As voting day approaches in Canada, the New Democratic Party (NDP) is grappling with fluctuations in election polls. According to a three-day tracking survey conducted by Nano Research up to April 17, support for the NDP under Jagmeet Singh has dropped by 0.5 percentage points, reaching 8 percent.

The competition between the Liberals and Conservatives remains intense. While campaigning in Yamachiche, Quebec, Jagmeet Singh criticized both parties. Speaking to reporters, he emphasized that the NDP is the only party prioritizing real growth in revenue and investment in Canadians, in contrast to other parties, which he accused of intending to cut essential services.

Jagmeet Singh is contesting the election from Burnaby Central. He faces three opponents: Wade Chang of the Liberal Party, James Yan of the Conservative Party, and Richard Farbridge of the People’s Party of Canada.
