Summary
Jagmeet Singh is a loser assistant to Justin Trudeau, and the media love him for it. But is he actually a loser? Is he actually serious about what he's fighting for? Or is he just Justin Trudeau's loser assistant?

00:00:00.000
I absolutely love federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. He is so uniquely bad at politics,
00:00:07.720
he makes Canadian politics far more entertaining than it should be. It's only been two days since
00:00:13.900
he ripped up the supply and confidence agreement between his party and Justin Trudeau's federal
00:00:19.040
liberals, and the man's already folding in the face of basic questions from the media,
00:00:24.720
because he had no plan. What Jagmeet Singh saw in the polls is that his party has been absolutely
00:00:31.440
stagnant, if not underperforming. The liberals' support has collapsed. At last election,
00:00:37.520
they were at 33%, and now in many polls, they're only at 21%. And the NDP has basically hovered
00:00:44.120
around its polling from the last election, and Jagmeet Singh just needed to disconnect himself
00:00:50.280
from Justin Trudeau, because the main problem with Jagmeet Singh is people just see him as Justin
00:00:55.260
Trudeau's loser assistant. I think that's a line from Kian Bextie that I'm going to steal. It's a
00:00:59.700
great way of summing up Jagmeet Singh. He's just Justin Trudeau's assistant these days.
00:01:04.900
And so he wanted to rip up the supply and confidence agreement to show that he's a tough
00:01:09.200
guy. He's going to fight for labor and against the corporations or whatever silly NDP narratives
00:01:14.400
out there. And then the media start asking him, are you actually serious about this? And Jagmeet
00:01:20.160
Singh hadn't thought what to say if people actually ask him about triggering an election or voting
00:01:25.920
against Justin Trudeau in confidence motions or confidence votes, or if he's going to start
00:01:31.920
opposing his agenda. Because Jagmeet Singh, one, doesn't really oppose the agenda of Justin Trudeau.
00:01:37.540
The difference between the liberals and the NDP is the liberals want to burn a billion dollars,
00:01:42.840
and the NDP wants to burn $1.2 billion. They are only separated in the scale of big
00:01:49.780
policy that they want. They don't care if it's effective or not. It's frankly in the wheelhouse
00:01:54.400
of the liberals and the NDP to make bloated, useless programs and then just dicker over how
00:01:59.640
much it should cost. But here's a great clip of Jagmeet Singh being asked one of these basic
00:02:04.840
questions that he was not prepared for. I want to play two clips today. This one's a bit shorter,
00:02:09.220
and then I want to jump over to a CTV News interview by Vashik Fellows. Before I get into that,
00:02:14.240
just a couple things. One, go and follow Alex Zoltan, the amazing Zoltan, on Twitter. He's the
00:02:20.740
one who's been clipping some of this stuff with Jagmeet Singh. He's doing a really good job
00:02:25.120
of that. So I'm going to link his profile in the description below if you're on Twitter
00:02:29.540
slash X. And then also, I'm right now here in BC, and I just want to make sure that if any of you live
00:02:36.880
in BC, please donate to the BC Conservative Party. I have the Abbotsford South constituency
00:02:41.820
donation in the description of this video below. The only way that David Eby's NDP provincially is
00:02:48.720
going to hold on is if the Conservatives have way less money than them and the NDPs effectively rigged
00:02:54.820
how they can basically get taxpayers to hand them over money. So without further ado, let's get into
00:02:59.840
this clip of Jagmeet Singh. But again, if you're in BC, make sure you donate because we can't complain
00:03:04.860
if we lose if we have money. You've said about a dozen times at least that you've ripped up the
00:03:10.080
agreement and that that makes an election more likely. But you've been asked several times and
00:03:14.240
you won't answer. Do you have confidence in the Trudeau government as they stand now?
00:03:21.480
I will be clear again. We have absolutely ripped up the agreement with an election. It's more likely
00:03:26.180
that's not clear. You're immediately just cannot answer the question saying, well, I have ripped up
00:03:33.820
the agreement. Yeah, the journalist is aware of that. You've ripped up the agreement. But does this
00:03:38.080
mean anything? And then Jagmeet Singh just sort of slips in there. So you could say an election's
00:03:42.860
a little bit more likely than it used to be. Oh, shut up. Shut up. It's not. It's not. Jagmeet Singh,
00:03:48.060
one, Jagmeet Singh's NDP is broke. They don't even have the money to have an election. I know this
00:03:53.360
because I actually subscribe to the federal NDP email list every single day. They are begging for
00:03:59.840
money. Like all parties ask for money, but I've never seen it on the scale of desperation for the
00:04:05.580
federal NDP. At one point, they were trying to like show these radical empathy shirts. And I was
00:04:10.060
almost so tempted to donate to the NDP just to get one because it was so embarrassing to own. I will
00:04:14.840
like have it up behind me. But like the NDP has nothing to stand on here. And if Jagmeet Singh was
00:04:21.340
smart, it wouldn't matter if he had money or not. He would throw his weight around. He would say,
00:04:25.560
I'm willing to hit the nuclear button, even if it might hurt my party to go into an election,
00:04:29.240
just to hurt Justin Trudeau more to get what I want. I don't want Jagmeet Singh to get anything that he
00:04:34.140
wants because what he wants is somehow even worse than what Justin Trudeau is already doing.
