Transcript
- 0:03So this is jag Mee saying he's the leader. If you're not from Canada,
- 0:06the NDP New Democratic Party in Canada is the most far left, looney,
- 0:12woke party in Canada. It's the party that Justin Trudeau is competing with.
- 0:16He's just nipping at their heels all the time. But I think they
- 0:19managed to maintain their slight lead in terms of being the most deranged, lunatic,
- 0:26far left woke party in Canada. And as you'll hear from this guy,
- 0:31he has some incredibly stupid ideas. Let's see, Jagbead is still going
- 0:37on about putting price caps on groceries. And it's just so obvious why this
- 0:41is a terrible idea that will fail miserably. But let's hear him talk about
- 0:45it over twenty dollars twenty three dollars for this olive oil president's choice twenty three
- 0:51dollars, and then yes, and this bag of apples imperfect president's choice again,
- 0:57the brand of Superstars of Loblaws nine dollars. So what do we want
- 1:02to do? A couple of things? Key things One is we could immediately
- 1:07put in place a price cap. We can put our price cap on a
- 1:12food essentials. On those food essentials that people need, we could put a
- 1:15price cap. By the way, I just want to interject, he drives
- 1:19her out in very expensive luxury cars and where's a rolex? And like ten
- 1:23thousand dollars suits. So he's one of those Champagne socialists. I guess you
- 1:26could say socialism for thee but not for me. And putting that price cap
- 1:32in place, what would mean is that you would immediately get relief if these
- 1:34companies don't lower their price. Okay, so the price cap, so capping
- 1:38prices on things like olive oil, bread, just food, immediately you'd get
- 1:42relief. But what happens like in a week or two, In a week
- 1:48or two, when it turns out that well, nobody actually wants to produce
- 1:52a product at a loss, so they just stop producing it. What do
- 1:56you say then, Well, I guess they don't think that far ahead,
- 1:57or maybe it's just really centical politicking. There's no intention to actually do it,
- 2:01but they know that they know that the people that they're appealing to are
- 2:08already idiots, so utterly ignorant of everything, everything that Matt should matter when
- 2:15you're going to go vote. So if they already know that they're idiots.
- 2:17They'll just I guess treat them as such. Doesn't seem right to me.
- 2:22I gotta say it says we would impose a price gap that would lower the
- 2:24price to your groceries. Secondly, liberals and conservatives gave these big corporate gross
- 2:29stores massive corporate handouts to the tune of billions of dollars. We would end
- 2:34those corporate handouts and instead invest in people. And finally, we would make
- 2:38these large corporate groceris pay their fair share and reinvest that into giving people a
- 2:43break. So what the margins are for a grocery store and a very good
- 2:47year, very good year might be four percent, Generally it's more like one
- 2:53or two percent, maybe two and a half percent. Net profit margins for
- 2:57food and beverage stores have increase from one point seven nine percent in twenty eighteen
- 3:02to three point two seven percent in twenty twenty two, which they call an
- 3:08eighty two point six eight percent at net profit margins. But it's one point
- 3:13seven nine percent to three point two seven percent. Those are razor thin margins.
- 3:19Okay, those are razor thin margins. And also they have to when
- 3:23the times are good and they can get three or even four percent profits.
- 3:29They can't just they're not just that's not just a bunch of people buying rolls
- 3:31royces at new swimming pools. Like. They actually have to put that away
- 3:35because they have to deal with fluctuations in prices. They don't just buy everything
- 3:39on the day. They have to predict six months a year from now,
- 3:43right. They sign contracts for prices, so they have to protict. They
- 3:46have to have a buffer for bad times as well as the good times.
- 3:50And even in the good times. Again, you're talking about a difference in
- 3:53a percent or percent and a half or two percent in profits. I value
- 3:59the fact I can go into a safe way and there's all different kinds of
- 4:02food available and we don't constantly have shortages or there's food what we simply can't
- 4:09get. If you want a scenario like that, you would listen to an
- 4:13idiot like this who's going to put price caps on We could immediately put in
- 4:18place a price cap. Yeah, that's nothing but pure and simple old fashion
- 4:26communism. Stupidity is just or the cynicism, you know, whatever you want
- 4:32to call it. It's if he limits the price of olive oil, to
- 4:34say, eighteen dollars a bottle, and it costs producers, distributors, and
- 4:39retailers twenty three dollars to bring it to you. The only thing, then,
- 4:43only one thing will happen. Producers, distributors and retailers won't sell olive
- 4:46oil in Canada. I mean, it's just fair. It's so obvious.
- 4:51He must know that. He must He can't be as dumb as he seems.
- 4:56Anyway. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Please like, share
