00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:03.060 Did you know that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government are in a little bit of a leadership crisis right now?
00:00:09.700 Like, I knew about that, but somehow it seems like a lot of the online left in Canada has not yet been informed.
00:00:16.980 Because they cannot stop talking about pure Polyev.
00:00:20.400 And I'm not doing this silly accusation that the left often does, that if you're criticizing Trudeau and the Liberal government, then you're just obsessed with Justin Trudeau.
00:00:28.780 Obviously, we're going to talk about Trudeau a lot. He's the Prime Minister.
00:00:32.640 What I'm saying about the left, though, is although Polyev is completely out of the news cycle, they cannot stop talking about him.
00:00:39.760 Not because they're obsessed, but because they know their agenda is currently failing.
00:00:44.920 Even if you're from the Green Party or the NDP, you know that you're about to get wiped out by the Conservatives in the 2025 election.
00:00:52.620 So rather than talking about Trudeau, they would rather talk about the opposition leader, Pierre Polyev.
00:00:59.380 It's just the most desperate tactic you could possibly use when there is really nothing good to say about what's been going on the last couple of weeks.
00:01:07.480 And the NDP knows they own a lot of the destruction of Canada over the past few years.
00:01:13.120 So that's why their criticisms of Trudeau are pretty thin.
00:01:16.600 It's about he's too corporate. He doesn't do enough, like whatever the vague enough is, they haven't done enough of it.
00:01:24.280 And so that's what's led the NDP and the Greens and a lot of online lefty influencers to only want to talk about Polyev, which demonstrates that Polyev is winning.
00:01:34.580 Because if you're the opposition leader and you're the main news item every day, at least when it comes to how the left covers Canadian politics, it's probably because you're an extremely important person.
00:01:45.500 And all of this has just added to pure Polyev's name recognition.
00:01:49.220 And even when he's being attacked, the substance of the story most Canadians would tend to agree with Polyev on.
00:01:54.900 Anyways, let's do a little bit of a museum tour through social media and just look at how crazy this is, just how much the left is talking about Polyev at a time when literally everybody should be talking about Trudeau.
00:02:09.660 Like, I'm not telling you what you have to care about and what you have to talk about.
00:02:13.600 But if you're, you know, a commentator or somebody who's an influencer worth their salt, you think you'd be talking about the issue that probably 95% of Canadians would rate as the biggest issue, not the 1% of online lefties who thinks pure Polyev is a very big, evil, bad man who's kind of like Donald Trump in some vague, bad way, even though they can't really point out what's bad about Trump.
00:02:37.700 But Polyev's somewhat like him, ergo, bad. I don't know.
00:02:41.760 But before I get into that, guys, reminder, if you like this channel, make sure you're subscribed.
00:02:47.160 About 75% of you are not subscribed if you are watching the video.
00:02:51.040 My videos probably just pop up in your recommends and you click on them, but you've never subscribed.
00:02:55.200 So make sure you do that. Come on. Do it for Uncle Wyatt, even though you're probably older than me.
00:03:00.180 So here's Cult MTL, also known as Cult Montreal.
00:03:03.280 It's this culture magazine in Montreal that for some reason has been covering politics, you know, just at the time when they started getting a big subsidy from the federal government back in 2020.
00:03:17.720 They've been literally given tens of thousands of dollars every year, not just by the federal government, but also by the Quebec provincial government.
00:03:24.780 And publications like this, I know people say, you know, the National Post gets more money than the National Observer or they get more money than Anti-Hate Canada or Cult MTL.
00:03:37.540 Okay, sure. Yeah, in raw dollars, probably Post Media gets more money than Cult MTL.
00:03:44.000 I don't deny that. But as a percentage of their budget, National Post and other Post Media assets would probably keep on existing if all of the government subsidies were cut, especially if taxes were lowered.
00:03:57.260 But Cult MTL and National Observer wouldn't be open if they weren't being paid money by the liberal government because the liberal government money makes up a large portion of the budget.
