00:00:00.000
Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Did you catch that English leaders debate last night?
00:00:05.860
Because I did. And while Pierre Polyev may want to keep murderers locked up for the rest of their
00:00:11.820
lives in prison, he seems to have made an exception for himself because he murdered Mark Carney on
00:00:17.620
stage. That was a brutal performance by Mark Carney. And there are already leftists online
00:00:24.300
and on television basically explaining that this debate really didn't matter that much,
00:00:29.160
that nobody's going to remember it. And they're saying that because they know that they cannot
00:00:34.140
actually spin Mark Carney's performance as anything but terrible. They're just hoping that
00:00:39.740
nobody noticed how bad it was. So today I want to do a review of the debate, go over some of the
00:00:46.100
polling that came out right afterwards of people who had actually watched it. I want to give the
00:00:51.220
leaders letter grades, and then I want to discuss how this is going to affect the election going
00:00:56.300
forward. We have early voting starting today, and it's going to go on until Monday, or I believe
00:01:02.280
Sunday. So guys, make sure you go out and vote early. There are low propensity voters out there
00:01:08.440
who are going to be less likely to wait 45 minutes in line to vote. So if you vote now, it means that
00:01:14.840
those low propensity conservative voters on election day are actually going to stick it through in more
00:01:20.540
like a 20-minute line and cast a ballot for Pierre Polyev and the conservatives. But anyways, before
00:01:26.460
I get into the debate, I just want to remind you guys, if you like my federal election coverage, make
00:01:32.880
sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber, and leave a comment.
00:01:39.100
How do you think the leaders did? Give me your letter grades for Carney, Polyev, Blanchet, and Singh.
00:01:46.700
I'm going to start off with the letter grades, and then I'm going to explain why. I kind of buried the
00:01:52.520
lead in the French debate yesterday, so I'll just start off with it right away now. If I am giving a
00:01:57.980
letter grade to Pierre Polyev, although I am a conservative supporter and it kind of sounds like
00:02:03.100
not much coming from me, I give him an A+. That was an excellent performance. For the record, I gave him
00:02:09.460
a B- for the French debate. And I think I was vindicated in saying that he seemed to be pulling
00:02:15.740
punches at the French debate because there wasn't much to gain in Quebec. Even if the conservatives
00:02:20.940
gained 5% in Quebec, they would literally win no extra seats. The conservative regions of Quebec are
00:02:26.600
very solid for the conservatives, but outside of those areas, the conservatives are coming in like
00:02:31.460
distant fourth or even fifth places, oftentimes. So if he really ripped the hinges off the doors for
00:02:38.460
the Quebec debate, what's he doing? You know, making it so that he wins the bows by more,
00:02:44.780
firming up the two Quebec city ridings that the conservatives win? It didn't really matter that
00:02:49.920
much to Polyev. So why telegraph what you're going to hit Carney with in the English debate during the
00:02:55.480
French debate? Just play coy, be nice, don't lean into anything that would, you know, basically play up
00:03:03.140
to what the media tries to make him out to be. Don't be too pugilistic or pugnacious so that the
00:03:08.100
media can't say, oh, look, he's mini Trump, just as we've been saying. So I thought Polyev in this
00:03:13.900
debate was excellent. A plus, he was aggressive, but positive. Amazing. Mark Carney. Let's actually
00:03:22.220
save Mark Carney for the end. Blanchette, I would say that he is the second place winner of this debate.
00:03:28.660
I wouldn't give him an A, but I would give him a B plus. He was great at being an attack dog for Quebec
00:03:35.800
against Mark Carney. He hit Polyev a little bit here. He would sometimes slap Jagmees in. But for
00:03:41.700
the most part, I think he understands that the Bloc Québécois survival relies on the liberals falling
00:03:48.000
apart in Quebec and not winning any of the Bloc Québécois Montreal suburbs. Because the liberals are just
00:03:55.060
the party of Montreal and Quebec. They don't actually have that many ridings outside of Montreal.
00:04:00.020
So for Mark Carney to win this election, he would need to basically expand into all these Bloc Québécois
00:04:05.200
areas. There's actually not many parts of the province where the liberals beat the conservatives.
00:04:09.220
It's mostly liberals versus Bloc, sometimes liberals versus NDP, and then it's Bloc versus conservative.
00:04:15.500
And so basically Blanchette just ripped the bark off of Mark Carney, basically tried to expose him as
00:04:24.380
not being very friendly to Quebec. He's giving money to the Ontario auto industry while he gives nothing
00:04:29.820
to the Quebec aluminum industry and other things that they're doing in Quebec. I don't follow the Quebec
00:04:36.140
economy that closely, but in general, he seemed like he did a good job. So I would give him a B plus.
