John Bolton - Poilievre was GREAT! - I'm now MORE CONVINCED Canada is dead

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 714 a.m. Friday, August the 8th with the Big Blue

00:00:10.100 Mug of Coffee. I hope you're having a great day today. Looking forward to the weekend,

00:00:13.840 no doubt. I appreciate you being here. If you are a subscriber to this channel, thanks so much.

00:00:18.640 If you're not, please click on subscribe. Thank you. I spent the last several hours thinking

00:00:26.880 about Pierre Polyev and his news conference yesterday on the Canadian Sovereignty Act.

00:00:32.680 I have to say Pierre Polyev was excellent. Very strong. I did a video on this, which I'll put a

00:00:38.700 card at the end. You can watch it. How weak Kearney is, how strong Polyev. Just terrific. He was great

00:00:44.220 yesterday. It was very refreshing to see him speaking, and I felt this at times, speaking like

00:00:50.880 an Albertan. I know he's from here, but he's been living in Ottawa. And that stink eventually gets

00:00:57.400 on you if you live in that area. And the stink is now dissipating. He sounded like an Albertan

00:01:04.440 yesterday. It was very refreshing. But I thought he was very strong. But I thought about it,

00:01:11.480 particularly this morning, and I'm more convinced than ever that Canada is dead, that Canada is a

00:01:17.200 lost cause, that Alberta needs to leave. I know it's very strange, but it just got me thinking

00:01:22.720 about how much division there is in this country. His Canadian Sovereignty Act, without getting in it

00:01:28.720 too deeply, has basically drawn a line in the sand for Mark Kearney to get things done and giving him

00:01:34.120 a timeline to do it. But it won't get done. You need to think back to the election campaign and what

00:01:44.560 Kearney's been talking about since he became the leader of the Liberal Party.

00:01:49.600 What has been his message? Now, I want you to leave Donald Trump and tariffs out of this. I know

00:01:54.720 that's hard. It's like a black hole where everything gets sucked in. Trump and tariffs. But leave that

00:01:59.600 out of it. What was his message? Think about what he stood behind when he went out to rallies.

00:02:05.560 What did it say? Two words, generally. And I think it's still on their website.

00:02:08.960 Canada strong. What does that mean? It means unity, working together, bringing down barriers

00:02:16.720 between provinces to get things done. Are we more unified now than we were before he became

00:02:25.040 Prime Minister on election night, April the 28th? No. It's worse now than it was before.

00:02:31.520 There's more barriers in the way to getting things done. And I think this is the plan.

00:02:36.160 Bill C-5 was supposed to be the thing that's getting things done. I don't know what they call

00:02:42.800 it. They're getting things done or get things built in Canada bill or something. It's some

00:02:47.200 nonsense. But if you look at really what Bill C-5 has done now, and Kearney has said this many times.

00:02:53.360 He said it during the election campaign and he's said it since. But this is what is in there. And this

00:02:58.160 is what really stood out for me. Before recommending that an order be made under any of the subsections of

00:03:03.760 one, three, and four, the minister must consult with any other federal minister and any provincial

00:03:09.520 or territorial government that the minister considers appropriate and with indigenous peoples

00:03:13.840 whose rights recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act of 1982. So,

00:03:20.800 Kearney merely calls these things the consensus, but he's now thrown in the way of getting things done,

00:03:27.200 these consultations with provinces and consultations with indigenous people. I've called them his outs 1.00

00:03:34.160 because he doesn't want to do these things or vetoes. This is the additional barrier that's on top of all

00:03:41.120 the other things that are in the way, which Polly have brought up yesterday. We need to get rid of Bill

00:03:45.680 C-69, the no pipelines law. We need to get rid of Bill C-48, the no tanker ban. We need to get rid of the

00:03:52.800 plastics ban, the EV mandate, the emissions caps. All of these things must go. The demands of Daniel

00:03:59.040 Smith. Nine things, but none of them have been removed. An additional barrier has gotten in the

00:04:04.880 way and that's Bill C-5. And who determines what gets done? It'll come down to Mark Kearney and the

00:04:12.000 Liberal Party. And we know what they want to do, which is not what Alberta wants to do. Everybody can

00:04:19.520 agree we need to get things built, but we can't agree on what needs to get built. What Alberta wants 0.93

00:04:26.160 is not what BC wants. It's not what Manitoba wants. It's not what Quebec wants. It's not what Nova Scotia

00:04:34.000 wants. We all have different ideas on what needs to get built. Alberta needs to leave. 1.00

00:04:41.360 Yesterday, a reporter asked Polly have about British Columbia. David Eby says there's no

00:04:50.080 there's no investment in a pipeline out there, so why are we even talking about it is basically

00:04:54.480 what he's been saying. Is it Tim Hodgson, who's the energy minister under Kearney, says the same thing.

00:05:00.080 Here's what David Eby says over and over and over again. This is one of the barriers in the way.

00:05:05.520 For the pipeline project that Premier Smith is a great enthusiast of, a heavy oil pipeline project,

00:05:10.560 there is no project, there is no proponent, there is no private sector money involved at all that I'm aware

00:05:17.120 of.

