The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Justin Trudeau is shipwrecking his own party

00:00:00.000 I really love watching Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party's communications

00:00:05.080 team continue to grope around in the dark, trying to find an angle of attack on pure

00:00:10.440 Polyev and the Conservatives, and utterly failing.

00:00:13.400 There's a reason that you get a bit of an impression from many Liberal MPs that they're

00:00:17.880 just throwing spaghetti at the walls, hoping that something will eventually stick.

00:00:21.680 This is why it seems like every Liberal MP is taking a different angle of attack on the

00:00:25.880 Conservatives.

00:00:26.360 I bet the Liberals are just doing a big data collection sort of scheme right now, just

00:00:30.980 seeing what gets the best engagement.

00:00:32.960 But so far, they've found nothing that's particularly useful for them.

00:00:36.780 Calling the Conservatives far-right mega-extremists does not help you fight back in the polls when

00:00:42.760 everyone thinks that your policies suck and that you've been a very socially toxic government 0.94

00:00:47.700 for the country. 0.92

00:00:48.880 People are kind of tired of all the divisive rhetoric from the Liberals, and when the

00:00:53.180 divisive rhetoric isn't even coming with good economic outcomes, you're truly dead in

00:00:57.680 the water.

00:00:58.560 But here's something that the Liberal Party posted to its official ex-account the other

00:01:02.600 day.

00:01:03.140 It says,

00:01:03.960 Is using American far-right talking points that bully vulnerable kids really common sense

00:01:09.220 trying to go after pure Polyev for having some of the same stances on social issues that 0.96

00:01:13.960 Premier Daniel Smith has in Alberta?

00:01:16.160 Stances, by the way, that are about 80% popular with most Canadians.

00:01:20.680 This is not the angle of attack the Liberals want to be using.

00:01:24.520 Obviously, I am not a Liberal.

00:01:25.940 I do not like the Liberal Party.

00:01:27.900 But like I've said in so many other videos, it frustrates me to see communication teams 0.97

00:01:32.640 for these different parties being paid easily millions of dollars a year to just suck at 0.93

00:01:37.540 their jobs. 0.95

00:01:38.460 This is such a horrible way of trying to do politics, is these just baseless attacks that

00:01:43.680 if people think about it for a few seconds, really doesn't hold up to scrutiny and just

00:01:47.500 makes you seem flailing and desperate.

00:01:49.220 Anyways, here is the 20-second video that came along with that tweet.

00:01:53.180 Where does the Conservatives stand on these issues that she talked about in the video?

00:01:58.500 Oh, we stand for common sense, like on everything else.

00:02:03.560 The Liberal does not have a right to impose his radical gender ideology on our kids and

00:02:09.540 who is going to vote Liberal based on that clip.

00:02:17.960 Who was on the fence or they were going to vote Conservative, watch that video and is now

00:02:23.900 thinking, pure Polly of opposes gender theory? 1.00

00:02:26.880 Well, I guess I can't vote for him.

00:02:28.300 There is nobody even in the Liberal base that is going to vote Liberal harder based on these

00:02:33.580 talking points about parental rights that the Liberals have, that somehow parental rights

00:02:37.960 are secretly an attack on vulnerable children or it's secretly some sort of authoritarian

00:02:43.200 play to try and cram down on the trans community. 0.57

00:02:46.500 Nobody believes this, which is why the polling reflects that people are voting in favor of

00:02:52.460 parental rights, that people like parental rights issues.

00:02:54.740 This is why Premier Blaine Higgs in New Brunswick is actually having a fighting chance to win

00:03:00.020 re-election in a province where people haven't liked his government because they've been having

00:03:04.080 to do deep economic and public finance reforms to get the, you know, frankly, get the province

00:03:09.320 functioning again.

00:03:10.560 And a lot of those have been rubbing people the wrong way, but he's been buying people

00:03:13.860 back with his stance on parental rights.

00:03:16.400 This is not a great play for the Liberals to try and oppose this.

00:03:19.800 If anything, they should just go silent on the issue.

00:03:22.160 And maybe people think that they're on side on parental rights.

00:03:25.720 They're fighting with the NDP and the Greens and sort of the bloc for about 20% of the

00:03:31.680 electorate.

00:03:32.520 20% of the electorate is explicitly anti-parental rights.

00:03:36.560 So like, do you think that you're going to be able to get that 20% to only vote for

00:03:41.040 you?

00:03:41.640 Even if the Liberals got that 20% to only vote for them, maybe they'd increase their numbers

00:03:46.240 by three or 4%.

