00:01:27.980 Conservative volunteers are urging the crowd not to engage with the protesters, which are trying to get a rise out of the estimated at least 4,000 Canadians showing up for Polyev.
00:01:39.700 There's so many people here, thousands of them likely not going to be able to get into the venue.

00:02:07.360 We're going to try to speak with some supporters, listen to the rally, and just get a sense of why people are supporting Pierre in such great numbers.
00:02:15.620 A liberal government that has weakened our economy, left us with unaffordable housing, rising crime, and vulnerable in the face of the threats of Donald Trump.
00:02:37.380 Or, are we going to elect a conservative government who's going to put Canada first for a change?

00:03:52.540 I'm here because after 10 years, after the last 10 years, if things continue as they are, then I don't really see a lot of hope for this country.

00:04:10.640 He may actually win, but he doesn't deserve to win.
00:04:13.920 He hasn't earned the right to win.
00:04:16.460 And I think Canadians are being deceived into who he is, what he stands for.
00:04:22.680 And I think there's a lot, this election really does matter.
00:04:26.440 I'm here to support Paulyev because I'm tired of the Liberals destroying this country.
00:04:32.800 The last 10 years have been excruciating to live in this country.
00:04:36.700 It's been very hard to be proud to be a Canadian in this country because of what the Liberals have done.
00:04:40.680 And I'm here to back the PCs because of Pierre's platform.
00:04:45.900 It couldn't be a better person right now to represent Canada and get this country back to where it used to be before the Liberals took over.

00:05:11.660 He doesn't speak for Canadians.
00:05:13.580 He's going to just be for big business in his Brookfield and all of his assets and just try to make him and his cronies richer.

00:05:37.620 The polls are BS.
00:05:39.440 100% BS.
00:05:41.040 Anybody with half a brain that comes out to these rallies and sees what happens here and they watch what happens at Carney's rallies knows what really is happening in this country.
00:05:51.140 It is going to be a PC whitewash.
00:05:52.840 They're going to wipe the Liberals off the map in this next election. 0.96
00:05:56.300 I guarantee it.
00:05:57.280 There's no way that the Liberals are going to continue the destruction of this country.
00:06:02.140 Canadians have realized what they're doing.
00:06:04.660 This is over.
00:06:06.260 It's over for the Liberals.
00:06:07.640 Did you think about the energy at the rally today?
00:06:10.620 It's, uh, there was a, you know, everyone's all positive and everything.
00:06:17.260 So, I mean, I think, uh, I have a good, confident, um, idea of, uh, where we're going with this.
00:06:26.100 I think we have a chance, a very good chance to, uh, get this election.
00:06:30.900 What do you think they hope, um, the Conservative leader can bring to Canada?
00:06:35.440 Pierre's right when he says, um, it's been a lost decade, like a lost Liberal decade, and you can see it all around you, like the housing prices, groceries, inflation, and everything.
00:06:47.540 And I do believe in his idea of, like, asking the tax, and hopefully this is what will bring us back to where we were, right?
00:06:56.760 Bring it home.
00:06:57.320 Is there anything I didn't ask you that you think is relevant you'd like to add?
00:07:00.740 I've never, uh, voted before, and the way things are going right now, uh, I'm 30 years old, but it's really come to a time where I think that I need to vote.
00:07:11.600 And if I don't, like, things will get worse. Much, much, much worse.
00:07:18.240 So, hopefully this is for the future. I can make a change, do something, do what I can, and I would say I'll vote. I need to vote. Everyone needs to vote.
00:07:29.280 So, the rally is about wrapped up now. Uh, people have, uh, left. Pierre Polyev said that there was 6,000 people. I heard from organizers 6,500, uh, people showed up. Um, when I was in line 30 minutes prior to the doors opening, I heard from organizers that there was 4,000 people, um, in the line.
00:07:51.280 Speaking to supporters, you hear things like, um, there's no other choice. Um, it's, you know, the fate of the country is at stake. There's, it seems like there's, like, a lot of, um, participants to this rally, uh, truly feel like Pierre Polyev is, is their best hope. Um, and that if the Liberals win, it's, it would be the end of Canada.
00:08:13.980 Uh, we spoke to the Pleb reporter who, who explicitly said that. He thinks that if, uh, if Liberals win, Alberta will secede. There'll be a national unity crisis.
00:08:25.680 There was three medical emergencies that happened. Uh, Pierre had to, uh, stop the, his speech multiple times. Of course, a lot of, uh, protesters are, uh, really hopeful and, and energetic about, and enthusiastic about, uh, a potential conservative victory.
