Summary

In this episode of the podcast, I discuss how the current Liberal Party of Canada is trying to figure out how to deal with their massive polling deficit, and how to pivot in order to make up for it. I also talk about the mass shooting in Winnipeg, Canada, and why the Liberals have become so obsessed with demonizing the Conservatives.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 I don't think you can say much more than this has been one of the worst weeks ever for the
00:00:04.740 Liberals when it comes to their popularity in Canada. I'm not sure if you've seen the recent
00:00:09.400 Nanos poll, but it's quite amazing. The Conservatives are currently at 41% in the polls,
00:00:14.900 and the Liberals and NDP are tied at 22%. I believe the Liberals are like literally
00:00:20.440 point like one three ahead of the NDP. But at this point, it doesn't matter. If anything,
00:00:27.000 the NDP could actually overcome the Liberals and win more seats when they're tied. The current
00:00:32.240 seat projections favor the Liberals, but that's because it takes into account financial information
00:00:36.360 and a bunch of other stuff. But at least the NDP has very concentrated support, whereas the Liberals
00:00:41.100 are a little bit more like the Conservatives, where they have kind of support strewn across the
00:00:45.320 country. Not as much as the Conservatives, which is why the Conservatives need to win by massive margins
00:00:50.160 in order to win a majority, where the Liberals can win while being behind in the polls. But regardless,
00:00:55.340 it's awful. I don't need to put a finer point on it. But what I want to talk about today is how the
00:01:02.100 current Liberal Party of Canada is trying to overcome this really bad polling deficit. And
00:01:07.260 you might think, well, what are they going to do? You know, maybe make some economic forms,
00:01:11.740 you know, do some sensible policy repeal saying, okay, guys, this didn't work. And now we're going
00:01:16.840 to go in this new direction, prove that there are adults who can understand that certain policies of
00:01:21.200 theirs aren't really working and that they can pivot on the fly. That would be the sensible thing
00:01:25.720 to do. That's what I've suggested that they should do. Even if I'm a Conservative, I make these
00:01:29.760 suggestions to the Liberals because I like political strategy. And I also know that the Liberals will
00:01:34.720 never listen to me. So it's never going to actually hurt the Conservatives' chances of winning because
00:01:39.640 the Liberals are clearly not listening. I get videos with like 20,000 views. And I can guarantee
00:01:44.460 not a Liberal staffer is willing to watch more than 30 seconds of me. But the current Liberals,
00:01:50.300 they have chosen the path of their own destruction, which is to double down on accusations up against
00:01:55.980 both the Conservative Party as being a far-right ultra-mega party and trying to belittle Canadians
00:02:02.880 for voting for the Conservatives. Because these two things are effectively intertwined. You cannot
00:02:07.200 basically slam the Conservative Party as far-right mega extremism. They don't care of
00:02:13.980 babies-die kind of stuff, which is ironic when I said that considering the Liberal Party's hyper-hyper
00:02:19.240 pro-abortion. But like when they go after the Conservatives as basically being a party of demons
00:02:24.500 or whatever, like the current thing that they're talking about, by implication, they're saying
00:02:28.560 Canadians are bad people for supporting them, or at least that Canadians are stupid. I don't think
00:02:33.180 Canadians are stupid. I think it's very sensible for Canadians to be supporting the Conservative Party
00:02:37.100 of Canada. But the Liberals are effectively implying it by saying all these hyperbolic things about
00:02:42.500 the Conservative Party. So it even started back with, well, actually, we talked about this on
00:02:47.540 stream yesterday, but I do want to bring it up because of how ridiculous it is. We have Ken Hardy,
00:02:51.620 an MP for the Liberal Party, saying, beyond troubling to see another mass shooting in Canada,
