The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Liberal Media protects Carney - Smears Poilievre as ＂MAGA＂

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

00:00:06.480 I love doing media critique on this channel, not only because I love making fun of the legacy media,

00:00:13.740 but because if I can even convince just a couple people to stop taking the legacy media seriously,

00:00:20.460 I have done my job well. In this video, I want to talk about the media's new narrative campaign

00:00:27.300 against Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev after Mark Carney got his majority government.

00:00:33.580 You would think that after Carney got his majority, the media would say,

00:00:37.900 hey, they now have a majority government. Not only were they the government before, but now they have a majority.

00:00:44.640 We should be focusing our criticism on them because they are the ones with all the power in the system right now.

00:00:50.220 No, no, no, no, no. The legacy media are instead propagandizing against Pierre Polyev because they hate his guts. They love to paint him as unpopular, as some mega right-wing wild man, and it's all nonsense.

00:01:07.100 And there is actually negative consequences that come from this, not only through directly smearing Polyev and making Canadians artificially not like him by believing the propaganda, but also by getting Polyev and his team to think that the media might be right and adjusting his strategy in line with the delusional things that the media say.

00:01:28.240 I find sometimes the Conservative Party takes in the media criticism and then thinks, okay, we have to moderate.

00:01:35.780 We need to make sure our tone's more professional. We need to not be so fighty.

00:01:40.880 And that's the wrong thing to do. The Conservative Party needs to be bolder.

00:01:45.620 If anything, if it moved to the right, ran on a bolder platform, and Polyev became more willing to clash with the media, he would be doing better right now.

00:01:56.360 But in just a second, I want to take you guys through some of these really ridiculous media stories, as well as the analysis on programs like CBC Power and Politics.

00:02:06.460 But before I do that, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, make sure to leave a like on the video.

00:02:28.380 But anyways, now let's get into the first headline I want to talk about.

00:02:33.380 We're not going to talk about the actual article because it doesn't matter.

00:02:36.600 And I'm not buying a subscription to read a terrible Toronto Star article.

00:02:40.440 The headline is all we need here.

00:02:42.720 As you can see, the headline to this Toronto Star article is opinion.

00:02:47.140 This isn't just a carny majority.

00:02:49.260 It's a national unity government.

00:02:52.200 Now, someone could hide behind the fact that, well, it's an opinion article.

00:02:56.680 They're allowed to say things that you disagree with.

00:02:59.900 Okay, there's an difference between things I disagree with and things that are flat out wrong.

00:03:05.020 You can't have the opinion that this is a national unity government.

00:03:09.220 They didn't get elected that way.

00:03:10.560 This, is it a national unity government in the hypothetical situation that every single MP just leaves their original parties and joins a completely new upstart party run by a guy that nobody elected?

00:03:24.540 Would that still be a national unity government?

00:03:26.940 I'm being hyperbolic, but I think we get my point here.

00:03:30.260 If it was a national unity government, they would have won 50, 60 percent of the seats in the last election.

00:03:36.820 They didn't. They had a minority. And then five MPs from the conservatives and the NDP crossed the floor and gave Carney a majority government.

00:03:47.320 And they didn't cross for principled reasons. It was all petty reasons or shallow reasons, or they just wanted money or something like that, and they wanted a higher position.

00:03:56.720 This is not because Carney's just doing such a great job that people end up joining him. The reason people crossed the floor had nothing to do with that.

00:04:05.860 But that was a mild example that I just went over there. Now I want to take you to this truly maddening article from CTV News that basically pretends like Polyev somehow got embarrassed in the three by-elections. He didn't, and I'll explain in just a second here.

00:04:23.940 So the article title here reads, Polyev says he's not going anywhere following double-digit by-election defeats.

00:04:32.380 Now, we all know what this headline is trying to do.

00:04:36.060 It's trying to imply that Polyev is somehow being arrogant or delusional to think that he's going nowhere after double-digit by-election defeats.

