00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel. It is 3.56 a.m. Saturday, September the 5th. I hope
00:00:09.160 you're having a great start to your Saturday and a fantastic start to your weekend as well. I tip
00:00:13.920 the big blue mug of coffee to you. Thank you so much for being here, and I am so close to 55,000
00:00:19.000 subscribers. It's been a great week for subscribers, but if you would please click on subscribe right
00:00:24.200 now. You may be the person that puts a big smile on my face as I hit 55,000. Thank you very much.
00:00:31.060 So today, what are we going to talk about? We're going to talk about the week that was or the day
00:00:35.800 that is here in crazy, kooking, careening catastrophe Canada. There's some alliteration
00:00:42.100 for you. It's been an amazing week. So much content as well dealing with Canada. You know,
00:00:47.720 just more and more reason why I want Alberta to vote for option two in the referendum in October.
00:00:53.660 It's getting closer, folks, so that we can eventually get our independence here.
00:00:56.920 But we'll move on from that.
00:00:58.160 We're going to talk about a few things today, one of which seems pretty far away.
00:01:02.480 For somebody in Alberta and for people who live in other provinces other than Ontario,
00:01:07.720 this seems like a long way away.
00:01:09.640 But this is about a lot of your money, and you should be paying attention here
00:01:12.900 because the price tag of this project is going up, up, up, up.
00:01:16.780 It's amazing, and it's just creeping up by tens of billions of dollars of your money.
00:01:21.660 and it's dealing with high-speed rail in Ontario along the corridor where all the people determine
00:01:27.900 the government you get here in Canada, right from Lake America, where Toronto is, all the way out
00:01:33.880 into Quebec. So we're going to talk about that today. Also, we're going to talk a little bit
00:01:38.560 about job losses. We're going to start off with that. And I don't relish the fact that Canada
00:01:43.540 is losing jobs because these are people that are being affected by a government that continuously
00:01:48.740 lies to you about the situation when it comes to jobs in this country. We're going to start off
00:01:53.460 with that in just a moment. Now, something you were told by the lefties that would never happen
00:01:59.580 continues to happen over and over and over again. And as a kicker to this story,
00:02:05.940 there's an article, I believe it's Brian Lilly. We're going to talk about it in just a moment.
00:02:10.300 And I'm sorry to say the word because it makes you want to vomit. If I say this, make sure you've
00:02:15.320 got something handy to wipe off your screens, but it's about Justin Trudeau. We're going to
00:02:19.800 use that as a kicker to the story today. So let's start off with this article right here.
00:02:25.700 Canada employment down 41,700 in August. Hang on a second. Let me bring myself up on screen here.
00:02:31.480 There we go. Jobless rate holds at 6.4%. Now, I want you to understand something. I am not
00:02:37.620 celebrating this. I'm not trying to own Mark Carney and the Liberal government in Ottawa
00:02:42.260 because of these job losses. That's not my point here. My point is that we're being constantly
00:02:48.320 misinformed by this government regarding what is going on here. There's that old saying by a
00:02:55.040 famous propagandist. I won't mention his name here. YouTube could flag my video for it. But
00:03:01.280 there's that old saying, a lie told once is still a lie. A lie told a thousand times becomes the
00:03:08.340 truth. Here's Mark Carney regarding jobs. I believe this is just a couple of days ago.
00:03:13.840 That's been the plan of this government since the start. We've been putting in place. It's working.
00:03:18.900 Still early days, but it's working. We're growing jobs at four times the rate of the United States.
00:03:23.380 And what Carney is saying here is untrue. If you look at this graphic right here,
00:03:28.900 thanks to Kirk Lubomov, follow Kirk on X or wherever he may be on social media,
00:03:33.840 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. You can see the numbers here. I mean, this is not true what
00:03:39.600 Carney is saying. There's that old saying, when a liberal's lips are moving, what are they doing?
00:03:45.720 They're lying. They're what? They're lying. They're lying. And I believe the liberals are
00:03:54.560 playing games with people's lives right now. And if we don't get some adults at the negotiating
00:04:01.040 table with the United States real soon. It's going to get bad real fast. And a prediction
00:04:06.320 coming up in just a moment about this. And this is not a prediction from Fox News. This is not
00:04:13.580 a prediction from some right-wing media group in the United States, not an American trade
00:04:18.120 representative, not Donald Trump himself. This is a prediction coming from the bought and paid
00:04:24.180 for media, the Canadian Broadcorp incastration. Things are going to get bad real quick.
00:04:30.460 Canada's job market really does depend on getting a trade deal with the United States.
00:04:35.980 There was a report out earlier this week from Deloitte that said that if the U.S. does the worst-case scenario,
00:04:41.680 which is pulling out of Kuzma entirely, Canada could lose 162,000 jobs every year for the next decade.
00:04:49.240 That is the worst-case scenario, but it is something to think about.
00:04:53.260 A worst case scenario, but if it was only half of that, it would be an absolute catastrophe.
