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.

00:00:00.000 I like to do this every once in a while.
00:00:02.880 Instead of talking about Canadian news or polling or whatever Justin Trudeau or Pierre Paulyov are up to,
00:00:08.980 I like to talk about leftist TikTokers and respond to the way that they cover Canadian news 1.00
00:00:15.140 because I think it's very telling of why the left is becoming increasingly unpopular in Canada.
00:00:21.480 These people don't know what they're talking about, are snarky as heck,
00:00:25.020 and they like to blame others for problems that the left, in fact, caused.
00:00:29.960 And I think that this is a prime example here of TikToker Steve Boots saying that
00:00:36.000 Pierre Paulyov is breaking Parliament.
00:00:38.780 The actual header to his post says Pierre Paulyov is breaking Parliament and people aren't even noticing.
00:00:45.020 How is Pierre Paulyov breaking Parliament?
00:00:47.560 Well, you're about to find out, and apparently it's that Paulyov's doing his job and that's a very bad thing.
00:00:53.700 Conservative leader Pierre Paulyov pictured here looking strangely damp.
00:00:58.020 I'm not asking why, because I don't want to know.
00:01:01.020 Anyways, he has ground Parliament to a halt.
00:01:04.500 For the last almost two weeks, he has been demanding documents from the federal government.
00:01:09.700 Documents that have already been turned over.
00:01:11.660 But he wants the unredacted documents, which is not a thing that Parliament has asked for before,
00:01:16.340 so the Speaker suggested that it should be sent to committee.
00:01:18.340 Because 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.
00:01:31.600 You know, having documents you can actually read and not covered in black ink that you can't read the words through?
00:01:37.520 That's kind of a big deal.
00:01:39.580 But he's like, they've never asked for this before?
00:01:41.660 Because they've never had to ask for this before.
00:01:43.660 Usually the documents are just presented.
00:01:45.640 And unless something is actually something that you cannot have publicly known,
00:01:50.180 they keep it as unredacted as possible.
00:01:53.160 They weren't even giving over a bunch of the documents.
00:01:55.920 They gave over some of them.
00:01:57.640 And then they withheld some.
00:01:59.080 And even the some that they gave over were heavily redacted.
00:02:01.720 That's the problem here.
00:02:02.700 Well, we have said no.
00:02:04.980 And that's where we're at.
00:02:06.560 The Conservatives are stopping the House from proceeding with basically anything else.
00:02:10.900 The Liberals can't really do anything about it.
00:02:13.180 They would need the support from another party to put an end to things.
00:02:15.700 And none of the other parties are supporting them.
00:02:17.320 The reason why I want to talk about this.
00:02:18.960 So the Conservatives are not holding up Parliament.
00:02:22.140 It's that the Liberals are holding up everyone else.
00:02:25.220 Because somehow you got the Conservatives, the NDP, the Bloc, and the Greens to all say that you have to hand over the documents.
00:02:31.640 If you can get those four parties to agree on something, it's probably something that objectively needs to be done.
00:02:38.220 And all this is around the Green Slush Fund funding.
00:02:41.280 I think it's the Sustainable Development Corporation, which the Liberals were just blatantly giving away contracts to friends.
00:02:48.920 People who were sitting on the Sustainable Development Technologies Board were giving contracts to their own companies with no oversight whatsoever.
00:02:56.460 So 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.
00:03:03.040 But he's pretending like it's a unique situation that Pierre Poeliev has caused.
00:03:07.600 This is because of a new Leger poll that shows that Canadians don't really know that that's happening.
00:03:12.420 55% of respondents to a Leger poll said that they had no idea about the parliamentary procedural issues.
00:03:17.260 And that tells us two things.
00:03:19.460 Number one, nobody cares.
00:03:21.340 Like Pierre Poeliev thinks that he's scoring massive political points about some documents.
00:03:25.080 He's not.
00:03:25.840 But this also shows that a lot of this nonsense...
00:03:28.400 The 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.
00:03:37.440 And it's not just politically effective.
00:03:39.000 It'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.
00:03:48.820 The 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.
00:04:04.160 The sensical political maneuvering that we see doesn't matter.
00:04:08.960 Nobody cares.
00:04:10.180 Like whose vote is going to be swayed by the fact that Pierre Poeliev held up Parliament based on document demands?
00:04:16.240 This 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.
00:04:31.060 This is what he thinks is politically relevant.
00:04:34.160 is 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.
00:04:45.100 Because 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.
00:04:52.420 You 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.
00:05:05.600 But 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.
00:05:16.360 Oh, who cares about that?
00:05:17.400 That's just because it's a generic centrist type of a thing to think.
00:05:28.660 Most people think that that's probably the right thing to think.
00:05:31.120 Oh, people should work together more.
00:05:32.460 If 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.
00:05:40.480 Greg 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.
00:05:49.320 It 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.
00:06:00.180 And 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.
00:06:09.340 I 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.
00:06:17.220 But the conservatives are on this side of the issue, wanting the documents.
00:06:21.480 So 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.
00:06:30.560 So 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.
00:06:45.020 It's ridiculous.
