Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. It is 3.50 a.m. Monday, August the 25th with the
00:00:11.260
Big Blue Mug of Coffee. Hope you had a great weekend and you're having a great start to your

00:00:31.020
give a shout out to my sisters. For those of you who haven't been here before, I was in a pretty bad
00:00:36.220
cycling accident a couple of weekends ago. My pelvis is broken in a couple of places and my left
00:00:42.640
collarbone is broken. I've got a number of months of, well, recuperation coming up right now, but my
00:00:48.420
sister sent me this in a care package yesterday. Isn't that awesome? So thanks to my sisters. I
00:00:54.260
love you very much. You made my weekend and you made my day. Well, Canada's back on the national
00:01:01.560
stage once again. Mark Carney making an announcement about, well, spending some more of your Canadian
00:01:07.340
taxpayer dollars and maybe putting troops on the ground over in Ukraine. In parallel, we're investing
00:01:14.220
today $2 billion in new military assistance for Ukraine. $800 million of this will help strengthen
00:01:21.640
Ukraine's arsenal for the most urgently needed defense equipment, drones, ammunition, armored
00:01:27.560
vehicles. And we had a discussion today about specifying and targeting that assistance where it
00:01:34.280
will have the greatest impact and we will do so. So more of your Canadian tax dollars are going to go
00:01:39.640
over to Ukraine. And he's talked about maybe sending troops over there eventually. I mean, I'm in favor of
00:01:45.720
peace here. I don't want to see more of my money to go fund war and death. I don't want that to happen
00:01:51.980
anymore. I'd love to see a paper trail on this money. I just don't think this is getting to the place
00:01:56.460
we think it's getting. I think somebody's lining their pockets and it very well could be Zelensky
00:02:01.120
himself. I think when all of this is done, you'll find out that he's a very rich man and he's enriched
00:02:06.840
himself off the ignorance of people here in the West. Mark Carney right now, it's not a bait and
00:02:14.560
switch. I don't think it's a bait and switch. It's not really what it is. But this is very much
00:02:18.440
in line with what my thumbnail is showing you here. It's a squirrel moment. Don't pay attention
00:02:23.400
to all the stuff that's happening in behind the scenes. Watch the squirrel and be amused by the
00:02:28.680
little squirrel that's running around on the ground over there. People like Mark Nixon rightfully
00:02:33.140
pointing out that Canada has a lot of problems right now, yet here we are spending more money
00:02:37.420
overseas. But this is an opportunity for Mark Carney to change the narrative once again. He had a bad
00:02:44.400
week last week when he gave in to Donald Trump. Remember, this is the guy that said Pierre Polyev
00:02:49.520
would kneel down to Donald Trump. And a person who draws his inspiration from President Trump like
00:02:55.340
Pierre Polyev will kneel down before him, before he stands up to him.
00:03:02.560
We can argue whether Mark Carney has actually knelt down to Donald Trump here. But it wasn't a good
00:03:09.760
look last week. So you can see, I mean, what is this about? Why is he in Ukraine right now? Well, you can
00:03:16.600
see him sitting in his office with his staff thinking, we need to change the narrative here.
00:03:21.600
And the liberals are really good at this. And they're good at convincing people that their new
00:03:27.440
narrative is the most important thing. The new narrative in this situation is Ukraine. Let's
00:03:33.780
shift away from my failure in negotiating Donald Trump, my main reason for getting elected, and
00:03:39.840
let's shift to Ukraine so nobody's thinking about the other thing anymore. Ukraine is the squirrel that's
00:03:44.580
in my thumbnail, right? Don't pay attention to the guy behind the curtain, which is all the stuff that
00:03:50.180
Mark Nixon put in his tweet, and what's in my thumbnail right now. Pay attention to the squirrel,
00:03:55.840
which is Ukraine, $2 billion, and Canada on the world stage. Have you ever noticed that Mark Carney
00:04:00.840
always runs to Europe when he's in trouble? He feels more comfortable there, because he called
00:04:06.840
himself a European. Not a Canadian. He hasn't lived here for a decade or more. And as soon as he gets
00:04:20.880
voted out, he'll disappear, like Michael Ignatieff did years ago. When Ignatieff lost his election,
00:04:26.580
he went right back to the United States. That's where Mark Carney's going to go. He'll go back to
00:04:29.840
Europe. But this is a pattern for the Liberal Party. They just changed the narrative. It's their
00:04:35.560
playbook. And they changed the narrative the biggest way when it came to the election.
00:04:39.620
We had 10 years of incompetence under Trudeau and the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party.
00:04:44.840
Changing the manager didn't change the team. But that's what people thought was happening here.
00:04:51.080
Instead of paying attention to all the issues that happened, and by every metric, the decline of
00:04:56.920
Canada over 10 years, pay attention to the squirrel. And the squirrel was Donald Trump.
00:05:01.920
And enough people bought it. And enough people will accept the narrative of Ukraine now. And
00:05:06.460
will forget about the actual tariff issue, which is the biggest issue right now in Canada.
00:05:11.020
And the cost of living. And crime. And immigration. And housing. And all these issues.
00:05:18.840
The thing that we have to think about is the Liberal voter. And my sister said to me the other day,
00:05:23.640
she gets tired of me calling people who voted for the Liberals idiots. I don't know that I've used the
00:05:29.200
word idiots. It's quite possible. She's probably right. I think you were naive in voting for the
00:05:35.140
Liberal Party. But if you voted Liberal, start thinking about what's going on here and realize
00:05:41.480
that you can change your mind. It's not a failure to admit that you made a mistake. But I find a lot of
00:05:49.660
Liberals are in for a penny, in for a pound at this point. They're so invested in Mark Carney. The Liberals have
00:05:55.680
so effectively manipulated how you think, propagandized you, that you're unwilling to accept that you made a
00:06:07.480
mistake. And it's okay to do that. Don't let the Liberals continue to change the narrative on you. The real
00:06:16.960
issues are right here where you live. And spending another $2 billion in Ukraine is going to accomplish
