Summary
The more the Liberal government is exposed for having no clue what they're doing, the more the media attacks Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilev for his comments that Justin Trudeau should have been charged for corruption. In this video, we go through a clip from a recent press conference where the media is still attempting to go after him on his comments. We also go into the House of Commons and hear an exchange between him and House Leader Steve McKinnon.

Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. The more the liberal government is exposed for having no
00:00:06.160
clue what they're doing, the more the media attacks Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev.
00:00:12.320
We need to talk about this press conference that he just did earlier today, where the media is
00:00:18.100
still attempting to go after him on his comments that Justin Trudeau should have been charged for
00:00:23.580
corruption, and that the RCMP effectively helped the liberal government cover it up by not asking
00:00:29.500
for asking too many questions or asking for all the documentation. So we're going to go through
00:00:35.340
this video, and then I also want to go into the House of Commons and show the exchange that Polyev
00:00:40.180
had with House Leader Steve McKinnon today. By the way, in my last video, I said Dominic LeBlanc when
00:00:46.580
we were talking about a video of Steve McKinnon. I get those two mixed up sometimes. I am sorry.
00:00:53.260
But before we get into all these clips, I do just want to talk about the Calgary mayoral election.
00:00:58.500
Right now, there are going to be recounts for the mayor's race. It is razor thin. I don't think
00:01:04.980
it's going to change the outcome. It could. Obviously, it could mean that Farkas' lead just
00:01:10.260
grows. But I'm going to do a bigger video on it once everything is finalized, just in case you
00:01:16.140
don't want a video to become poorly aged because we talk about Mayor Farkas, and then it flips over
00:01:21.020
the sharp. At the very least, we can say, hey, Gondek is not the mayor. I was right about the dynamics
00:01:27.380
of the race. Gondek ended up becoming our Laurie Lightfoot of Calgary, an incumbent who comes an
00:01:34.180
embarrassing distant third place up against her two other rivals. Now, I'd prefer it was sharp that
00:01:40.620
one, but hopefully because the majority of council this time looks to be at least center to center
00:01:46.720
right. Maybe Farkas will have to go along with that crowd to actually fix a bunch of issues,
00:01:51.460
even though I am deeply, deeply skeptical of his political views these days. But anyways,
00:01:57.700
now let's get into Pierre Polly at this press conference where the media is hounding him
00:02:03.200
about his comments on the Northern Perspective channel about Trudeau and the RCMP.
00:02:08.260
All of your MPs will still be conservative MPs.
00:02:11.760
You went too far in saying the prime minister, former prime minister, should be in jail.
00:02:16.940
And he's right. The media has taken what he said, basically saying that Trudeau probably
00:02:25.040
should have been charged, and they've turned it and extrapolated the comment out to, oh,
00:02:29.920
he thinks Trudeau should have been locked up behind bars and only fed gruel for the next 30 years.
00:02:35.520
No, he said that Trudeau escaped being charged because the RCMP dropped the ball on the investigation,
00:02:42.740
whether intentional or not. They did, again, they did not dig down the way that they should have
00:02:48.160
if you were investigating corruption in government. And now everyone's clutching their parole saying,
00:02:52.280
oh, he wants to jail his political opponents. How much money do you have to steal as a prime
00:02:57.900
minister before you are allowed to actually be charged or held accountable? Now, I don't mean
00:03:02.600
steal like it's in Trudeau's vault right now, but in terms of deliberately wasting money,
00:03:08.080
deliberately funneling money towards your friends. At some point, when does government graft
00:03:13.540
actually become criminal without it being considered too partisan to go after the person?
00:03:21.620
Sure. I'll tell you what I said. I was asked about the scandals of the last 10 years of the
00:03:26.000
liberal government. And what would I do if such scandals and corruption were to happen
00:03:30.860
when I become prime minister? And I said I would have zero tolerance for corruption. Nobody is above the law.
00:03:37.020
So if I could, if I could, if I could, in certain cases, I think there were scandals in the liberal
00:03:42.460
government that would be appropriately punished in that way. You think of the green slush fund,
00:03:47.100
where individuals were appointed to a board to manage public funds. And what did they do with it?
00:03:53.980
They gave it to themselves. To me, that is a crime for which they should have been held responsible.
00:04:00.720
People have got to be held responsible for corruption. And if you look at my remarks,
00:04:04.900
that's what I said. We will hold people accountable for corruption.
00:04:08.960
And then the same thing can apply to SNC-Lavalin, to We Charity, to a lot of other things where
00:04:14.780
somebody was obviously taking gifts that were not at all ethical to take, or they were effectively
00:04:21.520
getting like a favored company off of criminal charges, off of a ban list on federal infrastructure,
00:04:28.820
simply because of government connections. The idea that you can't charge means that it's going to
00:04:36.440
increase corruption. If no one can ever be held accountable, then nobody is going to be accountable.
