Voters have elected basically the same minority parliament they had before the campaign. For the NDP, Singh is set to return to Ottawa with at least 25 MPs in his caucus, instead of the 24 the party had when the election was called. thestar.com/politics/feder…
What went wrong with the NDP? Party leader Jagmeet Singh admits he was “disappointed” Canadians didn’t elect more New Democrats. But he also said that his party ran a “great” campaign. thestar.com/politics/feder…
Singh blamed low turnout and voting difficulties for young people — with no special polling stations at universities — on Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s decision to call a snap election during the pandemic. thestar.com/politics/feder…
“The bigger problem that we’re up against, for us as a party, is that we believe that better is possible, that we can be better,” Singh said. “I think there is a lot of cynicism.” thestar.com/politics/feder… 
“I would imagine every party is disappointed. I don’t think there was a clear winner in any of this, including the Canadian public,” Matthew Green, a New Democrat who was re-elected in the riding of Hamilton Centre, told the Star on Tuesday. thestar.com/politics/feder…
Despite calling Trudeau untrustworthy, Singh said he's confident his party can wield influence over the Liberal minority government. He says his priority will be increasing taxes on the rich. Trudeau also promised this for big banks and insurance companies thestar.com/politics/feder…
Singh said Tuesday that he will also push for clean drinking water on First Nations’ reserves and more federal support for health care. thestar.com/politics/feder…
