00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. If you've been following this channel for a while, you're probably well aware of the fact I talk a lot about political messaging.
00:00:09.760 And although I am a conservative, I talk a lot about the political messaging that comes from Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:00:17.480 I explain what they're attempting to do, and often why it is not working.
00:00:21.820 And there is a new pullout I have for you that proves my point that everything the Liberals have been doing to attack pure poly and the Conservatives, or even just promote themselves, has not just been ineffective.
00:00:34.620 It's been completely counterproductive, because the top issues in Canada driving how people are going to vote do not lean towards the Liberals or the NDP at all, or at least in significant ways.
00:00:46.860 Again, it is a first-past-the-post system, so really you just want the plurality of people to agree with you on the issues that are driving votes.
00:00:55.940 And the Liberals aren't even in the top three these days.
00:00:59.700 Back when pure poly first became the Conservative leader, you could say that when you ranked what people thought as their big issues, the Liberals would usually be up at the top end of that list.
00:01:12.000 You know, in the top three issues, maybe one to two of them were issues that advantaged the way that the Liberals talk about the issue, or at least their policies on it.
00:01:23.220 These days, it's a complete wipeout for them.
00:01:26.220 There's nothing in the top that advantages the Liberals.
00:01:29.100 I'm about to get into that, but before we do, I'm going to remind you that if you don't currently subscribe to this channel, please hit that subscribe button.
00:01:36.080 Keep following our future videos, you know, like this video, leave a comment, all that good stuff.
00:01:41.240 I just mention it because 75% of people who watch my videos are not current subscribers.
00:01:46.280 Anyways, now let's get into it.
00:01:48.460 So I'm just starting this off with the top two issues.
00:01:51.500 These ones are pretty obvious.
00:01:53.260 Jobs and economy, 15% of people say that's their top issue, and 13% of people say healthcare.
00:01:59.320 One could argue maybe healthcare kind of advantages the NDP and the Liberals.
00:02:04.080 I've heard that from someone yesterday, but the problem with making that assumption is that just because in the past, healthcare might be a better issue for the Liberals than the Conservatives, does not mean it's going to be a good issue for them going into this next election, especially since most people who care about healthcare a lot these days believe that there needs to be reform in the system, and that's what the Conservatives represent.
00:02:28.880 Okay, but now let's go down a little bit further.
00:02:31.360 I'll go one by one here now.
00:02:32.700 Now, inflation, 9%.
00:02:34.880 Nobody picking inflation is voting NDP or Liberal.
00:02:39.700 They keep blaming corporations for inflation, that it's actually the evil grocery store chain owners that are arbitrarily raising the price of peanut butter, crackers, and bananas. 0.99
00:02:50.120 It's foolish. 0.97
00:02:51.220 It's only a socialist would believe that. 0.97
00:02:53.340 So I would guarantee you 7%, 6% of that 9% are saying they're voting conservative.
00:02:59.360 Maybe even 1% of it might be PPC, because those people tend to be very fiscally conservative and do think that inflation is a top issue.
00:03:07.160 And in general, economics and jobs and inflation are all going to be very conservative type issues to be caring about going into the next election, especially considering that if you're a Liberal, you're disproportionately going to be a federal government employee, and you have no problem with the current jobs, the jobs performance of the Liberal government, because they keep hiring more and more people into the public service and raising their wages.
00:03:31.500 Okay, the next one, housing, 9%.
00:03:34.880 You could say this one's a little bit more mixed, because younger people might care about housing, and that might help out the NDP.
00:03:41.600 But again, although the Liberals keep pushing for their housing plan, the housing issue, as they've been polling what people think the issue is, it usually tends to be the complaint that the Conservatives levy against the current Housing Administration across Canada, is that there is too many regulations, too many codes, too many environmental inspections that need to be done, too many taxes in order to build a house.
00:04:03.460 And that if we clear away some of the stuff, that doesn't mean getting rid of zoning laws, zoning laws were never a problem before, they're not a problem now.
00:04:09.940 But if we get rid of a lot of the other regulations and government hoops that you have to jump through, we could make housing more affordable.
00:04:16.220 That would also play into immigration.
00:04:18.800 Okay, let's get down to the next one.
00:04:20.300 Immigration, you know, speak of the devil right there. 1.00
00:04:23.000 Mass immigration is not popular.
00:04:24.900 And right now, the only party that is actually significantly talking about cutting immigration other than the PPC, and I'll talk about them eventually in a video on how Maxime Bernier squandered his chance to actually be popular in Canada, that this is a very conservative coded issue these days.
