The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Poilievre is BEATING Carney at his own game!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.240 We have a very interesting dynamic developing in federal politics right now between Prime

00:00:12.280 Minister Mark Carney and Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev. I've said it in previous

00:00:17.660 videos, the Liberal Party is definitely leading the polls right now. I do not trust the ones

00:00:23.400 that are saying the Liberals are leading by 15 points, those are absurd. The Liberals

00:00:27.540 are probably leading by five to seven points right now. But although Carney currently has a lead and

00:00:34.160 he's just called three by-elections that he is most likely going to win two out of three of with

00:00:40.180 terrible and likely going to the Bloc Quebecois, although Carney should be comfortable in his

00:00:45.240 polling position right now, you can tell that he is very much looking over his shoulder quite a bit

00:00:51.440 right now at Polyev, knowing that Polyev very much has the ability to claw his way back into

00:00:58.000 the game and even outflank Carney on some of Carney's strongest issues. I'm not trying to

00:01:03.920 repeat myself too much between videos, but Carney, from a purely political perspective,

00:01:09.720 has been doing a good job on the issue of US-Canada trade. Now, on the policy level,

00:01:15.840 is he actually doing good things for Canada? No, not at all. He is not getting a trade deal

00:01:21.240 side. In fact, he's basically only pretending he still wants to do it because he knows that in a

00:01:26.800 lot of ways he can exploit the situation for votes by constantly getting into little tiffs with

00:01:31.580 Donald Trump and going into elbows up mode whenever there may be an election. But he knows now that

00:01:37.980 because Polyev has resorted out his position on trade, now he's kind of making Carney look

00:01:43.660 flat-footed. Previously, the conservatives were only naysaying the liberals, saying they're not

00:01:48.660 get anything done, there's no accomplishments, without kind of at least miming the things that

00:01:54.440 they want done in government. That is what I think that Polyev is doing quite well right now,

00:01:59.500 and in fact he's doing, he's pivoted on trade in such a way he's basically beating Carney at his

00:02:05.240 own game. While I don't like the world tour of Mark Carney so far, because it's mainly gotten

00:02:11.620 nothing done, I'm perfectly fine with Polyev copying Carney, basically just to show that,

00:02:17.360 yes, I can do what Carney's doing and do it better than him. If Polyev was the Prime Minister,

00:02:23.440 I wouldn't actually advise him to go traveling the world. Really, I would just stick to domestic 0.85

00:02:27.440 policy, lowering taxes and lowering regulations. But for the politics of the moment, it is good

00:02:33.900 for Polyev to counter the politics of Carney on trade by copying the dumb things Carney is doing, 0.92

00:02:40.400 but doing it better than him. That's the kind of strange position that we're in.

00:02:44.660 And I'm not even talking about policy right now.

00:02:46.840 I'm just talking about pure, sweaty, desperate, electoral political considerations.

00:02:54.060 Aliev is making Carney kind of look befuddled with his more dynamic world tour he's on.

00:02:59.720 So I want to get into this in just a second here.

00:03:01.840 But before we start talking about Aliev's tour, I just want to remind you guys,

00:03:29.420 they're wondering where I went for two weeks even though they want to watch my videos every day for

00:04:00.020 and stealing Carney's ideas from him and doing them better. So we have right here this article

00:04:06.960 headline from the national post and it says adam pankratz hey liberals an oil pipeline would have

00:04:13.180 been it would have been good right uh right about now obviously a post for an article from the

00:04:18.380 national post making fun of the fact that the liberals keep talking about a pipeline keep

00:04:22.680 pretending they want one while never actually getting one built and having previously said

00:04:27.140 the business case wasn't there when the business case is absolutely there right now while there's

00:04:32.080 of war in the Middle East and people would be wanting more Canadian oil.

00:04:36.380 Pierre Polyev here says, liberals continue to block our oil and gas despite grand speeches

00:04:41.060 and meaningless MOUs costing us billions as oil prices rise. We don't need more optical illusions.

