Summary

Wyatt Claypool breaks down what's going on in the race between Mark Carney and Barbara Ball, the two Liberal candidates in the upcoming election in the riding of Nepean-Nepean, and why it's not just bad people destroying each other's lawn signs, it's the PM's campaign workers.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:03.240 Doubtlessly in every election that's ever been held ever,
00:00:07.520 lawn signs and different signage for the political candidates are destroyed by bad actors.
00:00:13.300 But in the writing of Nepean, where Mark Carney is running himself as the Liberal candidate,
00:00:19.460 it's been his campaign specifically that has been destroying his opponent Barbara Ball's signs.
00:00:25.020 Barbara Ball's campaign has evidence Mark Carney's actual campaign workers are the ones taking down their signs.
00:00:32.460 Usually it just gets blamed on random bad actors.
00:00:36.200 But in this case, it's actually the people working for the Prime Minister's campaigns
00:00:40.860 who are going around trashing signs and then reusing wooden stakes from them to put up their own signs.
00:00:47.940 This is an incredible video that Barbara Ball just posted last night.
00:00:52.260 I'm going to show it to you in just a second. Before I get into it, guys,
00:00:55.540 if you like my coverage of the Canadian federal election, make sure to like this video,
00:01:00.480 subscribe to the channel, keep up with the video coverage.
00:01:04.160 About half of people usually aren't subscribers.
00:01:06.540 And also leave a comment. It really helps us in the algorithm.
00:01:09.220 I like to scroll through a few times to see what people are saying about the topic of the day.
00:01:13.940 But now, without further ado, let's jump into this video that Barbara Ball's campaign posted last night.
00:01:19.960 Hello, Nepean. It's Barbara Ball, your Conservative candidate.
00:01:24.480 In a democracy, the right to free speech is sacred.
00:01:28.500 It's common knowledge that the Barbara Ball team is very organized.
00:01:32.740 Our signs were up very early in the campaign.
00:01:35.380 Many of our wooden stakes are marked with blue tops and NCA for Nepean Conservative Association written on them.
00:01:42.960 Now, we are discovering that hundreds of our signs are missing.
00:01:46.740 We have found many of our signs in the garbage.
00:01:49.000 We have also discovered empty holes and, in other instances,
00:01:52.960 wooden stakes with blue tips and NCA written on them, bearing my opponent's red sign.
00:02:00.600 When people resort to criminal behavior, they are undermining the democratic process itself.
00:02:06.880 This is unacceptable.
00:02:08.320 Our community deserves better.
00:02:11.160 We must stand united against such actions which tarnish the democratic ideals that we hold dear.
00:02:18.900 It's just absolutely pathetic.
00:02:20.540 You think that if you're running as prime minister,
00:02:22.880 you already have a lot of structural advantages from having the name recognition of being the leader of the country running in the riding.
00:02:31.440 But it wasn't enough.
00:02:32.580 We've already seen, previously, when Barbara Ball would put up her sign,
00:02:37.140 they would try and surround her signs with Mark Carney signs,
00:02:40.060 which is a bit of an indication that private individuals are not actually requesting Mark Carney liberal signs.
00:02:46.420 If you have so many left over, you can just dump 30 of them in one little, like, you know, intersection island to cover up Barbara Ball signs.
00:02:54.840 I am actually going to be going out to the Ottawa area to help in the Nepean and Kanata ridings to make sure that Mark Carney doesn't actually win a seat.
00:03:04.780 I think there is actually a decent chance that there's going to be backlash in that riding against Carney becoming the candidate
00:03:10.580 because he just threw out Chandra Aria as the liberal with no good reason given.
00:03:16.680 People are trying to spread rumors it's because Chandra Aria was involved in foreign interference.
00:03:20.520 Maybe that's true. I don't know.
00:03:23.660 But also, it doesn't matter because the liberals don't care about foreign interference,
00:03:28.360 which is why they were defending Paul Chang, saying that Joe Tay, a conservative candidate in Don Valley North,
00:03:35.300 should be, like, kidnapped, brought to the Chinese consulate for a massive bounty on his head.
