After watching the Liberal Leadership Debate, I couldn't help but think about how much better the debate would have been if Ruby Dalla was on the stage. I go back and look at an email she sent me about why she should have been on the debate stage.
00:00:09.560And I was just sitting here thinking about the debate from last night.
00:00:12.920I hope you watched my analysis. I did it within 15 minutes of that debate ending last night.
00:00:19.540But I was thinking how much better that debate would have been if Ruby Dalla was on the stage.
00:00:24.280And, you know, I went back and looked at some of the email Ruby Dalla sent me.
00:00:30.060I'm going to show you one in just a moment.
00:00:31.760And I'm going to show you why they needed to remove her from the race.
00:00:35.540Now here, if we look at the screen here, this is from the National Post this morning.
00:00:39.340Liberal leadership debate recap. Mark Carney still the frontrunner after tamed performances.
00:00:44.260Carney, Freeland, Gould, Frank Bayless faced off in a debate with just two weeks remaining before the liberal leadership vote.
00:00:49.540Now if we go over here, liberal leadership race poll shows Freeland a close second behind Carney on first ballot.
00:00:57.360So it looks like it will not be a first ballot win for Mark Carney, which could be promising for people like myself who will be voting.
00:01:03.940And I'm going to show you something about that in just a moment.
00:01:06.220But it is masterful the way this has played out for the liberals.
00:01:11.500And I don't know that they've been able to plan it all out, but it certainly has played out to their favor in a big way.
00:01:16.380I mean, when Trudeau resigned on January the 6th, pro-rogue government, we didn't have an election.
00:01:24.140The way he basically gave crumbs to sing over the years in order for him to maintain power.
00:01:32.600And then by starting off this leadership race, it's worked out perfectly.
00:01:35.920I mean, certainly Trump tariffs were a threat.
00:01:37.720But the only way the liberals are leading in the polls right now, which is the case, if we look over here, liberals top Tories for first time in years.
00:01:48.780New Ipsos polling says they were up by 26 points six weeks ago, the conservatives.
00:02:01.420I think other people have made this comparison, but you look back on COVID.
00:02:07.360The liberal government, governments around the world, made people believe, against their better nature,
00:02:12.080that only the government had the correct information and could protect them from a respiratory disease, for the most part, that only killed older people.
00:02:19.980The average age here in Alberta was 79, 80 years of age.
00:02:23.420Didn't kill young people, but they had parents scared to death their children were going to die sitting in a classroom.
00:02:28.720The only way they could protect themselves was putting a piece of flimsy material over their face, standing on dots, staying two meters apart, and rolling up their sleeves, taking an experimental drug.
00:02:39.820And Donald Trump is now, the liberal party is now those four things, the mask, the dot, the social distancing, and the shot against Donald Trump.
