The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Liberal budget could trigger election - Carney has another awful week!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. It's not even surprising anymore when I say Prime Minister

00:00:06.340 Mark Carney and the Liberal government had a really bad week. It doesn't even need qualification

00:00:11.920 anymore, they've been having bad week after bad week. And I know as Conservatives we're not shocked

00:00:18.220 that they've had a bad week, but just from an electoral politics side of things, it's kind of

00:00:23.560 shocking that this early on they've been completely unable to get any wins under their belt. Like

00:00:29.540 maybe they'll try and point to Bill C-5, the Major Projects Act or whatever, but even that's been

00:00:36.640 demonstrated to basically be another boondoggle. We have set up an office to maybe potentially look at

00:00:42.900 potentially fast-tracking some projects that we may approve. It's nothing. It's just nothing. And

00:00:49.980 everything else that Mark Carney and the Liberals have touched so far have turned to Trudeau. Everything

00:00:55.140 has just turned into crappy Trudeau-era policies. I just want to take you guys through some of the

00:01:01.180 losses in just a second here to demonstrate how profoundly bad it's been for the Liberals to the

00:01:07.040 point where there are now rumors that the Liberals may try and call a snap election instead of releasing

00:01:13.100 the budget. Now, do I think that's likely right now? Probably not. But I could see Carney wanting an

00:01:20.220 election within the next year or so because of how badly things are going. So before all of the worst

00:01:26.800 economic news hits, maybe he's going to force Canadians to go back to the polls. But before we

00:01:32.360 get into the specific stories I wanted to talk about today, I just want to remind you that if you live

00:01:37.360 in the city of Calgary like I do, check out my endorsement list that I have below for all of the

00:01:43.760 positions, mayor, councillor, as well as school board trustee, if you don't know who to vote for yet and

00:01:49.080 you're just looking for some options, I have them down there. And then I also have options for places

00:01:54.380 like Airdrie, Cochran, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, and Edmonton. Obviously, I haven't been able to hit

00:02:00.900 every small municipality around the province because that's impossible and I am one person.

00:02:07.520 Anyways, let's get right into it. And again, that's linked in the description below and pinned to the

00:02:12.260 top of the comments for that thing if you guys want my endorsements. But this is what IRCC

00:02:18.740 had put out, the Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada, a federal institution for covering all

00:02:26.420 those areas of government. And they seriously posted this on their social media. I will remind you,

00:02:34.680 not remind you, I'll indicate to you, this thing has 1.5 million views. 1.5 million people's eyes

00:02:42.980 have graced this post and it only has 161 likes and there is 1,500 comments about it. That is a textbook

00:02:53.700 ratio. There are also more retweets than there are likes and I can guarantee you those are not

00:02:59.340 supportive people retweeting it. Those are quote tweets of people mocking this. This is absolutely

00:03:05.120 insane and it's borderline scandalous. I'll read this post for you from the IRCC.

00:03:12.240 Thinking about moving to Canada, did you know that Canada has public health care? Learn how it works,

00:03:18.300 who can get it, and what services are covered. Get the details and helpful tips. What are we doing?

00:03:25.760 We have a mass immigration problem in this country that is affecting housing, health care, jobs, and 1.00

00:03:33.580 even just societal cohesion. And the liberals are posting advertisements, presumably for the

00:03:40.880 consumption of people outside of Canada, because this doesn't make sense if you're inside of Canada

00:03:45.120 to be reading, promoting that you can come here and get free health care. No, no, no. In fact, we should

00:03:51.200 be changing the rules to make it that you actually should have to buy into our health care more than

00:03:56.840 just paying taxes if you've just arrived five seconds ago and you want to basically, you know,

00:04:02.860 make a, bring, like, use all of the health care services available to you. We just cannot have us,

00:04:11.080 our, like, our country become a doctor's office for everyone around the planet who can't get health

00:04:17.240 care in their own countries, or else we won't have health care either. And we really, at this point,

00:04:22.420 don't have health care. And rightfully so, you had people like Conservative Party leader Pierre

00:04:28.200 Polyev calling this out, how insane it was. It was covered, obviously, by independent media outlets

00:04:35.200 like Juno News this morning. Juno News covered the story, and Pierre Polyev here, quote, tweeted their

00:04:42.440 story and said, liberal immigration at its best. They spend your tax dollars advertising to people

00:04:49.020 overseas, promising them free health care if they come. Well, you can't find a doctor or get care.

