Mark Gerritsen, the desperate liberal MP for Kingston and the Islands, is out there today making wild swipes at Pierre Polyev, yet again trying to impair him to Donald Trump. I don't know why the Liberals think that this narrative is suddenly going to work, but I guess if they keep repeating it, maybe people will believe it.

00:00:00.000 It's been another day, so we have yet another extremely ill-conceived attack on Pierre Polyev
00:00:06.180 by a very desperate liberal MP. That desperate liberal MP is someone you probably all recognize
00:00:12.120 at this point, Mr. Mark Gerritsen, the MP for Kingston and the Islands, a man very desperate
00:00:18.000 to get himself a cabinet position before the liberal government under Trudeau collapses,
00:00:22.960 and so he's out there today making wild swipes at Pierre Polyev, yet again trying to impair him
00:00:28.980 to Donald Trump. I don't know why the liberals think that this narrative is suddenly going to
00:00:33.440 work. It has not worked over the past few months, but I guess if they keep repeating it, maybe people
00:00:38.540 will believe it, but here's the clip clipped by the counter signal. Go follow Kian Bexley and the
00:00:43.740 counter signal on Twitter. I like whenever people get these clips online fast, and I was definitely
00:00:49.240 too lazy to go clip it from CPAC myself. So at the end of the day, Mr. Polyev's approach is exactly
00:00:55.300 like Donald Trump's approach from the United States. It's all about feeding in and feeding
00:01:00.520 off of the emotions of people to try to get the better of them. Our job, one of our jobs,
00:01:05.180 is going to be to point that out, and that's exactly what we're doing here today.
00:01:08.320 But isn't that, but isn't this what an election campaign is for? Like, pardon me, we're not,
00:01:13.180 we're not in a campaign that's typically when a leader will put out a platform, that's when they
00:01:16.920 detail their policy.
00:01:17.740 I mean, you would have to ask yourself, isn't the way that Mr. Polyev acts now and has always
00:01:23.580 been acting, what an election platform?
00:01:26.160 He didn't reveal his platform in 2013. He revealed it in the 2015 election campaign.
00:01:30.460 Pardon me?
00:01:31.060 Justin Trudeau became leader in 2013. He didn't reveal a platform then. He revealed it in the
00:01:36.400 election campaign.
00:01:37.220 But we were certainly talking about our values and what was important to us.
00:01:40.400 That's not quite true either.
00:01:42.800 So when a liberal does something like talks about the values that they believe in, creates
00:01:50.160 kind of a vague vision for what they want the country to be more like, that's good. If a
00:01:55.060 conservative like Pierre Polyev does it, goes around and speaks about the small government
00:01:59.040 vision he has for Canada, wanting to reduce taxes, get the government out of people's way,
00:02:03.100 that's very bad. And it's very Donald Trump-like, because for some reason, Donald Trump is the
00:02:07.820 only politician who feeds off of and into the emotions of voters. If anything, I think that
00:02:13.220 describes the vast majority of politicians, because he would be a horrible politician if
00:02:17.300 you do not speak to things that people are passionate about. When you say someone is emotional
00:02:21.760 about something, or they have a strong emotion in regards to a policy issue, that means they
00:02:26.380 are passionate about that policy issue. But Mark Gerritsen thinks that this is extremely
00:02:31.620 mega-oriented, that Pierre Polyev has the audacity to go to, you know, different locations around
00:02:36.920 the country and speak to the issues that really matter to people, and has not released a platform,
00:02:42.640 something a reporter rather befuddly said, because I think it seems like she got caught
00:02:48.180 off guard with how silly Mark Gerritsen's point was. So she's like, and then I think another
00:02:52.700 reporter jumped in, I think it was two different ladies. But then one of them was like, isn't 1.00
00:02:57.480 that just how an election campaign works, that you release a platform during an election? And then the
00:03:02.100 other chimed in and rightfully pointed out, well, Trudeau was the liberal leader in 2013 and then
00:03:07.220 hadn't actually put out a platform until 2015. This is just kind of how politics works. Unless
00:03:12.680 you're Aaron O'Toole and foolish enough to be constantly putting out these like 50-page reports
00:03:17.480 no one's going to read on different policy issues as if your only audience is trying to
00:03:21.660 please Andrew Coyne. Most politicians, it's smart to just stay vague, see where people are at,
00:03:27.140 and then develop a platform based on what kind of feedback you're getting from voters. It's not like
00:03:31.900 becoming leader and then day one releasing a platform based on only what you would want to
00:03:36.120 see in government. You got to talk to people a little bit here. But Mark Gerritsen thinks this
00:03:40.940 is very radical and very bad. And like, I would maybe want to look this up right now just because
00:03:45.600 it'd be funny. But Mark Gerritsen, it's a generally more of a historically safe seat for the liberals in
00:03:53.040 Ontario, Kingston, and the islands. But I have a strong feeling that there is a good chance that
00:03:58.360 Mark Gerritsen could lose it. But 338's polling projections are not always completely accurate.
00:04:05.320 There is a little bit of missability because it's just a projection itself. But Mark Gerritsen right
00:04:10.480 now, the writing only says it's leaning liberal at the moment. A couple polls have come out that show
00:04:16.880 the liberals doing a little bit better in Ontario than they previously were. But I do think that at some
00:04:23.020 point, a lot of this bad rhetoric from Mark Gerritsen, this incredibly just like childish
00:04:28.240 kind of way he acts in parliament is going to come back and bite him. And I don't doubt that either
00:04:34.000 his entire writing, not his entire writing, but his writing is going to shift more blue or more orange
00:04:39.580 in response to the fact that they maybe want a guy who, you know, can control himself emotionally.
00:04:45.740 The man is just constantly swiping at people. You know, he's the type of person who just
00:04:50.400 randomly like starts screeching in parliament and then gets mad at other people when they say
00:04:55.620 something slightly unparliamentary to him, even though that is his entire career is attacking
00:05:00.320 other people with unfair smears. But whatever, it's not going to work. And I guess that's a great
00:05:05.660 place to leave off this video today. I have my give, send, go legal fund linked in the description
00:05:11.160 of this video below or in the replies. If I upload this video to Twitter, I'm being sued by a billionaire
00:05:16.060 winning that lawsuit. But it's just a typical stupid slap suit where someone's trying to drain
00:05:20.900 you of funds because they don't actually have any evidence that you did anything wrong. So they're
00:05:24.740 suing myself and the National Telegraph. And then I'm also running for the Calgary Signal Hill
00:05:29.460 Conservative Party nomination. So if you live in Calgary Signal Hill, make sure you buy a Conservative
00:05:34.040 Party membership, make sure your entire household has a membership and vote for me in the nomination
00:05:38.820 race. I also have my website for that linked in the description or the replies. So make sure to check it
00:05:43.940 out if you live in the area. Based on the viewership I usually get on videos, like I've said in previous
00:05:47.720 videos, guaranteed a bunch of you live in the riding. So check out which riding you live in.
