Is the NDP in trouble under Jagmeet Singh’s leadership? Yes! – October 28, 2018
Was watching and listening to this video which I initially thought was about Jagmeet Singh’s leadership exclusively but turned out they were also talking about Saudi Arabia and the trade deals Canada has in place with Saudi Arabia. My thoughts regarding the Saudi Arabia deal and Jagmeet Singh’s leadership are below the video.
Should Canada Sell Saudi Arabia weapons? Yes!
Regarding the Saudi Arabia weapons and Oil deals we have in place, well Canada either you want to go green or you want to fund dictatorships, we fund Saudi Arabia, we fund China and so far I rarely if ever hear a peep out of Canadians until the business deals are revealed. We have these trade deals with China and Saudi Arabia because we’re protectionist and we’re corporatists. In economics there is no perfect way of doing things, what happens in business and economics and bartering is that we have trade-offs.
When Unions in all parts of Canada demand higher wages or minimum wages and private companies leave because there’s financial incentive to manufacture anything here, it doesn’t mean that these companies won’t stop selling the exact same items to Canadians that were made in Canada but are now made in China. No, what happens when Canadians opt for massive regulations is that Canada eventually becomes dependent on let’s say China to make us things.
The same thing happens with Oil, Canada has enough Oil and a lot of Canadians say build a pipeline, well the truth is, Canada doesn’t even necessarily need a pipeline, what Canada needs to do is stop pricing itself out of its own market. Selling Canadian oil in Canada isn’t profitable because Canada decided to be corporatist, so if you listen to most Canadians that are pro-oil all they talk about is building Pipelines which is essentially a cry to dig the oil out from the ground and ship it out of Canada.
I’m not anti-pipeline, both the pipeline doesn’t solve Canada’s domestic problems, too many Canadians have been brainwashed into believing that a lower loonie is beneficial to Canada. One of the reasons I liked Donald Trump’s presidential campaign revolved around him mentioning currency manipulation. Canada has been manipulating its currency for years, the loonie is low because Canada priced itself out of its own market so it could attract foreign entrepreneurs who use Canada as a place to sell to America at a profit.
When the price of Oil rose a few years ago under Stephen Harper if you remember there were immediate calls to lower the Loonie, I wrote about this back then, the corporatists were demanding Stephen Harper do something about the higher Canadian Loonie and Stephen Harper did do something about it, he hired Stephen Poloz who the first chance he got lowered Canada’s interest rates lower than America’s it’s important to note that Canada’s housing market didn’t crash when the U.S Housing market, of course, Canadian banks were bailed out but not in the same way as U.S banks were.
Poloz lowered Canadian interest rates to keep the Canadian dollar low to serve corporate and banking interests and in short, this along with political environmental policies, plus regulations in place in Canadian oil sector equates to Canada producers of oil pricing themselves out of our domestic oil market. Norway, which by the way is pretty socialist has no minimum wages and found a way to make their oil benefit their people.
Thus limiting their reliance on Saudi Arabia, Norway by no means has the same available land or the U.S as their largest trading partner, which should give you an indication of why Canada is in the position it’s in. So should Canada sell Saudi Arabia weapons? Yes! Until we start being the self-reliant country we should make deals with whoever will help us to secure the socialist paradise this redistributionist want.
I’ve been saying for years that Canada needs to get rid of these silly regulations, but Canadians want to keep them, so fine have your way, let’s be increasingly reliant on foreign countries run by dictators.
Is the NDP in trouble under Jagmeet Singh’s leadership? Yes!
I think the NDP’s troubles have less to do with Jagmeet Singh’s leadership and more to do with big government programs not working and if Canada wants to do more big government programs. The NDP represent governments micromanaging the economy at almost every level, under the NDP prices for everything will, we’ll become more reliant on the government to do everything, chances are the NDP on a federal scale will do what the NDP helped usher into British Colombia which is government getting involved in the insurance industry and then turning it into a crown corporation which is now so bloated that prices are now higher than they’d be if the government hadn’t gotten involved in the first place.
It’s not that Jagmeet Singh’s NDP isn’t well-meaning, they’re just short sighted and don’t understand how the free market could solve a lot of these silly problems Canada is having. I personally want Maxime Bernier to become the Prime Minister however realistically I’d be okay if the People’s Party simply unseated the NDP. That’s actually what I have my eyes on in this upcoming election. Because for me what’s wrong with Canada today is that our media is looking at the political landscape and the views of the people in these leftist and corporatist political parties and assuming that this is the narrative that Canadians need to hear.
Canadians actually consume information that comes from the internet at a much larger rate than Americans and based on what I’ve observed the Leftists have some problems going forward. That said there are a lot of Canadians that are dependent on the Government to survive and these people always vote and this is why I’m realistic about Maxime Bernier becoming the leader of Canada. These people on welfare and these corporations on welfare will make sure that their messages are very clear that real conservativism coming to Canada will be bad for their bottom lines, therefore vote Liberal, vote NDP vote Conservative.
However, I think that the NDP party is a thing of the past, I don’t think they have much appeal because I think even Canadians realize that too much socialism is not good, a lot of Canadians prefer corporatism because at the very least they don’t have to wait on the government to provide essential services for them. Nothing is more annoying than being forced to use a Government officer to sell you something like insurance, you have no options, no imagine if the NDP took power and put more reliance on the government, it’s a really depressing thought that I hope Canadians don’t side with. That said I don’t think it’s Jagmeet Singh’s leadership that’s their problem I think it’s their big government policies that Canadians are starting to realize.
Personally, I don’t like going to into crown corporation offices, I don’t like going to Provincial Offices, I don’t like going to federal government offices and I’m not too fond of going to municipal government offices either. If these places didn’t exist I wouldn’t even miss them, to be honest. One of the worst calls I’ve gotten all year came from the government tax office, now what the NDP represents is an expansion of all these things. This is why Jagmeet Singh’s leadership is not the problem and why the NDP’s current political platform is.
Interesting times ahead
