In this episode, I talk about why the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario is not going to win the election, and why you should vote for the Blue party of Ontario, the Ontario Liberals. Doug Ford is running on a platform of socialist-style spending and tax and spend policies, which is exactly what you should be looking for in a Progressive Conservative government.

00:00:00.000 I'm making this video for all the people who come to me and say,
00:00:04.720 Wyatt, I understand that the new blue party is definitely better than the progressive conservatives in Ontario,
00:00:11.040 but we can't have the NDP or the Ontario Liberals win this election because they're so much worse than the PCs.
00:00:19.080 Doug Ford, the progressive conservative Premier of Ontario,
00:00:23.560 is literally running on socialist-style COVID-19 spending in the 2025 provincial election.
00:00:32.920 A provincial election he called a year and a half before the real election was actually supposed to start
00:00:38.420 because he specifically does not want Polyev becoming prime minister
00:00:42.680 because once Polyev becomes prime minister and he has to run for re-election shortly thereafter,
00:00:47.560 the standards for what a conservative are are going to go up, and Ford cannot abide by that.
00:00:53.740 Check this out. This was an actual part of his election day launch.
00:00:59.720 Since we're at the border, is this more or less a referendum on who's the strongest leader
00:01:03.740 to be able to deal with tariffs, Trump, whatever's coming at you from the U.S.?
00:01:09.280 It's twofold here. It is leadership, leadership, and leadership.
00:01:14.760 And who do you trust to take care of the people of Ontario and the businesses and the workers
00:01:19.620 when times get tough?
00:01:21.620 Not you. Your entire economy is based on taxes and subsidies. My goodness.
00:01:27.680 And they're going to get tough. Do you trust the other parties that all they believe is tax and spend?
00:01:34.320 Or do you believe in the PC party that's going to support you?
00:01:38.780 He is literally not lower taxes, by the way, guys. He's not lower tax.
00:01:42.960 All they care about is taxing and spending. Even if you remove COVID-19 spending from the pandemic,
00:01:50.140 he spent more than Kathleen Wynne in the several years after when he took over as premier. 0.91
00:01:55.380 This is asinine that he is trying to pull this one over on people. 0.84
00:02:00.020 Put tens of billions of dollars into the economy. 0.96
00:02:02.480 Listen to this. This is where the socialist-style stuff goes.
00:02:04.980 So he was just talking about, oh, do you want one of these tax and spend liberals in as the premier?
00:02:09.760 You should have me, the guy who taxes and spends, because I'm tough.
00:02:14.280 Doug Ford is as soft as a jelly donut.
00:02:16.680 And he is out here to pretend that he's Mr. Fiscal Conservative,
00:02:20.380 while he is about to promise you billions of dollars in relief spending.
00:02:24.460 Why relief spending? Because he refuses to secure the border,
00:02:28.760 and he refuses to do anything that would keep tariffs off of us.
00:02:31.680 Because, in fact, he wants tariffs on us, because he gets to pretend he's Mr. Canada 0.99
00:02:36.080 if tariffs go on Canada, and he gets to, like, run around wearing his stupid Canada's not-for-sale hat, 0.98
00:02:42.140 even though he is the one who is making life harder for Canadians in Ontario. 0.99
00:02:46.680 That's going to support you.
00:02:48.300 We're going to put tens of billions of dollars into the economy,
00:02:51.260 just like we did during the pandemic.
00:02:54.460 There's experience on one side with the PC party,
00:02:57.600 and zero experience with the other three parties.
00:03:01.340 He is literally touting his experience, locking people down,
00:03:06.820 and just dumping money into the economy.
00:03:09.680 There is a reason why Ontario is the most indebted state-slash-province in North America,
00:03:17.580 because of people like, I almost said Trudeau, I mean Fat Trudeau here, Doug Ford,
00:03:23.280 who blows money into the economy.
00:03:26.380 For what reason?
00:03:27.880 I don't know.
