The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Why are 25% of Canadians still voting Liberal？!？ (Stockholm Syndrome)

00:00:00.000 Things are so bad right now for the Liberal Party of Canada. I am seeing Liberal influencers and

00:00:06.620 organizers online celebrating a new Leger poll that only has the Liberals at 25%. 18% behind

00:00:16.320 the Conservatives' 43%, but apparently this is great progress. Liberal talking head here Evan

00:00:22.960 Scrimshaw says that's an eight-point swing since the last Leger poll. That's now five pollsters

00:00:28.860 showing a 5% swing or higher this month. ECOS, Main Street, Abacus, Leger, Angus Reid. Okay, well,

00:00:37.320 the problem is Abacus, Leger, and Angus Reid all show the Liberals only in the mid-20s and the

00:00:43.960 Conservatives still in the mid-40s. You're not going to win this next federal election. And then ECOS

00:00:49.560 is showing the Liberals only 5% behind the Conservatives, but ECOS's polls are so cattywampus,

00:00:56.120 who would even trust them? They have the Greens at 18% in the polls in Atlantic Canada and the PPC

00:01:03.580 at 10% in Atlantic Canada and 12% in the prairies. I wouldn't trust those, but the Liberals are so

00:01:10.700 desperate they will literally believe any push-poll that they see online to convince themselves that

00:01:15.880 Canadians will give them a fourth chance. They will not. But the topic of this video today is why is

00:01:23.300 there even Canadians supporting the Liberal Party anymore? And I want to go through the real reasons

00:01:27.900 why there are still people who will legitimately vote Liberal, as well as those who seem to be only

00:01:33.960 voting Liberal out of an idea that they're not Conservative. Because this is what I mean when I

00:01:39.180 say that there is a lot of Stockholm Syndrome inside the Liberal Party support base right now. People who

00:01:45.640 vote Liberal because they vote Liberal and they're not Conservative, so they vote Liberal. Have the

00:01:50.400 Liberals actually delivered anything good? No, but these people will list you all the stupid programs 0.80

00:01:55.860 they've created, even though they know in their own hearts and minds that they have not actually

00:02:01.300 helped Canadians. I always like when people list all of the new programs the government creates

00:02:06.500 as an achievement, even though we all know from an objective standpoint that if Harper was still the

00:02:12.760 Prime Minister, we wouldn't even need these programs because everyone would be better off.

00:02:16.380 But for some reason in Liberal circles, you get credit for bringing a package of Band-Aids to try and fix the

00:02:23.720 wound that you caused. I don't get it, but this is just how people are thinking. But before I get more

00:02:30.400 into it, guys, remember, like this video, subscribe to the channel. I'm trying to get to 100,000 new

00:02:36.020 subscribers by mid-December. And then also leave a comment, really helps us out in the algorithms.

00:02:42.000 But without further ado, there is some polling I want to highlight right now because it really does

00:02:48.220 demonstrate just how maddeningly committed certain people are to the Liberal Party. Actually, before I

00:02:55.620 get into that, I just want to show you this. Sorry, I have moved over to the dark side because I am

00:03:00.920 wearing the new communist uniform of Canada, which is the gray sweater with a popping out light-colored

00:03:07.740 shirt on top. I am now evil because I've put on the evil outfit. Hope you all forgive me. I just

00:03:14.280 found that very funny. I didn't even try to do that. I saw that post last night by Marty up north,

00:03:18.960 but it never connected in my head. When I was donning the sweater, I'm just feeling very sweater-ish

00:03:25.280 these days and, you know, didn't want to put on jackets all the time. So I am now sweater Wyatt.

00:03:31.140 But that means I'm also a liberal, apparently. But yeah, that was funny that Marty up north posted that.

00:03:37.000 And then this just happened to work out. But look at this polling of first all Canadians. And this

00:03:42.820 all Canadians result is already bad enough. But then you get to the Liberals' impressions of the

00:03:48.540 main leadership candidates. And it's wild. I don't care about going through Karina Gould's

00:03:53.320 numbers because they don't really matter. She's a complete also-ran candidate. But look at this. 0.89

00:04:00.320 Leader net favorables. With all Canadians, Mark Carney has a net favorable rating of plus 13.

00:04:07.440 Freeland only has a negative one. And Gould has a negative four for whatever that means to you.

00:04:13.440 But Carney has a plus 13. And let's be clear, like conservatives, probably NDP and Greens and

00:04:20.360 Block all don't really like him. There's probably some red Tories in there thinking,

00:04:24.700 oh, he's a very respectable man. He cuts a good jib and wears a good gray sweater.

