The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney opposes Poilievre's plan to keep violent criminals locked up!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.

00:00:02.780 So we have crime becoming a big wedge issue in the 2025 federal election in Canada,

00:00:09.060 in part because the Liberals don't take it seriously.

00:00:13.140 Pure poly of the Conservatives saying something sensible on crime

00:00:16.400 has somehow turned into something that the Liberals think is very controversial,

00:00:21.400 because they may want criminals locked up despite what the courts say.

00:00:26.160 I am 100% fine with pure poly of the Conservatives using the notwithstanding clause

00:00:32.340 in order to enforce mandatory minimums.

00:00:35.160 There is nothing against the Charter with mandatory minimums,

00:00:38.740 so we should be using the notwithstanding clause in order to enforce them if the courts get in the way.

00:00:44.980 I want to cut over to a clip of poly of talking about this in just a second.

00:00:48.660 I want to then jump over to what Mark Carney's response to all this is,

00:00:52.460 and then jump back over to pure poly of.

00:00:54.420 But before I get into it, guys, make sure to like this video,

00:00:57.600 subscribe to the channel if you're not yet a subscriber,

00:00:59.960 and leave a comment on the topic of the day.

00:01:02.780 What do you think about the use of the notwithstanding clause?

00:01:05.320 Where is it appropriate? Where do you think it's not appropriate?

00:01:08.260 But now, without further ado, here is pure poly of answering a journalist's question

00:01:12.480 about the use of the notwithstanding clause in reference to crime.

00:01:16.300 Merci, on passe à la prochaine question.

00:01:17.640 The question was, will you use it for other things?

00:01:23.780 And the answer is, we will only use Section 33 to fight crime.

00:01:30.460 We will only use it to end the liberal crime wave,

00:01:33.860 which they have unleashed with catch-and-release, hug-a-thug laws.

00:01:37.760 We will reverse all of those laws, and we will bring in the biggest crime crackdown

00:01:43.580 in Canadian history to protect the constitutional charter rights of Canadians

00:01:50.120 to life, liberty, and security of the person.

00:01:54.940 Merci. On passe à la dernière question.

00:01:56.420 I should just say one last thing, because after the last liberal decade

00:02:01.420 of skyrocketing crime and costs of living, we cannot afford a fourth term.

00:02:09.300 We need a change, a change with a new conservative government

00:02:14.220 so you can have food that you afford, homes you can afford,

00:02:18.000 streets that you're safe on, and a paycheck that grows faster than your cost of living.

00:02:21.920 Thank you.

00:02:22.760 Hi, Mr. Pauly. I'm Tariq, 3 Global News.

00:02:24.880 Is there an example of when a mass murderer has been set free?

00:02:29.640 Does the parole board not usually rule against that?

00:02:33.400 Well, the problem is that the ruling just happened in 2022.

00:02:41.500 So the clock started ticking on these cases in that year.

00:02:47.820 So what we will see is 25 years forward, these offenders will be eligible for parole.

00:02:53.820 And when you kill six people, you should never be eligible for parole.

00:03:01.960 You should never be able to force the families of the victims to have to come and testify at a parole hearing

00:03:07.740 so that they relive the hell that you've exacted on them.

00:03:12.820 I like how many questions he's getting from the media on this specific topic,

00:03:17.340 as if what he is saying is somehow like, you know, a little beyond the pale.

00:03:21.520 I can't believe he would say something like this.

00:03:23.720 I need to bring up the funniest reaction to it before I cut over to Mark Carney.

00:03:27.720 Rachel Gilmore reacted to this saying, whoa, Paulyov's announcement today,

00:03:33.180 he would invoke the notwithstanding clause to overturn a Supreme Court ruling and make sure multiple murderers die in prison.

00:03:40.180 This would make him the first prime minister to override the charter using the notwithstanding clause.

00:03:44.920 And over time, it's been made very clear that Rachel Gilmore was not saying this because it was just big news or something like that.

00:03:52.840 She was saying this because she openly opposes the use of the notwithstanding clause to keep murderers locked up,

00:03:59.700 as if that is a big tragedy that murderers will not be able to get out in their lifetimes. 0.96

00:04:05.020 Even then, I support the use of the notwithstanding clause in order to overturn all these stupid bail rulings from judges, 0.95

00:04:13.820 letting multiple-time violent offenders just out of jail before their trial, 0.97

00:04:18.220 even though they've repeatedly shown that they cannot handle it.

00:04:21.880 Here is the purpose of jail and the criminal justice system.

00:04:25.380 It is to protect the public.

00:04:27.100 If you are dangerous, if you are incapable of staying out of trouble pre-trial,

00:04:32.280 you should not get out pre-trial.

