Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I absolutely hate this political news cycle. It's so hypocritical
00:00:07.440
and so cynical. So if you haven't heard yet, federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is declaring
00:00:14.460
that he will vote no confidence in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's liberal government. He said this
00:00:20.160
a couple days after the winter break started, and there's no opportunities to vote no confidence in
00:00:25.420
the liberals until late January, giving Trudeau and Jagmeet enough time to make up for Trudeau to
00:00:31.720
give him a small policy handout so then Jagmeet Singh can delay things even more. I genuinely think
00:00:37.860
that's probably more likely than the NDP actually votes against the liberal government, because even
00:00:43.820
once they reconvene in January, he can always come up with an excuse that he's negotiating with the
00:00:48.820
liberals to try and get some stuff done before the election, or that Justin Trudeau wants to talk to
00:00:54.540
him about some policy stuff that they can work on to protect against a future conservative government.
00:00:59.700
I guarantee something like this is going to happen. How long did it take for Jagmeet Singh to find his
00:01:05.100
spine? And I don't even think he's really found it. I think he's just, again, play acting. But supposedly
00:01:10.640
he finally found it behind the couch, and now he's coming for Justin Trudeau's head, even though he's
00:01:16.500
had every opportunity to do this before. The last no confidence vote that Pierre Polly and the
00:01:21.520
Conservatives put up, very intelligently, was literally written using Jagmeet Singh's own words
00:01:27.120
and justifications for why Justin Trudeau should not be Prime Minister and why his government is a
00:01:32.580
complete failure. But Jagmeet Singh couldn't even vote for that, but suddenly now he'll vote for it,
00:01:38.180
and really the reason why Jagmeet Singh is now saying he'll vote no confidence, supposedly, is because he
00:01:45.200
did so badly in the media circuit. After this leadership crisis started with Justin Trudeau,
00:01:50.160
Jagmeet Singh thought he could get some easy points by going on CTV News, CBC Global, and
00:01:55.900
sitting on nice couches and telling them that, oh, he's calling for Justin Trudeau to resign,
00:02:02.140
being so gormless that he didn't realize that they would probably ask him, hey, why didn't you do this
00:02:07.460
before, and why don't you vote for no confidence? You're saying he should step down, but you're not
00:02:12.220
even, you know, you're not a liberal MP. You really have no power to make him step down, and you probably
00:02:16.720
were saying the same thing two years ago. And Jagmeet Singh sitting there being like, well, we'll
00:02:21.900
see if I vote no confidence, but I don't want to engage in hypotheticals, even though that was an
00:02:26.580
asinine thing to say. Of course, it's going to be a hypothetical that are you going to vote for a no
00:02:33.200
confidence motion, knowing that the conservatives are probably going to put one up, whether you like
00:02:37.400
it or not. He's just like, oh, I'm not going to engage in hypotheticals. That went over like such a lead
00:02:42.580
balloon. And then Jagmeet Singh yesterday got caught flying first class. At the same time,
00:02:47.760
he keeps calling everyone a bootlicker for billionaires or whatever his new line is these
00:02:51.800
days. And so I think that's why he moseyed on out and said, you know what, I'm going to vote no
00:02:56.220
confidence now, because he lost all of his hardcore credentials. He doesn't seem like a real person
00:03:02.200
holding Justin Trudeau's feet to the fire. But here's the letter he wrote, and it is just,
00:03:07.240
it's so egotistical. Jagmeet Singh is the biggest thing in the world in Jagmeet Singh's mind.
00:03:12.980
So he says, fellow Canadians, the Canadian dream is a good job that gets you a home and a fridge
00:03:18.560
full of groceries with enough leftover to save for vacations. A country where healthcare is always
00:03:24.360
there as soon as you need it. I believe every Canadian deserves that. The Trudeau liberals said
00:03:29.800
a lot of the right things. Then they let people down again and again. Well, he was part of the
00:03:33.900
government. So this is just me talking now, but you were part of the government. You can't say,
00:03:37.380
they were letting people down. You were part of it for like two years. You were letting people down
00:03:41.560
too, idiot. Anyways, going on, this is Jagmeet Singh speaking again. Justin Trudeau failed in the
00:03:48.340
biggest job a prime minister has. To work for people, not the powerful. Goodness, the grammar here
00:03:54.360
sucks. To focus on Canadians, not themselves. The liberals don't deserve another chance. That's why
00:04:00.080
the NDP will vote to bring this government down and give Canadians a chance to vote for a government
00:04:05.040
who will work for them. No matter who is leading the Liberal Party, this government's time is up.