00:04:46.100 Guys, the by-elections happened in University Rosedale, Scarborough Southwest, and Terrebonne. These ridings haven't been won by a conservative since, like, B.C. times. It's been decades since the conservatives won these ridings, if they've ever won it at all.

00:05:07.100 But even then, it doesn't matter even if they used to win it.

00:05:11.560 They don't win it these days.

00:05:12.980 It's not a loss for the Conservative Party.

00:05:15.260 They are not competitive.

00:05:16.840 Two of those ridings in the GTA are default liberal safe ridings.

00:05:21.980 Terrebonne is a riding that the liberals and the Bloc Québécois fight over.

00:05:26.700 But let's go through this article and see how they cover this.

00:05:30.540 So this article reads right here.

00:05:33.180 Despite being dealt double-digit defeats in the three federal by-elections that handed Prime Minister Mark Carney his majority,

00:05:39.740 Conservative leader Pierre Polyev says he has no plans to resign.

00:05:43.000 Now, already we have a lie.

00:05:44.780 The three federal by-elections that handed Prime Minister Carney his majority, it's a lie by omission.

00:05:51.180 They already had those ridings.

00:05:53.280 All three of the ridings were liberal ridings before the by-elections, and they're three liberal ridings after the by-elections.

00:06:00.100 These are not swing ridings.

00:06:01.300 Two of them are safe Liberal ridings, and one's a swing riding only between the Liberals and the Bloc Quebecois.

00:06:07.860 There has been no failure here. It was the result everybody expected.

00:06:13.960 And then it goes on to say, quote, Canadians might be discouraged right now because of the current political situation, but let us say this.

00:06:21.560 Canadians should not give up, unquote.

00:06:23.360 He said in the House of Commons on Tuesday, vowing to continue fighting for Canadians.

00:06:26.980 Obviously, that's quoting Pierre Polyev.

00:06:28.500 And then another Polyev quote here is, quote, and I will continue to lead that fight in this House across the country and in the next election, unquote.

00:06:37.840 Now the article goes on to read, the Conservatives' vote share shrunk by more than 10% in all three ridings compared to the 2025 federal election,

00:06:46.860 seeing Polyev's candidates in the downtown Toronto race drop to third place.

00:06:51.480 In closely watched Terrebonne, the conservatives slid from 18.2% of the vote in 2025 to 3.3%

00:06:59.960 in the by-election. Now, if you don't know politics well enough, you could look at those

00:07:05.640 and say, oh my goodness, that's such a big slide. You went from 18% to 3%. You basically had a 15%

00:07:12.200 reduction. It doesn't matter. It's a by-election. The only reason conservatives vote in these

00:07:19.020 ridings in the general, it was out of pure solidarity with the federal conservative party

00:07:24.060 running elsewhere. Everyone who votes in University Rosedale in a federal election where everyone is

00:07:31.560 running for re-election or running for election, they know their guy's not going to win. They're

00:07:35.540 showing up and voting conservative because they support polyev. In a by-election, there's no

00:07:39.880 reason to show up. You're not voting in solidarity with the people out there who are voting in the

00:07:44.540 closer ridings. You're not voting to stick it to Mark Carney. There's nothing to do. There's no

00:07:50.060 reason to show up. The Conservatives probably barely spent any money in those by-elections.

00:07:55.440 It doesn't matter. And in Terrebonne, the Conservative voters probably defected to either

00:08:00.520 the Bloc Québécois or the Liberals. And even though you would think they would go vote Bloc

00:08:04.460 Québécois to block the Liberals, you have to remember, in Quebec, there are going to be a lot

00:08:08.200 of people who hate the Separatists and people who hate the Liberals, meaning that the Conservatives

00:08:12.280 can split either way. In a lot of ways, the Bloc Epiqua are a more left-wing party than the

00:08:16.940 liberals, so people may have gone liberal to block the Bloc. But regardless, it doesn't really matter.

