Marilyn Glodju crossed the floor to join the Liberal Party of Canada. She was formerly a strong conservative inside the Conservative Party, being pro-convoy, pro-life, and aggressive on fiscal issues. And now she's not. And I'm here to tell you why.
00:00:00.000Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and yes, I am finally getting my hair cut tomorrow.
00:00:06.100I just realized I am starting to look like Liberal MP Kareem Bardessi.
00:00:11.020That freaked me out enough that I made the appointment right away.
00:00:14.620But in today's video, we are talking about Marilyn Gladju crossing the floor and joining the Liberal Party.
00:00:21.160She was supposedly a strong conservative inside the Conservative Party, being pro-convoy, pro-life,
00:00:28.060very aggressive on fiscal issues, and now she's not. And I want to go into just how sad and
00:00:34.980pathetic this entire thing is. Some people were saying that this could be signaling that the
00:00:39.740Liberal Party is actually going to moderate and open up its ranks to people who have socially
00:00:44.880conservative views or people who are fiscal hawks. No, and I have some information to tell you about
00:00:51.900MP Glaju. That was told to me by a former conservative MP who had worked with her for
00:00:57.600several years. She is not doing this for principled reasons, and she's not even exactly an opportunist.
00:01:03.760She's just an attention seeker. That's really it. But before we get into some of the clips today
00:01:09.560and some of the posts I want to talk about, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the show,
00:01:13.920make sure to leave a like on this video. Subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber. I am still trying
00:01:19.220to reach 100 000 subscribers i crossed 90 000 like a week and a half ago or so so we are getting
00:01:26.200there and i will eventually get the silver play button that i'm not even sure if i put it on
00:01:30.540display because i i don't know i don't i don't like the look of them but i'll have it i can use
00:01:34.240it as a very oversized coaster uh but of course if you also want to support the channel more you
00:01:39.200can hit the join button below the video and become a monthly donor to help make the channel more
00:01:44.300sustainable for me, usually just a few bucks a month. But of course, if you live on a tight
00:01:49.180budget, do not join. This is not something that everyone has to do to make the channel
00:01:53.660more sustainable for me. Anyways, now let's get into it. Starting off with this clip
00:01:59.780of Marilyn Gladue arriving with Mark Carney at the Liberal Convention in Montreal.
00:02:14.300As you can see, Mark Carney made the deliberate choice of entering the room with Marilyn.
00:02:24.740But I noticed that she's now apparently her big shift towards the liberals has been just wearing more red clothing.
00:02:31.600When she crossed yesterday, she wore a red shirt and now she has a red throwover sweater.
00:02:37.940So apparently she is now a member of the team.
00:02:40.660This is all Mark Carney apparently requires people to do, just throw on a red hat or a red brooch, and now you're fit to be part of the party.
00:02:49.400But again, Mark Carney's fine with Gladju crossing, even though her entire record is completely out of step with the liberals,
00:02:56.400because it seems like Gladju has just agreed to completely drop her actually, like, supposedly deeply held convictions.
00:03:04.180I posted this just an hour ago in reaction to one of the videos that showed her taking a selfie with somebody.
00:03:11.820I said, MP Glodju taking a smiling selfie with a Liberal Party member at the LPC convention the same day Mark Carney said she would have to vote for the Liberals' progressive social agenda.
00:03:23.180She was formerly a social conservative.
00:03:48.980She has crossed the floor and become a different creature,
00:03:51.100so her view of floor crossing has changed.
00:03:54.200I'm going to be getting to my post about what a former conservative MP had told me about her in just a second here.
00:04:01.020But I want to start off with this video of Mark Carney at a press conference being asked about Marilyn Gladew's sort of views on issues that would be very anti-liberal and how she now fits into the caucus.
00:04:13.500This proof positive just how unprincipled this move is because Carney is not going to let this lady speak.
00:04:21.260Outside of abortion, Ms. Gladue is also a pro-convoy.
00:04:25.120She's a court of the truck, something you are very publicly against.