00:04:47.020
My criticisms of Ms. Lucky have been longstanding. And that's why we called for her to resign.
00:04:53.180
We called for her to resign for a number of numerous scandals that she and the RCMP failed
00:04:58.460
to investigate for the political interference, the appalling political interference in the
00:05:03.720
Portapix shooting case and countless others. We've had longstanding criticisms of Ms. Lucky,
00:05:09.160
the former commissioner, and we stand by those three. And that was the thing that was so obnoxious
00:05:14.240
about the media coverage of all this. They would act like, oh wow, Polly really hates the police.
00:05:20.740
Like, what are you talking about? Do you think any average rank and file officer likes Brenda Lucky?
00:05:27.940
Do you think they like the current commissioner? No. These are political hacks who ended up getting
00:05:33.360
their way to the top of the totem pole on the RCMP, not because they're good cops, because they're
00:05:38.300
loyal to, you know, the powers that be. They're the type of people who very much go along with
00:05:44.200
DEI type stuff that the liberals are favoring or gun control. Like we had that sergeant or that
00:05:49.380
captain of the Cape Breton police who was talking about how this is very good that we're rolling
00:05:54.140
out this gun buyback and I support it and we need guns off the streets. Do you think that that guy's
00:05:59.380
stupid enough to think that taking away some guy's uncle's shotgun from his farm is going to make
00:06:04.960
people more safe? Of course, he doesn't think that. But if you want to try and become deputy
00:06:10.740
commissioner and then the full commissioner of the RCMP one day, you have to say a lot
00:06:15.240
of stupid things to get there. And I think you get a lot of people in the RCMP who are not
00:06:19.960
going up the ranks because they're good cops, but because, again, they're politically favored
00:06:26.680
We skip when they talk in French because I don't want to do this. I wish that some conservatives
00:06:40.680
were upset by what you said about the RCMP. Well, listen, my view is that conservatives all
00:06:45.680
agree on one thing. People should be held accountable for corruption and my future government will
00:06:50.180
do that. People will be held to the highest standard. And if there is if there is ever
00:06:55.080
corruption, when I'm prime minister, the people involved will be fired and their case is turned
00:07:00.180
This is such a stupid thing for the liberals and the media, the media on the left to try
00:07:06.620
and be pushing on. You're really trying to create a big uproar over an issue when Canadians
00:07:12.020
hear more than 20 seconds of what what was said. They're like, well, of course, he's right.
00:07:16.700
You should be holding these people accountable. Obviously, it's such a dumb rope to be pulling
00:07:22.020
on if you're the left that I can't believe he wants people charged. Well, for what? If
00:07:28.240
you explain to people for what he wants them charged for, they're like, oh, absolutely.
00:07:31.520
People are getting away with that. That's crazy.
00:07:38.440
Mistaken suggesting that Prime Minister Trudeau should have gone to jail.
00:07:42.460
That's not what I said. If you look at my remarks.
00:07:44.300
It's just so wild. They're trying to turn this into a circus. Now, what they're trying
00:07:55.320
to do is they're trying to hype up this idea that three conservative MPs may cross the floor
00:07:59.920
to the liberals. And apparently it's about these comments. I think that's complete nonsense
00:08:04.820
when I started seeing that being reported by Trending Politics. And it's not Trending Politics's
00:08:08.840
fault. They're just putting out what the rumor is that's spreading around. I think it's people
00:08:13.320
deliberately putting out bad rumors because they need attention off of Mark Carney right
00:08:17.860
now because he's the most apparent man with a plan that is taking more than six months
00:08:24.340
It was so bad. I was on a Rebel News live stream today and somebody made the point very succinctly
00:08:30.120
that Stephen Gilbeau is talking about how he'd like to see as the heritage minister or official
00:08:36.380
languages minister more money injected into the CBC. But he doesn't know if there's actually
00:08:42.360
more money for the CBC in the budget. You've had six months to work on this and your own ministers
00:08:47.500
don't know what's in the budget related to their own files. It's absolutely pathetic.
00:08:52.460
You think that would be one of the top line numbers, very easy for even backbench MPs to
00:08:56.440
know off the top of their head that like how much money is the CBC going to get this year?
00:09:00.600
And he doesn't know because the liberals don't know what they're doing at all. In fact, again,
00:09:04.320
like we talked about yesterday when Steve McKinnon was talking to the media, he literally vocalized
00:09:09.800
that he is worried about if the budget can pass or not. Now, people are saying maybe the liberals
00:09:14.720
want the budget not to pass because they think it's their time to get a majority.