00:04:54.940 Enough, sign here, to fix the broken liberal immigration system. And it's obviously just a 0.67

00:04:59.080 conservative petition there. But this was an issue that if you are, let's say that you are liberal,

00:05:07.560 you're the liberal party chief of staff, you know, like the liberal government chief of staff, or you're

00:05:12.560 the comms director, tell your people to say nothing. Don't say anything. Because this is an obvious loss

00:05:21.000 coming for the liberals. Nobody's going to read this. No moderate voter who's winnable is going to

00:05:26.820 read this and think that the liberals are right for advertising health care services around the planet

00:05:31.340 while we still can't actually get them in a timely manner. But something possessed the man to say

00:05:38.780 something. And Mark Miller, the former housing, I think the former immigration minister, I believe,

00:05:45.240 has come out to attack Polyev. And he says, this is from the same Pierre Polyev who spent months

00:05:52.240 pandering to groups across the country, promising visas for all and to stop deportations. You can't make

00:05:58.540 this up. There's actual footage of him doing this if people care to look. It's very funny that Mark

00:06:04.200 Miller is now basically acting like the PPC and saying, you know, that Polyev was not pure enough

00:06:09.780 on immigration previously. And by the way, I thought Pierre Polyev was way too soft on immigration

00:06:15.540 before this last election. And since then, he has toughened up on it a lot. But what's your point,

00:06:21.380 Mark? If this was a criticism coming from the PPC about Pierre Polyev, it would make more sense.

00:06:28.540 Because at least they can say that they've never been in favor of mass immigration.

00:06:32.940 The thing is, Mark Miller, you were the one doing the thing wrong. And Mark Miller is basically saying,

00:06:38.860 why didn't Polyev oppose me harder? He knew I'm an idiot. He knew I was doing the wrong thing.

00:06:44.640 Why didn't he jump in front of me and stop me from doing it? It's like, what are you talking about?

00:06:49.040 This is not exactly a way of trying to turn this L into a W. It is still firmly in the L category.

00:06:56.620 Trying to say that previously Polyev was on the wrong side does not mean that he is not on the right

00:07:01.820 side now. But that was just how the day started. We had a lot of other stuff happen, both today as

00:07:10.120 well as in previous days, that did not make the Liberals look very good. Let's jump over to this

00:07:15.900 one where we have Andrew Lawton questioning a Queen's University professor who is coming out

00:07:23.420 basically to argue in favor of bail reform. You know, the thing that lets people keep getting

00:07:31.280 back out of prison every single time they commit a crime, they'll get maybe booked, maybe they don't

00:07:36.280 even get charged, but they'll be arrested and then released the same day, no matter how many offenses

00:07:40.220 they've committed. And this was somebody that I am not sure if Andrew Lawton brought them in or the

00:07:45.180 Liberals brought them in. But my goodness, if you are the Liberal comms director, you should be

00:07:50.540 trying to make sure this person never gets in a committee room again, because they are obviously

00:07:55.020 crazy. Mr. Lawton, thank you witnesses for your time and testimony today. I'd like to start with you,

00:08:02.060 if I could, Dr. Myers, you mentioned that the bail system is the harshest it's ever been. Those were your

00:08:07.820 words. Do you think bail should be made easier to access after the culmination of our research here?

