The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Huge rally for Poilievre as Carney's Liberals call cops on fishermen!

00:00:00.080 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. It's day two of Canada's federal election campaign, and man, if you were to base how this is going to go on how day one went, Mark Carney and the federal liberals are screwed. They had a terrible day one. 0.78

00:00:15.940 It turns out running an awkward robot who looks like Mr. Burns as your candidate for prime minister is a bad idea. So after Carney gave a very sleepy announcement to the start of Canada's federal election, he then tried to have a dueling rally with Pierre Polyev and the conservatives, where the liberals tried to have a rally in St. John's, where the conservatives had one in the Toronto area.

00:00:40.000 And naturally, it is easier to bring people out in the GTA because the population concentration is stronger, but Polyev has shown that he can do a rally in Sudbury and still have over 1,000 people show up, whereas Mark Carney's St. John's rally, an area that should be an easy win for the liberals, only had about 200, 300 people out.

00:01:01.520 And when you take all the media and staffers out of the room, you're probably down to about 100 actual people who live in St. John's who showed up, whereas Pierre Polyev and the conservatives had 2,500 people packed into a ballroom to listen to Polyev's speech, and then there were still hundreds of people left outside.

00:01:20.960 In fact, this had so much attention, not only in real life, but online, that fellow content creator, the Pleb Reporter, had his phone crash while streaming it because there was so much activity on his stream from chats and whatnot.

00:01:34.960 Absolutely insane. I want to get into this issue a little bit more in just a second, but I want to remind you guys, if you like my election coverage and you want to keep up, make sure to like the video, leave a comment, because it does help us on the algorithm.

00:01:46.800 I like to scroll through and see what people think. And then make sure to subscribe if you're not yet a subscriber. As you can see down here, you're trying to get to 100,000 subscribers, and I'm trying to do that by mid-December, and right now we are on track, so thank you all who are subscribing.

00:02:02.680 Let's jump over to talking about Mark Carney's rally, because while Mark Carney had about 250, 300 people inside, he had probably another 150 people outside who were protesting him, and this is a very key demographic.

00:02:19.720 It's not a bunch of conservative trolls showing up just to make Mark Carney's life difficult. These are fishermen in Newfoundland who showed up to protest Mark Carney's own Minister of Fisheries for basically passing a bunch of new regulations that makes it harder to harvest snow crabs.

00:02:37.360 I think it actually is reducing the harvest by 25% this year, which means the economy is going to be absolutely devastated in fishing communities, and when I say fishing communities, I'm talking about Newfoundland because it is effectively a giant fishing community with some oil and gas.

00:02:53.920 Good job, Mark Carney. Like, my goodness, you'd think his people, if they were smarter, would have him avoid this area like the plague, or at least do it, like, at the very end when people aren't expecting him to show up?

00:03:05.480 And this is what Mark Carney sounded like at his rally. The man is a broken record. Apparently, he is still running for a liberal leader because he hasn't adjusted his script at all, and it wasn't a good script to begin with.

00:03:18.660 Over the years, I've learned a few things about how to manage crisis. And the important thing when you're in a crisis is to know the difference between what you can change and what you can't. We can't change Donald Trump.

00:03:35.480 And a person who worships Donald Trump, like Pierre Polyev, will kneel down before him, not stand up.

00:03:44.320 Well, it's contradicted by the facts, which is that Donald Trump, in fact, didn't endorse Pierre Polyev, but he endorsed the liberals because he sized up Mark Carney, like Gumby Mr. Burns, and thought, yeah, I can negotiate with this guy.

00:04:00.600 He doesn't want to negotiate with somebody who he likes who's tough. He would rather negotiate with someone he doesn't like if he can get what he wants out of them.

00:04:09.800 Because guess what? Donald Trump is the president of the United States. He doesn't have to care about Canadian domestic policy.

00:04:15.840 If anything, the liberals destroying the economy is a good thing for Donald Trump in the U.S.

