00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I have some great polling news for the Conservative Party and Pierre
00:00:05.860 Poly of today. In previous videos where I've been talking about polling, often I am talking about
00:00:11.540 polls that show the Liberals leading, but I'm always wanting to highlight numbers underneath
00:00:16.300 the national numbers that prove that the Liberals lead was far softer than many wanted to make it
00:00:21.880 out. And I think that these new numbers coming out right now are proving me exactly correct.
00:00:26.440 For an example, I would sometimes highlight a poll from Angus Reid. I don't even think they're a very
00:00:31.760 good firm, at least in this election cycle. They would have the Liberals up nationally on the
00:00:36.540 Conservatives by four to six points. But if you scroll down and read some of the sub numbers,
00:00:42.320 it would prove that things weren't actually looking as good for the Liberals as the national numbers
00:00:47.340 would make it seem. So they would poll voter enthusiasm and the Liberals would have 51%
00:00:52.840 of their supporters saying that they are definitely going to vote. But the Conservatives, and this is
00:00:58.160 a big sample for both parties, the Conservatives would have 72% of their supporters saying they're
00:01:04.220 definitely going to vote. In fact, with the Liberals, like 5% said they weren't going to vote at all,
00:01:09.120 and another 6% said that they were unlikely to vote. That's really, really bad for the Liberals,
00:01:14.820 and I think we are seeing that starting to bear fruit negatively for the Liberals, that they were the
00:01:19.880 shiny new toy because Justin Trudeau was swapped out with Mark Carney. And now as the kids are
00:01:25.060 playing with it, they're realizing that this is junk just like Justin Trudeau was. The tariff issue 0.98
00:01:29.800 was off the table for the Liberals. They're trying to keep it alive, but the thing's dead. There was no
00:01:34.400 direct sweeping tariffs on Canada from the United States. Yeah, there's the auto sector tariffs,
00:01:39.600 and there's steel and aluminum tariffs. Even then, a lot of this actually spells good things for
00:01:44.440 Canada with all the tariffs on other countries. Canada may become an import hub. Where other countries
00:01:49.160 import their stuff to Canada first, so then it can be manufactured a little bit further,
00:01:53.660 so then it can be moved to the U.S. without any tariffs. So, you know, there's a silver lining
00:01:59.180 there. But I want to get into some of the numbers that are coming out now, proving that the
00:02:03.180 Conservatives actually have a lot of national muscle. It's not just these sub figures that I'm
00:02:08.140 looking at saying that the Conservatives are doing well. Those were important. Now it's even the top
00:02:12.900 line numbers showing that the Conservatives are leading. Now, don't get me wrong. The Conservatives need
00:02:17.900 to do much better in order to actually pull a government out of this. The advantage the Liberals
00:02:22.880 have is that if their people actually do show up, they have a far more efficient vote because
00:02:28.520 the Conservatives will win a rural riding by Saddam Hussein numbers. They can win Athabasca like 1.00
00:02:35.100 they're Idi Amin, and it doesn't mean anything. They need to be able to win certain ridings in Ontario,
00:02:40.980 in British Columbia, in Quebec, in Atlantic Canada, if they want to nickel and dime their way up to at least
00:02:46.140 a minority government. And I consider a minority government a big win for the Conservatives because
00:02:51.200 if Polyev can even govern for five months, I think Canadians are going to see, oh, that's why he was
00:02:57.400 telling the Liberals that they should do this and that. This is at least getting a bit better with
00:03:01.740 the Conservatives in. You know, things aren't going to get much better until they have a majority, but
00:03:05.800 if they can even do a couple of the things they promised in a minority government, if they can even
00:03:11.560 get a partial version of it passed, if they then go to a new election within a year, they will easily
00:03:16.520 get a majority. So our goal as Canadians is just to get these people into a minority at least, so then
00:03:22.040 we can get a majority later. Can we get into majority now? Sure, but let's just focus on like Moneyball,
00:03:28.200 getting on base, let's just get across the finish line and get some form of a government. So before I get
00:03:33.320 into the numbers, guys, make sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel if you've been liking my
00:03:38.200 election coverage and then leave a comment. It helps the videos in the algorithm and I genuinely
00:03:42.840 like to scroll through and read the comments three or four times just scrolling through all the newest
00:03:48.120 ones to see what people are saying. Anyways, now without further ado, let's jump into the first pollster
00:03:55.000 I want to highlight today, and that is Abacus Data. Now this poll actually has its top line number in a
00:04:00.760 tie. We have the Conservatives at 39, Liberals 39, NDP 11, Block 6, Greens 3, and PPC 2. You will detect
00:04:09.560 that this is not quite 100%. There are a lot of undecided people out there still, as to be expected.
