00:00:00.000
Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I know I'm a conservative, so maybe this doesn't mean much
00:00:06.060
coming from me, but the Liberal Party leadership race is remarkably boring, and especially Mark
00:00:12.920
Carney's campaign. This guy is supposed to be a political juggernaut, supposedly,
00:00:18.140
who can take on and beat Pierre Polyev in the 2025 federal election. I think if people study
00:00:24.780
the year 2025 in Canadian politics in the future, one of the major themes is going to be the skull
00:00:31.480
crushing levels of hubris inside the Liberal Party to think that Mark Carney or Chrystia Freeland
00:00:37.360
were good candidates. As I keep saying about them, these people are the personification of the color
00:00:43.640
beige. Nobody cares about them. There is nobody who is genuinely excited about Mark Carney. You will
00:00:50.740
sometimes see liberals accuse conservatives of only liking Pierre Polyev out of hatred for
00:00:55.660
Justin Trudeau, which I think is completely untrue. Polyev genuinely has a following of people who
00:01:00.860
really likes the way he thinks about politics, the way he talks, especially the way he deals with the
00:01:05.600
media. But in fact, Mark Carney is someone that people only like inside the Liberal Party because
00:01:11.520
of the sick fantasy that he is somehow going to be able to beat Pierre Polyev in the 2025 federal
00:01:17.660
election, despite the fact that whoever becomes the Liberal leader is going to be dragging the
00:01:23.080
disgusting baggage of the Liberal Party. So the thing I want to take you guys all through today
00:01:29.080
is Mark Carney's remarkably boring campaign. I want to show you some stuff directly from his campaign,
00:01:36.660
as well as other footage of Mark Carney throughout the over the years, because I think it's telling of
00:01:41.880
his actual skills as a politician. There's a good reason Mark Carney was not a politician until
00:01:47.440
this year because he sucks at it. He's not charismatic. In fact, Christia Freeland may be a far better
00:01:54.880
Liberal leader than Mark Carney could ever be. And Christia Freeland sucks. Did you see the video clip
00:02:00.260
the other day when reporters are surrounding her and she's like twitchy and nervous? You can tell that
00:02:05.420
she has some social anxiety and I feel bad for her. Like, obviously, I'd probably be like that with that
00:02:10.520
many reporters around me. But she is still better than Mark Carney, who makes me think of toast buttered
00:02:16.900
with margarine. Not even butter. He is not a butter man. Mark Carney is second rate on everything. I
00:02:22.880
bet his favorite movie is Grease 2 or Caddyshack 2. He is not somebody who is allowed to like original
00:02:30.040
films. He only likes crappy sequels. That is who Mark Carney is. But before I get into this chart of
00:02:36.160
endorsements, guys, remember to like this video, subscribe to the channel. I am putting my body,
00:02:40.560
mind, and soul on the line to cover this Liberal leadership race because it is prestigiously boring
00:02:45.340
and it is sucking my soul dry. Anyways, I'm being very hyperbolic there just for fun. But here are the
00:02:51.640
current endorsements. We have Mark Carney sitting at 38 endorsements from Liberal MPs. He's not really
00:02:58.480
even outpacing Christia Freeland by that much. She has 27 as well as the fact that she is an MP herself.
