In another massive comms failure by the Liberal Party of Canada, in an attempt to attack
00:00:05.140
Pierre Polyev's Conservatives on the record of crime, the Liberals ended up just highlighting
00:00:12.960
For some reason, over the month of December, because of this voting marathon that happened
00:00:17.300
where the Conservatives had stated that they were going to oppose every single bill that
00:00:22.120
the Liberals put up unless they put a pause on the carbon tax for home heating, the Liberals
00:00:26.720
have been pretending that this now means that they can post about how the Conservatives
00:00:30.500
oppose every single good thing in the world because technically the Conservatives voted
00:00:34.860
against it or opposed it, even though they stated why they were doing so.
00:00:39.240
It's not working, and this post highlights why it's not working, because when you keep
00:00:43.860
accusing the Conservatives of being bad on some issues, it means that voters are going
00:00:47.720
to evaluate your own performance on the issues.
00:00:53.460
It reads, just this month, Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives voted to cut funding to
00:00:57.980
combat gun and gang violence, will continue standing up for Canadians and stopping Conservative
00:01:04.820
Also, the Conservatives didn't vote to cut anything.
00:01:07.760
They were not in charge of the legislation coming up for votes in the Parliament, and all
00:01:12.440
the Liberal votes were in order to increase funding of something or to divert money to another
00:01:18.380
And the Conservatives just opposed it, saying that we will support it if you put a pause
00:01:25.800
So the Conservatives never actually voted in favor of cuts because cuts were never what
00:01:31.860
Regardless, whoever posted this from the Liberal Party, whoever strategized that they should
00:01:41.240
I'm running for the Conservative Party nomination for Calgary Signal Hill.
00:01:46.480
I have the description for my campaign, or the link to my campaign website in the description
00:01:52.220
But anyways, whoever posted this needs to be fired.
00:01:55.420
And even though I'm a Conservative, I'll at least give the Liberals some advice as to
00:02:01.940
Because as soon as you post something like that, the typical voter, someone who's not
00:02:05.840
even that engaged in politics, is just going to sit back and think, well, what are you guys
00:02:11.360
Well, didn't you guys lower a bunch of mandatory minimums?
00:02:14.720
Haven't you guys been the ones not actually trying to keep people, like granting bail to
00:02:27.060
You guys passed two bills that lowered minimums and reduced penalties for committing crimes while
00:02:36.460
That's what you never post stuff that makes your own, it gives your opposition or the
00:02:41.800
average voter, you know, room to look through your own backyard.
00:02:46.760
Although to be fair, if the Liberals were to avoid issues that they had a bad record on
00:02:51.360
because they don't want the Conservatives or just people out on the internet to counterpunch
00:02:55.260
them, they could effectively talk about no issues because they failed on all fronts.
00:03:02.440
And I just want to highlight a few statistics to go through what the Liberals' record on
00:03:06.720
crime has wrought, just through Statistics Canada here.
00:03:10.460
So that reads here that violent crime has risen by 5% over the year 2022, following a 6% increase
00:03:23.380
Obviously, people were in lockdown, so they weren't actually able to go out and commit
00:03:27.760
crimes or it would have been riskier to commit crimes because it's harder to, you know, commit
00:03:31.900
a crime when you're the only one on the streets and police can immediately get to wherever you're
00:03:36.880
But the fact that we have been having year on year increases in crime, I've literally been
00:03:41.440
doing a report on crime in the city of Toronto in the background of the show.
00:03:47.820
And since Trudeau took office, almost exactly when he took office in 2015, we've been having
00:03:52.720
a few to like a 1% to like 5%, 6% increase in crime, I think even higher on some years,
00:03:59.120
every single year since he took office in 2015.
00:04:03.620
And it has been a direct result of Supreme Court rulings, as well as a Liberal Party
00:04:08.820
legislation that takes crime far less seriously, that reduces mandatory minimums for gang
00:04:17.880
And they have the, like, gall to try and go after the Conservatives on gun violence issues.
00:04:24.020
It's because the Conservatives supposedly don't want to confiscate assault-style weapons.
00:04:32.360
And two, law-abiding gun owners are one-third as likely to commit a violent crime compared to
00:04:39.280
The law-abiding gun owners are not only not the problem, they are the antithesis of the
00:04:44.340
problem, they are those who are definitely not committing crimes.
00:04:48.460
It is gang members and other criminals who the Liberals are letting get away with their
00:04:53.620
crimes who are the major cause of gun violence.
