The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Progressive Hypocrisy Peaks As Trudeau Crushes The Poor

00:00:00.000 hello everyone i just wanted to do a quick stream or not really quick if i'm doing the stream it's

00:00:08.640 going to take a long time but i wanted to do a stream today because every once in a while i look

00:00:13.120 at the sort of topics i can make videos about and then i settle on the idea that really i'm not going

00:00:18.560 to get to any of them unless i just do a big stream and talk about all of them because each

00:00:22.480 one maybe i can make a video on it or it's going to be only end up being like a couple minutes

00:00:27.280 because it's not really my take on it isn't going to be exactly revolutionary in any way shape or form

00:00:33.120 so i'm just deciding to do uh this right now where i just sort of like do the like do this all in the

00:00:40.160 form of a stream uh and then i can cover all the topics at once and then you guys can also ask

00:00:45.200 questions and we can have a bit of a fun back and forth that's why i always like to do live streams

00:00:50.240 a lot of people like to jump on and throw in questions that i've never thought of even answering

00:00:54.400 in the video so i get to talk about that but so i'll just sort of keep rambling a little bit

00:01:00.480 while people slowly filter in because again i don't really do announced live streams so

00:01:04.960 uh i'll wait until there's at least you know 15 or 20 people watching uh usually it jumps up pretty

00:01:10.560 fast but the general topics of tonight were going to kind of be that marathon voting session that had

00:01:16.160 taken place yesterday in parliament sort of the scandal going on with jody gondek in calgary

00:01:22.560 calgary's mayor jody gondek of course if you're not familiar with her i want to talk a little bit

00:01:27.280 about the handong chinese interference scandal he of course is the independent mp for danforth north

00:01:34.320 but obviously he used to be a liberal until a lot of information about him and his connections to

00:01:39.360 chinese government started popping up uh and there's an inquiry that's effectively being already uh skewed

00:01:45.920 in favor of the liberal government's narrative by not giving intervener status to the conservative

00:01:51.520 party and not letting them actually cross-examine witnesses and ask questions only a few conservative

00:01:57.120 mps or witnesses are allowed to testify at this inquiry uh no one's actually allowed they're not

00:02:02.720 actually allowed to you know hold anyone accountable and ask questions under oath which is kind of the

00:02:07.520 whole deal with being intervener like the conservative party was literally targeted every single

00:02:13.600 targeted mp of like eight that we know of we're all conservatives yet the conservative party doesn't get

00:02:18.320 to ask any questions this thing is obviously being engineered a lot like the freedom convoy

00:02:23.040 uh sort of inquiry that had happened where it's basically just going to push the conservative the

00:02:28.320 liberals narrative and everything else is basically just going to be left at the roadside um but where

00:02:36.720 i want to start off with this and it kind of turns and it sort of hinges on my point that i've baked

00:02:42.720 into the title of this video is about the liberals crushing the poor because what we're hearing about

00:02:47.840 this like sort of voting marathon that's going on right now in parliament is that like don't know

00:02:55.600 how to say this exactly but basically that somehow the conservatives are voting against every single

00:03:02.560 sympathetic group in the country they're voting against resources for first nations people they're

00:03:07.440 voting against resources for the poor they're voting against the military they're voting against the

00:03:11.920 police when really it's just that the liberals are baking in a bunch of bad spending into what could

00:03:18.960 be good spending bills and they're having the conservatives oppose them the conservatives are

00:03:23.360 also opposing them uh basically because they want to get all of the carbon tax across the country they want

00:03:30.800 to get the entire carbon tax frozen for now that people shouldn't have to pay it while everyone's

00:03:35.760 financially hurting if people in the maritimes don't have to pay it on their heater oil and the liberals are

00:03:41.120 then trying to counter by saying well why are you holding up a vote on resources for first nations

00:03:46.080 people it's an incredibly cynical thing to do and when you actually look at the liberals voting record

00:03:52.320 and just record on terms of policy of helping poor people it's been horrible there's a reason why our

00:03:58.320 per capita income has been going down in this country it's not just because of high immigration it's also

00:04:03.440 just because of the high cost of living and the stagnating wages of people as the actual costs of housing and

00:04:10.800 food have been going up uh i'll jump over to ali uh bardia right now why should we vote for you so

00:04:17.520 i guess that's a great question to start off with well there's not too many people here

00:04:21.200 uh it's also great to front load this to the start of the video uh when there's you know some people

00:04:26.080 might be re-watching the live stream after it's done but obviously i'm running for or not obviously

00:04:31.040 if you don't know it yet i'm running for the calgary signal hill conservative party nomination calgary

00:04:36.240 signal hill kind of being on the west side of the city uh it's been a very very long time

00:04:40.880 conservative alliance and reform riding i don't think it's ever been liberal since it's been created

00:04:46.560 uh but with the or maybe back in like the 18 like the 1920s or something like that but it's been a very

00:04:52.320 long time since liberals are ever competitive around this area i'm running against like 12 other people

00:04:56.800 right now and kind of the problem that we end up having in this area of the city is that you get a lot

00:05:03.600 of people who they would run if they were as a liberal if the liberals had a chance but they

00:05:09.040 don't so they end up running as conservatives you get a lot of people in these strong conservative

00:05:12.800 ridings who i would say have hoa personalities not trying to be rude to anyone but there's people who

00:05:17.920 would serve on any board if it was available it's not it's not a bad it's not a character flaw they like

00:05:24.000 contributing to the community but you get a lot of people who are not particularly conservative

00:05:28.320 getting involved in conservative politics to be involved in the community but so you end up

00:05:32.640 lacking a lot of conservative principles so i'm trying to run in order to re-inject conservative

00:05:36.960 principles be a very outspoken conservative who's willing to work hard to get policy across the

00:05:41.840 finish line and then an added bonus is i actually live in the riding and i'm not the biggest critic

00:05:47.280 of people carpet bagging but when you don't have a good record that you're running on and you're not

00:05:52.080 particularly conservative and you're carpet bagging that's a bit of an issue with for to to me is when

00:05:58.160 you the only thing that you could say about yourself is that you're against the carbon tax

00:06:02.080 and really nothing else and you can kind of keep your views vague on every other issue

00:06:06.080 should you really be running in a safe conservative riding we should be using our safe conservative

00:06:11.040 ridings the way the nvp the liberals the block and the green views them you put one of your

00:06:16.000 strongest advocates in those writings and that they can say whatever they want without feeling

00:06:21.040 like at risk of losing an election because something they said in parliament that they believed

00:06:24.880 it you use your stronger writings to make sure that the rest of the country votes for your party

00:06:30.480 more by having people who feel at liberty to speak who can advocate strongly for the positions of that

00:06:36.640 party when you have only weak kind of wishy-washy conservatives occupying strong ridings they end

00:06:42.960 up almost acting as a roadblock for real conservative people in the party because they don't want you

00:06:48.720 taking strong conservative positions and they're the people who are not at risk of losing races so they end up

00:06:54.480 having being in like politics for a very long time uh in those ridings because they can't be removed

00:07:00.800 so then they end up shaping the party's character over time and this is where we ended up in my

00:07:04.960 opinion with an erroneous tool we had a lot of people around the party who weren't particularly

00:07:09.760 focused on conservative principles just on winning elections so that because they had occupied their

00:07:15.280 ridings for potentially decades they had ended up shaping the party in this more brian

00:07:20.480 malroney aaron o'toole direction so that the party was set up to willing to accept a man like o'toole

00:07:26.480 when if the party was run by people who were more principled i think o'toole from caucus itself would

00:07:32.400 have been called out well before he ever got even close to winning the leadership as being effectively a

00:07:37.600 fake conservative so sausage slap says what's up wyatt uh not much just a saturday night wind a live

00:07:45.360 stream to be able to cover a bunch of political topics and um so i'm i just answered the question of

00:07:50.240 why i was running for the the conservative nomination for calgary signal hill if you live

00:07:54.880 in calgary signal hill make sure to buy your membership and vote for me once the vote comes up

00:07:58.960 i still have to fill out all of my paperwork i'm getting very close to having it in getting approved

00:08:03.440 as a candidate but there's like 12 people here and it's going to be a bit of a it's going to be a bit

00:08:08.320 of a crazy circus no matter who wins just simply because of the sheer amount of candidates and more

00:08:14.560 candidates actually leads to very strange races anyways so what i was wanting to talk about when

00:08:21.280 it comes to this marathon voting i covered it a little bit but the conservatives are just holding

00:08:25.840 up these 135 spending bills and slowing them down arguing against all of them filibustering in order

00:08:31.680 to try and put some sort of discomfort on the liberals and force them to consider or vote for

00:08:37.360 a freeze in the carbon tax because the the conservatives are allowed to propose bills as

00:08:41.680 the opposition into parliament so they have their own bill to try and pause or freeze the carbon tax

00:08:48.640 on all emissions or on on every single thing that like the carbon tax currently applies to

00:08:54.320 because obviously a bunch of maritimers about 50 of them or 40 do not pay the carbon tax on their

00:09:00.240 heating bill which was the contrudo government admitting that the carbon tax was hurting people

