Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. So Pierre Polyev just did a press conference in the city of Calgary
00:00:06.760
looking forward to the fall session in Parliament and trying to push the Liberals to actually get
00:00:13.620
rid of a bunch of their anti-energy policies to put their money where their mouths are when it
00:00:18.860
comes to their supposed agenda to get major projects built. Now there are rumors flowing
00:00:25.780
around that Mark Carney and his Liberal government may actually attempt to hammer at least one
00:00:31.480
pipeline through during their four-year term. Now the problem is is that at the same time they may
00:00:38.220
put forward a pipeline project if it gets bogged down in Indigenous consultations which they say
00:00:43.820
they will fully comply with and if they give provinces vetoes. While they may actually get a
00:00:49.220
pipeline done it may be very late into the term and now we have the Conservatives and Polyev saying
00:00:56.920
well if you actually care about getting a pipeline done you will get rid of Bill C-48, you will get
00:01:02.440
get rid of Bill C-69 and you will eliminate a lot of these other poor regulations that are hurting
00:01:08.380
Canada's economy at a time when we're supposed to be elbows up and in crisis management mode
00:01:13.540
trying to make our economy as powerful as possible. I would also want to throw into the motion we're
00:01:18.620
about to talk about today that the Conservatives should be demanding and across the board at least
00:01:23.920
10% cut in taxes because as much as people want to blame Trump and the Americans for our current
00:01:30.980
economic crisis because of the tariffs it is a drop in the bucket compared to our own bad policies
00:01:37.900
on a federal and provincial level. But before I get into it guys I just want to remind you hey if you
00:01:43.800
like the show make sure to leave a like leave a comment if you can as well subscribe if you're
00:01:48.760
not yet a subscriber and because the video today takes place in the city of Calgary where uh where
00:01:55.000
Pierre Polyev is standing alongside Signal Hill MP David McKenzie and Calgary Centre MP Greg McLean I do
00:02:02.700
just quickly want to plug if you live in the city of Calgary please consider voting for Sonia Sharp for
00:02:09.160
Mayor I am not on her campaign as much as I just really like the general ideas that she has including
00:02:15.160
some of my own ideas that they've adopted which is great so if you live in Calgary I would suggest
00:02:20.600
get a law and sign it will be linked in the description below as well as pinned at the top of
00:02:25.240
the comments. Now without further ado here is Pierre Polyev calling on the Liberals to vote with this
00:02:31.640
Conservative motion and pass legislation in line with it.
00:02:35.160
We will do action immediately. In this fall we will introduce a motion calling on the government
00:02:39.240
to put forward this legislation. The Sovereignty Act will legalize pipeline and other major projects
00:02:45.240
by repealing the Anti-Development Law C-69. It will legalize shipping Canadian energy off the northwest
00:02:51.880
coast of BC by repealing C-48. It will axe the industrial carbon tax something the Europeans are doing and
00:03:00.360
given that our competitors in America have no industrial carbon tax it is untenable to force
00:03:06.360
our people and our industries to pay this tax. Oh and by the way too this is something I've actually been
00:03:12.040
missing in other videos talking about the tariff situation and I think by the way there's a Pat Kelly
00:03:17.080
also standing behind Pierre Polyev at this press conference but the Carney government was also running on and had
00:03:24.360
mentioned even after the election that they will put in place a carbon border adjustment which is a
00:03:31.320
carbon tax on any countries that don't have an industrial carbon tax so if they try and import
00:03:37.720
their goods or export into Canada those goods must pay an industrial carbon tax equivalent to what a
00:03:44.680
similar Canadian company pays which should raise the question why don't we just get rid of all the carbon
00:03:49.560
taxes and we can all just have cheaper goods you know sounds great to me rather than having this
00:03:55.000
stupid carbon border adjustment which costs money to implement and then it costs money on the actual
00:04:00.040
goods being imported but I'll let Polyev go on here we will get rid of the oil and gas cap that kills jobs
00:04:06.120
we will get rid of the ban on plastics the the petrochemical industry that produces our plastics
00:04:12.360
the plastics themselves are essential and so are the jobs that go along with it this by the way this
00:04:17.560
plastics ban is not about you know it's just saving your straw it's about saving you about five four
00:04:23.880
or five hundred dollars a year in food that would otherwise go bad because it would not have plastic
