Pierre Paulyov is breaking Parliament, and no one is even noticing. The real issue is that nobody cares, and the only reason they care is because they don t need to be aware of it. And that's a good thing.
00:00:00.000I like to do this every once in a while.
00:00:02.880Instead of talking about Canadian news or polling or whatever Justin Trudeau or Pierre Paulyov are up to,
00:00:08.980I like to talk about leftist TikTokers and respond to the way that they cover Canadian news
00:00:15.140because I think it's very telling of why the left is becoming increasingly unpopular in Canada.
00:00:21.480These people don't know what they're talking about, are snarky as heck,
00:00:25.020and they like to blame others for problems that the left, in fact, caused.
00:00:29.960And I think that this is a prime example here of TikToker Steve Boots saying that
00:00:36.000Pierre Paulyov is breaking Parliament.
00:00:38.780The actual header to his post says Pierre Paulyov is breaking Parliament and people aren't even noticing.
00:00:45.020How is Pierre Paulyov breaking Parliament?
00:00:47.560Well, you're about to find out, and apparently it's that Paulyov's doing his job and that's a very bad thing.
00:00:53.700Conservative leader Pierre Paulyov pictured here looking strangely damp.
00:00:58.020I'm not asking why, because I don't want to know.
00:01:01.020Anyways, he has ground Parliament to a halt.
00:01:04.500For the last almost two weeks, he has been demanding documents from the federal government.
00:01:09.700Documents that have already been turned over.
00:01:11.660But he wants the unredacted documents, which is not a thing that Parliament has asked for before,
00:01:16.340so the Speaker suggested that it should be sent to committee.
00:01:18.340Because in the past, Steve, usually the executive, the PMO, is kind enough to actually give over the documents that people wanted in the manner that they wanted them.
00:01:31.600You know, having documents you can actually read and not covered in black ink that you can't read the words through?
00:02:06.560The Conservatives are stopping the House from proceeding with basically anything else.
00:02:10.900The Liberals can't really do anything about it.
00:02:13.180They would need the support from another party to put an end to things.
00:02:15.700And none of the other parties are supporting them.
00:02:17.320The reason why I want to talk about this.
00:02:18.960So the Conservatives are not holding up Parliament.
00:02:22.140It's that the Liberals are holding up everyone else.
00:02:25.220Because somehow you got the Conservatives, the NDP, the Bloc, and the Greens to all say that you have to hand over the documents.
00:02:31.640If you can get those four parties to agree on something, it's probably something that objectively needs to be done.
00:02:38.220And all this is around the Green Slush Fund funding.
00:02:41.280I think it's the Sustainable Development Corporation, which the Liberals were just blatantly giving away contracts to friends.
00:02:48.920People who were sitting on the Sustainable Development Technologies Board were giving contracts to their own companies with no oversight whatsoever.
00:02:56.460So what Steve is describing here, and I've read an article in preparation for this, is something that's happened 15 times in the past.
00:03:03.040But he's pretending like it's a unique situation that Pierre Poeliev has caused.
00:03:07.600This is because of a new Leger poll that shows that Canadians don't really know that that's happening.
00:03:12.42055% of respondents to a Leger poll said that they had no idea about the parliamentary procedural issues.
00:03:25.840But this also shows that a lot of this nonsense...
00:03:28.400The vast majority of people do not need to know about a situation in Parliament for it to be a politically effective thing to be hammering on.
00:03:37.440And it's not just politically effective.
00:03:39.000It's something that is the morally right thing to do for it to have more transparency in government so we can uncover corruption and more people can be made aware of the corruption.
00:03:48.820The whole point is the real payoff for Poeliev and the Conservatives and the NDP and the Bloc as well is for these documents to actually become public so Canadians can understand the extent of the misuse, the misappropriation of funds in government by liberal appointees.
00:04:04.160The sensical political maneuvering that we see doesn't matter.
00:04:10.180Like whose vote is going to be swayed by the fact that Pierre Poeliev held up Parliament based on document demands?
00:04:16.240This is the same man in the BC election kept going on and on about the BC Conservatives having candidates that made jokes on Twitter a few years ago or said something a little bit untoward 10 years ago in a Facebook comment.
00:04:31.060This is what he thinks is politically relevant.
00:04:34.160is people's social media posts from way before they were ever planning on running and which don't really reflect how they are going to be as people in the legislature.
00:04:45.100Because a random crank comment 10 years ago is not going to exactly flavor the way that you're going to conduct your business once you're an elected official.
00:04:52.420You know, just ask anyone else, anyone if the activity they have the, you know, I guess younger people, their online activity from when they were 14 years old, probably does not reflect them into their later 20s or 30s.
00:05:05.600But apparently that's something that Steve Boots thought was a big deal, but not rampant corruption, not getting documents to show to like show the rampant corruption, not accountability.
00:05:32.460If they know the story, then they don't actually, well, they would not agree that it's just the conservatives and liberals had to get better at working with each other.
00:05:40.480Greg Fergus, the liberal MP who became the speaker of the house, is saying the liberals have to hold a hand over the documents because that's how parliamentary procedure works.
00:05:49.320It is the legal, it is the legal right for the conservatives and the rest of the parties to demand these documents when the liberals do not have the majority to muscle through.
00:06:00.180And in fact, it would be moral for them to muscle through even if they could, because again, these documents are pointing to massive corruption issues and that should be exposed.
00:06:09.340I don't know why Steve seems to think that corruption is okay, but the left, and he obviously tends to be more of an NDP guy, I found.
