The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney Crashes - 258,000 job losses as Conservatives take initiative!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.080 It was all going so well for Prime Minister Mark Carney up until the last couple of days

00:00:12.700 and now it's all started falling apart again. Mark Carney was able to weather the storm of having

00:00:19.220 three different Liberal MPs either resign their seats or make it very clear that they will be

00:00:24.300 resigning quite soon. But now that the job numbers are in and the Conservative MP Jamil Giovanni went

00:00:30.420 down to the United States to do Carney's job for him, it's not looking so hot anymore for Mark Carney.

00:00:37.020 I do just quickly want to bring you guys over to the website PolyWave to demonstrate how good it

00:00:43.420 looks like it was going for Carney leading up to this point. Now, I don't necessarily agree with

00:00:49.760 all the polls that are added in to this average. Shreya Teest is the guy who runs this website.

00:00:55.500 In fact, he's actually a high school student who's one of the best polling projectionists in the

00:00:59.600 country. But he just mixes in all the polls here and even he probably wouldn't agree with the mix

00:01:05.160 that is in here. I believe you can down here actually turn off the polls that you don't really

00:01:09.800 want added in. But at the very least, this for the national, like the average person, this is what

00:01:15.720 they would assume the current polls would look like the averages. Let's say back on back at the

00:01:22.880 very end of December, the average between the Liberals and Conservatives, all of the polls being

00:01:29.580 added together was 38.4% Liberal to 36.3% Conservative. That is, in fact, actually a lower

00:01:37.580 lead than the Liberals had back on Election Day by, you know, about half a point or so. The New

00:01:43.280 Democrats are up, the Bloc is up, the Greens are up, pretty much everyone is elevated from the last

00:01:49.160 election except the Liberals and Conservatives, but the gap is narrower. And then you jump forward to

00:01:54.900 now where the Liberal Party was apparently at 43%, Conservatives only at 36%, New Democrats at 8.6%,

00:02:03.180 Bloc at 7.1%, and the rest of everyone obviously doing very mediocre there. Now again, I don't

00:02:09.700 necessarily endorse the mix of polls if you add them all together. I don't think many of them are

00:02:14.060 accurate. I would immediately take ECOS off. I like Main Street, but the last Main Street poll was a

00:02:19.880 dog's breakfast. In fact, someone from Main Street even liked one of my comments saying it's probably

00:02:24.680 a massive outlier and people shouldn't take it that seriously. But this is what the Main Street media

00:02:30.660 and many political watchers were going off of. Wow, Carney's really opening up a lead and it's a new

00:02:36.540 liberal renaissance with everyone loving what he's doing until the job numbers hit. And now Carney

00:02:42.820 doesn't really have anything. He's scrambling for some good headlines because he kind of used them

00:02:48.960 all in the new year, like early on in late December and January with the China trip, with many other

00:02:55.960 deals he was signing or new projects he was announcing. He was trying to rack up as many points, make

00:03:01.500 himself look as popular as possible before he potentially calls a snap election in 2026. But

00:03:07.380 now that the momentum's out, it's just bad news stories front to back. So in just a second here,

00:03:13.060 I want to get to these job numbers. But before I get into that, I just want to remind you guys

00:03:17.740 that if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on this video. Subscribe if you are not yet a

00:03:23.000 subscriber. Leave a comment about what you think about all this. And of course, if you want to

00:03:28.020 financially support the channel, you can always donate monthly to make it more sustainable for

00:03:32.800 me and make it me less reliant on the YouTube algorithm. I actually added a third tier that you

00:03:38.320 can donate to because I realized there was kind of a big gap between what was like $4.50 or $5 a

00:03:44.040 month and $10 a month. So I think there's like a $7 a month option now as well. I encourage you to

00:03:48.600 join that if you like watching it, unless you are struggling on income or something in which I would

00:03:53.500 say do not give me any money, you liking and sharing is already doing enough for me. But now

00:03:59.220 let's get back to these job numbers. So my friend Kirk Lubomov here points out the raw data for Canada's

00:04:08.360 labor force stats from January 2026 are horrific. The private sector lost 247,000 jobs. The public

00:04:17.660 sector lost 10,200 jobs. Now I think we can all argue in a lot of ways the public sector needed to

00:04:24.280 lose jobs because it's just become a massive bloated entity that doesn't really serve its purpose much

00:04:31.120 better than it could if it even probably lost a third of the employees. But Kirk goes on to say

00:04:36.380 the private sector hasn't grown since April of 2025. And growth is a very relative term as well.

