Summary
Justin Trudeau is a bully. He's a bully, and he's petty. And that's why the Conservative Party of Canada is doing so well in the polls right now. It's because Justin Trudeau has been a bully for eight years, and now it's time to stand up to that bully.

I think the biggest indicator that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is incapable of changing in any way,
00:00:05.780
he has zero humility to ever admit to a mistake or a purposeful fault,
00:00:10.300
he just is not the type of person who's ever going to actually be able to acknowledge that he's done something wrong
00:00:17.240
is this stupid shirt he wore when he was getting a booster shot for COVID,
00:00:25.780
Justin Trudeau is a completely venile, vapid, petty individual.
00:00:30.380
And this is a great example of how COVID has not been an issue for well over a year now.
00:00:38.580
That's what caused the Freedom Convoy in the first place,
00:00:41.020
is that we were restricting people's ability to go over the southern border if they weren't vaccinated,
00:00:47.320
It was based on whether or not you made a personal medical decision or not.
00:00:50.760
Completely worthless restrictions that were put in place.
00:00:54.340
And Justin Trudeau, in late November of 2023, cannot let it go.
00:00:58.800
So he slaps on that stupid shirt to go around trying to poke people in the eye.
00:01:02.760
Because Justin Trudeau's politics are not about trying to help people out,
00:01:07.080
provide a more positive vision of Canada and bring people together for that vision.
00:01:12.500
No, it's just about poking his opponents in the eye and dividing Canadians in hopes that he can grab up
00:01:17.940
enough of a wedge of support that he can stay in office.
00:01:24.160
And the funny thing is, I actually used to, not that I've ever supported the Liberal Party,
00:01:28.260
Justin Trudeau used to actually be a little bit good at imagistics and marketing.
00:01:32.980
The 2015 campaign was effectively just one because Justin Trudeau's actually half-decent at advertising
00:01:42.240
Over time, we've found that that realness is completely hollow,
00:01:45.000
and he doesn't actually have anything to offer.
00:01:48.780
And when he sort of sounds sincerely like he's thinking about things,
00:01:51.480
it's not because he's actually thinking about things.
00:01:52.980
It's because he's lying on the spot and needs to think hard through what he's about to say.
00:01:57.020
But with Justin Trudeau now, it's that he sort of dug in over the past eight years
00:02:01.420
to the idea that he's right in anyone who doesn't like him or doesn't respond well to his policies.
00:02:06.680
It's not because they have a genuine disagreement and they have an issue with the failures of his policies
00:02:14.280
It's that they're a bunch of knuckle-dragging idiots
00:02:16.800
and that he's here to basically mock them into submission.
00:02:20.120
He's going to pass laws preventing those people from sharing news on Facebook
00:02:23.540
like it's currently affecting the National Telegraph and myself right now.
00:02:29.580
He's going to try to put pressure on big tech companies to take down things that he considers misinformation.
00:02:38.860
And this is why I think that the Conservative Party is doing so well in the polling right now.
00:02:43.360
And it's not just because they talk about affordability issues
00:02:46.040
and want to get rid of the carbon tax and cut taxes and whatnot.
00:02:55.120
The reason I think that so many people are resonating towards the Conservative Party
00:02:58.600
is in part the affordability stuff that's baked in just based on the fact
00:03:02.920
that people will usually vote for the opposite party if the economy is really bad.
00:03:06.480
But I think the main reason that people are going for the Conservatives
00:03:09.340
is because they are taking a muscular stance against the pettiness of Justin Trudeau.
00:03:19.760
Is that going to chase away voters if he's constantly attacking Justin Trudeau?
00:03:24.440
Because when Justin Trudeau has effectively been bullying Canadians
00:03:27.320
for eight straight years, especially Conservative Canadians,
00:03:30.860
people are going to rally for the person who's going to stand up to that bully.
00:03:37.060
both in question period in Parliament going after Justin Trudeau directly,
00:03:40.580
as well as going after his allies in the media,
00:03:42.960
who themselves are the biggest conduit for Justin Trudeau's bullying.
00:03:46.660
That if someone stands up to the narratives and policies of Justin Trudeau,
00:03:54.180
They're pushing misinformation with no evidence on the media's part
00:03:57.580
other than the fact that it goes against the liberal narrative.
00:04:01.340
And now this is why I think that the Conservative Party,
00:04:06.300
needs to make sure it never re-embraces red Toryism that says,
00:04:13.740
Basically, it's this fake cerebralness that we put out a 50-page plan
00:04:21.240
That makes us, the adults in the room, who are going to win.
