Summary
Two by-elections are taking place today, one in Manitoba and one in Montreal, Canada, and it's a doosey day in Canadian politics. I talk about how much Canadian politics has changed since the 1970s and 1980s, and why the Liberals are doing exactly what they do.
Transcript
00:00:00.260
Welcome back to the Wyatt Claypool Show, everyone.
00:00:03.960
I haven't made one of these in a while because, frankly, whenever Canada's Parliament is out of session,
00:00:09.380
Canadian politics get very boring and sluggish.
00:00:12.660
But today, we actually have a lot to talk about.
00:00:16.160
Parliament is back in session, and the Conservatives and Liberals are really going at each other hard.
00:00:21.320
I don't want to talk too much about Question Period because, frankly, you kind of know what happened.
00:00:26.220
Pierre Polyev goes after Justin Trudeau for being stupid and incompetent.
00:00:30.260
Justin Trudeau said something snide, and the world keeps spinning on.
00:00:34.420
But we actually have a lot of other clips of Liberals I want to talk about there
00:00:38.420
because they are doubling down on their strategy of being deeply condescending to Canadians
00:00:43.800
when Canadians have concerns with how they're governing.
00:00:50.120
one in Elmwood-Transcona in Manitoba, and one in the riding of La Salamard-Verdun in Montreal.
00:01:00.960
It really tells you how much Canadian politics have changed that these two ridings are currently up for grabs
00:01:06.600
by a party that wasn't the original party holding it.
00:01:10.540
Elmwood-Transcona has been won by the Conservatives before,
00:01:13.900
and they are one of the competitive parties in today's by-election up against the NDP.
00:01:18.320
But this should be, in theory, a safe NDP riding.
00:01:24.160
The NDP have not actually really fallen or risen in the polls much since last election.
00:01:32.500
But in this by-election, it's a tough battle between the federal Conservatives and the NDP
00:01:37.960
because the NDP have become very much a kind of, I guess you would say, college-town, progressive type of a party.
00:01:46.780
And so these old labor ridings are going more for the Conservatives these days
00:01:52.120
because, frankly, the Conservatives don't attack workers.
00:01:56.680
Yes, the NDP is supposedly a very pro-worker party,
00:02:00.480
but they mean that in the old-school, trade-unionist way that you would kind of use in the 70s.
00:02:09.080
They're not actually trying to make the economy better for workers.
00:02:14.840
But that doesn't really make things better anymore.
00:02:17.480
More regulations, more labor laws is not the solution to the crappy economy that we're currently in.
00:02:24.660
If anything, it's actually one of the big problems in the economy
00:02:27.480
is way too much over-regulation on the labor side of things.
00:02:31.900
So the Conservatives look set up to either win that riding
00:02:35.440
or significantly tighten up since the last election.
00:02:39.260
This is a riding that the NDP would usually win with like 48% of the vote,
00:02:43.180
and the Conservatives would come in around, you know, 25%, 28%,
00:02:50.680
I honestly don't care as much about that by-election result.
00:02:54.420
The one I really care about is this one happening in Montreal
00:03:01.800
You know, even more than Calgary is with the Calgary Flames,
00:03:05.000
Montreal is the true city of red because they vote liberal every single election,
00:03:12.800
The last election that it didn't go basically 100% red was 2011
00:03:17.720
with Michael Ignatius' absolutely limp and flabby campaign against Stephen Harper.
00:03:26.600
They just basically threw a couple of seats towards the NDP.
00:03:30.540
But it's not really because the, you know, it's not because Montreal rejected the liberals.
00:03:35.700
It's more so that they just didn't like the leader.
00:03:38.180
Right now, everyone doesn't just dislike Justin Trudeau.
00:03:44.420
Because Justin Trudeau, if anything, was Montreal's boy.
00:03:50.880
He made the party absolutely dominant in that city in 2015, 2019, and 2021.
00:04:07.780
Montrealers haven't gotten that cool in the last year.
00:04:11.320
But at least they will potentially throw out a liberal riding towards, like, another party.
00:04:18.480
This riding, again, just like Elmwood Transcona, would usually go 45% towards the liberals,
00:04:24.700
43% with the bloc usually coming in second with 20% of the vote, 21% of the vote.
