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.

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

Jagmeet Singh

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

Jagmeet Singh

There is no excuse for inaction in the face of economic injustice.

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.

Jagmeet Singh

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

Jagmeet Singh

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.

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.

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.

Jagmeet Singh

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.

Jagmeet Singh

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

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.

Jagmeet Singh

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

Jagmeet Singh

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

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

Jagmeet Singh

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

Jagmeet Singh

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.

Jagmeet Singh

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.

Jagmeet Singh

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.

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.

Jagmeet Singh

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