The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Team Trudeau is trying to coronate Mark Carney - Cristy Clark drops out!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. So the Liberal Party leadership race is heating up with Carney

00:00:06.580 and Freeland set to announce their candidacy later this week, and we already have a major

00:00:12.840 candidate dropping out of the race. You barely realize she was in the race, but Christy Clark

00:00:18.160 entered and left basically within the same five-day period. Heck of a ride. Good job,

00:00:25.140 but it was truly mesmerizing to watch Christy Clark jump into this race, have the dumbest scandal

00:00:32.320 possible by lying about ever becoming a Conservative Party member briefly, and then 0.73

00:00:37.500 effectively through the trolling and jokes of anonymous accounts on X, she lost her nerve

00:00:44.480 and is now no longer seeking the Liberal Party leadership. Like, why? It demonstrates that she

00:00:53.220 didn't have the medal to win the leadership in the first place if that one bump in the road was

00:00:59.080 enough to throw her off. By the way, her lie was the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. 0.99

00:01:04.360 Right now, the zeitgeist inside the Liberal Party, at least with most of the members who are not hyper 0.98

00:01:11.000 Trudeau partisans, is they want somebody who is not like Trudeau, somebody less left-wing. And

00:01:18.040 Christy Clark decided that even though she could have actually claimed, I know she is actually still

00:01:23.360 very left, but she could have claimed, hey, I've been a member of the Conservative Party briefly,

00:01:28.500 but I've mainly been a Liberal. I ran the BC Liberal Party, which was a big tent party,

00:01:33.940 and I am the right centrist person to lead the federal Liberals forward. Instead, she then defaults

00:01:39.540 because probably the dumbest consultant in the world was advising her. And she says, I've been a 0.99

00:01:44.180 lifelong Liberal. I'm a loyal party member. Guys, loyalty right now is actually the problem.

00:01:50.060 In fact, the only thing probably making Freeland seem like an interesting option in this leadership

00:01:56.180 race is the fact that she backstabbed Trudeau on the way out and demonstrated that she had like 0.94

00:02:02.020 some backbone. It was all pettiness that drove her to backstab Trudeau. Trudeau obviously deserves it,

00:02:09.460 but they both deserve it. But that's the only reason she's in the race. And then Clark decides,

00:02:13.180 no, no, no, I'm going to jump into the same lane that Mark Carney is in. Mark Carney, by the way,

00:02:19.680 has just actually taken the lead in the race. Is it because he deserves it? No, it's because

00:02:26.360 Trudeau wants him to be in the lead. You see, Team Trudeau is throwing everything in the kitchen

00:02:31.680 sink behind Mark Carney because for their own honor, they cannot have Freeland win because it will be

00:02:38.260 looking, it will look like an upset of Team Trudeau. I know Carney is out there saying,

00:02:43.760 oh, well, I'm an outsider and I'm going to breathe new life into this party. He's not. It's one of the

00:02:50.520 most obvious things that anyone will have to say in political commentary. Mark Carney is not a political

00:02:56.960 outsider. He is an outsider in the same way that Gerald Butts would be an outsider if he decided to run for

00:03:03.820 the Liberal Party leadership. Yes, he's never been in the caucus or cabinet, but he is Trudeau's economic

00:03:10.640 financial advisor. What? Frank Bayless, you could maybe say as an outsider, he's one of the guys

00:03:18.280 running from Montreal. He was a one term MP between 2015 and 2019. If I was a Liberal member, I'm not.

00:03:26.140 I'm a very orthodox conservative. I'd probably vote Frank Bayless. At least he's an actual business owner

00:03:31.040 and he's not a career politician in a bad way. Being in office for a long time is not inherently

00:03:36.060 a bad thing. Polyev has been in office for a very long time. He's also very good at his job,

00:03:40.920 so I have no problem with it. But from Bayless's perspective, he can say, I had no problem. I was

00:03:45.480 not involved in the last two terms of Trudeau. I was only involved in the arguably more successful

00:03:51.440 one between 2015 and 2019. It wasn't successful. It's still bad, but at least he can actually say he's

