00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 5 o'clock in the morning, Wednesday, October
00:00:07.620 the 22nd. I hope you're having a great start to your Wednesday morning. I tip my big blue
00:00:12.320 mug of coffee to you. I tip it, got to be careful, it's pretty full. I don't want to tip
00:00:16.440 it into my MacBook. Tasting oh so sweet this morning. Thank you for being here. I want
00:00:24.300 to talk this morning about something that had conservatives incensed and really pissed
00:00:30.720 off yesterday, and they made it clear on social media. And I almost ran to my camera yesterday
00:00:38.320 to comment on it as well, but I didn't, because I wanted to think about it a little bit. And
00:00:42.300 I woke up with a different perspective this morning. I'm going to show you that in just
00:00:45.340 a moment. I know the suspense is killing you. So what I want to do is ask you a question
00:00:52.500 here. Now, I'm assuming you're probably a conservative. What is the thing that's holding
00:00:58.420 Canada back the most? Okay? What's the thing that's holding Canada back? I'm not going to
00:01:05.900 play the Jeopardy music. Think about it for a few seconds. I'm assuming that a large number
00:01:14.880 of you said the Liberal Party of Canada. And I think for the most part, you're right, but
00:01:19.920 I think we're missing something here. What's holding Canada back the most is the Liberal Party,
00:01:26.640 but it's that they, Liberals, and the people who vote for them think that what they're doing
00:01:33.180 is right. They think they can do no wrong, and they think everything that's happened in
00:01:38.240 this country over the last 10 years has been just. And that's the real danger.
00:01:45.820 What did I see yesterday? I saw this. And you probably saw this as well. Now, this is...
00:01:53.680 Cover your screens with cellophane. I'm going to read this to you. Justin Trudeau.
00:02:00.300 10 years ago today, Canadians chose a more hopeful path. I'll never forget that night in 2015,
00:02:06.520 the energy, the optimism, and the belief that together we could build a better future.
00:02:10.980 A decade later, we've lifted hundreds of thousands of people out of poverty, strengthened and grown the
00:02:15.820 middle class, built a $10 a day childcare system, led the fight against climate change,
00:02:20.940 advanced reconciliation, and made Canada more inclusive and fair for everyone.
00:02:24.800 I'm deeply grateful to everyone who is part of this journey and believed that better is always
00:02:30.120 possible. Justin Trudeau believes everything he says here. So does everybody in the Liberal Party
00:02:37.660 and everyone who voted Liberal. A decade later, hundreds of thousands of people haven't been
00:02:43.040 lifted out of poverty. It's worse. The middle class is farther behind. $10 a day childcare has
00:02:49.700 decimated the childcare system. The fight against climate change is holding my province back.
00:02:54.340 It's holding the country back. Reconciliation isn't any further ahead. In fact, it's probably
00:02:59.040 worse. And is Canada more inclusive and fair for everyone? I don't believe that at all. But
00:03:03.960 as George Costanza said from Seinfeld, it's not a lie if you believe it, but they believe this.
00:03:11.780 And that takes us to this guy. Now, Justin Trudeau, with everything he's done and the Liberals have
00:03:20.760 done over the last 10 years, I believe the Liberals think that they have to tear the country down to
00:03:24.720 its roots in order to rebuild it in their image. But Justin Trudeau wasn't clever enough to get
00:03:31.280 a lot of that done as much as he hurt the economy. But this guy, this guy is about as devious as it
00:03:38.880 gets. And he's got a plan for a worldwide change in the system. And he's been telling us about this
00:03:45.600 since he got into the campaign to be the leader of the Liberal Party. That's where he is in this
00:03:50.780 video you're seeing right here. I'm going to play a short clip for you in just a moment.
00:03:53.720 He laid it all out and now he's laying out where we're going in the future. And we're going to find
00:03:57.980 out on November 4th. So what did he say way back in the middle of January? I think this was January
00:04:03.920 the 16th. Old times, my friends, are over. Our times are anything but ordinary.
