00:00:00.000 I'm a supporter of the right wing.
00:00:01.560 I voted conservative for one reason.
00:00:03.100 Oh my gosh, the Go-to-by-back program.
00:00:04.420 Do not get me started on that.
00:00:05.880 I hate it.
00:00:08.740 We haven't seen what Carney's done,
00:00:10.120 and he's not very vocal about what he does in office.
00:00:12.760 And like, some of the stuff that we do see
00:00:14.480 isn't necessarily related to policy.
00:00:17.220 Now, I wouldn't say that the Liberal Party
00:00:21.400 currently is not necessarily the problem.
00:00:23.480 I think it's just the management that it's under
00:00:25.040 is what the problem is.
00:00:26.740 Like, because I fall left,
00:00:27.800 And I just think necessarily that it would be, yeah.
00:00:33.900 Okay, so do you know how policy is made in the party?
00:00:37.600 Are you aware of how that works?
00:00:39.200 Yeah, the House of Commons debates and stuff like that.
00:00:42.260 No, I mean like the party.
00:00:43.800 So party policy, actually, it starts, actually there's a national council of like all these federal parties.
00:00:49.220 There's a national council and they come up with the policy that the party has to implement, right?
00:00:53.920 And then the prime minister and his cabinet are basically puppets to that policy.
00:00:58.920 So the policies that we're seeing enacted, they are the policies of the National Council of the Liberal Party.
00:01:09.280 I mean, not to say that it's necessarily that the liberals have total control over the House of Commons with that kind of stuff in the policy.
00:01:18.260 But you do have the NDP siding with them.
00:01:21.280 And I think right now they're not necessarily in a good spot to help Canada because we haven't seen any proper push for anything that's like helped us in terms of like taxes or tariffs and all that sort of stuff.
00:01:36.880 Like I'm not well versed, but like obviously the changes, there hasn't been a lot of change that has been well known with Carney right now.
00:01:45.820 Yeah. Why do you think he's spending so much? Like $100 billion deficit is what we're slated to have this year.
00:01:52.240 I'm not sure, actually.
00:01:54.500 Because, like, again, I don't know too much about what Carney does,
00:01:57.360 and I don't really necessarily follow the news.
00:02:00.980 But I don't think, I think right now, considering the debt that we're in,
00:02:05.160 I don't know why we're making more spending if you say that we are spending.
00:02:07.520 What is he spending it on?
00:02:09.360 We don't actually know a whole lot what the Liberal Party is saying.
00:02:13.040 They have a lot of slogans.
00:02:14.480 They slam the Conservatives for slogans, but they have a lot of slogans.
00:02:17.740 And one of the things is that they're making a generational investment.
00:02:20.680 They have that constantly, constantly.
00:02:22.760 Generational investment.
00:02:23.720 And they're actually telling people of my generation, your generation,
00:02:26.300 that, oh, we're going to have to make sacrifices, right?
00:02:30.020 So, like, basically more inflation and more debt,
00:02:32.980 which is not actually going to help the economy.
00:02:35.040 So what they're doing is they're actually devaluing our currency.
00:02:37.860 And that's a horrible thing.
00:02:39.700 But it does make us more dependent on them.
00:02:42.460 So I look at them with a really skeptical eye,
00:02:45.280 because if they are taking my money and literally peeing it down the drain,
00:02:49.180 in essence and deflating it or inflating its value but deflating the value of each dollar
00:02:55.080 it's it really kind of angers me because that's future generations money like it's going to
00:03:01.720 destroy our country and like the canadian dollar is worth not a lot right now it's like 72 cents
00:03:07.220 71 cents if the last time i checked and for my period of time i remember as a kid it would being
00:03:12.260 like worth more than a u.s dollar so like it's it's been devalued a lot over over the course of
00:03:18.260 who's been in office and that kind of stuff.
00:03:20.640 Now, necessarily, do you think that the Conservative Party
00:03:23.320 is better than the Liberals at the moment?
