00:00:00.000 One of the funniest ongoing aspects of Jagmeet Singh's leadership of the federal NDP
00:00:05.200 is the insistence that he is a pro-worker politician
00:00:09.160 and conservatives like Pierre Polyev are only friends of the rich.
00:00:13.360 When Jagmeet Singh is the most uncomfortable man I've ever seen
00:00:17.260 whenever he's actually interacting with workers,
00:00:19.980 even union employees who should be predisposed to voting for the NDP,
00:00:24.200 Jagmeet Singh feels so uncomfortable around them.
00:00:26.580 Like if a worker isn't bringing Jagmeet Singh a martini,
00:00:30.000 he doesn't know how to interact.
00:00:32.200 He finds it all icky because they work with their hands
00:00:35.220 and he only likes talking to people who work on computers and in HR.
00:00:39.660 Jagmeet Singh is like a very anti-worker NDP leader
00:00:42.900 and you wonder why the party fell down so hard since Jack Layton stopped being the leader.
00:00:48.080 It's because people like Jagmeet Singh don't like workers at all.
00:00:51.080 Yes, he runs a socialist trade unionist party.
00:00:54.240 At the same time, he likes doing it because he likes being fashionable and seen on television.
00:00:59.260 Anyways, though, this is the post he made today on X trying to attack conservative party leader Pierre Polyev.
00:01:05.600 It says,
00:01:06.460 Fact, Pierre is no friend to workers.
00:01:09.040 He will always choose his rich friends over a year.
00:01:11.780 You, and then the quote in the graphic says,
00:01:14.240 Conservative leader Pierre Polyev is a fraud for portraying himself as a friend to the working class.
00:01:18.660 And I believe that was from some like Unifor leader, again, just some union hack who is voted,
00:01:24.080 basically pushing their members to vote for the NDP because the NDP bends over backwards for trade unions and especially union bosses.
00:01:31.740 When in fact, a lot of the policies the NDP are pushing actually are very bad for workers.
00:01:36.920 It usually reduces their freedom.
00:01:38.700 They push for like bad anti socially conservative piece of legislation that tend to go after what are very traditional families like people who work in blue collar jobs tend to be very pro family individuals.
00:01:52.840 And that's why the NDP has been aliening so many of its voters.
00:01:55.960 You could, I will argue that a lot of their economic positions are bad for workers, but even on paper, yeah, technically they're trying to fight for higher worker wages.
00:02:05.420 At the same time, they hate the values that a lot of these more socially conservative type blue collar construction workers and other maintenance workers actually possess.
00:02:14.380 But now I just want to go on to just looking at some photos and playing some clips of Jagmeet Singh hanging out with workers because it is a marvel to witness.
00:02:22.880 Just how odd he looks, even in situations where everyone's there supposedly to prop him up as a pro worker politician.
00:02:29.880 Just check out some of these like they're not awful because, of course, he's not going to be like visibly befuddled around these people, but he just looks always like he doesn't want to be there.
00:02:39.800 He's always wearing something that is just far too expensive for the situation that he's in, like a big Antarctica, Canada goose type jacket,
00:02:47.980 walking down the lawn of like parliament around other people that he's just sitting here with a reporter in front of some union protesters,
00:02:58.080 just kind of looking like he really doesn't want to be there because the reality is Jagmeet Singh doesn't want to be there.
00:03:03.700 He doesn't like anyone who gets their hands dirty to work because he thinks that those jobs shouldn't even be required in a civil society.
00:03:11.860 He has a very cocktail party type, you know, vision of what work should be like because he's only worked in very soft handed positions as a lawyer
00:03:22.560 and then a provincial politician in Ontario, which he was terrible at, which is why he then fled to federal MDP politics.
00:03:28.960 But here's a global news clip of him going to visit a picket line, which I find very telling in how he interacts.
00:03:36.180 So today at the table, they called us for September 30th, which is law now.
00:03:40.260 But yesterday they said, they'll give it to you today.
00:03:42.880 They said, we can only have it if it's Monday or Friday.
00:03:45.360 I'm like, it's not how it works.
00:03:46.620 It's not a vacation day, right?
00:03:48.780 Yeah.
00:03:49.060 It's a day that, you know, a day that aren't people.
00:03:51.900 No, right.
00:03:52.320 We've talked to this for how many years.
00:03:53.760 I know.
00:03:55.360 Yeah.
00:03:55.960 I'm just trying to make it just a, like, to move it to one.
00:03:58.740 You don't even need to hear what he sounds like, but he just looks like he's going to take his own life the entire time he's here.
00:04:04.060 And even while he's, like, here, like, pretending, like, I'm here to protest with you guys, it's, like, really artificial.
00:04:10.040 Like, yeah, it's like, if you told me to walk up there and pretend to be a pro-union politician, that's what I would do.