00:04:21.500 because it ends up sending a lot more high-skilled workers over their border, and it makes sure that they end up inheriting a lot of the industries that are falling apart in Canada.

00:04:30.980 And that leads me to also wanting to talk about, right after I get to this fisheries thing, the whole tax issue.

00:04:36.120 Because this tax issue is going to be a major element of the campaign, and that is Carney and Polyev both announcing tax cuts, one obviously being a better plan than the other.

00:04:48.440 And I think that it needs to get out there just how little Mark Carney is willing to give back.

00:04:53.820 After five years of being the economic advisor and saying nothing about doing any of this stuff, suddenly he's in favor of tax cuts.

00:04:59.900 And when I say tax cuts, I mean like literally reducing taxes by the smallest possible amount just to get through the election campaign.

00:05:07.900 But here are the fishermen outside that they weren't letting into the rally to be able to ask questions about the whole fisheries issue.

00:05:15.860 And hilariously enough, the St. John's candidate the liberals are running is the minister of fisheries.

00:05:20.460 So not only are they mad at the government, but they're mad at their local MP.

00:05:24.660 I could see St. John's going down hard.

00:05:27.040 And in fact, I will bring up the 338 numbers in just a second here.

00:05:42.600 And you can even tell the real guys like just I'm not trying to be stereotypical, but you look at that crowd of people and you're like, yeah, those are fishermen.

00:05:54.600 They look like fishermen.

00:05:55.720 This is not like a bunch of conservative agitators showing up just to mess with them.

00:06:00.280 Those were actual fishermen who obviously just it's not like they don't they don't think it's ideal, the liberal policies, or maybe they could be a little bit less, you know, a little less critical.

00:06:11.220 No, these are people who like their lives are being destroyed by bad liberal regulations.

00:06:16.800 I just want to quickly jump over these 338 numbers right now.

00:06:20.080 Right now, St. John's East is a safe riding, but a riding that the liberals do need to be picking up if they want to be able to win a minority or majority government is St. John's East croaks, which is now currently going towards the conservatives with a 79% chance of winning.

00:06:35.620 And remember, these are projections based off of polling I don't even particularly agree with the pollsters I follow are innovative research as well as abacus data innovative research admittedly does show the liberals plus one at the moment.

00:06:49.640 And then abacus data shows the conservatives plus three.

00:06:53.240 But again, I think we are now currently leaving the liberal honeymoon.

00:06:56.840 The liberal honeymoon pretty much ends as soon as you call an election because people are willing to have artificially nice feelings about you because you're the new prime minister.

00:07:04.520 You know, let's give them a chance.

00:07:05.920 This happened for Kim Campbell, too.

00:07:07.740 Kim Campbell took the PCs from being at like 18% in the polls, 21%, all the way to like 35%.

00:07:13.640 And she actually eclipsed the liberals under Chrétien for a short period of time before falling back down on her face because eventually the election got called and people were like, oh, yeah, I hate Kim Campbell. 0.98

00:07:25.180 And they stopped voting for her because there's no incentive anymore to have nice feelings. 0.78

00:07:29.740 Because when I say incentive, I mean, most people in their day to day lives don't want to assume things are falling apart.

00:07:35.400 And so when some new guys made prime minister and things are super bad under Justin Trudeau and you're asked, do you like Mark Carney?

00:07:41.660 Well, he's not Justin Trudeau.

00:07:43.420 So a lot of people who aren't thinking like very critically about it are just going to be like, oh, yeah, probably a nice boy.

00:07:49.520 Not realizing that the man was literally the economic advisor for five straight years and didn't do anything good.

00:07:57.000 And in fact, Chrystia Freeland eventually resigned as finance minister because she was never allowed to make her own decisions as finance minister because it was all being done by Mark Carney.

00:08:06.440 Do you believe that Trudeau is making these calls?

00:08:09.100 I don't think Trudeau makes calls on what he eats for breakfast in the morning and he's going to somehow be the man in charge of finance policy.

