00:00:00.000 I think the people who have watched this channel for a while are starting to realize that I do not
00:00:07.440 like scheduling things. I just end up deciding in a morning that I want to do a live stream tonight
00:00:12.500 because, hey, I don't know, I'm talking about something that's going to take too long to make
00:00:16.960 an actual edited video about, and my editing software is garbage. That's why I mostly make
00:00:21.780 videos where I just talk for 10 minutes at a time. And I'm talking now not only because even
00:00:27.620 though there's not a lot of people watching, I don't like doing those weird things where I do a
00:00:30.980 countdown for like five minutes waiting for people to get on because that's boring. If you're watching
00:00:36.920 this the next day and you have to like skip ahead until I actually start speaking, I always find that
00:00:42.040 very obnoxious. There's a lot of people who don't do live streams, right, where it becomes just sort
00:00:47.180 of waiting for a big enough crowd until they actually start talking. So like there are 25
00:00:51.460 minutes of it could just be them sitting there saying nothing. But today I want to do a live
00:00:57.000 stream specifically to talk about universal basic income and its proponents, as well as I want to
00:01:04.380 potentially break down some embarrassing liberal content. There's this guy named JB Canadian
00:01:11.300 Politics 101. I find his content absolutely hilarious at the same time concerning because he's somewhat
00:01:18.360 popular on TikTok with younger Canadians. And the content is like threadbare in terms of its actual
00:01:26.160 factual accuracy about the different issues he covers. He assumes just knowing maybe one or two
00:01:31.860 things about a policy makes him an expert. He reminds me of so many people. I was in political
00:01:37.320 science and policy classes with throughout university, very kind of a liberal kind of a guy who, you know,
00:01:43.820 when you make a point, they're like, well, actually, and they have like no point at all, but they're just
00:01:47.820 going to try and hit you with some random obscure, like factoid that has nothing to do with what we're
00:01:54.000 talking about. But you know, what you want, you watch Rebel News or you watch True North and like
00:01:58.420 roll their eyes. And I guess that's an argument in their mind. But I will be starting off with the UBI
00:02:03.740 discussion today. Because yesterday, I put out a video about UBI. And this is a little bit in the
00:02:10.240 background why whenever I sit down to make videos, sometimes I remember to do it. Oftentimes, I don't because I'm the
00:02:15.180 most forgetful person on the planet. But I'll sit down and try and do one video that's meant for
00:02:20.340 YouTube, you know, more than five minutes or so more than eight minutes. And then on Twitter, I'll
00:02:25.620 try and have at least like a minute and a half to three minute video that I can put up about something
00:02:30.100 that I don't think really deserves a full YouTube video. But this one video I made on UBI actually did
00:02:35.980 fairly well. And out of the woodwork came a bunch of UBI proponents. And I wanted to sort of end up
00:02:42.420 confronting some of the opinions I ended up hearing about UBI and how I was so wrong. And
00:02:48.580 that or the funny thing is, I'd have people basically saying, no, UBI isn't a big power grab
00:02:53.920 by the government to take more money away from people through taxation and redistribute it over
00:02:58.680 to people in order to buy their votes. That's not what it is at all. And then you'd have other people
00:03:02.740 say, of course, I want to destroy the system. And I want the government to have far more power
00:03:07.640 because, you know, capitalism is inherently evil and UBI is a step forward to in the fight of
00:03:13.380 anti-capitalism is really annoying. But whatever. But that's what I want to talk a little bit about
00:03:19.060 today. The specific organization I want to talk about is the advocacy organization. I'm not even sure if
00:03:24.580 it's an advocacy organization. It seems like they are a registered PAC from looking through their
00:03:29.540 their website. It probably is some sort of a PAC or nonprofit organization might be like considered
00:03:36.720 an educational organization because all they do is quote unquote education on the concept of universal
00:03:42.880 basic income. But they themselves expose that this UBI thing is not this sort of broad base thing in
00:03:49.600 Canada that helps. It's going to be a great policy to be able to fill in the gaps in the Canadian economy
00:03:54.540 where too much automation is taking place. Or if there's not enough jobs, it helps build people up.
00:04:00.080 When you actually read what these people say, it's just that they tend to like a lot of socialists do
00:04:04.860 just have a visceral hatred for anyone who generates their own wealth. They are actively promoting for
00:04:11.760 people to be lazy and secure the money that you deserve. Why? I don't know. Because you exist and you
00:04:17.620 breathe. And that means you deserve $10,000 a year. For what reason? I don't know. Do they want to get rid
00:04:23.580 of welfare too and that UBI is a better solution because it's a flat amount of money and it doesn't
00:04:27.980 take as much bureaucracy? No, no, no. They still want all the welfare and stuff. They just want UBI
00:04:32.900 on top of it. And that UBI has to be completely tax deductible and whatnot. It's completely silly.
00:04:40.420 And what this is also goes into the idea of, and I guess basically this, the live stream has
00:04:45.360 officially started. I'm not just delaying. The thing with socialism is I hate the way that socialists
00:04:52.320 themselves are the worst at actually defining what socialism is. Socialism is basically just a genre
00:04:59.320 of economics. It's not a specific ideology. So every time you say something is a socialistic policy
00:05:05.720 because it requires a lot of government management of something, or it is a full-on government takeover
00:05:11.220 of an industry, or that the government is, even if it's still privately run on the face of it,
00:05:17.720 private businesses are delivering a service or whatever, obviously the government is leading
00:05:22.240 what they do, said in quote, is telling them how much to make, how much to pay their employees,
00:05:26.420 and it is effectively government-run. But socialists pretend that unless it's basically
00:05:30.840 Maoism or Soviet-style communism, it's not socialism. Everything's capitalistic except whatever Stalin does.
00:05:37.040 It's extremely obnoxious. Socialism just means that the public or the government operates the economy,
00:05:45.120 and that could mean the entire economy, or it could mean a specific part of the economy. That's why we say
00:05:51.700 in Canada, we have socialized medicine, because the government is in charge of payouts, standards,
00:05:58.940 how much can you bill for specific things, like wait times. They're the ones who manage all of it pretty much.
00:06:05.240 Yes, there are private doctors, but they are effectively working in the government system.
00:06:09.760 Not things, and you do get hyper-libertarians and anarcho-capitalists who are like, any regulation
00:06:15.200 means the government's running it. No, that's just being silly, and effectively you're just helping
00:06:20.140 the left by making the pro-capitalist argument sound ridiculous, that if you say that you have to
00:06:26.520 wear seatbelts, that's socialism. Obviously not. But anything is socialist, if it is government-managed
00:06:34.240 directly, or government-controlled through some other indirect device. This is why fascism,
00:06:41.200 Nazism, Maoism, Soviet-style communism, you know, the Khmer Rouge's style of communism, all this stuff
00:06:49.320 is socialist. It's a different version of socialism. So like fascists are trade unionists, which are
00:06:57.180 trade union, like pro-union socialists. Oddly enough, the Nazis and the Soviets also both crushed
00:07:02.720 trade unions as soon as they came to power, because they were so far left that they believe that even
00:07:08.180 having more than one union in a country would be competition against the people. It's insane.
00:07:14.500 But I'll kind of go into some of the stuff that I see from, I'll maybe share my screen quickly just
00:07:19.920 so you can see the UBI Works X account. But I think these people almost themselves are a great argument
00:07:26.860 for why UBI is not a good idea. A lot of their, basically their ideas, a lot of their advocacy on
00:07:38.240 this issue is not based on the idea that it's somehow beneficial. It's usually based on the fact
00:07:43.680 that it's like more fair or something like that. Yeah, and like they kind of go off this point of
00:07:51.640 like inevitability, or this is what annoys me so much that the UBI works as Walmart is testing
00:07:57.940 self-checkout only stores. Welcome to the age of technology. Should you continue to prepare for
00:08:02.280 basic income? What do you think? And what annoys me with this talking point that there is so much
00:08:08.200 automation in different industries these days, there's a lot of outsourcing going on. And you
00:08:12.780 think to yourself, well, who is the one who ended up causing these companies to outsource jobs or
00:08:18.380 automate the jobs? It was you guys who ended up demanding that there be constantly higher and
00:08:24.440 higher minimum wages to the point where you price people out of the market. And you made it so
00:08:29.300 costly for a company like McDonald's to deliver their food products at a cost effective rate when
00:08:38.200 they're having to pay everyone $15 an hour that they're like, well, let's just automate a bunch of
00:08:42.400 it because it'll save us time, money in the long run. Same with outsourcing. If we didn't have dumb
00:08:47.540 minimum wage laws, or we didn't keep trying to jack up the minimum wage, we wouldn't outsource
00:08:51.980 jobs. Because as much as they think like, oh, it's a greedy business outsourcing jobs,
00:08:56.360 businesses are going to operate so that they don't lose money. And if your idea is that and this is
00:09:01.000 where a lot of these people are flat out socialists, that they get mad that businesses want to create
00:09:06.040 like a significant profit and that they don't just operate off of a 1% profit margin, and that they
00:09:11.980 actually want to succeed in the future. So they're mad at them. And now they're demanding more
00:09:16.180 money. What do you think is going to happen when you start taxing companies more when you start
00:09:20.940 taxing wealthy individuals more to pay for UBI? Do you think outsourcing will increase or decrease?
00:09:27.900 I think because I have a brain that these companies will think the tax burden can is too much, I'm just
00:09:33.800 going to pull out or we're only going to operate in the most lucrative areas of Canada. And we're
00:09:37.740 basically going to gut everything that isn't in a major metropolitan area. And obviously, when you even
00:09:43.240 look at the UBI Works people's little cover photo up here, it's young, probably quite wealthy
00:09:51.140 urbanites in places like Toronto and Vancouver and Montreal, wanting basic income, because obviously
00:09:56.960 they're not going to be the ones who bear the brunt of the burden for the fact that companies are going
00:10:01.620 to divest from Canada. Because obviously, the last place you're probably going to leave is a
00:10:05.880 Toronto, it's a Calgary, it's a Vancouver, it's a Montreal, as there's a lot of business to be had
00:10:10.320 there. They're going to be divesting first from places like Tabor, from places like, you know,
00:10:17.380 Kitchener, there's going to be a lot of jobs lost in these areas. If the government starts trying to
00:10:22.540 absolutely gut these, any businesses, any wealthy individuals we have in Canada, in order to pay for
00:10:27.720 something that people think that they deserve, because they couldn't find a job after five minutes
00:10:31.820 of looking. It's not that difficult to get a job. I worked a job, I worked at minimum wage for five
00:10:37.040 years straight. I didn't complain because it was a good stable job. But all these people seem to think
00:10:41.560 that anyone who opposes universal basic income must be like super wealthy, and that they just don't
00:10:47.280 like it because they hate workers. And oftentimes, a lot of their rhetoric starts to get very like the
00:10:52.640 proletariat versus the bourgeoisie, and they expose themselves quite quickly. Despite the fact I think
00:10:58.000 that you organizations like UBI works, even just the color palette they use, it very much is going for
00:11:03.800 this like, almost UCP, you know, like BC United, moderate centrist kind of a look, not that like
00:11:12.480 the UCP is a centrist party, they're obviously center right, but they're trying to go for this
00:11:15.920 very centrist appearance to them. They have videos of Milton Friedman talking about a negative income
00:11:21.880 tax, which is not the same as UBI. And again, Milton Friedman literally opposed his own plan for
00:11:29.220 negative income taxes, when they tried to implement it in like when they were proposing implementing it
00:11:36.120 in the 70s under Richard Nixon's government in the US, they he opposed it because they weren't also
00:11:41.700 going to get rid of welfare programs. Milton Friedman's idea was that if you give everyone
00:11:45.820 $10,000 a year income, if you earn nothing, you get $10,000 a year, and that you can earn basically
00:11:52.260 after you start earning like 12 or 13,000, you don't get any more basic income, and then you earn off of
00:11:58.880 yourself. It's a good concept. But even he realized the problem was, is that the bureaucracy was not
00:12:04.980 going to voluntarily dismantle the welfare and Social Security bureaucracy in favor of a negative income
00:12:10.740 tax, they wanted to have both. Because the problem is, in government, bureaucrats, we act sometimes, or we
00:12:18.120 don't act, but liberals act, as if bureaucrats in government don't have any interest, because they work for the
00:12:24.880 public, that this must, they just must reflect the public interest. Bureaucrats and government employees,
00:12:30.400 as any sentient individual does, has their own interests. And obviously, when you grow government
00:12:37.260 departments, you're able to justify higher salary for yourself, because hey, I'm an executive, or I'm a
00:12:42.220 administrator in the government, and I manage 1200 employees now, not just 800. Obviously, I need a $50,000
00:12:47.980 increase in my salary. And I need to be able to hire another, you know, 70. I need to hire like an extra few HR
00:12:54.700 managers. And I want this new program, I need these extra benefits. This happens all the time. That's
00:13:00.560 kind of the issue. And that's how corruption public sector kind of corruption starts, is that there's
00:13:05.360 way too many incentives for these people to grow their departments in order so that they can justify
00:13:10.000 higher salaries for themselves, which is insane, because they'll basically take $2 billion of taxpayer
00:13:15.160 money in order to justify giving themselves a marginally higher salary for services or products or any
00:13:22.460 other thing that the government does that we don't really need. So many government programs,
00:13:27.140 and I think you'll all agree, have effectively turned into people, you know, middle class people
00:13:32.560 hired by the government. When I say middle class, I just mean the sense that they're making decent
00:13:35.880 money. Middle class people just shoveling buckets of money into a burning barrel. So many programs you
00:13:42.520 could not justify at all. The tampons and pads in men's bathrooms, is anyone out there thinking,
00:13:48.560 well, if we cut that, think of all the middle class jobs we might lose of, for some reason,
00:13:54.440 government workers who walk into men's bathrooms and just put down women's products.
00:13:59.180 But we could lose jobs if we don't do that.
00:14:04.200 Yeah, but maybe I'll end up coming over to the UBI Works website, because I thought, I think a lot of it
00:14:11.700 is quite funny of just how almost blatant, actually, no, I want to start off, this sounds odd. I want to
00:14:16.720 start off with their link tree first, because their link tree almost markets it towards people who
00:14:22.280 are, like, who appealed, they're basically appealing to the lowest denominator, even just in their link
00:14:29.300 tree. And if you know what link tree is, it's like where people, if you want more than one link in your
00:14:33.220 bio and a lot of social media, you know, platforms, you can't really link too much. It's like another
00:14:37.980 website that just links everything that you're attached to. So look at here. They literally call it
00:14:43.640 Reserve Your Spot, The Basic Income Revolution. And like, this is like email lists and whatnot that
00:14:49.520 they're doing. CEOs for basic income, 150 business leaders have signed on to our letter. I'd love to
00:14:56.780 see who has signed on for this. And I guess this is a different website, but it's borderline just
00:15:01.960 another front group, because it still hosts UBI Works things. I want to see who's actually signing this
00:15:08.720 stuff. 360 Insight. Sorry, I want to see what these companies even are. Oh, wow. Do you know what 360
00:15:18.760 Insight is? It's a software company who doesn't actually have a lot of employees and has very low
00:15:23.480 overhead costs. Wow, who could tell why they want to do it? There's some clients manufacturers, I guess,
00:15:32.280 and whatnot. But like a lot of these, as I'm going through it, are just a lot of them are like online
00:15:38.140 type stuff that these people obviously don't have like a high cost burden. So they can obviously sign
00:15:45.000 on to this pretty easily. But yeah, what I want to get to is who pays for basic income in Canada?
00:15:51.780 Probably not you. If there is anything more selfish than that sentence right there, that's pretty gross.
00:15:57.560 Who pays for basic income in Canada? Or if you don't have to pay for it? Who cares? You don't
00:16:03.300 have to pay a dime. That means it's great. It means that it's a good if you benefit, that's a common
00:16:09.600 good. This is where I don't like the materialistic, or I think none of you would like it. The materialistic
00:16:15.960 frame of mind of socialists is quite insane, that as long as you materially benefit to the detriment of
00:16:23.840 someone who you think is bad, because they have more money than you, that's actually a good thing.
00:16:28.980 And whatever, it's, it's, it's quite sad that this is the type of thing that might appeal to people.
00:16:35.120 Take action for basic income, things that you can do. UBI, why women and all of Canada needed now,
00:16:41.480 needed now Canadian women of the Chamber of Commerce. That's always just so weird. Whenever this happened
00:16:46.760 even today, I talked about it where like, the liberals are trying to do this like, small business
00:16:51.740 benefit program, specifically for female entrepreneurs. That I don't understand why.
00:17:01.360 I don't understand, I don't understand like how people don't see that's extremely sexist,
00:17:05.140 that like, you know, women need help starting their small businesses, men understand, but women don't,
00:17:10.200 so they need extra help. And it's like, if you're wondering why more women are probably struggling to
00:17:14.940 get into business, it's probably because more women tend to make up newer entrepreneurs, where
00:17:18.920 older businesses are probably run by men. And it's not because they're struggling because of some
00:17:23.940 sexism or some sort of like inherent male bias in the business community. It's probably because
00:17:28.260 liberal regulations and policies and taxation sucks. And anyone who started trying to start a new
00:17:34.380 business is having a very hard time. But now the liberals have re-rolled a problem that they caused
00:17:41.200 this through bad policy into an issue of sexism, and that women just need a leg up in the world.
