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.

00:00:00.000 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.
00:01:12.800 Polyev does not do that.
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, 0.94
00:01:21.820 because the Conservative leader now, Polyev, does not put up with that garbage, they think that this is, like, insane. 0.97
00:01:29.320 How could he do this? 0.99
00:01:30.460 They are beside themselves apoplectic. 1.00
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. 0.99
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. 0.87
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.
00:02:17.280 Good.
00:02:18.820 Good.
00:02:19.540 Yes, nobody thinks that we need to be spending the amount of money that we're spending,
00:02:22.820 and nobody can see the value in it.
00:02:25.000 It's like in British Columbia right now.
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, 0.92
00:02:50.880 rude, ignorant to reporters. 0.95
00:02:53.060 Voting for him will provide Canadians with no answers. 1.00
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?
00:03:38.740 We're in the media.
00:03:40.780 The carbon tax was inserted by Justin Trudeau, not by my supporters.
00:03:46.760 Why did he do that?
00:03:49.080 I'm just curious.
00:03:50.060 Can you explain to me why there is a carbon tax in the agreement?
00:03:52.520 The question is why...
00:03:53.720 No, no, I asked you a question.
00:03:55.000 You keep asking us the question.
00:03:56.360 We're the journalists.
00:03:57.560 This is a democracy.
00:03:58.640 We ask the...
00:03:59.180 We're the journalists.
00:04:00.480 This is a democracy.
00:04:01.520 We answer the questions, bub.
00:04:03.540 You don't know about why you're asking the question.
00:04:07.140 That's the problem.
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
00:04:29.960 ask a substantive question to Polyev.
00:04:33.500 They're just saying, why did you vote against this?
00:04:35.300 And are you anti-Ukraine?
00:04:37.540 And then Polyev's like, why were these elements in the bill?
00:04:39.980 And they're like, we don't know.
00:04:40.840 We're not supposed to know any of this stuff.
00:04:43.360 I have the freedom to ask questions if I want to.
00:04:45.900 And I've just answered...
00:04:47.000 I've been answering your questions all week.
00:04:48.280 Oh, and here's another one.
00:04:48.760 So, no, no.
00:04:49.260 The government's introducing...
00:04:49.940 Why would you have a carbon tax credit?
00:04:51.380 No, you're not changing the subject.
00:04:52.820 I know you want to change the subject.
00:04:53.740 No, I want to ask a question.
00:04:54.320 Because you don't want to talk about Trudeau's carbon tax.
00:04:56.620 I want to ask a question.
00:04:57.620 Because in a democracy...
00:04:58.540 We ask the question.
00:04:59.560 In the UN.
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.
00:05:47.220 I'm like, no, I don't.
00:05:48.380 I'm a human being.
00:05:49.460 I'm allowed to hang up the phone.
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
00:06:16.080 in cabinet again.
00:06:17.360 But yeah, like people, I always hate this idea.
00:06:19.640 Like we ask questions.
00:06:20.660 It's your job to listen.
00:06:22.120 You, you only answer questions.
00:06:23.720 We ask questions.
00:06:24.460 That's not how it works, dude.
00:06:26.740 I decide the answer I get.
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.
00:06:41.560 It won't change a thing.
00:06:43.020 It's misleading because I will ax the tax and I will ax.
00:06:46.740 What a dweeby little thing that guy said.
00:06:49.320 Oh, misleading, misleading.
00:06:51.440 Sorry.
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
00:07:00.240 just, well, that's misleading.
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
00:07:11.980 Ukraine.
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?
00:07:39.280 Well, it's not my job to shut up.
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
00:07:59.540 down.
00:08:00.480 And Trudeau can try to distract from his hated carbon tax by putting it in a free trade
00:08:05.140 amendment to a pre-existing agreement.
00:08:08.360 It won't stop me because I will axe the tax.
00:08:10.960 I will axe the tax and I will axe the tax.
00:08:14.420 But not on industrial emission pricing system. 1.00
00:08:18.940 They're just so pathetic. 0.93
00:08:20.880 Who could guess why trust in the legacy media in Canada keeps going down every year? 0.99
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,
00:08:33.960 even in the midst of a scandal.
00:08:35.180 They would ask him very, like, very, like, general, broad questions that Trudeau can take
00:08:40.540 in any direction he wants.
00:08:42.220 And then they'll never be a fault.
00:08:43.500 They're never going to be there acting like smarmy doofuses, being like, misleading, misleading.
00:08:48.600 Oh, we answer, we ask the questions, bub.
00:08:51.300 We ask the questions, Mr. Poliev, even though they don't know at all what their questions
00:08:55.880 even mean.