00:09:05.040 and that the carbon tax is no longer universal so why should any canadian have to pay it if some

00:09:10.320 canadians aren't having to pay it and this isn't like you're two you're living in poverty so you

00:09:14.880 shouldn't have to pay it this is just anyone who had heater oil doesn't have to pay it which is a

00:09:18.880 very broad group of people and does not target a specific you know socioeconomic demographic of

00:09:23.840 people but uh yeah so that's that's where that's at and that the liberals are then using the fact that

00:09:30.960 a lot of the votes that the conservatives are holding up or abstaining from voting on and basically

00:09:36.800 ensuring that the bills pass as slowly as humanly possible to try and pressure the liberals

00:09:41.120 into getting rid of the carbon tax that because some of the spending bills are for sympathetic

00:09:47.440 kinds of things like trying to support first nations people or supporting the poor or supporting

00:09:52.320 the police or the military or whatever or some aid bill for some disaster zone that this is means

00:09:59.280 the conservatives are being horrible people again i don't think this is going to work out for

00:10:03.280 the liberals because when the conservatives make it very clear that they're doing this to hold up

00:10:07.600 votes uh in order to try and get the carbon tax removed nobody actually buys that somehow the

00:10:12.560 conservatives are heartless if anything it's the liberals who are heartless who keep cramming down

00:10:16.960 on poor canadians in favor of their environmental agenda and that's kind of where i wanted to move on

00:10:21.920 from here um oh wait uh well delta mail actually had a good question are you well received in that riding

00:10:27.440 uh calgary signal hail where i'm running as conservative candidate honestly the doors have been super friendly

00:10:32.320 so far the the the stereotype of calgary signal hill because in canada obviously our ridings are

00:10:37.760 so geographically big they almost have end up taking on their own cultures even after it's a little bit

00:10:42.320 subtle riding to riding calgary signal hill i would say maybe for the past decade or two maybe 15 20 years

00:10:50.160 you would say it was less of a conservative riding and more of a capitalist riding i am an actual full

00:10:56.800 spectrum kind of conservative but i've noticed over the past five to eight years or so that there's way

00:11:02.080 more people who are actually more principled conservatives and either entering the riding

00:11:06.320 or people who were previously more so just fiscal conservatives becoming fiscal and social

00:11:10.560 conservatives because the argument that o'toole was putting forward and sheer was putting forward too

00:11:16.400 was in their election campaigns is that technically every everything the liberals are doing is fine

00:11:21.040 as long as we were paying less taxes and that's not a winning strategy and i think a lot of people

00:11:25.840 have realized over time that the rot from the liberal government is not just the carbon tax it's not just a

00:11:31.440 a couple bad economic regulations it's the fact that they fundamentally hate the country the liberals

00:11:36.960 just do not like canada as a country this is why they changed the lyrics to the national anthem this is 0.62

00:11:43.440 why like justin trudeau comes out and accepts the ridiculous report from the missing and murdered

00:11:49.040 indigenous women's group that was saying that canada's committing an ongoing genocide that's completely

00:11:55.040 that's a fallacious uh point to have made and trust and trudeau fully accepted it because he's will

00:12:01.520 he believes that canada should be a post-national state without an identity and it's just some sort

00:12:06.640 of dumping ground for whoever wants to show up to do whatever and you don't have to you know take on

00:12:11.440 any character of the country you don't have to you know try and get along with anyone else you don't

00:12:16.720 have to even sign you could barely have to sign the guest book in order to come into canada

00:12:21.600 it's quite disheartening over time but i think a lot of voters over time it's less compelling to them

00:12:27.360 the red tory argument that uh well who cares about social issues just let's just lower the taxes

00:12:32.640 because i'd rather and i'm not saying this is a platform point but i'd rather keep the carbon tax

00:12:38.400 in place and get rid of a lot of the social policies of the liberals because those are far more

00:12:42.720 destructive obviously if i was an mp i'd vote to get rid of all of us but if but my that's just my

00:12:49.120 point is that there's a lot of social issues that the consider that the liberals have been pushing

00:12:53.440 in legislation and in the culture that have been far more destructive than a lot of their economic

00:12:58.480 uh sort of like attacks on the country but those are still the sort of same sort of attacks i think

00:13:04.480 in a certain sense the carbon tax is the liberals trying to punish canada for being a prosperous western

00:13:10.000 country because they know that they're not reducing emissions i think it's basically just a club

00:13:14.400 to use against like the capitalist system of of canada and stephen gilbo our environment minister

00:13:21.200 i think he still is the environment minister he literally declared himself a socialist in parliament

00:13:25.280 and i think when they literally tell us who they are we should probably believe them but now there's

00:13:30.800 me just getting to another point unless there's a question here i'm just scrolling well that's that's

00:13:35.040 to answer the question of how well received am i in the riding i think it's actually been pretty good

00:13:39.840 because i'm more of a social conservative and the riding has become more socially conservative

00:13:44.640 more people have kids and more people are realizing that they don't want woke nonsense in their kids

00:13:48.960 schools so even though i'm running for a federal job the federal government should take charge in

00:13:54.400 trying to claw back education grants and or uh equalization fees to provinces whose education systems

00:14:02.080 are teaching left-wing note woke nonsense because it's a misallocation of containing taxpayer money

00:14:07.600 anyways but to get back to it what's uh going on in i think what's going on in parliament is quite

00:14:14.400 disgusting with the liberals trying to accuse the conservatives of somehow like opposing good

00:14:19.040 things because they're abstaining from votes or filibustering votes in order to try and put pressure 0.91

00:14:24.160 on liberals to reduce the carbon tax because it's been the liberals who have been crushing the poor

00:14:29.280 for the last eight years it's them who keeps putting on regulations and starting different programs

00:14:35.520 that ostensibly are supposed to support the poor but ends up actually making them poorer over time

00:14:41.280 there's actually a great documentary that milton freeman made back in the day it's called free

00:14:45.360 to choose and he makes a very good point that every single uh social measure that's supposed to help

00:14:51.280 poor people like a lot of welfare programs rent control uh different redistribution schemes different

00:14:58.400 grants for the poor all this stuff usually ends up not actually helping the poor because it's usually

00:15:03.680 those more in the middle class who can technically still qualify for these services and programs who

00:15:09.040 are usually the more savvy people at sort of being able to utilize the system to get the money that

00:15:15.200 they want so in the free to choose documentary they were showing that all these just like all these

00:15:19.280 apartment buildings in new york and chicago that were in rent control were usually occupied by people

00:15:24.320 who could actually easily go and pay average rent prices but they're what they were quite savvy at being

00:15:29.200 able to manipulate the system in order to get these homes where it was poor people themselves who

00:15:34.320 actually couldn't get them so they were paying the regular prices for an apartment building or for

00:15:39.760 an apartment rent uh and they were actually having to pay more because they were subsidizing those living

00:15:44.240 in rent control every single progressive policy is not actually helping the poor and conservatives and

00:15:50.800 this is where i might even transition and talking about jody gondek and just progressive municipal

00:15:55.440 politicians in general their actual policies it doesn't matter how much they say they're helping

00:15:59.920 the poor all their policies do is crush the poor and especially their environmental policies they're

00:16:04.880 supposedly supposed to help the planet that not only do they not help the planet they usually make

00:16:09.360 the poor worse off the carbon tax no matter what rebates the government's giving out yes the poor

00:16:15.760 gets more money back in the rebates then they do pay on the carbon tax on their gasoline but the carbon

00:16:21.760 tax applies to way more than gasoline so the poor end up paying way more back in the carbon tax across

00:16:28.560 all the different products then they actually get back the rebates things like the single use plastic

00:16:33.840 band and the plastic bag bands that have been going on in several cities those who are way more hurtful

00:16:39.680 for people who are living on the in sort of like the bottom rung of society because all these banned

00:16:44.560 materials usually cost more than the ones at grocery stores and other restaurants and places like that

00:16:51.040 are then required to use and even if so you look at it or these sort of upper class liberal elites

00:16:56.400 look at it say well it's only just an extra five cents for blah blah blah or you only have to pay

00:17:01.040 45 cents for reusable bags well those reusable bags you have to wash them unless you want to get food

00:17:06.080 poisoning you actually have to wash those bags so you're like so and if you don't even if you forget

00:17:12.000 one at home you have to pay an extra 50 cents to get another bag and you're going to have to have

00:17:16.480 multiple ones and they're eventually going to run out it was actually kind of nice that you could get

00:17:20.960 free bags to carry your groceries home with but because these people live in a bubble these liberal

00:17:25.520 elites live in a bubble they don't realize that you know taking some another 25 30 dollars because of

00:17:31.760 the single plastic a single use plastic bag ban in different cities being like implemented that just

00:17:37.360 because you can handle that 30 doesn't mean that it's not going to actually be very detrimental to

00:17:42.720 somebody else uh i just want to take this comment from ox squirt i think that's what you're called

00:17:54.560 uh he said i don't really care if the poor you get even gets more back from the carbon tax i'm not poor

00:17:59.280 and i pay way more than i get but i'm not so rich that it doesn't i don't notice it i notice it a lot

