#10: NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh Youth, Politics, Action!

In this episode, our Chief of Podcast Development Krystal Chan speaks with Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, who has led the New Democrats since 2017 and represents the riding of Burnaby South in the House of Commons. Jagmeet was born in Scarborough and started his career as a criminal defence lawyer before being elected to represent the Toronto-area riding of Bramalea-Gore-Malton in the Ontario legislature. Listen in to hear Krystal speak with Jagmeet about his career and political experiences as the first visible minority to permanently lead a major political party in Canada, the federal NDP, his vision for Canada and government, and his advice for all of the politically-avid youth who want to follow in his footsteps.
