00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 622 AM.
00:00:06.160 I hope you're having a great start to your Thursday, September the 25th.
00:00:09.420 Getting going a little bit later this morning, I do have my big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:13.600 I want to talk about a few things today that don't seem connected, but I believe that they
00:00:19.180 are.
00:00:19.940 One of them is a bigger story than you might think, and that would be the ostrich story.
00:00:25.620 Now, I haven't talked about this.
00:00:27.180 I'm sorry.
00:00:27.800 I haven't brought it up, but this is a pretty big story.
00:00:30.640 And I think it's bigger in a different way, and it's connected with some other things
00:00:33.260 that are going on right now.
00:00:34.360 Dare I say authoritarianism when it comes to government in this country?
00:00:38.700 At least it's heavy-handedness in a big way.
00:00:42.020 So the ostrich story is this.
00:00:44.000 There's this farm in BC.
00:00:46.060 They've got about 400 ostriches.
00:00:48.040 Some of them have the avian flu.
00:00:49.960 Apparently, the ostriches are perfectly healthy right now, but the government wants them dead.
00:00:54.640 Now, where's the story?
00:00:55.820 I mean, it's almost ridiculous.
00:00:57.680 You want to laugh at it.
00:00:58.460 Here's where the story stands right now.
00:01:00.280 Calgary Sun.
00:01:01.380 Supreme Court has issued a stay-of-coal order aimed at a BC ostrich farm.
00:01:06.140 What happens now?
00:01:08.980 Good news.
00:01:10.260 Folks, I hate to say it.
00:01:12.300 I hope I'm wrong.
00:01:13.340 But the ostriches are going to die, and it's going to be a sad day when this happens, but
00:01:17.480 the government wants them dead.
00:01:19.120 The Canada Food Inspection Agency says they're a threat to humanity.
00:01:23.160 They've got to die.
00:01:24.360 And you can't have a couple of people in BC, even if they have supporters and they have
00:01:29.240 thousands of supporters, you can't have them fighting back against the government.
00:01:33.240 The government is going to win.
00:01:34.700 The ostriches have to die.
00:01:38.020 Which moves us on to our next story.
00:01:40.480 By the way, people think Paulyev should talk about this.
00:01:42.800 I don't think he should.
00:01:44.180 Then it becomes a federal issue, and the liberals use it against Paulyev and his supporters.
00:01:48.420 They don't care about public health.
00:01:50.920 That's how it'll be used.
00:01:51.920 That's what happens with this.
00:01:53.080 The next story is guns.
00:01:56.420 And here is Paulyev standing up in the House of Commons, wasting his breath, talking about
00:02:00.880 guns.
00:02:01.620 The gun buyback program, folks.
00:02:04.860 Something that will do nothing to help you, won't protect anybody whatsoever when you take
00:02:09.860 guns away from law-abiding citizens.
00:02:12.160 By the way, just before we get to that, here's a list.
00:02:14.180 I went to the RCPO website.
00:02:15.760 Here's a list of guns.
00:02:16.660 Okay, here they are, right here.
00:02:20.400 There's somebody, some bureaucrat, sitting in a room somewhere with a list of guns and
00:02:25.860 typing them on another list that's got the Government of Canada logo on it.
00:02:30.820 Doesn't know the difference between a semi-automatic and automatic weapon, just typing all these
00:02:34.900 guns out.
00:02:35.420 2,500 guns at this point that they want to take away from law-abiding citizens in this
00:02:40.020 country because they say it's for public safety.
00:02:43.600 And this is authoritarianism.
00:02:45.260 You can't fight back against the government.
00:02:47.840 You've got to hand in your guns.
00:02:48.840 It's a voluntary program, folks.
00:02:50.760 The list just keeps going on and on.
00:02:54.740 Paulyev making complete sense in the House of Commons.
00:02:57.760 I hate to do this to you folks.
00:03:00.300 You might want to get some cellophane.
00:03:01.800 Get out the saran wrap.
00:03:03.200 Cover up your computer screen, your tablet, your phone.
