Summary

Justin Trudeau went to Ontario and attacked an opposition leader's plan to bring manufacturing jobs back to Canada. Conservative media was quick to point out that the Prime Minister was doing a good job portraying Pierre Polyev as a radical, uncaring, loose-cannon politician. But in reality, the real issue is that the real problem is not that Polyev is anti-union, it's that he wants to make manufacturing in Canada a priority again.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 One of the interesting things to witness in Canadian politics these days is although Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals keep trying to attack Pierre Polyev as uncaring and radical, you know, a loose cannon in press conferences, you can see Justin Trudeau constantly trying to emulate him.
00:00:17.700 And Pierre Polyev is not actually radical or a loose cannon or anything like that. That's just simply what the Liberals are trying to paint him as.
00:00:25.660 Whenever Justin Trudeau tries to do an impression of Pierre Polyev as a strong figure who's taking control of press events and attacking his opponents with alacrity, Trudeau just comes off as kind of unhinged and like he's having a freakout.
00:00:39.860 And that's exactly what happened when he went to some factory in Ontario and started attacking Polyev's plan to bring manufacturing jobs back to Canada.
00:00:49.980 And after I go through this clip, I also just want to show another clip that the Liberal Party posted itself because it kind of demonstrates the duality of politics.
00:00:59.080 This clip we're about to look at was clipped by True North, a conservative news publication.
00:01:04.980 You guys should follow them on social media. They do good work, even though Andrew Lawton is now going to go run for the conservatives.
00:01:10.380 They still have good people there. So, yeah, go follow True North if you can. I'm not affiliated, obviously.
00:01:15.300 But the this clip is from True North. But later, the Liberals posted effectively the same clip.
00:01:21.740 So the Liberals thought this was great. At the same time, conservative media is just pointing and laughing at him for not being able to emotionally control himself over a question about manufacturing policy.
00:01:32.560 Last week, Steele and Alunidum CEOs and opposition leader Pierre Polyev called for the federal government to match the U.S.'s tariffs on China.
00:01:40.740 Why has Canada not moved on this yet?
00:01:42.280 Well, first of all, it's a bit of a joke that Polyev is suddenly talking about workers in the auto industry.
00:01:51.520 He has said repeatedly that he wouldn't be making these investments in our auto industry.
00:01:56.800 He wouldn't have invested. He'd be cutting our investments in EVs.
00:02:00.280 And so for the context, and that's a great freeze frame on Justin Trudeau's face right there.
00:02:07.840 I should take a screenshot of that, frankly.
00:02:10.000 The context is that Trudeau is going after Polyev for opposing EV and battery subsidies in Ontario.
00:02:17.660 But Pure Polyev wants tariffs on Chinese manufactured goods, which I'm totally okay with.
00:02:24.460 I don't like green energy subsidies.
00:02:26.700 It's subsidizing things that most people in the market do not want to buy.
00:02:30.800 But tariffing China is a perfectly good national security move to make.
00:02:36.120 I like free trade, but I'm also fine with tariffs in cases of countries that hate Canadian Valleys and the West in order to not basically fund their growth.
00:02:46.960 We should have tariffs against North Korea.
00:02:49.080 We already do.
00:02:50.780 You know, tariffs against Iran are great.
00:02:52.920 Tariffs against Syria.
00:02:53.820 Tariffs against any other country that hates Canada or the West, perfectly okay with me because I don't want them being part of the family of free trading Western countries that actually care about democracy and oppose communism.
00:03:10.220 And so that's what is really animating Justin Trudeau here in a very severe way.
00:03:15.460 Doug Ford is here because Doug Ford is not a conservative and he keeps backing Justin Trudeau on every stupid big government subsidy project that he undertakes because Doug Ford is not a conservative.
00:03:28.080 Doug Ford is just a bloated big government politician.
00:03:30.980 In building an extraordinary EV supply chain in Canada, something that we've been doing as a government in partnership with the government of Ontario and others right across the country over the past four years.
00:03:44.180 In a deliberate strategy, bring in Volkswagen, bring in Stellantis, invest in Honda, invest in the EV supply chain from mines to manufacturing and recycling.
