00:00:00.000 Hi there, it's John and welcome to the channel. Hope you're having a great day today. I certainly
00:00:04.740 am and it is May the 3rd. Saturday, May the 3rd. I've got my big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:11.360 Well, at least it's May the 3rd in your world. I am recording this on May the 2nd. I apologize,
00:00:17.000 I was unable to do my video yesterday morning, but I wanted to have something up for this morning.
00:00:22.560 But I'm not here because I'm heading off to Edmonton today. As you know, there is an
00:00:28.140 independence rally there at the legislature from 1 until 3. I'll be emceeing it. There will be a
00:00:34.640 number of speakers if you're in the area. I hope you can show up dressed appropriately. I was just
00:00:39.180 checking the forecast for Edmonton. It looks like it's going to be about 26 degrees with lots of
00:00:44.140 sunshine. So put on the sunscreen and add a hat as well. So it has been fascinating to watch the
00:00:49.680 fallout from the election on Monday. So many people talking about this in Canada, but I thought it'd
00:00:55.960 be interesting to get some perspectives from around the world. So I scoured the internet.
00:00:59.660 It took me quite some time to get these clips together for you. But I thought it'd be interesting
00:01:03.680 to take a look at what people are saying, not just in Canada, but in the United States, England,
00:01:09.820 a couple of people in England, Australia as well. How worried people are about Canada and Alberta.
00:01:16.820 So I hope you enjoyed this today. By the way, links to all of these videos in the description.
00:01:21.060 I think they're worth watching in their entirety. Because look at Canada right now across all these
00:01:26.420 markers right now. I mean, it's an unbelievable. We talk about homelessness, 10 cities, right? We're
00:01:30.980 talking about rampant inflation across Canada, opioid deaths, Natalie talked about, right? Fentanyl crisis,
00:01:37.720 you know, ethics scandals, Chinese influence in the government, massive abuse of power, rising cost of
00:01:44.440 living. We need a complete seismic change in this country. Because I don't know if we can survive
00:01:52.360 Mark Carney. I wrote this today. And I said it in my own broadcast. Alberta is on the verge of
00:02:00.780 separating from Canada right now because they are sick and tired of net zero policies. They're sick and
00:02:07.580 tired of equalization payments that they have to give every other province because they happen to be
00:02:12.440 richer than those other provinces. There's 40% now support for separation. And that poll was taken
00:02:18.840 two weeks ago. Now that Carney's in, I predict it's going to go up. And it's a very real possibility
00:02:24.600 that Alberta could separate. That will be the end of Canada. It will be chaos after that.
00:02:29.400 So Trump said all sorts of belligerent anti-Canadian things in there. We're going to make you the 51st
00:02:35.400 state. Of course, it's just bluster. Of course, there's no, that was never, ever, ever going to happen.
00:02:41.320 Nonetheless, it broke a lot of, at least, boomers' minds in Canada.
00:02:47.720 Weirdly, making Canada a better place to live for the red bars 60 and over, they don't care.
00:02:53.880 They don't care.
00:02:56.680 I'm going to be dead soon.
00:02:57.720 That is literally the least important thing out of any boomer on my entire thing.
00:03:03.320 Also of course, making housing more affordable, because I've got mine, Jack.
00:03:06.600 Yeah, we'll get to that in a second.
00:03:08.200 That speaks volumes. That one red bar there, that speaks volumes about sort of the boomer
00:03:13.000 mindset. And we do mean boomer in this case.
00:03:15.000 Yeah, literally it's 60 and over, yeah.
00:03:17.000 So making Canada a better place to live is literally their last priority. It's like,
00:03:20.920 don't you have children and grandchildren? The one just before the far left, dealing with Donald Trump.
00:03:27.240 50% of boomers said that this was the most important thing to think about.
00:03:32.280 Remarkable, isn't it?
00:03:34.040 And what do they even mean by dealing? Do they just mean like conversing with him?
00:03:37.160 I assume they mean actually putting him in a box.
00:03:39.080 Yeah, put it, you know, resisting Donald Trump, I assume they mean.
00:03:42.200 And so it seems that the boomers have come out and just said, well, to hell with the economy,
00:03:47.880 or housing, or public services, or the debt, or making the country a better place to live.
00:03:53.320 I just want orange man to be put in his place.
00:03:57.000 And the Chinese have already come out and said that they are open to improving
00:04:01.560 ties with their Canadian friends.
00:04:03.000 Oh, we're thrilled.
00:04:05.480 Globalists have won, say, the Chinese Communist Party.
00:04:08.040 Yeah, those red flags firmly being planted on Canada's lawn.
00:04:11.880 I don't think the Canadian voter is interested in another union with socialists.
00:04:18.600 That didn't work over the last 10 years.
00:04:21.160 And they're going to have to find a way to rebuild the country.
00:04:23.880 Now, there are two impediments right now.
00:04:26.440 Number one is C-69, a bill that has forced capital away from Canada,
00:04:32.840 because there's no way to get any kind of infrastructure
00:04:35.880 or resource-based development done under C-69.
