A few things have happened the last week or so that got me thinking about how you, as a Canadian, are not being treated fairly by the government. A poll found that 50% of Albertans think the government is treating them unfairly. The census is tracking you 24/7, and you get fined if you don't fill it out. Meanwhile, Canada is set to approve another 210,000 temporary work permits this year.

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 409 a.m. Saturday, May the 9th. I hope you're having a
00:00:08.520 great start to your Saturday, a great start to your weekend as well, and I'm hopeful you're
00:00:12.820 getting good weather so you can get outside this weekend and get your yard ready, which I plan on
00:00:17.960 doing later this afternoon. I tip the big blue mug of coffee to you today. A couple of things
00:00:22.800 have happened, I guess, over the last week or so that got me thinking about how you as a Canadian
00:00:28.020 are not being treated fairly, and me as an Albertan as well, because the first thing
00:00:33.120 that came to mind was a poll that Rebel News did. Ezra Levant released a fantastic video,
00:00:39.640 and in that video, and I'll put some b-roll underneath this so you can see it, he talked
00:00:45.060 about how about 50% of Albertans thought they were being treated unfairly, but I want to expand that
00:00:50.940 out to you if you live in the rest of the country. The other thing that came in was this. You likely
00:00:56.340 received one of these in the mail. This is the census. And we get these regularly to find out 0.90
00:01:01.920 about you. The government knows a lot about you. Now, apparently this one is about languages,
00:01:07.220 but in other years, they'll talk about how many people live in your house, how many are male and
00:01:11.000 female, ages. They know everything about you. The federal government knows how much you make.
00:01:16.340 They know where you work. They know where you are 24 hours a day. And as long as you carry one of
00:01:21.060 these around, a cell phone, they can track and trace you. Now, when it comes to this,
00:01:28.960 if you don't fill this out, it's under penalty of fine, which I believe is about $500. So the
00:01:35.980 feds are going to find you if you don't tell them about yourself. Meanwhile, we've got stories like
00:01:41.300 this one right here, and this is from the National Post. Ottawa has no idea how many temporary
00:01:47.700 migrants are still here. While Canada has asked millions of migrants to leave, there's no way to
00:01:54.080 track whether they're doing so. Remember, they know everything about you, but they can't find 1.00
00:02:00.180 people who have come into this country. And we don't know a lot about these people. And we don't
00:02:05.680 know if they're dangerous. There was this paragraph in the story that really stuck out to me. In the
00:02:10.280 meantime, Ottawa is set to approve another 210,700 foreign work permits this year, even as the
00:02:17.640 number of temporary migrants now living illegally in the country could be in the hundreds of
00:02:22.380 thousands. Now remember this, and mark my words here, you don't fill this census out, you'll get
00:02:28.020 fined. But be prepared, blanket amnesty is coming for these people in the country illegally. The 0.98
00:02:33.980 liberals are going to say, too hard to find them, too expensive to find them, we might as well let
00:02:39.240 them stay. So they're going to get rewarded for being here illegally, but you get fined for not
00:02:44.660 filling out this. Now let's move on to the next way. People are being treated unfairly in the
00:02:50.680 country. You may remember a little thing that happened in Ottawa a couple of years ago. People
00:02:55.540 thought they were being treated unfairly by the government. They went there to protest and this
00:03:00.740 kind of thing happened. Right after that, the 49-year-old woman who uses a walker was run over
00:03:18.440 by Toronto Police Service's horses that rolled through the crowd. Onlookers were heard yelling
00:03:23.000 at police to stop. Oh my gosh. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Look what you did. Look what you
00:03:30.640 did to her. Whatever you might think of the convoy for it or against it, this was extreme. This was
00:03:36.160 brutal. This was violence against Canadian people who were peaceful and wanted their government to
00:03:42.200 listen to them. But the government wouldn't listen. They froze bank accounts. Some people
00:03:47.560 went to jail. This was unfair. Meanwhile, for years in the country, people are protesting,
00:03:55.320 fomenting hatred, encouraging violence, and the government did absolutely nothing.
00:04:01.080 That's something that really transcends borders and transcends the whole world.
00:04:06.180 So concretely, we hope that on a microscope... Protest your government, you get beat down,
00:04:12.140 march in the street for a couple of years in support of a terrorist organization,
00:04:16.580 and the government does virtually nothing.
00:04:18.940 And I talked about it fomenting hatred
00:04:21.300 and encouraging violence.
00:04:22.540 And those things have done that
00:04:23.840 over the last couple of years.
00:04:25.460 You see this article right here in the Toronto Sun.
00:04:28.100 Another day, another brazen shooting
00:04:30.000 targeting Toronto's Jewish community.
00:04:32.340 Would this kind of stuff be happening
00:04:33.660 if the government had stopped these things
00:04:35.980 a couple of years ago?
00:04:37.300 Meanwhile, Mark Carney, to his credit,
00:04:38.960 has weighed in on this.
00:04:41.320 But there's a poison pill in this tweet right here.
00:04:44.960 Last night, three people were fired upon with a replica firearm outside Cheside Bobov Synagogue in North York in an abhorrent act of anti-Semitism, leaving one person injured.
00:04:57.180 But it's the text in blue you need to pay attention to here.
00:05:01.740 Last year, we introduced new legislation to strengthen the criminal code, combat hate, and protect our communities.
