Leader of the federal NDP, Jagmeet Singh, is not just a straight man to comedian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a co-leader of the unholy alliance that is now governing Canada, he’s a crybaby and a fraud who plays the race card with reckless abandon..Unfortunately the Canadian media does it too. .Singh was confronted with some pretty angry protesters in Peterborough, Ontario last week while he was visiting to support a local provincial party candidate. The crowd called him “a traitor” and “a liar.”.Singh apparently didn’t take the criticism constructively but took to Twitter to suggest the incident was motivated by unthinking hate. .“When hate is given space to grow, it spreads like wildfire.”.He stopped short of calling the protest a racist act but his inference is obvious..The media did not exercise such restraint..The Calgary Sun in particular suggested the protest was racially motivated..“Perhaps he was mindful of a recent story in the Peterborough Examiner noting the city in 2020, ‘had the highest rate per capita of police-reported hate crimes of all census metropolitan areas in the country … according to new data from Statistics Canada, with local rates far outstripping those of big cities such as Toronto and Montreal.’”.The Sun praised Singh for trying “to de-escalate political tensions, correctly noting ‘polarization and disinformation are real dangers to our society.’”.How nice when a nominally conservative-minded newspaper declares polarization and disinformation are the dangers to society when it should know that people like Singh who promote uniformity and censorship are the real dangers to society..Clearly the protesters in Peterborough were not there because they objected to Singh’s race or religion. They were obviously unhappy with the NDP leader’s decision to climb into political bed with Justin Trudeau and sustain a corrupt and febrile Liberal government for three years. They clearly see Singh as nothing but a puppet of the Trudeau government and that is the message that they were giving him..So is it now unacceptable to criticize Singh because of his ethnicity and religion? This is how ridiculous the political debate has become in Canada..And the media has become so adept and so used to regurgitating Trudeau’s talking points that it doesn’t even see the absurdity of its own editorials. When a Canadian daily newspaper decides that disinformation is a major problem in Canadian society, it can no longer assess that it has become a major problem in Canadian society..Ironically, there was no disinformation presented in Peterborough. Many of those protesters might have been NDP voters who felt disenfranchised by Singh’s decision to support Trudeau. In their view, he is a traitor for doing so. .Singh has done much to alienate his base. He demanded the military be used to force the COVID-19 vaccination on Canadians. He eagerly supported Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, something that was clearly not welcomed by much of his caucus. You just had to listen to their tepid speeches in the House of Commons to see that. But Singh surged forward, even though, as we have pointed out many times before, that there was no crisis in Canada that remotely demanded such an draconian response. .The NDP leader has demonstrated his authoritarian impulses time and time again; he is eager to ban opposition and censor anything he brands as disinformation..When Ernest Bevin, the foreign secretary with Clement Atlee’s Labour government, met Vyacheslav Mikhaylovich Molotov, Stalin’s foreign minister, he noted the Bolshevik’s perfectly manicured hands that appeared to have avoided any manual labour. Bevin, had been a trade union leader and had worked hard since a boy and immediately dismissed Molotov as a fraud with no connection or empathy for the working class. .George Orwell used to call academics who never had to rub shoulders with blue collar workers as “parlour Bolsheviks.” My professor friend at Carleton University, Tom Darby, called them “Jacuzzi Marxists.”.I don’t know how left-wing Singh’s politics really are, but he is certainly a socialist who has nothing but contempt for the working class he pretends to represent. If he didn’t, he might have considered that protest as a warning of what’s coming for him in the next federal election. He’s out of touch, has no time for these contemptible people who have to work hard at difficult jobs and has spent his entire life as a privileged elite, much like Trudeau. .The NDP leader, like Trudeau, is too quick to dismiss his critics as “right-wing extremists,” as he described anyone who objected to getting the vax. He wants to ban symbols of hate even though that could mean airbrushing or deodorizing history as Singh sees fit. Like Trudeau, he can’t accept criticism and immediately suggests opposition is rooted in “hate” or “disinformation.”.These are toxic characteristics for a politician. The irony is that Trudeau and Singh, by smearing blue collar workers in the Freedom Convoy as white supremacists and pushing an increasingly radical social agenda are alienating their political base..Immigrants are seeing in Trudeau and Singh the kind of politicians they fled from. Workers know Trudeau and Singh would cross the street before shaking hands with them. It’s Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre (CPC-Carleton) who is appealing to these groups through common sense ideology that transcends class and ethnicity. .The mainstream media — in the pay of the Trudeau government — just can’t stop confirming the delusions of Trudeau and Singh. And that’s the real tragedy here.
