00:00:00.440 Faced with terrible polling and the popularity rise of Conservative Party leader Pierre Paliop,
00:00:05.340 the Liberal Party of Canada has been floundering around looking for a campaign strategy that might
00:00:09.680 actually make Canadians start to slightly like them again, and they've been absolutely failing.
00:00:14.880 But as the Conservative Party convention has started it up, the Liberal Party has launched
00:00:19.460 their latest communication strategy that they truly believe will get Canadians back on their
00:00:24.220 side, and it's called lying. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of lying before, but it's where you say
00:00:29.520 something, and you pretend it's the truth, but it's actually not, and it's blatantly false.
00:00:33.780 And you might then say to me, Wyatt, but the Liberal Party's always lying. What are you talking about?
00:00:38.920 This doesn't make any sense. And what I'm saying is, while yes, the Liberal Party is always lying,
00:00:44.340 it's usually not as sad and pathetic as it currently is, because the Liberal Party usually at least says
00:00:50.340 something where if you squint, you can kind of see what they're saying. It's wrong, but it's wrong in
00:00:55.460 like a nuanced and creative way. These days, the Liberals are basically just slinging mud,
00:01:00.620 hopefully, like hoping that if they hit Polyev with something that sounds bad, that maybe, you know,
00:01:06.060 suburban voters might move back over to Trudeau around the 905 in the Vancouver area. I don't think
00:01:11.520 it's going to work, but I just want to break down some of the really stupid posts that they've been
00:01:15.300 making as the Conservative Party convention has been moving forward. So this was the one that kind of
00:01:20.140 kicked it all off on Twitter was the Liberal Party posting this graphic and header basically saying
00:01:26.360 that the Conservative Party is far right and they, you know, they want to cut services and, you know,
00:01:31.660 they don't care about climate change or whatever. And they want like literally the bottom of the post
00:01:36.800 is saying that they want to get like assault weapons back on the streets. As if, as if like the Liberal
00:01:42.320 Party have done anything to actually combat gang violence and gang shootings. Shootings on all the
00:01:47.260 major cities in Canada are up. And it's because the Liberal Party and the federal government do not
00:01:52.080 actually take, you know, crime seriously. There are so many like laws that they passed for bail reform
00:01:58.500 and all sorts of other sort of like reductions in sentences for drug and firearm crimes that have
00:02:03.940 been enabling career criminals on the streets. But whatever, it's the Conservative Party who is going
00:02:09.480 to let assault weapons back on streets because they don't want to target law-bying Canadian gunners.
00:02:14.280 Law-abiding Canadian gunners, by the way, are one third as likely to commit a violent crime compared to the
00:02:19.940 average citizen. That is how law-abiding a gun owner is in Canada. They know they don't want their gun
00:02:26.460 license taken away. So they act extra cautiously when it comes to anything that could be considered a
00:02:31.680 violation of any law in particular. Anyways, but that was how the Liberal Party started things off. And then it got
00:02:38.240 much, much cringier because they started like, you know, Pascal Saint-Ange, if I pronounced that
00:02:45.020 incorrectly, I don't care. She posted this on Twitter while the, like a couple of days before
00:02:50.020 the convention, like that Liberal video. And she said, by refusing to commit to protecting Radio
00:02:54.840 Canada, Polyev is telling Francophones across the country that their communities and families
00:02:58.840 deserve quality, like, and families don't deserve quality information and content in French.
00:03:03.520 And like, one thing, no. But Polyev is saying that you shouldn't have government liberal propaganda
00:03:10.000 in your language paid for by taxpayers on the airwaves. That's all he's saying. And to pretend
00:03:16.580 that his contention has anything to do other than like the actual ideology of the information coming
00:03:23.620 out, that his problem has anything to do with like, oh, he hates French Canadians having quality
00:03:27.820 information is completely ridiculous. And if anything, Pascal is actually effectively trying
00:03:33.920 to insinuate that, you know, French Canadian political YouTubers, independent radio stations,
00:03:39.880 all that, that's not quality. Well, the only things that are quality are when taxpayer money goes towards
00:03:44.940 it. That's how you know it's quality is when people effectively have their money stolen from them
00:03:48.680 to put out liberal propaganda on like the CRTC regulated airwaves. Completely ridiculous.