00:04:44.920 Growth could simply mean we technically gained a couple more jobs than we lost, but that wouldn't

00:04:50.680 say very much. And we've had our GDP per capita falling, I believe at this point, it must be like

00:04:56.740 10 quarters straight that the GDP per capita has fallen. The only way we're really going to raise it

00:05:01.960 here is simply by basically moving people out of the country. Maybe it has gone up, but it's not

00:05:07.300 because of wage growth. It's simply because many low income earners have left the country. So that might

00:05:13.320 per capita move up the average. But check this out. So this was what it looked like, an absolute blood

00:05:22.060 bath at the end of the year, which is hilarious, because I remember Mark Carney trying to celebrate

00:05:28.040 in the fourth quarter of 2025, we added 120,000 jobs, or he was basically saying, during the year

00:05:36.200 of 2025, we've added 125,000 jobs. It was some number like that, I might have said 180, it was in

00:05:43.080 the hundreds of thousands, like within 100,000 to 200,000. But the problem with that is that those

00:05:49.800 are seasonal retail jobs. It's, you know, Christmas is coming, lots of job growth in late October,

00:05:57.000 November and December. And once you hit January, between the end of December and January, those jobs go out

00:06:04.200 the window because you don't need them anymore. They're not really full time jobs. These are,

00:06:09.880 you know, it's like spirit Halloween. It's like one of the random calendar stores. Yeah, they end up

00:06:15.600 employing a lot of people around the country, you know, the Christmas tree lots, that doesn't exactly

00:06:20.040 last all year round. That's usually a bonus gig somebody gets alongside another part time job. So we

00:06:27.340 ended up losing, as Kirk said, 247,000 jobs, and the public sector lost 10,300 jobs. I wish these two

00:06:36.140 numbers were reversed. But you know, we don't live in a we don't live in a kind world at times. Yeah. So

00:06:43.580 we put the former Goldman Sachs banker, the former governor of the Bank of Canada and England and the

00:06:51.400 Brookfield guy in charge of Canada's economy. And it's just blood red losses all across the board when

00:06:58.320 it comes to the job market. Again, contrast this with him trying to celebrate his job growth numbers

00:07:04.340 right before they knew that this was the bleed off was going to happen. This needs to just be

00:07:09.720 ballyhooed everywhere by the conservatives. The idea and thing is that what else do the liberals

00:07:15.640 really have to promote? They have to deal with China and they got some good news out of that. I think 0.89

00:07:20.760 it's still mostly bad news because we shouldn't be integrating closely with China, a country Carney 0.76

00:07:26.820 said was our greatest national security threat. But yeah, I guess we can say it was okay, because, you

00:07:33.100 know, it's a new deal signed and the anti American base of the Liberal Party will like that we signed a

00:07:38.740 deal with pretty much anybody but Trump's America. In fact, they'd probably be okay if we just signed a

00:07:45.420 deal with Russia, Iran, and we just signed a deal with like, I don't know who else, Equatorial Guinea,

00:07:52.220 the Congo, what other places just killing people regularly that we could just sign an agreement with, 0.79

00:07:57.680 they would still clap like seals for it simply because it's not Trump's America. But now, let's

00:08:04.100 move on. Well, actually, I want to jump over to another one of my friends comments about all this.

00:08:08.580 Brian Breguet, a former BC Conservative Party candidate, although he's pretty great. He's better than most

00:08:14.960 BC Conservatives, although I'm not sure if he's actually with that party anymore. But Brian Breguet,

00:08:19.480 who is in fact, an economics professor as well at Langari University says, employment decreased by

00:08:25.360 25,000. But since labor force decreases, decreased by 120,000, the unemployment rate decreased by 0.3%.

