It should have been obvious that Conservative Party Leader Pierre Polyev was going to win the Battle River Crowfoot by-election by a wide margin, but for some reason, today we have liberals online as well as the legacy media crowing about it, and implying that Polyev may have cheated to win by as wide of a margin as possible, if not for these supposedly unlawful things.
00:00:02.740It should have been obvious that Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev was going to win the Battle River Crowfoot by-election by a wide margin.
00:00:11.160But for some reason, today, we have liberals online as well as the legacy media coping really hard and implying that Pierre Polyev may have cheated and he wouldn't have won by as wide of a margin if he hadn't done these supposedly unlawful things.
00:00:30.000I'm going to get into it in just a second with you guys.
00:00:32.380I just want to remind you first, though, that if you like the channel, make sure to leave a like on the video, subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber.
00:00:39.460I am trying to get to 100,000 subscribers by mid-December of this year, or I owe all four of my friends dinner.
00:00:46.240If I win, they four owe me dinner. I only won dinner. It was a really lopsided bet that I had made.
00:00:52.840And then also leave a comment on what you think.
00:00:54.940But do you, when you see this sign, it was a large sign that Pierre Polyev's campaign would put at the side of the road reminding people that when you go in to vote, vote with Pierre Polyev's first name and last name.
00:01:09.760He has a bit of an oddly spelled last name.
00:01:12.900So if you haven't done it before, you may not realize it's like, you know, that there's an I before the L and then there's another I after the L.
00:01:21.000It doesn't sound like that's how it should be written.
00:01:24.040But his campaign was putting up signs in order to, one, remind people to vote and then also give them a spelling of his name.
00:01:30.760Does this sign strike you like it's made by Elections Canada?
00:01:35.360If you said yes, you are not a real person because nobody on this planet would think that Elections Canada would put one of the leading candidates' names on their advertisement reminding people to write up a candidate's full name.
00:01:50.500This is obviously from Pierre Polyev's campaign, and you are delusional to pretend that anyone would mistake this as some, like, order by Elections Canada to vote for Polyev.
00:02:01.120But we have all these people from the left, a lot of anonymous accounts, obviously, but I've seen other more mainstream accounts also sharing this stuff.
00:02:08.780They say, where does this campaign sign attribute its message to the campaign?
00:02:12.800And there is a small piece of text somewhere in the campaign sign, I believe, that says where it's from, but that text isn't supposed to be massive so that someone can see it from the side of the road.
00:02:24.640The whole point is if someone walks up to the sign inquiring on who the sign is from, they can find out.
00:02:30.640But you shouldn't need to go find out who put up the sign because it says Pierre Polyev on it.
00:02:36.240And I think we all know why a sign would have Pierre Polyev on it, because it's probably from his campaign.
00:02:41.320And this Wendy Bee person has now went on to the Elections Canada website to find this rule that they think they're trying to interpret as making the sign illegal.
00:02:53.180If it was illegal, Elections Canada would have already flagged it by now.
00:02:57.200And by the way, later on, we're going to get to Bonnie Critchley, the Liberal-backed Independent candidate in Battle River Crowfoot, who came in a respectable second place.
00:03:07.060She probably would have gotten less than 1% of the vote if she didn't have more than a million dollars of free advertising through the media, left-wing podcasts, and left-wing activists online.
00:03:20.640She went on CTV News to imply that Pierre Polyev was cheating, which is just glorious cope to behold.
00:03:27.500So we are going to get to that in just a bit.
00:03:29.720And then I actually want to talk about some other stuff that Pierre Polyev is doing, because the man is driving people up the wall right now, because the legacy media and the left cannot handle Pierre Polyev 2.0.
00:03:41.020I also want to talk about a CBC News segment where, as soon as he gets back into office, they are immediately tone-policing him.
00:03:47.160Right after he wins, now they have to tell you why, what he's saying is vulgar or whatever.
00:03:53.120And it says on the Elections Canada website, are there any rules about the content of campaign signs?
00:03:59.220And the Elections Canada rule states that the Canadian Elections Act does not regulate the content of campaign signs.
00:04:04.760None of this indicates that this sign is illegal at all.
00:04:30.440Again, you would be delusional to think that this sign is attempting to be an Elections Canada sign, as if the Elections Canada owns the color yellow.
00:04:39.740I guess the Libertarian Party would be in big trouble if having yellow on your sign meant that you're trying to manipulate people.
00:04:46.400But it just says that the Elections Act does not regulate the content of campaign signs.
00:04:51.360You just need to be able to give contact information and show who the sign was created by.
