The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - The Liberal Smear Campaign： All Conservatives = Traitors to Canada？

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.180 In the aftermath of former Conservative MP Matt Jenneru crossing the floor and joining

00:00:11.640 Mark Carney's Liberals, I have noticed a substantial uptick in the amount of anti-Conservative

00:00:17.980 propaganda coming out of the legacy media. I know the legacy media is already synonymous

00:00:24.100 with being a Liberal Party front group, but I think it has gotten so much more blatant

00:00:29.600 in the past few days because the legacy media and the Liberal Party smell blood in the water

00:00:35.540 after Matt Jenneru crossed the floor, and they want to try and smear all Conservatives

00:00:40.400 as being traitors to the country for not jumping on board with Mark Carney's Liberal government. 0.98

00:00:47.180 There's this stupid game that's being played that because Mark Carney is opposing Donald Trump, 0.99

00:00:52.860 that means if you're not on Team Mark Carney, then you are somehow a traitor, even if you are trying 0.99

00:00:58.560 to help Mark Carney deal with Donald Trump as Conservative MP Jamil Giovanni did, and then was

00:01:04.660 blatantly smeared by the legacy media. So in just a second here, I want to get to some absolutely

00:01:10.560 insane examples of the sorts of things the Liberal media is platforming right now, but before we get

00:01:17.080 into it, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on this video,

00:01:22.540 subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber, leave a comment about what you think about this mess.

00:01:28.520 I always try and go through several dozen comments, read what people are saying, and respond to a

00:01:32.940 smattering of people. I can't respond to everyone, of course, because some videos have like a thousand

00:01:36.980 comments, and eventually I can kind of categorize them into about 10 different bins of the same type

00:01:43.700 of comment. But anyways, and then if you also want to support the channel financially, you can always hit

00:01:48.960 the join button below the video and make a monthly contribution to make the channel more sustainable

00:01:53.640 for me and make me less reliant on the YouTube algorithm. But let's get into our first clip here,

00:01:59.940 and here we have the Liberal strategist David Hurley on CBC News talking about Matt Jenner crossing the

00:02:09.280 floor and how the Conservatives are basically all mega at this point. Now, I am not upset that the

00:02:17.140 legacy media has a Liberal strategist on, have anyone you want on. The problem is they don't

00:02:22.560 really ever have Conservative people on outside of the obligatory, like, I guess, appearances of

00:02:30.720 Conservative party, like, communications people. They kind of have to have them on, but they don't

00:02:35.980 have just Conservative commentators on to say anything. The ones they have on panels who are

00:02:41.700 supposed to be the Conservatives are people like Andrew Coyne or Fred DeLore, who are not

00:02:46.560 Conservative at all, but a, you know, full-blooded Liberal like David Hurley, of course, is allowed

00:02:52.780 on, and he can say whatever he wants with no challenge from anyone else.

00:02:56.560 I think it's different from other floor crossings generally, because I think this is indicative of

00:03:03.680 a very large schism that's going on inside that political party. We're having some dramatic

00:03:10.080 political events in Canada around our relationship with the United States and around possible

00:03:17.040 separatist referendums in Quebec and Alberta, and I think that party, which is a coalition

00:03:24.160 of Western reformers and old progressive Conservatives, is having a very difficult time managing both of

00:03:33.280 those issues. And its current leadership is that Western reform wing of the coalition. And, you know,

00:03:42.640 so frankly, they're mega. They're mega-sympathetic, mega-adjacent.

00:03:47.360 What does he even mean by that? Like, first, we have to go back in his claim about there's a schism

00:03:54.560 inside the Conservative party right now. Evidence? Evidence? You can say, well, people are crossing the floor.

00:04:00.640 Okay, well, give me a citation that would convince me that those people left because of a political schism

00:04:08.240 inside the party. Chris Dontremont, the best information we have is that he left because he wasn't

00:04:13.600 given the deputy speaker role and the extra $50,000 a year that comes with that position. Someone else was

00:04:19.520 made the deputy speaker inside the Conservative party, and he got mad and felt unappreciated, and he left.

