Transcript

00:00:00.120 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Great to have you along today, 4.55 a.m. on Tuesday, February the 18th.
00:00:07.100 I've got the big blue mug of coffee. Thank you so much for the love on yesterday's video.
00:00:12.180 I think Mark Carney is an idiot. Very good. Lots of people have watched it. Up to 30,000 people at this point.
00:00:18.960 That means I'm going to do a whole series next week. Mark Carney is an idiot, part two.
00:00:23.320 Mark Carney is an idiot, part three. Mark Carney is an idiot, part four.
00:00:27.900 And you know, I think I probably would have lots and lots of material to do something like that.
00:00:32.240 Now today I'm doing something completely different.
00:00:35.580 And I don't mean to be critical of the person I'm going to talk about today.
00:00:39.040 This person considers themselves a libertarian. I think we're very much on the same side when it comes to politics.
00:00:43.820 I'm not sure how old this guy is. I turned 60 on the weekend. I've been involved with politics for a long time.
00:00:49.800 I don't spend all day on the internet watching politics. I don't have time for that. I don't want to do that.
00:00:54.680 I wake up in the morning. I kind of read the news through the day and I come up with an idea.
00:00:59.360 Generally, when I wake up, about three o'clock every day.
00:01:02.380 And today I woke up and I was a little bit concerned about things I've been seeing online.
00:01:08.000 And it's the defeatist attitude right now when it comes to the latest polls, when it comes to the conservatives.
00:01:12.920 And honestly, I'm concerned about that as well. I really am.
00:01:16.220 We knew there would be a rise in the polls as soon as Trudeau walked away and we started seeing some of the candidates come forward to run for the Liberal Party.
00:01:25.800 But it's a little concerning when you start to hear people say that Mark Carney is the best person to run our country and to deal with Donald Trump.
00:01:32.500 I don't believe that at all. I believe Pierre Polyev is the guy.
00:01:35.300 Now, the reason I'm doing this video today is because of things like this.
00:01:38.980 Now, this is from X and this is just one of a number of tweets I've seen like this over the last couple of days.
00:01:46.800 Pierre Polyev seems to be selling Canada to bring back the promise of mediocrity to Canadians.
00:01:52.160 For many Canadians, that seems to be enough.
00:01:54.340 He had my vote, but his Liberal leanings as of late have me leaning towards no vote.
00:01:59.180 So, do you really think this is the way to victory and to changing your country for the good?
00:02:05.660 Not voting at all? This is what I'm starting to read online.
00:02:09.200 People are turning their backs on Pierre Polyev because they seem to think he sounds like a Liberal.
00:02:15.080 Now, I'm going to point out somebody who I think is rather influential, has a bit of a following,
00:02:20.840 and who I agree with on pretty much everything.
00:02:23.660 But I think he's gone awry and he needs to straighten himself out.
00:02:27.220 And here's the guy right here. His name is Marty Up North.
00:02:31.980 And this is a fellow Albertan. I think he's a fellow separatist because I'm an Alberta separatist.
00:02:38.000 And down here it says a libertarian.
00:02:39.960 Now, I vote conservative. We have no real libertarian party here in Canada.
00:02:44.800 But I consider myself somewhat of a libertarian.
00:02:47.100 What does a libertarian want? They want more personal liberty, more freedom for people.
00:02:50.460 And I agree with that 100%.
00:02:51.660 But Marty's gone awry here, folks, in a big way.
00:02:54.640 And he should know better.
00:02:56.620 And I'm not picking on Marty. I don't think he gives a damn if I pick on him.
00:02:59.440 I'm some guy who sits in his basement and does this once or twice a day.
00:03:03.840 With less than 10,000 subscribers on my channel.
00:03:06.520 But Marty, wake up!
00:03:08.220 Let me read a tweet from Marty, okay?
00:03:10.340 Sorry, folks, but his talking points are identical to the liberals.
00:03:13.600 He's talking about Pir Poliev.