00:04:45.220You know, we've ran on a clear platform, clear values, defending the Charters of Rights and Freedoms, defending the right of women to choose, defending same-sex marriage, anti-conversion therapy, to save you asking that question.
00:05:03.800uh and the you get to say that because she of course ran a petition against the liberals uh
00:05:11.660conversion therapy ban bill c4 it's not actually what the bill does it's basically saying that you
00:05:17.920cannot disagree with gender theory if that's what your like young child starts to believe in you
00:05:22.480can't dissuade them from going down that path that is conversion therapy but it's not conversion
00:05:27.660therapy for a teacher to encourage a child to believe in these things and discover themselves
00:05:33.980and whatnot in grade two or something. So he's already heading that off the pass. But like,
00:05:40.460that's a good follow up question. Still, she literally has run petitions against your own
00:05:47.680pieces of legislation. How do you square this thing? And my point with all this isn't like,
00:05:53.500oh, look at Carney being a hypocrite, bringing someone to the party. It just demonstrates that
00:05:58.580the Liberal Party, all it stands for is power at the end of the day. All this stuff can be worked
00:06:04.020out later. Because if you join the Liberal Party, you're basically joining the Borg,
00:06:08.660and you are going to have your brain completely wiped, and you will be installed with a new
00:06:13.140program that just gets you to vote for all of the red policies. Oppose the blue policies,
00:06:18.100vote for the red policies. Sometimes you can vote for an orange NDP policy. That's all above
00:06:23.020board but that's that's all the party is stands for so glad you're coming over in a certain sense
00:06:28.440is no big deal for carney because they know that they can just wipe her memory and then just install
00:06:32.220the new liberal programming and she'll just vote for everything they want and that's fine and her
00:06:36.020views don't matter anymore no these are serious points and people who are joining the liberal
00:06:41.900party at this critical time and supporting us when i say people i mean mps uh recognize
00:06:48.720those clear policy positions those values that's where we will go that's what we will support
00:06:55.200that's what we will advance what uh the mps who have joined uh the liberal party uh have brought
00:07:04.440is a series of uh perspectives and expertise that is aiding the country the government and the
00:07:10.960country at a crucial time uh so if uh since your question is about miss gladu uh she has more than
00:07:18.240two decades of business experience. She's an engineer. She's an experienced parliamentarian.
00:07:23.340None of the stuff actually matters. I want to get to the point where he actually has to answer
00:07:26.420a question about the social values. Colleagues have deep relations with her, despite having
00:07:32.920been up until yesterday in different parties. And, you know, it's a big country and it's a
00:07:42.460diverse country. And at a critical time for the country, to have Chris D'Entremont as
00:07:56.940a member of the Liberal caucus. I'm sorry, to have Matt Jennerou from Alberta as a member,
00:08:05.960To have an engineer from Sarnia as a member, to have Laurie Idlow from Nunavut as a member of our caucus.
00:08:16.120They all bring perspectives from their regions, from their backgrounds, from their histories, but they all are subscribing to the values of the party and the core mission, core element of our mission, which is to build Canada strong.
00:08:30.880And let's see, this is like, almost like a definition of liberal DEI, that we want all these people from these different regions and backgrounds, but you are going to vote for the same agenda. Now, I understand parties exist for a reason. They have an agenda, the platform they ran on, they're supposed to implement it.
00:08:48.860But there are a lot of elements of the liberal plan, what they ran on, that wouldn't really cover what Glaju believes on social positions.
00:08:58.440And so basically, he's just saying that there is just a universal, everyone knows inside the party, set of social things that you're allowed, of social positions you're allowed to hold.
00:09:07.180And she has now agreed that she is going to be part, she's just going to vote for our current social program.
00:11:56.820and the people that is such a statement of what the liberal party is the the my values are my
00:12:03.840values and my colleagues values are also my values that this is where the conservative
00:12:08.400party should market itself as different polioff has his values and guess what melissa lanceman
00:12:14.040might have her values and arnold vearson might have his values they're going to be different
00:12:18.480but they're going to still exist as long as we aren't insecure about the fact that we don't agree
00:12:23.100on everything, but we still at least have in each person certain big core pillars of conservatism
00:12:28.900that person stands for. Some people will stand for a full spectrum version of conservatism.
