Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. It's very early into the Liberal government's fourth term and they are already failing votes.
00:00:09.160 Mark Carney was supposed to be the steady hand this country needed in office and that he was going to put Canada back on track and lead us through this crisis.
00:00:17.240 But he is avoiding like the plague actually putting forward a budget, which should not be difficult, and now the Conservative Party has compelled the Liberal government to table a budget before the end of spring session.
00:00:30.600 The whole thing is absurd and I need to do a bit of a breakdown of it because there's a lot of aspects of it that demonstrate just how shaky the Liberal government's hold on power is, including the NDP voting against them in this situation.
00:00:42.580 But before I get into it, guys, I just want to remind you, if you like my political coverage of things, make sure to drop a like on this video, subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber, scroll down and click that button, and leave a comment on what you think about this situation and other situations going on in Canada right now.
00:00:59.820 So the thing about all this is that Mark Carney came into office pretending like he was going to lead Canada through this very economically tumultuous time.
00:01:11.920 Our relationship with the United States has ended, although then he then warmly embraced Donald Trump because obviously it hadn't ended and it was just stupid campaign rhetoric.
00:01:20.440 But he was going to be the man we need right now, not in the future, but right now.
00:01:25.060 And then he says he's not going to put out a budget in the year 2025 and then the media coverage hits him and then he's like, no, we're going to do it now in like the fall, like September, October.
00:01:36.160 And rightfully so, Andrew Scheer, the current conservative House leader, who's just leading right now until pure poly of gets another seat, he said, no, you're going to table a moat, you're going to table a budget in the spring.
00:01:49.280 And so he has put forward a vote, a motion that says that they are going to do this in the spring.
00:01:56.460 And the Liberals not only lost this vote with all of the other parties voting to compel them to table the budget, but they even didn't have their full team show up and vote against this motion to compel them because they're incompetent.
00:02:13.000 Their House leader is currently Mark Gerritsen, who I have historically compared to a sweaty water buffalo.
00:02:20.640 He's very aggressive, very ignorant, and just flails wildly whenever a difficult situation happens.
00:02:27.820 And now this man is the House leader that Mark Carney has entrusted the government's ability to pass stuff with.
00:02:34.380 They should have been going to the NDP or the bloc and trying to make a deal so that they would vote in order to actually give the Liberals more time to table their budget.
00:02:44.740 Again, the Liberals should be putting forward the budget right now, but from the Liberals' political kind of viewpoint, they want to extend out the amount of time they have.
00:02:54.940 And it seems like nobody in the Liberal Party has done anything to try and bring the NDP on side.
00:03:00.420 And I'm going to get to a little bit more of the NDP strategy in a little bit here.
00:03:04.040 I think Don Davies is going in not the polar opposite direction, but I think he's going in a very different direction than Jagmeet Singh did.
00:03:11.340 He knows that he needs to bloody their noses every once in a while and prove that he can actually, like, you know, stand up to them.
00:03:18.640 He's not going to capitulate.
00:03:20.480 But the Liberals literally refused to let the NDP become an official party.
00:03:26.240 They refused to lower the threshold so that with seven seats, the NDP would get more funding for their legislative offices and they'd be able to hire more researchers and legislative assistants and whatnot.
00:03:37.560 They already ticked off the NDP.
00:03:39.780 And then going into this vote, apparently the Liberals didn't even think that maybe they should try and, like, you know, sidle up to the NDP and say, we'll give you that if you give us more time on the budget.
00:03:50.560 But no, they're too arrogant because this is something that you're probably going to see a lot in the future.
00:03:55.880 Mark Carney thinks that he just deserves to succeed.
00:03:58.600 He operates like he's still in, like, the business world where because he's CEO or he's sheriff, he says something that's going to happen.
00:04:06.420 And that's just not how it's going to work here.
00:04:08.020 But I think my friend Kirk Lubomov does a really good job breaking this down.
00:04:12.280 He says, the Mark Carney Liberals had their first defeat in the House of Commons with the Bloc and the NDP voting in favor of the CPC Andrew Scheer's motion to urge the Liberals to present an economic update or budget this spring before the House adjourns for the summer, which it shouldn't be.
