A year after the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, it has now come to light that the slain Khalistani terrorist donated money to prominent Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh and his New Democratic Party (NDP).
The revelations were made by investigative journalist Mocha Bezirgan in an article on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday (5th July). Jagmeet Singh, a known Khalistani sympathiser, has received the donation from Nijjar in 2017.
OTTAWA — Just four out of 10 Canadians think the deal between the Liberals and the NDP to keep the Trudeau government in power has been a good thing, with even 40 per cent of New Democrats unconvinced of the value of the agreement, a new poll suggests.
Naheed Nenshi didn’t just win the leadership of Alberta NDP. He beat his opponents hands down. His closest competitor didn’t even garner 10 percent of the vote.
Regardless of where one stands politically, it’s undeniable that Nenshi helmed an incredible organizational machine that brought such an overwhelming victory in the party leadership.
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.
The stunning upset for the Liberals in the by-election in Toronto-St. Paul’s has intensified all sorts of chatter about whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should stay on as leader. It was, after all, a catastrophic loss in a once-stronghold; one that came after the Liberals had thrown just about everything at both the riding and the general electorate. But the results were just as catastrophic for someone else, and should call into question his ongoing fledgling leadership: Jagmeet Singh.
After reading an unredacted report from one of Canada’s intelligence oversight bodies, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he now thinks that Independent MP Han Dong shouldn’t be allowed back into the Liberal caucus.
Last week, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), a cross-party committee of MPs and senators with top security clearances, released a heavily blacked-out document alleging, based on intelligence, that some parliamentarians have been “semi-witting or witting” participants in the efforts of foreign states to interfere in Canadian politics.
An NDP MP who frequently joins parliamentary proceedings remotely from her riding billed the House of Commons for a trip she took to reportedly meet with “stakeholders” over the Christmas holidays in Quebec — travel that included bringing her husband and kids along at taxpayers’ expense.
Parliamentary travel records indicate NDP MP Niki Ashton was only in Ottawa on one occasion for four days during the fall 2022 sitting.
But on Dec. 21 of that year, Ashton flew from Thompson, Man. to Ottawa — five days after the House of Commons had already risen for its Christmas break.
The NDP’s Jagmeet Singh, who has been leading the left-wing party for almost seven years, has been pressing hard to appeal to Canada’s 1.8 million Muslims.
And it’s working, according to a revealing May poll by the Angus Reid Institute. Forty-one per cent of Canada’s Muslims are now ready to vote for Singh, compared to 31 per cent for Justin Trudeau. Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives appeal to just 15 per cent of Muslims.
However, for Singh that’s about the only good news.
OTTAWA — Riding a wave of anger and frustration with high grocery prices, the New Democrats will force a vote in the House of Commons on a motion to tax the excess profits of large grocers, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced Tuesday.
The non-binding vote, expected in the coming weeks, comes as concerns with the cost of living have soured public opinion on grocery store chains — and Justin Trudeau’s government.
New Democrats say they’re rolling out a new line of attack against the Conservatives as their leader Pierre Poilievre targets NDP-held ridings.
On Tuesday, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh started dropping a new line — “The price of Pierre Poilievre” — an echo of Poilievre’s frequent references to what he calls the “Liberal-NDP costly coalition.”
The party is also pushing for passage of the pharmacare bill — C-64, one of the centrepieces of its confidence and supply deal with the Liberals — before Parliament rises for the summer. The party says it wants to use it and other policy wins to advance its strategy.
Popular Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West, whose life was shaped by the labour movement, is worried by what’s happening to the party that once stood staunchly for blue-collar workers.
Not long ago West was a political staffer and campaign worker for Mike Farnworth, the longtime NDP MLA for Port Coquitlam and now minister of public safety. And Farnworth recently suggested in the legislature that West should be his successor.
The NDP abandoned those icky working class people long ago.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he’s still not ready to say whether his caucus will support the federal budget, citing a need for further “clarity” over whether the Liberals intend to address concerns surrounding the Canada Disability Benefit program.
Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill on Monday, as MPs resume debate on the 2024 financial plans, Singh said that while his caucus “fought hard” to ensure the budget included relief for Canadians such as new renter protections, a national school food program, and diabetes and contraception coverage, the government didn’t go far enough in other areas.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Monday his party still hasn’t decided whether it will vote in favour of the federal budget introduced last week.
The New Democrats have an agreement in place to back the governing Liberal Party on confidence and budgetary votes in exchange for movement on key policy priorities.
The agreement is set to last until June of next year, but Singh has been coy on whether he supports the Liberals’ most recent budget.
Singh expensed more than $500,000 over nine months to run his constituency office; Poilievre charged $143,201
That is so socialist.

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s path to power may be by prosecuting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s past eight years in government, but his road to victory is painted NDP orange.
Appealing to working-class voters in rural and northern ridings — like those held by New Democrats across British Columbia and Liberals in northern Ontario — is part of what Poilievre sees as a winning formula.
