00:00:00Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining the live stream today.
00:00:05Apologies for being late. I was driving back home from something and I thought I was going to be able to make the time.
00:00:10I usually do like a Wednesday night live stream at like 9 p.m. because of the prior commitment.
00:00:16And then I stood around talking too much and then, you know, 848 instead of 840.
00:00:21So hopefully a bunch of people haven't given up on me in that eight minute time span or I didn't start right away.
00:00:27well we're here and we're not happy about it and i'm talking more as a country not the show
00:00:33uh my goodness i the i always actually i was actually starting to believe not in a good way
00:00:41but in just like an assumed way that i don't like mark carney i don't like the liberals but i assume
00:00:47that if we were ever to see like an eventual trade deal coming out of their efforts with the
00:00:53united states it would be something it wouldn't be great uh but it would be good enough that they
00:00:57might be able to declare some form of a victory or at the very least they would they would be
00:01:02strategically always kind of kicking the can down the road making small side agreements because they
00:01:08like fighting with trump the fact carney has really crapped this whole situation like it's
00:01:16just been bad how he's dealt with it and that's what annoyed me so much and required me to make
00:01:21that video today on the polls because i can't stand all these like polls coming out right now
00:01:26where it's like plus 20 liberal it's like guys can your polls at least somewhat make sense with
00:01:33the news cycle but you don't want to hear me talk more about polls in this video or in this live
00:01:38stream ahoy everyone for showing up and uh and swinging by i want to talk a little bit about a
00:01:46You know, I'm going to talk about a few things today, including something slightly spicy between creators when it comes to Alberta politics type stuff, you know, having somewhat to do with me running for the UCP and whatnot, as well as, you know, UCP nomination, not officially a candidate, as well as just some other stuff related to Alberta independence discussions and whatnot.
00:02:08But of course, I will start off with some of this nonsense going on around the trade talks.
00:02:16I have this video saved on my computer because I'll probably end up making a video on this, like a standalone video on this, but I'm almost like previewing it for you guys.
00:02:27I will be talking about this horrific segment on power and politics where they did this whole segment on Pete Hoekstra and a petition going around on whether or not he should be kicked out.
00:02:43Canadians want America's ambassador to Canada to be kicked out of the country.
00:02:47A petition to the House of Commons calls on the government to expel U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra.
00:02:53It accuses Hoekstra of making statements that undermine the Canada-U.S. relationship.
00:02:58As of this hour, the petition has over 70,000 signatures.
00:03:02That number has more than doubled in the last 24 hours.
00:03:17And so I'm going to be covering that probably in its own standalone video, not in this live stream here.
00:03:21What does it matter? But this is what I absolutely cannot stand in the current coverage of what's going on. Every time the CBC has one good panel where the panel actually starts, you know, getting onto the issues that matter and talking about like how, you know, what's Carney been doing for the past year and a half?
00:03:41What are the terms? Why are they being so opaque about what's going on? And why is Carney in Italy? That panel happened. And by the next day, the CBC double packed the panel with liberal partisans to talk about how, you know, how we really, this was always going to happen and we got to become more realistic and all this stuff.
00:03:58Like, I absolutely cannot stand the coverage because every time we almost start holding them slightly accountable, not that it's their job to be beating up on them, but every time we have some fair coverage, some fair and balanced panels talking about Mark Carney's actual performance on trade, then we just get back to, oh, Pete Hoogstra, should he be executed or should he be shot in the head or drawn and quartered?
00:04:25And it's like, what does this have to do with anything, guys?
00:13:44I wish the public and media didn't have such a short attention span.
00:13:48Where the cons have been right the whole time,
00:13:51it's everyone else catching up to actual reality and Polyev doesn't get the credit.
00:13:55Well, again, thank you for the $10 super chat.
00:13:57And that is the problem. That's also why when I see polls where the liberals are going from like 42 to 47 in one poll, like their last poll was like a month ago, and the liberals jump up massively and the conservatives fall down quite a bit, not only does it not make sense because like the last few news cycles have been not very good for the carny liberals and you don't expect them to rise during a bad news cycle, but also whenever you see people's public opinion shift that much, you know it's not real.
00:14:25that's the thing i'm frustrated by how willing people are to let kind of carney do what he wants
00:14:32for this long without actually demanding benchmarks be applied to what he's doing
00:14:38uh and it's because the public tent tends to change its mind slowly people will say well i
00:14:43thought carney's the man for the job when i cast my ballot in 2025 and i still do and it's like
00:14:49well have you not been keeping up with what he's actually been doing because that's the problem so
00:14:53many voters, especially urban voters, frankly, and I live in a suburban area, so I meet a lot
00:14:57of them. They are very stubborn, and they vote based on vibes so often. Full of Pimple says,
00:15:06hey, why do I watch you every day? I love your content. Well, thank you for doing that.
