Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:02.880 Although during this federal election I have mainly focused on the macro policy issues of the major parties
00:00:10.400 and the personality battles between Pierre Polyev and Mark Carney,
00:00:14.780 as well as the general election discourse online,
00:00:18.540 there is a lesser known issue that we should talk about because it is on the ballot in this election
00:00:23.780 and it could have massive ramifications for millions of Canadians all over the country.
00:00:29.320 And that is the Liberal Party's commitment in its 2025 budget
00:00:35.060 to get rid of the charity tax status for pro-life organizations and many churches.
00:00:41.680 This is something that they had actually proposed in the budget
00:00:44.660 and it seemed to have gotten quickly overshadowed by the announcement of tariffs by Donald Trump
00:00:50.560 that has dominated most of the news up till about now.
00:00:54.500 I think the tariff issue is still kind of present in the election,
00:00:57.440 although Trump basically backing down on it has made it, rightfully so, a moot point.
00:01:02.980 But I want to get into this issue right now just so you're informed about it
00:01:06.460 and then I want to move on to some other things about the Liberals' overall campaign strategy and their messaging.
00:01:13.000 They are still talking about that stupid video Mark Carney did with Mike Myers.
00:01:16.820 I kind of want to touch on that.
00:01:18.780 But before we get into it all, guys, I just want to remind you,
00:01:21.960 if you've been liking my federal election coverage, make sure to leave a like on this video,
00:01:27.300 leave a comment, as well as subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber.
00:01:32.360 Now, without further ado, I just want to quickly read a short excerpt from this very good article
00:01:38.040 done by my friend Jeff Park at the publication The Alberta Reformer,
00:01:42.540 which will be both linked in the description of this video below as well as pinned at the top of the comments.
00:01:49.340 I'm just going to scroll down to the section that I wanted to get to.
00:01:52.820 So, as Jeff says here,
00:01:55.120 On December 16th, 2024, while Canadians were preparing for Christmas and the political headlines dominated the news,
00:02:06.060 a quiet but significant threat to the Christian witness in Canada emerged.
00:02:10.340 Hidden deep within the Federal Finance Committee's 462 recommendations for Budget 2025
00:02:16.340 were two proposals that should deeply concern every believer.
00:02:20.360 Recommendation 429, no longer provide charitable tax status to anti-abortion organizations.
00:02:28.040 Recommendation 430, amend the Income Tax Act to remove the privileged status of advancement of religion as a charitable purpose.
00:02:38.380 Jeff goes on here to say,
00:02:39.580 Although easy to overlook, buried in the tail end of a lengthy list and overshadowed by political drama surrounding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation,
00:02:48.260 these recommendations strike at the very heart of Christian faithfulness and the public witness in Canada.
00:02:55.960 Absolutely.
00:02:57.560 You don't have to be a born-again Christian to understand that this is a very anti-freedom thing that the liberal government is planning on doing.
00:03:07.220 You do not put this recommendation in the budget if you don't believe in it.
00:03:12.800 And there is nothing that is indicated to me that Mark Carney,
00:03:16.400 who would have been the economic advisor at the time that this was put together,
00:03:20.120 doesn't believe in it himself.
00:03:22.280 So, my goodness, if you guys are Christian Canadians,
00:03:26.040 or if you're from literally any religious background, or you believe in nothing,
00:03:30.300 please go and vote conservative in this election,
00:03:32.240 because there are a lot of things at stake in this election,
00:03:35.960 other than the size of tax cuts or some policies around trade and other sort of social policies,
00:03:42.400 you know, online news algorithms.
00:03:44.960 That stuff is all very important.
00:03:46.700 But this may be more important than at all,
00:03:48.840 that your church could lose charity tax status because,
00:03:52.380 my goodness, they went around witnessing to people and telling them about Jesus Christ,
00:03:56.500 because apparently that would be too far for the government.
00:03:59.160 And then crisis pregnancy centers that help pregnant women by giving them resources
00:04:04.760 if they are struggling and they don't have the resources to take care of a child,
00:04:08.880 they apparently need to lose their tax statuses as well,
00:04:11.520 because they're terrible because they don't support abortion.
00:04:15.760 My goodness.
00:04:17.500 So, yeah, that's evil.
00:04:19.300 That's pretty horrible.
00:04:20.360 So, make sure you go out and vote on this Monday if you haven't voted yet.
00:04:24.300 You know, the country is kind of on the line in certain aspects.