00:03:56.020 We have been there every step of the way and the federal conservatives continue to say they'd cut it all.
00:04:03.040 Yes, because it's subsidized.
00:04:04.240 It's not saying let's tariff a country who tries to interfere in our elections and is effectively just inflating their currency to be able to sell cheaper goods into Canada to artificially inflate their manufacturing sector.
00:04:17.680 That's not a real country to have good trade relationships with.
00:04:22.400 But Justin Trudeau then trying to contrast that by saying, well, why do they keep opposing our EV subsidies?
00:04:28.020 Because they're subsidies.
00:04:28.900 Because it's not a product somebody wants.
00:04:31.640 A tariff is going to be less destructive for industry than a subsidy because subsidies are making investors in Canada invest in the wrong things by basically having the government back it.
00:04:42.780 I'd rather the tariff exist, lower our own taxes, lower our own regulations to also make it organically easier to manufacture in Canada rather than the government keeping regulations and taxes high, not keeping tariffs off of China, and then subsidizing products in Canada that nobody wants.
00:05:03.660 When the Chinese then get to keep manufacturing non-electric, non-electric, non-EV products, and then selling them back into Canada because we, for some reason, don't want to manufacture those ourselves.
00:05:15.540 They don't support it.
00:05:17.240 They don't believe in investing in Canadian workers.
00:05:21.060 So him to suddenly turn around and say, oh, we're worried about EVs, that's baloney.
00:05:26.300 He's looking for a political angle because that's all he does.
00:05:29.160 But in regards to the CEOs and steel manufacturers and partners in the industry, I can tell you, for the past many months, we, alongside Minister Mary Ying, our Minister of Trade, have been working with stakeholders, working with community.
00:05:47.220 He's really going for the Oscar on this one.
00:05:49.260 I haven't really noted the performance yet, but this has just been cartoony so far.
00:05:54.500 Like, again, he's trying to do more of, like, because this is actually what Paulio's very good at.
00:05:58.500 He's very good at, he's a little bit more, in a certain sense, monotone when he talks on policy.
00:06:03.960 But if he gets animated about the way that the liberals are, you know, hurting the economy or anti-democratic things they're doing or the corruption of the current government, he can get animated.
00:06:14.120 But in a way where he still looks professional, Justin Trudeau, when he gets animated, just, again, seems like a cartoon character, jumping around and, like, moving his arms and, like, that's the baloney, blah, blah, blah, and, like, not being able to keep himself looking like an adult for a second here.
00:06:30.500 ...community groups, working with international partners on making sure that Canada's EV advantage remains.
00:06:39.940 Canadians have invested in this future, and we're going to make sure that we follow through on it.
00:06:46.160 Dude, Doug Ford looks like he wants to kill himself. I just got to say that.
00:06:49.700 So, Paulio jumping in front of the parade or trying to is just silly.
00:06:53.600 We have stood up for Canadian workers in the auto sector. We will continue to stand up for Canadian workers in the auto sector.
00:07:02.700 We will continue to make sure that we're using all necessary tools to drive a greener, cleaner economy, which means great manufacturing jobs here in Canada, more opportunities for Canadians.
00:07:15.280 This is a conversation that we've been having for months, and we will continue to have to make sure these investments we are making, that Paulio would cut, are well-protected for the future.
00:07:26.620 That was just so weird. He's just so weird. I'm not trying to use the word weird just because that's now going around the left, but it's just such a weird press conference.
00:07:35.280 It's just can't compose himself. Composure is a great thing to maintain as a politician.
00:07:41.000 That's why political activists don't usually do well in politics, because activists tend to be very hyper-emotional on how they talk about issues.
00:07:48.840 And Trudeau is either comatose, or he's like that, like someone gave him a shot at something, and he's just like super animated about the topic.
00:07:57.380 And he's just lying.
00:07:59.420 Our manufacturing has been contracting over the past few quarters.
00:08:03.460 While Justin Trudeau tries to ballyhoo the fact that, wow, we had job growth in the first quarter of 2024, it's all on the back of public sector jobs, of just fake jobs, effectively.
