Jagmeet Singh is the new Prime Minister of Canada, and he's doing pretty well in the polls, but he's not getting much love from his own party. So what's going on with the rest of the country?

00:00:00.160
Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I've been pretty clear that I don't see the current rise in the
00:00:06.640
polls for the Liberal Party as being something they're going to be able to hold on to in the
00:00:10.600
long run. The news cycle just doesn't really support it. There's nothing really going on
00:00:15.320
society that would suggest that people are going to rush back to voting for the Liberals. But the
00:00:21.380
one thing that's really funny about the current increase in the Liberals polling is how much
00:00:26.920
it's demonstrating the weakness of the NDP under Jagmeet Singh. This is the last poll that just
00:00:33.700
came out from Palace. And again, I don't actually think the Liberal Party can hold up at a 34%.
00:00:39.880
This poll, when you actually look at the regionals, was pretty wonky, with some regions looking pretty
00:00:45.880
accurate to what they had been previously showing in other polls. But then like BC voting very
00:00:51.080
like liberal or Manitoba voting very liberal. That's where I'm not quite sure that this is going to
00:00:56.180
really hold up or if it's quite accurate right now. Even then, the Conservatives are still above 40%.
00:01:01.860
But anyways, the NDP here are at 12%. And I've seen Main Street polls, again, not sure about the
00:01:08.980
accuracy, but I think that the general direction is correct. That in Ontario federal polls, the NDP is
00:01:15.420
polling at 9%. That's scary considering the NDP in many places like Metro Toronto, like the GTA in Northern
00:01:29.820
Ontario Ridings and Southern Ontario Ridings, they have a lot of bright spots. Hamilton, they're able to
00:01:35.180
win seats. But like, based on some of the recent polling, they might be trying to hold on to maybe 10 of
00:01:41.900
their current federal seats. Some people's polling models, in fact, are showing the NDP with zero seats.
00:01:48.860
Sheree Attith's new model, based on the Palace poll, with 12% puts them at zero. Again, that's where I do
00:01:56.940
doubt the accuracy of Palace a little bit, because I don't think that you're going to be able to push the NDP
00:02:02.860
below 15% in this new election cycle. But the thing is, we've seen this in previous polling, the NDP's own base,
00:02:10.140
people who are saying that in 2025, they are certain to vote NDP. Half of the people who are
00:02:16.700
still voting NDP think Jagmeet is the wrong leader. But the only person who seems to not know this is
00:02:23.340
Jagmeet Singh himself. So I'm going to take you through some of the recent content that Jagmeet Singh
00:02:28.700
is putting on social media, because it demonstrates why nobody likes him, even in his own party. It
00:02:34.540
demonstrates why. Nobody takes them seriously, and their polling is mediocre at best. But before I get
00:02:41.260
into it, guys, look at this sign. Like the video, subscribe to the channel, do all that great stuff,
00:02:48.060
leave a comment. I'm trying to get to 100,000 subscribers by mid-December. So by sharing this
00:02:54.300
video, by subscribing, if you're not yet a subscriber, you really help me out. And you avoid me having to
00:03:00.300
buy all my friends dinner in mid-December if I'm only at 95,000. I actually only get dinner bought
00:03:07.100
for me as my reward, not even proportionately. Basically, I get like 70 bucks if I win, and they
00:03:14.300
get like $600 if I lose. It's mostly just to scare myself into trying to pick up the pace.
00:03:21.420
Anyways, but here is Jagmeet Singh's most recent post. And he, for some reason, thinks that he
00:03:27.500
is the tough guy who's going to stand up to Donald Trump. Jagmeet here says, this isn't about the
00:03:33.740
border for Donald Trump. It's about our water and the critical minerals that Elon Musk needs.
00:03:40.140
Okay, well, this is such a weird thing. Is he acting like Elon Musk is like, not supposed to
00:03:45.180
have these critical minerals? Not that we should like give him sovereignty, but we should probably
00:03:49.260
trade some minerals to, you know, into the US so Tesla can make cars that would make us money.
00:03:53.820
But I digress. Jagmeet Singh finishes up here saying, Donald Trump has threatened to use economic
00:03:59.500
force to make us the 51st state. Canadians will never let that happen. No chance in hell.
