NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says Justin Trudeau is waging a war against the working class and he plans to leverage his party's agreement with the Liberals to protect working people.
Singh addressed his caucus on Wednesday in a speech that heavily focused on the struggles faced by everyday Canadians and touched on the party's traditional values such as strengthening unions and defending public health care."Workers are the backbone of this country and they deserve respect," Singh said. "If you work a job in this country, you shouldn't go hungry."
"You can't even find cold medicine for your children. Right now it feels like this war against workers," he said. "We're going to push every day for action to bring down inflation, to protect the environment and fix and expand universal public Canadian health care," Singh said.Last March, the New Democrats signed a supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals, in which the NDP agreed to support the minority government in key votes until 2025.
