After six months in office, Prime Minister Mark Carney has yet to approve a single major project in Canada. Conservative Party Leader Pierre Polyvencic calls him out for "False Advertising" and questions why he picked the five projects he did.
00:00:00.000Hey 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.
00:00:17.020A 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.
00:00:34.140So, 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.
00:00:52.740But 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.
00:01:13.180If 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.
00:01:24.140And then also, of course, on this video, leave a comment about what you think is going on right now.
00:01:30.980Okay, here are the five major projects as reported by the CBC, but I'm just using the Polling Canada's posting of it.
00:01:38.840The 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,
00:01:51.200the Darling New Nuclear Project in Carleton, Ontario, or Clarington, Ontario, which will make small modular reactors,
00:01:59.160and Conacher Terminal Container Project to expand the Port of Montreal, the McIlvina Bay Foreign Copper Mine Project in Saskatchewan,
00:02:12.040and the expansion of the Red Criss Mine in Northwest B.C.
00:02:15.920Why 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?
00:02:24.480I think Carney only picked some of these projects because he knew it was going to trip me up.
00:02:30.080But here is Polyev reacting to the announcement of these projects when he was asked a question about it by a CBC reporter.
00:02:37.420I 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.
00:02:45.460Good morning. Carly Thomas with CBC News.
00:02:52.280What do you make of some of the first major projects announced by the government,
00:02:56.020and what do they tell you about the government's priorities?
00:02:58.500Do you think these government funds should be used to support any of these future projects?
00:03:03.960What we have today is Mark Carney, after six months, has not approved a single national project anywhere in Canada.
00:03:26.760He's not permitted a single major mine, pipeline, nuclear plant, or anything else.
00:03:33.640What 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,
00:03:44.140which will one day consider possibly approving five projects.
00:03:52.000And that's not even approving five projects.
00:03:55.500That's approving five projects for fast tracking, which means the approval process for the fast tracking is, in fact, incredibly slow.
00:04:03.980And these projects may actually just get approved in their own time following the normal path based on the current speed of the government.
00:05:10.620Repeal the industrial carbon tax, the energy cap, the shipping ban, C-69, the pipeline ban.
00:05:17.340Repeal all of those liberal laws so that we can become a country that is strong, self-reliant, and stands on its own two feet.
00:05:26.500And I would just conclude by looking at the results of Mr. Carney, not his promises.
00:05:30.080Before I get, I'll let him get to the conclusion there.
00:05:33.380I 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.
00:05:39.080And 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.
00:05:46.580When 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.
00:05:58.580These 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.
00:06:21.680And this is the liberal tactic under Carney right now.
00:06:24.160It almost can't possibly get worse than when Justin Trudeau was prime minister.
00:06:29.220And so by just making it a little bit better, we're all going to be like, oh, wow, this is fantastic.
00:06:33.500This press conference that Polyev was putting on was about crime.
00:06:36.620And there's a parallel to the crime issue on this because the left loves to measure crime from the peak.
00:06:42.760If you start measuring crime from 2015, the liberals record is horrifically bad.
00:06:51.400But 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.
00:07:00.400And because of local crimes down 3% or 4%.
00:07:03.460It's like, okay, 4% from the very highest point.
00:07:07.140And even then, when you look at violent crime, it's down like a decimal point.
00:07:11.680And in fact, because we don't enforce certain laws anymore, certain things do not get reported anymore.
00:07:16.600Do 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?
00:07:25.300Because literally, we have people committing those offenses over and over and over again.
00:07:30.640But because we live in a decriminalized landscape, it doesn't actually count.
00:07:58.340If 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.
00:08:09.000Let'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.
00:08:16.160Hey, 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.
00:08:29.080It'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.
00:08:35.640Guys, $62 billion of net investment has left Canada since he became prime minister.
00:08:45.460That is the worst five-month record of investment in Canadian history.
00:08:50.840Mark Carney has lost 86,000 jobs, and there is nothing to show for his six months.
00:08:57.860It'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.
00:09:08.620And I've been liking Paul Aguilera's sort of rhetorical strength since the election.
00:09:13.900I 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.
00:09:22.880It's like you've got to go for the jugular in politics.
00:09:25.040You've got to just keep hammering until you win.
00:09:31.140That just means that if somebody is doing something wrong on an issue, you don't just say, well, do people really care about that?
00:09:36.760If immigration is an issue, you fight on it until you win.
00:09:39.740You don't just say, well, I don't want to get into something contentious.
00:09:42.580Because as soon as Paulie have waded in, all the polling started coming out and showing no people are on his side.
00:09:46.920In 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%.
00:10:00.540Again, so 30% of people are in favor of keeping them, 44% want to get rid of the TFW program.
00:10:06.060With 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.
00:10:13.960No, Paulie was still okay with agricultural workers.
00:10:17.340He'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.
00:10:28.500If 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.
00:10:44.100Remittances are sucking money out of your country to somewhere where it's not going to be used within your own economy.
00:10:50.000That's not a statement for not wanting to trade.
00:10:52.340Trade is great because you're getting something in exchange.
00:10:54.720When 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.
00:11:03.660It'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.
00:11:12.940But yeah, so I think that's a great line to be using on Kearney right now because truly these projects were kind of pathetic.
00:11:19.020Some of them were just expansions, like let's expand LNG production capacity.
00:11:38.340But even then, it hasn't actually been approved.
00:11:40.880We're just saying we're interested in potentially approving it.
00:11:43.600And by the time we do that, was the fast tracking even worthwhile or would we have gotten the project done by this point anyways?
00:11:50.480Because yeah, right now, if there are projects in the inbox that the government won't touch, that's just pure negligence.
00:11:56.340And 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.
00:12:09.680It's like, well, that's people's livelihoods that you're playing with by doing something like that.
00:12:13.920But anyways, so that should be it for this video, guys.
00:12:26.280I 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.
00:12:34.280And so yeah, word of mouth really does work out.
00:12:36.680And by the way, I am flying to Abbotsford tomorrow because I'm doing an event in Abbotsford with the 1BC party.
00:12:44.160It's our inaugural town hall, so go check out the 1BC website if you want to invent information, if you want to swing by.
00:12:50.500Anyways, with that being said, see you guys all later.