00:12:35.100And when I say that, I'm talking about, again, an Arnold Veerson, who I know is a social
00:12:39.620conservative, cultural conservative, fiscal conservative on foreign policy. He's very
00:12:44.360hawkish. That would be the same thing for people like a Michael Cooper and an Andrew
00:12:48.620Lawton. And then you get to people like Melissa Lansman or Michelle Rempel-Garner, who they are
00:12:53.760hawks when it comes to wanting to restrict immigration. They would be more pro-fiscal
00:13:00.140reform. But both of them are social liberals. As long as there's something in your record
00:13:05.540to demonstrate that you're actually conservative, then that's fine. And that's a good thing that
00:13:10.240the Conservative Party can have slight variations on its people. They should still remain within a
00:13:14.560spectrum of what's acceptable in the party but you can be different. Cardi just says no no you
00:13:19.120are Borg you are basically just another version of me who votes for everything I want because
00:13:25.080you are effectively me and if you stop doing everything I want I will like kill you or
00:13:29.880something whatever he would do if a liberal ever disagreed with him. Who are becoming members of
00:13:36.780liberal caucus are joining the liberal values yes it is a big country it's a big country and a very
00:13:45.580diverse one and we need to represent the country at this turning point apparently so so not only
00:13:53.660uh the the liberal party values are carney's values and all those liberal mps have his values
00:13:59.980but he just said it's a big diverse country and i represent their values because he just
00:14:04.540said the liberal party represents those values but he said that his the liberal party's values
00:14:09.020are his values and then he just said basically the entire country's values are his values which is
00:14:13.260like the most arrogant thing i've ever heard someone say just claiming that everything that
00:14:19.260they believe is like the standard for canada you may be courting across the floor if they hold
00:14:25.980that would be disqualifiers from joining we have our values our values of solid solidarity
00:14:33.180of inclusivity, of sustainability, of the rights of women, of all the rights in the Charter and
00:14:41.040Freedom. We have those core values. Those values don't change. Others come to support the mission
00:14:48.540of the party and the government at this crucial time. And we are fortunate that they take those
00:15:00.280decisions because they bring expertise, they bring perspectives, they bring energy, and they
00:15:05.220will help us work together. And I'm going to add one other thing, and then we'll go to a prochaine
00:15:09.780question. You know, I'm very appreciative of the mayor of Contrecoeur being here and
00:15:18.520Minister Boulet being here, and very appreciative of our ability to work with the government of
00:15:25.860Quebec, work with the municipality to make sure that this project is not delayed another week
00:15:32.720longer, let alone five years, another electoral cycle, another decade. It's that form of working
00:15:38.980together with people which is moving this country forward. And I think what you're seeing in
00:15:44.500Parliament is representative of that. That doesn't mean anything. Well, you know,
00:15:50.040we work with, you know, municipalities in this country and provincial governments,
00:15:55.340And that's kind of like what's going on with Glad you like, no, not at all.
00:15:59.740This is very different. And my, I guess, fellow YouTuber, you know, you never want to say like friend because sometimes people overuse the word friend when you've only ever met someone in person once.
00:16:12.260But but J.J. McCullough was making really good points about this yesterday.
00:16:15.620He was on Juno News with Mark Petrone, but he brought up the fact that, like, why would people even bother voting anymore if it seems like their MPs are just subject to changing parties for pretty much no reason?
00:16:29.220Now, I'm not even necessarily opposed to floor crossing, but we all we all know it when we see it in terms of a good floor crossing and a bad one.
00:16:38.300The last five floor crossings, the four conservatives and the one NDP have all been bad. They've all been unprincipled. They have all basically been triggered by complete nothingness. And it feels like there is probably something else going on here with each of them that motivated them to leave, that if people knew about it, would not have them seen favorably.
00:16:58.420Now, if you left because there was a massive corruption scandal in the party or in the government that you're a part of, and they completely changed all their values, but you haven't moved and you have to move parties in order to be able to represent those values better, that would make sense.