00:03:26.520 I think so, yeah.
00:03:27.540 They have a lot of really good policies
00:03:29.220 that they're saying that they should implement,
00:03:31.220 and they're really going hard on the Liberals
00:03:33.180 for not implementing these policies
00:03:34.560 and removing the bad bills that have been passed.
00:03:37.820 A lot of bad bills have been passed,
00:03:39.360 like a tanker ban, a cap on our oil production.
00:03:43.200 I think these are really bad policies
00:03:44.720 because they're just destructive to our economy.
00:03:46.720 but then all sorts of really bad stuff like too much immigration and like the debt spending of
00:03:51.920 course yeah so i think they will be a better option absolutely um now i voted conservative
00:03:58.240 for one reason and one of um polyeth's promises was to push for the development of oil refineries
00:04:04.880 because we don't refine our own oil here in canada that we have to sell it to the states
00:04:08.680 to get it to refined and we're losing value on that yes we are and that was one of the only
00:04:12.840 reasons that I did vote Poliev. However, again, I'm not a supporter of the right wing. And I think
00:04:21.740 the way it's been going is that I've been kind of pushed to vote right, which is not something I
00:04:27.400 necessarily agree with. Now, what are some of the policies that specifically that Poliev has
00:04:34.740 been advocating for that Carney hasn't been implemented? Okay, so one of the big ones for me
00:04:39.460 is bill c69 which is basically the conservatives call it a no pipelines act which it basically it
00:04:46.340 creates so much regulation to the building of pipelines um that we can't actually build new
00:04:51.240 pipelines so um the oh gosh why can't i remember the name but there was a pipeline slated to go
00:04:57.540 from alberta to ontario and west side um so that one was actually it was like being built there
00:05:04.220 was stuff happening and then it got canceled because the regulation was too much because of
00:05:08.880 this bill c69 so the conservative party wants to repeal that bill um and then the gun buyback
00:05:14.880 program they want to end i mean oh my gosh the gun buyback program do not get me started on that
00:05:19.240 now do you like it or no i hate it the okay we're spending so much money on something that is not
00:05:27.400 slated to work the way that firearms work within canada is that they're already heavily regulated
00:05:31.740 and i think that the way that we're structuring it where people won't get reimbursed or there's
00:05:38.640 not a chance that people get reimbursed even though they just gave up thousands of dollars
00:05:41.640 worth of firearms it's like why are we even doing this now when you have your own defense minister
00:05:48.000 basically saying that this isn't going to work and then has him changing his opinions on that
00:05:52.700 24 hours later it just doesn't work out right like it just does not make sense to me now
00:05:57.720 obviously there is there might be a chance that some people do want to get rid of the firearms
00:06:04.260 that they do not necessarily need,
00:06:05.840 but we don't have the infrastructure for that currently.
00:06:08.540 So why are we spending a ton of money
00:06:10.660 when we don't have the infrastructure set up,
00:06:12.340 when provinces aren't necessarily agreeing with
00:06:15.240 going through with this program?
00:06:17.980 Like, not every province wants to do this.
00:06:20.740 And personally, as a Canadian,
00:06:24.520 and knowing firearm owners,
00:06:29.080 the way that firearms are being regulated
00:06:30.700 and the way that they're being handled
00:06:31.900 by currently the Liberal government
00:06:33.780 it's not a good approach now this is i know people get a little upset when i may say this but
00:06:41.460 firearm deaths aren't caused by legal firearm owners they're caused by illegal firearm owners
00:06:47.720 so why is the liberal government banning firearms for legal firearm owners it's just a political
00:06:55.020 bargaining chip and this is what gets me very upset so it's one of the reasons i don't vote
00:07:00.680 liberal. It's just
00:07:02.280 currently the liberal government is not in a good spot
00:07:04.560 to vote for. I would vote
00:07:06.460 if we had someone like
00:07:08.300 John Kletchen back.
00:07:10.800 Yeah. Anyways, I gotta go.
00:07:12.540 Thank you.
