It was bad enough when there were rumours that Liberal MP Stephen Gilbeau will be resigning his seat in June, along with Jonathan Wilkinson and Nate Erskine-Smith. It no longer sounds like that's going to happen, because something even worse for Prime Minister Mark Carney might happen.
00:00:00.000Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.260It was bad enough for Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Liberal government
00:00:10.240when there were rumors that Liberal MP Stephen Gilbeau will be resigning his seat in June
00:00:16.600alongside Jonathan Wilkinson and Nate Erskine-Smith.
00:00:21.080It no longer sounds like that's going to happen because something even worse for Carney might happen.
00:00:27.320Stephen Gilbeau is going to stay sitting as an MP, but leave the Liberal Party to sit as an
00:00:34.260independent. This was just reported on this morning, and we'll be getting into the details
00:00:39.800in just a bit, and whether or not later on Gilbeau could cross the floor and join the Greens or the
00:00:45.420NDP. But it's safe to say this is not a turn of events that looks good for Mark Carney. It in fact
00:00:52.660looks like the pipeline, like I've been saying, is not actually going to happen because the eco-left
00:00:57.940caucus in his party is so radical that even his fake pipeline agreement was too much for them.
00:01:05.560But before we get into some of the details, I actually just want to plug something here in
00:01:10.100British Columbia. The 1BC party will be having three major town halls in June that I will be
00:01:16.720there for. We have town halls in Kamloops, Polona, and Prince George. So consider showing up to those.
00:01:24.440I will be linking the events page for the 1BC Party website in the description below, as well
00:01:29.840as pinned to the top of the comments. So if you live around any of those areas, check them out
00:01:34.220and make sure you can show up. I'll be there with 1BC leader Dallas Brody and the rest of the 1BC
00:01:39.780team. And of course, with this video, always do the normal stuff like share, subscribe, consider
00:01:45.460hitting the join button and becoming a member. But without further ado, let's get into this
00:01:50.220article from CTV News. I believe this was their exclusive story. It says, Gilboa could quit
00:01:57.540caucus as soon as this week, government sources tell CTV News. Now, I always highlight this.
00:02:03.840The funniest thing about this entire thing is that he's mad about the MOU and the pipeline
00:02:09.940agreement with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who's a nemesis of Stephen Gilbeau, even though
00:02:16.580if you actually read the dang things, it's very clear that Carney himself doesn't want to build
00:02:22.780anything. But Carney's whole plan of seeming like Mr. Pipeline, and then slowly making sure that
00:02:29.660the pipeline never happens later on, has completely fallen apart because the people in his caucus0.61
00:02:34.780are such insane environmentalist scolds that they couldn't even keep up with the grift that
00:02:41.600Carney was running. They are so anti-oil and gas, they immediately ruined his plans by saying,
00:02:47.820no, no agreement. We can't have an agreement. This is terrible. This is evil, horrible, no good,
00:02:51.860very bad. And Stephen Gilboa is only one of 14 liberal MPs who said, penned a letter to Carney
00:03:00.840saying they had a problem with this now maybe another one is jonathan wilkinson who's about
00:03:05.380to leave maybe another one is nate erskine smith although i really doubt it in the case of nate
00:03:10.120because he's probably been too busy to do background nonsense like this but overall you
00:03:15.480can kind of see the position that carney is in right now can he really keep doing his fake
00:03:20.820pipeline thing or does he have to admit it's fake now because now it's starting to cause
00:03:25.160internal governance issues. Remember, he only has a majority government of around one or two seats
00:03:32.140padding, and he has 14 MPs who heavily disagree with him, and one of them is planning on just
00:03:39.740sitting as an independent and could go sit with another party as well if he wish. Now, I just want
00:03:46.120to read a little bit of this article. It says, former environment and climate change minister
00:03:51.400Stephen Gilbeau is considering resigning from the Liberal Caucus over his climate policy concerns
00:03:56.920or sources in the federal government tell CTV News. The sources pointed to Gilbeau's disagreement
00:04:02.440with the federal government's rollback of Trudeau-era climate policies and the most recent
00:04:06.920iteration of the Memorandum of Understanding with Alberta aimed at building a new pipeline.
