00:02:39.320at least if you believe these numbers now from food banks canada of course they're right on the
00:02:43.460ground these are people at you know the ground zero when it comes to seeing canadians uh who
00:02:49.080need to put food on the table and simply can't afford to go go to the grocery store listen this
00:02:54.520is uh i did a quick google search so when i was member of parliament two years ago i went to the
00:03:00.260food banks report card uh every year they would come out they would come to ottawa they would ring
00:03:05.700these alarm bells these folks were like guys this is a existential crisis this is getting worse this
00:03:13.420is not getting better this is the worst we've ever seen in history like there was they weren't you
00:03:18.300know this is as dramatic and as serious as it gets and i did a just a quick little google search
00:03:25.000before uh i did this interview mark um on hansert how many times conservatives brought up food bank
00:03:32.740usage from 2020 so not even from when they took power in 2015 from 2020 over 4 000 interventions
00:03:42.420where we said this is an existential crisis like we live in canada okay we don't we don't live in a
00:03:50.100third world country we live in canada and one third of all food bank users are kids and any
00:03:56.980mp who's done their due diligence when they go back to their riding and visits a food bank or
00:04:01.620takes the meetings in their office where people are coming to them that run volunteer food cupboards
00:04:05.980in their local communities in these rural communities that have been ringing the alarm
00:04:10.120bells not only is the food bank usage the highest we've ever seen in history mark
00:04:13.920we're running out of food i went to gage town in new brunswick this is a canadian forces base
00:04:21.640when i was a member of parliament and i told this story multiple times in the house of commons and
00:04:26.040it it actually blew my mind so the woman serving at the food bank is standing in front of a
00:04:32.840a map of all the families they serve at this food bank and she has little pins where it's served
00:04:39.900and in the middle of cfb gage town she has a bunch of pins and i said why why are there pins
00:04:48.820of military families using the food bank and she said oh we have about 50 a month
00:04:56.04050 a month and so you know i think it's gotten to a point where you know people have listened
00:05:05.460to me drone on about this food poverty food insecurity and then to create programs to try
00:05:11.840to make it better have significantly made it worse like you now have a responsibility if you don't
00:05:18.360vote liberal you vote conservative or you've seen and understand what's going on you have a
00:05:23.360responsibility to have a conversation with somebody who votes liberal. Because this is now
00:05:28.640no longer about, oh, this is my team and this is your team. This is actually about people in our
00:05:35.640country and our neighbors who are going to the food bank, which ties directly in with your second
00:05:42.200issue that you've brought up, which is unmitigated immigration. So you have a prime minister who
00:05:49.480tells the New York Times, not Canadians, that he's going to increase immigration. He appoints
00:05:55.640Dominic Barton. Dominic Barton is the head of the Century Initiative who wants to bring in 100
00:06:01.720million people by, I can't, what year is that? 2030? Well, 2100, I think. 2100, sorry, thank you.
00:06:10.100Century Initiative. Yes, Century Initiative, you're right. And he wants to bring in
00:06:16.040more people into this country when we've just lost in the last month almost 70 000 jobs
00:06:22.900he's created scarcity now if anybody read my sub stack in the last week this is a gentleman who
00:06:29.460came here 26 years ago from dubai as a 20 as a 16 year old international student he's an indo-canadian
00:06:37.220and his words let me tell you if you want me to read them to you mark i can but he does not mince
00:06:42.680them he is devastated that he is being painted with the same brush as the criminals and the0.67
00:06:49.680low quality immigrants that have been brought into this country some of whom are terrorists0.99
00:06:54.540some who are like we have 700 irgc terrorists in our country and they've created scarcity which0.99
00:06:59.880has created division and racism you don't have enough housing you don't have enough health care
00:07:04.640you don't have enough jobs you have food bank usage that's skyrocketing daycare all of these
00:07:11.300programs that the liberals tout are perfection and a prime minister that has the gall to say two
00:07:18.700things affordability is the best it's ever been in over a decade and our house is in order
00:07:24.440shame on him and shame on anyone who's who is supporting him at this point because these
00:07:31.180results are true human suffering this saturday british colombians have a chance to vote for
00:07:37.600safer neighbourhoods, to vote for healthcare that works, to vote for repealing DRIPA, to vote for
00:07:44.400sanity in our classrooms, to vote for jobs, to vote for tax relief, to vote out David Eby and
00:07:52.120the NDP. It's time for strong, serious leadership. This Saturday, vote Conservative.