00:08:13.340 I think it absolutely needs to be more readily available for a lot of people in custody. I think

00:08:17.660 we can acknowledge that there are some people who are perhaps too risky or the allegations are too

00:08:21.740 serious. We want to focus our attention on those, not an automatic decision to detain, but to be able to

00:08:26.460 focus on those. We need to make release more available for all kinds of others who are there for more

00:08:31.100 minor reasons. This person teaches university students. This person is saying that our bail

00:08:39.020 system has never been more stringent, despite the fact that it is just a well-known fact in this

00:08:44.060 country that we have sometimes multiple assault perpetrators and sometimes people who have

00:08:50.700 assaulted children just automatically being released from jail the same day they committed their offense.

00:08:56.780 This person teaches university students. They are politically delusional. This is just what you

00:09:05.500 look like when you become this much of a Marxist. You just do not have the ability to perceive reality.

00:09:12.780 And by the way, I don't know why she's dressed like an NFL football player at a divorce proceeding, 1.00

00:09:18.780 but this is the outfit she chose to come and defend the current bail system and say that it's actually too 0.99

00:09:23.980 strict. So what are the sorts of offenders that are being detained pre-trial now that you think

00:09:28.940 should be getting bail and aren't and don't have it available to them? Most of the folks that have

00:09:33.340 been charged with non-violent offenses. And that would be the bulk of the individuals that go through

00:09:38.460 our bail court. You guys, non-violent offenses. That means robbing a store. That means shoplifters,

00:09:47.580 thieves, people trying to steal cars. The thing is, I think all criminals should not be granted bail if they

00:09:53.660 have been repeatedly committing a crime. You're a shoplifter. You get arrested once. It's your first

00:10:00.540 infraction. Okay. You can get out on bail. That's fine. Show up to your court date. You do it a second

00:10:07.580 time. You're being held until your court date because you obviously cannot be trusted. I hate

00:10:12.700 this idea that non-violent crimes don't matter. As long as someone wasn't bludgeoned over the head,

00:10:17.340 it's okay. No, it's not. It's actually ruining communities. It's ruining people's lives. It's

00:10:23.500 actually preventing people from getting to work when they have their car stolen and Canada has become

00:10:27.980 the car theft capital of the world. This is bonkers. The idea that we actually have these people in our

00:10:36.220 institutions of higher learning, teaching kids, and they have just no logical common sense. They have

00:10:43.900 no common sense when it comes to just being able to read a news story and then conclude,

00:10:49.260 maybe it's a bad thing to just let people out over and over again just because, oh, it's a non-violent

00:10:55.180 defense. And by the way, we constantly let out violent offenders. So what's she talking about?

00:10:59.580 You talked about in your career as an academic, quote, interviewing justice officials and accused

00:11:05.020 individuals. You didn't mention victims, victims of crime. Have you interviewed them as part of your

00:11:09.820 research? No, I studied the criminal justice system, not rather than what happens with victims.

00:11:13.980 Do you think that the experiences of victims should have any bearing on how offenders are treated by the

00:11:18.620 justice system? Absolutely. The victims are critically important in all of this, but nonetheless, we need

00:11:22.460 to remember the very important constitutional rights that we have and that those must absolutely be

00:11:26.860 protected and that while there may be harm to victims and we... Where is the constitutional protection

00:11:32.300 to never be held in jail before your trial because you keep committing thefts? Because you keep

00:11:39.100 engaging in larceny. Like, what are we talking about? You have the constitutional right to

00:11:43.980 basically keep running around committing your offense until the trial date where they maybe will

00:11:49.020 put you in prison and often they don't anyways. You can provide those supports that they may need

00:11:54.780 outside of the criminal justice system where they would be far better served. But why in 20 years of

00:11:58.860 researching this has interviewing victims not factored in if you think they do have a role to play in

00:12:03.900 the way these decisions are made and these policies are drafted? Because it has not been part of my

00:12:08.860 research agenda. I've spent the time sitting in court and talking to those who I'm interested in the

00:12:12.700 process of bail. I'm sitting in court. I've heard from many of victims about their experiences that

00:12:17.260 comes out in the open court. So you do indicate that people should as I'm paraphrasing but you said

00:12:24.060 they should be punished after a conviction. So who should be held behind bars pre-trial in your view?

