The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney's Liberals Just Handed Poilievre a MASSIVE Election Gift on Fake Refugees

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.000 There's been a lot of controversy this week about a video released by Federal Conservative Party

00:00:11.540 leader Pierre Polyev on the issue of fake refugees and fake asylum seekers, and what

00:00:17.760 benefits they are gaining access to that, of course, they did not pay for. The Liberals,

00:00:23.580 although riding high in the polls right now, proceeded to really fumble this issue, which

00:00:28.780 is a good thing for the Conservatives, because with Trump reasserting himself in the headlines,

00:00:34.080 Mark Carney was being given a big artificial bump, since whenever the U.S. and Canada are in conflict,

00:00:40.900 naturally people will rally around whatever the incumbent government is, so this is at least

00:00:46.180 halfway to trying to change the channel away from international issues and back towards domestic

00:00:52.480 Canadian policy failures. In just a second here, I want to show you guys the video that Polyev released,

00:00:58.300 then I want to talk about the back and forth in question period today, and some of the other

00:01:03.240 footage from Parliament Hill. But before I get into it, I just want to remind you guys, if you like

00:01:09.300 the show, make sure to leave a like on this video, subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber, leave a

00:01:15.100 comment about what you think about all this, and of course, if you want to financially support the show

00:01:20.020 and make me less reliant on the YouTube algorithm, you can always hit the join button below the video

00:01:25.400 and make a small monthly contribution. And by the way, the value of subscribing right now is also

00:01:31.520 seeing a follow-up video I'm planning on making, which is going over what I think Pierre Polyev and

00:01:37.460 the Conservatives need to do to catch back up in the polls. Now, for a while, it looked like the polling

00:01:43.500 bump from the Liberals may be an anomaly. I still deny the polls out there that are showing the Liberals

00:01:49.980 ahead by 15 points or 13 points. I don't think we're in an environment right now where the party

00:01:55.260 is going to get that much higher over the Conservatives. Really, I think they're probably

00:02:00.860 leading the Conservatives by about five to seven points right now. But the Conservatives are in a

00:02:06.300 bit of a holding pattern, and they need to find a way of breaking out of it. I despise the way that

00:02:12.340 Conservative conventional wisdom goes, that you get within striking distance of the Liberals,

00:02:18.040 you know, maybe you're leading by a bit or you're trailing by a couple points, and you just go

00:02:22.500 silent. And you sit there statuesquely acting as the government-in-waiting, hoping that the Liberal

00:02:28.860 government will eventually fall apart and hand you the keys to the Kingdom. It's never going to be how

00:02:33.720 it is. You have to seize them by running on bold policy, and I will be making a video going over that

00:02:39.320 in the future. But anyways, let's get into this video from Pierre Polyev and talk about the reaction to

00:02:45.620 it, and then his back and forth with Prime Minister Mark Carney today.

00:02:49.500 Fact. Six million Canadians can't get access to a family doctor. Fact. It takes 30 weeks for the

00:02:56.040 average Canadian to see a specialist. Fact. While you can't get health care, Liberals force you to pay

00:03:01.060 higher taxes to fund deluxe supplementary health care benefits for asylum claimants who've been

00:03:08.520 rejected, who are non-Canadians, non-permanent residents, and have never paid taxes in this

00:03:13.720 country. Fact. The reality is that these services include many things that are not covered by your

00:03:20.600 public plan. Things like physiotherapy. Fact. The cost of providing these deluxe supplementary

00:03:28.380 benefits to asylum claimants has gone up by a thousand percent under the Liberals to over a billion

00:03:35.720 dollars. Money diverted away from our health care, jamming up our system and increasing our weight

00:03:41.160 lines. The Liberals destroyed our immigration system with numbers that overwhelmed our jobs,

00:03:46.440 our health care, and our housing. Not only that, they've made it so that when someone is here making