00:04:29.000
to preserve it and we have a wonderful Alberta-based petrochemical sector that contributes to plastics
00:04:34.920
that we need to protect we'll get rid of liberal censorship laws that prevent our energy companies from
00:04:39.720
talking about their incredible achievements and their environmental stewardship we will legalize
00:04:46.280
into the future your right to drive a gas or diesel powered truck or car by repealing the liberal ev
00:04:52.760
mandate now I know this act I I know what Polyev is doing here and part of it does come across
00:05:01.080
as a little odd but I actually think it's kind of smart he's just kind of repackaging every single
00:05:05.880
conservative party election promise and then putting it forward in a motion you know getting rid of the
00:05:10.040
EV mandate getting rid of the ban on plastic straws and other single-use plastics a lot of things that
00:05:17.000
yes this is a motion ostensibly about the energy industry but he can kind of repackage a lot of
00:05:23.080
his election promises into this motion as being connected to the petrochemical you know energy
00:05:28.840
industry oil and gas and the funniest one there is the censorship laws which is basically saying hey get
00:05:35.000
rid of bill c18 and some of the other laws that make it difficult to actually post news online
00:05:41.080
anyways so I will let this keep going and then we can discuss a little bit more of it and maybe some
00:05:46.040
of the questions that were also asked at this press conference that all of this will be in one bill
00:05:51.080
next we're going to reward those who build we'll get rid of the capital gains tax when you reinvest your
00:05:56.760
proceeds here in Canada this will cause a boom in Canadian investment here in Canada we get about half the
00:06:03.960
investment per worker as they do in the United States of America we get about 14 15 grand of
00:06:09.480
investment per worker in Canada in the states it's 28 grand both measured in US dollars but no wonder
00:06:15.960
that the American economy is leaving us behind we need to reward investment by letting people who sell
00:06:21.400
one asset and reinvest the money in Canada do so without cap capital gains tax we will give free trade
00:06:27.480
bonuses to the provinces paying them the economic benefit that results from them opening their markets to
00:06:33.560
fellow Canadians we'll protect innovation by requiring in this law that the minister do a review and prevent
00:06:39.640
present a plan to stop the the mass sell-off of Canadian inventions discoveries and innovations we pay
00:06:47.400
for all these incredible technological breakthroughs in Canada often with tax dollars that subsidize it
00:06:52.600
at university research and elsewhere and then it's sold off to the Americans and we become dependent
00:06:59.560
on them for the technology that we are ourselves in invented finally outside of the bill we are
00:07:06.760
making a call to action today conservatives are calling on prime minister cardi to have pipeline
00:07:12.760
construction underway for at least two projects and to have at least one new natural gas liquefaction
00:07:21.480
project no okay i love this because again there is a rumor going around that cardi and the liberals may
00:07:27.960
try and hammer through one pipeline so rhetorically what the conservatives are doing here they're
00:07:32.360
saying put your money where your mouth is vote for this motion that would actually give teeth to your
00:07:38.040
supposed support for the oil and gas industry for the petrochemical industry just for the Canadian
00:07:43.720
economy in general pass this motion also do two pipelines so they only do one especially if they do a
00:07:50.200
very minor one like going to hudson's bay uh in manitoba that's the thing is i will like it if we
00:07:57.400
get any pipelines and i'm not going to see if mark carney actually pushes for the pipeline you won't see
00:08:02.600
me on the show next day say oh this actually sucks for this reason i'll be like good that's great now let's
00:08:08.360
also do more because i hope that we're not just going to do one pipeline that will be done in three years
00:08:14.200
or might take even longer than that in which our economy may have grown past the point that it's
00:08:18.600
it's even that substantial of an impact it's still good i want as many projects done but rhetorically
00:08:24.440
from a pure political rhetorical side the conservatives are actually doing something
00:08:28.920
very intelligent here by putting forcing the liberals to actually you know do more than they
00:08:35.320
may be willing to do forcing them to actually want to you know force them to actually become conservative
00:08:42.280
with their uh you know with their commitments on um on oil and gas um i want to now highlight this
00:08:49.400
question i believe it was actually asked by kian bexty but i'm using the clipping that the western
