The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - The War Against Poilievre & Carney screwing up with Trump

00:00:01.000 Ahoy everyone, Wyatt Claypool here and we're doing a live because I did promise I would do these more often and we actually have had a lot of big news stories as well as internal conservative news stories popping up recently as you may have seen from one of the last videos I made.

00:00:19.020 There is like this really obnoxious effort going on right now to try and remove your poly of as the leader of the conservative party by allies of like Doug Ford and Jason Kenney and Mark Malaruni.

00:00:33.500 Hey, Jamie, thank you for the W in the chat right away.

00:00:37.580 But in this, I'm just going to go through a lot of all that stuff that we see going on right now, including Nick Kuvalis, the pollster ally of Mr. Corey tonight, having a meltdown, not just I was going to say the other day, but my goodness, he's been having a meltdown like every single day, including today.

00:00:55.340 So we have to talk about his excuse making for why everyone, for why like their team is currently going after Pierre Polyev and trying to remove him as the conservative party leader.

00:01:08.960 I already found the post where he's claiming that, you know, Corey Tanik and him, they didn't start this fight against Pierre Polyev.

00:01:17.000 It was in fact, it's Polyev's fault if you think about it.

00:01:21.360 We're going to go through this in just a second here, but I'll let more people get in.

00:01:24.860 And we'll just start with this post by this Warren James person that Nick Kuvalis started going after.

00:01:31.100 But Nick, if you don't know, he runs the polling firm Campaign Research.

00:01:36.700 They're not very good at their jobs.

00:01:38.740 It's kind of a propaganda pollster.

00:01:40.700 And when I say that, I'm not saying it like I don't like their numbers, so it's a propaganda pollster.

00:01:45.100 I mean, he was the pollster for the main opponent to Patrick Brown in the last Brampton mayoral election like four years ago.

00:01:54.020 and he showed her like neck and neck with with patrick brown it was going to be like you know

00:01:59.880 42 42 in the race and he got like 50 and and nick cuvallis's client that he was pulling for

00:02:07.960 got what was it like 28 it was absolutely pathetic yes it is it is real i am actually doing a live

00:02:17.520 stream there okay aromatic i hate how they don't they show people's at names now and not their

00:02:24.360 display names because it's always so much easier uh yeah i also i also forgot to mention caroline

00:02:30.440 elliott was also one of the people going after um pure poly of recently it's all just so fake

00:02:37.560 and lame all these people coming out of the woodwork being like oh my goodness pure poly

00:02:41.880 i was like dividing the conservative movement because he took a shot at cory tonight it's like

00:02:46.020 good nobody likes cory tonight apparently apparently a sleazy lobbyist and consultant

00:02:52.740 is who everyone needs to stand up for the honor of in the conservative party like cory tonight

00:02:59.220 had been firing shots at pure poly of for over a year since before the last election

00:03:06.160 and i guess poly of is just supposed to take it if he fires back at cory all these people

00:03:11.720 immediately go into the mode of oh my hey hey we're just trying to we're just trying to ruin

00:03:15.420 your political career here. Hey, what's the big deal, man? Hey, I'm just trying to replace you

00:03:20.120 with Doug Ford. You don't have to call me a liberal lobbyist from out east, despite that

00:03:24.680 being a very good description of who I am. But whatever. And yes, and as Bob Scaffield here

00:03:33.280 says, Brian Lilly needs to be called out. Now, I think Brian Lilly's commentary can be pretty good

00:03:38.520 at times, a bit generic. I do see a lot of people sometimes overpraise people like Brian Lilly for

00:03:44.180 having microwaved takes on an issue like a week after everyone else was already saying that very

00:03:49.860 thing that he wrote. But Brian Lilly is a Doug Ford shill. He literally lives with the director

00:04:00.020 of media relations for Doug Ford. He was caught doing that because he wasn't even actually

00:04:06.060 disclosing that that was a relationship he had while he was just pretending he had an objective

00:04:12.180 view when talking about the Doug Ford PC party. And that's why he was basically whitewashing a

00:04:18.260 lot of Doug Ford's performance during COVID for him. Not again, not disclosing that. Well,

00:04:23.960 maybe you only have that opinion because you are directly dating and living with

00:04:28.600 his director of media relations. Rinder Sidhu for $2 here says Caroline Mulroney, not Elliot.

00:04:36.740 Oh, well, I don't think anyone, Caroline Mulroney is not going to be running in the next election or next leadership, no matter when it happens.

00:04:46.400 The Mulroney who is most likely to run is Mark Mulroney, because apparently the Conservative Party of Canada needs its own banker named Mark, and then will win, guys. 0.98

00:04:59.080 These people are completely ridiculous.

00:05:00.720 John Iveson at the National Post wrote this really cloying article about Mark Mulroney at the Canada Strong and Free Network event in Ottawa, pretending there was like buzz in the room. 0.95

00:05:13.940 At the same time, and I like him, but, you know, I'm wondering who got him to make this video.

00:05:19.020 Adam Zeevo made a video about how CFSN Ottawa was so dead, there was no energy in the room, and maybe Polyev's career is coming to an end or whatever.

00:05:29.140 So you have to pick a lane. Is there buzz in the room for somebody or is the event pretty much dead?

00:05:37.580 John Iveson is kind of a bit of a gadfly of conservative world.

00:05:42.460 Whatever a strategy firm wants to kind of astroturf into the public's view, he will be the one to post it.

00:05:49.680 So check out this article that he wrote back on May 8th of this year.

00:05:54.520 John Iveson the buzz in conservative circles this week isn't about Pierre Polyev the quintessent

00:06:01.080 of the the quiescence of Tory MPs could be for a lack of alternatives now one such possibility

00:06:07.880 is making the rounds at conservative at a conservative conference and again it's funny

00:06:13.140 because people were saying that it was a completely dead event and not many people were there which

00:06:17.340 is pretty typical for Candace Strong and Freenauer but he starts talking about how like I need to

00:06:22.860 find them when he starts talking about Mark Mulroney here. There we go. And then partway

00:06:29.200 through the article, we just start talking about how apparently everyone's running around the room

00:06:33.960 being like, have you heard of Mark Mulroney? And it says here, however, there is another name

00:06:39.140 running up and down the corridors of the Ottawa Weston Hotel, which is hosting the Canada Strong

00:06:43.900 and Free Conference. Mark Mulroney, the second son of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney,

00:06:49.100 who Mulroney was interested in running for the top job in 2019 after Andrew Scheer resigned,

00:06:55.480 but ultimately told me, it is not my time.

00:06:58.780 Seven years later, it is possible he could have a change of heart.

00:07:02.300 The debonair CIBC Investment Bank remains a close confidant of Polyev,

00:07:07.020 and Mulroney's wife, Vanessa, has advised the conservative leader, Anita.

00:07:12.480 I don't even know what this is.

00:07:13.980 It feels like John Iveson wrote this article while sitting in the lap.

00:07:19.100 of of of mark mulrooney there or whatever um sorry i'm just trying to jump through chat a little bit

00:07:29.440 here uh bit baldy here says if they manage to oust poly of the movement dies young people are

00:07:40.140 going to rally behind some establishment guy out of nowhere like they rallied for poly or they're

00:07:45.060 not going to do that um i think you could there's still it's not like here's the thing it's not like

00:07:51.060 a poly of left the party would die my problem with poly of leaving is what's the point if you

00:07:59.220 get a new leader what are they going to be so much better at than poly of are they going to bring out

00:08:05.340 more voters are they going to have a wider appeal probably not people keep talking about poly of

00:08:10.880 like oh he's divisive that's why you had to get rid of him look at his polling a lot of people

00:08:14.640 don't like them. And it's like, that's like conservative polling from basically forever.

00:08:21.500 That is always what conservative federal leader approval polling has looked like.

00:08:26.540 You have your leader around kind of the mid 30s to maybe low 40s. And that's kind of it. Unless he

00:08:33.180 like committed a crime, he's not going to fall any further than he did. And unless he saves a child

00:08:37.920 from a burning building, he's never going to jump above 42%. It's just the kind of range that every

00:08:44.140 single conservative sits in, unless you really suck at your job and you're like Doug Ford and

00:08:48.700 you're at 21% because you're not even conservative, my goodness. But if you replace 0.77

00:08:53.820 Pierre Polyev with another leader right now, what's that person actually going to do inside

00:08:58.980 the party to fix the real problems? The problems in the party have not that much to do with Pierre

00:09:05.020 Polyev, although you could say he should be dealing with those issues. The problems in the

00:09:09.240 party are the risk aversion of the people who run their campaigns it is the nervous energy that they

00:09:17.040 have around their nominations not wanting to kind of let the grassroots pick the candidates thinking

00:09:22.100 oh well if they don't pick this guy or that guy you know they could end up um they like we could

00:09:28.240 end up like losing unless we pick some milk toast oatmeal of a candidate you need better you need

00:09:34.700 better candidates overall for the conservatives. And then 2025 in a lot of areas like Surrey,

00:09:41.180 Brampton, Mississauga, elsewhere in the GTA, they had just dud candidates. And so when you

00:09:48.240 are losing a lot of elections, a lot of these like local riding, riding level elections by like

00:09:54.760 a few hundred votes, a thousand votes, and you ran some random guy that you only appointed at

00:10:00.560 the very end. That's the problem. And by the way, Jason Kenney, Doug Ford, Mark Mulroney,

00:10:08.000 another guy I've heard is a name that wants to potentially run in Polio's place is Senator

00:10:12.660 Leo Housakis. Are these people going to solve those problems? No, they're going to get into

00:10:17.880 office and declare, hey, the problems are solved. How do I know? Because I'm currently the leader

00:10:23.660 of the party. That's how you know all the problems are solved. Now let me and my team do whatever we

00:10:28.360 want and don't question any of it uh shout out to rick uh rick rob but till a i'm like 8809 i can't

00:10:38.740 sometimes say these things especially when youtube mashes it all together in one at symbol

00:10:42.720 it's annoying uh but yeah thanks for being a subscriber for six months there rick

00:10:47.660 sebastian marion says honestly why if they silence anyone with an with independent thought

00:11:01.180 there is just this problem in kind of all conservative parties where again people get

00:11:06.160 really really nervous about just letting your candidates and even sometimes your mps just say

00:11:12.060 stuff by the way if you let your mps just do whatever they want yeah you'll have some moments

00:11:16.800 where some MP said something dumb or took the wrong position on a issue. I would rather deal

00:11:22.020 with that in its own time than have MPs sitting around saying nothing. So what you end up doing

00:11:28.280 is like when you're effectively all your MPs are salesmen for the conservative brand and ethos.

00:11:34.340 And when nobody's saying anything, yeah, you're not making any mistakes. But guess what we're

00:11:37.920 doing? We're also not selling a lot of conservatism while all these people are shutting up.