00:04:07.540 Anyways, and now they write these very hacky articles about Polyev all the time.
00:04:12.180 And here's a quote from this article, and I clicked on it, and it's an article pretty much about nothing.
00:04:17.120 But here is their quote from their own article.
00:04:19.680 Canadians are being conned on a mass scale, and it's downright alarming how powerful social media platforms like X are allowing Russian-made propaganda,
00:04:28.800 another nefarious foreign interest to influence public opinion in our democracy.
00:04:34.080 And this is above a picture of pure Polyev with a headline, pure Polyev's rage-baiting and nipity slogans aren't what Canadian Canada needs.
00:04:43.180 How are those two things even connected?
00:04:45.400 Well, they want you to think that Polyev, because he's popular and because there are vague Russian bots, there are vague Indian bots out there, that that must be why pure Polyev is popular.
00:04:58.080 It's not that he actually has a popular platform and that he's talking about lowering taxes, cutting spending, actually arresting and charging criminals.
00:05:06.100 No, no, no.
00:05:07.180 It's because you're stupid and somehow Putin's making you like Polyev, even though then you'll click over to the PPC who are saying that pure Polyev's a stooge of Vladimir Zelensky or whatever.
00:05:19.300 Good sign that you're probably on target when it comes to your positions is everyone seems to disagree with you for completely contradictory reasons,
00:05:29.240 and that's what the PPC and the Liberals have been representing these days when it comes to criticisms of Polyev.
00:05:34.720 But yeah, pathetic article.
00:05:36.620 Again, December 22nd.
00:05:38.440 Was there nothing more interesting going on at the same time?
00:05:41.800 Here's this person also on December 22nd.
00:05:44.280 No election until foreign interference report is released.
00:05:48.180 Hashtag pure Polyev is a foreign asset.
00:05:50.680 Hashtag Canadian Poly.
00:05:52.400 Hashtag stop Polyev.
00:05:54.460 Like, guys, what?
00:05:56.020 Russian state-funded propaganda.
00:05:58.200 Where?
00:05:58.940 Where has Polyev ever been helped by the Russians?
00:06:02.480 Ever.
00:06:03.300 And then you have like Women Against Polyev, National Housing Plan, own two homes and you pay for all of them. 1.00
00:06:08.980 Like, he doesn't own two homes.
00:06:10.340 He stays in one government house, that is the opposition leader's house.
00:06:15.260 I have no problem with that.
00:06:16.420 I even don't care how much Trudeau spends on his vacations.
00:06:19.920 It's a drop in the bucket at the end of the day.
00:06:22.000 But for some reason, they think this is a big gotcha on Polyev that he lives in a taxpayer-funded house.
00:06:28.660 Okay?
00:06:28.940 Even a libertarian would understand that people who work in government should probably have decent salaries and should have like good amounts of services comped for them because it reduces corruption if you can actually make money in politics in terms of you can make money by being a representative.
00:06:45.320 It's the dumbest thing ever to like accuse Polyev of like, oh my goodness, he makes money.
00:06:51.780 Okay?
00:06:53.680 Yes.
00:06:54.540 Here's another post.
00:06:55.640 And I had to screenshot this one because for some reason, this person had me blocked.
00:06:59.140 I don't think I've even interacted with them.
00:07:01.080 And they're saying, we await the foreign interference report on January 31st.
00:07:05.640 Pierre Polyev will not be opposition leader after the report.
00:07:08.900 He could be in jail.
00:07:09.880 And then low below them says, pure Polyev will never be as good as Justin Trudeau as our prime minister.
00:07:18.540 I like how that comment at least kind of implies that Polyev is probably going to be prime minister, but they just don't think he's going to be doing a very good job.
00:07:26.700 The foreign interference report is not going to be good for Justin Trudeau.