00:04:10.360
We will put forward a clear motion of no confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons. I call
00:04:15.560
for Justin Trudeau to resign and he should. Notice how he also doesn't actually indicate when the vote
00:04:20.940
of no confidence is going to happen. Just in the next sitting, which is months long, and I guarantee
00:04:25.700
he's not going to be putting one forward on January 27th. He'll find excuses to even vote
00:04:29.700
against a conservative one if they put one up. And so, going back to Jagmeet Singh's statement,
00:04:36.160
I call for Justin Trudeau to resign and he should. He can't fix health care. He can't build homes you
00:04:42.280
can afford. He can't lower your bills. I have always fought for people. I fought like hell to get
00:04:47.620
dental care and free birth control and diabetes medication. I didn't give up when Justin Trudeau
00:04:52.820
said no and I won't let Pure Poly take it all away. The next fight is a big one. Pure Poly and the
00:04:58.080
conservatives will give CEOs and big businesses anything they want and make callous out cuts
00:05:04.460
to pay for it. They will cut health care, child care, housing, and people's pensions. Are they
00:05:10.180
also going to put, is Pure Poly also going to personally push your grandmother down the stairs?
00:05:14.280
Is he going to light your house on fire? All this is such stupid fear-mongering. But anyways,
00:05:19.040
here's the last paragraph. Canadians can come together and build a country where we take better
00:05:24.580
care of each other. A country where we create good jobs, stand up for the, uh, up to the threats
00:05:30.020
of Trump's tariffs and where everyone has a chance to succeed. I will be working hard to build a
00:05:35.500
movement that can win in the next election. Join me in this fight. He should have also asked people
00:05:40.180
to donate five dollars because the NDP is absolutely broke right now. Like that's been like the real
00:05:47.820
hidden secret behind everything that's been motivating Jagmeet Singh. I genuinely don't think
00:05:52.960
that he wants the pension that badly. He's already a fairly wealthy man. And if you're only in
00:05:57.600
parliament for six years, your pension's actually not that big. Um, I think his main motivation is
00:06:03.000
that again, he's a big ego. He likes being on camera. He likes sitting on the nice couch on the
00:06:07.880
morning shows, uh, in the Canadian legacy media. He likes sitting on Twitch playing video games with
00:06:13.000
Hassan Piker and Ilhan Omar and AOC. And if he stops being leader, which is probably going to happen
00:06:18.960
after the next election, unless somehow he comes second place and then he can justify sticking
00:06:23.100
around, even if it would be like a fluke, a second place victory for the NDP. But Jagmeet Singh's main
00:06:29.680
motivator is that nobody trusts him and nobody donates. That's why he hasn't been able to have
00:06:34.220
an election. We, he'll, they only have like a little more than 300,000, maybe it's like 400,000
00:06:39.420
these days on hand. If you know how much you can spend in individual ridings max, you can spend up
00:06:45.960
to like 130, 150,000 dollars in most ridings in Canada for a federal election campaign during the
00:06:51.860
writ period. Right now, the NDP doesn't have enough money to max out spending in three ridings.
00:06:57.880
That's scary, especially because they have a lot of incumbents who will need a lot of money to defend
00:07:02.560
themselves. And then they would need a bigger war chest if they actually hope to pick up new
00:07:06.920
ridings in Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver, places like that, where they're probably going to get wiped
00:07:12.100
out anyways. And Pure Polyev has taken the right stance on what Jagmeet Singh is doing. Still, after
00:07:17.640
all this time, after Jagmeet Singh has supposedly found his spine, oh, it was just underneath the
00:07:22.280
fridge, that he still won't commit to a solid date. It's that next session I'll put up a vote. And
00:07:27.980
conveniently, even though I don't think he's doing this through his pension, conveniently, this happens
00:07:32.680
to line up with where his pension would be given to him. In early February, he gets qualified for
00:07:38.080
his pension. Jagmeet, baby, why wouldn't you just call a no-confidence vote before the end? Or say
00:07:45.840
that I want an emergency parliamentary session in early January to hold the vote, and then the
00:07:52.740
election can happen before he gets his pension? Because he's not beating the accusation, which is
00:07:58.320
just good propaganda for the conservatives. I'm a conservative. I think he should be mocked relentlessly
00:08:02.820
for this. And I know a lot of social media is full of people who want to say that Jagmeet Singh is just
00:08:06.960
greedy. That's why he's doing all this stuff. I actually don't think that Jagmeet Singh is greedy
00:08:10.700
in that way. The man is already pretty wealthy. I think he's more of an ego than he is greedy,
00:08:15.900
although he is wearing $14,000 watches. But again, I think that's more motivated by his ego
00:08:21.440
than his need to collect shiny objects like some parrot. So the block, you never know, maybe that now
00:08:28.680
that Justin Trudeau is going to try and steer hard and bring the block onside. He just shuffled his
00:08:33.180
cabinet. It's full of a bunch of losers, people who were never given a job in cabinet before for
00:08:39.000
good reason, or he's swapping people out because Anita Anand was not very good in foreign affairs,
00:08:43.840
and now she's international trade. They brought in Nate Erickson-Smith, which is really funny because
00:08:49.360
he's not even planning on running in the next election. I don't think he's actually running
00:08:53.620
for federal office again, but he's our housing minister, which is just them proving that Sean
00:08:58.600
Fraser wasn't very good at his job. I know Sean resigned himself, but that was because he was not
00:09:04.420
popular at all and that he was going to lose his re-election. And now we're bringing in a guy who
00:09:10.040
has no skin of the game because he's about to leave, who is a left-wing ideologue, and we're going to hope
00:09:15.540
that the housing issue is going to get better. The one thing I'm actually really kind of blown away
00:09:21.500
by is that Stephen Gilbeau wasn't moved. I thought Stephen Gilbeau was ripe to be moved from
00:09:27.360
his environment cabinet position, because I guarantee you, considering that the Liberals used to be
00:09:32.800
at like 34% in the polls, and now these days they're at like 20%, out of that 14% loss overall,
00:09:38.620
I think Stephen Gilbeau is probably in charge of 4-5% of that, because his crazy climate policies,
00:09:45.060
his support of the carbon tax, talking down to people, and the fact that he's a past convicted
00:09:49.580
criminal is a big bad look for the Liberals, but Trudeau for some reason likes him. I don't know why.
