00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:05.760 I feel like I need to apologize to you all because it's been a very, very long time
00:00:11.940 since I made fun of liberal MP Mark Gerritsen. He stopped using X about a year ago, and I guess
00:00:19.000 I've just been neglecting to check in on his Facebook page to see all the ridiculous stuff
00:00:24.020 he's posting. But thanks to one of his own fans who reposted one of his videos on X,
00:00:30.020 I am coming out of retirement to make fun of Mark Gerritsen some more. He tried to slap back
00:00:37.700 at conservative MP Jamil Giovanni for saying that the prime minister shouldn't be going to
00:00:43.100 lewd pride parades. And I don't think the video went the way that Mark thought it was going to go.
00:00:49.900 it's an indefensible position. Jamil Giovanni is 10,000% right. The Prime Minister of Canada,
00:00:58.340 let alone any country, should not be going to parades where people are wearing fetish dog masks
00:01:04.300 and who can apparently not figure out how to wear pants. That feels like something inappropriate
00:01:10.100 for the Prime Minister to be doing. Even the Prime Minister's own team understand it's not
00:01:16.120 appropriate that's why they strategically have him march at the part of the parade where all of
00:01:22.640 the people not wearing clothes are nowhere near he goes in early in the day and he quickly escapes
00:01:28.180 before the real criminals show up because i do think it is a criminal act to not wear clothes
00:01:34.620 at a parade you know call me crazy i think that you should actually wear clothing in public whether
00:01:41.480 there are children there or not, but especially if there are children there. But let's jump into
00:01:47.260 this video that Mark Gerritsen posted. You've already seen the Jamil Giovanni video. I played
00:01:52.960 it on an episode a couple days ago. Very straightforward. He just says, I don't think
00:01:57.640 the prime minister should be photographed around half-naked dudes, and then the whole left 0.95
00:02:03.020 exploded, including Mark Gerritsen here. And this is what he decided to post, by the way,
00:02:07.140 on Canada Day. This was a Canada Day priority for Mark Gerritsen to defend the honor of dudes who
00:02:14.080 don't wear clothes. Mark Gerritsen here says it's not about standards. It's about who the standards
00:02:19.680 apply to. Mark, I can... This is Jamil Javani, one of Pierre Polyev's conservatives wearing clothes.
00:02:27.400 This is a consistent principle that I hold. Actually, I'm going to pull this down because
00:02:31.700 I think there's a better way of me playing this video. Facebook's just always weird whenever
00:02:35.920 you're trying to play videos uh about getting the actual ratio on the screen right so we'll do it
00:02:41.200 this way but i i immediately hate the whole style of like people walking around and like pointing up
00:02:49.100 at the photo above them of the serious issue they want to talk about but i'll let mark garrettson
00:02:53.480 make his case here this is jamil javani one of pier polyev's conservative mps trying to defend
00:02:59.160 comments that he recently made about the prime minister at the toronto pride parade yesterday i
00:03:04.740 heard from many Canadians who had a lot of thoughts and opinions concerning my comments
00:03:10.200 about Mark Carney and the Pride Parade. So let me be very clear. I think it's shameful that we
00:03:17.120 have a Prime Minister shaking hands with half-naked dudes wearing perverted costumes at a parade. 0.99
00:03:25.000 This fact check true? I think that's a purely sensible position that Jamil Giovanni has there. 0.74
00:03:31.440 And Mark Gerritsen acted like, oh, Jamil Giovanni's defending himself as if he was in like the doghouse and he's trying to get out of it. No, Jamil said something sensible in a post the other day. People tried to attack him. And Jamil smells blood in the water, seeing these ridiculous people trying to go after him for a very common sense position that like 90% of people in this country hold.