00:04:29.020 But look at the Liberal numbers. Carney plus 59. Freeland plus 54. If you ever poll conservatives

00:04:39.000 in their leadership races of what they think about their candidates, the numbers tend to be more

00:04:44.360 realistic. Yes, Jean Charest is a conservative. Yes, you know, Leslie Lewis, Pierre Polyev, Scott Aitchison,

00:04:50.900 Roman Baber are conservatives. But conservatives will have very wildly different opinions on each one of

00:04:56.920 them. Because it's not a cult. It's not a cult where you have to like anyone who's wearing the

00:05:03.240 uniform. But inside the Liberal Party, and also inside the NDP, there is such a mentality that you

00:05:09.200 follow the party because you follow the party, like I was referring to before. They could hurt you every

00:05:14.500 single year they're in government. Passing policies that make your life worse, mass immigration, 1.00

00:05:19.040 lowering per capita incomes, lowering social cohesion. Crime is literally up. Violent crime,

00:05:25.580 which is a statistic that cannot be cheated, because no one's ever going to decriminalize

00:05:29.760 murder or like assault. Those numbers are up 49% since 2015. But these people, knowing that stuff,

00:05:38.900 living life and knowing there's more crime around them, I will see liberals online support the policies

00:05:45.180 of the liberals that are increasing violent crime because, well, overall crime since 2015 is only up

00:05:50.980 7% or 10%. And our population has grown enough that technically crime's down. The problem with that

00:05:58.740 perspective is crime happens in a geographic area. If your neighborhood originally had 400 people in it,

00:06:06.800 it's not a very well-developed area. And then in time, there's like 2,500 people. Would you be okay

00:06:12.740 with a certain amount of vandalism, a certain amount of drug sales, a certain amount of assault

00:06:17.480 going on? Because the population's gone up. So relatively, crime's gone down because there

00:06:22.780 are four stabbings on the street, and there weren't any before. But when you take into account the

00:06:28.640 population, our part of the town's like eight times bigger, and we've only gotten four stabbings.

00:06:34.200 That's not how stuff works. But I will see liberals defending policy failures because, well,

00:06:41.620 hey, did you read this study? This study tells you that it's actually okay for more people to be ODing

00:06:47.920 because our per capita ODing rate is actually going down because we have people getting injected by

00:06:53.840 Narcon kits every five seconds. So more people, raw total, are dying every year. But the amount of

00:07:01.540 times to overdose before you die has gone up. You have to overdose like 10 times before you die of a drug

00:07:09.680 overdose rather than just three like it was in the Harper years. Oh, those horrible Harper years back

00:07:14.700 when less people did drugs. There was less crime. It is Stockholm syndrome to believe that any of these

00:07:21.180 people are going to fix the problems. But people like to be fooled. Look at this. Who should replace

00:07:27.300 Trudeau? All Canadians, and this is only asking them, obviously, about Liberal Party candidates.

00:07:32.640 You have people, all Canadians saying 34% Kearney, 14% Freeland, 4% Gould. That's at least a realistic 0.91

00:07:40.940 type number because it's, you know, it's basically saying who do you recognize the name of? And Kearney's

00:07:46.520 been blasted over every single media outlet everywhere you can see in the last month or so. So I can see

00:07:54.120 why 34% of Canadians would say Kearney if they had to choose. But Liberals, 57% are going to vote for Mark

00:08:02.200 Kearney basically because Trudeau told them to. 17% only voting Freeland or saying they'd vote

00:08:07.500 Freeland. Obviously, these are not all Liberal members. So the actual opinions of Liberal members

00:08:13.180 paying more attention might be completely different. Ruby Dalla might win, in fact. But 57% of people 1.00

00:08:19.240 are voting Kearney. And again, make no mistake, it's because Team Trudeau is backing him. So they wanted

00:08:24.660 Trudeau himself out because he was a mess. But these same people are like, please fool me again.

00:08:30.440 Please just tell me it's all going to be all right. Whisper sweet nothings about how big Mark

00:08:36.880 Kearney's resume is in my ear. And I will vote for him. I'll pretend he's great. Polyev bad. Why? 1.00

00:08:45.160 Nah. He's a career politician. You guys have tons of career politicians in your party. Who cares? Also,

00:08:51.320 his results are good. Your results suck. It's actually one of those things that makes me somewhat agree

00:08:58.480 with Stephen Michael Davis on YouTube. He's a libertarian YouTuber. And I generally agree

00:09:04.440 with his point. And he's making more of a state like I'm making more of a deep point with is not

00:09:08.960 making an overarching point. But he says that democracy is overrated. Not that we shouldn't

00:09:14.180 vote on things or have like, you know, issues be dealt with in the public through people being

00:09:20.780 able to input their opinions. But democracy is overrated because there are so many people who do

00:09:26.360 not take the issue seriously. There are people who are pensioners, people who are public sector

00:09:33.460 employees, all these individuals who truly do not care about the realities of the country.

