In this episode of the podcast, I discuss the ridiculous ways the Liberal Party of Canada are trying to get their base to vote for them, and why they should just ignore it. Without doubt, the two words I use most often when talking about the Liberals is ridiculous and embarrassing. It's not because I have some sort of limited vocabulary or whatever, it's because those two words just happen to describe the current state of the party over the past several years. And it's insane to watch the Liberal party communications team seem to not have a single person around who can actually tell them what Canadians care about. They take massive swings and misses trying to appeal to Canadians on different policies they put forward, and it gets even more embarrassing when they try and push attacks on the Conservative party of Canada. Their most recent one, which I think is fully backfired, was to go after Conservative MP Leslie Lewis for her petition proposing to remove Canada from the United Nation.

00:00:04.060 Canada is ridiculous and embarrassing. It's not because I have some sort of a limited vocabulary 0.82
00:00:09.340 or whatever. It's because those two words just happen to describe the current state of the party
00:00:13.680 over the past several years the best. It's insane to watch the Liberal Party communications team
00:00:18.640 seem to not have a single person around who can actually tell them what Canadians care about.
00:00:24.020 They take massive swings and misses trying to appeal to Canadians on different policies they
00:00:28.560 put forward. And it gets even more ridiculous and embarrassing whenever they try and push attacks 0.86
00:00:34.020 on the Conservative Party of Canada. Their most recent one, which I think is fully backfired, 0.94
00:00:39.260 you can even see from the engagement on their social media post, was to go after Conservative
00:00:44.400 MP Lesley Lewis for her petition proposing to remove Canada from the United Nations. The United Nations,
00:00:49.940 an organization that Canadians, even if they don't hate it, don't really care about. But the Liberals,
00:00:55.400 because they deeply care about it in the political bubble that they live in, think that by going
00:00:59.960 after Lewis on this issue, they're somehow going to have a rallying cry in favor of the Liberal Party
00:01:05.080 and bring Canadians into the fold because I guess Canadians deeply care about all the money that
00:01:10.600 Canada wastes over at the UN. Anyways, this is what they posted yesterday. I talked a little bit about
00:01:15.960 Lewis's petition yesterday. I just didn't show posts like this. And it's great that I saved it because I
00:01:22.040 really wanted to just talk about just communications strategy in general in regards to this. So their
00:01:27.720 post says, first, pure poly event as MPs turned their back on Ukraine. No, they didn't. They turned
00:01:32.920 their backs on Ukraine in the time of need. And now they're saying we should leave the United Nations.
00:01:37.240 While they're importing far right American politics into Canada, we'll keep working with our global
00:01:41.880 partners to deliver for Canadians. Still, the Liberals cannot actually think of a reason why we must be very
00:01:48.120 supportive of the United Nations. There's nothing specific that the UN does bad to Canada. We get
00:01:55.240 really bad ideas from the UN, but they don't actually specifically impose anything on Canadians. 0.90
00:01:59.640 It's just a worthless institution. But the Liberals think that Canadians are going to be horrified that
00:02:05.400 Leslie Lewis has pointed out that we pay $76 million a year to the UN for what? What are we getting out
00:02:13.080 of the World Health Organization who helps, you know, the Chinese government cover up pandemics? 0.97
00:02:18.040 It's ridiculous. Again, I keep overusing that word. I'll try doing it a little bit less throughout 0.82
00:02:23.160 this video. But then we, of course, have the most embarrassing Liberal MP coming out, Mark Gerritsen,
00:02:29.720 to highlight this thing that Leslie Lewis did as like, I guess, a big reason why there are supposedly so
00:02:36.120 many people leaving the Conservative Party these days. The Conservative Party, which in the most recent poll,
00:02:41.320 is 14 points above the Liberal Party. Never talk about the popularity of your opposition's leader
00:02:49.480 or their party in general. If you're in the polls, at least like more than five below the Opposition
00:02:56.120 Party, do not talk about their popularity. You look like a clown. And speaking of clowns, 0.99
00:03:00.760 here's what Mark Gerritsen posted. He said, to all people abandoning the Conservative Party, 0.95
00:03:05.480 you're not leaving them. They left you. Pierre Poly is to the Conservative Party of Canada,
00:03:10.040 what Donald Trump is to the Republican Party. And just the idea that you're not leaving them,
00:03:16.040 they left you. Really? Was there a bunch of United Nations fans? Was there a bunch of big fans of,
00:03:23.800 like, I don't know, bloated government spending that were leaving the Conservative Party? There's no
00:03:28.680 real faux pas that Polioff or any Conservative MP has violated that would make Conservatives uniquely
00:03:35.400 want to leave the party right now. The Conservative Party has actually had a very good retention rate
00:03:39.800 with its 2021 support. Most parties usually keep around 70% of the support and 30% of the votes they
00:03:46.120 get in the next election are unique to what they had previously. Right now, the Conservatives are holding
00:03:51.080 on to like 85%, 90% of their support from the last election. That's actually fantastic. And so,
00:03:57.720 like, the Conservatives are going to have a massive blue wave in the next federal election. There's
00:04:03.560 ridings that the Conservatives haven't won in five, six, seven elections that are actually in play right
00:04:08.440 now, simply because the Liberals are doing stuff like this and trying to claim that you should come
00:04:14.200 back and vote for them over something to do with the UN. And you should just ignore all the stuff like
00:04:19.560 the high taxes, high inflation, incompetent foreign policy, crazy woke policy from the Liberals.