00:04:27.780 And I absolutely agree.
00:04:29.000 The House should not be adjourning right now.
00:04:31.580 Again, according to Mr. Mark Carney himself, we are in a crisis.
00:04:36.120 We're at a crossroads.
00:04:37.540 We're at some decision-making metaphorical point.
00:04:41.740 And now we need to go drink pina coladas during the summer because, eh, government can wait.
00:04:47.980 I thought we were in a crisis, but apparently it's not enough of a crisis to table a budget or even work through the summer when the Parliament has not been sitting, the House has not been sitting the entire year up until last week.
00:05:00.600 We only started sitting a little bit last week, and now we're about to go on vacation?
00:05:05.400 This is absolutely absurd.
00:05:06.660 We are currently going to be sitting the least amount of time in a year since 1937.
00:05:13.260 There has not been a year that the House has sat as little as 73 days since 1937.
00:05:19.660 Usually Parliament tends to actually operate most of the year, and now we're just, eh, eh.
00:05:24.920 Mark Carney has to go, eh, Mark Carney has to go, like, I don't know, sit on a beach somewhere.
00:05:28.400 That's where he'll find stability for Canada's economy.
00:05:31.860 So this is the motion text.
00:05:34.260 It's pretty just a lot of formalities, but basically says we need an economic update or budget this spring before the House adjourns for the summer.
00:05:42.180 And this was put forward by Andrew Scheer.
00:05:44.620 And you can see the vote result was 166 yay to 164 nay.
00:05:49.800 Now, if you know anything about the election results, you will know that the Liberals won with 169 seats.
00:05:59.200 Now, one of those is the Speaker, and they tend to not vote unless it's a tie.
00:06:03.080 But the Conservatives, like, had, like, I think around 143 or so, the NDP had 7, and then the Bloc had 27.
00:06:12.040 So the Bloc Québécois and the NDP all joined with the Conservatives to vote yay for this.
00:06:17.780 I think they might have missed a few people.
00:06:19.480 But the Liberals, on this crucial vote, missed four people.
00:06:24.660 Four people did not show up, and if they did show up, they would have been able to defeat the motion.
00:06:29.920 And do you know why?
00:06:30.880 Well, we've hinted at it before in this video.
00:06:33.920 Mark Gerritsen's an idiot.
00:06:35.320 Now, I'm happy that they messed this up because I don't want the Liberals to succeed.
00:06:39.480 But my goodness, this was such an unavoidable issue for the Liberals, and they just let themselves get steamrolled.
00:06:47.140 Technically, if all Conservatives, NDP, and Bloc showed up to vote yay, even if all the Liberals showed up to vote,
00:06:53.780 they would still lose or they would have still lost this vote to the coalition of other parties.
00:06:59.380 But still, you shouldn't just chance it.
00:07:02.680 And we are seeing why you shouldn't chance it with this vote here, where if they actually got their crap together,
00:07:07.660 they wouldn't be in the situation at all right now.
00:07:10.020 Now, I just want to read a response from Melissa Lantzman, one of the deputy leaders of the party right now, the Conservative Party.
00:07:18.760 And then I want to jump over to what Mark Gerritsen said because it was very pathetic and whiny.
00:07:23.680 Basically, exactly what I'd expect from Mark Gerritsen.
00:07:26.160 The man who once challenged Kevin Vuong, the former independent MP, to a fight.
00:07:32.940 Melissa Lantzman says,
00:07:34.020 So what she's saying here is that
00:07:54.940 Kearney during the campaign basically said if there's going to be any increase in the budget, it's only going to increase by 2%.
00:08:00.940 Now it's increasing by 8%.
00:08:02.800 But again, we've also seen Mark Kearney is totally okay with signing orders in council to give himself more money.
00:08:09.800 So I really doubt it's even going to stay at 8%.
00:08:12.020 I think that Mark Kearney wants as much money and power as possible.
00:08:15.340 Not like a nefarious, he's trying to personally enrich himself.
