00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:02.880 Something I didn't highlight about Pierre Polyev's press conference yesterday,
00:00:06.600 but I thought was a brilliant rhetorical line for him to be using over the next couple of years,
00:00:11.360 is when he, in response to Mark Carney's new cabinet,
00:00:15.120 just offhand said that maybe Carney and the Liberals should steal more of his ideas,
00:00:20.000 steal more Conservative ideas.
00:00:22.240 Because the way that the Conservatives are going to be able to market themselves
00:00:25.600 going forward into the next election is pointing out
00:00:28.280 every time the Liberals do something sensible,
00:00:30.820 it was a Conservative policy that the Conservatives have been pushing for years,
00:00:34.340 and whenever the Liberals do something bad,
00:00:36.540 it's because that's one of Mark Carney's original ideas,
00:00:39.440 like the HST-GST tax freeze.
00:00:42.540 Check this out right here.
00:00:43.700 I think it was a very good way of phrasing it.
00:00:46.740 Reassurances.
00:00:47.960 And we also have an offer to make the Liberals.
00:00:51.460 My message to Mr. Carney?
00:00:53.360 Steal my ideas.
00:00:55.180 We've got great ideas.
00:00:56.480 And we've been leading the charge on the debate over carbon taxes,
00:01:00.540 inflation, housing prices, crime, drugs, resource development.
00:01:05.980 And I know the Liberals even lifted a few of those ideas
00:01:08.960 and put them in their platform to get it re-elected.
00:01:11.080 We want to make sure that they were sincere about that.
00:01:13.260 And we're going to continue to put forward solid ideas
00:01:16.380 to make people's lives better every day.
00:01:19.460 Because our purpose is to bring home the promise of Canada,
00:01:23.460 that everyone who works hard gets a great life,
00:01:25.640 that anyone from anywhere can do anything,
00:01:27.480 where you get a nice, affordable home on a safe street.
00:01:31.560 Every day and in every day, every way,
00:01:34.000 we will fight for our people and our country,
00:01:35.960 to put people back in charge of their lives,
00:01:37.840 with bigger paychecks, abundant, affordable energy, home ownership.
00:01:41.560 Overall, I thought that was a really good eight-minute speech reaction
00:01:46.740 to Carney's new cabinet.
00:01:48.520 I will have it linked in the description below
00:01:50.640 and at the top of the comments if you guys want to watch the whole thing.
00:01:53.540 You know what I actually do also like from that clip?
00:01:56.480 I'm not trying to be rude.
00:01:57.440 I like how he stopped saying powerful paychecks and things like that.
00:02:01.120 I always hated those lines.
00:02:02.900 They were clunky.
00:02:03.780 I just felt the whole script falling apart
00:02:06.560 every time they started jamming in too many slogans,
00:02:09.780 saying having a nice home on a safe street is perfectly fine.
00:02:14.380 That's a very basic way of saying it.
00:02:15.920 Every time it became lost liberal decade,
00:02:18.280 powerful paychecks, build the homes,
00:02:21.280 it kind of started feeling like clunk, clunk.
00:02:24.780 And he did a really good job with that.
00:02:26.820 But now I want to jump over to the CBC,
00:02:29.940 who are very sour about Pierre Polyev
00:02:33.420 of, I guess, not bowing the knee to Mark Carney here.
00:02:36.280 Here is Rosemary Barton getting upset 0.60
00:02:38.600 that the Conservatives aren't cheering Carney on.
00:02:41.380 And talking about how he would not be opposing
00:02:44.700 the government reflexively,
00:02:46.780 that he would do things in the best interest of the country
00:02:50.360 and support the government in those issues,
00:02:52.880 and that he says he wants the country to succeed.
00:02:55.980 He then spent the next 15 minutes
00:02:58.220 talking about all the ministers who were there previously
00:03:02.260 and the things they did to ruin the country.
