Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Well, the word on the street today is that the man who is technically
00:00:06.640
our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, is going to be calling the federal election this Sunday.
00:00:12.780
This means that election day could fall in late April or early May since the Prime Minister does
00:00:18.660
get to pick the length of the election period. I think right off the bat that this is a terrible
00:00:24.320
idea for the Carney Liberals. I think that they believe that they need the election to be ASAP
00:00:30.220
or they can't win. The problem is that the current news cycle is absolutely terrible for them,
00:00:36.180
so I fully invite them to call the election right now. Canadians are quickly realizing that the man
00:00:41.700
can't talk, that Trump thinks he's a weakling, and he has absolutely no accomplishments under his belt
00:00:47.480
as Prime Minister other than getting rid of the consumer carbon tax, but effectively promising
00:00:53.580
at the same time to greatly increase the industrial carbon tax while taking away the rebate, which
00:00:59.080
means that prices are going to go up even more without anyone even being given back a portion
00:01:04.200
of their money. So looking good right now. Yes, they are up in the polls, but if you've seen any of my
00:01:12.000
polling analysis, I don't actually think they're ahead in the polls. In fact, the two pollsters I trust,
00:01:17.120
Innovative Research and Abacus Data, have never showed them even tied with the Conservatives.
00:01:21.620
They show them at best four points behind the Conservatives, and I think that is going to be
00:01:26.380
a high watermark for the Carney Liberals, especially now, again, reiterating that Donald Trump is saying
00:01:33.560
he'd like to work with the Liberals, heavily implying that he thinks they're weaklings, and he thinks that
00:01:38.640
Pierre Polyev is a strong individual who is not 100% aligned with him on trade, which, of course,
00:01:45.080
Polyev shouldn't be. He is running to be the Prime Minister of Canada, not running to be a U.S.
00:01:49.920
senator. I want to go over some of the things the Liberal Party as well as the NDP are doing right
00:01:55.880
now, and I just want to talk about why their messaging is totally off. I will admit when I
00:02:02.620
think a party is actually doing good messaging. Even a week ago, I actually said the NDP put out
00:02:07.920
a decent ad against Mark Carney. Since then, they've just started spiraling back into socialistic rhetoric
00:02:14.040
about workers and billionaires. They're going to wipe out. The only thing saving Jagmeet Singh this election
00:02:19.900
is that Mark Carney and the Liberals may be even more incompetent than he is when it comes to messaging
00:02:25.660
because they're doubling down on some of the same anti-Polyev talking points that have failed for two years
00:02:32.360
straight. These are the same things they've been saying about Polyev when he was 20 points up in the polls
00:02:37.840
and it never affected Polyev's polling position. Anyways, but before I get into some of this stuff, guys,
00:02:44.500
a reminder that if you want to follow my election coverage, make sure to like this video, subscribe to the
00:02:50.280
channel, leave a comment, and of course recommend the channel to your friends, family, and others. I'm trying
00:02:55.420
to get to 100,000 subscribers by mid-December. Anyways, but let's start off with NDP leader
00:03:03.020
Jagmeet Singh who had a press conference today and added was actually asked explicitly about his
00:03:09.460
abysmal polling numbers in which he then rambles for about a minute and a half about workers and
00:03:14.500
billionaires or whatever because this is all the man has to say. The NDP hasn't polled this low in
00:03:20.300
decades. Some projections show that the NDP is at risk of losing up to three quarters of the seats you
00:03:25.200
have right now. Your own seat is at risk. After all this time as the leader, what do you think it is
00:03:31.440
that you haven't been able to do to turn things around for the party?
00:03:35.780
This is a very important election and I know that Mark Carney and Pierre Polyev would want nothing
00:03:42.260
better than the NDP to disappear so they can continue to give big gifts to the billionaires to
00:03:48.340
favor rich CEOs. Okay, sorry, but if that's currently true, he's admitting that they want to continue
00:03:56.280
doing something and yeah, the liberals give out a lot of subsidies and that's bad and whatnot,
00:04:00.440
but he's doing it. He's phrasing this in such a socialistic way, but he's admitting at the same
00:04:04.960
time that he actually hasn't done anything to stop this thing that's going on because he says they're
00:04:09.360
going to continue to do it. So what's the point of electing the NDP if he hasn't been able to stop it
00:04:14.500
despite the fact that he's been in a coalition government effectively with the liberals?