00:17:49.660 Thank you, Patch Duress, super chat for the progressive algorithm. Also, would UBI, universal
00:17:54.880 basic income, be delivered to every single Canadian PR refugees? And would the dollar amount be the same
00:18:00.920 per province as UBI tax? Surely it sounds too good. And that's the thing, is that I don't,
00:18:07.200 one, that would be really funny if UBI was taxed. So really, the benefits people are getting aren't
00:18:12.140 even that good. And the inflation from UBI would be insane. Because if you just gave, this is the
00:18:17.660 problem when it comes to education in the United States, less of a problem in Canada, because we
00:18:22.080 do cap what you're allowed to charge people. I don't think it's good that we cap it. The US is out of
00:18:28.740 control prices are also not because of capitalism or anything like that. It's because of insane
00:18:34.840 government guaranteed loans to people going to college, that you can get a guaranteed loan from
00:18:41.460 the government or banks are supposed to guarantee loans. So when every student has $200,000, they can
00:18:47.180 just peel off to go to university. Well, the universities can say, okay, yeah, per semester,
00:18:52.100 it's like $35,000, $45,000, because they know the students have the money. So why not ask for it? And
00:18:58.360 that's the thing with UBI is if everyone, everyone just has an extra $10,000 a year, whether they're
00:19:04.280 working or not, any business worth their salt, because of the extra taxation to pay for all this
00:19:09.220 UBI stuff is obviously going to increase prices on every product, because they're going to have to
00:19:13.780 get back the money that was taken from them. Somehow, they can't just start not profiting off of their
00:19:19.160 business to pay for all this crap. But whatever. But I want to get to the actual thing that they had on
00:19:25.620 their website. I don't really care if it's a stupid CEO thing. Yeah, it's the it's the who pays for it,
00:19:34.100 probably not you section of their website, the you're allowed, it's actually good to be a selfish piece of
00:19:39.460 garbage section of the website. I want to see, sorry, I might try and try a different layout here for the
00:19:46.980 for the stream. Does this look better?
00:19:53.860 No, it does not. Or does it? I'm sorry. Nope. Nope.
00:20:01.620 Huh. I might shift between those two. I'm sorry. I'm just looking around.
00:20:06.500 So anyways, yeah, probably how to pay for basic income in Canada, who pays probably not you last
00:20:14.260 update July 19 2022. If your money comes from a paycheck, you likely won't pay for it. We can fund
00:20:20.420 basic income without taxing the vast majority of Canadians while encouraging income growth. No,
00:20:24.820 no, that's already a lie. That's already a lie. Because there's you are taxing. You are taxing
00:20:32.100 every Canadian if you're taxing wealthy Canadians or corporations, because who pays these people's
00:20:37.060 paychecks? And are they going to pay them more over time? If they're already having to pay for
00:20:41.860 their UBI as well? Are they going to cut have to cut staff because of all this, you actually could be
00:20:47.700 deeply affected by someone taxing your employer. And again, it's the socialist mentality that it's like
00:20:53.780 you versus your employer, and you should almost be rooting against your employer keeping any money that
00:20:58.020 they have. That's pretty, in a certain sense, pretty evil perspective, in my opinion, to look
00:21:03.700 at what someone else has. And again, in a capital system like Canada, outside of government subsidies
00:21:08.580 going to random companies who produce nothing, which I have a problem with, obviously, but the vast
00:21:13.220 majority of financial interactions in Canada or another capitalist democracy is all voluntary. I cannot
00:21:20.980 take a dollar from you unless you provide, or like, I cannot take a dollar from you unless I provide
00:21:26.980 you a product in some way, or I provide you labor or something like that. That's the nice thing.
00:21:31.300 It's it's all completely voluntary and completely ethical. Another super chat for the progressive
00:21:36.900 algorithm. Thank you, Pat Shourest. You said on another topic for another live video, will there
00:21:43.220 be importing Hamas? I mean, Palestinians. Yeah, I definitely want to talk about that. For some reason,
00:21:48.020 the liberals are all fired up to try and bring people from Gaza to Canada as refugees. Are there
00:21:54.340 innocent people in Gaza? 120% there are innocent people in Gaza. Should we just, as a country that is
00:22:01.620 10,000 kilometers away or more, I don't exactly know what the distance is, but should we be importing
00:22:07.060 people from Gaza to Canada, probably not with good background checks, in a situation where there are
00:22:14.340 obviously a lot of Hamas terrorists who are very, who based because Israel is rightfully crushing them,
00:22:21.220 they are, they have a lot of incentives to try and find a boat out of Gaza to whatever
00:22:25.780 locale they can find. And Canada, over time, has proven ourselves to be horrible at doing any
00:22:32.340 background checks. There's a reason why we, for some reason, well, there isn't a reason why,
00:22:37.060 but I mean, like, there's a reason why they would think Canada's a great place to go. Because we
00:22:40.580 brought back ISIS fighters from Syria and Iraq, and we just, you know, said, go home free. Just come in
00:22:47.140 every once in a while, like it's an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting for ISIS fighters, ISIS Anonymous,
00:22:52.580 that you get to show up and just tell everyone that you feel bad that you beheaded a lot of
00:22:56.820 people and we'll let you go. We should just push them into the ocean if they came back and they
00:23:00.260 fought for ISIS. But Justin Trudeau thinks that anyone who's an evil criminal or terrorist must be,
00:23:06.260 have a heart of gold secretly. But if you're a law-abiding gun owner, you must be a deeply evil
00:23:11.460 individual and we need to disarm you before you overthrow the government. Why? I don't know.
00:23:15.860 Because somehow, like everything in Justin Trudeau's mind is oppressed versus oppressor,
00:23:22.260 because a law-abiding gun owner is probably better off than a criminal because they're a criminal,
00:23:27.860 which is why they don't have a job, which is why they're poor. Because that's the situation that
00:23:32.580 exists. It must be that the rich gun owner is evil compared to this criminal who's mugging people in
00:23:37.700 the streets because obviously every single criminal who's robbing stores or murdering
00:23:42.420 people is just Aladdin and they're trying to steal bread for hungry kids. But whatever. That's just
00:23:48.020 the sort of thing that you end up getting with this kind of cultural Marxist frame of mind.
00:23:58.420 Well, what I would say to you, senior, he says, what value do Gaza refugees have to any non-Muslim
00:24:03.060 country? What value do they have to any Islamic country in the region? There is a reason the
00:24:08.340 Egyptian government blockades the border with Gaza because they don't like us literally the Hamas
00:24:15.780 is the military branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. And if you don't know anything about the Muslim
00:24:20.180 Brotherhood, they used to run Egypt in 2013 after the Arab Spring or 2012, 2013. They literally,
00:24:27.540 as soon as they got into government, because the Muslim Brotherhood was like a militant terror
00:24:31.540 organization borderline. It's kind of like a political club at the same time. So they
00:24:35.780 have this air of somehow being professional and very regal. They seem like just sympathetic
00:24:45.780 people who just want to make the world better. But there's a reason why they're the sort of
00:24:49.300 organization who starts Hamas on the side. But in Egypt, when the Muslim Brotherhood came to power,
00:24:55.620 they wouldn't have the police go around rounding up minorities they didn't like to kill them
00:25:00.260 and throwing children off of buildings. They would just have Muslim Brotherhood thugs do that and
00:25:04.420 then it looks like the state's not doing anything. There's a reason why the military eventually took
00:25:08.820 over in Egypt. And now Al-Sisi, I think it's Al-Sisi, but Sisi is now the president of Egypt
00:25:14.740 because the Muslim Brotherhood was in so insane that they destroyed the economy. They were murdering
00:25:19.380 people and they then were also proposing that they should fund ISIS at the time. I think they just
00:25:23.540 called it the Islamic resistance in Syria or whatever at the time. They were literally going to fund
00:25:28.340 ISIS in Egypt so that the military had to take over. So that's why they blockaded Egypt because
00:25:33.300 all those nutcases who ended up getting out of Egypt when the military was rightfully going around
00:25:37.780 trying to hunt down all these psychopaths, they all went into Gaza to keep fighting their
00:25:44.180 revolutionary struggle against everything good in the world. I'll get back to the UBI thing. I'm sorry
00:25:50.180 about this. So we can fund basic income without taxing the vast majority of Canadians while
00:25:56.900 encouraging economic growth. I already said that you can't tax anyone in Canada without taxing everyone.
00:26:02.340 Yes, it is always going to affect the person you're taxing directly the most,
00:26:06.100 but you cannot tax businesses without it having an effect on consumers or employees.
00:26:11.460 Although there are many ways to fund basic income, we propose to pay for it with
00:26:15.860 contributions from our financial sector, you know, taxing businesses, fewer tax breaks for large
00:26:21.300 companies and fewer subsidies for the wealthiest. I hate the way that they phrase this and it's the
00:26:26.260 way that the NDP talks about it is that they act like tax breaks or that removing sort of like,
00:26:34.660 like subsidies and tax breaks. I don't like subsidies. A lot of subsidies in Canada also exist
00:26:39.540 because I guarantee the UBI people would give tax break exemptions or subsidy exemptions,
00:26:45.140 but they're not going to remove subsidies from EV factories because they're all left-wing
00:26:49.460 people who are okay with, you know, EV companies getting money. But the reason why companies get
00:26:55.220 tax breaks is because the government's already taxing them too much. Or do you think those tax breaks
00:26:59.460 exist just for fun? You know, just as a little bit of a, like a, like, you know, a little fun little
00:27:04.420 kind of like relationship thing that the government has with businesses that, ah, for Christmas,
00:27:08.500 we bought you, like we got you a tax break because we love you so much. No, the liberals and other
00:27:13.460 governments have had to give up tax breaks because they were probably taxing businesses past the limit
00:27:18.100 that they could handle it. So they had to invent some sort of tax break to keep the general corporate,
00:27:23.700 like the corporate tax percentage in place while making sure they didn't sink too many businesses
00:27:30.340 with it at the same time. And they propose that this entire thing will not cost that much. Oh,
00:27:36.180 it's going to be so cheap. So funding options that don't tax most Canadians with encouraging economic
00:27:41.540 growth. So they think it's going to be $52 billion. I'm not sure what they say funding option. Yeah,
00:27:48.180 I think they assume the $51 billion is what the universal income costs. And I think they might have
00:27:52.420 thrown an extra billion on there for like, you know, I guess, administrative costs or so that they
00:27:57.060 can have a little always have a little bit more in case they run out. But so contributions from the
00:28:00.900 financial sector, an extra $15 billion taxed out of our financial sector. And I assume that would also
00:28:06.900 mean like, you know, greater taxes on capital gains for stocks, different speculation and whatnot,
00:28:14.020 which if you do that, the Toronto Stock Exchange is not going to do very well soon after UBI is
00:28:19.060 passed. Fewer tax breaks for large corporation companies, $19 billion. As I said before, tax breaks
00:28:24.900 exist for a reason. And it's usually because they're already being taxed too much. If you remove those,
00:28:29.700 do not be a surprise that those companies relocate so they don't have to pay any of this crap.
00:28:34.660 Fewer subsidies for the wealthiest. Again, they would have to actually explain what those subsidies
00:28:39.380 are because or they can get rid of all the green subsidies, I guarantee they agree with the green
00:28:42.980 subsidies. But this is just so undergraduate is how I would describe it. And again, it's not going
00:28:50.420 to cost $52 billion. It's going to cost more than that, because the infrastructure, all that is going
00:28:55.860 to cost more. And like Pat Shourest said in the highlighted comment, the super chat, I'm extremely
00:29:02.340 happy he sent that. Oh, sorry, there was this one. But yeah, like the UBI, especially if they start
00:29:09.940 allowing people who are permanent residents, or just people who are non-resident immigrants here who are
00:29:16.100 working, if they start letting them have any UBI, that is going to cause an even worse problem than we
00:29:23.780 have for mass immigration. How many people do you think are going to jump the border or fly into
00:29:29.380 Canada and claim residency here because we're just giving out $10,000 a year to people? Do you think
00:29:36.100 rent is going to stay the same if you start giving everyone $10,000 a year? Do you think any of this is
00:29:41.300 going to stay in place? But these people don't actually care. And the video I ended up making that
00:29:46.260 a lot of people were super ticked about, that a lot of people are all mad about was this video I made.
00:29:54.500 I'm gonna pull it up here. It was just asking the question to those who are big proponents of UBI,
00:30:01.140 asking them exactly how much they think that the Canadian government should have in terms of
00:30:06.820 spending power in the economy. Right now, I believe Canada's economy is somewhere like 35% or 32,
00:30:14.820 34. It's in that 30s range, mid 30s, maybe lower 30s. That percentage of the economy is made up or
00:30:21.380 our GDP is made up of government spending. I don't want to see myself on screen here. I already have
00:30:25.780 a hard enough time looking at myself. But there's already, the government already spends about 32%
00:30:31.860 of the money that goes through the economy every year, 34. Could be more, I don't know, maybe local
00:30:36.340 governments make it a little bit higher. What percentage of the economy should the government
00:30:41.620 make up? And I'm asking this to the UBI people. And like I said at the beginning of the video,
00:30:46.020 the two responses I would get were quite interesting. One were people who are completely
00:30:51.940 could get less and they're saying, well, who cares how much the government makes up? UBI is good for
00:30:56.020 people. So it doesn't matter if the government starts making up the majority of the economy.
00:31:00.260 I think once you cross that 45, 50% threshold, you are becoming a very socialistic country. When 50% of the
00:31:08.100 the economy relies on the government spending money to do anything, that's becoming an economy where
00:31:13.860 the government has more power than individual buyers. And then the other response I would get
00:31:19.460 was people who were in a certain sense, so bubble headed, I would say, they thought that what the 52%,
00:31:27.700 the 52 billion, 51 billion would cost in terms of our GDP, it would be about 5% of the GDP. Again,
00:31:34.980 I think it would probably be higher than that. That is an estimate made up by an advocacy
00:31:39.620 organization who is going to paint UBI in the most flowery of language and with the most rose-colored
00:31:45.060 glasses on. I guarantee it would probably be more like 64 billion to start off with,
00:31:49.380 based on all the new employees who would have to manage it, all of the extra expenses
00:31:55.460 that it would take to manage who gets what, the distribution of it. And again, I think that they'll
00:32:01.380 actually probably have extra UBI benefits depending on who you are. But let's just say it only costs 51
00:32:07.140 billion. Even at that, which I don't think that takes into account the growth and bureaucracy,
00:32:13.060 it would be 5% of the entire GDP of the country would go towards this singular program of $10,000 a
00:32:20.420 year, maybe it's tax deductible, maybe it's not. So then you'd also have a lot more tax work for people
00:32:24.980 having to figure out how much their income or taxes are with the UBI. So 5%, and they thought
00:32:32.020 that that was nothing. So we're at 35, 34% of the economy right now is government spending.
00:32:37.780 You add on 5% more, and we're at 40%. Now, as the government always does, and it tries to spend
00:32:44.100 more and take over more responsibilities in Canadian life, we are getting very close to being at that 45,
00:32:49.700 50% threshold, where the vast majority of spending that happens in the economy is government controlled,
00:32:56.260 government run, as well as once you get UBI, it would be almost impossible to get rid of it,
00:33:02.100 because you have created a class of people. And it's not just always saying lower income people
00:33:06.420 are going to want, there's going to be a lot of lower income people I can guarantee who understand
00:33:10.100 the poison pill of UBI. The thing is, you're going to get a lot of people who are comfortable with it.
00:33:14.900 Well, of course, I deserve this $10,000 a year, I eat, sleep and breathe, of course,
00:33:18.820 I deserve $10,000 a year, and that they're going to be basically pushing for they would not allow
00:33:25.300 anyone to get rid of it. And then you're going to have a bureaucracy in place who is never going to
00:33:29.860 go away, it would probably be its own department of UBI, we'd probably have a Minister of Basic Income
00:33:35.300 that would be or Secretary of Basic Income that'd be attached to the Finance Minister. And again,
00:33:39.700 once you have UBI, you can get you can jam through a lot of other redistributionary policies,
00:33:44.420 because you have the you have the infrastructure to do so. That would be the time where you could
00:33:48.980 have a wealth tax, that'd be the time where you can have a death tax that's extremely enforceable,
00:33:53.780 because the government can drop money into your bank account every single year. I guarantee this
00:33:59.380 would be their push for central bank digital currency. Well, why have to send people checks in
00:34:04.260 the mail, when we can just give have a central bank digital currency account for every Canadian who
00:34:10.100 gets UBI and that you get to hook yourself up to this account so you can get your $10,000. And so
00:34:15.300 if you want your money, then you have to give the government far more control and oversight over
00:34:20.340 your accounts and how what you spend and then they can get to the point and I'm not trying to be
00:34:24.740 conspiratorial. Maybe they don't do this at all. Maybe it's that never happens. Maybe it happens the
00:34:29.540 first year they do it, they immediately try and roll a CBDC. At the same time, my thing, and this would
00:34:35.700 probably be Daniel Boardman as well, is that you don't give the government tools that any
00:34:41.540 any person with a lukewarm IQ could think of so many ways of exploiting it. That's just not,
00:34:45.940 you don't do that with the government. You wouldn't do that with your neighbor, so you don't do that
00:34:49.700 with the government. You don't exactly pass your house keys around to random people on the street
00:34:54.180 that you don't know. You wouldn't give your bank account login information to random people in the
00:34:58.500 government. But that's what a CBDC would effectively do. Live laugh. Yeah, you are
00:35:09.140 you are what Albert needs. Thank you live. I hope you win. Signal Hill, right? Yes,
00:35:12.660 I am running for the Calgary Signal Hill conservative party nomination. I guarantee
00:35:16.900 at least one of you lives in the riding here. So if you do make sure you have your membership.
00:35:21.460 It's a crazy race. I'm not even kidding. And maybe this is a bit of a tangent I can follow for
00:35:25.540 a second. I'm being labeled as the fringe guy in the race. And it's because I'm in favor of
00:35:30.820 parental rights. The problem you have with strong conservative ridings is that sometimes you have
00:35:36.500 the actual real conservatives in the riding get complacent thinking it's a strong riding.
