Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is Tuesday, November 26th, just before 5 o'clock,
00:00:05.520
enjoying a cup of coffee this morning down in my basement. A couple of articles came to my
00:00:10.180
attention this morning. One on the National Post website, the other on the True North website,
00:00:15.180
and they are related. Now, the one on the National Post website will be the big story today. It will
00:00:19.660
lead the news today in Canada. And here it is. Trump says he'll impose 25% tariff on all products
00:00:26.340
from Canada, Mexico, until borders are secured. Now, if you follow the U.S. election at all,
00:00:31.880
you know that the border was a huge part of Donald Trump's election plans, and he won based on the
00:00:38.140
economy and the southern border, securing the border, particularly to the south. Now, if you read any of
00:00:43.840
the comments on this story, almost a thousand of them now, many of them will say people like myself
00:00:50.320
should feel like an idiot for supporting Donald Trump because this is the type of thing Trump's
00:00:54.440
going to do that will hurt Canada. To which I replied, I don't think this is going to hurt Canada
00:00:59.700
at all. Now, let me explain. I think this issue will be addressed by the Canadian government before
00:01:04.520
Donald Trump reaches Inauguration Day. They're going to have to pay attention to this, or it's
00:01:09.620
going to hurt in a big way. The other way, the reason why I think this is a good thing is because
00:01:14.080
the border will be secured, because borders go both ways. And we've got a problem with too many people
00:01:19.480
coming to this country illegally or seeking asylum, which brings me to the second story,
00:01:24.540
written by Isaac Lamoureux of True North. Let me read a couple of paragraphs of this article.
00:01:30.840
Asylum seekers to Canada have reached a record high and will cost Canadian taxpayers billions of
00:01:35.180
dollars each year to house and accommodate them. Deputy Chair of the Refugee Protection Division,
00:01:40.580
Rula Atreides, said it currently takes 14 months for a case to be processed with the division.
00:01:45.640
However, she said that the division was funded for 60,000 cases this year, but intake has risen
00:01:51.840
to over 200,000 claims, resulting in a wait time of 44 months. Quote, they're allowed to get a job.
00:02:00.040
They're allowed to get health care. They're allowed to stay in our country. Out of the 200,000 new
00:02:05.380
referrals, 70% are just within this year. So all the changes Mark Miller has made, Mark Miller is the
00:02:11.760
immigration minister, have actually made and led to this crisis, said Kana. An average refugee costs
00:02:18.460
taxpayers $82,000 per refugee per year. So how much is this costing on an annual basis for just these
00:02:27.280
200,000 people? Well, do the math. $82,000 times 200,000 is $16 billion that Canadian taxpayers are
00:02:36.620
shelling out for asylum seekers. And I put the quotes around it because a lot of these people
00:02:41.640
are not asylum seekers. They're coming here because Canada is giving them $82,000 in housing,
00:02:48.520
healthcare, and probably giving them money to stay here as well. The average Canadian makes $71,000 a
00:02:54.700
year in their salary. So we're giving more to refugees by $11,000 than Canadians are making every
00:03:00.040
year. This is insane. And you know, Pierre Polyev, and I mentioned this yesterday, Pierre Polyev needs to
00:03:04.840
focus on the carbon tax, but how it is personally affecting each person when they pay for their gas.
00:03:10.260
He keeps saying they're tripling the carbon tax. No, here's how much it is actually costing you.
00:03:14.120
That hits home. Pierre Polyev needs to talk about this. Now, immigration is a little more on the radar
00:03:19.480
because of him. Trudeau, just a few weeks ago, said that immigration is a problem and there are bad
00:03:24.840
actors involved in this. He's the bad actor. He's responsible for this and his immigration minister,
00:03:29.200
Mark Miller. But Polyev has forced the government to act on a couple of issues, one of them being car
00:03:34.040
theft. Trudeau wasn't thinking about that. And the other one is housing. There's no place to live in this
00:03:39.160
country anymore. Trudeau said 18 months ago that it wasn't a federal responsibility. Housing. It is now
00:03:45.200
because Polyev made it an issue. And one of the reasons we haven't got any housing here and prices for
00:03:51.880
rent and homes has gone through the roof is because of this issue. 200,000 asylum seekers. A lot of these
00:03:57.820
people are not seeking asylum. They're seeking $82,000 a year. There are organizations within
00:04:04.560
Canada that look for people like this. Come here. You live in a crappy country. You haven't got any
00:04:09.120
rights over there. You're trying to scrape by. Canada, they'll put you up in a house, give you
00:04:12.740
health care to the tune of $82,000 a year. These people live in high in the hog while Canadian taxpayers
00:04:17.720
are paying for it. This needs to stop. And 14,000 people who are considered asylum seekers on this list,
00:04:25.580
according to this article, are students. But their visas have run out. And they have to leave.
00:04:32.320
Claim asylum. Canada will pay for you. Stay here. 44 months. That's almost four years.
00:04:40.500
Right? This is not a big enough issue. Now Donald Trump, day one, is going to deport people out of
00:04:47.600
the United States. They are there illegally. And we have a lot of illegal people. Apparently 1.2 million
00:04:52.000
people came across our borders who didn't belong here last year and the year before. 1.2 million
00:04:57.740
people in a country of only 40 million. The words deportation will never cross the lips of Pierre
00:05:05.160
Paglia. But he should make a point of saying, listen, if you're in this country and you're seeking
00:05:09.280
asylum and you're not coming from a country where your life's in danger or it's a war zone,
00:05:13.060
you need to leave. And these students who are getting to stay here, paid for by Canadian
00:05:20.420
taxpayers, you need to leave now. When I become Prime Minister, you're going to leave. And we're
00:05:27.680
going to fast track you right out of the country. The reason why Paulie isn't making more of an
00:05:33.760
issue of this is because he's afraid of being called a racist. Donald Trump wasn't afraid of being
00:05:38.900
called a racist. And he won a massive landslide in his election. This is huge. That's ridiculous.
00:05:46.960
People are coming here because we're easy. 82 grand a year. No big deal. It is. This needs to stop.
