Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is 4.57 a.m. It is Thursday, April the 17th with the
00:00:06.000
big blue mug of coffee. Hope you're having a great day today. And I've got a little bit of
00:00:10.460
a different take on the French language debate from last night. You may have a bit of a hangover
00:00:15.940
from watching it. I did not watch it. I followed along on X. I followed along on a threat on the
00:00:22.600
National Post website. And I'm glad I didn't watch it. Now, I generally don't like watching
00:00:26.940
French language debates because you don't get the nuance of what the person is trying
00:00:31.660
to say because somebody else is speaking for them. I don't like that at all. But I did follow
00:00:37.280
along and I knew I made the right decision when I heard about this happening in the debate.
00:00:43.540
And I thought, are we a freaking ridiculous country or what?
00:00:47.500
Now, 70% of Canadians say that they're buying fewer American products. It's a big number.
00:00:55.460
You leaders, could you please name me one Made in USA product that you no longer buy?
00:01:07.800
I buy Quebec strawberries and I do my own shopping, by the way.
00:01:13.800
No more wine, no more alcohol, no more American alcohol.
00:01:17.800
I do my own shopping, and I cook at home. Lots of products. Fruits, there's a lot of Canadian apples.
00:01:29.140
Yes, I'm making an effort with apples, other fruit, strawberries. Strawberries. Everyone is eating a lot of strawberries these days.
00:01:39.140
I bring it up because I do my own grocery shopping, which Carney does not.
00:01:55.480
It's beef in my case. I buy Canadian beef. It's the best beef in the world.
00:02:10.820
I don't know whether to get mad or just laugh out loud.
00:02:16.320
Yeah, I know they talked about a lot of other things, but it means nothing.
00:02:20.820
This is what Canada is now, ladies and gentlemen. This is what we've become.
00:02:25.980
70% of Canadians are buying less American products. Why?
00:02:30.420
Don't be stupid. Buy what you can afford, because you can't afford anything.
00:02:34.020
Because the guy at the far left there, Mark Carney and the Liberals, have screwed you over for the last 10 years.
00:02:42.660
These people are running to be the leader of our country, and we get a stupid question like this?
00:02:48.460
At least Paulyev was laughing, as he said he was buying beef, which I can't afford anymore, because of the Liberals.
00:02:55.500
We went out yesterday to buy some frozen patties, so I'd like to throw one on the queue every once in a while, because I want a burger.
00:03:02.300
Four for 20 bucks? I can't afford beef anymore?
00:03:12.720
You know, Elizabeth May was pissed off yesterday, because the Green Party got turfed from this, because they didn't have enough people running and enough ridings.
00:03:25.700
He represents a party that wants to break up the country that only runs in Quebec.
00:03:31.140
And for that matter, why is Jagmeet Singh even on stage?
00:03:34.280
The only thing he's getting out of this year's election campaign, and his career, is his f***ing pension.
00:03:46.180
Eliminate all people who can't win the election.
00:03:49.360
So we have Paulyev and Carney going head-to-head.
00:03:51.720
We'd be better served by that than talking about what groceries people are buying.
00:04:09.860
The guy you went in supporting in this won the debate.
00:04:23.300
The reason you can't afford things, folks, is because of the Liberal Party.
00:04:51.000
You have a great day, and I'll see you in the next one.
