The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Liberal FALLS APART when pressed on Carney's FAILED policy!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.480 Apparently, the most difficult thing on the planet for a liberal MP to do is justify the first year in office of the Mark Carney liberals.

00:00:16.160 They do not know anything they've actually accomplished, and this is why the liberals love bringing up Donald Trump and the Americans as much as humanly possible, 0.99

00:00:25.360 because that is their go-to excuse for the fact that they suck.

00:00:30.000 They pretend like they've gotten a lot done, but if they're actually pressed by a good interviewer 0.77

00:00:35.380 to actually list the things they've done, everything quickly falls apart.

00:00:40.180 And that's why today I want to show you a little bit later on in this video

00:00:44.120 a great interview on CTV News with Vashi Kapelos interviewing Liberal MP Wayne Long.

00:00:51.160 I'm saying we're going to get to that a bit later in the video

00:00:53.760 because I first want to start off with this very embarrassing moment in the House of Commons

00:00:59.240 where Wayne Long stands up for the honor of Mark Carney

00:01:04.320 because Pierre Polyev a week ago said that Mark Carney is badly educated.

00:01:09.860 Check this out.

00:01:10.700 Mr. Speaker, that Conservative leader and House leader

00:01:13.440 questioning our Prime Minister's economic education and experience

00:01:18.500 is like a third-line beer league hockey player

00:01:21.500 questioning Conor McGregor's hockey skills.

00:01:24.080 On this side of the House, we're focused on affordability for Canadians.

00:01:28.300 Now, that was pretty embarrassing. I don't think he watches a lot of sports. I don't watch a lot of sports. You can tell. Look at me. I don't watch sports. I watch like curling and like weightlifting during the Olympics.

00:01:55.160 I do know that Conor McGregor is, in fact, not a hockey player. He is, in fact, a UFC fighter and sometime boxer. I would say it would be good to actually question the hockey playing ability of Conor McGregor, and that is effectively what Pierre Polyev was doing by saying that Carney is badly educated.

00:02:16.040 Now, the liberals have been going on this big tear over the last week of saying, well, don't you know that he went to this Ivy League school and he has degrees and this, that, and the other thing? That wasn't Polyev's point. The point is that it doesn't matter what your credentials are. The actual knowledge that he soaked up in his education was apparently very bad because we can look at the results of him as both Trudeau's economic advisor as well as him as prime minister.

00:02:44.820 And it has been bad. And so Polyev is logically concluding that this guy may have gotten a technically good education, but he is miseducated when it comes to how the actual economy operates.

00:02:57.300 By the way, this is just such an embarrassing clip just from his performance here. I love his like tight finger pointing. He's trying to get really intense with Pierre Polyev here.

00:03:07.540 questioning our prime minister's economic education and experience is like a third line

00:03:13.980 beer league hockey player questioning conor mcgregor's hockey skills it feels like he's

00:03:19.440 doing like a chris farley but i like when he does his little pointing here conservative leader and 0.93

00:03:24.400 house leader that conservative leader and house leader he's like you know popping his butt out

00:03:29.700 a little bit and he's really throwing in his whole body into this little finger point he's doing this

00:03:33.980 like very limp finger point that member over there is questioning our prime minister which is like 0.99

00:03:40.220 going after conor mcgregor's hockey skills it's mcdavid idiot it's conor mcdavid come on 0.95

00:03:49.360 i can't whatever whatever we're gonna get a lot out of wayne long in this video by the way 0.89

00:03:56.560 this man needs to learn how to tie a tie he i can get better photos later i'm not going to do it in

00:04:04.540 this video but guys this is a collar gap some people say that the gap around the back is a

00:04:10.520 collar gap i think it's technically both called a collar gap this is a smaller collar gap it meets

00:04:16.000 in the middle very nicely and there's a small gap between the middle and each of the middles of the

00:04:21.280 collar. This is a proper tie knot for this type of collar. He's wearing this, like, big, big collar

00:04:27.180 gap where it, like, really splits out. He's wearing this tiny little collar in the middle that makes

