John Bolton - Carney signed away the carbon tax... what so many people are getting wrong

00:00:00.000 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 1.00

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 Opportunity lost. Thanks so much for watching. If you liked the video, give me a thumbs up. Subscribe to
