In this episode, I talk about how Canadian politicians need to stop blaming the voters for not voting for the "compassionate" option. I also talk about why the voters in the big cities that voted for Justin Trudeau are suffering the most because of his disastrous policies.

00:00:00.000 I'm not sure if you've seen this clip yet, but I absolutely love it because very few Canadian 1.00
00:00:05.320 politicians would have the spine to say what was said here. Conservative party leader Pure Polly 0.97
00:00:10.660 have actually called out the voters in the city of Toronto for having sent 100% liberal MPs into
00:00:17.760 parliament in the last three election cycles, while society around them is obviously getting worse
00:00:23.540 year after year, both socially and economically. I want to play you the clip right here because
00:00:29.060 this is something that politicians are usually advised not to say, but I think it needs to be
00:00:32.780 said more. And then I'll talk a little bit more about it on the other side. And now people who
00:00:38.340 can't pay their rent are forced to go to food banks. Two million people now going to food banks.
00:00:44.020 Two million, a record smashing number. In fact, in Toronto, one in 10 people are relying on food
00:00:51.620 banks. The number of people eating at food banks in Toronto today would fill the Rogers Centre seven
00:01:01.940 times. That is life in Toronto after eight years of Justin Trudeau winning every single seat in that
00:01:10.340 city. Toronto, what have you got for voting for Justin Trudeau? Your streets are crawling with crime and chaos.
00:01:18.340 You can't afford the rent. There's division like never before in our streets. Places of worship are
00:01:27.220 under attack. People who've lived there all their lives no longer feel at home. The big cities that
00:01:34.100 voted for Justin Trudeau are suffering the most because of his disastrous and costly policies.
00:01:40.980 You know, look at the crime. Violent crime is up 40%. The number of overdose deaths is up 200%.
00:01:52.580 40,000 Canadians have lost their lives to overdoses after eight years of Justin Trudeau's policy
00:02:01.940 of decriminalizing crack and heroin and giving out tax subsidized opioids that have heroin level potency.
00:02:11.780 Absolutely amazing clip. I think it needed to be said. Right before I get into it a little bit more,
00:02:16.820 I just want to quickly mention that I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary Signal Hill
00:02:21.380 Conservative Party nomination. So if you live in this area, except for the Greenbrow and Bowness areas,
00:02:26.180 because they're being cut out when boundaries change in April, buy a Conservative Party membership
00:02:30.660 and vote for me. My campaign website is in the description below, WyattClaypool.com.
00:02:35.460 Anyways, getting back to it. No advisor would ever tell you to blame the voters for making a bad choice.
00:02:41.940 But I frankly think that Polyev actually has to say this to Toronto voters. What can you lose? They
00:02:47.060 vote 100% Liberal in terms of the people they sent to Parliament. And eventually they need to be told that
00:02:53.380 the people that you're choosing are not the compassionate choice. You get a lot of people who
00:02:58.180 vote Liberal, especially in the big city areas like Toronto, who aren't voting Liberal because they
00:03:02.580 actually think they're economically better for the country. Anyone with eyes can tell you that
00:03:07.220 they've been horrible for our economy. They vote Liberal because it's like the compassionate choice.
00:03:12.740 It's the empathetic choice. It makes the choice that makes you feel smarter. There's a reason why people
00:03:18.020 with, you know, university, like bachelor degrees and master's degrees tend to disproportionately vote
00:03:23.460 Liberal. It's not because it's the smarter choice, but it's the choice that makes you feel smarter.
00:03:28.180 They tend to be very wonkish on policy. They're very detailed. They're very much, you know, big public
00:03:33.940 policy fans. They like big detailed public policy plans. And it makes the party seem like it's very
00:03:39.940 intelligent when a more simplistic approach to all these issues that the Conservatives tend to pitch
00:03:44.740 is actually the better, smarter position. But a lot of Liberal voters are looking for the voting
00:03:51.620 option that gives them social status. The Liberals tend to have that Laurentian elite,
00:03:55.620 elitist status to them. And so they get a lot of voters in the city of Toronto who vote Liberal
00:04:01.140 because it's fashionable to vote Liberal. You look like an intelligent moderate, even as the party keeps
00:04:06.340 getting more and more left-wing. And Polyup should be calling them out and saying, no, you're not voting
00:04:11.140 for the more compassionate, more empathetic, more, you know, fashionable option. You're actually voting
00:04:16.660 for the option that's stagnating your society, increasing crime, increasing drug use, increasing taxes on
00:04:23.460 people and driving people into poverty. You're not voting for the right option. It's not just that
00:04:28.580 every voter comes to different conclusions and all those conclusions are equally good. No,
00:04:33.940 you can vote the wrong way there. That's why I'm not someone who exactly, and I'm going to say this,
00:04:38.980 and I know there are some people who like left-wingers who are going to say that I'm saying something
00:04:42.980 I'm not, but people tend to overly idealize democracy. Democracy is the best system that we have,
00:04:48.660 but it doesn't mean that every single thing that people democratically vote for is good. But people
00:04:53.460 act like, well, it was popular at the ballot box, ergo, it's the right policy that you should support.
