00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 522 a.m. It is May the 21st. I hope you're having a great
00:00:06.080 day today. I've got my big blue mug of coffee. I'm kind of chuckling because if you're having
00:00:11.180 a great day, it will likely be worse after you watch this video. Now stick with me here. Listen,
00:00:18.440 yesterday I was following this story about the consumer carbon tax driving up inflation. Here's
00:00:22.980 Brian Lilly's article from The Sun from yesterday. Liberals lied on the carbon tax according to
00:00:28.420 Statistics Canada data. You should be pissed off about this. And it's really crazy because I
00:00:33.360 remember doing research on the carbon tax months ago on this channel and I came up with this graphic
00:00:39.280 by the same news organization, Global News. They recycled the story year after year after year
00:00:46.360 after year after year on the carbon tax going up every April 1st, which was eliminated by Pierre
00:00:53.740 Polyev, not Mark Carney. Polyev forced Carney to get rid of the consumer carbon tax. Thank the
00:00:58.400 conservatives and Pierre Polyev, you liberal dopes out there. And Polyev never took credit
00:01:03.960 for it. I'll never forgive him. I'll never forgive him. He should have. It would have been
00:01:08.380 a great play during the election campaign. But anyway, I move on. So what's the story here?
00:01:12.380 So here's, here's Lily's story. The price decrease in April was mainly driven by the removal of the 0.95
00:01:17.800 consumer carbon price. Statistics Canada announced Tuesday morning while reporting inflation fell
00:01:23.400 from 2.3% in March to 1.7% in April. So a double whammy. You got charged at the pump. You got
00:01:28.860 charged for your heating. You got charged for all kinds of other things directly from the consumer
00:01:32.820 carbon tax. And it did drive up inflation, meaning you paid on everything else. I've got a demand of
00:01:37.480 the liberals on your behalf in just a minute. Stay tuned. But it's going to get worse. Honestly,
00:01:42.860 it's going to get worse. We'll get to that in a moment. So we go over to the Lily story.
00:01:46.980 When the House of Commons was last sitting in December, some five months ago, conservative
00:01:51.500 leader Pierre Polyev, remember him, raised the issue of the carbon tax and inflation. Then
00:01:57.240 Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Polyev's statements absolute nonsense and dismissed the
00:02:02.280 idea that the carbon tax and inflation were connected. He is wrong when he says that the
00:02:08.160 price on pollution that is both fighting climate change and putting more money in people's pockets
00:02:13.320 is responsible for inflation. So they lied to you. I knew it. You knew it. They said it over
00:02:20.480 and over and over again. Now I'm going to go here, folks. I'm going here. A famous propagandist
00:02:27.320 once said, a lie told once is still a lie. A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. And
00:02:33.720 the liberals know this. And they know they can manipulate weak-minded people to vote for them
00:02:39.400 and believe them by just saying the same thing over and over again. Now some of you know the
00:02:44.260 clip I'm going to play right now. A drunken woman in a bar used to be a Liberal Environment Minister 1.00
00:02:51.920 admitting the truth. You know, I actually gave him some real advice. I said that if you actually
00:02:57.680 say it louder, we've learned in the House of Commons, if you repeat it, if you say it louder,
00:03:01.580 if that is your talking point, people will totally believe it. The former Environment Minister and
00:03:06.440 Liberal, Catherine McKenna, telling you how it is. You know, another famous Canadian, here's another
00:03:12.200 quote for you, said, a carbon tax is not about reducing emissions, it's a front for raising revenues.
00:03:18.500 That was Stephen Harper, and he's absolutely right. They soaked you for years on this. They lied to
00:03:23.000 you. Did I mention I've got a demand of the government in just a moment on your behalf?
00:03:26.480 Hold on for that. But more are coming, folks, because we have the industrial carbon pricing
00:03:32.960 system coming, which is going to drive up costs for industry here, which is going to be paid by you.
00:03:39.400 And then there's this one as well. It's known as CBAM, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
00:03:45.400 Mark Carney's carbon tariff would hurt Canadians and help no one. National Post article, this is prior
00:03:50.300 to him winning the election. It would be hard to come up with a dumber tariff plan than President
00:03:55.620 Donald Trump, but Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney is giving it his best shot.
00:04:01.400 Carney released his carbon tax plan recently, and it contained a tariff, a carbon tariff. Carney said
00:04:05.660 he'd change the carbon tax, but would replace it with a hidden industrial carbon tax. And on top of it
00:04:10.640 all, he'd impose carbon tariffs on imports. In former central bank speak, this tariff is called
00:04:17.100 a carbon border adjustment mechanism. Carney plans to impose the tariff on imports from other countries
00:04:22.720 if he thinks they aren't doing enough to reduce emissions. That tariff would make the products
00:04:27.060 more expensive to import into Canada, and that means Canadians would pay more. So two more carbon
00:04:32.080 taxes are coming. You know it. I know it. Know it. And if the consumer carbon tax drove up inflation,
00:04:37.700 how will these drive up inflation costing you more money? That's what I want to know. Now what's my
00:04:43.760 demand? I don't know. We need to come up with a number, but I want my freaking money back.
00:04:49.780 I want my money back. At the end, when I paid at the pump, it was an extra $10 a tank. I was putting
00:04:58.020 about a tank in a week. Do the math. 52 weeks in a year, $520 a year. Stretch it back six years. Let's
00:05:05.700 average it out to $7 a tank. How much money do you think you deserve back from the Liberal government
00:05:09.960 who's lied to you, blatantly lied, knowingly lied to you for years about this? But for regular families
00:05:17.540 that are hardworking, it puts more money in their pockets. They knew it because you knew it, and I
00:05:23.100 knew it. But it was a conspiracy theory until it's not anymore. I want my money back. I think Paulie,
00:05:31.980 Evan, I mentioned in one of my videos ages ago, should have promised a rebate, a carbon tax rebate
00:05:36.960 for every Canadian because they'd been screwed over for six years with the carbon tax under the
00:05:42.040 Liberal Party. I would have loved that. I think we deserve money back from the Liberal Party.
00:05:48.780 And you know what? Climate change wasn't brought up a lot during the election, but I think you're
00:05:52.660 going to get a lot of it from this government. I think you are, but I want my money back.
00:05:57.240 This infuriates me. It should infuriate you as well. But we knew they were lying.
00:06:07.140 But there were just enough people to buy it. Buying into a stupid phrase, elbows up,
00:06:15.860 that got us the same party that screwed us over for years with the fake carbon tax that did
00:06:23.300 absolutely nothing for the environment. But it made you all a lot poorer.
