The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Liberals think floor-crossing will save them - They are WRONG!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. As you may know in physics, every action has an equal and opposite

00:00:07.560 reaction, and this absolutely applies to politics as well. Right now, what I am seeing going on

00:00:15.740 is Mark Carney and his liberal government being way overconfident about the one floor crossing

00:00:23.660 that they got, and then the resignation of conservative MP Matt Gennaro. He's not actually

00:00:30.080 resigning yet, but in the spring he will be leaving his seat. I think it's because the

00:00:34.560 conservatives think that there may just be a federal election at that time anyway, so why not

00:00:38.520 have him just serve another four or five months before leaving? But the liberals are gleeful about

00:00:45.160 this. This is the biggest political coup they've ever had in the past several years, and now they

00:00:52.120 are getting really, really cocky, thinking that they're untouchable. Of course, we're going to

00:00:57.900 have more conservatives come and join us. Maybe, maybe there are conservatives who will actually

00:01:02.640 cross the floor and join the liberals still. I feel like if there was a time to go, it would have been

00:01:07.880 with Chris D'Entremont. There you go. I always have to orient myself to say that again. But if there

00:01:16.600 was a time to leave, it was with Chris D'Entremont, or it was at the same time Matt Gennaro was announcing

00:01:21.120 that he was going to resign. I don't really see this as being a slow trickle, unless some shoe

00:01:26.460 drops with Pierre Polyev and a few people get sick of him and then leave, but I don't see that

00:01:31.420 happening. But the liberals are just gleeful, and I don't think they realize that the economy and the

00:01:39.480 budget are going to come back to bite them. They're just acting like nothing could be better than right

00:01:44.720 now. We had some random backbench Red Tory join us. The deputy whip of the conservative party

00:01:51.300 joined us. Ergo, we cannot be stopped, even though if you look at the polling, they used to have a

00:01:57.280 lead of around 10 points over the conservatives, and they've been diminished down to even the best

00:02:03.060 pollsters, giving them a 3% lead. And in other pollsters, the conservatives have a 1% to 2% lead.

00:02:09.880 But anyways, before I get into it, I just want to remind you guys that, hey, if you like the show,

00:02:14.720 on this video, subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber, and of course, leave a comment on

00:02:20.360 what you think about all this. But I want to start us off with this clip of conservative MP

00:02:25.920 Billy Morin asking the liberals a question about their budget, and them acting like, oh, who cares

00:02:31.880 about this? Harper had deficits too. None of this matters. I'm telling you, they are acting like this

00:02:38.620 because of the one floor crossing. They think nothing else matters anymore.

00:02:43.240 The liberals have introduced the most costly and largest budget deficit in history outside of

00:02:47.500 COVID. The cost of this liberal budget will drive up the cost of food, housing, and everything else

00:02:52.080 Canadians buy. The young families, seniors, and veterans in Edmonton Northwest are having to make

00:02:57.620 hard choices as the snow falls. It's costing more to heat their homes and feed their families.

00:03:01.960 But every day in this house, the liberals say families are just imagining higher living expenses 0.79

00:03:07.080 by their taxes and increased spending. So why is the prime minister breaking his promise to spend less

00:03:12.200 and pouring more inflationary fuel on the fire?

00:03:16.460 Reasonable question. And now let's get to a very unreasonable answer.

00:03:21.580 The Honourable Secretary of State for Defence Procurement.

00:03:25.540 Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Budget 2025 will enable Canada to step up to meet the moment

00:03:29.960 to include $82 billion for defence and security.

00:03:34.160 And here's a fun fact, Mr. Speaker. Stephen Harper's 2009 budget adjusted for inflation

00:03:40.980 is actually the biggest deficit budget in Canadian history with little to show for it.

00:03:45.820 We'll take no lessons from the Conservatives.

00:03:50.580 Look at that phase here as he sits down thinking he's really scored a big one right here.

