The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Poilievre slams Carney election LIES! - Liberals politically stall-out

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. There seems to be a political shift occurring in Canada right now, where the Conservative Party is gaining the momentum back from the Liberals.

00:00:11.000 Now, they aren't in government, but it feels rather pathetic that after Mark Carney and the Liberals got a fourth term in office, that they've immediately blown all of their political capital, getting pretty much nothing done.

00:00:24.480 They've had a lot of mini-scandals, some more moderate ones like the Air Canada strike fiasco, and now Mark Carney is out gallivanting in Eastern Europe, having again still accomplished nothing.

00:00:36.480 In fact, Carney and his Liberal government have seemingly lost confidence in themselves, at the same time the Conservatives have regained confidence.

00:00:44.620 That's why I've called Pierre Polyev, Polyev 2.0, because after winning the Battle River Crowfoot by-election, it's just been a week, and he is more assertive.

00:00:54.900 He is more sure of himself, seemingly, and actually moving to the right on policies that Canadians want the Conservatives to move to the right on, like with immigration, taxes, with criminal justice.

00:01:06.840 It's been very good.

00:01:08.120 And in this video today, I want to break down some of the stuff that Pierre Polyev has been doing recently, as well as Mark Carney.

00:01:15.420 But before I get into it, I just want to let you guys know, if you live in British Columbia, I have an event coming up on September 13th with the 1BC party taking place in Abbotsford.

00:01:27.200 I'm going to be dropping the link for that event in the description of this video below, as well as pinned at the top of the comments.

00:01:33.600 If you live in the general area, show up, and we'll tell you about the 1BC party.

00:01:38.120 You can meet me. I'll give you a TNT pin if you want one.

00:01:41.080 It'll be a good time.

00:01:42.320 I'm not sure if the event has any ticket price to it. It might be free.

00:01:45.680 You can go check that out for yourself, and I'd love to have you guys there.

00:01:49.840 But now, let's get into it, starting with Mark Carney and the Liberals.

00:01:54.720 Now, this is something that Carney posted recently, and I don't even necessarily have an issue with him making this video.

00:02:01.920 But it's the scale of the videos that I find rather telling.

00:02:07.360 Carney very quickly did his press conference about the trade dispute with the United States and how we're dropping our retaliatory tariffs in order to try and get to a deal.

00:02:18.100 And then he quickly left Canada to go to Ukraine and Poland and whatnot, which, again, isn't necessarily bad.

00:02:24.580 But it does highlight the fact he hasn't gotten much done for Canada yet, and now he is cutting all these videos about Ukrainian independence.

00:02:32.480 On this day 34 years ago, Ukraine declared its independence from the Soviet Union.

00:02:38.060 And Canada was one of the first countries to recognize Ukraine as a sovereign nation.

00:02:42.960 It just goes on like that for 52 seconds, and I'm not saying that like, oh, it's an excessive amount of time.

00:02:49.080 The thing is that they've made now about seven or eight posts about Mark Carney either doing that video about Ukrainian independence or him walking around Ukraine and shaking hands with Volodymyr Zelensky and being the president of Poland.

00:03:02.920 Again, that's fine. Our leader, being a world leader, should go and meet other world leaders.

00:03:09.180 But they've done an excessive amount of posts about this particular trip.

00:03:13.720 At the same time, the last update we got about trade was that we dropped our retaliatory tariffs, and we want to get to a deal with the Americans.

00:03:21.520 With no other information, I don't even know if we're actually starting to negotiate again with the U.S.

00:03:27.320 That's what I mean.

00:03:29.040 The liberals on a domestic level are stalled out.

00:03:31.580 It's like watching a military at the beginning of a campaign race across the border trying to capture as much territory as they can,

00:03:39.380 and they all funnel down one road and a tree fell in front of them, and now they're completely stalled out and all their fuel's gone.

00:03:45.720 It's like watching, and I'm not trying to make a direct comparison between the liberals and the Nazis,

00:03:50.200 but it's like watching the Germans in Operation Barbarossa charge across the field in no particular direction,

00:03:56.680 stalling out and now having to fight along this wide front.

