NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh confronted protesters outside the Canadian Parliament on Monday, September 16, after someone accused him of being a “corrupted bas****.” A video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows at least two protesters tailing Singh in a parking lot. One asks him whether he would support a motion of non-confidence in the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. As the NDP leader continues walking, someone within earshot calls him a “corrupted bas***.” Visibly upset, Singh turns around to approach the protesters who followed him. Pointing at each of them, he repeatedly asks, “Who said it?” After the men deny insulting him, Singh tells one of the men that he is a “coward” for not criticising him “to (his) face.” As Singh turns around, one of the protesters is heard saying, “With that aggression, is that why you’re choosing war with Russia?”
