NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh comments on a photo from 2001 surfacing of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau wearing 'brownface' as he makes a statement in Toronto, on Sept. 18, 2019.Jagmeet Singh was clearly upset, Wednesday night, when he talked to reporters about the photograph of Justin Trudeau wearing brownface back in 2001.
In his autobiography, Mr. Singh wrote about the physical and emotional abuse he suffered as a young man growing up brown and wearing a turban. Fighting back against that racism defined him and led him to enter public life. Now the question of race and skin colour and privilege is front and centre in this campaign.
Many progressive voters were already troubled by the performance of Mr. Trudeau – the self-proclaimed environmentalist who bought an oil pipeline; the self-proclaimed feminist whose treatment of Jody Wilson-Raybould led her to resign from cabinet, with Jane Philpott joining in solidarity. That doesn’t mean this scandal won’t help the NDP cause, however. Mr. Singh’s visibility is bound to increase, along with support for his party, and that’s never a bad thing. There are tight three-way races in B.C.'s Lower Mainland that could now trend NDP.
globepolitics Not really. The liberals I spoke with today are entrenched with Trudeau, and the conservatives cannot stand Scheer's lack of personality. NDP has nothing to offer to the most ignored population, renters. So all his positivist farce is falling apart with his speech about pain.
globepolitics When you consider that the man has to gain from someone else's down fall and the boost it up to benefit.......that to me is worse than the person who screwed up. Trudeau screwed up yes and I am not voting for him anyways and I'm a liberal but I'm not voting for this guy at all.
globepolitics All these are 'own goals'. Just think what would happen if PMJT actually dared to have more than one open discussion where other leaders can question him. The man cannot debate his record as PM which is just atrocious.
globepolitics NDP may be cool, but their plans are not ready to meet Canada's ambition for change to meet the global challenges and changes.
globepolitics I donf think Canada is ready for Singh yet...Lets see how he does as a MLA first
globepolitics Great leader wrong party
globepolitics Ridiculous analysis.
globepolitics
globepolitics Nah
globepolitics He still wants to spend everyones money.
globepolitics People are sick of politicians who whine about their hurt feelings. We need strength and authenticity. Bernier is the only one
globepolitics Who sent those pictures to press. I don’t want to be voting for that person.
globepolitics Wrong... It's Andrew Scheer
JohnIbbitson globepolitics He's treated this 'blunder' with dignity and a heartfelt sincerity that definitely got my attention. He was always my second choice. That hasn't changed, but if you weren't considering him at all, I think you should look again.
globepolitics Singh has really emerged through Trudeau’s blunders as an excellent leader and man .You can see and feel the mans truth and integrity.I will be watching him with a lot more interest.
globepolitics Ghastly!
globepolitics He should adopt when they go low we go high!
globepolitics
globepolitics
globepolitics Not a fan of the NDP but I have been impressed with how Singh has dealt with this compared to other party leaders
globepolitics Not if enough votes move to him from the Liberals for the Conservatives to win. Then we all lose to white nationalism.