00:04:26.960 I don't think Canada is going to go away if Mark Carney and the Liberals win.
00:04:31.100 But I would rather have to repair the country from this point
00:04:34.380 rather than sliding at a more exponentially fast rate for another four years
00:04:39.320 and then making it so that we need like a two to three term conservative government
00:04:43.440 to even get back to par from what the country was like maybe in 2019.
00:04:48.840 So, that was that issue.
00:04:51.020 If you want to read the full article that Jeff Park wrote, it's very good.
00:04:54.340 It's in the description below and pinned at the top of the comments.
00:04:57.520 But now I want to move on to something a little bit more lighthearted.
00:05:02.500 And that is Mark Carney's constant, frankly, I'm going to use the term pimping out of Mike Myers on the campaign.
00:05:12.880 Has Mike Myers hit a door for Mark Carney, by the way?
00:05:15.180 Because it seems like he just flew into town to film one video with Mark Carney.
00:05:20.280 And then since then, he's just been appearing on SNL wearing Canadian tire T-shirts
00:05:24.360 and putting his feet up in his home in New York or L.A.
00:05:28.400 I love when people think that he's like a true patriotic Canadian.
00:05:32.060 At the same time, he hasn't been in the country for absolute decades at this point.
00:05:36.560 But Mark Carney quotes him saying,
00:05:39.060 We're the country that stands up to bullies.
00:05:41.540 Okay, sure we are.
00:05:42.800 Sure we are, Mike.
00:05:43.600 And I like Canada.
00:05:44.760 But I hate this stupid,
00:05:46.640 We're the country that stands up to bullies.
00:05:48.600 It's vague nonsense because these people are not actually patriotic.
00:05:53.240 They don't care about the country past the way that it can sometimes represent their liberal ideology.
00:05:59.220 As soon as Canada becomes a conservative country,
00:06:02.160 as soon as we have a conservative government,
00:06:03.860 you have all these liberals whining that,
00:06:05.880 you know, Canada really doesn't have its soul anymore.
00:06:09.040 Canada is basically just like America,
00:06:11.100 which means it sucks again.
00:06:12.300 And they'll start talking about how the country is racist and genocidal once again.
00:06:17.120 But here's the video.
00:06:18.420 I'm not even sure if this is a different version,
00:06:20.240 but they keep posting it.
00:06:21.640 It's bullies.
00:06:22.900 This is what I can't stand in the world.
00:06:24.900 And we're the country that stands up to bullies.
00:06:29.600 And I hope, and I know that you will,
00:06:33.260 but I hope we...
00:06:34.220 Why is Mike Myers sitting there like he's his son,
00:06:37.360 and Mark Carney's like listening to his son talk about how he got pushed on the swings?
00:06:42.160 Continue to be the good guys.
00:06:44.640 What does Canada mean to you?
00:06:45.900 Like, how does it...
00:06:47.220 Canada means everything.
00:06:48.200 I wouldn't be anything without Canada.
00:06:53.680 The Canadian taxpayers subsidized our housing,
00:06:57.680 gave me a fantastic high school.
00:07:02.580 It's just things.
00:07:03.960 They had a television studio.
00:07:06.060 You get that education.
00:07:07.900 It's just things.
00:07:09.420 When these people consider Canada just things,
00:07:11.700 it really kind of gives away the game a little bit.
00:07:14.820 Canada is the social programs.
00:07:16.920 Canada is the fact that we do liberal things.
00:07:19.640 But past that, they don't really care.
00:07:20.880 Look at this that they posted.
00:07:23.600 Mark Carney posted this just three hours ago.
00:07:26.140 And it says,
00:07:27.160 Thanks for standing up for Canada, Mike.
00:07:29.600 And it has a picture from the New York Times.
00:07:31.960 Mike Myers is ready to defend Canada.
00:07:34.020 Quote,
00:07:34.240 I wanted to send a message home to say that I'm with you, you know?
00:07:38.240 Yeah, well, sending a message home.
00:07:39.700 Because he hasn't been in Canada for a very long time,
00:07:43.080 not to just film some sort of liberal propaganda
00:07:45.940 with our technical prime minister.
00:07:48.600 It's quite nauseating.
00:07:50.520 The liberal campaign hasn't budged a single inch to this point.
00:07:55.300 It has started off with fear-mongering about Trump.
00:07:58.000 Even that Mike Myers thing is about Trump
00:08:00.380 and us standing up to bullies.
