00:00:00.000 In my book, one of the funniest ongoing things in Canadian politics is NDP leader Jagmeet Singh
00:00:06.560 pretending that he's at all relevant to this current political situation that we have in Canada.
00:00:12.200 He obviously is just a stooge of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
00:00:15.800 and yet he pretends like the next election in Canada is going to come down to a battle between himself
00:00:21.720 and Conservative Party leader Pierre Pollyop, because he constantly invokes the name of Pierre Pollyop
00:00:27.220 to the point where you might be tricked into thinking that Pierre Pollyop is currently the Prime Minister of Canada.
00:00:32.520 I wish he was, but he's not. Justin Trudeau is.
00:00:35.680 But Jagmeet Singh is unable to criticize Justin Trudeau unless he can do it in the same sentence as Pierre Pollyop
00:00:41.800 to sort of soften the blow because he's propping up Justin Trudeau at this moment.
00:00:46.520 But it's funny to watch all of his posturing and pretending like he's constantly in this battle of words with Pierre Pollyop
00:00:53.380 who never writes him back, who never acknowledges the existence of Jagmeet Singh and the NDP.
00:00:58.720 He doesn't have to. Right now in the polling, Pierre Pollyop is cleaning up with unionized workers,
00:01:03.960 both private sector and he's starting to eat in with public sector a bit.
00:01:08.120 Although, to be fair, those are voters that the NDP and the Liberals dominate.
00:01:12.360 But the private sector trade union workers who are supposed to be the bread and butter of the NDP
00:01:16.900 are being won like 40 percent right now by Pierre Pollyop's Conservative Party.
00:01:22.120 And Jagmeet Singh is now flailing about, pretending like, no, I'm the real Labour leader.
00:01:28.100 And so he's posting all this stuff about how much he likes workers.
00:01:32.020 Anti-scab legislation means that workers have the power to demand better wages and working conditions.
00:01:37.100 And he goes on.
00:01:37.900 And what's funny is that whenever he poses with workers and he actually looks happy and like he wants to be there,
00:01:43.160 it's always public sector labor workers who work in like office jobs as and as teachers,
00:01:50.000 people who are part of these like bloated public sector unions who end up negotiating against the taxpayer.
00:01:56.820 Anti-scab legislation is stupid.
00:01:58.880 Really, it's just replacement worker legislation.
00:02:01.100 Right now, the Liberals are actually pushing for their own anti-replacement worker legislation,
00:02:06.620 which is effectively fascism, because if you actually know what fascism is,
00:02:11.220 fascism in Italian means trade unionism.
00:02:14.520 It means the government and trade unions dominating the economy and basically cramming down on private businesses
00:02:22.140 because the government, with its labor leaders, can make sure that you can't actually have workers
00:02:27.480 unless you go along with the agenda of the government.
00:02:29.720 This is what Jagmeet Singh is a big believer in.
00:02:34.300 Yes, he is effectively a fascist, except he's not an ultra-nationalist.
00:02:38.600 He is an ultra-internationalist instead.
00:02:40.840 But he just posted this video yesterday trying to call out Pierre Polyev for supposedly trying to censor him in the NDP,
00:02:48.800 even though this is actually perfectly legitimate.
00:02:51.240 What he's about to point out, he's not allowed to do because you're not allowed to have props in parliament,
00:02:55.940 even if you're calling in through Zoom.
00:02:57.600 Pierre Polyev conservatives wanted to censor this sign behind me.
00:03:01.900 I was giving a speech virtually in parliament, and I had this sign referencing a strike from over 100 years ago.
00:03:09.760 I know that Pierre Polyev doesn't want to ever show up to a picket line,
00:03:12.840 and his conservatives don't even want to reference to a strike that happened over 100 years ago.
00:03:17.880 Sorry, but Jagmeet Singh doesn't want to show up to picket lines either.
00:03:22.420 I made a video on videos of Jagmeet Singh going to strikes, union strike events, like auto workers, other trade union workers.
00:03:31.280 And he is so uncomfortable around anyone who actually works a dirty job,
00:03:36.080 somebody who is involved in manufacturing, energy, other sorts of manual labor jobs.
00:03:41.760 He looks grossed out by it because he, at the end of the day, is embodied by his gold Rolex watch.
