The Liberal Party has voted against adopting a formal process to eject their leader should the need arise, which is utterly absurd. Also, the House of Commons is only going to sit for 73 days this year, the fewest since 1937.

Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. There must be some sort of religious commitment people make
00:00:06.120
to be in the Liberal Party that dedicates them to not learning from any mistakes made.
00:00:12.660
The Liberal Party, after mulling over potentially using the Reform Act last week,
00:00:17.940
has now voted to not use it. This Global News article reports Liberal Caucus Chair James Maloney
00:00:24.960
says, party MPs have voted against adopting a formal process to eject their leader should the
00:00:30.580
need arise. And that's the problem. Should the need arise is a very key thing to remember. It's not
00:00:37.880
like they're voting to get rid of Mark Carney now, but they should have the power to do it.
00:00:42.900
And I'll link that article in the description below and pin it in the comments. It's absurd.
00:00:48.460
There are like Liberal MPs that actually kind of surprised me, like Ryan Turnbull,
00:00:52.500
who is arguing in favor of using the Reform Act. And then you'll have like other members of
00:00:58.020
caucus saying, I think we're actually already good enough holding each other accountable.
00:01:02.680
It's like, what excuse is there to not use the Reform Act other than Mark Carney doesn't want any
00:01:09.340
rules applied to him. He just wants to be able to do whatever he wants, you know, and screw you.
00:01:15.200
That's what the Reform Act basically is, is that MPs themselves in caucus can basically vote
00:01:21.960
Mark Carney out if he starts absolutely going insane. Like if he starts doing stupid stuff the
00:01:27.740
way Justin Trudeau was for a year and a half, making mistake after mistake after mistake,
00:01:32.660
and his popularity going down and down, there should be a way of formally basically voting that
00:01:38.400
we should vote to either get rid of him in caucus, or we should throw it to the members to vote whether
00:01:42.980
they want the leader to stay or go. Because this is like, what happened under Trudeau?
00:01:49.680
And you'll have MPs in this article say, we're good at holding each other accountable. We're good
00:01:55.640
at opening the kimono behind the scenes. And this and basically having all the problems talked about
00:02:02.060
I'm like, no, you're not because you guys couldn't get rid of Justin Trudeau. He just decided to walk
00:02:07.740
off into the snow at one point, because of how bad the leadership was. Everything was so bad in the
00:02:14.080
polls, the fundraising was so bad. Justin Trudeau eventually had to conclude that he had to leave.
00:02:19.540
And then they were able to pull an upset off with Mark Carney in the election. And now the liberals
00:02:24.040
are sitting around being like, let's do that again. Let's have no accountability. Let's have
00:02:28.660
no ability to stop this guy. If he just decides he wants to engage in massive corruption, and just
00:02:37.500
And they're going to let him act like a dictator again. It's just like Justin Trudeau. They're
00:02:45.180
going to let him do whatever he wants, just constantly shuffle people out of a cabinet who
00:02:50.440
he doesn't like, who complains about him. And then if there's any real problems, they just
00:02:55.260
have to hope that Mark Carney will eventually step down.
00:02:57.320
Well, there are other issues today I want to talk about. One is the fact that apparently
00:03:04.700
guys, after this very consequential election, Parliament is barely going to sit. And yeah,
00:03:10.760
technically, a bunch of the year has already been eaten up by the election and whatnot.
00:03:15.660
I don't think that's an excuse. If anything, that should make them want to pack the rest of
00:03:20.280
a year full of sittings for the Parliament. But for the rest of the year, which is the
00:03:26.040
entire year in Parliament, because we haven't had a sitting yet, the House of Commons is scheduled
00:03:30.440
to sit just 73 days this year, the fewest since 1937. What? Like, this? Why? I thought we
00:03:41.120
just got through a consequential election, and we're in a crisis, and Mark Carney is here to
00:03:48.560
save us. He's here to, like, you know, get in there in government and fix the problems.
