Sean Frazier, our current housing minister and failed former immigration minister, posted a clip to his own ex-account of himself having a petty tiff with Conservative MPs about housing in Indigenous communities. It makes him look very whiny and petty.

We are at that very special point in the death spiral of Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party where
00:00:05.620
you don't even need to go on social media anymore to a conservative account or conservative activist
00:00:10.820
account to find funny videos of Liberal MPs embarrassing themselves. You can just go to
00:00:16.420
the Liberal MPs' own accounts, find the clips that they edited, and make fun of them with those
00:00:22.080
things. They don't have anything to actually market themselves to Canadians with, and so they
00:00:27.020
just post clips of them having these really petty tiffs with conservative MPs that they started
00:00:32.880
because they don't want to answer any questions, and they're going to pretend to be all high and
00:00:37.960
mighty and superior to these conservative MPs trying to do their jobs. But this is a clip that
00:00:43.340
Sean Frazier, our current housing minister and failed former immigration minister, posted to his own
00:00:49.320
ex-account, and I do not think that this makes him look very good. It just makes him look very whiny
00:00:55.760
and petty. This is a study about the housing needs of Indigenous communities across this country.
00:01:00.580
It has been a few minutes, and the Conservatives are now resorting to reading questions off their
00:01:04.400
phone, off topic, because they feel like they can't have a serious conversation about this issue.
00:01:10.540
Let's be very clear. The context of the questions they're asking were housing. He has not answered
00:01:17.340
any questions, any serious questions, about the failed housing program the Liberals have been running,
00:01:22.700
and now he wants to come into this meeting where they're talking specifically about housing in
00:01:26.840
Indigenous communities. And when the Conservatives rightfully want to ask the questions that he has
00:01:32.340
not been answering over the past several months, he wants to get all smug and superior and get into
00:01:37.060
this petty tiff where, like, oh, well, it's been a few minutes, and now they don't want to talk about
00:01:41.040
Indigenous housing. I guess they don't care about Indigenous people or something. No, you're bad at your job,
00:01:46.460
and they need to find any opportunity they can get in order to ask the serious questions that you keep
00:01:51.960
dodging, but he wants to pretend like, oh, look at the Conservatives reading things off their phones.
00:01:56.880
You're bad at your job. How about you shut up and answer some questions, rather than pretending like
00:02:01.920
you're getting one over on the Conservatives by pointing out that they're using a tactic.
00:02:05.760
This happens in politics a lot, where people think it's a great little comms win to point out that
00:02:12.160
your opponent's doing something. But the Conservatives are doing the right thing. They're
00:02:16.500
trying to hold your feet to the fire for being a terrible housing minister, and then you're going
00:02:21.300
to try and look at the technicality that will technically, we're here to talk about Indigenous
00:02:25.180
housing, and you guys want to ask me off-topic questions from your phone. Who cares? They are in
00:02:31.660
the housing committee asking you questions about housing, and you're dodging, and you just uploaded
00:02:37.720
a two-and-a-half-minute clip onto your own social media account of you dodging.
00:02:42.160
There was years where you had the opportunity to make the investments and chose not to.
00:02:47.480
Mr. Chair, I'm being spoken over. Every time I make this argument, he talks over me.
00:02:50.980
If he's not going to answer the question, I'm not going to let him take my time, Chair.
00:02:55.140
Thank you. Mr. Chair, with respect to my friend and colleague, he had many years as his party
00:03:01.120
in an office to make investments or not make investments.
00:03:04.320
Housing was cheaper. Housing was cheaper under Harper. What is Sean Frazier possibly talking about?
00:03:09.700
The idea that we're making the investments that conservatives wouldn't make. I hate it when
00:03:14.060
politicians say, well, we put the money in and they didn't. You only have to put the money in now
00:03:19.120
because you've broken people so much that they can't afford it themselves. This is basically the
00:03:24.260
metric that communists work off of to pretend that their ideology is more compassionate than
00:03:29.840
capitalism, even though in their governments, they run around shooting people in the back of the
00:03:34.940
head for disagreeing with them. But it's because they spend more money on the people.
