00:00:00.000 I would put these people in jail for life, make an example out of them, to show people in this
00:00:07.180 country that crimes like this are unacceptable, intolerable, and that justice will be served.
00:00:14.220 This country should be doing everything it can to make you want to stay here, to give you every
00:00:19.640 opportunity that you deserve. But instead, that's not the case anymore. This is unacceptable.
00:00:23.980 this is not canada i don't know what this mess is and shame on anybody that votes for this
00:00:30.580 continued destruction when did we decide that what we see with our own eyes no longer counts
00:00:39.500 because every week on this channel i show you the same thing violence real violence ordinary
00:00:45.540 canadians being attacked robbed beaten killed and every week the people in charge tell us to calm
00:00:51.340 down. This is not the wild west. Don't generalize. Don't overreact. It's not as bad as it feels,
00:00:57.320 but it is as bad as it feels. It's actually even worse. This past week, I covered story after
00:01:02.980 story and they all share one rotten thread. The crime is monstrous and the consequences
00:01:08.500 are a slap on the wrist. We have built a country where the punishment almost never matches the
00:01:13.600 horror, where a violent offender is back on the streets before the victim's family has even
00:01:18.180 finished grieving. Where is this accountability has become the word that politicians say,
00:01:23.300 but they never have to actually deliver it. And Canadians are tired. I'm tired. I have too many
00:01:28.340 gray hairs. Why? Why are we not angry in this abstract in the online way? We're actually tired
00:01:34.240 to our bones because we're doing everything right. We're trying to work hard, raise our families.
00:01:39.540 Meanwhile, they're locking doors and that still isn't enough. We're battering down the hatches
00:01:44.000 and it's still not enough. So tonight I want to start with a recap on a story that I think
00:01:47.600 should move every single one of you. A couple in their 70s, Arnold and Joanne de Jong, married,
00:01:52.740 retired, living quietly in Abbotsford, BC, the kind of couple that built everything that we stand
00:01:57.980 for in this country and asked nothing for return. They let workers into their home, a cleaning crew
00:02:02.240 that they trusted. And one of the men just landed in Canada on a student visa less than a month
00:02:08.100 earlier. And what those men did to this elderly couple is so brutal. You are going to watch this
00:02:13.760 video they were all convicted of first degree murder and now their lawyers are in court arguing
00:02:19.860 a constitutional challenge that would let them seek out early parole you tell me does this crime
00:02:27.480 match the fact that they want an early parole to get out in 15 years play this clip this is pure
00:02:35.100 evil this video seems innocuous abhijit singh and kushvir tour filming themselves cleaning the home
00:02:41.920 of their soon-to-be victims one month later the two men returned with their roommate
00:02:46.620 gurkran thing arnold de young and joanne de young were in their bedrooms
00:02:50.760 where they were viciously murdered and wrong they were bound like chickens my parents had um
00:02:57.080 had died the way that they did and just the torturous way that they had taken them away
00:03:01.980 they sliced your throat with the screwdriver 0.99
00:03:04.280 Beat them with a bat 1.00
00:03:07.660 Fake international students 0.99
00:03:34.280 whenever there are multiple murder victims i'm sure our parents begged for mercy the 0.93
00:03:39.560 irony of a faint hope clause in which they can get released from jail possibly after 15 years
00:03:46.360 this is so wrong just to us it's like opening a can of worms for any person that is coming to 0.54
00:03:53.160 canada and if they commit a crime they can get off spot free the dion's daughters anguished at
00:03:59.240 the ongoing delays and the chance the killers could spend less time behind bars. The third
00:04:05.680 convicted killer, Gurkaran Singh, was not yet in Canada. The court heard he later arrived on a
00:04:12.000 student visa but never attended class. Apparently they're to go to school, never showed up for
00:04:18.180 school, had Immigration Canada done their job and looked into them not going to school. Would this
00:04:24.620 have happened? I don't think so. Our country needs to be more stringent in tracking individuals who
