00:00:00.000 I'm a sucker for brutally stupid political communications content, and I don't know how
00:00:05.600 this slipped through my fingers, but NDP MP Charlie Angus did a press conference about six
00:00:11.300 days ago trying to promote his really silly private members bill, trying to curb and regulate
00:00:16.960 the free speech of those who want to promote oil and gas in Canada, which is literally trying to
00:00:22.300 treat oil and gas speech as being somehow worse than promoting terrorism. Charlie Angus being a
00:00:29.380 man who doesn't care if there are pro-Hamas people running around the streets going after
00:00:33.560 Jewish people, but you better not talk about the benefits of petroleum products. Anyways,
00:00:39.160 I want to react to this today. Here's the video. Here's Charlie Angus making a fool of himself.
00:00:44.860 Last summer, over 200,000 Canadians were forced from their homes because of massive climate damage.
00:00:50.620 Oh, we better lock people up for liking oil and gas then.
00:00:54.080 In cities across North America, children could not go outside because of the risk to their health.
00:00:59.380 The number of days where the smoke from burning wildfires was rated as extreme threat to human
00:01:04.520 health lasted straight through the fall. Yeah, it's called a forest fire season. It's a wildfire
00:01:10.780 season. The actual fire scene in 2023 wasn't that bad. We just had kind of moderately bad fire seasons
00:01:17.800 in multiple provinces. When per capita, we've had far worse fire seasons in individual provinces.
00:01:23.860 We just happened to have fire seasons in three or four provinces. So it made the whole year seem
00:01:29.200 extremely bad when we've had fires that have burnt significant portions of entire provinces
00:01:34.300 that kind of fly under the radar because just fires didn't happen elsewhere. So people kind of
00:01:39.300 don't notice how bad that year was for that individual province. And also, why is this lady wearing a 1.00
00:01:45.480 stethoscope? Is she a doctor speaking to the idea that we shouldn't be allowed to promote energy policy in
00:01:53.420 Canada? We shouldn't be able to promote pro-energy policy? This is ridiculous.
00:01:58.820 Canada's oil and gas industry is not just killing the planet. The impacts are killing people. And yet...
00:02:06.300 Which people? Who was killed by the oil and gas industry? That's actually a very serious accusation.
00:02:12.660 Just to say, yes, the oil and gas industry is killing Canadians. Which Canadians? Or is this any
00:02:18.180 time a forest fire happens? Any natural disaster happens and someone tragically passes away? Charlie
00:02:23.260 Ankus is going to come and do a tap dance on their grave while promoting the idea that somehow you
00:02:28.400 should be jailed for liking like oil and gas products. Oil and gas projects in which save millions of
00:02:34.240 people's lives every year in Canada because we would all die for the most part outside of certain
00:02:38.760 provinces if we did not have petroleum products to warm our homes. This man is a nutcase. I don't want to hear
00:02:44.740 from intellectual types. It's the NDP and the liberals who are sober-minded, serious policy makers.
00:02:51.700 They're policy wonks who really like the detailed public policy. Charlie Ankus is a first-rate moron.
00:02:57.840 These people are nuttier than any conspiracy theorist-type populace you could find for me.
00:03:04.100 He thinks that we should jail people for liking oil and gas. This guy's like RFK Jr. in the U.S. who
00:03:10.120 thinks that you should be jailed for not thinking that man-made global warming is going to ruin us
00:03:16.180 all or whatever. That's his actual position, RFK Jr. It's insane. And Charlie Ankus probably considers
00:03:21.560 himself an intellectual compared to pure poly, yet this is what he's pushing. Again, I still come back
00:03:28.220 to it. What is the lady doing with the stethoscope? 1.00
00:03:30.760 The oil and gas lobby continues to pump enormous sums into advertising campaigns to falsely claim
00:03:37.720 the benefits of allowing even more burning of fossil fuels.
