The content argues that Canadian Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is adopting policies and rhetoric closely mirroring those of the US President, particularly Donald Trump, suggesting a potential shift towards a "Republican Party of Canada" and questioning the implications for Canadian governance and institutions.

Hello, welcome back everyone.
Unsurprisingly, the results of the
leadership review for the Conservative
Party held in Calgary yesterday had
delegates unanimously vote Pierre Palv
to continue as their leader. Now, one
thing they didn't vote on was to change
their party's name because obviously
they are no longer the Conservative
Party of Canada. They should rename
themselves the Republican Party of
Canada because Republican MAGA policies
and rhetoric are the policies and
rhetoric that their leader chooses to
parrot all the time. Now the US
president has been very vocal about some
of his positions. For example, he
despised the US justice department and
was very critical of them for not going
after the previous president and uh
locking him up. If that corrupt
injustice department, as he calls it,
did its job, Joe Biden would be in jail
right now. So he's reworked the Justice
Department in the United States. What's
Pierre Pio's opinion of the equivalent
agency in Canada, the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police? Many of the scandals of
the Trudeau era should have been
involved jail time. I mean, Trudeau
broke the criminal code when he took a
free vacation from someone with whom he
had government business. It's just like
it's right there in the criminal code.
If the RCMP had been doing its job and
not covering up for him, then he would
have been criminally charged. Um, and
again, he vi probably violated the
criminal code and the SNC Lavalin
scandal. Uh these would normally have
led to criminal charges, but of course
the the RCMP covered it all up and uh
the leadership of the RCMP is just
frankly just despicable when it comes to
enforcing laws against uh the Liberal government.
government.
>> Ah the leadership of the RCMP is corrupt
and if they had done their jobs, Justin
Trudeau should be in jail. I wonder
where we got that idea. Now the US
president has been critical of another
leader of another independent
institution in the United States, the
chairman of the Federal Reserve. He's
called him all sorts of names and says
he doesn't know how to do his job and
he's threatened to fire him. I wonder
what Pierre Pio's position is on the
equivalent person in Canada, the
governor of the Bank of Canada.
>> I've already announced that I will fire
the governor of the central bank to get
inflation under control.
>> So, do Canadians have a right to sue back?
back?
>> They don't, but they should. That's a
good point. You should be allowed to sue
the Bank of Canada for the fact that it
has destroyed so many people's
livelihoods and house households. Hm. I
wonder where he got that idea. Another
policy that the US president is pursuing
right now, a very unpopular policy, is
deploying US troops in US cities to keep
US citizens safe. That's something we
could never expect from Pierre Poly, right?
right?
>> Affordable home, living on a safe street
protected by [music] police and soldiers.
soldiers.
>> I don't know if that's going to fly with
Canadians. Living in neighborhoods
protected by soldiers. You'd have to be
pretty scared for anyone to accept that.
And of course, in the United States,
that's only possible because of the
rhetoric of the US president that under
Joe Biden, immigration was out of
control and criminals were allowed to
flood into the country, undermining the
security of Americans. That's certainly
not a conservative talking point, is it?
>> I mean, 10 years of catch and release
has left Canadians endangered. Uh, we're
going to repeal catch and release, lock
up the criminals, and make it so people
feel safe again in their communities.
Uh, there's immigration. We'll be
talking about the fact that immigration
is still out of control and the the
government is allowing criminals and
false refugee claimments to come in and
undermine our security.
>> Oh well, I guess it is then. But let's
turn to economic policy because
obviously we're not going to follow in
the steps of the United States the
disastrous policies that they're
implementing there. The main policy or
the only policy the US president has
implemented was the big beautiful bill,
a massive tax cut. And everyone knows
that when you cut taxes a lot,
government revenue decreases and the
deficit skyrockets.
Everyone knows that. So I mean the US
has decreased taxes for the rich and now
their deficit is spiraling out of
control. That obviously won't be the
policy of the Conservatives in Canada.
>> Affordability. That is the single
biggest issue facing Canadians after 10
years of Liberal inflation. So how do we
take it to the next level? We go to more
people and tell them that we're going to
cut back on the inflationary deficit so
that dollars go further. We uh make
clear that we're going to cut taxes on
work, investment, energy, and home
building so that people have bring home
more and they pay less.
>> Oh, well, I guess that's exactly Pier
Polio's policy. Cut taxes on everything,
decrease government revenue, uh and cut
the deficit. Everyone knows that those
two things are mutually incompatible.
Uh, if you cut taxes, you decrease
government revenue. And if you do that,
the deficit goes up. So, there must be
some secret cuts planned. Well, the
United States did have some secret cuts
planned. They didn't tell anyone, but
now they're cutting healthcare. Oh,
well, I guess Pierre Polyv hasn't told
us about his secret cuts yet. I wonder
where he'll get the ideas of what to
cut. H, okay. Okay. But wait a minute.
There's some schemes and ideas that the
president is involved in that are way
out there like promoting
cryptocurrencies and selling his own
coin for himself and his wife. I don't
think the president really understands
cryptocurrencies, but he's making a lot
of money off them. Pierre Py obviously
understands cryptocurrency much better
than the president of the United States.
