00:00:00.240 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, and it is 4.13 a.m. on Saturday, December
00:00:07.480 the 14th, the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:09.900 I call this my early morning cup of motivation.
00:00:13.620 With me today, why am I up at 4.13?
00:00:16.540 I don't know.
00:00:17.300 I got up an hour ago, actually.
00:00:19.280 But anyway, I wanted to talk about something I've seen a few times on YouTube over the
00:00:23.200 last 24 hours or so, and I'm sorry about the chair.
00:00:25.980 Kind of creaky.
00:00:26.740 But a few YouTubers yesterday speculating that Trudeau may be getting ready to step
00:00:33.700 down.
00:00:34.260 Now, Moose on the Loose, great YouTube channel.
00:00:36.920 Get that guy to 100,000 subscribers.
00:00:40.140 He's about 21,000 short right now.
00:00:42.880 But he had a video, and here's just kind of a screen capture of it.
00:00:46.680 Rumors swirled Trudeau stepping down for a female PM and Chrystia Freeland to be fired.
00:00:52.160 Wow, the Freeland thing might be going to come true.
00:00:55.220 I don't think Trudeau is going to step down.
00:00:57.800 I'm going to do some math here for you.
00:00:59.760 I'm going to use my fingers as well to do some math this morning.
00:01:03.540 But I don't think he's going to step down.
00:01:06.040 You have to wonder what the hell's going on with Justin Trudeau right now.
00:01:09.960 You've seen some of the videos this week, no doubt.
00:01:12.700 Him at the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, bad-mouthing Americans for not voting for Kamala Harris.
00:01:19.100 He was at another sit-down earlier this week saying that there's a group of people who recently voted who may regret their vote, referring no doubt to the election or the re-election of Donald Trump in the United States.
00:01:31.920 You have to think he's either trying to tank himself, his party, and the country, or he's stupid.
00:01:38.420 Now, I'm not giving a choice between the two options.
00:01:41.460 You can choose both.
00:01:42.840 But if I was going to pick one, I would pick the latter.
00:01:45.740 I do think he is a stupid person.
00:01:48.180 But is he going to step down?
00:01:51.640 Don't know about that.
00:01:52.960 So, let's just take a look at the election date.
00:01:56.420 Okay, the possible election date in Canada.
00:01:59.800 So, here it is.
00:02:00.360 This is from Wikipedia.
00:02:01.380 I don't suggest going to Wikipedia for facts all the time, but this is pretty good.
00:02:07.260 The 2025 Canadian federal election will take place on or before October 20, 2025.
00:02:13.040 Well, that's not quite true because we know that Trudeau wants to push the date of the election back to the 27th
00:02:21.940 because, this is the excuse, Diwali and Alberta's municipal election.
00:02:27.120 Now, as far as Diwali goes, I don't care about Diwali. 1.00
00:02:30.620 Not that important.
00:02:31.940 I wouldn't care if it was Easter Sunday if it could vote to get rid of Justin Trudeau.
00:02:35.400 As far as Alberta's municipal election, I would be happy to vote in two elections on the same day if I have to
00:02:41.640 so I can get rid of Trudeau and I can dump the lunatics and the regressives on the Calgary City Council,
00:02:48.240 including head lunatic Jody Gondek.
00:02:50.680 Anyway, the other thing that I want to talk about quickly in this video, I'll get to it at the end,
00:02:55.020 is the reason why they want to move it really is because of pensions.
00:02:58.860 Apparently, there's about 80 MPs right now.
00:03:01.960 If they're turfed in the next election, they will get pensions amounting to $120 million.
00:03:07.580 And we know about pensions.
00:03:08.900 There's another pension looming on the horizon.
00:03:11.960 So, let's look at the next thing.
00:03:14.520 So, let's say Justin Trudeau were to step down.
00:03:18.340 When is he going to do that?
00:03:19.640 Well, we know that they'll be sitting until Tuesday, which is the 17th of December,
00:03:27.480 and then they're on a break for about five weeks.
00:03:30.620 So, I'm going to get to that a little bit more in just a moment.
00:03:33.720 But this is according, again, to Wikipedia.
00:03:36.160 But this is a timeline of the last leadership election that put Justin Trudeau as the head of the Liberal Party.
00:03:43.440 So, if you look here, June 13, 2012, Liberal National Board met to clarify rules for the leadership election,
00:03:50.280 including whether or not the interim leader is eligible to run.
00:03:53.660 The board decided that the leadership election will be held on April 2013 with a specific date to be confirmed during the summer.
00:04:01.540 Hours prior to the meeting, Ray, meaning Bob Ray, announced he would not be a candidate in the leadership election.
00:04:07.100 So, you'll remember that Bob Ray was the interim leader of the Liberal Party for that time.