00:04:25.280 He can say, well, I just think it's time for us to, you know, unify the country behind Mark Carney. I

00:04:32.880 think he's done some good stuff. But these people can't cite anything but just microwave liberal propaganda

00:04:38.880 for why they're shifting over. Michael Ma said, oh, well, Mark Carney's a unifier. He's a strong leader, and we

00:04:46.960 need stability right now. Like, what? That's nothing. That's a popcorn fart of a reason for

00:04:54.080 crossing the floor. And now with Matt Jenneru, he says, oh, well, Mark Carney's Davos speech is why I

00:05:00.320 left. His Davos speech was basically his old campaign propaganda put on at the World Economic Forum.

00:05:07.600 That's all that happened there. Shouldn't he have left way sooner if the Davos speech was enough to

00:05:13.040 make him cross? Clearly, that's not why he actually crossed. Now, maybe these people have personal

00:05:18.000 problems with the Conservative party leadership, but I don't see an ideological schism like David Hurley's

00:05:24.400 trying to claim here. And then the claim that these people are mega and mega sympathetic. What do you

00:05:31.280 mean by that? Dude, explain. What do you think that they want America to win? They want Canada to be

00:05:38.240 annexed? They want to lose a trade war? You couldn't actually credibly accuse any of these people of

00:05:45.200 somehow not wanting Canada to get rid of the tariffs and for us to have, you know, a better economy and,

00:05:50.880 you know, to not have our jobs taken by the United States. None of them believe that. So he's staying

00:05:56.480 vague and just saying, well, they're mega, mega sympathetic. Is he saying that there are

00:06:01.040 some people in the Conservative party, I'd probably say a little more than half, who like a lot of the

00:06:05.200 policies of Donald Trump? Okay, well, that's not controversial. That's basically saying Conservatives

00:06:09.840 like Conservative policy, and much of Donald Trump's policy is conservative. Now, I don't like the tariff

00:06:15.440 policy, but I like other policies of his. I like a lot of the immigration policy. I like a lot of social

00:06:20.080 policy. I like his domestic tax policy. Does this mean I'm now mega sympathetic? I'm just a

00:06:27.520 conservative. That's just what it's being called. Like, I'm like a gold water conservative, which would

00:06:33.520 mean that I like a lot of what Trump does. I like a lot of what Margaret Thatcher did. I like a lot of what

00:06:37.840 Georgia Maloney does in Italy right now. But again, they're trying to just throw that mega word out as 1.00

00:06:43.520 much as possible to scare voters in the middle who don't really follow politics enough to have, like, very

00:06:49.680 strong, coherent thoughts, and get them over to the Liberal camp out of fear that the Conservatives could give away the

00:06:55.520 country to the mega Republicans. Whether that's Paulie F himself or Andrew Scheer or Jenny Byrne or

00:07:02.960 Michelle Rempel, people that are kind of in charge are very sympathetic. Well, it's not surprising then

00:07:08.240 that there'd be lots of other members that are uncomfortable with that. That's very funny to accuse

00:07:14.400 any of those people of being like mega people. I think the closest person to being like that side of

00:07:21.520 conservatism would maybe be Andrew Scheer because he is a more socially conservative and fiscally

00:07:27.120 conservative guy. But again, that would just be describing the fact that he's a very strong

00:07:32.480 conservative. Michelle Rempel as a mega conservative? No. If anything, Michelle Rempel every couple years 1.00

00:07:39.680 does some extremely liberal things and then ends up getting in hot water with conservative members,

00:07:44.960 like when that one time where she, like, attacked people who are protesting in favor of parental rights.

