Global economic slowdown from tariffs starting to impact Canada, Carney says after cabinet meeting
Singh emphasizes the importance of checks and balances in government
In the midst of a heated election campaign, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is refocusing his message to highlight the importance of having a diverse representation in Parliament. Instead of solely aiming for the position of prime minister, Singh is now urging Canadians to elect more NDP MPs to ensure that no single party holds all the power.
During a press conference in Ottawa, Singh emphasized the role of the NDP in holding the government accountable and pushing for important social programs like dental care and pharmacare. He stressed that having a balance of power in government is crucial for ensuring that the needs and concerns of all Canadians are addressed.
“It’s best when no single party has complete control,” Singh stated. “By electing more NDP members, we can ensure that the government is held accountable and that important issues are not overlooked.”
When questioned about the likelihood of the Liberals winning the election, Singh remained optimistic and highlighted the significance of every vote cast. While polls may suggest a potential majority win for the Liberal Party, Singh emphasized that campaigns can shift and that individual votes can make a difference.
As the election campaign continues, Singh remains committed to advocating for a more inclusive and balanced government. While the outcome may be uncertain, Singh’s message of the importance of diverse representation in Parliament resonates with many Canadians.