00:09:56.000
I'm not sure if they have a special relationship or something the way he has with Mark Miller and
00:10:00.560
some of the other people who were at his wedding party back in the day. Who knows? I don't know how
00:10:05.200
Mark Miller still has his job. I guess he's not as bad as the others, because at least he finally
00:10:08.960
cut immigration numbers. Still not enough. I think we need to go down to 100,000 permanent
00:10:13.220
residents a year, and then we need to have strict skill tests, income tests, means tests. You can't
00:10:20.760
bring too many dependents with you, and we need a values test on top of that. And then visas,
00:10:24.760
student visas as well as temporary foreign worker visas need to be slashed by 80%, and if people's
00:10:30.760
visas expire, you gotta leave. There's no, I just want to reapply. Why are you kicking me out? Well,
00:10:36.220
you knew you were only going to be here for three years. Why are you shocked that you're not allowed
00:10:40.640
to stay here for longer than you agreed to stay here for? My goodness. But yeah, and Justin Trudeau and
00:10:48.100
the Liberals, they're still just posting about, oh, the Conservatives are going to cut your CPP or
00:10:52.460
whatever. They're going to do something bad or whatever. Again, it's like Jagmeet Singh here saying,
00:10:57.380
oh, Polly and the Conservatives are going to cut your pensions. Are they? What government in Canadian
00:11:01.940
history has ever been suicidal enough to cut pensions? You might not raise pensions. I think
00:11:07.680
we shouldn't be raising government spending in pretty much any department outside like the military
00:11:11.820
for the next few years. Military is severely underfunded, and most of that problem could actually be just
00:11:16.760
fixed by cutting DEI and shifting it towards actual military equipment and training and whatnot.
00:11:22.040
But what government has ever cut pensions? I don't think Gretchen cut pensions. I don't think
00:11:27.000
Ralph Klein cut pensions, because it's a stupid thing to do. Because pensions, if you just don't
00:11:32.280
raise them, they will eventually lower in their overall cost of government over time, as long as you
00:11:38.680
don't keep re-indexing them with inflation. But yeah, inflation is down enough that we can settle it
00:11:45.040
out a bit. But it's always that left-wing conspiracy theory. The Conservatives are going to push your
00:11:49.120
grandmother down the stairs. They're going to set your house on fire. Peter Polly is going to show up
00:11:54.320
in the middle of the night and smash your windscreen or something like that, and then he's going to steal
00:11:59.080
your kid's backpack and throw it in the river. No, he's not. Guys, run on something real. The left-wing
00:12:05.500
parties are always the conspiracy parties in any given election. Everything is so bad, unless you give them
00:12:10.940
all the power. But yeah, it's exhausting. What do I predict is going to happen this next year? I think
00:12:17.500
that the government's going to be able to hold on somehow until October. Again, I'm a conservative.
00:12:22.720
I don't want Trudeau or Singh or Blanchet to get anything at the end of the day. Just nothing at all.
00:12:29.300
Not even happiness. I'm just kidding. But the thing, what I think that Jagmeet Singh should be doing is
00:12:35.240
trying to demand that they have some NDP, MP get put on the cabinet as some advisor or whatever,
00:12:41.500
then it gives Jagmeet Singh a way of sort of pushing back the date for the next election.
00:12:46.740
But I think they'll find some excuse. It's bad for Canadians that they find an excuse,
00:12:50.600
but I think they're going to find some excuse because, again, the main motivator for the NDP
00:12:54.300
is they're broke and they cannot fight an election right now, and they would basically be having to
00:12:58.820
rely on old lawn signs from past elections to make it so that they don't have to spend as much on new
00:13:03.620
ones. They're going to have so many paper candidates that they do not have any money to support,
00:13:08.540
and outside of having like maybe 100 lawn signs, that's going to be their entire campaign.
00:13:12.520
They might not even have anyone door knocking. So yeah, that's it for me today, guys. If you like
00:13:17.880
this channel, make sure to subscribe. Save me from having to buy my friends $500 dinners because
00:13:23.820
that is my commitment. If I don't get to 100,000 subscribers by next December, I owe them all dinner.
00:13:29.200
What I win if I get to 100,000 is they just owe me dinner, so I basically get like
00:13:33.380
40 bucks out of this whole thing, but it's more so to put the fear in me to actually focus on
00:13:39.160
actually growing the channel. But if you would subscribe and like this video, that helps me
00:13:43.940
out a lot, guys, and I'll see you guys all next time.
