00:00:00.000 You know, I actually gave them some real advice.
00:00:09.900 I said that if you actually say it louder, we've learned in the House of Commons, if
00:00:13.380 you repeat it, if you say it louder, if that is your talking point, people will totally
00:00:17.600 believe it.
00:00:18.560 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel.
00:00:20.620 Thursday, January the 9th at 5.07am, again with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:26.100 Hope you're having a great start to your day.
00:00:27.700 I may have broken Godwin's Law right off the top of this video.
00:00:32.460 Godwin's Law says the longer something is discussed on the internet, the closer you
00:00:35.940 get to talking about Nazi Germany.
00:00:37.800 I started right off the top with this one.
00:00:40.280 But I don't think it's a completely wrong comparison when you talk about what J.G.
00:00:46.620 did under H.
00:00:47.640 When Catherine McKenna, former environment minister under Trudeau, says in a candid moment in
00:00:53.120 a pub, it looks like, the more you yell it, the louder you yell it, the more people believe
00:00:57.100 it.
00:00:57.200 People will believe pretty much anything, and I think that is the case.
00:00:59.640 And I think that's the case with today's topic, okay?
00:01:02.520 And the topic is going to be climate change and the carbon tax, all right?
00:01:07.260 And the reason why I'm bringing this up is because of this article right here in the
00:01:10.360 National Post.
00:01:11.140 Carbon tax needs to be re-examined now that Trudeau's done, say, liberal MPs.
00:01:16.020 And my head wants to go, when I read this.
00:01:18.260 This is from yesterday.
00:01:19.460 I was thinking about this last week prior to Trudeau stepping down.
00:01:22.680 And I was thinking about a leadership campaign.
00:01:25.480 Would there be anybody in a leadership campaign for the Liberals willing to do away with the
00:01:31.660 carbon tax, or at least get rid of the hike that's coming on April 1st?
00:01:35.440 Because right now the timing is this, all right?
00:01:37.900 March 24th, prorogation's over.
00:01:40.380 Some people seem to think we might have a new liberal leader by that point.
00:01:43.460 It's up in the air right now.
00:01:44.460 We're not sure how that's going to play out.
00:01:46.000 But let's just say on March 24th, we have a new liberal leader.
00:01:50.520 April 1st, the carbon tax goes up again.
00:01:52.560 Will that leader be wise enough to stand up and say, we're not going to hike the carbon
00:01:57.880 tax on April 1st?
00:01:58.840 Because this has been Pierre Polyab's big thing, right?
00:02:02.640 Axe the tax.
00:02:03.780 He says it all the time.
00:02:04.760 He talks about housing.
00:02:05.640 He talks about crime.
00:02:06.620 He talks about inflation.
00:02:07.520 He talks about cost of living.
00:02:08.920 But axe the tax.
00:02:10.140 I want to have a carbon tax election.
00:02:12.120 That's what he talks about.
00:02:12.880 So will a liberal actually stand up and admit that this is not good for Canadians?
00:02:19.320 You know, there has been a herd mentality when it comes to liberals.
00:02:23.440 And I looked at, you know, I know what a herd mentality is, but I wanted to find out a
00:02:26.280 good definition of it.
00:02:27.360 So this is what came up right off the top, the tendency for individuals to think and behave
00:02:33.020 like others in their group rather than individuals.
00:02:36.320 And that's what liberals are.
00:02:38.280 They have a herd mentality.
00:02:40.340 They don't think for themselves.
00:02:42.000 And, you know, it said right off the top, you know, liberal.
00:02:44.580 You can't spell liberal without L-I-N-E. 0.98
00:02:46.840 And these people have been lying to you through their herd mentality for years.
00:02:52.040 They listen to Trudeau.
00:02:53.620 They sit there like nodding nabobs behind him. 0.93
00:02:56.480 You watch him in the House of Commons.
00:02:58.160 Yes, yes, yes.
00:02:59.440 Justin, you speak the truth.
00:03:01.120 And this is what he's been telling you about the carbon tax for years.
00:03:05.440 Now, incoming Trudeau right now.
00:03:07.700 I know you hate to see him, but I will finish this up with a pure Polyev bit here. 1.00
00:03:12.560 So you get a little bit of him before the end of this video.
00:03:15.440 This is Trudeau on how you're going to do better with the carbon tax.
00:03:18.860 The price on pollution puts more money in the pockets out of eight of ten Canadian families
00:03:25.080 and fights climate change while building a stronger, more competitive future.
00:03:30.700 A family of four in Alberta is going to receive $1,800 over the coming year with our price on pollution.
00:03:40.720 That is more than the average family will pay with the carbon price.
00:03:46.900 So there you go.
00:03:47.800 This is what he's been telling you over and over and over again for years.
00:03:52.060 Tell a lie enough, it becomes a truth.
00:03:54.000 Say it loud enough in Parliament.
00:03:56.140 Say it over and over again.
00:03:57.340 It becomes a truth like Catherine McKenna said.
00:03:59.260 This is what Trudeau does.
