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
00:00:18.720
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?
00:03:03.980
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.
00:03:17.740
Carney tells Jews, when you come to Canada, leave behind your wars and your animosities.
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.
00:03:44.220
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,
00:04:04.420
has been elected president of the Canadian Pediatric Society.
00:04:10.780
Canada needs a real reckoning for the mass graves hoax.
00:04:16.500
Fascinating that the Globe and Mail just within the last week has come out and said a similar thing.
00:04:29.300
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
