There’s no rest for the wicked, so the saying goes, and both Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh are going to be super busy now that the Conservatives have signalled they will force a non-confidence motion in early January.

When the 12 days of Christmas are over, Singh will be tested on whether he is willing to bring down the government — as he said he would — or whether he will again choose ambiguity over action. The NDP leader may have said he would vote for a non-confidence motion, but he never said when.
