The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Poilievre picks FIGHT with Carney Liberals over pipelines and immigration

00:00:00.000 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 0.61

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 0.98

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 0.90

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 0.76

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 1.00

00:09:25.560 uh anyone who has been deemed inadmissible needs to leave and they need to be deported anyone who has 0.82

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 1.00

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 0.68

00:11:12.120 bangladesh the middle east and you are suddenly gay and now you cannot go home some of these people are 1.00

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 0.84

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 1.00

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 0.78

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.72

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 0.98

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 0.73

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 1.00

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 0.94

00:20:21.240 still being here without the proper documentation with over state visas so that's a great policy it's 1.00

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

00:25:45.000 that great stuff and i'll see you guys later

00:25:56.040 you
