Jagmeet Singh is the most embarrassing man in Canadian politics, and I'm here to talk about it. I mean, come on, it's no secret that he's a terrible politician, but what's even worse is that he doesn't seem to know how to actually run a campaign. He's more interested in being on camera and being lauded by media elites, and he loves the attention he gets from them, so why is he so bad at politics?
00:00:00.000This video may seem like political blasphemy because it seems to imply that Justin Trudeau isn't the absolute worst, but I can assure you all, Justin Trudeau is the worst, but at the same time, Jagmeet Singh is the most embarrassing man in Canadian politics.
00:00:14.000It's wild watching him persist on as the NDP's leader after abysmal failures for the NDP in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
00:00:23.300I guess Jagmeet Singh's special power is he can convince his base that they're rocketing towards the sun in terms of success when he's really just been plowing them into a wall for the past several years of his leadership.
00:00:34.600Like from a conservative's perspective, like my own, I love watching the NDP and the liberals fail.
00:00:39.620It's really funny. But at the same time, from a strategic perspective, it's really frustrating watching just how bad Jagmeet Singh is at politics.
00:00:47.180Right now, the NDP is arguably in one of the best positions they've ever been in, in order to gain more support, like probably ever since Jack Layton's second place finish in 2011.
00:00:59.320Right now, Jagmeet Singh could have Justin Trudeau over a barrel. He could be getting a bunch of the NDP's agenda passed.
00:01:05.480He could be rising in the polls by criticizing Trudeau, threatening elections and seeming like a strong leader who could actually be able to beat the conservatives in the next election while Justin Trudeau's time is over.
00:01:16.120But Jagmeet Singh takes none of the initiative. He is, for some reason, more scared of an election than Justin Trudeau.
00:01:22.080Jagmeet Singh has like nothing to lose from an election. He could actually gain support if he would just posture himself as being friendlier to the idea of an election.
00:01:30.400But he doesn't. So everyone thinks he's a complete phony, probably because he is.
00:01:34.880But and it's not just from a strategic point of view that Jagmeet Singh doesn't seem to be able to know how to exploit the political opportunities set in front of him.
00:01:43.680From an imagistic point of view, he just doesn't know how to lead a party like his own.
00:01:48.840The NDP is a socialist trade unionist party.
00:01:53.120And from a strategic point of view, he's been alienating his unionized base in favor of like college students, like woke university students, which is a stupid thing to do.
00:02:02.860At the same time, he's also doing the sort of champagne socialist routine, while at the same time he's arguing against corporate power and wanting to go after grocery giants or whatever.
00:02:12.460He's walking around with Rolex watches on wearing expensive, you know, like Canada goose coats and carrying a Versace bag.
00:02:20.400And you'll have some of his allies in the media like attack people.
00:02:23.900Are you saying a brown man can't carry a Versace bag?
00:02:26.580Who said that? Like I'm responding specifically to Erica.
00:02:29.860I think, yeah, Erica Iffel's stupid contention that people are racist for criticizing Jagmeet Singh's like high fashion tastes.
00:02:38.180But when you're literally leading a socialistic party, you probably shouldn't come off as the most elite man in the room.
00:02:46.160Jagmeet Singh, though, loves being on camera and he loves just like he loves just sort of being lauded by sort of media elites.
00:02:55.260So the thing is, he kind of acts like media elites because he just loves the attention he gets from them, which is just, again, for his party, which is all about supposedly supposed to be about working class Canadians.
00:03:06.800He just embarrasses the party by putting on a brand of like a super elite party meant for people who live in high rises in the GTA.
00:03:15.220Anyways, I want to get to some of his recent posts on Twitter because it just every time he opens his mouth to actually talk about policy, he just demonstrates that outside of watching a couple of online leftists sort of BS about politics, he doesn't actually know anything about the issues.
00:03:34.020He just knows effective rhetoric to use on sort of these college educated crowds who want to hear politicians sort of use more revolutionary, progressive rhetoric.
00:03:46.340He just knows rhetoric, nothing about policy itself.
00:03:49.060So he was recently at some sort of like NDP conference and he uploaded a video from it and it was just not very good.
00:03:56.340He's been doing this weird WWE sort of fight between him and Galen Weston from Loblaws, assuming that somehow like Canadians are going to flock to him because he's fighting grocery giants when he just lies.
00:04:10.460He just lies and he gets exposed for the lies so often.
00:04:13.360He tried to imply and he keeps implying that the grocery chains are making record profits when he includes a bunch of like assets that they've sold off, like, you know, like literal gas stations that Loblaws' parent company sold to or it was like Sobeys to imply that the company was making record profits when they've actually been losing money over time.
