Summary
In this episode, I talk about why the Canadian left does not get why Conservative Party Leader Pierre Polyev is so popular, and why it's because he does not bow to the dishonest Canadian legacy media. I also talk about Polyev's response to a question from a Canadian journalist who asked him a question about why he voted against a free trade deal with Ukraine.

One of the most entertaining things in Canadian politics these days is witnessing the Canadian left not understand why federal Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev is popular.
00:00:11.600
There's many different reasons for Pierre Polyev's popularity, but one of the main ones is he pushes back against the dishonest Canadian legacy media.
00:00:21.620
The legacy media got super used to being able to ask Conservative politicians absolutely anything.
00:00:27.600
It could be the most dishonest framing to a question, and they will still answer that question straight up.
00:00:33.160
You will go up to Aaron O'Toole and say, Aaron, when did you stop beating your wife?
00:00:37.100
And Aaron will actually answer it rather than going after the journalist for asking him such a skewed question.
00:00:43.620
Obviously, that was never a real question, but it's along the lines of what the legacy media does.
00:00:49.080
Some people, Mr. O'Toole or Polyev or Scheer or Harper even, people are saying that you're dog whistling to the racist far right.
00:00:57.600
And lesser politicians back in the day would just be like, well, I apologize if the way I've said things give people that impression.
00:01:05.260
And they'll act like this is a serious question, which gives credence to the negative implication of the question.
00:01:15.020
And the people on the Canadian left, because they've gotten so used to the media agreeing with them all the time and going after Conservatives,
00:01:21.820
because the Conservative leader now, Polyev, does not put up with that garbage, they think that this is, like, insane.
00:01:33.860
They act as if he is both oppressing the media people because he doesn't give them their birthright of answering every stupid question they have.
00:01:41.680
At the same time, he is running away from the media while he stands there and confronts them about the dishonest things that they're asking him.
00:01:48.740
I want to show you a clip right now that somebody on the left themselves posted to X, thinking that this made Polyev look bad.
00:01:58.600
This is what I've said before about the Liberals, Liberal Party, and the NDP's social media.
00:02:04.800
If you read their social media and follow it, watch their videos, you will like the Conservatives more,
00:02:10.880
because they're so out of touch with what Canadians want.
00:02:13.160
So they go after the Conservatives because they might cut stuff in government.
00:02:19.540
Yes, nobody thinks that we need to be spending the amount of money that we're spending,
00:02:26.820
I think they went from, in 2017, like 230,000 public employees, provincial government employees,
00:02:32.500
all the way up to today, like 410,000 or 430,000 employees,
00:02:37.100
and nobody's noticed a service quality increase.
00:02:40.100
But here's this person, a PEI political discussion, saying,
00:02:44.720
Polyev in Media Scrum, unwilling to answer any questions, answers questions with questions,
00:02:53.060
Voting for him will provide Canadians with no answers.
00:02:56.440
I think he meant to say that arrogant to reporters.
00:02:59.160
And this entire little thing that you're about to see is over the Conservatives several months
00:03:05.280
ago voting against a free trade agreement with Ukraine, which made no sense because we
00:03:11.000
already have a free trade agreement with Ukraine, that basically just acted as a way for the
00:03:15.460
Liberals to just throw in the word carbon tax to try and trick either the Conservatives to
00:03:19.440
vote in favor of it, or look like somehow they hate Ukraine by voting against it.
00:03:23.540
And here's Polyev rightfully reframing or going after the journalists for their terrible framing
00:03:30.380
of this question, and they all start getting, they start falling into an absolute tizzy because
00:03:35.700
he's like, well, why are you asking us questions?
00:03:40.780
The carbon tax was inserted by Justin Trudeau, not by my supporters.
00:03:50.060
Can you explain to me why there is a carbon tax in the agreement?
00:04:03.540
You don't know about why you're asking the question.
00:04:08.900
Like, doofus, you actually need to know what the question you're asking actually means.
00:04:14.460
When you go after Polyev for voting against it, for his previously stated reason that he
00:04:19.260
was voting against the carbon tax element of it, randomly pushing a carbon tax on the
00:04:24.020
trade of an ally, that you should at least know why the liberals did that so you can actually
00:04:33.500
They're just saying, why did you vote against this?
00:04:37.540
And then Polyev's like, why were these elements in the bill?
00:04:43.360
I have the freedom to ask questions if I want to.
00:04:54.320
Because you don't want to talk about Trudeau's carbon tax.
00:05:00.200
Actually, in a democracy, or like in Canada, you're actually allowed to ask questions whether you're
00:05:06.960
a journalist, not a journalist, you're a politician, or whatever.
00:05:09.640
However, I actually, before I get back to this stuff, I actually had this one moment when
00:05:13.740
I was running for the Conservative Party nomination in the riding of Calgary Signal Hill.
00:05:17.840
Likely would have won, but somebody had me kicked out three weeks before the vote because
00:05:21.780
they didn't like that their boy didn't have enough votes to win, even though he was effectively
00:05:26.000
getting as much institutional support as humanly possible.
