Juno News - Libs have NO plan to deal with IMPENDING migrant crisis

00:00:00.000 As we near a second Donald Trump presidency, Canadians are growing anxious about an impending

00:00:06.060 number of migrants. That's because Trump has promised to clean up America and send illegals 0.94

00:00:12.940 packing. As the threat of deportation looms for migrants in the U.S., illegals south of the border

00:00:19.400 will no doubt start looking for a new home where they can access free shelter and benefits. And

00:00:26.200 Canada is only too obvious a choice. After all, the federal government is currently spending $208

00:00:32.800 a day per asylum seeker. So it's probably no surprise that 18,000 people claimed asylum in

00:00:41.160 Canada in just June alone. In the past two years, we've seen an increase in so-called asylum claims

00:00:47.800 of nearly 300%. So what's Ottawa's response to this growing anxiety among Canadian citizens?

00:00:56.200 Nothing, really. Federal ministers claim to have a plan, but provide no details. They

00:01:02.600 also insist that controlling the border is, like, really important. Unless we see a change

00:01:08.720 in government soon, we are, as the kids say, totally cooked. I'm Rachel Parker, and you're

00:01:15.000 watching The Rachel Parker Show.

00:01:32.920 Hey, everyone. I'm Rachel Parker. Welcome back to The Rachel Parker Show. Today, we are going to take

00:01:39.400 a look at Donald Trump's plan to send illegals packing in the United States and how that could

00:01:45.160 impact us here in Canada. I'm sure you guys have seen lots of speculation online. Reporters in Ottawa

00:01:51.280 have started grilling the appropriate ministers about their plan to deal with a likely impending

00:01:57.480 flood of migrants over to Canada, and they have really not been able to provide any specific details

00:02:02.280 to the Canadian people. So let's take a look at all that today, starting with Donald Trump's plan

00:02:08.360 to deal with illegal migrants in the United States of America. So he has a whole bunch of different

00:02:15.320 parts of this plan. His deportation efforts, first of all, start with something called immediate action.

00:02:20.040 So they're going to be taking a focus on the worst first, and that means targeting individuals with

00:02:25.400 criminal records, national security threats, and public safety threats. Another part of the plan

00:02:31.000 refers to priority on recent arrivals. That refers to targeting migrants who have arrived in the United

00:02:37.240 States of America in the past two years. Those are labeled as illegal migrants who have no place in the

00:02:43.720 country. I suspect that you guys might have seen some of the imagery of the United States southern border

00:02:49.720 with Mexico. There's been video footage at times that have just shown hundreds and hundreds of migrants

00:02:55.320 running in, running across the border, and you can see the border agents standing there. They have been

00:03:00.680 made essentially powerless to do anything about this because of the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

00:03:06.920 administration and their policies on the border. And so this would really focus those illegals who came

00:03:12.760 in under Harris and Biden with no repercussions and were essentially welcomed into the states with a flood of

00:03:19.240 benefits awaiting them. That also, Donald Trump will also be targeting those benefits. He's going to be

00:03:25.000 cutting federal funding that currently benefits undocumented immigrants, including federal aid to

00:03:31.240 sanctuary cities. This is intended to restrict financial support and encourage self-deportation.

00:03:36.920 So yes, obviously, the Trump administration is going to be sending federal agents throughout America

00:03:42.520 to collect illegals, especially those with strong criminal records. But by cutting some of this funding,

00:03:48.120 they're hoping that illegals will say, you know, the situation has changed over here,

00:03:51.240 we no longer have access to free food, we no longer have access to free housing,

00:03:56.920 we are going to pack up our bags and go move somewhere else. And of course, the fear among

00:04:01.880 Canadians is that they are going to flood into Canada, where we still have these federal programs

00:04:07.080 that essentially pays migrants to be here and to leech off the system. The Trump administration also plans to 0.75