00:04:15.320 We are early on to an election, but this is an improvement for the Conservatives, considering that
00:04:20.440 it was just last week that they actually had the Liberals leading in their poll. But now, if you actually
00:04:26.280 dig down a little bit deeper, and I think that this is important to do, and you look at those saying
00:04:30.600 that they are certain to vote, you can see Shreya Teest here says new Abacus data poll among those
00:04:35.640 certain to vote, the Conservatives now have a lead of 2%. Liberals are down at 40, NDP 9, Block 6,
00:04:43.000 Greens 2, PPC 1. Now obviously both the Liberals and the Conservatives gain between just all voters and
00:04:49.080 certain to vote people because the NDP is a very squishy group of people these days. But what's most
00:04:54.600 interesting is, look, from last week's poll from Abacus data to this week, the Liberals with certain
00:05:00.200 to vote people have dropped one and the Conservatives have gone up three. So a four-point swing in a
00:05:06.280 single week has occurred between the Liberals and the Conservatives. If the Conservatives can even just
00:05:11.480 gain 1% a week right now in the certain to vote category over the Liberals, then we're easily in a
00:05:18.120 government. We are easily falling into governmental range for the Conservatives. They need to beat the
00:05:23.240 Liberals probably by two and a half to three points to get a minority government. They probably need
00:05:28.440 to beat them by eight points to get a majority. It's just the way Canadian politics works. Liberals
00:05:33.320 have an extremely efficient vote. They win a lot of their ridings with like 42%, whereas an average
00:05:39.240 Conservative riding is one with like 53% because of that heavy rural vote that the Conservatives have.
00:05:45.560 In the cities, their votes become far thinner and they need to be allocated properly
00:05:49.640 to actually pull a riding out. But now I want to jump over to a different pollster.
00:05:55.320 This one had the Conservatives like falling behind a lot last week. It was crazy how bad that they were
00:06:01.720 doing last week. And this is a pollster I trust, Innovative Research. And it might have just been
00:06:05.880 a really bad week for the Conservatives in that poll, but here is Sheree Attiste. He does a good job
00:06:10.680 presenting all this stuff on Twitter. Give them a follow their real Albanian patch or whatever,
00:06:16.200 real Albanian patriot. He's not even Albanian. It's like a joke or whatever. But new innovation
00:06:22.040 research poll, the Conservatives at 38%, Liberals 37%, NDP 12%, Block 6, Greens 4, and other two.
00:06:31.000 Now, obviously again, with the two top parties only in the upper 30s and the NDP at 12, there are a lot
00:06:37.320 of undecided people out there. So a lot of people that the Conservatives can still win over. And this is
00:06:43.160 a good poll, though, for the Conservatives. Because as the plus four and the plus one are representing
00:06:47.640 for the Liberals and the Conservatives, the Liberals have gained one percent since last week, but the
00:06:53.400 Conservatives have gained four. The Conservatives had a massive resurgence. And it's because,
00:06:58.440 frankly, not only has Pierre Pauly been generating massive amounts of enthusiasm and energy through these
00:07:05.960 record-breaking rallies. He had 6,500 people show up in Oshawa. He's had 5,500 people in Surrey.
