00:00:00.000 It seems like this is a weird time in Canadian politics where a lot of so-called conservatives

00:00:04.320 are jumping ship. Even popular right-wing YouTubers are using their massive platforms

00:00:09.240 to turn on Polyev. This includes a certain person that has half a million subscribers on YouTube.

00:00:15.960 I've had complaints about this guy for a long time and have been holding a lot of stuff back

00:00:19.900 and now it's finally time for me to rip this dude apart. His name as you may have guessed is Mr.

00:00:24.560 Sunshine Baby. Personally I find it hard to take anyone with a name like that seriously.

00:00:29.320 However I try to judge people by their content and not by their names. He recently put out a video

00:00:33.660 where he basically announced that he's done with Polyev and he believes that he's peaked in

00:00:37.560 popularity. I'm going to go through his video and show you how he's 100% wrong and Polyev will still 0.92

00:00:43.260 succeed. So let's start off with him showing us his credentials quote-unquote for doing political

00:00:48.320 commentary. For those who don't know I only started making videos because I was so pissed off in seeing

00:00:55.120 what was happening with the Freedom Convoy in 2022. Before that I lived in a van and I used to make

00:01:01.220 van light videos. I would just travel around in my van with my dogs and be like oh cool look another

00:01:06.680 beach I can park at down by the river all that stuff. I got pissed off one day seeing what happened

00:01:11.580 with the convoy. So I talked a little bit online about my military experience and then boom my channel

00:01:18.360 took off. And now here I am with all of these channels and politics so I'm not educated in this

00:01:24.080 I'm just a regular dude that literally lived in a freaking van for like five years who's been sharing

00:01:29.660 his political opinion online. So right off the bat he's literally admitting that he's uneducated 0.71

00:01:34.060 and knows absolutely nothing about politics. This is an important point and I want you to keep that in

00:01:39.040 mind as the video goes on. Now as a side note I actually got into making videos because of people

00:01:43.880 like him. I looked at some of the youtubers that were covering conservative politics and I thought

00:01:47.960 I can do it better. Now to be honest I don't have formal training in politics in terms of education

00:01:53.360 however I spent four years in post-secondary for business. I also have experience working with

00:01:58.540 politicians and journalists on a local level in Toronto. So when I give opinions on business or

00:02:04.300 economics I'm backing that up with my education as well as my work experience. And when I give opinions

00:02:10.040 on politicians or journalists and backing that up with my experiences working with them in 2018 and

00:02:15.420 2019. And it looks like I'm doing a pretty good job so far. Let me know what you think below. Anyway let's

00:02:21.220 get back to the criticism. So you had two conservative MPs that did not vote initially when the votes were

00:02:29.160 there because they apparently didn't have access and they were late to coming into the um into the square

00:02:37.660 into the parliament building okay. The doors close nobody's in nobody's out. Except the problem with

00:02:44.180 that is they're actually here behind the curtains. And the reason why they're behind the curtains is

00:02:50.740 Andrew Scheer and another conservative MP is because they did the old trick of well who's who's going to

00:02:57.320 the party right. You know you get invited to a party and it's like hey yeah yeah sure I'll go I'll go

00:03:02.080 bowling I'll go to the bar. But who else is going first right like before I commit to anything who

00:03:07.380 else is going. That's what happened. Everyone wants to topple the other party but nobody apparently wants

00:03:14.420 to call a federal election. Nobody wants to trigger it. So the conservatives strategy was to have at least

00:03:22.220 two of their members of parliament not vote. They just abstain from voting which is absolutely disgusting.

00:03:28.680 And then other two conservative MPs which are hiding behind the curtain their job was to wait

00:03:36.260 until after all the votes were made and then they would come out of the curtain and say hey whoa we

00:03:43.020 forgot we didn't there was a technical error which is actually what Andrew Scheer said. There's a

00:03:47.340 technical error I cast my vote as as no. So they waited to see what the performance of the vote was

00:03:52.720 before they cast their vote. That's a truth that will never be rejected. That's objectively factual

00:04:00.200 and if you don't like hearing that then I'm sorry but that's on you not me. Just to be fair Mr. Sunshine

00:04:05.980 maybe has a point here. It was a little bit weird how they do that but my understanding based on research

00:04:11.300 is that the conservatives really didn't want a Christmas election. Part of the reason is that people

00:04:15.860 are busy during Christmas and they might hold it against the conservatives if they have to go out and

00:04:20.160 vote again especially on the same year as another federal election. So I just want to be fair Mr.

00:04:25.120 Sunshine and Baby does have a bit of a point here however he's completely missing the bigger picture.