00:08:34.080 Perfect timing to teach my students about why the unemployment rate is always a very, very useful

00:08:39.740 metric. And he's making the point, and I think it's actually good for us to take note of this,

00:08:44.420 that technically Carney and the liberals can say, well, you know that the unemployment rate did

00:08:50.220 fall by 0.3% in this last quarter, or last year or whatever. It's like, okay, but the whole point is

00:08:58.580 that people aren't even looking for jobs anymore, because they can't find them. So they're no longer

00:09:02.780 in the job market. The economy through and through is just so hollow in this country. The regulations,

00:09:10.000 the tax rates suck. And the only way we can actually keep jobs around is effectively subsidizing 0.78

00:09:15.000 industries. And even that doesn't work anymore. Just look at the auto sector that's losing thousands

00:09:20.540 of jobs down to the United States. And you can blame tariffs all day long. Tariffs contribute to

00:09:25.520 it. But we didn't have a very robust auto sector in the first place, because it's not that great to

00:09:31.200 set up shop in Canada, unless the Canadian government is throwing money at you. And that's what

00:09:35.920 Mark Carney is currently doing to try and keep more jobs from leaving, just throwing more money at them.

00:09:41.580 And now before I get to what the liberals are doing to try and stave off bad news and put some more

00:09:46.240 artificial good news in the headlines, I wanted to highlight this comment from conservative MP Matt

00:09:51.860 Strauss. He says, the prime minister can't write two sentences without using chat GPT. And he highlights

00:09:59.400 these four posts by Mark Carney, which are using the M dashes that are popular with the AI systems,

00:10:07.820 the random dashes between sentences where you would probably have just put a comma or just ended the

00:10:12.780 sentence or whatever. But AI really likes to do that. And frankly, yes, much of what Carney does look

00:10:19.540 like it's written by AI. Either it's written by AI or Mark Carney and his team are such generic writers

00:10:26.180 that it just looks like he's using it. And now I want to move on to another issue or another thing

00:10:33.680 that I thought was funny. So this is from a fellow content creator. And I think I'm I think I'm friends

00:10:39.920 with him. You never like to sign people up to being your friend. But JJ McCullough here points out,

00:10:45.700 I just threw this together now. Carney keeps having all these dumb meetings with the premiers in which he 0.96

00:10:52.020 says the exact same thing every time. And yet somehow he still needs to keep having the same 0.98

00:10:56.840 meeting even more following the exact same talking points forever. And so what he's pointing out is

00:11:03.660 that since March of 2025, before the last federal election till now, which is January, and actually

00:11:10.680 he just did it again a day ago. And I think JJ started making fun of that as well. He keeps talking

00:11:16.400 to the premiers about interprovincial trade barriers. So let's just look at this one quickly

00:11:21.300 on March 21. I know you won't feel to see it very clearly on your screen, but I'll read it back on

00:11:27.200 March 21, 2025. Prime Minister Mark Carney said, the premiers and I are focused on building one strong

00:11:34.640 Canadian economy. It's time to break down internal trade barriers. It's time that workers certified in

00:11:40.660 one province are allowed to work anywhere in the country. It's time to build big things without

00:11:45.600 rounds of red tape. We're strong, stronger when we're united. And it's time to unite. And then you

00:11:52.720 come down to January 2026. And he says, Canada's stronger, more prosperous and more secure when we

00:11:58.500 are united. That's why the premiers and I are meeting in Ottawa today to break down internal trade barriers,

00:12:03.580 accelerate major projects and build a stronger, more sustainable, more independent Canadian economy.

00:12:09.420 We are being waterboarded with artificial liberal patriotism. If we just keep talking about how united

00:12:15.860 we are, I guess that makes it true or something. And as I just alluded to, it didn't end there. I don't

00:12:22.780 think I actually had this one saved. I'll have to go to his actual page to find it. But he just did this

00:12:30.580 again, not with all the premiers, but here. Mark Carney, great to speak with the Atlantic premiers

00:12:39.160 today. From energy to critical minerals to defense, we're working together to strengthen key industries

00:12:44.440 in the region and create more opportunities and prosperity for Atlantic Canadians. And yet we lost

00:12:50.980 247,000 private sector jobs in a month. And yes, all those are seasonal and would happen every year.

00:13:00.220 But again, we haven't had private sector growth since April. Have we technically had private sector

00:13:06.220 growth in the months where those seasonal employees were basically being onboarded? Sure. But when we're

00:13:13.420 talking about full time private sector employment, it hasn't gone up since April. And that was at a time

00:13:19.200 when people assumed that maybe Carney was correct, or he was not lying when he said he was going to

00:13:24.920 actually negotiate a trade deal with the United States. And so a lot of private sector firms were

00:13:30.200 starting to hire people thinking that we're about to have a lot more business coming through the

00:13:34.540 door. We're going to stop this trade dispute with the United States. People are optimistic. And since

00:13:39.220 then, the optimism has fallen off a cliff. And now we need to go back and talk a little bit more about

00:13:46.800 the reactions to conservative MP Jamil Giovanni going down to the US to try and negotiate a trade deal.

