But he’s making it clear that any collapse in the deal, which is meant to hold off a federal election until next year, would be the Liberals’ fault.
Mr. Singh has been talking tough this week about the looming deadline to table a bill, and he met with the prime minister on Monday to lay out his expectations.
Reporters lobbed questions at Mr. Singh on Feb. 7 about what consequences he’s willing to bring down on the Liberals.

Did anyone here watch the town hall from Edmonton last night? I watched the first from Red Deer on X and attempted to watch last night on FB but the hecklers and comments pissed me off so quit watching. after about 15 minutes. They are sure a different bunch north of me and I don't say that in a positive way from what I heard. I am sure Ganum will have something to say negative as he didn't watch from Red Deer but had lots to say.