00:04:30.400
Not an overwhelming victory like some rural conservative ridings
00:04:33.940
where you have people like Arnold Vearson winning 83% of the vote.
00:04:37.760
And then the second place parties like the PPC with 13%.
00:04:45.020
And now they could fumble it all and have the bloc or the NDP beat them.
00:04:48.820
There's three parties who are competitive in this by-election.
00:04:52.980
Jagmeet Singh seems to be on, like, it seems to be dedicated to try and fumble it.
00:04:58.360
The man, every once in a while, will do something approximating a good move,
00:05:03.300
and then will it immediately take it back through the sloppiest rollout you've ever seen?
00:05:08.300
So Jagmeet Singh, as we all know, has now ripped up the supply and confidence agreement
00:05:12.840
between his party and Justin Trudeau's liberals.
00:05:15.960
And now he's also ostensibly against the carbon tax, at least on consumers.
00:05:22.260
But in this by-election, when he should be, in theory, I'm a conservative.
00:05:27.260
But if I want him to fail all day, but in theory, if you are an NDP leader running against a very
00:05:33.980
unpopular liberal leader, you think you would be trying to tack to the middle a little bit,
00:05:41.700
Come off like the new party for center-left, middle-class people who are struggling.
00:05:47.800
Instead, Jagmeet Singh is running a candidate who doesn't even have, I believe, the Canadian flag
00:05:58.440
He has every other flag but the Canadian flag, and his campaign literature literally features
00:06:04.420
the Palestinian flag behind him in the background.
00:06:07.740
No Canadian flag in sight, because the NDP, as I was saying regarding their problems
00:06:13.580
in Elmwood Transcona, are no longer, you know, like a labor rights party or a party for blue-collar
00:06:20.380
They are a party for obnoxious urban progressives, for people who are living in college towns
00:06:27.680
and people who are out-of-touch, granola-type socialist voters.
00:06:33.860
And so I think the NDP can still clinch that by-election.
00:06:38.640
I think it would be better if the Bloc won it for Canada, because the Bloc really just takes
0.95
00:06:45.620
I don't mind if the Quebecers vote for the BQ doesn't really affect me too much, and they're
00:06:51.120
less crazy than both the Liberals and the NDP, even though they compete to be as obnoxious
00:06:59.460
So that will be interesting to talk about tomorrow, regardless if the Liberals are able to hold
00:07:07.160
It's still pathetic that it's even going to be as tight as it is.
00:07:10.400
I hope they lose, and I hope Justin Trudeau resigns.
00:07:13.300
I know there's a lot of conservatives out there who want Justin Trudeau to stick around
00:07:16.760
because it'd be cathartic to beat him in 2025, but I want to re-mainstream the idea that when
00:07:23.360
you suck as a leader, especially if you're the Prime Minister, and you've been sucking
00:07:27.980
for almost nine years or eight years straight, you should leave.
00:07:31.940
We need to normalize people leaving who are bad at their jobs.
00:07:36.120
But now I want to jump into what's happening right now on Parliament Hill between the Conservatives
00:07:43.180
I'm not going to talk about too many clips from question period because, frankly, you
00:07:50.180
You know, Pierre Polyev is going to stand up and say that Justin Trudeau is incompetent
00:07:55.160
Justin Trudeau is going to stand back up and answer him by being super snarky and not really
00:07:59.920
And it's just going to keep going back and forth.
00:08:05.520
And I thank Kat Canada from the Countersignal for clipping it.
00:08:12.780
She has a really good X account, has good content.
00:08:15.680
Justin Trudeau here talking about why climate change should be the biggest issue in this next
00:08:21.940
And really, he's doing kids a favor by bankrupting them early in their lives because, you know,
00:08:26.940
climate change would be so much worse even if he doesn't do what he's doing, even though
00:08:31.140
the carbon tax doesn't actually help anyone, doesn't reduce the temperature of the planet.
00:08:40.960
And what would cost the most money to Canadians at all is his do-nothing climate plan.
00:08:47.820
When the Toronto subway gets flooded, it costs money.
00:08:52.820
When forest fires hit communities across this country, it costs Canadians money to rebuild.
