Jagmeet Singh votes against the Tories on a non-confidence motion in Justin Trudeau's government, and it's not because he's a coward. It's because he failed at politics, and now he's running for re-election.

00:00:00.000 So that didn't take very long. Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh did all this posturing for the last couple of weeks about how he's tearing up the supply and confidence agreement between his party and Justin Trudeau's liberals.
00:00:15.460 And now he's against the consumer carbon tax. Justin Trudeau is a corporate stooge, even though Jagmeet was there the entire time helping him pass all of that stuff that he is now labeling as being too corporate or whatever.
00:00:29.420 I don't get what his point is. And now he's voting against the conservatives' non-confidence motion in the liberals.
00:00:38.020 The funny thing about this is that it wouldn't have even mattered if he voted in favor of it.
00:00:43.640 Like, it would matter in the sense that he wouldn't look like a complete coward.
00:00:47.920 But Jagmeet Singh, for some reason, decided to vote against the conservative non-confidence motion, even though the Bloc Québécois and Francois Blanchet were not supporting it, which means it wouldn't have passed.
00:00:58.360 It was a no-lose scenario for Jagmeet Singh to vote with the conservatives on this.
00:01:04.520 He could even say right before he votes, I think Pierre Polyev is a mean, nasty man, but Justin Trudeau has let down Canadians, and I'm going to beat Pierre Polyev in the next election.
00:01:14.220 Couldn't do that. Couldn't bring himself to do that, because Jagmeet Singh is absolutely politically inept.
00:01:19.700 Obviously, I am a conservative. I am wearing a conservative party of BC pin.
00:01:25.380 But I watch Jagmeet Singh, and I feel bad for anybody who ever votes for the NDP, because, man, it's always led by the absolute dumbest, most mediocre politicians I've ever seen outside of Jack Layton.
00:01:40.220 If you're getting bested by Justin Trudeau, and you're still looking like his lapdog, even after supposedly pulling out a supply and confidence agreement, then you failed at life.
00:01:52.120 You failed at politics. Think about it this way.
00:01:54.560 The supply and confidence agreement was based around the idea that Jagmeet Singh and the NDP are going to supply Justin Trudeau with some votes to help him pass legislation and keep the confidence in the government.
00:02:07.300 So he's ripped up that agreement, and he's still doing it.
00:02:11.980 Here's him from CPAC justifying in front of journalists why he's not voting for the Conservatives' motion.
00:02:19.080 Why didn't you say this yesterday? Why didn't you say this yesterday?
00:02:23.560 We don't let you know today.
00:02:24.620 Why didn't you say this yesterday? You've had more than 24 hours. Why did you wait for the Bloc to say this first? 0.65
00:02:29.260 Other than to maybe give yourself some political cover, why didn't you say it yesterday?
00:02:32.720 We don't let you know today.
00:02:33.800 But how can you say this when you've said Trudeau must go repeatedly?
00:02:36.600 How do you square that?
00:02:38.420 In the next election, people have a choice. I stand by my words. Trudeau has let you down.
00:02:43.440 Trudeau has let you down and does not deserve another choice.
00:02:46.660 We are building a movement.
00:02:48.780 We've shown that with two by-elections where we were the only federal party that had us, that was in the competition, that won one, that was in the competition and the other.
00:02:58.020 We were the only federal party competitive in the island of Montreal, on the island of Montreal, and in the suburbs of Winnipeg.
00:03:05.180 So we are building a movement. We're showing people that we can stop conservative cuts.
00:03:10.120 It's absolutely pathetic. And it's such an arbitrary measure of the NDP success. A safe NDP seat almost was won by the Conservatives.
00:03:20.180 The NDP usually ran 44% of the vote. They basically won 44% again in the by-election.
00:03:25.420 But the Conservatives went from, like, 25 to 42 or something like that. Super tight squeaker of an election.
00:03:32.020 And then he's, like, patting himself on the back because, did you know that we came, like, third place in Montreal?