00:13:53.060 Now, Jamil, we've already seen in my last video, Carney, Melanie Jolie and other liberal

00:14:00.320 government officials are obviously they can't tell Jamil not to do it. They can't attack him

00:14:08.020 directly for the act of going down there. But they're basically hitting them with this ridiculous 0.98

00:14:13.400 line about how, oh, my goodness, General Motors just left your riding of Oshawa. And they left,

00:14:20.000 they took away thousands of jobs. Why aren't you condemning them in the United States? It's like,

00:14:24.920 well, because Jamil wants a deal signed and sitting around in the mud whining about GM leaving doesn't

00:14:32.020 keep GM around. But that was the only way of them attacking Jamil, because if they reject his help,

00:14:37.780 then it makes it very clear that Carney was never serious about getting a deal with the US in the

00:14:41.620 first place. And if they accept his help, well, then they look really pathetic that a junior MP who's 0.66

00:14:47.780 not even the critic of trade is basically helping Carney fulfill a campaign promise that he failed 0.67

00:14:53.020 to fulfill himself. But these are the sort of reactions we are still seeing since I made my

00:14:58.440 video last night. This person named Just Gus, of course, flags in the bio, said the ugliness of

00:15:04.940 selling your country out captured in one photo. Selling your country out? How is actually doing the

00:15:12.960 thing that Mark Carney promised to do? Selling your country out? Here we have Dean Blundell says,

00:15:20.120 this, and he's reacting to Jamil Giovanni talking about his productive meeting at the White House.

00:15:24.960 Dean Blundell says, this is called treason. Not only does this incel not have any authority at all to

00:15:31.700 negotiate on behalf of Canada, he's working, he's actively working with JD Vance and TPUSA

00:15:36.960 cause play as the diabetic version of Charlie Kirk around Canadian university campuses. He's actively

00:15:44.160 undermining national security, the work of the Canadian government to protect a government to

00:15:48.380 protect Canadian sovereignty. I'm sorry, he says, he's actively undermining national security. At the

00:15:55.120 same time, we have just signed a new agreement with China to integrate more with them on security

00:16:00.780 matters, even though Carney called them our biggest national security threat. You know, great, great

00:16:07.480 think. Dean Blundell's mind doesn't work. Great, great thinking there, Dean. He's fully captured by

00:16:13.740 MAGA's money and the Trump regime. Okay, well, what money? He has to show what money that is, or that's

00:16:19.880 him effectively accusing a sitting MP of being bribed, and he has no evidence for that. And Dean goes on to

00:16:26.860 say, coincidentally, he's been fired from every media job he's had in Canada. And like every other

00:16:31.700 maple maggot is universally unemployable and hated by every colleague he's worked with. So he's the 1.00

00:16:38.340 perfect maple maggot. I think that Dean's partially trolling here, because the idea that he actually 0.95

00:16:45.940 believes the things he's saying is too unbelievable for even me. Okay, so he's committing treason by trying

00:16:54.960 to negotiate a trade deal that would be good for Canadians. And but it's not bad that Mark Carney

00:17:00.020 decided to deal with China, our biggest national security threat. And also, Jamil Giovanni is

00:17:06.220 unemployable and nobody likes him. But he also got elected into a tougher riding to win in southwest

00:17:12.400 Ontario. Make it make sense. I don't even know if that's even true. If he's ever been fired from all these

00:17:18.160 media jobs. I remember him being a fairly consistent radio show host back in the day. Oh, and by the way, just to show

00:17:24.800 you how histrionic many of these liberals are right now. So the the Calgary native pop star Tate McRae ended up doing a

00:17:35.740 commercial promoting the Team USA, like you know, the Olympic Team USA. She was paid money, who cares? But now 0.55

00:17:43.900 she's being attacked because she's not patriotic enough. And as Ryan O'Connor here says, angry boomers, pop superstar and

00:17:51.380 single citizenship proud Canadian Tate McRae is a traitor for appearing in an NBC ad. Also, angry boomers, washed up actor and triple citizenship, Mike Myers, 0.56

00:18:02.320 who has lived in America for decades, is a Canadian patriot. And going up to this, this post as well. And then this is from TMZ. And it says Tate McRae is being dragged for promoting Team USA in Olympics ad.