00:07:30.300 I know that there's this stupid accusation, and we're going to get to it from Elizabeth May.
00:07:34.420 There's this stupid accusation that because Polyev hasn't read the Nisikov report, which requires him to then sign something saying that he will never talk about it, that that must mean that Polyev's the problem, even though Trudeau knows which MPs are probably foreign assets and won't say anything about it.
00:07:51.320 Here's what Vicky Campbell said, because this is something that previously this person with the Russian state-funded propaganda graphics was responding to.
00:07:59.820 Vicky Campbell says, no election until we get the foreign interference report, because that's what it's all about.
00:08:06.220 Polyev is desperate for the protection of the PMO.
00:08:09.240 Yes, he's desperate for the protection of Justin Trudeau.
00:08:12.220 He's running out of time, but Canadians have a right and deserve to know what and who they're voting for.
00:08:18.440 It's called transparency.
00:08:19.720 Oh, yes, Justin Trudeau, the king of transparency, and that's why he is the first love of Vicky Campbell, if you ever follow Vicky Campbell.
00:08:30.000 Here's another person.
00:08:31.080 I know a lot of these people are anonymous.
00:08:33.020 If you actually do look at these accounts, though, they tend to actually have a lot of clout in terms of a lot of liberal people retweet them.
00:08:41.540 A lot of liberal people like what they say.
00:08:43.740 The thing is that these are like the ground soldiers of the party.
00:08:46.860 I don't think they represent the party, but this is the mentality that the liberal party has infused in so many of his supporters.
00:08:54.080 That Polyev is not popular because he has good policies and he's talking about the issues people like, unlike us.
00:08:59.980 Polyev is popular because manipulation or something.
00:09:04.580 That everyone is just a temporarily confused progressive, and pure Polyev is dazzling them from losing their progressivism or whatever. 0.62
00:09:13.820 But this Debbie Rutgers person says, no election until the foreign interference report is released.
00:09:20.220 Can't get the clearance.
00:09:21.620 Can't take the briefing.
00:09:22.700 Can't protect the country.
00:09:23.760 Can't protect you.
00:09:25.640 It's crazy, all the stuff that's going on.
00:09:29.280 And here's another thing.
00:09:30.800 So Polyev and his family released this Christmas card photo, and somehow the liberals think that this is something that needs to be talked about, or at least liberal influencers do.
00:09:41.140 And this is not a small influencer.
00:09:43.280 Creep Pete has a fairly large TikTok account, like 100,000 plus people following him.
00:09:49.620 And he says to this Polyev Christmas card, by the way, Christmas cards tend to be shot a few months before you release them.
00:09:57.060 So he's going to be obsessed about the fact there's pumpkins in the photo.
00:09:59.860 So he's going to say, where's the usual media guys trying to find out where Pierre is?
00:10:05.720 Where's the outrage from low IQ morons that scream about Christmas being canceled?
00:10:10.040 Freaking out that pure Polyev is posting Thanksgiving photos for Christmas, almost like everything these people stand for, is a lie. 0.61
00:10:17.320 Oh my goodness.
00:10:18.120 No doubt Creep Pete tore his garments asunder after seeing this post because it made him so mad.
00:10:24.980 No, no, this is not anything.
00:10:30.500 There's this stupid lie that's going around right now being pushed by politically incompetent fools like Creep Pete that the legacy media is actually on the side of pure Polyev if you think about it.
00:10:42.980 They are not.
00:10:46.540 If the legacy media is on side with conservatives on anything, I think it's that the liberals are getting really tired at this point.
00:10:53.280 But when you look at interviews with Polyev with legacy media hosts, they don't like him.
00:10:59.000 They don't like conservatives at all.
00:11:00.780 The legacy media is a very liberal place.
00:11:03.560 But they seem to mistake that the liberals are not being defended as much by the legacy media as being like they're on the side of the conservatives.
00:11:11.520 No, the liberals just cannot be defended anymore.