00:03:53.260 an asylum claim and they commit a crime, they could indeed have lower sentences than if a Canadian had 0.99

00:04:00.440 committed the very same crime. This is unfair and it's time that it changed. That's why tomorrow

00:04:07.320 Conservatives are moving a motion to change it. The motion would force a review and a cutback in benefits

00:04:14.040 to asylum claimants to ensure that non-citizens and non-permanent residents do not get superior health benefits

00:04:21.240 than Canadians. Second, it would ensure that those asylum claimants who are here and have been rejected

00:04:28.280 only get life-saving emergency care and not special care. And third, it would ensure that judges give

00:04:36.840 the full sentence and allow for a complete deportation of foreign nationals who are non-citizens

00:04:43.320 that commit crime in our country. Now, I'm not going to play the rest of the video. I think we all get

00:04:48.120 the gist of it there. That's quite a bit of it. But the one thing I want to say before we go on to the

00:04:52.600 reaction is, well, of course, one, I agree with it. I think this is good policy. Now, it is true right now

00:04:58.580 Mark Carney's Liberals are reducing the amount of temporary foreign workers coming into the country, new

00:05:03.440 permanent residents, new foreign students, and that's a good thing. Now, naturally, that's only because of

00:05:08.580 pressure from not only the Conservative Party, but just the political right in general to do it because it was

00:05:13.720 becoming such an albatross of an issue for the Liberals. Immigration numbers were so bad that they eventually 1.00

00:05:19.560 had to reduce the amount or they were going to get absolutely steamrolled in the next election. 0.91

00:05:24.600 But the other thing I want to bring up here, and this isn't to slag anyone, but this is to promote

00:05:29.400 the party I work for in British Columbia, that being Dallas Brody's 1BC party. I actually think there is a

00:05:36.640 chance that both Danielle Smith, who announced a referendum issue on immigration, and Pierre Polyev may be

00:05:42.460 following in the footsteps of Dallas Brody because back eight days ago, on February 16th, we released this

00:05:49.540 policy saying, a 1BC government will ensure that only citizens and permanent residents of British

00:05:55.280 Columbia are able to access provincial financial assistance programs, subsidized housing, student

00:06:00.560 benefits, etc. Temporary foreign workers and international students should not be accessing programs

00:06:05.800 we've been paying into. British Columbia is not a charity for the rest of the world. We serve our people

00:06:11.080 first. And it says no more benefits for temporary residents. 1BC serves British Columbians first. And then we did

00:06:16.520 throw in a quick additive right here in addition that says, 1BC would also punish the push the federal

00:06:22.780 government to make legislative changes to put delays on how quickly permanent residents can access

00:06:27.980 financial benefits, which we clarified because, yes, even if you're a permanent resident, and you're on the

00:06:33.800 pathway to becoming a citizen, it does feel weird that within just six months, you can already access

00:06:39.780 employment insurance and other sort of programs that you should probably have to pay into,

00:06:45.640 for at least a few years before you're allowed to take any money out of them. You shouldn't become a

00:06:50.480 permanent resident and then immediately be allowed to sit on welfare. That's obviously silly. 0.53

00:06:54.600 But now I want to jump over to the reaction to Pure Polya's video here.

00:07:00.680 So this guy, Marty Levesque, Mark Levesque, who I believe is a conservative, like a former conservative,

00:07:09.220 a very red Tory-ish type conservative. He says in reaction to this, what's a fake refugee? Either you've 0.98

00:07:16.020 applied for refugee status and it's been accepted, in which case you're a real refugee, or it hasn't,

00:07:21.440 in which case you're required to leave. And why does he keep on linking immigration to crime?

00:07:26.640 Dog whistle anyone? This is a perfect example of why I don't care if the red Tories, or if you call

00:07:34.760 them the blue liberals, that's fine too, get removed from federal conservative politics.

