He also talks about how Mark Carney is getting increasingly arrogant and uppity when challenged at his own press conferences and why he should know better than Trevor Toome.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Going into the final week of Canada's federal election,
00:00:05.440 it's clear to me that Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives have the momentum.
00:00:09.460 Now, I don't know if it's enough momentum or they have enough time left to cross the finish line
00:00:14.380 and win the plurality of seats in this election, but at the very least, I rate this entire thing
00:00:20.580 as a big coin toss. It's a coin toss between a liberal minority or a conservative minority.
00:00:26.640 Maybe one's a little bit more likely than the other, but I don't want to endlessly speculate
00:00:31.520 about that. At the very least, I would say that Mark Carney and the liberals seem to agree with me
00:00:36.600 because Mark Carney is getting very arrogant and uppity again at his own press conferences
00:00:42.200 when he is given mildly challenging questions. It reminds me of the start of the federal campaign
00:00:48.680 where he had that really weird exchange with Rosemary Barton when she, a liberal ally who
00:00:55.220 worked for the CBC just asked him about his investments and a potential conflict of interest,
00:01:00.000 which every journalist was asking him about because it was a hot topic, and he came to her
00:01:03.980 and answered as, Rosemary, look inside yourself. I don't know what I did to you in order to deserve
00:01:11.440 this animus from you. I'm paraphrasing, of course, but it was like a really condescending and arrogant
00:01:16.640 non-answer from him to dodge what was a perfectly legitimate question about his assets, but now he's
00:01:24.220 doing the same thing. You can tell that the conservatives and bloc are gaining on the liberals
00:01:28.600 and things are getting uncomfortable because Mark Carney does not work well under pressure.
00:01:33.320 So before I play this clip right here, I'm going to give you a bit of context, but before the context,
00:01:39.420 guys, if you like my channel, if you've been liking my federal election coverage,
00:01:43.920 make sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber,
00:01:48.540 and leave a comment on what you think about the topic of the day. So the context here is yesterday,
00:01:55.200 Trevor Toome, an economist, I know personally he is not a conservative, ran a piece talking about
00:02:00.960 how Mark Carney's budget plan and the massive amount of new spending is going to put Canada in a really
00:02:07.920 bad place debt-wise and that a lot of the budget didn't really make much sense. He's adding
00:02:13.620 130 billion dollars of new spending, but then he says that he can somehow find 28 billion of that
00:02:19.920 new spending in efficiencies in the government, which he doesn't explain how he's going to do at
00:02:24.480 all, and that Trevor Toome, when he runs the numbers, shows Canada gaining like almost a half a trillion
00:02:31.280 dollars in new debt over the next few years. Very sober, very objective analysis. Again, Trevor Toome is
00:02:39.220 even someone who defended the carbon tax. This is not somebody from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
00:02:44.480 This is somebody who, I don't know how he votes, but is somebody who's not anti-liberal exactly.
00:02:51.120 And when asked about this analysis by Trevor Toome, Mark Carney gives one of the most nasty
00:02:57.040 answers I've ever seen, like as if Trevor Toome stood up in front of him and started attacking him
00:03:03.260 over his platform. Trevor Toome wasn't here. He's an economist. A journalist was just asking him
00:03:09.520 about the analysis. And Carney's answer is basically I'm smarter than Trevor Toome. This guy, an oil
00:03:16.240 exec on X says, Mark Carney continues to clash with the media who dared to criticize his plan that would
00:03:22.240 increase Canada's debt to record high levels in comparison to the CPC plan to aggressively slash it.
00:03:29.000 Literally, he says, Trevor Toome is wrong. I have more experience than he does. Now, this clip is
00:03:34.560 going to open up with a French reporter in the middle of asking him this question. And he, again,
00:03:39.760 is just going to dismiss it by effectively saying I'm smarter than Trevor Toome. You know, my dad could
00:03:45.200 beat up Trevor Toome's dad. This is the prime minister. So Trevor Toome is wrong, in your opinion. Yes.
00:03:52.340 I have more experience than he does. And it's important to state that.
00:03:59.480 I'd like to follow up on that. Just that if you've got an economist like Trevor Toome saying that your plan is
00:04:05.900 unsustainable, I mean, it's just that is there an argument that if Pierre Polyev is trying to bring down, bring
00:04:13.640 down spending, bring down the deficit, that his plan is more fiscally responsible than yours? Okay.