00:12:30.460 I think a very limited number of people. If we go back 40 years we used to be sitting much closer

00:12:34.780 to about 20 or 30 percent of those in our provincial jails were in pre-trial detention. I suspect those

00:12:40.140 are the folks that needed to be there while other folks were able to be better managed in the community.

00:12:44.220 Well how does she know that those ones should be there but the ones who are getting out now shouldn't

00:12:49.100 have been there? Like and also listen to that answer to the question. He says who should be held

00:12:55.340 pre-trial. Reasonable non-crazy people I would say that you should basically be holding repeat

00:13:01.900 non-violent offenders and just any violent offenders. If you've committed a violent crime and it wasn't

00:13:06.860 just getting to a stupid fight at a bar or something like that yeah you should probably be held. If you

00:13:11.900 stabbed somebody you should be held because unless it was a crime where we can determine that you had a

00:13:19.660 specific problem with this person and now we're going to make sure that you're not going to see them

00:13:23.100 again in some way or whatever you should pretty much always be held if you're a violent offender

00:13:28.220 uh unless again circumstances dictate that it's just it's a one-off but you still need to face

00:13:33.740 punishment but you can still you know go to work or whatever the next day. I would say all non-violent

00:13:38.780 offenders who repeat the offense should be held too but if she wasn't crazy at least say well of course

00:13:44.940 violent offenders all she says is a very limited number of people because I guarantee you when we get

00:13:50.620 to a violent offender she'll be like well what race are they and then we'll determine whether or not

00:13:55.740 they should actually be held. Do you think that anyone who's charged with first degree murder should

00:14:02.220 uh be behind bars pre-trial? I would leave that to the decision makers to properly examine the

00:14:07.660 information that's been provided to assess the risk and make those decisions. So you think bail for first

00:14:12.700 degree murders is actually legitimate at times? I think in some circumstances it could be possible. I'm not a

00:14:18.060 lawyer. I'm not the one making these determinations. There are actually some cases where you could make

00:14:22.940 the case where somebody who was accused of committing first degree murder could be let out. It would be

00:14:28.380 like a situation where the person was accused of killing a very particular individual but there's no

00:14:34.540 indication the guy's going to go on a spree or whatever if he's even guilty of it. But in general

00:14:40.460 generally speaking most first degree murders are the type of uh you know criminals who shot somebody in

00:14:45.260 the commission of crime that you cannot let out of prison. Most first degree murders are not these

00:14:50.620 you know whodunit cases where the person is like a lawyer who's accused of killing like you know their

00:14:56.940 ex-wife who's a baker down the street or something like that. Most of them tend to be gang related and

00:15:01.340 they should absolutely always pretty much be held. And I trust the professionals who have all of the

00:15:05.580 available information to be able to make the appropriate decision in these cases. Another comment you had

00:15:10.620 made was that we cannot predict future behavior. You were basically you were saying that we can't

00:15:15.500 predict who will commit future offenses. So I would assume from that you're against three strikes you're

00:15:20.460 out laws that have been proposed correct? Absolutely. So how many convictions is enough for the system to

00:15:26.460 actually say we have a pretty good indication this person is going to re-offend? Well you know we might be

00:15:31.020 able to look at measures that indicate that somebody has a record of offending and those are exactly the kinds

00:15:35.660 of pieces of information that are considered by those who are making bail decisions. So you do think multiple

00:15:40.140 convictions you do think should actually count against someone in their their bail eligibility?