00:35:40.740 Why sit on the boards? Why engage too much with the party? Because we're going to win this riding
00:35:45.380 every single time. Mind your amount. I look 12. Yes, I do look 12. I am 24. So you at least got half
00:35:52.340 of my age, right? But the problem we end up with getting with these strong ridings is you get a lot
00:35:56.500 of people who get on the boards who are not conservative, but I like say is they have HOA
00:36:01.060 kind of personalities, you know, you know, housing boards and whatnot. They like being on boards.
00:36:05.780 So you get a lot of people who don't actually have any, they don't really have any conservative
00:36:10.980 principles, but they end up sitting on these conservative organizations because they just,
00:36:15.380 if the liberals had a better chance or the NDP or the Greens had a better chance of winning the
00:36:18.980 riding, they would have probably have gotten onto the green party EDA or the liberal EDA.
00:36:24.340 They just like being in administrative positions. It's a personality. Some people have, and these
00:36:29.780 people end up having very liberal pains about things because they don't have any particular
00:36:34.820 principles. They watch a lot of CTV news. And so anything that's controversial, they don't like
00:36:39.700 because they have managerial corporate personalities and they don't like anything that rustles anyone's
00:36:44.740 feathers. So they will get mad at you for taking any strong positions on anything. And that is why
00:36:49.620 I am considered far right in the race, because I think parents should be raising the kids, not random
00:36:54.580 teachers at their school. That's what makes me somehow a bad person. Mind your mount. I don't know why
00:37:02.180 you're even asking me this. Anyways, the old man's sweater does help.
00:37:14.740 Sorry, I'm trying to find old comments.
00:37:19.060 But the sad thing about UBI, I'm not going to try and go on this for too long, is that
00:37:25.380 I think that, and someone sort of alluded to this in chat, I think UBI over time is kind of the sad arc
00:37:31.860 of a lot of Western civilization, of people giving up freedom, giving up the chance to do it themselves,
00:37:39.220 start your own business, or work as an employee and climb up the ladder, or find some creative
00:37:44.580 thing you can do in order to make your way in the world. And that there's a lot more people who are
00:37:52.820 wanting just the warm bath solution. They don't want to do too much. They just want a warm bath to sit in
00:37:58.820 that's nice and comfortable. And that's really it.
00:38:05.300 I don't know really why you care so much. Yeah, I do live with my mom, because have you seen the
00:38:10.500 housing market right now? It's not exactly fantastic out there. I'm not going to, especially because I'm
00:38:15.060 being sued, I could easily go and move into my own place. But when you've lost $25,000 from a Chinese
00:38:20.900 billionaire suing you, and then another person suing me that costs $5,000, you tend to not actually be able
00:38:26.900 to afford an apartment on your own. So I'm not sure what you're going to, the braces give it away.
00:38:34.100 I don't have braces. Whatever. I do like you here, mind. It's good questions. But so yeah, like the thing
00:38:42.820 with UBI is that it's just such a, it's too tempting for a lot of people that you can just get $10,000 a month.
00:38:49.860 It's like CERP. And I keep hearing this from people. UBI won't make anyone quit their job. We've studied it.
00:38:55.060 And I hate people when they come at you and hear like, what, like, oh, that's like, oh,
00:38:59.700 I have a study here that tells you why this like UBI is fantastic and no one would quit their job.
00:39:04.900 I swear to you, I was in a master's level class. And again, that's also another reason
00:39:09.940 to mind your mouth, why I can't exactly own my own house right now. I had to pay
00:39:14.740 about $30,000 to get my master's degree in public policy. But I literally had in my graduate class,
00:39:21.940 a professor almost get mad at me. It seemed like they're mad at me. I was asking a genuine question.
00:39:26.260 They got mad at me for implying that welfare programs might need to be tinkered with to make sure
00:39:31.140 you don't incentivize people to stay off of work or you don't incentivize people to not get jobs.
00:39:37.540 She got like ticked at me and said, there's no evidence that people who are in welfare do not want
00:39:42.020 to work because we survey them and they say they want to work. I guarantee a lot of people on welfare
00:39:46.340 do want jobs again. But we all know there are individuals in our own lives we can name who just
00:39:51.940 sit around on welfare and never actually get jobs. They just think that they think that's like,
00:39:58.500 like, you know, we would think that would be a bad lifestyle, but they're good enough with it.
00:40:03.940 Anyways, I'm getting the feeling that mind your mouth, some sort of PPC guy, I wonder when he's
00:40:08.740 going to tell me that I'm a bad person for not liking Jerry and McKenzie. So but yeah, and that's the
00:40:13.940 thing with UBI. I had a guy the other day say, there's no evidence that UBI would make people
00:40:17.460 quit their jobs. I'm like, obviously, UBI wouldn't make you quit your job. It's only $10,000 a year.
00:40:22.420 At the same time, there are they will be and you can't be shocked by people who are wage workers
00:40:28.180 or people who will cut themselves back to working part time only 25 hours a week. And this is where
00:40:34.180 UBI is obviously, I think a branch of the anti work movement, there will be a group of people who just
00:40:39.940 cut back hours, and they don't work. They don't work as much because, hey, I can, you know, work
00:40:46.020 part time, make $20,000 in a year, and then I can get another 10,000. I'm comfortable enough.
00:40:50.420 And while we might sit around here thinking that, well, that wouldn't be a great lifestyle to live,
00:40:55.860 you can barely save any money after you pay for your apartment's rent and whatnot, people will do
00:41:00.260 that. Bad incentives will still be like some people will still be gravitated towards. Oh, so some
00:41:06.580 people will still gravitate towards bad incentives. It can't be surprised. I am a reformed liberal.
00:41:12.820 I don't even know what that means mind. But I like the weird story that's unfolding in the comment
00:41:18.020 section with you. But yeah, so there's so many people saying like wouldn't get people to stop
00:41:22.340 working. I have a study to show you that actually UBI is fantastic. No, like, obviously, like, no,
00:41:28.420 I can show you studies all day long, too, that show that UBI is damaging. Finland just got rid of its
00:41:33.060 UBI program. I would love to see how much to scratching clawing their politicians had to do
00:41:37.380 to get rid of it. But yeah, like, it's the same thing with CERB. I knew tons of people I was working
00:41:42.740 with in the retail store I used to work. I used to work at a wine store. I worked there five years
00:41:47.460 straight. I never stopped working. Obviously, some small vacations here and there. I never stopped
00:41:52.100 working the entire time. We could barely hold on to employees for about six months to a year. I think
00:41:56.740 I was impressed that someone made it to two years at one point. But the problem was, as soon as CERB
00:42:01.700 came around, there was a bunch of people not in our specific branch, because it's such a tiny store,
00:42:05.460 I think everyone would have felt bad if they left. Oh, tons of other stores in the branch of our chain.
00:42:10.660 People just leave to go work to go live off of CERB. And I was told by everyone CERB isn't going to make
00:42:15.380 people to make people quit their jobs. The only reason they're quitting their jobs is because they
00:42:20.100 might be in danger from COVID. Like these are 20 year olds, these are 22 year olds, they're not,
00:42:24.900 they're doing it because they make the CERB was too big of an incentive to not work. So then we ended up
00:42:30.580 inflating the crap out of the economy with less productivity. We incentivize people to be less
00:42:36.100 productive. And that is what UBI is. It is saying that you should, you don't have to work, you don't
00:42:41.380 have to be as productive in order to live. And you can say, well, you shouldn't have to be a productive
00:42:46.020 field. Food and housing should be a human right. It's not, I'm sorry, you might have to work a little
00:42:52.180 bit in your life to not, you know, fall into starvation. I don't know why this is some weird value
00:42:57.460 where you have to not actually like, I'm not sure why you have like, sorry, I'm reading something
00:43:04.420 here. Prices are so high and housing is so high because we print too much money making it valueless.
00:43:09.300 Sort of housing was also already way too high in certain localities because we restricted the
00:43:15.940 building of houses. Vancouver is a basket case for this reason. The worst in the world is probably San
00:43:22.260 Francisco. There are so much land around the, around San Francisco and almost a donut shape.
00:43:27.940 You're not allowed to build any houses there. I think they like maybe have put maybe an extra
00:43:32.740 kilometer or two of a, of a square kilometer or two of like property on the market for building.
00:43:38.900 They do not allow any new building in San Francisco. So obviously what has resulted is that each piece of
00:43:45.460 property in the city of San Francisco's like city limits has skyrocketed in price because you,
00:43:51.300 it's just supply and demand. So part of it's the money printing, part of it's taxes, part of it's
00:43:55.460 building regulations. But a big part of it is building crews having to wait around while government
00:44:01.780 boards, while counselors, while sort of different housing authorities or like property use authorities
00:44:06.420 or whatever, tell you when you're actually allowed to break ground and build houses. There's so much
00:44:10.900 waiting around time that nobody, that developers just give up on a lot of jurisdictions or they
00:44:15.940 have to increase the price of a house by like a couple hundred thousand dollars more than it should
00:44:20.020 be because it took them several more months to build it than it would have taken if it was a much more,
00:44:26.260 not in a bad way, I was going to say blase, that makes it sound bad, but if it was a much looser
00:44:30.820 restrictions on building houses, housing prices would collapse in a good way since they would probably
00:44:36.020 like contract by like 20% over time because more houses are on the market. So each house is worth
00:44:41.940 less in a good way. Cause I think housing like, yeah, you might be sitting on a bunch of property
00:44:47.220 and you don't want your property values to go down, but at some point it does have to happen. It's like
00:44:52.980 it almost takes to start staying. It's almost like it starts becoming like crypto bros talking about how
00:44:59.300 talking about the value of their stuff. It just becomes almost a pure investment industry rather than what
00:45:04.900 housing should be is that housing is for housing. And then secondly, it's for investment right now.
00:45:09.460 It's almost a pure investment, uh, area. Um, anyways, I maybe don't want to talk too much more about UBI.
00:45:16.980 If you have any questions about UBI, you want me to ramble on about it more perfectly fine.
00:45:21.380 Uh, so I want to maybe go and jump over to this other guy. I want to talk about today.
00:45:27.140 His name is JB, uh, Canadian politics. He has blocked me on, on Twitter.
00:45:36.900 I did a video actually the other day talking about him already. Uh, but that one's not out yet because
00:45:45.380 I did it with Chris from, uh, the great Canadian bagel podcast as well as Russell from the Canadian
00:45:51.060 conservative podcast. The video is not out yet, but we reacted to his video claiming that polling
00:45:55.700 doesn't matter. And it was the most blatant form of liberal cope that as soon as the polls started
00:46:02.100 souring on Trudeau, this guy pumped out a video talking about how actually polls never matter and
00:46:08.580 that the conservatives are probably still not going to win because majority governments are rare in
00:46:12.980 Canada. He actually said that, which if you have, again, an IQ above 90, you know that most governments
00:46:20.100 in Canadian history have been majorities in some eras in the past 30 years, it's maybe been a little
00:46:26.180 bit more 50, 50, but it's actually still been mostly conservative governments or not conservative
00:46:31.220 governments, majority governments. He started referring to them as super majorities, which
00:46:35.140 aren't a thing in Canadian politics. And this is what I mean, where this guy reminds me of so many
00:46:40.260 people I went to, I went to university with very liberal guys that have a know-it-all personality,
00:46:48.900 but it felt like they got all of their politics from listening to Jon Stewart and Jon Oliver,
00:46:54.340 that they get all their, their knowledge from listening to late night shows in the US. So they
00:47:00.260 end up throwing around a lot of terms that are, don't actually apply to Canada. And that they think
00:47:05.300 that if they can just correct you on like tiny, they can nitpick your arguments and they can find
00:47:10.420 tiny little errors, that it means that they don't have to listen to you. But he, yeah,
00:47:15.380 I really dislike Jon Oliver too. Jon Oliver has made a couple good episodes of a show,
00:47:20.500 but that was like eight years ago. These days, he's just insufferable. I want to just quickly,
00:47:26.980 yeah, I want to quickly jump over to his YouTube channel. I just want to read you the titles of these
00:47:30.180 videos. One of his most recent ones is just very embarrassing. So this one is Kwanzaa isn't real,
00:47:37.460 according to conservatives on Twitter. This, this is an actual video this man made. I did not wrestle
00:47:42.660 him down. He, he actually made this video like that Kwanzaa isn't real, according to conservatives
00:47:49.620 on Twitter. Kwanzaa isn't a real holiday. It's a holiday. I'm not even kidding, made by a black
00:47:56.340 nationalist communist. It is a holiday meant for African-American communists. That is a fake
00:48:03.060 holiday. It was invented to just spite Christmas by being around the Christmas holiday. It's
00:48:08.340 completely absurd. But a lot of his content is just like trying to prove that the conservatives are
00:48:14.980 lying to you or that, oh, like, you know, like the conservatives say this, but it's actually this
00:48:21.140 other thing. Whether he actually knows a thing or two about the subject matter or not,
00:48:25.460 he'll just kind of, I don't know, he just has this idea that conservatives must be somehow wrong about
00:48:32.020 everything. So like, like I'm trying to, I'm sort of losing my thought pattern here, but it's the
00:48:39.220 conservatives must be wrong. He starts with the conclusion that the conservatives are wrong.
00:48:43.220 And so he'll go into a subject matter trying to prove it without the actual factual, like without
00:48:49.700 being equipped with any facts to actually prove his case. And I think the best one, the best example I have
00:48:55.220 here, I might watch a couple of his videos along with you guys, but the best example I have is this
00:49:00.260 great one where he talks about how like pure poly doesn't have a plan. It's only four minutes and 24
00:49:06.740 seconds. The scary thing about this guy is he only has like 176 subscribers, but if you actually go to
00:49:13.540 his TikTok, his, his, his, uh, TikTok following is quite remarkable. I'll just quickly look at it here.
00:49:19.940 I'll just tell you what he has. So he has 157,000 followers on TikTok, 3.1 million people have liked
00:49:26.980 his content. And a lot of his stuff is just like counterfactual. He made a whole video on how everyone's
00:49:34.500 freaking out about C11. And like I said before, every video he makes, it's from the perspective that the
00:49:40.500 conservatives are somehow wrong and that everyone who disagrees with him is a conservative. I give
00:49:45.220 him the fact that he is somewhat charismatic on camera and he looks like he makes good video content.
00:49:50.660 That's also concerning because the fact that he pushes so much misinformation, uh, is a bit
00:49:56.260 concerning that kids are consuming this stuff. And this is where they're potentially getting their
00:50:00.900 101 conservative, like political information from. He's acting like he's almost a teacher and he does
00:50:06.820 talk like a guy who is giving a presentation in some sort of university class about like ideologies
00:50:13.380 or whatever. Um, but what I want to do now is just quickly cut over to this poly of his lying or he
00:50:20.900 has no plan video. It's well, you'll, you'll know what I mean. When you start watching this, it's he reached
00:50:26.580 the conclusion that, that somehow the conservatives are bad and he quickly shows that he doesn't actually
00:50:31.140 know anything about Canadian politics. So without further ado. The conservative party of Canada
00:50:37.940 doesn't have a plan. Now I know that's a little bit of a broad thing to say because you can sit
00:50:43.220 here and look at what Pierre Polyeva is doing and touring across the country with this axe the tax
00:50:49.380 campaign that he's doing. And you think, wow, he's got a plan or you might think he actually has a plan
00:50:54.980 for Canada, which on paper it might. Does this guy think, and this is where I immediately think that he
00:51:00.340 must not actually watch any rally videos with Pierre Polyev. He must not actually watch any
00:51:06.180 content involving Pierre Polyev. The man does actually have a plan. And I'm not just saying
00:51:10.820 this because I'm running for a conservative party nomination. And while I have to say the leader's
00:51:14.740 doing a good job, when you go to his rallies, it is, here's something that the liberals aren't doing
00:51:19.780 and here's why I wouldn't do it. Or here's what I would replace it with. Here's what I would repeal.
00:51:23.860 And you can't just say, well, that's not a plan. He's just saying things that he's against.
00:51:27.540 One, he does say things he's in favor of. Also, with the amount of problems Canada has,
00:51:32.500 I'm sorry to tell this guy, a lot of the problems do involve stopping the government from doing things
00:51:37.380 that they shouldn't be doing. That's just blatantly true that most of the problems Canada has is not
00:51:43.220 because we're not doing enough, it's because we're doing too much. Cutting the carbon tax,
00:51:47.060 cutting income taxes, cutting wasteful spending, and doing a lot of other stuff to gird up Canadians'
00:51:52.100 freedoms is indeed a plan. But sorry, I won't step on his toes too much here.
00:51:56.980 He's got a plan, or you might think he actually has a plan for Canada, which on paper, it might look
00:52:02.500 that way, but looks can be deceiving. One of the ways we can determine what a party's plan is,
00:52:07.700 is by looking at their policy documents. Now, every party has policy documents out. They're very long
00:52:13.540 and very detailed plans about how they are. He's quickly going to prove to you he has not read any of
00:52:19.460 them. They're going to execute what they want if they were elected or if they are the government.
00:52:25.060 When we take a look at the current Liberal government's plan after they won re-election
00:52:28.420 in 2021, we can see that there's almost 100 pages long of content that's two columns wide and 12 point
00:52:36.580 font. There is a lot to go through here. There is a lot of detail and there is, you know, clearly a plan
00:52:44.180 that the Liberals have. Now, whether or not you agree with the Liberal Party. I find that just absurd,
00:52:49.700 that he just scrolls through a long document, the Liberal Party's 2021 platform, and just says,
00:52:58.020 this is proof that they had a plan. And I'm not denying that Liberals don't have a plan.
00:53:02.260 But he will quickly contradict himself by pretending that in the 2021 election,
00:53:07.620 the Conservatives must have not had a plan or that Conservatives are like anti-having plans.