00:04:17.820 There's one thing that you can write on a paper. There's another thing that will happen in the
00:04:22.420 economy. Okay. So our plan, to be clear, is focused on investment and growing this economy.
00:04:31.700 All of the spending, all of the investment in years three and four are for growing the economy.
00:04:37.780 But that's the same thing that the liberals have been running on. In fact,
00:04:42.740 Polyev today, at his own platform announcement, called out Carney for literally just running on what
00:04:49.460 the liberals gave him to run on. That was something, it's hilarious that this is actually
00:04:54.760 something that somebody on the CBC admitted was the Justin Trudeau 2025 platform, and they basically
00:05:01.440 just command F'd Justin Trudeau's name out and replaced it with Mark Carney. There was literally
00:05:07.380 nothing different than what Justin Trudeau would have been doing. And so yeah, like this is just
00:05:12.920 not a very good look for Mark Carney. You're going to be speaking, talking down to people. Here's
00:05:17.040 another clip of him that Dan Manzer, a conservative MP, posted this morning, which I'm going to allow
00:05:23.700 his description to characterize it. Dan says here, bombshell audio, Carney pretends to be a climate
00:05:32.160 crusader, but behind closed doors, it's all about making money. In undercover audio, Mark Carney admits
00:05:38.080 that massive institutions like his firm Brookfield are promoting radical net zero policies, not to
00:05:43.540 save the planet, but to, quote, to make a lot of money off of this, unquote. Want more proof it's all
00:05:50.360 about making money? Carney quietly moved 30 billion in so-called green funds to offshore tax havens to
00:05:56.860 avoid paying Canadian taxes. He has no issue padding his pockets and sending Canadians the bill. We cannot
00:06:02.500 afford a fourth term of high prices. But I want to jump down to the audio because there is that oozing
00:06:08.320 contempt that Mark Carney seems to have for normal people that I think bleeds through a lot in clips
00:06:14.040 like this. He stood up and said, you know, we're going to manage to net zero by 2050. Actually, we're going
00:06:19.240 to have specific targets by 2025 and 2030, so you can measure the short term. And they don't say this quite as
00:06:26.700 loudly, but what they're also saying and thinking, and we're going to make a lot of money off of this, because
00:06:31.380 actually, this is the way the world's headed. I mean, I'm sure exactly where we get there. But to be carbon
00:06:37.620 competitive is, is going to be value created.
00:06:42.740 And the context here is that Mark Carney is specifically, he's not talking about this, the way the world's moving
00:06:47.840 organically. He's saying this is what the government's doing. So if you're a big institution like Brookfield, and
00:06:53.180 you're investing in things that the liberals are pumping up, you could make a lot of money. And we
00:06:58.740 don't say this out loud, because obviously, that's a pretty nasty thing to imply, that you don't actually
00:07:04.380 believe the things you're doing are helping, you don't care. It's just that your institution, by
00:07:10.040 altering the market and being already ready there to capture all that subsidized money, is going to make
00:07:15.560 a lot out of all this. That is pretty horrible. That's pretty horrific. In a second here, I want to jump
00:07:22.540 over as well to just some of the liberals marketing. I did this yesterday, but I want to do it again
00:07:27.360 today. I find it so obnoxious, how the liberals are effectively running a campaign of just not
00:07:35.700 obviously lying, it's generic to say that the other guys are lying. But it's just the least charitable
00:07:42.260 interpretation of their opponent. The liberal, the conservatives don't need to do this. The
00:07:46.700 conservatives can actually point to policy failures. The liberals are running advertisements
00:07:51.460 like this. I'm Bill Blair, the former chief of the Toronto Police Service. Conservative politicians
00:07:56.780 always talk about getting tough on crime. But Pierre Poglia, the leader of the Conservative Party,
00:08:01.360 has done absolutely nothing to get guns off of our streets. In fact, he's promised the gun lobby
00:08:05.780 he'll bring back assault rifles. And he wants to give us American-style gun laws. Canada is not
00:08:10.720 America. I'm with Mark Carney. His party's... What is he talking about? The liberals passed Bill C-5,
00:08:18.240 a piece of legislation not as many people usually talk about, but it lowered the actual sentences
00:08:25.100 for gangbangers caught carrying illegal handguns, illegal smuggled over the border handguns. You were
00:08:31.940 now given basically a slap on the wrist, like maybe a year in prison at most, for carrying an illegal
00:08:37.220 handgun of being part of a gang. And the liberals are going to try and cast Spurgeons at Pierre Poglia
00:08:43.180 and the conservatives because they want to let gun owners who went through to get their possession
00:08:48.760 and acquisition license, their weapons back? Well, yeah. Well, the liberal government hasn't actually
00:08:54.460 taken any yet because even they know that this is ballot box poison overall. And that's why they only...