00:03:56.740 And I doubt that that messaging is going to do anything. The vast majority of Canadians want
00:04:01.100 the CBC be funded. And I don't doubt that that's any different in Quebec, especially because actually
00:04:05.640 Quebec, I remember, has quite a few independent TV and radio stations, which are usually far more,
00:04:12.320 far more popular than CBC and Radio Canada. Anyways, moving on to the next one. This one was quite fun.
00:04:19.640 Rachel, I'm going to try and pronounce the last names. I should have just said that going into this
00:04:24.240 that I'm not going to try and pronounce the last names. Raquel, a liberal MP from Sumriding said,
00:04:30.080 the gun lobby actively bragging about their influence over Pierre Polly of the Conservative
00:04:33.460 Party. If the Conservatives had their way, military style weapons would be back in our streets.
00:04:38.120 Liberal Party will never compromise in keeping Canadians safe. Then why are Canadians so much
00:04:42.720 more in danger these days? Maybe you could answer that to me, Raquel. Like what, why can't we at least
00:04:48.100 throw down some laws that actually hold criminals in prison? Why can't we crack down on gun smuggling?
00:04:53.080 Why can't we crack down on gang violence? Is it really the farmer who's protecting his property
00:04:57.600 with his own rifle that's the problem here? I really don't remember that there's a lot of
00:05:01.120 farmer gangs going around the country shooting up inner city communities. Ridiculous. But this is
00:05:06.660 what they think is going to play well, that the gun lobby is really big in the Conservative Party,
00:05:11.300 as if they think that Canadians are so stupid, they're going to hear gun lobby, and they're going to
00:05:15.580 assume that it's like a bunch of cartels going around wanting every Canadian to have some sort of
00:05:20.700 like a revolver, even if they aren't legally licensed. The CCFR and the NFA and all the other
00:05:26.980 gun lobby organizations, again, promote the responsible use of firearms. And again, Canadian
00:05:32.920 gun owners are some of the most responsible people in terms of following law in Canada.
00:05:37.700 Anyways, moving on to the next one, going down the lobby trail. Diane, another last name, said,
00:05:44.100 once again, the Conservatives talk out of both sides. While claiming, while they claim to champion
00:05:48.820 freedom, they're openly embracing anti-choice association of their convention. And they're
00:05:54.740 openly embracing anti-choice associations at their convention this weekend. Sorry, that was a little
00:05:58.420 bit awkwardly wording for me. And it was like, somehow he's like, Polyev is like violating his
00:06:03.820 commitment to freedom by allowing a pro-life group to be at his convention. Wouldn't it be the,
00:06:09.880 wouldn't it be awfully anti-freedom to kick out a conservative pro-life lobbying group from being at
00:06:16.320 the convention? That's completely ridiculous. And I believe that vast majority of Canadians are
00:06:21.140 actually in favor of some restrictions on abortion. And it's not a, it's not a restriction of freedom
00:06:26.100 to say, you know, maybe if you stab a pregnant mother, there should be an upgraded sentence.
00:06:31.020 Maybe a ninth bunch of abortion is a bit much. Maybe we should actually have some rules on like,
00:06:36.820 up like a practice that's not exactly super ethical. That's not an anti-freedom position,
00:06:41.460 but that's what the liberals consider freedom these days. Not freedom to be able to spend your
00:06:45.080 own money, be able to have oversight over your kids at school, or be able to make any medical
00:06:49.620 choices for yourself. That's not real freedom. It's only real freedom if you're, if you're aborting
00:06:53.600 a child. That's what, that's what freedom's all about. But whatever. Anyways, but moving on,
00:06:58.900 here's another tweet from the Liberal Party. Well, during, like right before the convention,
00:07:03.840 they said, we're supporting provinces and territories deliver better healthcare for
00:07:07.260 Canadians, investing to reduce wait times, improve access and support workers. Pierre
00:07:11.400 Polyev, he filibustered to block healthcare transfers. Now, what do you think actually went
00:07:16.240 on there when Pierre Polyev filibustered a healthcare transfer? He didn't vote against it. He just spoke
00:07:21.240 in faith. He just spoke while they were discussing some sort of a policy on healthcare in order to
00:07:27.040 hold it up to maybe have an amendment added or something like that. When has Polyev ever said he
00:07:31.660 want to end healthcare transfers? Because that is what that tweet is implying. And that is a blatant
00:07:36.340 lie. Unless they can point to Polyev saying, I think we should get rid of healthcare transfers.
