The Liberals are in a crisis. They lost a safe seat in Toronto St. Paul, and now there are calls for Justin Trudeau to step down as Prime Minister. Is it time for a new leader? And what will the party do in a time of crisis?
00:00:00.000Welcome back to the Wyatt Claypool Show, everyone. Today, I'm pleasantly surprised to report to you guys that spines do exist in the Liberal Party. Not intelligence, but at least some spines, because in the aftermath of Justin Trudeau and the Liberals losing the very safe seat of Toronto St. Paul, which is literally right in the center of the city, this is the safest of safe seats.
00:00:24.540This is a seat that they still held on to when the party folded in on itself in 2011 under the lack of leadership of Michael Ignatieff. They lost this seat. And now I expected that what was going to happen was that the Liberals were just going to say, oh, it's a fluke. They tricked the Canadian people. The Conservatives somehow interfered in this election, like one of the Liberal volunteers was saying, because Melissa Lantzman sent out a letter to Jewish people in the neighborhood.
00:00:51.940They tricked the Jews into voting for the Conservatives. That's what it seemed like they were lining up for. We all saw the clips on my last episode of Mark Holland having a meltdown on television, saying that it's just that Canadians are emotional. They'll figure out that the Liberals are actually taking charge and everything's great.
00:01:09.820And Christopher Lantzman saying, oh, I couldn't imagine anyone else leading us into this next election, but our charismatic leader, Justin Trudeau.
00:01:17.820And now we actually have some Liberal MPs and former MPs coming out to smack around Justin Trudeau saying that obviously he needs to step aside.
00:01:27.800Let's start off with Catherine McKenna, our former environment minister, dubbed Climate Barbie.
00:01:33.360And no, that is not a sexist term because I call Stephen Gilbeau Climate Ken, and I don't think that anyone has a problem with that.
00:01:41.480But in this article from the Globe and Mail, or it's actually CBC News, says former Trudeau minister Catherine McKenna says the Liberals need a new leader,
00:01:50.820which is kind of hilarious because I think Catherine McKenna is the last person that we want to hear advice to anyone from,
00:01:58.080considering that she was so incompetent at her job that she misplaced billions of dollars as the environment minister.
00:02:04.740They spent money on projects, and then they couldn't actually account for literally billions of dollars.
00:02:10.280They knew they spent it somewhere, but they forgot where.
00:02:13.540And now this lady is going to step in and tell Justin Trudeau that it's time to, you know, maybe go the way of the dodo.
00:02:19.520In a certain sense, I actually didn't like that she was the one person who came out because she was going to be very easy to discredit.
00:02:25.900She's a former Liberal MP, didn't run after 2019, and so she's kind of irrelevant, and not many people put much stock into what she says.
00:02:34.800But then actual current Liberal MPs started coming out and also going after Justin Trudeau.
00:02:40.220We see New Brunswick Liberal Wayne Long saying that Justin Trudeau needs to step down and that we need a new leader to actually bring us, you know, a modicum of a chance of winning in 2025.
00:02:53.180You could say, well, he's a backbencher, but this is the funniest one that just came out.
00:02:57.600So, Nate Erickson-Smith, who ran for the Ontario Liberal Party and actually got pretty close to winning.
00:03:04.560It was between himself and Bonnie Crombie, and obviously Bonnie Crombie just had a much bigger profile, so was able to out-muscle him by the end.
00:03:12.940But he was a contender for being a guy that most people, at least myself in Alberta, doesn't know who he is.
00:03:18.240But he came out with a video, and this is really biting the Liberals because it was just two weeks ago that the Liberals were relying on his podcasting skills to go after Conservative MP Arnold Vearson for some very badly taken out of context comments Arnold Vearson had made on pro-life issues.
00:03:36.880I really like Arnold Vearson. He's a great MP, but it was just him rapid-fire questioning him on a bunch of controversial issues, and Arnold never actually got to talk about those issues.
00:03:47.140He was able to give surface-level answers, and they never really got into a deeper discussion.
00:03:52.660If they did, I think most people would say, well, Arnold's positions are completely in the stream of what the middle-class, mainstream Canadian wants.
00:04:02.740But now, Nate Erickson-Smith is coming out with a video going after Justin Trudeau, basically saying,
00:04:08.680we worked hard for Toronto St. Paul, and the fact that we couldn't pull it out no matter what we did really proves that the party is in a crisis.
