"I know that if I had chosen to end it, it would have started with a call to him. I would have said, 'You know what, Jagmeet? It's not going to work.' You make those tough calls."

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.