00:03:55.820 No, they do not have a great gotcha on this. Harper's budget adjusted for inflation had a bigger deficit

00:04:04.740 than ours today. No. Well, yes, in raw terms. But if you actually take a more fulsome look at the

00:04:14.160 current budget, considering what our actual debt servicing costs were back in 2009, I believe it would

00:04:20.980 probably be below potentially $20 billion a year, if not lower. Five years ago, our debt servicing costs

00:04:27.440 were like $38 billion a year, $39 billion, which was really bad. That was the consequences of many

00:04:33.480 years of Justin Trudeau being in charge. But then he had another five years after that. And as of today,

00:04:38.800 our debt servicing cost is bigger than the health transfer budget. So we pay $54, $55 billion in just

00:04:47.880 debt servicing costs alone. And then we poured on a $78 billion deficit this year. Next year,

00:04:53.900 it's like $62 billion, then it's going to be $58 billion, and then it's going to be $55 billion.

00:04:58.260 It's not stopping. And you are going to pay even more debt servicing costs every single year.

00:05:04.000 The difference with Harper is he had balanced budgets. He then severely reduced the budget after

00:05:08.820 2009. That also was in the wake of the housing market crash in the United States that ended up putting

00:05:15.360 the world into a recession. And by the way, is he criticizing Mark Carney, who was the then governor

00:05:22.300 of the Bank of Canada? He was part of that Harper team, and it all tended to work out pretty well, mostly

00:05:27.660 because he was listening to Harper and Flaherty tell him what to do as the governor of the Bank of Canada,

00:05:33.040 you know, keep the monetary policy pretty stable. Let's not blow out the inflation. The liberals are blowing

00:05:39.120 out the inflation, blowing out the deficit. They are increasing our debt servicing costs every year. And our

00:05:45.340 actual spending has not been curved as much as they like to pretend it is. They act as if it's a more

00:05:51.680 conservative budget because they reduce some spending over here, even if it skyrocketed over here way more than

00:05:57.240 it was reduced on the service side. So we're reducing some overstaffing in some areas. But for every dollar that

00:06:04.420 we're saving and overstaffing, we spend another three or four dollars somewhere else on an infrastructure

00:06:09.980 project that's probably not going to be done on time, probably going to be over budget, and probably

00:06:13.860 not going to be as nearly as useful as the liberals are marketing it, like their clean energy grid system. 0.77

00:06:20.500 Anyways, but let's move on from that. And let's go talk about Mark Carney being interviewed yesterday,

00:06:28.760 making a snide remark about how, you know, things are looking pretty good with the liberal bench and we

00:06:34.760 only need a couple more conservatives to come over. More number before I wrap up. How many seats do you 0.95

00:06:40.040 need to have a majority? I can't remember. Do you want to answer? A couple. Just a couple. All right.

00:06:46.140 A couple. Thank you very much. So call your local MP if they're not a liberal and tell them.

00:06:50.840 Okay. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

00:07:02.520 You would think the man had just actually won a majority government. These guys are seriously over

00:07:10.140 cocky right now. And I want to jump over to a couple of clips from some news shows. One, CBC Power and

00:07:17.240 Politics. And then I also want to talk about our favorite YouTuber, Laura Babcock's The O Show. I

00:07:24.120 want to show you these two shows back to back to demonstrate how the media and leftist cheerleaders 0.52

00:07:30.760 like Laura Babcock are trying to turn this all into a big, you know, condemnation of Pierre Polyev as

00:07:37.560 a leader. Because they lost Chris Dontremont. Apparently, this is now an indictment of Pierre Polyev,

00:07:43.960 a guy who seemingly was just complaining about the fact that he didn't get to be the deputy speaker,

00:07:49.720 but they did let him be deputy whip. That was enough to make him leave. And that's apparently

00:07:54.920 a big failure on Pierre Polyev's part. And then we also have them try and talk about Matt Genereau and

00:08:00.440 how Matt on his way out is not nearly being complimentary enough of Pierre Polyev. And,

00:08:05.880 you know, it probably shows cracks are starting, are starting to show.

