Western Standard - Pierre Poilievre Calgary Whistle Stop

00:00:00.000 ...where hard work will get you something and help you succeed for all Canadians.

00:00:18.760 because after this lost liberal decade crime is up costs are up our economy is down and under the

00:00:33.040 thumb of the Americans and I think you'll agree with me that the liberals do not deserve a fourth

00:00:40.660 term. It is time to put Canada first for a change. Under a new Conservative

00:00:56.340 government that will axe taxes, build homes, unleash our resources, stop the

00:01:03.060 crime and bring home jobs to stand up to Trump from a position of strength.

00:01:15.840 Pierre Polyev is the only one to bring real change to Canada.

00:01:22.180 So it is my great honor and my great privilege to introduce to you the only leader that will

00:01:29.040 bring real change to Canada, Calgary's own Pierre Polyev.

00:01:59.040 There's something all generations can have and can hold

00:02:23.480 It's our own, it's our own, it's our own, there's something that's logic about, there's

00:02:45.760 something brand new about.

00:03:38.580 And all you can see is more than just a place

00:03:42.480 Where freedom rolls

00:03:45.980 It's our home

00:03:49.480 There's something tender about

00:03:54.260 There's something hidden about

00:03:58.200 There's something all generations

00:04:02.420 Can have and can hold

00:04:04.420 We break down the walls

00:04:06.340 And break out of the mold

00:04:08.280 Yeah, we fight for what's right

00:04:10.340 We're wild and we're free from the mountains above us

00:04:14.600 And all you can see is more than just a place

00:04:18.460 Where freedom rolls

00:04:22.060 It's our home

00:04:25.200 It's our home

00:04:34.920 There's something nostalgic about

00:04:42.200 There's something brand new about

00:04:46.280 Yeah, you'll leave and you'll miss it

00:04:50.500 Then come back and kiss it

00:04:56.420 We fight for what's right

00:04:58.360 We're wild and we're free from the mountains above us

00:05:02.580 And all you can see is more than just a place with three of wrongs.

00:05:11.680 It's all wrongs.

00:05:18.580 It's all wrongs.

00:05:27.580 It's all wrongs.

00:05:29.580 Yeah, we fight for what's right. We're wild and we're free from the mountains above.

00:05:36.980 And all you can see is more than just a place. We're free.

00:05:44.620 Calgary, are you ready for change?

00:05:51.500 Are you ready for food and homes you can actually afford for a change?

00:05:56.700 are you ready to pay some lower taxes for a change

00:06:02.340 are you ready to lock up the criminals so that we can be safe on our streets for a change

00:06:10.380 are you ready to unleash our resources so we can take back control of our economy for a change

00:06:21.120 wow it is great to be back in my hometown of calgary here with thank you very much

00:06:33.660 calvary's ready for a change here with my family my mother marlene is here everybody

00:06:40.260 give marlene a round of applause my biological mother jackie is in town great to see you jackie

00:06:49.860 my brother Patrick countless other relatives yesterday in Saskatchewan I

00:06:56.220 was told there were 34 relatives that were at our rally and here we are in the

00:07:01.680 prairies again celebrating the great Canadian promise that I lived out here

00:07:07.660 growing up in this community memories of walking my dog and fish crew park

00:07:15.540 delivering the Calgary Sun and I was a paper boy working at the Calgary Stampede

00:07:21.780 picking up garbage cleaning up the canteen countless other amazing

00:07:27.920 memories that and lessons that I learned right here in Calgary but the most

00:07:32.560 important lesson of all was that this is a country where hard work gives you a

00:07:40.120 great life where anybody or it didn't matter if you started off at the top of

00:07:50.160 the hill or the adopted son of two school teachers if you worked hard you

00:07:55.060 could build an incredible future for yourself you could become anything you

00:07:58.740 wanted that this prairie sky was the limit and we all know that the prairie

00:08:03.820 sky is the biggest sky in the world isn't it that was the promise of canada but that promise

00:08:15.580 after the lost liberal decade is broken housing costs have literally doubled crime chaos drugs

