00:00:00.000 At this point, you may know me as someone who appreciates good quality marketing.
00:00:05.580 And what's even more insulting about the Liberal Party of Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
00:00:11.080 other than all of their terrible policies, the way that they have contempt for Canadians,
00:00:15.260 is that they're not even good at marketing.
00:00:17.720 All of their marketing material is such trash.
00:00:21.520 They keep thinking that if they just say that, you know,
00:00:23.820 pure poly is a bad guy in videos or in social media posts, eventually, you know,
00:00:28.860 20% of Canadians will swing towards them.
00:00:31.820 Like, they have a 19 to 21 point polling gap underneath the Conservatives.
00:00:37.340 And still, every single one of their social media posts trying to attack pure poly and the Conservatives
00:00:43.640 is just kind of, you know, really monotone whining.
00:00:48.780 It's like, you know, they're going to try and cut programs that we put into place.
00:00:52.880 And that's evil.
00:00:54.240 That's basically fascism.
00:00:56.280 And this one is no exception where they have the Minister of Child Care or whatever and wellness.
00:01:02.980 I don't even know who it is.
00:01:04.360 It's like Families and Child Care Minister.
00:01:06.520 Some person that you don't even need to know at all.
00:01:09.040 They made a video of her doing this interview with some liberal hacky person 0.89
00:01:13.340 where they're pretending to have a serious discussion.
00:01:16.180 Like, they're both so worried about the Conservatives cutting $10 a day childcare.
00:01:20.560 And we need to all pay attention or this benefit that sucks.
00:01:23.960 And it's not actually getting anyone more childcare because it's actually disincentivizing people
00:01:28.540 from going into that childcare business.
00:01:30.600 That if we take away this benefit, the whole economy will fall apart,
00:01:34.460 even though everything is terrible and they know it.
00:01:37.000 Although, guys, remember in the G7, supposedly right now,
00:01:41.580 the Canadian economy is the best in the entire G7.
00:01:44.360 If you only take into account GDP growth, which is a fake metric because our GDP per capita
00:01:50.540 has been going down year after year for the past four or five years because the population
00:01:55.900 is what is driving GDP upwards.
00:01:58.600 But our actual productivity has remained pretty flat.
00:02:02.840 It's been barely going up, but not enough to make it so that our per capita wealth is going up.
00:02:07.900 But let's get to this video right here that the Liberal Party,
00:02:11.400 who still has the Pride Progress colors on its profile, I do not know why.
00:02:15.720 It's just because they're so progressive and they're just so tolerant and caring
00:02:19.780 that they just couldn't possibly get rid of it.
00:02:22.180 But in this post, they say,
00:02:23.660 Pierre Polyev and his Conservatives would cut the programs that Canadian families rely on.
00:02:28.760 I got to tell you, I don't.
00:02:30.180 Maybe it's because I don't know that many people with kids.
00:02:32.220 I do not know that many people who utilize $10 a day childcare.
00:02:35.500 Most people I've talked to think the program is terrible because a lot of daycares
00:02:40.280 that they used to rely on are just basically selling off their buildings and leaving
00:02:44.740 because there's just no way of making money anymore.
00:02:47.180 And so the program that was supposed to make childcare more affordable for them
00:02:51.000 has made childcare literally non-existent.
00:02:54.560 But here we go.
00:02:55.420 So this is what keeps me up at night, right?
00:02:57.940 As the Minister for Families and Children, Social Development, this is the question.
00:03:04.740 When we talk about childcare...
00:03:07.300 My goodness, do you see that little boom they did where they're doing a preview into
00:03:11.300 this crazy interview where she's like,
00:03:13.200 this is what really keeps me up at night, Paul.
00:03:16.240 I don't know what this guy's name is.
00:03:17.300 I don't know what her name is.
00:03:18.120 I don't really care to look it up.
00:03:19.500 This is what really keeps me up at night.