00:08:53.960
standard used and it's on migration it's just a good one to throw in here since we are already
00:08:58.760
talking about the press conference but he has asked a question about migration immigration and how many
00:09:05.240
people should be leaving the country it seems like the entire western world including the liberals have
00:09:10.200
realized that out of control immigration is a problem but canada is the only country without
00:09:14.120
a solution to fix it and you don't have sovereignty without control of the borders so i'm wondering
00:09:18.680
what your plan is to fix it and get illegal migrants out of this country thank you well for anyone who
00:09:25.560
uh anyone who has been deemed inadmissible needs to leave and they need to be deported anyone who has
00:09:32.680
commits a crime while they're in canada they need to be immediately detained and when their detention is
00:09:37.880
complete they need to be deported from the country we need to track down the roughly 600 criminals that
00:09:43.720
the liberals have lost track of uh that that means using uh our all our security agencies to find out
00:09:50.120
where they are to locate them arrest them put them on planes get them out of canada um we need to make
00:09:56.040
it clear that anyone who commits a hate crime or a violent uh an act of violence against an identifiable
00:10:01.720
group should be uh that is not a citizen and not a permanent resident needs to be deported from this country
00:10:08.680
we need to get rid of the incentives for people to come here that are not real refugees so we we need
00:10:17.800
a review of all the benefits that go to people who come um as asylum claimants to make sure they're not getting
00:10:25.000
more benefits than canadian taxpayers get and currently that is true if you end up coming to
00:10:31.240
canada as a refugee claimant many people who it takes a while to even really see whether or not
00:10:37.720
they have a real claim you get the most ridiculous sorts of claims for people saying that they must stay
00:10:43.000
in canada this is something i actually was uh informed about at a recent conference i attended in
00:10:49.720
toronto about extremism it had a lot of members of the indian and jewish community there and the
00:10:55.080
funny thing is that people wrongly associate in indo-canadians as being very pro-immigration it
00:11:00.360
was a hyper anti-immigration crowd and one of the things everyone was laughing about is this phenomenon
00:11:06.600
of being suddenly gay as soon as you show up to canada you come from pakistan you come from india
00:11:12.120
bangladesh the middle east and you are suddenly gay and now you cannot go home some of these people are
00:11:18.360
married and it's not to somebody of their of their same sex uh but they're suddenly gay and they
00:11:23.880
cannot go home for that reason and it's just a nonsensical way of at least being able to draw
00:11:29.560
out the legal process so you can stay here for longer simply because you want a job or you don't
00:11:35.080
maybe don't even want a job you want the 200 a day that's given to refugees in order to stay in hotels
00:11:41.160
and buy food and whatnot the whole system is completely absurd and it absolutely needs reforming
00:11:46.520
and those that arrive last should be true their cases should be treated first so that they know
00:11:53.000
that they'll be leaving quickly that they'll get the message back to the country of origin
00:11:56.840
that if you come to canada and you're not a real refugee your case will be heard in a few weeks and
00:12:01.080
you'll be back in your own country that would right now there's a there's the opposite incentive
00:12:05.480
people who are not real refugees come to canada and they say well even if i'm rejected i'll have
00:12:11.880
seven or eight years of appeal during which time they get all kinds of benefits we was very clear
00:12:16.680
that their benefits wouldn't be there that they would have would be sent back within a couple of
00:12:22.120
weeks they wouldn't come in the first place we need to secure our borders to stop the crossings
00:12:27.640
and more broadly on immigration we need to bring way down the numbers of international students of
00:12:33.400
temporary foreign workers that are flooding our markets with low wage labor the big corporations love
00:12:40.120
it because they can drive down wages for canadian youth who are facing unprecedented unemployment
00:12:45.720
the thing is that it's not it's not like the tfws make a minimum and it forces other people to also
00:12:50.600
make minimum when maybe you could have argued give me 18 an hour you need me and now you're only
00:12:55.400
making 15 in you know in my province of alberta the minimum is 15 it's worse than that because
00:13:01.240
the government i'm not sure if it's through direct payments or it's through a tax incentive but
00:13:06.920