00:04:17.140And that we do have the power as Liberal MPs to choose a new leader.
00:04:21.540He says, this right here on his X account,
00:04:24.820Forget the anonymous quotes from Liberal MPs. If anyone has a say, it should be the grassroots members.
00:04:31.240Here are my thoughts on a tough by-election and what comes next for the Prime Minister and our country.
00:04:36.020Like, this is a shot across the bow. I want to play a little bit of the video that he posted alongside it.
00:04:41.500Which brings me to Toronto St. Paul's and the recent by-election.
00:04:45.600Now, I knocked on doors, sure, but far too small a sample to have a real sense of the riding there.
00:04:50.460My colleague John McKay pointed to support for Israel as a flashpoint for the by-election.
00:04:54.540It's impossible that increased rents and mortgage renewals at higher interest rates didn't play a factor.
00:04:59.420And capital gains changes, sure, they may well have swung a few points.
00:05:03.260Carolyn Bennett represented that riding for almost 30 years.
00:05:06.420Leslie Church was smart and hardworking, but didn't benefit from a very contested nomination or from Bennett's endorsement.
00:05:12.880Because the government had appointed her to be an ambassador before the race.
00:05:16.600There were some basic operational mistakes here, and complacency was our enemy.
00:05:21.800And then there's how people feel about the Prime Minister and his government.
00:05:26.240Governing wears on governments. People are unhappy for a variety of reasons.
00:05:29.940And of course, a by-election is a good way to let that be known.
00:05:32.960But it's a message that something has to change, which the Prime Minister acknowledged.
00:05:38.180But does that include a change at the top?
00:05:40.660Now, I'm not running again, so none of this is personal for me, except that I do care about a progressive direction for this country.
00:05:48.300Well, Justin Trudeau re-energized a downtrodden Liberal Party and brought it from third to first in 2015.
00:05:55.540He has imperfectly, yes, but advanced a progressive direction, strong climate action, prioritized reconciliation, child poverty reduction and child care, improved pensions, worker protections and a federal minimum wage, a return to social housing investments, action to address the opioid crisis and more.
00:06:12.140If you just quickly want to cut him off here, and I'll let him finish because I know he's about to throw in a butt and saying that Justin Trudeau needs to walk off stage quietly now.
00:06:21.460You know, you've ruined our party now.
00:06:23.420Please dance back into the background so we can have someone else come up.
00:06:27.460But even all these accomplishments he's listing for Justin Trudeau, at least in my opinion, are utterly pathetic.
00:06:33.360Yes, some people enjoy these social programs.
00:06:36.580Some of these things are what we could vaguely define as a good to at least somebody.
00:06:42.100But the problem is the underlying finances of the country, the economy of the country, the social fabric of the country is so damaged to get these little tiny goodies.
00:06:51.940These little tiny goodies that usually are actually causing the inflationary issues and are going to require more benefits in the future in order to make up for the damage that they're doing to the economy.
00:07:02.620And so even Nate Erickson-Smith trying to make this all look like a, you know, Justin Trudeau has a good legacy.
00:07:58.300Of course, if you care about the country and its direction, and you're worried as I am about a quality of government, there isn't necessarily unlimited time to right the ship.
00:08:07.720The prime minister has articulated the need to protect our progress as he answers questions about running again.
00:08:12.280And he and his team should now articulate why he is the best person to protect it.
00:08:22.040I don't think we need to watch any more of this.
00:08:23.660But Justin Trudeau is just so obviously not the right person to be helming the country at this point.
00:08:28.940The fact that he even has to say that the prime minister and his team need to articulate why he's the best person for the job.
00:08:35.160If that is ever a question in your political career, when you are in the top position, that people are saying, well, I think he has to explain why he's the best person for this job.
00:08:44.680You're not the best person for this job.
00:08:46.720If questions like this are even ever floated, obviously, you can fall into some hard times as a leader.
00:08:52.000But people should never feel like this is the wrong man for the time and place.
00:08:58.460When people are starting to ask the question, the question has already answered itself, that if people are questioning if you're the right person, you're not the right person.
00:09:07.080It's kind of one of those things that Mark Holland did yesterday.
00:09:10.200When you start to try and tell the voters how they voted wrong, you're usually losing.