00:03:28.560 He's buying votes.
00:03:30.060 He's literally attempting to buy votes.
00:03:32.100 He, in fact, was the man who pioneered the $200 handout that Trudeau and David Eby copied.
00:03:39.060 He is literally the originator of socialist policy in Canada.
00:03:44.040 I'll tell you who I'm betting on.
00:03:45.840 I'm betting on the PC party.
00:03:48.720 Dude, even his own brother, I'm not kidding,
00:03:52.240 would call him a pinko when he was the mayor and a councillor,
00:03:56.020 because Doug Ford has the instincts to just give money to people he wants votes from.
00:04:00.720 Oh, manufacturing area of the province?
00:04:02.800 Just dump a billion dollars in to create a bunch of EV and battery plant jobs,
00:04:07.640 and then they'll vote for me.
00:04:09.540 Go and literally co-sponsor, this actually happened,
00:04:12.760 co-sponsor the federal liberals in setting up a cricket factory,
00:04:17.580 a factory meant to produce crickets for human consumption.
00:04:21.220 The PCs supported and celebrated that project.
00:04:24.860 And now this man is here to tell you,
00:04:26.500 I'm not a tax-and-spend liberal,
00:04:28.460 I'm just here to literally dump billions of COVID-style relief spending packages
00:04:37.740 into our economy because Trump is putting tariffs on us
00:04:42.120 that I have done everything in my power to steer into.
00:04:46.440 This is why I'm telling people to vote for the new blue party of Ontario
00:04:50.420 if you live in that province.
00:04:52.820 This guy is out of control.
00:04:54.700 I have still not been able to have a single person who has said,
00:04:58.580 can't vote new blue because the liberals or NDP might win.
00:05:01.740 Not one of those people can tell me a substantial difference
00:05:04.700 between Ford and Bonnie Crombie or Ford and Merritt Stiles.
00:05:08.720 Are those other people good?
00:05:10.760 No. 1.00
00:05:11.540 It's just that Doug Ford sucks as much as them. 0.99
00:05:14.360 The thing is that this does not translate to PPC people saying, 0.99
00:05:18.940 Pierre Polyev and Justin Trudeau are the exact same.
00:05:22.100 They are extremely different.
00:05:23.460 Polyev and Kearney are extremely different.
00:05:26.580 Polyev and Freeland are extremely different.
00:05:28.420 The Conservative Party federally and the Liberal Party federally
00:05:31.580 are extremely different parties with borderline opposite positions
00:05:36.660 on tons of issues, if not at least substantially different.
00:05:41.020 The Ford PC party has had higher spending than the Kathleen Wynne Liberals.
00:05:46.500 They have kept the same extremely high income taxes.
00:05:50.660 Ontario income taxes are kind of hidden in how high they are by the fact that the listed income tax,
00:05:57.080 upper level income tax bracket is only 13%.
00:06:00.620 But if you live in Ontario, obviously you already know that there are surtaxes on top of your tax.
00:06:06.900 So after you pay $5,000 in taxes to the government, they then tax that tax by 25%.
00:06:13.460 And once you start earning more than 70% or once you start giving the government more than $7,200 in tax fees in a year,
00:06:21.620 you then owe them another 33% on every dollar above $7,200.
00:06:25.580 It is a disgusting jurisdiction to do business in.
00:06:29.840 It is in fact, basically outside of maybe Quebec and the Maritimes,
00:06:34.140 the highest tax province or jurisdiction in North America.
00:06:38.600 Even Alberta is not as low tax as like places like New York and California,
00:06:44.060 despite how high tax their reputation is in the United States.
00:06:47.220 But that's mostly because of federal taxes.
00:06:49.760 In Ontario, it's so bad that they can bind to the point where upper level income brackets
00:06:55.220 are literally like 54% combined between federal and provincial without even bringing property taxes into it.
00:07:03.080 This government doesn't deserve your vote if you're a conservative.
