Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel. Great to have you along today. It is Saturday, January the 18th, 6.36 a.m.
00:00:07.420 Getting going a little later today. Took some time to get this video and its elements together.
00:00:12.020 Of course, I've got the big blue mug of coffee, and I'm just shy of 5,000 subscribers on the channel.
00:00:17.380 A little over a month ago, I had 400. Thanks for subscribing. If you're not a subscriber, what are you waiting for?
00:00:22.680 Click on the subscribe button.
00:00:24.660 Okay, I want to get away from talking about the Liberal Leadership Campaign.
00:00:30.440 It's all you hear about in Canadian politics right now.
00:00:33.160 And I woke up this morning saying, don't want to talk about that, even though Christia Freeland got in yesterday.
00:00:37.580 Watch yesterday's video where I comment on her and what's going on with Mark Carney and such and such.
00:00:43.920 But I want to talk about the guy who I think has been leading the way in Canada
00:00:48.600 and setting the agenda for the Liberal government for the last year and a half to two years
00:00:53.240 since he became the leader of the opposition here in Canada.
00:00:56.520 Of course, I'm talking about Pierre Polyev.
00:00:58.100 And these are issues that I don't think Trudeau would even be talking about.
00:01:02.400 I don't think the Liberal Party would be talking about.
00:01:04.760 I don't think the leadership contenders for the Liberal Party would be talking about if it wasn't for Pierre Polyev.
00:01:11.300 So what are they, in no particular order, crime, the carbon tax, housing, immigration, and the cost of living.
00:01:19.860 And I think these five things are probably top of mind for most Canadians, whether you're a Conservative or not.
00:01:25.940 So let's start off with the cost of living.
00:01:31.380 So first up, a couple of clips back-to-back from Pierre Polyev.
00:01:35.480 The first one, he talks about a man who came up to him and says he has to work three jobs and he feels ashamed
00:01:42.740 because he can't buy a home for his kids.
00:01:45.080 And the second one, he talks about inflation, which he blames on Justin Trudeau.
00:01:50.900 Come back right after these clips.
00:01:52.800 We'll find out how Justin Trudeau has reacted to this because Pierre Polyev is the one leading the agenda in Canada.
00:02:00.260 We're renting. We have no hope. We've given up on ever owning a home.
00:02:03.480 We're renting. We can barely make it.
00:02:05.600 And he said to me, I feel ashamed when I talk to my kids because they ask me why I'm never around
00:02:12.900 and why we can never have a house.
00:02:15.760 And I feel like a failure.
00:02:18.260 But he didn't fail.
00:02:20.340 He has been failed.
00:02:23.260 He has been robbed of the promise of Canada.
00:02:28.080 It was a very simple promise that if you worked hard, you got a good life.
00:02:32.980 Now, it wasn't fancy or extravagant, but you got a house with a yard where you could have kids playing safely.
00:02:41.180 And you could have a nice dog that you could afford to feed along with the kids and your kids could play safely in the streets.
00:02:50.800 That was the promise.
00:02:52.020 Now, politicians break promises all the time.
00:02:55.080 But you know what was bad about this promise?
00:02:57.860 This promise didn't belong to this prime minister.
00:03:01.700 It wasn't his promise to break.
00:03:04.040 It belonged to all of us.
00:03:07.600 Inflation, high taxes, deficits, high interest rates are all symptoms.
00:03:13.620 The disease is overspending.
00:03:15.600 When governments spend too much money, there's only three ways to get it.
00:03:18.860 One is to raise your taxes.
00:03:20.620 The other is to borrow, which means that they'll tax you more later on.
00:03:24.180 And the third way is to print money.
00:03:26.580 Now, printing money seems like a painless way to pay for things.
00:03:32.480 But it's very simple.
00:03:35.100 If you have 10 apples and $10 in the economy, it's a bucket apple.
00:03:39.800 If you double the number of dollars in the economy to 20, you still only have 10 apples.
00:03:44.460 You're not twice as rich.