00:08:15.960 I'm sorry, it's fake jobs. It is taxpayer-funded, you know, ditch digging and refilling in those ditches.
00:08:22.960 It's not real jobs. Manufacturing has been going down because it's not affordable to manufacture products that you can actually sell for a profit in Canada.
00:08:31.900 But now I just want to quickly jump over to what the liberals shared, because the liberals literally shared this clip thinking that this was a great, this wasn't actually from the clip, I believe, but this is from another part of the event he did, that this was like supposed to be really great content that Justin Trudeau was generating that day on manufacturing.
00:08:53.260 And again, not knowing that all this just looks very desperate and strange.
00:08:57.720 Pierre Polyev has been clear. He will cut these investments in Canada's future and cut jobs for Canadian workers because he won't invest in workers and in the future.
00:09:11.260 See, every government, every leader has choices.
00:09:15.280 We've chosen to invest in Canadians, invest in workers, invest in our future.
00:09:20.400 Polyev has chosen to write off Canada's auto sector, to let good middle-class jobs disappear, and to let down Canadian workers.
00:09:30.520 Our government will never let that happen.
00:09:33.520 You think the carbon tax being in place would be a pretty good testament to the fact that the liberals don't actually support the auto sector?
00:09:41.340 They're replacing the auto sector with the EV sector.
00:09:44.460 And you could say, well, those are still automobiles, sort of, at the same time, it's subsidized.
00:09:49.420 It's fake. It's fake jobs.
00:09:51.360 The only jobs Justin Trudeau knows how to create are fake ones.
00:09:55.060 And even there, he's like manic.
00:09:57.240 Justin Trudeau does not know how to actually compose himself in this era of Canadian politics.
00:10:01.960 He wants to be the energetic, tough guy, but it just comes off very weak and kind of, you know, unkempt whenever he does it.
00:10:10.220 And Polyev is very good at sort of maintaining that strength, even when a reporter's coming after him, being able to maintain his composure and take control of the situation.
00:10:19.860 Trudeau does not know how to take control when he's trying to make a statement or, you know, make a powerful, take a powerful stance on something, because he just comes off like a weakling.
00:10:28.160 Because he is a weak person overall.
00:10:30.120 He relies on the mainstream media to do his work for him.
00:10:33.440 And now that the conservatives are 20 points up in the polls, and the mainstream media has, like, nothing to do for him now, like, they don't have the skills to pull Polyev down.
00:10:44.300 Now Justin Trudeau is trying to finally come out of hiding and take back sort of, like, I guess, the political momentum with no ability to actually do that.
00:10:53.760 He used to be actually good at this.
00:10:55.500 Back in 2015, 2016, he used to be far better at doing press events, at connecting with people.
00:11:02.380 But since he stopped doing those town halls early into his time as prime minister, his communication skills have gotten so rusty.
00:11:09.900 So he almost just comes off like a caricature of himself, of being the energetic, you know, a sunny ways guy.
00:11:17.220 Well, Pierre Polyev doesn't believe in Canada.
00:11:19.120 I believe in Canada.
00:11:21.080 I'm sure you do, man.
00:11:21.920 It's been nine years.
00:11:22.720 You really can't do this act anymore.
00:11:24.120 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:11:27.460 I'll be back later with another video.

00:11:37.720 We have a Chinese billionaire suing us for defamation that in over two and a half years he hasn't even been able to come up with a shred of evidence to prove that we defamed him,
00:11:46.960 or he even suffered any damages by one of our guest writers briefly mentioning him in an article in which they literally cited a big, long Globe and Mail investigation about the guy.
00:11:56.740 We basically said nothing new about him, but he was too scared to sue the Globe and Mail, so he decided to sue me, who was 22 years old at the time.
00:12:04.120 And I have been fighting him ever since December of 2021 because we don't back down.
00:12:09.420 It's cost us $32,000 so far, but if you apologize to a bully, they're just going to come back for more in the future when you did nothing wrong in the first place.
00:12:20.060 Anyways, see you guys all later.