00:08:58.800
When you have droughts that hit farmers and agricultures across this country, it costs money.
00:09:04.820
What doesn't cost money is putting money in eight out of ten of Canadians' pockets with
00:09:11.160
the Canada Carbon Rebate to support their families and fight climate change.
00:09:15.700
Before I get to Mr. Polly's response to this, I always love the fact that Justin Trudeau is
00:09:22.960
in such a bad political position right now in order to defend his carbon tax because he
00:09:28.520
has two different bases within his party that want two different things.
00:09:32.000
He has the hyper-environmentalist group who doesn't actually care about the economic well-being of
00:09:37.920
most Canadians, and they just want oil and gas crushed.
00:09:42.000
And so he's arguing that we can avoid subways flooding and natural disasters if you pay a bunch
00:09:48.160
of money to the government because somehow the climate cares about what the government taxes
00:09:55.420
So that's going to somehow stop all these environmental disasters from happening.
00:09:59.520
And then he switches and says, also, eight out of ten Canadians are benefiting from it.
00:10:03.940
So how are you incentivizing people to use less carbon, to emit less, if they're just getting
00:10:11.840
It's a completely nonsensical position that he's holding, that he's both incentivizing people
00:10:18.600
to use less carbon, to burn less oil and gas products.
00:10:27.020
They're actually not being benefited at all, but at least from the rhetorical position that
00:10:31.920
Justin Trudeau's in, his own position doesn't even make sense.
00:10:41.460
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister just proved my point.
00:10:45.460
His tax doesn't stop floods, fires, or droughts.
00:10:51.860
This also from a high-flying, high-taxing, high-carbon hypocrite who flew 92,000 kilometres
00:11:01.240
in a fuel-guzzling, tax-funded private jet while he taxes single moms and seniors for
00:11:08.860
Now, Carbon Tax Carney wants him to put the tax back on home heating oil.
00:11:14.520
Will he reject Carbon Tax Carney and instead allow Canadians to choose to tax the tax?
00:11:22.080
And good response, and this is why I'm not really going to play many clips from Question
00:11:31.180
Justin Trudeau's getting absolutely battered, and he's just being a snarky jerk in response.
00:11:37.540
But I do want to jump over to another liberal saying something outside of Question Period,
00:11:43.320
and that is one of our favorite liberal MPs, Karina Gould, who, yes, she indeed did post
00:11:51.760
And this is basically the theme of this episode of the Why Claypool Show.
00:11:57.320
The liberals are proving that they're incapable of change.
00:12:01.100
They're going to keep being condescending until Canadians send them packing in 2025.
00:12:07.000
They are incapable of being able to actually see eye-to-eye with their fellow man.
00:12:12.880
If you do not already agree with the liberals, the liberals are just going to school-marm you
00:12:18.340
like this and pretend you're stupid and hope that you basically just go away and, I guess,
00:12:26.900
It's obnoxious, and this is what Karina Gould has always been about.
0.70
00:12:31.120
I think you've seen clips of her in the past trying to talk down to the conservatives like
00:12:37.240
It doesn't work because people actually like the conservatives.
00:12:41.040
So when Karina Gould keeps doing that, like she's about to do here, she's condescending
1.00
00:12:45.960
to Canadians who vote conservative, which is about 50% of the country at this point.
00:12:50.040
What I heard yesterday from Mr. Polyev was so over-the-top, so irresponsible, so immature,
00:13:01.760
When he is focused on having an election on the carbon price, what he's trying to do is
00:13:10.480
By the way, I thought it was now called the carbon rebate.
00:13:12.800
But, you know, Karina Gould is getting, letting the cat out of the bag once again and referring
00:13:18.620
to it as the old thing, as a price on pollution, a carbon price.
00:13:23.640
When he talks about the fact that, you know, he cares about how Canadians are feeling in difficult
00:13:31.480
He actually, in fact, does care about those things.
00:13:36.380
When it comes to our seniors, the only thing that we've heard is that he wants to raise the
00:13:39.940
age of retirement, cut pensions, and remove their access to dental care.
00:13:44.700
When it comes to families who are struggling, what are his plans?
00:13:48.420
Get rid of affordable childcare and scrap the school food program.
