00:00:00.000 In the midst of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau being stuck at the G20 summit in India and being rightfully lambasted by the Indian media, sick of his enabling of the extreme anti-India, Calistani movements in Canada, it's a big wonder to who even likes Justin Trudeau anymore.
00:00:15.360 Obviously, on the international stage, I think a lot of our allies have gotten very sick of how pretentious Justin Trudeau is, constantly lecturing them on climate and social issues and then undermining other allies like India.
00:00:27.840 It seems like the only countries that still like Justin Trudeau are the ones that you really wouldn't want liking you.
00:00:33.520 Places like China and Iran. Iran, a country that Justin Trudeau quite literally lets get away with murder. 0.96
00:00:40.260 Anyways, but back here in Canada, we've been seeing the big polling trend that the Conservatives are way in the lead, 14% above the Liberals.
00:00:47.780 But if you were to think about what a typical Liberal voter looks like these days, I feel like it'd be really hard to conceptualize it.
00:00:54.240 While the Liberals still have that kind of 26 to 30% of the vote, it's not really what I would consider a particularly stable group of people anymore.
00:01:02.560 But what I want to focus on today is talking about who I think are kind of the remaining base of the Liberal Party keeping it on life support right now.
00:01:10.640 Because I think if they slip even just a few more points in the polling, the Liberal Party's vote could just completely collapse with a lot of people's thinking that's not even worth showing up for them anymore because they just can't win an election.
00:01:21.260 So, you know, they might vote NDP, Green, Block, or just stay home entirely.
00:01:25.580 But I'm making this video trying to kind of explain the three groups that I think are the kind of toxic groups that are keeping the Liberal Party limping along.
00:01:34.220 This video is kind of made in conjunction with Chris from the Great Canadian Bagel podcast because I was recently on one of his podcasts and we were just talking about the concept of a lot of Liberal people voting Liberal out as a sign of their status in society rather than out of a genuine support for Liberal policies.
00:01:52.500 So I'm going to be breaking this all down into three different groups using one of the charts that Chris got me from a recent Angus Reid poll to sort of illustrate the point.
00:01:59.940 So out of the three groups that I think are still supporting the Liberals and keeping them on life support, the first and most obvious is obviously social activists.
00:02:09.040 It's the super socially progressive activists who love the virtue signaling from Justin Trudeau.
00:02:14.760 They hate traditional values.
00:02:16.580 So they like voting for Justin Trudeau because he keeps, you know, social conservatives at bay.
00:02:22.200 He's radically pro-abortion.
00:02:24.400 He's radically pro-trans.
00:02:26.220 He's radically in favor of, you know, undermining parental rights and all that stuff.
00:02:30.960 That's the one that I think everyone understands.
00:02:32.980 And I think those are the sort of his most visually sort of present supporters where you don't get that many, you know, average middle class businessmen or, you know, families saying, oh, we just love the policies of Justin Trudeau.
00:02:46.000 Obviously not.
00:02:46.900 He's been really deeply hurting them.
00:02:49.220 But the other two are the ones that you probably don't think of as often.
00:02:52.200 The first one is subsidy voters.
00:02:55.460 And when I say this, I mean people who are in business, but only in business because they get government grants.
00:03:01.880 This covers people who run green energy companies.
00:03:05.160 This covers nonprofits as well as monopolistic organizations.
00:03:09.360 Well, not quite monopolistic, but like very close to monopolistic organizations like Loblaws who effectively benefit from all the bad regulations the Liberals pass because it undermines smaller scale competition
00:03:20.520 and make sure that they keep market dominance.
00:03:22.840 In the case of the green energy companies, obviously, a lot of these wind, solar and EV manufacturers wouldn't really be around unless they were getting large portions of their money from the government.
00:03:33.560 It's always nonsense whenever people say, well, you know, the oil and gas industry gets more grants from the government or gets more money from the government.
00:03:40.580 That's true in raw dollars.