00:05:19.680 Polly have says, well, it's the old chicken, the egg story, and he's absolutely right. 0.99

00:05:26.640 Who is going to invest in our country when all those things I just talked about 69,

00:05:30.240 48, emissions cap, EV. Who's going to invest in our country? Until we get rid of those things,

00:05:35.280 we'll never have investment. So this is a barrier, this in the way. He says David Eby is just a single

00:05:40.320 man. He can't stand in the way of these things. British Columbians want a pipeline. Albertans want

00:05:45.600 a pipeline. Canada wants a pipeline. He can't stand in the way, but it's written into Bill C-5. The

00:05:50.000 province says no. It's just another barrier in the way on top of all those other things. And then

00:05:58.560 there's this. This is an article from yesterday. This is really going to get in the way. And then

00:06:05.520 hold tight. Ontario First Nation asked for a halt to ring a fire mining development.

00:06:14.800 That's the aboriginal part that's been added in with Bill C-5. They're asking now, they eventually 0.97

00:06:20.400 demand, then they'll protest, then they'll go to the courts. And nothing will get built.

00:06:25.920 That's what's going to happen. All of these things, why is Carney wanting to do this? Well,

00:06:35.200 it's all wrapped up in climate change. The previous liberal government under

00:06:39.120 Trudeau, that's what it was about. That's what Bill C-69 is about. 48 is about the EV mandate,

00:06:44.640 emissions cap, the plastics ban. It's all about climate change. And those provinces I mentioned,

00:06:50.800 British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, right across the country, they all think the same

00:06:55.760 thing, even though Tim Houston, the premier of Nova Scotia, calls himself a progressive conservative.

00:07:00.400 That's what he's about as well. Now, there's something else that came to mind that I thought

00:07:04.560 about when I was thinking about the Canadian Sovereignty Act. And again, if this were to pass,

00:07:10.880 and we enacted this exactly the way Paulieff said, it would be great, but it won't get done.

00:07:16.400 But there were other things that have been forgotten since the election campaign. Again,

00:07:20.560 that big black hole of Donald Trump and tariffs has sucked everything away. This was an issue 0.92

00:07:25.520 for a short time during the election campaign. There's something else that actually popped up

00:07:29.040 here. But let me just show you, this is the liberal website. Now, you have to remember that

00:07:34.880 government hasn't sat much this year, probably less than 20 days. They're not back until

00:07:40.080 around September 15th. They're only going to sit the government, I think, 73 days this whole year.

00:07:44.240 Isn't that disgraceful? Paulieff would have had them sitting all summer to get things done.

00:07:48.800 But there's this, this is the liberal website. And Mark Carney led liberal government will conserve

00:07:56.000 nature and biodiversity, including by creating 10 new national parks and marine conservation areas,

00:08:01.120 and 15 new urban parks. He said he was going to do this. What did people say at the time? Well,

00:08:07.280 I think I did a video at the time where I put national parks all the way around Alberta,

00:08:12.160 right down to the United States border. So you put a national park there,

00:08:15.360 no pipeline is going to go through there. Nobody's ever going to get any natural resources,

00:08:21.200 make a great big giant national park, nothing will ever get done or put through those places

00:08:25.360 because it's a national park. So this is a way of putting something else in the way, another barrier.

00:08:30.640 But there's something else I saw here this morning that I don't remember him talking about. There's

00:08:36.240 this one here. Let's go back to the aboriginals. Enshrine First Nations right to water into law. 1.00

00:08:45.360 Boy, there's a barrier for you. Because pretty much anywhere you go in this country, there's a

00:08:51.520 stream, there's a brook, there's a pond, there's a lake, there's a river, there's a puddle

00:08:58.240 that First Nations could use to get in the way of any natural resource project or pipeline that wants

00:09:04.800 to be built in this country. Just another barrier. Let me tell you a quick story.

00:09:09.040 Personal story here. When I lived back in Cornwall, Ontario, I lived near the 401 main highway.

00:09:20.240 And I asked my MPP, the equivalent to an MLA, the provincial leader there and the provincial elected

00:09:32.160 official there. His name was Jim Brownell. I asked him why we didn't have a sound barrier along the

00:09:36.160 highway. And he said, I don't know. Well, we eventually got it okayed and they put in a six

00:09:41.360 million dollar sound barrier along the highway. If you were to look at Google Maps and Street View,

00:09:46.400 you'd see it there. They call it the Bolton barrier in Cornwall. My wife and I did this.

00:09:50.240 Six million dollars. But before they put it in, they held it up for several months because there was

00:09:55.840 a ditch that ran along the highway that about a month a year had some water in it and they had to

00:10:02.000 do an environmental assessment on the puddle. I'm not kidding. This is the kind of thing

00:10:10.320 that will happen if you enshrine First Nations right to water into law. I'm more convinced than 0.99

00:10:16.400 ever after watching Pierre Polly of yesterday and talk about his Canadian Sovereignty Act. And again,

00:10:22.240 he was terrific. I'm more convinced than ever that nothing's ever going to get built in this country.

00:10:28.080 And this country is not unifying. It is dividing. It's not Canada strong. It's Canada weak. I want

00:10:36.640 Alberta to be strong and free. Let me know what you think. Give me a thumbs up if you like the video.

00:10:43.280 Please subscribe to the channel. Ring the bell for notifications. I tip my big blue mug to you.

00:10:48.160 Have yourself a great Friday. See you in the next one.