00:03:15.300 Almost word for word.
00:03:16.920 I like the guy and I want the liberals gone, but his current strategy won't work.
00:03:20.660 If both parties have an identical platform, then the voters will decide based on the personability, looks, and experience of the leaders, that's just a fact.
00:03:30.440 It sucks, but Canadian voters are shallow, very poorly informed, and think of themselves as progressive.
00:03:36.520 In a side-by-side comparison of Mark and Pierre, Carney wins every time in the mind of most voters.
00:03:41.600 I don't understand the conservative strategy.
00:03:43.560 While he's right on a lot of things here, you know, Canadian voters are shallow, very poorly informed, and think of themselves as progressives.
00:03:51.580 That is true.
00:03:52.120 But what exactly would you suggest Pir Poliev do, Mr. Marty, up north?
00:03:57.100 And you've got it absolutely wrong.
00:04:01.120 You say they have an identical platform.
00:04:05.960 His talking points are identical to the liberals.
00:04:08.180 Well, yeah, they are.
00:04:08.900 Because the liberals have stolen his platform.
00:04:11.360 It's the other way around, pal.
00:04:15.480 You do understand that, right?
00:04:17.780 And before I get to the things that Pierre Poliev have been talking about for almost two years, that the liberals have now taken from him.
00:04:24.360 Because that's what's happening, Marty.
00:04:26.160 The liberals have stolen Pierre Poliev's platform.
00:04:28.900 And the people who are shallow that you speak about are believing.
00:04:32.340 People like Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland.
00:04:34.180 Because they're shallow and stupid and ignorant.
00:04:36.200 That's what they are.
00:04:37.200 That's what liberals are.
00:04:38.060 That's what progressives are.
00:04:39.180 I call them regressives.
00:04:41.040 What's the prize here, Marty?
00:04:43.580 The prize is win.
00:04:47.900 Now, I get the feeling, because I've gone through some of your social media stuff, that you're pissed off because Poliev talks about reciprocal tariffs with the United States of America.
00:04:58.220 I don't believe that's the right thing to do.
00:04:59.920 But it's the right thing to say right now.
00:05:02.080 I tend to believe what Danielle Smith did.
00:05:06.000 Diplomacy is better.
00:05:07.040 I believe she got us a reprieve from tariffs because she went and spoke to the Trump administration.
00:05:12.040 But saying right now that you don't agree with reciprocal tariffs with the United States would be a death sentence for Pierre Poliev and the Conservative Party.
00:05:22.000 Diplomacy will come after you win, because that's the prize, pal.
00:05:27.800 If he went out right now and said, I disagree that we have tariffs on the United States if they put tariffs on us, it's over.
00:05:35.160 It's over.
00:05:35.600 Majority Liberal government.
00:05:37.560 Is that what you want?
00:05:39.020 And you seem to think you have some type of influence on people online.
00:05:43.760 Well, use your influence.
00:05:45.040 What exactly would you like him to say that he hasn't said already?
00:05:48.020 Because I don't see anything on your social media that makes any suggestions for him.
00:05:53.380 Let's talk about a few things that he tweeted out this morning.
00:05:56.340 Let's look at a tweet from this morning from Pierre Poliev.
00:05:59.080 Let me see if I can find it here.
00:06:00.100 Here it is.
00:06:00.500 3.01 this morning.
00:06:01.980 Everything Conservatives said before, the Trump tariffs is even more correct now.
00:06:08.080 Axing the carbon tax.
00:06:09.220 Yeah, he's going to do that.
00:06:10.400 Now, the Liberals say they're going to do that, but they're going to bring in another carbon tax.
00:06:13.820 But those ignorant people, those shallow people who vote Liberal, those so-called progressives, believe the Liberals.
00:06:20.420 They don't believe Pierre Poliev, or they don't even know what Poliev said, because they watch the mainstream media.
00:06:24.640 You have influence, pal, start influencing people.