00:08:18.700 But I think that he's a big government vision guy.
00:08:21.880 He is an economic planner and he wants the government to be as big as possible to fix as many issues as possible.
00:08:27.480 When in fact, the government shrinking would actually solve a lot of issues.
00:08:31.420 But yeah, this is absolutely right.
00:08:33.660 And I think that a lot of people are not going to be very sympathetic to the liberal government being forced to table a budget.
00:08:39.800 I think most people are going to assume, well, why wouldn't you do that?
00:08:43.700 Why wouldn't you be tabling a budget right now?
00:08:46.080 But here we go.
00:08:50.400 This is Mark Gerritsen responding to all of these issues.
00:08:53.800 We'll get that on screen properly.
00:08:55.400 And he says, very surprised because he's responding to Fred Delory here, who is on like the CBC's power panel or whatever.
00:09:01.720 He was also formerly Andrew Scheer's national campaign director back when he was the leader of the Conservative Party.
00:09:07.060 I don't even know why I mentioned that.
00:09:10.240 I just always like to mention when people were bad campaign managers.
00:09:13.060 No, no, no.
00:09:13.500 He was actually Aaron O'Toole's.
00:09:14.800 Dustin Van Voet was Andrew Scheer's.
00:09:16.840 He was Aaron O'Toole's campaign manager.
00:09:19.480 Both just did a bad job.
00:09:21.540 Anyways.
00:09:23.660 So in response to Fred Delory covering the fact that they ended up not actually winning this vote,
00:09:29.780 Mark Gerritsen, the Liberal House leader, says,
00:09:32.960 Very surprised you would jump on this without giving it some thought, Fred Delory.
00:09:38.320 169 minus the speaker minus four paired votes equals 164.
00:09:43.360 We were 100% efficient.
00:09:45.500 We did not go into that vote thinking we would win it, but then almost accidentally did due to opposition sloppiness.
00:09:51.760 Now, what he means by paired votes is that there's this kind of tradition in government that what you do is if you have four people,
00:10:00.880 if one of your people is on vacation, you basically make sure someone on the other side is also on vacation
00:10:06.940 so that you are not basically having votes get passed or defeated simply because 10 of your people are away on a trip
00:10:14.600 and 10 of their people are staying to basically defeat you.
00:10:17.440 At the same time, you have paired votes right now.
00:10:22.260 You have paired votes.
00:10:24.400 And it's the start of Parliament.
00:10:26.180 Sorry, why can't people do their jobs?
00:10:28.780 It's only been one week and people needed to go take a Malibu beach vacation.
00:10:34.420 What are people doing?
00:10:35.900 Are they traveling Canada to promote us as a travel destination?
00:10:40.340 What are we doing?
00:10:41.040 Are they doing important business?
00:10:42.480 No.
00:10:43.000 No.
00:10:44.040 They should be present for the vote.
00:10:45.160 Parliament has only been operating for one week.
00:10:48.920 So let's just sit down and figure this stuff out.
00:10:52.100 So, yeah, no, that's a really stupid thing to do a paired vote on.
00:10:55.920 You're going to do a paired vote when you've just said that the other side was being sloppy
00:11:00.140 and that you could have potentially actually passed this if you had some other people show up.
00:11:04.020 Don't do paired votes.
00:11:05.240 And again, I'm happy to see the Liberals lose.
00:11:07.500 But I'm also just frustrated looking at how they're justifying sucking at their jobs.
00:11:13.200 But, you know, what can you do?
00:11:14.380 It's Canada and, you know, this is all we can really hope for in this country.
00:11:18.660 Oh, my goodness.
00:11:19.380 I just want to cover one more thing because it's patently ridiculous.
00:11:23.000 Again, this was actually posted by my friend Kirk Lubomov.
00:11:26.200 And he said, Canada's revenue agency wants to remind you that it's Global Parents Day.
00:11:31.360 And you're going to wonder what's the image going to be here, guys?
00:11:35.200 What's the image going to be here?
00:11:36.300 I'll just read the little preamble so you can think about what image they paired up with Parents Day.
