00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel 514 AM. I hope you're having a great Friday,
00:00:08.080 September the 25th. Thank you so much for being here. I do appreciate it.
00:00:13.940 And I don't want this channel to be the, this place is nuts or Canada is nuts channel. Okay,
00:00:21.900 the last couple of days I've done some videos, volume one and volume two, you know, everyone in
00:00:27.120 Canada should want to get out of the country, basically, has been the theme of the last two
00:00:31.240 days on this channel. But you know, when you look at what's going on in Canada, that's the
00:00:36.360 conclusion you come to. This place is absolutely stark raving mad. Mark Carney's swinging a 0.61
00:00:43.120 wrecking ball, and the country's going down with it, folks. You know, please forgive me for this,
00:00:48.140 okay? I'm going to get to the video and the topics I'm going to go over in just a moment,
00:00:52.360 but please forgive me for this. I read some of the headlines. One in particular came up
00:00:56.760 yesterday. I went, this guy is insane. Carney. And I thought, you know, I almost wished we had 0.77
00:01:03.360 Justin Trudeau back because Justin Trudeau was the idiot in power. He was so stupid. He didn't 1.00
00:01:11.040 know what he was doing. Mark Carney knows what he's doing. This is all being done to effect.
00:01:16.040 And he's bringing the country down with it in my province, which wants to get out
00:01:19.480 of the country that start grieving that. So anyway, this place is nuts. So there's a couple 0.68
00:01:24.380 of stories I want to go over today. Now, the first story that I wanted to talk about today,
00:01:29.520 and no doubt you've heard about this, and other people have talked about this,
00:01:33.280 but I had a vision as soon as I heard this story yesterday that maybe you did not have,
00:01:38.060 and that's why you come here. I think a little bit differently here, and I'm going to put you
00:01:41.840 to the test in just a moment to see if you come to the same conclusion I come to when you read
00:01:47.980 this story. Now, this is the story, this is from the BBC. Mark Carney says he has considered
00:01:53.360 possibility of U.S. military action against Canada. Okay. Let me make it a little bit bigger
00:02:02.240 for you just so you can see it. Let's do that. There we go. Okay. So I'm not going to read a
00:02:06.820 lot of this story. So Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has considered the remote possibility
00:02:10.700 of U.S. military action against Canada, according to an interview with the New York Times. Carney
00:02:15.660 told the Times that his administration has carefully examined the extreme tail risk scenario
00:02:21.940 where the U.S. takes military action against his country and had prepared accordingly without
00:02:27.480 providing further detail. I think you have a responsibility in these roles to look at extreme
00:02:33.080 tail risk, Carney told the Times. That's just risk management. That's not a base case, but it would
00:02:39.960 be irresponsible not to prepare. So Mark Carney and the Canadian government, the brains that run
00:02:46.560 the Canadian government. Okay. And I use brains as a loose term for these people. Okay. They're
00:02:53.660 preparing for the United States to attack Canada. Here's another article right here in the Calgary
00:02:59.000 Sun. Carney prepared for risk that Trump might order U.S. to invade Canada. That's just risk
00:03:05.260 management. Now, a lot of people have commented on this story and you probably haven't had a
00:03:09.900 chance to think about it and you think this is nuts. But here's what I thought. When I heard
00:03:17.600 that Mark Carney was preparing for the Canadian military to fight the U.S. military. Now, I'm
00:03:25.200 going to give you 10 seconds to think about this. Get a vision in your head. Think of a thumbnail
00:03:29.960 you could put on my video if it were only about this story that we're talking about right now.
00:03:35.880 think about that. I'm going to give you 10 seconds and I'll come back and tell you what I thought
00:03:41.680 about. So you've thought about your thumbnail and I'm going to show you mine in just a moment.
00:03:55.520 Now, before I show it to you, I just want to say this. This is no slight on the Canadian military,
00:04:01.400 the people in the Canadian military. When I say thank you for your service, I truly mean that.
00:04:08.220 So thank you very much for your service. If you have volunteered to be in the Canadian military,
00:04:12.900 but it's no secret that the Canadian military is rather pitiful. Imagine the Canadian military
00:04:18.880 going up against the might of the United States of America. Imagine that. And the fact that Mark
00:04:26.280 Carney had to think more than one moment about this, or he had to get the brains in Ottawa,
00:04:30.900 law or the Canadian government to actually spend time thinking about this, I don't understand it
00:04:37.020 because this is what I thought about as soon as I heard this story. Is this the kind of thing you
00:04:43.560 were thinking about? Because I thought about this instantly. The Canadian military wouldn't last more
00:04:48.340 than five minutes against the might of the United States of America. And that anybody in the
00:04:53.380 government is thinking more than 10 seconds about this, I find it quite astounding. And that Mark
00:04:58.180 Carney would say that with a straight face to the New York Times. Now there's this article right
00:05:02.560 here, which is actually more serious, that didn't get more play than the ridiculousness of the fact
00:05:07.800 that Mark Carney and the government is thinking about an attack by the United States on Canada.