00:11:16.320 It's just impossible.
00:11:18.120 You can't, it's just not, you can't do it.
00:11:20.240 The damage the liberals have done and the place that they put themselves in has made them impossible to defend so the legacy media just does it less.
00:11:29.640 This has nothing to do with Polyev, this next post.
00:11:31.960 I just want to talk about it because it's so pathetic how far Mark Carney fell in like a couple of days.
00:11:37.980 Remember when after Chrystia Freeland was going to be forced into the cabinet that Mark Carney was going to come on as like the finance minister in waiting?
00:11:46.660 Like he's kind of there doing the finance role, even if he's not an elected MP.
00:11:51.060 And then he immediately after Chrystia did the whole, you can't fire me, I quit bit.
00:11:56.380 Mark Carney ran for the hills.
00:11:57.800 Well, now he's very mad that Donald Trump is telling jokes about Justin Trudeau being the governor of Canada and all this stuff.
00:12:07.680 So you don't even need to see the post.
00:12:10.160 It's typical Trump trolling of Trudeau talking about Canada being the 51st state and Justin Trudeau being his favorite governor or whatever.
00:12:17.860 And Mark Carney here says, this is carrying the joke too far.
00:12:22.920 Oh, too much joke, I guess, for Mark Carney.
00:12:26.000 The casual disrespect, the poor tax math, and ignoring that workers on both sides of the border will be better off if we work together.
00:12:33.060 Time to call it out.
00:12:34.120 Stand up for Canada and build a true North American partnership.
00:12:37.600 Mark, just dance back slowly.
00:12:41.540 Get your left.
00:12:42.820 Why are you here?
00:12:43.760 It's like somebody stormed out on Christmas Eve or whatever, screamed at the family, I don't need any of you.
00:12:52.600 I'm going to go to my own place.
00:12:54.660 I don't need your Christmas cheer.
00:12:56.540 And then the next day, he's back just sitting on the couch.
00:12:59.720 You're like, didn't you leave?
00:13:01.480 Doesn't anyone ever leave in this business?
00:13:04.480 Doesn't Mark Carney get embarrassed enough?
00:13:06.300 He's going to take a month off.
00:13:08.740 Go to Hawaii.
00:13:10.140 Do anything.
00:13:10.820 Why are you here commentating Trump jokes on Twitter?
00:13:14.340 Weren't you supposed to be the finance minister?
00:13:16.460 That's all I think about.
00:13:17.920 When Mark Carney is popping up his head now, it's like, what are you here?
00:13:22.240 Why are you here?
00:13:23.220 That was like what he decided to make a tweet about.
00:13:25.140 He hadn't tweeted since like November.
00:13:27.000 And this was the thing he went in on, despite the fact that he really hasn't explained anything about the failed plan to replace Chrystia Freeland.
00:13:34.380 Oh, my goodness.
00:13:37.180 Here's a video of Elizabeth May.
00:13:39.380 Because now, because now they're the Greens, for some reason, are trying to get in on all this thing about how the conservatives are not are like involved in foreign interference or making these insinuations that the conservatives are actually the problem.
00:13:54.240 Despite the liberals being infested with CCP agents and people are unfriendly to the Iranian government and all that stuff.
00:14:01.580 It's not a matter of receiving top secret security clearance if you ask for it.
00:14:07.540 And I think in a lot of our coverage, there's been that assumption.
00:14:10.440 Why won't he ask for it?
00:14:11.860 Or even worse, why won't he get it?
00:14:14.180 The only thing that, for me, represents a concern about whatever may be in Mr. Paglia's background is his own decision not to subject himself to the review required to receive top secret security clearance.
00:14:33.120 Having gone through that process myself, I know it's not a matter of ticking a few boxes.
00:14:40.320 Can she answer what the actual security clearance gets him?
00:14:44.180 He gets to not only have to have like a really in-depth background check on himself, which he's done before because he sat on other committees where you needed a personal background check.
