The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - A Terrible week for Justin Trudeau's Liberals!

00:00:00.000 Hello everyone, welcome back to the Wyatt Claypool show where we try and laugh through the disastrous

00:00:05.740 Justin Trudeau years of Canadian politics and hopefully come out on the other side

00:00:10.700 with a better government eventually. But for now we can just point and laugh because Justin Trudeau

00:00:16.500 is an absolute clown of a prime minister. And so this clip just surfaced from yesterday

00:00:22.220 of Justin Trudeau at a press conference where he had another one of his standard meltdowns

00:00:27.440 when the topic of climate change was brought up because he feels like if he can instill

00:00:31.920 enough moral panic in this issue that maybe he can drag himself up higher in the polls.

00:00:37.460 It's not going to happen. And this current sort of spate of wildfires we have in Alberta and

00:00:42.780 other parts of the country, they're already dying off. We have a very rainy season right now.

00:00:47.520 And when you actually looked at the maps being put out from the government of Alberta, there

00:00:52.040 was like one, two fires that weren't in control. The vast majority of them were in control or

00:00:57.060 being monitored because they weren't really a big enough thing. It's quite sick to me that

00:01:01.500 there's so many on the political left these days who are actively cheering on wildfires

00:01:06.980 to ruin people's homes so that they can campaign on it. I thought we all wanted less disasters,

00:01:12.680 but the climate change crowd, the people who make everything, like they turn every single

00:01:17.500 issue into climate change. These people like the destruction because then they can do what

00:01:22.300 they like in government on the justification that if you don't go along with them, then you want

00:01:26.800 more wildfires when they're the ones who want more wildfires. And that's why they keep wanting

00:01:32.400 to play up every single fire as the worst thing that's ever happened to us. So here's Justin

00:01:37.120 Trudeau at this press conference going off.

00:01:39.180 When he talks about axing the tax, he talks about stopping the fight against climate change

00:01:45.040 at a time where the country is burning, at a time where floods and storms are having an impact

00:01:51.020 on every corner of the country. And at a time when Canadians are struggling with the cost of living,

00:01:56.700 he wants to take away checks to put more money in their pockets.

00:02:01.500 His ideology is so strong, he would rather watch the country burn and Canadians suffer than continue

00:02:09.180 to fight against climate change and put the Canada carbon rebate in their pockets.

00:02:13.340 Completely ridiculous. Justin Trudeau is the one wanting the country to burn. And I like how he still can't

00:02:18.620 choose whether or not he's marketing the carbon tax on, we will save the planet with this, or this is

00:02:24.380 putting more money in your pocket. It's not doing either, but you can't hold both of those positions

00:02:29.260 at the same time. Either it's punishing people for using energy and causing them to use it less,

00:02:34.220 which is not happening because energy is an inelastic good. It doesn't matter how high of a tax you put

00:02:39.100 on it, people will forego other goods before they cut energy. Can't really cut energy in a Canadian winter.

00:02:45.420 But then the other thing is it's putting more money back in your pocket. So how is anyone being

00:02:49.820 disensitivized from using energy and causing emissions if they are literally, supposedly,

00:02:55.180 being paid back more than they are actually paying in the carbon tax? It doesn't make sense because

00:03:01.020 it's not meant to make sense, it's meant to just win him votes. And I was going to mention another

00:03:06.540 thing here that was kind of odd about, oh yeah, like the whole thing about he wants the country to burn,

00:03:11.740 like, I think he should be the one who realizes rhetoric like that does not attract people at

00:03:17.100 all. It just makes him seem very angry and desperate. And the amount of people when you

00:03:21.660 look at the polling who actually are voting based on climate change is like 4%, 5% of voters. Sometimes

00:03:28.140 in the nanos polls, it gets as high as 12%. But factor in the fact that the you that the Green Party

00:03:33.660 has 100% of their vote coming from the climate change concern crowd. And then you consider that

00:03:39.260 there's probably only about 7% left in some of the highest polls for the NDP and the Liberals to

00:03:44.620 divide. This is a really weak issue for them to be going after because they already own this issue.

