00:00:00.040 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 4.32 a.m. on Sunday, March the 23rd, with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:07.400 And I hope you're having a great day. Today, an election is expected to be called.
00:00:11.800 It will be the most consequential election of my lifetime, and probably yours as well.
00:00:17.280 And as we get closer to the campaign, the Liberals, all of a sudden, along with Mark Carney, have changed everything they believe in.
00:00:23.880 They want to make Canada a superpower after preventing it for 9 to 10 years, and making your life miserable, and making life harder.
00:00:31.500 They want to open an energy and trade corridor. They've made an agreement with the premiers, and they've completely given up on their religion, which is net zero, and climate change.
00:00:41.480 But they haven't, but people are buying it.
00:00:44.200 They're making this about Donald Trump, and I'll say it once again, the reason we're in this situation is because of the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:00:51.060 Who is Mark Carney? Well, he's gaslighting Canadians, and again, they are believing him.
00:00:57.040 And it looks like the polls, at this point, have it neck and neck between the Liberals and Conservatives.
00:01:01.960 Amazing, after the destruction of the last 9 to 10 years.
00:01:06.140 I put this little video together. I hope you'll share it. I'm quite proud of the way it came out. I really am.
00:01:12.640 I hope this will go viral. If you like it, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications.
00:01:19.640 This is the last you're going to see of me. Have yourself a great day, and I hope you enjoy this short video.
00:01:25.620 This will make a difference to hard-pressed Canadians, but it is part of a much bigger set of measures that this government is taking to ensure that we fight against climate change,
00:01:38.800 that our companies are competitive, and the country moves forward.
00:01:42.260 So it's my honor, on behalf of my colleagues, to sign this order.
00:01:45.800 Now, so far, carbon prices have been applied sparingly. They've been set far too low.
00:01:56.380 Single digits, on average, globally, well shorted the estimated $8,200 a ton needed by the end of this decade to keep us on track to net zero.
00:02:06.100 Now, so far, carbon prices have been applied sparingly. They've been set far too low.
00:02:11.740 I see myself as part of the social movement. I think those at the vanguard of the social movement might see me as being farther behind.
00:02:29.060 And I've, you know, full, absolutely full credit, and I do in the book, to Greta Thunberg, who I've had the pleasure of meeting several times.
00:02:38.880 And from a world of ESG, sustainability, broader conversations around, as I say, sustainability, to a relentless focus on net zero.
00:02:50.300 It's called the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero for a reason.
00:02:52.700 You know, the oil and gas sector in Canada produces more than a quarter of our emissions, and that's in the production and transportation of oil and gas, not the actual use of oil and gas.
00:03:02.220 Gas in our cars used to heat some homes and other things.
00:03:05.900 So we can't meet our ultimate objectives, which is to get to net zero emissions, which, by the way, is what we have to do to prevent the wildfires and the other climatic events from getting worse.
00:03:22.700 And yet your company has invested billions of dollars in oil companies in both Brazil and the UAE to buy pipelines.
00:03:37.080 You've bought billions of dollars of pipelines as a company in the last five years. Do you support those investments?
00:03:44.320 Mr. Polyev, there is a global energy system, and one of the issues, I'm trying to explain a bit of how the economy works.
00:03:53.700 Thank you so much.
00:03:55.080 Well, it may help.
00:03:57.840 One of the issues for this committee in thinking about a sustainable transition.
00:04:01.860 Do you support it?
00:04:02.480 Where is Canada's role in those as energy transitions from fossil fuels to renewables?
00:04:10.300 And in different jurisdictions, into geography, it matters.
00:04:14.800 It matters.
00:04:15.400 And this is a fundamental point.
00:04:17.320 I'm sorry, this is a fundamental point.
00:04:18.620 You're finally getting to a point that is relevant to this committee's inquiry.
00:04:24.700 What you're saying is you oppose pipelines in Canada, but you support them in the UAE and in Brazil.
00:04:31.180 That's what you've actually said.
00:04:32.720 They're a specific pipeline.
00:04:33.600 That's your double standard.
00:04:34.980 It is not a double standard.
00:04:36.260 It is a double standard.
00:04:37.140 No, it's not.
00:04:37.640 You make billions of dollars off foreign pipelines, and you shut them down here at home, putting our people out of work.
00:04:43.100 Meet Tony Coriannis and Kenneth Phillips.
00:04:56.960 They both used to be coal miners in the United States until their careers were halted by black lung.
00:05:02.780 Why should this matter to Canadians? 0.86
00:05:04.380 Well, because Mark Carney's company, Brookfield, was making money off the backs of these gentlemen, and many like them.
00:05:11.440 With Carney at the helm, Brookfield launched Brookfield Reinsurance, an insurance division operating out of Bermuda, free from Canadian regulations and taxes.
00:05:21.880 One of the big strategic initiatives that Brookfield has taken in the last few years is to build an insurance business.
00:05:30.760 In 2023, Brookfield bought Rockwood's parent company, Argo Group, for 1.1 billion U.S. dollars.
00:05:37.920 Despite Carney's insistence on everyone else getting off coal, with Rockwood, he was making money by denying black lung treatments and benefits to sick coal miners and their families.
00:05:49.940 We know that Mr. Carney's company abuses workers.
00:05:55.200 They bust unions.
00:05:56.640 They invested in companies that busted unions.
00:05:59.740 He also, in a very tragic case, one of the insurance arm of Carney's company, Brookfield, profited by denying the insurance claims of coal miners dying from black lung.
00:06:14.540 These are workers who, by breathing in dust in the ground, became extremely sick, and when they went to get the insurance that they had paid for, they were denied by Carney's, the company that does the insurance for Brookfield.
00:06:33.300 They profited off that, in fact, this company lost in court, the court found that the company was wrong.
00:06:41.820 Now, Mr. Carney needs to tell us is he still invested in a company that abuses workers' rights and denies coal miners and their widows the benefits that they deserve.
00:07:03.300 Today, I am announcing that a common-sense, Canada-first conservative government will repeal the entire carbon tax, including the federal backstop that requires provinces impose industrial taxes.
00:07:23.620 There will be no taxes on consumers, no taxes on Canadian industries.
00:07:33.300 Now, so far, carbon prices have been applied sparingly, but have been set far too low.
