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.

00:00:00.000 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 0.83
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 0.91
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. 0.99
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. 0.98
00:03:20.180 There was an 18 point swing in favor of the conservatives. Usually that riding goes like 0.94
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 0.93
00:06:19.320 conservatives and big corporations out of power. Will you join me? Apparently though, this doesn't 0.85
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. 0.89
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 0.97
00:09:28.760 basically just show that they're the exact same as the liberals, and then they immediately get 0.99
00:09:33.960 hammered down again. Oh, do I have it here? Okay. Sorry, I'm a bit disorganized today, guys.
00:09:44.360 Do we have it? Do we have it?
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 0.97
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
00:11:52.160 for me today, guys. Have a good one.