00:17:13.960Gladju is the best example. Marilyn Gladju did not leave because she was not allowed to express her values well enough. It seemed like pretty much she was able to express her values pretty well.
00:17:26.440Now, there's stories in the party about Gladju wanting to be more conservative, and they're holding her back and not letting her say certain things.
00:17:35.320The response is not then to go join the liberals, who are definitely not going to let you say anything.
00:17:40.460In fact, now you have to share all the same opinions as Mark Carney or you're out.
00:17:44.720The whole thing is just ridiculous, the way that this has kind of been rolled out in front of the public.
00:17:52.940And J.J. McCullough is so right when he says there's all these obnoxious TV pundits who basically just fall back on, well, it's allowed to happen.
00:18:00.980You're allowed to cross the floor. Oh, it's part of our system. You're allowed to do that.
00:18:04.420It's like, yeah, and it's a crappy part of the system. It makes people less willing to actually show up and vote.
00:18:10.120And now people should always show up and vote. But you start to understand when people get ticked off or when someone in Alberta now says they're going to vote for independence.
00:18:18.820You can't blame them anymore when it feels like they keep getting kicked in the face at every corner. And even when they get their representative into office, they might just cross because who cares? But anyways, now I want to show you this post that I made just a little bit earlier today when I talked to a former MP who used to work with Marilyn Gladju.
00:18:39.640This is somebody who's like very much still in the game. They didn't just like work with her for like a year and left, you know, for a few, several years was around Marilyn Gladue and would have actually shared a lot of her views on public policy. So this isn't somebody who always had a bone to pick with her or something like that, I can guarantee you.
00:18:58.020So this is my basically recollection of the phone call I had just had earlier today, as well as last night.
00:19:05.900So I said, I talked to a former conservative MP who served with Marilyn Gladju, and they told me they were not surprised by her crossing the floor.
00:19:14.880They said that Gladju has always been an attention seeker and that she is likely not running for reelection and wanted to get back at your poly of the conservative party for a perceived lack of favor in caucus,
00:19:26.340including not being a prominent speaker at the 2026 CPC convention in Calgary.
00:19:32.120That kind of makes sense because that was happening, I believe I remember, in late January.
00:19:38.200And that was around the time where she had just put out a statement against floor crossing
00:19:44.640even saying that floor crossing should be banned.
00:19:47.780And then apparently not being able to speak at the convention changed her mind
00:19:51.200and now she's really mad and out for blood.
00:19:53.940I go on to say, though, the MPs did say too many MPs with difficult personalities have been protected from nomination challenges over the years
00:20:03.220and have developed a prima donna complex about how important they think they are and what they deserve.
00:20:09.300Sounds like Dontremont, Gennaro, and Gladju.
00:20:12.220The where is my golden throne mentality.
00:20:15.180Although the MP also warned some people in caucus also do think there needs to be adjustments
00:20:20.100when it comes to which MPs are given prominence and which ones are not.
00:20:24.020It's a delicate balance of not letting big egos demand attention for the sake of it,
00:20:28.500and also making sure grassroots conservative MPs aren't overshadowed in favor of people
00:20:33.140seen as part of an inner circle around Pierre Polyev.
00:20:37.100I then went on to make my own comments, and I said,
00:20:39.460and most of those were my interpretation of what they said,
00:20:41.740because I don't want to directly quote the person in case it would like, you know, out them.
00:20:45.880It's mostly just because I'm not going to like tell someone like, oh, y'all, I want you to be
00:20:50.160on the record about this. These are just musings of people that I respect who are former MPs and
00:20:55.760know the situation quite well. But now this is just kind of my interpretation. I said when people
00:21:00.960were basically handed their nominations or won a nomination 10 plus years ago without a challenge,
00:21:07.280it causes there to be a lot of entitlement and caucus.
00:21:11.420If you won your nomination fair and square,
00:21:13.340it gives you a greater respect for the grassroots members who put you there.
00:21:17.000When you were appointed or the deck was cleared so you would easily win your nomination,
00:21:23.360or it has been potentially 10 to 15 years since you ran your nomination
00:21:26.540and you kept getting acclaimed each cycle,
00:21:28.940you don't have the same connection with the base of the party.
