00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 424 AM, Friday, June the 5th.
00:00:08.240 I hope you're having a great start to your Friday.
00:00:10.380 Thank God, it's Friday, the weekend is almost here, and the big blue mug of coffee tasting
00:00:15.660 oh so sweet this morning.
00:00:17.060 Thank you for being here.
00:00:18.720 And you know, I was on the phone with my friend Wade this morning.
00:00:21.320 He goes to bed about the time I'm getting up, and I talked to him for about an hour from
00:00:25.440 2.30 to 3.30, and we were solving all the problems of the world in that hour, and I
00:00:29.880 was thinking around four o'clock this morning, you know, the world would be a better place if
00:00:33.680 we ran it. Don't you agree? It really would. I think we would be rather sensible about how
00:00:41.160 things work. We can call out the stupidity of what's going on in the world, particularly in 1.00
00:00:47.260 Ottawa, that little place that sits right on the border between Ontario and Quebec, which I've been 1.00
00:00:52.360 to many times before. And I thought, you know, I come in here daily and I talk about things and I
00:00:59.100 maybe do a video a day. This week, for the most part, a video a day. I try to keep them short if
00:01:04.780 I can, and this one will definitely be short. And I miss a lot of things. There's things I'd like to
00:01:08.820 talk about. So what I thought I'd do today is look back on the week that was in Canada and talk about
00:01:13.480 a few things that you may have heard about, others you may not have heard about, and I'll find out
00:01:18.080 what's been going on this week without a lot of commentary. Well, just look at the headlines and
00:01:22.000 you can come to your own conclusion because generally the headlines in the stories I'm
00:01:26.500 talking about today, they speak for themselves. So let's move to the first story. I'm going to
00:01:30.780 read a little bit here. This is from Trending Politics. This is a story that's broken within
00:01:34.140 the last 24 hours. Not really surprised by this, but here we go. Canada's parliamentary budget
00:01:39.660 officer released its latest economic and fiscal outlook today, projecting deeper deficits than
00:01:45.440 the government forecast and raising serious questions about the sustainability of Ottawa's
00:01:50.320 fiscal plan. Are you surprised by this? Of course you're not surprised. Article from the Toronto
00:01:55.140 Sun, Lori Goldstein. The parliamentary budget officer projects federal deficits will average
00:02:00.080 $4.6 billion higher annually than the Kearney government's April projections.
00:02:06.280 Here's the problem with these deficits that the government's running right now.
00:02:10.120 I think $60 billion or something like that, maybe a little higher. We've got to the point where
00:02:15.540 when you add $4.6 billion to the deficit, people don't even bat an eye anymore.
00:02:20.240 this is the recipe for failure we're talking 60 to 70 billion dollar deficits here where a few
00:02:27.360 years ago that would have been considered insane and it is insane moving on black locks
00:02:33.140 p.m silent in question period prime minister mark carney yesterday in his first question period
00:02:39.120 appearance in a week sat silently as conservative mps recited stories about jobless workers
00:02:44.900 Carney repeatedly wished opposition leader Pierre Polly have a happy 47th birthday in an attempt to be lighthearted.
00:02:52.040 Will the prime minister stop being so flippant about the suffering he has caused?
00:02:56.160 Well, no.
00:02:58.500 We're in a recession right now.
00:03:00.640 Carney has barely said a thing.
00:03:02.720 Moving on.
00:03:03.980 P.M. Carney appoints member of pro-Hamas group to fight anti-Semitism in Canada.
00:03:08.480 The group's leadership repeatedly expressed support for the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
00:03:16.460 Next article.
00:03:17.740 Carney tells Jews, when you come to Canada, leave behind your wars and your animosities.
00:03:26.620 This has all happened in this last week.
00:03:29.300 Then there's this.
00:03:31.460 Canada.
00:03:33.220 Child sex change advocate appointed head of the Canadian Pediatric Society.
00:03:38.480 Now, folks, I don't want to get too deep into this.
00:03:42.000 The video will get throttled on YouTube.
00:03:44.220 The rest of the world is giving up on this nonsense.
00:03:47.680 But Canada, still holding on tight, and here she is, Dr. Natasha Johnson.
00:03:54.720 Child sex change advocate, Dr. Natasha Johnson,
00:03:58.920 promoter of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones,
00:04:01.900 and early medical transitions for minors,
00:04:04.420 has been elected president of the Canadian Pediatric Society.
00:04:09.000 Moving on.
00:04:10.780 Canada needs a real reckoning for the mass graves hoax.
00:04:15.040 We do.
00:04:16.500 Fascinating that the Globe and Mail just within the last week has come out and said a similar thing.
00:04:22.060 A very left-wing publication, by the way.
00:04:25.440 This one from The Federalist.
00:04:27.860 Just a quick little reading here.
00:04:29.300 Five years after the Canadian Liberals incited a moral panic about mass graves of Indigenous schoolchildren,
00:04:35.540 almost no one will admit it happened. I have. Meanwhile, in Canada, this week,
00:04:42.140 black locks again. Vote to outlaw denialism. Senate Human Rights Committee last night voted
00:04:48.920 7-1 to criminalize Indian residential school denialism. Public statements intended to promote 0.93
00:04:54.360 hatred by downplaying the impacts of residential schools would be outlawed under threat of two
00:05:00.140 years in jail, quote, it can be involved denying, minimizing, or justifying the documented abuses,
00:05:07.360 deaths, force assimilation, and intergenerational harms. There's a saying in politics,
00:05:12.760 just because something is insane, don't think it won't be done. And I'm thinking,
00:05:17.480 how long am I going to end up in jail? Because just within the last week or so, I did this.
00:05:23.660 these are just a few of the things that have happened in ottawa this week
00:05:31.380 in canada this week don't you think the world would be a better place if we ran it