00:04:47.960 We need the carny liberals out of the way and off the backs of our energy sector so we can fuel our 1.00

00:04:53.220 friends abroad and power paychecks at home. Now, I don't really care about the exact rhetoric here,

00:04:59.720 But I think that Polyev is doing a far better job right now. Like January and most of February, the Conservatives felt very flat-footed. And now they are finally starting to kick into gear a little bit more and starting to actually suggest what the Liberals should be doing instead of simply saying they're not doing a good job.

00:05:20.540 Once you make a suggestion, that's something that the average Canadian voter can now say that, oh, that's that's an idea. What's Carney doing instead? That's when Carney doing nothing really hits home for people. They're like, well, Polyev has this great suggestion and Carney's doing nothing.

00:05:36.280 If Polyev is just saying he's not doing a good job, and then Carney says, but I am doing a good job,

00:05:41.460 there's nothing to evaluate Carney on because Polyev hasn't made a proposal.

00:05:45.800 But right now, Polyev is doing a very good job of sort of walking the walk of what he would want from Mark Carney.

00:05:52.260 So in this video, this header from Pierre Polyev reads,

00:05:56.860 The belly of this ship holds $250 million of LNG.

00:06:01.180 It should be Canadian. When I unblock our resources, it will be Canadian. 0.99

00:06:05.220 We're not going to watch this full video, but I think that the videos he's been putting out recently, the optics of them are starting to be right.

00:06:13.200 It's starting to show Paliyev in command.

00:06:15.840 It's showing him taking charge, going abroad and actually pointing at the ships and saying, this ship sends LNG products into this port every single day.

00:06:26.820 And why are we not the country that's actually shipping this stuff out?

00:06:30.380 and then he makes sexual policy proposal. And then it contrasts very well with Carney doing

00:06:36.140 nothing. This is the path forward. And they need to expand this outside of just the trade issue

00:06:42.460 onto other domestic policies. This should be a Canadian vessel carrying a quarter billion dollars 0.64

00:06:50.620 of Canadian energy. Instead, these are Scandinavian vessels carrying American energy.

00:06:57.060 How did we get here? First of all, I'm in North Germany in Wilhelmin, which is a major import hub for all of the European continent.

00:07:08.760 In February of 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, which woke the Europeans up that they could no longer depend on the Russians to supply them with gas.

00:07:18.800 They needed to move quickly. So within two months, the locality here granted a permit.

00:07:24.440 That's right, 60 days. The permit was granted on a Sunday and a day off because that is how urgent it was.

00:07:32.420 They then, in a total of a couple of more months, converted this existing jetty so that it could accept large quantities of natural gas,

00:07:42.380 which run from that ship through this pipe and then all the way, as you can see over there,

00:07:50.960 back to the coast where it is quality control checked and then put into the energy network

00:07:57.020 and sent all across Germany and throughout the rest of Europe,

00:08:02.060 where that energy then heats homes, powers industry.

00:08:06.540 It's used to make other petrochemical products that are necessary for a modern economy.

00:08:12.380 In the process, though, they are now buying American and Qatari gas instead of Canadian gas.

00:08:19.280 Why? Because we can't get out of our own way.

00:08:23.760 So we're not going to play any more of that.

00:08:26.640 But he is going back to the old walk and talk videos that made him famous in 2022's conservative leadership election.

00:08:34.540 It's kind of like Polyev because he was running against Justin Trudeau between 22 and 2024.

00:08:42.380 It's like, and I'm not trying to be rude, but he never actually had to be that good at his job

00:08:46.820 because it was Justin Trudeau. He sucks. You just have to not be Justin Trudeau. 1.00

00:08:51.440 And so he's beat. So after he beat Justin Trudeau and he was swapped out with Mark Carney,

00:08:57.260 the game shifted a little bit. And the current version of Pierre Polyev, who was, you know,

00:09:02.760 engineered to beat Justin Trudeau, I'm being kind of facetious when I say engineered, but

00:09:06.480 when he's engineered to beat Justin Trudeau, well, now he's beating Mark Carney, who is

