The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Trudeau Liberals push Fascist economic policy (Bill C-58)

In case you needed one more piece of evidence before concluding that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government are highly authoritarian, here comes Labor Minister Seamus O Regan with a borderline fascist labor policy trying to cram down state and trade unionist interests on private businesses by stating that they cannot hire replacement workers during union strikes. Yes, if you are a private business and you had unionized labor, you let a labor union take up your labor needs. They were the ones providing workers and they strike and you are now no longer allowed to hire different workers. And this is effectively the government and unions basically taking over your company. They always win strikes because you are not allowed to replace them so they can stay off work as long as they want and unless you are going to wait them out for six, seven, eight months in which you might go bankrupt before they do, you are pretty much forced to actually bend to their demands.

00:00:00.000 Just in case you needed one more piece of evidence before concluding that Prime Minister Justin

00:00:04.420 Trudeau and the Liberal government are highly authoritarian, here comes Labor Minister Seamus

00:00:09.420 O'Regan with a borderline fascist labor policy trying to cram down state and trade unionist

00:00:15.880 interests on private businesses by stating that they cannot hire replacement workers

00:00:20.800 during union strikes. Yes, if you are a private business and you had unionized labor, you let a

00:00:27.020 labor union take up your labor needs. They were the ones providing workers and they strike. You are

00:00:33.780 now no longer allowed to hire different workers and this is effectively the government and unions

00:00:39.780 basically taking over your company. They always win strikes because you are not allowed to replace

00:00:45.100 them so they can stay off work as long as they want and unless you're going to wait them out for

00:00:49.900 six, seven, eight months in which you might go bankrupt before they do, you are pretty much

00:00:54.040 forced to actually bend to their demands. Absolutely insane. And when I say this is a borderline

00:00:59.640 fascist policy, I mean that in the literal way, not the pejorative way. Fascism means trade unionism.

00:01:07.340 The Italians called their unions fascio just as the French called their unions syndicates,

00:01:12.800 which is why it's either called trade unionism or syndicalism. And what the government right now

00:01:17.940 is doing is increasing trade union power so that unions have far, far more say over how you run your

00:01:25.220 own company, which is how the fascist Italian economy was organized in the 20s and 30s, that

00:01:31.320 everything was dictated by government officials and trade union representatives to set targets,

00:01:37.040 labor quotas and all these other things for different sectors of the economy in different regions.

00:01:41.860 This is literally how the economy was run. I know fascist is just used as a term that means bad

00:01:46.660 by socialists who mostly agree with a lot of fascist policy. They just don't think that they do.

00:01:51.640 But this is what fascism actually is. It is trade unionism. It is government and trade union combined

00:01:57.480 power in order to get rid of private property and basically operate other people's businesses for

00:02:03.320 them. And if they resist, it just becomes a state corporation. Anyways, I want to read you some of the

00:02:08.840 text here from Seamus O'Regan's announcement that came out last year in November. I just frankly didn't

00:02:14.100 notice it up until now. And I noticed it because other journalists only started to notice what was

00:02:18.660 going on. So here we go. It says the government of Canada believes in free and fair collective

00:02:24.360 bargaining. Who's going to bet that that's basically proven wrong in line two or in the by paragraph two.

00:02:31.180 The use of replacement workers can distract from negotiations. It can prolong disputes and it can

00:02:36.580 damage labor relations for years to come. No, it actually doesn't prolong labor disputes. It actually

00:02:41.360 ends them once a labor union potentially gets too, you know, it gets too unreasonable with its demands

00:02:47.520 that if they are asking for a 30% increase in wages and you can't pay that, well, why should you have

00:02:53.640 to hire that trade union to provide your labor for you? You should be able to hire outside people if

00:02:58.260 you want. That is what a free market is all about. Anyways, to read on, it says today, Minister of

00:03:03.800 Labor, Seamus O'Regan Jr. introduced legislation which proposed to ban the use of replacement workers in

00:03:09.100 federally regulated workplaces during a strike or lockout. The legislation would also make important

00:03:14.280 changes to improving the maintenance of activity processes. Bill C-58 would ban employers from using

00:03:20.240 replacement workers to do the work of unionized employees who are on strike or locked out. An

00:03:25.280 exemption would apply in situations where there are threats to health and safety or threats of serious

00:03:30.600 property and environmental damage that could not be managed by the employer's existing workforce.

