Hi there, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is the 1st of January, 2025. Happy New Year
00:00:07.080
to you. It is 4.57 a.m. The big blue mug of coffee, my first cup of coffee for the new year.
00:00:15.080
And I'm going to give you a wish list of things I'd like to see happen over the next 12 months
00:00:22.100
here in Canada. And I would like to hear your thoughts. I put this list together, top 10 in
00:00:26.860
no particular order, very fast this morning. And I'm sure I missed some things. So let me know in
00:00:31.240
the comments what you think. And maybe I'll do a follow-up on this later this week if I get enough
00:00:36.960
suggestions. I originally thought about talking about the important politicians for Canada over
00:00:42.880
the last 12 months. I thought of three. Trudeau, okay. He's had a precipitous fall from grace over
00:00:49.160
the last 12 months. And what he does over the next little while will have a huge effect on Canada,
00:00:54.080
certainly. Pierre Polyev has been unbelievable. I don't think there's been a conservative politician
00:00:59.600
like him. Why are the conservatives doing so well in the polls? Why are they likely to win a huge
00:01:04.740
majority? Because Polyev has been outworking everybody. I don't think that's said enough.
00:01:10.240
He has simply been outworking the liberals and everybody else in government. And you have to hand
00:01:15.420
it to the Conservative Party itself, all the MPs. They have been on message. And the other person that's
00:01:20.900
been very important to Canada and will over the next several years is Donald Trump. He was only
00:01:25.820
re-elected in November. He's not even president. But he's having a huge effect on Canada right now.
00:01:31.800
And I think a golden age is coming for Canada and the United States. I think Trump and Polyev can do
00:01:36.900
big things for our two countries. Good things are about to happen. But what would I put on my wish list
00:01:42.540
for Canada? Okay, no particular order. Number one, as you know, lots of videos online about this. The
00:01:51.620
liberals at 16% in the polling. I want Polyev to make a statement and tell the liberals and the
00:01:58.800
Canadian people the liberals have no mandate to do anything in this country right now. And I'm talking
00:02:04.640
specifically about spending. I've said a couple of times on this channel, the liberals can spend a lot
00:02:11.160
of your money before they're finally out of office. And I want Polyev to say they have no mandate
00:02:15.880
to bribe people with their own money. And I'm thinking of things like loan forgiveness for
00:02:22.660
students. I think they would possibly try to throw that out to try to get students to vote for them.
00:02:26.980
No taxpayer-funded freebies for anyone. I want Polyev to say they have no mandate. If you're at 16%,
00:02:33.220
stop spending Canadians' money. Number two, a moratorium on all immigration. Not a slowing down,
00:02:41.140
like the liberals are doing. Not a cutting back, but an absolute trickle of immigration to this
00:02:46.740
country. It is a huge problem for us right now. We've brought too many people in over the last
00:02:51.020
several years, and we need to get things down to virtually nothing. If people are here illegally,
00:02:57.120
you give them plane tickets. If they are overstaying their welcome, you put them in jail. Only clear
00:03:04.140
cases that are legitimate right now, but right down to a trickle when it comes to immigration.
00:03:08.720
Number three, the end of all thoughts of net zero. No more pandering to the climate cult. This should
00:03:16.240
be an easy one to do with the guy in the White House right now. No net zero. Number four, allow
00:03:23.080
people to choose the car they want to drive. This kind of falls in line with number three, but the plan
00:03:28.860
to phase out gas-powered vehicles by 2035 has got to end. Let the market decide. The current government
00:03:36.240
says by 2035 there will be no gas-powered vehicles sold in this country. That's only 10 years away.
00:03:42.280
It's a pipe dream. It's not going to happen. Number five, a commitment from Polyev to end the
00:03:48.060
experimentation on all confused children. Drugs and surgeries for little kids must stop. Other
00:03:53.900
Western countries have already done this. We have not done this here in Canada. It has to be a
00:03:59.160
commitment from Polyev, and I think that needs to be done sooner before later. Number six, he has been
00:04:06.340
saying to fund the CBC. I'll believe it when I see it, but it gets the biggest cheers when he says
00:04:12.480
it at his rallies. I was at one here in Calgary at Spruce Meadows. Get it done. Get it done early in
00:04:18.860
your mandate. That way the pain will happen early, and a lot of it will be forgotten before the next
00:04:23.940
election. Create a doge. That is number seven on my list. A Department of Government Efficiency. I've
00:04:30.360
talked about this in previous videos. I think Kevin O'Leary would be a person to lead up Canada's
00:04:36.760
doge. Start saving money immediately by cutting the federal payroll. We've heard so much about how
00:04:43.100
the government has grown by 40% since Trudeau. It can be cut by up to 40%. Do it early. Hand the pink
00:04:50.720
slips out early. Again, like I said when it came to the CBC. Do it early in your mandate. Make the pain
00:04:57.260
happen early before we get to another election. Number eight, demand merit-based hiring in government
00:05:04.160
and demand all companies doing business with the government do the same. It's the best person for
00:05:10.780
the job. I don't care what you look like, how you sound. If you're the best for the job, you get it.
00:05:15.740
No job hiring in government based on DEI. Hiring people based on skin color, gender, sexual orientation,
00:05:25.780
or immutable characteristics. That is not equity. That is bigotry, and that is racism, and that's
00:05:31.580
what's been happening in our government. Number nine, a commitment by the government to Canada's
00:05:37.420
history. Sure, we have our warts here in this country, but there's a reason why people come to
00:05:43.940
Canada in great numbers. It's because we are better, because we are good, because our culture
00:05:49.760
is better. No more pandering to Marxists who want to erase our history to try to tear our country
00:05:56.260
apart. And number 10, I would love to see, and this is a tough one, a change to the Charter of Rights
00:06:02.580
and Freedoms. Eliminate Section 1. It's also known as the Limitations Clause. That allows the government
00:06:09.460
to suspend your rights whenever it pleases. Think of the convoy in Ottawa a few years ago.
00:06:17.020
This will ensure freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of belief, freedom of expression.
00:06:24.200
Your rights are absolute. They cannot be written off in a number of bills starting with C. And I'm
00:06:30.200
talking about C11 and C12 and C36. The government is trying to get rid of your rights. They are absolute.
00:06:36.720
So that's my wish list. I think I went through all 10. What do you think? I'd like to hear your
00:06:41.760
thoughts on this. If you've got any more you'd like to see happen as we see a new government and
00:06:46.140
a new year before us, let me know about it. I appreciate you watching. See you in the next one.
