NDP’s Jagmeet Singh walks back talk of coalition with Liberals

By The Canadian Press

VANCOUVER – NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is walking back a statement he made Sunday, suggesting he would form a coalition with the Liberals if there’s a Conservative minority government.

In Vancouver Monday, he still called for people to vote NDP to be sure they can have someone to fight for them. Singh was not so fast to talk up a coalition.

“That was not my position. My position is this: we have a number of priorities, I want Canadians to know that they can vote New Democrat – vote as many New Democrats as possible – and all the commitments that we told you about, all our priorities that we told you about, we will fight hard to make sure that they are put in place.”

Earlier in London, Ontario, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted the only party that can form a progressive government is the Liberals.
