The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Debunked： Leftists LIE about Alberta ＂banning＂ The Handmaid's Tale

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Today on the show, I need to tell you guys about the very obvious political operation being run against Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP government.

00:00:12.740 If you didn't already know, the Alberta government has ordered the school boards around the province to pull explicit and inappropriate materials from school libraries.

00:00:24.100 This is not controversial at all. In fact, most parents in Alberta approve of these actions.

00:00:30.000 But we have the left attempting to make Smith look like a fool by banning way more books on the school board level, pretending that this is exactly what Smith and the Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaitis wanted.

00:00:44.540 It absolutely isn't. What the Alberta government has been pushing for is banning books like Gender Queer.

00:00:51.260 And even then, it's not a book ban. You can still purchase these very strange books in the province if you want.

00:00:57.660 I don't know why you would want to, but you can. You just can't have children having access to them.

00:01:04.240 It would be like saying there is an alcohol ban because children under the age of 18 cannot buy alcohol.

00:01:10.640 There is a driving ban because people who do not have driver's licenses cannot drive.

00:01:16.440 People under the age of 14 cannot drive.

00:01:18.680 Obviously, these are just age restrictions, and the Alberta government rightfully wants age restrictions on extremely sexual materials that don't even have an educational purpose.

00:01:29.900 Gender Queer absolutely fits that category. 0.99

00:01:32.820 But what you have now is the Edmonton Board of Education suddenly banning 200 books saying that, oh, we're just trying to fall in line with what the Premier wants.

00:01:42.420 Because, no, they're not. And I'm going to be debunking this story as we go on, but how about we have Laura Babcock introduce us to what the left's position on this issue is.

00:01:53.500 But before we get to the clip of her, I do just want to quickly mention, hey guys, if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on this video.

00:01:59.360 Subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber.

00:02:02.140 Leave a comment on what you think, as well as if you live in the city of Calgary and you actually want a pretty conservative mayor.

00:02:08.760 Make sure to vote for Sonia Sharp and get a lawn sign. I have her lawn sign link linked in the description of this video below, as well as pinned at the top of the comments.

00:02:18.480 I will be doing polling videos later on on the Calgary race going over the numbers and why specifically Sonia Sharp is the best candidate if you actually want a conservative to win.

00:02:28.240 But that will be for another time.

00:02:30.560 Well, whatever. Take it away, Laura, and be crazy and show us why Daniel Smith's a very bad woman or whatever. 1.00

00:02:36.680 Daniel Smith banning books, including, guess what, The Handmaid's Tale, because, you know, if you don't want people to see the future you want, don't let them read the fucking book about it. 0.94

00:02:46.260 Yeah, so Laura still has never found her lithium. 0.79

00:02:51.320 She's just running around the streets, flashing her crazy eyes at people and talking about the end of the world. 0.95

00:02:57.420 I do eventually want to just show you later on in this video, I'm going to cut around to different clips of Laura Babcock talking.

00:03:04.640 She's like that all the time. 1.00

00:03:06.420 I'm also not being fair. I'm not clipping her out of context.

00:03:09.480 That's her own clip of herself.

00:03:11.620 Now I need to bring you guys to a CBC News article because, of course, if the political left is running an op, eventually you will have the mainstream left papers picking up the story and just running with the most surface-level details of it in order to embarrass the premier.

00:03:29.740 So we have here the title from the CBC article, says, Canadian author Margaret Atwood takes another shot at Alberta's book ban with satirical story.

00:03:40.200 List of banned books include The Handmaid's Tale and Brave New World.

00:03:44.340 Now, obviously, those books are not actually going to be banned.

00:03:48.520 Do you know how I know those books are not actually going to be banned in Alberta schools?

00:03:52.680 It's because you can actually use Brave New World as a book in classrooms.

00:03:59.000 In high school, you can use that as a book that the class reads together.

00:04:02.700 I believe The Handmaid's Tale can even be used.

00:04:05.220 And who's even brought that book up? 0.96

00:04:07.460 It's a silly left-wing book where they act like the great evil in the world is evangelical Christians who are going to act like Islamists and put women in bags and turn them into simply mothers and that is it. 0.95

00:04:19.640 But, like, you can read it. 0.98

00:04:21.740 It's not inappropriate. 0.99

00:04:22.960 It's really dumb. 0.96

00:04:24.460 But nobody was going after that book. 0.96

00:04:26.960 So it says down here, Atwood goes on to say that the duo never dies because who wants to dwell and they live happily ever after?

