In this episode of Our Daily, co-host Tamere Ugolini and co-anchor Lexi Lavie Lavoe talk about the government's response to the covid ban and how it affected their family and friends.
00:30:49.440I'm sorry, I have no words. I can't even believe that this is happening at the Vatican. This is such a mockery of the church. I'm shocked this is allowed.
00:31:41.320This is supposed to be literally the Holy Grail of God and Jesus Christ. And you're making a complete mockery of it.
00:31:50.580I mean, it's unsurprising. We have also this CTV news article on the Pope, where he calls it a point of no return. He challenges leaders at UN talks to slow global warming before it's too late, as though governments can control the rate of warming of the climate.
00:32:12.020Pope Francis shamed and challenged world leaders on Wednesday to commit to binding targets to slow climate change before it's too late, warning that God's increasingly warming creation is fast reaching a point of no return.
00:32:29.840This is just appropriating religion for a really bizarre climate alarmism agenda. And I don't know, I don't. Pope Francis, for many years has been, you know, engaged in really weird conduct, and said some bizarre things.
00:32:47.840I don't know, I just don't think this is an appropriate stance for the Pope to be taking. It's not an appropriate topic for him to engage in and to use the reference to God's creation.
00:33:00.620This is, I don't, I'm lost for words after seeing that video coupled with his comments on this. It's very disturbing. And I think it's really turning a lot of people away from Catholicism and religion as a result,
00:33:16.200which is obviously counterintuitive to what someone like the Pope should be doing.
00:33:22.660And what is this qualification for claiming like those claims, like saying that almost like there is a point of no return.
00:33:30.820It's what I really find shaming from media or other like, it's like gathering the voice of so many people who are not qualified to claim those things.
00:33:45.840And afterwards, that goes straight to the mind of the people, as much as if it is a fact, when it's not a fact, those people doesn't know anything.
00:33:57.480Can we actually speak with scientists? I don't want to see the political report. I want to see the scientific report.
00:34:04.540I want to read it. I want to see what it say on it.
00:34:07.680And I heard them talking about the real result and not like in an alarmist way.
00:34:16.580Yeah, well, and it's all based on this faulty modeling and that really came to fruition and was highlighted and heightened by the COVID pandemic.
00:34:23.320Because likewise, the pandemic predictions were based on faulty modeling that never came true or had really weird parameters and inputs.
00:34:31.800And so the same thing can be said for the climate alarmism as well.
00:34:36.160It's all based on these faulty models and predictions.
00:34:39.640And as we see repeatedly, like peak oil, these predictions never come true.
00:34:46.960We have another super chat here that I'll just read quickly from Fraser McBurney.
00:35:15.100Yeah, there's some real progress for you.
00:35:17.660And now it seems like we're just curbing travel altogether because of this idea that greenhouse gas emissions and this minuscule amount that humans contribute needs to be immediately halted so that the globalists can continue their travel plans, but all of us have to stay home confined to our container car apartments in 15-minute cities.
00:35:43.740Wonder Woman Wells also gives $5. Thank you very much.
00:35:48.500Many employees' religious exemptions in my organization were refused on the basis that the Pope supported vaccines.
00:35:56.060The Pope does not speak above the word of Jesus Christ or God.
00:36:00.980Yeah, they're supposed to speak through him.
00:36:02.500And he's obviously proving himself to be a very poor ambassador for Christianity, for religion, and or Jesus Christ and or God.
00:36:14.080But when he supported vaccination, that was another point that I'm saying there's been a history here with Pope Francis, where he endorses and gets behind things that really should he should, in my view, be taking the opposite stance, but also maybe just not take a stance at all on.
00:36:32.020And, yeah, when he came out and said that about the COVID vaccines, that was a real kick for a lot of Christians, Catholics alike.
00:36:43.120Really, really unfortunate, but we're about halfway or we're over halfway through the show now.
00:36:47.360So we'll go to a quick ad break and then we will come back with some more news pieces to chat about.