00:14:54.040 This is like a background check where we're going to do a background check on your dog.
00:14:57.440 And at the end of the day, what does Paglia get to do?
00:15:00.160 He gets to read a report and never talk about it.
00:15:03.140 That's the problem.
00:15:03.800 And he can't even do anything that would confirm details about it.
00:15:06.500 And this is all rules that the liberals have put in place that they could always get rid of.
00:15:10.020 They don't want to get rid of it because it allows the liberals to not have to get rid of the obvious foreign agents in their government because Paglia won't read it and he won't, you know, do whatever.
00:15:20.240 He won't jump through hoops that don't matter.
00:15:22.280 You really want to know, I've phrased it this way before, are you blackmailable? 1.00
00:15:28.240 So Mr. Paglia could clear this up very easily.
00:15:31.200 The only thing that raises doubts in my mind about whether he is in any way compromised, either by foreign interference or by something else, is his own refusal to go through the process.
00:15:41.900 It's it's ridiculous.
00:15:44.040 And she even she was the one who came out and said, oh, I read the report and it looks like nobody was actually involved in any foreign interference whatsoever.
00:15:53.320 And it's like, guys, Singh had to then come out and say, Elizabeth, you're an idiot.
00:15:59.620 But, yeah, there are absolutely are MPs who are pointed out as being assets of foreign governments or being like in contact with foreign like hostile governments.
00:16:09.180 And then she it was the most clownish thing ever.
00:16:12.260 I don't trust Elizabeth May.
00:16:13.920 I just know that she's probably not involved in the foreign government because who cares about infiltrating the Green Party?
00:16:19.020 The Green Party will infiltrate itself.
00:16:21.100 She even admits that she takes her talking points on Israel and Palestine from like Hamas front groups, that she lets them develop her positions for her.
00:16:30.320 And she's unwilling to actually think critically on it.
00:16:33.460 Here's another great post of people trying to now say that Polyev is a some sort of I don't even know how to describe this.
00:16:41.640 They think he's now against freedom because he wants to crack down on actual harassment.
00:16:46.260 So this Laura Babcock person says Polyev is sounding indistinguishable from Trump.
00:16:53.840 It's not even subtle dog whistling anymore.
00:16:56.300 He's running on starting a culture war and Canadians are at grave risk of falling for it.
00:17:00.560 And then this Will Greaves guy says, just listen to the vapid two online right wing rhetoric Polyev is spouting.
00:17:06.080 No details, no evidence, just vague promises to go after all the people his followers have been primed to envy and resent.
00:17:13.280 And what quote are they having a problem with?
00:17:15.080 So here Polyev told the Winnipeg Jewish Review in an exclusive telephone interview December 18th, 2024, that he will not tolerate and will, quote, defund, end quote, all of those with a woke anti-Semitic agenda, including at the universities who receive federal funding, as well as all federal funded museums.
00:17:35.440 He will reiterate that his plans to defund all those who are imposing a radical, terrifying, toxic ideology and will be applying apply to everything that the federal government controls.
00:17:46.680 He stated, I will fire government officials throughout my administration who are imposing a toxic, woke ideology.
00:17:53.680 How is this bad?
00:17:54.520 Because this person said that we're going after people, all of his followers have been primed to hate.
00:18:00.400 No, he will take away government funding from extreme wokists as well as anti-Semites. 0.87
00:18:08.040 So if you're running like a college program and you're spreading Hamas propaganda, the government doesn't want to fund that.
00:18:15.060 If you're pushing anti-Western propaganda, woke rhetoric, the government will not fund that.
00:18:23.920 And this apparently is very, very bad.
00:18:26.540 This is actually Trump-like, which is just proving that, you know, Trump doesn't sound that bad because Trump also doesn't want to fund wokeism.
00:18:34.640 That is apparently what being like far right is, far right these days, is you're just not woke.