00:03:56.860 an outsider. Mark Carney cannot. But let's get back to this poll here, showing where all the candidates

00:04:03.920 are currently at. The last poll we looked at, I believe Freeland, and these are coming from

00:04:08.960 different companies, so they will have different methodologies. But the last one we looked at,

00:04:13.360 Freeland was at like 23% or so. Carney was at like 17% or 15%. But things have reversed. Mark Carney is

00:04:20.560 now 27 points in this poll. Freeland is only at 21%. She slid like a little bit compared to other 1.00

00:04:28.900 polls, although from this company's last poll, she basically maintained the same spot. Clark,

00:04:34.760 before she decided to jump out, was at 5%. Francois-Philippe Champagne is at 4%, although he just

00:04:40.900 announced today that he is also not running. I should show you his post announcing he's not

00:04:45.520 running. It's so weird. Like he makes it like this triumphant, like leadership-looking

00:04:49.500 pose in the photo. And then he says, by the way, guys, I'm bowing out. Anita Anand, who's also not

00:04:54.880 running, is at 3%. And Chandra Aria, give him credit, the man's at 3%. And then Karina Gould,

00:05:01.400 who just announced today that she's running, is at 1%. For the best meme candidates, I would say

00:05:08.540 Chandra Aria is one of the funniest. And then I would say Karina Gould is the second funniest.

00:05:14.500 Chandra Aria, because not only does he not speak French, which doesn't really bother me as an

00:05:19.140 Albertan, but he can, he doesn't speak English that well. That makes him really funny. Plus,

00:05:24.160 he's like the anti-DEI candidate, which seems like a bit of an oddball move for that guy to be

00:05:29.800 pulling. But Karina Gould is basically the female Mark Gerritsen. So I'd really like to see her become 0.78

00:05:36.580 the leader. That would be funny. And she'd be guaranteed to lose her seat in Burlington. Emily 0.96

00:05:42.300 Brown is a very good conservative candidate out there. I believe she is currently the official nominee.

00:05:46.760 So I hope Emily Brown beats her in that race. But yeah, Karina Gould is the biggest woke school that 0.78

00:05:56.220 you'll ever see in government. She talks like a combination between Chrystia Freeland and Mark 1.00

00:06:02.700 Gerritsen. It's like similarly whiny at the same time she has that like overly aggressive Mark 1.00

00:06:08.800 Gerritsen energy. But now I just want to jump down to another poll result just to show the variability

00:06:14.900 that's been going on here. So this one has Chrystia Freeland at 14, Mark Carney 13, Clark 5, Champagne 5,

00:06:23.700 Anand 2, Aria 1, and Gould 1. So, and I think really what we're going to see here is how much does

00:06:32.640 Team Trudeau have an effect on this race? Because outside of the fact that Trudeau's team is backing

00:06:38.060 Mark Carney, the man should have no support. He's uninteresting. And there's all this weird like

00:06:44.100 artificial hype around Mark Carney right now that I don't understand why people think it's going to

00:06:50.400 like help him. If anything, it makes him more cloying and annoying. Like here's this Roddy guy,

00:06:56.800 a liberal partisan saying, well, two weeks ago from now, Mark Carney will have nationalism on his side

00:07:02.860 over pure Polyev. When the foreign interference report gets released, oh yes, of course, this

00:07:07.340 mythical report will show that Trudeau was in the right and Polyev was in the wrong. Polyev will

00:07:12.260 still only have slogans. Start your engines, folks. Okay, sure, sure, guys. Evan Scrimshaw here, who is,

00:07:20.520 I tried to listen to his podcast and I had to turn it off for my own safety. It was particularly boring.