00:04:26.360 Ignore all that. Just focus on that there's a useless international institution that a Conservative 0.94
00:04:31.640 MP does not like and proposes that maybe it's a complete waste of time for us to engage in.
00:04:36.040 Again, like I've posted on social media a lot over the past 24 hours, I haven't had a single Liberal
00:04:41.080 actually explain to me what the UN does and why we should care about it. A couple of people said,
00:04:46.280 well, it's good for international relations. So if we pull out of the UN, do we not actually do any
00:04:51.400 relations with any other country? The UN is a waste of time. We already have a
00:04:56.040 separate department or a government that does diplomacy outside of the UN. It's not like
00:05:01.080 that would go away if we are not part of this bloated institution where dictatorships and
00:05:04.920 irrelevant countries get to sit on and vote on resolutions. Anyways, but I digress. Now,
00:05:10.040 here's another thing that the Liberal Party did that was very embarrassing this week. They have
00:05:14.280 announced their candidate for the Durham riding to go up against Jamil Giovanni. This is the riding
00:05:19.640 that Aaron O'Toole used to be the MP of and I'm happy that he's gone. Jamil is actually a great
00:05:24.200 replacement for the Conservatives in that riding and the Liberals picked a fairly odd candidate.
00:05:30.520 I'll get to that in just one second. I just want to do a quick shameless plug that I,
00:05:34.520 Wyatt Claypool, I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:05:38.600 Just in the theme of talking about elections, I just wanted to mention this. I had a video where
00:05:42.920 it had like 20,000 views and I was able to look up city analytics and there's like 1,300 of you who
00:05:48.120 live in the city of Calgary. There's a good chance that even if it's evenly divided around the city of
00:05:52.920 Calgary, there's 11 ridings and I assume that several hundred people watching this video could
00:05:57.880 be living that riding. So if you do buy a Conservative Party membership, vote for me number
00:06:02.200 one on your ballot so we can have a real Conservative representing the riding. Anyways, back to the news.
00:06:07.400 So the Liberals announced who they were going to be running and it was this guy named Robert Rock.
00:06:12.440 You know, you shouldn't really have to know who he is for the most part. A lot of nominees for any
00:06:18.440 party are kind of, you know, nobody that anyone who's not super local should know. This was extremely
00:06:24.280 funny to many Conservative commentators and just reporters in general online because Robert Rock
00:06:30.920 ran for the Durham Conservative nomination. Not, you know, back in 2011 or 2008. No, no. He ran against
00:06:38.200 Jamil Javani for the nomination. He literally has quotes all over his social media and in interviews
00:06:44.920 talking about how we need to take on the Liberals and dismantle their destructive, toxic government.
00:06:50.840 And then he runs for the Liberals. And I think this really demonstrates the sort of people that
00:06:55.800 tend to seek nominations for parties. They could care less what party they're running for. They just
00:07:01.480 want to run for a party that's going to enable them to maybe get a cushy and easy job to do. I'm not
00:07:07.080 even kidding. That's kind of the problem I have in my nomination. There's like 12 candidates and a lot of
00:07:12.120 them, you could tell if the Liberals had a better chance of winning Calgary Signal Hill, they would
00:07:17.240 have run for Calgary Signal Hill. They're only jumping in to this Conservative nomination because
00:07:22.120 it's the bluest suburban riding in the country. Regardless, this is the best piece of propaganda
00:07:27.880 that the Conservatives could have ever been given. That not only does this man have just a plethora of
00:07:33.880 anti-Liberal quotes, but it demonstrates just how empty the Liberal Party is that they're just throwing
00:07:38.600 anybody up in order to try and stop Conservatives from winning. I know Durham should be a shoe in
00:07:44.360 for the Conservatives. It's a little bit competitive depending on who's running there. But if the fact
00:07:49.240 that the Liberals couldn't even do the slightest ounce of a background check on their guy really
00:07:54.360 demonstrates that they know they're losing the 2025 election. So who even cares to check who's running
00:08:00.040 for us? They're just trying to simply, you know, they're really just sort of plugging away
00:08:04.680 on social media, like slinging mud at the Conservatives, knowing they're not going to win.