00:08:16.660 Not a chance.

00:08:18.200 But anyways, now I want to move over to the issue of taxes because today Mark Carney has announced a 1% tax cut.

00:08:28.320 Oh, my goodness.

00:08:31.540 That's not like 1% of what you pay.

00:08:33.640 It's like 1%, like one digit point of what you pay.

00:08:36.660 So if you're paying 15%, you'll pay 14%.

00:08:39.820 Not terrible.

00:08:41.660 Not good.

00:08:42.940 That is not what you need to restart an economy.

00:08:45.280 The estimate on what Mark Carney will be saving families per year is $839, around that.

00:08:51.240 Again, it's better than a kick in the face.

00:08:53.640 I'm in favor of anyone lowering taxes.

00:08:55.560 But this is where I give pure poly of a lot of credit because he's actually announced a far more substantive tax cut of 15%.

00:09:04.460 That's not 15 total points.

00:09:06.700 That is like taking 15% of what you're paying and reducing that.

00:09:11.280 I hope he then also reduces the corporate taxes.

00:09:16.940 You're already being slammed as the corporate guy.

00:09:18.860 And in fact, it's immoral to be taxing our corporations this much, destroying our economy for no good reason.

00:09:25.480 At the same time, the Americans are reducing their own corporate taxes.

00:09:28.600 Scott Hayward had a good way of putting it here.

00:09:30.920 So he was correcting someone who was saying it's a 15% compared to a 1%.

00:09:34.840 It's different measurements.

00:09:36.380 He says it's a 15% decrease to 14% with Carney and 15% to 12.75% with Polyev.

00:09:44.640 So it's a 2.25% reduction off of 15%.

00:09:48.660 That's good.

00:09:49.800 Obviously, you can't slash at 50% or anything like that.

00:09:53.380 You know, the government still needs revenues until it finally cuts taxes and gets its spending under control.

00:09:59.340 So it is always going to be a controlled burn.

00:10:02.060 I would like Polyev in four years to eventually, or maybe in a second term, if he gets a first term, to push for like a 25% overall tax burden reduction.

00:10:12.680 And this on top of the fact he's getting rid of the consumer carbon tax and the industrial carbon tax means that when you actually add up all your tax savings and the fact that food prices are going to go down, it's going to have a doubling effect.

00:10:25.100 Well, Carney's increasing the industrial carbon tax while he's kind of getting rid of the consumer carbon tax, but also taking away the rebate, which again, the rebate was never paying for itself, but it was sort of reducing the pain.

00:10:36.460 It was nonsensical because are you trying to reduce emissions?

00:10:40.000 Because if you're giving people their money back, what's the point?

00:10:42.180 And then they'd be like, no, you're actually making money on the carbon tax, which was false, but it doesn't matter.

00:10:47.820 I just want to jump over to Polyev announcing this policy.

00:10:50.140 This was at the rally last night, and again, it's a very good point.

00:10:55.040 It's just a very good thing to be running on.

00:10:57.960 It's something that every person who especially is making higher levels of income will sit down and they'll have to stop if they were thinking of voting liberal and think, well, I'm going to save 1% of my tax, but with them, I'm going to save two and a quarter, which is substantially better.

00:11:13.900 And the cost savings with this are like $1,800 in terms of your actual tax savings per year.

00:11:20.060 The father and a son sitting in a park on a bench, and the son said, Dad, what is an income tax form?

00:11:30.080 And the father looked at him and said, well, son, it's the opposite of your report card.

00:11:34.940 The better you do, the more you get punished.

00:11:38.500 It's the fine you pay for the crime of working hard.

00:11:43.260 And that's on top of all the other taxes you pay.

00:11:46.440 There's the GST and PST and HST, capital gains tax, the carbon tax on top of the gas tax, property tax, payroll tax, tax on imports, tax on exports, sin tax, the list.

