The Liberals lost a safe seat in a by-election, and now they're blaming everyone but themselves for it. Mark Holland, the Health Minister, can't seem to stop talking about it, and tries to blame everyone but himself.
00:00:00.000Without a doubt, the best part of watching the Liberal Party lose the Toronto St. Paul by-election was knowing that there was going to be an absolute flood of whining and coping online,
00:00:11.540where the Liberal Party, as well as their supporters on social media, were going to basically blame everyone but themselves for the Liberal Party losing one of the safest Liberal seats in the entire country.
00:00:24.160Toronto St. Paul is a riding that the Liberals had held on to since 1988, and in 2024, they lost the seat to a pretty colourless Conservative candidate
00:00:34.480and a campaign that really didn't seem like they cared that much if they won it or lost it.
00:00:39.700The Liberals threw everything that they had at this race. Every single Cabinet Minister pretty much came out to support Leslie Church,
00:00:47.020they threw all of their volunteers at it, tons of money was poured into the riding, and the Liberals still lost it.
00:00:52.360And now the Liberals are pretending that the riding didn't even matter to them. They don't care at all.
00:00:58.260Canadians are just emotional. Canadians just don't understand all the brilliant things Justin Trudeau is doing.
00:01:04.220And even if things suck in Canada, well, they suck in other parts of the world, so who cares?
00:01:09.900These are actual lines being used, and I'm going to go through some of them today here.
00:01:14.400First, I'm going to start off with somebody inside the Liberal government.
00:01:18.400It is Mark Holland, the Health Minister, who for some reason keeps talking about this by-election when he is the least emotionally prepared to do so,
00:01:27.880having an absolute meltdown on power and politics on CBC, what should be a softball interview,
00:01:34.240that he is turning into an absolute rout of himself.
00:01:37.980For some reason coming on here and complaining that Canadians are emotional, well, he can't get emotional control of himself either.
00:01:45.120They were examined on Monday in Toronto, St. Paul.
00:01:47.780Well, I mean, look, the walls of Fortress, they won Toronto, St. Paul.
00:01:53.040They breached Fortress Toronto. Like, that matters, though, Minister. That matters.
00:01:57.100I mean, come on. What did they do? What did the Conservatives do?
00:01:59.700They came in and they said everything that's wrong in the world.
00:02:02.500No, because people are upset, for sure, and that it's in a by-election where there is no consequences to flipping the seat.
00:02:08.540And right now, who's happy about the world? Like, it's tough out there. I don't care. You go to any country. I don't care where you go.
00:02:15.900These are difficult, difficult times. People are frustrated with that.
00:02:19.500So, yeah, congratulations to the Conservatives. They got people to agree that the world is tough right now.
00:02:23.860The world is tough right now. Yeah, that's a great line. The Liberals should run on that as a campaign slogan.
00:02:31.280The world's tough out there. You know, brave it with us.
00:02:34.640No, guys, the world's not tough out there. There's a lot of governments all over the world who do the same stupid things that you guys do.
00:02:42.060It's not the international situation that's making it hard on you.
00:02:45.500Javier Mele, the new president of Argentina, is turning that country around in record time, within six months of him becoming the president of Argentina, a country that is a fiscal and economic basket case with massive debt.
00:02:58.440He's running budget surpluses. He's paying down the debt. He's cutting regulations. He's cutting government float. He's doing a great job.
00:03:05.340Guys, it is a pure choice that you suck at your jobs. It is a choice.
00:03:09.500And then you going out there and saying that Canadians are just upset right now because things are tough.
00:03:15.340Dude, pack sand. No, you're making them tough.
00:03:19.060And you pretending that Canadians just need to settle down a bit is incredibly insulting.
00:03:24.980And if the Liberals want to lose the seat in the next cycle, I hope that the Conservatives clip everything that Mark Holland has said in his little media scrums he's done over the past two days and just play that on repeat.
00:03:36.840He thinks you're stupid. He thinks the Conservatives manipulated you because you're emotional children and that it's not that the Liberals are bad at their jobs.
