Carney’s Support Just Took a Major Hit — Now the Media is Coming for Poilievre

Well, he sounds like a technical sourpuss because he appears as though he's cheering negative data.

will earn $166 ,790 in income and pay $72 ,539 in taxes.In a percentage that is 43 .5%.On top of that, you throw in property taxes, GST, PST, HST, you name it, and you're well up to 50 % in taxes.Canadians are taxed so heavily, no wonder people are leaving the country.They're our best and brightest.The brain drain is happening.

This is why.abacus data posting this direction.America 80 % the wrong direction.We got this one here asking Canadians what they think the top three priorities should be.Look at this.Cost of living 66%.

This is double almost the next closest bunch here.39 % for the economy.Healthcare 34.Housing 33.Donald Trump the administration 32%.It's dropped to number five and then immigration 25 and it goes down from there.

Now let's contrast this data here to how Mark Carney is rolling out well his plan for Canada.What does he mention in all these press conferences?Indigenous equity or owning ownership as well.his plan for Canada.do we have?Government approval.

Mark Carney's at 52%, but the more important number is beside it, the minus 7.We see disapproval here, 31 % up plus 4.And then comparing Carney to Polyev, we've got Carney here at net 21.So people still think he can get the job done, but people are starting to realize, oh, maybe this guy's full of crap.And Polyev sitting minus 8, Abby Lewis at minus 9.Here we see a recent poll here, 44 % for the Liberals, 36 % for the Conservatives, and 11 % for the NDP.

And notice the NDP went up three the Liberals went down three.They're just switching supporters from the Liberals exactly as I said a few days ago to the NDP.Carney is losing support and is directly going to the NDP with a slight bump to the Conservatives.Now looking at the regionals here, Carney's strongest support is still Atlantic Canada as well as Quebec.But I mean, that's falling.He's only 50 % Atlantic Canada and everything else is below that.

In comparison, Alberta, 57 % for the Conservatives.So still stronger support for the Conservatives in Alberta versus Atlantic Canada for the Liberals.The only age group over 50 % is the 16 overcrowd that's supporting the Liberals.So this is very interesting going forward, seeing such a big drop here, minus 7 to Carney's support while he's still over 50%.People are starting to realize, hmm, this guy's not getting the job done.We can see the trend here, the big drop.

This is just in comparison.It shows, you know, this is the disapprove line is going up as well.And while we're talking about polling data, I thought I'd throw this in here.So the AFD, this is the right wing party in Germany, has just taken the lead here at 28%.So there's a lot of countries here that have had enough of this nonsense.Now with Carney's support.

down, what is inevitably going to be happening?They attack Pierre Poliev.That's what they do.They get scared and they start getting everyone out to attack Poliev.Look at this.tech.

I'm sorry, what the conservatives have an ad out that use generative AI for the crowds of people that are homeless or at food banks.That's a pretty wild statement.I have not seen such a thing.I don't know what he's talking about.Gene Kearney on the whole thing.

I mean, what do you make of how this will get traction or won't get traction with voters out there?

Well, I don't think it's going to give traction to Pierre Paulieff.So Fred said, you know, going around acting like the sky is falling, falling.That's one thing.But being gleeful and happy that the sky is falling, which is kind of the vibe that he gave, especially in question period.Not a great thing.

OK, so I just want to play this clip first.I'll show you Fred's comment afterwards.

But he says being gleeful, being gleeful and happy that the sky is falling, which is kind of the vibe that he gave, especially in question period.

That's kind of the vibe he gave in question period.Fred McEachran here, the former Liberal ministerial adviser, says Poliev was gleeful in the House of Commons regarding the recession.

Zara from Toronto lost her administrative job at a real estate business.She can't find a new job and now has to sleep on a friend's couch.

So Polly, I've said this on Wednesday.This is what Fred McEachern is talking about this whole exchange.As far as I see, I don't see a gleeful guy here.I see a guy who is angry about the situation.And he brought up numerous examples.There was no laughing or joking about this.

But what was Mark Carney's response?You've all seen it.

Mr. Speaker, I'd like to wish the chief of the opposition, leader of the opposition, a happy birthday.I hope his day improves.