00:04:40.580 Yes, the Liberals just cut immigration by 100,000, which might buoy them up a little bit in Quebec.
00:04:46.120 But in general, if you're in Quebec and you're anti-immigration, you're either voting conservative or bloc quebecois before you're considering voting liberal.
00:04:53.900 The Liberals only made the immigration cuts recently, which was only about a cut of 100,000 people, because if they didn't, they would be even further in the hole than they currently are today.
00:05:03.440 This is another one that heavily advantages the Conservatives.
00:05:06.620 Now, we're about to hit the first one that you can genuinely say advantages Liberals or the NDP, environment.
00:05:14.140 Because, yes, there are Conservatives who care about the environment, they care about actual conservation, they just aren't climate change alarmists.
00:05:21.720 This one, probably one or two percent of people who said environment might be Conservative voters.
00:05:27.900 I generally think it's probably mostly NDP, Liberal, and Green voters who care about the environment.
00:05:34.160 But that's the first one on the list that the Liberals actually care about.
00:05:38.880 And these are in order of support, even though there are two nines and two sevens.
00:05:42.600 It's usually whichever one had, like, the higher decimal point.
00:05:45.660 We have to go six issues deep before it's an issue that the Liberals are decisively more comfortable talking about than the Conservatives.
00:05:54.820 This was not how it was even a year ago.
00:05:57.200 Environment actually used to punch in at 14 percent or 13 percent or 12, which would make it one of the top issues.
00:06:04.900 There was other issues around health care would be much higher.
00:06:08.000 And I think that health care has fallen over time because more people who care about protecting the universal system have gone away.
00:06:15.800 And they realize it's more of a government efficiency and management question.
00:06:19.400 So maybe health care on this list still technically advantages the Liberals, but it's too much of a mixed issue to really say the Liberals have the advantage,
00:06:27.060 especially since they are the current governing establishment.
00:06:30.780 And any problems that you could peg on the government would be going after the Liberals for the issues.
00:06:36.340 You can't say that they're the solution when they've been the problem for nine years.
00:06:40.380 Yes, it's a provincial issue, but, you know, they're sitting in the jacuzzi with the provinces.
00:06:45.440 They could help make reforms.
00:06:47.180 They could help allow for provinces to have more private options to sort of lighten the load on the public system.
00:06:52.920 They don't let it.
00:06:53.860 Let's go down to another one, debt and deficits.
00:06:56.100 There's not a single Liberal or NDP voter who cares about debt and deficits.
00:07:00.060 Let's be clear.
00:07:00.580 That's a Conservative issue.
00:07:02.220 Homelessness.
00:07:02.980 You could say that one goes for the NDP and the Liberals because Conservatives probably consider it a housing issue,
00:07:08.400 whereas the NDP and Liberals would consider it a homelessness issue,
00:07:12.280 that we have not provided enough affordable housing.
00:07:14.960 We have not provided enough shelter space, even though it's usually left-wing municipal policies
00:07:20.540 that end up encouraging people to basically camp out on the streets, which then makes it, you know, it stick.
00:07:26.680 They're now permanently there because there's never a push to move them off.
00:07:31.940 And the last one, high taxes, Conservative one.
00:07:34.380 Extremism, 2%.
00:07:35.720 You could say that goes either way because you're going to have a bunch of really nuts Liberal and NDP people saying, 0.97
00:07:41.520 well, we have to stop the maple, mega, crazy Conservative extremists. 0.58
00:07:46.280 But then you'd have some Conservatives, rightfully so, saying, no, the real extremism issue is like Hamas on our streets. 0.99
00:07:53.360 The Liberals are in a deep hole.
00:07:55.500 That's really what I'm trying to get at here, and I'm pretty sure you got that point.
00:07:59.320 Here's some other things from the Leger poll.
00:08:02.340 And the thing is, this Leger poll is not even as hawkish on the Conservatives as other polls.
00:08:07.080 They only give the Conservatives a 16% lead, which is good.
00:08:10.240 That's still a majority government easily territory.
00:08:13.660 But I'm not just picking a poll out that was like 22% for the Conservatives, although those are pretty common these days.
00:08:19.700 This one was a little milder on them, and I believe it's because they have a slightly more urban mix of people they're polling.
00:08:26.020 But look at that, total satisfaction, 27%.
00:08:29.780 There has not been a government in Canadian history with this low of a satisfaction rate that got back into office.
