00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. So, Christy Freeland wants Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's job,
00:00:06.920 Christy Clark wants Trudeau's job, and this is going to be the whitest Liberal Party leadership
00:00:11.580 that we've ever seen, if it does go forward. And to talk about this today with me, I have
00:00:16.400 Brittany from Twitter, who doesn't actually have a last name, I've found out, for, I don't know,
00:00:23.840 Privacy reasons. Privacy reasons. Anyways, my goodness. So, if it wasn't bad enough for Justin
00:00:30.340 Trudeau that his party wants him to resign, they want to replace him, apparently, with either, like,
00:00:36.340 Christy Clark or Christia Freeland. And I don't know who this is appealing to whatsoever. Do you have
00:00:45.560 any good feelings about Christy? Like, Christy Clark, I don't think anyone does. Who cares?
00:00:50.420 Christy Freeland, do you have literally anything? She kind of destroyed a lot of things in BC,
00:00:55.160 from what I know. Yeah, yeah. And so, but that's Christy Clark. Yes. What do you, what do you even
00:00:59.600 think of when you think of, like, Christy Freeland? I think of someone who is super miserable and
00:01:08.020 is just going to, I mean, she, look at what she did with her finances. She doesn't know anything 0.99
00:01:13.200 about what she's doing. And she's just, I don't know. She reminds me of the type of person that if
00:01:20.460 you were, like, in middle school or something like that, or elementary, and you had some friends over
00:01:24.560 to your house, that she'd be the mom to walk into the room and tell your friend, oh, you didn't put
00:01:28.920 your shoes in the right place. She'd be, like, a tattletown, maybe. Yeah, well, no, more so,
00:01:34.600 like, she'd be, like, the mom who walks into the room and starts, like, lecturing a kid that's not
00:01:37.720 even her own, which is, like, every single speech I've ever seen her make. You know, Canadians know
00:01:42.660 that we're working hard for them and that the conservative leader is going to cut whatever,
00:01:47.460 whatever. It's literally the worst leadership lineup I've seen so far. And the thing is, it's not,
00:01:52.760 like, this is just rumored. Chandra Aria, the liberal MP, literally came out yesterday and he
00:01:58.240 said that, oh, she has the leadership skills to take us forward, and I think that would be good
00:02:02.680 for Trudeau to step down and just give it to her. Apparently, they don't want a leadership race or 1.00
00:02:07.560 anything like that. But, like, no, she's just bad. I only think of a sucking void of charisma 1.00
00:02:13.160 and apathy every time I think of Chrystia Freeland. She literally doesn't represent anything to me.
00:02:18.040 Every time she's talking, I'm like, who's this made for?
00:02:20.420 All she's doing is twitching in the background. 0.57
00:02:23.140 Oh, legitimately. Like, she honestly just seems like she's always acting, even harder than Justin
00:02:27.600 Trudeau, because I think Justin Trudeau, and I make people mad every once in a while when I say that
00:02:32.900 Trudeau actually has charisma. He's an idiot. He shouldn't be prime minister, but he has charisma.
00:02:39.120 There's a reason he did really well in 2015. I don't notice anything to do with charisma with
00:02:45.640 Chrystia Freeland. I've never seen her do anything likable. And then you have Chrystia
00:02:49.640 Clark, who, like, I don't really, that feels like a D-list pick for, like, a prime minister.
00:02:58.100 Let's just have the lady who failed as the premier of British Columbia. Maybe she's the 1.00
00:03:02.200 one who's going to revive our chances in Toronto and Montreal.
00:03:04.760 I don't see her being a good fit for that, either. And what happened with Mark Carney?
00:03:11.080 Oh, yeah. He got, like, chased away in, like, five seconds. Remember when he's supposedly going to be,
00:03:15.420 like, the second coming of Trudeau? Or him and also Sean Fraser, who also ran away?
00:03:20.060 He was going to be the guy that they were kind of making us believe was going to be the guy.
00:03:25.320 If you want a great test on whether or not you can be prime minister, have just something unexpected
00:03:31.480 happen, like what happened with Chrystia Freeland suddenly resigning rather than taking a lower
00:03:36.660 cabinet position, and see how you react. That was, like, the most, that was the smallest test that
00:03:42.260 could have been possibly put to Mark Carney. And he immediately would be like, I don't even know who
00:03:45.560 Justin Trudeau is. I don't want the job. I'm on vacation permanently forever. Don't contact me.