This guy laughs at Zara sleeping on someone's couch because she can't afford to live anymore.He's the one who laughed.It's such a funny joke that Canadians are suffering to Mark Carney.Gleeful and happy.No, it was Mark Carney.These guys are liars.

They're chronic liars.Now, something else is happening here.I'm going to play Fred.This is a little bit in reverse, but there is numerous of these guys attacking Paulieb.They're trying to get rid of him.And it's not just the liberals.

It's these so -called conservative pundits that are trying to run Paulieb through the mud as well.

That, you know, there's transition change and there's challenges.How do you think this is resonating with voters, this argument over trying to say that Mark Carney caused all of this?

I think I said it last week, how it's dangerous politics to be going out here claiming the sky is falling.

The sky is falling, though.Look what's happening in our country.Are you kidding me?It would be disingenuous to say that we're not in serious trouble right now.

Months time or two months time when the next numbers come out, it shows that it isn't.It was a week later.We're here a week.Job numbers are better than they were last quarter.

Those job numbers didn't make up for the losses though, since the beginning of the year.I mean, they don't bring up these facts.There's 88 ,000 new jobs created.There's something like 100 and what was 110, 120 ,000 jobs that were lost since the beginning of the year.This guy's not a tribal conservative and Polyev's not rooting for it.Carney was the one who was laughing.

This guy trying to wipe away the whole recession thing, just like all the rest.Oh, C .D.Howe.Don't worry, people.C .

D.Howe said it's not a recession.Tell that to the business owners in my comments section, Fred.I dare you.When we're seeing $118 for states,yeah, we're in trouble.

This isn't a laughing matter, and the only one who's laughing is Mark Carney.It's not Polyev.I mean, jumping over to this panel, listen to this.It's almost the exact same rhetoric like they had a Zoom meeting to talk about how to attack Polyev at the beginning of the week.

Pierre Polyev is taking the harder argument.He's trying to persuade people that it's all the fault of Mark Carney, and that's It doesn't scan with a lot of people.He sounds like a technical sourpuss because he appears as though he's cheering negative data.for the benefit of his political position.And that's not where you want to be.So there's risks all around here.

There's risks for the government in terms of trying to be back on this and they show like they don't get it.But there's also risks for Polyev where he looks like he's cheering bad news because that's what he needs to get one political leg up.

I'll jump off that, Corey, and ask you the same question about risk, like risk as you see it for the government in this scenario and risk as you see it for the conservatives.

Yeah, I have trouble disagreeing with much of what Scott said.I'd maybe add a third point.It's, you know, whose fault and, you know, and is there a recession?Yes, yes.I agree with both those things.But who do you think is best to manage the economy?

And I think that's the real challenge right now for the Conservatives.It's more than just the framing of who's to blame.It's who do you want to have in charge?And only about a third of Canadians want to see Paulie, I'm in charge of the government over Carney, and that's a number that has to change if the conservatives want to see their polling numbers improve.

Carrying water for the Liberal party because while his horse in the race here for the BC Conservative leadership race didn't win.You might say losing an 18 point lead is what, campaign malpractice?Is that what you would say Corey?Not to mention his team have been so butthurt on Twitter.They spent so much money and they got outdone by the grassroots.It absolutely frustrates them.

Here he is immediately after losing in BC, comes back to Toronto or Ottawa.wherever he's located, and attacks Pauliev.

I would suggest that continuing to try to convince people of things that they don't fundamentally believe as being true is probably not the right path.I agree with Scott on that as well.

Is there a world?Well, then maybe Mark Carney should stop lying to Canadians saying that we've had it the best we've had in the past 10 years.They don't want to bring that up.They're not going to call out that blatant lie, not to mention all the other ones.Carney just said that all the new jobs created were in the private sector.He just said that a couple of days ago.

That is not true.Only two thirds of them are.The other 20 ,000 jobs are government jobs.We don't need more government jobs.

In which the argument does not land.You know, the placing blame, for example, Tom, does not land in the short term.but potentially undermines things in the medium to long term?