00:08:09.640 There on the news that Matt Genereau is resigning as a conservative member of parliament. Genereau,

00:08:15.080 who's an Edmonton MP, released his resignation letter just as MPs began voting on a conservative

00:08:20.280 motion to reject the Liberal budget. The Alberta Conservatives says he ran in the last election,

00:08:25.560 hopeful, but the outcome was not what he anticipated. And this all comes, of course,

00:08:29.880 after another conservative, Chris Dontremont, left the party and joined the Liberal caucus the same

00:08:35.240 day the government's budget was tabled. Lots to dig into with our reporter roundtable. Robert Fyfe is

00:08:41.800 the Ottawa bureau chief. Even, I'm not trying to nitpick here, but I don't feel like if we were talking

00:08:46.600 about liberal internal dissension, that David Cochran would be like, isn't this so bad now to you,

00:08:54.120 Mr. Robert Fyfe? Or whatever, I think it might be the other one. There's always these two guys,

00:08:58.680 the Globe and Mail who always co-write articles together. But like, come on,

00:09:02.760 they wouldn't have been talking like this if it was internal dissension in the Liberal ranks.

00:09:07.400 For the Globe and Mail, Mia Rabson is the deputy parliamentary bureau chief at the Canadian Press,

00:09:12.120 and Joël Denis Belavance is the parliamentary bureau chief for La Presse. And all three of you

00:09:16.920 are doing big rewrites of whatever you are going to file today to deal with this. Bob Fyfe,

00:09:23.480 the budget is now like, what, the number three headline of the week. I mean, what do we make of this

00:09:27.080 resignation on the heels of the defection? Well, it's very interesting. In his letter,

00:09:31.800 Mr. Jeannot praises Pierre Polyev before the election. But after the election, there are no,

00:09:40.680 that statement of his makes no mention of praise for Pierre Polyev. He also says that he needs to

00:09:46.840 spend time with his family. There's a back story that we all know in this city that there has been a

00:09:52.920 lot of pressure that was put on by the Conservative Party on Mr. Jeannot, a pressure that quite a

00:10:00.360 number of Conservative MPs are very upset about, because that's not the way to treat another colleague.

00:10:06.600 Sorry, but like, if the pressure was to prevent him, if this is true, from going to the Liberal

00:10:12.360 caucus, I'm sorry, are we hurting someone's feelings? By saying, hey, please don't, you know,

00:10:18.360 screw over your own constituents, by just completely flipping what party you represent.

00:10:23.720 And in fact, representing the party that was the opposite of what the majority of your constituents

00:10:28.520 wanted. Because let's be very clear, when you vote Conservative, in a lot of ways, it's because

00:10:33.560 you definitely do not want a Liberal in. Now, they're saying like, oh, well, you know, they're

00:10:38.600 saying it's about how he wants to go spend time with his family. And a lot of people have been like,

00:10:42.200 hmm, that's a likely story. His wife and his children, or I think he might have one child,

00:10:47.960 they moved to Victoria, and she's now working as a doctor or some sort of medical practitioner there.

00:10:53.800 And so there actually is a good reason for him to be leaving office. This was his last ride. If he

00:10:59.480 didn't get into government, maybe he wasn't really interested in running again. And well,

00:11:03.320 the guy has to live in Ottawa, and part time in Edmonton, and then try and part time it even

00:11:08.600 harder to go to Victoria to hang with family. I think that's a fine explanation. Maybe that's not

00:11:13.080 it. Maybe he wanted to go over the Liberal benches. But what was that stupid point,

00:11:17.800 Robert Fyfe made? Stephen Chase is the other one of the two guys. But Robert Fyfe said, 0.99

00:11:23.400 like, oh, he praised Pierpoli before the election in his letter, but he didn't praise Pierpoli after.