00:18:16.480 And this is this is the problem in the liberal part of Canada. I don't think it's exactly a boomer thing. So I don't exactly agree with that thing from O'Connor there. But really, this is your big issue. But to a lot of people, this is the big issue. Who projects the like Canada the most, you can do things that even hurt Canada. But if your elbows up, then you are a good person. And you're not even elbows

00:18:43.480 elbows down. But if you're just a normal person who agrees that we need to actually build and negotiate work with the US as not an enemy, that means that you're not properly Canadian, even if you are trying to actually solve problems that everyone agrees should be solved.

00:18:58.480 But yeah, so we're going to finish this video off with a Laura Babcock clip of her freaking out about Jamil Giovanni heading down to the United States. He's back now. From all accounts, it sounds like the trip went quite well for him. Should be good for Canada. But of course, the liberals don't seem like they want to work with Jamil Giovanni, even though he's actually broken the ice on trade negotiations that have been frozen for months at this point.

00:19:25.060 And people like Laura Babcock and many people inside the Liberal Party are now freaking out because Jamil is taking the only issue that was positive away from Mark Carney. The idea that he's standing up to the Americans and he's fighting for Canada's interests.

00:19:40.560 Well, Jamil's actually doing it. And it makes Mark Carney look really pathetic that on the same day Jamil went down to the White House to open up negotiations again. Mark Carney went to Jamil's riding and went to a auto plant in order to basically try and shame him because don't you know that jobs are going away? And I'm going to subsidize jobs in your riding because I care more about your riding than you do.

00:20:04.120 It's like, well, you're the prime minister. So I assume that you're more easily able to subsidize jobs in that riding than Jamil is. But how about you instead don't subsidize jobs and get a trade deal signed so we don't need to subsidize them. But I'm not going to try and make nonsense make sense.

00:20:22.860 Jamil Javani's publicity stunt where he leveraged his relationship with his BFF J.D. Vance, which, hate to break it to you Jamil, nobody likes, goes down there, makes a fool of himself, Carney brushes him off, and the most dismissive burn I've seen in forever.

00:20:39.180 We watched the burn. There was no burn. Jamil, and who is this hippie on screen? She has the weirdest sort of friends, Laura. The burn, no. Carney basically got, it wasn't like uncomfortable. I'm not going to say he freaked out or anything like that. 0.90

00:20:56.900 But he obviously doesn't like that topic because Jamil's doing his job for him. And when they asked, the media asked about Jamil going down, he basically just said, oh, yeah, I had our, you know, our trade minister, I forget, Dominic LeBlanc, brief Mr. Javani.

00:21:12.420 And I think that Jamil's just doing this for all of you people out there because he's trying to insinuate that this is just a publicity stunt for Jamil.

00:21:20.180 And let's say even that it is. Why is he upstaging you? Why is there even the opportunity to upstage you? Oh, it's because you're not doing your job and he's trying to do your job for you.

00:21:30.940 The idea is like, oh, there was some sick burn laid down on Jamil. No, there was not, Laura.

00:21:37.320 And the most dismissive burn I've seen in forever. And either Jamil thinks that there's going to be a 51st state and he's got that shit locked up, or he thinks there's enough MAGA base that are going to support him in potentially overthrowing Pierre. 0.98

00:21:52.540 Whatever. It was embarrassing. It didn't embarrass Canada. It embarrassed him. 0.99

00:21:57.000 So, okay, so either apparently the two most likely scenarios in Laura Babcock's diseased mind is either that Jamil thinks that he's going to be like the governor of the 51st state and he's there to negotiate it out.

00:22:17.640 No, that's not going to happen. I'm sorry to break it to Laura Babcock. I know this is what her life is based on right now, but Trump is not going to ride into Canada on the turn of an Abrams tank to try and seize the country from us.

00:22:31.140 He doesn't care all that much. He didn't even take Greenland. You know, he talks about it because that's his negotiating tactic.

00:22:37.340 He asks for 500% of what he wants and then he settles for the 100% of what he actually wanted.

00:22:42.320 He got the mineral rights for Greenland and he just had to make a lot of really crazy noises about how I'd really like to take the whole thing.

00:22:49.660 And then he gets exactly what he wants because he doesn't actually want Greenland.

00:22:52.980 They already can build U.S. military bases wherever they want on it and they pretty much like the government of Denmark and Greenland aren't just going to like revoke the leases from the government from the U.S.