00:08:37.280 And 5%, only 5% of people are very satisfied.
00:08:41.160 This poll had 27% of people saying they were voting Liberal.
00:08:45.980 And 5% of people in this poll said very satisfied, which means basically the rest of them are only saying they're somewhat satisfied, who are voting for the incumbent government.
00:08:56.500 That's nuts.
00:08:57.840 Somewhat dissatisfied or totally dissatisfied?
00:09:01.560 68% of people are dissatisfied.
00:09:04.080 That's crazy.
00:09:05.560 And look at this.
00:09:06.680 Let's go to the Conservatives, or if I, yeah, here's the party affiliations.
00:09:10.160 76% of Liberals say that they're very satisfied with the current government or Justin Trudeau's government.
00:09:18.020 Somewhat satisfied or, no, very satisfied was only 17%.
00:09:21.500 Somewhat satisfied is 58%.
00:09:23.540 That's insane.
00:09:25.800 That's actually just nuts that you can't get that many people.
00:09:28.980 And then you even have the NDP, who 71% of them are somewhat or very unsatisfied.
00:09:34.240 They're coalition partners, and it doesn't matter if Jagmeet Singh ripped up the supply and convince deal.
00:09:40.320 They're still coalition partners, and the vast majority of NDP people are against them. 0.95
00:09:45.140 This is just ridiculous.
00:09:47.160 The dissatisfaction rate, in fact, like basically fell after the 21 election, and especially last year.
00:09:54.020 Justin Trudeau has been below 30% for most of the time.
00:09:58.360 There's no recovering from this.
00:10:00.440 And it's because the Liberals don't know how to talk to Canadians anymore.
00:10:03.780 And this is what I'm getting back to.
00:10:05.500 Him trying to jab Pure Poly because did you know some of your CPC MPs requested their communities could get some housing accelerator fund money?
00:10:14.400 Who's voting because of that?
00:10:16.000 Who's like, oh, man, Michael Cooper asked if his community up in Edmonton can get some housing accelerator fund money?
00:10:23.520 That's not the gotcha you think it is.
00:10:25.520 If money is being spent by the government, which MP is going to say, yeah, we don't want any of it? 0.95
00:10:29.700 Even if it's inefficient spending, even if it's a stupid bloated program, no MP is just going to say, yeah, we don't want it. 0.96
00:10:36.780 That's just not how politics works. 0.96
00:10:38.860 There's a lot of people who, frankly, don't understand how politics works, and they just assume that, like, and this is basically what the Liberals are feeding into,
00:10:46.260 that if you are against the program, that you reject the program, you shun the program, you want nothing to do with it.
00:10:52.300 That's not how it works.
00:10:53.580 You are going to try and get your constituents the most taxpayer money spent in their area as humanly possible.
00:11:00.460 Even if you disagree with the programs, you're not just going to say we don't want any of it because we disagree with it.
00:11:04.900 If the money is being spent, you want it.
00:11:07.360 Albertans, like myself, want less overall government spending.
00:11:10.840 That's also why when the Liberals fearmonger against conservative cuts, they're only scaring people with a good time.
00:11:16.480 But I want government spending reduced, but I also want more money spent in Alberta because it's silly that we pay massive amounts of money in taxes,
00:11:24.600 and through equalization, a disproportionate amount of our money is then spent in other parts of Canada.
00:11:30.620 That doesn't mean that we're hypocrites because we want more money spent here.
00:11:33.520 We're saying if you're going to spend it, at least somewhat spend it on us.
00:11:37.760 I'm just going to quickly check if there is any more Liberal advertisements I can talk about here.
00:11:42.140 I don't think there really has been anything with the Liberals.
00:11:46.320 Oh, God, this one looks fun.
00:11:48.160 Oh, okay.
00:11:48.900 Okay, guys, we're going to feed it in at the end here.
00:11:51.180 I know people like when the videos go on a bit longer.
00:11:54.100 But maybe I'll do this before we get into it.
00:11:56.580 Quickly plugging it.
00:11:57.680 If you guys want to support the show, please donate to the Give, Send, Go legal fund.
00:12:02.100 I have in the description of the video below.
00:12:04.860 It's also pinned at the top of the comments.
00:12:07.440 And my website, my personal website, wyatclaypool.com, is also there.
00:12:11.160 So if you want to donate, you can go through the Give, Send, Go.