00:03:41.700 So heeding people's homes for a cheap price is not a great benefit. And why do you think the oil and
00:03:48.640 gas industry has to spend so much money promoting themselves? It's almost like the government's
00:03:53.760 trying to regulate them to death. So they are running a public relations campaign so that people
00:03:59.120 like Charlie Angus do not ruin them. That is not trying to prevent the public from letting Charlie
00:04:04.600 Angus ruin them. That is completely above board. Basically, Charlie Angus is saying, I can't believe
00:04:10.620 that these oil and gas companies won't let me bully them out of like into bankruptcy. I can't believe
00:04:16.000 them. Charlie Angus is a complete political hack. If you oppose any of his policies, he considers that
00:04:21.700 like an element of fascism. This guy is like politically unhinged. It is this kind of granola naturalist
00:04:29.360 type NDP person who thinks that anything but like, you know, solar panels and wood cabins is like,
00:04:37.360 you know, somehow bourgeois decadence and it must be eliminated. The fact that your children do not
00:04:43.340 freeze to death in the winter is bourgeois decadence and we have to do away with it. There is no such
00:04:49.100 thing as a moderate NDP MP anymore. I actually used to think maybe Charlie Angus was going to be a
00:04:55.080 little bit more moderate to compare to Jagmeet Singh. Even Jagmeet Singh will not back up the stupid
00:04:59.800 private members bill. He's basically saying, well, yeah, different MPs can have different opinions because
00:05:04.320 the Alberta and Saskatchewan NDP are now threatening to separate themselves from the federal party.
00:05:10.980 Also, doesn't that give the lie to the fact that the Alberta NDP in the provincial election out in
00:05:16.460 Alberta, we're saying we're not tied to the federal party at all. We're two separate distinct parties.
00:05:21.360 Then why are you guys threatening to separate yourselves? Whatever.
00:05:27.020 Over the last 60 years, they've spent billions suppressing evidence of the damage that they are
00:05:32.240 knowing and doing to our planet.
00:05:34.320 They knew all along they were destabilizing our planet, our climate, our climate, putting in our
00:05:40.600 like they've covered it up. How did they cover it up? Show me the cover up. It can't just be that
00:05:47.260 they promote the benefits of oil and gas and they cast doubt on your very flimsy evidence that somehow
00:05:54.160 burning of fossil fuels is what is the primary contributor to climate change. There's just not a
00:05:59.980 lot of evidence there. And it doesn't, there's not a lot of evidence to the fact that if Alberta or
00:06:04.020 like Canada stops pumping oil and gas, I know they do a lot in Newfoundland as well, if we stop
00:06:09.420 pumping oil and gas, somehow emissions worldwide will fall when it would just create a market for
00:06:14.700 more drilling elsewhere.
00:06:16.960 Planet in a crisis from which we may not be able to recover. And now that the planet is on fire.
00:06:22.920 Oh, it's on fire, guys. It's on fire.
00:06:26.320 They're shifting their propaganda with false claims of producing cleaner products.
00:06:30.680 They literally do. Even truck companies. A truck in 1970 used to burn far dirtier than one does
00:06:38.460 now. And dirtier is kind of like a relative term. I don't even really like that kind of language.
00:06:42.800 It produces far less emissions than it used to. A tank of gas break takes you way further with a truck
00:06:48.220 now than it used to. But Charlie Angus doesn't know about that. Is Charlie Angus committing a cover
00:06:53.520 up right now like he accuses oil and gas companies of doing? Did he drive home in a car, by the way,
00:07:00.560 even an electric car? Was he using coal or natural gas power plant energy? The man's a complete
00:07:05.960 hypocrite. I doubt he cares at all about the environment in his own day to day life. He just
00:07:10.660 likes using this as a stump to sort of use like to promote his political career. Also, what is that
00:07:17.560 lady doing with a stethoscope? I still don't like it. I hate it. It's just so stupid. I need you,
00:07:23.520 I need you to show up to my press conference. Make sure to bring your stethoscope along so people
00:07:28.180 know that you're a doctor. Clown world. This is why I'm so proud to stand here today
00:07:33.280 with representatives of Canada's medical community to state that the time has come
00:07:38.560 to ban all oil and gas advertising. Bill C-372 will, quote, provide a legislative response to a
00:07:47.280 national public health and environmental problem of substantial and pressing concerns. The bill will
00:07:52.880 make it illegal for big oil and gas lobby and the gas lobby or their front groups or paid
00:07:58.260 influencers. Front groups. Well, he's talking about them like they're terrorist organizations. Like
00:08:02.340 there's Hamas front groups out there. There's oil and gas jihadis running around trying to convince you
00:08:08.620 that, you know, you should keep your gas on it when it's really cold outside.
00:08:13.380 We promote the burning of fossil fuels as a benefit to the public.
00:08:17.120 Oh, it's only ever been a detriment. Yes, everyone. Guys, if you like Charlie Angus and
00:08:23.080 you agree with his position, please go outside of your house. There's a little gas tap. You can turn
00:08:28.060 it off. And if you really believe in what he's saying, do that for me right now. And then you can
00:08:33.500 come back and finish the video if your power hasn't gone out.
00:08:36.420 The legislation will make it illegal to falsely claim that the use of one fuel, fossil fuel product
00:08:42.520 is somehow better than another fossil fuel product in improving the environment.