00:03:47.940 He likes luxury, so he only wants to be around workers who work in like HR, who work in teaching,
00:03:53.960 who work very more soft-handed type jobs.
00:03:57.500 They're important jobs oftentimes, but it's like he doesn't like the aesthetic of actual working class people.
00:04:03.320 So he's the one who's most uncomfortable around them.
00:04:05.620 Pierre Polyev isn't.
00:04:06.460 He actually gets right in there, and that's why workers like him.
00:04:09.120 That's why private sector union workers are going to be voting Polyev and the Conservatives this next election.
00:04:14.760 They're not voting Singh, but he has to keep posing about how much he loves workers and strikes
00:04:19.680 when a lot of his labor rhetoric is so stuck in the past.
00:04:24.020 It's such a 1970s way of talking.
00:04:26.720 I'm against scabs and stool pigeons, and we got to stand up for worker solidarity.
00:04:32.160 It's bloated academic leftist language that working class Canadians hate. 0.98
00:04:38.120 This is a part of Canadian history they wanted to censor and to deny.
00:04:44.600 The 1919 Winnipeg General Strike happened from mid-May to the end of June
00:04:50.160 and was one of the most fundamental and pivotal moments in labor history for Canadians.
00:04:56.360 This was a fight where workers fought with their blood.
00:05:00.000 It was the event that basically enslaved workers to unions who get to control when and where they're allowed to work,
00:05:07.920 how much they're allowed to work for, and the seniority system that is crushing skilled workers
00:05:12.620 underneath these bloated apparatuses of union bosses and scheduling issues regarding,
00:05:18.380 oh, how long have you worked for us?
00:05:19.960 This guy's a little higher up than you, and a lot of the labor policy that came after the 1919 Winnipeg strike
00:05:27.520 has been pretty disastrous for actual labor freedom
00:05:30.400 and has been holding back the wages of average Canadians ever since.
00:05:34.800 He's just entirely wrong and all that stuff, but I want to bring up another video
00:05:38.060 where he's, again, trying to pick a fight with Pierre Polyev over nothing,
00:05:42.080 trying to pretend that he's in this big emotional battle with Pierre Polyev,
00:05:47.920 and it's the thing that all Canadians are paying attention to.
00:05:50.720 I do want to just bring up this post because it really highlights his inability to make
00:05:54.200 any criticism of Justin Trudeau without also including Pierre Polyev.
00:06:00.180 In this one, he says,
00:06:00.920 Last week, I sent a letter to Justin Trudeau and Pierre Polyev
00:06:04.000 letting them know that the NDP will force a vote in Parliament to stop grocery greed.
00:06:10.260 That's just false.
00:06:11.240 There's no such thing as grocery greed.
00:06:13.860 It's inflation that you and Justin Trudeau caused,
00:06:16.640 and now you're trying to pretend that Pierre Polyev is involved in the fact that prices are higher
00:06:20.700 after you guys raised taxes and printed more money than ever before and then spent a crazy amount.
00:06:26.860 Obviously, grocery prices have gone up.
00:06:28.880 Grocery net profits have actually gone down.
00:06:32.480 He'll highlight a company and say,
00:06:33.980 They made 100% more profits this quarter than they did this quarter last year.
00:06:38.260 I'm like, yeah, they just sold a chain of 25 gas stations,
00:06:42.600 and so they made a lot of money off of that sale,
00:06:45.580 but they sold that because they were losing money on the gas stations.
00:06:49.720 That's not real profit.
00:06:51.160 That is a one-time injection of revenue into the company by selling an asset off.
00:06:57.540 But to go further in what Jagmeet Singh is saying,
00:07:01.180 Today, debate on our motion began with the vote taking place in the next two weeks.
00:07:08.040 Canadians need leadership that stands between them and the unregulated greed of the grocery cartel.
00:07:13.360 Your brother is part of the grocery cartel.
00:07:15.240 He's literally a lobbyist for the most profitable grocery chain in the country, Metro,
00:07:19.900 who Jagmeet Singh only started making some small criticisms of recently
00:07:24.280 because it turned out that he was effectively helping his brother try and hurt Loblaws
00:07:29.200 by only criticizing Loblaws as the main figure in the grocery cartel and leaving Metro alone.