00:07:15.160 And what's most impressive of all is actually 1,800 people, 2,000 people in Charlottetown.
00:07:21.320 PEI is a province of like 1,600, maybe 180,000 people. And he brought in like 1.2%, 1.3% of the
00:07:32.840 population to come and see him speak. That's massive. And I was told by people on the ground
00:07:38.440 there like, yeah, not many people drove in from out of province to that rally because you'd have to
00:07:42.840 drive in over like an hour and a half if you were coming from Nova Scotia or New Brunswick
00:07:47.960 at the closest. And so that demonstrates that even in a province where all three ridings last election,
00:07:54.520 and actually for the previous, I think three or four elections, have all gone Liberal. If the
00:07:59.000 Conservatives can even grab one, just one PEI seat, the Conservatives are really in business
00:08:04.760 in Atlantic Canada. Because my theory about this election is that we don't actually need the GTA.
00:08:10.360 Are there some GTA ridings the Conservatives could win? Sure, Mississauga, Brampton,
00:08:14.520 heavy South Asian populations who hate SOGI, hate gender theory, really hate taxes. Those people 1.00
00:08:20.760 might come out in droves and they're very hard to pull so that area of Canada will seem bright,
00:08:25.640 bright red, because it was red last time. And the polls will or the poll models will have a bias to
00:08:30.840 what they were last time. But those groups of Canadians are very apt to swing between the parties.
00:08:36.600 The one thing the Conservatives have to stop doing is stop kicking Hindu voters in the face. There was 1.00
00:08:41.640 a Hindu candidate for the Conservatives, I believe in Brampton, who was kicked out. And there was some
00:08:46.120 story like, oh, he was colluding with the Indian government. And that is basically just him sending
00:08:51.720 out a post on Facebook criticizing Kalistanis. Probably some idiot in the background of the 1.00
00:08:57.320 Conservative Party, rose a big fuss, you have to get rid of a rhyme out. And the party's like, 1.00
00:09:02.440 okay, we'll get rid of them. Dumb move, because guess who is the second most conservative voting 0.90
00:09:07.880 group in Canada after Evangelical Christians? Hindus. Hindus are hardcore Conservative voters. 0.99
00:09:13.720 Like, I think Evangelical Christians vote Conservative 76%. And then Hindus vote Conservative like 70%. So those 0.66
00:09:23.240 two groups like gun owners and business owners are like your bread and butter as conservatives. So you've
00:09:28.360 got to do something to get those people on side. Because in fact, I've seen Hindus are going to vote PPC 1.00
00:09:32.920 because they hit all the parties. But yeah. And so that's just to say you don't need the GTA,
00:09:39.000 although there's bright spots. What you need is Southwestern Ontario, you need Mississauga,
00:09:44.360 not Mississauga, blah, Niagara, you want Windsor, you want some of those ridings, you don't need all
00:09:49.000 of them, but you want some of them. You want to win East Ontario, you want to grab out one extra Ottawa
00:09:53.720 riding, you want to grab out like Thunder Bay, or James Bay, and then you just want it to be a standstill
00:10:00.200 in Atlantic Canada. If you can take half or even a third of the Atlantic Canadian provinces, perfect.