00:03:45.540 It's just that each apple costs twice as much.
00:03:48.420 And that is a tax on the working people because it chews up the purchasing power of your paycheck.
00:03:53.100 Pauliev Eloquent, when he talks about these issues, again, he's driving the agenda in this country.
00:03:59.120 He's talking about this all the time.
00:04:01.160 This was a tweet yesterday where he's pointing out what Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland have done
00:04:06.880 when it comes to costs in this country, the cost of living.
00:04:10.060 But, you know, the reaction from the Trudeau liberals, the Liberal Party, Chrystia Freeland,
00:04:15.060 probably Mark Carney, who was behind this as well, was a GST holiday,
00:04:19.680 which most people thought was just a gimmick.
00:04:21.620 I think it was a gimmick.
00:04:23.540 We've got businesses here in Calgary.
00:04:25.640 Here's a headline right now saying it hasn't really helped out.
00:04:28.540 Now, some businesses say they've had a pickup in sales.
00:04:31.360 But as the Fraser Institute points out, all this is doing is shifting when people buy things.
00:04:35.660 People only have so much expendable cash.
00:04:38.060 They might buy it now because they can get a little break on the GST,
00:04:41.520 but they're not going to be spending that money later.
00:04:43.660 So that's what we get from the Trudeau liberals.
00:04:46.200 But again, this is because Pierre Polyev has been making this an issue.
00:04:49.460 It never was an issue, and this tax holiday never would have come along if it wasn't for Pierre Polyev.
00:04:55.640 So let's move on to the next thing on my list.
00:04:58.680 Let's move along to crime.
00:05:00.680 Another place that Polyev has been leading the way setting the agenda for the Canadian government is on crime.
00:05:08.840 We hear him all the time say jail, not bail.
00:05:11.880 People getting out of jail, going out and committing additional crimes.
00:05:15.220 I'm going to focus on one crime because Polyev put together a devastating video that he put out on X,
00:05:22.700 and it's called You Know What They Say About Imitation.
00:05:25.560 So watch this, and it shows you how Polyev is leading the way when it comes to crime in this country.
00:05:31.020 After eight years of Justin Trudeau, car thefts are up 300% in Toronto, 100% in Ottawa and Montreal.
00:05:38.760 Yesterday we announced our common sense reform of the Federal Criminal Code to put the brakes on auto theft.
00:05:46.660 It includes a mandatory three years of jail for three cars stolen.
00:05:52.280 No more house arrest for career car thieves.
00:05:56.400 Jail, not bail for repeat career car thieves.
00:06:00.340 We're going to save the money that Trudeau's spending on management consultants
00:06:03.760 and put that into boots on the ground.
00:06:06.280 We will use some of this money to invest in state-of-the-art X-ray equipment
00:06:10.240 to allow for rapid scanning of containers at our four major ports.
00:06:14.140 We will purchase 24 of these scanners.
00:06:16.420 Each of them are capable of doing 150 containers per hour.
00:06:21.160 We will hire a special team of CBSA officers on the ground.
00:06:25.660 We will cut $165 million of management consultants to pay for $135 million of stronger security at our ports,
00:06:36.620 saving a net $30 million.
00:06:38.520 Not to mention the billions of dollars we will save by interrupting this extremely costly Trudeau car crisis
00:06:47.720 and putting it to an end once and for all.
00:06:50.080 The agency will explore new detection technology solutions
00:06:54.780 and the use of advanced analytical tools such as artificial intelligence.
00:07:01.680 That announcement overlaps with what the opposition has been calling for for days.
00:07:06.360 Question.
00:07:07.540 Are we talking about machinery and scanners or also to hire officers?
00:07:12.180 Answer.
00:07:13.660 It's for both.
00:07:15.100 It's to hire officers who will conduct those searches
00:07:18.600 and also to hire people in criminal intelligence.
00:07:22.940 Depodev also said that he would be spending millions,
00:07:25.980 that he would outfit the CBSA with new scanners.
