00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel.
00:00:02.040 It is January the 8th at 5.06 a.m.
00:00:04.260 with my big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:06.400 And today, I'm going to make a prediction
00:00:08.280 about the liberal leadership campaign
00:00:10.120 you will not hear anywhere on the internet, I guarantee it.
00:00:13.200 Nobody on YouTube will talk about this.
00:00:16.380 Nobody on X will talk about it.
00:00:17.740 You won't see anybody in Trudeau's bought and paid for media
00:00:20.560 talk about it in this particular way.
00:00:23.040 But I'm gonna go there today, so stay tuned for that.
00:00:26.300 Before I do that, I'm gonna give you five names.
00:00:28.980 And I want you to think about what they have in common, okay?
00:00:33.040 So here they are.
00:00:34.260 Jonathan Wilkinson, Stephen McKinnon,
00:00:37.880 Francois-Philippe Champagne, Mark Carney, and Dominic LeBlanc.
00:00:42.220 So think about those names, and maybe you'll get an idea
00:00:44.660 of where I'm going with this video today.
00:00:47.820 Before I get to the leadership, though,
00:00:49.760 I think there's an underlying thing going on right now
00:00:53.140 that shows how weak Canada is.
00:00:55.500 And I think it's really become palpable since Monday,
00:00:57.900 since Trudeau's resignation.
00:00:59.760 It is really bad right now.
00:01:01.860 You've got people like Danielle Smith calling for an immediate election.
00:01:05.500 Brian Lilly wrote an article over the last 12 hours about the same thing.
00:01:09.700 You've got the Toronto Star trying to gaslight you
00:01:12.680 and suggest that everything's been great under Justin Trudeau,
00:01:15.020 saying you're richer because of Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party.
00:01:17.960 You've got other liberals saying that as well.
00:01:19.760 You're gonna hear a lot of that in the media,
00:01:21.320 a lot from liberals on how great things are going.
00:01:24.220 But we are very, very weak right now.
00:01:27.220 And we really could do with an election right away.
00:01:29.880 We do have that 25% tariff thing kind of hanging over our head.
00:01:33.860 People are talking about millions of jobs being lost,
00:01:36.420 the loss of wealth here in Canada.
00:01:38.180 It will be an economic catastrophe.
00:01:40.380 And Donald Trump sees weakness.
00:01:42.380 He saw weakness in Trudeau before,
00:01:43.920 but now Trudeau is a lame duck prime minister.
00:01:46.500 He's an interim prime minister.
00:01:47.820 He's always been kind of weak-kneed anyway.
00:01:50.560 He sees, it's like chum in the water for a shark.
00:01:53.700 Trump sees blood in the water, folks,
00:01:55.840 and he's going for it.
00:01:56.600 And he's pushing buttons right now.
00:01:58.900 I mean, he's trolling us in a big way.
00:02:01.400 You know, Trudeau came out the other day saying
00:02:03.000 Canada won't be a 51st state.
00:02:04.860 Paulyev said the same thing.
00:02:06.740 Trump yesterday in a media scrum
00:02:08.560 suggested an economic takeover in Canada.
00:02:10.780 I think a tighter union between our two countries
00:02:13.440 would be really good for Canada.
00:02:14.700 Of course, Trump's talked about Canada as a 51st state.
00:02:18.200 I think he made a quip about Wayne Gretzky
00:02:20.160 being the governor of the state again
00:02:22.800 within the last 24 to 48 hours.
00:02:24.960 So Trump sees weakness right now, and we need strength.
00:02:27.960 But who will the liberals choose,
00:02:29.500 and how soon will this happen?
00:02:30.820 Now, they're sitting down apparently today
00:02:32.920 to have a caucus meeting,
00:02:35.780 and this will be a hot part of that meeting,
00:02:38.620 how they're going to choose their next leader.
00:02:41.220 And from what I've read,
00:02:42.120 some of them want a quick choice.
00:02:43.800 Others want a long period to choose this person.
