Yeah, and I don’t think Jagmeet Singh is the leader we need to have a Bernie/Corbyn moment in Canada.
I wish Singh had stronger policy on tax evasion and wealth taxes, and him being one of 2 NDP MPs not signing the petition to stop the illegal Israeli annexation of the West Bank is disappointing to say the least.
That being said, I am very grateful for the pressure he put on Trudeau to implement a more inclusive and expansive emergency benefit program, mortgage deferrals, student aid, 10 day paid sick leave, as well as his continued pressure to get aid to Canadians with disabilities, seniors, and indigenous communities among many other things.
The NDP have been slowly moving more and more to the right, they really need to get back to their CCF roots.
