I think I've developed a severe allergy towards terrible political marketing and advertising
00:00:04.660
materials. It doesn't matter what party it comes from, the Conservatives, Liberals, NDP, Greens,
00:00:09.600
it all hurts my soul because I know that on the other end of all this material, there is someone
00:00:14.160
being overpaid to basically hurt their own party. It almost makes me feel empathetic to Justin
00:00:19.560
Trudeau because the Liberal Party's advertising these days has only been getting worse. And you
00:00:24.600
think that about there's probably someone who's putting this stuff out who's being paid like $80,000
00:00:29.120
a year just to make Justin Trudeau somehow look worse than he already is. Just look at this tweet
00:00:34.420
that came out of the official Liberal Twitter account. It reads, the team, the plan, let's
00:00:41.540
keep delivering for Canadians. And it's like, okay, this very spare, simple Twitter post is
00:00:47.980
not helping the Liberal Party. If they're going to be actually trying to win back Canadians and
00:00:52.500
trying to climb back into the polls, they have to be saying, what are we going to fix? Here's
00:00:55.940
the mistakes that we made. And here's how we're going to make it better in the next year. By just
00:01:00.620
sort of saying everything that we're currently doing is fantastic. They're just going to be
00:01:04.280
continuing to alienate more Canadians because a lot of Canadians think they're out to lunch and
00:01:08.260
don't realize that their policies are hurting people. And frankly, when I read this post, I read
00:01:13.200
it as the team sucks. The plan sucks. Let's keep not delivering for Canadians. It's almost so simple.
00:01:19.440
Your mind wants to insert more words into it. Like the team, what team? It's Justin Trudeau and
00:01:25.740
a bunch of people who might as well be wearing masks of his face. There's no team here. And like
00:01:31.480
the plan, what plan? Like the literal plan has not changed in the last eight years unless he's
00:01:37.700
claiming that it's somehow going to get super good if he just keeps pushing the plan further.
00:01:42.080
Taxes and calling problems racist is not a plan. But I just wanted, this makes me want to have to
00:01:47.800
bring up this clip of Justin Trudeau from that press conference that photo was from talking about his
00:01:52.520
new, the new part of his plan, which is the continuation of the old part, which is continuing
00:01:57.060
to tax problems and then likely calling them racist in a few months time. It's not okay
00:02:01.780
that our biggest grocery stores are making record profits while Canadians are struggling to put food
00:02:08.760
on the table. So Minister Champagne will be calling on the heads of large grocers to come to Ottawa
00:02:15.080
with a plan to address the rising cost of food. And we expect to hear from them by Thanksgiving
00:02:27.560
Okay, so effectively his plan is extorting grocery stores because they're making record profits. And
00:02:33.940
for anyone out there who's going to accuse like Loblaws or any of these big grocery store
00:02:38.180
chains of gouging people in terms of price, you have to realize that these large big box grocery
00:02:45.980
stores make extremely little margin on every product they sell. The typical margin for Walmart,
00:02:51.580
and it's probably a little bit higher for Canadian grocery chains, but a Walmart usually makes about
00:02:55.880
3% profit margins on average for each product they sell. It's nothing. And it's a complete lie that
00:03:02.580
they're actually making record profits. There's actually been a fantastic post on Twitter from
00:03:08.360
Jagmeet Singh that got immediately community noted, which is a pretty damning community note that shows
00:03:14.660
how much he just does not research the things that he says. So here's Jagmeet Singh, and I'll just
00:03:19.700
quickly play the clip. It's about, again, him whining about Galen Weston and Loblaws and how people are
00:03:25.300
being price gouged. This is hilarious. Just take a look. You won't believe the news that I read today.
00:03:30.120
Sobeys, one of the large corporate grocery stores in Canada, just posted a 52% increase in profits
00:03:37.220
in the first quarter on food alone. Now this comes as no surprise. Okay. This is completely incorrect,
00:03:45.820
and I will scroll down and show you why. So this is the community note that's already been approved for
00:03:50.860
this, which I rated as helpful because of course it is. It says Sobeys net earnings
00:03:55.060
actually dropped last quarter from 173.7 to 149.4, and I assume that's in terms of like millions of
00:04:01.320
dollars. And then this community note goes on to say, this jump is in profit, he is quoting,
00:04:06.320
is from their parent company, Empire Co. Limited, and this was due to a sale of 50 sets of their gas
00:04:11.900
stations in Western Canada. So Jagmeet Singh has no clue what he's talking about, which is really
00:04:16.700
ironic because he literally started off the video by saying, you won't believe this, and I guess you
00:04:22.060
shouldn't actually believe this because if Jagmeet Singh is talking, he's probably lying, especially
00:04:26.660
whenever it comes to corporate, like corporate, like unethical practices or incredulity or whatever,
00:04:34.500
whatever. The thing with Jagmeet Singh too is that like he's probably one of the biggest allies of
00:04:39.700
large corporations because every single proposal he puts out that would potentially solve the problem
00:04:45.020
would effectively only give monopolistic power to these big box stores because everything he
00:04:50.940
proposes like higher wages for workers, you know, higher taxes on businesses, stuff like that, that
00:04:57.080
would only make sure that smaller grocery store chains would go under and places like Loblaws and Empire
00:05:02.860
Co. would just end up owning more of the grocery market. It's completely ridiculous. But this is
00:05:10.200
Jagmeet Singh's perspective on life. He's very much like Justin Trudeau. You know, they identify a
00:05:18.000