00:15:15Yeah, I said Third Tooth says 1469 says, you've said that CPC needs to fight just as hard for
00:15:21liberal safe ridings. And the point of fighting for the liberal safe ridings, and I can even
00:15:25slightly adjust my camera stand here. The reason why you fight for safe ridings is because swing
00:15:32ridings are attached to safe ridings. So it's not the best angle right now because there's a lot of
00:15:37room that you're seeing the ceiling. But this is the riding I'm going to be trying to run for the
00:15:43UCP nomination for, Calgary Curry. This riding, Calgary Curry, went NDP by 13% last provincial
00:15:51election. Now, I don't think it's actually that NDP-ish of a riding. It's just a riding that was
00:15:57very susceptible to anti-Daniel Smith hysteria, to the NDP pitching themselves as the saviors on
00:16:03the drug issue because the drug issue was really bad back in 2023. It wasn't bad actually because
00:16:08the UCP was actually in fact because of NDP policies that were implemented in 2016 or 2017
00:16:13that were still having negative effects into 2023 like the safe consumption sites and stuff like
00:16:19that but this riding is winnable absolutely it's going to be tough very difficult that's why I want
00:16:26to run for it in part because it's more interesting that way but if you want to win this area this
00:16:31neighborhood right here Bankview and then up here Senalta that Senalta went NDP by 33 points
00:16:38Now, obviously, the margins tend to be a little bit wilder when you go down to a smaller sample size, like a singular neighborhood pole.
00:16:50But you come out here, you go to Westview, and you come down to Glenmorgen and these kinds of areas, they're like plus two UCP or plus two NDP, or they're just tied.
00:17:01It's these swing areas that you really need.
00:17:03it's these really heavy NDP ridings. It's these heavy NDP poles that you kind of have to break
00:17:09into. And why I say you have to hit the safe liberal ridings is because right over here
00:17:14in the right over here to the east of Calgary Curry is Calgary Buffalo and north is Calgary
00:17:22Mountain View and Calgary Elbow is actually also a swing riding. It's actually a little more
00:17:26conservative than curry is but buffalo and and uh and mountain view let's realign this thing now
00:17:33hopefully the camera will compensate for the exposure i think it is you have to hit mountain
00:17:40view and buffalo really hard too are you not going to win you are not going to win right away
00:17:46if you're the ucp candidate in buffalo you're going to lose but what you are doing is a public
00:17:51service because next to Bankview and Synalta, there's other neighborhoods around here that both
00:17:57are in Elbow and there, and also there's just across the river in Mountain View. You want to
00:18:02make sure there's as many blue signs in that safe ridings neighborhood that borders the swing riding
00:18:09because people drive to work and people don't think I'm driving through a safe liberal riding.
00:18:13Of course, they vote liberal. People drive to work through liberal ridings in urban areas and
00:18:17they think, oh my goodness, everyone's voting liberal or provincially, oh my goodness, everyone's
00:18:21voting NDP. And that's why you need to try for those ridings, because people don't think at a
00:18:27bird's eye view on politics thinking, well, of course, there's not a lot of signs there. It's
00:18:31an urban NDP riding. They just see, oh, my goodness, the NDP has a lot of support around
00:18:36here. And that's why all safe ridings need to be contended for hard. I would say anyone who lives
00:18:41in a safe riding definitely get a law and sign for the conservatives, because you want to make
00:18:45it more normal for the commuters coming through there, seeing there's even conservatives in
00:18:50Buffalo. There are even conservatives in Toronto Centre or Vancouver Centre or Vancouver Granville,
00:18:57if you get my point there. But thanks for that question. I thought that that's always an
00:19:01interesting setup to talk about my favourite thing, which is election strategy. John Gotti
00:19:08for $6.99. Thank you for the super chat, John Gotti. On a scale of one to ten, how much trouble
00:19:15is pure in the conservative party in trouble polls wise well let's say poll like one is like
00:19:21dead in the water cannot win the next election you know re if anything we should want a new
00:19:26election to re-roll the dice and 10 is it's all fake they're gonna win you know conservatives
00:19:32are secretly ahead by 10 points i would say it's honestly a five it's honestly a four maybe uh the
00:19:39polls are not good for them right now if they went to an election they would lose but we're not going
00:19:43to an election? Because everyone always thinks like, well, if the polls are so good, why wouldn't
00:19:48Carney call an election? It's like, well, that's not quite how it works. Because remember, Trudeau
00:19:52was actually quite ahead in the polls in 2021. And then he called the early election. And then
00:19:57his lead completely dissipated. And even Aaron O'Toole, who was pathetic, kept him to a minority0.97
00:20:03government. Because people don't really like the cynicism of just calling an early election.0.95
00:20:07Now, sometimes it's smart, but you got to like wait until like the last six months before the
00:20:11next election, then you call an early election, you find a good excuse. There's no good excuse
00:20:15for Carney to call one right now. And so he would lose if he called one right now. The polling
00:20:20position is still not good. Not that it's not good because we're definitely going to lose and
00:20:24there's going to be a snap election called. What's going on right now is just, I would say,
00:20:28the conservatives are still behind, but the silver lining is that they're probably only behind by
00:20:34four to six points. So you're in striking distance if you get your act together. And your act
00:20:38together includes bolder policies. It includes, I would say, a more grassroots approach to politics.