00:04:35.240 I'm just reading that part.

00:04:36.460 Basically, she was going on about how stories can only be happy and there can be no sexual content in it and whatnot and everything must be, you know, giddy and whatnot.

00:04:46.140 I just don't need to read her actual story.

00:04:48.240 But I want to go on to what she actually said about the premier.

00:04:50.920 Atwood says,

00:04:52.140 But while they were doing that, The Handmaid's Tale came true and premier Danielle Smith found herself with a nice blue dress but no job, she said, referring to the high-ranking wives of commanders in her book who wore blue while the handmaids in red garments were subjected to produce children for elite couples in a totalitarian and theocratic state.

00:05:14.640 The quote, the quote, the end from Atwood.

00:05:17.260 But she goes on this whole thing about how Danielle Smith wants The Handmaid's Tale to become true.

00:05:23.120 Yes, Danielle Smith, a famous atheistic, like, premier.

00:05:27.860 And I don't say that as a shot against her.

00:05:29.880 She's famously like the one MLA who, when she was being sworn in at the legislature, didn't want to swear in on any religious book.

00:05:37.800 This lady is not a big social conservative. 1.00

00:05:40.740 She just knows what is appropriate and inappropriate for children.

00:05:43.660 But this article goes on and says,

00:05:46.620 It was the second time Atwood has weighed in on the provincial book ban the Canadian author took to social media Friday to encourage people to get copies of The Handmaid's Tale before they have public book earnings of it.

00:05:59.400 Well, yeah, she doesn't have a financial interest in encouraging people to buy her book for a fake ban. 0.94

00:06:05.020 And then the article goes on to detail out and it says, detail out what happened.

00:06:14.440 It says, last week, the Edmonton Public School Board, one of Alberta's largest, announced it was yanking more than 200 books from its schools this year to comply with a July order by Alberta Education Ministry to remove books from school libraries that carry, quote, material containing explicit sexual content by October 1st.

00:06:34.000 The board's list of books it was removing gave the first glimpse of the impact of Alberta's book ban in schools. 0.75

00:06:40.480 And this is ridiculous.

00:06:42.900 It just goes on to act as if this is just fully in line with the Alberta book ban. 0.80

00:06:49.220 Again, it's age restrictions.

00:06:51.120 And in fact, you can have sexually explicit content written like text content in books that high school students can read.

00:07:00.740 You can have some of that content for more mature readers in schools, but they just don't want to have them have they don't want, you know, young middle school kids and elementary age kids to be able to have access to them.

00:07:13.860 That was the point of what the ministry was putting forward.

00:07:17.320 And notice how this isn't happening from, like, a central Alberta Board of Education, from a southern Alberta Rural Board.

00:07:25.600 This is happening from the Edmonton Board of Education.

00:07:29.000 Arguably, the most woke Board of Education in the province suddenly got all, like, you know, got all crazy about the ban and just banned 200 books.

00:07:38.100 And notice how they're basically just banning books that leftists really like.

00:07:42.740 They're not banning books that, you know, people on the right might have read.

00:07:46.160 They're just banning books in order to rile up the left in order to make a villain out of Danielle Smith. 0.99

00:07:52.700 This is what we call in politics the practitioner's veto.

00:07:57.040 You see, actual people who vote on new laws, the premier and even her ministers,

00:08:02.340 they don't literally go home at the end of the day and start piecing together how policies are going to be implemented.

00:08:09.760 They give the general details about how a policy is going to be done,

00:08:13.840 and then you have lower-level bureaucrats carry them out.

00:08:17.520 They are the practitioners of policy.

00:08:20.420 And the practitioners of policy on the Board of Education in Edmonton

00:08:24.560 are effectively trying to read into Daniel Smith and the UCP's order

00:08:30.380 to go as harsh as humanly possible on the ban 0.92

00:08:33.360 and just ban anything with slight sexual content in order to make Smith look ridiculous,

00:08:39.060 even though her and Minister Nicolaides, in their announcement,

00:08:42.800 were very clear that this is not meant to ban any book that has sexual content within it.

00:08:48.620 They're not banning Romeo and Juliet.

00:08:50.300 They're not banning Othello or anything like that.

00:08:52.680 Those are still going to be available for kids in certain grade levels.

