Summary
In this episode of the podcast, I talk about how issue-based polling is actually a form of liberal propaganda, and why you should be worried if you don't believe in climate change. I discuss a new poll that asked people about climate change, and the results do not match the reality of what Canadians actually think.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Although Canadian pollsters are actually pretty
00:00:04.160
accurate at being able to track Canadians' support for different political parties,
00:00:08.400
whenever they start trying to do specific issue-based polling, it all turns into liberal
00:00:14.400
propaganda more often than not. And I think it's for two different reasons.
00:00:18.720
One, I think a lot of polling companies have people who are a little bit more biased to the
00:00:21.920
left in their own worldview. So when they start trying to devise questions to ask people about
00:00:26.640
different policies, they put it in such a way that it directs people into a liberal direction.
00:00:31.520
And I don't think it's actually intentional. And the other thing is, I think that despite
00:00:35.440
people being pretty honest about which party they support, I think when you start asking
00:00:39.760
people hot button political questions, they start just mirroring what they think a liberal elite
00:00:44.800
would say because they see people on the legacy media saying that, well, if you don't believe
00:00:50.160
this, then you're an awful person or you're stupid or you're a bigot or whatever. So when you start
00:00:54.800
asking people, well, what do you think about the trucker convoy or what do you think about
00:00:58.160
vaccine mandates or lockdowns? Even though people by their own behavior and by what they indicate
00:01:03.760
in terms of national party polling, they say, I hate it. It's awful. Please get rid of it. When
00:01:08.960
you ask them, are you in favor of lockdowns because it's helping save people? People are like, well,
00:01:13.760
yeah, of course I'm in favor of it. Of course I'm in favor of it. Even though it's an anonymous poll,
00:01:17.360
but people almost feel watched even when they're doing something that is purely anonymous that no
00:01:23.280
one will ever see how they answered. And the one example I want to talk about today is this new
00:01:28.880
poll that came out from ledger that had a section asking people about climate related issues and
00:01:33.840
it's full of misinformation. The results do not match the reality of what Canadians actually think.
00:01:39.600
And this is effectively my thesis on why whenever you see issue based polling and it does not match
00:01:45.600
reality in any way that you see it. Like if you walk around and you talked, asked your friends about
00:01:50.800
this and they would vehemently disagree with the way that the polling questions results look,
00:01:56.000
then it's probably not accurate. So here's the first question that ledger had put out and says,
00:02:01.040
thinking of the past four weeks and the holiday season, would you say they have been unusually
00:02:05.520
warm compared to prior holiday seasons? Yes is 80%. No is 16%. And although this seems like a very
00:02:12.160
neutral question, just the based on the fact that's being asked and it being sort of, there's obviously
00:02:17.680
it's politically charged because it's part of a political poll. People immediately clue into the
00:02:22.160
fact that, well, you're asking me about climate change. Well, you're seeing if I deny climate change
00:02:26.720
or not. So yes, you're basically saying people are, people are saying, oh yes, I do believe in climate
00:02:31.600
change. And no is the people who say, no, either I didn't think it was unusually warm or I do not
00:02:36.720
believe in climate change. Because that's obviously the implication of the question. Do you believe in climate
00:02:41.040
change? And then, you know, sort of the implied questions down the line are, do you believe in the carbon tax?
00:02:46.160
Should we put a price on pollution and all this stuff? And here's the follow-up question they ask
00:02:50.720
that I think kind of gives away the game a little bit based on how the left thinks about climate
00:02:55.120
change. It says, among those who say yes, in your personal opinion, is the warm spell a direct
00:03:01.760
consequence of climate change or not? Yes was 73%. No was 12%. Now I've been told for the past eight years,
00:03:10.480
decade or so, that if you make the joke, oh, when it's super cold outside, oh, thanks global warming,
00:03:16.640
or man, I wish climate change would really kick in. Well, people freak out, all the leftists come
00:03:21.440
out of the woodwork and say, that's weather, that's not the climate. But whenever a specific
00:03:26.640
warm weather incident happens, that's immediately climate change. And pollsters are asking people,
00:03:31.360
hey, it was a little bit warmer today. Was that climate change? Hey, you thought you had a $5 bill in
00:03:36.640
your pants pocket and it's missing. Was that climate change? Everything seems to be climate
00:03:40.480
change to the left as soon as it's a data point that they like. But despite the fact that our last
00:03:48.160
like wildfire season, which they also pulled and everyone was like, oh, 100% of climate change,
00:03:52.800
we've been arresting people all over the place for arson, charging them and getting them convicted.
00:03:57.440
Because these people, there's obviously a bunch of people, for whatever reason, going around
00:04:02.560
dumping gasoline and throwing matches into woods. There's a guy in Quebec who's been charged with
00:04:07.040
22 counts of setting fires. That's insane. There is obviously, maybe the weather's warming a little
00:04:14.080
bit. I have this chart of Calgary weather, since it's the city I live in, with minimum and maximum
00:04:18.480
temperatures and medium temperatures. And I even went all the way back to like 1895 or 1890 when they
00:04:24.640
started tracking this stuff. It's really not changed in the Calgary area over time. You get to get some
00:04:29.680
hotter years, you get some cooler years, but there's no consistent rise in temperature over
00:04:34.560
time. But a lot of the left just likes to look at the temperature over the past 10 years and declare
00:04:39.360
that we're in a crisis. Could the temperature be rising slightly over time in terms of the average?
