Summary

Mark Carney's carbon tax cut rate to zero, neutralizing unpopular policy before a possible election. The gesture marked a stark departure from how Canadian leaders have typically done business in the past, and was reminiscent of a scene Canadians are most used to seeing south of the border.

00:00:00.320 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is 2.52 a.m. I swear to God, there's the time on my watch.
00:00:08.760 Beware the Ides of March. It is March the 15th, Saturday, with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:13.500 And what the hell am I doing up at 2.52 a.m.? Generally, I sleep at least until 3 o'clock.
00:00:19.160 Why am I sitting in front of this camera right now?
00:00:21.020 Well, because I woke up bothered by something this morning, a little bit incensed, pissed off.
00:00:26.800 I'm not the angry old man. I've said that here before, but I needed to get this done early this morning.
00:00:33.020 If you could share this, I'd appreciate it. Make sure you tag Pure Poly Evident, okay?
00:00:37.520 Because I think that's important. So I'm going to start off by telling you a fable, all right?
00:00:41.460 Now, some of you are going to get the reference right off the bat.
00:00:46.100 So there's these two politicians, okay, just before an election.
00:00:51.180 Politician number one has been fighting against a specific tax for many, many years.
00:00:55.560 In fact, his phrase has been, axe the tax.
00:00:58.940 Politician number two has been for this tax for years, has encouraged it to be higher,
00:01:04.720 and has said that this tax has been too low.
00:01:07.580 But just as an election campaign is about to start,
00:01:10.620 politician number two decides to get rid of the tax.
00:01:14.380 And politician number one says to politician number two,
00:01:17.140 why are you getting rid of this tax now?
00:01:20.080 You've been for it for years.
00:01:21.300 And politician number two says, because it's not good for taxpayers.
00:01:25.560 So they go through, all the way through the election campaign,
00:01:29.220 and at the end of the election campaign, politician number two,
00:01:32.720 he raises the tax back up after winning the election.
00:01:37.740 And politician number one says to politician number two,
00:01:40.940 you said that this tax wasn't good for taxpayers.
00:01:44.580 Why are you raising the tax once again?
00:01:46.800 And politician number two says, because it's in my nature.
00:01:52.760 Now, some of you will know that that is the fable of the fox and the scorpion,
00:01:56.820 but that is Pierre Polyev and Mark Carney.
00:01:59.520 And you get what I'm talking about here.
00:02:02.560 I saw something yesterday that absolutely pissed me off.
00:02:06.540 And here it is right here.
00:02:07.500 It's a five-second clip.
00:02:09.000 So that's the new prime minister of Canada, not my prime minister,
00:02:18.980 signing away the consumer carbon tax yesterday.
00:02:22.560 Do you know what a Potemkin village is?
00:02:26.000 It's on the screen.
00:02:28.420 A Potemkin village refers to a construction or situation
00:02:31.720 that is designed to create a deceptive facade,
00:02:34.720 making things appear better than they actually are.
00:02:37.620 And that's what yesterday was when he signed away the consumer carbon tax.
00:02:43.840 By the way, Carney is the scorpion in my story off the top of this video this morning.
00:02:49.320 So I go to the National Post this morning.
00:02:52.760 Carney cuts carbon tax rate to zero,
00:02:55.160 neutralizing unpopular policy before possible campaign.
00:02:59.540 The gesture marked a stark departure from how Canadian leaders have typically done business
00:03:03.960 and was reminiscent of a scene Canadians are most used to seeing south of the border.
00:03:08.840 And from that article,
00:03:11.320 Carney invited cameras into the cabinet room on Parliament Hill Friday afternoon
00:03:15.300 to watch him sign a document zeroing out the tax rate.
00:03:19.820 The gesture marked a stark departure from how Canadian leaders have typically done business in the past
00:03:25.200 and was reminiscent of a scene Canadians are most used to seeing south of the border
00:03:29.260 as U.S. President Donald Trump routinely invites media into the Oval Office
00:03:34.680 to watch him sign executive orders.
00:03:36.300 So what do they say?
00:03:37.460 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?
00:03:39.680 Well, Mark Carney, he was flattering Donald Trump yesterday by doing that.
00:03:43.820 But that was a Potemkin village, folks.
00:03:47.080 It was a facade.
00:03:48.300 I'm going to get to Pierre Polyev in just a moment.
00:03:53.960 But I want to talk about Mr. Polyev.
00:03:55.720 Remember when Mr. Polyev last summer tried to save you a little bit of money
00:04:00.260 and suggested maybe we could get rid of the carbon tax over the summertime
00:04:04.260 because it was driving up gas prices?
00:04:06.640 And a lunatic named Mark Holland stood up in the House of Commons and said this.