00:08:56.960 But what you're doing is not having things like genderqueer on the shelves,

00:09:01.220 things that are just depicting sexual activity for no educational purposes whatsoever

00:09:06.860 in ways that you really shouldn't be showing to not only children but really anyone.

00:09:12.220 If someone had the book Genderqueer on their shelf in their house,

00:09:15.800 you should probably not want to be around them because that's very weird.

00:09:19.400 But the thing is, again, the Edmonton School Board is now going to go way over the top

00:09:24.180 and ban everything and then blame it on Danielle Smith, 1.00

00:09:27.240 even though no other Board of Education in Alberta has chosen to do this

00:09:31.440 because they're being run by far more rational actors.

00:09:34.860 But you will have outlets like the CBC and, like, CTV News and Global City TV

00:09:40.360 will just report it straight out.

00:09:42.160 Oh, this is a consequence of the book ban because they said it was a consequence of the book ban.

00:09:45.840 It's not a consequence of the book ban.

00:09:49.120 It's a consequence of the practitioner's veto.

00:09:52.460 You give an order and they carry it out in an incompetent way in order to embarrass you.

00:09:57.280 That is not real.

00:09:59.080 Now I just want to highlight other people who should know better

00:10:02.400 because maybe we could say maybe a doll writer at the CBC or Laura Babcock

00:10:07.480 are not actually equipped to understand right and wrong.

00:10:10.780 Well, I do want to call someone out who absolutely should know better,

00:10:15.340 who in fact would present themselves as somebody who is an educator, an expert on policy.

00:10:20.400 We have Dwayne Bratt, who actually taught on my master's program

00:10:24.820 at the University of Calgary for public policy.

00:10:28.200 And he says here,

00:10:29.560 First day of school in Alberta, and what are we seeing?

00:10:32.700 A book ban.

00:10:33.700 A ban on transgender athletes in school sports.

00:10:36.520 You mean biological men in women's sports. 0.55

00:10:39.100 Yes, Dwayne, very scary stuff.

00:10:41.500 I can't believe the women will not be beat by biological males anymore. 1.00

00:10:45.320 Truly, we are regressive here in Alberta.

00:10:47.980 And then he goes on and finishes,

00:10:49.640 And a specter of a province-wide teacher strike.

00:10:54.180 The province literally gave the teachers,

00:10:57.840 the teachers made an offer from the Alberta Teachers Association.

00:11:01.080 The province was basically like,

00:11:02.780 We agree to pretty much all of that.

00:11:04.320 And now they are striking anyways.

00:11:06.440 Because the ATA is an NDP front group.

00:11:10.200 They only act in order to try and push for the interests of the NDP.

00:11:15.720 Like most unions, the leadership of the unions doesn't actually care about their own members.

00:11:21.600 They care about leftism, because they are leftists.

00:11:24.800 And so the ATA is being obstinate on purpose in order to actually just effectively hurt the polling numbers of Daniel Smith.

00:11:33.640 Because have you seen the polling numbers?

00:11:35.920 Daniel Smith and the UCP are crushing Nahid Nenshi and the NDP.

00:11:41.040 Because nobody likes know-it-all Nahid Nenshi, who doesn't actually know squat.

00:11:45.640 And you know he doesn't know squat, because he, like Dwayne Bratt,

00:11:50.100 two professors who mostly worked at the Mount Royal University,

00:11:53.880 are presenting this as a book ban.

00:11:57.040 It is, yeah, kind of a book ban.

00:11:59.260 It's really just age restrictions.

00:12:01.540 Again, we don't call it an alcohol ban, because you can't drink until you're 18.

00:12:05.580 We don't call it a smoking ban, because you can't smoke until you're 18.

00:12:09.580 We don't call it a driving ban, because you can't drive until you have your learner's license,

00:12:13.820 then you're full license when you're 14 and 16.

00:12:17.540 And then you need to be licensed even if you're an adult and haven't taken the test yet.

00:12:21.480 But these guys are dull political hacks who are trying to make Smith look bad

00:12:26.180 by simply just parroting whatever is said about her that's negative.

00:12:29.560 Because they are leftists.

00:12:31.460 They don't actually care about the objective truth.

00:12:35.300 I am somebody who has criticized Danielle Smith on many occasions in the past.

00:12:40.760 I will probably in the future at times, not because I have a bone to pick with her,

00:12:45.880 but because if I see her do something that I don't agree with,

00:12:48.840 and I think that's out of step with what conservatives should be doing,

00:12:51.580 I'll say something about it.