00:09:10.820 a very different animal, and it actually takes Polyev going back to what he was like in 2022

00:09:16.940 and becoming the explainer king of different subjects. His documentaries he was putting out

00:09:22.780 early in 2025 were really good. He should do more of those. These walk and talk videos on tour

00:09:29.480 have been great. It makes his trips feel substantial, even though he's the opposition

00:09:35.420 leader, whereas Mark Carney's have felt thin. He's talking to world leaders, he's signing

00:09:40.040 meaningless documents. And this is where Polyev can actually make a solid criticism because he's

00:09:45.160 showing up there and he's not wasting his time because he's talking about actual issues that

00:09:49.740 matter to people. And the only conclusion at the end of the day is, I'd love to do it, but I'm the

00:09:54.680 opposition leader and Mark Carney is the prime minister, so why doesn't he do it? And then people

00:09:59.120 might actually conclude, well, maybe the conservative should be in office instead. Here's another post

00:10:04.220 from Polyev, getting a lot of juice out of Germany on this one. He says, 194 days. That's how quickly

00:10:11.660 Germany built the Wilhelmschaffen LNG import terminal start to finish. If Germany can build

00:10:18.560 that fast, why can't Canada? Let's get our energy to Wilhelmschaffen and across Europe to fuel free

00:10:25.000 nations with Canadian energy. Another post here, it says, discussed exports of Canadian energy

00:10:30.980 to Europe with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel at Hamburg's Malte Mall dinner.

00:10:40.500 Germany wants our energy. We need new markets. Our interests align. Now our actions must too.

00:10:47.600 Another one here. He says Hamburg is the third largest port in Europe.

00:10:51.340 Germans want reliable energy from allies that will power their industries and fuel their economies.

00:10:57.480 Canada's that ally.

00:10:58.360 Canada has the energy.

00:10:59.580 And then he keeps basically posting over and over again the same thing, but in a different way.

00:11:05.520 But it's making a point.

00:11:06.560 He has way more videos like this where he's basically almost going to another country and saying, hey, I can travel the world too, Carney.

00:11:14.140 They want energy.

00:11:15.600 Why didn't you talk to them about that?

00:11:16.960 Why didn't we sign something to get them LNG?

00:11:18.760 Why don't we build a new terminal to get oil and gas products out?

00:11:23.320 Why don't we build a pipeline?

00:11:24.280 We could probably do it within a year if we're really going hard at it.

00:11:27.980 If we invest more money to fast track it, we could do it.

00:11:31.080 The world is in an energy scramble.

00:11:35.100 And I'm at the hub of that scramble here in Germany.

00:11:40.540 I'm in Hamburg, which is the biggest port in the country and the third biggest in the European continent.

00:11:48.040 Behind me is the infrastructure to import oil from around the world.

00:11:52.420 this is the place where the storage tanks and the fuel depots now we don't need to go more into this

00:11:58.320 this is kind of hitting on those things you used to uh used to you saw in the last video although

00:12:02.300 the one thing i want to see i want to be derogatory he needs a tie like this i want poly

00:12:06.680 to start buying ties like this his current tie is kind of boring and kind of shiny what he needs is

00:12:12.400 more suits with a little more texture in them a little bit more color in his shirts this does

00:12:17.740 matter because optics do matter in politics his hair needs to be i'm not trying to turn him into

00:12:22.040 myself by the way that'd be scary and i and i don't think people like me that much but he needs

00:12:26.480 a little bit less grease in the hair because when you grease your hair to make it look shiny and you

00:12:32.460 slick it back and look stiff it inherently adds a greasy and stiff element to your character this

00:12:38.760 is just how stuff works never be a politician who slicks their hair back you're not a greaser in the

00:12:44.000 50s not that that's what his hair is looking like but you don't even want it approaching something

00:12:48.540 like that in any way uh i'm basically help trying to help the conservative party as much as i can

00:12:53.440 now so i'll sound like a jerk quite often here but i'm basically pure poly of his manager who's

00:12:59.860 not actually his manager i'm like his comms person his stylist and they can pretend that they don't 0.85

