00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 407 a.m. It is Saturday, April the 5th. I'm not kidding.
00:00:07.020 It's 407 a.m. And welcome to the weekend. I hope you're having a great day today. I'm looking
00:00:14.180 forward to it. We're expecting some nicer weather here in Calgary. And just a heads up, I'm getting
00:00:19.440 close to 25,000 subscribers. If you click right there, maybe we'll get there by the end of the
00:00:25.280 weekend. So I noticed something. Maybe you noticed this as well. I don't know whether
00:00:29.180 other presenters on YouTube noticed this. I don't get to see everybody. But I watched a few of them
00:00:33.980 last night. And I don't think they caught the subtle shift by Mark Carney in his campaign last
00:00:38.680 night. At least that's the way I feel things went yesterday. His campaign has been about fear. I did
00:00:44.760 a video on this the other day. Fear of Donald Trump and tariffs. And people buy it. This is why they're
00:00:50.320 voting for the Liberal Party after 10 years of dysfunction. I was going to call this video,
00:00:55.100 and I still might. I haven't made up my mind yet. Carney Canadians manipulated morons. Okay. 1.00
00:01:00.680 Because they're easily manipulated. They're easily led. They're a very liberal. They have a very
00:01:06.200 liberal mindset. And I think a lot of Canadians do. They think emotionally and not logically like you
00:01:10.480 because you're a conservative. But the messaging has changed. A couple of things happened yesterday.
00:01:16.280 I'll get to the most significant one in a moment. But I really noticed it when I heard him say this
00:01:22.100 yesterday. We believe in international cooperation. We believe in the free and open exchange of good
00:01:28.920 services and ideas. And if the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will.
00:01:36.640 The subtle shift in just a moment. But he says if the United States no longer wants to lead,
00:01:42.900 Canada will. What are we going to lead in? This plays out great with the morons. Here's Dean Blundell.
00:01:48.540 Mark Carney just declared the end of America's global leadership. What? Can you do that?
00:01:55.660 What are we going to lead on? Lead our way to the bottom when it comes to GDP? Lead our way to worse
00:02:01.200 health care year after year and it costs more and more and more? Lead our way to low income? We're doing
00:02:05.840 those things right now. No, lead our way to Europe. That's who he wants to trade with.
00:02:09.740 We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere. And we will need to do things previously
00:02:15.520 thought impossible at speeds we haven't seen in generations. But he also says in there,
00:02:21.120 we believe in global trade. Speaking on behalf of Canadians. He speaks for you now. I used to hate
00:02:27.320 when Jack Layton did that. Canadians believe. Canada believes. Canadians want. He never asked me. I
00:02:32.660 didn't believe in anything Jack Layton believed in. But he wants to be, and this is the subtle shift,
00:02:38.700 a defender of Canadiana now. That was the first little bit, but you know what's coming now because
00:02:44.700 yesterday he really leaned in on this one. And he brought up one of Pierre Polyev's biggest targets
00:02:52.540 and he wants to keep funding it using your money.
