The Liberals must get out of the way of growth. That's what they say, but it's not what they actually believe. And this is the gap that is tearing this country apart, this dumpster fire that I call Canada apart.

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel, 452 a.m. Thursday, October the 16th. I hope
00:00:09.240 you're having a great start to your Thursday morning. I've got my big blue mug of coffee
00:00:13.520 and I appreciate you being here. So, where do I begin? I did a video probably a couple
00:00:24.500 of months ago now where I talked about the growing chasm or gap between the left and
00:00:30.000 the right in Canada. And I was saying at the time, I think it's getting harder and harder
00:00:36.360 to bridge that gap between the two sides. And instead of the country coming together,
00:00:42.520 which is what the Canada strong thing that Carney talked about and Team Canada that Carney
00:00:48.360 talked about bringing us together, this gap is getting bigger all the time. And
00:00:52.920 I got this feeling after reading Pierre Polyev's article in the National Post yesterday. I'm not
00:00:59.360 sure whether you saw it, but it's a great article. It's very precise. It's very common sense. It's
00:01:07.720 called The Liberals Must Get Out of the Way of Growth. And it's what you and I as conservatives
00:01:12.160 think, but the left doesn't think this way. And this is the gap that is tearing this country,
00:01:17.440 this dumpster fire that I call Canada apart. And I'm going to prove it right now. The left
00:01:22.060 they're nuts. They're crazy. And I have nothing in common with them. And if you're like me, 1.00
00:01:31.800 neither do you anymore. That's why we need to divide the country in half and give half of it
00:01:38.280 to the East and half of it to the West. They can have British Columbia and we can go our own ways
00:01:43.380 and live in peace, harmony. And in the West, we can have prosperity. We can't have nice things in
00:01:49.440 this country because of the nuts and the people who support them on the left. I'm going to prove
00:01:54.620 it to you right now. And I never thought I was going to talk about this this morning. Isn't that
00:01:58.320 funny how it always happens this way? So here, I'm going to read a little bit of this article to
00:02:04.280 you. I hate when people read the whole article. You can read the whole thing. Link in the description.
00:02:08.620 I'm going to read a few passages for you. And then I'm going to show you what I saw from Mark
00:02:12.340 Carney. First thing I saw from him this morning that is probably was posted mere hours after
00:02:18.140 Polyev's article went up on the National Post website that is diametrically opposed to everything
00:02:23.580 you agree with. But the left loves this. So here's the article, the liberals must get out of the way
00:02:29.820 of growth. No kidding. So I'll read a bit of it for you. For centuries, alchemists promised and failed
00:02:36.680 to turn lead into gold. What is most astounding is that even after each debunking, the charlatans
00:02:43.300 would repackage their discredited schemes as something new with fresh jargon and different
00:02:48.420 salesmen, luring wave after wave of hopeful dupes eager for golden miracles. Instead of promising to 0.98
00:02:55.100 turn lead into gold, today's alchemist-in-chief, Mark Carney, promises to turn deficits into investment.
00:03:01.600 An old Trudeau liberal promise repackaged as a fresh idea with shiny new slogans like,
00:03:07.340 what did I talk about yesterday? Spend less and invest more. Sounds more sophisticated,
00:03:13.640 but it's not that different from the budget will balance itself. Which was Justin Trudeau's way of
00:03:20.460 promising that deficits would fund investments, sparking enough economic growth and tax revenue
00:03:25.620 for, well, the budget to balance itself. So I'm going to skip over things he talks about
00:03:31.520 investments, he talks about deficits, he talks about GDP and how you're falling farther behind.
