The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Poilievre has 5,000 person rally! Low-Energy Carney attracts flies

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Since Canada's election kicked off, it's been remarkable to watch the differences in energy levels between Pierre Polyev's Conservative Party and Mark Carney's Liberal Party.

00:00:13.520 Now, I want to state it from the outset that a rally size doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to win the election.

00:00:20.320 Just because you bring in 10 times more people to a rally than your opponent doesn't mean that more people are going to show up to vote for you.

00:00:28.620 Politicians have their own styles. Some are rally guys. Some are not rally guys.

00:00:34.060 But I still have to say, my goodness, if Polyev brings in 5,000 people and Carney, who is the brand new prime minister with tons of media hype around him, can only bring in 500, that says something.

00:00:47.340 It doesn't mean that Polyev has 10 times more support than the general public, but it demonstrates that the Conservatives will show up.

00:00:54.460 The Liberals might show up, and I actually think that Mark Carney's entire election strategy is to have a very short election, bore Canadians to death, have them not really pay attention too much, and have people who vote every election show up and just default vote Liberal.

00:01:09.760 And it is now the Conservatives' job. It is Pierre Polyev's job to excite Canadians, to propose policies that get people's attention.

00:01:19.720 Because Carney is hoping for low turnout. The Conservatives need high turnout. Change elections are always high turnout elections.

00:01:28.320 So the rallies do matter, but they also need to be running on policies that get those who don't really care too much to suddenly be jarred into taking this election seriously and realize,

00:01:38.500 my goodness, we are voting on two extremely different visions for the country, we have Mark Carney, the economic planner who wants the government to run our lives,

00:01:47.680 and we have Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives who actually want to cut taxes and let us succeed or fail on our own, be able to make our own fortunes, make our own luck out there in the world.

00:01:57.720 And I think that is how they need to be playing it. Slash immigration, slash wasteful spending, slash taxes, rather than just offering slightly lower taxes than the Liberals.

00:02:09.080 And I think that they actually have done that so far decently well, where Carney wants a 1% tax cut, and Pierre Polyev wants a 2.25% tax cut. Much better.

00:02:19.160 That is something that people will actually decide their votes on, whereas O'Toole and Trudeau, that was a pathetic election in 2021, where there was almost no differences.

00:02:27.160 But I want to cut to some of this rally footage in just a second here, and then I want to show you some of what the Liberals have been putting out

00:02:34.460 to demonstrate my point that the Liberals are hoping that people are going to be comatose in this election.

00:02:40.700 So guys, harass your neighbors to vote Conservative, because the only way the Liberals win is if people don't take this election seriously.

00:02:49.280 But before I get into it, guys, if you like my coverage, make sure to like this video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment.

00:02:55.840 It really helps us out in the algorithms.

00:02:58.000 I've been noticing you guys commenting way more.

00:03:00.380 I always try and scroll through and read not only the top comments, but I always like to switch to newest comments and to see what people are saying, you know, even several hours after the videos come out.

00:03:09.300 I've been really appreciating it, guys.

00:03:11.320 And now, without further ado, this is the rally that Polyev just had in Surrey.

00:03:16.880 I'm not sure if it was directly in the Surrey city limits, but apparently they had to move it because they were planning on 3,000 people, and their registrations punched well past that, to the point where they had more than 5,000.

00:03:29.540 And there was still a crowd of people waiting outside who couldn't get in.

00:03:33.140 Look at this.

00:03:33.740 Let me state the fact that this is such a big rally, the person filming can't even hear Polyev because he is too far away from them.

00:03:49.080 That is hilarious.

00:03:49.820 This is kind of a difference in scale and tone to Mark Carney's campaign, which cannot attract flies.

00:04:02.160 Again, even when Carney brings in like 500 people to a rally, when you actually break it down, it's like, you know, maybe 100 of them are staffers and media and security.

00:04:13.260 And past that point, you just get some like default liberals who think that they're thumbing their nose at Donald Trump by attending a Carney rally.

00:04:20.460 Here's the two rallies put side by side last night.

00:04:23.480 There's no sound, but you can even see the big media guys back here with their cameras and whatnot.

00:04:29.960 There's not really much energy.

