We're back.

As expected, there has been little major political news in the last two weeks and First Reading staff have been able to take a break comfortably. But the main things we missed are:

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper – the only one that most Conservatives seem to agree on Former Tories –Officially Approved Leader Candidate Pierre PoilievrePoilievre has complete control of the race and has always been so Harper is not going out here. There is none. Needless to say, approvaldoes not appear to have any effect on the number of Poilievre by.

Speaking of leadership races,Elizabeth May is ready to tryto regain control of the Green Party of Canada.Recall that she resigned as leader in 2019. However, May is probably a problem because her resignation coincided with one of Canada's mostparty self-sacrificingepic attacks in Canadian political history. Recall that the Taliban took over Afghanistan and Canadaalmost abandoned its former allyand died. Global Affairs Canada turned out to be completely fine doing it again in UkraineAccording to Globe and Mail, the eve of February 24, the Russian invasion of Canada's diplomatscollapsed within a few days, which was entirely envisioned forUkraine, and many of the staff of the Ukrainian embassy would be on the Russian killing list. Nonetheless, the Kyiv embassy in Canada worked to evacuate themselves, deliberately keeping details of more dire information from Ukrainian colleagues.

AndJustin Trudeau spent most of July on aprivate jetTrudeau has a climate Talking about fluctuations, but more than most other world leaders, it didn't stop him from stacking 26,238 km of jet trips in just one month. And it burned jet fuel about the value of the entire tanker truck. And it wasn't like he went to an important summit. Most of that fuel was burned for photography.

This week, NDP leader Justin Trudeauis the first At the time of his apparent willingness to overthrow the Trudeau government if the Liberal Party did not respect the conditions of their de facto coalition.

Within six months of the first announcement of the liberal / NDP agreement, Shin's decree states thatNDP is effectively the majority of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Government

Formally known as theConfidence and Cooperation Agreement, Shin pledged on March 22. did. His 25 party members, Caucus, will support the Liberal Party until at least 2025 in exchange for aspending promise of about $ 15 billion.

However, the Liberal Party has not yet made progress on its core promise, the "new dental program for low-income Canadians."

At that time, the NDP said that by 2025, any Canadian household with an annual income of less than $ 90,000 would be free of dental treatment through a deal with the Liberal Party. I promised to guarantee it in the end.

The first step in deploying was to ensure that free dental care was available to children under the age of 12 in low-income households.

When even that pledge seemed deadlocked, Shin came out this week to signal that he could sink the deal and trigger a new federal election. ..

“I made it clear to the Prime Minister directly that this had to happen…. The contract was based on this"Yes," Shintold the Toronto Starin a telephone interview.

This comment, perhaps not what the NDP wanted, evoked an immediate reaction from the Liberal government. Liberal sources have given Canadian Press a temporary suggestion to send cash to low-income children who need to have their teeth trimmed, although they probably won't have a dental treatment plan ready by the end of the year. The dental pledge, which he said was, was one of the few measurable promises in the agreement, which lacked little detail. For indigenous housing, the deal only promised "significant additional investment." As for the country's Pharmacare, it promised "continuous progress." Regarding climate change, we promised to "take steps to achieve significant emission reductions."

Meanwhile, the benefits of theNDP agreement to the Trudeau government are immediateone of the slimmestelection wins in Canadian history. In 2021, the NDP / Liberal Agreement granted Trudeau power to a degree that would normally be denied by the prime minister of a minority government.

This is most prominent in thepassage of the House of Commons of Bill C-11, a series of radical controls in Canada. It was used. The Internet, including the extension of CRTC monitoring to online streaming platforms such as Netflix and YouTube.

Unlike traditional coalitions, this transaction did not include power sharing with the NDP. The Cabinet is entirely composed of Liberal Party appointees, and the Confidence and Cooperation Agreement guarantees only occasional meetings between the two parties. For example, Shin and Trudeau only agreed to sit every three months.

A few Ottawa watchers have marked the signing of the NDP / Liberal Agreement as the beginning of a period of significant malaise in the Government of Trudeau"Everything is thick again. We don't yet recognize it as a minority government, "said one liberalto explainto John Ivison of the National Post.

Meanwhile, Shin has continued to criticize the government for publicly agreeing to maintain power in his own caucuses. ..

Recently, this included the official NDP statementof, which caused a series of medical staff shortages leading to the temporary closure of the Canadian ER by the Trudeau government. Blame. "Every time the prime minister makes excuses and blames others, it hurt Canadians seeking care," Shin wrote in a weekend tweet.

Singh also confirmed in a Monday comment to the Toronto Star that he would blame the Tordo government, saying that "the government is ruining a lot." "I'm sure they will understand the issue of dental care in time to avoid elections," he said.
