The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Poilievre's approval remains positive despite Liberal win

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I came across this yesterday and I found it rather surprising.

00:00:06.880 Right now, we are undoubtedly in a honeymoon period for Mark Carney and the re-elected

00:00:13.020 liberal government. It naturally happens every time an election occurs. Whoever wins naturally

00:00:18.420 goes up in the polls. If you do a preferred prime minister poll right now, it's kind of useless

00:00:23.660 because even conservative voters will say if you ask who they prefer the prime minister to be,

00:00:28.720 they will say, well, I guess whoever won should be the prime minister. Naturally, there are partisans

00:00:34.640 who will always say that they prefer their guy be the prime minister. Like if I was to answer one of

00:00:39.260 those polls, I would say I prefer Pierre Polyev too. But people who are not big politicos will say,

00:00:44.940 well, naturally, the person who won should be the prime minister. But the thing I found shocking was

00:00:50.740 is that Pierre Polyev is actually doing pretty well right now when it comes to his individual

00:00:55.360 approval rating. Of course, Mark Carney is doing better than him, but he's the new prime minister

00:01:00.580 bringing in the king to do the throne speech, doing the G7. He just won re-election. And so

00:01:07.060 naturally, a lot of people, you know, have positive thoughts about him. Again, it always happens, you

00:01:12.000 know, to the victor goes the spoils. People like to bandwagon on and say that they approve of whoever

00:01:17.960 won because, you know, it's a little more depressing to say that we don't like the guy who won. A lot of,

00:01:22.700 you know, people who are not super politically engaged are just going to say, well, I assume

00:01:28.100 he's a good guy and doing a good job, or at least I want to tell myself that. But I want to get into

00:01:32.940 the actual numbers because it's looking decent for Pierre Polyev when usually the guy who loses the

00:01:38.920 election ends up suffering a massive popularity blow. But before I get into the numbers, guys,

00:01:45.020 just want to remind you, if you like the channel, make sure to like the video, make sure to subscribe.

00:01:48.980 If you're not yet a subscriber, we're trying to reach 100,000 subscribers by mid-December of this

00:01:54.320 year and leave a comment on what you think about the topic of the day. Now let's get into it. So

00:02:01.240 this is from Spark Insights, and I like that they have a really big sample size. This poll was

00:02:07.000 conducted back on June 9th, 2025, of course, online. And Mark Carney's current approval rating,

00:02:13.700 according to Spark Insights, is approval 67%, disapproval 33%. So at the moment, because,

00:02:21.840 again, the honeymoon effect is in play, right now only one-third of Canadians disapprove of Mark

00:02:27.440 Carney, two-thirds of people approve of him, which isn't too surprising. You're probably going to get

00:02:34.020 a lot of block voters saying they like him because, you know, they don't elect prime ministers,

00:02:38.520 so naturally they either have to like somebody from the liberals or like something from the

00:02:42.680 conservatives. They're used to saying they approve of prime ministers who aren't their guy. And then,

00:02:47.700 of course, you'll get a lot of NDP people maybe thinking, oh, I approve of him because he's not

00:02:52.020 Polyev. And then even some conservatives who are not hardcores will say, well, you know, he hasn't

00:02:57.600 messed up yet, so I suppose I approve. But this is, generally speaking, obviously, a very good poll

00:03:04.160 or Mark Carney. I believe this approval rating puts him at where Justin Trudeau was after the 2015

00:03:09.940 election. A lot of people already knew Trudeau was a clown in 2015. But again, that doesn't stop 0.84

00:03:15.820 you from people well-wishing the winner. But now let's get down to Pierre Polyev. Pierre Polyev's

00:03:22.140 positive polling is 51% positive to 49% negative. It doesn't do the approval, disapproval, because

00:03:30.860 obviously you can't approve of the job of the opposition leader as much. It's more so, do you like

00:03:36.240 him or not? And when they phrase it, do you have a positive view of him or a negative view? We have

00:03:41.480 51% of people saying they have a positive view of Pierre Polyev. Negative is 49%. Now, naturally, you want

00:03:50.680 that to be higher. But considering all the stuff he's had to experience over the last couple of months,

00:03:56.520 losing his riding, losing the election, and now being in this limbo period where he's not in the

00:04:01.300 House of Commons, the guy could be doing far, far worse than this. And these are good numbers for him

00:04:07.200 to be able to slap up on, you know, online on his website when he's moving towards the leadership

00:04:13.420 review in January 2026. I will probably be there because I live in Calgary. And of course, I'm a

00:04:20.220 Conservative member. So I'm going to try and become a delegate for it. But that's something that Polyev

00:04:24.400 is going to want to really highlight going in to that leadership review. By the way, guys,

00:04:30.140 people still generally like me, they just happen to want the Liberals a little more than Conservatives.

