OTTAWA — Ontario NDP deputy leader Jagmeet Singh is building a national campaign team and appears poised to enter the federal party’s leadership race. But a source close to the MPP says a core group of about eight people are organizing a campaign team, and have found a prospective campaign manager who is negotiating leave from their current employer so they can work with Singh. Another source told the National Post that Singh has quietly begun informing others in the political sphere that he plans to run. “In order to put forward a national campaign, a part of what I’ve been doing is meeting with folks around the country to figure out what the support would look like. For the first time in many years, Singh said, forming a government at Queen’s Park seems within the party’s grasp.
