  1. The most important question was how would you end the truck blockage in Ottawa? He never answered just blamed both other parties for their actions. How about the NDP its leader and leadership to resolve this, nothing, just skating besides the question. And that question should have been pressed until answered not avoided.

    1. @skate metal like that worked in Portland, Seattle, Washington,Chicago,Paris, Berlin, London, Hong Kong, etc. NOT. Truckers breathe rolled coal smoke for a living! They’re dug in for the long haul.

    1. @TheRealPVC fair share is not evading taxes and exploiting loopholes, my middle class working family pays their fair share. The rich in this country don’t, because they simply can. That’s unfair

    2. He was voted in by his east indian buddy’s how can he run our country when he wasn’t born I don’t get it

    1. He himself is not free to wear his religious symbols in Quebec so he’s not free himself. Mr Sing is a big coward.

    2. Step #1: Pass out traffic tickets to every trucker involved in the insurrection. Step #2: impound every truck that refuses to clear out of any traffic blockages. Step #3: End the mandate. I would do it in that order. If step 1 & 2 are not followed I would declare martial law, impound trucks, and turf any one who instigated trouble in jail.

  2. NDP used to be a party for the working class… Funny how they completely abandoned that motion and are 100% against the working class (the truckers) here

    1. I doubt if the NDP was ever a “party for the working class.” I say that because I personally was in that class and lived under several provincial NDP and all they ever did for me was raise taxes. What they are now is a party of opportunists, trying to see which particular cause is trendy right now and jumping on the bandwagon.

    2. @William1939  You vote NDP out of selfish reasons. Of course they raised taxes, taxes are way too low, especially on corporations and the wealthy. That forces the government to borrow their own currency back. That’s the very essence of Fascist Corporatist economic theory.

  3. Another politician you absolutely can’t trust. If you ask a politician a yes or no question, and they don’t answer with yes or no you should not trust them.

  4. We need a proper leader for Canadians and in this country of Canada. Pierre. Goodbye Trudeau your days are done.

    1. The biggest problem we have is our method of government. A study of the top Political figures and those holding CEO positions in major corporations found that most of them were sociopaths. with NO EMPATHY or understanding of the CONSEQUENCES of their actions.
      Who will take Trudeau’s place? Another sociopath?

    2. This guy isn’t it, or if he thinks he is then break the coalition with the Liberals and let’s have an election

    1. Just another corrupt incompetent pos that is still third string whiner with not one intelligent opinion. Ndp should send him packing also if they want anything other than last place. He is just more division and has no platform no hope of even being official opposition. He’s a dead duck leader

  5. Jagmeet is obviously NOT speaking for the Sikh community, considering the amount of ACTUAL Sikhs that have jointed the uprising. 🙂

  6. NDP used to be a party for the working class… Funny how they completely abandoned that motion and are 100% against the working class (the truckers) here

  7. How did we get to a place where the leader of the federal NDP – who say they’re representing the working class – has such obvious distain for the working class? He’s no Jack Layton or David Lewis that’s for sure.

    1. jack layton would have made an excellent prime minister. the only problem was he was expected to do everything himself, while dragging along a lot of excess weight.

  8. It is not the PM’s problem?…IT IS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO LEAD. Such a shame that Mr. Singh doesn’t seem to understand that the history of NDP is to uphold and defend the rights of the working class. What a SHAME.

  9. Britain, Ireland, Denmark removed all mandates. Canadians need to start asking why Canada is moving in the opposite direction.
