00:00:25.640 why are you so upset
00:00:27.220 why are you making trouble this morning Mr. Man
00:00:30.780 me
00:00:32.260 okay sit in my lap 0.94
00:00:35.780 hi it's John and welcome to the channel
00:00:39.580 335 a.m. Tuesday November the 4th
00:00:42.420 I hope you're having a great start to your Tuesday
00:00:44.540 I tip my big blue mug of coffee to you today
00:00:48.220 it is budget night
00:00:50.460 what's gonna happen
00:00:51.460 wow who knows what's gonna happen after the budget tonight
00:00:54.460 you're gonna see a lot of spending 0.99
00:00:56.460 it's gonna be an absolute shit show 0.99
00:00:59.060 and it all depends on the NDP 0.99
00:01:03.020 you know how does a party that fails so much
00:01:05.660 end up having control over what happens to the government so much
00:01:09.320 you know it was
00:01:09.820 right around Christmas last year
00:01:12.260 when Jagmeet Singh
00:01:13.100 former leader of the NDP
00:01:15.120 finally pulled his support for the Liberal Party
00:01:17.020 when it couldn't make any difference 1.00
00:01:18.700 what a loser 0.98
00:01:19.820 and then we got thrown into the Liberal Leadership Campaign 0.99
00:01:23.800 an election campaign
00:01:25.200 and more Liberal government
00:01:26.400 I did a video
00:01:27.560 not right at this time last year
00:01:29.860 a little bit later I guess
00:01:30.820 probably in December
00:01:31.860 where I called Jagmeet Singh
00:01:33.560 the biggest piece of blank
00:01:34.840 in Canadian political history
00:01:36.440 and now they're without a leader
00:01:39.140 and we're going into an election
00:01:40.100 and the NDP have control of what happens
00:01:42.300 once again
00:01:42.960 again 1.00
00:01:45.060 bunch of losers 1.00
00:01:46.000 they're always in control 1.00
00:01:48.240 this story in the National Post this morning
00:01:50.760 all options on the table
00:01:52.120 NDP to consider abstaining during the budget vote
00:01:54.860 I think
00:01:55.860 I think there's one thing that will determine what happens
00:01:59.960 when it comes to the support of the NDP for this
00:02:02.560 I'll get to that in just a moment
00:02:03.860 but a little bit from this article from the National Post
00:02:06.960 Canadians might not be heading to a Christmas election
00:02:09.800 after all as the NDP is keeping all its options open
00:02:12.620 including abstention on the budget vote
00:02:14.880 but at least one new Democrat is breaking ranks
00:02:17.680 and saying she'll not be abstaining
00:02:19.660 the Liberal minority government will need the support
00:02:22.100 of at least one other party to pass the budget
00:02:24.160 which is being tabled on Tuesday in the House of Commons
00:02:26.520 to date the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have hinted
00:02:29.160 they would be voting against it
00:02:30.760 chances are that will happen
00:02:32.200 they both have demands of the government
00:02:33.540 and Carney's not going to give in to any of their demands
00:02:36.240 interim NDP leader Don Davies said
00:02:39.780 on Monday that his caucus would not be taking a clear position
00:02:43.100 on the budget before any of its members could carefully read the document
00:02:46.160 we're going to read the budget
00:02:47.660 we'll study it carefully
00:02:48.960 we'll consult stakeholders
00:02:50.200 and we're going to analyze it
00:02:51.560 through the lens of whether it's good for working people
00:02:54.940 keep that in mind
00:02:56.020 all options are on the table until we read the budget
00:02:58.580 however NDP MP Jenny Kwan has made her position clear
00:03:02.000 I'll not abstain
00:03:03.220 said the MP for Vancouver East
00:03:05.020 her colleague Leah Gazan
00:03:06.660 I think she's the one who wants to make
00:03:08.620 residential school denialism illegal
00:03:12.540 I think that's her
00:03:13.580 echoed her interim leader's message
00:03:15.280 that nothing's off the table
00:03:16.540 but said that the new Democrats
00:03:17.860 cannot vote in favor of an austerity budget
00:03:20.700 Davies says he expects the seven-member NDP caucus
00:03:24.780 to vote the same way
00:03:26.160 minority liberals holding 169 seats
00:03:28.640 three short of a majority
00:03:29.780 must find support
00:03:30.760 or abstentions from at least three opposition MPs
00:03:33.980 to keep their budget and their government alive
00:03:36.480 in the upcoming confidence vote
00:03:37.840 the vote could happen as early as mid-November
00:03:40.120 so it's going to be a while before we find out
00:03:41.680 I am 100% confident that this budget
00:03:44.400 is the right budget for this country at this moment