00:03:39.740
Yet, capitalists, they aren't spending money on any poor people. That's because people aren't
00:03:43.700
poor in capitalism. But as the liberals move away from capitalism during their entire tenure in
00:03:48.960
government, we, turns out, need to assist people more with government benefits, housing benefits,
00:03:54.280
and investments in these communities because people don't have their own money anymore because
00:03:58.520
the liberals have taxed it away, regulated it away, or found some other scheme that made it so that
00:04:03.760
our economy has shriveled up under Trudeau's leadership. I just want to get this back on
00:04:10.160
screen. I'll let Sean Frazier finish just to be respectful here.
00:04:15.100
This housing, they chose not to. Now he has an opportunity to ask questions about it, and instead
00:04:20.060
he's looking at his phone to ask questions he's reading from the leader's office rather than actually
00:04:24.860
engaging on the issue of housing in indigenous communities. It's inappropriate. He says we have
00:04:30.100
no plan. And again, he's talking over, he's very uncomfortable with this argument.
00:04:33.840
Oh my goodness. It's so, it's so cheesy. He just needs a handlebar,
00:04:38.080
Russ Jeffs, to make this even cheesier. He's uncomfortable by the topic because he doesn't
00:04:42.940
want to talk about it. No, you don't answer questions. That's why he's asking you. And the idea
00:04:48.800
that he's like trying to, he's trying to have this weird, like, I don't even know what to call it,
00:04:53.020
like, goodwill hunting moment. He's trying to have this kind of, like, smug, superior type moment
00:04:59.000
where he's going to show that actually I'm the serious adult and it's all these partisan hacks
00:05:03.220
in the room who won't let me have my time to make a statement in favor of indigenous housing.
00:05:08.660
Indigenous people are poorer since Justin Trudeau took office. So I don't know what Sean Frazier's
00:05:12.700
trying to, like, brag about. As immigration minister, he was warned by his own deputy minister
00:05:17.740
that the crazy high mass immigration rate was hurting Canadian workers, was making it impossible
00:05:23.280
to own a home, and he did it anyways. But now he's here to tell the conservatives that,
00:05:27.940
did you know that we're actually, we're talking about indigenous housing in this committee,
00:05:31.660
if you haven't noticed. Like, Sean, shut up. You're like a more boring version of Justin Trudeau.
00:05:38.400
This acting, this play acting is not working at all.
00:05:42.060
Well, he says we have no plan. Mr. Chair, do I have the floor? I want to reclaim my time.
00:05:46.900
Mr. Chair, do I have the floor? Do I have the floor? This is not answering my question. He doesn't
00:05:51.660
get to run the fuck out. Mr. Chair, sorry, there's been no point of order. Do I have the floor?
00:05:55.500
You do have the floor. Thank you. I have respected my colleague while he was speaking. I would
00:06:00.160
appreciate if he would return the professional courtesy. He suggested we don't have a plan. We
00:06:04.520
literally published a plan in April of this year. He may think it's foreign because the plan that he
00:06:10.340
put forward as a party has no measures in it that will actually build more homes.
00:06:15.120
Well, he might think that a liberal plan is foreign because of all the foreign interference
00:06:18.700
that the liberals allow for. But why is this a good moment? Because again, Sean Frazier,
00:06:24.440
he's not rolling out all of his achievements. He's not rolling out his achievements on social media,
00:06:29.200
telling you how many more houses were built this year than last year, because the amount of new
00:06:33.940
houses being started is going down. The affordability of housing has sunk through the floor.
00:06:39.520
Housing is completely unaffordable because of the mass immigration that he approved of. Now Mark
00:06:44.540
Miller, our current even crappier immigration minister, is increasing and now trying to give
00:06:49.620
amnesty to people who overstayed their temporary foreign worker visas and student visas, and they should
00:06:54.920
be rightfully not allowed to stay because that is committing a crime to knowingly stay in the country
00:07:00.140
past when you were supposed to leave. But the fact that this is what he has to hang his hat on.
00:07:06.020
Oh, I got the chair to give me back my time. Oh, I got the chair to yield to me,
00:07:11.100
the liberal chair to yield to me instead of my conservative colleague, my conservative opponent.
