Mr. Deny, Mr. Delay, Have You Met Mr. Debacle?

You know ...




NDP federal leader Jagmeet Singh -

(Sidebar: this Jagmeet Singh.)

- will not intervene on Bill 21, the controversial bill in Quebec that forbids public servants from wearing outward signs of their religiosity:

Singh has said that his mere presence in Quebec as a man with “a beard and a turban” is a form of opposition against the bill. And he reiterated this on Thursday, saying “I do not want to intervene.”

He continued that he wants to fight against division. “I’m against discrimination,” Singh said. “I know a lot of people face discrimination in their lives. It’s wholly unacceptable, but I want people to get to know me in Quebec and all across the country.”

How interesting: 

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said today that, if he's elected prime minister, he'd have to get involved in Quebec's controversial secularism law if it makes it all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Anything for power, eh, Jag?:

"So I made it really clear, our six priorities — and that includes making sure we work on the environment, making sure that we tackle the environmental crisis — that's something that's really important to me and that means reducing our emissions and ending fossil fuel subsidies," Singh said. "So that's going to be, absolutely, a part of our serious discussions we're going to have in order for us to move ahead with anyone. What we made really clear is, the environment's a priority. I am opposed to the Trans Mountain pipeline and I made that very clear...

"The owning is something that they have right now and I want to work on ensuring that we are as responsible as possible with moving forward with an asset that I would not have bought," he said. "Moving forward, I can say I'm very much opposed to the expansion and I've been very clear on that and I continue to be clear on that."
