The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Liberal Minister makes insane statement on Mass Immigration

00:00:00.000 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 1.00

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. 0.61

00:01:27.560 So we shouldn't hold the rate of immigration responsible for the increased price of housing. 0.97

00:01:34.100 Mark Miller, a skull crushing moron, but then went on to say, well, temporary workers do put upward 0.99

00:01:40.660 pressure on the price of shelter. Well, why not regular immigrants and why not refugees and asylum 1.00

00:01:46.660 seekers? It's just silly too, that Canada is like the destination for refugees and asylum seekers. I 1.00

00:01:53.200 have nothing against Canada taking in some refugees, but it's always weird that we're taking refugees in 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.98

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. 1.00

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, 1.00

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 0.98

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 0.98

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.91

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 0.92

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.
