Jagmeet Singh will be meeting this week with members of his caucus for a strategy session as it prepares to respond to the Sept. 23 Throne Speech

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.'We’ve been focused on people – exclusively focused on what people need and how we can get help to them,' NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, seen here in Toronto on Aug. 26, 2020, said in a recent interview with The Globe and Mail.

“We’ve been focused on people – exclusively focused on what people need and how we can get help to them," he said in a recent interview with The Globe and Mail. However, Prof. Graefe said, considering the party’s organizational and financial states, he doesn’t believe there is a huge appetite on the part of the NDP to go to the polls.

Mr. Singh said his greatest concern now is the future of the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, which provides financial support to Canadians whose jobs have been directly affected by the pandemic. The government announced in August that eligibility would be extended to Sept. 26, for a maximum of 28 weeks.The CERB has been the most substantial federal pandemic support measure, paying out $68.5-billion to 8.6 million applicants as of early August.

globepolitics Oh please. theJagmeetSingh CharlieAngusNDP and the lot will hold up the ugliest and most unethical of Liberal governments if they think they'll get one or two of their policy asks. Trudeau's been eating their lunch for votes since 2015.

theJagmeetSingh I will bet anyone that beatmeat loses his seat whenever the next Fed. Election is called - what an epic failure putting that uttee loser to lead that party.....cdnpoli

If jjhorgan calls a snap election in BC this week, theJagmeetSingh will find himself between the rock & the hard place. He may need to put some water in his wine.

Hopefully so the NDP will gey wiped out. Jack Layton would be disgusted and embarrassed at the antics and personal attacks that its leader and others have resorted to. How many NDP members other than theJagmeetSingh and CharlieAngusNDP have we heard from This is a party

And that POS will never get my vote.

The NDP may actually gain some support if there was an election Every single Liberal I know is looking to place their support elsewhere because of Trudeau and although a few may go Conservative it’s more likely that the NDP would gain most of that support

An election at this time is a good opportunity for the NDP to pick up seats. Disillusioned liberals have to have somewhere to go.

Are they getting rid of Singh and replacing him with someone electable?

Erin O'Toole courts Quebec voters, wants to triple his party's caucus there next electionDuring the leadership race, O\u0027Toole rolled out a Quebec\u002Dspecific platform heavy on promoting provincial autonomy and protecting francophone culture Oh really? Well then...get rid of the religious, anti-abortion, gun rights (even though we don't have gun rights in Canada) zealots first, then we can talk. The Con party is too old fashioned, too white, too religious for Quebec. The Tool supports Quebec taking away the rights of anglophones. Typical cons will always give away your rights if it means they might get a couple of separatist votes.