00:37:45.900This November, the Wilberforce Project is bringing me to Canada.
00:37:49.140If you want to fight the woke machine, destroying families, join me in Calgary for my talk, hosted by the Wilberforce Project.
00:37:54.620Go to benshapirolive.ca for info and tickets.
00:37:57.760All right, next on the list, we have more unelected fiscal irresponsibility, or sorry, I shouldn't say unelected, but more fiscal irresponsibility by our elected officials.
00:38:18.040So this post is from Franco Terrizano.
00:38:21.280Now he is the head of, or the federal director of the Taxpayers Federation here in Canada.
00:38:28.680And the article that he is tweeting about here comes from the CBC, where Justin Trudeau's Montana holiday vacation cost taxpayers much more than he originally reported or disclosed to in Parliament.
00:38:42.080So the price tag for the trip came to a whopping, and this was just a weekend, this was an Easter weekend trip in Montana, came to $228,839, far higher than the sum disclosed to Parliament.
00:38:57.060And so the costs incurred included the Canadian, the costs carried by the Canadian Armed Forces, the Privy Council Office, and the RCMP.
00:39:09.640And so it did not include the regular salaries of the RCMP officers, or the Royal Canadian Air Force aircrew, or the Privy Council official who would normally accompany the Prime Minister.
00:39:23.960So originally, Justin Trudeau disclosed that this trip cost $23,846, which in and of itself is a, like, that is a lot of money for a weekend getaway, a weekend vacation in Montana during Easter, so in April, earlier this year.
00:39:47.400So originally, he disclosed almost $24,000, his weekend trip.
00:39:51.880Meanwhile, it actually cost almost $229,000.
00:39:58.180This is exponentially more than what he tried to disclose to Parliament.
00:40:02.740And I think we discussed this the other day, Alexa, where the, I can't ever remember their name, minister was, had resigned or fired over a glass of orange juice.
00:40:13.320I mean, and Justin Trudeau knows, he has to know at this point, how much Canadians are struggling to feed their families, heat their homes, afford their houses, their cars, the cost of living is insane.
00:40:28.000And meanwhile, he can go ahead and even if he spent $24,000 on a weekend away, that's egregious enough.
00:40:34.620But meanwhile, it's actually almost close to $230, this is just absurd and there's just no accountability.
00:41:07.180Canadian need help to pass through the inflation because a lot of people will probably finish, like, without the place to stay.
00:41:15.080Since a lot of people need to have, to sell their house because the mortgage, I have, like, just, like, skyrocketed.
00:41:23.240And, and him, it's like, it just go on vacation, spending all the money of, like, hardworking Canadian.
00:41:31.860Like, it's so, so outrageous because we know how it's hard to work every day, sometime over time.
00:41:40.820And, and we work hard to be able to raise that money, to make sure that our infrastructure is going okay, that everything is going okay in Canada.
00:41:52.980But no, that our money is not going there.
00:41:55.640It's going to a leader that doesn't know what to do with our money.
00:41:59.920And it doesn't even matter if you work hard.
00:42:01.840It doesn't even matter if you work overtime because the amount you'll pay in taxes, it doesn't even make sense.
00:42:07.580It almost doesn't make sense to work anymore because you are taxed nearly, nearly 50.
00:42:13.340The average Canadian household is taxed nearly half of its income to the government between the municipal, the municipal level, your property taxes.
00:42:21.480If you want a home to your provincial taxes here in Ontario is 13% sales tax or GST.
00:42:28.560And then, of course, you have the federal, federal government's taxes on top of it.
00:42:32.460And now we get our Canada Day inflationary increase to our, the carbon tax, which the, the last increase of the installment went up on Canada Day.
00:42:45.960Now we have this that has not only affected directly Canadians, but also ricocheted and rippled out and affected every piece of product that Canadians can buy in the store.
00:42:56.760So it almost doesn't make sense, even if you're a hardworking, overtime-driven person, employee, it doesn't make sense because you end up just being taxed out of the Yahoo for your hard work.