00:06:45.660 The conservatives want to have an election, and that's what this is all really about.
00:06:49.760 And so the real question comes to, how are we going to break through this?
00:06:53.460 The Bloc Québécois could break through this debate, but they won't, because they're demanding that the liberals pass two different bills that the liberals aren't going to pass.
00:07:00.260 One is the massive expansion of old age security, and one's about supply management on farms.
00:07:04.700 The NDP aren't agreeing to break the gridlock, but it's unclear what they're demanding.
00:07:08.720 Like, the NDP aren't helping, and they're negotiating, but it's really unclear what they're negotiating for.
00:07:14.480 So, great job, NDP, nailing it.
00:07:17.840 I'm sure you're scoring tons of political points during this.
00:07:19.820 Honestly, every single time the federal NDP is doing something smart, Steve Boots has a problem with it.
00:07:25.500 So, 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.
00:07:35.440 Like, 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.
00:07:45.880 I think he was mad that, like, they took socialism out of the platform or something like that, out of their constitution. 0.84
00:07:51.760 It was ridiculous.
00:07:52.820 But, look, this proves so many of these guys on TikTok, so many of these lefty personalities, they just don't know how politics works.
00:08:00.560 They see it as the sweatiest team sport ever, that is just, my team has to win.
00:08:06.720 My team has to win.
00:08:07.880 And, 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.
00:08:15.500 So, he's framing this entire thing as the conservatives are bad.
00:08:18.480 And, he doesn't know what the NDP and the bloc are doing, even though he just described that the bloc wants legislative cutouts.
00:08:24.860 And so, they're not going to come to the rescue of the liberals on them being corrupt.
00:08:29.440 If 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.
00:08:39.140 But, 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.
00:08:47.660 In this two weeks of nothing happening, who is this for?
00:08:50.640 This is politicians acting like children for their own amusement.
00:08:55.000 Canadians don't seem to particularly care.
00:08:56.700 More than half Canadians don't even know what's happening.
00:08:59.440 Ah, yes.
00:09:00.660 Steve 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.
00:09:09.620 Here's just another one.
00:09:11.120 I just, every, again, is so contrarian to the point where I don't know who watches this.
00:09:15.760 Even if you're on the left watching this, I feel like you'd get sick of this content.
00:09:19.600 It's just, Polly have bad. 0.97
00:09:22.060 Conservatives, mmm, nasty.
00:09:23.640 And 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. 0.86
00:09:37.460 So, here is Polly have in a post saying, stunning, 15,000 people wait in the pouring rain for hours for some ugly reject potatoes. 0.98
00:09:46.600 Thousands turned away when food ran out.
00:09:48.860 Is this the 1930s?
00:09:50.620 And Steve is going to explain the situation, which does not at all remedy Pierre Poiliev's concern on the state of the economy.
00:09:58.060 I want to take a second to talk about this post from Pierre Poiliev, because it is appalling.
00:10:02.640 Saying that it's stunning, there are 15,000 people waiting in the pouring rain for hours for some ugly rejected potatoes.
00:10:09.980 Thousands turned away when food ran out.
00:10:12.340 Is this the 1930s?
00:10:14.780 Ah.
00:10:15.080 So, a couple of things.
00:10:17.640 First off, the thing that he's breathlessly offended against is a giveaway on Ugly Potato Day.
00:10:22.800 I think that that would be a day dedicated to devastating grade school style burns, but no.
00:10:27.480 It's a day in which local producers give away their produce that doesn't meet certain requirements.
00:10:32.700 See, lots of produce is fine to eat, but doesn't pass the visual requirements for grocery stores.
00:10:37.420 It's too big, too small, misshapen, whatever.
00:10:39.460 Instead of throwing that food away, which was common practice for a long time, farms started just giving the food away to the community.
00:10:47.320 Okay.
00:10:48.480 How 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?
00:11:04.160 It's almost like he's not like he understands the concept.
00:11:09.360 The 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.
00:11:23.180 That that is kind of proof positive that we're in a bad state in the country.
00:11:28.480 But I guess Boots is, I don't even get what his point is here.
00:11:32.720 You line up, you get your ugly food, everybody wins.
00:11:37.160 And Pierre Poiliev, except for a bunch of the people who didn't get them,
00:11:42.060 thought this and thought, what a nightmare, what a horrible thing.
00:11:45.020 That must be stopped immediately.
00:11:46.660 Of course, so many people jumped in and said, this is the end result when Marxists are in charge.
00:11:51.160 Because yes, Marxists are obviously in charge of Alberta, blaming mass immigration, obviously.
00:11:56.040 This is an event that's gone on for nearly 15 years.
00:11:59.080 Nobody's ever been concerned about it until now.
00:12:01.020 But because Pierre Poiliev...
00:12:02.840 Yeah, because before, it was not nearly as many people who are participating.
00:12:09.260 And they weren't participating out of potato solidarity, that everyone really loves themselves some ugly potatoes.
00:12:14.820 So they showed up.
00:12:16.180 For most people, time is money.
00:12:18.720 And that they're not going to line up for hours to maybe get a few potatoes.
