Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 510 a.m. Friday, October the 31st. Happy Halloween.
00:00:09.400
Hope you're having a great Halloween. Sorry, I'm not dressed up too early in the morning for that.
00:00:13.780
But I'm looking forward to Halloween tonight. My mother-in-law will be here for dinner. She's
00:00:17.420
handing out a little bracelet she makes for Halloween to the kids as we hand out candy as
00:00:21.840
well. I do like Halloween very much. And by the way, if you hear any noise in the background,
00:00:26.340
I'm doing laundry this morning. I apologize for that. I tip my big blue mug of coffee to you.
00:00:31.000
Thanks for being here today. So I woke up this morning and I put two things together. I don't
00:00:36.400
think anybody else has done as of yet. It's two different people with different tactics, but
00:00:45.640
both of the tactics are in a race to get to rock bottom. And when I woke up this morning,
00:00:52.840
I was thinking about November the 4th. And you know, if you live in Canada, November 4th
00:00:58.000
is a big day here in Canada because November 4th is the day that Mark Carney rolls out with
00:01:03.620
his big budget. And people are wondering whether this will trigger an election, a vote of non-confidence
00:01:09.280
in the government, and this will trigger an election. So this is coming up on November 4th,
00:01:15.000
but there's something else coming up on November 4th as well. That's going to be very interesting
00:01:19.040
to see what happens. You're going to be watching two things, two train wrecks happening at the same
00:01:26.200
time on November 4th. Amazing how these things work out. What's the other thing? Okay. So coming up
00:01:34.540
on November 4th, the board of elections in the city of New York, there is an election. This is the day
00:01:40.900
that New York is likely to elect Zoran Mamdani as their new mayor. And these things, although they
00:01:51.080
may seem very far apart, I'm going to connect together here in just a moment with a conclusion.
00:01:55.900
This is not a long video. Trust me. I'm going to keep this one short, but these things are happening
00:02:01.140
at the same time. You can't write this stuff. So over here, we got Mark Carney. Okay. So he's writing
00:02:07.020
the book on how to bring Canada down to its knees. And then you got this guy right here. This is Zoran
00:02:13.220
Mamdani, both dressed up in their nice suits, looking oh so respectable, but they're leading
00:02:18.560
their respective places to the same place. I'll get to that in just a moment. So who is Zoran
00:02:24.040
Mamdani? You know who Mark Carney is. He's an eco-zealot net zero kook. This guy is an Islamist
00:02:30.380
communist. And I'm not making this up. He is an Islamist communist. And what does Zoran
00:02:36.780
Mamdani believe in? Well, they're different things than what Mark Carney believes in, but in a way
00:02:42.860
they are connected. So let's find out a little bit about Zoran Mamdani. Here he is on NBC.
00:02:48.540
Here's how the Washington Post editorial board wrote about your proposals. They say a massive minimum wage
00:02:55.640
would depress low skilled employment. His rent freeze would reduce the housing supply and decrease
00:03:01.660
its quality. Cutting bus fares would leave a transit funding hole that unless somehow filled
00:03:07.320
would erode service. Meanwhile, the grocery business operates on thin margins and his plan
00:03:12.640
for city run stores would probably lead to fewer options, poor service and shortages. Mr. Mamdani,
00:03:20.260
are your proposals going to hurt the very people you're trying to help?
00:03:23.240
Not at all. There have been many in editorial board who have had concerns. And what we've shown is
00:03:27.720
that more than 400,000 New Yorkers are excited about this vision. And the reason they're excited
00:03:32.160
about it is it is one that is in line with the scale of the crisis in this city. I mean,
00:03:36.520
we are talking about our tax base growing smaller and smaller each day with New Yorkers leaving to
00:03:41.660
New Jersey, to Pennsylvania, to Connecticut. If we do not meet this moment, we will lose this city.
00:03:46.740
So let's run through those things again. Now this is Zoran Mamdani, likely to be the next
00:03:51.980
New York mayor. And I'm going to come to a conclusion, a really interesting conclusion
00:03:56.060
in just a moment. So what does he want? He wants a rent freeze, free buses. He says they're going to
00:04:00.480
run on time as well. City owned grocery stores, universal healthcare is another one, $30 minimum
00:04:05.960
wage and higher taxes. Now his tactics are different from Mark Carney, the things that he's promising,
00:04:12.540
but the strategy is all the same. He promises a lot of free stuff and then he blames somebody for the
00:04:18.020
problem. And who does he blame for the problem? Well, it's the old socialist thing.
