00:00:00.120 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 427 AM on Wednesday, February the 19th with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:07.660 So important this morning because it's hot.
00:00:11.200 I'm going to tell you how cold it is in Calgary in just a moment, but I have a very, very important question.
00:00:16.860 Do not click away from this video.
00:00:18.800 If you're a Canadian citizen, you need to be asking this question as well.
00:00:23.160 If you don't live in Canada, you need to ask the question, what the hell are we doing here in Canada?
00:00:28.040 Why are we in this precarious predicament right now?
00:00:32.400 Stay tuned for my question.
00:00:34.240 So I wake up this morning, I check the temperature and here it is from Environment Canada, minus 27 Celsius right now in Calgary.
00:00:42.220 And I read the other day that it has been the coldest February, I think, ever in Calgary.
00:00:48.940 It has been weeks of really cold temperatures here.
00:00:51.880 And right now my furnace is running and it is the only thing between me being alive and me being dead right now.
00:00:59.040 And it runs on natural gas.
00:01:00.660 And most of the people here in Calgary, I think most of the people in the country, heat our homes with natural gas.
00:01:07.520 With the current situation with the Liberal Party of Canada being concerned about the cost of living for Canadians,
00:01:15.920 being concerned about high prices for Canadians, they seem to be all of a sudden really concerned about those things.
00:01:21.180 And all of them saying they're going to scrap the carbon tax.
00:01:24.880 Here is my question.
00:01:26.180 Why am I still paying a carbon tax on my heating right now?
00:01:29.880 When they finally get back to their jobs in Parliament after the prorogation,
00:01:36.100 it will almost be too late for me to save any money on my heat.
00:01:38.940 But right now I can hear the carbon tax clicking away.
00:01:41.960 And everybody who uses natural gas or fossil fuels across this country,
00:01:45.800 with the exception of the Atlantic provinces who got a car vote last year,
00:01:49.280 we're all still paying our carbon tax.
00:01:51.040 Why?
00:01:53.780 The Liberals thought it was just fine to have a GST holiday for a couple of months
00:01:57.800 because they wanted to help out Canadians.
00:02:00.240 And from what I understand, it really didn't help all that much.
00:02:03.060 I don't think it helped me at all.
00:02:05.320 But it would really help me if I didn't have to pay my carbon tax.
00:02:08.300 And if the Liberals are so against the carbon tax, why am I still paying it right now?
00:02:15.260 Don't you think that's a fair question?
00:02:17.520 They are still the government, are they not?
00:02:20.960 Truro can write checks and give them off to other countries like it's nothing,
00:02:25.140 like he's handing out candy.
00:02:26.400 But he can't just say, you know, we don't want the carbon tax anymore because we don't like it.
00:02:31.640 The only reason they don't like it is because it's not convenient right now.
00:02:35.400 But why am I paying carbon tax on my heating right now?
00:02:38.420 Or for my gas for that matter?
00:02:40.040 Or for anything for that matter?
00:02:41.700 And all the prices I have to pay extra on top of things because everything has a carbon tax on it.
00:02:47.460 That's a fair question, isn't it?
00:02:49.840 Now we know why, because the Liberals are for a carbon tax.
00:02:53.120 Carney's for a carbon tax.
00:02:55.360 His carbon tax will be bigger than the one we've got right now.
00:02:58.000 You just won't see it when you pay for it when you get your gas.
00:03:00.940 You just won't see it on your bill.
00:03:02.380 But everything will go up even more because he's going to tax the people who make everything
00:03:06.620 and put tariffs on everything that comes into this country.
00:03:10.700 Why am I paying carbon tax right now?
00:03:13.780 And we know what the Liberals and the NDP and the Greens are all about.
00:03:17.560 They're all about green energy.
00:03:19.080 That's what Carney did.
00:03:20.940 He headed up the WEF climate cult.
00:03:24.040 They're all about windmills and solar panels.
00:03:28.220 Here is Corey Morgan here in Calgary yesterday.
00:03:31.720 Check out this video.
00:03:33.320 A little global warming.
00:03:35.380 Minus 25, but hey, well, not much breeze, so the windmills won't keep us warm.
00:03:41.020 But, oh, look at that Calgary solar project.
00:03:44.480 What's the problem here?
00:03:46.520 That's the issue?
00:03:47.880 Oh, yeah.
00:03:49.060 Won't generate any power until, I guess, somebody sweeps all those off.
00:03:54.900 Looks like somebody blasted a vehicle through the fence, though, and smashed it into the
00:03:59.820 solar panels up there.
00:04:00.840 So now we've got a full-time security guy hanging around, too, while it generates nothing.
00:04:05.960 I wonder how many subsidies went into this beauty.
00:04:07.920 This is in the middle of Calgary, by the way.
00:04:10.200 All right, folks, just be sure to always thank God for oil and gas.
00:04:13.640 It's keeping you alive right now.
00:04:15.560 I'm not sure exactly where Corey was.
00:04:17.700 Corey's with the Western Standard.
00:04:19.220 Follow him on X.
00:04:20.540 Go over and get a subscription to the Western Standard.
00:04:23.180 I'm not sure exactly where he was in Calgary, because that's where he is.
00:04:27.000 But about four kilometers from where I live, at 114th Avenue and 52nd Street in the southeast
00:04:32.080 of Calgary, there's a huge solar panel farm I drove by the other day, completely covered
00:04:36.620 in snow.
00:04:38.260 And he's right.
00:04:39.260 Wind's not helping us.
00:04:40.480 It hasn't been all that windy.
00:04:41.640 But the liberals say they're against carbon taxing you, and they're not.
00:04:48.320 They're all for the things that won't keep you warm.
00:04:51.340 The furnace in this house is the only thing that's keeping me from freezing to death.
00:04:55.780 And my wife and my cats and everybody in the city from freezing to death right now when
00:04:59.900 it runs on gas.
00:05:01.280 And I'm being taxed on it to the hilt.
00:05:03.500 Why am I still paying a carbon tax, Mr. Carney and Mr. Trudeau and Ms. Freeland?
00:05:10.340 Why?
00:05:11.380 You can just wave your magic wand and get rid of the GST for two months.
