In this episode, I discuss why the Liberals should just stop trying to get another MP to cross the floor and join them. At this point, they are doing it so often that they are getting embarrassed by the media and the public, and it s only going to make them look even worse.
00:00:00.000At this point, Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals are just embarrassing themselves with their grand strategy of trying to get a majority government by coaxing MPs into crossing the floor and joining them.
00:00:13.500One, it's just not going to happen. No MP at this point is going to cross the floor when Carney is having his own problems with his own Liberal MPs resigning their seats.
00:00:23.880They've already had Chrystia Freeland resign, and in the next few months, I could see up to four Liberals actually leaving office to go do other things.
00:00:33.260That being Nate Erskine-Smith, Bill Blair, Jonathan Wilkinson, and Stephen Gilbeau.
00:00:39.060But the second thing I want to touch on today is the far more important reason as to why the Liberals should just desist.
00:00:45.940Now, I'm a Conservative, and I just like analyzing the Liberal strategy out of just pure interest.
00:00:51.720Don't worry, the Liberals will never take my advice.
00:00:54.940But the second and bigger reason why the Carney Liberals just need to stop this is they're getting absolutely destroyed in the media.
00:01:03.640Every single time the Liberals approach a new MP and ask them to cross the floor and make offers,
00:01:10.980everyone in the public is going to know they made those offers and that they were rejected.
00:01:15.920It's just making Carney look really desperate and incompetent.
00:01:20.200The fact that he's approaching people like Scott Anderson to try and cross a floor just proves that his House leader, Steve McKinnon,
00:01:28.280who's been heading up the strategy, has no clue what he's doing.
00:01:32.540Scott Anderson is very Conservative, and their top prospect from the MVP, Laurie Idlout, just completely rejected them.
00:01:40.140And that's a pretty far-left MP to try and bring into your government, which signals how unprincipled the Liberals are and that Carney's basically willing to pivot in any direction in order to get power.
00:01:51.960But now today, the Liberals were rejected by another MP.
00:01:57.160What is even the point of trying it for like a third time this week or fourth time and hope that you don't get embarrassed?
00:02:04.260So the last guy they just approached here was Amarjeet Gill, and he put out a long statement about why he ended up rejecting them.
00:02:13.400Well, why is that he's not a traitor and he doesn't want to cross the floor and join the government that he hates.
00:02:18.900But I want to read it anyways, and then I want to talk about the few other options the Liberals may have to maybe get someone to cross and why it would be stupid for them to do it anyways.
00:02:29.280But before I get into it, I just want to remind you guys to, you know, like, share, subscribe, do all that great stuff for the channel.
00:02:36.360YouTube basically bases how many people will see your video based on engagement, so liking and commenting means that the videos get more distribution.
00:02:44.540Plus, I do like to scroll through and see what people are saying about the news of the day in the comments.
00:02:49.460And then if you really like the show, you can always hit the Join button below the video and help support the show so I can be less reliant on the YouTube algorithm.
00:02:57.180But now let's get into the statement from Amarjeet Gill.
00:03:03.180For some context, Amarjeet Gill is the Conservative MP for Brampton West, and the Liberals would be very interested in bringing him over because Mississauga, Brampton pretty much all went Liberal, except for Brampton West.
00:03:24.120So I think they want their solid red wall back because the rest of the GTA area in that particular spot actually has a very solid chance of going blue.
00:03:35.420The Conservatives just frankly need better candidates.
00:03:37.760There was way too many appointments in that area.
00:03:39.880Oftentimes, the people you appoint make themselves out to be important community leaders, and a lot of them end up being bullies.
00:03:47.140They end up being sort of self-important, you know, community figures other people don't like.
00:03:52.220You sometimes get Kalistani slipping in, and a lot of the Hindus will not show up for a Kalistani who thinks that, you know, maybe their lives are not worth as much as other human beings.
00:04:13.780I will always honor the trust my constituents at Brampton West have placed in me.
00:04:19.040I was elected to be their strong voice in Ottawa, and I remain fully committed to representing their values and priorities.
00:04:25.360I am proud to stand with our leader, Pierre Paglia, the next Prime Minister of Canada, and will continue to fight for the priorities that matter most to the people I represent.
00:04:34.000I will continue to fight for safer streets and neighborhoods, jobs, affordable housing, secure borders, and stronger pay in a sovereign Canada.
00:04:43.660And, you know, pretty simple response there from Amarjeet Gill into the Liberals or to the Liberals trying to get him to cross.
00:04:51.540But again, Kalistani is not making himself look like a master strategist here.
00:04:57.460And although people always just say, well, it's legal, this is not illegal for Kalistani to be doing, it looks undemocratic.
