Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh, known for his pro-Khalistan stance and allegations of Indian involvement in the killing of Hardeep Nijjar, has lost the 2025 Canadian federal election. His defeat is being seen as an opportunity for India and Canada to restore strained diplomatic and trade relations. Singh's NDP party, tipped as a 'kingmaker' in the closely-fought poll, has also been beaten and is expected to finish fourth. This resounding rejection of Singh's politics has led to his resignation as party leader.
In a shocking turn of events, Jagmeet Singh, leader of the New Democratic Party, announced his resignation after suffering a crushing defeat in the Burnaby Central riding. Despite this loss, Singh congratulated Trudeau's rival, Mark Carney, on his victory and urged Canadians to choose hope over fear. With only seven seats secured, the NDP's future as a major party in Canada now hangs in the balance.
After a crushing defeat in the federal elections, Canadian politician and New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh has announced his resignation. Not only did the NDP lose its official status due to securing less than 12 seats, but Singh also lost his own seat in Burnaby Central, British Columbia. With a history of supporting Khalistani activists, Singh's resignation comes as a relief for many, especially in India.
After a surprising and heated election in Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party emerged victorious for a rare fourth consecutive term. Pro-Khalistan leader Jagmeet Singh, who led the NDP party, also suffered a defeat in his local election and stepped down from his role. The election saw the rise of nationalism and division, with US President Trump's interference and Canada's own internal issues playing a pivotal role. Carney has promised to prioritize Canadian workers and their interests amid the ongoing trade war with the US.
In a historic statement, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as the leader of the Liberal Party, citing the need for a new leader to be chosen before the next election. This resignation comes after mounting pressure and internal conflicts within the party, leading to a call for Parliament to be prorogued until March 24. Despite support from party leaders Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh, some are calling for Canadians to put their faith in a new party, with even U.S. President-elect Donald Trump weighing in on the matter.
Jagmeet Singh's New Democratic Party has announced its withdrawal of support from Trudeau's government, leaving him reliant on opposition lawmakers to stay in power. This move has been linked to Singh's frustrations with Trudeau's handling of certain issues, particularly high prices at grocery stores, and could potentially lead to a new election if confidence votes don't go in Trudeau's favor. The next key moment will be the budget update later this year, which could be a make or break for Trudeau's government.