00:04:44.640
Maybe. Is it a crisis? I don't know. But the thing is that all these polls are meant to try and direct
00:04:50.560
you in sort of a way of being more okay with the carbon tax, being more okay with different climate
00:04:56.160
regulations, despite the fact that they do nothing, hurt you financially. And it's effectively just
00:05:02.000
usually supplying some sort of liberal slush fund, like the green slush fund that we've seen a lot of
00:05:07.440
money that goes to war in green tech and other sort of green initiatives from the liberal government.
00:05:12.320
Just go to the friends of the liberal party. It's a sole source contract. They get $20 million to do
00:05:18.240
nothing. And that's a fantastic, isn't that, isn't that helping the climate? I think it is.
00:05:22.720
I guess if we burn a lot of green $20 bills, that means we're making the climate better.
00:05:27.840
But here's another poll or question that came out of Ledger that I think also just shows that most
00:05:33.040
people are lying when they're asked these questions. Even then, who cares if it was a
00:05:37.440
little warmer during the holiday season? Does that prove that we're in a crisis? It really doesn't.
00:05:43.760
Anyways, here's the polling question. Another polling question they asked. It's just a generic top
00:05:47.360
issues question. They usually throw this at voters every time they do a poll. And it says,
00:05:51.600
top issues, 21% inflation, 17% housing affordability, 15% healthcare, climate change,
00:05:57.600
9%, poverty, 5%, government debt, 5%, homeless debt, 4%, taxes, 4%, interest rates, 4%, immigration,
00:06:03.200
3%. People are lying. If only 9% of people put climate change in their top issues, I believe,
00:06:10.560
or it's their top issue, yet 80%, 73% of people who said yes in that last poll think that this warm
00:06:17.440
spell is climate change. And climate change is having its effects all over the place. And we're in a
00:06:21.280
crisis and the holiday season was probably warmer because of climate change. Do you really think
00:06:26.640
only 9% of people would make it their top issue if we're supposedly in a crisis? Whenever you look
00:06:31.840
at the polling where you get to pick three top issues, even in those climate change usually only
00:06:36.640
punches around 25%. So only 25% of Canadians put climate change somewhere in their top three, which
00:06:44.160
does not mean a lot of people care about it. That's a worse approval rating for caring about climate change
00:06:49.360
than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's actual personal approval rating. I do not believe
00:06:54.160
people actually care this much about climate. People just reflect what they think the opinion
00:06:59.440
you're supposed to have is. It's not because people are sheep or something like that. It's because
00:07:04.160
people don't want sort of to have resistance with other people. They don't want to get into a fight.
00:07:09.040
They're just going to say, yeah, I guess it was warmer. Yeah, I guess it was climate change.
00:07:12.560
Do these people know anything about the climate? No. Does the pollster even know if this has
00:07:16.800
anything to do with climate change? No. And it's a stupid question to pose unless you know it is.
00:07:21.840
You don't ask people's opinion about something that you know is potentially completely untrue,
00:07:26.640
unless you're trying to attract support for different conspiracy theories or whatever,
00:07:31.520
and you're seeing how many people believe it. That's effectively what this is. There are people
00:07:35.280
with an almost religious belief that whatever warm weather happens is climate change, and whatever
00:07:41.120
cold weather happens is definitely not the antithesis of climate change.
00:07:47.120
Anyways, I still like pollsters, still follow the polls. They're accurate in terms of the political
00:07:52.240
parties and some policy issues, but you've got to really look at how they word it. If it's not worded
00:07:57.920
impeccably, it often is just going to be completely full of crap in terms of its accuracy to reality or
00:08:04.320
the way that Canadians actually think. But other than that, that should be it for me today. I have my
00:08:09.120
usual Give, Send, Go link in the description of this video. If you want to donate, still being sued
00:08:13.680
by a Chinese billionaire. It's over the dumbest defamation case ever. We literally, all we said
00:08:19.040
about him in a story was that he was donating to Aaron O'Toole's leadership campaign in 2020,
00:08:23.440
and then we said that he had connections to the CCP, in which we then linked to a Globe and Mail article
00:08:29.120
written over two years before detailing all of his connections. And he thought that he could
00:08:34.800
like sue us for defamation, even though he never went after the Globe and Mail. He's just going
00:08:38.640
after me because he didn't think I could pay, but we've been fighting it out with them. It's cost me
00:08:42.800
over $25,000, but we will end up winning this case. But if you give money, it does help lighten the
00:08:50.800
burden that we have in terms of our costs. And then other than that, we also have, I'm also running for
00:08:56.400
the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination. So if you live in Calgary Signal Hill, it's this
00:09:01.520
riding right here on screen, then make sure to buy a Conservative Party membership. Make sure any
00:09:06.240
friends that live in the area or family buy a Conservative Party membership. Vote for me. There's
00:09:10.400
a ton of red Tories in my race, people who are big Aaron O'Toole type fans who are now supposedly on the
00:09:15.680
pure poly of train when they've never actually been able to demonstrate they hold a Conservative
00:09:20.640
principle at all. But you know, you can't stop people from running the nominations, but you can try
00:09:25.200
and win the nomination. So if you live in that area, vote for me. If not, you can still donate on my
00:09:29.680
website, the link to my websites in the description below. And other than that, I hope everyone has
00:09:34.720
a great day. And I'll definitely be back later with another random topic to ramble about.
