Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 339 a.m. on Saturday, December the 27th. I hope
00:00:09.200
you're having a great start to your Saturday morning and a great start to your weekend as
00:00:12.980
well. And of course, I have my big blue mug of coffee in hand. I appreciate you being here.
00:00:19.140
And it's a great time of the year. It's an opportunity for us to look back on the year
00:00:23.900
that was and look forward to things that are coming in the new year, hoping it can be a
00:00:29.260
damn sight better than the one that has just passed. And I'm talking in the political sense
00:00:34.720
here. What I thought I would do is I thought I'd go through and talk about the top 10 cringiest
00:00:41.260
Carney quotes of the year. I think we could expand this to Carney and the liberals, and we could
00:00:46.680
expand this to Carney and people who voted liberal in this past year. Number one, I don't think will
00:00:52.860
surprise you, but we'll get to that in just a moment. And I hope to move through the top 10
00:00:56.400
quite quickly. You know who really dominates the top 10? Doesn't even live in Canada. This
00:01:02.680
would be Donald Trump. He's all over this top 10. Because you and I know that the only way the
00:01:09.320
liberals got elected in April 28th is because of Donald Trump. They didn't get voted because
00:01:14.380
they're good. They're actually awful. They got voted in because people didn't like Donald Trump.
00:01:20.160
We know this. It was the campaign of fear of Donald Trump. What voters on April 28th didn't
00:01:26.920
realize was that the enemy was within the gates, and that's the Liberal Party of Canada. And folks,
00:01:32.100
things don't look like they're getting better anytime soon. So let's start off with number 10,
00:01:38.060
and we'll work our way down to number one. Why was Mark Carney elected? Well, of course,
00:01:43.080
Donald Trump, I just said that, but he was elected because he was the best person
00:01:47.100
to get a deal when it came to terrorists with Donald Trump. He was asked about this not too long
00:01:52.580
ago, and he had a flippant answer. It's number 10 on our list. Who cares? A flippant answer? Well,
00:02:00.140
I'll tell you who might care, Mr. Carney, the tens of thousands of people who have lost their jobs
00:02:05.620
because you didn't do yours, and get a deal with the United States of America, the businesses and
00:02:11.640
companies who are adversely affected by tariffs because you didn't do your job. Maybe average Canadians
00:02:16.860
have seen prices go up because of tariffs because you didn't do your job. That's who cares. And we
00:02:21.960
move along now to number nine. So Donald Trump, again, dominating this top 10. Carney used him
00:02:30.140
to get elected, was critical of Donald Trump, insulted Donald Trump, and then he met with
00:02:35.900
Donald Trump. This isn't so much a quote as a moment in time, but it is certainly all about what
00:02:40.960
he said. He meets with Donald Trump. What does he do? He kisses his ass.
00:02:46.060
The G7 is nothing without U.S. leadership. And so, and your personal leadership, leadership in the
00:02:51.360
United States, many issues, geopolitics, economic, technology, and working hand in hand with the
00:02:58.980
United States, Canada and the United States, and the other G7 partners with your leadership.
00:03:05.420
I'm very much looking forward to meeting you. Thank you very much.
00:03:08.520
If you roll back the video that I just showed you, you can see the strength in the room. You
00:03:12.940
see Donald Trump standing there, I'd say 6'4", 6'5", towering over a slumping Mark Carney with bad
00:03:19.640
posture, cowering at the feet of the great man. Now we move along to number eight. Okay, so at number
00:03:28.920
eight, you know, I said the other day, I said, I don't think government does anything for you.
00:03:33.480
I think they do things to you. I just like government to get out of the way, to help people
00:03:40.020
move up in the world. Do you feel further ahead than you were at this time last year? I don't.
00:03:44.720
But the liberals, they'll stand up over and over and over again and tell you how they're helping
00:03:50.960
Canadians get ahead. It's number eight. Help Canadians get ahead. Canadians are getting ahead.
00:03:57.020
That means helping Canadians to get ahead. Are you getting ahead? I did a video on this about a
00:04:03.020
week ago saying, all this liberal getting ahead is killing me, but we move on to the next quote.
00:04:08.000
So a question for you in our top 10, and Donald Trump's all over this one as well.
00:04:13.600
Who is Canada's biggest trading partner? I'll give you about one second. Well, that would be our
00:04:18.000
friends to the South because they're still our friends and they amount to about 75 to 80%
00:04:22.660
of our trade. But we haven't got a good trade deal with them right now, which is killing Canada.
00:04:28.260
But we were told over and over again that we can be our own best customer. That's number seven. And
00:04:35.580
just a hint, we can't. We will be our own best customer. We will be our own best customer.