00:18:04.400 and yeah like and the thing is too we like the government too trying to create these programs where

00:18:09.360 they're trying to give the poor back more than they give is just a kind of a big scam in the first

00:18:15.120 place because oftentimes administering these programs costs so much money that even if they

00:18:21.280 were benefiting the poor a little bit more they end up hurting the middle class quite a bit so that

00:18:26.560 these people are not like so that you're like you're not actually increasing prosperity like progressives

00:18:32.640 will pretend that they're increasing prosperity through their different programs and they're just not

00:18:38.320 they're not actually increasing prosperity in any way they're just they're just reducing overall

00:18:43.600 prosperity for the goal of increasing prosperity in a particular part of the economy or particular part

00:18:50.480 of the sort of socio-economic pool it's not but at the end of the day it never actually works out

00:18:55.600 because the bureaucracy that it takes to manage all these programs end up costing way more than the

00:19:00.800 than the programs benefit anybody it's like that again i think this was from the free to choose

00:19:05.680 documentary and this has been noted several times in other places too that if you were to take all

00:19:11.760 the money that goes into operating the welfare system and you were to just rather than like uh

00:19:17.920 dividing up like all the money that actually goes towards operating the welfare programs whether it's

00:19:24.080 bureaucracy delivery or whatever else and you just divide up that money and gave it to poor people

00:19:29.680 you would be like tripling or quadrupling the amount of money they would get back in benefits but because

00:19:35.520 most of the money goes towards paying people to administer the programs it ends up just being this

00:19:40.080 big sort of uh employment scam or a bunch of people out of university every that who have liberal arts

00:19:46.400 degrees or whatever end up getting these welfare uh bureaucracy jobs that pay them quite a bit of money in 0.81

00:19:52.800 order to dole out very little bits of cash so that's where we actually do need to do a big uh forensic

00:20:00.320 audit of these programs and just look at how much money is actually going towards the things that they

00:20:05.280 are claiming it is it's kind of the whole scan that ends up taking place with charities is that a lot of

00:20:10.400 charities do not actually give that much money to the causes that they supposedly represent because it's just

00:20:17.280 the rule of any business is that when you're not actually profit motivated you end up wasting a

00:20:22.960 lot of money on yourself rather than the poor people or the homeless or the drug addicted or whoever

00:20:28.640 else the the vulnerable that you are supposedly protecting so i think that's also a good case for

00:20:33.840 why i think the government needs to give less money in grants to non-profits and charitable organizations

00:20:39.600 because the it seems like the government gives the money just based on the idea that their about page

00:20:44.960 says such nice things about themselves rather than if they actually do any good work i this is a bit

00:20:51.120 of a story from the provincial election in alberta 2023 here i bumped into in one of the writings calgary

00:20:58.320 curry several people just down singular blocks who were supposedly in charge of running their own

00:21:03.680 non-profit groups and they were voting ndp because they were mad that the ucp cut their non-profit budget

00:21:08.800 a little bit and like every time i talked to them because i would always ask kind of act kind of

00:21:13.040 sympathetic with the whole thing oh like oh that's well if you're doing work that's horrible blah blah

00:21:16.960 blah blah blah blah and you couldn't nail them down on what they actually did so many of these

00:21:22.080 non-profits did nothing they were they were just non-profits where basically they employed three like

00:21:26.880 chumps to get hundreds of thousands of dollars a year between themselves to deliver just nebulous 0.63

00:21:33.440 services like as a lot of the dei scam is that all like obviously there's no real physical product

00:21:41.040 at the end of the day through dei programs there's nothing that actually benefits anyone in a material

00:21:47.440 manner and even the abstract benefits of we made a more inclusive workplace not only is that fake

00:21:53.200 and most of these dei type programs make places less tolerant and inclusive because that just makes them

00:21:58.720 more left-wing and more left-wing supremacist is that the the thing is that where we like we were

00:22:05.440 literally having hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars in canada across canada

00:22:11.280 being given actually probably billions at this point being given to organizations that literally

00:22:16.560 do not do anything other than basically paying people to not like to sit around and exist it's

00:22:23.040 actually kind of pathetic when you realize just the sheer number of people it's not like it's not

00:22:27.920 getting close to like 20 or 30 percent but there's like single digits up to 10 percent of people 0.83

00:22:33.760 in this country who work fake jobs they have fake jobs they go to work and they create powerpoint

00:22:40.160 presentations about you know like inclusivity in like the sanitation department in some workplace

00:22:47.440 and every once in a while people have to look at their presentations they hate it and then they go

00:22:50.960 back to actually doing real work these people think about all the people in schools whenever

00:22:55.360 this is where actually i'm very sympathetic towards nurses doctors and teachers even though i think

00:23:00.000 their unions heavily misrepresent them think about all the hr and just administrative jobs that the

00:23:07.040 unions fight for uh even more than they actually fight for the real frontline workers that they

00:23:12.320 supposedly represent think about how much money you could actually give to people who deliver real

00:23:17.520 services in the government if you cut all the hr and administrative jobs i wish conservatives it's not

00:23:22.880 because they've never tried it i think it's just it's a bit of an abstract marketing idea for politics

00:23:28.000 that they need to target upper management union type positions these hr types these people who are just

00:23:34.720 like the the 17th vice principal in a single school i've heard from people who work in schools

00:23:39.920 administration just people who are vice principals superintendents other sort of hr positions have like

00:23:45.760 quintupled over the past 30 years or so think about how much more each teacher could be paid and

00:23:51.440 think about how much you could reduce class sizes by just paying each individual teacher more to do an

00:23:56.800 actual job that actually benefits people but but it's a great way of buying votes by having

00:24:03.840 non-profit groups who not only do get those non-profit individuals voting for you but they're likely to

00:24:09.520 volunteer on campaigns because they realize that the party who who ended up offering them the grants

00:24:14.240 are the way that they keep getting funded but also a lot of these non-profit groups effectively just

00:24:18.880 push left-wing ideology into the public so they end up being like a pack on behalf of a liberal or

00:24:24.880 ndp government without actually being explicitly political but a lot of this dei rhetoric is

00:24:30.880 political and you we've even seen this exposed in the past it's been a while

00:24:37.280 but some of these dei people and people who create curriculums or do uh sort of like little

00:24:43.440 bits of work in schools they literally will call conservatives racist and they will say that it's

00:24:48.640 problematic to vote conservative based on their quote-unquote neutral and objective takes as a

00:24:54.880 dei expert it's really disgusting uh sorry i just saw a question from ali here uh is it the job of the

00:25:01.760 government to support people in canada even if they are poor or should it be the attitude of the people

00:25:06.000 it is to by default not to rely on but support uh sorry sorry i'm always terrible at reading or should

00:25:12.720 it be that the attitude of people is to by default not rely on but rather support the government um

00:25:19.680 yeah and like that's that's a big thing is i think there has been a culture shift over the past 50 years

00:25:25.520 in just western countries in general that it used to be that the government didn't have a massive budget

00:25:31.840 so people were more willing to say yeah the people support the government to give us some basic services

00:25:37.440 but now it's that like the government people just see it as an active and that's an entity that's

00:25:43.120 literally supposed to support you fully like you know cradle to grave type programs and it's like it's

00:25:49.120 not even good for the individuals that you're giving money to because it's getting them to basically

00:25:54.480 like believe in or set their sights on what is a standard of living actually lower than what what they

00:26:02.320 would if they were working and they realized that they could take charge of their own life you could work

00:26:06.320 minimum wage in canada and make way more than you would on welfare but the thing is that a lot of

00:26:12.000 the welfare programs themselves seem very cushy and easy so that more people and i've always literally

00:26:17.920 yelled at not quite yelled at but someone got very elevated a professor in my master's program

00:26:22.880 when i asked the genuine question how do you design a welfare program in order so that you don't

00:26:28.880 incentivize too many people to basically sit at home and not work and they got mad at me and said

00:26:34.000 there's no evidence that people uh who are on welfare don't want to work if you survey them

00:26:39.360 they'll tell you they want to work that's nonsense obviously there's going to be people in any program

00:26:45.040 who are not genuinely there uh for the program's purpose but they're so ideological they cannot admit

00:26:52.080 that there is such a thing as a welfare exploiter uh they wouldn't actually but so they got ticked off and

00:26:58.800 they said well there's no evidence it what do you mean evidence this is what i actually get so mad

00:27:03.280 about in academia if people say where's your evidence of that it's like what do i have to have 0.98

00:27:08.080 a study to show you that people suck sometimes people suck and some people are going to sit on 0.87

00:27:12.800 welfare so it is a legitimate question how do you create a welfare sort of balance where they're the 0.99

00:27:18.880 benefits aren't so little that someone would starve to death but at the same time you're not giving

00:27:23.200 someone so much that why would i go and work when i can get more by just sitting at home and even then

00:27:29.600 she was saying this post covet post the years where people would literally quit their jobs to get on

00:27:35.360 serve because serve paid more i was working in uh like a liquor store and i had people who would quit

00:27:42.160 in like in both our location i think we had one person and other locations in the branch because it paid

00:27:47.440 more to just go on to serve and obviously you had to pay taxes on it just like you had to pay taxes

