Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 513 AM, Friday, July the 11th.
00:00:10.480
I hope you're having a great start to your day.
00:00:12.760
I've got my big blue mug of coffee today and I've been up since about 3.30 this morning
00:00:18.300
preparing today's video, which I think is an important one and it might be a bit of
00:00:21.920
a rant and I will do my best to refrain from using profanity, but this makes me mad.
00:00:30.420
This is a reaction to the way people are reacting, reacting to Mark Carney and proposed
00:00:39.500
I've seen people who are journalists who I respect, journalists who I think are smart,
00:00:52.580
Brian Lilly writes this article, here's the headline right here, suggesting that Mark Carney
00:01:00.960
You know, people online saying that conservatives should be happy because Mark Carney is going
00:01:07.180
It's what Pure Polly have wanted to do and he's going to cut the budget.
00:01:18.720
Were the people who are considering that Mark Carney is a conservative paying attention at all?
00:01:23.380
You know, during the election campaign, I mentioned many times, Carney's got two budgets.
00:01:30.200
He talks about less spending, more investing, less spending when it comes to operational,
00:01:38.000
It's kind of like an economic, I guess, bait and switch.
00:01:40.560
Here is Michael Cooper, conservative MP, explaining it to those of you who don't understand what
00:01:51.060
Mark Carney is not being honest with Canadians about his massive deficit spending plans.
00:01:57.560
Using carefully crafted language, Carney is trying to create the illusion that he has
00:02:04.140
Take the recent speech from the throne where Carney's government committed to balancing
00:02:11.340
The government will balance its operating budget over the next three years by cutting waste,
00:02:20.120
Carney plans to hide this massive new deficit spending by making the federal budget more
00:02:29.260
He plans to create two budgets, an operating budget and a capital budget.
00:02:34.240
The operating budget would cover day-to-day government spending, while the capital budget would cover
00:02:41.180
In other words, Carney's definition of capital spending includes government handouts, corporate
00:02:50.300
This elastic definition of capital spending allows Carney to balance the operating budget,
00:02:56.620
not by balancing anything, but by shifting spending to the capital budget.
00:03:04.300
He's going to cut about apparently $25 billion from the operational side, but he's got the
00:03:10.300
capital budget where he's adding something like $92 billion in deficit spending this year,
00:03:15.100
77 next year, and the next year, and the next year.
00:03:18.100
$486 billion apparently is the number, it's a wild number, in deficit spending.
00:03:27.200
Any little amount is good, but we're spending ourselves into oblivion here.
00:03:34.700
Now, cutting back on some public employees is good, but we gained 40% more employees since Trudeau got in
00:03:41.080
in 2015, more than 100,000 new public servants in this country.
00:03:48.780
And I wonder how the public servants who are losing their jobs are going to feel when they find out
00:03:53.320
that Carney is shipping millions in taxpayers' dollars to Moldova to, quote,
00:03:59.020
enhance climate resilience and promote gender equality, unquote.
00:04:07.180
And is that what Carney promised the public sector?
00:04:09.940
He hammered Polyev about his plan, which would eliminate jobs through attrition.
00:04:19.420
Did, I mean, when it comes to cutting government, maybe the other guy had a more sensible plan.
00:04:30.200
Under Trudeau Carney, liberals, they have, for example, added 100,000 public servants.
00:04:38.220
They've doubled the budget for corporate welfare.
00:04:45.320
I'll be cutting back on foreign aid to bring our money back home to Canada.
00:04:49.060
And I'll impose a dollar-for-dollar law that requires my ministers find a dollar of savings
00:04:57.740
Meanwhile, you got the guy who beat Polyev in his writing of Carlton.
00:05:06.560
We need all hands on deck to defend our country from Trump's trade war.
00:05:22.780
And now more than ever, your country needs you.
00:05:25.240
But Pierre, much like Donald Trump, shows utter disdain for public servants.
00:05:30.300
He's promising Trump-style cuts to the public sector, which would lead to 100,000 jobs lost.
00:05:38.180
These cuts will put Carlton residents, his own constituents, out of work at a time when we need them most.
00:05:45.540
We can win this election and stop Polyev from gutting the public service.
00:05:54.340
Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols is famous for saying,
00:05:58.000
Do you ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
00:06:04.260
When are Liberal voters going to realize they've been had?
00:06:06.960
I wonder if Fanjoy knew this was coming when he said that.
00:06:10.280
And the question you have to ask is, will the Liberals actually cut anything?
00:06:15.220
I have a saying, you can't spell Liberal without L-I-N-E.
00:06:24.940
You know, people had the foresight years ago to realize we had riches below our feet,
00:06:30.160
that we could have got out of the ground, you know, natural resources.
00:06:34.120
Your Liberals did everything to keep it in the ground.
00:06:36.660
Not only that, but they empowered people to get in the way of resource development.
00:06:45.220
And I might add that here in my province, where I live, my home of Alberta,
00:06:52.680
the Liberals have cost Alberta tens, if not hundreds, of billions of dollars in investment.
00:06:59.440
And in those riches, we could have got out of the ground.
00:07:04.320
You look at pipelines in particular, we had $176 billion worth of proposed projects that got cancelled
00:07:13.140
because of the uncertainty created by various government laws.
00:07:16.620
The ban on export of bitumen from the West Coast, the No More Pipelines bill,
00:07:22.200
the threats of net zero electricity grid, emissions cap on oil, emissions cap on methane,
00:07:36.020
Imagine the wealth for Alberta if we could have kept those investment dollars,
00:07:40.220
if we could have gotten our resources out of the ground.
00:07:43.640
Imagine the wealth for Alberta if it was independent.
00:07:50.660
Trump continues to take a wrecking ball to Canada with tariffs.
00:08:01.220
He wants to do what he thinks is best for the United States, whether you like it or not.
00:08:08.520
He sees a tasty little snack and he's going to feast on it.
00:08:13.060
You know, Canada may not be the 51st state, but you liberal voters may wish it is pretty soon
00:08:18.740
if things don't get straightened out here real quick.
00:08:22.280
Now, the reason why you probably clicked on this is because of the thumbnail.
00:08:41.660
But is the Liberal Party really the problem here?
00:08:46.180
The big problem is the people that continue to vote for them.
00:08:59.260
A few words from the Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan.
00:09:13.460
And then you leave it to the Conservatives to come in and clean up the mess.
00:09:39.360