00:04:20.000
And not have us point out that actually we need an economy that works for working people. I'm sure they
00:04:25.320
would love for us to not point out that they've completely ignored working people. I think Mark
00:04:30.260
Carney would love for me to not be there to point out that a week of him being in prime minister,
00:04:35.640
he's found time to do a whole bunch of other things, but nothing for workers at a time when
00:04:40.900
they're actually worried about losing their jobs and they're already losing their jobs. Nothing,
00:04:47.680
When does this man ever lower taxes so that trades workers and other people don't have to have like
00:04:53.020
a third of their income going to the government? He's such a hack in that this way that Jack Meeson
00:04:58.240
couldn't care less about working class people. He only cares about those working people who are
00:05:04.560
already believing in the brand of the NDP, which is a very small shrinking group of people because
00:05:10.020
they're so sanctimonious and they get nothing done. And by the way, they never win because they're an
00:05:15.140
incompetent party and never should they win. You lose your job in this country. We're going to
00:05:19.260
guarantee that you can keep your roof over your head. You're going to keep food on the table.
00:05:22.700
Nothing. And Pierre Paul, yeah, would like nothing more than you Democrats not to be there to point
00:05:26.740
out. You show up to a factory where workers lost their jobs and you're not going to mention anything
00:05:32.800
for those workers that lost their job. Because the better thing to do would be to cut taxes so that
00:05:38.020
those workers could have those jobs back so that the business wouldn't have gone down in the first
00:05:42.580
place. He is such a small minded individual that he actually thinks the solution to job loss is
00:05:49.340
giving the people who lost the jobs printed money from the government. You're going to propose another
00:05:54.880
big tax cut for big corporations? Yes, that would actually help. I mean, I'm sure they would like
00:06:00.240
nothing better than that. News for them. News for everybody. We're not going anywhere. Yeah. Thank
00:06:06.640
you for Juno News for clipping that. Obviously, I don't have a team to go around clipping stuff, but
00:06:10.500
he's just doing the same old thing. You think he would try a little bit. Here's a really bad
00:06:16.240
headline for Mark Carney on the potential eve of an election. I know it's not Saturday yet,
00:06:22.220
but we're very close to an election apparently being called. One of his consultants works at the
00:06:27.460
Century Initiative. This is from MyPolitics. It says, Prime Minister Mark Carney has added the co-founder
00:06:32.520
of a controversial lobbying group, that's the Century Initiative, that advocates for increasing the
00:06:37.420
Canadian population to 100 million by 2100 to his council advisors on Canada-US relations. Yes,
00:06:45.140
and that is absolutely insane. He is a big mass immigration guy. I don't like Mark Miller. He was
00:06:52.460
a bad immigration minister. But even Mark Miller had to at some point recognize that immigration was too
00:06:58.480
high and he slashed new permanent residencies by 100,000 a year. It's still at 395,000 per year.
00:07:06.140
It should be at like 125,000 and then we should have a very strict point system and value system
00:07:11.780
on top of it. But he got rid of Mark Miller probably because he wants to bring someone in
00:07:15.920
who wants more population because it's the way that Mark Carney and Justin Trudeau for years
00:07:21.540
has been faking good GDP numbers. Our GDP sucks. Even our overall GDP has slowed to a crawl in terms
00:07:29.360
of growth and our per capita GDP is only going up by half a percent. It's only gone up by half a percent
00:07:35.620
in several years. In fact, it's been going down. We made a few years of gains under Trudeau for the
00:07:41.460
first three years, but then the rot set in and everything started falling off. Carney wants to go
00:07:46.540
back to that. This is a button that the conservatives need to hit every single day is the immigration one.