00:20:44Enable more of your MPs to kind of do their own messaging. I'd say Dean Allison doing his vaccine
00:20:49inquiry, even though that's not one of my biggest issues I care about, really smart that he's doing
00:20:53that because that is an issue a lot of people would probably rate as their top issue, even
00:20:58though it's very niche. And so let him, if he's passionate about it, let him go and do that. That's
00:21:03great for him to be going and doing uh so bolder policies more of a grassroots approach of course
00:21:08more of a grassroots approach when it comes to picking candidates and nominations that's why
00:21:13the conservatives lost mississauga and brampton i think they just picked really uninspiring candidates
00:21:17they appointed people they were just kind of like shoving people out of nominations like jeff wall
00:21:22who ended up running he was a hindu guy he ended up running then for the ppc and even though the
00:31:33And in a certain sense, I think people like Jamil Giovanni and Dean Allison have done a good job of just kind of going out and doing it. Maybe they were given permission to do the things that they were doing. I suspect that in part, they just kind of did it. And then the Conservative Party realized it was no big deal letting them do what they wanted. And they've been better off for it. So I would agree here with Stu saying he's not perfect, but he is good. I think he's good and he could get better. But there are certain things around bold policies that you need.
00:31:59I know it sounds so like generic to say he needs full policies, 20% tax cut as if, well, that's just, it's so simplistic, Wyatt. You can't just declare that and then win an election. It does change the narrative of an election. And the thing is, too, if you've ever gone door knocking, which you should once in your life, even if you just stand behind the MP, it's very interesting to watch.
00:32:18You really understand what people are like at the doors. You'll walk into an area thinking like, well, I can't believe that people are actually that crazy in favor of the Carney liberals and willing to just like carry war for them. You walk around certain neighborhoods. I heard people in North Vancouver, Capilano, they are in a quite upper middle class liberal area of North Vancouver, Capilano. And the people are like, we hate Pierre Polyev. We used to be conservatives. Now we're liberals. And it's like, oh my goodness, they don't even seem to care. Carney's not even fulfilling any of his promises.
00:32:47They they have simply become elbows up liberals. And it's just infuriating to see people are genuinely that obtuse. So that's why I always think that door knocking is a good idea. But your bold policies at the doors gives you as an MP candidate gives your volunteer something to talk about. Because sometimes we go to someone's door and all you have is I don't like what the government's currently doing, or let's slightly lower this tax or for the last six months of the year, let's get rid of the gas tax. Like, who cares? It's not that that's bad. It's just that it doesn't it's not media enough.
00:33:17and you need something really meaty to go to the doors,
00:33:19it's like you're going to the doors, it's like in a war,
00:33:23and you're like arming your troops to go fight the battle.
00:33:26Are you going to give them state-of-the-art weaponry
00:33:29and great tanks and air support and all that stuff?
00:33:33And that's, well, your air supports all your advertising
00:33:38Your tanks are making sure you have all those,
00:33:41your lawn signs and really good literature.
00:33:45And then your troops' small arms are the ideas they can take to that door so that they can say, hey, by the way, we're running and we're going to cut your taxes by 20 percent because right now our economy is shrinking every single year because we're kicking people in the country through high taxes.
00:44:08The stupid, the equation that they use to calculate how much different provinces get1.00
00:44:13is stupid and it holds them back from actually getting up on their own feet.1.00
00:44:17It's not even good for them. It's like welfare policy in general for individuals. It holds you back and we need to get rid of it. It is bad. The problem is people act like we should leave because of equalization and then we'll be better off. It's like, okay, if you leave, you're going to have to have an entire consulate system all over the world for all the countries worth being in, hire ambassadors and staff.1.00
00:44:37So Alberta, on net, pays about $3.5 billion into the equalization system that gets sucked away from us and spent on other provincial services in other provinces.
