If you watch this channel with any regularity, you're not going to be shocked by the news I have
00:00:05.500
for you today that the Liberal Party of Canada has made yet another embarrassing strategic mistake.
00:00:11.200
But it's not just a regular embarrassing strategic mistake. Like I have mentioned in the past,
00:00:16.180
it is something truly special. Justin Trudeau, for some reason, is throwing all of his resources
00:00:21.620
behind the Liberal campaign in the Durham riding since Aaron O'Toole stepped down. There's going
00:00:26.420
to be a by-election. And for some reason, they picked a Conservative nomination candidate
00:00:32.080
to be their actual Liberal candidate in this riding. It's so embarrassing, I love it. But
00:00:39.900
for some reason, they are fanatically behind this man, Robert Rock, who in articles literally
00:00:45.240
describes himself as a fiscal Conservative, who criticizes Justin Trudeau as an incompetent leader,
00:00:50.240
but is now here a couple months later after losing the nomination to Jamil Giovanni for Durham,
00:00:56.420
is here running as the Liberal candidate in Durham. I don't know what it is about the Liberals
00:01:01.600
that have made them seem to stick all of their money behind him in this race. He's not going to
00:01:06.740
win. It just looks silly and embarrassing. This is a riding the Liberals have not won since 2000.
00:01:12.400
And yet, Justin Trudeau is fanatically acting like this is their moment to win. I'm going to play you
00:01:17.480
the clips that they've been uploading. It's quite amazing.
00:01:19.560
The basic, most basic element of politics is choosing someone to be your voice in Parliament.
00:01:29.820
Making sure that the person you send to Ottawa to represent you, to stand for you, to fight for you,
00:01:39.740
The guy you are running, you don't even seem to know him. He literally ran ads against you when he
00:01:47.020
was the Conservative nomination candidate. He was talking about how awful you are. And for some
00:01:51.640
reason, you were dumb enough to make him your candidate because you have no standards. Because
00:01:55.420
the Liberals only want power. And if Robert Rock maybe has a better list than another Liberal local
00:02:01.160
candidate might have, they're going to use him because he might have more data for them to use.
00:02:09.040
Shares your values, shares your perspective, understands the responsibility.
00:02:14.520
Is the Liberal Party a fiscally Conservative Party now? Robert Rock seems like a very, very big
00:02:20.680
red Tory. But he's at least Conservative on some issue. So if anything, he's out of step with the
00:02:28.120
He's literally not here to fight for you. Spoiler alert, Justin. Robert Rock would have run against
00:02:50.080
you as the Conservative nomination candidate if he beat Jamil Javani. Because Jamil Javani stomped him
00:02:56.160
because Jamil is an actual Conservative and Robert Rock is one of these half-y fake
00:03:00.740
red Tory Conservatives. That's why he is now running for you guys. You are literally his second pick.
00:03:07.260
He was rejected for the prom by the Conservatives. And now he is here with you guys as the
00:03:12.280
consolation prize. This inspiring speech just makes the whole thing sadder. Oh, goodness.
00:03:18.120
A challenging world. That's what you have here with Robert. Someone who's lived and worked and
00:03:25.600
served this rioting in this community for 20 years. Someone who knows what it is to walk these
00:03:31.380
streets, to engage here, to lead in communities. Guys, guys, Robert's a great liberal candidate.
00:03:36.740
He's walked these streets before. I don't know why. It was so weird when he put his hand on his
00:03:40.900
shoulder and like, you have a great candidate here in Robert. It's like he was like speaking way too
00:03:45.780
intensely. And then he had to say a name like Robert. And it just didn't connect at all.
00:03:50.540
Uh, yeah, this, this is, this is not an inspiring moment. He understands how important it is to get
00:03:57.240
out there and meet with as many people as possible, not just to introduce himself, to try and convince
00:04:03.960
them to support him as every candidate is doing. Yeah. He also did it when he was a Conservative
00:04:08.820
nomination candidate. He has a lot of experience trying to convince people to vote for him. He'll do
00:04:12.700
it in any party that will let him in. But to understand, to reflect, and to make sure people
00:04:20.080
know that he is there to be their voice in Ottawa, not Ottawa's voice here in Durham.
00:04:28.260
You're literally, you literally represent Ottawa, not in the sense that he's like an Ottawa MP,
00:04:33.720
but you are literally the government. And your government is a very big government style
00:04:38.720
government. So he is very much going to be, if he wins, if something crazy happens, and somehow
00:04:44.880
Robert Rock wins, he's not going to win. If he wins, he's obviously going to just be a stooge for
00:04:50.360
the government in Ottawa, because that's pretty much what your government's done this entire time,
00:04:55.200
Justin. It has been pushing policies that nobody really likes, but enough activists are able to sort
00:05:00.780
of turn out and vote for that you're able to stay in government, even when you pull people on the
00:05:05.180
carpet tax, when you pull people on all the different social issues the liberals have been
00:05:08.980
pushing, the tax system that they've been sort of like building up themselves, like raising taxes,
00:05:14.920
the different sort of nickel and diming of people on little tiny, small transactions. It's a very tax
00:05:20.640
heavy government. It's not a popular government in a place like Durham. So unless Robert Rock becomes a
00:05:26.120
liberal MP, and then immediately just resigns from the caucus and becomes an independent and truly
00:05:31.680
starts representing his riding, he doesn't represent them. But anyways, this is where I want to talk a
00:05:38.260
little bit about the issue of red Toryism inside the Conservative Party. This is why I maintain that
00:05:44.360
red Toryism is very dangerous to the health of the Conservatives. I think Pierre Polyev has put the
00:05:50.120
Conservatives on a much better path than we were with Erin O'Toole or Andrew Scheer. We're on a much more
00:05:54.600
conservative path, but there are a lot of people trying to win nominations for the Conservatives,
00:05:59.360
like Mr. Robert Rock, who are not conservative in any way. If the Liberals had a better chance of
00:06:04.480
winning in that riding, he would have jumped into their nomination first. And then if he lost that,
00:06:09.060
maybe he was going to go run for the Conservatives. Even in my riding, I'm running, again, my name is
00:06:13.960
Wyatt Claypool. Even in my riding of Calgary Signal Hill, there's like 14 candidates that are going to be
00:06:18.560
trying to go for the nomination. I'm running for it because I'm an actual conservative. I live here locally.
