VANCOUVER–Descending the steps of his campaign bus in front of a downtown Vancouver hotel, Jagmeet Singh was a welcome sight for Nym Calvez and her colleagues. Calvez was among the crowd of striking hotel workers outside the Westin Bayshore on Monday afternoon — some of whom chanted “Jagmeet! “It’s a big deal.”Calvez cleans hotel rooms at the Pinnacle Harbourfront hotel, one of four downtown hotels affected by the strike. About 1,200 hotel workers walked off the job four weeks ago.