00:04:41.100
I think he helped himself out. I think he is going to be gaining votes for the Bloc Québécois in Quebec
00:04:46.860
off of that performance, even though it's in English. Because Quebec voters like when the BQ leader goes to
00:04:52.860
the English debates and then just very, you know, sanctimoniously stands up for Quebec. So he did a
00:04:58.540
good job in that sense. Jagmeet Singh. I gave him on my live stream yesterday an F and I'm actually
00:05:09.020
reconsidering. Was Jagmeet Singh the most annoying person in the debate? Absolutely. He gets the most
00:05:16.460
annoying leaders award from me. Based on my own personal enjoyment watching him, I give him an F because
00:05:23.340
he was absolutely, he was awful. He was annoying. He was obnoxious. He was every other word for
00:05:30.220
like horrible and like grating. He is terrible. But if you were on the left wing of Canadian politics,
00:05:39.900
you probably thought that Jagmeet Singh was really taking it to Mark Carney and Paliyev.
00:05:45.500
He would cut people off constantly, but maybe that's what Jagmeet Singh needs at this point. He just needs
00:05:51.980
attention. And so, you know, I'm going to give him, I hate to do this, I give him a C minus.
00:06:00.220
Because while Mark Carney was being systematically blown up by Paliyev, Paliyev was doing like a
00:06:06.860
controlled demolition job. And Jagmeet Singh was like, like, constantly jumping up saying,
00:06:12.460
I have something to say about that. Hey, Paliyev, have you ever considered, hey, Mark, Mark,
00:06:16.620
have you ever considered healthcare? Hey, Paliyev, Gaza exists. It was terrible. But if you're on the
00:06:23.180
left and Mark Carney's being destroyed, maybe because he's getting himself some attention and
00:06:27.900
he seems like he's always in there and he's annoying Paliyev, you might get some people who
00:06:32.700
were originally going to go from the NDP to the Liberals to come back home to the NDP. Maybe he
00:06:37.420
can get himself to like 12 or 13 percent in the polls off of this debate performance. And now,
00:06:43.500
Marcus Julius Carney, I don't actually know what his middle name is. I'm just going to call him
00:06:50.620
Julius because he was assassinated in that debate like he was Julius Caesar. All the other leaders
00:06:56.620
basically just stabbed him to death. Steve Pakin was just sitting there, the moderator, horrified
00:07:01.340
as his entire political career came unraveled within two hours. It was actually that bad.
00:07:07.820
People will pretend like, no, he mostly was able to defend himself. That's what I saw in this,
00:07:13.180
it's from CTV News. That's what Thomas Mulcair was saying. And I usually actually like Thomas
00:07:17.660
Mulcair, even though he's NDP, former NDP leader. He can be reasonable. He even defended Paliyev for
00:07:23.180
not taking the security clearance for good reason. And he said like, oh, well, you know, Carney
00:07:28.940
Carney was able to mostly slough off all the attacks. No, unless taking direct hits is a defense,
00:07:38.620
unless he is defending himself from Paliyev's punches by absorbing them all into his stomach
00:07:44.940
and hoping it doesn't kill him. No, he didn't. He lost so hard. I give Mark Carney a D minus.
00:07:51.180
That was an awful debate. I'm going to go into some clips in a bit here.
00:07:55.420
He just, he was, he looked like a disappointed lizard as the debate went on. He just kind of had
00:08:02.220
this, well, he'd be like checking his notes. He'd be like looking away from Paliyev every time he was
00:08:09.260
being attacked because you could, you could see, he was like, where is my butler to tell this man
00:08:13.660
to stop talking to me? He just seemed peevish, sensitive, thin-skinned, and overly rehearsed.
00:08:20.780
Everything he said was just an overly rehearsed line or him fumbling all over himself to try to
00:08:25.580
respond to an attack. This is why in the French debate, he basically just stuck to talking about
00:08:30.060
Trump because the man cannot defend himself. He has to go on the offense against somebody else.
00:08:35.340
And Trump's an easy target because Trump's not there to defend himself. In the one instance,
00:08:40.060
he actually tried to attack Paliyev. He actually turned it into the best counterpunch I've ever seen
00:08:45.180
from a politician. He hit him on not getting his security clearance, Paliyev, and Paliyev turned
00:08:50.540
that into a, hey, you know that Paul Chang guy that you refused to get rid of after he called for
00:08:56.300
a conservative candidate to be locked up by the Chinese Communist Party? I wouldn't even be able to
00:09:01.180
talk about that if I had gotten the security clearance based on the absurd rules that the
00:09:05.100
liberal government put into place. But now, guys, we are going to watch some of these clips because
00:09:10.620
they are glorious. These are hilarious. Again, it's not one of those debates where Mark Carney's hair
00:09:17.500
is going to start on fire and his pants are going to fall down. He looks like a complete idiot.
00:09:21.580
People almost see bad debate performances through the lens of Joe Biden literally falling apart on
00:09:27.100
stage against Donald Trump. That's not what a typical bad debate performance looks like. Remember,
00:09:32.620
John Turner in 1984 got just demolished by Brian Mulroney over the you had a choice attack line that he was
00:09:39.740
using. There's been a lot of other good moments in debates that ended up helping out a party a lot.