00:03:37.680 Yeah, it was a tight third place, but all of the parties were clustered around 26%, 27%.
00:03:43.360 So it's not impressive by any stretch of the imagination that the NDP came close in Montreal.
00:03:49.940 The NDP really didn't improve their vote that much in that by-election.
00:03:53.560 They simply just, like, gained a little bit and the Liberals lost so much that it made it look better than it was.
00:04:00.080 And Jagmeet Singh's sitting there, and the reporters pointing this out are doing a good job by saying that he waited for the Bloc Québécois to come out and say that they were not going to vote with the Conservatives' motion,
00:04:12.140 the motion of God and confidence in the Liberals, before Jagmeet would come out and say he's also not in favor of it.
00:04:17.600 Because he didn't want to be put in a position where he might accidentally collapse the government.
00:04:22.740 So he's making sure that the Bloc are also going to vote with the Conservatives on this motion for cover, because he doesn't want to—I don't even get what his game here is.
00:04:32.960 It's weird. I don't understand what he's actually going for.
00:04:36.840 But you can see him fumbling all over the place saying, oh, there's a real choice next election, and Justin Trudeau has let you down.
00:04:43.880 And then apparently you won't actually give us anything to mediate it, to, like, he's let us down, but we're going to keep him in there as long as seemingly possible.
00:04:51.860 And then the other day, I guess just today, seven hours ago, the NDP posted this.
00:04:58.440 They're turning into the British Columbia United Party that fell apart from lack of support.
00:05:03.500 They're bragging about polling trends that don't even exist.
00:05:07.760 The NDP posted, Jagmeet Singh and the NDP have the momentum and we're not slowing down.
00:05:13.480 Together with our movement full of workers, students, retirees, and families, we will deliver relief to Canadians.
00:05:19.540 And it's stupid because the NDP's plan is just whatever the Liberals propose, plus 30% more spending, a couple of extra bloated programs.
00:05:28.980 It's just demand-side economics that never works.
00:05:32.540 Oh, people can't afford groceries? People can't afford housing?
00:05:36.000 Well, instead of supplying more of those or reducing taxes, let's just give people more money,
00:05:40.480 even though that then raises prices because you're just basically creating money off thin air
00:05:45.120 to pretend that you are meeting the need of the situation,
00:05:48.500 which is that there is not enough groceries to go around for a reasonable price.
00:05:53.140 And the graphic here says NDP is growing faster than any other party.
00:05:58.400 New polls show the NDP has gained more support than both the Liberals and Conservatives since mid-August.
00:06:03.820 Since mid-August. I like how he has taken the timeline back to only mid-August.
00:06:09.900 It's September, by the way. Mid-August was one month ago.
00:06:14.400 So in the past 30 days, the NDP get the participation trophy for most improved.
00:06:20.100 I saw here, and I want to see if I can find it, I think it wasn't even true.
00:06:24.400 Like, what he's saying here was just made up.
00:06:26.900 But they haven't improved that much, even in that type timeline.
00:06:31.260 And obviously, they didn't want to say from a year ago or two years ago,
00:06:34.860 because the Conservatives have gone from tied with the Liberals
00:06:38.640 when Pure Paglia first became the Conservative Party leader.
00:06:42.200 It was kind of back and forth.
00:06:43.340 Sometimes the Liberals would be up by a point,
00:06:45.280 Conservatives up by three, you know, tied, one, one plus for one, one plus for the other.
00:06:50.920 And the Conservatives are now at, like, plus 20.
00:06:53.240 So Jagmeet Singh couldn't compete with that.
00:06:55.260 So he's like, you know, since last Friday, technically, we've gained one, like, 2%.
00:07:02.200 And the Conservatives have just stayed stagnant.
00:07:05.480 I'm like, yeah, stagnant at 45%, idiot.
00:07:08.960 Yeah, of course, they've stayed stagnant at fantastic numbers.
