Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is Wednesday, October the 15th, 529 AM. I hope
00:00:09.000
you're having a great start to your day. I've got my big blue mug of coffee today.
00:00:13.860
And I want to talk about something I've noticed since the beginning of the year.
00:00:19.440
I think it was around January 15th or January 16th that Mark Carney announced he was running
00:00:24.860
for the liberal leadership. And I'm talking Canadian politics here.
00:00:27.940
And I've noticed this pattern, either planned or by blind luck, that allows the liberals
00:00:34.440
to completely separate themselves from any responsibility for anything that happens in
00:00:39.260
this country. And I know you're going to choose one thing, but I've seen four, maybe four and a
00:00:44.580
half different things that allow Mark Carney to wash his hands of any responsibility. Not my fault this
00:00:50.520
is happening. It's because of this. And again, it's either planned, which would be brilliant,
00:00:57.320
or it's blind luck that this has worked out in their favor. The problem is there's lots of
00:01:02.800
people who voted for the liberals that would continue to vote for the liberals today. So
00:01:05.940
I'm reading the story this morning that got me thinking about this. And it's this story. It's
00:01:10.080
about Stellantis. This is in Ontario. Stellantis backtracks on plans to build a Jeep model in
00:01:16.040
Ontario shifts to U.S. Stellantis announced Tuesday it will invest $13 billion U.S. over the next four
00:01:23.460
years to expand its manufacturing capacity in the U.S., a move that will take production of one model
00:01:29.140
out of Ontario, raising concern about Canadian jobs. Okay, so jobs have been lost in the automotive
00:01:34.940
industry in Ontario, continuing to be lost in the automotive industry in Ontario. And Carney follows it
00:01:40.900
up with this. Now, this is on X. Canada's new government will always be there for Canadian
00:01:45.980
auto workers. My statement on Stellantis' production plan. So he goes on here to blame Donald Trump.
00:01:53.180
Now, that's the first thing that allows Carney and the Liberal government to wash their hands of any
00:01:58.620
responsibility for anything in the country. But that's just the first thing. And it's a big thing.
00:02:02.580
More on that in just a moment. But it's the kicker in this explanation from Carney here about what
00:02:09.820
he's going to do to help Canadian autoworkers. First off, he's calling it a $5 billion strategic
00:02:14.740
response fund. That is welfare. It's another welfare program. Instead of these people having
00:02:20.880
jobs to go to, the government's going to put $5 billion in to bail them out. And God love the
00:02:27.020
autoworkers, but this is government incompetence. But this kind of stuff is going to be used to justify
00:02:33.020
what's coming up on November 4th. And that's the budget. And we'll give Carney and the Liberals cover
00:02:39.620
to not accept any responsibility at all. So the first thing, like I said, is Donald Trump. So
00:02:45.740
that's the first thing that came up. They used Donald Trump and hatred of Donald Trump to get
00:02:50.600
elected. Because no one in their right mind would ever vote for the Liberal Party after the 10 years
00:02:57.080
of continued decline here in Canada. But they did because they hated Donald Trump. It's given the
00:03:02.520
Liberals cover for everything. And as I say over and over again, they need Donald Trump.
00:03:07.920
And here's the thing. If the entire auto industry in Ontario disappeared, it would have more people
00:03:15.960
voting for the Liberal Party than ever because of Donald Trump. It's their number one reason
00:03:20.260
for justification for the decline of Canada. People would continue to vote Liberal, never
00:03:26.540
underestimate the stupidity of the electorate. And it will allow Carney to use the Trump card
00:03:32.280
to justify anything when things go awry in this country. Now, the second thing is why we can't
00:03:38.580
have nice things in this country. Carney began the groundwork to not get things done in this country,
00:03:47.960
the things he doesn't really like, months ago. And when things don't get done, he doesn't have to
00:03:54.440
accept any responsibility for it. Because he just had to say one word over and over and over again.
00:04:02.920
We will not impose a project on a province. We need consensus behind these projects.
00:04:10.960
And we need the participation of Indigenous peoples. We will only do that in the case where we have the
00:04:16.600
support of First Nations. We have the support of all the provinces coming together with consensus.
00:04:23.960
Consensus. Simply by saying that one word over and over again, and again, I don't know whether this is
00:04:29.060
planned or blind luck, he's able to avoid any responsibility for things that don't get done in this
00:04:35.180
country. Consensus. Well, the province doesn't want it. No pipeline. Aboriginals don't want it. No pipeline.
