00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 501 a.m. Monday, October the 6th. I hope you're
00:00:13.700 having a great start to your Monday. I just warmed up my big blue mug of coffee in the
00:00:18.600 microwave. What a chilly morning we have here in Calgary today. One degree. I have an awning
00:00:24.020 out back of my house made out of fabric and I went out there to clear water off of it
00:00:27.860 because it rained a little bit over the weekend and it was icy today. So I'm going to have
00:00:32.240 to get the awning down. I don't want a lot of snow out there and that could happen at
00:00:35.600 any time. Luckily, I haven't had to turn the furnace on. I hope you're nice, warm, and
00:00:39.480 toasty wherever you may live. So today I want to talk about a video I saw yesterday. You
00:00:44.680 may have seen this and if you saw this, you probably were amazed at what you saw. Maybe
00:00:50.080 not surprised, but amazed. If you haven't seen it, your jaw is going to drop and it's
00:00:53.960 Pierre Polyev talking to a couple of youngsters. I would assume they're in their late 20s on
00:00:59.540 a podcast called Can't Be Censored. As a matter of fact, when I saw this video, I thought that
00:01:07.340 my video had frozen on my MacBook because there's a pregnant pause in between the question these
00:01:12.060 two young people ask Polyev and his answer and he really lays into them with his answer.
00:01:18.720 And I'm not going to be overly critical of these young people because they do not know
00:01:23.320 of their ignorance. This is what they've been taught. This is what they now accept. I did a
00:01:30.120 video back in May talking about how mediocre the country is. I'm going to show you a little
00:01:34.760 short clip of that in just a moment. And I said that Canada is mediocre. What's happening
00:01:40.780 right now is that liberals are lowering your expectations when it comes to your way of life.
00:01:46.400 They're normalizing the abnormal. You accept the mediocrity now. People call it managing the
00:01:53.020 decline and I've called it that here as well. So what I'll do is I'll show you this and let's come
00:01:57.580 back and talk about this because this is pretty, this is prevalent in Canada now with pretty much
00:02:03.160 everything. Home ownership. You often talk about home ownership as the Canadian dream, but if
00:02:10.880 let's say half a generation is not, that's not even a possibility for them, um, could we, should we
00:02:17.440 maybe change the narrative, the framing of, you know, success, um, from renting or owning a home to,
00:02:25.000 you know, renting or, uh, you know? Yeah. I mean, I guess this, does the metric need to change as
00:02:31.440 the, is the Canadian dream anymore? Owning a home or can it be renting?
00:02:38.500 Are you serious? I don't know. I mean, like, no, no, I, do you, do you realize this is the
00:02:44.560 conversation because just, if I could, do you realize what they've done to you?
00:02:50.960 Who's they?
00:02:51.560 The government.
00:02:53.880 What have they done to us? Oh boy.
00:02:56.500 They just tricked you into massively lowering your expectations.
00:03:02.440 Lowering the bar.
00:03:03.160 For your quality of life. I find it heartbreaking that people are being tricked into thinking
00:03:09.660 that their lives have to be permanently worse than they were 10 years ago.
00:03:13.720 But why is it worse to be a renter?
00:03:15.700 Why is it worse to rent permanently? It means you'll never be able to build up home equity
00:03:21.020 home equity. Home equity is the basis for most retirements. It means that you'll always be
00:03:26.960 paying off the mortgage of a multinational corporation that rents you your place rather
00:03:34.740 than building up ownership in a place that you can call your own home and owning a home
00:03:40.220 was something we took for granted only 10 years ago.
00:03:45.380 Wow. Do you realize what they've done to you? Who? The government. Let's watch it again. It's
00:03:59.100 just one of the most honest things I've ever heard a politician say.
00:04:04.600 Are you serious?
00:04:06.260 I don't know. I mean, like, like, no, no, no. Do you realize?
00:04:10.960 This is the conversation because just if I could, do you realize what they've done to
00:04:17.060 you? Who's they? The government.
00:04:20.960 Pierre Polyev should put that on a damn t-shirt. Do you realize what they've done to you? Who?
00:04:27.980 The government. I mean, people are making a thing of this. But this is absolutely the most
00:04:36.640 amazing thing I've ever heard a politician say. God love you, Pierre Polyev, for saying
00:04:41.260 it because you're right. Here's what I said May 19th about Canada and its mediocrity and
00:04:47.100 accepting this kind of crap.
00:04:48.980 Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are. I think
00:04:53.740 a lot of you realize how broke you are, how broke the country is. And you didn't accept
00:04:59.100 the mediocrity when you voted on April the 28th. You voted for the other guy. You didn't
00:05:04.020 accept the mediocrity. You didn't want to perpetuate the mediocrity. You didn't want to normalize
00:05:08.580 the mediocrity. But more Canadians did and you got more mediocrity from the Liberal Party
00:05:13.040 after 10 years of mediocrity.