00:03:57.060 and so he doubled and tripled down because it's a winning position because he said something
00:04:04.360 sensible the liberals in the world decided that we're going to have a culture war battle over
00:04:10.320 this one and he said come at me i am on like a dug in hill with trenches and bunkers and you guys
00:04:17.120 have like i guess like sticks and you're going to run at me with them metaphorically he has a very
00:04:23.540 well defended position on a hill. And a bunch of morons are going to try and run at him with like 1.00
00:04:29.540 their like wooden swords to say that Jamil's bad for not wanting naked men to be walking around 1.00
00:04:35.320 cities, let alone the prime minister be photographed with them. But now let's hear
00:04:40.160 from Mark Gerritsen why Jamil is so terrible for saying this. This is an outrage. It's selective
00:04:48.120 outrage. Jamil is criticizing the prime minister for shaking hands with half naked dudes at a
00:04:52.440 pride parade yes yes those ones there was in fact fully naked people at those pride parades
00:04:57.860 last year he took a photo of a guy just wearing a thong and he like gave a full body wrap to him
00:05:03.200 a little weird a little bit odd i i even repeated this stuff last year i thought it was i thought
00:05:09.000 it was shameful for the prime minister to be at those events i don't like mark carney i also don't
00:05:14.740 want him there i can yeah i can point and laugh at him and get some value out of that at the same
00:05:19.500 time, I really don't want him to be doing this because it hurts the actual sort of what is
00:05:24.740 considered normal in Canada when the prime minister actively engages with those people
00:05:29.220 who are not acting normal. There's a reason why the majority of gay people don't even go to pride 1.00
00:05:33.960 parades because they've gotten a little funky. Calling it shameful, inappropriate, a sign of 1.00
00:05:39.300 weak leadership. But here's the question people should be asking. Would he be saying the same
00:05:43.540 thing if it were a half-naked woman because yes yes every conservatives were criticizing
00:05:50.260 justin trudeau for taking a photo with women at pride parades who were not properly dressed
00:05:56.580 who were effectively not dressed this has been something that's been going on for like a decade
00:06:01.260 now conservatives saying that liberal politicians should not be going to events where people are
00:06:06.860 just acting lewd, to put it mildly. People are acting lewd, and it's a disgrace to their office
00:06:14.100 to be seen there. Like, what are we talking about? Like, maybe he's going to pull up a photo and be
00:06:19.360 like, hey, look at this lady right here wearing a tennis-like top or whatever. Is he mad at
00:06:26.540 Polly for taking a photo with her? Sign of weak leadership. But here's the question people should
00:06:32.860 be asking would he be saying the same thing if it were a half-naked woman because we've all seen 0.72
00:06:37.740 politicians at events festivals parades celebrations with people in revealing outfits and suddenly it's 0.58
00:06:43.500 not perverted okay is that person wearing something that you know maybe we if we you know
00:06:50.720 we were related to them we'd say hey don't wear that you know that's that's a little risque don't 1.00
00:06:54.940 do that is there's a difference between that and like literally guys wearing thongs how many women 0.95
00:07:01.980 just wearing like a bikini have just shown up to a conservative event and then the conservative 1.00
00:07:07.200 politician is like oh yeah just come over here let's take a photo they'd probably say hey you
00:07:11.260 know i don't want to do this it's a little bit you know raunchy for like a family friendly event
00:07:17.140 i'm a politician who represents everybody can you please you know wear a proper outfit for coming to
00:07:23.280 like a town hall or a meet and greet or a festival does he even have a photo to back this up because
00:07:29.180 this man this man right here thinks he's absolutely cooking right now with what he's saying here
00:07:35.500 this is a nothing take he's not making any point that i can think of it's not a national
00:07:42.200 embarrassment so what changed not the amount of clothing the people and here's where it gets
00:07:47.200 the people can we actually get a photographic example of a woman who is not properly dressed
00:07:53.500 who nobody has a problem with someone taking a photo with and then we can show a gay person
00:07:57.700 wearing the exact same outfit and everyone's outraged because we've all seen politicians at 0.57
00:08:03.140 events festivals parades celebrations with people in revealing outfits and suddenly it's not perverted
00:08:08.760 it's not a national embarrassment so what changed not the amount of clothing the people and here's
00:08:14.560 where it gets even more obvious jamil himself has posted photos standing next to half naked dudes
00:08:20.220 oh yeah they're boxers who don't wear shirts because you don't wear shirts when you're boxing
00:08:26.660 Have you ever actually seen boxing shorts, though? They're very long. They're very bulky. Those guys were not wearing G-strings, pink G-strings, walking around Vancouver Pride in 2025.
00:08:39.860 or people literally not wearing clothes at the Toronto Pride Festival or literally, I'm not even kidding, dudes in dogs masks barking at the Prime Minister, doing their weird fetish activities in public, associating it with the Prime Minister.
