00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.080 Right now, Prime Minister Mark Carney is at risk of splitting the Liberal Party
00:00:10.420 over his extremely incoherent positions on foreign policy issues. This has been going on for quite a
00:00:17.640 while now, but his flip-flopping on Iran has been so egregious that even the Liberal Party caucus
00:00:24.320 is demanding answers from Mark Carney. This just came out from the CBC last night. It says,
00:00:31.320 Liberal MPs to hold call Friday as caucus raises concerns about Carney's shifting Iran position.
00:00:37.960 Now, it's not just shifting. I think the CBC really underplays what Carney has been doing.
00:00:43.840 He has been flip-flopping from one end of the issue to the other. He didn't just start off
00:00:49.980 with one position, and it shifted in its intensity a little bit. He went from one extreme to the other,
00:00:57.020 although I wouldn't call one the extreme. One is the correct position, and one is the absolute wrong
00:01:01.480 position. Carney started out on Iran by supporting the United States and Israel, striking the Islamic 0.76
00:01:08.120 Republic as he should. It's the correct position. You know, the Ayatollah had just been killing 35,000 1.00
00:01:15.580 of his own people and has been funding terrorism for decades. There was absolutely a good reason 0.99
00:01:21.800 to strike them, and all Canada had to do there was say, we support them. And then 48 hours later,
00:01:28.100 because there are so many Liberal MPs who started condemning the United States and Israel,
00:01:33.780 Carney then flip-flops and says, oh, international law needs to be respected, and the United States and
00:01:39.180 Israel didn't get clearance from the UN for any of this, and this is, you know, this is not something
00:01:44.260 that we, that Western countries should be doing, and this is all bad. And then 48 hours after that,
00:01:51.060 he then flip-flops back to his original position, but an even more intense version, where he is now
00:01:57.280 saying that not only does Canada support the United States and Israel and Iran cannot get a nuclear
00:02:02.680 nuclear program, but Canada and our military may join in on the attacks. Like, I'm a more hawkish guy
00:02:12.320 on foreign policy, but even I was thinking, like, okay, well, settle down, Carney. One, you haven't even
00:02:17.660 rebuilt the military yet. I'm not sure what the heck we would be even sending into this conflict.
00:02:23.180 But, like, maybe pump the brakes a little bit, cowboy. But this is only going to hurt Carney more,
00:02:29.760 because right now we have the NDP knowing that this is an issue that the liberals are absolutely
00:02:36.520 vulnerable on, because although foreign policy doesn't drive a lot of votes, there's probably
00:02:41.540 up to, I would estimate, 3 to 8 percent of the liberal party that this issue could actually cause
00:02:49.180 to go leave and vote for a different party, and it's not all in one direction here. As you can see,
00:02:54.880 the person who is most likely right now to become the new NDP leader, Avi Lewis, wants to go after
00:03:01.380 Carney on this issue. This new CBC headline from just over an hour ago says, NDP leader hopeful Avi
00:03:07.900 Lewis calls Carney Iran response incoherent. And they are going to be slamming them as basically
00:03:13.820 being puppets of the Americans, puppets of Donald Trump for supporting him. Now, that's not what's
00:03:19.780 going on. It's in fact correct to be supporting the Americans in this attack. But Carney has done 0.83
00:03:25.520 this in such a way that nobody likes what he's doing. If you supported the United States and
00:03:33.080 Israel attacking Iran and trying to end the slaughter of the Iranian people, their funding 0.97
00:03:38.340 of terrorism and their nuclear program, you're annoyed that he then shifted on you, and you're
00:03:43.100 probably more likely to vote for the conservatives after all this. And if you were against the strikes
00:03:47.780 on Iran, you're really ticked off because he took the wrong position, then in your mind took the
00:03:53.620 right position, and then flipped back to the wrong position, plus being even more wrong. I'm not saying
00:03:59.580 it's the wrong position, but if you're on the progressive left, you think it's the wrong position.