00:04:14.680 invoke the Alien Enemies Act. That's a 1798 law that allows presidents to deport or detain aliens deemed

00:04:22.680 a threat to national security. As part of this plan, Donald Trump has announced a new borders are to

00:04:30.760 target deportation. So one of the big scandals of the recent presidential election was that Kamala Harris

00:04:38.120 was given the title of borders are under Joe Biden. And then the United States of America saw a record

00:04:44.200 number of illegals flood through the border. I just spoke about those, that image, those imageries

00:04:48.120 that you saw of hundreds of migrants running across the border into the United States of America with

00:04:52.840 no repercussions, border agents standing there powerless to do anything to stop them. Well, and then,

00:04:58.280 you know, there was that whole situation during the election that the mainstream media tried to run

00:05:01.240 cover for Harris saying, Oh, no, no, she was never actually the borders are, even then it had already

00:05:05.240 been written into the record. There was, there was a lot of evidence of Joe Biden even referring to

00:05:09.880 Harris as the borders are. So now Donald Trump has named Tom Homan, a former acting ICE director

00:05:16.760 as the borders are to oversee the deportation operation and secure the border. Now the actual

00:05:25.000 numbers is, is shocking. The United States estimates that there's 11 to 20 million undocumented migrants

00:05:31.640 living in the United States of America at the moment. So this is going to be a very hefty job for

00:05:36.360 Tom Homan. He certainly has his work cut out for him. America, like Canada, it seems to be in a bit

00:05:41.960 of a state of total disrepair at the moment. And what we're seeing under the Trump administration

00:05:47.320 is, um, well, the expected Trump administration with the appointments that he's already named is

00:05:52.360 he's looking to hire people who really know their areas that they're experts in their areas and are

00:05:58.680 taking this job seriously. And you understand that they were given, you know, a massive victory by the

00:06:04.920 American people. And they certainly have the mandate to make these changes. Remember Donald

00:06:09.000 Trump won all seven swing states. So he has a absolutely massive mandate to continue and proceed

00:06:13.640 with the things that he promised. And we're seeing that with some of his appointments, like the appointment

00:06:17.960 of Tom Homan as borders are, and we'll get into Tom Homan now and talk a little bit about who he is.

00:06:24.920 So when we talk about people being air experts in their field, Tom Homan is a perfect example of that.

00:06:30.760 He's a former American police officer. He's a former immigration official

00:06:35.800 and he's a political commentator. He also served during the Obama administration and the first

00:06:40.360 Trump administration administration. Sorry. He served as acting director of the U S immigration

00:06:46.200 and customs enforcement, otherwise known as ice from January, 2017 to June, 2018. And he advocates

00:06:54.040 for the deportation of undocumented immigrants and opposes sanctuary city policies

00:06:59.480 within the Trump administration. He was among the most strident proponents of separating children

00:07:03.960 from their parents as a means of deterring illegal entry into the country and curbing human trafficking.

00:07:10.280 Okay. So when we talk about what we're seeing in the United States, we obviously have a huge

00:07:13.880 push from progressives like Bernie Sanders, like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, like the Clintons now,

00:07:21.080 and, you know, people like Congresswoman AOC, who really advocate for these insanely progressive

00:07:27.320 polities, things like sanctuary cities, things like welcoming migrants across the border without any 0.66

00:07:32.040 vetting, and then paying for them for their benefits, paying for them to be put up in hotel rooms,

00:07:36.920 giving them in some cases, giving them visas where they can essentially go prepaid visas, where they can

00:07:41.960 go and buy what they want with it. You know, giving them brand new clothes, giving them new shoes.

