John Bolton - What Everyone’s Missing About Today’s Crucial Vote… CHRISTMAS comes early

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 3.56 a.m., Tuesday, December the 9th. I hope

00:00:08.440 you're having a great day today. Perhaps I should call myself Santa John today. I think

00:00:14.020 we could get an early Christmas present today, folks. And if you're a conservative, which

00:00:19.100 I think you are, you should be rooting for two parties today. I've got a little different

00:00:22.880 take on what's going on in the House of Commons and a special vote that's happening. That's

00:00:28.280 why I'm wearing the Santa hat. I've got the big blue mug of coffee, and I do have a different

00:00:32.460 take on this. I think the conservatives could get a gift today, and we should be rooting

00:00:39.480 for Pierre Polyef, who has been great, by the way. I'm going to play a clip of him in the

00:00:43.680 House of Commons. The condescension is just glorious. Coming out of his mouth. Just glorious. We

00:00:53.100 should also be rooting for the NDP today. Now, don't think I'm nuts. We should be rooting

00:00:58.980 for the NDP today. And I'm going to explain more of that in just a moment. What are we

00:01:03.680 talking about today? We're talking about this going on, the vote happening today. Conservative

00:01:09.060 motion will force liberals to put up or shut up on oil pipeline support polyam. Motion calls

00:01:14.280 government to support oil pipeline construction. Adjust BC oil tanker ban. You see, Mark Carney

00:01:20.560 has been trying to reimagine himself as a proponent for oil and gas in this country when, well,

00:01:26.780 Polyev mentions it, but of course he's talked about keeping half of the oil and gas in the

00:01:31.700 ground. And, you know, I think Daniel Smith helped him reimagine himself a little bit by

00:01:36.820 signing the memorandum of understanding with him, which she had to do. Don't hold that against

00:01:42.040 Daniel Smith. She had to do that, or she would look like she was the one getting in front of

00:01:46.800 an oil pipeline and keeping it from happening. The Conservatives helped Carney a little bit with

00:01:51.300 this as well by voting in favor of C5, the law that allows Carney to somewhat get around the oil

00:01:57.760 tanker ban and oil pipelines to the West Coast, but not really because those laws are still on the

00:02:03.740 books. But today's vote is a chance to fracture the Liberal Party. Okay, let's go over here to what

00:02:11.900 they're going to be voting on today. Just quickly, we need a new pipeline to the Pacific. On Tuesday,

00:02:16.900 the House of Commons will vote on a conservative motion for a new oil pipeline to the Pacific

00:02:20.900 coast, overriding the tanker ban to ship bitumen to Asia, bring home jobs, put Canada first.

00:02:26.480 And here's how simple it is. And this is using the words of the Liberals in the memorandum of

00:02:32.340 understanding. A, take note of the memorandum of understanding between Canada and Alberta of

00:02:37.940 November 27th, 2025. And B, supports the construction of one or more pipelines, enabling

00:02:43.940 the export of at least 1 million barrels a day of low emission Alberta bitumen from a strategic

00:02:49.420 deepwater port on the British Columbia coast to reach Asian markets, including through an

00:02:54.180 appropriate adjustment to the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act, while respecting the duty to consult

00:03:00.100 Indigenous people. So using the words of the Liberals against them. And this could fracture the

00:03:04.680 Liberal Party today. Who knows how they're going to vote? And there's another thing that needs to be

00:03:10.280 discussed here, which I'm going to get to at the end. Folks, this country is broken.

00:03:17.160 Poliev said it over and over and over again. The Liberals used it against him in the last election.

00:03:21.220 Canada is broken. I'm going to prove it to you in just a few moments here. So hold on for that as

00:03:24.700 well. But we should be rooting for the NDP. So I want to play this clip of Pierre Poliev. Oh God,

00:03:29.900 this is beautiful. The condescension dripping from his lips. It's just magnificent. And honestly,

00:03:37.440 folks, I'm glad he's back in the House of Commons. I'm glad he won his by-election after losing

00:03:42.360 back on April 28th, because this guy is the gift that just keeps on giving.