00:09:45.020
I think the no two tier health care moment from Stockwell Day in 2000 really helped the Alliance
00:09:50.860
Party in that election, even though they didn't end up winning. But that was a good moment. I've
00:09:54.940
seen good moments in debates before. Mark Carney had no good moments. And in fact, he was very awkward.
00:10:01.740
When I saw statistics on how few people watched the entire thing all the way through,
00:10:05.820
I think it's because mostly liberals stopped watching because it wasn't very good to watch.
00:10:10.460
Anyway, so here is the first clip I want to show you. And then I'm going to switch over to X,
00:10:15.340
where there's a lot more bite sized clips that I have bookmarked. But here is one of the best
00:10:21.020
moments in my opinion. This is the moment of the debate where Mark Carney wrecked hard and never
00:10:27.820
recovered. Mr. Singh, sorry, he has the floor. The question you have to ask is after a decade of liberal
00:10:36.220
promises, can you afford food? Is your housing more affordable than it used to be?
00:10:42.620
What is your cost of living like compared to what it was a decade ago? And are you prepared to elect
00:10:47.980
the same liberal MPs, the same liberal ministers, the same liberal staffers all over again for a
00:10:53.260
fourth term? Mr. Carney, Justin Trudeau's staffers are actually here with you at this debate in Montreal,
00:10:59.740
writing the talking points that you are regurgitating into the microphone.
00:11:04.220
How can we possibly believe that you are any different than the previous 10 years of liberal
00:11:10.700
government? 25 seconds left in this segment for you to respond to that.
00:11:14.380
That is a brilliant moment. That is like TLC drama kind of dumping on Carney. If you didn't notice,
00:11:25.020
and I want to show you Mark Carney trying to respond to that. But Blanchet, you may have heard him say
00:11:31.500
this in the background. I'll even back it up by 10 seconds. As Poliev is landing this absolutely amazing
00:11:40.780
attack, like a fully loaded 7047 superliner or whatever massive airplane, Blanchet is literally
00:11:47.580
going like, ooh, ouch, that hurts. Like, because he knows that this is a horrible, horrible scathing
00:11:54.700
attack on Carney as basically being a fake being moved around by the exact same staffers that Justin Trudeau
00:12:01.580
was being moved around by. How can we possibly believe that you are any different? You could
00:12:07.660
literally hear him say, that's painful. Brilliant. That's painful. Then the previous 10 years of
00:12:13.500
liberal government. 25 seconds left in this segment for you to respond to that. Look, I do my own talking
00:12:19.180
points. Thank you very much. The biggest risk we have to affordability, the biggest risk we have
00:12:26.940
to this economy is Donald Trump. So first and foremost, we've got to get that right. Secondly, we need
00:12:32.380
to do it in a way that brings everyone along together. That means preserving pharma care, dental care,
00:12:40.780
child care, reinforcing health care, spending our intrusion, intrusion, intrusion, intrusion in
00:12:46.060
Quebec jurisdiction over and again. I like the clock. And then you have Blanchet coming over the top
00:12:52.060
rope just to even interrupt Mark Carney's hurriedly lackluster response to Polyev. That's what Mark
00:12:57.900
Carney would do constantly during the debate. You don't need to see all of his responses. But what he would do
00:13:02.700
is someone would ask him a tough question, whether it was Polyev Singh or Blanchet that he didn't have a good
00:13:08.220
answer for. So he would filibuster. So he would talk about how the real threat, pregnant pause,
00:13:15.900
is Donald John Trump and the Republicans in the US. And it would be like taking forever to say nothing
00:13:23.500
just to try and run out the clock. He even had to do that with the attack question he asked to Polyev
00:13:28.620
about the security clearance. He needed to run out the clock during his own segment because of how poorly
00:13:33.580
it went for him. Now I want to bring up some of the other moments from the debate. I'm going to start off with a
00:13:38.700
moment that was bad, not even for the viciousness of the attack made on Carney, but for Carney's own words
00:13:45.500
being complete gibberish. He starts referencing the success of the Keystone XL pipeline, a pipeline that the
00:13:52.140
Liberal government killed and has never been built.
00:13:54.140
Secondly, recognizing that the biggest component of that was the cost of building Keystone. Keystone,
00:14:00.540
which is the pipeline which has helped to increase oil and gas export or oil exports rather by 50%
00:14:05.900
in this country. That is an asset of the people of Canada. We own it. And the question of what to do
00:14:12.620
it. So it's not a subsidy that has disappeared, it's actually an asset of Canada.
00:14:16.060
He didn't know the difference, I believe, between Keystone XL and Northern Gateway. He literally
00:14:20.940
did not understand the difference. The man keeps mentioning the fact that he was born in the
00:14:25.820
Northwest Territories and grew up in Edmonton. And he does not know the difference between a pipeline
00:14:30.540
that exists and a pipeline that has attempted to be done before and kept getting killed by the Liberal
00:14:37.420
government. A project that he in the past has stumped against. Now let's move on to another moment.