00:10:04.760 If you can then grab up about 10 seats in BC, great. If you can snag one extra seat in Alberta,
00:10:10.840 great. If you can snag one of the three territories, great. We are in business getting a minority 0.99
00:10:15.480 government. Again, the outskirts of Winnipeg is a great area for the conservatives. So that's just my
00:10:22.440 vision for what the conservatives need. If we are getting to that 170 number, or we're even trying to
00:10:29.160 get close to have the biggest plurality, you just need to sort of nickel and dime these bedroom
00:10:34.680 communities, suburban areas that have a little bit of rural mixed into them, or suburban parts of cities,
00:10:40.360 you can pick those up, you're ready to go. So I want to get into some other polls, I want to highlight
00:10:45.400 this, I've highlighted this in another video. And this again, this is a secret card in the back pocket
00:10:52.360 of the conservatives, that's going to make it far easier on election day. So as we're seeing these big
00:10:57.000 rallies, you'll see videos of pure poly of walking outside. And there's like working class guys there
00:11:02.600 who couldn't get in because it was too packed, who still want to like shake his hand, you know,
00:11:06.440 take a selfie with them. And they're like guys in their like, 20s, they're like 23 year old guys,
00:11:11.720 they're not political junkies like myself dressed up like, you know, Steve Urkel here.
00:11:16.200 They're guys in hoodies, jeans, they just got off of work, probably working with their hands somewhere,
00:11:21.960 and they still want to show up and see pure poly of. Do you think even though maybe those
00:11:26.760 guys were too young to vote last election, but those same type of guys, were they showing up
00:11:30.760 for O'Toole? Were they showing up for Andrew Scheer? I like Andrew Scheer, but I don't think
00:11:34.680 Scheer had the appeal to those type of younger working class men. Were they showing up for Harper
00:11:40.680 in 2015? I don't think so. I don't think that group of guys has ever shown up for anyone,
00:11:46.920 not even the Liberals, the NDP before. They didn't care. Maybe 2015, that type of guy voted
00:11:52.520 for the Liberals because of pot, but not this election. And that is why in the polls, they
00:11:58.680 might be heavily underestimating the Liberals because, or the Conservatives, because like
00:12:03.160 David Coletto from Abacus Data here shows, 46% of non-voters, people who did not vote in 2021,
00:12:11.160 people who are low propensity voters, 46% are going to vote conservative, saying they are
00:12:16.840 certain to vote. So these are non-voters saying they will vote this time, 46% voting conservative,
00:12:21.960 only 34 voting Liberal, and 11 NDP. And that's a hard group to poll. It's hard to tell because
00:12:28.680 I've been talking to some pollsters, talking to people who do poll modeling behind the scenes,
00:12:33.160 and they've told me that I am right on, that non-voters might swing all of these polls,
00:12:38.760 might show that all these polls are wrong, and the Conservatives might win like 42% in the vote,
00:12:43.400 and the Liberals only win like 36% or 35%. Because even if a non-voter is going to show up
00:12:50.440 and vote, it's very difficult to tell how big of the national poll or the national vote they're going
00:12:55.960 to make up. Because even if they're certain to vote this time, that doesn't mean that those 24-year-old
00:13:01.960 guys in their work clothes outside of a rally, they're not going to pick up a poll and answer one.
00:13:06.440 They're not going to join Leger and Angus Reid's poll sample online and start answering polls for
00:13:12.760 credit cards. They're too busy, you know, working a construction site or they work in some sort of
00:13:18.360 auto plant. They're not doing anything. They're landscaping. They're not doing anything online
00:13:23.400 or on the phone in the middle of the day. They're electricians. That's not their bag. And so many of
00:13:29.400 these pollsters, I had another one show me that their non-2021 voter poll, and again, it's hard to
00:13:35.800 get a massive sample size, but they still have like over 100 people answer this question. They said 50%
00:13:41.400 of their non-voter polls are showing that they're going for the Conservatives. That is wild. By the
00:13:48.120 way, I highlighted this in another video. I really hope the Conservatives do this because it's such a big
00:13:53.640 vote getting issue. I helped Kolosovski strategies put together a poll question. They just asked if I
00:14:01.800 wanted to include something, if I could generate an interesting idea. And we had agreed on a poll
00:14:06.120 about how much immigration should be reduced. And we pitched the idea to people, literally over 1100
00:14:12.600 respondents. Would you be okay with cutting immigration by 75% from around 450,000 people a year,
00:14:19.640 400,000, I think is exactly what it is right now, down to just 100,000? 75% of respondents
00:14:27.080 want the immigration to be reduced to only 100,000 permanent residents a year. And I know there's 1.00
00:14:32.200 always that kind of PPC guy who's like, why isn't it zero? Well, because you want a little flexibility.