00:07:39.620 They're just toxic. They effectively are liberals by other means. They want the same policies,

00:07:44.980 but in the color blue. But this was such a weird thing for the liberals to be messing up on. I'm

00:07:50.480 going to go to the question period today now, because it's not like Mark Carney's been doing an awful job

00:07:55.920 on immigration. He has been making some changes here and there that I support. Cutting the amount of 0.99

00:08:01.480 TFWs and PRs and international students is great, but for some reason they can't actually agree with

00:08:08.640 the conservatives on this very basic point. And now they're fighting them on it, opening up a new

00:08:13.580 issue for the conservatives they didn't have to give them. That's why I've titled this video

00:08:17.440 Liberals Fumble When Poly of Demands They Stop Funding Fake Refugees. How are they fumbling this issue

00:08:22.940 this badly? They're ahead in the polls. They could just say, oh yeah, we agree. We're going to crack down

00:08:27.580 on that. And it would be over right now, but they couldn't admit that they're right.

00:08:31.100 Mr. Speaker, Canadians deserve good quality health care. But after a decade of this liberal

00:08:36.540 government, six million Canadians do not have a family doctor. Part of the reason is that mass,

00:08:44.480 out of control, liberal immigration has overwhelmed the system. And many of those resources are going

00:08:51.060 to people who are here illegally and have been rejected. There has been a 1,000% increase in

00:08:58.040 the cost of providing deluxe benefits to many people who are here illegally. Will the Prime 1.00

00:09:03.240 Minister reverse this policy, support our motion, and put Canadians first for health care?

00:09:08.580 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.

00:09:13.700 Mr. Speaker, yes, Canada is not America. Yes, Canada provides essential health care to everyone

00:09:20.700 in this country. The increase in costs in this program. To be fair, we actually, we do equally

00:09:33.180 provide health care to a certain extent. Yes, actually, fake refugees get better health care 1.00

00:09:37.640 than the average citizen without having to pay. But the overall point is, I guess we do get equal

00:09:43.240 access to health care because none of us get access to health care. Everything's slow. You have to wait

00:09:47.460 for everything. So Mark Carney's right about that. But I don't think in the way that he thinks he's

00:09:52.420 right. A reference in the opposition motion is a result of the increase in applicants for that

00:09:59.580 program. Now, what has this government done? This government has taken back control of immigration.

00:10:05.060 This government has reduced the number of temporary workers in this country by 50%. The demanders

00:10:11.320 asylum seekers by one third, and we're moderate.

00:10:16.280 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.

00:10:18.280 Now, right there, Mark Carney could have just said, you know what, we've had, we've made progress on all

00:10:23.560 of these areas of immigration by reducing the amount to make housing cheaper and open up more jobs for

00:10:29.400 Canadian youth. But he and then just say, and know what, you're right about that, we're going to crack 0.99

00:10:34.040 down on that. He could have done that. That would have been a smart play. But the thing is that he can't

00:10:38.920 actually admit the conservatives are right on anything. So the liberals are needlessly sidestepping

00:10:43.480 this issue. Now, remember, when I say the liberals are five to seven points up on the conservatives,

00:10:49.080 it's not because they're doing anything right. They're doing some right things on immigration.

00:10:53.400 But I mean, in a macro sense, other than some improvements on immigration, the thing is that

00:10:59.160 you can't really name any big accomplishments of their government. This is an artificial lead they

00:11:04.120 have right now because of the issue of Donald Trump. I guarantee you, as we get into the spring

00:11:08.760 and the summer, those leads are going to start melting away as people are actually waiting for

00:11:13.160 real achievements by the government. Now, I'm not letting the conservative party off the hook.

00:11:17.400 They need to run on a bold platform that highlights the failures of the liberals by running on something

00:11:22.920 just so much better than what the liberals are doing that it brings notice to how badly the liberals

00:11:27.960 are performing. But overall, the thing is that when the liberals, the liberals must think that

00:11:32.840 they're in such a high lead, they can basically just pat the conservatives on the head and say,

00:11:36.520 we don't give a crap about that, go sit back down. But the problem is, once their lead starts

00:11:41.320 naturally tapering off, and we're now fighting on this issue still, the fake refugee issue in a tighter

00:11:47.720 race, it could end up making the difference in an election campaign. The Trump bump is artificial.

