Summary
Jagmeet Singh is running for re-election in Burnaby Central, BC in the upcoming federal election. I break down why he's not going to win, and why it's not even close to a close race between him and his opponent.

You guys have heard me say it before, but I think it bears repeating.
00:00:05.180
Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is one of the most incompetent politicians in Canadian history.
00:00:13.580
Justin Trudeau and the federal liberals are absolutely collapsing right now.
00:00:19.220
There is no better way of saying it other than collapsing.
00:00:27.380
If they're lucky, they sometimes get a 25, and Jagmeet Singh has not capitalized on any of it.
00:00:34.460
Jagmeet Singh is in basically a shooting gallery full of opportunities to actually score points and gain popularity.
00:00:41.380
And recently he's taken a couple of those by breaking away from the liberals by shredding the Supply and Confidence Agreement
00:00:48.240
and saying that he's generally not in line with the consumer carbon tax.
00:00:51.680
But still, he just said that he's going to vote with the liberals to retain their government
00:00:56.880
and he's not joining with the conservatives to collapse the government,
00:01:00.160
which makes his whole display of ripping up the Supply and Confidence Agreement completely useless.
00:01:05.800
And now, I am happy to report that Jagmeet Singh is getting exactly what he deserves.
00:01:13.440
He is right now slated in his riding of Burnaby Central.
00:01:16.900
It used to be Burnaby South, but the boundaries have changed a little bit, so the name's changed.
00:01:21.140
In Burnaby Central, he is slated to lose to the conservatives.
00:01:24.660
He is right now running a projected race of 34% with the conservatives to 33% for him and the NDP.
00:01:33.160
That gives the conservatives a 59% chance of winning the riding, 39% to the NDP,
00:01:43.020
But, like, let's be fair, the federal liberals are not going to invest a cent in this riding.
00:01:48.280
They know they're not going to win, so they're not going to invest the resources.
00:01:51.480
And some may say, well, he's the leader of the party.
00:01:55.000
Obviously, he's going to still be able to pull out a win.
00:02:02.740
You're the incumbent, and oftentimes, people like to vote for a leader.
00:02:08.800
There's this kind of idea that because you're voting for the leader of a party,
00:02:14.260
Even though, in a certain sense, the leader doesn't have any time for you.
00:02:18.180
Yes, they usually will visit the riding, and they will try and give special attention to that area of Canada.
00:02:24.840
But overall, they're busy trying to, like, you know, lead an entire political apparatus.
00:02:30.180
They're not going to care about your public park being revitalized or anything.
00:02:38.280
So while, yes, usually being a leader is an advantage, he does not live in Burnaby.
00:02:43.000
Yes, he technically lives in Burnaby for the appearance,
00:02:48.220
He lost election back in 2011, and then he was an MPP a little bit after that for a short while.
00:02:54.700
And then when he saw the NDP's political chances in Ontario falling apart provincially,
00:03:00.140
he jumped federal, became the leader of the NDP,
00:03:03.020
and then scrounged around for a new riding and settled on Burnaby South,
00:03:08.240
Do you think that many people in Burnaby Central think that he's, like, their savior?
00:03:14.800
He's their political savior who was here to deliver all of the needs,
00:03:19.020
or deliver for all of the needs that the people in his riding wanted?
00:03:25.680
Honestly, he's almost in the exact same position as the NDP leader in BC, David Eby is.
00:03:32.200
David Eby is in a riding that's famous at this point for throwing out premiers.
00:03:41.200
What says they won't get rid of David Eby or Paul Ranchford,
00:03:44.760
who is the current conservative candidate for the BC Conservatives in that riding?
00:03:50.060
Right now, David Eby, or actually this isn't right now,
00:03:53.640
but a week ago, he was given a 66% chance of winning his race.
00:03:57.740
Now, he only has a 58% chance of winning his race.
00:04:02.880
It's not looking good for the NDP in British Columbia right now,
00:04:06.280
and frankly, just people don't see the NDP as that much different from the Liberals.
00:04:11.080
Jagmeet Singh can shred the supply and confidence agreement,
00:04:15.320
but that's not going to convince people that the NDP solutions are markedly different from the Liberals.
00:04:20.520
The Liberals' plan is usually to spend a billion dollars on nonsense.
00:04:24.500
An NDP plan is to spend 1.2 billion dollars on nonsense.
00:04:29.360
They don't actually have a difference in philosophy to the Liberals,
00:04:33.400
other than they are technically a little bit more radical.
00:04:36.880
But now, I just want to go over to some NDP propaganda that they've been posting recently.
00:04:48.820
it gives you great insight into the way that the party activists are thinking.
00:04:52.840
And the party activists inside the NDP are now trying to get into a climate war with Justin Trudeau,
00:05:00.780
who's also trying to get into a climate war with them.
00:05:03.840
I would suggest they look at the current federal conservative polling,
00:05:09.260
realizing that the conservatives are polling at 45% for a reason,
00:05:12.940
and it's not because they talk about climate change all day.
00:05:15.740
But this is an actual post from the federal NDP.
00:05:29.940
Protect big oil and gas companies from paying their fair share.
00:05:33.920
Delay $15 billion in climate funding while the planet burns.
00:05:44.900
with Justin Trudeau this entire time since 2019.
