Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:02.920 In the aftermath of the Conservatives, Bloc Québécois, and NDP joining together to vote through a motion
00:00:09.640 telling the Liberal government to either table a budget or an economic update before the spring session ends,
00:00:16.680 question period isn't going so hot for the Liberals,
00:00:19.600 with many Liberals not really knowing how to justify themselves with so many parties now against them on this big issue.
00:00:26.580 I know a lot of people in the comments will say, well, the motion doesn't force the Liberals to do this.
00:00:32.540 At the same time, it's a really bad look.
00:00:35.580 And politics is like 50% imagistics.
00:00:39.240 And this early into a new government being hounded by every single opposition party for failing to do your jobs
00:00:46.400 is a really, really bad thing for Mark Carney.
00:00:49.500 Because again, he's supposed to be the professional steady hand leading Canada through a crisis,
00:00:54.400 and he is currently running away from tabling a budget or economic update
00:00:59.900 and was originally not even going to put one forward in 2025
00:01:02.880 and now is going to supposedly put one forward in the fall,
00:01:06.040 but is still trying to vote through spending plans saying he can spend nearly half a trillion dollars this year
00:01:13.480 plus another $33 billion over here and probably some more money over here he'll sign himself over.
00:01:18.300 It's all been a bad look.
00:01:20.700 And I think that stuff like this is really exemplary of it.
00:01:25.000 Mr. Speaker, I realize he's new here, but all those things would be in a budget if he'd pay go well.
00:01:37.480 Mr. Speaker, this year alone, this government is going to spend a staggering $26 billion
00:01:43.060 on high-priced, Liberal-friendly consultants, an eye-watering $1,400 for every Canadian family.
00:01:50.580 They'll present no budget, no departmental plans, and zero transparency.
00:01:55.720 They won't even stand in this house and tell Canadians what the deficit will be this year.
00:02:00.720 And that is an actually just insane thing.
00:02:03.580 They can't even tell you, generally speaking, what the departments are going to spend money on.
00:02:08.880 The budget plan or the spending plan they put forward was basically just asking for half a trillion dollars
00:02:14.580 with almost no strings attached to how they were going to spend it.
00:02:18.700 It's like this department will get this sum of money to be spent on.
00:02:23.600 Usually what you then do before you actually get the budget out is you go through estimates
00:02:28.300 and the money is then allocated to specific departments for specific purposes
00:02:32.820 so people at least get a general overview of how you're going to spend it.
00:02:36.160 Obviously, you can never say down to singular dollars what it's going to be spent on.
00:02:41.000 But generally speaking, if it's going to the health care budget, you will have about a dozen or more major spending items
00:02:48.640 that that money is going towards.
00:02:50.540 And they are just not doing any of that, basically just saying, trust us, bro.
00:02:54.220 Well, the Liberals come clean.
00:02:56.360 Table the spring budget as this House has demanded.
00:02:58.960 The right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:03:07.160 Mr. Speaker, unlike the member opposite, I know the difference between main estimates and budget.
00:03:13.740 Unlike the member opposite, unlike the member opposite, I know how to grow.
00:03:19.620 Unlike the member opposite, I know how to grow.
00:03:21.960 So we do have the speaker here now shut it down for a little bit naturally because there was a lot of jeering.
00:03:33.600 I just want to get back to Mark Carney finishing his statement because, again,
00:03:37.920 I was seeing people posting this clip celebrating Mark Carney's response.
00:03:43.420 It's just boilerplate deflection.
00:03:46.420 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:03:48.520 I will speak softly.
00:03:50.660 Unlike the member opposite, I know the difference between a main estimate and a budget.
00:03:56.160 And unlike the members opposite, we know how to grow this economy without spending money.
00:04:02.900 And that's why we're proposing.
00:04:04.660 Yeah, that's a statement.
00:04:06.860 The Liberals know how to grow the economy without spending money.
00:04:10.660 And that's why the amount of federal government employees under their watch has nearly gone up 50%
00:04:16.300 from what it was under Stephen Harper.
00:04:18.080 And in case you're wondering, the population didn't go up that much over that period of time.