00:08:26.940 and disorder are overtaking our once saved streets the government has attacked our biggest industries

00:08:34.780 and pushed a half a trillion dollars out of our economy and it's going to get a lot worse

00:08:41.100 if god forbid the liberals get a fourth term just today just today mark carney went to a steel mill

00:08:50.540 to announce that he wants to jack up the industrial carbon tax on steel that's his plan

00:09:00.620 yeah he he actually said the carbon tax on steel would be good for the steel industry

00:09:08.140 remember that sounds an awful lot like when justin trudeau told us that a carbon tax at

00:09:13.660 the pumps would be good for your pocketbook we all know that turned out to be a lie

00:09:18.620 Now, Mark Carney is repeating the same lies on this and other things in order to distract

00:09:24.700 Canadians from the lost liberal decade.

00:09:28.220 He not only wants to continue Trudeau's identical policies of overspending, overtaxing and blocking

00:09:35.240 our industries, his platform, which was originally written for Justin Trudeau, calls for $130

00:09:42.860 billion of additional, uncosted spending, bringing the total planned debt that Liberals

00:09:50.200 would add over the next four years to $250 billion, a quarter of a trillion dollars more

00:10:04.080 inflationary debt that would drive up the cost of living, of food, of accommodation,

00:10:10.380 of living in this country.

00:10:11.920 My friends, we cannot afford a fourth Liberal term.

00:10:16.220 Canada needs change, change, change, and it's not just about the past.

00:10:32.800 It's about the future.

00:10:34.760 We know the Liberals have published this document.

00:10:37.040 Has anybody had a chance to have a look at this?

00:10:39.040 It's called Policy Horizons.

00:10:41.380 This really is the Liberal platform right here.

00:10:44.760 This is what the Government of Canada predicts that life will look like in 15 years if things

00:10:51.940 continue on their current track.

00:10:54.500 They say social mobility will be almost unheard of in Canada.

00:10:58.060 People will no longer be able to get ahead through their hard work, and more likely,

00:11:02.380 they will be falling behind.

00:11:03.680 In 2040, owning a home is simply not realistic, they predict.

00:11:09.420 They further go on to say that the economy could shrink and become even less predictable.

00:11:16.040 Finally, they say that we'll be headed towards an aristocracy, that's their word, not mine,

00:11:22.840 as money and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a shrinking class of privileged insiders.

00:11:30.360 And it will get so bad, they say, that people will no longer be able to afford to go to

00:11:36.440 grocery store, they'll have to hunt, fish, and forage on public lands in violation of government

00:11:44.200 regulations just to stay alive. My friends, this is what the Liberals say they have in store for us.

00:11:53.240 I encourage every Canadian to go and read this report, Future Lives, Social Mobility in Question.

00:11:59.240 Look at the section called More Snakes Than Ladders. That is not the future we need. That is

00:12:05.560 not the future we will have.

00:12:07.520 What we need is to bring home

00:12:09.620 change and hope

00:12:11.360 for every single Canadian.

00:12:19.340 Bring it home.

00:12:35.560 And we have a plan, and we have a plan for change, a plan that is going to reverse the

00:12:43.400 lost Liberal decade, to do exactly the opposite of what we've seen over the last 10 years.

00:12:50.000 First of all, it proposes to cut the Liberal deficit by 70 percent by eliminating 50—that's

00:12:56.800 right, give that a round of applause. 0.94

00:13:01.100 We are going to cut $54 billion of bureaucracy, consultants, foreign aid and other wasteful

00:13:08.860 spending to bring down the inflationary deficits.

00:13:17.220 We'll put that money back in your pockets.

00:13:20.080 We believe that hard work should actually pay off.

00:13:22.200 You shouldn't be punished for the crime of working hard.

00:13:25.020 You should have reward for putting in those long hours, for helping your family.