00:12:13.480 And if you just want to help out or if you want to sign up on my website to basically get nomination and leadership recommendations around the country,
00:12:21.260 sign up there and it allows me to target nomination endorsements and leadership endorsements to your specific province or even specific riding.
00:12:29.980 Anyways, now without further ado, here is a new Liberal ad, which I believe, and again, I'm going into this sight unseen.
00:12:37.840 Let's see what the Liberals are trying to say to Canadians to get them back.
00:12:41.620 If you want to do big things, people will always say it can't be done.
00:12:46.300 When Liberals said they wanted to tackle child poverty in Canada, people said it couldn't be done.
00:12:51.500 Oh my God, they're actually citing Vox.
00:12:53.900 I've noticed as the Liberals have become weaker in the polls, as they've fallen apart,
00:12:59.680 they start citing more and more fringe left-wing publications to say nice things about them.
00:13:05.080 So this is also an article from 2020.
00:13:07.580 It's been a while.
00:13:08.520 Maybe Vox should be informed that food bank usage is at record highs right now.
00:13:14.320 It says, how have Canada lifted nearly 300,000 kids out of poverty in a single year?
00:13:19.220 You know how they did it?
00:13:20.440 They didn't do it.
00:13:22.160 They just changed metrics for what counts as child poverty.
00:13:26.400 Oh, well, we have hygiene products in our bathrooms now, in the boys' bathrooms too.
00:13:31.540 Child poverty has been reduced.
00:13:32.800 More kids than ever have internet access.
00:13:35.580 Child poverty has been reduced.
00:13:36.980 And it's a lot of things that would have been solved anyways over time with better technology
00:13:41.200 and has nothing to do with poverty.
00:13:43.360 Like, in fact, it would mean that when the economy was great in 2005, there was more child poverty
00:13:49.240 because don't you know not every kid had a cell phone?
00:13:51.820 That's how they started measuring child poverty, through silly niche metrics that don't actually
00:13:56.640 tell you is the kid's family financially solvent.
00:13:59.880 Because if that was the metric, actual poverty was the metric for child poverty, we would
00:14:05.680 be at record highs for child poverty.
00:14:07.640 But we've just decided not to do that.
00:14:09.320 But they'll cite Vox now, and they'll cite Palt MTL, which is a complete rag that just
00:14:15.380 puts out propaganda for the liberals. 0.97
00:14:17.620 Palt MTL keeps putting out the same stupid article saying that nobody likes pure poly and 0.99
00:14:22.220 he's unpopular. 0.98
00:14:23.140 Did you know that he has a net negative popularity?
00:14:27.240 Because it's like his popularity is like a net negative of like one.
00:14:30.600 It's like, okay, Justin Trudeau has a net negative popularity rating of negative 25.
00:14:35.620 What's your point?
00:14:36.780 None.
00:14:37.180 When they said they wanted to create a national affordable child care system, people said
00:14:41.660 it couldn't be done.
00:14:43.180 And they were right.
00:14:44.600 Great call from the people who said it couldn't be done because it hasn't.
00:14:47.880 Well, it's created tens of thousands of new spaces.
00:14:50.380 No, it hasn't.
00:14:50.980 It hasn't at all.
00:14:53.120 And if it has, it's just subsidized spaces that were already being created.
00:14:56.940 In the short amount of time the child care program has been around, there has not been
00:15:01.820 enough time for new daycares to open.
00:15:03.860 They are simply recategorizing old spaces as being new affordable spaces.
00:15:08.940 It's not affordable.
00:15:09.960 It's a massive taxpayer boondoggle to pay for very few people to get slightly cheaper
00:15:15.020 child care.
00:15:15.720 And somebody can say, well, that helps me out.
00:15:17.800 Well, that was great.
00:15:18.460 It did help me out.
00:15:19.180 Wow, if every taxpayer gave me a bunch of money every year, it would help me out a lot.
00:15:23.980 But that's not the point of tax dollars.
00:15:26.320 It's not to disproportionately help a small group of people to the detriment of everyone
00:15:30.980 else.
00:15:31.500 Or the logical conclusion of that is bankrupting everybody for a singular king to make sure
00:15:37.140 that he doesn't suffer at all throughout his entire life.
00:15:40.460 And I'm not trying to compare parents to kings or monarchs here.
00:15:43.900 But you get my point.
00:15:45.820 Everyone would be better off if we just cut taxes, not making everyone worse off, but
00:15:51.340 then kind of giving some benefits to some people to buoy them up a little bit more.
