00:00:00.480 hey guys wyatt claypool here we have some good news on the policy front for the conservative
00:00:06.320 party of canada conservative leader pierre polyev hopefully becoming the new mp for battle river
00:00:12.400 crowfoot soon is committing to severely limiting the population of growth of canada by ratcheting
00:00:19.680 back even harder on immigration than what he was previously committing to check out this clip right
00:00:24.960 here order security bill that was tabled last week bill c2 you have an offer to refuse on can you
00:00:30.480 give us well we we support a stronger border we want severe limits on population growth to reverse
00:00:37.520 the damage the liberals did to our system the population has been growing out of control our
00:00:43.600 borders have been left wide open this has caused the free flow of drugs human trafficking illegal
00:00:50.720 migration and much worse and that is why we want a stronger border we want to crack down 1.00
00:00:57.120 on abuses in the immigration system and we want to ensure that that any frauds in the refugee system
00:01:04.480 are reversed those are the things we're looking at but we're also going to study the bill carefully to
00:01:08.640 make sure that you know long-standing canadians who are following the law are not having their
00:01:14.800 rights and freedoms violated thank you so the press conference ended there but i was happy to see at
00:01:23.520 least there is a rhetorical shift happening with polyev and the conservatives because during the election
00:01:29.440 i was not very happy with the limits that they were running on i thought they were just a half measure
00:01:35.280 and in fact it was probably hurting them with voters because when you come out with a new immigration
00:01:40.640 plan to limit immigration and it's not that much smaller than what the liberals were letting in
00:01:46.240 it makes a lot of people who are very hawkish when it comes to immigration wanting it severely limited
00:01:51.520 to be a little less likely to actually show up and vote and i'm not just making things up when i say
00:01:56.880 that if you actually were committing to even lower numbers than what polyev ran in on 2025 which was a
00:02:03.760 limit of 200 000 250 000 you would do better i did a poll with kolsov ski strategies that showed 75
00:02:12.480 percent of canadians would be in favor of limiting immigration to just 100 000 per year for permanent
00:02:19.280 residents which would be the way i do it for of temporary foreign workers and foreign students as well
00:02:24.880 basically just limit each of those categories to 100 000 each and also ensure that student visas and
00:02:31.120 temporary foreign worker visas cannot just be auto renewed so that someone can stay here indefinitely
00:02:36.400 when they're not actually a citizen or a permanent resident and we even had these stats showing that
00:02:41.920 even 58 percent of new democrats would be in favor of that limit of 100 000 73 percent of liberals and 83
00:02:50.720 percent of conservatives this is a winning issue and i'm very happy that polyev has has rhetorically
00:02:57.760 shifted towards what i am basically suggesting because i don't think he would say that if he was
00:03:03.600 just pitching the exact same immigration rates he was during the election a hundred thousand is very
00:03:09.200 popular he will do way better if he runs on it because like he said there that we need to reverse
00:03:15.440 the damage that's been done we can't just hold ourselves in we can't just put ourselves in a holding
00:03:20.400 pattern where we have the amount of people entering the country equal the amount of houses that have been
00:03:26.000 built each year because that's what's polyev's original plan but the problem with that is it
00:03:30.480 doesn't you know clear the backlog it doesn't get uh rid of the the over demand on housing what you
00:03:37.200 need to do is have the immigration rate be so low it starts allowing housing prices to come down
00:03:43.680 so those young canadians who stopped looking for houses years ago actually will get back into the
00:03:49.360 market and be able to find something more reasonable now i just had to highlight something
00:03:54.240 completely ridiculous that was said regarding this uh well a couple things uh something a
00:04:00.640 conservative said and then something a journalist said we'll start off with the journalist or commentator
00:04:05.760 andrew coin because he took issue with polyev saying this because andrew coin is not a conservative
00:04:12.720 andrew coin stopped being a conservative probably 20 years ago but he's just been pretending up until this
00:04:20.000 point that no no no i'm still conservative because i believe that we need to conserve our institutions
00:04:27.360 which just means that whatever the liberals create conservatives must defend it or they're not actually
00:04:32.320 conservative before i get into this part guys i just want to remind you if you like my political
00:04:37.360 coverage make sure to drop a like on this video subscribe to the channel if you're not yet a subscriber
00:04:42.080 and leave a comment on the topic of the day i am sorry for being sick today i've been sick for the
00:04:48.000 last couple of days but i am still able to motor through this it definitely is a topic i wanted to
00:04:53.120 talk about not put off too long but in response to peer polyev talking about severe limits on canada's
00:04:59.680 population growth through immigration limits andrew coin says he's officially panicking this is awful
00:05:07.680 polyev calls for severe limits on canada's population growth he's panicking no he is not
00:05:13.760 uh and and and that's what michael barrett said uh conservative mp for where again he doesn't even
00:05:20.240 list it he's a very good conservative mp i know he's from ontario uh but michael barrett says no he's
00:05:25.600 not but anyone looking for a doctor or a job might be panicking and he shows the canada net international
00:05:32.000 migration 1952 to 19 uh 2023 chart and 2024 was almost as bad as 2023 and now 2025 may be worse than both
00:05:41.200 uh we see this chart of how many people net are entering the country per year and this is net so