00:13:52.600
When it comes to making sure that Canadians have access to good quality information in a
00:13:58.480
time of incredible disinformation, what does he propose to do?
00:14:05.840
Why does he think that this is going to play well?
00:14:11.660
And you can poll people, say, do you think that the CBC, does the CBC make you feel patriotic
00:14:17.800
And a polling firm will get back that like 72% of people say they like the CBC or yes, it's
00:14:26.300
Because some people remember them back in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s when they used to
00:14:41.280
And it's like 100,000 people might watch them in a night.
00:14:45.900
That's overall viewership in a night is like 100,000 people.
00:14:49.600
In a country of 42 million people, nobody watches these people.
00:14:55.720
And the thing is that what she's doing throughout this entire clip is just listing bloated liberal
0.99
00:15:01.060
programs that haven't made people's lives better.
00:15:05.760
You guys have more spending, more social security spending, more social assistance spending than
00:15:14.600
And people are worse off than they've been in decades.
00:15:18.760
Can you answer why your programs haven't accelerated us towards the sky in terms of our prosperity?
00:15:24.640
Well, the conservatives are going to cut dental care and the food program.
0.88
00:15:34.460
And then they might be able to afford all those things themselves.
00:15:36.720
Notice how when Stephen Harper was the prime minister, we didn't have problems affording
00:15:41.580
groceries and rent and people being able to go get their own dental care.
00:15:45.200
It was very affordable because people's dollars went further.
00:15:49.680
It doesn't matter if you throw money at people, if the dollar stopped being worth anything.
00:15:54.680
I think I saw the other day, it was like getting just a cheeseburger from McDonald's is now
00:16:01.740
I think it wasn't that like an item back in the Harper days that was literally a dollar.
00:16:06.320
You know, I'm not, I'm no lawyer here, but I'm pretty sure that $3.99 is more than like
00:16:12.480
$1.50 or $2 or whatever it was less than a decade ago.
00:16:17.100
But whatever, I'm not going to get too political on this issue.
00:16:20.740
And the thing is that, again, this is just condescending.
00:16:24.120
Her acting like she's directing her comments at pure Polyev and showing Canadians how much
0.93
00:16:29.520
of a fraudster he is, the exact word she used, just makes it sound like she's insulting
00:16:34.480
Canadians who actually believe Polyev has a plan because he does have a plan.
00:16:38.660
Reducing government spending, reducing taxes, reducing regulations, all this stuff is actually
00:16:44.380
a plan, but you get a lot of wonky policy people saying, ooh, pure Polyev hasn't released
00:16:50.140
his 80 page dissertation on what he thinks Canada needs to do to get back in the black.
00:16:58.760
Like, no, he has a vision and it's a broad vision.
00:17:01.940
It's vague at times, but it's because really nobody should be speaking about the specific
00:17:07.400
policy points that need to be implemented until they're actually in government and can see
00:17:12.860
all the problems. Aaron O'Toole released like a hundred page plan on what his platform was
00:17:18.380
in the 21 election. And guess what? Nobody but Andrew Coyne cared because people don't care
00:17:24.240
about how detailed your plan is. They care about whether it's going to work or not.
00:17:28.160
The liberals have detailed policy plans and proposals they put out all the time.
00:17:32.880
And people are worse off than ever. But I'll let Karina Gould finish here.
0.87
00:17:36.460
And all of you as journalists have experienced firsthand how he treats people who try to ask
00:17:43.160
him tough questions. You mean bad questions? He asks them follow-ups to substantiate their points
00:17:49.620
like, you're a conspiracy theorist. And some people say you're dog whistling to the far right. And he
00:17:54.140
says, who said that? How did I have done that? And they can't answer back. It's not bullying to ask
00:18:00.420
somebody accusing you of being a bad person, what they mean by their baseless questions.
00:18:05.680
Who try to have him face the scrutiny of what he puts to forward. And how does he react?
00:18:12.200
As a bully. As someone who will not stand to scrutiny, who will not respond respectfully,
00:18:20.400
not just to you as journalists, but on the questions you're asking on behalf of Canadians.