00:03:50.780 The Conservatives aren't talking about it because they have nobody to win on the issue. Not that it's

00:03:55.180 that the Conservatives would be implementing a carbon tax if they could get votes. I don't think they

00:03:59.260 would be doing that. Aaron O'Toole was enough of a fool, rhyming, that he was willing to try and win

00:04:04.860 voters by saying I have my own carbon plan. But none of those voters are willing to be swayed.

00:04:09.340 And the plans don't work in the first place in terms of reducing emissions. And another thing

00:04:13.660 that people never bring up, this is the thing I was trying to remember, is that has anyone ever

00:04:17.260 noticed that we never hear about the crazy wildfire seasons in China or India? These are countries

00:04:22.860 that don't exactly not have forests. We don't hear about the crazy wildfires in Brazil. We don't hear

00:04:28.140 about the crazy wildfires in other heavily forested countries. It's mostly only in Canada. It's not

00:04:33.500 because anyone's up to anything. But you have to remember, China has, when you actually look at the 0.97

00:04:37.980 concentrated, dense carbon emissions from their major manufacturing centers, based on the theory

00:04:45.580 about how climate works from the left in Canada, they should be having constant wildfires. There

00:04:51.260 should be such a dry environment around there. There should be just conditions making it so that

00:04:56.220 fires are popping up everywhere. And it's not. And it's because in Canada, we have a lot of people who

00:05:01.420 go camping. We have a lot of, we have a lot in the lumber industry. We have a lot of interactions

00:05:08.220 with the forest areas of the country. And because of human error, we end up causing a lot more fires.

00:05:13.820 It has purely to do with better forest management in order to cut down on wildfires. We, for some

00:05:19.020 reason, or at least the green left considers forest management to be anti-environmental. The idea that

00:05:24.540 we every once in a while need to cut channels out of the forest to have fire breaks so that if human error

00:05:29.820 causes a fire, it's not going to go out of the couple square kilometers that it's in,

00:05:33.740 and we can contain it. That's the thing that happens in other countries, that they don't

00:05:38.380 have as many, they don't have a big camping culture, they don't have a big forestry industry,

00:05:41.980 so they don't interact with the forest a lot so fires don't start. The more interaction with our

00:05:46.780 forested areas when it's dry outside will cause a lot more fires. Even last year when people are

00:05:51.900 freaking out about the fires, it wasn't actually that bad a fire season. We had some moderate fire

00:05:56.540 seasons in four or five provinces, which is a lot, but it's just a normal year. We usually have

00:06:01.260 one or two provinces that have big fire seasons, and those fire seasons are usually worse than last

00:06:06.140 year. We just happened to roll the dice and had a bunch of fire seasons in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan,

00:06:10.860 Alberta, BC, and the rest of the country. Anyways, well, I want to move on to another issue that is not

00:06:17.340 great for the Liberals. They've truly not been having a good week at all, and I want to talk about

00:06:23.100 immigration and our current immigration minister, Mark Miller. This man is, this man must have,

00:06:30.700 I don't want to say it that way, this man really loves putting his own foot in his mouth. This guy,

00:06:36.380 for some reason, cannot stop himself from being his own worst enemy on this immigration file.