00:06:17.220But the conservatives are on this side of the issue, wanting the documents.
00:06:21.480So now he is going to take the reflexive contrarian position that actually it's Polyev that's in the wrong without blaming Jagme, even though Jagme is also involved.
00:06:30.560So somehow in this scenario where the NDP, the party that he likes, is on the side of Polyev and the liberals are withholding the documents, somehow Steve Boots boils this entire situation down into blaming Polyev for breaking parliament.
00:07:17.840I'm sure you're scoring tons of political points during this.
00:07:19.820Honestly, every single time the federal NDP is doing something smart, Steve Boots has a problem with it.
00:07:25.500So, when Jagmeet Singh and the federal NDP broke their agreement with the liberals, and they said that they are now against the consumer carbon tax, Steve got, like, really upset.
00:07:35.440Like, this was, like, a big betrayal of the NDP, that, like, whenever the NDP does something, actually, like, does good political maneuvering, Steve's like, oh, my goodness, this is the end of the party.
00:07:45.880I think he was mad that, like, they took socialism out of the platform or something like that, out of their constitution.
00:08:07.880And, barring the NDP and the liberals being united on an issue, which makes it easy for him to understand the issue, well, I just want the conservatives to lose.
00:08:15.500So, he's framing this entire thing as the conservatives are bad.
00:08:18.480And, he doesn't know what the NDP and the bloc are doing, even though he just described that the bloc wants legislative cutouts.
00:08:24.860And so, they're not going to come to the rescue of the liberals on them being corrupt.
00:08:29.440If anything, that's shame on the bloc for not wanting the documents released, regardless if the liberals agree to pass their stuff or not, because, like, it's just the right thing to do.
00:08:39.140But, the whole point is, they're not coming to their rescue, because it looks bad to come to their rescue, unless they're at least given something to soften the blow of helping the liberals cover up the corruption.
00:08:47.660In this two weeks of nothing happening, who is this for?
00:08:50.640This is politicians acting like children for their own amusement.
00:08:55.000Canadians don't seem to particularly care.
00:08:56.700More than half Canadians don't even know what's happening.
00:09:00.660Steve Boots wouldn't know anything about acting like a child as he's wearing a Superman shirt and a beanie as his outfit in all of his videos.
00:09:23.640And then, a lot of the stuff is just trying to debunk conservatives by describing a situation or by describing something or explaining something to the audience that doesn't actually have any bearing on what the conservative, like Polly have here, is saying.
00:09:37.460So, here is Polly have in a post saying, stunning, 15,000 people wait in the pouring rain for hours for some ugly reject potatoes.
00:09:46.600Thousands turned away when food ran out.
00:10:48.480How does this refute Pierre Poiliev's concern that the state of our economy is such that 15,000 people showed up for Ugly Potato Day to get ugly fruits and vegetables and other rejected farm produce?
00:11:04.160It's almost like he's not like he understands the concept.
00:11:09.360The whole point is that in a normal economy where people are prospering, they don't line up in the pouring rain with crowds of people so much so that nobody's going to be able to, not everyone's going to be able to get their own potato.
00:11:23.180That that is kind of proof positive that we're in a bad state in the country.
00:11:28.480But I guess Boots is, I don't even get what his point is here.
00:11:32.720You line up, you get your ugly food, everybody wins.
00:11:37.160And Pierre Poiliev, except for a bunch of the people who didn't get them,
00:11:42.060thought this and thought, what a nightmare, what a horrible thing.
00:13:08.380Partisan politics has truly eaten this man's brain away.
00:13:11.380If Steve was saying that about himself, it would be so accurate.
00:13:14.740He literally did the bread line thing at the end.
00:13:16.520I don't even really pre-screen these videos because I want to talk about them kind of raw without like writing down notes or anything like that because that's boring.
00:13:26.800Oh, it's good because people are getting bread.
00:13:29.300Maybe it would be better that people can just choose to get food whenever.
00:13:33.560Oh, you know, the ugly potato days is on.
00:13:35.900Oh, but, you know, we got to get our kid to soccer because we can afford to put our kid into soccer.
00:13:40.140You think those people can afford to put their kids in soccer?
00:13:43.260Either they probably either they can't or because they put their kids in soccer, it's making it harder for them to afford other things.
00:13:50.600So they start showing up in massive numbers for things like ugly potato day.
00:13:54.280I don't know why I have to explain this.
00:13:56.760But again, so much leftist content these days is blaming conservatives who haven't been in power since like 2015 for the problems of the federal government.
00:14:07.940And yes, there are provincial governments around Canada, some of which I think are having a very bad negative impact on people's standard of living, like the British Columbia NDP.
00:14:17.520I even have criticisms of conservative premiers.
00:14:20.340Danielle Smith is not exactly on my Christmas card list this year.
00:14:25.360The wasteful spending is through the roof right now.
00:14:27.620A lot of nonsense going on that needs to be cut down on DEI programs, ESG programs, anti-racism programs, all getting millions and millions of dollars thrown at them in our government, which I don't like.
00:14:38.600Doug Ford, awful, bloated budget, patronage appointments everywhere, you know, just spending money subsidizing like battery plants and whatnot to try and buy votes in specific towns.
00:16:37.300If you guys want to contribute anything, there is a link to the Give, Send, Go in the description of the video below or pinned at the top of the comments.
00:16:44.460I think everyone who's donated, it's really helped me out.
00:16:47.820There was times where I was like, okay, unless someone donates, I'm going to have to have like a lot of credit card interest payments in this next month.