00:03:39.720 And then, when they finally did replace Paul Chang after defending him for, like, two days,
00:03:45.640 they have now replaced him with another former police officer who also has CCP connections in the exact same way that Paul Chang did.
00:03:55.460 These people do not care about foreign interference.
00:03:57.720 And that's why, though, a lot of people are mad in the Nepean riding because it was just purely arbitrary that they got rid of their MP,
00:04:05.440 who was the MP since 2015, just so Mark Carney could have an easy seat around the Ottawa area.
00:04:11.040 But I don't actually think it's going to be that easy.
00:04:13.100 In the polls, it had actually shown that that was going to be an easy flip riding for the Conservatives as of four months ago.
00:04:19.840 Obviously, the polls have shifted, but that means it's shifted from an easy Conservative pickup to a real knife fight.
00:04:26.360 Now, I just want to jump over to something else, and that is Mark Carney absolutely not knowing Canadians at all.
00:04:36.220 He is so in a left-wing bubble that when this reporter asks him about guaranteeing medical transition services for transgender people,
00:04:46.080 he doesn't dodge, which he should.
00:04:48.080 He just goes fully into, oh, 100%, this is a top priority for me,
00:04:51.460 making sure we can allow people who are minors to medically gender transition.
00:04:58.080 By the way, isn't it kind of fantastic that he is in, I believe, this might be Alberta.
00:05:04.000 Yeah, I think he's in Alberta here, Saskatchewan, in front of workers who work real hands-on tough jobs in, I believe, the forestry sector.
00:05:12.860 And he is now going to take questions about how we need to make it a right for people who are not adults
00:05:18.940 to be able to medically transition, take puberty blockers, and the rest.
00:05:22.740 Mr. Carney, your platform hasn't said anything about LGBTQ Canadians.
00:05:27.720 We're here in Alberta, where the province wants to restrict health care for transgender people,
00:05:32.480 and they want the Canada Health Act to defend their access to gender-affirming care.
00:05:37.000 Again, what he's talking about when he says transgender people, he's talking about children.
00:05:44.200 This guy thinks that it's a travesty if children cannot medically transition in Alberta.
00:05:50.640 The responsible position that people who are not adults should not be able to make adult decisions
00:05:56.380 about how they want to alter their bodies, how they want to, like, block their own puberty development.
00:06:03.280 This is just insane.
00:06:04.320 And Mark Carney's about to take it at face value here.
00:06:06.520 Would you do that?
00:06:08.200 And what is your party going to do about the backsliding that we're seeing for gender and sexual minorities?
00:06:14.160 You know, thank you.
00:06:15.440 Thank you for the question, Dylan.
00:06:16.600 Let me start at a fundamental point, which is, you know, Canada is a mosaic.
00:06:24.880 We are all Canadians, but we all have different identities and distinctions.
00:06:28.960 And one of the great strengths of this country is recognizing that people can be who they are.
00:06:36.920 They can love who they love.
00:06:38.420 They can live where they want to live.
00:06:40.020 And it's fundamentally important that the federal government is the defender of those rights,
00:06:46.780 defender of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
00:06:48.800 And access to health care in Canada is not a business.
00:06:55.140 It is a fundamental right.
00:06:57.260 And we will defend it for all Canadians, for all Canadians, without exception.
00:07:04.220 So it's not a right to be able to transition, especially when you're a child and cannot consent to that kind of procedure.
00:07:12.360 My goodness, imagine being one of those union workers who works in, like, the lumber industry or whatever, like, plant they were in.
00:07:19.440 Imagine being one of those people, having to stand behind Mark Carney while he says that dribble.
00:07:25.200 This man, by the way, was in favor of vaccine mandates.
00:07:28.720 This man was against freedom when it was truckers protesting mandates and wanting to actually be able to work their jobs
00:07:35.560 without the government stopping them at ports of entry and preventing them from working.