00:03:51.240 And it's like, okay, well, I think you're proving why you shouldn't be in government.
00:03:56.680 Basically, Freeland put out some press release, and then you run for the hills.
00:04:00.040 Yeah. Freeland, who I also don't feel bad for. I know that there's this whole trend now, like,
00:04:05.500 oh, a liberal minister got kicked out. Now they're a hero because they stood up to Trudeau.
00:04:10.520 No, she planned that whole thing.
00:04:13.340 And not only was it planned, like, so it wasn't like she just had a moment of bravery. It was
00:04:17.680 probably, like, focus grouped and all that. But, like, she was the one who helped him throw
00:04:21.620 people under the bus for years. Oh, absolutely. She's just as bad.
00:04:26.900 And then now it's like, oh, I can't believe I'm being treated so unfairly. The man I used
00:04:31.360 to help throw people under the bus with wants to throw me under the bus. Who could have seen
00:04:35.760 this coming, even though she literally got her position by throwing Bill Morneau under the bus 1.00
00:04:40.860 for a scandal, the weed charity scandal, that he wasn't even involved in. That was all Trudeau.
00:04:46.700 And Freeland was totally fine with making Bill Morneau the fall guy. And now that she's been
00:04:51.120 doing a very mediocre job as finance minister, she's, like, clutching her pearls that Justin 1.00
00:04:56.100 Trudeau wants her out. And, like, I get why you'd maybe be mad. She technically wasn't the one
00:05:00.960 messing things up. But she was because she was stupid enough to listen to Trudeau. That's like
00:05:05.260 listening to a five-year-old on, like, how you're going to, like, you know, manage your household
00:05:08.960 finances. It's not going to go well. But yeah. Putting her as finance minister was, like,
00:05:15.140 the dumbest thing that he could have done. Yeah. She doesn't have any background in finance.
00:05:20.660 She doesn't have, like, the fact that the goal... It's like making me the finance minister.
00:05:24.100 It's like making me... I don't even know. It's like making me the sports minister.
00:05:29.680 But the... I also don't... Here's the thing, too. Who else can you actually name to run for
00:05:38.120 Liberal leader if you needed somebody? Like, outside of... Christy Clark and Christy Freeland,
00:05:42.500 those aren't even picks for leader. They just happen to be wanting to run. But can you name
00:05:48.840 anyone else? Because that bench is so short in my mind. Randy or other Randy? You know what? I'd
00:05:56.200 actually... I'd appreciate it if he tried to go for it. At least that's interesting. At least people
00:05:59.800 know who he is. It'd be exciting. Like, remember when Sean Fraser was supposed to be, like, Justin
00:06:04.220 Trudeau 2.0? And except, like, in, like, I don't know, in exchange for him being taller than Trudeau,
00:06:10.580 he's, like, 6'3 or something like that. He also has, like, no personality. And now he's, like,
00:06:14.760 running away to maybe be, like, Nova Scotia Liberal leader or something like that. A party
00:06:18.920 with, like, two seats in Nova Scotia. So good job, Sean Fraser. There was, like, so many articles
00:06:24.220 and, like, cartoons and whatnot from, like, the Toronto Star and all those publications. Like,
00:06:28.540 oh, Sean Fraser's this new hot single on the market to be a prime minister. And it's, like,
00:06:32.960 no, he's not. He's just some guy who screwed up at being immigration minister. And then suddenly
00:06:37.220 he becomes housing minister. Like, hmm, who's this fresh-faced young fellow doing a great job in
00:06:41.860 housing? Like, he didn't. He literally didn't. If he was doing a great job, even in a bad
00:06:47.840 government, a minister who's doing a good job usually gets appreciated by the people who live
00:06:52.200 in their riding. Nova Scotia Centre is just 100% conservative at this point. Sean Fraser has no
00:06:57.020 chance. But moving on from there, it's, like, Dominic LeBlanc being leader. Like, I don't think
00:07:02.180 he's going to because he's showing he's a loyalist to Trudeau. Honestly, I don't know who I'd back for
00:07:06.780 leader. I'd back Mark Gerritsen. I was just going to say, you know who Kat would want. 0.93
00:07:10.620 Yeah. But I want him, too. Know why? Because he's interesting. He's at least interesting.