00:03:04.560
So naturally that has some weight in her local riding. Karina Gould has two endorsements plus
00:03:10.720
herself. And then Chandra Arya, Jamie Batsy both only have themselves as their own endorsements,
00:03:17.280
obviously. And then there's this Ruby Dahlia girl who's also jumped into the race. I heard that when
00:03:22.980
she was an MP between like 2004 and 2011, she had like the lowest ratings between on from parliamentary
00:03:30.280
staff as a person to work for, that I guess she was like a nightmare. She's like Amy Klobuchar throwing like
00:03:35.880
textbooks at people and eating salad with a comb because you forgot her fork. Like not, not, not exactly a
00:03:42.900
great, you know, person to be running for the leadership of a party that's currently dying. But if you're Mark Carney,
00:03:49.880
you're supposed to be the juggernaut of this campaign. You should be tripling Christia Freeland in terms of
00:03:56.140
endorsements. The thing I find most telling about the current endorsement map right now is not even
00:04:01.760
who has how many, you know, is, is, is Carney leading or is Freeland leading? Carney is really
00:04:08.200
not leading it by that much. I'd be embarrassed if I was him and I only had an 11 extra more endorsements
00:04:13.880
than Freeland considering he has all of team Trudeau behind them. Team Trudeau, Trudeau, Gerald Butts,
00:04:18.720
Katie Telford are like threatening MPs to endorse him and he still only has 11 more. The thing that's more
00:04:23.560
interesting is think about how many MPs have not endorsed anyone who are waiting to see what
00:04:28.880
happens because they know Mark Carney is probably a completely weak horse. He is a dying mule being
00:04:35.400
put into a horse race and everyone's saying, well, isn't he so exciting? He's not. Liberal party staffers
00:04:41.520
all day long can keep posting photos with him wearing sunglasses and saying he's brat. He's still
00:04:46.780
boring. He is nobody. And I'm going to keep repeating the word boring every time I talk with the liberal
00:04:52.160
leadership race because that's all you can say. This headline here, this story is remarkable and
00:04:58.700
it's not remarkable as some people think because it's so ridiculous. It's remarkable because it's
00:05:03.380
kind of true. Here is this story from National News Watch. Chrystia Freeland says she's running
00:05:09.140
against the Ottawa establishment in liberal leadership race. Freeland suggests Mark Carney is the top choice
00:05:15.100
of the prime minister's office. Guys, Chrystia Freeland is almost as establishment as you could
00:05:21.680
get in Canadian politics. She has been there the entire time in the Trudeau government. She has been
00:05:26.800
the deputy prime minister. She was the finance minister, which arguably is actually the real number
00:05:31.840
two role in government because you touch on every area of government from the ministry with the purse
00:05:38.600
strings. But she's right. She actually is the anti-establishment candidate of this leadership race
00:05:44.740
outside of our boy Chandra Arya, the man so based. He told a reporter when they asked him, do you know French?
00:05:51.700
No. And then just kept motoring on because you know what? Maybe we shouldn't have to know French to be
00:05:57.340
prime minister. He also only knows probably English three quarters of the way. But who cares? Chandra is a good
00:06:03.740
guy. He actually kind of is half a good guy. He actually pushes back against terror supporters and
00:06:09.520
Calistanis, which is natural because he's one of few Hindu Canadian politicians in politics who's actually
00:06:16.040
elected. But again, this is actually true. Freeland is the anti-establishment candidate because Mark
00:06:24.040
Carney is the Trudeau guy. He is literally Justin Trudeau's fourth term. Mark Carney has no support outside
00:06:30.660
the fact that Justin and Gerald Butts and Katie Telford are telling people to endorse him. And now I want to show
00:06:36.640
you some of these endorsements, too, because Mark Carney's entire campaign is just these really shallow
00:06:42.580
endorsements. This is Adam Van Coverden, who's like some sort of speed skater, kayaker. I don't know. He's some
00:06:49.220
Olympic athlete who's in politics now. This is his endorsement video of Mark Carney. And literally all the Mark Carney
00:06:55.740
videos from these MPs sound the exact same. There's a lot going on right now. And more than ever, Canada needs
00:07:02.540
leadership, a vision and the expertise necessary to deal with threats and bullies from our friends in
00:07:08.160
America and President Donald Trump. So that's why I'm endorsing my friend, Mark Carney to be the next
00:07:14.140
leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. I mean, oh, my goodness, don't show how short Mark Carney is. I don't
00:07:18.880
even think Adam is supposed to be very tall. And Mark Carney looks like he's like his five year old son
00:07:23.740
here. Next Prime Minister of Canada. Mark, you got this, man. All right, man. Thanks, Adam. That
00:07:27.880
means the world to me. I mean, being with a proven winner, someone who knows about teamwork. And this
00:07:33.460
is what it's about. We all got to come together as Liberals, as Canadians, build the strongest economy
00:07:39.200
that works for all Canadians, stand up for Canada against Donald Trump, get the best deal for Canada
00:07:44.380
and move forward. And, you know, there's no better day than today to let's go. Let's skate.