00:07:39.760 That was bad freedom.
00:07:41.400 When it's good freedom, it's the government spending money on children being able to gender transition.
00:07:47.400 This stuff needs to be way more well-known.
00:07:50.840 Like, people need to be confronted who want to vote liberal right now and say,
00:07:55.040 sorry, but you're cool with this?
00:07:57.420 This is a good position to you that children should have a right to medically transition
00:08:05.320 and that he will go after the province of Alberta for passing a law that is literally 80% popular in Canada.
00:08:12.820 Have you ever seen the parental right in consent polling in different provinces?
00:08:18.400 In Alberta, it was like 82% of people.
00:08:20.840 It may have been like 85%.
00:08:22.780 And obviously, that is crossing boundaries between UCP voters and Alberta NDP voters,
00:08:28.480 Alberta Party voters, Greens.
00:08:30.560 Those, all those people are in favor of just, of, like, leaving kids to be kids until they are adults.
00:08:38.260 He's, he's also had the weirdest lines ever when it comes to a lot of, uh, a lot of issues that have been popping up recently.
00:08:47.280 He, he, I'm going to be talking about this in another video, but recently he's now gone after the Globe and Mail
00:08:53.540 as somehow being some sort of fake news network because they reported on his ties to the CCP
00:08:59.460 and it very quickly came out that he's just lying.
00:09:02.440 This is Globe and Mail.
00:09:03.520 So, um, my colleagues have a story today, um, about, uh, a Liberal candidate's relations with China-friendly groups
00:09:12.380 and a meeting that you also held with a pro-Beijing group.
00:09:15.440 So, my question is, why did you meet with this pro-Beijing group, uh, Jiangsu Commerce Council of Canada?
00:09:20.660 And is the party okay with the fact that Liberal candidate Peter Yan has been so, uh, close with the Chinese consulate
00:09:27.520 and China-friendly groups, given the public inquiry into foreign interference, says that this is a tactic China uses to exert influence.
00:09:34.080 Okay, well, I'm sorry, but, uh, you can't believe everything you read in the Globe and Mail.
00:09:37.520 Uh, so, he's acting like it's InfoWars.
00:09:40.800 It's the Globe and Mail.
00:09:42.560 It's a Liberal outlet who will move heaven and earth to not report negative stuff about the Liberals unless it's the most obvious story on the planet.
00:09:51.080 Even when they were talking about pro-Beijing groups tied to the government trying to pump up Carney,
00:09:57.000 they even made the headline slightly deceiving so people would actually think they're anti-Carny.
00:10:01.560 They were like, the pro-Beijing groups are targeting Carney in new viral marketing or new marketing scheme on WeChat.
00:10:08.360 And it's like, when they use the word targeting, it makes it sound like they don't like Carney,
00:10:12.120 when in fact, the entire story was that they're trying to help Carney and they're targeting his great resume or whatever.
00:10:18.680 It's like the most deep pull of a quote out of context to make it sound like somehow he's being oppressed,
00:10:25.880 when in fact, that word was being used in the context of how they were promoting them.
00:10:29.960 Well, in your question, and I guess in the article in question, uh, you said I had a meeting with, uh,
00:10:36.280 whatever your term was, uh, Beijing group.
00:10:38.440 I've never heard of this group.
00:10:39.960 Okay.
00:10:40.440 Never heard of this group.
00:10:41.800 Certainly didn't have a set up meeting with this group.
00:10:45.000 Full stop.
00:10:45.560 So check your sources before you write things like that.
00:10:49.160 Let's just move on right now.
00:10:50.520 So what, what's the source?
00:10:52.440 Here's him literally taking a photo with the guy earlier this year.
00:10:56.920 And by the way, that company's website has gushing praise over how great of a meeting it was.
00:11:03.400 A long meeting that they had with Mark Carney.
00:11:06.120 There's no way he didn't know that he was around a group like this.
00:11:09.240 And if he didn't, he shouldn't be denying it like this,
00:11:11.960 as if he just knows that he didn't meet with one of them.