00:13:05.840 listen to me but they should and they can subtly implement what i'm saying and it will help them a

00:13:10.480 lot but they are doing good things on this trade issue and i want to keep highlighting that another

00:13:14.200 article from the National Post came out, and it was from John Iveson, Carney's global deals are

00:13:19.940 paper thin until we see real results. And that was responded to by Polyev, who says Prime Minister

00:13:26.300 Carney has signed no new free trade agreement since taking office, just empty and unenforceable

00:13:31.800 communiques that have no force or meaning. Time for results. And I think some sort of a time for

00:13:38.840 results type of a slogan might actually be pretty good, although I'm not the biggest fan of slogans.

00:13:43.840 That should be generally the feeling that people get from the things that Polly is putting out.

00:13:49.280 You know, ask the where is the beef question to Canadians.

00:13:53.220 Keep showing up to all the locations that Carney shows up to.

00:13:56.700 Point at the port saying, where is our energy here?

00:13:59.400 I'm over here.

00:14:00.240 They want it.

00:14:01.280 Where are you?

00:14:02.080 I just talked to the former chancellor, Angela Merkel.

00:14:04.980 I just talked to this person, that person.

00:14:06.680 I talked to this leader in the UK.

00:14:08.860 They want our stuff and you didn't give it to them.

00:14:11.360 Basically, you should almost be following Carney around.

00:14:13.840 chirping him basically showing up oh that was how carney tried to conduct himself that country

00:14:19.000 i'll show you how you actually do it i'll show a leader talking about serious issues

00:14:24.000 not just him rehashing his davos speech over and over again where he says we need to look at the

00:14:29.780 world i'm gonna get back fully on screen here for this one we need to look at the world with clear

00:14:35.380 eyes uh not as we would like it to be but as it truly is we are trying to expand our friends we

00:14:43.640 do not want to be in the great power rivalry despite the fact we're in bed with china we don't 1.00

00:14:48.340 want it at all like he is going out there and sounding like john carrey going around all these

00:14:53.460 places and talking with you know very purple language about the fact that we as a country

00:14:59.700 need to be the masters of our own house blah blah blah polioff can show up and say okay but where

00:15:05.480 is the substance for the people he needs that kind of populist language without seeming like he's a

00:15:12.180 you know a kind of twitter response guy just chirping you want him to be chirping but you

00:15:18.360 also want there to always be that policy punch this is what i would do what would you do

00:15:24.320 trying to give paul carney as much advice as possible when trading with the united states

00:15:29.380 i like poly of suggestion again it's the thing i was suggesting for a year say let's team up

00:15:35.400 against china let's rip up that agreement if we can then get a better deal with the americans

00:15:40.480 let's try it and the more that polyev suggests things that the average canadian thinks like

00:15:45.700 that's a good idea and then carney doesn't do it a lot of people are like well maybe carney's not

00:15:50.200 the business savvy man we thought he was this is also why i think that the the conservatives need

00:15:55.600 to slam carney on this insane musqueam agreement in the lower mainland of bc where they just give 0.80

00:16:02.720 the musqueam this incredibly large area where their aboriginal land title is over it aboriginal

00:16:08.980 land title shouldn't even exist. It's a made-up concept by the Supreme Court in 1997. They need

00:16:15.200 to hammer this. That is the ultimate bad agreement. Carney's a Goldman Sachs guy, and he just gave

00:16:21.600 away land title in the Lower Mainland for nothing, just to have basically more corruption, more

00:16:27.300 delays to projects. He should be slamming this issue and saying that he is basically giving away

00:16:33.320 the province of british columbia's lower mainland to a like 1400 person band who is obviously not

00:16:41.760 going to be working in the best interests of the rest of canada but here is a post from mark carney

00:16:47.220 today it says premier lance and i agree a united federation is more pro is a more prosperous one

00:16:54.100 we're working together to break down internal trade barriers build major infrastructure

00:16:58.380 that connects our economy and brings down costs for islanders and canadians okay that's great i