00:03:35.380 If a union believes the employer is using replacement workers in capacity beyond this exemption, the

00:03:40.860 resources would be to file a complaint with Canada Industrial Relations Board who would investigate

00:03:45.560 the issue. This is absolutely insane. This is basically just saying in any strike dispute in the private

00:03:52.520 sector, if this passes, the union just wins. The union just wins. They win because you can't actually

00:03:58.340 fight back. You have no ability to walk away from the table and say your terms are unreasonable and I'm going

00:04:04.320 to hire other workers. The whole promise of private sector unions, public sector unions have been a

00:04:09.500 disaster for years. But the whole idea of private sector unions, which have always been better over

00:04:14.060 time, was that it was going to be a small union or maybe even a large union of many workers who,

00:04:20.360 through their skill, would basically collectively bargain so that all four of them would get a good

00:04:24.440 deal from a private company. And a private company could be happy that even though they're paying for

00:04:28.440 higher wages, they get a set of 40 really good workers in the particular trade that the industry

00:04:33.920 is in. That's a fine deal. The union can negotiate and they have a lot of power to negotiate by saying

00:04:40.280 that all 40 of these workers will work for you if you sign this agreement. If not, we will go

00:04:44.080 somewhere else. This is basically saying that if you've ever signed an agreement or if your industry

00:04:48.920 is required to use some unionized labor, you can now never actually win a dispute because you can never

00:04:54.300 hire non-union workers to replace them. That is absolutely nuts. That is basically the government

00:04:59.860 worming their way into private business and then basically just acting like the neutral moderator,

00:05:04.960 just saying, well, we need to get this contract negotiation done. Also, you basically have to say

00:05:10.020 yes. That is the government and trade unions combining their interest in order to cram down on

00:05:15.060 private businesses and run private businesses the way that they want. The government through this could

00:05:19.800 easily increase private sector union wages by incentivizing these strikes and then also come

00:05:26.200 through and through partnerships with trade unions, push any of their other government mandates onto

00:05:30.840 businesses by including that in trade union contract negotiations. This is absolutely insane.

00:05:37.340 This is not actually, this is no longer free market if this passes, if you have unionized labor,

00:05:42.460 this is fascist economics. It is trade unionist economics. Each sector is basically going to be run by the

00:05:49.180 government and trade unions that occupy them. And private business owners pretty much just get to

00:05:53.920 select the color of the product. That's pretty much it. Not like, and this is why I think that

00:05:59.960 previously in previous years, the liberal government has been a big bloated corporate government.

00:06:05.660 It has played to a lot of interests of specific groups. It has, you know, passed a lot of regulations

00:06:11.080 to do so, you know, increase taxes so that they can, you know, redistribute wealth to benefit certain

00:06:16.180 groups that they're looking for votes from and whatnot. But this is just flat out saying that,

00:06:19.960 yeah, you know, if you're a private business owner, you lose. The trade union that you have

00:06:24.480 gotten labor from, they now basically own most of your business in through proxy, through proxy of

00:06:30.080 being your mandated labor provider. They now get to choose whether the factory functions or not,

00:06:36.440 whether your private business functions or not, whether you're in heavy industry or you're in the

00:06:40.580 service industry, your employees can now just shut you down. And if you have any limited amount of

00:06:46.820 non-union labor, well, they're not allowed to exactly fill in those gaps because they're not

00:06:50.740 allowed to be, those union jobs cannot be replaced by even pre-existing non-union labor. So even if you

00:06:56.180 had a manager who wasn't a union labor, it wasn't part of a union, they can't take over that union position

00:07:02.020 because that would be now a replacement worker. Nuts, nuts. This is what actual fascism is.

00:07:09.420 Trade unionism. It's not just general authoritarianism. It's not right-wing, you know, authoritarianism.

00:07:15.740 Fascism is a left-wing ideology. Fascism, national socialism, Soviet-style communism, Maoism, they're all

00:07:23.420 socialist totalitarian ideologies because it is the government taking control over every aspect of

00:07:30.080 your life. That's always the ridiculous thing whenever people claim, you know, the Nazis and

00:07:34.720 Italian fascists, they were far-right capitalists. I'm like, how can you be a capitalist if you 1.00

00:07:40.240 literally are a totalitarian who controls all aspects of life? That doesn't make any sense.