00:04:06.780
And this supports my ongoing theory, not really a theory, I think it's just true, that the left in
00:04:12.860
Canada is easily the bigger repository of conspiracy theories. There are so many people who I know are,
00:04:20.860
who are moderate center leftists, or they're center right, who are just like, can't get over
00:04:27.500
the fact that Jagmeet Singh has convinced himself that Trump truly just wants to make Canada the 51st
00:04:33.820
state. By the way, he doesn't. Do you think he really wants, and Canada would probably end up being
00:04:39.500
multiple states. Do you think he wants a bunch of Democratic senators added to the Senate right now?
00:04:45.340
No. Do you think he has the political bandwidth to do this? No. And by the way, what was it that
00:04:52.060
Trudeau agreed to that basically postponed the trade war for 30 days, and it's probably not even
00:04:56.780
going to happen now? They just want us in the next 30 days to put some more security on the border?
00:05:01.820
It was border security. It was national defense spending. It had nothing to do with critical
00:05:05.980
minerals. Trump mentioned critical minerals one time, and somehow Jagmeet has turned this into like
00:05:11.340
a spy movie plot that Trump is going to try and undermine our government, then send in the military
00:05:16.540
to take us over. And only he can board the train in time to like, you know, set us up the bomb,
00:05:23.660
blow up whatever, like, you know, secret device Trump's going to use to bring down our networks,
00:05:28.380
and he can save the day. But here's Jagmeet talking.
00:05:31.740
What Trump though is really about, and it is very clear, he is about making Canada the 51st state.
00:05:37.820
That is what he is about. He has made that very clear. We don't need to guess
00:05:42.060
about what his intentions are. He's repeated it. He wants to use economic pressure on Canada
00:05:48.380
to put us in a weak position. He has been very clear. That is what he wants to do. So we need to
00:05:53.420
fight back. He couldn't keep saying, like, he's very clear. He is very clear. And then he keeps repeating
00:06:00.220
something that like Trump vaguely alluded to one time in like a truth social post.
00:06:07.740
I don't think Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to take over the country so they can get some
00:06:13.740
rare earth minerals. And by the way, why is it that we don't actually open up more minds?
00:06:19.580
Why is it that we don't protect our own sovereignty by being as big as we can? Is Jagmeet Singh out there
00:06:25.980
advocating that we actually fund the military? No. In fact, the NDP has a socialist caucus
00:06:32.700
made up of about four to six of their NDP MPs, which advocates for defunding the military.
00:06:39.900
Yes, Jagmeet Singh with literal like Benedict Arnold's in his caucus are going to be the ones protecting us
00:06:48.780
from the Americans by having people who actually just want to, like, defund our only way of protecting
00:06:55.580
ourselves. But here is now Jagmeet Singh talking about Elon Musk, a man who has very little to do
00:07:02.620
with Canadian politics. Elon Musk is at it again. He's been sending hundreds of millions of dollars
00:07:10.620
to right wing conservative candidates across the world. He's also been accused of manipulating
00:07:17.020
the algorithm on X to favor right wing conservative candidates. He's been accused of this or it's
00:07:23.660
been proven because back when Jack Dorsey was the head of Twitter, they could actually prove it
00:07:29.900
by basically showing similar accounts or one account like plunging down to the floor in terms
00:07:35.660
of its its reach and engagement. I don't notice that really on X. I actually noticed tons of very
00:07:41.180
popular left wing accounts. They're oftentimes being clowned on because they're ridiculous.
00:07:46.460
Well, I have not noticed like a lack of left wing accounts and a lack of reach.
00:07:51.420
This isn't like being shadow banned in 2020 where you post something and literally nobody sees it.
00:07:57.500
But he's just having to spread anti-Musk, anti-Trump conspiracies in order to justify why you should
00:08:03.500
vote for him because he's going to do something. Is he going to make life more affordable? Is he going to
00:08:09.580
fund the police better in the military? Is he going to secure the border, crack down on crime, do anything?
00:08:15.420
Nah, but he's going to be really mad at Elon Musk on Twitter. So that's why you should make this
00:08:22.380
He's recently endorsed Pierre Polyev, who's accepted that endorsement. So we're worried
00:08:27.820
about the real threat of election interference in our country.
