00:00:00.000
Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and of course, Merry Christmas to everyone watching.
00:00:05.720
I am in fact filming this video on Christmas Day, because although I like my family,
00:00:11.900
I also have no life and like to talk about politics every single day of the year, if I can help it.
00:00:18.420
The only days I've actually missed this year were like when I was like extremely sick,
00:00:22.760
or I was traveling so much there was literally not an hour in the day for me to actually shoot a video.
00:00:28.120
But today I am not going to be talking about the year in hindsight or anything like that,
00:00:36.960
I know other channels and other people I even watch end up doing that.
00:00:40.700
I find it kind of annoying, ends up just being a complete fluff episode that you do not need to watch.
00:00:46.700
I want to talk about actual politics going on in Canada, and that's exactly what we're going to do.
00:00:52.500
Let's skip all the pleasantries and just get right into it.
00:00:55.920
So I really like following the Liberal Party's ex-feed, just their social media in general,
00:01:03.680
because I find you can tell a lot about how a party or a politician is doing by just looking at their social media feed.
00:01:12.420
This is them being able to give themselves as much of a gloss up as they want,
00:01:17.020
and when it's still not working, when if you put yourself in the shoes of the average voter who is apolitical
00:01:23.380
and it's not working on that person, you know they're not doing very well.
00:01:27.820
And the Liberals have absolutely nothing to run on if a 2026 election gets called.
00:01:34.780
It's almost like they haven't achieved anything in 2025, and their own social media feed reflects it.
00:01:41.300
It's absolutely pathetic. We're going to go over some Liberal Party posts, some clips of Mark Carney,
00:01:48.000
and then I want to talk a little bit about the economy, because this is the thing that's going to start dogging Mark Carney.
00:01:53.880
It was affecting Justin Trudeau pretty much the entire time he was Prime Minister.
00:01:58.720
Within a few years of him becoming PM, it was pretty clear that he was not great when it came to the economy.
00:02:05.560
It took a while for the pain to set in enough for it to actually affect a lot of people's voting patterns.
00:02:10.840
But the thing with Carney, even if he is technically performing better relative to Justin Trudeau,
00:02:16.900
the problem is if he has mediocre numbers, well that's it for him,
00:02:20.920
because he was supposed to be the regal businessman who's going to lead Canada into the future
00:02:26.380
with his shrewd maneuvers on trade and trying to grow the economy, but he's just not at all.
00:02:31.980
But anyways, before we get into it more, I just quickly want to plug the fact that my channel has a membership program.
00:02:38.140
If you want to help me make the channel more sustainable and make it less reliant on the YouTube algorithm for monthly income,
00:02:46.420
And again, there's just two tiers. I think they're like four bucks and like nine dollars or something like that.
00:02:51.320
And it just throws a few dollars at the channel every month in order to make it more sustainable for me.
00:02:55.840
But you don't want to hear about that. Now let's get into some of these posts.
00:02:59.980
So some of these are from a few days ago, but again, all of the stuff in the latter half of December
00:03:06.180
is the Liberal Party trying to make its case for why that you need to keep them in office.
00:03:12.140
Because again, these guys know there is a very good chance of an election next year,
00:03:16.820
especially after the NDP end up picking a new leader.
00:03:22.560
As we build big, we'll do it with Canadian materials, technology and workers.
00:03:28.460
It's time to build our strength here at home and to be our best customer.
00:03:33.540
And they just posted this translated headline from the Divior.
00:03:42.340
Nothing particular, nothing really to say past that,
00:03:46.600
like one of their Buy Canadian policies is now in effect.
00:03:52.140
Probably not, because we've already lost tens of billions of dollars to the Americans
00:03:55.920
in terms of investment since Mark Carney became prime minister.
00:04:00.100
The idea that we're just going to celebrate the fact that the Liberals have a policy
00:04:03.860
feels like such Justin Trudeau late last six months of his administration.
00:04:10.680
Trudeau did this a lot where he had absolutely nothing to say.
00:04:14.640
Like there was no actual positive metrics for him to highlight.
00:04:20.680
Oh, school lunch program is coming into effect.
00:04:31.060
And in fact, like with the school lunch program,
00:04:33.800
it demonstrates that you have done a terrible job running the economy
00:04:37.460
to the point where literally families would even need the government
00:04:41.480
to potentially kick some money in to pay for their kids' food at school.
00:04:44.660
You know, we never needed that under Stephen Harper, oddly enough.
00:04:47.540
But that's even a policy that Mark Carney has been carrying forward.
00:04:51.020
So I every once in a while see somebody who's supposedly someone on the center right,
00:04:56.220
like Rupa Supramania, come out and congratulate Mark Carney as being like a conservative in some way.
00:05:02.840
You know, he's this, you know, centrist type conservative that even Pierre Polyev would want to be.
00:05:09.120
I'm trying to paraphrase a lot of stuff she said.
00:05:16.280
In fact, he's not gotten rid of any of the terrible Justin Trudeau era policies,
00:05:25.640
And pretty much every leadership candidate running in the last liberal leadership campaign
00:05:30.720
pretty much promised to get rid of it outside of, I think it was, who was it?
