Trump Proposes Closing Department of Education via Executive Action

                                     In a bold move, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his intention to dismantle the Department of Education through executive action.

Singh Rejects Conservative Non-Confidence Motion Despite Using His Own Words

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has announced that he will not support the Conservative Party's latest non-confidence motion, even though it quotes his own criticisms of the Liberal government. Singh stated that he refuses to play Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's "games" and emphasized his commitment to expanding dental care and pharmacare programs introduced under the NDP's former governing agreement with the Liberals.

The motion, expected to be introduced on Thursday, calls on the House of Commons to declare that it agrees with Singh's criticisms and has lost confidence in the government. If passed, this motion would trigger an election. However, Singh has made it clear that he is not willing to vote non-confidence and risk cutting the programs the NDP fought for.

The non-confidence vote was scheduled after Speaker Greg Fergus intervened to pause a filibuster on a privilege debate about a green technology fund. The Conservatives have said they would only end the debate if the NDP agrees to topple the government or if the Liberals turn over unredacted documents at the center of the parliamentary gridlock.

Singh's decision highlights his focus on delivering tangible benefits to Canadians rather than engaging in political maneuvering.
