1. Mr. Singh's position here makes no sense, and he is attempting to look tough from a point of weakness.
The government has no reason whatsoever to not call his bluff.

2. If #TheFelonPresident imposes tariffs anytime prior to the end of March, it's not like the pain Canadians will suffer (and their need for relief), will be less, the longer this goes on.
Mr. Singh won't be less willing to pass aid at the end of March than he is today.

3. In addition, recent polling tends to indicate that the bottom is falling out of the NDP.
It could emerge with eight fewer seats in BC alone.
More time to write the ship could be useful.

4. Finally, these numbers appear to indicate that even if Parliament was to be recalled now, and these measures passed, Canadians are not too keen on an early election.

5. In addition to these, there is legislation in the House, to increase access to voting in the next election that the NDP says it wants, but has blocked, as well as a few recommendations from the foreign interference report that should be implemented prior to the next vote.
6. And with possible further tariffs in early April, following the review called for in the executive order, especially if there are first ones, Canadians will have very little appetite for games.
7. If Mr Singh were smart, he'd just bite the bullet, play the statesman card, and assure Canadians of stability until October.
Right now, he's just setting himself up, to reverse himself at the end of March.
He gets through the nanosecond but at the cost of the long game.
