Canada's NDP leader Jagmeet Singh faces political setback (Hindustan Times)

Jagmeet Singh's younger brother was defeated in Ontario's provincial elections from a seat in the family's political base of Brampton in the Greater Toronto ...

Citing the China Earthquake Networks Center, state news agency Xinhua reported that the epicentre was at a depth of 17 kilometres. Lead by Premier Doug Ford, it was on course to net 83 seats, an improvement of seven over 2018, when his party ousted the Liberals who had been in power for 15 years. A shallow 6.1-magnitude quake hit a sparsely populated area in Sichuan province about 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of provincial capital Chengdu, broadcaster CCTV said. The elder brother had been present at the launch of the re-election campaign of Gurratan Singh on April 23 for the riding of Brampton East and figured in promotional videos on election day. This time, Graham McGregor of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario (PC) bested her with 45% of the vote against 28%. The riding was reconfigured into what became Brampton East for the 2018 elections and again proved a bastion for the family as it was captured by Gurratan Singh. However, the tide turned on Thursday night in a personal and political reverse for Jagmeet Singh.
