A year ago, I did a video with this title, Trump is the symptom, the liberals are the disease.
00:00:08.320
The left in Canada has a new symptom, the disease remains the same.
00:00:16.920
Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel, 436 a.m. Friday, February 27th. I hope you're having a
00:00:22.840
great start to your Friday as we get set for the weekend with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:27.540
I don't want to talk about the weather, but we're getting snow here in Calgary today.
00:00:32.480
Remember the old saying, maybe those of you who are more seasoned like myself will remember this.
00:00:38.020
Remember the saying, out like a lion, in like a lamb, when you were talking about months?
00:00:42.860
Yeah, February's going out like a lion, March coming in like a lion.
00:00:47.720
Yeah, do they teach that to kids anymore? I wonder.
00:00:51.040
They probably know their pronouns, but they don't know sayings like that,
00:00:54.260
which I've remembered for the last 60 years. So it's great to have you a lot here today.
00:00:59.500
Let's move on to today's topic. So where do I start with this? There's a word that isn't used
00:01:06.740
very much anymore. It's statist. I used to listen to Mark Levin a lot on American radio,
00:01:11.980
and he used to use the word statist a lot. A statist is somebody who believes in the supremacy,
00:01:18.300
the power, the control of the state. If you're a conservative, you don't believe that. You believe
00:01:23.280
in the power of the individual. When people ask me what I want as a conservative, I say I want to
00:01:27.320
be left alone. Reagan said, the government that is best governs least. I believe that. But statist,
00:01:33.840
leftists believe in government supremacy. Frederick Bastiat said this, the state is the great fiction
00:01:40.380
by which everybody seeks to live at the expense of everybody else. And we're getting further and
00:01:46.520
further into that here in Canada. You know, we've got high food prices in the country right now.
00:01:50.700
The answer isn't to try to do something about the problem. The answer is to give more money to
00:01:56.240
people and more tax dollars to people. So you're basically, you know, robbing Peter to pay Paul
00:02:02.100
in this situation. Now, George Bernard Shaw, again, the politician that robs Peter to pay Paul will
00:02:07.280
always have a friend in Paul, right? Boy, lots and lots of quotes here for you today. But that's where
00:02:14.280
we are right now. You know, I started off this video right off the top talking about, you know,
00:02:21.000
Trump is the symptom. The liberals are the disease. And I believe the liberals federally, and I believe
00:02:27.780
that leftists across the country are going to have a new Donald Trump. They've got a new symptom,
00:02:33.960
but the disease remains the same. And that's the liberal party. What am I talking about? Well,
00:02:39.900
let's listen to Pierre Paulia for a moment. He lays it out quite succinctly in this short video.
00:02:45.720
Fact. Six million Canadians can't get access to a family doctor. Fact. It takes 30 weeks for the
00:02:52.400
average Canadian to see a specialist. Fact. While you can't get health care, liberals force you to pay
00:02:57.420
higher taxes to fund deluxe supplementary health care benefits for asylum claimants who've been
00:03:04.880
rejected, who are non-Canadians, non-permanent residents, and have never paid taxes in this
00:03:10.080
country. Fact. The reality is that these services include many things that are not covered by your
00:03:16.980
public plan. Things like physiotherapy. Fact. The cost of providing these deluxe supplementary
00:03:24.740
benefits to asylum claimants has gone up by a thousand percent under the liberals to over a billion
00:03:32.080
dollars. Money diverted away from our health care, jamming up our system and increasing our
00:03:37.020
weight lines. Paulia just pointing out a problem here that needs to be resolved. I don't think any
00:03:43.960
of you are happy with the headline you're seeing on the screen right now from the National Post,
00:03:47.820
which I've shown you a couple of times before. We're now spending a billion dollars per year to
00:03:51.660
cover health care costs of refugee claimants. And the devil's in the details. These are claimants.
00:03:57.000
We don't know that these are refugees at all. And as Paulia points out, some of these people have had
00:04:02.960
their claims rejected and they are still getting Canadian taxpayers' dollars. I think this is a
00:04:08.000
problem that needs to be resolved. I think that's common sense. But of course, this is what happened
00:04:14.620
just the other day. Conservative push to re-evaluate asylum seekers' access to Canadian health care was
00:04:20.980
defeated. Of course it was. A conservative-led push to crack down on asylum seekers' ability to receive
00:04:26.240
health care services that some Canadians struggle to access was rejected by a majority of MPs on
00:04:31.760
Wednesday. And I don't want to blame refugee claimants or immigrants for this. They are the
00:04:39.620
symptom. The liberals are the disease here. Much like Donald Trump is. Listen, I have said here before,
00:04:48.380
if you're coming to this country legally, you have a reason for being here, you're chosen on merit,
00:04:53.920
I have no problem with that at all. You're welcome here. There are a lot of people in this country who
00:04:59.740
come from other places who are good Albertans. And for those of you who live in Canada, they're good
00:05:05.020
Canadians. So I'm not picking on immigrants. I'm picking on the ones who come here illegally,
00:05:09.080
who are using our resources, meaning tax dollars. And it costs a lot of money. I mean, are you happy
00:05:16.660
that this kind of thing is happening in your country while this is happening at the same time?