00:18:25.020
Because your job is to get that information to Canadians. And there's a reason why he doesn't
0.98
00:18:31.180
want Canadians to know what his true agenda is. And it's because he knows that they won't like it
00:18:37.120
if they find out. And so what we are here to do...
00:18:40.680
Polly has advertising all over the place with links to go to the Conservative Party website and read
00:18:47.320
the general points that they want, like the general platform points that they want to implement.
00:18:51.360
Like, what is she talking about? And her comment about, he's a bully. You're a bully. She actually
00:18:57.040
is a bully. She's actually, her, like many of her allies in the media, bully anybody who disagrees
00:19:04.300
with them. They imply you're a bad person. They accuse you of being a far right. It's in fact
00:19:08.820
bullying to accuse somebody who's not bullying people of being a bully.
00:19:13.920
Today, as liberals in this house going to do, and what we're going to be doing moving forward,
00:19:18.900
is to make sure that we stand up every single day for Canadians. That we push back on his bullying
00:19:25.160
tactics. That we push back on his irresponsible and immature antics in this place. We have an
00:19:31.640
important role to do as parliamentarians. And that is to work hard for Canadians.
00:19:37.000
We have an important job. That important job is to work hard. She almost sounds like Kamala Harris here.
0.99
00:19:44.840
We know our task. And we know that Canadians know that we need to work hard for them to get stuff
0.75
00:19:50.980
done. I want them to work less hard. That would actually make things better. Things get better in
00:19:57.280
Canada every time Justin Trudeau goes on vacation. So that's where I'd disagree with Pierre Polyev.
00:20:03.360
I don't want to shame Justin Trudeau for taking a lot of private jet flights. I want him to take more,
00:20:08.640
because that means he's not in the country as often. Anyways, but now I want to jump over to
00:20:14.420
Chrystia Freeland, who's actually asked a good question by a Toronto Star journalist,
00:20:18.660
which actually shocked me. But she's asked a question about the liberals going after the
00:20:24.620
conservatives with this very hot rhetoric about them being liars and fraudsters and all this stuff,
00:20:30.180
directly referencing the things that Karina Gould had been saying. And the fact that the liberals are
00:20:36.280
accusing the conservatives of being so mean and rude when the liberals are literally easily worse
00:20:47.980
We don't have an announcement about that today.
00:20:50.960
And then a follow up question is, you've been very, the government has been very critical of
00:20:55.620
Pierre Polyev's rhetoric and political style. But your colleagues have been recently calling him
00:21:02.180
now a liar and this morning was a fraud. So just how do you square that with the position you've
00:21:10.780
I think that it is really important for us as the government and also...
00:21:18.500
Okay, you can immediately tell whenever Chrystia Freeland doesn't know what to say yet,
00:21:22.200
because she starts doing that thing where she just starts saying,
00:21:26.960
you know, it's really important that we as a government have discussions. And she'll just
00:21:33.620
say nothing for the first 10 seconds, because she's still thinking of what her answer here should be.
00:21:38.660
Really important for us as the government, and also for us as liberals, to be really clear with
00:21:47.580
Canadians about what the Conservative Party is saying, about what it is standing for,
00:21:55.520
and about the veracity or not, of the statements of the Conservative leader and of Conservative MPs.
00:22:03.340
We owe that to Canadians, and we are going to continue to be, first and foremost, focused on Canada and
00:22:12.240
Canadians, focused on what do Canadians need right now, and what can we do to make their lives better.
00:22:19.900
Oh my goodness. Either she is giving speaking lessons to Kamala Harris, or Kamala Harris is giving
1.00
00:22:29.800
speaking lessons to her. She's saying nothing. Nothing. It's actually maddening. You just want to
00:22:36.520
start screaming. Say actually anything. Just say what you're going to say. Just say that, yes,
00:22:43.180
we're calling out the Conservatives for things that they're doing wrong, and I don't think that's
00:22:48.340
bad. Fine answer. It's stupid. You're wrong, but it's a fine answer. She's like waterboarding us
1.00
00:22:55.520
with nothing. Just nothing. She's talking about the significance of words, and how Canadians are
0.96
00:23:01.580
Canadians, and they expect us to work hard for them. Today is an example of that. We were all in our
00:23:09.660
communities this summer. We all traveled across Canada, and we heard from young people, I really
00:23:16.440
want to buy my first home. Yeah, and why have you made it so impossible to do that, guys, by flooding
00:23:22.380
the country with new migrants or new immigrants who also can't afford homes because there's not
1.00
00:23:27.500
enough houses? For me, the strongest data point there is 750,000 Canadians, actually more than 750,000
00:23:36.500
Canadians, have already opened a tax-free first home savings account. That means 750,000 people
00:23:43.740
who are putting up their hand and saying, I really want to buy a place to live.