00:11:41.860 the Sasquatch Chronicle says what's up Wyatt hello from the USA hope you are well brother I am

00:11:48.180 I was actually just got back from Montana not that long ago that's whenever you guys see like

00:11:52.380 that western uh painting in the background of videos with like the horses that's me in the

00:11:57.320 United States uh down in Montana uh and so that's you know that's what I got uh you know I still go

00:12:04.880 to the U.S. I still go to the U.S. I don't know why everyone is suddenly not allowed to according

00:12:09.940 to the liberals like it's a betrayal of the country to like cheaper goods at target and in

00:12:14.920 in uh in montana uh but uh ryan herbert 6280 here has been a member for six months so thank you ryan

00:12:23.240 uh keep up the great work wyatt well thank you ryan for saying that and keep up the great work

00:12:27.920 on your end too no matter what you do uh but now maybe because we have 280 people here i want to

00:12:33.620 get into the really dumb interaction that Corey Tanike's polling ally and other sort of like

00:12:41.320 strategy, I don't even know what he does, just terrible campaign consultant, Nick Kuvalis said,

00:12:48.260 Nick Kuvalis got in this really dumb fight because as he was trying to attack Pierpoliev

00:12:53.460 and people started questioning him and saying, why is it that you guys are digging at him so much 0.79

00:12:59.200 when he hasn't done anything to you, he tried to justify himself up against this guy named

00:13:04.520 Warren James here. So Warren James here says, in response to Nick Kuvalis saying to this person,

00:13:13.220 Jen Garrison, I suspect conservatives are undercounting the possibility that no one can

00:13:19.160 replace a peer because nobody wants to. Nick Kuvalis says the caucus could force him out of

00:13:25.020 the leadership. The result of that would be a leadership race. Polyev would easily win that

00:13:30.400 leadership race back to the future. And he's just making the joke about how technically if they

00:13:35.440 ousted Polyev, he could still run for leader and win again. But know this, that Nick Kouvalis is a

00:13:40.180 massive Polyev hater. Warren James says, enough is enough. The Pierre and Ford camps need to reach

00:13:46.720 out to each other, focus on the liberals and how their policies have been destroying our once great

00:13:51.100 nation, unite. Even though I'm more of a Polyev supporter than Ford, as the Fed leader here should

00:13:57.220 take the high road, the leadership reach out to Ford. It's what I would do in his position. I get

00:14:02.340 that Corey started it, at least in the eyes of the public. Oh, well, move on. Focus on what would be

00:14:07.320 best for us Canadians. Now, I disagree with Warren James here that Polyev and the Ford camps should 1.00

00:14:13.620 even be working together. They just shouldn't. Ford just is not conservative. It's not that you 0.88

00:14:19.620 attack each other you just ignore each other and plus Ford is a massive uh a massive uh Mark Carney

00:14:26.080 ally so you he doesn't want to work with you in fact he wants them to fail so then he can escape

00:14:31.840 from Ontario where he's extremely unpopular go federal and try and use a lot of frankly

00:14:38.860 ethnic community connections in order to sell memberships to become the leader

00:14:42.120 uh I'm gonna call him I'm gonna call this guy with the Oilers thing Rick Bob because that's

00:14:48.020 what is easier for me to pronounce rick bob says for two dollars canada is under it is under great

00:14:54.180 hands well i'm not sure about that maybe you're talking about uh specifically conservatives in

00:15:00.580 in um in canada but not the current leadership of the country i'll assume that that's what you meant

00:15:06.020 but but going back to this thing that warren james is saying so yes i i disagree that it was even

00:15:13.220 that Polyev should have even taken what we call the high road. At some point, you do need to

00:15:19.180 correct people. When they keep going at you, you're allowed to fire a shot back at them. It's

00:15:23.700 a warning shot so that they stop constantly jabbing at you. And so I want to now jump over

00:15:29.700 to the post that we had Nick Kuvalis make in response to this Warren James guy, who in a lot

00:15:37.280 of ways wasn't even going after him in any way. He just said that, well, this was a fight that

00:15:41.520 Corrie tonight started, which is true. And then Nick Kuvalis goes on this massive rant saying,

00:15:48.660 Corrie didn't start it. People forget that during the provincial election, Ontario, February 2025,

00:15:54.480 Pierre Pauly have held multiple federal events during the Ontario PCs campaign.

00:15:58.560 Many conservative volunteers had to pick between helping forward PCs with GOTV

00:16:02.420 and the federal CPC event. Pierre Pauly have held rallies at the same time as the advanced polls

00:16:08.060 on the exact same days.

00:16:10.080 The Ontario PCs could have used hundreds of volunteers

00:16:13.160 to help turn out the vote at the advance polls,

00:16:15.360 and Pierre knowingly was doing rallies to F up Ford.

00:16:19.320 Pierre and his team did that and also talked Fs

00:16:22.220 to other Ford PC supporters nonstop and to the media, etc.

00:16:26.720 Mayors in multiple cities were strongly encouraged

00:16:28.980 to not attend events supporting Ford and the PCs

00:16:30.860 during the Ontario election campaign in February.

00:16:33.680 Corey didn't start anything,

00:16:35.920 and there has been tons of outreach by Corey

00:16:37.960 himself and others since May 2025

00:16:40.240 to sort this out and find better

00:16:42.200 ways forward. They didn't care.

00:16:44.680 Pierre is a child. He's an immature 0.95

00:16:46.200 baby. He's not a leader. He's 0.98

00:16:48.160 a B-wordy, baby, selfish 1.00

00:16:50.400 and tall throwing tantrums. 0.99

00:16:52.320 Nick Kuvalis here writing this post

00:16:54.300 is not throwing a tantrum. The person

00:16:56.120 throwing a tantrum apparently is

00:16:57.940 Mr. Pirapaliev. I'll

00:17:00.200 just finish up here and then I want to talk a bit about

00:17:02.120 this. So tonight

00:17:03.940 goes on, not tonight, Kuvalis

00:17:06.120 goes on to say last year after his loss Pierre went on to blame his campaign team and staff

00:17:11.560 more proof that he's an immature selfish cry baby in fact it is the campaign team as to why he lost

00:17:18.680 and I didn't even exactly see Polly of blaming anyone publicly for the loss like I didn't see 0.97

00:17:25.160 that at all but in fact it was still the campaign team the campaign team ran and encouraged him to

00:17:32.360 run an extremely wishy-washy type campaign that focused a lot on old slogans and not a lot of

00:17:39.400 like really hard-hitting policy ideas uh and but we're anyways we're gonna get to the rest of this

00:17:45.320 yeah coval says i'm not kissing his ring i'm going to do whatever i can to see him out as leader i

00:17:51.160 pray to god he becomes a consultant lobbyist and then i'm going to work on taking his clients away 0.95

00:17:56.040 from him one at a time for as long as i live oh as for as long as i'm alive this is so pathetic

00:18:01.880 So Nick Kuvalis is trying to imagine a future where Polyev is no longer a politician and he's having to be a consultant so that Nick can be there pulling strings to take his clients away. 0.96

00:18:14.060 Nick Kuvalis, even though he calls other people babies, is himself a baby. 0.97

00:18:19.700 The man is a complete whiner.

00:18:21.300 And it was pointed out by people like Northern Perspective in the comments of this and other people like Rick Perkins, who was fairly the former federal conservative MP candidate or federal conservative MP.

00:18:35.600 I believe he wants to be a candidate again. And I thought that they both had really good responses to this.

00:18:41.180 Rick Perkins says, give me a break. So childish, you guys. Grow up. Shame on us for campaigning

00:18:47.180 in the campaign year, in the fourth year of a mandate, when you called an election a year

00:18:51.980 early. Seriously, F off. Northern Perspective says, who called the snap election a year early

00:18:58.580 when all of these events were already booked? Nice try. In fact, it was actually over a year

00:19:03.800 early. And yeah, it's not Polly's fault. It was an easy election for the PCs anyways.

00:19:08.300 It really shouldn't be. They're an absolutely terrible government. But that is the origin story, according to the Corey to Nike squad, that is justifying Corey to Nike constantly taking shots at him.

00:19:21.960 By the way, I don't know anything about whether Polyev's people went to big city mayors and said to not be seen standing next to Doug Ford. That sounds fake to me, but it doesn't really matter if it's fake or real.

00:19:36.560 I've never, Paulie have never took a public shot at Doug Ford the entire time. Even Jamil

00:19:42.520 Javani, who hates Doug Ford, did not say anything about Doug Ford in that election. They let them

00:19:49.500 go. Many conservatives endorsed the local PC candidate. And yet we're still, we're supposed

00:19:55.340 to believe that whatever Paulie have did behind the scenes has been worth Corey to Nike going on 0.88

00:20:02.260 mainstream news pretty much every day of the federal election campaign to attack the poly

00:20:07.800 of conservatives, to imply they're being too easy on Donald Trump, to basically continually talk

00:20:13.680 about how it's a dying campaign and whatnot. And remember, the last federal election was

00:20:19.220 extremely close. Even though the liberals won by like two and a half points in the popular vote,

00:20:24.980 there were an incredible amount of ridings that were within a few hundred votes.

00:20:29.960 The real margin between if the Conservatives became the minority government or the Liberals became the minority government was like 8,000 votes across like 40 ridings or 30 ridings.

00:20:42.300 It was very, very close in a lot of these areas.

00:20:48.060 RonnieBaby604 says, good Super Saturday today with Stephen Curran.

00:20:51.780 Hi.

00:20:52.440 Oh, well, fantastic.

00:20:53.280 Yeah, so everyone, if you actually live in the Vancouver area, make sure that you go out and help Stephen Curran.

00:21:00.520 He's running for the North Vancouver Capilano by-election.

00:21:04.380 I'll actually just drop the link in the chat here for Stephen Curran's link to the Conservative website is portal to it, I guess, if you guys want lawn signs if you live in the riding.

00:21:13.900 If you live in the riding, definitely get a lawn sign, definitely volunteer.

00:21:16.780 and if you live somewhat close by, drive into the riding, help place some lawn signs, help

00:21:22.440 door knock a little bit. By-elections are very weird. Even though it's a safe liberal riding,

00:21:28.420 it used to be held by the conservatives before Jonathan Wilkinson. And with really weird by-election

00:21:33.440 turnouts and the green left kind of rebelling against Carney right now, you could end up having

00:21:38.720 conservatives keeping their base together. They drive out enough people to beat the liberals

00:21:43.100 because the liberals get complacent it absolutely happens by election upsets happen quite often

00:21:49.900 um i'm sorry i'm trying to go down here i'll drop that link a couple more times just so people can

00:21:54.220 see it if you guys want to check it out mickey says wyatt claypool here well that's not you're

00:22:00.860 not wyatt claypool to my knowledge and uh candabud 23 says paul up here could be the whiniest bee in

00:22:09.180 the country he is still correct on most things that's all i care about and so yeah um i don't

00:22:16.220 even i don't think like obviously you're being facetious about that but like what i've never

00:22:21.100 understood the the narrative that comes from the media and people like cory tonight and other fred

00:22:27.420 delori does this a lot too on the cbc always saying oh it's loser talk the conservatives

00:22:32.460 shouldn't be talking about corrupt things the liberals are doing they shouldn't oppose the

00:22:36.940 really sketchy pipeline plan, that, you know, they shouldn't do that, because that sounds 0.90

00:22:43.380 loser, that's, that's loser talk, you should just be sitting there clapping for whatever the

00:22:48.260 carny liberals do, apparently, that's, that's winner talk, winner talk is basically just saying 0.97

00:22:54.540 the current guys in government are doing a good job, so don't vote for us, that's always the

00:22:59.040 implication, and I always ask, what is the point of swapping Polyev out with Jason Kenney, Doug

00:23:05.800 Ford, Mark Mulroney, or Leo Housakis. Who is going to switch from voting liberal to Doug Ford

00:23:14.000 or Jason Kenney federally? Who? There's no one that that describes. Who's going to vote for

00:23:20.240 another banker named Mark running the conservative party? If anything, that will be taken as a

00:23:26.020 massive joke. All of the conservatives couldn't beat Mark Carney, so they basically got their

00:23:31.000 own Mark Carney. What does he believe in? All the same things that the current Mark Carney

00:23:35.400 believes in with a little bit of tinkering around the outsides of policies. Oh, well, that's a

00:23:40.240 great, that's like a tacit endorsement of Mark Carney. When you run on effectively the same

00:23:46.100 platform as the current government, you are going to lose. Even the poly of conservatives in 2025

00:23:52.580 ran on a platform that was too similar to the liberals. Liberals offering a 1% tax cut under

00:23:59.300 $50,000? Well, the conservatives are here with a 2% tax cut under $50,000. Guys, you run on

00:24:06.940 something so big, this is advice, you always run on something so big, your opponent will never take

00:24:14.300 it from you. Do not run against the gas taxes. Because guess what? Mark Carney is not, you know,

00:24:20.020 he's not against lowering gas taxes. In fact, he had a great opportunity because the Iran war

00:24:24.760 heavily inflated gas prices. So the government, even with having, even if they got rid of all the 0.99

00:24:30.860 other gas taxes except the GST, they would still be bringing in pretty much as many, as high of

00:24:36.300 revenues from gas as they would have if the Iran war didn't happen just because the prices were so

00:24:41.780 elevated. But the poly of conservatives making that like a big thing, pushing them on the gas

00:24:46.080 prices was not great because although the Carney liberals were never going to, you know, get rid of

00:24:52.780 all the gas taxes that the poly of conservatives were asking for. The problem is that they'll at

00:24:59.100 least go halfway and completely diffuse the point that you're trying to make against the government.