00:05:35.880
It was just some like fourth place candidate who said that she would keep it.
00:05:42.800
But let's get to this video of Mark Carney speaking at an event.
00:05:46.560
This may have been their Christmas party, but they thought this was a great clip.
00:05:55.640
Our bold and ambitious plan is empowering Canadians to meet this moment and build a better future together.
00:06:10.720
You know, I want like, you know, actual growth.
00:06:13.880
I want us to be building things that are not subsidized.
00:06:17.700
You know, I want our economy to be self-sustaining, not government run.
00:06:21.860
But it's just all these kind of last shriek on the retreat lines that the liberals are throwing out there as they run into 2026.
00:06:33.300
They even lied about the budget pretending it's, oh, it's in a big investment when they mislabeled a bunch of money as being infrastructure spending when it was just operational spending that they would be putting money towards anyways in a given year.
00:06:44.040
The entire narrative that Carney put forward in the election was broken by him.
00:06:51.520
You have like the business liberal types mad at him.
00:06:54.020
You have the green left mad at him over the MOU that's not even going to get a pipeline built.
00:06:58.000
That's in part why the business liberals are mad.
00:07:02.020
But here is Mark Carney making his pitch to Canadians.
00:07:04.760
But as the Liberal Party, we know that it's not just what we build, it is how we build.
00:07:13.680
We will build inclusively, in full partnership with First Nations, Inuit, and Maitseed.
00:07:23.600
We will build in solidarity with workers, creating good union jobs.
00:07:30.500
And we will build sustainably, and we will build Canadians.
00:07:39.600
And you could say, well, he is, you know, always promoting himself.
00:07:42.340
There's a difference between a campaign speech and the speech that you put out as prime minister to promote what you're doing.
00:07:49.040
That was just, again, you should be able to say, you know, we did this.
00:07:54.960
This thing is now happening because of my leadership, because of our party.
00:07:59.020
You know, this company has just invested $3 billion into southwestern Ontario.
00:08:04.340
We have now brought this company to northern Saskatchewan.
00:08:08.040
We just built a new airbase in whatever, whatever.
00:08:14.920
We have auto sector jobs going back to the United States.
00:08:20.480
So he's putting up basically a campaign speech of him promising that if you give him enough time, he might achieve something.
00:08:26.600
It's like, well, you've almost been prime minister for a year now.
00:08:30.080
Yeah, it's been more like eight or nine months.
00:08:32.280
But still, like, you haven't gotten anything done?
00:08:36.060
You know, all of his achievements, anything that you could actually say is an achievement,
00:08:39.320
is technically saying the poly of conservatives pressured them into doing.
00:08:42.820
Getting rid of the carbon tax, lowering income taxes.
00:08:47.260
A 1% rate reduction on the first $50,000, which means, like, the average person is getting back, like, $250.
00:08:56.180
Which, in fact, is actually less money coming back to you than Justin Trudeau's carbon tax rebates.
00:09:01.840
Now, the carbon tax rebates were stupid because you'd still pay more money in, you know,
00:09:06.060
extra gas fees and food at the grocery store and all this other stuff than you're actually getting in rebates past a certain income level.
00:09:14.460
What he's actually giving you back in terms of what you actually see on the checks,
00:09:18.560
what you actually see on your taxes coming back, was less than what even Justin Trudeau was giving.
00:09:23.460
But also notice in this video, this is just a technical complaint.
00:09:28.500
Who is the person at the Liberal Party who just decided not to put any backing music in this?
00:09:38.500
This is not myself or other people clipping Carney's videos.
00:09:42.600
And when he was just, you know, making a speech in a quiet room because it was the Christmas party
00:09:47.240
and they didn't want any distracting music, it wasn't someone clipping the live stream of the event.
00:09:55.120
Carney's people, for some reason, couldn't figure out how to put a track behind the video.
00:10:02.140
I have literally, I have song choices I can put in the background just to prove it to you.
00:10:12.240
Just to prove that I could give Mark Carney-esque speech right now about,
00:10:16.920
guys, we need to build better and that means buying Canadian
00:10:21.020
and it also means working with Indigenous people.
00:10:24.380
It's better when you have music backing you up, but he couldn't figure out how to do that.
00:10:28.380
But again, liberal media right now is just kind of limp.
00:10:36.340
And what else is Carney tweeting about on the run-up to Christmas?
00:10:43.080
Democracy is stronger when everyone participates.
00:10:46.000
Proud of our Youth Caucus for ensuring that young people in Canada have a voice in Parliament.
00:10:53.100
Four young MPs born in the 2000s say they want to be a voice for Canadian youth.
00:11:01.120
Well, he goes like, oh, our democracy is stronger now that the liberals have a bunch of random young people
00:11:06.900
sitting as MPs doing apparently something productive we don't know.
00:11:14.400
Shouldn't there be at least, am I being too hard on them?
00:11:16.920
And aren't we strengthening democracy because Mark Carney appointed a bunch of young people
00:11:35.840
resumes its downtrend after the dismal October GDP numbers.
00:11:39.980
Breaks under $49,000 USD per person, lower than Alabama's $50,383.