00:17:05.460 guess he's shaking hands with the new premier of prince edward island the video is not loading for

00:17:12.100 some reason everyone's all that happens on x where videos just never load it doesn't matter

00:17:16.840 it's like a 15 second video where there's music playing like boo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo do

00:17:21.420 and they look serious at each other they really they shake their hands and then they shake their

00:17:26.740 heads at what they just were talking about

00:17:28.600 when there wasn't any audio, or maybe if there was audio

00:17:30.700 and they were like, ooh, we're

00:17:32.540 working together to build one strong Canadian

00:17:34.620 economy. Carney is not

00:17:36.780 actually that dynamic on messaging.

00:17:38.660 He is going to keep going back to the well

00:17:40.320 on build one Canadian

00:17:42.640 economy. We need to diversify

00:17:44.580 our trade partners.

00:17:46.280 We don't want to be part

00:17:48.740 of the great power conflicts of the world.

00:17:51.600 If Poliev can 0.85

00:17:52.640 beat him on trade, if he can beat him

00:17:54.760 on this issue, it will pivot 0.99

00:17:56.500 Cardioff to all these issues that he sucks on. He sucks at foreign policy. He sucks on criminal 1.00

00:18:02.120 justice policy. He's terrible. The one he's kind of okay on is immigration, but he kind of had to 1.00

00:18:07.640 lower immigration rates because Trudeau's were so extremely high. It was one of those things.

00:18:12.020 If he didn't solve it within the first couple of months and at least half the rate of increase for

00:18:16.900 the population that we had, he was going to get slaughtered in any election that happened. Even

00:18:22.020 now, immigration is still way too high, and the conservatives are still hammering on that,

00:18:25.620 But they really need to keep pushing on this trade issue.

00:18:31.140 They need to outflank him, and it will eventually force Carney onto issues that he is not comfortable on.

00:18:37.920 Here is Polyev back in Canada hammering Carney on the fact that he has been flip-flopping hard on the Iran issue.

00:18:44.280 Because, again, Carney off of trade, off of general elbows up rhetoric, is not confident.

00:18:50.860 Support, you said explicitly it's in our interest that the regime is replaced.

00:18:54.580 will you say explicitly whether you support what the us and israel have been doing and whether you

00:18:58.180 believe that any of it is in accordance with international law we already said that we we

00:19:01.700 support the action to overturn the regime because this is a regime that has killed canadians they

00:19:07.220 killed over 100 canadians they have 700 agents on canadian streets terrorizing our persian and

00:19:13.140 jewish communities carrying out terrorist attacks against our people this is the biggest state 1.00

00:19:17.540 sponsor of terror in the world that is why we have not equivocated we also need to focus on

00:19:22.660 what we control at home what we control which is here at home to secure our borders against 0.99

00:19:28.020 these terrorists to bring down energy costs for and food prices for our people and that's what

00:19:33.460 we as conservatives are going to do here good issue for the conservatives now it's not the

00:19:37.700 biggest one it's not going to win over you know millions of voters but for persian voters for

00:19:42.980 jewish voters that one is a good one if we can get off the trade issue these small gains on issues 0.99

00:19:49.780 like the irgc and iran are going to start winning the conservatives you know the thousand votes the

00:19:56.020 500 votes they need in key ridings to be able to pull off a win now the conservatives are down

00:20:01.860 they are not down 10 points or 15 points they're probably down seven now a seven point lead for

00:20:06.740 the liberals would mean a majority government for them this is why right now the conservatives need

00:20:12.580 to focus on bold policy solutions, bold policy promises that end up reshaping the next election

00:20:22.700 around a policy referendum. Carney is too boring for anyone to ever hate him. A lot of people out

00:20:29.140 there hate him, of course, from the conservative side. The average Canadian is never going to hate

00:20:32.800 Carney the way they hated Justin Trudeau. He just has not been around long enough, and his

00:20:37.160 personality is kind of boring. So for Polyev to beat him, even not 20% like I've been proposing,

00:20:43.500 we at 1BC in British Columbia are pushing provincially for a 25% across the board cut in

00:20:48.840 taxes. Even if Polyev just runs on a 20% or a 15% across the board tax cut, including corporate and

00:20:56.300 a point off the GST, he will be doing very well in election. People can say, oh, people, tax cuts

00:21:02.240 don't motivate people. We've tried that. They always give the smallest tax cut. Last election,

00:21:07.040 did run on a 15% tax cut. But what it was, was 15%, which really resulted in like two and a quarter

00:21:14.840 points, off the lowest bracket, $50,000, which you don't even pay any tax on the first $18,000.