00:04:19.760 The system, it's not working as it should. And it's not working as it could.
00:04:26.720 People are anxious. No wonder. Too many are falling behind. Too many young people can't
00:04:36.300 afford a home. Too many people can't find a doctor. And then we're living through the two
00:04:43.660 biggest technological revolutions since they split the atom. And our climate is changing in
00:04:50.040 ways that threatens livelihoods from Fort Mac to Fort Smith. And then on top of that,
00:04:55.600 as George just mentioned, in just four days, the United States will swear in Donald Trump as their
00:05:02.680 47th president. A man who threatens economic force on his closest, most steadfast allies,
00:05:11.800 including Canada. No. You see what he did there? He laid all this out back the day he announced his
00:05:19.780 candidacy for the Liberal Party leadership. And see what he did? This is just a short clip
00:05:24.460 of his speech, mid-January, worthy of an Academy Award. No doubt he stood in front of the mirror,
00:05:31.540 all the pregnant pauses and everything, for the best dramatic effect possible. And he
00:05:36.520 he bookended it. Old times are over. Donald Trump. He ended it with Donald Trump. The reason for all
00:05:44.680 your problems here, not the Liberal Party, it's Donald Trump. That's what the people who vote Liberal think.
00:05:49.440 More people voted against Donald Trump than voted for Mark Carney. The system's not working as it
00:05:56.760 should, he said. Because this guy, this guy's got a plan for a worldwide system and he's going to lead
00:06:04.040 the charge on this and it's going to be your money paying for it. And you're going to suffer for this.
00:06:09.120 He talks about technological advancements, two of them, AI and climate. And boy, are you going to
00:06:16.860 get climate on November the 4th, folks. See, this is all normal to the Liberals. They believe what
00:06:24.740 they're doing is right and just. And you're just coming along for the bumpy ride, folks. You know,
00:06:32.360 your taxes are too high in Canada. They give you a little tax break and say you should be happy with
00:06:38.200 it. See, you're doing better, aren't you? Your health care becomes insufficient and inefficient, but it's
00:06:44.260 the best health care in the country. Nothing gets done about it. He mentioned it in that clip. What's
00:06:49.260 considered a home now? A shipping container? A government approved home? Why is the government in the
00:06:56.940 housing business? This is all perfectly fine in the Liberal worldview. They believe this.
00:07:03.300 Food prices. I said it a few weeks ago. Food prices are high. There was a story this week.
00:07:07.720 They've gone up again. They're going to come down a little bit, folks. The Liberals are going to take
00:07:10.860 credit and say this is normal, but it's not. They'll still be way too high. And, you know, here's
00:07:17.020 another one. Government funding the media. The Liberals are fine with that. That's normal. Listen, I was in the
00:07:22.740 media business going back to the mid-80s and the people I worked with back then would be appalled
00:07:28.480 that the government was funding the media. You can have no credibility when it comes to funding from
00:07:33.900 the government if you're a media organization. This is all normal and it's fine in the Liberal
00:07:38.680 worldview. What's coming? What's coming? Investment. The investment is going to make you broke. Here is
00:07:50.960 Mark Carney talking about the November 4th budget and all the investment and what it is, is a hell
00:07:57.940 of a lot of spending and it's not normal. This budget is generational. This will help define this
00:08:05.560 country, the scale of investment, to create hundreds of thousands of high-paying, high-skilled jobs for
00:08:12.940 people who are listening to this program. If you're young and you want to go into the skilled trades
00:08:16.380 with our budget, we are going to create those jobs. But also to create a much stronger economy so that
00:08:22.720 we can't be sideswiped by decisions south of the border and that we are in control of our own
00:08:28.880 destiny. And that is truly turning the corner. And that's not just turning the corner, if I can keep
00:08:34.380 the metaphor. It's driving where we want to go. And that's what we're going to deliver.