00:07:40.620 They're effectively just trying to smear him with innuendo. And it's completely ridiculous. But,
00:07:46.240 and I don't think, yeah, I don't think Canadians actually buy this crap, which is why the Liberal
00:07:50.100 Party, like I'll show on screen, is literally at 26% in the latest abogus data poll compared to the
00:07:55.440 Conservatives, 40%. Anyways, moving on to a couple of the last posts. Of course, Stephen Gilbeau had
00:08:01.540 to show up at this convention, both through social media and, like I'll show later, also in real life.
00:08:07.540 Stephen Gilbeau said, last time the Conservatives had a convention, they didn't agree that climate
00:08:11.440 change is real. Okay, now let me just cut that off right there. The Conservative Party said no such
00:08:15.760 thing. The Conservative Party has never denied that there's climate change. Even the people who voted in
00:08:20.040 favour of the measure that he's trying to refer to believe climate change is real, their whole contention
00:08:25.320 is that Canada cutting back carbon emissions is not going to make a significant difference on the
00:08:32.200 change of the climate. I remember the exact policy because I voted against the policy that
00:08:37.660 Erin O'Toole's people put forward, because it was worded in such a way to basically imply that unless the
00:08:42.700 Conservative Party adopts a Liberal-style carbon tax, that somehow we don't believe in climate change. And we
00:08:48.000 didn't take the bait, so we just voted against it anyways, because we don't really care what the
00:08:52.120 media thinks, because we don't want a stupid tax levied on us that does not help the climate and
00:08:57.580 hurts Canadian families. That's what that was all about. But moving forward, Stephen Gilbeau then goes
00:09:03.800 on to say, now after a year of climate catastrophe, and also, hey, climate catastrophe, this year's
00:09:09.300 climate catastrophe? Stephen, your government has been in power for more than eight years. What are you
00:09:14.760 talking about? What have we, what have you guys been not doing that's been making this climate
00:09:18.560 catastrophe happen? If you admit that it's out of your hands, and the government cannot control the
00:09:23.480 climate, well, then you're on the Conservative side of the aisle now. And if not, you have to admit all
00:09:27.960 of your policies fail, and you guys haven't been, you know, working hard enough to actually stop these
00:09:32.320 climate catastrophes from happening. And by the way, a lot of this could be solved with better forest
00:09:36.940 management. If you let deadwood build up, you will have massive forest fires every once in a while.
00:09:41.900 It's just how real life works. Sorry, Stephen. Anyway, sorry, I'm cutting myself off a lot here.
00:09:48.960 Anyway, it says, now after a year of climate catastrophe, the only proposal are to gut
00:09:52.560 environmental programs to make it free to pollute. And they think it will magically gut GHG so much
00:09:57.660 for a wise policy. What are you talking about? The policies that they're voting on would move Canadian
00:10:04.020 natural gas and oil to be shipped overseas to replace things that are dirtier forms of energy like coal
00:10:09.960 and burning wood and even burning like human waste like they have to do in some countries because
00:10:14.380 they do not have cheap and affordable energy. Frankly, if you do not support the exportation
00:10:18.920 of Canadian energy, you're effectively saying that certain people on this world can stay poor and be
00:10:24.200 more likely to die of exposure and other sorts of lack of resources. I don't really care about the
00:10:29.780 environmentalist agenda that somehow it like that the only thing that matters is the climate.
00:10:34.560 I think that what matters is actual human prosperity first and the climate second. If the climate is
00:10:40.280 severely infringing on human prosperity, we should do something about it. Right now, people not having
00:10:45.400 enough money to get by, people not having energy is a far bigger problem than the climate ever was.
