We always try to end things on a bit of a lighter note here and sometimes I think a video is worth,
00:00:05.520
I mean a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a thousand pictures. Here is
00:00:10.240
Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the NDP in the House of Commons this week.
00:00:14.560
Remember if we're going to be South. When I'm Prime Minister, I will keep my promises.
00:00:30.000
You know, I criticize the 22 minutes Twitter account for not knowing real comedy. That was
00:00:41.540
real comedy. Jagmeet Singh starting a sentence with when I'm Prime Minister. If CBC could produce that
00:00:47.640
level of comedy, we'd be in a great position as a country. Exactly. He'll be Prime Minister when
00:00:53.000
the world is flat. He'll be Prime Minister when the media gets over itself. That's about as likely
00:00:59.660
as that is. I love that now like the pretense is gone. Everyone in the House of Commons just
00:01:04.140
bursts into this like uproar when he says this because they all know just how absurd it is.
00:01:09.480
Well, you know, and again, it speaks to the disconnectedness of politicians like him and
00:01:16.620
a good number of the members of the NDP caucus. They actually think they are going to govern one day.
00:01:23.280
Please. He has none of the charm and charisma of Jack Layton. I was not a fan of Jack Layton when
00:01:30.040
he was at City Hall, but at least he had charisma and at least he knew how to bring people together
00:01:35.100
and make a statement. This guy has been absolutely useless. He is, you know, he wears nice suits.
00:01:43.100
I like his different color turbans, but he's been useless.
00:01:46.780
Yeah. And it was an odd sort of like you and I, I think, have talked about this in the past. I
00:01:50.680
certainly have on my show as well that he's given away everything for nothing when it comes to
00:01:55.360
this non-coalition coalition agreement, the supply and confidence agreement he has with the liberals
00:02:01.340
where he jumps up and down all the time and talks about how terrible the liberals are.
00:02:05.900
And, but he doesn't say the quiet part out loud, which is that he's the one keeping the liberals in
00:02:10.080
power right now. And he could actually cause the government to topple at any moment if he wanted to.
