Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada are desperate to claw back some support in the polls. They ve been stuck in such an elitist media bubble for so long that not only do they not know how to communicate with Canadians, they don t even know what Canadians want. And so all of their new communication strategies just looks like flailing around, throwing spaghetti at the wall and just trying to see if something sticks.

00:00:00.000 If you said that the Liberal Party of Canada was run by some of the dumbest people on the planet, that would be you being charitable. 0.99
00:00:08.240 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party these days is desperate to claw back some support in the polls. 1.00
00:00:13.780 The problem is they suck at communications.
00:00:17.120 They've been stuck in such an elitist media bubble for so long that not only do they not know how to communicate with Canadians, they don't even know what Canadians want.
00:00:26.540 And so all of their new communication strategies just looks like flailing around.
00:00:31.620 They're throwing spaghetti at the wall and just trying to see if something sticks.
00:00:35.280 They're just throwing haymakers at Pyropolyev and not even hitting them at all. 0.55
00:00:39.480 They don't know what they're doing, and it's hilarious.
00:00:43.360 Their latest strategy to try and undermine the support of the Conservatives and bring back some support towards the Liberals is declaring war on the concept of common sense.
00:00:52.780 As you all know, if you follow the activities of Federal Conservative Party leader Pyropolyev, he very much has made common sense the tagline of the CBC.
00:01:03.060 It's very effective.
00:01:04.220 Who couldn't agree with common sense?
00:01:06.400 Well, apparently the Liberals don't agree with common sense.
00:01:09.520 And why should you hate common sense?
00:01:11.780 Well, because Donald Trump also believes in common sense.
00:01:14.520 So I'm just showing this here so that you know that the Liberals did indeed post this to their own X account.
00:01:21.660 And, of course, they still have the Pride progress coloring to the Liberal Party logo because they wouldn't be proper believers in pride if they were to take down the Pride colors from their account right away.
00:01:33.120 But this is an actual ad that they are running on X.
00:01:37.140 Did you know that Pyropolyev and Donald Trump both support common sense?
00:01:41.800 Don't you hate supporting common sense now?
00:01:44.320 This is the level that the Liberals are at right now.
00:01:47.440 The thing called common sense
00:01:50.020 Common sense
00:01:50.840 Common sense
00:01:51.600 Common sense
00:01:52.300 With a party of common sense
00:01:53.620 Common sense of the common people
00:01:55.240 Common sense
00:01:56.480 Common sense plan
00:01:57.540 Old-fashioned American common sense
00:01:59.620 Common sense conservative prime minister
00:02:01.840 Conservative person with common sense
00:02:04.020 Common sense
00:02:04.780 You know, we're really the party of common sense
00:02:06.720 Using a common sense law
00:02:08.480 Common sense, right?
00:02:09.700 Common sense
00:02:10.260 The Republican Party really is the party of common sense
00:02:13.980 Common sense
00:02:14.880 It's the party of common sense
00:02:16.480 It's a common sense step.
00:02:18.000 Common sense is common sense, and that's what we need.
00:02:20.940 It's common sense.
00:02:21.840 So that's supposed to make you dislike pure poly of because Justin Trudeau is playing on the idea that most Canadians don't like Donald Trump.
00:02:30.240 In fact, most Canadians just don't really know anything about Donald Trump.
00:02:33.420 So a lot of Canadians default to whatever they see in the liberal media.
00:02:37.800 So if the liberal media doesn't like Donald Trump, they sort of align with saying, I guess I also dislike Donald Trump.
00:02:43.220 The hilarious thing about the liberals constantly trying to tie pure poly of someone that Canadians actually like to Donald Trump, somebody that Canadians kind of default don't like, is that more and more Canadians are just liking Donald Trump now.
00:02:56.720 When you keep invoking Donald Trump's name and you are the least popular man in Canada, that being Justin Trudeau, you're just making people reevaluate their default opinions of Donald Trump.