00:04:12.040 You can take a summer fun time vacation where you're locked in a car
00:04:16.260 for 10 consecutive days non-stop with no bathroom breaks
00:04:20.260 and the Conservatives have a plan for you to have that summertime fun
00:04:23.400 and the cost?
00:04:24.580 Give up the future of the planet.
00:04:27.140 Don't worry, kids, about climate change.
00:04:30.300 Don't worry about taking action on the planet.
00:04:33.280 Enjoy your 10 hours in the car and let the planet burn.
00:04:37.800 That absolute ass Mark Holland yesterday mocking Pierre Polyev
00:04:42.420 for trying to save you a little bit of money.
00:04:45.000 Sticking the finger in the eye of Canadian taxpayers
00:04:49.800 who've been abused by this tax for year after year after year after year after year after year.
00:04:58.340 And you know what's even worse?
00:04:59.900 There are people who believe what Carney did yesterday
00:05:02.080 is what he actually wanted to do.
00:05:04.680 It was a facade.
00:05:06.560 What did Plato say?
00:05:07.660 Those who are too smart to engage in politics
00:05:11.560 are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.
00:05:14.620 People are not paying attention.
00:05:16.620 They think the Liberals are their saviour and they're not.
00:05:20.840 And getting to Pierre Polyev, this is what he tweets.
00:05:23.520 Check this out.
00:05:24.460 Carbon tax carny, boy is that getting boring,
00:05:27.340 is pausing the carbon tax until after the election
00:05:30.160 when he no longer needs your vote but still needs your money.
00:05:33.280 He's flip-flopping on his beliefs to trick Canadians into a fourth Liberal government.
00:05:38.360 If Carney wins, Canada loses.
00:05:40.240 I like if Carney wins, Canada loses.
00:05:42.340 But Mr. Balia, for God's sakes,
00:05:44.720 I'm going over old ground.
00:05:46.140 I only was here about a week ago.
00:05:47.960 But for God's sakes,
00:05:49.160 the only reason the tax is down is because of you.
00:05:52.620 Take credit for it.
00:05:57.180 For God's sakes,
00:06:00.000 this is a big win for you.
00:06:02.380 The tax is gone because of you.
00:06:05.120 Axe the tax.
00:06:07.360 They wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for you.
00:06:10.640 Walk out in front of the cameras.
00:06:12.160 Be condescending as hell.
00:06:14.400 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:06:16.040 I and the Conservative Party of Canada
00:06:18.100 would like to take credit for what Mr. Carney did yesterday
00:06:21.200 by axing the tax.
00:06:22.660 After two years of telling the government
00:06:24.860 to get rid of this punishing tax,
00:06:26.720 they finally did what we said.
00:06:29.280 We would like to take credit for this
00:06:31.160 because we have finally achieved our goal.
00:06:33.740 And then tell people what Carney's going to do
00:06:35.800 after the next election.
00:06:37.560 And it's going to be worse.
00:06:39.240 For God's sakes, Mr. Poliev,
00:06:41.480 take credit for this.
00:06:42.880 You need to take credit for a lot of the things
00:06:44.780 you've done over the years.
00:06:45.800 The Liberals finally started addressing
00:06:50.560 car theft because of you.
00:06:52.900 They finally started addressing immigration
00:06:55.160 because of you.
00:06:56.580 They finally started talking about housing costs
00:06:59.300 because of you.
00:07:00.900 Get off the defensive.
00:07:02.560 Get on the offensive.
00:07:04.120 Stop being negative
00:07:05.700 and start being positive with people.
00:07:07.940 You did this carbon tax thing, Mr. Poliev.
00:07:11.200 For God's sakes, take credit for it.
00:07:13.320 And I'm sorry for going over this again.
00:07:15.660 I only did it about a week ago,
00:07:17.460 but it's even more crucial that you do it now
00:07:19.920 and do it today.
00:07:21.900 Stop being so damn negative.
00:07:26.940 Folks, we're that far away from total destruction
00:07:30.180 if this Liberal Party wins again.
00:07:33.420 We're going to have an election sometime before November.
00:07:36.900 And you saw them all laughing in the background yesterday.
00:07:39.840 They're in total control here.
00:07:41.300 Well, I certainly should expect to go to the polls
00:07:44.600 before November.
00:07:46.700 The country's out of control.
00:07:51.160 Carney's off to Europe instead of talking to Donald Trump.
00:07:53.780 They need the Trump thing to keep going on.
00:07:56.300 So the punishment's going to continue for months.
00:08:00.320 They don't want that to end.
00:08:03.360 But people are too stupid to engage in politics
00:08:06.580 in this country
00:08:07.880 and are going to vote Liberal.
00:08:10.340 Tell me what you think.