00:04:32.540 I know the sound's off, but do you think there was a lot of energy in that room?

00:04:36.020 It's not terrible.

00:04:37.600 This looks like somebody running for maybe mayor of Lethbridge or mayor of, you know, Kingston.

00:04:43.560 This doesn't look like somebody who's running for prime minister against Polyev.

00:04:48.060 Again, Carney can still easily win.

00:04:50.920 If people show up and the ballot question in their mind is that am I a proud Canadian standing up to Donald Trump, they may vote liberal because it's the anti-Trump option.

00:05:01.040 And that would be a very sad day in Canada that we have people so unserious about the actual structural integrity of this country that they vote because maybe the orange man won't like how they voted.

00:05:12.460 Even though Trump has been basically endorsing Carney.

00:05:16.520 Does he like Carney?

00:05:17.660 Probably not.

00:05:18.300 He's been endorsing them, though, because the man has the spine of Gumby.

00:05:23.100 He's weak.

00:05:24.160 He's malleable.

00:05:25.280 And he thinks he can easily out-negotiate them because that is Trump's responsibility as the president of the United States.

00:05:31.180 He is trying to get the best deal for the American people that he can.

00:05:35.240 And in theory, he gets a worse deal if Pierre Pollard and the conservatives get in.

00:05:39.560 And they are going to cut their own taxes and regulations and make it so that there's tougher competition for the U.S. to take Canadian jobs and vice versa, that Canada could actually start sucking jobs from the U.S. into Canada from, you know, better tax policies if Polyev gets in.

00:05:56.100 And so that's what I want.

00:05:57.640 I want there to be robust competition between the U.S. and Canada. 0.98

00:06:01.780 But Trump wants Carney because there isn't going to be robust competition because Carney sucks.

00:06:06.860 I'm going to make another video later on basically Trump saying, oh, I had a very productive phone call with Mark Carney. 0.61

00:06:13.300 Great guy.

00:06:14.240 Love him.

00:06:14.600 I can't do a Trump impression.

00:06:16.120 I'm sorry.

00:06:16.960 But it is telling.

00:06:18.600 And I always want to jump over to some footage that even, let's go to Polyev's people.

00:06:24.140 This is Polyev walking out of his own rally after the rally because there were still people who couldn't see him.

00:06:32.220 Thank you.

00:06:32.840 Keep with me.

00:06:33.620 Thank you.

00:06:34.780 Right on, Mark.

00:06:35.380 There is literally another parking lot full of people outside, but waiting to see him hours after the event.

00:06:47.700 And if you've ever been to a Polyev event, maybe he can't do it these days because you've got to keep going.

00:06:52.280 Usually stays behind for a couple hours to shake people's hands.

00:06:55.680 So these people have been out there, not able to listen to the rally, waiting for him to be done, waiting for him to meet and greet people just so that they can meet and greet him outside.

00:07:03.900 That is commitment.

00:07:06.420 And I would urge you guys, if you want Polyev to win, especially if you're in a swing riding, volunteer for your local conservative candidate.

00:07:13.080 I know a lot of people are running around following conservative candidates and retweeting and liking what they say.

00:07:18.740 The problem is social media, especially on X, can be a bit of a small, very partisan pool.

00:07:23.260 So you're mostly only talking to people who either vehemently disagree with you or strongly agree with you.

00:07:28.800 So make sure you get out to the doors and wake up a bunch of the people who don't know what this election is about and may be at risk of saying, I'm going to vote Carney because Trump doesn't like him. 0.89

00:07:38.240 My goodness, Trump likes him because he's a weakling.

00:07:41.040 And that's Trump's job to want the weakling.

00:07:43.620 But anyways, I want to move on now to what Carney's people have been posting.

00:07:48.220 So even they, the funny thing is they're actually trying to make it seem like they have energy, that there is like this big crowd of people coming out for Carney.

00:07:56.280 So this is on Mark Carney's own social media page.

00:07:59.640 This is the best they could do to make the crowd look big.

00:08:02.560 They have everyone lined up waiting to walk in.

00:08:05.540 And the actual lineup shot only lasts a few seconds because there's not actually that many people to shoot here.

00:08:12.200 Who's ready?