00:03:06.440 Naming particularly Sean Fraser and Stephen Gilbo,
00:03:10.080 taking some questions about how he will approach things
00:03:13.420 inside the House of Commons.
00:03:16.040 But overall, you know,
00:03:19.260 it started out in one tone and finished in another.
00:03:22.060 That's all I'll say.
00:03:22.780 Because you're actually not supposed to say anything.
00:03:26.880 I don't know what possesses Rosemary Barton 0.99
00:03:29.840 to think that she has paid for her opinion.
00:03:32.440 It's supposed to be a pure objective news show.
00:03:34.980 And she gets up and she's kind of casting aspersions
00:03:37.480 at Pierre Polyev,
00:03:39.160 the leader of the opposition,
00:03:41.140 whether he's in parliament or not,
00:03:43.280 having, you know,
00:03:44.880 an oppositional attitude towards the liberals.
00:03:46.780 And he didn't even do that.
00:03:48.080 He literally ended the press conference
00:03:50.440 before it went to questions
00:03:51.720 on his request
00:03:54.820 that the liberals steal more of the conservative ideas
00:03:57.660 and actually follow through
00:03:58.780 on the ones that they've already stolen.
00:04:00.440 If anything,
00:04:00.940 it was kind of a cheeky positive vibe at the end.
00:04:03.560 He leaned into attacking the people 0.90
00:04:06.960 that he thinks still represent,
00:04:09.420 don't represent change,
00:04:11.240 are still more of the Trudeau government,
00:04:12.800 and particularly don't represent
00:04:14.820 the things that he thinks Canadians want right now.
00:04:17.160 Yeah, cabinet is broken,
00:04:18.920 is essentially what he said, right?
00:04:20.140 It's not no longer Canada's broken.
00:04:21.700 He's saying this cabinet is not changed.
00:04:24.780 A silent approach from Mr. Polyev, Rosy,
00:04:26.980 that would suggest
00:04:27.540 it's almost as if he won the election
00:04:29.000 rather than lost the election
00:04:30.120 and lost his own seat.
00:04:31.620 You know, talking about
00:04:33.040 how he's going to stand there.
00:04:36.780 Okay, well, this is just becoming an attack
00:04:38.800 from somebody, again,
00:04:40.040 who pretends that he's an objective news anchor.
00:04:43.000 The thing is, Polyev is right
00:04:44.620 to kind of declare a small victory on this.
00:04:46.700 In fact, this is the rhetorical stand
00:04:49.140 that they should have been making
00:04:50.480 from the beginning.
00:04:52.120 The Polyev conservatives 1.00
00:04:53.040 would have been way better off
00:04:54.020 that when Carney was getting rid of the carbon tax,
00:04:56.940 at least temporarily,
00:04:57.920 saying that the consumer carbon tax rate
00:05:00.160 is now zero,
00:05:01.280 Polyev should have said,
00:05:02.340 you should cut the industrial carbon tax next,
00:05:04.900 but thank you for finally agreeing with us
00:05:07.160 after years of us saying
00:05:08.340 that we need to get rid of the carbon tax.
00:05:10.320 That's the rhetorical standpoint
00:05:12.780 I would have gone for
00:05:13.760 because it's both a jab and it's positive.
00:05:16.720 The whole idea is,
00:05:17.420 see, you guys agree with us.
00:05:19.080 You're giving Canadians social permission 0.99
00:05:21.320 to vote for us
00:05:22.100 because you're basically saying
00:05:23.260 our ideas are better than your ideas.
00:05:26.120 In defense of Canadians,
00:05:27.440 he'll only be able to stand there,
00:05:29.040 actually in the chamber behind him,
00:05:31.200 because of the goodwill
00:05:33.800 of the prime minister
00:05:34.820 who's going to call an early by-election
00:05:36.680 for Mr. Polyev
00:05:37.440 so he can run in one of his MP seats in Alberta
00:05:40.400 at the cost of close to $2 million
00:05:41.920 to have a by-election.