00:44:47I don't like that. I think we need to reform that. It's not even good for the provinces that we're keeping on this kind of welfare system.
00:44:54At the same time, if you left, the ambassadors and consulates and consulate staff you will need costs can to currently about $1.5 billion.
00:45:04dollars and that's kind of a fixed cost let's say alberta doesn't think we need to have a consulate
00:45:09in benin or nigeria or whatever although you might need to in terms of nigeria large countries that
00:45:14we want to export gas to eventually let's assume that you pretty much are you're in about 80 of
00:45:20the country's can the fines worth it to be in you're spending a billion dollars just on that0.95
00:45:25you can't just say well we're 12 of the population of cannibals only spend 12 of what they would0.92
00:45:30spend on ambassadors it's a fixed cost there's certain fixed costs you can't get away from0.57
00:45:34border security would cost us about another 350 million to a half a half a billion and then many
00:45:40other hidden costs that you don't kind of think about and by that point maybe alberta is definitely
00:45:44better off than canada based on the math but is it so much better it's worth burning that bridge
00:45:50when i think that the sovereignty movement can still do a lot within canada and as conservatives
00:45:56I want to export Alberta values in other provinces. That's why I work in BC. That's why I involve myself sometimes in Ontario and even in New Brunswick, which many people don't maybe know. I've helped run advertising campaigns for nonprofit groups for third party advertisers in New Brunswick. I've helped make the literature that's put out there.
00:46:16I think that's what needs to happen is that the entire country just needs to be sort of given the small government education because, by the way, a breakaway country of Alberta can also fall into the same stupid traps Toronto does too.0.99
00:46:30Just because we have oil and gas doesn't mean that we aren't susceptible to being stupid as well.0.84
00:46:35So I'd rather have a big goal of trying to reform the country rather than let's retreat and try and make this smaller section better because you're kind of limiting the scope of success by going smaller.0.97
00:46:46I am a conservative boomer, says she's been a member for seven months. So thank you, Patricia.
00:46:54Love when you're alive, Wyatt, you rock. ScottyW8R says, what will you do if Alberta
00:47:01referendum advances? Well, it's just not going to advance. Now, it's nothing to sneeze at the
00:47:07support they have. 30% is a lot. If you did an independence referendum in any other province,
00:47:11get like five or ten it's just not going to happen i would say if it did happen why just go along with
00:47:18it i just see what's going to happen and that's not hypocritical it's just kind of how it goes
00:47:22sometimes you know something happens you didn't expect you know we separate well i guess i live
00:47:27in a separate alberta and i'll figure out how that works then oh my goodness i wasn't drinking liquid
00:47:35wood for so long i can only buy this in the in america which is i guess my one pitch for the 51st
00:47:41state. Not that I actually believe in that for any NDP people clipping me in the future. I can buy
00:47:47diet barks in Montana. Okay, so Myron228 for $10 says, I have not watched Derek since I heard he
00:47:58screwed Clyde over. And yet he literally accused Clyde, and thank you for the $10, Myron,
00:48:03accused Clyde of committing a crime. He accused Clyde of stealing expensive microphones from him
00:48:09by getting them and not paying him back for them which doesn't even make sense or he somehow didn't
00:48:14like follow through on something he was supposed to do it was so it was such an insane accusation
00:48:20he then later had to delete that video because he fibs and this is the thing about him he just
00:48:25kind of fibs it's a problem raptorguy86 for five dollars says i hope you and moose on the loose
00:48:31david collaborate on a video sometime yeah i'd be willing to do that he tends to be a bit of a lone
00:48:36Wolf and I think he actually kind of works really well solo. So I don't think he really even does
00:48:40interviews or, or, or goes on other people's show. To be fair, I do talk to him in the background
00:48:46sometimes, especially about polling firms and how to read certain data in polls, just as I'd probably
00:48:52end up consulting some of his videos when it comes to things he knows about that I don't know about.