00:04:32.040 his head look, like, massive. All men out there wear a proper size tie for your collar gap. If

00:04:38.780 it's too small for the gap and it doesn't fill it properly, it makes you look like you have a 0.65

00:04:42.560 massive, bulbous head. Anyways, now we're going to move on to Wayne Long being questioned by

00:04:49.640 Vashi Kapelos on the liberal accomplishments, whatever they happen to be. He had just gotten

00:04:55.440 off of a grocery rebate announcement. That's why he was in the grocery store, some update on the

00:05:01.700 nothing that the liberals are doing. And Vashi Kapelos then did an interview with him. And it

00:05:08.240 didn't go very well because, you know, she actually wanted to hear what they have been doing. And he

00:05:13.540 assumed that they were just going to get on television. He was going to get on television

00:05:17.040 with her and just talk about how you know mark carney's great and he's well educated and he's

00:05:21.600 not donald trump and that was going to be enough but vashi being like the one good interviewer in

00:05:26.560 the legacy media just steamrolls him with fair questions three weeks ago minister the prime

00:05:32.080 minister in question period said about canada affordability is the best it's been in over a

00:05:37.360 decade do you know anybody who feels that way i mean vashi i think that we all know um you know

00:05:43.840 know we're all mps uh all mps from coast to coast to coast understand that affordability is a

00:05:48.920 challenge i don't think that uh but but wayne like your prime minister said the one that should not

00:05:56.660 be questioned like renowned hockey player conor mcgregor is it the best it's been in 10 years

00:06:01.720 is affordability the best it's been i don't like justin trudeau but for the first half of 10 years

00:06:06.620 prime minister it wasn't that bad the rot had not yet set in the idea that it's like better than

00:06:11.980 ever for the last decade is delusional you know if you go back to the covid times when inflation

00:06:18.860 went prices rose with it um inflation's come down obviously within targeted numbers but prices

00:06:24.340 haven't come down so yeah because that's not how inflation going down works unless inflation goes

00:06:30.100 negative prices don't come down the only thing the liberals have done is maintained inflation

00:06:35.660 have just basically lowered inflation inflation went from like nine percent during some of the

00:06:41.420 years at during COVID, like nine, and especially with food is like 14% or higher on certain items

00:06:46.280 is now gone down to 4%, which is still higher than anywhere else in the G7. But that's 4%

00:06:52.700 is on top of all the other inflation that's already occurred. Him saying like, well, you know,

00:06:57.080 inflation has come down a little bit doesn't mean anything. And he knows that that's why he

00:07:01.940 immediately said we haven't seen prices fall. This is just already a disaster. He's just admitting

00:07:06.620 that basically Carney's filming, that affordability hasn't actually improved. Certain things like

00:07:12.300 housing prices have come down. That's a consequence of immigration going down, which the liberals can

00:07:16.700 take some credit for, but they'd only be taking credit for having maybe half solved the problem

00:07:23.320 that they caused. They spiked immigration, partly on the advice of Mark Carney, who was the economic

00:07:28.380 advisor who was advising on more TFWs. They've lowered the amount of TFWs and students and

00:07:33.200 and slightly lower the amount of new permanent residents and so some prices for housing have gone

00:07:37.680 down in certain markets that's good but that is like taking credit or just dumping a bunch of

00:07:43.680 mud all over somebody's floor and then half cleaning it up you still need to clean up the

00:07:48.320 rest and on everything else prices are still going up inflation's come down obviously within

00:07:53.440 targeted numbers but prices haven't come down so you know we know canadians are feeling uh the

00:07:58.560 pinch and i think it's incumbent on us as a government to act i mean as you know we recently

00:08:03.280 announced the groceries and essentials benefit we'll put up to 1400 in the pockets of working

00:08:09.120 families this year um you know only bottom 33 of income earners by the way it is a terrible

00:08:16.480 it's a terrible program it's going to cause more food inflation it doesn't actually benefit

00:08:21.200 everyone yes it's maybe benefiting those who would need it the most but it's not even helping them

00:08:27.600 that much you get up to fourteen hundred dollars if you're in a household where both people can

00:08:32.320 try and claim it but at the same time how about we just lower taxes so prices go down and so people

00:08:39.120 don't have to give as much of their income to the government but we can't do that because the

00:08:43.840 liberals are building a 90 billion dollar train between toronto and quebec city as a with a bunch

00:08:49.600 of other projects that we do don't need that have made the deficit so bad that their tax relief is

00:08:55.440 is 0.5% off of the first $50,000 of taxes where you don't even pay for the first $18,000.