00:07:50.480 No. Jenny Byrne is not a mega conservative. I wish she was more like that. But again, that's just me,

00:07:56.720 basically me saying I wish she was more conservative. But goodness gracious, all basically,

00:08:02.160 again, what David Hurley is trying to do is throwing as many darts hoping that he can affect the

00:08:07.360 consciences of sensitive people and get them to move over to the Liberals because they don't want to be

00:08:11.920 called mega by hacks like David Hurley who runs a podcast that nobody listens to. Especially as

00:08:18.000 Carney carves out sort of a very pro-Canada positioning. And the referendums present similar

00:08:24.320 problems. So I think that the next couple of years are really going to be difficult for that party

00:08:29.920 and floor crossings may be the least of their problems. Oh, it's going to be the least of their

00:08:34.880 problems there. Again, give me a citation to prove to me that Matt Jenneru left because of ideological

00:08:41.760 reasons and it wasn't personal petty issues that he had with people inside the party.

00:08:46.000 It proved to me that Chris Dontremont really just fell in love with what Mark Carney was doing

00:08:52.000 because all these people were condemning what Carney was doing like five seconds before they left.

00:08:56.880 Now, maybe that just says something about Canadian politics that so many MPs are handed a script

00:09:02.000 and they read it and they sit back down and they don't care about what they read. I work for Dallas

00:09:07.040 Brody at the BC legislature and the funny thing is whenever there's like a debate going on on a bill,

00:09:12.800 you are allowed to speak for 30 minutes and we always find it suspicious how members of every

00:09:17.680 party always seem to be able to go on for 30 minutes. And to us, it always feels like either they're

00:09:24.000 artificially just sitting there wasting time or they are using AI extended speeches where they just

00:09:29.840 type in all the topics, all the points they want to hit and it generates them a 30 minute long

00:09:34.000 script to talk about because Dallas always keeps it pretty short. So there is something to be said

00:09:39.040 that so many members of parliament and members of legislative assemblies are on just autopilot mode.

00:09:45.200 They talk as long as they are supposed to talk for their communications. People give them a script

00:09:50.480 and that's how it works. At 1BC, I can guarantee we do not do that. In fact, we hate scripts and we try

00:09:56.240 and keep them as short as possible or we just use bullet points because Dallas knows how to talk on her own. 1.00

00:10:02.720 Anyways, so let's get into this next clip. Oh my goodness, it is a panel hosted by Rosemary

00:10:09.040 Barton, so you know it's not going to be great. But I believe this is Andrew Coyne talking here who,

00:10:13.920 again, is supposedly a conservative on the panel. Again, just attacking conservatives.

00:10:19.840 Well, it's not just the leader. It's the party and the leader are both under a lot of pressure.

00:10:25.120 And the pressure is Donald Trump. Every time Donald Trump erupts and says something nasty,

00:10:31.120 liberals go up in the polls, the conservatives go down. They know, at least some of them know,

00:10:36.000 they have to address that. They have to take a firmer stand. But they can't, they feel because

00:10:41.760 the significant section of their party is actually pretty okay with Donald Trump.

00:10:44.960 And why is it not okay to be all right with Donald Trump? You're not saying super fans all right.

00:10:55.040 They're not saying that they like the things he does in regards to Canada. They don't like the

00:10:58.640 tariffs. You know, the 50 for state thing was funny as a joke. And you should probably stop because

00:11:04.160 people who don't follow meme culture on social media can be bothered by the fact that he has

00:11:09.600 canned it on a map with the American flag over it. It's a joke. He shouldn't do that because a lot

00:11:16.720 of people don't get it. And they'll just freak out because they're primed to freak out. But can he

00:11:20.960 actually describe what about people who appreciate certain policies of Donald Trump? Why is that bad?

00:11:28.000 There are people do do sorry, liberals not appreciate the policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,

00:11:33.840 or Barack Obama or Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter? Or like whoever else? FDR? Oh, does that make them?

00:11:43.520 Does that make them Americans now? Or is it just they ideologically agree with certain things they do?