00:43:12.020And that's where a lot of Canadians are getting frustrated.
00:43:16.260As these people get to jet set on our dime, well, we're struggling to quite literally just have the bare necessities of life, feeding your children.
00:43:26.320This isn't a $25,000 or $225,000 weekend getaway jet setting in Montana.
00:43:34.440This is just the ability to feed your children three square meals a day and maybe give them some snacks and whole foods while you're at it.
00:43:42.380But that, it's just absolutely absurd.
00:43:47.220This is a government that said that budgets would balance themselves.
00:43:53.900And I think that that being the cornerstone of a conservative platform is having that fiscal responsibility is really why you see the polls so heavily in favor of leader of the opposition, Pierre Polyev.
00:44:07.500But unfortunately, because of the Liberal NDP coalition, they don't stand a chance and we have to wait out another two years until or a year and a half until the next election.
00:44:17.220I don't even know what's going to be left of Canada by that point because so many people are looking for a way out.
00:44:23.500If they haven't already left, which I have tons of friends and even some direct family members who have left the country, and I don't think they're coming back anytime soon, more and more Canadians are starting to say, hey, wait a minute, things aren't getting any better here.
00:44:40.440And maybe we should think about an exit strategy as well.
00:44:42.520So soon, like, we will have a Canada without Canadians because all the Canadians will be, like, done with, like, what is going on and they will be, like, fleeing all around and not here.
00:44:55.380Yeah, it's already on their path to that.
00:45:22.100And diversity was at one point supposed to be our strength.
00:45:26.000But it's turning out that there's actually not a lot of diversity.
00:45:28.820And that's in terms of diversity of thought.
00:45:30.520And when we bring in more diversity, there is a clear lack of wanting to embrace the Canadian values and traditions.
00:45:43.460And a lot of the new Canadians that are coming into the country are finding that they were sold on a false premise that Canada had wealth and it had opportunity.
00:45:53.280And they're finding that they just can't make their way in Canada, like many Canadians, Canadian-born individuals.
00:46:01.520And so that's just a recipe for disaster, in my opinion.
00:46:06.980We have another unethical ruler here, former mayor of Toronto, John Tory.
00:46:13.840This report comes from the Toronto Star, where he broke the ethics rules over his relationship with a staffer.
00:46:23.500I didn't need a report to tell me that he broke ethical, he broke ethics rules over a relationship with a staffer.
00:46:31.400So this happened in, I get my years mixed up, post-COVID.
00:46:35.260But he essentially, so he cheated on his wife with one of his staffers who was, I think, approximately 30 years younger than he was, if I remember correctly.
00:46:45.160Yeah, and it was a big deal because John Tory was really set and proud to have some of the harshest COVID-19-related restrictions in Canada.
00:47:05.280They, you know, they had aggressive gathering restrictions from the Ontario government that were really reinforced by the mayor of Toronto, John Tory, at the time.
00:47:17.580And, you know, there was indoor gathering restrictions.
00:47:21.440You were supposed to have your bubble.
00:47:22.960There was that time when we had, you had to restrict, you gathered with to a bubble, and then you weren't allowed to leave your house.
00:47:30.540And there was all these different rules and regulations around the COVID pandemic handling and who you could and couldn't interact with.
00:47:36.460And literally during that time, when John Tory was supposed to be, you know, hiding out in his house with his wife of, gosh, I can't remember, maybe they say in the article, but like 40 decades, decades of marriage with his wife.
00:47:50.300And meanwhile, he was moseying on out with his staffer in direct, obviously, ethics violations happened here, but also in the face of gathering restrictions.
00:48:05.100And I think that was also at the time when, was it BC's Medical Officer of Health, Bonnie Henry, she proposed that people use glory holes if they wanted to go out and engage in sexual acts.
00:48:19.800They promoted the use of glory holes and wearing masks during intercourse.
