I was waiting for something like this to be published

Liberals still mulling delivery of dental care as clock ticks to fulfil pledge to NDP

This may be the catalyst that forces the NDP to vote non-confidence. They can't support the LPC to the end of the deal if they aren't gonna get their end of the bargain. The question is, when are they gonna pull the plug? I'm guessing it will be over a budget, but I don't know if it will be the next one or the one after.

Agreed. Look out for their fundraising data the next couple quarters.

I think the LPC will call a snap election if anything. If NDP finances are looking fine then they may vote non-confidence, but even then it seems like it's in their best interest to try to sort the party with as much time as possible, and they probably will tolerate the LPC underdelivering. (Maybe a very cynical view of the NDP but....)

Early-Mid 2023 (Late March?) would be my guess to be honest. I suspect they'd like to get their vanity bill (C-11) shoved through and use C-21 (& all the OICs) & possibly an abortion bill to die on the writ to campaign on, alongside with a better economic situation then for more favourable conditions for them.

NDP ain’t gonna do shit they are liberals when it comes to passing bills and only crawl out with a platform when it’s election time
