Wyatt Claypool talks about how Liberals are quickly regret their vote for the Liberal Party of Canada, and why it's a good thing we didn't win the election as Conservatives, because they're going to regret their votes for the Liberals.
00:00:20.000My latest on Carney's cabinet. Ladies and gentlemen, we have been had.
00:00:26.380Okay, settle down with the we here, Andrew.
00:00:30.380People like me were telling you that you were going to regret your vote for the liberals
00:00:35.880because there was no evidence that they had changed at all since Justin Trudeau stepped down and Mark Carney came in.
00:00:42.520Mark Carney, as I've been saying, and as many other people have been saying,
00:00:46.620I guarantee you guys were telling it to family members and friends who were planning on voting liberal.
00:00:51.100Carney was the economic advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since 2020 up until when Justin Trudeau resigned and Carney ran for leadership.
00:01:02.320What made you think that he was going to go into a big new direction?
00:01:07.420He was there for five years, didn't resign saying,
00:01:09.920Oh my goodness, they're doing all the wrong things. I can't stand being here anymore.
00:06:28.080This is the new housing minister, Gregor Robertson, saying that his goal with the housing ministry is not actually to lower the price of housing.
00:07:11.180We need to be delivering more affordable housing.
00:07:13.480The government of Canada has not been building affordable housing since the 90s, and we've created a huge shortage across.
00:07:20.860So he's basically also saying the liberal record sucks on affordable housing, at least from a left-wing perspective, that the government's supposed to be involved in building it.
00:07:29.280But he said there, we're supposed to keep the market balanced.
00:07:32.380Now, that should be a really big red flag on the field, because the problem is the current market is not good.
00:07:40.880But he wants to keep this current balance because it's very, very bloated.
00:07:44.640And in a response to that clip from Mackenzie Gray, Gregor Roberts says, the question I answered was about reducing the price of a family's current home, which for most Canadians is their most valuable asset.
00:07:57.360The question wasn't, should homes be more affordable?
00:08:01.200Vancouver led the country on co-ops rental only zoning.
00:08:06.000Okay, he might have led the country on more co-ops and rental only zoning.
00:08:10.820That doesn't mean he performed well on housing.
00:08:13.300Remember, he was the mayor during the housing crash.
00:08:18.020In theory, housing should have gone down in price.
00:08:21.740Housing, when he was mayor, ended up increasing by 179% because he is the king of building nothing.
00:08:30.240Yes, they technically built, but he ended up having it be so difficult to build, so difficult to get a permit, that it skyrocketed the price of housing.
00:08:39.300And naturally also, it has to do with immigration, which was also going up during his tenure during Harper, and I'm not sure if his tenure went on during Trudeau.
00:08:48.420But the supply shrunk, or the supply did not grow very much in Vancouver, and immigration was extremely heavy during that time within the city limits of Vancouver, because immigration's always been high in Vancouver, even when nationally it's been a bit down.
00:09:02.940But now, let's get to another Gregor Robertson clip that doesn't exactly jive well with what he's claiming here.
00:09:11.320So here he's on with David Cochran, a liberal propagandist on the CBC, trying to clarify himself and only making it worse.
00:09:20.320You want to increase the supply, but people have so much of their savings and their retirement, the home is their biggest asset, and that's what they're relying on.
00:09:26.820So how do you increase supply and make housing more affordable without ruining the retirement plans of people who have homes that they want to eventually cash out on?
00:09:36.280And by the way, guys, a simple answer is, it's not their right to cash out on their house because of a bloated market.
00:09:45.200I'm sorry, if your house goes from $900,000, $1.3 million down to $800,000, $1.2 million, it's kind of not society's problem.
00:09:55.420Immigration was super high, so if we lower immigration, your house price will go down because there will be less demand.
00:09:59.820But is it now the country's duty to always have high immigration to keep the demand for your house up?
00:10:05.420Do we have to restrict new supply to keep demand for your house up?
00:10:11.300But now Gregor Robertson, though, is going to actually agree with that position that we should be trying to maintain your value.
00:10:18.280You can thread that needle as a minister.
00:10:19.600Yeah, you know, that is a challenging piece there, and that's where some would call it impossible, actually.
00:10:26.760Try and make housing more affordable but not lower the price.
00:10:29.820You know, we're looking at several different aspects of the housing market.
00:10:33.960Market housing, obviously, is driven by market prices, and people that own housing or own buildings, you know, they're riding on that market price.
00:10:44.020We have to make sure that we are building below-market housing at a scale that makes sure we don't have people sleeping in the streets,
00:10:51.480that our young people can access the housing market.
00:10:54.340We've got new tools coming in, in terms of first-time homebuyers not paying up to a million dollars, getting $50,000 off.
00:11:03.760Okay, basically he's butchering the question.
00:11:07.380Yeah, they're going to give a GST cut on housing, which is actually a stolen promise from the Conservatives.
00:11:14.000And I hear Poly have recently said, steal as many of my ideas as you want.
00:11:17.700So that was actually a good rhetorical thing for Pierre Poly to say.
00:11:21.040So the only good thing that they're actually going to be doing on housing is something they stole from the Conservatives.
00:11:25.260So I guess round of applause for them on that.