00:09:15.720It's not because that, you know, if we just are explaining this properly, whether Trudeau is the better prime minister, why liberal party policies are actually good.
00:09:27.240And to put a point on just how done it is, the liberals somehow, even after Toronto St. Paul, have a new scandal breaking.
00:09:36.100So Harjit Sajjan, our former defense minister, an utterly incompetent defense minister, is now in a new scandal.
00:09:43.660And he's somehow our minister of emergency preparedness.
00:09:46.940So he screwed up so badly on defense that he wasn't just kicked out of the liberal cabinet, if not caucus.
00:09:56.380No, no, he was still given another position after this, even though he was proven to be an utter incompetent buffoon.
00:10:03.600And now we have new details showing how much of a buffoon he was when it came to the Afghanistan withdrawal that happened back in 2021.
00:10:11.560In a certain sense, you can't fully blame the liberals for the Afghanistan withdrawal because this was all on President Joe Biden randomly just pulling the carpet out from underneath the Afghani government.
00:10:23.940And this is how it's saying the Afghanistan pullout was like, I know a lot of people don't like the sort of forever wars type stuff that goes on.
00:10:31.220But for some reason, Joe Biden pulled out not just the American military, but he even canceled all of the contracts with military contractors that were keeping Afghani planes in the air.
00:10:43.020Because you can train an Afghani soldier to go into pilot school and train them how to fly a jet fighter.
00:10:51.460But it takes so much more time to train someone to be an engineer of the caliber that can maintain a military grade aircraft.
00:11:00.060And the thing is, Biden just took away all that funding.
00:11:02.820And so the Afghani military, who relied heavily on air support, just collapsed because once they figured out they couldn't get their helicopters and planes off the ground,
00:11:11.500the military forces on the ground were saying, well, the problem is we're fighting crazy Islamists who don't actually care if they die.
00:11:20.000So we're just going to fold because once this becomes a pure ground war with no air support, we're not doing anymore.
00:11:25.500And so we can blame Biden and the Biden administration for having just completely let everyone down.
00:11:31.560They could have literally kept the Afghani military in the fight perpetually forever by just even pulling every single American troop off the ground.
00:11:40.160For like less than a billion dollars a year, they could have probably kept Afghanistan whole.
00:11:44.960But for just the photo op of cutting all American support out of Afghanistan, we just gave the country over to a bunch of Stone Age Islamists.
00:11:54.940But Harjit Sajjan, the defense minister at the time, the liberal defense minister, while we were trying to get Canadian citizens and assets out of the country,
00:12:06.040people who are translators for the Canadian military, who we should be honoring their service to and then bringing them out of the country because they could get killed.
00:12:14.880We should be getting Canadian citizens out.
00:12:16.520We should be getting all of our military assets out as much as we can.
00:12:20.320Harjit Sajjan had taken, and this is under very credible sources that came out of the military,
00:12:24.880four different military sources on the ground, say that he diverted Canadian military resources towards saving Afghani Sikhs because he is a Sikh man himself.
00:12:37.940And so for some reason on the ground, he felt more loyalty to Sikh Afghanis,
00:12:42.360Afghanis who obviously they're in danger to just as Afghani Christians are under threat and any religious minority is under threat in Afghanistan.
00:12:50.000But that's not your job to make the call that we should just be taking resources out from getting Canadian citizens out of Afghanistan to get people that you share a similar religious common cause with.
00:13:04.220Here's Harjit Sajjan trying to, you know, bat away this story, even though it's obviously very credible.
00:13:11.200It's from Robert Fyfe and Stephen Chase at the Globe and Mail, two guys who, if they're good at anything in this life, it is investigative journalism.
00:13:18.980You said it directed the military to help a group of Afghanis Sikhs during the Afghanistan evacuation in 2021.
00:13:26.540What's the difference from directing and ordering the military to do this?
00:13:30.200Okay, let me address the Globe article quite directly, because I'll be honest with you, it was utter BS.
00:13:35.360Those who were following the evacuation missions and then events previously to that know quite well that there was an approved government policy to safely evacuate as many vulnerable Afghans as possible,
00:13:51.160which included obviously Canadians first, those who worked with us like our interpreters.
00:13:59.100Why are you, why did Sikh Afghanis even rank in the top 10 things that we were supposed to be doing on the ground?
