Jagmeet Singh Childish Debate: Interruptions, Hypocrisy, and a Climate Crusade Detached from Reality

He talks about betrayal—but he’s been propping up Trudeau for years. Now he wants to be taken seriously? Give us a break.

Jagmeet Singh stormed into the 2025 leaders’ debate like a man with something to prove. And by the end, he’d proven it: he’s not ready for leadership. Not now. Not ever.

Instead of rising to the occasion, Singh derailed the discussion, interrupted his opponents repeatedly, and turned nearly every answer into a climate sermon. His approach was so erratic that no one even shook his hand when the cameras cut. And honestly? You could feel why.

This wasn’t conviction. It was desperation.

Let’s talk about what really happened on that stage—and why Singh’s performance is the final straw for voters who’ve seen through his act.

He Interrupted Everyone—and Still Said Nothing

If there was one thing consistent about Singh during the debate, it was this:

He couldn’t stop cutting people off.

Time after time, when Carney or Poilievre tried to finish a thought, Singh jumped in—sometimes yelling over them, sometimes accusing them of “betraying Canadians,” and always hijacking the conversation.

“You’re betraying working people.”

“You don’t care about the climate.”

“This is about people, not profits.”

All while offering no concrete plans of his own. Even the moderator struggled to control him, visibly frustrated with his lack of respect for the debate format. Viewers noticed too, with headlines calling him the “Interruptor-in-Chief” and social media calling out his behaviour as “juvenile.”

His Climate Crusade Ignores Reality

Singh’s most repeated talking point?

“We are living in a climate crisis. That is the number one issue.” No, it’s not.

He also stated, “You speak to any young person and they’re worried about the climate crisis.”

Canadians are living through:

• A housing collapse
• Skyrocketing inflation
• An energy affordability crisis
• And a crippling national debt

Of course the environment matters—but Singh’s refusal to even acknowledge the importance of domestic energy production, or the economic lifeline it provides, shows just how out of touch the NDP has become.

Singh scoffed at pipelines. Mocked oil. Called out subsidies for fossil fuels—but failed to explain how Canada will pay for anything without its number one export. And here’s the kicker:

Selling oil to countries who refine it elsewhere doesn’t reduce emissions—it just moves them off Canada’s books. It’s fake math for real headlines.

They NDP keeps trying to sell you the “fairytale” of clean oil, says Blanchet.

Singh Talks Tough—But He Was Trudeau’s Enabler

For years, Singh has painted himself as the moral opposition to Trudeau.

He tweets about holding the Liberals accountable. He talks about broken promises. He says he’s fighting for working people.

But here’s what he’s actually done:

• Supported Trudeau in over 50 confidence votes
• Propped up the Liberals through scandals like WE Charity, foreign interference, and carbon tax hikes
• Extended the Liberal government’s life span when he could have brought it down and triggered an election

“If Trudeau fails, we’ll withdraw our support.” — Singh, every year since 2019

Spoiler: He never did.

Singh didn’t stand up to Trudeau. He stood behind him—then blamed him for everything he allowed.

It’s political cowardice disguised as principle.

What Has Singh Done For Canadians?

Let’s take stock.

Singh became NDP leader in 2017. In that time:

• The NDP lost seats in two consecutive elections
• They failed to form a national policy identity beyond “we care more than them”
• Singh became more well-known for TikToks and selfies than legislation

Ask the average Canadian, “What law has Singh passed?” “What crisis has he solved?” “What movement has he led that changed the country?”

Most can’t name one. And that’s the problem. For all the theatrics, there’s no legacy. Just noise.

The Faultline Take

Jagmeet Singh walked into the debate swinging. He left with nothing.

He talked about betrayal while covering for a government that betrayed Canadians. He shouted over everyone while saying nothing new. He turned policy questions into climate sermons, ignoring the economic pain of millions.

This was supposed to be his breakout moment. Instead, he reminded the country why he’s stuck at 18% in the polls—all talk, no record.

And when the stage lights went down, no one reached out to shake his hand. Even his opponents had seen enough.

If the NDP wants to survive past 2025, it needs to ask itself:

Is Singh here to lead—or just to campaign?

Because Canadians are tired of performers. They want someone who builds, and Singh just yells.