00:11:56.920 I don't need to show you this whole thing, but I think his approach on this is brilliant.

00:12:00.860 It's very technical.

00:12:02.300 This is the thing with pure Polyev.

00:12:04.300 Polyev, he's good with slogans, and I'm fine with that.

00:12:07.260 I'm not a big slogans guy, so I don't like when politicians overuse them because eventually it does become the parody of itself that we're going to ax the tax, we're going to build the homes, we're going to verb the noun.

00:12:19.400 But Polyev is very good long form in terms of, yeah, that's only a two-minute ad.

00:12:24.440 But he's better in two minutes than he is in 30 seconds.

00:12:27.740 He's kind of a young Ross Perot, if you know what I'm saying for people who are a bit older and remember Ross Perot.

00:12:33.960 I'm 25 going on 86, so of course I know who Ross Perot is.

00:12:38.400 But Polyev, he needs to be given a little pointy wooden stick, and he needs to be pointing at a chart in his ads and showing how much taxes have gone up, showing how little per capita incomes have gone up.

00:12:49.500 It needs to be a campaign of big, audacious ideas and a lot of technical information, because Carney is supposedly the expert and goes after pure Polyev for not having a long resume.

00:13:01.000 I don't care about credentialism.

00:13:02.580 I care about what you're actually going to do.

00:13:04.360 And Polyev should fire back by actually showing that he can explain the stuff that Mark Carney is basically just absolutely flagellant on.

00:13:12.700 Mark Carney doesn't have anything to say.

00:13:14.120 We saw in that clip, he's just repeating microwaved leadership points about how we've got to stand up strong to Donald Trump, not sit down weakly, I guess, and hope for death.

00:13:25.080 And that's it.

00:13:26.160 There's just nothing going on with Carney's campaign.

00:13:28.700 Look at this.

00:13:29.600 He's rehashing.

00:13:30.720 They re-released, because apparently they didn't have anything else to put out.

00:13:34.100 They re-released this ad, a longer version of it.

00:13:38.080 Oh my goodness, why do we need a longer version of it, of him sitting down with Mike Myers and talking about nothing.

00:13:44.980 This is what I can't stand in the world.

00:13:46.940 And we're the country that stands up to bullies.

00:13:51.060 Yeah.

00:13:51.500 And I hope, and I know that you will, but I hope we continue to be the good guys.

00:13:58.760 I like somebody who worked for Hollywood for years, an industry known for bullies and sexual abusers and people not calling it out, is here to say, we stand up to bullies.

00:14:09.720 By the way, in one of my last videos, I played a clip of you were sent in of Mike Myers back in 2015, saying, like, endorsing the idea that Obama endorsed Justin Trudeau.

00:14:20.580 And he said, I'm in favor of foreign interference because it's the Canadian way of, like, he made a joke about how, like, we're so nice, we let other people endorse our politicians from other countries.

00:14:30.980 But now Mike Myers and liberals are super, super offended that Donald Trump has endorsed them, in fact, because they are weak.

00:14:38.580 And now it's foreign interference.

00:14:40.060 Now that Donald Trump has said a word about Canada, even though he's mostly just talking about Canada from his own position of currently being, having trade tensions, that is foreboding.

00:14:51.840 That is wrong, but Obama can do it because, of course, he can.

00:14:56.100 These people have no consistency at all.

00:14:58.700 And I think this was a great post by Steve Deason, a great way of summing up the current problems with Mark Carney as a potential prime minister.

00:15:07.120 I know he's technically the prime minister now, but he hasn't really served a second on the actual job.

00:15:13.280 But Steve Deason here says, fundamental problems for Mark Carney.

00:15:17.020 He advised Trudeau during COVID leading to record inflation.

00:15:20.220 The only policies he's proposed were already proposed by Polyev.

00:15:23.760 Bullied and harassed staff during his time at the Bank of England.

00:15:27.260 Was wrong about the UK housing bubble.

00:15:29.100 Brexit, now they have record inflation.

