00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I think the most apt comparison for Prime Minister Mark Carney and his liberal government are those movie trailers that you see where it looked okay, but you also know in the back of your head that they're showing you all the best parts up front.
00:00:17.020 A really bad comedy will have about three or four good jokes, and we see a comedy trailer and it was just meh. You know the whole movie's got to be horrific, and that's what the liberal government so far has been like. They promised a lot during the election, and they are not delivering it.
00:00:34.140 So, Prime Minister Carney released a list today of five major projects that his newly created Office of Major Projects maybe will consider potentially fast-tracking, and Federal Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev, in my mind, is rightfully calling him out for false advertising.
00:00:52.740 But before we get into the clip of Polyev calling him out, I do just want to go over what the five major projects are, and before I do that, I just want to mention that if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on the video, subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber, so I can get to 100,000 subscribers before mid-December of this year, so I don't owe my friends dinner.
00:01:13.180 If I win, they owe me dinner, four people buying one guy dinner, and if I lose, I owe all four of them dinner, and yes, I was the one who created this bet just to put pressure on myself.
00:01:24.140 And then also, of course, on this video, leave a comment about what you think is going on right now.
00:01:30.980 Okay, here are the five major projects as reported by the CBC, but I'm just using the Polling Canada's posting of it.
00:01:38.840 The current five projects that, again, the major projects office might fast-track are Phase II of LNG Canada in Kitimat, B.C., doubling its production of liquefied natural gas,
00:01:51.200 the Darling New Nuclear Project in Carleton, Ontario, or Clarington, Ontario, which will make small modular reactors,
00:01:59.160 and Conacher Terminal Container Project to expand the Port of Montreal, the McIlvina Bay Foreign Copper Mine Project in Saskatchewan,
00:02:12.040 and the expansion of the Red Criss Mine in Northwest B.C.
00:02:15.920 Why can't we all be like Northwest B.C. and just have easy-to-say things like Red Criss Mine rather than these other words that they know why it can't pronounce?
00:02:24.480 I think Carney only picked some of these projects because he knew it was going to trip me up.
00:02:30.080 But here is Polyev reacting to the announcement of these projects when he was asked a question about it by a CBC reporter.
00:02:37.420 I thought he did a very good takedown on the way that Carney's kind of doing stuff, but not even close to the pace that he had been promising.
00:02:45.460 Good morning. Carly Thomas with CBC News.
00:02:52.280 What do you make of some of the first major projects announced by the government,
00:02:56.020 and what do they tell you about the government's priorities?
00:02:58.500 Do you think these government funds should be used to support any of these future projects?
00:03:03.960 What we have today is Mark Carney, after six months, has not approved a single national project anywhere in Canada.
00:03:18.000 It's really incredible.
00:03:19.220 He was elected saying that we are in an unprecedented crisis and that we need it to move with unimaginable speed.
00:03:25.860 So what has he done?
00:03:26.760 He's not permitted a single major mine, pipeline, nuclear plant, or anything else.
00:03:33.640 What he's done today is announced that he's going to send an email to an office that isn't even fully staffed up yet,
00:03:44.140 which will one day consider possibly approving five projects.
00:03:52.000 And that's not even approving five projects.
00:03:55.500 That's approving five projects for fast tracking, which means the approval process for the fast tracking is, in fact, incredibly slow.
00:04:03.980 And these projects may actually just get approved in their own time following the normal path based on the current speed of the government.
00:04:10.940 This is pathetic.
00:04:12.780 Do you know the federal government is blocking 39 projects that are in the regulatory system?
00:04:21.700 39.
00:04:23.220 Scott Moe says there's another hundred projects in Saskatchewan alone that are waiting on federal decisions.
00:04:31.600 The message to Mark Carney and the Liberals is they need to do one thing.
00:04:36.540 Get out of the way. 0.53
00:04:38.960 Get out of the way. 0.53
00:04:42.140 All these projects need to go ahead is the removal of liberal anti-development laws and taxes that make them impossible to build.
00:04:53.280 We don't need a new bureaucracy in Ottawa or a new dream list.
00:04:58.340 We need the federal government to get out of the way.
00:05:01.620 And I'm here to help them do it.
00:05:03.160 I'm putting forward the Canadian Sovereignty Act, which will get the government out of the way.
