A liberal MP goes on a rant about how family vacations are actually bad for the planet and why you should be able to go on a summer vacation in the car with your kids. This is an actual statement made in the House of Commons, by a Liberal MP.
00:00:00.000It's a common trope in politics that as a politician or a political party, you claim to stand for all the good things in the world, and your political opponents, well, they stand against all those good things.
00:00:13.080Obviously, this is usually a massive exaggeration in any political race that's ever occurred, but these days, there are some liberal MPs who are just flat out standing against good things that everyone likes in Canada.
00:00:26.220There's this liberal MP, Mark Holland, who went on this nutty rant yesterday trying to say that family vacations are actually very bad and evil.
00:00:37.120Not only is it an attack against the climate and it's going to cause Canada to burn, but also it's an attack against your kids somehow because you want to torture your kids in the back of that car.
00:00:49.280This is an actual statement that was made in Parliament. I can't even really project to you how nutty this is.
00:00:57.080I'm about to play it in a second. I talked about this in my show yesterday, but it was kind of deep into the episode, so I don't think a lot of people saw this clip.
00:01:04.020But this is something that was actually stated in the House of Commons, and you have to remember, a lot of things said in the House of Commons are scripted.
00:01:10.820So he wrote this down probably, thought it was good, and then proceeded to walk into the People's House of Commons and make this display.
00:01:19.220The Honourable Minister of Health. Mr. Speaker, good news, kids. You can take a summer fun time vacation where you're locked in a car for 10 consecutive days, nonstop, with no bathroom breaks, and the Conservatives have a plan for you to have that summertime fun.
00:01:34.120And the cost? Give up the future of the planet, right? Don't worry, kids, about climate change. Don't worry about taking action on the planet. Enjoy your 10 hours in the car and let the planet burn.
00:01:47.480Can we look at Seamus O'Regan's face here for a second? You will hear my computer taking a quick screenshot, because I want to put this on screen for you all to see in a little bit of some high-definition close-up.
00:02:00.620You can tell the rest of his colleagues are just befuddled by what Mark is doing here. I don't know why they thought this was a good idea, but they let him do it anyways.
00:02:09.940But I really love Seamus O'Regan's face here, just looking like he has seen the craziest thing in his entire life that this colleague of his that he probably has grown to respect over time has just ruined all that respect he's had by trying to claim that actually vacations are bad because you're trying to burn down Canada.
00:02:33.260You're trying to ruin the future of the planet. Also, parents don't let their kids, like, take bathroom breaks. If anything, it seems like Mark Holland is trying to reveal to us all that his parents were deeply abusive
00:02:44.920and would make him drive around the country all day every day during the summer in these 10-hour car rides where they wouldn't let him get out to simply stretch his legs or go to the bathroom.
00:02:57.220This is a party on its last legs. The fact that nobody even reviewed what he was going to say there, or maybe they did, that's the scarier thing, that the Liberals communications team had approved the statement.
00:03:07.220If it was off the cuff, goodness, man, someone should have, like, Seamus should have ripped him down and said, Mark, please stop talking and please resign because this is the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
00:03:19.340Like, this is where I feel bad for Liberal MPs because as much as they all deserve to lose their seats, they're awful legislators, they do not represent the views of Canadians.
00:03:29.440At the same time, there are some Liberal staff members and MPs who are so embarrassing, it must be torturous to have to be in caucus meetings with these people.
00:03:39.420Like, actually think about having to be in meetings with Mark Gerritsen, Mark Holland, Chrystia Freeland, Arif Farhani.
00:03:47.500You have to hear those people, especially the Cabinet-level ministers, who have some authority that you're supposed to, like, look up to as a backbench Liberal.
00:03:54.860There's some backbench Liberals who are probably somewhat competent at what they do, but obviously they didn't get to become a minister because competence was one of those things that they blackballed you for.
00:04:03.800And now you have to listen to Mark Holland and clap for him, pretend that this is great content.
00:04:10.580Him going on about how Pierre Polyev's a bad man because he wants families to be able to go on vacation.
00:04:16.700When you're taking a stand against vacations, I think that you've kind of gone over your skis.
00:04:22.380But this is very much the honest conclusion of a net zero agenda.
00:04:27.840Net zero means that you cannot be wasting energy or, like, using energy.
00:04:32.440I don't even want to use the word waste, using energy that you don't absolutely need to use.
00:04:36.940So going on vacations would become a thing of the past in 15 years with the Liberals' net zero agenda for 2035 or 2030 or whatever.
00:05:03.900Why are we arguing about the number of, like, of years we take until we bankrupt ourselves?
00:05:09.720How about we don't bankrupt ourselves?
00:05:11.680How about we just allow people to be as prosperous as they see fit and let the rest sort itself out?
00:05:17.640The great thing with capitalism, the great thing about greed, is that people like to buy as much gas for their car for as little money as possible.
00:05:27.400And they want that gas to last as long as humanly possible so that they don't have to buy more.
00:05:33.100That's why trucks, since, like, the 70s, have become, like, twice as efficient.
00:05:38.500Like, cars and trucks have gotten better over time.
00:05:41.480It wasn't because of a government mandate.
00:05:43.500It wasn't because of a regulation or a tax.
00:05:45.640It was because people who are smart want to get the most value for their money.
00:05:51.080And so products have become more efficient and higher quality over time.
00:05:54.840But that's not something that the liberals care about because regardless of how efficient your vehicle becomes,
00:06:01.220even if you drive an EV because it still requires natural gas from the grid,
00:06:05.160even if you're driving an EV, if you're going on vacation, what are you doing?
00:06:08.960Stick to your tiny quadrant of the city and just use public transportation.
00:09:10.200We want to make sure we have the most conservative people, most reform-minded people,
00:09:14.360set to be the representatives for these strong conservative ridings.
00:09:18.000And if you don't live in my riding, you can always donate to the TNT Legal Fund.
00:09:21.740That is linked in the description below, but below my campaign website, WyattClaypool.com.
00:09:26.680If you want to contribute anything to that, it really helps us out.
00:09:29.300We have this Chinese billionaire developer suing us for defamation.
00:09:32.880And in over two and a half years of this case going on, he still hasn't even provided any evidence we defamed him
00:09:38.980or that we damaged his reputation in any way, considering that all of our reporting was based on things that came out about him years earlier
00:09:46.500and had already run their course on his reputation, rightfully so, because it was all true.
00:09:51.900But yeah, so that's a little bit of background on why you maybe want to donate.
00:09:55.980But I understand if people don't, make sure to like this video, share it, subscribe, do all those great things.
00:10:01.500And then I also have a link to the TNT Telegram channel in the description of this video below.