00:11:29.240 I'm like, well, considering that the only thing we know about from Matt Gennaro about his opinion of

00:11:34.680 Pierpoli is positive in the letter, I'm not sure if we can then say, oh, he didn't then say that he

00:11:40.120 loves him as of this November 6th, 5pm. Ergo, there's a lot of speculation we can create here

00:11:47.640 of Pierpoli is on the ropes and that we should all be saying tons of nice things about Mark Carney

00:11:52.520 because if Polyev is down, then Mark Carney is up, because that's what they're attempting to do.

00:11:56.760 They're putting down Polyev. So relatively, Mark Carney seems better. But I will get back to Robert Fyfe,

00:12:02.440 making his point. We will listen to the next guest a little bit. And then I do want to get over to Laura

00:12:06.520 Babcock. And that means who's next. And as one very senior conservative said to me, and I'll read

00:12:13.960 it right now. When Pierpoli loses MPs like Gennaro, you know, there's big trouble brewing.

00:12:21.240 Right. And there is follow, there is going to be follow from what happened to Mr. Gennaro.

00:12:25.720 When you talk about pressure, I'm sorry, is that Gennaro of Gennaro? I know people who know him.

00:12:32.040 Is he such a prize that this is like the death knell of the party? Frankly, did you know who

00:12:37.640 Matt Gennaro was before all this? I'm not saying not a good guy. I'm not trying to imply anything

00:12:43.480 like that. What I am merely saying here is that the way the media is acting feels extremely cynical,

00:12:50.600 that anything negative that happens is the nail in the coffin. Is this all good? No, I would never say

00:12:57.800 it's good. But at the same time, it's not really like the big collapse of Polyev's leadership that

00:13:04.680 people are making it out to be. It seems like a self-interested person left the party and a guy

00:13:10.200 who's probably on his way out anyways decided to just speed that up and leave early. But the idea

00:13:15.560 is like, oh, well, he's losing his strongest pillar, Matt Gennaro. Maybe he was like the guy holding

00:13:23.000 everything together. I don't know. And the whole idea that like, oh, someone's going to leave because of

00:13:27.160 the treatment of Matt Gennaro is like, if he was planning on going to the Liberals and someone

00:13:32.040 badgered him into stopping, you're upset that they badgered him to not do the right, wrong thing?

00:13:38.520 Like, I don't get the problem here. Sure. Pressure to not cross the floor? Pressure to not cross the

00:13:43.960 floor. To join the Liberals. So his choice was, if I'm not going to cross the floor because of unhappiness

00:13:50.200 with the style of leadership of Pierre Polyev, I can't stay in this caucus any longer because of the

00:13:56.120 way I've been treated. So I'm going to resign. It's quite a moment, Mia. And 2025 continues to

00:14:04.040 surprise me. And I kind of felt that was impossible at this point. I mean, what are your thoughts on

00:14:08.760 this and where it leaves things for the Conservatives? The year is still young. There's many more things

00:14:13.000 that will probably surprise us the way this year has gone. I mean, the timing of this is incredible,

00:14:16.680 right? I mean, we have a budget speech from the opposition leader yesterday, the day after he lost one MP.

00:14:24.120 And then today, it seems like maybe the dust had settled a little bit, like there wasn't seeming

00:14:28.760 to be people sort of were pulling back from the notion that there was going to be another flood of

00:14:32.200 floor crossers. And now we see this sudden resignation from, you know, a moderate MP from Alberta, 0.95

00:14:38.920 a well-liked MP, somebody who, you know, he may not be a household name for many Canadians,

00:14:44.920 but within the Conservatives. Yes, because he isn't a household name. I need to, I will be addressing in

00:14:49.640 a post later. I'm going to show you a post I made a couple days ago, just debunking this idea that

00:14:55.320 people have been spreading it. Oh, it shows that Polly can't win the next election because 0.90

00:15:00.280 moderates don't like him. Look, he lost D'Entremont and now we have Gennaro leaving. It doesn't mean

00:15:06.760 anything, guys. The idea as well that you have to talk moderate and you have to have moderate nothing

00:15:13.240 policies in order to bring moderates in is stupid. And by the way, I always just dismiss the idea 0.99

00:15:18.200 there's such a thing as a moderate voter. There are moderate MPs, which are just kind of do nothing,

00:15:23.880 don't really want to take hard stances on anything MPs. But when it comes to actual voters,

00:15:28.280 because they're not in office, they don't have a spotlight on them, they can have whatever opinion

00:15:31.560 that they want and as strongly as they want. Most voters don't tend to care about most issues,

00:15:36.600 but the issues they do care about, they really care about and they want strong action on them.