00:07:47.000 On the opposite side of that spectrum, you have someone like Tom Homan, who, among, you know,

00:07:53.880 sort of the establishment American class, would be considered quite controversial for his strong

00:07:59.240 stance on immigration. And I think this just shows how far the scale has slid in terms of

00:08:06.280 conservatives and liberals or Republicans and Democrats. That his views, you know, a few years

00:08:12.600 ago would have been considered maybe a little bit to the right, maybe slightly mainstream. And now he's

00:08:16.120 considered quite radical in this field. But that is essentially what we need to see in both America

00:08:21.080 and in Canada, we need to see a radical response to the flood of migrants who are coming to our 1.00

00:08:26.600 countries. And, you know, leeching essentially off of our benefits and our systems and our generosity.

00:08:31.880 And, you know, the Trump administration is promising to take this seriously. It was obviously a

00:08:36.040 pinnacle campaign promise during the presidential election campaign. But our fear is that over here in

00:08:41.640 Canada, we do not have serious political leaders, we do not have a political will in Canada to begin

00:08:49.000 deporting these migrants. And I don't know that the situation is going to get any better. And now with 1.00

00:08:54.360 the United States taking this so seriously, it's all too easy for migrants in the states, illegals in

00:09:00.040 the states to head up to the board to the United States shared border with Canada and walk across.

00:09:06.120 And in some cases, they will be detained temporarily. But it is all too easy for them to claim asylum

00:09:11.080 status. And you know, to be put up in a hotel and to have their food paid for until they you know,

00:09:17.160 they seek a pathway to permanent residency here in Canada. So Tom Homan, I said he's someone who's

00:09:22.440 going to be taking his job very seriously. Take a listen to this clip of him in an interview with Fox

00:09:28.040 News a while back, you can see here that this is someone who he's not beating around the bush,

00:09:32.200 he is being very plain and direct about how he views illegal immigration. And it is refreshing

00:09:37.960 to see somebody with this much candor being appointed to a position with as much power as

00:09:44.120 the borders are. Take a listen. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was out stumping for Bernie Sanders

00:09:49.720 in Iowa. Let's take a listen to what she had to say on Saturday.

00:09:53.320 Organizing is about tipping people off if you start to see that ICE and CBP are in communities

00:10:00.760 to try to keep people safe. I'm here because Senator Sanders has actually committed to breaking

00:10:06.280 up ICE and CBP. Tom, your thoughts on that statement?

00:10:12.040 It's ridiculous. It's an extremely stupid statement made by somebody I never considered real smart 1.00

00:10:17.800 anyways. But here's the elected lawmaker. She's a congresswoman standing on the stage 1.00

00:10:24.360 telling people how to obstruct ICE, tipping off people that ICE is looking for. And she needs to

00:10:28.920 realize 9 out of 10 of everybody ICE arrested last year was a convicted criminal or pending criminal

00:10:34.200 charges. Let me talk about last year. 137,000 criminals, 2,000 were murders, 12,000 sex offenses,

00:10:41.320 45,000 assaults, 62,000 drug offenses, 10,000 weapons offenses. And she wants the community to tip

00:10:47.880 these people off the ICEs in the neighborhood operating. You know, ICE's job is already extremely

00:10:53.480 dangerous. Now she's making it more dangerous. You know, and she's one of these Democrats keep saying 1.00

00:10:58.360 no one's above the law. The president is above the law. We need to impeach the president because

00:11:01.960 he's not above the law. But apparently illegal aliens are above the law because ICE isn't allowed to

00:11:07.080 arrest him. It's a ridiculous statement. I love those kind of disarming attacks. 0.98

00:11:13.320 Most of all, he basically, you know, calls it for what it is. He says it's stupid. 1.00

00:11:17.080 And then he explains why AOC's logic doesn't really work out. She's always talking about how 1.00

00:11:22.040 the president shouldn't be above the law. She believes that illegal migrants in the United

00:11:27.000 States of America are above the law because they can cross the border into a country where they 0.92

00:11:31.800 shouldn't have access and they don't have citizenship. And then they can commit all these crimes. 1.00

00:11:35.640 And she doesn't want them to be held responsible for the crimes that they commit.