00:03:52.880
I don't know, 73 days. Just, you know, a few weeks, just a few weeks of sitting, and that's
00:03:58.900
all we need. Like, let people actually just open it up for the entire year. Show you're
00:04:04.000
transparent. By the way, the government doesn't need to have important votes all the time.
00:04:08.240
So you can just open Parliament and have business running all the time, even if only half of
00:04:13.020
MPs are showing up. But it allows questions to be asked. It allows committees to function.
00:04:17.740
It allows people to put forward their own private legislation. But I guess we're not going to do
00:04:23.540
that. It's so, this is just obnoxious to me. Oh, no, no, no, we need Carney to get through this,
00:04:29.020
like, this crisis. You'd hear during the election, oh, Mark Carney's the man to fight back against
00:04:34.840
Donald Trump, the Americans. All the problems in the country are serious, and we need a serious
00:04:39.440
leader like Mark Carney to steadily bring us through the storm. And then he gets in, doesn't want the
00:04:45.240
reform act, doesn't want to do any of the reforms that would have prevented a lot of the excesses
00:04:49.240
of Justin Trudeau. And now we'll kind of sit, I have a vacation to go on. They're not even going
00:04:55.220
to sit through the summer. They're going to, like, do a couple weeks or whatever, like a week in the
00:04:59.100
summer. And then they're just going to be like, well, we're just going to take the summer off,
00:05:02.940
because we usually take the summer off. Usually, I thought this was not a usual year. But apparently,
00:05:09.060
we can just take a summer break off in the middle of what is a crisis, apparently, that we need Mark
00:05:15.620
Carney to. My prediction here, and it's not going to be very surprising or shocking or, oh, that's a
00:05:21.420
novel idea, Wyatt. Mark Carney is going to rule as much as possible through orders and counsel. He will
00:05:29.020
obviously at times have to push through legislation, but this guy is just going to act through the pen.
00:05:34.640
He already did it with spending $33 billion into the various departments, signing them $33 billion
00:05:41.560
of spending, which the CBC said, no, no, no, that's just to bridge the gap before he passes
00:05:47.580
his budget, presumably. And then he didn't do that, and he announced, yeah, we're not going to put out
00:05:52.500
a budget until next year. And then when that got enough pushback, he said fall. But he can always
00:05:58.080
just make up another excuse not to do it in the fall and do it next year, because he's already been
00:06:02.420
making excuses up to this point. Why is this excuse and this fake date going to be any more real than
00:06:07.900
the rest of it? It's all so dumb. He's going to continually do things in the background, pass,
00:06:14.620
like, impose tariffs and then take off tariffs just through, you know, this pen, just do things for
00:06:21.520
show and then get rid of it at the last moment. Like, again, he did during the election, running on
00:06:26.460
the idea, oh, I'm counter-tariffing the Americans. And then on, like, the thing like the 15th of March
00:06:31.980
or whatever, or the 15th of May just gets rid of it. It wasn't, it was, it was March, not May,
00:06:36.860
or April or whatever. He just gets rid of all the tariffs in the middle of the election, then
00:06:40.860
continues saying, oh, I put counter-tariffs on them. Like, yeah, maybe there's, like, a tariff left
00:06:46.100
on, like, really specific products. But it was not what anyone would have assumed to be, like,
00:06:51.620
a big countermeasure. If anything, we've always been taking countermeasures because we have the
00:06:55.700
supply management system that imposes massive dairy, softwood, lumber tariffs, other sorts
00:07:01.180
of, like, manufactured good tariffs on the U.S. in order to protect certain industries
00:07:05.540
in Canada. It's all so tiring. But I have to bring up this thing. It's so stupid. I have
00:07:12.620
to bring up this one post because sometimes I just like to bring up stuff where it's not
00:07:16.800
really worth a video, but I just have to talk about it. Some people's lack of knowledge
00:07:21.040
about Canadian politics is, like, maddening. There's this one guy, Roddy, who, it is an
00:07:27.620
anonymous account, but it's a fairly popular anonymous account that's pro-liberal. He says
00:07:32.600
here, the Liberal Party of Canada, three election wins, leader resigns. The CPC, four election
00:07:38.440
losses, nope, he's our guy. Is he actually under the impression that Pierre Polyev has lost
00:07:45.060
four elections? The Conservatives have usually gotten their leaders to step down. Harper stepped
00:07:51.680
down after he lost in 2015, then Scheer stepped down after 2019, and then O'Toole stepped down
00:07:58.720
after 2021. Polyev is only going to survive simply because he actually wields a lot more charisma
00:08:05.800
than the average Conservative leader that has come before him. Scheer and O'Toole and Harper,
00:08:11.640
when they lost, there really wasn't much left other than, because the promise was they could
00:08:16.900
win, and that was really kind of it. And if they can't win, what's the point in keeping them around?