companies will hire tfws because you get 350 off of their pay the government comps you three dollars
00:13:14.200
and fifty cents per hour of their pay so you could even pay that person 17 an hour and you're actually
00:13:19.720
still paying them below minimum based on the tax incentives and you always hear these excuses
00:13:24.680
well it actually costs more to get these people and i have to pay for their flights and their
00:13:29.160
accommodations and what like no you don't it's always this nonsense where it's like oh it actually
00:13:33.400
cost me 10 million dollars to hire this tfw really you're getting these frankly lower quality
00:13:39.560
employees that cost you more money just out of the kindness of your own heart you just really liked
00:13:43.880
them you really liked their profile that they sent you so you're gonna hire them like no it's because
00:13:48.280
they cost less i not to be rude try and avoid companies trying to avoid uh and it's not it's not
00:13:54.600
like you avoid tim hortons you have to like avoid that tim hortons or that mcdonald's or that
00:13:59.160
grocery store i avoid places where you can kind of tell most of the staff have become tfws
00:14:04.680
and it's not because oh my goodness tfws i want to go there that's part of it because i know that
00:14:09.240
there's probably a bunch of canadian youth who could have been working these jobs who are now
00:14:12.920
unemployed but also the service quality is objectively worse take me and throw me into
00:14:18.760
another country where i don't speak the language at all or very well and yes i will give lower quality
00:14:24.600
service than the people there throw me into south korea i will do worse service than a south korean
00:14:31.000
employee because i do not speak korean you know it's not that hard to figure out but i'm very happy
00:14:36.280
with the stance he's taking i'd like to just highlight the fact that where was this pierre
00:14:41.880
during the federal election he didn't necessarily do a bad campaign i thought he had good charisma as
00:14:47.800
always he's engaging but everything started becoming very samey and he could say it's during the
00:14:52.520
federal election you got to stay on message but the message became watery and i think that was the
00:14:57.720
touch of people like jenny burn on the campaign who i have no clue why she is still employed she went
00:15:03.560
on a podcast recently to say you know people are so mean to me in the in the aftermath the election
00:15:09.000
they're blaming me for things it's like wow they're blaming you for things whoa i can't believe they
00:15:15.320
would blame you the national campaign director for the faults of the national campaign for telling
00:15:22.360
mp candidates not to attend local debates or meet with community leaders or even saying they can't
00:15:27.560
even lead the boundaries of their riding because you don't trust them to go and help out another
00:15:31.240
candidate it was stupid and the thing is what i always find happens with campaigns leaders who are
00:15:36.680
actually quite good i actually think that andrew shear could have made a great prime minister he was
00:15:41.720
a good conservative party leader but during the campaign you will notice that he became nervous
00:15:46.920
he didn't answer questions straight he ran on a very boring campaign of hey if you install you know
00:15:53.320
you know uh you know green light bulbs in your house leds will give you a tax incentive it was very
00:15:59.000
like what is this this doesn't feel like something the conservatives should be running on it became
00:16:04.120
weak and it's because your advisors advisors and your managers get in your year and they pester you
00:16:09.000
all day don't say this don't do that only say this and eventually even if you believe that you're
00:16:14.440
right when you're in a room of eight people and they're all saying you're wrong because they all
00:16:19.000
come from the school of campaigns where you risk manage only basically just don't offend anybody
00:16:25.480
just say things that are generic when all those people are telling you that you're wrong and you want
00:16:29.800
to go for it eventually you'll if you don't you know even the strongest person will eventually
00:16:34.360
doubt if they're right or not and moderate in ways that they shouldn't moderate so i'm loving that
00:16:39.160
poly of post-election is going harder on these issues if he wants to stay as a conservative
00:16:44.040
party leader and succeed with a large amount of the vote in the leadership review in january that's
00:16:49.080
taking place in calgary i encourage you all by the way if you can become the delegate for your federal
00:16:54.600
riding and show up i the he's going to succeed he has to get harder on these issues and not sort of
00:17:02.360
run away and nothing was running away but there was just silence on certain things the immigration
00:17:07.080
