The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Poilievre calls Carney's Liberal leadership victory ＂suspicious＂

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I have no doubt that over the next month in Canadian politics,

00:00:06.300 we're going to be stuck in a bit of a liberal honeymoon period for a bit. It doesn't matter

00:00:11.280 that Mark Carney was never elected to be prime minister and he's been effectively installed.

00:00:16.400 There is a type of Canadian who's going to think, wow, the liberal government feels very fresh now.

00:00:21.340 We have a new prime minister. Let's just think nice things about him because that's the nice

00:00:25.760 thing to do. The thing is that I think that the main attack on Mark Carney is not going to be

00:00:31.620 over the carbon tax like some conservatives are still trying to do. Mark Carney has effectively

00:00:36.540 taken that off the table. Yes, is he going to basically replace it with another version of

00:00:41.440 the carbon tax? Obviously. But rhetorically, it's harder to go after him on the consumer carbon tax

00:00:48.260 when he's like reorganizing the carbon tax to be on big polluters or somebody else and the

00:00:53.580 conservatives really haven't ramped up any rhetoric to go after them on something like that.

00:00:59.240 I think the main hit on Mark Carney is that he's effectively going to give you a couple little

00:01:04.700 gimmies on getting rid of the carbon tax and maybe changing a couple other things about the way

00:01:09.520 government works. But for the most part, it's all going to stay the same until after the election.

00:01:15.120 And then Mark Carney is going to go full force on all the crazy radical things that he said

00:01:20.280 in previous interviews with the UN, the WEF, and other radical organizations. This, I think,

00:01:27.240 was one of the best attacks that Pierre Polyev made yesterday in his sort of reaction press conference

00:01:33.700 to Mark Carney swearing in, going after him for not just being an unelected prime minister,

00:01:39.380 but having the whole liberal leadership race looking really suspicious that he has no mandate.

00:01:45.060 And so everything he's doing right now is effectively trying to buy off Canadians.

00:01:51.660 First of all, Mr. Carney has no mandate. He has not been elected by the Canadian people. He's been

00:01:57.760 installed by the liberal establishment and Justin Trudeau's insiders. They prevented people from

00:02:05.880 debating him. They've been hiding from the media because every time he answers questions,

00:02:10.900 he gets caught in lies or says incredibly idiotic things. As for the liberal leadership result, 1.00

00:02:20.360 those numbers are either just pathetically low because Canadians did not want to vote

00:02:25.980 for a weak, conflicted Mark Carney who had sold out the country by moving jobs and money out of Canada,

00:02:33.600 or they show something more suspicious. But unfortunately...

00:02:40.200 And Ezra Alvarez has done a lot of work on that. He's about to say he's not going to get into that.

00:02:44.920 But I think more people should look into the liberal leadership race, and that should be a big marketing

00:02:49.900 point of either the Conservative Party or third-party, more conservative-type advertisers going after the

00:02:56.060 liberals. That Mark Carney didn't even not... He didn't even win a leadership race. It wasn't a real

00:03:01.400 leadership race. And then it just comes down to, was it not a real leadership race because effectively

00:03:07.440 no one was really competing against them? I think that's already been proven. You could just tell

00:03:12.640 from looking at the other camps they would never lay a glove on Mark Carney the entire time. And then

00:03:16.660 the only thing I would add in addition to that was the actual numbers rigged as well. Because it seems

00:03:23.060 kind of implausible that in a riding like University Rosedale, Chrystia Freeland's riding, she's held it

00:03:30.040 since 2015. She's been a minister. She's been the deputy prime minister. Somehow, she only gets 11% of the

00:03:37.700 vote in her own riding. Now, remember, too, that the average percentage she got over all the ridings was

00:03:45.200 eight. So she barely did any better in her home riding compared to, like, Nunavut or Edmonton Center

00:03:53.640 or, you know, like, what is it, Burnaby North Seymour. How is that even possible? Same thing with

00:04:01.460 Karina Gould, who was also a sitting MP. Her riding of Burlington, I think she barely did any better than 0.79

00:04:07.800 she did on average. I think it was even, like, to the point where it's just margin of error that she

00:04:12.440 did only slightly better. How is it also that Karina Gould almost gets the same percentage of the vote on 0.96

00:04:18.340 average that Frank Bayliss got? Frank Bayliss, who was completely invisible the entire campaign,

00:04:24.320 and Karina Gould, who was being celebrated by the media as being a new fresh face. And maybe the

00:04:29.440 Liberals should look into making her leader, even though the whole leadership was nonsense, and she 0.77

00:04:33.320 was never going to be able to have the chance to become a leader. How is she literally getting 3% 1.00

00:04:37.480 and Frank Bayliss also gets 3%? And then, again, you have, like, Chrystia Freeland only getting eight.