00:02:47.920 And a lot of say it should be somebody
00:02:49.460 who is already on the liberal team.
00:02:51.340 So we'll have to see how that plays out.
00:02:53.180 We've heard that it's possible
00:02:54.400 children may be able to vote in the leadership campaigns,
00:02:57.980 and foreigners may be able to as well.
00:03:01.400 I'd like to be assured that anybody
00:03:03.200 who is in this campaign running as the leader
00:03:05.480 isn't a Chinese mole.
00:03:08.560 We understand that there are a number of people
00:03:10.340 influenced by the Chinese government
00:03:12.460 in our government right now, in Parliament.
00:03:15.280 And I want to make sure none of these people
00:03:16.900 have been influenced by the Communist Chinese to start.
00:03:21.960 But what I want to talk about today,
00:03:24.400 and who I think might be the liberal leader,
00:03:26.960 is based on only one thing.
00:03:29.320 Now, I'm going to give you those names again.
00:03:31.220 What do they all have in common?
00:03:34.260 Jonathan Wilkinson,
00:03:35.780 Stephen McKinnon,
00:03:37.180 Francois-Philippe Champagne,
00:03:39.040 Mark Carney,
00:03:40.160 and Dominic LeBlanc.
00:03:41.840 Well, yeah,
00:03:42.660 a lot of those names have been thrown around
00:03:44.720 as possible people to run for the leadership
00:03:47.140 of the Liberal Party.
00:03:48.360 Now, if you said that they're men,
00:03:50.500 you'd be right in saying that as well.
00:03:52.560 But that's not what they all have in common.
00:03:55.200 What they all have in common is
00:03:56.600 they don't have vaginas.
00:03:58.340 Okay?
00:03:59.040 So this is my take on this.
00:04:01.400 All right?
00:04:01.960 You're not going to hear this anywhere else.
00:04:03.920 They don't have vaginas.
00:04:05.960 I think the Liberal Party will pick a woman.
00:04:08.800 Again, it all depends on who gets to vote on this.
00:04:11.380 Because if just the average person
00:04:13.900 who gets a Liberal membership
00:04:16.720 has a chance to vote,
00:04:18.040 it will all come down to that vote.
00:04:19.960 But if the Liberals choose
00:04:21.280 to pick somebody themselves,
00:04:22.840 they'll pick somebody with a vagina.
00:04:25.100 Because, let's face it,
00:04:26.160 the Conservatives beat them to the punch
00:04:28.040 when Kim Campbell was named the Prime Minister
00:04:31.100 back after the election in 93.
00:04:33.220 Of course, she just got the job
00:04:34.400 because Marooney walked away
00:04:35.740 and she was chosen as the leader.
00:04:37.600 I don't ever consider her as a PM,
00:04:39.800 but yeah, she was a PM of Canada.
00:04:41.560 But the Liberals will not pick a man.
00:04:43.940 And some of these people don't deserve
00:04:45.440 to be the leader of the Liberal Party.
00:04:49.840 They don't deserve to run anything.
00:04:51.400 They're all complicit in the mess
00:04:52.880 we've got here in Canada.
00:04:54.580 You're looking at MPs
00:04:55.700 like Natural Resource Minister
00:04:56.940 Jonathan Wilkinson.
00:04:58.160 You're looking at the Labor Minister,
00:04:59.960 Stephen McKinnon, right?
00:05:01.520 You're looking at Liberal MP
00:05:02.880 Francois-Philippe Gagnon.
00:05:04.200 And you're looking at
00:05:04.780 the current Finance Minister,
00:05:06.540 Dominic LeBlanc, who said this.
00:05:08.900 Our government is very proud
00:05:10.940 of the fall economic statement
00:05:12.580 that we made public yesterday.
00:05:14.340 Anyone that says they're proud
00:05:16.480 of the economy right now
00:05:17.640 should not be the leader
00:05:18.620 of a federal party in this country.