00:04:30.520 come into our country. We see this with extortion. We see this with my parents' case. And unless
00:04:35.100 something's done at a federal level, this is just going to keep continuing. Gangs are relying on
00:04:40.420 so-called foot soldiers to commit extortions. They're typically financially vulnerable young
00:04:46.120 men from India on study permits. We have a gang that has identified a loophole and that is making
00:04:51.100 its way in we have allowed these criminals in our country on mass if immigration canada were
00:04:56.920 stricter would their parents be alive they would have been kicked out of canada they would not
00:05:02.700 have been here the crimes wouldn't have been committed does what world do we live in we're
00:05:12.020 in a country people come in and abuse the system supposed students they build trust as cleaners
00:05:19.120 and brutally kill let's be very clear about the real facts here they bound them like roast
00:05:25.360 chickens that you would find at costco in separate rooms they sliced her throat with a screwdriver
00:05:31.540 beat her with a bat they suffocated him to death as they were bound what did they do this for to
00:05:38.460 pay off credit cards to steal a pressure washer this type of insanity these type of crimes are
00:05:45.620 so sick you would not wish this upon your worst enemies these people and in my humble opinion i
00:05:52.740 think if you speak to 100 canadians on the street they will tell you these people should be locked
00:05:57.060 in life for jail with no chance of parole and here we are with our justice system that allows
00:06:03.220 them to file an application to potentially get out on parole after 15 years these three need to be
00:06:11.540 and their best case scenario.
00:06:14.220 Look, I have never personally considered
00:06:16.240 the death penalty before,
00:06:17.920 but this is a perfect case.
00:06:19.780 If someone wants to argue for a death penalty,
00:06:22.300 you have a strong case arguing for a death penalty.
00:06:25.500 In my humble opinion,
00:06:27.420 you actually don't want to do that.
00:06:29.060 I feel like that is too easy.
00:06:30.720 I feel it's not actually proper denunciation.
00:06:33.760 I would put these people in jail for life,
00:06:36.740 make an example out of them
00:06:38.300 to show people in this country
00:06:41.100 that crimes like this are unacceptable,
00:06:44.560 untolerable, and that justice will be served.
00:06:47.800 The fact that we even have to have a conversation,
00:06:50.360 the fact that you even have a path
00:06:52.200 to look for an early parole is sick.
00:06:54.920 They brutally murdered two innocent people
00:06:57.800 in a way you wouldn't ever do it to your worst enemies.
00:07:02.340 Not only their lives have been destroyed,
00:07:04.500 but their family's lives have been destroyed.
00:07:06.580 And this is the problem with this government today.
00:07:08.480 not only have they created the conditions, allowed the conditions to happen where we have
00:07:14.260 these type of violent crimes happening because we don't vet people. This is a breakdown. These
00:07:20.200 were students that came to study. They never went to school. We've allowed millions of people into
00:07:26.500 this country, this liberal government, and they have said this publicly with no background checks,
00:07:32.620 no vetting. We have allowed the world's criminals into this country. The RCMP have stated, 0.97
00:07:37.940 organized crime gangs representing over 70 countries have doubled in the last five years
00:07:43.460 from 2000 to 4000. This is what we've allowed to happen in our communities. We have put public
00:07:50.040 safety under the rug for the profits of this liberal government and their corporate benefactors
00:07:56.820 and their friends. Because once again, they flooded this country with people from specifically India 1.00
00:08:03.560 to bolster gross GDP. 1.00
00:08:05.640 And now we're in a recession because of it
00:08:06.960 while we sacrifice the safety of our communities,
00:08:09.520 our families, and our children.
00:08:10.900 And this, you could say they do all of this stuff, right?
00:08:13.660 Let's say they screwed the pooch on it all, 0.92
00:08:15.580 or they purposely did it, which we know that they did.
00:08:18.520 They could at least hold these criminals accountable.
00:08:22.080 They could at least properly put consequences in place
00:08:24.740 to protect our families and children.