00:11:27.680But he's falling all over himself, just saying, well, we're not going to try to affect people's prices.
00:11:32.340We're just going to build more below-market value stuff.
00:11:35.040It's like, well, that's naturally going to lower the price of everything.
00:11:41.000But again, I'm worried that his actual top priority he vocalized was stabilizing the market, because the market is currently not very good.
00:12:33.080And now he's going to try and succeed in what is actually a more complicated department.
00:12:37.580When you decided not to run again, you said it was because you wanted to spend more time with your family.
00:12:41.660And you said when you were coming back again that you worked out a deal with Mr. Carney, that you were able to have a little bit more work-life balance.
00:12:47.620How does that jive with your new role?
00:12:49.280Well, I expect what you're going to see is when the House Commons is not sitting, given the nature of the portfolio, a lot of the stakeholders we have are less interested in having you attend groundbreakings, the openings of new buildings that you may have funded, and are quite accustomed to having meetings virtually.
00:13:16.200He just was going to lose his re-election before.
00:13:18.940And then when the polling numbers turned around, now he's suddenly interested.
00:13:21.440Whenever a politician is saying something religious or they are doing something for their family, like nine out of ten times, they're just basically worried about their jobs, their careers.
00:13:34.340So I anticipate during constituency weeks, I'm going to be based in my hometown a little more than I was before.
00:13:39.620There may be an opportunity, depending on what's going on in the House, to avail myself, not all the time, of course, but once in a while, of the virtual abilities to participate in the House of Commons proceedings.
00:13:48.620So we're going to figure some of this out as we go.
00:13:50.560I'm very proud to have the support of my family to come back.
00:13:53.280My kids in particular are very excited.
00:13:55.460I thought they didn't want you to do this.
00:13:57.200It's almost like you were just saying stuff, and now you're still saying stuff, just depending on what's convenient for the time.
00:14:04.340Here is Anita Anand trying to answer, or I think, yeah, I believe this is her answering a question about Israel as our new foreign affairs minister.
00:14:11.420Israel is blocking food and aid to Gaza.
00:14:27.600Because Hamas is stealing all of it and using it to basically sustain themselves fighting the IDF.
00:14:32.480They don't actually care if people starve or anything.
00:14:34.340That's why you can't let the food get in.
00:14:36.340Because if people were starving, they're not going to be healthier once you send the food in, because they're not going to let those people get the food.
00:14:41.560And this is how our foreign affairs minister talks about one of our top allies in the world.
00:14:46.020We cannot allow the continued use of food as a political tool.
00:14:54.480The prime minister has been very clear about that.
00:15:06.460Because there's actually been a very high ratio of terrorists to civilian deaths in this conflict, in terms of, I mean, very low ratio.
00:15:14.580It's been like one to one, which is like unheard of.
00:15:16.960Usually way more civilians per militant is dying in a conflict.
00:15:20.740The idea that they keep running down Israel for just fighting terrorists and they critique them around every corner.
00:15:26.860We basically don't send much aid to Israel, but the liberals constantly need to chirp them to keep people on side like the pro-Hamas liberals in caucus.
00:15:37.400This is why she's saying stuff like that.
00:19:56.320They'll put every barrier in the way to an energy project, an actual good energy project.
00:20:02.080And then they'll toss subsidies at renewable projects that only exist because of the subsidies.
00:20:07.480And they'll pretend like this is the new industry that we need to be pursuing, something that only exists because taxpayer money is being dumped on it.
00:20:15.040There is a business case for that, but, you know, just like takes a pump-action shotgun to the chest of oil and gas industry and is like, whoa, look, it can't survive on its own after we put a giant hole through it.
00:20:29.960Anyways, yeah, nothing's changed with the liberals.
00:20:34.880I'm going to finish this video off with a short clip from Pierre Polyev, and I want to link that video below for you guys to go check out because I don't want to play the full version.
00:20:44.140But I think the conservatives are actually doing some really good content right now on the new cabinet.
00:20:49.260Hopefully they're getting their footing because towards the end of the election, they became kind of soft.
00:20:53.240And they were just saying change for change's sake, rather than making a very direct point about what they're going to do.
00:21:00.500Rather than building a better vision, rather than running on a audacious new vision, they were kind of just running on the idea that we're changed and the other guys aren't.
00:21:37.080I'm going to be linking that in the description below as well as pinned to the top of the comments if you guys want to go check that out.
00:21:42.480And, well, I guess it's good to be back from Victoria in Calgary now.
00:21:46.180I'm going to have to make a video on my adventures there because I became the most shat on, not to say something that sounds kind of vulgar.
00:22:04.980I think I had three separate MLAs launching personal attacks on me for no reason because they're upset that we were calling them out for being fakes because they're pretending to be conservative.
00:22:14.080At the same time, they stumped for things like DRIPA and whatnot.
00:22:27.500I'm going to have some other stuff to cover about David E.B. freaking out about my boss, Tara Armstrong, because I work like a very semi part-time advisory role with the independent MLA Tara Armstrong from Kelowna.
00:22:40.420And so that's a story I'm going to be covering.
00:22:42.300Lots of stuff has been piling up because I've been was working like eight, 10 hour days while I was in Victoria and I could only do one story a day.