00:14:36.520 What happens if a guy is leaving from Iran and he wants to work in oil and gas in Canada and he hates
00:14:41.320 the regime there? I'm not just going to be like, well, we don't have any room because we made it
00:14:44.840 artificially zero. Make it 100,000, have strict values tests and means tests and make sure that
00:14:50.680 people don't bring 10 dependents with them. And I think the immigration system can work. 100,000 is 0.97
00:14:55.720 well below how many houses we build, which helps a lot of young millennials and Zoomers actually be able 1.00
00:15:01.720 to buy housing who are still stuck in their parents' basement. Even in our poll, 75% of people wanting
00:15:07.000 it to be 100,000. Even the NDP, 58% of NDP voters think that's a good idea. 73% of liberals, 83% of
00:15:15.080 conservatives. This is something that I hope Polyev makes a big pivot on because her current promise is
00:15:21.160 saying, let's lower it to 200,000 to 250,000 because that's within the range of how many houses we build a
00:15:27.320 year. Sure, and I know it's not like each immigrant occupies one house, but you want the deficit of 1.00
00:15:34.680 immigrants to housing being built to be quite large for at least five to seven years so that 0.99
00:15:40.040 the markets can all settle back down. I've heard people say to me, well, people wouldn't go for
00:15:46.760 that because their housing prices would lower. It's like, guys, I'm taking off my glasses to
00:15:52.600 emphasize my seriousness here. Who cares? Who cares? You bought a house in the 90s or the early 2000s for
00:16:00.040 like $350,000. And it's like worth 1.7 million now. I get it. It was a great grab. Can you let
00:16:07.640 your house price fall $100,000 so that somebody can buy something else? Please. But anyways, I was
00:16:15.080 being a little bit snarky here for a second. But I just want to highlight now why exactly I don't trust
00:16:22.200 certain pollsters. So I just want to bring up the, what is it the numbers for? I want to bring up the
00:16:28.200 ECOS numbers. I'm not trying to be like a cheerleader. I'm not just highlighting polls
00:16:33.720 that are good for the conservatives. I do want the conservatives to win. And there are so many
00:16:37.480 people who are very doomerish out there. Every time a liberal poll comes out, a good liberal poll,
00:16:43.000 they're like, let's leave the country. Let's pretend we're different people, change our names,
00:16:47.960 move to Guatemala. It's not helpful. And so I tend to show the bright side of things. But I'm also 1.00
00:16:53.480 showing the realistic stuff. Because every time I say something about the polls, it tends to work
00:16:58.200 out. I've had people come to me like, Wyatt, you were wrong about BC. You thought the BC conservatives
00:17:02.600 were going to win. And then they didn't. Like, did you see how tight the election was? I said 75%
00:17:07.720 shot they win. The conservatives came within 200 votes in three ridings of winning. So, you know,
00:17:13.080 get off my back, man. But here's ECOS numbers. This proves why I discount certain pollsters.
00:17:20.360 This is their top line number, if I can find it. This is their, this is the sub numbers. I want to
00:17:26.600 find the top line numbers. Their sub numbers were absolutely insane. Okay, I don't think it really
00:17:32.200 matters. They had the liberals at like 48% and the conservatives at like 34. It made no sense at
00:17:39.080 all. Or actually 50%. See right here? Their poll had the liberals at 50.5, conservatives 33.1,
00:17:45.320 new democrats 6.9, and so on and so forth. They have the, they have the liberals leading in Alberta.
00:17:52.680 They have the liberals at 45% in Manitoba, 55% in Ontario, in Quebec 46% in the block only at 20%.
00:18:01.080 Atlantic Canada 67%. This is why I don't trust pollsters like abacus, sorry, like, like ECOS.
