00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I think it's impossible to overemphasize just how insane it is
00:00:06.860 that our current environment minister who is holding the Canadian energy industry hostage
00:00:11.520 is just a flat-out eco-socialist. Not enough Canadians seem to know about this because I
00:00:16.800 think if enough people did know how radical Stephen Gilbeau was, he wouldn't be in the
00:00:21.660 current position he's in. We had to get rid of Randy Boissoneau recently when enough Canadians 1.00
00:00:26.460 found out he was an actual fraudster and faking his Indigenous identity to basically steal 0.99
00:00:32.060 government contracts, but Stephen Gilbeau still remains in his place at the environment ministry.
00:00:38.300 What prompted me to make this video is just Stephen Gilbeau reparenting the lies that the
00:00:43.360 Conservatives are not willing to give Canadians a tax break where he's in front of this, I guess,
00:00:50.220 mural. There's a lot of politicians these days trying to pretend they're Rick Mercer, a lot of
00:00:54.820 them doing these walk and talk videos or standing in front of graffiti or murals. And so here's
00:00:59.740 Stephen Gilbeau claiming that it's actually the Conservatives who are not fiscally Conservative.
00:01:05.720 Hi folks, you won't believe this, but Pia Pagliev and the Conservative Party of Canada
00:01:09.480 just announced that they would be voting against the GST tax break for the holidays that we're
00:01:14.620 proposing. Yeah, it's because it's a temporary measure. And it's a temporary measure that's about
00:01:20.520 to give way in April to a massive increase to the carbon tax. A doubling of the carbon tax is about
00:01:26.500 to hit, which Stephen Gilbeau leaves out of this. So of course, they're going to be voting against a
00:01:31.320 almost purely symbolic measure to give people a few half dollars of their own money back,
00:01:36.340 let them preserve a little bit more money. Right before you hit them with the carbon tax,
00:01:40.120 the Conservatives are counter-offering and saying, how about you just pass the carbon tax? And also,
00:01:44.740 here's the game. When you're in opposition, you can't hold anything up from being passed.
00:01:49.000 It's all up to the Liberals, the Bloc, and the NDP. So if you're a Conservative,
00:01:53.480 what's the point in voting in a very flawed government plan, even though there's technically
00:01:58.080 some benefits for Canadians when you know it's just a front for the Liberals to increase tax later?
00:02:03.480 Oh, and in the same month of April, when the taxes increase on the carbon tax, they also cut
00:02:08.160 Canadians a $250 check just to, again, alleviate some of the shock of how much gas is going to be going up.
00:02:15.140 That's just two years ago, Kephalyev was in favor of such a measure. So from where I'm from...
00:02:22.420 He was in favor of a summer-long GST-HST tax holiday that also would coincide with eliminating
00:02:31.140 the carbon tax altogether. The thing is that Kephalyev has the consistent position that he is not,
00:02:37.000 he is in favor of getting rid of the carbon tax, and he will not vote for anything that is basically
00:02:41.720 attempting to preserve or distract from the carbon tax. We call this all talk, no action. He pretends
00:02:48.240 that he's there for Canadians, that he wants to support Canadians, yet he had an opportunity to
00:02:52.780 do that today, and he did exactly the opposite. It's unbelievable. Oh, it's unbelievable. The man
00:02:59.260 who supports raising taxes on everybody to pay for pie-in-the-sky climate plans. This is the thing
00:03:06.680 drove me up the wall. Whenever I hear liberals, especially socialists, somebody who actually
00:03:11.640 called themselves a proud socialist in the House of Commons, when these people come out and they try
00:03:16.160 and shame the conservatives on an issue like this, it gets me a little bit heated because I'm about to
00:03:20.960 go into the stuff that he's now proposing on our oil and gas industry, capping emissions, capping
00:03:27.140 production on the oil and gas industry, and celebrating it as actually very good for the Canadian
00:03:34.340 economy. It's insane that this man is allowed in this position with this amount of influence
00:03:39.440 over our economy, and by extension, Canadians own individual prosperities. But before I get into the
00:03:46.660 next thing that Gilboa is going on about, I just want to remind you guys, if you're not yet a subscriber
00:03:52.280 to the channel, make sure you do go and subscribe. I know about 75% of people watching any given video
00:03:58.060 I upload are not yet subscribers. Anyways, here, without further ado, we have Stephen Gilboa saying
00:04:05.120 ahead of this Hill Times article, on top of this Hill Times article, oil and gas emissions cap will
00:04:10.860 create new investment in jobs in Alberta. And this is the opinion of Mr. Stephen Gilboa. He says,
00:04:17.420 investing in decarbonization is good for our planet and our economy. Oh my goodness.
