00:00:00.000 you are proposing cutting these gas taxes, which will increase demand and therefore inflation,
00:00:06.260 why should Canadians trust your economic credentials? Sorry, I don't understand that
00:00:12.240 you're framing there. You say that lowering a tax on gas will increase inflation? Increase demand
00:00:19.880 for the gas, which again could increase inflation. Okay, that's an interesting one. I've never heard
00:00:27.160 anyone saying lowering taxes on gas could possibly increase inflation.
00:00:33.540 Let's get into this. Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 446 AM. I hope you're having a
00:00:38.980 great start to your Sunday, April the 26th. Pleasure to be with you today with the big blue
00:00:45.040 mug of coffee, which I tip to you today. And boy, I'm telling you, the media clip I showed you off
00:00:53.600 the top, the Liberal Party of Canada, and the people who follow the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:01:00.960 If you follow Star Trek, the next generation, and everything that came after, you know what
00:01:07.800 the Borg is. The Borg, for people who don't know, is a collective. It's an alien race that all
00:01:14.880 thinks alike. They are connected, and they all spew the same thing. They don't talk as individuals 0.91
00:01:21.260 anymore. They talk as the collective. They do not say, I am the Borg. They say, we are the Borg.
00:01:29.620 It's a single entity. And that's what's becoming of Canada, the people who are supporting the
00:01:36.360 Liberal Party, the Liberal Party and the media as well. It's really a sad thing to say. Now,
00:01:42.020 the clip off the top is about cutting gas taxes for people. And it's in relation to a video,
00:01:50.580 pure poly have put out zero tax on gas that's our conservative campaign for the rest of the summer
00:01:59.540 get rid of all the taxes on all gas for the rest of the year so that you can afford the price the
00:02:05.620 pumps abundant affordable energy is the light blood of a strong economy we're fighting for you
00:02:12.740 for your paycheck for your cost of living for a country where your hard work pays off now let's
00:02:18.500 Let's get it done. Have you noticed that Pierre Polyev is always talking about things that can
00:02:26.460 save you money? Have you noticed that? I mean, during his leadership campaign,
00:02:33.940 during the election campaign, he talked about cutting the carbon tax and saving you money and
00:02:40.600 cutting regulations. Have you noticed that? I don't get the Borg, the liberal party these days
00:02:47.540 and the people who follow them, because Polyev talks common sense, and the liberals keep raising
00:02:53.280 prices for you on everything. Do you realize as gas prices go up, the liberals collect three taxes
00:03:01.100 on gas, and it's a tax on a tax on a tax. As gas prices go up, they collect more tax dollars. This
00:03:08.180 would be a great savings for you. Let's go back to the original clip I showed you off the top.
00:03:14.140 Look, and Polyev leans in here. I think he says, I'm sorry. It was almost shades of the
00:03:19.900 apple crunching video. But watch this again. It's a little bit longer here with more context.
00:03:25.960 Sorry, I don't understand that you're framing there. You say that
00:03:29.640 lowering a tax on gas will increase inflation? Increase demand for the gas, which, again,
00:03:37.880 could increase inflation. Okay, that's an interesting one. I've never heard anyone
00:03:42.800 and saying lowering taxes on gas could possibly increase inflation.
00:03:47.000 Exactly the opposite has happened.
00:03:48.920 Every time you reduce gas taxes, go across the provinces that have done this,
00:03:53.580 in Alberta, in Manitoba, and in Ontario,
00:03:56.940 when they reduced gas taxes, inflation in those provinces went down next
00:04:01.780 compared to their neighboring provinces.
00:04:03.420 But, you know, I guess, you know, the liberal mindset is that
00:04:07.600 the way that you address inflation is through higher taxes.
00:04:10.500 We've seen how that's worked.