00:03:59.240 The liberals with Bill C-5 are apparently going to get major projects done,

00:04:03.420 but even Carney has told every indigenous group he can find that he's not going to push past the consultation process,

00:04:10.220 which in my mind doesn't mean he's not going to get anything like any major projects done.

00:04:15.500 And other than that, I can't name anything big he's doing other than he's announcing a lot of subsidies,

00:04:20.880 which doesn't actually make our economy better, just protects us from the damage that's already being done to us,

00:04:27.560 whether it's through our own bad policies or it's from the U.S.'s tariffs, including also China's tariffs on canola.

00:04:34.300 It's all just rather strange because Mark Carney was supposed to be the man with the plan,

00:04:38.880 and I'm not seeing much plan, and in fact, we rarely ever see the man doing anything himself.

00:04:45.080 He's meeting with like small-time local officials.

00:04:48.580 Like the other day, he met with the Honourable Member of Provincial Parliament from Nepean,

00:04:54.580 which is provincial riding underneath Carney's, Tyler Watt, to talk about affordable housing.

00:05:00.940 Why was he talking to the Honourable Member of Provincial Parliament?

00:05:04.780 Is it because he's the housing minister or even the housing shadow critic?

00:05:09.460 No, he's a member of Provincial Parliament in the third biggest party in Ontario. 1.00

00:05:17.760 Just stupid. 1.00

00:05:19.080 But for some reason, that's considered worthwhile for Carney to do. 1.00

00:05:21.940 At the same time, we were not engaging with the United States on trade at that point.

00:05:27.180 And now we have the Liberals posting this on their own social media accounts saying,

00:05:32.300 A big thank you to each and every volunteer who joined us this weekend all across Canada for our August Day of Action.

00:05:39.960 Your dedication is at the heart of our work to build stronger Canada.

00:05:43.960 Let's keep building together.

00:05:45.920 And boy, howdy, wouldn't I love to be a fly on the wall at some of those door knocking, those instances of door knocking.

00:05:54.120 Yeah, there's probably a lot of people who are like, I voted for you.

00:05:56.420 You're great.

00:05:57.440 But I would love to hear from the people who are like, well, what are you guys doing right now?

00:06:01.760 Other than some generic rhetoric about how we're supporting Canadian workers and whatnot, what would they actually say they're doing right now?

00:06:10.400 What are they going to get done in the legislative session?

00:06:13.020 Now, I've heard they may try and get a pipeline done, that they may try and do some sort of mining.

00:06:19.440 They might try and approve at least some major projects.

00:06:21.900 But so far, like we're about to get with Pierre Polyev, they haven't really announced anything.

00:06:27.820 They haven't even announced anything preliminary, like, well, we want to get some mines approved in northern Saskatchewan.

00:06:33.440 I don't know if there's mines in northern Saskatchewan.

00:06:35.380 Get off my case, guys.

00:06:36.660 But you got my point.

00:06:37.340 There's not even saying we want to pre-approve a pipeline to Hudson's Bay.

00:06:41.520 We want to pre-approve an Energy East pipeline or a pipeline to the West Coast.

00:06:46.980 There is none there yet, but we're basically saying yes preemptively to any company who wants to step up or collection of companies who want to step up and help us build it.

00:06:55.720 They haven't even done that because they don't really want to get it done.

00:06:58.420 And other stuff that the Liberals have been posting is, you know, again, just more clips of him out in Europe.

00:07:06.520 And again, I don't have an issue with him necessarily doing this.

00:07:09.960 It just highlights how empty their domestic policy has been.

00:07:13.760 And even their foreign policy is saying we're going to spend more money on the military.

00:07:17.700 At the same time, we're already running a $92 billion deficit with no cost-cutting measures to make up for this new spending on the military.

00:07:26.400 It seems like we're just going to keep adding it to our debt.

00:07:29.340 My message today is simple.

00:07:32.140 Canada will always stand in solidarity with Ukraine because your cause, freedom, democracy.

00:07:42.020 Oh, goodness.

00:07:42.960 Imagine having to be assembled in a square as a member of the military because, wait for it, Mark Carney is here to say stuff to us.

00:07:52.960 Canada has given a good amount of money to Ukraine.

00:07:55.620 But, like, we haven't given that much.

00:07:57.740 And I'm not even advocating whether we should give more or less.

