Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Honestly, when I made my video yesterday talking about the
00:00:06.340
difficulties for Mark Carney's Liberal Party going into the Conservatives' motion vote today,
00:00:12.580
I assumed they were still going to vote for the Conservatives' motion on Carney's own
00:00:18.320
Memorandum of Understanding he signed with Alberta Premier Daniel Smith. But they didn't.
00:00:23.880
I thought it was like a 90 to 100% sure thing that at least the vast majority of Liberals were going
00:00:31.260
to vote for their own MOU. This is an electoral disaster for the Liberals. Do you think any
00:00:38.820
business Liberals are going to vote for the next election? Well, maybe some, but they're losing
00:00:44.160
heavy amounts of them over to the Conservatives. And the funny thing is that by signing the MOU in
00:00:50.300
the first place with Daniel Smith, even though it's going to result in approximately zero pipelines,
00:00:55.540
it already ticked off the green part of the Liberal Party. They had Stephen Gilbeau resigned from the
00:01:01.680
cabinet for the MOU being made in the first place. And then when they had to follow through in the
00:01:06.900
House of Commons when the Conservatives forced them to vote on their own MOU, they couldn't even do
00:01:11.060
that. So they have found a perfect way, triangulated a way to tick off everybody. And I am absolutely
00:01:18.720
here for it. Let's take this thing from the top. I want to start off with some videos from some of
00:01:24.340
the Liberal MPs setting up the narrative for why they were going to vote against their own MOU. And
00:01:30.060
then I want to get into the exchange between your Polyev and Prime Minister Mark Carney in the House
00:01:35.980
of Commons today. But before I get into it, I do just want to remind you guys that if you like the
00:01:40.800
show, make sure to leave a like on this video, subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber,
00:01:46.180
and then, of course, leave a comment on what you think about all this. I do like to scroll through
00:01:51.200
and see what people's opinions are on the news of the day. But let's start off here with Corey Hogan,
00:01:58.860
who is in fact the Liberal MP for the riding of Calgary Confederation, the only Liberal in the city of
00:02:07.080
Calgary. And he was the one who actually first came out to start setting the table for why the Liberals
00:02:17.920
the Conservatives' pipeline motion is an unserious stunt that tries to score points at the expense of
00:02:23.520
our nation. A yes vote could undermine consultation, a no vote could undermine confidence. Canada loses
00:02:30.080
either way. Now, you'll remember from yesterday and the previous day before that, I read the motion
00:02:36.220
on both of those videos. It includes the idea that we should build a pipeline to the West Coast,
00:02:42.800
that we should suspend the tanker band so we can actually export our oil and gas products,
00:02:47.600
and that we should consult with First Nations. Now, I don't even think the consultations should be
00:02:52.480
necessary. Because frankly, when you consult with First Nations band councils, it's kind of insulting to
00:02:58.580
pretend you're even talking to First Nations people. First Nations are also just Canadians.
00:03:02.460
They're Canadians like everyone else, and talking to a left-wing activist-run band council does not
00:03:08.900
mean you're actually talking to the average First Nations person, who is in fact very supportive of
00:03:14.100
pipelines. But that's another issue for another day. Carney and all this has wanted to seem like
00:03:19.900
Mr. Pipeline by signing the MOU, but he's never actually wanted to follow through. That's why he baked
00:03:25.140
in all these vetoes for the province of British Columbia and for First Nations band councils.
00:03:30.580
But let's now get to Corey Hogan in this video, trying to effectively smear what Polyev is doing
00:03:37.360
here, but really all he's doing is revealing that Polyev is a smart politician and the liberals kind of
00:03:43.580
I want to talk about this motion from Pierre Polyev. Out of a big and comprehensive MOU between the
00:03:49.120
governments of Canada and Alberta, it picks one clause and one possible route, the one that requires
00:03:54.720
revising the tanker band, and enforces a vote on it. And we got to be clear, we all know exactly why the
00:04:00.280
conservatives move this motion. It is not to make a pipeline built. They are hoping to score cheap
00:04:04.920
political points by upsetting a delicate balance.
