00:00:00.000 hi i'm candace malcolm and this is the candace malcolm show thank you so much for tuning in
00:00:06.720 everybody we have a great episode for you now i just want to start by saying that canada is
00:00:13.040 in deep trouble okay so according to a recent abacus poll some 52 percent of canadians think
00:00:20.480 that prime minister mark carney is off to a good start they're optimistic about the future they
00:00:25.280 think that they can trust him and that he's going to turn things around and let me tell you folks
00:00:29.040 we need things to turn around because when you look at the data when you look at the numbers
00:00:33.760 i'm not going to sugarcoat it it's scary the numbers are scary and i am worried about the
00:00:38.560 future of this country so the media and the liberals have successfully memory hold justin trudeau you
00:00:44.800 never hear that guy's name anymore you never hear anything about him and the liberals and the media
00:00:50.400 have basically convinced canadians or at least 52 of them that the new liberals are very different
00:00:57.040 than the old liberals so the two have nothing to do with each other and nothing in common
00:01:01.600 but the economic reality the cultural reality remains that canada experienced a lost decade
00:01:08.480 under prime minister justin trudeau i can explain that in just one fact so our gdp per capita which
00:01:14.880 is basically the average income average out among canadians in 2013 the gdp per capita was 52 500.
00:01:23.760 and in 2023 the gdp per capita was 53 000. so we're talking about the bare number minimum growth and
00:01:32.480 then of course when you add inflation into that we'll talk about that in a minute inflation is
00:01:37.760 barreling out of control you can see that our country is in decline that canadians are poorer now
00:01:43.600 than they were a decade ago before canada elected prime minister justin trudeau for the first time
00:01:50.240 and so what did the liberals do to try to fix their failing economic record well they opened up the
00:01:55.200 floodgates and they let in as many people as possible as many people who are willing to come
00:01:59.840 to canada were welcomed with open arms and they let in millions of newcomers each and every year now
00:02:05.760 more people does mean more economic activity so yes on the surface it means that you can say that
00:02:11.440 the economy is growing because you have more people more bodies doing more work forget about culture
00:02:15.760 forget about community and integration unity peace any of those kind of things all the liberals cared
00:02:21.360 about was more bodies more jobs so that they could say that the economy was growing and that's why
00:02:27.120 the gdp per capita number is the more important one but the reality is that even with the increased
00:02:33.920 immigration the economics still didn't work so more people meant more dollars but we were also
00:02:39.200 experiencing rapid inflation because of runaway government spending runaway government debt the
00:02:45.360 printing of money and of course we still had the limited housing supply so more people fewer homes
00:02:51.120 just meant that people couldn't afford to live people couldn't afford to buy the homes that they
00:02:56.800 wanted and we've experienced that not just in big cities not just in vancouver and toronto but
00:03:01.280 literally all over the country i want to point your attention to this piece in the globe and mail written
00:03:08.880 on monday canada prepare for a decade of thrift and lower living standards another decade right we've
00:03:15.840 already experienced the lost decade under justin trudeau and now the globe and mail is warning us
00:03:20.800 that we are going to have another decade of thrift and lower living standards yes thanks again to these
00:03:27.440 liberal economic policies i'm going to read you a little bit from this globe and mail article because it is
00:03:33.440 really shocking it's depressing folks it's depressing what has happened to our country so this is written by
00:03:38.800 john turley uart who is special to the globe and mail he is an economic contributing columnist and a
00:03:45.280 history historian on canadian banking and this is what he writes we are poorer than we think canadians
00:03:51.760 running their retirement numbers are shining light in the dark corners of household finances in this
00:03:56.640 country the sums leave many anxious fearful and sad about their finances 52 of us worry about our personal
00:04:04.000 finances 50 percent feel frustrated 47 feel emotionally drained 43 percent feel depressed yes that is what
00:04:12.720 liberal economic policies do to canadians and so i want to kind of zero in on some more of the numbers
00:04:19.680 here it says our debt to household disposable income has bumped up nearly 200 for years now putting
00:04:26.240 canada in first place among g7 countries canada's is 185 percent the average for all the gdp g7 countries
00:04:35.040 is 125 percent according to statistics canada so canadian households collectively owe three trillion
00:04:43.120 dollars almost three quarters of it in mortgage debt so people are living beyond their means that is