00:07:13.660 Jagmeet Singh just keeps gurgling back and forth between terrible polling numbers.
00:07:18.020 So I want to see this.
00:07:20.080 Yeah, so, okay, this is great.
00:07:21.940 Because Polling Canada, I believe, is run by Kyle Hutton,
00:07:25.940 who himself is a Green Party type person, or it might be run by somebody else.
00:07:30.560 But the person who runs Polling Canada, and all they do is they just post stats.
00:07:34.420 They do a good job.
00:07:35.460 But whoever runs Polling Canada is a little bit more on the left.
00:07:40.300 At the very least, they use Kyle Hutton, who is a Green Party guy, for their modeling.
00:07:44.400 And so they posted right under this, under Jagmeet Singh's NDP's post, um, no.
00:07:50.800 And he's showing the changes in polling month to month.
00:07:55.300 The NDP have not been doing well.
00:07:57.460 This is the September polling for all the firms.
00:08:01.040 Yes, if you take Nanos, the NDP looks good.
00:08:04.180 It looks like they've gained.
00:08:05.540 But in all the other polls, some of them are only having about 15% or 16%
00:08:08.660 under what they got back in 2021.
00:08:11.620 The NDP hasn't budged an inch in terms of their support since Jagmeet Singh took over.
00:08:18.180 Thomas Mulcair was a way better NDP leader.
00:08:21.500 And now they're trying to take swipes at the Conservatives and pick fights with Conservatives
00:08:26.240 because they don't want to attack the Liberals too much
00:08:29.300 because that would be a smart thing to do.
00:08:31.220 And that's not what, you know, Jagmeet Singh's into.
00:08:34.040 So they posted this video today as well.
00:08:36.740 And it just says triple, triple, triple in the headline,
00:08:40.020 which sounds like a horrible coffee order from Tim Hortons.
00:08:43.300 Triple, triple, triple.
00:08:46.520 I'm on a pension.
00:08:48.040 Will the government cancel this insane plan to triple, triple, triple?
00:08:52.240 I'm on a pension.
00:08:53.020 So he's going after Pierre Polyev, the government, for tripling the price of the carbon tax.
00:08:59.500 And the NDP are focusing on the fact that Pierre Polyev has a big pension
00:09:03.840 because he has been in office for, you know, 17, 18 years,
00:09:08.800 which, you know, fair enough.
00:09:10.920 Good on him.
00:09:11.600 Well, actually, it's like 20 years now.
00:09:13.460 Yeah, like, yeah, since he got back in in 2004 and he's been around for 20 years.
00:09:16.760 And they're like, oh, his pension's like $200,000 a year now.
00:09:21.100 Okay.
00:09:21.620 I don't really care that much.
00:09:22.820 And then they're trying to say that this is hypocritical because he complains,
00:09:26.880 Pierre Polyev complains about Jagmeet Singh's pension.
00:09:29.540 It's not about the pension.
00:09:30.980 It's about the fact that Jagmeet Singh at least seems like he doesn't want to take strong action
00:09:37.240 against the Liberals until after he gets his pension sometime in 2025.
00:09:42.420 Because as you'll remember, Jagmeet Singh got in for, like, got into office earlier than the 2019,
00:09:50.240 like, general federal election since he had to run in a by-election to secure himself a seat as the
00:09:56.700 leader because he used to be an Ontario NDP MPP, a member of the provincial parliament.
00:10:02.140 He jumped over federal.
00:10:03.540 So around mid, I think it's like April or May, he then qualifies for his pension.
00:10:08.880 I'm not sure if that's what motivates Jagmeet Singh, but it's who cares if Pierre Polyev has a big
00:10:14.500 pension or not.
00:10:15.800 Guess what?
00:10:16.540 There are a bunch of NDP MPs who are going to get those pensions.
00:10:19.680 Are they going to give them up?
00:10:20.680 No, because it's obviously not the point of how big someone's pension is.
00:10:23.900 It depends on what you're willing to do to get that pension.