00:48:25.380And I don't, I think even changing up your position so you weren't face to face.
00:48:31.220And so meanwhile, when all, well, all of this is happening, and I'm not saying that it's, that it's right.
00:48:35.360And I am, I think this is completely laughable and nonsensical and absolutely ridiculous and absurd that we have nanny state telling people how they should and should not engage in sexual interactions.
00:48:46.800But at that same time, you have a supposedly happily married mayor of Toronto, who's backing these kinds of restrictions and measures, going out and cheating on his wife with one of his staffers.
00:49:02.020Obviously, this is an ethics violation.
00:49:03.860I'm shocked that we even need a report to tell us that.
00:49:06.060And it seems like now, same if you do like a ethics violation example, like I know that one of our like politicians in Quebec, it's at his six or seven investigations for ethics violation.
00:49:37.100But, but yeah, so there's a new report here.
00:49:40.640Tory resigned in February after the star revealed his relationship with the woman, breached two articles of the code of conduct.
00:49:48.020And so anyway, they're, they get into what exactly he breached and how, but, you know, I think that the proof was pretty clearly in the pudding that Tory breached ethics when he cheated on his wife with a staffer during peak COVID hysteria when you weren't supposed to be breathing.
00:50:27.820Yeah, she was pretty excited about the Blue Jays yesterday.
00:50:31.500I don't even know if they ended up winning there.
00:50:33.740I think it was the first playoff game in the series, but she was pretty excited about that.
00:50:37.980I don't hear anything of substance about Olivia Chow.
00:50:40.500Maybe it's too early to tell, but, you know, she, she wants more money from the feds for things like housing and transportation.
00:50:48.500And I think she's set to increase, I don't even know what percentage, but she's set to increase taxes in Toronto by, I don't, I, again, I'm not sure the percentage, but that's, that was one of her, her key platform policies is that, you know, taxes and more money, more money, more money from the feds.
00:51:07.500We have another piece to share with you on conservative leader, Pierre Polyev, this comes from the CBC.
00:51:14.640His inner circle is apparently divided over how to tackle gender issues, sources say.
00:51:21.880The party's position on gender identity is being vigorously debated in the conservative leader's office.
00:51:28.360Alexa, you were there at the conservative convention.
00:51:30.360What was the, what was the landscape around gender identity like when you were there?
00:51:34.440That was, uh, obviously like a hot topic.
00:51:38.720Uh, I know that some people didn't want it at the party to really take a stance or a position because they say that the party would be, uh, paint with, uh, you know, uh, transphobic or homophobic like, uh, point of view.
00:51:56.160And they say that mainstream media want them actually to talk about it, to use that maybe against them.
00:52:02.960So a lot of people were for speaking about it because they say that it's important.
00:52:08.740We need to talk about the future of our children and what is going on.
00:52:12.920And other people, you were able to see that they were mostly ready to censor themselves or censor the party to maybe win the next election and just like go under the radar.
00:52:25.500So, uh, yes, uh, that was the biggest hot topic of, uh, the convention.
00:52:30.960Yeah, well, as soon as you start even saying anything, um, that doesn't immediately affirm the idea of gender identity, you're called a transphobic bigot.
00:52:42.120Um, so I think the conservatives are still really just scared of the media party and the way that they'll be spun by the government, you know, the liberal government lapdogs, how they'll be perceived in the mainstream media.
00:52:58.520And I think conservatives just need to get over them, get over it, get over themselves, have a spine, get a moral compass, listen to the valid concerns of parents who are, whose children are really at the forefront of this.
00:53:14.940I hate to, I hate to call it a battle, but, um, at the forefront of this, this indoctrination scheme that is unprecedented, that isn't based on any.
00:53:39.840If you want to leave this, you know, the idea of gender identity and sexual orientation and what have you to, um, academics, to people in universities or scholars to put out papers or debate it or have these discussions.