00:09:02.040 They like to campaign on doing it, but they don't actually like to do it because as soon as you do it,
00:09:05.700 I think a lot of Canadians who are even maybe, like, you know, in favor of gun control would realize,
00:09:11.720 yeah, going after Farmer Joe for owning a shotgun that looks scary is completely ridiculous.
00:09:18.700 People who own guns legally are one-third as likely to commit a violent crime as the average Canadian.
00:09:25.940 If anything, I would love to promote people in high school getting a PAL or an RPAL because it would
00:09:32.260 actually increase their level of awareness of what being a responsible citizen entails. Because as soon
00:09:38.840 as you get your PAL, you can absolutely not get caught with a DUI. You cannot commit any violent
00:09:45.380 offense. You can't actually... Or you can't steal because you will lose your license. I think that rights
00:09:51.440 are very... Pair very well with responsibilities. And I think getting a PAL increases your responsibilities
00:09:57.820 and it makes you value your rights more. And it also makes society safer if we have more people
00:10:02.720 who are law-abiding gun owners who can, you know, prevent people from stealing their SUV by breaking
00:10:07.660 into their house to steal the keys, which again, liberal officials in Toronto tell you to just let
00:10:12.520 happen. That's how ridiculous things are right now. But I find this just obnoxious. Well, the conservatives
00:10:18.160 are going to put more guns back on the streets. Really? Really? Is that where PAL holders were carrying
00:10:22.400 their rifles was just through the streets of Toronto? No. It's ridiculous. Stopped the sale of handguns
00:10:27.900 and has banned assault rifles in Canada. Mark Carney wants to keep our streets safe. And that's how we
00:10:33.440 keep Canada strong. Violent crime under the Liberals overall across the country is up 30%. In certain
00:10:40.720 provinces, it's above 50%. And these people are going to be like, we took guns off the streets. We're
00:10:45.980 trying to make Canadian streets safer. Well, you failed. And again, even though he was the economic
00:10:51.260 advisor for five straight years, did he ever raise a little bit of protest over the criminal justice
00:10:56.680 policies? He still hasn't. He's not actually planning on repealing anything like Bill C-75 that has
00:11:03.100 differential sentencing based on like ethnic background that it instructs judges to use.
00:11:09.760 Insane. We should not have DEI sentencing for criminals. If anything, if you're concerned about
00:11:16.500 racism in the criminal justice system, you should be more concerned about the fact that if you had
00:11:21.240 don't lock up criminals, they will go back to their own communities and victimize those people.
00:11:26.660 Because most people who commit like violent offenses committed against people who are like
00:11:31.880 themselves. So saying like, well, we can't lock up X person from X community, because that could be
00:11:38.080 seen as an offense against the community. Really? Locking up a criminal from that community is worse than
00:11:44.600 letting that person do whatever they want in that community. You know, knock over liquor stores,
00:11:49.480 assault people, steal purses from old women. Really? Well, now I just want to jump over to this other
00:11:55.980 post that the liberals made trying to criticize the conservative platform. Now, I wish the conservative
00:12:03.360 platform had been more hawkish in a lot of areas, been more focused on cuts or been more hawkish when it
00:12:10.440 comes to cutting taxes or other sort of policy areas. Maybe I think they went a bit mild. But at the very
00:12:16.140 least, the liberals criticism makes no sense. They say liberal of the liberal party says a tale of two
00:12:22.120 tax cuts. Pierre Polyev has quietly walked back to his own promise delivering less for Canadians for the
00:12:27.540 next two years, as we heard in and as we head into an economic crisis. No, he did not. He didn't walk any
00:12:36.160 promise back. He said he was going to cut taxes under $100,000 or whatever by 15%. He is still doing that.
