NDP leader Jagmeet Singh confronted a heckler outside Parliament Hill on September 17, 2024. The altercation began when a man called Singh a 'corrupted bastard,' prompting Singh to demand that the man repeat the insult to his face. Singh then called the man a 'coward.' The incident occurred in the context of a protest involving members of a far-right group who had earlier disrupted a Terry Fox ceremony. Video evidence shows the heckler denying his initial insult despite being caught on camera. Singh's reaction has sparked a range of opinions, with some supporting his actions and others criticizing them. Singh reportedly tried to fight and physically intimidate the heckler, although some view his actions as restrained.