>> Okay, so April 2020.
So since around that time, house prices
in Canada have gone up by about 50% in dollars,
dollars,
>> right? Okay. So 50% in dollars, right?
>> But in bit, if you had been if your
source of money was actually Bitcoin,
>> you've said you you've increased the
purchasing power of Bitcoin relative to
the dollar by six times over, right? It
went from 10 grand to 60 grand, right? >> Bingo.
>> Bingo.
>> Right. So basically if if you had you
had at the time purchased at that price
your Bitcoin the cost of housing in
Bitcoin has actually gone down because
Bitcoin has in has gone up in value
faster than housing. So it's actually
interesting. It's not so much that
housing is becoming more expensive as
that our dollar is becoming less and
less valuable. Yeah. So, you know,
because we measure our house prices in
Canadian dollars and the government has
been destroying the value of the
purchasing power of that dollar. It's
actually the dollar dollar strength that
has been reduced relative to houses
rather than just houses increasing
relative to dollars. Whereas, you
protected yourself from that phenomenon,
didn't you?
>> Uh, just a second. I take that back. I
think the president of the United States
understands cryptocurrencies more than
pure poly. What was he saying? That uh
the price of Canadian houses has
actually gone down if you owned a cryptocurrency
cryptocurrency
because the in real dollars
the the dollar went down in the cryp I
didn't really understand what he was
saying. But hold on a second. Hold on a
second. You can't judge a person just
from some comments he's made on
cryptocurrency. A lot of people don't
understand cryptocurrency. This is a
conservative leader. Conservative voters
are fiscally responsible and they're
interested in good solid economic
policy. And Mark Carney, that guy, he's
worked in finance his whole life. He's
been the governor of the Bank of
England. He's been the governor of the
Bank of Canada. He What does he know
about economics and the economy? Now,
Pierre Polyv, this guy's a sharp cookie.
He can explain exactly how the economy works.
works.
>> Listen, money is like it's the price
signal. It's like a laser beam, right?
It's like u Milton Friedman, the great
economist, talked about how um no one
can make a pencil. Yeah. Pencils are
made by thousands of people who don't
even know they're making a pencil,
right? Like they could be in a mine
producing the minerals to make the
yellow paint. Uh someone else is cutting
down the lumber to make the wood.
Another person is in another part of the
world mining the lead. Um the the the
rubber for the eraser comes off a rubber
tree in Asia. And all of these different
components are being made by workers who
have no idea that they're making a
pencil. So why are they making it? Well,
because they're being zapped a price
signal. Their company is being told,
"This is what lead goes for. This is
what lumber goes for. This is what
rubber goes for." And that price signal
incentivizes the production. And so they
all conspire to create this pencil. And
then they zap one single number to your
local store which says this pencil costs
you, you know, 25 cents. And that is a
price signal, a piece of information
that is zapped to the right to the uh
person's purchasing. They say that
pencil's worth more than the cost. I'm
going to buy it. Right? But when you
screw up that price signal, you mess up
the entire system. Right? It's like when
remember when we had those maybe you're
too young those old televisions with the
antennas and you you move the antennas
out of the way and the whole screen goes
uh staticky. Yes.
>> Well, that's effectively what happens
when you screw up the price signal with
inflation. The relationships between
buyer and seller, between uh lender and
borrower, between saver and spender,
they get all screwed up and the the
system the information signals get
messed up and the economy starts to
break down. And but if you have sound
money, then that you have clear simple
communication of price information and
value between human beings and allows us
to collaborate spontaneously to create
the most magical goods that save lives,
that improve our health, that bring
families together, and make for a better
>> I guess that's the definition of
fiscally responsible. Zap. Well, at
least in Canada, we're dedicated to
maintaining the integrity of our news
agencies. We're not going to go down the
path, you know, the president labeling
any news organization that asks tough
questions or reports on things that he
doesn't like the way they're doing it.
Just labeling them fake news. You're
fake news. And threatening to revoke the
licenses of some of the news
organizations down there. At least
that's not a possibility in Canada. No
one's talking about going after any news
organizations in Canada.
>> I'm going to defund CBC. That's my commitment.
commitment.
>> Well, at least Pierre Piv doesn't look
ridiculous like the president of the
United States. At least he doesn't smear
his face with orange paint. I mean, look
at him. His hands and his face are the
same color. Oh, well, I I guess he did
Your face and your hands are a different
color now. So, congratulations to the
Conservative Party of Canada. You've
selected the United States President,
the bombastic buffoons mini me. You
should change your party's name to the
Canadian Republican Party of Canada. You
allowed the grassroots of your party,
those who live in Alberta, the extreme
right-wing of your party, people who
used to vote for Preston Manning's
Reform Party, people who until recently
voted for the People's Party of Canada,
the most extreme right-wing, separatists
in Alberta. You allowed that small group
of people to select your leader and you
forgot to change your name to the
Republican Party of Canada. You chose
him, you're stuck with him. But
Canadians who are capable of rational
thinking, who actually listen to what he
says, understand who he is. Leave some
