00:00:00.000 Well, just like that, the coalition deal, the supply and confidence agreement between Jagmeet
00:00:12.420 Singh and Justin Trudeau is gone. Today, I notified the prime minister that I've ripped
00:00:18.040 up the supply and confidence agreement. Canadians are fighting a battle, a battle for the future
00:00:23.160 of the middle class. Justin Trudeau has proven again and again, he will always cave to corporate
00:00:28.400 greed. The liberals have let people down. They don't deserve another chance. And with this
00:00:33.820 announcement, Singh may have set Canada on a path to an early election and Justin Trudeau
00:00:39.820 on a path to retirement. So what happens now? Well, right now, nothing. For the moment, Justin
00:00:47.200 Trudeau holds his political fate in his own hands. That is until, of course, the House sits
00:00:52.480 in the fall. When the House resumes, Justin Trudeau can attempt to save his political fate
00:00:57.880 by negotiating with the NDP on a day-to-day basis or by attempting to form another coalition
00:01:05.140 agreement, but this time with the Bloc Québécois, with the Quebec separatists. Both of these
00:01:10.560 options, of course, would be an attempt to protect himself and his government from an impending
00:01:15.380 non-confidence vote. But what exactly changed in the relationship between Jagmeet Singh and
00:01:20.800 Justin Trudeau? Because for months, the legacy media has been peppering Jagmeet Singh with
00:01:25.980 questions about the future of the supply and confidence agreement with the liberals. Seeing
00:01:31.040 as how, of course, Jagmeet Singh would constantly rail on Justin Trudeau for not doing enough
00:01:36.660 for the working class, for not doing enough to lower prices. But every time the question
00:01:41.080 was asked, Jagmeet Singh would deflect and think of some other creative way to avoid answering
00:01:45.840 the question.
00:01:46.840 Our democracy is at stake here. So why are you continuing to prop up the government who
00:01:54.900 you say isn't taking democracy seriously? Why do you continue to prop them up?
00:01:58.900 So the question is, what are we going to do about it? No, no. The question is, why do you
00:02:03.960 continue to prop up the government when you say our democracy is at stake and this government
00:02:08.760 is not taking our democracy seriously? Why continue to back them up? We're not at all
00:02:14.400 doing that. What we're saying is we're going to demand answers.
00:02:15.960 Well, according to the CBC, the New Democrats began preparing to end the agreement with the
00:02:20.920 liberals two weeks ago after the federal government imposed binding arbitration less than 24 hours
00:02:27.240 after CN and CP rail workers were locked out. So it was the way the government handled the
00:02:34.240 CP and CN rail workers lockout that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Who could have seen
00:02:40.720 that being the triggering issue? And this is where the story gets even better. According to a senior
00:02:46.660 government source, the liberal government became aware of the NDP's announcement to cancel the
00:02:52.980 supply and confidence agreement. The only thing keeping them in power 15 minutes before the video
00:02:58.880 was released to the public. Unsurprisingly, Justin Trudeau, who was only made aware of his impending
00:03:04.340 political doom just one hour before speaking to the press today, didn't have much of an answer when
00:03:09.520 asked by the press if he would call for an early election now that his agreement with the NDP is
00:03:15.420 gone. Take a listen. Prime Minister Trudeau, you no longer have the support of the NDP. Your party is
00:03:22.200 trailing in the polls and the conservatives are calling for an election. Is it time to send Canadians 0.99
00:03:26.880 to the polls? We're here today because we're delivering on school lunches and school food for
00:03:35.560 thousands of kids across the province. And we're making investments that are helping are going to
00:03:40.760 be helping hundreds of thousands of kids off the country across the country as people step up. These
00:03:46.480 are the kinds of things that Canadians are looking for. As I traveled across the country this summer,
00:03:51.120 people talked to me about making ends meet. They talked to me about the high cost of rent and need for
00:03:56.460 more housing. They talked to me about the environment and climate change and the impacts of it. And these are
00:04:01.680 the things that we're focused on. I'll let others focus on politics. But I will point out that I really
00:04:07.900 hope the NDP stays focused on how we can deliver for Canadians as we have over the past years, rather
00:04:15.460 than focusing on politics. Six days ago, Pierre Polyev, holding his own press conference, called on
00:04:22.380 Jagmeet Singh to do exactly what he did today, to break off his agreement with the Liberals, or forever be
00:04:28.820 known as, quote, sellout Singh. Because according to Pierre Polyev, Jagmeet Singh sold out the interests
00:04:35.580 of Canadians in order to secure his parliamentary pension. This was only six days ago. Jagmeet Singh
00:04:41.280 is trying to delay the election until after February of next year, so that he can qualify for a $2.2
00:04:50.960 million taxpayer-funded pension. That's why Canadians are calling him Sellout Singh. My message to Sellout Singh
00:05:01.160 is this. Put the people ahead of your pension. Break the costly coalition with Trudeau to trigger a carbon
00:05:11.360 tax election where Canadians can choose between the costly coalition of the NDP Liberals that tax your
00:05:22.100 food, punish your work, take your money, double your housing cost, and unleash crime and chaos in your
00:05:30.040 community, or common-sense Conservatives who will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget, and stop the crime.
