'Canadians look like all sorts of people—that's the beauty of Canada,' NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said, shutting down a man's racist comments.
Jagmeet Singh, the Canadian New Democratic Party leader running to unseat Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is receiving high praise for offering the"perfect" response to racist criticism after a man approached him in Montreal and told him to"cut your turban off" to"look like a Canadian."
Putting a hand on the man's shoulder, Singh quickly shut down the racist suggestion, telling him:"I think Canadians look like all sorts of people. That's the beauty of Canada.""This is Canada. You can do whatever you like," Singh said, before walking away from the conversation. "Very classy response from [Singh]," said Berry Vrbanovic, the mayor of Kitchener, in a tweet."Canada is stronger because of our diversity. There is no place for attitudes like this in our country—we welcome & include everyone equally regardless of religion or ethnicity & must stand up against all racial intolerance," he said.on his classy response," said Patrick Brown, the mayor of Brampton."No one deserves to have their faith diminished.
"The response to the brownface situation, his reaction to this man… I know it is primarily between @JustinTrudeau vs. @AndrewScheer at the moment, but @theJagmeetSingh could be a great PM for Canada! Classy act," Salvador said.
