The leader of Canada’s National Democratic Party (NDP) Jagmeet Singh, the first person of a visible minority group to lead a Canadian federal political party, and his party has kicked off the party’s poll campaign for the British Columbia’s Burnaby South byelection and the 43rd Canadian federal polls.

The NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh addressed his party workers gathered from across the country in the capital Ottawa last week. Alleging that a large number of Canadians were distressed and felt that they had voted for something else (Liberals) the stylish ‘poster boy’ of Canadian magazines and publications, Jagmeet said Canadians did not get what they had voted for and that they deserved something better (NDP). All eyes are on Jagmeet and whether he manages to win the byelection or not? If he manages to put up a good show, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was expected to lose his voters with left leanings and even his government. In any case, Jagmeet Singh or Jimmy Dhaliwal holds the key whether Trudeau will stage his comeback or not.
