Summary
Former Conservative MP Pierre Polyev said that if the RCMP had been doing their job and not covering up for Justin Trudeau, then he should have been charged for the SNC-Lavalin scandal. Now, the CBC is all offended by this and acting like it's a completely insane thing for Polyev to say.

00:00:00.000
Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I need to show you a clip from the CBC that is absolutely pathetic.
00:00:08.080
So former Conservative MP Peter McKay was on Power and Politics, hosted by David Cochran,
00:00:15.000
and they were discussing Pierre Polyev, the current leader of the Conservative Party,
00:00:19.780
saying that former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should have been criminally charged for the SNC-Lavalin scandal,
00:00:27.240
and he said that the RCMP effectively helped Trudeau cover it up.
00:00:32.960
Now, the CBC is all offended by this and acting like it's a completely insane thing for Polyev to say,
00:00:39.720
mostly because current Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Liberal government is doing really, really bad,
00:00:45.820
and so the CBC needs a cheap thing to take a shot at Pierre Polyev for.
00:00:50.260
So I want to take you guys through this and just demonstrate how absurd this is
00:00:55.140
to pretend like anything that Polyev said was offside in any way.
00:00:59.640
And then I want to talk about a few other things in this video,
00:01:02.720
including just a mini-breakdown of the Calgary mayoral debate that happened yesterday.
00:01:08.080
By the way, if you live in Calgary, I have a link in the description below,
00:01:12.900
as well as a link pinned at the top of the comments if you want to check out my endorsement list.
00:01:17.220
There's also some mayoral endorsements for some other cities like Red Deer, Cochran, Airdrie, and Medicine Hat,
00:01:24.160
and I think I said Edmonton. Maybe I didn't say Edmonton.
00:01:29.160
And of course, guys, if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on this video.
00:01:34.500
We are trying to hit 100,000 subscribers before mid-December of this year,
00:01:39.520
or I owe all my friends dinner, and right now it looks like I'm really going to be owing them dinner.
00:01:44.400
So make sure you subscribe if you're not subscribed yet,
00:01:47.340
and then, of course, leave a comment on what you think about all this.
00:01:50.480
And of course, I want to give a shout-out to CBC Watcher,
00:01:53.040
who does a great job of clipping things from the CBC and posting it on X for us to all watch,
00:01:59.160
because obviously there is way too much mainstream media coverage for us all to watch all day long
00:02:09.260
So here is David Cochran going after Pierre Polyev and pressing Peter McKay on the issue.
00:02:14.840
Another issue that was raised at this press conference today that I want to kind of pivot to,
00:02:18.200
it is something that the Conservative leader said in a recently released podcast interview,
00:02:22.680
where Pierre Polyev had some not-so-nice things to say about the RCMP,
00:02:27.260
comments that the RCMP commissioner responded to today.
00:02:31.400
If the RCMP had been doing its job and not covering up for him,
00:02:39.260
The leadership of the RCMP is, frankly, just despicable
00:02:42.460
when it comes to enforcing laws against the Liberal government.
00:02:45.860
I don't take any orders from any political individual.
00:02:50.840
And as far as his comment with regards to senior management,
00:02:55.660
and to meet with the people who run this great organization.
00:03:01.420
The him that Pierre Polyev was talking about was Justin Trudeau.
00:03:04.020
And the allegations that the RCMP covered up crimes by the Trudeau government
00:03:10.380
Commissioner Duan was deputy commissioner at the time.
00:03:12.980
Peter McKay, the opposition leader going after the National Police Force.
00:03:19.620
Oh, Pierre Polyev going after the National Police Force?
00:03:25.660
But immediately we are pivoting the language to,
00:03:33.280
who have been shown to be very, very much in league with the Liberals.
00:03:38.780
They walk in lockstep with the Liberal government.
00:03:41.680
And naturally, the police obviously does move with the government in many cases.
00:03:47.280
But when there's corruption, you don't want the RCMP doing the bidding,
00:03:52.440
or at least not acting when it benefits the Liberal government.
00:03:56.260
We literally had to get rid of Brenda Luckey for being such an obvious liberal shill
00:04:02.500
in her position as the commissioner of the RCMP.
00:04:08.480
that she was like a Trudeau's right-hand man when it came to the law.
00:04:16.000
and just how she seemed to act around the Liberal government.
