00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 542 AM.
00:00:08.780 Hope you're having a great day today.
00:00:10.220 I've got my big blue mug of coffee, Friday, June the 27th.
00:00:13.980 I haven't given up the coffee yet.
00:00:15.940 I think I'm going to cut back later in the day to save a few bucks.
00:00:19.040 I mentioned yesterday I can hardly afford the cream anymore.
00:00:21.380 Everything's so unaffordable in this country.
00:00:23.840 But it is a great day today.
00:00:25.760 As we go into the weekend, I was just looking at the calendar.
00:00:28.120 Tuesday is Canada Day, and I was thinking it could be one of the final Canada Days we
00:00:33.480 celebrate here in Alberta, because we're expecting an independence vote next year.
00:00:39.480 Today's video is a good news video, despite the fact that there's lots of stuff in here
00:00:46.140 that's really bad.
00:00:47.880 I'm not sure exactly what the thumbnail is going to be for this video.
00:00:50.940 I haven't made it yet.
00:00:51.700 Something like, thank you, Mark Carney and Liberal Party of Canada.
00:00:54.840 Something like that.
00:00:55.520 Continue to do what you're doing, because if they continue to do what they're doing for
00:00:59.620 the people who live in Canada, a new vote could be coming sooner before later, and maybe
00:01:05.420 a new government, although I don't think it will be much better.
00:01:08.240 A little bit with the Conservatives, but I think Canada's lost.
00:01:11.820 For the independence movement, we've got more fodder.
00:01:14.560 To convince people, we need to get out of Canada.
00:01:17.200 No disrespect to Canada.
00:01:18.800 No disrespect to you.
00:01:20.060 But we just, we're like the neighbor who lives next door.
00:01:23.460 We're good friends, but we're in a different house.
00:01:26.460 So, let's look at a few things that the Liberals are doing right now.
00:01:30.780 And it just goes to show, it's the same party.
00:01:33.760 We told you, if you voted for these people, it's the same party.
00:01:37.220 The same lies.
00:01:38.500 The same waste.
00:01:39.420 The same corruption.
00:01:41.000 Different coat of paint.
00:01:42.420 Mark Carney.
00:01:43.020 It's the same government that screwed up Canada for 10 years, and you voted for it because
00:01:48.280 Donald Trump lives rent-free in your brain.
00:01:51.820 Shame on you.
00:01:55.300 First story.
00:01:57.140 You heard this one.
00:02:00.060 Federal Infrastructure Bank provided a billion dollars in financing for BC Ferries' purchase
00:02:05.780 of four new Chinese-made ships.
00:02:07.840 A billion dollars to the Communist Chinese when we can build things here in Canada. 1.00
00:02:11.960 Canada strong, folks!
00:02:15.740 Now, I'm going to take you back to June 11th with this.
00:02:19.760 And listen to what he's talking about in this video, okay?
00:02:24.800 Because it's much worse than what he talks about.
00:02:27.580 It's a billion dollars we're talking about here.
00:02:29.600 Back on June 11th, the amount of money he was talking about was disgraceful.
00:02:34.320 And it's now disgraceful to the nth degree.
00:02:36.520 Mr. Speaker, BC Ferries just announced that they will purchase four new full-sized ferries
00:02:45.460 from a Chinese state-owned company rather than from a proven Canadian shipbuilder such
00:02:50.420 as C-SPAN in North Vancouver.
00:02:52.120 Yet the Liberals are set to hand over 30 million dollars to BC Ferries, while BC Ferries hands
00:02:57.700 over critical jobs, investment in industry to China.
00:03:01.240 Will the Liberals attach a common-sense condition of buying Canadian-built ships to BC Ferries
00:03:07.620 in order to receive their $30 million subsidy?
00:03:10.960 He's talking about a $30 million subsidy from the federal government to BC Ferries.
00:03:15.600 $30 million.
00:03:16.600 And it was ridiculous then.
00:03:19.280 But what did Christy Freeland have to say about this?
00:03:22.680 Listen to what she says.
00:03:25.340 Mr. Speaker...
00:03:27.000 And look at her face.
00:03:27.860 I think she knows the billion dollars is gone.
00:03:30.820 I want to thank the member opposite for that important question.
00:03:35.840 I absolutely share his concern when it comes to government procurement at all levels.
00:03:44.340 Now is a time when we need to support Canadian workers and Canadian industries.
00:03:49.080 Now is the time when we need to support Canadian workers and Canadian industries.
00:03:53.780 And we need to work closely with our allies and trade partners.
00:03:58.140 That project, Mr. Speaker, was not a federal government project.
00:04:02.660 This woman has no shame. 0.96
00:04:04.080 You realize why she quit as the finance minister?
00:04:06.820 Because the job is going to be handed over to Mark Carney, who's now the prime minister
00:04:10.200 of this country.
00:04:11.040 How she can still be a liberal and be in this party after the way they treated her? 1.00
00:04:16.020 She has no shame whatsoever.
00:04:17.480 Here's Ezra Levant.
00:04:19.000 Sounds like Mark Carney is doing some favors for his Chinese friends.