00:11:39.480 Okay. So moving to take a look at Canada, what are Canadian politicians saying about this impending

00:11:45.480 threat of migrants flooding to Canada? Well, some people are already raising the alarm.

00:11:51.240 We have Quebec Premier Francois Legault, who says that is something he's concerned about.

00:11:55.320 You guys are going to want to make sure that you're looking at the video version of this,

00:11:58.520 which I know most of you do to hear what he has to say. Take a look at the Quebec Premier.

00:12:02.280 We have 600,000 immigrants temporarily in Quebec. It has doubled for two years. It has 0.97

00:12:14.520 been causing important impacts on the employment market. We have already had a slowdown in the

00:12:24.280 way, but in the last few years. In the last few years, we don't want to see, in plus, an

00:12:29.960 arrival massive of immigrants who come via the United States. Because that could really

00:12:36.520 balance the market of employment. And already, our capacity of support, our capacity of

00:12:43.560 to be over-percentage. But with the asylum seekers, we are really at a point where it's really 0.51

00:12:55.800 over-percentage, our capacity to over-percentage. So we're going to get in touch with the federal

00:13:01.800 government. It's the responsibility of the federal government to protect our borders.

00:13:06.520 Okay. So for those of you that are listening to the audio version, Quebec Premier Francois Legault

00:13:14.840 says that we have 600,000 migrants in the province currently, an amount that has doubled in the past

00:13:20.920 two years. And we, as a province, are already totally overwhelmed in our ability to intake and

00:13:27.720 integrate these asylum seekers. We do not have space for any more. And it is already starting to 1.00

00:13:33.080 destabilize the job market. And any additional migrants would totally destabilize that job market. 1.00

00:13:39.640 And then he implores the federal government. He said, this is the federal government's

00:13:42.840 responsibility to ensure that we are not overwhelmed with a flood of asylum seekers. So you can hear him 0.99

00:13:48.840 there imploring the federal government to make sure that they are making these changes and that they

00:13:53.400 have a plan to deal with what everyone rightly suspects will be a flood of migrants at our shared land 1.00

00:13:58.760 border with the United States of America. So this is something that has been atop most people's mind.

00:14:03.640 It was also something that federal ministers up in Ottawa were grilled about the day after the U.S.

00:14:09.000 presidential election, Wednesday morning, and federal ministers were pressed on their plans

00:14:14.200 and their thoughts on a potential flood of migrants at our land border. And they really didn't have

00:14:19.240 anything much to say about it. They gave some vague platitudes, the type that were not reassuring to

00:14:25.720 me at all. And I'm sure it won't be reassuring to you because it seems even when they do have a very

00:14:30.280 specific plan of action, they really struggle to implement that. So when it's vague platitudes,

00:14:36.280 we know that it is essentially meaningless. Here's Chrystia Freeland responding to some of the questions

00:14:41.880 about what she plans to do about controlling the border. She says that it is, quote, really important.

00:14:47.640 Thanks for the question, Mackenzie. And again, what Americans choose to do, what America's

00:14:56.440 incoming elected administration chooses to do in the United States is a decision for Americans and

00:15:03.080 American leaders. The decision for Canadians and what's important for Canadians is to control our own 0.95

00:15:12.840 border. And that is something that's really important. It's fundamental. And I do want to assure

00:15:20.200 Canadians that we absolutely recognize the importance of border security and of controlling our own border,

00:15:30.360 of controlling who comes into Canada and who doesn't. And we will do that. 0.98

00:15:35.720 Well, she said that she was trying to reassure you guys. Do you feel assured?

