00:00:00.000 In his column in yesterday's National Post, Conrad Black called what this government is trying to do a form of oppression.
00:00:14.000 He attacked their position, stated in the throne speech, to saddle the country with oppressive debt for generations simply because global interest rates are low.
00:00:25.000 In the first four years, the Liberals managed to spend us into fiscal oblivion. Last October, they went back to Canadians to ask for another term.
00:00:37.000 The campaign was all based on rhetoric, half-truths and, well, typical nonsense.
00:00:44.000 Fortunately, enough Canadians saw through the nonsense and did not give the Liberals a second majority government.
00:00:51.000 But, they did gain a minority government and the spending escalated at a mind-boggling pace, underlining Conrad Black's point.
00:01:03.000 But, even with the minority government, the Prime Minister is doing his level best to act as a dictator, not a parliamentarian.
00:01:12.000 He tried to use the COVID-19 pandemic to neuter Parliament for nearly two years to December of 2021, so he had unfettered ability to do whatever he wanted.
00:01:23.000 Fortunately, the grown-ups in Parliament, led by Andrew Scheer, stopped that.
00:01:28.000 Yet, with the support of Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP, the Prime Minister still does what he wants, as though they have a majority government instead of governing with the consent of Parliament.
00:01:42.000 The Federal Government, last month, put out a request for proposal, an RFP, for a private company to monitor social media.
00:01:51.000 To what end, we don't really know.
00:01:54.000 The Prime Minister did say, in May of 2019, that if social media platforms don't address disinformation, there will, quote,
00:02:02.000 will be meaningful financial consequences, unquote.
00:02:06.000 Now, why would any government want that other than to try and take action against anyone overtly critical of that government?
00:02:15.000 In the interim, our incredibly incompetent government has raised the national debt to a jaw-dropping $1.41 trillion.
00:02:24.000 Trillion!
00:02:25.000 Our national debt is adding nearly $400 billion a year for the foreseeable future.
00:02:30.000 But it's not enough for this government.
00:02:33.000 This week, the Prime Minister announced further spending of $10 billion to piss away on pie-in-the-sky green energy projects,
00:02:42.000 which he and Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna breathlessly announced would create 60,000 jobs.
00:02:49.000 Last month in the throne speech, the government promised one million jobs in the coronavirus pandemic recovery.
00:02:57.000 The stupidity in those statements is just astounding.
00:03:01.000 Governments do not create any job except for government jobs on the government payroll.
00:03:07.000 And Trudeau has done lots of that.
00:03:10.000 Governments need to get out of the way and let the private sector do what they do to create jobs.
00:03:17.000 Anything else is simply government stupidity usually resulting in the subsidization of favored industries,
00:03:25.000 much to the chagrin of the taxpayer.
00:03:28.000 The problem is that the taxpayers in the private sector have to pay the freight for all of this
00:03:34.000 in this stumbling post-pandemic economy.
00:03:38.000 Now, I expect little out of a liberal government, and I always get it.
00:03:43.000 But never as little as this particular incompetent government has shown us.
00:03:48.000 For True North, I'm Leo Knight.
00:03:51.000 Let's pray.
00:03:53.000 Let's pray.
00:04:00.000 '