00:15:31.220 Tried to take credit for Harper Flaherty fiscal policy when he himself said he's a monetary policy guy.

00:15:36.460 He can't answer a question.

00:15:38.620 Absolutely.

00:15:39.720 His resume is fake.

00:15:41.520 He comes off as a fake person in real life.

00:15:44.280 And he cannot disconnect himself from the record of Justin Trudeau, the biggest boat anchor on their campaign.

00:15:51.700 By the way, somebody should see if they're actually going to have Trudeau on the campaign.

00:15:57.300 Because are they upset about the record?

00:15:59.820 Because I think every single liberal should have to answer, why do you not want Justin Trudeau campaigning with you?

00:16:05.360 Because the answer is basically, we messed up.

00:16:08.080 But the problem is the liberals don't want to admit they messed up.

00:16:10.580 They just want to pretend like we're moving forward.

00:16:13.040 We're bringing Canada into the future with forward momentum and standing up strong to Trump. 0.98

00:16:18.880 They want it to just be just bloated garbage rhetoric.

00:16:22.560 But now, because I've highlighted a conservative poster online, I want to highlight a liberal poster. 0.81

00:16:28.280 The unhinged feelings people have towards pure poly are quite something, or just the conservatives in general.

00:16:35.080 These people are allowed to vote, and they should be allowed to vote, but it still scares the heck out of me.

00:16:42.400 This guy, Rusty Idols, who is a big lefty on social media, says,

00:16:46.360 The Conservative Party of Canada base is deeply, unabashedly, and openly racist and bigoted. 0.90

00:16:52.400 They are filled with hate for immigrants, First Nations, and sexual minorities.

00:16:56.360 The CPC is unwilling to challenge or call out this hate for fear of losing the hate vote to the PPC. 0.96

00:17:02.460 I like how they're openly racist and bigoted.

00:17:06.880 And also, for some reason, they don't want to call it out.

00:17:10.040 I thought they were unabashedly evil.

00:17:12.800 I thought they were openly.

00:17:14.340 But now, apparently, they're not openly.

00:17:16.020 They just won't say anything.

00:17:17.120 Even in his own post, he's contradicting himself.

00:17:19.280 But it's always this same gunk. 0.99

00:17:22.900 They're racist. 1.00

00:17:24.300 You're homophobic. 0.99

00:17:25.720 You don't like whatever person. 1.00

00:17:27.860 You're xenophobic.

00:17:29.060 Isn't the liberals reducing immigration, too?

00:17:31.400 It's not xenophobic to be able to do math, by the way.

00:17:34.660 If you figure out that there's too many people entering the country, and it is suppressing wages, 1.00

00:17:39.180 and it's not leading to a more productive workforce,

00:17:41.980 yes, we need to reduce immigration.

00:17:44.780 People, there's not enough houses for the amount of warm bodies entering the country.

00:17:49.760 Well, the immigration rate needs to be slashed hard. 1.00

00:17:52.340 And that's actually one of these areas.

00:17:54.140 I still say that Polyev needs to commit to an even lower immigration rate.

00:17:58.600 I personally, my ideal is $100,000 a year.

00:18:01.200 I know some people say zero.

00:18:02.900 It's emotionally satisfying to say zero.

00:18:04.880 But zero in and of itself is actually inflexible.

00:18:08.360 What happens if you actually do find a bunch of skilled workers who want to work in, like, a new mine that you have?

00:18:15.280 That you have a bunch of people who are miners from out in Nigeria or people who work in Europe in different sectors that you'll want to bring into Canada,

00:18:23.020 and you can't because the immigration rate is zero.

00:18:25.840 I think that you need a number that allows you to be flexible while also having a strict point system and a value test.

00:18:32.620 If we only find 50,000 people in a year who fit the bill, we only found 50,000 people, and that's just how it goes.

00:18:38.920 But, yeah, so I hope that Polyev doesn't have to run on my ideal, but he's currently running on an immigration rate of 200,000, 250,000.