00:04:11.580 It just goes to show, this was foreshadowing of an absolute train wreck for the Liberal Party.
00:04:16.900 Bob Ray, the failed former Premier of Ontario, was leading the Liberal Party for a time as the interim leader.
00:04:24.860 And if you don't know much about Bob Ray, you're not from Ontario, look up Ray Days and you'll learn everything you can about Bob Ray,
00:04:31.340 who's the, I think, the ambassador to the UN right now for Canada.
00:04:34.900 Bob Ray's still out there, folks, with the UN, which we should be out of anyway.
00:04:39.060 So, they said that the leadership election would be held April 2013.
00:04:44.060 So, on June 27th of 2012, Deborah Coyne began her campaign. 0.98
00:04:48.880 So, I'm going to do some math here.
00:04:49.900 So, let's say, let's get rid of June because she did it on the 27th, July, August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April. 0.99
00:04:58.640 Ten months prior to the actual leadership election, Deborah Coyne declared she was going to run to be the leader of the Liberal Party.
00:05:08.140 Let's look at the bottom line here, and that's the pertinent one.
00:05:11.520 October 2nd, 2012, Justin Trudeau began his campaign.
00:05:14.980 So, let's take October, October, November, December, January, February, March, April.
00:05:20.880 So, seven months prior to the leadership election, Justin Trudeau got in on the campaign.
00:05:28.120 So, that's seven months in advance.
00:05:29.800 So, again, if we look at the calendar, this is the House of Commons sitting calendar from the actual website for 2024.
00:05:36.000 You can see there the 17th of December, just a few days from now, Tuesday, the final day that they'll be sitting for 2024.
00:05:44.080 Interesting enough that we'll be hearing about the actual deficit, I think, on Monday, which is going to be $60 billion.
00:05:50.960 And then they're going to get out of Dodge, and they won't be able to talk about it until how long?
00:05:54.900 Well, the next calendar date is January of 2025.
00:06:00.160 And as you can see here, they don't come back until the 27th.
00:06:03.140 So, what's that?
00:06:03.740 Five to six weeks between the time they quit sitting in December and almost the end of January.
00:06:10.680 So, if Justin Trudeau were going to resign, you would think he would do it now, because they would lose five to six weeks of a leadership campaign,
00:06:22.820 or at least people to plan for a leadership campaign, if he doesn't go right now.
00:06:27.960 If he waits until the end of January, there's not a lot of time between the end of January and election,
00:06:33.440 which is coming up in October around the 27th.
00:06:36.680 So, January, let's leave January out because it's late in the months.
00:06:41.400 Let's just say February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October.
00:06:46.600 So, about eight months.
00:06:47.760 The last campaign took almost a year, and Trudeau didn't get in until seven months prior to the last leadership campaign.
00:06:54.920 So, I don't think Justin Trudeau is going anywhere.
00:06:58.120 Now, I want to circle back to the actual date of the election, because I mentioned already the reason why they want to push it back to the 27th,
00:07:05.920 one week later than it should be, is because of pensions.
00:07:09.840 And Canadians right now are being held hostage by pensions in this country,
00:07:14.720 which I think needs to be addressed in the next government.
00:07:18.500 Pierre Polyev needs to look at this thing.
00:07:20.260 We are being held hostage for months and months and months by Jagmeet Singh and his pension.
00:07:27.100 Canadians are hurting right now, and the reason people are saying he's doing it is because in February,
00:07:32.620 Jagmeet Singh will get a $2.3 million pension, and he looks like he's going down big time,
00:07:38.440 because I think he's running third in his riding right now.
00:07:40.620 So, don't expect to see Jagmeet Singh around for very much long.
00:07:43.740 He's putting out his resume right now.
00:07:45.460 His CV is going out in great numbers, because he will be out of a job in the next election.
00:07:52.140 We also have to look at pensions and holding off elections for pensions.
00:07:55.940 This should not be allowed to happen.
00:07:58.720 What did I say?
00:07:59.360 80 people?
00:08:00.340 $120 million in pensions?
00:08:02.100 Simply by waiting one week past the actual election date.
00:08:07.020 This should not be happening.
00:08:08.940 So, is Justin Trudeau going anywhere?
00:08:10.940 I don't think so.
00:08:12.740 I think he's going to stick around.
00:08:13.940 The man is an egotist.
00:08:15.300 The man is a narcissist.
00:08:16.640 The man, I think, is ready to go down with the ship.
00:08:20.400 He's on the Titanic, and he's going to lead it right to the bottom, and that's where they are right now.
00:08:25.460 So, that's just my thoughts on that.
00:08:27.000 Probably another video coming later today.
00:08:29.200 It has been an interesting week, and I might just use video to do this one,
00:08:34.120 although maybe a bit of narration with it, but a bit of video today about the leaders here in Canada.
00:08:39.220 Thanks for watching.
