A 5th grader could prove that a lot of this stuff is just not possible at all, and this has resulted in Conservative MP Leslie Lewis doing a fantastic job going after Housing Minister Sean Frazier for the impossible promise that the Liberals have made to build 4 million new homes in Canada by 2031.
00:00:00.000One of the major and obvious flaws in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party's re-election strategy is that when you go around the country making these impossibly big promises and saying that you can achieve utopia in Canada if you're just given another four years in office and maybe another trillion dollars in taxpayer money,
00:00:18.540is that not only do most people not trust you already because you've only made things worse over the past eight years, but it sets up your opposition to mock you for these obviously impossible goals that you've set for yourself.
00:00:30.580A fifth grader could prove that a lot of this stuff is just not possible at all, and this has resulted in clips like this of Conservative MP Leslie Lewis doing a fantastic job going after Housing Minister Sean Frazier
00:00:43.340for the impossible promise that the Liberals have made to build 4 million houses in Canada by 2031. Check out this.
00:00:51.080Your government has set some pretty ambitious targets to build homes for Canadians.
00:00:57.640Your government's goal is 3.9 million homes in 2031. That's 1.096 homes must be built every minute. That's 65 homes per hour.
00:01:08.520We've been here just over 30 minutes. Has your government built 32 homes in the last 32 minutes, Minister?
00:01:15.000My view is that people who would suggest a problem is impossible to solve shouldn't try to interfere with the person who's trying to actually solve it.
00:01:24.660If your goal is to throw up obstacles every way, feel free. Have a field day. I want to solve the housing crisis.
00:01:31.440My goal is actually based on what I think it will take to solve it. As I expect, Mr. Chair.
00:01:38.220What a weak response from Sean Frazier. Lewis points out, are you really building 1.096 homes every minute?
00:01:48.800Have you built 32 homes in the past 30 minutes here? And Sean Frazier's acting outrage.
00:01:53.700Oh, well, how could you say that? Why are you throwing up barriers in front of me?
00:01:57.140What barriers? She's asking you questions. This is the purpose of the committee, to ask the housing minister questions about how his file is doing.
00:02:05.940And effectively, Sean Frazier's response is that he's Tinkerbell and you just have to believe in him enough and maybe the houses will start sprouting out of the ground.
00:02:15.260This is something that will turn Canadians off.
00:02:17.720People want promises that can be realistically achieved.
00:02:22.020It's not that people sort of get mad at politicians because they make absurdly big promises that you shouldn't have believed in the first place.
00:02:28.680People get mad when the promises were achievable in the first place.
00:02:32.220When you make a promise that everyone knows is just not possible at all, you're going to make people think that you're a party on its last legs, like the liberals are.
00:02:41.580And you're just throwing out promises saying that we're going to build 4 million new homes by 2031.
00:02:47.680We're going to give everyone free dental, free pharmaceuticals.
00:02:53.600We're going to have flying, hovering farms.
00:02:56.220That's when people just think you're a bunch of clowns that don't know what you're doing whatsoever.
00:03:01.280That was a great clip from Leslie and Lewis because the idea in anyone's mind that although, yes, there's a lot of house building going on all the time across Canada, in a country where the population is only 41 million people, no, we're not building a home per minute.
00:03:18.200And Trudeau promising that was basically just to get these urban progressive university students on board because he's, for some reason, fighting with Jagmeet Singh's NDP for supporters.
00:03:28.480That's when you know when you're on your last legs, when you're fighting over far leftists with the NDP because the liberals know the middle class does not believe anything they're saying.
00:03:38.260And so they're gearing more and more of the rhetoric to people who are taking anthropology degrees and don't know any better.
00:03:44.400That when a party comes out and says, we're going to ban companies from hiring replacement workers during strikes and that we're going to cap rent, those people start applauding, saying, oh, what a wonderful plan.
00:04:08.980Most Canadians actually think we spend far too much money.
00:04:12.240That's really hard to do because a lot of Canadians think restricting spending in government is an American thing.
