261641 The rep from Bramalea Gore Malton has inspired increased political participation in a generation of youth who view him not only as a style icon but a community leader. As an avid mixed martial artist, a criminal defense litigator and now MPP Jagmeet is a fighter who's taken his fight from the ring, to the courthouse and finally to parliament.