00:04:21.780 Canada borrows money to subsidize China to compete against our own shipbuilders, all while they 0.94
00:04:28.100 have 100% tariffs on our canola.
00:04:31.000 A disgrace in every way.
00:04:33.160 I don't believe...
00:04:34.360 Now you can maybe put something in the description.
00:04:37.260 I don't believe the word canola has passed the lips of Mark Carney.
00:04:40.600 I know Scott Moe in Saskatchewan is pissed off about it.
00:04:46.440 I mentioned yesterday they're now going all in on mines because of the climate economy.
00:04:52.500 I think Mark Carney is trying to put in place here in Canada, but they won't commit to oil
00:04:56.580 pipelines.
00:04:57.620 Alberta and Saskatchewan, wake up.
00:05:00.400 Here's next.
00:05:00.980 Failed New Zealand's scheme is a cautionary tale for Carney's home building agency report.
00:05:05.480 So Carney wants to create a massive government program to build houses.
00:05:11.000 And instead of letting the people who know how to do it, the real estate industry, build
00:05:14.380 houses, Carney thinks he can create this massive bureaucracy to build houses in this country.
00:05:19.460 KiwiBuild had a goal of building 100,000 affordable housing units in a decade.
00:05:24.040 It completed just 2,389 units by 2024.
00:05:28.160 One of the reasons why Jacinda Ardern's government fell. 0.97
00:05:33.060 But this is the part in the story I want to read to you.
00:05:36.500 Carney has promised billions in subsidies to prefabricated and modular home builders
00:05:41.720 as part of his plan to double the rate of housing construction
00:05:44.540 and build 500,000 new homes a year within a decade.
00:05:48.800 Carney, Brookfield, Modulaire.
00:05:52.340 Look it up online.
00:05:53.380 I've shown pictures of the Modulaire homes.
00:05:55.320 They are nothing more than shipping containers stacked on top of each other.
00:05:59.300 And Carney's going to give money probably to his friends to enrich them
00:06:02.140 and probably enrich himself.
00:06:05.820 Next story.
00:06:07.420 The Building Canada Act will likely make things worse, not better.
00:06:10.220 This is Bill C-5, folks.
00:06:13.020 And this is an amazing article going on about how complete control
00:06:17.780 has gone to Mark Carney and his cabinet
00:06:20.280 to give a thumbs up or a thumbs down to different projects.
00:06:24.420 They could have gotten rid of Bill C-69 and Bill C-48.
00:06:28.740 That's the No New Pipelines law.
00:06:30.500 That's the tanker ban.
00:06:31.680 They could have just gotten rid of those things
00:06:33.400 and we could have started building things.
00:06:34.880 Now they have complete control.
00:06:38.160 We go down here in the article.
00:06:39.360 Consider the ambiguity in the legislation
00:06:41.920 and how it empowers discretionary decisions by the cabinet.
00:06:45.540 Cabinet may consider any factor it considers relevant,
00:06:49.540 including the extent to which the project
00:06:52.040 can strengthen Canada's autonomy, resilience, and security,
00:06:55.700 or provide economic benefits to Canada,
00:06:58.160 or advance the interests of Indigenous peoples,
00:07:00.520 or contribute to the clean growth
00:07:02.840 and to meeting Canada's objectives with respect to climate change.
00:07:05.780 With such criteria, nearly anything cabinet
00:07:08.900 or the prime minister can dream up
00:07:10.400 could be deemed in the national interest
00:07:12.360 and therefore provide the prime minister
00:07:14.380 with unprecedented and near unilateral powers.
00:07:18.280 In the preamble to the legislation,
00:07:20.280 the government says it wants an accelerated approval process
00:07:23.000 that enhances regulatory certainty and investor confidence.
00:07:26.960 In all likelihood, Bill C-5 will do the opposite.
00:07:30.560 It will put more power in the hands
00:07:32.220 of a very few members of the government,
00:07:34.180 encourage cronyism, risk outright corruption,
00:07:37.140 and make Canada even less attractive to investment.
00:07:39.960 Now, we go back to the top of this article
00:07:41.900 and you look at the date on it, June 26th.
00:07:46.140 The Building Canada Act will likely make things worse.
00:07:48.620 Same day, June 26th,
00:07:50.040 Senate adopts Carney's fast-track major projects bill
00:07:52.620 well before Canada Day deadline.
00:07:54.820 Now, the Kool-Aid drinkers who supported this party love this.
00:07:58.280 They think this is great.
00:08:00.460 This is dangerous.
00:08:02.160 Shame on the Conservatives for supporting it.
00:08:04.180 Of course, we can move on to this story.
00:08:05.900 We don't have to go too deep into this.
00:08:07.960 Electric vehicle mandate risks being next carbon tax without adjustments.
00:08:11.540 EV industry warns.
00:08:13.300 You betcha.
00:08:14.300 Down here, let me see if I can find the part.
00:08:17.940 While manufacturers have long expressed opposition
00:08:20.400 to the government mandating the sale of electric vehicles,
00:08:23.820 Ford Canada CEO Bev Goodman
00:08:25.700 recently called for the regulation to be scrapped
00:08:28.380 in light of falling sales of these vehicles.
