PHOTOS: Jagmeet Singh rallies NDP supporters in Victoria

With local leaders at his side, the NDP leader pitched promises on affordability, health care, and housing ahead of the 2025 election

Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh made a campaign stop at Victoriaѻýs Beacon Drive In Restaurant on Saturday evening, rallying supporters and highlighting his partyѻýs core promises ahead of the 2025 election.

Singh was joined by local candidates, including Esquimalt-Saanich-Sookeѻýs Maja Tait, Saanich-Gulf Islandsѻý Colin Plant, and Victoriaѻýs Laurel Collins.

He thanked volunteers for their dedication, calling them ѻýthe energy that drives our movement.ѻý

ѻýThis election is really important,ѻý Singh told the crowd. ѻýWhat weѻýve found is that our country works best when one party doesnѻýt have all the power.ѻý

Earlier this week, Singh cast his ballot in Burnaby alongside his wife and urged Canadians to take advantage of advance voting.

In his remarks, Singh took aim at both Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and Liberal leader Mark Carney, warning that their platforms include billions in cuts that could threaten public services.

ѻýAt a time when weѻýre going through so much uncertainty, so much worry, so much anxiety ѻý is that the right thing to do?ѻý he asked. ѻýIf you want someone whoѻýs going to fight back against any government that wants to cut the things that make us Canadians, vote for New Democrats.ѻý

The NDP campaign is focusing on affordability, health care, and housing. Singh pledged to guarantee access to a family doctor by 2030, launch universal pharmacare, and introduce legislation to prevent the privatization of health services.

The party has also committed to building three million homes, implementing national rent control, and capping prices on grocery essentials such as pasta and infant formula.
