00:00:00.000 Perceived frontrunner in the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race Pierre Polievre isn't
00:00:06.000 only seen as a threat to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, but also to Maxime Bernier and the
00:00:11.600 People's Party of Canada. Both men share similar ideas including wanting to repeal all COVID-19
00:00:18.720 mandates and restrictions. Polievre and Bernier's events have both attracted large crowds and both
00:00:26.160 men marched with veteran James Taub in Ottawa as he ended his incredible journey. I had the
00:00:33.360 opportunity to catch up with Bernier at a picnic the PPC held in Ottawa Strathcona Park on Canada Day
00:00:41.680 and I asked whether or not a Conservative Party led by Pierre Polievre would threaten him and his party.
00:00:49.120 This is what he had to say. Aren't you worried that if Pierre Polievre ruins the Conservative
00:00:54.080 leadership that the PPC could be maybe decimated? No, no. First of all people must know that Pierre
00:01:01.120 Polievre were not there when we needed him, when we needed the Conservative Party of Canada the last
00:01:07.040 two years. Pierre Polievre is a career politician. He was elected for the first time at 24 years old.
00:01:13.360 He never had a real boss and also he's an opportunist politician because of all Canadians and Tamara and
00:01:21.120 James and James and everybody that everybody were there in Ottawa during that freedom convoy. It's
00:01:27.200 because of them that we're able to grow our support from a tiny minority to a stronger minority and when
00:01:34.480 it was not popular to speak about freedom Pierre did it. He did it the last week of the freedom convoy and at
00:01:43.040 that time he took he did a photo op with a tracker. He was not there in from the parliament. It was to
00:01:50.880 I don't know. I don't know. He wasn't there because you know at that time
00:01:56.960 he doesn't want to be with us because of the mainstream media. He was listening to mainstream media
00:02:01.840 and the polls so you cannot count on him to defend our civilization and our freedoms. But I'm very pleased
00:02:08.480 that today he's speaking like that. But I believe that you must judge a man and a politician by his
00:02:14.000 action. Where were he the last two years? Nowhere to be seen. So that being said he may win the
00:02:20.880 leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. But like I said in 2018 when I resigned from that party
00:02:29.360 I said the Conservative Party of Canada is intellectually and morally corrupt because they are not conservative.
00:02:36.000 They're only conservative in name and they're speaking about leftist values and they're promoting
00:02:43.040 socialism. So when you do that and you have as the name a conservative you are giving more credibility
00:02:50.240 to the leftist narrative. That's what the Conservative Party is doing. And I believe that with Poliev,
00:02:56.080 O'Toole or another leader their only goal is to be in government and when they'll be in government
00:03:01.600 they will be the same like the Liberals because they won't have any mandates to do bold reforms.
00:03:08.640 They don't they don't speak about that. So they will go to the left because they will need to have
00:03:14.320 the support of the people living in the GDA and there's more seats in the GDA than in all Alberta.
00:03:20.800 So Poliev will will do his transition maybe in a couple of months after winning the leadership.
00:03:28.160 So but us the BBC we are we will be always there. We're not doing politics by survey on polling.
00:03:35.200 We're doing politics by conviction and determination and our goal is to speak about freedom and our values
00:03:41.520 individual freedom personal responsibility. I did it at the first election in 2019. I did it at the last
00:03:47.120 election in 2021 and I'll do it at the next election. That's why we are doing politics differently because
00:03:53.600 we're not looking at polling and survey. We have conviction and we believe that they are the best
00:03:58.320 conviction. We have a vision for this country based on more freedoms and more prosperity for all Canadians.
00:04:04.480 So we won't change our platform before the election. It's always the same platform but for the
00:04:09.440 Conservatives they will do polling and focus group and they will tell you what you want to hear and after
00:04:15.040 that they will do maybe the opposite when they'll be in government. So we cannot trust establishment
00:04:20.800 politicians and establishment political parties. We need to do that freedom revolution that common
00:04:26.080 sense revolution and the only vehicle for that is the People's Party of Canada and we are growing you
00:04:33.120 know where the mainstream media were saying after our first election or Bernie and the BBC are dead.
00:04:40.240 No we started that party in 2018 at with zero percent 2019 our first election 1.6 percent the last
00:04:46.960 election 2021 five percent and I can tell you this party will grow and I will travel across the country
00:04:53.440 and meet people and meet Canadians and we'll have support from people with different political
00:04:58.560 backgrounds that are fed up with the statute quo so they can count on us and I believe that I can count
00:05:04.080 on them. Unlike the legacy media True North will always give you objective and fair coverage of right of
