00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. While I knew that Justin Trudeau didn't have any honor,
00:00:06.400 I honestly assumed he was the type of narcissist who would want to try and run for re-election
00:00:11.740 in his riding of Papineau in the 2025 federal election. You know, prove all the haters wrong,
00:00:18.220 people are predicting he might lose his own seat, so run again to show that people in his local
00:00:23.360 area at the very least still like him. But Trudeau's not going to do that. Trudeau is not even running
00:00:30.780 in the 2025 federal election at all. That is the biggest sign that it is going to be an absolute
00:00:37.960 flaming wreck of an election campaign for the Liberal Party. Trudeau probably isn't even going
00:00:43.580 to be in the country when all this goes down, because I guarantee you in eight years or so,
00:00:49.640 Justin Trudeau is going to try and make a comeback, and he doesn't want an association
00:00:54.640 with the year that the Liberals lost. Obviously, everyone knows that the Liberals are going to
00:01:00.220 lose the next federal election mainly because of him, but he wants the plausible deniability of not
00:01:05.840 even being on the slate of candidates that the Liberals are running, because he really wants to
00:01:11.520 be like his dad. And his dad at one point was defeated, but then tried to make a comeback later.
00:01:17.580 It was decently successful for Pierre Elliott Trudeau, and Justin Trudeau probably wants to
00:01:23.060 repeat history. The problem is, Justin Trudeau is not his father. He is Justin Trudeau, a complete
00:01:29.520 moron. So what I think is really going to happen is that not only is Polly of the Conservatives going
00:01:34.960 to steamroll in this next election cycle, they're probably going to win the next election after that.
00:01:40.460 And if at that time Trudeau tries to make his comeback, it's only going to reignite why people
00:01:46.040 voted them out in the first place and guarantee that Polly of maybe a three or four term prime 1.00
00:01:52.200 minister. Anyways, other than that, I think we need to talk about Chrystia Freeland, because I've
00:01:59.060 been hearing rumors in the background that Justin Trudeau and Team Trudeau as a whole are trying to
00:02:05.040 force Mark Carney in as the Liberals leader. They are having to exert a lot of force because Mark Carney
00:02:11.220 does not have a personality, and he could probably be easily beaten by even a slightly competent
00:02:16.760 politician. But so far, all the official candidates in the Liberal Party leadership election race
00:02:21.960 are mostly nobodies. Chrystia Clark already suspended her campaign, and so who's left right now?
00:02:28.560 Karina Gould, Jamie Batsy, Frank Bayless, Chandra Aria. Not a lot of competition for Mark Carney. And there
00:02:36.280 was a rumor floating around today that Chrystia Freeland may not even run for the leadership. I
00:02:42.020 guess she got cold feet and decided that, wait, I'm an extremely boring person. Why am I attempting
00:02:47.960 to run for leader? But apparently she has taken this rumor to mean a challenge, and she's posted
00:02:53.640 something today to indicate that, yes, indeed, she is going to run against Mark Carney. This is going to
00:03:00.240 be the most beige-colored leadership race you've ever seen. These are the most boring people on the 0.98
00:03:05.980 planet, and they are going to fight, and everyone is going to fall asleep while it's happening.
00:03:10.440 But she posted this oddly uncanny photo today to, like, let people know that she has something
00:03:16.920 cooking in the background. So Chrystia Freeland says, fifth cup of tea, and the calls aren't stopping.
00:03:23.100 Grateful for the chance to hear from you and listen to your ideas, fellow Liberals. I'll have much more to
00:03:29.000 say very soon. Obviously, she's running for leader, but oh my goodness, who took this photo? There's
00:03:34.660 four phones sitting on this table. There's two empty cups of tea, and then she has one, like, half full
00:03:41.160 one sitting in her hand there. And, like, the table has, like, all of these, like, pockmarks in it. Like,
00:03:46.640 someone took, like, a screwdriver to it the day before. I don't know who approved this photo to go out.
00:03:53.100 Maybe she's trying to go for this, like, homey feeling, like, oh, hey, it's just your kitchen
00:03:58.720 table at home. You know, the one that the kids have kind of, like, like, jammed forks into and
00:04:04.520 all that stuff. But this looks like they found a table behind a crack shack somewhere and then made
00:04:10.280 it her, like, campaign office, like, war room table. Plus, whose phones are all these? This looks like
00:04:16.740 her business is failing and all the creditors are trying to come after her right now. This is, like,
00:04:21.880 the POV of what you see when your business is going under. And again, did she want people to just
00:04:28.600 leave, like, empty cups around the table to show that she's really drinking tea right now? I don't
00:04:35.160 know, but strategists are very strange people. If you ever bump into a campaign strategist or a
00:04:41.640 campaign consultant, scream for help and run the other direction because they will make sure that
00:04:47.800 you lose whatever race you are trying to win. Campaign strategists and many managers don't
00:04:53.880 actually know how average people think. And that's how you get a photo like this. A photo that indicates
00:05:00.640 that they were trying to go for something homey, but ended up just making it feel crack shacky.
