Singh vows to fight for people even if there’s a ‘Groundhog Day’ minority government

BURNABY, B.C. — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh made a final push for votes in British Columbia by saying his party will fight for people no matter what happens during Monday’s election. 

The New Democrats remain on the offensive during a busy final day in the Lower Mainland, visiting ridings held by Liberals and Conservatives that the party is hoping to swing orange.

The latest opinion polling shows another minority government seems likely, but Singh remained steadfast he is running to be prime minister. 

Singh says that even if the election ultimately results in another minority government, the NDP will fight for people whether “it feels like Groundhog Day or not.”

When asked what the key issue would be for Singh to support another party in a minority parliament, he responded he’s focused on making sure billionaires pay their fair share when it comes to the cost of the COVID-19 pandemic.