00:04:24.080 They're just bloating the government.
00:04:25.720 They are, like Doug Ford's PCs on Ontario, very reliant on just giving subsidies to industries to create jobs or the government creating jobs themselves.
00:04:34.840 It's the fake way of making it seem like the economy is growing.
00:04:38.440 The other aspect, which I talked about yesterday in another video, is they just import a bunch of people.
00:04:43.440 If you bring in massive amounts of new immigrants and temporary workers and students, you will sort of add a bunch of cash into the economy.
00:04:51.120 But it's not proportionate to the population.
00:04:53.500 So our population or our GDP per capita has been going down over time in a very unhealthy way.
00:05:01.460 So now I just wanted to jump on to another thing that happened.
00:05:04.920 And that is Cheryl Gallant, another Conservative MP, going after the Liberals again on this budget plan issue.
00:05:11.180 The Honourable Member for Algonquin, Renfrew Pembroke.
00:05:15.980 Mr. Speaker, the House has spoken.
00:05:18.780 Parliament is demanding a budget this spring.
00:05:21.800 The Liberals have already broken their promise of a spending cap.
00:05:25.620 A budget is more than a big bulk of spending.
00:05:29.500 It tells us how much it's going to cost.
00:05:32.180 How much are they going to raise taxes?
00:05:34.320 How much are they going to borrow?
00:05:36.080 The Liberals have no plan to manage the debt.
00:05:39.020 Mr. Speaker, will the Liberal Minority Government listen to the majority of Parliament and table a budget this spring?
00:05:52.700 The Honourable Minister of Transport and Internal Trade.
00:05:57.040 Oh, and apologies ahead of time, guys, because Miss Christia Freeland will be answering this question.
00:06:03.560 Mr. Speaker, our government does have a plan.
00:06:09.020 And that plan is what we discussed yesterday in Saskatoon with the Premiers from across the country.
00:06:18.740 I do have to agree with the leader of the bloc.
00:06:22.360 It was 11, and it was 11 because the Premiers, Liberals, Conservatives, NDP agree now is the time to build Canada, to build one Canadian economy.
00:06:34.240 It will add $200 billion to our economy.
00:06:37.200 Let's all of us in this house should support that.
00:06:39.600 Well, yeah, it was 11.
00:06:41.860 That's why you currently have Alberta Premier Daniel Smith in a fairly contentious fight with Mark Carney.
00:06:47.640 For, again, flip-flopping on whether or not he will support pipelines,
00:06:51.540 David Eby, the Premier of British Columbia, has already seemingly shut down the idea of building a pipeline to, like, tidewater out in British Columbia to the coast.
00:07:02.740 So, like, no, yes, they are going to agree on a bunch of stuff, but it's because the Liberals just keep putting forward boilerplate that nobody could disagree with.
00:07:11.260 Here's a great instance in this same QP of Andrew Lawton, a fantastic new Conservative MP, getting up and basically getting into this fight with Ryan Turnbull,
00:07:23.280 where Ryan Turnbull admits that he and other Liberals are still in favor of the carbon tax.
00:07:28.100 Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On December 12th, that member tweeted that the carbon tax had a minimal effect on the cost of living and inflation.
00:07:37.220 But on April 1st, when he got his fresh talking points from the Prime Minister, he said axing the carbon tax made life less affordable.
00:07:43.620 The Prime Minister is not here to tell him what he says, what to say.
00:07:46.500 What does he really think about the carbon tax, Mr. Speaker?
00:07:49.780 We have a member for Whitby. 25 seconds.
00:07:51.840 Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think that our government did a poor job of selling Canadians on the truth, which was that the carbon tax was an effective measure for reducing emissions.
00:08:02.320 The most cost-effective measure for reducing emissions.
00:08:06.140 And, of course, the member opposite is heckling me, which is fine.
00:08:10.160 But I understand that, you know, our government acknowledged that Canadians, that this had become a divisive issue for Canadians.
00:08:17.060 We eliminated the consumer carbon tax because we really think that we can find a way to reduce our emissions that will put less burden on the average consumer.