00:11:48.320 Have this ridiculous situation where Jamil Giovanni goes down to Washington, and effectively takes the side of

00:11:54.560 Donald Trump on a number of issues, portrays them as sympathetic and reasonable, portrays Canadians

00:12:00.240 as being engaged in a hissy fit, etc. I'm all in favor of MPs being able to speak their mind. It's

00:12:05.280 fine to criticize the government of the day. But when you go down and take the side of the government

00:12:09.760 that is attempting at the very least to destroy the trade agreement, possibly to annex the country,

00:12:14.080 you've crossed a few lines. What? He's trying to annex. And this is the thing. Guys, the CBC,

00:12:20.880 you would assume, if you are an outsider, that if it's going to be the state funded broadcast,

00:12:26.880 or it's going to be where there is serious commentary, maybe it's even kind of dry. Now,

00:12:31.600 it is dry. But you would think it would be the world of sober minded political analysis. We're

00:12:38.480 going to keep the hyperbole out of it. If that was their mandate. Fine. You know, we'll have actual

00:12:45.120 conservatives on actual liberals on and they'll debate the issues. And they're just told not to turn this into

00:12:50.560 you know, into just hyperbolic jousting between each other. But like this, the CBC is in fact,

00:12:58.880 the home of some of the most overheated rhetoric. Look at Jenny Byrne sitting here smiling while 1.00

00:13:05.360 this is all going on, too. She loves all of this, all the anti conservative attacks they're being able

00:13:10.400 to engage in this week over the day. But when you go down and take the side of the government that is

00:13:15.440 attempting at the very least to destroy the trade agreement, possibly to annex the country.

00:13:18.960 Jameel didn't do that. Citation, please. He said what Donald Trump had said. He's saying that Donald

00:13:26.000 Trump doesn't hate Canada. The Americans don't hate Canada. That's just true. Donald Trump probably

00:13:30.960 doesn't think about us that much. He thinks about us sometimes. But the idea that somehow Jameel

00:13:35.760 Javani was acting as a traitor to the country for not engaging in hyperbole, anti American hyperbole, 0.99

00:13:43.040 is foolish. He can not like certain things America America is doing, but he can also be smart enough 0.99

00:13:48.160 to keep a sober mind about how to deal with it. And that's what Andrew Coyne is trying to skewer him

00:13:53.440 for. You've crossed a few lines and it's very damaging to the party's brand. They know it, at least

00:13:59.840 again, the sensible ones do. But what actual consequences followed for Jameel Javani? Very little.

00:14:05.920 Slap on the wrist at most. What does he want? Him kicked out of caucus for going down to the United

00:14:10.480 States and trying to do Mark Carney's job for him? A job Mark Carney's not even attempting to do?

00:14:15.840 So you've got that. You've got these four crossings and nobody seems to think they're at an end.

00:14:20.960 You've got a very divided party. And Mr. Boyeva is, to some extent, the victim of that,

00:14:27.040 and to some extent, the architect of it.

00:14:28.640 They say a very divided party. Divided on what? Can we get a MP, even anonymously on the record,

00:14:36.800 who's still part of the party, saying that they are queasy with things being done? Is there anyone

00:14:41.520 doing that? No. Even the floor crossers couldn't actually name something they had a problem with, 1.00

00:14:47.760 because you can't actually find anything that Polyev has done where you could say,

00:14:51.760 oh, he's being too friendly to the Americans. He's not taking the trade situation seriously now.

00:14:56.800 The conservatives are taking it more seriously than Mark Carney, who won't deal with it, my goodness.

00:15:02.320 Anyway, but now let's move on to some other stuff. Here's just one I wanted to highlight because of

00:15:06.560 how childish it was. So Wayne Gretzky was on the CBC here, and he says, I'm a hockey player. I'm a

00:15:14.400 Canadian, a true Canadian. I want Canada to win a gold medal. I've never wavered from that. I've been

00:15:19.840 friends with prime ministers and presidents. Somehow there's been a little bit more tension than normal.