00:53:12.820 But the naivete of a man who just looks that, hey, look, the Liberals have a platform right here.
00:53:18.260 That means that they have a plan that they were going to execute. Do you think that if we scrolled
00:53:23.780 through, and I can guarantee this, if we scroll through the 2021 Liberal, like the Liberal platform,
00:53:32.100 do you think that there are a lot of things that the Liberals have not done anything about yet?
00:53:36.660 I can guarantee it. That's the thing I actually don't like about a lot of polarity platforms.
00:53:40.580 There are like 50 pages of things they're mostly not going to do.
00:53:44.020 Justin Trudeau has not done many of the things in his platform. Even the NDP has kind of proven this,
00:53:49.060 that between elections, and I obviously think that the NDP are absurd as well as the Liberals,
00:53:54.980 but the NDP pointed out that they actually kept removing, since 2015, they removed Universal Dental
00:54:00.900 as an aspect of their platform, and they kind of had to be wrangled into it after the 2021 election.
00:54:06.020 The Liberals probably won it anyways. They probably didn't think that they could get
00:54:09.540 away with it in the 2021 election. It might have been still in the 2021 platform, but
00:54:13.780 there was like, between elections, they do a lot of tinkering with their platforms. So you would
00:54:19.220 wonder, wait, did 2019's platform mean nothing, since it isn't exactly like the 2021 platform?
00:54:26.260 That's the problem with platforms, is that it's just a momentary, very vague promise that they're
00:54:31.700 going to do stuff. I even have a problem with the way Daniel Smith ran the 2023 Alberta provincial
00:54:36.980 campaign, because she promised income tax cuts, and right now it feels like the government's trying
00:54:41.860 to delay doing the cuts. I guess you could say that as long as she does it in the next four years,
00:54:45.940 it's a promise made, promise kept. But I think that the promise was kind of implied that it was going
00:54:50.740 to be somewhat immediate that they were going to cut taxes. But according to JB over at Canada
00:54:58.180 Politics 101, the Liberals have plans, but Pure Polyev doesn't, if you're just tuning in now.
00:55:02.660 There is a lot to go through here. There is a lot of detail, and there is, you know, clearly a plan.
00:55:09.620 I hate the idea that detail means something is, like, planful and sophisticated. It's really not.
00:55:17.380 Honestly, I find the more detail you put into a policy playbook, the more you're often trying to
00:55:22.580 hide from normal voters, because are they really going to read the 50 page plan? Are they going to hold
00:55:28.020 you at every single bullet point of it? No. And oftentimes when a platform's that bloated,
00:55:32.900 a lot of the promises start to contradict or, like, you know, neutralize each other. That two
00:55:38.980 pieces of spending obviously are not going to be passed in the same budget, so one's going to win
00:55:42.580 out over the other. But I guess this guy's, like, 100% anti-skeptical against anything the Liberals
00:55:48.580 say, but completely skeptical whenever a conservative says the same sort of thing.
00:55:53.620 True here. There is a lot of detail, and there is, you know, clearly a plan that the Liberals
00:56:00.500 have. Now, whether or not you agree with the Liberal Party's plan is not what we're talking
00:56:04.820 about here. But by comparison, we need to look at the Conservative Party's plan and break it down.
00:56:10.580 Because Pierre Polyev stands up all the time and says he's going to do all these things,
00:56:14.900 but how is he actually going to implement that?
00:56:17.460 Sorry, but him standing up and saying he's going to do all these things,
00:56:20.500 doesn't that imply he has a plan? Or isn't that a plan? Because he's saying he's going to do
00:56:24.660 something, which is a plan. Or does it have to be in black and white, like,
00:56:29.300 black and white on a piece of paper? It doesn't count.
00:56:32.020 So when we finally find the Conservative Party plan on their website, which was
00:56:36.820 deep inside their website, we find it and it's called the Conservative Party of Canada's policy
00:56:42.340 declaration.
00:56:43.060 This is not actually the Conservative Party's platform. Here, this man, without no shock,
00:56:49.940 is getting something deeply wrong. The Conservative Party policy declaration is something that every
00:56:56.340 party has. It is every single thing that the party, unless it's been repealed, has passed at past AGMs.
00:57:04.660 This is what the members voted on. And so it was added to the policy declaration. And he's about to go
00:57:10.500 into how it's vague and there's no plan here because it's just a bunch of vague, aspirational
00:57:16.980 type goals. I'm like, yes, that's the point of the policy declaration. It's general goals that the
00:57:23.860 party members want to reach that then influences the next elections party platform.
00:57:31.620 But like, I guess he's going to use this as a gotcha. When I could go find the Liberal Party's
00:57:36.500 policy declaration. And do you know why it's hard to find? It's not because they're hiding it from
00:57:40.660 you, JB. It's because it's a very boring, esoteric document that doesn't mean anything to anyone who's
00:57:46.980 not a party insider. Most people do not read the party policy declaration because it doesn't mean
00:57:53.860 anything to them until the party's platform is out. It's a weird thing to think that that
00:58:01.380 implies anything, that it was hard to find the policy declaration. I've had to read the policy
00:58:04.820 declaration as a candidate for my nomination so I could like attest to what I agree with,
00:58:09.620 what I do not agree with in the party platform, obviously being conservative. There's like pretty
00:58:14.340 much nothing I would disagree with overall because most of the time the policy declaration is meant
00:58:19.700 to not be disagreeable to anyone who's a general conservative. It's never like you have to be
00:58:24.420 a red Tory or you have to be super blue Tory in the party. It's very vague, aspirational stuff.
00:58:31.140 Anyways, sorry. That's just so absurd that he thinks that this is a point.
00:58:35.540 Website. We find it and it's called the Conservative Party of Canada's policy declaration,
00:58:40.420 kind of implying that they never had policies before, but I digress.
00:58:44.100 This has always existed. What do you mean that they implied that they didn't have policies before?
00:58:49.540 This document exists in every party and it is amended and reposted after every AGM.
00:58:55.060 And when we scroll through this plan, as you're seeing on the screen, there is a table of contents
00:59:00.020 that, you know, has, you know, what everything that they're talking about. And you would think here
00:59:05.380 that there is a lot to go over such as like mental health, maternity health,
00:59:09.460 you know, social policies, student loans, you would think, wow, this is really detailed,
00:59:13.940 but when you actually go down. No, you wouldn't think that if you actually knew what a policy
00:59:17.620 declaration is, you would think that these are going to be bullet pointed, aspirational goals that the
00:59:23.060 Conservative members voted on, just as Liberal and NDP members also vote on aspirational,
00:59:29.540 vague goals that then the party itself can detail into platform points for the next election. They
00:59:36.020 can also ignore certain things that they don't want to run on it. Just how party politics works,
00:59:39.940 but I guess that's a conspiracy in this guy's mind.
00:59:42.580 On to the actual policies, the things that they want to implement, there is just paragraphs,
00:59:49.780 like number three, just public service excellence. It's a paragraph. Everything is just one to two
00:59:56.660 paragraphs about, you know, this thing that they're talking about. And a lot of it's like,
01:00:01.300 we support, or we believe, or various... Yeah, are you noticing that this is not
01:00:08.260 a platform point? This is not a platform where they're saying, we will do this. When you read
01:00:13.700 platforms, it will start to say, a Conservative government will do this. It's saying, we believe,
01:00:20.740 because it's supposed to be vague. If you've ever taken part in a policy process, you're not supposed
01:00:26.340 to say, we will do, because that's a way too hard and fast way of creating general party policy stances.
01:00:34.500 These are basically stances. They're not the policy, but this is generally how the party will
01:00:39.300 stand on an area of policy. But I don't know. Hopefully, he'll figure it out by the end of
01:00:44.260 this video. He has two minutes to figure it out still. Broad statements to sort of imply that they
01:00:49.620 are going to do something. But when you actually read this, there's no plan of how they're actually
01:00:54.580 going to execute it. It's all a bunch of beliefs and ideas, but not any sort of plans.
01:00:59.780 Yes, it is the stances on different areas of policy. It is the beliefs of the party.
01:01:07.940 For instance, the big talk in Canada right now is housing. So when we go to the Liberal Party's
01:01:13.060 plan and we type housing, there are 76 mentions of the word housing in various different terms.
01:01:20.020 Because you're reading the Liberal platform, but you're not reading the Conservative platform.
01:01:25.540 Like, I'm not the biggest fan of Aaron O'Toole and his embarrassing weird magazine cover platform.
01:01:33.300 I have it up here on my other screen. You can believe me. If you don't believe me,
01:01:37.620 you can go look it up yourself. I just don't want to have to switch screens.
01:01:40.020 There are 31 instances of the word housing being used in the Conservative Party platform. There are 69
01:01:45.460 instances of the word home. There are 10 instances of the word drug. There are a lot of actual detail
01:01:54.100 policies. I didn't like O'Toole's 2021 platform because it was a mixture of somewhat conservative
01:01:59.060 policy and very center-left muddled Liberal policy. It was bad. But he's like comparing,
01:02:05.780 this is the most apples to oranges, this is the most apples to hand grenades comparison I've ever heard,
01:02:11.620 that he'll take the 2021 Liberal platform and then compare it to the Conservative policy declaration.
01:02:18.180 I could compare the 2021 platform from O'Toole and compare it to the Liberal policy declaration.
01:02:25.220 And then they would look like a bunch of simpletons who won't say what they believe on different
01:02:28.980 policies. And here's, and maybe I'll wait for the end of the video because this is another point where
01:02:34.180 he just somehow has gone completely over his head.
01:02:36.740 And you can see when you actually go through it, it's talking about the implementation of,
01:02:45.140 say, the first time home buyers tax credits or savings accounts, or, you know, reducing down
01:02:50.900 payments and how much they're investing in building homes.
01:02:55.220 I hated, as everyone else did, I actually left Ron Liepert's board in Calgary Signal Hill,
01:03:01.860 the EDA board, because I couldn't stand the fact that he was 100% on board with O'Toole's
01:03:06.420 carbon tax plan and then kind of mocked me for it. But where does he think that the
01:03:11.540 carbon tax plan O'Toole ran on was posted? It was in the platform. Does this guy, this guy even
01:03:18.900 think about where some of the big Conservative promises from 2021 were posted? It wasn't in
01:03:23.860 the policy declaration, which he thinks was only created like a year ago when the last Conservative
01:03:28.580 AGM took place. He, for some reason, or I think it was this year, I guess. But like,
01:03:32.500 for some reason, he thinks that the policy declaration is not only brand new, that only
01:03:38.260 became invented under Polyev, but he somehow has retconned the past Conservative platforms
01:03:46.180 since before Pierre out of existence. Or at least he thinks that somehow Polyev is not going to release
01:03:52.020 a platform based on nothing. Because this is kind of the point we'll get to later. No party releases
01:03:57.620 their platform this early. You just don't do it. You don't know what the issues that voters want to
01:04:02.100 hear about. And you don't just put out a platform that just speaks to a bunch of momentary issues
01:04:07.140 that in two years, people are going to wonder why you're, why you're loading your platform up with.
01:04:11.460 Anyways, sorry, moving on.
01:04:14.580 Party policy shows what they are actually going to do. Now, when we go to the Conservative Party's
01:04:19.700 policy declaration, we type housing, housing comes up eight times, and two of which are in the,
01:04:24.820 in the table of content. Yeah, it's the party policy declaration.
01:04:29.460 And when we get to the actual policy about, or policy about housing, it's number 105,
01:04:35.780 and it is one, two, three, four, five paragraphs, and three of them you could argue aren't even
01:04:40.820 paragraphs, but are more sentences. It's we believe, we believe, we believe nothing in their housing and
01:04:46.820 homelessness section indicates anything they're actually going to do. Now, I'm not making any of this
01:04:52.100 up. You can go look at this stuff yourself. You don't, you don't need to trust me. You can actually
01:04:57.300 go look at what I'm talking about for your own very eyes. So when we say that Pierre Polyev
01:05:02.660 truly doesn't have a plan for Canada. I'm not saying that just because I don't like the guy
01:05:08.100 or support the guy. I'm saying it because when I looked at their policy declaration, there's no plan.
01:05:13.780 It's just... Sir, you obviously, this guy clearly hates Polyev. You don't make a video
01:05:20.020 this badly researched, ripping on Pierre Polyev, unless you have obvious anims against him.
01:05:25.300 And when his new videos are about how conservatives don't believe Kwan's is a real holiday, it's not a
01:05:30.980 real holiday. But when his videos are like that, it's obviously he is a liberal partisan, and there's
01:05:35.700 nothing wrong with it. I'd actually talk to him maybe. I'd buy him an Appletini or whatever, and we
01:05:40.980 could talk about politics. But I don't like this crap. And it seeps into left-wing political
01:05:47.540 discourse on YouTube is that they, even if they're not legacy media, like obviously CTV News, CBC,
01:05:54.500 Global do this all the time. They're perfectly objective. And if you think they're liberal shills,
01:05:59.060 then that's your fault somehow. But even liberal YouTubers who shouldn't have any problem just saying,
01:06:06.020 yeah, I'm more liberal, they still won't say it because somehow they believe that they're more high
01:06:10.340 and lifted, more higher and lifted up than you. And that they are, they're too, they're too pure
01:06:16.020 to be partisan the way you are. They're just coming to their, their beliefs from objective
01:06:20.340 conclusions. This guy right here can't even read a flipping document, right? He thinks the policy
01:06:25.220 declaration from the CV, from the, from the conservative party is the same thing as their
01:06:29.300 platform. And then he reads the liberal platform as if it's like a counter to the, to the conservative
01:06:34.900 policy declaration proves how much more detailed and thoughtful Justin Trudeau is. He's truly a
01:06:40.420 scholar of the people. At the same time, he forgets that the conservatives also released in the same
01:06:46.420 year of that 2021 liberal platform, they also released their own platform under O'Toole. It'll
01:06:51.380 make your eyes bleed because it's not conservative at all. And O'Toole was incompetent, but the conservatives
01:06:56.260 had a platform, but according to this guy, it doesn't exist if he didn't, if his,
01:07:01.700 if he didn't consider it, it's wrong. Sorry, I'm going to go back a little bit there.
01:07:08.180 I'm saying that just because I don't like the guy or support the guy. I'm saying it because when I
01:07:12.420 look at their policy declaration, there's no plan. It's just thoughts. We think this is going to be
01:07:19.540 important, not we are actually going to do this if you were to vote for us. So as we go to vote in about
01:07:25.300 a year and a half, this is something that you need to look at because these candidates can stand up here
01:07:29.620 and say all these pretty things with all the right buzzwords. But when you actually break down the
01:07:34.020 thing they are going to use to execute the plan, once they are elected, the conservatives don't
01:07:39.700 even have it written out. They just have a lot of beliefs and thoughts. And it goes back to the old
01:07:44.500 adage. You can polish a turd all you want. Doesn't mean it's not a turd. Take it.
01:07:49.380 Man, honestly, if you're ever going onto YouTube and trying to make videos, I'm not perfect,
01:07:57.300 obviously. You've just watched this live stream and I stumble all the time while I talk and I lose my
01:08:01.460 train of thought. But I hate this way that a lot of YouTubers do this soft, I'm never going to do
01:08:11.700 a Minecraft stream. Sorry, BL to disappoint me. Sorry that I saw that out of the corner of my eye. Also,
01:08:16.660 sorry, before I move on to my thing. Cryptomeria. Don't shame me by trying to apply to the CBC.
01:08:23.060 I do not shame you because I'd actually like conservatives to secretly infiltrate the CBC
01:08:27.780 until we defund it. Because you got to get into the CBC to get your taxpayer money back. At least
01:08:33.300 I know the money is going to a conservative. So I endorse any conservative here applying to the CBC
01:08:38.260 if you happen to be able to, you can swing it somehow. But anyways, this guy, I hate the way people
01:08:46.260 talk like this in political videos or just anything. Just soft spoken. And the conservatives
01:08:52.580 say they have a plan. But when you actually go online, you can't find anything. I have to
01:08:57.220 dig a lot to find this. And it's just full of beliefs. But you don't have to like the liberals,
01:09:02.500 but they put all their stuff out in bullet points and in margins. And you don't have to agree with the
01:09:08.420 plan. But they definitely have a plan. Like the guy, it's like, I hate the style of guy who's
01:09:14.820 talking down to you. While he also has no clue what he's talking about. And I keep saying this,
01:09:20.980 he reminds me of so many people, I went to university with people who are going to come
01:09:25.780 up to you and say, Well, have you seen the conservative plan, just a bunch of beliefs on
01:09:30.340 their policy declaration. And you're like, you realize the policy declaration is not the platform.
01:09:34.500 And they're like, Where's the platform? I haven't seen the platform. And they don't know anything.
01:09:38.580 They just simply have two misremembered non facts. And they come at you pretending as if
01:09:46.020 somehow they know a little bit more than you because they've already decided they're right.
01:09:49.620 So this guy, and this is all of his videos, I'll keep playing some more of these things.
01:09:54.580 Uh, this is all this video, it's half remembered crap. Masquerading as if he's intellectual.
01:10:02.420 Um, he has this weird series where he's like emailing every single MP to get them to like,
01:10:06.980 agree to change the voting system. Uh, not to disappoint this guy, but the liberals themselves
01:10:11.700 do not want to change the voting system despite promising to. Where's he at? Where's he freaking
01:10:16.420 out that the liberals didn't, didn't actually live up to their platform in 2015. He said, Well,
01:10:22.020 you can disagree with them, but they say what they believe and they say what they're going to
01:10:25.300 execute in government. They didn't execute that because it was a lie. It's almost like a lot of
01:10:29.700 political platforms are kind of nonsense. Uh, unless the, the politician themselves has
01:10:34.660 actually proven that that's something they deeply believe in. If the party adds a platform point
01:10:40.980 in the last like few weeks before the election, be very wary that they probably don't believe it.
