Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet says his party is working with other parties to try and bring down the Trudeau government. This means that the only party that s actually keeping the Liberals in power now is Jagmeet Singh's NDP.
00:00:17.180This means that the only party that's actually keeping the Liberals in power now is Jagmeet Singh's NDP. And Jagmeet Singh's current political play is all about how he's ripped up the supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals and he's his own man again. He will do whatever he and the NDP want.
00:00:36.100And now that Yves-Francois Blanchet saying, well, we'll defeat the Liberal government today, we're working with other parties, we are going to see things not just get bad for Trudeau, but get really bad for Jagmeet Singh.
00:00:48.160Because Jagmeet Singh and the NDP are secretly completely broke. Who could have guessed that socialists aren't good with money?
00:00:55.120And so at the same time, they want to criticize Trudeau constantly and say he's unfit to be the Prime Minister.
00:00:59.880They also can't fight an election. But let's get into some of the clips from this press conference.
00:01:06.080Thank you to True North for clipping these press conferences. I don't exactly have a team of people behind me.
00:01:11.140And before I actually get into this, again, I've said this in other videos, 75% of you watching me right now are probably not actually subscribed.
00:01:19.840I've looked at my backend analytics. So if you like the channel, make sure you subscribe.
00:01:24.100And if you want to support the show, you can also donate to the Give, Send, Go legal fund we have in the description below, as well as pinned at the top in the comments.
00:01:32.340But here is Yves-Francois Blanchet saying that he is working with other parties to try and make sure the government falls.
00:01:40.880Are you open to another conversation? If the government comes to you today, tomorrow, even the day after, are you open to a conversation to keep that going if you get what you want?
00:01:52.600Have they come to us yesterday or the day before? No, we haven't got what we wanted.
00:01:58.160If before, of course, if before they fall, they give us all we have asked under the terms that we have described, we don't have a choice but to take it.
00:02:10.060But we are not negotiating anything as we speak. We are negotiating with opposition parties in order to have the government be...
00:02:18.600So that would mean your support as well?
00:02:28.620A very big populist issue for them in Quebec.
00:02:32.320And oddly enough, I think it's really the reason why the Liberals are not just throwing more money at this.
00:02:37.400It's because we've experienced what it's like to have Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland in charge of Canada's finances.
00:02:44.200The fact that they haven't caved to the Bloc and just given them the 10% increase on old age pensions for, I believe, people between the ages of 67 and 75 or 80 or whatever,
00:02:57.440that it's probably because we actually are in such a bad economic position that the Liberals know we would go bankrupt if we actually approved this.
00:03:06.300This is where politics can be a little cynical because I believe the Conservatives have actually been supporting the Bloc,
00:03:12.300but just because they know that the Bloc is asking for too much and the Liberals can't give it to them.
00:03:18.020And so the Liberals are stuck between a rock and a hard place of their own creation because they have absolutely ruined the economy.
00:03:25.320And adding any more money onto these big programs means that the inflation rate is going to kick back up
00:03:32.100and the Liberals lose the last tiny argument they have to keep them in government,
00:03:36.080which is that inflation has gone down over the past couple of years, which is nonsense.
00:05:22.460That was one of the reasons why we said five weeks ago that we were giving ourselves and the Reverend five weeks.
00:05:29.460Five weeks to go to rid the bills, which they didn't do.
00:05:33.820Five weeks so that there would still be time to go into election before having an election, which would be between Christmas and New Year's Eve.
00:05:44.140And five weeks in order to be absolutely ready to go into election tomorrow morning.
00:05:51.320Not only are we ready, but we might be expecting that with enthusiasm.
00:05:57.660I do not believe that Quebecers want elections so much, but I do believe that they will understand that this is where we are now.
00:06:23.460Like, I'm a conservative, obviously, so I don't want any of these people to do well.
00:06:27.260But, like, Jagmeet Singh sucks at politics like he's trying to win a prize.
00:06:31.720The man doesn't know, actually, how to take a position and bluff your way into getting what you want, which is probably good for all of us because the NDP is just the more socialistic version of the liberals.
00:06:43.860It is the even more woke and progressive version of the liberals.