00:03:07.580 Donald Trump's approval rating has actually been going up in Canada as Justin Trudeau attacks him and pure poly of together. 0.94
00:03:16.100 Also, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life because Donald Trump is very likely to be the next president of the United States. 0.97
00:03:25.560 And Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is going to be Prime Minister while Donald Trump is president. 0.99
00:03:30.380 So does he think this is going to help us in trade deals?
00:03:33.680 Because I guarantee a big election issue in 2025 is which man do you want dealing with the United States government?
00:03:41.480 And if Justin Trudeau has been frankly just crapping on them for two years straight, I think even more liberal Canadians who don't like Trump will say, like, Justin, you are screwing us over in like tariff negotiations and trade deal negotiations.
00:03:57.020 Please leave because in Toronto St. Paul, the Liberals just lost an embarrassing defeat in a downtown Toronto riding.
00:04:04.980 That is an easy win for the Liberals.
00:04:07.220 They've held that riding since 1988 and they still somehow lost it.
00:04:10.660 And they've been running a lot of these pure poly of his Donald Trump ads for several months up to that point.
00:04:16.460 They kind of eased off it because I think even the Liberals realized maybe we shouldn't be slamming the guy who's likely to become the president.
00:04:22.960 But it seems like now the Liberals are so desperate, they're reaching for that fire alarm again and pulling it.
00:04:29.080 And, you know, Justin Trudeau, I think, kind of knows he's going to lose the next election.
00:04:33.520 And I think he wants to go out in a blaze of progressive glory so that if pure poly of wins, he can say Trumpism won.
00:04:40.360 And it's because of scary Trumpism.
00:04:42.460 That's why I wasn't able to stay on as the prime minister. 0.95
00:04:45.840 Not that I suck at my job and made life unaffordable, hate freedom, and all this other stuff. 0.99
00:04:51.000 It's because too many people were disgusting racist bigots who didn't put pride colors on their party logos like the conservatives didn't. 0.99
00:05:00.340 I don't get these people. 0.98
00:05:01.760 Like, in a certain sense, I feel bad for Justin Trudeau.
00:05:05.480 Because obviously his comms team is just stealing his money at this point.
00:05:09.480 Because unless Justin Trudeau came up with this ad himself, man, these people are screwing him over.
00:05:14.880 This is such a bad communication strategy.
00:05:20.080 Justin, again, the concept that you're going to attack poly for saying common sense, for the word common sense, you're never going to be able to get people to hate common sense.
00:05:28.360 What, are they going to attack poly for using the term fun now or happiness or, I don't know, like double bacon cheeseburger?
00:05:35.660 You can't use terms that make people smile and then suddenly think that, but now that the man in the red hat said it, you also have to hate him.
00:05:43.740 Also, people can see how bad of a president Joe Biden is in the U.S. right now.
00:05:49.500 Even, again, liberal stalwarts in Canada, it's hard to be mad at Trump when you kind of knew the economy was better under him.
00:05:57.060 So, yeah, you can say, well, yeah, it might be a bore, it might be, you know, braggadocious and whatnot.
00:06:01.580 But at least people could eat, at least people could afford houses.
00:06:05.760 That's the same thing with Justin Trudeau.
00:06:07.340 Every time they invoke the name of Stephen Harper and they try and blame him for it, as if Stephen Harper is seen as this shadowy phantom in Canadian politics.
00:06:16.420 And by bringing up his name, you're going to get a lot of Canadians clutching their pearls and like, not Stephen Harper, especially since it's been nine years of Justin Trudeau being prime minister.
00:06:25.280 I think I actually heard them blame Harper for something recently.
00:06:27.940 It was like within the last two months and it's comic that they're even mentioning Stephen Harper this late in the game.
00:06:35.020 But this is what the liberals' entire marketing strategy has been now for the past while.
00:06:41.140 I actually just quickly want to pull up another ad they put out a bit ago where they were attacking pure poly of his far right.
00:06:48.000 Far right being a word that is purely meaningless these days because of parties like the liberals, because of politicians like Justin Trudeau.
00:06:55.720 It doesn't mean anything to be far right.
00:06:58.400 And many of the times they can't even describe what being far right is because it would turn into a bunch of, you'd end up describing the left.
