00:00:00.000
tonight after being reduced to an international laughingstock is the fergus highlanders women's
00:00:22.260
rugby club going to do the right thing and cut biological male ash davis oh no in fact they're
00:00:30.660
about to double down on stupid it's wednesday august 23rd 2023 i'm david menzies and this
00:00:52.260
after two months of covering the end result of what transpires when one blends the great sport
00:01:03.160
of rugby with the insanity of radical transgenderism i have come to the conclusion that sometimes there
00:01:11.440
really is just no fixing stupid and often it is simply impossible to course correct the minds
00:01:19.840
of young useful idiots who are seemingly proud of being brainwashed by a woke agenda yes i'm speaking
00:01:28.620
of the rank and file members of the fergus highlanders women's rugby club well it's kinda
00:01:34.360
a woman's team because on the roster lurks a bioweapon in the form of a male player ash davis
00:01:41.480
he seems to take joy in injuring biological aka real female opposition players and yet his female
00:01:51.160
teammates are perfectly fine with that it's all about human rights or trans rights or the rights
00:01:57.520
of misogynists to run roughshod over real women or maybe it's about gaming the system in order to win
00:02:06.080
at any cost for what the fergus highlanders are doing is garden variety cheating in any event check
00:02:13.020
out this video excerpt that was shot on july 22nd ash why are you doing this i'm david menzies rebel news
00:02:20.300
hi no you're not really a part of this we're having a team chat now okay i'm just trying to ask some
00:02:25.600
questions ma'am but that's not the appropriate time why are you allowing a biological male to compete
00:02:30.140
against female players i'm not going to have a conversation with you well i'll talk to ash then
00:02:34.240
ash do you take joy in injuring female rugby players
00:02:38.200
are you lacking the skills to play with male players where you should be
00:02:44.460
you're a biological male aren't you i got you i got you
00:02:47.880
thank you sir mr ash are you are you a misogynist
00:03:01.540
mr ash the governing the governing uh body for rugby world rugby says men should not compete
00:03:12.220
all lives matter all lives matter all lives matter human rights matter
00:03:20.300
you don't have a problem you can leave now thank you sir thank you this is a human rights issue
00:03:26.620
oh okay then we live in canada all rights human rights for everybody
00:03:33.860
that you are traumatizing my family i'm traumatizing them what what happened
00:03:41.020
my kids get to see people like you crying because of things i'm surprised as a mother why would you
00:03:49.500
expose your uh kids to a misogynist that is my partner that is my wife that you are being
00:03:55.820
sorry he's a lesbian so i'm gonna just ask you guys
00:03:59.820
do you think it's okay for him to injure biological woman so i'm not gonna answer any of your questions
00:04:07.820
of your questions and have a nice day human rights human rights what about the human rights of biological
00:04:14.140
women being injured by this man human rights what about the biological rights of the charter of rights
00:04:20.620
and humans matter well that footage is never going to get old but i must tell you
00:04:27.180
folks that assignment really rattled me oh it wasn't the swearing or the middle fingers or even the
00:04:32.620
physical assaults rather it was the degree of indoctrination display displayed by ash's
00:04:39.980
hysterical teammates they actually seem to believe that a dude sporting testicles and adam's apple
00:04:46.460
rippling muscles and the onset of male pattern baldness can say that he's really a chick and well
00:04:53.820
so be it yet more diversity equity and inclusion that is continuing to define prime minister blackface's
00:05:01.980
new and not so improved canada indeed whether it's the education system or pop culture or cbc propaganda
00:05:11.580
these young women have been brainwashed to the extent that they actually believe that radical
00:05:18.060
transgenderism is a good thing even if accommodating this lunatic fringe is ultimately going to be
00:05:26.060
towards their detriment astonishing here's another clip of a player who a says one
00:05:31.820
must have certain credentials in order to find the word woman and b seems to actually take pride in
00:05:40.540
her ignorance check it out world rugby the governing body says this is against the rules you can't have
00:05:47.020
biological males playing against biological females i don't know i guess they just
00:05:52.940
what's a biological female yeah what's a biological female well i would imagine if you're born with
