Justin Trudeau is planning sweeping reforms for the Canadian economy, something that he does not have a mandate for, something he never brought up to the Canadian people when we had an election just one year ago. Now this is not me just randomly pontificating, this is coming from prominent liberal insider sources in a number of publications, the Toronto Star, Bloomberg, and Reuters.

00:00:00.000 Justin Trudeau is planning sweeping reforms for the Canadian economy, something that he does not
00:00:11.180 have a mandate for, something that he never brought up to the Canadian people when we had an election
00:00:15.720 just one year ago. Now this is not me just randomly pontificating, this is coming from
00:00:21.800 interviews with prominent liberal insider sources in a number of publications, the Toronto Star,
00:00:27.080 Bloomberg, Reuters, a lot of people stepping forward and saying Trudeau has major reforms
00:00:32.940 planned. Chrystia Freeland too, in fact one liberal calls her a social interventionist, believing 1.00
00:00:38.700 government should be coming in, redistributing money, engineering, all of these results. That's
00:00:43.380 the term they use, social interventionist, really something to hear a phrase like that being used
00:00:48.660 to describe the finance minister of your G7 country. Now a lot of these reforms, we're not exactly clear
00:00:54.420 what they're going to be, I suspect we will learn them in leaks to friendly media in the weeks to
00:00:58.600 come. But we're going to see apparently one of these sources also says ambitious climate goals,
00:01:04.460 as if what we have, the shutting down of the oil sands via Bill C-69, not approving any projects,
00:01:10.600 having this carbon tax we have, $50 per ton, how much more ambitious can it get than that? Probably
00:01:16.720 a further shutting down of the oil sands and to go from $50 per ton with the carbon tax to, well I don't
00:01:22.380 know, a lot of activists are pushing it for it to be $300 per ton, so I guess Trudeau maybe will meet
00:01:27.240 them at the middle, or he'll go up to $100 and then later he'll escalate it to $150, that sort of
00:01:31.860 thing. I don't know, I'm just guessing. He's going to have to tell us, and more importantly, I don't
00:01:38.980 think the opposition can approve the throne speech if it has all these newfangled ideas in them.
00:01:44.900 Because you take them all together, whatever they are, we shall see, I think a sort of taxpayer-funded
00:01:49.180 daycare might be a part of the mix. You take them all together, what do you call this all?
00:01:53.880 You call it a platform. Now Trudeau's been criticized in the past for not having the meatiest
00:01:58.920 platforms he could have. He just likes to say sunny ways and hope to sell people on that.
00:02:04.820 This is a platform. If these various ideas of different social reform and radical economic
00:02:10.400 reform, if they are in fact things that are going to come to pass. So Trudeau needs to take it to the
00:02:16.040 people. These are not the sort of things that you can just randomly bring forward in legislation,
00:02:20.940 albeit yes, a throne speech, but maybe that's what he wants and maybe that's what he knows
00:02:25.280 is going to happen. Because the opposition, well, they have the ability to topple the government in
00:02:30.640 this throne speech. And I think it's a bit of a waste to have an election just one year after,
00:02:36.240 the expense of it, also the logistics of doing it during a pandemic. People feel like we only just had
00:02:41.800 one, but we will have a new conservative leader. And well, it looks like from Trudeau, we'll have
00:02:46.500 an entirely new platform that he wants to sell to the people. So I think it will be incumbent upon
00:02:51.520 the opposition to say, this is a whole new agenda. You do not actually have a mandate from the people
00:02:56.740 for it. So we got to go to the polls. And then Trudeau will finally know one way or the other,
00:03:01.700 do Canadians actually want this much more socialist direction for their country to go? And perhaps
00:03:07.380 he's willing to make that wager.