00:06:41.900 The last week, he said, well, how are we going to deal with the excess amount of temporary foreign 0.99

00:06:47.740 workers and students in this country? And by the way, in 2024, despite the fact that he said he was

00:06:52.940 going to put a cap on things, we have more temporary foreign workers and students up to this point of

00:06:57.340 the year than we did in 23. So the cap was purely fake. The cap is so high, we would have to literally

00:07:03.820 double our intake before we'd even reach it. I don't think it's that high, but my point is that

00:07:08.300 there's really nothing enforceable about the cap that the Liberals have put in place. They're not

00:07:12.620 going to reject anybody. They haven't yet. And Mark Miller said, well, if you don't like so many

00:07:17.100 temporary foreign workers and students, maybe we should just make them permanent residents and 0.99

00:07:21.500 citizens. Like, oh goodness, Mark, I want you guys in the Liberals to lose, but not this way,

00:07:28.460 not this way, Mark. I want to beat you guys in a straight up fight, not with you literally

00:07:32.540 burning down your own house here. It was such an absurd take because remember, when you look at the

00:07:37.820 polling, citizens in Canada, 68% of them think immigration is too high. And remember, in all those

00:07:43.580 statistics, there's a certain portion of people who like to pretend to be agnostic. Oh, I don't know if

00:07:48.380 it's too much, even though they probably do believe it's too much. But even new Canadians,

00:07:52.060 people who are permanent residents or those who are born outside of the country,

00:07:56.300 they 65% of them or 63% think we bring in too much immigration. That is a consensus issue when you have

00:08:04.140 both foreign born as well as domestically born Canadians saying, yes, it's too much.

00:08:09.340 Like, I go door knocking a lot in my area of Calgary Signal Hill, since shameless plug,

00:08:14.780 I'm Wyatt Claypool, and I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.

00:08:18.780 And I talked to like non permanent residents and very new Canadians all the time. And they're the

00:08:24.700 ones who most aggressively will tell you immigration is too high. I live in a part of the city with a

00:08:29.260 little bit of a higher net worth. So a lot of these new immigrants have a lot of like skills in oil and

00:08:33.580 gas and tech, they were big assets to the country to bring in. And they get annoyed with all the

00:08:39.340 people coming in who are exploiting these temporary foreign worker or permanent resident job programs,

00:08:45.580 where they are put front of the line for several jobs, and then are basically artificially propped

00:08:50.380 up. They hate that because they got in the country with a really good set of skills, they had the assets

00:08:54.860 to live here, and they were contributing, they find it annoying that people are coming in with their

00:08:59.020 entire families. And they work like a part time job at like a fast food restaurant like that's not

00:09:04.300 worth bringing people into the country for, especially when it's just driving wages down. 0.98

00:09:08.380 PEI is doing the right thing on this issue by saying we're no longer going to have temporary

00:09:12.700 foreign worker and permanent resident incentives for companies to hire them over citizens. It should 0.97

00:09:18.220 just be pure meritocracy that determines who's going to get a job. But here is Mark Miller on I believe

00:09:24.380 CTV News trying to now walk back his really ridiculous statements about trying to make

00:09:28.940 all temporary foreign workers permanent residents. The proper education. Lastly, I just wanted to ask

00:09:33.900 you, you kind of come under fire for things that were said about how international students get

00:09:38.220 criminal record checks in their in their home countries. Are they getting criminal record

00:09:41.740 checks in their home countries? Yeah, look, excellent question. I think the source of that criticism

00:09:48.140 is from someone who is also wanting to ban Tim Hortons. And to be fair, I think this might not be the

00:09:53.660 clip or he made the point about the temporary foreign workers thing, but it's still a good point. 0.99

00:09:57.020 Yeah, and is against plastic cardboard lids on cups. Even I'll take that for what it's what it's

00:10:04.540 worth. The reality is that on every student that comes through the student streams other than the US,

00:10:09.900 we do biometrics, those biometrics go through a database. And we check now we do take a risk profile

00:10:16.780 of the people that we ask or that come to this country like any temporary resident, whether it's through

00:10:21.820 the student stream or not. I think we do have to also disabuse ourselves of the notion that Canada

00:10:29.100 is totally impermeable, or that necessarily criminality occurs in the source country or when

00:10:33.980 they get here. So, you know, sorry about that, guys, I read the post wrong, but that is still

