00:00:00.000 Two days ago, Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev's political career was sent into an utter death spiral because former Prime Minister Kim Campbell came out to criticize him, saying he is a hate monger and that the current Conservative Party no longer represents her values.
00:00:15.980 Like myself, you've probably all already ripped up your Conservative Party memberships and joined the Liberal Party dedicated to vote for another term for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:00:26.140 Or at least that's what the legacy media thinks that Conservatives should do in response to Kim Campbell's criticisms.
00:00:32.600 It's really funny to watch the legacy media not understand how typical Canadians, especially Conservative Canadians, think.
00:00:40.060 Like, we're all going to, you know, deeply care about the opinion of a woman who was Prime Minister for approximately seven seconds, got decimated in the 1993 election,
00:00:50.180 and since then has basically gone on tour saying any real Conservatives are bad people because they should be more like me.
00:00:57.480 A real Conservative is a Liberal.
00:00:59.340 And that really is the mantra of so many Red Tories, just like what Andrew Coyne does from the pages of the Globe and Mail or Aaron O'Toole did after stepping down as the Conservative leader.
00:01:09.440 A lot of Red Tories just exist to try and convince real Conservatives to become Liberals, that the only way they can win the next election,
00:01:17.560 or at least the only way that they can hold on to the support of people like Kim Campbell, is to effectively act exactly like Justin Trudeau.
00:01:25.180 Especially Andrew Coyne, not to go down too much of a rabbit hole, but that guy's just the worst.
00:01:29.800 He's not Conservative in any way.
00:01:31.500 He is an institutionalist.
00:01:33.040 If the Liberals create a carbon tax, he then will claim that the most Conservative thing to do is enforce that carbon tax,
00:01:40.000 because to get rid of the carbon tax would be to attack an institution, and Conservatives, in his mind, only exist to preserve institutions.
00:01:48.620 But getting back to Kim Campbell, I don't know why the media thinks this is like a hard hit against Polyev.
00:01:54.220 I guess it's because it was like International Women's Day yesterday or whatever,
00:01:58.320 that a lot of us are supposed to come out and think that, wow, you know,
00:02:02.740 Pierre Polyev was attacked by Kim Campbell, our only ever female Prime Minister, on International Women's Day.
00:02:08.920 Wow, that really makes you do a think, and maybe Pierre Polyev isn't the right Prime Minister.
00:02:13.960 Maybe Justin Trudeau is the best Prime Minister we've ever had, because Kim Campbell doesn't like Pierre.
00:02:19.100 Like, who cares?
00:02:20.260 It would be like in Alberta if, like, Dave Hancock came out to criticize Danielle Smith.
00:02:25.480 And I have nothing against Dave Hancock, I don't really know that much about him.
00:02:28.920 He was only the Premier of Alberta for, like, a few seconds, and so why am I supposed to care, because of his position, what his opinion on Danielle Smith is?
00:02:37.900 It would be like in Ontario, I don't even like Doug Ford, he's way too liberal for my liking.
00:02:42.800 But it'd be like if, like, former Premier of Ontario, Frank Miller came out to criticize, like, Doug Ford, it'd be like a who cares?
00:02:51.220 Who cares if he criticizes Doug Ford?
00:02:54.100 Frank Miller, not the comic book artist and writer.
00:02:57.340 Frank Miller, the former Premier of Ontario, does not really hold a lot of weight with many people.
00:03:02.700 It's like, you know, Henry Strom, the former Premier of Alberta, came out to criticize Danielle Smith, or whoever the lady was right after Bill Vanderzam was the Premier of, like, B.C.
00:03:15.740 These interim Premiers and Prime Ministers, frankly, don't really capture the imagination of Canadians.
00:03:22.680 And whenever you read Kim Campbell's criticisms of Pyrapaliev, it's just all backhanded stuff.
00:03:28.940 It's not saying that Pyrapaliev has done something against the values of conservatism that she believed in.
00:03:34.520 She can't name a value of conservatism that she actually believes in.
00:03:37.880 And she's, like, one of those people where she's like, I believe in equity and social justice because I'm a conservative.
00:03:44.280 People who just think that if they just say, I'm a conservative, and then they say liberal values after it, it makes those values conservative.
00:03:51.220 Like, again, shameless plug, I'm running for the Calgary-Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:03:56.160 If you live on this west side of Calgary, go check out my website, whyclaypool.com.
00:04:00.300 Buy a membership.
00:04:00.980 Make sure you can vote for me number one on your ballot when the nomination comes around.
00:04:04.400 But I have tons of people in this nomination running against me.
00:04:07.540 There's, like, 14 of them who you could tell if the Liberals had a better chance than this riding, they would have voted for the Liberals or they would have run for the Liberals.
00:04:14.620 There's people in my riding who, like, have stumped for equity.
00:04:18.380 You know, we need international gender equity.
00:04:21.320 Not equality, equity.
00:04:23.100 One of my opponents in, like, the piece written about her thinking about running, I think the word equity was used, like, 12 times.
00:04:30.360 You can't just sort of claim to be a conservative and then just only stump for liberal values.
00:04:35.660 That is all Kim Campbell did.
00:04:37.180 That is all Erin O'Toole did.
00:04:39.160 There's a lot of conservatives out there who think that just spending more efficiently in government, you know, using the money that the government takes from Canadians a little bit more responsibly than the Liberals makes you a conservative.
