Singh puts PM 'on notice' over pharmacare bill, says failure to deliver a 'deal breaker'

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he has put Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "on notice" that the failure to present a sufficient piece of pharmacare framework legislation by the March 1 deadline will be a supply-and-confidence deal-breaker.

The difference here thought is that unlike tobacco regulation, this bill will be applied to the average person. In the end, it probably won't matter, given the low number of private member's bills that are passed. Just more virtue signalling and posturing. It would be interesting to see what the Supreme Court would make of this.

It is frightening enough to me that it even occurs to people to fine and incarcerate others for speaking wrongly. I thought that that notion had been put to bed with the Inquisition and the List of Prohibited Books in 1966 and was only to be found in communist and other authoritarian societies.

Nineteen Eighty-Four is a dystopian novel and cautionary tale by English writer George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Wikipedia

Fahrenheit 451 is a 1953 dystopian novel by American writer Ray Bradbury. It presents a future American society where books have been outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found. Wikipedia

The Index Librorum Prohibitorum (English: Index of Forbidden Books) was a changing list of publications deemed heretical or contrary to morality by the Sacred Congregation of the Index (a former Dicastery of the Roman Curia); Catholics were forbidden to print or read them, subject to the local bishop.[1] Catholic states could enact laws to adapt or adopt the list and enforce it.

The Index was active from 1560 to 1966.[2][3][4][page needed] It banned thousands of book titles and blacklisted publications, including the works of Europe's intellectual elites.[5][6][7]

For a Brit that has been living with the right to speak as one pleases since the Glorious Revolution it is concerning.

Not really the current government in power, but it seems some feel there are no other important issues to deal with.

NDP bill would prescribe jail terms for speaking well of fossil fuels

C-372, also known as the Fossil Fuel Advertising Act, was tabled Monday as a private member’s bill by NDP MP Charlie Angus

I guess private member bills don't have to be vetted through AG lawyers for the Charter compliance.

That PR stunt likely won’t play over well with his voter base, its a pretty hick area which tends to be more ‘blue collar NDP’ than ‘enviro-socialist NDP’.

If I were his Conservative opposition in the next election, I would hammer him with this issue every chance I got.

Team Orange’ll need a hockey sock full of election prep/campaign money to consider letting the government fall.

At a town hall during last month's Edmonton caucus retreat, Singh and his MPs heard pleas to pin down the—as Singh characterized them—at-times "slippery" Liberals on pharmacare.

“at-times?”

Actually, the more rabid enviro-socialists would LOVE this, given their penchant for extremes in many things, including controlling hearing what they don't like to hear.

And this isn't aimed at his constituents (while generally rural, but many of whom aren't exactly "hick" - after all, PP is hungry for their votes, too), but I suspect a way of letting the more rabid base blow off some orange steam. Team Red may even let it run just a bit - to show just how rabid this bit of Team Orange can be - before shutting it down (as others have said, private members bills = snowball's chance in hell of passing). If they thought enough ahead, that is ...
