OTTAWA - Canada’s Jagmeet Singh, facing a rout of his left-wing New Democrats in next month’s election, may have revived his party’s fortunes with his emotional response to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s blackface picture.
“The kids that see this image, the people who see this image, are going to think about all the times in their life that they were made fun of, that they were hurt, that they were hit, that they were insulted, that they were made to feel less because of who they are,” he said in a three-minute video posted to social media.
Though there is little chance the NDP could win the election, the reversal of Singh’s fortunes could shape the outcome of the vote. “Trudeau’s pain is Singh’s gain,” said Shachi Kurl, executive director of Angus Reid Institute, on Twitter.On Tuesday, the Conservative Party showed it had momentum by taking a lead in three national polls, but that’s also because Singh and the Greens have taken a bite out of Liberal support.