00:07:05.500 It's like whenever people describe somebody as like far right and then it turns out they actually mostly just agree with the left on a lot of stuff.
00:07:12.600 I always find all the far right people tend to actually just be secretly socialists.
00:07:17.100 The Nazis were in fact a socialist party, same with the Italian fascists.
00:07:21.500 But now they're putting out graphics like this on their X account.
00:07:25.720 Poly of embraces far right extremism, maintaining a disturbing pattern.
00:07:30.280 And this is taken from some failing blog called rabble.ca.
00:07:36.900 They have to give an example.
00:07:38.360 You can't just say he's far right.
00:07:39.660 This is the most empty marketing I've ever seen.
00:07:42.080 That's like if I was just to always say Justin Trudeau is a communist.
00:07:45.040 Justin Trudeau is a communist.
00:07:46.400 And there's far more evidence that Justin Trudeau is a communist than pure Poly of his far right. 1.00
00:07:51.600 But if I was just saying that and not giving you examples, you would say you're full of crap. 1.00
00:07:57.620 And that would be full of crap. 0.99
00:07:59.400 But the thing is the liberals are equally full of it here when they can't actually say, oh, pure Poly of his far right or he's embracing the far right with this, that and the other thing. 0.96
00:08:08.160 This is why that Apple video of pure Poly of exists.
00:08:12.440 This exists.
00:08:14.100 On the on the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy, currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway.
00:08:21.960 What does that mean?
00:08:24.420 Well, appealing.
00:08:25.960 I'm not going to play a lot of that, but you get that whenever somebody goes down this rabbit hole saying Poly of's playing to the populist right or the far right or he's taking a page of Donald Trump's playbook.
00:08:37.000 They have nothing.
00:08:37.720 If anything, they're setting up pure Poly of for an amazing counterpunch if he ever sees Justin Trudeau on a debate stage.
00:08:44.720 Hey, you've said I'm far right, Justin.
00:08:46.960 Name anything I've done that you could describe as far.
00:08:49.220 I just please name something.
00:08:50.640 He would destroy Justin Trudeau in an instant because Justin Trudeau doesn't know anything bad that pure Poly of has done.
00:08:56.840 He just has vague accusations because that's all Justin Trudeau is.
00:09:01.420 He is purely a rhetoric based politician and he has no substance.
00:09:08.040 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:09:10.420 If you want to sign up for my organizing list for local news on politics, no matter where you are in Canada, sign up at my website in the description below, WyattClaypool.com.
00:09:18.640 If I know an interesting race in your area, I can send you specific emails about candidates for nominations, provincial elections, federal elections, municipal elections, all that stuff.
00:09:29.380 Maybe I don't send you very many emails because you live up in Nunavut and I don't know many Nunavut politicians and whatnot.
00:09:35.760 But that's something if you want to get involved, sign up on that and I can kind of push you to areas where you can be effective in your local community.
00:09:41.940 And if you want to donate to my legal fund, that link is also in the description below.
00:09:46.900 It's a Give, Send, Go link.
00:09:48.320 We have this Chinese billionaire developer suing us for defamation.
00:09:52.460 And in over two and a half years of this case going on, he still hasn't even been able to bring out a shred of evidence that we defamed him.
00:10:00.140 He is merely throwing paperwork at us because he sued me in Alberta.
00:10:03.980 And Alberta does not have anti-slap legislation that would allow me to end the case early because it is demonstrably, demonstrably, I'm being all tongue-tied now, demonstrably.
00:10:15.800 Yes, whatever.
00:10:16.500 It's very frivolous.
00:10:17.620 So it's super frivolous, but it's cost us around $30,000 now fighting.
00:10:23.060 So if you guys can contribute anything to that, it really takes the burden of cost off us and allows us to reinvest more in the National Telegraph, grow our social media platforms, upgrade our software, upgrade our lighting, upgrade our camera.
00:10:36.280 I'm literally just using a laptop camera now and I have to have near-perfect lighting or the camera footage looks really, really fuzzy.
00:10:44.700 But anyways, that's it for me today, guys.
00:10:47.140 Have a good one.