00:15:41.480 But all of this feels like an op in order to try and convince Pollyev to just become moderate and

00:15:48.440 squishy and don't say anything too intense. Just sit there and let the Liberals effectively win. Just

00:15:55.320 let them do what they want. But I would say he was respected as much as I know. It's a big blow to

00:16:00.920 Mr. Pollyev. I mean, he clearly was rattled yesterday in the House of Commons when he forgot to introduce

00:16:06.120 the Conservative amendment to the budget. You know, he's not focused obviously on what he should be focused on.

00:16:11.480 This is distracting for them and it's never going to be good news for the Conservatives.

00:16:15.560 I agree with Bob, the fallout of this is going to continue.

00:16:18.440 J.D., your initial reaction?

00:16:20.440 I just don't really see it. I don't see this being like the big story of the next six months.

00:16:26.280 It's what the Liberals, it's what the media would like to be the big story. And that's why,

00:16:30.680 again, you see a very smiley Liberal Party right now. You see a very smiley, jokey Mark Carney,

00:16:36.200 guys, ah, look at all those other guys having this internal chaos. But is the budget good? But

00:16:42.520 is the actual performance of the government good? This is the thing that is going to catch up to them.

00:16:48.680 Average people, you can jangle keys in front of the public's face for a little bit. Ah,

00:16:52.760 it's funny that there's internal chaos going on with the Conservatives. But do I actually like what is

00:16:56.520 happening right now in our own government? And I think that if you actually called an election,

00:17:00.440 election, the idea that the Liberals would, would win, it's not that they couldn't win. Obviously,

00:17:06.600 they could. But there, people are acting like there would be a done deal if election happened

00:17:10.520 right now. I don't think so. In fact, what you've seen in the polling is that the Conservatives have

00:17:15.640 been the party to maintain their support levels, and the Liberals have been the ones struggling to

00:17:20.200 hold on to the gains that they had made in the election. Some polls have them falling below their

00:17:25.400 election performance, some of them have them just coasting, which isn't great because you have a lot of

00:17:30.440 political advantages from having one government. Again, a lot of people tend to put a lot of

00:17:35.000 hope into you because you form the government and let's hope these guys are going to do a good job.

00:17:39.160 And that hope seems to have died off pretty quickly as this just feels like another Liberal government.

00:17:44.360 It feels like the Paul Martin 2004 government that can limp along a little bit longer, and they also

00:17:51.000 got a floor crosser in Belinda Stronich. It didn't save them from the poor fundamentals they had going on. 1.00

00:17:57.240 But here we have on Laura Babcock's show, of course, we have Guy up on the top left with his Redditor

00:18:04.120 glasses and his Black Lives Matter shirt, the random older gentleman on the bottom. And then we're going

00:18:09.560 to get to Laura Babcock having a bit of a meltdown over just her pure hatred for pure Polyev.

00:18:15.960 When the weather storm is coming, we're going to scare you to death for three days,

00:18:18.760 of the maximum fossil rate. And damn it, if the storm didn't skip the city yet again. 0.89

00:18:23.640 Everyone knows there's not going to be an election, but that was all the coverage post-budget was all 0.98

00:18:27.320 election, election, oh my god, we could have an election before Christmas, the second in the year.

00:18:30.600 No, we won't.