00:03:47.660 And it's pretty unrealistic that they're going to capture all those people because the NDP

00:03:51.220 he's always going to outflank them on their left and promise even more progressive social

00:03:55.960 policy than Trudeau is willing to do because his base of voters has always been mostly women

00:04:00.980 and people who are on pensions, like people who are pensioners.

00:04:04.360 They don't like a radical social policy.

00:04:06.600 They mostly like security and stability.

00:04:09.080 They like having their benefits maintained, maybe grown over time, nothing too crazy.

00:04:13.700 But the Liberals constantly under Trudeau have been pushing more and more to the left to

00:04:18.860 try and keep up with the NDP in such a way that they are hemorrhaging their older voters

00:04:23.260 and women in favor of college age progressives who the NDP are always going to be able to 1.00

00:04:28.720 promise more to.

00:04:30.040 And these voters are not the sorts of people who are, you know, like just like a lot of

00:04:34.100 people in their 20s, are not sober minded voters who are going to vote for those who

00:04:38.500 can put together a competent policy playbook that's realistic.

00:04:41.980 They're voting in favor of idealism.

00:04:43.560 And so the Liberals running down this idealism rabbit hole are leaving behind all the people

00:04:48.920 who just wanted, you know, a Cretchen era type stable liberal policy.

00:04:53.380 And now the Conservatives are cleaning up with these voters because they're promoting

00:04:56.700 stability.

00:04:57.780 And as much as the Liberals are trying to freak people up by saying, oh, the Conservatives

00:05:01.260 are going to cut spending, the Conservatives are going to cut your pension.

00:05:04.440 That's obviously not going to happen.

00:05:05.820 The Conservatives are going to cut things, but cut things that no Canadian has a problem with

00:05:10.060 cutting other than the bureaucrats who work in the departments who are going to experience

00:05:13.380 the cuts.

00:05:14.100 Nobody believes that we need the level of HR that we have.

00:05:17.080 Nobody believes we need to be funding anti-racism programs.

00:05:20.520 Nobody believes that we need to be sending $30 million to foreign countries to promote feminism. 1.00

00:05:25.900 This is all stuff that people know we can cut.

00:05:27.940 The federal budget right now is like $449 billion.

00:05:31.360 In the last year of Harper's government, it's only about $269 billion.

00:05:35.840 Nobody believes that the budget needs to be two thirds higher than it was nine years ago.

00:05:41.880 Nobody's experienced an increase anywhere in the ballpark of two thirds in terms of extra

00:05:47.940 benefits, in terms of a higher standard of living.

00:05:50.540 They've only seen actually living standards fall at least over the past three years.

00:05:55.400 So all this money, people realize, has become a poison pill.

00:05:59.500 But here's another Liberal advertisement, not going after the Conservatives, but pitching

00:06:03.440 themselves.

00:06:04.020 And watch this and see if it feels like there's even any meat on the bones here.

00:06:08.480 In my sense, not to poison the well preemptively, the Liberal messaging and trying to push themselves

00:06:14.460 has become so empty and sloganeering that I don't think it appeals to pretty much anybody

00:06:19.480 anymore.

00:06:19.960 Everyone knows that when they've been in government eight years, you don't get to run these

00:06:23.840 sorts of ads.

00:06:25.500 We have in this country a richness and a depth that the world is envious of.

00:06:33.400 And it doesn't mean everything's great.

00:06:35.180 We know things are challenging for Canadians right now, which is why we continue to step

00:06:41.180 up with investments to support Canadians and push back against Polyev's clamoring for cuts

00:06:47.740 to programs that Canadians rely on.

00:06:49.740 We will be there for people as we've always been in these difficult times, as we build

00:06:55.980 that prosperous future that everyone is looking for in this country.

00:07:01.500 We have remembered that the economy is not numbers.

00:07:08.500 The economy is people.

00:07:10.640 Dude, that is such a last shriek on the retreat kind of an advertisement.

00:07:20.480 Imagine that you've been in government for nine years almost and that you're going to

00:07:25.060 tell people, you know, the economy isn't about numbers.

00:07:28.220 It's about people.

00:07:29.560 Well, why don't you want to talk about the numbers, Justin? 0.99

00:07:32.180 It's because the numbers suck. 0.94

00:07:33.920 When you actually look and even when you talk about people, per capita numbers are horrible. 0.95

00:07:38.460 That's been the worst performance for the Canadian government is in the per capita category.

00:07:43.320 Yes, the GDP has gone up.

00:07:45.100 It's naturally going to go up whenever you add people into the country because they're 1.00

00:07:48.800 going to at least generate some productivity.

00:07:50.860 It's really hard to add people to the country and lose productivity.

00:07:54.640 But we've been adding people.

