Summary
Jagmeet Singh's party needs a lot of help, but they need it from their own supporters to keep them in the race. They need to do more than that, and they need to start asking their own members for money, or else they're going nowhere.

You would think that Jagmeet Singh's federal NDP couldn't get any more pathetic than they looked
00:00:05.560
yesterday, with Jagmeet Singh coming out and saying that his party will vote to keep in the
00:00:10.680
liberal government indefinitely, but they somehow found a way. I have been torturing myself for about
00:00:17.540
six months now because I've subscribed to the email list for the federal NDP just to see what
00:00:23.760
they're saying to their own people. And the number one thing I get from them is, give us money now.
00:00:30.140
Obviously, all parties ask their members for money. So far today, I've gotten three or four
00:00:35.960
emails from the federal NDP saying, please give us money, we'll waste it for you, because the NDP are
00:00:42.220
never going to win an election or have any influence in this next federal election. I believe the numbers
00:00:47.960
just came in for this last quarter and the NDP only ended up bringing in like, I don't know, like
00:00:53.860
$1.7 million. It was super, super low for a party that can fundraise across the entire nation. And
00:01:01.580
somehow they're getting like less than a dollar per Canadian. Their donor network must be absolutely
00:01:07.300
abysmal right now, maybe because they've annoyed people to death. Like I've gotten really bad donor
00:01:12.020
emails from conservative parties, but these take the cake. And in this email, they explicitly say that
00:01:18.460
we don't care about fighting liberals. We are only focused on fighting conservatives.
00:01:23.700
So Jagmeet Singh is really not bucking the impression that he is just basically Justin
00:01:29.280
Trudeau's executive assistant. He is meant to help Justin Trudeau achieve his goals whilst trying
00:01:35.060
to, you know, get his pension at the end of the day. So here is the email I was sent this morning,
00:01:40.560
then I will send you or show you another one. The one I got this morning, another one was like,
00:01:45.360
well, you haven't donated to us yet, Wyatt. And like, I was like, wow, I haven't donated to you
00:01:50.080
guys yet. That's weird. I thought I had sent in my $1,000 donation. It's about the NDP. Wyatt,
00:01:57.320
here's the bottom line. Canadians can't afford a conservative government. Their cuts to pharma care
00:02:01.840
will cost Canadians thousands of dollars per year. Their cuts to pensions will cost seniors
00:02:06.420
their retirement. Their cuts to climate initiatives will cost young people their futures. Oh my goodness.
00:02:11.340
These people actually talk this way. It's not a parody. This is, and now look at this. Our blue
00:02:16.980
versus orange election fund has created, was created to stop conservative cuts before they start.
00:02:23.280
Wyatt, can you chip in today before it closes at 11.59 PM? Closes. And here's what they legitimately say.
00:02:29.940
There are strategies. Our strategy is to target blue-orange ridings where we can take on the
00:02:35.120
conservatives and win. We did it in Elmwood Transcona. David Eby's team did it in BC in the
00:02:40.360
Saskatchewan NDP. And in Saskatchewan, NDP camps were able to beat not just conservative MLAs,
00:02:46.300
but conservative cabinet ministers. It's actually really not impressive to beat a cabinet minister
00:02:51.160
in Saskatchewan because there's not that many seats. So like half of your seats are cabinet ministers
00:02:56.120
as the incumbent government, if you're as big as even the Saskatchewan party was. But goodness,
00:03:02.900
like that, that's so pathetic. We're, we're just trying to stop conservatives from winning.
00:03:07.920
By the way, in Elmwood Transcona, that was a safe orange seat, a safe federal NDP seat.
00:03:15.340
And it was close this last time. Them saying that that's a big achievement is rather pathetic.
00:03:20.180
There was an 18 point swing in favor of the conservatives. Usually that riding goes like
00:03:25.640
50%, 47% NDP. And then you have like the conservatives at 25 or 23. It wasn't an achievement.
00:03:33.480
If anything, it was a nail biter for Jagmeet Singh, who is utterly floundering the polls right now.
