John Bolton - $41 Billion Scandal - Your Money Gone - LIberals Fault

00:00:00.000 What I'm going to talk about over the next few minutes is a massive scandal, but will the federal government do anything about this? Will anyone do anything about this? Let's get into it.

00:00:14.060 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 433 a.m. Thursday, October the 1st. I hope you're having a great start to your Thursday and a great start to October as well. And I just noticed that my light isn't on. Just one second. Let me fix that.

00:00:30.000 We are now on air. Okay. So here we go. This is a massive scandal.

00:00:39.860 This is a $41 billion scandal. And when you hear about it, you're going to say,

00:00:48.660 we need to do something about this. Will anything be done about this? These are a couple of

00:00:53.420 questions that will run through your mind and you will answer them yourself and say, no,

00:00:57.340 because of the topic, the subject matter. Will the Liberal government that is mostly responsible for

00:01:03.600 this, that is 99% responsible for this, do anything about it? No. The Liberals, Trudeau,

00:01:09.740 Carney are responsible for this. In fact, they're giving more money into this, more of your money,

00:01:13.760 which you can't afford right now. You know, we've got a Liberal government, I've said this before,

00:01:18.280 that is proud of the fact that they now have to subsidize people in Canada so they can afford to

00:01:22.300 eat. Yet they're spending $41 billion of your money on this, and nothing will be done about

00:01:27.880 it. Will Pierre Polyev, the leader of the opposition, do anything about this? No, he'll

00:01:32.040 probably be asked about it. He'll complain about it when he becomes prime minister, if that ever

00:01:36.460 happens, which is highly unlikely. He'll do nothing about it because he cowers when it comes to this

00:01:41.100 subject. The people that are the biggest victims of this, and they are victims, ladies and gentlemen,

00:01:45.680 won't do anything about this. They will stand in front of a train, or they'll stand in front of a

00:01:49.540 pipeline, if it goes through their land, but they won't do anything because one, they're afraid of

00:01:53.780 the chiefs, and two, they won't do anything about it because they won't stand up for themselves.

00:01:59.160 And Canadian taxpayers should be writing letters to their MPs today saying,

00:02:02.680 we need to fix this. And I think there's a pretty easy fix.

00:02:05.860 The numbers are staggering here. I'm not going to get into the numbers too much

00:02:09.080 because it just baffles your brain when you see all the numbers. But this is the article we're

00:02:13.160 talking about here today. I've talked about this issue before. I've said on this channel,

00:02:17.620 There will never be reconciliation because the grift has to continue, ladies and gentlemen.

00:02:22.860 And this is a $41 billion grift. Now, this is $41 billion of federal money. We'll look at some

00:02:30.680 other money as well because we have provinces and we have cities as well that pay into this.

00:02:35.440 Not only that, people who are indigenous can use the social services that you all use. So,

00:02:40.780 there's a lot of money going out the door here and nobody's being held accountable. Although,

00:02:44.260 there was a prime minister at one time that wanted to hold these people accountable and the

00:02:49.820 liberals changed that. We'll get to that in just a moment. We're going to look at some numbers here

00:02:52.840 and you're going to go, oh my God. So I'm not going to read this whole story. And this is based

00:02:57.140 on government statistics. It talks about the Fraser Institute, but this is based on government

00:03:02.340 statistics. I'll give you the webpage below. You can look it up yourself. Federal indigenous

00:03:06.960 spending quadrupled to $40.8 billion under Trudeau with negligible improvement to communities,

00:03:13.640 report. A little bit of this article. I don't want to bore the crap out of you. I want this

00:03:18.480 video over quickly. In the decade leading up to 2024-25, inflation-adjusted federal Indigenous

00:03:24.860 spending jumped from $10.3 billion to $40.8 billion, growing seven times faster than overall

00:03:32.160 federal spending, according to a new study published by the Fraser Institute, broken down

00:03:37.620 by federal spending per province annual federal Indigenous spending ranges from a low of $73

00:03:43.060 million to PEI to a high of $8.8 billion in Ontario. In BC, 2024-2025, the federal government

00:03:52.480 spent approximately $6.3 billion on program benefits for Indigenous people in the province

