00:00:00.320 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel just down in the basement, enjoying a cup of coffee
00:00:05.220 on November the 15th, doing some cleaning just before 6 o'clock, and I thought I'd take a break
00:00:10.620 to see what's going on in the world. And something has got my interest, something that could be
00:00:16.080 connected to Canada, or at least should be done here in Canada, which I'll get to in just a moment.
00:00:20.600 But if you're like me, you've been just loving what's happening in the United States over the
00:00:24.820 last week and a half since the election. And if you're not like me, you're likely a liberal and
00:00:28.680 you're under your bed right now, and you probably will be there for the next four years. But it's
00:00:33.200 the nominations of Donald Trump for positions in his government, and some of the choices have got
00:00:39.020 the left losing their minds. Yesterday, it was RFK Jr. at the Department of Health and Human Services.
00:00:46.860 I just can't imagine him doing that job. Funny, they had nothing to say about the current person
00:00:52.160 doing that job. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, just look it up. But other people
00:00:57.400 like Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Gaetz, brains are exploding over there.
00:01:05.820 Also, two people that the left absolutely hates now, and that would be Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:01:12.180 They've been chosen to head up the Department of Government Efficiency. Now, this department doesn't
00:01:17.860 even exist within the United States government. And I'm wondering at this point if it actually
00:01:22.040 officially will. Apparently, you have to jump through a lot of hoops, go through Congress and
00:01:26.580 whatnot, to create a new government, or a new department in the United States government.
00:01:31.520 So, I saw Vivek Ramaswamy on TV the other night, and they were asking about this. Apparently,
00:01:36.280 they're going to have a website, and they're going to be listing all the wasted money. And there's so
00:01:40.480 many grants and whatnot that go out of the door of the United States government that people are
00:01:44.760 paying for, taxpayers are paying for, that make absolutely no sense at all. And if you see some of
00:01:48.780 them, you just wonder, what the hell's going on? Of course, government gets bigger and bigger and bigger
00:01:52.780 all the time. And I think that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are going to do a great job at that.
00:01:58.500 Now, Ramaswamy also said the other night, this is the first department in U.S. history that has an
00:02:02.920 end date to it. They figure they're going to get a lot of this cutting done by July of 2026. And he said,
00:02:11.520 we're going to do it on a United States birthday, because it'll be 250 years old on July 4th,
00:02:16.420 2026. So I think that's fascinating. But this needs to be done in Canada. For God's sakes,
00:02:22.620 this needs to be done in Canada. Now, for those people who aren't in Canada, don't follow us very
00:02:28.240 much. I understand why. It probably sickens you to see Trudeau as the prime minstrel here
00:02:33.840 in Canada. And we've had him since 2015, and things are getting worse and worse and worse.
00:02:38.260 Just like a lot of Western countries, things are getting more expensive. We're going to have an
00:02:42.140 election here in October of 2025. That's the plan, at least. Okay. And we're going to have
00:02:48.980 a majority conservative government. And the head of the conservatives right now is Pierre Polyev.
00:02:54.400 And he's a great leader of the conservative party. And my thoughts for Pierre Polyev start up a
00:03:01.960 department of government efficiency in Canada, just like they've got in the United States. So just one
00:03:07.220 point here regarding Canada. Since Trudeau became prime minstrel back in 2015, the government has
00:03:14.680 grown by 40%. 40% more employees since 2015. Now, if you're a Canadian, you understand that services
00:03:23.280 are not getting better at all. They're getting worse. It's hard to get things done in this country.
00:03:28.780 Our healthcare is getting worse. You can't get passports. You go to try to get government services.
00:03:33.120 You've got to wait and wait and wait and wait. It takes forever. Yet we have 40% more people
00:03:38.420 working for the government. What are all these people doing? So somebody has to come in and look
00:03:42.620 at all the efficiency in our government, cut the money, and maybe we can make life more affordable
00:03:47.540 in this country, which is quickly becoming unaffordable. Now, do we have anybody? Really,
00:03:53.100 we don't have anybody of the stature of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramos. No, we do. We have Kevin O'Leary,
00:04:00.760 you know, the Shark Tank guy. He's, you know, I see him on Fox News, but he's on CNN. He does hits
00:04:06.420 all over the place, business networks and whatnot. A millionaire. He's a watch guy. I'm a watch guy.
00:04:12.400 Of course, he has a lot more expensive watches than me, but he's the guy that should head up the
00:04:17.880 Department of Government Efficiency in Canada. Pierre Polyev, if you see this, call Kevin O'Leary
00:04:23.120 and ask him if he wants the job. He'll probably do it for nothing, which I think Elon and Vivek are doing
00:04:28.420 in the United States. I think he would be perfect for the job. Maybe bring on somebody else to help
00:04:33.440 out and just cut, cut, cut, and save Canadians money, just like Donald Trump and Elon and Vivek
00:04:40.120 are doing in the United States. I think we need a Department of Government Efficiency here
00:04:44.700 in Canada. Thanks for watching.
