00:00:00.240 Oh, it's Jagmeet Singh time, everyone. He's done something as he destroyed the government.
00:00:08.220 Is there going to be an election in Canada? Have the stars aligned to bring forth the end of Justin Trudeau?
00:00:14.880 Oh, well, maybe.
00:00:16.740 So, Jagmeet Singh, who is the leader of our Communist Party, the NDP, has been in a pseudo-coalition with the Liberals for the last few years.
00:00:25.980 And he has put out a video now. He has come out. He has ripped up the deal. This is very significant.
00:00:32.360 It is equally as significant as me ripping up my deal with Elon Musk or Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton or whoever.
00:00:40.420 It's canceled. Whatever it is, it's now canceled. I've torn it all up.
00:00:44.440 That's essentially what just happened in Canada is Jagmeet Singh went on and did this. So what does it mean?
00:00:50.180 Now, if he votes against the Liberals in any confidence vote, so there's certain votes that if you don't have a majority to pass in the House of Commons, it's a non-confidence vote, and it will trigger an election.
00:01:02.060 So if you're in a minority government, you have to govern in a way that, you know, at least brings you a majority.
00:01:07.580 And very rarely do minorities make it to the end of the four years because eventually the majority votes against them. It triggers an election.
00:01:13.620 However, for the last few years, the Liberals and NDP have been in a bargain.
00:01:18.180 It's more the two leaders have entered into a Faustian bargain, where Justin Trudeau buys NDP support so he can stay in power.
00:01:25.460 He essentially gets cover for all his various scandals, you know, from the convoy on and all that.
00:01:32.120 And Jagmeet Singh gets to secure his pension and stabilize the NDP, which is still hemorrhaging money.
00:01:38.160 I know it's shocking to believe, but a party of socialists run by an even more immature neo-Marxist race socialist is not very good with their finances.
00:01:50.140 I'll take – you can all take a moment to process that one.
00:01:53.180 So Jagmeet Singh's horn up is his thing he put a video up.
00:01:56.500 Now, I would show you the video, but scientists say that 10 seconds of Jagmeet Singh talking will lose one IQ point, and the country cannot afford two minutes of Jagmeet Singh rambling on about nothing.
00:02:06.480 And to summarize, he's dealing – the Liberals are in bed with the corporations, which are all corporation-y, doing corporation-y things.
00:02:14.820 He will stop the corporations from increasing prices, basically pseudo-communist promises.
00:02:21.620 And then the rest is just, I have an answer.
00:02:23.640 It's love.
00:02:24.100 It's hope.
00:02:24.500 It's this.
00:02:24.880 It's that.
00:02:27.280 I think the best way to gauge Jagmeet's mindset is to see his tweet afterwards.
00:02:33.520 So here he is, you know, tweeting at Pier 5.
00:02:37.980 So this is a Twitter page.
00:02:38.760 You can see it's pronounced Jagmeet.
00:02:41.600 Let jump rise with hugs.
00:02:42.880 So we'll just call him Hugmeet as his fans do.
00:02:45.880 So Hugmeet says, ICPP has tweeted.
00:02:49.620 He sounds worried.
00:02:50.960 He should be a great man once provided the antidote to anger, hate, and division.
00:02:56.240 He spreads its love, hope, and optimism.
00:03:01.420 That's truly heartwarming.
00:03:02.800 Now, who is this great man?
00:03:04.460 We don't know.
00:03:05.240 Is he alluding to himself as a great man?
00:03:07.080 But this is sort of that empty – we're going to go on what Kamala Harris has done and just say hope, optimism, love, their hate, I'm love.
00:03:16.640 We'll get into this more, but that strategy only works if you have complete media compliance on your side.
00:03:24.680 Now, all right.
00:03:26.520 So is Canada getting an election?
00:03:27.560 That's a big thing.
00:03:28.120 If Jagmeet actually votes against Trudeau, yes, an election comes.
00:03:32.780 But Jagmeet says he has not said he's going to vote against Trudeau.
00:03:35.500 This could very well be politics where he's distancing himself – like Occam's razor here is the worst-case scenario.
00:03:40.000 What he's doing, likely, is distancing himself from the liberals, saying pseudo-communist nonsense, and then leveraging this into getting more from the liberals.
00:03:50.960 And would he really be getting more?
00:03:53.140 Probably not.
00:03:53.680 What he's probably leveraging is Justin Trudeau to pretend to give him something and say, thank you, Jagmeet Singh, for passing this whatever race-communist nonsense in the next budget, and then going from there.
00:04:05.200 And then likely – I mean, I'm still more than 50% sure we don't get an election until next October.
00:04:11.700 All right.
00:04:12.700 Now, could this be an election?
00:04:14.700 Maybe.
00:04:15.760 Maybe the pieces are in order to go for an election, and maybe the NDP does see benefit in it.
00:04:20.680 So why would the NDP trigger an election now?
00:04:23.500 Well, you can kind of game theory out of a scenario where the NDP and Jagmeet Singh actually advances his political career by becoming the official opposition under a conservative government.
00:04:33.800 Right?
00:04:33.960 Because if he's the official opposition, it gets increased funding and benefits for the NDP, which can save.
00:04:42.760 So if they say, you know what, we actually have this new pathway.
00:04:46.380 So we now have total chaos in the streets.
00:04:49.160 You know, post-October 7th, you have this really big rise in radical Islamists, right?
00:04:54.940 They're getting about the communists.
00:04:56.240 Jagmeet Singh's always been a hardcore Kalistani who's in bed with both of these. 1.00
00:04:59.680 He might do the calculation that, okay, if I run as a radical leftist, if I go into all the Muslim Brotherhood mega mosques and say, you know, sanction Israel, bomb Tel Aviv, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 0.87
00:05:11.520 I might be able to secure this vote of all the jihadis on the streets and all the crazies out there, right?