00:03:57.940 and average expenditure, check this out, of $20,306 per Indigenous person, according to the

00:04:05.520 study. Are they getting that much money, these people? No, they're victims. Now, you can blame

00:04:10.520 on all Indigenous people, but these people are victims of a system that's broken, that will not

00:04:16.360 be fixed. Canadians need to understand the magnitude of Ottawa's Indigenous spending in

00:04:21.360 recent years if they're ever to properly assess what the additional spending is achieving in terms

00:04:26.660 of results for Indigenous people. Meanwhile, previous Fraser Institute research from 2024

00:04:31.920 found that federal Indigenous spending almost tripled under Trudeau from $11 billion in 2015

00:04:37.380 to a projected $32 billion.

00:04:38.980 We're now at $40.8 billion, ladies and gentlemen.

00:04:42.240 In April, Carney gave them $601 million

00:04:45.020 for culturally relevant elementary

00:04:47.500 and secondary education on reserves

00:04:49.480 and $700 million over six years

00:04:51.980 to support indigenous communities

00:04:53.540 implementing jurisdiction for child and family services.

00:04:56.840 Where does all this money go?

00:05:01.480 However, listen to this.

00:05:03.180 However, Statistics Canada Community Wellbeing Index,

00:05:05.840 and by the way, this is a government document

00:05:07.360 Here it is. Link in the description. This is information directly available to you and the

00:05:12.440 Fraser Institute. However, Statistics Canada's Community Wellbeing Index, CWB, which gauges the

00:05:18.580 socioeconomic health of Canadian communities, suggests the spending increases have led to

00:05:23.340 little improvement for Indigenous communities. I'm going to just jump this next bit. There's

00:05:27.360 too many numbers. We'll get to the bottom of this article. The report said despite an 84%

00:05:32.440 increase in the department's spending on programs since the 2019-2020 fiscal year,

00:05:39.220 significant challenges remained in improving services and program outcomes for First Nation

00:05:44.820 communities. In fact, the document said the ability to achieve the target specified

00:05:49.800 has declined. $40.8 billion a year. And there's more, folks, a lot more. Now, I remember,

00:05:58.940 I'm old enough to remember. You're probably old enough to remember when Prime Minister Smug Boy

00:06:03.940 stood out there. This little clip, which is a minute long, please forgive me for showing you

00:06:08.920 Prime Minister Smug Boy. This comes from 2017. Listen to what he had to say. And here we are

00:06:14.100 almost 10 years later, and we're spending four times as much, and nothing has changed.

00:06:18.900 We've been working hard in partnership with other orders of government and with Indigenous

00:06:23.880 leaders in Canada to correct past injustices and to bring about a better quality of life

00:06:30.940 for Indigenous peoples in Canada. Our efforts include investments to help bring safe and clean

00:06:38.100 drinking water to all Indigenous communities. Almost 10 years later and nothing has changed,

00:06:43.400 ladies and gentlemen. People don't even have clean drinking water and these people are victims as

00:06:47.540 well. Indigenous people are victims of this. The money's not getting to them. I think of my friend

00:06:52.620 Cory Morgan from the Western Standard. He was in court the other day, again, because they are

00:06:58.640 suing him for going on a public road through their land, through their territory, and pointing out

00:07:04.380 the squalor these people live in, despite the fact of us spending $40.8 billion and more.

00:07:11.680 Because there's more, folks. Because we have provinces as well. I went into chat,

00:07:15.940 GPT, quick numbers here, folks. Can you break down by province the amount of money spent on

00:07:20.800 Indigenous people. This would be the amount each provincial government contributes, not federal

00:07:25.100 money. And you can see the numbers here. Alberta alone is spending $230.3 million on this.

00:07:32.040 Municipal governments do the same. Can you provide any money allocated specifically

00:07:35.880 for Indigenous people in the following Canadian cities? Exclude money provided federally and

00:07:40.620 provincially, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal. They're all giving millions upon

00:07:44.960 millions of dollars to this as well, and things aren't getting better. And then I asked this

00:07:49.640 question as well. Are Indigenous people in Canada able to access all social services available to

00:07:54.980 all non-Indigenous people? Just a one-word answer. Yes or no? Yes, of course they can.