00:03:46.500 In the spirit of Christmas, I decided to take a great act of generosity and lift the words right out

00:03:54.980 of the Prime Minister's MOU in order to support a pipeline to the Pacific and a repeal or an

00:04:02.960 overriding of the Liberal tanker ban. Now, of course, it would mean Liberals would have to admit they

00:04:09.540 were wrong, admit they were wrong to block that pipeline. They were wrong about the tanker ban.

00:04:15.220 Will, in the spirit of Christmas, Liberals admit they were wrong, vote for their own wording, approve a

00:04:20.760 pipeline and get rid of the tanker ban?

00:04:22.400 In the spirit of Christmas, I'd invite the leader of the opposition not to cherry-pick

00:04:27.040 parts of the MOU, but to support the entire MOU, which is what all of the Conservative Premiers

00:04:34.840 across this country are doing, which is what this side is doing. It's how we will build something.

00:04:39.500 Stop being cynical and build this country with us.

00:04:43.280 I think the only division here is that the Prime Minister is divided against himself.

00:04:48.380 The Prime Minister opposed the pipeline to the Pacific. Now he claims he supports it.

00:04:55.340 He supported the tanker ban. Now he claims he opposed it.

00:04:59.540 Mr. Speaker, this is the Prime Minister who said he wanted to keep half of our oil in the ground,

00:05:04.160 and now he pretends to have changed his mind. He signed an MOU. He says one thing in BC, the opposite in Alberta,

00:05:13.320 and here in the House of Commons, he hides under his desk. Why don't the Prime Minister stand up,

00:05:18.280 take a position, and announce that he's voting in favour of his MOU language to build a pipeline?

00:05:23.400 Wasn't that great? He's the gift that keeps on giving. I said prior to the election that I love him

00:05:33.280 in the House of Commons. I think he's one of the best ever. That is just great. So why do I think

00:05:38.940 we should be rooting for the NDP today? I've said it here on this channel before that the Liberals

00:05:44.160 outflanked the NDP on the left. And they took a lot of their policies, and it made them irrelevant.

00:05:53.680 And one of them is the environment. They outflanked the NDP when it came to the environment. And the

00:05:59.800 NDP right now are trying to take it back, and today's vote could make that very, very evident.

00:06:06.660 If we look at what happened in the last election, despite what the left will tell you on how

00:06:11.360 Pierre Polyev lost a huge lead in this election, the Conservatives picked up 25 seats. Polyev did

00:06:17.320 very well. If it weren't for the NDP losing all these seats, look at how many they lost,

00:06:22.280 and the Bloc Québécois, the Conservatives would have won, not because the Conservatives did poorly,

00:06:27.920 but because the other parties did. So the NDP has a chance to win in a big way today. Here's Pierre

00:06:34.440 Polyev talking about the NDP. I think he sees what I'm talking about here today, which I don't think

00:06:39.480 other people are saying. The NDP voting tomorrow to block a new pipeline to the Pacific and keep

00:06:43.780 the costly Liberal oil tanker ban in place. In fairness, at least we know where the NDP stand.

00:06:48.500 Meanwhile, Mark Carney is hiding under a rock, refusing to tell his position.

00:06:53.580 We go over to this one here. Calgary Liberal MP indicates he is voting against a pipeline to the

00:06:59.200 Pacific, betraying the city's driving industry. The keep it in the ground caucus of the Liberal

00:07:04.500 Party is still in charge, despite the hype and announcements. So here's what might be happening.

00:07:12.080 If you look at somebody like Stephen Gilboa, former Environment Minister, Environment and Climate

00:07:18.160 Change, by the way, that's the title. He's no longer a minister. He's pissed off about this.

00:07:25.520 Stephen Gilboa belongs in the NDP, not the Liberal Party. And there are a lot of Liberal MPs sitting

00:07:32.700 right now. There's, I think, at least five right now that are talking about walking. But a lot of

00:07:37.380 people in the Liberal Party are like Stephen Gilboa. This is the huge issue for them, the biggest issue

00:07:43.660 for them. And they have constituents who voted for them on this issue alone, pipelines and oil and

00:07:51.700 climate change. And they would be better off in the Liberal Party. You could see a fracturing happening

00:07:56.200 here today. And the NDP is trying to take the mantle of environmentalism out of the hands of the

00:08:02.080 Liberals once again, because they were always the party that outflanked the Liberals on the left when

00:08:07.480 it came to that issue. If we go over to this story here from the Hill Times.

