One of the most annoying things about the legacy media coverage of conservatives potentially crossing the floor
00:00:08.920
and joining the Liberal Party is that not only did every lead fall through,
00:00:14.720
Chris Donjermont crossed the floor, Matt Gennaro announced that he's going to just completely resign from office in spring,
00:00:20.640
and every single other conservative MP suspected came out and said,
00:00:26.700
And then, you remember, there's a bunch of Liberal MPs who are likely to resign from office,
00:00:31.920
and that gets basically no coverage from our Liberal media.
00:00:36.900
There are about four or five Liberal MPs who, mainly because they have personal problems with Prime Minister Mark Carney,
00:00:44.000
are going to probably leave office in the next few months or in the spring of 2026,
00:00:49.820
whether there is an election at that time or not.
00:00:53.500
But let's start off with talking about the most obvious individual who is going to be leaving office,
00:00:59.240
and that being former Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
00:01:08.940
The trustees of the Rhodes Trust have appointed Chrystia Freeland as the next warden of Rhodes House and Chief Executive Officer of the Rhodes Trust.
00:01:22.060
Chrystia will start her role on the 1st of July, 2026,
00:01:25.400
taking over from Professor Sir Rick Traynor, KBE,
00:01:29.100
who has served as interim warden and CEO since the 1st of January, 2025.
00:01:35.740
Absolutely, Freeland is going to be resigning her seat.
1.00
00:01:39.220
This is a role where she literally needs to be in England in order to carry it out.
00:01:43.800
And everyone knows she really doesn't get along with Mark Carney at all,
00:01:48.160
which is quite funny considering I believe one of her children, children's godfather, is Mark Carney.
00:01:55.320
But Freeland's been having a falling out with him ever since he ended up becoming Prime Minister.
00:02:00.540
Because Freeland was actually unfairly thrown under the bus for a lot of the financial problems in the government,
00:02:09.060
She was carrying out the orders of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
00:02:12.400
who was being advised by Mark Carney as his economic advisor.
00:02:17.180
And Freeland then had to take it on the chin when they blew past all of their red lines on the deficit.
00:02:22.860
And then Carney got to walk into office pretending like he's going to be the fiscally responsible one now,
00:02:29.120
even though he was the one telling Trudeau to do all the stupid crap
00:02:32.460
that involved having this massive deficit at the end of the year 2024.
00:02:36.960
He was the brainchild behind the GST-HST tax freeze over the holidays,
00:02:45.740
but also it caused the deficit to go from $40 billion up to $60 billion.
00:02:50.840
Most of that increase in the deficit that year was because of Mark Carney's stupid plan.
00:02:59.080
She resigned from cabinet a few months back after she was given just some paltry position
1.00
00:03:04.060
that really wasn't at her level as a former deputy prime minister and finance minister.
00:03:08.980
And so it is now very clear that she will probably be resigning at some point
00:03:12.440
her seat in University Rosedale to now pursue this job over at the Rhodes Society or whatever.
0.98
00:03:19.840
It's basically when people get like a Rhodes scholarship, this is where it comes from.
00:03:24.820
But now let's talk about some other individuals.
00:03:28.180
The next person I want to discuss is Nate Erskine-Smith.
00:03:32.540
Now, you will remember that name from about a video I made like a week ago.
00:03:38.180
He was talking, he was criticizing Mark Carney's 2025 liberal budget
00:03:43.100
as having basically been a big disappointment compared to how the liberals campaigned in the last election.
00:03:49.920
And he has a very deep problem with Mark Carney ever since he was kicked out of cabinet.
00:03:55.840
You will remember Nate Erskine-Smith was one of the people in the Liberal Party back in 2024
00:04:01.040
who declared that he was not going to be running for re-election in his York riding.
00:04:06.500
And then Mark Carney became prime minister and brought Erskine-Smith back
00:04:11.000
by promising to make him the minister of housing, which technically Mark Carney did make good on.
00:04:17.400
And Erskine-Smith had a wonderful tenure as housing minister for approximately three weeks
00:04:25.820
After the election, not only was Erskine-Smith not the housing minister,
00:04:30.640
but the biggest insult of all, they deemed former Vancouver mayor Gregor Roberts
00:04:35.920
to be a more responsible person for housing than Erskine-Smith.
00:04:40.700
Gregor Roberts, famously the mayor when a lot of housing prices in Vancouver had basically doubled.
00:04:47.520
When he first became mayor and when he left as mayor after his second term,
00:04:51.960
housing prices had effectively doubled in the city in large part because of his own bad policies.
00:05:05.000
that is when the Ontario Liberal Party leadership race had just kicked off.
00:05:11.200
Bonnie Crombie had severely underperformed in her leadership review,
00:05:18.240
Naturally, she could not stay on, so she's resigned.
00:05:21.040
And Erskine-Smith very obviously wants to go and try and win that leadership for himself now.
00:05:27.320
Because really, what's the point of Erskine-Smith sitting in the Liberal Party
00:05:33.140
as a backbench MP with no responsibilities other than some committees to sit on?
00:05:40.080
I do want to show you guys the stats from this last leadership for the Liberals in Ontario
00:05:45.740
to demonstrate that this isn't like some fringe thing that he might try and do.
00:05:50.880
This is a real possibility that Erskine-Smith could become the Ontario Liberal leader.
00:05:55.800
Not only is that party just very, very, you know, dead.
00:06:00.920
It's still a third place party in terms of seats.