00:14:44.700
Let's go to Yves-Francois Blanchet slamming Carney. Again, this was just Julius Caesar being stabbed to
00:14:53.020
death on the Senate floor in Rome. I want to know, will you, before the election, reveal all the details
00:15:00.380
of your assets as Mr. Singh has done, as Mr. Poiliev has done, and as I have done? We have a right to know
00:15:08.700
let's let him answer. Under those circumstances. Let's let him answer. Well, the first thing is,
00:15:14.220
I want to say a word about, I'll say a word about Brooklyn. He's going to filibuster. You know,
00:15:20.700
this is a Canadian success story. It is the largest infrastructure investor and developer
00:15:25.660
in the world. It is one of the largest, if not the largest developer of renewable power in the world.
00:15:32.380
And who benefits from that? That's Canadian pensioners. That's Quebec pensioners. That is
00:15:37.420
teachers, firefighters. It is a series of people, including individuals, including individuals
00:15:45.100
on this stage benefit from that. Now, always acted with integrity. Served the shareholders of Brookfield
00:15:53.820
when I was there. I have left that. I have followed all the rules well in advance.
00:15:59.740
Let's reveal your assets. I have followed all the rules well in advance.
00:16:02.300
Let's reveal your assets like we all did. And working for the people of Canada.
00:16:06.380
What do you own? Why don't you tell Canadians and Canadians what you own?
00:16:12.460
Notice how whenever another leader is addressing Carney or even being addressed,
00:16:17.500
they actually have body language that symbolizes a certain sense of strength.
00:16:22.380
That when Pauliev is talking to another leader, or Blanchet in that clip is talking to Carney,
00:16:26.940
yeah, he might look down at his notes and be taking a note quickly, but you can tell he's not
00:16:30.060
burying his face in because he doesn't want to look up. He then later moves over and
00:16:34.140
confidently looks at him across the way. Carney, as this debate is going on, if you watched it live,
00:16:39.900
you'll notice he's constantly looking away. He's constantly getting very small and tight around
00:16:44.540
his podium because he's not confident. You think this guy is going to negotiate with Donald Trump and do
00:16:52.940
anything but lose? He's a complete dullard. He's terrible on camera. Here's another one.
00:17:02.620
I want to jump over to this one. This is the security clearance backfiring. This is one of
00:17:07.740
the worst moments for Carney in the entire debate. I'll bring this up on screen.
00:17:11.180
I have got my security clearance when I was a minister. I got top secret clearance at the time,
00:17:16.460
so there's no problem getting that. But when the government made this recent offer, they said that
00:17:21.900
if I got the secret security clearance briefings, that I would be gay under the security law,
00:17:28.620
and I could be prosecuted if I spoke freely about matters of foreign interference. Now, given that
00:17:34.860
Canada has experienced Chinese interference by Beijing, the government of China, in two consecutive
00:17:42.620
elections, I needed to do my job to speak freely without fear of prosecution. And that was not
00:17:49.580
something I would be allowed to do. Even Thomas Mulcair, the former leader of the NDP, said that when
00:17:55.020
he was the leader of the opposition, he never would have accepted the kind of gag order that your
00:18:00.860
government and Mr. Trudeau's government was attempting to impose on me. And it's good that I
00:18:05.340
made that decision, because it has allowed me to speak freely about things like the case where one
00:18:09.980
of your candidates, sir... You can tell that Carney probably knew this wasn't going well already,
00:18:16.460
because again, he started having that disappointed lizard face, where he just kind of looks like
00:18:20.940
he hates being there and he wishes he was anywhere else. Actually said that he wanted to send a
00:18:25.740
political opponent to China under a bounty threatening his life or imprisonment, and you
00:18:33.980
refused to get rid of him. Now, it might have something to do with the fact that you went to China
00:18:38.220
not long ago to get a quarter billion dollar loan for your company. But the reality is you refused to
00:18:43.820
stand up for a Canadian who was being threatened by a foreign government. And I was able to speak freely
00:18:49.900
on that matter because I refused the gag order that the Liberal government attempted to impose on me.
00:18:55.020
Well, you know, there's a couple of interesting things. I think people at home have seen a, you know,
00:19:00.300
have got my... By the way, the last 13 seconds of his timer there, it didn't go to anything. Carney
00:19:08.300
Carney just filibustered again. He tried to like at the very end, but he got caught off, tried to bring
00:19:13.100
up, well, there's other countries that are trying to interfere into Canada. And he was going to try and
00:19:17.500
pivot to India, imply that Polly is an asset of the Indian government. Pathetic. It's just
00:19:24.700
a weak, placid attack. That's all you would have to say. That's all you can say about Mark Carney's
00:19:30.940
entire performance. It's placid. It started off, when I say strong, I just mean in terms of the
00:19:37.100
amount it was highlighted, was they talked about Trump a lot at the start. Polly was very good at the
00:19:42.940
beginning, where I'm not sure if I have this clip. It doesn't really matter. But Polly was very good at the
00:19:47.660
beginning for going over the issue of Trump and making it very... He basically took the issue of
00:19:55.900
Trump and made it a failure of the Liberals. If you're scared of Trump, if you think he's going to
00:20:01.100
harm Canada, if you think Canada's vulnerable, well, who made us vulnerable? It wasn't. Trump in the last
00:20:05.420
few months has been the Liberals for 10 years. He did very well on that one. And I noticed that after
00:20:10.940
that question, we saw a spike in Trump references until Polly spoke and then they started going down
00:20:17.820
because it just wasn't a good attack line because Polly dominated it so early on that he wanted to
00:20:23.500
talk about literally anything else. Here's maybe another good clip we can watch. I'm trying to give
00:20:29.660
you guys a good overview of what had happened without just showing you the entire debate.