00:04:44.320
David Eby comes out against the pipeline. Carney hardly says a thing. Eby says the province doesn't want it.
00:04:49.680
Aboriginals don't want it. So, there's no pipeline. Meanwhile, Carney sits back and says, not my fault.
00:04:56.620
There's no consensus. And he avoids any responsibility whatsoever. So, the next thing we're going to move on to
00:05:02.860
here is, if you have bad laws in the country that are getting in the way, what do you do? You create another law.
00:05:12.740
I'm not going to go on a long time about the next thing. I've discussed it at length here on this channel,
00:05:17.380
but it's now been seven months since Danielle Smith first said, the next prime minister and
00:05:24.580
government of this country has to get rid of these laws in order for us to get our natural resources
00:05:29.460
out of the ground and get it to new markets. And of course, she's talking about Alberta and our oil
00:05:34.620
and gas industry. But did those laws go away? No. We're talking about Bill C-69 and C-48, the anti-pipeline
00:05:41.240
law, the tanker ban. They're still there. And all Carney had to do was say, let's get rid of these laws and
00:05:46.620
we can get stuff done. But instead, to shield himself from any criticism because of those laws,
00:05:51.400
what does he do? He creates a new law called Bill C-5. So, now he's in control of what gets built.
00:05:57.900
And he decides what are major projects in this country. And he gets to slowly bring out these
00:06:03.540
different projects looking like he's getting something done when he really isn't getting
00:06:07.340
anything done at all. And when people criticize him about Bill C-69 and C-48, he says, oh, but look,
00:06:12.920
we've got Bill C-5. And just a reminder, the conservatives voted in favor of this again.
00:06:17.320
Now, let me ask you, the next thing is kind of a half thing, which ties in with this thing.
00:06:21.420
But if you were a company, say an oil company, would you want to invest in this country?
00:06:29.280
So, what's the next thing, Carney? Either again, on purpose or just by blind luck, has allowed him to
00:06:36.100
just accept no responsibility for things not getting done in this country, for the inaction of his
00:06:41.240
government, for the incompetence of his government? What's the next thing? Well, the next thing is,
00:06:46.040
we've got Bill C-69, we've got Bill C-48. So, as David Eby is so often saying, there's no pipeline.
00:06:53.960
The province of BC, the Premier of BC, is not a threat to the pipeline project of the Premier of
00:07:01.020
Alberta, because there is no pipeline project. For the pipeline project that Premier Smith is a
00:07:06.120
great enthusiast of, a heavy oil pipeline project. There is no project, there is no proponent,
00:07:11.240
there is no private sector money involved at all that I'm aware of.
00:07:15.780
There isn't currently a proponent of a pipeline, a private sector proponent of a pipeline.
00:07:20.400
There is no pipeline, there's no proponent for a pipeline, there's no investment in a pipeline.
00:07:26.700
They all say it now, the people who don't want a pipeline, they've been saying it for months,
00:07:31.240
and it makes it very easy for the Liberals to just deny that they've got any responsibility at all
00:07:36.840
for not having a pipeline. Despite the fact, it's the things I just talked about that are getting
00:07:42.540
in the way of investment in a pipeline in this country. How convenient. And the last thing is
00:07:48.520
probably the worst thing. We're being set up for the greatest sleight of hand in Canadian history.
00:07:55.880
An absolute economic catastrophe is about to happen.
00:07:59.460
Donald Trump will get blamed for it, of course, but he's been setting this up for months by just
00:08:15.460
The Liberals have been setting us up for months with this phrase, spend less, invest more, whether
00:08:20.980
this is planned or it's just blind luck that they're coming into this budget on November the 4th,
00:08:32.040
They're basically going to say, hey, nothing to see here.
00:08:37.660
A hundred billion dollar deficit, that's us investing in you. We've been telling you about
00:08:46.600
They won't accept any responsibility for the catastrophe
00:08:53.180
and people find it harder and harder to afford things like, I don't know, food?
00:08:58.580
If you go over to his Stellantis response here, right at the bottom, on November 4th, 2025,
00:09:04.680
Canada's new government will table a budget that will
00:09:06.920
catalyze generational investments, spend less, invest more,
00:09:11.120
to build the economy of the future while ensuring workers and industries can
00:09:23.500
Meanwhile, the trained SEALs who voted for the Liberals,
00:09:46.020
Ring the bell for notifications, and I'll see you in the next one.