00:15:41.640 She thinks that controlling the border is really important and that Canadians want to ensure that

00:15:48.360 they know and get to decide who's coming in. So why hasn't that been happening for the past decade

00:15:54.520 under the Liberal government to the point where in the past two years, we've seen a flood of asylum

00:15:59.400 seekers of increasing in 300%. Again, the Liberals could have expected that this is something that they

00:16:06.600 would have been questioned about in the follow-up of the US presidential election. There was only two

00:16:12.440 possibilities of who was going to win. Either we were going to have Kamala Harris and we would not see 0.73

00:16:16.840 a change in border policy in the US because as Kamala Harris already stated in an infamous and explosive

00:16:24.200 and possibly the most detrimental interview she did on the campaign trail was that she can't think of 0.90

00:16:29.080 anything she would do differently than Joe Biden. So the Liberals could have assumed that border policy and

00:16:34.840 immigration policy in the US would have stayed the same under Kamala Harris. It isn't that much to

00:16:39.640 think, oh well, if Trump wins one of his major campaign promises, deporting illegals, I'm a federal

00:16:46.040 minister, Canadians are so concerned about immigration right now, I should be prepared to respond to this.

00:16:51.320 But like in so many things in Canadian politics, the Liberals seem so unprepared to deal and respond to the

00:16:57.320 most obvious questions, the most obvious concerns that are top of Canadians mind. I think that's why

00:17:03.400 we're seeing a 20-point increase for the Conservatives consistently, it's because the Liberals are so out

00:17:09.000 of touch with what matters to Canadians and they continue focusing on these outrageous social policies

00:17:15.560 and their climate initiatives that don't impact us and don't address our concerns at the moment.

00:17:21.320 So it's clear from watching that that Chrystia Freeland does not have a plan to respond to potential

00:17:29.240 migrants flooding in across the US. Federal Immigration Minister Mark Miller was also asked

00:17:37.560 about what his thoughts on illegals showing up at the border of Canada and the United States. Here's what he had to say.

00:17:43.160 I'm an important partner and they have a democratic process that we fundamentally respect. When it comes

00:17:50.040 to immigration, when it comes to the work that I do, I've spent the last 18 months making sure that we

00:17:54.840 have an immigration system that is disciplined, that is controlled, that has a controlled flow of 0.98

00:17:59.720 migrants to this country, that work will continue. Our interests are aligned with the US in making sure that

00:18:05.320 we have a northern border that is secure and that has a managed flow of trade and and that'll continue.

00:18:12.920 This will always be an issue of making sure that for us what is in the best interest of Canada and

00:18:17.800 what is in the best interests of Canadians.

00:18:24.600 So totally doesn't answer the question. I also love how both Miller and Chrystia Freeland started 0.84

00:18:29.880 off with saying, well, you know, this long-winded answer about respecting the United States process

00:18:34.440 and how the US has the ability to determine their own policy. Yes, we know that. No one was arguing about

00:18:40.680 that. You don't need to start off talking to us like we're two-year-olds. We understand that the

00:18:44.200 United States is its own country with its own defined border, its own government that will

00:18:47.720 make policies to benefit that country. That's not the issue at hand here. The issue at hand here is

00:18:52.440 whether your, as our government officials, are going to deal with a potential impending border

00:18:57.080 crisis at our land border with the United States of America. And they're not able to answer that

00:19:01.000 question there. Instead, they give these platitudes about how Canadians want to ensure they know who's

00:19:05.480 coming into the country and that the border is already controlled. Well, we know the border isn't

00:19:09.240 under control. We know that because of how much the government is spending on asylum seekers who are 1.00

00:19:14.680 currently living in Canada. We're living in hotels that we, the taxpayer, are putting them up there

00:19:20.040 to pay for and to feed them, which I would say is inappropriate basically at any time in Canadian

00:19:25.800 history, but especially now when we continuously see how the Canadian people are suffering under the

00:19:31.400 weight of inflation. It's not just me saying this. The Canadian Mounties are also on high alert

00:19:37.400 as they prepare for a potential flood of migrants. Take a look at this next clip.

00:19:42.520 All of the eyes are on the border to see what's going to happen in the next few hours,

00:19:45.720 the next few days and the next few weeks.