problem, they tax the problem, the problem gets worse, they tax the problem again, the problem keeps
00:05:23.240
getting worse, they call the problem racist, the problem gets worse, and then they just declare the
00:05:28.360
problem solved until people notice that the problem hasn't been solved, in which case the cycle continues
00:05:33.860
in where they start taxing it and calling it racist again. But I just want to move on to just
00:05:39.680
another post from Harjit Sajjan, because I don't think that the liberals understand that what
00:05:44.560
they're posting here is not at all appealing to Canadians. Again, I want the liberals to fail. So
00:05:49.800
I think they should just keep posting this stuff. But it again, hurts my brain knowing that someone's
00:05:54.960
being paid to advise the Liberal Party on how to market to Canadians. And this is stuff they come up
00:06:00.100
with. So Harjit Sajjan put out a Twitter post or probably a staff did that says conservative ignorance
00:06:05.340
and climate change is the threat to Canadians and the economy. I was in the Northwest Territories
00:06:10.220
last week speaking with Canadians who lost everything. Meanwhile, Polyev reschedules the
00:06:15.300
climate or yeah, yeah, Polyev reschedules the climate denial rally he had to postpone due to
00:06:21.760
wildfires in the Yukon. And it's like, okay, does he not understand that most people in the Northwest
00:06:27.620
territories and just Northern and Canada in general are probably going to be insulted by the fact
00:06:31.640
that Harjit Sajjan effectively only showed up to the Northwest Territories to try and market
00:06:36.680
against conservatives. He's not actually there to help. He's there to cross his arms, listen to people
00:06:41.340
nod, get a couple of good video clips, and then try and get votes out of it. He's not actually there to
00:06:45.880
help them, which is why the Liberal government and the Liberal government federally has not done a lot
00:06:52.020
for forest management. It is a partial provincial responsibility. But the federal liberals have had
00:06:58.220
like eight years to take care of it. And they've just never even touched the issue. Instead, they
00:07:02.700
tax the issue because they think taxes equal seriousness on an issue. And like, maybe that
00:07:08.220
I'm sort of rabbit holing a bit here. But that's one of the most annoying things in politics is that
00:07:13.220
people assume putting a price on something means that you're taking it seriously. Oh, we put a price
00:07:17.780
on pollution. Oh, we put a price on whatever. And I mean, like, we're going to put a price on like
00:07:22.680
intolerance or something like that by having some sort of like tax on social media companies if they don't do
00:07:27.420
like some sort of like misinformation, like work or whatever. Taxing an issue does not mean that you
00:07:33.180
actually take it seriously. It just means that you want money out of the issue. It means that you don't
00:07:37.900
actually care about what happens with the climate, you just want money in order to pretend that you're
00:07:42.200
taking the issue seriously, because it's a great little stream of income for the government and a
00:07:45.660
great way of buying votes by sending out rebates to people. It's completely like it's superfluous
00:07:50.800
government policy. It's just, you know, the most blatant way of pretending to take an issue
00:07:57.200
seriously while being able to profit off of it. But anyways, but this is what the liberal policy,
00:08:02.040
the liberal parties marketing has looked like for about the last three years. It's very much,
00:08:08.120
even though they're in government, pretending as if Stephen Harper is always kind of co-managing
00:08:12.500
the government that conservatives are always to blame for something. It's like when the wildfire
00:08:16.320
started off and like former liberal MP Catherine McKenna started calling conservatives arsonists,
00:08:22.180
as if the conservatives were in government the last eight years and blocking carbon taxes.
00:08:26.920
And that's why fires broke out. The liberals have been in charge. Things have been bad.
00:08:31.020
Yet somehow it's always that Polyev's holding an anti-climate rally. Polyev's opposing a carbon tax.
00:08:35.840
Polyev wants to give money to billionaires or something like that. Because I guess,
00:08:39.320
I guess cutting taxes is giving money to people, not just not taking it away, but whatever.
00:08:44.260
But it's either this or the liberals just pretending that everything's fantastic.
00:08:48.260
And the worst thing you can do when things are in fact actually kind of bad in the country
00:08:52.560
is just tell them, no, everything actually is great. You know, guys, the team, the plan,
00:08:57.980
don't you think it's fantastic? We put a check mark next to the team and the plan at Twitter
00:09:01.520
post. Don't you think that we're doing a great job? That's just insulting to people's like, you know,
00:09:06.800
basic instincts that when everything's getting more expensive and the government keeps doubling
00:09:11.260
down on the policies that they were running while everything was getting more expensive,
00:09:14.680
that they're probably not actually taking the issue seriously. And they're probably just
00:09:18.160
ducking the issue. But anyways, that's it for me today. I'm actually going to hopefully go over
00:09:22.640
some more liberal marketing material in the coming days. I'll probably link the video I did,
00:09:27.560
the interview I did with Clyde Do Something from his channel in the description of this video below.
00:09:32.540
I also am going to link in my Give, Send, Go for my legal fundraiser against a Chinese billionaire.
00:09:37.240
It's a defamation case. I'm currently winning it, although it's just still cost me over $15,000.
00:09:42.120
So any money you can chip in is greatly appreciated. And then I also have the TNT email list down
00:09:46.680
there. You can sign up if you want to get our videos and our articles sent directly to your inbox.
00:09:51.520
But that's it for me today. And hope everyone has a great afternoon.