00:08:26.340 But no, they constantly allow these monsters
00:08:30.280 to get away with it without the proper punishment
00:08:33.640 for these type of heinous crimes.
00:08:35.580 Look at this other story.
00:08:37.100 It's gonna blow your mind.
00:08:38.100 Again, in British Columbia, look at this story.
00:08:41.660 Is this not enough to tell you
00:08:43.040 we have a problem in this country?
00:08:44.960 Is this not enough to tell you 0.99
00:08:46.340 that we have to slap the people in the face? 0.98
00:08:49.280 Honestly, they gotta wake up. 0.97
00:08:51.000 The people that run this country,
00:08:52.400 that run this government, they've had 10 years in power.
00:08:56.500 Liberal and NDP policies have allowed this to happen.
00:09:00.900 My question is to you, the viewer.
00:09:02.720 Do you want this in your community?
00:09:04.760 This is what our existing government has allowed to happen under their watch for a decade.
00:09:10.120 Play this clip.
00:09:11.500 Ten years under the liberals.
00:09:13.760 This is what we get in Canada. 1.00
00:09:15.660 No, no, fuck this way. 1.00
00:09:17.640 Drink, bitch. 1.00
00:09:18.480 Stop, fuck this. 1.00
00:09:19.380 This is a warning. 1.00
00:09:20.400 a repeat violent criminal and child sex offender is now free on our street of course his name is
00:09:28.100 nathan singh khan born in 1995 this man was just found guilty again for assaulting a condo resident
00:09:36.700 near the alder bridge temporary modular housing here in richmond over the last few years this
00:09:44.060 man has faced numerous charges from theft to weapons what are we doing in this country and
00:09:50.460 child sex crimes these include one making or publishing child sexual and he's out two sexual
00:10:00.680 interference of a person under 16 three benefiting from the sexual services of a person under 18 0.90
00:10:07.960 and for importing or distributing child suicidal empathy in this country despite this disgusting
00:10:15.500 history this man continues to be seen around the modular housing drug site on alder bridge way
00:10:23.920 where he continues to damage property expose himself set fires and attack people this man
00:10:32.320 is now under a probation order not to enter this neighborhood but do you think he follows that
00:10:38.160 order no just shortly after his release he was arrested here and set free again the very next
00:10:46.160 day so if you see him i need you to stay alert and keep your families away i question do these people
00:10:56.640 that run this country not have children i have a three-year-old daughter and i can't tell you on
00:11:03.440 this video or it will get demonetized and struck down what i would do to somebody that took
00:11:08.040 advantage of my little girl and i think as every parent in this country we have a responsibility
00:11:12.560 to protect our children from these monsters that's exactly what these people are of course
00:11:18.600 canadians are upset of course i am visibly upset i built a following of over 500 000 people from
00:11:24.700 coast to coast, 150 million people watch my videos every day. Why? Because they resonate
00:11:30.060 with the feeling that I have. I started making these videos and talking about this because I
00:11:34.640 walked out of my door one day and I said, I can't leave my daughter, this country of what has become
00:11:41.240 this mess anymore. I have to go put my face out there and go speak to this with countless of
00:11:46.820 others because this is unacceptable. This is not Canada. I don't know what this mess is and shame
00:11:52.960 on anybody that votes for this continued destruction and i want to be very clear here i i hate making
00:11:59.520 this partisan because that's like you do have to hold the government accountable it's the liberal
00:12:06.080 party and the ndp who have supported them but my ask to canadians regardless of your political
00:12:11.600 stripes do you not have children do you not care about our children why do we allow repeat violent
00:12:17.920 offenders who have sexually exploited our little ones, our little girls, out back on the street
00:12:23.340 repeatedly again. Does it need to happen to you for you to understand what it means? I seriously
00:12:30.380 question the people that do not hold their MPs accountable. I question why we have this suicidal
00:12:35.980 empathy for people. I understand, by the way, like everybody else, we want to rehabilitate people.
00:12:42.580 We want to support people. Of course we do. We need to invest in our mental institutions.
00:12:47.920 We need to invest more in supportive care, in rehabilitation.