00:09:39.460 They have their pension and their entire vote is all to do with the pension. And I'm not trying to

00:09:44.880 make that up. The demographic right now that the liberals do the best with across all polling is

00:09:50.580 people 65 years and older. And if you're watching this channel, and you're in that age demographic,

00:09:56.040 I guarantee you do not agree with other people in that age demographic group. But still, that's

00:10:01.200 maddening that there are people who will basically wreck the country, import literally a million people 0.99

00:10:08.240 a year into Canada as temporary foreign workers and whatnot to keep feeding the pensions.

00:10:13.200 That's actually delusional and dysfunctional. That there are people who do not think of the

00:10:18.440 country past like very minute personal financial matters. That I might be able to get more money by

00:10:26.420 the government taxing other people more and then them paying me into my pension. What? And then you

00:10:31.480 get government workers who literally will vote so that nobody ever gets fired from doing useless fake

00:10:37.060 jobs. There are so many fake jobs in Canada. It's nuts. Do you think all those consultants in

00:10:43.060 the liberal government right now are grinding it out every day coming up with very functional

00:10:47.960 products and services? Not a chance. Imagine going to work every day getting paid six figures

00:10:55.420 and not feeling the imposter syndrome of knowing that you might as well just play Tetris all day and

00:11:01.240 it wouldn't have affected anyone's lives. You doing your job or not doing your job doesn't matter

00:11:05.780 because your job is useless in the first place. This is what the liberal government and the liberal

00:11:10.280 support base is made up of. It's here voting other people's money to yourself. I know that people's

00:11:16.300 pensions are important and you should have your pension paid for. Also we should make sure inflation

00:11:20.820 doesn't go up so we don't have to keep increasing pensions to keep up with the fact that everything's

00:11:24.960 becoming unaffordable. But there are certain groups of people in Canada who only vote for the most

00:11:31.100 one-dimensional things. Just no care for the country. And these same people back Doug Ford and

00:11:37.000 Justin Trudeau's Team Canada approach to the U.S. tariff issue. Instead of dealing with border

00:11:41.680 security and actually increasing military spending so that Trump can't say that he's subsidizing us

00:11:46.580 anymore. No let's have a fight over tariffs. Let's let's have let's enter a trade war. All these people

00:11:54.060 want to enter a trade war. We've been advocating for higher taxes on upper income people and businesses

00:11:59.740 and whatnot. Ruin our own economy domestically. But then as soon as Trump comes around he wants to put a

00:12:04.740 tariff on us potentially. Suddenly let's go to war. Let's get into fighting mode. You guys are not

00:12:11.460 even in reality. If you're going to kick the economy in the stomach for decades advocating against every

00:12:19.180 pipeline. And again I'm just talking generally to the 25 percent still voting liberal and the 16

00:12:24.780 still voting NDP. You're going to keep voting for politicians who kick the economy the private sector

00:12:29.900 the resource sector in the stomach. And then when Trump comes around and might want to put a tariff

00:12:34.700 on us. Now now it's serious mode. Are you going to advocate for tax reductions now to make our

00:12:41.500 economy more competitive? Nah. Nah. Let's have a relief package that gives me more money for doing

00:12:47.960 nothing. Let's have a bigger relief package so that I can survive the tariffs that I have helped spur on by

00:12:54.300 electing the worst possible politicians to deal with the border, to deal with our economy, to deal

00:12:59.440 with our military, all this other stuff. Let's just make sure that people who are currently working in

00:13:04.880 the economy have it harder because I want to feel good and progressive in who I vote for.

00:13:12.000 Children. Children. There are so many people who are like who are 15 year olds their entire life.

00:13:19.400 They have a 15 year old mentality their entire life. Have you ever watched these channels like

00:13:23.580 Caleb Hammer and other individuals who just financially audit people who are in their like

00:13:28.980 late 20s or 30s who truly don't understand the value of money and they're in like massive debt

00:13:34.040 because they've never thought about it? That's the people running our government. That is many of the

00:13:38.720 people voting for these people in the government. People who don't understand how to save money and

00:13:43.340 then they blame it on those who do save money for all their problems. This is why there is so much

00:13:48.420 Stockholm syndrome in the liberal party right now because we can't be the problem. Our voting patterns,

00:13:55.380 our spending patterns, all this stuff cannot be the problem. It's other people's problems. It's

00:14:00.800 obviously the problem of those nasty conservatives who aren't even in government right now because

00:14:05.860 they would do vaguely bad things that I can't even detail out if they were it. Good job guys.