00:07:52.560
This guy is an immigration radical and he cannot be let in or your city is not going to look the same
00:07:57.980
in a few years because it's just going to be covered in economic migrants who don't really want to be
00:08:02.700
here other than the fact that they work jobs with subsidized wages from the federal government.
00:08:07.880
But moving on to a new piece. This is the new angle the liberals have to make up for the fact that
00:08:13.160
Donald Trump did in fact endorse them. And it's to point out back when Trump said something slightly
00:08:18.460
nice about Polyev in January. By the way, it is currently March. It doesn't matter what he said
00:08:25.440
on January 6th of 2025. It has been overcome by the fact that he says, oh, I don't like Polyev anymore.
00:08:30.740
I like the liberals. Are you looking forward to working with Pierre Oliver, the new guy?
00:08:35.880
I am. If that's what happens, certainly it will be very good. Our views would be more aligned, certainly.
00:08:44.760
Okay. Yeah, the liberals can point this out. But then Polyev can just say, man, since then,
00:08:50.520
because I haven't wanted to work with him on trade, because I haven't agreed with him on trade. And
00:08:54.040
obviously somebody running for it to be Prime Minister of Canada shouldn't 100% agree with the
00:08:59.140
US's trade position. And Polyev has even agreed limitedly about the border needing to be secured and
00:09:04.680
there's too many drugs and stuff like that. But then at some point he says, at some point the tariffs
00:09:08.560
are still not justifiable. Again, if anything, this is helping Polyev. This is like why it's actually
00:09:16.100
good for the Conservative Party to be attacked over its pro-life MPs. I'm personally pro-life. I think the
00:09:21.760
Conservative Party should be more pro-life. But every time the liberals attack the Conservatives as pro-life,
00:09:27.200
all it does is it reinforces that pro-life voters are going to be voting Conservative because it's the only
00:09:31.520
party with pro-life MPs. And anyone who's rabidly pro-choice to the point that bothers them and they're not going
00:09:37.000
to vote Conservative, we're never voting Conservative in the first place. So this is an attack that all
00:09:42.320
it's doing is reinforcing to people who like Trump inside the Conservative Party that yes, Trump can
00:09:47.540
confirm that Polyev is much more like him than Mark Carney or Justin Trudeau are, at the same time
00:09:54.260
that he doesn't like Polyev because he's tough and he'd be tough to negotiate with and he'd rather deal
00:09:59.920
with Prime Minister Gumby, Mark Carney, because he has no spine. And, you know, Mark Carney is also
00:10:06.700
bringing back terrible ministers like Kirstie Freeland, who Trump has experience getting
00:10:12.460
one over on when it comes to the USMCA negotiations. People try and give her credit because she basically
00:10:18.740
protected certain Canadian industries. She took certain things off the table. But in fact, we did
00:10:23.380
lose on that front. I think that we actually didn't really lose from the perspective that the US kind of
00:10:29.240
forced Canada to be a little bit more pro-free market. At the same time, the Canada's goal was to try
00:10:36.420
and protect as many industries as possible. So from the Liberals' own benchmark list, they did a bad
00:10:43.280
job. Anyways, so now let's move on to how they're trying to pitch Mark Carney. That same press conference
00:10:51.940
that I've showed you in previous videos that he was stumbling all over himself trying to say what he was
00:10:57.760
going to talk to Trump about on the phone, they actually had the audacity to clip that same press
00:11:03.200
conference, a better moment for him, and it's still nothing. They could only get a 30-second clip
00:11:09.260
of him talking somewhat coherently, and it still sounds like Pablum. This man is going to underperform
00:11:15.460
so hard when people actually are seeing clips of him every day on the news, realizing he sounds like
00:11:21.220
a wind-up robot. Canada is strong and it's going to get stronger. We can give ourselves more than
00:11:29.480
anything that President Trump or other trade partner can take away. That's a basic point, and
00:11:35.440
that if there is a misconception of that in the United States, I'm not saying the President has that
00:11:40.400
misconception, but if there's a misconception of that, we're going to disabuse that misconception.