00:04:38.540
But he has no political instinct. Jagmeet Singh is a perfect example of why smart people,
00:04:47.360
quote unquote, intellectuals are not very good at politics. He lacks the killer instinct to demand
00:04:53.100
what he wants and push forward for it, you know, hell or high water. This is why Donald Trump is
00:04:57.700
actually quite good at politics. Donald Trump is not very verbose in how he talks about politics,
00:05:02.480
but he he says what he wants. He's very serious about it. He pushes forward for it. That's how
00:05:07.080
like Donald Trump is, if any way, in in certain sense, describes things very dumbly at times.
00:05:13.420
But he's a good negotiator because he's good at getting the big ask. Jagmeet Singh can't even get
00:05:19.100
a small ask from Justin Trudeau. Election, whenever that election comes, we'll be ready to fight it.
00:05:25.560
Hi, Mr. Singh, Laura Stone, Globe and Mail. I think a lot of Canadians watching this right now might be a
00:05:30.880
bit baffled by the political posturing that's going on. You've propped up the government for two years.
00:05:36.480
Now, all of a sudden, they're terrible because of some vague notion of corporate greed. And you're refusing
00:05:41.260
to say whether you'll bring down the government at the first opportunity. What is the point of all this, sir?
00:05:47.500
We have been very clear. We accomplished some significant things for Canadians.
00:05:52.860
He's been very clear, guys. Jagmeet Singh's been very clear. Also, if he's been able to accomplish a lot of things
00:05:58.440
for Canadians, why are the Liberals bad? And she is right. It was just his tearing up the agreement
00:06:04.260
was predicated on the idea that the Liberals have sold out Canada to corporate greed and corporate
00:06:09.820
interests. Well, Jagmeet and Justin Trudeau have both been passing policies against price gouging and
00:06:16.920
all this stuff, this nonsense about the Canadian Grocery Code of Conduct, which is trying to blame
00:06:22.500
grocery stores for the inflation that Singh and Trudeau have caused. He's gotten everything he wants.
00:06:27.800
So yeah, he's literally pulling the trigger on ripping up this agreement over nothing.
00:06:32.640
He's gotten pretty much everything he wants. When I say everything he wants, I mean, in the sense that
00:06:37.160
Trudeau and him both want the same things, but he's never really gotten anything extra. He's not going
00:06:40.940
to push for anything extra because he's pathetic. And now Jagmeet is just sort of doing this whole
00:06:46.060
like kabuki theater about how, oh, we might end up, you know, an election might happen, blah, blah,
00:06:52.020
blah. Are you going to actually pull the trigger? And he's not even willing to say it.
00:06:54.740
If I was Jagmeet Singh, for some reason, I'm a stupid socialist in this world.
00:06:59.120
I would say a hundred percent we're pushing for a new election. We're going to try and get it as
00:07:03.020
soon as possible. Because guess what? Even if you don't want an election to happen, the Bloc
00:07:07.260
Quebecois doesn't want an election to happen just as much as the liberals. They've never had it any
00:07:12.080
better than they currently do. They don't want the conservatives to have a majority because the
00:07:16.300
Bloc loses its position in the government. Because whenever the NDP doesn't vote for something,
00:07:21.580
the Bloc tends to vote for it. So the Bloc gets a lot of concessions. So if I was Jagmeet Singh,
00:07:26.460
I would pretend every single day I want to have an election. I'm calling for confidence votes.
00:07:31.800
And then you actually seem like a pit bull. You seem like somebody who's actually going after
00:07:36.080
Justin Trudeau's job, that you're going to be the new left-wing leader in Canada. Still not,
00:07:41.780
because nobody likes the NDP. But still, that would be a smart way of doing it. But let's move on to
00:07:47.400
this absolutely disaster of an interview. So I'm just getting over being sick, so I sound a bit
00:07:51.660
strange. This disaster of an interview that he did with Vashi Kavelos, again, Alex Zoltan clipped
00:07:57.760
this. Make sure you go give him a follow. And once again, he just has nothing. Whenever he's being
00:08:03.680
asked questions, he just turns into platitudes. He is the most platitudinous politician I've ever
00:08:09.000
seen in my life. Everything's just vague statements, very nicely flowery worded statements
00:08:14.840
that actually don't mean anything. It is word salad.
00:08:19.180
Hi, Mr. Singh. Good to see you. Thank you so much for making the time.
00:08:23.720
In the comments you made today, you called the liberals in the government more specifically
00:08:37.820
They've abandoned Canadians and that they have led to endless disappointments.
00:08:45.080
Can you ever support them going forward after saying that?
00:08:49.620
Well, we've torn up the agreement with Justin Trudeau. I've torn that up.
00:08:52.740
You can't stop mentioning it. Yes, we know it. The agreement meant nothing.