00:04:56.240It doesn't regulate that that has to be massive text on the sign saying paid for by the Peer Poly of campaign at this address.
00:05:03.360It's just that if someone walked up to the campaign, they could figure out who put this thing up.
00:05:07.800But again, that would only be that if somehow your campaign sign was really vague and they didn't know who this was advertising, like you suck at making campaign signs.
00:05:16.400At least someone could walk up and see who it was, especially if you left your law and signs up after the election and they know who to penalize for just junking all their signs along the side of the road and not cleaning them up properly.
00:05:28.020But now let's move over to the CTV News interview that Bonnie Critchley has done post-election.
00:05:35.000And this makes me, it confirms a lot of what I assumed about Bonnie Critchley.
00:05:45.920She has very generic, very hyperbolically anti-conservative opinions.
00:05:50.860We've already seen this by her calling Peer Poly of a traitor and that Damien Couric has sold us out by giving up a seat for Peer Poly of, which is just how Canadian politics work.
00:05:59.740And unless you're a liberal partisan, you're not going to get mad that a party leader is doing it.
00:06:04.240It's something obvious that every party leader will do if they lose their seat.
00:06:07.720William Lyon Mackenzie King, the longest ever serving prime minister of Canada, had to do it twice.
00:06:12.520And we don't consider him some sort of like unpatriotic, you know, disrespecter of democracy.
00:06:17.980We understand that a leader, especially a prime minister, needs to be in the House of Commons.
00:06:23.580And so we will sort of make an, usually MPs will give a little more leeway so that they can get back into office.
00:06:30.360But here is Bonnie Critchley saying that Peer Poly of, you know, cheated.
00:06:37.320There were shenanigans during election day, so I'm not 100% surprised on how everything turned out.
00:06:42.960I am going to leave, whether it was legal or illegal, up to the Commissioner for Canadian Elections and the RCMP.
00:06:49.180But there were mocked up Elections Canada signs that had the appropriate disclaimer in font about that big on a three by six foot sign in a different, slightly different shade of yellow than there was.
00:07:04.880And then there was issues where DROs, sorry, Deputy Returning Officers were handing out the large print books only with all the parties up front and all the independents in the back.
00:07:16.460Plus, there were some other issues reported by my scrutineers that have been reported to the Commissioner, yes.
00:07:23.640If someone's showing up to the polling station to vote, if your name isn't at the front of the list and they don't say, okay, well, where's Bonnie Critchley?
00:07:33.400It's probably because they don't know who you are and they weren't going to vote for you.
00:07:36.700Or do you think that just because a name is listed at the top, they're going to get more votes?
00:07:40.880That's kind of a misnomer about how elections work.
00:07:43.140Like, oh, you're an alpha, the alphabetical order is favoring you.
00:07:46.600If that helps you, it helps you in such a obtusely minor way, it's not even worth mentioning.
00:07:52.420But getting back to the idea like, oh, we are going to go to the election commissioner and see if this was illegal or not.
00:07:58.560Elections Canada could see these signs in the riding.
00:08:01.100They never issued some sort of citation.
00:08:03.080There was never a news story saying that they had to take them down because it's not illegal.
00:08:07.640Elections Act does not prevent you from having the color yellow on a sign saying people should vote for Pierre Polyev.
00:08:13.820And again, if you are stupid enough to think that that is an order by Elections Canada that you must follow, show up to the voting station and vote for Pierre Polyev,
00:11:02.200Not by, you know, two and a quarter percent underneath $50,000.
00:11:07.060You cut all taxes across the board, including corporate, by 20, 25 percent, because that's the amount of money where a family who's making $150,000 a year, but they're still struggling.
00:11:20.760They can imagine, OK, we can actually go on that family vacation now.
00:11:23.900You know, maybe we can pay for the first year of university for all of our kids like we always wanted to.
00:11:29.660That's what you've got to do with tax policy.
00:11:31.600And that works the same way with cultural issues, social issues, foreign policy.
00:11:35.780You've got to have a different perspective where people can imagine life being different when you're in office, not just better, because better is abstract.
00:11:43.580They want it to be completely different.
00:11:45.980I wake up in the morning not stressed out, and we have that vacation booked in six months.
00:12:14.040That's when people feel like everything is much different.
00:12:17.500But now I'm starting this clip off with Tim Powers here, who is the conservative on the panel.
00:12:25.220And I'm just showing you the end of his statement on their panel.
00:12:30.300They're going to go to the woman who is a strategist for the liberals or a former strategist and has worked with ministers, liberal ministers in the past.
00:12:39.100But this really shows you the caliber of the type of conservative that the CBC will actually allow on their shows.