00:08:00.680 But imagine having to sit there in that square while this man just says platitudinous nonsense and is not even offering more support.

00:08:08.080 I guess we're going to increase our military spending.

00:08:10.360 But are we going to send anything to them?

00:08:12.040 And even then, that's like a one- to two-year horizon thing.

00:08:15.120 We're not just going to immediately spawn a bunch more troops, a bunch more ammunition or bombs or aircraft.

00:08:21.200 We just kind of, like, are generally working on it, guys.

00:08:23.640 Don't worry.

00:08:25.060 But now I want to jump over to, again, it's actually kind of excessive just how many photos there are of this.

00:08:32.380 I'm about to jump over to Polyev, but just more of it. 0.93

00:08:35.040 There's, like, again, like 12 of these posts.

00:08:37.640 One about the trade deal.

00:08:38.880 Like, one or two about the trade deal that they didn't even really give us any details on other than we're dropping our retaliatory tariffs.

00:08:44.960 And, like, 12 about him meeting with people where probably nothing of that much importance was actually said.

00:08:51.720 But now I want to jump over to Mr. Pierre Polyev, who I think is doing a very good job right now, Pierre Polyev 2.0,

00:08:59.480 in going after the liberals aggressively on issues that the conservatives can win on and gain new voters from.

00:09:07.080 So here he is going after the liberals on their inability to actually name any major projects they want to develop despite passing Bill C-5, the major projects Let's Get It Done Act.

00:09:18.040 So here's him on this, and then later I want to get to him critiquing the liberals' lies when it comes to immigration.

00:09:25.460 Here is him going after them for lying about being serious about actually getting any major projects done.

00:09:30.640 Not one pipeline has been identified, not one LNG plant, not one nuclear plant, not one hydroelectricity dam,

00:09:38.460 not one major project has been identified, let alone approved, in the 160 days since he took office.

00:09:44.360 And all of the anti-resource laws that will make them impossible to complete remain in place.

00:09:50.960 On housing, he said he'd double homebuilding.

00:09:53.780 His housing agency says homebuilding will drop by 13% over the next two years.

00:10:01.100 And the housing crisis has tripled in its different directions.

00:10:06.480 Under Trudeau, it was just that they were too expensive for anyone to buy.

00:10:09.700 Now, it's too costly for builders to build, buyers to buy, or sellers to sell.

00:10:16.140 An almost impossible, triumvirate of failure in housing hell that only a liberal prime minister could have accomplished.

00:10:25.800 And before anyone tries to chirp back, not that these type of people would be in the audience,

00:10:31.220 But before anyone tries to say, well, Carney's only been on the job for 160 days,

00:10:36.060 and you think he's going to solve the housing crisis?

00:10:38.400 He was Justin Trudeau's economic advisor.

00:10:41.840 Yes, he's actually contributed to the problem over the last five years before he even became prime minister.

00:10:47.460 And again, we could have actually passed something to make it easier to build.

00:10:52.140 Maybe reduce corporate taxes.

00:10:54.300 That's a general shotgunned way of trying to help the economy, and it would do a lot of good things for Canada.

00:10:59.040 They didn't do that.

00:11:00.440 They're not trying to reduce environmental regulations to make it easier to build or easier to approve major energy projects.

00:11:08.720 Nah, just generally they're going to support the industry more, which isn't going to help.

00:11:14.120 Even their own housing minister agreed that they're not going to do anything to touch the prices of housing,

00:11:19.700 because the liberals believe that if they reduce the amount, the cost of housing,

00:11:25.220 that people are going to revolt against them and they're going to go vote for the conservatives

00:11:28.120 because people like the equity in their house to go up.

00:11:31.920 Even though right now we're in a housing bubble and a lot of that value is fake,

00:11:35.860 but now the liberals are incentivizing the bubble by, I don't know what,

00:11:40.440 but for some reason they don't want to actually get down to the root problem of houses being too expensive

00:11:45.400 because the supply is too low and the influx of new people is too high.

00:11:49.400 He said he would invest more and spend less.

00:11:52.880 Well, look at the numbers.

00:11:54.220 Spending is up 8% under Mr. Carney,

00:11:56.700 and it looks like the deficit will be twice the one that Trudeau left behind.