00:08:02.020 And it's just been about the idea that,
00:08:04.360 well, you have to vote liberal.
00:08:06.100 Because look, Mike Myers, it's the Canadian thing to do.
00:08:10.640 They haven't actually really, in my opinion, made an argument.
00:08:14.640 You could say, well, have you read their platform?
00:08:16.140 Yes, I have read the top points of the platform.
00:08:18.420 I find it kind of silly when people are like,
00:08:20.000 why don't you read all 67 pages?
00:08:21.660 It doesn't matter.
00:08:22.180 What do you think that the random little bullet points
00:08:25.380 that sound okay make up for the $130 billion of new spending?
00:08:30.320 The boondoggle new housing program
00:08:32.660 that's really the old housing program
00:08:34.240 that still hasn't worked up to this point?
00:08:36.100 It doesn't make up for it.
00:08:37.180 It's a terrible platform.
00:08:38.960 It's just more spending and promises
00:08:41.160 that the things they did before that didn't work
00:08:43.540 are suddenly going to work.
00:08:45.220 And they're also still going to take away your guns.
00:08:47.060 And they're also still not going to actually enforce the law
00:08:50.140 and do all this stuff.
00:08:52.180 So I do want to move on to one more issue in this video.
00:08:55.920 I didn't advertise this at the start.
00:08:57.440 I forgot.
00:08:58.500 And I just want to bring up the problem.
00:09:00.840 And I know it's an election.
00:09:01.840 This really doesn't really matter until after the election.
00:09:04.900 But there is a problem on all political sides of grifters,
00:09:09.760 of people who don't actually think the things
00:09:12.640 that they are saying.
00:09:13.520 They are simply doing it to go viral.
00:09:15.680 And I think it has watered down political discourse
00:09:19.120 in this country.
00:09:19.920 I was pointing out this earlier in the day.
00:09:22.520 And a lot of people had thanked me for it.
00:09:24.220 Not that I'm like so fantastic.
00:09:25.620 Oh my goodness.
00:09:26.220 Why I got thanked for something.
00:09:27.760 But I had known about this a month ago.
00:09:30.640 And other people didn't.
00:09:32.160 And I pointed it out.
00:09:33.200 And hopefully saved some people
00:09:34.880 from retweeting and promoting this guy.
00:09:38.500 But there is this 17-year-old guy.
00:09:40.860 And I don't really care about somebody's age.
00:09:42.660 Because frankly, past the age of 12,
00:09:45.080 you're kind of responsible for yourself a little bit.
00:09:47.260 But this Tyson Hockley guy who posted this video,
00:09:50.600 it says, a message to Canada from the youth.
00:09:53.620 And behind him, he has some conservative signs,
00:09:55.780 a poly of change sign, a sign for his local candidate.
00:09:59.380 And he makes a video about how older Canadians
00:10:02.180 really need to prioritize the things
00:10:04.460 that the youth care about.
00:10:05.580 And that's a good message.
00:10:07.100 It's frankly a message that a lot of young Canadians
00:10:10.260 have been putting out.
00:10:11.160 Let's not overvalue how much money goes into CPP
00:10:14.520 if we're going to burden the youth
00:10:16.860 with more debt in the future.
00:10:18.660 Good thing to say, obviously.
00:10:20.360 We should have less censorship in this country.
00:10:23.300 We should actually have good jobs here
00:10:26.380 and have less immigration
00:10:27.560 so that Canadians can buy homes
00:10:29.120 and that there's not crazy hyper amounts of competition
00:10:32.300 for every single job out there.
00:10:34.180 Fair enough.
00:10:35.280 At the same time,
00:10:37.100 it was so obvious
00:10:38.520 because I knew who this person was.
00:10:40.300 And a bunch of people started sharing it.
00:10:41.720 It was kind of concerning to me.
00:10:42.880 This guy, I don't care, he's 17.
00:10:45.980 When you post things constantly
00:10:47.480 about how Jewish scientists control the world
00:10:49.940 and you post things about how,
00:10:51.960 I'm going to try and find the tweet here,
00:10:54.840 how he goes and asks Jordan Peterson
00:10:57.800 if Jewish people control the world
00:10:59.400 because that's what he believes.
00:11:01.500 I'm not even kidding.
00:11:02.480 He's had constant anti-Semites on his channel
00:11:04.820 to talk about this stuff.
00:11:06.480 He posts how,
00:11:07.780 Christianity is from Satan to deter people
00:11:09.460 from the true God?