00:07:53.740
That was just awkward and weird. By the way, isn't Adam Van Kovren from like a specific solo
00:07:59.660
sport? That's really funny if he is. And Mark Carney's like, of course, you know about winning
00:08:03.760
and teamwork. He doesn't actually he knows about winning, I guess, but technically solo. I think
00:08:08.540
he might have been in something where there's like two people in it. Maybe he was in canoeing or
00:08:13.500
whatever. I don't know. But all the videos are like this. I want to keep going. And here's a solo
00:08:18.840
video of Mark Carney. It's just 14 seconds. I hope I don't get absolutely destroyed by
00:08:23.620
by copyright because there's music in this clip. But this is their attempt to make him
00:08:29.580
interesting. Put on some hip music and editing. Just do a lot of fancy edits and maybe we can
00:08:51.760
Is it could it be any clearer that there was not that many people in that room for
00:08:56.540
Mark Carney? The low angles, the really tight shots of him talking to like one person demonstrates
00:09:03.100
to me he is not holding big rallies. In fact, if you go to Freeland's page, she is actually
00:09:08.400
having far larger rooms than Mark Carney is because she's somebody that people recognize.
00:09:14.140
Look at any of the polling on name recognition. Nobody knows who Mark Carney is. Literally 26% of
00:09:19.640
people know who he is. That's a terrible, that is an awful, that's an awful record. Look at this
00:09:26.640
video from which this guy, a liberal commentator and organizer, Evan Scrimshaw says game set match IMO
00:09:36.660
because Anita Anand is endorsing Mark Carney, a lady who I was terrified of would be in the
00:09:44.020
race because I am, I refuse to talk about Anita Anand. I refuse. I signed a contract somewhere
00:09:53.780
saying I don't have to talk about Anita Anand. In fact, she blocked me for noting on Twitter. I didn't
00:09:59.860
even tag her, but I just noted she's the most boring person in Canadian politics who was potentially
00:10:04.720
going to run for leader. And she blocked me because of that, because she knows it's true.
00:10:08.740
Oh my goodness, it's even echoey. She couldn't even film this thing without an echo.
00:10:14.500
Take the time to think about what is best for our country, our party, and our beautiful town of Oldfield.
00:10:22.740
I've spoken with liberals, including the amazing supporters with me today, to discuss what is best
00:10:30.500
best at this time in Canada's history. And we agree that Mark Carney is the leader that Canada needs.
00:10:40.260
13% of that room knows who Mark Carney is, but you got them to stand here.
00:10:44.260
I worked with Mark during the global financial crisis almost 20 years ago, and I saw at that time
00:10:51.540
that Mark has the ability to steer Canada during very difficult times and to ensure that Canada
00:10:58.740
comes out on top. So join us in supporting Mark Carney for leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister
00:11:07.300
of Canada. Sign up at Liberal.ca. Apparently she couldn't even get the thing to not echo. There's
00:11:15.060
also only a few days left to even be able to vote in the Liberal leadership. So guys, Michael Clark
00:11:21.060
wasn't able to make it in the race, sadly. But if you want, because it's free, sign up to the Liberals
00:11:27.380
to go vote for Chandra Aria, and then maybe Frank Bayless, and then maybe that Ruby lady,
00:11:32.500
because she sounds like a psychopath, and I like that psychopath energy. Vote for any of those people,
00:11:37.220
and then maybe vote for Freeland, because at least she's not Mark Carney. Because Mark Carney is the...