01:10:46.660 Um, I want to find this Kwanzaa isn't real. I want to do the Kwanzaa isn't real video. I think it's just fun.
01:10:55.860 Um, and again, he has a good style. I could see this guy actually getting popular just based on
01:11:04.500 his setup being very clean. Honestly, from being on YouTube, half of the, the battle is finding a
01:11:12.180 good place in your home that looks somewhat decent to film it because there's so many YouTubers who
01:11:18.100 are conservatives who they're in like a black room and it's like a messy area and they're trying to do
01:11:23.540 like political news. And it's just like, I feel grimy watching their videos. The people I even
01:11:29.220 sometimes watch and they just, I want to come into their home and vacuum because it's, it is,
01:11:34.660 the cluttered space makes it hard for me to focus on what they're saying and doing. So just he,
01:11:39.220 this guy probably could succeed because he has the nice lighting. He has the nice tone of voice.
01:11:44.100 He's very well paced out, better paced than I am. I'm actually fairly jumpy when I speak,
01:11:49.220 but at the same time, like I, I, it's baffling to me, someone who could be so confident saying
01:11:54.900 things that they, it's just not true. I can't really explain any better than that. He just says
01:12:00.900 things that aren't true because he just simply believes that the conservatives are somehow wrong.
01:12:04.900 So he possesses in his mind the correct information. So he's going to get out there and, and, you know,
01:12:12.580 clear people of all these misnomers. At the same time, he just doesn't know basic facts.
01:12:16.900 It's a day that ends in Y, which means that our lovely right flank of our political spectrum
01:12:24.420 here in Canada is angry about something. This time it's over Kwanzaa. Today, December 26,
01:12:30.580 2023 is the first day of Kwanzaa, a holiday that is celebrated by a lot of Pan-African communities.
01:12:38.100 It is very similar to Hanukkah.
01:12:40.100 It's very similar to Hanukkah. That's borderline like anti-Semitic to try to accuse
01:12:47.860 Jewish people of having a holiday as dumb as Kwanzaa. Man, Kwanzaa, and even just say Pan-African,
01:12:55.220 what do you mean by, you mean what black nationalists? That's what Pan-African means.
01:12:59.300 That is like saying that there is a Pan-European holiday. That would be a little, I would be sketched
01:13:04.340 out by anyone pushing a Pan-European holiday. I feel like I might want to check if they have
01:13:09.540 weird tattoos on their head. But no, it's not a holiday. It's like, what's the first day of Kwanzaa?
01:13:15.060 And just to lift that up to a holiday like Hanukkah, which actually has some history to it.
01:13:22.100 I don't celebrate Hanukkah. I'm not Jewish, but it's like saying, if he compares it to Christmas in
01:13:27.380 this video, I'm going to, I'm not going to go ballistic. I'm far too calm of a person,
01:13:31.780 despite seeming jumpy. But at the same time, no, it's not. It's not a holiday. It was invented
01:13:37.380 by, I think, a Berkeley professor in the 1960s as basically like a black communist version of
01:13:45.300 Christmas. It's like you sit around eating collective bowls of corn and some sort of like
01:13:50.500 symbolic coming together of people in a collective or whatever. It's very embarrassing.
01:13:55.700 Uh, Christmas where African communities, uh, it is very similar to Hanukkah and Christmas,
01:14:02.020 where you get together, eat a bunch of food, you have a big, nevermind. He did,
01:14:06.260 he did try and compare it to Christmas. It's not Christmas. There's nothing about it that is
01:14:11.940 Christmas. It is literally invented to spite other Judeo-Christian holidays in the month of December.
01:14:19.620 It is supposed to mock them by putting a communist holiday that they try and make city halls and
01:14:24.980 different governments around the North America. They try and pretend to take like trying to like,
01:14:29.860 they try and like pressure people into taking it seriously. When it is a purely political maneuver
01:14:35.380 to try and make them take this fake holiday seriously.
01:14:38.980 Feast and celebrate with family. And it's, it's the holiday season. It's a part
01:14:43.540 of what we know as the holiday season. It's Kwanzaa. It's Hanukkah. It's Christmas. It's all of them.
01:14:49.220 It's all together. So like any good leader does our prime minister, Justin Trudeau went on Twitter
01:14:54.340 and said, and he, and he prostrated himself in front of the communists because their holidays are
01:14:59.540 deeply important for some reason. What did I want to see? I don't want to read what Justin Trudeau
01:15:04.180 says for the, the, the screens I'm reading off of are actually a bit smaller. So sometimes I have to
01:15:08.180 click between tabs just so I can read stuff better. He said to everyone observing Kwanzaa over the next
01:15:12.820 seven days, embracing its principles and celebrating black communities and culture,
01:15:16.740 have a joyous Kwanzaa, uh, black communities and imagine if you just swap black and for white.
01:15:22.740 And I think we realize that this is a bit of a strange holiday that maybe we shouldn't be
01:15:27.380 embracing at a federal level. Uh, it's principles are also known as socialism. So it's a political
01:15:34.100 holiday. It's not religious in any way. It's not because people have a deep, warm feeling for it,
01:15:39.540 because it's really speaks to their community as a people. No, no, it's literally speaking to a
01:15:45.940 radical left-wing political culture and a skin color. That's a bit of a, sorry, that's a bit of
01:15:51.940 a scary holiday concept that you would be having anybody in your country supporting a holiday
01:15:58.420 because of their race. That's odd to me. To everybody observing Kwanzaa over the next seven days,
01:16:05.140 embracing it. Oh, he read it for me. So I'm just gonna skip ahead five seconds.
01:16:08.020 Yeah. Harmless tweet. Like this is just, you know, showing that Canada is an inclusive place.
01:16:14.580 And we do have a lot of people in Canada that actually celebrate Kwanzaa.
01:16:18.500 But sure enough, if you go to the replies of that tweet, it's exactly what you expect.
01:16:25.140 I hope it is. I hope people made fun of Justin Trudeau mercilessly
01:16:30.020 for celebrating one of the dumbest holidays that was ever invented.
01:16:33.140 No, this kind of happens every time Trudeau tweets anything, if it's good or bad or whatever.
01:16:40.980 What does he define as good? I would love to know what he defines as good. And wouldn't he
01:16:46.020 want to maybe be a little bit more introspective and realize that when your leader is being mobbed
01:16:50.660 every single day on X or Facebook, despite what they say, maybe it's because they have deep personal
01:16:57.220 flaws that they should work on. Obviously, there are sometimes cancel mobs that go after individuals.
01:17:02.820 But when you're at the height of a world leader and you cannot tweet anything without getting ratioed,
01:17:07.940 maybe it's because you call people racist a lot. Maybe it's because you imply everyone who disagrees
01:17:12.260 with you is a bad person and you've been ruining people's businesses, lives and freedom of expression
01:17:17.860 and movement. Maybe it's those things. But BL is not going to think of that because he is Justin Trudeau's
01:17:22.980 number one fan and he could not understand why anyone doesn't like Trudeau outside of soft reasons
01:17:28.420 like, well, this policy hasn't been passed yet. OK, well, that's fine. If you if you like dislike
01:17:33.540 Trudeau for any real reason, then you're wrong, according to this guy, based on all the videos
01:17:38.660 I've watched from him. The replies are always just a complete dumpster fire of people who seemingly want
01:17:45.540 to pay $12.99 a month to let Elon know that they love him more. Oh, you got you guys pay money because
01:17:52.740 you support a free speech platform. What losers are disgusting. You give money to Twitter to to get
01:17:59.220 extra like analytical services and because you support free expression disgusting. And this is
01:18:04.340 like the weird disdain he has for conservatives in a very childish manner. I've never made videos
01:18:11.460 just saying that liberals are losers and look at them saying that Trudeau is great. I'll I'll make
01:18:17.220 fun of the idea that Sean Frazier is like a fantastic replacement for Justin Trudeau. And there's this
01:18:22.020 weird fan cult around Sean Frazier, even though he's failed at every role he's had in government,
01:18:27.700 he literally misplaced a million immigration applications as the Minister of Immigration
01:18:32.660 and like other services. Every minister's title needs to be shortened. I always hate when it's like
01:18:36.820 the Minister of Housing, Communities and Infrastructure. It's like, just make it the Minister of
01:18:40.820 Housing or Minister of Infrastructure. It's annoying. But like this guy just has like a
01:18:45.220 childish disdain for anyone who doesn't like Trudeau or something. But this one is exceptionally funny
01:18:51.380 to me because it's a holiday for a specific group of people who in the past black communists have faced
01:19:01.380 incredible segregation and black communists are not exactly a group with deep histories of oppression
01:19:09.300 because communism is not that new to North America or not that old credible, you know, racism towards
01:19:17.620 their particular culture. And is this guy implying that all black people are communists? Because I hope
01:19:23.300 that he understands that Kwanzaa is a holiday for black communists and is not celebrating anything deeper
01:19:29.780 other than black communism. And of course, the most terrible of people come out of the woodworks
01:19:35.300 and make themselves known in the comments, just like we did the other day with Mark Miller's tweet
01:19:42.340 about Santa Claus. Let's go into the replies from conservatives. Now, I'm assuming they're
01:19:49.620 conservative because they're against Trudeau, but they could be. But who knows? I'm just assuming here
01:19:55.300 because let's be honest. Yeah, I give it to him. That's fair. That's what they are. First, we go to Jamie.
01:20:01.380 Although I would say that probably a good third of those people are probably former liberals who got
01:20:05.380 sick of Trudeau. They're now conservatives, but they used to not be.
01:20:08.340 He who pays for Twitter. He says, I don't remember you saying this about Christmas and then proceeds
01:20:14.660 to put two middle finger emojis to express his frustration. The thing that Jamie doesn't
01:20:19.460 understand is that Justin Trudeau actually tweeted out on Christmas Day a nice heartfelt video message.
01:20:25.940 Yeah, no, I agree with JB there. You always get people in the comment sections of things that
01:20:30.340 didn't actually look into anything and they just assume that because they dislike Trudeau and because
01:20:35.060 Trudeau is often a very nasty person, especially towards, you know, Christians or more socially
01:20:41.300 conservative people that he must not say anything about Christmas. It would be electoral suicide not
01:20:45.620 to say something about Christmas in Canada because it would just make you seem like the most petty person
01:20:50.820 ever. It's not like not recognizing a religious holiday that you just don't really believe in.
01:20:55.380 It's like, it's basically the Christmas is the most secularized religious holiday you could find.
01:21:00.740 Secular atheistic people celebrate Christmas, so you would look silly not to celebrate Christmas.
01:21:05.060 I agree with him though. You do get a lot of people who just don't understand what they're talking about
01:21:08.980 in the comments, but I hope that this whole video doesn't just become random nameless people on
01:21:14.660 Twitter that he's making a nine minute video trying to dunk on. It's a little sad from that perspective.
01:21:20.980 About Christmas and the values that Christmas brings and all the stuff in between. And for Kwanzaa,
01:21:28.180 he put out a tweet, but also Jamie here also in the later tweet posted a picture of the silly mustache man
01:21:35.700 and had a sympathetic message to him on it. So we know Jamie's true values then.
01:21:46.900 I'm going to assume that he's lying about that because that sounds almost too good to be true.
01:21:51.940 I'm going to look up Liberty Jameson. I guarantee that it was a joke or he is taking something wildly
01:21:58.180 out of context to pretend that this man is a neo-Nazi. If he is, I will give it to him there,
01:22:03.540 but I don't know why he's not showing the tweet if it was so damning of this man.
01:22:08.180 Uh, Liberty Jameson. I do want to do another stream someday with Daniel Boardman going over
01:22:18.980 this guy's videos and it will make it way easier for me to look up information like this.
01:22:23.140 So let us find the replies that he has made to Mr. Justin Trudeau and see if this Hitler thing is true.
01:22:33.540 So far, I only see him posting about how he thinks that the gender ideology crowd are very
01:22:42.820 Nazi-like, which I think that's super hyperbolic. He doesn't strike me as someone who's going to
01:22:47.620 be saying Nazi-ish things to people.
01:22:49.860 Oh, see, this is what he thinks is a pro-Nazi video, like a pro-Nazi post by this guy.
01:23:03.060 And again, I don't know anything about this Jamie guy, but I don't, this doesn't strike me as someone
01:23:07.860 who is like a hardcore neo-Nazi. It's a joke post that JB just decided to lie about in order to bolster
01:23:15.300 his idea that somehow conservatives are Nazis or somehow conservatives are far right or whatever.
01:23:20.260 It's this. Yeah, I think it's a bit, and it's from Elon Musk, but it's so obviously Elon Musk is not
01:23:25.460 a Nazi. So stop comparing me to Justin Trudeau. I had a budget. And so it's dumb. It's a dumb joke
01:23:31.940 about Justin Trudeau being an incompetent fascist or something like that. And that Justin Trudeau is
01:23:37.540 somehow bankrupting the nation. Historically inaccurate because the Nazis actually drove
01:23:43.060 the German economy into the floor. But still, the JB just lied about this guy in order to
01:23:48.900 dunk on someone who's anonymous online. But that really demonstrates to me that the guy has nothing
01:23:54.980 to say. And he's just here to take swings at the lowest common denominator. He's, this is low
01:24:00.820 hanging fruit. And he's somehow face planted trying to reach for the low hanging fruit.
01:24:07.540 Well, yeah, BL. That's why, that's why the Nazi economy sucked. They invested so much
01:24:13.780 into, uh, like the, the Nazis were a socialist economy. The economy sucked under them. That's
01:24:18.740 why the, during the entire war, they were constantly running out of oil and gas and fuel because of all
01:24:24.100 the rationing that they, that they did and all of the, uh, government control over different industries
01:24:29.220 that it be like any socialist economy, despite having a lot of resources on their hands, they wasted
01:24:34.980 everything because government observers and government managers are terrible at managing
01:24:39.780 the economy. It's what always happens when the government thinks it knows better than the free
01:24:43.860 market. The, in a large sense, the Nazis helped defeat themselves because of their terrible economic
01:24:49.460 system. But, uh, that's neither here nor there. I don't want to get too much into that, but yeah, it's,
01:24:55.060 it's, I want to get back to this video. If he, if he responds to this, I don't doubt that he'll
01:24:59.060 somehow say that was a pro Nazi comment for some reason, cause that's about as a deep as this guy
01:25:04.020 goes. Uh, a nice heartfelt video message about Christmas and the values that Christmas brings and
01:25:11.940 all this stuff in between. And for Kwanzaa, he put out a tweet, but also, uh, Jamie here also, uh,
01:25:18.180 in the later tweet, uh, posted a picture of, uh, the silly mustache man and, uh, had a sympathetic
01:25:25.460 message to him on it. So that that was a lie. We know Jamie's true values then unscrew the
01:25:32.260 what true values that meme, that meme implied that the man was far, right. A meme implying that it's
01:25:38.820 a joke. It's a hyperbolic joke that somehow Justin Trudeau is even worse than Hitler,
01:25:42.500 which the implication of is that Hitler's one of the worst human beings on the planet.
01:25:46.980 And that somehow Trudeau is worse. Obviously Trudeau is not worse than Hitler, but still the,
01:25:51.300 this guy thinks that somehow someone, someone posting something that implies the exact
01:25:55.060 opposite is, is like evidence of being far right. This is why you do not let, like Javier
01:26:01.860 Melle said, you do not give these leftists an inch because they are out to destroy your reputation
01:26:07.140 and you based on nothing. Cause they, because they want to, they just simply,
01:26:12.180 they, they are better people than you. They want control and they will undermine
01:26:15.780 your reputation in order to get it. News who pays for Twitter, uh, says go Kwanzaa yourself.
01:26:25.380 I don't know. I find that kind of funny.
01:26:28.580 A pause for the pauses for the laughter that
01:26:34.580 is happening. Not, not that from his joke, the laughter at him.
01:26:40.900 I, that was just such a muddled joke on his part. So the silence was to imply that it wasn't funny.
01:26:46.820 One, no one posting nothing in text is ever going to be laugh a lot of funny.
01:26:51.780 I, he muddled that joke. Cause it was the, was the pause supposed to be me and us as the audience
01:26:57.940 laughing at how bad that joke was, or was it supposed to be us? The pause was supposed to be
01:27:03.220 representing nobody laughing at the post. It's like he had a, had a concept for his dunk on the
01:27:09.780 guy's post. And then at the end, he decided to go the other way, which made the entire thing confusing.
01:27:15.460 Lloyd X-mas, you know, set up your audio correctly, JB. I can travel to your house
01:27:20.980 and I can show you how to reduce microphone peaking. And the first, the first step into not
01:27:26.020 having microphone peaking is not speaking at your mic directly into your microphone.
01:27:31.380 Don't do that. I can show you how it just, you just have to take a step back.
01:27:35.300 How this is going to go says not a relevant thing, not a thing. So this is actually a common
01:27:43.300 theme in the replies here that people are accusing Kwanzaa not to be real.
01:27:47.540 It's not, it's like, it's a fake holiday made in 1967 or so, uh, by a black communist.
01:27:53.700 I'm going to even look it up to get the date right.
01:28:01.060 And it is effectively like a rip off of, uh, Hanukkah and it's trying to pretend like it's
01:28:06.580 somehow Hanukkah and Christmas at the same time, which is, yeah, kind of deeply insulting in a lot
01:28:11.860 of ways. Um, I want to see what the history is. Um, yeah, 1966 by, uh, Malinga Karinga,
01:28:21.140 uh, who is currently 82 and is a far leftist. He is a black nationalist and indeed a racist.
01:28:29.860 Uh, because it was originally sort of, you know, celebrated by somebody who is, uh, an activist and,
01:28:40.340 and there's a socialist and all these things. So people on that certain flank, uh, don't like that.