00:04:23.840
because they're acting like this is insane for anyone to assume that there was a cover-up that happened.
00:04:29.080
Like that, calling them despicable and accusing them of covering up a crime.
00:04:34.900
Like, you have to work with these police officers.
00:04:42.080
and certainly Pierre Polyev should consider taking up the offer of the commissioner.
00:04:47.360
I think getting back, though, to the central issue of the allegation,
00:04:51.260
I can tell you, David, having been a prosecutor,
00:04:54.460
if any politician, if a local mayor had called me up and said,
00:04:58.080
hey, you know, my brother-in-law was charged last night with,
00:05:05.140
And so, arguably, there is a discussion to be had about what occurred in the SNC-Lavalin case
00:05:12.320
Jody Wilson-Raybould wrote quite extensively about that in her book.
00:05:16.200
But she said it was inappropriate but not illegal.
00:05:24.560
And he says, well, she said it was inappropriate, not illegal.
00:05:29.200
She's still a liberal, and she's trying to sell her books to liberals.
00:05:33.060
Of course, she's going to downplay certain aspects of it.
00:05:36.880
One, because she could potentially be sued by Justin Trudeau or someone else
00:05:53.420
And so, she probably wants to stay out of court with Justin Trudeau,
00:05:57.580
who obviously has more legal resources than she does.
00:06:00.580
So, of course, she's just going to say it's inappropriate,
00:06:03.380
because that's all she can currently prove based on all of the findings.
00:06:07.940
I'm going to go over in just a second and show you how effectively it was covered up
00:06:12.400
and how the RCMP did not push at all to uncover any information
00:06:16.800
that could have led to someone like Justin Trudeau being prosecuted.
00:06:20.340
But I will let this play on a little bit longer.
00:06:24.680
And I just don't know what evidence that despicable, to use that word, RCMP leadership,
00:06:33.740
I know this is a big claim for the opposition leader to make.
00:06:36.140
And we're going to go over who else makes this claim,
00:06:38.760
because you have lefty publications making this claim.
00:06:46.360
who is making the claim that the RCMP covered it up effectively.
00:06:53.680
because a lot of that evidence would have to come from the individuals involved,
00:06:57.200
including people who worked for Prime Minister Trudeau.
00:07:02.380
that's an interpretation of the law that we will probably never get to.
00:07:06.800
But we do know certain facts that there was an effort to have the Attorney General of Canada
00:07:11.640
reverse the decision taken by a regional, in this case of Quebec,
00:07:16.120
prosecutor around a deferred prosecution agreement.
00:07:18.920
But I know a little bit about that particular legislation,
00:07:24.940
And so that legislation specifically lays out any type of influence,
00:07:33.380
And in this case, it went through the Attorney General of Canada.
00:07:39.780
Criminal is another, much more difficult standard to meet.
00:07:44.040
But, you know, I think much of what Pierre Poliev has said
00:07:48.200
stems from that particular pass that was given to then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:07:54.140
So, now I want to take you guys through the APTN article.
00:08:00.000
We don't actually really need to go through it much,
00:08:03.820
they start talking about how obviously this thing was covered up.
00:08:07.980
So, again, APTN, a government-subsidized Aboriginal news network.
00:08:21.260
A director with Democracy Watch says the investigation into allegations of political interference
00:08:26.880
against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his officials,
00:08:30.060
made by former Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, needs to be reopened.
00:08:34.000
Oh, and by the way, this article is from February of this year.
00:08:38.360
This was a while back, but it also wasn't even made at the time.
00:08:41.200
This is something that people keep saying that we should be revisiting.
00:08:44.500
You know, what I'm trying to say is this wasn't like some article that was being printed at the time of the scandal.
00:08:50.460
This is several years later in this current year saying that that was pretty bad.
00:08:59.020
Quote, we keep digging and asking for updates and trying to get information about the investigation.
00:09:04.000
And we finally got 3,600 pages of internal investigation records.
00:09:08.560
And our conclusion is that the RCMP did a weak, incomplete investigation that amounts to a cover-up, alleged Duff Conacher.
00:09:18.120
In 2019, Wilson-Raybould accused Trudeau and the members of the Prime Minister's office of pressuring her to intervene
00:09:24.560
and prevent a criminal prosecution against mining company S&C-Lavalin.