00:05:15.820 These young people talking to Polyev are talking about housing, but this happens everywhere in
00:05:20.580 our society now. I remember a few years ago, and maybe you remember as well, if you live
00:05:25.060 in my area, but I think gas prices got up over $1.40 a liter. It came down to $1.30 and
00:05:30.880 people were happy. I said, don't be happy. Don't accept this. It was ridiculously high
00:05:35.280 before. Now it's unmanageably high. We want it to be where it should be, about a buck a
00:05:40.120 liter, where it used to be. It shouldn't be this high. But you accept the high prices now
00:05:44.380 because it was in the stratosphere. It's the same thing with housing, right? So let's go
00:05:48.360 through a few more things that people are accepting now. And you have to remember this.
00:05:53.680 The left also needs a scapegoat for this. They do this with everything. They're not the
00:05:59.660 problem. It's somebody else's fault. And just keep that in mind. Okay, so let's look at
00:06:03.300 your income after taxes. Be happy. Carney gave you a mediocre tax cut, but you're paying a
00:06:09.140 lot more in taxes than you would be if you're living in the United States. Now the people out
00:06:12.860 there who are watching this video who disagree with me on everything will say, yeah, but we pay
00:06:16.380 high income taxes because we get all this good stuff and this free stuff that makes our life
00:06:21.140 more affordable in this country. Well, that's not the case at all. Let's move on to houses
00:06:24.940 again. You're not going to get a regular house in Carnies, Canada. You're more likely to get
00:06:30.940 something that looks more like a shipping container. But be happy you're getting that now because
00:06:35.720 of course we've lowered the expectations. Food prices, right? Food prices are higher. They're
00:06:41.580 getting higher. There's just a story last week. Food prices are going to come down, right? They'll
00:06:46.320 come down a bit. Not to where they should be, but you're going to accept it and then you're
00:06:50.840 going to thank the government for bringing it down to a point where you still can't afford
00:06:53.960 it, but it's a little less than you're paying right now. Businesses are paying a lot more
00:06:57.460 too. They're expected to pay more. This has become normal. Normalizing the abnormal. Our GDP
00:07:03.520 is ridiculous. We're not doing as well as countries around the world. It's been proven. Here are
00:07:08.820 three graphs right now that show you how bad Canada's doing. But again, you accept this
00:07:13.440 because the country's mediocre. The deficit, remember when $10 billion was a high deficit?
00:07:19.180 That was, I mentioned this just last week, moderate deficits of $10 billion. That was what
00:07:24.500 I think around 2019 Trudeau promised us it was $62 billion last year and it could be over $100
00:07:31.460 billion, but this is becoming normalized. Our healthcare, is it getting better? It isn't
00:07:35.040 getting better. Admit it. It's getting worse. But if you mention private care, the managed
00:07:42.240 decliners will scream bloody murder, but your healthcare is getting worse. It's not getting
00:07:46.420 better, but you're accepting this mediocrity. Immigration, we need it. Do we really need all 1.00
00:07:53.600 the immigration we've had? What was it? 1.2 million people came into the country last year?
00:07:57.520 I don't think Carney and the liberals are doing much about it, folks. Do we really need it?
00:08:00.700 Youth unemployment is at 14%. And in every category for Canadians, more people are out
00:08:06.060 of work. But we need more people to work here. That's what we're told. Pipelines, you got
00:08:11.720 one. Why do you need more pipelines? Oil and gas made more money last year than ever. Stop
00:08:17.680 being a whiner, Alberta. All the lost revenue on natural resource projects over the years.
00:08:23.700 Hundreds of billions of dollars are lost. Daniel Smith has talked about this, but I'm told
00:08:27.480 to accept the mediocre, to manage this decline, to accept what the government is doing to me.
00:08:37.980 What are you going to accept next? Inferior cars? EVs? Now, an EV might work for you, but
00:08:43.660 the government's going to tell you that you need this. You have to have this, despite the
00:08:47.860 fact you don't want it. How about less travel because of higher prices? You don't think that's
00:08:52.660 coming. Mark Carney's talked about this. But should we be flying less now?
00:08:58.040 We should be taking into account the impact of our flying on the planet now. And that's
00:09:04.600 pushing up the tax on flying. You push up the tax on flying. You push up the costs on transport.
00:09:10.820 And that's in part what putting a price on carbon is.
00:09:13.580 Yeah. Your prime minister thinks they should raise the prices of traveling and then you
00:09:20.220 won't be able to travel. He will be able to. And the elites will be able to. Global warming
00:09:26.220 is about people who live large telling the rest of us how to live small. But what do leftists
00:09:31.560 always do? Now, not all of these things on the list are blamed on one thing. There's lots
00:09:37.840 of reasons. Most of it's government. And there's lots of other things I could have put on the
00:09:42.560 list. But what they do is they find a scapegoat. The reason you're not doing well is because
00:09:47.400 of this guy.
00:09:51.660 The decline that you're accepting was happening long before Donald Trump showed up. Donald
00:09:58.140 Trump is just a symptom. The liberals, your government are the disease. And a lot of people
00:10:05.440 vote for this. I don't accept this. Do you? Thank you very much for watching.
00:10:12.560 I do appreciate it. If you like the video, give me a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel,
00:10:16.580 ring the bell for notifications. And before I go, don't forget, October the 25th, 4 to
00:10:22.260 6 p.m., Edmonton, Alberta, Alberta legislature, huge independence rally. There's no reason why
00:10:29.980 you shouldn't be there. I'm asking you to be there.
00:10:32.920 Thanks for watching. See you tomorrow.
