Trudeau Rules Out Coalition With Ndp After Saying He May Be Open To It

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Apr, 2015 12:24 PM
    HALIFAX — Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says he doesn't see any possibility of a coalition with the NDP, a day after he said he would "maybe" be more open to the idea if Tom Mulcair wasn't running the party.
     
    Speaking in Halifax today, Trudeau said even if Mulcair wasn't the leader, there are too many policy differences to make a coalition possible.
     
    Mulcair reiterated his openness last month to a possible coalition with the Liberals if it is necessary to topple Stephen Harper's Conservatives.
     
    Some recent polls have suggested the possibility of a minority government in Ottawa after this fall's election.
     
    Trudeau says he disagrees with Mulcair's confrontational style, likening him to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