00:04:29.880 Now we're going to take a look at one of the MPs that abstained from voting. This guy right here

00:04:35.600 Matt Jenneru who resigned not too too long ago. Well it turns out that his last vote in the House of

00:04:42.300 Commons was November 5th and the last time he intervened in a House committee was October 27th.

00:04:48.660 The last time he spoke was October 9th. So let's focus on the November 5th part. Even though he's

00:04:54.180 committed to resigning in spring he's still able to vote on this. So just out of curiosity right if

00:05:00.200 he's resigned and he's not voting he's probably forfeiting his salary right? Wrong he's not he's

00:05:06.720 getting paid. Well how much is his salary? $209,800 and change is the new salary according

00:05:13.760 to April 1st 2025. That's per year. So let's just take a look now at some basic math which of course

00:05:20.660 I went to AI for because I'm a little regarded in this situation in this topic. Okay I just want to

00:05:27.360 interject this seems kind of silly to me. This is a really really basic calculation. If you have to use

00:05:32.420 artificial intelligence to calculate this he should have paid better attention in school. Now once

00:05:37.780 again I get his point however this just seems a bit weird to me. I don't know about you but if that

00:05:43.240 happened to the liberals or the NDP you would likely be angry about that but since it's a conservative

00:05:49.120 what what happened? I don't know. That reeks. Now once again I still get his point however if you

00:05:56.820 remember I was highly critical of Genaro. I didn't buy the excuse that he quit to spend time with his

00:06:02.140 family. I didn't buy it for one second. What I believed happened is Genaro did plan on crossing the

00:06:07.280 aisle but he pulled back and he only did that because he feared negative backlash. So now we got to talk

00:06:12.980 about why the conservatives didn't want an election or did they or didn't they? It's all very confusing.

00:06:21.800 Is it strategy? Because Jagmeet Singh said it was strategy for years to not call an election under

00:06:27.060 Justin Trudeau and then he all thought you know maybe that would give the NDP some leeway and some

00:06:32.580 momentum to gather more votes and more support and it obliterated his party and it absolutely ended his

00:06:37.940 career. So there's two ways to look at this. One way is that Pierre Polyev is getting more and more

00:06:44.440 popular which I absolutely reject that idea. I think that it's the other way and we're going to focus on

00:06:50.800 that. That Pierre Polyev has peaked because you see in day-to-day politics if we remove COVID if we

00:06:56.520 remove massive protests like the Freedom Convoy if we just focus on committee hearings question period

00:07:03.140 putting forward policies the song and dance of politics that's boring fake and borderline kind of

00:07:09.900 gay we don't have massive political outrage in this country. We never actually have. The only reason 1.00

00:07:17.140 people hated Justin Trudeau as much as he did is yeah his policies his politics were horrible but it

00:07:22.740 all really boils down to COVID. He locked people up he ostracized people he's accused people who didn't

00:07:29.900 want to participate in those activities of being ABCD and then the Freedom Convoy happened and he

00:07:36.300 absolutely demolished peaceful protesters and so that was outside of the norm. We've never actually seen

00:07:42.460 that happen in Canada to that scale and then Trudeau became an international villain. So as Trudeau

00:07:47.780 tanked in popularity his political opponents rose. Gagmeet Singh actually gained a significant amount of

00:07:55.480 popularity during that time. Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives also gained a significant amount of

00:07:59.760 popularity during that time and here's where things get a little uncomfortable for some. I am under the

00:08:07.340 firm belief objectively that the Conservative Party of Canada under Pierre Polyev have peaked in popularity.

00:08:15.300 Pierre Polyev was phenomenal against Justin Trudeau that made me fall in love with him. No homo right 1.00

00:08:21.680 politically speaking I love the way he talked I love his debate style eating the apple exposing Trudeau

00:08:28.420 it was awesome for clicks it was awesome for reviews people loved it people would sit at the bar and talk

00:08:33.980 about it for the first time ever people outside of just politics consumers were talking about Pierre Polyev

00:08:41.000 shitting on Trudeau because it was beautiful it was poetic but that's not happening anymore and that

00:08:47.180 international villain has come and gone and no matter how much you may dislike Carney and how much we don't like 0.98

00:08:53.860 Carney's policies in this massive deficit unless there's another COVID style thing that happens or war that

00:09:01.140 literally hits Canadian soil due to incompetent leadership he'll never be as hated as what Justin Trudeau was.