00:11:14.360 You probably know when you've been engaging with a CCP front group, because they are probably
00:11:19.800 having a meeting about how we need to grow closer to China, when the vast majority of Chinese
00:11:24.760 Canadians are very anti CCP.
00:11:27.160 It's very easy to tell the difference.
00:11:29.560 Mark Carney knows the difference.
00:11:31.560 It's called lying.
00:11:33.480 He is lying because he's assuming that people still care so much about the Trump issue that
00:11:38.440 he can do and say whatever he wants, and nobody's really going to catch up to it.
00:11:42.920 I think that that is just not accurate.
00:11:45.960 I think that, again, the election was really good this past week now for Mark Carney because
00:11:51.880 of the Liberation Day tariffs.
00:11:53.160 But now that the tariffs are just gone, it's really difficult for that issue of Trump and
00:11:58.600 tariffs to cover over just the sheer amount of crazy garbage that Mark Carney has been saying,
00:12:03.560 just the obvious lies.
00:12:05.400 Him basically taking a pro Hamas boycott against Israel position on that conflict,
00:12:11.960 him going off and just like endorsing every single stupid policy idea that Justin Trudeau
00:12:17.560 ever pitched.
00:12:18.440 There's not an inch of difference between Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney at this point.
00:12:23.400 And I hope that the conservatives basically just play on repeat both the fact that Trump
00:12:28.440 thinks he's a complete weakling, as well as every single time he says something and then
00:12:33.720 playing it off and saying, didn't literally Trudeau say this exact same thing?
00:12:37.560 Because nothing's changed.
00:12:39.240 Nothing's changed.
00:12:39.880 It's like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
00:12:42.600 Mark Carney is Kamala Harris in this scenario, and it feels like within the Liberal Party,
00:12:47.880 he is not allowed to actually walk away from the Liberal Party's policies.
00:12:52.120 But unlike in the situation in the US where Joe Biden wouldn't let Kamala Harris walk away
00:12:57.240 from his policies, because if you're going to take the nomination away from me,
00:13:00.120 you're at least not going to trash me in public. In this case, I actually think it's because
00:13:05.320 Carney's instincts are actually to go even more left than he currently is.
00:13:09.080 So other than the carbon tax move, which was just trying to steal the gravitas of the conservatives
00:13:14.280 for a second, everything he's been pitching has been as bad, if not worse than Trudeau.
00:13:20.200 He's now in favor of full gun confiscations, and he said that he's going to prevent people
00:13:26.040 with criminal records from owning and using firearms. It's like, wow, that's already true.
00:13:32.760 That's already how it works, and that's not new. That's how it's worked since like the 1930s, probably,
00:13:39.880 that if you're, you know, a violent offender, you're not allowed to, you know, own a shotgun.
00:13:45.160 Anyway, so that should be it for this video, guys. I will be back later today with something else.
00:13:50.840 Thanks for your viewership. Make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment.
00:13:55.080 I do want to make a more fulsome video at some point on the China issue. I've been hoping to have
00:14:00.040 Sam Cooper on. I've actually wanted to talk a bit about the tariff issue and how America sees Canada.
00:14:05.960 I was going to have John Bolton on for that. I'm going to have to reach out again. I did get
00:14:09.480 confirmations from both that they can come on the show, but I'm going to have to kind of like circle
00:14:13.720 back and make sure that's all still true because man, my schedule is crazy busy for almost no reason
00:14:19.800 many days. So thanks for watching the show. We'll be back later. I know no doubt in a few days or so,
00:14:27.080 we're going to see another polling shift occur. We just got through the really bad face of the
00:14:32.200 tariffs where there was going to be the rally around the flag and the current government effect
00:14:36.920 in Canada. And now that that issue is gone, I actually could see the Trump issue falling into
00:14:42.360 a distant second place in this election to the economy or even housing, and it might even fall
00:14:48.120 into third. So that's it for me today, guys. See you later.
