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.
00:00:00.000One 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.
00:00:30.020It's one of those things where I don't think a lot of Canadians think about ESG on a daily basis.
00:00:34.720Many of them don't even know what ESG is.
00:00:37.140But 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.
00:00:46.900I 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.
00:00:59.120But 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.
00:01:07.200If you live in this riding, buy a membership, look at my website in the description, wyattclaypool.com.
00:01:12.000If you want a candidate who, as a representative, will push back on environmental craziness, ESG, DEI, and all this garbage.
00:01:19.620Anyways, here is the Liberals' 2021 platform.
00:01:23.720You can tell it is because Justin Trudeau and Freeland are wearing masks, staring lovingly into each other's eyes.
00:01:28.900And it says, achieving results for Canadians.
00:01:31.680And so we have an aggressive and ambitious plan to ensure that Canada comes back from COVID-19 stronger, fairer, healthier, and more prosperous.
00:02:18.600And 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.
00:02:30.100Well, that's not going to make people more prosperous, Justin.
00:02:34.020If 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.
00:02:44.700But it doesn't matter because that would, you know, getting rid of all these regulations would go against the ESG agenda.
00:02:50.820So, 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.
00:03:08.440Putting 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.
00:03:17.240Well, 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.
00:03:28.640So, they don't really care about human records.
00:03:31.380Justin 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.
00:03:47.140He 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,
00:03:56.160to 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,
00:04:07.340because Iran was actually scared of the United States under Donald Trump, so they didn't want to fire on American troops or citizens,
00:04:13.480so they killed Canadians instead, and Justin Trudeau is absolutely fine with that.
00:04:17.460But Polyev and the conservatives need to highlight the fact that every time Justin Trudeau and the liberals say,
00:04:24.500we stand for X, we stand for Y, we stand for Z, they don't actually.
00:04:31.720They stand for environmental and social governance-type standards ruling how the economy is done.
00:04:37.940They are telling you that they want the government more heavily involved in the economy and in a very socialistic manner
00:04:44.180in order to dictate where you get your supplies from, what your prices are, the gender equality or equity inside your company, all this nonsense.
00:04:53.780If the conservatives run against this very strange left-wing utopianism, they will do even better than they currently are,
00:05:01.500or they'll at least be able to maintain their very high numbers.
00:05:04.120Mark my words, the polls, like they always do, will tighten for the next election.
00:05:08.560I 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,
00:05:17.380you'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.
00:05:25.720What's so sad, too, is that there's literally people inside the Conservative Party, when I say inside, I mean running for nominations,
00:05:31.160who believe in ESG, and they need to also maybe, you know, figure out if they should be actually running for the Conservative Party.
00:05:38.240I have two opponents in my riding of Signal Hill, this one again, two candidates, both former MLAs from Kenny's government,
00:05:46.060who both push the concept of equity, not equality, not quality of opportunity.
00:05:50.800We 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.
00:05:57.860There's no barriers from government or society in our way.
00:06:01.320These people believe in equity, not equality.
00:06:03.880One of them cut a weird video about gender equity and how we need to fight around the world for gender equity, you know,
