Conservative leadership candidate Andrew Scheer’s campaign says he’s ready to take on both Justin Trudeau and Ontario MPP Jagmeet Singh in 2019 — even though Singh isn’t even in federal politics yet.

In a fundraising email issued by Scheer’s campaign, former MP Chuck Strahl writes about how Singh is going to win the NDP leadership race. Again, Singh isn’t a candidate at this point.

“Let me make a prediction: Jagmeet Singh is going to win the NDP Leadership race,” wrote Strahl.

“If you’ve never heard of him, you will, he’s currently the deputy leader of Ontario’s NDP. He’s 38, appears in fashion magazines and is the NDP version of Justin Trudeau.”

Singh — who has appeared in GQ —told CBC in February that entering the leadership race is “something I’m really considering quite seriously.”

Strahl said the Tories need a leader of “substance, not just style” but they also need someone “of Trudeau and Singh’s generation.”

Strahl wrote that when he was deciding who to support in the leadership race, he looked for a candidate who “has the energy to take on Trudeau and can appeal to voters under the age of 40,” and Scheer fits the bill.

“Here in B.C., we lost a lot of seats in 2015. We can’t win them back by repeating the past. Let’s choose a young, conservative, energetic leader who can defeat Trudeau,” he concluded.
