The NDP party will support Trudeau\u2019s Liberals in exchange for deals on pharmaceutical and dental care plans, but it will not have a lawmaker in Trudeau\u2019s Cabinet and Trudeau said the NDP won\u2019t have a veto on any budget or any other legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve agreed to work together,\u201d Trudeau said. \u201cIt\u2019s about focusing on what we agree on instead of what we disagree on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NDP leader Jagmeet Singh said it isn\u2019t a coalition government and if the Liberals fall short on conditions the deal doesn\u2019t continue.

Kennedy.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel B\u00e9land, a politics professor at McGill University in Montreal, said the agreement will provide much stability to Trudeau\u2019s Liberal minority government while promoting further left-leaning spending priorities like dental care and medical drug coverage onto the policy agenda.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis would create a frustrating situation, with less clout for the Conservative Party of Canada,\u201d B\u00e9land said.<\/p>\n<p>B\u00e9land calls the length of Justin Trudeau\u00b4s tenure impressive, noting it would make him one of the longest serving Prime Ministers in recent debates, alongside Jean Chr\u00e9tien and Stephen Harper, who both served for about a decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, his father Pierre Trudeau, the third longest serving Prime Minister on Canadian history, served for more than 15 years, a performance his son might struggle to emulate,\u201d B\u00e9land said.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Bothwell, a professor of Canadian history and international relations at the University of Toronto, said the agreement puts Trudeau in a position to expand the social welfare net and that\u2019s probably what he\u2019d be remembered for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he realizes that and to some extent that\u2019s what behind it,\u201d Bothwell said. \u201cA lot of people when they think of Trudeau, they just think of showy gestures, and they think of semi woke politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bothwell said Trudeau\u2019s legacy includes taking the party from third party status to being Canada\u2019s natural dominant party again. \u201cPolitically that\u2019s a very considerable achievement. And he stopped the rightward drift under Stephen Harper, and that\u2019s significant,\u201d Bothwell said.<\/p>\n<p>Bothwell said Russia\u2019s war against the Ukraine could mean another cold war and there will be pressure on Canada to bring the defense budget up to 2% of GDP, a measure on which it had long lagged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last time Canada had a really high defense expenditure was about 4% in the 1950s and 60s. When that happened they just put off any idea of expanding the social safety net,\u201d Bothwell said.<\/p>\n<p>Bothwell said tax rates could go up. \u201cThere\u2019s room,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Canada&#8217;s Justice Minister: Trump Supporters &#8216;Oughta Be Worried&#8217; About Frozen Bank Accounts <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ROeIIGw0yA\">https:\/\/t.co\/ROeIIGw0yA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartLondon\/status\/1494313182327762948?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h5 class=\"western\"><em><span>Follow Breitbart London on Facebook:<\/span><\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BreitbartLondon\/\"><span>Breitbart London<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORONTO (AP) \u2013 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday his Liberal Party has reached an agreement with the leftist opposition New Democratic Party that would keep his party in power<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1394457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/54"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1394457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1394457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1394457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1394457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