00:02:55.880 now in Winnipeg, and we've lost so many police officers. Might it be the antisocial,
00:03:00.540 burn-everything-down, far-right attitude we're seeing creeping in from the US, and that creep on the
00:03:04.960 Canadian side? Pierre Polyev? It's like, guys, this is not a winning strategy. Implying that your
00:03:10.900 opposition leader is causing mass shootings doesn't actually make your opposition leader look bad. It
00:03:16.340 makes you seem like crazy people. And most people who see a tweet like that are saying,
00:03:20.860 didn't you guys lower mandatory minimums for multiple crimes and even eliminate mandatory
00:03:25.320 minimums for gang members illegally possessing firearms? I don't know what happened with the
00:03:30.200 Winnipeg shooting right now. But with the vague details we currently have, I don't think it's wrong
00:03:35.640 for Canadians to respond to that tweet by saying, you guys are the soft-on-crime people. How is this
00:03:40.060 Polio's fault? He would have locked up the criminal, presumably, who did this if it was a situation
00:03:45.660 where the person had a record. But whatever. It's somehow the Conservatives' fault, and I don't
00:03:52.060 think they know how badly this is going to play. But that's more of a fringe liberal talking point
00:03:57.540 against the Conservatives. Here's the mainstream one. It came from the liberal Twitter or X account
00:04:02.860 itself. So we have here Justin Trudeau saying, well, pure Polio's Conservatives turned their backs in
00:04:08.480 favor of falling far-right American-style politics. Liberals will always support Ukraine. And this is
00:04:13.940 on this silly, silly issue going on right now where the Conservatives voted against a trade deal piece
00:04:20.980 of legislation with Ukraine because it was including a bunch of carbon tax rhetoric. Now, people are
00:04:26.340 somewhat correct to say, well, it's just a vague commitment for the carbon tax, and it's not actually
00:04:31.680 imposing a carbon tax. And Ukraine technically already has a carbon tax. Okay. But if you know anything
00:04:37.240 about political strategy and marketing, you would know that if the Conservatives vote for this, the
00:04:41.880 Liberals all day long would be saying, see, the Conservatives support the carbon tax. They're
00:04:45.740 hypocrites. They just vote in favor of the carbon tax because they know it's secretly good. So they
00:04:49.840 created basically a lose-lose scenario for the Conservatives, where if they don't vote for it the
00:04:54.280 way that they didn't, basically they're anti-Ukraine. Even though Conservative MPs tend to be the most
00:04:59.120 pro-Ukraine, and they were pro-Ukraine even back when Putin invaded Crimea and Eastern Ukraine,
00:05:04.540 which, ironically enough, no liberal basically spoke out against because they don't actually
00:05:10.040 care. They only care now that it's the media's new thing to support Ukraine. It's not bad to
00:05:15.140 support Ukraine, but there's a lot of virtue signaling going on in terms of the Ukraine support
00:05:19.280 from people who never in their life actually cared before 2022, and if anything, actually
00:05:25.240 contributed to the invasion happening by being so weak on foreign policy. But now the Liberals have
00:05:30.400 created some bill, though it makes them look like the pro-Ukraine ones and the Conservatives not.
00:05:35.120 Again, this is not going to work, and the use of just American-style politics as a slogan against
00:05:40.360 the Conservatives is so silly, considering that the only parties who have been inviting American
00:05:46.620 politicians to speak at their conferences have been the Liberals and the NDP. Probably the Greens
00:05:52.000 too, but I don't really give a crap what happens at their conferences. Nobody watches those.
00:05:55.300 The NDP had Bernie Sanders come in via Zoom call to speak at their convention in favor of
00:06:02.640 democratic socialism and whatnot. That's not American-style politics. Neither is the Liberals
00:06:07.460 bringing in Hillary Clinton to talk about politics and then have her basically deployed to try and
00:06:13.420 compare the Conservative Party to the far-right mega movement, blah, blah, blah. Who cares?