00:05:43.680 What is this, David Cochran?
00:05:45.540 Sorry, is $2 million
00:05:47.360 not worth allowing the opposition leader
00:05:50.760 to be in the House of Commons?
00:05:52.920 Is this not worthwhile?
00:05:55.300 We could have had a federal election earlier
00:05:57.220 if Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party
00:05:59.660 weren't farting around for months
00:06:01.300 trying to figure out
00:06:02.580 who the new leader is going to be.
00:06:03.800 They'd made the best tactical decision
00:06:05.300 that they could for themselves.
00:06:07.860 That's fine.
00:06:08.700 Polyev is making a tactical decision
00:06:10.500 that if he wants to actually
00:06:11.640 be able to sit in the House,
00:06:12.480 he's going to have one of his MPs stand down.
00:06:14.780 And by the way,
00:06:15.260 I've heard Damian Couric
00:06:16.240 actually has good personal reasons
00:06:17.620 to want a couple years break
00:06:19.120 before he comes back to that same seat.
00:06:21.760 But David Cochran is turning this all
00:06:23.600 into a really petty attack
00:06:25.780 and basically just saying
00:06:28.680 that he should be kissing the ring
00:06:30.000 of Mark Carney
00:06:30.620 because he's letting this by-election go forward.
00:06:32.740 Mark Carney,
00:06:34.620 if he refused to let this by-election go forward,
00:06:37.140 ASAP,
00:06:37.880 would get destroyed in the public opinion
00:06:40.720 because really you're not going to let,
00:06:43.120 you're going to wait the maximum of six months
00:06:45.100 before calling the by-election
00:06:46.260 because that's how it works in Canada.
00:06:47.740 If there's an open seat,
00:06:48.960 the Prime Minister can call a by-election
00:06:50.560 whatever he wants
00:06:51.340 or he must call it after six months.
00:06:54.220 Do you think that he wouldn't have
00:06:55.720 his popularity hit the floor
00:06:57.080 if he's basically demonstrating
00:06:59.120 he's terrified of Polyev 0.99
00:07:00.380 and wouldn't let him back into the House?
00:07:01.700 All while he stays in Stornoway throughout this.
00:07:04.860 So it's interesting that
00:07:05.780 given that sequence of events
00:07:07.280 and given those series of factors
00:07:08.580 that it was that kind of approach
00:07:10.160 and response to things there
00:07:11.720 from Mr. Polyev
00:07:13.260 going after Stephen Gibault
00:07:14.940 talking over the radical environmental agenda
00:07:17.100 blaming Sean Frazier
00:07:18.180 for the housing crisis
00:07:19.580 which is...
00:07:21.040 It's flipping accurate.
00:07:23.060 Let's be very clear.
00:07:24.320 It's accurate 0.99
00:07:25.000 because he sucks at his job. 0.92
00:07:26.580 Housing starts went down
00:07:27.620 with Sean Frazier
00:07:28.700 because Sean Frazier
00:07:29.720 did not care to get regulations
00:07:31.520 out of the way.
00:07:32.420 He went for blanket rezoning
00:07:33.600 on the municipal level
00:07:34.720 which doesn't actually make it easier to build.
00:07:36.960 It just means you can build bigger things
00:07:38.720 if you ever do get that permit to build.
00:07:41.420 It's basically a bribe to developers saying,
00:07:43.720 okay, we're not going to get rid of...
00:07:45.360 Like, we're not going to get all the regulators
00:07:47.960 and bureaucrats
00:07:49.120 who manage the bloated housing system
00:07:52.100 out of your way to build.
00:07:53.520 But once you do build,
00:07:55.100 you can build a triplex
00:07:56.060 rather than just a single-family detached house.
00:08:00.020 That was his plan
00:08:01.160 and housing starts went down
00:08:03.360 because that wasn't actually a plan
00:08:04.880 to get more houses built.
00:08:05.940 That's just a plan
00:08:06.900 to get more bloated housing built
00:08:09.280 at a similar slow rate.