00:18:31.480 Never a chance of it. And you know what, I started doing a new regular weekly segment on 610 with

00:18:35.960 Jean Valaitis. And I think both weeks, I'm like, let's not even bother talking about it. Like, it's not

00:18:40.760 going to happen, right? I had conversations this week with people who can't stand the Liberal Party

00:18:48.920 for its legacy and what it's done to the economy, but voted for Carney because even they, as

00:18:54.120 Conservatives, couldn't stomach Polyev because, you know, they're smart people.

00:18:59.240 Does she not understand what she has just described? This is what I mean with overconfidence.

00:19:04.840 She has just described. People she knows hate the Liberal Party and in 2025, in the April election,

00:19:11.720 were willing to cast a ballot for the Liberals, probably because of the Trump issue, probably

00:19:16.920 because of the idea that, ooh, Carney is a more moderate man. Justin Trudeau was the problem,

00:19:22.920 Carney isn't the problem. But do you think that that person isn't going to revert to their more

00:19:30.120 strongly held opinion over time that the Liberals are incompetent with the budget

00:19:33.480 post this terrible budget? She's referencing people before the budget even came out,

00:19:39.160 saying that, yes, we do not like what the Liberals have done, but we just don't like Polyev.

00:19:44.360 Okay, you can have that opinion in the short run. As things get worse, you're really not going to be

00:19:49.800 casting a ballot. At the very least, those people are probably not going to show back up for Mark Carney

00:19:54.120 again. Whereas what Conservative constituency is abandoning Polyev? That's the thing. That is the 0.97

00:20:01.320 option to get rid of the Liberals. They have, and I think he's actually gotten better since the

00:20:05.160 election with stronger positions on immigration and the economy and whatnot. I think that what

00:20:10.440 you're going to really do is that as people continue to get sicker with the Liberals,

00:20:14.920 and as there's no more Trump issue, because it's clear it's just Liberal domestic policy that's

00:20:19.160 screwing with us, you're going to have all these people who were these one-off Liberal voters

00:20:23.160 coming back to the Conservatives, or at least they're going to stop voting Liberal. 0.92

00:20:26.760 If the Conservative Party isn't reading the freaking tea leaves on this and understanding,

00:20:31.240 it's not just that a majority of women can't stand Polyev and the misogyny from his supporters that I 0.92

00:20:37.000 am subjected to and other women is insane, right? It's not just that women can't stand. 1.00

00:20:42.680 Misogyny from their supporters. I mostly see women making fun of Laura Babcock because she is out of 1.00

00:20:48.600 her mind. She does not know how to emotionally orient herself. It's called emotional incontinence.

00:20:56.760 She goes really low and then she just blasts because she doesn't know how to regulate her 1.00

00:21:01.640 own emotions. It's not misogyny. It's not sexism. It's people pointing and laughing at somebody who

00:21:07.560 desperately doesn't understand politics and doesn't understand how to actually regulate themselves

00:21:14.440 emotionally. It's also that we can't stand his policies. When someone tried to tell him, say,

00:21:19.560 this week that, you know, Polyev is going to help people, poor people, people in affordability,

00:21:23.400 with the affordability crisis, I put out a list of all the things he's voted against in 20 years.

00:21:28.520 Does she know what she is? This is, this really proves she just genuinely doesn't know anything

00:21:33.400 about politics. Oh, I've looked at what he voted for. What do you vote for? Against big government

00:21:38.840 entitlement programs? Do you think that that is how a country gets wealthy? Because apparently

00:21:44.280 if that's how it works, the Soviet Union was wealthier than the United States in the 1980s.

00:21:48.600 And I can tell you, having not grown up in the 80s, that that is so that I don't need

00:21:53.240 the personal experience to know that it's not true. There was never a time when government

00:21:59.560 programs have ever made people wealthy. But that's how little Laura Babcock understands about politics.