00:12:43.200 He is just phasing it in over four years because having a 15% loss in tax revenue in that lower
00:12:50.500 bracket all at once can make it harder to actually get your deficits under control. The liberals, as you
00:12:56.920 can see here, their tax plan phases in right away here. Look, there's cost more in the first year
00:13:02.100 because they're cutting more in the first year. Yeah, but then it flatlines. They're cutting 1%
00:13:08.040 off of the, so the conservative plan actually takes 2.25% of your taxes off of the first like
00:13:16.740 100,000 or whatever, whereas the liberals take 1% off. So they're celebrating that technically in the
00:13:22.020 first year, there's one that looks better. Okay, but are they not just telling on themselves that
00:13:27.780 they value short term over long term? Because I care more what my taxes look like in five years
00:13:35.500 and making it actually consistent rather than do I get another 200 bucks back next year. I would
00:13:42.220 rather get less money back next year, but in the long run I'm saving like 1,500 in my taxes rather
00:13:48.220 than the liberals just giving me 500 off now and that's it. Regardless though. Okay, I want to move
00:13:54.500 on to actually a couple other issues. Some more side issues here. One, polls are actually looking quite
00:14:01.280 good for the conservatives. Now, I think the conservatives are still being underestimated
00:14:05.560 in the polls. When a poll comes out and the conservatives are at 37 or 38%, I tend to doubt
00:14:10.440 it. The conservatives have gained a lot of support since 2021. I don't think they're only going to be
00:14:15.320 doing 3% better than Aaron O'Toole had done. And so, but the thing is I want to talk about is how the
00:14:21.780 Bloc Québécois are doing. So the Bloc Québécois are very key to the conservative victory here and
00:14:27.520 there they seem to also be underestimated by the pollsters probably for different reasons than the
00:14:33.540 than the conservatives are. Conservatives have a lot of rural supporters who don't tend to take a lot
00:14:38.300 of polls, which artificially makes it look like the conservatives are going to do less well
00:14:42.820 nationally. You can see this effect happening in Saskatchewan's provincial election, a very rural
00:14:48.020 province, and all of the pollsters pretty much missed the popular vote. In fact, actually, they all did.
00:14:53.080 Some of them thought the Saskatchewan party was going to win the popular vote, but they assume that
00:14:57.160 they would win by like three. Some of them assumed that the NDP in Saskatchewan were going to win by
00:15:02.880 like two to five, when in fact the Saskatchewan party won by 12. It was insane. And so I think
00:15:10.000 that is going on to a lesser extent in Canada nationally, because obviously Canada as a whole
00:15:16.360 is less rural than Saskatchewan as a singular province, but I could assume that the conservatives
00:15:21.800 may be underestimated by two and a half points. So if you see them at 38 and a half or 38,
00:15:28.140 they're probably at 40 and a half or 41. But here is the Bloc Quebecois on 338 Canada now for this
00:15:35.460 riding of Les Pays something Haute. I cannot pronounce French names. I am just way too English.
00:15:42.020 But right here on 338 Canada, their projection for this riding that currently there is not an
00:15:49.700 incumbent running for has the Bloc at 39% projected to get and the Liberals at 36. Now that's good for
00:15:57.820 the conservatives because it denies the Liberals a seat on the outskirts of Montreal. But I want to
00:16:03.800 show you the actual poll result that Main Street had specifically for this riding. They did a poll
00:16:11.300 only of that riding on the outskirts of Montreal. And that poll found that the Bloc is actually
00:16:17.460 leading by more than the 338 average assumes. And I assume that this is even underestimating them a
00:16:23.080 bit because I do not think the PPC is going to get 4% around the Montreal area. They tend to do even
00:16:28.720 worse than 1% in most Quebec ridings. And the conservatives are probably going to be voting for the Bloc as
00:16:33.620 well. But the Bloc Quebecois in this riding, based on the numbers from Main Street, are leading
00:16:38.900 37 to 31 over the Liberals. That is a six-point lead, which is double what the 338 average is
00:16:46.460 currently assuming. If this holds up over the other Montreal suburbs off of the island of Montreal, we
00:16:54.220 could see the Liberals not gain anything in Quebec over what they had in 2021. In fact, they actually may
00:17:00.560 lose support because although their overall support in the province has risen, it just means that they're
00:17:06.400 winning ridings they used to get 50% in with 60% of the vote. It is basically the same thing that often
00:17:12.720 happens to the conservatives in places like Battle River, Crowfoot, or Slave Lake. You end up going from 65% of
00:17:20.140 the vote to 75%. And it doesn't actually make a national difference that you ended up winning that riding by
00:17:26.080 massive margins all the way up to pure dictatorship margins because people like the conservatives so much in
00:17:31.600 rural areas of Alberta. And so, and when I say the Liberals may even lose seats, it's because specific
00:17:37.800 ridings in Montreal do not like the Liberals anymore, like Mount Royal, which has a heavy Jewish population
00:17:43.440 who is very unimpressed with the enabling of anti-Semitism from the Liberal government, both in terms of
00:17:49.460 Middle Eastern issues, as well as letting Hamas protesters run rampant all over Canada and block roads in
00:17:55.820 Jewish neighborhoods. It's ridiculous. I was in a more heavily Jewish neighborhood around the Ottawa area,
00:18:01.600 and it is actually surprising how forward people are from the Jewish community on bringing that up.