00:04:35.980They just had this one blip on their, uh, they just had this one blip in one of their quarters because they sold a bunch of real estate, which is obviously only a one-time thing, but here's him talking about it.
00:04:46.660While you're paying even more every time you visit a grocery store, it's getting harder and harder for you.
00:04:52.860CEOs like Galen Weston are doing just fine.
00:06:04.300The liberals were sort of cherry picking a few items that sort of stabilized in their prices over time and only stabilized because they've sort of stopped spending as much money as they used to.
00:06:16.620Jagmeet Singh's plan is literally what the liberals' plan is.
00:06:19.620It's throwing money at people, inflating the prices of food by just handing out free money, or then trying to then freeze prices at the grocery stores, which is effectively the government trying to come in and operate grocery stores for themselves.
00:06:33.140But he goes on about these people like Galen Weston making record profits, and look how much money Galen Weston personally has.
00:06:39.640Jagmeet Singh, give up some of your money if being rich is a bad thing.
00:06:43.140You're literally wearing a double-breasted suit, man.
00:06:46.120You are the most pretentious person in politics.
00:06:49.560But, like, you could literally swap him out with any left-wing Twitch streamer.
00:06:54.280It would be pretty much the same thing.
00:06:55.580He's literally gone on Twitch streams with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Hassan Piker, the guy who said America deserves 9-11 and is extremely anti-Semitic in his coverage of these Israel issues.
00:07:08.660But, of course, Jagmeet Singh strategically avoids actually saying what he would do on any of these issues.
00:07:14.800I would say that's one of the smart things that he does.
00:07:17.640Avoiding what he's going to do is probably the way of keeping the most credibility that he can.
00:07:22.260Once he starts talking about his actual plans, that's when Canadians realize that his ideas are that of a freshman college student who took one class in basic economics, did okay, and assumes that that somehow validates their socialist economics, even though an economics class doesn't actually validate socialist theories at all.
00:07:45.080If you actually take enough economics, you kind of grow quite tired of hearing people argue in favor of socialism.
00:07:49.920I've never been in favor of socialism, but I have multiple professors in my undergraduate who would call out students who would stump for socialism in class because they didn't know what they were talking about when it came to economic efficiency.
00:08:47.020But I've spoken to a lot of people who told me, if you build a whole bunch more luxury homes or luxury condos, that's not going to help me out right now because I can't afford those luxury condos.
00:08:56.540So if we're going to use our public land, we should use every square foot of public land to be public land that's used for affordable homes.
00:09:04.680And that affordability has to be a big factor.
00:09:07.380The people I spoke to tell me, we need it to be affordable, something that we can actually manage to afford to buy or to rent.
00:09:12.860So then what needs to be in place in order to make that stipulation?
00:09:15.660Because developers are going to develop things that are going to give them profit.
00:09:19.340So it's the requirement of affordability.
00:09:21.860There could be funding to make that, to achieve that.
00:09:23.780There could be incentives to achieve that.
00:09:25.680But the definition for the land that's being developed, if you want to use public land, the requirement has to be we'll provide this public land, we'll provide incentives.
00:09:34.820But the outcome has to be that the project that's being built has to be affordable or we're not going to support it.
00:09:40.300Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said in October, the government's current spending plans, are his words, were not helpful for fighting inflation.
00:09:47.560How do you think you can accomplish your goals on housing and pharmacare without also increasing inflation?
00:09:54.440One of the things we noticed is that the inflation, right now the inflation that we're experiencing, a major driver is actually the cost of housing.
00:10:01.060If you look at the breakdown, it's groceries is one big factor.
00:10:04.540And the other factor is the cost of housing.
00:10:06.960Building homes that people can afford is actually going to fight inflation.
00:10:10.320We can bring down the cost for rent, the cost to own a home.
00:10:13.800That's one of the right now major drivers.
00:10:20.460She's just saying, OK, the Liberals' plans in terms of trying their affordable housing plans, their grocery price plans, all this other stuff, it requires a lot of spending of money.
00:10:30.800And someone from the Bank of Canada said that this is all going to be – this is all not helpful when it comes to reducing inflation.
00:10:37.660How are you not going to raise inflation while you're trying to do all this affordable home stuff and whatnot?
00:10:43.240And his actual answer is, well, you know, that housing costs are one of the biggest factors in inflation.
00:10:52.360So if we have affordable housing, it will help reduce inflation.