00:05:00.500 Now let's move on to the next thing in crazy kooky Canada. You've got this article from
00:05:07.160 Brian Lilly in the Toronto Sun just from yesterday, nine hours ago. Why not, Mark Carney, just hire
00:05:14.400 somebody who has been an absolute failure? It's kind of your modus operandi, but here's an article
00:05:21.080 Hill here. Phil Verster failed Ontario. Now he's advising Mark Carney on high-speed rail. Now
00:05:27.100 pay attention to the highlights here. I've highlighted different colors here. Pay attention
00:05:31.860 to the highlights because this is something that's just kind of crept up on us and something I
00:05:36.740 predicted when high-speed rail was announced. It was announced by Trudeau, remember, before he even
00:05:42.500 resigned. The former head of Metro Lynx couldn't get Toronto's crosstown LRT across the finish line.
00:05:48.820 Now he's advising Ottawa on a $150 billion high-speed rail project.
00:05:54.440 Just a bit of this story.
00:05:55.880 The man who couldn't get slow-moving light rail to work properly in Ontario
00:05:59.560 is now advising the Kearney government on their Alto high-speed rail project.
00:06:04.220 Now, keep in mind, this project may not have anything to do with you.
00:06:07.940 You may never get on this train, but folks are going to pay for it.
00:06:13.300 We're going to get to that in just a second.
00:06:15.740 Pay attention to the colours.
00:06:18.820 If ever there was a sign that the ULTO project is destined for disaster,
00:06:26.280 it's the decision to hire former Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster.
00:06:29.940 Boy, Brian Lilly's not holding anything back here.
00:06:33.140 Vester won't be running the project, thankfully,
00:06:35.560 but as first reported by the Toronto Star,
00:06:38.300 will work on the project as a consultant.
00:06:41.360 Pay attention to the colors here, folks.
00:06:43.600 Just a little bit more of this story.
00:06:45.520 I won't bore the crap out of you.
00:06:46.800 Hired in 2017 at just over $500,000 a year, Verster continued collecting his raises and bonuses while failing to deliver what was promised.
00:06:55.860 His salary eventually topped out at $883,000 despite never delivering the Crosstown.
00:07:03.160 In April 2023, as insiders in the Ford government pushed to boost his salary to more than a million a year,
00:07:09.780 it was revealed that part of the reason for the Crosstown delay was that the tracks had been improperly laid.
00:07:16.320 Verster's time at Metrolinx came to an end in late 2024, far too late to save taxpayers from the ridiculous delays and cost overruns, as well as his unjustified salary and expenses.
00:07:28.780 Check this out. It was only after he was gone that it was reported publicly that Verster had been collecting a car allowance of $13,392 per year.
00:07:39.980 Pretty bad, right? It's even worse. He didn't even own or lease a car.
00:07:44.080 So this is the guy that Mark Carney has hired for this job.
00:07:47.680 But did you pay attention to the colors?
00:07:49.480 Like I told you, it's now $150 billion high-speed rail project.
00:07:54.980 Now, Lily puts in here $90 billion to $150 billion, but it's slowly creeping up, folks.
00:08:01.700 And we're hiring incompetent people to put in this rail line, which I guess won't even be built for more than a decade.
00:08:09.100 Now, here's Mark Carney.
00:08:10.300 This is in Black Locks.
00:08:11.560 high-speed rail is popular. So it's just a short little bit here, but Canadians nationwide have
00:08:19.380 strong interest in a proposed $90 billion regional high-speed railway in eastern Ontario and Quebec.
00:08:25.980 Prime Minister Mark Carney said yesterday, what did I say about when liberal lips are moving?
00:08:31.780 They're lying. They're what? They're lying. They're lying. But it's also propaganda when they say
00:08:40.180 things like this. I mean, check out this from Canada Proud on X. The Kearney Liberals have now
00:08:45.500 spent nearly $1.6 million to advertise their Alto high-speed rail project from Toronto to Quebec
00:08:52.760 City, which is not set to be completed for over two decades. It's even longer than I thought.
00:08:57.940 They have also hired 13 vice presidents to oversee the project. Now, I would just like to say to
00:09:03.680 Canada Proud and other people who write things like this, the Kearney Liberals haven't spent this
00:09:08.020 money. They're not hiring vice presidents. The Canadian taxpayer is, and it's $90 to $150 billion
00:09:15.320 now. Now let's move on to another story, another thing in crazy kooky Canada. We'll move along to
00:09:20.820 this story right here. Now, this is the thing you were told would never happen. Amy Ham,
00:09:29.860 biological males dominating in women's golf in BC and Alberta. It's the blue you see on the screen
00:09:35.300 here you need to read. There is a reason that the reverse doesn't happen. We're going to read a
00:09:40.040 little bit of the story to you. I'm going to try to avoid saying the words so we don't have to
00:09:43.680 blank it out, but it might slip in. This summer, two T-gender identifying golfers, Veronica Ivy
00:09:50.540 and Rachel Elzer, won five women's golf championships in Alberta and British Columbia.
