OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said this week’s Toronto—St. Paul’s byelection results showed “how frustrated” Canadians are with Justin Trudeau’s Liberals but declined to explain why his own party’s numbers also experienced a similar drop.
In 2021, the federal NDP got 16.8 per cent of the vote in the Toronto riding, which its represented by the provincial NDP in the Ontario legislature. But during Monday’s byelection, the party garnered only 10.9 per cent of the vote — a drop of nearly six points.