00:03:36.660 And I'm going to go down to this part right here. Carney would tell you that when the government
00:03:41.260 borrows money out of the private sector, it can use the money for big state-directed economic
00:03:47.220 investments that will produce greater returns. That prompts two questions. If an economic project
00:03:52.840 is viable, why would the government need to fund it? If it is not viable, why would the government
00:03:58.900 want to fund it? Ports, rail lines, pipelines and other large-scale infrastructure can get loans and
00:04:05.440 investments from the trillions of private dollars available from pension funds or insurance companies
00:04:10.520 and collect user fees to pay out returns. The fact that a given project needs government money is a good
00:04:16.700 hint that it will be a massive money loser. The only reason why money-making projects do not happen in
00:04:23.160 Canada is because the government won't get out of the way and won't let them happen. We have the
00:04:29.140 second slowest building permits in the OECD and among the highest taxes on investment. The government
00:04:34.840 of Canada only needs to do one thing to unlock trillions of dollars in investment. Get out of the
00:04:40.400 way. Get out of the way by granting the fastest permits in the developed world. Get out of the way and
00:04:46.580 end capital gains tax on reinvestments. Get out of the way and repeal anti-resource laws and bans on
00:04:52.540 shipping off of BC's north coast. And end oil and gas production cap. Get out of the way and let 0.75
00:04:58.620 builders build, workers work, and business boom. With the most resources of any country in the world,
00:05:05.380 we do not need liberal alchemists to promise shit again to turn deficits into investment or lead into 0.99
00:05:11.440 gold. We need them to get out of the way and let Canadians start digging the gold mine that is right 1.00
00:05:17.680 under our feet. And I've mentioned how many times I'm sitting in my backyard a week ago saying,
00:05:22.120 right below my feet in Calgary, there's trillions of dollars in oil and we can't get it out of the
00:05:26.380 ground. Great article. Again, link in the description. So what do I see? First thing this morning from
00:05:32.020 Mark Carney, mere hours after this was posted on the National Post website, here's a tweet from the
00:05:36.840 Prime Minister of Canada talking about Canada getting in the real estate business with a new
00:05:41.440 housing design dialogue. Pick your house from your new realtor, Mark Carney, with the new housing
00:05:48.040 program that Canada's dumping billions of dollars into. It has 50 standardized housing designs that
00:05:55.520 builders will use to streamline approvals, cut through red tape, and get millions more homes built
00:06:00.260 faster. All we need to do is get the government out of the way. The government does not solve problems, 0.74
00:06:07.420 it creates the problems. To which I answered right here, I'm not going to read it because I would
00:06:12.540 have to edit it. Government housing, this is going to be a massive. I mean, this is just ridiculous.
00:06:21.660 You know, we're now feeding your kids because you can't afford your food. We're now trying to build 0.97
00:06:26.360 houses because housing prices are through the roof. And all we need to do, like Pierre Polyev said,
00:06:31.020 is get out of the way. But they won't do it. Because there's this chasm. But here's the thing.
00:06:37.840 I want to just show you here. This is from Small Dead Animals. This is a post just the other day. I want
00:06:42.740 a new country. See this beautiful home. A friend of mine is selling this property in Alabama. So here's
00:06:48.140 the house in Stockton, Alabama for $435,000. Beautiful country home. 1.6 acres of land. $435,000.
00:06:57.560 Here's a house you can buy in Saskatoon right now. $667,000. And if you walk at your front door,
00:07:04.120 you're standing on your neighbor's front porch almost. Yet the government has to build your house.
00:07:10.420 Your new realtor is Mark Carney. But here's the thing, folks. Here's where the gap,
00:07:14.900 the chasm is growing between people like you and me, common sense people, and people who support
00:07:21.060 Mark Carney and this nonsense on the left. I see this tweet this morning from a guy named
00:07:26.140 John Brennan. We're in the fight of our lives for Canada to survive as a nation. While we watch the
00:07:31.740 United States surrender its democracy to Project 2025, the only way we survive is to stand united with our
00:07:38.320 PM. Pierre Polyev needs to get that message and stop bashing the PM. It gets worse.
00:07:44.900 You know what? That's his job? John Brennan? Who the hell are you? Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:07:50.680 Here's that absolute nutcase. This woman's a nut. Really? So Polyev is talking about how 1.00
00:07:55.480 Stellantis is losing jobs. And Mark Carney has not done anything to solve the problem with the issues
00:08:02.320 we've got with the United States. And he promises way back in July. Really? Sold them out? Why do you
00:08:10.480 think this divisiveness appeals to Canadians? It's a trade war. Mark Carney is doing his best to save
00:08:15.760 our country from a tyrannical American president. You seem to copy daily. We are not fools. And Canadians
00:08:22.460 are sick of your MAGA BS. The liberals are the disease, Laura. And so are the people who support 1.00
00:08:28.980 Mark Carney and the left in this country. They hate Donald Trump so much, they've lost their freaking minds. 0.99
00:08:34.760 This is Peter Ratcliffe, forever Canadian. No doubt the elbows up type folks. Of course, Donald Trump has made Antifa in the United States a terrorist organization. 0.99
00:08:35.980 These are people who show up with masks and create chaos and hurt people and damage property. Listen to this. This is the
00:08:42.980 most important thing to do in the United States. This is the most important thing to do in the United States.