00:03:45.620It's just that it was a by-election that, you know, didn't really affect anything.
00:03:48.920And you guys were just lashing out on us for things that, you know, are happening internationally that we can't control.
00:03:55.540But yeah, if the Liberals want to lose this, they're going to keep marching Mark Holland out there to talk about stuff like this.
00:04:00.520And they do. Thank you for True North. You should give them a follow on Twitter.
00:04:05.080But they made this great clipping of now Mark Holland saying, well, yeah, we've messed up some places.
00:04:10.620But again, it's just it's just tough out there.
00:04:13.080Thank you very much. I will point out just the record.
00:04:14.880It was not hypothetical for 40,000 people in Toronto St. Paul's on Monday.
00:04:46.140But, you know, symbolically, it does matter a lot because if a Toronto St. Paul voter is changing their mind on whether they not want you guys in the government,
00:04:54.500that does mean something because these are your base of voters in 2011, when the liberals were wiped out with Michael Ignatieff leading them.
00:05:03.480Carolyn Bennett in Toronto St. Paul was still able to handily win her seat.
00:05:07.200Now, when Carolyn Bennett retires and you throw in a liberal staffer to run against, frankly, someone who just comes across like a CPC staffer, you guys lost.
00:05:15.720It wasn't like the conservatives ran the most hyper charismatic candidate in the world who was a big name.
00:05:20.640No, no. It was a pretty standard conservative race.
00:05:23.040They obviously threw more resources into it than they usually would because it's the only race in the country going on right now.
00:05:28.760And you lost. So this idea that, oh, Canadians are just emotional and they only voted to send us a mini message, but they're going to come back to us.
00:05:36.680You have to justify why they'd want to.
00:05:38.960And they're not proving that they can pivot at all in anything that they've said in the aftermath.
00:05:43.680Justin Trudeau is basically just saying, oh, we hear you loud and clear.
00:05:46.280And we're going to be attentive to your needs with no commitment to changing at all.
00:05:52.000The country, because he doesn't have one, you know, he's reflected the anger that exists in the world.
00:05:57.080Well, well done. You know, where are people happy in the world right now?
00:06:00.500It's a tough time to be alive as a human being.
00:06:03.280And, you know, so that that that was about frustration of being able to express it without changing governments.
00:06:09.240And I understand that. And that message is heard loud and clear.
00:06:12.460And for Terry, Dan and I like, yeah, we're going to dig deeper.
00:06:17.060I'm going to wake up in the morning and try to work harder and try to do more and try to meet the frustrations of those people with better effort and clearer communication.
00:06:25.460But, you know, I don't it's such a it's such a pathetic line in the aftermath of having screwed up this badly in government for eight years to say, we'll work harder.
00:06:35.560No, no, no. Work smarter. Stop doing dumb things.
00:06:38.640I don't care how hard you are, how hard you're working at implementing bad policy.
00:06:46.280That's what people are asking you to do. Stop.
00:06:48.920Reverse course. Stop with the bloated spending programs.
00:06:52.160Stop with the high taxes, high regulations.
00:06:54.240Stop with handing out contracts to your friends.
00:06:56.760Stop the corruption. Stop the anti-Semitism.
00:06:59.580This is what they're asking for, especially because Toronto St. Paul is 15 percent Jewish.
00:07:04.020They don't like you guys winking and nodding at Hamas affiliates and pretending like the like what the fight in Israel and Gaza is just a mutual fighting between two legitimate factions.
00:07:14.740This is what people don't like about you guys.
00:07:16.920Don't think saying that they made a decision about the kind of country or government they want.
00:07:32.360And even when Daniel is also doing a show and he will be back soon, I guarantee he'll want to cover some of the Calistani nonsense going on in Canada.
00:07:40.020All those Sikh separatist, you know, crazy organizations coming out and, you know, trying to gain political influence there.
00:07:46.940So Calistanis do not represent more than one percent of Sikhs in Canada, but they have a lot of political power because they're heavily involved in money laundering.