00:08:22.540 These three by-elections say approximately diddly squat about Pierre Polyev as a conservative party

00:08:28.640 leader, but this article goes on to basically imply that this is a major loss for Carney. Look,

00:08:35.200 they even made this fancy graphic. Oh wow, they went down 11% in Rosedale, 12% in Scarborough,

00:08:40.200 and nearly 15 in Terrebonne. Okay, these weren't winnable ridings. Do you know what was actually

00:08:47.480 embarrassing? Back in 2024, when the Trudeau liberals lost the Surrey Cloverdale riding in

00:08:56.200 a by-election to conservative candidate Tamara Jensen. Tamara Jensen had previously been the

00:09:04.080 MP for that riding, but then she and John Aldegg had been like trading it back and forth, the

00:09:09.200 liberal. John Aldegg then ran for the BCNDP in the provincial election and had resigned his seat.

00:09:14.760 And then Tamara Jensen was running against a different liberal in the 2024 by-election,

00:09:19.660 and she won it by 50 percentage points. Literally, she was at like 68% or 67%,

00:09:26.400 and the closest person in second was the liberal with 17%. That's embarrassing because it was

00:09:33.400 previously a liberal riding and they fell by like 25 points or something insane like that and but

00:09:40.680 that even then even in that riding you could kind of say everyone knew the writing was on the wall

00:09:44.600 the liberal wasn't going to win and so instead of the liberal losing by maybe eight points they lost

00:09:49.720 by 50 points because liberals knew that there was no point showing up now that's happening on steroids

00:09:56.280 in university rosedale scarborough southwest and terrebonne all the conservative voters know that

00:10:00.440 that the Conservative Party is not going to win. It's not even a general election, so why bother

00:10:04.900 showing up? There's no point, but the media is going to cover it as if this was somehow some big

00:10:10.220 turnout issue for the Conservatives, when by-election turnouts are always wonky like this.

00:10:15.940 But now I need to show you guys some more media clips. I find this next one just obnoxious. The

00:10:21.340 whole implication that the Conservative Party is too right-wing still, and they need to move to the

00:10:25.620 left. Guys, if anything, the Conservative Party had shifted too much to the center in the last

00:10:31.280 federal election, and they need to move to the right. Politics is 90% about getting your base

00:10:38.660 out. Never chase the middle, mushy voter, because they're not going to vote for you. There's no real 0.67

00:10:44.460 such thing as a moderate voter. Yes, there technically is. There is maybe like 5% of voters

00:10:50.460 total who want like this very moderate, doesn't really say or do anything type government that

00:10:56.420 just makes them feel good. They're not the type of voters who are ever going to vote conservative

00:11:00.560 because those are going to be the type of voters who have been propagandized in believing the

00:11:04.220 conservatives are just bad. The conservatives should tack to the right and increase their

00:11:09.100 turnout with demographics they already do well with. Because just because you do well with them

00:11:13.800 doesn't mean they are turning out as much as they could. You want to maybe move a little pro-life

00:11:18.980 if you're the conservatives, become very fiscally hawkish, become even harsher on crime. And these

00:11:24.100 demographics who move towards conservatives or already like them will now move even harder

00:11:29.660 towards the conservatives, or they will turn out at rates of like 85, 90% plus. If you go soft,

00:11:36.540 you can't be that shocked that some of these demos who may be overall like you,

00:11:41.380 they maybe have 70% turnout or 68% turnout rather than 85% turnout that would have flipped so many

00:11:47.960 ridings in the last federal election but according to robert fife here oh it's just a mega party with

00:11:52.920 no moderates left all these people the red tories for the most part except for michael chong have

00:11:57.680 been chased out of the conservative party and it's become more of a of a right-wing party with a lot

00:12:04.040 of mega people in it and what mega people define a mega person what does that look like in canada

00:12:11.180 you mean a conservative you mean a conservative who believes conservative things because

00:12:15.900 fundamentally, MAGA and Trump are just conservatives. You know, they are small