00:04:11.540 I don't know who the woman is interviewing Pierre Poliev here. I said a couple of weeks ago on this
00:04:18.880 channel, most people in broadcasting have a high school education and they take a broadcasting
00:04:24.420 course. So they haven't got any higher education. And I don't want to belittle this woman,
00:04:29.900 but I went into interviews and have done thousands of them prepared and understanding a little bit
00:04:35.480 about how the world works, that Pierre Polyev has to actually school this woman on this basic thing
00:04:41.940 is just mind-numbing to me. And let's face it, and again, I don't want to belittle her,
00:04:47.720 but she looks good, and that works on television. But she's part of the collective. She's part of
00:04:54.040 the Borg I discussed earlier. I mean, people watched this interview, and they were all over
00:05:00.180 Pierre Polyev for pointing out what things that make complete sense, common sense. It's not very
00:05:06.220 common these days. And then people watch this video or didn't watch this video and commented
00:05:11.560 on it. They're part of the Borg as well. Here's some people who talked about this. Here's Polyev
00:05:16.560 on this CTV interview. This was such a BS softball interview with Polyev. Absolutely zero pushback
00:05:23.420 to any of his BS and buzzwords. And Claude Levine says, I just couldn't do it. Listening to this
00:05:28.900 smug, arrogant a-hole belittling another female reporter trying to do her job. He reeks of holier 1.00
00:05:35.400 than thou attitude thinking he's above others. Typical incel behavior from Polly F. He's an 0.80
00:05:41.900 effing a-hole to which I responded, you should be outraged at the utter stupidity of the woman 1.00
00:05:47.180 asking the questions. You know, I thought of another, I thought of another quote this morning 1.00
00:05:52.920 when I was thinking about this video and the idea that the liberals and the liberal party supporters
00:05:58.400 and the media that is propped up by the Liberal Party, as they're part of this collective,
00:06:03.420 they're part of the Borg, I thought of a quote from George Patton, and here it is.
00:06:08.280 If everyone is thinking alike, then someone isn't thinking. It's obvious a lot of people who follow
00:06:15.380 the Liberal Party and are in the liberal media aren't thinking, you and I are, but this interview
00:06:20.780 was like this all the way through, rather confrontational. She ends up kind of ending
00:06:25.860 the interview talking about this expansion to a pipeline. And you can see how giddy she is that
00:06:31.520 Mark Carney got a pipeline built. And Pierre Polyev, once again, has a real good answer.
00:06:37.240 All right. Lastly, I want to talk about the Enbridge approval that happened yesterday,
00:06:41.780 which you are welcoming. It was a fairly fast approval of that pipeline in B.C.
00:06:47.840 Does that now take away a key criticism for you that not a single project has been approved under
00:06:53.060 Kearney? No, because this is a very modest expansion of a pre-existing pipeline. It took
00:06:57.920 way too long for Kearney to get around to this. This should have been done in weeks,
00:07:02.200 given that it is such a small, roughly a 10% expansion of an existing pipeline.
00:07:06.980 What we actually need is a $30 billion a year oil pipeline to the Pacific. Mr. Kearney promised
00:07:14.740 that almost a year ago. Still no permit, no route, no investment, no builder, no starting point,
00:07:22.380 no end point, no starting date, no completion date. And his new special projects office,
00:07:28.880 which was supposed to rush projects through, still hasn't approved a single project.
00:07:32.600 He's kept every single anti-development liberal law and tax that Trudeau brought in. He's kept
00:07:38.320 them all. And in fact, Enbridge says that with these anti-energy laws and taxes, it will be
00:07:44.880 impossible to even produce enough oil to put in a future oil pipeline. So we need as the liberal
00:07:52.020 government of Mark Carney to get out of the way. In response to this small little extension of this
00:07:58.960 pipeline, the Borg got online and were saying, look, look, Polyev, look, conservatives, look,
00:08:05.220 Alberta independence movement. Mark Carney is building pipelines. And Pierre Polyev here with
00:08:10.220 a great answer explaining why pipelines aren't being built. You know, I did a video yesterday
00:08:14.440 talking about how politics makes strange bedfellows. You're going to see some different
00:08:19.280 people working together to stop the Alberta independence movement. Jason Kenney with Nahed
00:08:23.840 Nenshi, with Mark Carney, you know, with Pierre Polyev, who has a lot to lose if Alberta gains
00:08:28.920 his independence. But honestly, this clip right here could be used by the independence movement.
00:08:34.300 He's making a great case for Alberta independence because that's one of the things that we really
00:08:39.220 want to do here in Alberta is build pipelines. And because of the government, we can't get it
00:08:44.140 done and it won't happen. Don't be part of the Borg. Do your best to try to get people out
00:08:50.280 of the collective.
