Justin Trudeau's obsession with environmental and social governance (ESG) is an Achilles heel of the Liberal Party of Canada, and it needs to be addressed in the upcoming election. In this episode, I talk about why the Liberals don't actually care about the prosperity of Canadians before they care about their environmental agenda goals, and why the Conservatives need to focus on it.

00:00:00.000 One thing that Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party really need to focus in on during the next federal election, because I think it is an Achilles heel of the Liberal parties, is Justin Trudeau and the Liberals' obsession with ESG, that being environmental and social governance scores, the thing that many sort of elitists tend to use to determine how they're going to invest or which projects government endorse based on how environmental, you know, socially conscious and friendly to liberal governments that they happen to be.
00:00:30.020 It's one of those things where I don't think a lot of Canadians think about ESG on a daily basis.
00:00:34.720 Many of them don't even know what ESG is.
00:00:37.140 But if enough focus is put on it, I think a lot of Canadians are going to be very grossed out by the way that this sort of demonstrates the warped view of the Liberal government.
00:00:46.900 I want to read what the Liberals' 2021 platform even said about this, because it really demonstrates that they don't actually care about the prosperity of Canadians before these random sort of agenda goals that they have on the side.
00:00:59.120 But before I get to that, I just quickly want to plug the fact that I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:01:07.200 If you live in this riding, buy a membership, look at my website in the description, wyattclaypool.com.
00:01:12.000 If you want a candidate who, as a representative, will push back on environmental craziness, ESG, DEI, and all this garbage.
00:01:19.620 Anyways, here is the Liberals' 2021 platform.
00:01:23.720 You can tell it is because Justin Trudeau and Freeland are wearing masks, staring lovingly into each other's eyes.
00:01:28.900 And it says, achieving results for Canadians.
00:01:31.680 And so we have an aggressive and ambitious plan to ensure that Canada comes back from COVID-19 stronger, fairer, healthier, and more prosperous.
00:01:39.220 Notice he said fairer.
00:01:40.540 So not prosperous is like one of those side things that he mentions at the end.
00:01:45.700 Fairer and healthier are the things that he wants us to be first.
00:01:48.600 And he says, as with any plan, it comes down to implementation.
00:01:53.060 Canadians need their federal government to make decisions based on high-quality data and based on the best interests of Canadians.
00:01:59.020 This requires a strong public service that has the tools to meet the challenges of Canada in 2021 and onward.
00:02:04.900 And I want to skip down to this part because this is what's concerning.
00:02:07.940 Because, you know, they talk about some of their strategic plans for the economy.
00:02:11.120 It's very platitudinous.
00:02:12.400 You know, we want more gender diversity and whatnot in the economy. 1.00
00:02:16.040 And then it comes down to this point.
00:02:18.600 And it says, use the government's buying power to set standards and norms requiring suppliers of goods and services to apply the highest ethical and sustainability standards across their supply chain.
00:02:30.100 Well, that's not going to make people more prosperous, Justin.
00:02:32.860 Just letting you know.
00:02:34.020 If you're putting more restrictions on how people deliver goods and services to individuals, they're going to cost more, there's going to be fewer of them, and people will be getting them slower.
00:02:44.700 But it doesn't matter because that would, you know, getting rid of all these regulations would go against the ESG agenda.
00:02:50.820 So, and it goes on, it says, and we will further strengthen federal procurement policies to integrate human rights, environmental and social corporate governance, ESG principles, and supply chain transparency principles that ensure they apply to both core government agencies and crown corporations.
00:03:08.440 Putting human rights and ESG principles at the heart of our procurement processes aligns not only with our values, but also aligns with Canada's national interest.
00:03:17.240 Well, that doesn't make sense because Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are still trying to crush Alberta and Newfoundland's oil and gas industries and continuing to import oil and gas from dictatorships.
00:03:28.640 So, they don't really care about human records.
00:03:31.380 Justin Trudeau is the man who bowed to a former Iranian regime official after the Iranian government just murdered a bunch of Canadians on flight PS-175 or 752.
00:03:41.860 I always forget, I'm sorry.
00:03:43.400 But, like, they killed hundreds of Canadians.
00:03:45.540 Justin Trudeau didn't care.
00:03:47.140 He was fine palling around with them, and he even had the government sue or fight the families of the victims in Cork to defend the Iranian regime, 0.58
00:03:56.160 to pretend it wasn't a terrorist attack, even though it was obviously intentional and meant to try and get at a bunch of Iranian-Canadian citizens in order to get back at the United States,
00:04:07.340 because Iran was actually scared of the United States under Donald Trump, so they didn't want to fire on American troops or citizens,
00:04:13.480 so they killed Canadians instead, and Justin Trudeau is absolutely fine with that.