00:09:02.960 That's their tax relief, a half a percent for the next two years.

00:09:06.140 And then they may add another half a percent onto the first $50,000 of taxes

00:09:11.320 that you barely pay anything on relative to the other brackets.

00:09:15.480 $1,250 per year for the next four years after that.

00:09:19.780 So, you know, we recognize there is an affordability gap

00:09:22.320 and we're taking measures to help Canadians with making life more affordable.

00:09:28.420 And I certainly, Minister, wouldn't intimate that your government isn't doing anything

00:09:31.060 in the GST rebate that you're referencing that your government...

00:09:34.160 Look at his face. Wayne knows it's not going well already.

00:09:37.500 This is not looking hot for him. I need that as a photo.

00:09:41.760 That's a great-looking photo of Wayne Long.

00:09:43.920 That your government is calling the grocery rebate is certainly an indication of one policy

00:09:49.660 that you are pursuing in that vein.

00:09:51.080 Another policy that was announced this week

00:09:53.180 is a lifting of the excise tax on federal excise tax,

00:09:58.360 pardon me, for gas and aviation fuel,

00:10:01.020 as well as diesel.

00:10:01.980 For regular gas, it's about 10 cents a litre.

00:10:04.640 The opposition has been asking, though,

00:10:06.340 for your government to do more.

00:10:08.480 And again, I'll put to you this sort of contradiction

00:10:11.060 in which we hear the Prime Minister say

00:10:12.900 affordability is okay, is good, in fact,

00:10:16.060 the best it's been in over a decade.

00:10:17.560 and the measures that you're pursuing.

00:10:20.720 Are you sure that you fully understand

00:10:23.420 the pain people are feeling economically

00:10:25.060 and that these measures go far enough?

00:10:27.740 Yeah, and that's a good point.

00:10:29.340 Why are you guys having to throw out these rebates

00:10:33.000 and reduce gas taxes by a bit

00:10:35.860 because they didn't want to do it

00:10:36.920 as much as the Conservatives wanted them to do

00:10:38.840 because then they're giving too much credit to Pierre Polyev.

00:10:41.740 They reduced it by a bit.

00:10:42.980 Why are you having to take any of these measures

00:10:44.800 if affordability was already fantastic?

00:10:46.720 Yeah, absolutely. We understand the pain people are feeling. We know there's an affordability crisis across the country and we're taking measures. It's a suite of measures that we're introducing to help Canadians with that. Again, you know, we came out of COVID. It was a worldwide pandemic. Crisis rose. Inflation rose. Inflation is down within targeted levels.

00:11:05.620 I hate this targeted levels nonsense. Sorry, if you set the target at still an unacceptably high level for normal people, it doesn't count as, oh, well, we're within our targets.

00:11:18.100 You know, our target was to not have everyone was not having 8% inflation and we don't have 8% inflation. It's only like three. Ergo, it's OK. It's still way too much.

00:11:30.540 we should have negative inflation or as close to zero as possible because of how crazy it was.

00:11:36.280 Food inflation is 4%. We're going to get to that later. It's really high considering that it's on

00:11:41.140 top of the inflation that had already happened. You can't just say it's at targeted levels.

