Summary

The cynic in me is out in a big way right now, and I think that Mark Carney has a decision to make. It's a big decision. The decision is between two things. To benefit you, the taxpayer, the person that is most important because he serves you, or to serve himself. And I don't think he's going to make the right decision.

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Tuesday, January the 6th, 6.17am with the
00:00:08.840 Big Blue Mug of Coffee. And I'm getting a late start today. I understand that. But I
00:00:12.920 almost didn't do a video today. And I'm going to keep this one short. I want to be
00:00:17.280 positive John today. I don't want to be a negative person. But there's something I want to talk
00:00:22.700 about. And it's something I've been thinking about over the last 24 hours or so. The cynic
00:00:29.620 in me is out in a big way right now. And I think that Mark Carney has a decision to make.
00:00:35.820 It's a big decision. Now the decision is between two things. To benefit you, the taxpayer, the
00:00:44.040 person that is most important because he serves you, or to serve himself. And I don't think
00:00:50.460 he's going to make the right decision. So what am I talking about? Talking about this. So
00:00:54.500 here's Daniel Smith right on point with what Daniel Smith normally says. But here's the
00:00:58.660 thing. What Daniel Smith is saying here is now coming from unlikely sources. And that's
00:01:04.260 why Carney has a decision to make. And this is all in the aftermath of what has happened
00:01:10.200 with the United States and Venezuela. Here's Daniel Smith's post on X. Recent events surrounding
00:01:16.400 Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro emphasize the importance that we expedite the development
00:01:21.420 of pipelines to diversify our oil export markets, including a new indigenous co-owned bitumen
00:01:27.700 pipeline to BC's Northwest coast to reach Asian markets. And she links to an article that I had
00:01:33.960 in a video yesterday. In a national emergency, Canada does not have a moment to lose. The Globe
00:01:40.440 and Mail. This is an unlikely source to suggest we need a pipeline because the Globe and Mail generally
00:01:46.920 pushes climate change. Who else does that? Here's the article in the Globe and Mail behind
00:01:54.860 a paywall. There it is right there. Adam Pankratz in the National Post. Similar story. This is
00:02:00.200 everywhere right now, which makes me think that the climate change narrative is starting to die,
00:02:07.220 which is a good thing. But Adam Pankratz, Venezuelan oil could put Canada out of business. If sabotage
00:02:13.260 of the energy industry doesn't end now, we face impoverishment. There is now a new urgency to
00:02:19.000 Canadian pipeline construction that didn't exist prior to the weekend. Another article, Globe and
00:02:28.080 Mail. Canada needs new pipeline urgently to counter Venezuelan oil surge, Strathcona chair says. So
00:02:35.980 you're hearing a lot of this right now. And the decision Mark Carney has to make is
00:02:41.260 build a pipeline for you to benefit you, to benefit Canada, to benefit the economy,
00:02:48.920 to ensure that we have a future when it comes to oil and gas in this country, or
00:02:55.720 to continue to benefit him and his climate cult, and to continue to push us down the road to green
00:03:03.040 energy, which he believes is best for you, but also it will benefit him more.
00:03:12.220 This is where the cynic comes out in me. What's the cynic? Somebody who believes people do things in
00:03:17.240 their own self-interest and not the honorable thing. The honorable thing would be to say,
00:03:24.720 I've been wrong. We need to build a pipeline. It's going through now, come hell or high water.
00:03:29.200 But I don't think he's going to make the right decision on this one. Now, there's something else
00:03:34.500 that's got me feeling a little cynical this morning. I'm not surprised by this at all. This
00:03:38.320 has popped up over the last, it's 12 hours. It's got people on the right losing their minds.
00:03:46.880 Liberals pulling out all the stops to lure MPs, BC Conservative says. Vernon Lake Country,
00:03:51.660 Monashie MP Scott Anderson says, it'll be a cold day in hell before he listens to offers. Well,
00:03:56.600 good for you, MP Anderson. I appreciate that. Now, what are the people on the right upset about? Well,
00:04:04.800 there are gifts being offered, perhaps to cross the aisle, to give the liberals a majority,
00:04:10.640 which is likely illegal, definitely unethical. But the cynic in me says, these people cross the aisle
00:04:17.860 because they're not doing it because it's honorable, but because it's in their own self-interest.
00:04:22.240 Why did D'Otremont and Mar cross the aisle? We don't know right now, but there might be something
00:04:27.240 coming down the line. This happens all the time. And they get away with it. Just the cynic in me.
00:04:36.020 What do you think? But I think Mark Carney has a decision to make, but I don't think he's going
00:04:41.540 to make the right decision. He's a liberal after all. Let me know what you think. If you like the video,