00:12:01.420 Though we don't know because Mr. Carney, the genius banker, still hasn't introduced a budget.

00:12:05.540 And then there is the investment side down $60 billion in what the Financial Times says,

00:12:13.040 the single biggest net outflow of investment in any five-month period.

00:12:17.000 That is Mr. Carney's track record on investment.

00:12:19.940 He is spending more and investing less.

00:12:23.880 I thought that was great.

00:12:24.780 I think that Pierre's tone has been very good since getting more assertive here.

00:12:29.920 It's not being more fighty.

00:12:31.580 It's being more pointed.

00:12:32.860 And I thought that was very good, and I thought the things that he highlighted were very good.

00:12:37.580 And the other day he also said something that I thought was a really good way of tackling an issue.

00:12:43.460 Don't support counter tariffs against the U.S. if you're a conservative.

00:12:47.780 Just from a political strategic point of view, all the really anti-Trump people are voting liberal.

00:12:53.020 You're not going to out-anti-Trump the liberals, nor should you want to anyways.

00:12:57.820 What you should do is point out the liberals have weakened the economy so much

00:13:01.460 the Americans can eat our lunch because our companies cannot compete.

00:13:05.380 And in order to try and make them compete, we just keep jamming more taxpayer money into failing industries

00:13:10.580 rather than trying to make them succeed by getting the boot of government off of them and taxing them less.

00:13:17.640 Now I want to jump over to something else that Pierre Polyev has been going on about,

00:13:25.500 which I think is a very good issue for him to be tackling, and that is immigration.

00:13:30.880 Immigration is an 80-20 issue for the conservatives.

00:13:35.180 80% of, let's cut out NDP, bloc, and green voters from this because it's mostly irrelevant

00:13:41.740 to the battle that the conservatives are fighting,

00:13:43.680 but between the conservatives and liberals,

00:13:46.020 80% of people think immigration is way too high and it needs to be limited,

00:13:50.580 and people need to be pushed to go back to where they originated from

00:13:55.460 if they are overstayed a visa, if they do not have the skills or the capital

00:13:59.840 to be able to survive in our economy, because it's not good for us and it's not good for them.

00:14:04.540 And here is what Pierre Polyev said on X just today that I think was, again,

00:14:09.600 a great take on immigration, and this is going to win him a lot of new support.

00:14:13.200 He said,

00:14:14.460 A Canada-first immigration and refugee system should only invite the right people in the right numbers 1.00

00:14:19.760 so our jobs, health care, and housing can catch up.

00:14:22.340 Instead, the liberals' radical open borders policy broke Canada's immigration system

00:14:26.460 and made all these problems worse, which isn't fair to anyone.

00:14:29.980 I even noticed now the language Polyev uses,

00:14:33.500 the media during an election would probably say this is very Trump-like language.

00:14:37.900 But I think if you're on Polyev's advisory team, you should just say just go for it, though.

00:14:42.600 You're right.

00:14:43.820 Who cares if someone says it's Trump-like?

00:14:45.580 Because the average person, if they ever hear that criticism,

00:14:47.980 is going to say, well, it's correct, so who cares?

00:14:50.600 And so I do like the way that he is already phrasing the immigration issue,

00:14:56.400 you know, using terms like Canada-first immigration system

00:14:59.340 and talking about radical open border policies.

00:15:03.820 But Polyev then goes on to say,

00:15:05.000 Mark Carney promised to fix it, but these results show he's worse.

00:15:08.900 He supports the same out-of-control liberal immigration policies

00:15:11.800 that delivered a triple-header crisis in housing, health care, and youth unemployment.

00:15:16.120 These breaking numbers blow through the government's own targets midway through the year,

00:15:20.060 with some on course to be the highest on record.

00:15:23.440 Temporary foreign workers, promised cap of $82,000, issued $105,000 so far.

00:15:29.320 International Mobility Program, promised cap of $285,000,

00:15:33.960 admitted $302,000 in the first six months.

00:15:36.400 Moreover, their so-called caps on permanent residence

00:15:40.360 were already amongst the highest in our history,

00:15:42.920 yet they're on track to exceed their own reckless targets,

00:15:45.840 welcoming the equivalent of twice the population of Guelph

00:15:48.640 and the population of Abbotsford.

