Jagmeet Singh is a Canadian politician and the current leader of the federal New Democratic Party. Born in Scarborough, Ontario to immigrant parents from India, Singh has become a rising star in Canadian politics for his charismatic personality and progressive ideas.
After obtaining a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, Singh worked as a criminal defense lawyer before entering politics. He became a member of the Ontario Legislature in 2011 and quickly made a name for himself as a champion for human rights and social justice. In 2017, Singh decided to run for the leadership of the federal New Democratic Party, and despite facing entrenched party members, he won the leadership race with an overwhelming majority.
Since becoming the leader of the NDP, Singh has focused on issues such as income inequality, affordable housing, and indigenous rights. He has also gained attention for his outspoken support for minority groups and his unapologetic stance against racism and discrimination. Many Canadians see Singh as a refreshing and dynamic politician who brings a much-needed diversity to the country’s political landscape.
Singh’s popularity has only continued to grow, and he has been compared to other inspiring leaders like Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau. As the federal election approaches, all eyes are on Singh and the NDP, as they continue to gain ground and challenge the traditional dominance of the Liberal and Conservative