00:04:08.560
The political points here, Corey, are only cheap because the liberals put their MOU in writing and
00:04:15.980
the conservatives could just make it a motion. It's just because they're cheap points doesn't mean
00:04:21.720
that Polyev isn't absolutely right to score the points. They're literally scared of voting for
00:04:27.720
their own MOU. Oh, well, it's only it's cherry picking parts of the MOU that that Polyev wants
00:04:33.620
us to vote on. Is that wrong? It's he's just basically shrinking the MOU into saying, well,
00:04:41.160
do you want a pipeline built? Regardless of all the extra details? Do you want a West Coast pipeline
00:04:46.380
built? And will you be willing to get the tanker band out of the way so we can actually export?
00:04:50.380
That's all it's saying. And even throws out the olive branch of saying, you know, consultations,
00:04:54.680
that's fine. But will we build one? That's all that is being asked. And the fact that they are
00:04:59.960
trying to kick out of this just demonstrates that they were never serious about a pipeline.
00:05:04.400
Again, Carney wanted all the credit for signing it, but he wanted none of the negatives from the
00:05:09.300
political left for having actually built a pipeline. So he wants all the business liberals to
00:05:13.900
pat him on the back and not kick off the green liberals too much. The funny thing is the green
00:05:19.260
liberals are never satisfied with anything. That's why Stephen Gilbeau left cabinet. That's
00:05:23.100
why there are a lot of environmentalists mad at Carney for merely signing that piece of paper.
00:05:27.820
And the business liberals are ticked because they can't vote for the MOU, which is basically
00:05:31.360
saying, yeah, we were lying to you the entire time. These people are going to go back and either
00:05:35.380
on the left start voting NDP or green, or on the right, they're going to start voting for the
00:05:39.260
conservatives. And I'm saying like the left and right flanks of the liberal party.
00:05:42.760
They want us to vote on one side of the ledger. They want us to vote on one possible interpretation
00:05:47.320
and that the country will suffer is of no interest or concern to them.
00:05:53.040
Yeah, we're going to suffer by voting in favor of the idea we should build a pipeline.
00:05:57.080
Oh my goodness. They want us to vote on one side of the ledger or the other.
00:06:00.480
Well, that's kind of how votes work in parliament. Like I know that Corey hasn't been an MP for that
00:06:05.260
long, but I feel like you would have figured that out eventually that yes, it's either yay or nay.
00:06:09.100
If we vote yes, it can be interpreted we are betraying our duty to consult First Nations.
00:06:15.540
That we're not consulting with the province of BC. If we vote no, it can be interpreted to
00:06:20.340
businesses in the province of Alberta and we're not serious about a pipeline.
00:06:24.320
Because you're not. Yes. Like 100%. Yes. Yes. Yes. That is what a no vote means. And that is what
00:06:32.120
the business community is taking away from their no vote today. Oh my goodness. Polyeth has put us in this
00:06:37.940
silly political trap. It's only silly because you allowed it to trap you.
00:06:42.780
If the liberals were smart and if they weren't so ideologically left, Carney would have said
00:06:47.660
yesterday on Twitter, on X, absolutely we're voting for it. Of course we'll vote for our own MOU.
00:06:53.680
Yeah, I think you've cherry picked language from it, but yeah, we're generally in favor of what our MOU says.