00:12:52.800 I think she's actually improved a lot over the last year,

00:12:55.400 because last November, I actually voted against her in her leadership review,

00:12:59.000 because there was a lot of areas of policy I didn't think she was really moving fast enough on.

00:13:03.120 And then after that AGM, within a few months,

00:13:05.340 they actually did start proposing their tax cut.

00:13:07.700 They actually did come out with a surplus budget.

00:13:10.500 Things started getting better.

00:13:11.840 I'm like, okay, I can lend you my support now.

00:13:14.480 In hindsight, if I knew you were going to do this, now I would have voted yes.

00:13:18.160 And by the way, when I voted against her, I knew she was going to pass.

00:13:20.860 My whole thing was I symbolically wanted to show,

00:13:23.680 I don't want to give her 100% approval.

00:13:25.380 I want her to have that margin of no, of saying room for improvement.

00:13:31.000 And she has improved.

00:13:31.960 So hopefully, having some people actually out there saying,

00:13:35.540 hey, please move faster, did help them move faster.

00:13:38.060 If they're always planning on doing it, great.

00:13:40.100 But again, I'm not someone who's just here to pump up Daniel Smith's tires.

00:13:44.240 I call balls and strikes.

00:13:45.900 But when people call strikes, when no ball has been even thrown,

00:13:50.020 stop listening to them.

00:13:51.740 It almost turns out like they just want to call strikes on the Premier.

00:13:55.420 And now, I want to take a little bit of an aside to talk about digital ID in Alberta,

00:14:01.780 because I know this is something that people on the right are currently calling Danielle Smith out for,

00:14:06.920 that they are creating digital ID in Alberta, and why is she betraying us?

00:14:11.800 Guys, I have a record of calling her out on things.

00:14:14.520 I didn't like when she was celebrating high immigration numbers when she first came in.

00:14:18.220 She was very much pushing the TFW programs and wanting to increase Alberta's population. 0.75

00:14:22.760 And she came in with sort of seeming like she was going to weaken a lot of her policy stances.

00:14:27.580 She's improved on that stuff.

00:14:28.700 And now I give her credit for it.

00:14:30.460 But people, for some reason, want to find some negative angle of attack on Smith from the right,

00:14:36.640 when, in fact, she's actually doing a generally good job.

00:14:39.420 They're like, oh, she's betraying the separatists.

00:14:42.720 She was never a separatist.

00:14:44.120 She's betraying a group of people she was never a part of.

00:14:47.100 Oh, she's not letting the petition go ahead fast enough.

00:14:50.020 She should just put the referendum on the ballot next year. 0.70

00:14:53.860 Why should she?

00:14:54.820 It's not her job to do that.

00:14:56.380 She's already lowered the threshold for signature so you can get on the ballot.

00:14:59.680 Just because Thomas Lukaszek has tried to basically stall your petition doesn't mean that she now has to step in on your behalf.

00:15:07.680 But this digital ID thing, they're like, oh, my goodness, digital ID coming to Alberta.

00:15:11.820 What they mean is you can digitize some of your government records using a government application because, of course, it's going to be run by the government for you to be able to get things like birth certificates and driver's licenses and marriage certificates on your, like, basically on an app if you want to be able to save them.

00:15:31.120 So that's not digital ID.

00:15:33.560 Digital ID is if that was also connected to your credit card and you needed this ID in order to access different things.

00:15:40.520 That's not what's going on.

00:15:42.260 This is as much as digital ID as you going onto your Apple wallet and scanning your license onto it.

00:15:48.540 This is just a portal so that you can get these things digitized if you want.

00:15:53.960 That is not digital ID.

00:15:55.260 So anyone going around saying that should be discredited or they're just being kind of a bit of a crank.

00:16:01.100 They just want to find a problem with Daniel Smith.

00:16:03.160 So everything becomes like digital ID.

00:16:05.780 It's not digital ID.

00:16:07.380 It is digitized documents.

00:16:10.480 Digital ID, the sorts of things that you have in communist China, is when every time you purchase something, the government sees what you purchased and where you purchased it, and they can pull your right to purchase it at will.

00:16:21.720 That is not what is going on here.

00:16:23.920 And if you think that the government has to be, like, artificially low-tech and do everything on paper just so there's no digital element to it, you're just wrong.

00:16:32.540 I'm sorry.