00:04:01.000 And Polyev has been absolutely brutal against the Liberals and has been hammering them.
00:04:05.260 He's got them by the short and curlies on this issue.
00:04:07.780 And finally, Liberals are starting to see the light on this and are changing their mind.
00:04:12.780 But it's interesting.
00:04:14.020 They know they're going to be shown the door.
00:04:15.760 So now they can speak the truth.
00:04:17.080 They've been lying to you about this for years.
00:04:19.320 And this tax goes up every April 1st.
00:04:21.980 Back to the National Post article.
00:04:24.060 Carbon tax needs to be re-examined now that Trudeau's done, say, Liberal MPs.
00:04:27.940 Now, I'm not going to read this whole article to you because a lot of it at the bottom
00:04:31.240 talks about the people who may be running for the Liberal leadership.
00:04:34.320 But if we move ahead here to a couple of paragraphs, there should be no policy sacred cow, said
00:04:40.480 Marcus Pawlowski, who represents the writing of Thunder Bay, Rainy River, quote, everything
00:04:45.340 should be open to debate.
00:04:47.280 Now he finally sees the light and thinks we should be having a debate about the carbon
00:04:51.720 tax.
00:04:52.800 And it continues to cost you money.
00:04:54.660 And the truth will be revealed in just a moment.
00:04:57.100 Next paragraph.
00:04:58.140 For Atlantic MPs like New Brunswick's Wayne Long and Ken McDonald of Newfoundland and Labrador,
00:05:02.760 both of whom are not seeking re-election.
00:05:05.680 That's the key here, folks.
00:05:07.340 That means the party being unafraid of distancing itself from Trudeau's legacy of the carbon tax.
00:05:12.600 And if we move down just a little bit, McDonald, who represents a rural writing, agrees it's
00:05:18.200 time to move on.
00:05:19.620 Quote, it does make things more expensive regardless of what people say about it.
00:05:25.520 Unquote.
00:05:25.960 Quote, people say about it.
00:05:28.160 What Mr. McDonald, who's been sitting behind Trudeau in the House of Commons for years,
00:05:33.540 has been saying about it.
00:05:34.720 He has been lying to you about this issue.
00:05:36.740 It costs you more money.
00:05:39.040 Will a liberal leader, a new one, axe the tax?
00:05:43.460 And then, Pierre Polyev is kind of neutered on this issue completely.
00:05:47.460 They finally see the light.
00:05:48.360 I'd like them to rebate us some money for all we've had to spend over the years.
00:05:52.640 Not only do they think that this tax, or have been lying to you about this tax for years, 0.98
00:05:58.780 they think you've been stupid about it as well. 1.00
00:06:00.980 Listen to this. 0.98
00:06:01.940 He nonetheless believes, now this is talking about Kevin Lamoureux, MP from Winnipeg North.
00:06:06.400 He nonetheless believes the liberals left the policy susceptible to a tax from Polyev
00:06:11.060 because the government failed to help people understand how it worked,
00:06:15.140 including how it connects to the climate.
00:06:17.980 You don't understand it. 1.00
00:06:19.160 You're too stupid to understand how it connects to the climate. 1.00
00:06:21.660 Well, folks, it doesn't. 1.00
00:06:23.940 You can't just shut off CO2 and change the climate.
00:06:26.580 It ain't going to happen.
00:06:27.700 This is about social engineering.
00:06:30.400 They want to get rid of oil and gas, and they want you to stop driving your car.
00:06:34.880 So you drive up prices so much, so you have to use less.
00:06:37.640 And that's what this is about.
00:06:38.680 That's not the responsibility of the federal government.
00:06:41.740 But this is the big lie, and it's going to be fascinating to see what happens on this
00:06:46.440 when it comes to the new leader of the Liberal Party.
00:06:50.040 Now, here is Pierre Polyev.
00:06:51.780 I'll let him get the last word on this, talking about how the carbon tax affects you
00:06:56.740 and how you're not getting more money back by paying into it.
00:06:59.880 Thanks for watching.
00:07:00.740 See you in the next one.
00:07:01.980 By the way, this is an appropriate day to ask you because I checked my bank account this morning.
00:07:05.360 I got a couple hundred bucks from Justin Trudeau.
00:07:07.320 So, and then he will say, well, here's the problem.
00:07:10.000 Pierre Polyev is going to take that away.
00:07:11.520 That's my carbon rebate.
00:07:12.740 You're going to take that away from me.
00:07:14.540 He already took it away from you.
00:07:16.060 He took it away from you when you were gassing up your car, when you were buying your groceries,
00:07:21.380 with food that was taxed when the farmer used fuel to produce it, when the trucker used fuel to ship it.
00:07:28.460 He took it away from you when he prevented you from getting that raise you didn't know you might have got.
00:07:33.840 But for the fact that Bell is paying a carbon tax to heat the place,
00:07:39.140 the parliamentary budget officer has demonstrated that 60% of families will pay more in carbon taxes
00:07:45.540 than they get back in rebates.
00:07:47.580 So, it's a fraud.
00:07:49.220 So, it's a fraud.