00:03:20.860 And then she opens her eyes really wide to make it clear that she's trying to be serious,
00:03:27.020 but she doesn't have the acting ability to come off very concerned.
00:03:30.020 She's like, this is what keeps me up at night, Paul.
00:03:32.220 Well, thinking about the Conservatives taking away $10 childcare, that really makes me fearful
00:03:38.680 to go to sleep at night knowing that families could have a terrible program taken away from them.
00:03:45.060 $10 a day childcare, this National Food Program, the Child Care Benefit.
00:03:50.720 Are these programs at risk, let's say, if the Conservatives were to come into power next year?
00:03:57.180 What guarantee do families have that these programs will remain in place if the Conservatives were to win the next election?
00:04:05.920 Are we going to look into whether these programs are even working?
00:04:09.200 We should investigate even the most basic questions as a journalist, as someone interviewing somebody that,
00:04:14.980 hey, how many people are utilizing the program?
00:04:17.140 How much is the program costing taxpayers?
00:04:19.020 How many more daycare?
00:04:20.940 Why is it that certain provinces and certain daycare providers have been complaining about the program?
00:04:26.900 No, no, no.
00:04:27.740 It says $10 a day childcare in the program's name.
00:04:31.300 We have a school food program or whatever.
00:04:34.180 And because it simply says that we're doing good things in the title of the program, that means it is good.
00:04:40.160 And yeah, this is not an interview.
00:04:41.340 I don't even know what outlet this guy's with.
00:04:43.900 So this is what keeps me up at night, right?
00:04:47.260 As the Minister for Families and Children, Social Development, this is the question.
00:04:54.340 And this is, to me, what weighs on me.
00:04:58.740 When I talk to families, when they share their struggles, when they share, you know,
00:05:03.300 the impact of the supports and the programs that we've been providing,
00:05:07.340 the reality is, is that this could all be lost in a second.
00:05:11.680 Every one of these programs, the Canada Child Benefit, the Dental Benefit, Pharmacare,
00:05:20.120 the National School Food Program, $10 a day childcare,
00:05:23.780 Pierre Polyev and his Conservatives have voted against.
00:05:27.680 Every single one of these.
00:05:30.260 So, um...
00:05:31.040 Okay.
00:05:32.080 Was the economy and family life better before the Liberals came in or after?
00:05:37.580 This is the actual questions people should be interrogating.
00:05:40.920 Also, they have her mic so sensitive.
00:05:43.960 It's so turned up for the sensitivity because she's, like, sitting there barely comatose.
00:05:48.660 And so it's, like, really, really sensitive mic.
00:05:50.620 And you can hear every, like, little...
00:05:51.980 Like, every little microscopic sound her mouth is making here.
00:05:55.980 But nobody is...
00:05:57.100 This is not weighing on you.
00:05:58.620 I guarantee not that many people actually ask them,
00:06:01.220 are the Conservatives going to take this away?
00:06:03.600 Guys, the programs are fake in the first place.
00:06:06.020 I actually want to...
00:06:06.620 I want to go look up what's actually keeping this lady up at night. 1.00
00:06:09.300 Uh, still don't care to look up her name.
00:06:11.720 It literally does not matter in any way.
00:06:13.960 The childcare program, not...
00:06:15.600 Everyone, yeah, if you pull it, will people be in favor of it?
00:06:18.620 Sure.
00:06:19.460 But that's because it's a good-sounding program.
00:06:22.320 But when it goes away and the economy gets better because the carbon tax goes away,
00:06:26.200 you know, a lot of other taxes get reduced,
00:06:28.040 people won't care whether or not they're getting their Canada childcare benefit.
00:06:32.260 Because they're going to have way more money anyways,
00:06:33.980 and they're not going to have to rely on government subsidizing different sources.
00:06:38.040 This is what actually keeps her up at night.
00:06:39.880 The fact that the Conservatives are above them 19% in the polls.