00:06:19.700 That they'll have the Conservatives invited Donald Trump or Ted Cruz or Ron DeSantis to speak at their
00:06:25.720 conferences? No, because the Conservatives are focused on things happening in Canada. It's actually
00:06:30.320 the Liberals and the NDP who want to LARP as American politicians by trying to associate themselves
00:06:35.180 with each other. But I digress. Here's another tweet from everyone's favorite MP, Mark Gerritsen,
00:06:41.860 and he says,
00:06:42.360 Pierre Polyev is pouring far-right American politics into Canada after spending the afternoon defending
00:06:47.740 themselves. Are these the CPC MPs that were bullied into voting against Ukraine? Nobody was
00:06:54.480 bullied. You guys technically just like played a dishonest trap in which you were going to accuse
00:06:59.480 the Conservatives of acting in bad faith regardless. And again, most Canadians are not following vote
00:07:05.140 by vote stuff. I think people's voting records do count. I'm in my, and I can do a shameless plug right
00:07:10.320 now. I'm running for the Conservative Party nomination for the riding of Calgary Signal Hill.
00:07:14.780 So buy Conservative Party nomination, like Conservative Party memberships to vote for me.
00:07:19.080 The link to my campaign website's in the description. Like I look into my opponent's voting records
00:07:24.440 because a lot of them are frankly abysmal. But the average voter, unless you like directly inform them
00:07:29.240 how politicians voted, are not going to care. And unless the Liberals are going to, you know,
00:07:33.800 kick into high gear before the next election, just trying to tell Canadians how they voted on this one
00:07:39.600 piece of legislation, no Canadians really going to even know that the Conservatives voted this way.
00:07:44.220 And most of them at the end of the day are going to understand why they voted against the bill.
00:07:48.620 It's not going to get any Canadians to, you know, side against their own interests of, you know,
00:07:53.960 wanting grocery prices to come down, getting rid of the carbon tax, and, you know, beefing up Canada's military.
00:07:59.900 That's the funny thing. The Liberals and the NDP keep pushing to cut military spending so that we can be
00:08:05.300 less of a use to our allies. But no, no, no. They're the real pro-Ukraine ones. Whatever.
00:08:10.800 And then here's a National Post article. And it's just laying out this thing that happened where a
00:08:15.180 Tory MP, I can look up who it was, but basically he was, he's been censured and not allowed to speak
00:08:21.520 in Parliament until he signs some sort of apology. It's Jake Stewart. Which Friday is that? He's from
00:08:28.140 Miramatch Grand Lake. And he said, he called one of the Liberal MPs a Hamas supporter.
00:08:35.160 So Greg Fergus, the current Speaker of the House, basically said that was unparliamentary language.
00:08:39.620 Unparliamentary language at the time when the Liberals keep calling the Conservatives far right
00:08:44.240 and keep implying that they're in favor of shootings and whatnot. And he even had Ken McDonald
00:08:49.040 flipping off the Conservatives in Parliament. But, you know, someone, a Conservative pointing out that
00:08:54.800 a Liberal who never actually condemns Hamas and doesn't say anything about all the massacred
00:08:59.600 Jewish people in Southern Israel, that's way over the line to say that that person might have some
00:09:05.080 Hamas sympathies. But whatever. Now I want to get to the most ridiculous point that was made recently
00:09:10.460 in Parliament to try and go after. Actually, no, not that. Not yet. You guys are going to have to
00:09:14.660 wait for it. It's quite brilliant. Also, I just want to do another quick shameless plug. I have a legal
00:09:18.980 fund going on right now. It's on the Give, Send, Go link in the description below. I'm being sued by a
00:09:23.900 billionaire right now. I'm winning that lawsuit, but I am now $25,000 deep in defending myself.
00:09:29.460 I just got over my deposition. It went extremely well. My opponent's deposition went very poorly,
00:09:34.460 and they basically had to agree to every single factual point we had against him in that. I'm
00:09:39.500 defending myself in this defamation case, but the guy coming after me is not equipped to be making
00:09:44.700 accusations. Let's say that. But if you can chip in some money, that really helps me.
00:09:49.140 Anyways, I want to get to this Mark Gerritsen clip where he's speaking in Parliament. I might not
00:09:54.600 play the entire clip because it's a bit long, but I just want you guys to hear just Mark Gerritsen,
00:10:01.900 Marky Mark and the Sweaty Bunch, making these accusations directly out loud because it's just,
00:10:07.080 I don't know, it's just so desperate even just hearing him say these things.
