Jagmeet Singh says Toronto byelection shows voters are ‘done with Trudeau,’ doesn’t address NDP drop
In 2021, the federal NDP got 16.8 per cent of the vote in the riding. But during Monday’s byelection, the party garnered only 10.9 per cent of the vote
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.
Singh was in Toronto on Thursday to highlight the expansion of the Canadian Dental Care Plan, which will now cover children under the age of 18 and people with disabilities. The program is a core component of the NDP’s supply-and-confidence deal with the Liberals.
Jack’s Note: I don’t know why anyone gives this man any credit at all after him supporting Trudeau all these years. This stupid SOB is just as bad as Trudeau and just as responsible for what has happened to this country as the Libs are. He and his party need to be fired just like the Libs.