00:20:35.500
Well, Mr. Carney refused to answer the question about pipelines. Just the other day, he said that
00:20:41.980
he doesn't necessarily think we need to build pipelines. Let me tell you what that means. Right
00:20:47.420
now, the Americans get 97% of our oil, 100% of our natural gas exports at big discounts. We have to
00:20:54.380
send Canadian oil from Western Canada through the states just to get it back to Quebec because we don't
00:20:59.420
have a pipeline. And now there's this law, Liberal Law C-69, which effectively bans pipelines. The 14
00:21:07.340
biggest energy and resource companies say it has to go if we're ever going to build another project.
00:21:13.020
And I asked Mr. Carney why he would keep in place this anti-pipeline law that effectively empowers
00:21:20.460
Donald Trump to have a total monopoly on our single biggest export. Why would you not repeal
00:21:27.260
this Liberal Law? Isn't it because you are exactly in the same line as Justin Trudeau and the rest of
00:21:34.780
the Liberal team? That's a great pause screen right there. Just Carney looking on, trying to not make
00:21:43.420
eye contact with Pierre Polyev. I don't think that Carney maybe made eye contact with Polyev outside of
00:21:49.980
passing glances while he was talking about him, but then quickly moved on. Because again, it is one of those
00:21:55.740
telltale signs that somebody knows that they're losing is that they can't even look them in the eye
00:22:00.620
because that person is aggressive and strong, and I am weak and pathetic. So if I look at them,
00:22:05.580
I am going to freak myself out. It was so bad. And Polyev throughout it had that good body language.
00:22:12.860
The pattern was that he would basically punch Mark Carney, give him an uppercut at the start of a
00:22:17.900
question or at the start of a statement. He would just pound on Carney for a few seconds,
00:22:22.220
and then he would move back over and talk about the vision he has for Canada. Obviously,
00:22:26.940
there was moments where he was just in full attack mode because that was what the part of the debate
00:22:31.980
called for. But he was really good at jabbing, but then giving the positive vision. Jabbing,
00:22:37.820
positive vision. And it kills off the media narrative that he is Trump-like. He's just a mean, pugnacious
00:22:44.220
attack dog because he wasn't. He was critical, but then he was constructive. That was what worked.
00:22:51.180
Remember, going into this debate, more than a third of liberal supporters, people currently saying
00:22:57.420
they're going to vote for the liberal party are soft liberals in the sense that they are not
00:23:02.060
definitely going to show up and vote liberal. That's what the Angus Reid polls have been showing,
00:23:06.380
that 80% of conservatives say they're definitely voting conservative, but only 63% of liberals say they're
00:23:12.380
definitely voting liberal. This was a performance that I think is going to cause a lot of people
00:23:17.580
who were previously voting NDP in past elections to go back NDP, or people who were going to migrate
00:23:23.820
from the conservatives to the liberals to come back towards the conservatives, or just stay home
00:23:27.900
because, my goodness, that was crap. Because they probably are not feeling super confident about
00:23:32.860
showing up for the central banker after he can't even stand up to his opposition leader,
00:23:38.140
who he's claiming can't stand up to Trump. If you can't stand up to Paliyev, who you claim
00:23:43.260
won't stand up to Trump, well then how do you stand up to Trump? It doesn't really make much sense.
00:23:50.540
Now, I just want to jump over to Jagmeet Singh being the most annoying person on the planet.
00:23:57.980
Here's just 19 seconds, or I'll play a couple clips of it. It was hard to sit through because,
00:24:05.340
again, maybe this works for certain people, but you literally could not sometimes hear what another
00:24:11.020
leader was saying over the sounds of Jagmeet Singh just chirping from the background.
00:24:21.020
You know the answer either, you're just throwing out adam questions.
00:24:25.900
Actually, I actually do know the answer to that question.
00:24:28.380
When you add taxes to steel, you raise the price of everything that uses steel.
00:24:34.460
It's a strong argument to say you know the price.
00:24:37.580
When you add the carbon tax onto the price of, for example, fertilizer,
00:24:45.580
So while Mr. Carney has temporarily hidden the Liberal carbon tax at the pumps
00:24:50.060
while keeping the tax fully in law and planning to raise it after the election,
00:24:54.620
he's also going after a tax on our industry that will ultimately be passed on to you.