00:07:55.000And so we have a lot of politicians in this country compromised by Calistani political organizations locally here in Canada, both on the riding level and on the national level.
00:08:04.540But now I want to jump over to this Rebel News clip.
00:08:07.720I guarantee you guys all follow Rebel News already, but you guys should still follow them if you haven't yet, both on YouTube as well as social media, you know, X and Facebook.
00:08:15.920Although none of us can use Facebook these days.
00:08:18.480I've been locked out of my Facebook account for the National Telegraph that had 73,000 followers.
00:08:23.260Can't open it because Justin Trudeau's Bill C-18, but they have this great clip where one of their reporters asks a Liberal Party volunteer, what happened to Toronto St. Paul?
00:08:33.240And he says, well, it was the Jews who lost us it.
00:08:36.340Not quite, but he's basically saying that Melissa Lansman interfered in this race.
00:08:40.880I'm surprised she was leading by 700 and then woke up this morning and it was about 590 for Stuart.
00:09:25.040That there is a group of people in a rioting who generally have an interest in not having people shoot at them in firebomb synagogues and their Jewish community associations and whatnot.
00:09:35.020And she wrote a letter, figured out, they probably figured out where all the very generic Jewish last names were on the voter rolls, and they sent them letters.
00:09:45.880But I guess that's election interference because it's only democracy when a left-wing party wins.
00:09:52.240I said this back when I made a video on the Westlock plebiscite.
00:09:56.240A small town in Alberta, Westlock, Alberta, they voted in a plebiscite to take down all the pride flags and pride crosswalks, just go back to normal Canadian Alberta Union Jack flags on their public flagpoles and going back to normal white line crosswalks.
00:10:12.360It wasn't even an anti-pride plebiscite.
00:10:14.920It was just saying, let's just go back to standard universal symbols of our town, stop doing political stuff.
00:10:20.660And the thing is, the left in the aftermath of losing that plebiscite in a small town, they started shipping in pride lawn signs and everything, because if they were told by the people of Westlock, guys, it's too much, please leave us alone.
00:10:33.360No, no, no, that's an affront to LGBTQ people, even though there's tons and tons of gay people and trans people who came out and said, yes, let's make the public square neutral again.
00:11:58.320So supposedly, Brian Pasfume, I and Jenny Burns are working together with the longest ballot committee in order to hurt the liberals in Toronto St. Paul.
00:12:08.960Well, even though, if anything, the person who would be benefited the most by the longest ballot committee, and I don't believe the longest ballot committee is trying to benefit anyone.
00:12:17.840It's a joke organization who thinks that this dumb tactic of making ballots as long as possible by registering as many candidates as independents as possible is going to push proportional representation.
00:12:35.760And I think proportional representation is silly anyways.
00:12:38.700I can make a video on that some other day.
00:12:40.740Public choice theory shows that proportional representation first past the post and all these systems tend to triangulate towards similar results anyways.
00:12:48.340But the idea that we're that we are somehow doing this to benefit the conservative when ballots are in alphabetical order.
00:12:55.180So Leslie Church would be far higher on the ballot than Don Stewart would be.
00:13:02.840And then they threw in the photo of myself and Ben Shapiro, because I guess that shows I'm an unsavory person.
00:13:08.420There are so many accounts on Twitter who just make up random theories because I know a person.
00:13:13.260And then they find like seven degrees later, that person knows a person who knows a person who knows a person who did something wrong.
00:13:19.000And it comes back to me like pulling puppet strings.
00:13:21.440But we will get to something related to puppet strings in a second here, because that also that is something that one of these people mad about the liberals losing had posted.
00:13:33.460But we have all of these liberal influencers on social media now freaking out about the result.
00:13:38.780This guy here saying another effing hit piece on Trudeau, 15 a day, media personalities are trash.
00:13:47.460Like, what are you what are you talking about?
00:13:49.900The Toronto Star, the Toronto Star is in the back pocket of the conservatives.
