00:04:38.340They're more forgiving and they're willing to go along with it, you know, a little bit like Sleepy Hollow, where you have mayors stay on forever and councillors stay on forever.
00:04:47.200However, Parliament seems to be heading that route for some, but for folks on the periphery, folks on, you know, on marginal ridings, you better put up and put in a good day's work and make it meaningful and show up and be accountable or you'll be shown the door.
00:05:04.380Yeah, but he doesn't want to be accountable to the fact that he crossed the floor and joined the Liberals.
00:05:08.520I think that's really what he doesn't want to be accountable for.
00:05:12.480And I think he should answer to the people of his riding.
00:05:16.440I mean, it's one thing to do what you did.
00:05:19.520It's another thing to rebuff any efforts to contact you and explain yourself to the people who voted Conservative and ended up with a Liberal MP.
00:05:30.540It's really strange to see these things happening and, more importantly, what's motivating it.
00:05:37.400You know, I know some people like to cynically say, oh, it's Pierre Polyev, but I could easily say it's Mark Carman.
00:05:41.900The man's dishonest, has not committed to doing anything.
00:05:46.980All the things that he said last year are completely different than what he said this year.
00:05:50.160He wrote a whole book about his environmental pegadillos, appears to want to walk away from that.
00:05:56.100I'd be more concerned about the role of embracing the Mark Carney agenda than I would be the Pierre Polyev agenda, which I think is very clear in the open.
00:06:04.820This is a concern, and I think if there are Conservatives who want to leave, pack up and go now.
00:06:11.500You know, cut, rip the scab off as soon as you can, rip the bandage off as soon as you can, because it's pretty clear that this is becoming an affront to what people had determined.
00:06:22.240They did not vote for a majority government. They voted for a minority government. Beyond that, the expectations are that if you're going to vote for someone, you kind of dance with them that brung you.
00:06:31.580Now, Mark, I was tempted or given temptations many times, as many other members were, to move over.
00:06:38.340I didn't, because I said the only way in which I could move over and would move over, if you want me to be on your side that bad, more than just a numbers game, is I've taken to the people.
00:06:47.560And I think it's become fairly obvious to Canadians, because if this were the other way around, you had Liberals defecting the Conservatives, you'd have Liberals now saying, and they're left-wing friends, we need to have this privilege of members of Parliament put into serious suspension until such times as the public gives its consent.
00:07:07.040If Matt Jenneru, you know, Ma or Andantremont want to, you know, slip and slide and, you know, do a bit of a, you know, a quick end run and change their minds, because it somehow convinces them or because they're offered something they think is better or more enticing, or they just don't like the climate, fine.
00:07:26.700But put it to the people. Let the people make the decision. They voted for you. You didn't vote for yourself.
00:07:30.840Yeah, Lisa Raitt pretty much said the same thing, that if you're going to cross the floor, just do it, you know, rip the bandage off, get it over with.
00:07:40.400But Canadians didn't vote for a majority government. As to your point, they voted for a minority government.
00:07:46.600And so I think the fact that he is using this ploy to try and attract, trying to gain his majority through means other than going to the electorate and asking for one, I think it's going to sour people to Kearney.
00:08:00.920I think some people are going to be really wondering about this guy's ethics and maybe even some of the people who voted for him. What do you think?
00:08:06.880Well, I think his ethics were a foregone conclusion. I've said this elsewhere, when they claimed that he had something to do with the 1997 balancing of the budget, preventing us from the damage of the 2008 economic downturn, that he did wonderful things for the Bank of England.
00:08:23.380I think under the, you know, under closer scrutiny, we find those things are not quite true.
00:08:29.380In most cases, two out of three of those, I can determine their absolute bunk and an outright lie.
00:08:35.180And of course, that suggests to me that everything about this guy, you know, this big concern about China being the world's number one security last year, judging by food prices, take your pick.
00:08:46.160Everything he said has turned out to be absolute baloney. And for people to go along with that, fine, whatever.
00:08:52.380I'm not surprised. But what is surprising, I think, for the elbows-up crowd, the elbowzos, as I refer to them as,
00:08:58.280it has real standard living going. Things are starting to collapse. You brought the swan to yourself, you were warned.
00:09:04.260You knew this guy was a phony, this guy was a great deceiver. And unlike socks, sobbing and selfies, which you were content voting for in 2015, 2019, and again in 2021,
00:09:12.980you now have a man who is extraordinarily sly, conniving, and to a large extent, willing to sacrifice Canada's future for his own short-term political, perhaps even economic interests.
00:09:25.400I don't know. But Brookville ain't doing too bad, having basically dumped Canada in favor of the United States just before he got elected as prime minister.
00:09:34.120Signals to me all that we need to know about Mark Carney and his so-called values.
00:09:38.240Good thing he didn't wind up in the United States, by the way.
00:09:40.760Had he stayed there, he might have been subject to significant U.S. Department of Justice antitrust actions,
00:09:49.400which would have seen his GFANs, the Global Financial Alliance on Net Zero, fined triple damages,
00:09:56.620in which case they probably would have wound up, all banks in the United States,
00:09:59.340holding about a $1.5 to $3 trillion fine as a result of their shenanigans in trying to kill the oil and gas sector.
00:10:07.860By the way, the same oil and gas sector who here in Canada is under extraordinary pressure,
00:10:12.120since there's not going to be any pipeline built anytime soon.
00:10:15.160And I think that's Mark Carney's plan.
00:10:17.020Yeah. On that note, let's talk a little bit about the Memorandum of Understanding,
00:10:20.920signed between Mark Carney, the Prime Minister, and Premier Danielle Smith.
00:10:27.060This was supposed to be touted at the time as the start of an agreement,
00:10:32.680at which point a pipeline would be, you know, forthcoming at some point down the road,
00:10:39.780though it's unclear as to how many years it would take to actually do that.
00:10:43.440Do you feel that this is that on arrival because of investment and the lack of companies
00:10:50.700that are actually interested in investing big bucks into making this happen? Is that right?
00:10:57.360Well, a pipeline builder in your country says no, and they're going to get Mark again
00:11:00.580and sees their shares go through the roof as a result. That's, of course, Enbridge.
00:11:05.660It should send you a signal that no one is going to take.
00:11:08.620If Canada and Canadian companies are interested in investing in their own country,
00:11:11.920how the hell are you going to get others from around the world to do the same?
00:11:14.280I mean, look, we've got a great job at doing the chicken dance and, you know,
00:11:18.700bringing in every Tom, Dick and Harry fruitcake left-wing green organization
00:11:23.600to come in and destroy our LNG projects proposed.
00:11:27.000We had a government that was only willing to bend over backwards for other organizations,
00:11:32.560including the province of British Columbia, whose NDP aligned with the green,
00:11:36.800decided to reuse every tool to a box to vandalize economically prospects for the Trans Mountain pipeline,
00:11:43.280which you and I had to pick up the tab not only to buy for $6 billion,
00:11:46.400which would have been paid for by Kinder Morgan,
00:11:48.220but we also had to kick another $40 billion to get the damn thing built.
