I have for you here today one of the most absurd statements I've ever heard a Liberal Party
00:00:05.620
minister make on the issue of immigration. They know that they're stuck on this issue and they
00:00:10.700
are deeply unpopular with their stance on mass immigration. And in response to the standard that
00:00:16.400
Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev has set out that immigration should be lowered to the
00:00:20.980
rate that it's not driving up costs of housing in this country, this is what Immigration Minister
00:00:26.140
Mark Miller said in response. It is unhealthy to link housing to the volume of people that are
00:00:36.040
coming here to seek refuge and asylum. Equally unhealthy to relate it to immigrants that
00:00:44.860
the price of houses has jumped as a result of interest rates and affordability has jumped as
00:00:52.300
a result of that. That isn't because of volumes that we are seeing. At the same time, and these
00:00:57.640
are two truths that can be the case at the same time, it's no surprise that people that are here
00:01:03.120
temporarily as economists measure do put pressure on what they call the cost of shelter. This is more
00:01:10.720
of a humanitarian challenge because the type of shelter that we would deploy as a responsible
00:01:16.280
country to welcome these people. Affordability has struck every single part of the country and
00:01:22.000
that is not something that asylum seekers have created, nor should they be held responsible for.
00:01:27.560
So we shouldn't hold the rate of immigration responsible for the increased price of housing.
00:01:34.100
Mark Miller, a skull crushing moron, but then went on to say, well, temporary workers do put upward
00:01:40.660
pressure on the price of shelter. Well, why not regular immigrants and why not refugees and asylum
00:01:46.660
seekers? It's just silly too, that Canada is like the destination for refugees and asylum seekers. I
00:01:53.200
have nothing against Canada taking in some refugees, but it's always weird that we're taking refugees in
00:01:58.580
from the other side of the planet and bringing them to a country that they just can't afford to live in
00:02:03.120
unless the government is going to cough up enough money so that they can sustain themselves here.
00:02:07.500
It would be better if the government literally just quartered the amount of support and gave them
00:02:12.060
money so they could buy shelter in a different country. Bringing them to Canada doesn't help
00:02:16.560
anybody, especially the immigrants themselves. This man, Mark Miller, is only our immigration
00:02:22.240
minister right now because he was part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wedding party back in the
00:02:27.220
day. There are so many people in ministry positions inside of the liberal government who are
00:02:33.720
completely incompetent, but they had some weird personal relationship with Justin Trudeau back in
00:02:38.620
the day. And that means that they're allowed to stick around as ministers. Like Seamus O'Regan is this
00:02:44.740
way. Other people who are ministers are just people who knew Justin Trudeau back in the day when he was
00:02:49.420
even more of a useless twit with no skills. I guess you could say he really hasn't gained any skills
00:02:54.180
since then other than covering up corruption. But the idea that we can, at all costs,
00:03:00.740
we cannot talk about immigration rates is stupid. The liberals know that this is a losing issue.
00:03:06.920
That's why Mark Miller is falling all over himself in that clip. But he's been given orders from on
00:03:11.920
a high that he is not allowed to acknowledge that there is issues with immigration when it comes to
00:03:16.700
housing prices, the speed that public services get delivered, and all this stuff. Whenever you look
00:03:22.480
at polling, you'll actually find, even more so than Canadian citizens who have been here like 10 plus
00:03:28.840
years, it's actually immigrants who are the people most likely to tell you that the immigration rate
00:03:34.520
is too high. They are like 67% saying that immigration rates are too high in this country.
00:03:40.100
And that makes sense. Have you ever been on an airplane before and thought, wow, this airplane's
00:03:45.160
a little bit overstuffed. I wish there were fewer seats so we could all get a little bit more leg room.
00:03:50.600
You probably have thought of that because that's a normal thing for a traveler to think.