00:10:38.380 an egregious clip. But in another post, he's been walking back his statement saying we need to turn

00:10:43.740 people into permanent residents. We don't like too many foreign workers. But yeah, that's another thing. 1.00

00:10:48.140 We do not do any sort of criminal background checks on new permanent residents and temporary

00:10:53.340 foreign workers and students. The guys who whacked Najjar out in British Columbia, that 1.00

00:10:57.980 Calistani activist, they were brought in on student visas, had overstayed them, were criminals. And even 0.92

00:11:04.540 one of the guys who was involved in the shooting of Najjar literally was released from prison a few days

00:11:09.740 before the shooting because we don't hold criminals accountable for their actions anymore. And we just

00:11:14.460 kind of give them a slap on the wrist and tell them to maybe show up for court for their charges

00:11:18.300 in three years. And they're never going to do that because there's no incentive to do that,

00:11:21.740 because we're never going to come after them. It's such a weird country right now. Yeah,

00:11:26.620 Mark Miller is utterly incompetent. And it's great to see that there's a lot of people now coming out

00:11:31.340 in favor of reducing immigration, not just silently talking about behind the scenes,

00:11:35.740 but they're actually running on that. And the Conservative Party should become more aggressive

00:11:39.820 on running on that. I know Polly has said that we need to reduce immigration to lower housing prices,

00:11:45.020 which is indicative of the idea that we're going to have to like maybe half or even more than half

00:11:50.220 our current immigration rate. But it would be good for us to come up with a specific number. I don't

00:11:54.460 begrudge anyone from not doing it yet. We're still quite a ways out from the next election. Anyways,

00:12:00.220 I want to move on to this post that Justin Trudeau put up today that I don't know why they think

00:12:07.100 this is a good play. But this actually came out of the of the Liberal Party's comms department on

00:12:13.340 Twitter, going after the Conservatives for supposedly not being pro 2SLGBTQI+. Nobody is 0.92

00:12:23.020 coming out and voting for the Liberals based on this. And the problem is they're still competing

00:12:26.620 with the Bloc, the NDP and the Greens who have the exact same messaging. Most Canadians want done with

00:12:32.540 gender theory. They don't want gender theory being taught in the classroom. They want the government to 1.00

00:12:36.780 stop pushing woke ideas. And the idea that you're going to use gay people as a Trojan horse to then

00:12:43.340 push Marxist wokeism is foolish and it's insulting. There's a reason why there's an entire movement

00:12:49.820 of gay Canadians and as well as gay Americans down the US who are pushing back against the idea that

00:12:54.780 their community is going to be used as a front for cultural Marxism. They want to be left alone.

00:12:59.980 There's a lot of gay conservatives out there who are hate the idea that the Liberals are basically

00:13:05.180 using them as a platform to try and run on when they haven't done, they've hurt them as much

00:13:10.300 as they've hurt any other Canadian with their terrible policies.

00:13:12.700 Agree? Like, I don't know what the Liberals can have wrong with this. And then they're like,

00:13:33.020 oh, we took a photo with a guy with a straight pride shirt. Know what? Who really cares? And you can tell

00:13:39.260 that the Liberals probably care about this issue a little too much. And when I say that, I mean that

00:13:44.140 they are really overextending themselves on this kind of LGBTQ type rhetoric about how they're the

00:13:50.620 only party of tolerance. And if you vote for the conservatives, they're going to, you know,

00:13:54.380 attack gay people or whatever. Ridiculous, stupid. They have nothing. It's like the abortion issue. 1.00

00:13:59.740 If anything, them bringing up abortion is just going to make Canadians far more pro-life because the more

00:14:04.700 the Liberals make their brand the brand of wokeism, the more Canadians are going to hate it. Even if

00:14:09.340 they maybe don't disagree with it on the surface, although they should. Trudeau is such an unpopular

00:14:14.860 politician. If he's in favor of something, at least half the country is now going to be against it.