00:11:52.840
We have GDP per capita or GDP, real GDP going up over time.
00:11:58.600
Not that much more over time back in November 2022.
00:12:02.860
Even if we look at the dip, we're around a little more than $71,000 in real GDP.
00:12:08.500
And now in November 2025, when these numbers were last gathered, because of course, December
00:12:17.280
But back at that time, and that's not even good real GDP growth.
00:12:23.100
But back in November 2022, even if I take the slightly higher number right at the beginning
00:12:27.380
of the chart, we're like, maybe we're around $70,000 or so.
00:12:43.420
And Alabama is not exactly a high net worth state, as you probably understand from stereotypes.
00:12:51.100
You know, Alabama's maybe a little higher than Arkansas.
00:12:53.560
But it's, you know, on the bottom half of the American economy.
00:12:58.860
And now Canada averages below one of the below average American states, where there's not
00:13:05.020
exactly a massive bustling economy out in Alabama.
00:13:09.600
I'm not even sure if they do any fracking, maybe some manufacturing, some other stuff.
00:13:13.840
But the thing is, they have free enterprise down there.
00:13:16.340
So even a state that doesn't have all the advantages of Canada as a whole can still pull
00:13:23.540
We could solve 80% of our problems by just lowering taxes, my goodness.
00:13:31.920
Here's another post from the Liberals back on December 22nd.
00:13:35.160
It says, we're introducing new measures and investing in made-in-Canada innovations to
00:13:41.440
reduce methane emissions, protecting our environment, and strengthen our economy and energy sector.
00:13:46.660
How does trying to crack down on methane emissions actually make the economy stronger?
00:13:55.400
I cannot stand messaging that just kind of asserts that a regulation that controls something
00:14:01.080
and in fact puts more costs on the economy is somehow strengthening us.
00:14:06.280
What regulation, what tax has ever done that outside of like regulations protecting copyright?
00:14:13.820
Because actually, in fact, protecting copyright does help the economy.
00:14:17.020
Because who would want to work in an economy where anyone can just look over your shoulder
00:14:22.040
But in general, something like a methane, like somehow methane-like regulations or methane
00:14:35.320
But they have a graphic down here that says, Ottawa announces new measures to reduce methane
00:14:39.660
They say measures because they don't want to say regulations because people have got caught
00:14:44.040
wise to the fact that regulations aren't a good thing.
00:14:49.000
Here's another liberal post on the 23rd saying, we're building Canada strong by focusing on
00:14:54.900
what we can control, boosting our productivity, protecting and empowering Canadians, and diversifying
00:15:00.160
our partners abroad to create more opportunity and greater independence.
00:15:09.900
Well, why don't we control the flipping, you know, taxes much lower rather than giving
00:15:14.560
people one point off of their taxes under $50,000?
00:15:18.200
Another one down here at Liberals say, one of the first things Mark Carney and our new
00:15:21.500
liberal government did was cut taxes for 22 million Canadians, cutting taxes for middle
00:15:26.420
class, ensuring 22 million Canadians take home more every paycheck.
00:15:30.180
This is literally them celebrating the 1% tax cut.
00:15:36.020
You don't even pay any taxes on the first, I believe, $18,000 to $20,000 on your federal
00:15:43.900
On the rest of that $50,000, they've reduced your taxes by one point.
00:15:53.180
But yeah, I don't even need to go into anything else.
00:15:55.320
I just want to pitch all this to you and tell you that if this is the best foot forward
00:15:59.920
the Liberals are putting forward as we come to the end of the year, these guys cannot win
00:16:07.200
Any party that's in the top two parties has a chance of winning.
00:16:10.600
But these guys need a floor crosser from the Conservatives because if an election happens,
00:16:15.240
and there still absolutely could be an election even if someone else crosses to the Liberals
00:16:19.440
and they technically get a majority, we could still have one.
00:16:21.820
I can break that down in another video at some point.
00:16:24.580
But with all this going, the Liberals don't have a narrative for an election.
00:16:31.180
No trade deal with Trump, despite Mark Carney making that his only promise, pretty much,
00:16:35.740
and said he was like the Trump whisperer and he knows how to deal with men like him.
00:16:40.080
The budget's blown even more than how much Trudeau did.
00:16:54.200
Everything else they've done is just program announcements.
00:16:56.980
Program announcements, and that's kind of worn thin after 10 years of Justin Trudeau
00:17:01.180
when people realize just because he's going to announce something that promises to boost
00:17:04.840
the economy doesn't mean it's actually going to happen.
00:17:08.220
But anyways, that should be it for this video today, guys.
00:17:11.960
I do actually just want to link something in the description below.
00:17:14.740
I always like to go to church on Christmas Eve every single year, but if you weren't able
00:17:19.980
to go out or your church wasn't holding a service, I do want to link something below
00:17:23.220
if you didn't get to see a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day service this year.
00:17:27.280
If you want to check it out, I always like to link something John MacArthur or Phil Johnson
00:17:33.060
But with that all said, thank you guys for watching.
00:17:37.820
Tell a friend about the channel before the end of the year, and I will see you all next time.