00:08:02.660 Then I went to this. Provide me with the latest count of Indigenous people in Canada.

00:08:06.240 And here's the rub, folks. We're talking about $40.8 billion. 1.8 million Indigenous people in

00:08:14.140 this country according to this count in Statistics Canada's 2021 census, representing 5% of Canada's

00:08:20.500 population. Let's divide $40.8 billion by 1.8 million people. That comes out to $22,666.67

00:08:33.420 per person. How much of this money is actually getting to Indigenous people in this country

00:08:38.220 that are supposed to benefit from your tax dollars.

00:08:40.780 Look at this number, more than $22,000 per person.

00:08:45.840 You know, Pierre Paliyev should come out in the next election campaign and say,

00:08:48.900 hey, listen, we're going to cut the Indigenous budget down to half,

00:08:52.440 about $20 billion a year, 1.00

00:08:53.920 and we're going to pay every Indigenous person in this country

00:08:56.840 $10,000 a year for the rest of time.

00:09:00.600 The Canadian taxpayer would save half their money,

00:09:03.020 and the people on these reserves would be far better off.

00:09:06.580 But let's be honest here.

00:09:07.880 $20 billion is still way too much. The government is growing as well when it comes to Indigenous 0.54

00:09:14.100 fares. Has the number of people working in Indigenous fares in Canada grown over the last

00:09:18.200 11 years? And by how much? Yes, the federal workforce dealing with Indigenous fares has

00:09:23.520 grown substantially over roughly the last 11 years. The parliamentary budget officer examined

00:09:28.500 the period between 2015 and 2016 and reported that combined FTEs were approximately 4,500 at

00:09:35.540 the beginning of the period and has risen to about 9,200. So government grows and grows and

00:09:40.540 grows as does the bill for indigenous people. Now there was a prime minister at one time you 0.67

00:09:45.140 might remember that wanted to do something about this. This goes back to 2011. This is 15 years

00:09:51.420 ago. Harper wants accountable First Nations self-government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper

00:09:55.900 says First Nations communities must develop strong accountable systems of self-government

00:10:00.360 in the long run as Ottawa grapples with a housing crisis in the remote First Nations

00:10:05.080 community of Attawapiskat. I'm very aware of what happens in Attawapiskat. These people used to come

00:10:10.780 down into Cornwall, Ontario and have to stay at a local hotel because their community was flooded

00:10:15.460 out pretty much every year. This was 15 years ago. This is still happening. $40.8 billion. But

00:10:24.160 what happened as soon as Smug Boy got in? Statement by the Honorable Carolyn Bennett on the First

00:10:28.980 Nations Financial Transparency Act. December 18th, 2015. Remember, why do we have a government like

00:10:37.240 this? Why do you have so many women in your cabinet? Because it's 2015. Today, I directed 1.00

00:10:42.020 my department to cease all discretionary compliance measures related to the First

00:10:46.000 Nations Financial Transparency Act and to reinstate funding withheld from First Nations

00:10:50.460 under these measures. There's no accountability. The chiefs get richer. The people on the reserves

00:10:55.440 who I talk to because we're having a referendum here. You talk to indigenous people, they're

00:10:59.440 scared that anybody on the reserves and the chiefs find out that they're voting in favor

00:11:04.920 of independence. We've heard as high as 48% of indigenous people in this province want to get

00:11:10.040 the hell out of Canada because they want things to change. This is absurd. And why this isn't a

00:11:15.900 massive scandal that it is and why nothing will be done about it, it just boggles the mind. This

00:11:20.900 is your money, folks. Write your MP. I'm writing a letter as soon as I finish up with this video.

00:11:26.600 Thank you very much for watching. That's my rant for the day. Make a big deal out of this. Share

00:11:30.700 it. I appreciate it. Give the video a thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel. Ring the bell for

00:11:36.200 notifications. By the way, if you saw my shirt at the beginning, this is up on my new store,

00:11:41.240 the Big Blue Mug Store. If you'd like to pick one up, you can get yourself a mug as well with

00:11:45.300 the Big Blue Mug on it. I'll put a link in the description. I'll see you in the next one.

00:11:50.900 We're off air.