00:04:39.160 And the liberals proved that they were able to kill off any investment
00:04:43.000 in resources over a 10-year period.
00:04:45.400 I don't know why they wanted to do that, but they did.
00:04:48.280 And then also this carbon tax on industrial development, big problem.
00:04:55.240 Sovereign wealth is not interested when they can go to Texas and avoid that.
00:04:58.840 And that's where they're going.
00:04:59.960 You've seen all these announcements around all kinds of projects south of the border,
00:05:05.400 billions and billions of dollars.
00:05:07.880 We have to be competitive with that.
00:05:09.320 And I think Carney's going to have to face that reality.
00:05:11.720 Or Canada's not investable.
00:05:14.040 You just can't get a deal done anymore.
00:05:16.120 And everybody knows that.
00:05:17.080 It's the dirty truth.
00:05:18.680 So unless C-69 is repealed, I think that will remain a problem.
00:05:23.880 Why would anybody trust the government, the same government with C-69 still embedded
00:05:30.280 and carbon taxes still there making the economy uncompetitive?
00:05:33.960 Why would they want to come back when they have so many other alternatives all around the world?
00:05:38.360 And that's the challenge for Carney.
00:05:40.600 If he really wants to build baby build, as he said in his acceptance speech,
00:05:45.480 he's got to get rid of C-69 and he's got to at least pause with the carbon taxes to compete with
00:05:51.480 dollars to fly over Canada and go into the United States.
00:05:55.960 I do not know by any stretch of the imagination how it is better to have a socialist leaning
00:06:01.720 Green New Deal nut job as the sober faced head of Canada as opposed to the other guy
00:06:09.160 who was just less sober faced.
00:06:10.520 I don't I don't understand how it's a win for the United States to have a far left leaning
00:06:17.880 internationalist.
00:06:18.600 You don't talk globalist.
00:06:19.560 Mark Carney is the definition of a globalist.
00:06:21.880 He's the definition of somebody who wants international institutions to run as much as
00:06:25.640 possible.
00:06:26.360 He would like to make greater overtures toward China, for example.
00:06:30.280 And yet there is this idea on some parts of the right that somehow it's better.
00:06:33.800 Now, I think some of that is cope.
00:06:35.240 I think some people are taking the copium and they are saying, well, it's Polioff's fault.
00:06:38.920 If only there had been another party that was even more right wing, then that would have worked.
00:06:43.480 Okay, let's be real about this.
00:06:45.480 The the rhetorical attacks on Canada have not actually resulted in a net good for the United
00:06:51.240 States.
00:06:52.120 I care about results.
00:06:53.480 What are the results?
00:06:55.480 Is the United States better off because we keep yelling at the Canadians?
00:06:59.240 I mean, clearly, I think we are now worse off because we don't have a friendly leader in
00:07:03.880 Canada who's capable of making a deal that is going to actually benefit the United States.
00:07:10.440 Is the United States better off for the trade war that we've declared on Canada?
00:07:12.920 I'd love to see the results.
00:07:14.040 If so, I'm waiting to see them.
00:07:17.320 It turns out that the United States, as the sort of sensor of gravity on planet Earth,
00:07:21.240 many of the things that we do have a rather outsized effect.
00:07:24.120 Canada just happens to be one of those effects.
00:07:25.800 And so far, those effects are not good.
00:07:28.760 And it is pretty sad because he was getting a lot of traction
00:07:31.320 when he had that video where he was eating an apple and roasting the press.
00:07:35.400 It's actually a pretty great video.
00:07:36.920 A journalist is asking him, you know, you're pulling a page out of Trump's book.
00:07:39.880 He's eating apples.
00:07:40.440 Like, what does that mean?
00:07:41.480 It's like, well, you know, you're acting like Trump.
00:07:42.920 What is what is acting like Trump mean?
00:07:45.000 And it was pretty fun to watch.
00:07:47.400 However, you've got Vox dot com.
00:07:50.200 You've even got Trump's own words.
00:07:52.760 So my friends, I'll put it this way.
00:07:54.840 While the conservatives have lost in Canada, I largely don't care.
00:07:59.640 But the story that connects us to America is obvious.
00:08:02.120 It's our neighbor to the north.
00:08:03.640 And they're obsessed with going far left and burning themselves to the ground
00:08:07.560 with all the problems they've seen so far.
00:08:09.640 Well, so be it.
00:08:11.400 You reap what you sow.
00:08:12.600 But Trump himself has said he caused this drop off.
00:08:16.600 He said that before he came in, there was a 25 point conservative lead.
00:08:21.560 And then after he started talking about it, now it's a close race.
00:08:26.840 And of course, shortly after this interview, it's done.
00:08:30.920 My hope is that as Canada, we can actually look within ourselves and find what can we do to
00:08:36.360 actually chart our own course, can obviously maintain our sovereignty and be unified,
00:08:41.160 but not just blame outside forces for problems that I believe we've ultimately started from within.