00:12:22.420 The whole point is that there are a lot of people out there who are so broke because of how bad Justin Trudeau's economy is,
00:12:28.100 partially because of things like high taxes as well as mass immigration, that they are lining up for these things in the pouring rain.
00:12:35.580 But he's acting like, what?
00:12:36.900 They never...
00:12:37.460 This never mattered in the past.
00:12:39.020 He almost sounds like Bernie Sanders saying, everyone's lining up for ugly potatoes.
00:12:44.700 That's a good thing because they're getting ugly potatoes. 0.69
00:12:47.080 It's like the whole Bernie Sanders...
00:12:49.080 People are lining up in bread lines to get bread.
00:12:51.580 And because they're going to get bread, that means it's good.
00:12:54.760 It's like...
00:12:55.800 Context, Steve.
00:12:58.200 Goodness.
00:12:58.800 Yeah.
00:12:59.140 This man used to be a school teacher.
00:13:01.340 Wants to frame it as some sort of like bread line thing.
00:13:03.940 He's breathlessly offended by people being given free food.
00:13:06.900 That's where we're at.
00:13:08.380 Partisan politics has truly eaten this man's brain away.
00:13:11.380 If Steve was saying that about himself, it would be so accurate.
00:13:14.740 He literally did the bread line thing at the end.
00:13:16.520 I 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.
00:13:24.540 He actually did the bread line thing.
00:13:26.800 Oh, it's good because people are getting bread.
00:13:29.300 Maybe it would be better that people can just choose to get food whenever.
00:13:33.560 Oh, you know, the ugly potato days is on.
00:13:35.900 Oh, but, you know, we got to get our kid to soccer because we can afford to put our kid into soccer.
00:13:40.140 You think those people can afford to put their kids in soccer?
00:13:43.260 Either 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.
00:13:50.600 So they start showing up in massive numbers for things like ugly potato day.
00:13:54.280 I don't know why I have to explain this.
00:13:56.760 But 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.
00:14:07.940 And 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.
00:14:17.520 I even have criticisms of conservative premiers.
00:14:20.340 Danielle Smith is not exactly on my Christmas card list this year.
00:14:23.460 He hasn't lowered income taxes.
00:14:25.360 The wasteful spending is through the roof right now.
00:14:27.620 A 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.
00:14:38.600 Doug 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.
00:14:49.480 I don't like that kind of thing.
00:14:50.580 But overall, it's the federal government who has the most bloated taxation kind of regime.
00:14:56.880 The highest tax is on the federal level.
00:14:58.860 The carbon tax is on the federal level, which voids the province's option to have one or not.
00:15:04.180 The like we have a lot.
00:15:06.140 They're blocking resource development, blocking pipelines.
00:15:08.900 They're not allowing us to actually get our resources to market.
00:15:12.380 There's a lot of problems that we have from the federal government.
00:15:15.400 And so, but Steve only ever sees the conservative in scenario because he is a partisan hack.
00:15:21.160 I can actually criticize my own side and criticize them in a way that's actually constructive and objective.
00:15:27.220 Whenever Steve criticizes one of his parties, it's always because they agreed with the conservative.
00:15:33.540 And conservative bad, so that's tactically wrong for Jagmeet Singh or whoever else to do.
00:15:38.900 This is all like very exhausting.
00:15:41.980 Anyways, if you guys like the channel, this is it for this video.
00:15:45.160 Make sure you subscribe, like this video.
00:15:47.160 You can leave a comment, give me any suggestions for future videos.
00:15:50.000 I always try and scroll through the comments at the very least.
00:15:52.640 Obviously, I'm not going to reply to everyone when there's like 400 comments in a video.
00:15:56.460 You know, I'm not going to like respond to every single one.
00:15:59.480 But I tend to skim it and usually I'll see like a good portion of what people think.
00:16:03.660 And I scroll for a while.
00:16:04.560 I'm not just looking at the top three most liked comments.
00:16:07.000 But oftentimes those are the ones that you kind of know are going to be there. 0.98
00:16:10.460 Like, you know, Trudeau sucks or whatever. 0.98
00:16:12.560 And so I always go down a bit further. 0.96
00:16:14.280 But if you also want to support this show, you can donate to the Give, Send, Go fundraiser I have in the description below.
00:16:20.360 We're being sued by a Chinese billionaire developer for defamation.
00:16:24.040 And in three years, he still hasn't actually proven how we've defamed him in any way or submitted any evidence.
00:16:29.900 It's just a way of trying to waste my money.
00:16:31.740 And it's wasted up to $33,000 on my money.
00:16:34.520 But we don't give in to bullies.
00:16:35.780 So we're still fighting him.
00:16:37.300 If 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.
00:16:44.460 I think everyone who's donated, it's really helped me out.
00:16:47.820 There 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.
00:16:55.140 And it's always come through.
00:16:56.260 So you guys have been an absolute blessing to me.
00:16:58.220 Anyway, so that's it for me today, guys.
00:17:01.860 I'll probably see you tomorrow, if not with a live stream later this week.
00:17:06.080 See ya.
00:17:06.420 Let's see.