00:12:21.000 government people, social conservatives, cultural conservatives, people who want immigration cut

00:12:26.160 down on, you know, Trump's foreign policy is actually kind of hawkish, which would not normally

00:12:32.020 be very populist. He actually has very unpopulist foreign policy. I like his foreign policy. It's

00:12:37.540 not exactly like Tucker Carlson, or Candace Owens, or like, you know, some lefty type person

00:12:43.680 isolationism so what does he even talk about but he just the whole point of what robert fife is

00:12:48.760 trying to do is he's trying to throw those words out so if you're watching the cbc you know to keep

00:12:53.420 the blinders on to not care that the economy sucks to not care that the liberals are failing

00:12:58.400 on many different fronts you just need to know the conservatives are mega and you are not allowed

00:13:02.940 to vote for them because you are not allowed to like anything that is called mega that's a

00:13:08.000 challenge for the Conservatives now because, I mean, I can remember when Mr. Pauly had won

00:13:14.140 the leadership, Brian Maroney went over to Stornoway and he said, you know, look, Pierre,

00:13:19.340 you got to go and fish where the fish are. And the fish aren't all on the right wing.

00:13:23.560 They're in the centre. And this is what Mr. Carney has understood. And he's moved the party

00:13:29.400 to the centre where more people are comfortable with. No, he's got a big old Grand Bank trawler

00:13:34.200 running right down the middle of the Canadian spectrum.

00:13:36.840 But, you know, Bob, what are we?

00:13:38.740 Of course, we get a snarky, a snarky couple words in there

00:13:43.420 from David Cochran, the awful host of CBC Power and Politics.

00:13:47.880 I need to remind you guys of something.

00:13:49.680 How did Brian Mulroney's party do when they moved to the centre?

00:13:55.940 They, I remember, oh, they won all the votes, apparently.

00:13:58.980 Brian Mulroney won in 1988 because he was running against

00:14:02.340 a who-gives-a-crap liberal former prime minister. I forget what the guy's name was. It doesn't

00:14:08.300 matter. So let's go back. John Turner. Who gives a crap about John Turner? Guys, in 1993, the PC

00:14:14.980 party that Brian Mulroney once was the head of completely collapsed down to just two seats under

00:14:21.200 the tenure of Kim Campbell. And it's not exactly fully Kim Campbell's fault. It's Brian Mulroney's

00:14:26.860 fault. That's why he had to drop out as prime minister at one point. The party that tries to

00:14:32.940 represent everybody will eventually represent nobody. Nobody wanted the weepy in the middle 0.90

00:14:39.720 politics of the progressive conservatives. When the conservatives run to the right, they win.

00:14:45.880 Polyev is in theory more to the right, but in 2025, the policy started becoming flabby.

00:14:52.980 After Carney took away the carbon tax issue from Polyev, which really I don't think is

00:14:58.220 a big enough issue to run a federal election on, once Polyev didn't have that, I thought

00:15:02.220 he was kind of floundering a little bit in that last election.

00:15:05.040 There was no big tax cut he was running on.

00:15:06.740 He was running on a slightly bigger tax cut than Carney.

00:15:09.600 He was running on slightly bigger immigration cuts than Carney.

00:15:12.420 And that's the key word.

00:15:13.740 He was wanting to make slightly better changes than Carney was.

00:15:17.560 Now, if Polyev became prime minister, I think he'd be doing a much better job.

00:15:21.240 But there's a difference between the job I think he would do and what he was running as. What he was running as in the public's mind was not very exciting. And you've got to be exciting to win an election. You have to run a very bold plan that says, let's cut taxes 20% on all brackets, including corporate. Take a point off the GST. Let's defund, you know, let's basically defund abortion in Canada in terms of, yeah, maybe we're not banning it, but taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for it.