00:27:52.880 at the for the money you got while you were working but if you saved a big chunk of it you

00:27:57.360 could easily pay the taxes it was insane um kevin is asking about bill c21 and you mentioned the gun

00:28:06.640 bans is that the handgun banners it's just the assault weapons ban quote-unquote assault weapons ban

00:28:12.640 i i think what the future of gun bans is based on following the ccfr and all the legal challenges and

00:28:18.000 the fact that the liberals i believe have said they're not going to actually pursue

00:28:23.040 looking at they're not actually going to pursue trying to confiscate any of the guns

00:28:27.360 on their lists until after 2025 i think they're basically trying to just shove that off as a

00:28:31.840 political issue they don't actually want to have to talk about it in an election so they're basically

00:28:36.880 saying uh not until we're probably lost and we're out of government are we actually going to enforce

00:28:41.840 this policy and obviously if they win a new another election it's probably something miraculous where

00:28:47.280 they get another majority and then kind of do whatever they want so they've tried to they're

00:28:51.760 trying to insulate themselves from their own policy it's the exact same thing as the liberals

00:28:56.160 removing the carbon tax for heater oil they're just trying to basically uh they're basically just

00:29:01.440 trying to close the blast doors around where their ship is leaking water so it doesn't sink the entire

00:29:06.640 vessel at this point i don't think they can save themselves look at any polling it's horrific issue

00:29:12.400 by issue polling is almost even worse than the uh polling itself and fundraising numbers are even worse

00:29:18.400 than all that the conservatives are more than doubling the liberals fundraising numbers and when

00:29:23.520 you actually go to who do you trust to handle the economy those things heavily favor the conservatives

00:29:29.120 the only thing that the liberals are ahead in is stuff about who cares most about the environment

00:29:33.360 and who is like you know like the more caring and progressive party but those are kind of very

00:29:40.080 waffle-ish kind of questions to ask people that like it's basically saying hey uh all like every

00:29:46.720 liberal is just going to say the liberals are and the conservatives don't care about those metrics

00:29:51.040 because they're very left-wing oriented metrics so they just they might even say yeah the liberals do

00:29:56.080 care more about the environment i also don't really care because it doesn't who cares who cares more

00:30:00.960 about the environment if people are one they're not even reducing emissions by what they're doing and

00:30:05.840 two they're lowering people's standard of living so it's a kind of a self-defeating issue because when

00:30:10.800 this next election is kind of gearing up to be an affordability election people don't really care

00:30:16.720 that the liberals are more caring about the environment they just want the party that's not

00:30:21.360 going to destroy their wallets um and like that's not to say that like obviously like the conservatives

00:30:26.960 don't care about the environment conservatives care about the environment probably more than the

00:30:30.000 liberals that's why conservatives propose stopping sludge being just dumped into the montreal like

00:30:35.680 the river or saint lawrence river from montreal or for elizabeth may's writing ironically enough to

00:30:40.960 stop dumping sewage into the sea that's an actual environmental policy i could get behind not

00:30:46.640 nebulously trying to reduce emissions so that co2 makes up slightly less than 400 parts per million of

00:30:53.280 the atmosphere like it's almost sort of pseudoscience to pretend that co2 is like the main thing driving

00:30:59.280 heat like uh driving uh the climate considering that co2 was pretty consistent before the industrial

00:31:05.520 revolution yet we still have massive change in the climate and what are these people believing that

00:31:10.560 400 parts per million of the atmosphere is like creating this giant shell around the earth and

00:31:16.080 preventing any heat from escaping it's just really not how it works in any way shape or form does it

00:31:21.440 influence the environment somehow what sure just as you know pretty much anything is going to in like

00:31:28.560 going to influence the heat of the earth like the more matter on earth of any variety is going to

00:31:34.880 dictate whether it's colder or warmer and what that matter is but i don't really think that it's

00:31:41.120 specifically co like the earth changed just how the heating works and now it's purely co2 is the main

00:31:46.640 factor whether before it was all these other things that you did like even just the the angle and the

00:31:52.000 position to the sun if we move a mile closer or further away that's probably going to have a much

00:31:56.880 bigger impact than co2 does anyways uh oh great question from countryside uh do you think there

00:32:03.040 would be an early election no i was specifically told by a conservative mp from nova scotia that

00:32:09.680 they are literally called up by air canada saying do you guys also want a campaign jet like the liberals

00:32:14.720 are booking and that's when they know an election is going to happen everyone's pushing this idea that

00:32:19.920 hey the the ndp the president of the ndp says that there's an election coming or that he could see an

00:32:25.520 election happening in the spring if anybody says there could be an election in the spring there's

00:32:30.400 not going to be an election in the spring because if there was going to be they would definitely say

00:32:34.480 there was 100 is going to be an election this spring because they that would raise more money than just

00:32:39.280 saying there could be but these party presidents and and just like party officials don't want to be

00:32:45.360 called up by their own by saying hey you said there was going to be an election in march and there wasn't

00:32:49.040 so they just kind of use vaguer language because that still increases uh fundraising it makes a

00:32:54.560 great excuse to have a few fundraising emails around the christmas season uh especially in a

00:32:59.200 party like the liberals and ndp who don't have a lot of money so they're trying to like sort of squeeze

00:33:03.600 out as much money before the end of the year in which then their donors can have a fully new um

00:33:09.920 1750 that they can give to the party anyways but yeah a lot of i i almost get i almost hate whenever

00:33:16.960 people start trying to do election predictions based on your own logic and i believe you're

00:33:21.360 probably with me on this do you feel like the liberals think they can win in another election

00:33:26.240 do you feel like the ndp has any incentive for an election right now like in a certain sense they

00:33:31.360 actually do but from the perspective of jagmeet singh's leadership style and the fact that he's

00:33:36.160 very conciliatory to the liberals do you think that there's going to be an election there's just no way

00:33:41.520 that the liberals or the ndp are going to volunteer to get clobbered uh this early they're

00:33:46.720 going to wait it out until the very end again if the liberals were smart like you said in other

00:33:50.560 videos they would actually push for an earlier election than later because if they hold on

00:33:54.960 for dear life until they absolutely must call an election that's when you're actually going to have

00:33:59.840 a lot of voters start to like resent the fact that while well past the point where considered where

00:34:05.600 voters actually wanted them to stay in office they kept holding on that's what in my opinion

00:34:11.440 killed the social credit party in bc and alberta and even in like quebec after their charismatic

00:34:18.160 leaders had left the parties and they had uh like they had really no reason to exist their government

00:34:24.080 still held on way past the point where voters wanted them gone which made them very a very tired

00:34:30.240 brand where if they called an election faster right after they lost their leaders didn't do very

00:34:34.880 well in the election but held on to maybe most of their seats or or some portion of them then they

00:34:39.920 could have justified themselves into the future held a leadership election gotten a better leader

00:34:44.480 but because they were just kind of holding on with whatever mediocre kind of politicians they had

00:34:48.720 still in the party on as long as possible that's when people just kind of got tired of them then they

00:34:53.680 started heavily underperforming in the polls um

00:34:59.440 oh and this is sausage slap says uh sellout singh wants that pension i don't actually think that

00:35:04.880 jagney singh wants his pension i think he wants his pension in the sense that if you ask him do you

00:35:09.120 want it or do you not want it he'd say yes i want it in terms of like obviously he's not going to give

00:35:13.760 up his pension the the thing with jagmeet saying though is he could at this point probably make a

00:35:17.920 lot more money by resigning as a leader and then starting up a legal practice because again lawyers can

00:35:23.600 make a crazy amount of money a lawyer with a heavy big profile like jagmeet singh where he could

00:35:28.480 potentially offer lobbying services or legal services as a sort of pseudo celebrity lawyer he could make way

00:35:36.720 more money in that sort of line of work i think jagmeet singh just genuinely has such a massive ego

00:35:42.080 he likes the fact that he's a leader of a party he doesn't mind that he's completely

00:35:46.160 unconsequential in a certain sense and he's one of the worst political tacticians that exist in canada

00:35:51.840 he could get everything he wants from the liberals right now by threatening elections and by holding

00:35:56.320 up votes and doing all this other stuff he doesn't because he just doesn't care and he's terrified of

00:36:00.800 losing his position as a leader of a party because he just likes the idea or at least in my opinion i

00:36:06.640 think he just likes the idea that when you have to take the snapshot of history in 2023 you technically

00:36:11.840 do have to talk about jagmeet singh if there's ever a big net netflix series made about canadian

00:36:16.800 politics there's a few episodes where they do have to mention jagmeet singh a few times whereas i think

00:36:22.080 that his pension at the end of the day is not going to be that much the minimum pension that you get

00:36:26.560 after six years is like i think after he like turns past a certain age which is still like

00:36:32.480 10 years away for him or even longer so it's not like he his pensions right around the corner he's

00:36:37.440 only going to get like a few thousand dollars a month it's not that massive until you've like been

00:36:41.280 in parliament for like a couple decades because i think it's you get the minimum after six years

00:36:45.760 and then every two or three or four years after that it increases by a little bit per month but so