00:03:05.720 Because you're going to want to vomit here in just a moment.
00:03:07.600 Because they've got Mark Carney coming up.
00:03:10.760 Despite the fact that everybody knows this program is wrong, the Liberals are moving ahead
00:03:14.620 with it.
00:03:14.920 As I said the other day, they've been after Canadian citizens' guns for 30 years.
00:03:19.000 And everything they've done has been an absolute mess.
00:03:21.380 The first program, the gun registration program, if you didn't hear me the other day, was supposed
00:03:25.560 to cost $2 million.
00:03:26.940 It ended up costing a billion.
00:03:28.800 500 times what it was supposed to cost.
00:03:30.660 This is the efficiency of your government.
00:03:32.680 And this goes back to when it was first introduced 30 years ago.
00:03:36.840 Alan Rock, 1995.
00:03:39.060 Here's Paulyev in the House of Commons going on and on about the gun buyback program.
00:03:44.060 And he's absolutely right what he says here.
00:03:46.160 I'm going to play Carney for you in just a moment.
00:03:48.020 But his own Minister of Public Safety says this government is doing it wrong.
00:03:53.000 He was caught on tape saying the program won't work.
00:03:55.420 And yet they are going to rip $750 million away from our border and police services.
00:04:00.660 to harass duck hunters and farmers by banning the firearms they use.
00:04:05.840 This approach has led to a 130% increase in gun crime under the Liberals' watch.
00:04:13.760 The police say they won't implement it.
00:04:16.080 The minister says it's a bad idea.
00:04:19.560 But they're only doing it for political reasons.
00:04:22.140 Why is the prime minister putting lives at risk for politics?
00:04:25.660 Here, here, here.
00:04:26.980 The right honoured to the prime minister.
00:04:30.660 Mr. Speaker, I don't even know where to begin with that.
00:04:35.780 I don't even know where to begin.
00:04:36.920 Of course he doesn't know where to begin because it doesn't make any sense.
00:04:39.440 But they're pushing ahead with this because they're Liberals.
00:04:41.500 This is what they do.
00:04:42.380 They don't do what's right.
00:04:44.920 By the way, if you look over here, you can see on the screen, this right here,
00:04:48.980 they're going to pan over here.
00:04:50.120 I don't know whether the cameraman in the House of Commons did this on purpose.
00:04:53.220 But the guy responsible for this, and the guy caught on tape the other day, Gary Anandasangari,
00:04:58.620 he's right here.
00:04:59.400 You're going to see him in just a moment.
00:05:00.820 That's right.
00:05:01.640 First off, I don't know where to begin because of all the misrepresentations in that intervention.
00:05:14.960 The person who's putting lives at risk is the leader of the opposition who's voted against
00:05:20.820 every single piece of gun legislation.
00:05:24.800 What the Minister of Public Safety is doing is doing it right.
00:05:29.260 He's correcting an inefficient system to provide Canadians with fair...
00:05:34.560 He's not doing anything at all.
00:05:37.300 This is not protecting Canadians at all.
00:05:40.840 But there's something to be terribly concerned about here.
00:05:43.940 I've seen some other people commenting on this story.
00:05:47.760 Polly F. said that the police won't do anything about this.
00:05:51.400 Here in Alberta, Daniel Smith is suggesting to police forces not to go after people's guns.
00:05:56.400 But folks, federal government knows you have a gun if you've got one.
00:06:01.220 You should be rather frightened right now.
00:06:02.800 And you may be thinking, I'm not going to hand him my gun.
00:06:06.260 But what happens if you show up at the border?
00:06:10.000 And you've got your passport.
00:06:11.780 And the government has flagged your passport saying,
00:06:14.400 you have a gun and you haven't handed it in.
00:06:17.140 What do they do?
00:06:17.980 Put handcuffs on you and take you to jail?
00:06:21.680 Maybe you have a gun and you're not traveling.
00:06:26.060 And you're just waiting for an income tax return to get your money back.
00:06:30.420 And the government says, sorry, hand in your gun or you don't get your money back.