00:21:31.640You see yourself as the lord of your own fiefdom,
00:21:33.920And you will shop it to the liberals if you feel like you will be given more royal treatment. And I think this 10,000% applies to a man like Chris Donchermont. I'm not sure if he originally won a nomination in order to run for the party back in 2019. He was formerly a progressive conservative MLA in Nova Scotia.
00:21:54.500Typically, the Conservative Party has always had this idea that, oh, if you're a councillor or if you're already sitting MLA, sometimes they kind of just appoint you as if you're so important you can bypass the nominations.
00:22:07.520Maybe Don Tremont won his, but from the chatter inside the caucus, it sounded like he wasn't allowed to be the golden child enough, and so that's why he left.
00:22:15.780With Glaju, it's even more apparent that she just feels like she wasn't being treated as important enough, and so she left, which is why her anger and her entitlement has completely clouded her judgment around principles and policy with the Liberal Party, and now she's willing to sell it all out, basically just to, like, you know, wag her finger at Paulia for not respecting her enough or something like that.
00:22:39.360But this is also to say the Conservative Party does need to reform the way it does stuff inside of caucus. The fact that you're having these people with these difficult personalities who, if they're not pleased 100 percent, are willing to screw over their own constituents is quite telling.
00:22:56.460And I think that Polyev does need to do a lot of mending of fences right now. He needs to go to
00:23:03.180caucus, and he needs to be able to make sure that there's enough balance. Because there is kind of
00:23:09.600two separate lessons here. This is not to say, oh, glad you left. This is a bad reflection on Polyev.
00:23:16.340Now, it's not to say it doesn't reflect anything about Polyev or the party. We can't just say the
00:23:21.100person left, they're a traitor. Ergo, this means nothing about the party. It just means that they're
00:23:24.880a bad person. It mostly means they're a bad person, but we never also want to overlook the
00:23:29.980fact that why are these people keep getting nominated when there's nothing really you can
00:23:34.360say that they've done in office. They're not maverick politicians who have been moving issues
00:23:38.880downfield and getting big wins. I don't know anything that Chris Dantremont ever did that
00:23:43.260was useful. I have no clue what Matt Jenner who ever did, and it should have been telling that
00:23:47.300he used to be a Redford progressive conservative in Alberta before he became an MP. Why do we need
00:23:52.520these people? Why are these people like star candidates in our minds? We should have nominations
00:23:58.460and in caucus as well. And maybe Glodgie sounds like a prima donna. It's also true that I would
00:24:04.840say that MPs like Glodgie don't get that much speaking time. I can name tons of MPs. I don't
00:24:10.260think I've ever actually had a moment to ask a question in Parliament since the last election.
00:24:16.220There tends to be, and this is a big problem inside the BC Conservative Party as well,
00:24:20.200that's why I'm with 1BC, you get the sort of favored MPs who you see always asking questions
00:24:27.300in question period. And yes, they might be the critic to a certain ministry, the shadow critic
00:24:32.060for justice or finance or whatever. It makes sense that they ask more questions. But there are some
00:24:37.200people who get sidelined. And if their sort of dissatisfaction turns into grumbling, it could
00:24:44.180be bad for Polyev if Caucus ever moves to get rid of him, because Caucus is allowed to remove him
00:24:49.600if there is enough people who sign for a vote to be triggered within caucus to say whether he stays
00:24:55.300or goes. Now, do I think that's going to happen necessarily in the next year or so? No.
