Summary

Justin Trudeau has a new finance minister, Dominic LeBlanc, and the rest of his cabinet is pretty much the same as they were before. I talk about why this is a bad thing, and why Jagmeet Singh should be the next Prime Minister.

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:03.160 Sorry for the more ramshackle set right now, I am currently in Vancouver,
00:00:07.800 but I still wanted to talk about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
00:00:11.480 reportedly thinking that the solution to all of his problems
00:00:15.480 is to just shuffle his cabinet again.
00:00:19.020 He has done this several times since 2015,
00:00:22.360 and he thinks that in the middle of this leadership crisis,
00:00:26.160 he's going to just swap a few people out,
00:00:28.880 and Canadians are going to be like,
00:00:30.720 oh, it's such a new government.
00:00:32.360 There's such a fresh feeling in the air
00:00:34.380 since Justin Trudeau swapped out a terrible minister
00:00:37.820 with another terrible minister,
00:00:40.040 and the trick is both ministers are just doing what Justin Trudeau says.
00:00:44.300 That's why they both suck.
00:00:45.920 It's not going to work.
00:00:47.160 The polling shows that nobody likes Trudeau anymore.
00:00:49.780 Only 20% of people in the recent Abacus poll
00:00:53.160 said that they approve of Justin Trudeau.
00:00:55.780 63% said that they disapprove of him.
00:00:58.520 Yeah, apparently now that Dominic LeBlanc is the finance minister,
00:01:02.880 Canadians can have more confidence that Canada is on the right track.
00:01:07.180 Obviously not.
00:01:08.360 And I don't feel bad for any of these people
00:01:10.080 who are being thrown under the bus by Justin Trudeau.
00:01:12.840 There are some conservatives out there trying to do this whole,
00:01:15.840 you know, I feel bad for Chrystia Freeland.
00:01:18.380 She was so loyal to Trudeau, and she threw her under the bus.
00:01:21.860 She helped him throw people under the bus for years.
00:01:24.920 I don't know why people are just forgetting all this stuff.
00:01:27.840 Or I guess maybe it's just a political stance
00:01:29.920 to say that I stand with Freeland because it sounds good against Trudeau.
00:01:34.380 But both of them should never be in public office again.
00:01:37.680 Both of them are terrible.
00:01:39.620 So I don't really want to do this whole feeling bad for corrupt politicians thing
00:01:43.280 just because it might be advantageous to go after Trudeau right now.
00:01:46.960 But truly, I think the Canadian public at this point understands the game.
00:01:51.360 Every single liberal minister might as well be wearing a face mask of Justin Trudeau's face.
00:01:58.020 All of them are completely interchangeable
00:02:00.420 because the currency that gets you up in the liberal party is loyalty.
00:02:05.860 And if you are loyal, then you will get promoted,
00:02:08.800 which means that you do stupid things
00:02:10.780 because Justin Trudeau wants you to do those stupid things.
00:02:13.920 And to prove you're loyal, you will carry out those stupid things.
00:02:16.940 That's why Chrystia Freeland getting all mad about the deficit was hilarious.
00:02:21.620 Really? You're shocked that Justin Trudeau sucks with money?
00:02:24.980 You suck with money too.
00:02:26.380 He's just slightly worse at it.
00:02:27.900 You are going to come up with a $40 billion plus deficit
00:02:31.720 and Justin Trudeau produced a $62 billion deficit.
00:02:35.340 Maybe we should have a government that can actually balance a budget
00:02:38.320 or maybe even have like a surplus.
00:02:41.620 Think about it.
00:02:42.440 We could actually pay off some debt.
00:02:43.740 My goodness.
00:02:44.740 Think of what a concept of actually trying to live within our means.
00:02:49.660 Wow.
00:02:49.980 Anyways, before I talk a little bit more about this,
00:02:52.800 I just want to mention to you guys,
00:02:55.300 if you like this channel, please hit the subscribe button,
00:02:58.260 like this video, leave us a comment.
00:02:59.880 It really helps us out in the algorithm
00:03:01.480 and I am trying to get to 100,000 subscribers
00:03:04.420 so I don't owe my friends dinner by December of next year.
00:03:09.200 Anyways, so the thing here too is
00:03:12.180 what is Jagmeet Singh doing?