00:04:49.920 obvious he writes that today's canadian dream is simply to make the next more mortgage payment without
00:04:56.880 having to borrow it the housing crisis hasn't just hobbled the hopes of many canadians seeking
00:05:01.520 affordable housing it is undercutting middle class living standards so earlier this year at a conference
00:05:07.840 with canadian bank ceos peter rutledge who leads canada's bank regulator alluded to the bleak
00:05:14.560 financial reality many canadians are facing he said that in 2025 and 2026 it will be challenging years
00:05:21.440 so as of september 2024 65 or 3.8 million mortgages are set to renew by the end of 26. so this is people
00:05:32.160 who had a five-year mortgage cycle they got locked in with low interest payments in the years after
00:05:38.080 covid and their mortgages are going to come up for renewal of course because the government has been
00:05:42.960 spending so much money printing so much money they've had to increase interest rates in order to just
00:05:48.960 stop the inflation or at least try to curb the inflation and so people are going to have to re
00:05:54.480 sign those mortgages with higher interest rates which means higher monthly payments so people are
00:05:59.920 going to get squeezed people are going to get squeezed it's going to get a lot worse he writes he
00:06:04.320 continues with higher mortgage payments layered atop elevating living costs that canadians have
00:06:09.920 endured over the past five years materially increasing the price of basic foods a basic
00:06:15.200 goods such as food there is less money to put aside for retirement using the bank of canada's inflation
00:06:20.960 calculator what cost 100 dollars in 2020 now costs 120 dollars so 20 inflation is just five years just
00:06:30.080 think about that if you had a hundred dollars in 2020 now just five years later what what would cost
00:06:35.280 a hundred dollars would now cost 120 dollars so yes we're going to have a decreased standard of living
00:06:42.800 because our money goes less far because we've spent so much and borrowed so much and then for anyone who
00:06:48.240 has a mortgage people who are lucky enough to already be in the housing market keep in mind that pretty
00:06:52.400 much anyone under 35 has basically been blocked out of the housing market people who are a bit older
00:06:58.000 people who are more you know financially ready to buy a house uh the cost of borrowing cost of servicing that
00:07:04.000 debt continues to go up so it just means less money to go around this this piece you know really does
00:07:11.040 paint a scary picture for a country it paints a picture of another 10 years where canadians will
00:07:17.440 just not be able to get ahead well things will slowly get worse and worse you know folks it reminds
00:07:22.000 me of this report that came out during the federal election this came out on april 7 black locks reporter
00:07:29.360 had this headline fed report predicts collapse okay the story was the privy council in a report quietly
00:07:36.880 released predicts canada in 15 years may be so dysfunctional that wage earners flee the country
00:07:44.480 and the poor resort to illegal hunting for food it's plausible said the report titled future lives social
00:07:51.680 mobility in question just to read a bit more from black lock social mobility predicted city dwellers who
00:07:57.440 remain and are affluent enough to own property will crowd into gated communities for protection against social
00:08:04.400 economic and political conflict in the wider community the poor would resort to illegal hunting
00:08:10.320 to feed themselves now remember there's a bit of a controversy around this report because black locks
00:08:14.720 reported it and then many other outlets the toronto sun the western standard and others report as
00:08:19.680 well to the point where the conservatives started talking about it because it was so shocking
00:08:23.840 the the the details of this report and then the liberals and the media went into overdrive to spin
00:08:29.680 and they claimed that this wasn't a government report this was just like a third party think tank that put
00:08:35.120 out like a thought piece and it really had nothing to do with the government folks just look at the
00:08:39.600 report itself okay let's let's go to the primary source here right future lives social mobility in question
00:08:46.160 look at the logo on the top of the page government of canada government of canada published by the
00:08:51.760 government of canada these are bureaucrats and they are predicting this reality that will happen in 15
00:08:58.880 years the globe and mail likewise is explaining how that will happen well sadly i mean this is what we
00:09:05.760 were reporting here at juno news this is why you have to support independent media that bleak dystopian
00:09:12.000 future is already here you know that report said that the poor would result it would resort to illegal
00:09:17.840 hunting to feed themselves well here you go in september 24 a viral bowmanville creek net fishing video
