00:00:00.000 Yesterday, Mark Carney stood in a grocery store, a place he probably hasn't visited in years, and said this.
00:00:06.860 So today we're announcing that our government is launching the new Canada's Groceries and Essentials benefit.
00:00:15.560 This will deliver hundreds of dollars more into the bank accounts of more than 12 million Canadians.
00:00:23.700 Carney and his Liberal government talk about this like it's some kind of great victory.
00:00:27.840 but actually it's Canada's biggest failure and it's a disgrace.
00:00:36.880 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 451 a.m. Saturday, June the 6th. I hope you're having a
00:00:42.420 great start your Saturday and weekend as well with the big blue mug of coffee. I appreciate
00:00:47.180 you being here. And yesterday when I heard the announcement that Mark Carney made yesterday,
00:00:52.680 I showed a short clip of it there. I thought, you know, I'm going to run to the camera because I
00:00:58.320 have some thoughts on this. In fact, I did a video on this when they announced this program. I think
00:01:02.500 it was late last year, but I'm coming around to it again. There's that saying, I believe it was
00:01:08.340 Thomas Jefferson who said, when angry count 10, when very angry count 100. I was very angry
00:01:14.760 yesterday when I heard Carney say that when Francois-Philippe Champagne put out a slick
00:01:20.180 little video about this disgraceful thing that they did yesterday. And it's a disgrace.
00:01:27.500 Subsidizing food for Canadians. Huge failure. Managed decline. Carney went on for six minutes
00:01:34.680 prior to what you saw off the top of this video on how things are so tough for Canadians right now.
00:01:40.360 I think he blamed a bit of it on Donald Trump. And when Canadians are in trouble, we step up and we
00:01:46.060 help out other Canadians. So you've right now got a number of Canadians in Canada subsidizing other
00:01:51.360 Canadians to buy food. And they're celebrating this like it's some kind of huge victory.
00:02:00.200 This is disgraceful when the government has to subsidize food because people can't feed
00:02:08.500 themselves in this country anymore. I'm going to go to another quote by Reagan. God, I love
00:02:13.680 Ronald Reagan, the great communicator, Reagan said this, we should measure welfare success
00:02:20.560 by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added. Let's look at Reagan's quote
00:02:28.240 in context of Canada of today, in liberal Canada today. We should measure Canada's success by how
00:02:35.400 many people leave food poverty, not by how many are added. Now, are the liberals saying that more
00:02:41.940 people in food poverty are a success? No, but they're celebrating the fact that people have
00:02:46.940 to be fed by the government now, and it's almost worse. And it probably is. This is disgraceful.
00:02:54.640 An absolute disgrace. Here's Francois Philippe Champagne in a grocery store, a place he doesn't
00:03:00.840 visit very often. I'm sure he has somebody to do that for him, walking around talking about this
00:03:05.660 great success of having to subsidize food for Canadians who can't afford to eat.
00:03:10.920 12 million Canadians will be receiving the Canada Grocery and Essential Benefit.
00:03:15.000 This is a key affordability measure.
00:03:16.920 We've heard from many Canadians that obviously affordability is top of mind.
00:03:20.540 And while Canadians can't afford to eat and have to get subsidized to put food in their mouths, you get this.
00:03:29.280 Canadians were billed $195,000 for in-flight catering by the Prime Minister for three trips.
00:03:36.080 Scottish salmon filet, sautéed beef with world-famous creamy sauce,
00:03:41.760 and for dessert, luxury Normandy buttercups.
00:03:46.180 Every dollar this Prime Minister spends on his elite palate
00:03:49.440 was first taken from a hard-working Canadian.
00:03:53.400 This Prime Minister means more costs, more taxes, more debt,
00:03:56.680 and more on the national credit card.
00:03:58.600 Well, he cut out his fine dining and reining his inflationary spending
00:04:03.000 so Canadians can afford to eat.
00:04:04.900 Let me ask you this.
00:04:05.880 are you proud of voting for this failure? You should look in the mirror and be ashamed of
00:04:11.320 yourself. You know, I saw this tweet this morning as well. Don't go on X very much,
00:04:15.460 but usually it's bad news and it makes me mad. Mark Carney reposted this, as you can see,
00:04:21.160 from TSN. Canadian pride on full display ahead of FIFA World Cup as the world's largest flag
00:04:26.560 stretches across Grouse Mountain, measuring 160 by 80 meters. So you got this Canadian flag. By
00:04:32.720 the way, I looked on Amazon, a three by six flag is 30 bucks. What is this costing Canadian
00:04:37.420 taxpayers for them to throw the Canadian flag in the dirt, which is disrespectful? Listen,
00:04:42.880 not a big fan of the Canadian flag. I have the Alberta flag on the wall, but this is disrespectful.
00:04:49.040 And what's going to happen to this flag? Be mothballed at the cost of a million dollars for
00:04:53.400 this one propaganda piece? I actually responded to this. I don't respond a lot on X. Bread and
00:04:59.420 circuses sorry bread lines and circuses carnies canada this is the reality folks
00:05:07.060 well people can't afford food we're having we're playing games grown men playing children's games
00:05:13.820 paying a billion dollars for it there's a story from cbc projected cost of hosting the seven fifa
00:05:21.820 world cup games in vancouver grows to around 700 million i think they're having games in
00:05:26.280 Toronto, don't care. Over a billion dollars now. Updated numbers say net cost to BC taxpayers for
00:05:32.740 the tournament will be between $90 million and $114 million while people can't afford food.
00:05:39.720 National Post story, World Cup cost overruns outrageous while tourists are repelled. The
00:05:45.260 associated costs have already climbed to a staggering $1 billion while people can't afford
00:05:50.320 food. Meanwhile, Carney and his Liberals numbers keep going up and people can't afford food. And
00:05:57.580 then there's this story, the Canadian electorate may be even more tuned out than you think.
00:06:02.200 You think? And then this story, Professor says Carney lying about Canada's economy.
00:06:08.460 Well, yesterday we found out that the deficit is just going to be another $4 billion more than
00:06:13.240 they projected and it's in the $65 billion range, but who the hell cares? People can't afford to
00:06:19.060 eat in Canada and have to get subsidized to put food in their mouths by you and the Canadian
00:06:24.020 taxpayers. This isn't something to celebrate. This is Canada's disgrace and biggest failure.