00:18:06.860 That is a top of mind issue, just how much seething contempt the Liberal Party has had for Jewish people
00:18:13.440 over the last few years, and the sort of patting on the head they have for the Hamas activists.
00:18:18.740 So, that is one issue. Now I want to bring up another one. And this one is silly. I'm going to be
00:18:24.020 very frank. This is a silly issue. I just want to kind of end on here. We're not going to end on it,
00:18:29.660 but a side thing before I just sort of talk about some very minor posts. Guys, the left doesn't
00:18:37.580 understand what a right is. And we're going to be talking about this Frank Dominic video at the end
00:18:44.920 here. He's talking about an injunction that was made against Doug Ford trying to get rid of bike
00:18:51.260 lanes in Toronto. Not all of them, but getting rid of bike lanes that have been holding up traffic
00:18:55.540 and making the city just be full of traffic congestion all day long. I don't even like Doug
00:19:01.080 Ford, but this is a common sense move for him to be making. But Frank Dominic here thinks that this
00:19:07.500 is actually very good, that you can file a charter challenge against removing bike lanes and the
00:19:14.720 court will give an injunction. This is insane. The courts have blocked Doug Ford from removing the
00:19:19.460 bike lanes in Toronto. Now, mind you, this is just temporary, but essentially the courts are saying that
00:19:23.320 Doug Ford has to wait until it's played out in the courts before he can actually remove them because
00:19:26.820 there is currently a charter challenge on the removal of the bike lanes. What is your charter
00:19:30.660 right to a bike lane? Like, what is it? I don't understand. While this doesn't indicate what the
00:19:36.260 outcome of that case will be, it is a good sign for people who are in favor of bike lanes in Toronto.
00:19:40.880 Now, mind you, Doug Ford can just throw all this out the window by reinstituting the bill
00:19:44.100 with the notwithstanding clause included. So the question is whether or not Doug Ford wants to take the
00:19:48.180 political hit on this or not. No. That would not be a political hit for Doug Ford. Again,
00:19:52.220 I don't even like Doug Ford. He would only be gaining support by doing this. People don't like
00:19:57.340 bike lanes. The only people who like bike lanes are people who are either that very tiny minority
00:20:02.380 of people who actually ride their bikes or the people who would like to think that I'm going to
00:20:05.820 start riding my bike to work next week and they never actually do it. This is a popular issue,
00:20:11.440 getting rid of bike lanes to make the cities less congested. And for some reason, Frank here thinks
00:20:18.040 it's like, this is a good thing for people who support bike lanes. Like, I guess it's wild to
00:20:24.560 me that this guy who's a teacher just has it kind of fly over his head that maybe it's a bad thing
00:20:30.080 for courts to give injunctions against legislation for charter challenges that don't make sense.
00:20:36.160 This is the same person who'd probably be mocking people who are against lockdowns and mandates
00:20:40.840 for filing charter challenges in courts to get injunctions against mandates for vaccines that you just
00:20:46.720 did not need. And, but no, no, it's fine if the bike, the bike people do it.
00:20:51.340 Now, do I think that it's rational for him to use the notwithstanding clause on bike lanes of all
00:20:54.420 things? No, but this is Doug Ford we're talking about.
00:20:56.940 No, no, it's irrational for the courts to do this. Doug Ford shouldn't have to use his notwithstanding
00:21:02.040 clause. I would encourage him to do it. Hopefully Doug Ford is not a coward like he usually is.
00:21:07.200 But no, no, no, it's not, oh, Doug Ford would be using the notwithstanding clause against
00:21:11.720 bike lanes. How petty, no, no, no. How petty of the court to put an injunction in place for
00:21:17.660 something like this? How dare they?