00:09:27.120 prompts conservation investigation the ministry of natural resources is investigating after a group of
00:09:32.880 men were discovered fishing with nets and bagging salmon found in bowmanville creek a salmon spawning
00:09:38.800 area and popular spot for a sport fishing in the township tiptock user justin newell posted a video
00:09:45.120 which now has over two million views exposing group of mostly men fishing with nets in the creek after
00:09:51.520 newman confronts them the men were seen throwing large fish into bags so yes that idea that you have
00:09:59.680 migrants who have different cultural backgrounds that want food they can't afford it they just go out
00:10:05.360 and you know hunt and and and poach animals regardless of you know whether it's a public park or whether
00:10:12.080 you know there's restrictions around uh when you can fish when you can hunt etc um it's happening it's
00:10:18.560 happening and it's not just that right we have other symbols that are happening canada soviet bread lines
00:10:23.920 like i this just never fails to just amaze me when you see this kind of activity in canada soviet bread
00:10:30.720 lines not for bread right in the soviet union they ration food so people had to line up to get their daily
00:10:36.560 bread in canada it's food banks it's people who donate money donate food to help the needy and look
00:10:43.440 at these lines look at the cues of people lining up in our country just to be able to get a free meal
00:10:50.400 so again true north reporting this toronto food bank see unprecedented demand surpassing the city's
00:10:56.640 population according to the daily bread food bank and north york harvest food banks annual whose hunger
00:11:02.320 report there were 3.5 million client visits in just toronto alone between april 1st 23 and march 31st 24.
00:11:12.560 the city's population is just over 3 million people and we have 3.5 million visits marks nearly a 1 million
00:11:20.240 person increase from the previous year and a 273 percent increase since before the pandemic five years
00:11:28.160 earlier and you know the the food line lines the cues for food banks isn't the only soviet bread lines
00:11:34.880 that we see in our country uh look at what happens when a company advertises just a basic level job
00:11:44.400 right service level jobs entry level jobs we've seen these pictures as well they've gone viral queues of
00:11:51.040 people lining up this one's for an lcbo the liquor control board of ontario look at the way these people
00:11:57.040 are behaving and just look at the numbers look at the numbers of people who are lining up for food
00:12:01.760 you go into reddit and you you can just find hundreds of these kinds of images people lining
00:12:07.760 up hundreds of thousands to work at a restaurant to work at a tim hortons to work in a warehouse
00:12:13.840 basic entry-level jobs this is what happens when you let millions of people into the country and they
00:12:18.800 are competing against young canadians teenagers right when i was when i was growing up people started
00:12:24.640 working when they were 15 16 years old you know whether it would be working at a restaurant or
00:12:29.040 like mowing lawns or anything people were working compared to now like teenagers just don't work the
00:12:34.320 same rate that they that they used to and it's not necessarily their fault they're competing against
00:12:39.360 people who have much more experience much more education coming from foreign countries who are much
00:12:44.560 more desperate and they're willing to work longer hours lower wages worse conditions it's really driving
00:12:50.080 them down final soviet era uh cues and bread lines that i want to show you this remember this story
00:12:57.840 we covered it on the show back in january but this is what it looks like when people have the opportunity
00:13:04.960 to get a family doctor one of the other crises facing our country is that you can't see a family
00:13:09.440 doctor if there's an emergency heaven forbid you have to go to the er expect to wait i don't know 10 12
00:13:15.280 hours to have help uh here we had this uh this is in walkerton ontario and a local doctor opened up
00:13:23.440 and said that they were taking new patients and look at the queue of people desperate standing in the
00:13:28.640 snow standing in frigid cold ontario winter weather just for the chance to get a family doctor there
00:13:36.160 are only 500 spots and look at this headline the cbc we're seeing a hunger games across ontario hundreds
00:13:43.360 in this town line up for the chance to have a family doctor not too long ago that was considered
00:13:50.800 kind of like a basic right of like everybody got one everybody had access to a family doctor canadians
00:13:56.800 who go around bragging about our government health care our universal health care thinking that it's
00:14:01.520 some kind of prize i mean the reality of it is that there's just not enough to go around it's what
00:14:07.120 happens when you ration things right it's just like the soviet era bread lines people waiting in line
00:14:12.480 just to have a family doctor really in a country like canada one of the wealthiest countries in