00:15:56.500 They said they wanted to bring in a national dental care program.
00:15:59.700 People said it couldn't be done.
00:16:01.440 And it hasn't been done.
00:16:03.360 Some people use the dental care, but most people already had dental care before this.
00:16:07.740 And the people who didn't go to the dentist before the dental care program still don't
00:16:11.180 go to the dentist because dental care insurance didn't really cost them much.
00:16:15.220 It was nice for a lot of people who never really thought of getting dental care insurance
00:16:18.840 and now they're using it.
00:16:19.900 And maybe it's cheaper than their previous plan because it's a subsidized plan.
00:16:23.400 But what this is going to do in the long run is just make there be less spaces for dentists
00:16:28.960 because it's going to artificially underpay dentists for their services. 0.99
00:16:32.600 This is what Obamacare did in the U.S. 0.71
00:16:34.540 Frankly, this is about universal health care.
00:16:36.280 The way we've implemented it, unlike the European countries, has done to Canada.
00:16:41.180 This doesn't pay well to be a doctor here.
00:16:42.940 So doctors and nurses go elsewhere.
00:16:44.280 People will always say it can't be done, but we are getting a lot done together.
00:16:53.880 And it's just gaslighting.
00:16:55.640 Nobody's going to look at this and be like, wow, we, they really have gotten stuff done,
00:16:59.600 boy, howdy.
00:17:00.340 They're just going to be like, no, I'm worse off.
00:17:02.980 Stop lying to me.
00:17:04.140 And this is what they're doing.
00:17:05.220 It's just happy, clappy.
00:17:07.340 Wow, isn't everything great because we passed a program?
00:17:10.260 Or it's, man, those conservatives want to cut stuff.
00:17:12.960 Well, 65%, 62% of people think we spend too much.
00:17:17.280 So like, that's not a good line to use.
00:17:19.660 Or saying that the liberal, they're now saying the NDP are climate deniers because even Jagmeet
00:17:24.080 Singh's against the consumer carbon tax these days.
00:17:26.520 It's not going to fly.
00:17:27.980 Even with the NDP's hyper-progressive voter base, they're not going to leave the NDP because
00:17:33.860 suddenly Jagmeet Singh doesn't want a consumer carbon tax.
00:17:37.040 Because at the end of the day, everyone's wallets realize that, you know, it needs to
00:17:41.940 go.
00:17:42.800 People will whine about it, but they'll secretly be happy because their gas costs less and their
00:17:47.080 heating costs less.
00:17:48.440 You really can't short circuit public opinion.
00:17:51.240 People either like the economy or they don't.
00:17:53.760 And dissatisfaction ratings are crazy.
00:17:56.580 Yes, the media every once in a while will pay a polling company to pull.
00:18:00.700 Do you like the dental care program?
00:18:02.820 Oh, yes.
00:18:03.340 Yes, I like the dental care program is going to be like the general result.
00:18:06.240 65% of people say they like the dental care program.
00:18:09.160 Okay.
00:18:10.340 But if someone cuts the dental care program one day, is anyone actually going to vote against
00:18:13.840 the party that does it?
00:18:15.400 No, not really.
00:18:16.300 Because not many people really use it anyways.
00:18:18.440 People already had their own dental insurance.
00:18:20.380 And it's also severely overestimating how many people are even accessing it.
00:18:24.740 Basically, because everyone qualifies for it, anyone who will go to the dentist since the
00:18:30.180 program came into effect is counted as somebody who received universal dental care because
00:18:35.160 they technically could have used it even though their other insurance is better anyways.
00:18:39.440 Oh, my goodness. 1.00
00:18:40.140 It's still so stupid. 1.00
00:18:41.740 And you still have to pay for the dental care when you go. 1.00
00:18:43.800 You still have to pay for it.
00:18:44.720 It still works like other insurance.
00:18:45.920 It's not just free.
00:18:46.920 You still have to pay the deductible.
00:18:48.540 That's how all insurances always work.
00:18:50.320 Dental insurance per month is like $27, $25 if you package it along with your other insurance.
00:18:55.360 When you consider the cost on the average taxpayer for the dental care, you're probably paying
00:19:00.100 that anyways.
00:19:01.000 So effectively, the government just forced everyone who didn't have dental care to go
00:19:04.080 buy it.
00:19:05.600 Oh, my goodness.
00:19:06.640 Anyways, that's it for me today, guys.
00:19:08.620 I'll see you guys later.