00:04:26.300
It's actually very silly to basically just say that we're going to put ourselves
00:04:30.600
right in the middle of Canadian politics, stand up for nothing in particular.
00:04:34.380
Yes, we're going to get rid of the carbon tax, and that's pretty much it.
00:04:36.980
You're never going to win another election in Canada if you only ever stand up for commerce.
00:04:42.880
Because Justin Trudeau, he has been taking an axe to Canada's economy,
00:04:47.360
but he's been more doubly so taking an axe to Canada's social values,
00:04:54.780
That's the thing that I think is going to make sure that the Conservative Party
00:04:59.100
doesn't just win a minority government, but a majority government.
00:05:01.880
Because I've said it before, if the people were voting purely based on economics,
00:05:06.380
Justin Trudeau wouldn't have survived the 2019 or 2021 elections,
00:05:09.800
and he probably wouldn't have won in 2015 because voters would have not rejected the idea
00:05:16.900
Not because, well, maybe we have to to pay for this thing in the short term,
00:05:21.020
but just running deficits for the sake of running deficits.
00:05:23.820
People wouldn't have voted for him back then if they cared deeply about economics.
00:05:30.300
And what Pierre Polyev is doing by, again, running down Trudeau in Parliament
00:05:34.240
and running down the media when they ask him questions is proving that he actually will
00:05:38.620
stand up and protect the honour of Canadians who actually believe in traditional values,
00:05:43.900
who are not morally subjectivists, who actually care about parental rights,
00:05:47.860
who actually don't want politics in the classroom.
00:05:50.480
And frankly, that's why I'm starting to run in Calgary's Signal Hill's Conservative nomination,
00:05:55.200
because I don't want to see us have another candidate who basically,
00:05:59.140
all they stand for is commerce, because that's what's lost the country to the Liberals over the
00:06:04.380
past eight years. It's just standing for lower taxes. I'd like lower taxes more than the next
00:06:09.820
guy. And frankly, I probably want taxes lower than many of my opponents in this riding.
00:06:14.080
But if you can't stand for things like conscience rights, for parental rights,
00:06:17.760
if you don't actually stand for gun rights for law-abiding gun owners,
00:06:21.880
if you can't stand for these things and you're just mildly against what Justin Trudeau is doing,
00:06:26.540
you're offering a weak conservatism that basically acts as if the Liberals are on the ascendancy
00:06:32.940
in Canada and that they're going to win in the long run. And the best that the Conservatives can
00:06:37.460
do is basically just say, put a little bit of the brakes on what the Liberals are doing. Maybe we
00:06:42.780
shouldn't drive 100 kilometres an hour towards the cliff. Maybe we should drive 50 kilometres an hour.
00:06:48.100
That's not compelling in any way. And this is something that Douglas Murray has said. I think it
00:06:52.840
was actually, I know not a lot of people read this book, but it's a good book,
00:06:55.760
neoconservatism, why we need it. I know everyone hates neocons, but I think they're the most
00:07:00.080
misunderstood group of Conservatives on the planet. But he made the very good point that
00:07:04.400
Conservatives often look very befuddled when taking on the left, because Conservatives are
00:07:09.140
not actually pushing for their own vision. They're basically just pushing for the older
00:07:13.080
Liberal status quo. So you do get a lot of supposedly Conservative politicians running in nomination races,
00:07:19.620
and they're not actually pushing to get rid of the Liberal status quo. They just want the Liberal
00:07:24.900
status quo from five or six years ago. That's good enough. That's what we should be fighting for.