00:11:42.260
Here's the thing. He's not just bland. He also has very destructive policies. They're hard to talk
00:11:48.660
about because they're so boring. But he's a big supporter of central bank digital currencies. In
00:11:53.540
fact, I actually... Me and the National Telegraph were the ones who got Pierre Polyev in the 22
00:11:58.500
leadership race to take his stance against CBDCs, which he actually made a major platform point of
00:12:04.180
his leadership, and he's carried it forward. And then even it worked into his stump speech. We were
00:12:09.060
some of the few people to actually get Polyev to change that stump speech. It's not like,
00:12:12.420
oh, he never changed it, and it's bland. But you know, it was a solid stump speech he would give,
00:12:17.460
and he would basically not change it because it was nearly perfect. But he did include our pitch
00:12:22.580
on why he should ban central bank digital currencies. So that was good. But all, everything that Mark
00:12:27.460
represents is like bureaucracy. I just think of Excel spreadsheets and like lists of regulations
00:12:34.340
whenever I think of Mark Carney. You don't think of any of these Liberals as like,
00:12:38.420
again, personalities, as like change makers. Mark Carney feels like somebody who wears small
00:12:45.140
glasses and looks at documents and makes edits. And he's never making edits to change, to remove
00:12:51.780
policies. He only ever adds. Here's another video that I thought was like, why would you even want
00:12:58.580
this guy to give you an endorsement? If you were wondering if he was being backed by Team Trudeau,
00:13:04.660
wonder no further. He got an endorsement from Seamus O'Regan. Now only now all he needs is the
00:13:10.100
endorsement of Mark Miller. And he basically has the entire Trudeau wedding troupe. Hey, everybody.
00:13:16.100
To paraphrase an old saying, history happens all of a sudden. And that certainly seems true over the
00:13:22.180
last. I'm not even sure if this is Mark Carney. Seamus O'Regan and him almost look identical in a certain
00:13:26.980
sense this month. Ukraine, the Middle East, Greenland, the 51st state, President Trump again.
00:13:39.300
You know, when I first started politics, and that seems about 50 years ago,
00:13:43.300
I made a promise to the people here that I would put the work first. That's why I'm not running for
00:13:48.100
reelection. That I wasn't here for the show. I was here to do the job. And to do any job well,
00:13:55.220
you need to be realistic about what needs to be done. You need to see things as they are,
00:14:04.500
That's hilarious to say because the wish casting behind Mark Carney's candidacy is insane. Even
00:14:10.420
Frank Graves and ECOS are putting out borderline fake polls to pretend the liberals have momentum
00:14:15.860
throughout this leadership. They don't. Even Frank knows they don't have momentum. He's having to
00:14:20.500
manipulate his data to pretend that the electorate the next election is going to be like 60%
00:14:25.220
graduates, like university graduates. That's never been the turnout in any election. Maybe 50%,
00:14:33.060
usually around 48%. You're not getting 55%, 60% university grads. But like, you know, we can't
00:14:40.740
just wish for something like whatever he said about wishing. It's like, dude, Mark Carney is literally a
00:14:46.100
wish cast candidate. He is a empty box. People are putting all their hopes and dreams into pretending he
00:14:51.300
represents. He represents nothing. Canadians want change. That's clear. And if we're being honest
00:14:58.980
with ourselves and with each other, that has probably been clear for a little while now.
00:15:04.340
So knowing that Canadians want change, we got two choices. We can rationalize it, or we could be
00:15:12.340
realistic about it. If we rationalize it, we'll go down the path of incrementalism. We will
00:15:18.100
continue to try to deliver what we think is best and hope that we can convince enough Canadians to see
00:15:24.340
things our way. If we're realistic about it, we'll deliver what they want. They want change.
00:15:32.820
They want fresh ideas. They want a new message. They want a new voice. Our choice as liberals is whether
00:15:41.780
we want to see that. I'm forgetting if he's even endorsing Mark Carney here. If he says Mark Carney is
00:15:46.980
the fresh new voice and he's change, I'm going to know. I'm quitting. I'm quitting. Metaphorically,
00:15:55.700
but I'm quitting. Our choice as liberals is whether we give Canadians a choice in that change. There are
00:16:03.540
hundreds of reasons why Mark Carney should be the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:16:07.700
Mark Carney is not fresh. He's as fresh as a Fig Newton. Mark Carney makes me think of Werther's
00:16:14.660
originals and like sweaters with pockets on them. And our next prime minister. He is experienced on the
00:16:22.100
world stage. He is laser focused on the economy. This doesn't mean anything. I'm sorry, Seamus, but
00:16:28.580
you have you have taken up too much of my time. This is nothing. This is this is things where he's
00:16:34.500
sharing all these endorsements. Here's one that he actually did share. He did share that Seamus one, too.