00:25:04.320 Run on a 20% across the board tax cut, including corporate, including a point off the GST.

00:25:10.500 The Carney liberals will never run on that. And guess what? Not only does that interest people

00:25:17.140 because people think they pay too many taxes because they do, but also if the liberals oppose

00:25:21.960 your plan it's an amazing counterpunch you they say that's unrealistic we can't cut taxes that much

00:25:28.360 and so effectively what they're saying and this is what you would say if you're a conservative

00:25:31.720 it's like oh so you don't think canadians deserve tax relief oh if you want tax relief apparently

00:25:36.760 go down to the united states where the taxes are lower if you want to stay you know basically if

00:25:41.560 you want to go bankrupt stay in this country like you have to run the patriotism you have to flip

00:25:46.520 the patriotism book on the liberals. And I think that is very easy. But all these people that

00:25:52.740 people like Corey Tanaik and Nick Kuvalis and Ben Woodfindon and Anthony Koch and all these

00:25:58.300 individuals, probably Jeff Bollingall too, somewhere in there, all these people think that

00:26:03.500 Poliev just can't win or he's doing everything wrong. And if you just let them take control of

00:26:08.540 things, everything will get better. But all these guys don't really, they don't, they're not that

00:26:12.900 conservative they don't run conservative campaigns they just ran caroline elliott's campaign into the

00:26:18.100 floor they're not good at this i'm sorry and like there's no i don't even know how to like describe

00:26:25.980 what these people believe because they truly just don't believe in anything but if you want to win

00:26:31.760 an election you need to be different than all the all the other parties you need to be very different

00:26:37.260 but the people that these guys want to run as leader leo hussakis may be being the most

00:26:42.200 conservative would still pretty much be a leftward shift from Pierre Polyev. I think Polyev should

00:26:48.440 be taking a rightward shift right now, but they'd be a leftward shift to which what is the point of

00:26:53.620 showing up and voting for you if you're offering effectively the same product as the current

00:26:58.340 government? People show up to vote for the current product by voting for the incumbent. They don't

00:27:04.360 vote for the current product by voting for somebody who's going to change the color of the current

00:27:08.760 product. Uh, sorry, I'm just trying to find some good comments here. Uh, dub says you can't promise

00:27:29.380 things to such a widespread population. The only thing everyone could agree on is money. Uh, are

00:27:35.020 you saying that you can't offer like a 20% tax cut or something like that? In a lot of ways,

00:27:39.920 I think that that's like that. The thing, the reason I always bring that up is I think it's

00:27:43.320 like one of the safest, really big, bold policies you can run on in the sense that your opponents

00:27:48.900 are never going to do it. It's pretty audacious to cut taxes that much. And anyone who would

00:27:54.200 attack the plan and they're like, well, you're going to run a deficit for a year or two. It's

00:27:57.620 like, well, of course I am. I was left with a deficit and first I'm going to fix the economy.

00:28:05.020 uh brent uh brent howard says 12 flat tax no tax on on on ot or tips and i don't think you

00:28:16.040 could probably run on a flat tax right now in alberta you could run on a flat tax i think the

00:28:20.520 danielle smith ucb should absolutely be trying to run on a 10 flat tax tax bring us back to that

00:28:27.240 although i do believe the first um i do believe the first bracket in alberta for income taxes is

00:28:35.140 eight percent so i would say okay that one can remain eight all the other ones will then flatten

00:28:40.180 out back to 10 so we'll bring our highest one from like 15 to 10 and some of the other ones

00:28:45.160 will go from like 12 to 10 or 13 to 10 and people are oh that's giving a lot of money back to rich

00:28:49.740 people it's like okay well rich people pay all the taxes so get over it um

00:28:57.240 Alex Morales here says, Nick Nanos has to do what the Liberals say.

00:29:04.220 If Nick talked about the Conservative Party,

00:29:06.760 Liberals would do everything they could to destroy him.

00:29:09.540 I assume that you're talking about in terms of a lot of the guys in the media

00:29:12.680 who end up kind of being shills for the Liberals.

00:29:21.160 Kebab says, I saw something on X that said Carney cut healthcare by 15%.

00:29:25.180 Did I miss that?

00:29:26.180 how would anyone not be talking about that? I don't think that's true. He's been cutting some

00:29:31.960 public servants, but even then, he's not even really being that conservative about it.

00:29:38.820 They're basically just offering mostly early retirement to people to try and cut down on

00:29:44.400 payroll costs, but they're not really dealing with the really big wastes of money, which

00:29:50.480 is frankly in welfare and social spending the great hey guys by the way great reason to massively

00:29:57.020 cut taxes is that if you cut taxes down massively there's going to be less people on welfare because

00:30:04.180 businesses can expand and hire more people people actually work more and also people are motivated

00:30:10.580 to get a job because well it doesn't feel like if you do get a job you're immediately paying

00:30:15.300 through your nose to the government again. So why not just sit on social security and EI?

00:30:20.880 You will be able to cut down massively on welfare spending if it pays more to work than be on

00:30:26.640 welfare in many people's minds. Obviously, welfare doesn't pay as well as a really good office job.

00:30:33.060 But I'm saying in the psychology of some people, how many people stay on EI longer? Because

00:30:37.940 it's just kind of thankless working in Canada. So I'm going to sit on for the full six months

00:30:43.480 that I'm allowed to. And then I'll go find a job. If the jobs were plentiful, and the taxes were

00:30:49.920 much lower, I don't think there would even be a beat skipped between someone losing one job and

00:30:54.420 going to get another one. And by the way, probably nobody would be getting not very many people would

00:30:58.820 be laying being getting laid off outside of for incompetence. If companies were able to save a lot

00:31:03.460 of money, 20% corporate tax cut and a 1% GST cut would automatically bring down grocery costs.

00:31:09.960 And I would even, I would even, if I was like prime minister or even premier and I was cutting corporate taxes. Now in Alberta, it's not, there's no PST, but if I cut down corporate taxes in Alberta as the premier, I'd want all the major grocery store chains to send a representative so I could tell them you're going to lower prices tomorrow because I don't want this whole media thing going on where I cut taxes and you guys take three or four months to evaluate your new price points.

00:31:38.360 do it right away because the media is going to pretend like, oh my goodness, look, you guys are

00:31:42.360 being greedy by not lowering your prices, even though taxes were lowered. You have to do it ASAP

00:31:47.440 because that is how you win public approval. You do something and people immediately see a change

00:31:53.480 because sometimes when the change comes in too slowly, people just don't notice. They just think

00:31:58.000 that this is some general trend that's going on. They don't notice the price fell very much over

00:32:03.600 the next year or whatever. You want the price drop on eggs to be immediate. You want it to be like

00:32:09.700 10% less the next day. That's what I think that people like Premier Smith should frankly be doing

00:32:15.720 for re-election. Cut down taxes quite a bit preemptively and get the companies to immediately

00:32:22.920 bake that lower tax point into their prices. It will make everyone like you way more. Although

00:32:28.380 I think that Danielle Smith's going to cruise pretty easily to re-election. The amount of seats 1.00

00:32:32.540 she has is mostly just up for grabs at this point. Cam TJR says, do you find it annoying

00:32:39.640 too when the liberals think the 18,000 jobs in June is a win? Oh my goodness, yes. No,

00:32:46.400 the 18,000 jobs is pathetic. We got 18,000 jobs and they're mostly part-time. And by the way, 0.93

00:32:52.820 they're mostly seasonal. People keep saying, but Wyatt, they're seasonally adjusted jobs.

00:32:57.500 They're seasonally adjusted, Wyatt. Well, the May job numbers were seasonally adjusted, and yet the vast majority of areas where jobs were created was food, hospitality, and construction. That sounds like summer construction, summer restaurant jobs, and summer hotel jobs. I don't know what to tell you, guys. It's a seasonal job.

00:33:20.240 They seasonally adjust out the jobs that reoccur every single year in the exact same place.

00:33:26.240 They can't really, the government doesn't have the time of day to really seasonally adjust the job numbers out because it's too difficult to figure out if a new job is going to be permanent or not.

00:33:36.800 And yet, so basically, unless a dairy queen has been rehiring the same person every summer, they don't seasonally adjust that individual out.

00:33:45.360 but yeah so we have an economy where we're only adding 18 000 jobs in june at the same time we

00:33:53.220 lost a bunch of manufacturing jobs and we just created a bunch of hospitality jobs and apparently

00:33:58.200 we're supposed to give mark carney a big victory back massage over the whole thing he he invented

00:34:03.620 stampede guys he effectively invented the stampede he invented summer music festivals that's where a

00:34:10.300 lot of jobs are being created. And that's why these are not seasonal jobs is because these festivals,

00:34:15.840 stampede jobs, some of those might be seasonal, but a lot of stuff is not reoccurring. It's a

00:34:21.020 festival that might happen again every year. But the thing is that the people who are being hired

00:34:26.340 and the roles that they need are not always the exact same. So they just get included as if they

00:34:31.160 might be permanent in the future. The liberals and the media are never going to circle back to when

00:34:36.160 the job numbers start falling off a cliff in September and October and say, oh, well, too bad.

00:34:42.180 I guess those jobs weren't real. No, no, no. They will promote the good news and they will

00:34:46.540 just silence the bad news. And then they'll blame it on Trump's or Peer Polly of somehow.

00:34:54.160 Mickey says nothing stresses Wyatt out except having to seek the approval of his subordinates.

00:34:58.980 I don't know. I don't have subordinates. I don't know people who are subordinate to me.

