Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada are in serious trouble, and it's all because of a lack of money. The Tories are crushing the Liberals in fundraising, and are on track to defeat them in the next federal election.
00:00:00.000Now, I'm not much of a Halloween guy. I just don't really care much about the season. I obviously don't put up orange on this set or have any Halloween decorations. It's just not something I've really ever cared about, not for any philosophical reasons. I just don't care about the holiday much.
00:00:14.740But if there's one spooky thing I can get behind this Halloween, it is the absolutely scary fundraising numbers for the Liberal Party of Canada. I have no doubt that Justin Trudeau is currently sitting at home today, terrified about the abysmal fundraising numbers for them.
00:00:31.620The polling numbers were already bad for the Liberals. They're anywhere from 8 to 14 points behind the Conservative Party of Canada. That's an amazingly big margin for the Conservatives to be leading, considering that the Liberals are supposedly the natural governing party of Canada.
00:00:45.700Right now, and it's been about four, I think it's actually almost like two and a half years of this, four, not two and a half years, sorry, about like a year and a half to two years for the Conservatives, where they're out fundraising the Liberals by more than double every single quarter.
00:01:01.020The third quarter results just came in, and the Conservatives raised $7 million, and the Liberals only raised $3 million. And what's really scary, and I just want to use the term spooky because I think it's funny, what's very spooky for the Liberals,
00:01:15.300is that they're closer to the NDP's fundraising than they are to the Conservative Party's fundraising. The NDP has more than half of what the Liberals fundraised, but the Liberals don't even have, aren't even close to having half of what the Conservatives have.
00:01:30.780That is insane, considering nobody believes Jagmeet Singh and the NDP are going to govern Canada anytime soon. The best they can hope for is a minority role within the Liberal government, in which they basically just rubber stamp everything for Justin Trudeau and promise to never ask for anything from them either.
00:01:48.680It's a very pathetic party under Jagmeet Singh these days. But what's more pathetic? Jagmeet Singh never really having a chance of becoming Prime Minister yet, claiming that one day he'll be Prime Minister in Parliament?
00:02:00.060Or is it Justin Trudeau and the Liberals looking increasingly as unhealthy as the NDP are, while the Conservatives just run away with the next federal election?
00:02:08.860I'm loving it. I'm a Conservative. I want to see the Liberals go down to flaming defeat. But man, you got to put this into context. As bad as the polling is for the Liberals, what's even worse is that the Conservatives, every single year, can basically spend three to five million dollars just advertising themselves and running down Trudeau, because they have all this extra money on their hands.
00:02:28.080And during a federal election writ period, the Conservative Party, just as any other party, can only spend like up to $150,000 in each federal riding. So the Conservatives are at the point where they actually can't really spend in most ridings. They'll have way more money than the maximum for every single riding they're seriously going to contend for.
00:02:45.960So they have nothing better to do but then offload money just running ads about how great Pierre Polyev is and how terrible Justin Trudeau is. This is what is going to kill off the Liberal Party.
00:02:57.520The Conservative opposition leader, Pierre Polyev, his name recognition is skyrocketing these days because he has the budget to make sure his name recognition is going to go up. It's also because he's highly talented at using social media and the Liberals can't help but continue talking about Pierre Polyev, which is also helping his name recognition.
00:03:16.760I've said this in multiple videos before, the biggest obstacle for an opposition leader becoming the Prime Minister is name recognition. In Canada, unlike a lot of other countries, people don't really care about the sort of nitty gritty of politics.
00:03:30.920So people like Andrew Scheer and Aaron O'Toole come election time for them as Conservative Party leaders probably only ever achieved more than like didn't achieve more than 60 to 70% name recognition.
00:03:41.880I guarantee most people who voted in that election would have had a hard time naming all the leaders of all the political parties in Canada. It's just the sort of thing that happens in Canada. The amount of that political parties can spend on politics in Canada or people can donate is far lower than in the U.S.
00:03:58.520An Illinois Senate race or governor's race, even though it's obviously going to be a Democratic victory, probably has more spending in it than a Canadian federal election entirely.
00:04:09.720And when there's not a lot of money in politics, it actually limits the amount people can care about politics because you spend your money on things you care about.
00:04:16.600And when the Canadian system like I think there's too much money in American politics, but there's too little money in Canadian politics to the point where people can only throw usually half dollars around in order to actually promote themselves.
00:04:29.200Just like Peter Polly and the Conservatives have broken through that issue by just being so popular, every single Conservative member or even supporter who's not a member is willing to throw at least $100 at them to make sure that they can get their message out there.
00:04:42.080And that has been skyrocketing the Conservatives' message of smaller government and dumping Trudeau.
00:04:48.520I want to show this other one. This one is even more terrifying for the Liberals this Halloween.
00:04:54.700I just want to keep plugging that it's Halloween. Gotta pretend like I actually care about the holiday.
00:05:00.360But the 2023 overall numbers. Look at this. So far in 2023, and follow Eric Grenier for posting all this stuff.