00:07:58.580how does the government kind of skate past this issue they keep telling us one thing they keep
00:08:10.440telling us that though the affordability issue is we've got it under control and don't worry
00:08:15.400about immigration unfortunately they've got a huge trust problem don't they because of course0.91
00:08:20.200they're the ones who created the immigration problem the disaster now maybe they could say
00:08:25.660Well, that was another previous, you know, prime minister, which, of course, you got to know when you were in the House as a member of Parliament.
00:08:33.020But I don't think that Mr. Carney is all that different in terms of his attitudes.
00:08:37.100And the mask comes off when he's talking to, you know, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, right?
00:08:42.540I guess he feels more inclined to tell the truth when he's talking to U.S. media and when he's talking to Canadians.
00:08:49.740But you're right. We're not a third world country, but we seem to be importing a lot of the third world.1.00
00:08:55.260and that's making a lot of Canadians nervous.1.00
00:08:58.020And I think they've done some internal polling,
00:09:24.440once that group goes they need to fill in uh the new voting bloc right they need a new huge voting
00:09:31.540block and that's why they need more people coming into the country i'm absolutely convinced that
00:09:35.680this is purely political and you can either weigh in on that or we can change subjects and talk
00:09:42.740about the alberta referendum if you want i'll leave it up to you well i think they're all all
00:09:47.380in one and they're all connected it's a spiderweb mark and i think you know the alberta referendum
00:09:52.720is is an absolute reflection of the frustration of canadians and the you don't respect me and
00:10:01.160and it is a hundred percent political it's always political and you know like this is the reality
00:10:09.840of what they do they they create this problem okay so they make you suffer and you you don't
00:10:17.660you're paying 47 percent in tax everything is exploding groceries prices are high higher than
00:10:23.240they've ever been food bank usage is higher than it's ever been and then they come out and say
00:10:27.820we're going to give you a grocery rebate and they're going to give you a grocery rebate with
00:10:33.280your money so the the analogy i've always said is they cut off your arm and then they show up and
00:10:39.120give you a band-aid and say i'm going to help you oh my gosh that must be terrible and what i've
00:10:44.480really noticed is they they've actually gotten more arrogant about it like this appointment of
00:10:51.260Dominic Barton I keep coming back to that because people need to pay attention to who this guy is
00:10:56.400and it's liberal insiders and if you're on the if you're on the club if you're in the club you're
00:11:01.280doing fine if you're not in the club screw you and your collateral damage right and every program
00:11:08.920they have like i was the critic for child care winners and losers that thank god it was exposed
00:11:14.920through the bc election of david evey which we've all been saying forever it's the haves and have
00:11:20.360nots the people who are you know shouldn't be accessing this program are accessing this program
00:11:25.080and the people who need it the most are left in the dust you know david evey yeah i use ten dollar
00:11:30.360a day child care even though we make over 300 or whatever thousand dollars a year meanwhile the
00:11:34.920single moms are writing in bc had to pause this program because there's no that they they can't
00:11:40.440they can't sustain it it's a it's an exact perfect replica of every liberal program they have and0.70
00:11:48.040again i can't i can't stress this enough like this is i need you to stop having an identity of being
00:11:55.320a liberal and start having an identity of being a canadian like if you care about your country
00:12:02.360stop voting for the people who are destroying it and if you don't see that they're destroying it
00:12:09.080then i strongly encourage you to go downtown because this is the other problem if you don't
00:12:13.720live in a downtown if you live in an elite neighborhood and you don't see the addiction
00:12:17.960and homeless crisis that has taken ravage over every downtown community in this country then
00:12:22.840you don't think it's real you think people are making it up then go to a food bank and serve
00:12:28.120like i served at breakfast i talked to these people i saw these kids like there's a food
00:12:36.520bank in peterborough there are children in line there every week like if that this is this is no
00:12:44.920longer hey guys this is i'm a liberal i'm like your your community is no longer safe you let out
00:12:53.320violent repeat offenders on the streets to terrorize people when they take their dog for a
00:12:58.360walk like go to that gentleman in orillia five minutes from his house from an opp station walking
00:13:05.400his dogs who was murdered by a violent repeat offender out on bail but the liberals promised0.69
00:13:12.120they were formed bail you can't trust a damn word they say they have given you no reason to trust
00:13:19.000them they've given you no reason to believe them other than you've decided you identify0.70
00:13:24.600as not conservative and my plea to people right now when they read these these food bank reports
00:13:31.080this is not sensationalism this is not somebody making this up these are people on the front line
00:13:36.520telling you that canadians are starving and can't feed themselves so stop voting liberal yeah and
00:13:43.320And they're going to start missing mortgage payments, already have started.
00:13:48.560And, you know, we're going to see that as interest rates, of course, are at a level that people can't afford now to get their mortgage renewed.
00:13:57.180And so that's starting to become an issue more and more as well.