00:05:07.700 Open the country for business.
00:05:09.440 Unlock our resources.
00:05:10.620 Repeal the industrial carbon tax, the energy cap, the shipping ban, C-69, the pipeline ban.
00:05:17.340 Repeal all of those liberal laws so that we can become a country that is strong, self-reliant, and stands on its own two feet.
00:05:26.500 And I would just conclude by looking at the results of Mr. Carney, not his promises.
00:05:30.080 Before I get, I'll let him get to the conclusion there.
00:05:33.380 I just want to jump back in and just comment on the fact that I've said this in other videos and it drives me off the wall.
00:05:39.080 And ever the government, the government what's doing here is if it approves any projects, it's going to stick that in its own pocket and be like, well, we got that project done.
00:05:46.580 When these things could have been literally finished years ago, they have been held up and now they have made a process that maybe is slightly shorter than the super long process.
00:05:57.220 And look, we sped it up like 25%.
00:05:58.580 These things are going through like 50% faster, not explaining that when Stephen Harper was prime minister or when Paul Martin or Jean Chrétien or, you know, anyone, literally anyone, when Mulroney was prime minister, when Kim Campbell was prime minister, this stuff would have been flying through the approval process because we used to actually care about development in this country.
00:06:21.680 And this is the liberal tactic under Carney right now.
00:06:24.160 It almost can't possibly get worse than when Justin Trudeau was prime minister.
00:06:29.220 And so by just making it a little bit better, we're all going to be like, oh, wow, this is fantastic.
00:06:33.500 This press conference that Polyev was putting on was about crime.
00:06:36.620 And there's a parallel to the crime issue on this because the left loves to measure crime from the peak.
00:06:42.760 If you start measuring crime from 2015, the liberals record is horrifically bad.
00:06:48.060 It's terrible.
00:06:49.300 They suck at curbing crime.
00:06:51.400 But what they'll do is they will take the measuring stick from 2023, which was a peak year for all crime, and then they'll measure crime from there.
00:07:00.400 And because of local crimes down 3% or 4%.
00:07:03.460 It's like, okay, 4% from the very highest point.
00:07:07.140 And even then, when you look at violent crime, it's down like a decimal point.
00:07:10.660 It's so pathetic.
00:07:11.680 And in fact, because we don't enforce certain laws anymore, certain things do not get reported anymore.
00:07:16.600 Do you think that if we added in all the reports of people doing drugs in British Columbia and in Toronto, that those things wouldn't have like triple the amount of crime?
00:07:25.300 Because literally, we have people committing those offenses over and over and over again.
00:07:30.640 But because we live in a decriminalized landscape, it doesn't actually count.
00:07:34.600 It's so stupid.
00:07:36.080 But yeah, and every time, but they will pretend like, oh, look, projects are getting approved faster.
00:07:41.260 Oh, yeah, from their peak level of resistance from the federal government.
00:07:44.560 Yes, we're going faster.
00:07:46.400 But are we going faster on a historical level?
00:07:49.560 No.
00:07:50.280 And considering that this is promised by the guy who said he was the man for the crisis is absolutely silly.
00:07:56.780 We didn't even sit during the summer.
00:07:58.340 If I was Carney, if I was a liberal advisor, I would at least tell him, at least have a one-day-a-week parliament so we can pretend we're listening, so we can pretend we're running on all cylinders.
00:08:09.000 Let's just move the football down the field on some really easy pieces of legislation so that we can at least say, hey, we're passing stuff.
00:08:16.160 Hey, we passed five things over the summer, and they're just uncontroversial motions about nothing or a piece of legislation saying, let's get it done.
00:08:22.740 You could have done something.
00:08:24.000 But truly, Carney is just bad at politics, and he's just like, oh, I don't want to be in parliament right now.
00:08:28.260 Let's go on vacation.
00:08:29.080 It's like, dude, you just promised that you're going to be moving at warp speed, and then you decided you had to go get your feet rubbed at Doug Ford's cottage.
00:08:35.640 Guys, $62 billion of net investment has left Canada since he became prime minister.
00:08:45.460 That is the worst five-month record of investment in Canadian history.
00:08:50.840 Mark Carney has lost 86,000 jobs, and there is nothing to show for his six months.
00:08:57.860 It's time for him to get out of the way, let builders build, let workers work, and let us become a strong, self-reliant, and sovereign country.