00:16:38.980
I just only bookmarked specifically Seamus's post. We're saying thank you, Steve McKinnon. We're fortunate
00:16:44.980
to have you on our team. This guy is the one who competes with Mark Gerritsen on who can embarrass
00:16:49.540
themselves more like the makes the most ridiculous possible like act like attacks on the conservatives.
00:16:56.660
Steve McKinnon, Mark Gerritsen and like Mark Holland are some of the worst possible liberals. And I
00:17:02.180
believe they're all currently backing. I believe they're all currently backing Mark Carney. I think
00:17:07.780
Freeland might have gotten one of the three. I think she might have gotten Mark Hall and the guy
00:17:12.100
who thinks that the carbon tax is good because it prevents kids from going on boring family like road
00:17:17.380
trips. But the funny thing about all this was that Chandra Aria was actually the MP, the Liberal Party
00:17:26.660
leadership candidate who got his paperwork in first, who got the money in first. There is a chance this
00:17:33.220
man has been fundraising faster than Mark Carney and Freeland has because guess what? He's at least
00:17:40.660
somebody. He's not boring. Even Frank Bayless. I would give Frank Bayless. Frank Bayless has a
00:17:45.620
personality, not a very exciting person, but like you could have coffee with him and not be bored to
00:17:51.620
tears. That guy can also speak French and English and he's a business owner. They should probably make
00:17:55.940
that guy the leader if they're smart. But Chandra Aria legitimately has more excitement on social media.
00:18:02.340
It's ironic excitement. It's people like me calling him my boy because it's funny. But nobody is actually
00:18:09.700
online talking about Mark Carney as a personality, as an actual human being. I'm going to bring this
00:18:15.460
up quickly. This was Mark Carney at the WEF like a couple years ago in 2019. Some people think it's
00:18:22.900
this year. It was not this year. He's not there right now. He's obviously in Canada campaigning.
00:18:28.100
But this is a clip from Rebel News interviewing him as they walk and talk. Considering that this is
00:18:33.940
the way that he is dealing with hostile media, and although I like Rebel News obviously for a liberal,
00:18:38.980
they would be considered hostile media. Do you think that this guy is going to be able to beat
00:18:43.220
Pierre Polyev when he is confronted by hostile media? This is before he's even running for anything.
00:18:48.580
He has nothing to lose. He could say whatever he wants here. He could clown on Rebel News,
00:18:52.820
you know, be ironic, sarcastic, do anything. This is his only way of dealing with them asking him
00:18:58.340
questions. I do lots of media. Friendly media. No, I do. No, God, no. The ones that are here invited.
00:19:06.580
I'm doing no media at this point. Can we sit down and I'll make a time with you and
00:19:10.340
answer some actual tough questions? You can make a request for a meeting. So you can deny it.