00:13:30.700 now we have something. It's a fine. A fine for the crime of hard work. Who would like a copy of

00:13:35.980 the platform? I'm going to give a copy of this guy right here. There you go. The crime of hard work

00:13:41.180 is punished with high liberal taxes that increasingly eat away at your paycheck. In fact,

00:13:46.860 today, after a lost liberal decade, Canadians spend more money on taxes than on food, clothing,

00:13:55.100 and shelter combined your income tax is the crime you pay as the tax you pay the pine the fine you

00:14:02.460 pay for the crime of working hard we can no longer afford these taxes and that's why conservatives

00:14:08.860 will cut your income tax by 15 so hard work pays off for a change

00:14:14.780 but we won't stop there our plan will cut taxes on energy we know that energy powers our economy

00:14:27.980 the liberal carbon tax has crippled us over the last several years we know that mr cardi says

00:14:33.260 the tax should go up on industry and we know they'll put it back at the pumps the day after

00:14:38.340 the next election if, God forbid, they get a fourth term.

00:14:42.260 Not Conservatives.

00:14:43.600 We know that energy is necessary, energy abundance, energy wealth, and that is why Conservatives

00:14:50.220 will axe the entire carbon tax for everyone, for real, for a change.

00:15:04.580 And then we'll cut taxes on cars.

00:15:08.720 The Liberals don't believe you should be able to drive a gas- or diesel-powered automobile.

00:15:16.080 So they've come up with this plan.

00:15:19.620 I call it the Carney tax.

00:15:22.880 The first syllable says it all.

00:15:25.000 They want to tax any automobile powered by gas or diesel that goes above their preset

00:15:32.260 ever-declining quota so their goal is to beginning beginning next year to begin

00:15:37.500 banning the sale of gas and diesel tire powered vehicles anybody live out the

00:15:43.300 country yeah did you get can you survive out in Lloydminster or Fort Mac or car

00:15:52.780 stairs driving out to the farm in a electric car in minus 40 degree weather

00:15:58.420 in February? Well, Mr. Carney believes that you have to. His plan would put a $20,000 car tax

00:16:09.100 on any diesel and gas-powered vehicles that go above his preset quota, a quota that will decline

00:16:17.420 every year until 2035 when he says these cars will be banned altogether. Conservatives will

00:16:24.640 axe the carney tax we will put you back in the driver's seat and let you decide what car to drive

00:16:32.320 for a change

00:16:38.880 not only that but we want to bring home automobile construction here to canada

00:16:44.400 we will axe the federal sales tax on vehicles made in canada

00:16:54.640 But we're not done. We are going to bring it home. Who's this guy? He's very excited.

00:17:04.960 What are you so excited about? He's excited about an economy that works for people like

00:17:11.520 him. I agree with him on that. But we're not done there. We need housing that people can

00:17:22.000 afford for a change canada yes you you want a house don't you are you living with your mom

00:17:32.240 they want to have more space her and her partner want a little more space 1.00

00:17:36.160 there's a little there's a nice young lady there who you live with your mom 1.00

00:17:39.840 but you want to have your own house amazing well we've got a plan to make that happen

00:17:45.360 We're going to axe the federal sales tax on new homes.

00:17:50.880 We will incentivize municipalities to speed up permits, free up land, and cut their development charges.

00:17:58.220 The goal is to take $100,000 of taxes off a home to save you money on your purchase

00:18:04.820 and to speed up the permitting, sell off enough federal land,

00:18:09.560 and train up enough young apprentices

00:18:12.440 so that we can build 2.3 million more homes

00:18:18.180 that our people can afford for a change.

00:18:26.900 And we need the people who live in those homes

00:18:31.100 to have powerful paychecks again.

00:18:33.700 And that is why we are going to unleash a boom

00:18:37.440 in our resource sector like we've never seen before all in all we will reverse all of the

00:18:49.280 anti-liberal anti-energy liberal policies that have been brought in with the support and continued

00:18:55.840 backing of mark carney these laws need to go so that we can quickly get our resources out of the

00:19:02.580 ground and off to market. Mark Carney says he wants to keep 50% of Canada's oil in the ground.

