The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney is LOSING IT! Approval rating falls as Liberals come up with nothing!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I feel like what we are seeing right now with the federal

00:00:05.380 liberal government is the long goodbye that started taking place for Justin Trudeau

00:00:10.640 after the 2021 election. I think everyone knows that they're not going to get any better than

00:00:17.300 they've already been, and they've not been very good up to this point. It's actually gotten so

00:00:22.660 apparent to Canadians that something happened that I really wasn't expecting to at least happen

00:00:27.860 yet, and that is Prime Minister Mark Carney's approval rating actually dropping below 50%.

00:00:35.240 Now, he's not on net disapproved of. If you combined his approval and his disapproval,

00:00:41.920 he is still at a positive rating, but I assumed he was actually going to be able to maintain over 50%

00:00:47.440 in most of the pollsters, you know, maybe up until the midway through 2026, or maybe even into 2027.

00:00:54.780 The thing with Mark Carney is that he's extremely boring, and it's hard to hate a guy who's as

00:01:00.400 boring as he is. But check this out. This is from a Leger poll, and by the way, Leger just released

00:01:07.740 some numbers that were actually pretty favorable to the liberals, to the point where a lot of people

00:01:12.480 said they probably need to redo some of this stuff. Like, I think their BC sample for the, for like,

00:01:18.500 BC, the province, obviously, they had like a 25 point lead, even though it's traditionally between

00:01:24.420 Ontario and British Columbia, if the conservatives are going to be leading in one but not the other,

00:01:30.120 they're going to be leading in BC, but not Ontario, both tend to be close provinces. But like,

00:01:35.260 the Ontario sample was generally pretty close. But then BC, the liberals were way ahead, which is

00:01:40.080 probably a big sampling error. So we can probably throw out the top line national numbers for the

00:01:45.780 liberals. But still, even with this poll that I think gave the liberals a national six point lead,

00:01:51.700 probably because of that sampling error, even with the sampling error, look, Mark Carney job

00:01:57.220 approval. Approval rating is now at 47%. Disapproval is at 41%. So he's only at a plus six net approval

00:02:07.900 rating. He dropped six points since the last time Leger did a poll, which I believe was only a couple of

00:02:13.040 weeks ago. So he's gone from and remember, this was going, this was probably collected,

00:02:19.020 or it says it was collected on October 5. This is before he capitulated to Trump on trade. And he did

00:02:25.200 it in the worst possible way. There was a way of negotiating this out to try and come to a win-win,

00:02:29.820 except he basically deliberately did not negotiate until the very last second where he had to.

00:02:34.680 And then he basically guaranteed that Canada got a terrible deal. So his approval rating went from 53%

00:02:42.080 last time. And his disapproval was only at what was it like 37. And now it's 41 for the disapproval and

00:02:49.200 only 47 for the approval. Again, I thought it was going to be difficult to get this guy under 50%

00:02:55.200 because, well, he's the elbows up guy. He's boring, but he's a nice dude. I've heard people

00:03:01.220 who've met him. Mark Carney's nice. And that's not a virtue when we want good policy. But at that base

00:03:08.880 level, if people meet him, if people see him on TV, they're probably not going to assume this is

00:03:13.400 some cranky old man, some curmudgeon who hates people or whatever. Maybe he does, but at least 0.97

00:03:21.700 he doesn't come across like that in person. And even still, the policy, the performance has been so bad

00:03:27.580 that it's starting to affect even the most boring man in the government's approval.

00:03:32.200 But now let's move on to some other stuff. The Conservatives have been really hammering them

00:03:36.980 on this deal, of course, because my goodness, there's not any blood to squeeze out of the stone

00:03:44.000 for the Liberals. So the Conservatives might as well just keep attacking. There's no silver lining for it.

00:03:49.580 Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev says,

00:03:51.760 Americans used to invest more in Canada than we did there. Then the Liberals took power,

00:03:57.200 raised taxes, blocked projects, and over half a trillion of net investment has fled.

00:04:01.840 Now Carney is saying he wants to push a trillion dollars south with no gains in return. That means

00:04:07.220 lost jobs, lower wages, and higher prices. It doesn't necessarily mean that, but at the very least,

00:04:12.940 it's demonstrating economic weakness that so much money is willing to go to the U.S. because you just

00:04:18.380 can't make a dollar in Canada. And he's showing the chart back here where, yes, back when it was 2006

00:04:24.560 and 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, you would see the red bar, which is investment from America into Canada,

00:04:30.940 was higher, even if it wasn't by a lot, than the black bar below, which is Canadian investment

00:04:37.340 into the United States. And you can see the yellow line showing the net overall effect. And in 2015,

00:04:44.560 after Trudeau takes over, Canadian investment mostly starts shifting towards America and not

00:04:50.360 America going the other way. And we are all the way down to the point where we are well past $500

00:04:56.480 billion of Canadian investment that has at one point moved towards the United States. It's so bad.