00:18:46.760 The problem is you don't want to run on a number that Carney could technically effectively match you with, taking that away from you.

00:18:53.040 You run on something your opponent would never run on, and that's why Polyev running on getting rid of the industrial carbon tax is brilliant,

00:19:00.000 because Carney won't commit to it, which means that you can actually draw a contrast.

00:19:03.680 If Polyev runs on 150,000 immigration cap, immediately Carney is the mass immigration guy decisively,

00:19:11.660 where right now Carney's only really running on about 100,000 more people than Polyev is, 250,000 compared to 350,000.

00:19:18.720 So go half of what Carney's saying, because he's the guy employing someone from the Century Initiative.

00:19:24.520 Anyways, that was a bit of a pit stop there, but I want to move on to his second post here.

00:19:28.980 The CPC base hates their country and their fellow Canadians.

00:19:32.520 Is that why the Freedom Convoy is flying Canadian flags and wanting them to represent freedom?

00:19:37.720 They hate it. The Liberals hated the Canadian flag when it was representing freedom.

00:19:41.460 They like it now when it just represents anti-Americanism.

00:19:44.960 They adore authoritarian leaders like Trump and Putin. Oh my goodness, no.

00:19:48.840 Like, Trump's fine. Trump's mostly a generic conservative overall, so I understand why people like Trump.

00:19:53.940 I like Trump on a lot of stuff, but how many conservatives like Putin? 1.00

00:19:57.420 You're an idiot if you think that. Oh, the conservatives like Idi Amin. The conservatives like Hitler. 1.00

00:20:02.560 Shut up. You guys actually have people wearing hammer and sickle t-shirts who are currently MPs like Jamie Batsy. 0.99

00:20:08.880 I always find NDP and Liberal candidates every election when I dig into them who have pictures of Mao and Che Guevara on their own social media timelines.

00:20:17.360 Because they're leftists. Which conservative candidate has pictures of Franco on his social media timeline?

00:20:24.340 Tell me. Oh my goodness.

00:20:26.340 But this guy goes on to say they swim in online waters.

00:20:30.800 Full foreign propaganda and anti-Canadian bot swarms.

00:20:33.780 But he's online too, this guy.

00:20:35.500 The party will not condemn this for fear of losing their treason vote to the PPC.

00:20:40.160 The PPC base hates the thought of poor seniors getting dental care or diabetes-free insulin.

00:20:45.740 I'm just going to stop it here.

00:20:47.320 I always love every single election.

00:20:49.900 The lefties come out of the woodwork to go full conspiracy theory.

00:20:53.680 That the conservatives don't just have policies we disagree with.

00:20:56.660 No, no, no, no.

00:20:57.420 The conservatives actively want you to be poor and they're going to push your grandmother down the stairs. 1.00

00:21:02.460 You are a political five-year-old if you actually just believe the other guys are the villains.

00:21:07.000 Do I think that Carney is terrible for the country?

00:21:10.700 Sure.

00:21:11.300 Is he like actively a villain? 1.00

00:21:13.360 No, he just has stupid ideas. 1.00

00:21:15.440 I don't think that anyone is actually running as like a, you know, a bad faith actor trying to ruin the country. 1.00

00:21:22.220 You know, I think they might ruin the country.

00:21:23.900 But it's through their policies that they think are going to work, just absolutely failing.

00:21:29.140 Yeah, there are some people cynically running on things that they know don't work.

00:21:32.240 That basically defines Jagmeet Singh, the NDP.

00:21:34.380 He, Jagmeet Singh, knows better than to run on the things he's running on.

00:21:37.380 He just wants the attention.

00:21:38.700 But at the same time, he's not malicious. 1.00

00:21:40.500 He's just very cynical and stupid. 1.00

00:21:43.120 And that's it. 1.00

00:21:44.020 But liberals always run on the conspiracy theory that no, no, no. 0.94

00:21:48.120 It's actually that the liberals or the conservatives are evil, which is insane.