00:10:10.520 Mr. Speaker, it has become clear that far-right American politics have fully taken over the
00:10:16.160 Conservative Party of Canada. Last June, five Conservative MPs traveled on a lavish trip to
00:10:21.880 London, England, and dined on thousands of dollars worth of oysters and champagne. We also know that at
00:10:27.940 least one of those Conservative MPs had his expenses paid for by the Danube Institute, a right-wing
00:10:33.940 Hungarian think tank that has said the stakes of the Russia-Ukraine war are not Ukraine's sovereignty,
00:10:39.720 but a victory of NATO, the expansion of the U.S. deep state, and woke-ism. Coincidentally,
00:10:46.580 right around the same time, Conservative MPs started shifting their support away from Ukraine
00:10:51.480 in favour of Russian propaganda aimed at turning the world against Ukraine.
00:10:56.200 Mr. Speaker, I want Ukrainian Canadians to know that while Conservative MPs flirt with Vladimir Putin
00:11:03.000 and his attempts to persuade their support, liberals are unwavering in our commitment and will be there
00:11:09.420 every step of the way until... Yeah, they're going to be there every step of the way, except back in
00:11:14.680 2014 when they couldn't care less of Ukrainians who were being slaughtered. Other than that just lie
00:11:20.040 about the Conservative support for Ukraine, what is, like, what, he never actually gave an example
00:11:25.500 of far-right politics. He just kind of, like, machine guns that out. Like, they're diving into
00:11:30.960 far-right American politics. Also a great diplomatic move to keep implying that your Southern neighbor
00:11:36.300 is far-right, so much so that it's a talking point that your opponents are potentially evil for being
00:11:42.120 any bit like them. Oh, great idea. Just start slandering our Southern allies in the United States.
00:11:49.160 But, and then it just goes on to, like, talk about, like, oh, did you know some Conservatives,
00:11:52.400 you know, bought some food when they were in Europe or whatever? Like, who cares? Should we go
00:11:58.240 through all the Liberals' expenses? It's been far more ridiculous. Trudeau also appointed the new
00:12:04.480 Governor-General. I guess it's technically the Queen who did, but obviously it's the Prime Minister who
00:12:08.600 chooses. Has anyone looked at her expenses, all the limousines and whatnot? Oh, of course not. Who
00:12:13.640 cares? It's only bad if Conservatives do something, and Conservatives do it to a far lesser extent.
00:12:18.380 But Mark Gerritsen, the funny thing about him is that you can tell he wants to be in the Liberal
00:12:25.320 Party cabinet so badly. He, like, he's really living in the shadow of his dad, because his dad was an
00:12:31.420 MP in the area. He became mayor of Kingston, basically off the back of his dad's legacy, and he is in
00:12:38.440 Parliament every day, just, like, sweating it out, literally, trying to just make as many, just, like,
00:12:45.380 you know, drive-by shooting attacks on Conservatives, hoping desperately that Justin Trudeau notices him
00:12:51.400 and gives him some file that Mark Gerritsen couldn't possibly screw up. And even then,
00:12:56.280 he probably would screw up anyways, too. The Liberals, even the more competent ones, don't
00:13:00.500 exactly have fantastic records as cabinet ministers. But anyways, I want to move on to the very best clip.
00:13:06.560 It's from Liberal MP Paddy Heijew, who wants to compare Pierre Polyev to Donald Trump. And what,
00:13:14.320 did Donald Trump and Pierre Polyev shake hands? Did they make a secret deal behind the scenes? What
00:13:18.520 did they do? Well, have they agreed on some sort of controversial policy? Well, in fact, I'm not sure
00:13:25.820 if you're even ready to hear this. It's radical. It's actually going to hurt your brain to hear how
00:13:30.000 radical this is. Pierre Polyev and Donald Trump both use the word crazy sometimes. During question
00:13:36.040 period, I heard in one of the questions from the leader of the opposition, his reckless use of the
00:13:42.200 word crazy as a pejorative for one of our cabinet ministers. Or will he keep his crazy environment
00:13:50.040 minister? Could be crazy, but he's a crazy man. I like just the idea that, well, like, he's taking a page
00:13:58.440 out of Donald Trump's playbook. Donald Trump's playbook, I guess, if you turn to page 10, it just
00:14:03.340 says, say crazy sometimes. I don't even know what they're getting at. This is like, this is so much
00:14:09.300 below reaching for straws. This is just sort of trying to reach for, like, fictitious straws.