00:15:43.580 I think it should be a factor that is considered and weighed appropriately. It should not be the

00:15:47.340 driving and the only reason. Each one of those convictions that individual has already been

00:15:50.540 punished and held accountable for those offenses. At some point we have to acknowledge that they have

00:15:54.300 moved on. What happens if they keep getting re-arrested before any trials take in place because trials

00:16:00.060 take a while? That is like most shoplifters in every city in Canada. It's people who just keep doing it over and

00:16:08.140 over again because they know they're not actually going to be held accountable and they tend to

00:16:12.540 operate in kind of small gangs where they pool all the stuff they sell and then they have someone

00:16:16.940 else sell it for them and they all know that the system is not actually going to punish them. That's

00:16:21.260 why they do it oftentimes in the middle of the day. I used to work at a liquor store. It will happen in

00:16:26.700 the middle of the day because they were never going to be arrested. Let's focus on what the

00:16:30.860 allegations are saying of what they've done now. So someone who's committed murder against an intimate

00:16:37.500 partner, someone who has robbed a bank, someone who has committed violent offenses, they are arrested.

00:16:43.660 No, I'm talking about someone who's convicted. They have five convictions under their belt.

00:16:47.020 Your view is that that is a clean slate if they've already served their sentence the next time they're

00:16:51.500 up for bail? I said nothing about it being a clean slate. I said absolutely no. You said they've already paid their price.

00:16:55.580 They have paid that price but nonetheless the criminal record is a critical component that is

00:16:59.180 considered by decision makers when making the evaluation on the level of risk. We cannot

00:17:03.580 perfectly predict. We can make predictions on the base of offenses or records but they are imperfect,

00:17:08.060 meaning we are getting it wrong a lot. Nicole Myers, Queen's University, impeccable scholarship no

00:17:16.060 doubt right there. Again, I can't get over that outfit right there. Andrew Lawton has also put out a

00:17:22.060 tweet today that I thought it was a really good summation of the current liberal approach to justice reform.

00:17:28.300 We have Bill C2, which actually it's rumored that they actually might just kill themselves because

00:17:32.540 of how unpopular it is. But Andrew Lawton says, Bill C2, border bill that bans large cash transactions

00:17:38.220 and allows warrantless mail searches. Bill C8, cyber security bill that lets government force

00:17:43.100 people offline without oversight. Bill C9, justice bill that lowers threshold for hate. Can the liberals do

00:17:49.500 anything without tampering on civil liberties? And Bill C9 too, the way that they have basically altered the

00:17:56.620 word hate that allows them of our broader scope to go after people, it's not that you are trying to

00:18:02.940 directly incite hate and violence against a person. Like saying that guy over there, there, he did this,

00:18:10.700 that and the other thing and they're not true and you're saying someone should get that guy.

00:18:14.380 Yeah, that person should be obviously arrested. But now they just say the idea that you're just kind of

00:18:19.500 generally spreading hatred. Just generally, your opinions are too hateful and then so you should

00:18:24.700 be arrested. That's basically what Bill C9 is. It's patently insane. And it's one of those things

00:18:31.500 where you'll even have people on the left calling it out as kind of being draconian. But now let's move

00:18:37.580 on to some economics here with conservative MP Kyle Seback, who in actually back on October 10th,

00:18:44.780 but this has actually ramped up just today, was calling out the liberals for their really poor,

00:18:51.340 I guess, approach to trying to save the auto industry in Canada in the face of tariffs.

00:18:56.300 Because other than throwing just cash at the industry, they're not actually trying to make

00:19:01.900 it a better place. They're not trying to make Canada a better place for the auto industry.

00:19:06.060 They're simply basically keeping all the same bad tax and regulations, but just throwing

00:19:11.660 a bag of cash to the industry every once in a while, hoping that that's going to be enough

00:19:14.860 to keep them in Canada. And we have just proven today that it's not.

