NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has issued a statement condemning the 25% tariffs imposed by Donald Trump on Canadian steel and aluminum, calling the move a direct threat to thousands of Canadian jobs. Singh criticized Trump as an “economic arsonist” whose actions harm both Canada and the American economy. He emphasized the need for Canada to unite in defense of workers, calling for the country to focus on building with Canadian materials and workers.
Singh also expressed disappointment with Mark Carney, noting that he has not spoken out on supporting workers or fixing Canada’s Employment Insurance (EI) system. He highlighted the importance of federal projects using 100% Canadian steel to create jobs at home. Singh reaffirmed his commitment to protecting workers, stating that Canada’s success lies in resisting, uniting, and persisting.