00:07:16.040
If this is considered a win to you, Sean, dude, like you might as well, like you must cheer for
00:07:21.780
the Toronto Maple Leafs because that is like, he sees losing as winning. I don't know why or who
00:07:29.260
this appeals to. Who's watching this thing? Like what a great bit, what a great little shtick
00:07:34.040
Sean Frazier just did there. Like, I want to see what his, surprisingly, he has a good like to
00:07:40.600
dislike ratio. But honestly, it's probably because so few people have seen this clip that it's only
00:07:45.580
liberal party activists and bots liking it. I don't even know what to say. Like, that's all I
00:07:51.440
can say really is just look at that video. Does that appeal to you? Does this seem like a winning
00:07:55.840
government? Or does it seem like a government who can only get technical wins? Like, oh, I got my time
00:08:00.520
back from the chair. Ooh, I get to, I get to point out the conservative had his phone up.
00:08:06.140
They're beating you by 20 points. I want to see Sean Frazier's riding right now. Oh, sorry,
00:08:10.800
voice crack right there. I need to see how, if this guy had a chance of winning. If he does, I've lost,
00:08:16.640
I've lost faith in this country because Sean Frazier is boring Trudeau. He is somehow a dumber
00:08:23.360
version of Justin Trudeau. And oh my goodness, please don't be somebody who can still win.
00:08:28.660
Don't do this to me. Oh my goodness. He's said so many, he has said so many positions. It's
00:08:35.020
embarrassing how many positions they've given this guy. You can tell they want to turn him into like
00:08:39.200
the second coming of Justin Trudeau if Justin Trudeau decides to not run again. But if you've
00:08:43.960
seen the approval ratings of Sean Frazier, it's embarrassing that they keep building him up and
00:08:48.880
giving him screen time. And either people don't know who he is or think he's an idiot.
00:08:52.600
So Central Nova, this is the 338 projections. Yay. They are projecting the conservatives to win
00:09:00.480
49% of this riding with Sean Frazier only getting 32% of the vote. It is a more than 99% chance
00:09:06.940
of the conservatives winning back this riding. This used to be Peter McKay's riding. So I guess
00:09:11.560
this was to be expected, but I'm going to end the video off on that good news. Just quickly mentioning
00:09:17.340
the fact that I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:09:22.840
I'm still waiting to get the official lists. And it's been a bit annoying seeing my opponent,
00:09:27.200
Jeremy Nixon, have the list for more than a week and a half now, but we'll make do making videos in
00:09:32.100
the meantime. So if you live in this riding, there's 4,800 members who live in this area. I assume a
00:09:37.620
lot of you have seen my channel or watch my channel. So if you're a member, a federal Conservative
00:09:42.360
Party member in the riding of Signal Hill, please vote for me number one on your ballot. Vote for Michael Kim
00:09:47.480
number two. He's also a decent pick and I'll probably roll out a full list of who I'd vote
00:09:51.900
for if I was not in the race. And then also you can donate to my legal fund linked in the
00:09:58.220
description below. Just the Give, Send, Go link. We have a Chinese billionaire developer
00:10:02.120
suing us for defamation. And after this case has been ongoing for more than two and a half
00:10:06.520
years, he's not only not submitted any evidence that would show defamation, he's even had to
00:10:11.760
pay us $1,800 at one point during the case because he wasn't submitting anything. He did
00:10:16.780
eventually submit evidence, but it was like his LinkedIn profile and like the original libel notice
00:10:21.540
he sent, nothing that actually contained any evidence in it at all. He's just throwing paperwork
00:10:25.560
at us, hopefully trying to hurt us enough that we would apologize to him. But at the National
00:10:30.180
Telegraph, we don't apologize to people for complete nonsense. And so we've been fighting it out in court.
00:10:35.120
He assumed that I was 22 at the time this lawsuit started. He could bully me into giving him a fake
00:10:39.800
apology. But despite the fact our guest writer didn't even say anything bad about him directly,
00:10:45.180
we just linked to a long investigation about him. That was enough to try and sue us and bully us
00:10:49.760
into giving him an apology so he can pretend anything ever negative said about him is completely false
00:10:55.360
and defamatory when it's not at all. He was just suing the person he thought had the least amount of
00:10:59.640
money to defend themselves. But we pulled through anyways. Thank you for everyone who's donated so far.
00:11:05.020
The TMT Telegram channel link is also in the description below. And I'll see you guys all next time.