00:08:13.080 Sell out of the century, NDP leadership candidates decry Alberta energy deal in the first debate.

00:08:18.600 Ottawa and Alberta's memorandum of understanding paving the way for a pipeline project running from

00:08:23.080 Alberta's oil patch to BC's coastline became a topic of discussion as NDP leader hopefuls faced off in

00:08:29.620 their first debate in Montreal on November 27th. This is a huge issue for them. They see an

00:08:34.320 opportunity here to drag some Liberals across the aisle to their side. This is a big, big thing today.

00:08:42.360 If you look at Abby Lewis, far leftist, not likely to win this thing. Heather McPherson, 1.00

00:08:48.400 I think she might be the leader here, who happens to be from Alberta and is running against Danielle

00:08:56.200 Smith. If you follow her X account, here's Abby Lewis. This is his Green New Deal, which he came 0.56

00:09:01.200 out for the other day, all about climate. And if you go down here, he pumps power lines, not pipelines,

00:09:10.540 no federal approvals for new pipelines. There are people in the Liberal Party who think this.

00:09:16.560 Here's Pierre Polyev again, asked about this Green New Deal by Abby Lewis. Listen to this.

00:09:21.360 Avi Lewis today came out with a Green Plan Canada. Shut down all fossil fuel production and all the

00:09:28.520 jobs in that sector will go to something else. He also made a suggestion during the recent debate

00:09:33.900 that... Sounds like what Mark Carney was writing about in his book called Values. I think Mark Carney

00:09:39.420 will like the idea. He, you know, he wrote all about it and he believed in it for a decade. So...

00:09:44.360 I gave Stephen Gilboa credit when he resigned as minister after the Memorandum of Understanding was

00:09:52.300 signed between Carney and Danielle Smith. At least he has the strength of his convictions.

00:09:58.000 And if there's a vote in the House of Commons today in favor of a pipeline and the Liberals vote in

00:10:03.860 favor of it, I wouldn't be surprised if he just resigned his seat completely or walked across the aisle to

00:10:08.360 the NDP. This is the religion of these people. You remember, this is Stephen Gilboa right here.

00:10:13.520 Greenpeace activists scaled the CN Tower. One of them, Stephen Gilboa, 31. You've seen the picture.

00:10:20.460 Here he is in his jumpsuit. There he is. This is what he believes. And there could be other ones in

00:10:27.360 the Liberal Party. I think people are missing out on this. This is huge today. Could be huge. We could

00:10:32.340 get a Christmas present. Now, here's the other thing that I think is... It just shows how broken Canada is.

00:10:40.180 This is from Global Energy Monitor. Okay. And these are pipelines, oil and gas around the world right

00:10:49.220 now. I mean, you look at here. This is where I live. This is Alberta. It's as if the hand of God

00:10:57.840 came down and said, here are wealth and riches beyond what you can imagine. Albertans get it out

00:11:03.680 of the ground. Trillions of dollars to make you rich. It's right here and we can't get a lot. And we have

00:11:09.140 a lot of pipelines, but look at very few go over to the coast. We've got much, not much is coming out

00:11:13.920 of the province, folks. And if you look what's happening over here, let me just zoom out a little

00:11:19.300 bit. Over here, you've got proposed, announced, or discovered. All these green dots are proposed,

00:11:25.560 announced, or discovered. And they're everywhere. And the blue ones are in construction. And they're

00:11:31.620 everywhere. There's blue dots all over this. And in Canada, we have to play games in the House of

00:11:37.800 Commons in order to get a single pipeline built. It's maddening. What is wrong with this country?

00:11:48.440 Canada's broken. It's right there in Alberta and other places across the country. And we have to play

00:11:56.300 games in the House of Commons in order to get any support for a pipeline. It's just so infuriating.

00:12:04.380 Going to be interesting today. So I'm rooting for the conservatives. I'm rooting for the NDP because

00:12:09.700 if people go over to the NDP and voters go over there, the conservatives slip right down the middle.

00:12:14.620 We're dividing the left here, folks. Thank you very much for watching. If you liked the video,

00:12:18.860 please give me a thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel. Ring the bell for notifications. Merry Christmas to

00:12:23.980 you. And I'll see you in the next one.