00:05:29.160
But I had this one guy on the phone where I was like selling memberships.
00:05:32.620
And when he kept rambling on and on, and I'm like in a deadline to sell memberships within
00:05:37.320
like the next five hours, because like we had a very fast cutoff date coming down.
00:05:41.100
And he was just like, when I started pushing back on what he was saying, he's like, hey,
00:05:45.240
you're a politician, you're supposed to listen to me.
00:05:50.600
If you keep rambling and not letting me interject information, that makes the question that
00:05:55.640
you're asking me irrelevant or the thing that you're going on about.
00:05:59.380
He was going on about how like pure polio is pro-WEF.
00:06:02.440
And I kept pointing out how he's like, obviously not, you know, he's banned or he says he's
00:06:06.920
banning cabinet ministers from traveling to Davos or any senior level conservatives.
00:06:11.320
Probably that means any conservative MP who tried to go would probably be never allowed
00:06:17.360
But yeah, like people, I always hate this idea.
00:06:28.640
And the answer, and the answer is this, we will ax the tax and Trudeau can try to divide
00:06:35.420
Canadians by putting a carbon tax and a free trade agreement that we already had for years.
00:06:43.020
It's misleading because I will ax the tax and I will ax.
00:06:51.840
Are you a journalist who's just supposed to be writing down my answers and reporting it?
00:06:55.200
You ask a question, you write my answer, and then you report what I said because you can't
00:07:02.140
Then why can't you answer why the carbon tax is in it, even though apparently you know that
00:07:06.880
it's misleading for Polyev to point out that Canada already has a free trade agreement with
00:07:12.900
By the way, we really don't trade that much with Ukraine.
00:07:16.040
And it was kind of a silly, like, like show of force vote from the liberals to put up this
00:07:21.420
free trade agreement with Ukraine, baking in things like a carbon tax into it.
00:07:24.780
And then trying to force the conservatives to vote against it.
00:07:27.760
But he's here being like, oh, Mr. Polyev, what you're saying is misleading, misleading.
00:07:34.040
Well, you know, apparently you're a political expert.
00:07:36.000
So why can't you answer any of the questions that Polyev is asking you?
00:07:42.240
The tax with delight and with passion and with incredible speed.
00:07:48.260
So when I'm prime minister, you will be shocked at the speed with which I will axe the tax.
00:07:54.260
And the Canadian people will be able to look up at the gas stations and see the prices coming
00:08:00.480
And Trudeau can try to distract from his hated carbon tax by putting it in a free trade
00:08:20.880
Who could guess why trust in the legacy media in Canada keeps going down every year?
00:08:26.540
This isn't like journalists trying to hold a politician's feet to the fire.
00:08:29.780
I understand that because they would never do this type of questioning to Justin Trudeau,
00:08:35.180
They would ask him very, like, very, like, general, broad questions that Trudeau can take
00:08:43.500
They're never going to be there acting like smarmy doofuses, being like, misleading, misleading.
00:08:51.300
We ask the questions, Mr. Poliev, even though they don't know at all what their questions
00:08:57.460
Well, before I end this video, I want to tell a little bit of a story, but I should, at the
00:09:02.500
nine-minute mark, remind people, you know, like, share, subscribe, you know, like this
00:09:07.720

00:09:11.820
And you can donate to the legal fund that we have in the description below and pinned
00:09:15.740
at the top of the comments, the Give, Send, Go link for the TNT legal fund.
00:09:19.820
But I had this happen the other day because I'm doing a lot of door knocking for the BC
00:09:24.220
Conservative Party, jumping around to ridings, I think, need help.
00:09:27.380
And every once in a while, as a door knocker, you've got to push back on somebody at the door.
00:09:31.720
Yes, you're at their house, but when someone opens the door and they're just openly being
00:09:36.220
rude to you, they're acting, like, very arrogant while having no clue what they're talking about.
00:09:41.200
And the other day, when I was in Port Moody, Burquitlam, I had this random guy when he opened
00:09:47.560
the door, and I'm always very nice, smile, hey, how are you doing today, blah, blah.
00:09:51.380
And if people don't want to talk, I'm like, fair enough, have a good one, you leave.
00:09:54.840
He was just immediately like, oh, I could never vote Conservative, your leader is, like,
00:10:00.220
And I said, what, oh, what did our leader do that made you hate him?
00:10:04.260
Well, I don't have to answer your questions, blah, blah, blah.
00:10:07.480
I'm like, yeah, you can choose to close the door right now.
00:10:11.180
I was asking you, as somebody who hates somebody, why you hate them?
00:10:15.800
And it just turned into, well, are you going to pay me for my information?
00:10:20.480
And I'm like, no, you're a man, and you're allowed to ask, like, choose to answer my
00:10:32.600
Which seems to be a pretty rude thing to do, to just hate somebody and not even have a
00:10:39.360
But every once in a while, you get this, where at the doors, somebody will open the
00:10:43.220
door, and, like, visually, you can tell they're left wing.