00:04:17.460 But Polyev and the conservatives need to highlight the fact that every time Justin Trudeau and the liberals say,
00:04:24.500 we stand for X, we stand for Y, we stand for Z, they don't actually.
00:04:29.380 They stand for ESG.
00:04:31.720 They stand for environmental and social governance-type standards ruling how the economy is done.
00:04:37.940 They are telling you that they want the government more heavily involved in the economy and in a very socialistic manner
00:04:44.180 in order to dictate where you get your supplies from, what your prices are, the gender equality or equity inside your company, all this nonsense.
00:04:53.780 If the conservatives run against this very strange left-wing utopianism, they will do even better than they currently are,
00:05:01.500 or they'll at least be able to maintain their very high numbers.
00:05:04.120 Mark my words, the polls, like they always do, will tighten for the next election.
00:05:08.560 I think it's still going to be a conservative blowout, but if we want it to be a conservative victory above 200 seats rather than below 200 seats,
00:05:17.380 you've got to go and sort of take an axe to the ESG pillars that basically girds up the entire ideology of the Liberal Party.
00:05:25.720 What's so sad, too, is that there's literally people inside the Conservative Party, when I say inside, I mean running for nominations,
00:05:31.160 who believe in ESG, and they need to also maybe, you know, figure out if they should be actually running for the Conservative Party.
00:05:38.240 I have two opponents in my riding of Signal Hill, this one again, two candidates, both former MLAs from Kenny's government,
00:05:46.060 who both push the concept of equity, not equality, not quality of opportunity.
00:05:50.800 We all are equal under the law, and we all have the same ability to achieve in terms of our, you know, legal ability to achieve.
00:05:57.860 There's no barriers from government or society in our way.
00:06:01.320 These people believe in equity, not equality.
00:06:03.880 One of them cut a weird video about gender equity and how we need to fight around the world for gender equity, you know,
00:06:09.600 like equal outcomes based on gender. 0.91
00:06:12.400 It's absolutely silly.
00:06:14.120 And another one, when her, like, article that she had written about her, basically hinting that she's going to run here,
00:06:19.100 I think the word equity was used, like, 10 times.
00:06:21.940 If you're using the word equity, you're not a Conservative. 1.00
00:06:24.680 Like, pure poly doesn't consider you a Conservative because he's said it before that we need to do away with this stupid garbage. 0.99
00:06:31.640 I think literally the quote he had was, it's stupid garbage referring to DEI and ESG. 1.00
00:06:37.100 And the funny thing, even the ESG crowd knows that this stuff is insane and it's unappealing. 0.99
00:06:42.400 Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, is getting basically cited by his own company,
00:06:47.000 saying that his obsession with DEI and ESG is actually going to ruin them financially
00:06:52.320 because he's actively picking underperforming companies, underperforming initiatives.
00:06:57.980 He's obsessed with the green economy.
00:06:59.860 He wants to throw money into those things because they have high ESG scores
00:07:03.500 because it's an arbitrary system meant to boost up companies that otherwise do not deserve to be
00:07:09.000 because they hit the right arbitrary sort of ESG, environmental social governance boxes.
00:07:15.140 It's not actually about being a good ethical company.
00:07:18.040 That's why so many of the pro-ESG companies are in China that are supported by the Communist Party of China.
00:07:24.400 There's so many people who ends up thinking that they're being great people by supporting ESG causes,
00:07:30.000 but oftentimes it's like the most corrupt companies you could find
00:07:33.120 who slathered a new paint job over themselves with the words ESG.
00:07:37.760 Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:07:39.700 I just want to make this as an encouragement for conservatives to take a swing at the ESG agenda.
00:07:45.400 Other than that, again, if you live in Signal Hill, check out my website, whyclaypool.com.
00:07:49.960 And if you want to support myself and the National Telegraph, you don't want to support the campaign,
00:07:54.040 you can donate to our Give, Send, Go link in the description below.
00:07:57.360 We are being sued by a developer, whatever, billionaire, whatever. 0.97
00:08:01.080 It's a stupid defamation case, claiming that we defamed him despite the fact that he can't produce any evidence. 0.97
00:08:06.240 The guest writer we had who mentioned him in an article about Aaron O'Toole got all of the information about him 0.99
00:08:12.220 from a Globe and Mail article that was linked.
00:08:15.000 We barely said anything about him, but he's mad about it because, you know, we have defamed him.
00:08:19.340 We have ruined his honor.
00:08:21.120 We didn't actually.
00:08:21.960 He's just trying to bully us.
00:08:23.320 And if you want to contribute to our legal fund, it really helps us out.
00:08:26.720 We've had to pay over $25,000 in legal bills, so any dollar helps take the burden off of us.
00:08:32.920 Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:08:34.840 I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your evening.