00:36:51.040 i don't i just don't see him being one of those people who actually cares about the pension he's

00:36:56.160 more of like a like he acts like on social media he's more of just sort of like an influencer he

00:37:02.560 just likes the social economy of getting a lot of attention uh yeah no i i agree with that it's a

00:37:11.920 prestige thing that he gets to have the the the pension and that he was leader for a very for a long

00:37:17.840 enough to be to get the pension but i mentioned this in a previous video it's almost kind of remarkable

00:37:24.720 the fact that jagmeet singh has been the ndp leader through two losses and obviously the ndp is never

00:37:31.520 going to form a government in the new or future in canada i i say lost by the fact that the ndp did

00:37:37.120 not gain in elections where there was an easy there was a good ability for them to to gain a lot of

00:37:42.640 seats they lost a lot of seats under mal care because he just didn't have the charisma to hold

00:37:46.640 the party together the way jack layton did but so jagmeet singh had a massive deficits of seats to win

00:37:52.080 back places that hadn't voted ndp before who had gotten used to the idea of it that jagmeet singh

00:37:57.680 could have made inroads in and people point to it like well he wasn't going to do what good in

00:38:01.440 quebec because he's seek and they have a very secular culture there okay fair enough but how

00:38:06.560 did he end up losing even more seats in other writings it's insane there's like the the problem

00:38:11.760 with it is that jagmeet singh and again this goes along with the idea that i don't think he's doing

00:38:15.840 this for the pension he's doing this for the attention he doesn't really like union voters

00:38:20.880 because union voters are actually very blue collar and socially conservative in a certain sense

00:38:25.600 you get the hyper progressives who are very active in the unions but the sort of more general base of

00:38:31.200 labor voters i think jagmeet singh doesn't like them he finds them icky they don't believe in all

00:38:35.920 the progressive things they don't go to you know aesthetically pleasing donut shops like he does where

00:38:40.720 they put like candy and bacon on like ridiculously overpriced donuts because they're not like jagmeet 1.00

00:38:46.800 saying he does not want to hang out with them so he has expanded the party's base or not really he's

00:38:52.160 more so pivoted and then shrunk the party's base to being like a party for student union activists

00:38:59.200 i as someone who was on my student unions academic advisory board and picturing those people now they're

00:39:05.520 very very concerned with progressive uh like posturing uh sort of welfare programs and socialistic type

00:39:12.640 policies not because they actually believe they're efficient but they believe in the morality of socialism

00:39:17.280 uh these are the kind of people that jagmeet singh has very much adopted as his voters it's like his

00:39:22.880 voters are like the hr workers in unions and kind of white college girls that's his base it's people who 1.00

00:39:31.840 very much care about so like the fact people who like like it would be the type of person that would

00:39:37.920 follow jagmeet singh on tiktok is kind of the base that he wants his base unfortunately for him is

00:39:44.000 still like labor it's still like union people because they're just the ndp so well dug into many

00:39:51.520 unions but he's been killing off his votes and this is why unionized voters are now pulling best with 0.88

00:39:57.280 conservatives and then second place i think is i think actually it's not even second place i think

00:40:01.600 the liberals and the ndp are basically tied because the ndp doesn't do anything for them anymore i i never

00:40:07.200 thought the union the ndp was good back in the day but you could at least say that they were

00:40:10.960 unapologetic advocates for the union position now they're very much unapologetic unapologetic

00:40:17.440 advocates for the sort of social policies unions push but it's not because the unions believe in

00:40:21.840 them it's just because union like political infrastructures the sort of like uh advocacy

00:40:27.280 structures within unions were taken over by socially left-wing people so over time they've actually

00:40:32.560 cared less about the sort of like collective bargaining and economic issues that labor

00:40:37.920 unions usually exist for and now they care more about like the social stuff this is where you

00:40:42.880 have fred hahn and qp ontario like stumping against um stumping against israel and basically supporting

00:40:51.760 hamas this is like very much the kind of reason why i think jagmeet singh hasn't been punished as much

00:40:58.320 as he should be for ignoring his labor base is because the unions also ignore their labor base

00:41:03.520 but because of the power they have to basically bully their own members they can push enough votes

00:41:08.960 over the ndp the party hasn't absolutely collapsed but the party has collapsed in its economic viability

00:41:14.640 long term because it's a party that runs mostly in well in college towns in very granola progressive

00:41:22.080 areas when i say granola progressive areas you know i mean very kind of earthy type progressive urban

00:41:28.720 voters that's kind of like who the ndp relies on young people who have the kind of very revolutionary

00:41:35.760 political ideas that they got from certain progressive youtubers that's there's a reason why jagmeet

00:41:41.280 singh does live streams with hassan piker and alexandria acosia cortez from the us it's because that's who

00:41:47.920 his people are voting for him now are kind of watching um and maybe this is a good time to kind

00:41:54.080 of transition to another issue about uh polling and the way that the left-wing parties have kind

00:41:59.120 of hurt themselves in the us the stereotype with the the democrats and the republicans is the republicans

00:42:06.880 tend to be a more older party in terms of the age demographics who vote for them it's changing a

00:42:11.920 little bit on the sort of younger side where it's become a bit more split up because of how bad the

00:42:16.080 democrats are performing but the democrats are usually considered the more young obviously more

00:42:20.320 progressive party when i say progressive i'm not saying a good thing i'm just using the language

00:42:24.560 they use i find a lot of the progressives which when i talked about jody gondek you'll make it very

00:42:28.800 clear they're not actually progressive they're just left-wing supremacists who sort of frame all

00:42:33.680 their policies as being sort of progressive and tolerant when they're the least tolerant people you've

00:42:37.840 ever met but in canada the liberal party and the ndp is basically the democrats cut down the middle

00:42:43.920 not in terms of i don't think the party is exactly are it's not like they're vote splitting i think

00:42:48.720 the parties do end up serving two different types of people but the ndp is very much the young side of

00:42:54.800 the party and the liberals are the old side of the party if you were to combine the two together

00:42:59.120 the liberals are actually they overperform usually depending on the poll but the what the people that

00:43:04.080 the liberals actually do well with are people 65 plus it's very old voters who vote liberal mostly

00:43:10.960 the the conservatives are actually very well positioned because although they're winning

00:43:15.280 winning every demographic right now that's just a consequence of the fact that they're so far ahead

00:43:19.760 but the conservatives are usually most appealing these days to people between the ages of like 34 and 55

00:43:28.480 uh it's kind of middle age demographic that's a very good demographic to have because those people

00:43:32.960 vote a lot and they're the biggest part of the population the ndp mostly has that 18 to 34 crowd

00:43:39.600 they're still obviously behind the conservatives right now but they're disproportionately pulling

00:43:42.960 well with them a group of people who unfortunately for the ndp does not show up and vote very more

00:43:48.800 frequently and then the liberals have this 65 plus voter demographic and i think it's because the ndp

00:43:56.240 has because of their more revolutionary hyper progressive policies they make older voters concerned

00:44:01.920 because although the ndp promises more benefits and social benefits the changes that they would make and

00:44:07.600 their kind of lack of respect for private business i think makes older voters who even if they're more

00:44:13.040 liberal understands the ndp would be heavily toxic for the economy the liberals are also toxic for the

00:44:18.960 economy but a little bit less so so that i think these voters kind of trick themselves into thinking that

00:44:23.760 the liberals still have some respect for the market economy they really don't but this is where 65 plus

00:44:29.440 voters vote liberal so heavily uh in terms of like disproportionately because the liberals basically offer

00:44:35.920 safety blanket policies that they're going to increase their old age pension benefits and all this

00:44:40.960 other sort of stuff that they're going to you know support the private the public health care system

00:44:45.680 they're going to give away the most or keep robust services in place where they're not really promoting

00:44:51.520 new uh services and like new kind of economic measures that concern older voters but they kind of

00:44:57.840 keep all the services that are currently in place more beefed up than the ndp would so that these

00:45:03.920 older voters who are more risk averse will end up liking the liberals that's kind of the funny thing

00:45:08.800 is that the liberals are a very unambitious party in a certain sense they pass a lot of legislation

00:45:13.760 but a lot of their legislation unlike the ndp or the conservatives are not kind of forward-thinking

00:45:18.640 and visionary again the the visionary policies of the ndp are horrific at the same time like the

00:45:24.720 conservatives also i i mean that they want to change kind of the way canada works a little bit so

00:45:29.120 the conservatives want a very much more small pro small business or not small business small

00:45:34.640 government pro-family kind of vision for the country right now under polyev jagme is saying

00:45:38.880 it's very much a trade unionist big bloated government kind of a future the liberals don't

00:45:44.720 really offer a vision they're more so their vision is imagine all the benefits the government

00:45:49.040 is currently giving you plus a little bit more and we'll make sure that those benefits keep coming

00:45:53.920 that's really what they are offering it is the warm bath kind of uh kind of policy book uh like

00:45:59.920 trudeau that's kind of trudeau's fault too he kind of entered office in 2015 pretending that he was

00:46:04.640 more revolutionary than he was and although he's done terrible things it's mostly the extension of

