00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Great to have you along. 359 a.m. Saturday,
00:00:08.080 October the 10th. I hope you're having a fantastic weekend, a great Saturday. I hope you're not
00:00:13.560 getting snow. We're expecting some in Calgary today. Shouldn't hang around, but snow. This
00:00:19.180 is what you get when you live in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, which I would never
00:00:22.700 give up for anything, but I don't like snow. I hope you're having a good day today. I hate
00:00:27.040 to do this to you. I really do. I hate to do this to you. But if somebody isn't pointing out what
00:00:32.760 the hell is going on here in a more simplistic way, which I try to do here, I don't want to get
00:00:37.580 too complex because that kind of, I used to have a teacher that would put on the blackboard when
00:00:42.700 they used to have blackboards. I think most schools now have screens and stuff. We used to
00:00:46.640 have a blackboard. He used to put the letters BSBB on the screen. Anybody know what that means?
00:00:51.420 It means bullshit baffles brains. Okay. So let's keep this simplistic today. At times on this 1.00
00:00:57.020 channel, I have discussed the managed decline of Canada. In fact, I checked, I did this video right
00:01:03.860 here on August 25th, 2025. I believe I talked about it prior to that. Here's another one I did
00:01:09.860 about five or six months ago talking about managed decline of Canada. And this is what's going on in
00:01:15.440 the country right now. Okay. It is a managed decline. It's sort of, it happens slowly and
00:01:20.980 then all at once it hits you. Okay. And the reason I'm talking about this today is because this kind
00:01:26.160 the stuff hits you right in the face when you see articles like this in the National Post.
00:01:31.380 Seven Canadian provinces trail behind most U.S. states on economic performance, according to a
00:01:36.660 study from the Fraser Institute. I'll read a bit of this to you, not a lot. This video is not going
00:01:41.760 to be very long. A new study comparing economic performance in all of the Canadian provinces and
00:01:46.740 U.S. states has found that of the 60 jurisdictions, seven of the 10 lowest ranking are in Canada.
00:01:52.560 The research by the Fraser Institute looked at living standards, incomes, private sector employment, and labor productivity to compare the economic growth of the two countries.
00:02:01.920 It found that in every category, Canadians have fallen further behind Americans.
00:02:07.340 In 2024, the most recent year of comparable data, seven of the ten lowest rates of gross domestic product GDP per person were Canadian provinces.
00:02:16.760 New Brunswick ranked lowest, followed by Prince Edward Island at 59, Nova Scotia, 58, Manitoba,
00:02:22.360 56, Quebec, 55, Newfoundland, Labrador, 52, and Ontario, 51. BC was 49th, while Saskatchewan was
00:02:30.360 35th. And Alberta, the only province in the top half, ranked 25th. You know what I find fascinating
00:02:35.220 about Alberta always rising to the top? And we'll see this again with something else. And another
00:02:39.740 statistic in just a moment, the people who say the, are saying the independence movement will
00:02:44.940 hurt Alberta. People will not want to come here. It will hurt investment. It's been the opposite,
00:02:50.100 ladies and gentlemen. We're always at the top. Now, we could have our roads paved in gold
00:02:55.680 if it weren't for Canada. Alberta is doing really good despite Canada. Can you imagine what we do
00:03:02.100 if we could get Canada out of the way? Let's move on. I digress. For comparison, in 1999,
00:03:07.480 six Canadian provinces ranked among the bottom 10 in terms of GDP per person, while Alberta,
00:03:13.780 which has remained Canada's top-ranked province, was seventh highest. Isn't that fascinating?
00:03:19.580 Now, about a week ago, I put up a video by Victor Davis Hanson. I just wanted people to see how an
00:03:25.200 American really understood what was going on here in Canada. 250,000 people have watched that video.
00:03:31.260 I'm stunned. I imagine a bunch of people with their elbows up were looking and their jaws dropped out
00:03:36.480 when they realized what was really going on in Canada, the managed decline. And here's a short
00:03:42.540 little clip from that video, Victor Davis Hanson.
00:03:45.520 If Canada was a state right now, its GDP would be below Mississippi. It'd be 51%. Its per capita
00:03:54.660 income is $30,000 plus less than ours. Its per family per capita income is even lower.
00:04:04.140 Out of all the major industrial nations, everyone, last year they had the lowest rate of economic
00:04:09.280 growth and per family median income. Canada did. I mean, here's an American that understands what's
00:04:17.240 going on. Here's a graph that accompanied that story I just showed you. At the turn of the 21st
00:04:22.260 century, living standards were 10,766 higher in the U.S. than in Canada. By 2024, that gap had
00:04:29.120 more than doubled to 23,757. The Americans are up here. And this is in Canadian dollars, ladies and 0.77
00:04:34.820 gentlemen. Now, what were some of the comments or reaction to this article that we were just
00:04:40.420 talking about a moment ago? This one right here. Here's a typical one from the average mediocre
00:04:45.080 Canadian. They're now making excuses for us falling behind because, well, we'll get to that 0.99
00:04:49.760 in just a moment. Here's Lisa, why anyone is even looking into Canadian provinces like we were
00:04:55.200 associated with the USA disturbs me. Now, she goes on to say that we're different countries,
00:04:59.740 But now they're starting to make excuses for Canada's managed decline.
00:05:04.920 That's the way it's going now.
00:05:06.300 And read the last line here.
00:05:07.680 However interesting, we will never, never be part of the USA.
00:05:11.440 We are Canadian.
