00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:05.940 You can feel the political winds starting to shift in Canada once again.
00:00:10.380 Every year is full of many different news cycles. One news cycle advantages the Liberals,
00:00:16.080 and one news cycle advantages the Conservatives. January and February were great months for the
00:00:22.520 Liberals. The news cycle was perfect, and that's why you saw the Liberals take a very comfortable
00:00:29.280 lead over the Conservative Party in the polls. Although one of my friends who is a polling
00:00:35.000 expert, the great Canadian bagel, also named Chris, he has pointed out that the Conservatives
00:00:40.640 weren't actually doing all that bad in the polls, even where the Liberals were leading by 10 points.
00:00:46.420 The Conservatives were still around 36 to 40 percent in those polls, showing that the Conservatives
00:00:51.820 hadn't really lost a lot of the vote. The Liberals had just gained vote from the left.
00:00:56.860 And that could really just be a response bias. The liberal voters were far more motivated to
00:01:02.520 take the polls in January and February because of Carney trading blows with Trump. And now that we
00:01:08.420 are entering a news cycle that's not very good for Carney, you could start to see liberals being
00:01:13.440 less likely to actually take polls and things balancing out again. This news cycle is going
00:01:20.300 to be awful for Carney because again, his whole narrative is that he is the business guru. He is
00:01:26.320 the former governor of the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England. You can trust him with public
00:01:31.280 finance. Well, we have just exited the Carney versus Trump news cycle. We are now in the awful
00:01:37.820 jobs report cycle. We are in the Carney fumbling Iran cycle. This is going to be bad for the 0.59
00:01:44.900 liberals. And you can tell the legacy media knows it. The legacy media is a propaganda front group
00:01:50.680 for the liberal party. And whenever things are starting to go bad for the liberals,
00:01:55.140 the media develops a sort of nervous energy.
00:01:58.800 And so today I want to take you guys through some clips,
00:02:01.460 not only from Parliament, but also at a pure Polly of news conference,
00:02:05.280 where the media started to try and propagandize to Polly of directly in favor of the liberals.
00:02:11.420 And we're trying to make mild attacks on him,
00:02:13.480 just teeing Polly of up for a massive opportunity to dunk on the liberal media and put clips online. 1.00
00:02:20.780 I kind of love it whenever the media tries to propagandize for the liberals because it ends up just making Polyev's job easier for him.
00:02:29.600 But anyways, before I get into some of these videos, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, make sure to leave a like on the video, subscribe if you're not yet a subscriber, and leave a comment about what you think about all this.
00:02:41.000 I'm actually going back to Calgary today. So in the next week or so, you will see me back in my
00:02:46.240 studio, probably talking about polls on the whiteboards as we start to see some movement
00:02:50.880 back towards the Conservatives. But anyways, without further ado, first, we have to watch
00:02:56.200 this clip from the House of Commons, where a liberal claims that the war in Iran is causing
00:03:02.400 housing to be expensive.
00:03:04.120 spring housing report is out mr speaker and the headlines are concerning here it is condo sales
00:03:10.680 have collapsed inventory of all types of housing has surged and financial conditions have worsened
00:03:16.920 for home buyers but here's the most concerning thing about that report it says that canadians
00:03:21.800 are delaying starting families because of housing unaffordability delaying marriage
00:03:26.200 delaying children the very foundations of our society because they can't afford a home we've
00:03:31.400 offered one positive solution remove the gst on new homes for all canadians will the minister
00:03:36.200 commit to doing that today honorable minister thank you mr speaker well it's no surprise that
00:03:43.320 canadians are challenged with buying homes right now when there's a war in the middle east there's
00:03:49.320 no no surprise mr i don't know why they even made this guy the housing minister he is the failed
00:03:56.040 mayor of vancouver who helped make housing extremely expensive during his time in the
00:04:01.080 the mayor's office and now he's coming out to say well it's no surprise that housing is very