00:22:05.240 She just thinks like, well, you know, Polyev voted against these social programs,

00:22:08.760 ergo she's not in favor of affordability. He's full of shit. And we know that we have a 20-year 1.00

00:22:14.120 record on this guy. He's peevish. He's pathetic. He's now lost control of his own caucus. The stuff

00:22:19.880 he puts out there outright lies about Canada having war zones, going after the RCMP. I mean,

00:22:24.920 no wonder MPs are crossing the floor. So by my math, we're at 170, I think, for the Liberals. Two away,

00:22:31.640 aren't we guys, Mark, from majority? Yeah, I think that, honestly, I think that Canadians aren't going to 1.00

00:22:38.520 really be upset, other than the MAGA hardcore, that these guys are moving over, or women are

00:22:43.720 going to move over. Because, you know, we need to get stuff built. Whether you love the budget,

00:22:47.720 or you hated the budget, the budget is a build budget.

00:22:51.640 Is it? Like, yeah, there's more infrastructure money in it. But what's this idea that you could

00:22:57.000 just keep throwing money into projects? And we're building, we're investing in the economy.

00:23:01.560 Not at all. These people are in a cult. They just rattle random crap off about Polyev. Oh, 1.00

00:23:08.520 he's lies. Lies about what? Oh, he attacks the RCMP. No, he didn't. He attacked the RCMP,

00:23:16.280 like, executive, because in many cases of Liberal corruption, they just basically didn't investigate.

00:23:22.680 They effectively just let the Liberals get away with it. Not that they burned documents, it's just

00:23:27.000 they didn't really press the Liberals to get anything. They gave them as much time as they

00:23:32.040 wanted to, to sort out their stories. They didn't compel testimony from staff members of

00:23:36.440 the Prime Minister's office in, like, the SNC-Lavalin scandal and stuff like that.

00:23:41.480 Like, what is she on about? Oh, he's, oh, have you seen his voting record? He doesn't like

00:23:46.840 affordability. He actually likes cutting taxes. So what are you talking about that he doesn't like

00:23:51.320 affordability? But again, this woman just believes that whatever the Liberals believe is good, 0.99

00:23:56.600 and whatever the Conservatives believe is bad, because she is in a cult. But now,

00:24:01.880 let's move on to one more thing. I just wanted to cover this one post that I wanted to react to.

00:24:06.520 Again, it's a bit of an overconfidence Liberal post, and I was reacting to it on social media

00:24:13.080 the other day. We had this one guy, Nate Maness, who is some form of a Liberal either staff member or

00:24:20.760 some sort of a guy just with the Liberal Party. And he said, and this is in the aftermath of

00:24:27.640 Chris D'Entremont leaving, he says, moderate Conservatives are being alienated by Polyev's 1.00

00:24:32.520 divisive and destructive approach to politics. For the sake of Canadian democracy and society,

00:24:37.480 as a partisan Liberal, I hope the Conservatives abandon this approach. Until then, red Tories are

00:24:42.360 welcome in the big Liberal tent. Now, I said to this, because I find this talking point so obnoxious,

00:24:50.920 so I responded in kind this way. This is such an obvious lie. Yes, Pierre Polyev has quote-unquote

00:24:59.160 alienated, I'm being sarcastic here, of course, I say, yes, Polyev has alienated moderate Conservatives,

00:25:05.000 which is why he got a higher percentage of the vote in 2025 than Scheer and O'Toole,

00:25:10.040 the man who apparently is the most appealing to moderates, me mentioning specifically O'Toole

00:25:14.360 being supposedly super, you know, a moderate whisperer. I go on to say, the Conservatives

00:25:20.440 made some bad local and national campaign decisions, and so just barely lost to Carney's

00:25:24.760 Liberals, who had the perfect news cycle to run on, and the NDP vote collapsed in large part because

00:25:29.800 of the weak and tired brand of then leader Jagmeet Singh. It is a myth that to win quote-unquote

00:25:35.640 moderates, a semi-mythical concept in and of itself, you need to speak in mild tones about

00:25:40.920 the mild change you plan on making in government. In reality, the vast majority of all voters are

00:25:46.520 baskets of issues they want serious action on. Very few want to vote for a non-incumbent party