00:35:02.960 uh yeah should i get into something here i'll do i'll do it maybe later in the video or whatever

00:35:09.400 stuff i'm i'm thinking about doing so karen law 43 for 1399 thank you karen for that why do you

00:35:18.040 think that carney actually has the support that is reported or is it all lies i was 10 minutes

00:35:23.580 late did you talk about the fact that carney's capitulated on the gordy howe bridge i haven't

00:35:28.340 talked about the gordy howe bridge thing yet but maybe this is a good intro into it

00:35:32.280 Um, do I think that Carney's approval ratings are generally accurate? I actually do think they're

00:35:39.880 generally accurate, maybe a little bit juiced up because some of these pollsters tend to have a

00:35:44.960 little bit more of a left leaning sample. The reason that Carney has a high approval rating

00:35:49.640 is because I think it's his personality. It's not that people love him. I don't think that

00:35:54.280 if you look at sometimes the underlying numbers on his approval, people will be like, yes, 55%

00:35:59.860 approval or whatever. But then you look under the hood and there's 20% of people who strongly

00:36:04.580 approve of him. And there's a lot of people who somewhat approve of him. I think that Carney is

00:36:09.360 the type of guy who is always going to have a lot of somewhat approval. And if he ever gets

00:36:13.780 unpopular, it's never going to be strong disapproval. It's going to be somewhat disapproval.

00:36:19.360 He's kind of a boring personality who's hard to dislike. Now, when I say hard to dislike,

00:36:23.640 I mean, like, I don't like the guy. I cover politics all day. So I kind of know what the

00:36:28.080 guys like. When you walk around watching hockey or the World Cup and you kind of pay attention

00:36:34.200 to politics a little bit in the background, watching the evening news or seeing some headlines

00:36:38.640 on Google, you don't really ever get the impression that this is like a monster or anything

00:36:44.160 like that. Or he's not enough of a clown like Justin Trudeau, where the average person who's 0.96

00:36:49.200 even trying to avoid the news is rolling their eyes every time they see him. Carney is just 0.98

00:36:53.480 not that kind of a person. Now, again, whenever you see approval ratings of Pierre Polyev,

00:36:59.360 and he's at like 35% or whatever, in terms of his approval rating, it looks very low.

00:37:04.640 That's the approval rating every conservative from the start of time has had. Every conservative

00:37:09.840 is always between mid 30s and the low 40s. They have never moved past that. If you actually watch

00:37:17.340 the polling, even when back in late fall and winter of 2024, when the Polyev Conservatives

00:37:27.740 were averaging a lead on the Liberals of like 17%, Polyev had a 40%, 42% approval rating.

00:37:36.640 After that happened and we were going into the federal election, Polyev had around a 39%

00:37:42.460 approval rating. It hasn't budged an inch. Liberal Canadians are encouraged to think that

00:37:48.120 Conservatives are mean and terrible, and so they always say they disapprove of them in some way in

00:37:52.980 the polls, whereas Conservatives are just encouraged by their own party to think that 0.99

00:37:57.280 Carney and his people are kind of incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. Now, I think

00:38:02.160 they're fairly contemptible individuals, but the average Conservative person just thinks that,

00:38:07.940 you know, Carney's not, you know, Carney's overselling a lot of things. You get some things

00:38:12.360 done well and other things are not done well. Or, you know, even if they think he's not doing a lot

00:38:18.120 well, he's not a bad guy. And so they'll say disapprove, somewhat disapprove at most. And

00:38:23.460 sometimes they'll even say, well, I somewhat approve of him because he seems well-meaning.

00:38:27.500 That is what kind of ends up happening. Although I actually think this Gordie Halbridge thing

00:38:32.600 could hurt him fairly badly now i've only i've kind of been stymied a little bit whenever i

00:38:38.260 predict that a certain thing might hurt uh mark carney's approval rating something else happens

00:38:43.700 that's completely disconnected so i don't we don't really get like a clear week week or two

00:38:48.160 of that being the big issue and seeing how it affects carney so i think there was something

00:38:52.360 else i was tracking before that i was assuming was going to start hurting carney and then the

00:38:57.420 pipeline announcement happened i'm like okay it's going to be like a week or two or a couple months

00:39:01.660 of people thinking like, oh, wow, he's Mr. Pipeline. Oh, wow, he must really like pipelines.

00:39:06.020 He just announced a pipeline that has no feasible way of actually happening. That's fantastic.

00:39:12.440 Now, is the pipeline going to happen? It could happen in like 15 years, at which point whoever's

00:39:18.540 finishing the pipeline has nothing to do with Mark Carney. It's like, okay, well, we have this

00:39:24.120 postcard from 15 years ago of Mark Carney saying we should maybe build a pipeline. And people are

00:39:28.860 going to credit it to him and be like, oh, wow, look at Mark Carney getting a pipeline built.

00:39:32.300 And he'll be at the ribbon cutting or whatever. And they'll be like, you know, this all really

00:39:35.680 happened because you very limply told Daniel Smith, maybe we can have one. And apparently

00:39:42.220 that is enough to get credit in Canadian politics. But with the current situation we're in, if

00:39:47.740 nothing big happens to make Mark Carney look good in the next couple of weeks, whether it's real or

00:39:53.760 fake. I do think the Gordie Howe bridge thing will affect him. It is just such an obvious loss.

00:40:00.620 It is just so obviously a bad look for the liberals that they just gave over 50-50 revenues on a

00:40:06.700 bridge that, one, Carney was not involved in building. You know, thanks Carney, you showed up

00:40:12.080 at the last second to immediately give away our revenues. And Canada did, in fact, pay for the

00:40:16.700 entire bridge. Now, I actually kind of like Donald Trump in a lot of ways. I like his policies. I

00:40:21.200 don't like his tariffs. I don't like certain other things he does. But overall, I can understand his

00:40:25.780 attitude on politics and whatnot. I can like him at certain stages, dislike him at certain stages.

00:40:31.180 I call balls and strikes on him. He is absolutely wrong on the Gordie Howe Bridge. Now, maybe there's

00:40:36.180 an argument that the Americans are making that we pay for all your protection and whatnot. So we

00:40:41.180 should have the revenues of the bridge. And we're maybe going to have a disproportionate duty to

00:40:46.700 provide security and anti-terrorism stuff for the bridge? Maybe. They never vocalized that,

00:40:52.400 so I have no clue what their argument is. Really, I think it's just because Trump wanted to dunk on

00:40:56.960 Mark Carney, and he did, and Mark Carney gave him everything he wanted pretty much in exchange for

00:41:03.120 absolutely nothing. Why not, if you're Mark Carney, fly down to Washington and then use,

00:41:09.580 if you're going to concede on the Gordie Howe Bridge, at least use it as a bargaining chip to

00:41:14.300 get a trade deal. I've heard actually that apparently they're slightly softening some

00:41:19.640 supply management rules in Canada right now, where they're giving a little bit more of the

00:41:23.980 dairy quota over to Alberta, or they're just giving those current dairy farmers a little bit

00:41:29.420 more. Although you're, you're still kind of cut out of the system if you're not already a dairy

00:41:32.980 farmer. But if we're already somewhat softening the system a little bit, why don't we just use

00:41:40.520 that as a bargaining chip to get a trade deal. I have no clue. But anyways, sorry, I had to catch

00:41:46.900 up on all this stuff, people. Mickey says, what kind of bear is best? I hear that there are two

00:42:03.500 schools of thought. I reject both schools of thought. I like the sun bear. I think the sun

00:42:08.500 Bear was very cool. Hello from Sudbury. Well, thank you for checking in from Sudbury. Yes,

00:42:17.380 Nelson Cade, absolutely right. This is my big complaint about Blaine Higgs, despite the fact

00:42:21.960 I would have called him at the time still the best premier in the country. Blaine Higgs,

00:42:26.460 the former PC premier of New Brunswick, he ran three surpluses in New Brunswick,

00:42:32.540 which sounds impossible. You somehow got Maritimers to balance a budget. That is some

00:42:37.420 sort of magic I do not have access to. At the same time, you don't run on cutting PST by two

00:42:44.220 points. You cut the PST by two points like a year and a half before, and then you let people live

00:42:50.480 with that change, and you run on the fact that you cut PST by two points, and maybe say, I'm going to

00:42:55.460 do a third, and you just, you keep pushing. But I don't like when politicians get comfortable day

00:43:01.080 to day. Things are going pretty well, and we kind of turtle up. Harper was doing a pretty good job

00:43:07.000 in his majority term. But in 2015, he kind of just ran on the fact that, well, I've done a pretty

00:43:12.420 good job. The problem is he never did anything so spectacular. People really want to see what

00:43:17.280 he's going to do next. That's the problem is I think that they kind of let the liberals and

00:43:22.000 Justin Trudeau have the momentum. Even frankly, Tom Smallcare almost had more momentum than

00:43:27.300 Stephen Harper in 2015. He had the incumbent advantage. But why are you going to vote for

00:43:32.060 Stephen Harper his entire campaign was about well these other guys aren't ready they're going to do

00:43:37.720 all these big things and it's like you know in certain sense you're not scaring people sometimes

00:43:41.880 people get restless and they want a government who does big things so just because you're a

00:43:45.220 conservative doesn't mean that you sit there and you don't do stuff you can do big things in a small

00:43:50.620 government way that doesn't involve giving anyone money that involves massive deregulation or

00:43:55.820 involves taking a point off the GST and involves you know some sort of new oil pipeline plan that

00:44:01.620 you launched right before the campaign that I want to build three pipelines by the year 2030

00:44:06.240 or something like that. That's what you do. You don't just sort of sit there and hope that your

00:44:11.400 opponents are viewed as too radical to replace you. You got to make sure that you're so good

00:44:16.220 that nobody would want to change teams. Yes. So as Alan Gratton here says, from what I was saying

00:44:25.500 earlier, and getting people off social assistance and back to work actually increases tax revenues.

00:44:29.960 Absolutely. It's not even that we cut down on our welfare spending. It's that we literally

00:44:35.720 increase the revenues. Not only do we have revenues back because we're not having to spend on those

00:44:40.120 people, but those people are then becoming contributors. Maybe I'd even like a big tax

00:44:45.540 exempt zone of the poly of running on the first $25,000 on your income not being taxed, and then

00:44:53.740 also running on a big tax cut. Because frankly, people making less than $50,000 a year are not

00:44:59.500 paying a lot of taxes. We all pay taxes in that range. That's not where the bulk of taxes are

00:45:04.600 coming from. It's a very small portion. And maybe let's not lower the GST, but let people keep their

00:45:10.660 own money and they'll spend more money and the government will get it back in some way or another

00:45:14.180 anyways. But at least the person was able to benefit a little bit by being able to spend it

00:45:18.780 on something rather than it just being cut right out of their paycheck at the end of the day.

00:45:23.840 uh distrooid distroid i i see him on on x a lot too but i can but again i don't like the way that

00:45:33.240 youtube is displaying people's names as their at symbol because a lot of people just have

00:45:36.920 garbled up stuff as their at uh he says and thank you for the 1399 super chat hey wyatt do uh do i

00:45:44.420 think pierre is not fighting hey wyatt why do i think pierre is not fighting to win he's just

00:45:49.580 waiting for Carney to lose. Pierre is like everything is going to be the same, but with

00:45:54.560 one minor pipeline and 1% less tax, no ICT. Now, I'd agree with that. And that's my thing.