00:03:14.240 Jagmeet Singh is flopping around in all these TV interviews
00:03:18.120 pretending like he's holding Justin Trudeau's feet to the fire
00:03:21.500 while the NDP right now is more supportive of Justin Trudeau
00:03:25.820 than the Liberal Party is
00:03:27.700 because around 40 to 50 to 60 Liberal MPs,
00:03:30.980 we're not quite sure what the number is,
00:03:32.980 have been asking Trudeau to resign now.
00:03:35.300 They have openly signed a letter
00:03:36.580 and let Trudeau know they want him to go
00:03:38.960 and somehow it's actually the NDP caucus
00:03:42.560 which is 100% behind Justin Trudeau
00:03:45.100 because Jagmeet Singh doesn't know what to do with himself.
00:03:47.680 I'm not even saying that Jagmeet Singh
00:03:49.720 has to pull the plug on this government.
00:03:51.480 I'm a conservative.
00:03:52.500 I'd love it if he did that
00:03:53.700 but from the perspective of like
00:03:56.360 if you or I became the NDP advisor to Jagmeet Singh,
00:04:02.440 we became the strategist,
00:04:04.240 if you're Jagmeet Singh, make some big ultimatum.
00:04:06.900 Say that you have to add an NDP MP to your cabinet
00:04:10.440 as a finance minister to get control of this government.
00:04:12.700 It's nonsense the NDP is somehow even worse than the Liberals
00:04:15.340 when it comes to like every policy issue
00:04:17.560 but you think that Jagmeet Singh would try something,
00:04:20.740 be a little audacious man, do anything
00:04:23.880 and the thing is now
00:04:25.500 because Jagmeet Singh sucks at politics,
00:04:27.680 they're saying that their ultimatum for Trudeau
00:04:29.540 that if they don't deliver vague thing to Jagmeet Singh,
00:04:33.720 he won't even name what he wants.
00:04:35.120 If he doesn't deliver something vague to the NDP,
00:04:38.340 Jagmeet Singh after his pension
00:04:39.920 might pull the plug on this government.
00:04:42.280 Might.
00:04:43.540 Jagmeet, baby, why wouldn't you say late January?
00:04:48.560 You could actually have plausible deniability
00:04:51.460 that you're not doing this for your pension
00:04:53.500 if you just say that you're going to pull the plug
00:04:55.980 like a few days before your pension
00:04:57.560 so you wouldn't get it.
00:04:58.500 In theory, you'd have to run and win office again
00:05:00.860 in order to get it.
00:05:01.640 He is so bad at this.
00:05:04.220 There's something wrong with that man
00:05:05.820 that makes him get out of a Maserati
00:05:07.560 holding a Gucci bag
00:05:08.880 and other like wearing like a $14,000 Rolex watch
00:05:13.100 and like a $10,000 bespoke suit
00:05:15.520 thinking that I'm probably the champion
00:05:18.600 of the working class, aren't I?
00:05:20.420 He's so self-indulgent.
00:05:22.500 The man literally cannot take the watch off
00:05:25.280 in order to seem a little bit more working class.
00:05:27.680 That would go against his ego
00:05:29.560 which requires him to know that other people
00:05:33.000 know how much he's worth.
00:05:35.400 And then there's Pierre Polyev.
00:05:36.860 I think Pierre Polyev has been doing a fantastic job
00:05:39.560 for the last few days.
00:05:41.060 Obviously, I'm a conservative
00:05:42.140 so I'm predisposed to thinking
00:05:43.420 a conservative is doing a good job.
00:05:45.080 But man, he has been throwing absolute haymakers
00:05:47.880 at Justin Trudeau.
00:05:49.120 And the fact that Trudeau is sending out like Karina Gould
00:05:52.200 and other flunky ministers and house leaders
00:05:55.100 to come and respond to Polyev
00:05:57.200 demonstrates that he's no longer the leader.
00:06:00.060 He's not going to be able to reset this government
00:06:02.060 by taking a vacation,
00:06:03.960 letting things sort of rest for a month
00:06:05.800 because people have seen that before
00:06:07.940 and frankly, it never worked in the first place.
00:06:11.120 Cabinet shuffles never work.
00:06:12.960 You are indicating to people
00:06:14.220 that you think your government is failing
00:06:16.260 and that you need to swap out some incompetent people.
00:06:18.680 But we're through all the incompetent people.
00:06:22.000 The first people Justin Trudeau had
00:06:24.060 back in 2015 were incompetent.