00:48:58A all nine, six, three, one says for $20. Thank you, by the way, for that. You have a cute dog
00:49:04photo is your profile off topic u.s border officers are friendlier but crossing back into
00:49:09canada i am canadian the canadian border officers are abusing their power horrendous a-holes and0.69
00:49:15arrogant as hell now i to be fair i've never experienced this coming back from um because i0.70
00:49:21sometimes go down to montana it's you know the u.s state right under alberta and i find that they're0.91
00:49:27always pretty friendly to me maybe you're in a jurisdiction where you're going over like the
00:49:31ambassador bridge uh or you're crossing from like bc into washington or into you know from
00:49:38ontario into michigan maybe the border crossings are a little bit different out there uh i think
00:49:43the culture of both alberta as well as the kind of east interior of of british columbia i don't
00:49:50think they take it too seriously they i think they're pretty they're pretty lenient overall
00:49:54as long as you're honest but that probably doesn't sound like it's been your experience
00:49:58wherever you happen to be crossing chan 5761 for 279 thank you says end indigenous consultations
00:50:06absolutely it's just an extortion method at this point consultations can go on forever until they
00:50:12feel satisfied which means money it means doing something else that they want it's just and it's
00:50:17bad for them it's like it's welfare culture it's welfare culture just as equalization is it's just
00:50:22as supply management is welfare culture ends up destroying communities it ends up destroying
00:50:27industries and destroying provinces so whenever people act like it's compassionate no it's not
00:50:32not at all unless you think it's compassionate to enrich chiefs who abuse their power and neglect
00:50:38the actual proper functioning of their reserve areas and i don't think reserves should even
00:50:43really exist because it's like a socialist state that you can't even own property on0.68
00:50:47which feels like it should probably violate some sort of property rights of those indigenous people
01:09:25Because I pointed out that she was not in favor of the Edmonton thing, and you just had to wait until the long weekend was over, and they were likely to make a statement on it.
01:09:35She didn't make a statement in favor of it.
01:09:37If she did that, I would be out here criticizing her, as I criticized her on other things when I thought she was on the wrong side of the issue.
01:09:43And when she got on the right side of the issue, I was happy with it.
01:09:46But he says here, at the time she didn't come out, and this is his co-host, at the time she didn't come out, she came out later.
01:09:53so let me get this straight you're pissed that he is not towing the conservative line
01:09:57you're pissed because he can praise and be critical of our elected officials because i
01:10:01was pointing out that he keeps oscillating between praising her and and literally attacking her for
01:10:06complete nonsense i i'm sorry but you can't say well she hadn't come out yet how many videos could
01:10:12i crank out every single day and i could be like oh my goodness pure poly of supports this thing
01:10:17the liberals are doing because he hasn't issued a statement in 24 hours like what are we talking
01:10:22about. And John is right. He is bipolar. He is just putting out content to get people to click
01:10:28on it. That is why he will say in a previous thumbnail, Mark Carney just gave Canada to
01:10:34Donald Trump, or it's that he'll put up posts where it says Donald Trump and Daniel Smith have
01:10:40a new Alberta independence announcement. No, they don't. Not even in any realm of reality
01:10:47did they say anything about alberta independence but it's just rage baiting or baiting your
01:10:52audience into clicking on something promising the world and nothing like it happens which resulted
01:10:57in this very funny interaction from a few days ago where he had a live stream where he was pumping
01:11:03up this idea that something big was coming out and you should definitely watch it because it's
01:11:07going to be like explosive what he has and it was just some clips of the freedom of the forever
01:11:12can to people who are ridiculous being ridiculous and i think somebody from the channel had like
01:11:17footage of them, you know, trying to raise money and Thomas Lukasik doing an event. Ridiculous0.99
01:11:23people. Thomas Lukasik is obviously breaking election rules. He kind of overhyped. It wasn't0.99
01:11:28that bad, but whatever. But one guy came back after he had overhyped that live stream about
01:11:34all the stuff that's going to be revealed. This guy, Scott Giboney, who is an independent
01:11:39supporter, who is an apparently a frequent watcher of him, said, dude, your clickbait
01:11:44posts are getting me to not watch your stuff you have a headline that's interesting but
01:11:48in reality it doesn't usually match the info to the greatness of the headline i'll tune in but
01:11:54it's silly or exaggerated i'm out derrick smith responds to that by saying sounds like an issue
01:12:00not an ish me and then he says you're right i just thought telling you may give you uh may
01:12:06may give you a wannabe full-time watch your opinion on on why i but maybe others don't tune
01:12:12in as often i watched just not everything what do i know i'm not a dude on camera thanks for what
01:12:17you do even if my intent was to give insight and derek then says maybe it's the way you said it
01:12:22i'm open to criticism but i'm also but i also give respect when when when it's also given
01:12:28was this rude am i taking crazy pills here guys was scott saying something rude here i feel like
01:12:38this is actually like a fairly like respectful way of nudging the person saying hey sometimes
01:12:44you make a title and it's not really the reality of what was going on and he just like dumps on
01:12:49the guy and acts like oh that's an issue not an ish me and that like i only i give respect when
01:12:54respect is given back it's like the guy wasn't disrespectful he he had a critique but you have
01:12:59people who define being mean or being too critical as just giving any critique at all like apparently
01:13:06he wanted a paragraph telling him how like you know attractive and wise he was before they said
01:13:12oh and also when you claimed that Daniel Smith just ended her career that that seemed not true
01:13:17and you said something that wasn't true about her position on an issue that she then clarified
01:13:22within like 24 hours when the long weekend ended it's just oh my goodness it's just hard to watch