00:09:18.340
No, I guarantee you not. The media and the liberal party would not be attacking
00:09:24.720
Kiripolyev as much as they are right now if they didn't perceive him as a threat. If the liberals
00:09:31.140
were actually doing well, they'd just keep puttering along because they could probably bully the NDP
00:09:36.180
into supporting them because if the government is doing a good job, the NDP would look bad to try
00:09:39.800
and trip them up. They actually think there's probably a chance that the NDP may just kill the
00:09:44.440
party right now or kill the government and go to a new election because, hey, even if you have your
00:09:49.020
interim leader, Don Davies, leading the party, if there's enough blood in the water, even the NDP
00:09:53.760
could end up hitting the target on a few of these ridings and pick up some extra seats.
00:09:58.320
You know, even the NDP doesn't suck at politics this much that they can't go from seven seats to 15.
00:10:03.520
Now, though, we need to go to the live stream today of Question Period because the exchanges between
00:10:12.280
Polly Evans, Stephen McKinnon were quite great. I'm going to do that in just a minute.
00:10:17.040
But before I do that, guys, before we bring it on screen, I do have to remind you, if you like the
00:10:23.060
channel, make sure to leave a like on the video, subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber, and of
00:10:27.960
course, leave a comment on what you think about everything going on right now. I think there's a
00:10:33.220
lot of just political games being played and not for, it's not, I was going to say not for election
00:10:38.860
reasons, but what I mean when I say this, I mean, like, it's not the liberals playing games because
00:10:45.860
they're up to something. They're on the run, and they're just tossing stuff behind them. They're
00:10:50.880
running from the conservatives, and they're just dropping any sharp objects they can find on, like,
00:10:55.620
they could find while they run away to try and gain some distance and trip Polly about because he's on
00:11:00.460
their tail now. We looked at the polling yesterday, the liberals right after the election jumped up to
00:11:05.960
having an average of a nine point lead over the conservatives. Now their lead is about a point and a
00:11:11.020
half. And by the way, the conservative vote is actually more efficient than the liberal vote is
00:11:16.060
these days, meaning that if the liberals get 100,000 votes, maybe they win three seats. But if the
00:11:22.200
conservatives get 100,000 votes, we're just talking about the national numbers.
00:11:25.260
Every 100,000 votes nationally that the conservatives are getting is resulting in four seats. So that's
00:11:30.320
where the liberals have to be extremely careful because they could go into a new election and win
00:11:35.480
the popular vote and lose the government. The conservatives came with an 8,000 votes of having
00:11:40.820
a minority government in the closest ridings. Even though, even though they lost the entire popular
00:11:48.180
vote by 2.3 percent, they were literally like a 0.1 percent of the way from winning the entire thing,
00:11:54.760
and at least getting the minority government. But here we go with the question period today,
00:12:01.100
and Paulie, of going after the House leader. Obviously, the Prime Minister is not too interested
00:12:06.220
in answering a lot of these questions today. He does a little bit of a back and forth, but
00:12:09.780
eventually he drops out. I believe he starts going back and forth with Steve McKinnon here.
00:12:13.820
Oh, no, it is Carney today. Okay, never mind. I thought it was Steve McKinnon,
00:12:17.560
but there's something else I want to bring up later then.
00:12:23.900
Mr. Speaker, today I will be meeting with the Prime Minister to discuss the 10th liberal budget.
00:12:31.700
We, the conservatives, want an affordable budget so Canadians can have an affordable life.
00:12:38.480
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister did not keep his promise to spend less. He doubled the deficit he
00:12:46.460
inherited, and now the inflation rates are climbing. In fact, all measures are higher than the Bank of
00:12:55.360
Canada target. Will the Prime Minister agree to what we're looking for, for an affordable life for
00:13:02.660
The right Honourable Prime Minister. Mr. Speaker, it will be an affordable budget and an ambitious...
00:13:14.240
An affordable budget. They're going to be over $60 billion into the deficit, but it's going to be affordable somehow.
00:13:20.840
One, affordable for operational expenditures. We will clean up operational expenditures, but we will be
00:13:32.780
investing in Canada. This will be the largest investment in our country, in the history of our country.
00:13:43.720
Mr. Speaker, that is exactly what this liberal government promised 10 years ago. But what's the
00:13:53.820
result? They doubled the debt, they doubled weight lines at food banks, doubled the cost of housing,
00:13:59.560
and investments have dropped, more so here in Canada than in any other G7 country and in the history of
00:14:07.200
Canada. Today, there are 2 million Canadians who need to turn to food banks. And food inflation is
00:14:16.740
skyrocketing. Will the Prime Minister learn from his lessons, reduce deficits, and eliminate hidden taxes
00:14:29.420
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, as I've just said, this will be a cleaning up of operational expenditures for the
00:14:38.960
first time in a decade in this country. Second.