00:16:33.480 It's not digital ID for the government to technically be able to get a warrant to be able to get an IP-like search on you because you may have violated the law.

00:16:43.160 That is different.

00:16:44.360 That is just normal abilities to go through courts to get access to information.

00:16:49.120 I don't want the government to have automatic access.

00:16:52.240 That would be digital ID where IP, your, you know, your Wi-Fi provider must give them a readout on everything that you do online.

00:17:00.800 That would be a violation.

00:17:02.460 That's not what's going on now.

00:17:04.100 And nothing the Alberta government is currently doing would touch that at all.

00:17:08.340 Anyways, now I do want to just end this video off on something funnier because now I feel like I need to come down the other side of this video and just have fun.

00:17:17.940 So I want to show you what the Laura Babcock show is like, the O show.

00:17:23.660 It is prestigiously crappy. 0.94

00:17:27.200 It is. 0.79

00:17:27.620 I'm just going to show you.

00:17:28.740 I'm just going to let it play for 30 seconds and prove that, yes, she is like this all the time. 1.00

00:17:33.040 And then I'm going to jump around the show and show you that, no, she is 11 out of 10 all of the time.

00:17:38.540 Her eyeballs are physically trying to leave her face at least 15 times in a 40-minute episode. 0.99

00:17:46.540 Let's talk about Daniel Smith.

00:17:48.840 I mean, banning books, gerrymandering.

00:17:51.780 Keith, how far further down the I want to be part of America does the premier of Alberta have to go?

00:17:59.300 Bonnie Critchley said on the...

00:18:00.580 What is she talking about gerrymandering?

00:18:02.600 There's no gerrymandering in Canada.

00:18:05.520 Sometimes the boundaries of writings change, but it has to be done on like a mathematical basis that this writing now has too many people.

00:18:14.440 So let's take one neighborhood out that roughly has a good amount of people and add it to another one to basically even them out.

00:18:21.940 You can't just like draw lines around specific homes in order to include them in your district.

00:18:26.580 The idea that she's doing that is just someone like Laura Babcock attempting to Americanize Canadian politics because she doesn't know anything about her own country. 1.00

00:18:35.960 So she constantly views her own country through the lens of like far left coverage of the U.S.

00:18:42.240 show show when she was on a couple of weeks ago.

00:18:44.300 And by the way, she'll be an Alberta correspondent for us, I hope.

00:18:47.800 She said, you know, that that that Daniel Smith is a trader who's selling out the country, selling out Alberta one piece at a time.

00:18:55.240 I haven't used that language around Daniel Smith.

00:18:57.020 But where are you, Keith, as you're watching this premiere undermine, I think, our sovereignty every time she opens her mouth?

00:19:03.180 But it's it's it's mesmerizing how, by the way, the other two people might as well put on blonde wigs because they are just Laura Babcock who happen to be men in different locations.

00:19:15.920 These people have no thoughts of their own.

00:19:17.820 And even her asking a question, it wasn't a question.

00:19:20.300 She basically just said, did you agree with my insane tirade?

00:19:22.620 And they're like, oh, I did agree with your insane tirade.

00:19:24.800 Let's even show it.

00:19:25.640 Well, I mean, Smith, Premier Smith put out a video this week talking about how so many billions of Alberta tax dollars are going directly to Quebec and electing liberal politicians that then refuse to help enact policies that help Alberta.

00:19:41.560 This is such a misrepresentation of the equalization program in Canada.

00:19:45.760 I fortunately or unfortunately spent about 10 years in a row covering the annual premiers meetings.

00:19:50.940 Almost all of them were focused on equalization during that time.

00:19:53.420 So I got to know quite a bit about this file.

00:19:55.640 And of course, there's always times when it looks unfair to somebody else.

00:19:58.640 But let's be clear right off the bat, Alberta individuals and Alberta businesses pay exactly the same level of taxes as people in the rest of Canada.

00:20:06.740 No one contends this.

00:20:09.760 Where does this come from, where people act like people who oppose equalization, like the current system, or at least how disproportionate it is?

00:20:17.040 Nobody thinks that if you make $150,000 in Alberta and you make $150,000 in Ontario or Quebec that you pay different amounts of taxes to the federal government.

00:20:27.700 Nobody thinks that.

00:20:29.340 The thing that people think, rightfully so, is that because the equalization system is trying to make it so that there's a certain level of per capita public spending in every province, like there's a minimum amount.