00:11:55.000 Once we are past it, these domestic issues are going to start really hurting the liberals,

00:11:59.960 the fact that they've been so dismissive on it. The problem is that this government is not taking

00:12:07.000 care of health care for the Canadian people. Six million do not have a family doctor. 100,000 people

00:12:14.360 died on waiting lists since the liberals unleashed out of control immigration. There are currently 0.51

00:12:21.240 literally thousands of people who are waiting for procedures as we speak. And the prime minister claims

00:12:26.680 he's getting it under control. But it's all an illusion. He's just another liberal. There has been

00:12:32.280 a 3000% increase in refugee claims under his out of control system. Will he reign it in, support our

00:12:39.720 motion and put Canadians first? The right Honourable Prime Minister. Mr. Speaker.

00:12:47.000 Now the correct answer is just saying, you make a good point. We're going to crack down on that.

00:12:51.000 But after him talking about the 3000% increase and all this other stuff, the prime minister is

00:12:56.680 now going to try and basically go after the conservatives. Either he's just going to keep

00:13:00.760 deflecting. Obviously, he'll keep deflecting by saying his record is great. But then he'll keep

00:13:04.760 tutting this issue, which in fact makes the issue worse for him. I'm looking forward to coming up to

00:13:10.520 my one year anniversary as prime minister. During that time, new refugee claims, during that time,

00:13:24.600 new asylum claims have gone down by one third. During that time, temporary students have gone down

00:13:31.000 by 60%. During that time, temporary workers have gone down by 50%. We have the immigration system under

00:13:37.320 control and we're supplying health care Canadians. Now, naturally, the real problem is we already have

00:13:44.600 refugees here and asylum claimants who are accessing the benefits. Now, the problem is when you come in 0.99

00:13:51.080 as a refugee, we don't really even do a background check to make sure that that's your designation.

00:13:56.360 I think it came out the other day that we had over 20,000 refugee or asylum claims that had literally

00:14:03.720 zero background check for. They did zero test, they did zero check to see if this is a real case

00:14:10.840 or someone just making stuff up, likely just someone making stuff up, and they just approved it anyways.

00:14:16.040 Now, they're not doing a good, better job when they even do check, but the fact that they are that

00:14:21.880 derelict in their duty to do basic fact checking is insane. So, this isn't one of those things where

00:14:26.680 you're going to say, well, refugee claims are down now. Well, they're still coming in and we still have 1.00

00:14:31.720 the old ones we're still paying into. That's the problem. It's not like these people after one year

00:14:37.000 they evaporate and then we have the new set this year. No, no, the new sets of refugees are piling up 1.00

00:14:42.280 on the old ones.

00:14:45.720 The honorable leader of the opposition has the system under control. Obviously, he's just another liberal.

00:14:55.240 He thinks it's under control when the cost of deluxe supplementary benefits is up by a thousand percent

00:15:03.640 and the number of refugee claims is up by three thousand percent. Meanwhile, under his leadership

00:15:11.560 and after 11 years of liberal government, we have six million Canadians who cannot find a family doctor.

00:15:19.960 Will he get his take his head out of the stand vote for our motion and give Canadians back the health

00:15:24.760 care they deserve. Mr. Speaker, 11 years. I just got here. The member opposite.

00:15:38.760 I always find that talking point so stupid. I just got here. This is a new government. Apparently,

00:15:44.200 every time the liberals get in trouble, they can just like execute. The last guy brings down

00:15:48.360 Nelson. You're like, oh, wow, everything's totally different now. I just got here.

00:15:52.600 The member opposite. The member opposite has been here.