00:23:04.420 because obviously it defends them if there's U.S. troops around.

00:23:07.260 But Laura, no, there's not going to be a 51st state. We're not going to get annexed and Jamil's not up to flipping anything.

00:23:13.900 And then the second most likely scenario in Laura Babcock's mind is that he's trying to undermine Pierre Polyev, even though Pierre Polyev is perfectly happy with this.

00:23:25.500 And he's happy to sit back and watch Jamil, who's the one who has the relationship with J.D. Vance and people in the U.S. administration,

00:23:32.360 in order to humiliate Mark Carney, who actually can't get a meeting with Donald Trump,

00:23:37.940 or when he was in a position to get a meeting, literally ran away from Davos after his WEF speech

00:23:44.480 because he didn't want to actually speak in front of Donald Trump and be called out for the things he said.

00:23:49.480 He then later had to walk back all the anti-American things he said in his World Economic Forum speech.

00:23:53.920 But don't ask Mark Carney about that. Apparently, he totally stood by everything he said,

00:23:58.840 although what he claims he said in that speech has mysteriously shifted into a completely innocuous meaning,

00:24:05.780 which means he did walk it back. Jamil's not going for Polyev's job.

00:24:10.100 You know what would have been the best time to go for Polyev's job?

00:24:13.140 After the last federal election or before the leadership review.

00:24:16.980 Yes, Jamil, the tactical genius, and I mean that sincerely,

00:24:22.080 the tactical genius who is messing with Mark Carney by going to the White House and doing his job for him,

00:24:27.560 is deciding to go after Polyev's job after Polyev already got 87.4% of the vote in a leadership review

00:24:35.480 at the last convention, a convention that Jamil was there for and advocated that people vote in favor of Polyev at.

00:24:43.060 But there are liberals who will watch Laura Babcock's show and think she has some big inside lane on what's going on in Canadian politics 0.89

00:24:51.900 while she sits there with her friend who looks like he sells water filters on the internet through Facebook ads.

00:24:58.740 Yeah, we have this guy who's her co-host who, I think he runs like something called the Canadian Big Beaver podcast or whatever.

00:25:06.060 And I've checked it out and I think that maybe he punches above a thousand views every few months on a video.

00:25:13.480 And I'm not trying to say popularity equals correctness.

00:25:16.960 There are people with bigger channels than me, I find, that can frequently get things wrong.

00:25:21.400 I find there are people with smaller channels with me who are far more knowledgeable than I on many topics.

00:25:26.800 And that's not a dig at anyone. Don't assume that I'm talking about anyone.

00:25:30.040 I'm usually thinking about American YouTubers because I actually don't watch a lot of Canadian YouTubers.

00:25:34.300 And I've talked to other Canadian YouTubers and we mostly try and stay out of each other's way

00:25:39.720 and not watch each other's content to make sure we're not copying each other.

00:25:43.080 So you just kind of remain deliberately ignorant of each other.

00:25:45.760 But like, I'm not trying to beat down on Laura and this other guy because they don't have a lot of viewership.

00:25:50.480 But in part, the viewership is low because if you're somebody who has even a cursory knowledge of Canadian politics,

00:25:57.100 you'd realize that they're just completely full of it.

00:25:59.860 These people don't know what they're talking about.

00:26:01.400 But they're gushing about Carney and their just hysterical hatred of the Conservatives really is just that.

00:26:09.020 It's an emotional response.

00:26:11.780 But now, as maybe a final thing, and I actually just look up stuff while I'm doing the show as well

00:26:17.720 to see if there's anything interesting to talk about.

00:26:20.740 Is there anything going on with Carney and the Liberals right now?

00:26:24.020 Yeah, we can talk about this one.

00:26:25.700 This is their, again, their attempt to try and make it look like they're still in control of the country

00:26:31.220 and they're helping Canadians out.

00:26:33.140 The Liberals posted this 21 hours ago.

00:26:35.260 This is when he was visiting Jamil Giovanni's riding.

00:26:39.980 Here, the Liberals say,

00:26:41.100 Hey, we're focused on what we can control, protecting Canadian workers, investing in our strategic industries

00:26:45.900 and building a stronger, more resilient and more independent economy,

00:26:49.500 which seems to be like the message they keep saying on repeat and not for good reason.

00:26:54.620 It's just because that's all they can say because it's inoffensive, I guess.