00:10:51.560 But anyways, moving on again. But he said, our government has put in place a leading emissions
00:10:56.640 reduction plan and launched the first national adaptation strategy on climate. We achieved the best
00:11:01.220 emissions reductions among G7 countries since the pandemic. And we're in position, we are
00:11:06.020 positioning our economy and our workers for a strong, healthier future. Now, that's a very interesting
00:11:11.040 metric. We achieved the best emissions reductions among G7 countries since the pandemic, because in
00:11:17.640 reality, the emissions have never actually gone down under Justin Trudeau's government. They've only gone up
00:11:22.380 and he's pinpointing the pandemic because that's when everyone was stuck in their homes and couldn't drive
00:11:27.400 their cars. So in Stephen Gilboa's feverish, fever-dreamed environmental utopia land, we should
00:11:34.160 all be locked up in our houses, unable to drive our cars or be in some sort of a state where we are not
00:11:38.700 allowed to use our vehicles. That's the only reason that Canada reduced emissions more than other
00:11:43.160 countries, because we happen to have harsher lockdowns than most under the country. So we didn't
00:11:47.360 get to drive almost anywhere. We almost had to exclusively stay at home doing nothing. That's Stephen
00:11:53.480 Gilboa's environmentalist utopia plan to basically make a way for us to not be able to drive at all.
00:11:59.600 Because I guarantee you, if people are driving EVs, we would still have sky-high, we'd probably still
00:12:05.920 have sky-high emissions. We'd probably even have higher emissions because EVs actually tend to burn
00:12:10.620 a lot more fuel than you would think because, you know, the actual grids that they're on are not
00:12:15.300 exactly green and green energy is not as green as people say it is. Anyways, but I just wanted to end
00:12:21.340 this whole thing up by covering Stephen Gilboa's fairly embarrassing trek out to the Conservative
00:12:25.860 Convention, get a little bit of attention for himself and basically cry at Pierre Polyev from
00:12:31.460 outside the Convention Centre, which I am not sure if he thinks is the win that he believes it is.
00:12:36.720 But I just wanted to play this clip right here for everyone.
00:12:39.900 Frankly, it's very easy to attack Pierre Polyev on the environment. Someone who claims to be a political
00:12:46.800 leader in 2023 who does not even believe in climate change, who does not believe that we should be
00:12:51.440 doing anything about climate change, who accused me of being the source of some of the forest fires
00:12:57.080 we've seen. I suppose that environment... Sorry, when did Pierre Polyev accuse him of being the source
00:13:02.240 of the fires? I don't think he ever did. He's just making stuff up.
00:13:06.580 ...also responsible for tropical storms that we're seeing. You know that for the first time in history
00:13:11.240 this year, we're having Category 5 hurricanes in all seven water basins of the world. We've never
00:13:17.820 seen that. I suppose that environmentalists are responsible for that as well.
00:13:21.760 This is a complete misnomer. There used to be far higher amounts of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes and
00:13:28.560 tornadoes before the 1960s, and then there was a falling off point after the 1960s, and now we're just
00:13:34.500 starting to have a few more Category 4 and 5 hurricanes than we've had over the past 50 years. But these
00:13:39.940 things used to be extremely common around like the 1910s, 1920s. Just go back through the history.
00:13:44.940 There's massive storms that would like just wipe out entire like towns, and you just like see like
00:13:49.580 casualty ratings in the thousands back then. It was always considered not normal, but it was like
00:13:54.280 not unheard of for that to happen back in the day. The floodings in Nova Scotia, is it environmentalist
00:14:00.240 fall? Ice storms? I mean, it's really easy to attack people. Yet again yesterday, he falsely claimed
00:14:08.620 that Ottawa is working to take away Quebecers' money to send it to Ottawa on carbon pricing.
00:14:15.340 This is false. The Quebec government has its own system. They've had their own system for years,
00:14:21.460 and Ottawa allowed them to keep their system because...
00:14:23.620 Now, this one ticks me off because I know the lie he's going for here. He's saying that because
00:14:28.860 Quebec already had its own carbon tax, that the Liberal Party of Canada, the government of Canada,
00:14:34.640 is not going to take money away from the Quebec government in carbon tax, basically like dues or
00:14:41.420 fees. But that's completely false because the thing is that you are allowed to keep your own program
00:14:47.200 as long as your program kept up with the Liberal standard on the carbon tax. The Liberal federal
00:14:54.200 standard on the carbon tax is the minimum. If you're like BC and yours is a little bit higher,
00:14:59.120 the Liberal government is not going to require you to pay more. But if it's under the limit,
00:15:04.100 they will make you pay. So Stephen Gilbeau is just objectively lying. And because the Liberals have
00:15:09.500 been raising their carbon tax so much, they're effectively forcing Quebec to adopt the federal
00:15:13.660 standard or pay up to what the federal standard would require them to for emissions. But whatever,
00:15:19.580 that's just... He just assumes that he'll throw out some technicality right there and everyone will go
00:15:24.340 for it and not actually question what he's saying. And that's always what I find with a lot of the
00:15:29.400 environmentalist activists is that they'll tell you just sort of... They always get off on
00:15:33.320 technicalities on somehow like they're like, you know, solar is actually fantastic or wind actually
00:15:39.960 generates more power and it's more efficient than like natural gas if you look at this extremely
00:15:44.400 narrow metric. And that's exactly what I think Gilbeau is doing. But I just wanted to quickly go
00:15:48.660 jump over to another clip just from Andrew Lawton, because I think he asked Stephen Gilbeau a great
00:15:54.700 question that Stephen Gilbeau did not exactly like. You mentioned extreme events like wildfires
00:15:59.220 and hurricanes. Why has your carbon tax not stopped those things if that is the answer to these problems?
