Hi, it's John. Welcome back to the channel. And my, how things have changed after my video went out
00:00:06.180
less than two hours ago regarding the update on the deficit here in Canada
00:00:11.460
and what was to be presented by Chrystia Freeland, our Minister of Finance, who resigned this morning.
00:00:18.460
Apparently, she was offered a job by Justin Trudeau on Friday, a different job.
00:00:22.560
And instead of taking it, she's jumping ship, just like Sean Fraser, the Liberal Housing Minister, did on the weekend.
00:00:28.540
So, we've got a couple of more jumping ship on Justin Trudeau.
00:00:32.080
I think Chrystia Freeland voted non-confidence in Justin Trudeau this morning.
00:00:36.840
Jagmeet Singh, where are you? But this is absolutely amazing.
00:00:41.160
And the question is, who's going to present this update, this mini budget for us today?
00:00:48.180
Freeland was going to have to answer a lot of really uncomfortable questions after it later today,
00:00:54.660
This just tells me that this economic update is going to be an absolute nightmare for Canadians.
00:01:00.760
You know, it's been projected that it's $60 billion, our deficit.
00:01:07.200
And I know that Freeland and Trudeau haven't been getting on as of late,
00:01:16.760
You know, a house divided upon itself cannot stand while the Liberal House right now is falling apart.
00:01:25.540
And you just have to wonder how many more rats are going to jump ship on Justin Trudeau.
00:01:29.780
We're going into a five to six week break, so there's going to be a lot of speculation
00:01:33.620
before they get back into the Parliament on January the 27th.
00:01:37.860
And then, of course, it's going to be interesting to see what happens when Pierre Paliyev
00:01:42.840
Oh my goodness, he's going to have a field day with this.
00:01:46.620
So who's going to answer the questions regarding the absolute nightmare of a deficit I just mentioned?
00:01:56.780
Boy, things are really a mess in this country right now,
00:01:59.980
and we really need an election sooner before later.