00:06:26.140 We're now on the C squad.
00:06:27.880 When we're going to bring in the D squad,
00:06:29.680 we're going to have Mark Gerritsen in a role.
00:06:32.100 We're going to have Steve McKinnon in a role.
00:06:34.320 Who else could you jam into this government
00:06:36.580 who's more embarrassing than the current set of people
00:06:39.340 like Mark Miller and Arif Arani?
00:06:41.900 I don't even know who else is left
00:06:44.160 in the back benches of the Liberal Party
00:06:46.120 who hasn't thoroughly embarrassed themselves yet.
00:06:48.420 I'm almost waiting for them to revive Randy Boissano
00:06:51.560 because maybe that would be slightly less embarrassing
00:06:54.100 than Mark Gerritsen getting some big role in government.
00:06:57.840 At this point, I think that Justin Trudeau
00:06:59.580 is just going to go balls to the wall.
00:07:01.160 He's going to throw out the dumbest choices possible
00:07:03.780 and go out swinging as the most progressive government
00:07:06.820 in Canadian history
00:07:07.740 because that's the only way
00:07:09.580 he could maybe build up his legacy.
00:07:11.500 Like, nobody likes him.
00:07:12.660 But maybe in the Liberal Party,
00:07:14.000 he can, like, pretend,
00:07:15.080 oh, I flew too close to the sun.
00:07:16.540 I was just too precious for this world
00:07:19.180 and that's why the Canadian people wouldn't re-elect me.
00:07:21.880 It's not that the American dollar
00:07:24.020 now buys $1.45 in Canadian dollars.
00:07:27.840 It's not that our, literally,
00:07:29.780 our per capita incomes
00:07:31.920 have fallen for the seventh quarter straight.
00:07:34.040 It's just because he was too progressive for us.
00:07:36.680 We just didn't get it.
00:07:37.880 We just didn't understand
00:07:38.980 how much of a climate warrior he was.
00:07:42.340 Oh, it's so exhausting.
00:07:43.600 So, apparently, the shuffle's coming tomorrow.
00:07:47.060 I don't expect Trudeau's going to resign.
00:07:49.220 Maybe he resigns before the next election,
00:07:51.320 but unless he doesn't tomorrow,
00:07:53.240 there's no point in anyone deciding
00:07:55.400 they want his job in the Liberal Party
00:07:57.440 unless they know.
00:07:58.700 I'm never, I'm leaving politics.
00:08:00.200 Like, if you're Freeland
00:08:01.040 and you're going to leave politics
00:08:02.400 maybe in the next four or five years,
00:08:04.620 I guess be Prime Minister for five seconds,
00:08:06.620 be the second Kim Campbell,
00:08:08.500 and at least you get a portrait in the,
00:08:10.760 you know, in Parliament.
00:08:11.700 You get to pretend to be important
00:08:12.820 and you can go on all the talk shows
00:08:14.520 as, oh, I'm a former Prime Minister,
00:08:16.520 even though you're only Prime Minister
00:08:17.740 for six months.
00:08:19.200 But yeah, I don't really see this
00:08:20.900 resulting in any big change.
00:08:22.760 I think that Trudeau is basically
00:08:25.220 just going to let himself burn out,
00:08:26.640 but hopefully he's going to burn out
00:08:28.480 as a bright star in his own mind.
00:08:31.160 So, that's it for me today, guys.
00:08:33.160 Again, subscribe to the channel,
00:08:34.640 like this video,
00:08:35.320 and I apologize that the lighting is bad.
00:08:37.160 I will fix it in the next video.
00:08:39.480 The internet where I am isn't amazing,
00:08:41.440 so I'm filming this on my phone.
00:08:43.920 This is not even recording audio.
00:08:45.980 I'm just doing this for appearances, people.
00:08:47.640 I'm a fake.
00:08:48.340 I'm a fraud.
00:08:49.740 But I'm going to try
00:08:50.940 and make the lighting better,
00:08:52.020 and to film on my laptop,
00:08:54.320 it needs Wi-Fi connection to record,
00:08:56.860 and that's just not working out right now,
00:08:58.760 and so we're doing it this way.
00:09:01.120 But anyways, thanks for watching.
00:09:02.540 Anyways, thanks for supporting me, guys.
00:09:04.380 I'll see you guys next time.