00:11:42.580 Have you welcomed a new child to your family?
00:11:45.040 Congrats.
00:11:45.880 You could be eligible for the Canada Child Benefit.
00:11:48.760 Use your calculator to see how much you could get.
00:11:50.720 You could get, oh, well, it's, oh, yeah.
00:11:53.000 So, like, we should probably be, you know, imagining, you know, a younger family.
00:11:57.720 We could imagine they might be in financial struggles right now.
00:12:00.760 The economy is bad.
00:12:01.760 You know, tariff situations, whatnot.
00:12:03.280 Let's have, like, a young, late 20s family, early 30s family representing what it is to be new parents.
00:12:11.300 People who, you know, wanted to have kids.
00:12:13.460 They had kids.
00:12:14.420 They didn't do this as just, like, a fun choice, not just, like, a designer handbag kind of a choice.
00:12:19.060 So, what photo do we use?
00:12:20.620 Oh, it's two men.
00:12:23.480 Why?
00:12:25.440 Like, why?
00:12:27.620 Why did you do this?
00:12:28.960 This is not, I'm sorry, a typical family unit that would be using the Canada Child Benefit.
00:12:36.380 And you'll always get the response in times like this of, well, what's wrong with that, Wyatt?
00:12:40.700 Well, shouldn't the government be trying to promote messaging and images towards the vast majority of people accessing its programs?
00:12:51.360 Not people who didn't really need to use the program but, like, adopted a kid.
00:12:55.920 And, okay, adoption's fine.
00:13:00.160 Also, why?
00:13:01.880 Oh, because June, it needs to be two gay men.
00:13:04.880 Why?
00:13:05.900 Have it be an actual younger couple who had kids and promoting that you can get access to Canada Child Benefit.
00:13:14.460 What are you doing?
00:13:15.280 Not people who just chose to do it and then might be able to access the benefit.
00:13:19.660 That's the problem here.
00:13:20.780 This is, we want to promote those who had a kid and, like, you know, didn't just choose to have, like, didn't just choose to go get a kid.
00:13:29.540 Can we promote the people who actually, you know, had it?
00:13:33.640 Well, whatever.
00:13:34.500 I guess that's too, that's too normal.
00:13:36.040 That's my bigoted normality culture coming from me.
00:13:40.600 But, guys, this is what Virtue Signal and Government does.
00:13:44.280 We are promoting a Canada Child Benefit and it must be a gay male couple being promoted, accessing it.
00:13:50.960 You can't make it make sense.
00:13:52.880 Anyways, but it's June, Wyatt.
00:13:54.340 It's June.
00:13:55.120 That means it's okay.
00:13:55.980 It's not okay.
00:13:57.140 Do, the government should be doing normal stuff.
00:13:59.960 The government should, you know what?
00:14:01.860 If it, I will, I have a proposal.
00:14:05.080 Have no image.
00:14:06.680 Just have a blank government screen that just says Canada Child Benefit.
00:14:09.960 Use the calculator.
00:14:11.000 That's it.
00:14:11.500 If it's too offensive to show just normal families, then I guess just have a blank screen.
00:14:19.440 But let me be clear.
00:14:21.080 There are social engineers who work for the government in these departments who actually will only ever show the abnormal family.
00:14:30.140 And abnormal, yeah, it's not the normal.
00:14:33.040 Like, people always get mad when you use the word abnormal when we're literally just talking about not the normal.
00:14:37.140 But there are people who will only ever use what is the not normal image for stuff like this.
00:14:43.320 And it does tick people off because people look at it and they know that you can feel the focus group when you see something like that.
00:14:51.320 It's like whenever you see some sort of, like, clothing company and they're using, like, plus size models.
00:14:59.640 It's because a focus group was involved and they're like, we should do this because it's really good for society.
00:15:04.840 No, it's not actually, but whatever.
00:15:07.500 Anyways, so that should be it for this video, guys.
00:15:11.080 Make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, do all that great stuff.
00:15:15.380 And I will see you guys all later.
00:15:17.200 We'll see you guys next time.
00:15:34.760 Bye.