00:18:09.560 Abacus Innovative, Cole Solisky, Main Street, Main Street's even fairly bearish on the conservatives.
00:18:16.440 They tend to be pretty bearish on the conservative numbers, still have them trailing by like two and
00:18:21.160 a half. But they showed the liberals at the start of the race at like five and a half percent,
00:18:25.240 six percent lead. And it's been reducing over time as many of those soft liberals move back towards the
00:18:31.080 conservatives. But when I see ECOS putting out crap numbers like this, I stop caring what they're saying. 0.94
00:18:39.080 If you see any pollster say plus nine for any party, they're lying, or at least they suck at their 0.99
00:18:44.680 jobs. Do you really think this is a plus 10% election, a plus 15% election like this ECOS poll is trying to
00:18:51.560 claim for anybody? Not a chance. It's a knife fight. We know it's a knife fight. And we, it's probably
00:18:57.960 unlikely that any party is going to win a majority government at this point. I would give a 10% shot
00:19:02.760 that the liberals or conservatives get a majority government. It's just not that type of an election
00:19:07.480 right now. Even Nanos, when they put out a plus nine for the liberals that has them absolutely
00:19:13.160 front running it in Atlantic Canada, like 60%, not a chance. Do you see Polyevs crowds in the 1.00
00:19:20.200 Atlantic provinces? Do you see the fishermen protesting the liberals? Regular guys, you can
00:19:25.400 tell are not party activists, 150 of them showing up because they hate the liberals fishing policies
00:19:31.160 in their government. So we're like, what am I supposed to do? I'm not just highlighting things
00:19:37.240 because it's great for the conservatives because it doesn't do the conservatives one good thing
00:19:41.240 to lie about where they're at. I'm being realistic. I am wanting the conservatives to win and I am
00:19:46.440 highlighting numbers that demonstrate the path to victory. I can even show you the liberal path to
00:19:51.400 victory as well. It's not as interesting. It's really that they end up basically holding ground.
00:19:56.440 They hold on to Kingston and the islands. They hold on to Cambridge. They hold on to Kitchener-Conestoga.
00:20:01.720 They very much hold on to these suburban Ontario ridings. They make a few gains in Calgary. They
00:20:08.200 make some gains in Edmonton. It's mostly about where the liberals already do well. They hold on
00:20:13.080 and they expand. The conservatives have a much more eclectic path to victory. They need one seat
00:20:19.000 like in Montreal. They need an extra seat around Quebec City. They need another seat
00:20:23.400 out in like the they need to pick up Kingston. It's very much like targeted little areas that they
00:20:30.120 need where the liberals are just kind of like these big dense balls of urban ridings and if they can
00:20:34.520 expand their appeal a little bit out to the suburbs they can take the whole field. And so I always see
00:20:40.120 politics as kind of like a battle map. Like the conservatives will launch their ads and it's like
00:20:43.880 we had to hit the area with artillery then you send your troops in to take it. And the conservatives are
00:20:47.800 very much in this kind of clean that phase where they have a lot of these suburbs surrounded with rural
00:20:52.280 ridings and they need to now suck their volunteers out of those areas and start finding working class 1.00
00:20:57.480 neighborhoods in some of these communities that are very tired of how condescending the liberals have
00:21:02.520 been to people who are working class, people who work with their hands, who work in trades, business
00:21:06.920 owners. That's the profile of a conservative voter. The profile of a liberal voter is frankly somebody
00:21:13.320 who is retired and wealthy. Not all people, obviously a lot of you might fit that demographic but
00:21:19.080 you're conservatives. But there is a type of person who lives in suburban Toronto who is very well off.
00:21:25.640 They are insulated from all the bad policies they vote for and they are voting liberal because
00:21:30.200 my goodness I can't vote for that that Polyev guy. He's like Trump somehow. And even if you were to 1.00
00:21:35.080 ask them what Trump's done that's that bad, outside of tariffs they probably couldn't articulate anything.