00:15:47.700 Now you have your pro-life voters coming out for you. 0.69

00:15:49.700 You run on some culturally conservative policies that basically say that we are not going to allow immigration from countries in large number that have basically adverse or completely opposite values to Canada. 0.76

00:16:02.960 We're going to cut immigration in general. 1.00

00:16:04.700 We're going to slash TFWs. 1.00

00:16:06.660 We're going to cut taxes on this.

00:16:08.860 We're going to increase criminal penalties on that.

00:16:11.180 If you run on something bold, you get people turning out.

00:16:14.360 But again, the media is only ever going to imply that the Conservative Party is two to the right and they should keep going to the left, even though that makes no sense with what is currently going on.

00:16:25.720 Here's a great clip from Andrew Scheer at a press conference where this journalist kind of asks him a slightly dishonest question about the statement he had previously made.

00:16:35.680 Because the Liberals are trying to change the makeup of the committees right now because they don't want the opposition parties being able to hold them accountable and be able to have people like Francois Philippe Champagne, the finance minister, come and have to testify about his conflict of interest with the auto trains.

00:16:50.660 And even though you usually let the committees keep their normal composition since after the election, since they got the majority, they're now going to break precedent and start throwing more liberals on the committees to block investigations.

00:17:04.800 And Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives pointed this out, and then the media person said, well, they're allowed to do it, aren't they? They're allowed to do it.

00:17:11.300 No curiosity about whether it's ethical, whether they are doing it for good reason or not. They're just allowed.

00:17:17.700 I quickly tried to pull up standing orders and find this for myself. Does it say that the makeup of committees has to be what it was based on the election, or is it not reflective of the standings in the House of Commons?

00:17:30.400 The overwhelmingly long precedence of how this House has operated for decades if not the entire time since 1867 has been that the composition of committees are arrived at through negotiations to reflect the results of the ballot box in a general election.

00:17:50.680 So we are in unprecedented territory.

00:17:52.460 Never before has a Prime Minister fundamentally tried to change the nature of the government that he was elected on from the people through these kinds of backroom deals.

00:17:59.560 So we are in unprecedented territory. And what we're saying today is let's uphold the tradition that the committee makeup is reflective of the results at the ballot box.

00:18:10.160 Let's we're calling on liberals not to stack the deck, resist the temptation to be just like other liberals where they try to use power to gain more control and have the ability to cover up.

00:18:21.340 So that's what we're calling on for. And what Andrew Scheer is trying to do here is effectively the media's job.

00:18:26.080 Again, since all of these floor crossings occurred and the liberals then secured a majority government, no curiosity to ask questions on what they were offering floor crossers, why Francois Philippe Champagne's not showing up to the committees.

00:18:38.980 He gets some questions about it, but the media never drill on him for the fact that he was covering up, that he had a massive conflict of interest with the Alto train project that he pushed $90 billion to.

00:18:49.280 his wife is the vice president of environment and apparently she only got that gig back in august 25

00:18:55.340 right before a couple months before he ended up pushing for 90 billion dollars to go to the

00:19:01.100 project which is actually probably going to balloon into 200 billion and he even pushed for

00:19:06.360 the alto train project to not be separated out from the budget to be voted on separately

00:19:10.680 he was he had basically multiple chances that he should have recused himself during and he didn't

00:19:17.120 do it because he cares more about getting money to his wife's company that she works for than

00:19:22.420 actually following normal ethical rules. But anyways, yeah, no curiosity on that, but let's

00:19:28.180 just keep attacking Pierre Pauliev or whatever. I need to now show you this clip of Michael Barrett

00:19:33.340 on CBC Power and Politics with David Cochran. I find this clip, the comments that David makes

00:19:40.200 later on are really gross, but I think Michael Barrett does a good job, but I want to get to

00:19:44.260 those David comments in a second. The leadership that Mr. Polyev demonstrated in the last election,

00:19:49.700 we've seen that it continues to, you know, find some resonance with even the Prime Minister. The

00:19:56.280 very first thing the Prime Minister did was adopt one of Mr. Polyev's signature commitments, and that

00:20:01.140 was to eliminate the carbon tax for Canadians. And so we've seen more of that, and I think that

00:20:06.360 you can expect more of that from us as well. Okay, no, fair point, right, to influence the agenda,

00:20:11.200 But I don't believe you ran in the last election and Mr. Polyev sought the leadership to be sort of a firm team for liberal policies, right?