00:11:45.080
We're going to grow this economy because that's good for Canadians, better for our future, and we
00:11:51.500
can do it. I think another good nickname is calling him Prime Minister Eeyore. We have Mark Carney,
00:11:57.160
Prime Minister Eeyore, we have Gumby. The man just doesn't give you presence. Do you think this guy's
00:12:03.440
going to win a debate against Pierre Polyev? Is Pierre Polyev the best debater on the planet? No,
00:12:08.000
not really, and that's not a shot against him. That's not his primary thing. He's great at speaking,
00:12:12.960
but it's not like you're sending in some debate club champion, but Polyev can be firm about things.
00:12:19.540
This guy is so soft, and it's going to destroy them, and now here is their other angle on
00:12:25.140
Pierre Polyev. They're doing the same talking point again. They've been doing this for two years now.
00:12:32.580
This comparison actually, again, makes Canadians less likely to listen to the Liberals' fear-mongering
00:12:39.240
that Pierre Polyev is like Trump because their comparisons are so shallow. Look at this. Is
00:12:44.020
anyone actually going to decide to not vote for Polyev because of this? Trump was right about
00:12:48.420
everything. How did I get it so right when so many others got it so wrong? Everything is broken.
00:12:57.280
Everything is broken. We're defunding them. We will defund them. Because I have common sense,
00:13:02.300
okay? And unfortunately, so far, what's wrong with any of these? In context, both of them were right
00:13:09.960
about the domestic and foreign issues they're talking about. It was that what Polyev was saying
00:13:14.040
that he was right about inflation. He was right about inflation. So because Polyev and him both speak
00:13:20.120
the English language, apparently they're now bad. A lot of people don't. They have no common sense.
00:13:27.480
Your organization is terrible. You are attacking our news organization. Can you give us a chance?
00:13:31.300
We have basically a Liberal heckler who snuck in here today.
00:13:40.860
It's so weak. The Liberals have never gotten over the idea that they are simply just going to be able
00:13:46.620
to say Trump and Polyev and that that's going to be good. The thing is, the actual Conservatives have a
00:13:52.960
better Trump angle on Mark Carney with the endorsement. They can play Mark Carney stumbling
00:13:57.440
over his words, not knowing what to say when the topic of Trump comes up, and then just cut over
00:14:02.000
to Trump saying, yeah, I'd rather negotiate with the Liberals. It's a blockbuster ad for the Conservatives
00:14:07.340
to run. And the Conservatives, and I'm willing to criticize the Conservatives where they need
00:14:12.440
criticism, but they've been doing a really good job with the advertising recently. It's actually quite
00:14:17.800
good. Their attacks on Mark Carney actually land. And that's the thing. When you're fighting a
00:14:27.880
political battle, you want to hit hard. You don't want these cute angles of showing Trump and Polyev
00:14:35.120
saying some of the same things and trying to get people to come to the conclusion that, oh, we can't
00:14:40.080
have Polyev. He's too much like Trump. Because nobody watches that ad and actually thinks anything
00:14:44.000
wrong was said. First and foremost, I think what President Trump wants, he wants several things.
00:14:49.220
He wants good, high-paying jobs in America. He wants more investment in America. He wants
00:14:54.160
repatriation of many American industries and firms to the United States. I think it's easier to deal
00:15:01.660
actually with a Liberal. Conservative Party listens to me sometimes. You know, they don't want me in
00:15:11.380
their house for some reason. They won't talk to me directly. But see, I can say that two days in
00:15:16.980
advance. Say this is the exact ad they should run, and they do run that ad. With the added little
00:15:21.900
touch of the Brookfield stuff, good job, guys. Give that person a raise whoever put together the ad
00:15:27.260
that I was suggesting. Maybe it was so obvious that they did it anyways. But it's been good.