00:12:51.800 But that cannot come with opening up our children to the risks of these people
00:12:57.220 that need to be either in supervised detention centers or in jail.
00:13:01.400 It is unbelievable to me that we continue to let this happen.
00:13:05.960 I beg, people. I beg, Canadians.
00:13:09.280 If you even vote liberal or NDP, hold your MPs accountable.
00:13:13.240 You're a human being.
00:13:15.220 You're a father. You're a mother.
00:13:17.920 Protect our children. We've had enough. This is nonsense to see this happen over and over again.
00:13:24.280 What we're asking for is not hard. What we're asking for is common sense. We're asking for
00:13:29.840 our government, who represents the taxpayers, to protect our children against monsters.
00:13:37.020 What would you classify this person as? I classify people that take advantage of our children and
00:13:43.100 sexually exploit them as monsters. That's what they are. Do you want them around your children? 0.97
00:13:49.920 The people that support these measures, I wonder what they would do if they were living beside
00:13:53.120 these people or housing these people. I think their tune would change. And it makes me sick
00:13:57.600 to my stomach because, again, I've been covering these stories for five years now. If you go on
00:14:02.760 my pages, you'll find literally copy and paste stories of this happening over and over again.
00:14:09.660 And I beg to the human beings, Canadians, that continue to support this government, support them in other policies.
00:14:18.600 Sure, I don't care. Honestly, if you want to go send 10 more billion dollars to Ukraine, do it.
00:14:25.400 If you want to go spend another 20 million dollars on gender neutral rights in Vietnam, do it.
00:14:31.480 But can we at least agree you can go screw up everything else, but can we not protect our children? 0.90
00:14:38.140 Can we not safeguard our communities against monsters?
00:14:42.060 That is what Canadians are asking for at the bare minimum.
00:14:46.240 The foundation of this country has broken.
00:14:49.340 We need to build that foundation and we can worry about every other problem,
00:14:52.760 but we will not stop fighting.
00:14:55.080 We will not stop being vocal to protect the most innocent people that we have
00:14:59.480 in this country, which is our children.
00:15:01.220 Makes me absolutely sick.
00:15:03.180 And we talk about all of these policies and what's happening every day
00:15:06.320 and the lack of accountability.
00:15:08.140 And this is what it comes down to. It's lack of accountability. And I've mentioned this in a
00:15:12.940 previous video. When it starts at the top, when it starts at the tone that the federal government
00:15:18.240 sets, it trickles down to every facet of our life. It trickles down to provincial politics.
00:15:23.940 It trickles down into our cities and municipalities. It trickles down into what
00:15:28.040 happens to our schools. That lack of accountability trickles down everywhere. And I'm going to talk
00:15:32.640 to you about something that is probably the worst kept secret in all of Ontario right now. I could
00:15:38.720 not believe this story. When we talk about accountability and holding people accountable,
00:15:42.800 I could not believe when I reported on this story, I'm going to watch you play this clip
00:15:47.480 about what is happening in the medical field, in our healthcare system in Ontario.
