00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Saturday, October the 11th. I hope you're
00:00:07.300 having a great start to your Saturday. It is 3.20 a.m. And just to prove it, here's
00:00:13.780 my old Seiko. It's called a Dancing Hands Watch. Very cool watch. It is 3.20 in the
00:00:18.800 morning. I've been up for going on two hours, I think. My wife was going to sleep as I was
00:00:25.000 getting up this morning. Couldn't sleep anymore and I thought I'll get up and shoot a video
00:00:28.120 because I'm going to have to get another hour of shut eye, probably before 6 o'clock. And
00:00:32.440 I figure if I did that, I wouldn't do a video today. And I had an idea before I went to bed
00:00:37.080 last night. By the way, I do have my big blue mug of coffee. It tastes oh so sweet at this
00:00:43.440 time of the morning. If you haven't subscribed to the channel, please click on subscribe.
00:00:47.240 So the idea I had was based on a tweet that I had in a video yesterday about government
00:00:51.340 run grocery stores. If you haven't seen it, I'll put a card at the end. Abby Lewis, who's
00:00:55.880 running for the leadership of the NDP, seems to think this is a good idea. And of course,
00:01:04.140 the liberals are going to need the support of somebody to get through the budget or there
00:01:08.320 could be a vote of non-confidence and the government will fall. So what are the liberals
00:01:12.000 willing to give the NDP? Government run grocery stores? Just because an idea is insane, folks,
00:01:16.960 doesn't mean it won't happen when it comes to politics. Thomas Sowell, right?
00:01:21.120 And what I did on that video yesterday, I had a tweet at the end that kind of explained
00:01:27.320 everything that was going on. And this guy named Kohl's, and here's the tweet right here
00:01:31.060 on the screen. This idea, meaning government run grocery stores, is not the result of increasing
00:01:36.500 general prosperity across Canada. This is a cope for a systemically degrading economy and country.
00:01:45.680 And I thought of the word cope. Now, you know about the five stages of grief. I always forget
00:01:51.720 what they are. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. So this video is the five stages
00:01:57.240 of liberal cope. So I wrote this down. I hope you don't mind if I read it off the screen. And maybe
00:02:03.000 what we can do here, a little exercise for you. Tell me if you have any additional things to add to
00:02:08.200 this list. Maybe there's more stages that I'm missing here, or there's other things that I haven't
00:02:12.960 referenced when it comes to the different stages of liberal cope. So number one, much like the five
00:02:18.500 stages of grief, you've got denial. Okay. So they deny anything is wrong. Everything is fine, you see,
00:02:24.840 despite the fact Canadian wages are falling behind other countries. Standard of living is dropping.
00:02:30.500 Food prices are rising. Deficits are astronomical. Tariffs are higher. Economic growth is stagnant.
00:02:37.240 Their country is even more divided than before. They think healthcare is free. Government is
00:02:42.620 responsible with money and the liberals are truthful and above reproach. In the mind of the liberal
00:02:47.480 voter trying to cope, everything is fine. So that's denial. Up next, we've got anger. Another
00:02:54.120 stage of grief. We've got anger. They lash out at anyone who won't accept their view that Canada is
00:03:00.860 perfect in every way. The economy is booming. The liberal party is supreme. And Mark Carney is the
00:03:07.520 smartest and most respected politician on the planet. If you disagree, you're Maple Mega, a traitor,
00:03:14.380 or a member of the Third Reich. They use words like, if you don't like it, you can always leave. So
00:03:20.880 that's the anger stage of cope for the liberals. Up next, this is something we're taking a little bit
00:03:26.720 of a different turn here, but you've got the PDSers. Now, what is a PDSer? You know what a TDSer is?
00:03:32.380 Well, these are the Polyev derangement syndrome people who live on the liberal side of the political
00:03:38.440 spectrum. Polyev derangement syndrome. Okay. They bring up where he lives. So they have to talk about
00:03:43.580 the fact that he lives at Stornoway and the taxpayers pay for his accommodations. They complain
00:03:50.260 that he lost his seat in Carleton all the time. He doesn't have his security clearance. They're still
00:03:56.140 talking about that. Has an ironclad pension, never had a job. Lash out at him for doing his job,
00:04:03.200 which they don't realize is criticizing the liberal government. He's the leader of the opposition.
00:04:09.380 They have an irrational hate for Pierre for rightfully pointing out that Canada is broken.
00:04:14.300 So these are the PDSers. And then we move on to the TDSers. Okay. So the five stages of liberal cope
00:04:21.080 is TDS. They've got Trump derangement syndrome. He lives rent-free in their brains and consumes
00:04:27.240 their lives. They blame all of their problems on Donald Trump. They voted for the liberals because
00:04:33.620 of Donald Trump. They voted for Carney because of Donald Trump. They voted against Pierre Polyev
00:04:40.200 because of Donald Trump. They ignore 10 years of Canadian decline because of Donald Trump.
00:04:47.560 They don't realize Trump is a symptom. Mark Carney and the liberals are the disease. And the final
00:04:54.480 stage of liberal cope, much like the stages of grief, is acceptance. They accept the continuing
00:05:01.540 decline of their country. They try to make Canada seem better by comparing it to the United States,
00:05:06.720 mentioning things like guns and health care and crime and education, as if dragging down the U.S.
00:05:12.000 raises up Canada. They quote, useless polls about Canada's superiority. They claim failure to negotiate
00:05:18.860 a deal with the United States is an indication of Mark Carney's superior negotiating skills. So we've
00:05:25.040 got anger. We've got denial, PDSers, TDSers, acceptance. I only hope that the liberals can have one
00:05:34.760 more stage when it comes to their politics, and that would be regret. Regret that they voted liberal
00:05:41.220 in the first place. Thanks very much for watching. Tell me what you think. Leave some comments below. I might
00:05:46.260 follow up on this one in a couple of days. If you like the video, please give it a thumbs up. Subscribe to the
00:05:51.340 channel. Ring the bell for notifications. I'm going to sit down for about a half an hour. I'm going to drink my big
00:05:56.720 blue mug of coffee and likely head back to bed around 5 a.m. to get some more shut-eye. Have a great
00:06:02.540 Saturday morning and a great weekend. I'll see you in the next one.