00:15:25.440 At the end of the day, Canada and the US are like brothers and sisters. They're going to fight and

00:15:29.120 argue, but eventually they'll come together. That's the way I see it. And Bruce Anderson here,

00:15:34.080 who is the head of a polling company, says, nope, not buying it. So even when a conservative figure,

00:15:43.200 someone who's like a conservative coded celebrity, like Wayne Gretzky, says that he's a proud Canadian,

00:15:50.560 of course, I'm fundamentally a Canadian. We're attacking him because he had gone to, 0.96

00:15:55.280 I believe, Donald Trump's inauguration because he's friends with people in the United States,

00:15:59.840 and I think he's friendly with Trump. That's not allowed, apparently. We have Andrew Coyne here

00:16:05.280 over this article from the National Post that reads, why are liberals attacking efforts to end Canada's

00:16:10.960 terror for full comment podcast? And it's featuring Jamil Javani. And Andrew Coyne says,

00:16:17.120 Javani has many prominent supporters on the right. Okay. Like, is this a bad thing that

00:16:25.440 he was on the National Post and they actually heard out what he was saying?

00:16:30.080 Another one, right? Oh, here's another thing I wanted to play right here. This is from Laura Babcock.

00:16:37.920 She's not as representative of the mainstream media in general, although her husband is a producer over

00:16:42.720 at the CBC. But this is the sort of unhinged rhetoric we're getting. We have Clinton DeVoe

00:16:47.920 on her show, again, talking about all, again, attacking conservatives and doing this whole maple

00:16:53.760 mega fascist type routine. Yeah. And it's populist, it's disingenuous, and it's what Trump did in the U.S.

00:17:03.200 She's going after Danielle Smith here, the Premier of Alberta, for wanting Alberta to be able to 1.00

00:17:08.720 control some of its own immigration, and wanting the government to crack down on people who are

00:17:14.000 illegally in Canada. This is what she's freaking out about for context.

00:17:17.920 ...scapegoated the immigrants in the U.S., and we have seen disastrous consequences from that. 0.99

00:17:24.320 73,000 people are right now in prison camps, which one of them, an Irish person who was dragged in there

00:17:31.680 because he had a funny accent, according to ICE, called torture. Torture. They're lucky if they

00:17:37.040 get sunlight during a 24-hour day. They're underfed. They're being tortured. So that is what happens

00:17:44.320 when you demonize immigration. When you talk about, like, what happens if the people of Alberta say,

00:17:50.000 oh yeah, no, we don't want any more of these immigrants. What's next? You're going to say, oh, 1.00

00:17:53.840 well, you know, we've got to go to a roundup of immigrants. I mean, I'm sorry to put it that way, 1.00

00:17:57.760 but there's nothing in Danielle Smith's policies and her adjacency to MAGA and all the time she 1.00

00:18:03.440 spends with those leaders who espouse these things. That doesn't lead me to be deeply concerned.

00:18:09.200 First, you take away their access to health care in the province. Then what happens? People start

00:18:14.080 to say, oh, well, I saw them at a job my kid could have had. We need to be rounding up these people and

00:18:18.480 getting them out of Alberta. I mean, this stuff is disastrous when you start to lose your common

00:18:24.800 humanity. Sorry, common humanity requires us to never enforce basic law. If we start to enforce

00:18:32.320 the basic immigration law that you should only be here for the time your visa allows you to be here,

00:18:38.400 then we're losing our basic humanity, apparently. And your values and you buy into this

00:18:43.520 bullshit line that these people who came to work to contribute are the ones who are causing you pain. 0.95

00:18:49.920 It is not true. I'm sorry, but it is true that disproportionately new immigrants in Canada 1.00

00:18:56.720 are the ones who are part of gangs in Toronto, in Surrey, who are involved in extortion rackets.

00:19:03.920 That's just true. So I'm sorry, it's just not a bunch of random white hockey guys going around

00:19:11.360 shooting up things. The guys who have been, the family's been here for a couple of generations.

00:19:15.520 Now, that doesn't mean that all immigrants are criminals. Obviously not. But the thing is,

00:19:21.280 those who are overstaying student visas or getting into the country on false pretenses are, in fact,

00:19:27.840 contributing heavily to the rise in crime. And we should have those people deported. But apparently,

00:19:32.800 even noticing basic facts is now racist, fascist, maple mega to Laura Babcock. 0.94

00:19:40.240 And she might not have used that language as distinctly as Trump did. But believe me,

00:19:45.840 this is not just Danielle Smith up there on her bully pulpit full of grievance. She is getting a 0.98

00:19:52.400 hell of a lot of help from the people in the United States in MAGA. There is literally a sign up in

00:19:58.080 Arizona for the independence referendum in Alberta. There's an event happening in Juma, Arizona.