00:14:20.060 And that's just the symptom of being a terrible leader. But Justin Trudeau then posted this today,

00:14:24.940 which was extremely hypocritical. And it says,

00:14:28.620 if someone says that the fight for 2SLGBTQI plus equality is over, just think how often a queer 1.00

00:14:35.340 student is bullied or a trans person is attacked. Honestly, not that often. It's an incredibly

00:14:40.220 overblown issue. It's not overblown because I don't care if someone gets attacked. If someone gets

00:14:44.540 attacked, that's sick and wrong, obviously. But the idea that this is an epidemic is insane. But I'm

00:14:50.700 going to get to in a second an actual epidemic that he is ignoring. But he ends this post off by saying,

00:14:57.420 we've come a long way, but we have to we have worked to to make a safer, more inclusive place.

00:15:03.420 Well, do you know what Justin Trudeau and Liberal Party officials and MPs didn't do this week?

00:15:09.100 They didn't stand up for a Jewish boy in Toronto who had rocks thrown at him for being Jewish by

00:15:16.060 other students trying to like, I don't know, blame him for fake crimes of Israel. And the only MP

00:15:23.100 who showed up for this, I believe there were some conservative party officials there though,

00:15:27.260 was independent MP Kevin Vaughn. He used to be a Liberal and he was kicked out of the party based

00:15:32.940 on a fake smear that the Liberals basically went along with because they didn't like the fact that

00:15:37.100 Kevin Vaughn became a candidate for them and was an anti-communist. And so they kicked him out of

00:15:41.660 caucus. But since then, Kevin has actually been one of the more outspoken and more conservative MPs in

00:15:47.100 parliament. Very good MP. And he actually showed up for this Jewish boy and walked him to school

00:15:53.020 at the same time that the Liberals are saying that they're so they're so in favor of protecting trans

00:15:59.740 and gay kids from being bullied. They don't show up for the Jewish kid who got bullied because they

00:16:04.460 know their base doesn't care. So they're not going to care. But here it's Kevin Vaughn at this event

00:16:09.980 where he was talking about the lack of support from Liberal Party officials for this little boy.

00:16:15.900 Allies are here too. And I am here to stand with the family. And I'm sorry that your MP isn't here.

00:16:28.860 But I am here because I want your community to know that there are allies who stand with you. There

00:16:35.020 are Toronto MPs who do stand with you. And while yours may not, I do.

00:16:44.940 Yeah, obviously, there's not a problem with no conservative MPs being there because there's

00:16:48.700 no Toronto conservative MPs. So he was the only one who actually showed up for this bully child. And

00:16:54.860 that the local MP in that area is Yara Sachs, the Jewish lady who went and shook hands with Mahmoud

00:17:01.420 Abbas over in the West Bank, a man who literally pays the family of terrorists who get arrested for

00:17:08.140 stabbing or killing Israelis, or even gives their family basically a pension if they kill enough 1.00

00:17:13.580 Jewish people. That's someone that Yara Sachs went to go and talk to. And she's also the lady who in

00:17:19.660 Parliament during the Freedom Convoy stood up and said, well, all these Freedom Convoy supporters are a

00:17:25.900 bunch of racist Nazis. And whenever they honk their horns, Hong Kong, it stands for a Heil Hitler. 0.63

00:17:32.300 She is absolutely the symbol of liberal hypocrisy in that government. She will throw her own community 1.00

00:17:39.420 under the bus and not stand up for a little boy who's being stoned at school because our base doesn't

00:17:46.140 like that. Our base is rabidly anti-Israel. So we're not going to show up because that might hurt us

00:17:51.340 with certain groups that we're trying to win over. Utterly pathetic, utterly without principle, but

00:17:57.020 the Liberal Party is going to stand up for LGBTQ kids. They're creating a fake problem, a problem 1.00

00:18:04.140 that is not an epidemic, in order to pretend that they're the party of tolerance and inclusion when

00:18:09.020 in fact they don't actually care about including anyone. I'm not sure if you guys saw that one video

00:18:14.060 as well of that Jewish girl in New Brunswick who got attacked by students for being Jewish. Literally,

00:18:20.380 there's a video of her being tackled in the parking lot because she was, I guess, Jewish and didn't

00:18:26.220 hate Israel. It's disgusting that this stuff goes on. And again, the Premier of New Brunswick,

00:18:32.780 Blaine Higgs, stood up for her. But what did the Liberals, what did any local NDP Green politicians say?