00:15:53.020 That will shock you. I promise you, you will not believe this is true, but I promise you personally,
00:15:59.460 I vetted this multiple times with many doctors what you're about to hear is facts play this clip
00:16:07.440 I cannot believe nobody else is talking about this what if I told you in Ontario
00:16:12.000 when you go in to a walk-in clinic you go visit your doctor's office the person that you are
00:16:17.520 getting advice from that is helping you whether that's giving you incisions whether that's making
00:16:22.160 a pop smear on you whether that's giving you any type of help is not actually accredited there's
00:16:27.720 no third party governing council or body that actually validates their credentials but if i
00:16:33.040 told you it's a single person a doctor that needs to validate that clinical assistance credentials
00:16:38.500 and qualifications and that's that that is what is happening only in ontario unlike any other
00:16:44.660 province today i have spoken to five different doctors and i have an inside familiar source
00:16:50.440 that tells me that this is 100 happening and is a fact i didn't even believe it i didn't believe
00:16:55.760 my trusted source so i went out and reached out to a variety of other doctors and they tell me
00:16:59.860 that this is the truth this is a huge public safety risk some of these doctors will hire up
00:17:04.780 to 20 clinical assistants okay that they pay twenty dollars an hour where do they find these
00:17:10.960 people these are typically sometimes international doctors that don't want to go through the
00:17:16.320 stringent licensing and transfer protocol to actually be a physician in this country so what
00:17:21.220 do they do they go ahead and some of them will even work for free they will be hired on for
00:17:25.420 $20 an hour while these physicians charge up to $80 an hour for OHIP and you have no way to know
00:17:31.940 that that person in front of you is actually accredited and can do their job effectively
00:17:36.060 because there's no third party governing body or council that validates their credentials work
00:17:40.040 experience and their actual capability which is mind-boggling and crazy and so these doctors are
00:17:45.640 blowing the whistle to me and saying Sondren in my clinic in Ontario I can't name the specific
00:17:50.880 location but of the 20 people there he says 18 of them would be totally unqualified to see people
00:17:58.240 it is a public safety risk what is happening is is that these doctors are using a loophole in the
00:18:03.840 system where these are technically not physician assistants these are clinical assistants and they
00:18:09.920 are being used to basically do everything that the doctor would do everything that a physician
00:18:14.960 assistant would do but they pay them only 20 an hour some of these clinical assistants will work
00:18:21.600 for free just to get the experience this is crazy and it's only in ontario that is happening every
00:18:28.400 other province in the country has some sort of third party governing body that validates the
00:18:33.600 credentials of the people that administer and see patients but in ontario that does not exist
00:18:38.960 and this is the crazy part about this all five doctors have told me they could hire me as a
00:18:42.960 a clinical assistant to go see patients perform incisions to do pap smears pay me $20 an hour
00:18:48.520 they charge oh hip $80 an hour and pocket the rest they are saying that this is not happening
00:18:53.400 on mass but they're saying it's being exploited people are abusing the system not all doctors
00:18:58.920 are doing it and because there's not a third party body that validates my credentials and
00:19:03.440 capabilities it is a public safety risk i i couldn't believe this when i talked to my trusted
00:19:09.940 source, who by the way, is a trusted source I've known for a long time, that trusted source is a
00:19:14.620 doctor in Ontario. And he told me this, I didn't believe him at first, I said, you must, even though
00:19:20.400 you're a doctor, I don't believe you. Because Canadians, when they walk into a clinic, they 1.00
00:19:25.720 walk into a doctor's office, the assumption is that whoever I am seeing behind that door, that's 0.97
00:19:32.120 talking to me about my issues, that's giving me incisions, that's doing my pap smear, that's
00:19:37.340 prescribing me drugs, that they have been vetted by some third party, some governing body. But
00:19:44.340 that is not the case. There is a loophole that is happening right now. I can't believe this is not
00:19:48.920 on major news everywhere. And I went and I confirmed this with five other doctors because
00:19:54.360 I couldn't believe it. I confirmed with five other doctors what is happening. Doctors, actual
00:20:01.320 physicians are hiring clinical assistants. Okay. These are different. You have doctors,
00:20:08.020 you have physician assistants who have to be accredited and the body validates their
00:20:13.260 credentials, but then you have clinical assistants. A doctor can hire them based on
00:20:19.960 their knowledge of their certification, based on their judgment of their ability only solely.