00:04:12.200The sources say Gilbeau is considering remaining as an MP,
00:04:15.720but sitting as an independent and likely would not run in the next election.
00:04:21.400CTV News has reached out to Gilbo's office, but has not yet received a response by the time of publication.
00:04:29.020Sources close to the former minister who spoke to him Monday say he wasn't 100% decided yet.
00:04:34.840On his way into cabinet meeting Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Mark Carney didn't reply when asked by the Globe and Mail's Walsh if he expected Gilbo to resign.
00:04:44.720Blah, blah, blah. We don't really need any more detail on this, but you get the point.
00:04:49.120this could become a bit of a caucus management problem for the liberal party my friend uh chris
00:04:57.860the great canadian bagel on youtube pointed out that left-wing parties tend to be very consensus
00:05:04.060based conservative parties tend to be whoever the leader is that person tends to set the direction
00:05:09.640a little bit and there'll be internal kind of fights over what should be done but it's sort of
00:05:15.100the idea that if someone out-competes you and they make a better argument more caucus agrees with
00:05:19.820them they'll go with that where they say that where his theory is that liberal parties and
00:05:25.180ndp parties require far more meetings being having these eye-to-eye understandings kind of
00:05:32.220all moving forward together this kind of left-wing collectivist type uh management although mark
00:05:38.700carney and trudeau seemed like dictators at the same time they were only they're only at like
00:05:43.660Carney's only as bad as he is, and Trudeau was only as bad as he is, because they tried to make0.96
00:05:49.760members of their caucus happy, who are absolutely insane. And now that Carney has done like one
00:05:56.300thing that Stephen Gilbeau doesn't like, it's going to potentially cause not just the exit of
00:06:02.740Gilbeau, but loosening up of some of the other 14 liberal MPs who penned the letter to him.
00:06:08.980because if Gilboa left, what causes some of these other people from not leaving?
00:06:13.660And with Jonathan Wilkinson resigning in June, if he's kicked off enough
00:06:17.940and Mark Carney for signing the MOU, because he really didn't like it,
00:06:22.680maybe Jonathan Wilkinson doesn't endorse the Liberal candidate
00:06:26.680for the North Vancouver Capilano by-election that's going to happen.
00:06:30.860That is, in fact, winnable for the Conservative Party,
00:06:34.500because that riding before Jonathan Wilkinson was the MP
00:06:38.540was a two-term riding for Andrew Saxton.
00:06:41.980Then before that, it was two terms of liberal Don Bell.
00:06:46.480But before that, it was a conservative alliance and reform riding.
00:06:52.300Yes, the riding has changed quite a bit since then.
00:06:55.160But in a by-election, really anything can happen
00:06:57.700unless it's one of the safest of safe seats.
00:07:01.360So I hope that the media starts asking Mark Carney,
00:07:05.560does this say something about your leadership?
00:07:07.580is your leadership at risk do you think that you can lead having people leaving on you because of
00:07:13.980course what i'm pointing to is the media loves to do this to conservative party leader pure polyam
00:07:20.220you have people who cross the floor and join the liberals many of them for very obviously petty
00:07:25.800reasons and it turns into a is just is pure poly have done like narrative can pure polyam lead his
00:07:34.200party into the next election? Does he have the confidence of his supporters now that Michael
00:07:40.580Ma has left? The whole thing was completely ridiculous. But of course, the media is not0.98
00:07:45.200going to ask any questions about Mark Carney. If anything, they're going to dog Stephen Gilbeau
00:07:50.700and make this like a why aren't you being a team player and fighting for Canada elbows up
00:07:55.460sort of a thing. And yeah, and probably try and bury this as fast as possible. But hopefully it
00:08:01.340gives a boost to the NDP and the Greens because Stephen Gilbeau is going to be a free agent and
00:08:05.800maybe one of them can entice him over to joining their parties in order to have more resources to