00:07:29.300
But that's nothing to fight for. Conservatives can't be loyal to a status quo that's not your
00:07:34.020
own. You've got to make a new Conservative status quo of smaller government, of traditional family values,
00:07:39.540
of actually respecting religious individuals, gun owners and all this stuff. Once you do that,
00:07:44.580
once you actually have a more muscular foreign policy where we don't let the CCP walk all over us,
00:07:49.860
we don't let Iran walk all over us after they murder our own people on flight PS 752. Once you
00:07:55.940
do that, that's a status quo worth defending. Don't defend the status quo that the Liberals created in
00:08:01.460
the first place, or you're basically just saying, in the long run, the Liberals should win. Because,
00:08:06.180
hey, well, I agree with 80% of the stuff they're doing, but I think they're going too fast. Thinking that the
00:08:11.460
Liberals are going too fast is foolish. I even have one of my opponents in this writing who just
00:08:16.260
said that the Liberals are lacking direction. Lacking direction? I think that they're going in the
00:08:21.860
entirely wrong direction, not that they're sort of zigzagging on the sidewalk and they don't know where
00:08:28.900
they're going. They're literally doing all of the wrong things. It's not just that they're kind of a
00:08:32.660
little bit confused these days and we need to inject some focus. A focused Liberal Party, a more focused
00:08:37.940
Liberal Party would be a terrible thing. I want the Liberal Party gone. I do not want them in office
00:08:43.700
at all. I don't want politicians of focus and experience in office. That's the biggest buzzword
00:08:49.460
I've heard. Whenever people are running for office and they aren't actual conservatives, they say,
00:08:53.700
I'm an experienced person. Technically, Justin Trudeau has eight years of experience as the
00:08:59.380
Prime Minister of Canada. Do you like that experience? Well, no, because he has no principles. I'd
00:09:04.260
rather completely inexperienced politicians with principles rather than experienced politicians
00:09:09.380
with no principles. I like that Pierre Polyev was elected when he was only 24 because would I have
00:09:14.660
wanted someone who was 48 years old, had all this business and legal experience, but had zero
00:09:19.460
principles to back it up and was just going to basically be another Erin O'Toole or Jean Charest?
00:09:24.020
Obviously not. There's a lot of politicians in this country who effectively didn't have any
00:09:28.820
experience in politics or business or they were younger or that they weren't using any of their
00:09:35.060
experience from the private sector in government, but they're the best politicians because they're
00:09:38.740
not going to take no for an answer when it comes to fundamental freedoms that you shouldn't be
00:09:43.940
retreating on. Parental rights is not a good example. You do get a lot of nomination candidates
00:09:49.220
for the Conservative Party trying to sneak their way into a nomination who think that anyone who stands
00:09:53.700
for parental rights is extreme. That's not extreme at all. And any voter who tells you that you
00:09:58.180
shouldn't support parental rights based on some crazy hypothetical that somehow parental rights are
00:10:02.580
trying to attack LGBTQ individuals, that's ridiculous. Parental rights are just about not
00:10:09.620
severing the connection between parents and their children once they go to school. That's the most basic
00:10:14.260
freedom in a family that you could have is that parents are the parents of their kids. The school isn't
00:10:18.820
the co-parent. Obviously, if a parent's doing something actually wrong, there are already
00:10:24.020
mechanisms set up for that, so we don't need to demonize the concept of parents being able to know
00:10:28.660
what goes on in the classroom and what's in their curriculum. But there are some people out there who
00:10:32.500
want to retreat on that issue and they just want to talk about the carbon tax. I hate the carbon tax as
00:10:36.340
much as anyone else does, but getting rid of the carbon tax is not going to heal the social damage that
00:10:41.300
Justin Trudeau has tried to levy against Canada. Anyways, this was a little bit of a mini rant that came
00:10:47.380
about when I was just sort of surfing on Twitter, seeing some people I know saying some things that
00:10:52.740
weren't particularly conservative. But that should be pretty much it for me today. If you wanted to
00:10:57.540
donate to my Give, Send, Go for my legal fundraiser, I think I'm getting quite close to the end and
00:11:03.460
likely winning this silly defamation defense case that I'm having to take up. Basically, a billionaire
00:11:09.940
sued me for no reason but reputational pettiness, even though our publication or guest writer who wrote
00:11:15.780
an article referencing him was entirely correct and he couldn't prove it otherwise. And that I also
00:11:21.220
wanted to just plug the fact that, again, I'm running for Calgary Signal Hill's conservative
00:11:24.980
party nomination. It's to make sure that not only do I think I would do a good job in office as a
00:11:31.220
principled conservative, but also I want to prevent a red Tory from getting in a strong conservative
00:11:35.780
riding and making the riding redder over time because they don't stand up for anything but commerce.
00:11:41.220
Commerce is great. Also, we need to do a little bit more than commerce. Politics is a full contact,
00:11:47.380
you know, full spectrum issue. We can't just make the government about economics,
00:11:51.220
the government at the end of the day touches on a lot more than economics. So other than that,
00:11:55.540
I hope everyone has a brilliant day. And I'm actually about to go door knocking. So wish me luck.
00:12:00.740
Or maybe I've already lost this nomination race. And this is completely irrelevant,
00:12:05.060
in which case still wish me luck in an ironic, funny way.