01:28:47.620 So therefore the heart doesn't that just reveal the fact it is a fake holiday.
01:28:53.220 Seeing as you've just confirmed the fact that is a politically motivated holiday and is not based
01:29:00.180 on anything fundamentally like, you know, it's not remembering a historical event. It's not remembering
01:29:06.580 some religious sort of, uh, event. It's not doing any of that stuff. It's remembering that black
01:29:13.620 nationalism and communism exists. That is what it is trying to celebrate.
01:29:19.060 Holiday that is celebrated by upwards to 12 million people worldwide, um, is not.
01:29:26.260 Up to is doing a lot of lifting. It's the, the amount of legwork holding up the up to 12 million
01:29:32.980 people celebrated worldwide. No, the up to means that it probably is more like around a million.
01:29:39.140 Do you think anyone in Africa is celebrating Kwanzaa? No, they'd laugh at you for celebrating Kwanzaa.
01:29:45.220 And maybe North America, you get some black nationalist type groups who will celebrate it
01:29:50.580 just as you get other people like, you know, like other ethnocentrist groups who will celebrate
01:29:56.260 freaking weird holidays. Uh, sorry for almost swearing there. Uh, but like you get a lot of, uh, you know,
01:30:01.860 these people are not, it's not a real holiday at all. And the fact that there was up to 12 million
01:30:07.780 people celebrating it worldwide proves it's not really a holiday. There's cults that are bigger
01:30:12.740 than 12 million people. Real according to Lloyd. And of course, because conservatives only have one
01:30:19.860 joke, uh, no man who pays for Twitter says Kwanzaa, this you POS and then a series of emojis and then
01:30:26.500 says nothing else here. And then another emoji. Uh, this was seen by 25 people. So, you know,
01:30:32.260 his reach is really big. You have 176 people on YouTube. Who cares? Dean felt, uh,
01:30:44.100 I mean, Dean here expresses himself in a different fashion by finding a stock footage of an umbrella
01:30:51.780 that has a photo of a middle finger and posting that with no context. Uh, two people have seen this
01:31:00.020 and one of them is me. So not sure you're reaching the audience. You, you, you expect there, Dean,
01:31:07.620 Mickey Tucker. Dude, this guy loves himself so much. I don't doubt that before he JB has to shoot
01:31:14.980 the video, he talks about how much he loves himself in the mirror. This is, I don't know who he thinks
01:31:20.340 that this is actually reaching like our liberals watching this thing. Like, ah, man, he's, he's really
01:31:27.380 roasting these few conservatives on Twitter who probably aren't hoping that they have tens of
01:31:33.140 thousands of followers, but are just posting stuff. Just, is this good content? Just, you know,
01:31:40.100 finding anonymous accounts on Twitter and say, I disagree with them. I'm, I'm talking about like UBI
01:31:45.460 works and like UBI advocacy organizations. And this guy over here is talking about like people who
01:31:50.500 haven't even changed the default profile picture of their account, uh, who has a Yankees profile
01:31:57.940 picture. So, you know, he's a, he's a proud Canadian says, well, hello there, tampon boy
01:32:03.780 and put tampon in quotes, presuming that it's not real, but then proceeded to post a GIF from the
01:32:11.460 Tampax company, uh, Kotex saying tampons for all. And, and the GIF is animated with the tampons changing
01:32:19.140 color. I'm not sure what, uh, Mickey's message was here. I don't get, is he saying that everybody
01:32:26.020 should have tampons? Like Mickey, I think I, JB, if not fall politics, the point he doesn't,
01:32:33.140 he doesn't know what the story of all federally regulated buildings requiring tampons and pads
01:32:39.300 and men's washrooms, either that, or he's just playing dumb because if he actually acknowledged
01:32:44.660 that that was what the person was getting at, it might undermine his pretending to not understand
01:32:49.860 what this post means and like, oh, it's so absurd. What does this man mean? He's must be crazy and dumb,
01:32:56.340 but whatever. Well, I agree with you on this message, but I'm not sure. Mickey, get back to me.
01:33:02.180 Cause I don't know. He agrees. Everyone should have tampons. I'd love to have JB on to discuss his,
01:33:09.380 uh, does he carry them in his backpack? Does, what does JB do? Is he going to be one of those
01:33:14.660 people who are like, I carry them to help my female friends. Don't do that. It's weird. Don't
01:33:19.540 be that guy. But I guess a lot of people who have spent too much time at university think that's normal.
01:33:24.980 What your intent was here. Keen speaks who pays for. Oh, uh, yeah, sorry. It started because he just
01:33:29.860 probably got here a little bit ago. JB is the guy who runs this channel. He only has 176 people on
01:33:35.140 YouTube, but he's been trying to go into more YouTube video type stuff. He's much bigger on
01:33:39.540 TikTok. He's like 157,000 followers. Although I do, I would clarify that it's actually pretty easy
01:33:45.620 to grow on platforms like TikTok. I don't have TikTok, but you'd be shocked at how much just the
01:33:50.740 random accounts on TikTok will have in terms of their followers. Uh, but he has like 80,000 views
01:33:55.860 on some of these TikTok videos and maybe that people don't get all the way to the end. I'm not sure,
01:33:59.940 uh, if like TikTok views are worth more than like a Facebook view or a YouTube.
01:34:04.900 Definitely not a YouTube view, but it's sad that like, there's children who are watching this guy
01:34:09.940 who think this, he's like making great content and he's really dunking on those conservatives.
01:34:14.580 They're ignorant. They're calling Justin Trudeau tampon boy. Uh, they must, this is, this basically
01:34:19.940 is represented in the party itself. Probably for Twitter says, could you be any less Canadian or
01:34:24.900 patriotic? You spend more time virtually signaling than you do breathing. So, uh, Keen here doesn't seem to
01:34:29.860 understand that, uh, saying, uh, happy Kwanzaa to a subsect of Canadians who celebrate it.
01:34:36.020 Black communists. Let's be very honest. It actually, no, it is black communists and very,
01:34:41.700 very liberal white people in Toronto. That is who celebrates Kwanzaa. I guarantee the amount of
01:34:46.500 white people in count in Canada who celebrate Kwanzaa outnumbers the tiny amount of black
01:34:52.820 nationalist communists because nobody celebrates Kwanzaa in this country. Nobody cares about Kwanzaa.
01:34:58.340 It's a fake holiday. It's a basically a grift to try and force Western institutions to take
01:35:04.820 something that symbolizes socialism seriously. It's a nonsense holiday. Only people like JB
01:35:11.060 pretend to celebrate it in order to be inclusive or whatever.
01:35:14.420 Is, uh, incredibly Canadian and one of the most Canadian things you could do.
01:35:18.900 Canadians who celebrate it is, uh, incredibly Canadian and one of the most Canadian things you
01:35:23.620 could do. No, it isn't. It's just not. Kwanzaa is not Canadian and saying that supporting people
01:35:28.580 and celebrating a holiday for black nationalist communists is not Canadian in any way. So
01:35:35.380 celebrating the birthday of Mao Zedong is not Canadian and supporting people doing that is not
01:35:40.820 Canadian. There's just things that are Canadian and things that are not
01:35:44.260 Canadian. They're like religious freedom is Canadian celebrating a fake holiday. Doesn't
01:35:50.420 strike me as a very maple syrupy Canadian thing to do. Uh, so keen to his, uh, followers is showing
01:35:59.140 that he is not Canadian or patriotic despite there's a lot of people in Canada that celebrate Kwanzaa, but
01:36:09.380 could anyone, can anyone find an issue with the idea that a lot of people doing something in
01:36:13.940 Canada or just any amount of people? Because again, I doubt more than a few thousand people
01:36:19.380 in Canada seriously celebrate Kwanzaa in a non just virtue signaling manner. Do you just because
01:36:26.260 people do something in Canada does not make it Canadian. I hope that's not the standard because
01:36:30.340 you get a lot of weird things being considered super patriotic in Canadians based off the fact that
01:36:35.060 some Canadians do it. I hope not, but I guess this is the, this is the JV's, you know, expert
01:36:41.460 political analysis that you're, that it somehow is anti-patriotic to not celebrate people celebrating
01:36:46.820 Kwanzaa. Amir who pays for Twitter says, keep celebrating black, brown, yellow, red, and make
01:36:52.580 labels. And that's how you create division. And then posted a quote from Morgan Freeman saying,
01:36:58.420 how are we going to get rid of race and racism? Stop talking about it. Now, Morgan,
01:37:03.380 I hope he tries to call Amir a racist. That'd be really funny. Could have potentially said that.
01:37:10.580 I'm willing to bet at least a couple hot loonies that he didn't say that, or at least the context
01:37:17.620 of him saying that is different than what Amir is trying to say. Okay. Let's, let's,
01:37:22.900 let's say that this is not a real quote from Morgan Freeman. It's pretty common for people to
01:37:29.220 attribute fake quotes to people. But what is J because JB has a weird problem with this quote,
01:37:36.980 that the best way of stopping racism is to stop talking about it. And which is true. The best way
01:37:42.260 of having racism come up a lot in society is constantly focusing on racism and constantly
01:37:48.980 trying to do things like the left does try and make people who pay for ancestors past racism.
01:37:55.300 That's how you extend racism inside. If you want to stop racism, have people not be racist and have
01:38:00.980 people stop talking about racism and treat people like humans. But for some reason, JB has a really
01:38:06.660 hard time thinking that we should treat each other like human beings. He, he thinks that this,
01:38:11.700 that this, that how are we going to get rid of racism? Stop talking about it. He thinks that is like
01:38:17.460 a over the line comment that he has to debunk that Morgan Freeman never said it or something,
01:38:23.860 or that because it's so it's, it's like who could ever agree to something as radical as not being
01:38:29.060 racist and not talking about racism. And to portray here, but let's just go to his tweet. So he says,
01:38:34.420 keep celebrating black, brown, yellow, and red and make labels. That's how you create division.
01:38:39.140 I'm pretty sure if we celebrate as a culture, other cultures that exist in our society and in our
01:38:46.500 country, I'm pretty sure that is doing the opposite of creating division. And what happens if that holiday
01:38:53.380 that you're celebrating or celebrating people celebrating is specifically about exclusion
01:38:59.540 based on race, as well as radical left-wing political theory. That doesn't sound like something
01:39:05.460 that brings people together and unifies them. That sounds like something that you would be silly
01:39:10.020 to think that it unifies Canadians. It's actually very divisive to celebrate something like Kwanzaa.
01:39:15.460 And things can be exclusionary. Obviously Hanukkah is exclusionary to people who aren't religiously Jewish,
01:39:22.740 but it's not about specifically trying to separate people out the way that like a black nationalist holiday
01:39:29.380 like Kwanzaa is, specifically about trying to segregate holiday celebrations between black people and
01:39:37.540 everyone who isn't black. That is the motivation behind Kwanzaa. Don't celebrate Christmas. Don't
01:39:42.020 celebrate Judeo-Christian holidays. Celebrate this with other people who look like you. That's an incredibly
01:39:46.500 disgusting motivation for a holiday. That doesn't bring people together celebrating people, promoting
01:39:52.420 segregation. This is why I'm a terrible YouTuber. I stumble all the time. A segregatory holiday that is
01:40:03.460 specifically trying to create fake instances, fake excuses for segregation is a bad thing. You can have
01:40:11.700 holidays where if you share similar values, you can celebrate them. But a large aspect of Kwanzaa is
01:40:18.100 ethnic identity, which is a little strange to want to celebrate something based off of
01:40:23.460 in a country like Canada, that's not supposed to have like a specific ethnicity tied to it.
01:40:28.820 And somebody like myself, a non-person of color saying, you know, you know, happy Kwanzaa.
01:40:35.940 Never refer to yourself as a non-person of color. It's an embarrassing phrase. Just you're a Canadian.
01:40:40.900 I'm a Canadian. I'm not a white Canadian. I won't refer to myself by race because it's stupid.
01:40:46.260 Kwanzaa to the people who celebrate Kwanzaa. I don't think that's creating division. He also
01:40:51.700 spelt creating C-R-E-A-T. Oh, wow. You should go. You should dock some of his marks from
01:40:58.500 his latest homework assignment, JB. So crate, create. I don't.
01:41:05.620 What a funny shtick he's doing right now. Anyways, look, it's the holiday season and Hanukkah
01:41:11.700 is coming to an end or just came to an end. Christmas just came to an end and now Kwanzaa
01:41:17.140 is being celebrated until the new year. And then we have the new year and then Ramadan's right.
01:41:22.020 I just looked that up to confirm Hanukkah ended on the 15th. So I'm not sure what he means that
01:41:26.740 Hanukkah is coming to a close. Really proves how little he knows about Hanukkah.
01:41:30.980 Right around the corner. And then, of course, the lunar new year. This time of year has a lot of
01:41:34.660 cultures celebrating a lot of different things. And Canada is one of those countries where we have
01:41:39.940 a lot of different cultures. You take a walk around Toronto for, you know, even a half hour
01:41:46.420 and you'll find yourself in very different neighborhoods celebrating very different cultures
01:41:51.300 and practicing very different cultures. And I wonder if this guy found it a little bit
01:41:56.340 disturbing when people were celebrating Hamas terrorist attacks and making excuses for terrorism
01:42:03.300 in Israel. Because that would be interesting if that's a specific culture that he approves of
01:42:08.420 or doesn't approve of. I think he has an Israel versus Palestine video. I really want to look into
01:42:14.340 that because I guarantee it's just going to be chock-a-block full of cringe takes.
01:42:18.820 And the prime minister of our country, whether you agree with him or not or agree with his policies
01:42:23.300 or not, coming out and saying, hey, yeah, happy Kwanzaa to those who celebrate and all that stuff.
01:42:30.740 And find me a person who celebrates Kwanzaa. This guy could walk around, unless he goes to like a
01:42:36.180 socialist bar in Toronto, I doubt he's going to find anyone pretending to celebrate Kwanzaa.
01:42:41.300 It is a holiday. I want to even look up how many people celebrate Kwanzaa in Canada.
01:42:57.220 No, this is hilarious. Because remember when he said, up to 12 million people celebrate Kwanzaa
01:43:09.300 every year? I just looked it up. And that statistic is anywhere from only 500,000 people
01:43:15.300 up to 12 million. Do you really think there are 12 million people setting up their collective corn
01:43:20.740 bowls so that they can celebrate Kwanzaa with their other radical left-wing friends? And even if we
01:43:27.060 include white people celebrating Kwanzaa, which is structurally a holiday specifically to exclude
01:43:33.460 them, even if we include them, I doubt we're punching past a million here. Outside of college
01:43:38.580 campuses in the US and Canada and a couple of places, maybe in the UK, nobody celebrates it.
01:43:43.140 And anyone who does celebrate it, celebrates it, celebrates it only in order to basically
01:43:47.860 spite Christmas and Hanukkah. That's all it is. It is a fake holiday, as I keep saying.
01:43:54.340 You did the same post for Christmas and you did the same post for Hanukkah.
01:43:56.980 And I'm sure he's going to do the same post for Ramadan and Eid and all the things in between.
01:44:02.820 I honestly almost endorse politicians not posting
01:44:05.780 things for almost any holiday outside of actual official Canadian holidays.
01:44:10.660 I find it silly whenever a Muslim representative or Sikh representative or Christian representative
01:44:15.860 or anyone, Buddhist representative, anyone from any religious background,
01:44:19.300 pretends to care a lot about other religions' holidays. We should have a post every day where we
01:44:23.860 have religious freedom day, where we celebrate people's ability to have religious freedom.
01:44:30.020 That'd be great. But I find so many politicians waste time pretending to care about a holiday that
01:44:34.180 they obviously don't care about. I don't care about people posting about Christian holidays if they're
01:44:38.500 not actually Christian. It just comes off as cheapening in my mind. But that's just my controversial
01:44:45.700 perspective on just government celebrations of religious holidays in general. I'm a very
01:44:51.060 separation of church and state type person, despite being a very serious Christian myself.
01:44:56.580 It's just normal. And that's what I would want my prime minister to do. Now,
01:45:00.660 you're probably going to go in the comments and say,
01:45:05.300 Oh my goodness. JB's so funny. He's so funny, guys.
01:45:08.340 I don't support Trudeau. I am not a liberal as much as the comments like to say that I am. But I can say
01:45:14.420 I don't even know what he'd be then. I like every single video is like his. Okay, I'll take you
01:45:20.500 to the polling video after this. I'm not going to go over too much of it, or I'll skip around a bit,
01:45:24.260 because I've made a video with some other people about it that's yet to come out. He's like, well,
01:45:28.420 I might not. I'm not actually a liberal. Is he a communist? Is he like an NDP or a green guy?
01:45:34.260 Could be. But he makes a lot of COPE videos about how Justin Trudeau is actually, he could still
01:45:39.780 win the next election. And maybe it's because he's just so objective and nonpartisan. He wants to cover
01:45:44.420 things from every angle. He is very liberal. Even if he's not a liberal party member, he's obviously
01:45:49.540 very left. And he, depending on the election, will obviously vote for the liberals. But other than
01:45:54.980 that, I don't know why he does so much legwork to, frankly, just make stuff up in order to support the
01:46:00.580 liberal party. If he's not a liberal, I think he needs to find better hobbies, because this is not it,
01:46:06.260 man. Less than a minute clip, Morgan Freeman quote is 1000% accurate, worth the watch. Okay,
01:46:12.420 thank you for actually looking into that for me. And thank you for the donation. You literally gave me
01:46:16.900 information to back up on my point. And you gave me $5. So you're, you're great. Mondus
01:46:22.420 in Sanis, Mondus in Sanis. I think that's probably how it's pronounced. Spite me in your head if I
01:46:28.260 didn't, if I didn't say that right. Sit here and point at a tweet that's harmless
01:46:33.460 and celebratory towards, you know, a particular culture and say, yeah, that's the right thing to say.
