Jagmeet Singh is the most inconsistent politician I ve ever seen in my life, and now he s fake threatening Justin Trudeau over a plan that Singh is in favor of. This is a bait-and-switch plan that is giving people a short tax relief period in order to buy up some goodwill so that in April, when they double the carbon tax, maybe it won t hit people as hard or maybe people won t criticize the Liberals as much.

00:00:00.000 Everyone already knows that federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is a total political coward.
00:00:06.700 And I think this latest story of Singh trying to threaten Justin Trudeau and the Liberals over their GST-HST tax holiday is the most Jagmeet Singh story I've ever seen in my life. 0.69
00:00:18.640 Because everything Jagmeet Singh does is fake and performative.
00:00:22.840 And now he is fake threatening Trudeau over a plan that Singh is in favor of.
00:00:28.180 So a little bit of background here.
00:00:30.840 About three weeks ago, the Liberals rolled out their plan to have a GST-HST tax freeze for two months between December 14th and February 14th or 17th.
00:00:42.000 I think the end date's a little bit different.
00:00:44.120 And the NDP were immediately backing this and even attacking Polyev's Conservative Party for not being in favor of this.
00:00:51.680 This is a bait-and-switch plan.
00:00:53.640 It is giving people a short little bit of a minor tax relief period in order to try and buy up some goodwill so that in April, when they double the carbon tax, maybe it won't hit people as hard or maybe people won't criticize the Liberals as much.
00:01:09.660 This is also why there are $250 checks going out to every working person who's making less than $150,000 a year.
00:01:17.880 They're just trying to make the blow of the doubling of the carbon tax just a little bit lessened by giving away money or by having a very short period of tax relief.
00:01:29.040 Jagmeet Singh, again, has been praising this hook, line, and sinker.
00:01:32.480 He loves it.
00:01:33.180 He says the Conservatives are hacks for not liking it because they're not really in favor of tax relief, even though it's fake tax relief.
00:01:40.380 And now, Jagmeet, after he's probably seen that the Poles do not really like this plan because they know how hollow it is, suddenly he's threatening Trudeau because it's not a good plan.
00:01:51.260 Like, Jagmeet, baby, please pick your position on this issue.
00:01:57.300 Be consistent.
00:01:58.620 But why am I asking for any of this?
00:02:00.240 Jagmeet Singh is the most inconsistent politician I've ever seen in my life. 0.94
00:02:04.460 He is only consistent in how cowardly and performative he is. 0.81
00:02:08.680 But here's what he said yesterday on December 6th.
00:02:12.080 He said, new Democrats are calling for a permanent GST cut on essentials.
00:02:16.700 Justin Trudeau let us down by agreeing to just a two-month break.
00:02:20.220 The vote is Monday.
00:02:21.360 Well, then why were you supporting it so fervently and attacking the Conservatives over this?
00:02:27.060 This is such a late-in-the-game demand.
00:02:29.260 It's insane. 0.99
00:02:30.980 It's obviously what probably happened here is Jagmeet Singh realized he looks like a complete coward. 0.87
00:02:36.660 He looks like he's acting like Justin Trudeau's executive assistant, carrying water for him and making attacks on Polyev that the liberals want them to. 0.55
00:02:45.140 And now, suddenly, Jagmeet Singh has probably gotten Trudeau to manufacture a miniature fight between the two where Trudeau and him are going to seem to be at odds.
00:02:55.420 And then Trudeau is going to give him the tiniest of cutouts ever so that Jagmeet Singh won't get deposed by his own party or lose massive support in the polls.
00:03:03.040 Even look at this ratio.
00:03:04.660 I don't usually care about ratios because sometimes someone's like, man, that guy got ratioed because they're posted 700 likes and somebody's comment has like 701 likes.
00:03:14.780 But look, he has 433 likes on this.
00:03:17.940 2,200 people have left a comment.
00:03:21.060 And I don't think it's a bunch of new Democrats saying you're so beautiful, wise, and attractive, Jagmeet.
00:03:27.980 Okay, let's keep going up.
00:03:29.340 It says, last week, Pierre Polyev proved he will fight against every bit of relief for working class people.
00:03:34.540 But a $60 billion corporate tax cut he approves.
00:03:37.720 He wants you to pay tax on diapers but gave corporations a 7% cut. 0.99
00:03:42.180 I hate this stupid mixing of political history. 0.95
00:03:46.740 Yes, Polyev voted in favor of a 7% reduction to the corporate tax rate when Stephen Harper was the prime minister. 0.99
00:03:55.540 This was a time when taxes overall were much lower.
00:03:59.240 So working class people were not struggling like they are today.
00:04:02.820 Polyev's criticism over the temporary tax relief is the fact it's temporary and is trying to paper over the fact that the carbon tax is about to double.
00:04:11.140 The conservatives, in fact, keep putting up bills to scrap the carbon tax entirely, in which Jagmeet Singh voted against them, even though, in theory, he could have voted with the conservatives.