00:46:10.000 pre-existing bad policies and regulations that he's turned up to 11. so we had environmental

00:46:15.040 protections and some taxes for pollution back in the day and then he extended it up to carbon taxes so

00:46:20.960 he's never done something like jagmeet singwood where he would actually push for like phasing out

00:46:26.560 of coal coal and oil and gas and uh and natural gas across the country and forcing different cities

00:46:33.440 and meet like jurisdictions to use green energy green tech but so trudeau kind of moves down the road

00:46:40.080 but so slowly that he doesn't sort of freak out his older base uh sorry i wanted to see uh

00:46:48.080 uh i wish someone would explain to me why uh why i should care about israel palestine problems

00:46:53.520 this is from uh some guy with using trudeau's blackface photo but i don't think that you have

00:46:59.840 to care i think that in a certain sense you should care just from the idea that i wish western forces

00:47:05.440 and western ideals would win over both hard left-wing ideals and sort of crazy um fanatical islamist 0.99

00:47:15.040 ideals i think that at the end of the day israel is a proxy for the west to basically keep on surviving

00:47:21.600 and the thing is if we only care about our own shores and we only care about what happens internally

00:47:26.880 you're going to be inviting for the world to become a far darker place that we cannot stop from infecting

00:47:32.560 our country with bad ideas and you know hostile sort of action it's why you know i wanted to protect

00:47:39.680 taiwan i know canada really doesn't have the capacity to do that much for taiwan but overall

00:47:44.560 let's say we're the united states and we have far more power obviously you should back up taiwan

00:47:48.960 because if china takes over taiwan and they take over the they take over the microchip building uh sort

00:47:54.320 of i guess industry they have far more in ability to influence our elections they have far more ability

00:48:01.520 to influence our culture they have far more ability to actually actively threaten us that's where i think

00:48:08.960 that actually a lot of foreign policy issues matter deeply is that the whole point is of protecting

00:48:14.720 allies overseas so that you don't have to protect yourself later without your allies is that they

00:48:20.000 end up being kind of our the buffers around our country so you have to kind of see them a little bit

00:48:24.720 as extensions of ourselves buffering canada from the worst elements of the communist east as well as 0.87

00:48:31.440 kind of like the islamist middle east that you want to keep those islamist forces in the middle east in 0.99

00:48:36.240 iran and qatar in uh in the the houthis in yemen at bay so that we don't have to deal with them later 1.00

00:48:42.960 i don't like a lot of the mass immigration that's going on obviously that's also been bad so but don't 1.00

00:48:48.640 kind of mistake bad liberal policies for what the west stands for a lot of the people who support israel

00:48:55.840 in the liberal government or support ukraine in the liberal government these are the same people who

00:49:00.080 actually kind of don't care when putin invaded back in 2014 or when israel was being rocketed

00:49:06.400 prior to october 7th they're kind of late comers and they just realized optically they had to back

00:49:11.600 them up but these kind of far left liberal types in the west are the biggest allies to like the ccp and 0.99

00:49:17.600 to iran and to islamists and to calistani radicals and to other sorts of nihilists who want to undermine the

00:49:24.160 west it just so happens that in these couple of instances they've arrived at the right position

00:49:30.000 purely out of political necessity uh what else could i bring up here what could we talk about

00:49:37.520 uh absolutely no don't worry i actually do like the question because if people don't actually answer

00:49:42.160 questions or ask questions like that and people don't answer them then i think the world just becomes

00:49:46.800 a far dumber place where all we have is slogans i would say that uh i would well you're kind of right

00:49:52.720 that israel wasn't really founded on marxism uh it was just that and kibbutzes kibbutz in israel and 0.85

00:49:59.200 i've toured kibbutzes in israel this year actually uh good thing i wasn't there when all the fighting

00:50:03.760 started uh but the thing is that it was actually technically more founded on like trade unionism

00:50:09.520 which is technically fascism it's not because that that doesn't make i don't think israel a bad place 0.98

00:50:14.240 it means that in 1948 israel was like a desolate landscape with not much in it so people were more

00:50:20.080 heavily or more favorable to big government solutions to problems in which it actually

00:50:25.520 kind of hampered israel's growth for the first few decades because while they could sort of pretend

00:50:30.960 like well it was because of the kibbutzes and it was because of the government man of the government

00:50:35.120 infrastructure projects and agricultural projects that saved us really not it appeared like it did

00:50:40.400 because israel survived for the first few decades but it also hampered their economy and hampered their

00:50:45.280 growth since they've become far more free market and far more of a tech center that's when they've

00:50:50.000 actually done really well to the point where they have an iron dome to the point where literally

00:50:54.160 arabs move to israel because it's far better to live in israel than it is to live in most of the 1.00

00:50:59.680 rest of the middle east because unless you are sitting on a pile of natural gas in the middle east

00:51:04.720 you're not usually very well off and even then if you live in one of the countries often the benefits

00:51:09.840 do not ever trickle down to you because they're basically run by dictators and oligarchs uh anyways

00:51:16.160 now maybe this great time because someone brought up israel to talk about mayor jody gondek of calgary

00:51:22.400 calgary's mayor jody gondek man it's just sad that people like this are even elected in places like

00:51:29.200 calgary it's obviously calgary is a super conservative city like i said before sometimes there's more of

00:51:34.640 just a calgary's capitalist more than it's conservative and i think some people who vote conservative vote more

00:51:40.320 progressive municipally when the conservative labels are not put on the parties or there's no municipal

00:51:44.880 parties because i think people don't can't don't speak conservatism secondhand so they don't really

00:51:50.880 they can't really detect when there's camp that's way more liberal than they expected or they don't

00:51:55.440 really know who a conservative is unless they're specifically labeled as a conservative anyway sorry

00:52:00.720 i'm going down the rabbit hole a bit but jody gondek effectively won because we didn't have good

00:52:06.080 conservative opposition i generally liked jeremy farkas i voted for jeremy farkas he was a good counselor i

00:52:12.080 voted for him as mayor the problem for jeremy farkas is he bought into the media lie that he was being

00:52:17.920 too contentious and too divisive in council so although he actually ran on many conservative

00:52:22.400 things his style became more i don't want to say this because a lot of people won't get it i think

00:52:28.480 enough people will to say it he came off very alberta party-ish during the mayoral election

00:52:34.080 the alberta party is like supposedly alberta centrist party but they usually are more center left in their

00:52:39.760 orientation so farkas tried to start signaling that he was more progressive on social issues

00:52:45.120 and through doing that and trying to sort of moderate the tone in which he talked to and try

00:52:50.000 not be not be too contentious i think he then made himself boring and he made himself not seem like the

00:52:55.040 decisive conservative people should back oddly enough even though it's a more liberal city obviously

00:53:00.960 rob ford understood if you need want the conservative vote you've got to be the unapologetic

00:53:06.160 conservative in the race you've got to push conservatism like your conservative bona fides

00:53:12.080 to the max so that people know that you're not just saying a couple things about some tax cuts

00:53:16.480 and then you're going to be a mostly typically boring john tory kind of a politician that's why

00:53:21.920 conservatives in calgary have not won for the past couple of decades probably two decades at this

00:53:26.640 point since before bronconia i guess although bronconia wasn't that bad the problem is that our

00:53:32.080 conservatives always trying to like pretend like they're progressive because they buy into the

00:53:36.880 media's idea that municipal politicians have to be these uniters who are you know ma who are

00:53:43.120 pluralistic and whatnot and they're very much trying to bring the community together but the progressives

00:53:47.760 they're running against aren't trying to bring the community together they're only trying to serve

00:53:50.880 progressive union voters so the conservatives have to realize that any election is going to be one

00:53:55.840 faction of people against another one not in a toxic tribalistic way but from an ideas

00:54:00.880 perspective it's always going to be a people who want small lower taxes and more police against

00:54:06.240 the people who don't like the police and want higher taxes and more like bike lanes and whatnot

00:54:10.800 that's at the end of the day it's going to be a clash of ideas and if you neglect the fact it's a

00:54:14.960 clash of ideas or you you've written you refuse to engage in the fight you will always lose that fight

00:54:21.760 um i was going to but so but it's great to see that gone deck not to reiterate my entire video on

00:54:28.000 her it's fantastic to see that she's basically sunk her own battleship here her approval rating was

00:54:33.360 already horrible it was 36 and for to for a mayor that's insane mayors are usually given the benefit

00:54:40.080 of the doubt even though they have a pretty massive impact on people's day-to-day quality of life

00:54:44.320 people usually just assume their mayor is doing a good job because it's very local figure you you're

00:54:49.280 much more likely to have shaken hands with the person who is your current mayor than your mp or your

00:54:54.880 prime minister or whatever but so but she she's so bad in terms of her approval rating she's performed 1.00

00:55:00.960 so poorly because because nahed nenshi our previous mayor is very progressive he was super super

00:55:08.080 progressive the problem the thing with nenshi though is he was savvy enough to realize that

00:55:11.840 calgarians weren't going to go with him exactly where he wanted to go on all of his policies so he

00:55:17.040 moderated himself in a lot of in a lot of aspects of his sort of policy playbook or sort of like

