OTTAWA — The tribulations endured by Jagmeet Singh since becoming NDP leader could be considered misfortune when viewed in isolation. An average of all public polls has them lagging badly at around 15 per cent — where they were when Singh was elected in October. It all started so promisingly — Singh was elected as the leader who could compete head on with Trudeau on Instagram. Singh was elected because he was fun (who else could get away with a matching pink tie and turban? But that still leaves the NDP leader at the helm of a floundering, indebted, distant third party, searching for relevancy in the face of the most leftist government in a generation.