00:06:58.480
That's what they would have said. But the thing is, they're going to nitpick it because it doesn't
00:07:02.840
include every single little stipulation and detail from the MOU. And even then they probably didn't want to
00:07:07.180
vote for it because even when the MOU came out, liberal MPs like Tlaib Nur Muhammad and Nate
00:07:12.920
Erskine-Smith and Jonathan Wilkinson and Stephen Gilbeau and all these other people, they started
00:07:17.520
coming out of the woodworks and saying, well, hey, remember the BC, the province of BC still has a
00:07:22.660
veto and First Nations still have a veto. They still have to sign on to it because they don't want to
00:07:26.900
build a pipeline and they're trying to ensure the left side of their base. Don't worry, this is not
00:07:30.360
going to turn into anything. And so they don't want to vote on anything that makes it seem like they
00:07:34.440
actually might act forced through a pipeline and not allow the BC government and First Nations have
00:07:39.760
a veto, which they shouldn't have in the first place. This is all we need is for Carney to sign
00:07:44.180
off on it. That is why this is so maddening. All we need is Carney. So either option could reduce the
00:07:50.440
chances of the pipeline actually being built. That's ridiculous. Now, Pierre Polyev knows this.
00:07:56.920
If he didn't, it would show a disqualifying level of incompetence for somebody who wishes to be
00:08:01.460
prime minister in such times. This is an unserious stunt that tries to score points
00:08:07.000
at the expense of our nation and our nation's economy. And it just underlines how not ready
00:08:12.480
for leadership he is. Yeah. Supporting a pipeline means you're not ready for leadership. And by the
00:08:17.040
way, in this video, has he, has he been literally holding a headset in his hand? Like it's a microphone,
00:08:22.300
like look down there, you can kind of see it. Like what, what is he doing here? He's literally
00:08:26.520
holding a microphone headset in his hand as his microphone for the video. If you're Corey Hogan's
00:08:33.280
office staff, I can show you how Best Buy works. You can go buy him a proper microphone. This isn't
00:08:38.660
difficult. They have quite large budgets. So this is strange that they couldn't figure this out.
00:08:44.900
Let's, I want to jump ahead to Corey Hogan or I want to jump ahead. I know I do. I think we might
00:08:52.520
want to talk about the liberal who voted against all, another liberal who voted against this. They
00:08:58.700
all voted against it, but another guy who tried to make a statement before the actual vote. This being
00:09:04.760
Eric St. Pierre. Let's jump over to this guy who made somehow a worse quality video than Corey Hogan.
00:09:15.160
Eric St. Pierre, who is the MP from Honor Mercier, Mercier, I can't speak French, sorry. He says,
00:09:21.900
tonight I will be voting against the conservative motion re the Canadian Alberta MOU. Here are the
00:09:27.820
reasons why, and we will hear him out here, guys. Hi, so later tonight in the House of Commons,
00:09:34.020
we will be voting on a conservative motion, which cherry picked language from an MOU with Alberta.
00:09:38.880
Here are the reasons why we'll be voting against this stunt of a motion. One, it fails to mention
00:09:45.160
British Columbia. That's convenient. It's literally all the motion is doing is asking if you're generally
00:09:51.240
in favor of a pipeline. It's supposed to be simple. It's not supposed to be complicated. Are you in
00:09:55.440
favor of a pipeline? It's not legislation. It's literally a motion. To mention, secondly,
00:09:59.720
that First Nations consent. Third, fails to... It literally does that. I don't even know how he
00:10:05.020
gets this wrong. Although he did say First Nations consent, and I'm like, well, of course,
00:10:09.580
First Nation ban councils shouldn't have consent. They shouldn't be able to just say, oh, no,
00:10:15.180
we're not allowing you to build something. You can't have people just stopping national energy
00:10:20.500
projects. That's ridiculous. No ban council should have the power to do that. And again,
00:10:24.980
the idea that these people speak on behalf of First Nations is frankly racist. Like, oh,
00:10:29.860
we have these left-wing activists who sit on the ban council, and they're telling us what First
00:10:33.740
Nations people think. No, they're saying what they think, and they probably have incentives to be
00:10:39.220
anti-pipeline because they are leftists who come from activist backgrounds and non-profits.
