John Bolton - Pierre Poilievre WON... but has ANYTHING CHANGED？

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 4.50am. It is Wednesday, August 20th with the Big Blue

00:00:10.460 Mug of Coffee. I hope you're having a great day today. Just a couple of days away from

00:00:14.800 the weekend and really hard to believe we're less than two weeks away from the end of August.

00:00:19.860 Where the hell did the summer go? Now, before I get into today's video, a small request

00:00:25.720 of you if you've not subscribed to the channel. I am this close to 35,000 subscribers. This

00:00:32.580 close. And if you click on subscribe right now, you might be the person that puts me over

00:00:38.040 the top. Thank you so much. I do appreciate it. It's been an interesting summer. I think

00:00:42.660 it's bad news when we're talking about politics all the time. It's supposed to be quiet. It's

00:00:47.100 the dog days of summer. Politicians call it the rubber chicken circuit. They go to a lot

00:00:51.840 of backyard barbecues where they eat a lot of rubber chicken. It's bad news when we're

00:00:56.360 constantly talking about politics through the summertime. But one of the things that

00:01:00.340 has been resolved happened on Monday that would be the by-election in Battle River Crowfoot.

00:01:05.320 And of course, you know, Pierre Polyev won in a big way. And I'm happy about that. I did

00:01:09.460 a video on it yesterday. I think that Polyev is probably second only to maybe Daniel Smith

00:01:14.880 as being a smart politician and somebody who wants to stick up for the country. Of course,

00:01:20.900 Daniel Smith wants to stick up for her province, Alberta. So that's why I put her right at the top.

00:01:26.480 But I'm glad Polyev won the other day. The left right now going into overdrive, trying to

00:01:33.040 make excuses for the fact that their girl, Bonnie Critchley, lost. Did well, I would say,

00:01:39.540 with about 10% of the vote as an independent the other day. Well, what did you expect when she got

00:01:44.980 millions and millions of dollars in free advertising from the mainstream media who hate Pierre Polyev?

00:01:49.880 She should have done a lot better. And this guy actually posted this on X yesterday saying that

00:01:54.260 Bonnie Critchley was the biggest winner in the by-election the other day. And I posted a one

00:01:59.840 word response, coping. But let me ask you this question. Now that this distraction is over,

00:02:06.800 and I'm talking about that by-election, what has really changed? Other than the fact Polyev has a seat

00:02:13.180 again. And he's an MP representing Alberta now and not a riding in Ontario. So let's go through a few

00:02:20.480 things and let's find out what has changed. Okay. Has anything really changed? Well,

00:02:25.620 the gun grab from lawful gun owners continues. Equalization hasn't changed. The online harms act

00:02:33.760 is coming. CBC funding will be entrenched in law. EV mandates are still government policy.

00:02:40.500 Net zero is Mark Carney's religion. The no pipelines bill is still in effect. The no tanker

00:02:46.960 bill is still in effect. Emissions caps are still in effect. Massive deficits are growing larger.

00:02:54.340 The East will still rule over the West. Carney gives vetoes to every group under the sun to stop

00:03:00.820 prosperity. Leftist premiers get in the way. Leftist premiers call themselves conservative.

00:03:07.000 Doug Ford. The private media is still funded by liberals. Immigration is still too high. Nowhere 0.55

00:03:15.460 near Polyev's negative immigration. And the liberals are hiding the real numbers. Polyev still supports

00:03:22.480 supply management. Polyev doesn't support what's best for Alberta, which would be independence.

00:03:28.740 Polyev will still have to kiss Quebec and eastern province butts if he ever wants to become prime 0.68

00:03:34.800 minister. The cost of living is not going down. The housing crisis will continue to get worse.

00:03:41.840 Tariffs are still in effect. And they're worse than before Mark Carney. The elbows up people are

00:03:47.300 still walking around with elbows up. The elbows up people believe everything they're told by Carney,

00:03:53.260 including that Canada is strong. It's not. The elbows up people continue to believe in a broken

00:03:59.380 country. The liberals are still in power after more than 10 years. Canada is more and more a leftist

00:04:07.060 country. Alberta is tired of being Canada's piggy bank. Canada is increasingly irrelevant on the world

00:04:13.920 stage. Canada is still mediocre. And if an election were held today, Mark Carney and the liberals would

00:04:20.140 likely win a majority, even after all the things I listed. And my list isn't even complete. I'm sure

00:04:26.660 if I thought about it, I could come up with 100 more. And none of this is going to change now that

00:04:33.260 Pierre Polyev has won Battle River Crowfoot. None of it. Again, I'm happy that Polyev won, but his win

00:04:40.720 doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. The only answer now is for Albertans, and I'm

00:04:47.280 speaking as an Albertan here, the only answer is for Alberta to leave. So we need to start focusing

00:04:52.480 on independence and not get distracted by anti-independence propaganda, like Thomas Lukaszek's

00:04:58.900 fake stay in Canada referendum. And don't be distracted by news articles that seem to push

00:05:04.840 the narrative that the independence movement is weak, like these two stories that are running this

00:05:09.940 morning in the National Post that say virtually nothing about the independence movement, but it is

00:05:16.300 featured prominently in the headlines. What I'm asking you to do now that Pierre Polyev has won

00:05:22.120 in Battle River Crowfoot and nothing has changed is start focusing on independence. Keep your eyes on

00:05:29.480 the prize, folks. Take some time out to go to an Alberta Prosperity Project gathering. Here's a little

00:05:34.840 list of some of the events that are coming up right now. Be sure to go to the website, which I'll put

00:05:39.440 in the description and RSVP. They are fantastic. There's more every day and they're happening all

00:05:45.580 the time. Our movement is growing. Keep your eyes on the prize. Nothing has changed now that Pierre Polyev

00:05:52.980 is an Alberta MP. Thank you very much for watching. I do appreciate it. If you liked the video, please

00:05:58.840 give me a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications. I'll see you in the next one.

00:06:09.440 I'll see you in the next one.