00:04:22.340 What is he saying here? Well, if we cripple you, if we cripple the economy in one way,
00:04:37.200 that means it will have to grow in a different way. That's like saying if we ban the sale and
00:04:44.200 creation of couches, it will be really good for the chair industry. I guess so, but that's
00:04:51.240 economically illiterate. But I don't expect a socialist to be economically literate because
00:04:56.780 their entire ideology stands against understanding the relationship between supply and demand and
00:05:03.300 realizing that GDP based on government spending is not real prosperity. That's actually what I hate
00:05:09.560 about economics, modern economics. You will have an economics professor straight face tell you that
00:05:15.880 GDP from government and GDP from the private sector are interchangeable and it has the same value
00:05:21.040 to the economy. It doesn't. If 100% of the GDP was spent by government, you will quickly start having
00:05:29.500 the GDP go down every year because the government is a sucking force on the economy, not a providing
00:05:36.700 force, not a creating force. The private sector, private industry creates jobs. What Stephen Gilboa has
00:05:43.300 been doing is funding things like cricket farms for human consumption and putting money into boondoggle
00:05:50.180 solar or solar initiatives, wind initiatives that yes, technically create some value, but it's not
00:05:57.480 creating as much value as the subsidies they are getting. I've been talking to people who are in the
00:06:03.040 industry of trading energy or basically the energy industry of buying and selling energy onto grids to
00:06:10.180 private corporations, all that stuff. And they have confirmed green energy is pretty much a scam
00:06:15.140 in the sense that the taxpayer, if they knew the increased costs in providing solar and wind,
00:06:22.180 they would say ban that from the grid. It's a massive boondoggle because while technically every unit
00:06:27.860 of energy is purchased onto the grid at the flat rate that the government announces, if you're providing
00:06:33.580 wind or solar, you get extra kickbacks from having to lay out long copper wire all the way to the
00:06:41.860 nearest energy, not plant, but energy station. You get a lot more subsidies from being in the green
00:06:48.440 energy industry. You get a lot more grants. The amount of money for energy, for solar to get onto
00:06:54.480 the grid is so much higher than getting natural gas or coal onto the grid. I don't know why we banned
00:07:00.280 coal. But we have some more posts from Mr. Stephen Gilbeau here. He says, oil and gas companies are
00:07:07.820 colluding with Pure Poly to drop the price on carbon pollution. Are we even surprised after raking in max
00:07:14.780 donations from big oil lobbyists at executive fundraisers? Of course, he wants to cut the
00:07:19.420 industrial carbon price and let them off the hook. I don't even know what he's trying to say here.
00:07:26.660 It's this dumb populist argument that Pure Poly is working like, you know, he's behind the scenes
00:07:32.540 taking money from big donors. A big donor in Canada can only donate up to $1,750 and I think like 42
00:07:40.800 cents. That's not a big donor. Oh, but they're from the evil, scary oil and gas companies. Sorry,
00:07:46.780 is any solar or wind providers giving Stephen Gilbeau and the Liberal Party money? I guarantee it.
