NDP’s Stance on Liberal Budget Remains Uncertain

As the Canadian political landscape braces for the potential implications of the new federal budget, the New Democratic Party (NDP), led by Jagmeet Singh, finds itself at a crossroads. Despite an existing agreement to support the Liberal Party on key votes, the NDP has not yet committed to backing the recently introduced budget.

The political dance continues as the NDP weighs its options, with the future of the budget—and the government’s stability—hanging in the balance.