00:04:14.980 Guys, they're not listening to us, and they should listen to you, and we're fighting for our rights.
00:04:18.920 And then every time they actually pull back and show him talking to someone, he just has, like, this, like, dead look on his face.
00:04:24.000 Like, oh, goodness, someone put a martini in my hand.
00:04:27.260 Oh, my goodness.
00:04:28.540 It's guaranteed he's wearing a Rolex watch right now.
00:04:31.620 And then he tries to go after Polyev and say, oh, Polyev only cares about his rich friends, even though Jagmeet Singh is an obvious champagne socialist who doesn't actually care about working people.
00:04:41.900 Polyev actually looked pretty natural when he's hanging out with working-class Canadians.
00:04:46.100 Jagmeet Singh, despite all of the union leaders making sure that all these protests are as pro-Jagmeet as possible,
00:04:52.900 everyone's prepared to sort of, like, you know, like, shout-out and, like, support Jagmeet and, like, you know, chant in his favor.
00:05:00.880 He still just looks like he just does not care, doesn't want to be there.
00:05:03.920 You know, you can always count on the Democrats to stand with you.
00:05:07.600 I'm probably the only federal leader that walks picket lines with workers, and I do so proudly.
00:05:13.160 We're the New Democratic Party.
00:05:14.800 We're the only workers' party at the federal level.
00:05:18.140 We're a workers' party.
00:05:19.600 We're proud of it.
00:05:20.600 We'll always be on your side.
00:05:22.340 We'll always stand with workers against big bosses.
00:05:25.740 He ran out of things to say apparently an hour ago, and he's just going to say, we stand up for workers.
00:05:30.820 We're a workers' party.
00:05:32.260 You guys are workers.
00:05:33.460 We're workers.
00:05:34.280 We're working for you workers.
00:05:36.220 It's so artificial.
00:05:37.940 And no, he actually doesn't walk picket lines very often.
00:05:40.780 In fact, I've heard that he actually has to be forced to go to protest events because he hates being around working-class Canadians.
00:05:48.840 So the entire point of the NDP is basically defunct at this point.
00:05:52.920 Jagmeet Singh has killed the NDP.
00:05:54.560 I've never obviously been an NDP voter or supporter, but if you're going to be just the openly pro-union worker party, be that.
00:06:04.580 But Jagmeet Singh doesn't want to be that.
00:06:06.300 He wants to be the party for 18-year-old girls who are taking sociology at an Ivy League university.
00:06:12.240 I know that's more of a U.S. term, but, you know, like top Canadian university.
00:06:15.540 He likes fashionable people, people voting for him.
00:06:18.040 He doesn't like people who go out and protest wearing hoodies and are holding signs talking about strikes and different wage issues and whatnot.
00:06:26.660 He doesn't care.
00:06:27.720 He only wants to talk to fancy people because Jagmeet Singh is fundamentally a fancy man first
00:06:33.520 and a union trade unionist politician second.
00:06:37.460 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:06:40.100 I know this wasn't that much substance in this video.
00:06:42.440 I just wanted to make fun of Jagmeet Singh.
00:06:44.060 I had another tweet I forgot to bring up on screen about me, like, doing a fake quote around
00:06:48.580 Pierre Polyev doesn't even wear a gold Rolex watch and look uncomfortable around workers.
00:06:54.020 How could he possibly be a pro-worker prime minister if he doesn't look visibly uncomfortable like I do around these people?
00:07:02.800 But anyways, yeah.
00:07:03.560 So that's it for me today, guys.
00:07:05.000 As I always say, I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary-Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:07:11.220 If you live on the west side of Calgary, buy a federal Conservative Party membership and vote for me number one on your ballot
00:07:16.960 whenever the nomination date gets set for.
00:07:18.920 And you can also donate to the TNT Legal Fund in the description below.
00:07:23.860 It's under the Give, Send, Go link. 0.98
00:07:26.180 You can go over there if you want to donate and help us fight back in these stupid defamation cases 0.96
00:07:31.040 where we have this billionaire developer suing us for, like, $900,000. 0.96
00:07:35.660 I've paid more than $29,000 defending us so far.
00:07:39.340 And he's suing us for defamation.
00:07:40.960 And in over two years, like four months into this case,
00:07:44.180 he still hasn't actually shown any evidence to how we defamed him.
00:07:48.540 All he's asking for is, well, how many times has the article shared?
00:07:51.840 How many people, like, read the article?
00:07:54.300 Stuff that doesn't actually prove anything, but he's, you know,
00:07:56.860 he's using all this stuff in lieu of actually having evidence that we said anything factually incorrect.
00:08:01.600 In fact, everything we said in the article about him was based off a Globe and Mail article.
00:08:06.620 Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys.
00:08:09.180 Have a good one.
