00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. What I'm about to show you in just a moment here has been true for
00:00:05.900 quite a while, but I have to admit it stuns me every single time I see this statistic.
00:00:11.740 You probably are aware of how badly the liberals are doing in the polls these days. I do talk a
00:00:17.040 lot about polling. They poll as low as 21% in some polls or as high as 26% or 27% in others.
00:00:24.560 Even those 27% are becoming extremely rare. But when you actually ask people, do you want to see 0.95
00:00:31.680 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the liberals reelected? This is being asked to every person
00:00:36.320 answering this poll, everyone who said that they were voting liberal. You only get 14% of people
00:00:41.500 actually saying that they want to see the liberals get reelected to another government. So in this
00:00:46.940 abacus data poll, 23% of people said that they were voting liberal. Only 14% said they actually want
00:00:52.980 them to win. That is not a vote of confidence. That's basically just saying, I like my local
00:00:58.540 guy, but I wish Trudeau would pack sand. This is why, and I've brought this up in a couple of videos
00:01:03.600 now, you have people like liberal MP Alexander Mendez from the writing of Brassard near Montreal
00:01:10.780 saying that, yeah, my own constituents want Justin Trudeau to step down and let someone else be leader.
00:01:16.240 There's a lot of people who identify as liberals and when a pollster says, who are you going to vote?
00:01:20.720 They just say liberal. But when you ask them the deeper question, do you actually like these
00:01:24.720 people? That's when it becomes a hazier question for them. The answer becomes uncertain. And part of
00:01:32.280 this is because obviously the federal liberals have performed terribly on policy since they've been in
00:01:38.440 government. They are just activists through and through. They always take the activist path over
00:01:43.740 the practical path. What, this program isn't working? Just double the budget. Oh, people can't afford
00:01:49.340 homes? Well, inflate the market even more because let's only ever try and meet demands, like the
00:01:57.460 demand for housing with more money given to people. Basically, people can't afford houses, so why don't
00:02:02.420 we just cut them a check so they can buy a house, which has never worked in human history because it's
00:02:06.900 a supply problem. But another problem is not just that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has become
00:02:13.640 unlikable because he's completely aloof in like in the face of all the problems. Another problem is
00:02:20.900 the fact that the liberals caucus is just full of obnoxious people. Back when the liberals formed
00:02:27.020 government in 2015, obviously, I didn't like them. I'm a conservative or at least a BC conservative for
00:02:32.680 the moment. The thing with the liberals is that in 15, they had a lot of professional people. I didn't agree
00:02:38.280 with them, but Bill Morneau was a professional. Jane Philpott was a professional. Jody Wilson-Raybould
00:02:43.440 was a professional. Even I would say Catherine McKenna was kind of a professional in the sense
00:02:48.480 that she was annoying, but she was very corporate in her tone. These days, we have like student union 0.94
00:02:55.240 activists acting as liberal government ministers. The quality of people in the liberal government has
00:03:02.020 dipped heavily. And so I just want to talk about some of them today because they make me laugh.
00:03:07.620 They are just funny people. They are just so performative. It hurts. So I want to talk about
00:03:15.460 first one of my, quickly becoming one of my favorite liberal MPs, Jenna Suds. And I will say before we 0.99
00:03:22.440 get into this video of her, and I'm going to go through a few, I am never more aware that somebody
00:03:29.700 is reading a script than when Jenna Suds is talking. Every time she's talking, it's like it's the first
00:03:35.740 time she read her, like her notes off a cue card. It's the first time she's ever read her speaking
00:03:42.220 notes. And so it always comes off as a middle school presentation-y as possible, as it is possible.
00:03:49.740 And oh goodness, there is a woman in the back wearing a mask for some reason in the year 2024, 0.91
00:03:55.520 because she just cares so much about protecting people or whatever. So Jenna Suds here says,
00:04:01.600 let's be clear, the Conservatives' plan to cut essential supports we're delivering for Canadians.