00:20:40.300 Because Alberta has like $11,000, $12,000 per person, like per capita, like public service spending, it's somewhere around that.

00:20:48.560 It's quite good in Alberta because we produce a lot.

00:20:51.800 You then, when you pay money to the federal government, the federal government, a lot of what the federal government does is just gives money out to run public services and other provinces.

00:21:01.240 They give top-ups to the provinces who don't have enough per capita spending based on the arbitrary measure that it should be around like $9,000 per capita.

00:21:11.660 So that means the Maritimes, the territories, Quebec, Manitoba, some, it depends with Manitoba and Ontario and like British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

00:21:24.120 Sometimes they have provinces, sometimes they have not provinces and get top-ups.

00:21:27.520 Alberta basically is always, they have province, so they're always giving other people top-ups.

00:21:32.320 The whole idea is that when you give money to the government of Canada, disproportionately the other provinces who do not perform very well economically get a disproportionate amount of federal transfers for social service spending.

00:21:47.660 And the problem is, is that it incentivizes provinces to never fix themselves, to never help their own economies grow properly.

00:21:54.720 Because, well, if the economy actually starts taking off, we might have some of the federal dollars clawed back.

00:22:00.240 Because if we actually lower our own taxes and we actually, you know, do better social spending ourselves,

00:22:06.780 well, maybe the government's not going to start sending us another $1,500 per person in our province because we're actually self-sustaining.

00:22:13.240 It's a welfare trap and it's a welfare trap that Alberta is paying for, so it actually sucks for everybody. 1.00

00:22:20.240 So this guy, I was around the boards for 10 years, so I know quite a bit about this.

00:22:26.140 And then he puts out some like misnomer point that nobody makes and like debunks a straw man.

00:22:30.780 Like, dude, get out of here.

00:22:32.160 Everyone knows what the actual problem is and you're not vocalizing it.

00:22:37.320 Like, you're not actually engaging honestly with what people have a problem with.

00:22:41.520 But now I just want to jump around this episode to show you, whenever Laura's talking, it's always the same thing.

00:22:47.480 We were relaxing last week and I'm glad you got some sun.

00:22:50.100 Other than the intro.

00:22:51.240 I'm going to get to the non-intro stuff.

00:22:52.720 But what we're going to get in the past, people will go to the prison.

00:22:56.240 ...Baptist home that's much closer to Christofascism than I hated it.

00:23:01.060 I have never seen a leader of the opposition denigrate the country in trying to take cheap shots at the leaders to become part of their country.

00:23:09.840 That flirt on media about mostly people.

00:23:14.460 Really?

00:23:15.220 ...running again is sickening on its face.

00:23:18.300 I mean, we were laughing about it last night, honestly.

00:23:19.920 But this, it's not a distraction.

00:23:22.280 This crime narrative is not a distraction.

00:23:24.420 I mean, I think our sovereignty every time she opens her mouth.

00:23:28.340 Well, I mean, Smith... 0.80

00:23:29.900 ...is something deeper and more mournful, right?

00:23:32.740 So, yeah, you know what?

00:23:34.180 Is the world going to blow up?

00:23:34.980 I don't know.

00:23:35.460 But I think that we are in a world war.

00:23:37.180 I think maybe even the new Pope might have said that.

00:23:38.940 I don't want to misquote him.

00:23:40.240 Their social media with praise.

00:23:41.880 You, you know, you make sure that the good guys are getting the wind behind their back.

00:23:46.300 That they need to do this.

00:23:48.140 How do we fight back?

00:23:49.380 Yeah, this is literally the whole episode.

00:23:51.600 I'm not cutting her out of context.

00:23:53.740 I am cutting to random points of the episode.

00:23:55.740 And she's like, World War III.

00:23:58.080 We need to be getting into war mode.

00:24:00.860 And we need to be online.

00:24:02.320 We need to be supporting people.

00:24:03.720 Every time she opens her mouth, the sovereignty of the country starts degrading further and further.

00:24:09.800 It's like...

00:24:11.540 Get some lithium.

00:24:13.920 Get some lithium.

00:24:14.720 Like, legitimately, that's not even me trying to be snarky.

00:24:19.120 Okay, it's mostly me trying to be snarky.

00:24:21.460 But my point is that, like, goodness, you actually need to log off the internet if this is your emotional control when talking about Canadian politics.

00:24:31.020 Things in this country are quite bad, especially from a conservative perspective.