00:06:43.000 If all these programs were so popular,
00:06:45.320 you'd think that people would be rallying to the side of the Liberals
00:06:48.200 under threat that the programs might go away if a Conservative government comes in.
00:06:52.160 It's almost like that's not what motivates people at all.
00:06:55.680 The Liberals need to fire who's ever doing their communications work
00:06:59.180 in the sense that I hope they keep them because it's hilarious to me.
00:07:02.320 All this stuff is the worst.
00:07:03.920 All this is the worst marketing I've ever seen in my life.
00:07:07.020 But you actually have to have something positive to market,
00:07:10.560 not simply just saying that your opponents are bad people
00:07:13.820 because they're going to take something away.
00:07:15.160 What's your accomplishment that people actually like that you're marketing here?
00:07:19.100 It's basically just a cavalcade of alphabet-type programs
00:07:23.000 that they are not able to actually back up.
00:07:25.680 They do good things, but simply just naming the programs.
00:07:28.280 Because when they actually go through the enrollment rate
00:07:30.640 of many of these programs, it's terrible.
00:07:32.940 Nobody's going to sign...
00:07:33.960 Very few people have actually used dental, despite what they say,
00:07:37.840 because a lot of dentists don't take universal dental insurance
00:07:41.580 because it's barely paying them anything to do procedures
00:07:44.700 that they could get for...
00:07:46.540 They could get far higher payouts with private insurance.
00:07:49.620 Imagine a world in which we are talking about families
00:07:53.360 who are having a hard time making ends meet or getting ahead
00:07:57.120 where we see the cost of living has increased
00:07:59.920 and these supports are taken away.
00:08:02.860 The supports were not present when Harper was prime minister.
00:08:07.280 And guess what?
00:08:08.040 People were better off.
00:08:09.440 People literally had far better lives before all the programs came in.
00:08:13.580 This is the bait-and-switch that happens with a lot of liberal policy.
00:08:17.560 Is that they create a problem through mismanagement of the economy,
00:08:21.300 through higher taxes, through chasing away energy projects, mining projects.
00:08:26.120 And when a lot of jobs, when a lot of productivity dries up in the country
00:08:31.240 and people fall on hard times, the liberals come with a useless program
00:08:34.640 that really doesn't do anything that great.
00:08:36.920 Like, yes, some people will get benefits out of it,
00:08:38.780 but they'd probably rather have a better-paying job,
00:08:41.440 pay less tax, all this stuff.
00:08:42.700 And then they're saying, oh, imagine having to go through all this terribly difficult economy
00:08:50.860 without these program supports.
00:08:52.880 The program supports are only needed because of you guys.
00:08:55.900 Like, here's another thing that they're using to try and, like, go after PolyEv. 0.87
00:08:59.200 And so it's these, like, oh, we've—this one really drives me up a wall.
00:09:03.680 The liberals say in this post, spot the difference.
00:09:06.220 And under the picture of Justin Trudeau, it says,
00:09:08.960 lifted over 650,000 children out of poverty with the Chicanda Child Benefit.
00:09:14.420 They didn't.
00:09:15.820 Poverty is higher than ever.
00:09:17.360 We have food prices—we have, like, food bank usage is up.
00:09:20.780 Is that only adults using the food banks?
00:09:22.540 It's not.
00:09:23.100 They have a stupid metric that, you know,
00:09:24.900 more kids than ever have access to the Internet under our government
00:09:29.120 compared to Harper's government.
00:09:30.360 That means poverty is not a thing of the past.
00:09:32.660 You know, random other metrics they use,
00:09:34.900 like, oh, access to affordable hygiene products in schools,
00:09:38.400 access to school lunch programs.
00:09:41.580 All these things were unnecessary when Harper was prime minister.
00:09:44.300 But I guess in a technical sense,
00:09:46.560 now there's a bunch of kids who are, quote, unquote,
00:09:48.740 lifted out of poverty if we just mess with the metrics enough.
00:09:52.100 And, you know, it goes, $10 a day child care,
00:09:54.780 introduce the Canada dental plan,
00:09:57.560 taking real climate change action, whatever.