00:08:44.980 This is Peter Ratcliffe, forever Canadian. No doubt the elbows up type folks. Of course, Donald Trump has made Antifa in the United States a terrorist organization.
00:08:54.980 These are people who show up with masks and create chaos and hurt people and damage property. Listen to this. This is the mentality. This is the chasm, folks. This is the gap we've got in our country now. Read this. Antifa is not an organization. This is the narrative now.
00:09:13.980 Antifa is a philosophy, a way of life, an unstructured, unfunded search by individuals for lasting justice, peace, and freedom for every peaceful individual on our planet. So if you're declaring war on Antifa, you're without question a fascist. And I write, you are delusional. Do you think we can bridge this gap? And then we got this. I saw this this morning. Here's your energy minister. This is Tim Hodgson doing a video.
00:09:42.980 For Natural Resources Canada. Now he's the energy minister. So far, this man has not announced a single energy project in this country from what I know of. And that's what we're begging for here in Alberta.
00:09:55.980 What we need is we need projects to build things so we can become more prosperous. And people like this guy's going on about carbon management, building a pipe to put this crap under the ground. 0.96
00:10:07.980 And he produced a four-minute video on how we can't rely on trees to get rid of carbon dioxide. 0.96
00:10:13.980 Do you think there's any place we can find common ground with these nutcases?
00:10:18.980 I don't.
00:10:20.980 I don't. 1.00
00:10:24.980 And Danielle Smith is kissing the ass of people like Hodgson and Mark Carney. 1.00
00:10:29.980 God love her. 0.99
00:10:31.980 She's trying to do everything she can to make my province prosperous.
00:10:35.980 She's trying to make the country prosperous. 1.00
00:10:37.980 She knows what needs to be done. 1.00
00:10:39.980 Unfortunately, we keep electing the idiots in Ottawa and out east that hold this country back that make it the dumpster fire that I talked about a couple of days ago. 1.00
00:10:51.980 It's just so maddening. 1.00
00:10:54.980 Which brings me to something you need to be at.
00:10:59.980 That will get rid of this madness.
00:11:01.980 That will separate us from these nutcases who vote for this. 0.98
00:11:05.980 Don't forget, there's an independence rally coming up on October 25th at the Alberta legislature in Edmonton from 4 to 6 p.m.
00:11:14.980 You need to be there.
00:11:15.980 Now, I did a video yesterday on how there are some buses available.
00:11:19.980 Okay?
00:11:20.980 Not a lot of seats right now.
00:11:21.980 I don't know if more buses will be booked.
00:11:23.980 But there are some buses available leaving from different places in the province, including here in Calgary where I live.
00:11:28.980 If you want a seat, you're going to have to book it fast.
00:11:30.980 I'll put a link in the description so you can go there right now and book your seat to be there.
00:11:35.980 Now, if you're actually going there and you know somebody who hasn't got transportation, offer them a seat in your car.
00:11:42.980 If you've got some space because we need this to be a huge rally.
00:11:46.980 Thank you very much for watching.
00:11:48.980 Sorry for getting so emotional, but I've had it.
00:11:51.980 And the problem is I keep going back to this type of video because I can't believe the insanity of the left.
00:11:57.980 Thanks for watching.
00:11:59.980 I hope you appreciate it.
00:12:00.980 If you did, give it a thumbs up.
00:12:02.980 Help me get to 40,000 subscribers.
00:12:04.980 So subscribe to the channel.
00:12:05.980 Ring the bell for notifications.
00:12:07.980 I'm going to calm down now.
00:12:09.980 Get another big blue mug of coffee.
00:12:11.980 I'll see you in the next one.
00:12:12.980 I'll see you in the next one.