00:05:59.820
female genitalia versus male genitalia where did you get your phd pardon me you're you're defining a
00:06:05.420
biological female where did you get your phd so i'm defining him but ma'am in the history of sports
00:06:10.940
all sports with the exception of equestrian or auto there for history i'm only 19 years old i cannot say
00:06:17.740
what happened 20 years ago because i wasn't i wasn't but in here now you see male tennis female
00:06:22.220
tennis right any tennis i don't watch tennis oh okay then so it doesn't exist then to me you can't
00:06:27.260
ask me a question about it because i have no idea just the same as you can't talk about what a female
00:06:31.020
is if you're not a doctor i can't what is a female then do you have a definition no i'm not a doctor
00:06:37.180
again astonishing but if you think the opposing players are upset with the presence of this brute
00:06:43.580
you'd be wrong at the july 29th game fergus went up against waterloo and most of the waterloo woman
00:06:51.580
aka the potential victim pool for ash oh they were perfectly okay with him playing rugby in fact some
00:06:59.340
were even wearing trans colored wristbands to demonstrate their solidarity for ash davis that's
00:07:07.020
right they were visibly demonstrating that they support a cheater who might just be mentally ill
00:07:13.340
and might just send them to the hospital check it out
00:07:22.620
oh you don't really is that right are you a lawyer where are your men
00:07:34.940
what's the issue you're unable to get women um no actually it's the other way around that woman's
00:07:45.260
team has a man on it he's being injuring biological woman and you as the opposition you have no problem
00:07:51.260
with a cheater no we just like playing rugby i i love the sport have you played not for a long time
00:07:59.900
ma'am okay but you know what back then uh and even today the world rugby uh governing body says males are
00:08:07.580
not allowed to play with females so why is this being tolerated ma'am because um they're not a male
00:08:12.220
yeah wow then again in fairness we later found out that those waterloo women who were not gung-ho for
00:08:21.260
team trans were actually coerced into showing their support for ash nevertheless no i kid you not prior to
00:08:29.420
the game josh windsor president of the waterloo county rugby club sent out a communique to all the
00:08:35.500
k to all the players incredibly windsor threatened to have female players terminated from the club
00:08:43.500
if they didn't support davis what's more windsor also threatened the players that they would actually
00:08:50.940
be criminally charged by police if windsor deemed any comments regarding davis to be hateful wow
00:09:00.540
mr windsor um can i call you mister you are a woke woos you are a demented disgrace when it comes
00:09:09.020
to the concept of chivalry now as previously mentioned our video regarding ash davis has gone
00:09:15.180
viral it has more than 1.1 million views on youtube alone the youtube video also generated some 20 000
00:09:23.260
comments i didn't read all the comments but i have read hundreds and every single comment is
00:09:29.980
anti-ash oh by the way please don't tell josh windsor about this feedback folks i don't want
00:09:36.860
this woke bully making 20 000 calls to the waterloo regional police now typical of the feedback was this
00:09:43.740
comment from randy virich 1314 quote we as canadians are a joke to the world as a woman myself i find this
00:09:53.660
disturbing and the woman defending the biological man disgusting as a former rugby
00:09:59.740
player it's obvious how dangerous dangerous it is to have biological men playing with women
00:10:06.780
end quote nicely said now at the end of the day you might assume that because the fergus highlanders
00:10:14.700
female rugby team is now a much derided international laughing stock that this band of cheaters would change its
00:10:23.340
ways well folks you would assume wrongly the other day i was forwarded an email from jane
00:10:30.540
adeo who is the president of the fergus highlanders rugby club adeo's email is addressed to the fergus
00:10:38.300
rugby players amazingly there are no apologies pertaining to the disturbing presence of ash davis on the team
00:10:46.300
and there are no commitments in terms of telling ash to play rugby with the men's team where he belongs
00:10:53.100
and where he was given the award of hardest hitter just last year incidentally telling mr davis to beat
00:11:00.700
it would be in accordance with the rules of world rugby the international governing body for the sport
00:11:07.260