00:07:26.780 But he's responding to this Colin Hicks guy saying, I too thought the interview was decent overall,

00:07:32.200 but I don't understand the hype from what was really a puff piece comedy bit. And he is referring to

00:07:37.680 Mark Carney going on Jon Stewart's show, which I'm going to be making a more edited response to to

00:07:43.720 demonstrate honestly how bad that interview was. When you think about all of the stilts that like

00:07:49.820 Mark Carney was under trying to make him seem interesting, it was just bad. It demonstrates he has no

00:07:54.780 knack for seeming personable or charismatic. But Evan Scrimshaw, in response to this, says,

00:08:01.460 the reason it is generating hype is that nobody really doubts Carney's got the intelligence or

00:08:07.360 the ideas to be good at the job of prime minister. They're worried about whether he can do the job

00:08:12.840 of a politician. And he did very well at the politician's skill set. He did what he wanted

00:08:18.620 to see. What you wanted to see was that interview. It was boring. And now you have like people posting

00:08:23.780 like pictures of Carney and saying, hello, Mark Carney, clean up Freeland on aisle 25. Game changer.

00:08:30.620 Oh, yes, this man is a game changer. Mark Carney and Christia Freeland are the personification of the

00:08:39.220 color beige. The fact anyone is trying to hype these people up as interesting folks should indict them

00:08:45.860 as being wires. I want to show you the thing I posted today because I think it really sums it up well.

00:08:51.620 I said this. I just had to bring it up on screen quick.

00:08:57.180 These two objects really capture the raw excitement of the two front runners for the Liberal Party

00:09:01.920 leadership race. You know which one is which. And I think you guys can hash out who the beige binder

00:09:08.420 is and who the leather padded sweater is. Comment down in the comment section of who you think each

00:09:16.340 one is in this liberal leadership. But yeah, I want to bring up one more video from Daniel

00:09:21.800 Boardman, who's running his own satirical Liberal Party leadership campaign. But before we get to that,

00:09:27.640 guys, like this video, subscribe, do all that great stuff. We have a we are trying to get to 100,000

00:09:34.260 subscribers by mid-December of this year. So every new subscription like, you know, counts really helps

00:09:39.940 out the channel. But now I'm going to bring up Daniel Boardman, because he's the real man we can

00:09:45.520 put our faith in in this election. By the way, notice that none of those leadership polls put

00:09:50.300 Jeremy Batsy in the running, even though he's actually announced before Karina Gould.

00:09:56.180 But people do not care who he is. But here is a candidate that we can really get behind,

00:10:02.040 Mr. Daniel Boardman campaigning from India, which is very fitting for the Liberal Party leadership to be

00:10:08.580 campaigning in either India or China.

00:10:14.880 Asalaam Alekh, Daniel Boardman, future Prime Minister of Canada. And I was just doing what

00:10:19.360 regular commoners do in shopping for some jewelry, but you never get it when it's on a discount price.

00:10:24.760 So I was informed by one of my servants, sorry, slaves, friends, that Mark Carney has announced he is

00:10:31.440 running for Prime Minister of Canada on The Daily Show in America. And that is my thing. Okay.

00:10:37.660 I thought this is going to be an easy race, but good on Mark Carney for figuring out that you better

00:10:42.320 campaign in a country of 300 million than 40 million. But again, I remind you that I am running

00:10:48.460 in a country of 1.5 billion. So I realized I'm going to have to step my game up, which is why I'm

00:10:53.560 shopping for a gift from my friend, well, soon to be friend, Ghislaine Maxwell. Ghislaine, I need your

00:10:59.400 help on this campaign. I know you and Mark Carney go way back, but I can promise you a lot more than

00:11:03.980 him. I can promise two sex criminal islands in Canada. Victoria will be renamed Maxwell Island

00:11:09.920 and Newfoundland will be renamed New Epstein Island. You will get two sex criminal islands, 0.95

00:11:16.300 coast to coast to coast. And Mark Carney, he's an elitist. You don't like an elitist. You don't like

00:11:22.680 these elitist condescending institutions like the Canadian Senate. I'm for the common man. When I am

00:11:28.880 my minister, I will abolish the Senate and replace it with a Chinese police station. Konnichiwa. 1.00

00:11:35.940 How can you argue with that? How can you argue? Make that boy the Liberal Party leader. He clearly

00:11:41.480 knows what he's talking about, at least more than all the other children running right now. And but

00:11:47.160 yeah, there's nothing interesting here in the Liberal leadership race at all in terms of we're going to be

00:11:52.480 talking about like the dynamic between the candidates and why people are running and what lane they're in

