00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and for something fun to do on New Year's Eve today, I want to take you through a top 10 list of 2024's Worst Canadian MPs.
00:00:12.960 This is a list put together by Bruce McGonigal, so make sure to go give him a follow. I have linked his account both in the description of this video as well as at the top of the comments.
00:00:22.960 This was a really well put together list because not only does he rank all of the MPs, he also has a supplementary video to prove why they deserve the place that they got.
00:00:34.360 We're going to go through it in reverse order since I want to see number 10 to number 1 rather than spoiling who was the worst MP this year.
00:00:43.060 So let's get right into it, but before we do, I'm just going to remind you guys, subscribe to the channel if you're not yet subscribed, like this video, leave a comment, make your predictions.
00:00:52.680 of who you think the worst top 10 are. Do whatever you want with that, and, you know, let's get right into this.
00:01:00.180 So Bruce McGonigal here, remember to give him a follow. His number 10 choice is Francois-Philippe Champagne.
00:01:07.280 He says, Champ is another climate alarmist who seems to spend billions on green energy without actually providing any benefit to the climate or Canadian jobs.
00:01:17.620 And here is the video that goes along with it.
00:01:22.680 What Canadians will see today is one thing they will not hear from these Conservatives, Mr. Speaker, is the cost of inaction.
00:01:29.680 The cost of forest fire, Mr. Speaker, the cost of flooding in our country, the cost of drought, Mr. Speaker, when each of these Conservatives are standing up there telling Canadians they have no plan, Mr. Speaker, to fight climate change.
00:01:42.680 On this side of the house, we recognize, like all Canadians, we need to act to save the planet.
00:01:47.680 We need to act on climate change. That's why we're going to invest in Canadians.
00:01:50.680 That's why we're going to continue to invest to make sure that we have a planet to live for children.
00:01:54.680 Oh, my goodness. I could agree with this number 10 spot.
00:02:00.680 I find this climate rhetoric is so tiring.
00:02:03.680 Like, oh, you guys don't care about the climate, but we do.
00:02:06.680 Emissions have gone up while you guys have been in office.
00:02:09.680 And I don't really care about emissions, but your guys, you guys are the ones who care.
00:02:13.680 And for some reason, they've gone up in part because you guys have been importing millions of people into the country per year.
00:02:20.680 How insane is that, that we bring in like a million people, mostly from warm climate countries into Canada in a year.
00:02:29.680 And then we keep pretending like we're trying to lower our emissions.
00:02:32.680 Why are we making it so that we're moving people from places where you don't need to burn much at all in order to survive to a place where you need to burn carbon all the time in order to actually, you know, be able to survive.
00:02:46.680 Anyways, now let's get into number nine.
00:02:51.680 We have Kevin Lemieux here.
00:02:54.680 Bruce says Kevin is upset.
00:02:55.680 Pure Polly have called out CTV or airing a fake edited video to create a fake news narrative.
00:03:01.680 I consider Kevin to be the golem of the House of Commons.
00:03:05.680 Disgraceful.
00:03:06.680 It was in terms of his personal attack on CTV.
00:03:12.680 We're used to CBC.
00:03:14.680 We have two national, actually a few, three national television networks.
00:03:19.680 And because he doesn't like the factual information that's going out on the national networks, he takes the opportunity here on the floor of the House of Commons to attack them.
00:03:33.680 CTV News later apologized to Pierre Polyev and had to fire the editors who put that clip together because it was so obviously trying to claim that Polyev wanted an election to cut like Universal Dental and Pharmacare.
00:03:47.680 Those are bad programs, but obviously it was making it look like Pierre Polyev is a terribly mean hearted man who wants to get rid of benefits for Canadians rather than what Polyev had been saying that he wants to have a carbon tax election because his main thing is getting rid of the carbon tax.
00:04:05.680 But yeah, yeah, Kevin Lemieux does seem a little bit golemish. 0.96
00:04:09.680 And again, it was so such a bad, like a talking point on the conservatives that you guys keep attacking the media will play the tape.
00:04:17.680 What did the media do?
00:04:19.680 Every time people actually see the tape, they're like, oh, Polyev is right and his popularity goes up.
00:04:24.680 But here we have number eight, Mark Holland.
00:04:28.680 I disagree with Bruce on this one because Mark Holland, I feel like, should probably be higher up on the scale.
00:04:34.680 I actually don't know who anyone is outside of number one.
00:04:38.680 I just immediately scrolled down to ten.
00:04:40.680 Mark Holland, maybe Bruce is going to prove me wrong with his choices from seven to two on why Mark Holland deserves to be this slow.
00:04:49.680 But I'd put him at like three or four, not knowing who the other people Bruce has nominated are.