00:06:47.680But Jagmeet Singh, every time he asks for something, he always is then asked the next moment, will you have an election over this?
00:06:53.820Will you actually hit the nuclear button that you have that can hurt the liberals?
00:08:02.960Just give us $17, and we'll give you a bad-looking shirt.
00:08:05.180Like, it's so pathetic that they're, like, going through their email list to just give us $10 because nobody wants to give them anything because they don't do anything.
00:08:13.940Because if you're an NDP supporter, as much as you don't like the liberals, what is the NDP doing different than the liberals?
00:08:20.940This is why so many people have just moved over to the conservatives because most voters are not very ideological.
00:08:25.980And when they used to vote NDP or liberal, but they see both of those parties aren't working, well, unless they're in Quebec, they're going to go and vote for the conservatives or maybe the Greens if they're feeling really spicy in a day.
00:08:37.600But they're just mostly voting conservative because the conservatives have a coherent plan that is different from what the liberals are doing.
00:08:43.540There was actually good moments recently of Pierre Polyev asking for real spending cuts in government.
00:08:50.320I think conservatives should actually be championing spending cuts.
00:08:52.760The liberals are trying to smear them over wanting to cut spending.
00:08:57.140Most people want us to cut spending because everyone understands, at the end of the day, we can't keep spending way more than we bring in, especially as our deficits are outpacing our growth right now.
00:09:09.700Our current growth is all in raw GDP, not in actual GDP per capita.
00:09:14.120So in 10 years, we might have no serious earners who could actually help prop up the federal budget because we've chased them all into the U.S.
00:09:21.840or they retired and most of our workers are making below $50,000.
00:09:34.460I want to first talk about what she what her reaction is in response to use Francois Blanchet.
00:09:40.320And then I want to go over to the secret ballot initiative to gauge Justin Trudeau's approval in his own caucus, because that's still an ongoing issue for the prime minister.
00:09:51.820On the Bloc issue, can you just categorically say that the Liberal government will not bring in the 10 percent increase?
00:09:57.840And Mr. Duclos, on the same point, we heard that you said it was a fake ultimatum, in essence.
00:10:02.520I'm paraphrasing what you were saying this morning in French.
00:10:04.560Has your view changed after hearing Mr. Blanchet earlier today say that he is looking to bring the government down at the earliest available opportunity?
00:10:11.480I'll just say very quickly, we have I have a good relationship with the Bloc.
00:10:18.740I think our government does. The lines of communication are open.
00:10:24.680There are a lot of things that we agree on, and we think that it's important to.
00:10:32.360This is how you belittle your opponent in a negotiation.
00:10:36.600This is like worse than like Kamala Harris talking about an issue.
00:10:40.440It's just like she's literally said nothing.
00:10:42.740And it's been about taking off nine seconds for the question.
00:10:46.400Has not been asking, answering this thing at all.
00:10:49.720It's just like describing the how things work a little bit.
00:10:53.120There's an open communication. I have a good relationship.
00:15:05.260We have always had a diversity of views.
00:15:08.260And we believe that's one of the things that makes us strong.
00:15:11.080I believed before that meeting and my view was confirmed that the vast majority of MPs support the prime minister.
00:15:21.720They support him as our leader today and they support him as the guy who's going to lead us into the next election.
00:15:27.820Our party and our caucus have had many opportunities to decide our own rules for choosing a leader.
00:15:40.120Our party decided on that and our caucus decided on that.
00:15:44.880And in our rules, the leader is not chosen by secret ballot of caucus members.
00:15:50.920That's just not how liberals govern themselves.
00:15:53.660There's, in fact, actually no way of getting rid of a liberal leader inside the Liberal Party if caucus or the membership of the party loses faith in them.
00:16:03.220There's legitimately the board can't do it.
00:16:45.540Yeah, so I don't I don't think that the Liberal like government is going to be defeated.
00:16:51.720I think there is a chance that maybe Jagmeet Singh knows that if he keeps voting to keep them in power while the Bloc and the Conservatives and maybe the Greens are voting against them, that they are basically going to suffer the same defeat as the Liberals.
00:17:05.220And it's best to go into a new election with not a lot of money on hand and you have to scrape together some cash to maybe put together some confident campaigns, you know, just make it very volunteer heavy that that would be a better option than maybe sticking around until the end of 2025 with another million dollars.