00:12:45.300I miss Anthony Koch being on the CBC because that guy was actually fun.
00:12:53.440And this guy just has these generic, yeah, poor soup in my lap and I'll apologize to you kind of opinions about how Polyev needs to be very careful not to have, you know, tonal issues.
00:13:13.600But if he's doing something wrong, if Carney is doing something wrong, you whack him on for it.
00:13:18.760Because if you actually want to do your job as opposition and make the country better, even without getting into office, you hit the government as hard as possible every time they make a mistake so that they stop making those mistakes and start making better decisions.
00:13:31.020Or the Canadian public loses faith in the government, not being able to react to your good faith critiques.
00:13:36.700And then they will put you in government instead.
00:13:40.000We still seem to be in a moment whereby we are dealing with the President of the United States, who's unpredictable, who's wieldy, who Canadians have vested Mark Carney with the opportunity to deal with him.
00:13:53.580That doesn't mean he can't criticize Mark Carney.
00:13:56.420Doesn't mean he shouldn't criticize Mark Carney.
00:13:58.720But I think he's going to have to work on the tonality of that.
00:14:02.560Isn't that a great Ottawa word, the tonality?
00:14:39.260But let's move on to now the liberal on the panel who goes full into tone policing.
00:14:43.080Stevie, I wanted to ask, is it just that he can't help himself, or is this a strategy that we're seeing today?
00:14:52.440I'm probably not the only liberal whose stomach kind of urch when we start hearing those sorts of slogans and attacks and repetitive, more of the same, Paliyev.
00:15:05.520I think it is not a good strategy to go to what didn't work during the election.
00:15:11.300What are they talking about what didn't work during the election?
00:15:13.920What didn't work during the election is the sort of things that Tim Powers and her would tell Paliyev to do if they were wanting him to win, supposedly.
00:15:20.940No, he lost because the campaign became dull.
00:15:25.060It became repetitive, but not in a repetitive way where he's too negative.
00:15:31.940I didn't really get a core message in the campaign.
00:15:34.580There were different demographic groups I didn't think that were given something like really hard to actually grab hold of on that campaign to vote.
00:15:43.100I think the conservatives kind of lost upper income people as well as retired voters.
00:15:47.560They did really well where they had a really specific message for them, for voters, and they really pushed their message hard.
00:15:54.680In like Newfoundland, when they went for fishermen and they wanted to bring back the seal hunt and raise fishing quotas, they did well there.
00:16:02.300With Asian voters in Richmond and the GTA, when they pushed hard on drugs and crime, they did very well with those voters.
00:16:10.940Paliyev modeled a more working class style.
00:16:13.780He was like, you know, talking about actually wanting to deregulate, get rid of things like EV mandates.
00:16:19.900He was against our social justice woke type stuff.
00:16:23.420That's what got those blue collar workers who oftentimes had never voted conservative in their life to come over and we won ridings like Windsor.
00:16:43.400He's going back to the 2022, 2023 Paliyev that got him the attention and national acclaim in the first place.
00:16:50.760Whereas in 25, early on, he was kind of soft and it was like, well, this isn't a guy who would smash Sheree 68% to like 16%.
00:17:00.120It feels like a guy who would have to go second ballot with Sheree.
00:17:03.440And we're back to first ballot, you know, Pierre Paliyev 2.0.
00:17:07.240To beat on the, you know, the same horse.
00:17:11.380I think if there's ever a time to be collaborative and to work together in a bipartisan way would be at the beginning of a mandate when there's a national crisis.
00:17:21.580He can build a lot of goodwill this way.
00:17:23.340I don't think the critiques of Carney ring as true as maybe the critiques of Trudeau did.
00:17:31.280And so I think he hurts his own credibility when he makes such, when his statements come down, they're not authentic.
00:17:40.100Let's be very clear with the position that Mark Carney is currently in.
00:17:43.600This person is basically saying, well, it's in Paliye's best interest not to attack Carney, but she's the liberal on the panel.
00:17:49.840It's in Carney's best interest to not be attacked so much by Pierre Paliyev because with this Air Canada situation, with the budget, with him going around and just meeting low-level politicians without actually engaging on the trade deal with Donald Trump, with all of the other stumbles that this liberal government has had, of course she wants Paliyev not to attack Carney.
00:18:10.100Carney is stumbling all over the place right now.
00:18:13.280It's like watching Joe Biden walk up in airplanes' stairs.
00:18:18.680And the idea that Paliyev is going to score points by being conciliatory for no reason, by standing by and holding the towel for Mark Carney and giving him a back rub between rounds of getting absolutely destroyed by reality, by the American trade negotiators and reality in general.
