Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is Tuesday, January the 13th. I hope you're having
00:00:07.940
a great start to your Tuesday morning. This video going live at 4.30 in the morning. I've got my
00:00:13.020
big blue mug of coffee. I think you just saw my cat Blue jump up onto his shelf back there.
00:00:19.140
And it's great to be with you today. Thanks so much for clicking on this video. By the way,
00:00:22.980
if you haven't clicked on subscribe yet, please click on subscribe. I'm just a little bit away
00:00:27.800
from 45,000 subscribers here. I would really appreciate it. So what to talk about today?
00:00:34.440
Well, first off, I want to say that I'm going to follow up on that video I did yesterday
00:00:38.800
on Senator Paula Simons, who had some incredibly disparaging remarks about what would amount to
00:00:46.880
millions of Albertans here who are part of the independence movement. I will follow up on that
00:00:50.940
and I'll let you know if anything happens. Okay. I'll put a card at the end if you haven't seen
00:00:55.540
the video. More than 24,000 people, I think, have seen that one already. So what to talk about
00:01:01.500
today? Well, I want to get around to my eventual topic for today, but a few things came across my
00:01:06.720
mind. There was this one. Peel Regional Police have identified or charged nine suspects in the
00:01:13.600
$20 million gold heist at Toronto Pearson International Airport. And here are the fine Canadians, folks,
00:01:19.300
that were part of that heist. You've got Parm Pal Sadu, Amit Jalada, Ahmad Chowdhury, Ali Raza,
00:01:28.020
Prasad Paramelino, Simram Preet Panesar, Archit Grover, Arsalan Chowdhury, and Durant King McLean,
00:01:37.180
a fine group of Canadians here. You have to wonder how they got through the vetting process when they
00:01:41.360
came to the country. And I wonder what government we had at that time. Moving along to this one,
00:01:46.240
seeing a lot of this online right now, as the numbers of people that went out to sign the
00:01:50.940
petition over the weekend were all over X, all over social media. It was an incredible weekend.
00:01:57.120
I feel very proud of what I did on Saturday night. You get this person here, Just Gus.
00:02:03.040
He has this to say, here's how I view separatists. They are the enemy of Canada. They have declared war
00:02:08.160
on Canada from the inside. They're domestic terrorists trying to concur a small part of Canada
00:02:14.100
and rip it away. Treat these effers according they are enemy of Canada. F you wrath. And I replied to
00:02:23.520
this myself, here is how I interpret your post. You are dumb. Now, I just want to say to you, Gus,
00:02:29.940
I'm sorry that you've got Parkinson's disease. I'm a better person than you. I hope you live well.
00:02:34.940
I hope you live well. And here's me actually on Saturday night signing the petition. So proud to
00:02:40.640
signed the petition last night at the event in Calgary. I was honored to be part of this epic
00:02:44.900
event. Let's go look at the people lined up here. They were lined up outside when I did this.
00:02:48.300
Just incredible. And this woman right here, I want to say hi to Heather. Heather, one of the
00:02:52.340
organizers of the event. Just an outstanding event. And then, of course, there's this story. You've
00:02:56.880
heard about this for ages. This is the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Ottawa bureaucracy up 80% in the
00:03:03.360
last decade, says the Canadian Taxpayer Federation. Just a quick line here. The report says the cost of
00:03:08.820
the federal bureaucracy increased 80% in the 10 years. The government added 99,000 bureaucrats
00:03:14.840
in the last decade. And the government rubber stamped $1.5 billion in bonuses since 2015. How
00:03:21.040
are your services since they've hired almost 100,000 people? How is your health care? Hasn't
00:03:26.860
improved much. This is what you get with the Liberals. But this is not what I want to talk about
00:03:30.580
today. I want to talk about this because right now I'm not actually here. I'm actually at this
00:03:38.380
time at 4.30 in the morning on Tuesday, January the 13th on an airplane. And I am high on Ativan
00:03:45.500
because I do not like to fly. It frightens me to death. But I'm in the air right now, probably
00:03:50.020
flying over the Caribbean Sea. And I'll be landing at this place very soon. I'll be in Panama. I'm
00:03:57.700
going to be in the rainforest, the Summit Rainforest and Golf Resort, which is just northwest of Panama
00:04:04.160
City. So I do have videos that will be going up over the next 10 days or so. I will be there for
00:04:10.260
10 days. And I plan on doing my channel from Panama. I think it will be very exciting. I'm hoping to do
00:04:16.420
some interviews as well, as long as my wife will allow me to do it. Now keep in mind, you'll probably
00:04:21.360
be seeing me later if you're in Alberta. But if you're in the east, I'm in the same time zone again.
00:04:27.400
So I'll be getting up a little bit later for people who normally watch me in Calgary, who are
00:04:32.020
on Mountain Time. But I am away right now. But you will see me over the next couple of weeks. There
00:04:36.960
may be some days when I don't have videos. But I hope to do a video every day. And I hope to show you
00:04:42.160
Panama. This is one of the few times I go away because I do not like to fly. It scares me to death,
00:04:50.120
absolutely frightens me to death. But I wanted to get away because I just don't like winter all that
00:04:55.160
much. This time of year, I get what's called SAD, seasonal affective disorder. And I get terribly
00:05:00.840
depressed. And I felt much better this year knowing that I'm going away. So that's what I
00:05:04.840
really wanted to talk about today. But I will be seeing you over the next 10 days or so. Thank
00:05:09.940
you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video. I know it wasn't much today. But if you
00:05:15.060
liked it, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, ring the bell for notifications. I'll see you