00:04:58.740 A lot of Liberal policies people technically voted for at the ballot box, it doesn't mean that we should
00:05:04.100 keep it around. And just because, like, when the Liberals get voted in, that doesn't mean that we
00:05:09.220 should maintain the policies in the past that used to be popular just because maybe they're going to get
00:05:14.340 some pushback, they need to start doing deep guts of government programs and reform things heavily.
00:05:21.300 Things have gotten really bad, and it's not that the Liberals were on the right track because they
00:05:25.220 kept getting voted in election after election. We just need to tweak it here and there in order to
00:05:29.540 fix things. Things were bad since 2015 when Trudeau got into office. He had immediately been making it
00:05:35.940 bad, and we shouldn't pretend that it's not bad. We should actually go after the voters who
00:05:40.180 continue to, in a certain sense, be blind voluntarily. They pretend that the issues
00:05:45.860 aren't there, and they pretend like, oh, the crime and poverty and all this, that's because
00:05:50.340 of big business and corporations. Oh, it's because of capitalism this is happening. No, it's actually
00:05:54.660 because of your socialist policies it's happening, and you kind of have to have your face stuck in it
00:05:58.900 a little bit. Anyways, I really like this. Politicians need to grow a spine and actually say sometimes that
00:06:05.620 the voters got it wrong. If you have a bad impression of Danielle Smith in Alberta because
00:06:10.500 you think she's far right, you're wrong. You're a fool. If you think that somehow safe supply
00:06:17.060 programs are good because it's keeping people from overdosing, you're an idiot. You're an idiot.
00:06:21.940 Giving people more drugs and keeping them on the streets, this sort of pro-homeless encampment type 0.93
00:06:26.900 faction on the left, they're not more compassionate. They don't have sort of just a different perspective.
00:06:31.540 They have an awful perspective. Frankly, sometimes their perspective is just flat-out evil. Even if
00:06:36.900 they think they're a good person for doing it, they have eyes and ears and they should be able to
00:06:40.260 figure out their policies are destroying people's lives and making society worse. You don't just act
00:06:45.380 like everyone's on the same team and we're all trying to drive towards a better future. Some people
00:06:50.420 will drive us into a worse future and they'll smile all the way. Yes, they think it's better, but it
00:06:55.300 doesn't mean that we should respect their opinion. You actually have to push back on people and tell
00:07:00.100 them they're wrong sometimes. Anyways, that should be it for me today. I just want to,
00:07:04.580 again, quickly plug that I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative
00:07:09.140 Party nomination. It's a really packed race. There's tons of people running here, a lot of
00:07:13.780 people who do not live in the riding, a ton of red Tories who, other than saying they want to get rid 0.60
00:07:18.020 of the carbon tax, are completely mum on most of the issues. I don't think we need more of these
00:07:22.820 Aaron O'Toole types getting into conservative nominations. We actually need more real blue 0.58
00:07:27.780 conservatives in the party. So if you live in this riding, buy a membership, vote for me.
00:07:31.940 If you live in Burlington, I think the membership cut off is already done. So if you have a membership,
00:07:36.420 though, vote for Emily Brown, great candidate. And in the future, I will recommend more candidates 0.94
00:07:41.060 and other nominations. Maybe I'll even do just a full on live stream, just talking about good
00:07:45.940 candidates and nominations around you. If you can shout out which riding you live in and who's running
00:07:50.420 there, I can look at their websites and get a feel for who's probably the candidate who actually
00:07:55.300 pursue deep reforms in government. And then other than that, also, I have the Give, Send,
00:07:59.620 Go fundraiser for myself and the National Telegraph's legal fund. We have a Chinese
00:08:04.180 billionaire suing us. Completely ridiculous defamation case. We had a guest writer call
00:08:08.500 him out for funding Aaron O'Toole's campaign back in 2020. He freaked out because our guest writer said
00:08:14.340 some true things about him based off a Globe and Mail article that was already out two years ago.
00:08:19.060 But he sued us because he thinks he thought we couldn't pay to defend ourselves and that he could
00:08:24.260 get a fake apology out of us and pretend that he's some sort of powerful political manipulator.
00:08:28.740 I don't really care. But if you want to throw some money at us, you know, it helps us fight back.
00:08:33.780 It helps us be able to take the burden of cost off myself and help spread it out a little bit.
00:08:39.460 Everyone who's donated so far has been an absolute star, but more donations are needed since,
00:08:43.780 you know, obviously I'm not someone who has hundreds of thousands of dollars to throw at
00:08:48.020 this case. So any money actually does keep the burden off me. So other than that,
00:08:53.300 that should be it for me today. And I'll be back with another video later on.