00:08:47.020 What? And this legislation, they're all bad, will target advertising that falsely claims that oil
00:08:53.740 and gas are having a positive impact on the global economy. You can't even say it has a positive effect
00:09:00.820 on the global economy. Something that is inarguable. Like Charlie Angus isn't just stupid. He's just
00:09:07.620 anti-factual. He is actively stumping against the concept of facts, that you can't even say that
00:09:13.700 oil and gas contributes to the economy in a good way. And he's probably going to come back and say,
00:09:18.980 well, you can't say that because it's setting the world on fire, even though environmental deaths,
00:09:23.980 deaths due to environmental conditions have fallen sharply since we started using oil and gas as our
00:09:30.140 main energy source rather than things like coal or wood.
00:09:33.060 will make it illegal for Canada's oil and gas giants to falsely identify themselves with the
00:09:39.800 health, positive lifestyles of Canadians, or with reconciliation of Indigenous people on who
00:09:46.060 Oh, no, yeah. No, Charlie Angus doesn't think... You getting, like, jobs to Native communities? Bad. 1.00
00:09:52.320 Charlie Angus wants them to be poor and, like, and without employment. Charlie Angus and all these
00:09:58.040 people who think, like, we care about Indigenous people very deeply. We want true reconciliation.
00:10:02.820 And then they effectively treat them like third-class citizens and don't even let them have jobs. They
00:10:08.060 stump against them. They hire, basically, like, they realize that activist groups actively hire people
00:10:13.840 out of the Indigenous community to falsely stump against oil and gas, even though it's good for the 0.99
00:10:18.480 community. These people are complete hypocrites. These people don't care about Indigenous people 0.91
00:10:23.020 whatsoever. They would rather see Indigenous people become poorer in order so that they can feel a 1.00
00:10:28.460 little bit better while they jet around the planet talking about how much they care about climate change.
00:10:32.840 Whose lands the toxic contamination is highest. The big tobacco moment has arrived for companies like
00:10:40.200 Suncor, Imperial, and the oil and gas giants. How many people have died from lung cancer from oil and gas?
00:10:47.580 I really doubt it's more than five. Ever. Of Canada.
00:10:53.580 Wow, that man is an MP in our country, guys. Isn't it a great time to be alive? Isn't it fantastic that a man
00:11:00.300 like that can, you know, actually get elected around here? I just need to now look up what, what riding is
00:11:06.380 this man in? I need to see if he can be beat because that will at least give me a little bit of hope for
00:11:11.640 this country. Timmons James Bay. 338. I want to see what the projections are looking like.
00:11:20.480 Oh, yes, guys, there's hope. Right now, they project that if the election was held today,
00:11:26.020 most likely Charlie Angus would still win, but it's about 40% NDP to 37% conservative. And even this is
00:11:33.380 probably showing the PPC doing way better than they should. They're showing them at 8%. I guarantee that
00:11:38.180 they swap the PPC or swap to conservative to defeat this guy. Yeah, they give the conservatives
00:11:43.740 currently a, what is it? I want to see the percentages. 34% chance of winning. If you live
00:11:48.780 in Timmons James Bay, vote against this monumental gaffling moron. Ugh. Anyways, if you've watched
00:11:55.720 this far, I just want to quickly mention the fact that I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary
00:11:59.740 Signal Hill conservative party nomination. If you live in that riding, please buy a membership and vote for
00:12:04.580 me. Unless you live in the Green Bar or Boness areas, they're being removed from the riding when
00:12:09.180 boundaries change because we're getting a few more ridings in Alberta. Other than that, just check
00:12:13.560 out the website. If you live in the area, sign up for the membership, like the email list, you know,
00:12:18.080 buy a membership. Let me know if you did. And if you want to donate to my legal fund, that's also
00:12:22.760 in the description of this video below. So, you know, if you want to help us out with the legal costs
00:12:28.600 we have, we have this billionaire suing us for a stupid defamation case. He's never submitted
00:12:32.740 the evidence we defamed him. Everything that our guest writer said about him was based off
00:12:36.900 reporting that was multiple years old by that point. And he's just kind of assuming that he
00:12:41.980 can try and like intimidate us into giving him a false apology so he can feel big and powerful
00:12:46.800 or whatever. So if you want to donate to that, give us and go links in the description below.
00:12:50.720 I hope you guys kind of like these a little bit more casual reaction videos. I'm having fun with them,
00:12:55.920 especially when I get to laugh at a man like Charlie Angus. But I'll see you guys next time
00:13:00.280 with another video or live stream.