00:19:49.640 So there's Sergeant Charles Poirier of the RCMP base in Montreal, who said that they are paying

00:19:54.840 attention to what's going to happen. He even starts by saying in the next few hours, meaning in the

00:19:59.720 immediate hours that was taken on Wednesday after Trump was elected president last week,

00:20:04.520 seven days ago, in the immediate hours after Trump was elected president, the RCMP were already aware

00:20:10.600 to be on high alert. That's because they can read and they follow the news and they realize that,

00:20:16.360 like I mentioned before, there is only one of two outcomes for the US presidential election.

00:20:20.680 One, which would signify a dramatic shift in US immigration policy starting in January when Trump

00:20:28.120 is inaugurated as president. And so, you know, they were already prepared to have a response.

00:20:32.760 Why were our liberal officials, some of the highest paying, highest paid politicians in Canada,

00:20:38.200 not prepared to respond to this in the immediate aftermath of the presidential election?

00:20:43.240 That is the question we should all be asking ourselves, why they couldn't have prepared a

00:20:46.840 response for something that is top of mind for most Canadians right now.

00:20:51.400 Okay, so when we talk about,

00:20:53.080 we talk about the cost to Canadians. I just wanted to go over some of these numbers for you guys so

00:20:58.600 you can realize exactly how severe this is. Yes, I mentioned that we are spending $208 a day per

00:21:05.160 asylum seeker that we are housing in Canada right now. But let's actually dive into some of the numbers

00:21:10.440 a bit more specifically. This is from the Epoch Times. Ottawa spent more than $100 million on hotel

00:21:15.640 rooms for asylum seekers in Niagara Falls alone over a year after nearly 5,000 individuals were

00:21:22.920 transferred to the city between February 2023 and February 2024. Then the IRCC said the average cost

00:21:30.520 for asylum seeker is $208 per day. That includes rooms, meals, services, and security. That security

00:21:39.400 part is really noteworthy to me. Why are we paying for them to have security? I don't even have security and

00:21:45.080 I'm like a right-wing conservative commentator who would be considered like fairly controversial

00:21:51.160 in some circles. I don't know why these refugees need security. That is bizarre. So that is in 1.00

00:21:58.440 Niagara Falls alone. And part of the reason that so many of these asylum seekers were sent to Niagara 0.99

00:22:02.120 Falls is because Quebec basically said we're full and we don't have any more space for them. So the

00:22:07.160 federal government decided to start housing them in Niagara Falls. And if you go look through Niagara

00:22:13.400 Falls reviews of hotels, you'll see that it is crippling the hotel industry because nobody wants

00:22:19.400 to stay in Niagara Falls hotel anymore because of how overrun they are. That last line there,

00:22:25.640 it said that in some cases, six people were being housed in one hotel room. Typically a hotel room,

00:22:31.720 you know, there's room for anywhere from one to four people to sleep with four already being considered

00:22:37.160 pretty packed. And that would mean that there's already two people sleeping on the floor of a likely very

00:22:42.280 small hotel room or even a motel because there's many motels in Niagara Falls. You know, the issue

00:22:48.600 here is not that we need to be leasing more hotel rooms for these asylum seekers. It's that we need to

00:22:53.320 be telling them, sorry, we're full. You're going to have to find somewhere else to go. The other question

00:22:59.560 that I often ask myself, and I think we've seen sort of like a change in narrative from a lot of,

00:23:04.760 I think even like Indian students who are coming to Canada as they'll kind of report to people back at home, 0.99

00:23:08.760 and they'll be like, don't come. It's really expensive. Like the quality of life here is a lot

00:23:12.520 lower. It's like, I have to wonder, like for the people who are coming here and living in hotels,

00:23:16.600 if they were like, oh yes, this is everything that we thought it was going to be. Canada is also an

00:23:20.760 extremely cold country. So typically in the winter, a lot of Canadians spend a lot of time inside.