00:19:10.780 He says he will keep Liberal Bill C-69 and the energy cap. Nothing will ever get built. Nothing

00:19:21.800 will change with a fourth Liberal term. Only Conservatives will bring real change. We will

00:19:26.980 repeal the no development law c69 the energy cap the industrial carbon tax we will approve pipelines

00:19:38.180 for a change

00:19:48.260 we will unleash we will build pipelines and lng export plants

00:19:53.700 we'll take the 1 300 trillion cubic feet of natural gas that we have right beneath our feet

00:20:00.580 we'll pump it to both coasts we'll send it to quebec and to the east coast we'll send it to

00:20:07.140 the west coast so our coastal first nations can develop those resources my friends we have

00:20:13.700 incredible advantages here do you know how long it takes to ship gas from the canadian pacific coast

00:20:19.460 to Asia 11 days smart guy smart guy how did you know that you ever done it he

00:20:25.880 watches my videos that's why he's so informed smart guy how long does it take

00:20:31.280 to ship from the US Gulf Coast 20 days almost twice as long so how is it they're

00:20:37.880 able to ship their gas to market and we're not furthermore you think it's

00:20:42.740 more expensive to liquefy gas here where it's nice and cold and the weather does

00:20:47.180 25% of the job for you, or in the States where it's burning hot, it's cheaper here in Canada.

00:20:53.700 We've got the clean hydroelectricity. We can liquefy that gas by turning it down to minus 161

00:21:01.380 degrees Celsius, putting it on a ship to Asia to break Asian dependence on dirty coal, send it off 0.98

00:21:08.780 to Europe to break European dependence on Putin, and turn dollars for dictators into paychecks

00:21:15.040 for our people for a change we will build the Canadian pipelines with

00:21:27.520 Canadian energy and Canadian steel benefiting Canadian workers this will

00:21:33.520 allow us to go around the Americans being less dependent on them and more 0.97

00:21:37.900 focused on taking care of our own people that's what it means to put Canada first

00:21:43.120 after all isn't it I think we've got a flyover I arranged a flyover here

00:21:54.120 everybody you can hear that in the background also powered with fossil fuels

00:21:58.840 right we're gonna give Carney any ideas he's gonna ban fossil fuels from

00:22:06.460 aircraft. I don't think that would fly, quite literally. You know, we're also going to

00:22:14.720 stand up for Western Canada. Albertans, people of the prairies, and all across the West deserve

00:22:20.600 to be a fair and full part of our country for a change. We want this to be a country

00:22:32.240 that is united we also want it to be a nation that is safe after the lost liberal decade

00:22:40.000 of catch and released criminal justice we see more and more criminals turned loose on our streets

00:22:47.040 able to re-offend tear apart our communities commit one offense after another being released

00:22:54.160 often within minutes of their latest arrest it starts with liberal law c75 catch and release

00:23:01.520 bail that allows it requires judges to release offenders at quote the earliest opportunity under

00:23:09.480 the least onerous conditions in vancouver they had to arrest the same 40 offenders 6 000 times

00:23:23.200 because they were released so that each one of them committed 150 crimes in a year

00:23:29.160 in a year you got to be working at it full time to get arrested 300 150 times in 365 days and yet

00:23:39.140 we keep turning them loose again and again and if it isn't catch and release bail it's house arrest

00:23:45.120 so the same repeat offenders who steal the cars and attack our people can do the sentences in

00:23:52.660 the company comfort of their living room watching netflix or playing grand theft auto only to walk

00:24:00.100 out on the streets to reoffend again and then there's the get out of jail free card for paul

00:24:04.980 bernardo c83 that allows this mass murderer and others like him to serve their sentences not in

00:24:12.100 a maximum security penitentiary but in a medium pen where they are a risk to prison guards and

00:24:17.940 support staff my friends the era of catch and release liberal chaos is coming to an end we we

00:24:27.380 need change our plan will repeal these catch and release laws catch and release bail c75 gone

00:24:42.580 house arrest c5 gone get it a jail free card for paul bernardo gone we will pass the three strikes

00:24:51.940 and you're outlaw three violent offenses and you never again have chance for bail parole

00:24:58.180 probation or house arrest it'll be 10 years minimum in a slammer as long as a life sentence