00:20:26.260 There's no third party validation. So thus all five of these doctors, when I asked them
00:20:31.080 could you hire me to come into the clinic, Sondran, okay, I know nothing, I faint when I see blood,
00:20:37.740 okay, I passed out when I had my shots, okay, I could go and see people, prescribe them,
00:20:45.840 the prescriptions, obviously under their name, I could do incisions to them, I could go in there
00:20:51.680 and speak to patients, he said, absolutely, yes, I could hire you to go do that, and what is
00:20:56.660 happening is they hire people like me. Some people will go do it. I'm not saying me. They
00:21:02.300 will go hire doctors, international doctors that don't want to go through primarily the arduous
00:21:08.980 process of transferring over their certification to Canada. They're like, I don't want to even
00:21:13.800 bother. The problem is we can't trust those certifications. There's no third party body
00:21:18.240 that's overseeing them. They'll go hire them, pay them $20 an hour. Sometimes a lot of these
00:21:23.320 doctors will work for free to get the hours and experience, hire them for $20 an hour. They will
00:21:28.760 charge OHIP, which I just showed on that clip, up to $96 an hour. They will pocket the rest.
00:21:33.900 And I've been told by these sources, these doctors are supposed to be supervising these
00:21:39.480 clinical assistants. But what does supervision mean? I assumed, wait, if they're supervising,
00:21:44.520 they are there with you in the room. Nope. That's not what it means. It means they're
00:21:49.380 supposedly reviewing the notes of the case. Many of these doctors, I've been told stories
00:21:54.440 that these doctors will have 20 clinical assistants seeing patients giving notes and
00:22:01.680 prescribing the medications, doing the incisions, doing the pap smears while the doctors make
00:22:06.860 absolute bank. And this is a huge risk of public safety. One of these doctors told me that they
00:22:13.740 were impressed upon that they should be doing this. This is how they should be operating.
00:22:19.380 But this doctor actually has morals and actually was like, this is a huge risk to public safety.
00:22:25.760 How can this be happening?
00:22:27.160 And it's only in Ontario that this gap exists today.
00:22:32.380 Only in Ontario.
00:22:34.220 I don't know what we are doing in this country.
00:22:36.240 I don't know what Ontario is doing.
00:22:37.820 But right now, people have the false impression that if they go see somebody at a clinic, at a family doctor's office, that that person's validated by a third party.
00:22:46.140 But they are not.
00:22:47.360 And this is the problem.
00:22:48.240 I am not sitting here and saying every doctor is doing this.
00:22:51.360 I'm saying the system allows for it to be exploited, and it is being exploited.
00:22:56.040 And in a lot of these cases, the doctors that I've spoken to, they have said, I would never
00:23:00.760 trust my family anywhere near some of these people that are providing care to these patients.
00:23:06.600 And in one case, 18 of the 20 people in this certain clinic, he would not trust.
00:23:12.300 And he believes it's a public safety risk.
00:23:14.600 And that is why they're speaking out to me.
00:23:16.200 And since I made that video, I've been reached out by 17 different doctors who have validated that this is happening.
00:23:25.120 Absolutely insane.
00:23:26.500 It should be a concern for everybody.
00:23:28.420 We are putting people's lives in jeopardy for money.
00:23:32.760 And at the end of the day, I've made this story repeatedly.
00:23:35.480 My dad is a wise man, and he always said this to me.
00:23:39.120 When something fishy is going on, always look at where the money is going.
00:23:43.200 And this is what is happening.
00:23:44.640 It's all about the money.