00:08:46.040 Well, national unity is a great thing if it's for the right reasons.
00:08:50.760 And you have to distinguish between pride and being united by victimhood.
00:08:56.200 And, you know, pride leads to patriotism.
00:08:59.320 And that's great.
00:09:00.120 But and Canada is amazing and Canadians should be proud.
00:09:05.480 And when but when victimhood unites people, that's not really patriotism.
00:09:11.640 That's kind of being a passenger.
00:09:13.880 And when you're a victim, you're also a passenger and things happen to you like happens to you.
00:09:21.800 Victimhood is a dangerous temptation.
00:09:23.720 And it seems like Canada needs to define the truth, not Donald Trump.
00:09:28.120 Once Trudeau resigned, we were all rejoicing in the streets, being like, finally,
00:09:33.880 this is the conservatives time to rise in Canada.
00:09:37.960 And we all loved Pierre Polivier, which who also copped a lot of always very Trumpy.
00:09:44.760 He all his Trump isms.
00:09:46.840 People were loving him for that until they weren't.
00:09:50.760 The poor guys actually lost his own seat, as was confirmed just a couple of hours ago.
00:09:56.680 So this has turned into almost overnight a landslide in the opposite direction of what was expected.
00:10:05.560 Finally seeing the end of Justin Trudeau, who we know was a World Economic Forum darling.
00:10:11.160 I hate to tell you, you've got exactly the same thing in Mark Carney.
00:10:15.400 Now they're looking at Alberta and there was a poll on April 6th as far as how many Albertans
00:10:20.440 would vote for independence.
00:10:21.480 They said if the Liberals won 30%.
00:10:24.360 Jeez.
00:10:24.920 I think that number can get quite a bit higher.
00:10:28.760 If we cut through the fog a little bit and actually get to the reasons that Alberta,
00:10:34.120 I would argue not should, Albertans, Canadians, and if anyone else wants to
00:10:39.960 have a, take a sober look at yourself right now, you need to leave Canada.
00:10:47.240 Canada is not what you thought it was.
00:10:49.880 Canada is a Marxist hellhole.
00:10:52.280 And by the way, Alberta, the rest of Canada despises you.
00:10:57.240 Americans won't.
00:10:58.040 Yeah.
00:10:58.520 Americans will welcome you with open arms.
00:11:00.360 This isn't just trolling.
00:11:01.240 It's not 51st state and you're subservient.
00:11:03.480 It's territory or a state and you now have access to the world and your people can flourish.
00:11:10.120 If you choose to stay with Canada, you will wither on the vine and die.
00:11:14.840 Alberta, it doesn't need to be this way.
00:11:17.080 You can have the kind of tax burden that we have here in the United States.
00:11:21.320 Wouldn't that be a nice relief?
00:11:23.160 It would also, by the way, allow Alberta to negotiate.
00:11:26.120 If let's say they become some kind of a territory, not the 51st state to negotiate independently
00:11:31.240 with the United States, that would be really, that would be a huge benefit considering the
00:11:37.160 energy industry in Alberta and how that is dictated by the rest of Canada, by people in Ottawa, who,
00:11:42.680 by the way, don't want Alberta to have their, their thriving energy industry.
00:11:47.560 Major European countries literally going dog because of net zero.
00:11:51.400 And they vote in one of the leading proponents of it to run their country.
00:11:55.320 Look, we can't stabilize the climate unless we get to net zero.
00:11:58.440 They voted for Trudeau 2.0 because they didn't like orange man making fun of them.
00:12:03.720 Their country's going to the dogs, their kids have no future.
00:12:06.680 And boomers turn out in full force to empower the status quo because they're worried about Trump.
00:12:12.600 David, just to show the viewers how it differs, just click on there on baby boomers.
00:12:17.000 Okay, so now we're saying this is all respondents, this is just people who are boomers.
00:12:21.960 What do they think is the top issue?
00:12:23.960 Canada-US relations.
00:12:25.320 So you see one of the reasons why older people are voting for the Liberal Party.
00:12:29.320 How boomers decide to vote.
00:12:30.680 No immigration, save our country, low cost of living,
00:12:33.320 affordable housing, wages increase, value of house goes up by one percent.
00:12:37.800 Boomers.
00:12:38.360 But I still just can't get past how easily boomers are brainwashed by legacy media narratives.
00:12:43.960 They see violent crime increase in their country by over 43 percent under Trudeau.
00:12:49.560 Then vote not because they're scared by that.
00:12:51.880 No, because they're scared by Trump's tariffs and him trolling them on truth social.
00:12:56.440 When either the Liberals or Conservatives would have just done a trade deal with Trump anyway.
00:13:01.080 I'm sorry, I know it's a Duma cliche.
00:13:03.320 I know it's demoralizing.
00:13:04.840 And I really hope someone can convince me otherwise in the comments.
00:13:08.440 But can we really conclude anything other than the fact that Canada is finished?
00:13:13.400 Thanks very much for watching the channel.