since 2020 world rugby has forbidden biological men from playing with bio biological women so
00:11:13.900
what gives but no adeo makes it clear in her statement that moving forward fergus will be
00:11:22.140
doubling down on trans sanity here's what she states quote as we approach the conclusion of the 2023 summer
00:11:30.060
season we the highland executive committee feel compelled to reach out to each and every one of you
00:11:36.620
regarding recent events that have taken place both at our club and within the wider rugby community
00:11:44.860
first and foremost we want to express our deep concern and empathy for those of you who may have
00:11:51.020
experienced incidents of abuse the well-being and safety of our members are of utmost importance to us
00:12:00.220
and we are committed to fostering an environment where every member feels represented
00:12:06.460
respected and protected we understand the gravity of these issues and we want to assure you that we are
00:12:14.300
taking steps to address them in a compassionate and proactive manner end quote whoa whoa whoa stop the clock here
00:12:24.380
when adeo speaks of instances of abuse what in blue hell is she talking about is she referencing the
00:12:32.700
multiple woman who had to be carried off the field thanks to ash davis's brutal tackling or more likely is she
00:12:41.580
speaking about some insensitive questions asked by yours truly i think it is indeed the latter i want to throw to a short
00:12:50.620
clip of me being physically assaulted but here's what you need to know folks the man getting handsy with me is
00:12:59.820
a drum roll please none other than jane adeo's husband josh adeo check it out
00:13:07.820
over here thank you sir mr rash are you are you a misogynist
00:13:15.980
hey watch it you'll be charged with assault that folks is physical assault and this backstabbing soy
00:13:22.380
boy is lucky we're not pressing ahead with criminal charges well at least not now
00:13:27.020
but i think this is a bona fide example of a so-called instance of abuse wouldn't you say
00:13:34.460
but no wrong thought is far more odious in the work mind of jane adeo but wait lady jane has
00:13:43.660
more nonsense to pass along to our fellow highlanders quote highland rugby is more than just a club it is a
00:13:51.420
family that stands together in our shared values of inclusivity respect and kindness
00:13:57.580
when you joined our community you signed the code of conduct which serves as a foundation for
00:14:03.100
maintaining a space that is free from heat speech transphobia racism referee abuse and bullying
00:14:11.260
we believe in upholding these principles with integrity and we appreciate the overwhelming
00:14:18.620
majority of you who have shown exemplary behavior both on and off the field end quote
00:14:27.340
code of conduct surely adeo is being facetious here as previously noted world rugby has banned
00:14:35.900
biological males playing with biological females that's code of conduct right from the top so really
00:14:43.820
it is the fergus highlanders that are in breach of the code of conduct by allowing this male grifter to
00:14:52.140
play rugby still adeo drones on quote we want to acknowledge that certain incidents have been beyond
00:15:00.780
under control but we are fully committed to taking action to prevent such occurrences in the future
00:15:08.460
as your representatives we are diligently working to ensure that the provincial code of conduct is
00:15:15.820
strictly followed and enforced throughout the club your well-being is our priority and we encourage you to
00:15:23.980
reach out to us to reach out to us if you have any concerns or suggestions to further improve our community
00:15:30.940
end quote um certain incidents i think she is talking about our reporting of the ongoing fergus fiasco
00:15:40.780
something that has been ignored by the lamestream media by the way still i would dearly love to know
00:15:46.940
what adeo means by quote taking action to prevent such occurrences in the future end quote these games
00:15:55.980
take place on public fields does adeo plan to ban the independent media from attending these games
00:16:02.860
in order to prevent ash davis from having his precious feelings hurt oh good luck with that strategy mrs
00:16:10.300
adeo because if this dude is on the roster next season rest assured we'll be covering this ongoing
00:16:18.460
outrage starting with the home opener we are not going away adeo concludes her rant with the following
00:16:26.860
quote highland rugby is defined by its unique and incredible community quote highland rugby is defined by
00:16:34.780
its unique and incredible community we are immensely proud of the success of the 2023 season with over
00:16:43.260