00:21:22.240 Something like that does not drive voters out. If it's 15% for everything, including corporate,

00:21:28.960 well, now you're actually winning some of those upper middle class voters who didn't really see

00:21:34.800 much for them in the previous tax cuts yes still running against the industrial carbon tax but you

00:21:40.420 got to run on a big tax reform run on big regulatory reform run on getting rid of ministries 0.98

00:21:47.260 in the government that make no sense get rid of all the stupid activist ministries run against 0.98

00:21:52.680 undrip and drippa in british columbia yes drippa is a bc thing but the thing is that we right now 0.99

00:22:00.740 have Mark Carney palling around with David Eby and giving away the land of British Columbia.

00:22:05.660 Big issue. If you're going to run on criminal justice policies, you've got to run on massive

00:22:10.280 increases in minimum sentences for fentanyl dealing and stuff like that. I'd almost propose

00:22:15.740 running on the run on the death penalty. It's actually popular. Have you ever seen the polling

00:22:19.840 on it? Like 65% of people would like the death penalty brought back for heinous criminals,

00:22:24.720 for the people who are committing mass murder and serial killers. Bring it back. Have a big

00:22:30.560 vision because if you don't have a big vision carney is always going to seem more inspiring

00:22:35.100 because that's the one thing he is good at empty inspiring language and people trust it because he

00:22:41.740 seems like a boring businessman so when he says that we can build one strong canadian economy and

00:22:46.640 all this stuff about elbows up against the u.s it comes off credible to the average voter if trudeau 0.56

00:22:51.960 did the same thing it wouldn't work because he was too clownish by the end of his tenure it would

00:22:56.100 seem too performative the funny thing is a Trudeau script sometimes works better for Carney than it

00:23:01.000 does for Trudeau because Carney is boring enough you're like wow he's serious about that where if

00:23:05.920 Trudeau says it you're like wow that guy's really out of his mind anyways but with all that being

00:23:11.440 said I do think Polyev is doing a good job he is beating Carney right now when it comes to the

00:23:17.380 touring he's doing a good job refocusing the touring onto the policy what is Paul is Carney

00:23:23.940 actually bringing home? Is he bringing home the bacon or is he not? Are these agreements doing

00:23:28.900 anything? Here's my proposal. That's really good, and now he has to expand it to other issues.

00:23:35.000 Carney says he's the guy who's going to help build one strong Canadian economy, and he won't even

00:23:39.880 substantially cut taxes. He keeps saying how he wants to out-compete the United States, but he's

00:23:45.080 tying the hands of Canadian businesses behind their backs because he refuses to cut taxes.

00:23:49.480 run like this and you will actually start to build a real coalition that can win you think

00:23:56.180 the south asian voters in brampton and mississauga really care about the our careful policy when it

00:24:03.040 comes to making sure that we don't have a deficit by by promising a small tax cut over here and a

00:24:08.840 small spending out here and hoping that we can balance it by by reducing some frill programs

00:24:13.780 no they just want a big tax cut i like south asian voters for that reason they just want the big tax 0.99

00:24:20.680 cut they just want big change they do not they are not progress they are not uh politically

00:24:25.960 correct voters same thing as chinese korean and japanese voters they are not at all politically

00:24:32.360 correct run on something big run on something noticeable and those people will show up stop

00:24:38.660 trying to win liberal urban white women not going after you if you're in that demographic you ain't 1.00

00:24:46.040 watching this video win all of the groups who just want everything to be different your agenda should