00:06:34.260 We're going to keep your gun or your money.
00:06:38.120 You don't think that can happen?
00:06:39.380 What happened during COVID, folks?
00:06:43.120 Trudeau said you couldn't travel on a plane to train a bus unless you get your vaccination.
00:06:47.560 They made a $50 million app called Arrive Can.
00:06:51.400 If you didn't fill it out, you ended up in quarantine for 14 days because they knew.
00:06:58.080 This is how chilling this can get.
00:07:00.240 This is how authoritarian this can get.
00:07:03.520 And you think you might not be handing over your guns in this voluntary program.
00:07:07.860 Has the government got a program when it comes to guns at the border?
00:07:12.840 We know that's where they're coming from.
00:07:16.220 Paul Yev's brought that up.
00:07:18.040 Carney knows it.
00:07:20.260 Where's their $750 million program, special program, to ensure guns aren't coming across the border?
00:07:26.420 Because that's where they're coming from.
00:07:28.660 Here's Carney.
00:07:29.840 Again, sorry.
00:07:31.540 I think this is back in July.
00:07:32.780 One of the things the federal government is doing, and we are making a huge emphasis on this,
00:07:39.780 is to control our border better.
00:07:42.660 Is that what's happening?
00:07:45.100 No.
00:07:45.540 We have the Canada Border Services Agency that do their very best to stop guns, 0.63
00:07:49.600 but there's no special program for this.
00:07:53.800 Do you know anybody who has a gun?
00:07:55.300 I do.
00:07:57.640 He's got lots of guns.
00:07:59.240 He's a hunter.
00:08:00.160 He goes out during hunting season.
00:08:02.780 He goes out and only hunts what he's allowed to hunt.
00:08:06.500 He has his guns locked up.
00:08:08.360 And from all I know, he's never killed anybody, but they're going after his guns.
00:08:12.640 This should have a chilling effect on you if you have a gun, because the feds know who have guns.
00:08:19.100 Regardless of the fact, if the RCMP in Alberta aren't going to be doing anything about this,
00:08:23.920 or the OPP in Ontario aren't going to confiscate people's guns, it doesn't matter.
00:08:28.520 And here's the other thing.
00:08:31.820 I'm worried about this.
00:08:33.260 You may think, John, this isn't an issue.
00:08:34.840 It is an issue.
00:08:36.140 I think you should be able to have a gun.
00:08:39.180 I think you have a right to have a gun.
00:08:41.060 I think we should have a Second Amendment like the United States has.
00:08:44.740 I believe that.
00:08:45.460 I think you have a right to defend yourself.
00:08:48.800 Is what I'm saying right now hate speech?
00:08:55.440 Could it be considered dangerous speech in the future with this government, this authoritarian government?
00:09:00.360 Because right now, the government is going to be passing speech laws against people.
00:09:06.220 And I believe people should be able to keep their guns and protect themselves with them.
00:09:12.840 And will the government consider what I'm saying right now hate speech in the future?
00:09:16.960 Or against their new speech laws which are coming in?
00:09:19.620 This is the stuff the government's focusing on right now, folks.
00:09:23.100 Maybe not the ostriches, but they've got to kill the ostriches now, 1.00
00:09:26.320 because you can't fight back against the government.
00:09:28.240 You've got to give the government your guns now.
00:09:31.560 You can't fight back against that.
00:09:33.060 It's the federal government.
00:09:35.440 And you can't say things that they deem hateful,
00:09:38.600 because it's the federal government.
00:09:42.140 Meanwhile, you get your paycheck at the end of the week,
00:09:45.060 and it doesn't go as far, and food prices are too high.
00:09:47.820 You can't afford your rent.
00:09:49.960 You can't afford a house.
00:09:51.700 People are on the street doing drugs openly.
00:09:53.760 And this is what the government's focusing on, things like this.
00:09:56.220 It's disgraceful.
00:10:00.080 It's one of the reasons I want Alberta independence.
00:10:04.040 Thanks very much for watching.
00:10:05.500 Tell me what you think in the comments.