00:21:54.060 I just want to highlight this thing that both my friend Brittany and Kat Kanda highlighted.

00:21:58.240 This is actually, again, from day one.

00:21:59.660 And I want to highlight also how this went badly.

00:22:02.580 So look at the um counter here.

00:22:05.120 On day one, Carney performatively went to a church in the morning to pretend that he goes to church or he has any religious values.

00:22:15.480 Like, I don't want to, like, I know people are saying you're attacking his daughter.

00:22:19.080 Juno News showed that his daughter, who is trans apparently, went to the Tavistock Institute in the UK.

00:22:24.620 That actually should be a sort of minor campaign issue, that your daughter went to an area that was shut down for child abuse because of how insane their, like, transgender, gender theory type services were.

00:22:39.520 They were pushing it on minors.

00:22:41.760 And you sent your kid there?

00:22:42.880 That's a problem.

00:22:43.740 But no, this man apparently goes to church.

00:22:45.540 Like, I don't think he does.

00:22:47.080 But look at the ums in this minute and a half.

00:22:49.220 You're a practicing Catholic.

00:22:50.600 You went to church before you visited the governor general this morning.

00:22:54.500 Do you explicitly support a woman's right to choose?

00:22:59.260 And how will your faith impact your policy deliberations should you win this election?

00:23:04.600 Thank you for the question.

00:23:05.780 I wouldn't have drawn attention to the fact I went to church, but thank you for noting it.

00:23:09.900 The, uh, I absolutely support a woman's right to choose, unreservedly. 0.88

00:23:14.520 Um, he definitely fits in in Pope Francis's church, considering that he's in favor of abortion, drugs, and a lot of other stuff.

00:23:22.680 And, uh, will defend it, uh, as the Liberal Party has defended it, um, uh, proudly, um, and consistently.

00:23:30.700 Uh, I will defend, uh, the charter, uh, proudly and consistently as the Liberal Party does.

00:23:37.840 I would say this.

00:23:40.300 I don't, uh, speak, I don't speak about these matters.

00:23:44.380 Um, I think what's relevant, uh, when I say matters, my personal faith or spirituality, but I'll say what's relevant is that, uh, it informs my sense of, uh, responsibility and service.

00:24:00.720 Uh, I feel, uh, you know, that I should, uh, notice how he didn't say morality there should serve our country the best I can.

00:24:10.420 And if I go back to, uh, my journey to be standing in front of you here, um, I did feel at the turn of the, uh, at the turn of the year, uh, as the crisis bore down on us and the need for big change, uh, that I should put my hand up, uh, and be part of that change.

00:24:28.960 Um, I'm humbled that notice how in that entire interaction where he's talking about faith, he doesn't even invoke God because he doesn't actually obviously have any faith.

00:24:43.380 It is just performative civic religion that he takes part in.

00:24:47.020 And again, for the most part, like as a Baptist who are actually very pro separation of church and state, just don't even mention it.

00:24:54.600 If it doesn't actually matter to you, stop bringing it up.

00:24:57.720 I know the reporter brought it up.

00:24:59.280 He should have his hand waved it away because he obviously doesn't really care.

00:25:02.860 It's just gross whenever people do this, like suddenly he's like attending services or whatever.

00:25:08.540 You know, I'm joking a little bit here, but maybe Oliver Cromwell was a hundred percent right.

00:25:13.240 Um, but here's also one thing that I wanted to highlight as a good piece of news on the polling front.

00:25:19.380 This was from the Abacus data poll where the conservatives were only ahead by three points, a little bit of an uncomfortable lead.

00:25:25.440 They'll want to be about five to six points ahead to actually have a chance at a majority.

00:25:30.900 Ideally, if they pull ahead eight points, this thing's wrapped up.

00:25:34.220 If they fall back a point and a half, then it's like a liberal minority because the liberals do, in fact, still have what is a more efficient vote.