00:25:03.940 and you don't get out unless you have perfect behavior clean drug tests and you learn an

00:25:08.820 employable skill we will stop the crime for a change and that change will go

00:25:22.200 even further multiple murderers who now get bulk discounts today because of a

00:25:29.820 unfortunate Supreme Court ruling that the Liberals supported multiple

00:25:35.060 murderers are able to get a discount. They only serve one 25-year sentence

00:25:40.120 guaranteed, even if they killed seven or eight people. One guy killed six people

00:25:46.660 in Quebec, and he was the subject of this ruling. He only gets a guaranteed

00:25:51.740 sentence of 25 years. That means only four years of prison time for each person

00:25:58.740 he killed. How is it that a human life for an innocent person is only worth four

00:26:04.820 years for a guilty person. This does not make sense, my friends, and I will put an end to this

00:26:11.480 chaos. I will use the notwithstanding clause to lock up multiple murderers until they die. 0.93

00:26:26.920 After the lost liberal decade of skyrocketing crime and chaos, the choice is very simple.

00:26:33.480 Do you want to continue to turn criminals loose on our streets by giving the Liberals a fourth term, or do you want to lock up the criminals, secure the borders, and bring home safety for a change? That is the decision.

00:26:46.500 and then there's the drugs fentanyl meth and countless other drugs have increasingly victimized

00:27:00.140 decent honorable people who had fallen on hard times oriented with the wrong crowd maybe they

00:27:05.400 were just out for one night of drinking when they were tempted to take something they normally would

00:27:10.400 not take. And then their whole lives changed. We've lost 50,000 people to drug overdoses.

00:27:17.600 More people have died of drug overdoses in the last 10 years under the Liberals than died

00:27:24.400 fighting for Canada in the Second World War. And this tragedy is only getting worse as the

00:27:31.000 government liberalizes laws, reduces penalties for mass marketers of this poison, and gives out

00:27:37.200 tax-funded opioids under the false name of safe supply. There's nothing safe about it. Our borders

00:27:46.560 are open for drugs to come in through the 99% of shipping containers that don't get inspected

00:27:53.580 at all. My friends, we are going to stop the drugs. We will ban hard drugs, bring in

00:27:59.780 life sentences for mass marketers of fentanyl. We will secure the borders with high powers

00:28:07.020 scanners of shipping containers and a thousand more frontline 2,000 more

00:28:11.980 frontline CBSA officers and we will go further we will cut off the taxpayer

00:28:23.480 funded drugs and we will put the money into treatment and recovery so that we

00:28:29.200 can bring our loved ones home drug-free incredible programs incredible programs

00:28:36.960 will give counseling, group therapy, detox, physical exercise, yoga, and countless other

00:28:46.660 interventions that help people fix their bodies, cleanse their stoles, and start all over again.

00:28:52.700 When I was at Harvest House in Moncton the other day, I was meeting with a group of young people

00:28:59.060 who were getting off drugs in rehab, and they said, you know, thank you for all your help.

00:29:03.920 And I said, I'm not the one offering help. I didn't come here to offer help. I came here to ask you for help. I need you. I need you to get better because you're going to get out of this place. You're going to go onto the street and grab someone else off the street corner. You're going to drag them in here. They're going to get better. Then they're going to go back out on the street and they're going to pull another person in. And that cycle of hope is going to help us to defeat this terrible scourge.

00:29:30.000 So have hope. Hang on. Help is on the way. A better day is coming for our people. We're going to save 50,000 lives across this country through treatment and recovery services. Lives that will turn around and give people a chance at a better life. What do you think, Mr. Gill? What do you think? You think it's time that we stop the crime? Come on over here. Which riding are you running in again? It's Skyview.

00:29:59.780 Of course it is a time to stop the crime.

00:30:21.260 Are you hearing the same thing?

00:30:22.560 What are you hearing in your writing?

00:30:23.780 Are people tired of paying high taxes and facing more and more crime?

00:30:28.260 Come on up.

00:30:29.540 Yeah, I'm in the real estate for the last few years.

