The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Trudeau's Liberals behaviour is totally Pathetic!

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. 1.00

00:00:26.220 Pierre Polyev goes after Justin Trudeau for being stupid and incompetent. 0.99

00:00:30.260 Justin Trudeau said something snide, and the world keeps spinning on. 1.00

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.

00:00:46.980 And today, we have two by-elections happening,

00:00:50.120 one in Elmwood-Transcona in Manitoba, and one in the riding of La Salamard-Verdun in Montreal.

00:00:57.280 Both of these used to be safe ridings.

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.

00:01:23.080 And think about it.

00:01:24.160 The NDP have not actually really fallen or risen in the polls much since last election.

00:01:29.880 Last election, this was still a safe seat.

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.

00:02:06.760 But they don't actually respect workers.

00:02:09.080 They're not actually trying to make the economy better for workers.

00:02:12.140 They're just kind of vaguely pro-union.

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%,

00:02:47.340 a very healthy margin for the NDP.

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

00:02:58.340 because Montreal is the city of red.

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,

00:03:10.340 no matter what the election issues are.

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.

00:03:23.680 And it didn't exactly go conservative either.

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.

00:03:42.120 They just dislike the liberal brand.

00:03:44.420 Because Justin Trudeau, if anything, was Montreal's boy.

00:03:47.940 He is a Montreal MP.

00:03:50.880 He made the party absolutely dominant in that city in 2015, 2019, and 2021.

00:03:58.060 But now in this by-election in the year 2024,

00:04:02.180 LaSalle, Amard Verdun could go block or NDP.

00:04:05.840 It's not going to go conservative.

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%.

00:04:41.200 But for an urban liberal riding, it's safe.

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,

00:05:40.100 at least in affect.

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

00:05:55.980 on his campaign office windows.

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

00:06:19.960 workers.

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

00:06:43.300 the seat out of contentions for everybody.

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

00:06:56.800 as them in their affect, but whatever.

00:06:59.460 So that will be interesting to talk about tomorrow, regardless if the Liberals are able to hold

00:07:04.540 on in that riding in Verdun.

00:07:07.160 It's still pathetic that it's even going to be as tight as it is. 0.98

00:07:10.400 I hope they lose, and I hope Justin Trudeau resigns. 0.95

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 0.99

00:07:23.360 you suck as a leader, especially if you're the Prime Minister, and you've been sucking 0.99

00:07:27.980 for almost nine years or eight years straight, you should leave. 1.00

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

00:07:42.120 and the Liberals.

00:07:43.180 I'm not going to talk about too many clips from question period because, frankly, you

00:07:48.360 guys know what's being said.

00:07:50.180 You know, Pierre Polyev is going to stand up and say that Justin Trudeau is incompetent 1.00

00:07:54.020 and a fool. 0.99

00:07:55.160 Justin Trudeau is going to stand back up and answer him by being super snarky and not really 1.00

00:07:59.240 saying anything.

00:07:59.920 And it's just going to keep going back and forth.

00:08:02.960 But I do want to talk about this exchange.

00:08:05.520 And I thank Kat Canada from the Countersignal for clipping it.

00:08:09.340 Go give Kat Canada a follow. 1.00

00:08:11.640 She does a really good X. 0.95

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

00:08:21.560 election.

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.

00:08:37.720 Whatever.

00:08:38.180 But here he goes.

00:08:38.800 Climate change costs money.

00:08:40.960 And what would cost the most money to Canadians at all is his do-nothing climate plan.

00:08:46.980 Newsflash.

00:08:47.820 When the Toronto subway gets flooded, it costs money.

00:08:51.880 Newsflash.

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

00:09:54.420 people for.

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

00:10:10.220 the money back anyways?

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.

00:10:23.040 At the same time, people are being benefited.

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.

00:10:38.080 The Honorable Leader of the Opposition.

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.

00:10:49.440 All it does is create more poverty. 0.85

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 0.52

00:11:07.520 heating their homes.

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

00:11:27.920 Period.

00:11:28.540 You know what's happening in Question Period. 1.00

00:11:31.180 Justin Trudeau's getting absolutely battered, and he's just being a snarky jerk in response. 0.98

00:11:37.540 But I do want to jump over to another liberal saying something outside of Question Period, 0.97

00:11:43.320 and that is one of our favorite liberal MPs, Karina Gould, who, yes, she indeed did post

00:11:50.140 this clip herself.

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 1.00

00:12:18.340 like this and pretend you're stupid and hope that you basically just go away and, I guess, 1.00

00:12:24.680 bow to their superior intellect. 1.00

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

00:12:35.640 they're actual schoolchildren.

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,

00:12:59.180 and something that only a fraudster would do.

00:13:01.760 When he is focused on having an election on the carbon price, what he's trying to do is

00:13:07.300 distract Canadians from his real agenda.

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

00:13:29.320 economic times.

00:13:30.600 That is a fact.

00:13:31.480 He actually, in fact, does care about those things.

00:13:34.220 What plan does he put forward?

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?

00:14:02.600 Defund the CBC.

00:14:05.840 Why does he think that this is going to play well?

00:14:08.640 Nobody likes the CBC.

00:14:11.660 And you can poll people, say, do you think that the CBC, does the CBC make you feel patriotic

00:14:16.780 as a Canadian?

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

00:14:24.780 a Canadian institution.

00:14:26.300 Because some people remember them back in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s when they used to 0.93

00:14:30.740 not completely suck.

00:14:32.440 But nobody watches them. 0.96

00:14:34.680 That's the real poll question.

00:14:37.140 That's the real poll of who likes CBC.

00:14:39.820 How many people watch them per night?

00:14:41.280 And it's like 100,000 people might watch them in a night.

00:14:44.740 And that's not concurrent.

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.

00:14:53.780 Nobody watches the national.

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.

00:15:03.440 Can she answer that question?

00:15:05.760 You guys have more spending, more social security spending, more social assistance spending than

00:15:13.620 ever before.

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

00:15:29.980 Good.

00:15:30.840 Good.

00:15:31.220 It's costing too much money.

00:15:32.660 You let people spend their own money.

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

00:15:59.100 like $3.99.

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.

00:16:57.040 And that means that he doesn't have a plan.

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 0.95

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

00:20:43.680 on all these fronts. But here we go.

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

00:21:07.960 taken in the past?

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, 0.99

00:28:49.760 but also doubling down on the same stupid non-solutions that they have on things like housing 0.97

00:28:57.680 and doubling down on things like the carbon tax that Canadians have gotten back to them on time and 0.99

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.