00:21:20.240 Has being rational ever prevented him or pushed him towards doing anything? Mr. Business over there
00:21:25.480 claims to be rational, but rationality has not been the core competency of his government. Mind you,
00:21:29.940 I don't think his government has any competencies to begin with. Maybe rationality is his core
00:21:33.660 incompetency. Anyway, if you want to stay updated on this, hit the like and follow buttons.
00:21:36.580 Yeah, and he just goes into just pure, just like, you know, just random attacks on Doug Ford. And I'm
00:21:41.820 fine with pure random attacks on Doug Ford, but make them make sense. Oh, Doug Ford doesn't have any
00:21:48.220 competency or he's not rational because he wants to get rid of bike lanes that nobody really uses that
00:21:54.180 absolutely slows down traffic in the city of Toronto. I support getting rid of them. Get rid of
00:21:59.480 them. No, you don't have a right to sometimes ride a bike because you like it. If it slows down traffic
00:22:05.060 for everybody, isn't it public good to get rid of the bike lanes? This is where the left doesn't
00:22:09.420 understand the difference, like what a right and freedom is. They don't think that you have a freedom
00:22:14.060 to like, you know, not be locked down in your house or to refuse a vaccine that there's just no medical
00:22:20.400 like evidence that you absolutely need in any way. Like you just did not need the COVID vaccine
00:22:26.280 to survive in like everyday life. That you don't have the right to refuse those things, but you do have
00:22:32.740 the right to a bike lane, especially in the winter when nobody absolutely needs it. But for some reason,
00:22:38.140 they still clear the bike lanes, even if it's covered in snow or like you would never even think
00:22:42.700 about riding a bike at that time. Stupid, just absolutely stupid. Now, in Polioff's platform today,
00:22:51.420 he made an actual, this is a really good point that was made that we need to eliminate the need
00:22:56.820 for university degrees to work in the federal government. There are so many departments where
00:23:01.800 it's not even not required to have a university degree. It's probably a good thing not to have
00:23:07.880 what just show up when you're 19 years old and learn the trade of that federal department. You don't need
00:23:13.640 to sit through anthropology classes to work in the federal government. And I find it so telling that
00:23:19.100 this is the take that somebody like Chantal Hubert had when Polioff had announced this. She says,
00:23:25.360 apparently Ken is public service is underage, is overeducated. So the conservatives per their
00:23:30.500 costed platform promise to eliminate university degree requirements for most federal public service
00:23:35.860 roles to hire for skill, not credentials. Yes. Yes. Based. Good. Yes. Get rid of stupid degrees.
00:23:44.420 Guys, most people in liberal arts, and I'm speaking as someone who took two degrees in liberal arts,
00:23:50.300 are not more qualified for a federal job than somebody who just got into it because they wanted
00:23:55.720 to. In fact, you probably have more skill if you're somebody who has the confidence to just,
00:24:00.500 to just apply without the degree. I trust you more than the person who felt like they needed four
00:24:05.380 years of sociology in order to work in that federal department. Obviously, some federal jobs should
00:24:11.140 require a degree. If you work in finance, you probably should have an accounting degree,
00:24:15.360 something in economics, you know, whatever, public finance. That's fine. But if you're working in
00:24:20.800 veterans affairs, why do you need a degree? If you're working in like, in like the, what are like
00:24:27.100 some of these other ones where it's like culture, why do you need a degree to work in culture? You need
00:24:30.520 a hospitality degree and work in culture? No, just start working there and you'll eventually have all
00:24:35.320 skills you need in a very short period of time. I think that in fact, a lot of these university
00:24:40.140 programs that people take, make them dumber. Don't hire people with degrees in certain areas.
00:24:45.600 Oh my goodness. And then here is actually one other thing I wanted to pull up. And this was
00:24:50.820 from Polyev's announcement today. And I thought this was just generally a pretty good moment where
00:24:55.180 he goes over, I believe this is the clip where he talks about the prime minister, the PBO report
00:25:00.840 on just how bad or the privy council office has made some pretty crazy predictions of how bad
00:25:07.720 Canada is going to be or what the shape of the country in 2020, uh, 2040. And he delivered this
00:25:14.060 today. And I thought this was just a really good moment for him that he needs to put out there.