00:11:45.920 And by the way, he's still, again, he is ducking and weaving to try and not actually justify the

00:11:51.780 words of Carney saying that we are at the best level we've been in 10 years, even though Wayne

00:11:57.700 long is now having to say yes we are in an affordability crisis if we're the best we've

00:12:01.980 ever been how are we still in an affordability crisis or are we just in a more than 10 year long

00:12:07.440 affordability crisis and this is the least bad part of the affordability crisis compared to

00:12:11.740 the previous nine years in which i would ask how are we still in it if you have had over 10 years

00:12:17.560 to figure this whole thing out man i feel there is a gap there's probably a you know eight nine

00:12:22.600 hundred dollar gap between what prices should be and where they are right now so the groceries in

00:12:27.360 essentials benefit is a is a big part of that you know today we had the announcement obviously

00:12:32.320 on june 5th we're going to have the one-time 50 payment and then on july 3rd the next payment

00:12:38.000 after that the four payments of the groceries and essentials benefit will increase by 25

00:12:43.040 so just to put that in kind of real terms for canadians if you're receiving a thousand dollars

00:12:47.680 a year you know four payments of 250 dollars on june 5th you will receive a 500 one-time top-up

00:12:55.440 payment the july 3rd payment the next you know payment in the groceries essentials benefit

00:13:02.400 wayne we understand the scope of the program this doesn't actually answer the question which

00:13:08.960 is why bashi's not looking very impressed here that was going to be 250 now it will be 310

00:13:15.840 so now that's a big difference for working families bashi and and we think that that's

00:13:20.080 going to help 12 million canadians i mean it's a suite of measures we are focused on affordability

00:13:25.040 you know i've long said many times that society our country our government should be judged in

00:13:30.000 how we reach out to the most vulnerable and we are focused on making life more affordable

00:13:34.160 affordable for canadians you know the excise fuel tax um suspension is 10 cents the removal of the

00:13:41.040 carbon tax was another 18 cents that's 28 cents per liter that our government has basically reduced

00:13:48.080 for Canadians when they fill up we know that's not true you can't you can't take away a tax

00:13:55.080 and then having added the fuel standards tax or the clean I think it was like yeah the clean fuel

00:14:00.780 standards tax they've added other taxes you can't just count the ways that you've reduced it without

00:14:06.220 counting the ways you've increased it that's why overall they've only reduced the tax on gas or the

00:14:14.300 cost of gas by $0.10, which is good. They should reduce it by more. It's still elevated compared

00:14:20.360 to where it was. Because remember, they're still getting 5% GST on all gas sales, and the gas prices

00:14:27.500 are massively elevated. So even with removing that $0.10 charge temporarily, they are still

00:14:33.780 taking in way more revenues than they would have been before the Iran war. It's just cutting

00:14:40.060 around the edges and then pretending that they've given you the world when they have given you like

00:14:43.600 a really small slice of the pie back from the giant pie that they took no challenges we know

00:14:50.120 we're in a worldwide challenge with respect to the economy you know our our economy our

00:14:55.980 relationship with the states has been you know ruptured um oh of course oh and then of course

00:15:01.520 he brings up trump he brings up trump and the americans it's always them i now need to bring

00:15:06.480 you guys to this a last clip that happened in a committee where we have the uh conservatives we

00:15:12.140 have Philip Lawrence from the Conservatives asking a liberal minister, I think a deputy minister,

00:15:17.720 one of the two, I believe it's a minister, just a regular minister, that why haven't they actually

00:15:25.240 reduced interprovincial trade barriers? This is one of the big promises from Mark Carney. He didn't

00:15:29.900 make a lot of them. He basically said, I'm going to remove U.S. tariffs and I'm going to remove

00:15:34.020 interprovincial trade barriers. How much progress have they actually made? Because this is a big

00:15:38.920 part of affordability. And you will hear it's basically nothing. With respect to interventional

00:15:43.980 trade barriers, Minister, we can all agree about the seriousness and the benefit for Canada.

