Jagmeet Singh and his idealism find their moment - Macleans.ca

Late on Wednesday night, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh expressed what millions of Canadians were feeling: pure disappointment in Justin Trudeau. The wretched irony of a privileged 29-year-old son of a prime minister—a teacher, no less, at one of Canada’s most prestigious private schools—dressing up in brownface is so obviously, indefensibly wrong that even Trudeau apologists are shaking their heads. The PM’s penchant for playing dress-up will be thoroughly scrutinized in the coming weeks.

“You might feel like giving up on Canada, you might feel like giving up on yourselves,” he said, choking up a little. “I want you to know that you have value, you have worth and you are loved.” Given the overwhelming number of white-faced pundits and journalists analyzing this issue, Singh’s voice should outweigh other critics’.

So I awoke this morning and Trudeau wants to meet this man for a photo op! NOT unless it in private is the response LOL 😉😳 behind closed door the brown man can kick the shit out of pretty boy and the smiling brown man and the black and blue man can have their photo op😉🤫👀🙏

Going to have to have a thicker skin than that....find some real problems to focus on

Trudeau show up to vote with ur black make up ON. It's tolerance in Canadian democracy & it's 2019!!! Yhide? Come out of the closet with Pride & Pride2019 TrudeauBlackface TrudeauRacist TrudeauBlackFaceGate Vote ElectionsCanada Election2019 AndrewScheer

100% ! theJagmeetSingh is the leader we've been waiting for through the scrap heap politics has become. He takes the high road, and stays on topics....people & policies.

It takes ALL the colours of the rainbow to create BROWN.

nathancullen It was a reveal of the genuinely caring nice compassionate person Singh is which are character traits Trudeau CLEARLY doesn't have & Canadians are in need of in a leader.

He rose to the occasion to act like a victim

yeah, you use this to boost another socialist, you are such partisans

bowker_john And how did he feel about Sheer hanging out with Faith Goldy and gang? Don’t remember his deep hurt !

By telling brown people to hug their families? Yeah, ok

Thank you theJagmeetSingh for centering this on those that may have been harmed by the images - and what memories or backlash they evoke.

I can understand why some people could never vote conservative because they are deep rooted leftists. Therefore, I think a leftist choosing Singh over Trudeau choses the lesser of 2 evils.

Playing the victim card is hardly rising to the occasion, except to left-wingers.

Trudeau is a Liberal election war room nightmare now! How times have changed for him and then.

it is the problem, for Quebeckers, it's not a problem. my wife disguised herself as black for a party and she is absolutely not racist. Singh does not really understand the Quebec mentality, I hate Trudeau but talk about real business

It's about time that guy actually did something. I was starting to wonder if he was in the race.

I beg to differ. If theJagmeetSingh had any integrity and knew what he was doing he would of said the same thing about JustinTrudeau that he did about AndrewScheer I will not support hm.

not sure i want a leader that breaks down over a picture of a halloween costume. i imagine leading a country you're going to have to deal with way tougher stuff than that. spend his whole term bawling.

Was he asleep or praying?

Singh promises public dental coverage for families making under $70,000An NDP government would extend full public dental coverage to households making less than $70,000 a year, leader Jagmeet Singh says. Guess they figure any family making over 70k is living like Royalty. NDP will have those working taxpayers households that make over $70,000 pay for the dental work of those households which make less than $70,000. It’s socialism, and eventually people just stop working. When pigs fly!!

Singh says racist photos latest in 'pattern of behaviour' from TrudeauNDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says newly uncovered photographs showing Justin Trudeau in brownface and blackface are the latest sign that the Liberal leader's actions do not always match his public persona. Remember when the “black face”topic was huge in the USA,it was back in February this year. JT said nothing about his black face incidents then,nor did he say anything for 18 years,until he was caught. JT actively hid his black face incidents,did he comment on the Kavanaugh case? But he’s still saying Max is the racist with a straight face? 😂 Trudeau is more racist than 99.99% of Canadians. Some may be worse but most are better people. Past actions. We all strive to be better people, most of us anyway.