00:04:54.680 But he says, Mark tells kids the planet will burn if parents take them on summer road trip.
00:04:59.680 May this video haunt Mark for the rest of his days.
00:05:02.680 This is why I think he should be higher on the list.
00:05:04.680 This is what.
00:05:05.680 Look at the faces of people around him while he does this.
00:05:08.680 Good news, kids.
00:05:09.680 You can take a summer fun time vacation where you're locked in a car for ten consecutive days nonstop with no bathroom breaks.
00:05:17.680 And the conservatives have a plan for you to have that summertime fun.
00:05:20.680 And the cost?
00:05:21.680 Give up the future of the planet.
00:05:23.680 Right?
00:05:24.680 Don't worry, kids, about climate change.
00:05:27.680 Don't worry about taking action on the planet.
00:05:30.680 Enjoy your ten hours in the car and let the planet burn.
00:05:35.680 I think that one speaks for itself.
00:05:38.680 I don't even think I need to do any commentary on that.
00:05:41.680 The best commentary I could give it is just looking at the faces of the liberals behind them.
00:05:49.680 Anyways.
00:05:50.680 So, now we get to number seven.
00:05:54.680 And now we're getting into some big headers.
00:05:56.680 We have Jennifer O'Connell here. 0.99
00:05:58.680 Boo-hoo Barbie in all of her glory. 0.53
00:06:00.680 Here, let's see it.
00:06:02.680 You might as well, Madam Speaker, speak about what happened yesterday at the Public Safety Committee, where there was pretty shocking testimony about foreign interference in the conservative election race, confirming that the member from Calgary, Nose Hill, in fact, received an angry phone call from the Indian Consulate and brought that forward to Mr. Brown's leadership campaign, where they, in fact, changed his language to make the Indian Consulate happy.
00:06:30.680 Why aren't conservatives talking?
00:06:33.680 Wow.
00:06:34.680 My goodness.
00:06:35.680 Yeah, she was the one who said boo-hoo, get over it. 0.97
00:06:38.680 I forget what that was about.
00:06:39.680 I think that was like some civil liberties violation or something like that, or people like struggling to make ends meet.
00:06:45.680 That foreign interference fake scandal is annoying, where it's like the Indian government interfered because a Consulate General contacted an MP over something insane Patrick Brown was doing.
00:06:55.680 Should they do that?
00:06:56.680 No.
00:06:57.680 No.
00:06:58.680 But is that really the summation?
00:07:00.680 Is that really how foreign interference works?
00:07:03.680 Not really.
00:07:04.680 A phone call from a Consulate does not equal their trying to twist the race because Patrick Brown wasn't going to win anyways, because Patrick Brown is a loser who deserves to lose.
00:07:13.680 He's a horrible person who cozies up with extremists like Calistanis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Tamil Tigers. 0.96
00:07:20.680 Anyways, here is number six.
00:07:23.680 Steven Gilbeau, I think, may be a little bit higher on this guy too, but I will let Bruce's list be his list.
00:07:31.680 He says, Steven celebrates being awarded the Climate Scorecard 2024 Leadership Award.
00:07:36.680 This after 2023 saw Canada burn like never before, record in our history. 0.91
00:07:41.680 Jasper National Park would go on to burn a month later.
00:07:45.680 Numerous questions have arisen over and then like basically the government's like inaction in terms of force management and whatnot.
00:07:53.680 And that is true.
00:07:54.680 The funny thing is that they try and pretend like also 2023 was like record burning years.
00:07:59.680 Most of the burning was because of bad force management.
00:08:02.680 But even when you take it by province, it wasn't even that bad of a fire year compared to other ones.
00:08:08.680 But they're trying to spin this narrative out of it that it's like that's the year that climate change came for Canada.
00:08:14.680 Here's the clip.
00:08:15.680 We've just received, in fact, the Climate Scorecard 2024 Government Climate Leadership Award, Mr. Speaker, Canada.
00:08:25.680 If I was him, I would have included the clip of Steven Gilbeau referring to himself as a proud socialist because that's one of those things where like how does anyone get away with that without the media running them down?
00:08:35.680 I can agree with this one.
00:08:38.680 This one's pretty great.
00:08:39.680 Number five, we have Arif Varani.
00:08:41.680 Arif admits he got into politics to punish anyone who disagrees with Islam in a manner he considers Islamophobic.
00:08:47.680 Arif made number five because despite 50,000 overdose deaths, he fixated instead on Bill C-63 to go after people opposing the woke WEF and Islam.
00:08:58.680 Yeah.
00:08:59.680 Okay.
00:09:00.680 So let's check this out.
00:09:01.680 And he is like an absolute C-list politician.
00:09:04.680 Think about it.