00:03:39.880
And is there really anything, I don't think there's anything really worth in this, worth it in this email,
00:03:44.600
but that's seriously what they're sending to their own people asking for money. Now I'm going to go try and see
00:03:50.840
if I can find the other one that they just sent me because it is wild how much they are like,
00:03:55.860
how much they are abusing the email boxes of their own supporters. This one is addressed specifically
00:04:02.260
from Jagmeet Singh himself. Maybe I will have to donate because he's being so, you know, he's being so transparent
00:04:09.160
and he's emailing me himself. Wyatt, pure poly is trying to fool Canadians into thinking that a
00:04:15.480
conservative government will work for them, but Canadians are smarter than that. Is that why only
00:04:20.300
like 18% of people are willing to vote NDP if it's apparently the smart people party? The truth is
00:04:26.120
they've made healthcare, prescription drug medications, rent and groceries even more expensive
00:04:30.640
by giving more freedom to the big corporations that are driving up costs for people. Does Jagmeet Singh
00:04:36.820
seriously propose that less freedom equals lower prices? Why wouldn't lowering taxes and regulations
00:04:44.300
result in lower prices? But Jagmeet Singh believes in a conspiracy theory where everyone who owns a
00:04:50.380
business will only ever raise prices, even though that makes no economic sense. Since if you raise
00:04:55.520
prices and your competitor doesn't, they will eat your lunch like financially. Everyone will just shop at
00:05:01.880
their grocery store if you are trying to engage in price gouging. The only time price gouging actually
00:05:09.020
occurs is when the government is basically letting it happen by preventing other competition from
00:05:14.660
entering the market. So we have price gouging in telecommunications because there's only a few
00:05:19.500
telecommunications companies and they each don't really have amazing service. There's not really that
00:05:24.440
much competition between the three of them. They each mostly operate in specific regions more than
00:05:30.420
each other. And so they can raise prices pretty high for really bad service and you have to deal
00:05:36.500
with it. And that's because of heavy regulations and taxes from the federal government that makes
00:05:42.100
it difficult to enter that market. The only thing you have entering the market is subsidiaries of the
00:05:47.220
same companies offering lower prices, but for obviously fractionalized services where we'll give you
00:05:53.480
two thirds of what the normal TELUS or Bell or Rogers, whatever, like package looks like. And you get to
00:06:01.040
pay less. It's like, okay, well, that's not really a better plan. That's just less of a plan that I'm
00:06:05.780
paying less money for. Anyways, and the email goes on. The truth is they've, oh, the deadline for our blue
00:06:13.300
versus orange election fund is tonight at 11 59 PM. I'm going to put up a damned good fight to keep
00:06:19.320
conservatives and big corporations out of power. Will you join me? Apparently though, this doesn't
00:06:23.980
even make sense because he's saying that Justin Trudeau works for the big corporations and Jagmeet
00:06:29.400
Singh won't vote to get Justin Trudeau out of power. I guess his argument is that the conservatives would
00:06:35.500
be more corporate, even though the conservatives are in fact less corporate in the sense that they
00:06:40.720
don't care about the size of businesses or anything. They're just going to give everyone a tax cut.
00:06:45.720
It's not like they're going to give targeted tax cuts to Loblaws. They're just going to cut taxes
00:06:50.300
everywhere, which is apparently a bad thing because people being able to have their own money is evil
00:06:55.500
in Jagmeet Singh's socialist world. Here we go. I know that Pure Polyev has corporate powers funding
00:07:01.740
his campaign. You do too. He does too. Like he has people who run large unions donating money to him.
00:07:09.180
That is a labor monopolization, like basically a labor corporation. He has big, like rich donors
00:07:16.680
too. And donors can only give like $1,750 in a given election cycle in a year. That's all you can
00:07:23.680
donate. So there's no such thing as like a big donor. We have like medium donors in Canada. And
00:07:30.620
Jagmeet Singh has tons of people in his own party who are going to be like cutting him big checks,
00:07:34.980
lawyers, people who work for large unions, people who work for large corporations, who believe in the
00:07:40.520
NDP's platform. I also know, I'll pull it back up on screen. I also know that our grassroots movement
00:07:48.580
will have to work strategically to take them on. That's why our blue versus orange election fund will
00:07:52.960
target ridings where conservatives are at their weakest. Why? Our focus is on blue, orange ridings, where
00:07:58.940
our dollars are stronger, have a bigger impact, and where we can give conservatives a run for their money.