00:05:04.740 And the thing is, do you know how we could solve all this, boys and girls? We could cut taxes.

00:05:11.720 What a concept. We could cut taxes. We could cut regulations. You know, we could make it that if

00:05:16.940 someone's doing something, you know, they're doing something productive. They're machining something.

00:05:21.700 They're making a new product. We could maybe not kick down the doors of their office and say,

00:05:26.220 hey, can you give us basically half of what you're making right now in taxes? Hey, could you

00:05:30.600 stop doing that for a second? So somebody could fiddle with your process and regulate you into

00:05:36.460 being inefficient? Could you could we do that? And that's just the way in Canada, we just do not

00:05:41.440 the people in government don't even think about the guy who's trying to, you know, make the new

00:05:48.500 like hot product, the person who's trying to innovate with a new app, who's trying to start his own tech

00:05:54.420 company, who's trying to get into better resource development. All those people are hampered because

00:06:00.320 a government bureaucrat needs to have their fingers in the pie or else how else could they 0.98

00:06:04.460 justify their job without screwing with you. But now I want to jump down. Let's let's at least

00:06:11.420 let the liberals talk a bit. I always like highlighting what the liberals post online

00:06:16.800 because it really demonstrates what kind of rhetorical straitjacket they're currently in

00:06:23.500 based by their own decisions. Prime Minister Mark Carney here says, this is a post from yesterday.

00:06:29.840 There are areas where Canada, the United States can compete and areas where we are stronger together.

00:06:35.180 We're focused on building that strength to create new opportunities for businesses, workers and their

00:06:40.000 families. And then it comes with this 29 second video where they're trying so hard to make this trade

00:06:46.200 deal look like it was a success. We're going to be talking about, well, there's not even a deal made,

00:06:50.320 they just talk. But the thing is what he's already put on the table is absurd trade. We're going to

00:06:54.820 be talking about a lot of different things, but we've had a very strong relationship. We are the

00:06:59.000 second largest trading partner of the United States. We are the largest foreign investor in

00:07:03.280 the United States. There are areas where we compete. And it's in those areas where we have to come to

00:07:08.800 an agreement that works. But there are more areas where we are stronger together. And that's what

00:07:13.820 we're focused on. And we're going to get the right deal, right deal for America, right deal for Canada.

00:07:22.320 We're going to be talking. It's remember the elbows up rhetoric that he's out there to fight for

00:07:27.420 Canadians, and that's all he cares about. And then in that clip, when he was in the office with Trump,

00:07:32.640 he's saying, let's make sure we get the right deal for America and Canada. And by the way, I agree.

00:07:37.000 But this wasn't the campaign rhetoric. This was not the elbows up rhetoric. And in fact,

00:07:41.400 he's not getting a good deal for Canada. If he cared about getting one, he would have tried to

00:07:45.560 go for this win-win deal months ago, rather than screwing around to the point where he doesn't

00:07:50.820 really have many cards to play at this point. We didn't offer to get rid of supply management

00:07:55.140 because he, of course, still needs his Quebec dairy farmer vote and also Ontario. But most of the

00:08:01.520 quota ends up disproportionately going to Quebec. But he needs all these people. So he won't actually

00:08:06.500 he won't actually try and protect our entire economy by getting rid of this stupid protectionist 0.94

00:08:12.760 policy that, in fact, makes things like dairy and chicken products, poultry products, more expensive 0.97

00:08:18.900 for Canadians. But now let's jump down to another post of Mark Carney. Here's another one where he's

00:08:26.360 talking about building the country stronger, everyone. He's going to build the country stronger.

00:08:31.340 Our message to young Canadians, our message to people who are thinking of going into,

00:08:37.640 for example, the skilled trades, is we are not just going to create hundreds of thousands of jobs,

00:08:44.300 we're going to create hundreds of thousands of careers. We are going to build this country for

00:08:47.720 the next three decades. If you want to go into the skilled trades, you are going to have work all

00:08:51.880 the way through. Who shot this where they like, didn't tell him, can we roll the tape back Mark

00:08:57.940 so that you don't like so like, um, um, like twice in the video, it's a 20 second video, and he couldn't

00:09:05.920 nail it without an um. And what is that? Like, oh, we're not just building jobs in the trades.