00:20:17.460 You don't want to be a think tank for them.

00:20:19.500 A firm team or a think tank for liberal policies?

00:20:22.380 Oh, no, you didn't really run just to be a think tank.

00:20:24.940 I'm sorry, are you just breezing by the fact that he's right?

00:20:27.980 He is right that Polyev has been heavily influencing what Carney has been doing on certain policy fronts because the pressure did eventually get to the liberals and they had to adopt his policies.

00:20:37.800 The Liberals have also just slightly reduced the gas tax in line with what Polyev was pushing them to do and what they sounded like very reluctant to do in the first place.

00:20:46.860 But we always throw out these jabs that, you know, it doesn't really matter that Polyev's right about things.

00:20:51.180 You know, he's kind of a failure. He's kind of a loser.

00:20:54.340 He didn't get into this just to be the farm team for the Liberals.

00:20:57.440 You wanted to win power. You wanted to win control.

00:21:00.500 And here it is for national election losses.

00:21:03.080 I mean, clearly something needs to change.

00:21:04.720 the liberals got the message loud and clear last year that something needed to change and it did

00:21:09.360 and and they won they didn't actually change much of anything they made the guy who was the bad

00:21:15.160 economic advisor to trudeau the bad prime minister they swapped out a bad prime minister with his bad

00:21:21.320 economic advisor and it turns out that bad economic advisor is also a bad prime minister

00:21:26.620 but the thing is that the media is not curious about what actually what they should what the

00:21:32.060 conservatives should do to win. They're never going to actually give the conservative party

00:21:37.160 good advice. This is why I think the conservatives need to be very careful at how they consume media

00:21:42.740 and don't read too much into it. I'm sorry, what the liberals are telling the conservatives to do

00:21:48.740 is always to be more passive and to retreat more. I think that's how they are going to lose.

00:21:55.420 And this type of media narrative has even infected former independent journalists like

00:22:01.400 Rupa Supramania here, who says, nicknamed the George Clooney of finance, this rock star central

00:22:08.240 bank governor is now turning heads as prime minister writes, what is this? Christine Lagarde

00:22:15.940 on Mark Carney named two times, 2026 list of the world's most influential people. And then Rupa

00:22:22.520 herself here says, I usually find these lists meaningless, but it's hard to remember the last

00:22:26.760 time a Canadian political leader, PM or MP, made the cut. Rupa Sripamanya has become a shell of

00:22:33.900 herself. She hates Polyev and the Conservatives for such irrational reasons. She now just engages

00:22:39.500 in praise for Carney for getting left-wing media coverage. Wow, Mark Carney is getting praised from

00:22:46.740 the international left? Who could have guessed? And apparently this means Polyev's a loser because

00:22:51.880 She keeps attacking Polyev that because Carney is doing well in the polls, this means that Polyev is somehow bad.

00:22:59.760 He should be replaced, all this other stuff.

00:23:03.080 Mario Zalaya had a good response to this, and he said,

00:23:06.080 Rupa, Rupa, Rupa.

00:23:07.780 One, Trudeau, the dumbest PM in history, was on the list.

00:23:10.860 This list is meaningless.

00:23:12.820 Two, you have the World Economic Forum Board of Trustees basically praising their own member.

00:23:18.000 Christine Lagarde is a WF trustee, the European Central Bank president, and next in line to run

00:23:23.040 the WEF. Of course, she's going to write a glowing timepiece on Mark Carney, who is also a WEF trustee.