00:05:49.040
Do you not think that you bear some responsibility for the things that you're hitting Justin Trudeau with?
00:05:54.100
In a certain sense, I don't really care what he says about Justin Trudeau,
00:05:59.400
But it's just two basically far-left parties fighting.
00:06:03.300
I know the Liberal Party used to be considered a centrist party.
00:06:08.400
It's no longer Chrétien or Paul Martin's party.
00:06:10.620
It is a party full of left-wing progressive activists.
00:06:14.640
And now the NDP is trying to, like, out left-wing progressive activists to the Liberals,
00:06:24.840
Turns out voters actually care about not falling into poverty.
00:06:28.440
Turns out voters don't care about the climate when they can't even afford rent.
00:06:33.140
But the Liberals and the NDP both think their path to victory is attacking each other over not being the real climate activists.
00:06:42.160
I don't know who they think this is appealing to,
00:06:45.300
but it proves to me once again that party activists and consultants for parties are utterly incompetent.
00:06:53.040
They don't know what people want because they all live in tiny bubbles.
00:06:59.060
and you'll be amazed that these people actually think that this activist stuff is appealing to anybody.
00:07:08.680
talking about the fact that pure polyev or whatever is going to cut spending.
00:07:12.860
All he's doing here is threatening Canadians with a good time.
00:07:16.560
Canadians want the budget cut because the budget is overblown.
00:07:23.700
People are not getting the quality of service for what they're paying.
00:07:26.900
The opposition has spent any time listening to Canadians over the summer.
00:07:33.280
They need answers to the challenges they're facing.
00:07:38.760
He just cares about himself and his own political interests.
00:07:42.200
We're going to keep focused on doing the things that he refuses to do,
00:07:50.240
whether it's him voting against a national school food program.
00:07:53.940
We're going to still deliver the things that matter to Canadians,
00:08:04.140
I've got to say, don't say food in kids' bellies.
00:08:11.260
Never bring up anatomy when you're describing the services that you're providing people.
00:08:15.720
But he's only delivering for his own political interests.
00:08:24.300
apparently Pierre Paulio's selfish political interests are also in line with what 45% of Canadians want.
00:08:33.360
He can literally double his polling in many of these polls,
00:08:35.840
and he wouldn't be at where the Conservatives are.
00:08:37.900
Maybe he should change tactics because he's currently losing the game.
00:08:42.300
And the thing is, I'd actually like for all Canadian parties,
00:08:45.440
including the Greens, no matter how irrelevant they are, to moderate.
00:08:49.860
When I say moderate, oftentimes when you hear moderation in Conservative circles,
00:08:53.860
you're like, oh goodness, somebody's going to try and convince me that we should all become progressive activists
00:08:58.560
who are going to, like, attack the oil and gas industry
00:09:01.040
because that's what we heard a red Tory think tank say is going to win us the election or whatever.
00:09:05.740
Erin O'Toole proved that Canadians don't want light, you know, liberal light-type politicians.
00:09:11.740
When I say that Canadian politics needs to moderate,
00:09:17.680
because we are so far left right now in Canada.
00:09:20.140
The Conservative Party is genuinely to the centre-right.
00:09:24.080
Pollyon is giving a centre-right vision of the country.
00:09:27.460
But the other two parties, it would be hard to describe any of them.
00:09:31.640
I guess there's the Greens too, as I just mentioned.
00:09:34.360
The Liberals, NDP, and Greens, every single plan they have is not centre-right.
00:09:46.260
The Liberals and NDP just both represent a further monopolisation of the economy by the government.
00:09:53.040
There's a reason why over 44% of the GDP in Canada is government spending.
00:10:01.700
Obviously, I know that provinces technically spend more combined than the federal government.
00:10:06.880
But still, it's just proving the point that there is way too much government spending in this country.
00:10:14.440
So trying to attack the Conservatives for cutting spending is just saying that I can't believe the Conservatives would even do the things that Canadians are asking them to do.
00:10:23.460
Because parties, in a large sense, don't come up with their own policy.
00:10:30.340
O'Toole was basically denying the incentives that the public was laying down.
00:10:36.120
And Pollyon is succeeding because he's actually following the things that people are saying that they want from him.
00:10:45.760
I am currently filming this at 1 a.m. and need to go to sleep.
00:10:54.440
I have a Chinese billionaire suing me for basically no reason.
00:10:58.640
He's suing the National Telegraph for defamation.
00:11:01.000
And still, in two and a half years, or almost on three years,
00:11:04.720
has not been able to actually provide any evidence that we defamed him.
00:11:10.560
And we've had to pay more than $32,000 defending ourselves.
00:11:14.320
So anything you guys can contribute there really helps us out.
00:11:17.760
Thank you for everybody who's reached out to me while I've been in BC helping the BC Conservatives campaign.
00:11:24.100
Eva and Dimitrios, thank you for letting me drop off a sign at your house.
00:11:28.160
And anyone else who lives in Abbotsford South, make sure to apply for a lawn sign.
00:11:32.020
They'll swing by your house and say hi while I'm doing my grunt labor for the party trying to get rid of the BC NDP.
00:11:38.760
I enjoy it, but obviously it's always, you know, still work to do out here.