390 members proudly wearing our jersey across ontario your passion and dedication have been the driving
00:16:51.900
force behind this achievement and we are grateful for your unwavering commitment to the club's values
00:16:59.660
end quote you know at this point folks you have to wonder if jane adeo is even more delusional than ash
00:17:07.260
davis for example what are her benchmarks for success and achievement is it an achievement to put a male on the
00:17:17.420
team as a competitive advantage that's actually cheating as for success even with this cheater on the
00:17:25.660
roster fergus still managed to lose in the playoffs against waterloo as for the consolation final against
00:17:33.740
the niagara wasps which was scheduled for august 12th well that game was cancelled with the niagara wasps
00:17:41.740
citing safety and sportsmanship reasons thank god there's at least one organization in ontario rugby
00:17:50.060
taking a proper stance against transanity another thing that is stunning about jane adeo's missive
00:17:57.100
is that if you didn't know what the issue was i.e a male illicitly playing rugby with females
00:18:05.100
you'd have no idea what the hell she was ranting about it's like a statement from a blackface liberal you
00:18:11.020
know i bet jane adeo is a card-carrying liberal given her smugness wokeness and preposterous
00:18:20.060
lack of transparency by the way several days ago i did reach out to jane adeo i had 16 questions for
00:18:28.460
her regarding her preposterous end of summer statement and i welcomed her onto this platform
00:18:35.020
to state her case in an interview alas it has been radio silence what a coward just like her husband but
00:18:42.940
what is really astonishing about jane adeo is her stupidity she's an accomplished rugby player to be
00:18:50.540
sure she was on the national team at one point but if we allow gender bending grifters like ash davis
00:18:58.460
to cancel female players what is the future of women's rugby in canada by accommodating ash davis on the
00:19:06.540
highlanders after all one real female player is not on the team and what if this catches on what if
00:19:14.780
those male players who can't make the male team decide to reinvent themselves as female players and
00:19:23.340
join the women's team conceivably if we don't nip this gross trend in the bud the sport of rugby will
00:19:32.780
have a male team comprised of males and then a female team comprised of males in other words we'll
00:19:39.980
have two male teams team number one and team one a uh don't worry ladies maybe you can try out for
00:19:46.620
cheerleaders if you want to take part in the sport somehow unless that also gets outsourced to the
00:19:53.420
frankenfems but jane adeo is oblivious to this clear and present danger good thing she was born at the
00:20:02.220
right time so that she could participate in elite female rugby and become president of the fergus
00:20:10.060
highlanders rugby club because those opportunities might not be available for real women like her in
00:20:17.900
the near future now there is a solution to this fiasco and it is simply this we must create an open or
00:20:25.500
other division where goodness knows anything goes thus if you are herman munster in a mini skirt or a
00:20:32.460
chick that wants to be equipped with a dick or you're an anabolic steroid user hey the more the
00:20:38.220
merrier let's bring back the freak show with a sporting theme to it shall we
00:20:44.700
i'd buy that for a dollar by the way don't look for the authorities in canadian rugby to lay down the
00:20:51.020
law of the international governing body rugby ontario is hell-bent on sweeping this scandal
00:20:57.980
under the rug as opposed to growing a set and telling ash davis to know his role as for rugby canada
00:21:07.340
all you need to know about this woke organization is that its spokes thingy tanya richards goes by three
00:21:14.620
yes count them three gender pronouns namely she her and l oh by the way here's a photo of tanya
00:21:22.860
is anyone on the planet confused she might be a he then again if the movie ace ventura pet detective
00:21:32.140
taught us anything it would be that you just can't assume anything at face value these days when it comes
00:21:38.540
to gender hey if the lieutenant is indeed a woman as she claims to be then my friend she is suffering
00:21:48.300
from the worst case of hemorrhoids i have ever seen that's why roger podactor is dead he found captain
00:22:05.660
now as for the cherry on this sorted sunday get this we have been informed there's a game in fergus
00:22:13.260
this coming saturday afternoon involving the fergus highlanders men's old-timers team versus a old-timer