00:04:22.640
They always run to the same thing. They blame the billionaires because socialists run on the
00:04:27.400
politics of envy. The reason why you're not doing as well is because somebody is making a lot of
00:04:32.520
money. So they blame billionaires and Mamdani doesn't think billionaires deserve to exist. He said
00:04:37.320
that. I mean, Bernie Sanders was against billionaires at one time. He used to say,
00:04:42.940
it's the millionaires and the billionaires that are causing you the problem until he became a
00:04:47.600
millionaire. And that wasn't a problem anymore. The Democrats paid him off so that Hillary Clinton
00:04:52.700
could run for president, right? That's how it works. These people get rich. Mamdani will make a lot of
00:04:57.960
money off this while making the people who live in New York city poor because you can't give people
00:05:02.720
free stuff. Somebody has to pay for it. And all those billionaires, they'll just move away. But,
00:05:07.100
but what is he doing? He's blaming the billionaires. What does Mark Carney do? Well,
00:05:11.000
is it all the same stuff? No, but he's says he's going to have more spend. He's going to have more
00:05:16.140
investing, but it's actually spending. And there's going to be a lot of it in this upcoming
00:05:20.800
budget on November the 4th. He's giving you more government, a lot more government, major projects
00:05:26.700
office, government housing office, military spending office, which is called the defense
00:05:31.260
investment agency, a national school food program. And there's going to be more of this.
00:05:35.860
He's going to cut a few jobs from the public service, but he's creating more government in the
00:05:40.180
background. So you're going to get more of that. He's keeping our resources in the ground. Bill C69,
00:05:44.520
C48. He's got the industrial carbon tax, a clean fuel regulation. He believes in net zero. You're
00:05:49.420
going to get green energy to death, I believe on November 4th. And he's going to promise some free
00:05:56.100
stuff as well, because there are people out there who are hurting right now. And people like this woman
00:06:01.780
right here, God love her. I don't blame her. Every day is so stressful. Canadians struggling with
00:06:06.260
affordability, hoping for some help in the upcoming budget. This woman's finding it hard to live in
00:06:10.920
Toronto right now. So he's going to throw these people some bones and, and they're likely going
00:06:15.560
to bite on it because he can, he can bribe people with their own money. And it's the same thing that
00:06:20.140
mom, mom Donnie is doing rent freeze, free buses, all this stuff. It's the same type of tactic,
00:06:26.720
although they're different things, but who does Mark Carney blame for everything? With mom Donnie,
00:06:31.960
it's the billionaires with Mark Carney, it's going to be Donald Trump. But what's happening with both
00:06:37.840
of these things? What is, what has to happen in New York city and Canada for things to actually get
00:06:44.140
better? You have to hit rock bottom and New York city's on its way to the bottom and Canada's
00:06:51.000
following right behind. Now, the question is here in Canada, are you going to do that with a minority
00:06:56.160
liberal government? If the NDP support this budget on November 4th, are you going to do it with a
00:07:01.120
majority liberal government? And it takes five years for everybody finally to get to rock bottom
00:07:06.060
and have to live with it for a while. I think you can hit rock bottom in Canada with a minority
00:07:10.020
government. So hopefully that happens because folks, Pierre Polyev is out there right now
00:07:14.760
and he is out campaigning again. I mean, this is just from yesterday. This is a campaign stump speech
00:07:22.380
right here. I want to thank all of you for being here. All these young people, we know that you all must
00:07:27.880
be young because you're here listening to a speech about economics from a middle-aged or an aging
00:07:34.960
politician rather than rather than spending your evening trying to get approved for a $900,000
00:07:42.100
mortgage on a 400 square foot apartment. Maybe you're here today for the free snacks. Do we have
00:07:49.680
some free snacks? Yeah. I don't blame you. I mean, we're in a time when a good meal is considered
00:07:57.700
to be a juice box and a granola bar after liberals doubled the cost of food and doubled the, in fact,
00:08:05.720
what they did is they doubled the debt, the debt that you're going to have to inherit as the youth.
00:08:12.160
Polyev is in full campaign mode here. You know, I think I got an email. It was either yesterday or the
00:08:17.820
day before yesterday, the conservative sent me an email asking for money. They're always asking for
00:08:22.060
money, but in this email, they said they think an election is coming. Polyev is here standing in
00:08:26.140
front of young people because he knows the liberals need young people. Young people are suffering in
00:08:31.200
this country. If the liberals throw young people a bone in this budget, I don't know, a break on their
00:08:38.000
repaying of college or university loans or something like that, you have to know that the liberals think
00:08:44.260
an election is coming up and Polyev better watch out. He better watch out what he wishes for because
00:08:49.880
if he gets it, he could be terribly disappointed before Christmas. If he loses the next election,
00:08:54.720
he's gone by the end of January when his leadership review comes up. And I think this stump speech is
00:09:00.320
sounding a little bit stale. I'll put a link in the description. You can watch the whole thing. He
00:09:05.320
needs to change his tactics just a little bit, but we haven't hit rock bottom yet. And we just need a
00:09:10.720
little bit more time in this country. And that's what pure Polyev needs as well. Even if we have
00:09:16.100
to deal with the liberals for a little bit more. Polyev better be hoping those seven NDP MPs vote
00:09:22.220
in favor of this budget or there will be an election before Christmas and he'll be gone before the end
00:09:27.400
of January. So just like Zoran Mondami in New York City, they have to hit rock bottom before they can
00:09:33.160
turn things around. So goes Canada as well. Tell me what you think in the comments. If you like the video,
