Adam Pankratz: Jagmeet Singh can’t see past his Maserati parking spot

Someone give this guy his pension already so we can all head to the polls

The shallowest man in Canada had quite the day on Monday when Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland launched her volley of Molotov cocktails on the way out the door. Years of hypocrisy, pandering, and spinelessness laid bare for all the world to see as now former minister Freeland apparently decided she had had quite enough of bilking Canadians and subjecting them to ludicrous policies for the sole purpose of political expediency. What will this poor man do now? I refer, of course, to Jagmeet Singh.

W. Brett Wilson pledges private funding for Singh’s pension if he calls an election already

Calgary businessman and Dragon’s Den panelist W. Brett Wilson announced he would arrange for private funding for NDP leader Jagmeet Singh if he quit propping up the Trudeau Liberals.

The proposition followed images circulating on social media of Singh getting into a $200,000 vehicle on Parliament Hill. The NDP has backed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since the 2021 election through a Supply and Confidence Agreement.

KOOP: Singh could lose NDP leadership with risky gambit

The world seems like a more dangerous and uncertain place for Canada. Incoming President Donald Trump’s threat of slapping a 25% tariff on Canadian goods has jangled nerves from sea to sea.

Are Justin Trudeau and his government up to meeting the challenges appearing on the horizon? Increasingly, the prime minister seems to be clinging to power, which is not a position of power.

Dave Gordon: Jagmeet Singh unable, or unwilling, to denounce Amsterdam pogrom

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh couldn’t quite bring himself to denounce the violence perpetrated against Israeli football fans in Amsterdam last week.

After a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. and AFC Ajax on Thursday, Israeli fans were attacked in the streets, beaten and chased by several mobs. Men on scooters crisscrossed the city looking for Israelis to attack, according to reports. Five Israelis were hospitalized.

Singh’s party support shows ‘concerning’ drop in NDP-friendly regions: poll

OTTAWA — Support for federal New Democrats in B.C. and the Prairies is dropping at a “concerning” rate for leader Jagmeet Singh, a new poll suggests, despite recent gains by his provincial counterparts in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

The Postmedia-Leger poll finds that the NDP’s popularity has dropped two per cent nationally, to 15 per cent, since the last poll on Sept. 30.

Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre are putting their parties before the country, says guy who put his pension before Canada

Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre are putting their parties before the country, Jagmeet Singh says

OTTAWA—NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has accused his political rivals of putting their electoral prospects before protecting Canada’s democracy, the day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled bombshell allegations that there are Conservatives with ties to foreign meddling.

That the prime minister dropped those revelations at a public inquiry peeling back the layers of his own Liberal government’s response to foreign interference was not lost on Singh, who said Thursday that both Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre “have, at many times, chosen to put their party before the country.”

Singh says he doesn’t understand why Poilievre won’t get top security clearance

OTTAWA – NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says it’s very disturbing that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre won’t get the top-level security clearance needed to view classified documents on foreign interference.

Singh said party leaders need to be briefed on top-secret information, noting the allegations this week that Indian agents played a role in the extortion, coercion and murder of Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.

Carson Jerema: Jagmeet Singh embraces the pro-terrorist left

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh wants you to know that he condemns “the horrific Hamas terror attacks in Israel in which 1,200 people were killed,” as he put it in a statement on Monday, the first anniversary of the October 7 massacre. But Singh also wants you to know that he doesn’t think Israel should do anything about it.

GUNTER: Why the NDP don’t want an election

Support for the NDP has now inched ahead of support for the Liberals in some polls, particularly if Quebec results are excluded.

In the rest of Canada, though, the Conservatives lead with 50% support, followed by the NDP at 22% and the Liberals at just 19%.

NDP hasn’t ruled out bringing Sarah Jama back into the party for next election

She was kicked out of the New Democrat caucus at Queen’s Park for insubordination last fall, but the party has left the door open for Hamilton Centre MPP Sarah Jama to be its candidate in next provincial election.

NDP Leader Marit Stiles confirmed Wednesday that the party’s executive is preparing an analysis on “electoral implications” involving Jama, who has been sitting as an Independent and has stated publicly she plans to seek re-election as one.

Why the stakes are the highest they’ve ever been for Jagmeet Singh: ‘The moment that makes or breaks his political career’

OTTAWA—Inside the world of Jagmeet Singh, things are looking pretty swell.

The NDP leader prematurely withdrew from his increasingly perilous alliance with Justin Trudeau’s minority Liberals — after extracting almost everything he wanted from him.

He posted a byelection result he insists proves the New Democrats are more competitive than any other party.

NDP urges government to recognize Palestinian statehood, sanction Israeli officials

OTTAWA – The NDP is urging the Liberals to recognize Palestinian statehood, warning that a Conservative government would not protect international law in the Middle East.

NDP foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson is accusing the Trudeau government of lacking courage to advance its stated goal of helping a two-state solution, where Israel and a Palestinian country exist peacefully.

McPherson is calling for Canada to sanction far-right ministers in Israel who have suggested it would be justified to starve Palestinians and that some communities should be annihilated.

Carson Jerema: The Trudeau-Singh coalition lives

Under Jagmeet Singh, New Democrats have never been more obsolete, or more unnecessary. They’ve been outflanked on the left by Justin Trudeau’s cartoonishly progressive government, while Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives have persuaded workers and young people to join their side, leaving Singh to sound ever more ridiculous, as he talks like his ascension to the prime minister’s office is all but imminent.

They lied. It never ended.

WARMINGTON: Jagmeet Singh blaming Pierre Poilievre for protester comment spin of the week

Instead of owning up to his own overreaction to benign protesters at Parliament Hill, Jagmeet Singh is now trying to dump it on political opponents who had nothing to do with it.
That whole spectacle was created by Singh and Singh alone.

But now suddenly Pierre Poilievre is to blame for Jagmeet Singh’s bizarre square-off with protesters in Ottawa?

Trudeau government says it won’t delay possible confidence votes as Poilievre’s Conservatives hanker for election

OTTAWA—The Liberal government says it will not use delay tactics to avoid a parliamentary vote that could trigger an election this fall as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre goaded other opposition party leaders to help him immediately topple the Trudeau government.

House Leader Karina Gould said the government does not intend to play games to stave off until late fall any “non-confidence” motion the Opposition parties might bring forward nor does it intend to formally suspend, or prorogue, Parliament in order to buy time.
