Most Canadians see this as a race between Poilievre and Carney, but Singh still runs to be PM
Mar 30, 2025
I'm wondering if you could today tell us what success looks like politically in your campaign. I know you're probably going to give me a policy answer, but I'm really looking for what does success look like for you politically? Are you still running to be Prime Minister? ... Mr. Singh, a lot of Canadians don't see you as being the next Prime Minister. They see this as a race between the Conservatives and the Liberals? What do you want to tell those voters?

I want the folks of Ottawa center to
1:06

1:09
you're going to be better served if a
1:11
new democrat is fighting for you for
1:12
yeah so yeah I'm running to become Prime
1:14
Minister because I want a prime minister
1:16
that actually fights for workingclass
1:17
folks that fights for everyday families
1:19
that fights for the middle class every
1:20
single day in office and that's going to
1:22
be me and my
1:24
team okay uh just just my second
1:26
question here Mr sing a lot of Canadians
1:29
don't see see you as being the next
1:31
prime minister they see this as a race
1:34
between the
1:35
conservatives and the
1:37
Liberals what do you want to tell those
1:40
voters what is your message to them
1:42
especially maybe voters who might not
1:44
want to see another majority government
1:46
whether it's conservative whether it's
1:48
liberal what's your message to those
1:50
voters especially those voters who maybe
1:52
are concerned about a potential
1:54
conservative government maybe voters in
1:55
a writing like otta a
1:57
center vote new democrat that's my
2:00
message to you vote new democrat and you
2:03
better off when you vote new democrat
2:05
and we can show you you sent 25 of us to
2:08
Ottawa I'm honored by that I thank you
2:10
for that and what did you get in return
2:13
millions of people got Dental Care
2:15
millions of people are going to have
2:17
their medication covered millions of
2:19
people's lives are going to be
2:20
concretely better off because you voted
2:22
for new Democrats so I would say if you
2:25
want someone there in Ottawa fighting
2:26
for you that's only going to fight for
2:28
you and your family that's got a clear
2:30
sense of convictions around who they're
2:32
in it for that's us that's new Democrats
2:35
so wherever you live if you want someone
2:36
that's going to fight for you truly
2:37
fight for you send a new democrat to
2:39
fight for you and see the difference
2:41
it's going to make in your life and the
2:42
life of Canadians we have seen that
2:44
already I encourage you to do that again
2:46
Dua isri Global News hi Mr Singh uh Mr
2:50
Carney after his phone call with Trump
2:52
said Canada would negotiate a new
2:54
security and economic agreement after
2:57
the election uh do you think it's
2:59
appropriate for Mr Carney to be making
3:01
postelection
3:03
plans well again when it comes to and
3:05
I've said this a couple times when it
3:07
comes to take fighting back against
3:09
Donald Trump I'm on a team candidate
3:10
approach I want us to be United that no
3:13
matter what the makeup of parliament we
3:15
all should stand together to fight back
3:17
against Donald Trump in a United Way and
3:19
whatever the results are Donald Trump
3:22
should know that all Canadian leaders
3:24
want us to be free and independent and
3:27
proud of who we are and that we're ready
3:29
to fight back I am concerned though that
3:31
Donald Trump negotiated the last
3:33
agreement himself signed it and now is
3:35
ignoring it and think it shows you that
3:37
we've got to actually take a different
3:38
approach to Donald Trump we have to show
3:40
strength uh we should say listen there's
3:43
no reason to renegotiate something when
3:45
the date of expiry isn't for another
3:47
year uh and so I I would think we've got
3:49
to show strength we got to fight back
3:50
and that's what new Democrats are
3:52
proposing um Mr POV headed to British
3:56
Columbia before you did uh I know you're
3:59
heading there later but you're you're
4:00
facing more competition from both the
4:03
conservatives and the Liberals in your
4:05
home Province what is your strategy to
4:07
deal with that again just to let
4:09
Canadians know what's at stake of this
4:11
election we've got a very important
4:13
election uh probably one of the most
4:15
important in our lives and we got real
4:17
serious challenges up against Canadians
4:19
up against our country and in those
4:22
challenges I ask you who do you really
4:24
want there in Ottawa fighting for you do
4:27
you want someone that has shown you that
4:29
their priority is millionaires not
4:31
workingclass folks not everyday folks
4:33
that's Mark Carney he's shown that with
4:35
his tax cuts for Millionaires and said
4:37
that GSD relief was a bad idea do you
4:40
want someone like Pier POV who will cut
4:42
the things that you hold deer and it'll
4:44
cost you more he wants to cut Health
4:47
Care cut pensions cut the things that
4:49
you need it's going to cost you more all
4:51
to give big tax breaks to his
4:53
billionaire buddies or do you want new
4:54
Democrats folks are going to fight for
4:56
you and your family fight to defend our
4:58
Healthcare and make it strong stronger
5:00
make it better fight to defend our
5:01
pensions and make them better fight to
5:03
bring down the cost of groceries like
5:05
we're talking about today with the price
5:07
cap I think the choice is clear new
5:09
Democrats have your back if you want
5:10
someone that's got your back vote for a
5:12
new democrat