00:15:56.760 Mr. Speaker, I just got here. The leader of the opposition has been here his entire career.

00:16:26.280 With one exception. Now, during the time the Canada's new government has been here,

00:16:32.360 we have reduced asylum seekers by one third. We have reduced temporary foreign workers by 50 percent.

00:16:38.120 We have reduced new students by 60 percent. And we are. And let's be clear, they haven't reduced it by

00:16:43.240 one third. Frankly, it's Trump and other world leaders who have basically stabilized the world

00:16:49.240 environment to the point where there are just less opportunities for people to make refugee claims,

00:16:54.680 whether legitimate or fake, because even when a conflict is going on, you'll have people who

00:16:59.640 aren't even close to conflict using it as an excuse to claim refugee status. You know,

00:17:04.040 they're from Algeria or they're from Morocco, but they're saying, oh, I'm fleeing Syria. And some

00:17:08.440 stupid person in the Canadian bureaucracy doesn't really understand the difference. And they let them

00:17:12.840 through anyways. They haven't done anything to actually crack down on the flow of people, because if they

00:17:17.880 were making a real effort to make sure fakes weren't getting through, it should be like zero people getting

00:17:22.600 through because there's really no legitimate conflicts to be fleeing from right now that require

00:17:27.480 you to come all the way to Canada. It's such a stupid idea. Like there's there's a war going

00:17:31.960 on in Syria. Well, logically, let's go to Saskatchewan. Putting in place in front of this house

00:17:39.160 in C12 and C and C2, an ability to end the abuse of the asylum system. We look for their support.

00:17:45.640 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition. Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister may pretend he just

00:17:51.720 got here like he's a temporary foreign worker or something. But in reality, it's the same Liberal

00:17:58.040 House Leader, the same Liberal Finance Minister, the same Liberal Justice Minister who was the

00:18:03.000 Immigration Minister that broke the entire system that are running it into the ground today. And it's

00:18:08.120 not just health care that where there's two tier, Mr. Speaker. This Prime Minister keeps in place laws that

00:18:13.480 allow foreign criminals who are visiting Canada to have less time in jail after they commit crimes. 0.84

00:18:19.880 Will he get rid of the two tiered system so that we can lock up serious criminals and then kick them

00:18:24.680 out of our country when they're done their time? In a bit here, I'm going to get to some of the

00:18:30.760 reactions from in the hallways of Parliament where the Liberals won't even vote in favour of the

00:18:34.920 Conservative motion, which is given it's it gives it basically gives lie to the idea that there was ever

00:18:39.880 going to be this cooperative atmosphere because we kept hearing this all the Conservatives and the

00:18:43.240 other opposition parties need to cooperate with the government to fight back against Trump,

00:18:47.480 the Americans and to help Canada navigate this is chaotic new international world. But no,

00:18:54.280 it's just like if the opposition puts anything forward. Oh, my goodness, you guys are disrupting

00:18:58.040 our work. Why don't you just vote for whatever bills we put up?

00:19:01.000 Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, I would encourage in the spirit of the members opposite question support

00:19:11.080 for C2 and C12, which will help to address some of these issues. That's the first point. The second

00:19:16.360 point, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, when someone commits a crime in this country,

00:19:24.840 they should serve the time. I actually just disagree with that. If you've if you're from 0.99

00:19:33.080 like, again, another country and you come here and commit a crime and it's like petty theft or

00:19:36.840 something like that, you should just be deported. I don't want to put you in our jail and feed you 1.00

00:19:41.400 just go back home. Like what? We're going to have them serve the time here, then leave. That seems

00:19:46.200 really dumb to me. And if they've committed, they've committed an egregious crime. That's just more

00:19:49.960 of an argument for the death penalty. You know, if you've murdered someone and you're from another country, 1.00

00:19:53.880 why should we have to feed you for the rest of your life? 0.99

00:20:05.640 Well, yeah, it's going to the Bloc Québécois now. But now I want to bring us over to some of the