00:14:45.060
Okay. One, it's getting annoying listening to them in French. But goodness, we're cleaning up
00:14:51.620
operational expenses. How do you have such a big deficit, though? This wasn't like you had to put
00:14:55.900
together an emergency budget so a lot of the cost-saving measures can't be done until next
00:14:59.680
year because it's just too short of a timeline. You took six months and you didn't figure out how
00:15:05.200
to just reduce it so it wasn't going to be $60 billion. Again, the thing is such a dog's breakfast.
00:15:12.400
They're not sure if they're actually going to be able to pass it with the Bloc Capicoat,
00:15:21.440
Mr. Speaker, today the Prime Minister and I will meet to discuss...
00:15:25.040
I should have started in English, but you guys heard it all in French there. But now I want to
00:15:28.980
jump ahead to the exchange that he actually ended up having with Steve McKinnon, because Steve
00:15:37.040
McKinnon was involved in all this, and I'm not just hallucinating Steve McKinnon's and Dominic
00:15:40.880
LeBlanc's in places that they do not belong. But Polyev and Steve McKinnon had this exchange later on
00:15:47.220
Well, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The folks are feisty over there today.
00:15:54.360
What I will say is, we've been hearing all week, all month, since the beginning of this
00:15:59.300
session, about these imaginary taxes. These imaginary taxes in the brain of the leader
00:16:06.040
of the opposition, but that no one else has seemed to manage. What I will tell him is that
00:16:11.800
there will be a budget, there will be some numbers and some tables that he can read there
00:16:16.740
where he will not find taxes on food. There is no tax on food. There will never be a tax on food.
00:16:22.360
He's going to walk into it right here because Steve McKinnon should know that obviously Polyev
00:16:28.180
is talking about the inflation tax, the idea that by spending and printing so much money,
00:16:33.820
the government is pushing up the prices of food, the price of food because of fiscal irresponsibility.
00:16:40.060
The fact that they're clapping and they think this was good is really telling on just how
00:16:44.320
poor at communications the Liberals have become.
00:16:50.140
Well, first, we're all disappointed to learn that Liberals think that Canadians who see grocery
00:16:56.280
prices rising at records rates are just imagining things, Mr. Speaker. And further disappointed to
00:17:04.620
see that this Prime Minister cannot stand in his place and address real questions about the cost
00:17:10.640
of groceries for Canadians. It's not just the industrial carbon tax, Mr. Speaker. It is also
00:17:16.800
the government's fuel standard, which according to their own department is going to increase the cost
00:17:22.880
of fuel by 17 cents on the farmers and the truckers who bring us our food. Does he really expect consumers
00:17:28.800
to leave that one? Yeah. So then they end up throwing Patty Hayes you out there instead of actually
00:17:45.760
having someone real respond to the question. And that was what happened earlier on. He ended up pushing
00:17:51.040
Carney into the corner. So Steve McKinnon got up and then Steve McKinnon was pushed into the corner.
00:17:55.280
And then Patty Hayes you gets up. The government's not doing very well when it comes to actual
00:18:00.400
rhetorical defense for just the poor practices. Because again, is this worse than under Trudeau?
00:18:07.760
I'm not sure if I can really answer that. The thing is, it's not what Carney promised. And when
00:18:12.320
you set expectations high, like Carney had to do in order to get anyone back on board, it was the
00:18:17.520
combination of basically running against Trump for Carney, as well as setting expectations extremely high,
00:18:24.240
is how he was able to get back in office. And six months of constant failures and rhetorical fumbles,
00:18:30.240
well, naturally, they're on their heels now. And they actually are kind of worried about facing a
00:18:35.040
new election because they just do not have it in them to actually make it through this one.
00:18:39.600
Anyways, so with that being said, that should be it for me today, guys. I will make sure when I play the
00:18:45.520
CPAC stuff, let's not have to listen to it in French in the future, but it is still the same content.
00:18:50.480
But yeah, so with all the stuff about conservatives potentially crossing the floor, I really don't
00:18:56.640
see it happening. I think that's just a phantom rumor just to try and throw Polly off up against
00:19:02.000
the wall. But I think like he, how he responded in that press conference, I think he is doing a good
00:19:07.040
job to avoid being put into a corner by the media in order to basically buy some breathing room for the
00:19:14.480
liberals. The RCMP story is such a dud. Nobody actually thinks conservatives are anti-cop.
00:19:20.240
And nobody actually thinks these RCMP commissioners are not obvious partisan liberal hacks. So Polly,
00:19:26.560
if anything, is going to score points with police officers by going after these commissioners that
00:19:32.080
most police officers do not like. Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys.
00:19:37.840
Thank you for watching, and I will see you guys all later.