00:55:23.440 agenda the gondek because she actually used to be a conservative as weird as it is i've heard tons 1.00

00:55:29.360 of stories of her working on conservative campaigns but then when she got a phd in urban sociology and

00:55:35.600 she kind of got this sort of academic um attention and she got a lot of attention from very progressive

00:55:41.280 kind of municipal figures she became a true believer overnight in progressivism and so she doesn't

00:55:48.400 actually have the understanding because she was in a academic bubble for so long whereas nahed nenshi

00:55:54.400 had a very long time uh he had a very long history with debating conservatives and interacting with

00:55:59.520 conservative ideas she was kind of a true believer conservative and then she became true believer

00:56:03.760 progressive because she was always kind of in a bubble and she's never understood how to like how

00:56:08.720 to talk with people who don't fully like who like don't believe what she already believes because i

00:56:14.160 think she assumes people's minds look work like hers that if it's a good idea in her mind that 0.78

00:56:19.360 everyone should believe it's a good idea so she's been proposing policies ever since she became mayor

00:56:24.880 on pure idealism with zero hold back so you know killing the arena deal because they weren't going

00:56:30.000 to install off solar panels she's been put like literally plowing bike lanes in like negative 30 weather 1.00

00:56:36.880 while she's not plowing people's uh own streets because people should be promoting to what like 1.00

00:56:41.840 people we should promote riding bikes we should like she keeps increasing property taxes despite the

00:56:47.360 fact she ran on a property tax freeze she was kind of a little bit avoidant on whether she actually was

00:56:52.720 going to raise property tax or not but every indication she made was that she wasn't going to do it

00:56:57.520 but you know she's attacked the police for trying to clear homeless encampments and now we've arrived

00:57:01.920 at the point where she now is trying to not she will refuse to show up to menorah lighting ceremonies

00:57:08.160 because the organization putting on is pro-israel as if the only way she'll interact with a jew

00:57:13.600 is if that jewish person hates israel as much as she does that's just insane that would be like if 0.81

00:57:19.520 there was a palestinian event or there was some sort of ramadan event and you expected that everyone 0.96

00:57:25.600 who is there hates saudi arabia hates palestine hates iran hates yemen hates whatever jibouti 0.51

00:57:33.680 obviously that's not going to happen people generally from like from a group that's associated

00:57:38.960 with a specific country are not generally going to hate that country although you could argue with

00:57:43.040 iranians because most iranians hate the regime in iran but still but what she was doing was extremely

00:57:48.560 disgusting uh to basically imply that unless this group of people would like condemn israel defending

00:57:54.800 itself regardless of what you think about foreign aid to israel if a terrorist attacks your country

00:57:59.920 if we were attacked by a like uh if we were attacked by like a foreign land on our border 0.99

00:58:05.440 and they like massacred 1400 of our people we wouldn't do this stupid crap that the media does where we 1.00

00:58:11.200 count up 1400 militants and we only kill those 1400 people obviously we're going to go in and try 1.00

00:58:16.480 and wipe out anyone responsible for the crime and if they're hiding behind human shields those deaths

00:58:21.360 are on them but because jody gondek is both a true believer in progressivism so she naturally

00:58:27.760 is this kind of janice erwin if anyone knows who janice erwin is an mbp mla up in edmonton uh

00:58:33.600 because she's this janice erwin type who truly believes that israel is like the root of all evil in the

00:58:38.480 middle east and she relies on a lot of these people in kind of this vote bank politics sort of a manner 0.93

00:58:43.840 in order to have gotten elected in the first place she ended up basically sticking her foot in her mouth 0.99

00:58:48.640 and not attending an event that she's been to in the past in which they held the same raffle to

00:58:54.400 support israeli citizens that she was present and in favor of back in the day but because she now has

00:59:01.120 to uh like who she has to please her base and she seems to have evolved in an even more left-wing uh 0.99

00:59:06.960 direction ideologically now she doesn't like now she's basically destroying her own career in order 1.00

00:59:13.200 to basically pose on people and prove that she's a more loving progressive than everyone else is 0.59

00:59:19.040 but yeah no she's just awful overall uh she doesn't know what she's doing uh 1.00

00:59:27.520 overall i would say there is a very very very good case for a values test to be re-added

00:59:33.440 to canada's immigration system and that our immigration system should not specifically be

00:59:38.400 letting in any specific number of people we should be processing people at the top at the pace that we

00:59:43.760 can actually guarantee that they do not hate our country or hate individuals in our country

00:59:49.440 and so i think the 500 000 number we currently have is untenable for good national security as well as

00:59:56.240 here's the thing with high immigration numbers it's actually not only bad for the people living here 1.00

01:00:01.040 when the housing supply is being outstripped by the number of people entering the country but we are

01:00:06.240 also doing a massive disservice to the people that we are bringing to this country pretending we're the 0.68

01:00:10.160 land of opportunity and there's tons of jobs everywhere and how and the affordability is

01:00:14.880 fantastic hey look calgary and vancouver are always in the top 10. but then they come here and they have

01:00:20.480 to share half a basement suite with like three other guys just to be able to make ends meet that's actually

01:00:25.920 kind of weird that we're we're almost importing a group of people just to you know do like just to

01:00:31.600 do like meal delivery services and work minimum wage jobs it's not good for our population to be

01:00:37.760 fighting for jobs in like against people uh for these like for younger people to have to fight

01:00:42.400 these people for minimum wage jobs or compete against people for minimum wage jobs at the same

01:00:46.240 time we're bringing people here who as soon as they hit the ground stock they're living their

01:00:49.600 parents house and they can work some more smaller jobs before they get better ones and they can

01:00:53.280 afford their own place we're bringing people here who need their own place because they don't 1.00

01:00:56.720 have family here who again are having to live with other adults they don't know to be able to work

01:01:01.200 to drive for uber eats or work at a 7-eleven or something like that to barely be able to pay for anything

01:01:06.800 we're actually basically baiting them out into coming here to work for us for a lifestyle that

01:01:11.760 they cannot afford because canada is not a country that you can easily just sort of jump into and just

01:01:16.640 start like casually living here it's it like it's the same thing like a better example or like a like

01:01:22.320 a more hip like hyperbolic example is it'd be hard to move to lichtenstein or luxembourg or monaco

01:01:28.800 and just start living there because the standard of living and what you need to be able to pay for

01:01:33.600 things is so much higher than it is in canada and especially higher than somewhere that where

01:01:39.360 people are coming in from like if you go from india to monaco i think everyone would agree that's a bit

01:01:44.000 too big of a jump for the average person from that country same thing between you know syria and canada

01:01:50.480 it's just really not going to work out and that like there's some people who could definitely could

01:01:55.040 probably show up some people who can't and the idea that we shouldn't actually input any standards

01:02:00.480 onto that is incredibly just is incredibly disgusting not only because it hurts people

01:02:05.120 here at home but it's hurting the people that are specifically coming here as well um uh

01:02:14.080 yeah no i would generally agree with that i think that and the thing is this was this was with any

01:02:17.920 policy so even though i'm running in a conservative nomination i know a lot of other candidates are more

01:02:22.240 tight-lipped about this like anything and like like anything at all like the correct answer to a certain

01:02:27.600 extent is it depends is that you can't just say our country can have 500 000 people coming in every

01:02:33.360 year it depends we don't really have the health care system of the housing uh the housing market to

01:02:38.240 justify it right now it really depends just like anything how much should we spend on x or how much

01:02:43.680 should we do for x or how many cops should we have it depends if we have bad crime like we do now we

01:02:49.600 definitely need way more cops and we have to stop hamstringing them but if we had super low crime and

01:02:54.400 someone proposed hiring 500 a thousand new cops and we didn't exactly have an aging police force 0.95

01:02:59.440 that we needed to replace or anything like that that would be also a stupid idea right now it's 0.65

01:03:03.760 obviously one obviously it's probably too much obviously it doesn't it shouldn't have to bear repeating

01:03:10.720 that we like that everyone knows it's going to have to come down and i frankly think that

01:03:14.720 a conservative government will adjust it down they just don't want the grief at the moment uh which

01:03:20.400 i think they'll have they'll have to bite the bullet at some point but you know doesn't really

01:03:25.200 matter i think it's just one of those things that obviously is going to be uh taken care of in time

01:03:34.320 um oh yeah you're right absolutely right terry j and the thing in the indian population in

01:03:41.840 canada and i'm not trying to say obviously like indian people are poor or something like that indian

01:03:46.240 people are similar to successful people by demographic in canada on average they make a

01:03:51.200 crazy amount of money but these days you are right a lot of people coming from india to canada

01:03:56.080 are not exactly living their best life because the thing is the opportunities that existed

01:03:59.920 previously for indian immigrants are not no longer here and we've only become more restrictionist

01:04:05.120 in terms of people being able to become like doctors or be able to have their credentials um

01:04:10.560 respected once they come to this country or being able to buy property in order to start a

01:04:14.800 business it's just not here anymore you have to basically come to this country with three 0.99

01:04:18.960 hundred thousand dollars in your pocket or you're going to be grinding for a couple of decades just