00:06:27.320 Scrapping the capital gains tax hike.
00:06:29.800 Poliev's been talking about that for ages.
00:06:31.500 The Liberals stole that from him.
00:06:33.560 Repealing the anti-energy law, C-69.
00:06:36.060 Well, you know, the other day on the CBC, I did a video on this yesterday.
00:06:40.120 Almost 30,000 people have watched that video from my tiny little channel.
00:06:43.940 He just glossed over that when he was asked about C-69.
00:06:48.800 Approving pipelines.
00:06:49.900 Well, Mark Carney, he's all for pipelines now in Canada, but he's not.
00:06:55.640 He's actually for pipelines in other places where he can make billions of dollars for him and his friends.
00:07:00.200 He doesn't want them in Canada, but he's all for them now because they've stolen it from Pierre Poliev.
00:07:05.640 Celebrating not cancelling our history.
00:07:07.340 Well, I don't know where Mark Carney stands right now when it comes to, you know, woke-ism.
00:07:11.800 But maybe somebody should ask him about it.
00:07:14.980 But what other things has Pierre Poliev talked about since he became the leader?
00:07:18.760 Shit, I watched him at Spruce Meadows here in Calgary, Marty.
00:07:22.400 Fellow Albertan.
00:07:23.740 Do you think the 2,000 people who showed up on a cold night when he was just running to be the leader of the Conservative Party are going to turn their backs on Pierre Poliev?
00:07:31.280 Because people like you think that he's sounding like a liberal?
00:07:37.040 Cut immigration.
00:07:38.600 Send people here illegally home.
00:07:41.100 Reduce regulations.
00:07:42.460 Cut spending.
00:07:43.520 Bring down the debt.
00:07:44.660 Balance the budget.
00:07:45.780 Sell off unused government buildings.
00:07:47.540 Build homes.
00:07:48.220 Cut crime.
00:07:48.820 Get illegal drugs off the street.
00:07:50.460 Punish the dealers.
00:07:51.620 No conservatives in the WEF.
00:07:53.240 We could go on forever.
00:07:55.260 He's said so many things, and a lot of these things the liberals disagree with.
00:07:59.680 You need to wake up, buddy.
00:08:02.280 And maybe you should use your influence with other people who have influence on the Internet.
00:08:06.140 Again, I'm just small potatoes here on YouTube.
00:08:09.440 I've got less than 10,000 people following me here.
00:08:11.840 I don't do this all day long.
00:08:13.900 I'm not following the news every minute of the day.
00:08:16.740 I'm just having some fun.
00:08:18.900 But maybe you should get together with some of the other influencers on YouTube.
00:08:22.180 They've got more reach than the CBC does.
00:08:25.780 Get Jasmine Lane, the pleb, Moose on the Loose.
00:08:28.900 There's dozens of people who are conservatives who want to see a conservative government.
00:08:33.160 Get them together and have them put together a video.
00:08:35.620 Or do a town hall that hundreds of thousands of people can watch.
00:08:39.520 Talk about how awful the Liberal Party has been for the last 10 years that you know about.
00:08:44.120 Talk about how awful Mark Carney or Chrystia Freeland will be for this country.
00:08:47.700 It'll be the same old, same old.
00:08:49.320 And if the Liberals get in, you know it as well as I know it.
00:08:52.560 We're done with the guy in the White House down south.
00:08:55.520 We are done.
00:08:56.760 This country has four years to straighten itself out or we're done.
00:09:01.420 Keep your eyes on the prize, folks.
00:09:03.120 Keep your eyes on the prize, Marty.
00:09:06.140 The prize is winning.
00:09:08.300 Get the guy in power and then do what you want to do to make our country better.
00:09:14.300 And that includes diplomacy with Donald Trump.
00:09:17.360 And I think Donald Trump's hoping he gets a conservative government here.
00:09:23.040 Anyhow, thanks so much.
00:09:24.700 Hope you have a great day, everybody.
