00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 3.55 a.m. It is Sunday, April the 12th. I hope
00:00:08.760 you're having a great Sunday and a fantastic weekend as well. I do have the Big Blue Mug
00:00:13.880 of coffee with me, and I don't do this very often, but if you would please click on, not
00:00:19.680 the Big Blue Mug, but subscribe, I would appreciate it. You can help me get to 50,000 subscribers,
00:00:26.280 and make sure you're still subscribed
00:00:28.200 because some people get unsubscribed
00:00:30.360 for some strange reason.
00:00:32.800 So I have a question for you to start things off today.
00:00:35.560 Have you thought about leaving Canada?
00:00:38.420 There may be a number of reasons
00:00:39.920 why you would want to do this.
00:00:41.500 Can't afford a house,
00:00:42.640 can't find a job in your chosen field,
00:00:45.460 cost of living too high,
00:00:47.820 you don't like the government.
00:00:49.680 Have you thought about it?
00:00:50.760 Because I have.
00:00:51.880 I've had this discussion with my wife, Sheila.
00:00:53.960 and it's hard for us to do that because of her work but also it's very expensive and it's hard
00:01:00.160 to do and i fully expect to leave canada without leaving the seat i'm sitting at here in southeast
00:01:06.740 calgary with an independence vote and we're going to talk a little bit about that in just a moment
00:01:11.540 because there was something said at the liberal convention on the weekend that frightens me 0.99
00:01:17.320 it was said by a former conservative one of the treasonous floor crossers I'm going to get to 0.54
00:01:25.880 that in a moment but the reason I asked you about wanting to leave Canada or thinking about it is
00:01:32.820 because at these conventions the parties bring in people to provide advice and information
00:01:38.440 and very often they'll follow through on what these people say and I'm going to play a clip
00:01:43.320 for you in just a moment. Now, this person is going to talk about this. He mentions the TN,
00:01:49.560 which stands for Trade NAFTA. The TN program allows Canadian citizens to work temporarily
00:01:55.300 in the United States in specific professional fields under the USMCA agreement for up to three
00:02:02.180 year renewable terms. And what this man is talking about, his name is Patrick Pichette,
00:02:07.660 former senior executive at google who now lives in europe he is talking about locking people in
00:02:15.260 the country so they can't leave because they haven't got any opportunities here and nobody
00:02:21.320 at the liberal convention batted an eye 30 000 tn go to the u.s every year you want to save yourself
00:02:31.420 five to ten billion dollars shut the tn program and then keep them in or make them pay their half
00:02:38.780 a million so that if they leave i'm okay with that you want to go to the us give me back my money
00:02:43.520 this is the kind of thing that tyrannical governments do you know most people they
00:02:49.180 don't want to uproot their family they don't want to have to go somewhere else they'd rather stay put
00:02:54.680 but there may be those reasons why they have to go can't afford a home cost of living is too high
00:03:00.940 and you can't find a job. Why? Because the conditions in Canada are such that they can't
00:03:06.040 find any work here anymore. So they've got to go somewhere else because the liberals have made such
00:03:11.020 a mess of things. But instead of making things better, instead of giving opportunity to people,
00:03:16.680 they're going to lock you in. It's unbelievable. It's like Hotel California. You can check out
00:03:25.040 anytime you like, but you can never leave. And people are listening to this nut who lives in 0.63
00:03:30.260 Europe now, doesn't even live in Canada. Nobody's putting up their hands saying,
00:03:33.660 maybe that's not a good idea. In politics, just because something is insane, don't think it won't
00:03:40.540 be done. Thomas Sowell. And folks, in this, they're talking about the United States. There
00:03:46.180 is some Trump derangement syndrome in this as well. You dirty Canadian wanting to go to the 1.00
00:03:51.020 States. We're going to charge you half a million dollars if you want to leave. This is sort of 1.00
00:03:55.160 like what they want to do in California. People are fleeing the state because they can't afford
00:04:00.080 taxes going somewhere else businesses are leaving they want to pass a law so that if you leave you
00:04:06.080 still have to pay taxes in california it's the same thing this is crazy the country's fractured
00:04:14.820 you know carney talks about there's a fracture i think it's fracture he uses now when it comes
00:04:20.280 to relationships with the united states and our trading partner the united states but things are
00:04:25.320 fractured right now i mean did you hear what he said this is how he closed out
00:04:28.900 his convention. This is what he said. Carney tells liberals that unity does not mean uniformity
00:04:38.160 in closing convention speech. Do those words sound familiar in a way? They're different words,
00:04:43.580 but it's the same message with this liberal party. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
00:04:50.040 Diversity is Canada's strength. It's the same thing.
