NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s Office Gets Plastered with Posters
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh became the center of controversy after his office in Burnaby, British Columbia, was plastered with posters labeling him a “traitor” and “Trudeau’s puppet.”
The incident drew widespread attention on January 4, 2025, in social media and political circles. It has sparked debates about Singh’s alliance with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government and the growing frustrations among voters.
Videos and photos circulating on social media show the exterior of Jagmeet Singh’s office covered in posters with inflammatory slogans. Some posters read “traitor,” while others accused him of being a puppet for Trudeau. The images quickly went viral, with many commenters weighing in on whether these criticisms were fair or crossed the line into personal attacks.
On platforms like YouTube, Twitter and TikTok, hashtags like #TrudeausPuppet and #JagmeetSingh started trending, with users debating whether Singh should cut ties with Trudeau or continue working within the existing framework.
The incident seems to reflect a growing discontent among Canadians who feel Singh’s support for the Liberals has undermined his own party’s principles. The crux of the issue lies in Singh’s ongoing agreement with Trudeau’s minority government, which many critics argue has come at the expense of the NDP’s independence.
Jagmeet Singh Losing Support
Tensions between the NDP and its supporters have been simmering for some time. Singh’s critics accuse him of prioritizing his alliance with the Liberals over standing up for NDP values. This sentiment is particularly strong among those who feel the NDP has failed to draw clear lines between itself and the Liberal Party on key policies.
Singh supported Trudeau’s government during critical moments, including votes that could have triggered an election. While this cooperation has prevented political instability, it has alienated some of his base, who expected the NDP to serve as a stronger opposition force.
The posters are not an isolated incident. Frustration with Singh became more pronounced recently as Trudeau faced criticism for his leadership on economic and social issues. Just days before the poster incident, a petition urging Singh to withdraw support for the Liberal government gained traction. It accused the Liberals of failing to address affordability, housing, and healthcare—issues that are supposed to be at the heart of the NDP’s platform.
In December 2024, Jagmmet Singh himself faced questions about his intentions. When asked if he would bring down Trudeau’s government, he avoided making a firm commitment. This cautious approach left many wondering if Singh would ever follow through on threats to withdraw his support or if he intended to continue propping up Trudeau indefinitely.
