SURREY, B.C. – Several female New Democrat activists are applauding Jagmeet Singh for blocking MP Erin Weir from running in the next election.
The letter of support, posted on Facebook today as Singh prepares to meet with his caucus in Surrey, B.C., is signed by a group of women including former candidates and high-level organizers.
The letter writers say Singh showed he understands his legal obligation to provide a safe and healthy workplace when he had Weir removed from caucus.