00:08:13.300 Who's ready to stand up for Canada?

00:08:15.120 And then it was getting too sparse to move it on because it started getting to the parking lot where people weren't really standing in line anymore.

00:08:21.640 There were maybe 90 people they walked past.

00:08:24.600 At best, let's say past the night, there was a bit of a group.

00:08:28.220 Maybe there's another 90.

00:08:29.540 There's like 180 people lined up.

00:08:32.380 So when you later see here him in the rally and people being filmed, they probably had to wait for people to trickle in to have enough to actually film this.

00:08:41.140 And they're going to have a lot of tight shots, by the way.

00:08:43.360 Look.

00:08:45.120 President Trump has been claiming that Canada isn't a real country.

00:08:50.400 He wants to break us so he can own us.

00:08:54.980 We will never, ever let that happen.

00:08:58.700 That's right.

00:08:59.140 We will never, ever let that happen.

00:09:00.580 We will never let them break us.

00:09:05.600 And then he has the call the next day where he's like, oh, maybe Trump had some points.

00:09:09.120 We're going to work on a new security and defense deal and trade deal.

00:09:12.800 It's like, yeah.

00:09:13.720 So you're literally doing what he wants.

00:09:15.460 And there's nothing wrong with that.

00:09:16.560 I think that there was always going to be a win-win scenario in all this.

00:09:19.760 I don't trust Carney to get that win-win scenario across the finish line.

00:09:23.480 I think he just ends up scuffing the deal the way that Trudeau's liberals did the first time.

00:09:28.260 But, you know, what can you do?

00:09:28.980 And this is, and again, when I'm talking about energy, this is the kind of low energy stuff the liberals have been posting on their own social media.

00:09:37.180 And again, social media isn't everything, but they maybe post once a day because there's nothing, there's no content.

00:09:43.560 What is Carney running on?

00:09:45.360 This is a question to ask your friends who are voting liberal.

00:09:50.180 Friends don't let friends vote liberal, at least in 2025.

00:09:52.860 Maybe in the 90s it made sense.

00:09:55.280 What are they running on?

00:09:56.820 I don't know.

00:09:58.240 Like, maybe I'll bring up their polls in a bit, you know, not polls, their platform in another video.

00:10:03.200 But I actually reject the idea that I should ever have to look at your platform to know what you're running on.

00:10:09.740 With Polyev, I can name tons of things he's running on.

00:10:12.560 Maybe some of it's a little bit vague.

00:10:14.480 It's generalities.

00:10:15.920 But the thing is, obviously, the policy needs to be detailed out when you're actually passing it.

00:10:20.300 You can't really slap down a 50-page policy on how you're going to fix the crime issue.

00:10:25.240 It's more so, like, you know, mandatory minimums, more money for police, cut DEI spending in police,

00:10:31.400 get rid of, like, low sentencing laws for certain groups or whatever.

00:10:35.540 Oh, you're indigenous, so you're not going to get charged for this crime, 1.00

00:10:38.160 or you're going to have a lighter sentence.

00:10:39.700 That stuff obviously needs to go.

00:10:41.420 I can't name, though.

00:10:42.900 What's the liberals' policy on crime?

00:10:44.800 I don't know.

00:10:46.180 Like, tax policy, they're going to lower taxes 1%.

00:10:48.380 Not awful.

00:10:50.140 Not terrible.

00:10:51.420 Although it's literally half as much taxes as the conservatives will cut.

00:10:55.240 Conservatives will also cut the industrial carbon tax.

00:10:57.460 Liberals technically got rid of the consumer carbon tax,

00:11:01.120 but they're then just pushing the cost to the industrial side,

00:11:03.800 which means that you all pay the exact same amount of money,

00:11:06.120 but also the rebate goes away, so you don't even get part of your money back anymore.

00:11:09.800 This is the exact sleight of hand that BC NDP Premier David Eby is actually performing.

00:11:15.340 He's going to get rid of his own consumer carbon tax on April 1st.

00:11:18.620 At the same time, as independent MLA Jordan Keeley had pointed out to me,

00:11:24.200 that they're also raising hydro rates substantially in the near future right afterwards,

00:11:29.300 as well as increasing the industrial carbon tax, so the taxes aren't changing.

