John Bolton - Mark Carney voted for another CARBON TAX - Guess who STOPPED it？

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 457 AM. I hope you're having a great start to your

00:00:08.320 Saturday, October the 18th. Great start to your weekend as well. I tip my big blue mug of coffee

00:00:13.280 to you. I hope you have a great weekend. I want to get right to the heart of the matter with this

00:00:18.040 by asking two questions, which I'll answer in just a moment. Are you aware that Mark Carney,

00:00:24.060 the Liberal Party and the government of Canada just voted in favor of another carbon tax on you?

00:00:30.000 And do you know who stopped it from happening? You're going to love this. So on the screen right

00:00:36.660 now, you can see two words. And I'm not going to say those two words because what happens is when

00:00:43.500 I say those words, YouTube AI flags this video and it doesn't get recommended to people. In essence,

00:00:49.920 they're censoring what I have to say here. So I'm going to do the best I can. I might slip up in this

00:00:55.440 video, but whenever I see words similar to that, I'm going to refer to it as the cult or cult.

00:01:02.160 Okay. So the two words on the screen you're seeing right now are the reason why

00:01:05.780 we can't have nice things in Canada. I can't have nice things where I live here in my province of

00:01:12.320 Alberta because of that. The Liberals are the other reason and the Liberals embracing the cult

00:01:17.380 are the big reason why we don't have nice things. We don't get pipelines to the West Coast because

00:01:22.840 David Evie is part of the cult. We don't get pipelines to the East Coast because Wob Canoe 0.97

00:01:29.680 in Manitoba is part of the cult. Mark Carney is part of the cult. They're all cult numbers. This

00:01:34.960 is why we can't have nice things. This is why we're not rich. This is why I want to leave,

00:01:39.420 meaning Alberta. So how did Mark Carney, the Liberal government, and the Government of Canada vote in

00:01:47.680 favor of a new carbon tax on you? Well, there's this right here from a website called GCaptain.

00:01:53.520 Inside Trump's pressure campaign to derail global shipping emissions tax, Donald Trump saved you

00:01:59.480 from another carbon tax. He saved the world from another carbon tax. This guy is doing great work

00:02:06.840 here. Thank you, Mr. President. Let me read a little bit of this for you. Environmentalists eager to curb

00:02:13.940 planet warming pollution from shipping had grown increasingly confident that countries would adopt

00:02:18.520 the first ever global tax on emissions this year. But those predicting success failed to fully account

00:02:24.220 for President Donald Trump harnessing the might of the U.S. against it. On Friday, Nations in a meeting

00:02:29.940 of the U.N.'s International Maritime Organization voted to delay by one year a decision on the landmark

00:02:35.400 measure that would force large vessels to curb emissions or potentially incur fees of $380 per ton.

00:02:43.240 Which would be passed down to you, and no doubt that price would go up.

00:02:48.820 The outcome was, in part, the culmination of a months-long campaign by U.S. officials, including

00:02:54.140 diplomats and cabinet members, as well as the president himself, to fight the fee they decried

00:02:59.780 as an untenable global carbon tax. Quote, President Trump saved America from the outrageous cult scam

00:03:07.000 that was killing our country, and he has long warned others to abandon this destructive agenda

00:03:12.120 before it's too late. Unquote. White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said by email,

00:03:17.540 quote, stopping this disastrous vote is a massive win for the American people and countries around

00:03:23.300 the world that cannot afford to bend the knee to bogus cult demands any longer. Unquote.

00:03:29.120 European nations and the U.K. were among those who had supported the regulations in April

00:03:33.580 when they received preliminary approval, but were on the losing side of Friday's 57-49 vote in favor

00:03:39.740 of postponement. So how did Canada vote on this? Here's an article. Let me just run up to the top

00:03:44.860 here so you can read the headline. I'll just read a little bit of this for you. Global News,

00:03:50.620 a spokesperson for Transport Canada told Global News on Thursday that the government was supportive

00:03:56.500 of the regulations, but did not address concerns about potential U.S. retaliation amid Canada's trade

00:04:02.160 and security negotiations with the Trump administration. Quote, as a founding member

00:04:07.940 of the International Maritime Organization, Canada is working with the international partners to advance

00:04:12.420 cult action in the international shipping sector. Unquote. Spokesperson Heik Ham Ayun said in a

00:04:18.560 statement, the government of Canada has and will continue to work closely with the United States

00:04:23.140 on marine shipping. So basically, Trump said, impose this on shipping and there'll be more tariffs.