00:04:10.260 Why do Canadians need support now, but they didn't need them before the Liberals came into power? It's
00:04:15.040 almost like you've hurt people. It's almost like you're bankrupting people, and now you have to
00:04:19.180 invent government programs in order to help basically heal people or help treat people who
00:04:26.200 you've hurt. That's like, this is like the equivalent of giving people, like helping trying to like,
00:04:33.240 fix somebody's arm after you broke it.
00:04:34.860 Ten dollar a day, child care, saving families thousands of dollars. National school food program,
00:04:42.280 ensuring that children are not at school hungry. Mr. Speaker, you heard it here. They plan to cut the
00:04:49.720 support that Canadian families need. It's just bad. Here's another one. Here's another one of Jenna 0.99
00:04:58.440 Suds. She is going to become your favorite MP2. Here she says, Canada's inflation rate has reached 0.95
00:05:04.520 the 2% target, but there's more work to be done. Our plan is working to make life more affordable for
00:05:10.120 Canadians. Also, it wasn't 2%. I think it was 2.5% since I last checked, unless this month is only 2%,
00:05:16.680 in which that's not good, because guess what? That 2% is on top of the years where we had 7%
00:05:24.200 and 9%. Even though 2% is usually considered a decently low rate of inflation, that inflation
00:05:31.800 is on top of everything else. What we actually need is we need negative 2% inflation. We need to
00:05:37.400 actually reduce the amount of dollars in the economy. The government, if they actually wanted to help
00:05:43.320 people, what they could actually do is take dollars out of the economy that it has injected in,
00:05:48.680 that are being spent on nonsense, take them and basically just burn them. That would actually make
00:05:53.080 people better off because it would lower the supply of just easy money in the economy. But let's hear
00:05:58.920 Laurel, sorry, not Laurel Collins, Jenna Suds convinced us that they're doing a great job.
00:06:03.800 Great news today, as we've heard from the Bank of Canada, that inflation rates have gone down again,
00:06:09.880 now at 2%. This is evidence that our plan is working. This is working to make life more affordable
00:06:19.160 for you. Still more work to do, but we're committed to delivering for Canadians.
00:06:24.440 This is ballot box poison. The way she talks to people makes you feel like she thinks you're five 0.96
00:06:32.200 years old. And maybe part of it's because she's like the minister of like childcare or like youth
00:06:37.640 or something like that. And you'll hear her talking to one of her constituents. And let's be straight up,
00:06:42.520 every single time they try and market one of these programs that they have as like helping people. And
00:06:47.560 look, we've, we've cut this person's cost on childcare expenses. I'm like, wow, you took
00:06:52.040 taxpayer money and gave it to one specific person and they feel better off. One, the childcare programs
00:06:58.200 aren't even working because all it's doing is reducing the amount of childcare spaces available. 0.77
00:07:03.240 Because when the compensation, the compensation, like look, not algorithms, but the compensation
00:07:10.520 plans for childcare providers who are doing the $10 a day program, which I believe they have to do now,
00:07:16.920 when that doesn't fit, the compensation does not fit the location they're in. It doesn't, it doesn't
00:07:23.560 like fit with the amount of staff they have, because they're just basically giving blanket compensation,
00:07:29.320 no matter where your daycare is or anything, you can be a downtown location in Toronto and your
00:07:35.560 compensation is going to be same as someone who's just running a daycare out of their house in a
00:07:39.720 suburban area. They're trying to adjust it more now, but it's terrible. And all it does is it helps
00:07:45.560 a small minority of people at the expense of everybody else. And just because you have a good
00:07:49.960 testimony doesn't mean that it's actually a good program, but here's Jenna Suds now talking down to
00:07:55.960 another person and that person trying to recover the, trying to recover the video.
00:08:01.080 You know, one point when I talked to families and have been chatting here in Waterloo region,
00:08:07.000 the impact of the 50% cost reduction. 50% is like mind blowing. Yes.
