QUEBEC — A well-known left-wing activist has pleaded not guilty to a charge of obstructing justice and one of impersonation that was filed after he identified himself as former NHL star Michel Goulet. Jaggi Singh was arrested at a Quebec City demonstration on Aug. 20 and then released. The 46-year-old Singh was rearrested Tuesday and entered the plea in municipal court in Quebec City this morning. In a statement today, a group supporting Singh says the impersonation charge is related to Singh jokingly telling police on Aug. 20 his name was Michel Goulet, the ex-Quebec Nordiques left-winger. Quebec City police say two distinct groups took part in demonstrations that day and that a third group was involved in another protest, which was declared illegal and broken up by the anti-riot squad.