00:24:59.820
I also thought Polyev's defense of getting rid of the industrial carbon tax was very good.
00:25:06.140
Right there, Jagmeet Singh and then also Mark Carney were trying to basically call him out
00:25:09.820
because Polyev had asked Carney, well, what is the price on a ton of steel or whatever
00:25:18.060
How much is the industrial carbon tax adding to the price of everyday necessities for Canadians?
00:25:23.500
And they're saying, well, Polyev, you don't know the exact number.
00:25:27.820
It's like he doesn't need to know the exact number.
00:25:30.140
The whole point is Polyev knows that makes things more expensive.
00:25:32.860
And Mark Carney doesn't want to admit that, which is why he wouldn't answer Polyev.
00:25:36.700
And only when they found the stupid gotcha that Jagmeet Singh and Carney start like sitting up and
00:25:42.220
saying, well, you don't know how much it adds either.
00:25:47.340
That's the thing that you guys don't want to admit to.
00:25:49.980
Here's another clip of Jagmeet Singh not being able to shut up.
00:25:52.380
90% of guns that come in that are used in crime are smuggled illegally over the porous
00:26:02.860
And that's why the police, the police actually, if I could, the police actually
00:26:07.660
endorsed me for the police in Barrie, in Peel, in Sault Ste.
00:26:13.580
And then when they were talking about climate or whatever, or they were talking about like pipelines,
00:26:17.740
Polyev was obviously talking about natural resource development, doing more oil and gas
00:26:23.020
exploration, like starting more mines, building pipelines.
00:26:29.100
Well, you want people to pollute as much as they want whenever.
00:26:37.260
Again, maybe there are some like public sector workers who really thought Jagmeet Singh was
00:26:42.940
But my goodness, at least for me, it does not work at all.
00:26:47.660
Well, now I want to jump over to some data that was put out yesterday by abacus that I think proves
00:26:56.060
People can pretend, oh, it's not going to do much.
00:27:05.260
It says, which leader do you expect to do the best?
00:27:08.140
In the French debate, obviously, it's Blanchet and Polyev who were scored at the top by
00:27:14.460
people abacus was pulling because, you know, like Polycarny doesn't speak French very well.
00:27:19.740
So they were expecting it was going to be one of the more fluent French speakers who was going to
00:27:23.260
They also have Elizabeth May on here in the Greens, but they actually got cut from the debates.
00:27:27.580
But English debate, 41% of people expected that Mark Carney was going to do the best.
00:27:35.820
He's Francois Blanchet, 3%, and don't know was 14%.
00:27:47.420
And this was after the debate, they asked people who they thought did the best.
00:27:51.660
Of people who watched all of the debate, 47% thought Polyev did the best.
00:28:01.180
11% Singh, Blanchet, 2%, and none said 4%, or basically none of the leaders did well was 4%.
00:28:08.940
The only area, Paul, if you watch some of it, but not all, they were tied.
00:28:12.780
If you watched a little, you had Mark Carney at 44% to 37%.
00:28:16.700
Now, you could say, well, that sucks because most people don't watch the entire debate.
00:28:21.580
The difference is, is that in our world, people don't really sit down and watch the entire two-hour
00:28:26.460
debate unless you are psychos like myself who like to just watch through every debate that comes out.
00:28:32.940
Even if it's in French, you'll listen to the English dub.
00:28:35.500
The thing is that people consume debate through the clips, and the clips are terrible for Mark Carney.
00:28:40.460
It shows that if people watched a little bit of it, they thought Carney was doing well.
00:28:44.220
If they watched some of it, so let's say, like, you know, they watched a third of it,
00:28:47.260
they watched 50% of it, they thought that they were about tied.
00:28:50.460
If you watch the full thing, you were not under the impression that Carney was doing well at all.
00:28:55.660
In fact, the people who turned off the debate early probably were liberals who knew it wasn't going
00:29:00.380
well, so maybe we'll turn it off now and say that Carney was doing pretty good when I shut the TV off.
00:29:05.500
Overall, Polyev won it 43 to 40, with Jagmeet Singh at 11, and Neves-François Blanchet at 2.
00:29:12.060
But you have to remember, it is very difficult for Polyev to win a preferred prime minister poll
00:29:17.740
when most people will say Mark Carney if they vote for any of the left parties rather than conservative.
00:29:25.900
And again, as more people see more clips from this debate, it's going to shift quite a bit.
00:29:35.900
And so we have 71% of people say the debate did not change how you would plan to vote.
00:29:40.220
And that makes sense. Most people tend to be pretty dogged with their choices.
00:29:43.740
A lot of those are obviously conservatives who said, I won Polyev before I walked in,
00:29:49.900
Now, 23% of people say the debate has made you rethink how you plan to vote.
00:29:55.260
And then 4% says the debate has made you change how you plan to vote.