00:08:31.740
Sign our petition to push for an investigation of Elon Musk, X and interference in our democracy.
00:08:39.100
Don't worry, Jagmeet. I'm going to give you my data. I'm going to give you my personal data
00:08:43.500
so you can whine and cry at me through your emails. I also get NDP emails. I signed up for their email
00:08:51.100
list. They're just bad. I don't even know how to say it other than they just suck at sending emails.
00:08:59.100
Here's another thing. Oh, the conservatives are going to cut stuff. Every video is less substantial
00:09:04.860
than the last. Jagmeet Singh is just a fake tough guy, a fake political tough guy. Every time,
00:09:13.100
everything is striking a pose with him with no substance behind it. This is actually the
00:09:17.900
big strength that Pierre Polyev has. Pierre Polyev is great, long form. Sit him down for a two-hour
00:09:25.100
podcast. He performs great. Jagmeet can't go through 30 seconds without repeating himself.
00:09:32.140
It's pathetic. Right now in this city, in Montreal, there are already workers who have lost their jobs
00:09:39.900
because of the threat of Donald Trump's tariffs. We have to put in place better protection. I'm sorry
00:09:45.100
about which ones? Are you talking about businesses moving to the US because they have lower taxes?
00:09:49.660
That's not because of threats. Nobody was shutting down in like a two-month period of time,
00:09:55.260
shutting down businesses to then go to the US, unless they were already planning on doing it
00:10:00.140
anyways. But again, another conspiracy that a bunch of people have been basically threatened by Trump
00:10:05.500
into moving their businesses. No, the economy that you are a part of and that you have contributed to
00:10:14.780
...for these workers. These workers should not be left on their own. They should know that there's
00:10:19.980
a government there for them. At a time when people are worried about job losses, people are losing their
00:10:23.740
jobs, I'm surprised that Mark Carney has also added his voice to cutting jobs. I'm not surprised that
00:10:29.980
Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives want to cut jobs. That's what they do. At this difficult time, we need
00:10:35.580
policies to protect workers, not CEOs, not billionaires, not big corporations, but we need clear plans and
00:10:41.980
clear strategies and policies that put workers first. And with new Democrats, that is what we will always do.
00:10:48.380
It's, and again, his grasp on economics is so bad. Sorry, what are you going, what are the workers going
00:10:53.660
to be working for without capital, without people paying for those jobs to be, to exist, without paying
00:11:01.180
for the raw materials to make products or the stuff they need for services? What are we going to do?
00:11:07.580
But I'd like Jagmeet to condemn the CUPE because, or not the public employees, but like
00:11:16.300
PSAC or whatever, the private sector union who, again, they don't represent their members because
00:11:23.900
so many of these private sector unions have been taken over from a top level of just left-wing
00:11:29.980
progressive activists who have never picked up a hammer, they've never done a hard job in their lives,
00:11:34.780
or if they did, they benefited greatly from the seniority system that you've been sitting around
00:11:39.900
here filling the room with farts for 12 years. So I guess you're better than the guy who's only
00:11:45.260
been here for eight years, but is like four times as productive. That's what happens with private sector
00:11:50.700
unions. And that's why they put out memorandums like they just did. I don't have to bring it up on
00:11:55.420
screen. I read it this morning though. They brought up, they proposed to stop more businesses from going down
00:12:03.260
to the United States because the United States doesn't kick their business owners in the face,
00:12:08.140
which also means they don't end up kicking their own workers in the face by proxy of shutting down
00:12:12.700
businesses and depriving them of a job. By the way, an aside here, there's no such thing as a minimum wage.
00:12:19.420
The minimum wage is always $0. Every time they keep trying to increase benefits and wages for workers,
00:12:25.820
what they really do is they say every 10th employee can now go without a job and without pay.
00:12:31.420
But anyways, I digress. But this public sector union coalition came out and said that we should
00:12:37.580
start nationalizing businesses that want to move to the US. Okay, communism, you want communism,
00:12:44.780
or I guess it would be technically also trade unionism, which is what they tried in Italy in the 1920s and
00:12:51.740
1930s, where unions and the government would just take over and operate any business that the owner
00:12:58.780
basically wouldn't follow orders from. So basically, the government owns every business because if you
00:13:04.060
stop doing exactly what the business wants, well, some union black shirt is going to end up taking
00:13:09.660
over the business and running it probably less well than you did to prevent you from doing a sensible
00:13:15.180
thing with your capital that you put forward, that you generated, that you took the risk on, all that stuff.