00:04:34.880 The way the NDP collapsed, advantage them. Although I'm, this is the positive spin of it. I obviously

00:04:41.620 would add in though, stuff in the Conservative Party still needs to be cleaned up, you know, clean up the

00:04:46.220 nomination process, clean up the appointments process, get rid of worthless people from headquarters

00:04:51.240 and actually have better individuals running that party. But yeah, but that's still all good stuff

00:04:56.780 for the Conservatives. Now, I do want to bring up something else that we saw yesterday. And that is,

00:05:04.000 again, Carney is no progressive radical the way that Justin Trudeau was. Is he still going to be

00:05:10.020 too left wing for me? Definitely 100% he's going to be not to my liking. But this is where the

00:05:17.020 Conservatives have to be careful. Because Carney is not going to explode on the tarmac the way Justin

00:05:23.300 Trudeau did on many issues. He's kind of boring, which means that he's never going to throw his

00:05:28.740 face in front of the camera and champion hyper progressive causes. But when he does, it should

00:05:34.460 be highlighted. Here is him giving this sort of pseudo speech at a Pride season event. And by the way,

00:05:41.880 right now, I'll show it to you. The Liberal Party has the whole Pride progress icon for their party

00:05:48.500 right now, because it's the month of June, apparently. But what are they Oh, sorry, I'm

00:05:53.440 covering that over. But what are they supposed to do when it stops being June? Because they're

00:05:58.380 celebrating Pride season? Are they now going to also keep it throughout throughout the entire season

00:06:04.580 all the way up till September? Because, you know, based on the rules of engagement that they've laid

00:06:10.440 out, that's what they have to do. But here is Mark Carney talking about how we need a stronger,

00:06:15.980 fairer and more inclusive Canada. I will tell you, inclusion is not the problem in Canada,

00:06:22.320 we are highly inclusive to a fault to the point where we will include people who don't like

00:06:28.220 including others. Pride is a promise. It is a promise to every young person, regardless of their

00:06:35.020 identity, that they'll be able to walk through their school doors without being afraid of whether

00:06:40.780 they can get safely through their day. Safely through their day. This is the type of rhetoric

00:06:46.460 that annoys me about stuff like Pride season and Pride month. The idea that this is like some big

00:06:53.540 ongoing civil rights fight that you go going through the like, you know, Mitt Romney is going to run

00:06:59.800 around the corner and start shaving some kid's head. And he's going to like beat up a kid for being

00:07:03.340 kid. What is this? And that's the problem is that we're in the year 2025 and we pretend we're in the

00:07:08.280 year 1825. It's a promise to every couple who wants to show affection, to be able to hold hands in

00:07:16.120 public without looking over their shoulders. It's a promise to every Canadian that they will be

00:07:21.680 respected, that their rights will be protected, that you'll be safe in your own community and proud

00:07:29.720 in your own skin. So let's, we, we have gotten well past that point. I don't think anyone feels like

00:07:37.180 they're going to be attacked or they need to look over your shoulder. Like they keep invoking that as

00:07:41.740 like a boogeyman. Like if we don't do this, we're going to have, you know, people running around the

00:07:47.300 street swinging like flails at people to like, you know, stop them from holding hands. It's like,

00:07:53.260 no, that's not going to happen. Celebrate pride today through this month, through every month, week,

00:08:01.380 day, hour of the year. Well, we had to do it every hour, minute of the year. It's dumb. And then he has

00:08:09.080 hoisting the flag aloft. Yeah, no. If anything, you've seen the parades. I can't show you the

00:08:19.820 parades or this channel. This video will not only get age restricted, my channel would get taken down

00:08:26.180 if I show you some of the things that they just allow at places like Toronto Pride and Vancouver

00:08:31.520 Pride. This is something where you will have alliances of gay people saying, please stop doing 1.00

00:08:37.300 this. It's really weird. Stop having people not wearing clothes walking down the streets. Can we

00:08:43.720 not do like parade floats where people are twerking wearing banana hammocks? Please, can we not do that?

