Justin Trudeau's political prospects are currently barreling into the sun for the next election. He could try and fix a lot of the policy mistakes he's made in the past, and clean up the corruption in his government, but that's too difficult for him. So the one he seems to have settled on is bribery. He's going to try and bribe Canadians with their own money into trying to vote for him again. Spoiler alert: this is not going to work.
00:00:00.000So because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's political prospects are currently barreling into the sun for the next election, he's in desperate need of a new political strategy.
00:00:10.140He could try and fix a lot of the policy mistakes he's made in the past and clean up the corruption in his government, but that's too difficult for him.
00:00:17.120So the one he seemed to settled on is bribery.
00:00:20.720He is going to try and bribe Canadians with their own money into trying to vote for him again.
00:00:25.540Spoiler alert, this isn't actually going to work.
00:00:28.220At the very least, it's going to be a lot of fun to watch.
00:00:31.460So the Liberal Party has been releasing videos like this, where under the guise of just criticizing pure poly of the Conservatives program of austerity,
00:00:40.720the Liberals get to advertise to Canadians just how much money they're willing to throw at them, pretending like they're going to make your life better, and the Conservatives aren't.
00:00:49.800This is effectively, again, just trying to bribe Canadians with their own taxpayer money by basically stealing money from Canadians with excessive taxation,
00:00:58.220and then giving it back to people in these really bloated programs that nobody really ever accesses.
00:01:04.340And even if you do access it, it's not worth the money and the inflation.
00:01:08.560But here's Trudeau trying to fearmonger against the Conservatives while promoting all the money he's spending on you.
00:01:14.080Pierre Polyev has continued to promote austerity and cuts as the path forward for Canada and for Canadians.
00:01:23.280Before I let him keep going, isn't it kind of just odd how he seems to always be on the teetering edge of almost crying in every speech he does?
00:01:32.880I don't know why that says only acting style is sounding really, really emotionally concerned about something.
00:01:40.060As if the tears are about to come out now because I'm just so passionate about bloated government programs.
00:01:48.940He is wrong when he says that investing in dental care for 1.6 million seniors across this country, so far, is inflationary.
00:02:03.940He is wrong when he says that the price on pollution that is both fighting climate change and putting more money in people's pockets is responsible for inflation.
00:02:13.400He is wrong when he suggests that building more infrastructure for child care or accelerating the construction of homes across this country is inflationist.
00:02:24.000Indeed, experts and economists are almost unanimous on the fact that those kinds of investments are not inflationist.
00:02:32.400And we've seen inflation come down significantly.
00:02:37.400We need to continue to keep an eye on it.
00:02:39.400We need to continue to be responsible.
00:02:41.400But once again, Pierre Polyev is wrong, is not listening to experts and economists,
00:02:50.400economists, and he's willing to hurt the things that Canadians rely on to get through these difficult times to pursue his ideological plan to cut services to Canadians.
00:03:04.220Okay, is that making y'all want to vote for Justin Trudeau now?
00:03:08.100I hope not, because if you're watching the show, I hope you have a brain.
00:03:12.300But what Justin Trudeau, again, is doing there is just pimping out all of the new programs that he's spending on, which are 100% inflationary.
00:03:20.760And he didn't also mention the fact that all of them have already fallen on their face.
00:03:24.680Yes, technically his housing plan is new, but he's had three identical housing plans before.
00:03:29.980This is just an intensification of it, and those previous housing plans have actually slowed down the rate of new buildings being put up.
00:03:37.740And the dental care plan is a complete joke.
00:03:40.400Oh, he thinks it's inflationary to spend $1.6 billion on seniors' dental care.
00:03:45.780Well, you're not even – you're spending – it's like the most pure form of inflation I've ever seen.
00:03:50.760They're spending $1.6 billion on this plan, taking it out of the economy,
00:03:55.040and barely any dentists are signing up to this universal dental program because the way that they're going to somehow get you free dental care,
00:04:03.260which is just paid for by taxpayers, is trying to force dentists to take way less money than they usually would accept for their procedures.
00:04:12.460So, you know, dentists don't want to do that, so they haven't signed up.
00:04:15.840All of the other things – him mentioning the carbon tax rebate as if that's not already a debt issue.
00:04:20.540Even in the origin point province of the carbon tax, British Columbia, only 29% of people actually want to keep their provincial carbon tax.
00:04:29.180And federally, the numbers are even worse outside of Quebec, where for some reason the carbon tax is popular because it's a Quebec-based solution.
00:04:37.480But the idea that he's going to keep citing experts in the face of Canadians actually hurting is quite amazing.
00:04:44.580I think people have gotten really tired of the expert talk that I'm supposed to just be in favor of policies that are objectively hurting me on my own personal finance ledger at the end of the day
00:04:54.700because somebody from some university who doesn't live in the real world told me that the rebate's actually benefiting me,
00:05:01.720even though if you take into effect not just gasoline, heating costs, grocery costs, but also the costs on every other good in the economy,
00:05:08.940as well as the increased amount of bureaucracy in the federal government that taxpayers pay for on all this stuff,
00:05:14.760that nobody is making a single cent off of it.
00:05:17.580You can make any policy look good on paper if you mess with the numbers enough.
00:05:21.400When you actually have to live with the policies, that's when you see how well it works.
00:05:25.680Every terrible policy throughout human history has always had numerous experts saying that on paper,
00:05:32.020it should actually work by the end of the day.
00:05:33.620And as it continues to fail, those same experts just say, well, the plan wasn't done well enough or the plan wasn't big enough.
00:05:39.980And it always goes through that normal cycle.
00:05:43.020And again, he's like, fear mongering against pure poly of making cuts to these specific programs.
00:05:47.640I'm not sure what programs pure poly is going to cut.
00:05:50.280But the federal budget went up by 66% since 2015 after Harper left office.
00:05:55.180I don't think that all that that's necessary spending.
00:05:57.660But this is Justin Trudeau's new election plan that he is going to take money away from you or print new money,
00:06:04.260which is another way of taking money away from you and offer you these big dollar sign programs
00:06:10.100that are apparently being given to you that nobody can actually access and are not even benefiting anyone.
00:06:15.880And he's acting like this $6 billion infrastructure program is going to go away if you elect pure poly of
00:06:21.900as if Justin Trudeau is a magician and is just making this money appear as thin air backed by gold somewhere or whatever.
00:06:28.000So it's not hurting the economy and some inflationary, everything that the government does in inflationary.