00:46:01.140 Sometimes the criticisms of the Conservative Party feeling a little out of ideas is not even

00:46:06.840 exactly wrong. It's that I disagree with people like Corey Tanik and these guys, because frankly,

00:46:12.740 they're not conservatives. They're not going to push bold conservative policies. My thing is we

00:46:16.300 just shouldn't be swapping out the leader because it's not a leadership problem. It's more of a

00:46:21.100 culture problem inside the Conservative Party that they're basically sitting there as the government

00:46:26.340 in waiting, hoping that Carney just like falls on his face, you know, slips on a banana peel and

00:46:32.000 just gives the Conservative Party the government. As I was saying before, Mark Carney is a boring

00:46:39.280 person. He is not spectacular anything. So if he screws up, it's not going to be a big looking

00:46:45.540 screw up. Even if it's a really bad thing, it'll take like an hour to explain to people why it's

00:46:50.020 so bad. He's also not so fantastical that whenever he does something, it seems amazing. He's just

00:46:55.660 boring. And so the conservatives, if they want to win, they're really going to have to grab for that

00:46:59.920 brass ring and run on a big, bold policy plan on social issues, criminal justice, taxes, foreign

00:47:09.740 policy, I would run the next campaign on massively cutting taxes, some pro-life reforms and cutting

00:47:15.980 China out of Canada. Great, great, easy things for people to remember. And in fact, you'll win 1.00

00:47:21.980 a lot of Chinese voters because they hate the CCP like rats hate rat poison. But anyway, so I think 0.99

00:47:30.180 that the I have had some positive conversations in the background with people involved in policy

00:47:35.960 in the Conservative Party, and they are looking for more of that kind of big turn, rather than

00:47:41.660 these kind of little, hey, can you take the tax off this? Or hey, can we get rid of the industrial

00:47:46.680 carbon tax? Because I also dislike the industrial carbon tax. The thing is that, one, it's not,

00:47:53.520 let's put it this way, it's not very sexy to get rid of the industrial carbon tax.

00:47:57.580 What does that mean to the average person? You talk to somebody in their 20s, and you say,

00:48:01.780 we're going to get rid of the industrial carbon tax. What's that person thinking?

00:48:05.660 What's that worth? $5? $10,000? What is that actually worth to me? Now, I think the conservatives

00:48:12.200 have said it's somewhere in the ballpark of it's going to save you $1,200 a year. Maybe that's

00:48:18.620 right. Although parties sometimes overestimate a little bit when it comes to how regulatory taxes

00:48:23.940 end up affecting you personally. It does affect you. It's just how much of a benefit is really

00:48:29.040 going to end up coming to you if we get rid of the industrial carbon tax. It's debatable. I would

00:48:33.740 still get rid of it. But this is why you run on a straight income tax, a big straight income tax,

00:48:39.660 because everyone can think about how much money they make. And they can think, huh, if we across

00:48:44.540 all brackets reduce taxes 20%, I don't even need to go to a calculator and figure out how much less

00:48:49.600 I'm paying in each bracket. I just know that all the brackets are going to be 20% lower. That

00:48:53.840 person can, right then, they know I make around, let's just say, and this is not how much I make

00:48:59.140 people, I'm just using numbers. I make $95,000 a year. And so I used to pay $17,000 or $23,000

00:49:07.440 in taxes, whatever it is. And if I was paying 20% less, oh, wow, I would be paying like $18,000,

00:49:13.980 not $22,000. Easy stuff, people. That's what you want people to think. You want them to be like,

00:49:19.260 oh my goodness, we can go on that family vacation we've been skipping. If there's not an aha moment

00:49:24.240 based on a thing you're running on, do not run on it because it doesn't matter to people.

00:49:29.340 Run on a big pro-life reform that will make pro-lifers go, oh my goodness, suddenly the

00:49:33.320 conservatives are running on even restricting abortion in the most minor ways. Perfect. I'll

00:49:38.060 actually show up for those issues because, guys, lots of maritime voters are socially conservative,

00:49:43.940 of fiscally liberal. But if the Conservative Party of Canada is not running a socially

00:49:49.080 conservative platform in any way, they will drop down to their other issues, which may just be

00:49:54.360 their pension. It may just be that they want more economic investment from the government

00:49:58.680 in the Maritimes, and they'll vote liberal. And you could say, well, the liberals are even worse

00:50:02.860 on life issues. It's like, well, but the conservatives aren't doing anything with them.

00:50:06.780 You can't blame them for just saying, well, I guess I don't vote for social reasons. I'm going

00:50:11.160 to vote for fiscal reasons. And they're in an economically depressed area of the country that

00:50:15.460 is used to thinking that the government needs to drive growth and they just vote for the liberals

00:50:20.120 instead. That's what the conservatives need. You want massive bail reform and like way higher

00:50:28.060 minimum sentences. Fentanyl should be like a 10 year, an eight year sentence for your first

00:50:34.740 fentanyl dealing offense. Just crazy stuff like that, like really big stuff, because that is how

00:50:40.120 you win Chinese Canadians and Korean Canadians who live in places like Richmond. They are the 1.00

00:50:45.380 most hawkish voters when it comes to criminal justice. Mickey says, why can I be your assistant

00:50:53.140 to the manager? No, I am already the assistant to the regional manager. Get out of here, Mickey.

00:50:58.880 You're trying to double play me or whatever. James says, ahoy. Marlene says, I can't picture

00:51:06.180 Carney door knocking. I can't really imagine him door knocking either. Oh, someone said there's

00:51:13.060 ads during this live stream. I'll actually go fix that right now because I don't think

00:51:16.860 I can change that. I didn't actually want to do that. Okay.

00:51:25.800 Jay Davis has saved us all from the ads by pointing that out to me. Okay, so there's no

00:51:29.840 more ads. That was just something that YouTube did. JimDR63 says, anyone think we get tossed

00:51:40.440 out of the five I's for signing an agreement with the CCP secret police? I actually don't think

00:51:48.100 that would happen because frankly, a lot of the other five I countries are really incompetent

00:51:52.020 when it comes to China. The only country that's very hawkish against China is America at the

00:51:57.140 moment and you know other countries that are not part of the five eyes uh you know obviously you

00:52:01.840 know the republic of china taiwan is very anti-china but a lot of the world is just very

00:52:06.420 naive when it comes to the chinese especially because the most most problems that are like

00:52:12.140 really active and visual at the moment are coming from russia iran and then you know just general

00:52:20.000 terrorist groups around the world. Vince of New Scotland for $10, thank you Vince, says I'd like

00:52:30.220 to see some more contrast with peers policies ideas compared to Mark Carney. Here's ideas are

00:52:35.360 just better like the critical mineral reserve access for leverage on tariffs and I'd agree

00:52:40.900 and I think that that's on trade that is one area where poly have started improving earlier this

00:52:46.720 year. And I think they should keep extending that improvement that they've made. Because

00:52:51.960 start running on the fact that the Carney liberals are terrified of Trump. That is what

00:52:57.200 the conservatives should run on. Mark Carney is scared of Trump. He is scared of him. That is why

00:53:02.960 he refuses to step into a room and negotiate on trade with him. Even though he realizes that this

00:53:08.600 is a negotiation that's going to require him and Donald Trump to literally meet, he refuses to do

00:53:14.560 it. He's scared of losing and no negotiation, so he thinks the only winning move is not to play,

00:53:19.300 but that has resulted in things like the Gorey Howe bridge situation, because as Trump keeps

00:53:24.160 pushing on him, Carney doesn't want to deal with it, so he just lets him have it. I thought he was

00:53:28.340 the guy who knew how to deal with Donald Trump. It's absolutely infuriating what's going on.

00:53:34.480 Another rumor in the world of leadership rumors, but like Polioff's not stepping down, I've heard

00:53:39.980 from people around him.

00:53:41.220 He's not feeling the pressure exactly

00:53:43.160 from people like Corey Tanaik.

00:53:45.620 And frankly, Corey Tanaik, Nick Kuvalis,

00:53:48.880 all these individuals, Anthony Koch, Ben Wooden-Findon,

00:53:53.560 all these other people saying,

00:53:54.500 I'm so depressed in the current state

00:53:56.320 of the Conservative Party

00:53:57.360 and implying we need leadership renewal

00:54:00.620 or with Nick Kuvalis actively saying

00:54:02.860 that they want to get rid of Paliyev. 0.50

00:54:04.700 I think they've mostly done damage to themselves 1.00

00:54:07.000 because people like all those individuals

00:54:09.400 and Caroline Elliott have looked like 0.91

00:54:11.600 complete whiners 1.00

00:54:13.220 in doing all this. They've been exposed 0.92

00:54:15.540 for what they want to do. Pretty much every

00:54:17.380 content creator after

00:54:19.360 Brittany and I had been going after them

00:54:21.200 kind of jumped, not jumped on the trend

00:54:23.420 but they had also kind of like looked

00:54:25.320 into it, seen that this is really sleazy

00:54:27.440 and just started raining shots down

00:54:29.520 on all these guys because they 0.98

00:54:31.260 absolutely deserve it.

00:54:39.400 Oh, someone is, Karen here is responding to Tyson saying, did anyone see Moose showing Trudeau in Katy Perry's music video? He looks like a dweeb.

00:54:52.520 I try to ignore the fact that Justin Trudeau still exists.

00:54:56.500 In my headcanon of Canadian politics, Justin Trudeau just walked off into the void after he stopped being prime minister.

00:55:05.840 This is a different Justin Trudeau walking around.

00:55:10.960 Just like how there's that guy who calls himself Palm Beach Pete who looks stunningly similar to Jeffrey Epstein.

00:55:17.600 Let's just say that's what happened to Justin Trudeau.

00:55:19.620 this is like moose jaw trudeau this is moose jaw justin walking around no relation with the real

00:55:27.380 justin trudeau uh cool t says it's white claypool here and bracket says i love it me and my wife

00:55:39.300 always say it before you say it it's a thing and hopefully i don't disappoint people because

00:55:43.580 sometimes i don't say it in the video because i think it's just because i don't drink enough water

00:55:47.800 and when you're kind of vocal cords and whatnot are a bit dry it's hard to say words so when i'm

00:55:52.740 saying my intro i sometimes screw it up or it's just like the psychology of it you're trying to

00:55:56.920 say all the words like in order and you're like hey guys why it click cool here and you're like

00:56:01.420 literal voice starts like locking up and saying it wrong from like badly learned muscle memory

00:56:06.360 um yeah nelson cade points out the owner of the ambassador bridge donated one million dollars

00:56:17.160 to the Trump 2024 campaign.

00:56:20.340 Yeah, so that seems a little bit like

00:56:22.160 potentially Trump's just benefiting one of his donors

00:56:25.000 by putting pressure on the new Gordie Howe Bridge

00:56:27.680 because not only are they going to revenue share

00:56:30.360 with the Americans,

00:56:31.280 but they may demand that the price or the toll go up 10%,

00:56:35.940 which means that there's almost like no price difference

00:56:39.760 between the Ambassador Bridge and the Gordie Howe Bridge,

00:56:42.420 which was going to be like the big business case

00:56:46.080 for the Gordie Howe Bridge.

00:56:47.160 We need to expand our transportation access into the United States, and it's going to cost less.

00:56:54.760 So there's going to be an easier, cheaper way for people to move stuff across the border.

00:57:01.020 He says, I like your color combo going on.

00:57:03.280 Thank you.

00:57:03.680 I was originally going to wear the weird, like, creamsicle-looking orange sweater I have, but I decided against it while I was walking downstairs, and I was making my tea.

00:57:13.160 I'm not sure if you guys like tea.

00:57:14.640 I like tea.

00:57:15.340 My favorite tea is this Tazo wild sweet orange tea.

00:57:19.260 I like other teas.

00:57:20.480 That one is my favorite.

00:57:22.740 As Marlene points out, Harper cut taxes and the GST.

00:57:25.800 And I know that he did cut tax in the GST.

00:57:28.920 I'm sorry.

00:57:30.100 I'm a bit focused on the GST and tax issue.

00:57:32.600 Not that I was forgetting he did that.