I agree exactly with that point.I also, I would add to what Corey just said, that there's a problem of tone.And it almost betrays what Corey's saying, that Polyev seems to be gleeful about some of this bad news, but his tone goes off the track, and that's the reason why only about a third of Canadians want to see him in charge.But...

Once again, Tom, let's check the record.Carney's tone.

I'd like to wish... the chief of the opposition chief of the opposition isn't a position it's the leader of the opposition this guy doesn't even know the positions and he's laughing at canadians who are in poverty what a joke this is a woman's life This prime minister gave us the only recession in the G20, and he stands up and starts joking about her state of affairs.She's sleeping on someone's couch, Mr. Speaker.Will the prime minister stop being so flippant about the suffering that he's caused in the lives of Canadians, and tell Zara, is her homelessness and joblessness just a technicality?

Now sometimes you guys ask me to talk about Polyev's body language.Here's a perfect example.So typically Pierre speaks to the speaker because this is the camera angle we get and he knows this is better for clips and media if he's speaking to the speaker because he'll be looking more towards the direction of the camera.And sometimes he looks right at the camera.But in this case, he is so pissed off that he's looking directly at Mark Carney.There's another camera here, they don't use this one very often.

He's not thinking about getting a clip, he's directly calling out Carney with this.

And what does Carney have to say?

Yeah, this guy's a clown.He's morally bankrupt.And then we've got these clowns all here, all carrying water for Mark Carney and all lying on national television.Polyev's not the one that's laughing and joking.It was Carney.

Yes, he is laying down tracks now and it's a bit of a stretch and he exaggerates and he puts words in Carney's mouth and does all those things that Pierre Polyev likes to do.But in the medium term, if things don't firm up, if the numbers don't bear out, and that's why I talk about the parliamentary budget officer, she's saying that there's a very slim chance that the economic projections of Francois -Philippe Champagne, our finance minister, are going to bear through.And if Carney's been basing himself on that, and in the medium term, the economy remains very soft, and longer term, could even get worse, then there's going to be real problems for the Liberals.This is an all in bet by the Liberals that they're making on resource development, on shrinking the size of government.We're waiting to see that.

Shrinking the size of government?They just hired 20 ,000 new people.That's not shrinking the government.Resource development for what?Net zero?

We're going to get spending under control.We're waiting to see that.But if it doesn't pan out, then yes, it will be on the Liberals.But it's too early for Poydiev to be trying to do that for the very reason that Corey because it looks like they're trying to take advantage of the fact that people are indeed having a hard time.

Scott, what do you think?These guys are insane.if they think Polyev shouldn't be attacking Carney on the recession and how horrible things are in Canada right now.Oh, well, it's just a technical recession.You're just trying to take advantage, laughing in the House of Commons.It's like that's not what's happening.

Carney laughed about Zara sleeping on someone's couch.

don't believe it in this first pass but eventually they will come to see it and he will be responsible for having moved public opinion in that direction.I don't think that's how it works.I think the reality is that truth outs on this stuff and so if the economy is in bad shape two three years from now and Mark Carney's efforts have not actually shown progress.He'll have a problem.But in the same, by the same token, if in the near term, Pierre Paulieb looks like his only interest is partisan politics and he just is the bear thing, bearer of bad news, he's going to find himself in a real ugly spot where he may be enthusiastically echoing what his base voters want to hear, but he's not going to be attracting new votes.

And he lost the fact he said bear fanged bat.I mean, come on, Scott.Scott.Paulieff has a perfect square set of teeth, meanwhile Carney, I mean who looks more like a... bare -fanged bat.

Are they just supposed to say, well, you know, so be it?

I do think you have to lay, you know, plant some seeds.But I also largely agree with Scott that the seeds they're planting are the wrong ones in terms of tone.I think you want to be pointing this stuff out, but with like sadness and regret, with, you know, a solemn tone.Once again, what tone did we see in the House of Commons there?These guys are all liars.And put the focus on delivering results where I think that's where the current government is going to be, to Tom's point, more vulnerable over time if they don't actually get the resource projects done, those sorts of things.