01:13:30uh and again going through things like like claiming that Clyde do something stole stuff
01:13:36from him and whatnot it's getting much and I find that the independence space there are great people
01:13:41who support independence Corey Morgan Keith Wilson Eva Chibiuk tons of people John Bolton
01:13:47uh what's his name so Mitch Sylvester people I don't even exactly agree with on the issue I'm
01:13:53not an independence guy but they advocate for their side quite well I I think I've given slight
01:13:58criticism of John Bolton before because he was going after a conservative MP for having a Alberta
01:14:03flag in the background of his office that wasn't ironed it was creasy and it's like this is kind
01:14:08of the problem with independence sometimes all the messaging is a little bit too focused on those
01:14:12who already support it and not winning new people federalists don't care about a creasy flag and if
01:14:16you want to move them over sometimes you have to you know not harp on stuff like that but overall
01:14:21John Bolton does a good job stuff like this is what holds that movement back because everything
01:14:27is just over promising massively under delivering and frankly disrespect to people who don't already
01:14:35agree um but yeah and the thing is that i think it also gives the independence movement a bad name
01:14:41as if they're coming out to defeat danielle smith she has been giving them gifts and not like
01:14:46undeserved gifts like nenshi and the ndp claim that oh my goodness it's like they're it's like
01:14:51they're, it's like they're, she's trying, like they're always trying to accuse her of being a0.69
01:14:56secret separatist, which is absolutely ridiculous. What am I trying to say here? My point is that0.84
01:15:03it's not, the NDP likes to accuse her of having done too much for the separatists. I don't think
01:15:07she has. I think she's been very fair. She's lowered the referendum thresholds for petitions
01:15:12for everybody. And it's funny as the left still complains because their anti-Cole one didn't get
01:15:16on the referendum ballot this year uh but what the problem is we can't then have people on the
01:15:22other side who have already benefited massively from daniel smith's premiership saying it's not
01:15:27good enough now we're going to take you out for doing more than anyone else would have done and
01:15:31also for some reason we're allowed to lie about you because you've betrayed us in some abstract
01:15:37way because that was also what his co-host claimed to me was that they're like basically
01:15:41like speaking truth to power because daniel smith is powerful the pleb reporter says for five dollars
01:15:47thank you pleb white label just ended his career it's over mgip6ki descends in 13.99 well thank
01:15:55you mg that's very thoughtful of you helps out the channel the pleb reporter for five dollars says
01:16:01what do you think about mark zlipinski can you please review his content i actually find mark
01:16:06slipinski funny because he's so obviously an engagement farmer it just becomes ridiculous
01:16:11and kind of comedic just how frankly pathetic the whole thing is at some point i'll review them
01:16:18oh pleb you and pleb clyde any other creators watching this start watching illyria a it's
01:16:25i need to go find her channel she's really really funny she's a liberal and she just like basically
01:16:31puts out the elbows up line so dedicatedly it becomes really hilarious so check out this
01:16:39her channel here i got onto it because this this video she released over here where it says0.95
01:16:46carney might cave on u.s booze and dairy here's why it doesn't even matter but she is that liberal
01:16:53if mark carney suddenly reverses himself overnight on a big campaign promise or his elbows up stuff
01:16:58she'll say, oh, it's perfect. It was so wise that he did this. So guys, go and subscribe to Illyria
01:17:03A if you're a content creator and you just want to find funny, like elbows up liberal videos to
01:17:08talk about sometimes. I'm not going to abuse it too much. I'll filter them in, feather them in
01:17:13sometimes. FHawk 595 says, so you think the amending formula in its current form allows
01:17:19change? The sun will go out before that happens. It's difficult. The amending formula, my point is
01:17:25sometimes people make this argument of saying, well, it's so hard to amend anything, and the
01:17:30chances that something happens are going to be very, very slim. Ergo independence. But the thing
01:17:35is that that's not an argument for independence, because independence activists, and I'm saying
01:17:41this as advice, not as naysaying, they have to make the case for Alberta, and they have to fill
01:17:45in the blanks on things like monetary policy, the military, the borders, the ambassadorships and
01:17:51consulates, all of the other services that we're going to have to take on as a government that we
01:17:55don't have the infrastructure to really house right now, all of that needs a plan. I think that
01:18:00there is a chance that you could amend it. Is it slim? Sure. But if we do the right things,
01:18:04we can expand that chance that it will happen. And I just think that this doesn't then endorse
01:18:10the independence movement that I think is kind of half-baked in a lot of ways. And that's not saying
01:18:15I think it's ridiculous or it's stupid. That's not my point. I'm saying it's half-baked in the0.99
01:18:20sense that the movement tends to message towards all the people who already agree and can already
01:18:24picture in their own minds how this stuff will happen there are too many people who that's not
01:18:28the blanks have not been filled in so they think it's pie in the sky now i i have reasons why i
01:18:33think it's still not really worth the cost benefit analysis doesn't really isn't really there for it
01:18:38but if you want to get some of the people on the fence over you have to be able to fill in blanks
01:18:43rather than saying things in albert or things in canada suck we can't amend anything so let's leave
01:18:48it's like well you need a little more than that with certain people
01:18:50uh d1s destroyed is i believe that how that said for uh been an eight-month member he says good
01:19:00evening why and tnt enjoy your joyers do you think we should uphold our allies on the right
01:19:05to a higher standard than our enemies on the left and why well and i think that's the point of what
01:19:10i'm saying here when you have channels who are simply just kind of pushing things that didn't
01:19:16happen as news on their channel. Trump and Smith have a new independence announcement for Alberta.
