OTTAWA — A possible fall federal election won’t be the only thing Jagmeet Singh prepares himself for this year.

The Federal NDP Leader announced on social media Thursday afternoon that his wife, Gurkiran Kaur Sidhu, is pregnant with their first child.

It will be a new adventure for the pair who have been married since February 2018.

Though the timing could be great for Singh, who could set his sights on the election ahead of the baby’s arrival sometime late this year, or early 2022.