00:07:36.020 And for the record, I don't think Metro is doing anything wrong,
00:07:38.720 but Jagmeet Singh thinks they're doing something wrong because he doesn't like profit,
00:07:42.820 and Metro is the most profitable, but his brother Gurruton Singh worked for them,
00:07:46.780 so he was hands-off until about two days ago.
00:07:50.540 Canadians, my message for pure Poly of Justin Trudeau,
00:07:54.520 it's time to make big grocery giants pay what they owe and put the money back in people's pockets.
00:07:59.840 I promise we're not going to back down.
00:08:02.380 How about you lower taxes?
00:08:05.080 I don't know.
00:08:05.660 Maybe it could be a good idea, Jagmeet.
00:08:07.860 We could crunch the numbers, maybe giving people back their own money from the government.
00:08:12.820 Might put more money back in their pockets, but no, no, no.
00:08:15.780 We need these complex schemes of trying to gouge grocery stores on their corporate taxes 0.95
00:08:21.660 and then handing it back to Canadians in bloated benefit programs that nobody can really access efficiently.
00:08:28.880 His idea of how an economy is built is so stupid.
00:08:33.200 That's all I can really sum it up as.
00:08:34.940 It's stupid.
00:08:35.720 He believes that the economy only works when smart men like him are in charge of government
00:08:40.660 and dictate it around and tell people how much they should be setting prices at
00:08:45.040 and how much they should be paying labor and how much what their working hours should be
00:08:49.000 and how much vacation time everyone.
00:08:51.240 That's not how Canada's economy was built.
00:08:54.080 It's how Canada's economy has stagnated when brain trusts like Jagmeet Singh and Justin Trudeau
00:09:00.900 are in charge of the economy and start dictating to the economy how it should function
00:09:04.940 when they clearly have never actually run a successful business in their entire lives
00:09:09.200 and cannot actually centrally control something as complex as a free market capitalist economy.
00:09:15.620 But now I want to jump over to this other video of Jagmeet Singh trying to go after the conservatives
00:09:21.640 for rightfully being against the International Criminal Court
00:09:25.880 just on the premise that Canada should not be subject to the International Criminal Court
00:09:30.340 as well as the fact that the International Criminal Court is trying to go after Israeli generals
00:09:35.180 and the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for fighting Hamas, an Islamist Nazi organization
00:09:41.660 and that he thinks that we should be on board with arresting Benjamin Netanyahu
00:09:46.100 if he steps foot in Canada, is if we would ever want to set the precedent
00:09:49.520 that we will hand over people to the International Criminal Court for fighting terrorists.
00:09:53.860 What, are we going to arrest the Prime Minister of the UK
00:09:56.300 because at one point in time the UK was fighting the IRA?
00:09:59.800 That was basically what he's arguing.
00:10:01.640 At least the IRA mostly tried to not murder 1,200 Northern Irish citizens in a single day
00:10:07.880 the way Hamas did. 0.96
00:10:08.840 But here's him trying to create this artificial fight between him and pure Pollyov. 0.93
00:10:13.780 Do you think the government is taking a strong enough position on this issue?
00:10:16.380 Not at all.
00:10:17.200 We should be very clear.
00:10:19.020 Canadians or Canada was a signatory.
00:10:20.860 One of the initial founders or supporters of the founding of the ICC
00:10:23.840 that that is a court that we support.
00:10:26.880 We've been we've signed on to the international laws
00:10:29.000 and to support to support that court means supporting the decisions that it takes.
00:10:34.220 And that means if the court rules on the arrest warrants,
00:10:38.080 then Canada should clearly state that, yes, we would not only respect,
00:10:41.800 we would support the decision and then we would execute the warrant in relation to international law.
00:10:48.000 You won't even name the actual people we'd be arresting.
00:10:51.420 Because when you actually start listing the people we would be agreeing to arrest,
00:10:55.460 it's ridiculous.
00:10:56.680 Obviously, we're not going to arrest those people because they haven't done anything wrong.
00:11:00.140 Let alone anything that should be decided in an international criminal court.
00:11:06.120 And that's why I find some people who are against the UN and WHO and WF and whatnot, rightfully so,
00:11:12.800 and they'll be like, yes, arrest those Israeli war criminals.