00:09:08.700 Sure protests still take place sure he gets booed at the CFL and this is an unpopular opinion but people

00:09:15.120 aren't buying F Carney merch not that like they used to in the Trudeau era and yes I'm using merch as a metric

00:09:23.160 for this not my merch just in general when have you ever seen F Carney stickers or flags flying on pickup trucks

00:09:29.800 and F Carney protests like it's just not happening the way it did with Justin Trudeau and that's okay

00:09:35.260 all right this is the part where his argument really starts to fall apart I want to make something really

00:09:39.460 clear Polyev never lost the support of his base anyone that was conservative and planned on voting

00:09:45.760 for him we're still going to vote for him even after Mark Carney got into power what happened is that

00:09:50.900 the liberals actually regained support that was lost due to Justin Trudeau and the only reason they got

00:09:56.260 their support back was because of Donald Trump what happened is that after Donald Trump started the

00:10:00.860 trade war the centrists that were thinking about voting conservative came back to the liberals and

00:10:06.420 the NDP not all of them but some of them came to the liberals because they wanted to vote strategically

00:10:11.460 to get rid of Polyev and they wanted to get rid of Polyev because they thought he was too similar to

00:10:16.780 Trump now I'm not saying that's true that's just what they thought when you look at the polls back in

00:10:21.460 February 2025 conservatives were at 46 liberals were at 27 and the NDP was at 15 now Mark Carney

00:10:29.360 became the leader of the liberal party on March 14th and also prime minister in early April the

00:10:34.860 liberals and the conservatives were tied at 39 while the NDP was at 11 the rest of the party stayed

00:10:40.580 about the same now some conservative commentators will blame Polyev they'll say he didn't do enough

00:10:45.480 American podcast I don't buy that I don't think that would have changed anything because most people

00:10:50.880 that watch those podcasts were already going to vote for Polyev the big problem was Trump if Trump

00:10:56.340 closed his big mouth we never would have had this problem in the first place the liberals needed

00:11:00.780 something to scare people away from the conservatives and Trump played right into their hand we can move

00:11:06.400 on from that and we can try to fix Canada in a different way in a different timeline with a

00:11:11.880 different circumstance in a different set of cards and different political opponents but all of this

00:11:17.620 needs to be understood that Pierre Polyev has actually peaked and that's the real reason why the

00:11:25.160 conservative party didn't want an election to be called on this budget so they did the theatrics of

00:11:31.220 saying nay nay nay we don't vote for the budget Andrew Scheer hid behind the curtain waiting for the results

00:11:37.120 oh hey I know don't forget about me I also voted nay kind of weird but now we have to take a look at the cold

00:11:44.960 hard facts right well the western standard which is a very conservative outlet talks about Carney's

00:11:50.580 approval climbing as Pierre Polyev hits lowest favorability in his leadership right here prime

00:11:57.500 minister Carney may have been booed at the great cup but new polling suggests he's still gaining

00:12:02.240 uh ground with voters as conservative leader Pierre Polyev faces the weakest numbers in his tenure

00:12:07.520 and I've said this before and I'll say it again if I ever talk to a politician there is only one

00:12:14.180 question I would ever want asking go back several years as far back as you would like and scan through

00:12:18.840 all the videos look through all the transcripts if you'd like I stay true to this only one question I'd

00:12:23.720 ever want to ask I I wanted to ask Justin Trudeau this I wanted to ask Christian Freeland this and I would be

00:12:28.620 more than happy to ask Pierre Polyev this if there's undeniable proof that somebody else will do a better job

00:12:37.560 at leading will you do the right thing and put your country first and let that person do the job better

00:12:46.260 than you that's it that's the only question that applies to being a prime minister that applies to

00:12:51.060 being a party leader and the cold hard facts are that Pierre Polyev as much as you like him probably I like

00:12:58.940 him too shit go through all my thumbnails go through all my videos I love the guy he was awesome

00:13:04.560 but if you want a win I don't think that he's the guy because he's peaked in popularity now once 0.98

00:13:11.120 again Mr. Sunshine Baby is completely wrong here I don't know why he continuously says that Polyev

00:13:16.280 has peaked in popularity that's just his thoughts in the matter and there's insufficient evidence to

00:13:21.320 back that up the fact of the matter is that Mark Carney hasn't been around that long so he hasn't had

00:13:26.360 enough time to make mistakes and make people hate him as much as Trudeau also I don't care about

00:13:31.220 favorability polls those mean nothing to me the only thing I care about is voting intention

00:13:36.000 all we need is one more vote than the liberals and we win that's how elections work I don't care

00:13:42.580 whether people like Polyev or not that's irrelevant all I'm worried about is whether people will vote

00:13:48.020 for him now he does have a bit of a point however I truly don't believe there's anyone that could

00:13:52.260 take Polyev's place if I believe that I would say that to you Polyev is uniquely suited to lead the

00:13:58.160 conservative party and lead Canada there's nobody else that even comes close you look at Aaron O'Toole