00:20:10.520 discussion in the hallways of Parliament where the Liberals were trying to attack what the Conservatives

00:20:16.120 were doing because, of course, they can't actually just say that they can't argue that that their bills

00:20:21.960 are already doing what the Conservatives want in their motion because they're also they've been

00:20:26.280 too busy attacking the motion and attacking Polly has a video as being mean and cruel and, you know, 0.99

00:20:33.400 foolish in some way. And so we have right here this post from Juneau news that reads,

00:20:39.000 a reporter clarifies after immigration minister Lina Diab calls out conservative asylum policy, quote,

00:20:45.720 the Conservatives say this new measure would suspend that because it's all countries,

00:20:50.600 the reporter notes. Diab freezes momentarily before moving on to other talking points.

00:20:55.400 So check this out. So basically, she's trying to mischaracterize the conservative policy. 1.00

00:21:00.280 The the the reporter is going to correct you here and then send to get a bit awkward.

00:21:04.120 The conservative government had put back in 2012 was unconstitutional because it it picked out

00:21:11.640 particular countries. They say this new motion would kind of supersede that this is all countries.

00:21:16.760 So basically, the correction here was that she's saying, well, this motion with conservative policy

00:21:22.120 from back in 2012 when Stephen Harper was still prime minister was ruled not constitutional. It was

00:21:27.160 against the charter by the Supreme Court. And it was because in the reporter steps in and says,

00:21:31.880 well, it's because it applied to only specific countries. It was considered discriminatory.

00:21:35.640 And this new policy they're putting forward applies to everything. So that no longer is an

00:21:40.040 argument. So I'll go back a bit. They say this new motion would kind of supersede that because it's

00:21:45.240 all countries. So what we have done in Bill C-12 and what we are doing with ensuring that our visa system

00:21:55.640 is integral is integral. We have done a lot of changes. We've also introduced copay provisions.

00:22:02.760 We want to still protect those refugees and those people that are claiming the help and need from

00:22:10.840 Canada that legitimately deserves to be protected, including the children. We will continue to do that.

00:22:16.440 We will uphold the constitutional and humanitarian and international obligations that Canada has as

00:22:28.920 a signatory to the UN convention. At the same time, we will protect the integrity of our immigration

00:22:36.040 system and our visa requirements. A lot of changes have happened. The figures that they were bringing

00:22:42.280 forth are not real figures. They are pretty much based on projections. They did not take effect at

00:22:50.120 all. Any of the provisions that we've made in the last number of months when we've come in as a new

00:22:56.120 government, nor will they do they take effect? What will happen when C-12 is actually implemented,

00:23:02.760 which I said to you, good news that passed last night from the Senate.

00:23:06.440 Mexico. But again, if it's a motion, if you agree and you're saying C-12 and all the stuff

00:23:15.560 already has the vote for the motion, it's because C-12 and all these things really aren't going to do

00:23:19.880 much unless you have someone caught dead to rights. It's not going to remove someone for being a fake

00:23:25.000 refugee or asylum seeker. The thing is that the thing is that it doesn't even if you're a real refugee

00:23:30.520 or asylum seeker, why are you coming to Canada if you require taxpayer support in the sense that you should 0.96

00:23:35.400 just be going to a country where you can afford to live rather than coming to a country where the

00:23:39.480 taxpayers are having to show up money for you to exist here artificially. Let's go to another clip

00:23:44.840 here where we have Steve McKinnon, the house leader for the Liberals, also saying that they will not vote

00:23:50.200 for the Conservative motion.

00:23:51.400 Do you think that your government will support the Conservative motion today to review the asylum benefits?

00:23:57.160 Steve McKinnon, I doubt that. Why do you say that? Why do you doubt that?

00:24:00.280 Steve McKinnon, I doubt. Look, it's very revealing to me that Conservatives went away for a week and tried to

00:24:12.280 think of an issue and the first thing they think of is to punch down at some very, very vulnerable people.