00:11:58.600 and who's backing them. And it seems like it's going to turn into like the rebel Liberals backing

00:12:02.640 Freeland versus like Trudeau's crew. And I don't doubt people like Chandra Aria and all these random

00:12:09.120 who cares candidates are jumping in the race because they probably dislike Trudeau or maybe they like

00:12:15.160 Trudeau and they're jumping in the race specifically because it's going to be a multi-ballot system that

00:12:21.000 they're going to then try and throw their support either to Kearney or Freeland. And I think most of

00:12:25.320 them, in fact, are probably working for Freeland trying to gather a few thousand votes and then

00:12:31.320 telling people to mark Freeland number two or three on their ballot to make sure that the votes start

00:12:35.960 flowing to her. Because I guarantee you what the Liberals, the Trudeau Liberals in the party wanted

00:12:42.320 was for this race to basically just be a Mark Carney coronation. They're already annoyed that Freeland is

00:12:48.120 in the race. But what's even more annoying is when they have to deal with, you know, Karina Gould,

00:12:53.220 Jeremy Batsy, or yeah, like Jamie Batsy, Chandra Aria. They have a bunch of other also rands also in the

00:13:01.500 race that I can never name off the top of my head. But this allows for those people to then siphon 0.99

00:13:07.200 through their communities more votes into Chrystia Freeland. But to finish this video off, I do want to

00:13:13.440 comment on this thing. The PPC people, stop doing this. Again, I'm never saying the PPC should go

00:13:19.600 away. Stop getting in Pierre Polyev's way. I don't care about what Pierre Polyev wants because that's

00:13:26.140 not my job in life to care what Polyev wants. My thing with the PPC is, guys, become serious.

00:13:33.120 Become something that Canadians will actually vote for. Do not just be the online social media party.

00:13:38.140 And I have no problem with you. I just don't want you wasting your donors' money doing nonsense.

00:13:44.180 Not that this post costs money, but the attitude inside the party is demonstrative of people who

00:13:49.240 are not serious. Look at this post by Patricia Conlon, who was the PPC candidate in Durham.

00:13:56.080 She's posting this and it says, this election outcome would save Canada. 47% conservative.

00:14:02.560 Somehow the liberals and the NDP do not run, the bloc gets aid, and the PPC gets 41% and becomes

00:14:08.620 the official opposition. To which I commented, I like that even in the fantasy world of the PPC,

00:14:15.400 they still only come second place. And guys, stop wish casting. This is as embarrassing as people

00:14:22.140 saying, Mark Carney's so brat. He's so interesting. He's so funny. Guys, doing the same thing but for

00:14:28.700 Maxime Bernier is not working. But why? Did you read the platform? It doesn't matter. Guys,

00:14:34.260 the Christian Heritage Party and the Libertarian Party also have platforms. Why aren't you voting

00:14:39.080 for them if you're a PPC person? Oh, they can't win. You guys can't win either because you haven't

00:14:44.160 done the work. If you do the work, I will give you guys even shout outs and respect if there seems

00:14:49.580 to be real work on the ground trying to push the party forward. It's a game of inches in politics.

00:14:55.060 Oh, but the Conservatives and Liberals don't have to work this hard. Yeah, because they're

00:14:59.040 established parties. If you're trying to start a new party, you got to work your fingers to the

00:15:03.520 bone. What do you think Elizabeth May honestly did to win her seat finally in a province that she 0.98

00:15:08.500 didn't live in? She lived in Nova Scotia. She moved to Vancouver Island to find a good riding to run it 0.99

00:15:13.540 and worked her butt off to run it. I do not like Elizabeth May, but I can appreciate her hustle. 1.00

00:15:19.600 Maxime Bernier is notoriously lazy and he needs to figure out what he's doing with the party.

00:15:23.980 Anyways, so that's it for me today, guys. Remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel.

00:15:29.240 If you want to support the channel financially, you can always donate to the legal fund.

00:15:33.240 Give, send, go link both in the description below as well as in the comments. And make sure to vote

00:15:38.480 for Daniel Boardman for the Liberal Party leadership. See you guys later.
