Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been highly critical of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and its leader Jagmeet Singh. He claims the party has shown doubts about its stance on carbon pricing in response to political pressure from Conservative leader Pierre Poulliver. In his speech, Trudeau said the NDP has no clear plan to tackle climate change and has lost focus on delivering progressive policies by pulling out of the supply and confidence deal with the minority government.

These statements were made in the context of approaching mid-term elections in two parliamentary seats in Canada; One in Montreal and one in Winnipeg. The presence of the NDP in these contests and their stance on environmental issues can play a decisive role in the election results.

On the other hand, Poilover also reacted to Singh's remarks by releasing a video and pointed out that the NDP has voted in favor of the Liberals' carbon pricing in the past. It seems that this issue has become one of the main axes of election campaigns and debates and is focused on the economy and environmental policies.
