Air India happened when I was about five years old but... I've attended memorials with respect to the victims and the families, the survivors of this horrible and heinous act. I've talked about how everyone denounces it.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
We've shown people that you don't have to be taken for granted. You don't have to settle for less!
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Every single day of my life is about challenging people who think you can't do something because of the way you look.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
If someone doesn't like Saudi Arabia's human rights record, that doesn't mean that you are in any way attacking Muslims. You're attacking a government's policies and track record.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
My style has allowed me to tear down barriers in day-to-day life with people who would otherwise have a negative stereotype of someone who wears a turban, but also to speak to people on Bay Street, professionals who don't really think of New Democrats as an option.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
No climate plan can leave workers and communities behind nor trample the rights of Indigenous communities. Canadians must have opportunity and income security during economic transformation.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
It's no secret that there are people who would like to narrow our discussions on climate change to a debate about pipelines alone in an attempt to divide Canadians - to pit workers against environmentalists.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
I know how important it is to have affordable and reliable access to cell and Internet services.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Let me assure you that New Democrats will support a bold agenda to tackle inequality, even though it is certain to encounter strong opposition from vested interests.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
We need to truly understand what economic injustice and inequality looks like for hard-working Canadians grappling with it every day on the ground, at home and at work.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
One of the things that I wanted to do in all aspects of my life is to tear down barriers. And, I feel those barriers exist for any racialized person. They particularly exist for people who are very visible, so a visible minority or someone who expresses their faith visibly.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Canadians are known for having a social conscience, and so our political leaders need to do more to uphold that reputation on the international stage.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
When projects like a pipeline are imposed on a province without a buy-in, without a collaborate approach, they just don't go ahead. What happens is they get caught up in court, there's court challenges, the project doesn't proceed.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Increasingly, we're seeing two worlds in Canada. The world for most Canadians is increasingly unaffordable, involves more precarious work, and is a harder place in which to get by. The second world is an exclusive club for the wealthy and well-connected who get special access and are exempt from rules the rest of us play by.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Well, the federal government has a responsibility to provide leadership in bringing together provinces.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
It takes courage to love yourself when you've been told your whole life that you're ugly, or dirty, or a terrorist.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
That's the thing about abuse - it can make the victim feel an overwhelming sense of shame, a shame so disabling that one suffers in silence.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
We need to, as a society, collectively, unequivocally denounce any time innocent lives are lost.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
If we have an agreement with a country like Mexico, that doesn't support or protect the rights of workers, that doesn't have the same environmental regulations, how can Canadians ever compete with that jurisdiction?
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
I was a little bit of a precocious kid, in the sense I loved reading, and I loved health and - my dad being a doctor - I really wanted to learn more about how the body worked.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
People shouldn't be forced to chose between paying for rent or paying for medication. They deserve a government ready to take on Big Pharma by implementing health coverage, starting by extending pharmacare coverage to every Canadian.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
There's no excuse in 2019, with the wealth we have as a nation, with the technology we have as a country, that we cannot clean this water, ensure that all communities have clean drinking water.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
I hope I represent a type of politics where we bring people together, where we inspire people - and we do it with this motivation of building a world that's better for everybody.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says nice words but he's really all about looking out for his rich and powerful friends, just like the Conservatives.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
It's heartbreaking to think that the joy of building a family is being dimmed by the economic squeeze young people are feeling.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
A beard and a turban sometimes conjure up negative associations, but if you see someone with a lime-colored, bright orange or pink turban, it disarms people's stereotyped notion of this image.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
I have been asked about terrorism many times, and each time I speak as clearly as I can.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
It's one thing to say you're feminist, but then what does that mean? Not selling arms to a regime that is the most repressive and probably one of the worst human rights violators, particularly towards women, like Saudi Arabia?
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
I believe that if we are able to, obviously we need to ensure that we have a robust budget that's balanced, but there's no way I would ever accept austerity.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Beyond advocating for greater access to consumer markets abroad, we need to go one step further and advocate for a higher quality of life for the people who are the driving force behind them.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
We need to recognize that it is growing economic inequality that creates the conditions for hate to fester.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
If the concern is security, there needs to be evidence-backed policies to increase security and safety, while maintaining our liberties and freedoms. Policies that clamp down on freedoms and don't increase security empirically need to be outright rejected.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
It's hard to love yourself when you've been told your whole life that there is something wrong with you - when you are called dirty because of your skin color.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
If you need medication in our country, we want to make sure you use your health card, not your credit card. That means a national publicly delivered single payer pharmacare for all.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Indigenous communities have suffered horribly as a result of residential schools.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Our public spaces should be places that are inclusive, that bring people together.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
The higher the stakes, the more responsible we have to be. It was with this in mind that I began to build my Green Economy and Climate Agenda.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
My dad struggled younger in his life and eventually had become very well settled and bought a nice car for himself. And every now and then I'd take it for a spin and, almost without fail, if I took his car I'd get pulled over.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Tax avoidance and evasion by the rich undermine democracy by starving social programs and public services. They also send a message to ordinary citizens that the rules of the economic game are rigged against them.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
Fighting for human rights, a commitment to social justice and treating people with dignity are all things that are important to us as Canadians.
Quote by -Jagmeet Singh
I have long been an advocate for peace and human rights in Canada and around the globe.