00:19:16.740
They go over this. Maybe you guys should go look up the video. But I've seen Mark Carney talking to
00:19:24.260
hostile media. He sucks at it. He mostly just dismisses them. There's a reason that him and Freeland
00:19:30.340
both banned independent media that they did not vet from entering their leadership announcements
00:19:36.340
because they are so like slow on their feet. Again, Freeland, the lady who's twitching around,
00:19:43.460
she brings more energy to the table than Mark Carney does. It's actually incredible. Can I get the video
00:19:55.380
here? I'm trying to find the twitchy video of Christy Freeland. I don't need to do this. I know
00:20:04.100
this is wasting a little bit of time, but like she genuinely like I can't find it here by looking at
00:20:08.980
twitchy. It doesn't matter. You guys have all seen the tape of her like actually shaking as she's
00:20:13.140
talking to media. More charismatic, legitimately more charismatic. She's an actual anti-establishment
00:20:19.540
candidate because Mark Carney is being propped up so hard by Trudeau. They're papering over all of
00:20:24.900
his flaws. If he becomes the new leader and prime minister, and by the way, thanks Doug Ford, but
00:20:30.420
there's not going to be an election probably until October because Doug Ford by having a provincial
00:20:34.820
election a year and a half early has just given Singh, Jagme Singh and the NDB, the perfect excuse to say,
00:20:40.740
oh, there's voter fatigue right now in October. We need, or in Ontario, we need to wait a few more
00:20:45.540
months for this election. He's given for like Jagmeet a great excuse to wait, but regardless of when the
00:20:52.100
election happens, the liberals by putting so much artificial energy into Carney by the Trudeau camp,
00:20:59.220
like, you know, having all of his rough exterior, his very difficult to kind of listen to
00:21:07.620
manner. He's boring. He makes me think of Niles Crane when he's talking, but not in the fun way
00:21:14.660
that he's going to, they're going to have him get on stage with Polyev and he's going to get crushed
00:21:19.700
and they're going to wonder what happened. This feels like the 2016 Democratic primary between Hillary
00:21:25.780
Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Oddly enough, Bernie Sanders is Chrystia Freeland, but Mark Carney is
00:21:31.700
Hillary Clinton. He should be putting away Chrystia Freeland and his other competitors
00:21:36.580
really quickly here, and he's not. That was the big flaw in Hillary's campaign. Bernie Sanders is a
00:21:42.260
terrible presidential candidate and she took until like the very end to finally beat him. That
00:21:47.620
demonstrated that she did not have a lot of momentum. She did not have real love in the electorate.
00:21:53.540
That's what's going to happen. Freeland is going to barely lose to Carney. Maybe she even wins and
00:21:58.580
then we're in a completely different timeline. But if Carney barely wins, they'll pretend that
00:22:03.460
oh, it was a hard fought battle. She was a tough competitor. She is not. She is a bad candidate too,
00:22:08.580
but she's a bad candidate with even less support than he does behind the scenes from the Trudeau people.
00:22:13.460
She is like Arif Farhani endorsing her. That's like one of the few ministers endorsing her. Ahmed Hussein,
00:22:19.380
horrible endorsements. But she is going to almost win and they're not going to realize that, wow,
00:22:25.860
that's bad that Mark Carney couldn't beat Twitchy. That's a bit of a problem. Mark Carney has
00:22:33.940
literally nowhere to grow. Again, the Liberal government's approval rating is only two points
00:22:38.100
higher than Trudeau's approval rating. He's at 21%. They're at 23. Do you think Mark Carney then opens up
00:22:44.900
another 20% of accessible voters who might vote Liberal? That's how many more voters,
00:22:51.220
there's a difference between your actual support and your accessible voters. I've seen Nanos' power
00:22:57.300
ratings on this and it's an interesting way of looking at it. It doesn't even mean people are
00:23:02.020
voting for you, but who is your vote accessible voter pool? The accessible voter pool for the Conservatives
00:23:07.620
right now is like almost two thirds of Canadians. The accessible voter pool for the Liberals right now is
00:23:13.460
like 40%. And that doesn't mean you're getting all those people. That just means somebody who might
00:23:18.740
even consider voting for you. They're going to try and beat Polyev with like a full third of people
00:23:26.100
less, even considering voting for them. And when you're that far behind and being considered,
00:23:30.980
you're not winning. You're not going to somehow convince all the people on the fence to suddenly
00:23:35.300
jump on your side. Polyev doesn't even need the voters on the fence. He already has enough people
00:23:40.180
solidly in his camp voting for him that he can pull this thing off. Anyways, so that should be it
00:23:46.740
for me today, guys. One quick plug. If you live in Ontario, I would have you consider voting for
00:23:53.140
the new blue party of Ontario in this provincial election. Doug Ford's PCs are literally indistinguishable
00:23:59.780
from the Liberals in Ontario. Doug Ford and Bonnie Crombie and Trudeau could not be picked out of a
00:24:06.180
lineup in terms of their policy. So I don't want you to just consider voting for the new blue party.
00:24:11.860
Consider running for them. I'm going to link their website down in the description below,
00:24:15.620
as well as pinned at the top of the comments. But other than that, guys, make sure to like this video,