00:29:58.140
And 2% says the debate has made you decide not to vote at all.
00:30:01.580
Now, maybe I'm making a foolish assumption here.
00:30:05.500
But I'm going to assume that the 29% of people who are considering changing who they're voting for
00:30:11.100
or have changed or they're not going to vote at all are not leaning conservative.
00:30:16.300
I assume it's mostly people leaning liberal or NDP.
00:30:20.220
I thought the block did quite well, so I actually think they probably firmed up many of their
00:30:24.460
supporters who ended up watching in English just for the love of the game.
00:30:30.540
This is also, remember, that only 20% of conservatives were not definitely going
00:30:36.380
They were somewhere on the spectrum of, you know, fairly certain or maybe not certain quite yet.
00:30:42.220
But liberals had more than a third of their people not willing to show up.
00:30:45.740
Again, who do you think supporters, based on that debate performance and how they went in
00:30:53.900
I am going to posit that it was the liberals who were far more likely to flip.
00:30:58.460
And now we have new polling results coming up today.
00:31:01.260
And I don't need to go over those because they were polls conducted before the debate.
00:31:05.500
Before the debate, in Main Street research, the conservatives are around one point down.
00:31:12.940
And actually, when you add confidence intervals to it, the conservatives are leading by one.
00:31:17.100
Liaison, which has not been friendly to the conservatives, but has been showing them gaining
00:31:23.420
Even ECOS only has the conservatives eight points down, which sounds like a lot.
00:31:27.820
But they're also the pollster that at different times has had them down 16 points.
00:31:31.580
So if ECOS thinks that the liberals are leading by eight, it probably means that it's conservatives
00:31:37.180
leading by one or two because of just how bad their samples are.
00:31:41.020
Considering how tight it is, and the conservatives only need to win by a couple points to form a
00:31:45.100
minority government, that debate is going to change a lot of people's minds in the conservative
00:31:49.980
direction, in ridings where it was going to only be decided by two or three points.
00:31:54.860
You only need that election, that debate to flip 200 people in a riding from liberal to conservative
00:32:01.100
to have a big swing in favor of the conservative and have the conservative now winning by four or five
00:32:07.340
And again, I've gone through the simulator on 338 Canada.
00:32:10.620
The conservatives, especially if the blocs start doing well in Quebec, can win the election without
00:32:17.580
They can literally lose the popular vote to the liberals if the bloc have a clause doing well
00:32:25.180
So anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:32:28.220
Oh, actually, no, it's not up for me today, guys.
00:32:32.700
So anyone who survived me saying that briefly, you're a true hero because I needed to show you
00:32:38.780
So I want to cut to something that proves that Mark Carney did really bad.
00:32:43.660
We're going to first start off with the mainstream media who just outright admitted that, yes,
00:32:47.740
this was, in fact, a bad debate for Mark Carney and pure Polly of one.
00:32:53.500
Andrew Coyne, Chantal Hubert and the other lady here who's like an NDP stalwart, they will not admit
00:33:00.620
Polly has ever done something well in his entire life.
00:33:03.420
And even here, they were willing to say he did a good job.
00:33:06.300
But particularly on this question of admitting the rebel news, et cetera, into this thing,
00:33:10.780
I think we've now seen the last nail in the coffin of any...
00:33:15.900
No, I need to find the other clip where they admitted that he was right.
00:33:27.900
He was not just a critic, but also outlining his own plan.
00:33:32.060
So I think by the normal standards of how you judge these debates, I think he had a good night.
00:33:35.820
And I do agree with Andrew that Pia Kholyev had a good night.
00:33:38.860
His goal was to sound more prime ministerial and look less like an attack dog that we've
00:33:46.620
See, even they know Pia Kholyev did a good job.
00:33:49.900
Now, I want to show you something that I think proves even more that he did a good job.
00:33:55.100
And that is Mr. Frank Dominic, one of our favorite leftist TikTokers, saying that the debate was mid.
00:34:02.940
If you think this debate did not matter very much, it's probably because it did matter.
00:34:08.140
Would you waste your time making a video saying the debate was mid if it was actually mid?
00:34:12.780
No, you just wouldn't talk about it because it would be boring.
00:34:15.580
You're talking about it being mid and the fact it doesn't matter because, in fact,
00:34:20.140
Here's how you know that Pia Kholyev is desperate.
00:34:22.380
Every time that Singler Blanchet would ask him a question or would attack him,
00:34:26.060
the moderator would then give him the ability to respond.
00:34:28.620
And Pierre would then immediately pivot and look at Carney and start attacking Carney.
00:34:31.820
He wouldn't even take the opportunity to respond to the people who attacked him in the first place.
00:34:37.100
Because it's Blanchet and Singh who are irrelevant to the Conservatives' path to victory.
00:34:43.740
Pierre is just scrambling and taking any opportunity to attack Carney,
00:34:47.260
to do anything in his power to get soundbites that he can use
00:34:49.820
in order to try to get any sort of momentum in the last couple days of this election.