00:53:54.080Fine, go ahead, have at it, but leave these impressionable kids in a publicly funded school system alone, protect their innocence first and foremost, and then leave these, um, weighted, heavily weighted conversations.
00:54:07.800Leave it to adults, let the adults handle it, leave the kids alone.
00:54:11.100And, you know, we have, um, Justin Trudeau on the other side.
00:54:14.840We have a breaking clip here in a press conference where he's asked if he'll apologize or, or condemn the characterization of Muslim parents as hateful, transphobic bigot for simply bringing up the fact that they don't want their kids exposed to this SOGI 123 curriculum.
00:54:35.360The Muslim Association of Canada and other groups have, uh, recently condemned your characterization of people, including Muslim families, who recently protested for what they call parental rights.
00:54:44.460You used the word hate to describe their concerns, and you've been asked to retract that comment and apologize.
00:54:49.640Will you do that, and should you have been more careful in the way you discuss this issue?
00:54:52.620I will always stand up for everyone's rights in this country, stand up for, uh, Muslim communities, stand up for 2SLGBTQI plus communities, stand up for marginalized people across this country, and protect them from intolerance, and yes, from hatred when it is there.
00:55:13.040I am going to continue, uh, to work to bring people together and to make sure our kids are protected while standing up for everyone's rights.
00:55:22.380This is something that is core to Canada, that we defend each other's rights, that we support each other.
00:55:28.800And I've never suggested that someone who's concerned about parental rights is somehow filled with hate or intolerance.
00:55:37.860But what we need to make sure is that when we do see expressions of hatred or intolerance against Muslims, against the 2SLGBTQI plus community, against any Canadians, that we are firm in standing against intolerance, that we reach out to bring people together.
00:55:59.500That's what I will always do. That's what I will always do. That's what I will always do. That's what this government has always done with Muslim Canadians and with all, uh, members of diverse communities.
00:56:09.840Quick follow-up. So you're not retracting the comment in question.
00:56:13.200It was a tweet, uh, talking about how we stand with the 2SLGBTQI plus community, and we always will. We will always stand against hatred and intolerance wherever and from whoever it comes.
00:56:24.560But anyone who's trying to politicize or spin this as an attack on one particular group, um, is trying to divide communities against each other.
00:56:35.760We are a government and a party that will always stand against intolerance wherever it is.
00:56:44.200Unless you're a Canadian trucker who was opposed to the government's COVID response and federally mandated injection.
00:56:54.560Then we can't tolerate those people, remember? Like that, he, he quite literally said, this is a small fringe minority with unacceptable views.
00:57:07.480And then he went on the French broadcaster, um, and he called them, you know, often racists, um,
00:57:17.300Misogynists. And, and point blank said, do we tolerate these people?
00:57:23.100And now he's all about like tolerance and bringing people together. Uh, meanwhile, he campaigned in 2021 on the wedge issue of your COVID-19 vaccine status, creating that medical apartheid divide between Canadians and families, right?
00:57:39.300Like my, as I mentioned at the beginning of the show, my family has still not recovered from the divide that has been propagated onto Canadians by this very same government and his mainstream media lapdogs.
00:57:53.240And the rhetoric that he espouses constantly about this, you know, now that he's actually getting a little bit of pushback on it and arguably it was weak at best, but, um, he, he walks it back.
00:58:07.460He can't attest to those strong, firm stances. He tweets about, I don't know if we can pull up the tweet.
00:58:13.080I think it was the one, um, yesterday or the day before where he said, you know, we'll always stand by and he forgot one of the cues.
00:58:19.760Now, now there's two cues. So it's 2SLGBTQQIA+, I think. And it's sad that I even know that, but it's, as part of my job, you know, I have to know what is going on with, in the socio-political landscape of our country.
00:58:39.300Yeah, this is just yesterday. So this is what he's being questioned about here. And he, oh, he got the acronym right there, the alphabet soup, um, correct there.
00:58:47.000See the 2Qs. So it's queer. Sheila told me, I think it was on Monday when we co-hosted together. Um, it's queer and questioning, um, is the reason for the 2Qs.