00:23:27.480 I live in Alberta. So like a good six months of the year, you spend most of your time outside.

00:23:31.960 If you're someone who doesn't like the cold, like I do.

00:23:34.840 So for these people who are oftentimes coming from warmer climates, you know, I have to think

00:23:39.240 that I just can't imagine they're here and be like, oh, this is everything I've ever wanted and more.

00:23:44.840 Now, the last little tip of information that I wanted to share with you guys is when we talk about

00:23:50.200 this flood of migrants expected at the shared Canada-US land border, we're already hearing

00:23:56.200 initial reports that migrants in New York are making plans and are currently headed to Canada.

00:24:03.320 So this is from an account on X called Viral News New York City. Actually, my friend Leroy runs the

00:24:09.640 account. So he does amazing coverage in New York City of the migrant crisis. As you guys know,

00:24:14.360 New York City has been absolutely flooded with migrants. So I trust him. And basically he reported, 1.00

00:24:20.120 I was told by a source at a migrant shelter that buses are pulling up at certain times of the hour and

00:24:24.520 picking up migrants and driving them to Canada. I'm being told a majority of the migrants leaving are

00:24:29.880 from Venezuela. I messaged him about this. And I said that I wanted to share it on the show today

00:24:34.840 and asked him if he had any or more information to share. And he said, an African migrant tipped me

00:24:40.120 off about this and told me they are leaving because they are scared of Trump, which is exactly what we

00:24:45.400 all expected. This is not rocket science. We all see this coming, everyone apparently, but our liberal

00:24:50.280 government, who was totally unprepared to respond to those questions and those concerns, who obviously do not

00:24:56.280 have a plan in the immediate aftermath of the US presidential election. And to be honest, I suspect

00:25:01.240 their plan would probably be to welcome these migrants with open arms and to continue forcing 1.00

00:25:06.600 billing the taxpayer to put these migrants up in hotels when we really can't afford it in Canada right 1.00

00:25:12.440 now. Let me know what you think in the comment section below. Do you think that the liberal

00:25:16.760 government will take this problem seriously? Or do you suspect what I said is true, that we will continue

00:25:23.240 being billed to house these asylum seekers in hotels all across the country? 0.95

00:25:29.240 Okay, now I want to take a few minutes and respond to some of your comments from last week

00:25:33.000 when I interviewed the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms, President John Carpe,

00:25:38.440 who is just a brilliant scholar in his field. I really enjoyed having him on the show to share his

00:25:43.640 insight on digital IDs. I reported last week that the federal government and federal bureaucrats are

00:25:48.600 quietly working on a plan to develop a national digital ID system. You guys are definitely going

00:25:54.280 to want to go check out that episode if you haven't yet. The first comment said, do not comply. So there

00:26:00.200 was a lot of comments that basically said, do not comply. I think if it was a situation where we were to

00:26:06.520 actually see a digital credential system being pushed across the country, that would be a time for us to

00:26:12.040 get rid of our smartphones. Like that would be a time for us to be like, oh, sorry, you know, I don't have a

00:26:16.600 smartphone. I can't access those types of things. Sort of like when you go into a store and they don't

00:26:21.560 allow you to pay with cash, like I'm very often tempted to leave. And if I can get the specific

00:26:26.760 thing I'm looking for someone out somewhere else, I typically will leave. You know, for cash is one

00:26:32.440 of those things, if you don't use it, you're going to lose it. And then they're going to usher in this

00:26:36.280 age of people only having credit cards. And that will further bolster a digital ID system where

00:26:41.480 everything that you do is tied to your digital ID, even to the point where your credit cards could be

00:26:46.360 turned off and you wouldn't be allowed to buy certain things. Such as, for example, if they

00:26:49.880 start following your carbon footprint, oh, well, you've bought too much, your carbon footprint is

00:26:55.240 too high this year. Sorry, we're going to turn off your ability to buy anything else until your carbon

00:27:00.520 footprint is a little bit lower. That's sort of the fear with a digital ID. And so when people talk

00:27:06.280 about do not comply, I think if it were ever to the point that we had to, I think people would need to

00:27:10.280 be willing to give up, you know, a lot of their technology, a lot of the luxuries that we have today

00:27:15.640 to ensure that we are not essentially forced to live like slaves to the federal government.

