Hi there, it's John. Welcome to the channel. It is Saturday, December the 21st.
00:00:04.440
Four sleeps until Santa. Four sleeps until Christmas Day. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
00:00:09.040
Big blue mug of coffee this morning at 4.57 a.m.
00:00:13.740
And I am pissed off this morning. Really pissed off.
00:00:18.440
And you may think it's because of what happened yesterday. And yeah, I'm with you.
00:00:22.840
You know, we had a cabinet shuffle yesterday that ended up being the smaller story of the day.
00:00:27.360
Who cares about the cabinet shuffle? Again, there are apparently a bunch of liberals who turned them down yesterday.
00:00:32.420
That's the big story. But the big story yesterday.
00:00:35.840
I'm out at an eye appointment for my wife, just sitting waiting for her to come out.
00:00:40.840
And I get the news that Jagmeet Singh has released a letter to fellow Canadians.
00:00:45.420
Here it is on the screen, saying that they're going to vote to bring down the government now because they want Justin Trudeau to resign.
00:00:52.180
And of course, you're mad about that. And you know exactly why you're mad about that.
00:00:56.500
Paulyev puts out a tweet. Oh, isn't that convenient?
00:01:01.160
Government is out until January 27th. We can't vote on anything.
00:01:05.540
You're going to get your pension in late February if there's an unconfidence vote.
00:01:09.380
I don't think that's going to happen. I think it's a lie, first off.
00:01:12.840
I don't trust Jagmeet Singh as far as I can throw him, and you shouldn't either.
00:01:16.080
So then Paulyev walks out. I'm not going to show you the video because you know what happened.
00:01:21.220
He says he's writing the Governor General. The Bloc now don't support the government.
00:01:26.100
The NDP don't support the government. The Conservatives don't support the government.
00:01:29.880
Bring Parliament back. We'll vote a non-confidence. We'll have an election.
00:01:32.920
It ain't going to happen, folks. It's not going to happen. It's infuriating.
00:01:35.780
But what you should be infuriated about is the pension itself.
00:01:45.040
You know, there's not enough people talking about the fact that Jagmeet Singh
00:01:48.640
is going to get a $2.3 million pension when he turns 55
00:01:57.260
You work your whole life, 40 years of your life,
00:02:04.700
and at the end of it, you won't be able to afford dog food to eat when you're done,
00:02:08.520
and Singh's going to get $2.3 million when he turns the age of 55
00:02:18.140
Stephen Harper introduced pension reform back in 2012,
00:02:23.360
but the average payout per MP, average, $59,307 a year.
00:02:49.220
Trudeau would be gone by now if it wasn't for him.
00:02:51.580
We wouldn't be dealing with this right now if it wasn't for him.
00:03:02.360
He's the prime minister of the freaking country,
00:03:14.760
is because he's not going to get re-elected in October, probably.
00:03:19.060
Oh yeah, but he's the leader of a federal party in Canada.
00:03:33.000
And he's going to get paid $2.3 million for working six years?
00:03:43.920
if you're elected, you know, as the prime minister,
00:03:46.920
are you going to do away with these ridiculous pensions?
00:03:50.480
You should at least have to have maybe, you know,
00:03:56.280
He's only got one and a half, got elected in 2019.
00:04:09.380
I'm going to have some scraps coming in pretty soon
00:04:34.380
We've got important things to talk about with Donald Trump.
00:05:00.120
that was almost entirely focused on the Canada-U.S. dynamic.
00:05:07.840
that we be there to protect not just the Canadian economy,
00:05:19.860
On vient d'avoir une très bonne rencontre du cabinet
00:05:42.340
de ce que l'administration américaine va faire.
00:05:49.400
Est-ce que vous pensez que vous pensez qu'il est un parrogue ?