00:04:53.700 but for people who voted conservative in the last election we won't get fooled again a lot
00:05:03.000 of people with their elbows up did now why is he saying this why would he say something like that
00:05:09.220 I think he's trying to justify bringing somebody like Marilyn Gladue into his party
00:05:13.500 unity does not mean uniformity because people have been questioning Marilyn Gladue how can
00:05:19.660 you be part of the liberals you supported the convoy you were against covet restrictions you're
00:05:25.820 on opposite sides with their let me read this mmiwg2s lgbtqqia plus you don't like mark carney
00:05:35.940 but i think people should be asking the liberal party how can you invite somebody like marilyn
00:05:40.040 gladu into your party well she's a vote she gives us helps get us a majority there's probably people 1.00
00:05:46.260 in the Liberal Party who hate her guts. But this is how he's trying to justify bringing people like
00:05:51.980 the conservatives that have walked across the aisle until two minutes ago have been
00:05:56.000 criticizing his government. Unity doesn't mean uniformity. Well, meanwhile, we talk about leaving
00:06:04.360 the country. I want to leave the country. I said I want to do it by staying right here in my seat.
00:06:09.460 I want to do it peacefully. But I'm getting frightened now because Matt Jenneru, the treasonous
00:06:17.020 dog who used to be a conservative and is now a liberal, called people like me a threat at the
00:06:23.340 convention over the weekend. Albertans right now are very much in a place where there's a
00:06:31.140 conversation happening that's a I think a very serious threat to to our country and something
00:06:39.460 that I will stand against every single day that we are a united country and something like
00:06:45.000 Alberta separate doesn't have a scary scary idea but you may say those are just words the
00:06:51.320 independence movement is a serious threat those words cross the lips of Matt Jenneru
00:06:56.040 liberal at the Liberal Party convention. Let me ask you this. What's more of a threat?
00:07:02.120 A bunch of trucks sitting in downtown Ottawa for a couple of weeks or the leaders of the
00:07:08.260 independence movement and the people that stand beside them who want to remove Alberta from Canada
00:07:13.880 and take away power and a lot of money from the Liberal Party and the elites in eastern Canada.
00:07:21.640 What's more of a threat? Ask Tamera Leach what happened to her for trucks in downtown Ottawa. 1.00
00:07:27.020 I was talking to people at Jason Levine's event yesterday who are scared about what's coming.
00:07:33.120 They see bad things coming. They fear the government. What did Thomas Jefferson say about
00:07:39.860 this? When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government,
00:07:46.540 there is tyranny and people are fearful right now. You want to leave the country because you
00:07:51.380 haven't got any opportunities, they want to lock you in. If you want to leave the country because
00:07:56.700 you're tired of Canada and you want a better life for yourself, your children, and your
00:08:00.860 grandchildren, you're a serious threat. You know, the difference is, you know, if they come for
00:08:07.080 people in the independence movement here, there's going to be a million people standing in the way
00:08:11.160 of letting that happen. Jefferson had another quote, and I'll leave you with this.
00:08:16.640 When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
00:08:24.000 Thank you very much for watching.