00:22:21.020
squad from toronto called the gets and we've been told ash davis is likely to be playing for the fergus
00:22:29.100
squad what oh yeah the male lesbian who plays with a young woman is now going to yet again reimagine
00:22:37.740
himself so that he can play with old dudes this is getting really confusing isn't it folks but talk
00:22:45.500
about having your cake and eating it too maybe we'll drop by fergus this saturday to see if the rumors are
00:22:52.380
indeed true but again why is this even being tolerated in the first place so to recap the mostly female fergus
00:23:03.020
highlanders squad continues to violate world rugby guidelines and the club has morphed into a grotesque laughing
00:23:09.980
stock the world over and they never got to play the consolation final and to think this ongoing fergus
00:23:17.580
fiasco is being done in the name of diversity inclusion and equity as this woke joke rugby rugby club
00:23:25.900
breaks the rules to accommodate a male lesbian rugby player who might just have a screw loose
00:23:32.460
geez maybe it really is high time that rugby players start wearing proper football style helmets there
00:23:41.100
seems to be a lot of brain damaged gals on the fergus highlanders these days don't you think
00:23:46.860
and again i ask where oh where are the feminists on this file
00:24:04.780
well folks next time you fill up at the local shell station and i know that task is increasingly painful
00:24:11.020
these days take a close look at what you're paying for because it turns out that the tax man is getting
00:24:18.060
increasingly greedy for example the federal government and even some of the provinces actually charge a tax
00:24:27.260
on tax every time you fuel up indeed you pay the carbon tax and then a second carbon tax
00:24:35.500
plus all those due rigueur fuel taxes twas ever thus and then to add insult to injury they add their sales
00:24:44.700
tax on top of those aforementioned taxes outrageous little wonder that the canadian taxpayers federation
00:24:53.180
is advocating that it is now high time to scrap the carbon tax and end this outrageous tax on tax and
00:25:03.020
joining me now to discuss this game plan as well as the bizarre re-emergence of climate barbie is the
00:25:10.860
federal director of the canadian taxpayers federation and that would be franco teresano how you doing there
00:25:17.100
franco hey i'm doing great not as good as the tax man i'll be it but i'm doing great thanks for having
00:25:22.700
me on it is always a pleasure franco now first things first i always thought that any kind of government
00:25:30.540
was not able to put a tax on a tax or is this just the stuff of urban legend franco no that's exactly
00:25:40.540
what's happening okay so we all know about the carbon tax we all know about the second carbon tax
00:25:45.660
we all know about the big provincial fuel taxes and big federal excise fuel taxes but what most people
00:25:54.300
don't know is that governments add up all those taxes and then they apply the sales tax on top of
00:26:01.420
those taxes okay so effectively governments are charging their sales tax on all the other taxes
00:26:07.980
that you're already paying at the pumps now the federal government does this so you have a tax on
00:26:13.180
tax all across canada and many of the provinces do as well actually every province east of manitoba
00:26:20.060
also charges their sales tax on top of the other taxes so i mean like look we need a break here the
00:26:25.980
carbon tax the second carbon tax these big fuel taxes i mean come on give us some relief people
00:26:31.900
are just trying to get to work people are just trying to go to the cottage but what's even more
00:26:35.420
pernicious is the fact that we're paying a tax on a tax because of the sales taxes and you know franco i
00:26:42.780
always thought that there is a way for the trudeau liberals to you know with dignity roll back the
00:26:50.540
carbon tax and it's this uh they could still you know quote chapter and verse about how they're
00:26:55.980
committed to climate change and zero net emissions yada yada yada but they could say you know what
00:27:02.860
given the state of the economy given the inflation given the soaring interest rates um simply now is not
00:27:11.580
the time to do this so to help you with your household economy we're going to um temporarily
00:27:19.580
suspend the carbon taxes i think even those who are pro climate change agenda franco they would
00:27:27.260
have something in their heart for that but i don't see any movement in this direction whatsoever
00:27:34.540
no i'm so glad you brought that up right the federal government under prime minister justin trudeau
00:27:39.820