00:26:58.580 Our government has already implemented the most comprehensive set of trade resilience measures in Canada's history.

00:27:06.120 We've moved fast and we're already seeing results.

00:27:11.080 Yeah, like 1,000 jobs being lost from GM and 247 private sector jobs being lost in the late stage of 25.

00:27:19.700 Yeah, seasonal jobs.

00:27:20.940 But again, we haven't added any permanent full-time jobs since April.

00:27:24.820 Our measures have created and protected 18,000 jobs across steel, aluminum, lumber and the auto sector.

00:27:31.940 They've prevented more than 20,000 layoffs.

00:27:35.300 We've unlocked almost $1 billion in private investment by small and medium-sized businesses.

00:27:43.380 We've provided income supports for more than 6,000 workers with a total of 190,000 more expected to benefit, including in the auto sector.

00:27:54.500 I would like to point out, this is extremely Justin Trudeau.

00:27:59.660 We've just basically purchased jobs for people.

00:28:02.760 And it's great that people are working jobs and they should have those jobs.

00:28:05.580 We should have even more jobs in those sectors. 0.86

00:28:07.660 But you don't get it by having the government basically pay for them.

00:28:10.360 I would actually like to see a breakdown of not just public sector jobs and private sector jobs.

00:28:17.980 We should have what we call like a, what do we even call it, public-private job.

00:28:23.360 We call it some sort of in-between, a blend job, a mixed employment job.

00:28:27.560 And what it is is that we count up how many jobs in Canada effectively only exist because of government subsidies.

00:28:34.240 Once we do that, I think that we would probably realize that Canada is a borderline socialist country where the private sector probably only makes up about a third of jobs.

00:28:43.960 Another third of them are public sector.

00:28:46.600 And a third of them only exist because of all the taxpayer money spent subsidizing the industry.

00:28:51.340 We haven't prevented any layoffs.

00:28:53.360 We probably gave a billion dollars to different companies.

00:28:56.440 And then we just said, you cannot lay off people.

00:28:59.520 That's not really preventing a layoff.

00:29:01.580 That person's effectively laid off and the government's just paying to keep them at that position. 0.91

00:29:06.320 And that doesn't mean that it's a position that should go away and we're just subsidizing crap jobs.

00:29:10.160 I'm not saying that this is like ditch diggers or whatever like that.

00:29:13.340 And we're just paying people to like dig ditches and then fill them back in.

00:29:16.700 These are jobs that could be productive if we had lower taxes and we had lower regulations.

00:29:22.380 It's not that complicated.

00:29:23.800 But anyways, that should be it for this video.

00:29:26.740 I do actually just quickly want to plug the fact that we have a bunch of new dates for events coming up from the 1BC party.

00:29:34.840 If you live in British Columbia, we do have a few events coming up in the next couple weeks or so.

00:29:43.120 So I will be at some of them.

00:29:44.600 I won't be at all of them.

00:29:45.920 The first two here I won't be at just because I'm going to be traveling on those days or I'm working on something else.

00:29:51.500 So in Sorrento, we have Dallas Brody and the team showing up on February 10th, February 12th.

00:29:58.140 They are in Creston and then in Nanaimo and on and in Vancouver Nanaimo on March 3rd.

00:30:05.600 I will be there for that town hall event.

00:30:07.500 And in Vancouver on the 28th, I will also be at that event where Billboard Chris will also be headlining with Dallas Brody.

00:30:16.160 And you guys can check out the events for I think there's another one you can check out.

00:30:19.140 But I just wanted to make that let you guys know about that.

00:30:22.140 And I will be leaving the events page link in the description below for British Columbians who want to show up.

00:30:27.320 Both the Sorrento and Creston events already have a lot of people at them.

00:30:31.720 I think both of them already have over 100 signups and we haven't even promoted them that much.

00:30:37.000 It just proves that 1BC and Dallas Brody are quite popular.

00:30:40.620 And oh my goodness, I'm going to have to make a whole video about this.

00:30:43.080 I'm taking my glasses off to demonstrate seriousness.

00:30:46.300 John Rustad is apparently going to run for BC Conservative Leader and I kind of love it.

00:30:53.020 Do I think he should be BC Conservative Leader?

00:30:54.880 No. In fact, I don't know anyone in the BC Conservative leadership race right now who should be the leader at all.

00:31:02.020 They're all basically a bunch of liberals.