00:24:18.840 Okay, so they're mean, they're cruel, like I was saying that their talking point was going to be.

00:24:26.200 Did the Conservatives go away and they basically came back with this as their issue? I would just

00:24:31.240 say it doesn't matter. I always like when people try and think that pointing out that politics are

00:24:35.320 politics somehow makes an issue go away. Well, the Conservatives are doing this because they want

00:24:39.560 an issue that they can push in the media and whatnot and gain votes from. Yes, yes they do. What do you

00:24:46.760 guys sit around just passing policy for the fun of it? Or do you try and push policy that you think

00:24:51.880 is going to get votes? Do we really think that Mark Carney truly believes in the economic, you know,

00:24:58.360 the economic stimulating force of the GST rebate? No, it's to give a bunch of people back money.

00:25:04.120 So if a snap election occurred, maybe you would gain a couple more percentage points with people who are

00:25:09.000 lower income. That's really why it was done. And the whole idea that Stephen McKinnon is now going to

00:25:13.640 come out and say like, oh, well, they're playing politics. Yes, because this is politics. You're in

00:25:19.720 parliament. You're an elected official. You are here right now in this very moment, Steve McKinnon,

00:25:25.880 breathing in oxygen and exhaling CO2 as an elected member of parliament doing politics. Yes, the other

00:25:33.160 side is doing that too, Steve. I never I hate kind of things like that where it just feel like it's like,

00:25:38.840 oh, it's some cute excuse or whatever. But here we have a great press conference that ended up

00:25:44.120 happening earlier today as well with Conservative MP Michelle Rempel-Garner talking about the benefits

00:25:50.840 that have been given out to refugees. And that the Liberals are using to defend the indefensible 0.99

00:25:55.720 practice of giving failed asylum claimants better access to health care than Canadian taxpayers

00:26:01.160 and providing two tiered justice for noncitizens convicted of serious crimes. Let's start with

00:26:06.680 health care benefits for failed asylum claimants. For starters, under the Liberals, the interim federal

00:26:12.200 health program, the program that provides benefits to asylum claimants, has morphed well beyond its

00:26:17.720 initial intent of providing care to a small number of legitimate refugees who are fleeing to Canada from

00:26:24.040 war zones into a massive boondoggle that provides care to bogus asylum claimants. The cost of the program 1.00

00:26:30.280 has ballooned too. Conservatives uncovered that under the Liberals, the overall cost of the interim

00:26:35.800 federal health program has skyrocketed by over 1000% from 66 million to nearly 900 million dollars a

00:26:42.920 year. And it's projected to reach 1.5 billion dollars a year. In fact, the Liberals have mismanaged the

00:26:49.560 program so badly that they didn't give data to the parliamentary budget officer on a cost broken down by

00:26:55.000 category. And right now, Liberals on the health committee are currently filibustering a motion that

00:26:59.480 would ensure the government provides the PBO with this data. That's because contrary to the Liberals' claims,

00:27:05.480 Canada's asylum backlog has gotten worse. In fact, it hit a record 300,000 cases in December 2025.

00:27:13.160 And massive numbers of people in that backlog will be found to have made bogus claims.

00:27:18.200 This is no accident. It results directly from liberal failures like lifting visa requirements on

00:27:24.600 countries like Mexico, with no safeguards to prevent bogus claims, and refusing to tighten border

00:27:31.080 laws to stop illegal crossings and fraudulent asylum applications. Further, conservative order paper

00:27:37.320 question number 556, for those of you who want to look at this, asked how many failed asylum claimants

00:27:43.080 remain in Canada since 2020 alone. To give you a sense of the scope of the problem of the government

00:27:48.840 giving health benefits to failed asylum claimants, the data in this order paper question show that adding

00:27:54.440 up the refugee protection division and refugee appeal division decisions shows that 86 percent of

00:28:00.920 rejected claimants during this time period remain in Canada, or about 86,000 people. This aligns with

00:28:07.880 recent government data showing that of at least 500,000 undocumented individuals in Canada, plus

00:28:14.280 millions of people on expired or soon to expire work and other temporary permits, and thousands of failed

00:28:20.280 asylum claimants, the Liberals oversaw the removal of only about 22,000 people last year.

