Summary
It's Friday the 13th and I'm feeling a little down this morning. I didn't feel inspired when I got up this morning, and I don't know why. The G7 is happening outside of my home in Kananaskis, Alberta, and there's a lot going on in the world, but there's nothing that really grabbed me until a few minutes ago. I think it's this tweet from Marty up north.

Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is nine minutes after seven. I've got my big blue
00:00:09.900
mug of coffee. Hope you're having a great day today. It is Friday, June the 13th. It's Friday
00:00:16.020
the 13th today, so I hope you have a real lucky day today. And if you're here, thanks so much.

00:00:33.880
up. I've been up for hours. I've been up since 3.30. If you've been here before, you know I don't sleep
00:00:38.160
very much. But I just haven't felt inspired. There's nothing that really grabbed me until just
00:00:44.580
a few minutes ago. You know, there's lots going on. We've got the G7 happening on my doorstep just
00:00:50.900
outside Calgary in Kananaskis country. I think a big deal will be announced this weekend between
00:00:55.880
Carney and Trump. Trump is going to hand Carney his hat. Big loss for Canada. Won't change a single
00:01:01.900
Liberal voter's mind because the propaganda machine will be spinning by the end of the weekend. Just
00:01:07.100
wait for it. Everything is going to be all rosy and Liberal land here in Canada. You know, I did a
00:01:12.420
video about a week ago saying I think the Liberals will be in power for a long time and I think they're
00:01:16.500
setting themselves up to remain in power. They're going to take complete control of the media.
00:01:20.480
They're going to give a lot more money to the CBC and trench the CBC in law. They're going to give
00:01:26.160
more money to the legacy media. They're going to take control of what Carney calls pollution from
00:01:31.360
the United States and that's social media. They're going to start clamping down on independent media.
00:01:36.320
He's banning Rebel News from the G7 this weekend. I think independent voices like myself, I'm a small
00:01:41.700
player, will continue to be censored. A lot of people on YouTube will see that happening. I think it's
00:01:47.760
happening right now. But what popped up to inspire me this morning? Well, it was this tweet from Marty
00:01:54.140
up north. I met Marty when he was here for Polyev's visit in Calgary prior to the election. You see him
00:02:01.060
on with Clyde do something on YouTube very often. He's an Albertan. He's an independent minded
00:02:05.880
Albertan as well. He asked the question, Canada's conservatives need a complete makeover. Is that
00:02:11.100
too much to ask for? And it's something I've been thinking about a lot since the election campaign.
00:02:16.420
I believe conservatives need to get more emotional. I always say liberals are emotional. Conservatives
00:02:24.660
are logical. Conservatives want things like less regulation, less spending, lower immigration,
00:02:31.880
smaller government, better home prices, lower prices, a better standard of living,
00:02:37.100
lower taxes, on and on and on. But conservatives need to get more emotional. Not give up on our
00:02:42.840
conservative values. Maybe even get more conservative in some ways, but get more emotional.
00:02:49.000
The conservatives right now in the House of Commons have the same message they had prior
00:02:53.400
to the election and even when Justin Trudeau was still the prime minister. This is the kind of thing
00:03:00.120
conservatives are talking about right now. You think this would be something people would vote for,
00:03:08.160
The ask is simple. When will taxpayers get their money back?
00:03:11.940
Stand up, tell us what date are Canadians getting their $100 million back? When?
00:03:17.940
When will the Canadian taxpayer get their money back?
00:03:23.040
When will the hardworking men and women of this country get their money back?
00:03:28.020
When will the liberals turn off the taps to their friends and focus instead on clawing back the money
00:03:34.920
When will the liberal prime minister get the money back that his government took from every
00:03:40.580
I asked the prime minister again, when will taxpayers get their money back?
00:03:45.440
You would think that message would be something that would ring true with most Canadians, but
00:03:50.380
it doesn't with liberal voters. These are people who think the federal government has a massive
00:03:55.440
stash of money that they hand out to the provinces, not realizing it's their cash. The same people who think
00:04:01.420
Canada's health care is free when it's very expensive, inefficient, and needs an overhaul.
00:04:07.560
You're a logical person. They're an emotional person.
00:04:11.600
I mean, the liberals are still running with the same message they had prior to the election,
00:04:18.440
I don't think we can change Donald Trump. I don't think so. Not at this stage. And a person who draws
00:04:25.280
his inspiration from President Trump, like Pierre Polyev, will kneel down before him, before he stands
00:04:33.780
There are still people who say that the Trump effect wasn't the reason why Pierre Polyev lost the election.
00:04:41.580
Well, the liberals tapped into the emotion of hating Donald Trump, and it continues online today.
00:04:48.560
Constantly, people going on how they'll never buy anything from the United States again, never visit
00:04:52.620
the United States. It's a dangerous place. They've been programmed, and they're emotional about it.
00:04:57.160
Going back to Marty's tweet, Canada's conservatives need a complete makeover. What does that mean?
00:05:02.480
I did a video yesterday. The fish rots from the head down. Does Pierre Polyev have to go? Who do you
00:05:10.420
replace him with? You and I know that he did very well during the election. He came in second.
00:05:16.100
Second place is the first loser. But who do you replace him with? And how do you tap into emotion
00:05:22.560
if you're a conservative? Conservatives say the government is wasting their money. Does that tap
00:05:27.480
into emotion? No, not like we hate Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the reason why you needed to vote
00:05:33.360
for liberal because Mark Carney's the best person to negotiate with Donald Trump. How do you tap into
00:05:38.060
that? They didn't do a good job of that, and Polyev didn't do that. Housing prices are too high,
00:05:43.840
debt has been doubled. That doesn't connect with people. I often said, you know, you have to tell
00:05:49.240
people how much extra they're paying at the pump because of the carbon tax. Not say the carbon tax
00:05:56.040
is costing them money. How much every time they fill up. My wife years ago came up with a campaign
00:06:04.020
for the conservatives. I still think they should use, and they could use in the next election.
00:06:08.740
Instead of talking about the government wasting their money, what is it costing the average taxpayer?
00:06:14.220
And her plan was this. A series of different commercials. A delivery truck shows up in front
00:06:22.000
of somebody's house, and they start rolling a dishwasher up to the front door, and the people
00:06:27.660
with big smiles on their face, ready to accept the dishwasher when a man in a black suit shows up and
00:06:34.060
rolls the dishwasher away again and puts it into another truck. And on the side of the truck, it says
00:06:39.800
Liberal Party of Canada. You could do that with, you know, buying a new computer or going on a trip.
00:06:47.300
And at the end, you say, what have the Liberals cost you? And that's the kind of thing that taps
00:06:54.460
into emotion. I still think the conservatives should use that. I think it's a great idea,
00:06:59.160
but they didn't do that. Telling people that the government is wasting money,
00:07:03.700
that's like people waking up in the morning. It's something you just expect.
00:07:08.060
So we need to tap into that emotion. That's the important thing that conservatives need to do.
00:07:13.120
Don't give up your conservative values, but convey a message to people that really resonates. And I
00:07:19.840
don't think the conservatives are there right now. I think Polyev will last the summer, and I think the
00:07:25.620
knives will come out. I've mentioned it here on this channel before. What do you think? Let me know