00:13:54.200Does this man not realize that at some point people actually do turn on like they do have to blame Trudeau for some failures?
00:14:03.640The Toronto Star is famously left wing.
00:14:05.740All these people will say, well, the people who own them are conservatives or whatever, but they don't control the editorial, like the editorial process of these publications.
00:14:14.540And they mostly have left wing biases.
00:14:16.880They'll pull up these stupid charts, if you've ever seen them, trying to prove that all every single outlet is pro-conservative, because they'll say that all these outlets endorse the conservatives in this election.
00:14:26.920It's like, no, an op-ed writer endorsed the conservatives.
00:14:30.300And usually the most popular op-ed writer from every publication is the conservative, because all of these publications are selfish and they want more viewership.
00:14:39.500So they have op-ed writers from multiple different political perspectives.
00:14:42.860And naturally, because people actually tend to like conservative views in this country, that these people end up liking the op-ed writer who's conservative the most.
00:14:54.260And so then these people will claim that these publications are biased because an op-ed writer had said, yeah, I'm voting conservative.
00:15:00.280Guys, the National Post in the 2022 provincial election technically endorsed the new blue party of Ontario,
00:15:08.220because Lord Black, in his op-ed, had said that people should consider voting for the new blue party and they're doing good work.
00:15:14.840I thought the new blue party was great.
00:15:16.320And people in Ontario, if you're out there, please buy a new blue party membership and vote for them, join their party.
00:15:21.900It's actually a very well-structured and competent small party.
00:15:25.480And it is opposing the bloated PC government out in Ontario, who is effectively just another liberal party.
00:15:31.740But, like, that would make the National Post in the pocket of the new blue party.
00:15:36.320Obviously, that's ridiculous, but that's the metric these people use.
00:15:39.860Sorry, this video is going on a little bit, but it's giving me a lot of ideas of things I can talk about that are too small for a full video.
00:15:46.520But Creek Pete keeps going on saying, responding to this one person above saying,
00:15:51.200The media are abandoning the liberals like rats fleeing a sinking ship, and suddenly Trudeau fancy bias, which is a very good way of summing up the situation.
00:16:00.400And Creek Pete responds by saying, abandoning, spoken like a con sheep that repeats whatever Peer tells them to,
00:16:06.420because these people don't have a single original thought of their own.
00:17:42.960I don't know if I can, I don't know how you have missed this.
00:17:46.540This person, Roddy, another liberal show account, you can even see they have good traction.
00:17:50.400They say, one day there will be a few, there will be a few people that realize that their teeth, childcare, prescriptions, the climate, healthcare, education, equality, economy, and freedom were a really high price to simply get rid of Trudeau.
00:18:10.220The food bank uses up, we only need, quote unquote, need these new government social programs because of how much the economy sucks under Justin Trudeau.
00:18:19.300And no, it's not an international problem.
00:18:22.160It's a you problem as the people who are in the liberal government and the people who cheer them on doing the dumbest things possible.
00:18:29.720This is a you problem and you will never figure it out.
00:18:32.560Maybe a few of you people one day will realize that you lost because you actually ignored the liberals' records on those different fronts.
00:18:41.300They've sucked on pretty much every front possible.
00:18:43.660And when I say pretty much, I mean, I guess technically they do a lot on the climate change file.
00:18:48.860But the climate change file is fraudulent, in my opinion, anyways.
00:18:52.500That, one, importing people to the country in the raw numbers that they do will always make our emissions increase.
00:18:57.920And two, the only way that emissions have been going down over time is because capitalism is fantastic.
00:19:03.180And people like to pay as little money for as much fuel to last as long as possible.
00:19:07.700And that's why trucks from the 70s to now have reduced emissions heavily.
00:19:11.980The only reason our emissions actually go up is because of mass immigration.
00:19:15.300Because naturally, if you move someone from a warm country to a cold country, they're going to have to burn way more fuel to not die.