00:07:15.940 He would have to turn his comments back on. Yeah. Or he'll get sued. I think Ezra Lavant would like
00:07:22.020 it if he didn't turn them back on, because that would be funny that he gets to sue the prime,
00:07:25.700 like, the prime minister or, like, the liberal leader for not even letting people comment on
00:07:29.800 his posts. But, like, the thing is that the bench is so short. They actually started off with better
00:07:35.580 people in 2015. Like, not good people. It's still the liberal party. But, like, Jane Philpott,
00:07:41.860 Jody Wilson-Raybould, Bill Morneau, some of these other individuals actually had, like, you know,
00:07:47.060 qualities of, well, I don't agree with them, but that person seems like someone respectable. And then
00:07:52.900 they, like, lost all of them. And now it's, like, Arif Rani is the justice minister. Like, that's just
00:07:59.120 seems so funny to me. We went from Jody Wilson-Raybould to then, like, David Lamedi. And now
00:08:05.200 it's, like, Arif Rani who feels like someone's intern who just happened to be, like, the last
00:08:09.100 man standing. But, like, yeah. Someone told me they thought maybe, um, what's her name? Jolly
00:08:15.000 would go. Oh, Melanie Jolie? Jolly, yeah. And maybe she would go. I call her Jolly because
00:08:22.660 she doesn't look Jolly. Yeah. And maybe, but I'm going to say the most insulting thing in this
00:08:28.100 video. There are way too many women on the liberal front bench right now who, like, talk down to 1.00
00:08:33.220 people. Yeah. And it's, and it's, like, have you ever seen videos of Jenna Suds? No. She's the family
00:08:39.880 and child development minister. And every time she's talking, she's talking like she's asking
00:08:45.100 questions the entire time. Was she a teacher? I don't know. I don't feel like you'd survive kids
00:08:51.200 if you talk to kids like that. That's, like, what you think you should talk to kids like. You're
00:08:55.160 talking to small birds. Just. But that's how I feel, like, the liberals talk. Yeah. Like,
00:09:00.080 to people. They, they talk down to people, like, their children. And they're trying to,
00:09:04.160 like, okay, kids, now it's story time. It's such. Let's talk about this. And everything
00:09:08.760 just feels so fake and, um, just like, like a drama studio, basically. It doesn't feel like
00:09:17.100 they're speaking as adults. And the problem, a big problem for them is that it's marketing speak
00:09:24.440 that's gotten way too into the party. It's what consultants do when they take over communications.
00:09:28.940 People who don't actually communicate in political senses themselves. And they're, like, oh, we need 1.00
00:09:34.700 Canadians to know this. So, Christia, go out there and say Canadians know. Now, I mean, just say, like,
00:09:40.740 it's like they think, you know, it's like the, the, the phony art of manifestation. If we simply want
00:09:46.920 something enough, it will eventually happen. So, let's manifest Canadians liking us by saying Canadians know
00:09:52.300 that if you want to build a strong economy, you need strong social services too. And so,
00:09:57.660 that's why we burned $5 billion in a hole or something like that. And, uh, you know, like,
00:10:03.340 you know what? I'd actually, like, kind of respect Trudeau if he comes back in January and just starts,
00:10:07.540 like, swinging on every single policy. Like, just cuts immigration, cuts the carbon tax,
00:10:12.080 and just reverses course and just steals everything Paulie is doing. Yeah.
00:10:16.060 Do you think that what's going on in the Liberal Party right now is a mutiny against Trudeau? Or do
00:10:21.300 you think it's kind of more, like, what we saw a few months ago, like, smoke and mirrors?
00:10:27.420 I think half of them, like, they, they, their spines are still firmly stuck behind the couch and
00:10:32.040 they can't find them. And then the other ones who are signing letters, I think if, uh, they might try
00:10:37.060 and force them out. Here's the problem. In the Liberal Party, you can't force out the leader.