00:03:54.320
You don't just think, I wish they would really stuff this plane even fuller with people because
00:03:58.480
I'm pro-travel. That's not how anyone actually thinks about situations like that. So immigrants,
00:04:04.960
people who have gone through the system of Canada, and then have come out the other side,
00:04:08.960
either as permanent residents or citizens, seeing how few resources there are available for the sheer
00:04:13.780
amount of people in Canada, seeing how high the housing prices are, and just seeing how bloated the
00:04:18.740
immigration system is in general, they're telling us 500,000 is too much. And so that's why in my
00:04:26.080
riding, I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination. I always plug it,
00:04:30.880
but this is what the riding looks like. It's on the west side of Calgary. I'm running to reduce
00:04:34.640
immigration rates because it's something that will make everybody's lives better. Young people will
00:04:39.700
be able to afford homes. New immigrants will actually be able to afford homes too because they're
00:04:43.500
competing with less other immigrants as well. It will help everyone out. And there's still people.
00:04:48.320
In my race, and when I say other people, I mean every other candidate I'm running against. There's
00:04:52.680
like 14 people running in my riding. All the other candidates, they still just talk about the fact
00:04:58.140
that we need to build more homes. We cannot build more homes to take care of this issue. There is not
00:05:03.560
like a large enough amount of housing starts that we can realistically start in order to combat this
00:05:10.000
issue. We actually build in Canada homes fastest and in the most great quantity per capita out of any
00:05:17.960
other G7 country. And we still cannot supply enough housing for the crazy amount of population that we
00:05:24.700
bring in every single year, both through organic growth, as well as through immigration, temporary
00:05:30.100
foreign workers and foreign students. It just cannot work. And yet I have like former MLAs running against
00:05:36.140
me for the Conservative Party nomination who should know better saying, well, we just need to build houses
00:05:40.940
faster. We can't. We cannot. If you say something like that, you sound like a liberal to me,
00:05:46.240
like Mark Miller just saying, well, it's not immigrants fall. It's just that we just need
00:05:50.160
to expand our shelter capacity. We can't. We've already done as well as we can. And there's always
00:05:55.400
this weird argument, like we can bring in immigrants so that they could help us build homes. The skill
00:05:59.560
set to building a home in Canada is like so much different to other countries. I have talked to
00:06:04.720
developers. They say you actually can't hire many of these people, not because they lack skills. A lot of
00:06:08.600
them have great skills. It's just that the sort of skills you need to build a house in Canada,
00:06:13.060
the sort of like infrastructure framing work, insulation work that needs to be done are skills
00:06:17.940
that you would need, like upgrades to your certifications in order to take part in
00:06:22.420
confidently. Anyways, this drives me up a wall whenever we see liberals coming out and just
00:06:27.940
pretending like adding 500,000 people to the country per year is not going to put pressure on
00:06:32.700
homes. And the liberals housing plan is not working at all. Our current housing minister,
00:06:39.160
Sean Frazier, keeps ballyhooing his plan, his like, you know, housing acceleration fund. They're
00:06:44.700
just throwing money at municipalities, pretending they're going to build homes faster. Our home
00:06:48.780
starts, our new housing starts have fallen year over year for three years now. It's not getting
00:06:55.660
better. And it turns out that when you throw money at a bloated system to build houses faster,
00:07:00.200
it just means that the money gets just burnt up faster too. You actually need to change housing
00:07:06.200
policy as well as reduce immigration if you actually want to be able to make sure you can
00:07:10.900
build homes that people can afford. Anyways, that should be it for me today. If you live in my
00:07:16.880
riding, Calgary Signal Hill, buy Conservative Party membership. My website is in the description below,
00:07:22.540
wyattclaypool.com. And if you want to contribute to mine and the National Telegraph's legal fund,
00:07:27.980
the give, send, go link is also in the description below. We're being sued by a ridiculous,
00:07:31.920
like billionaire developer for defamation because we had a guest writer mention him in one of our
00:07:37.020
articles in the context of reporting that was already done about him. We reported nothing new
00:07:41.680
and nothing unfactual, but he's going to try and squeeze us for a fake apology, but we don't put up
00:07:46.940
with that store of crap at the National Telegraph. So we're fighting back and it has cost us more than
00:07:51.800
$26,000 so far. So if you want to contribute to that, it really helps keep our legal effort funded and
00:07:58.000
it takes the burden of cost off of us so we can reinvest more in actually expanding the National
00:08:02.840
Telegraph. Anyways, have a great day, everyone.