00:25:18.080 So Mr. Carney has the same liberal MPs, same liberal ministers, same liberal platform,
00:25:23.880 and you will get the same disastrous liberal results. And it is a very dangerous future if the
00:25:31.240 Liberals get their fourth term. And this isn't just my words. It's Mark Carney's own government
00:25:37.320 department. Just a week ago, we learned that one of the departments of the government, the Privy
00:25:44.500 Council office, has made some very depressing predictions about the way the country is headed
00:25:50.520 after a decade of liberal rule. I'm going to quote directly from this Privy Council report.
00:25:56.060 In 2040, upward mobility is almost unheard of in Canada, they predict. Hardly anyone believes they
00:26:04.720 can build a life, a better life for themselves or their children through their own efforts. And many
00:26:09.580 worry about sliding down the social order. It forecasts more people may struggle to afford rent, bills and
00:26:17.560 groceries. Resulting stress could worsen mental health challenges. This would increase demand for
00:26:24.180 social services. And then there's some specific forecasts that the current Liberal government is
00:26:30.180 making about our future. In 2040, owning a home is not a realistic goal for many. Inequality between
00:26:38.900 those who rent and those who own has become a key driver of social, economic and political conflict.
00:26:45.300 The report goes on to say that people may lose faith in the Canadian project altogether.
00:26:50.660 It forecasts that many will leave the country to avoid this rising cost and declining opportunity.
00:27:00.420 And they believe that it will lead to a mental health crisis. More people will emigrate to
00:27:04.820 jurisdictions where they believe upward mobility and or higher social, higher standards of living
00:27:10.580 are easier to obtain. Quote, if young people, if young workers leave Canada, it may become harder to pay
00:27:17.380 for the systems that support a growing number of older people. It says things are so bad that,
00:27:23.060 and this is a quote, I'm quoting from the government here. If I had said this myself,
00:27:28.020 you would have thought it was outlandish, but this is the government's own predictions about how bad
00:27:32.020 things are headed right now. People may start to hunt, fish and forage on public lands and waterways
00:27:39.940 because they can't afford groceries anymore. The conservatives should be cutting this into
00:27:46.580 an advertisement, especially on platforms that a lot of younger people use. That is incredible.
00:27:53.140 That is an actual office from the prime minister's like that is like a department within the prime
00:27:57.940 minister's office who is who has filed a report basically saying things are going to look like
00:28:03.540 literally as Polly have said, it's going to look like fallout or the last of us by 2040 in certain
00:28:08.900 aspects. You know, people are going to be like, you know, pairing off to go try and hunt deer in
00:28:14.100 order so that they can fill their freezer with some cheaper food that they didn't have to purchase.
00:28:19.220 Wild. And the thing is like, this is all going on and the regular media doesn't cover it.
00:28:24.660 This report has been out for a few days and CBC doesn't report it. No, not from the golden mail,
00:28:29.540 not from the Toronto star. Obviously you'll get like the sun or the national post to say something
00:28:33.860 in the alternative media, but so many people live in a bubble where they don't hear the stuff.
00:28:38.420 They don't hear how bad things are. Tristan Hopper. I need to go get that book that he's put out.
00:28:43.780 He worked for the national post. I think it was, it was the book. His title is called don't be like
00:28:48.500 Canada. And it's all about just all the terrible things going on in Canada and that he's talked to
00:28:54.420 people, or I think through some sort of process, seen that Canadians will hear about the same type
00:29:00.180 of news stories going on in other countries, which are actually not as bad as the current state of
00:29:04.260 Canada. They'll be like, wow, that place is such a hole. I can't believe anyone would tolerate that.
00:29:08.580 And a worse version of that same thing is going on here. People just don't know or care about it.
00:29:13.140 It's wild just how much the government can get away with in Canada. And there's this kind of
00:29:17.940 boring normality in Canada that goes on complaining it's for Americans. Let's not say anything bad
00:29:24.580 about how our government's performing. Elbows up. Elbows up, guys. My goodness. So anyways, that should
00:29:30.740 be it for me today, guys. If you like my coverage of the federal election, as I said at the beginning
00:29:35.300 of the video, make sure to leave a like on this video, subscribe if you're not a subscriber, and leave
00:29:40.580 a comment on the topic of the day, how you think the federal election is going to go. Have you been able
00:29:46.420 to convert any people from voting liberal to conservative? I would love to hear that from you
00:29:50.420 guys. And I will see you guys later.