00:03:46.900 Carney told reporters
00:03:48.080 at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit
00:03:50.740 in South Korea on Saturday
00:03:52.280 this is not a game
00:03:53.360 he added
00:03:54.000 Conservative leader Pierre Polyev says
00:03:56.200 we want an affordable budget
00:03:57.720 that will give Canadians an affordable life
00:03:59.380 before Christmas
00:04:00.180 he replied
00:04:00.800 adding that we'll not vote to raise grocery prices
00:04:03.360 and increase housing costs
00:04:04.660 as the liberals have done over the last decade
00:04:06.480 I think he's referring there to deficits
00:04:09.140 and he talks constantly about deficits
00:04:11.280 driving up inflation and costs for you
00:04:13.540 Polyev was also asked if his party
00:04:15.440 had ruled out the option of abstaining
00:04:17.000 he did not directly answer the question
00:04:18.660 the Bloc Québécois
00:04:19.940 which has 22 MPs
00:04:21.680 has previously ruled out abstaining on the budget vote
00:04:24.200 the party has laid out 18 budget demands
00:04:26.780 which include increasing old age security payments
00:04:29.200 and boosting health transfers to the provinces
00:04:31.680 so they're likely to vote against it
00:04:33.460 Champagne
00:04:34.300 that would be Francois-Philippe Champagne
00:04:35.980 finance minister with his new shoes tonight
00:04:37.980 said there will be no surprises in his first budget
00:04:41.420 Canadians have asked us to do
00:04:43.200 build big bold things
00:04:45.560 they expect us to do things differently
00:04:47.320 so we're going to make generational investments
00:04:49.680 deficits
00:04:50.220 that will build our country
00:04:52.560 Champagne said there will be
00:04:53.920 something for every political party
00:04:55.540 investments, deficits
00:04:56.660 in housing, infrastructure, defense
00:04:58.660 as well as more money, deficits
00:05:00.640 to increase productivity
00:05:02.120 once again the question of the budget
00:05:04.660 and the possibility of election
00:05:05.980 dominated much of question period on Monday
00:05:08.320 as the governing liberals
00:05:09.980 and the opposition parties
00:05:11.160 took turns accusing each other
00:05:12.540 of wanting an unnecessary
00:05:13.740 costly election
00:05:15.440 Davies says it's up to Carney
00:05:16.660 to craft the budget
00:05:17.480 in a minority parliament
00:05:19.320 that can earn the support
00:05:20.300 of one other party
00:05:21.300 it's not my job
00:05:22.040 I don't hold the pen
00:05:22.800 I'm not the government
00:05:23.520 conservative MPs have said
00:05:24.820 that they're ready to go
00:05:25.620 I said in another video
00:05:27.220 that Michelle Rumpel-Garner
00:05:28.560 tweeted out that she's ready to go
00:05:30.160 and I've got my sign up
00:05:31.760 in behind me there
00:05:32.700 my guy here in Calgary Shepherd
00:05:34.780 I think he'll be ready to go as well
00:05:36.260 I've got my sign ready to go
00:05:37.900 now how do we sit right now
00:05:39.500 when it comes to seats
00:05:40.260 in the House of Commons
00:05:41.040 169 for the liberals
00:05:42.920 between the Conservatives
00:05:44.260 and Bloc Québécois
00:05:45.060 they have 166
00:05:46.340 so it will depend on somebody
00:05:47.940 from the NDP
00:05:48.800 so how are they going to vote on this
00:05:50.300 I think it's going to come down
00:05:51.940 to really one thing
00:05:52.940 they talked there about
00:05:54.380 one of the MPs said
00:05:56.600 that they don't want
00:05:57.300 an austerity budget
00:05:58.300 and the other one said
00:05:59.940 they wanted to see
00:06:00.620 how it worked out
00:06:01.300 sort of for workers
00:06:02.180 and I think that's going to be
00:06:03.080 the big thing
00:06:03.640 that's important to the NDP
00:06:05.220 they've been outflanked
00:06:06.320 on the left
00:06:06.780 when it comes to workers
00:06:07.720 and unions
00:06:08.920 they become irrelevant
00:06:10.260 in that case
00:06:11.040 and I think
00:06:11.660 it's going to depend
00:06:13.080 on the next leader
00:06:14.480 they choose
00:06:15.000 whether they are
00:06:15.840 union friendly
00:06:16.700 and worker friendly
00:06:17.680 if there are a lot
00:06:18.440 of jobs lost
00:06:19.600 and that comes
00:06:20.580 from federal employees
00:06:21.800 we heard that
00:06:22.380 they're going to cut
00:06:22.920 some jobs
00:06:23.600 those are union employees
00:06:25.020 and if they cut
00:06:25.800 a lot of union employees
00:06:27.340 the NDP
00:06:27.860 will likely vote against this
00:06:29.100 here are the people
