Far-Left ‘Defund the Police’ Champion Jagmeet Singh Leads Support of Trudeau Protest Crackdown
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/22/far-left-defund-police-champion-jagmeet-singh-leads-support-trudeau-protest-crackdown/Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada’s left-wing NDP Party, emerged over the past week as a strident supporter of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented invocation of emergency powers against peaceful protests – even though he once postured as a supporter of Black Lives Matter and the “Defund the Police” movement.
Singh thundered last week that only a “failure of leadership” kept Canadian authorities from stamping out the Freedom Convoy movement, a series of peaceful protests against coronavirus mandates, long ago:
People were abandoned while governments argued over jurisdiction. People were abandoned because governments did not take the threat of this convoy seriously. And they were abandoned by the police – some of whom have stood with the occupation.
It should never have come to this.
Many people are rightfully concerned that using the Emergencies Act now, will mean a crackdown on protests in the future. This is not a protest. It is not peaceful. The organizers of this illegal occupation have been clear from the beginning. They came here to overthrow a democratically elected government.
The left is not for defund the police at all.