00:08:12.640 Sean Frazier's in...
00:08:13.340 I don't think he's 40 yet
00:08:14.680 or he's just 40.
00:08:15.500 I don't think he caused the housing crisis in Canada.
00:08:17.880 There's a whole bunch of layers
00:08:18.940 and effects of that.
00:08:21.060 Layers and effects.
00:08:22.040 It doesn't matter that Sean Frazier
00:08:23.720 and Justin Trudeau
00:08:24.780 and housing ministers before him
00:08:26.500 and the liberal government
00:08:27.420 were deeply incompetent.
00:08:28.920 He's not even 40 years old
00:08:30.620 or he just turned 40.
00:08:32.040 How could he have done it?
00:08:33.160 He wasn't around for Watergate.
00:08:35.160 What is this?
00:08:36.060 Again, like, I don't know
00:08:37.160 what he's trying to do here
00:08:39.120 other than be a massive political hack,
00:08:42.300 but that's not real.
00:08:43.060 That's kind of par for the course
00:08:44.300 for David Cochran at this point.
00:08:46.700 The CBC obviously
00:08:47.740 really doesn't like the conservatives.
00:08:49.660 I don't know how anyone
00:08:50.820 watches these people.
00:08:52.040 And thinks they are objective news reporters.
00:08:54.400 They are obviously extremely biased.
00:08:57.640 But anyways,
00:08:58.220 I'm not going to belabor this video.
00:08:59.980 That's it for this one, guys.
00:09:01.400 I think Polyev is on a really good
00:09:03.080 new rhetorical track here.
00:09:05.140 CBC obviously does not like it,
00:09:07.200 which means it's probably working.
00:09:08.960 And we will see what's going to happen
00:09:10.580 in the coming months
00:09:11.500 once Polyev gets back
00:09:12.560 into the House of Commons.
00:09:13.320 I assume it will be quite fun
00:09:15.640 because I don't see Mark Carney
00:09:17.720 really improving anything in particular.
00:09:20.000 And I think it's going to become
00:09:21.340 very, you know, flashy quite quickly
00:09:23.960 with all the failures
00:09:25.080 starting to come through the door
00:09:25.960 because the cabinet Mark Carney picked
00:09:27.620 legitimately is just quadrupling down
00:09:30.260 on the exact same stupid stuff
00:09:31.680 Trudeau was doing before.
00:09:32.780 There's like a couple people
00:09:34.100 in his cabinet.
00:09:34.640 I can say, fair enough.
00:09:36.480 That seems like a good pick.
00:09:38.180 But then you have Sean Frazier
00:09:39.140 as Attorney General,
00:09:40.300 the guy who messed up in housing
00:09:41.600 and immigration already.
00:09:43.800 What do you think is going to happen?
00:09:45.880 Anyways, so that's it for me, guys.
00:09:48.120 Make sure to like the video,
00:09:49.260 subscribe to the channel
00:09:50.040 if you're not a subscriber,
00:09:51.240 and leave a comment.
00:09:52.760 I will be back either later today
00:09:54.600 or tomorrow.
00:09:55.720 I have this ridiculous story
00:09:57.240 of a BC conservative MLA
00:09:59.140 attacking me down at the ledge
00:10:01.400 in Victoria in British Columbia
00:10:03.160 because we didn't vote with them
00:10:05.900 on some bill or whatever
00:10:08.540 that was extremely stupid
00:10:10.400 both on the yes or no side.
00:10:11.860 I work for one of the independents
00:10:13.620 and we decided that the only smart move
00:10:16.320 in this stupid game
00:10:17.300 was not to play
00:10:18.160 because both the conservatives
00:10:19.860 and the NDP
00:10:20.560 were basically all rah, rah, rah
00:10:22.400 in favor of big government
00:10:24.060 in their own separate ways.
00:10:26.620 So anyways, that's it.
00:10:28.100 See you guys later.
