He's trying to hold it together and pretend like this is a hard decision for him but it never was in doubt.
Singh needs this election as badly as Trudeau. The transition from CERB to EI has not gone through the house yet, everyone who is still on the CERB is going to be fucked in a month's time.
That's a rare opportunity for Singh, he can campaign on restoring the CERB with retroactive payments for the ones that were missed. That would occur 2 months before Christmas as well, it's a massive chance for him to get more seats, if not get himself elected outright.
The gamble for him is that will the very people who he pretends to care about blame him for causing an election and preventing their transition to EI, or will they be blinded by the fact that they'll get thousands of dollars if they vote for him?
My gut instinct says it's the latter, and I'm sure old Jughead feels the same way.
Batten the hatches and make ready your meme cannons.
It's election time.
I'm not sure I believe that.
If there were another lockdown while people had run out of CERB without the transition to EI being voted in, they'd be freaking out.
There was 9 million people on the CERB initially, and roughly 6 million of them actually needed it.
Trudeau had 6 million total votes in the last election. Singh had 3 million votes.
9 million votes wouldn't just be enough for a majority, it'd be enough for a clear mandate.
If Singh has any instincts he'll take the gamble. He could definitely win a majority if he dropped parliament based on the throne speech.

Singh can campaign on free money all he wants. Anyone with a brain knows he'll never form government.