00:10:46.580
And I'm not, like, meaning this in the kind of, like, oh, it's a purple-haired whatever
00:10:52.540
I just mean, like, in their eyes, they just immediately are unpleasant and, like, conservative.
00:10:59.060
And you always get, like, the woman who's, like, windmill arming in front of you, and
00:11:05.840
I'm like, I know that there are definitely more conservative people who can be rude to door
00:11:12.640
It doesn't matter how much you hate their party.
00:11:21.740
But I've noticed this pattern with very lefty progressive people being, like, actually distressed
00:11:28.200
by the presence of a conservative talking to them.
00:11:31.620
And, like, the thing is, the most, the vast majority still have people voting NDP or liberal
00:11:37.100
But there is, like, a certain type of very acute progressive that's not that uncommon to
00:11:41.820
come across who just cannot articulate what they believe.
00:11:45.640
They think that you're a bad person, but they refuse to be able to say it because to
00:11:49.040
actually explain it, they'd probably find out that they're the ones being irrational.
00:11:53.820
You know, it's very difficult to, it's very difficult to hate somebody when you actually
00:12:00.860
There are people, you know, worth hating, evil people on this planet worth hating, you
00:12:05.240
know, terrorists and whatnot that apparently much of the NDP and liberal base in Canada
00:12:10.680
But most of the time when it comes to a politician, it's very difficult to hate them, especially
00:12:16.120
an opposition leader who hasn't done anything yet.
00:12:22.060
Anyways, to wrap it up, yes, Polyev asks questions to the people questioning him, to
00:12:31.460
And the media and the left cannot handle it because they do not, they're not used to this
00:12:36.340
game of actually needing to be good at what they do, to actually needing to have good questions,
00:12:45.220
They've gotten so used to the conservatives just rolling up in a ball on the floor and
00:12:50.640
And because Polyev doesn't do that, oh my goodness, he's lacking decorum.
00:12:55.400
It's what I always hear from people like Andrew Coyne, who's a pathetic non-conservative.
00:13:00.140
Pathetic is the exact word I want to be using here.
00:13:03.440
Andrew Coyne thinks he's a conservative because he stands up for Canadian institutions.
00:13:09.220
When that really just means that if the left has taken over an institution and oriented it
00:13:13.940
towards woke policies and big government, well, then it's the conservative thing to stand
00:13:20.200
He really hates Polyev's guts because Polyev is actually a conservative.
00:13:25.360
Obviously, I can disagree with Polyev on this or that issue.
00:13:29.120
If you ever start to not disagree with someone on anything, you know, watch out.
00:13:36.220
We're all humans and we're going to disagree with people on something.
00:13:46.140
And because he's a real conservative, Andrew Coyne and other media conservatives do not
00:13:51.660
Not every conservative in the media, but a lot of like the legacy media, you're okay to
00:13:56.000
be on the CBC type conservatives, do not like him at all.
00:14:02.440
Again, if you guys want to donate to the TNT Legal Fund in the description below, pinned
00:14:07.320
at the top of the comments, you know, like this video, subscribe, share it with your friends,
00:14:12.680
I'm going to try and come back with more long form content since I'm still in Abbotsford.
00:14:17.200
And I literally, my set is a horrifyingly bad black couch.
00:14:20.820
And if you know anything about lighting, a black couch is the worst thing you could be
00:14:26.040
Like, it's good I'm not wearing like a black shirt or you just start blending into the
00:14:30.760
Like you can even tell as I move closer and farther away, the lighting like radically changes
00:14:35.360
because it does not know what to do with the sucking void of darkness.
00:14:39.380
And then I have like this curtain that's just holding back the light.
00:14:42.360
The good thing is there's not a lot of light on the back of the curtain.
00:14:44.700
You guys have watched other videos I've made with a lot of light on this thing.
00:14:47.560
And it just starts like, it starts like absolutely like blowing out the color in the room because
00:14:54.620
And I can't open the blinds because there's like, there's like just like random stuff out
00:14:59.160
As you can see, there's just like, you know, tractor trailers and whatnot.
00:15:03.320
Like, you know, like I'm in the backwoods or whatever.
00:15:08.900
Oh, you know, but once I'm back in Calgary, oh my goodness.
00:15:16.740
Once I'm back in Calgary, I will actually have a full set and I will start trying to
00:15:22.860
Someone suggested I should do whiteboard videos where I actually pull out a whiteboard and
00:15:26.520
start going over like, you know, statistics and polling.
00:15:31.560
I'm going to try and do more heavily edited content.
00:15:33.420
I might even create new channels where I can put videos that aren't really Canadian based
00:15:39.360
A lot of suggestions out there always just stuff in the comments.
00:15:42.280
I do take them to heart and read them and try and find good ideas here and there.
00:15:46.160
Even if you say something, I don't do what you say.
00:15:48.580
I might've taken an element of it because it was at least a good concept, but just not