00:10:44.000
To mention the industrial carbon price of $130 a ton. That is essential. Fourth, doesn't mention
00:10:50.760
methane regulations. Fifth, it says one or more pipelines, whereas the MAU says private sector
00:10:56.300
constructed and finance pipelines. These are differences without an actual point, okay? It
00:11:04.440
doesn't mention the industrial carbon tax and the methane regulations. It says,
00:11:09.220
one or more pipelines rather than like, you know, a privately, you know, a private pipeline,
00:11:14.780
like privately funded. How is this? The whole point is the motion is just saying, are you in
00:11:20.040
favor of a pipeline going to the West Coast and getting rid of the tanker ban so we can export oil
00:11:23.840
and gas? That's literally all it does. They are trying to turn this into a complicated issue when it
00:11:29.840
is dirt simple. Big difference there. The MAU also talks about indigenous co-ownership, which got
00:11:35.760
conveniently taken out of this motion. Listen, this motion is ambiguous. It's a pure stunt. Clear no to
00:11:42.620
me. It's an attempt to divide. And let's face it, conservatives only know one thing, division. They
00:11:48.160
remain divided in their party. I know because their members have resigned. Their members have crossed the
00:11:52.860
floor. Okay. No, no. Matt Gennaro is going to resign in the spring. I don't know why people have said
00:12:00.160
it's because he had prior reasons for wanting to have, wanting to leave. His family's living in
00:12:04.740
different cities and now he's living away from them. So he wants to, you know, retire from politics.
00:12:09.680
That doesn't matter. Chris Dontremont crossed the floor, but it's like, who cares? Stephen Gilboa just
00:12:16.820
resigned from cabinet. Freeland's going to be resigning from the liberal party coming in 2026,
00:12:23.020
or maybe even the latter half of this year, because she's taking a job that requires her to be in
00:12:27.120
Oxford, England. Jonathan Wilkinson is rumored to be leaving to take a position as the UK high
00:12:32.940
commissioner for Canada. We have Nate Erskine-Smith likely to leave to go run for the Ontario liberal
00:12:39.060
leadership. What is, okay, they're bringing this up as if it's somehow unique to the conservatives having
00:12:45.880
leadership struggles. The liberals have it worse. And in fact, Chris Dontremont left for such petty
00:12:51.840
personal reasons. You really can't read into that as, oh, there must be other people wanting to
00:12:57.020
leave. Well, I don't think there was anyone else who was demanding to be deputy speaker and was
00:13:01.280
going to leave if they weren't given it, the role, or I think they would have already left by now.
00:13:05.520
The conservatives try to divide Canadians rather than keep us united. That's why I'm voting against
00:13:10.560
this conservative nonsense. Oh my goodness, guys. Literally voting on your own words is now
00:13:16.400
considered conservative nonsense. Right before we get to the exchange between Polyev and Mark Carney,
00:13:24.880
the, obviously the prime minister. I just want to jump over to, what was, do we have the vote total
00:13:31.500
here? Ah, there we go. So Marty up north, he has a good post on it right here. And he goes a little bit
00:13:41.160
into the fact that confederation doesn't work. And I know Marty is more of a separatist. I am not.
00:13:46.800
But he is right that the bait and switch on stuff like this is what is causing tension in Alberta.