00:30:33.300 And, yeah, I have seen many problems for the people listening for the house affordability.

00:30:39.600 The homes are not affordable.

00:30:41.480 They're paying more for the groceries.

00:30:43.580 So it's very difficult to buy, like, groceries, homes, and living with lots of crime.

00:31:40.620 I've got bad news.

00:31:49.060 I've got some bad news and some good news.

00:31:53.140 It's just bad news for the politicians here.

00:31:56.020 It's good news for everybody else.

00:31:58.080 I made a little announcement today.

00:31:59.600 Did you catch it?

00:32:01.280 Did you make some adjustments to your plans?

00:32:04.160 So here's the plan, my friends.

00:32:06.620 We can't wait for change.

00:32:08.300 So I've announced that we're going to have 100 days of change.

00:32:12.680 We are going to pass three major bills in the first hundred days.

00:32:19.540 Here's what they are.

00:32:21.220 There's the Affordability for a Change Act, which will cut taxes, bureaucracy, and spending.

00:32:28.240 There is the Safety for a Change Act, which will crack down on crime and drugs.

00:32:35.340 And there's the Bring It Home Our Jobs for a Change Act, which will repeal the anti-energy laws and cut taxes on investment.

00:32:45.160 We want all of these things passed within 100 days, 100 days of change.

00:32:54.600 That's the good news.

00:32:55.920 The bad news for the politicians is I've said that I'm cancelling the summer vacation on Parliament Hill until all these bills are passed.

00:33:13.100 Canadians need change more than politicians need vacations.

00:33:18.400 You agree with that?

00:33:19.300 so all the politicians you can go sell your golf clubs on ebay

00:33:27.920 get rid of your your little cottage your cabin you're not going to be using it this summer you

00:33:35.120 can rent it out to a deserving family that needs a break what other plans are you canceling shuv

00:33:41.260 what were you going to do yeah he didn't have any other plans than to work that's the kind of guy

00:33:47.100 We are going to announce that we need 100 days of change for Canadians. 0.96

00:33:58.100 In the 100 days, we are going to adopt the law of accountability to change, to cut taxes,

00:34:06.100 deficits and bureaucracy to change. We are going to adopt the law of security to change,

00:34:15.100 who will put criminals in prison and protect our borders,

00:34:18.340 and we will adopt and bring our jobs to the law,

00:34:23.660 and we will do it in 100 days.

00:34:26.260 No adoption of these laws, no vacation for politicians,

00:34:30.300 we will work all summer to bring change to the law.

00:34:35.460 That's what we will do.

00:34:45.100 more than ever we need hope in this country we need hope after all these

00:34:49.600 desperate years people have been clinging and holding on by a thread

00:34:54.580 trying to feed their families hoping that better days are coming hoping that

00:34:59.440 they'll be able to afford their lives and build their dreams hoping that they

00:35:04.100 can grow their businesses and hire more people hoping that our country can once

00:35:08.140 again be united and safe we know that hope can only exist with change and hope and change

00:35:17.340 are the two ingredients that are propelling me forward through these next few days but

00:35:23.260 the only way we're going to get change is if you vote have you all voted yet

00:35:28.140 are you going to go out and drag your friends and family to vote for a change

00:35:43.980 are you going to reach out to all the people who may have given up on life

00:35:47.500 and tell them that there's hope if they vote for a change

00:35:50.460 we need the biggest voter turnout in canadian history to deliver the change that canadians need

00:35:59.420 politics is not a spectator sport the old saying is if you're not at the table you're on the menu

00:36:07.740 so you got to get out and vote you've got to spread the message now in these final critical

00:36:13.180 days that change is on the way and that hope only comes with a vote and so that is my message to

00:36:19.580 to those people who may be giving up out there,

00:37:09.420 to the young man i met working in the warehouse in toronto not so long ago who said he feels ashamed

00:37:47.600 who feel left behind by a government

00:37:49.720 that has underfunded and mismanaged our military,

00:37:53.320 I want you to know that Canadians back you

00:37:55.760 and hope and change are on the way to rebuild our forces.
