FATAH: Could the NDP succeed where the Conservatives have failed?

Is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau living the last of his seven lives? He can wear ‘Blackface’ and get away scot-free; declare his admiration for China’s dictatorship and get re-elected; and embarrass himself on the India file and get away with it all. This leaves the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh to be in a position where he could bring down the Liberal minority government once we are over the vaccine runaround and go for the big prize in Ottawa. Almost 35 years ago when I arrived in Canada, one of my first acts was to look up and join the NDP after watching a documentary on Tommy Douglas. Over the years it has been Ed Broadbent, Bob Rae, Audrey McLaughlin, Alexa McDonough, Roy Romanow, Ujjal Dosanjh and Jack Layton keeping the fire burning.