00:14:05.400Because there was a lot of Canadians that got left behind, people who could, who either did or could get killed because of Sajjan's inaction,
00:14:13.920or because of his actual intervention in preventing our troops from getting those people out.
00:14:20.540And just a bit of a tell that he gave here that he's lying.
00:14:24.380Whenever I find that politicians start swearing, it's probably because they're being dishonest.
00:14:29.660Whenever people start using, you know, four letter words, it's because they're trying to show how like emotionally passionate I am in denying this allegation.
00:14:38.560And when the person can't just say, yeah, no, that's silly.
00:14:41.080I can give you some sources and, you know, military people on the ground to tell you that that didn't happen.
00:14:46.400When someone just starts saying that's BS, that's a complete lie, slander, you know, bleep this and bleep that, they're usually lying.
00:14:53.800And I'm going to get to some stuff later that also proves that Sajjan has a bit of a tendency to lie.
00:14:58.900And it also included vulnerable Afghans, which included religious minorities like the Afghan Sikhs and Hindus.
00:15:07.880And I can assure you all effort was done to carry this out and do it in a safe as possible manner and to get as many people out as possible as well.
00:15:20.040And I also want to just mention the fact, you know, to read that story and to take some of these questions, given that it was a approved government policy that we were executing.
00:15:30.560I'll be honest with you, I didn't think I would be getting those questions if I wasn't wearing a turban.
00:15:35.520And those who actually know me, know me quite well that, you know, you're being asked because you did something that was out of step with the military's mission.
00:15:47.940And let's say we are in Nagaland, India.
00:15:50.680It has a large Baptist Christian population.
00:15:54.180And we were trying to get out 50 Canadians, just 50 Canadian citizens.
00:15:58.060And we had troops on the ground trying to get them out of some situation or some, you know, some communist revolution was taking place.
00:16:04.340And I start diverting troops in order to try and get Nagaland Baptists out of India.
00:16:11.220Do you think I wouldn't get questions about whether I, for some reason, have some, like, loyalty to people from my religious background over Canadian citizens when I'm explicitly there to try and save Canadian citizens?
00:16:23.940That would be an open and honest question.
00:16:25.800It has nothing to do with him having a turban.
00:16:27.920And him bringing up just ends up proving he's a complete dullard for thinking that this was going to get him out of, you know, out of scrutiny to just bring up the idea that, oh, do you think I'm, like, are you questioning me only because I'm wearing a turban?
00:16:39.160No, and if anything, you're actually proving that we don't, why we don't trust you.
00:16:44.280Because you keep bringing up irrelevant stuff like you wearing a turban and the fact that, like, I've served this country for a long time.
00:16:51.640Throughout my careers and my service, I've rarely ever even talked about racism and what it actually meant.
00:16:58.060But I'll be honest with you, you know, it needs to be called out.
00:17:01.160And the reason being, just last night, my daughter was not even aware of just articles that come out.
00:17:07.940And she, on her own, was talking about the visceral hatred.
00:17:34.020Yeah, to put it mildly, Harjip Sajjan, I was going to say something else, but he's not, he doesn't have any credibility on this issue.
00:17:44.400And I want to quickly jump over to what my friend Rahim Mohamed at the National Post had put on his X account today, saying if only there were warning signs about Sajjan.
00:17:54.600And he posts these headlines about him, and it says, BC Sikhs quit liberals to protest Justin Trudeau's star candidate.
00:18:03.340And it's because Harjip, sorry, I'm always bad with the name, Nijan has very close Kalistani connections.
00:18:11.460He is a very warm, he's a very warm person towards the radical Sikh, the Sikh separatist movement in India.
00:18:18.460Another one, Harjip Sajjan apologizes for claim about Afghan offensive.
00:18:23.460He basically lied and pretended that he was a key player in several different operations going on in Afghanistan that he had nothing to do with.
00:18:31.320We have Indian politicians accuse Minister Sajjan of being a Sikh nationalist, which he absolutely is.
00:18:36.300MPs vote to censure Sajjan over handling of sexual misconduct in the armed forces.
00:18:40.800It's almost like he's not a credible person.
00:18:43.020And yet, for some reason, he thinks it's enough that when the Globe and Mail article is brought up to him, written by two very good investigative journalists, that he can just kind of do this.