00:05:37.900 With Jagmeet Singh's announcement today, it is clear now more than ever that the NDP see Justin Trudeau as
00:05:44.560 a figure of the past and as Prime Minister in name only, turning their focus and their attention on
00:05:51.940 Pierre Polyev and stopping the Conservatives in the next federal election. There is an even bigger battle
00:05:58.280 ahead. The threat of Pierre Polyev and Conservative cuts from workers, from retirees, from young people,
00:06:06.900 from patients, from families. He will cut in order to give more to big corporations and wealthy CEOs.
00:06:15.240 I'm running for Prime Minister because together we can and will stop Conservative cuts. We can deliver
00:06:22.120 relief and restore hope. Well, in return, Pierre Polyev has risen to the occasion and has turned his own
00:06:28.780 sights back on Jagmeet Singh, criticizing Singh's announcement today for not immediately agreeing
00:06:35.380 to call for a non-confidence vote. No time to celebrate for Pierre Polyev.
00:06:40.280 And now, Sellout Singh has pulled a stunt. The Sellout Singh stunt today, where he came out and claimed that
00:06:50.720 he was wrong, that the coalition was a bad, costly idea, but he refuses to commit to voting for a carbon
00:07:01.280 tax election. So my message to Sellout Singh is this. If you're serious about ending your costly
00:07:09.860 carbon tax coalition with Trudeau, then commit today to voting for a carbon tax election at the
00:07:22.460 earliest confidence vote in the House of Commons. So is the NDP really prepared to immediately trigger
00:07:28.580 an election? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below. Will there be an early
00:07:33.660 federal election? Remember that Jagmeet Singh is not in line to secure his own parliamentary pension
00:07:39.980 until February of 2025. Well, this week just continues to get worse for Justin Trudeau because this news
00:07:46.720 comes just days after a viral interaction made its way onto social media between Justin Trudeau and a
00:07:54.260 steel worker. And this steel worker, well, let's just say he's not having any of Justin Trudeau's
00:08:00.820 theatrics or time.
00:08:02.220 Hey, hey, how do you get this? Just one of the...
00:08:04.840 Prime Minister. Is it you again?
00:08:07.180 Well, we got doughnuts over here if you want to thank you for your hard work.
00:08:11.980 I can bring some for my kids, dude.
00:08:13.600 Hey, the 25% tariffs we just brought in on Chinese skills can help you out. 1.00
00:08:17.920 That's going to keep my job, dad.
00:08:19.160 Yeah, that's a good job.
00:08:20.700 What about the 40% taxes I'm paying and I don't have a doctor?
00:08:24.940 The $400 million in the investment electric cart means you're going to have a job for...
00:08:29.820 I think you're only here for another year. We won't see around probably another year.
00:08:32.700 Well, that's what elections are for. 0.85
00:08:34.300 That's right, that's right.
00:08:35.020 And I look forward to everyone exercising the right to vote.
00:08:38.540 Basic choice, we're going to invest in you and your jobs.
00:08:41.340 I don't believe you for a second.
00:08:44.220 Dental care? Do you know anyone who got dental care?
00:08:46.860 Yeah, I pay for it myself.
00:08:48.380 This coalition deal between Jagmeet Singh and Justin Trudeau has kept one of the most
00:08:53.020 unpopular governments in power for years longer than it should have.
00:08:57.580 There was hardly any democratic mandate to support the decisions being made by Justin
00:09:01.980 Trudeau with the NDP's blessing, but that's what we had in this country.
00:09:06.380 The argument put forward by Jagmeet Singh back in March of 2022 when this agreement was reached
00:09:11.100 between the two parties was that Jagmeet Singh was going to be able to advance the NDP's
00:09:15.980 own legislative ambitions in exchange for keeping Justin Trudeau in power.
00:09:20.780 Sure, they were able to achieve some of the dental care plans they wanted,
00:09:24.220 a GST rebate and a one-time rental supplement for low-income tenants.
00:09:28.220 But some of those other plans like PharmaCare and a long-term care agreement,
00:09:32.380 well, those have not been passed yet.
00:09:34.140 And when it comes to the long-term care agreement, that hasn't even been tabled yet.
00:09:37.340 So what did Jagmeet Singh get out of this?
00:09:39.580 Because it appears as though Jagmeet Singh, well, he may have accomplished some of his legislative
00:09:44.860 ambitions, but in return, it's as if he has damaged his own reputation and the reputation of his party
00:09:51.100 for just trying to stay in power.
00:09:54.940 Regardless, with this new announcement, the future of Canadian politics is well and truly in the air,
00:09:59.420 and Justin Trudeau's political future continues to look worse.
00:10:03.500 All right, everyone, that's going to do it for us today on the show.
00:10:05.500 Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:10:06.780 My name is Harrison Faulkner, and this is Ratio.