00:57:34.660 It's more so still towards the last few years of Harper being prime minister.

00:57:38.680 It did feel like he did a good management job, but it wasn't like any big things were

00:57:43.060 happening for it to keep people excited.

00:57:45.340 Vince of New Scotland says Pierre is running on a 15 percent income tax cut and that's the

00:57:59.180 problem. No he's not. He ran on a 15 percent income tax cut on the first fifty thousand dollars that

00:58:05.920 you make which is not that great because you don't even pay any income taxes on the first

00:58:10.340 $18,000, and that is like a 2.25% reduction in the amount, the tax rate for that bracket.

00:58:18.840 The problem is, is that most people make way more than $50,000, and they're still struggling.

00:58:24.820 They're struggling to pay for their kids to go to school, to pay for their mortgage,

00:58:28.960 all this stuff. Groceries are expensive. And so when you push out a tax cut like that,

00:58:34.460 even the poly of conservatives, we're up front with saying that this is going to save you like

00:58:37.580 $800 a year. The liberal tax cut's only going to save you like $350 a year. And so my problem with

00:58:44.640 it is it's so price is right, the liberals say, we'll give you one. And then the conservatives

00:58:49.700 are like, how about two? And it's like, how about name a number way bigger than that and apply it to

00:58:56.340 all of the tax brackets? That's what I'd like to see.

00:59:00.360 mickey says why my boss michael has an opening uh opening for assistant to the manager but that's

00:59:11.220 weak how best can i show him that he's my subordinate and take his job instead you got

00:59:16.240 to go into his office during the interview and you got to take his desk from him proving that

00:59:20.920 you're the bigger man that's how you got to do it mickey and don't blame me if you get arrested

00:59:25.500 uh ronald dow says i guess four election losses in a row is okay with some people

00:59:33.980 to be fair i like i'm not sure who you're directing that at but the conservative party

00:59:40.780 it really has lost the last four elections in a row for the same reason each time just

00:59:46.020 nothing too inspiring they just try and run against the liberals but not run in favor of

00:59:51.220 anything themselves. And that's my point. Replacing Polyev doesn't change that that's

00:59:56.940 going to stay the conservative culture. If anything, it's easier to change the conservative

01:00:01.080 culture with a leader who knows that they have to start doing bigger things if they want to stick

01:00:06.160 around. If anything, a little pressure on Polyev isn't a bad thing. If it then results in them

01:00:12.020 starting to just throw haymaker policies out, that's what they really need to start doing here.

01:00:21.220 uh candabud 23 says it's unfortunate that the liberals can just lay back and get the vote

01:00:29.940 but conservatives have to work extremely hard to get the same benefit now i would say that's

01:00:34.980 actually kind of untrue people forget what happened in 2015 justin trudeau actually did 0.99

01:00:41.700 run on some bold ideas stupid ideas yes bold ideas yes they were stupidly bold ideas he ran on 0.97

01:00:49.940 big deficits to invest in the economy and do stuff like that he ran on very progressive woke 1.00

01:00:55.900 social reform in 2015 and although that's stupid it seemed kind of spicy to a certain type of voter 0.84

01:01:01.700 he won a lot of young women with those social policies and with a lot of his spending with a 0.76

01:01:07.140 lot of seniors ended up being willing to vote for them you want a lot of millennial types basically

01:01:12.140 saying well you're not even paying high taxes anyways how about we need to kick start this

01:01:16.340 economy and invest in it. And it all sounded quite good. If you don't really know a lot about

01:01:21.860 economics or, you know, how to keep a society together. But a lot of people voted on it because

01:01:28.020 it was bold. And that's why Harper lost. Harper was not going to beat him by just showing how much

01:01:33.920 all the spending that Justin Trudeau is going to add onto the debt and whatnot. It was kind of a

01:01:38.540 weak response. And once you're in government, you're not as required to do big things all the

01:01:44.780 time. But Trudeau did do big things. The carbon tax was a really big thing. Stupid thing, yes,

01:01:50.620 it was a big thing, though. A lot of the green investment was really, really big. Now, we don't 1.00

01:01:56.420 think of it as big. We just think of it as stupid. But if you're a left-wing voter, you might think 1.00

01:02:01.420 of these things as really bold ideas. Now, the liberals were doing that at the same time the

01:02:05.820 conservatives were basically just sitting back and saying, that's not going to work. That's bad.

01:02:10.400 And by the way, they're right. But people don't like to vote for the guy who's just sitting there

01:02:14.060 saying, that's bad, that's not going to work. You have to follow up and say, and that's why I'm

01:02:18.000 going to do X, Y, and Z that the other guy's not doing. Vince of New Scotland says, well,

01:02:23.860 Carney failed to negotiate tariffs, and he certainly failed at housing and the economy.

01:02:29.240 And then he says, so where is the win? I'm waiting for the media to tell me where the win is. I like

01:02:34.640 when they had a CPAC, you know, the public parliamentary broadcaster. CPAC had a panel

01:02:41.760 on where a liberal strategist was sitting on the panel and they asked her what the big wins were.

01:02:46.480 And this was only a few months ago. And she just admitted that they're going to have to start

01:02:49.620 getting some wins on the board for reelection. Now they'll say that the pipeline is a win.

01:02:54.600 I don't know how it's a win because I can announce a bunch of projects. Guys, I'm going to build a

01:02:59.020 pipeline up to Caluate. I don't know why I'm just going to do it. And it's going to be done in 20

01:03:04.640 years. Apparently that you can just do that because that's what the Carney liberals have done.

01:03:09.540 They're announcing projects with these crazy big timelines that would never exist in any other country.

01:03:16.280 That just allows them to announce something and they don't even have to start working on it for four years.

01:03:20.420 Because building the actual pipeline should only take like, you know, maybe two or three years if they just got to work right away. 0.84

01:03:27.380 We're waiting a long time for stupid consultations that could absolutely result in a massive failure of the project. 0.53

01:03:33.840 Like with the Musqueam, who Carney gave the land title of the entire Lower Mainland, where the pipeline's going to have to go through, and they are anti-oil and gas. 0.97

01:03:42.380 And they have to negotiate with 107 other First Nation bans as well.

01:03:47.820 My goodness.

01:03:52.340 I'm trying to catch up with what other people are.

01:03:54.480 I'm almost trying to catch up and answer some of these things, just so I'm not kind of leaving everyone behind here.

01:03:59.100 king od old man milo here says uh and they're a member for six months so thank you for being a

01:04:06.100 member for so long i can't stand how much the legacy media carries the liberals water and how

01:04:10.820 much gaslighting the legacy media and the carny liberals do uh at some point we'll maybe all get

01:04:18.060 used to it since it's been going on for quite a long time that's always the thing i just can't

01:04:22.280 stand about watching i still watch it because i find it somewhat entertaining but the thing that's

01:04:27.460 so annoying about the cbc's coverage of the news is that they're not covering anything relevant

01:04:33.800 they're talking about the big issues but they're always talking about it like from the most boring

01:04:39.160 perspective and whenever they have conservatives on their panels they're just weak they don't really

01:04:44.080 say anything it's like fred delori i guarantee you he's also going to say the conservatives are

01:04:48.860 complaining the conservatives are doing a loser talk by pointing out obvious flaws with the

01:04:54.400 obviously flawed pipeline plan. That is all you hear on the CBC. Oh, a bunch of announcements

01:04:59.340 were made. Oh, look, a bunch of jobs were created. And then you're never actually going to see that

01:05:03.100 the announcement didn't result in anything or those seasonal jobs immediately bled out of the

01:05:07.600 economy a few months later because this happens every year. And it wasn't because Mark Carney's

01:05:12.060 some sort of economic magician. CGR902 for $5. Thank you, man, says Polyev softening his message

01:05:19.560 hasn't resulted in increased poll numbers. He should try to return to being a more confident,

01:05:24.040 strong and no BS style. And that's true. It's not even just a policy thing. I think that Polly

01:05:29.820 of being more willing to kind of push back against the media is actually a good thing.

01:05:35.180 And I think there's somebody out there who's probably told him, don't attack the media. We

01:05:39.720 don't want to be enemies of the media. They're never going to like you. But every time he dunks

01:05:44.640 on a journalist, he gets way more news than he ever will that entire month, even if he was just

01:05:49.400 doing press conferences the entire time, you know, critiquing liberal policies and whatnot.

01:05:54.720 He immediately has a chance to actually say something to Canadians every time he destroys

01:06:00.040 a journalist because suddenly people pay attention to him again, and then he can make a big proposal.

01:06:06.120 Wallflower for $5 says, by saying that, by saying he was actively trying to outpear,

01:06:11.980 did Nick X post not basically admit to election interference? Oh, you're absolutely right. That

01:06:17.180 was the funny thing is you're probably a little bit behind in the stream, but Nick Kuvalis and

01:06:22.120 Corey tonight, they're acting like they're just retaliating against Polyev, but their narrative

01:06:28.240 for why they're retaliating makes no sense. Oh, they were holding events in Ontario while we were

01:06:33.040 running the PC campaign in Ontario in early 2025. It's like, well, Polyev didn't force you to call

01:06:39.440 that super early snap election and all of his rallies and all the conservative barbecue events

01:06:44.480 and whatnot. And although it was winter, so it wasn't, I think he mentioned something about that,

01:06:48.820 but like, obviously, Polyev didn't schedule a bunch of events in the winter of 2025 to mess

01:06:58.000 with Doug Ford's reelection. He already was going to do those events, but apparently he should have

01:07:03.340 canceled them all and gone campaigning with Doug Ford. That is what he should have done,

01:07:07.660 according to Nick Kuvels and Corey Tanike, despite the fact that Ford has never been friendly

01:07:13.200 to Pierre Polyev, and he in fact has been undermining him and cozying up with Mark Carney

01:07:17.960 constantly. That is what he should have done. But you are right, Wallflower, in the sense that Nick

01:07:24.000 Kouvalis then admitted that since then, since that moment when Polyev did nothing to them,

01:07:29.760 they've been trying to actively destroy him. Cam TJR for $5 says, is there a reason why

01:07:36.720 Pierre won't run on a 20% tax cut. Has he not thought of it, or does he think it's a good idea,

01:07:43.940 or will he run on it next? Now, from talking to the policy people in the background,

01:07:48.940 they are open to it. And the first question they asked me was, well, it was a little silly,

01:07:53.460 although I don't actually think the person that was their serious position. I think it was just

01:07:56.560 the default follow-up whenever you make a big tax proposal. They said, well, how are we going

01:08:02.120 find room for it in the budget. So what my actual response was, who cares? Who cares about the

01:08:09.840 budget? Guys, who cares about running a deficit? The Liberals have run 11 deficits. I think

01:08:15.480 Conservatives, if they get into government, are entitled to a couple of deficits before they

01:08:20.100 start making the, before they start balancing the budget. In fact, a massive reform to the tax

01:08:27.060 system, lowering taxes and kickstarting the economy will make it easier to get a balanced

01:08:33.540 budget in a couple of years. So I would say conservatives should run on basically saying

01:08:39.180 within the end of our four year term, we will have balanced the budget. First year, you rip

01:08:44.060 the bandaid off and you massively cut taxes, you boost the economy, which will also reduce the

01:08:49.360 amount of social welfare spending on all these other things. But in time, your tax revenues will

01:08:54.580 be going up from the higher productivity, and then you can reduce the deficit and balance the

01:09:02.520 budget. To which the person I was actually talking to said, well, you know, fair enough, that's

01:09:06.320 actually not a bad idea. And it's like, yes, at the end of the day, let's stop thinking about the

01:09:10.940 bureaucrats and what makes their jobs easier. Guess what? Make them have the stressful job

01:09:17.500 of finding things to cut, of finding stupid contracts to cut, stupid programs, other things 1.00

01:09:22.140 like that. Let them figure that out. Let's stop making the taxpayer figure out how they're going 1.00

01:09:27.400 to make it to the end of the year in a country which is economy barely functions. How about we

01:09:32.520 do that instead? So I think that's the narrative that the conservatives should be running on.