00:18:54.000And it's going to go like, oh, it was nothing, nothing to see here.
00:18:57.540There is very much something to see here.
00:18:59.520And the fact that he thinks that he can hand wave this away with just the generic boilerplate about intolerance and racism is ridiculous.
00:19:07.740Plus, if you know anything about the Kalistani movement that Sajjan is very friendly to, it is a very racist movement because they believe anyone not from their Sikh community is like dirty.
00:19:20.240And again, the vast majority of Sikh people are not Kalistani crazies, just as a member of any religious group is not part of the small fringe movement.
00:19:30.900They are a small fringe movement, and they tend to be very, you know, what my friend Daniel Boardman, who also hosts a show in the National Telegraph, sometimes says, is if you hang out with Kalistanis at all, there's a lot of slurs that get thrown around pretty quickly because they do see themselves as higher as everyone else.
00:19:50.420Sorry I'm slurring a lot in this video a little bit here.
00:19:52.720But something I do need to bring up, because it is important, and I am happy that Harrison Faulkner posted this, Harrison Faulkner over at True North, and this, considering the context that I was disqualified unfairly from my, in my candidacy for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination, and this guy's around, is concerning.
00:20:13.900But Harrison Faulkner highlighted this man who is running for the Conservative Party in a riding in British Columbia.
00:20:19.900Harrison Faulkner said, why did Conservative Party candidate Harjeet Singh Gill delete this tweet?
00:20:25.940We would all, we would all like to know whether Harjeet Singh Gill would also risk Canadian lives to rescue Afghan Sikhs over Canadian citizens.
00:20:33.760Because Harjeet Singh Gill posted this on X, which he quickly deleted, saying the Globe and Mail is racist, vile, and wrong for setting Canadian values against national interests.
00:20:44.180Canadian leaders, especially Minister Sajjan, had a duty to protect both, and he did that, and he did just that.
00:20:51.160And he tags in Stephen Chase, Robert Fyfe, and the Globe and Mail.
00:20:54.800So when I say, why is this man a Conservative Party candidate, it's not even just because of that.
00:21:01.100You could say that's a mistake, although he basically just showed, you know, mask off, I'm a massive Calistani, and I have more loyalty to another Calistani like Sajjan than I do to the Conservative Party and Conservative values.
00:21:12.380But the man literally ran for the NDP in the 2019 election.
00:21:17.460Why is this man running for the Conservative Party? Why?
00:21:20.500Like, I, I'm, I'm like constantly frustrated behind the scenes.
00:21:23.960I usually don't show it on the show here.
00:21:25.980But Pierre Polyev is the man who is probably going to become the next Prime Minister of Canada in 2025.
00:21:31.380And, you know, right on him, he's done the right things.
00:21:34.880He's taken stances on the right policies.
00:21:36.600But behind the scenes in the Conservative Party are some of the same people who lost the election in 2015, 2019, and 2021.
00:21:44.600And they're making the same stupid mistakes, picking stupid candidates like Harjit Singh Gill, who I guess they want him because he's a radio show host.
00:21:53.120He's complete, a complete flip-flopper on policy.
00:22:00.120He's literally backing up Sajjan because for some sort of like allegiance he feels towards him, when Sajjan himself is obviously a Calistani and obviously did something deeply immoral in Afghanistan.
00:22:12.280And for some reason, this guy's still allowed to run.
00:22:17.640Garrett Van Dorlen isn't allowed to run in Oxford.
00:22:20.720There's tons of people who have been disallowed who, even if I agree or disagree with them on certain policies, they were good candidates.
00:22:27.340They were actually people who local members would want and Canadians as a whole would not be like kind of squint at you wondering why you had this guy running for you.
00:22:35.500So this is an example where, guys, some tough love in the Conservative Party.
00:22:40.080You've got to make sure that you're not kicking people out of nominations for doing nothing wrong and then putting a guy like that in a riding in British Columbia who obviously is kind of looking like he's compromised.
00:22:52.620So good thing Harrison Faulkner from True North posted that.
00:22:55.260And, you know, I always like it when people from Conservative outlets are willing to go out and say, guys, Conservative Party, I like your policies, but please don't screw this up on behalf of trying to collect a few more Sikh votes in this riding because this guy's popular in the Sikh community.