00:04:22.080 It was even a no-risk proposition for the NDP because the bloc are going to block a cut to the carbon tax because Quebec already has its own carbon tax.
00:04:31.380 And they don't want Anglo-Canadians not having to pay a tax that Quebecers are having to pay.
00:04:37.360 So aren't these two posts also contradicting each other a little bit?
00:04:42.620 He's saying, well, he won't vote for any of the tax relief.
00:04:45.980 Why doesn't he support this HST-GST freeze program, this freeze holiday?
00:04:52.340 And then Jagmeet Singh in the previous post is attacking Trudeau as being performative and this is not actually real relief.
00:04:59.380 It's so temporary and it basically does nothing.
00:05:01.460 But above, he's like, why isn't pure poly voting for this robust tax relief?
00:05:07.380 And on this one, he is similarly getting ratioed 429 likes and 1,100 replies.
00:05:14.820 Here's another thing.
00:05:15.960 He posted this today.
00:05:17.780 He says, a permanent GST tax cut on essentials means no GST on home heating, no GST on internet bills, no GST on cell phone bills, no GST on diapers, and a lot more money in your pocket.
00:05:29.340 We're focused on voting on it this Monday in Parliament.
00:05:33.420 And I guarantee you, Justin Trudeau probably gives a GST cutout for like diapers and cell phone bills or whatever, something that's extremely minor.
00:05:42.360 Because your cell phone bill per month isn't hundreds of dollars.
00:05:45.240 So you're in theory saving like a couple bucks a month, which is good.
00:05:49.960 I want people to pay less in taxes.
00:05:51.900 But this is just fake.
00:05:53.640 It's performative.
00:05:55.180 Jagmeet doesn't care about real tax relief. 0.74
00:05:57.400 He's going to put a bunch of demands on the table.
00:05:59.900 Like, home heating would be good to have the GST removed on.
00:06:02.480 But he's going to put this on the table.
00:06:03.820 And he's going to take very little from Trudeau because he doesn't really want to give people tax relief.
00:06:08.900 He wants to seem like he's in favor of working class people.
00:06:11.820 And he doesn't have to actually technically accomplish anything.
00:06:14.880 He just has to sort of make loud noises about this.
00:06:17.660 I also feel like he's trying to cover up for what he had done the previous day before he started making a bunch of noise
00:06:23.440 about the tax cut not being good enough suddenly, even though he liked it for weeks,
00:06:27.540 is that he did this really weird post criticizing the government for not having a unanimous motion in favor of recognizing the Sikh genocide in India,
00:06:36.840 which there is no Sikh genocide.
00:06:38.400 There were anti-Sikh riots.
00:06:39.720 Evil, condemn, obviously terrible.
00:06:41.920 But the reason he was putting that on the floor was because he's trying to appeal to Calistanis who want to believe that it was like the worst genocide of all time.
00:06:51.300 And it's terrible.
00:06:52.140 And that means violence against the Indian government and all that is justified, 1.00
00:06:55.340 because that is the underlying message of a lot of this kind of Sikh community politics stuff.
00:07:01.620 And guess what?
00:07:02.380 Most of the Sikh community hates it. 0.98
00:07:04.140 They hate it. 1.00
00:07:04.920 It's only Calistanis, which are a tiny fraction, who actually like this garbage. 1.00
00:07:09.800 These motions do not belong in the Canadian parliament, but it is basically pandering to nutcases. 0.94
00:07:16.760 Anyways, I just want to move on to just this last little thing here, because, again, he keeps repeating the same thing over and over again, contradicting himself.
00:07:25.100 He says, pure poly of will pour fuel on the fire of corporate greed.
00:07:29.220 He'll cut health care and housing.
00:07:30.920 He'll take from working people to give more to CEOs.
00:07:33.760 Guess what?
00:07:35.680 I guarantee Polyev actually supports having a permanent GST, HST tax cut, like having permanent tax relief on those items.
00:07:44.500 He's fine with permanent tax relief.
00:07:46.860 He doesn't like temporary tax relief that is just trying to buy up goodwill to increase taxes somewhere else.
00:07:52.880 That is a weaselly move.
00:07:55.000 And Jagmeet Singh's pretending that he's the last honest man in Ottawa,
00:07:58.460 and he's here to fight for working class people when he's the one who was backing the HST, GST temporary cut,
00:08:05.020 and he's not criticizing the carbon tax increase, even though suddenly a few months ago he was like,
00:08:10.660 actually, I might be in favor of getting rid of the consumer carbon tax.
00:08:16.220 And after he said that one little thing because of a bunch of progressive environmentalists criticizing him,
00:08:20.960 suddenly he's really silent on that, and he won't answer back to Polyev when he's calling him a Maserati Marxist who won't actually support long-term tax relief.
00:08:29.640 That really got under Jagmeet Singh, and because he's also recovering from just doing Calistani propaganda, 0.87
00:08:36.780 he's trying to now suddenly become a man of the people once again and take tax issues seriously.