00:07:53.160 And wow, I can't believe people who would give money to the party who is better for their specific
00:08:01.140 economic interests. The oil and gas companies would give money to the people who don't want
00:08:07.060 to cap their production, who are not holding a gun to their head. And the Liberals would be getting
00:08:11.860 dollars from people who they subsidize. Who would have thunk it that the Liberals might get money from
00:08:19.700 the people that they give money to? That happens all over the place. Several liberal corruption
00:08:24.800 scandals have involved basically money trading hands between government officials or the Liberal
00:08:30.060 Party and people that they are currently subsidizing. That was the We Charity scandal,
00:08:34.740 although that had an illegal element because they were giving money directly to Trudeau family members.
00:08:40.060 Anyways, but the CBC article that he has this as a header on, or at least the graphic the Liberals
00:08:45.980 made out of the CBC thing says, meet the group spending the most on social media ads attacking
00:08:50.760 the carbon tax. And again, it's this ridiculous idea that the idea, and it's this, you've probably
00:08:57.400 heard it if you've ever like watched conservative coverage of American politics. It's this Republicans
00:09:02.900 pounce or conservatives pounce narrative. But in this instance, it's oil and gas companies pounce.
00:09:10.720 Oh, I can't believe the oil and gas companies are spending money fighting us on us trying to kill
00:09:16.260 their industry. Kind of makes them bad people for wanting to fight back against the death of their
00:09:24.100 industry, especially a death of an industry that helps Canadians. Oh my goodness. But he then shows
00:09:31.140 his true socialist colors in this post right here. And there's not technically anything wrong with it.
00:09:36.840 He's just talking about how they've extended the carbon tax rebate subsidies to small businesses.
00:09:42.760 And he says, Pistachio Cafe is one of the 600,000 businesses across the country who will be receiving
00:09:49.920 that Canadian carbon rebate for small and medium businesses. Thank you for having us,
00:09:54.940 Jess and James or Jen and James. I think I had that slight Jesse James kind of like a association
00:10:02.640 in my head when I was reading their names. But he's just what this is, is that Stephen Gilboa hates
00:10:08.420 big business. And I'm not pro big business, just as I'm not pro small business or medium sized businesses
00:10:15.140 or sole proprietors, you shouldn't be in favor of any kind of business. But the government constantly wants
00:10:21.980 to pick winners and losers in the economy. And this is another way of Stephen Gilboa being able to pick
00:10:27.360 winners and losers. He gets to target rebates to smaller businesses, which is basically just
00:10:32.740 redistributing money from larger ones, because Stephen Gilboa mostly just hates success. And so
00:10:38.260 he wants to give money to take money from people who are very successful and give it to people who are
00:10:42.740 less successful. And no doubt, I wonder if this cafe has higher profit margins than another coffee shop
00:10:51.180 would. That's the funny thing, especially with people like Jagmeet Singh, they constantly promote
00:10:55.420 like small local grocery stores that have like way higher profit margins than the corporate grocery
00:11:00.640 chains that they constantly attack for price gouging, even though the highest, the highest profit
00:11:07.500 margin in any of the grocery store changes Metro, who Jagmeet Singh wouldn't criticize for the longest
00:11:12.100 time, because his brother Guritan Singh is currently a lobbyist for Metro, but he always hits Loblaws,
00:11:17.900 who has a, I believe, a profit margin of two and a half percent, but goodness.
00:11:21.420 Point in 25 years. And it's because of people like you who are doing their part, who are helping us
00:11:27.640 in Canada, make sure that we can grow the economy, create jobs and fight pollution at the same time.
00:11:33.600 So thank you very much. Thank you, Stephen. Thank you so much. Stephen Gilboa here in beautiful
00:11:39.200 Gananaque at the wonderful Pistachio Cafe to talk about the Canada carbon rebate. So I'm with
00:11:45.100 Jen and James owner of. Why do I feel like I can tell these people's political views by just looking at
00:11:50.980 them? You know, not trying to take too much of a shot, but there is that there is that kind of
00:11:55.300 man wearing a very severe man bun and with like the very unkempt beard and thick rim glasses that's
00:12:02.160 trying to show you I don't take myself too seriously. I'm just a cynical millennial who
00:12:07.780 doesn't actually, you know, I'm I couldn't be conservative. Look at how I dress this little gem
00:12:12.260 here. Thank you so much for being here. And we're so excited to learn more about the
00:12:15.920 and they have the hate has no home here sign because they're good people. They're good people.