00:25:43.400 Where the conservatives win by Saddam Hussein numbers in places like Battle River, Alberta.

00:25:48.580 But then when you go to the GTA, the liberals are winning seats with like 37 percent of the vote.

00:25:53.620 Very slim, minor wins, but it's a win is a win.

00:25:57.420 But this poll does have a good piece of news for the conservatives.

00:26:00.440 So the conservatives naturally have a smaller base of people who consider voting for them, but it's more likely to turn out.

00:26:06.780 And since 2021, the pool of voters considering voting conservative has gone from 44 percent to 50 percent, whereas the liberals, and naturally it's a default party because it's between the NDP and the conservatives, their accessible voters have gone from 54 percent to 52.

00:26:23.800 We can maybe call that not much of a change.

00:26:26.200 But the whole point is that conservatives and liberals are effectively within the margin of error of consideration for most people.

00:26:31.940 And then the new Democrats, this is the real story of the election.

00:26:36.540 They went from 50 percent in 2021 to 38 percent now in 2025.

00:26:41.920 This is the one thing that's helping the liberals a lot is the sheer weakness of the Singh NDP.

00:26:48.640 Hopefully the NDP gets their traction, starts winning back their socialistic voters again to deprive them from going to the liberals, but still.

00:26:56.240 And then over here, actually, the bloc has went from 44 and 21 to 46 percent in 2025.

00:27:02.640 That's probably with a very small sample size because that's only counting Quebec.

00:27:06.360 But that's why I was always skeptical whenever I see polls saying that the bloc Quebecois are going to go from seven and a half percent in 2021 to like five or six.

00:27:18.340 Nothing that Blanchet has done indicates to me that Quebecers don't like him.

00:27:23.080 In fact, provincially, the CAQ and the PQ, two separatist or very nationalistic parties, are the two top parties with a combined vote over 50 percent.

00:27:33.080 And then the PCQ, the conservatives, are actually doing pretty well on the provincial polling level in Quebec.

00:27:38.560 So I don't see Quebec swinging hard liberal this election. 0.98

00:27:41.880 On top of the fact that Carney sucks at French, it will come out that he sucks at French.

00:27:47.960 Paulyev should want two French debates rather than if he could choose between having two English debates and one French debate and two French debates and one English, I'd go for the two French because they need to see that Carney sound like imagine someone with a really heavy accent in English and you can't quite understand them.

00:28:03.520 That's kind of like Carney in French.

00:28:05.880 You can know the words, but it's clunky and it sounds rusty.

00:28:09.620 And they should just be demonstrating that this guy did not learn French in all of his years in government, which actually does seem like a bit of a disrespect that the guy had nothing better to do.

00:28:18.460 He was working for the federal government and could not pick up a solid French accent the entire time.

00:28:23.820 So anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.

00:28:27.940 Looking pretty good for the conservatives so far.

00:28:30.140 I do hope that they come out with very audacious policies.

00:28:33.620 If you want to win the election, you'll want people talking about your policies.

00:28:37.580 Don't go mild.

00:28:38.320 Don't go Aaron O'Toole.

00:28:39.320 Don't go like Stephen Harper in 2015.

00:28:41.700 Don't go Andrew Scheer in 2019.

00:28:44.000 Go hard because every time the conservatives lose an election, it's because something controversial happens.

00:28:49.420 And then they circle the wagons and then they just start having their territory shrink on them.

00:28:55.120 If you win a war, and politics is sort of a metaphorical war, you always are attacking and defending at the same time.

00:29:01.680 You defend places where you can't move forward and where places you can move forward, you attack and gain more territory.

00:29:07.920 Block house warfare, where all you do is put blocks hoses along your borders and just hope that you can hold them off. 0.93

00:29:13.800 That only means that you will hold on to the territory you currently have and win nothing else.

00:29:18.320 So anyways.

00:29:19.720 That's it, guys.
