Jagmeet Singh makes campaign stop in London, Ont. Tuesday
Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh made a visit Tuesday to what is one of the closest ridings in the Ontario election campaign.
Stopping at North London Centre — and as a former Ontario MPP — Singh questioned the crowd regarding Premier Doug Ford’s leadership.
“Did our housing crisis get any better? Our healthcare system? Long-term care? Not at all,” said Singh.
Singh was welcomed in a garden-style party at the back of the campaign office of London North Centre NDP candidate Terrance Kernaghan.
Kernaghan is seeking re-election, but is currently in a tight race with Kate Graham of the Liberal Party and Jerry Pribil of the PC Party.
During Tuesday’s event, Singh was joined by three London-area NDP candidates.
The provincial election will be held on June 2.
