The announcement comes in the midst of national economic uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump’s ever-changing tariff policies, which many believe will cause the cost of living to skyrocket.
“There’s a storm on the horizon,” Singh said in a statement.
“When Donald Trump comes for Canada again, Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre will protect billionaires – just like they always have. And it’ll cost you. The NDP will fight so working and middle-class Canadians don’t get stuck with the bill.”