00:08:12.360 Like it's like over $8,000 a year. Right. Yeah. It's substantial.
00:08:16.840 When we had like forecasted, like what it would cost to send coal to daycare and like what those choices
00:08:21.000 would be. Yeah. We, when the subsidy came in and like different centers started taking it on,
00:08:26.920 like it radically changed. And we're like, okay, like that money can go towards an education fund
00:08:31.560 and go towards activities. And Matthew and I are older parents, if you will, we started a little
00:08:36.200 later in life, but a lot of my. Who also set this up? Well, you don't really need to hear the rest of
00:08:41.720 this. Who set this up where they're like, they have a microphone with absolute no sensitivity at all,
00:08:48.440 or the sensitivity is like turned way up and they're just microphone peaking the entire time.
00:08:53.400 But Jenna Suds is there and like, and we've been giving out subsidies to some parents and people
00:08:59.560 see that as very substantial. Like, why are you talking to an adult woman like this? It's patronizing. 0.94
00:09:08.680 Who could guess why the liberals aren't inspiring people anymore? It's because they have Justin Trudeau
00:09:14.680 as their only real recognizable figure with like Christian Freeland as maybe the closest second
00:09:20.440 person that Canadians can kind of identify. I think when they pulled people with like photos
00:09:26.280 of different ministers and said, who is this? Like less than 50% of people could identify even who
00:09:31.080 Christian Freeland was, but nobody knows who Jenna Suds is. And this is just not inspiring stuff.
00:09:37.480 This is obnoxious. Let's get to somebody else. One of our other favorite MPs, Karina Gould, 1.00
00:09:45.080 who only knows how to patronize to people. She only knows how to do substitute teacher voice. 1.00
00:09:51.880 Very upset with one of her, with one of the kids not doing what she told them to do. You can't talk
00:09:58.760 to your opposition this way because guess what? Your opposition these days represents about 50% of
00:10:05.240 Canadians, close to 50% of Canadians, and you're going to talk down to them. That's basically
00:10:10.680 talking down to the people that vote for them.
00:10:12.840 Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives keep talking about women, but they don't support policies
00:10:19.560 that support women. Why are they against affordable child care? If they care about that single mother, 1.00
00:10:25.640 they should be supporting affordable child care. Mr. Speaker, if they care about women's economic
00:10:31.400 freedom, they should be supporting child care. If they care about women's rights, 0.99
00:10:35.400 they should be supporting a woman's right to choose. The real fake feminists, Mr. Speaker, 1.00
00:10:39.400 are the people who sit on that side of the aisle.
00:10:41.000 That's right.
00:10:43.400 They should be supporting a woman's right to choose. What abortion ban have the Conservatives proposed?
00:10:50.760 I'm pro-life. I actually think they would help themselves with support if they proposed something
00:10:56.040 like ending sex-selective abortion because that's a policy that the Liberals, for some reason,
00:11:01.080 can't vote in favor of. They can't vote in favor of increased criminal penalties for assaulting a
00:11:06.920 pregnant woman or killing a pregnant woman. Absolutely insane. The Liberals' position on abortion is
00:11:14.200 the goblin position. They have an absolute goblin position on abortion. It's just abortions all the 0.99
00:11:20.520 time for any reason, and that's what feminism is all about. No, that's not what it's about. 1.00
00:11:27.080 And the Conservatives aren't running on it. But the thing is that they don't have anything if the
00:11:30.280 Conservatives aren't running on it. But because I've ripped on Karina Gould enough, and you've seen
00:11:34.920 how she talks, it's not good. It's not someone that should be in front of the camera. But again,
00:11:40.840 the Liberals kicked out all the slightly competent people years ago, and now all they have is people
00:11:46.920 like Arif Arani here, the minister of microphone peaking, apparently, based on how poorly the audio
00:11:53.480 is done in this video. Also, can I just point out, Arif, get your coats tailored. He's not a big guy.