00:07:06.240 If you are a federal conservative, I cannot in good conscience say that it is a good option to vote for the PC party.
00:07:13.960 If you live in Ontario, please vote for the New Blue Party of Ontario.
00:07:18.200 If you live in Halderman, Norfolk's provincial riding, vote for Bobbie Ann Brady. 0.99
00:07:22.880 She's a great independent.
00:07:23.880 She's currently the independent MPP of the art riding and one of very few independents who has ever won election flat out.
00:07:31.100 She didn't win as a party and then become an independent.
00:07:33.600 She just flat out won as an independent.
00:07:35.180 She is like the absolute monster when you consider how difficult that is.
00:07:39.640 Vote for the New Blue Party. 0.69
00:07:41.040 If you live in Ontario and your riding doesn't have a New Blue candidate, sign up to be the New Blue candidate.
00:07:46.320 Even if you're not able to campaign a lot in the next 30 days, have the option on the ballot because all three of these parties, the PCs, the NDP, and the Liberals of Ontario are truly just socialist parties.
00:07:59.760 They are slightly different levels of socialist parties, but it's hard to even say it's that different in practice because I haven't seen the Ontario Liberals or Ontario NDP govern in quite a while now.
00:08:12.440 So who knows?
00:08:13.420 Maybe Bonnie Crombie is more fiscally conservative than Ford. 1.00
00:08:17.360 I cannot tell you she isn't with gun-to-my-head certainty.
00:08:21.460 That's how bad things are.
00:08:22.780 Oh, but Ford's against the carbon tax.
00:08:24.540 So is Bonnie Crombie.
00:08:25.940 But both of them are still in favor of industrial carbon taxes because that's the way you do an end run around these things.
00:08:33.000 You just say you're against carbon taxes while just implementing a different version of the carbon tax.
00:08:38.500 People are literally criticizing Carney and Freeland for this right now, and rightfully so, when they say they're against the consumer carbon tax.
00:08:45.660 But they just have their own carbon tax scheme in the background.
00:08:49.020 That's what Ford does.
00:08:50.240 He literally does that.
00:08:51.880 While opposing the federal carbon tax on the surface, although he literally screwed up the court case the Ontario government ran against consumer carbon tax,
00:09:01.020 he literally had his legal team basically give the entire argument to the federals and just say, we don't like it, and surprise, they lost.
00:09:08.760 But Ford, at the same time that all this is happening, has implemented his own provincial industrial carbon tax.
00:09:15.660 Doesn't seem very conservative to me.
00:09:18.840 It's wild to think that anyone sees this guy as conservative.
00:09:22.740 He's not a conservative.
00:09:23.840 He is a progressive.
00:09:24.920 He does not get to own the second word in the party's title.
00:09:28.720 He is a progressive, not a conservative.
00:09:31.700 Please vote for the new blue party.
00:09:33.440 As I keep saying, it is a party that is not trying to do anything radical.
00:09:37.580 They just want, basically, the promises that Ford and the PCs falsely made back in 2018 to actually be achieved.
00:09:45.680 You know, parental rights, reforming the school system, cracking down on crime, lowering taxes, lowering spending, ripping the dumb windmills out of the ground and actually making power cheaper again.
00:09:58.040 Just stuff like that.
00:09:58.920 Normal stuff.
00:10:00.480 You know, not blowing billions of dollars into the economy to make whatever big corporations that are backing Doug Ford happy.
00:10:08.580 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:10:12.260 I'll see you next time.
00:10:13.440 No, not today.
00:10:14.360 This isn't it for this video.
00:10:15.600 I have a habit that I'm trying to get over of saying, this is it for me today.
00:10:18.840 Because I used to only make one video a day, and now sometimes I make, like, two or three, and I seem like an idiot whenever I say, that's it for me today, and then you see me again an hour later.
00:10:28.240 I'm working on it, guys.
00:10:30.120 Check out the new blue party website if you're in Ontario.
00:10:33.280 See you around.