00:05:12.340 Ladies and gentlemen, the managed decline has now been programmed into their brains,
00:05:18.380 imprinted on their frontal lobe, the result of a frontal lobotomy,
00:05:23.840 one catchphrase at a time by Mark Carney.
00:05:26.500 The world is more divided and dangerous.
00:05:29.840 As the world becomes more divided and dangerous.
00:05:32.260 The world's more divided and dangerous.
00:05:34.640 And thank you very much to Ryan Gerritsen for putting those clips together.
00:05:38.540 Follow Ryan wherever you can. He's doing great work. Here he is on X.
00:05:42.680 In a more dangerous and divided world, Carney is psyoping Canadians.
00:05:46.380 Here are 15 separate speeches of him using those words.
00:05:49.560 I only used a few of them for time.
00:05:51.960 He goes down to say there's probably more of these clips.
00:05:54.100 I call it Carney doing a frontal lobotomy on Canadians. I never thought of that before,
00:05:58.780 but that's what's going on. This kind of stuff is imprinted on their frontal lobe. Just keep
00:06:02.860 saying it over and over again, right? Just say it over and over again and people will believe
00:06:07.280 anything. Just like the famous propagandists from 33 to 45 in Germany. Remember those years.
00:06:13.580 And then remember what Catherine McKenna said. I actually gave them some real advice. I said that
00:06:18.660 if you actually say it louder, we've learned in the House of Commons, if you repeat it,
00:06:22.220 if you say it louder, if that is your talking point, people will totally believe it.
00:06:26.280 Oh, good old Catherine McKenna, liberal environment minister, right? Yeah, there she was,
00:06:31.160 drunk out of her gourd at a bar. There's a saying in Latin, which I like very much,
00:06:35.620 in vino veritas, which means there is truth in wine. Wouldn't you love to get Mark Carney drunk,
00:06:41.100 get him absolutely blind drunk and start asking him about his blind trust, Brookfield, and living
00:06:46.260 in a more dangerous and divided world? Oh my God, wouldn't that be great? Meanwhile, the Canadians
00:06:51.720 who have been lobotomized, who have been psyoped by Mark Carney, are starting to accept stuff like
00:06:56.560 this. Canada's job market takes a hit as 68,000 jobs disappear in September. Alberta is doing
00:07:01.880 better, by the way, just to let you know, despite the fact that we're going to be doing worse,
00:07:06.400 because we're simply talking about independence here in Alberta. But people are starting to
00:07:10.400 accept this as well, just like they accept, what is it, more than a quarter of the population not
00:07:15.440 being able to afford food. So today we're announcing that our government is launching
00:07:20.200 the new Canada's Groceries and Essentials benefit. This will deliver hundreds of dollars
00:07:27.460 more into the bank accounts of more than 12 million Canadians. I've played that clip before.
00:07:35.060 I'm sorry. I'll keep playing it until people get the message that this is not good. This is a
00:07:40.380 disgrace. The liberals see this as some kind of great victory. What percentage of the population
00:07:45.320 do you have to get to? Of people that can't eat, where they start to riot in the streets, 0.83
00:07:50.920 because Canada is fast approaching 33%. Isn't that something? And then you get something like this.
00:07:57.680 This was back in July. Oh my, whatever will I buy with my Canada groceries and essentials benefit?
00:08:03.200 I consider perhaps a radish for my husband and I to share. Managed decline, ladies and gentlemen,
00:08:09.360 that's where we are in this country right now. And it continues to go down.
00:08:14.220 Despite us building things faster than ever before, despite Mark Carney standing up in
00:08:19.960 the House of Commons along with his finance minister and everybody saying they're making
00:08:23.460 life more affordable for Canadians, that certainly isn't the case.
00:08:28.280 But the lobotomies on a lot of people in this country are complete.
00:08:31.940 By the way, we'll end it right there.
00:08:33.640 I do have something coming up I want to tell you about later this morning, at 10 o'clock
00:08:38.140 this morning, I will be, let me bring this up on my screen, I will be doing this with
00:08:42.200 Keith Wilson. We're going to have coffee together. Now he's going to be up in the Edmonton area. I'm
00:08:46.520 here in Calgary. We're going to sit down and talk. I want this to be about you. I want this to be
00:08:52.060 your questions. If I don't have to say anything for a couple of hours, we might do this.
00:08:56.380 I would prefer that. I do want to find out a little bit more about Keith today. I want to
00:09:00.740 ask Keith what his favorite rock band was when he was in high school, because we're about the same
00:09:04.440 age. So I want to find that out. You can ask him questions, but we're trying to open a discussion
00:09:08.660 up today at 10 o'clock. It is Thanksgiving weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to you. You're
00:09:14.280 going to be having discussions with people around the table. No doubt the referendum will come up.
00:09:18.960 How do you talk to people about that? How do you bring them over to our side? How do you get those
00:09:22.780 people sitting on the fence that are so important that are going to make the decision perhaps this
00:09:26.420 weekend or in the final week? And we're almost there, folks. They're going to make the decision
00:09:30.160 very soon. How do you talk to those people? How do you convince them? Alberta, independence and
00:09:34.840 voting for option two, which is not a vote for independence. We'll just make that clear.
00:09:39.760 Option two is not a vote for independence. It's to get to the point where we have independence.
00:09:44.100 It's to give us leverage. It will give us leverage. It's to send a message to Ottawa. How do you get
00:09:49.040 that conversation started? We'll do that with Keith this morning at 10 o'clock on a live stream. I
00:09:53.820 hope you'll join me on that along with Keith. Thanks very much for watching. If you like this
00:09:57.940 video, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications. I'll
00:10:01.800 see you in the next one. Vote option two.