00:08:56.500
And I know that that means election is more likely than before. And it was really clear
00:09:01.820
It's mounting evidence that Justin Trudeau and the liberals were just too weak to take
00:09:06.400
on corporate greed. They were too beholden to corporate interests to stop big corporate
00:09:10.720
grocery stores and corporate landlords from ripping people off.
00:09:14.120
But ripping up the agreement is just ending the formality of it. You explicitly said, for
00:09:17.740
example, in that video that you will continue to consider whether or not to support the government
00:09:21.960
on matters of confidence on a case-by-case basis. Again, I'll put the question to you.
00:09:26.880
You have told Canadians they are weak, they are selfish, that they have abandoned the
00:09:30.980
very people who put them in office. You just described a host of reasons why you don't
00:09:34.880
want to be a part of any formal agreement. How can you reconcile for Canadians watching
00:09:38.600
now that you're still willing to vote with them and keep them in power on a case-by-case
00:09:44.520
Well, I don't know what the votes are going to be.
00:09:47.820
He's so bad at this. He's so bad at this. He is a weakness personified. This is only a little
00:09:53.420
bit of this video. So maybe if you guys go and follow The Amazing Zoltan on Twitter, that
00:09:57.900
will be the link in the description below for him. So you can go follow him and then
00:10:00.940
go watch the rest of that. He doesn't know what to do in the position that he's currently
00:10:05.260
in. He is a turtle up on top of a fence post. He doesn't know why he's up there. He doesn't
00:10:10.160
know how to get down, but he's going to pretend that this was all according to plan. And even
00:10:14.680
when he first pitched the Supply and Confidence Agreement a couple of years ago, he did it
00:10:19.460
under the guise that, well, it's not a formal coalition. We're not a coalition government.
00:10:24.680
We'll work on a case-by-case basis. And in order to keep the government together, Justin
00:10:29.080
Trudeau will give me some of what I want. Well, I don't even really see how Justin Trudeau
00:10:32.920
violated that agreement. It's a stupid agreement. It's bad for Canadians in general. But from
00:10:37.520
a pure just political strategy point of view, he didn't even really wait for a moment where
00:10:43.100
Justin Trudeau betrays the NDP and doesn't give them what they want. If I was NDP, I would
00:10:47.760
have made like an audacious ask and then have Justin Trudeau deny it and make it along some
00:10:53.700
sort of corporate theme or whatever. And then I would pull out of the agreement and say,
00:10:58.080
Justin Trudeau has betrayed the agreement. I'm out and I'm going to vote against them in the next
00:11:02.540
confidence potion. And then knowing that the block's probably going to prop them up so it
00:11:06.140
changes nothing. He won't do that. He's just bad at this. Jagmeet Singh couldn't score on an
00:11:12.760
open net. This guy doesn't know what he's doing. He lacks confidence. I'm not a particularly
00:11:18.440
confident guy. I'm not like super charismatic, but I could at least talk the talk a little bit
00:11:24.620
when it comes to being like being able to pull off the aggressive political fighter type,
00:11:30.540
like a persona. Jagmeet Singh can't. He comes off like some sort of downtown Toronto,
00:11:36.520
Metropolitan Ponce. He is not very good at politics. It's startling. Justin Trudeau is way
00:11:44.220
better than Jagmeet Singh and Justin Trudeau sucks. But Justin Trudeau has energy. Jagmeet Singh has
00:11:49.460
like uncomfortable, you know, elite nervousness. He doesn't like he belongs in a wine bar showing
00:11:57.360
people his new watch. That's where he belongs. He does not belong on primetime television talking
00:12:02.480
about political stuff. Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys. I will be back later today
00:12:09.080
with another video. Make sure to donate if you're in BC to the BC Conservatives. I have a link in the
00:12:15.080
description below. It's for Abbotsford South, but what we're doing is taking in money. We don't need
00:12:19.060
a lot to win this riding. What we're going to do is then package up funds that we get and send it out
00:12:23.660
to ridings that are in need. It makes sure that we actually target cash to the areas where we can beat
00:12:29.500
an NDP incumbent and put in a conservative trying to go for that majority victory. It's very clear
00:12:35.140
we can win in BC. We just need a little bit more money to be able to get the volunteers out, the
00:12:40.260
literature, the signs, because money doesn't control politics, but signs still cost 10 bucks. You know,
00:12:46.180
we don't need $100,000 to win a riding, but we need enough to be able to purchase enough signs to be
00:12:51.580
able to get the vote out. Anyways, so you can also donate to the give, send, go we have for
00:12:58.100
the National Telegraph. Sorry, again, I'm really, really sick right now. But if you guys donate to
00:13:03.980
that, it really helps us out in the legal battle we're in with this silly Chinese billionaire suing
00:13:08.520
us for defamation that he can't prove. So if you don't live in BC and you can't donate to the BC
00:13:13.000
Conservatives, think about donating to that. And, you know, make sure you go and follow Amazing Zoltan
00:13:17.680
on X in the description below. And that should be pretty much it for me today, guys. Have a good one.