00:13:51.900
Marty up north, Marty Bellinger here says, the motion to build a pipeline was defeated by a vote
00:13:57.340
of 196 against versus 139 for. Every party in the House of Commons except the conservatives are
00:14:03.920
against building an oil pipeline. The MOU that Smith signed with Ottawa is not even worth the
00:14:08.640
paper it's written on. Alberta can't have nice things. Time to admit that confederation has failed
00:14:13.180
experiment and go on our own. And again, I don't agree with Alberta going on its own because he even
00:14:19.100
admits in the post that if you got actually conservatives into office, there would be a
00:14:23.660
pipeline being built right now. And they're not that many seats away from being able to beat
00:14:27.300
the liberals. And in fact, the liberals are attempting to beat themselves right now by
00:14:31.300
ticking off all of their voters by both signing the MOU and not actually being able to stay committed
00:14:36.120
to the MOU. But like, I think I said something where it seemed like I was going to say something
00:14:44.840
else there. But regardless, though, like the liberals are responsible for a lot of the tensions
00:14:49.980
in the West. Any I don't think the separatist movement, the pro independence movement is actually
00:14:54.520
nearly as big as much of the media makes it out to be. I think if a vote happened today, it would get
00:14:59.940
defeated 75, stay 25 to separate. At the same time, if you want to push that from 25 to 35 to 45,
00:15:09.220
keep doing stuff like this, it would have been less bad if Carney got into office and no pipeline,
00:15:13.840
I'm not going to do a pipeline. It's worse by pretending you want to do one, because you're
00:15:18.400
now Mr. Pipeline, and then immediately just pull the rug out from under Alberta and say,
00:15:23.060
yeah, no, we're not really going to do it. Everyone and their dog gets a veto over whether
00:15:27.100
the pipeline gets built or not. They don't want to build one. They just want to pretend like they
00:15:32.400
want to build one. And we have Pierre Poly up here a little more than an hour ago, having tweeted out
00:15:38.220
about the vote today. He says, breaking liberals just voted against their own deal, blocking a
00:15:45.840
pipeline to the Pacific and keeping Canadian energy landlocked. Only conservatives will build pipelines
00:15:51.600
without a carbon tax, get our energy to tidewater and restore Canadian independence. Get shovels on
00:15:56.660
the ground and get Ottawa out of the way. Now, let's move on to Pierre Poly up duking it out with
00:16:04.140
Mark Carney in the House of Commons today. This is not I would to say it's a masterclass in political
00:16:12.900
rhetoric would actually be a lie because Poly up doesn't even have to be that good here. It's Carney
00:16:18.820
who's destroying himself right now. He is causing a political disaster for the liberals by having
00:16:24.500
done this thing with the MOU and then not being able even able to stand by it. I've said previously
00:16:29.720
that Carney is great at triangulating positions to tick off absolutely everybody. You could say about
00:16:35.920
Justin Trudeau, at least he made the left side of the liberal party happy. The right side was always
00:16:41.300
queasy about voting for him and many of them started bleeding off towards the conservatives.
00:16:45.100
The only reason Trudeau really ever stayed in office in 2021 and 2019 was bad advice from
00:16:50.540
conservative party advisors and poorly run campaigns. But Trudeau was consistent. Carney tries
00:16:57.680
to be everything to everybody. And as you know, from the common quotes, he's nothing to anybody as
00:17:03.600
well. You can't if you try and be everyone's best friend, you're going to be end up being a friend
00:17:08.060
to nobody. And he's a political ally to absolutely no side right now, even though we all know he's an
00:17:13.420
anti oil and gas environmentalist. He somehow ticked off Stephen Gilbeau, but not being
00:17:18.860
The Honourable Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Speaker, Canada needs a pipeline to the Pacific to sell
00:17:25.160
$30 billion of our energy overseas, outside of the U.S. market, making us more independent,
00:17:30.940
self-reliant, our dollar, and therefore Canadians purchasing power stronger.
00:17:35.960
The Prime Minister always opposed the pipeline, which his party killed. But last week, he flip-flopped
00:17:40.880
and promised while he was in Alberta in a deal that he would build such a pipeline. So I took the very
00:17:46.260
wording right out of that deal and put it into a motion before the House of Commons. He experienced
00:17:51.840
a massive rebellion in his own caucus. But if he's going to vote against his own words, how can Canadians
00:18:04.720
Obvious question. I don't think that was being unfair to Carney at all. That's the funny thing. Again,
00:18:10.300
the Liberals can keep saying, oh, they're scoring cheap political points. Okay, yeah, is this low-hanging fruit?
00:18:15.480
I guess, but that doesn't mean that he's wrong. And also, again, whoever came up with this in the
00:18:21.180
Conservative Party deserves a raise because, again, my instinct was that the Liberals couldn't have been
00:18:25.600
possibly stupid enough to vote against the MOU, and they were. So whoever had the intel to suggest
00:18:30.700
that this was actually going to make the Liberals look completely idiotic, give them a raise. This
00:18:36.020
was brilliantly done. But now let's get to the response of Prime Minister Carney.