00:10:40.380 Literally at all. There's no way of forcing out the leader. There's no, members can't vote for a
00:10:45.920 leadership review. There's no, uh, caucus removal process. Like what happened to Aaron O'Toole and
00:10:52.000 the Conservative Party, they don't actually sign the Parliamentary, uh, Transparency Act, which
00:10:56.860 lets parties be more, like, transparently governed. It's literally all up to Trudeau. And so I don't even
00:11:02.660 know how Christy Clark and, uh, and Christy Freeland are even thinking that they're going to end up
00:11:07.020 becoming the leader. There's no process to force a leadership election to happen.
00:11:12.180 Unlike, like, I guess they just have to pressure Trudeau to, like, drop out or something like that.
00:11:16.080 Um, but you can't. And I think, I don't think he has, like, the shame that would have capable of
00:11:22.220 being, like, forced out or shamed. But it's fitting now that the two people that we know are going to
00:11:27.580 try and run for a Liberal leader have effectively the same name, Christy Freeland and Christy Clark.
00:11:32.200 Um, the, like, the Disney Plus lady and the former BC Premier. Like, that's all I can even think of
00:11:38.900 on this.
00:11:39.200 Maybe it would actually be good that people will, they'll think they're the same. So they won't,
00:11:45.140 they just will associate Chris, Christy, uh, or Christy Clark with Christy Freeland. Because
00:11:50.080 they'll just feel like the names are so similar that they'll just be like...
00:11:52.560 It's good for number one or number two votes if someone else jumps into the race. Because
00:11:55.480 you have to have that Christy, uh, Christy, uh, solidarity.
00:11:58.360 Yeah.
00:11:58.900 Oh my goodness. But I can't even, even when they shuffled the cabinet recently,
00:12:02.240 it's like a bunch of people. I'm like, I don't know who that is. I don't know who that is.
00:12:05.060 I don't know who a lot of them are. I'm still a baby in politics, so I'm just like...
00:12:09.640 I don't know who they are. And, like, I, like, I try and keep tabs on what's going on. Like,
00:12:14.280 I don't know who any of these people are. I know who Nate Erickson-Smith is. That one's funny.
00:12:18.620 That guy's not even running for re-election. And now he's the housing minister. Um, and he's,
00:12:23.020 like, usually too busy filming his podcast to do anything real. And then he had, like,
00:12:26.840 that weird freak out in that committee, uh, where he started, like, screaming about, like,
00:12:30.280 you're questioning my flipping integrity, blah, blah. So he's, like, a really calm guy who has
00:12:34.920 that podcast voice. But then he, like, can go, like, absolutely wild in a second. Uh,
00:12:39.600 I'm not sure if you saw that clip, but...
00:12:40.860 I did not see that.
00:12:42.520 A bunch of other people. I don't know who they are. And that's really,
00:12:44.820 that's really the best way of summing up the Liberal Party. And I guess a good way of editing off
00:12:49.440 this video. Uh, I don't know who any of these people are at all. Uh, and they might as well just
00:12:54.040 all be wearing Justin Trudeau Halloween masks, because they all just represent whatever Trudeau
00:12:58.120 wants. Even Christy Freeland, if she becomes leader, is not going to be any different from 0.80
00:13:01.360 Trudeau.
00:13:02.000 They're like us. Two people.
00:13:03.620 Yeah.
00:13:03.960 You might recognize.
00:13:05.020 Yeah, two people you might recognize. That's the name of the podcast we're probably going to do
00:13:08.560 at some point. You may or may not recognize these people, and they're going to talk.
00:13:12.280 Anyways, uh, so, you know, subscribe to the channel, guys. You have to. I have to get to 100,000
00:13:17.500 subscribers by December of next year. Or I own, oh, for my friend's dinner. And they're not going to go
00:13:23.400 easy on me. They're going to make me suspend a lot. Uh, and so, I'm putting the fear into myself
00:13:27.960 by making a bet that does not pay off for me, even if I win. They only owe me dinner. So,
00:13:32.420 subscribe to the channel, like this video, leave a comment, and I'll be back with more videos with
00:13:37.340 Brittany in the future. So, guys, you see, she even has the pin. So, look, we're being all very
00:13:41.300 profesh. Yeah.
00:13:43.320 I managed to get a pin.
00:13:44.960 Yeah, I, now I'm out of the matter. I have to order some.
00:13:47.500 Oh, my goodness. Yeah. This is all behind-the-scenes logistics. So, see you guys later.
00:13:52.560 Bye.
00:13:53.220 Bye.