00:04:33.800 But we have this ridiculous system where if the prosecution wants to keep dangerous criminals

00:04:40.320 or repeat offenders in prison or jail before trial,

00:04:46.360 they need to literally bend over backwards to make an argument in front of a judge

00:04:51.040 in which if it's a very liberal judge, they'll just dismiss it and say that the guy who stabbed somebody

00:04:56.020 can go back out in the streets and we'll just hope that he actually shows up for his trial. 0.52

00:04:59.560 It's ridiculous, which means that prosecutors don't even bother at this point because it's such a waste

00:05:06.080 of time. Now I want to jump over to Mark Carney's reaction is absolutely insane that he thinks that this is 0.71

00:05:14.600 somehow a good angle of attack on Polyev that, oh my goodness, Polyev is going to use the notwithstanding

00:05:19.860 clause. Guys, this is like dictatorship.

00:05:22.060 Chair Polyev announced today he would use the notwithstanding clause to push through his tough-on-crime

00:05:28.580 agenda. Is there any case you'd invoke the clause to override the Charter?

00:05:31.780 I think this is a very dangerous step. We have a Charter of Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in this country

00:05:41.760 and it's the responsibility, in my view, of the Prime Minister, of the Government of Canada to defend

00:05:49.620 that Charter, those fundamental rights and responsibilities and liberties that Canadians enjoy.

00:05:55.920 The guy supported the use of the Emergencies Act to suspend Canadians' charter rights. What is he talking about?

00:06:05.220 This is a very dangerous step. Locking up criminals, apparently actual criminals, is the dangerous step here.

00:06:11.060 Not lockdowns, not mandates, not the Emergency Act use and freezing bank accounts.

00:06:16.000 It's when we're making sure that Paul Bernardo doesn't get to come up in front of bail hearings or parole hearings anymore.

00:06:23.300 That's when it becomes dangerous.

00:06:24.520 The politicizing certain issues with respect to fundamental rights is a slippery slope that leads to further politicization.

00:06:40.200 And I understand if I was correctly briefed, it won't surprise you I didn't watch Mr. Polyev's press conference,

00:06:50.120 but if I was correctly briefed, that it relates to issues of heinous crimes and murderers.

00:06:58.020 You know...

00:06:59.120 So he even knows that we're talking about heinous crimes and murderers not being allowed parole,

00:07:06.540 and he is still saying it's a dangerous, it's a dangerous precedent that Polyev is setting.

00:07:12.380 So he's fully aware of what he's speaking on, and he still thinks this is dangerous.

00:07:17.060 I think that the notwithstanding clause should be even used more liberally than what Polyev is talking about.

00:07:22.300 I think any person who commits a violent offense, unless disputed, if it's on camera, they should not be let out of jail pre-trial.

00:07:30.800 Especially if it's a public offense against a stranger.

00:07:33.520 Because if someone's attacking a random stranger, do you think that that person's not going to attack somebody else if you let them out before trial?

00:07:40.320 Especially because they know they're probably going to get locked up.

00:07:42.540 They might just do whatever the heck they want at that point.

00:07:44.600 Being tough on crime, and being tough starts with being smart on crime.

00:07:50.180 And it includes being tough on guns and gun violence.

00:07:54.900 And I know that, with regret, that Mr. Polyev has voted against every single gun control measure

00:08:03.260 during his very long career as a career politician and member of the House of Commons.

00:08:08.940 I think it's over 200 times.

00:08:10.920 Because, yes, because it is.

00:08:12.940 It is Farmer Brown's shotgun that is the problem.

00:08:16.640 Not the fact that because the liberals have not secured the border over 10 years,

00:08:20.980 and in fact they actually keep passing laws to lower offenses for carrying actual illegally obtained guns,

00:08:27.160 that we have gun violence everywhere.

00:08:29.060 If we were locking people up, if we were not appointing liberal judges all over the place

00:08:34.180 who don't like locking up criminals, we wouldn't have this problem.

00:08:37.040 But the liberals would rather disarm people who have never committed an offense in their lives,

00:08:42.420 never misused firearms in the past.

00:08:47.020 They are the ones who are now going to have to be punished

00:08:50.120 because a bunch of Somali gang members are shooting each other up the streets of Toronto.

00:08:55.480 Make it make sense.

00:08:56.840 They know it doesn't make sense. 1.00

00:08:58.160 This is just a stupid wedge issue. 1.00

00:09:00.160 And I hope that Polly at the debates absolutely smacks them for this, 1.00

00:09:04.380 that they have been letting gangsters run around, shooting each other without cracking down on them,

00:09:08.940 and in fact making it easier for those people to operate while going after people

00:09:12.740 who are literally one-third as likely to commit a violent offense as the average person in Canada.

00:09:17.760 Gun owners because you lose your gun license if you commit a violent crime, 0.53

00:09:21.640 or I think even certain other, like if you shoplift, you would lose your gun, I believe.

