00:00:00.240 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is Monday, the 12th of May, 4.57 a.m. with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:07.460 And today I want to be a little ray of sunshine for you on what seems to be a very rainy day right across Canada.
00:00:16.080 And on a rainy day here in Calgary in the soon-to-be Republic of Alberta.
00:00:21.000 You know, I was saying prior to the election to my wife, I've done very well on this channel since I really started doing videos.
00:00:28.200 It's early December. I had about 400 subscribers and I just passed 31,000. I am so grateful that you're here.
00:00:35.060 But I said to her, after the election, I expect the views on my videos to drop down a lot.
00:00:39.960 And I've actually seen some of the bigger YouTubers in the country watching their views drop a lot.
00:00:44.500 And I understand that 100%. It's so depressing.
00:00:47.680 I've been there before following other election campaigns where I was so into the election.
00:00:52.340 And then when my candidate lost, I wanted to tune out because I was depressed.
00:00:55.960 And I hope I could bring a ray of sunshine to you today.
00:00:58.660 But a lot of people are melting down online as the Liberals get closer and closer to a majority.
00:01:07.880 And the latest thing is this.
00:01:10.120 We have some breaking news on the election front.
00:01:12.480 CTV News has confirmed with multiple sources that the Quebec riding of Terrebonne has flipped to the Liberals.
00:01:19.060 A judicial recount shows the Liberals have won the riding by just one single vote over the Bloc Quebecois.
00:01:26.280 That brings the Liberals' seat count in the Parliament to 170.
00:01:30.120 And take a look at this.
00:01:31.160 Just two seats shy, less than what is needed for a majority government.
00:01:36.220 I still intend to bring a ray of sunshine to your life on a pretty dark and rainy day in Canada.
00:01:43.360 The Liberals getting closer to that majority and people are upset about it.
00:01:46.840 This is through recount.
00:01:49.180 I think I said back maybe the 29th of April, the 30th, just after the election.
00:01:54.700 I think the Liberals will eventually get their majority.
00:01:57.440 I don't know whether it will be through recount.
00:01:59.840 But I think a couple of NDPers, and it only needs to be a couple now, will walk across the aisle and join their brethren on the left.
00:02:07.600 I think that will still happen.
00:02:09.180 Actually, if you look at the Elections Canada website as of this morning, they haven't updated it.
00:02:13.200 It's still at 169 for the Liberals, 144 for the Conservatives.
00:02:18.360 It's been amazing to watch how this has been perceived by the right and Conservatives in Canada online.
00:02:25.720 People losing their freaking minds over this one vote that changed this riding from Bloc Quebecois to the Liberal Party.
00:02:33.760 Here's just a smattering of what I captured online this morning.
00:02:36.840 As you look at these tweets, I actually had these in a folder called Stealing for this video today.
00:02:45.740 All these people saying that Elections Canada stole this riding for the Liberals by one vote.
00:02:51.200 Lots of people saying online as well, one vote can make a difference, so make sure you vote.
00:02:54.760 I want to know who that person is that switched this riding.
00:02:58.640 But my Conservative friends, you either trust the recounts or you don't.
00:03:01.780 But here's Real Albanian Pat. I believe these numbers are correct. 0.97
00:03:05.400 The Liberals, after recount, have picked up three seats.
00:03:08.360 The Conservatives have picked up six.
00:03:09.740 So the recounts have been a benefit to the Conservatives at this point.
00:03:13.700 I think what really hurts here and why there's so much darkness right now if you're a Conservative,
00:03:17.800 you just look back to November.
00:03:19.060 Here's the pleb. 0.99
00:03:20.740 Apolleyev had a 30% lead.
00:03:23.160 We're witnessing history here.
00:03:24.720 The man just can't stop winning.
00:03:27.080 This is what he accompanied with that tweet.
00:03:29.260 Look at the numbers.
00:03:30.420 47 to 17 for the Conservatives.
00:03:33.120 Table salt here.
00:03:34.100 We're back.
00:03:34.580 This was as recent as February the 13th.
00:03:36.780 Look at the numbers.
00:03:38.100 And then Apolleyev just couldn't stop winning until he didn't win and lost his own seat.
00:03:44.260 And the Liberals got back in once again.
00:03:46.160 Which leads us to the light at the end of the tunnel.
00:03:50.600 The dawn after the darkness where we are right now.
00:03:53.240 Things are going to get better.
00:03:54.660 However, if Carney doesn't get the majority and get those extra two seats,
00:03:59.140 he's going to rule like he has a majority for the next couple of years.
00:04:02.540 There will be an election 18 months to two years out.
00:04:05.980 That's what I see coming.
00:04:07.100 And they won't have the Donald Trump thing.
00:04:09.520 I think a lot of the boomers who voted for the elbows up thing
00:04:12.140 will give their head a shake realizing that the economy is not getting better.
00:04:15.740 And maybe they should think a little bit more about their kids and their grandchildren
00:04:19.540 and their futures as opposed to being comfy in their paid-off homes with their boats and their pensions.
00:04:25.720 And as an Alberta separatist, anything the Liberals do over the next year will have a referendum vote here.
00:04:34.140 Will be good for independence here.
00:04:36.580 Because a lot of people here will realize that Liberal rule doesn't do any good for Canada.
00:04:42.200 This is just one thing.
00:04:43.400 But I saw this on smalldeadanimals.com this morning.
00:04:46.140 Great website.
00:04:46.780 If you don't like politically incorrect stuff, don't go there because it'll probably piss you off.
00:04:51.400 But I've been going there for years.
00:04:52.660 But I saw this at smalldeadanimals this morning.
00:04:55.840 A public debt charges versus GST revenue.
00:04:58.740 Canada's GST no longer covers the interest on its national debt.
00:05:03.040 I've mentioned here before we pay more than a billion dollars every week to service our debt.
00:05:07.760 The GST used to cover it.
00:05:09.200 It doesn't anymore.
00:05:10.400 So I can see the Liberals raising the GST back up.
00:05:14.200 What is it at?
00:05:14.640 5% now?
00:05:15.680 Harper brought it down a couple of percentage points.
00:05:18.240 I can see them raising the GST over the next couple of years because they need your money, folks, to pay for all of their big government.
00:05:25.960 And boy, did Carney promise big government.
00:05:29.220 Housing program, $130 billion more deficit spending than Trudeau.
00:05:34.460 They need your money.
00:05:35.680 So this is going to doom the Liberal Party.
00:05:38.020 The darkness before the dawn.
00:05:40.200 It is coming, folks.
00:05:41.040 Short video today.
00:05:42.640 Thank you for being here.
00:05:43.860 Just wiped.
00:05:45.560 A busy day yesterday.
00:05:46.900 Up early.
00:05:48.100 One out riding.
00:05:48.900 70k ride.
00:05:50.120 Had dinner with people over the house yesterday.
00:05:52.640 So I'm kind of wiped out this morning.
00:05:54.220 Thanks for being here.
00:05:55.240 I do appreciate it.
