Jagmeet Singh walks himself back into the fold of the liberal government, but is it too late to save the country from Trump's trade tariffs? Is he back on board now that he's in power?
00:00:00.000Ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to report to you today that we, in fact, live in the movie Groundhog's Day, and we are never getting out.
00:00:10.180But federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is no longer voting no confidence in the liberal government because, hey, he's got to prop them up at least one more time, baby, because he has to help out Mark Carney or Chrystia Freeland, whichever one it's going to be, pass a relief package because for some reason we need a trade war with the United States.
00:00:34.100You know, we could maybe just, you know, increase border security, invest more in our military and call the bluff of the Trump administration that we've done enough to dissuade a tariff.
00:00:48.120But no, we're not going to do any of that. We, as the smaller economy, a country the 10th of the size of the United States, with them as our primary trade partner, we are going to go for a dollar for dollar tariff response.
00:01:01.560This is monumentally stupid. But what do you expect? I'm going to start from the top of this story. Please help me. Like the video. Subscribe to the channel.
00:01:15.920I'm being driven clinically insane by the repetition of Canada's news cycle. This happens like every month. Jagmeet Singh, I'm not helping Justin Trudeau anymore. He's betrayed us.
00:01:25.860Well, I need to help him to stop the conservatives. So we're voting confidence in the government. I can't stand this guy anymore. Not only is Justin Trudeau awful, but whoever replaces him is not going to be any different.
00:01:39.520Well, we need to pass relief package. But here's the top.
00:01:43.420So Melanie Jolie is going down to the United States, to Washington, to talk to Secretary of State Marco Rubio about how best Canada and the U.S. can avoid tariffs.
00:01:55.960Wow, I can't believe she's such a traitor to the country. Or at least this is what I've been hearing about Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, which is asinine.
00:02:04.020She was quarterbacking Canada's entire reputation with the United States by going down to Viral Lago and going to Trump's inauguration and not being a twit and insulting him all the time.
00:02:15.020Do you know why Trump's been fairly rude to Canada over the past few months?
00:02:19.180It's almost like our federal liberal government has been basically using him as a bad word against their opponents for four years now.
00:02:26.680And now it's come to bite them in the butt. Should this be how Trump acts?
00:02:30.540No, we don't live in a perfect world. And so I don't like whenever the liberal media and even conservatives will be like, I can't believe Trump is doing this to us.
00:02:39.260You can't? You can't? Get out of the commentary business then.
00:02:43.980And we can easily avoid this. We can still avoid this. The whole point is Jolie is going down to try and avoid this.
00:02:50.600And my friend J.J. McCullough posted this today, and he is absolutely right.
00:02:56.080And he's commenting above the CDC article that says, Singh suggests NDP could help liberals pass Trump tariff relief.
00:03:02.540And J.J. says, well, there it is. The NDP is back to negotiating with the liberals.
00:03:07.300And yes, this is all trying to slow walk themselves into backing another liberal, like, no confidence motion.
00:03:15.560That they are going to support the liberals through it and defy the conservatives.
00:03:19.060Which, honestly, this all helps the conservatives in the next federal election, because this is so sleazy.
00:03:25.900Singh's really doing this because, one, NDP fundraising is abysmal.
00:03:31.240Who knew socialists were bad with money? Couldn't tell me that.
00:03:36.160And then the second thing is Singh's actually probably going to lose his re-election into whichever riding he runs in in Burnaby.
00:03:41.840His original riding was cut in half. And now either riding he runs in, at best, he has like a 50-50 of winning.
00:03:48.800And these days it's probably gone down from there.
00:03:51.220But here is Singh now walking himself back, talking himself back into a liberal NDP alliance.
00:03:59.300If Trump follows through on his plan with tariffs, would you keep the liberals in power
00:04:03.220and allow for the passage of a work relief program before supporting a non-incompetence motion?
00:04:08.440I'll just start off by the fact that I've spoken with a lot of workers who are deeply worried about what the Trump tariffs might mean.
