    I expect Jagmeet to be out as leader after the NDP get set back in this election, but the NDP have never been more effective in getting policies passed than they were in the last few years with him propping up the Liberal minority. Those accomplishments will leave a lasting mark on the country.

      I don’t think that’s a function of Singh, though. More that the LPC wanted their policies through safely and that supporting NDP policies was preferable to the government getting derailed by the CPC.

        Anything to throw Singh under the bus when he provided real results for canadians…

          Mm, yeah, I’ll just go and deify every party leader in those parties that prop up European governments. Singh didn’t do anything more than what a minority government encourages. He’s not special, he’s just some guy. Just like the rest of those cunts in parliament. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that some NDP policy got through. But I don’t believe it’s wise to put any politician up on a pedestal in any situation.
