A tax that consumers might not even see any actual cost relief from if the gas companies decide to just increase their prices when it’s gone.

So you didn't bother to see any polling number yet still decided to make some statement on that lack of information just because it fits your grandstanding narrative?
And yes his seat is most certainly in jeopardy (his Burnaby South riding is being changed into Burnaby Central which is currently projecting CPC).

The election date change drew a lot of criticism as it would secure pensions for many outgoing MPs, so much so that the NDP tried to get the Liberals to revert back the date but it was too late. Singh won in a byelection and as such his own date for eligibility is earlier than October 2025 (Feb 2025)