00:18:40.560 Here's Creekbeat again saying, media forced Biden out too.
00:18:44.440 Apparently that's why the Democrats lost in 2024.
00:18:47.880 It's because Biden wasn't on the ticket, my goodness.
00:18:50.380 Media forced Biden out too.
00:18:52.300 And now we have Trump threatening Canada.
00:18:54.380 So I don't know, maybe just STFU.
00:18:57.360 And this is to Adder Canada, who is a notorious lefty when it comes to his cartoons.
00:19:02.540 And it's just a cartoon depicting Joe Biden saying, don't let anyone tell you you're staying on too long to Justin Trudeau, which is a pretty apt criticism from somebody on the left that Trudeau probably needs to go.
00:19:16.280 But apparently this is evidence of media bias against the liberals.
00:19:22.360 It's tiring.
00:19:23.900 It's so tiring.
00:19:24.800 And you go through these people's timelines.
00:19:26.280 And I have Creekbeat, BK Belton, Vicki Campbell.
00:19:29.720 I've gone through people like the Greens, and they're all talking about Polyev.
00:19:34.300 Like, yeah, they throw some jabs at Trudeau here and there.
00:19:38.480 But the thing is that their actual ire is saved for Polyev.
00:19:42.820 Here's something else that the Greens put out yesterday or a couple days ago trying to hit Polyev for foreign interference again.
00:19:51.220 And here's Dean Blundell reacting to it, saying, Polyev, pure Polyev is a foreign asset, breadcrumb trail from Elizabeth May, just in time for Christmas, January 31st, because they're obsessed with this report coming out, which I guarantee you is probably not going to show that Polyev is a secret Putin asset or something like that.
00:20:09.840 Could there be conservatives accused of being foreign assets in the report?
00:20:13.360 Absolutely.
00:20:14.320 Sure, there could be.
00:20:15.240 There's 11 of them.
00:20:16.760 And so I wouldn't be that shocked if there is somebody from a party as big as the conservatives who did something wrong.
00:20:23.080 But everyone's just trying to make these vague insinuations that it must all be about how bad Polyev is.
00:20:29.180 Even if, guys, if the report was bad for Polyev, do you think that Trudeau would be sitting on it this long?
00:20:34.340 He needs something to deflect super hard with.
00:20:36.500 He wouldn't be waiting until the absolute mandated day that things have to come out.
00:20:42.200 So this is what Elizabeth May said in a statement.
00:20:45.960 The only way for Canadians to know that the official opposition has not been compromised through foreign interference is support's leader to seek and obtain top secret security clearance.
00:20:54.840 I have urged him to do so since June 2024.
00:20:57.800 With great urgency, I urge him to do so now.
00:21:00.740 You know, Pierre Polyev is the only person in a position to clear the air about the Conservative Party and any potential favors owed to foreign interests.
00:21:08.420 What do these people even think there is?
00:21:11.060 Who does he owe anything to?
00:21:12.960 Usually, you'll at least have like a motive or you'll have something Polyev did.
00:21:17.520 And then evidence will come out later that explains why he did that thing.
00:21:21.040 What has he done so far that, you know, paints him or taints him in your mind as obviously working on behalf of that government and we just need to wait for the evidence to come out?
00:21:30.740 I can't name anything.
00:21:32.960 Absolutely at all.
00:21:34.020 Maybe there's a Conservative MP, but do we not think that we're going to have more interference inside the Liberal Party?
00:21:40.120 The party that has people who directly meet with Iranian government parliamentarians or are involved with CCP front groups?
00:21:48.960 Really?
00:21:50.780 Well, anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:21:54.960 I'll probably be back the next few days with another video.
00:21:58.100 I want to do an edited video with Brittany.
00:22:01.060 I had it saved from a few days ago, but I had to do a little bit of a heavier edit on it.
00:22:05.600 But if you want to support the show, again, make sure you're subscribed, like the video, leave a comment.