00:23:29.100 It's the Davos crowd looking out for one another. Embarrassing. And I think Rupa knows this. She just

00:23:35.200 simply is becoming a propagandist for the Liberal Party. It doesn't matter what happens. It's

00:23:41.860 Polyev's fault, and it means good things for Mark Carney. I've called her out for other things that 1.00

00:23:45.980 she's been doing that were completely dishonest. But I think I've talked about that previously,

00:23:49.940 and we don't really have time for that today. But if I could give some advice to Polyev and

00:23:55.120 the conservatives, do not listen to the media. You actually need to move right on policy. And I

00:24:00.400 don't mean that in the sense that you have to become like, you know, like hyper right wing and

00:24:06.440 just be obstinate and aggressive. I'm not an aggressive person. But what you need to do is

00:24:11.560 you need to have more bold policy plans if you want to win or else Mark Carney is going to keep

00:24:18.360 defining what the next election is about and he'll make it about Trump again. Polyev needs to run on 0.74

00:24:22.800 such a bold policy agenda that it forces the election to be about his ideas and not whatever

00:24:28.140 Mark Carney wants it to be about. Also, this is really random for me to bring up, Polyev needs to

00:24:34.760 add color back to his outfits. I think he's playing it so safe these days or at least his team is

00:24:39.320 advising him to play it so safe that I've noticed that he only pretty much wears like dark navy suits

00:24:44.300 with a dark navy tie. He has his hair kind of overly slicked back a little bit, too much product

00:24:49.880 in it. And it kind of gives us this impression of a stiff, unbending, overly critical, overly

00:24:58.200 serious individual. Like, Polyev should steal my outfits. I will let him raid my closet. I will take

00:25:04.560 him to where I buy my stuff because I think he needs a little color because the media is trying

00:25:08.380 to buttonhole him as like this dark, serious, overly critical type figure. If anything,

00:25:16.760 Polyev has been kind of moving in the wrong direction in different ways. Outfits, be more

00:25:21.140 like this, more color, more energy. At the same time, don't listen to the media when they tell

00:25:26.220 you that you need to fish in the center of the pond. There aren't voters there. If you go and

00:25:31.620 fish in the center, you're going to lose people on your right the way that Aaron O'Toole did.

00:25:35.880 Polly have lost in 2025, not because Carney was brilliant, but because the Conservative Party

00:25:40.480 failed to define what the ballot box question was, and they let Carney choose. Carney chose

00:25:46.120 that the ballot box question is elbows up or not. Do you want to stand up to Trump or not?

00:25:50.800 Is that a stupid question? Is that politically illiterate? Sure, but he got to make that the

00:25:55.820 ballot box question, and he won, not by a wide margin, but he still won. If Polly have made 0.99

00:26:02.200 the election about, is Canada going to massively reduce taxes, massively reduce regulations, 0.93

00:26:08.500 and compete with the United States as an ally? He could have won. But I think that

00:26:14.300 Poliev made it about playing catch up with Carney and trying to prove that he also opposes tariffs.

00:26:20.380 Oh, I also do this. Oh, I'm also going to cut taxes a little bit. It's like, ugh, cut taxes a lot,

00:26:26.260 deregulate a lot slash spending on stupid garbage run against the crazy foreign aid 0.56

00:26:33.000 run against the insane maid policies and insane anti-life policies of the liberals 0.60

00:26:38.460 run against drugs run against all this stuff and you can win if you run on mild policies

00:26:44.480 you can't be shocked when your turnout is mild as well anyways with that all being said thank

00:26:49.820 you guys for watching make sure to like share subscribe i had to re-record this video for a

00:26:54.260 second time. It was very annoying. I was at my hotel, and the hotel Wi-Fi was so bad that when

00:26:59.100 I was watching the video on review, it was just fuzzy video the entire time, and my audio and my

00:27:05.360 video was disconnected from each other. Hotels need to learn how to reset their Wi-Fi routers

00:27:10.080 because it ruins videos. It ruins your ability to use the Wi-Fi, but now I'm just whining.

00:27:14.560 Anyways, like, share, subscribe, consider becoming a channel member, and I'll see you guys all next time.
