Canada’s Trudeau and Sing pull a fast one

These two Tweets happened as a quick one-two punch against the Canadian people today.

The leader of the NDP held a ‘press conference’ at 1:00 to announce to the world that he was dissolving the coalition partnership between his NDP party and Trudeau’s Liberals. This should of course have resulted in an immediate vote of no confidence and an election in 6 weeks time…

Trudeau responds with this, both issues the NDP has made clear are what they want done. Actually both parties want done:

It looks to us like this is a con to push through “free lunches” and government dental care, both of which we can all be sure is every bit as good as ‘free’ medical care in Canada, and then once Trudeau inks that deal they will patch up their public rift.

With any luck, we here at Vlad Tepes are dead wrong and a no confidence vote happens tomorrow and we get an election in mid October. That, would be interesting.

The only thing we can be sure of is something that all our parents always reminded us of as children.

“There is no such thing as a free lunch”.