00:18:40.620
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, as the Canadian National Cricket team knows, you've got to play the whole T20.
00:18:56.180
It's not just a couple of overs. It's not just the pipeline. It's not just pathways. It is a price on
00:19:14.040
industrial price on carbon that goes to $130 effective. It is reductions in methane. It is net zero
00:19:20.100
2050. It is building Alberta strong, Canada strong, durable, sustainable, and the Honorable Leader of the
00:19:31.060
Like, what was that? That was meaningless from Carney. He's basically just listing off,
00:19:34.660
it's not just the pipeline. It's all the other things that was in our MOU. It's like,
00:19:38.180
okay, but do you want to build a pipeline? Again, that's the whole motion vote. Are you serious about
00:19:47.700
I took the wording for the motion right out of his deal. And if he votes against the motion,
00:19:53.880
he's voting against the pipeline to the Pacific. He's voting against overriding the discriminatory
00:19:59.340
and anti-Canadian ban on shipping our energy abroad. He's voting against consultation with the First
00:20:05.100
Nations people and the British Columbia government. And he's even voting against his own beloved
00:20:09.820
carbon capture and storage, all of which I took word for word right out of his own deal.
00:20:16.260
So if the prime minister is only in favor of pipeline when he's in Alberta, but against when he's in BC
00:20:20.900
and Ottawa, how can Canadians even keep track of where he stands on anything?
00:20:26.500
Like, no notes on that for me. Like, that's just a perfectly fair question.
00:20:32.080
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome the fact that to my hearing, for the first time
00:20:41.260
ever in this House, the leader of the opposition has acknowledged the constitutional right of
00:20:48.560
indigenous people to full free. For the first time he's ever acknowledged, he's ever acknowledged the role
00:20:56.780
of the provinces. But he hasn't acknowledged yet the need for the industrial carbon price or the
00:21:03.660
reduction in methane too. The liberals keep getting up and like clapping at things that just aren't
00:21:08.140
really worth clapping for. Like, oh, it's the first time that that that Aliyev has now acknowledged that
00:21:13.860
First Nations should be consulted. I'm like, well, it's literally in the motion, which is I believe
00:21:18.200
something that Paulio brings up. Like, he Carney's attempt at getting a gotcha here is truly pathetic.
00:21:25.320
All this is just absolutely landing, like flopping on the ground. He's getting nothing out of his
00:21:31.060
lines here. And all of his MPs have to keep getting up and clapping really, really hard to pretend like
00:21:37.180
The premier of Alberta acknowledged, signed, holdheartedly as part of a complete meal.
00:21:43.840
Mr. Speaker, not only do we acknowledge the obligation to consult with our First Peoples, we put that
00:21:54.600
He put it right there so that he could vote for the words that he put in the agreement.
00:22:03.140
Well, let's be honest. He never planned to honour the agreement. He whispered quietly to the Keep
00:22:08.260
It in the Ground Liberal Caucus, don't worry, there will never be a pipeline. We'll delay it until the
00:22:13.980
election. And then God forbid, if we win, he says he would kill it all together. Why can't he say one
00:22:20.240
thing to all Canadians and champion the pipeline with us today?
00:22:24.980
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, the MOU between the government of Canada and the province of Alberta
00:22:37.740
Canada is about a pipeline. It is about carbon capture and storage.
00:22:43.200
Yeah, but he's asking you on the pipeline part, are you serious about the pipeline part? You can't
00:22:46.920
keep saying, well, the MOU is about a lot of things, but it was also about a pipeline. And the
00:22:51.420
motion is just saying, hey, the pipeline part of it, are you serious about it or not? It's not
00:22:54.800
legislation. It's just a motion asking, do you actually, I'm repeating myself ad nauseum at this
00:23:01.080
point. Do you actually believe in building a pipeline?