01:19:23You know, Danielle Smith wants Pierre Polioff's job. Mark Carney just gave away the country.
01:19:29You know, Danielle Smith ended her career. She's trying to bribe you and stuff like that. And it's
01:19:33like, no, that didn't happen. Or at least how you're describing it is so exaggerated, it does
01:19:40not actually resemble the truth in any way. And that's a problem, because it makes people
01:19:44understand politics less when everything is shock jock tabloid stuff rather than what are the polls
01:19:51looking like why are the polls that way here's a cbc segment here's what the person said here's
01:19:56why it's wrong or what the stuff that northern perspective and moose on the loose do that are
01:20:00highly analytical that teach you things that you would have not known unless they explained it
01:20:04i learned stuff from them they do a very very good job uh baked on things does a great job
01:27:59And again, Andy Lee had claimed that he was there posting when he was supposed to be voting and you're not allowed to be voting outside of the country of Canada.
01:28:09A lot of people want to remove the get rid of the remote voting rules as well that you shouldn't be able to sit at home just voting and never actually showing up to Parliament.
01:28:17I agree. It should be for limited circumstances. You can get speakers permission to vote from home.
01:28:22Let's say you have cancer treatments and you want to stay, you want to recuperate your own home and you're doing parliament from at home and you get like a note from your doctor and the speaker lets you do it for a couple months.
01:38:03The problem is when the party gets scared to check those boxes.
01:38:06You know what I mean? Like they don't. Oh, well, if we do that, someone might criticize us. Who cares? You're trying to get the people who care about that issue out. Who cares if someone who didn't like you on that issue before is going to complain about it? That person is still probably going to show up even if they complain, if you're really good on the one issue that they care about.
01:55:31And they're rightfully frustrated with Ottawa. I'm frustrated with Ottawa in a lot of ways. But you can't assume that, like, let's say the 30-year-old woman shares your frustration. She probably connects with your frustration 0%. And it's not because she loves Ottawa. She just doesn't understand the issue.
01:55:47But I find the independence movement assumes everyone understands the issues super well, and then they don't do advocacy door-to-door in suburban areas trying to inform people or trying to convince people.
01:55:58There's too much internal messaging that goes on to people who already believe and nobody outside of the tent.
01:56:21And that's my best I can give the independence people.
01:56:24Figure out how to win a suburban area and then you can be on your way.
01:56:27But I don't think they were interested, the leaders, in that.
01:56:31The rank and file independence people probably are.
01:56:33People like Jeff Rath don't really seem interested, in my opinion.
01:56:37Many of the other guys like putting up signs in rural areas because it looks good because
01:56:41there's a decent amount of independence support out there.
01:56:43You get to the city, and I'm driving around my riding in the most blue provincial riding in Calgary, Calgary West, and there's really nothing. It's really nothing, because there's people who wear sweaters and button-up shirts like me who vote conservative every time, but we're not really enthralled by the culture of the independence movement, and let's kick Ottawa's butt and whatnot, especially because the costs haven't been added up for why it would be better.
01:57:11You can't just say equalization. You have to say why having our own ambassadors and consulates and our own currency production and our own military and our own border security for all four sides of the province as its own country would still be better than the equalization.
01:57:26Like that would those costs would be lower. You get my point? Like that's what they need to answer. And I'm not even saying it's a bad idea.