01:46:40.020 It's a harmless tweet. It's also a very silly tweet. And when you post silly things, you can't be that
01:46:46.100 shocked when people are going to post silly things in reply to you, mocking you for doing so.
01:46:51.620 I'm not going to go in the comments and in replies and deny that this holiday exists.
01:47:00.340 I mean, it does exist. Does the existence of a holiday mean that we need to pretend that it's
01:47:05.300 a legitimate holiday worth celebrating that we have our values invested in? It's not.
01:47:10.100 As we know. So not acknowledging it.
01:47:15.860 Thank you, Bulu Purple. I am also happy you discovered the channel. I'm trying to do more
01:47:19.540 of these streams where I like watch other people's content because I think it's fun because I don't
01:47:24.100 exactly want to like cut up his videos and then make singular videos just, you know, just breaking
01:47:31.140 down stuff. I used to do Rachel Gilmore's TikTok videos, and I would maybe do that again if I had
01:47:35.380 better editing software. But at the end of the day, it takes all, it's kind of like a lot of work
01:47:41.460 just to respond to a singular four or five minute video from someone else. So I might do those in
01:47:45.940 the future, but it's easier for me to just knock out like five responses in singular night, uh,
01:47:50.900 doing it this way rather than taking his video, downloading it, then cutting it up so I can respond
01:47:55.860 to it. Plus, I think this is more fun in a certain sense would be creating device of this, but also not
01:48:02.740 acknowledging it shows people's true values that this war on Christmas that apparently is happening,
01:48:08.740 which it's not, is just a blanket for. There wasn't a war on Christmas. My last stream,
01:48:18.100 we literally had to go over the fact that my friend, my co-owner Daniel Boardman and a TNT
01:48:24.420 writer, the national teller writer Salman Seema got, Salman Seema got his shoulder dislocated
01:48:29.380 by Hamas supporters trying to shut down Christmas shopping because they believe that Christmas is
01:48:34.340 Western and ergo Westerners who celebrate it should be punished because they're not supporting Hamas
01:48:40.340 like they are against Israel. There is a, there is a war on Christmas. Yes, there's not like an overt
01:48:45.700 people running around the street trying to burn down churches because they celebrate Christmas.
01:48:49.060 There are people going around burning down churches, but there are also people around who like,
01:48:53.780 when like the satanic temple puts up displays next to nativity scenes, it's not because they actually
01:48:58.900 believe in Satanism. A lot of them are just atheists, but there are people who every year
01:49:03.220 attempts to cheapen Christmas, try and get nativity scenes removed from public property. There's a lot
01:49:08.580 of people who have this very petty hatred for Christmas or use sort of Christmas as a season to disrupt
01:49:15.220 and ruin people's days in order to promote their, whatever their stupid thing is of their stupid
01:49:21.540 causes this year, this year being Hamas apologia or their prejudice. Happy Kwanzaa guys. If you don't
01:49:31.220 sell, if you don't celebrate Kwanzaa or if you do not celebrate your friends like celebrating Kwanzaa is
01:49:37.700 if you even know someone who celebrates Kwanzaa your prejudice. If you don't acknowledge that Kwanzaa
01:49:43.860 took place this year, you're prejudice. You're a bad person. Just letting you all know police are on
01:49:48.980 their way and they're going to arrest you for having the bigoted heart that didn't bring you
01:49:53.300 to celebrating Kwanzaa. You didn't make a post. If you got, you guys have like five minutes to make
01:49:57.300 a post celebrating Kwanzaa right now and the RCMP will turn the cars around. And I'm being obviously
01:50:02.660 hyperbolic, but that just that dumb, I want to go back. He legitimately said that somehow it's like
01:50:07.540 an insight into your heart. If you don't like that Trudeau's celebrating a fake holiday. Yeah,
01:50:12.420 it isn't real. It's a stupid holiday. It's a holiday again, as I said, for black nationalist communists.
01:50:18.020 And we almost say black nationalists, like I've been saying. And like, I guarantee JB would say,
01:50:23.940 well, there's nothing wrong with black nationalism. I think it should be considered equally as disgusting
01:50:28.900 as any other ethnocentrist movement. Ethnocentrism is really gross. Yes, I understand that there's
01:50:34.820 like cultures in Europe and Africa, Asia, where obviously there should be more catering towards
01:50:41.060 that cultural tradition because, you know, England should be a place that champions English culture.
01:50:45.300 And I don't like seeing it when you can see politicians trying to de-Englishify England.
01:50:51.220 That seems silly. I wouldn't want, you know, I wouldn't want like Somalia. I wouldn't want Togo.
01:50:56.740 I wouldn't want China, although China did itself because of the communists. I wouldn't want Laos.
01:51:02.660 I wouldn't want them to destroy their own culture. So obviously, I don't want European countries,
01:51:06.980 African, Asian, Central Asian, I want them to ruin their own culture. So that is a bit of a movement
01:51:11.860 where you have people in countries where it's a specific home to a specific ethnic group and their
01:51:17.460 culture where they dismantle their own culture. But in a place like Canada, being like extremely
01:51:22.500 obsessed with ethnicity is usually a big red flag that it's not about cultural traditions. It's
01:51:27.780 usually about something a little bit darker. But yeah, I'm brambling a little bit there, but I'll move on.
01:51:33.780 So that apparently is happening, which it's not is just a blanket for their prejudice. Happy Kwanzaa
01:51:43.620 to those who celebrate and happy holidays to the rest of you for whatever you celebrate. I hope you
01:51:48.340 have a joyous rest of the year and a happy new year. I'm sure I'll talk to you before then. But until
01:51:53.140 then, have a fantastic week, regardless of what you celebrate.
01:51:57.140 Okay, well, that was that was a thing. Thanks. Thanks, JB. Thanks for thanks for telling wishing
01:52:03.300 me good luck and celebrating Kwanzaa. The corn is in the microwave right now getting prepared.
01:52:10.260 Oh, goodness, this guy features Steve boots on his channel. Oh, no. Oh, no, that's embarrassing.
01:52:18.260 Steve boots the other day. I'm not sure if you know who Steve boots is another tick tock kind of a guy.
01:52:22.740 Another guy who's like a not I don't know if JB is but just Steve boots is this Hamas apologist type
01:52:29.860 like hyper progressive, and he posted this claim or he tried to claim that the IDF when they went
01:52:37.300 into Gaza, they were finding Arabic translations of Mein Kampf in people's homes or in Hamas like
01:52:44.980 militants residences. And he claimed, well, it must be fake. It must be like some false flag by the IDF
01:52:50.660 because it has Mein Kampf in stylized Germanic looking English on the front cover. And if it's
01:52:55.540 Arabic, why would it have that? And I just like went to my own bookshelf because I remember that
01:53:00.500 this was a thing. And I pulled out a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, in which has Art of War in English
01:53:07.300 on the front cover. This is the English version of the book. And then on the right side, it has in
01:53:11.860 Cantonese Art of War. It's almost like when a book has a strong ethnic origin, they usually have that
01:53:19.220 language on the front cover as well. And but he's not but obviously because he's taken the
01:53:24.260 position that there's nothing wrong that's ever happened in Gaza. So if there's Arabic versions
01:53:29.220 of Mein Kampf, it must be the Jews who are planting those books there. I want to see if I can find any
01:53:34.340 other fun videos by him. Oh, yeah, I will go into the polling one a little bit. Basically, this video is
01:53:41.940 just him. If you are a liberal, I'm not a liberal. And he literally starts us off as if you're a
01:53:48.100 liberal or someone of other leftist ideologies. He's obviously very liberal. He might not vote for
01:53:53.620 the Liberal Party every year. But we know he's very liberal. The thing is, I guarantee, depending
01:53:58.340 on the writing he's in, he votes liberal, or he's so far left that he's probably one of those guys who's
01:54:03.140 going to create a video one day saying, actually, the liberals are actually too conservative.
01:54:07.780 Because I don't know, like, take a cue by the fact that he always wears red sweaters about what
01:54:14.020 his politics are. But I don't think they're exactly, you know, moderate and center left
01:54:20.180 in orientation, if I can say it that way. If you are a liberal or even somebody who aligns with a more
01:54:25.940 leftist ideology here in Canada, you may be looking at the current polls and thinking to yourself that
01:54:32.420 you might be concerned about where this is going to go. And if in fact, Pierre Polyev and the
01:54:39.700 Conservative Party is going to win in the next election. Now, that was a 20 seconds to go in a
01:54:46.980 very roundabout fashion to say you might be considering that Polyev might win the next election.
01:54:51.060 I try and I try and taper the my pre recorded videos to be much tighter in the first minute so
01:54:57.460 that I get a lot of information out right away so people know what I'm talking about. That was
01:55:01.460 that was not very tight writing considering all of the editing he has. I try and nail videos like
01:55:06.660 anywhere from five minute videos to 20 minute videos in one take. And I try and keep everything
01:55:10.980 a little bit less rambly than that. And the guy's jump cuts prove that he could have just re-recorded
01:55:16.020 that. But whatever, I guess he's trying to get past the eight minute mark.
01:55:18.740 It may be easy to look at places like Canada Proud or True North and look at the posts they're putting
01:55:25.700 out and feeling extremely discouraged that something like Pierre Polyev and a government
01:55:30.740 that he would create is a reality because this is the this is poisoning the well or a bit of a straw man
01:55:37.700 he's putting up that if you're concerned about the polling, it's probably because you've seen a lot
01:55:42.260 of True North and Canada Proud posts. If you just look at the raw polls themselves,
01:55:46.740 you shouldn't be confident that Trudeau is going to win. It's obvious that the Conservatives are
01:55:50.020 going to win. But this video, as you'll see as it keeps going on, is very much a cope video.
01:55:56.260 He is trying to tell his supporters that actually we're totally not in the hole right now. We've not
01:56:02.500 made any mistakes. It's just that the polling is somehow lying. I am one of those people who I
01:56:08.260 don't think polls are rigged. I think there are certain types of things that are pulled that are
01:56:11.860 inaccurate. But I can sorry, I can give you good reason why I think things are inaccurate. Like,
01:56:18.260 I think issue polling is foolish whenever they tell ask you your opinion on specific policy issues,
01:56:23.620 because oftentimes they're like, do you think I think this was the I think this was like something
01:56:27.940 I'm not sure if this was the exact name of it was like the grocery bill of lights or the grocery
01:56:32.340 code of conduct for grocery stores. Do you support that? And they kind of half explained what it is.
01:56:37.700 And obviously, the bill is going to the the the generic way of explaining the bill is going to
01:56:42.820 make it sound good, even if nobody knows what any of this stuff means. So things like that,
01:56:47.140 that nobody's ever heard of gets wildly high support in the polls, because the people don't
01:56:52.580 actually know what the policy means. But the title it has, and the the explainer text that comes along
01:56:59.300 with it in the poll makes it sound all right. So most people just say, well, I guess that sounds good.
01:57:03.380 So that's why I don't like issue polling generally election national polling national election polling
01:57:08.420 is pretty accurate. It's never one to one with the election results. But at the very least,
01:57:14.180 when you look at who's ahead and who's behind, you can take that to mean a certain amount of momentum
01:57:18.820 is taking place for that party. Even with the PPC polling at like 12% in some polls in the last
01:57:24.180 election, that was more so skewed just because PPC voters are the most likely to like to pick up the
01:57:31.700 phone and tell you who they're going to vote for because they're hyper engaged.
01:57:34.740 At the same time, those 12% numbers, you could still get good information from that knowing it
01:57:40.740 was probably going to be inaccurate that the PPC was going to be at 12% nationally. What you could
01:57:45.460 take from that is that the PPC had quite a bit more momentum than it did the last election, because
01:57:50.020 last election, they almost got 2%. And in the next election, they got more than five, like 5.3%. So
01:57:56.020 that's what you could have taken away from that. It's never that the polls are just inaccurate.
01:58:00.660 Some pollsters aren't as good as others, but they're not ever going to be useless.
01:58:05.780 But this guy is now someone who probably tells conservatives in the last election that the polls
01:58:10.420 aren't, the polling isn't rigged, their party is just unpopular under O'Toole, which I would have
01:58:14.420 agreed with. But now because left-wing parties are suffering in the polls, he is here to tell you
01:58:19.700 that polling is bad. It is true that when we look at two of the major pollsters right now,
01:58:25.540 Abascus and Ledger, there is a significant gap between Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party of
01:58:32.180 Canada and Justin Trudeau's Liberals. There's even some polls that put Justin Trudeau and the NDP
01:58:39.460 and Jagmeet Singh in a deadlocked tie. If this happens to be true, and the seat count from these
01:58:46.020 prospective polls turns into a reality, we would be seeing a downright super majority from the
01:58:52.260 Conservative Party of Canada. Again, it is very discouraging to look at that and think, wow.
01:58:58.900 What's this? Okay. And this is what we got into in the podcast that we did. A super majority is not
01:59:04.420 an actual thing in Canada. There's no such thing as a super majority in Canada. There is majorities
01:59:09.220 and there are not majorities. There's no other than things where you need like two thirds of provinces
01:59:15.060 and the federal government to support an amendment to the constitution, like in our current amending
01:59:20.420 formula. There's no votes in parliament to my knowledge that you need two thirds support to do,
01:59:26.340 to do anything for. It's usually that you need majorities, simple majorities of various provincial
01:59:32.180 governments or even referendums in order to get something through. But because this guy probably gets
01:59:37.460 all of his politics from US shows, he ends up adopting the language into how he talks about
01:59:43.140 Canadian politics and then just gets things blatantly wrong. So actually, Jeff S, I thought
01:59:48.420 this was a good piece of information for me. You should do the non-confidence petition next. So funny,
01:59:53.300 he's concerned about fake signatures while saying in the next video that the polls don't matter. I do
01:59:57.780 want to look into that because there's a lot of work effort that goes in to making sure that the
02:00:03.140 petition signatures are not fake. You have to give them a lot of information, more than just a, you
02:00:08.660 know, a change.org petition. These are not like, and the thing is that he would probably say if conservatives
02:00:14.340 are concerned about fake signatures, that you're just like the mega Republicans, and you think the elections
02:00:20.020 are rigged and whatnot. But he can effectively claim the same things that he would condemn like a
02:00:24.580 Republican in the US for thinking that the polls are off. And in the US, there actually is more
02:00:29.780 motivation to put out cooked polls because there's a lot more money in politics that can go to a
02:00:34.100 pollster to put out a poll that maybe isn't balancing the voters as well. So you have like a
02:00:39.700 plus 14 for Biden in Minnesota when that's like, or Wisconsin when that's a super close state on
02:00:44.740 election day. But when he does it in Canada, even though there's actually very little evidence Canadian
02:00:50.260 pollsters ever get it significantly wrong, you can almost count on one hand the elections where
02:00:55.140 pollsters were really off in the last 20 years in Canada. It's like Mayor Bill Smith running
02:00:59.700 Calpfer against Nahed Nenshi in the city of Calgary. Bill Smith got cleaned up by Nenshi,
02:01:06.420 and the polling from Main Street showed that Bill Smith was going to win by like eight points or
02:01:10.660 something like that. It just didn't manifest because they probably had a big polling sample error.
02:01:16.740 But anyways, so I just want to get back to this, but there's just no evidence that polls are off in
02:01:22.420 Canada. They generally are pretty accurate, and he never brings it up. But how does he square the fact
02:01:28.420 with him saying that the polls don't mean much right now with the fact that the Conservatives
02:01:33.700 are absolutely killing the Liberals when it comes to fundraising? Obviously, their polls are reflecting
02:01:39.380 some underlying reality in Canadian politics. It's not just like, oh, it's too far out for an election.
02:01:44.660 Technically, the polls can change and people's minds can change over the election. Sure, but the current
02:01:50.660 polling is actually quite accurate. And what Chris from the Great Canadian Bagel podcast point out,
02:01:57.140 is in many past federal elections, if you look at the opinion polling from last election to that
02:02:01.700 election, the polling remained pretty flat. There's very few elections where there's big 10,
02:02:07.300 15 point swings between the support of all the different parties. It's outside of like elections
02:02:12.820 where a party just collapses because of a bad leader or because of a scandal. Most of the time,
02:02:17.540 people have their minds made up and they stick to what they think.
02:02:20.420 Like there's really nothing that can be done. And Justin Trudeau is that extremely unpopular
02:02:27.060 of a leader that we really don't have a choice and that Pierre is going to be the next prime minister.
02:02:33.620 Well, that certainly may be the case. And there's absolutely validity in that statement.
02:02:39.300 Oh goodness, I hate people who talk like this. Like there might be validity in that statement.
02:02:45.300 Stop using big words for very simple things that we're talking about. It's just accurate. It's
02:02:51.220 accurate. It could be accurate or could not be accurate. There might be validity in the statement
02:02:56.740 that the conservatives could form a super majority government, but, and I don't know why he's talking
02:03:03.940 like this. He's like filming all of his clips in like 10 second segments. You can sound more sure
02:03:09.460 about what you're saying, man. JB, I can help you script out your videos better.
02:03:15.300 The reality of the Canadian political system is that it is designed in a way that prevents
02:03:24.500 super majorities from ever becoming a thing. A super majority, for those who don't know,
02:03:29.140 would be something where all the other parties from second to last place and their seats added
02:03:34.100 together doesn't equal half of that of the conservative or the winning party in the election.
02:03:40.820 That's just called a majority. There's no such thing as a super majority. What's a regular
02:03:44.660 majority of a super majority is just having the most, more than half of the seats.
02:03:49.940 There has been very, very few super majorities in our Canadian history.
02:03:53.940 We have actually had tons of majority governments. Just think about three year
02:03:58.020 own lifespan. You can probably name a dozen super majorities if you've been alive for more than 40
02:04:04.180 years. And even if you're like me and you're only 24, there are a lot of majority governments.
