00:00:00.000 Okay, let's talk about Jagmeet Singh quickly, because one of the interesting things in Canadian politics is that in order for the Conservatives to win, they actually need a strong NDP, right? You need to have that vote split that happens. And for folks that don't know what I'm talking about, basically, the Conservatives poll at 35 to 40%. That's not enough to form a majority. But what happens is because the Canadian left is kind of split, there's more like the hard left wingers, the environmentalists, and the union folks, traditionally. And then there's more the centrists and the bankers and
00:00:29.980 and the business class which is the liberals and in order for the conservatives to get through
00:00:35.100 there needs to be some kind of a split in mostly in kind of competitive riding say in and around
00:00:39.900 toronto in and around vancouver and then in quebec there's a different vote split that happens with
00:00:44.860 the bloc but when the ndp collapses as we saw earlier this month the ndp hit like rock bottom
00:00:53.020 like single digits. That does create a clear path for a liberal victory. And so I think that
00:01:00.260 interestingly, conservatives and the NDP can have some kind of a shared goal in that, you know,
00:01:06.960 they actually want, the conservatives would actually want the NDP to be a bit stronger.
00:01:10.440 And it's also interesting because if you have a left-wing constituency in Canada, say like 40%
00:01:16.540 of the country's left wing. You kind of imagine, okay, you have this guy who's a central banker,
00:01:23.100 who's probably a multimillionaire. We don't even know because he won't disclose his assets,
00:01:26.720 but he's probably a multimillionaire. And he's made all of his money through Wall Street,
00:01:32.380 Goldman Sachs, globalist sort of positions in the U.S. and United Nations. I mean,
00:01:39.380 he's a banker, right? That's not typically the face of the left, right? Like,
00:01:45.820 The person who encompasses the values of left-wingers who usually fight for the workers, for the little guy, you know, people in the unions.
00:01:54.480 Interestingly, I think one of the unions just endorsed conservatives for the first time.
00:01:59.000 But I think that Jagmeet Singh is making a very good point here where he's talking about how Mark Carney contributed to the housing crisis through his business, through what Brookfield Athletic Management does.
00:02:12.360 And that the more that Jagmeet Singh can hit these points, I think it is beneficial just in pointing out to left-wing Canadians, hey, this guy isn't your champion, right? He's totally an elitist and out of touch.