00:31:04.280 We have Caroline Elliott who's spent probably hundreds of thousands of dollars from friends of hers over the last year

00:31:10.580 trying to reinvent her and make her seem somewhat conservative, copying Dallas Brody's talking points,

00:31:15.720 pretending that she wasn't a safe supply and SOGI advocate before.

00:31:19.100 And then a lot of other people are just former BC Liberal cabinet ministers or random guys who want to basically take the party back for the Free Enterprise Coalition,

00:31:30.160 which means slightly conservative fiscal policy and like nothing socially conservative at all.

00:31:36.660 John Rustad running at least really puts like, you know, the whole thing into context.

00:31:41.600 This is just basically moving around chairs on the deck of the Titanic.

00:31:47.560 We have no good ideas anymore, so why not have John Rustad run again for the leadership?

00:31:53.240 Honestly, this is where I kind of love it.

00:31:55.400 I hope he just goes scorched earth and just starts like wrecking everybody who wronged him.

00:32:00.400 Now, you could probably say that they were right to wrong him at that time because he wasn't a very good leader and there was tons of corruption.

00:32:05.840 But you have to realize, like, was that exactly all John?

00:32:10.640 A lot of those people involved in corruption are supporting Caroline Elliott's campaign.

00:32:14.940 They don't want to be fired. 0.93

00:32:16.160 And so they want Caroline Elliott to win because if she wins, well, then they get to keep their fat salaries and they get to sit around continuing to be useless. 0.94

00:32:23.840 I've said this before and now I'm just ranting.

00:32:26.800 I worked on the BC Conservative Provincial campaign in 2024.

00:32:31.280 I was first the campaign manager for Bruce Banneman and then I was just an all-purpose organizer and I went out and helped some other ridings.

00:32:38.600 And we even got Lawrence Mock, the MLA in Maple Ridge East, over the finish line by only, like, 90 votes or so.

00:32:44.900 He beat an incumbent who spent, like, four times as much as him.

00:32:48.140 By the way, Lawrence Mock, fantastic MLA.

00:32:50.280 If you live in Maple Ridge East, he's amazing.

00:32:52.440 I like that guy a lot.

00:32:53.440 But I literally was made fun of in the headquarters of the BC Conservative campaign because I only made $5,000 a month and I didn't expense my rent, I didn't expense gas, I didn't expense food, I didn't expense anything.

00:33:08.660 And that $5,000 pays for a lot when it comes to me.

00:33:11.540 I'm not trying to pump up my own tires.

00:33:13.480 And I was already making content in favor of the Conservatives before all this.

00:33:16.840 So it's not like you pay me money and I promote you.

00:33:19.060 I was just already liking what they were doing.

00:33:20.680 So I had made already, like, a dozen videos about them.

00:33:23.180 I come with, like, organizing skills.

00:33:25.680 I can be your campaign manager.

00:33:27.040 I keep making videos and doing all that stuff.

00:33:29.240 I asked for $5,000.

00:33:30.340 There were guys in HQ who were sometimes making, like, $15,000 a month, $13,000 a month, and expensing their hotel rooms, and expensing their gas, and expensing their food.

00:33:41.520 And it's like, oh, my goodness, people.

00:33:43.280 If you just took even one-third of a pay cut, you could have won that election. 0.99

00:33:47.820 They only lost by 200 votes because they spent money on stupid nonsense because the children are in charge of the BC Conservatives, people a little bit older than myself. 0.97

00:33:58.400 But still, I would at least contest that I'm at least an adult, and many of these people act like 15-year-olds, like, on a sugar rush. 0.99

00:34:06.820 They just spend money for no reason.

00:34:08.780 They haven't even filed their returns for the end of the year for how much money they brought in in donations and the other stuff because it was probably embarrassingly low.

00:34:19.640 At a time, the NDP brought in $1.6 million in the fourth quarter, which is quite a bit of money.

00:34:25.860 1BC, I can tell you, actually had a really good donation quarter as well, and we're a party with one MLA.

00:34:30.820 But, you know, we actually say things that people agree with, and we're not scared fools, and so we're actually bringing in people all the time.

00:34:38.800 We probably have almost around, at least at the start of the BC Conservative leadership, we probably had around, like, half of the memberships that the BC Conservatives did, and we've existed in the public eye for, like, five months only.

00:34:51.400 Oh, my goodness, you can't make this stuff up.

00:34:53.340 Anyways, so, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching.
