Hi there, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is 9, 10 a.m. on January 6th. I do have my big
00:00:06.740
blue mug of coffee this morning and I just watched Trudeau resign in his press conference. He's
00:00:13.640
answering questions at this moment from the media and I am not all that happy about what's going on
00:00:20.640
here, folks. Of course, I'm happy that he is resigning, but the way this is being played out
00:00:27.340
is not good. I mentioned last night this is exactly what I predicted would happen. He's going to stick
00:00:32.340
around until they pick a new leader. He says he's proroguing government. Governor General says that's
00:00:39.220
okay and it will be prorogued until March 24th. He started off by defending his awful record on things
00:00:45.460
like the pandemic, climate change, the economy and whatnot. It looked like he had a tear in his eye
00:00:50.840
for this, but again, I am not overly thrilled at this. I was watching one of the excellent people
00:00:56.220
who covers government and politics in Canada online. I'm thrilled that he has finally resigned
00:01:03.500
and yeah, I'm glad that he's resigned, but here's the situation and I don't think you're
00:01:07.760
going to hear this right off the top from too many people until they sit down and think about
00:01:12.140
it. I've been thinking about this since last night. You are going to be inundated for months
00:01:17.220
now with liberal propaganda from Trudeau's bought and paid for media. This is going to go on
00:01:23.220
24-7, seven days a week for months. You are going to be bashed as a conservative. What you believe in
00:01:30.500
is going to be bashed by the media, by all the leadership contenders. You're going to hear it
00:01:36.660
non-stop. Poliev is going to be right through the mud and it's going to be a billion-dollar free
00:01:41.780
advertisement campaign for the Liberal Party and that's what really makes me sick about this. The other
00:01:47.380
thing that makes me sick about this, I mentioned it last night, we don't get an opportunity to kick
00:01:52.500
Trudeau right in the ass like we wanted to in an election. We will not be getting an early election.
00:01:59.460
There will be no non-confidence votes. If government isn't sitting, if it's prorogued, there will be no
00:02:04.420
committees, there will be no votes and this is going to go on and on and on for months. So I'm not all
00:02:10.100
that happy about this. It kind of sickens me a little bit. Now I did prepare something to talk about
00:02:15.140
some of the leaders that are likely to come forward for the Liberal Party or at least try to get the
00:02:21.060
leadership. They're all complicit in the absolute train wreck that we've got in this country with our
00:02:25.780
economy. And the other thing that's really, really dangerous about this, government is prorogued until
00:02:35.220
March 24th and we have an interim prime minister who is a lame duck who is seen as very weak and we've
00:02:42.100
got a looming crisis with the United States coming. We're only, what, 14 days away from Donald Trump
00:02:49.700
and his inauguration? He's the new president, tariffs are waiting and other things are very important,
00:02:55.300
have to be taken care of immediately and we've got nobody to deal with the United States government,
00:03:00.100
likely until October because that's when the next election is coming. I am not thrilled at this
00:03:06.420
happening. This is not a great thing. Trudeau goes, yes, happy to see that happen. It's been a long
00:03:13.540
time coming. He stayed far too long. And my final words go out to who I call the biggest piece of
00:03:19.460
in Canadian political history, Jagmeet Singh. Because Singh, you could have voted this down
00:03:26.740
months ago and we could have gone to an election already, but you stuck around for your damn pension
00:03:32.260
and you're going to get your pension. But here's the deal. Right now in some polls, the Liberals are
00:03:37.460
running fourth and you're running above the Liberals. Well right now the Liberals are going to be given
00:03:42.580
that huge advertising campaign I mentioned and they're going to eat into your lead and pretty soon
00:03:47.540
your party will be as irrelevant as the Liberals. You had a chance to make something out of this
00:03:53.140
and you blew it because you wanted your $2.3 million pension. You're a fool. Anyhow, not thrilled about this.
00:04:00.180
I'm not grinning ear to ear. This is a sad day in Canadian politics that this can happen, that we're
00:04:06.020
going to have to deal with this government and God knows what else they can do to us by October.
00:04:09.860
Who knows the garbage they're going to be springing on us before an October election. All kinds of freebies
00:04:15.940
to buy people's votes. Anyhow, thank you very much for watching. More stuff coming up. I hope you have a