00:07:57.200 But the amount of productivity is not keeping up in the per capita sort of area.

00:08:02.000 So the actual standard of living of people has been falling.

00:08:04.840 That entire advertisement, just the idea that, well, we're actually envied around the world.

00:08:10.380 It's this left-wing nationalism we have in Canada that everyone's secretly jealous of

00:08:14.800 us and our social programs and how progressive and inclusive we are.

00:08:18.640 Okay, this is a great ad to run if you're running in 2015 as Justin Trudeau.

00:08:23.680 You're not in government.

00:08:24.660 You're pushing back against the Harper government.

00:08:27.520 The Harper government has lost focus on people.

00:08:29.620 They're only focused on numbers.

00:08:30.840 But when people actually experience what your government is like for nine years, it's really

00:08:35.500 hard for them to just hear that, you know, we're envied and that the economy is, you know,

00:08:39.920 more about than just the numbers.

00:08:41.980 It's about the people.

00:08:43.440 Well, we all feel pretty crappy.

00:08:45.380 So I don't feel like this government really values people that much.

00:08:48.680 I'd rather get back to a Harper government that maybe cared more about the numbers.

00:08:52.220 I don't actually believe that Harper just cared about the numbers.

00:08:54.860 But maybe that was a more expedient, more productive way of doing government was focusing

00:09:00.760 on metrics we can actually measure rather than the people.

00:09:04.320 The people don't like Justin Trudeau.

00:09:06.960 And so actually reminding people that he's thinking about you is not a great way of doing

00:09:11.400 things.

00:09:11.960 And you can tell that the liberals are kind of realizing that they have to do some policy

00:09:15.260 pivots here because this was just announced today.

00:09:17.740 It says we're taking strong action to build more homes faster and to make sure Canadians have

00:09:23.180 more access to purchasing homes.

00:09:24.900 We're extending the ban on new foreign ownership in Canadian housing.

00:09:29.200 Imagine the fact that now the liberals are actually having to push more restrictive immigration

00:09:34.160 policies now in order to make up for the hundreds of thousands of people that we could not house

00:09:39.840 over the past few years.

00:09:41.080 And this foreign housing ban really isn't going to do too much.

00:09:44.240 If anything, I think that they're only putting this ban into place because most foreign housing 1.00

00:09:48.340 buyers are fleeing the country because I'd rather buy a house in Texas or Florida.

00:09:53.180 Where it's cheaper rather than stick around Canada or I'm having to pay $2 million for

00:09:58.760 a tiny house in Vancouver just to get some money over like offshore if you're like a Hong 1.00

00:10:04.660 Kong or Chinese buyer. 0.67

00:10:06.780 Anyways, just just absolute like a horrible downfall for the liberal party.

00:10:11.940 One that they 100% deserved.

00:10:15.040 But I don't think that Justin Trudeau is going to be able to pull out of this tailspin.

00:10:18.380 He is fully trying to shipwreck his own party at this point.

00:10:20.920 He doesn't have the humility to admit that a lot of his policies it's failed, that his

00:10:25.300 leadership style is unappealing to people.

00:10:27.580 So I think he's just going to double down until he's out of office in order to feel like

00:10:31.900 he's going to come back in 10 years and talk about how, well, if the conservatives do a

00:10:37.200 single thing wrong, he'll come back and say, well, I think people now recognize the more

00:10:41.480 compassionate, tolerant, equitable way I did government and why the conservatives are just

00:10:46.540 failing Canadians.

00:10:47.960 He's just trying to shore up his legacy right now, not actually win the next election.

00:10:52.980 Anyways, that should be it for me today.

00:10:55.360 I just want to remind everyone, I, Wyatt Claypool, I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill

00:10:59.540 Conservative Party nomination.

00:11:01.140 If you live in Calgary Signal Hill, buy a Conservative Party membership and check out my

00:11:04.620 website, wyattclaypool.com.

00:11:06.680 And then I also have the Give, Send, Go link I usually put in the description. 0.97

00:11:10.000 In the description, we're being sued by a billionaire over something extremely stupid.

00:11:14.600 It's a defamation case where he's suing us over things that we didn't even say about him 0.95

00:11:18.020 and which are all also factually true, but he thinks he has enough money to overwhelm us

00:11:22.220 and force us to give him a fake apology in order to basically bolster his perceived power

00:11:27.980 in Canada.

00:11:29.160 Anyways, that's it for me today.

00:11:31.060 I'll see you guys in another video or live stream I might do.

00:11:33.800 And other than that, I hope everyone has a fantastic day and that we get through this

00:11:39.360 liberal government as fast as humanly possible.