00:25:52.040 that promises mild changes to what is currently in place. That is what voting for an incumbent is for,

00:25:57.960 in the sense that if you don't, if you generally like what's going on and you don't want many

00:26:01.480 changes, you vote for the incumbent. That's why O'Toole fell on his face, saying, let's do this 10%

00:26:06.920 more different than what Trudeau was doing, was not a very compelling message in 2021. 0.98

00:26:12.520 I finished it up there saying, this is basically a stupid rhetorical game to try and make 0.99

00:26:17.160 Conservatives lose their nerve. Since the April election, Polyev has rightfully strengthened many 0.99

00:26:21.880 of his positions, and in doing so has cemented his support base of 39 to 42%, while the Liberals,

00:26:27.800 have sunk below their April support levels in many polls since their honeymoon ended two months ago.

00:26:33.480 Which, of course, I agree with myself here, and some of my other friends who are into sort of

00:26:37.960 election analysis agreed, the Liberals had a massive overperformance. They are not going to be able to

00:26:44.760 repeat that performance. Laura Babcock basically indicated that the Liberals are going to have a 1.00

00:26:49.880 very tough time driving out their voters again to vote for them, because she just admitted in her

00:26:55.080 anecdote that the Liberals were relying on people who don't even like the Liberals. They could just

00:27:00.440 be convinced in a moment that Polyev is too much like Donald Trump so you have to vote for Mark

00:27:05.160 Carney, or at the very least Mark Carney is going to be the toughest on Donald Trump. Do you think in

00:27:09.560 spring when all the problems are worse and Carney hasn't fulfilled any of his promises to get a trade

00:27:13.960 deal signed and to fight for Canada, that you're going to have the same former Conservative voters

00:27:19.080 swapping over and continuing to vote Liberal? I really don't think so. Whereas if you want Polyev,

00:27:24.440 and it's not like you're fatigued out and you don't want to vote anymore, you want the Liberals out and

00:27:29.000 you generally like Polyev and his policies, you're very unlikely to be not to be swaying towards another

00:27:35.080 party. And I think especially the blue collar, hard hat wearing former NDP voters who put the Conservatives

00:27:41.400 over the top in ridings like Windsor, they're not going to suddenly, you know, scoot on back to the NDP if they

00:27:47.720 make Heather McPherson the leader, if they make some pro-Hamas communist the leader, they're probably 0.99

00:27:53.080 just going to stay away and keep voting Conservative because the Conservatives on a fundamental social

00:27:57.400 level understand them. Same thing with the fishermen in Newfoundland and Labrador. Same thing with East

00:28:03.800 Asian voters in places like Richmond and Richmond Hill and Markham where they're very concerned about

00:28:09.160 drugs and crime. I think that the thing that the Conservatives failed to do in this last election,

00:28:14.200 and they can win the next one by just doing this. Cut taxes 20% across the board.

00:28:19.080 Now I am a cultural Conservative and I want immigration slash too, and Polyev is already 1.00

00:28:23.880 doing that, that's why I'm not highlighting that. But on top of everything Polyev is already doing,

00:28:28.040 if he wants to win and not just win but get more than 190 seats, 20% across the board tax cut. Every

00:28:35.640 single tax bracket, corporate taxes, maybe even take 1% off of the GST. Just a slashing across the board,

00:28:43.160 I don't even care if Polyev runs a deficit for a year or two, as long as people are being given

00:28:47.960 their own money back and we can kickstart the economy again by getting the government off of

00:28:52.200 its neck. But anyways, that should be it for this video guys. The big takeaway is that as cheery as

00:28:59.880 the Liberals are, there is always another equal and opposite reaction that is going to take place

00:29:05.640 to the action of their overconfidence and their very poor budget. You know, people tend to actually have

00:29:11.480 to suffer the consequences of their own actions and the Liberals are not going to be the ones to

00:29:15.560 buck that trend. Anyways, with that all being said, thank you guys for watching. Like, share,

00:29:20.440 and subscribe and I'll see you guys all next time.