01:09:37.100 The first thing we do before we balance the budget, we're not just going to, we're not,

01:09:41.020 you're not going to be forgotten. We are going to make sure that you are made whole before we

01:09:44.660 balance this budget. You will get a massive tax cut, then we will try and balance the budget.

01:09:48.940 You know, it's time for the government to be more stressed than other people.

01:09:53.180 Karen Whitlock here says for five dollars. Thank you, Karen.

01:09:57.120 Polyev should run on policy. He gets free of found and free food and housing.

01:10:02.220 Do what Trump did and donate to vets instead of salary cuts to MP salaries, etc.

01:10:08.500 Well, to be fair, you are actively not allowed to actually take less of your salary as an MP.

01:10:15.100 if you're suggesting that poliev should basically to ingratiate himself with people start trying to

01:10:20.640 like donate uh some of his salary publicly i actually don't think that would work in the

01:10:25.760 sense that not that it's a bad thing to do it in the sense that one i got one if you donate to

01:10:31.640 charity i really don't think you should even tell people what you donate to you know it's in the

01:10:35.880 bible you should not be going around telling people why you are donating to showing how much

01:10:40.800 you're donating all the stuff unless it's from like a foundation or whatever and you're just

01:10:45.120 presenting it you know i don't think it's good for politicians to go around advertising how much

01:10:49.140 they they give to charity but also even if he did that i think a lot of people just roll their eyes

01:10:54.840 and be like oh look he's trying to make us like him by donating to charity uh but i i think mp

01:11:00.340 salaries would be something i would i would think that you should be lowering a little bit when you

01:11:04.160 get into government is to take them from what they're making right now like 205 000 a year

01:11:09.560 and bump them down to like $190,000, $185,000, I think an MP can survive on that.

01:11:16.220 They get pretty good money for not having to do very much.

01:11:19.240 And of course, cabinet ministers and other positions get more money as well.

01:11:23.740 So I think that would be a minor way of saving money and symbolically showing,

01:11:27.740 hey, we are going to be cutting wasteful spending elsewhere,

01:11:31.060 but we will first be cutting our salaries.

01:11:33.680 Karen Law here says for $6.99, do you see the Japanese representative on CTV

01:11:38.780 saying that Canada is too hard to deal with.

01:11:41.380 He said that too many regulations, indigenous issues. 1.00

01:11:44.080 I did see that.

01:11:44.820 I didn't watch the interview,

01:11:46.520 but I'd seen people's summations of what was said.

01:11:49.260 Maybe I'll end up covering that tomorrow

01:11:50.860 because I might be doing a video

01:11:52.020 just on how the economy is doing.

01:11:54.920 And CJR 902 says for $2, run on axing the GST.

01:12:00.260 Now you could ax the GST.

01:12:02.360 I'm fine with that.

01:12:03.860 My thing is that you need to kind of spread out

01:12:07.420 the tax benefits. Reducing the GST, which I propose taking 1% off the GST, that benefits

01:12:14.900 people on lower income sides of things. The thing is that the conservatives actually did well with

01:12:19.700 lower income working class voters. The voters that they missed were middle income and upper

01:12:25.000 middle income. They lost a lot of kind of people who are above the age of 60 who actually have

01:12:30.160 good incomes just from, you know, people who are older tend to have a lot more wealth built up.

01:12:34.000 and they, you know, they care a lot more about inclusion rates for capital gains and whatnot,

01:12:40.300 or you're at the end of your career, you're in your 50s and your 60s, and you're making

01:12:44.180 money hand over fist, those people would be benefited the most by an income tax cut,

01:12:49.500 and they would be enticed over to voting for the Conservatives. So I think that's what they need

01:12:53.640 to do. Doing one or the other, I think basically, the answer is doing a little bit of both.

01:13:00.580 and a 20 tax cut isn't just a little bit it's quite a bit and then taking one point off the

01:13:05.640 GST is kind of the nod towards yes if we cut the income taxes of people making less than 50,000 a

01:13:11.280 year that doesn't do that much for them but here's a point off the GST on top of that is what you

01:13:16.400 should be doing. Yeah CJ Kanda says sorry I meant Doug Ford rides on his brother's reputation so I

01:13:26.320 assume that was some conversation going on and absolutely rob ford was actually really great

01:13:31.760 doug ford is like the opposite of rob ford rob ford cared about every little piece of bad spending

01:13:38.120 and would go to cut it other people like doug ford has been massively increasing spending

01:13:44.220 and increasing spending for basically friends of the government there's a reason why cory tonight

01:13:49.940 is making money or has a net worth in the high eight figures it's because he was a connector

01:13:56.040 for Doug Ford's massive

01:13:58.420 subsidy money, his grants, all

01:14:00.480 the other contracts

01:14:02.060 to friends of Corey Tannik.

01:14:04.240 So Corey Tannik made a lot of money being a middleman

01:14:06.620 for those contracts.

01:14:09.540 Wyatt Pierre said

01:14:10.500 he will go to every podcast or interview

01:14:12.420 he's invited. When will we see TNT

01:14:14.560 episode with Pierre Polyev? You know

01:14:16.460 what? I've never invited him.

01:14:19.000 It's not because we don't get along or anything

01:14:20.420 like that. I just

01:14:21.180 I suspect that my

01:14:24.600 interview would be like

01:14:25.820 one that they wouldn't want to do

01:14:28.040 because I'd probably start asking about

01:14:29.800 policy and strategy, things that maybe

01:14:31.800 he couldn't answer. I don't really

01:14:33.840 know, and there are certain people in the party

01:14:35.960 I always suspect maybe don't like me,

01:14:37.860 so I've just never bothered even

01:14:39.400 requesting an interview

01:14:42.140 because I feel like it would never actually happen.

01:14:43.800 um

01:14:50.680 dab dabid dub says ford rob ford was a gem and i remember going to toronto uh hearing people hate

01:15:01.360 him i knew then i was old well actually the in fact these days the people who hate would probably

01:15:07.900 hate rob ford are older the people who like him are probably more like middle-aged or like

01:15:12.620 millennials something like that remember the liberal vote is mostly above the age of 60 these

01:15:18.360 days and it's because there's many reasons for that but a lot of it is because when you are more

01:15:24.340 well off and generally you're going to be more well off as you get older than compared to when

01:15:28.860 you're in your 20s a lot of those people are are obviously if you're above the age of 60 watching

01:15:33.520 the show you're not a liberal but a lot of those liberal people they like they vote liberal because 0.99

01:15:38.000 they're economically padded enough that they can vote for stupid reasons like elbows up against 1.00

01:15:43.700 Donald Trump. That's why they voted. They weren't voting because they were trying to protect their 1.00

01:15:47.440 income. Maybe if the conservatives ran on a big tax cut or something like that, it would jar those

01:15:52.200 people into saying, oh, there's something else I can vote for. But considering the election didn't

01:15:56.140 really have that many big policy issues for going for it, it became, do you like Mark Carney going

01:16:01.920 elbows up against Donald Trump or no? And a lot of people voted yes, because there was nothing

01:16:06.280 else to vote for in a lot of ways.

01:16:25.780 So I'm going to go through and see what other people are saying.

01:16:28.300 Hey, I can do, you know what I'm going to do?

01:16:30.560 I'm going to reveal something that I didn't actually think I was going to reveal just

01:16:34.460 because I think it's fun.

01:16:36.280 So the other day, as in yesterday, I sent an email in to somebody, and I'm being very vague here and mysterious, but we're going to go on to 338.com and check out some projections for an election.

01:16:52.860 Now, this is the current electoral projections for different ridings in Calgary for the Alberta provincial election.

01:17:08.380 Now, if you see this riding right here, Calgary-Curry, it is currently leaning NDP for the incumbent who is Janet Aramanko.

01:17:17.880 So I have sent in a request as of yesterday saying that I would like to get the nomination package for this riding because I may try and run for Calgary Curry for the United Conservative Party.

01:17:31.120 And so I'm not sure how interested you guys are in what's going on, but it didn't actually pop up on screen.

01:17:40.960 I need the projections here.

01:17:41.880 So I might actually run for a nomination for the UCP. And absolutely, people like Dallas Brody and 1BC's team know I might do this. And I keep working for Dallas the entire time because goodness, I love Dallas. I'd work for her for free. I pretty much do work for her for free.

01:17:58.260 And so what I'm going to do is run for this riding that's literally right next to where I live.

01:18:03.560 And I've heard the rumor is when the boundaries get changed,

01:18:07.880 it's going to actually include where my house is, which is nice.

01:18:11.700 And I'm specifically running for a riding that is still in the NDP category

01:18:16.600 because I have heard there are so many nominations around the city

01:18:19.840 where people are running for Calgary Acadia or Calgary Klein,

01:18:23.900 and like seven people have applied to run.

01:18:27.660 But this is what the current projections are.

01:18:29.640 They give it an 11% chance for the UCP to win the riding.

01:18:34.260 I think after boundary changes, it's going to be a little bit better.

01:18:37.640 But I will try and go for this area.

01:18:39.140 This is kind of like that Killarney-Glen Morgan kind of area right next to the Westbrook Mall and train station.

01:18:47.880 If you live in the area, you would know it.

01:18:50.260 You know, a part of Curry Barracks would be in it.

01:18:52.400 So that's what I'm going to try and do in the next little bit here. 0.94

01:18:56.300 Because if I run for a riding, I don't want it to be like an easy one, because that's kind of pathetic. And by the way, if I ever ran for something and actually won the riding, I would just keep doing the show every single day, because you should do your show every day. I don't really, I do not get it whenever people in politics are known for being doing media before. And after they become an MP or an MLA, they just stopped doing videos. And it's like, that was the only reason people knew who you were. So why are you not doing that?

01:19:25.340 so the nominations are coming up in the next couple of months here i haven't actually announced

01:19:30.740 anything officially other than to you people on this live stream but i think it's probably good

01:19:36.160 for me to announce that i i'm interested in it so that whoever i sent the email to in the

01:19:40.340 nominations department of the ucp knows that this is serious uh the the ucp right now this is the

01:19:46.940 inside baseball at the moment they have a lot of people who are pro-independence who are occupying

01:19:54.160 certain ridings in the province. I've heard the Calgary-Curry EDA is even mostly people

01:20:01.620 who are pro-independence. Now, here's the problem. Independence doesn't poll very well,

01:20:07.940 and it is the only way you're going to get people to vote for the NDP. The only way,

01:20:12.500 though, that you can marry the people who are independence-curious with the kind of more

01:20:17.720 old-school stalwart UCP, Wilderose PC guys, is by running more right-wing candidates.

01:20:23.640 the UCP needs more right-wing candidates that are not pro-separatist but at least they're

01:20:29.700 interesting enough that the separatist people will be okay to vote for them there's probably

01:20:34.280 people here right now from Alberta who are separatists who maybe this doesn't make any

01:20:38.260 sense to but the problem in a lot of ways is I think a lot of people end up supporting independence

01:20:42.360 or separatism when the UCP doesn't have anything interesting going on enough to really occupy their

01:20:47.900 time everything kind of feels a little stagnant sluggish I'm going to go do something interesting

01:20:51.740 and go campaign for independence or whatever.