00:05:20.580 And I think that Dominic LeBlanc
00:05:22.560 speaks for most Liberals.
00:05:23.880 I think they're proud
00:05:24.800 of what they've done.
00:05:26.340 I don't think they see
00:05:27.160 that there's anything wrong right now.
00:05:29.400 They're all complicit
00:05:30.680 in the absolute mess we've got.
00:05:32.560 But who are some of the vaginas,
00:05:34.480 sorry, women,
00:05:36.360 that are being thrown around
00:05:39.080 as possible leadership contenders?
00:05:41.900 And I think Christia Freeland
00:05:43.300 right off the top.
00:05:44.220 I think you probably thought of her.
00:05:46.100 She's going to play this to the hilt.
00:05:47.660 Jilted by Trudeau,
00:05:48.860 stood up to Trudeau,
00:05:49.820 walked away from the job
00:05:51.680 as Deputy Prime Minister
00:05:52.820 and as the Finance Minister
00:05:55.120 on the day of an economic update.
00:05:57.200 Oh, hero of femininity.
00:05:58.580 You're already hearing that.
00:05:59.600 Strong, strong woman.
00:06:00.760 And she's also complicit
00:06:02.200 in a $62 billion deficit
00:06:03.940 and a huge mess
00:06:05.220 with her economy right now.
00:06:06.600 She's also on the Board of Trustees
00:06:07.960 for the World Economic Forum,
00:06:09.300 which I think disqualifies anybody,
00:06:11.000 which includes Mark Carney.
00:06:12.680 He's knee-deep in that organization.
00:06:15.580 There's a name like Anita Anand, right?
00:06:18.060 Oh, she could be the girl, right?
00:06:20.140 She's an intersectional wonder.
00:06:22.400 Woman, woman of color,
00:06:24.600 immigrant parents.
00:06:25.420 I mean, the Liberals,
00:06:27.020 they love the DEI stuff.
00:06:28.520 They're all about diversity
00:06:29.460 as their strength.
00:06:30.160 Anand has thrown words
00:06:31.640 like systemic racism around.
00:06:33.500 Diversity wants to make
00:06:34.960 our military more diverse
00:06:36.360 while overseeing an absolute mess
00:06:38.060 when it comes to Canada's defense.
00:06:40.480 Pushed more aid for Ukraine,
00:06:42.480 which just pushed more death
00:06:43.900 as far as I'm concerned,
00:06:45.220 which is a diversity hire
00:06:46.380 through and through.
00:06:47.600 And again, I think Liberals
00:06:48.920 will probably slam me
00:06:49.900 for saying that,
00:06:50.500 but they're all about
00:06:51.240 that kind of thing.
00:06:52.020 This is the way they choose people.
00:06:53.400 They don't see you as a human being.
00:06:54.980 They don't hire on merit.
00:06:56.220 They hire because you tick boxes.
00:06:58.080 Another one who might tick some boxes,
00:06:59.480 woman, French,
00:07:00.760 Melanie Jolie,
00:07:01.580 a name being thrown around.
00:07:02.740 But what's wrong
00:07:03.340 with these three women?
00:07:04.420 They're all Liberals.
00:07:05.440 They're knee-deep
00:07:05.960 in the economic mess right now.
00:07:07.400 That is their baggage.
00:07:08.960 They are complicit
00:07:09.780 in everything that's happened
00:07:11.000 over the last nine years
00:07:12.280 and have voted in lockstep
00:07:13.820 with Justin Trudeau.
00:07:14.960 So it might be an outsider.
00:07:17.740 So who is the outsider?
00:07:19.000 Well, the name
00:07:19.400 that's being thrown around the most,
00:07:21.440 and that is a woman,
00:07:22.220 is Christy Clark,
00:07:23.960 former Premier of British Columbia.
