Wyatt Claypool here. Let me know if you've also found this to be kind of strange, but have you
00:00:06.300
noticed a lack of Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney in the liberal leadership race so far?
00:00:12.580
I was promised that these were the two heavy hitting front runners and neither of them seem
00:00:17.760
to be able to get organized enough to actually run in this thing. The membership cutoff for this race
00:00:23.840
I believe is January 27th. I am filming this on January 13th. Even now you would have less than
00:00:30.240
two weeks to register people to vote for you. The actual leadership selection is finalized on March
00:00:37.940
9th, which really means your supporters need to have their ballots in on like March 1st or 2nd
00:00:42.980
because it will take a while for them to go through the mail to get into liberal headquarters. And these
00:00:48.380
two are so bureaucratic that they're still lollygagging around trying to plan the perfect
00:00:54.840
announcement event, get all their platforms together, get their websites together. And this
00:00:59.460
is the problem with bureaucrats. They make absolutely terrible leaders. Justin Trudeau is corrupt. He's a
00:01:06.420
nasty person. His policy is terrible. It has put Canada in the awful position that we currently are
00:01:12.860
socially and economically. But even he is 10 times the leader that Freeland or Carney could ever be. Not in
00:01:21.200
terms of quality, but in terms of just the raw skills that you need to lead a party on. I'm a conservative
00:01:27.840
and I'm just saying all this bewildered that the liberals would even think of running any of these people. Do you
00:01:34.180
know who's actually in the race right now? I guess I don't even have to bring it up on screen. Jamie Batsy is
00:01:40.480
running. He's from like Cape Breton or whatever, Nova Scotia, or is it Newfoundland? I don't really
00:01:45.660
care. He's running. Why? I don't know. So far, the liberal leadership race is not beating my
00:01:52.640
allegation that it is an on-fire clown car. None of these people have leadership skills at all. They're
00:01:59.360
all as corrupt as Trudeau is, or at least they're tolerant of all the corruption. All their policy is
00:02:04.600
just Trudeau's policy. None of them have ever said that we should go in a different direction. Frankly,
00:02:09.540
the only two who have actually said that the carbon tax should be canceled, I guess actually
00:02:13.780
Chandra Hari as well. That guy doesn't speak French and he barely speaks English. But Frank
00:02:18.260
Bayliss and Christy Clark are at least outside of the party. Maybe the liberals should look at those
00:02:23.220
two. But everyone else is just a carbon copy of Trudeau with none of the charisma and none of the
00:02:29.500
knack for theatrics. Because Trudeau is good at getting attention for himself. Often bad attention,
00:02:35.900
but Mark Carney and Christy Freeland couldn't get attention for themselves if they had like a
00:02:42.460
helmet with road flares strapped to them at their announcement event. Francois-Philippe Champagne
00:02:48.040
is also supposedly supposed to announce tomorrow or announce that he's not running or he is running.
00:02:53.720
Just say if you're running or not, man. Nobody cares. Freeland and Carney are supposedly going to
00:02:59.620
announce they're running sometime this week or this weekend. What? Just announce if you're in the
00:03:06.540
game or not. This is showing what the biggest weakness of the liberal party is. Again, it's good
00:03:12.160
for the conservatives that the liberals are this week. But everyone in the party is either some
00:03:17.140
irrelevant token meant to sit in the parliament and vote for whatever Trudeau wants. Or they are that
00:03:24.140
thing. Plus, they are lifelong bureaucrats or just policy busybodies like Freeland is. She's a former
00:03:31.240
journalist, so she's not a former policy person. But they're all busybodies. They don't have that kind
00:03:37.720
of flash that you need to be leader. The type of person who says, dang it, I'm running. You know,
00:03:42.940
Trudeau's stepping down, I'm running. All of them are like sending out memos behind the scenes on how,
00:03:49.120
oh, I'm thinking about doing this. I'm thinking about doing that. And I might end up announcing
00:03:53.900
potentially that I'm running on Friday at 4.31 p.m. and 30 seconds. And I will say these exact
00:04:01.920
things. It's like, guys, run or don't run. This is why Pure Polly have absolutely clobbered people
00:04:08.740
like Jean Charest and Scott Aitchison. Because those two are mechanical in how they do everything.
00:04:15.240
You can feel the gears turning as they are running for leader. Everything is very dictated out by
00:04:21.420
consultants and strategists. They do everything by focus group. And do you know what Polly have
00:04:26.680
did during the leadership race? He did everything himself pretty much. I always marvel at people
00:04:32.440
trying to take credit for Polly have winning in 2022. Like Jenny Byrne has tried to do that
00:04:36.780
because she was his campaign chair. She didn't do anything. Just like spoiler alert, nobody did
00:04:41.840
anything but Polly have in a few of his friends. Do you know what Polly have did for all of his videos?