00:18:41.100 Nothing. They don't care because it's not worth getting votes to stand up for Jewish people. And that's 1.00

00:18:46.860 where I find all these people are utterly contemptible and they need to be removed from office.

00:18:51.340 And it's not because that if you don't stand up for Israel, I hate you or something like that. I'm

00:18:56.220 pro-Israel. You don't have to be. I know a lot of people just don't care about foreign policy. So

00:19:00.220 any country outside of Canada becomes a little bit of a, eh, don't really want to get involved.

00:19:05.020 I understand that. I don't always agree with that approach. Like, people are like, well, why are you

00:19:09.580 obsessed with Israel? I'm not. I also like the country of Georgia. Sometimes I wear a

00:19:13.420 Georgian lapel pin. I even wear a South Vietnam lapel pin. A Taiwanese lapel pin. Canadian pins,

00:19:19.100 obviously. I just like Western allies around the world because I would like the rest of the world

00:19:24.940 to be a little bit more like Canada rather than the rest of the world trying to influence Canada

00:19:29.660 and turn us into a country where we want, I don't know, ethnic sectarian divisions and fighting and 0.81

00:19:36.060 whatnot and non-Canadian values. I want to stand up for Canadian values and I stand for countries who

00:19:42.540 support values that are similar to Canada's. That's why Taiwan's great. That's why I stood up

00:19:47.180 for Hong Kong freedom fighters. I would trade every woke leftist, every white woke leftist, 0.52

00:19:53.340 for Hong Kong pro-democracy individuals, for Nigerian Christians because they actually believe

00:19:59.100 in Canadian values despite the fact that they don't live here. They actually care about family.

00:20:03.420 They actually don't want massive big government programs running their lives. They actually like

00:20:08.940 freedom. I am pro-freedom and I think that freedom is the brand of Canada and although that Justin

00:20:14.060 Trudeau is trying to destroy that brand, it's a good thing to fight for and restore it and then

00:20:18.940 defend it. But wow, isn't it such a great, isn't everything in Canada so great right now?

00:20:26.700 Kidding. I just want to go to quickly check on the polls. I saw a great poll that just came out

00:20:31.660 specifically about British Columbia. This isn't the British Columbia provincial poll,

00:20:36.940 it's the federal poll. And I just wanted to highlight how good the federal conservatives

00:20:40.940 are currently doing in British Columbia because I believe that this is going to be a springboard

00:20:45.100 for the provincial liberals to do even better than they currently are doing the polls.

00:20:48.940 You saw that last one. I'll maybe bring it up on screen here quickly. You saw that one I made

00:20:53.420 a video about yesterday where, yeah, right here, the conservatives are actually one percent ahead

00:20:58.860 of the NDP, this palace poll. I said it was a Polera poll yesterday. My mistake. Polera actually is

00:21:05.580 another polling firm. They have very similar names when I just kind of glance my eyes across the

00:21:09.340 screen. But yeah, so the conservatives in BC are currently one percent ahead of the NDP. They're

00:21:16.460 still not doing as well in Vancouver Island and greater Vancouver. So they do need to pick up some

00:21:24.620 steam there if they want to be able to win the most seats because right now they're overperforming

00:21:28.540 in sort of the rural areas that they already have on lock. So now they have to start shifting

00:21:32.300 that support towards the Vancouver donut as well as in the more rural areas of Vancouver Island,

00:21:38.220 which is the NDP and Green Party stronghold. Oh, goodness. I'm just like falling all over myself

00:21:44.460 right here. But here is the poll of the federal conservatives performance in British Columbia

00:21:49.900 right now. They're at 44 percent. NDP is at 26, mostly just off of the strength of the provincial NDP.