00:09:11.640 We're building careers. It's like, oh, wow, my heart's fluttering, Mark. My heart's fluttering.

00:09:16.120 You, you, you took that, you took the difference between the word job, and then you said, no,

00:09:21.220 it's not just going to be a job. It's going to be a career. It's like, okay, well, job numbers are

00:09:25.420 down, idiot. What are you talking about? Guys, I have a plan to do something that my government has 1.00

00:09:30.600 been completely incompetent to do at this point, including back when I was the economic advisor

00:09:35.540 to Justin Trudeau. Here's, here's now Mark Carney devolving into just offering money to people.

00:09:41.760 Remember how we were going to spend less to invest more? Well, now Mark Carney wants to

00:09:46.080 increase benefits to families. And then they will receive all the benefits to which they're

00:09:51.320 entitled. In the case of the example I just gave, that's more than $25,000 for their family.

00:09:59.900 Canada's new government will start pre-filing tax returns in the 2026 tax year, scaling up to that

00:10:06.100 five and a half million number of low-income Canadians by the 2028 tax year. This program will pay out

00:10:14.660 hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits in the next few years that would otherwise be left

00:10:19.880 unclaimed, helping our most vulnerable get the supports that they need. So we are going to now

00:10:25.880 expand the availability of benefits to the point where in the next few years, we are going to be

00:10:31.560 paying hundreds of billions of dollars more. You know what we could do, which is the best anti-poverty

00:10:37.860 program. I said it at the beginning of the video, we could lower taxes. That's all we need to do.

00:10:45.580 But we have these idiots who think that the only way we're ever going to have prosperity is the 1.00

00:10:49.480 government signing a check to somebody. But now let's just get to question period from today. I just 1.00

00:10:53.920 want to play at least one of the exchanges. This just wrapped up about an hour ago to demonstrate

00:10:59.100 genuinely just the poor footing the liberal government is on. They know they're going down right now.

00:11:03.640 They know that there's nothing good on the horizon that people are looking forward to at the moment.

00:11:08.580 The Honourable Member for Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan.

00:11:12.780 Liberal policies are causing a deepening youth unemployment crisis, leaving the next generation

00:11:18.320 in an increasing state of desperation. Today's unemployment numbers show a further spike in

00:11:22.820 youth unemployment, now up to 14.7 percent and approaching half a million unemployed Canadian youth.

00:11:28.800 Youth unemployment was already at recession levels before these further increases. Liberals promised

00:11:33.580 change, but their broken promises are pushing yet more young people out of work. Do they

00:11:37.940 understand that these unemployment numbers aren't just hurting youth today, but are setting

00:11:42.180 them up for more struggle and pain throughout their lives?

00:11:45.220 The Honourable Minister, Secretary of State for Youth.

00:11:49.380 Mr. Speaker, let's talk about those jobs numbers today. Statistics Canada reported that employment

00:11:54.720 has increased by 60,000 jobs. That is 28,000 jobs in manufacturing, 14,000 new jobs in health

00:12:04.520 care, 106,000 full-time jobs. What is she doing with her hands here? No doubt we ended up increasing 1.00

00:12:13.460 manufacturing and health care jobs. We dumped billions of dollars into them in order to just hire 0.88

00:12:20.280 more people. And what do they mean by health care though? Because we still have a health care

00:12:23.580 professional shortages everywhere. I guarantee this is just some sort of like, oh, we've hired

00:12:28.080 assistants. We've hired people to do like health care adjacent jobs. There's some janitors in some

00:12:33.820 hospitals like, oh, we got 60,000 jobs. Well, we were losing jobs in previous quarters. So I guess this

00:12:39.500 is a nicer previous months that we had net losses in jobs. Oh, I can't believe we, the government took the

00:12:45.480 money it takes people, the crazy amount of money that the government takes in tax dollars. And now

00:12:50.820 it's given it to a few select industries and said, can you just hire people? That's not actually

00:12:56.680 creating more productivity. Will they create some productivity? Sure. But it's extremely inefficient

00:13:02.580 and it will eventually, the wheels will fall off the car. Mr. Speaker, we have a plan. We are making

00:13:10.800 progress and we are going to be there to create good paying career starting jobs for all Canadians.

00:13:15.680 Mr. Speaker, only an out of touch liberal would try to congratulate themselves when we have a

00:13:25.400 significant increase in youth unemployment in this country. These are the facts. Over 17,000 young

00:13:32.180 people in Ontario. Oh, by the way, I wonder if they actually calculate the TFW numbers into the

00:13:36.920 new jobs. Oh, we've hired 60,000 people. How many of them aren't even Canadian? Like, I'd like to know

00:13:43.000 how many of them didn't come back. How many of them got from playing from Amateur? And now they are an

00:13:48.040 employed person in Canada, when in fact, it's actually causing somebody who is, you know, below the

00:13:53.480 age of 30 to not actually have a job. Like, this is something that needs to be asked.

