What else is Justin Trudeau willing to do to try to save his sinking ship? What else will he do to get his party back on track in the polls? I predict a universal basic income, a student loan forgiveness, and more tax incentives for first-time home buyers.

00:00:00.000 Hi it's John welcome to the channel drinking a cup of coffee this morning
00:00:04.240 420 in the morning yeah 420 in the morning you might hear my washer going
00:00:08.760 right behind me here figured I'd get some stuff done early this morning and I
00:00:12.660 was thinking about this tax break that Trudeau rolled out earlier this week
00:00:17.280 cutting the GST giving people a $250 check those people who make under $150
00:00:24.120 thousand dollars a year you know bribing you with your own money remember that
00:00:27.600 this is not government money this is your money they take way too much from you
00:00:32.560 and now he's trying to give you a break but I have been surprised by a lot of
00:00:37.140 the articles and actually quite pleased by articles I've read on this many people
00:00:40.800 are just saying this is gonna blow a six to seven billion dollar hole in our
00:00:44.780 deficit a deficit that is way too big already and it's not really gonna do
00:00:49.980 much to help people somebody said that if they get this in place by December 15th
00:00:54.780 you'll save about five bucks on a Christmas tree if you're lucky and if
00:00:58.000 you wait that long to to get a Christmas tree and this is all about trying to get
00:01:04.200 Pierre Polyev the leader of the opposition here in Canada to react to it to
00:01:08.580 vote down a tax break for Canadians it's not about helping Canadians it's about
00:01:13.020 helping Justin Trudeau and his party get out of the dumpster fire that they are
00:01:17.520 right now in the polls that's all this is about but we are about 11 months away
00:01:23.280 from an election here in Canada we're expecting it October 2025 and my question
00:01:29.460 is this what else is Trudeau willing to do to try to save his sinking ship this
00:01:34.980 is a desperate man so I came up with a couple of things this morning there's
00:01:39.000 probably more and as they get closer to the election more will pop up and I'll
00:01:42.360 probably talk about them but one I predict he is going to promise a
00:01:47.280 universal basic income in Canada there have been politicians in Canada that
00:01:53.520 have floated this out for years actually spoke to Hugh Siegel who passed away a
00:01:57.420 couple of years ago he was a senator I spoke to him about this on the air a
00:02:00.880 number of years ago he was in favor of this I think it's basically money for
00:02:04.280 nothing and it doesn't incentivize working it incentivize sitting around to do
00:02:08.660 nothing but Trudeau is going to float this out probably within the election
00:02:13.800 range so it's about six weeks before the election he's going to throw this issue
00:02:17.820 out as a wedge issue to try to get Polyev to go against it he wants to make
00:02:23.180 Polyev react to what he's doing because Polyev wants this to be about the carbon
00:02:27.860 tax and Trudeau wants to get away from that the carbon tax is not very popular
00:02:32.520 here in Canada people want to see it go so he has to make this about something
00:02:36.780 else so he's going to float out a universal basic income just prior to the
00:02:41.180 election the other thing he's going to do is he's going to forgive student loans
00:02:44.960 or a portion of student loans in Canada they did this in the United States
00:02:48.860 against the Supreme Court's will Biden was giving students money and it was
00:02:54.500 taxpayers money once again so he's going to do this and I actually looked online
00:02:58.760 to see what the with the student loan debt is like in Canada the average
00:03:04.280 recent graduate of a bachelor's degree owes about thirty thousand dollars in has
00:03:09.120 about thirty thousand dollars in debt so he is going to do that another wedge
00:03:12.660 issue free money for young people who Trudeau desperately needs to vote for
00:03:17.340 him I also think he's going to give more tax incentives for first-time homebuyers
00:03:22.200 of course housing is a real issue in Canada United States Britain I think in
00:03:27.380 Australia as well all the countries where have allowed a lot of illegal
00:03:30.780 people to come into the country won't have any place to live and housing prices 1.00
00:03:34.320 are going through the roof and Pierre Polyev who is again the leader of the
00:03:37.680 opposition here has made this an issue even though Trudeau said about a year and
00:03:41.520 a half ago that housing is not a federal responsibility he's going to give
00:03:45.060 another tax incentive and make it make it another wedge issue for the upcoming 0.99
00:03:49.440 election he wants Polyev to go against this all right and again this is bribing
00:03:54.000 you with your own money returning your money to its rightful owner which is you
00:03:57.960 this is your money he's handing out and finally not a money issue but Trudeau is
00:04:03.780 going to make a major announcement about his personal life which won't surprise me
00:04:08.400 at all and it probably won't surprise his wife either
00:04:11.660 thanks for watching