00:04:17.860And some Canadians don't like being perceived as being like the Americans.
00:04:21.600So the typical wisdom in Canada is that we should always be spending more money on social services.
00:04:26.440So the fact that Justin Trudeau has gotten Canadians to the point where 67% of the population in polls say that we spend too much and need to reduce spending,
00:04:34.960it should give him a lifetime achievement award from the Conservative Party.
00:04:38.580He has done a better job than the Conservative Party in convincing Canadians that the government should shrink in size and spend less money.
00:04:45.960Through his sheer incompetence, people now are actually very skeptical of government promises of spending.
00:04:51.880Like the universal dental program is a perfect example that we're going to get everyone in Canada universal dental coverage if you don't already have it.
00:05:00.840And when you go to the Maritimes, I think it was every province excluding, I think it was PEI or like the Newfoundland and Labrador.
00:05:09.220That in those collection of provinces, it doesn't really matter what provinces it was.
00:05:13.740But in the collection of provinces in the Maritimes, the uptick rate for actually getting involved in the universal dental program as a dentist or as a dental firm was 0.001%.
00:05:25.180That nobody in the Maritimes wanted to be involved in this because the entire program hinges on trying to trick dentists into servicing clients for under cost.
00:05:35.360Or at very least, the dentist is basically being paid minimum wage in order to service government clients.
00:05:43.720And this is what young people need to be taught.
00:05:45.560The good thing is young people are actually voting Conservative in this next election by all the polling data.
00:05:50.100Still too many of them voting NDP and Liberal.
00:05:52.880But I think even young people are actually learning quicker than young people used to in the past.
00:05:58.020That when the government says that we're going to secure this good for you and give it out for free, is that it's not free.
00:06:03.780One, it's being paid for by massive amounts of taxpayer money.
00:06:06.920And two, it relies on destroying the industry it's meant to get the products and services from in order to get a small short-term gain.
00:06:14.520Every time a universal program comes out, it starts off great.
00:06:18.340Everyone loves it because I got service right away.
00:06:20.980And you get all these great anecdotal stories of, oh, I hadn't been able to go to the dentist in five years.
00:06:25.680And then suddenly I was able to get my teeth cleaned and this cavity filled.
00:06:29.620But in 10 years, when that same person is having to wait two and a half years to be able to actually see a dentist, they're going to realize it was way better before when I might have only had to pay Alberta Blue Cross maybe 30 bucks a month to have most of my dental coverage or most of my dental care covered in a year.
00:06:48.020People like efficient services, not just free service.
00:06:51.600And it's not even free on top of that.
00:06:53.180It's just, you know, slow service that you don't see the hidden costs of.
00:06:56.920The average Canadian family of four in this country pays about $5,600 in health care costs every single year when you actually parse out how much of their tax money is going to the health system.
00:07:08.000We pay more than Americans for less coverage than Americans.
00:07:18.080And I just want to quickly say before I end this video that if you live in the Calgary Signal Hill riding and you're a federal conservative member, make sure that whenever the nomination date for voting gets called, vote for me, Wyatt Claypool, number one on your ballot.
00:07:34.180And I don't remember his last name, but I would vote for Dean, number three.
00:07:37.860I'm making sure that people actually fill out a ballot so that we have people in terms of the most conservative to the least conservative filled out.
00:07:45.460I'll try and fill it in a little bit more as time goes on.
00:07:48.500But other than that, you can also donate to the legal fund in the description below.
00:07:53.220It's the Give, Send, Go link in the video description if you want to give money to the legal fund to help us fight back against this billionaire developer suing us for defamation that he hasn't provided any evidence to prove in over two and a half years of this case ongoing.
00:08:07.100So that would be very helpful if you can do that.
00:08:09.220And then I also have the TNT Telegram channel link in the description below.
00:08:13.540You can click on that, join the channel, and you'll get all of the TNT related stuff posted in chronological order, whether it's videos, whether it's podcasts associated with TNT, podcast appearances on other shows or articles that we write.