01:04:23.760 to be able to do what people back in the day could do after a few years of living in this country

01:04:29.040 um and so oh baby so gondek with this whole menorah scenario i think that she basically called killed 1.00

01:04:36.400 off her ability to run for re-election now she's almost like i would say a candace lori lightfoot 1.00

01:04:42.720 that if she jumps into a race i don't think that i think that the progressive union sort of people

01:04:49.840 the calgary's future pack and stephen carter types are going to run a different progressive against her 0.99

01:04:56.320 because she just isn't too well known for being toxic and so then again in response we need a doug 0.92

01:05:03.440 rob ford figure not doug ford definitely not doug ford we need a rob ford figure to run as calgary's

01:05:09.200 mayor who nobody could mistake as the conservative in which case then conservative voters can line up

01:05:15.280 behind that person i always hate it when people blame individual conservative voters because they

01:05:21.600 are like like like individual conservative voters because they didn't get behind the right candidate

01:05:26.240 like jody gondek got like 42 of the vote even if every single conservative voter voted for jeremy

01:05:31.280 farkas he would have still lost because there was other progressive or kind of these moderate

01:05:36.160 centrist consultant type people also running those are not probably attracting conservative voters so

01:05:41.680 the problem we have is that when we don't have an obvious conservative running then voters don't know

01:05:47.520 who to obviously vote for you need someone who is actually going to uh like polar like polarize a little bit

01:05:53.440 in a good way actually run on policies that conservative federal and provincial voters can get behind

01:05:59.120 and then you'll have good voter turnout our biggest problem municipally and this is in almost every city

01:06:03.440 is voter turnout municipally is low and you don't actually you can be in the most progressive city

01:06:08.800 imaginable and you can win as a conservative because even progressives uh ndp and liberals

01:06:14.320 types they usually don't show up and vote in municipal elections either so if you run on someone on

01:06:18.960 someone who can get the base out who can drive out 20 of the city 15 of the city to come to vote for

01:06:25.760 them you can win because only about 30 to 40 of people even show up and vote in these mayoral

01:06:31.760 elections in the first place it's just about turnout and like i know someone previously wanted me to

01:06:37.280 make a video on theory of door knocking and how to actually do campaigning but like a lot of it and

01:06:43.680 it's politics 101 it's some of those basic stuff ever it's almost insulting to even pretend like someone

01:06:48.960 here might not know it all politics comes down to not all of it obviously but i'm saying like base level

01:06:55.760 what a lot of elections come down to are branding and name recognition can you brand yourself as the

01:07:01.280 conservative and can you get enough name recognition so i'm not just saying a guy who's

01:07:04.960 super conservative has to run if nobody knows who you are you're just not going to be able to become

01:07:08.800 the mayor it becoming mayor or getting any high position takes a lot of effort and you got to do

01:07:14.240 you got to be building your narrative on why you should be mayor for at least several years and you

01:07:19.200 better have had a big name even before you started on your path trying to become mayor but what we

01:07:24.240 need is someone with a good conservative brand nobody doubts they're conservative and that that

01:07:29.280 person isn't going to get scared and pretend they're not as conservative as they are like

01:07:32.320 farkas ended up doing and i like farkas he's a nice guy but i think that he ended up like so many

01:07:36.800 conservative politicians are in a lot of races hoodwinked by the media into pretending he wasn't who

01:07:41.520 he was so but then we also need name recognition this person has to be running for mayor for like

01:07:47.760 a year and a half in advance they got to be very clear about what they're doing they got to make

01:07:52.560 sure that they're not just sort of throwing their hat in the race because hey it's a conservative

01:07:56.480 city and i maybe can win so that's what we need we need someone high name recognition and they're

01:08:01.520 definitely conservative that's what rob ford did in toronto i'm not sure people remember he literally

01:08:06.880 came third in his first run at council because even though he was doug ford senior son and doug ford

01:08:12.720 senior used to be in the mla in etobicoke center or etobicoke east or something uh he lost when the

01:08:19.280 nomination happened for center against uh chris stockwell but when when rob ford lost came in

01:08:24.640 third place and it was a distant third he knew that there was it wasn't just supposed to like you

01:08:29.280 know kick sand and walk away oh i can't believe i didn't win it's because after that every single day

01:08:35.520 he kept pushing in the media and just in the community as to why he should be the mayor so he won

01:08:41.200 the account he became the counselor the next election after that because he kept basically campaigning

01:08:46.000 even after he lost and when he became counselor he started building his narrative against city

01:08:51.360 waste and corruption and he just pushed on those few different things basically crime and city

01:08:57.280 spending that's all he ran on was bad spending and and like and cut cracking down on bad crime so if

01:09:03.200 someone runs in any city in canada these days because they're two easy issues run on cutting property

01:09:08.640 taxes and run on cutting crime just make your slogan cutting cutting crime cutting taxes that's it

01:09:14.240 and just a cutting crime cutting tax as simple as that should be the actual slogan if you want

01:09:19.040 to win a municipal race in canada but a lot again a lot of people they listen to too many consultants

01:09:24.880 saying you got to have a platform point about respecting communities and you have to have something

01:09:30.560 about engaging in like bridge building between blah blah blah and you got like they they talk they

01:09:37.520 they end up consultants turn candidates into people who talk like consultants and people can tell i i i hate

01:09:43.840 most strategy firms in this country even when they're working for the conservatives because

01:09:47.840 they usually just get people to talk about politics in ways that only like aliens understand because 0.98

01:09:56.480 all of this stuff doesn't actually matter to anyone uh when i hear politicians talking about how we need

01:10:01.440 politicians who respect pluralism more which is this idea that like you know people have to get along

01:10:06.480 and realize we live in a pluralistic society where we love and respect everyone it's like that's so that's

01:10:11.120 such a meaningless concept and even just yesterday and i had a politician tell me about pluralism or

01:10:16.400 talk about pluralism and it was like nauseating who cares like a lot of the and again these progressives

01:10:23.680 who value these pluralistic ideals are usually the least pluralistic people ever the the only they

01:10:29.120 hate you no matter what your race ethnicity religion is if you don't 100 agree with them on every issue

01:10:35.760 that's why our conservatives have to not buy into these people's nonsense and act if they put on

01:10:40.800 these kind of airs of progressive pluralism that they're going to gain voters because these progressives 0.88

01:10:45.440 are phonies you would get more voters by by pointing out these people like jody gondek are complete frauds

01:10:51.600 they're deeply nasty and insular people and they don't like anyone who doesn't already agree with 1.00

01:10:56.960 them on every single social and fiscal issue there is to exist if you effort to beat these people you have to

01:11:02.720 expose them as frauds during the elections and not let them be taken at face value by the public

01:11:08.080 jody gondek like farkas made a couple of good hits on her he should have just shredded her as a basically 1.00

01:11:14.240 a no nothing intolerant progressive that would have been way smarter but anyways i'm probably going to

01:11:20.160 start wrapping this video up here i'm over past an hour and uh there's still a good chunk of people

01:11:24.800 watching but i know that i've been talking about some issues more nebulous issues frankly that i think

01:11:29.840 that it was a bit harder to generate conversations on but it was still fun uh i guess i can still plug

01:11:34.960 the fact that i i'm running for the calgary signal hill conservative party nomination so if you happen

01:11:39.920 to live in you know calgary signal hill or if you just happen to know people who live in signal hill

01:11:45.440 promote uh buy a membership so you can vote yourself or promote them to vote for me i'll put a link to my

01:11:50.640 website uh in the in the comments of this video i also just put up a link to my give uh give send go

01:11:58.080 account i have a legal fund i'm running because i'm being sued by a billionaire i'm winning the

01:12:03.600 lawsuit against this billionaire uh it's a completely ridiculous case in which they're claiming defamation

01:12:09.120 in a case where they have submitted no evidence proving defamation proving anything that we said

01:12:13.120 was wrong and we submitted piles of evidence proving everything you'll everything we said was

01:12:17.360 100 right it's been a lot of fun but uh yeah it's been a lot of fun to fight back in this case because

01:12:24.160 to a certain extent i've been able to prove the point uh about not backing down the media if you

01:12:28.640 don't back down most of the time these people uh fold up and run away and so far to the point in the

01:12:34.720 case we're at basically the guy that's suing me is running away in his deposition i think they pretty

01:12:41.360 much had to prove they had to admit to the fact that even though everything we said about him was based

01:12:47.040 off a global mail report they never issued any legal notice to the globe and mail so they're

01:12:53.600 like the entire case is spirit spurious you don't get to wait for the 17th person to say something

01:12:59.040 bad about you and then hit them with defamation or a defamation suit because you don't think that

01:13:03.920 they're rich enough to pay for it so that they can't defend themselves i've been scratching and

01:13:08.160 crawling to pay for this but so far it's been going quite well anyways that should be it for me today

01:13:15.040 i don't want to keep dragging this out sometimes i start rambling a bit too much because i'm seeing

01:13:18.160 if there's another last minute question but i can always save it i'll maybe do another live stream

01:13:23.040 in a few days with daniel as well and people can have fun pitching both of us questions

01:13:27.760 but i'll see everyone until then i'll see everyone later