00:11:34.300 But again, that's taxes.

00:11:35.720 I don't know what the liberals' defense policy is.

00:11:38.160 I don't know what their trade policy is.

00:11:41.260 I don't know what their social policy is.

00:11:43.660 It's obnoxiously progressive is basically it, but still,

00:11:48.020 they've not detailed a single thing out.

00:11:49.520 Where are the conservatives?

00:11:50.260 I could name three or four things in every category.

00:11:53.200 And it's not just like, oh, you follow the conservatives wide.

00:11:55.660 Of course you know what they're running on.

00:11:57.440 I know what the NDP is running on. 0.96

00:11:59.600 I can tell you all their dumb policies on wanting to basically expand pharmacare and dental care, 0.94

00:12:06.100 that they want to crack down on price gouging. 0.95

00:12:09.040 They want to basically have some sort of like,

00:12:11.400 they're running on a lot of worker benefit programs,

00:12:15.100 wanting like higher taxes on millionaires and billionaires or whatever Bernie Sanders is running around saying in the U.S. right now,

00:12:23.200 so that they can then transfer the money to affected workers in a trade war.

00:12:26.440 They are the trade war maximalists.

00:12:28.900 They want an actual trade war with the U.S., regardless of what Trump wants.

00:12:34.080 So I could actually name things about them.

00:12:35.840 They actually want to cut the military budget, by the way, to fund social programs.

00:12:40.240 That's where they're at.

00:12:41.640 And so with the liberals, though, to finally cut to this, it's like,

00:12:46.600 President Trump wants to break us so America can own us.

00:12:50.100 We will not let that happen.

00:12:52.180 And then there's a Globe and Mail headline.

00:12:53.840 And the Globe and Mail, my goodness, they've been carrying water for the liberals in this election.

00:12:57.760 My mom has been pointing out to me every time she swipes left on her phone to see what the headlines are.

00:13:02.940 It's gushing headlines about Carney or just positive stuff.

00:13:07.760 And then it's always negative implications about Polyev or it's downplaying anything he promises or it's attacking him for his association with, like, Daniel Smith or something, who's not wrong about wanting to delay tariffs. 0.96

00:13:21.480 That was the dumbest story ever.

00:13:23.360 People are attacking Smith because she suggested to Trump, hey, how about we hold off on tariffs until we get through this election? 0.94

00:13:30.080 Because naturally you don't have anyone to negotiate with, which is what Trump figured out when he talked to Carney and Carney basically had to admit he has no power.

00:13:36.480 So, yeah, but it's just like Carney calls Trump tariffs on vehicles a direct attack on candidates, auto workers.

00:13:44.620 The auto workers themselves, by the way, I'm going to bring this up on screen.

00:13:48.520 The auto worker unions or auto companies are saying, please don't do any retaliatory tariffs. 0.98

00:13:54.480 This is very dumb. 0.84

00:13:55.740 We don't want this because you put us at risk of actually losing more ground. 0.98

00:14:01.020 We actually don't want to get this into a hot war right away.

00:14:03.760 So this is posted by the this is posted by the food professor.

00:14:09.300 He does great work when it comes to economic policy.

00:14:11.980 He says Canadian automakers advise Carney against immediate retaliation on U.S. vehicle tariffs.

00:14:18.200 Sound advice for us all agreed because it pushes back the win win scenario we can achieve if we just start throwing up retaliatory tariffs because now we are back in trench warfare and nobody wants to admit that they went too fast.

00:14:32.060 So one side, especially the side who cannot fight and win a trade war, should be the one saying, OK, no, well, well, we're not going to tariff you, but let's sit down and talk.

00:14:41.840 And Carney doesn't want to do that.

00:14:43.760 He wants to fight because it's the only way he's going to win any votes.

00:14:47.000 But yeah, and he made this absurd comment the other day where he said that, like, our relationship with the U.S. is over.

00:14:54.500 Carney is resisting the win win scenario so hard.

00:15:00.720 And this is going to result in a win for the for Trump in the U.S.

00:15:04.660 And a lose for Canada by talking like this, because he is climbing very high up on a ladder that he cannot climb down from.

00:15:11.140 The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over.