00:04:27.440 So he saved us from a carbon tax. This is what he put, I think this is on True Social, what he wrote,

00:04:34.000 I'm outraged that the International Maritime Organization is voting in London this week to

00:04:37.900 pass a global carbon tax. The United States will not stand for this global green new scam tax on

00:04:43.700 shipping and will not adhere to it in any way, shape, or form. We will not tolerate increased prices

00:04:49.560 on American consumers or the creation of a green new scam bureaucracy to spend your money on their

00:04:55.820 green dreams. Stand with the United States and vote no in London tomorrow. And they voted no,

00:05:01.960 at least for the next year. And what you need to understand here is that we're going to get more

00:05:07.260 of this in Canada. I've seen this coming for a long time. You've seen this coming a long time.

00:05:11.600 Here's the man right here that was the cult envoy for the United Nations. Pretend they're not there.

00:05:19.600 Canada won't submit to new cult targets, but won't commit to meeting them either. I want to read a

00:05:23.860 little bit of this for you. A closer look at how Carney, the two-time central banker turned one-time

00:05:31.520 cult envoy for the United Nations, plans to balance reducing emissions while attracting private sector

00:05:36.780 cash to help transform Canada into an energy superpower, may be clearer once he unveils his

00:05:42.840 promised cult competitiveness strategy. Expected to be released as soon as next week, the document is

00:05:49.480 not expected to be overly detailed. Rather, it is expected to highlight several parts of that

00:05:54.380 strategy, including carbon pricing for industries known by its technical name of the output-based

00:06:00.620 pricing system, which the liberals campaigned on strengthening. Clean power is expected to form

00:06:06.620 another part of that strategy, with investment tax credits being another possible plank. So you're

00:06:11.700 going to get a lot more of the cult from this government. It is coming, folks. The problem with

00:06:18.720 this is, Carney has a cult of his own. It's the people who vote for him, who blindly follow him no

00:06:24.680 matter what happens. Because one, they hate Donald Trump. Two, they hate Pierre Polyev. Three, they hate

00:06:30.960 people like myself who don't support him. So they will blindly follow him down this road that is a road to

00:06:36.680 ruin for the country. Let me refresh you on what former Prime Minister Stephen Harper said about this.

00:06:42.760 You talk about carbon taxes as well in the book. You're very critical of them. I am. And you don't think

00:06:48.320 that they can work. Is there ever such a thing as a conservative carbon tax? No. A carbon tax is not an

00:06:55.740 environmental policy. I said this when I was in office, I'll say it again. A carbon tax is not an environmental

00:07:00.920 policy. A carbon tax is about, is a revenue policy. People who want carbon taxes want money for the

00:07:07.020 government. The level of carbon tax you would have to have to actually have impact on usage of fuels and

00:07:16.100 emissions would be astronomically high. In fact, what appeals to a carbon tax for all politicians,

00:07:22.000 left, right and center, is that you know a carbon tax isn't going to affect behavior and therefore the

00:07:26.660 revenue stream from it is going to be very reliable. And it's going to be reliable over time. And as you know,

00:07:31.900 my conservatism and I have a strong view that conservatives have to be tax cutters and certainly never tax hikers.

00:07:37.720 And a carbon tax is just a tax hike. And frankly, I say I don't comment a lot on the current government, but we all

00:07:43.580 know that the current government wants a carbon tax because it can't raise the GST. And this is a backdoor way of

00:07:49.540 raising the GST. And I'm, look, I'm pleased to see in Canada that more and more people in various provinces are

00:07:54.620 figuring this out. So I think that was done when Trudeau was still the prime minister, but he talks

00:08:01.020 about changing behavior. That's what they want to do with you. They jack up prices on gas so you won't

00:08:05.220 drive as much. That's what the liberals want. They tell you, you can't drive gas powered vehicles

00:08:09.480 anymore. That's why they put in an EV mandate, which will come back eventually. Okay. So I think this is

00:08:16.920 great. Waking up this morning, we need to thank Donald Trump for saving us from another carbon tax

00:08:25.460 in this country that the Carney government is fully in favor of. He said many times before that carbon

00:08:31.400 taxes are too low. I'm not going to play the clip for you. I got a half a dozen of them where he says

00:08:35.800 that. The cult is about people who live large telling the rest of us how to live small. That's

00:08:46.260 my quote. Tell me what you think. Okay. If you like the video, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the

00:08:52.540 channel, ring the bell for notifications, and I will see you in the next one. Have a great weekend.

00:09:05.800 Thank you.
