Rex Murphy: Mr. Singh has bound himself to Mr. Trudeau “with hoops of steel,” and meshed with the Liberal leader with something close to a Spock-like “mind-meld.”
The two of them could not be closer if they had fallen into a vat full of super-glue. It is this immersive compact that has given the Liberals the license to act as they wish without any boundaries. To ignore scandals, to spend as with a high-pressure fire hose, to eviscerate Parliament, and to ride for two whole years without a budget. Name the majority government that had that ease of governing?
So what advantage could the prime minister hope for in a new election, even should he win a majority? Governing then might actually have more limits imposed upon it.
One reason is to get a new and fresh mandate might be to go now, because in a year or two, the real costs of his financial recklessness, the “bill” to be paid for all those billions in debt and deficit, will be known. And post-COVID the demolition of the Canadian economy will be revealed in its true measure.