00:23:48.280
Wow. Does that what that means? 750,000 people took advantage of a program that we created,
00:23:56.300
and that really shows that they want to buy a house, and that's important because housing is
00:24:02.020
important. Housing is that roof over your head that keeps you from getting wet when it's raining.
00:24:09.240
It's horrible. Why is who let her speak in front of a microphone? This is horrible, and it's like,
00:24:15.520
yeah, you guys started those tax-free savings accounts for new housing, which isn't even a bad
00:24:19.780
idea. It's not even a terrible idea. Let people have the first $40,000 they're saving for a house
00:24:24.740
tax-free. That's only been considered necessary because of how much you guys have overheated the
00:24:32.680
housing market with way too many new permanent residents, temporary foreign workers, and students.
00:24:38.040
This is all your guys' fault. These programs are unnecessary. Some of them aren't a terrible idea,
00:24:44.480
but they're unnecessary if you guys didn't do what you're doing. But she's like, man, isn't it great
00:24:48.540
that people are taking advantage of our programs because we've made them this desperate? Not really.
00:24:56.500
We support that. That is people believing in saving every day for their future, saving for Canada.
00:25:04.540
And what people have also said to us is, it's still too hard. And so today, we're putting forward
00:25:11.060
concrete, practical, specific measures that are going to make it easier for young Canadians
00:25:17.700
to buy that first home. I like how she admitted, all these people told us, well, it still sucks out
00:25:24.340
here. And she's like, okay, I know. So we're going to put forward some practical solutions. Why were
00:25:29.520
the practical solutions already implemented? It's almost like whatever you're about to implement
00:25:34.200
is just doubling down on the same policies that didn't work before. A practical solution is something
00:25:39.340
that actually solves it. That's the implication of a solution. These aren't solutions. There are more
00:25:45.760
money being dumped into the market, overheating the market, making housing prices higher.
00:25:52.400
And then we're going to cycle back and subsidize demand more. That's the difference between
00:25:57.220
conservative and liberal policy solutions. Liberals consider everything a demand side issue. Well,
00:26:03.420
people don't have enough money for housing. We'll just give them more money. The conservatives see it
00:26:07.740
as a problem that it's too hard to get new housing permits. There's way too many environmental
00:26:12.320
regulations. Inspections needed to be done. Way too much paperwork to get a housing approved. That
00:26:17.180
doesn't mean that zoning laws are bad. I don't like blanket rezoning taking place in Calgary.
00:26:22.380
It doesn't get to the root cause that it makes it difficult to build anything. It doesn't matter
00:26:26.960
that all they're doing is trying to basically bribe developers by saying, hey, even though we still
00:26:32.740
made it almost impossible to build something or because it's very difficult to build things,
00:26:36.740
well, at least you can build a sixplex instead of just two single detached homes. And you can get
00:26:41.800
more bang for your buck selling each of those of those units in the sixplex rather than just two
00:26:48.100
houses. But they're still, everything's still over-costed to build because of all the building
00:26:53.780
codes and regulations and extra paperwork you have to go through. By offering them 30-year
00:26:59.840
amortizations by raising the level from 1 million to 1.5 million of the insured mortgage market. And
00:27:07.520
at the same time, we're creating another incentive to get more homes built faster by allowing 30-year
00:27:14.860
amortizations for new builds. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Did she actually write something on her hand
00:27:20.440
there? I got to go back. I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist here, guys. More homes built
00:27:24.240
faster by allowing 30-year amortizations for new builds. So that is about... Sorry, I didn't want
00:27:31.840
to go down that rabbit hole, but I was like, oh my goodness, did she write down some notes on her hand
00:27:35.360
to remember during this press conference? What she's proposing is not helping. Mortgage insurance,
00:27:42.240
you mean if somebody defaults on their mortgage? That's not something that's going to keep somebody
00:27:47.280
in a home. That's like worst case scenario type issues of needing a home mortgage insurance.
