00:00:00.000 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?
00:00:45.560 Never seen anything quite like this.
00:00:48.180 Freeland was going to have to answer a lot of really uncomfortable questions after it later today,
00:00:52.620 but not anymore since she's resigned.
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.
00:01:04.600 It could be more than that because of this.
00:01:07.200 And I know that Freeland and Trudeau haven't been getting on as of late,
00:01:11.200 but oh my goodness, this is unbelievable.
00:01:13.520 Now, how long can the government stand?
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
00:01:41.100 walks out in front of the cameras today.
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?
00:01:52.020 Justin Trudeau, his interim finance minister?
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. 0.94
00:02:03.600 I don't think we can wait until October.
00:02:05.880 Jagmeet, are you listening?
00:02:08.000 Thanks for watching.
00:02:08.980 Talk to you again soon.
