Summary
In this episode, I talk about the ridiculousness of Jagmeet Singh and his obsession with strikes and the fact that he doesn't actually like public sector workers. I also talk about why the next election in Canada is going to be a disaster for the NDP and why the Tories are going to win.
Transcript
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.
00:01:37.900
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.
00:01:58.880
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,
00:02:14.520
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.
00:02:40.840
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,
00:02:57.600
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,
00:03:57.500
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.
00:04:06.460
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.
00:04:26.720
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.
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,
00:05:19.960
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.
00:06:00.920
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.
00:06:13.860
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.
00:06:33.980
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.
00:06:51.160
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.
00:07:15.240
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,
00:07:50.540
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.
00:08:07.860
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
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.
00:08:35.720
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
00:08:54.080
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?
00:10:01.640
At least the IRA mostly tried to not murder 1,200 Northern Irish citizens in a single day
00:10:08.840
But here's him trying to create this artificial fight between him and pure Pollyov.
00:10:13.780
Do you think the government is taking a strong enough position on this issue?
00:10:20.860
One of the initial founders or supporters of the founding of the ICC
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,
00:10:56.680
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.
00:11:19.880
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.
00:11:27.720
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.
00:12:07.280
But even then, they only did that after like decades of not giving a crap about anything that
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
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.
00:12:33.720
It's like your five-year-old brother trying to strike at you and you're like 18 years old.
00:12:43.260
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,
00:13:35.900
He doesn't know how to appeal to middle class voters who are 80% of Canadians are frankly middle class.
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.
00:13:59.960
And at the same time, too pathetic to go after Justin Trudeau.
00:14:05.020
He has made the NDP just a satellite of the Liberal Party,
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.