00:23:10.600It could obviously, in that riding, be another Sikh candidate.
00:23:17.900But before I move on to the last story I want to cover today, I just quickly want to plug WyattClaypool.com.
00:23:24.440I have that linked in the description of this video below, or you can obviously just type into Google WyattClaypool.com.
00:23:30.820Sign up to my campaign organizing list.
00:23:33.240Although I was not allowed to run in the Signal Hill nomination, I'm trying to make sure that I recommend good candidates around the rest of the country.
00:23:40.980So that regardless of what part of the country you guys are in, even if I don't live in your area, I can still check in on races going on in different provinces and different ridings and be able to give you guys recommendations for who I think is a good candidate.
00:23:54.060Or you can even reach out to me and recommend who you think is a good candidate in your area.
00:23:58.720I can find who's also in that postal code and then also sort of pass on the information that you give me.
00:24:04.180I want this to be kind of a collective campaign organizing platform.
00:24:07.120So check that out. And then you can also donate to the legal fund that I have going on Give, Send, Go.
00:24:12.400If you appreciate this show, please, you know, help support our legal fund so that whenever people come after us, we can actually fight back and not have to scrounge for every dollar that we have in our personal lives in order to fight off these like ridiculous lawsuits.
00:24:27.900Anyways, so I want to move on to this final story going on in Ontario that proves why I don't like Premier Doug Ford.
00:24:37.120Doug Ford, like my co-host Daniel Bordman says, is pretty much these days just fat Trudeau.
00:24:42.900He's a man who really has no conservative instincts or principles.
00:24:47.320He effectively just buys votes through massive subsidy programs the exact way Justin Trudeau does.
00:24:52.140He refused to do any reforming of the Ontario curriculum.
00:24:55.920Even the good, a fantastic conservative MP, Jamil Giovanni, who replaced Aaron O'Toole in Durham, has been calling out Ford since he got elected in Durham, which I praise him for.
00:25:07.280That's amazing that he became a conservative party MP and he's taking the honeymoon period of his time in office to slam Doug Ford for being a terrible conservative.
00:25:15.900But he's going after them because they haven't gotten rid of the just over-the-top sex ed curriculum.
00:25:20.720They haven't gotten spending under control.
00:25:22.320Spending is way higher than it was even under Kathleen Wynne.
00:25:25.540Everything is just becoming a big subsidy program.
00:25:28.660Everything in Ontario has gotten worse.
00:25:31.340And it's not gotten worse in like a unique way, but Doug Ford has just extended the same stupid programs that Kathleen Wynne has.
00:25:37.560We're subsidizing green energy programs, we're subsidizing battery factories, EV factories, fake jobs that wouldn't exist unless the Ontario government and the Canadian government were shilling out hundreds of millions of dollars to create those fake jobs.
00:25:51.960And so I already don't have a lot of respect for Doug Ford.
00:25:55.020And then this morning, he kicks out a great MPP from his caucus, Goldie Gamari, for having appeared in a video with Tommy Robinson.
00:26:04.960And I'm going to get to Tommy Robinson in just a bit here, but I think Kirk Lubimov, I know Kirk and I can never say his name correctly, his last name Lubimov.
00:26:16.680Kirk posted this and I think it was a good summation of what went on.
00:26:19.840He said, Doug Ford is a spineless coward.
00:26:22.460Ford removes Goldie Gamari from the Ontario PC caucus because of her phone chat with Tommy Robinson.
00:26:28.660It is, it wasn't obvious before by Ford rolling over and weak stance on the terrorist flag waivers and Hamas mobs on the streets of Ontario.
00:26:36.740It should be obvious now that Ford's government and his inner circle are influenced by Islamists and extremists.
00:26:42.340Just look at who will be celebrating this.
00:26:45.060And this statement from Doug Ford reads, so I'll back this off a little bit here.
00:26:49.820He says, today the Premier has made the decision to remove MPP Goldie Gamari from the Ontario PC caucus effective immediately.
00:26:57.600This decision falls to repeated instances of serious lapses in judgment and a failure to collaborate constructively with caucus leadership and as a team member.
00:27:07.100While this decision does not come easily, it has become clear that MPP Gamari can no longer continue to enroll within our caucus.
00:27:13.880It's because he's not a complete tool.
00:28:33.660He reports on basically abuses of illegal migrants in England.