00:05:05.340Is it undemocratic? Is it breaking any rules? Not at all.
00:05:08.580You can get people to cross the floor, but people are also allowed to react to people crossing the floor and feel like it's undemocratic,
00:05:16.120and feel like they don't want that guy re-elected again because he broke their trust by switching parties and completely switching the agenda he was running on.
00:05:23.940All these people crossing the floor are more likely to lose running as Liberals in the next election than they are as Conservatives.
00:05:38.440But if you're an inconsistent incumbent and you're fairly chaotic in terms of the decisions you make, like crossing the floor,
00:05:44.920there's a good chance people are going to kick you out of office.
00:05:47.500Now, I want to bring up this one post that the Conservatives made recently, and it demonstrates what they're also doing to make sure no one else leaves.
00:05:56.000I can't think of anyone who would leave.
00:05:57.920Like, the closest I can get is Chalk Awe in the Richmond area of British Columbia.
00:06:05.640Chalk Awe previously had a run for the BC NDP in a provincial election back in 2018 or so.
00:06:13.720He ended up losing, naturally, since he's not a sitting provincial MLA for the NDP.
00:06:18.280But he then ended up running for the Conservatives, getting the nomination, and he won.
00:06:22.580Now, you could say maybe that guy in a riding where, naturally, you get more CCP influence may end up having the incentive to cross the floor.
00:06:32.160However, even then, and I'm not saying that this is what's on Chalk Awe's heart, I'm just looking at the, you know, stereotypes of what the place is like.
00:06:40.980You have a Chinese MP in an area where the CCP puts a lot of pressure on it, a guy who used to run for a more left-wing party.
00:06:47.580He's probably first-round draft pick to make him cross the floor.
00:06:51.020But it's just become such a conservative area.
00:06:55.120And maybe Chalk Awe is a super conservative guy, and back in 2018, he was running for something he used to believe in, and now he's super conservative.
00:07:02.960I'm not trying to cast any aspersions.
00:07:04.540I'm just looking at the facts on the ground and seeing that that would be something they would also go after.
00:07:09.240He's also simultaneously sitting as a councillor in Richmond.
00:07:14.240And unless the Conservatives pressure him to drop that thing, I think he's probably pretty happy in the salary he's earning between those two positions.
00:07:21.600But even that guy, with all of those things that would maybe indicate that he would cross the floor, I just don't see it.
00:07:29.740Because, again, you're not even giving the Liberals a majority if you end up, you actually do end up crossing the floor.
00:07:45.140There's a piece of information floating around social media that I found quite interesting also in terms of the Conservative strategy to make sure nobody crosses if they were even thinking about it.
00:07:56.600They're going to be holding a rally out in Chris Dantremont's riding of Acadianapolis.
00:08:03.140I'm trying to find the post that they made about that.
00:08:05.800This is one of those things where Wyatt's unprepared.
00:08:11.800It's on having to scramble to find this stuff now.
00:08:32.800But the whole point is the Conservatives are going to be putting a lot of activist pressure in those areas, which will make those two individuals completely unelectable.
00:08:40.880Because, again, Chris Dantremont still won that riding as a Conservative.
00:09:01.400You already have some of the Conservatives who lost their re-elections ready to run again and ready to also help eliminate Chris Dantremont in that riding.
00:09:10.480It's not like Nova Scotia has become a completely red zone now and the Conservatives don't have infrastructure.
00:09:16.340They don't have to have any ridings they hold in order to raise money and start leafleting doors and getting voters identified.
00:09:22.780If anything, voters are very happy for the Conservatives to be at their doors because they want to be on whatever list they need to to make it more likely to get Chris out.
00:09:31.360And now I want to show you another thing.
00:09:33.840This is completely beside the point of all the floor crossing.
00:09:37.560I'm just predicting the Liberals are either going to have to drop this issue or they are going to continue making themselves look bad as more people reject them.
00:09:47.360I said this in a previous episode and it's true.
00:09:49.740I had heard the Liberals thought they could get Melissa Lansman.
00:11:05.660But here's just a couple more things I wanted to comment on that have nothing to do with this that I find funny.
00:11:09.620So the other day it came out that maybe Canada would consider banning the Platform X because the UK I believe is thinking about it and they had confirmed in their like at their prime minister's residence or in wherever they were meeting that the UK government has been speaking with the French government and the government of the UK and or and or the UK was talking to France and Canada.
00:11:34.300And they had all agreed that we should probably think about banning X now the UK government was probably overstating the agreement that they ended up getting Evan Solomon who's like the minister of like innovation and AI.
00:11:47.680He said contrary to media reports Canada is not considering a ban of X.