00:09:05.680 They went from Wilson-Raybould to David Lamedi, now down to Arif Varani.
00:09:10.680 I don't like any of those people, even Jody Wilson-Raybould.
00:09:13.680 She's actually a bad justice minister in AG when she was in before she got kicked out for having a moral fiber in her being and standing up to Trudeau for a second. 0.97
00:09:24.680 But overall, she was actually quite bad for the justice system. 1.00
00:09:27.680 But Arif Varani is on another level.
00:09:30.680 He has no charisma.
00:09:31.680 He has nothing to suggest that he should be in this position.
00:09:34.680 But he is an absolute pawn for Trudeau and has been pushing censorship bills and ignoring sky-high crime.
00:09:39.680 Ran for office for a number of reasons in 2015.
00:09:42.680 The chief among them was to fight against discrimination and to fight for equality in what I viewed as an increasingly polarized world.
00:09:51.680 In recent years, we have seen that polarization deepen and hatred fester, including at home here in Canada.
00:10:00.680 I would never have fathomed that in 2024, Canada would actually lead the G7 in the number of deaths attributable to Islamophobia.
00:10:08.680 Among our allies, it is Canada that has experienced...
00:10:11.680 It's literally like single digits.
00:10:13.680 It's like nothing.
00:10:14.680 Look at the actual attacks, like anti-Semitic attacks or attacks on churches.
00:10:18.680 Those blow those numbers out of the water.
00:10:20.680 The most fatal attacks against Muslims in the G7.
00:10:24.680 Eleven.
00:10:25.680 Like, that's bad.
00:10:27.680 If it's for anti-Islam reasons people are being attacked.
00:10:31.680 Awful.
00:10:32.680 But also, Arif Varani is a complete clown because he doesn't care about the other actual violence.
00:10:37.680 Okay, this is a good one.
00:10:39.680 And we just talked about her earlier today with Daniel Boardman.
00:10:42.680 Number four on the list is Yara Sachs.
00:10:45.680 A very good competitive placement for her.
00:10:48.680 I know she's been trying all year to be clown herself to get onto this list. 1.00
00:10:52.680 She was aiming to get up in the high numbers for Bruce McGonagall and she achieved it.
00:10:58.680 So, he says...
00:11:00.680 Yara says it's illegal to drive...
00:11:02.680 Divert safe supply.
00:11:03.680 If they can crack down on supply diversion, they can't...
00:11:06.680 They...
00:11:07.680 Why can't they crack down on the lethal drugs poisoning 50,000 Canadians to death since Trudeau came into power?
00:11:13.680 Also, she ended up... 1.00
00:11:15.680 Remember, during the Freedom Convoy claimed that the, you know, honking horns, honk, honk, equals Heil Hitler.
00:11:23.680 Because Yara Sachs is a moron. 0.99
00:11:25.680 Even then, earlier this year, she shook hands and met with Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank of Israel, who literally runs a pay-for-slay program where the families of terrorists get paid out a pension if their son dies murdering Jews in Israel.
00:11:43.680 That's how insane she is. 1.00
00:11:45.680 Mr. Speaker, the member well knows that, first and foremost, diversion is illegal in this country of any narcotics.
00:11:54.680 Doesn't matter what they're for.
00:11:56.680 ADHD, methamphetamines, or anything else of the sort.
00:12:00.680 She's giving me such strong Kamala Harris vibes right now.
00:12:03.680 She has that kind of lazy way of talking, Mr. Speaker. 0.97
00:12:07.680 We know that diverting drugs in any capacity is illegal.
00:12:12.680 It's like, what are you...
00:12:13.680 Talk normally, please.
00:12:15.680 When it comes to prescribed alternatives, Mr. Speaker, it is one tool of many to combat the overdose crisis in this country to save lives, Mr. Speaker.
00:12:26.680 They choose an either or in a war on drugs policy that will leave people dead in the streets rather than getting them to healthcare.
00:12:34.680 Shame on them, Mr. Speaker.
00:12:35.680 Yeah, but that's why we have record deaths, Yara. 0.95
00:12:38.680 Good job.
00:12:39.680 Good job.
00:12:40.680 What an absolute simpleton.
00:12:42.680 Anyways, now moving on to the top three guys.
00:12:45.680 These are the real heavy hitters.
00:12:48.680 Taken bronze this year.
00:12:50.680 In third place, we have Chrystia Freeland. 0.95
00:12:53.680 Despite being center stage at the World Economic Forum, it's difficult to make sense of what Chrystia Freeland is saying.
00:12:59.680 This is what Bruce McGonigal has written here.
00:13:01.680 Liberals invested huge in EV batteries and cars only to watch that money vanish without new factories or way more Canadian electric vehicles.