00:04:05.480 expensive right now and the market's down because there's a war in the middle east that should be a 1.00
00:04:11.600 new meme every single time a liberal gets asked a question that they cannot answer or they're asked
00:04:17.740 about some sort of policy failure of theirs they should be like well no doubt crime is up in canada
00:04:23.420 there is a war in the middle east oh yeah you can't afford your groceries that doesn't shock
00:04:28.760 me because of course you know there's a war in the middle east speaker
00:04:40.200 the member may continue in the first hundred days of build canada homes we've secured agreements
00:04:46.120 with nova scotia with bc with none of it we're delivering thousands we're up to 9 000 homes
00:04:52.120 that are being delivered through build canada homes for canadians and we're just getting started
00:04:56.520 mr speaker if we pass the build canada homes act in this house in the days ahead we can supercharge
00:05:02.680 the construction of affordable housing and that's what canadians need guys we're we're committed to
00:05:08.120 delivering 9 000 homes i i've never heard a government or a party more proudly declare that
00:05:15.400 there is work that they are going to do but have not done yet like come on guys you've had how many
00:05:20.920 years they've not built any affordable homes they are just committed to building 9 000 affordable
00:05:25.400 homes i could commit right now to building a hundred thousand affordable homes wow i'm doing
00:05:29.480 more than 10 times more commitments than the liberals right at this right here right in this
00:05:34.760 hotel room i am committing to more housing than the liberals and guess what we are both equally
00:05:39.800 as unlikely to build a single home the honorable member for your bureau well mr speaker an excuse
00:05:45.720 for every problem but this is a new one the war in iran is the cause of our housing crisis wow i mean
00:05:51.640 I don't know how you figure that. Square that circle, Mr. Speaker. And he boasts about 9,000 new homes. He promised 500,000 new homes. That's not even 2% of his target. And guess what? CMHC says only 259,000 were built last year. Only half of the target again. So at the rate that the minister complacently brags about, we'll never hit the target. So will he take our idea?
00:06:14.820 And by the way, the thing is that the whole 9,000 commitment is just that the government's going to help subsidize the creation of 9,000 homes or whatever.
00:06:23.640 It's just complete nonsense.
00:06:25.560 Housing starts keep going down every single year because, you know, it turns out simply just subsidizing the industry more does not actually speed it up.
00:06:34.140 In a lot of ways, it will slow it down.
00:06:36.400 Here's Polyev at his recent press conference going after the liberal promise that they're now going to somehow turn Canada into like a big EV or auto manufacturing hub, even though they can't get a deal signed with the Americans.
00:06:49.880 The Japanese automakers have said that they are setting up, the only reason they set up shop here in Canada is because they want to have access to the North American market.
00:07:03.680 They need to use our low-cost skilled hub to serve the U.S. market, and without that access, we see economic collapse.
00:07:13.980 Don't take my word for it.
00:07:15.180 Recently, the Japanese ambassador emphasized in an interview that Canada's main asset as a destination for Japanese automakers is that we offer a gateway to the U.S., and the industry has said exactly the same.
00:07:30.420 no one with credibility in the auto sector has come forward to agree with Mark Carney
00:07:37.600 that he can replace the United States by building electric vehicles for overseas markets. There is
00:07:44.600 no credible voice in the sector that lends any support to that liberal illusion.
00:07:53.240 So I'm just going to pause that clip there and then move on to a question from a journalist
00:07:59.560 from that same press conference. 1.00
00:08:01.600 This is just stupid. 1.00
00:08:04.220 It's basically just trying to naysay 1.00
00:08:06.360 the obviously correct conservative logic
00:08:09.000 and basically just say,
00:08:10.400 well, you can't actually sign a deal with the Americans.
00:08:14.480 Okay, one, you can.
00:08:16.460 And two, how does this contradict what Polly have saying?
00:08:19.800 You can't turn Canada into an auto manufacturing hub
00:08:23.840 if those autos are not going to America.