00:19:19.020 Yesterday, we retreated to an incredibly embarrassing display as the Prime Minister

00:19:23.500 stood here and bragged about a 10% tariff on Canadian auto. I had the privilege of meeting

00:19:29.020 with Unifor auto workers earlier this week, and they told me a 10% tariff on auto will mean the

00:19:34.940 end of the Canadian auto industry. So either the Prime Minister is unbelievably uninformed about what

00:19:41.340 will hurt the auto industry, or he actually doesn't care when President Trump says he wants to take the

00:19:46.780 auto sector. Is that why the Prime Minister is going to send a billion dollars of investment

00:19:51.020 to the United States so they can build more auto jobs for the Americans? 0.85

00:19:55.020 Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives need a reality check. At the end of the day, there are 60,000

00:20:00.460 jobs created. Almost half of those are in the manufacturing industry.

00:20:04.860 Now on the breaking news in Canada's auto industry, Stellantis is moving Jeep Compass production that was

00:20:11.260 planned for its Brampton, Ontario plant to the US. Don't try to give us a lesson. We have a Prime

00:20:17.820 Minister that understands the needs of Canadians. That's why we're building Canada strong.

00:20:24.540 It's all been going very well, of course. So yeah, we're losing that Stellantis plant, the Jeep Stellantis

00:20:31.660 plant in Brampton, because we're not a good place to set up shop for any businesses. Again,

00:20:37.980 it's one of those things where lower corporate taxes, lower general income taxes, lower regulations, 0.57

00:20:44.060 because at some point, if all you're trying to do is just throw enough money to keep the industry here,

00:20:49.660 the thing is, the industry is just going to get tired of just hoping for bailouts, and they'll just

00:20:53.740 go down to where they can actually make money in the US. So what are we even possibly attempting to

00:21:00.860 do in this country right now? I like this. And this is the thing that the Liberals have been

00:21:09.100 pushing on. Now they're trying to attempt to pretend that they are now trying to re-reform

00:21:13.900 bail reform. We're going back to this issue a bit. And it says, Liberal Party, new,

00:21:19.580 we're strengthening Canada's criminal code to keep violent and repeat offenders out of our communities.

00:21:25.420 quote, we're making bail stricter to keep you safe. PM announces bail reform bill. And I want to get up

00:21:32.060 to the next post because it feels like they just assume that the way that they're going to convince

00:21:36.620 you that he's actually serious about this is just having more police standing behind him in photos.

00:21:42.540 On this post from Mark Carney's account, it says, strengthening the criminal code is one way we're

00:21:48.940 combating crime. We also need the people and the resources to enforce the law. That's why Canada's

00:21:54.460 new government is hiring 1000 more RCMP personnel across the country to keep your community safe.

00:22:00.860 Do you know how pathetically low that number is? And apparently we're also supposed to hire like

00:22:06.140 1000 new border agents, but we've still not hired a single one. 1000 RCMP officers across the country.

00:22:14.300 Currently, we are in a Calgary mayoral election where the candidate I am backing,

00:22:20.140 Sonia Sharp, in one city, the city she's running in, obviously, is planning on hiring 500 new police

00:22:27.340 officers. So Mark Carney, the prime minister of the country, is planning on hiring just double the

00:22:34.380 police officers that a local mayoral candidate is in Calgary. This doesn't mean anything. Like,

00:22:41.980 and he's just surrounded by cops as if he's some big pro cop prime minister. He's not. And the whole

00:22:48.460 bail reform thing that they're going to re-reform bail, it's nothing. They're giving extra tools

00:22:54.140 to prosecutors to maybe hold people, but they're not getting rid of Bill C-75 that is the same-day

00:23:00.140 automatic bail reform law that is currently causing all the problems. So prosecutors have more tools to

00:23:06.060 potentially keep these people from accessing the same-day automatic bail, but it's not going to help

00:23:11.420 things out much because prosecutors still have to bend over backwards to utilize the tools the federal

00:23:16.860 government is giving it to try and argue that somebody should not be released. But right now

00:23:21.420 in the current system, they pretty much get released within a few hours giving prosecutors basically no

00:23:26.380 time. And so we are not going to see literally anything improved because of this, because that's

00:23:31.980 stupid. We still have the underlying problem with a small band-aid on top of it. But yeah, this was the

00:23:39.740 week that we had with the liberals. It was not very good. The jobs reports have not been great. And we

00:23:48.860 also have basically pretty much the liberal brand falling apart in many parts of the country. The

00:23:55.980 Newfoundland and Labrador provincial election, despite the PCs there being probably really squishy

00:24:01.420 type Tim Houston PCs, it was demonstrative of the fact that in a place in the country where the liberals

00:24:07.900 should still be strong, especially on a provincial level, the brand just isn't there anymore.

