“He hasn’t lived the experiences that people face,” says Singh.
NDP Leader and committed virtue-signaller Jagmeet Singh – currently struggling in the polls and facing questions about his leadership abilities – appears to be setting a distinction between “sympathy” and “empathy” as he seeks to differentiate himself from Justin Trudeau.
When asked what makes him different than Trudeau, Singh said Trudeau lacked empathy and doesn’t understand the experiences that people face.
Watch Singh’s comments below:
Jagmeet Singh on what differentiates him as a leader vs. Justin Trudeau: “I think he talks about sympathy but he doesn’t have the same empathy. He hasn’t lived the experiences that people face…”

Singh’s criticism of Trudeau is similar to points made by the Conservatives, as many have pointed out that Trudeau’s elitist upbringing makes him unable to understand middle class Canadians.
However, Singh may be able to talk about empathy, but his policies would expand the power and size of centralized government, and his massive tax hikes would make life even more unaffordable for millions of low-income and middle class Canadians. In that way, he’s just like Trudeau – with even more virtue-signalling.
So, what Singh really lacks – and what he shows no interest in acquiring – is common sense.
Canada doesn’t need another virtue-signalling ‘leader’ trying to fix everything through tax increases. After all, empathy and sympathy don’t mean anything if they accompany destructive policies.
We need lower taxes, smaller government, and policies that put our national interests ahead of empty politically correct rhetoric.

My guess is he’ll fail on every count.
But the next question is … What other party is any better??
We are a civilization in rapid decline….and the question to ask is which party is the worst.?
If you, Joe Berger ,do not know which party is the worst, You have work to do and thoughts to think: Liberals are not Liberal and are ” dead men walking”, attracted by the Carnival lights illuminating an imaginary leader. Such Dear Leader has expressed clearly that he has plans to replace the Canadian society, as he found it. Also ,to buy international brownie points,he will take your old and worn -out wallet, full of years of savings , and give you, in exchange ,a brand-new one, designer conceived , empty and bought with borrowed money that your children will… Read more »