00:09:28.320
The RCMP closed its investigation into the matter in 2023, recommending no charges be laid.
00:09:35.240
But Democracy Watch, a national nonprofit organization, claims the Mounties missed a number of things.
00:09:40.880
These include interviewing only four of 15 key witnesses, failing to provide key testimony from Wilson-Raybould,
00:09:48.220
her then Chief of Staff, Jessica Prince, and former Minister Jane Philpott,
00:09:52.660
and not demanding key internal cabinet communication records.
00:09:55.760
So the way that this was covered up was basically through not actually providing any information
00:10:06.420
There were even Conservative Party emails to its own members at the time that I went back and read today
00:10:13.560
where they were talking about how the main problem here with the RCMP is that the PMO will just tell staff members,
00:10:20.840
because they employ them, you're not allowed talking to the police,
00:10:23.400
you can only give over this information, you can't even say anything publicly.
00:10:27.720
And so they effectively got away with a crime because, like Peter McKay had said in that CBC clip,
00:10:33.600
the only people who could possibly catch Justin Trudeau are his own staff,
00:10:38.100
who are both incentivized through party affiliation and employment not to say anything.
00:10:44.440
Of course you're not going to have anyone turn on Trudeau.
00:10:47.220
So they are all effectively in cahoots on this thing, and nobody's going to say anything,
00:10:52.640
and the police did not fresh press to actually get any of the information that could cause anyone to be criminally indicted.
00:11:00.680
The police basically let them get away with presenting them the information they wanted them to see,
00:11:07.800
So it looked unethical what they have released, because obviously it was unethical,
00:11:11.820
but they never released anything that would prove criminality.
00:11:18.440
The RCMP isn't taking documents and shredding them.
00:11:21.100
What the RCMP is doing is just letting them get away with not giving them any documents.
00:11:26.240
So yeah, they're not helping them in the crime.
00:11:31.200
They're just never asking for it in the first place so nobody would ever know about it.
00:11:36.360
Well, that should be mostly it for this video, guys.
00:11:39.200
I do just quickly want to say something about the Calgary mayoral debate.
00:11:45.040
You guys can go look up CBC Calgary mayoral debate, and you'll see it right away at the top of your search bar.
00:11:51.560
If you want to go watch it, there's this annoying thing coming out of it.
00:11:56.980
I think she is the best mayor candidate in the race.
00:12:00.180
But people are trying to go after her, especially from the Jeff Davison camp,
00:12:07.320
Okay, she opposes Jeff Davison's four-year tax freeze because it makes no sense.
00:12:13.300
She said that you can't just freeze taxes or else people aren't going to be getting wage increases and whatnot.
00:12:18.860
She's not advocating for raises in taxes because two minutes later,
00:12:23.320
she then says we need to cut bloated administration and wasteful spending
00:12:30.600
She is, in fact, in favor of getting to the point where we can cut taxes
00:12:34.000
by reducing the amount of administrative bloat.
00:12:37.180
Her critique of Jeff was effectively that he's saying,
00:12:42.300
Also, here's a bunch of new spending I support.
00:12:44.480
Also, I'm not going to cut anything, which is illogical.
00:12:47.840
If you're going to freeze taxes in this scenario,
00:12:51.480
you're effectively going to have to either lower people's,
00:12:54.460
you're going to have to effectively lower people's incomes
00:12:57.740
in order to then pay for all the new things you want to do
00:13:00.320
or completely freeze out all pay increases that have been planned within the budgets.
00:13:07.080
That was her critique, is that his tax freeze plan doesn't actually make any sense.
00:13:13.760
So I'll probably do maybe a debate breakdown later on.
00:13:18.040
It was a bit sluggish because I find that they keep asking the same questions every single debate.
00:13:26.340
She's very good on wanting to repeal blanket rezoning.
00:13:29.460
And her wanting to cut administration is amazing
00:13:34.600
Even Jeff Davison, who's pretending to be a conservative in this race,
00:13:37.800
despite voting for every tax increase when he was a councillor between 2017 and 2021.
00:13:45.760
But check my endorsement list out in the description below.
00:13:48.820
Pin to the top of the comments if you're still looking for candidates in your area.
00:13:52.040
I go mayor, councillor, as well as school board trustee.