00:05:08.700He's from the RIT and I really appreciate whenever people post numbers like this.
00:05:11.840The Conservatives this year so far have fundraised $23.3 million.
00:05:19.000The Liberals have only posted $9.8 million. That is death for the Liberal Party.
00:05:27.240Again, and the NDP have raised a little bit less than half for the entire year than the Liberals.
00:05:32.100But again, the Liberals are far closer to the NDP's numbers than they are to the Conservatives' numbers.
00:05:39.160Usually the Conservatives, I said this when I did a fundraising video a few months ago.
00:05:44.460The Conservatives usually have a little bit more money than the Liberals.
00:05:47.700It's simply that the Conservatives are competitive in larger portions of the country.
00:05:51.440So many people are willing to donate to them.
00:05:53.520Whereas the Liberals have smaller areas that they have to win, like the GTA, Montreal area, Vancouver, and Atlantic Canada.
00:06:56.960But it's the Liberal Party supporters who, in an abacus data poll, are 41% saying that they don't want Justin Trudeau to run as Prime Minister this next election again.
00:07:07.180Those are 2021 supporters of the Liberal Party, very recent voters of the Liberal Party.
00:07:11.820A plurality of them don't want him running again.
00:07:42.340But with the NDP and the Liberals, when you combined it, their coalition probably has about a 55%, 50% rate of people just wanting Trudeau to step down.
00:07:53.140And I guarantee there's a lot of donors in the background of the Liberals who are explicitly telling them,
00:07:57.940Unless you swap out Justin Trudeau with like a Mark Carney, or I don't know why you would want this, but like a Chrystia Freeland, we're just not going to back the party.
00:08:06.560And there's rumors swirling about right now that certain Liberal MPs, like Ken McDonald, because he even literally voted to axe the carbon tax when they were put up for a vote,
00:08:17.340people like that might even cross the floor to the Conservatives because they're worried about their ability to hold on to their jobs.
00:08:23.300The Liberals are in free fall, and the fundraising numbers are showing the rot.
00:08:27.460Every once in a while, I run into people and they're like,
00:08:29.120No, the Liberals vote in GTA so efficient that they're still going to win anyways, or they're going to rig it, or they're going to do whatever.
00:08:35.980The 2021 election exposing all the CCP interference probably kills off any ability for an outside group to deeply affect the election.
00:08:44.540Nobody likes the media anymore, and even though the CBC, CTV, and Global News are effectively making in-kind contributions to Liberals
00:08:50.960by giving them positive coverage when they never deserve it, even though that usually goes in their favor,
00:08:56.000Too many people are sick of the media these days to really care about the media spin that,
00:09:01.140Oh, the Conservative Party under pure poly of this conspiracy party, and Justin Trudeau is just trying to stand up for the environment and kids or whatever they're saying now.
00:09:10.080Nobody cares about what they say anymore.
00:09:12.980Nobody cares about the Liberal Party's marketing and branding about how there's deep, scary Conservatives out there,
00:09:19.700and you need to go and support us, or they're going to push your grandmother down the stairs.
00:09:39.460Yes, they came back in 2021, supposedly.
00:09:42.120They didn't really come back as much as the Conservatives' coalition was a little bit too weak and ramshackle that it broke down before Election Day,
00:09:50.840whereas Andrew Scheer was a little too boring when it came to his messaging, and Aaron O'Toole abandoned his own base.
00:09:57.760Even with the CCP interference, it was mostly an internal Conservative issue as to why we lost.
00:10:04.060It was because Aaron O'Toole was not very conservative, and Andrew Scheer was listening to too many focus groups and not being himself on the campaign trail.
00:10:11.440Andrew Scheer is a great guy, but the problem is he listened to too many advisors in the back saying,
00:10:16.580tone down your social views, just sort of stick to just issues that nobody can disagree with,
00:10:21.900like giving people $50 tax credits if they enroll their kids in violin lessons and stuff like that.
00:10:27.760You need to take hard stances on issues or you're going to lose.
00:10:30.180That's what Pierre Paulyov is doing, and Justin Trudeau, even these days, Justin Trudeau's not taking hard stances anymore because he's terrified to take hard stances.
00:10:37.900He's even retreating on the carbon tax because he no longer believes in any of his policies anymore because he knows they're not popular.
00:10:46.160Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:10:48.380I have my normal legal fundraiser in the description of this video.
00:10:51.340If you want to support me in a fight against a Chinese billionaire who is claiming libel against the National Telegraph and myself,
00:11:17.880If you live in this riding, you'd buy a membership and support me or encourage a friend who lives in the riding to support me if you want a solid, principled conservative representing this Calgary riding.
00:11:27.700I don't want to turn this entire channel into just plugging my nomination campaign, so I'll probably tone it down unless people want me to talk about it.
00:11:36.720But other than that, I hope everyone has a great Halloween, even though I think it's a stupid holiday.
00:11:41.600So enjoy your stupid holiday, everyone, and have a great night.