00:08:04.980
He doesn't. It's the conservatives giving the NDP a run for their money in strong NDP ridings.
00:08:13.760
But Jagmeet Singh is just not living on planet Earth. I've never seen a man fumble an opportunity
00:08:20.000
to gain more political power in my life. He could get a lot more from Justin Trudeau right now. I don't
00:08:25.760
agree with the things that Jagmeet Singh would want, but he can do it. He has leverage right now. The
00:08:30.580
Bloc are saying we'll vote against them. The conservatives are saying we'll vote against
00:08:33.860
them and dissolve the government. I want, obviously, that to happen as a conservative.
00:08:38.680
But why, if you're Jagmeet Singh, would you not start saying, you know what, I'm going to join
00:08:42.420
them unless you do this, that, and the other thing for me? And then you can go back and email your
00:08:46.680
people and say, look, I got a win. You guys should send me money. They don't send you money because
00:08:51.540
you're just the orange version of the liberals. He doesn't do anything that Justin Trudeau wouldn't
00:08:57.320
do. An NDP policy, an NDP program, and a liberal program are only separated on how much they should
00:09:04.320
spend on them. A liberal will spend a billion. An NDP will spend 1.2 billion. That is the only
00:09:10.720
difference here. Jagmeet Singh has fumbled hard in the polls again. I think I want to go to Sheree
00:09:16.940
Attiste. He actually had a really good way of showing this, where he showed that every time
00:09:23.540
the NDP starts rising up in the polls again, immediately they do something stupid, or they
00:09:28.760
basically just show that they're the exact same as the liberals, and then they immediately get
00:09:33.960
hammered down again. Oh, do I have it here? Okay. Sorry, I'm a bit disorganized today, guys.
00:09:46.940
Yes, it should be right here. I like Sheree Attiste's take on this.
00:09:53.440
And I'm just going to pull it up for you guys right here.
00:09:57.860
He says, I love the fact that the NDP flopped their polling momentum again for the 10th time.
00:10:03.040
Because like, yes, as you can see here, it's a little bit small. But when you're the NDP and you
00:10:07.500
only got 17.8% of the vote in the last election, every once in a while they hit 19 and they go above
00:10:12.040
20, or they hit 22. And they sometimes can sustain these big poll numbers for multiple
00:10:17.320
polls. Every dot there is their polling. So they are frequently often polling above 20.
00:10:23.220
And then like right out here, as they start to come up again, right at the end, as they start to come
00:10:28.320
up again, they start slipping again. Because every time people give the 17th look, the 30th look to the
00:10:35.320
NDP saying, hey, are the NDP the better version of the Liberal Party for people who don't want to
00:10:40.580
vote conservative? Jagmeet Singh is like farting around and like, you know, like tickling Justin's
00:10:45.380
like stomach or whatever, and pretending that they don't like each other while they keep doing the
00:10:49.720
exact same things together. It's ridiculous. Again, I'm a conservative, I want all these lefty
00:10:55.420
parties to fail. But from my in my political advisor analyst brain hurts when I see Jagmeet Singh not
00:11:02.720
be able to seize the initiative ever. I guess it's good for all of us that he can't. Goodness.
00:11:09.020
Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys. If you want to support the show, you can donate to
00:11:12.940
the legal fund at the Give, Send, Go link that's linked in the description below, as well as at the
00:11:18.520
top of the comments, it's pinned there. And you can also sign up on my website, whiteclaypool.com.
00:11:23.180
If you ever want recommendations for good nomination candidates to vote for in conservative
00:11:27.420
nominations, that's provincial or federal, anywhere in the country, as well as leadership,
00:11:32.300
recommendations, and different just, you know, analysis of local politics in your area,
00:11:37.340
it basically allows me to have your postal code. And so if I know if there's an interesting race in
00:11:41.360
your area, I can email you and say, hey, this is a really good guy to look at, you know, avoid this
00:11:45.200
guy, or I can even rank everyone if I was to vote in that nomination myself. Anyways, that should be it