00:13:57.720 Ontario alone lost their jobs in the last month. Overall unemployment remains at 17.1% and

00:14:04.340 continues to increase in major cities, including the city where that parliamentary secretary is

00:14:09.520 supposed to represent. How can these Liberals dare try to pat themselves on the back when

00:14:14.320 Statistics Canada today shows even more young people out of work? Very good. 1.00

00:14:18.540 Mr. Speaker, let's deal in facts here. These jobs numbers are for September. At the end of the

00:14:26.060 summer, many, many youth are actually leaving jobs, going back to school, back to other other

00:14:30.320 work. But coming back to the coming back to what the Liberal government is doing, we're investing

00:14:35.240 a billion dollars, for example, in Red Seal trades for apprenticeships. We're investing in work

00:14:40.040 integrated learning. We're investing in co-ops, Mr. Speaker. But most importantly, we are going to be

00:14:45.240 building the houses and investing in the project. She has the most dramatic hand movements of anyone 0.90

00:14:49.160 I've seen so far. She keeps like posing and like moving like she's like a like a 2D animated 0.99

00:14:53.960 character that they didn't work too hard on. Projects that are going to create tens of

00:14:57.580 thousands of jobs for all Canadians, right across the country, beginning with our young people.

00:15:03.260 A member for Sherwood Park for a successful one. Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Secretary said

00:15:07.600 these numbers might reflect young people leaving the workforce to go back to school. That suggests

00:15:12.760 she doesn't actually understand how the unemployment rate is calculated, because the unemployment rate

00:15:17.020 is the percentage of those in the workforce who are trying to work and aren't able to. And

00:15:21.320 the unemployment rate has gone up. It's approaching 15 percent, approaching half a million young

00:15:27.500 people who are unemployed. That's one in seven. Mr. Speaker, it's time for the government to

00:15:31.420 stop trying to pat themselves on the back and recognize that this is a crisis for Canadian

00:15:36.240 young people. It's time for them to reverse course. When will they? 1.00

00:15:39.620 The Honourable Parliamentary Secretary.

00:15:42.620 Mr. Speaker, the data doesn't lie. In September, we created a hundred, over a hundred thousand new

00:15:48.580 full-time jobs in this country. Those are good jobs for all Canadians. We are, we are embarking

00:15:55.080 on a plan that is going to not only build projects, but build homes, make those homes more affordable.

00:16:00.180 They haven't approved a single job yet. They're just, they're just looking at projects.

00:16:04.060 However, yeah, like, what the heck's wrong with the people? Like, we've brought in a hundred

00:16:09.140 thousand new jobs. I'm like, okay, how many private sector jobs did we lose, though? Because

00:16:12.580 the problem is the government can create, also, wait, I'm just thinking of saying that, aren't,

00:16:17.320 isn't, aren't all these ministries supposed to be cutting staff by, or cutting personnel

00:16:21.540 expenses or whatnot by, like, 15%? So what are we doing? We're just like, we're creating a bunch

00:16:28.400 of government jobs, but then all these ministries are supposed to be cutting their, the actual,

00:16:33.420 like, their budgets by 15%. Are we even doing that anymore? Or is this just going to be just,

00:16:38.640 like, still more Justin Trudeau era style economics, where we just keep dumping money

00:16:43.540 into an industry, hoping that that will make us look good by the next election before everything

00:16:48.920 falls apart again? Anyways, well, we have just peered into the gaping maw that is our elementary

00:16:56.400 politics on a federal level. No doubt we will look at it someday soon again. But I have to jump

00:17:02.620 on a plane at some point here and go to my next destination, which is not even home, it is Saskatoon.

00:17:07.700 No doubt I will still be making videos there. But this is all very hectic. So, hey, if you support

00:17:14.260 the show, make sure to leave a like, subscribe, hit the subscribe button if you're not yet a

00:17:18.060 subscriber. You can also hit the notification bell next to the subscribe button if you always want to

00:17:22.200 be notified whenever a new video comes out. And then, of course, leave a comment on what you think.

00:17:27.780 It's always great to hear what people think, and I like to scroll through and reply to a select

00:17:32.300 group of people. Because, of course, if I have, like, 400 comments, it's hard to get back to everybody.

00:17:37.100 But anyways, with that being said, see you guys all later.