00:03:42.360 But these oil and gas companies can actually turn a profit without the government's help.
00:03:46.140 The EV companies, the green energy, solar, wind companies, they can't.
00:03:51.320 The thing is that they would immediately go out of business if they were not getting billions of dollars from the government every single year.
00:03:57.000 It's effectively subsidizing all their losses and just they're just cutting themselves a check by just sort of like running their their their business in the most mediocre way possible.
00:04:07.840 And then, of course, there's also the nonprofit organizations, which I'm not sure if you know this, but in the terms of the GDP of Canada, nonprofits made up make up 8.7 percent.
00:04:17.760 And nonprofits aren't bad.
00:04:19.060 There's a lot of great nonprofits out there.
00:04:20.500 But there's also a lot of nonprofits out there where it's effectively just D.E.I. diversity type training, anti-hate sort of groups that get hundreds of thousands of dollars each to effectively serve nobody.
00:04:33.280 They maybe go and consult the government themselves.
00:04:35.800 They go work for private organizations or they raise awareness and they're activists in the community organizing the community.
00:04:43.200 These people are effectively their own their own sort of grift industry and they get tons of money every year to basically do nothing.
00:04:50.120 And they tend to be these higher network voters as well, because, you know, as long as they keep their costs down, they can write themselves a pretty big weight, a pretty big salary every single year.
00:05:00.600 So that's the that's the second group.
00:05:02.540 So there's a social activist and then there's the subsidy voters.
00:05:04.880 And the third is what I would call elite government officials.
00:05:09.640 These are judges.
00:05:11.100 There are lawyers who work for the government, advisors, ministers, other sorts of people who work for the government who make an over two hundred thousand dollar salary.
00:05:19.280 The Dr. Theresa Tams of the world, the people who effectively live to advise the government on terrible policy or they work in some sort of elite position that pays extremely well.
00:05:29.420 And they kind of vote for the Liberal Party to signal their status of their either the support for the sort of social views of the Liberal government or they're effectively voting for the Liberals to basically keep and hold on to their elite positions.
00:05:44.620 This is why we have scandals in Canada of judges giving a lot of money to the Liberal Party.
00:05:49.500 The Liberal Party tends to enrich a lot of these rich elite people inside the government, even though the government is usually meant to be more of a thing that you work at that gives you some job stability.
00:06:01.800 It's harder to get fired, but you don't usually get paid as much.
00:06:04.340 Maybe you get a nice pension, but you're not supposed to be making as much as people in the private sector.
00:06:08.260 Under Justin Trudeau, that's completely flipped.
00:06:10.140 You get a fantastic pension and you get a fantastic salary and there's no way they're ever going to fire you.
00:06:16.060 So that makes up the third group of people that are like voting Liberal.
00:06:20.720 And I'll pull up the chart right now that Chris gave me because this really, really hammers it home.
00:06:25.280 Because although the Conservative Party is pretty much leading with every single demographic outside of those who make less than $25,000 a year,
00:06:33.040 the Liberals have disproportionate support as the demographics get richer.
00:06:37.420 So their support is only around 26%, 23% with those who make between $25,000, $50,000, $50,000, $100,000.
00:06:47.200 But once you get up to the $200,000 plus bracket, they have 31% support.
00:06:54.620 And remember that in this poll, I believe that they're only doing about 27% overall or 26%.
00:07:00.300 So they disproportionately are winning these richer voters, even though the Conservative Party tends to have actually a fairly consistent support base
00:07:11.760 between the $50,000 and $100,000 crowd to the $200,000 crowd with, of course, the under $25,000 being very divided up.
00:07:19.320 Because, of course, you know, voters who are not making a lot of money tend to be more, not desperate, but they're willing to try new parties out.
00:07:26.840 So a lot more of them will vote NDP, Liberal, Conservative, and Green more than any other sort of demographic in terms of the diversity of their choices.