00:17:21.480Because at the end of the day, really, the NDP doesn't have that many ridings that can compete in anyways, it should just be telling the locals to raise money.
00:17:29.080Again, I'm giving a party I don't like advice, maybe they should take it.
00:17:33.340But the fact that they are in the place that they are in now means they probably won't because they don't like good decision making.
00:17:38.880But anyways, so obviously, I think the Conservatives are going to win whatever election does end up coming through.
00:17:45.240So there is a part of me that also thinks that the Bloc knows that it's not going to get defeated so they can vote against the Liberal Party at least once.
00:17:53.140And it gives them a bit of a popularity boost, but that they don't really want it defeated.
00:17:58.140Just as maybe Jagmeet Singh's NDP one day may vote to dissolve the government at a time when they know the Bloc will vote to keep them.
00:18:05.240And so each party gets to pretend like we're really strongly against the Liberals, even though they're like basically taking turns of who's going to end up keeping the government from collapsing.
00:18:15.820But there is one more thing in this video I want to mention, and it is that Kevin Vong foreign interference press conference.
00:18:23.960You guys should check it out. I will link it in the description of this video below.
00:18:29.600He did a really good job in his press conference with Sam Cooper and other investigative journalists talking about the four names that they mentioned that are in Canadian politics who are connected with foreign interference or foreign governments.
00:18:43.680This was mainly about the Chinese Communist Party and its front groups in Canada.
00:18:48.760The crazy thing in the aftermath of this interview, this press conference, which I'm not going to show here.
00:18:55.060It's very long. It might need its own video.
00:18:57.420Me and Daniel Boardman talked about it yesterday in a live stream for the channel.
00:19:01.780But since it came out, there has been actually a lot of news, even though not a single news entity has covered it.
00:19:08.200That Mary knew, who is one of the people mentioned by Sam Cooper and Kevin Vong, who is an independent MP, by the way.
00:19:16.500Kevin Vong is the independent MP for Spadina Fort York.
00:19:20.720That Mary knew when they mentioned her, who is our export and trade minister, which is a little dangerous if you have some exposure with the CCP,
00:19:28.140responded to it in a longer thread where she says,
00:19:32.380it's unfortunate that Mr. Vong recently gave Sam Cooper another platform to make insinuations about me, which I categorically reject.
00:19:40.840And she goes on in post to basically insult Sam Cooper, saying, oh, he was fired from the globe, from global news.
00:19:46.780He has no credibility, blah, blah, blah.
00:19:50.120He was fired from global news because Han Dong, a man who also obviously is involved with the CCP, had ended up trying to, like, sue the global news and Sam Cooper.
00:20:02.100And because it was effectively just a lawfare and was just going to try and hurt the global news and Sam Cooper financially,
00:20:09.060global news made the cowardly decision just to cut Sam Cooper loose.
00:20:13.320And now Sam Cooper does his own thing.
00:20:14.980But because he has integrity, he is still investigating.
00:20:17.500I believe Sam Cooper is more of a liberal guy anyways, not in terms of voting for that party.
00:20:21.840I don't think he'd vote for a party this corrupt with CCP, you know, interference and influence since he's very much anti-CCP.
00:20:28.720But it's not like he's an arch-conservative, if anything.
00:20:32.100But Kevin Vong, too, is a man who actually was elected as a liberal.
00:20:36.720But because he was an anti-communist, people like Han Dong seemed to notice that he was an anti-communist.
00:20:42.000And then he tried to basically have him whacked in terms of getting thrown off the ballot as the liberal before the 21 election.
00:20:48.820There's a pattern, and I can maybe link an article I wrote on this situation, like, back in early 2023,
00:20:55.060showing that Han Dong and the CCP probably were the ones who wanted Kevin Vong out as the liberal in his riding.
00:21:01.580They didn't move against him fast enough to remove him from the ballot, so Kevin Vong still got into government,
00:21:07.480but has always been sitting as an independent.
00:21:09.740And since he's been doing that, he's like the most anti-communist, anti-foreign interference, anti-IRGC MP that there's ever been in Parliament.
