Jagmeet Singh Pushes for Emergency Recall of Parliament Amid U.S. Tariffs

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is making waves again, calling for an urgent recall of Parliament to address the serious impact of new U.S. tariffs on Canadian workers. With many jobs and livelihoods at stake, Singh is pushing the government to act fast, demanding immediate financial support for those affected. He’s also proposing a bold "Build Canadian, Buy Canadian" strategy to strengthen domestic job creation.

This move puts significant pressure on the Liberal minority government. If Parliament is recalled, it will trigger a new speech from the throne, which automatically leads to a confidence vote. That means the Liberals will need enough support from other parties—including the NDP—to stay in power. However, Singh has remained tight-lipped about just how far his party is willing to go to keep the government afloat.

The bigger issue here is the growing tension with the United States. These sweeping tariffs could have serious consequences for Canadian industries, and Singh is making it clear that Ottawa needs to respond with urgency. He’s calling for direct relief measures for workers and industries hit hardest, but also for long-term solutions to make Canada less dependent on foreign trade policies.

What’s interesting is that while Singh is leading the charge on this, it’s also a major political moment for the NDP. By taking a strong stance on protecting Canadian jobs, Singh is positioning himself as a fighter for the working class—something that could play well with voters in the next election. But at the same time, his party’s relationship with the Liberals remains uncertain. Will the NDP continue supporting the minority government, or could this issue be the tipping point that forces an early election?

One thing is clear: the coming weeks are going to be crucial. If Parliament is recalled, all eyes will be on the debates, the confidence vote, and whether Singh’s push for stronger economic protections will turn into real action.