00:14:13.120 Good job. And now we're gonna have to wait until October for the next election because Ford and

00:14:17.920 Trudeau are doing the stupid Team Canada thing and Ford wants an election because Ford is a complete

00:14:23.340 narcissist. And although he is the leader of this Team Canada movement, which Scott Moe and Danielle

00:14:29.200 Smith are doing a good job of mostly avoiding getting involved with, that he is putting himself

00:14:33.920 in front of the country despite him being Mr. Team Canada. Canada's not for sale. By the way,

00:14:39.260 let me have a year and a half early election because Ford wants another four years before

00:14:44.720 Polioff becomes prime minister and the standards for what a conservative are go up because Ford is

00:14:50.700 not a conservative. I have seen people in my comments who make the asinine assumption that

00:14:55.380 I have to vote Ford again or the liberals could get in. Name me a difference between Bonnie Crombie and 1.00

00:15:02.580 Doug Ford. In fact, Bonnie Crombie was actually less pro lockdown than Doug Ford was during COVID. 1.00

00:15:09.260 She has the same subsidy mentality towards the economy, the same green energy boondoggle programs 1.00

00:15:15.560 that Ford funds that she would fund. Ford and the Trudeau liberals have gone in on so many subsidy

00:15:21.240 programs together. They both subsidized the stupid cricket factory in wherever that was in Ontario.

00:15:28.700 Both of the governments did that. The Trudeau liberals got all the heat because frankly, there is a lot of

00:15:33.700 conservative media in this country who will never mention that Ford has failed on all those things

00:15:37.820 because you don't want to not get invited to the party. But like, it's nuts out there. All the

00:15:43.580 things that the Ford government has done and you'll still have people saying, well, I can't have Crombie

00:15:48.700 in the far left win. They're literally the same. They are both surface level against the carbon tax,

00:15:55.820 but they both back industrial carbon taxes. What else are you voting for for Ford? It's Stockholm syndrome

00:16:03.420 for the Ford PCs as well. I can't leave him. I love him. No, you don't. Stop it. Stop voting liberal.

00:16:10.700 Stop voting PC. If they are failing on policy, stop voting for them. Vote for the new blue party in

00:16:16.700 Ontario. Vote for the federal conservatives nationally. My goodness, people, this is a long rant, but I feel

00:16:23.340 like I have to go on every time I see these like ridiculous poll numbers where people are always

00:16:27.580 like, oh, let's, let's, uh, yeah, let's vote liberal again. Why? Oh, it's because, uh, Polyev's far right.

00:16:34.220 Here's Jagmeet Singh trying to justify himself and now basically holding off on a no confidence vote.

00:16:40.460 There are some people that are losing hope. So I want to speak directly to those folks. For folks that are

00:16:45.020 worried and maybe afraid of Pierre Polyev and the conservatives, I want you to know that we are building a

00:16:50.860 movement that for folks that are afraid of the conservatives and people who feel let down by

00:16:55.020 the liberals stand with us. We are building a movement and together we can fight and we can win.

00:17:00.460 And I know you are afraid of Pierre Polyev. If you're, if you are afraid of Pierre Polyev,

00:17:05.660 take some lithium and stop voting because you, you're not at the capacity to vote in an election.

00:17:12.140 If Pierre Polyev cutting wasteful spending is terrifying to you. What?

00:17:17.740 No, Canadians believe in a universal healthcare system. They believe in our system. They want it

00:17:23.100 to be stronger. So when were the conservatives going to end the universal healthcare system?

00:17:26.700 That's never been on the cards, but anyone who wants to protect our healthcare system, join us

00:17:31.180 for anyone out there that thinks pension should be there and should be even stronger.

00:17:35.180 That pensions should be there and be stronger. The fear mongering, the Stockholm syndrome fear

00:17:41.420 mongering that you better not leave me or the conservatives are going to get rid of your pension.

00:17:47.740 That's not even real. When has any conservative proposed getting rid of pensions? Ever. It's never

00:17:54.700 happened. But Jagmeet Singh and Trudeau and the liberals and Carney and Freeland to a lesser extent

00:18:00.540 play on the utter just facile stupidity of some people willing to just keep voting because there is

00:18:08.060 a fantasy book they once read where they'll let the conservatives push their grandmother down the

00:18:11.980 stairs in their inner wheelchair and then they stole her pension out of her back pocket. Never happened.

00:18:18.700 Literally has never happened. But you will have people, mostly people with way too much time on

00:18:23.580 their hands talking about all the conservatives they're going to cut and don't you remember how

00:18:27.340 bad it was when the conservatives were around? It might be bad if you're a lazy do nothing who doesn't

00:18:31.660 actually work when the conservatives are around. But I feel like that's good universal justice that you

00:18:37.580 don't get much when you don't do anything. Anyways, that's it for me today guys. Like, share, and subscribe.

00:18:44.940 A bit of a rant video, but I'll see you guys later.