00:21:40.360 I want to highlight this last thing. There's this like mission that CBC has been on. By the way,
00:21:46.440 they are being offered another 150 million dollars a year by Mark Carney. They just seem to go around
00:21:52.120 and complain that Polyev doesn't let them sit on his lap and like ask them questions all day long,
00:21:56.920 even though they've been constantly demonstrated to be like bad actors when they ask questions,
00:22:01.480 but take a look at this. This is our last day with the conservative campaign and we have faced some very
00:22:06.440 tough message control from the party, not only breaking with tradition in the sense that we are
00:22:11.560 not allowed to accompany the campaign, but also we've seen great control over the questions. We have not
00:22:16.760 been allowed to ask any questions during the week that we've been with the conservatives.
00:22:20.120 Uh, today we made an effort to get a question and they told us that we could ask one, but that it
00:22:25.880 had to be my colleague, Tom Parry, who asked the question. We responded that I was the one who had
00:22:29.800 the question and we preferred that I asked it. At that point, they took our question away and gave
00:22:33.800 it to another outlet. We've also seen efforts to find out. Good, good. Don't give them a question.
00:22:38.520 There's this big push liberals are doing right now to like make the CBC one of their big election
00:22:43.160 issues that we're going to save the CBC. How many people watch the CBC? It's like less than two
00:22:48.200 percent of Canadians. And there was this ridiculous article that came out like, oh, 0.94
00:22:52.040 but it's hurting rural people to take the CBC away. No, there's no, who do, who do you think
00:22:56.600 rural people are big CBC fans? They don't care. Oh, it's because sometimes CBC will cover something
00:23:01.880 that going on their town. They don't care. They don't care. There's already local outlets. And
00:23:07.000 frankly, a random guy on Facebook is probably doing a better job of keeping up on what's happening on city
00:23:11.960 council. The CBC employee that just reads whatever the council minutes are, writes up a crappy article
00:23:19.080 and quotes the most progressive person on city council and some activist who thinks that everything
00:23:23.000 needs to be rainbow colored. That's all they do. Nobody actually likes these people. And they're like,
00:23:27.880 oh, they took away our question and gave it to another outlet. Sorry, would the CBC cover back in
00:23:32.600 the day when True North and Rebel News and all the other independent outlets were banned from the
00:23:37.880 debates. They were not allowed to ask any questions. And whenever they did get a question
00:23:41.720 after having to sue get to get into debates, they would just get like attacked and bad mouth.
00:23:46.120 Is that not, is that something that the CBC has ever cared about? Of course not.
00:23:49.800 They deserve to take a walk in the snow. I'm like, they won't let us on their private jet.
00:23:53.880 As I said in my last video, um, the conservative campaign is going to spend
00:23:58.280 far less than probably $50 million in total. And you guys have a budget of 1.4 billion.
00:24:05.320 Plus they do get some ad revenue because naturally you cannot run a news outlet that
00:24:09.160 big and not generate some ad revenue. And they are somehow whining that they like,
00:24:14.360 we're not allowed on their private jet. Good, good. Literally anyone should be
00:24:18.280 occupying a seat instead of a CBC report. And CTV news tried to slander Polyev and Brian Patterson
00:24:24.280 at, uh, at like a news conference lat, like, uh, literally yesterday. And we're supposed to be
00:24:29.000 like, oh, the legacy media really needs to be engaged with more. Polyev should do more podcasts,
00:24:33.320 frankly. Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys. Uh, make sure to like the video,
00:24:38.040 subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, do all that great stuff, keep up with my federal
00:24:41.640 election coverage. And of course, uh, hopefully there's new polling news I can talk about in a
00:24:45.960 week, but I'm going to probably stake, stick more to sort of the rhetorical side of politics
00:24:49.960 in my next few videos. So anyways, see you guys later.