00:08:50.880 But the thing is that we pretend like everything's we got to do this. Always the government's doing the

00:08:56.760 soft stuff and they ignore the crazy stuff where they should be fining people. But we have to do this

00:09:01.500 or else people are going to get hurt. I kid you not. Good sir. We are not going to have people being

00:09:09.780 attacked unless we do this. Now I just want to move on to one other thing in this video, and that is

00:09:15.300 immigration polling. I do not always agree with him, but I think he does a good analysis of this

00:09:22.080 because I do like when people who used to work for parties speak out about how parties need to stop being 0.96

00:09:26.960 dumb. And Anthony Kosh here says, about two years ago, I said immigration would rapidly become a top 1.00

00:09:33.220 political issue in Canada. I was called a moron by many. Welcome to 2025. I know at one point, Anthony 0.99

00:09:39.720 was working for the federal conservatives, and I know the federal conservatives can be so obtuse on the

00:09:46.360 issue of immigration. And it's because they have to stop listening to certain MPs who are immigration,

00:09:53.360 like not even hawks. They are pro-immigration, just full-on, whatever the number, they like it.

00:09:59.140 Tim Uppel, who is the deputy leader right now, at one point he advocated and he had to walk it back,

00:10:05.240 not because he didn't believe it, but because there was backlash. He had to walk back saying we

00:10:09.840 should eliminate English tests for new citizens. No, we should not. That's insane. And here are the

00:10:17.080 stats that Anthony Kosh highlights, and these are from Polara, 2,502 people, kind of like Spark

00:10:23.440 insights. And it says, attitudes towards immigration levels. In your opinion, do you feel there are too

00:10:28.700 many, too few, or about the right amount, number of immigrants coming into Canada? 2002, 45% of people

00:10:35.900 said it was the right number. 34% was too many, 14% too few, and 7% don't know. Even in 2002,

00:10:43.540 if you were to run an election campaign on reducing immigration, it would probably be a winner, 1.00

00:10:50.700 because you at least have 34% of people on board. There are 7% who don't know, and even some people

00:10:57.560 in the right number range, they're not exactly going to get offended if you want to reduce it by

00:11:01.460 50,000 or 100,000, because, you know, maybe housing prices are going up. You could probably get away

00:11:06.320 with that. But now let's jump ahead to 2025 above. Only 22% of people think that we are at the right

00:11:14.460 number. 8% think it's too few. 10% say they don't know, and I don't believe that they don't know. I

00:11:19.920 think that people just don't want to say. 60%, a massive majority of people want, think it is too

00:11:29.220 many, especially when you were to just eliminate the don't knows, and then you redistribute that

00:11:34.800 portion. This is a massive portion of people. So I tell the Conservative Party again, like Anthony

00:11:40.980 Koch, I've been saying this for a while, run on slashing immigration, TFWs, and temporary foreign 0.99

00:11:46.560 workers by 75%. Slash the current numbers by 75%. I don't care if the population even starts going down

00:11:54.720 because the birth rate isn't great, and now our immigration is very low. I don't care. That's not

00:11:59.880 the purpose. Immigration is not just some numbers game where we're trying to pump up the GDP. That

00:12:04.700 was something an actual liberal said the other day. Well, immigration has been a success because 1.00

00:12:08.980 the GDP is going up. Who cares? The GDP per capita is going down. Let's have some sense here. It does

00:12:15.600 hurt the country to have just hundreds of thousands of people over a million some years entering the 1.00

00:12:20.780 country. We don't really care about the country. They don't have anything invested in it.

00:12:24.140 They're just here because there might be a job, and that's it. And know what? Fair enough. If the

00:12:29.040 doors were open, I don't exactly fault them for entering. Maybe I wouldn't personally go to a

00:12:33.800 country that I didn't care about because I don't really want to be somewhere where I don't want

00:12:38.380 to be, especially because I think it's rude to the people who already live there to occupy space

00:12:43.200 when you have no investment in the health of the country, the culture, the history. But I don't fault

00:12:48.400 them. I fault the people who opened the door this wide because it's not actually good for the

00:12:53.020 culture or the crime rates. It's not good for the job markets. Young people, especially younger 0.92

00:12:58.960 men, cannot find jobs. It's insane. And right now, the unemployment rate only tracks those who

00:13:04.820 are even looking anymore. But anyways, that should be it for me today, guys, in this video. So make

00:13:12.580 sure, again, to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, do all that great

00:13:16.140 stuff. And I will see you guys around later.