00:14:04.280 Andrew Scheer Melissa Lansman sure they may have been good as MPs except for O'Toole however they were

00:14:11.200 in no position to lead the conservative party that position belongs to Polyev and I don't care even if 0.99

00:14:16.620 Polyev sees a slight drop in the polls here and there I'm not going to give up on him I still believe

00:14:21.540 he has a chance and we'll come back to that later in the video and the data shows it David Coletto

00:14:28.760 Abakist Data Pierre Polyev's approval rating is 75 or 71 within the conservative supporters and 62

00:14:36.480 outside of conservatives Abakist Data a conservative firm Carney's approval stays in the positive as 46%

00:14:46.880 while Pierre Polyev's approval has gone down since the release of the budget and there are the numbers

00:14:53.160 right there so we can talk all day long about this being a strategy and whatnot but if this really is

00:15:00.420 strategy which I'm okay even entertaining the idea of because if this gave the liberals a majority

00:15:07.040 that's obviously devastating and I wouldn't want that right but if this really is a strategy

00:15:13.020 then we have to take a little little tidbit from Rosemary Barton or sorry a little tidbit from 1.00

00:15:19.200 Mark Carney who said it to Rosemary Barton look within yourself look within the party and see the

00:15:23.940 root cause of why the conservatives are now going downwards if he has truly peaked which I think he

00:15:33.420 has and if you think otherwise then please substantiate your claim down below in the comments I made an

00:15:39.180 entire video about how I think Pierre Polyev is peaked doesn't mean that he'll fall to the levels

00:15:45.640 of the NDP but I don't think he'll ever gain more popularity than he already has then we have to talk

00:15:52.960 about the real strategy which isn't just delaying an election until spring or three and a half years

00:15:59.400 from now but it's how to actually win and I don't think that's going to happen with Pierre Polyev

00:16:04.460 it's unpopular call this video whatever you want accuse me of clickbait these are unpopular

00:16:10.960 opinions and if I really want to clickbait you would have Pierre Polyev is obliterating Mark Carney

00:16:17.000 and Pierre Polyev is leading in the polls and Pierre Polyev is slaughtering Mark Carney constantly 0.81

00:16:23.420 thanks for watching now instead of leaving a comment like any old fool can do I made a whole

00:16:29.540 video debunking Mr. Sunshine Baby's claims and pointing people in the right direction I'm a credit

00:16:35.260 where credit is due guy and the liberals did a good job last election not to say that they should have

00:16:40.420 won or deserved to win but they did a good job they appointed a new leader someone who was supposedly

00:16:46.420 good at economics and they leveraged the fear and the anger that a lot of Canadians had towards Donald

00:16:52.080 Trump and used it to scare people away from the conservatives and regain votes that they lost

00:16:57.360 because of Justin Trudeau it was a move well played a lot of Canadians whether you agree with it or not

00:17:03.220 did associate Polyev with Trump and on top of that a lot of conservative voters a lot of Polyev's base

00:17:08.780 like Trump so it put Polyev in a really really hard position however like I say in most of my videos

00:17:14.900 there's still a good chance that Polyev will win the next election Mark Carney lied to Canadians he

00:17:20.620 misled Canadians about his ability to deal with Donald Trump sooner or later people are going to

00:17:25.180 wake up and realize that and we don't need everybody to realize that only enough people to win the next

00:17:30.600 election and once we have another election the liberals aren't going to be able to use Trump as

00:17:35.160 the boogeyman that they did this time people have realized that the tariff situation wasn't quite as

00:17:40.200 bad as they thought it was going to be and they've also come to terms with the fact that Donald Trump is

00:17:44.320 not going to annex us I will admit it was unexpected and it sucks that Polyev lost the last election

00:17:50.160 however life happens and we need to stop fighting I don't think we should abandon Polyev just because

00:17:55.620 of that he definitely deserves another chance and I'm willing to give it to him so I'm very

00:18:00.020 disappointed in Mr. Sunshine Baby and I see this as an act of betrayal this guy has a lot more

00:18:05.280 subscribers than I do a way bigger audience and this is what he's doing we need to be united under 0.68

00:18:10.640 pure Polyev you don't need this division right now this guy is a traitor and he should be ashamed

00:18:15.860 of himself I also want to remind you that Mr. Sunshine Baby he admits to being uneducated and before he was

00:18:21.660 doing this he was a transient that was traveling around in his van as such he really doesn't know

00:18:27.120 what he's talking about so if anything I'm glad the traders are showing their true colors as always

00:18:32.480 have a bit of patience have a bit of faith we're gonna win and we're gonna win big talk to you tomorrow