00:58:56.200He says, indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA plus people are, my screen's cut off a little bit there, but, um, are valued and deserve better as we mark sisters in spirit day.
00:59:10.400Didn't even know that was a thing. We remember those who have been murdered or are missing, and we stand with their families and their communities.
00:59:19.660Because he's been, like, asking about the tweet, and it's probably not him that wrote the tweet, so probably he arrived and it's just, I have, like, an interrogation point in this way. It's just, like, what are they all talking about?
00:59:31.180These all talk, no action. I think there's still a whole bunch of indigenous communities that don't even have basic access to clean running water. I mean, really, and you're going to talk about, um, the indigenous sisters.
00:59:42.300And, and, and, and by the way, he claimed that he will stand against hatred message or hatred, um, action and violence, wherever it is. And so when all those churches were, were burning in Canada, he never claimed that as a hate crime. So I'm sorry, you don't stand for everybody. You stand for what you want to stand for.
01:00:10.520mm-hmm yeah whatever the polls are showing we have a another rumble rant from snowy roof gives
01:00:17.840five dollars thank you more and more taxes until you will own nothing and be happy yep that's right
01:00:22.440we've already we referenced that klaus schwab um incentive previously owning nothing and be happy
01:00:30.540happy in your container apartment in a 15-minute city while they jet set and gather in davos and
01:00:36.740eat filet mignon no worries there um we have another clip here also that trudeau just breaking news here
01:00:43.900um where he is asked about record high immigration and immigrants sleeping on the streets of toronto
01:00:49.860of course he deflects to premier of ontario doug ford let's have a look um first of all it's
01:00:57.360unacceptable that uh the most vulnerable people people who are uh asylum seekers refugee claimants
01:01:05.660uh be stuck sleeping in the streets be stuck uh in um horrific circumstances this is something
01:01:13.980uh that we've taken very seriously for many years now and have transferred hundreds of millions of
01:01:19.160dollars uh to provinces and municipalities over the past years to support uh the infrastructure
01:01:24.440for asylum seekers but we know there's more to do so we're going to continue to be there
01:01:28.540to work with the city of toronto and we're also uh continuing to call on the provincial government
01:01:34.960to step up uh around its responsibilities as well to make sure uh that uh the most vulnerable are
01:01:41.620supported and housed i thought it would have a mistake like we give a hundred of a million of
01:01:50.240dollars to ukraine oh right yeah we're quite literally funding more in the ukraine than we are
01:01:59.620building the infrastructure in canada to meet his extremely progressive and liberal um far left uh
01:02:07.880goals immigration goals and um doug ford did try to do something to quell that issue and that was
01:02:17.420develop parts of the green belt so he was switching out some areas for others and he's been under fire
01:02:23.000about you know prioritizing his developer buddies and they're set to make billions off of it
01:02:27.720and so on and so forth but the unfortunate you know i can see both sides of the coin because on one hand
01:02:34.520i really value having lush green farmlands i think that's obviously very important to have robust
01:02:40.440agriculture and access to uh food and and healthy soil and so on and so forth um and that lends to
01:02:48.340the clip we showed earlier of the climate alarmist being like well we're all what's going to take till
01:02:53.500your kids are starving well we need that green land and that lush farmland to make sure that our kids
01:02:58.480aren't starving because we want to be able to grow healthy and adequate food um but unfortunately where
01:03:06.360the green belt lies which is i think it's about 240 hectares spanning from the niagara
01:03:11.860escarpment all the way to uh where i am in northumberland county and it spans right where the gta and key
01:03:21.740lines of transportation development exists uh already um so there's the subway system there's metro links
01:03:29.800there the go train and transit and these hubs of development are already in place along that
01:03:35.960it's called the 401 corridor in ontario and so ford was going to develop or he was proposing to develop
01:03:43.520uh key points of that corridor where the infrastructure already exists to take on and be able to adequately
01:03:51.280house uh immigrants and newcomers and canadians alike i mean in ontario even born ontarians or born