00:08:41.580 This is also why I think he knows he needs to distance himself from the original GST plan.
00:08:47.980 This is a poll question from Leger.
00:08:50.240 I think it's a good enough poll question.
00:08:52.520 You have to kind of interpret what the answers mean a little bit.
00:08:55.220 That's the problem with policy-based questions.
00:08:57.120 They can be really, based on the wording, depending on the wording, people can have wildly different answers.
00:09:04.500 But this question reads,
00:09:06.080 Given the temporarily suspended GST and $250 checks,
00:09:12.520 are you more or less likely to support Trudeau and the Liberals in the next election?
00:09:17.520 No change in my likelihood is 65%.
00:09:20.440 Less likely, 22%.
00:09:22.480 More likely, 8%.
00:09:23.880 Basically, I think this poll means 100% of people haven't changed their opinion.
00:09:29.260 Liberals are likely to just say,
00:09:30.980 I'm more likely to vote for them because it looks good in the poll.
00:09:33.980 And obviously, Conservatives, Greens, and NDP people who really hate Trudeau
00:09:38.040 will say less likely, even though they are already 100% not going to vote for them
00:09:42.400 and you couldn't possibly get less likely to vote.
00:09:44.620 So this is why also Jagmeet Singh is probably now suddenly learning that he,
00:09:51.600 like finding his principles and opposing the temporary nature of the GST, HST cut,
00:09:56.980 because the polling shows that it's unpopular.
00:09:59.640 It's winning him no points by backing it.
00:10:02.060 So he has to find a flaw with it to try and mine himself out a small political victory.
00:10:06.920 But nobody cares because everyone sees through Jagmeet Singh for what he is.
00:10:12.380 He is a phony, shallow, copy-paste progressive politician.
00:10:17.900 And he's been carrying Justin Trudeau's water for years.
00:10:20.620 Every once in a while, performatively opposing Trudeau over very minor technical issues
00:10:26.140 or very minor tax disagreements is not going to make a bunch of people flood over to the NDP.
00:10:33.360 Jagmeet Singh is no Jack Layton.
00:10:35.520 He's not even a Thomas Mall carer.
00:10:37.840 He reminds me of the type of people who'd be running for the NDP as the leader in like 2000 or 1996,
00:10:44.320 like really square, sanctimonious union advocates who have nothing to say on issues other than,
00:10:51.560 well, we should unionize jobs. 0.74
00:10:52.920 We should spend more on social programs.
00:10:54.820 You know, conservatives, bad.
00:10:56.240 Liberals, not good enough.
00:10:57.480 And that's it.
00:10:58.040 He is a wind-up toy of an NDP leader.
00:11:01.400 His only, the only reason, frankly, he's still the NDP leader is because he's Sikh.
00:11:06.740 If he wasn't Sikh, they would have tossed a white politician off to the curb if he had failed as bad as Jagmeet Singh has in two elections. 0.52
00:11:14.580 Usually only get to fail in one.
00:11:16.520 Thomas Mall carer actually didn't do that bad in 2015.
00:11:19.080 Yeah, he lost massive amounts of seats because he was no Jack Layton, but he's definitely not as bad as Jagmeet Singh is.
00:11:26.400 And so he got tossed out, or at least he stepped down, over what was not even that bad of a performance for the NDP.
00:11:32.440 Jagmeet Singh then proceeded to do even worse than Mall carer and only recovered a couple seats in 2021,
00:11:38.600 basically because Justin Trudeau had gotten extremely unpopular.
00:11:42.280 And even with Justin Trudeau at his most unpopular right now, Jagmeet Singh is basically still persisting along with how the NDP typically polls.
00:11:51.100 He gets 20%, 19, 21, which isn't that high because usually the NDP in the polls always poll about five or six points above what they actually get in elections
00:12:00.560 because they only run in a few ridings, really, in a smattering of ridings around the country.
00:12:05.120 And then they just have paper candidates and most of the other ridings where, you know, the person has puts up like five lawn signs and that's it.
00:12:11.480 They don't even doorknock.
00:12:13.040 Jagmeet is probably going to come in with exactly what he had in 2021.
00:12:17.320 He might win more seats because the liberal is falling apart, but it's not going to be out of any sort of like shrewd political maneuvering of Jagmeet Singh.
00:12:25.280 He is not completely losing, like in spite of himself.
00:12:30.480 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.

00:12:44.580 I am going to try and do that interview that Jessica keeps recommending to me.
00:12:48.320 I just have to go and reach out to the person.

00:13:01.420 I've paid more than $33,000 defending myself in this lawsuit that has now officially been going for more than three years.
00:13:08.780 It's just trying to waste my time and try and hold us up in court.
00:13:12.120 A Chinese billionaire developer suing us for basically saying true things with a heavy amount of evidence, and he has never actually submitted evidence to contradict anything that we actually said about him.
00:13:23.900 Anyways, so that's it for me.
00:13:26.460 See you guys around.