00:07:29.240 Essentially, aren't you just repeating what he said he would do yesterday, today?
00:07:33.140 Like, aren't you admitting he has good ideas?
00:07:35.680 No.
00:07:37.020 Mr. Poliev makes up all kinds of things all the time.
00:07:39.940 Is there a better example of how Poliev is setting the agenda
00:07:46.980 when it comes to crime in the country?
00:07:48.560 Now, let's move along to a big one, the carbon tax.
00:07:52.680 Pierre Poliev has been absolutely clear in what he thinks of the carbon tax.
00:07:57.060 He wants to axe the tax.
00:08:00.080 He talks all the time about a carbon tax election.
00:08:02.820 And he may get it sooner than later
00:08:05.640 because it looks like the tides are turning when it comes to the liberals as well.
00:08:09.940 You know that liberals are going door-to-door talking to people in their writings
00:08:13.860 and they're hearing about this all the time.
00:08:15.880 A lot of them say it's time to get rid of this issue
00:08:17.900 because it's going to kill them when it comes to the next election.
00:08:21.380 We know Chrystia Freeland has voted in lockstep with Justin Trudeau
00:08:24.800 and her party for years,
00:08:26.440 every year putting that carbon tax up on April 1st.
00:08:29.420 What does the possible leader of the Liberal Party
00:08:32.540 and the next Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Kearney, think of the carbon tax?
00:08:36.260 I will be very clear that I think the moves that have been made on the carbon price
00:08:42.020 and providing the prospect of having it legislated to 2030,
00:08:45.920 that is one of the most powerful incentives globally
00:08:50.220 to provide support for investment and to encourage investment.
00:08:55.040 Its power will grow with time.
00:08:56.580 Now, so far, carbon prices have been applied sparingly.
00:09:00.300 They've been set far too low in the single digits on average globally,
00:09:04.760 well short of the estimated $80 to $100 a ton
00:09:08.120 needed by the end of this decade to keep us on track to net zero.
00:09:12.140 Isn't it fascinating that Pierre Polyev has driven this agenda so far
00:09:16.560 that people like Freeland and Kearney,
00:09:19.060 who are so in favor of taxing the crap out of you with the carbon tax,
00:09:22.980 are starting to back off on the issue.
00:09:25.160 They're writing news stories about it,
00:09:27.760 and they're putting news stories on the air about this as well.
00:09:31.380 And our political specialist, Glenn McGregor,
00:09:33.780 believes both candidates will propose major changes
00:09:36.940 to Trudeau's current carbon tax.
00:09:40.500 City News has confirmed with Freeland's camp
00:09:43.100 that she intends to walk away from at least the consumer part of the carbon tax.
00:09:49.080 When Kearney was on The Daily Show,
00:09:51.500 he talked about the need to make sure that the biggest emitters,
00:09:54.400 that is the oil and gas sector in Alberta,
00:09:56.680 are paying the commercial part of the carbon tax.
00:09:59.980 So it looks like he wants to continue carbon pricing for industry.
00:10:03.960 So once again, Pierre Polyev driving the agenda here in Canada.
00:10:08.540 And you may see the end of the carbon tax
00:10:10.820 prior to the next election because of him.
00:10:14.700 And because he's been so relentless on that issue.
00:10:17.880 Up next, let's talk about housing.
00:10:20.140 When it comes to housing, we've got a real problem in this country.
00:10:25.120 Not enough houses, not enough rental spaces.
00:10:28.500 Too many people, prices go through the roof.
00:10:30.500 Something Polyev's been talking about for a year and a half to two years.
00:10:33.720 Only a decade ago, the average mortgage payment for a new home was $1,400.
00:10:42.280 Today, $3,200.
00:10:44.880 The average rent on a one-bedroom, about $970.
00:10:49.520 Today, about $1,800.
00:10:52.920 The average needed down payment for a new home, $22,000.
00:10:57.500 Now, $46,000.
00:11:02.020 Double, double, double, trouble.