I think that's a better vector of attack, because I think the one that they're on right now is, looks like Polyev is, you know, applying to be a -hole in chief.And I just don't think that's the way to get more popular with the public.It doesn't...

Look at Vassie's face when he said that....to get more popular with...Look at her, she's like, wow, did he really just say that?

...the public.It doesn't improve your favorabilities to look like a jerk all the time.And I think he's at risk of doing that.

I don't think the Conservatives need to take advice from a guy who just committed campaign malpractice.This guy is on here to try to attack polyethylene, get rid of them.They're all working together now.

Let me switch gears for a moment, then kind of in the same vein, though, Tom, and ask about some preliminary numbers we're seeing when it comes to the New Democrats, because there are a couple of polls, including Nanos, who is CTV's pollster of record, showing that there's some growth under Avi Lewis, that in particular over the last number of weeks on the issue of resource development, like there's been some positive signs for the NDP.What does that say to you?

But they're starting to see in their numbers that they could lose a part of the group of people who voted for them last time.They brought together a large coalition.to block Poitiers and his Conservatives.They're looking at losing part of that because the environment remains an important issue for a certain number of Canadians.And they're looking for a place to go.

As we saw earlier, it's 13 percent.

Oh, Elizabeth May, unfortunately, is leaving and hasn't really performed very well with the Green Party.So Abby Lewis becomes the only person talking about sustainable development issues in a way that could attract voters.So, yeah, I think that Carney's starting to realize that they might have gone too fast, too far.especially by excluding First Nations as a real concern.And I think that a lot of Canadians are sensitive to that.

For a long time, though, everyone kept talking about the possibility, Scott, of an opening on the left, and it didn't materialize.It now is for the first time, even at the margins.What does it say to you?

I keep one eye on it, not two, just one.And I say that because you don't want to take anything for granted.But You know, the big things remain the big things, and the big things are Donald Trump and his attacks upon Canada.That's what drove a complete realignment of our political system in the last election.

It's interesting he brings this up.What do Canadians care about?Donald Trump is the fifth one on here now.Cost of living, economy, health care, housing, then Trump.Got to keep that fear mongering going.on

he would approve a pipeline immediately, get rid of the tanker ban.He doesn't care about actually diversifying Canada away from America and all that stuff.He doesn't believe in what he states.

One eye on the stuff.Don't take anything for granted.And if, for goodness sake, you appear to be, or even at the risk of appearing to be, dismissive of the concerns of Indigenous communities, well, you're going to have to change course a little bit.You're going to have to tack into that wind, which I think he's probably trying to do right now.

This is quite something you see with all these pundits dogpiling on Pierre and I showed you a couple different networks here.They're all in it together.They want him gone because they don't want him to come and clean up the mess.That's what he will do.They're scared of it.All these guys are making tons of money off the liberals being in power, or in this case, Corey Taneki, Doug Ford in power.

He was hoping Caroline Elliott would be able to do this in B .C., fire off a big hundred million dollar contract to Rubicon Strategies, his firm, and everyone gets rich at the firm.Doug Ford's failing.He knows that he tried to jump ship now.What's his next course of action?

He's going to try to help what Doug Ford or Jason Kenney become the next leader of the federal conservatives.It's not going to happen.happen.All the creators here, we're not going to support that.Good luck.Go find something else.

Go somewhere else.These guys are all a bunch of phonies.Now to end this episode off on, well, not really a lighter note, but a Canadian fighting for Canada.We've got a guy here dumping his trash in the forest and a lady calling him out for it.

Pick all, I saw everything that flew out.Pick it all up.No, I saw all the, came out.I saw it all.Collect all the small things.I have your license plate.

So this guy's going to drive off and what does she say?She says, I'm going to call the cops.This feels really good to me to see Canadians doing this.

We have to all do this.License plate.No, you did not.OK, so when the cops come to check, I'll be gone.

See that the second she mentions cops coming, the guy gives up.out.

No, everything that flew out, all the small items.I saw it all.

These guys are going to turn our country into what India looks like, which is garbage everywhere.So he picks up the garbage here.He's out there for a little while, and then he comes back with a bag full of all his crap that he should have put in a garbage bin where it belongs.