00:06:23.700
Tons of these other people do not live near the riding. They are very liberal in their views,
00:06:28.360
but they're saying, I'm with Polyev. No, you're not. You literally were with O'Toole very strongly
00:06:34.020
five minutes ago, and suddenly you're like, I'm an anti-woke politician. No, you're not. I know all
00:06:39.200
you people. You're actually all very woke. There's people who voted against conscience rights for
00:06:43.080
doctors running in this nomination, pretending that they're now against MAID procedures, when they
00:06:47.740
were totally fine with making doctors refer people to MAID. That's insane. These people are liars.
00:06:52.900
And that's the problem with red Tories. They are in the conservative party, but when the chips are
00:06:58.600
down, they are liberal first, they are liberals first, and conservatives second. If there's an
00:07:03.620
opportunity for them to be a liberal candidate, they will be. But if they're in an area where the
00:07:07.900
liberals cannot win, they will run for the conservatives first. This is the issue that we
00:07:11.960
have. Leela Ayer is in my riding, trying to run. She's a former MLA for Chestermere Strathmore,
00:07:17.060
a pretty awful former MLA for Chestermere Strathmore, completely out of sync with the actual views of
00:07:22.060
her own community. I'm happy Chantal de Jong is now the MLA for that area. She's trying to run here.
00:07:26.960
I've heard in the background that she was threatening to run in Calgary Centre as a liberal
00:07:30.320
if they didn't let her into this nomination. That's from someone pretty high up in the party.
00:07:34.660
These people are not conservatives. They're just running for whatever party is expedient for them.
00:07:39.680
Do not assume that because they have a blue banner behind them and they're running for their
00:07:43.880
nomination that they must be on Team Polyev. A lot of these people are willing to lie
00:07:48.220
because leftists, liberal people just want power so that they can later push their liberal views
00:07:54.260
onto the public through legislation. Even if they've got to pretend to be true blue for the
00:07:58.080
moment, they will do it for the moment and then flip on you later and you'll be caught out of sorts
00:08:03.220
like with O'Toole and think, why would he do this? He promised to be true blue because he was never.
00:08:07.500
Look at his voting record. I've been having people say, well, you're being rude, Wyatt,
00:08:13.000
in your mind because I'll bring up people's voting records. Well, don't bring up people's voting
00:08:16.300
records. That's not how we do politics. We do politics by just saying everyone's a good guy
00:08:21.280
and that whoever wins, that's the right candidate. No, they're not. They might not be the right
00:08:25.100
candidates. We actually need good people in our ridings. So this is why, regardless of what
00:08:31.080
riding you live in, if you live in my riding, buy a Conservative Party membership. If you don't buy
00:08:36.800
a Conservative Party membership, make sure that you get on your board if you already have an incumbent MP
00:08:41.640
and if there's a nomination race in your area, go and vote for the bluest person in that riding.
00:08:46.620
We actually want government to change, not government with slightly more Conservative
00:08:51.540
versions of Liberals who are not actually going to get anything done. I think Polly was a very
00:08:55.500
good Conservative. Jamil Giovanni is a fantastic Conservative. Aaron Gunn is a great Conservative.
00:09:00.320
But I want to make sure that we don't sort of get complacent and we get a bunch of people
00:09:04.420
sneaking in here or there who they would have run for the Liberals if it was a better option for them
00:09:09.080
at the time. Anyways, rant over. So again, if you live in my riding, Calgary, Signal Hill here,
00:09:15.860
this is what the boundaries look like. Buy a Conservative membership. Go check out my website
00:09:19.560
in the description below, wyattclaypool.com, or donate to my legal fund if you want. We have this
00:09:25.500
silly developer suing us, some billionaire, on a really dumb defamation case. He hasn't even submitted
00:09:31.300
any evidence to prove we defamed him. He's just doing this to try and bully us. The things that we've
00:09:35.800
said about him were already reported by much larger publications years before, but he thought that we
00:09:40.720
couldn't pay to defend ourselves. So he was trying to extract a fake apology out of us to pretend like
00:09:45.280
he's some big powerful guy and we're not going to bend to him. Or you can also donate to my campaign
00:09:50.060
directly if you live in Canada in the donation tab of my website. Basically, it's an e-transfer.
00:09:55.580
You got to give me more information though. You got like in the message, send your full name,
00:09:59.540
address, email, and phone number so that we can verify also postal code just so that Elections
00:10:04.460
Canada can actually verify donations to me. But anyways, that's it for me today. Been a lot of fun
00:10:11.180
watching Trudeau embarrass himself in Durham. I am looking forward to that March 4th election day for
00:10:17.460
Durham. I'm going to be watching it live because it's going to be hilarious to watch how badly the
00:10:22.280
liberals are going to do. If you live in Durham, make sure to come out and support Jamil. He's a great
00:10:27.280
fiscal and social conservative, someone who actually cares about making deep reforms to the government
00:10:32.520
once the conservatives win power. Anyways, that's it for me today and I hope everyone has a great afternoon.