has had every opportunity to back away from the carbon tax and still save face let me just list
00:27:45.420
off a couple ways they could have done it well number one as you mentioned the tough times that
00:27:49.820
have gone by right like the pandemic on our left coast the government of british columbia paused a
00:27:56.460
carbon tax hype and remember bc had was the first province that put in a carbon tax they had the highest
00:28:01.980
carbon tax in canada for years and even on the left coast they said well hold on a second during a
00:28:07.340
pandemic let's just pause the carbon tax hike okay but not just that you're also seeing left politicians
00:28:14.540
now come out and speak against uh both the carbon tax and also provincial fuel taxes right you have
00:28:21.580
premiers in newfoundland and labrador like fury calling out the federal government for making life
00:28:26.380
harder with carbon tax hikes uh just recently you had the ndp leader in manitoba as part of a campaign
00:28:33.500
promise say he would suspend the provincial gas tax which is 14 cents a liter of gas the same as what
00:28:39.980
the trudeau government charges in the carbon tax so we even have left-leaning politicians say okay guys
00:28:45.500
enough's enough people are really struggling let's provide some relief but let me go one step further
00:28:50.540
let's look at the international scene you even had president joe biden musing about gas tax relief
00:28:57.420
we've seen so many other countries australia south korea the united kingdom new zealand um australia
00:29:05.980
netherlands germany they've all cut fuel taxes while prime minister justin trudeau has made your life
00:29:11.660
more expensive with carbon tax hikes it's just amazing they are just so committed to i guess virtue
00:29:19.980
signaling uh franco as opposed to helping you know average canadians scrape by and i want to ask you
00:29:28.300
my friend where do all these taxes end up and i say this because i know you know as i said twas ever
00:29:35.180
thus for decades and decades that a significant portion of a liter of gas in this country uh is taxed
00:29:42.620
and those fuel taxes were ostensibly to go towards maintaining roads building new roads but we know
00:29:52.140
that's a lie we know it all goes into that nebulous black hole called general revenues is that the same
00:29:59.020
thing with these uh carbon taxes as well franco well i'm glad you brought that up because i can hear
00:30:04.860
my neighbors in ottawa shrieking about oh don't forget about the rebates don't forget about the rebates
00:30:09.980
but hold on a second even after you account for the rebates the carbon tax is still leaving the
00:30:16.220
average family this year worse off by hundreds of dollars in fact the carbon tax is costing the
00:30:22.060
average family up to seven hundred and ten dollars this year even after the rebates are factored in
00:30:27.420
that's according to the parliamentary budget officer so you hear the government trying to spin canadians
00:30:32.620
selling us on magic math about these rebates but here's the thing right if you think that the
00:30:37.580
government can raise a carbon tax skim some off the top and then somehow make people better off
00:30:42.620
with rebates then i've got some ocean view property in medicine hat to sell you now franco as i tease in
00:30:49.100
the introduction uh there is the surprising re-emergence of uh katherine mckenna uh maybe it's because of the
00:30:58.300
super successful barbie movie that uh climate barbie uh wants to get back into the picture
00:31:05.580
and be relevant once again but these tweets that she came out with they are astonishing um i'll read
00:31:15.020
one right now quote we need a mandatory climate science lesson for conservative politicians
00:31:22.620
and premiers as well as cost to the lives and livelihoods of canadians from climate change
00:31:29.980
and the economics of the clean transition otherwise canadians pay the price it's absurd but that's
00:31:38.940
where we're at end quote well franco we're already paying the price
00:31:45.900
but what is she getting at that those who are conservative uh they're to blame for climate change and
00:31:54.780
therefore for this rash of forest fires we've had this summer across canada well you know i hope it's
00:32:01.980
not political opportunism right like i really hope that's not the case like but like seriously i mean
00:32:08.460
we shouldn't be trying to take political shots when people are actually really worried right now
00:32:12.860
yeah with the wildfires right like like let's just have some decency and understand that people are
00:32:17.900