00:14:18.000 the world we should have a family doctor you shouldn't have to wait in negative 20 degree
00:14:22.400 weather and just hope for the chance that you get a spot it is unbelievable and again just to point this
00:14:29.200 out overall unemployment rate for youth so you know i mentioned when i was a teenager i worked at a fish
00:14:34.160 and chips stand i was uh you know selling fish and chips out of out of a little stand when i was 17
00:14:40.960 and that was great it was my first job it gave me experience to get more well today the youth
00:14:45.520 unemployment for age 15 to 24 rose to 13.5 in june and that's only of people who are actively looking
00:14:51.840 for a job so if you're in university and you're not looking for a job you don't get counted in that
00:14:56.640 basically it's going up it's up two percent uh from last year and on top of that right we have these
00:15:03.440 problems all of these problems that i'm outlining and lo and behold this story comes out in the
00:15:07.840 toronto star a few days ago canada sets a record for the number of refugee claims these numbers
00:15:15.120 were shocking to me like i used to work in the ministry of immigration i was press secretary to
00:15:20.240 the minister of immigration back in the harper government and just how much the numbers have
00:15:25.200 changed i'm going to lay it out for you so last year canada received a record 174
00:15:31.200 000 new refugee claims of the 3.1 million global refugees in the world 174 000 of them are coming
00:15:40.240 to canada canada's the second largest resettlement country globally welcoming 49 000 refugees so 49 000
00:15:47.680 through official refugee channels coming from united nation camps and being sponsored sometimes through
00:15:53.360 families sometimes through churches and sometimes through the government 49 000 is a huge number folks
00:15:58.560 that is leaps and bounds higher than we used to is incredibly generous for canada to welcome that
00:16:05.440 many people because the data shows us that refugees don't tend to have the same kind of economic
00:16:12.240 advancements and achievements as other immigrants right when you welcome in a refugee you kind of
00:16:16.800 assume that they will forever be a refugee they'll forever at least be receiving more in benefits than
00:16:24.800 they pay in taxes i'll put it that way but then on top of that 50 000 that we let in through the united
00:16:31.280 nations according to the government department ircc canada also had 171 000 refugee claims so people who
00:16:43.440 come to canada throw up their hands and say i'm a refugee i can't go home and so canada has to accept them
00:16:50.640 and process them and they go through a whole system where a judge determines whether or not they're a
00:16:55.440 true refugee they find ways to game the system they find ways to stay longer and longer the vast majority
00:17:01.120 of those people never leave they just continue to drag on their welcome and they basically just take
00:17:07.920 advantage of our system i just want to compare this folks to what it looked like under the harper
00:17:13.600 government and what it used to look like what a sane immigration program would look like right so here
00:17:18.640 is the numbers between 2011 and 2016. i worked in the government in 2011 and 2012 and so you can see
00:17:26.640 we we took we undertook serious changes to stop the abuse of people coming to canada and claiming that
00:17:33.600 they are refugees and so just the bottom line here in 2011 we had 25 000 claims in 2012 it was 20 000 and
00:17:40.960 then because of the reforms that happened while i was there we had got the number down to 10 000. so we had
00:17:46.880 10 000 in 2013 there were 10 000 refugee claims compare that to 171 000 in 2024 that's 17 times
00:17:57.440 that's 17 times more people coming to canada why because the trudeau government basically got rid of
00:18:02.640 all of the requirements that would stop this kind of behavior right we used to have visas from countries
00:18:07.680 that were bad offenders when it came to people coming and claiming refugee status like countries like
00:18:12.240 mexico and the trudeau government eliminated the visa for people from mexico so anyone can come
00:18:18.000 there were all kinds of things like just making sure that for instance a person has a return flight
00:18:22.000 making sure that they have some money in the bank account basic checks and balances to protect our
00:18:25.600 country protect our system trudeau government did away with them and lo and behold a 17 times increase
00:18:32.720 in the number of people claiming asylum and you know that these people get basically gold-plated welfare
00:18:38.800 they basically get better welfare services above and beyond what canadians get they get money in
00:18:44.160 the mail mail mail checks every every month they get better health care they get access to dental
00:18:49.440 care they get all kinds of perks that you and i don't so i was glad actually this is a bit of a
00:18:54.160 tangent but i want to point this out earlier this week alberta premier danielle smith announced that
