Trudeau vs. Singh Is Next Battle for Hearts of Canada’s Left

Corrected
  • New Democrat leader also has mass appeal, penchant for selfies
  • Singh vows new social programs paid for by taxes or deficits

Justin Trudeau swept to power in Canada as a fresh face pledging to tax the rich and help the masses. Now a rival has picked up his playbook.

Halfway through his mandate, Trudeau’s two main challengers are in place for the 2019 election, each younger than he is. To the political right is Conservative Andrew Scheer, Trudeau’s closest competitor in popular support and number of current lawmakers. But it’s the man on the left who could determine the fate of Trudeau’s Liberals.