00:05:22.380
The report is warning child poverty in Canada is on the rise, reversing years of progress.
00:05:29.320
A recent report found nearly 30,000 children fell into poverty last year. Researchers say the
00:05:34.960
country is approaching poverty levels not seen since 2017, suggesting that at the current pace,
00:05:40.800
it would take nearly 400 years to eliminate child poverty completely. The report makes several
00:05:46.480
recommendations, including strengthening the national poverty reduction plan, boosting the Canada
00:05:51.480
child care benefit and investing more in child care and housing.
00:05:56.380
How do you feel about that? You've got more children living in poverty in this country. Meanwhile,
00:06:00.920
we're spending all this money on people who shouldn't be here in the first place. The conservatives put a
00:06:05.240
motion forward to stop it. And the people on the left, the liberal government in Ottawa votes against
00:06:10.980
the motion. So the money will continue to be spent because this is a great opportunity for them to start
00:06:16.720
throwing around the isms. You're starting to see articles like this. Andrew Coyne, who desperately
00:06:21.620
wants to be a senator. The Globe and Mail. Smith and Polly find someone to blame for their problems.
00:06:26.760
Immigrants, if you go online. Racist, racism being thrown around. Here in Alberta, I mean, Danielle Smith got
00:06:32.780
out in front of this last week when she started talking about questions on a referendum. And I've talked
00:06:39.680
about this over the last couple of days. I did a video on this regarding her being called a Nazi. Here's
00:06:45.760
Thomas Lukasik, former deputy premier here in the province. And Rachel Notley, the former premier, referring
00:06:50.820
to the Third Reich when it comes to this issue. And this is going to be used, folks. The immigrants will be the
00:06:57.340
new Trump. But again, the immigrants are simply a symptom. The liberals are the disease. What's the common thread
00:07:08.660
with all the problems you've got in the country right now? Housing. Food prices. Too much immigration. Too much
00:07:17.440
illegal immigration. Crime. Cost of living. The common thread is the liberals. They seem to get off
00:07:26.380
scot-free. You know, Kearney even had to rub it in the other day in the House of Commons when being asked
00:07:34.580
about this immigration issue, it being a problem. And of course, he has to stand up and boast and try
00:07:40.860
to rub it in when it comes to Pierre Pagliot because Kearney's approaching an anniversary, folks.
00:07:46.360
Mr. Speaker, I'm looking forward to coming up to my one-year anniversary as Prime Minister.
00:07:51.740
You know, watching that clip, I'm thinking about my mom who used to talk about Pierre Trudeau. He's so
00:08:02.740
arrogant. Liberals are arrogant. Look at that. A little dig at Pagliot. I'm the Prime Minister. Yeah,
00:08:07.900
he's coming up on his year anniversary, I believe March 9th. Has anything gotten better? No. But they
00:08:13.640
got another thing to use against the conservatives. So immigrants will be the new Trump. Now, don't get
00:08:18.460
me wrong. Donald Trump will still be used. He's their number one weapon against the conservative
00:08:23.500
party. And to influence the minds of weak-minded Canadians who vote liberal. I mean, he even
00:08:31.180
brought it up during this discussion about immigration the other day. A little dig. A little
00:08:36.380
dig at the Americans. Here it is. Mr. Speaker, yes, Canada is not America. Yes, Canada provides
00:08:43.900
essential health care to everyone in this country. Got to get a little dig in at the Americans there
00:08:52.860
to rile up the base, right? You know, there was an article I read the other day about this new
00:08:57.100
Canadian nationalism. And I call it faux Canadian patriotism. I've mentioned this a couple of times.
00:09:03.060
It's been a while, but it's not about love of country. It's about hatred of America and Donald Trump
00:09:08.620
right now. And these people vote against their best interests here in Canada because they've been
00:09:13.820
indoctrinated into this fear. Donald Trump is a symptom. The liberals are the disease. Immigrants
00:09:20.460
now another symptom. The liberals are the disease. They're the common thread through all these things,
00:09:24.940
but the liberals use these things to great effect. The conservatives will be labeled as racist or even
00:09:29.980
worse, as I mentioned earlier about Daniel Smith and that video I did yesterday.
00:09:33.660
But look at immigrants being the new Trump here because it's already getting played up online
00:09:40.540
and it's spreading everywhere. Let me know what you think in the comments. If you liked the video,