00:15:50.940 While Canada faces the lowest youth unemployment since 1998,

00:15:55.340 Liberals are on track to issue the most temporary foreign worker visas in a single year.

00:15:59.440 Meanwhile, our asylum system is facing collapse with 2,920% increase in the backlog since 2015.

00:16:07.180 Waiting times for hearings have already been stretched beyond four years.

00:16:10.740 These new numbers mean more delays,

00:16:12.740 turning Canada's asylum process into a waiting room of broken promises. 0.76

00:16:16.800 The only conservatives will propose plans this fall, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:21.340 That's just now the boilerplate will do it better.

00:16:24.440 But I genuinely do believe he'll do it significantly better with rhetoric like this,

00:16:29.140 because during the election, whatever advisor was in charge of immigration policy

00:16:33.780 really let Polyev down.

00:16:35.880 Saying we're going to go from a cap on permanent residence from $395,000 to $250,000,

00:16:41.240 it's like, is that better?

00:16:43.780 Sure.

00:16:44.660 But it's like the conservatives' policy on taxes during the election.

00:16:48.720 Is it strictly better to want a two and a quarter point reduction in the tax rate under $50,000

00:16:56.000 compared to Carney's reduction of just 1%?

00:16:59.060 Yes.

00:16:59.780 But for it to be substantial enough that it drives a lot of people's votes,

00:17:04.060 it needs to be much bigger.

00:17:06.280 Under $50,000, drop it by four points.

00:17:09.220 Above it, drop it by three points.

00:17:11.240 So that overall, we are giving a tax reduction of anywhere from 20% to 25%, depending on the bracket.

00:17:19.940 That's what actually drives people to vote for a different party on a fiscal issue.

00:17:24.140 When people say that fiscal issues don't excite people,

00:17:27.380 it's typically because people don't put forward exciting fiscal policies.

00:17:32.240 What you need to do is actually run on transforming people's financial health.

00:17:38.120 You have to run on giving people back so much money on their taxes that they can actually

00:17:42.960 take that vacation, that they can put money into their children's, like, you know,

00:17:47.480 people can, you know, make, can actually, like, send their kids to college maybe one day.

00:17:53.060 They can make sure that their kid doesn't have to pay their entire own way. 0.97

00:17:57.000 That your mortgage becomes substantially easier to pay.

00:18:00.580 That's what you have to do.

00:18:01.580 It can't just be $800 back on the year.

00:18:03.640 It needs to be $3,000 back for the average family, making it over $100,000.

00:18:09.620 But anyways, now I just want to jump to one more post from Polly to kind of make my point here.

00:18:16.340 Everything has gotten more pointed, and I think that it's a good thing.

00:18:21.240 You shouldn't listen to anyone, especially on the CBC, saying that this is,

00:18:24.800 this tone is going to turn off Canadians.

00:18:27.120 If the Liberals are failing, you've got to whack them over it.

00:18:30.300 You don't be cruel, but you have to be direct.

00:18:33.920 So Polly is, quote, tweeting this post that says,

00:18:37.380 a C.D. Howe Institute report by John Lester says,

00:18:40.500 Ottawa's spending review will save just $22 billion by 2028-2029,

00:18:46.320 $28 billion short of what's needed to stabilize debt,

00:18:49.340 with exemptions leaving $175 billion untouched.

00:18:53.740 Yes, so by potentially four years in the future,

00:18:58.040 the Liberal government, through cost-saving measures,

00:19:00.680 will have maybe saved us $22 billion in efficiencies.

00:19:05.040 Now, that's a long way to wait, just to get $22 billion back.

00:19:10.520 And we could probably easily just cut out all of DEI and government 0.91

00:19:14.680 and stupid ESG monitoring and a couple other things 0.76

00:19:17.600 and already be saving half of that right now. 0.99

00:19:20.580 But the Liberal government, while it wants to pretend

00:19:23.480 it's actually in favor of fiscal responsibility,

00:19:26.400 is actually fiscal responsibility later.

00:19:29.020 And if it's fiscal responsibility later,

00:19:31.400 it's fiscal responsibility never.