00:15:22.840 Why did we Canada has some of the most tariffs on imports of any country?

00:15:28.000 Why were we in the right for having dairy, cheese, softwood, lumber tariffs?

00:15:34.140 We've had tariffs. We've had other tariffs on other agricultural supplies, other manufactured goods.

00:15:39.720 We have tons of tariffs. Why were we right for it and the U.S. wasn't right for it?

00:15:44.600 By the way, both are wrong. Both are wrong and we should get rid of it all.

00:15:49.600 But the thing is that he looks like a hypocrite. And guess what? 1.00

00:15:52.540 Trump can pull the rug out from under the sky at any moment because he can just come out and say, here's all the tariffs that you guys have on us.

00:15:59.680 Get rid of them. If you want ours gone, you had to get rid of yours. 0.54

00:16:02.320 And that's actually probably the right move, is that both countries should have freer markets.

00:16:08.160 But exactly what the United States does next is unclear.

00:16:12.540 But what is clear, what is clear is that we as Canadians have agency.

00:16:19.160 We have power.

00:16:21.520 We are masters in our own home who submit shame.

00:16:27.500 We can control our destiny.

00:16:31.020 We can give ourselves much more than any foreign government, including the United States, can ever take away.

00:16:39.600 Do you notice that he said the same thing for literally 25 seconds straight?

00:16:44.680 We're in control.

00:16:45.680 We can do stuff.

00:16:46.680 We have agency, which just means that we can control stuff.

00:16:49.440 We can control.

00:16:51.000 Masters are in our own house. 0.86

00:16:53.760 You know.

00:16:56.020 We're the kings of the sea.

00:16:57.780 You know.

00:16:59.100 What is this?

00:16:59.960 Like, we keep saying the same thing over and over again.

00:17:02.760 Because he has nothing.

00:17:05.540 We can deal with this crisis best by building our strength right here at home.

00:17:10.540 That doesn't mean anything.

00:17:12.380 Is he going to cut taxes substantially?

00:17:14.180 No.

00:17:14.860 1% tax cut for income levels.

00:17:17.620 And I believe it's only a 1% tax cut for like under $50,000 a year.

00:17:21.400 It will take hard work.

00:17:24.320 It will take steady and focused determination from governments, from businesses, from labor, from Canadians.

00:17:32.500 We will need to dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States.

00:17:37.000 We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere.

00:17:40.020 And we will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven't seen in generations.

00:17:47.460 My goodness.

00:17:48.700 Ben Stein missed the greatest opportunity to be the right age to play Mark Carney on SNL.

00:17:56.920 He just sounds like Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

00:18:03.080 He just walks out to every podium and just says, elbows up.

00:18:10.020 Elbows up.

00:18:14.060 We're masters in our own house.

00:18:17.980 Bueller.

00:18:19.080 And that's it.

00:18:20.540 This guy cannot negotiate with Trump, who has been doing hot-blooded real estate deals in New York City since he was like in his early 30s.

00:18:30.160 And this guy is going to negotiate with him, a man who messed up the UK's finances for like two decades.

00:18:39.560 But anyways, who am I to judge?

00:18:42.140 So that should be it for me today, guys.

00:18:44.600 Or not today.

00:18:45.440 That should be it for this video.

00:18:46.660 I'm going to be up with something a little bit later today regarding the specific issues with Trump.

00:18:51.240 But that is a different issue for a different video because I really do want to dig down into the psychology of liberals that whenever Trump obviously wants to negotiate with Carney because he's weak, they say that that's to help up Polyev.

00:19:04.300 But if Trump has said anything nice about Polyev or even one of his advisors has ever said something nice about Polyev, that's because he wants Polyev to win.

00:19:13.240 Literally, it is a conspiracy theory where they believe anything Trump says means he wants Polyev to win, which is insane.

00:19:20.780 And it just demonstrates that they are coping hard with the fact that they actually don't have a narrative for this entire election.

00:19:26.960 They're not the anti-Trump guys.

00:19:28.240 They're, in fact, the people that Trump wants to negotiate with.

00:19:31.940 So anyways, that's it for me today, guys.

00:19:34.020 Make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, do all that great stuff, and I'll see you later.