00:18:41.700No, it's not good for Paliyev to back the stupid plays of Carney.
00:18:45.100Sherelle, what did you think when you saw his appearance today and his speech and then...
00:18:51.840This person's from the Hill Times and the fact they're from the Hill Times usually means they're going to be pretty hard left, so I assume that they're filling in the NDP quotient of this panel.
00:19:01.880I mean, I think everybody thought, okay, that shift in tone that he'd been talking about or we were wondering if it was going to be coming, it's not really there.
00:19:13.060Because, yes, after the election in April and after, you know, just on Monday night, he was talking about being more collaborative.
00:19:20.380And even today as well, he was saying, to give him, you know, some credit, he said, again, that we're not just going to be opposing.
00:19:29.840He said, we're going to propose solutions, which is something that people have been asking for.
00:19:35.020They say, we don't want to just hear negativity.
00:19:37.540We want to hear you come up with something.
00:19:39.140To say that it's nonpartisan solutions and things like that, I think that's going a step too far, because it is clearly just the things that the Conservative Party wants to see in terms of repealing certain natural resource regulations and laws having to do with getting, you know, oil across the country and out to market.
00:20:12.540It's like, well, you know, but he's going to be offering a lot of partisan stuff and it would be good if you're like, well, of course he's going to offer partisan stuff.
00:20:24.100These projects are going to fall into everybody's lap as soon as that happens, because if he was Prime Minister, as he said today, he'd be negotiating with the United States President from a position of strength because he would have done all these things already.
00:20:36.760And, you know, in six months, Carney has made things worse.
00:20:41.040I don't know if that's necessarily the message people want to hear, but it is also capitalizing on the fact that Carney has made some missteps, you know, looking at the Air Canada strike.
00:20:54.160People aren't necessarily, you know, glowing when it comes to the Prime Minister and the Liberal government as a whole.
00:21:01.020So who knew the lady from the Hill Times and who's probably the more lefty on the panel is the most rational.
00:21:08.100She won me back over at that last little bit, actually bringing up some failures of the Carney government.
00:21:13.360But again, it's not smart just to sit idly by while Carney messes up as if, again, like she can say, I'm not sure if it's necessarily true that we would be in a position of strength that Polly was in charge.
00:21:24.800But it's like, OK, but rhetorically, you can't really fault the guy for saying that when the guy that who was the man with the plan supposedly is messing up all over the place.
00:21:33.760But now I just want to jump over to something that Pierre Polyev just posted that I think is demonstrating that, yes, we actually are getting Pierre Polyev 2.0 now, which in effect is actually 2022 Polyev who's more aggressive.
00:21:47.000And Polyev says the Toronto Police Association agrees instead of going after illegal weapons and criminals, the Mark Carney Liberals are targeting law abiding hunters, farmers and sport shooters with their multi-billion dollar gun grab boondoggle and then secure our border, lock up gun smugglers and criminals and leave law abiding Canadians alone.
00:22:05.940And he posted this also on the same day that he was going after the for going after prosecutors for trying to lock somebody up for charging somebody for beating an intruder almost to death in their house, which I believe is their right.
00:22:21.580You break into somebody's house and you enter their room when they're asleep.
00:22:25.140Yeah, you might almost get you might almost get killed by the person's fists and feet.
00:22:29.740And Polyev in the aftermath of that says your home, your family, your life.
00:22:34.740If someone breaks in, you deserve the right to defend your loved ones and your property full stop.
00:22:39.880And I hope that they are then going to propose the Conservative Party is going to propose some sort of a castle doctrine law in Canada saying that, yes, if someone comes into your house and you have to, you know, shoot them or you have to, you know, hit them with something and they die.
00:22:55.180Well, that's their fault. You don't break into somebody's home.
00:22:57.800But of course, the fake Conservative Andrew Coyne thinks this is all very bad.
00:23:03.480And he says, quote, a struggle broke out, leaving the alleged intruder with life threatening injuries.
00:23:09.660And he this and he's commenting on the actual story.
00:23:12.880And Ford, Doug Ford, who I don't even like, even came in down on the right side of this issue saying, absolutely.
00:23:18.460You know, if you broke into my house at night, you'd be in for a fight.
00:23:21.220And but Andrew Coyne's commentary on this whole situation says you're allowed to defend yourself with reasonable force.
00:23:27.620You're not allowed to beat the guy to death.
00:23:33.040You can say that from your like, you know, from your skyscraper, from your gated community.
00:23:37.940But if someone actually entered your home and they had a weapon or they were trying to hurt you and you had a gun, would you not pull the trigger?