00:04:43.240 That's ridiculous. And so I think this is an underrated attack angle that the Liberals have

00:04:48.880 basically fraudulently installed this guy into office, and they're willing to do things like

00:04:53.540 get rid of the carbon tax temporarily in order so that this guy can get a full four-year term and

00:04:58.760 do all the crazy stuff he's been talking about in interviews for a decade.

00:05:02.860 Unfortunately, I don't have all the details. All I can say is that it's a very small number of people

00:05:07.360 that voted in the Liberal leadership race, much smaller than in ours. We excited people.

00:05:13.240 Because people thought this is a chance to bring home the Canada that we knew and still love, where

00:05:17.620 you can work hard and have a great life, where you can afford a home, where seniors can put food

00:05:22.580 on their tables, where our streets are safe. That's one of the reasons why I was blessed to receive the

00:05:29.600 biggest number of votes of any leadership candidate in Canadian history that I'm aware of. Thank you.

00:05:35.160 And that's the funny thing, too, is that like Carney, even with the Liberal Party basically packing votes

00:05:43.540 for the guy, he got less than half of what Pierre Polyev got in 2022. And you could say, well, the

00:05:50.120 conservative leadership went on longer. There's a longer time to sign people up. Sure. But you also

00:05:55.160 have to pay $15 for a conservative membership. What do you have to pay for a Liberal membership?

00:05:59.620 And by the way, when Polyev mentioned that that Mark Carney has a trouble with the truth, 0.99

00:06:05.100 and he constantly tells stupid lies in his like in any press conference he has or any statement that 0.95

00:06:11.120 he makes, he's not he is not lying. Of course, Mark Carney is the liar. What Mark Carney literally 1.00

00:06:17.180 did yesterday is he tried to take a shot at Pierre Polyev for not getting the security clearance to get

00:06:21.860 the NISACOP report. The reason Polyev doesn't want it is because if he took it, he couldn't talk about

00:06:26.840 it, which means that getting security clearance is nonsense. He's had to get security clearances

00:06:31.640 before for other committees. He's been on committees where there was like, you know,

00:06:36.520 top secret information given that was classified, you needed security clearances. The one that for the

00:06:41.800 NISACOP report was like artificially a higher, like verification of security, but has nothing to

00:06:46.520 do with Polyev. They end up interviewing everyone, your grandmother, your dog, in order for you to get 0.93

00:06:52.360 the security clearance, which is, you know, kind of sketchy in the sense that everyone in your family

00:06:58.280 is going to have to ask deep personal questions and they get looked into, even though Polyev has

00:07:02.840 already been looked into himself to the degree that government does. And so would you trust the

00:07:08.680 government to look into your family members when they're trying to beat you in the next election?

00:07:14.760 And like they can now have, they could potentially find dirt on every person that you know and then

00:07:19.640 release that. I think that Polyev is smart not to take that security clearance. Even Thomas

00:07:25.800 Mulcair, the former NDP leader, has agreed that Polyev was right about that. But guess what? In the

00:07:32.680 same breath that Mark Carney attacked Polyev for not taking that security clearance, do you know what

00:07:36.920 he did? He lied. And he said, well, I've had to get security clearances before. I've gotten the five

00:07:43.080 eyes security clearance. There is no five eyes security clearance. He's just making stuff up.

00:07:48.840 He's never gotten that sort of security clearance. Like maybe he's gotten a security clearance when he

00:07:53.240 was Justin Trudeau's economic advisor, although he doesn't want to talk about that because he's

00:07:58.040 pretending that he just sprouted up from the ground yesterday and that he's had nothing to do with the

00:08:02.680 government that he's just taken over for. And another good hit on him that Polyev has made, 0.84

00:08:08.360 I have to go pull up my bookmarks here. But Polyev rightfully pointed out that the problem too is that

00:08:13.400 every single minister and every single person currently connected to Mark Carney's new cabinet

00:08:18.520 was in the previous cabinet. It was in Trudeau's cabinet. So check this out. I think it's a good

00:08:25.560 way of putting it. Do I not have that one? Oh, I think I have the one on the carbon tax that they

00:08:31.480 just want to implement a new version of the carbon tax. I think I have something for the cabinet on

00:08:37.160 another day then. But here's another point that Polyev made during the press conference.

00:08:42.760 Carbon tax Carney, we'll try later today to pull another fast one. This one's going to be

00:08:49.640 very sneaky, very sneaky. I call it the carbon tax con job. I told you this was going to happen,

00:08:55.720 by the way. Don't say I didn't warn you. He's going to hide the consumer carbon tax for 60 days.