00:05:13.280 But there's this article here, Brian Lilly, Mark Carney's currency comments risk more
00:05:17.800 than trade repercussions. He challenged the US dollar's global status in that same article with
00:05:24.340 the New York Times. And as Lilly says, it may complicate efforts to end American terrorists
00:05:29.060 and protect Canadian jobs. And Mark Carney at this point is just poking the bear. He's poking
00:05:34.060 Donald Trump because it plays to his base. Now, actually, let me just go back to this. There's
00:05:38.320 a poll in here. And let me just show you this poll quickly. According to this poll, now the
00:05:43.860 poll is, do you worry U.S. President Donald Trump could launch military action against Canada? 16%
00:05:49.640 on the Calgary Sun website, now this isn't scientific, say they're worried about this.
00:05:54.040 These people walk amongst us, folks. That's a frightening thought. Now, this next story,
00:06:00.820 okay, is satire. But the story right after it is not satire. Now, the first story is ridiculous.
00:06:11.340 The second story is true. And it's even more ridiculous than the satire by the Babylon Bee. 0.92
00:06:17.080 Now, this is a great article here. You know, it's sad that this is being joked about. I have to say 0.55
00:06:22.080 that. But you've got to love the Babylon Bee for poking Canada over this. And I'm going to be very
00:06:28.780 careful here of saying the word at the end of the first line in the title of this story, because
00:06:34.240 the algorithm for YouTube will probably catch it and hold up my video. So, Canada clarifies that
00:06:40.780 by assisted S, they mean totally unsolicited murder. Okay. And again, this is sad that we're
00:06:47.000 joking about this because this is a very serious story. And I just want to say this.
00:06:52.740 I'm in favor of this to a point. A loved one, a family member of mine did this. I won't say who
00:07:00.160 it is. And I was totally fine with their decision on this because of the circumstances, but this is
00:07:05.860 happening far too much. Okay. Speaking at the UN this week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney
00:07:11.920 clarified their medical assistance in dying MAID program, explaining that by assisted S,
00:07:18.000 they mean completely unsolicited murder. There's been a lot of confusion about our healthcare
00:07:23.900 program, and I see now the fault is ours, Carney said. You see, by assisted S, we actually mean
00:07:29.920 killing whoever we feel like, eh? Now listen to this. At publishing time, President Trump had 0.94
00:07:42.080 ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to draft up a set of murder tariffs to put in place for
00:07:48.920 Canada. Oh my God, I love it. But this next story, I'm going to let you read this, okay? I'm going
00:07:56.520 to let you read this on your own. This is from Black Locks. You read it before I read it. I'm
00:08:01.400 going to bring it up on the screen. This is true. Now, you just read a story that was making fun of
00:08:08.140 a very serious topic, satire, and you're probably laughing about it. This is true.
00:08:16.860 This story is true. And here's the thing, folks. The people, I'm going to read this to you in just
00:08:22.920 a moment. The people involved here, they walk amongst us. If you're watching this with headphones
00:08:28.980 on, perhaps on a train right now, you're sitting on a bus, or you're maybe in a coffee shop,
00:08:34.180 there are people around you that think like this. And not only that, in the story itself,
00:08:39.860 you are paying these people. That's another frightening thing. So let's read the story.
00:08:45.720 This is true. This is not satire. Again, thanks to Black Locks for this. Toronto members of one
00:08:51.480 of the nation's largest unions are petitioning to abolish the phrase public servant. The
00:08:57.200 reference is a painful reminder of servitude and African slavery, said the Toronto Racialized
00:09:06.440 Members Committee of the Public Service Alliance of Canada. Did you know there was a racialized
00:09:12.820 members committee and you're paying for it? Did you know this? The term, quote, okay, quote, 0.99
00:09:19.580 the term servant carries significant historical trauma. This is just so absurd.
00:09:31.180 And then we get this story here. I mean, I'm not going to read this to you. And we're talking
00:09:37.160 about economics and whatnot and going into a long diatribe about the fact that they're going to
00:09:42.080 miss their target when it comes to our budgets. But did you expect anything different from this
00:09:46.160 government. And you know, when we have the next budget announcement, they're going to gaslight us
00:09:51.280 to the end of the world and how great this country is doing. And what are our deficits at now? 60 to
00:09:57.260 $70 billion a year. And then there's this. I mean, did you hear that there's an election going on in
00:10:04.240 British Columbia? Did you hear that David Eby, the premier, has called an election in BC? You knew
00:10:10.240 this, two years in advance, thinking he can get a massive majority out of this. And it's possible.