00:06:03.420
But he became, he came very close in the 2023 leadership race.
00:06:08.040
He ended up getting 46.59% of the vote when they went through all of the ballot,
00:06:16.080
like, you know, the first, second, third vote, because it is a ranked ballot.
00:06:23.560
And obviously, if he then goes and runs, he's pretty much the golden child
00:06:27.820
who is guaranteed to become leader unless some other, you know,
00:06:31.740
inspiring figure comes out from behind the curtains to challenge Erskine-Smith for it.
00:06:36.600
So he's another person who probably needs to resign sometime this winter break
00:06:41.140
if he wants to actually be able to put together a solid campaign
00:06:43.860
to run for Ontario Liberal leader in early next year,
00:06:47.980
because I believe that their leadership race is going to be wrapping up sometime in mid-2026.
00:06:54.140
We just have three more Liberal MPs I want to talk about potentially resigning.
00:07:01.480
It depends on what happens over the next little bit.
00:07:04.100
We have the former public safety minister, who is somehow still not as bad as Gary Amasangari is right now.
00:07:10.280
We have Bill Blair, who is likely to end up leaving to take some sort of a diplomatic post,
00:07:15.940
whether that's in the United States or another country.
00:07:18.420
We have Ralph Goodale, a longtime Liberal veteran MP who may take over,
00:07:28.760
And then, of course, everyone's least favorite environment minister somehow,
00:07:34.060
despite the fact that Catherine McKenna was also environment minister at one point.
00:07:38.260
Stephen Gilboa, the former environment minister,
00:07:40.760
is also somebody who we are likely to see resign over the next little bit,
00:07:46.160
because he has not really been given the big role he's wanted out of this new government.
00:07:51.220
I think he's like minister of official languages or something like that.
00:07:55.760
But Stephen Gilboa doesn't really have anything else to achieve right now.
00:07:59.740
He's gotten his pension that was granted to him this October.
00:08:04.380
And right now he just basically is just puttering around in a government that is just not green enough for him,
0.92
00:08:16.160
And I would love for a bunch of these Liberal MPs to resign early,
00:08:20.040
because I want to see Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives be able to test their mettle against the Liberals in a by-election,
00:08:26.220
especially seeing where the NDP currently lies.
0.67
00:08:29.620
Because depending on how much of the vote the NDP is going to get in these by-elections,
00:08:33.280
we can kind of determine if the NDP is going to be more punching around 2019 election levels,
00:08:40.060
or they're going to be still stuck at this very low 2025 kind of results,
00:08:48.220
Previously, even with Singh underperforming, they would get 17, 18% of the vote.
00:08:58.280
I think they ended up getting like 22% of the vote or something like that.
00:09:05.780
So in places like University Rosedale, in Stephen Gilboa's Montreal riding,
00:09:11.220
I really want to see where the NDP and the Bloc Québécois is.
00:09:14.840
Obviously, we always want to see the Conservatives doing better.
00:09:17.640
And actually, the best chance the Conservatives have to win another riding
00:09:24.180
which is kind of in a more conservative part of the GTA.
00:09:27.980
Because while he was able to win his seat back in 2025,
00:09:31.100
it is an area of town where there is a lot more growth in conservative voting,
00:09:40.040
like policy issues that Polly runs on in terms of crime,
00:09:43.420
but also just because the Liberal Party, much like the Greens, much like the NDP,
00:09:52.000
And in places like, I believe he's in East York,
00:09:54.960
you end up getting a lot of people in the Jewish community
00:09:58.220
who just can no longer bring themselves to voting for the Liberals
00:10:01.860
who seem to be soft on every single group out there who hates them.
00:10:05.980
Anyways, I actually maybe want to end this video off
00:10:08.160
looking at Erskine-Smith's results in this last election
00:10:12.480
to see how feasible it would be to win this thing.
00:10:20.680
where there's just no chance the Conservatives are going to win.
00:10:23.400
Montreal, literally the Conservatives, are a fourth-place, fifth-place party.
00:10:30.720
the Conservatives would get 4% or 5% of the vote only.
00:10:34.500
In Beaches, East York, Erskine-Smith got 67% of the vote,
00:10:50.380
but it is a place where conceivably the Conservatives could grow.
00:10:53.620
Because, again, this used to be 16%, 14% party.
00:10:58.060
But in the most recent election, the Conservatives are up to 23%.
00:11:14.740
I am wrong to say that they could win the seat.
00:11:16.580
I think I was assuming it was more like Eglinton Lawrence.
00:11:23.420
Sometimes writing names are just annoying to say.
00:11:31.480
where they actually could end up losing a bunch of seats
00:11:34.620
just because of the friction inside the Liberal Party.
00:11:39.900
why is this something that they're not covering?
00:11:45.420
And not all of them are leaving maybe due to age.
00:11:52.240
It's the same excuse that Matt Gennaro had from the Conservatives.
00:12:27.340
Would Erskine-Smith leave if he was housing minister right now?
00:12:30.520
Would Gilboa leave if he was environment minister
00:12:49.500
as someone like Stephen Gilboa would have wanted them to do.
00:12:52.660
They just passed a budget with the help of Elizabeth May
00:12:58.040
But again, Gilboa wants them moving at 100 miles an hour,
00:13:02.000
and right now Carney's moving at, like, 30 miles an hour.
00:13:11.600
They're still doubling the industrial carbon tax.
00:13:13.920
They're still passing their clean fuel standards
00:13:26.860
because that guy's an actual, like, left-wing radical