00:28:26.600 So this, the numbers on this issue are genuinely like a big election issue sort of a thing. I think

00:28:33.560 that they need to pair this up with some other bold reforms when it comes to other domestic areas in

00:28:38.120 terms of policy like taxes, some social or parental rights type issues. That would be really great. But yeah,

00:28:45.560 this issue does have legs. And the fact that the Liberals are fumbling it this hard when they have

00:28:50.200 a polling lead is like political malpractice. Now, I'm a conservative and I want them to lose.

00:28:55.320 But if you're a Liberal strategist, you're like ticked to your people by just saying like,

00:28:59.800 dude, just strike a committee and say you're going to work with them. Why are you basically like

00:29:04.760 dismissing and belittling the issue when it's going to take a lot of people off that you're allowing 86 0.85

00:29:10.600 percent of failed claimants to stay in the country? Maybe those people are still being 0.99

00:29:15.560 able to access health care because frankly, the government's doing such a bad job and everything

00:29:19.160 else. We really think that they're having their health cards taken away or having their numbers

00:29:23.480 canceled. So if they go to a hospital, they're not allowed to access. Even then, it still doesn't make

00:29:28.200 it better that we have a bunch of people illegally running around Canada and we don't even know the 0.99

00:29:32.040 exact number that's counting both illegal or the false asylum and refugee claimants and the TFWs and the

00:29:39.960 foreign students. And you have all these liberals like the Marty Levesque or Mark Levesque who used

00:29:45.720 to be a conservative and now is just a whining liberal and ex saying like, oh my goodness,

00:29:49.960 they're blaming them for the crime spike. Well, the crime spike started during the immigration spike 0.98

00:29:55.240 during the just mass handing out of visas. And it's because, yeah, a lot of students who are going to

00:30:00.120 the fake colleges in Canada were kind of involved in gangs. There's a reason why like a lot of the

00:30:06.520 people who are committing all the extortion shootings in Surrey are usually like patsy

00:30:12.360 type international students given a gun, told to shoot up a house. And so if that guy gets picked up

00:30:17.640 and arrested, none of the people who are actually running the operation in the city of Surrey or

00:30:23.080 Abbotsford or, you know, other areas, Burnaby, are actually being caught. They just put some flunky

00:30:28.840 international student up to it who at the worst is going to go to a prison in Canada or get deported.

00:30:33.320 It's not skin off their nose. They got paid to basically take part in this this extortion

00:30:38.520 racket. And it allows for the people at the heart of it to be like triple arms length away.

00:30:43.880 It's like normal type mafia stuff from the 70s, but in Canada here in the 2020s.

00:30:49.640 Anyways, with that all being said, thank you guys for watching this video. I want to make my next video

00:30:54.920 or the one after that, my one where I talk about the sort of issues right now for the conservative

00:30:59.480 party and what poly of needs to do to win. But I'm going to be saving that for another day.

00:31:04.200 This video is already over 31 minutes long. So thank you guys for sticking it out with me.

00:31:09.720 Again, consider liking this video, subscribing, hitting the join button and making a monthly

00:31:14.600 contribution. And of course, leave a comment about what you think about all this, what you

00:31:19.480 think about the refugee issue, and maybe add in what big issues you think the conservative

00:31:23.880 party should be tackling in order to shift the narrative away from the Carney versus Trump

00:31:28.840 narrative that the liberals are currently thriving on right now. Anyways, with that all being said,

00:31:33.320 thank you guys for watching. I'll see you all next time.