00:10:16.900 Again, remember the people that walk amongst us. And on the left coast, there's a lot more of those
00:10:21.280 people out there. They don't think right. They think emotionally. And that's what David Eby is
00:10:26.220 depending on. He wants them to think emotionally and not logically. British Columbia is a basket
00:10:31.820 case right now. The whole province is being taken over by indigenous groups. He talks about major 1.00
00:10:37.800 projects. We are the province with the most major projects, more than any other province in the
00:10:43.160 country. There's no investment in his projects. It's all your money. Just like there's no
00:10:47.900 investment in a pipeline from Alberta to the British Columbia coast. It's all your money,
00:10:52.920 government money, your money. But David Eby, and it's funny, I was thinking this this morning.
00:10:58.920 David Eby, I was thinking Eby was something, you know, it sounded a little bit like a
00:11:02.440 communicable disease. You know, I got a bad case at EB. So anyway, here's the story. This is from
00:11:10.380 our friends at the Western Standard. Derek Fildebrandt, Corey Morgan, great folks over
00:11:14.840 there. I subscribe to the Western Standard. Check this out. BC conservatives lead NDP 43% to 35
00:11:22.020 after snap election call. You know, I keep thinking, and I keep thinking that eventually this
00:11:29.820 trump derangement syndrome and the use of trump for everything people are going to tire of it
00:11:37.080 okay and and i and i think that's are we at peak trump i guess is the way i want to put this i
00:11:45.220 mean here are the poll numbers right here david eby may have made a colossal mistake here huge
00:11:53.360 mistake. Now, I never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate. It's very important 1.00
00:12:00.160 to remember that. But how is Eby running this campaign? What is he running on? Is he running
00:12:07.080 on the fact that he's going to try to fix all the problems with the indigenous groups, which is a
00:12:11.780 great concern to people in British Columbia, although it does pull very low. It's very
00:12:17.480 expensive to live in British Columbia. Fuel prices are through the roof. You'd think that would be
00:12:21.540 the most important thing to people. The conservative party are probably going to run on the indigenous 0.91
00:12:28.760 thing. They're going to run on the state of the economy and the cost of living. But what is David
00:12:35.320 Eby running on? Well, you know, here, I just cut this down from a news conference he did after he
00:12:43.480 called this election. And this was a one minute clip. And listen to what he says four times in
00:12:50.860 one minute. To take a strong stand against Trump, David Eby should comply with Donald Trump. David
00:12:56.720 Eby should comply with Donald Trump. This makes us better able to stand up to Trump. Trump, Trump,
00:13:02.680 Trump, Trump. And as a matter of fact, in the same news conference, one of the issues was putting
00:13:08.320 American booze on British Columbia shelves. This is what we run elections on in this country now,
00:13:14.380 folks. It's nothing serious. And I hate to go over the same ground and sound like a broken
00:13:20.540 record. But how is any of this helping the people of British Columbia? How is any of this kind of
00:13:25.700 stuff talking about the European Union and talking about an invasion by the United States of America
00:13:31.580 helping you? How does it bring down food prices? How does it make life more affordable? This is
00:13:36.400 the way we run elections in this country now. They're doing the same thing in Quebec.
00:13:42.280 And if Mark Carney calls another election, he's going to run on Trump. 1.00
00:13:45.800 And the stupidity of the elbows up people know no bounds. 1.00
00:13:51.000 They'll go for it. 1.00
00:13:52.060 They'll buy it hook, line, and sinker again.
00:13:55.700 And it's just so sad.
00:13:57.600 I just feel so sad that this is the state of the country.
00:14:01.220 You know, my province wants, the people that I know, the people in my province, Alberta,
00:14:05.840 the greatest province in the country, want to be our own country.
00:14:10.260 We want to get away from this.
00:14:12.020 We're tired of this.
00:14:14.260 This isn't healthy. 0.97
00:14:15.800 Canada's nuts. Thanks very much for watching. And I'll, and I'll spend my day kind of watching 0.98
00:14:24.500 the news. I don't do this all day long. I'll watch the news and more and more of this stuff comes up
00:14:29.180 day after day after day. And all you have to do is laugh, folks. You know, the weekend's coming up.
00:14:36.500 Put your tablets down, put your phones down, go out and enjoy what's left of the good weather.
00:14:44.040 if you get any. Winter's coming pretty soon, but leave it all behind. It's so damn depressing,
00:14:50.480 but sometimes you just have to laugh. Thanks very much for watching. If you like this video,