00:15:49.700 Whether it's the IMF or Trevor Toome, the numbers are in the hundreds of billions of dollars that

00:15:54.420 can be created by eliminating these interprovincial trade barriers. And I would agree with you in so

00:15:58.600 far as saying there's been a lot of paper that has been signed, but it's results that matter at

00:16:03.000 the end of the day. The $200 billion number was often thrown away or thrown around, including in

00:16:08.540 your own party platform where you said we will reduce internal trade barriers uh which will save

00:16:14.000 costs up to 15 and expand our economy by 200 billion dollars that's five thousand dollars

00:16:19.340 for every canadian how much of that has been realized so far so madam chair through you to

00:16:26.400 mr lawrence a critical question and and thank you for asking it and you're right we've taken note

00:16:31.760 and we've talked about this in the house of commons and many of us informally about you're

00:16:36.480 right the potential upside economic benefit um in a federation um he's really delaying to try and not

00:16:44.780 get to the actual answer here like ours um obviously we do our part and then work with

00:16:51.400 our provincial and territorial counterparts there still is more work to be done to be honest

00:16:56.780 mr chair a great madam chair a great number um of the barriers that are visible to canadians and

00:17:04.700 to Canadian small businesses and to Canadian companies seeking to enlarge their markets are

00:17:11.400 in fact under provincial jurisdiction. If you look at where the federal government has authority,

00:17:16.380 we all know the sectors of the economy. They haven't traditionally been where we see

00:17:20.900 the sort of barriers that provide that headwind. But if maybe my colleague Janine has a specific

00:17:27.620 number in terms of what we think in terms of the GDP growth of the country has been the result of

00:17:34.180 removing the federal barriers. And if we don't have that precise number, I'm happy to ask our

00:17:39.160 colleagues. I'm tired. I'm tired. Of course, the interprovincial trade barriers are not a federal

00:17:50.140 issue. It's interprovincial. They keep saying, well, we did remove the federal barriers. We got

00:17:57.580 rid of anything that was, you know, preventing that. We got rid of any bad federal laws that

00:18:04.000 were preventing interprovincial trade. I'm like, that was never the problem. They're pretending

00:18:08.100 that they solved a problem that they never pitched to solve. The interprovincial trade

00:18:12.160 barrier problem was always with the provinces. And Carney, his pitch was that he was going to

00:18:18.040 be the guy to get the provinces to sit down, and he has gotten them to sit down, but he was going

00:18:23.600 to get them to remove all their interprovincial trade barriers and, you know, get this economy

00:18:28.300 fired up. And we're a year in, and we have not had anything to that effect happen. Nothing has

00:18:35.960 happened. He then says, well, you know, it is provincial jurisdiction. We know. We know it's

00:18:41.440 provincial jurisdiction. Carney promised that he was going to be able to get the provinces to do

00:18:45.940 it. You can't just promise something, and then when you don't deliver, you're like, well, that

00:18:50.040 is a provincial thing, so it's really not our fault. You promised you were going to get them

00:18:53.340 to do it and now you don't know then now you agree that it hasn't happened and then you're like well

00:18:59.800 we'll get back to you and how much are getting rid of barriers from a federal level has changed

00:19:03.940 things there was basically no barriers from the federal level because again the issue was

00:19:08.880 interprovincial trade barriers there is effectively no interprovincial trade barriers coming from the

00:19:14.040 federal government unless you count all of their anti-pipeline legislation if you count that they

00:19:19.360 actually really haven't made much of a dent on their own uh interventional trade barriers because

00:19:24.100 that is like the one area the federal government has been overly legislative like a regulatory

00:19:29.960 of in terms of moving energy from province to province they haven't touched it they're

00:19:36.720 incompetent they don't know what they're doing Carney thinks that everything is going to be

00:19:41.220 solved with like a cocktail soiree and a speech at Davos and it's just not how it works he's good

00:19:47.600 And there's this lie that he knows how the world economy works.

00:19:51.840 He knows how economics works.

00:19:53.460 He knows all the business people.

00:19:54.860 Then sit down and get something done.

00:19:56.760 When it's taken over a year, it's almost like you don't actually know what you're doing.

00:20:00.620 It's almost like those people don't respect you from the business world.

00:20:03.500 You were just a guy who popped up at a lot of networking events.

00:20:06.720 But what do I know?

00:20:08.140 I am not the Conor McGregor of hockey the way that Mark Carney is, the Conor McGregor of politics.

00:20:16.180 Oh, my goodness.

00:20:17.600 Anyways, that should be it for today, guys.