00:27:21.400 Something I always think is funny is like for parking nowadays, like when you're in the city

00:27:25.080 and you have to pay for parking basically everywhere now seems to have gotten a lot worse.

00:27:29.000 I feel like when I was growing up, it was like occasion, the occasional time you'd have to pay

00:27:32.200 for parking in the city. Now it's basically everywhere you go. And even in smaller municipalities

00:27:36.920 that have no business paying for charging people to pay for parking, you have to pay for parking.

00:27:41.160 I think it's something that I saw a lot of places usher in during COVID probably to make

00:27:46.440 up some of the money that they lost having so many of their services being closed. But it just

00:27:51.400 bothers me. And nowadays, so often you have to pay on your iPhone or like you have to pay on your

00:27:56.680 smartphone. And I always think about like, what about the old people that don't have smartphones?

00:28:00.840 My grandparents certainly don't have smartphones. I'm always kind of tempted to just be like,

00:28:04.360 oh, no smartphone. I can't pay. But I usually risk not paying when I park in the city anyways.

00:28:11.000 Don't do that in Calgary. In Calgary, they're like always there really quickly. Not worth it.

00:28:17.160 Okay. And then someone else commented on our last week's episode, is Trudeau trying to lose? That's

00:28:22.920 the question that I keep asking myself. And even with a story like today, like the liberal government,

00:28:28.680 it would be so easy for them to prepare a comprehensive response to Canadians anxieties

00:28:34.440 about illegal migration being even worse than it already is because of Trump's plans to deport

00:28:40.280 illegals. It would be too easy for them to come up with a comprehensive plan to address those anxieties. 0.83

00:28:46.360 And with there being so much concern about migration, I think that would really help them

00:28:50.600 in the poll numbers. For any liberal pundit who's listening to me right now, Christia Freeland,

00:28:55.720 this is something that you could do that would actually help your case. If Canadians 0.50

00:28:59.480 saw what you were doing and said, oh, the liberal government's actually taking immigration seriously,

00:29:03.160 and they're not going to let our country be overrun by migrants trying to escape 0.98

00:29:06.840 Trump's deportation. That is something that Canadians could get behind. But the liberals won't do it

00:29:12.200 because it's something that actually impacts Canadians, something that Canadians actually care about.

00:29:16.280 And they don't have any interest in making policies to benefit you or I. Often seems more like they are

00:29:23.480 trying to drive this country into the dump, if you ask me. I say the same thing about the Alberta

00:29:31.000 government, like obviously fairly popular right now, but I think a really easy thing a Danielle Smith 1.00

00:29:36.520 government could do to improve her popularity among her base and among the general population is to do

00:29:43.000 some of those tax breaks that we were promised when she ran during the provincial election here in 2023.

00:29:49.480 We were promised an income tax break. We were promised relief at the fuel pumps. We haven't

00:29:54.680 seen either of those things. And it's such an easy policy to push for that would be so popular. But

00:29:58.920 I think they're just unable to do it because of how much the Alberta government is spending right now.

00:30:03.000 Seems like the politicians often miss the most obvious things.

00:30:06.840 All right, everyone, that's all we have time for today. Don't forget to let me know in the comment

00:30:11.000 section below what you think the liberal government will do. Are they going to take this threat seriously?

00:30:16.200 Are they going to welcome migrants into Canada and expect you, the taxpayer, to pay for their security, 0.97

00:30:23.160 food and hotels? I will see you guys next week. I hope that you have a great rest of your week and God bless.