00:18:59.760 she was going to basically be surveying the people of alberta asking them a series of questions
00:19:06.000 it's called the alberta next panel and one of the questions was on immigration and on refugees and
00:19:11.680 the question was should the province withhold social services for immigrants so if alberta isn't
00:19:18.400 satisfied with the number or kind of newcomers moving to our province we may have the option to withhold
00:19:23.840 provincial social programs to any non-citizen or non-permanent resident who does not have an alberta
00:19:30.640 approved immigration status that's a step in the right direction right we have to have safeguards we have
00:19:35.840 to have checks and balances we have to stop people who are just trying to take advantage of our
00:19:40.560 generosity who are only in canada because they want to be on the dole they want taxpayers to provide
00:19:46.080 them with a cushy life that's not the point right you can come to canada you can work hard and you can
00:19:50.560 join the canadian middle class join the canadian dream coming here to just take advantage of our
00:19:54.560 system get paid in different various benefits and try to cheat and try to undermine the rules that
00:20:00.240 doesn't work and canadians need to get smart and get serious about it otherwise our country will just
00:20:05.280 continue to decline and so you know i talked about at the beginning the globe and mail story about
00:20:11.360 just how people's personal finances are getting tighter and tighter people are in a great deal of
00:20:16.480 debt well i think that the the population canadians you know not being necessarily fiscally responsible
00:20:22.880 they're taking cues from their government right so again the legacy media and the liberal party are
00:20:27.840 trying to memory hole justin trudeau but his legacy remains okay this is from the fraser institute a
00:20:33.760 report that they did justin trudeau's legacy was distinguished by unprecedented levels of
00:20:39.360 government spending the numbers don't lie from 2018 to 2023 justin trudeau recorded the sixth
00:20:45.360 highest level of spending in canadian history even after excluding emergency spending during the
00:20:51.520 pandemic so for context this means the trudeau government spent more per person during those
00:20:55.920 six years than the federal government did at any other time during the great depression during the
00:20:59.920 great during the two world wars during the height of the global financial crisis in 2008 2009 unsurprisingly
00:21:05.840 the trudeau government was unable to balance the budget during any of his nine years in power for
00:21:11.200 first being elected in 2015 trudeau of course infamously promised to run modest deficits he said he
00:21:16.720 would balance the budget by 2019 instead he ran nine consecutive deficits including an astonishing
00:21:23.920 61.9 billion dollar deficit in the 23 24 fiscal year the largest deficit any year outside of cover
00:21:30.880 the result what do you expect historically high levels of government debt so look at this this is
00:21:36.320 debtclock.com they have the debt clock canada's federal debt currently sits at 1.26 trillion dollars
00:21:43.440 your share of that is thirty thousand dollars not just your share thirty thousand dollars for you
00:21:48.240 thirty thousand dollars for your spouse thirty thousand dollars for each of your children right
00:21:52.560 this is how much we owe in government debt just for reference this this table went a little viral
00:21:58.560 during the election you've probably seen it before all the total federal debt of all prime ministers
00:22:04.560 so every other prime minister in canadian history managed to rack up a combined 63 billion dollars
00:22:10.720 sorry 634 billion dollars and justin trudeau himself 659 billion dollars what an absolute disgrace and so
00:22:20.160 you know for the liberals who say you know carney's different is a change 52 percent of canadians say
00:22:25.040 that they're optimistic with the direction of the country what has mark carney done right first of
00:22:30.080 all he refuses to introduce a budget we don't so we don't know exactly where his money is going but
00:22:35.360 even when he's out there right today he's doing a photo op uh with nato and he's out there you know
00:22:40.000 championing uh canada's new alignment with european union and look at this headline national post nato
00:22:46.640 to take a quantum leap with five percent military target spending so yes mark carney has announced
00:22:54.800 that he will up canada's defense spending up to five percent right we were struggling to get to two
00:22:59.760 percent that's the basic requirement they're supposed to have canada's historically never made it that
00:23:04.000 far like we were down at like 1.2 look i'm for funding a military i'm for spending the money on that
00:23:09.600 one of the few things that the federal government should do is keep our territory secure keep us
00:23:14.480 safe including from rampant immigration and people coming to take advantage of our generosity but also