00:12:00.360 He's not like somebody who's big in the belly. But for some reason, his coat here is holding on for
00:12:05.000 dear life because he did not get it big enough. It's like actually puckering the entire time he's
00:12:10.040 talking and trying to move his arms. I spent the summer talking to constituents about what matters
00:12:14.200 to them the most, back here on Parliament Hill, ready to keep fighting for Canadians,
00:12:18.120 to protect the progress that we've made, to deliver for Canadians in terms of their needs,
00:12:21.800 and in terms of my ministerial role, to help continuously keep Canadians safe,
00:12:25.400 to protect those who are vulnerable. See you inside.
00:12:33.160 While the Conservatives shout slogans, we are going to keep Canadians safe.
00:12:37.560 I like how he threw that in at the end, like, while the Conservatives shout slogans,
00:12:41.240 we're going to keep Canadians safe. One, he means by keep Canadians safe, he means
00:12:45.800 censor the internet. He means make people, like, put ankle monitors on people at home because they
00:12:52.680 might say something hateful. That's what he means by keep Canadians safe. But he does that whole while
00:12:57.240 they shout slogans thing. When the first half of the video of him talking was platitudes about talking
00:13:03.960 to people and doing our job, working hard and keeping people safe. What are you talking about,
00:13:09.240 Arif? You're absolutely what you are describing in question period there when you're trying to fire
00:13:15.080 back at Conservatives. But now, let's end off by talking about Kamala Kara, another liberal MP from
00:13:22.920 the writing of Who Cares? You know, a place that probably doesn't even want me to name them out of
00:13:28.680 pure embarrassment that this is their current MP. Again, another question period answer where she's
00:13:34.920 going to start bringing up, you know, women's rights and reproductive rights and whatnot with
00:13:39.960 no real position on what she's in favor of and what the Conservatives are against. Again,
00:13:45.880 the Conservatives aren't even bringing up pro-life issues. If anything, that's one criticism I could
00:13:50.600 make that the Conservatives have kind of clamped down on some of the pro-life members and just told
00:13:54.920 them, like, nothing for now, don't say anything for the next year. I think the Conservatives could
00:13:59.240 actually punch past 50 percent of the vote if they went after the Liberals on having the craziest
00:14:05.080 positions on abortion. Again, pro-sex selective, anti-protecting pregnant women by, like, not giving
00:14:12.280 a crap if a pregnant woman gets assaulted, having no upgraded charges for the criminal there. They are 0.78
00:14:17.240 not against any other, like, they're against, like, abortion all the way up to the ninth month. It's
00:14:23.080 absolutely insane their position. So I don't think the Conservatives should be scared of them. But
00:14:27.080 she's going to be here and try and absolutely fear monger over nothing, nothing. The Conservatives
00:14:33.960 aren't saying anything, but they don't have any real good policies to point at. So their strategy,
00:14:40.040 this is, I'm not saying this because she's a woman, men and women in the Liberal Party,
00:14:43.640 their strategy is being shrill.
00:14:45.000 It is a bit rich to hear the member of the Conservative Party pretend to care about feminism
00:14:50.760 when their own leader was doing misogynistic hashtags on their videos to attract men who hate
00:14:57.640 women. Mr. Speaker, it was anything but feminists when they bring forward backdoor legislation to ban 1.00
00:15:03.800 abortion and to take away women's right to choose their own rights, Mr. Speaker. Or when they all voted
00:15:09.320 against increased funding to combat gender-based violence or to support survivors.
00:15:13.960 Mr. Speaker, you know what? That is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard.
00:15:19.160 So do you know when she said she talked about backdoor legislation?
00:15:24.920 The backdoor legislation was upgraded sentencing for people who kill pregnant women or assault
00:15:31.080 pregnant women by saying that you're also basically hurting the unborn child and there should be upgraded 1.00
00:15:37.160 sentencing for that. She then pivots to saying they don't want to combat gender-based violence. 0.99
00:15:43.960 What did you just vote against? What did you just say that your Liberal government voted against
00:15:48.360 because it was backdoor legislation to ban abortion? Was you not caring about gender-based
00:15:53.960 violence, the assault on pregnant women? What actual just stains of people here?