00:08:22.000
Where you can say Pierre Polyev has actually done some real nation building inside the Conservative
00:08:26.100
Party and actually made something, like, you know, made it tougher over time. They need to get rid of
00:08:31.740
Jenny Byrne, like, ASAP. They need to get rid of some of the really bad HQ staff that I think let
00:08:37.020
down Pierre Polyev basically ran a lackluster campaign for him, told all of their grassroots
00:08:43.140
candidates, don't be grassroots. Basically, just sit at home or doorknock, do nothing. Don't go to
00:08:48.880
any events. Don't go to debates. Don't put out your own literature. We'll tell you exactly what to say.
00:08:53.600
That's why they ended up losing. Polyev, in fact, was very controlled by Jenny Byrne, and you can even
00:08:59.100
tell by a lot of his, you know, media appearances, a lot of his rallies. Unlike the leadership race,
00:09:06.260
he started just kind of repeating the same thing over and over again. And during the leadership
00:09:10.420
race, obviously, he had a stump speech that he'd repeat, but he'd go off on tangents and he'd talk
00:09:14.900
about stuff. And during the election, Jenny Byrne and the JB and Associates people that staffed up
00:09:21.660
headquarters for the Conservative Party basically just said, talk about only the blandest issues no one
00:09:26.480
could disagree with. And then they did that, and they didn't win because they needed some oomph.
00:09:32.640
They needed some, you know, audacious policy that got people talking, and they ran on a 15% tax cut
00:09:39.460
under $50,000. No, you run on a 15% tax cut for every bracket, and you lower corporate taxes by 20%.
00:09:47.180
And then when the other guys attack you as being too corporate, you go after them and say, so you want
00:09:52.040
our businesses to get out-competed by the Americans? Because that's basically what they're saying by not
00:09:56.620
wanting tax relief. Run on a big audacious policy on social issues, a parental bill of rights. We are
00:10:03.980
going to run on something to protect your parental rights. We're going to run on some soft pro-life
00:10:09.400
policies to ban sex-selective abortion and to increase criminal sentencing for killing a pregnant
00:10:14.740
woman because the liberals literally voted against the latter of that, which is insane. So run on that
00:10:19.800
stuff. It would polarize people in your direction. But now I'm just going on a tangent. But this National
00:10:24.600
Post article says, Polyev looks to move past election loss, show conservatives as a government
00:10:29.920
in waiting. And I don't, this is really what Polyev said. This is probably his office. No, don't be the
00:10:36.380
government in waiting. That is the tactic that the conservatives have gone with for previous
00:10:41.520
elections. It doesn't work. And this is to say, stop doing these weird put-ons where no, no, no. Now
00:10:47.940
in this scene, I will be the government in waiting. Just do your job day to day. And this is
00:10:54.440
because Polyev, you could say before the last election, maybe was too aggressive. He should
00:10:59.080
have let his opponents make a mistake. Never interrupt your enemy when they're in the middle
00:11:03.440
of making a mistake. Maybe there's a couple tactical errors. I hate this idea that no, no,
00:11:07.780
no. He was too aggressive before, which I don't even agree with. I think it's just needed to be
00:11:12.200
better placed at certain times. Like when Justin Trudeau was super unpopular, just leave him alone.
