The Liberal Party of Canada is trying to celebrate a great January, but it s really not that good. And one of their own is already in the race for the next election, and it s not even close to as bad as the Tories.
00:00:00.240In the most pathetic story of the day, the Liberal Party of Canada is trying to celebrate just how great a January they had.
00:00:09.540It's really not that good. If I was advising these people, I would tell them to please never put anything down in writing that can be compared to the Conservative Party.
00:00:19.280Look at this. They say, what a month. January 2025. Nearly 400,000 registered Liberals.
00:00:26.460Best ever January for grassroots fundraising. Well, of course, it's the best month ever. You have had a leadership going on.
00:00:33.440Over 100 requests from Canadians to run as a candidate in the next election.
00:00:37.620That's probably what the Conservative Party is getting in a month with only like a few dozen nominations open.
00:00:44.260That's not that good. And I want to hone in on this first one. Nearly 400,000 registered Liberals.
00:00:50.480Do you know how actually pathetic this is?
00:00:54.140The Liberal Party has only 400,000 registered members to vote in their leadership race.
00:01:01.460Despite making their membership free, do you know how many that the Conservative Party of Canada had when it had its 22 leadership election?
00:01:13.120675,000. Do you know how much it costs to get a Conservative membership?
00:01:18.800It's not free. It's $15 for a single year, which is pretty expensive considering even provincial parties usually only have it at $5 or $10.
00:01:27.540The Liberals giving away free memberships could not beat the Conservatives on membership sales.
00:01:34.540And remember, too, in that $400,000, I guarantee at least between $25,000 to like $75,000 of them were ironic signups to vote for people like Chandra Aria and now Ruby Dalla.
00:01:49.220That's like the $400,000 is not a good figure. It shows that people are not excited at all for what the Liberals are doing.
00:01:57.820This is the problem. Media hype, polling hype from places like Ecos can make it seem like the Liberals are catching up.
00:02:05.000And no doubt they'll have a bounce because Trudeau is gone and he was the giant like stinking corpse being lugged around by the party.
00:02:11.880So, yes, Carney or Freeland or anyone will improve their polling. But are Canadians excited for any of these people?
00:02:20.360Excitement and energy is something you cannot do an end run around. You can't just pretend like, well, we'll just be professional and button down and whatnot.
00:02:30.060Then people will vote for us. We'll just put on a new fresh face and then people will like us.
00:02:34.060It's like, no, no, no. They have to really like you. They don't just want to have to say like, oh, it's better that they don't have Trudeau.
00:02:39.880They need to have like pure Polyev energy because there is a reason that Polyev can walk into a room in a small town and have like 3,000 people in the room.
00:02:50.240He can have like a 12% of the population of the town show up. That is how you win elections.
00:02:56.060Having people who don't just dislike your opponent, who is Trudeau or Carney in this case going forward, they have to also like you.
00:03:03.820They have to want to vote for you. Mark Carney doesn't make people not want to vote for him.
00:03:07.920He makes me not want to vote for him. But in the same way as Justin Trudeau, people don't want to not vote for Mark Carney the same way they don't want to not vote for Trudeau.
00:03:17.040But that doesn't mean they want him either. This is the big issue we have.
00:03:21.460All the people celebrating Mark Carney and how great he is were already Trudeau loyalists, and now they're just being loyalists to the new guy.
00:03:28.040I want to show you something else that's also just insanely sad.
00:03:32.500It's one of the liberal leadership candidates is already out.
00:03:37.760He gathered the donations to pay the $350,000 deposit.
00:03:43.140He got the signatures, which is pretty easy. You'll mean like 300.
00:05:47.040She's, like, making videos, basically, like, mocking him and all of his previous positions.
00:05:51.360And there's tons of people out there trying to pretend like Mark Carney isn't against oil and gas.
00:05:56.380And that, oh, there's always more context around his comments.
00:05:59.040And the context is always just him justifying why it's okay to ruin the oil and gas industry.
00:06:04.840But here's Ruby Dalla, another candidate for the Liberal Party of Canada, who's actually marketing herself as, like, female Trump, critiquing Mark Carney.