00:05:48.160 anyone leaving the country is offsetting a point of this and so we went from early 2020s or so or 2019
00:05:57.120 2018 having around 300 000 people entering net per year and then in 22 and like 21 22 and 23 we started
00:06:07.920 having hundreds like high hundreds of thousands to over a million people we are a country of only 40
00:06:16.320 million people part of that is part of previous immigration waves so we're adding more than one
00:06:23.040 percent of the population like 1.72 of the population per year and that is somehow still around two percent
00:06:32.160 of the population being added even with all of the immigration from the last 10 years counted as
00:06:37.520 domestic population that is absolutely insane but people like andrew coin believe in normality
00:06:44.960 normality culture peer poly of is not it's not sounding normal because he wants severe limits and in
00:06:50.560 canadian politics doesn't peer poly of no we talk in soft tones about things we don't rock the boat we
00:06:57.040 just say well it is what it is and it doesn't matter how bad the problems are to change anything would
00:07:02.400 be unconservative i find people like andrew coin to be very cancerous when it comes to uh politics in
00:07:10.960 canada just constantly naysaying people into not wanting into not actually making changes because
00:07:16.960 he's living fine of course andrew coin's doing fine but i don't care if andrew coin's doing fine i care
00:07:22.320 about the average person uh this guy john fraser had a great response to andrew coin here he says
00:07:28.400 poly of is not panicking he's just saying what needs to be said out loud canada has a serious
00:07:33.360 immigration crisis that is impacting our health care education housing policy and public safety
00:07:38.960 absolutely and i am hope that peer poly of just starts listening to the voices urging him to limit
00:07:45.440 immigration harder because that is what is going to win him the next election stop listening to tim opel one 1.00
00:07:52.160 of his deputy uh leaders who at one point was even saying let's eliminate the english tests for new
00:07:57.840 immigrants no the english tests in fact should probably be stricter so that we have people 0.99
00:08:03.200 coming to the country who can speak like basic english so many immigrants these days just cannot speak the 1.00
00:08:11.360 language and it does harm the country in many different ways when people don't even communicate
00:08:17.440 anymore when people start to only live in enclaves because they entered the country not being able to 0.80
00:08:21.920 speak the language but there's enough people who also only speak bunjabi or hindi or mandarin that you
00:08:28.240 can go just live in those particular areas we need to stop that it is divisive for the country it's not
00:08:34.640 good for the economy overall to constantly have tfw workers replacing canadians and jobs it's not
00:08:41.120 everyone can see it you can go to any city go to fast food restaurants it's pretty much only foreign workers 1.00
00:08:47.040 it's it's really disgusting and when people say well it's because they're working jobs canadians
00:08:51.680 won't work it was only a few years ago i saw a lot of young canadian kids working out at those uh like
00:08:57.920 at those fast food restaurants and they've been replaced because they're subsidized the tfw employees
00:09:03.120 are subsidized by the federal government so why wouldn't you hire them they're getting three dollars and
00:09:07.760 fifty cents per hour of their of their wages being comped by the federal government so a canadian
00:09:14.160 employee didn't get out competed by someone who's more of a go-getter no they are being out competed
00:09:19.360 by someone who is because it's fifteen dollars minimum wage in alberta they're having to demand
00:09:25.200 fifteen dollars and this other person in old is only having to ask for like eleven like twelve fifty
00:09:32.080 i think i messed that up eleven fifty of course you're going to hire the person who only cost you eleven
00:09:37.120 fifty per hour which is also why i think minimum wages are stupid in general because it allows because at the
00:09:43.360 end of the day there's always going to be a way around the minimum wage to hire somebody who will
00:09:48.000 do it for less but everyone else who lives here and as a citizen cannot get around that it's why 0.99
00:09:53.040 minimum wages in the u.s are so bad because what it allows uh what it basically incentivizes is people
00:09:59.200 hiring illegal immigrants to do things that are not documented and it's everything's being done under 0.84
00:10:03.600 the table because to hire someone in california you had to be paying like eighteen dollars usd per hour
00:10:10.400 uh and then you can just like why not just hire someone you can pay for ten bucks and that's just
00:10:14.560 what's going to happen anyways that's my rant today but i'm very happy that polyup is becoming
00:10:21.760 harder on this issue we need a conservative party that's going to offer a big vision contrast with
00:10:28.160 the liberals i don't like the mentality that they were first entering parliament in this year uh with
00:10:34.480 this year where they were saying well we're gonna basically be the government in waiting we're going
00:10:39.200 to sort of give the liberals room to do what they want to do and we are going to sit here and be the
00:10:43.520 government in waiting when they mess up carney is not a flashy guy he's not flashy anything so if
00:10:50.560 carney messes up it's not going to be a flashy screw it could be terrible but it's going to take a
00:10:57.440 lawyer and an accountant about you know 30 minutes to explain why what carney just did is really bad so
00:11:03.520 if the conservatives are going to beat him they can't wait for him to implode they have to offer a big
00:11:08.800 vision that is better than what carney is currently doing and that is restricting immigration severely
00:11:14.480 lowering uh taxes and spending it's actually you know taking on some of the cultural issues
00:11:20.800 standing up for parental rights that's how you win anyways that should be it for me today guys i'll see you
00:11:26.320 later