00:20:04.480 That's not that's not mega helping Daniel's. Okay, Daniel Smith is not even a separatist.

00:20:10.240 She's not. She's explicitly not a separatist. There is a sign up in Yuma, because there's a lot

00:20:16.320 of people in Alberta who snow who are snowbirds who live in Arizona during the winter. That's what's

00:20:22.800 going on there. It's not a conspiracy theory. A bunch of people in Yuma basically said, hey, if you're an

00:20:28.560 Albertan who's here traveling, you can come to our house or whatever and sign the petition. That's all

00:20:36.000 that was. And now she's already this is the mind of Laura Babcock. It doesn't if something she does

00:20:42.640 not like something, it is inherently attached to something else she does not like. She does not

00:20:47.440 like Trump. And she so she hates his immigration policy. If Daniel Smith starts taking immigration

00:20:53.520 issues seriously, that means she's like Donald Trump. And you know that she is working with

00:21:01.280 the Americans because she agrees with Donald Trump. And didn't you see there was a separatist sign up

00:21:06.160 that was happening in Arizona. And because it's something to do with Alberta in Arizona and Laura

00:21:11.840 Babcock doesn't like it. And because she doesn't like Daniel Smith, that means these two things are

00:21:16.560 connected. She genuinely could not pass a basic cognitive test. She does not have the logic to 0.96

00:21:25.280 pass a basic cognitive test for this. So if you don't think that the same people who are behind

00:21:31.120 the horrendous policies of MAGA in the US are not helping with what's going on with some of these

00:21:37.760 themes and some of these sovereignty independence actions in Alberta, then you're missing the plot.

00:21:43.840 And we have Canadian media that is owned by US MAGA hedge fund in your it's because she's she's going

00:21:52.480 on this whole thing because National Post is partially American owned. Okay, I'm sorry,

00:21:57.520 are there American commentators, the people who work for the National Post have always worked for the

00:22:02.240 National Post, or they've been familiar faces in Canadian media. What's she on about? Like again,

00:22:07.760 she's saying, you're you're not following the plot. Well, plots require fact patterns to make sense.

00:22:15.520 What's the fact pattern that would back up the idea that Danielle Smith is in league with MAGA? Again,

00:22:22.000 these people find breadcrumbs, and they just use them to basically create an entire conspiracy about how

00:22:27.280 the world's against their liberal version of Canada. Everyone's up to something. I guarantee you,

00:22:33.200 she probably thinks that I'm an American asset because I'm criticizing her points about Maple

00:22:38.400 MAGA. Because I'm criticizing her, I must have been put up to this to stop her from spreading the truth,

00:22:44.560 the truth that she can't actually explain because she doesn't know what she's talking about,

00:22:48.240 and she doesn't actually have any evidence to show. If she ever got evidence in her claws, 0.99

00:22:54.800 she would show it. She doesn't have any, so she just rants. But whatever. Anyways, that should be it

00:23:01.840 for this video, guys. No doubt I'm going to be covering more media propaganda in the coming days

00:23:07.360 here. There's a few videos that I actually need to get out in the next couple days because we got hit

00:23:11.680 really hard with news over the past 24, 48 hours, especially in British Columbia. There's this insane

00:23:17.760 case of a former Chilliwack school board trustee, Barry Neufeld, being fined $750,000 by the BC Human

00:23:26.320 Rights Tribunal for effectively not believing in gender theory. He doesn't believe in more than two

00:23:32.880 sexes. Ergo, he is now, you know, an evil bigot or whatever that needs to be fined. It doesn't even make 0.91

00:23:41.920 sense to explain it. Anyways, with that all being said, thank you guys for watching. Like, share,