00:05:08.940 Folks, this is a classic case of never let a good crisis go to waste.
00:05:13.800 You see, the liberals create this problem by not cracking down on these people protesting in favor of terrorism in the country.
00:05:20.400 What they're going to do is they're going to pass Bill C-9, which will have a chilling effect on your speech.
00:05:25.480 This is the way it works. 0.85
00:05:27.760 Just like bringing too many people into the country, eventually they're going to give them blanket amnesty. 0.87
00:05:33.180 Now we move along to another story, which is hitting rather close to home.
00:05:37.580 You see, Danielle Smith has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Mark Carney.
00:05:42.260 And in order to get a pipeline out here, we have to jump through a lot of hoops.
00:05:45.440 The giant carbon-sucking machine I've discussed, which is now to, I think, about $24 billion.
00:05:50.940 A lot of it, your money.
00:05:52.620 And we have to negotiate an industrial carbon tax that's going to basically make our oil and gas unsellable.
00:06:00.460 But this article has run over the last 24 hours or so.
00:06:04.940 Danielle Smith claims win after high-stakes sit-down with Mark Carney.
00:06:09.100 and this article goes on to say how they're getting closer to a deal for a pipeline from
00:06:14.160 Alberta to BC. She's making a deal with the devil here and this is the bone that the people out here
00:06:21.280 in Alberta have been talking about. Federal government's going to throw us a bone. Alberta 0.51
00:06:25.540 independence is on the rise out here. They throw us a bone to try to stop us from voting for
00:06:30.820 independence. I'm going to talk about that a little bit more in the future but Danielle Smith
00:06:34.520 is making a deal with the devil here. Now, how is this unfair to you? Well, folks, you heard the 0.99
00:06:41.360 report a couple of weeks ago from RBC, how about a trillion dollars investment has been lost since
00:06:47.980 Justin Trudeau became the prime minister. And don't forget that Mark Carney was his economic
00:06:53.140 advisor for a time as well. Alberta alone has lost about $170 billion to maybe $200 billion
00:07:00.240 in investment over those 10 years. Just think how all of that money coming into the country
00:07:05.580 would have benefited you. This is generational theft by some criminals in Ottawa. But why is
00:07:12.260 it unfair? Well, because, you know, Alberta has been trying to build pipelines in both directions
00:07:16.200 for years. We keep getting told no by provinces and the federal government. And a few weeks ago,
00:07:21.980 you remember this. Australia ships LNG 16,000 miles, 25,750 kilometers to Canada as Asia
00:07:32.420 demand slumps. And I'm wondering if Australia had to sign a memorandum of understanding with
00:07:38.140 Mark Carney and the Liberal government in order to do this. Probably not. And not a lot of
00:07:43.260 discussion in this article about carbon taxes on this LNG. I mean, just take a look at this.
00:07:48.580 Now, for those of you who are geographically challenged, I pointed out Alberta over here.
00:07:54.040 All we wanted to do was put a pipeline over to here, but instead we ship LNG all the way around the world to our East Coast
00:08:01.440 when we sit on, what, the fourth or fifth largest reserves of LNG in the world.
00:08:06.380 This is not fair.
00:08:07.860 And this is the bone that the federal government's going to throw us.
00:08:11.320 Look, you're going to get a pipeline, but we're not going to get a pipeline.
00:08:15.520 line. Why? Because of this. We will only do that in the case where we have the support
00:08:22.840 of First Nations. We have the support of all the provinces. I'm sorry to have to play that again,
00:08:29.740 but you've got to take the man at his word. He's been saying this since he started running as the
00:08:33.760 Liberal leader and he started to run to be the Prime Minister of Canada. There has to be a
00:08:37.960 consensus. And these people are going to stand in the way. And you may say, John, there's lots of
00:08:43.000 indigenous groups in Canada that want oil and gas. That's true, but it only takes a couple to stop 1.00
00:08:48.420 things. Let me look at it in this way. Here in Alberta, we just had a signature campaign where
00:08:52.940 we handed in over 300,000 signatures in order to have a referendum on independence here in Alberta,
00:08:58.680 and it's being held up in court by indigenous groups. And all we want to do is a chance to vote.
00:09:04.440 Do you think these people are going to let a pipeline through? Now let's move on to another
00:09:08.020 thing that is terribly untrue, and it's kind of the piece de resistance here. You've got this
00:09:12.740 article right here. Canada commits $270 million to Ukraine as Carney addresses European summit
00:09:19.420 to Armenia. People are skimming money off here. No doubt Zelensky has made himself a billionaire
00:09:25.360 with all the money that countries have been giving Ukraine over the last several years
00:09:29.780 in their fight against Russia. But then you've got people like this living in Canada.
00:09:38.020 These are just a few things that are unfair. 0.99
00:09:57.120 Think about senior citizens that work their entire lives paying taxes 0.97
00:10:01.020 and get a pittance when it comes to their pension plan and their old age security.
00:10:05.960 Think about young people who would like to buy a home, but it's terribly unfair that they haven't
00:10:11.340 got a chance of owning one because of government ineptitude. And think of young people who can't
00:10:17.440 find jobs. About 14% of young people are unemployed right now because those aforementioned temporary
00:10:23.760 foreign workers are taking up all the jobs. We could go on and on and on. The only way it will 1.00
00:10:30.220 change is if we change things at the top and unfortunately people vote for the wrong party.
