Jagmeet Singh is a political clown. He doesn t know what he's doing, but he thinks he can get away with his own political play this week. And it just didn't work, and now he's whining about it.
00:00:46.800Well, Jagmeet Singh, as we all know, was supporting the Liberals' play on this from the very beginning,
00:00:52.520attacking the Conservatives for not voting for it and saying that this is going to be a great bit of tax relief for Canadians.
00:00:58.960Until he started getting called out for basically just helping the Liberals pull a bait and switch on increasing the carbon tax greatly in April.
00:01:08.460And using this short two-month tax break on the GST-HST as a way of trying to buy goodwill for later.
00:01:16.660And then Singh suddenly pops out and says, actually, we should be making the GST freeze permanent for certain essential items.
00:01:23.520And I can even kind of agree with that.
00:01:27.340Although I'm wondering why he hasn't voted to get rid of the carbon tax or he hasn't voted to lower any other tax throughout his entire career.
00:01:35.800This is obviously all just a momentary bit of opportunism on Singh's part.
00:01:41.600And now he is trying to, I guess, talk about or shame other parties because they didn't vote for his last-minute proposal.
00:01:50.060But I'll let Jagmeet Singh characterize what happened.
00:01:53.440So he says, today, Pure Poly, I've had a chance to permanently cut the GST tax on essentials.
00:02:47.000It's almost like you tried to throw a curveball at the last second, and you also have no power, so nobody has to care.
00:02:53.100Speaker, during this important vote for the NDP to ensure that the GST was taking off family essentials and home heating and telecom, the leader of the official opposition ran away.
00:03:06.920The NDP have just become the opposition to the opposition.
00:03:10.820Was Justin Trudeau present for the vote?
00:03:12.760I don't know, but Jagmeet Singh doesn't care if Trudeau was president or not, because Jagmeet Singh only cares, apparently, about what the conservatives are doing.
00:03:22.060He'll criticize the liberals all day long in front of, like, press conferences, in front of podiums, but when it actually comes down to doing something to hurt the liberals to extract some sort of benefit for your own party, he always, like, wimps out.
00:03:36.900He was posting for the last three days that, well, I'm going to have a vote on this on Monday or Tuesday.
00:03:42.880I think they end up having to push it to Tuesday, but we're going to have a vote on making the GST freeze permanent on essential items, and the people better pay attention.
00:03:53.820I'm not backing down, and then his whole thing gets defeated, and then Jagmeet Singh just leaves.
00:04:44.200It didn't have the guts, or you are an especially insignificant person, and he doesn't care about your power play at the last minute to pretend as if you're standing up for working-class Canadians and middle-class people trying to make ends meet.
00:05:01.280Jagmeet Singh could have said, you know what?
00:05:03.080I'm going to vote in favor of the no-confidence motion unless Trudeau gets down here, and he tells me that he will vote to make this permanent, this GST cut permanent for all these essential items.
00:05:14.640He didn't do it because Jagmeet Singh lacks a backbone.
00:05:19.600Yesterday, we put a vote to the House to permanently take the GST off of the daily expenses and monthly votes.
00:05:26.660By the way, it is not me making these sounds.
00:05:29.080This is actually what he and the five-year-olds who edit his videos decided to include here.
00:05:34.540With your cell phone bill, your internet bill, your home heating bill, your daily essentials like clothing for kids, diapers, snow seats for kids, and if you go to the grocery store, grab-and-go food.
00:05:46.600And the conservatives voted against it.
00:07:39.800Jagmeet Singh is there to carry Justin Trudeau on his back through all of these votes.
00:07:44.860And Jagmeet Singh doesn't want the government to collapse.
00:07:47.800He is more invested in Trudeau's government staying solvent because his party is broke.
00:07:54.100His MPs want their pensions in October of 2025.
00:07:57.780And Jagmeet Singh is, frankly, just motivated because he likes being the center of attention.
00:08:03.620Every once in a while, he gets to pretend to be tough on Trudeau.
00:08:07.440And all the legacy media companies come over with their giant cameras and film Jagmeet Singh.
00:08:14.220And their audience is about 12 people get to watch Singh sitting there saying, well, Justin Trudeau is not fit to be prime minister.
00:08:22.140This government is killing for corporations and billionaires.
00:08:25.940And then he does absolutely nothing because Jagmeet Singh's motivation is just merely to have that soundbite, but not actually act on any of the threats that he sort of makes.
00:08:38.820Yeah, so Jagmeet Singh is still impossibly stupid and still extremely bad at politics.
00:08:44.560I think it would have been good for Canadians to get some GST tax relief permanently.
00:08:50.040But Jagmeet Singh fumbled the ball because this had nothing to do with tax relief and it only had to do with him grandstanding.
00:08:57.180Anyways, that's it for me today, guys.