00:08:31.200 The only way they sell is if you subsidize people to buy them.
00:08:35.480 The only people who can afford to buy them
00:08:37.780 are people who have a lot of money
00:08:39.620 because these vehicles are too expensive
00:08:41.320 for people who live on modest incomes
00:08:43.360 to buy them in the first place.
00:08:44.860 So, within 10 years,
00:08:46.360 you're not going to be able to buy the car you want in this country.
00:08:49.280 I see so many people online who think this is just fine.
00:08:54.220 They want big daddy government
00:08:55.540 to dictate what they can do,
00:08:58.140 what they can buy,
00:08:59.380 what they can drive.
00:09:00.700 The Kool-Aid drinkers.
00:09:02.080 Is this really what you want?
00:09:05.100 Next story.
00:09:07.100 Questions raised over a $258,000 table for the G7 Summit.
00:09:12.320 I'm not going to go deeply into this.
00:09:14.440 This was the table they were sitting around
00:09:16.780 during the summit.
00:09:18.060 A Calgary furniture builder
00:09:20.360 got paid a quarter of a million dollars
00:09:24.440 to build a freaking table
00:09:26.120 and some other tables for this meeting.
00:09:28.560 This is your government at work.
00:09:30.840 Meanwhile, over here,
00:09:32.700 desire to leave Canada has never been higher in Alberta.
00:09:35.520 Premier Danielle Smith says,
00:09:36.700 listen folks,
00:09:37.540 despite what you heard over the last week
00:09:39.260 after the by-elections on Monday,
00:09:40.700 this movement is growing.
00:09:41.820 I put a call out yesterday
00:09:45.620 to set up another interview
00:09:47.040 with one of the independent speakers.
00:09:49.320 I mentioned his name yesterday.
00:09:50.540 Jeff Rath might be on the show hopefully soon.
00:09:53.380 But this movement is growing, folks.
00:09:55.660 And the more we see stuff like this,
00:09:57.740 the sooner independence comes from Alberta
00:09:59.340 and the sooner those of you in Canada
00:10:01.060 can get rid of this government.
00:10:02.600 Now, here's the last thing.
00:10:04.580 Here's the kicker.
00:10:05.500 I like kickers.
00:10:06.780 Let's go back to December 2nd, 2024.
00:10:11.760 Here we go.
00:10:12.720 Prime Minister,
00:10:13.440 what was it a productive meeting with the president?
00:10:15.900 It was an excellent conversation.
00:10:17.900 And Fox has exclusive details
00:10:20.240 about how that Mar-a-Lago sit-down went.
00:10:23.040 The two talked tariffs
00:10:24.000 over crab cocktail and oysters.
00:10:26.400 At one point,
00:10:27.620 Trump told Trudeau
00:10:28.680 to get our trade deficit under control,
00:10:30.640 telling the prime minister
00:10:31.980 it is unacceptable for the U.S.
00:10:33.960 to run up to like
00:10:35.240 a $100 billion trade deficit.
00:10:37.820 And if they don't,
00:10:39.160 they can expect a flat 25% tariff
00:10:41.740 on all Canadian goods day one.
00:10:44.840 Trudeau apparently wasn't thrilled.
00:10:46.740 Sacre bleu,
00:10:48.060 you will kill our economy, he said.
00:10:50.300 Then Trump said,
00:10:51.180 if Canada can't survive
00:10:52.240 without ripping off the U.S.,
00:10:53.940 they're free to join America
00:10:55.360 as our 51st state.
00:10:57.460 December 2nd, 2024.
00:11:00.980 Pierre Polyev riding high
00:11:02.560 in the polls at that time.
00:11:04.580 Justin Trudeau
00:11:05.660 sitting down a few days later
00:11:07.640 with some of the premiers,
00:11:08.660 not my premier,
00:11:09.440 who was trying to be diplomatic
00:11:11.300 in dealing with Donald Trump
00:11:12.760 and ended up getting a drop
00:11:14.100 in the tariffs on our oil and gas industry
00:11:15.780 from 25% to 10%.
00:11:17.420 December, January, February,
00:11:21.660 March, April, May, June.
00:11:25.640 All those months have gone by.
00:11:27.200 The great negotiator, Mark Carney,
00:11:30.700 said the other day,
00:11:31.880 it's not likely they're going to come up
00:11:33.120 with a deal on these tariffs
00:11:34.220 in the next 30 days.
00:11:35.920 Mr. Carney, Liberal Party of Canada,
00:11:38.400 keep doing what you're doing.
00:11:42.000 Because the people of Canada
00:11:43.280 want to vote again
00:11:44.220 to get rid of you,
00:11:45.060 and they will soon.
00:11:46.740 And the people of Alberta
00:11:47.760 want our independence.
00:11:49.240 Thanks so much for watching.
00:11:50.400 I do appreciate it.
00:11:51.500 Hope you enjoyed the video.
00:11:52.540 If you did enjoy the video,
00:11:55.420 please give me a thumbs up,
00:11:57.180 subscribe to the channel,
00:11:58.320 ring the bell for notifications,
00:11:59.840 and I will see you in the next one.