00:10:27.660 Pierre Polyev secured his pension a long time ago, and he doesn't act in motivation for his
00:10:32.420 pension.
00:10:33.360 Jagmeet Singh at least seems to.
00:10:35.380 I tend to believe that what motivates Jagmeet Singh more than his pension is actually just
00:10:39.560 the fact that the man is a massive narcissist. 0.50
00:10:42.080 He loves being on TV.
00:10:43.920 He wants it to be that when somebody, someone makes a documentary of the insanity of the liberal
00:10:49.340 government, whether you cover him positively or negatively, Jagmeet Singh gets to be in
00:10:54.860 the snapshot of history.
00:10:56.380 There's a lot of people in politics, and this is every single party, NDP, Greens especially,
00:11:01.760 because they have real no reason to exist.
00:11:03.920 PPC, liberal, conservative, whether they are elected officials or they just run for office.
00:11:08.880 Politics attracts a lot of people who just like being seen doing things.
00:11:13.400 And politics is, as we always hear, is show business for ugly people in a certain sense.
00:11:19.840 And I will agree with that.
00:11:20.780 I'm into politics.
00:11:22.160 And you get some people who really genuinely care about the principle.
00:11:25.940 I hope I'm considered one of those people.
00:11:28.320 You know, I'll take hits to myself in order to try and get something bigger achieved.
00:11:33.760 But a lot of other people just like the fact that they're, you know, when people, like,
00:11:38.840 you get to introduce yourself as an MP.
00:11:40.220 You get to introduce yourself as an important political person.
00:11:43.340 That's what Jagmeet Singh is in my mind.
00:11:45.860 I don't think there's anything else for me to cover on this, but I do want to just,
00:11:50.260 maybe this is a good thing.
00:11:53.100 Because this happened recently, and I got to say, if you're one of these people who has
00:11:58.660 turned yourself into a perennial protester, much of your life is now going around and
00:12:04.000 protesting different government officials in Ottawa, stop it.
00:12:07.840 If you want to make Jagmeet Singh, one of Canada's biggest political failures, more popular,
00:12:13.460 do what these guys did.
00:12:15.000 Go around protesting him in front of Ottawa and then immediately backing down when confronted
00:12:21.000 because you're acting like a tool.
00:12:23.240 But here we go.
00:12:24.120 Here's some of these protesters going after Jagmeet Singh here as he's walking on Parliament Hill.
00:12:29.940 What are you going to non-competent for tonight?
00:12:37.820 Because it came out?
00:12:39.540 Corrupted bastard.
00:12:42.740 Want to say something?
00:12:44.160 What?
00:12:44.540 Want to say something?
00:12:45.280 What did you say to me?
00:12:46.020 What did you say to that?
00:12:47.660 You got something to say?
00:12:48.660 I didn't say corrupted bastard, but I said...
00:12:50.560 Is that what you said?
00:12:50.900 No, no.
00:12:51.380 I did not say that.
00:12:52.780 You said it.
00:12:53.640 Somebody behind me said that.
00:12:54.820 What did you mean?
00:12:55.520 Was it you?
00:12:56.060 No.
00:12:56.540 You sure?
00:12:57.120 If it was me, I'd admit it, buddy.
00:12:58.040 Was it you or not?
00:12:59.720 Can we all also acknowledge here that that is the guy who said it?
00:13:04.320 And guess what?
00:13:05.180 And he is a coward.
00:13:06.460 Jagmeet Singh can be a bad person.
00:13:08.560 He's a flat-out sympathizer with Kalistani terrorists. 0.75
00:13:11.860 But don't do this.
00:13:13.760 It's annoying.
00:13:14.480 Don't go up to politicians, just chirp them and say,
00:13:16.840 hey, you're voting for on the no-confidence vote.
00:13:19.200 You corrupted so-and-so. 0.88
00:13:20.780 Stop it.
00:13:21.640 Stop.
00:13:22.140 What are you...
