Debrief at the Desk: Lisa LaFlamme speaks with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh

TORONTO – As talk of minority governments and future coalitions dominates the final week of the campaign, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is attempting to win over left-leaning voters by portraying his party, instead of the Liberals, as the true progressive choice to counter the Conservatives.

Singh has been making use of a recent bump in his personal popularity to drive home his key platform pledges, which include the introduction of universal pharmacare, the creation of affordable housing, scrapping the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, climate change action, a tax on the “ultra-rich,” and interest-free student loans.

In the fourth and final of CTV News Chief Anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme’s interviews with the major federal party leaders, Singh discusses what he would do in a minority Parliament, Bill 21, and how he would work with premiers.Thank you so much for making time to join us tonight. I want to start with some clarification on the possibility of a minority government. You seem to have kind of wavered on the question of coalition. Do you support one or not?So I'm open to anything.

LisaLaFlammeCTV Hard to respect a politician willing to run disinformation ads against his competition.

LisaLaFlammeCTV wow, Jagmeet Singh absolutely nailed this interview

LisaLaFlammeCTV The way he told Lisa La Flamme that he rejected the way she framed the question shows who he really is, he starting tonsound a little arrogant. That comment is not a comment of a progressive person. A bit of popularity and it all went to his head.

LisaLaFlammeCTV way to go trying to give him an out for insulting almost half of canadians. guess he doesn't know what the job entails. would be a good partner for hateful Libs. i heard him live and was totally offended. and i worry about cons but the left has gone mad

LisaLaFlammeCTV I don’t respect that rag top

LisaLaFlammeCTV He's not ready either lol.

LisaLaFlammeCTV Seems a lot of back tracking now on the whole coalition government, but never be fooled, a vote now for the NDP is a vote for the Liberals, and like them the NDP will do anything to gain federal power. They would have JT over a barrel in a second,and we would all be forced to pay

LisaLaFlammeCTV And last but not least, Jagmeet defending his appearance at a Sikh independence rally.

LisaLaFlammeCTV Only after there was a public backlash did Jagmeet 'change is mind'. First reactions are honest reactions. Jagmeet is a bald faced liar with ulterior motives.

LisaLaFlammeCTV What kind of “leader” blows off 6-7 million Canadians because we are conservative. theJagmeetSingh isn’t fit for the job. Also, not allowed in the US or India because of his extremist views. GucciSocialist