00:07:26.960 Okay, interesting enough,
00:07:28.480 I believe,
00:07:29.420 correct me if I'm wrong
00:07:30.360 in the comments,
00:07:31.600 when she first got her seat
00:07:33.240 in BC,
00:07:34.280 she beat David Eby,
00:07:36.860 the NDP leader
00:07:38.000 and the Premier
00:07:39.040 of British Columbia right now,
00:07:40.060 if I remember correctly.
00:07:41.440 The problem with Christy Clark,
00:07:43.400 who said in the past
00:07:44.720 that she wants to help
00:07:45.600 lead the Liberal Party forward
00:07:47.100 is the fact that
00:07:48.200 she's not far enough left now,
00:07:49.660 I think,
00:07:50.000 for the Liberal Party.
00:07:51.300 She was in favor
00:07:52.220 of expanding pipelines
00:07:53.320 for liquid natural gas,
00:07:54.640 and let's face it,
00:07:55.800 the Liberals are,
00:07:57.160 you know,
00:07:58.140 right at the top of the list
00:07:59.420 when it comes to being
00:08:00.100 part of the climate cult.
00:08:01.240 They want to end
00:08:01.880 our oil and gas industry.
00:08:03.000 Clark has been in favor
00:08:04.400 of it in the past,
00:08:05.460 so she would have to change
00:08:06.600 in that way,
00:08:07.480 but then again,
00:08:08.520 Liberals are willing
00:08:09.060 to do anything
00:08:09.760 to get power,
00:08:10.700 so she could be the person
00:08:12.380 if she decides to run,
00:08:14.080 and that's the big question here.
00:08:16.820 Is the next leader
00:08:17.980 of the Liberal Party
00:08:18.840 not just a sacrificial lamb?
00:08:20.580 Because we've heard
00:08:21.200 that anybody that runs
00:08:22.380 will lose in an election
00:08:24.040 in October,
00:08:25.020 and that would include
00:08:25.820 Mark Carney,
00:08:26.540 who is sort of the head person
00:08:28.760 right now,
00:08:29.180 the one who is running
00:08:30.020 ahead of everybody else
00:08:31.220 if he decides to run.
00:08:32.460 Will Mark Carney
00:08:33.280 be dumb enough
00:08:34.140 to run for the leadership
00:08:36.520 of the Liberal Party?
00:08:37.480 You have to ask
00:08:38.240 if any of these people will.
00:08:39.500 Now, there are a number
00:08:40.400 of them that want to be
00:08:41.380 the Prime Minister
00:08:42.200 that are going to be
00:08:43.140 shown the door anyway,
00:08:44.180 so a lot of Liberals
00:08:45.100 will put their name forward,
00:08:46.380 but Mark Carney
00:08:47.300 and Christy Clark
00:08:48.100 right now,
00:08:48.660 are they stupid enough
00:08:49.980 to run and lead
00:08:52.300 this sinking ship
00:08:53.420 right to the bottom
00:08:54.320 of the ocean?
00:08:55.740 They're Liberals.
00:08:57.460 You could say that.
00:08:59.060 That makes them stupid enough,
00:09:00.520 but will they run?
00:09:02.120 It's going to be interesting
00:09:02.760 to see what happens.
00:09:03.620 We'll find out today,
00:09:05.340 I think,
00:09:06.220 or get more information today
00:09:07.740 as the Liberals meet
00:09:08.980 to discuss the future
00:09:10.720 of the Liberal Party.
00:09:11.840 But we all can agree
00:09:13.240 we need a strong leadership
00:09:15.580 and we need it now
00:09:16.800 and unfortunately,
00:09:17.740 we're in a very weak situation
00:09:20.280 and the guy to the south
00:09:21.560 sees our weakness
00:09:22.940 and is ready to exploit it.
00:09:24.820 What do you think of the video?
00:09:25.780 Let me know.
00:09:26.160 Give me a thumbs up.

00:09:27.720 if you want.
00:09:28.100 I don't say that very often.
00:09:29.540 I've picked up
00:09:30.200 almost 2,500 people
00:09:32.460 over the last couple of weeks.