00:13:12.680 And I spoke yesterday to a very significant international business leader who is also a big investor in Canada.
00:13:20.680 And he said to me, all the countries in the world need to be very careful that decarbonization does not mean deindustrialization.
00:13:32.680 I thought that was an extremely smart comment.
00:13:35.680 And Canada is absolutely determined that decarbonization for us will mean more jobs, more growth, more manufacturing.
00:13:45.680 And we recognize government needs to play a role to make that happen.
00:13:50.680 My goodness, it's all these people are socialists when you scratch below the surface enough.
00:13:55.680 They always believe like and the government needs to be there to make all this work to get this, you know, to get like to secure the growth.
00:14:03.680 It's like, no, that's not how it works.
00:14:06.680 OK, now we have number two on the list.
00:14:09.680 Randy Blasano, obviously, Randy or maybe other Randy can also get number two.
00:14:15.680 It is the second place, so I think we can give it to two of them.
00:14:18.680 Randy warns the planet will burn if we don't pay more money for liberal slush funds.
00:14:23.680 Randy made number two slot because there are two of him and no one can seem to find the second Randy
00:14:28.680 who really cashed in big on federal contracts.
00:14:31.680 As you know, he ran the I think the global health imports with his weirdo friend.
00:14:36.680 And they ended up like basically taking contracts and fleecing the government, pretending to be an indigenous owned firm while Randy was still in the government because he got elected in 2015. 0.77
00:14:47.680 He was defeated in 2019, but he got back in in 2021.
00:14:50.680 And the firm he started in 2020 to take advantage of covid contracts kept going while he was reelected and he was a minister in the cabinet.
00:15:00.680 Percent of residents want this government to fight climate change.
00:15:04.680 We couldn't breathe the smoke in the air on September long weekend or May long weekend.
00:15:08.680 These guys want to let the planet burn.
00:15:10.680 We're going to defend the planet, put more money in the pockets of Albertans.
00:15:13.680 They can do what they want to do. We're going to defend Canadians and make sure there's a planet for our kids and our grandkids.
00:15:18.680 Oh, my goodness.
00:15:19.680 Well, if you had to find out where the cocaine was, that was allegedly being given out by one of the associates of their firm.
00:15:32.680 I'm not sure Randy might have it based on that clip.
00:15:35.680 Anyways, you know who it is. Number one, the worst MP in Canada, Justin Trudeau.
00:15:41.680 I am very shocked Mark Gerritsen did not make this list because he is almost consistently one of the worst MPs on any given day.
00:15:48.680 So that's my big disagreement on Bruce McGonigal here.
00:15:51.680 But he did a good job putting this list together.
00:15:53.680 So go give him a follow.
00:15:54.680 But he says, Justin Trudeau says Canadians don't want to be great.
00:15:58.680 Feel free to add your own least favorite MP in the comment section.
00:16:02.680 And I encourage you guys to do that in the comment section to this YouTube video.
00:16:06.680 Who do you think deserve to be on this list?
00:16:08.680 And what order would you have put them in if you want to do that?
00:16:11.680 Under the previous conservative government, everything was perfect.
00:16:15.680 And what he is proposing to do is to make Canada great again.
00:16:20.680 That is not what Canadians want.
00:16:23.680 He is pining for a nostalgia that, quite frankly, Canadians do not feel.
00:16:27.680 They remember what he did as part of Stephen Harper's failed housing minister.
00:16:32.680 He remembers the people who the rights of indigenous peoples violated the ignoring of environmental responsibilities and the lack of an environmental and economic plan for the future. 0.99
00:16:46.680 He's just so bad, honestly.
00:16:48.680 He used to be faster on his feet than this.
00:16:51.680 And now he's like somehow tripping over himself in a statement saying Canadians don't want Canada to be great again.
00:16:57.680 And it's like, dude, you know what you're saying?
00:17:00.680 I think that you're like making an anti-Trump jab.
00:17:03.680 But even those anti-Trump people are going to be like, dude, rephrase it.
00:17:06.680 Say it a different way.
00:17:07.680 But that's Justin Trudeau for you.
00:17:09.680 Again, I think Mark Gerritsen deserves to be on this list because that guy was absolutely awful all year, which he has been since he first got into politics.
00:17:18.680 But, you know, what can you do?
00:17:20.680 I didn't make the list.
00:17:21.680 Bruce did.
00:17:22.680 And he did a good job of it.
00:17:23.680 Anyways, but that should be it for me today, guys.
00:17:26.680 Just another reminder.
00:17:28.680 Make sure to subscribe to the channel.
00:17:29.680 Like this video.
00:17:30.680 Do all those other great things.
00:17:32.680 And I'll see you guys next time.