00:14:15.540 Nobody is actually going to think that if you keep invoking Trump's name, that he's at all comparable
00:14:21.020 to Pierre Polyev. And they still haven't pointed out the specific thing about Trump that Pierre Polyev
00:14:25.780 is doing wrong and why that thing is wrong. Like, you can dislike Trump on personality reasons.
00:14:31.800 Most of his policies are pretty mainstream for even Canada. It's like, you know, illegal immigrants
00:14:37.140 shouldn't come over the border. Even the liberals just shut down Roxham Road in Quebec because the
00:14:42.280 Quebec government said, can we stop having a stream of illegal migrants coming into the country
00:14:45.720 through our province? That's a mainstream position. Like, what, cutting taxes? What, cutting
00:14:49.880 spending? What are you, what's he actually saying? Yeah, Trump says vulgar things. Have they seen
00:14:54.640 Paul Yev say anything vulgar? No. Well, who cares? And they're like, well, he's attacking
00:14:59.540 journalists the way Donald Trump does. No, he's not. Even Donald Trump wasn't really ever attacking
00:15:03.940 journalists. He'd get into scraps because American politics can be a little bit more childish than
00:15:08.520 Canadian politics because everyone wants to get an anchor job on some news network. So every journalist
00:15:13.300 just comes out swinging at the press secretary and the presidents in every press conference that
00:15:18.140 happens. But like, that's, that's not like far right American politics. It's just the fact of how
00:15:24.320 press tends to work. And Pierre Polyev, if he's emulating Trump in any way, which this is something
00:15:29.980 that all American politicians do, he's pushing back on journalists being dishonest. Okay. What,
00:15:35.480 what is he supposed to lie down and take it? That's basically what the liberals are trying to imply.
00:15:39.660 The conservatives are trying to win the next election and that's far right. They should be
00:15:43.700 more like Aaron O'Toole and just let us win. Just lay down and die. Let Justin Trudeau win an election.
00:15:49.220 He shouldn't have been able to win back in 21. That's really what they want. That's really their
00:15:53.520 complaint here. Anyways, that should be it for me today. I hopefully died. Didn't sound too sick
00:15:58.480 in this video, but if you want to contribute to my gifts and go legal fund, that is linked in the
00:16:03.000 description of this video below. Uh, again, I'm $25,000 deep in this, in this lawsuit, Denise,
00:16:09.320 one of the viewers, she's been an absolute star. She actually donated over the course of like a month
00:16:13.580 and a half or so was it has, it wasn't that long. She gave me over $800, which really helped me avoid
00:16:19.380 having to pay a bunch of interest on some like credit card, um, on my credit card and other
00:16:23.500 stuff like that. So I'm not like rolling in it. It's not like I have a bunch of extra money. I,
00:16:27.180 I basically collect up money, uh, and then immediately have to pay it off to lawyers or
00:16:31.640 some other expenses. Um, so if you can contribute in any way to that fund, that's fantastic. And if
00:16:37.040 you live in the riding of Calgary signal Hill by conservative party membership, if you know,
00:16:41.340 friends or family who lives here, get them to buy a conservative party membership and vote for me.
00:16:45.000 Number one on the nomination ballot, I'm very close to putting in my paperwork and getting approved as
00:16:50.420 a candidate. Uh, there's going to be a lot of people out here and hopefully people will vote
00:16:54.540 for me. So we have an actual conservative representing the riding and not just some party guy who's hung
00:16:59.500 out so long in the party that he thinks he deserves a position. Anyways, well, that should be it for me
00:17:05.960 today. Have a great one.