00:21:56.860 Liberals are at 18 and Greens at eight. And I think this is actually quite well

00:22:03.420 tracks to the provincial polling because you'll notice that the BC United are at 13 percent and

00:22:07.900 that's pretty close to what the federal liberals are at 18. And then though the NDP, of course,

00:22:13.980 is doing better because it is the party for a lot of federal liberals because they know that the

00:22:18.860 provincial liberal party, also known as BC United now, can't win. But this is why BC United is actually

00:22:25.180 very useful to stay in this race. A lot of people get vote split crazy. They think that only conservative

00:22:32.060 votes ever split. For some reason, left votes are completely rock solid and the people who vote for

00:22:37.420 the party on the left want that party. It's the same thing on the right. People vote for the party they

00:22:42.300 want. The BC conservatives are a far superior party to the United. And so they shouldn't fear the BC

00:22:48.380 United stealing any votes from them because the BC United are not doing any better on conservative

00:22:53.260 issues than the BC conservatives are. So they're not going to pull away any voters because they happen

00:22:57.500 to have better stances on certain issues. Not going to happen. The BC conservatives are going to start

00:23:02.780 slowly funnel all the federal votes into their party. The BC United are actually very key to keep around

00:23:09.260 because they're kind of like the RFK Jr. of this provincial race. Like, you know, take the metaphor

00:23:16.380 analogy for a second. But when RFK Jr. first announced that he was going to run as an independent

00:23:21.660 candidate for president, he was expected to do more damage to Donald Trump because Donald Trump,

00:23:27.660 as the more eccentric and conservative politician, seemed to track decently close to RFK Jr.'s crowd

00:23:33.900 because although RFK Jr. is a lifelong Democrat, he's a little bit more eccentric. He was against

00:23:38.620 lockdowns and COVID mandates and that sort of stuff. And then he sort of seemed to stand up to the woke

00:23:44.460 establishment. But as time went on, it was obvious that Trump was probably going to take all of the

00:23:49.980 Republican or Republican leaning independent votes away from RFK's camp. And then what that left

00:23:56.300 was just RFK Jr. stealing Democrats too nervous to vote for Joe Biden. And so now if I go back to

00:24:02.300 provincial politics in British Columbia, the United used to be a bigger suck on the British Columbia

00:24:09.020 conservatives because BC voters didn't know who was more likely to be the main opposition to the NDP.

00:24:14.140 Is it the United? Is it the conservatives? But as the conservatives have consolidated,

00:24:18.380 there's really no excuse left to sit around the United as a federal conservative. I don't think

00:24:23.260 the United are going to win more than 5% of federal conservative votes. And so all of that has already

00:24:28.620 been mostly divested towards the BC conservatives. I think they still have maybe two or three points

00:24:34.060 left in at least this poll that they could steal away from the BC United. And then the rest of that

00:24:38.620 poll that the rest of the BC United support, at least from my view, is people too nervous to vote for the

00:24:45.660 NDP and people who, because they don't live on Vancouver Island, they can't really vote for the

00:24:50.300 Greens because the Greens don't have presence in Vancouver Metro. So this is actually a great thing

00:24:56.300 for the conservatives that John Rustad had rejected the offers to merge from the BC United or start a

00:25:02.300 new party with Brad West, the mayor of Port Coquitlam is the leader. That was not going to help out the

00:25:07.900 conservative brand. If anything, it's great that John Rustad, and this is probably going to gain him more

00:25:12.780 support that he rejected the merger because he proved he is a nerve. I hate it whenever there's