00:11:17.180
Just let him stick around. Don't put pressure on him to leave. Don't let the liberals correct their
00:11:21.960
mistake with Justin Trudeau. But the problem with that wasn't just that they were being
00:11:26.920
aggressive overall. The aggression was very good at times. The attack dog pose, not pose,
00:11:33.300
but the attack dog kind of function that Pierre Polyev usually fills was very good when parliament
00:11:39.440
was still in session and he was hammering Justin Trudeau day after day in QP. That was very good.
00:11:44.480
I don't want now for the Conservative Party to shift. And now we all act like parody versions of
00:11:50.300
elder states and we're like, I don't like what the liberals did there. I hope someone elects us one
00:11:57.080
day. Well, do something big. I would always just say, do something big. The problem was there's too
00:12:03.320
much criticism and not enough. Here's my big vision solution. Always have a big vision solution.
00:12:10.100
Don't be like, they're messing it up. The country's broken. I'll simply adjust the taxes down like a
00:12:14.380
little bit. That will fix it just a little bit. You got to be big. Be big. If the problems,
00:12:20.480
the country are big, be big. If anything, Mark Carney did that well during the federal election.
00:12:25.160
Even though he's a complete phony, he pretended like he was air rushing down the mountains of
00:12:31.020
change. Like he's a fresh breath of air for Canada. He's going to do big things for us.
00:12:36.480
And the Conservatives just kind of really ran on change. It was just, we need change for a change
00:12:42.480
or whatever the slogan was. And it just didn't work. It didn't connect with people because it was
00:12:47.040
just, there was no big policy keystone that held it all together. There was no massive tax cut or
00:12:54.360
massive regulatory reduction. They even kind of backed off getting rid of CBC because they're like,
00:12:59.540
well, Radio Canada is popular in Quebec, so we don't want to touch it. Well, guess what? You're not
00:13:04.680
going to win Quebec ridings outside the ones you already have. So just go for it. Just say you're
00:13:08.600
going to get rid of all of it because that might actually make more people turn out for you.
00:13:13.240
Now I'm just going into campaign manager mode again. Anyways, I'm actually, because I'm wearing
00:13:18.420
a sweater. I've never worn a sweater in these videos, guys. I'm heading off to Victoria in a
00:13:22.560
second here. I'm literally filming this in the five seconds I have before I have to get in the car and
00:13:26.520
go to the airport. But it's going to get crazy this next week. I'm going back to Victoria where I am
00:13:31.580
the most hated staffer in the entire province of British Columbia. It's not just because I'm an
00:13:37.880
outsider Albertan, but because a lot of the BC conservative people don't like that I'm helping the
00:13:42.240
independents out because, oh, like, I don't even know. They don't like me because they used to love me
00:13:48.540
and really they still do like me. Most of them actually just flat out like me. Like, most of the
00:13:53.460
conservative MLAs and staffers are totally fine with me. But a bunch of the, like, the more woke people
00:13:58.300
hate my guts because many of them may have not actually been elected without me and other more
00:14:03.220
conservative people helping get them elected. And then they really resent us now not continuing to
00:14:08.240
help them, even though they don't deserve it. And they flip-flopped on so many policies.
00:14:12.020
I'm going to have to do an entire video on the constant flip-flopping of the conservatives on this
00:14:17.680
one issue of UNDRIP and DRIPA. They are so beholden to the reconciliation consulting industry right
00:14:24.420
now. And they're pretending like they're not at this, but they cannot pull off pretending. They're
00:14:29.060
not even good at pretending that they're not in favor of this ongoing lobbyist industry of just
00:14:34.840
extracting taxpayer money on behalf of First Nations people, even though it's a bunch of like white
00:14:40.440
lawyers and consultants getting money to dispute fake disputes about land use and whatnot, when it
00:14:46.860
should just be public land. It should just be land where if it's a native person's land, let that
00:14:52.060
individual native person own it. Stop doing this nonsense where ban council owns it because it's
00:14:57.100
undermining my... I'm ranting. I'm ranting and I'll be back later. But like the video, subscribe the
00:15:03.820
channel, leave a comment, do something like that, guys, and I'll see you later.