00:11:51.540And I actually kind of believe them I don't think the Liberals at this point are stupid enough to ban X if they did that they would get wiped out in the next election and the ban would probably not even go through because again you don't just ban things overnight the Canadian government doesn't just sign a letter and it gets banned they'd have to push legislation on this it would take months to go through Parliament and in that time every single user of X pretty much would be against this.
00:12:15.820Except for people like Rachel Gilmore who right here said why not question mark question mark question mark question mark question mark question mark a lot of question marks from her.
00:12:27.100Her and people like Dean Blundell and other far left hacks were supporting the idea of banning X and my friend Brittany here commented back at Rachel and I just found this funny.
00:12:38.580Lol babe why are you here paying for premium then and later in another post Brittany found out that yes Rachel Gilmore is indeed also enrolled into the subscription program of X where people can give her money every month in order to see exclusive posts from her and she also gets monetized.
00:12:59.260So she hates X at the same time she's using every feature possible to try and make money on X make it make sense.
00:13:06.000She'll probably have some far left justification like oh I'm using the tools of my oppressor against them or whatever.
00:13:12.940No she's just she's just a loud mouth.
00:13:15.700I also want to comment on this because there was this very encouraging article that came out about pure poly of like I'm not like on the fence about him I think he's a good leader and I hope that he stays on at the convention I'll be voting if I can vote.
00:13:28.280I think I'm an alternate so I probably won't be able to vote but one of the delegates for my riding drops out and I'm picked to replace them.
00:13:34.440I vote to keep pure poly on a poly of on as conservative leader I think he's been doing a pretty good job I think he strengthened his message where he needs to since the last election and I couldn't really name anyone who could be doing a better job than him at this point.
00:13:48.440But this article came out from the National Post and it said Polyev says he would build pipeline against First Nations objections and that is a very good thing.
00:13:59.420One what First Nations objections there are none.
00:14:03.420Oh oh band councils activists run band councils activists run third party organizations claiming to represent First Nations people don't like pipelines.
00:14:11.280Okay I don't care and no one else should care these are not First Nations groups and even if they were I'm sorry we don't base if we build a pipeline or not based on if an ethnic group likes it and even then by the way everyone in that group is an individual and we should treat them like individuals not like a collective and even if you do care what they all think as a collective if you pull them most of them are in favor of building a pipeline.
00:14:35.200But I like that position Polyev took but one of the federal liberal ministers Mark Miller the failed minister of I believe he was minister of immigration after Sean Frazier who is somehow now the attorney general Sean Frazier is not Mark Miller but Mark Miller came out and said great way to get absolutely nothing built.
00:14:56.780And my party leader in British Columbia the leader of the 1BC party Dallas Brody responded to this and I thought this was a great response she said BC's provincial government and Canada's federal government are run by people who think that bypassing the endless consultation process is somehow going to make things less likely to get built.
00:15:17.040A very one plus one equals zero take from Mark Miller 1BC is the only party in British Columbia that will get major projects and pipelines built by ending the endless consultations and repealing the reconciliation industry legislation like DRIPA.
00:15:32.320This is just a shameless plug now for 1BC.
00:15:35.420You guys should go check out the website in the description below.
00:15:38.780The BC conservative leadership race is going on right now.
00:15:41.940I know some people are going to be interested in who's going to run it.
00:15:45.040Maybe if a conservative wins, I'll go back and vote for them.
00:15:48.140I don't see it happening at this point.
00:15:50.800Yeah, depending on in the next election, maybe depending on the riding, you could vote conservative.
00:15:56.280But if you want anything changed, 1BC definitely needs to be in any provincial legislature, making sure people actually stick to what they promise, because the BC conservatives have not been good at that.
00:16:07.800But do you know what just happened in the BC conservative leadership race?
00:16:14.620So one of the candidates to replace John Rustad, or I guess replace the interim leader, Trevor Halford, literally just hired an anti-Pirapalyev Doug Ford strategist.
00:16:29.020This was being advertised like it was an exciting, good thing by this podcast he appears on, Hotel Pacifico podcast.
00:16:36.600It's run by a lot of people who see themselves as political strategy gurus, and you look at the numbers of their videos and nobody watches them.
00:16:44.620But here, Hotel Pacifico reports, breaking, Corey Tanike announces move to British Columbia to manage Caroline Elliott's campaign for the leader of the BC conservative party.
00:16:57.340Corey Tanike is the guy up there in the upper third.
00:17:00.500I'll play this video, and then I just want to talk a little bit about this.
00:17:03.480But this is why I do not have any confidence in the BC conservatives to pick somebody good, because Caroline Elliott is considered one of the more conservative people.
00:17:13.480Yes, is she literally the sister-in-law of Kevin Falcon, the former BC liberal, BC United leader?