really world worried but also too like i can't believe i have to say this out loud with my mouth
00:32:22.940
but the carbon tax in canada isn't going to stop wildfires like like yeah like who is the government
00:32:28.940
or these former politicians i guess like who are they trying to get like do they actually think
00:32:33.660
canadians are are dumb like of course a carbon tax isn't going to stop wildfires i mean i can't believe
00:32:40.700
we also have to point this out mckenna should know this she was the environment minister we've had
00:32:45.260
a carbon tax in canada for quite some time i mean there's still wildfires right having a carbon tax
00:32:51.420
in canada does absolutely nothing for the environment absolutely nothing and let me tell
00:32:56.300
you why there's actually two reasons okay number one fueling up a minivan with gasoline using propane
00:33:03.900
on the farm to dry your grain filling up that big rig with diesel or keeping your home warm or your
00:33:09.980
business warm with natural gas those are essentials for countless canadians so so many canadians can't
00:33:16.940
escape the punishment of a carbon tax people just have less money in their bank accounts for other
00:33:22.060
important things like putting their kids through university so that's reason number one reason
00:33:26.380
number two is this canada makes up 1.5 percent of global emissions okay so making it more expensive
00:33:32.220
for someone to fuel up their sedan on the way to work or to fill up their grocery cart with ground
00:33:37.180
beef or taco night does absolutely nothing to reduce emissions in places like china and russia and india
00:33:43.500
or in the united states so the carbon tax does absolutely nothing for the environment and
00:33:47.580
guess what canadians are paying the price let me just give you some numbers that tax on tax that we're
00:33:51.900
talking about okay every fill up it costs about 265 2.65 let for a sedan let's say you fill up that big
00:34:00.700
sedan honda cord once a week okay the tax on tax alone is 140 bucks a year the tax on tax alone not
00:34:09.260
including the carbon tax not including the second carbon tax not including the fuel taxes
00:34:13.340
not including the price of fuel the tax on tax alone could cost a canadian this year about 140 bucks
00:34:19.820
so we're paying a ton of money through taxes at the pump and it doesn't do a single thing for the
00:34:24.700
environment it just leaves canadians poor no you're absolutely right franco and now as i understand it
00:34:30.380
china where our current environment minister uh is having uh an alliance with and i still can't figure out
00:34:39.580
the rationale for that they're still adding coal plants uh every uh every year so uh again it makes
00:34:47.100
a mockery uh out of what she said but she doubles down mckenna does franco quote conservative politicians
00:34:55.020
want to fight about a price on carbon pollution you want to make it free to pollute while canadians pay
00:35:03.660
with their lives threatened homes destroyed and their communities obliterated so what are you going
00:35:10.300
to do you are the arsonist end quote i mean that is absolutely outrageous and volatile language i guess
00:35:20.060
maybe uh for the black face liberals uh franco maybe there's one solution uh i'm just thinking out the
00:35:26.140
box here why don't we just um oh i don't know uh freeze the bank accounts of conservatives uh
00:35:32.620
because we're obviously uh leading to this uh ongoing climate crisis or is it climate emergency
00:35:39.660
or climate catastrophe i lose track of the language uh sometimes uh but this is just outrageous rhetoric i
00:35:48.380
say uh franco you know i'm gonna i'm gonna lump in mckenna with the other political class in ottawa i know
00:35:53.820
she's not a politician anymore but i'm gonna lump her in with the other politicians and bureaucrats
00:35:59.260
you know the ottawa elite if you will it's pretty easy for them to tell other canadians hey just pay
00:36:05.260
more every time you go to fuel up hey just pay more when you try to heat your home just pay more every
00:36:10.780
time you go to superstore right just to get a roast chicken just pay more it's easy for them to say
00:36:17.180
that right politicians let's not forget give themselves a raise every year most politicians
00:36:22.380
right if they serve for what six years they get a a platinum taxpayer funded pension right uh there's
00:36:28.860
politicians in ottawa we're paying for their taxpayer funded mansion right let's not forget about that
00:36:34.140
or when we pay for them to go overseas to hobnob with whatever celebrity of the day that they're going
00:36:39.500
to be meeting and taking a selfie with right so it's easy for the elite political class in ottawa to tell