00:08:58.880 I literally have a video of it. Someone sent me it after I made my last video. I'm going to pull the Gerritsen video down so I can show you this quickly.
00:09:06.880 There is a big difference between what Mark Gerritsen is showing here with Jamil taking a photo next to a professional boxer and then this right here with these dudes barking at the prime minister.
00:09:25.140 The same guys in dog's masks you saw him photographed with were literally barking at him.
00:09:36.880 can we can we say that this is shameful in some way can even olivia chow looks a little taken
00:09:48.280 aback and that's olivia chow herself does disturbing things and i can tell you that
00:09:54.680 also whenever he says oh well well we never criticize politicians for taking photos next to
00:10:00.220 not properly dressed women it's like okay well one show me an actual example that someone got
00:10:05.060 away with. And two, I have a great counter example. Olivia Chow frequently is just not wearing proper
00:10:11.840 like clothes at events when she's going to like those Caribbean celebration events and she's 0.99
00:10:16.980 wearing some weird leotard. People have criticized her. I can guarantee you, I will not show a photo
00:10:22.340 of that because it's gross. This is always, this is like, we have standards and I think we can also
00:10:27.680 exercise common sense to see the difference between weird dudes in dog masks and fetish
00:10:34.240 leather straps barking at the prime minister and a boxer same level of clothing same it's not the
00:10:43.540 same level not at all kind of setting but now no outrage no moral language that's the double
00:10:50.120 standard when it fits a certain image it's strength discipline masculinity when it doesn't
00:10:55.600 it suddenly becomes inappropriate is mark garrett's actual is his actual position here
00:11:03.060 that it's equally masculine for a boxer to be like shirtless you know with his with his boxing
00:11:12.680 gloves on after or before a fight where he's actually going to test his skill and athletics
00:11:18.700 against another guy and then saying that that is equally as masculine as guys walking around in
00:11:25.480 public basically not wearing clothes and acting like animals literally animals those are equal
00:11:32.600 in Mark Gerritsen's mind. This is moral relativism on full display. And by the way,
00:11:41.020 Jamil Javani is not saying these guys should not be allowed to do this on their personal time.
00:11:44.840 Sure, whatever. He's saying the prime minister should not be lending his office to what these
00:11:52.820 people are doing, to take photos with them, to shake hands with them, to be seen photographed
00:11:57.300 with people that he's now representing as like the normal in terms of the celebrations. If that
00:12:04.820 is normal for the celebration, you shouldn't be shocked that people are turning on the celebrations,
00:12:09.460 which again is why corporations are pulling their money out. Majority of gay people don't even go to 1.00
00:12:14.200 these things. And a lot of people on social media and especially younger people are just turning
00:12:19.500 on the whole culture in general. It's a little too much. It suddenly becomes shameful. It's
00:12:27.100 suddenly becomes something the country should be embarrassed about same behavior completely
00:12:32.040 different judgment and once you see that this stops being about leadership because consistent
00:12:36.840 standards don't shift based on who's in the photo if your outrage only shows up when it's convenient
00:12:42.520 it's not a standard it's a bias oh my goodness yeah uh i got that guy was first the mayor of
00:12:51.080 Kingston, and now he is the MP for Kingston and the Islands. Just absolutely godspeed to anyone
00:12:58.000 who has to live in that guy's riding. It's mesmerizing that he thought that that was a
00:13:04.120 good idea because politicians have staff. I'm wondering if Mark just shot that video and
00:13:09.600 posted himself. The fact that it had edits in it and was probably put into one of those
00:13:15.300 shorts, editing apps. Probably tells me a staff member made that. No staff member working for
00:13:22.580 Mark Gerritsen just say, hey, Mark, I'm not going to post you saying dudes barking in dog masks are 1.00
00:13:29.480 the same as a boxer because that's stupid. And people are going to realize you're stupid if we 1.00
00:13:35.100 post it. So I'm not going to do that. And also to post that on Canada Day. Great Canada Day post 1.00
00:13:44.300 there, Mark. I'm sure everyone, I'm sure the liberals have just doubled their support in your
00:13:50.760 area because they now know that their MP is morally responsible and is going to stand up to, 0.97
00:13:57.960 might I say, the fascism of Jamil Giovanni for not supporting the half-naked dudes. 0.97
00:14:04.740 You don't support the half-naked dudes, you're basically a fascist. And by the way, this is 0.96
