In a democracy you have the right to say no

[MrTiburon]

wonder why nobody is talking about the fact we dont have freedom of speech in Canada

[AbdulJabbar]

2:10 Can't get the BQ MP on air? WHY? Why won't he come and defend himself the way Jagmeet is doing?

[delirium]

Even the speaker was surprised that someone denied the motion.

[stewartgillis]

His refusal to apologize shows an immaturity which does not befit the leader of a Canadian National political party, in my opinion.

Don't feel bad Singh the block hates every one that's not French.

After jagmeet singh became the NDP leader NDP lost 15 of its 16 seats in Quebec during the last federal election mostly to PQ. Every body knows that quebecers stopped to vote NDP because Mr singh is a sikh. If there is no racism in Quebec why the religion of a party leader is a problem?

I hope he never looses his passion. If he does then that means the government is corrupt.

Mr. Singh, stop fueling a problem to pave the way to your political advantage ! Canada has managed to solve bigger problems and continues to solve more everyday.

[DarkSuSue]

Why should he apologize for speaking the truth. I hope he calls more of them out.

[smithmcsmith]

I love Jagmeet. He knows what's up

[galileomoment]

Disgraceful, inappropriate, and divisive.

[jaybalvin]

Finally a politician with backbone and guts to call out racism, I commend Jagmeet Singh. Regards, Jay Balvin

[abdallahahmed]

Condolences to the family and victims of this tragic incident.

[stephss]

Why should he? I applaud him for calling them out. This is what taking action towards racism looks like.

[grbhdbfyh]

Can the conversation be around racist acts instead of naming someone as "a racist" or not? By not supporting the act means you are supporting systemic racism to continue. It is an act of racism. This conversation is too much about someone being racist or not.

The Frank’s and Karen’s in the comment section. Y’all be careful ✊✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

[annonymeandfish]

“No member of the bloc would come to explain” are you serious? They explained it already. We just asked a comity to investigate, we can’t dictate a conclusion.

[thegreatnormad]

Canada's racism is depicted in street names and Cities, nothing to apologize. If nothing changes Minneapolis scenario is in the horizon

[nlpchannel]

Why did they refuse to support systemic racism? What is the BLOC really saying? The distraction is to get the FIGHT GOING about something completely different.
