Of those polled, 51 percent believed that both the Liberals and the NDP betrayed those who voted for them last October. When divided by party, about a quarter of Liberal and NDP voters agreed that this was indeed a betrayal by their own party of choice. However, one thing was clear: the country is happy to avoid elections in the near future, according to Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos. “I think what people really embrace is the idea of some stability,” he said. “What it is doing is giving us some certainty about our policy; and given that we have had three elections since 2015, that is probably a relief for most Canadians.” The story goes on under the ad Prime Minister Justin Trinto announced the supply and trust agreement on March 22, telling reporters it would be in force until the end of the current parliament in 2025. “This means that during this uncertain period, the government can operate with predictability and stability, present and implement budgets and do things for Canadians,” he said.

The agreement does not form a coalition government. This would mean that the NDP and the Liberals would form a government together and would require NDP MPs to sit on the cabinet. Instead, it is a trust and trust agreement – meaning that one party agrees to support another in a vote of confidence for a period of time, usually in exchange for progress on specific files. As Singh’s party wrote the deal, some supporters read it as the NDP signing the death certificate for his dream. “Most people think this is the NDP abandoning the idea of ever forming a government,” Bricker said.

Four out of 10, however, disagreed with the case.