00:11:16.180 Guys, I thought we were against international institutions.
00:11:19.140 I am.
00:11:19.880 And he's acting like the conservatives are not living up,
00:11:22.200 or this is Jagme saying, like the conservatives aren't living up to the ICC.
00:11:26.120 The conservatives never signed on to it.
00:11:27.720 It was like Gretchen and Paul Martin's government back in the day who did it.
00:11:31.220 And yes, Harper never pulled out of it, but it's because it was a pretty irrelevant organization.
00:11:35.880 I guarantee if Polyev, like he indicated, if he was the prime minister,
00:11:39.240 he would have just immediately defunded Canada as part of the ICC,
00:11:42.960 because it's a complete joke of an organization.
00:11:46.040 It's far leftists who like to attack Western countries for actually enforcing their, you know,
00:11:52.460 interests, for actually fighting for their own civilians.
00:11:54.780 The ICC does not exist to go after North Korean despots.
00:11:59.060 They don't go after, you know, terrorists in the Middle East.
00:12:02.000 They don't go after Bashar al-Assad or any of those other people.
00:12:04.740 They issued an arrest warrant for Putin.
00:12:07.280 But even then, they only did that after like decades of not giving a crap about anything that
00:12:12.040 went on in Eastern Europe.
00:12:13.040 They were just trying to build up their reputation.
00:12:14.720 They legitimately only exist to attack mostly Western countries and ignore the crimes of countries 0.95
00:12:21.360 out in the East who are strictly anti-Western.
00:12:24.140 So, yeah, Jagmeet Singh is pretending to be irrelevant.
00:12:28.020 And it's just sad watching him act like he's like able to fight pure Polyev. 0.99
00:12:33.720 It's like your five-year-old brother trying to strike at you and you're like 18 years old.
00:12:38.220 He's not, he can't do any damage to Polyev.
00:12:41.160 He's flailing to try and stay relevant.
00:12:43.260 This is going to be his third election loss come 2025.
00:12:46.880 He should have been removed as the leader when he failed to make any gains for the NDP in 2019,
00:12:52.000 because it wasn't like the NDP was in great shape after the 2015 election.
00:12:56.600 Mulcair lost a substantial amount of seats and then Singh proceeded to lose more seats in 2019
00:13:01.700 and claw back like a single or one or two seats in 2021 simply because Aaron O'Toole was a weak leader
00:13:08.220 and he was able to grab some of these like more labor riding districts back from them.
00:13:15.100 But overall, Singh these days doesn't even know what he's doing.
00:13:18.260 He's just kind of making like vague noises about labor and not liking capitalism or whatever,
00:13:23.680 which is exactly the reason why he alienated so many workers in the past.
00:13:27.320 People don't like this kind of really stuffy old NDP trade unionist rhetoric anymore,
00:13:34.660 but he doesn't know what to do.
00:13:35.900 He doesn't know how to appeal to middle class voters who are 80% of Canadians are frankly middle class.
00:13:41.760 He doesn't care about them.
00:13:43.080 He only cares about you if you're part of a public sector union.
00:13:46.360 And he thinks that private sector union workers are grubby and gross because they work jobs
00:13:50.700 that you can't wear a Rolex while you're doing it.
00:13:52.880 And that's why Polyev is completely divesting him of all of his support.
00:13:57.640 And that's why Jagmeet Singh is mad at him.
00:13:59.960 And at the same time, too pathetic to go after Justin Trudeau.
00:14:03.260 He is in league with Justin Trudeau.
00:14:05.020 He has made the NDP just a satellite of the Liberal Party,
00:14:08.160 which means that they don't matter anymore,
00:14:10.080 which in my mind makes Jagmeet Singh a great NDP leader
00:14:13.340 because he has made the NDP utterly irrelevant.
00:14:16.960 And I only have to make videos about them just to laugh at how irrelevant they happen to be.
00:14:21.240 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:14:24.380 Donate to the TNT Legal Fund in the description below if you can.
00:14:28.860 It's the Give, Send, Go link in the description below.

00:14:39.760 because any Conservative member in the riding can rank a ballot.
00:14:43.360 So make sure you do.
00:14:44.740 It's a bit of a clunky plug.
00:14:46.560 I'm deeply sorry.
