I honestly get why Singh chose to distance himself from Trudeau but I kind of see where Trudeau is coming from to say he should have at least talked to him first. You don't just quit your job without telling anyone and disappear. Not unless something really bad happened where you feel unsafe to do so or its just such a shitty workplace. I'm not aware of anything like that to have happened between the two. It seemed to be just a split in political priorities.
EDIT: Completely forgot about Trudeau's forced arbitration of the rail workers strike. I take back what I said above.
The NDP is very-much a pro- worker party. When the liberals forced the workers into arbitration instead of allowing them to strike, they cut at one of the core issues for the NDP. The liberals committed their act against the railworkers in public, so the response being in public makes sense.
It would be the same as an environmental party publicly cutting ties with a "pro business" party for allowing the creation of new farm land by reducing the size of a national park.
I completely forgot about that whole incident. I guess in that context it does make sense, I agree. A political tit-for-tat between the 2 parties.
Also, I can see from the NDP perspective, the view that the Liberals weren't holding up their part of the deal to advance NDP policy. In this circumstance, it's not like quitting a job. Trudeau wasn't Singh's boss. They had an agreement that the NDP said was mutable from the start based on their discretion. For Trudeau to bellyache about it all now is, I think, a bit silly, considering the essentially cost-free benefit his party gained from the agreement for years.
Really? The labour party backed out of a deal after the other party busts a big union strike. Anyone could've seen it coming. I doubt Singh felt a phone call was warranted when the libs did something so antithetical to their core principles. It goes against everything the NDP was founded on.