00:15:58.760 Mr. Speaker, their leader doesn't care about women or equality. He only cares about himself.
00:16:06.200 Oh yeah, rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble. Great statement. Oh, he doesn't care about women. He doesn't 0.99
00:16:12.040 care about Canadians. He only cares about himself. It's weak. It's weak and obnoxious. Who could guess
00:16:18.600 why nobody wants to vote for these people? They don't appeal to anyone outside, not of like a 1.00
00:16:25.480 Toronto or Montreal bubble, which is maybe what I would have said a year and a half ago. They don't
00:16:29.960 appeal to anyone who isn't from like the cocktail party circuit in Montreal and Toronto. People who work on
00:16:37.880 Bay Street. Now that's not because I'm trying to do this whole, oh, they're in league with bankers or
00:16:42.680 something like that. I just mean people who are so fabulously wealthy that they can have luxury
00:16:47.800 beliefs. Luxury beliefs about the fact that the conservatives are trying to bring in backdoor
00:16:54.840 like bans on, on abortion. Oh, and they're climate deniers and they care about all these fringe issues
00:16:59.880 because they're, they're too wealthy to care about the actual state of the economy because they're going
00:17:05.400 to do fine no matter if the economy sucks or it doesn't suck. At the same time they're talking
00:17:09.640 about is people can't afford groceries, rent, all this other stuff. And they're like enrollments in
00:17:15.080 hockey in Canada around the country depends on the province are down like 50% because people,
00:17:20.920 parents can't afford it or in Canada. And we're only going to have half the kids being enrolled
00:17:25.560 or registered to play hockey this next year. Insane. But they want to talk about the climate change.
00:17:32.360 And let's talk about a women's right to choose. And let's talk about, let's talk about childcare
00:17:39.080 programs and our different subsidy programs that are working hard for Canadians. Goodness.
00:17:45.880 Who could tell why nobody likes these people? Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:17:50.920 If you want to sign up on my website for recommendations on, you know, who you can vote
00:17:55.160 for in nomination races, because I tend to, if I hear about nomination races, I like to see who the
00:17:59.880 candidates are. And what I'll then do is be able to message or email anybody who I can see in that
00:18:04.840 postal code area and just say, Hey, well, this is why I've noticed about this local race or this
00:18:09.080 municipal race. It basically allows me to reach out to you guys. If need be, I'm not going to bombard
00:18:13.880 you with emails. I haven't sent a single email to anybody who signed up onto this list yet, but you can
00:18:18.520 go onto my website, WyattClaypool.com linked in the description below. If you want to sign up on to the
00:18:24.360 campaign organizing list. And if you want to donate to the Give, Send, Go, I also have that
00:18:30.280 linked in the description below as well as pinned at the top of the comments, being sued by a
00:18:34.840 billionaire Chinese developer over literally nothing. It's suing for defamation. And he had
00:18:40.280 over two and a half years. We're actually coming up almost on three years now. He hasn't actually
00:18:45.640 filed any evidence. And so we've just been waiting flat footed for him to make a new move. And we're
00:18:52.280 getting close to the point where we're probably just going to apply for summary judgment because
00:18:55.320 this is the most frivolous case I've ever been in. And I've been in a couple of cases now,
00:19:00.760 but it's cost me more than $32,000 because no matter how frivolous it is, Cal Calgary,
00:19:06.760 Alberta doesn't have anti slap legislation that allows you to apply very early into a case
00:19:12.120 to basically show the case to a judge and basically say, you can tell that this is complete nonsense
00:19:17.160 and they can end it early in Alberta. The case could go on for two years and you can't do anything
00:19:21.640 about it. Anyways, that's it for me today, guys. Have a good one.