00:34:54.780
He kept interrupting people during the debate and he didn't necessarily crush it like he needed to.
00:35:05.500
It's so liberating just to admit that he did a good job.
00:35:09.340
I've even admitted when lefty politicians have debated well.
00:35:12.860
Blanchet, in a lot of issues except for immigration, is very left.
00:35:16.700
But he did a good job at both the French and English debates.
00:35:19.260
But in order to make changes in the polls, he needed to do a great job.
00:35:24.700
None of them really did a great job, to be perfectly honest.
00:35:33.580
It wasn't like we watched a murder on screen of Polyev absolutely demolishing Mark Carney.
00:35:39.100
Because Mark Carney is a peevish, sensitive, thin-skinned man who didn't have anything good
00:35:49.340
Him saying, ooh, Polyev's desperate, and that's why he wouldn't respond to Singh and Blanchet.
00:35:55.180
That's why he's doing smart things and not answering the irrelevant leaders' questions and pivoting over
00:36:00.540
to smacking the current Liberal government because they are, in fact, the issue of the election.
00:36:05.500
How incompetent the Liberal government has been.
00:36:07.820
What does Polyev have to gain by mocking Jagmeet Singh?
00:36:16.460
He's a complete worthless bag of like nothing on stage.
00:36:21.020
Now, here is another video by Frank Dominic arguing that Mark Carney actually was doing
00:36:31.580
The reason Mark Carney impressed during the debate wasn't any of his answers.
00:36:39.980
And the caveat here is you know he did really well, not because of any of the answers,
00:36:43.980
not because of anything that actually happened in the debate, but he handled people well.
00:36:48.940
How can he handle people well if his answers aren't good?
00:36:52.220
There was maybe one or two moments where he got flustered, but almost always,
00:36:55.660
if somebody was interrupting him or if somebody was berating him, he would just say,
00:36:59.100
Or he would, in some other way, give him a platitude and be kind about it and just basically say,
00:37:04.780
And it almost always diffused the tension versus...
00:37:15.580
Every once in a while, Mark Carney goes, let me finish.
00:37:23.660
This is the way the other leaders would approach that kind of stuff,
00:37:25.660
usually escalated it or otherwise just had somebody else talking over them the whole time.
00:37:29.500
And it kind of makes sense now as to why Carney was able to have a decent conversation with Trump.
00:37:34.140
He obviously knows how to handle difficult people in difficult situations.
00:37:37.500
And I think that that's a skill that he gained as the governor of the Bank of Canada.
00:37:42.300
The governor of the Bank of Canada, Bank of England has trained him to deal with
00:37:46.780
That is, on the social level, it's a fairly easy job to be the governor of the Bank of Canada or
00:37:52.860
There are a lot of skills that go into that job, but it's not exactly like a hot-blooded social job.
00:38:01.980
If Polly have got along well with Trump, you would be crying like bloody havoc.
00:38:08.700
A lot of his answers during the debate were kind of crap.
00:38:11.260
There were some questions that he tried to dodge masterfully and it came off pretty sleazy.
00:38:15.420
Like during the one-on-one, there was a point where he was like obviously,
00:38:19.820
But when we talk about what we want from a world leader on the world stage...
00:38:24.700
So, like, Frank will kind of admit the truth, but then he'll temper it by saying,
00:38:29.020
oh, well, yeah, okay, he was crappy and he had terrible answers and he looked like garbage
00:38:37.100
But if you think about it, that's exactly what people want.
00:38:39.900
Being able to handle difficult people is probably a top priority.
00:38:44.940
Leave your thoughts in the comments down below.
00:38:55.580
I also don't understand the way that these TikTokers make videos.
00:39:03.900
I'm filming myself talking for like 40 minutes.
00:39:08.700
Frank Dominic's making videos that are like a minute.
00:39:18.380
He like mugs so much in place of an argument or in place of some sort of like...
00:39:24.220
He'll make a snide remark and then kind of like push up his eyebrows a little bit.
00:39:36.140
That's why the debate commission canceled the Q&A.
00:39:40.540
It had nothing to do with True North or Juno or Western Standard.
00:39:44.300
It had to do with the fact that Mark Carney got destroyed so bad they needed any excuse to cancel the Q&A.
00:39:49.740
There's a reason why Carney's people after the debate were so agitated.
00:39:54.300
Because it was not good and they knew they were in crisis mode.
00:39:57.580
That was another word that Carney liked using a lot during the debate.
00:40:00.380
I think everyone was talking about how we would talk about how we need to deal with the crisis fundamentally from the point of view that we need to catalyze investment in Canada.
00:40:11.980
I don't see people really attaching themselves to him because he feels like a walking script.
00:40:18.300
As Polly pointed out, he's in fact just the walking mannequin for the liberal script writers.

Again, who would you give what letter grade to?
00:40:50.300
I gave Mark Jagmeet Singh a C minus and Mark Carney a D minus.
00:40:55.660
So other than that, I will see you guys next time.