00:08:25.920 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:08:28.260 The Liberals are not very good at messaging right now, especially around the carbon tax.
00:08:32.780 Like, they ended up winning the federal election, but it was less, it was more, I would say, due to bad, like, equally bad campaign work from people like Jenny Byrne in the Conservative Party HQ.
00:08:46.260 The fact that he got up and it was just like, no, no, we're still in favor of the carbon tax, or I still think it's a good thing.
00:08:51.480 We just didn't market it right.
00:08:52.760 Like, there was no aspect of the carbon tax that it worked.
00:08:55.660 The carbon tax did not reduce emissions.
00:08:57.520 Emissions were already going down.
00:08:58.920 The carbon tax was brought in.
00:09:00.420 They're like, look, the carbon tax is making things go down.
00:09:03.040 Like, no, it was still going down.
00:09:04.660 There's nothing about, nothing inside the carbon tax made things, made the, like, the environment better.
00:09:11.940 It did not actually financially help people the way that the Liberals would constantly claim.
00:09:16.720 No, people did not make money on the carbon tax.
00:09:19.140 And one thing I got to say quickly, because I have to be rude sometimes.
00:09:22.360 I don't know what Ryan Turnbull does with his hair, but it reminds me of this kid's show character, Robbie Rotten.
00:09:29.980 I don't know what it is about him.
00:09:31.700 He just needs to stop making his hair so pointed at the top, because it's, I only, I live to compare people to TV and movie characters, and that's what he looks like.
00:09:41.540 Now, another one, let's get to another clip.
00:09:45.080 Things were not doing so well.
00:09:46.340 So here's Dan Albus, another MP, also asking about the budget estimates, or the, about the budget coming out this year, and what's actually going to be in it.
00:09:55.160 And again, we have condescension.
00:09:56.960 Questions, the Honourable Member for Okanagan Lake West, South Kelowna.
00:10:02.120 Mr. Speaker, Parliament's demanded a budget from this Liberal government.
00:10:05.640 Last night, a Conservative motion passed, calling on the Prime Minister to table a budget this spring.
00:10:11.080 The Liberals are asking Parliament to approve a half trillion in Liberal spending with no budget.
00:10:15.860 Despite promising to spend less and cap government spending at 2%, they've increased it by 8%.
00:10:21.740 Single moms, seniors, small business owners must budget before they spend.
00:10:26.080 Parliament wants these Liberals to do the same.
00:10:29.020 Will the minority Liberal government listen to the majority in this House and table a budget immediately?
00:10:35.380 Here, here, here, here, here, here.
00:10:37.660 The right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:10:42.400 Mr. Speaker.
00:10:43.820 Who wants to bet?
00:10:45.200 Like, 50 bucks on the table now.
00:10:47.480 Who wants to bet this is going to turn into more boilerplate non-answers?
00:10:52.380 Every single, it seems like his go-to line right now.
00:10:56.080 Where every time he stands up, he just talks about, we have a plan and we're going to make an east-to-west economy and blah, blah, blah.
00:11:02.340 Protect Canada from the U.S.
00:11:04.160 Kurt.
00:11:05.560 This week was a great week for the London Knights.
00:11:07.960 It was a greater week for the country of Canada.
00:11:10.040 Every first minister in Canada, from Quebec, from the provinces, from the territories, government of Canada, agreed on a plan to build Canada strong.
00:11:26.320 One Canadian economy out of 13.
00:11:28.340 That's what I was talking about.
00:11:29.640 No, they sat down and they agreed to boilerplate.
00:11:34.980 Nothing's been worked out.
00:11:36.220 They basically just said, we should trade between each other more, which is something that pretty much anyone running for prime minister in this last election was running on.
00:11:43.620 This is not unique.
00:11:44.480 The Honourable Member for Okanagan Lake West, South Kelowna.
00:11:48.780 Thanks for the update.
00:11:50.020 But what about a budget?
00:11:51.920 Canadians deserve real fiscal management, not excuses or fact-free talking points.
00:11:56.800 And here's some of the facts.
00:11:58.160 Liberal consultant spending is expected to rise 35% to $26 billion, breaking their promise to cut down on consultants.