policy he ran on in the 2025 election was mild i even said it at the time you've got to be running
00:17:14.280
on reducing immigration tfws and foreign workers by 80 percent you don't run on just reducing it by
00:17:19.800
another 100 000 which still lands us above a quarter million a year but anyways i'll let him finish up
00:17:26.360
here um the temporary foreign worker program was not meant to drive down wages it was meant to fill
00:17:32.040
jobs that canadians could not or would not do particularly in agriculture now it's just become
00:17:38.680
a full purpose thing that you know starbucks or anyone else can use to drive wages down if they're
00:17:44.520
having a hard time getting canadian youth working what they need to do is raise wages so we need to
00:17:49.320
cut back on the temporary foreign worker program i would say that paired up with getting rid of the tfw
00:17:55.000
program although this is my prescription for everything reduce taxes take corporate taxes and reduce them
00:18:00.840
15 and i think companies would be more happy to actually hire people this is how cowed canadian
00:18:08.200
corporations have become you would assume their lobbyists and their people every day would just
00:18:12.520
be slamming on the desks in the prime minister's office and the finance minister's office saying
00:18:16.760
lower our corporate taxes these things are murdering us please lower our taxes lower the
00:18:21.640
regulations instead they like beg for more tfws it's like guys i know that you're more likely to get
00:18:28.760
somewhere with demanding more tfws but grow a backbone demand to actually be able to keep more
00:18:34.840
of your own money you know saying well i'm growing canada's economy and you're taxing me like 40 of
00:18:39.880
my companies uh i don't think it's that high but it's like 28 of my company's revenue in federal and
00:18:44.600
provincial corporate tax a year and then i pay massive personal income taxes you should be slamming the
00:18:50.920
government every single day in press releases that these guys are saying elbows up and we're in an
00:18:55.240
economic crisis but they won't cut our taxes do that stop being pathetic stop demanding tfws i
00:19:02.200
know tfws with farm work and certain things make sense but in most areas you can find someone to
00:19:08.040
work at a tim hortons find that we should be doing like job drives we should be trying to get kids jobs
00:19:14.040
and like schools barely even do it anymore because there isn't jobs doug ford that not conservative guy
00:19:21.160
out in ontario was proposing taking all the refugees and then throwing them into the job
00:19:25.080
market he already has a 7.7 percent unemployment rate what is this the great depression and he
00:19:30.520
wants to add another hundred thousand job seekers to the market my goodness but anyways now i will
00:19:37.480
truly let paulio finish up here and that will probably be it for us and finally the overall number
00:19:42.040
needs to go down over the next several years we actually need more people leaving than coming that's
00:19:46.280
net negative migration um and um and so that's what i've said uh we've got these millions of
00:19:53.160
people whose visas are going to come up when they're when their visas run out they're not eligible to
00:19:58.680
stay they need to be told to leave and if they don't leave then obviously they need to be deported and see
00:20:06.280
excellent that is a great policy and it's one that you can hammer the liberals for every single day
00:20:12.120
because they are going to be too scared of appearing like the trump administration having people
00:20:17.000
be physically removed from the country so they're just going to let millions of people get away with
00:20:21.240
still being here without the proper documentation with over state visas so that's a great policy it's
00:20:28.840
part of what i've been advocating for that the conservatives to beat the liberals because
00:20:33.640
as bad as carney is going to be on several issue fronts although he may try and get a pipeline
00:20:39.480
through to try and silence the criticism on that front as bad as carney can be on certain areas
00:20:45.400
of policy the problem with going up against mark carney and the liberals is that he can't be labeled as
00:20:52.280
easily as justin trudeau was the advantage we have is fourth term a lot of people are tired of
00:20:58.200
the liberals no matter who's leading but trudeau was bombastically crappy at his job he was somebody
00:21:04.440
who would ballyhoo every failure he had and poke you in the eye with it carney is so soft-spoken and
00:21:11.560
so kind of boring that when people look at him you're like well he must be doing a good job if you
00:21:17.640
have someone in your office who kind of keeps themselves is not a big personality and you just
00:21:22.360
you just see them going to their office and you know coming out and having lunch with you and then