00:09:06.820 Thank you.
00:09:08.620 And I've been liking Paul Aguilera's sort of rhetorical strength since the election.
00:09:13.900 I think during the election, his advisors were basically counseling him, you know, just stick it out, just kind of stand there and look prime ministerial.
00:09:22.880 It's like you've got to go for the jugular in politics.
00:09:25.040 You've got to just keep hammering until you win.
00:09:28.160 And that doesn't mean be cruel.
00:09:29.760 That doesn't mean be nasty.
00:09:31.140 That just means that if somebody is doing something wrong on an issue, you don't just say, well, do people really care about that?
00:09:36.760 If immigration is an issue, you fight on it until you win. 0.86
00:09:39.740 You don't just say, well, I don't want to get into something contentious.
00:09:42.580 Because as soon as Paulie have waded in, all the polling started coming out and showing no people are on his side.
00:09:46.920 In fact, not only are people already on his side, but likely based on momentum, he's not just going to end up with the issue of reducing or eliminating TFWs from 44% to 30%.
00:10:00.540 Again, so 30% of people are in favor of keeping them, 44% want to get rid of the TFW program.
00:10:06.060 With all the undecideds and the people who say they're neutral, and even the people who think they're opposed to getting rid of it, it's going to start slanting the other way as people realize.
00:10:13.960 No, Paulie was still okay with agricultural workers.
00:10:17.340 He's still okay with some tourism towns who legitimately can't get people to just work for three months because it's kind of a weird kind of working environment for people who want to be able to have a job full time.
00:10:28.500 If they know that all that stuff is still baked into his policy, they're going to easily be swayed over to saying, yeah, maybe we shouldn't have every single retail store just being stepped up by people who have no connection to Canada and are going to be taking a lot of their money home in remittances.
00:10:42.940 That's the problem.
00:10:44.100 Remittances are sucking money out of your country to somewhere where it's not going to be used within your own economy.
00:10:50.000 That's not a statement for not wanting to trade.
00:10:52.340 Trade is great because you're getting something in exchange.
00:10:54.720 When you're giving someone money and they're just taking it away, that's when we should be taxing remittances because then that's literally just sucking money out of a country.
00:11:03.660 It's like if I was making money and all the profits just went overseas, eventually your economy will have slowed down because of stuff like that.
00:11:12.940 But yeah, so I think that's a great line to be using on Kearney right now because truly these projects were kind of pathetic.
00:11:19.020 Some of them were just expansions, like let's expand LNG production capacity.
00:11:22.840 And that's great.
00:11:23.780 These projects are not offensive to me in any way, shape, or form.
00:11:27.760 The problem is there is no pipeline.
00:11:29.780 There is no, like there's one mine.
00:11:32.680 There is like a nuclear, like a small modular nuclear program.
00:11:36.720 That's fine.
00:11:37.400 All this stuff is fine.
00:11:38.340 But even then, it hasn't actually been approved.
00:11:40.880 We're just saying we're interested in potentially approving it.
00:11:43.600 And by the time we do that, was the fast tracking even worthwhile or would we have gotten the project done by this point anyways?
00:11:50.480 Because yeah, right now, if there are projects in the inbox that the government won't touch, that's just pure negligence.
00:11:56.340 And when people are losing jobs left and right, it's getting to the point where you almost want someone criminally investigated if they are just from neglect or deliberately pausing projects because they don't like them.
00:12:09.680 It's like, well, that's people's livelihoods that you're playing with by doing something like that.
00:12:13.920 But anyways, so that should be it for this video, guys.
00:12:17.500 Hopefully, you'll like the show.
00:12:18.660 Make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, do all that fantastic stuff, and share the show with your friends.
00:12:24.820 It helps the channel growth.
00:12:26.280 I know a lot of people who only started watching because their friends showed it to them, and then they subscribed, and then they started watching for a while, then they showed it to somebody else.
00:12:34.280 And so yeah, word of mouth really does work out.
00:12:36.680 And by the way, I am flying to Abbotsford tomorrow because I'm doing an event in Abbotsford with the 1BC party.
00:12:44.160 It's our inaugural town hall, so go check out the 1BC website if you want to invent information, if you want to swing by.
00:12:50.500 Anyways, with that being said, see you guys all later.