00:08:39.900 I believe at least one thing he said there was correct. This is going to be a generational budget,
00:08:44.080 but I think of it a little differently than him. It will bankrupt the next generation and the one 0.99
00:08:48.540 after that and the one after that and the one after that. And he talks about high-paid, high-skilled
00:08:54.580 jobs and how the government is investing in those things. That's just robbing you, taking your money 0.66
00:09:01.260 and printing money. And certainly young people are going to love it because he's going to bribe them
00:09:05.760 with your money to get votes in the next election. And since when is it the federal government's job to
00:09:11.580 create jobs? That's not their job. Their job is to get out of the way and make it easier for 0.82
00:09:16.900 companies to create jobs. But they don't do that because this is the new normal. This is what
00:09:21.640 liberals believe. They're rebuilding the economy and the system and giving you more socialism. And
00:09:27.380 you don't think you're getting more socialism? Have you not been paying attention? You got a new
00:09:31.840 office for online fraud. That came up a couple of weeks ago. We got all these intelligence agencies
00:09:36.900 that already do that. Probably employing thousands of people with the federal government. But we got
00:09:41.960 a new office for that now. That was released a couple of weeks ago. You got a major projects
00:09:46.440 office. It's located in my town here, here in Calgary where I live. A woman heads it up, no doubt
00:09:51.140 hundreds of people working in that office. If the federal government just got out of the way, we could
00:09:56.180 build major projects. But we got a new office for that. We got a new office for housing and government
00:10:00.920 approved houses. Since when is it the government's job to build freaking houses? Got a housing industry that can do 0.85
00:10:06.620 that far better. But he's going to invest in that, folks. And you got a federal school food program,
00:10:12.360 no doubt, administered by hundreds of federal employees making hundreds of thousands of dollars
00:10:17.540 a year. And what's coming next, folks? Well, how about the new office for youth employment and training?
00:10:24.240 That's probably coming up in the budget. I'm just making this up. But can you see this not happening?
00:10:29.280 The new climate office for carbon security and net zero, something like that. Or the new office for
00:10:35.440 sustenance, groceries, and nutrition, or something like that, because food prices are way too high in
00:10:40.980 this country. And then we get stories like this. Government worries over potential election after
00:10:49.840 Blanc conservative budget demands. I have a big feeling that the Blanc Québécois are going to get 0.55
00:10:54.540 a lot of money in this budget because he needs the votes in Quebec, which will piss off Alberta even more.
00:11:00.380 The conservatives are asking for things they'll get nothing. I mean, the liberals aren't going to
00:11:05.180 say much about Piripolyev other than the fact that he wants to see Trudeau arrested and he thinks the
00:11:10.040 RCMP is despicable. Expect that story to go on for weeks and weeks and weeks. God forbid that we
00:11:15.440 should have an election, folks. Because this, the liberals believe everything they've done is just
00:11:20.960 and correct. Go back to that Justin Trudeau tweet. But so do the people who vote for Mark Carney.
00:11:26.840 Do you really think if we had an election soon, the conservatives would win?
00:11:36.060 God forbid. If we had an election soon, the liberals would likely get a majority in this country.
00:11:45.520 Because Donald Trump is still out there, folks. And they need Donald Trump. When would we have an
00:11:51.040 election? I was looking at it this morning. November 4th is the budget. There'll be a few days
00:11:56.340 where they discuss it. They'll have a vote on it. If the government were to fall, 36 days is the
00:12:02.740 shortest federal election we could have. I would figure that somewhere around December 16th, there
00:12:10.020 might be a call for an election or have an election. Because November 10th would probably be the day,
00:12:15.400 Monday, November 10th, when they would have a vote on the budget. So 36 days after that would be
00:12:20.100 December 16th. Christmas time election. God forbid, folks. Because I don't trust the electorate. Like
00:12:30.860 they say, never, ever underestimate the stupidity of the electorate. And I think a majority of Canadians
00:12:38.440 would vote for the liberals. Because all of this, folks, is perfectly normal. Tell me what you think.
