NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh was photographed on Parliament Hill recently getting into a Maserati SUV, according to photographs exclusively obtained by True North.
The two photographs show Singh, 45, carrying a leather bag and a coat and approaching the luxury SUV and then opening the passenger door to enter the vehicle. Singh is seen from behind getting into a black Maserati Levante SUV. The source told True North the photos were taken in “early October.”
According to the car website driving.ca, the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for a 2024 Maserati Levante ranges from $127,000 to $213,800 Canadian dollars. For comparison, the most recent data from Statistics Canada shows that the median Canadian salary now hovers at around $71,000 per year.
True North cross referenced the House of Commons video library, ParlVU, and found that Jagmeet Singh was wearing the same jacket and turban on October 10th, 2024.
Singh’s office did not respond to True North’s request for comment on this story.
Singh’s expensive taste and extravagant lifestyle has gotten the NDP Leader into trouble in the past. In November 2023, photographs circulated online showing Singh walking in Toronto carrying a luxury Versace bag.
“Champagne socialist Jagmeet Singh spotted with a Versace tote bag yesterday,” read a caption of the photo posted by Canada Proud in a post that had hundreds of thousands of engagements across social media platforms.
Likewise, as True North reported, his wife wore a $1,124 Zimmerman dress for a maternity shoot in 2021. This was at the same time as the NDP was promoting a new tax on ‘luxury goods.’
While the NDP was once the party that represented blue collar and working class Canadians, Singh has seemingly embraced being a so-called champagne socialist or limousine liberal.
Singh once boasted about owning multiple Rolex watches (a watch that ranges in price from about $8,000 CAD all the way up to hundreds of thousands), and in the past has been seen driving a luxury BMW.
As a politician, Singh is critical of “the rich” who he claims do not pay their “fair share.” He has floated the idea of a “wealth tax” in order to confiscate the after-tax savings and property of successful Canadians.
On the same day as Singh drove around Ottawa in the prohibitively expensive luxury SUV, he railed against “greedy CEOs” in Question Period and expressed concern for inflation and the rising cost of living in Canada.
“Mr. Speaker, get this: A new study, recently released, shows that 94% of Canadians are worried about the high cost of groceries. With Thanksgiving coming around the corner, they are worried that greedy CEOs are going to rip them off when they go grocery shopping. I get why the Conservatives voted against our plan to lower grocery prices; their chief strategist is a chief lobbyist for none other than Loblaw,” said Singh.
“However, why did the Liberals vote against making sure we lower prices for Canadians? Why do they let greedy CEOs rip off Canadians?”