00:04:46.960
He didn't use any of the normal conservative video guys and gals because they're consultants,
00:04:53.840
they're strategists. They do everything in a mechanical way. He filmed his stuff by going out
00:04:58.680
with one friend to help script them out, which they didn't even really script any of it out.
00:05:03.180
And one guy with a camera and they shot him walking down the street talking about policy
00:05:06.720
because he has that kind of leadership quality that makes anything he does feel leaderly.
00:05:13.440
He can just turn on the camera and be a leader. Freeland and Carney can't. They need to be
00:05:18.580
surrounded by teleprompters. They need strategists combing out every single word that could be
00:05:23.700
offensive to somebody and just seeming buttoned down and professional. Buttoned down and professional
00:05:28.420
is not leaderly. A buttoned down and professional is what like a mannequin on a storefront looks like.
00:05:34.320
They just have to model the clothes. And that's what Freeland and Carney do. They're coming out to
00:05:38.920
model the policy, but they don't actually have the ability to lead a massive federal party like
00:05:45.580
Trudeau does. Again, is Trudeau good? No, quite the contrary. He is a terrible person, corrupt, terrible
00:05:51.820
policy, all of this stuff. But he can lead a party because he is a force of personality. The liberals have
00:05:58.960
soul sucked and brain drained their party so much under Trudeau that the people running are all
00:06:04.900
complete also-rans or they are just sort of big city networkers like Carney is. They just know a lot
00:06:13.040
of people. That is it. That's not leadership. That's just called networking. They might as well all just
00:06:18.380
go and run an MLM scam at this point because they seem more like one of those people than an actual
00:06:23.400
federal leader. They give Jagmeet Singh a run for his money in being completely incompetent. They have
00:06:29.760
less than 14 days to actually get memberships registered. Maybe they have people doing that in the
00:06:34.580
background for them right now, but it hampers your ability to sign people up when you're not actually in
00:06:39.240
the race. If you're going to be in the race, be in the race. If not, get out. It's so crazy Jeremy Batsy
00:06:46.640
has announced for this thing. That guy was the one. He's indigenous himself, but that guy is the one who made
00:06:52.940
comments on Twitter saying that every time he sees a thin Aboriginal girl, he assumes she's on crystal
00:06:59.780
meth or pills. And then he said that Nova Scotia is the EI province of Canada, the unemployment insurance.
00:07:09.640
These people don't deserve to even be in politics at all. They are in politics because Trudeau has let
00:07:15.700
them be in politics. And now all these people who are only here because Trudeau has waved a magic wand
00:07:20.740
over them and said, you should run too. They're all going to try and become like the, the top job
00:07:26.000
guy. Trudeau never deserved it in the first place. There has been far better people to be liberal
00:07:31.180
leader. If you want to sign up for the liberal party leadership and vote for somebody, I'd actually
00:07:35.940
recommend you'd probably vote for Frank Bayless. All of the options are absolutely abysmal and terrible.
00:07:41.900
Frank Bayless is probably the most normal, more conservative one of the bunch. He opposes the
00:07:46.940
carbon tax. He's not setting his hair on fire about things Trump says, stuff like that. I'd mark
00:07:52.140
like a number two is like Chandra Aria. Terrible candidate, but at least he's against DEI and the
00:07:57.120
carbon tax. Probably Christy Clark would be a good number two or three as well, because at least she's
00:08:02.720
not Mark Carney, the king of central bank digital currencies, or the engineer of the bank for the
00:08:08.980
bank account freeze like Christy Freeland is. So again, I'm not saying you should become a liberal.
00:08:13.260
I'm not. I'm an orthodox across the board conservative, but that party needs actual people
00:08:19.500
in it again, not robots, not modern liberalism robots like they're currently there. Diversity
00:08:26.560
bots, random people who just parrot talking points. The thing is, I like the conservative
00:08:32.160
party. It has problems too, obviously, but I want all of the parties to become more rational,
00:08:38.060
logical, and conservative. So I don't have to fear in the future of a crazy person like Mark Carney or
00:08:44.980
Chrystia Freeland becoming the new prime minister one day after maybe Polyev's government runs its
00:08:51.540
course, and then taking us in the wrong direction so severely that the country might not recover.
00:08:56.740
We almost got broken officially by Justin Trudeau. So it's time that Jagmeet Singh goes away and we have
00:09:03.200
more of a Thomas Mulcair figure leading that party again, or a Jack Layton. And the liberals, we have
00:09:08.360
more of a, you know, a Chrétien or Paul Martin back. Rational people, not obnoxious, far-left
00:09:16.820
bureaucrats who go and speak at the World Economic Forum every year and who care more about the virtue
00:09:22.740
signaling aspect of their policy than whether or not it makes people's lives better or worse.
00:09:27.260
So anyways, that's it for me today, guys. Like the video, subscribe to the channel. I'll see you guys later.
