Oh, it's been a bad week for federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.
00:00:08.480
I'm convinced at this point that he must be trying to get into a fraternity run by Justin Trudeau
00:00:13.600
because he keeps humiliating himself in what I can only describe as political hazing rituals
00:00:22.180
Over the last week and a half, he's been absolutely disgracing himself
00:00:26.200
by attacking the Conservatives for not backing the Liberals' GST-HST holiday,
00:00:34.240
It is a two-month GST-HST freeze only on certain items that ends on February 17th,
00:00:41.280
starts on December 17th, ends on February 17th, and then on April 1st, the carbon tax doubles.
00:00:47.560
So it's going to wipe out any gains that Canadians get from being able to save money with the HST freeze.
00:00:54.260
It's completely stupid. Jagmeet knows it, and he's humiliating himself.
00:00:59.240
And now Jagmeet Singh is disagreeing with himself, Jagmeet Singh, on Justin Trudeau being fit for office.
00:01:09.160
And this is Conservative leader Pierre Pollyev mocking him in the aftermath of all this.
00:01:20.900
He said, Jagmeet Singh will always sell out workers and go back on his word.
00:01:26.380
And then there's like a sign here thing for a Conservative website, you know, petition, whatever.
00:01:32.760
I always find it sort of silly that they always want you to sign something
00:01:35.300
and give them your personal contact information over something that doesn't really require that.
00:01:39.600
But anyways, Jagmeet Singh has all of the cards right now.
00:01:44.800
He could actually hold Justin Trudeau over a cliff and demand everything he wants from him.
00:01:50.540
But for some reason, Singh, as the small third party that has no prospect of winning the government in 2025,
00:01:57.680
seems to be the most terrified of the next election.
00:02:02.520
In theory, Trudeau should be scared of losing his government
00:02:05.740
and Jagmeet Singh should be willing to drive his car straight at Justin Trudeau's car
00:02:10.500
in a game of chicken and never take his foot off the gas because he has nothing to lose.
00:02:15.340
But Jagmeet Singh does have something to lose, and that's publicity.
00:02:26.360
because Jagmeet Singh is already an independently rich man,
00:02:29.680
the thing he really is scared of losing is publicity.
00:02:35.160
And he's not going to be the NDP leader after the next election
00:02:38.440
unless the NDP has just become completely masochistic
00:02:44.720
And so Jagmeet wants to extend this government's length as far as humanly possible
00:02:49.380
because that means he keeps being relevant in the media.
00:02:53.260
But now I want to go through some of these posts
00:02:55.580
that really highlight just how pathetic this is for Singh.
00:02:59.140
He posted this yesterday knowing that he was about to disagree with himself
00:03:05.260
and say he won't vote for the no confidence motion
00:03:10.100
saying that he's not a legitimate leader and incompetent and a corporate shill.
00:03:15.420
So earlier in the day, Jagmeet attacks the Conservatives again,
00:03:20.540
because he is just the executive assistant of Justin Trudeau at this point.
00:03:25.560
Conservatives cut corporate taxes by 7% but voted against a tax break on diapers.
00:03:31.680
Pierre Polly have axed the tax for corporations, maxed the tax for Canadians.
00:03:37.360
Aren't you the one who's okay with the consumer carbon tax doubling in April?
00:03:42.160
The Conservatives want to permanently get rid of that.
00:03:44.320
Plus, I know that Jagmeet Singh is economically illiterate,
00:03:48.440
but you think somebody would tell him that actually reducing corporate taxes
00:03:52.780
reduces the prices on the shelves for consumers.
00:03:56.820
Grocery stores would like to make as much profit as possible,
00:04:04.880
they're not going to then suddenly pocket it all
00:04:07.880
because another grocery store or another large corporation
00:04:28.080
And Jagmeet Singh was trying to get as many licks in on the Conservatives
00:04:35.560
which, again, is entirely made up of justifications
00:04:41.100
for Justin Trudeau not being, you know, capable
00:04:44.300
or not being the right person to be prime minister
00:04:59.960
And look, here is the Halifax International Longshoremen's Association
00:05:07.740
They say on Monday, the NDP has the opportunity
00:05:22.060
to effectively get rid of this back to work legislation.
00:05:25.220
And I disagree with the Halifax Longshoremen's Association here.
00:05:43.060
And Pirpalyev is here to do a victory lap on him
00:06:24.540
He's asking the liberals to give the $250 checks in April
00:06:31.720
as well as people who actually are earning an income
00:06:49.740
I'm not sure if it was like a Louis Vuitton bag,
00:06:53.820
you know, his bespoke suit and his Rolex watch.
00:07:12.600
Although you should generally try and stay serious