00:09:02.600 And if he's reelected, he'll bring it back bigger than ever with no rebate. Let's be clear. He says

00:09:11.960 that the carbon tax he intends to bring in after the election will be a quote, shadow carbon tax.

00:09:18.520 And we know that he loves carbon taxes because he publicly advised Trudeau over the last five years to

00:09:23.880 raise the taxes even more. But here's what I've got. This is the liberal carbon tax law. This law

00:09:33.160 cannot be eliminated unless parliament resumes. I don't need to keep this going here. But he is right.

00:09:39.720 What Carney has done by eliminating the carbon tax is just signing some sort of an order in council

00:09:45.800 where it says the carbon tax rate is now zero. So the law is still there and it could be ramped up

00:09:51.240 later. But basically, Carney is just saying, trust me, I'm not going to bring it back.

00:09:55.960 I still think that this is not the best hit on the liberals. They should be going after them for

00:10:01.720 things they're currently doing wrong rather than things they've technically done right,

00:10:05.560 but they could always reverse later. I think it's always smarter to go after things that they've been

00:10:09.800 doing wrong now. And I think what the conservatives need is a really big audacious policy to run on

00:10:15.320 that takes attention away from Mark Carney, lowering immigration to $125,000 a year,

00:10:21.320 absolutely slashing taxes. Say I want to reduce the amount of taxes being paid on the federal level

00:10:27.480 in this country by 20% in my first four-year term. You would have tons of people saying,

00:10:33.320 way better than anything Carney's offering. He just got rid of the carbon tax temporarily,

00:10:37.560 but this guy is going to get rid of it permanently, lower corporate taxes, lower income taxes, and 0.98

00:10:42.280 wipe out a bunch of other stupid government surcharges. And so I just want to show you now, 0.98

00:10:48.360 guys, this new advertisement that conservatives have released. Not that I just want to go over

00:10:53.560 any things that conservatives are saying today, but I think it's important to actually go over what

00:10:57.960 their current marketing is. I think this, and this is something that CBC Watcher posted on X,

00:11:03.640 this is what they're now currently releasing on legacy media channels. And I actually do think it's a

00:11:09.320 decent angle. This is a decent way of running advertisements right now in the Carney era.

00:11:15.160 Don't be too critical. You can be critical. You should be attacking a lot. But the thing is,

00:11:20.040 I think that this should be the boilerplate message you then play in advertisements that's more positive.

00:11:25.640 What binds us together is the Canadian promise that anyone from anywhere can do anything. That hard work

00:11:33.400 gets you a great life in a beautiful house on a safe street, wrapped in the protective arms of a

00:11:39.240 solid border, defended by brave soldiers under a proud flag to preserve that flag and its promise.

00:11:46.360 We must work together, fight together and win together. That is what it means to put Canada first.

00:11:54.120 I think it's a good advertisement. I think they're doing a good job. Do you know who's not doing a good

00:11:58.600 job right now? Subtle transition. It's just a Jagmeet Singh. The man doesn't know what he wants

00:12:05.560 to do right now. I think he wants the election in October. And he's really trying to campaign for

00:12:11.640 that. The problem is, is that as he keeps running away from the next election, his votes keep like

00:12:17.000 draining away from him. And in fact, as conservatives, if we're trying to cheer on somebody right now,

00:12:23.640 we should be cheering on Jagmeet Singh that he eventually gets a brain. Because if he is this

00:12:29.880 bad at politics, he will be giving over so many votes over to the Liberals. This is Jagmeet Singh

00:12:34.840 now begging Mark Carney to work with him to pass legislation to delay the next election effectively.

00:12:40.600 Not legislation to delay the next election, but he wants to work with Carney in the legislature or

00:12:45.480 in the House of Commons in order to just kind of buy time for Jagmeet because he does not prepare for

00:12:51.400 the next election. Mr. Singh, you mentioned that you want to pass supports for workers. Would you

00:12:56.600 be willing to work with the Carney government to stay in power even after March 24th? Right now,

00:13:01.400 only 40% of workers are covered by the current EI. They don't have protection. So I want to see

00:13:06.120 those measures put in place. We can make that happen rapidly. We also need an economic plan to

00:13:11.720 create jobs in our own country. I want to see that plan passed first and an election afterwards.

00:13:16.840 If it takes more time to get that plan in place, would you be open to cutting a deal with the

00:13:22.120 Carney government to work through to get that plan after March 24th? Well, yeah, it's going to take

00:13:25.080 time to get that. If that pushes the election back a bit, that's fine. For me, the priority is to get

00:13:28.680 this stuff done first, and then we go to the election. If it takes more time to put in place

00:13:32.920 protections for workers, to put in place an economic plan to create jobs for workers, yeah, I'm prepared

00:13:37.480 to have a bit more time to get that done for workers, and then we go to the election.

