  1. This fellow has no business pretending to represent the Rail workers or any workers for that matter!!!

    1. He usually does though. The NDP gets most of it’s money from unions, which it then makes special government actions to benefit. The tax payer, and average citizen loses. The union worker tends to remain the same. The union bosses make tons of money.

  2. This hypocrite should just pack it in. Nobody is voting for you dude. Nobody cares what you have to say about worker rights when you supported the emergency act.

  3. No one listens to Fakes nice try Mr Singh what is your name today. What last name does your child Have???

  4. So it’s ok that workers can strike a private company but when truckers protest for lost freedoms you help legislate the Emergency Act. Seems fair too me not. Truckers were fighting for their jobs too but you didn’t care.

    1. The trucker convoy was petty and destabilizing. You want to see a real convoy with a real issue. Check out the taxi drivers from Spain, traveling thousands of miles to get refugees out of Ukraine and to safety. That’s what I call a noble convoy and maybe Canadians can learn a lesson from this.

    1. Yeah when you vote NDP your voting Liberals. Jagmeet will continue to support Trudeau behind closed doors, you can count on it.

  5. This fellow has no business pretending to represent the Rail workers or any workers for that matter!!!

  6. Speaking about “cavalier attitudes” maybe he should have thought about that before supporting the “emergency’s act”.

  7. This guy is quite possibly the biggest joke of a party leader in Canadian history.

  8. Yet there you were holding Trudeau’s hand with the implementation of the emergency act. The irony of it all Jagmeet you need to decide what you and your party stand for, otherwise you have no credibility. Where is Skippy your side kick?

  9. Like how Justin trudeau undermined Canadian citizens who protested against his mandates by envoking the emergencies act unconstitutionally

  10. He was pretty quick to support the government to shut down peaceful protests. How is this any different.

  11. It hurts that we haven’t gotten any raise from our employer, but it would hurt A LOT MORE without our GREAT GIFT OF A JOB!!!!!!