00:08:27.020 you can't why would you build anything in Canada if you're just going to ship it over to Asia or
00:08:31.800 ship it to Europe or Africa you would rather be in those continents that you're going to deliver 0.65
00:08:36.380 the cars to rather than manufacturing them in Canada just to ship elsewhere you know there's
00:08:41.500 something called the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean if you want to sell cars in Europe why not
00:08:46.900 just build them in Spain why not just build them in Germany why not just build them anywhere in
00:08:51.560 that continent thank you for taking another question sure um there seems to be a growing
00:08:57.760 consensus uh that canada will have to accept some level of tariff and i believe last year
00:09:05.100 the government met with auto executives asking them essentially what level of tariff what tariff
00:09:11.560 rate can you live with is that something that should be part of like a plan b in case the
00:09:17.460 americans say no to zero tariffs and do you think that's something that the industry needs to
00:09:23.780 consider i hate this question it's like there's a growing consensus that we're not going to be able
00:09:28.980 to get a deal with the americans who consensus from who what from liberal economists like what
00:09:36.020 are we talking about here well there's a growing consensus that we can't even sign a deal so it
00:09:41.040 doesn't really matter that carney's failing and maybe we should just not criticize his delusional
00:09:46.240 plan that he's just going to turn Canada into an independent car manufacturing hub that's going to
00:09:51.560 have no market access into the United States like oh come on come on get out of here are you talking
00:09:56.340 about tariffs on autos here yeah on the automotive industry I don't think we should go into a
00:10:00.900 negotiation making unilateral concessions I think we should go in demanding the ideal outcome I mean
00:10:07.000 if you if you enter the negotiation having already made concessions then you're only going to have to
00:10:13.420 back down even more I mean we've got we've got bargaining agents here from the unions we've got
00:10:19.040 some business people here who so they've been both in this room you've got people who've been
00:10:22.660 on both sides of the negotiating table many many times I think they would all agree with me that
00:10:27.820 you don't make concessions before you even get to the table and that's what Mr Carney has done
00:10:32.820 he's unilaterally conceded that there are going to be permanent tariffs on our auto steel and
00:10:37.880 lumber and then he says let's start negotiating from there how do you expect us to get a good
00:10:43.160 deal doing in that way? My approach, rather, is build up as much leverage as possible on the front
00:10:48.860 end by unlocking our resources, building up a strategic mineral reserve, and building our
00:10:55.760 strength at home. Also, promising the ability to cooperate on military procurement, and then use
00:11:04.140 that leverage to get tariffs removed. Here, I've got a plan that would advantage both Americans
00:11:12.100 and Canadians if we get to tariff-free deal and a one-for-one production-to-sales ratio.
00:11:19.280 So what we're putting forward here is a realistic plan to get the tariffs removed,
00:11:24.900 not because we expect the Americans are going to do it to be nice,
00:11:28.900 but because we've got a plan that actually increases their production as well as ours.
00:11:33.920 Oh my goodness, look, a good idea.
00:11:35.840 But the way that that media person had set up that question was basically to say
00:11:41.040 that everything you're saying doesn't matter because we can't actually get a deal with Trump
00:11:44.420 anyways. It's trying to use this kind of innate liberal Canadian fear of Trump to basically say
00:11:51.760 that all of this is worthless and that we should basically pretend that every D that Carney
00:11:58.500 delivers on the economy is actually an A if you really think about it. In fact, you know, if we
00:12:03.740 just take a D and we draw a line through the middle and erase the bottom, it's technically an A.
00:12:07.720 we can turn all these D's into A's because Trump's unreasonable. We've just decided that
00:12:15.320 Trump is too unreasonable. So failure is actually success. And your ideas aren't going to work
00:12:19.780 because there's a growing consensus that you can't even get a deal done. It's just so stupid. 1.00
00:12:24.760 Here's another one. One last question again from me. Canada is releasing more than 23 million 1.00
00:12:31.360 barrels of oil to deal with the current global supply. Are you sure about that?
00:12:37.200 So what's happening here is we have a journalist just repeating a Mark Carney propaganda line.
00:12:44.600 We're going to unleash 23 million barrels of oil into the world market to help stabilize
00:12:49.620 the oil economy. We don't have any oil reserves. How are we releasing anything? We don't have the
00:12:55.500 ability to really ship a lot of oil and gas because we've never built up our infrastructure
00:12:59.220 to do so we don't have pipelines like what is he talking about and we have a journal just saying
00:13:04.020 well they are doing this are they apparently just declaring you're going to do something
00:13:09.220 is good enough for the media to deal with the current global you sure about that i'm just
00:13:15.460 asking this question on the behalf of networks right um to deal with the current global supply
00:13:20.420 challenges what more do you think the government should be doing now what more do you think they
00:13:26.260 should be doing they're not even doing what you said they're doing because it's not possible based
00:13:30.660 on all of the factors that we know no oil and gas reserves no pipelines infrastructure for shipping
00:13:36.340 oil and gas is very poor what are you talking about well i'm not convinced they're releasing
00:13:41.780 any additional oil they have no oil to release um there we don't have a strategic oil stockpile
00:13:49.780 in canada we are the only g7 country without one so i think it's another illusion for mark 1.00
00:13:55.540 Carney to pretend that he's releasing stockpiles that he does not have. He does not have the
00:14:01.320 ability to flip a switch and suddenly increase production out of the Canadian oil patch,
00:14:07.420 especially after 10 years of the Liberals trying to keep that oil in the ground. Mr. Carney wrote
00:14:12.480 a book where he said his values included keeping 50% of our oil in the ground. He maintains an
00:14:19.120 industrial carbon tax that makes our production cost prohibitive. He's maintained all of the
00:14:24.800 anti-development laws of Justin Trudeau and he has not approved a single pipeline in a year
00:14:29.280 or a single project through his major projects office. So we don't need more illusions and
00:14:35.980 theater from Mr. Carney. What we need is for him to get out of the way by repealing anti-liberal
00:14:41.760 laws and the industrial carbon tax, by immediately green lighting pipelines to other markets so that
00:14:48.160 we can massively increase our production and we need to do as I proposed a week ago, develop a
00:14:54.100 strategic oil and mineral reserves so that we actually have stockpiles that we can release to
00:15:00.700 the world at great profit to ourselves and at savings to our consumers. So we as conservatives
00:15:09.960 are proposing to incentivize industry to build up hundreds of millions of barrels of oil over
00:15:16.680 a time period that could be kept in reserve for moments like this.