00:04:56.920
Who buys a gun registered to themselves to commit crimes?
00:05:01.020
That's a stupid crime, which is why nobody pretty much does it.
00:05:06.920
But the Liberals, for some reason, think that you're just going to read this post and think,
00:05:11.860
wow, the Conservatives are trying to cut funding to combat gun violence and gun crime?
00:05:18.400
Nobody's actually going to think that, unless you're the most hardcore, true-and-on liberal
00:05:22.320
who thinks Trudeau can do no wrong, even if Trudeau admits he did something wrong.
00:05:28.220
Trudeau's admitted he did something wrong, and the true-and-on folks are still trying to
00:05:35.540
I just want to highlight a couple more of these statistics, because I do like the way
00:05:42.120
One government department, if I was in government, I would not cut anything to.
00:05:46.480
I wish they actually had a better budget so they could make better graphics, but budget
00:06:04.300
And I hate the way that the left talks about nonviolent crime, shoplifting, loitering,
00:06:12.800
They act like they're all victimless crimes because no one got physically hurt.
00:06:16.960
Retail theft, all this drug use that happens in the downtown cores of our cities, those destroy
00:06:27.920
It is the most dumb correlation ever to think that because someone's poor, they're committing
00:06:34.400
Every criminal is technically poor because no one wants to employ them because they're
00:06:39.200
It's actually, in fact, that crime drives poverty.
00:06:42.760
Go to areas with high crime, and it's always going to be that there's no businesses there.
00:06:48.180
There's crazy amounts of theft, so who in their right mind would try and sell anything when
00:06:52.480
you have to have so many extra security features and whatnot?
00:06:56.580
Our prices went up significantly because of crime, because of all the extra measures we
00:07:02.240
had to take in order to try and prevent it or in order to raise prices to make up for
00:07:09.880
There's a reason why you can find poorer neighborhoods where nobody commits crime because
00:07:15.600
It's all about character and social stability, and the liberals have been doing great work
00:07:20.280
in destabilizing Canada's social bonds as well as making people poorer, and then they're
00:07:26.340
saying that, well, it's obviously poverty that's causing crime.
00:07:28.740
Well, if it is poverty, stop taxing people so much.
00:07:32.880
They're illogic when it comes to the crime issue.
00:07:36.300
But anyways, I just want to highlight that incredibly dumb post.
00:07:39.700
It's great to see that they're being bit for it.
00:07:42.980
I don't think I showed the statistics in that tweet, but yeah, every comment's like, you
00:07:47.820
guys realize that you reduce mandatory minimums for illegal weapon possession.
00:07:52.440
There was so many people saying, hey, hasn't crime been going up?
00:07:57.180
Hey, haven't you guys been literally not enforcing the law through these really loose
00:08:03.900
Everyone knows that they're full of crap on this.
00:08:08.260
I have my usual give, send, go link in the description of the video.
00:08:13.320
I'm being sued by a billionaire on behalf of the National Telegraph because we do good
00:08:19.660
We are entirely, all the facts are on our side.
00:08:23.520
They specifically sued me in Alberta instead of Daniel Boardman in Ontario because Alberta
00:08:29.100
does not have anti-slap rules, which means that I can't file for this lawsuit to be thrown
00:08:34.560
I have to grind through it for a few years before I can apply to get it thrown out of
00:08:42.220
So if you want to donate $5, $10, any amount of money in order to help me pay for this stuff,
00:08:48.960
Other than that, you can like, share, or subscribe.
00:08:53.500
It ends up increasing revenue, increasing eyes on the channel.
00:08:57.320
And then also, of course, like I said before, I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative
00:09:02.140
So if you live in Calgary Signal Hill, definitely buy a membership.
00:09:07.220
Make sure your family has memberships who live in the area so you can vote for me number
00:09:12.120
Even if you don't live in Calgary Signal Hill, make sure you know which riding you live in
00:09:16.140
federally, provincially, and which ward you live in in your city or town.
00:09:19.220
It's very important to know where you are geographically in terms of your standing in politics so that
00:09:24.720
you're more effective in knowing sort of what the on-the-ground issues are so that you can
00:09:33.540
You can go after left-wing politicians who might be in your area.
00:09:36.780
You can try and put in better conservative nominees into your riding if there's a nomination
00:09:42.700
Always make sure you look up who the candidates are.
00:09:45.040
Make sure you engage because if you don't engage, you can't whine about what happens in
00:09:49.300
Other than that, I hope everyone has a fantastic day.