00:25:01.580Polyev should just focus on getting wins across the field, but he also needs to go in and I think
00:25:07.060restructure the way that caucus is being managed, and he should also be restructuring how nominations
00:25:13.780are done. Too many people in the current caucus have not really won a proper nomination in a very
00:25:19.080long time and again they turn into the lords and ladies of their fiefdoms and don't you know who i
00:25:24.700am kind of mentality starts to sort of erupt there and that can turn into those people with their
00:25:30.360difficult personalities then crossing the floor just to show up everyone else that you didn't
00:25:35.340appreciate me enough and now i'm gonna go and make out with mark carney over there this is something
00:25:40.380that we need to be cognizant of but of course in this video i also want to highlight some extremely
00:25:46.940bad takes when it comes to the glad you crossing i i cannot stand whenever stuff like this happens
00:25:55.080and we immediately just start asking if this is all does this mean everyone hates poly of
00:26:01.760no doesn't mean poly is perfect also of course he's not perfect of course there's things he's
00:26:07.320done that i don't like i think he needs to run on boulder policy right now i think the nominations
00:26:11.300were fiasco in the last election and they had too many dud candidates in places especially
00:26:16.200like Brampton. Too many guys who are from the Sikh community who are pompous and tell you that
00:26:22.220they're the one who represents the community in this area the most. And if you ask any other
00:26:26.020Sikh person that writing, they all hate that guy. Don't let him run. That was a problem in the last
00:26:31.220election. Way too many pompous councillors and former provincial politicians running in nominations
00:26:37.280who think everyone knows who they are, and they get blown out in the election, or at least they
00:26:41.500lose marginally because they're not they're not a vote seller they don't actually connect with
00:26:47.260voters the thing is that there's this truism that a good candidate's only worth five percent in an
00:26:52.680election how many ridings did we lose by less than five percent and if you have a dud candidate they
00:26:59.240could be worth minus five percent of the vote so in fact a good candidate in theory is worth plus
00:27:05.14010 because if you appoint someone bad you're going to lose votes if you appoint to someone
00:27:09.280blah they're not they're basically going to perform generically and if you appoint somebody
00:27:13.440great they will add more votes to the riding than you would have necessarily gotten if he just made
00:27:18.560some random financial accountant your cat your candidate who doesn't have a lot of political
00:27:23.120experience or charisma but now i want to get to this clip of poly of being asked a question about
00:27:30.120the floor crossing and you know the rumor that there could be like a dozen more people wanting
00:27:35.320to leave uh i think he at least sums up the situation quite well but there's no like crisis
00:27:40.860where poly has become unpopular and that's why people are jumping ship none of these people if
00:27:45.860if they wanted to say that that was the reason they could say it chris d'antremont keeps making
00:27:49.780these insinuations oh the party should look inward maybe a bit i'm not even saying that no
00:27:55.040maybe a bit but if there's an inward issue you want to tell us about how about you tell us
00:28:00.340but when chris d'antremont these people won't tell you what the problem is it's probably because
00:28:04.500they would look bad if they described why they specifically left. CTV, how many of your own
00:28:10.400MPs do you have to lose to the Liberals before you reflect on your own political future as leader?
00:28:16.960Well, that reflection comes from the record-smashing 8.3 million Canadians who voted
00:28:25.020Conservative in the last election and the 87% of grassroots Conservatives who backed up my
00:28:31.740leadership less than 90 days ago to fight for an affordable safe and strong Canada our mandate and
00:28:38.400my leadership does not come from dirty backroom deals it comes from the people of Canada what
00:28:44.860this comes down to is who runs this country who leads this country is it a bunch of backroom
00:28:50.280schemers and elites who rob people of their votes or is it the hard-working common people
00:28:56.000who should be running the country in a democracy that's the decision so yes although this is going
00:29:02.660to be a bad news cycle for polyev i think if the conservatives actually kind of press on the issue
00:29:07.800of stolen votes and the idea that basically carney is willing to work with anyone and you could be
00:29:13.980effectively almost like he could run on a sort of like zoran mamdani type anti-oligarchy type
00:29:20.760campaign, not in the same way, Zoran Mamdani is a ridiculous socialist, but the idea that
00:29:26.280Carney is kind of turning our political system into a horse trading oligarchy, where yes,
00:29:31.960you voted for a conservative, but they had some background discussions with that person over a
00:29:36.600few months that you don't get to be privy to. And now they are now part of their party. And no
00:29:41.940matter who wins, they really win at the end of the day, given enough time to talk to people.