00:21:26.200
you don't see them until when they're going home from you would probably just assume they're doing
00:21:30.280
their job based on personality alone that guy probably is productive or he's doing at least
00:21:35.160
a good job carney for a lot of voters is going to come off as competent even as he is incompetent
00:21:42.120
he is going he just had he's not justin trudeau was spectacular and when i say spectacular i mean that
00:21:49.160
he was a spectacular fail failure if justin trudeau was ever like let's pretend if trudeau was conservative
00:21:55.160
he would be a spectacular conservative because he's just a big character carney is not a character
00:22:01.880
and so when he fails it's not going to be a spectacular failure it's going to be one of those
00:22:06.280
things where an accountant and a lawyer is going to have to like basically walk you through why what
00:22:12.040
he did was so stupid and so that is actually kind of one of those rhetorical issues with the liberals
00:22:17.560
and i think uh polyev and the conservatives have a good angle on trying to continuously force them to do
00:22:24.280
more force them to put their money where their mouths are force them to do more than they are
00:22:28.600
comfortable with doing in order to prove that these are still mostly the liberals that you remember with
00:22:33.960
justin trudeau anyways well that should be it for me today guys again a reminder if you live in the
00:22:40.760
city of calgary description below as well as the comments there's going to be a link to go get a
00:22:45.480
sonia sharp for mayor sign eventually i will be doing a breakdown of all the people running for mayor in
00:22:51.080
the city of calgary there are a lot of candidates and there's a lot and they all pretend to be
00:22:56.440
conservative literally every single year a great example is brian teason running as the mayoral candidate
00:23:03.000
for the municipal calgary party he is a hard leftist except he still talks about fiscal responsibility
00:23:11.560
living within our means in all his literature and advertisements because it doesn't do all that well
00:23:16.520
to say that you're going to raise people's taxes is he going to raise people's taxes ten thousand
00:23:20.520
percent he's going to raise people's taxes he is the progressive union party front group guy
00:23:26.680
and then you have other people like jeff davison running as a common sense conservative when if you
00:23:33.400
actually look at by the way the common sense calgary page on the three counselors who are running for
00:23:38.440
mayor in 2021 that was gondek farkas and and davison davison voted way more often with gondek than he
00:23:45.480
ever voted for uh with farkas back when farkas was still a conservative apparently jeremy farkas
00:23:52.760
got into a massive progressive car accident and his brain has never been the same since he's gone from
00:23:58.600
being a very hawkish fiscal conservative to being like a big social progressive and this like fiscal in
00:24:06.120
the middle mushy moderate and davison had a terrible hooding record and now he's saying guys i am your
00:24:12.120
conservative option it's like you voted for every tax increase you voted to defund the police and i'm
00:24:17.480
going to have people like ward sutherland come out of the woodwork and say no he didn't defund the
00:24:21.560
police the police told him to do that well apparently joe maglioca and sean chu and other
00:24:27.880
counselors didn't get the memo farkas didn't vote to defund the police why did davison oh well the police
00:24:33.240
chief told them to do that no i'm getting into a calgary rant but you know let me roll for a second
00:24:38.840
here no they didn't tell jerry they didn't tell davison to defund them they knew council was likely
00:24:46.200
to defund them and so they basically intercepted the proposal that council was going to do just to
00:24:51.640
take 10 million dollars away from the police for the next two years each year and they said how about
00:24:58.120
you force us to redirect 20 million over the next two years into social programs but we still get to
00:25:04.360
control the funding that wasn't the police asking council to defund them that was the police suspecting
00:25:10.440
that there are people like jeff davison who will vote to defund them and giving them a slightly
00:25:15.160
milder proposal that will protect the police's budget by at least allowing them to retain that money
00:25:20.600
even if they can't use it for policing maglioca chew urquhart you know farkas i think there was another
00:25:27.560
guy they all saw through it and they didn't vote for it but apparently davison couldn't and the police
00:25:32.600
chief emailed him said please vote to defund us jeff please do it but with that being said that is
00:25:39.640
actually officially it for me today guys again like the video subscribe leave a comment do all