00:09:25.960 I think that would be a criminal offense worthy of getting your gun license pulled.

00:09:31.100 They don't commit criminal offenses. 0.98

00:09:32.800 This would be really stupid to when you lose so many privileges by doing it.

00:09:37.920 But yeah, now I want to jump back over to Pierre Polyev, 0.91

00:09:41.400 because even though these are the same press conferences,

00:09:43.880 they can have been kind of dueling back and forth,

00:09:45.920 knowing each other's talking points on these issues,

00:09:47.980 and he probably have responded to the sort of perspective on crime that Mark Carney has.

00:09:52.900 And Mark Carney has said he will not change any of the catch-and-release liberal laws.

00:09:58.200 Like so many elites who don't have to feel the effects of their policies, he agrees with them.

00:10:04.240 He lives in a protected neighborhood.

00:10:06.580 He is surrounded by security.

00:10:09.020 He spent most of his adult life not even living in Canada.

00:10:11.940 He has no idea what it's like to feel endangered in his community.

00:10:15.580 With Mark Carney, you will get four more years of the same out-of-touch liberal catch-and-release laws

00:10:22.360 that have caused the problem in the first place.

00:10:24.820 So the question is, do I respect Supreme Court decisions?

00:10:29.020 The answer is yes.

00:10:31.040 And I also respect the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,

00:10:34.140 which guarantees life, liberty, and the security of the person to every single Canadian.

00:10:41.080 That right has been trampled on by the Liberals' catch-and-release laws

00:10:48.000 that have unleashed crime and chaos in our communities.

00:10:52.360 And I will use Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms

00:10:58.520 to put an end to the liberal crime and drug wave

00:11:03.800 and to protect law-abiding Canadians against the dangers

00:11:09.920 that are spreading everywhere in our streets.

00:11:12.860 I would be suggesting to Polyev that in a debate, this is a great...

00:11:17.520 The thing is that it might not be true to most people,

00:11:24.560 but people living in those sort of mixed suburban-urban ridings

00:11:29.100 that the Conservatives need to be able to win this election,

00:11:32.180 hitting on crime heavily will move a lot of voters.

00:11:35.780 And I think going after Carney as an out-of-touch liberal elite

00:11:38.940 who doesn't actually have to suffer with the consequences

00:11:41.920 of his own bad policies and actions is a great thing to do.

00:11:45.200 That this man doesn't matter if he crashes the economy, he will be fine.

00:11:49.060 Whereas Polyev actually has grown up and still lives in a world 1.00

00:11:53.340 where if the economy goes south, it could actually affect his own standard of living.

00:11:58.380 You know, he probably has had a good amount of savings over time,

00:12:01.480 having been an elected official for quite a length of time.

00:12:05.100 But there's a difference between Polyev maybe having millions of dollars

00:12:09.040 and Carney having tens of millions of dollars, if not like $100 million.

00:12:13.740 That the man should be slapped at for wanting to keep around the Trudeau-era policies

00:12:19.060 that have made people's lives worse because it doesn't really seem to be a big deal to him

00:12:23.520 because it's never affected him.

00:12:25.120 It's not that things have to affect you personally for you to take it seriously,

00:12:28.680 but it just demonstrates how out-of-touch a person Carney is.

00:12:32.080 If it doesn't affect him personally, it seems like he doesn't take it seriously.

00:12:35.860 So anyways, that's it for this video, guys.

00:12:38.680 I do hope that the Conservatives really hone in on this.

00:12:42.000 In fact, I could have brought up the stats, but I know you guys don't want me

00:12:45.140 to be looking at small numbers on charts.

00:12:48.300 Crime in Canada since 2015 has literally gone up.

00:12:51.860 Violent crime has gone up 30% across the country.

00:12:54.580 In provinces like BC, it's gone up 50% in part because of the combination of terrible policies

00:12:59.540 from the federal liberals and the BC NDP.

00:13:02.100 This is such a big issue.

00:13:03.660 In Ontario, I think crime's up.

00:13:05.420 Violent crime's up like 40%.

00:13:06.980 Shoplifting's up 30%.

00:13:08.720 This is a major, major sore point for the liberals, and they are literally unwilling

00:13:13.700 to even change a thing.

00:13:15.020 They're wanting to hire more cops, crack down more on guns, but it's literally taking the

00:13:19.240 same policies they already had, microwaving them, and then just doing them more.

00:13:23.040 That is literally it.

00:13:24.480 So that should be it for me today, guys.

00:13:26.740 Saying that for the second time because I end up trailing off.

00:13:29.040 Make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, do all that great

00:13:33.560 stuff, and I'll see you guys in another video.

00:13:36.360 I'm going to probably go door knocking for Barbara Ball shortly here, just making sure

00:13:40.420 that I have content to put out throughout the day while I'm talking to liberals and conservatives

00:13:45.020 at the doors.