00:24:35.380 Things are not going in the right direction.

00:24:37.300 I also, in my Bill Cosby dad sweater, can remain calm.

00:24:42.520 Because guess what?

00:24:43.580 I'm an adult.

00:24:44.940 These people are not adults.

00:24:46.580 The other two guys are able to kind of hold it together a little bit more.

00:24:50.620 But, like, goodness, you are...

00:24:52.740 These people own their own homes.

00:24:54.560 They live in nice neighborhoods because they have a lot of money at their disposal and they can sit around nattering about nothing on a podcast.

00:25:00.940 And they still act like everything is the worst it's ever been.

00:25:05.620 Except for all the things they want to praise the liberals for.

00:25:07.940 But in terms of, like, the state of the world and right-wing politics coming to get them.

00:25:13.520 It's like, you guys need a hobby.

00:25:17.500 Goodness.

00:25:18.200 Like, just do anything.

00:25:19.120 Go golfing.

00:25:20.020 Just go golfing.

00:25:20.860 Although I don't think we should give Laura heavy metal objects to swing around. 1.00

00:25:24.300 That might be a bad idea.

00:25:25.760 But I am amazed that she comes back every single few days and she puts out another show. 0.99

00:25:32.420 The scary thing is some people actually watch this crap. 0.99

00:25:36.020 Like, I am terrified. 0.98

00:25:38.100 It's not good numbers.

00:25:39.280 But the fact that she's getting over 4,000 views for some of this stuff is a little bit scary.

00:25:44.740 I was kind of disappointed.

00:25:45.820 I saw Spencer Fernando did an episode with her.

00:25:50.380 And I understand that he doesn't like a lot of members of the right who end up retro, like, you know, reflexively being like, you know, Carney and Trudeau are really left-wing and cringe and they support Ukraine, ergo I support Russia.

00:26:03.100 It's still pretty rare to find people like that, but, like, just because some people on the right do that.

00:26:08.760 Don't go on to Laura Babcock's show, the lady who can't find Ukraine on a map until 2022. 0.91

00:26:15.120 She only cares about Ukraine because she's supposed to care about it. 0.90

00:26:18.660 Did she care back in 2014?

00:26:20.620 No.

00:26:21.200 Did she care about Georgia being invaded 2008?

00:26:24.000 No.

00:26:24.220 She probably blamed that on George W. Bush for no reason because she is a left-wing hack. 1.00

00:26:29.780 But anyways, with that being said, that should be it for this video, guys.

00:26:33.940 It kind of turned into a multi-topic episode, but hopefully you like this sort of thing.

00:26:38.900 Anyways, well, if you like the video, make sure to leave a like on it.

00:26:42.340 Subscribe if you're not yet a subscriber, leave a comment.

00:26:45.100 And, of course, if you live in the city of Calgary, make sure to get a sign for Sonia Sharp.

00:26:49.660 Again, I will be doing a video breaking down the Calgary mayoral polling and why I think she is the most effective candidate to win.

00:26:57.740 If you're thinking, well, Jeremy Farkas could beat Jody Gondek, I think we can shoot a little bit better than, like, only 10% better than Gondek.

00:27:06.080 It's so weird seeing the transformation of Jeremy Farkas.

00:27:11.020 He went on some spirit journey from the Mexican border all the way up, walking to Canada, hiking.

00:27:16.600 I think he raised a bunch of money for Canada, the Boys and Girls Club of Canada.

00:27:20.400 Good job.

00:27:21.420 Also, he's just a left-wing hack now who believes in big spending programs and promising grab-bag-style politics to everyone.

00:27:28.500 Oh, you want something? I'll give it to you if you elect me.

00:27:31.100 It's like he wants to be elected so badly.

00:27:34.320 He is trying to turn himself into Nenshi. 0.95

00:27:37.080 And he was even running a podcast with Nenshi at one point, or at least they were always both duo guests on a specific show.

00:27:43.900 It was embarrassing.

00:27:44.980 But he still kind of walks around like he's old Jeremy, which I find so hacky.

00:27:49.780 Nothing's changed other than the fact that he has completely changed his electoral coalition and his entire platform

00:27:55.720 because he wants the lefty backing for the election, but also trick all the old people on the right who voted for him last time.

00:28:03.640 Anyways, so that should be it for this video, guys.

00:28:06.700 I will see you guys later.

00:28:08.380 We'll see you guys later.
