I have long been an advocate for peace and human rights in Canada and around the globe.

We have to fight climate change like we actually want to win.

Fighting for human rights, a commitment to social justice and treating people with dignity are all things that are important to us as Canadians.

Men Wit Us

Oh, I think Canadians look like all sorts of people. That's the beauty of Canada.

Jagmeet Singh

Think Thin T

As Canadians who proudly demand the equal treatment of minorities, religious freedom, gender equality and basic human rights for its citizens - allowing our political leaders to shamefully ignore these values in the name of business abroad, falls short of the high standard we rightfully set for ourselves.

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.

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.

The ability to become more accessible, to spread a message further, and to share stories at a faster rate are great things to come from social media. As politicians, we have another platform with which we can reach people but also listen to them.

Communities and workers should be partners at the table, not waiting on the sidelines while government and the fossil fuel industry dictate climate policy.

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.

Inequality is on the rise in Canada and those at the top have no idea what life is like for most Canadian families.

Why is it that we ask the question about whether or not Indigenous people should have clean drinking water? We've got to take a minute and think why is that even a question. Yes, they deserve clean drinking water.

Jagmeet Singh

Yes Why Whether

I believe that the federal government has significant constitutional powers, but I don't think it's effective to impose pipelines on communities.

Instead of just talking about the fact that women should be equal, let's put legislation that enforces pay equity.

Sikhs were considered the champions of fairness, uplifting people, protecting and defending human rights. Defending equality. So when someone sees a Sikh, the turban identifies a person who's going to stand up for rights, even if you disagree with them. The turban is supposed to be a beacon. That someone who is going to help you out.

We're going to fight a Conservative government, we're going to fight it all the way. We're ready to do whatever it takes.

There is an ancient tradition of how to tie the topknot that gets passed down from parent to child. In my case, my mom taught me it. So this is a tradition, and not all Sikhs know it actually.

It takes courage to love yourself when you've been told your whole life that you're ugly, or dirty, or a terrorist.

We need to recognize that it is growing economic inequality that creates the conditions for hate to fester.

Jagmeet Singh

Equality Wing Win

The same way I'm not afraid of calling out systemic discrimination, I'm also not afraid of calling out inequality and the fact that inequality is growing in society and that affects everybody, regardless of race.

Jagmeet Singh

We must again be the party that inspires Canadians, that makes their hearts beat faster.

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.

Jagmeet Singh

I've never been afraid of taking on issues.

Jagmeet Singh

I feel like this idea of strategic voting has not allowed people to dream big.

Jagmeet Singh

Our public spaces should be places that are inclusive, that bring people together.

Jagmeet Singh

I don't work for the rich and powerful. I work for people!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jagmeet Singh

I have been asked about terrorism many times, and each time I speak as clearly as I can.

Jagmeet Singh

Indigenous communities have suffered horribly as a result of residential schools.

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.

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?

Jagmeet Singh

We need to, as a society, collectively, unequivocally denounce any time innocent lives are lost.

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?

Jagmeet Singh

In difficult economic times, I'm firmly opposed to austerity.

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.

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.

Jagmeet Singh

Well, the federal government has a responsibility to provide leadership in bringing together provinces.

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.

Jagmeet Singh

I want to become prime minister.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