00:04:17.380They say, you know, sometimes I lay awake at night saying, if that tariff goes through, do I lose my job?
00:04:23.200You've been steering into it. So thanks, Jagmeet. Thanks for making these workers anxious.
00:04:27.660What's going to happen to my kids? What's going to happen to my family?
00:04:30.680When we think about the analysis that's out there, if those Trump tariffs come in place,
00:04:34.640there are hundreds and thousands of Canadian jobs at risk.
00:04:39.140Think about what that means for those workers, hundreds of thousands of workers, for their families, for those communities.
00:04:45.200This could be devastating for our country.
00:04:48.020So we do need to have a plan in place to support those that are impacted, those businesses, those workers, most importantly.
00:04:55.140I have not had any conversations with other opposition leaders.
00:04:58.480I think we need to come together to have a discussion about what is the best way forward.
00:05:01.440I've not had any discussions with the government related to this.
00:05:05.700If there is any desire to move forward, the government should call us together, like we did during COVID, and discuss a plan that supports workers.
00:05:13.760We, as a party of working people, a party founded by workers, want to make sure that there's a plan in place for workers.
00:05:20.200It's why we said from the beginning, EI is clearly not up to the task.
00:05:24.580During the pandemic, we realized EI does not cover the majority of Canadian workers.
00:05:40.200The bureaucracy can work with it, but we're still having an election.
00:05:43.160He will not commit to a new election at all.
00:05:46.920And again, his backup excuse is, well, Doug Ford, Doug Ford, who is a complete political hack.
00:05:52.440By the way, guys, if you live in Ontario, vote for the new blue party.
00:05:55.720Doug Ford has literally backed the Liberals on every stupid subsidy program and green energy boondoggle that the Liberals have invested money in.
00:06:04.740They even backed the Liberals on the stupid cricket factory because Ford has no integrity.
00:06:10.720Anyways, also think about running for the new blue party if they don't have a candidate in your riding.
00:06:54.220This isn't an emergency where you have put forward something that's really audacious, that people are saying, we didn't vote for this, so we need a new election.
00:07:02.460And I'm pretty sure the cards were all it was always in the cards that the premier might have to negotiate with, like, governors in the US or maybe the president or be in part involved in trade talks between the Canadian federal government and the US government.
00:07:17.540This isn't something that requires a new election at all.
00:07:41.540To lower income taxes, lower business taxes, lower business regulations, make it easier to do business here, that it doesn't matter if the Trump administration puts tariffs on Canada.
00:07:52.140If they just did it out of nowhere, we're still the easier place to do business.
00:07:56.100We are vulnerable to tariffs because it already sucks to do business in Canada.
00:08:00.580And having more robust EI is not going to help anyone.
00:08:04.360And many workers lying awake at night saying, am I going to lose my job or not?
00:08:09.020So I hope that there is a plan moving forward.
00:08:11.600Well, at least Jagmeet Singh appears to be losing his job.
00:08:16.300Thank you for True North for clipping that.
00:08:18.060Obviously, as a solo individual, I can't stay up on all of it.
00:08:21.360Give them a follow because they're doing all the work clipping this stuff.
00:08:25.940This is the current polling for this area of British Columbia.
00:08:30.980I believe this is his current riding in Burnaby Central, or I think he might be in another Burnaby riding because, again, it's been so split up in that area of BC federally that it's really hard to get a reading on which riding Singh would be more naturally running in because his riding, literally half the riding is in one new riding and half the riding is in another new riding.
00:08:51.280Look at this, safe BC for South Langley Abbotsford.
00:08:55.600I'm just mentioning this one, even though that's not close to where he's running.
00:08:58.140But this entire area, all of BC is currently blue.
00:12:36.920They are absolute buffoons who think that every opportunity to tax people is a good idea.
00:12:43.900Every opportunity we get to bring them in more government revenue, that's great because it might help a client of Tyler Meredith out there because he can get them a targeted industrial business support or whatever.