00:25:18.860 some idea that comes along that if we merge, we have a better chance of winning. No, we do not,

00:25:24.300 because you've just demonstrated that you're weak. You demonstrated that you don't believe in the brand

00:25:28.300 and so that you had to join with another party. Mark my words, if the PC party and the Wild Rose

00:25:34.140 never merged in Alberta, the Wild Rose would currently hold government. It would be no question that the

00:25:39.340 Wild Rose would have consolidated all of the PC support that wouldn't have gone to the NDP and

00:25:44.300 would have won the next provincial election. And if anything, the merger has actually hurt the

00:25:47.980 party in the long run because he brought back in all the progressive conservative party consultants

00:25:52.300 into the UCP. We've had to have like, there's been continuing battles with them since the parties

00:25:57.580 merged back in, I believe early 2019 or 2018, end of 2018. So yeah, that would, that's what would

00:26:04.700 happen in British Columbia if United and the conservatives merged, even if they merged into

00:26:09.660 the conservatives and they kept the conservative name, you're going to have all the useless people

00:26:13.340 from the United who drove the liberal party slash United into the ground, then joining your party.

00:26:19.020 And you think it's going to be successful. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing

00:26:23.420 over and over again, hoping for different results and trying to tie your wagon to Kevin Falcon is a very

00:26:30.220 silly move. And it's good that John Rustad just unequivocally said, no, you guys made,

00:26:36.380 you guys mocked us for wanting to maybe talk about mergers five months ago when we were tied.

00:26:41.100 And now that you're down in the dumps, you're looking to merge not going to happen. The conservatives

00:26:45.340 have the right platform to win British Columbia. They just need to market it harder. They need more

00:26:49.660 door knocking. They need advertising. So if you live in BC, make sure you go donate to them. They need

00:26:54.540 the money. Anyways, well, that's kind of me wrapping up the show here. If you have any

00:27:00.780 other topics you want me to talk about in the next episode, just leave them in the comment section

00:27:05.100 below. Make sure to like this video, subscribe, share, and you can join the TNT Telegram channel

00:27:11.580 in the description of this video below. I forgot to add in the link last episode. So if you click on

00:27:16.300 that in the description, you'll see all of our videos and all of our content come by, you know,

00:27:20.700 kind of chronologically to you rather than having to rely on social media algorithms to show us or

00:27:26.460 to show you our content. And then on top of that, remember, we have our legal fund linked in the

00:27:31.980 description of this video below. If you want to contribute to the legal fund, make sure you go

00:27:36.940 over there and you give us any amount of money that you're able to afford. We have this ongoing

00:27:41.500 lawsuit that's cost us more than $29,000 fighting against a billionaire developer suing us for

00:27:47.500 defamation for noting his donations to Aaron O'Toole's leadership campaign. And after two and

00:27:53.420 a half years, he still hasn't found a single thing that we've said that he can actually prove with

00:27:58.140 evidence was defamatory. Literally everything we said about this guy, and he was not even the main

00:28:02.540 subject of the article, was just from a Globe and Mail investigation of him by Robert Fyfe and Stephen

00:28:07.660 Chase, seasoned investigative reporters, which he never evidently sued them. And by law, I don't think

00:28:14.060 you can even sue someone for defamation when they just repeated something that someone a long time

00:28:18.780 ago had also said who you never had issue with at the time. That's just not how this works. And so

00:28:24.300 we're probably going to win this case, but donating anything to us really helps us get through it.

00:28:28.780 And then, as I said before, I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary Signal Hill

00:28:33.740 Conservative Party nomination. So if you're a federal Conservative Party member in this riding,

00:28:38.860 the membership date is closed to purchase a member to become a member, purchase a membership to become

00:28:44.060 a member. So, but if you live in this area, make sure you, if you're a Conservative member,

00:28:47.660 you vote for me number one on your ballot. See you guys later.
