In this video, Wyatt Claypool explains why the current political messaging coming from the Liberal Party of Canada is not working, and why they need to change their messaging. He goes over the top three most popular issues in Canada, and how they are not helping either party in the next election.
00:00:00.000Hey 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.
00:00:09.760And although I am a conservative, I talk a lot about the political messaging that comes from Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:00:17.480I explain what they're attempting to do, and often why it is not working.
00:00:21.820And 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.
00:00:34.620It'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.
00:00:46.860Again, 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.
00:00:55.940And the Liberals aren't even in the top three these days.
00:00:59.700Back 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.
00:01:12.000You 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.
00:01:23.220These days, it's a complete wipeout for them.
00:01:26.220There's nothing in the top that advantages the Liberals.
00:01:29.100I'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.
00:01:36.080Keep following our future videos, you know, like this video, leave a comment, all that good stuff.
00:01:41.240I just mention it because 75% of people who watch my videos are not current subscribers.
00:01:53.260Jobs and economy, 15% of people say that's their top issue, and 13% of people say healthcare.
00:01:59.320One could argue maybe healthcare kind of advantages the NDP and the Liberals.
00:02:04.080I'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.
00:02:28.880Okay, but now let's go down a little bit further.
00:02:34.880Nobody picking inflation is voting NDP or Liberal.
00:02:39.700They 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.
00:02:51.220It's only a socialist would believe that.
00:02:53.340So I would guarantee you 7%, 6% of that 9% are saying they're voting conservative.
00:02:59.360Maybe 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.
00:03:07.160And 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.
00:03:34.880You could say this one's a little bit more mixed, because younger people might care about housing, and that might help out the NDP.
00:03:41.600But 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.
00:04:03.460And 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.
00:04:09.940But 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.
00:04:16.220That would also play into immigration.
00:04:24.900And 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.
00:04:40.580Yes, the Liberals just cut immigration by 100,000, which might buoy them up a little bit in Quebec.
00:04:46.120But 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.
00:04:53.900The 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.
00:05:03.440This is another one that heavily advantages the Conservatives.
00:05:06.620Now, we're about to hit the first one that you can genuinely say advantages Liberals or the NDP, environment.
00:05:14.140Because, yes, there are Conservatives who care about the environment, they care about actual conservation, they just aren't climate change alarmists.
00:05:21.720This one, probably one or two percent of people who said environment might be Conservative voters.
00:05:27.900I generally think it's probably mostly NDP, Liberal, and Green voters who care about the environment.
00:05:34.160But that's the first one on the list that the Liberals actually care about.
00:05:38.880And these are in order of support, even though there are two nines and two sevens.
00:05:42.600It's usually whichever one had, like, the higher decimal point.
00:05:45.660We have to go six issues deep before it's an issue that the Liberals are decisively more comfortable talking about than the Conservatives.
00:05:54.820This was not how it was even a year ago.
00:05:57.200Environment actually used to punch in at 14 percent or 13 percent or 12, which would make it one of the top issues.
00:06:04.900There was other issues around health care would be much higher.
00:06:08.000And I think that health care has fallen over time because more people who care about protecting the universal system have gone away.
00:06:15.800And they realize it's more of a government efficiency and management question.
00:06:19.400So 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,
00:06:27.060especially since they are the current governing establishment.
00:06:30.780And any problems that you could peg on the government would be going after the Liberals for the issues.
00:06:36.340You can't say that they're the solution when they've been the problem for nine years.
00:06:40.380Yes, it's a provincial issue, but, you know, they're sitting in the jacuzzi with the provinces.
00:07:55.500That's really what I'm trying to get at here, and I'm pretty sure you got that point.
00:07:59.320Here's some other things from the Leger poll.
00:08:02.340And the thing is, this Leger poll is not even as hawkish on the Conservatives as other polls.
00:08:07.080They only give the Conservatives a 16% lead, which is good.
00:08:10.240That's still a majority government easily territory.
00:08:13.660But I'm not just picking a poll out that was like 22% for the Conservatives, although those are pretty common these days.
00:08:19.700This 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.
00:08:26.020But look at that, total satisfaction, 27%.
00:08:29.780There has not been a government in Canadian history with this low of a satisfaction rate that got back into office.
00:08:37.280And 5%, only 5% of people are very satisfied.
00:08:41.160This poll had 27% of people saying they were voting Liberal.
00:08:45.980And 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.
00:10:05.500Him trying to jab Pure Poly because did you know some of your CPC MPs requested their communities could get some housing accelerator fund money?
00:10:38.860There'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,
00:10:46.260that if you are against the program, that you reject the program, you shun the program, you want nothing to do with it.
00:10:53.580You are going to try and get your constituents the most taxpayer money spent in their area as humanly possible.
00:11:00.460Even 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.
00:11:04.900If the money is being spent, you want it.
00:11:07.360Albertans, like myself, want less overall government spending.
00:11:10.840That's also why when the Liberals fearmonger against conservative cuts, they're only scaring people with a good time.
00:11:16.480But 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,
00:11:24.600and through equalization, a disproportionate amount of our money is then spent in other parts of Canada.
00:11:30.620That doesn't mean that we're hypocrites because we want more money spent here.
00:11:33.520We're saying if you're going to spend it, at least somewhat spend it on us.
00:11:37.760I'm just going to quickly check if there is any more Liberal advertisements I can talk about here.
00:11:42.140I don't think there really has been anything with the Liberals.
00:11:57.680If you guys want to support the show, please donate to the Give, Send, Go legal fund.

00:12:29.980Anyways, now without further ado, here is a new Liberal ad, which I believe, and again, I'm going into this sight unseen.
00:12:37.840Let's see what the Liberals are trying to say to Canadians to get them back.
00:12:41.620If you want to do big things, people will always say it can't be done.
00:12:46.300When Liberals said they wanted to tackle child poverty in Canada, people said it couldn't be done.
00:12:51.500Oh my God, they're actually citing Vox.
00:12:53.900I've noticed as the Liberals have become weaker in the polls, as they've fallen apart,
00:12:59.680they start citing more and more fringe left-wing publications to say nice things about them.