00:23:20.160 through defense yes our military desperately needs an upgrade and we need more spending but the thing
00:23:24.960 i worry about with these liberals is the way that they'll define the spending that what the things
00:23:29.520 that they'll include the kind of pork and barrel spending that we will see the inevitable green schemes
00:23:34.640 that benefit liberal insiders it's all the same we've seen this we've seen this movie before and
00:23:39.840 here it is it's just giving the liberal social license to just spend even more money out of
00:23:44.800 control so an interview with cnn and their host christine m poor mark carney said that nato's new
00:23:50.800 defense spending target could cost canada up to 150 billion dollars a year of course we don't have the
00:23:57.520 economic growth to support that so where's that money going to come from well they're just going to
00:24:01.040 borrow it liberals have no problem with borrowing to leverage our future let's play a clip of prime
00:24:06.160 minister mark carney saying that let's take the five percent of of gdp figure which is a big huge
00:24:12.480 big number um how much is it actually for you uh five percent of our gdp would be about 150 billion
00:24:18.560 dollars i mean that's a lot it's a lot of it's a lot of number per year per year that's a lot of
00:24:23.360 course it's it means that that's something you can't give to your own citizens well okay let's start
00:24:28.480 to let's start to let's start to break it down so part of it um a little more a little less than a
00:24:35.200 third of that overall number is spending on things that quite frankly we're already doing uh to build
00:24:42.400 the resilience of our economy so he's basically admitting that you know it's stuff that we're
00:24:47.280 already doing we're just going to start counting it under nato spending and under defense spending
00:24:52.560 it's all just uh you trick accounting tricks um mark carney the global banker uh that's his
00:24:58.880 specialty right and so again right kind of laughing away the fact that you're not spending money on
00:25:03.360 your own citizens you're spending it on other things this is more like justin trudeau this is
00:25:08.400 more justin trudeau-esque and i want to uh breeze around and talk about our friends over the canadian
00:25:13.120 taxpayers federation have an annual award ceremony called the teddies and the teddies is the waste award
00:25:19.680 where they highlight the absolute worst examples of governments just recklessly wasting taxpayer
00:25:25.760 dollars they interestingly gave a lifetime achievement award to justin trudeau i'm sure
00:25:31.040 that franco is going to cover this but i just want to point this out justin trudeau added 99 000
00:25:36.160 extra bureaucrats he billed taxpayers six thousand dollars a night for a hotel suite in england they spent
00:25:41.680 six figures on airplane food after the government promised to cut those costs that was justin trudeau's
00:25:46.720 legacy and it looks like we have someone else following in his footsteps with mark carney but
00:25:52.800 i'm gonna send it over to franco terrezzino who's going to walk us through some of the highlights of
00:26:00.640 that teddy waste award over to you franco well the canadian taxpayers federation held our annual teddy
00:26:06.560 waste awards where we give out big golden pig-shaped trophies to the worst waste offenders in all levels
00:26:13.920 of government and of course we had our mascot porky porky the waste hater with us you know this big
00:26:20.480 old pig and he was there to help me uh hand out these golden pig-shaped trophies to the politicians
00:26:26.080 and bureaucrats who are wasting your money so let's go over some of the highlights here uh the municipal
00:26:31.040 government winner for waste was the city of calgary so the city of calgary spent 65 000 on this art
00:26:39.120 project uh that allows people to call the bow river yeah you heard that right the city of calgary spent
00:26:45.600 65 grand so that when people called a 1-800 number they could talk to the bow river el river so here's
00:26:52.880 what i think the phone conversation would go like okay something like this hello you've reached the bow
00:26:57.920 river i can't take your call right now because i'm a river please leave a message after the sound of your
00:27:03.120 tax dollars being flushed down the drain well folks i guess there is one silver lining it's now
00:27:08.560 easier to get a hold of a river than the cra our provincial government waste winner was new brunswick
00:27:16.560 so new brunswick spent 77 000 on an eight-day trip to europe to get europeans to visit the province
00:27:23.760 because hey why go to the roman coliseum when you go when you can go to the monkton coliseum but you
00:27:29.760 know the craziest part of this is that the ads that were used to promote tourism in new brunswick
00:27:34.560 were just full of wrong information so one ad went along like this okay one ad said hey come to
00:27:40.800 saint john the provincial capital well saint john is not the capital of new brunswick fredericton is
