NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he stands by his decision not to vote non-confidence in the Liberal government and trigger an early election in late 2024 because doing so would have led to a majority Conservative government.
While we could have won lots of seats, it would have meant a Pierre Poilievre majority Conservative government, and I could not stomach that,” Singh said in a recent interview with the Toronto Star.
