00:00:00.000 There's this new thing that Justin Trudeau has been doing over the past, I guess it's over the
00:00:03.440 past year, and it's very strange and weird and just uncomfortable. I just got to say it,
00:00:09.000 it's very uncomfortable. He does these weird selfie videos where he's like standing in front
00:00:14.220 of his phone with, and the phone's a bit, it's a bit angled, right? It's supposed to look like
00:00:17.820 it's sort of like totally him doing it, like it's totally organic. And he's like speaking into the
00:00:22.320 phone talking about legislation that he's passed. And there was a video posted this week, him and
00:00:27.580 Christopher Freeland standing very close together in his office doing one of these weird tilted
00:00:32.420 angled selfie videos. Very strange video. It's getting absolutely mocked on Twitter. And there's
00:00:38.880 a lot to get into because, again, like I said, it's just uncomfortable. Basically what Justin
00:00:44.140 Trudeau and Christopher Freeland are talking about here is they're talking into the, they're talking
00:00:47.720 into Justin Trudeau's phone, and they're saying how proud they are of legislation passed to give you
00:00:53.060 back basically $300 or $400 from taxes to help you get through what is basically record inflation,
00:01:01.960 record high food prices. So it's called this GST tax rebate. Now they're getting into too much detail.
00:01:08.040 What's going on here is Justin Trudeau and Christopher Freeland acting as Prince and Princess of Canada
00:01:12.700 are basically standing on top of their castle, throwing pennies out to the peasants on the ground,
00:01:17.860 giving back fractions of their money, which was given to the government to waste and to 0.99
00:01:22.900 spend endlessly on stupid things. They're celebrating giving back our money to us. Like it's some big 0.98
00:01:29.240 accomplishment. Oh, how charitable, how generous of you, Christopher and Justin Trudeau. How amazing
00:01:33.800 of you guys. Very weird stuff going on in this video. You've got Christy Freeland in the first 30
00:01:38.880 seconds of the video, endlessly banging her head like she's at the moth pit of a Metallica concert. 0.92
00:01:43.820 And then you've got Justin Trudeau saying the legislation has passed royal assent. Now,
00:01:49.080 I don't, you don't need to be a, uh, you don't need to be a political science expert to know that
00:01:52.820 that's not actually how it works. You don't pass royal assent. Royal assent is given. And then of
00:01:57.480 course, also the very beginning of the video, the weird way Justin Trudeau says Christy, he says it
00:02:01.980 like he's some worldwide traveled expert. He's got some, a little bit of an accent there. Christy,
00:02:06.420 Christy Freeland and I like it's very weird. Why is he? It's just so strange guys, right? I'm not the
00:02:12.560 only person who thinks it's strange. Turns out I'm not because the comments are, the comments are great.
00:02:17.460 He's getting brutally mocked for it. So one person writes, how will that offset my July $12,000
00:02:22.680 grocery bill? Oh wait, that was yours. That's right. You see, Justin Trudeau's grocery bill
00:02:27.060 and an exclusive report uncovered by True North turns out that he spent $12,000 on groceries in a
00:02:33.060 month. $12,000 because that's exactly what all of us spend, right? On groceries. This person writes,
00:02:38.260 and this is perfect. Nice spin, but I'd rather just keep my own money in the first place. Yes,
00:02:42.360 exactly. Instead of celebrating about giving pennies of our money back to us, why don't you just not
00:02:48.040 take it from us in the first place? How easy would that be? We'd save you the cringe. We'd save you
00:02:53.620 the cringe, man, of these weird videos. You don't even have to do the videos. Just don't take the
00:02:56.800 money in the first place. That's how it works, right? Justin Trudeau has to have our money to
00:03:00.080 waste in the first place, and then he can give back pennies to us, and then he can make a big deal
00:03:05.200 of it. A little, make it, make it a little political win. This person sums exactly what I just said up
00:03:09.160 perfectly. He's giving you back pennies for all your taxes that you give to him so he can waste.