00:11:10.340 And he has this grift where
00:11:12.880 he's always asking questions.
00:11:15.040 But he's always asking questions
00:11:16.520 to crazy people
00:11:18.440 who will answer it in the direction he wants.
00:11:20.660 So when he asks a question like that,
00:11:22.540 he's not talking to a Christian apologist
00:11:24.000 who's saying,
00:11:24.720 no, that's obviously wrong.
00:11:26.160 Here's a passage in the Bible
00:11:27.680 that proves that that's wrong.
00:11:29.200 He's usually talking to Islamists.
00:11:31.280 You can even see here
00:11:32.400 that he is for some reason
00:11:33.480 very much promoting
00:11:34.360 a hardcore fundamentalist version of Islam
00:11:38.280 as this random white kid.
00:11:40.340 Talk to people like Sneeko here.
00:11:42.360 If you can see in the thumbnails,
00:11:44.060 a man who thinks it's okay
00:11:45.140 for grown men to marry 12-year-olds.
00:11:47.800 He's promoting people like Andrew Tate
00:11:50.100 and Nicholas, Nick Fuentes and whatnot,
00:11:53.560 posting things like,
00:11:54.540 how could you be Christian?
00:11:55.460 Who is a Zionist?
00:11:57.160 And then Tyson,
00:11:58.680 what would it take to get on my podcast,
00:12:01.020 Nick Fuentes,
00:12:01.660 who is an actual white supremacist
00:12:03.920 and anti-Semite?
00:12:05.520 And here he says,
00:12:06.620 the deep state may just mean Israel.
00:12:10.240 We have to have a control out there,
00:12:12.800 not censorship at all.
00:12:14.200 I think Tyson can say
00:12:15.280 whatever he wants online,
00:12:16.920 but we need to filter out
00:12:18.440 for our own sake,
00:12:20.160 people who are going to say things
00:12:22.060 that we like,
00:12:23.200 pro-conservative things,
00:12:24.240 promoting Polyev.
00:12:25.160 Oh, the youth should go behind Polyev.
00:12:27.320 At the same time,
00:12:28.080 they want to push this stuff
00:12:28.960 behind the scenes.
00:12:30.000 This isn't like
00:12:30.820 around every corner
00:12:32.380 you're going to find somebody like this,
00:12:33.960 but I can name
00:12:34.820 like a handful of people
00:12:36.300 who kind of
00:12:37.400 will put out stuff
00:12:38.740 that normal conservative people like,
00:12:40.520 and then you scroll down
00:12:41.500 their timelines a little bit
00:12:42.640 and they're calling Ezra Levant
00:12:44.080 a terrible person
00:12:45.460 because he's Jewish.
00:12:47.320 I just have no time
00:12:49.060 for this gunk,
00:12:50.400 for this just scum behavior,
00:12:52.280 and I even confronted,
00:12:53.900 or Tyson like
00:12:54.600 had responded to me
00:12:55.740 posting that
00:12:56.460 and been like,
00:12:57.320 well,
00:12:57.640 why are you attacking me
00:12:58.600 for just asking questions?
00:13:00.180 You're not just asking questions.
00:13:01.840 This is the stupid
00:13:02.560 Candace Owens stick.
00:13:04.120 I'm just asking questions.
00:13:05.300 No, you're not
00:13:05.800 because you're only asking questions
00:13:07.000 to Islamists
00:13:07.820 and other anti-Semites
00:13:08.920 who are going to give you
00:13:09.580 the answers you want.
00:13:10.760 In fact,
00:13:11.200 it was hilarious
00:13:11.820 when he went to go
00:13:12.660 ask Jordan Peterson
00:13:13.660 his question about
00:13:14.920 do Jews run the world?
00:13:16.340 Because Jordan Peterson
00:13:17.220 basically,
00:13:18.340 not realizing that
00:13:19.340 that's Tyson's actual position,
00:13:21.200 said that that's what
00:13:21.980 simpletons and idiots think
00:13:23.400 to make up for their own
00:13:24.420 failures in life,
00:13:25.440 which I love,
00:13:26.840 based Jordan Peterson.
00:13:28.020 This has been a very much
00:13:30.120 a non-typical thing
00:13:31.280 for me to be talking about
00:13:32.280 on the channel,
00:13:32.980 but stuff like that
00:13:33.760 drives me up the wall.