00:23:04.020
It is about inner ties with the clean electricity grid of British Columbia. It's about artificial
00:23:09.260
intelligence data centers. It is about an industrial carbon price that works. It is about
00:23:14.900
methane regulations. They get methane down 75% so that we can have the lowest emission, low
00:23:20.140
risk, lowest cost oil in the world and build this country. The leader of the opposition.
00:23:26.260
We put the inner ties proposal right in the motion, right out of his deal. We put the carbon capture
00:23:35.880
right in the motion, right out of his deal. We put the pipeline and the overriding of the oil
00:23:42.620
shipping ban right in the motion. It came right out of the deal that he signed. So now it's clear
00:23:49.340
that the only thing he really cares about is that it doesn't include an industrial carbon tax that
00:23:55.260
will drive jobs out, drive grocery prices up. Why is it that he wants a carbon tax without a pipeline?
00:24:03.580
And what we really need is a pipeline without a carbon.
00:24:05.580
Because the liberals are being so silly here by trying to pretend like, oh, it's just because
00:24:12.080
they didn't include some of the other stipulations of the deal. They didn't include the fact that we
00:24:16.680
also want an increase in the carbon tax for the industry, that we want this new methane regulation.
00:24:23.160
And it's like, but they're, they're being deliberately obtuse by pretending that they don't
00:24:27.340
know what a motion is effectively meant to do. Mr. Speaker, the grand reveal has been made.
00:24:39.560
Mr. Speaker, I'm not a lifelong member of this house. So I don't know all the rules, but I don't
00:24:44.460
think. Oh, now it's the jab. Oh, Paulie has been a politician for a while. It's like, okay,
00:24:48.220
who cares, Mark? I think there's a limit on the size of motions. And in fact, since the MOU is already
00:24:54.640
translated, I think it'd be very easy to take the entire MOU in both official languages and propose
00:25:01.620
them if the members opposite would support everything that the premier of Alberta has done.
00:25:08.140
You know what they could have done? He actually raises a very good point.
00:25:11.500
Why didn't, it doesn't go back to Paulie after that, it goes to Blanchet. Why at that point,
00:25:17.480
why don't the liberals put forward a motion that's the full version of the MOU? They just have to vote
00:25:21.820
for the full version of the MOU and prove to the conservatives, no, no, we won't vote for your
00:25:26.080
partial version. We want to vote for the full version. They could have done that. I know it's
00:25:30.200
opposition day. Are they going to do it tomorrow? Vote for the full version? Well, previous interviews
00:25:35.000
prove that their own MPs don't even like the full version. They just want Carney to sign it on his own
00:25:40.920
and then just have it rot and not go anywhere. That's what's going on here. It's such a stupid game
00:25:45.840
they're playing. Anyways, well, the liberals have dug themselves into a political hole. They're kind
00:25:52.660
of, you know, they're going to damage themselves no matter what they do here. They voted against it,
00:25:57.460
so they're really ticking off the business liberals. But if they voted in favor of it,
00:26:01.360
they may have actually ticked off the green, orange, left side of the party, the former green
00:26:07.120
and NDP voters who voted for the liberals in this last election campaign. This MOU has already even
00:26:13.160
ticked them off. And then if they voted in favor of the motion today, it would have ticked those
00:26:16.720
people off even more, driving more votes away from the left side of the liberal party. But again,
00:26:23.460
Carney has found a perfect way of ticking off everybody. He already ticked off the green left
00:26:27.620
by getting the motion or assigning the MOU, the memorandum of understanding in the first place.
00:26:33.640
And now by voting down the MOU, this part of it saying, are we serious about the pipeline element?
00:26:39.280
He's ticking off all the business conservatives who are probably going to migrate back
00:26:43.020
over to the conservative party in the next election. And it looks like we are going to be
00:26:47.660
having an election sometime in 2026. The rhetorical line that the conservatives have to run on is quite
00:26:53.460
strong right now. The liberals do not have a good leg to stand on at the moment. But anyways, with that
00:26:58.800
all being said, thank you guys for watching today. Like, share, and subscribe. And I will see you all next time.