00:07:44.980 You're not a totalitarian if you do not control the economy, which the Nazis and fascists fully did 0.64

00:07:50.400 in Germany, which national socialists and fascists are still a little bit different from each other.

00:07:55.040 But in Germany, they would set prices for things. You would have to get permission from the

00:07:58.480 government to buy certain quantities of materials to make products. Those products would be price

00:08:03.740 fixed. You had to use a certain set amount of labor to create those products. It was not a

00:08:08.720 capitalist economy. But there's this stupid lie that goes around there that any ideology that 0.99

00:08:13.380 obviously makes the left look bad becomes right-wing. So tons of things are just suddenly right-wing 0.98

00:08:18.880 because it made socialism look bad. Funnily enough, the nutcases will still claim Soviet-style

00:08:24.180 socialism as a left-wing ideology because they still like that. But they'll still then claim if

00:08:29.380 you actually push them hard enough, well, Stalin was actually secretly right-wing because everything

00:08:33.420 that's not good on the left is now right, even though the right always implies less government

00:08:38.340 control, smaller C kind of conservatism, not literal authoritarian cramdowns on the public or private

00:08:45.240 business. One of the first things the Nazis did when they took over in 1933 when they were elected, 0.54

00:08:50.780 you know, because, you know, not all authoritarianism comes through through revolution. Sometimes it

00:08:55.620 literally comes through through elections, although then they banned elections. One of the first things

00:08:59.900 that they did was banned private property. They removed private property as a guaranteed right.

00:09:04.920 Basically, you only were you will only entitled to your property if it was using what being used for

00:09:10.680 the pleasure of the state, which means that you don't own your property because if you were not using

00:09:14.500 it for specific state interests, then you didn't get it. Even in the Soviet Union, you could own

00:09:19.400 certain things. But as soon as it became a commodity that was not benefiting the state,

00:09:23.860 it became the states. Anyways, super annoying. The liberals are absolutely crazy and authoritarian.

00:09:30.800 And I just want to quickly mention I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary Signal Hill 0.96

00:09:34.840 Conservative Party nomination. If you live in this riding, check out my website in the description below,

00:09:39.620 WyattClaypool.com. I'll just quickly show the riding map on the screen. And then also I have in the

00:09:45.000 description below. Also my legal fund for myself and the National Telegraph. We have this ridiculous

00:09:49.600 defamation suit coming from some rich developer who can't actually prove any defamation, but is just

00:09:54.700 hoping to grind us down through legal costs. Never even submitted any evidence that we defamed him.

00:09:59.460 Our guest writer who mentioned him in an article about Aaron O'Toole, based on the entire section

00:10:04.800 about him off of a Globe and Mail report that was deeply fact-checked and is still up online today

00:10:09.720 because it was good reporting. And we based our entire report, the section about this guy,

00:10:14.800 on that Globe and Mail report and other resources. And somehow we'd get sued even though, one,

00:10:19.620 we're accurate. And two, we weren't even the first people to even make these actual substantive

00:10:24.360 evidence claims. Anyways, that should be it for me today, finally. This video was kind of something

00:10:30.540 that was eventually going to come anyways. I hate the stupid left-wing propaganda point that, 1.00

00:10:37.060 well, the National Socialists just put socialism in their title because they were actually trying 1.00

00:10:41.340 to trick voters into voting for them. No, no, they were actual socialists. There's a reason why

00:10:46.460 Nazi economic influencers wrote books like Das Endes, Das Kapitalismus. It's because they hate

00:10:52.180 capitalism, because they're anti-Semitic and they believe capitalism and Marxist socialism were Jewish.

00:10:57.500 That's why they came up with their own version of socialism, National Socialism. Don't buy these

00:11:02.600 stupid left-wing lies that fascism and Nazism are right-wing. They aren't. I'm a, I'm on a conservative. 1.00

00:11:09.380 I am on the right because I am anti-Nazi and anti-communist. I am anti-state control of the economy,

00:11:15.560 state control of social life, private life, all this stuff. That is what makes me a capitalist

00:11:20.020 conservative. And I think you should be too, and I guarantee most of you are. Anyways, that should be

00:11:25.260 it for me today, finally. See you guys later.