00:04:03.620 That's even worse than just sticking with the original one, because he ticked them off by having
00:04:08.900 the wrong one first, then took the right one, then slapped them across the face, and then changed all the
00:04:13.060 way back. I don't know what he's trying to accomplish here. But this is what Carney has done on many
00:04:19.500 issues. He condemned the capture of Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan dictator. And then he said, well, no,
00:04:27.860 he is a bad guy, but we should be following international law. And it's good that he can no
00:04:32.160 longer oppress the Venezuelan people. And then that's how he ended that issue. He took the wrong
00:04:37.860 position, and then he had to severely soften it, although he still wasn't right on that. And then it opened
00:04:43.080 up the door for the NDP to attack him as basically being badgered by the Americans and
00:04:47.940 dissaporting them. And then on China, he originally said that China was our biggest national security 0.85
00:04:53.420 threat, which it is. That is correct. And now he's basically saying, don't worry, China's our big 0.95
00:04:59.360 brother, and we should respect them. In fact, we should ramp up trade with them as we try and ramp down
00:05:04.020 trade with the United States. That is taking off a lot of people and sending them to the political
00:05:09.020 right to go join the Conservative Party. This is really weird, because usually foreign policy is a
00:05:16.280 complete nothing burger in Canadian politics. But Carney's turning it, I guess, into a something
00:05:21.700 burger by not being able to keep a coherent position. This is why I sometimes get very frustrated
00:05:28.260 with the Conservatives, because if they could just move Carney off of the trade issue, which he
00:05:33.540 actually does well on right now, they can still beat him on that issue. I like Polyev's new position
00:05:38.060 on it, offering as much help to Carney as possible, and touring around the world and all the same
00:05:42.540 places that Carney went, but making the stronger pitch to want to export oil and gas and wanting to
00:05:47.900 pair up and unite against China. He's doing really well on that. But the Conservatives need to try and 0.97
00:05:54.500 push Carney onto anything but the trade issue with the United States, because he sucks on everything else. 0.51
00:06:01.300 The only thing that Carney can do well is basically fear monger against the United States on trade.
00:06:08.520 He can sign meaningless agreements and look professional while doing it, and announce he's
00:06:12.980 going to fast track projects he's not actually fast tracking because they're basically already done.
00:06:17.580 That's all he can do. If you can get Carney to stop doing those things, if you can shift him from
00:06:22.720 those issues to something else, you can beat him. Mark Carney, to put it mildly, is not Justin Trudeau.
00:06:30.460 That doesn't mean he's good. In many ways, he's worse than Trudeau. He's better than Trudeau in other
00:06:35.120 ways, but there is not a lot of people who hate Mark Carney in the general public. Now, you can say
00:06:42.380 in the comments, well, I hate Mark Carney. I hate him worse than Justin Trudeau. Walk outside. People
00:06:47.800 don't hate Carney. That doesn't mean they love him and will keep voting liberal forever. There's just not
00:06:52.540 that visceral hatred for him. If the Conservatives are to beat Mark Carney, they have to shift him onto
00:06:59.200 a position that he is not popular on. Mark Carney is not popular on affordability. He is not popular
00:07:06.540 when it comes to foreign policy. He is not popular on the Indigenous issue. He just signed this insane
00:07:14.180 Musqueam land deal. The Conservatives, Pierre Polyev, needs to study what Dallas Brody and 1BC are doing
00:07:21.700 in British Columbia. They could say, oh, that's a small party. It's only one MLA. It's a small party
00:07:26.720 with one MLA. That's around eight or nine points in the polls. You don't get to that through just pure
00:07:31.940 social media momentum off of a couple statements. That is real, concrete support. And I know because I
00:07:38.700 work for 1BC and we can do a town hall of over 200 people no matter what town we are in. The town
00:07:45.720 could have 200 people in it and we would somehow get 200 people to show up. That is how popular her
00:07:51.540 positions are opposing things like undrip drippa and all of these land transfers. Polyev should run on
00:07:57.900 that. He should run on a big tax cut because guess what? If you're running on a big tax cut and your
00:08:03.980 opponent isn't, the people of Canada will see that as him opposing a big tax cut. You have to force him
00:08:11.640 into these unwinnable situations because at the end of the day, he is a big spending liberal who will
00:08:17.140 never do anything for people on affordability. He'll throw money at them, but we know that that's
00:08:21.540 not actually how you solve one of these problems. You have to offer deep deregulation, deep tax cuts,
00:08:28.100 20% across every personal income bracket, 20% on corporate taxes, and take a point off the GST just
00:08:35.760 for good measure. You run on that, you'll get people excited because Polyev, when he was running
00:08:41.080 against Justin Trudeau, and I said this in a previous video, and I don't blame him. This isn't, he didn't
00:08:45.880 do anything wrong, but he was, from my perspective, playing on easy mode because everyone hated Trudeau so
00:08:53.520 much. Polyev didn't even have to be good. He just had to not be Trudeau. And in a certain sense, I
00:08:58.320 don't think a lot of Canadians even know who Pierre Polyev is because they just knew he wasn't the
00:09:03.780 Trudeau guy. But with Mark Carney around, who people don't hate, they don't really, they don't need an
00:09:08.720 anti-Carney. They're not looking for the anti-Carney. They're looking for someone who will solve the
00:09:13.560 problems. And that's why you need a very bold agenda in order to pitch yourself as the guy who can
00:09:19.700 solve the problems. Demonstrate how weak Carney is by running on something bolder and making what
00:09:25.940 he's doing look pathetic by contrast. This is where I actually do give Pierre Polyev and the
00:09:30.860 Conservatives a lot of credit on trade. Polyev's new shift on trade basically says, you know what,
00:09:37.320 Carney? I might be from another party. I might be the leader of another party and want to be Prime
00:09:42.240 Minister instead of you. But I will give you as much advice as I can to try and get this deal across
00:09:47.220 the finish line. Because you know, every idea that Polyev has are going to be completely
00:09:53.220 incompatible with Mark Carney's ideology. And he's going to have to keep ignoring or rejecting Polyev's
00:09:58.500 ideas. And in doing so, he'll look like such a fool. He'll be rejecting, backhanding every good idea 1.00
00:10:05.200 out of the park, pretending like he doesn't need anyone's help while he's not getting a trade deal.
