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,
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
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
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
00:04:33.320
was never going to be able to have the chance to become a leader. How is she literally getting 3%
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,
00:06:05.100
and he constantly tells stupid lies in his like in any press conference he has or any statement that
00:06:11.120
he makes, he's not he is not lying. Of course, Mark Carney is the liar. What Mark Carney literally
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
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,
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
00:10:42.280
wipe out a bunch of other stupid government surcharges. And so I just want to show you now,
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.
