Canadian Politics in Turmoil: Liberal-NDP Pact Collapses, Election Looms

The collapse of the confidence-and-supply agreement between the Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party (NDP) in Canada has thrown the country's political landscape into uncertainty. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's decision to withdraw from the pact with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's governing Liberals signals a significant shift, potentially leading to a federal election much sooner than anticipated. This development ends a period of relative stability where the NDP supported the minority Liberal government on key votes, in exchange for progress on shared priorities. The dissolution of this agreement raises questions about the future direction of Canadian politics and the timing of the next election.

How do you feel about political alliances like the Liberal-NDP pact, and should parties compromise their values for stability?

Looks like Canadian politics is finally getting interesting again; let's see if this shake-up gives more room for policies that actually respect individual freedom and fiscal responsibility.

The Liberal-NDP deal is dead — but that doesn't necessarily mean a fall election

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's decision to pull his party out of the confidence-and-supply agreement with the governing Liberals injects a lot of uncertainty into Canadian politics — and it could lead to a federal election earlier than planned.

Do you think political turmoil and uncertainty have a deeper impact on everyday citizens or is it just part of the political cycle?

Gallup Poll Bombshell: Over Half of Ukrainians Ready for Peace

More than half of Ukrainians want talks to end the war with Russia, according to the latest Gallup polls released on Tuesday, the war’s 1,000th day. The surveys, conducted in August and October, found that 52 percent of Ukrainians want their nation to negotiate an end to the war in Eastern Europe that has been raging for over two-and-half years. Almost four in 10 Ukrainians, 38 percent, want their military to keep fighting until it wins the war. Some 9 percent did not know or refused to share their opinion on the matter. The outlook of the Ukrainians is different from the period when the invasion began in February 2022. Just months after Russia’s invasion kicked off, around 73 percent of Ukrainians wanted to keep fighting. The support for continued fighting dropped among Ukrainians in 2023 when 63 percent wanted the conflict to continue while 27 percent preferred a negotiated peace, according to the survey. The poll comes as Ukraine fired U.S.-made long-range missiles inside Russia for the first time since the restriction was reportedly lifted by the Biden administration. On the same day, Russian President Vladimir Putin lowered the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. The support for continuing the war has dropped among Ukrainians across the country, dipping to below 50 percent throughout the nation this year, Gallup noted. The biggest declines were in regions that are far from the front lines. Over half of Ukrainians, 52 percent, agree that Kyiv should be open to making some territorial concessions as part of a cease-fire, according to the poll. Around 38 percent disagreed while another 10 percent did not know.