00:12:05.100 Fact.
00:12:05.720 Liberals promised $20 billion in elbows up.
00:12:08.600 U.S. tariffs per leader dropped them with no regard to affected Canadian workers or fiscal impacts.
00:12:13.580 Fact.
00:12:14.320 The majority of the chamber voted last night for a spring budget.
00:12:17.780 Fact.
00:12:18.400 On what date would the Liberals face the facts and table a budget for their half trillion dollar in new spending?
00:12:25.040 The right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:12:31.760 Mr. Speaker, the First Ministers agreed on a plan to build this great country.
00:12:36.980 Stand up to Donald Trump.
00:12:39.020 Fact.
00:12:40.220 Mr. Speaker, the government of Canada.
00:12:43.960 But did they?
00:12:45.240 I'm going to cut him off right here.
00:12:47.120 And by the way, he has that guy sitting behind him on his right, that guy's face that's sticking out.
00:12:51.540 Mark Gerritsen there was the one who fumbled the motion vote so badly and fumbled negotiating with the NDP so badly.
00:12:58.220 The NDP joined with the Conservatives to force through this vote demanding the budget and an economic update be made before the end of spring session.
00:13:06.140 I love how smug they are at the same time that they're just deeply bad at their jobs.
00:13:11.120 Here's something I'm going to bring up.
00:13:13.400 Just out of left field here.
00:13:15.020 No, they're not actually.
00:13:16.000 They don't care about tackling the issues that Canada has.
00:13:18.720 This is from the Western Standard.
00:13:20.780 They were just covering a clip from Parliament, from the House, where Carney says he's going to carefully consider the blocks bill to enshrine supply management into law.
00:13:31.120 So that's, I'll link this article in the description below.
00:13:34.920 Go check it out.
00:13:36.300 Carney is perfectly on side with supply management.
00:13:39.540 If you're not going to deal with supply management, you don't care about building an east and west economy, an east to west economy.
00:13:47.560 You're simply just saying, oh, we might reduce some interprovincial trade barriers.
00:13:52.140 Well, the main problem is supply management.
00:13:54.720 The main problem is that you, if you're a dairy farmer in Alberta, you cannot sell into Ontario.
00:14:02.520 And if he's willing to consider enshrining supply management into law in a very permanent way, no, he does not care about building one Canadian economy.
00:14:11.540 And no, just because he got into a meeting and says we should build it and a bunch of people from the provinces said yes, doesn't mean that he's actually going to do it.
00:14:20.120 This is, he's already fumbling a lot of provinces.
00:14:22.880 He even said he was going to counter tariff the US, which, by the way, is a stupid idea.
00:14:26.860 You don't counter tariff the United States.
00:14:28.660 You lower taxes to make your economy better, to like make your economy more efficient.
00:14:34.040 That is always the better solution.
00:14:36.240 But then Carney's like dropped the tariffs in the middle of the election and didn't tell anybody.
00:14:40.760 So he's already had a history of saying he's going to do something, then not doing it.
00:14:45.040 I don't see why this would be any different when he's already saying he's going to carefully consider a bill to make the problems of our country worse when it comes to the East-West economy.
00:14:55.440 But what do I know?
00:14:56.520 I'm not a politician.
00:14:58.500 But that should be it for me today, guys, in this video.
00:15:01.680 I'm going to sort of stay up, keeping up to date with what's going on in the House up until spring session ends,
00:15:08.180 because obviously every single moment counts right now, considering we're in a very brief window where the House is actually sitting before we go on yet another break.
00:15:17.440 Again, we weren't sitting up until very late May, and we hadn't been sitting for the entirety of 2025 before that.
00:15:25.120 And now after about a couple weeks, we're going to end the session so that all of the MPs can go on another vacation.
00:15:32.640 To do what?
00:15:33.380 I don't know.
00:15:34.120 But apparently Carney, the man with the plan, needs to go figure out what that plan is before he implements it.
00:15:39.840 Make it make sense.
00:15:41.300 Anyways, so that's it for this video, guys.
00:15:43.680 Make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, do all that great stuff, and I'll see you guys later.