00:10:57.340I'm like, but you realize all of your plans imply that taxpayers are going to have to pay more money in order to put a small minority of people in affordable housing.
00:11:07.400And let's say what affordable housing is.
00:11:50.120That's a tax cut for the rich because he demonizes Polly for wanting corporate tax cuts and income tax cuts on all levels in order to lower the prices of things.
00:11:59.560But so what's Jagmeet Singh's incentive?
00:12:02.240So give the money from Canadian taxpayers, including those who are in need of cheaper housing, to a developer to build cheaper housing, in which case, even if that person who needs the affordable housing gets it, they've already paid so much in tax dollars towards building the stuff that they pretty much could have just probably bought another house that was a little bit more expensive anyways.
00:13:06.360It's just kind of, it's just idealism.
00:13:09.300And at the same time, he's trying to achieve this idealism by exacerbating the problems that don't allow everyone to live a more ideal lifestyle.
00:13:17.960If you keep taxing and spending, you are going to actually hurt the poorest the most.
00:13:23.880It's the rich who can actually weather inflation the best.
00:13:27.480It's people who are living in small apartments who only have minimum wage jobs, who cannot afford for things on the grocery shelves to go up another 3%, 4% over a year because they're already at their limit.
00:13:38.800Giving them some rent controlled apartment is not going to help things because everything is going to be inflated so much more to get them into that rent controlled apartment.
00:13:47.440This man does not know what he's talking about.
00:13:49.640And it's so embarrassing watching this journalist.
00:13:52.540And even though, again, I want him to fail, but this journalist is sitting there asking him basic questions.
00:13:57.760I guarantee he would imply that she was being too aggressive.
00:14:00.920But she's asking him basic questions and he's struggling so much to figure out how his plans are any different than Trudeau's.
00:14:08.180His thing with Trudeau is that he'll never criticize Trudeau's plans because he doesn't know really what's wrong with them.
00:14:14.100He just says they don't go far enough.
00:14:15.740So really, he should be saying Trudeau's doing a good job.
00:14:18.120He should just do it more, but that's not exactly a great pitch.
00:14:21.860So he has to imply that he's also somehow like a stooge to like grocery store chains and rich developers or whatever.
00:14:29.020But that's the funny thing is when he's going after developers because developers in the public land, they can't exploit to build all this luxury apartment buildings and whatnot.
00:14:38.160And then like, but then he still has to acknowledge he desperately needs the developers to make any of his plans work.
00:14:43.480And this is the contradiction of socialists in general is that they demonize the free market, but at the same time, they still need to harness the power of the free market to get anything done.
00:14:53.160Even in like the Soviet Union, they effectively had to take over the private privately run businesses in order to even get the Soviet Union running.
00:15:03.000Those idiots would have never been able to get a single factory up, but they had to start from scratch.
00:15:06.940They were still having to stand on the shoulders of giants, and then they slowly drove that country into the ground.
00:15:13.500Anyways, but this is why I think that Jagmeet Singh is a completely embarrassing person.
00:15:18.540The funny thing is you can go through Jagmeet Singh's Twitter feed, his ex-feed, and all the things he's like posting, other than that last interview, he's posting it himself.
00:15:28.360He does not understand that his kind of like college, 18-year-old college white girl political positions are not appealing to Canadians.
00:15:37.140He's only at 22% in the polls, not because he's succeeding, but it's just because Justin Trudeau is failing hard.
00:15:43.840I just made a video recently, Canada's biggest loser, Justin Trudeau or Jagmeet Singh, where I kind of personally concluded Jagmeet Singh is more embarrassing.
00:15:51.820Because he could easily get 26%, 27%, 28% in the polls.
00:15:55.700He could be in a Jack Layton position for the next election, but he chooses not to because he's focused on fashionable things, fashionable bags, fashionable watches, fashionable political positions.
00:16:07.780But the thing is with fashionable political positions is that they're usually only fashionable with people online who don't even vote in the first place.
00:16:14.320So, you know, good riddance to Jagmeet Singh's political career a couple years early.
00:16:19.520He's probably not going to be around after a few years, which we can all look forward to.
00:16:24.500But until then, I'm just reminding you all, I have my legal fundraiser linked in the description of this video.
00:16:29.700I'm $25,000 deep into my lawsuit defending myself from a billionaire.
00:17:25.700I also have my website for my campaign linked in the description next to Whiteford or Calgary Signal Hill.
00:17:31.360So go check that out if you want to sign up for email updates about my campaign or if you want to volunteer, donate, do anything like that.
00:17:38.880Other than that, I'll see everyone in my next video.