00:12:21.620 And no doubt Stephen Gilboa picked them because they are virtue signaling leftists.
00:12:26.320 We made the announcement that we are also by December returning the money to businesses,
00:12:32.340 small, medium sized businesses across the country. A company like like yours with about 10 employees
00:12:37.460 will receive on an annual basis in return about $4,000.
00:12:41.000 Isn't he basically admitting here that the carbon tax has been affecting businesses that have nothing
00:12:47.740 to do with the energy industry? Because he pretends like you don't have to worry about the carbon tax
00:12:52.280 unless you're a big polluter. Well, why do these people need a rebate to make up for their costs
00:12:57.300 if it's only supposed to be hurting big, big polluters? And it's not like this company exactly
00:13:03.580 needs to pay for that much energy. This small business is this who's probably getting quite the large
00:13:08.640 like rebate compared to an individual's rebate. They're a cafe. All they really have is heating
00:13:16.140 and power. And yeah, that is a cost. The carbon tax has been heavy on that. But Stephen Gilboa
00:13:21.200 is tacitly admitting that on even something as out of the way from the energy and energy industry as a
00:13:28.320 cafe, the carbon tax is hurting them enough that they also need a rebate to make up for the large costs
00:13:34.200 of the carbon tax on their business. And I'm not saying they have small costs. My point is even a
00:13:39.160 cafe needs the rebate in order to make up for a lot of the issues that the carbon tax is causing.
00:13:45.680 And all this is on the back of the energy industry who is having their industry decimated by the sheer
00:13:50.860 amount of taxes, regulations, and now caps being attempted to be put in place. I don't think that
00:13:57.260 the cap's going to have time to be put in place with the short amount of time the liberal government has
00:14:01.780 left to live. But the fact that we're even proposing this is insane. It's obviously economically
00:14:08.440 authoritarian, but I wouldn't expect anything different from Stephen Gilboa, a proud socialist
00:14:13.980 who doesn't like anyone who is, he doesn't like anyone who is successful. If you are wildly successful,
00:14:20.800 he will have a problem with you. He also probably doesn't like Starbucks because they don't hate Israel.
00:14:26.080 But you know, what can you do with there? Anyways, well, that's it for me today, guys. If you want to
00:14:30.900 support the show, donate to the Give, Send, Go legal fund in the description of the video below,
00:14:34.700 as well as pinned at the top of the comments. I also have my website there, wyattclaypool.com.
00:14:39.720 Sign up if you want my recommendations for nomination races and leadership elections whenever
00:14:44.060 they happen to pop up in your area. I'm trying to grow the list to a big enough size so that I have
00:14:49.040 more than like one or two people to notify in each riding. And at that point, I have the ability to
00:14:54.040 let you know who is the most competent and the most conservative person that you can vote for. And I can
00:14:58.840 like basically rank a ballot in absentia. And then you guys can take or leave my recommendations or
00:15:03.780 even send me back information that you know about local races that can influence what I might mention
00:15:09.880 to other people on, you know, who's a good candidate to back, who's somebody who should watch out for,
00:15:14.720 because the problem right now with the conservative party being so popular is it incentivizes a lot of
00:15:19.860 people who are not that conservative to jump into conservative nomination races, because it's the only way of
00:15:25.800 being able to win is getting in the conservative race in many of these ridings, like a good 65-70%
00:15:32.720 of ridings are conservative shoe-ins. And if there's an open nomination in any of these, you're going to
00:15:37.840 have liberals and trade unionist NDP activists coming out of the woodwork to pretend that they've
00:15:43.360 always been conservative, and then they're going to get into government and be sluggish, and they're not
00:15:47.240 going to be a positive asset for pure Polyev to work with. Anyways, so that's it for me. Like, share,
00:15:53.560 and subscribe. See you guys all later.