00:28:37.480He is actually a very good man when you actually look at his record.
00:28:41.100He is one of the best, most improved people probably on the political landscape from being the EDL leader to basically being an anti-hatred activist.
00:28:49.400And not like anti-hate in like anti-hate.ca where they basically just go after anyone on the right for vaguely even being next to somebody in a photograph.
00:28:58.840No, but he's actually against real hatred and bigotry.
00:29:20.440And I hope if any of you are out there in Ontario, please join the New Blue Party of Ontario.
00:29:26.340Basically, the New Blue Party of Ontario is being run by Jim Karahalios, is effectively being run to try and fulfill the promises that the PC party made in 2018 and completely walked away from.
00:29:36.840It's about cutting taxes, getting, you know, repealing the crazy sex ed curriculum they have, reforming the curriculum in the province, getting rid of the stupid green energy subsidies to actually lower power bills.
00:29:47.060All this stuff cracking down on this type of extremism that Goldie Gamari was standing up to.
00:29:52.600That's what the New Blue Party exists for.
00:29:55.720I hope Goldie considers joining the New Blue Party of Ontario, because it definitely is probably the only small party vehicle that could actually probably undermine the PC party at this point and take away a lot of its support.
00:30:08.600This should be Doug Ford's Kevin Falcon moment, that Doug Ford thought he was way up in the polls.
00:30:15.860He can unilaterally get rid of any MPP he doesn't like, and it's never going to come back to bite him.
00:30:20.820And I urge you, don't say, well, I don't want the Liberals, the NDP to win.
00:30:25.620Doug Ford, and I don't like when people over, you know, like, exaggerate and they say, well, this person is exactly like the Liberals because they agree on one point.
00:30:37.080Doug Ford truly is, like Kevin Falcon, effectively interchangeable with a left-wing party leader.
00:30:42.640The only reason that Doug Ford won such a big re-election in 2022 was because the Liberals and the NDP were completely pathetic with their two leaders.
00:30:51.700Doug Ford, if he actually comes up against a tough Liberal Party and a tough NDP party, he will lose.
00:30:57.240So it's actually time for the PC party to get smacked upside the head and for people to migrate over to the new blue party to either force the PCs to actually reform or to then replace the PC government with the new blue party if they're unwilling to actually shape up and fly right.
00:31:15.260So if you're in Ontario, check out the new blue party.
00:31:18.240I will be putting their URL in the description of the video below.
00:31:22.700They actually have EDAs in every single riding.
00:31:24.920They just got over a policy convention.
00:31:27.420It's a small party that's actually run efficiently, unlike the PPC, who has EDAs constantly being deregistered because no one's even filing their financial paperwork.
00:31:36.420This party actually has elected some city councillors in different ridings with their organizing power, and hopefully in the future they'll be able to elect MPPs, although obviously the bigger the office is, the harder that is to pull off.
00:31:49.340But, you know, I have a lot of hope for them.
00:31:51.560Well, that should be enough for me today on the Why Claypool Show here.
00:31:55.380Sorry if this episode seemed a bit muddled and ranty, but I was feeling a bit muddled and ranty today.
00:32:00.280I guess watching Joe Biden debate Donald Trump has, like, infected me, and so I'm mumbling a lot now.
00:32:05.180But if you want to donate to my legal fund, the Give, Send, Go link is in the description below.
00:32:10.900Sign up at my website if you want to be on the organizing list.
00:32:15.860And then again, the New Blue Party link is in the description below.
00:32:19.200If you want to click on that, read about the party, and consider joining, I think that if they see a membership spike, at the very least, that will cause Doug Ford to reconsider some of his actions, which have been mostly bad.
00:32:31.320He's basically act as a bag man for Justin Trudeau.
00:32:34.020So just look at his quotes about Justin Trudeau.
00:32:37.460He says that the prime minister is doing a fantastic job before the 2021 election, calls Chrystia Freeland his therapist, and he has been bear-hugging that government.
00:32:46.460There's not even a liberal premier in the country who is tied closer to Justin Trudeau than Doug Ford.
00:32:53.640David Eby and him, I guess, would be in a knife fight to see who likes Justin Trudeau better than the other.
00:32:58.580So hopefully, guys, if you're in Ontario, you'll find your way over to the New Blue Party website.