02:04:09.540 Trudeau had a majority government. Harper had a majority government. Chrétien had a majority
02:04:13.380 government for many terms. And before that, Brian Mulroney had a majority government. There was a
02:04:18.420 minority for a little bit, but then you go back to a pure Trudeau majority government. I don't know what
02:04:22.980 this guy's even on about. And that is by design. The Westminster system...
02:04:28.820 It's actually not by design. Westminster systems generate tons of majority governments. We are a
02:04:35.620 first-past-the-post system. It is designed to have very decisive majority governments being easier to
02:04:40.820 form. Proportional representation systems are designed to make it very difficult to form a
02:04:45.300 majority without massive amounts of public support swinging behind you, especially in systems where
02:04:50.500 you'll need to lead like half a percent to have a couple seats in the legislature.
02:04:54.100 That helps create our government doesn't typically allow that to happen. Not that there's any rules
02:05:01.460 that says it can't happen. It's just by design, it doesn't allow it to happen. Nope. It happens all
02:05:06.340 the time, man. Allow it to happen. Also, when we look at history, Canadians don't really like majority
02:05:12.260 governments. And when there is a majority government in place, they typically do not elect a majority with
02:05:17.780 a strong, strong margin between them and the next party.
02:05:22.820 No, Canadians do not dislike majority governments. It's why Chrétien had two in a row.
02:05:28.740 Then I think he had like technically, you know, you're technically like three in a row or whatever.
02:05:33.780 Majority governments are very easy to form in Canada. The only reason we'll go through periods
02:05:37.780 of multiple minority governments is that Canadians, I would say, sometimes don't change their minds
02:05:42.900 politically very fast. So if we end up in a minority government position, people don't reorient
02:05:47.860 themselves extremely quickly into supporting a party that then can form a majority. People tend to
02:05:53.460 stay where they are for a while. So we might go through a couple of minority governments. But once
02:05:58.420 we hit a majority, we actually kind of, you know, also keep it for a while. Yeah, he was supposed to
02:06:03.140 have four and Paul Martin just fumbled the ball at the very end and fell on his face because of some
02:06:07.220 dumb social policies and the gun registry that they were pushing. Yeah, there's been tons,
02:06:12.740 tons. It's not hard to like open up a Wikipedia page and look at all the majority governments
02:06:17.220 throughout Canadian history. We started out this country with a couple terms or a few terms of
02:06:24.660 like, we have two terms, I think, of John McDonnell. Yeah, John A. McDonnell having two majorities.
02:06:32.020 And I believe he was replaced by a liberal majority. Then he came back with another conservative
02:06:35.620 majority. Majorities are happening all the time. I can't say any more about that.
02:06:40.580 About majorities from time to time, but majority governments are only a majority by a handful of
02:06:46.500 seats. When we look at 2015, the year that Justin Trudeau became prime minister. He
02:06:54.100 I do need to talk to him, but I doubt he would listen.
02:06:56.260 I don't think that would happen. I don't think PC and PPC's forces would form a minority government
02:07:07.780 because the PPC cannot seem to win a single seat because frankly, Maxime Bernier does not have the
02:07:12.740 focus to actually win a singular riding. He was elected into a majority government after extreme
02:07:21.380 political apathy towards the conservative party of Canada and Stephen Harper. So many people
02:07:27.940 didn't want another term of Harper that they. I would have to agree with him there. I think there
02:07:33.540 was a lot of apathy with the conservatives. I think Harper had been in office for a very long time.
02:07:39.860 And although Harper was a good prime minister, I think that he didn't have the kind of charisma and
02:07:45.140 sort of like extremely loyal following that I think conservatives got complacent 2015. I don't
02:07:50.980 think it was as many people wanted Harper gone as much as conservatives didn't show up. So the normal
02:07:56.660 push for the liberals ended up just overcoming the conservatives because it was kind of a low
02:08:00.420 turnout election compared to other ones, even though Canada historically punches over 60% turnout
02:08:06.340 for most of our elections, unlike the U S where you get some super, super sleepy, uh, presidential
02:08:11.860 races ended up voting for the liberal party and ultimately denying the NDP from being opposition
02:08:19.220 yet again. But if we remember correctly, going into 2015 and going into that election cycle,
02:08:25.860 the conservative party of Canada was ahead in the polls almost up until the last few weeks it was in.
02:08:34.900 Uh, on the stream we had with, uh, Chris from the great Canadian bagel podcast and Russell, we
02:08:40.020 completely debunked this and maybe this is a good ending off point, or I'm going to end up covering
02:08:43.780 the entire video. That's just wrong. It was actually very close to the entire election.
02:08:48.100 There's only a little bit of time that the conservative party was ahead in the polls and
02:08:52.100 they were pretty much in a three-way tie with the liberals and the NDP. And it was just that left-wing
02:08:56.500 voters tent broke in favor of the liberals because it was the more traditional party for most of them
02:09:01.620 to vote for in the first place. Jack Layton wasn't around. So the NDP had far less poll
02:09:06.340 with people than they did with, uh, what's his name? Uh, I think this is just proving
02:09:12.420 why he didn't do well. Thomas Mulcair. Uh, Thomas Mulcair was very traditional union,
02:09:16.580 kind of an NDP leader. The kind of square leader, the NDP would have put up in like an orange,
02:09:22.820 like, you know, pantsuit. If it was like female leader back in the day, very overly earnest kind of,
02:09:28.420 uh, NDP leaders. Mulcair was a little bit more tactful than some of the past NDP leaders,
02:09:34.580 but it wasn't a guy that was going to be able to out muscle Justin Trudeau in the sort of personal
02:09:38.980 charisma department. Um, ranch or cool ranch? Cool ranch. Anyways, uh, thanks for the donation. Um,
02:09:52.020 I'm
02:09:55.300 Oh, wait, sorry. I'm trying to find that. I just keep thinking it's hilarious. I'm considered right wing
02:09:59.460 now. Are you like, are you, do you find yourself person? Do you consider yourself personally like
02:10:03.860 center left or something? Or is that, uh, is it more so that you're just like center, right? And
02:10:08.500 now you're considered like far right or something like that. Cause you support like basic things like
02:10:12.980 property rights for gun owners and parental rights.
02:10:18.900 Uh, anyway, so no, but I might end it off there. I've been going for like two hours and 10 minutes at
02:10:26.180 this point. I definitely want to come back on with Daniel Boardman at some point and we can react to
02:10:30.420 more of JB's videos. Again, JB, maybe I would get along famously with him in real life, but there is
02:10:37.780 this kind of very, I find sneering liberal personality that he so like perfectly sums up.
02:10:44.340 And I don't find that there's as many liberal YouTubers, uh, like him where they're very
02:10:51.460 forward. And you can say, I don't, I'm not a liberal. I don't vote liberal. Okay.
02:10:54.820 Ideologically. You're very liberal. I don't mean in the party sense, but you're very liberal.
02:10:59.860 Uh, but like the people who are just straight up about how, like, cause most of these people,
02:11:04.900 you find them on Twitter, defending Trudeau, very true and on type individuals who, regardless
02:11:10.660 of what Trudeau does, if he does something bad, they're, they're defending him. If he's in the
02:11:14.180 middle of a scandal, they'll, they'll somehow find out how secretly he's actually doing the right
02:11:18.660 thing or whatever. And this guy's channel very much reminds me of that.
02:11:22.500 Uh, do I get a donation receipt? I don't know. What do you mean by a donation receipt?
02:11:28.580 Uh, but like, there's, but like JB represents in my mind, a very doctrinal, very orthodox leftist.
02:11:37.300 I find a lot of the more liberal people tend to be more article type individuals. They make articles.
02:11:43.460 This guy is like one of those people who's like very, uh, partisan on YouTube. Uh, whereas like,
02:11:50.580 you got a lot more people like the candle and they're more like radio podcast, audio type stuff.
02:11:55.940 Uh, and then most of the liberal, I find content on video is usually like the legacy media.
02:12:01.220 But I think this guy's almost demonstrates just the lower amount of knowledge that a lot of liberal
02:12:07.140 supporters or more left wing Canadians have when it comes to Canadian politics, that the institutions
02:12:12.660 are so skewed in their favor of telling them what they want to hear that they actually assume that,
02:12:18.500 oh, uh, I donate to your, my legal fund. You don't, it's just a give, send, go. My promise is that
02:12:24.180 anyone who wants me to just give their money back after I win, I will definitely follow up with you.
02:12:29.780 You will have my email, uh, or I'll just email you and I'll like reimburse you. I've promised that
02:12:35.060 to someone else. They didn't want any of the money back, which was very like, you know, very kind of
02:12:39.780 them. But if I ended up getting my money back, cause there's actually a way for me to get more
02:12:43.780 than double my costs back from the man suing me. And so I would have no compunction with giving you
02:12:49.940 money back. If you donated a sum more than like $20, cause I might not want to have to go through all
02:12:55.060 the donation records and send people back like $4 and $5. Um, but yeah, if you donate fantastic,
02:13:01.860 if you don't donate fair enough, you don't have to watching this show is enough. Uh, but yeah,
02:13:07.140 sorry, I keep, I keep getting myself off my point. This really demonstrates why it's not good to go on
02:13:11.140 for hours and hours in a stream. But, uh, so, but yeah, like the, the, so JB represents kind of like
02:13:19.460 someone I believe has grown up with so many institutions, professors,
02:13:24.020 and friends in their bubble agreeing with them that when he makes videos,
02:13:28.980 he goes in it from the perspective that obviously I'm right. Cause everything around me every day
02:13:33.700 says that I'm right. And then when you see him not understand that the conservative policy
02:13:38.420 declaration is not their platform. And then he compares it to the 2021 liberal platform and then
02:13:43.540 ignores the fact that conservatives also had a platform in that election and that I haven't shown
02:13:47.780 it, but the bill C-11 video where he, he acts as if bill C-11 is only what liberal
02:13:53.940 press releases say it is. And that if you take it to mean anything more than it,
02:13:58.180 then you're lying about it. So he'll say that bill C-11, all it does is promotes Canadian media
02:14:03.140 content, not looking at the fact that it obviously is going to promote whatever the CRTC
02:14:08.740 and other regulatory boards considers Canadian, even if you're Canadian making news about, or making
02:14:13.940 Canadian political news that might not be considered Canadian, but because he's informed himself
02:14:18.900 only through institutions that agree with him already. And that he goes into every conversation
02:14:24.580 from a, anyone who opposes a left-wing party is somehow acting in bad faith. He is very willing
02:14:31.220 to make half formed arguments, assuming that his correctness has just, his like just sense of
02:14:38.500 correctness means that he can muscle through all this stuff and that he'll, he's right at the end of
02:14:42.900 the day. Cause how could I be wrong? I'm me. How could I be wrong? My professor said,
02:14:47.140 I was very smart and gave me an A plus on a paper where I just told him exactly what he wanted to
02:14:51.300 hear from me. That's what I mean when I say very much reminds me of people from university. I knew
02:14:56.020 a lot of people who they would just parrot things back to the professors that they wanted to hear,
02:15:00.340 and they would act very smug and superior because they got better marks than you,
02:15:04.180 because they just effectively were jumping through hoops while you actually were developing your own
02:15:09.060 thoughts about politics. You were actually following the evidence, just how it ends up working.
02:15:13.060 Um, yeah, other, other countries have things like the CRTC. It's not quite like what the US has,
02:15:22.020 where it's more of just standards and practices for like radio and television, because obviously
02:15:26.420 there's a limited amount of radio bandwidth. So it makes sense that you don't want people, you know,
02:15:31.140 posting obviously like very crazy content on public airwaves. Uh, but most of them do not actually
02:15:37.940 dictate to Americans or to other, their fellow countrymen about what you can and cannot say
02:15:45.940 in order to get verified as properly Canadian. The Canada's media landscape is far more subsidy heavy.
02:15:52.100 So many shows only exist both on television, radio, as well as podcasts because government money is
02:15:59.140 handed to them. It's actually such a barren wasteland in independent media because there's so much money
02:16:04.580 that goes to legacy media in terms of fund funding that the amount of advertisers independent media
02:16:10.820 can get is very limited because there's so much media saturation, artificial saturation through
02:16:15.860 subsidized media that we're kind of left with the scraps. So you gotta, you gotta, you gotta grind
02:16:21.860 to get $10. It's quite ridiculous. And then you get sued on top of it because you do not have the
02:16:26.820 money to fight back, or they assume you don't have the money to fight back in my case. And you have to,
02:16:31.300 like, this is where it's nuts that Ezra O'Vanta Rebel News is getting fined for having written a
02:16:37.140 book in the 2019 federal election about the Liberals, his book, The Liberanos, uh, as if he was
02:16:42.820 somehow violating an election law. When, as he points out, rightfully so, there was 23 other pro-Trudeau
02:16:48.500 books written in the 2019 election cycle. He wrote an anti-Trudeau one, and because he had long-sized
02:16:53.540 advertising the book, they were trying to claim that he was violating the Canadian election,
02:16:57.540 uh, Canadian election laws, because he didn't register as like a PAC or something like that,
02:17:01.540 when the current Canadian election laws specifically say that you are allowed to advertise political
02:17:06.820 books during an election cycle. And the sign literally said, buy the book on the cover. It
02:17:11.620 didn't say, don't vote for the Liberals. It just said, Liberanos, liberanos.ca, buy the book.
02:17:16.500 And it had like the front cover of the book on it. But, you know, that's, but like, because the legacy
02:17:21.620 media knows independent media, or not the legacy media, but because public institutions,
02:17:25.540 liberal-leaning institutions, and private liberal-leaning individuals, no independent
02:17:30.820 media individuals, even as big as Rebel News, don't have that much money, that they're assuming
02:17:34.980 that they can bully you into non-existence. Where legacy media can't be bullied into non-existence,
02:17:39.780 because they are backed by the government. They can say whatever left-wing opinions they want,
02:17:44.180 and they're never going to get hit for them. And they're literally rewarded with money in bills that
02:17:48.580 the Liberals pass explicitly to attack the, uh, independent media. Bill C-18 that has shut,
02:17:54.660 uh, TNT off of Facebook. In it included a bunch of extra money for the legacy media.
02:18:01.540 I don't get any of that money. I'm not considered Canadian. Not real. And I don't want that money in
02:18:04.980 the first place. The way, the best way for TNT and other independent media to get money
02:18:09.780 is for the subsidization of other media to go away, to get rid of all of the chaff from the,
02:18:16.660 from the media space. There's so much bloat that the only way we are ever going to get advertisers or
02:18:22.260 real funding is if all of the noise is taken away and only actual good content remains after
02:18:28.580 subsidies are pulled. This is why the CBC desperately needs to be defunded. And people
02:18:32.820 are going to be like, but you're so many people are going to lose the jobs. People who are good,
02:18:36.660 good reporters and good commentators are going to stay because they will start their own brands.
02:18:41.060 They will start their own podcast. They will start their own YouTube shows. They will start their own
02:18:44.340 television and radio shows, and they will make money. Getting rid of the CBC will get rid of all the
02:18:48.660 people who weren't good enough to cut it on their own. That's all that it will do. Anyway,
02:18:53.380 so I guess to promote one more thing before I leave, I'm also running for the Calgary Signal
02:18:57.620 Hill Conservative Party nomination. If you live in Calgary Signal Hill, you know,
02:19:01.860 buy a membership for the Conservatives, vote for me number one on your ballot,
02:19:04.580 make sure everyone else in your household, 14 years and older, also has a membership that would
02:19:09.620 greatly help me out. And make sure, even if you don't live in this riding at all,
02:19:12.580 even if you live in Montreal, know which riding you live in, because if a nomination comes up
02:19:17.140 for the Conservatives or for another party you support, you want to know which federal riding
02:19:22.100 you live in, provincial riding you live in, which ward you live in, which school district you live in,
02:19:26.100 because if you don't have that knowledge, it's very hard to engage and be able to make change.
02:19:30.500 That's the problem with municipal politics. So few people are aware of who their councillor is,
02:19:35.300 how municipal politics works, how much power the mayor has, that a lot of Conservatives I find,
02:19:40.740 like in the City of Calgary, stay home. And that's how we end up with Jody Gondex operating,
02:19:45.860 are like, you know, ruling over cities like Calgary, despite the fact that she has like
02:19:50.340 the complete opposite values of the majority of residents of the city. It's just that Conservatives
02:19:55.300 don't show up and union members do. So other than that, I guess you can also donate to my Give,
02:20:00.980 Send, Go. I'll throw it in the link below or the comments if you want to donate. Don't have to,
02:20:05.780 I'm perfectly fine. I can survive on my own, but it does help me reduce the costs I have
02:20:10.580 from my lawyers. They're not even billing me very hard. So the $25,000 I've had to pay defending
02:20:16.900 myself truly represents like very careful legal spending. This has been going on for over two
02:20:24.820 years now. It started in December of 2021 and it's dragged out until now. Hopefully we'll win,
02:20:30.580 very likely we'll win. Effectively, they're just throwing paperwork at us now, just see, hoping that
02:20:35.860 they can sort of stave off the end of the suit. They know that they're not going to win, but because
02:20:40.180 it's a billionaire, he's willing to just try and inflict as much pain on me as possible. And hopefully,
02:20:45.540 I think his plan is to try and avoid having to pay me any of my costs back. But I do not think that
02:20:52.980 that's how it will happen. Fantastic. If you shared me on X, follow me on X as well. Find me at
02:21:00.100 Y underscore X. But other than that, I will see everyone next time. And hopefully the next live
02:21:05.940 stream will be with Daniel and we'll continue breaking down JB Canadian Politics 101 videos,
02:21:11.460 because I do enjoy that quite a bit.