00:04:52.680 Maybe in the 1970s that makes you a conservative.
00:04:55.060 But today, I think you actually need to have a view of government not needing to be as big a part of people's lives.
00:05:01.740 You have to believe in small government, traditional values, all that sort of thing.
00:05:05.780 And if you don't, just run for the Liberals.
00:05:07.820 Like, just be an out-and-out Liberal.
00:05:09.360 And that's always been the thing with Kim Campbell.
00:05:11.840 She's never explicitly been a Liberal since she stopped being the Prime Minister, you know, that long time, that serious time of history.
00:05:20.620 But since she stopped being Prime Minister, she's pretty much just been a Liberal.
00:05:24.600 But she won't admit it because she likes the star power of being able to go around, like, claiming to be a former PC Prime Minister and that, like, conservatives, like, you know, big, like, capital P Progressive Conservatives should listen to her opinion.
00:05:38.780 I have not met a single person who cares about what Kim Campbell said.
00:05:43.000 Pure Polyev, in response to her, basically just said, hey, look at her record and then determine whether or not people should really care what she thinks because she was trying to criticize his record.
00:05:52.420 Pure Polyev, even if Chrétien attacked him, probably wouldn't have said that because Chrétien at least has some amount of respect from Canadians.
00:06:00.560 Canadians still have, like, a warm spot in their hearts for Jean Chrétien.
00:06:03.900 He has a record worth maybe emulating in certain parts.
00:06:07.200 But with Kim Campbell, there's nothing.
00:06:09.440 She was a horrible AG. 1.00
00:06:10.840 She was a horrible MLA in BC. 1.00
00:06:13.440 She was a bad MP. 0.99
00:06:15.220 You know, like, what am I supposed to say about this?
00:06:17.780 But because the legacy media just hates Pure Polyev so much and they're so desperate, they're wheeling people out like Kim Campbell as if it's going to affect the race at all.
00:06:28.540 New polling just dropped.
00:06:30.240 Like, Justin Trudeau has, like, a naked rating on almost every single issue in the country, especially housing.
00:06:36.360 I think he is severely below water.
00:06:38.460 I think maybe only 20% of people think he's doing a good job on the housing file.
00:06:42.680 Not many strong supporters of him, even in that poll question, like, in terms of, like, the 20% who liked him.
00:06:49.440 A large portion of that was not people who are strongly in favor of how he's been treating it.
00:06:53.360 But the media is so desperate to try and beat Pure Polyev, they're wheeling out Kim Campbell.
00:06:59.420 They know that Justin Trudeau cannot be recovered on his own reputation, that there's nothing that Justin Trudeau can do at this point that's going to make Canadians like him.
00:07:07.680 So all the media can do now is sling the mud at Pure Polyev.
00:07:11.280 That is why, and these are coordinated attacks. 0.99
00:07:13.760 As soon as this article came out, like a bunch of morons, all the people inside the Liberal Party as well as the left-wing media came out and said, 0.98
00:07:21.180 oh, this is a big hit against Pure Polyev. 0.99
00:07:23.420 How embarrassing a former prime minister had to come out and attack him.
00:07:27.660 No one cares.
00:07:28.460 Nobody really cares.
00:07:29.720 If next week, you know, I don't know, I can't even name anyone less popular than Kim Campbell.
00:07:36.900 I guess I'm stuck.
00:07:38.000 And I think that's, you know, rightfully so.
00:07:39.720 I can't name anyone less popular than Kim Campbell.
00:07:42.340 But they'll pretty much use anyone.
00:07:43.740 You know, Bill from accounting at Random Company has come out to say that he doesn't really like Pure Polyev that much.
00:07:50.140 That will probably be a story next week.
00:07:51.940 That's all the Liberals have, is claiming that Pure Polyev is unpopular despite his popularity.
00:07:57.200 I like all these people coming out and saying, oh, Pure Polyev says Canada's broken.
00:08:01.920 And that's an insult.
00:08:03.420 Canada's not broken?
00:08:04.320 Well, 70% of people in a poll said it's broken.
00:08:06.960 So maybe you should listen to those people and stop gaslighting everybody.
00:08:11.020 But anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:08:13.800 Again, if you live in my area of Calgary, check out my website, whyclaypool.com.
00:08:18.280 And if you want to donate to the legal fund for the National Telegraph, we also have that Give, Send, Go link in the description below.
00:08:24.720 I've paid over $26,000.
00:08:26.380 $26,000 into defending us in court against a crazy, really dumb defamation claim against us. 0.98
00:08:32.820 They know it's nonsense.
00:08:34.020 That's why they sued us in Alberta rather than Ontario, because in Alberta, there's no anti-slap legislation to make frivolous lawsuits go away faster.
00:08:42.500 So we've been grinding this out for more than two years.
00:08:45.060 So if you can contribute anything to that, it really helps us out.
00:08:47.900 And, of course, like, share, and subscribe.
00:08:51.180 And just leave any comments in the video based on, like, other topics you want me to cover.
00:08:56.900 I'll probably do a live stream later today.
00:08:58.760 So, you know, prepare yourself for that.
00:09:00.240 And I'll probably try and get some more content out regarding a lot of the really funny media discourse that's been going on these days as well as the new Abacus poll, because I think that actually does warrant coverage.
00:09:12.080 Anyways, have a great one, everyone.