00:07:35.420 But with the Liberal Party, it has definitely become a party where the people who are voting for it are either voting because out of basically social activism,
00:07:43.660 or they stand to benefit a lot financially from the government.
00:07:49.340 It is a lot of the people who are being paid massive salaries in the government who the Liberals have been giving massive pay raises over the last eight years,
00:07:57.160 or it's those who work in these subsidized industries or nonprofits who wouldn't exist without the Liberal support.
00:08:03.600 So I think this really is demonstrating that I think what's holding the Liberals in place right now is a combination between crazy social activists who just hate Conservatives
00:08:12.980 and people who need the Liberals to stick around if their businesses are going to survive, businesses with no legitimate reason to be sticking around.
00:08:21.860 Anyways, I just want to pull up one more chart here, too, just to hammer this home,
00:08:25.420 because it doesn't look like there's even that many people, according to this abacus data poll, that even really want Justin Trudeau to stick around.
00:08:33.820 So when it comes to wanting change, there's only 17% of people who actually want to reelect the Liberal government,
00:08:40.120 according to this abacus data poll, with the vast majority of people, 84%, wanting some form of change.
00:08:46.040 And I think that this is a great way of saying that there is this hardcore base of 17% who effectively do not care about corruption.
00:08:54.380 They don't care about the misuse of government funds.
00:08:57.100 They don't care about undermining Canadians' charter rights.
00:08:59.660 They are supporters of just big government liberalism.
00:09:03.780 They don't actually care if the policies work or not, because as long as the policies work for them personally, that's enough for them.
00:09:09.860 And I think that you can see this reflected in Justin Trudeau's approval rating.
00:09:13.820 It's been absolutely slumping hard, but the disapproval rating has been skyrocketing.
00:09:18.740 But I would say for the last year, it's kind of the approval rating has stagnated,
00:09:22.800 because I think there is a floor of people who rely on Justin Trudeau to get by in life,
00:09:28.000 so that they'll never quite fully turn on him.
00:09:31.320 But anyways, I just wanted to make this video because I thought Chris from the Great Canadian Bagel podcast
00:09:36.660 really made a great point by just showing and proving our point correct on his podcast,
00:09:41.840 that liberal voters are luxury voters.
00:09:44.540 There's a reason why liberal voters are also disproportionately concerned about the environment,
00:09:49.500 even past NDP voters, because they are voters who tend to be disproportionately wealthy
00:09:54.940 and able to pay for the costs of terrible environmental policy.
00:09:59.060 Even if it doesn't work, they dislike the fact that they support environmental initiatives.
00:10:03.100 They don't actually care if they work or not, because at the end of the day,
00:10:06.740 it's all about either getting paid through your subsidized industries or your government salary
00:10:12.740 or supporting the social beliefs or the very highfalutin luxury social beliefs that you hold,
00:10:18.960 whereas the Conservative Party tends to have a very diverse base of people who care about
00:10:23.260 managing their legitimate businesses, care about family values,
00:10:26.740 and don't want the government prying into their lives.
00:10:31.000 But anyways, that's it for me today.
00:10:32.340 Hopefully this wasn't too rambly by the end, but obviously I have my donation link like I usually do
00:10:37.180 in the comments, just my Give, Send, Go campaign to help raise money to fight off a Chinese billionaire
00:10:43.140 trying to sue me.
00:10:44.120 I've already paid $15,000 defending myself.
00:10:46.660 And also you can sign up for TNT emails in the description below,
00:10:50.400 just so that you can get my videos and my articles sent directly to your inbox,
00:10:54.880 rather than hopefully waiting for a YouTube or Facebook or Google algorithm to show me
00:11:00.200 to show you my videos, which is always annoying that like I'll put out a video and only like 20 of
00:11:07.920 my subscribers will have seen it because for some reason YouTube just chooses not to show people.
00:11:13.300 Anyways, that should be it for me today and have a great day.