00:15:31.180
Everything has actually been super solid when it comes to them going after Mark Carney. And the thing is
00:15:37.240
that, like, I like this little graphic they put together, the soul, the Carney sold out Canadian
00:15:42.940
jobs thing. They should just do tons and tons of this stuff regarding him and Brookfield, his
00:15:48.400
conflicts of interest, the conflict of interest angle. That's like the worst issue that Carney has
00:15:53.520
right now. Because he's made it an issue by not willing to tell anybody about what's in the blind
00:15:57.760
trust. He is so stupid. He pretends that because he's put the stuff in the blind trust, he doesn't
00:16:02.920
even know what's in it anymore. It's in a blind trust. Other people are managing it. I don't know
00:16:06.860
it's in the blind trust. It went into the blind trust five minutes ago. He's like an infant who
00:16:10.860
doesn't know object permanence. You know what you were invested in and people want to know.
00:16:16.880
And that's why even Rosemary Barton has to answer the question. Then he attacked her
00:16:20.440
like a lady who is so pro-liberal she might still get his name tattooed for to her forehead
00:16:25.780
that, oh, well, you have ill will against me for asking me about my conflicts of interest. Yes,
00:16:31.460
tell people what you're invested in so that if that company gets a big contract out of nowhere
00:16:35.480
and they did not have a competitive contracting process, people can ask some questions. If you're
00:16:42.620
giving out sole source contracts to people that you were heavily invested in, that's a problem.
00:16:48.120
He can have a blind trust and not know technically what the money's in. But he also knows that his
00:16:53.880
managers are not just going to sell everything off and buy new stocks overnight. It's going to mostly
00:16:58.280
stay the same. So people would like to know if any of those businesses are getting handouts,
00:17:03.060
subsidies, because that's what the liberals do. They are pro-business more than the NDP,
00:17:07.940
but only from the perspective that they give businesses they like a lot of money.
00:17:11.700
The NDP just taxes them to death and tries to nationalize them, whereas the conservatives,
00:17:16.100
when they're acting properly, cut taxes and let people do their own thing.
00:17:21.540
So anyways, yeah, I don't even care what the polling situation looks like. The pollsters I follow already
00:17:27.540
showed a decent lead for the conservatives at the high watermark for Carney. We're going to see a
00:17:33.700
collapse in the coming days. Again, I will say that if you want to follow my polling videos especially,
00:17:38.100
subscribe to the channel because I'm going to be breaking it down into detail. I'll show you the
00:17:42.900
pollsters I trust. I'll still show you what other ones are saying because even the other pollsters
00:17:47.540
demonstrate that the conservatives have strength. Ipsos put out a poll recently where the liberals were up
00:17:53.860
by four points. Again, I don't think they're actually up by four points. I think these pollsters are
00:17:58.740
accidentally, outside of Icos, I think most of them are just accidentally over-polling liberals
00:18:04.100
and not doing enough demographic questions to make sure that their Ontario sample isn't downtown
00:18:09.060
Toronto only. But even in these samples that are not great for the conservatives, 40% when you do a
00:18:15.060
head-to-head, who would you rather have as prime minister? Pauliev gets 40% and Carney gets 60%.
00:18:21.300
And you could say that's a great lead for Carney. Okay, but it's a sample with a lot more lefty
00:18:27.060
people in it. And Pauliev is still grabbing 40%. So he has a solid base of 40% considering that there
00:18:33.940
are three left-wing parties and there really is only the one conservative party. PPC exists.
00:18:40.740
They're not winning anything because they don't want to win anything. They're going to waste donor
00:18:44.260
money again pretending they're running a campaign, giving no money to the actual candidates to knock
00:18:48.820
doors or buy literature and they're going to fail again. So if you're considering voting PPC because
00:18:53.380
you read the platform and you like it, guys, the platform doesn't mean anything when they're not
00:18:57.620
even serious about running. They are basically making a fool of you by getting you to give them
00:19:02.500
money to have a nice platform on their website that they're not marketing. They're not going door-to-door
00:19:07.220
trying to win. They don't care to win. And so really, it's just them saying a bunch of nice crap and
00:19:11.620
then doing nothing with it. So that's it for me today, guys. This thing's going to get interesting.
00:19:17.700
So make sure to follow me and I'll see you guys next time.