00:09:57.760 And I'm not going to read them all, but there they are on the screen right from here down to here.
00:10:02.280 Ivy previously competed in women's cycling under the name Rachel McKinnon. So Ivy's changing
00:10:08.700 its name and won the Women's World Masters title for 2018 and 2019. I'm a cycling fan. I remember
00:10:16.300 this. There were women standing on the podium that were tiny compared to this huge. Men are better
00:10:23.740 at cycling. Men are better at most sports. Men are faster, stronger, always. That's obvious to most
00:10:31.460 people, but not to people who allow this to happen. At the time, McKinnon accused those who
00:10:37.180 called the winds unfair or engaging in hate speech and T-phobia. More famously, Ivy also told female
00:10:44.360 detractors to die in a grease fire. There is a reason that not a single female to male T-gender
00:10:51.880 athlete has ever dominated in male sports. That reason is obvious to anyone who practices
00:10:58.000 intellectual honesty. Just the end of this story. The policy of Alberta golf and British Columbia
00:11:04.480 golf, which obliterates any evidence-based distinction between male and female categories,
00:11:10.180 caters to ideologues and the feelings of a small number of T-gender identifying athletes rather
00:11:16.620 than to the truth. It is stunningly unfair and backwards. You're seeing this happen more and
00:11:22.460 more. And thankfully, a lot of sports organizations are changing their policies on this.
00:11:27.840 Now we're going to go to this last story here about the lost decade. Again, this is from Post
00:11:34.140 Media News. Let me bring it up on the screen here. And where all the kooky Canada started?
00:11:43.000 Well, this is a great article. I'm going to try to put links in the description so you can read
00:11:46.300 all of these things. Haunted by the lost decade. And, you know, Danielle Smith has called it the
00:11:52.380 lost decade as well, the premier of Alberta. There's a reason why observers call it 10 years
00:11:57.560 this country was led by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The lost decade, his tenure as
00:12:02.580 PM is littered with failed experiments that haunt us to this day, and many of these things continue
00:12:07.080 to this day. They haven't been righted. Prior to becoming Prime Minister in 2015, Trudeau
00:12:12.020 eerily proclaimed the budget would balance itself. And the budget will balance itself.
00:12:18.540 His heavy-handed implementation of the Emergencies Act in 2022 was ruled unlawful by a federal court.
00:12:25.080 his government's failure to effectively address anti-Semitism in the wake of the October 7th,
00:12:30.540 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel was also troubling. But his policies around immigration are the ones
00:12:36.140 that have caused the most long-lasting grief. Prior to his ham-fisted implementation of new
00:12:41.240 policies, this country had a sensible and well-controlled approach to immigration.
00:12:45.880 Then Trudeau opened the floodgates. Just a bit more of this story for you.
00:12:49.460 Finally, in 2024, he admitted what most sensible people were saying.
00:12:55.160 We didn't get the balance quite right.
00:12:57.300 We knew this going into this, that this would be a catastrophe.
00:13:00.420 Now, here's the fallout from this you may not know about.
00:13:04.940 Our health care system is creaking under Trudeau's mistakes.
00:13:08.340 According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, PDO, the cost of the Interim Federal Health
00:13:13.800 program, IFHP, soared from $210 million a year in 2021-2022 to $896 million in 24-25. The program
00:13:25.840 was supposed to provide temporary health care to refugees and asylum seekers. Instead, it became
00:13:32.360 an entrenched handout. The PBO reported the average duration of the coverage for the fiscal
00:13:38.500 year, 2024-25, was four years. It was reported 74,000 failed asylum claimants are accessing the
00:13:47.580 program instead of being deported. Carney announced cuts to the program earlier this year. That's
00:13:53.120 great, right? Then he later walked them back. Immigration to this country is an honor and a
00:13:58.620 privilege. You come here, work hard and give back. You don't take advantage of the country
00:14:02.820 that opened its arms to you. Now, they talk about money here, but folks, these people are filling up
00:14:08.320 lines at hospitals, which make it harder for you, a taxpayer paying Canadian to actually get
00:14:13.300 healthcare in this country. That's the other follow-up from this. What this article doesn't
00:14:17.000 talk about is all of the climate change legislation that's held us back and lost us a billion dollars
00:14:24.240 in investment over the last 10 years. And here's the thing, they talk about deficits under,
00:14:28.880 you know, under Justin Trudeau and how the budget will balance itself. This new government is,
00:14:34.240 I mean, it's in the stratosphere compared to Trudeau. We're probably looking at 70 to 80
00:14:39.400 billion dollars this year just in deficits, which will drive up inflation amongst all the other
00:14:46.000 crazy kooky things that are going on in this country right now. Thank you very much for
00:14:50.480 watching. I could have kept going on. I don't want this video to go on forever. And you got a Saturday
00:14:54.820 to enjoy. Enjoy the weekend. And if you like the video, please give it a thumbs up. Subscribe to