00:13:41.720 The funny thing is I've been seeing people posting NDP advertisements that are playing on YouTube

00:13:47.320 and on Facebook, and they're not that bad in the sense that I don't like the NDP. I'm a conservative.

00:13:54.120 Same time, it's so funny that they're actually putting out decently good quality ads, but then

00:13:58.840 they have this guy leading them who just gives you, please don't call an election energy at all times.

00:14:05.080 You're going to lose if you don't want to face an election. If you don't want to face an election,

00:14:09.160 you're going to get it, and you're going to get absolutely stomped because of it. Here is actually

00:14:13.960 the clip I wanted to play earlier because it's Mark Carney reacting to the fact that most of his

00:14:18.760 people in the current cabinet are just Trudeau's people. Speaking of your cabinet, the frontline of

00:14:24.120 your cabinet and the vast majority of your cabinet were all ministers during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's

00:14:29.160 time. How does this represent change? Well, there's a couple of things.

00:14:32.920 One is this first thing, smaller cabinet, more focused, focused on action. Everybody in this

00:14:41.640 cabinet is senior. Everybody in this cabinet is senior, so I don't accept the front line and the

00:14:46.040 implication that there's a front line in another line. The second thing is one of the...

00:14:50.280 He's just bad on camera. This is the one subtle thing about Mark Carney that you can tell that

00:14:57.960 will do badly in the next election, that he doesn't work well when he's being asked questions

00:15:04.040 he's not prepared for. Top issues, of course, is the crisis with respect to the United States

00:15:10.280 and the opportunity with respect to trade diversification. Keeping together those individuals

00:15:16.680 who have been on, and now I'm going to use your term, the front line, but the front line in a

00:15:23.320 in a commercial battle, keeping together those individuals so that we are seamlessly addressing

00:15:28.680 these issues and seizing the opportunities was very important to us. And that's reflected in the

00:15:34.040 cabinet. But of course, it's reflected fundamentally in their capabilities, which are here for them.

00:15:41.240 It's just like gobbledygook. And again, it's not that you you kind of do need a somewhat generic

00:15:46.920 answer to this that saying, oh, no, it doesn't really matter. The thing is that we're focused

00:15:50.440 on the right things now. He just couldn't say that, though. And that's the problem for Mark Carney is

00:15:55.480 he's just kind of stiff and weird. And I think that the one thing he did that was smart with the

00:16:00.760 cabinet. So I'll always say the plus negatives. The negatives is that he's terrible at marketing what

00:16:05.560 he's trying to do right now. And everyone kind of knows the vast majority of the Trudeau era

00:16:10.120 policies are going to continue. The one smart thing he did was he eliminated a lot of ministries

00:16:15.000 that people that more conservative people don't like more conservative liberals who have been

00:16:20.040 moving over to the conservatives. So he's gotten rid of the women and gender equality ministry. He's

00:16:24.920 gotten rid of the ministry of labor. He's gotten rid of the ministry of like, I think, climate change,

00:16:29.480 and he's renamed it like environment. He's done a lot of things in order to kind of pare down

00:16:34.120 the cabinet. That's smart. Do I think that that's actually reflective of how Mark Carney is as a man?

00:16:41.480 No, the man is a big government economic controller. The man loves bureaucracy. But he understands right

00:16:49.720 now, if he wants to get elected, he's going to have to pretend to be the free market guy,

00:16:54.040 even though when he was the central banker of the UK, that he was like an absolute nightmare to work

00:17:00.200 with, because he was basically trying to threaten the UK government into passing regulations into

00:17:05.480 passing different, like bureaucratic, like just bureaucratic nonsense, when he was the Bank of

00:17:11.640 England manager, because he is effectively, I guess what you would call a an economic planner,

00:17:17.240 that is how the guy works, he does not want to cut taxes, he does not want to cut regulations,

00:17:21.320 his carbon tax is the one little red herring he's throwing out there. I really doubt he cuts taxes

00:17:26.040 in any other way. And that's just going to be the way he's pretending that he takes the free market

00:17:30.200 seriously. But yeah, that should be it for me today, guys. I hope the Conservatives in the next few days,

00:17:36.440 just start absolutely rolling out tons of videos, tons of content, they just need to swamp the media

00:17:42.440 right now, just suck away all the attention that Mark Carney has, and remind Canadians that 90% of

00:17:48.040 everything that's going to be happening with the Carney government is the same thing that Trudeau

00:17:51.960 was doing before. And Mark Carney is probably just trying to get through this next election before

00:17:57.000 he starts really doing what he wants to do, which is not going to be great. Anyways, so that's it for

00:18:02.680 me today, guys. Like, subscribe, share the video, leave a comment, do all that great stuff, and I'll see you later.