00:04:43.100
We'll be our own best customer. We have the potential to become our own best customer for
00:04:50.200
steel by becoming our own best customer. Let's keep things moving along because this next one is not
00:04:56.920
only something you heard a lot of. You saw it all the time. You started hearing it the moment Mark
00:05:02.640
Carney won the liberal leadership race and you saw it emblazoned on the front of every podium during
00:05:08.440
the election. Here is number six. To build Canada strong. We will build Canada strong. We are Canada
00:05:20.120
strong. Before we move on to the next thing on our list, is Canada strong? Let me put it to you this
00:05:29.220
way. Three provinces in the country right now are talking about leaving. And my province of Alberta
00:05:36.040
will have a referendum on independence in 2026. How strong is that? Now we move along to something
00:05:42.740
that could be at the top of this list. And it's in the middle of the list because it really doesn't
00:05:48.500
have to deal with just what's happening within Canada. This is a worldwide thing. But I'll tell
00:05:53.700
you this. This is one of the most disgusting, most disgraceful, most shameful things a prime minister
00:06:03.720
of this country has ever done. This man does not speak for me on this issue. Here is number five.
00:06:10.720
For the reasons I cited earlier, Canada intends to recognize the state of Palestine at the 80th session
00:06:16.280
of the United Nations General Assembly. Just one final comment on number five. There is no state
00:06:24.240
of Palestine. Coming in at number four is one that Mark Carney said quite often during his stump speeches.
00:06:32.680
He shook his head. He said it breathlessly. People in the audience were aghast that anybody would do this
00:06:40.020
to the great country of Canada. And they rushed off on April 28th to vote for Mark Carney,
00:06:45.900
the great negotiator, because he was the best person to deal with Donald Trump. He said this
00:06:51.380
one over and over again. Here is number four. They think that they can own us, quite frankly.
00:06:58.660
He wants to break us so America can own us. To break us so that America can own us. To break us down
00:07:08.800
so that America can own us. We now move our way into the top three. And these are definitely
00:07:16.120
cringeworthy. And this is just my personal opinion. You may put these in a different order. And there
00:07:21.920
may be other things you heard Carney say this year that I may be missing. But we're into the top three
00:07:26.240
now. And you know what? Canada is incredibly in debt. And we get more in debt all the time. You've heard
00:07:33.000
people say it over and over again. Just the interest payments on our debt is more than we spend on our
00:07:37.980
health care every year. And it's getting worse all the time. We keep running up deficits. And boy,
00:07:42.560
are these liberals going to run up some deficits, folks. But instead of stopping spending, you know,
00:07:48.620
Reagan said it's not that people are taxed too little. It's that government spends too much. But
00:07:53.540
instead of cutting back on deficit spending to help the economy, what the liberals do is they do a
00:07:59.080
sleight of hand when it comes to accounting. They create two sets of books. We now have the operating
00:08:05.240
budget, which they're going to balance. And then we have the investing budget. But folks, investing
00:08:11.000
really means running up deficits, which takes us to number three. I have a simple rule. Spend less, invest
00:08:18.340
more. A government that spends less so that Canada can invest more. To spend less and invest more.
00:08:24.860
Up next on the list, I think was one of the most useful tools for the liberals during the election
00:08:35.620
campaign. And honestly, if you think about it, it's still useful to them now because this was never
00:08:41.600
resolved. And again, it takes us back to Donald Trump. This man has had a huge shadow over Canadian
00:08:47.500
politics all year long. I did a video back in the spring. Carney needs a crisis. It's the only reason
00:08:56.980
the liberals got elected because they were a disaster. And that takes us along to number two.
00:09:04.580
We are in the middle of the toughest crisis. Crisis. Crisis. Crisis. Crisis. Crisis. Crisis.
00:09:10.260
Crisis. Remember what James Madison said. Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant. Which takes us
00:09:18.940
along to the cringiest Carney quote of the year. In fact, you could say this is the cringiest quote
00:09:26.500
of the Carney cult of the year as well. You know, I think if you sat down for a couple of minutes
00:09:31.640
and you started thinking about it, you would come up with this as number one as well. It was all over
00:09:36.220
the place. It was the cringiest thing I heard all year. It was the most vomit-inducing thing I heard
00:09:41.620
all year. People are still saying this now. You know what it is. Coming in at number one, folks.
00:10:02.900
It's really hard to believe that people actually did that
00:10:13.840
and they voted because of that. People are still saying that today.
00:10:21.340
it helped to get the liberals elected on April the 28th.
00:10:29.020
to try to go back and get some of these quotes and these sayings, things that happened over the year.
00:10:34.300
There's one that's kind of an honorable mention that I left off the list. And the reason I did it is
00:10:38.940
because I think all of the leaders during the election campaign and throughout the year have
00:10:43.580
said this. Jagmeet Singh did. I think I have clips of Paulyev saying this thing in my computer. And
00:10:49.420
Carney and the liberals said it over and over again. And that would be,
00:10:56.880
Canada will never be the 51st state. So, that's my honorable mention.
00:11:00.960
I hope you enjoyed my list. I don't know whether you think they're in the right order or I got
00:11:06.240
everything, but I think you'll agree with me. My number one was right on the mark.
00:11:11.660
The cringiest Carney quote. The cringiest liberal quote.
00:11:15.180
The cringiest liberal voter quote of the year. Elbows up.
00:11:20.460
Thanks for watching. I appreciate you being here. If you like the list, give it a thumbs up.