00:24:14.220 John Hogan, the premier of Newfoundland, he wasn't on the job for very long. He was only on the job

00:24:20.380 since March, I believe, March or May. He had a very high approval rating, but it turns out it doesn't

00:24:25.740 matter because at the end of the day, people don't like the liberal policy. So they can like your smile,

00:24:30.220 they can think that Carney's a nice guy, but I don't think they're actually going to vote for him in

00:24:34.700 another election. They didn't vote for him last time, they just voted against Trump. And now that

00:24:39.260 issue, based on all the pollsters polling, has fallen down to like fifth and sixth place in terms

00:24:44.940 of what people care about, which is a far cry from being the number two issue for all Canadians.

00:24:50.620 And the reason why the liberals won is a large portion of Canadians made that their one and only

00:24:55.020 issue was to spite Trump. Because yes, that's why we vote in Canada, to spite a world leader on the

00:25:02.700 other side of the border, which doesn't have that much to do with us. Yes, we have the tariff issue.

00:25:07.420 But the thing is, if we actually had a better leader, the tariff issue wouldn't have actually

00:25:11.020 been an issue, because we could have solved it, rather than fumbling around and then having to

00:25:15.740 beg to just get back to the negotiating table, as we keep doing things to tick them off, and then we

00:25:20.700 don't actually play ball at all when we actually are at the table. It's maddening. But this is why people

00:25:26.860 think that Mark Carney may be attempting to call an election earlier than we thought, because the budget

00:25:32.220 is apparently going to be a bloodbath in terms of all the debt, the size of the deficit, and the

00:25:37.900 size of the deficit it's likely going to predict for the next year. So Carney may actually want to

00:25:44.460 have an election within a year from now, so that all of the bad economic news doesn't hit him before

00:25:50.860 the election happens. Because usually, bad decisions made today takes a couple of years to actually see

00:25:57.180 the light of day. The sort of consequences of those bad decisions germinate for a while,

00:26:02.940 and then they burst onto the scene. So Carney is going to spend up a storm, promise all these new

00:26:08.540 benefit programs, promise all these new welfare programs, dump a bunch of money into select

00:26:13.580 industries, and then he will see if he can run himself into a majority government to save himself

00:26:18.940 from a snap election happening when all the bad economic news finally hits. But anyways,

00:26:24.860 that should be it for this video today, guys. Again, if you live in the city of Calgary,

00:26:30.140 check out my endorsement list for the Calgary mayoral and council elections in the description

00:26:35.660 and pinned at the top of the comments. I have a full list from mayor, every single council seat,

00:26:41.260 as well as public school board. I'm only missing one public school board position, and then I only

00:26:46.460 endorse two Catholic school board positions. Naturally, those kind of positions can be a

00:26:53.580 little bit more vague on who the good candidate is. And frankly, I don't vote in Catholic school

00:26:57.900 board elections. So I just endorsed a couple people that I know are personally good, but it's not like

00:27:03.660 I've interacted with these people before that much, or that I interact with that level of government

00:27:09.260 in any way. So I believe the only one I'm missing is like Ward 5 and 9 or something like that

00:27:15.260 when it comes to school board, but everything else is currently filled in. So check that out if

00:27:20.540 you're still undecided on who you want to vote for and you just want my recommendation.

00:27:25.340 And with that being said, thank you guys all for watching, and I will see you guys next time.