00:08:09.240 But maybe that in, you know, in the eyes of their elitist friends in Toronto and Montreal,
00:08:13.720 they look very woke and culturally sensitive and, you know, very with it because they defend the UN and
00:08:19.640 they attack Polly for not being okay with gender theory and they attack other Conservative MPs because
00:08:25.480 there happened to be a shock gas pro-life. This is really what the Liberal Party stands for,
00:08:30.840 just going after fringe social issues to please those who fund them, knowing that they're not
00:08:36.840 going to win the next federal election. There is not, they sometimes push on the idea that housing
00:08:42.360 is a really big area of accomplishment for the Liberals. It's not. Everyone knows it. There's
00:08:47.240 a reason why now this year they're going to come up with a new housing strategy. They should scrap 0.77
00:08:52.040 Sean Fraser, the housing minister. He's incompetent. He lacks, he's basically Trudeau with less charisma. 0.98
00:08:57.320 They, but they don't actually care about the policy. It's just about attitude projection,
00:09:02.120 that we're the more kind and, you know, easy going and sensitive party, other than not,
00:09:07.400 unlike those hard and disgusting Conservatives, because none of their policies that they've come
00:09:12.040 out with actually are going to materially improve anyone's lives. It's the old policies,
00:09:16.200 plus an extra hundred million dollars. So all they've really been resorting to is attacking the
00:09:21.560 Conservatives in ways that just expose how empty the Liberal Party has become. The fact that they've
00:09:26.520 been opposing the Conservative Party on cuts is insane, usually in an election when the, you know,
00:09:32.120 when the economy isn't in a massive recession. Talking about cuts is maybe a good strategy,
00:09:36.840 trying to win some votes over some nervous voters who think that the cuts are going to go towards,
00:09:41.080 you know, actual necessary, you know, public services when that's never the case. But right now,
00:09:47.400 when everyone knows how bad the economy is and how bloated the government budget is,
00:09:51.320 nobody's that scared of cuts. But that's all the Liberal Party has left. It's, you know,
00:09:55.560 getting mad at the Conservatives for proposing cuts to bloated areas of government and trying
00:10:00.040 to defend the UN because I guess the UN is a very, very major part of the Liberal Party's philosophy.
00:10:06.280 Can they explain what the UN does? No, but that's just, but you know, if you don't understand that
00:10:10.760 you're a dumb conservative, like I've heard on Twitter so many times from people who are supposedly 0.99
00:10:15.080 much smarter than me that they can't actually even one sentence explain why we should care about 1.00
00:10:20.200 what the UN even does. Anyways, that should be it for me today. I do have my give, send,
00:10:24.760 go fundraiser in the description of this video below. Basically, I'm still being sued by a
00:10:30.280 billionaire. I'm winning that lawsuit. It's a really stupid defamation lawsuit where they have
00:10:34.920 no evidence that we said anything that was defamatory. All of our stuff was factually based. 0.99
00:10:39.880 We even were referencing a previous report from two years ago on the guy who's suing us,
00:10:44.440 and that's why he sued. It's very silly, but he's drained me of $25,000. So if you want to
00:10:50.040 throw some money into the fundraiser, it helps me pay for my legal costs. And then also, obviously,
00:10:55.160 like I said before, I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill conservative party nomination.
00:10:58.920 So if you live in Calgary Signal Hill, make sure you buy a conservative party membership and vote for
00:11:03.960 me number one on your ballot. There's a lot of people running for this thing. A lot of people are
00:11:07.960 really just running like they're applying for a job at a bank and they're just showing you how long
00:11:12.200 their resume is, while at the same time, they actually can't name any conservative principles
00:11:15.800 that they actually deeply hold. So other than that, I guess I'll see you guys all in my next video or
00:11:21.560 another live stream if I happen to do one today or tomorrow.