01:03:57.820canadians are struggling with the housing crisis and um it was you know it's been a controversy and a
01:04:04.200scandal and this and that and the climate alarmists are all like how dare you um develop or propose
01:04:11.160developing this area of the green belt so he's walked back on that proposition but the same people
01:04:18.680and that's why i say and i had a report on it a couple weeks maybe it's been about a month now
01:04:22.640um i said you can't have your cake and eat it too because those are the same people who say
01:04:26.880open the floodgates open the doors if they need to come to canada we're with open arms we're welcoming
01:04:32.960everybody come on in come on in but we don't have the infrastructure or the um the policy that we don't
01:04:41.460have the in general it's just infrastructure and it's an infrastructure issue we don't have it mapped
01:04:46.440out and clearly laid out so that people can adequately assimilate but also be successful
01:04:51.320and wealthy and generate income and have a place to live and have all the same opportunities that
01:04:58.220they're sold on coming to canada for when we can't even get them housed um so the whole thing is just
01:05:06.040completely upside down trudeau obviously is not slowing down the rate of immigration i had a clip from
01:05:13.200his housing minister uh last weekend i believe it was and he said that they that that that the
01:05:20.440ministry of housing the federal ministry of housing or sorry of immigration was processing five million
01:05:27.120he called them data points but that's five million applications that's five million people coming into
01:05:33.280canada just last year alone that's well above what the targets are supposed to be and the targets
01:05:39.960themselves are extremely inflated and this is what's actually happening is even more inflated
01:05:47.340on top of that and doug ford's mentioned that in press releases before as well so this is a mess
01:05:51.580obviously and and over half yeah here we could just play this quickly mark miller
01:05:55.620i've seen in the past few years is backlog some resulting from covid and some resulting from
01:06:01.900the ramp up um coming out of covid uh clearly the backlog that we see today is is much different than
01:06:07.600what we've seen uh even a year ago uh we are coming largely back in to within service standards and
01:06:13.900again uh why i commented on the generality of the question is because in some envelopes we are
01:06:19.500actually back to standard in some we are we are close but we're continuing to work on it i think as
01:06:23.440a country what you're seeing and i think you refer to it implicitly is we have historic numbers of
01:06:27.540people wanting to come to canada i'm never going to fault someone for wanting to be canadian or wanting
01:06:31.460to come here as a country but the reality is that we do as pure data points i'd say five million
01:06:36.980processing um points that we've had over the last year is much higher than it is year over year
01:06:43.020even compared to pre-covid so uh it's something that we have to deal with as a department you have to
01:06:48.800really read between the lines there five million data points five million people that they've had
01:06:52.860to process and then you know they're already in canada and a lot of them don't have paperwork they
01:06:57.000don't have their adequate documentation and a lot of them wouldn't actually be approved to stay in
01:07:02.060canada but because they're so backlogged they don't even know where these people end up
01:07:06.100in many instances and he he alludes to that later in the clip um so that's to give you the state of
01:07:11.360affairs in canada with immigration and the progressively liberal targets where ontario will
01:07:18.260house um over half of them and of that almost 75 percent of them will end up in the gta the greater
01:07:25.460toronto area so that is an influx like we've never seen before and all those people are applying
01:07:33.120for help for financial help from the government some of them leave the country but they still
01:07:40.040claim that money so we are still like us canadian paying for like all the people who are in canada
01:07:47.500and outside of canada who are just like claiming our money yeah it's um i guess we're seeing it play out
01:07:56.660in real time and um we we can't even expect a change in government because of the two fringe
01:08:03.380minority parties and their unofficial coalition in the house of commons but with that we are about
01:08:08.680eight minutes past the hour so we'll wrap this up i don't think there was any other super chats to get
01:08:13.560through uh nope and so we'll we'll leave you with an ad but just thanks to everybody who joined us who
