NDP leader Jagmeet Singh reaffirms he will vote non-confidence against Liberal gov’t at earliest chance

‘I’m going to reiterate it. We will be voting against the government at the earliest occasion,’ Singh told a CBC ‘Power & Politics’ reporter

The leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh has again promised that once parliament resumes, he will vote non-confidence in the minority Liberal government, as all other opposition parties say they will do, which would then trigger an election.

Singh told reporters that he is very “clear on this point” in earlier promising to vote non-confidence against the Liberals, saying they should have “Parliament be back in session.”

“I’m going to reiterate it. We will be voting against the government at the earliest occasion,” Singh told a CBC “Power & Politics” reporter on January 20.

“We could have been voting on things that need to be done for Canadians. They chose to prorogue,” he said, adding, “We are going to be voting against the government at the earliest opportunity.”

Singh’s recent comments saying he will vote down the Liberal government once parliament resumes comes after Trudeau announced in early January that he plans to step down as Liberal Party leader once a new leader has been chosen. Parliament has been prorogued until at least the end of March, although Trudeau could resume it at any time if he wanted to.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, in early January, all major political parties in Canada promised to bring an election as soon as possible regardless of Trudeau’s resignation.

Just before Christmas, Singh promised he would bring forth a motion to topple Trudeau’s Liberal government after the new year.

It should be noted Singh’s NDP had in place a confidence agreement with the Liberals that was discarded in September. However, that did not stop the party from propping up Trudeau, at least until he promised to resign as party leader.

Speculation has been that Singh is waiting until the end of February to fully pull support of Trudeau so that he can qualify for his government MP pension. Since 2021, when the Liberals won a minority government, Singh’s NDP has voted confidence in Trudeau 286 times.

As for Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, he demanded Trudeau immediately reconvene Parliament on an “emergency” basis so Canada can deal with looming tariff threats hinted at by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump fires chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, appoints new military leader

President Donald Trump announced Friday the dismissal of General Charles Brown, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his gratitude toward Brown for his extensive contributions and leadership, wishing him and his family a prosperous future. Brown’s departure marks a pivotal moment in U.S. military leadership following over 40 years of service.

“I want to thank General Charles “CQ” Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump wrote.

Simultaneously, Trump introduced his nominee for Brown’s successor.

“Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a “warfighter” with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump said.

Trump said Caine’s appointment comes after he was overlooked for advancement during former President Joe Biden’s presidency.

“General Caine was passed over for promotion by Sleepy Joe Biden. But not anymore! Alongside Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Caine and our military will restore peace through strength, put America First, and rebuild our military,” Trump said. President Trump also announced plans to appoint five additional senior military officials, tasks he has delegated to Secretary Hegseth.

It was reported Thursday that Hegseth plans to dismiss Brown as part of President Trump’s commitment to eliminate “wokeness” from the military. Brown reportedly appears on a list of proposed removals submitted to Congress.

Brown had previously expressed his wish to retain his position even after Trump took office, and according to sources speaking to NBC News in Dec. 2024, Trump seemingly moderated his views on the general. Biden nominated Brown as chairman in 2023, and despite a heated confirmation hearing where senators scrutinized his alleged implementation of racial quotas in Air Force hiring practices, he was confirmed.

Meanwhile, Brown’s replacement, Caine, took office as the associate director for Military Affairs at the CIA on Nov. 3, 2021, after serving as the director of Special Programs at the Pentagon. Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, an F-16 pilot with extensive experience including over 150 combat hours, was commissioned in 1990 and has held numerous key roles, from the White House staff to special operations, and balances his military career with entrepreneurial ventures.