00:02:55.300 His attack on CBC is an attack directly on Radio Canada. And it is an attack on our Canadian
00:03:03.200 identity. If elected, my government will take action to enshrine and protect and strengthen
00:03:10.800 CBC Radio Canada for generations to come. We will not only increase CBC Radio Canada's funding by
00:03:18.840 $150 million. But we will also make this funding statutory, meaning that Parliament as a whole will
00:03:26.020 need to approve any future changes to its funding, not just the Cabinet. An attack on the CBC is an
00:03:33.920 attack on the Canadian identity. So now Mark Carney has shifted a little bit. He's now the defender of
00:03:40.440 Canadiana. Not only that, he's going to do it with your money. More of your money. $1.4 billion right now
00:03:47.300 to the CBC. Another $150 million. So about another 10%. There's going to be more of that
00:03:52.300 down the road. And not only that, they're going to make this statutory, meaning when the liberals
00:03:56.720 get in, if they get a majority, this will be one of the first things they'll pass. You'll never get
00:04:00.660 rid of the CBC if they get back in again. And it's one of the things Polyev's been running on. When I was
00:04:05.420 at Spruce Meadows a couple of years back when he was running for the leadership, one of the biggest
00:04:10.560 cheers he got was they're going to defund the CBC. And this is a bribe. You know, during an election
00:04:18.280 campaign promising more money to the propaganda wing of the Liberal Party, this is a bribe. And
00:04:23.460 if he's doing this with the CBC, he's going to do this with the rest of the media as well, who are
00:04:27.000 bought and paid for by the Liberal Party of Canada. We can't have this. I don't like the CBC. Do they
00:04:32.760 define your identity as a Canadian? The argument has always been for the CBC is that we need the CBC
00:04:38.840 because there are communities in the country that don't get regular service when it comes
00:04:44.080 to media. So we have to beam a signal in them to them through the radio or on TV so they can
00:04:49.680 get a Canadian message and get the news. Is that the case anymore? And should it be my responsibility
00:04:55.760 to pay for media somewhere way up in the north for a few hundred or thousand people? No, I don't
00:05:02.520 want to pay that money for it. And we have these things right here now where most people get
00:05:06.280 their messages and their information. I'm on the internet here. I don't even have cable. Yeah,
00:05:11.180 I use the CBC as a source sometimes. I pay for it. Why the hell not? But when it's gone,
00:05:16.240 I won't miss it at all. I was thinking of a quote I mentioned the other day. I'm a great believer in
00:05:21.540 quotes. I like quotes. Here's one from Thomas Jefferson. To compel a man to furnish funds for
00:05:26.540 the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Lorne Gunter did a great
00:05:33.360 video on this. I remembered this this morning when I was thinking about doing this video and this is
00:05:37.760 about a year ago and this is what he had to say about the CBC. I think the CBC needs to be defunded.
00:05:44.600 It's arrogant. It's out of touch. It's left wing. And yet all of us have to kick in money every time
00:05:52.680 we pay our taxes to fund the $1.4 billion annual subsidy that the CBC gets from Ottawa. $1.4 billion
00:06:03.780 a year to fund the CBC to tell us, particularly those of us who lean conservative, that we're wrong
00:06:13.140 about everything, that we're ignorant, that we're racist, that we're homophobic, that we aren't worthy
00:06:22.220 of being Canadian. Gunter is absolutely right. But if you tell people you think the CBC is biased
00:06:28.620 and it doesn't speak for conservatives, they tell you you're a conspiracy theorist.
00:06:34.620 And they'll also tell you that all of the media in the country is right wing, yet it leans left
00:06:39.640 because it's all paid for, bought and paid for by the Liberal Party. Look at their numbers. And
00:06:43.780 Carney wants to spend more money on this. Here are some numbers on ratings. According to its latest
00:06:49.500 third quarter report, the network holds just a 2.1% share of national primetime viewers, meaning 97.9%
00:06:56.720 of Canadians choose not to watch CBC's English language primetime news programming. Despite this,
00:07:02.220 the CBC described its performance as a success, claiming it continues to track above its target of 1.7%.
00:07:08.840 In 2018, the network held a 7.6% share of the national primetime viewing audience, marking a 72% drop in just
00:07:17.140 six years. Since 2015, with all of this failure, again, Carney wants to fund this and make it statutory
00:07:25.460 funding. They have given out $229 million in bonuses for failure. He is going to become Captain
00:07:33.360 Canadiana sticking up for all things Canadian before the election on the 28th. Again, he can't ride Donald
00:07:39.360 Trump all the way there because Trump is being rather quiet right now. What could that mean? I don't know.
00:07:45.820 Beaver tails for everybody? A free pair of ice hockey skates when you're born? I don't know. But how about things
00:07:51.700 like rolling out tax breaks for all Canadian businesses? It would be the stupidest thing ever because you want to
00:07:57.660 encourage business to come here and you can't have that kind of a tax system. But floating that out in
00:08:03.320 election for a liberal, I can imagine that happening. Interest-free loans if you want to open a business,
00:08:08.780 if you're a Canadian only. I don't know. But expect more of this kind of stuff before the election.
00:08:15.940 He can promise anything and people will believe it. And he's sticking up for Canada, right? Mr. Canadiana.
