He says he’s here to win.Sit down with Noor as she goes past the “corporate interest” talking points and grills the leader on all things NDP. Why doesn’t he have a successor? Why won’t he step down? Why is he so fancy for a lefty?Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Jagmeet SinghBackground reading:#115 Did Jagmeet Singh Miss His Big Chance? - CANADALANDGet ready for an early federal election, NDP tells candidates in an internal memo – CBC NewsJagmeet Singh's NDP is in deep trouble – National ObserverSingh says he will bring down government in March but wants to pass Trump tariff relief first – CBC NewsSponsors: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.