00:16:03.820 This is... This question, which I've heard in the House of Commons by many Conservative Party members,
00:16:09.000 including Pierre Poyev, is yet another example of the fundamental disbelief that you have in climate
00:16:16.720 science and in science, full stop. We won't solve climate change overnight. And we certainly won't
00:16:21.560 solve climate change with empty slogans. It's... Oh yeah, we can't solve climate change with empty
00:16:27.760 slogans. But I like how he accuses Andrew Lawton of somehow being anti-scientific, because you don't
00:16:32.720 believe that levying a tax on an inelastic good being gasoline is going to reduce emissions. It's
00:16:39.700 impossible to reduce the use of a specific resource that people need to get by. If you tax
00:16:46.480 food, people are not going to stop eating food. If you tax the gas that goes into people's vehicles
00:16:51.740 that they need to get to work, they're not just going to start biking unless you raise the carbon
00:16:56.120 tax by five or six times higher, which is ridiculous. But you're never going to stop
00:17:00.380 making... Stop people from driving their vehicles. Although, again, like we saw in Stephen Gilbeau's
00:17:05.540 previous post, his great achievement was forcing people not to drive their cars by keeping them locked
00:17:10.640 up at home. That was what he thought was a great victory. But you're somehow anti-scientific.
00:17:15.120 If you think that a redistributionary tax that doesn't actually go towards anything to do with
00:17:20.380 the climate is somehow not reducing emissions. If you believe it's not reducing emissions,
00:17:25.280 you just hate science. And Stephen Gilbeau is here to teach you a lesson about it. Whatever.
00:17:29.520 But this is the kind of stuff that the Liberal Party has been doing around the Conservative Convention.
00:17:33.520 I think it's just truly pathetic. I don't think that they're going to be getting any... I don't think
00:17:38.400 they're going to get any juice out of this. The media is going to cover it. There's going to be
00:17:41.600 op-ed saying that, oh, the Liberals are right. The Conservatives are far right. Pierre Paulyov is
00:17:47.680 intolerant. They do want children to get shot in the streets and stuff like that. But the average
00:17:52.560 Canadian seeing the result of Liberal policies realizes that the fact that the Conservatives are
00:17:58.320 advocating effectively for the opposite is probably a good thing. Because the opposite of everything the
00:18:03.520 Liberals have been pushing forward is probably exactly what Canada needs.
00:18:07.440 Chinese. Anyways, that should be it for me today. You know, I have my normal donation links in the
00:18:12.640 comments below. I'm being sued by a Chinese billionaire for defamation. Completely ridiculous.
00:18:18.800 I'm currently winning the case, but I've had to pay over $15,000 into defending myself. And he actually
00:18:23.360 just pushed back the questioning date by a month because I think he's trying to run away from this case right now.
00:18:27.520 But if you can help donate to my Give, Send, Go, that'd really help sort of reduce the burden of
00:18:32.880 costs on myself. As well as make sure to sign up for the TNT email list in the description below.
00:18:38.560 Because Ben Shapiro is having a live show in Southwest Calgary in November, on November 16th.
00:18:44.160 And if you sign up on that TNT email list, I'll be making sure to put out an early bird ticket code
00:18:50.560 so that you're able to buy the tickets for the event a few days before everyone else is able to get
00:18:54.800 access to them so that you can guarantee a spot at one of the two events happening on the 16th.
00:19:00.000 Anyways, that should be it for me today. And I hope everyone has a lovely day.