00:13:21.900
You know, annoying. Anyways, is there anything else that Jagmeet Singh has done? We can keep kind of going.
00:13:29.100
Oh my goodness. He's doing all the buy Canadian, don't buy American type stuff. And I just find it very...
00:13:37.900
He's doing his pledge petition still. It's so tiring.
00:13:42.620
Friends, if you are worried, and you are saying, what can I do to fight back against Trump's tariffs?
00:13:48.700
You're worried about it. You're fed up about it. Here's what you can do. I'm here with Craig Zovey.
00:13:53.740
Oh yeah, the guy who literally puts the Palestinian flag on all of his literature instead of the
00:13:59.500
Canadian flag. Not even the Quebec flag, which I would get. No.
00:14:03.340
You can buy Canadian and boycott American. Come with me. Let me show you how you do that.
00:14:17.500
Yeah. You go to a very small grocer who probably has very high prices, but Jagmeet doesn't care
00:14:23.980
about that. He just cares about hating Loblaws, but not Metro, because his brother's a lobbyist
00:14:28.940
for Metro. You see, profit margins are only bad if you're a big business. If you're a small business
00:14:35.900
who's selling a tomato for like twice the price of Loblaws, that's okay. And by the way, I don't
00:14:41.100
care what they sell it for, but Jagmeet does. But he's a completely hypocrite when it comes to what
00:14:45.500
he actually cares about and what he doesn't care about.
00:14:47.580
Do you pick up a product right here? Boom. Let's pick up this chocolate. Chocolate Boreal. Boy,
00:14:54.300
I dropped another one. I have to buy that too. Chocolate Boreal made in Canada, made in Quebec.
00:14:59.180
That's good. Buy that. Uh, what else we got here? We got, uh, maple syrup made in Canada. Got the
00:15:07.100
Canadian flag. Check the label. Buy that. Who's even selling Vermont-based maple syrup into Canada
00:15:13.980
anyways? Like Canada has such a big maple syrup industry. I don't think you'd ever end up buying
00:15:18.780
any from the U.S. anyways. Like, I guess they make a little bit Montana, but it's pretty sparse.
00:15:23.660
Buy Canadian, boycott American, and you can also sign the pledge
00:15:28.460
that you are committing to do that. You're committing to support Canadian.
00:15:31.740
You're committing to boycott American. That's how you fight back. Let's show Trump
00:15:35.820
that he messed with the wrong country. The guy behind him should have just started
00:15:39.900
screaming about boycotting Israel too, because he's a BDS candidate.
00:15:45.820
Who could guess why Jagmeet's not doing very well? Everything about him is just so sanctimonious
00:15:51.420
and like belabored and sluggish. The guy doesn't know what I'm going to say it. I'm going to say a
00:15:58.060
very Zoomer-ish thing. The man has no swag. The man has no riz. The man is boring. He's been
00:16:05.340
saying the same thing since he became leader in 2019, or actually 2018 or whatever. Imagine having
00:16:12.620
such low self-esteem as the NDP that you're letting this guy take a third kick at the can
00:16:18.220
when they kicked out Thomas Mulcair after failing once. Thomas Mulcair doesn't even fail. He just
00:16:24.940
doesn't live up to what Jack Layton was. Still wins like 45 seats. But no, no, no. Give that over to
00:16:31.420
Jagmeet and let him kill the party in three elections. Just let him do it. I'm fine with it. I don't want
00:16:38.060
the NDP to exist, but whatever. But like, I'm still wondering how this serves the membership of
00:16:43.660
the NDP to have this guy just staring into his phone, uploading videos to TikTok, dancing about
00:16:51.980
how he doesn't like Donald Trump and that, you know, because he's getting real jiggy with it and
00:16:56.220
saying to buy Canadian, you're going to make him the prime minister. You could make any student
00:17:00.620
activist a prime minister at that point. Anyways, that's it for me today, guys. Remember to like this
00:17:06.140
video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, and I will see you guys next time.