00:27:56.000
They've not made it easier to build. That's why housing starts year over year over the past three
00:28:00.800
years have been going down. It doesn't matter how much money you pump into the market to incentivize
00:28:06.000
more people to build or trying to make it easier to buy. You have to increase the supply by making it
00:28:13.360
easier to provide supply. Not just saying, here's 20 bucks. Can you build another home? That's not
00:28:19.520
how it works because it's impossible to build. It doesn't make it better. It truly is like seeing
00:28:25.760
hyper-privileged, hyper-wealthy people just thinking that if they throw money at the problem, it'll go
00:28:30.400
away. At some point, the money's not the problem. The problem is the problem. You can't solve it just by
00:28:35.920
dumping money on it. Anyways, yes, the liberals have not learned anything. They have not learned
00:28:42.880
anything, both in being extremely condescending like Karina Gould was and Christy Freeland was there,
00:28:49.760
but also doubling down on the same stupid non-solutions that they have on things like housing
00:28:57.680
and doubling down on things like the carbon tax that Canadians have gotten back to them on time and
00:29:03.260
time again saying they don't like it. They don't believe the lie that they're making more money on the
00:29:08.480
rebates than they are being taxed through the carbon tax. But Trudeau, now I guess because Jagmeet
00:29:16.000
Singh has abandoned the carbon tax, he thinks that he can now pick up a bunch of Jagmeet Singh's
00:29:20.460
environmentalist supporters. I don't even think that's exactly going to be possible because I think
00:29:25.780
even the environmentalist types, there are some hardcores who are going to abandon Jagmeet because
00:29:31.040
he's no longer a big environmentalist, but Jagmeet's probably going to actually win over some
00:29:35.620
middle-class liberal voters who are secretly against the carbon tax but don't want to voice it.
00:29:41.380
But they'll go vote NDP because for some reason they're insecure about voting conservative.
00:29:46.760
And in all this, conservatives are going to benefit the most because everything is complete chaos on the
00:29:51.640
left side of the aisle. And the only party with an actual stable vision of what they want to do with
00:29:56.840
the country are the conservatives. And it's a good vision. But in terms of the political strategy
00:30:02.100
here, usually conservatives, bad conservative strategists like Fred DeLore and others would be
00:30:08.500
saying, tack to the middle, to go and try and occupy the territory that liberals are giving up.
00:30:14.880
Pierre Polyev has been making the right moves on actually tacking towards the right, having more
00:30:20.020
principled conservative positions, having a strong platform that he personally is passionate about,
00:30:26.120
and having Canadians come over because they like his vision and his passion, rather than just
00:30:32.300
having watered down liberal policies. And you hope that since that you've lined yourself up slightly to
00:30:38.280
the right of the liberals, that when liberal voters walk away from that party, they'll naturally come to
00:30:42.960
you first. Didn't work for Erno Toole, and Pierre Polyev is proving the opposite strategy to be successful.
00:30:50.420
Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys. I always have clunky endings to these videos. But if you're
00:30:55.800
not already subscribed, hey, you've made it to the 30-minute mark, you better subscribe at this
00:31:00.400
point, unless you're watching this entire video as a promise to a friend and you haven't liked it at
00:31:05.840
all, then I, you know, I apologize and I sympathize with you. But if you have liked it, make sure you
00:31:11.280
like the video, subscribe, and consider donating to the legal fund. The Give, Send, Go link in the
00:31:16.840
description of this video below and pinned at the top of the comments will get you there. We're being sued
00:31:21.960
by a billionaire Chinese developer for defamation. And in two and a half years of this case going on,
00:31:28.060
not only has that cost me $32,000 in legal fees, but the guy hasn't even basically filed any evidence.
00:31:34.400
And at this point, he's just ducking us trying to draw out the case as long as possible. So if you
00:31:39.440
can contribute to that, it does put a dent in the cost that I've had to pay myself. Anyways,
00:31:45.920
have a good one, everyone, and I'll see you next time.
