In this episode, I discuss the growing problem of Conservative MPs crossing the floor to the Liberals, and how it's the fault of the Conservative Party of Canada, not the Liberal Party. I also talk about how the party has been infiltrated by "frauds" inside the party, and why the problem is worse than ever.

00:00:00.000 Conservative Member of Parliament Matt Jenneru just crossed the floor to the Liberals.
00:00:05.200 This is the third Conservative that has done this in the past four months alone.
00:00:10.720 So, what is going on in the Conservative Party?
00:00:13.920 Well, let me explain to you the two types of Members of Parliament that are inside the Conservative Party.
00:00:20.320 There's type one, the frauds.
00:00:22.880 They can be Liberals wearing a blue tie, or someone who doesn't believe in anything.
00:00:27.700 So a big bribe to cross the floor sounds great.
00:00:33.100 A big bribe meaning a bigger salary, a minister position, actual power, and decision making.
00:00:40.640 And maybe they're taking orders from a foreign entity because they weren't even born in this country. 0.64
00:00:47.460 So whatever it is, they're a complete fraud.
00:00:50.860 Then there's type two.
00:00:51.720 someone who has genuine conservative principles, beliefs, and values, and they really care about
00:00:57.700 the people who got them elected. And I am so sorry to say this, but they are infiltrated
00:01:04.340 with type one. Type two is excruciatingly rare to find. And in the last election,
00:01:10.840 the party actually blocked actual conservatives from being candidates. They refused
00:01:16.820 the grassroots to elect who they wanted, and instead headquarters in Ottawa appointed well
00:01:24.340 over 100 candidates. So we ended up with Michael Ma. And why do you think they appointed that
00:01:30.760 many people? 100 is a lot. Because they're easy to manipulate. And if the Conservative Party can
00:01:37.020 manipulate them, the Liberal Party can manipulate them just as well and better. Then there was
00:01:43.600 also some fair nomination races, where demographically replaced areas saw ethnic
00:01:50.580 blocks of non-citizens voting for the candidate, even though they can't vote for the candidate
00:01:55.500 during the election. And when the Conservative Party of Canada convention just happened in
00:02:00.740 Calgary, they of course voted to keep the powers of headquarters and still allow non-citizens to 1.00
00:02:06.420 vote in nomination races. And what makes this entire situation worse is the fact that the
00:02:13.440 incumbents before the 2025 election were mostly ideologically liberal, just like Matt Gennarou
00:02:20.460 or Chris D'Entremont. So ultimately, the 2025 election just made the infiltration issue
00:02:27.680 a whole lot worse. The conservatives are now breeding floor crossers. And this is on them. 1.00
00:02:36.660 There's nobody else to blame. At the end of the day, the only people who suffer are the voters,
00:02:42.560 the constituents, the volunteers, the canvassers, the people on the EDA boards, all those people
00:02:48.560 who spent their time, energy, and money to help the candidate get elected are now betrayed and
00:02:54.180 hurting. So once again, this is Polyev's fault. There's no other way around it. The guy has one 0.58
00:03:00.780 job and it's being a leader, yet somehow he's failing at that. If you do not think it's its
00:03:07.000 fault, you're in a cult where you have this ride or die mentality with the leader. You must defend
00:03:13.420 him and the party no matter what all the time. And if you actually start to notice that the party
00:03:21.640 is fundamentally an incompetent left-wing clown show, you tend to say, well, we got to support 0.97
00:03:29.320 them because it's the lesser of two evils or anything to get the liberals out. The copium is 0.99
00:03:35.420 insane. And by using common sense, you will quickly figure out that the mismanagement of
00:03:41.760 the Conservative Party has not only allowed the Liberals to stay in power for over a decade,
00:03:46.820 but now the problem is so severe that they're handing their own MPs to the Liberals. So the
00:03:53.660 Liberals can go from a minority to a majority government without an election. Like I swear,
00:03:59.260 The conservatives have some sort of self-humiliation fetish.
00:04:03.820 It's unbearable.
00:04:04.980 And also notice how conservatives get ridiculously emotional over these floor crossings, but
00:04:11.580 they never blame the leader or the party.
00:04:14.340 They never take accountability.
00:04:16.040 Pierre Polyev is mysteriously never at fault.
00:04:19.700 And they say the MPs acted alone.
00:04:22.880 So you're telling me they quit their job because they hated their boss?
00:04:26.480 yeah that's a leadership issue like you can't argue with a cult and where did this weird cult
00:04:33.900 mentality even come from well it's due to modern canadian politics functioning like a party brand
00:04:41.720 system because our westminster model gives parties a lot of power and the conservative party has
00:04:48.740 taken it way too far they have abused it they managed to turn the system against the very
00:04:54.860 democracy it is meant to serve. The Westminster model was never designed for members of parliaments
00:05:01.280 to be chained to a party headquarters on Slater Street, downtown Ottawa. It was designed for
00:05:08.240 independent representatives exercising judgment. And of course, when people take their ballot,
00:05:15.800 they can vote for a number of different things. They can vote for the person on the ballot,
00:05:21.520 they can vote for the party brand, or they can vote for both. But when party leadership
00:05:27.460 centralizes nominations, rewards loyalty over principle, and hollows out ideological clarity,
00:05:34.880 it produces NPC politicians who will only care about you once their paycheck is in danger.
00:05:41.980 So yes, when they cross the floor, they're technically exercising independent judgment.
00:05:47.420 But if those members of parliament never had convictions to begin with, it's not a principled
00:05:54.760 decision. It is a decision based on opportunity because they are opportunist. Also, this has led
00:06:01.320 to eroding the trust in our parliamentary system. This tarnished the credibility of our Westminster
00:06:09.400 model. So because the party's base is such a cult mentality, they are unable to call out the rot.
00:06:17.420 And even worse, they outright deny it.
00:06:20.200 So the party never fixes it.
00:06:22.260 And then they keep losing and losing and losing.
00:06:24.820 It's a vicious circle.
00:06:26.160 The conservative party base is full of good people who truly believe in what they stand for and they're loyal, which is great.
00:06:34.640 However, loyalty only works with accountability because without that, it starts to look like blind devotion or, in other words, a cult.
00:06:44.160 So, if the grassroots do not demand better leadership, nothing will change, especially if the rot benefits high-up party insiders.
00:06:53.960 And this all only ends in one way, and one way only.
00:06:58.600 The liberals stay in power.
00:07:01.000 Now, don't get me wrong, this cultish mentality with Canadian political parties applies to the liberals, the NDP, the PPC.
00:07:10.280 however with the conservatives it's especially really bad and mark carney is simply smart enough
00:07:17.780 to take advantage of polyev's horrible caucus choice and terrible leadership to get his majority
00:07:23.940 government in order to streamline the destruction of our nation and i really hate carney more than
00:07:30.980 the average person in fact he is literally ethnically cleansing us real old stock canadians 0.99
00:07:36.840 making us the minority. I can't afford a future. I can't afford a house to raise a family in.
00:07:43.160 And all of this is precisely why conserving and reforming is now harmful. Our only option
00:07:50.880 is to restore Canada.