00:36:45.660
other people to pay more right and that's what really really leaves a bad taste in my mouth is
00:36:51.660
that it's the people who can afford to live a lavish lifestyle the people who are living a laugh
00:36:57.420
a lavish lifestyle on the back of taxpayers telling the other people who are struggling who actually grow
00:37:03.020
canada's economy to pay more and live the way we want you to live that's what really leaves a bad taste in
00:37:08.860
my mouth yeah you know and and i guess franco um and this will be our exit question where does all this
00:37:15.500
lead to in terms of potential regime change in ottawa um i don't see any indication uh either this year
00:37:24.620
or maybe even next year of interest rates uh going back down again uh i think maybe the best we can hope
00:37:31.420
for is that they stay where they are not increase um canadians are hurting people are canceling road
00:37:38.060
trips the other day i'm in a metro i fill up my basket i think i said um oh that's about um 48 bucks
00:37:45.420
in groceries it was 143 dollars i'd be a wipe out on the prices right the point is um as we go into the
00:37:53.820
election cycle i don't see the economy improving and you know with so many elections as the saying goes
00:38:01.260
it's the economy stupid when you are hurting when you are seeing your disposable income
00:38:08.060
evaporate when you can't make mortgage payments um franco i don't think this all bodes well
00:38:15.180
for the trudeau liberals your thoughts yeah that's a good question i mean i don't know where the economy
00:38:20.700
is going to be whenever the election is being called right but the thing that is clear to me is that
00:38:25.020
everyday people who aren't political are starting to really ask the questions like hey why does
00:38:30.140
everything cost so much why does it take forever to get anything done um and look i'll just kind of
00:38:35.740
leave your listeners with two final thoughts number one is that the government is not the solution the
00:38:40.060
government is the problem right the high cost of government is leading to the high cost of living
00:38:44.380
let's not forget about this but number two to end on a more optimistic note i don't actually think it
00:38:49.340
would take that much change to make things better for canadians and it's pretty easy for the government to reverse
00:38:55.020
course what do they have to do well first they have to stop digging okay that means stop the tax
00:38:59.820
hikes stop the taxes that are making everything more expensive like the carbon tax and the second
00:39:04.700
carbon tax got to scrap those and rein in the crazy amount of spending i mean we've been seeing
00:39:09.660
never-ending deficits for so long so what does the government have to do well it can turn ship pretty
00:39:15.100
quickly if it scraps those carbon taxes and it finally balances the budget by cutting wasteful spending
00:39:20.380
well franko thank you so much you and your organization you're doing incredible work
00:39:25.980
on this front and i hope it results in some tangible change and uh thank you as always for making time
00:39:43.980
well folks a lot of feedback regarding tamara ugolini's monologue last night regarding the wildfires
00:39:50.220
in canada and uh the inane statements by our prime minister justin trudeau tracy green 4786 writes
00:40:00.380
these are intentional fires wildfires are accidents there is a huge difference well you know what i'm
00:40:07.660
open to that there they indeed could be uh intentional fires i know some of the arsonists have been arrested
00:40:15.980
but for justin trudeau to first of all blame climate change and then blame conservatives and then blame
00:40:26.460
meta for the lack of information getting out boy this man is just looking like such a desperate person with
00:40:35.020
every passing day mary 2023 writes trudeau shoved censorship bills at canadians and now he is complaining
00:40:43.980
over his own problems that he created couldn't care about meta facebook anyways nothing more than
00:40:51.740
another source of propaganda no you're absolutely right mary this we have seen this over the last
00:40:57.820
eight years no matter what the scandal is from snc lavlin to blackface it is always somebody else's fault
00:41:06.780
when it comes to this egotistical prime minister i can hardly wait for regime change alan crawford 2696 writes
00:41:18.860
the only carbon pollution in the air is expelled by jt yeah you know what and that is the kind of carbon
00:41:28.300
i wouldn't mind putting a carbon tax on this country would be quite wealthy as a result well folks that
00:41:36.060