00:23:45.560 It's so sick. And I think Canadians are fed up with this. They're fed up with what's happening
00:23:50.180 with health care. They're fed up with what's happening with crime. Canadians are fed up that
00:23:54.440 this country that promised this Canadian dream and opportunity to immigrants that come to this
00:24:00.040 country, that dream is obviously no longer relevant for them. That dream was a lie. 1.00
00:24:04.360 And that dream has been robbed away from Canadians that live in this country. And that's why we're 1.00
00:24:08.460 seeing Canadians now leave this country in record numbers. We are importing the world's criminals, 1.00
00:24:14.540 replacing all of the talent all of the amazing minds as Canadians that strive for a better life
00:24:21.620 leave this country play this clip look at this latest breaking news this is breaking news Canadians
00:24:26.560 are leaving Canada in record numbers and almost 50 percent of them are coming from one province
00:24:32.280 can you guess that province the number of people leaving Canada in 2025 reached over 120,000
00:24:39.700 Canadians emigrating over the course of the year and this smashes a previous record of 118,000
00:24:45.960 departures in 2024. I left the GTA I lived in Hamilton Ontario born and raised Oakville worked
00:24:52.480 in Mississauga downtown Toronto my life the quality of life deteriorated significantly everyone feels
00:24:58.680 that in our major metros I left it's been a year since I left to British Columbia Kelowna BC
00:25:03.460 and my quality of life has increased exponentially guys I am telling you what they've done in Ontario
00:25:09.000 in our major metros it's like the liberal nuclear bomb exploded that is ground zero and leaving it
00:25:16.100 in on canada yes you still feel the nuclear fallout if you're further away from the major
00:25:21.260 metros but let me tell you for me and my family this was the best decision we made in our lives
00:25:26.080 i look at this and i see this and i have many friends i'm 35 years old again born and raised
00:25:30.960 in hamilton ontario i left ontario everyone's you know you know position is unique everyone
00:25:35.740 has their own thing. We moved out of the major metro in the GTA and we are so happy in Kelowna,
00:25:40.780 BC. Does that mean that's the right opportunity for you? No, but it shows a pattern. And I speak
00:25:46.040 to so many people my age that have left to different countries around the world. People
00:25:50.640 are leaving to Dubai. I have friends that have left to the United States. I have friends that
00:25:55.680 have left to Portugal and Spain, Costa Rica, Mexico. And these are talented people, physicians
00:26:03.920 and doctors leaving to the U.S., marketing professionals leaving to Dubai. People are
00:26:09.560 leaving across this country for better opportunities because the Canadian dream that they were
00:26:14.480 promised is gone. The Canadian dream they were promised is no longer achievable. People can
00:26:20.160 barely afford to survive. And here's the crazy thing about this. It's not just the random person
00:26:26.420 working at a coffee shop. It's not just the people working at the convenience store. It's
00:26:33.360 actually the people that we need to keep in this country. It's the professionals. It's the people
00:26:38.860 that are actually adding value. It's the people that are building businesses. It's the people
00:26:42.940 that are investing. These are the people that are leaving the country in droves because they could
00:26:47.640 go. And I've spoken to many of them on my friends. I have a friend that left the Phoenix. Okay. His
00:26:53.320 life, put it like this, his income tripled, his taxes decreased, and his quality of life is
00:27:00.040 significantly better. And when he goes and travels anywhere around the world, it's so much cheaper
00:27:03.960 because it's in US dollars. Well, I'm so happy for him. I miss him. But I want the best for him
00:27:08.800 and his family. That's what he did. I have another friend that left to Dubai, incredible opportunity
00:27:14.040 pays double what they were getting paid in Canada, and with no taxes up to $250,000 a year. And he's
00:27:20.820 living an amazing life there. He loves it there. And he's able to actually go build his future and
00:27:26.540 build the life that he wants for his family. In Canada, look at what has happened. A recession.
00:27:33.480 We are the only country in the G20 in a recession today. The liberal government will say, well,
00:27:39.120 it's the Trump tariffs. It's the Trump tariffs. Trump has various tariffs across all of our
00:27:44.540 neighbors. They have tariffs on Mexico. Why aren't they in a recession? We're the only ones in a
00:27:48.900 recession. Why? We know some of the reasons why. We haven't invested in innovation. We haven't
00:27:54.260 invest in productivity. We are literally killed by taxes. We imported millions of people and
00:27:59.820 broke all of our social infrastructure to artificially boost gross GDP. And now that 0.92
00:28:05.160 we have to, because everything is broken, we've had to taper down the taps on immigration. Now
00:28:09.960 we're in a recession and we are going to continue to be in a recession. And by the way, we've been
00:28:14.020 in a recession for three or four years. It's just been masked by masked immigration. And so we have
00:28:18.980 people leaving, not only the major metros, we have people leaving within the country to find a
00:28:24.840 better quality of life, like myself. I feel fortunate, by the way, that I could find an
00:28:29.660 opportunity. I want to stay in Canada. I love this country. I love the people of this country.