00:05:18.560 Pull the radicals deeply into the NDP, right?
00:05:20.740 Because the NDP really wants this radical base going forward.
00:05:24.800 They've been fighting with the liberals over these sort of like woke lunatics.
00:05:28.580 And the NDP might see this as the perfect opportunity to secure these woke lunatics from the other side by going fully down the rabbit hole in an election cycle right now.
00:05:37.880 And where the liberals are forced to be like, you know, oh, you know, we like Israel and we like Hamas and we like everyone and we like no one.
00:05:46.120 Whereas the conservatives sort of have clear messaging of sort of like, you know, we side with our allies over a terrorist organization.
00:05:53.420 The NDP can be like, we side with the terrorist organization over our allies.
00:05:57.000 And the liberals sort of forced to say, we love both terrorism and we like Jews.
00:06:02.840 And like it might not do so well for liberals.
00:06:07.780 So the NDP might see a sort of a hard line slot into that official opposition for the next four years.
00:06:13.240 And then the NDP is in a much better position because they can never gain power.
00:06:16.220 If the conservatives are in power and they're the official opposition, it might pull the party out of financial debts.
00:06:20.940 And who knows, there always might be infighting between Justin and Jackman.
00:06:24.620 So that's your thing there.
00:06:28.760 But the strategy that you said that you see right now, the positivity, as I said, that only works with full media coverage.
00:06:35.400 Like it would be – I mean, Jagmeet Singh is an unlikable person in general.
00:06:41.320 But Jagmeet's not an unknown quality.
00:06:42.800 He's been on the scene for many, many years.
00:06:45.180 It's not like he's sort of coming out of nowhere.
00:06:47.860 And substance over style works, again, if you have full media compliance.
00:06:52.500 The problem with the NDP is they get a lot of media cover, like 360 out of the 365 days most years because they're far-left lunatics.
00:07:02.280 So they get to say things like, we should institute communist price controls.
00:07:05.420 And the CBC will go, oh, yes, very interesting.
00:07:08.540 You know, sharp – and then they'll play like interesting.
00:07:11.300 And then they use that to give the liberals to say something a bit more reasonable.
00:07:15.520 So when the liberals say, you know, we just need a more feelings-based economy that bases in reality and socioeconomic blah, blah, blah.
00:07:23.880 So the liberal sort of nonsense jargon sounds more reasonable and composed to outright communist nonsense.
00:07:31.440 And the jargon seems more reasonable when you play the communist nonsense as more reasonable.
00:07:35.120 However, when it gets down to crunch time, one, the favorite of the media in Canada is always the liberal party.
00:07:44.780 They're the propaganda and the arm of the liberal party, which gives some support to the NDP sometimes.
00:07:49.480 So Justin is the ultimate, you know, lack of substance, you know, style of a substance guy.
00:07:56.020 You're not going to be able to play that from Jack Meep.
00:07:57.740 And if you do play complete lack of substance, you must have a media that's 100% willing to go along with this narrative fully for you.
00:08:08.860 And you'll never have that because you have hyper-partisan liberals within all these institutions as well.
00:08:14.700 So the liberals can get away with it because the hyper-partisan liberals control the media sphere.
00:08:19.600 The NDP sympathizers, yes, they're coddled and they're treated better than the conservatives, but they don't have a hegemony.
00:08:25.800 And they would never be able to just narratively blitz an election like they're planning to do.
00:08:30.980 So that seems like an insane strategy, but they might be so stupid and deluded that they see it working in the States, they think they can copy and paste it here.
00:08:39.140 That would track what they're thinking because they're socialists, they're dumb and unoriginals. 1.00
00:08:43.440 It may be there.
00:08:45.180 All in all, is Canada having an election soon?
00:08:48.520 Maybe, likely not.
00:08:50.440 But I, I, I, there's still more reasons to believe this is just Jagmeet Singh's political theater rather than an actual principled stand on anything.
00:09:02.400 It seems to be, he's distancing himself from the disastrous liberals because the liberals always screw up.
00:09:08.240 And then Jagmeet Singh says, how dare the liberals do this?
00:09:10.200 This is impressive.
00:09:10.820 And everyone goes, you're propping up the liberal government.
00:09:12.780 Like Jagmeet Singh is currently part of the liberal government.
00:09:14.880 So a lot of it is kabuki theater, in my opinion, to distance himself from the liberals while still doing the same things.
00:09:20.740 And then maybe in the next conference vote, making a lot of noise to force the liberals to give him some concessions on something, which he can then go claim victory for.
00:09:30.620 And maybe, maybe there's, I'd say, a 15% chance of handicap that he actually does see a, a positive electoral path for the NDP to get the second spot away from the liberals on hyper-partisan nonsense.
00:09:44.940 And, you know, he might think, okay, it's basically, the only way, the only thing I can see is it's a calculation on the Israel-Gasso war.
00:09:52.800 He's saying, okay, next year from now, I don't think the war will be going on.
00:09:56.440 I think this will be mostly settled.
00:09:57.460 I want to capitalize on the chaos right now and all the hyper-partisan Islamists and communists to fold into the party. 0.94
00:10:03.560 So better to do an election now and try and get them than wait.
00:10:07.680 So there's my two cents.
00:10:10.600 Will Canada have an election?
00:10:11.540 Hopefully.
00:10:12.140 Hopefully.
00:10:12.680 The best case scenario is we get an election, you know, the Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh are taken out on a landslide, which is what the polls say.
00:10:19.060 But you don't know what the internal party polls say.
00:10:21.880 And you never really know with Canadian leftists who very rarely believe things they don't want to believe.
