Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 557 a.m. on Sunday, March 16th with the big blue mug of
00:00:05.600
coffee. Hope you're having a great day today. And hold tight, folks, because today I am going to
00:00:11.240
take on a couple of bigwigs in Canadian media who are getting it wrong. Yes, little old me with 13
00:00:17.420
to 14,000 subscribers on this YouTube channel. I'm getting it right and they're getting it all wrong
00:00:23.460
along with thousands of other people on social media who call themselves conservatives who are
00:00:28.880
getting it all wrong. And it's in relation to a video I did yesterday. Yesterday, my video was
00:00:36.100
called Mr. Polyev, you got the win. Carney is taking the victory lap. So that video goes out
00:00:41.460
and within an hour or so, I am absolutely infuriated because the Liberal Party tweeted out this.
00:00:49.220
That really bothered me when I saw it. I mean, the gall of the Liberal Party to put that out
00:00:59.680
after punishing us with the carbon tax for six to seven years. Now, my video, I'm going to get to
00:01:04.960
my media types in just a moment here. My video yesterday was basically, the Liberals are only
00:01:10.060
doing this because Pierre Polyev has been like a dog on a bone for two years to axe the tax,
00:01:15.100
and he's not taking credit for it. And what do we get from the media and thousands of people online?
00:01:20.720
This isn't actually official. Let's go over to Brian Lilly here, who should know better.
00:01:25.060
Now, he's mostly right in what he puts here, responding to the Liberal Party saying,
00:01:29.140
we canceled the carbon tax. This is the Liberal Party. They've been telling us for years that if
00:01:33.920
you oppose the carbon tax, you hate the planet. Now they're bragging about canceling it,
00:01:38.020
which they haven't actually done. Variation on a theme from Ezra Levant at Rebel News,
00:01:42.560
you just signed a piece of paper. That's not an executive order. In Canada, I know you've been
00:01:48.320
away for a long time, prime ministers don't sign executive orders like presidents do.
00:01:53.040
You just made that up because it looks Trumpy, and our low IQ regime media bought it. Well, yeah,
00:01:58.360
the low IQ regime media bought it, and you know who else bought it, Mr. Levant? Millions of Canadians
00:02:03.820
who don't follow politics like you and I do. We know what's going on here. They don't.
00:02:08.560
All they care about is the fact that Mark Carney signed off the other day, and it was all theater,
00:02:16.820
and was it ever freaking brilliant? All they care about is that on April 1st, they're going to get
00:02:23.540
20 cents a liter off their gas, and it's the Liberal Party and Mark Carney, our new prime minister,
00:02:28.320
that did it. That's all they care about. And you're concerned about this not going through parliament?
00:02:32.740
Is the carbon tax really gone? No. Will the price go down on gas on April 1st? Yes, and you know damn
00:02:41.200
well that a week before April 1st, everybody's going to be saying, don't fill up yet because Mark Carney
00:02:46.940
got rid of the carbon tax, and you're going to save 10 bucks on a tank of gasoline because of the
00:02:51.980
Liberal Party. We've got an election to win here, folks. And you're missing the point. It's the narrative
00:02:58.260
that's important here. The narrative, not the truth. I mean, is the carbon tax going to go down
00:03:05.720
on April 1st? Am I wrong here? It is going to go down on April 1st. Everybody's saying it is,
00:03:10.980
unless I'm totally wrong here. Here, CBC. Carney kills consumer carbon tax in first move as prime
00:03:18.300
minister. After being sworn in on Friday, Carney signed a prime ministerial directive instructing
00:03:24.280
that the fuel charge be removed April 1st, and that April's carbon rebates go ahead as planned.
00:03:30.000
Yes. 20 cents a liter April 1st, 20 cents a liter less. It's the economy, stupid. That's what people
00:03:38.100
care about. We've got an election to win. Not only that, they're going to send out a check.
00:03:44.740
And what do we get from Pierre Polyev yesterday? Instead of taking the win, he's looking like a
00:03:49.120
damn fool, waving around a piece of paper. Whether I think that Mark Carney will abolish
00:03:55.020
the carbon tax, well, the truth is he can't do that without recalling parliament. This is the
00:04:01.420
carbon tax law. It's in place today. Until parliament is recalled, this carbon tax law will be the law of
00:04:09.320
the land. So he looks like Neville Chamberlain, waving around a useless piece of paper. It means
00:04:16.920
nothing. I'm going to level with you here, folks. Mark Carney, thank you so much for getting rid of
00:04:25.360
the carbon tax on April 1st. That makes me happy. I'm going to save 20 cents a liter on gasoline as of
00:04:31.960
April 1st because of you. Thank you so much. You know who else is happy? Millions of Canadians who don't
00:04:37.420
know that what he did the other day was absolute BS. All they care about is that they're going to save
00:04:43.280
20 cents a liter as of April 1st and they're thanking Mark Carney and the Liberal Party and
00:04:48.120
they're going to vote for him because of it. We're missing the big picture here, folks. We've got an
00:04:53.020
election to win. You need to take the wins when you're offered them, Mr. Polyev, and you blew it.
00:04:59.520