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 video, subscribe to the channel if you've liked this content and you're not already subscribed.
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,
00:09:58.260 a horrible person, or I hate your leader.
00:10:00.220 And I said, what, oh, what did our leader do that made you hate him? 0.53
00:10:04.260 Well, I don't have to answer your questions, blah, blah, blah.
00:10:06.440 I can choose not to answer.
00:10:07.480 I'm like, yeah, you can choose to close the door right now.
00:10:09.860 I'm perfectly fine with that.
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?
00:10:19.120 Are you going to pay me for my question?
00:10:20.480 And I'm like, no, you're a man, and you're allowed to ask, like, choose to answer my
00:10:26.120 question or not.
00:10:27.380 I am not holding you hostage.
00:10:29.180 I am just asking you a question.
00:10:31.340 Why do you hate somebody?
00:10:32.600 Which seems to be a pretty rude thing to do, to just hate somebody and not even have a
00:10:36.900 good reason to hate that person.
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
00:10:50.720 person, you know, like, college student.
00:10:52.540 I just mean, like, in their eyes, they just immediately are unpleasant and, like, conservative.
00:10:57.040 I would never vote that way.
00:10:58.660 Blah, blah, blah.
00:10:59.060 And you always get, like, the woman who's, like, windmill arming in front of you, and
00:11:02.700 you're like, no, no.
00:11:04.500 And then they, like, close the door.
00:11:05.840 I'm like, I know that there are definitely more conservative people who can be rude to door
00:11:10.620 knockers.
00:11:11.240 Never be rude to a door knocker.
00:11:12.640 It doesn't matter how much you hate their party.
00:11:14.120 They either are, like, just volunteers.
00:11:17.200 They genuinely believe it.
00:11:18.300 Maybe they're confused.
00:11:19.200 Just be nice to them.
00:11:20.200 It's way better in the long run.
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
00:11:35.560 or green.
00:11:36.180 They're not like that.
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
00:11:59.980 have to explain it.
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
00:12:09.760 likes.
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.
00:12:19.100 But, I don't know.
00:12:20.640 That's just what some people are like.
00:12:22.060 Anyways, to wrap it up, yes, Polyev asks questions to the people questioning him, to
00:12:30.280 the journalists.
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,
00:12:42.080 to having good attack lines.
00:12:44.240 They don't have any.
00:12:45.220 They've gotten so used to the conservatives just rolling up in a ball on the floor and 0.76
00:12:48.980 allowing themselves to be kicked to death.
00:12:50.640 And because Polyev doesn't do that, oh my goodness, he's lacking decorum. 0.99
00:12:55.400 It's what I always hear from people like Andrew Coyne, who's a pathetic non-conservative. 0.99
00:13:00.140 Pathetic is the exact word I want to be using here. 0.99
00:13:03.440 Andrew Coyne thinks he's a conservative because he stands up for Canadian institutions. 0.85
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
00:13:19.080 up to protect that.
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.
00:13:33.800 I don't think you're engaging your full brain.
00:13:36.220 We're all humans and we're going to disagree with people on something.
00:13:38.880 Not that people do that.
00:13:40.260 But like Polyev is an actual conservative.
00:13:43.120 Maybe I wouldn't agree with him on everything.
00:13:44.600 But he is a real conservative.
00:13:46.140 And because he's a real conservative, Andrew Coyne and other media conservatives do not
00:13:51.120 like him.
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.
00:14:00.460 Anyways, that should be it for me today.
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,
00:14:11.660 mention it to people.
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
00:14:25.460 on.
00:14:26.040 Like, it's good I'm not wearing like a black shirt or you just start blending into the
00:14:29.520 background and the camera.
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
00:14:52.620 it will just start getting really emphasized.
00:14:54.620 And I can't open the blinds because there's like, there's like just like random stuff out
00:14:58.900 there.
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.
00:15:06.840 And this is somebody's like workhouse.
00:15:08.900 Oh, you know, but once I'm back in Calgary, oh my goodness.
00:15:13.420 Oh my goodness.
00:15:14.460 Oh my goodness.
00:15:15.640 Come on.
00:15:16.060 Stop folding up.
00:15:16.740 Once I'm back in Calgary, I will actually have a full set and I will start trying to
00:15:22.100 do more videos.
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.
00:15:30.240 That sounds like a fun idea.
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
00:15:38.040 on them as well.
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
00:15:52.600 the specific thing that you said.
00:15:54.680 So anyways, see you guys later.
00:15:56.380 I've rambled enough.
00:15:57.280 I'm going to see you guys later.
00:16:02.340 Hey.
