Mr. Singh took the helm of his party the
autumn before last in a blaze of viral YouTube videos and bespoke
suits, inspiring dreams of an NDP Justin Trudeau.
His
political assets were easy to rattle off: he was the first non-white
person to head a federal party; he represented a riding in the Ontario
provincial legislature that’s part of the suburban 905 area code, where
federal elections are often decided; he spoke passionately, in both
official languages, about first principles like fairness and equality;
he was photogenic.
What NDP
partisans overlooked – and what his time as leader has exposed – is the
daunting list of qualifications for high office that Mr. Singh has not
yet mastered.