00:05:07.080 Anyways, I need to move on to another piece of news because this is actually some bad news for Mark
00:05:13.240 Carney. You see, Mark Carney is supposedly going to be announcing his official start to the
00:05:19.240 leadership race on Thursday tomorrow in Edmonton. And the rumor was that Mark Carney is going to want
00:05:26.520 to run as a liberal candidate in the city of Edmonton. He was born in the Northwest Territories,
00:05:32.280 which is, like, the only interesting thing about him. But there is already a liberal MP who is planning
00:05:37.720 on staying in the Northwest Territories. So then Mark Carney was going to run in, like,
00:05:43.000 Edmonton Center and take over for Randy Boissoneau, who is obviously mired in scandal after it was
00:05:50.120 exposed that he was still running this fraudulent, like, healthcare ventilator mask company with his
00:05:56.280 weirdo friends while he was a minister. So, like, Randy Boissoneau was an MP between 2015 and 2019.
00:06:04.040 He lost re-election. And then during COVID, he started this weirdo, fakey healthcare company with his
00:06:09.320 friends. But then he was still operating it after he then was re-elected in 2021 and was a minister.
00:06:16.200 And so then he tried to blame it all on another Randy. Oh, all these text messages and emails
00:06:21.480 showing that Randy was doing this and that. That was actually other Randy. Totally couldn't have been
00:06:26.440 Randy Boissoneau. But Randy is now going to run for re-election, completely screwing over Mark Carney,
00:06:33.320 unless Mark Carney then becomes leader and then just forcibly doesn't let Randy Boissoneau run in
00:06:38.360 Edmonton Center. Because there is no other riding that the Liberals could win in the city other than
00:06:43.000 Edmonton Center. And so if Carney announces he's running from Edmonton, it's going to seem like
00:06:49.800 really weird that he then suddenly just says, but I'm going to be running in like Winnipeg or whatever
00:06:55.240 riding. I'm going to run in the Yukon, not the place I am announcing. You would assume you're going to
00:06:59.480 announce where you're planning on running if that was the image you're going for, unless you're going
00:07:04.040 to announce in Toronto or like Ottawa. But Kirk Lubomov here says, Liberal MP Randy Boissoneau
00:07:11.240 announces that he will seek re-election and endorses Christy Freeland for Liberal Party leader.
00:07:16.840 Another indication that Freeland is absolutely in the race. And then he then LeCurk says other Randy
00:07:23.480 concur. This is interesting as Mark Carney is set to run in Edmonton or Randy is an MP.
00:07:29.160 internal politics in display. And so Randy Boissoneau's letter here says, I am excited to
00:07:35.880 announce today that I will seek re-election as the Member of Parliament at Edmonton Center and that
00:07:41.240 I hope to do so under the leadership of Christy Freeland in the 2025 election. That is really funny.
00:07:49.240 Because again, Randy's trying to box out Mark Carney. And now for Mark Carney to get rid of Randy Boissoneau,
00:07:56.440 Mark Carney is going to have to do what no Liberal has been willing to do, call out Randy for being
00:08:02.040 a fraudster in order to force him out of the seat. This is going to be an interesting campaign. While
00:08:09.160 Mark Carney and Christy Freeland are again the two most boring people on the planet, they are the Xanax
00:08:15.880 of candidates. They are going to have a lot of these weirdo internal knife fights going on in order to
00:08:22.200 try and cut each other off from being able to win. They don't have interesting personalities,
00:08:27.240 but the internal conflict is going to be pretty nasty trying to box out the supporters of each
00:08:33.080 person. I guarantee that in the next federal election, if this gets really nasty, the Liberals
00:08:38.200 aren't even going to be able to field a full slate of candidates because there's going to be such bad
00:08:42.920 blood and so many people getting whacked in their nominations that a lot of people are just going to
00:08:47.480 throw up their hands and say, I don't want the nomination anyways. I was probably going to lose
00:08:51.880 anyways. Okay. So that's it for me today, guys. Trudeau's out. Freeland's in. Mark Carney's upset
00:09:01.240 with Randy. This thing's going to be a complete on-fire clown car. Subscribe to the channel because

00:09:12.440 that great stuff. I'll see you next time.
