NDP leadership candidate Jagmeet Singh was interrupted at a campaign event in Brampton on Wednesday by a woman who accused the Sikh MPP of having ties to Muslim extremists. (And in fact, Singh is Sikh, not Muslim, and is the first turban-wearing Sikh to sit as an MPP in Ontario.) The news website titled the video, “Is Canada ready for Jagmeet Singh?”In the video, Singh tries intermittently addressing the woman and speaking over her, before leading the crowd in a chant of “love and courage” as the woman shouts inaudibly. “You know growing up as a brown-skin, turbanned, bearded man, that I’ve faced things like this before. We can deal with it,” said Singh.”There’s going to be other obstacles that we’re going to face and we’re going to face them with love and courage.”
