00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 406 a.m. Tuesday, July the 14th. I hope you're
00:00:08.600 having a great Tuesday. I've got the big blue mug of coffee and I woke up in an ornery mood
00:00:14.880 this morning. I've got to take care of something today, a headache that I never expected, which
00:00:19.300 I'm not going to get into right now. And then I start reading some of the headlines
00:00:27.080 And I start reading what people really think are priorities in Canada.
00:00:30.980 For Christ's sakes, get your priorities straight, elbows up, people.
00:00:35.040 We're going to get to that in just a moment.
00:00:36.500 So what I'm going to do today is we're going to look at the state of Canada,
00:00:39.660 the state of Alberta, or I guess the province of Alberta,
00:00:43.160 the hopefully new country of Alberta in just a moment.
00:00:46.520 And then we're going to look at what people really are focusing on in Canada
00:00:50.740 that they think is a top priority right now.
00:00:53.380 It's absolutely maddening as somebody who lives out west and wants to get the hell out of Canada.
00:01:00.200 What's the state of Canada right now?
00:01:02.500 Let's take a quick look at this story.
00:01:04.940 It's something I've covered here over the last week or so, but it's some new video for you.
00:01:09.340 A new survey from KPMG shows 42% of Canadian manufacturers are considering moving production south or already have.
00:01:17.800 57 percent have paused cut back or canceled capital investment projects and 61 percent say
00:01:24.980 their business can't survive without access to the United States. Things are not good in your
00:01:30.520 country. When are you going to wake up? Now the polls are starting to slip a little bit for Carney
00:01:36.700 but 60 percent of the people in this country think he's doing a good job. When are you going
00:01:42.380 to wake up? I mean, there's this right here. I mean, you saw this the other day. Carney has had
00:01:48.200 the worst first year of growth for a PM since 1963. Poll. Despite that, 60% of Canadians think
00:01:55.100 Carney has done a good job. When are you going to wake up? Like Pierre Polyev says, Canada is in a
00:02:01.320 recession, and we're the only country in a recession in the G7 right now. And it's because
00:02:06.800 of mismanagement of the country by the Liberals, and Mark Carney's had a big part of that, folks.
00:02:11.740 when are you going to wake up we're sick and tired of this and you're dragging us down if we don't
00:02:18.480 win this vote in the fall you're dragging alberta down with you you should be cheering us on go 1.00
00:02:23.940 alberta get the hell out of country out of the country and get away from ottawa 0.99
00:02:28.780 i mean we got we got these fools of the independence movement out here and from 0.98
00:02:36.860 people across the country, including Mark Carney, saying if Alberta keeps talking about independence 0.61
00:02:42.280 and they call it separation, if they keep talking about separation and independence,
00:02:47.480 investment is going to flood out of Alberta. Well, folks, that's not what's happening.
00:02:51.520 Nearly 80% of Canada's past year job gains were in Alberta. Economic growth in Alberta is going
00:03:01.020 through the roof. People are investing in us, not because of Canada, but despite Canada and Ottawa,
00:03:07.880 because we are the best. The West is the best.
00:03:17.740 You know, you got these fools. I showed this video last week. These are people, prominent people 1.00
00:03:23.160 in Alberta talking about how investment is going to flee if we even talk about independence here. 1.00
00:03:29.520 these these people are absolute idiots and fools unless the courts stop her or unless she calls a 1.00
00:03:36.540 snap election and we win we will have a referendum on separation next summer that means nobody is 1.00
00:03:44.040 investing one dollar in Alberta if they don't know what country Alberta is going to be in
00:03:48.480 the very discussion of separation really puts a cooling effect on investment and on business in
00:03:54.820 this province there's nothing that could good that can come from this it will just create
00:03:58.800 the debate itself will create massive investor uncertainty calgary is a globally connected city
00:04:05.380 we compete for investment talents major employers and jobs with cities across north america and all
00:04:11.900 around the world and markets pay attention to political instability we've seen this before
00:04:17.120 during quebec separation fights major companies moved head offices and billions in investments
00:04:22.680 left the province because of the prolonged uncertainty. Those people keep spreading their
00:04:27.760 lies. They keep spreading their propaganda. People buy it. I've got this. I'm going to add something
00:04:32.860 else to this. I say these people are all the same. These people want the status quo. I don't want the
00:04:38.480 status quo. Jason Kenney at a debate recently says, all we have to do is work out a better deal for
00:04:43.320 Alberta. We've been trying to do that for decades. I need to add an offshoot to this. A little line
00:04:48.860 that comes out here and goes liberal voters because all of these people want the status quo 0.94
00:04:53.160 they want the mediocrity of ottawa ruling over us in perpetuity that's what these people want
00:04:58.860 and what are people in canada really concerned about folks what's the number one thing on the
00:05:04.800 on the other side's mind right now the people who support mark carney the 60 who give him support
00:05:11.320 what's the most important thing right now? It's this. BC woman's petition aimed to stop funding
00:05:19.140 home of the federal opposition leader. They hate Pierre Polyev so much. This is the most important
00:05:24.380 thing to get Polyev out of Stornoway, where the official opposition has been living since
00:05:30.340 the middle of the last century. From what I understand, there's this guy here, Pierre Polyev
00:05:35.360 always talking about respecting taxpayers. Great. Then let's stop using taxpayer money to maintain
00:05:40.820 19-room mansion for the leader of the opposition. This is the most important thing? This is
00:05:46.800 important? You know who's helping lead this? I think I highlighted it. Green Party leader
00:05:52.580 Elizabeth May is sponsoring the online petition. This is what's important to these people.
00:05:57.200 These people are fools. These people are, they're not serious people, folks. 1.00
00:06:02.880 What did I put down here? This is what you're worried about? Country in recession, people can't
00:06:08.100 afford food housing costs still through the roof no deal with our main trading partner and on and
00:06:13.040 on i ask again this is what you're worried about meanwhile they're concerned about poly of living
00:06:18.500 in a house where the official opposition has lived for more than 70 years and they turn a blind eye
00:06:24.860 to like this canadians were billed 195 000 for in-flight catering by the prime minister for
00:06:32.100 three trips. Scottish salmon filet, sautéed beef with world-famous creamy sauce, and for dessert,
00:06:39.960 luxury Normandy buttercups. Every dollar this prime minister spent on his elite palate was
00:06:46.500 first taken from a hard-working Canadian. And this is just spending for him and his entourage.
00:06:53.500 He's spending the country into oblivion with deficits and debt right now, and he calls it
00:06:58.120 investing. I'll bring it up again. I remember when the liberals made a big deal of a $16
00:07:02.960 glass of orange juice. When are you going to wake up?