00:28:36.220 I was able, in my situation uniquely, to go move outside of a major metro, get the quality of life
00:28:41.640 that I wanted, and stay within Canada. But I don't blame you if you find another opportunity outside
00:28:47.560 of these borders because this country should be doing everything it can to make you want to stay
00:28:53.400 here, to give you every opportunity that you deserve. But instead, that's not the case anymore.
00:28:58.500 Business investment is fleeing. People are fleeing. Even the new immigrants. We say we're tapering
00:29:05.040 down on this. The facade of the Canadian dream is broken even internationally. New immigrants know
00:29:10.440 that this is not where the opportunity is anymore. What do you want to do? Be crushed by taxes here
00:29:15.780 with a poor quality of life,
00:29:18.420 to live in the cold for six, seven months of the year,
00:29:22.240 to have taxes taken out from you from every facet,
00:29:26.120 whether that's our increasingly high marginal tax rates
00:29:28.700 or whether that's the luxury goods tax that you have to pay,
00:29:32.240 whether that's exuberant property taxes that you have to pay,
00:29:35.080 whether that's exuberant cost of living
00:29:36.640 and the cost of housing.
00:29:38.240 Everything just costs so much more here
00:29:41.080 and we have such little opportunity to show for it.
00:29:44.260 And so to leave this off, I think it's really, really sad. And I wish more Canadians would be vocal. If there's one thing that I'm really proud about this partnership with Juno News is that Juno is the largest independent news organization in this country. And it's about bringing our voices together to go speak about these issues.
00:30:02.040 because number one, if we don't speak about it honestly and truthfully, we're never going to get
00:30:07.500 to the result that we want. And I know many people in our government got into these positions of
00:30:12.060 power through nepotism. They wouldn't be able to survive three months in the private sector.
00:30:17.160 I'm somebody that worked in various startups throughout my career. I understand what strategy
00:30:22.300 means. And I understand what execution of that strategy means. I understand what accountability
00:30:26.760 means. And unfortunately, in this country, we lack any accountability. But it starts with how you
00:30:32.960 improve in anything in your life, whether that's your marriage, whether that's speaking and raising
00:30:37.360 with your kids, whether that's operating a business, you have to look at the facts. You
00:30:41.320 have to look at the reality of what's happening and confront that and face that in the mirror
00:30:45.660 and say, these are the issues that we have. And then tell the truth to Canadians about what we're
00:30:50.480 experiencing. Tell the truth about the missteps that we've done. And then take the corrective
00:30:55.280 action that's needed, and then actually execute on it. But we're not doing that. And you know what?
00:31:00.380 Canadians are fed up. Canadians are not going to wait all of their lives and hope that things
00:31:05.480 change in this country. They're not. They're going to go pursue other opportunities that give them
00:31:09.300 the life that they dreamed of now. We're not getting any younger. We're just getting older.
00:31:13.740 And so while I press and impress upon Canadians, of course, stay and fight. Stay and try to fix 0.99
00:31:21.060 this country together. And that's what I believe in. That's what I believe we can do. I have hope.
00:31:26.260 We should all have hope. But I will not hold you and I will not look down on you if you went
00:31:32.280 somewhere else. Because at the end of the day, if we truly care for each other, we know that we will
00:31:37.260 want the best for each other no matter what those circumstances are. So if you are listening to this
00:31:42.000 message and if you can go move to build a better life in Canada, I urge you to do it. To find a
00:31:47.980 better quality of life, I urge you to do it. But if those opportunities happen internationally for
00:31:52.100 you, I urge you to do it too, because I care for you. Canadians care for each other. And if it's
00:31:57.680 this country that can't give you those opportunities, then God help you. I hope you find those other
00:32:02.480 opportunities elsewhere in this world. And I hope you get to the opportunity of building the life
00:32:07.260 that you want in a safe community, in a place that you can provide for your family and children and
00:32:11.480 give them the life that they deserve. So I hope you enjoyed this. Please like this video. Please