00:29:45.840I think that would be a smart move for Polyev. Now I do want to get to some of the talking points
00:29:52.520people are using on, I like this point that Luka White made, the former MP, when she was on Power
00:29:59.400Play yesterday regarding what's going on. You can check this out. I have this vision in my head
00:30:06.100of Mark Carney as the Pied Piper, right? He's got the flute and he's whistling all these people
00:30:10.680lacrosse but in reality don't forget the Pied Piper he attracted rats
00:30:15.140leave it to you Lisa Kathleen it's gonna be Scott Scott Reed they're trying to act
00:30:23.320unimpressed by her wordplay there but I thought that was quite good um but again the thing that's
00:30:29.620so obnoxious about all this is that it's being used to drive narratives that I don't think are
00:30:34.740actually possible to put out so here's Don Tremont right here when he was on CTV News again trying to
00:30:40.540create this narrative that it demonstrates that there's inward problems in the conservatives but
00:30:46.000tell us what they are he won't tell us because he doesn't know in your resignation you also did
00:30:52.720speak specifically about Mr. Polyev's leadership how do you see how that is continuing to play out
00:31:00.080do you think he can remain in place for much longer I mean I'm not going to comment on I haven't been
00:31:04.060a part of that caucus for a while now and but you know ultimately they're going to have to be asking
00:31:07.800questions of themselves and looking inward. I mean, if we look through time as...
00:31:12.320Look inward at what? We keep hearing inward. We keep hearing that this reflects on Polyev.
00:31:16.940Maybe it does. I've already brought up some potential reasons why Polyev might want to
00:31:22.160make some changes with caucus management to improve things. But he actually has to say
00:31:25.800what the issue is. Because do we really think that Chris Dontrevant is a big believer in
00:31:31.960grassroots democracy and he wasn't happy with the way nominations were done last election?
00:32:04.100and shock gasp. He has no respect for the actual members. So Don Tremont, baby, tell us what the
00:32:11.540actual problem is, or you're just throwing darts at like invisible targets. You know,
00:32:18.600a different member has crossed over and see what the response has been directly from them.
00:32:23.460They seem to be blaming others for this, this challenge and not looking inwardly. They need
00:32:28.280look inwardly inwardly at what like again he is somebody who apparently has inside information
00:32:34.760how about Chris Dontremont actually disclose all of the things that were said between him and the
00:32:40.740liberals that got him to cross without the generic answers about how Carney represents stability
00:32:46.060and the liberals are unifying the country and all this stuff just meaningless things that every
00:32:51.000single floor crosser has said no matter what side of the political spectrum they were from
00:32:55.160what did you actually get offered, and why did you cross, and what specifically was wrong with
00:33:01.340Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party. Because I feel like if he actually told that story,
00:33:06.280it wouldn't make him look very good. We have a problem of extremely arrogant politicians in
00:33:12.560Canada, even more so than the United States. At least the U.S. politicians actually have to keep
00:33:16.800running for primaries every couple of years if they're in Congress, and if they're in the Senate
00:33:20.640every sixth, and if they're president every four. They actually have to keep proving themselves over
00:33:24.860and over again. And people are beat in primaries, actually not that infrequently. Most people,
00:33:30.360the people have this idea that congressmen are around a long time because they're deeply corrupt.
00:33:34.860Some of them might be. Many of them are actually quite popular back home because
00:33:38.960they're very obtuse voting at times is really just them trying to vote for whatever their district
00:33:44.020likes. So if your district doesn't want to get rid of farm subsidies in Iowa, even if you're a
00:33:48.640Republican and you technically believe in smaller government, well, you vote for the farm subsidies
00:33:53.060to stick around. And your people like that. In Canada, I actually would like if MPs were more
00:33:58.360maverick in terms of they vote for the things that they think their constituents would like,
00:34:02.920and it's not always tied to the party. But we have this bizarro world version of individualism
00:34:07.620going on in Parliament right now, where everyone just votes for whatever their party wants.