00:15:22.200 Now, we don't need to listen to the rest of that clip, but it's just so pathetic that you have media people going out there and basically not actually asking real questions, but basically just saying, well, Polly, if there's a consensus out there saying that there's no way of getting a deal, so it doesn't even matter anyways.
00:15:36.660 And then another guy gets up and just reads a liberal press release and says, well, Carney is sending out 23 million barrels of oil. Is he, though? Is he, though? You know that? You know that? You know that from anywhere but the press release? No?
00:15:52.200 Oh, so you're not actually a journalist.
00:15:54.820 You're just reading propaganda.
00:15:56.320 I just want to end with this one post I just made about this photo that Mark Carney posted on his social media.
00:16:03.660 He says here,
00:16:05.180 Oh my goodness.
00:16:18.840 Like, no.
00:16:19.980 No.
00:16:20.700 Sorry.
00:16:21.600 No.
00:16:23.160 Signing meaningless agreements and having press conferences with people does not make us more safe.
00:16:28.240 And I just said here, Mark Carney thinks the solution to all the world's problems is a policy coffee chat where we sign agreements that just affirm that we should stay friends.
00:16:36.760 This is all Carney has right now.
00:16:39.740 It's just photos with other world leaders.
00:16:42.020 the poly of conservatives if they really invigorate their policy agenda and they run
00:16:48.660 on a massive across the board tax cut deregulation making sure to like massively increase criminal
00:16:55.240 penalties for drugs you know on all these different fronts opposing the crazy land deals
00:17:00.180 that the liberals are signing with indigenous groups of only 1500 people shouldn't be signing
00:17:04.320 any at all but if they actually make a really if they run on a really bold platform that offers
00:17:10.200 real action compared to these ridiculous photo ops and visits abroad, you can win.
00:17:18.040 The conservatives are doing a better job right now on trade.
00:17:20.940 Now, they just need to take the lessons that they've learned over the past couple of weeks.
00:17:24.220 I hope that they've learned a lesson, and this isn't just a fluke, and apply that to
00:17:28.780 other areas.
00:17:29.960 Apply that to firearms.
00:17:31.540 Apply that to social issues.
00:17:33.220 Apply that to cultural issues.
00:17:34.840 Apply that to taxes.
00:17:35.780 take a really bold stance that is
00:17:38.560 transformatively different from what's currently
00:17:40.560 going on or else who's showing up
00:17:42.620 and voting for you no one shows up to vote for the guy
00:17:44.620 who's slightly different than the current guys they show
00:17:46.600 up for the opposite because if they
00:17:48.140 dislike the current option they effectively
00:17:50.640 want what is reasonably
00:17:52.320 considered the opposite not like you know
00:17:54.520 somebody's more
00:17:55.840 pro-government you just like become like a
00:17:58.260 like a libertarian
00:18:00.520 minor guest or something like that who wants no government
00:18:02.660 at all but you know I mean if we
00:18:04.560 have a big government liberal subsidy regime you want to be the guys who are running against
00:18:09.780 subsidies just running on massive tax cuts saying the government has to stop giving money to our
00:18:14.080 industry it has to just start cutting the taxes so it doesn't take the money in the first place
00:18:18.640 that it then hands back to select friends anyways with that all being said thank you guys for
00:18:23.700 watching make sure to like share and subscribe and i'll see you all next time