00:27:47.840 another ad was relax before you your flight to saint john new brunswick's largest city well uh saint
00:27:54.800 john is not the largest city monkton is another ad was like check out the martello tower well that
00:28:02.000 sounds nice but the tower has been closed for nine years another ad suggests visiting the new brunswick
00:28:08.640 museum well the museum has been closed for two years another ad also suggests taking the family to
00:28:15.120 the cherry brook zoo the zoo had been closed for five years so you know what their tourism ad should
00:28:21.440 have been hey it should have been check out new brunswick we don't know where anything is and
00:28:25.600 everything is closed and let's move on to the federal government waste winner and that was global affairs
00:28:32.720 canada and that's because they're spending 51 000 a month on alcohol right 51 grand a month on alcohol
00:28:41.280 so they're wasting money faster than taxpayers can say bottoms up but remember folks like this is the
00:28:48.240 same department global affairs canada that spent 1700 on a musical about lesbian pirates they spent 8 800
00:28:56.240 bucks on a sex toy show in germany uh titled whose is this crazy and like hey maybe i'm a little old
00:29:04.640 fashioned but if the germans want to have a sex toy show they should pay for it themselves not with
00:29:10.080 canadian taxpayers money and of course uh global affairs was also the same department that spent twelve
00:29:16.320 thousand dollars on a show where senior citizens in other countries wanted to talked about their
00:29:21.440 sex lives in front of live audiences like crazy right and these aren't even canadian seniors the
00:29:28.320 government was outsourcing old people sex stories so let's recap global affairs spent 1700 on a lesbian
00:29:35.840 pirate musical they spent 8 800 bucks on a sex toy show in germany and they spent 12 grand on a show where
00:29:42.400 seniors in other countries talked about their sex lives in front of live audiences well how did all this
00:29:47.920 spending get approved it must have been the 51 000 a month on booze and then finally we also had a very
00:29:56.080 special lifetime achievement award for waste and this year's winner very well deserved we may never see another
00:30:03.360 one like him the wayne gretzky of waste justin trudeau and you know of course trudeau won the lifetime
00:30:10.240 achievement award for waste i mean he doubled the debt in less than a decade he ballooned the bureaucracy
00:30:16.240 you're now paying for 99 000 more federal bureaucrats today than you were 10 years ago but then remember
00:30:22.000 the crazy examples of government waste right it was trudeau who stayed in the six thousand dollar per night hotel
00:30:28.560 suite in london england right it was trudeau who doubled the governor general's outrageous airplane
00:30:34.960 food tab when he spent two hundred and twenty thousand dollars on airplane food him and his
00:30:40.800 entourage during his six-day trip uh to the indo-pacific region and like remember too it was trudeau uh who
00:30:48.320 who billed taxpayers for sixty one thousand dollars in manhattan hotel rooms during a two-day star-studded
00:30:55.280 um conference now what was that conference about fighting poverty okay so uh you know how how was
00:31:04.320 trudeau's what was trudeau's solution to fighting poverty well the only way he knew how was selfies
00:31:10.080 room service and a big bill for taxpayers so you know because he doubled the debt because he ballooned
00:31:16.320 the bureaucracy and because he was the goat of government waste justin trudeau is a very very worthy
00:31:23.120 recipient of the lifetime achievement award for waste and you know if you want to learn more about
00:31:28.480 all the winners or all the government nominees for the teddy waste awards uh you can find that all
00:31:34.160 at taxpayer.com thank you franco now yes it is good to poke fun at these politicians and these
00:31:41.040 bureaucrats for wasting our money and being just so ridiculously irresponsible but the sad reality is that
00:31:47.120 we're living in an era where governments live beyond their means they borrow and leverage our future
00:31:51.840 and citizens are following suit and they're likewise failing to be fiscally responsible
00:31:56.400 because they just can't keep up with the cost of living inflation the cost of housing everything
00:32:02.400 combined is making it so our dollars go less far and we are poorer and poorer than we were a decade ago
00:32:09.280 or than our parents were when they were our age or grandparents we're heading in the wrong direction
00:32:13.680 folks and this the result is just crushing debt anemic growth diminishing standards of living and yes
00:32:20.080 our country is heading in the wrong direction the 52 percent of canadians that are optimistic about
00:32:24.320 the future i think they're just not paying attention i think that they're not looking
00:32:27.760 closely enough because when you look at it and you when you examine what's going on
00:32:30.800 it looks pretty scary all right folks thanks so much for watching we'll be back again tomorrow