00:13:22.460 I guarantee these guys have never helped doorknock for a conservative campaign
00:13:26.220 or a PPC campaign.
00:13:27.500 I don't know what party they vote for.
00:13:29.080 Maybe they really like the pirate party of Canada, which indeed is a real thing.
00:13:33.380 You have to...
00:13:34.260 Like, I don't understand why people do this.
00:13:36.220 Frankly, and maybe a bunch of people are going to hate me for saying this,
00:13:39.440 the carbon tax protests where they just camp out on the side of the road for months.
00:13:43.920 Stop it.
00:13:44.820 What are you guys doing?
00:13:46.360 It gets attention for yourselves.
00:13:48.540 Is it getting attention?
00:13:49.480 Did you go sign people up to vote on specific issues?
00:13:52.620 Create a list?
00:13:53.680 Honestly, if you create a website and you camp out on the side of the street,
00:13:57.280 but you advertise the website to go sign up on an anti-carbon tax campaign, good.
00:14:01.700 But if you're only walking around acting like tough guys chirping people,
00:14:04.980 and then you can't even take ownership of your own words,
00:14:08.300 I don't sympathize with you.
00:14:10.380 And I'll let this finish up a little bit here.
00:14:12.660 And what I want to bring up here, too, which I find pretty low and despicable from the people who uploaded this,
00:14:37.360 because for some reason, the people who were shooting this footage,
00:14:40.960 who were the idiots chirping at Jagmeet, they thought he looked super good here.
00:14:45.700 And so they posted the clip.
00:14:48.920 And can I just say they just lied?
00:14:50.940 They just lied about what happened.
00:14:52.580 I'm trying to find the screenshot here.
00:14:55.240 Or I guess I can just kind of exit full screen so you can see this.
00:14:58.860 They actually labeled this clip, this video they uploaded,
00:15:04.400 Jagmeet Singh goes violent on Canadian citizens.
00:15:07.640 No, you guys acted like idiots, and you were called out for it.
00:15:12.200 I don't care that Jagmeet Singh is an annoying radical socialist who likes Kalistani terrorists 1.00
00:15:18.100 when you're being annoying.
00:15:19.760 Because guess what?
00:15:20.860 In the game of optics, you just lost hard.
00:15:23.880 You gave Jagmeet Singh a great moment,
00:15:26.020 and I guarantee that's actually going to help his approval rating.
00:15:28.400 So go home, play again next time, or at least go and do something useful.
00:15:33.580 I have no patience for people who just like doing obnoxious attention-seeking activism
00:15:39.460 without ever having a point of what they're trying to achieve.
00:15:43.460 Or are you going to walk up to Jagmeet and say,
00:15:45.240 you better vote for the no confidence on Justin Trudeau.
00:15:49.740 Are they going to do it?
00:15:51.140 Because you said something?
00:15:52.120 No, you're not.
00:15:52.880 Stop it.
00:15:53.560 Go home.
00:15:54.320 Do something else.
00:15:55.660 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:15:58.040 If you want to support the show, you can donate to the Give, Send, Go legal fund.
00:16:02.420 We have in the description below and pinned at the top of the comments.
00:16:05.500 And even though this isn't a video about British Columbia, guys,
00:16:09.040 if you live in BC, if you want to get the BC NDP out,
00:16:12.600 make sure to donate at least $100 to the BC Conservatives.
00:16:16.140 You get 75% of your money back, up to $100.
00:16:19.480 So it only cost you $25 to give John Rustad and BC Conservatives $100.
00:16:23.860 I have it linked in the description below, the Abbotsford South EDA, Bruce Bandman's riding.
00:16:29.760 That's where I'm campaign managing.
00:16:31.440 We're taking in as much money as possible, and we're handing out money to other ridings,
00:16:35.320 which we know are winnable.
00:16:36.880 And so we're acting kind of as a hub for the Fraser Valley and the rest of BC away from the Metro Vancouver area