01:57:31I'm not saying like, oh, it's a stupid idea for stupid people.0.99
01:57:35Very good ideas are in the movement, but they then have to make, answer the unknown questions1.00
01:57:41that people have, and they wonder how that would work, or would this all fall apart,
01:57:44or would this be a disaster if it happened?
01:57:46You have to be able to elucidate those for people, or else they're going to say no, because
01:57:52no one votes for massive change when there's a lot of what you'd call imponderables.
01:57:57There's a lot of question marks everywhere.
01:57:58jessica for 279 says did you see the funniest lake names in canada
01:58:06no i haven't probably if that's a new video video i haven't but i'm aware of the funny names that
01:58:13some lakes are called in canada probably a lot into them in manitoba as they were getting lazy
01:58:19and just trying to name stuff on mass aall 9631 for ten dollars thank you aall says wyatt you
01:58:27should be Polly's advisor. I really wish he would listen to your suggestions. I think they somewhat
01:58:32listen and they somewhat listen to other creators. And by the way, they somewhat listen to regular
01:58:37people who don't do politics all day who send in suggestions. I would say Andrew Lawton is the
01:58:43current guy in charge of policy. He's in charge of platform development. Andrew Lawton is a great guy
01:58:50to be sending suggestions into. If you have a policy suggestion, send them in. I think it's
01:58:56great to think on these things for yourself as well. Come up with your own unique ideas
01:58:59and send them in because it might actually influence them. If they see people are sending
01:59:03them in bold suggestions for what they want on policy, they're going to think, oh, well,
01:59:08we definitely need to run on this because we keep getting like seven, eight, 10, 20 emails a day
01:59:12saying 20% tax cut, or I want to see this major reduction in capital gains, or I want to see this
01:59:18different policy on pro-life or guns or infrastructure or military or whatever.
01:59:24You get my point. Immigration, definitely.0.99
01:59:30Nothing personal says we don't need a federally run school lunch program.
01:59:34Absolutely. Very easy way of saving money.
01:59:37And if people's taxes are cut, no excuse not to be providing your own kids school lunch.
01:59:43If a local public school wants to pay for it themselves, they can do that.
01:59:47I don't really see what the point of it is.1.00
01:59:49There's that, oh my goodness, there's that really stupid...0.99
01:59:54There was that really stupid debate that was going on in the United States about $20 burritos, if you ever saw that, where people were saying it was like elitist of people to say that you shouldn't be buying $20 burritos, and that one thing would frustrate me.0.99
02:05:35The actual titles and whatnot are obnoxious.0.62
02:05:39I bet you, like Charlie Angus's show, which is low-quality sludge content,
02:05:44There's probably unions and other liberal front groups that are promoting these into people's email lists and into people's feeds. There's a lot of money behind promoting stuff like the Midas Media Canada crap. That's actually, oddly enough, these people complain about foreign interference, and yet Charlie Angus is literally funded by an American progressive front group trying to separate Canada from Republicans to basically make it so that every time a Republican gets elected, Canada shifts away, making Republicans in theory in America more0.91
02:06:14unelectable because every time we elect a republican we have problems with canada like
02:06:19but yeah this the the content from some of these people is just straight trash we're winning the0.95
02:06:27trade war right now you you can bet your bottom dollar i'm gonna have to make a video on that
02:06:32one because i need to hear how we're actually totally winning right now uh someone here gun
02:32:35I said that in articles. And then in early 25, probably listening to public opinion or from people, from people's feedback, she reversed herself, became far more immigration restrictionist, said Alberta wants to take over its own immigration.
02:32:50Great. Happy with that. Certain other things started up. I was happy with that. So my content has always been very consistent.
02:32:57If I had a problem, I'd explain the problem. And then if that problem was resolved because the Smith government did a better job on it, I'm happy.
02:33:03special and parental rights did a very good job on that one she's continuing to do a good job on
02:33:08it by honestly extending that win with more policy suggestions banning political flags from schools
02:33:14some people report it as like it's a pride flag ban not really it's it's a it's a ban on all
02:33:19political flags you know you can't put the ccp flag in your classroom you can't put the christian0.85
02:33:24flag in your classroom can't put the pride flag in your classroom as it should be in a public school0.95
02:33:28i'm a christian i don't need christian flags in public schools it should be the canadian flag
02:33:33Alberta flag flag of Calgary if you're in Calgary and like the Union Jack that should be the flags
02:33:38or other flags of Canada obviously um going through this thank you for the five dollars
02:33:44Stacey Williams I don't know if you meant to attach a uh a comment to that but you've been
02:33:49very very generous and Katara Olson uh dad was CIA yeah that is always funny that uh in fact