00:06:29.600 who are running right now
00:06:30.420 looks like a nice guy
00:06:31.860 dock worker
00:06:32.520 union member
00:06:33.300 president of the
00:06:34.500 International Longshore
00:06:35.580 Workers Union of Canada
00:06:36.760 so all about union
00:06:37.700 unfortunately for Rob
00:06:39.220 he doesn't have 0.98
00:06:40.180 the right genitalia 0.99
00:06:41.320 okay
00:06:42.120 move along
00:06:43.500 to the next one
00:06:44.180 somebody who has 0.98
00:06:45.000 the right genitalia 0.97
00:06:46.080 but just hasn't got 0.94
00:06:47.140 a chance
00:06:47.580 a she her here 0.90
00:06:48.660 registered social worker
00:06:49.920 who has all of these
00:06:51.160 great ideas
00:06:51.960 for more child care
00:06:53.280 free transportation
00:06:54.600 free college tuition
00:06:55.800 all that kind of stuff
00:06:56.880 and then there's this guy
00:06:58.240 who is an all-out communist
00:06:59.620 he's the one
00:07:01.820 who wants government-run
00:07:02.860 grocery stores
00:07:03.760 like Mom Donnie wants
00:07:05.040 in New York City
00:07:07.220 who is likely
00:07:08.020 to get elected today
00:07:09.380 veteran journalist
00:07:10.640 worked for Al Jazeera
00:07:11.600 fine media company
00:07:12.660 educator and activist
00:07:13.800 married to Naomi Klein
00:07:15.600 as well
00:07:16.240 right
00:07:16.560 so
00:07:17.820 if you don't know
00:07:18.800 what the leap manifesto
00:07:20.000 is
00:07:20.140 look that up
00:07:20.760 you know
00:07:21.260 it's been a while
00:07:22.000 since I read about it
00:07:22.840 so I went back
00:07:23.340 to check it out
00:07:23.980 and here's basically
00:07:24.760 some of the points
00:07:25.760 that Abby Lewis
00:07:26.600 and Naomi Klein
00:07:27.780 his wife
00:07:28.280 wrote about in a book
00:07:29.280 this is a whole thing
00:07:30.380 about 10 years ago
00:07:31.780 full implementation
00:07:33.360 of UNDRIP
00:07:34.340 100% clean
00:07:35.500 energy economy
00:07:36.580 by 2050
00:07:37.320 no more fossil fuel
00:07:38.460 infrastructure
00:07:39.140 vigorous debate
00:07:40.000 on universal basic income
00:07:41.420 basically
00:07:42.000 Abby Lewis 0.99
00:07:43.560 is a freaking communist 1.00
00:07:44.700 then you've got 1.00
00:07:45.600 Heather McPherson
00:07:46.380 who is actually
00:07:47.080 an MP right now
00:07:47.940 for the NDP
00:07:48.520 she's the MP
00:07:49.840 for Edmonton Strathcona
00:07:51.520 she was elected
00:07:52.140 first in 2019 1.00
00:07:53.060 she has a vagina 1.00
00:07:54.500 so she's likely 1.00
00:07:56.780 to win
00:07:57.360 and don't sit there
00:07:58.660 laughing
00:07:59.120 this is how
00:07:59.760 the NDP rolls
00:08:00.580 what was it
00:08:01.200 I don't know
00:08:02.340 if I'm getting
00:08:02.640 this exactly right
00:08:03.520 but it's ridiculous 0.90
00:08:04.260 anyway 0.70
00:08:04.560 I think the nomination
00:08:05.720 papers
00:08:06.200 for these different
00:08:07.520 people who are
00:08:08.180 running here
00:08:08.800 couldn't have more
00:08:09.680 than what was it
00:08:10.260 50% cisgendered
00:08:12.040 males signing it 0.73
00:08:12.780 that's how
00:08:13.320 the NDP
00:08:13.940 roll these days
00:08:14.880 so she's likely
00:08:16.240 to win
00:08:16.580 I think she's
00:08:17.140 the most
00:08:17.600 logical person
00:08:19.160 and again
00:08:19.520 she has the right 0.97
00:08:20.220 genitalia 0.98
00:08:20.900 and then there's
00:08:21.420 Tony McQuail
00:08:22.140 looks like a nice guy
00:08:23.660 organic farmer
00:08:24.720 born in Pennsylvania
00:08:25.840 looks like he was
00:08:26.840 a draft dodger
00:08:27.740 as well
00:08:28.280 so this is
00:08:28.980 the fine group
00:08:29.980 of people
00:08:30.440 that the NDP
00:08:31.460 have running for them
00:08:32.300 but I think
00:08:32.760 it'll depend
00:08:33.240 on what happens
00:08:34.260 when it comes
00:08:35.460 to jobs tonight
00:08:36.480 because the NDP
00:08:37.320 want to regain
00:08:38.440 that title
00:08:41.480 of being
00:08:41.960 for the worker
00:08:42.960 for union
00:08:44.500 workers
00:08:45.060 right
00:08:45.600 right
00:08:46.720 so we'll have
00:08:48.020 to see what
00:08:48.360 happens tonight
00:08:48.980 it's gonna be a while
00:08:49.800 before we find out
00:08:51.000 whether there is a vote
00:08:51.900 of non-confidence
00:08:52.620 I'm still thinking
00:08:53.620 there's gonna be
00:08:54.840 enough of the NDP
00:08:55.680 to vote against
00:08:56.820 the budget
00:08:57.320 and we'll see
00:08:59.120 an election
00:08:59.500 before Christmas
00:09:00.160 tell me what you think
00:09:00.980 in the comments
00:09:01.640 let me know