00:10:00.100 And then on pure Polya's side, it's like,
00:10:02.600 voted against the Canada Child Benefit,
00:10:04.560 called $10 a day child care a slush fund,
00:10:06.880 which it absolutely is.
00:10:07.980 And it's going to go to a lot of liberal-friendly
00:10:10.340 child care chains.
00:10:12.600 That money is going to end up getting delivered to in large chunks.
00:10:16.320 Voting against the Canadian dental care plan,
00:10:18.300 voting against climate action over 400 times,
00:10:21.140 helped raise the retirement age from 65 to 67.
00:10:24.420 Yeah, okay.
00:10:25.960 What's your point?
00:10:26.920 The economy was better under the Conservatives.
00:10:28.960 Nobody is convinced by this stuff.
00:10:30.700 Because, at the end of the day,
00:10:32.200 people actually have to live life in material reality.
00:10:36.360 And when things were better, they can tell.
00:10:38.960 Just because there's more programs doesn't mean, like,
00:10:40.900 well, Harper only had four programs,
00:10:43.420 and the Liberals have 25 programs.
00:10:45.780 That means my life was better.
00:10:47.260 Not a single person thinks through that metric.
00:10:49.880 This is just, it's like the Liberal Party
00:10:52.160 has to figure out that the conventional wisdom
00:10:54.520 of buying votes doesn't work anymore.
00:10:58.260 Nobody is actually going to be swayed
00:11:00.340 because you're going to target their region
00:11:02.160 or their demographic group with extra benefits
00:11:05.260 because people know that they'd rather
00:11:07.220 just spend their own money.
00:11:08.140 We are very much in a freedom era
00:11:09.540 where people are concerned about freedom issues.
00:11:12.840 Can I do what I want?
00:11:13.760 Can I get the job I want?
00:11:14.780 Can I make the money I want?
00:11:16.640 Can I move what, can I say what I want?
00:11:18.340 All this stuff.
00:11:19.020 That is what people care about.
00:11:20.420 But after an eight, nine year period of time
00:11:23.420 where it all had to do with
00:11:25.000 what's the government going to do?
00:11:26.360 What's the government going to let me say?
00:11:27.900 Where's the government going to let me work?
00:11:30.500 That's been the problem, and people want less of it.
00:11:33.380 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:11:35.860 If you want to donate to my legal fund,
00:11:38.880 it's out down in the description below.
00:11:40.680 If you live in British Columbia, though,
00:11:42.240 I'm currently out here in Abbotsford
00:11:44.080 helping a candidate in Abbotsford South, Bruce Bandman.
00:11:46.800 So if you live in BC,
00:11:47.940 I would urge you to donate $100 to his campaign
00:11:51.100 linked in the description below.
00:11:53.040 You get 75% of the money that you give us
00:11:55.540 back on your taxes.
00:11:56.880 So $100 donation only costs $25.
00:11:59.920 The only advantage the BC NDP and David Eby have
00:12:02.800 over the conservatives is purely the money.
00:12:05.040 So if we can close that fundraising gap,
00:12:07.120 the NDP are definitely going to be screwed here. 1.00
00:12:10.060 Anyway, so if you're not in BC,
00:12:11.780 maybe donate to my legal fund.
00:12:13.140 Maybe not.
00:12:13.720 Do whatever you want.
00:12:14.340 And then you can also sign up on my website
00:12:16.460 underneath wyattclaypool.com.
00:12:18.520 If you want local campaign updates
00:12:20.060 for specific races that go on in your area of the country,
00:12:23.760 if anything interesting is going on in your province,
00:12:26.660 your city, or even just your specific riding,
00:12:28.960 I have the ability to then send you guys emails
00:12:31.280 and let you know about good candidates,
00:12:33.500 good movements, good parties
00:12:34.660 to get involved with in that area.
00:12:37.000 And of course, like this video,
