i'm not sure how smart that is - they're not going to be able to play stupid, or be sly, after that.
it's a pretty clear signal that they're trying to trigger an election, and the context they're doing it in is really pretty daft.
i mean, if this bill doesn't pass, a lot of people are going to end up pretty screwed, pretty fast and they're going to have to go out there and explain why they shut down parliament for a month, then triggered an election instead of getting through the proper spending.
they obviously miscalculated and had to scramble to undo it. and, now what? well, that's the hard part. but, coming out and being obvious about it was kind of dumb....
if naive jagmeet singh didn't clearly see what was happening before, he should surely see it clearly, now, and adjust to realize that the liberals actually want these bills to fail, and to trigger an election.