00:14:09.760 exactly like women at events showing up not properly dressed which if anything sounds weird
00:14:15.900 that Mark Gerritsen has been noticing all these people not properly dressed but doesn't even have
00:14:20.680 a photo of it like how much is he staring at women at his events and determining whether the
00:14:25.580 outfits were appropriate or not I know it's one of those things where when we see it well you can tell
00:14:30.320 I've been to dozens of political events in my life I have very very very rarely ever seen anyone
00:14:39.020 not properly dressed at a political event. So I'm not sure what political events Mark
00:14:44.220 Gerritsen is going to, but I can guarantee whatever examples he could even show on screen
00:14:50.480 would not even be comparable to the sorts of things that people wear or don't wear at pride
00:14:57.280 parades, including when Justin Trudeau was taking photos with women not properly dressed at pride
00:15:02.360 parades. By the way, probably a bunch of straight people are also engaged in this behavior at pride
00:15:07.660 rates. It really has nothing to do with the orientation of individuals. It has to do with
00:15:13.240 the personal choices they are making of how to present themselves in public. Anyways, with all
00:15:19.480 that being said, thank you guys for watching. Make sure to like the video, subscribe if you're not

00:15:39.720 It really helps make the whole thing more sustainable for me and allows me to be less
00:15:43.880 reliant on the very wonky YouTube algorithm. And then a bit of an update with the pipeline issue,
00:15:50.480 the pipeline that is going from Hardesty, it's something like that. I always forget the names
00:15:55.760 of places and I feel embarrassed. But I'm going to be addressing the Southern Route proposal
00:16:01.160 by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith alongside Mark Carney from yesterday, probably in a video
00:16:06.600 tomorrow. There's a lot of thoughts I have on it. I really don't think that this is going to work
00:16:12.620 out very well as people from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and as Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:16:17.720 from Rebel News and people from other media have pointed out, this has all been done before.
00:16:24.160 We had Energy East. We've had other pipelines that were scheduled to go to the West Coast
00:16:28.780 that the government was backing that then completely died later on because it turns out
00:16:34.000 the government wasn't actually serious about getting the project finished. And there's not
00:16:40.280 a shade of red enough to represent the red flag that I'm throwing up about the proposed pipeline
00:16:48.840 route. One, the thing doesn't even have to start getting built until between 2027 and 2029. And
00:16:55.220 when a government's giving you a range like that, it's going to be 2030. And then even if we start
00:17:00.420 building it conveniently after the first full term of Mark Carney is over, it would then take
00:17:05.800 another seven, eight years, or if not a decade to complete. And taxpayers get to put up $44 billion.
00:17:13.540 They get the privilege of setting $44 billion on fire for something that the private sector should
00:17:20.280 be paying for. And I'm not saying this from like the BC NDP perspective of, oh, why isn't private
00:17:25.560 money paying for this and acting like it's all, it's just because private sector interests don't
00:17:31.220 want to fund this thing. No, no, they do, but it's currently impossible based on the regulations,
00:17:36.340 the taxes, and a lot of the other things the government would force them to do, like selling
00:17:40.720 off portions of the pipeline interest for free, for nothing, to First Nations. All that stuff is
00:17:46.540 place. That is why the government is effectively having to back the project. There's only one
00:17:51.340 private company involved in it, and it's Pembina pipelines that would just be involved in literally
00:17:56.540 building it. Not an actual owner of it, they'll just help with the actual construction. Everyone
00:18:01.660 else involved is a government institution. It's the Alberta government, provincial BC government,
00:18:07.980 provincial Alberta government. So yeah, federal, BC provincial, Alberta provincial, and then you
00:18:13.660 have Trans Mountain, which is a government-owned corporation. $44 billion, and this thing's not
00:18:20.620 even got to get started for multiple years, but now I'm getting into the issue I didn't want to
00:18:23.580 talk about today. That full discussion will happen probably tomorrow. I'm actually going to see if I
00:18:28.380 even get a guest on to talk more about the technicals with me, but that will be for another
00:18:34.220 time. Anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching, and I'll see you all next time.