01:20:54.380 And I think the way that you bring more people

01:20:56.280 back into the UCP and make sure that they don't split

01:20:58.760 during the next provincial election

01:21:01.100 is that you have to move to the right

01:21:03.120 to keep these people on board.

01:21:05.260 Now, Daniel Smith has overall done quite a good job of that,

01:21:07.960 but I think that running on a flat tax

01:21:09.980 would be a really good big idea type issue

01:21:13.240 to get your grassroots back involved with.

01:21:15.660 I think that they've done a really good job

01:21:17.580 on parental rights.

01:21:18.480 A lot of these things have been done very well

01:21:20.260 by the Smith UCP, but now they have to make sure that they don't just start cruising,

01:21:25.380 wait, and hoping that they're going to win re-election. You have to just basically stamp

01:21:29.700 down on the NDP to make sure that they don't get back up again. So yeah, so if you guys are

01:21:36.180 interested, actually, if you're in that specific riding area, and I'll show you it on the screen

01:21:41.920 in a second here, you guys can just sign up on my website, and I will be endorsing people

01:21:47.180 in other ridings for UCP nominations as well

01:21:49.920 that I think are quite good.

01:21:51.400 So if you just go to my website that I'm linking here,

01:21:53.640 you can just sign up on it on the email list.

01:21:55.820 And I ask for people's postal codes

01:21:57.480 because then I can look up postal codes

01:21:59.280 if people are in the area and then I can call them

01:22:01.300 and make sure that they've gotten a membership to vote.

01:22:06.640 But I'll look up where Calgary Curry is

01:22:08.900 for all your benefits of actually being able to see it.

01:22:13.200 But yeah, I'll be launching this somewhat soon-ish.

01:22:17.180 and there we go. Okay. I had to look up the Wikipedia page, just get a general view of it

01:22:24.780 in the city. So it's right here, right next to Calgary West. It borders on Calgary, Bow,

01:22:30.640 Buffalo, Elbow, and Glenmore. It's kind of in the heart of a lot of stuff. And if it moves,

01:22:37.180 I've heard the boundaries might move a little bit west. That will benefit the UCP quite a bit.

01:22:43.820 You know, the NDP is trying to accuse the UCP of, oh my goodness, you're trying to, you're rigging the election by changing the boundaries. It's like, no, the UCP won the last election with like 10% lead on the popular vote. But it was close because of Calgary seats having a lot of these ridings that have like a lot of urban tails around them, where they tail significantly into an urban area.

01:23:07.540 And so the NDP almost won the election by like coming within like 100 votes or less of dozens of ridings. And so a couple of ridings are being added, and all of the ridings are becoming a little bit more suburban, which is actually more representative of the entire province, rather than having this mishmash of seats that all have these little kind of feet into the downtown to capture all the very left wing voters out in the downtown area.

01:23:32.100 so if this area kind of like ends up becoming more suburban and less urban towards kind of

01:23:39.080 Killarney and and the downtown Calgary area will be much easier to win so again if you guys live

01:23:46.420 especially in this Curry area I would sign up on my website and I'll make sure to give you a call

01:23:50.320 and make sure you have a membership and all that stuff but I will be launching that somewhat soon

01:23:55.800 maybe in the next month or so I'll hope that I'll hear back from the UCP hopefully I'm not a pariah

01:24:01.980 it's weird I always get treated like

01:24:04.620 garbage everywhere I go

01:24:06.680 I'm not trying to be a martyr it's just kind of 0.98

01:24:08.780 true that for some reason people

01:24:10.760 and parties don't like me

01:24:12.020 but you know whatever I think I tend

01:24:14.780 to ruffle the right feathers though

01:24:16.200 Kanda

01:24:22.880 Kanda Lita

01:24:24.680 Seven says Kanda nowadays is

01:24:26.740 a country where you get votes on promising

01:24:28.620 legal use of marijuana and free beer

01:24:30.560 well and you're right about the marijuana thing i actually forgot about that that was another one

01:24:34.400 of the big ideas that uh justin trudeau had one on a run on in 2015 that was kind of a problem

01:24:39.940 for stephen harper is again he's running on all these big social change ideas he's running on

01:24:45.320 big he's literally you have to almost give trudeau credit he ran on deficit spending 0.92

01:24:49.920 which is somewhat gutsy no despite the fact it's also very stupid at least it was a bold pitch the 0.96

01:24:57.200 idea that we're the government should be investing more in the economy and the government's been too 1.00

01:25:01.920 you know sat back that's what trudeau had run on now that's a stupid idea it's not going to work 0.88

01:25:06.900 but it felt big and i think that's why it ended up capturing a bunch of votes maxime uh t hanov 0.82

01:25:15.900 says conservatives lost four consecutive elections it's time to change strategies and graduate

01:25:20.620 from slogans to reality and i i'd agree with that i think it's again you just need to win

01:25:26.360 big, difficult policy fights. Stop taking on small policy fights, because those ones,

01:25:33.320 even if you win them, you don't get very much from it. And Carney half the time can just steal

01:25:37.720 your idea and move on. Sometimes conservatives are like, well, we don't want our ideas stolen,

01:25:42.140 so let's not say anything. It's like, no, no, no, run on an idea so big, your opponent will

01:25:50.280 never take it from you because they're too ideologically against what you said.

01:25:56.360 Angela Williams says Danielle would love you well that's funny I'm not sure if Danielle actually

01:26:00.780 likes me and I don't mean this in like a bad way I just remember I was a very big opponent of her

01:26:05.040 leadership campaign in 2022 because and I would say that she has proven me wrong in a lot of ways

01:26:10.740 that I just had some sort of concerns with very hyper progressive positions that she had taken

01:26:16.560 previously some other things about the floor crossing that I wasn't really too fond of but

01:26:22.220 since then overall they've been doing quite a good

01:26:24.200 job so I'm like a reverse Peter Guthrie

01:26:26.420 Peter Guthrie was the first

01:26:28.080 MLA to endorse Daniel Smith

01:26:30.260 in the 22 leadership race but

01:26:32.180 he's now also the guy who left to go start

01:26:34.220 the progressive Tories party

01:26:35.760 so I'm like the guy

01:26:38.300 who started not started being

01:26:40.220 hyper skeptical and very worried

01:26:42.340 about her leadership but now liking

01:26:44.220 her whereas Peter Guthrie started out

01:26:46.240 loving her and now he is her mortal

01:26:48.320 enemy trying to take votes away from her

01:26:50.420 gotthumbs2235 says why it's that they don't like to hear things so direct seems canadians are more

01:26:58.960 uh like women and don't like things discussed in a frank way well apparently apparently all 0.98

01:27:05.000 the women are going to hunt you down and kill you for saying that now 0.94

01:27:07.600 oh and the i've heard the alberta ndp like naheed nenshi the alberta ndp leader 0.98

01:27:16.100 could even possibly step down as a leader

01:27:18.940 before the next provincial election

01:27:20.680 just based on how poorly he is currently polling.

01:27:24.400 And Racky Pacchioli would try and run,

01:27:27.300 who is like the NDP MLA for like Edmonton White Mud or whatever.

01:27:31.900 I actually don't think he's going to step down.

01:27:33.700 I think he, in theory, it would be a good idea for him to.

01:27:37.020 I just don't think anyone wants to run in his place

01:27:39.700 because the chances that the NDP win are so slim.

01:27:43.620 It's mostly a defensive election for them,

01:27:45.660 just trying to hold on to what they have now, that they're trying to basically hold on to what

01:27:52.100 they have. But who would want to be the leader during a defensive election? Because you're

01:27:57.660 probably going to get thrown out for losing the election right afterwards. So why not just at

01:28:02.100 least stick around a little bit? Or why not just stick it out, wait another year, wait for Nenshi

01:28:07.840 to lose, then try and become leader. Andrew Williams says, you backed Redford. No, no,

01:28:13.140 I absolutely did not back Redford. My point, I backed Travis Taves for the UCP leadership.

01:28:20.300 And a lot of people, and this is the problem, is that he had kind of like the backing of the

01:28:23.900 Kenny people, which gave him this kind of like stink of establishment. The man was a rural

01:28:29.920 Baptist Mennonite. On social issues, he was going to be really good. He was fiscally conservative.

01:28:37.000 I don't think that Travis Taves would have been bad in any way, shape or form. My thought was that

01:28:41.940 he was a safer pick than Danielle, who literally had endorsed people being able to change their

01:28:47.280 sex on their birth certificates back in 2014. There were some weird positions that she was

01:28:52.260 taking back in the day that I was just like, oh my goodness, is she going to do this for the UCP

01:28:56.940 and say that we need to be like socially progressive or whatever? And she didn't end

01:29:01.380 up doing that. She's done quite the opposite, which is great to see. But I was never like

01:29:05.240 naysaying her from like a from a perspective of just like throwing nonsense accusations at a

01:29:11.140 politician you don't support it was like real concerns and i had real citations to prove why

01:29:15.560 i had a problem jim says while i'm off to bed enjoy the live stream night all well thank you

01:29:22.240 for sticking around so long anyways jim yeah a lot of people are heading off to sleep and maybe

01:29:29.980 that's probably a good time for me to actually uh sign off here because we don't need to keep doing

01:29:35.940 this forever guys but uh thanks for everyone for sticking around and and watching the you know

01:29:41.560 checking out the uh live stream hang out and chat again if you live in the calgary area sign up on

01:29:48.680 my website and i'll link it in the uh keep linking it in the comments if you guys want to uh join my

01:29:54.120 email list because then i have the data so i can basically call you if i know someone's good at

01:29:59.040 who's running in your riding or you may even live in the riding i plan to run in and i can call you

01:30:04.040 and make sure you get a membership and whatnot.

01:30:12.460 Abanakanako, who is this?

01:30:17.480 Abanakanako2585 says,

01:30:18.360 Wyatt, I have a political science undergraduate.

01:30:20.580 What do you think I should do next?

01:30:22.760 Probably go to law school is a good follow-up

01:30:25.180 from political science.

01:30:26.700 I went from taking a policy studies undergraduate

01:30:29.760 to taking a master's in public policy.

01:30:31.880 but even though that's not hyper useful the thing is I was at least going to actively work in policy

01:30:37.860 and politics so that kind of worked out anyways I tried to go to law school I actually got rejected

01:30:42.080 a couple times I'll probably reapply again I was applying in like hyper competitive years and my

01:30:47.520 grades are pretty good in my SATs not SATs my LSATs were pretty good it was just that the

01:30:53.060 universities I was applying to I think you needed to be like way closer to a 4.0 GPA in order to get

01:30:59.440 in and so I got passed over even though I did get waitlisted but you know maybe I'll do that at some

01:31:04.600 other point in my life you know you can sometimes do law school online you never know but yeah so

01:31:11.020 thanks for everyone for showing up thanks for hanging out in the live chat and discussing

01:31:16.160 the issue of Corey tonight and the the red Tory attempted coup on what is it on pure poly of here

01:31:26.480 Angela Williams says, yes,

01:31:27.920 Reftor would have been better than Notley.

01:31:30.980 I would have said that those two were borderline the same in a lot of ways.

01:31:35.800 But anyways, well, thank you guys for hanging out.

01:31:39.140 See you all next time.

01:31:40.260 Definitely a new video out tomorrow.

01:31:42.740 See you all later.