00:10:10.580 This is what I talked about in my last video. This is how you steal that issue from Mark Carney.
00:10:15.420 You demonstrate that even if you try and be as cooperative as possible, he doesn't want your
00:10:20.740 help because he doesn't want to get a trade deal done. And now he becomes the problem,
00:10:25.360 not Donald Trump, who Carney keeps trying to blame. But then Polyev needs to repeat this 0.60
00:10:30.420 on every other issue. I see Polyev winning this issue eventually, the trade issue. But you have to
00:10:36.000 win the tax issue. You have to win the indigenous land issue. You have to win the deregulation issue,
00:10:41.440 the crime issue. And you can't win on those by saying, let's have slight adjustments.
00:10:45.820 On immigration, run on an even bigger immigration cut than Carney has already done. Because people 0.99
00:10:51.480 have an appetite for even more. Cut the TFW program even more. Cut students even more. Cut PRs even
00:10:58.220 more. Enforce the law against criminals. If you're going to run against drugs, run with a big mandatory
00:11:04.000 minimum for first offenses on fentanyl. You're dealing fentanyl 15 years in prison, 10 years in
00:11:11.300 prison. And use the notwithstanding clause to uphold it if you need to. Everyone knows dealing fentanyl is
00:11:17.360 basically just killing people. That is all you're doing. You are dealing death. And we are going to
00:11:21.840 treat it like that by basically treating it like at least attempted murder, because that is what it is.
00:11:27.200 Anyways, that should be it for this video, guys. Oh, actually, no, it's not it for this video. I'm
00:11:33.480 baiting you out. And everyone who is staying past this are the true believers. And now you're part of
00:11:37.660 the Wyatt Claypool cult. We're all going to go to the starship together now. So this is a liberal
00:11:45.460 MP candidate for Scarborough Southwest. She is, in fact, the current NDP MP in one of the Scarborough
00:11:53.820 writings. So she is a new Democratic Party provincial representative now running for the federal
00:11:59.020 liberals. You'll notice this is why this is why this is like the foreign policy issues are so bad
00:12:06.420 for Mark Carney right now. Dolly Begum, to put it lightly, is pro-terror. She has never condemned a
00:12:12.360 Middle Eastern terror group, but she has condemned the United States and Israel like seven plus times.
00:12:18.040 Zero straight condemnations of any terror organization. If she's ever said anything bad about Hamas,
00:12:22.880 and I've read a couple times, it's always tucked beneath attacking Israel or the United States or
00:12:28.400 somebody else. It's basically saying, oh, I don't like that they killed 1,200 people. It's like,
00:12:33.180 well, that's very good, Dolly. You don't like that they killed 1,200 people? No straight Hamas needs 0.99
00:12:37.960 to disarm and go away and they need to be eliminated. Only that them killing 1,200 people 0.99
00:12:43.140 seemed like a mistake, apparently. You'll notice as you go through her social media,
00:12:48.000 in the midst of the Iran thing, in the midst of 35,000 people being murdered, couldn't get a single 0.82
00:12:54.880 tweet about out. Couldn't do it once. Has constantly tweeted about Israel in the past and attacking them
00:13:02.900 for, you know, wanting to not live next to terrorists. But nothing on this current situation
00:13:09.000 of people being murdered, even though her own prime minister is tweeting out about it. She cannot bring
00:13:14.160 herself to do it. This is why Carney is trying to have his cake and eat it too on this Iran issue. 0.86
00:13:19.040 He takes the right position, then he takes the wrong position, then he takes the right position again,
00:13:22.500 hoping that everyone will somehow be satisfied and just cling to whatever version of the statement
00:13:27.500 they like the best. I would hate to be Laura Babcock right now, not just because of the lack of
00:13:34.060 lithium that is driving her crazy, but because when Mark Carney first put out her statement,
00:13:39.520 his statement, she was mad about that, and then she was happy when she then condemned Israel and 0.82
00:13:44.020 the United States, and I know she is mad about it again, and I want to go check in with her in just
00:13:48.880 a second here. This lady is in a roller coaster ride of cope, and godspeed to her. But anyways, 1.00