00:34:12.380But then they'll randomly cross the floor as like exerting their independence as an MP,
00:34:17.780just to join another team to start voting for whatever they want with no actual citation to
00:34:23.280their values or why they're doing this at all. It's just simply like, well, I was on blue team
00:34:27.740and now I'm on red team. I will now vote for red team. But then we'll have all these pundits saying,
00:34:32.080oh, so you don't think that people elect individual MPs and that that person was
00:34:36.580trusted to make these decisions? In a certain sense, no. Do you think any one of these people
00:34:41.360would be elected if on their signs they say, you know, party subject to change, I might leave
00:34:47.920because, you know, I felt better over in that camp rather than this camp. But do I have the Scott
00:34:57.140Reid post from earlier today? There's just been so many of these guys who have just been saying
00:35:02.060like really obnoxious things about the floor crossing. They're using it as a disinformation
00:35:08.780opportunity. Just throw mud at Paulyov and the Conservatives because now is the time when you're
00:35:14.780not going to be questioned on if you're just basically saying stuff to take a dig or if it's
00:35:18.900even accurate. Here's Mark Marison, the former husband of BC Liberal Premier Christy Clark on
00:35:26.020CBC. I honestly don't know what qualifies him to be commentating on politics, but we're here.
00:35:32.660Well, see, it means that there's got to be a lot of members of Parliament in the Conservative
00:35:36.320party that are that are frustrated i mean you at a time when um when we've got this big big issue
00:35:41.840with donald trump and with the united states they see their leadership all over the map on this
00:35:46.300stuff how has poly have been all over the map on trump and trade what what two positions can you
00:35:53.700actually highlight that poly have took on that issue that are contradictory he hasn't we just
00:35:58.520simply assert things in the mainstream media while wearing just like thick glasses and apparently
00:36:03.720that means you must be like you must have some sort of like cunning insight it states they see
00:36:09.720their leadership all over the map on this stuff you've got joe jovani going off to jetting off
00:36:15.180to washington and and meeting with jd vance using all the same talking points as the as the president
00:36:20.640no he didn't he didn't all he just said is that well you know they actually do like canadians and
00:36:27.500i'm here to basically represent why america should be trading with canada more and we should get rid
00:36:32.000of these tariffs. He never reflected the Trump administration's position. Do you think that
00:36:37.340Jamil Giovanni went down there and said, actually, Canada deserves this because of fentanyl and
00:36:42.300because of national security reasons and because they've been ripping us off? He never said that
00:36:46.860because it never happened. But Mark Marison can just assert it now using the cover that, well,
00:36:52.000you know, so you're denying that Glad you crossed the floor as if somehow because something
00:36:58.780happened that then means that they can just make up the reason that it happened and if you think
00:37:03.260that that's a stupid reason that clearly isn't it they're like didn't you just see a bunch of people
00:37:07.680cross the floor clearly is true because this completely disconnected thing happened oh my
00:37:13.060goodness all these people drive me up the wall i mean this this amateur hour that you just got
00:37:17.240that you see over at pierre paulia's operation it's this it's kind of understandable that people
00:37:21.940would want to find a way out it's funny he's calling this all amateur hour since he was the
00:37:27.160president and the mayoral candidate of the Progress Vancouver Party in 2022, and him and
00:37:33.320all of his candidates were banned from running for office again for three years, I believe.
00:37:38.880I think that had dropped a couple years ago, so they're still banned even in 2026 from running
00:37:43.200because they didn't do their financial filings properly. But Mark Marison is going to tell us
00:37:48.220all about what he thinks is amateur hour and what is not. But anyways, that should be it for today's
00:37:55.500video, I could bring up so many more news clips of people like Scott Reed talking or other talking
00:38:02.160heads from the liberal side saying, oh my goodness, this reflects that the conservative party is in
00:38:06.680panic mode and all their people don't believe in them anymore. It's like, well, would one of the
00:38:11.000floor crossers please like to stand up and tell us that that's what's happening? Because not even
00:38:16.200Dontremont going on TV to take shots at Polyev will actually articulate what the issue is.
00:38:21.940This is why it's all so frustrating. It seems all fake. It makes you think someone's being bribed or they're only leaving for extremely petty reasons and it has nothing to do with the actual politics of the day.