00:19:33.820 Because the Liberals, I guarantee you,

00:19:35.860 will be running on a different platform and a different agenda

00:19:38.880 well before they're ever actually held accountable

00:19:41.420 on having to actually deliver those savings.

00:19:43.680 They probably want an election sometime in 2026 or 2027

00:19:47.820 to get a majority government.

00:19:49.680 Although, with the momentum the Conservatives have now,

00:19:52.100 they may turtle up and not want an election at all.

00:19:55.400 And to this, Pierre Polyev said,

00:19:57.960 Mark Carney, I'll talk, no action.

00:20:00.520 Mark Carney's spending plan, even if he keeps them,

00:20:03.460 will find nowhere near the savings he needs,

00:20:05.580 says the C.D. Howe Institute.

00:20:08.640 That means more liberal debt, taxes, and inflation for Canadians.

00:20:12.180 He said he'd be different.

00:20:13.280 Instead, he's worse.

00:20:14.420 And now, I want to go over to one other thing

00:20:17.280 that I also think kind of gives lie to the idea

00:20:20.060 that the Liberals really care about fiscal responsibility.

00:20:24.520 And it's this story from, what is this outlet again?

00:20:29.140 It is the Policy Options, you know,

00:20:33.280 I think it's like the Institute for Policy Options or whatever.

00:20:36.700 And it's this article entitled,

00:20:38.340 What Will Be the Fate of the Budget Watchdog?

00:20:41.320 Quote, I think I would know by now.

00:20:43.560 And the subhead here says,

00:20:46.260 Parliamentary Budget Officer, Yves Giroux,

00:20:50.020 term is up soon with no replacement named as a major fall.

00:20:53.780 Reset is about to unfold.

00:20:55.500 Interesting.

00:20:56.640 I always say that thing wrong.

00:20:58.300 It's not Yves, it's like Yves or Yves Giroux.

00:21:02.380 I'm so sorry if I can't say that right, guys.

00:21:04.360 But in this article, it describes that Mr. Giroux is about to have his term end on September 2nd.

00:21:13.220 And typically, they would already know who was going to take over for the Parliamentary Budget Officer.

00:21:18.640 And yet the Liberal government has been entirely untransparent with if there is a replacement and if there is not a replacement yet when we are about to get that replacement.

00:21:27.820 And what it feels like to me is by just using basically bureaucratic friction.

00:21:34.960 The Liberals are going to make sure the PBO, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, who is a fiscal watchdog, is not replaced by the time that Carney pushes his budget through.

00:21:45.840 So he can push a complete dog's breakfast through and you're not going to have another Mr. Giroux around to hold their feet to the fire and say,

00:21:53.380 well, you said this, you said that, there's no transparency in this aspect of spending and all that sort of thing.

00:21:58.520 They can just basically replace him midway through 2026 and figure out all the rest later.

00:22:04.940 But anyways, that is it for me in this video, guys.

00:22:08.900 I just wanted to do kind of an overview on what I see as the way Canadian politics is shifting right now.

00:22:15.680 Mark Carney and the Liberals seem to not really know what to do next.

00:22:19.820 Again, they've stalled out on trade.

00:22:21.600 They got embarrassed on the Air Canada fiasco.

00:22:24.240 And right now in Abacus' data, they're actually falling behind the Conservatives in the polling for the first time since March.

00:22:30.820 I think that it's not a mistake that Abacus showed that polling change occur.

00:22:36.600 I think that this is a direct result of the recent mistakes.

00:22:40.160 It's that a lot of people are realizing that Mark Carney isn't the man with the plan, the guy who can lead us through a crisis.

00:22:45.880 He's just, frankly, another mediocre liberal politician.

00:22:49.220 And while he may have not been an elected official before this, it doesn't change the fact that he's kind of the material that makes for a typical bad liberal prime minister.

00:22:59.420 Somebody who, at the end of the day, no matter how much he talks about fiscal efficiency, will engage in heavy subsidization of the economy because that's a liberal policy.

00:23:08.900 And he holds to liberal orthodoxy.

00:23:10.220 But anyways, with that being said, thank you guys for watching.

00:23:15.820 Make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment if you can, and I will see you guys all later.