00:06:13.760So far, carbon prices have been applied sparingly.
00:06:32.400Like, again, I would never vote for the Liberal Party, whether it's Ruby in the leadership or not.
00:06:37.740But, like, that's just hilarious that even in the Liberal Party, there's an idea that this might be popular, ripping on Liberal politicians for being too liberal.
00:06:46.160She was doing this in response to Mark Carney coming out today and saying, well, of course I'm against the carbon tax.
00:06:58.640It's still good that he is having to even – he's thinking he even has to say this.
00:07:03.380But what he's really going to do is he's just going to implement some other version of a carbon tax, like double the industrial carbon tax, which everyone pays that tax anyways.
00:07:12.620It's not like, oh, that's good because you're forcing big corporations to pay it, but you're not individuals.
00:09:00.300And then when you calculate the fact that probably Karina Gould has another 10%, and then you have some of these other people, Frank Bayless, with like five or so, and you have Ruby Dalla with like seven or eight.
00:09:12.820I think in a debate, there is a real chance for Mark Carney's campaign to utterly fall apart.
00:09:18.780Because right now, the biggest hit on Mark Carney inside the Liberal Party is he is just Justin Trudeau's fourth term.
00:09:25.360He is just the warm body that Justin Trudeau is using so that while he leaves office, he doesn't really leave office.
00:09:32.360Because Carney's campaign is slathered in all of the Trudeau team people.
00:09:37.480Katie Telford, Gerald Butts, Rob Silver, all of Trudeau's closest ministers are endorsing him, everyone from his wedding party.
00:09:47.280Justin Trudeau just hasn't come out and specifically endorsed Mark Carney, which he's not going to do because we'd be putting a hat on a hat at that point.
00:09:54.060And it would make Carney look bad, which really demonstrates how much Justin Trudeau is hated in this country.
00:09:59.620But if Freeland or Ruby or any of the other candidates who don't like Mark Carney get up on stage and they say that you have the entire team Trudeau behind you and you're pretending to be different.
00:10:10.360And they actually like all these people, again, don't deserve to be prime minister.
00:10:13.840Like, just least of all is Mark Carney.
00:10:17.220So I'm cheering for Mark Carney to lose to any of these people.
00:10:20.560But Chrystia Freeland, despite the fact she was deputy prime minister, has a way bigger case to say that she's the outsider because of all of the, frankly, pretty awful things they've been trying to do to her since she was taken out.
00:10:31.780The people that are endorsing Freeland are all the liberals with, like, kind of half a brain, like Anthony Housefather and whatnot.
00:10:40.420And it's like there's kind of like this big struggle session going on between people who are willing to, like, capitulate and endorse Carney and those who are, like, rebels.
00:10:50.480It's so weird to think of Chrystia Freeland as a rebel, but that's actually what's going on right now.
00:10:54.700And I think in a debate, Carney will not do very well because he has no leg to stand on on any of the policy stances he's taking or with any of the support he's getting from Team Trudeau.
00:11:04.540He can keep saying he's an outsider, but he is clearly the biggest insider in the race.
00:11:10.180Anyways, so that's it for me in this video, guys.
00:11:13.600I'm going to be back with another one later today.
00:11:16.380Definitely will be covering the Ontario provincial election a lot in the coming weeks.
00:11:20.480If you live in Ontario, actually, just a reminder, guys, please vote for the New Blue Party of Ontario.
00:11:45.680Ford and the PCs are literally indistinguishable from Bonnie Crombie to the point that they are proposing COVID-style relief spending in response to tariffs that they've only done everything in their power to steer into.
00:11:59.300Ford has been steering into tariffs because he thinks they will make him more popular by being the big puffed-out chest guy saying that Donald Trump can does not for sale even though he could have secured the border and we could have avoided all this.
00:12:11.700So vote for the New Blue Party, check out their website, New Blue Ontario, Google it.
00:12:18.120Think about running as a candidate for them if you're not a candidate.
00:12:20.940They want a candidate in every single riding.
00:12:23.180So throw your hat in the race if you want to make a difference and try and hold the Ontario PCs from getting another majority and being able to do whatever the heck they want.