00:13:35.220 Every once in a while,
00:13:36.380 Jeremy McKenzie becomes popular,
00:13:38.080 and I was literally,
00:13:39.400 two years before
00:13:40.220 the downfall of him
00:13:41.420 where he was making jokes
00:13:42.420 about literally assaulting
00:13:43.860 Polyev's wife
00:13:44.800 and stuff like that,
00:13:45.740 was saying,
00:13:46.120 guys,
00:13:46.860 don't trust him.
00:13:47.860 I have tapes of him
00:13:48.900 talking about the Holocaust
00:13:49.880 in ways that are really weird.
00:13:52.120 Him talking about
00:13:53.060 how, you know,
00:13:53.820 Jews deserve to get beat up
00:13:55.320 in New York City
00:13:56.200 because of their bad behavior
00:13:58.020 or whatever.
00:13:59.320 Jeremy McKenzie
00:13:59.980 is a complete scumbag.
00:14:01.600 People like Tyson,
00:14:02.480 who is 17,
00:14:03.260 can have time to recover,
00:14:04.500 and I hope he does.
00:14:05.520 But he has to delete the content.
00:14:07.260 I had people saying,
00:14:08.120 he's just 17, Wyatt.
00:14:09.480 Don't say anything.
00:14:10.480 He's allowed to say silly things.
00:14:12.120 He was saying this stuff
00:14:12.720 six days ago.
00:14:13.920 Some of this content
00:14:14.780 was from three days ago
00:14:16.600 where he's saying
00:14:17.460 that Christianity's satanic
00:14:18.800 and he's asking
00:14:19.520 Jordan Peterson
00:14:20.300 this insane garbage.
00:14:21.740 Do not promote people
00:14:25.040 just because they say
00:14:25.940 something you like
00:14:26.660 in the moment.
00:14:27.560 Promote people
00:14:28.080 who can have a consistency
00:14:29.600 in saying rational
00:14:31.120 and objectively true things.
00:14:33.460 So anyways,
00:14:34.060 obviously people have opinions,
00:14:35.320 but if their opinions
00:14:35.960 are based on insane garbage,
00:14:37.800 maybe filter them
00:14:38.500 out of your media diet.
00:14:39.560 Not that you guys
00:14:40.200 do that, obviously.
00:14:41.600 And that's not censorship to say.
00:14:42.980 There's this whole controversy
00:14:43.980 with Douglas Murray
00:14:45.480 on Joe Rogan
00:14:46.620 where he had confronted
00:14:47.360 Dave Smith,
00:14:47.980 who was a complete dullard
00:14:49.120 when it comes to foreign policy,
00:14:50.720 and Dave Smith
00:14:51.380 kept saying,
00:14:52.100 well, you're trying to censor me
00:14:52.960 by saying I shouldn't
00:14:53.680 talk about this.
00:14:55.200 Nobody controls
00:14:56.060 what you talk about
00:14:56.920 and I don't want censorship.
00:14:58.380 But if you constantly
00:14:59.260 talk about things
00:14:59.920 that you have no clue about
00:15:01.180 in ways that can be disproven,
00:15:03.360 yeah, somebody should
00:15:04.220 probably come alongside you
00:15:05.220 and say, you know,
00:15:05.960 maybe you should log off
00:15:07.060 the internet for a while
00:15:08.080 because you're not helping.
00:15:09.900 Regardless, though.
00:15:10.860 So that should be it
00:15:11.960 for me in this video, guys.
00:15:14.000 Thank you for watching the show.
00:15:15.540 Thank you for subscribing.
00:15:16.600 It all means a lot to me.
00:15:17.800 And I will be definitely back
00:15:19.800 with another video
00:15:20.840 in the coming,
00:15:22.120 not days, tomorrow.
00:15:23.380 I basically upload every day.
00:15:25.400 If anything,
00:15:26.260 I am consistent.
00:15:27.380 So you'll see me
00:15:28.160 probably tomorrow, guys,
00:15:29.480 and make sure you get out
00:15:30.860 and vote.
00:15:31.280 If you haven't,
00:15:32.040 on April 28th,
00:15:33.400 we need every vote
00:15:34.320 we can get.
00:15:34.860 It doesn't matter
00:15:35.460 how safe the seat is
00:15:37.500 for the Conservatives
00:15:38.140 or how safe it is
00:15:39.040 for the Liberals.
00:15:40.080 Go out and vote.
00:15:40.840 It helps the general momentum
00:15:42.500 for the Conservatives.
00:15:44.500 So with that being said,
00:15:46.640 see you guys all later.