00:11:07.460 The Trudeau government from the very beginning in 2015
00:11:10.460 said they were going to build more houses.
00:11:12.460 They've spent billions of dollars.
00:11:14.140 They aren't building houses.
00:11:15.640 And just a little while ago, Trudeau said this.
00:11:18.120 Housing isn't a primary federal responsibility.
00:11:21.300 It's not something that we have direct carriage of.
00:11:24.380 But it is something that we can and must help with.
00:11:27.100 Amazing to think that a short time ago,
00:11:29.760 Justin Trudeau said that it's not a federal responsibility.
00:11:33.200 Now, it's not the federal responsibility to pay for people's houses,
00:11:36.460 to subsidize houses for people,
00:11:38.760 but to make it easier for people to build houses
00:11:41.460 so we have more of them in the country.
00:11:43.440 And Trudeau's starting to come around,
00:11:45.500 once again, because of Pierre Polyev.
00:11:47.600 And now let's move on to immigration.
00:11:51.460 Some people say Pierre Polyev has been a little bit slow
00:11:54.620 talking about the immigration issue.
00:11:56.360 Of course, it's a difficult one
00:11:57.920 because as soon as you start talking about immigration,
00:12:00.900 the left starts screaming the R word at you.
00:12:03.740 But he has been very good on this as of late.
00:12:06.900 So I'm going to play a video of Polyev.
00:12:10.120 And because of Polyev talking about this issue,
00:12:12.780 again, driving the agenda,
00:12:14.400 I'll play a clip right after it of Justin Trudeau.
00:12:17.140 They grew the population almost three times as fast as the housing stock.
00:12:22.300 That is entirely a decision of Justin Trudeau and the NDP Liberals.
00:12:28.680 When I'm Prime Minister,
00:12:30.000 population growth will be below the growth in jobs, housing, and health care.
00:12:38.520 Polyev's statement comes as a new survey from Leger and Post Media
00:12:42.080 found 78% of Canadians believe current immigration rates
00:12:45.760 are contributing to the housing crisis,
00:12:48.120 while 76% believe it's contributing to stresses on the health care system.
00:12:52.640 And 72% believe Canada's immigration policy overall is too generous.
00:12:58.120 Let's talk about it.
00:12:59.380 In the last two years,
00:13:00.440 our population has grown really fast,
00:13:02.800 like baby boom fast.
00:13:04.820 And increasingly,
00:13:05.620 bad actors like fake colleges and big chain corporations
00:13:08.560 have been exploiting our immigration system for their own interests.
00:13:12.540 So we're doing something major.
00:13:14.020 We're reducing the numbers of immigrants
00:13:16.180 that will come to Canada for the next three years.
00:13:19.160 Today, I'm going to let you in on what happened,
00:13:21.980 where we made some mistakes,
00:13:23.660 and why we're taking this big turn.
00:13:26.140 So that Trudeau video,
00:13:27.280 a direct reaction to Pierre Polyev,
00:13:30.800 again, driving the agenda in this country.
00:13:33.760 And this issue wouldn't even be an issue
00:13:35.940 if it wasn't for Pierre Polyev and his leadership on this.
00:13:39.280 So look at those five things again,
00:13:40.980 crime, carbon tax, housing, immigration, cost of living.
00:13:45.500 Five huge things,
00:13:47.160 probably five of the biggest things that affect you
00:13:49.580 and your life and how you live here in Canada.
00:13:52.940 And it's all because of one man in this country,
00:13:55.700 not the leader of the country,
00:13:57.800 not the party that leads the country,
00:13:59.800 but because of Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party.
00:14:03.140 He's the guy we need right now.
00:14:04.720 We need an election.
00:14:05.880 We need somebody who thinks seriously about these things
00:14:08.200 and will drive the agenda
00:14:09.600 and drive Canada forward,
00:14:11.560 not backward as we've been going over the last nine years.
00:14:15.040 Thanks a lot for watching the video.
00:14:16.660 I do appreciate it.