00:19:35.920Fueling a paternal, a petulant hate machine that's building us to the real danger.
00:19:42.260Pure poly, he's a Trump clone, spouting U.S. Republican tactics with a shred of genuine belief, all to seize power.
00:19:49.100Our media, and then he goes on with this great photo of an American hand puppeteering Canada.
00:19:55.820Never let the left pretend that conspiracy theorists are on the right.
00:19:59.900Yes, there are conspiracy weirdos who mostly go and vote for the PPC.
00:20:03.980And I'm talking about like actual conspiracy theories, not you saying that the liberal government is corrupt, and then an idiot online saying that that's a conspiracy theory.
00:20:11.660I mean like genuine dumb garbage, like the world's flat.
00:20:15.040But there are way larger of a population of conspiracy theories who occupy the left-wing parties, who believe anytime the liberals lose, it's because America interfered.
00:20:30.020And again, it wasn't that people were just getting a little bit tired of Trudeau.
00:20:33.980If you look at the vote share proportions, the PPC lost votes, the Green Party lost votes, the NDP lost votes, the liberals lost votes.
00:20:44.120The only party to gain votes was the conservatives.
00:20:48.540It is not because of some trickery that went on.
00:20:52.200It's because nobody likes the liberals or the left.
00:20:55.640People don't like the PPC because the PPC is a party where they're unfunctional, they're not proving that they have stability, and they're basically just whining at the conservatives.
00:21:05.560All the parties who spend all day long whining at the conservatives somehow lost because they're not actually pitching real solutions, especially those who actually have control over policy, which defines the liberals and the NDP.
00:21:22.620Actually, I thought this was only going to be eight minutes, and now we are 21 minutes into this thing.
00:21:27.100But I guess that should be it for me today, guys.
00:21:29.840If you want to donate to my legal fund, that would really help me out these days, guys.
00:21:34.300A lot of random people trying to file lawsuits and whatnot against us for literally no reason.
00:21:39.440We have this ongoing one with this Chinese billionaire who's trying to hit us for defamation, which in over two and a half years of this case going on, I was 22 when this case started, and I'm about to turn 25.
00:21:52.640And in this period of time, he still hasn't shown how we defamed him in any way, but he keeps throwing paperwork at us, and for us to fight back costs us thousands of dollars.
00:22:02.140So anything you can contribute to the legal fund really helps me out.
00:22:05.460And then also, I've turned my old campaign website, wyattclaypool.com, into a political organizing website.
00:22:12.500If you guys want to go and sign up on the list to be part of my, you know, I guess organizing base, I can then suggest good candidates in your area if any key races are going on in your province or even specific district.
00:22:25.340And then we can make sure that we, as an audience, get more involved in both Canadian politics and internal conservative politics to make sure that we actually have the power to shape the future of the country.
00:22:36.640Small channels like this can actually have a big difference, because even larger YouTube channels than my own, ones that have 10 times of subscribers, they're mostly just focused on kind of dunking on Trudeau, which is useful in its own way.
00:22:47.860It's fun. I can't blame them for doing that. But what I want this to be is a serious political vehicle where I'm, you know, it's a bit of a talk show of myself and Daniel Boardman.
00:22:57.340But at the same time, you guys can email me at wyatt at wyattclaypool.com, get suggestions or even give me suggestions on good candidates in different areas.
00:23:05.320And then we can mobilize our team collectively to make sure that we put out voters, we get voters out, we get volunteers out, we get donors out for the right people in individual ridings, in individual provinces, as well as nationally, so that we can have a big impact.
00:23:20.640Canadian political engagement is so low, and us just caring a little bit helps so much.
00:23:26.160So click on my website in the description below, wyattclaypool.com, sign up on the list considering donating to the Give, Send, Go campaign.
00:23:32.940And then I also have it linked in the Telegram chat channel in the description below if you guys also want to join that so you get our videos as soon as they come out without having to rely on big tech social media algorithms showing you when a new video of ours actually does get released.
00:23:48.760Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys. Have a good one.
