Singh lays out conditions for NDP support in Parliament after Oct. 21 vote

Singh, buoyed by good reviews of his performance in Monday's English debate, headed into Thursday night's French clash by laying out the conditions it would take to earn the support of the NDP in a minority Parliament.Not surprisingly, those conditions largely match his campaign menu -- national pharmacare and dental care programs, more affordable housing, eliminating interest on federal student loans, a tax for the super-rich and action on climate change.

Singh's NDP backs a system of mixed-member proportional representation, which advocates say better reflects the will of voters as expressed in the popular vote. More details were expected at a news conference with NDP hopeful Emilie Taman and former MP Nathan Cullen later in the day on Parliament Hill.

Trudeau, meanwhile, popped in to a pumpkin patch in rural Ottawa, hoping to give a boost to the Liberal candidate who's trying to knock off Conservative attack dog Pierre Poilievre. But the day's big political story will be the debate, which starts at 8 p.m. ET in Gatineau, Que., within sight of Parliament. It's one last big chance for the six leaders to make their marks before the Oct. 21 election, especially on the volatile electorate in Quebec.

Singh says much of his focus will be on attacking Trudeau, despite polling that suggests the Bloc Quebecois are gaining ground in Quebec at the expense of the New Democrats.

Mr. Singh, a question for you: How will your Canada help solve the crises in the Indian occupied Kashmir?

I think Singh needs to worry about his platform that will bankrupt the country.

Singh should be in Jail for saying eligals,LAW BREAKERS are comeing here because Trump is putting them and kids in cages, you know JUST LIKE NO NUTS OBAMA DID, so otherwise Singh is telling canadians it's ok to break the law for these reasons...WOW .stop the freeloaders NOW.

Make this guy go next week!! Not for Canada!!!

So in other words as long as we have an NDP government fronted the Libs he will be OK. Just like in BC a party with less than 20% support will govern the country.

I can handle a Green, NDP, and Liberal coalition.

Read: Singh throws in towel

Here’s hoping he and his party do a major face plant on Election Day, for the good of the country.

And now you know why politicians are always so well lit.

NDP reminds Trudeau of electoral-reform promise before last debateWith the last leaders' debate of the federal election campaign due tonight, New Democrats are reminding Justin Trudeau of his broken promise to change the electoral system. Both idiots. Yea, because electoral reform is the only chance the NDP have in securing enough seats to be relevant. And it's the path to Liberal oblivion. Never going to happen while either the Libs or Cons hold power. Trudeau is such a liar, he must go!

Singh swarmed by cheering students at Ryerson University day after debateNDP Leader Jagmeet Singh got a rock-star reception at Toronto’s Ryerson University, with many students approaching him to say he did well in Monday night's English-language leaders' debate. Swarmed by cheering Ryerson communists Shocking that the leftists at Ryerson dawn over Singh, absolutely shocking! Contrast with AndrewScheer who is afraid of students. 'Scheer was scheduled to visit a cafe on campus of the University of Waterloo...but a last-minute change of plans 'forced' him to skip it ... in favour of a local hot dog spot just 600 metres away'
