Juno News - Trudeau PANICS as support collapses in EAST, suspends carbon tax

00:00:00.000 Well after what feels like years of

00:00:08.460 public campaigns and calls on the

00:00:10.200 federal government to drop the carbon

00:00:12.080 tax on struggling Canadians, Justin

00:00:14.280 Trudeau and the Liberal government have

00:00:15.880 finally relented. For one part of the

00:00:18.360 country. The part of the country that

00:00:20.220 always votes liberal. Which really

00:00:22.500 shouldn't surprise anybody because that

00:00:23.940 appears to be how governing is done

00:00:25.560 these days. Good things happen to those

00:00:27.360 that vote for the government and for

00:00:29.160 those that don't well pretty much

00:00:31.200 nothing and in the case of the prairies

00:00:33.180 in this country things get substantially

00:00:34.740 worse when you don't vote for the

00:00:37.080 Liberals. After all why do anything to try

00:00:39.540 and win over new voters when you can just

00:00:41.700 continue to divide the population over

00:00:43.440 regional lines. The Liberals have suspended

00:00:45.960 the carbon tax on home heating oil which

00:00:48.120 is one of the primary methods of heating

00:00:49.740 the homes of Atlantic Canadians during

00:00:51.300 the winter. Meanwhile for context only

00:00:53.640 2% of Ontario homes rely on home heating

00:00:56.040 oil and the rest of the country relies on

00:00:58.260 propane and natural gas to keep warm

00:01:00.780 during the winter. But of course he's

00:01:02.580 only doing this to try and save his own

00:01:04.260 political skin while forcing the rest of

00:01:06.120 the country to shell out more money for

00:01:08.020 an unnecessary tax just to keep

00:01:09.900 themselves and their families warm

00:01:11.220 during the winter. Trudeau is down in the

00:01:12.840 polls and he seems to be desperately

00:01:14.700 looking for ways to try and stay in

00:01:16.200 power. Now if climate change were really

00:01:17.940 that much of a threat you would think

00:01:19.560 that Justin Trudeau's key environmental

00:01:21.380 policy to stop climate change would be

00:01:23.940 non-negotiable. But when it comes down to his

00:01:25.980 own political survival it looks as though

00:01:28.200 everything is on the table. Drop a like

00:01:30.360 in the video help us up with subscribing

00:01:31.740 to the TrueNorth YouTube channel and the

00:01:33.420 common question for the episode is this

00:01:35.480 will Justin Trudeau drop the carbon tax for

00:01:39.060 propane and natural gas if his polling

00:01:41.640 continues to decline? Let me know in the

00:01:43.560 comments and let's get into it. For those

00:01:45.300 that missed it on Friday here is the

00:01:47.160 moment that Justin Trudeau had to back

00:01:48.940 down on a key environmental policy driving

00:01:52.360 his agenda for the last seven to eight

00:01:54.300 years. Today we are announcing a three

00:01:57.840 year pause on the federal pollution price

00:02:00.920 on heating oil so that we can give

00:02:03.340 everyone the time and ability to switch

00:02:07.640 to heat pumps. Now for whatever reason

00:02:09.840 the liberals have tried to play this off

00:02:11.660 as though it's some victory. It's some

00:02:13.680 policy win when in reality it's an obvious

00:02:16.080 failure. At the core of this the liberals

00:02:18.140 have had to reconcile with the fact that

00:02:20.180 the carbon tax they were imposing on

00:02:21.920 Canadians was simply unaffordable. But

00:02:24.100 instead of actually helping Canadians 0.82

00:02:26.000 the liberals had to play politics with

00:02:28.280 the issue and find a way to benefit those

00:02:30.340 that vote for them and to punish those

00:02:32.400 that don't. According to the government's

00:02:34.360 own data 70 percent of households in

00:02:37.000 Manitoba rely on forced air furnaces

00:02:39.900 using natural gas and 82 percent of homes

00:02:42.780 in Alberta use the same system. Meanwhile

00:02:45.540 40 percent of homes in Atlantic Canada rely

00:02:48.480 on home heating oil. Thanks to Chris Simms

00:02:50.860 and Gage Halbrich in the Edmonton Sun we

00:02:53.200 know exactly what this carbon tax would

00:02:55.260 cost Atlantic Canadians if the liberals

00:02:57.620 didn't suspend the carbon tax on home

00:02:59.980 heating oil and we know exactly what it's

00:03:02.100 still going to cost the rest of the

00:03:03.740 country who use natural gas and propane

00:03:06.260 to heat their homes during the winter.

00:03:07.980 According to the Edmonton Sun the average

00:03:09.880 household in Atlantic Canada uses about

00:03:12.020 1600 liters of furnace oil per year. That

00:03:14.840 means the carbon tax would cost about 272

00:03:17.460 dollars extra for winter heat. An average

00:03:20.020 Alberta home uses about 2800 cubic meters

00:03:23.480 of natural gas per year. So the carbon tax

00:03:26.120 will cost Albertans about 337 extra dollars

00:03:30.220 to heat their home. Saskatchewan homes use

00:03:32.560 about 2244 cubic meters of natural gas

00:03:36.160 costing 269 dollars extra in the carbon

00:03:39.160 tax per year and homes in Manitoba go

00:03:41.720 through about 1989 cubic meters of natural

00:03:45.020 gas costing about 238 dollars more for the

00:03:48.820 winter. As I said before the carbon tax is

00:03:51.400 Justin Trudeau's way of trying to solve

00:03:54.120 climate change in this country. He was

00:03:56.160 going to solve climate change by punishing

00:03:58.600 hard-working Canadians for daring to heat

00:04:01.200 their homes the way they always have in the

00:04:03.660 harsh Canadian winter. From driving to work

00:04:05.800 and putting food on the table for their

00:04:07.520 families. But as it now appears with most

00:04:10.260 announcements from the Liberal government even

00:04:12.360 the once loyal legacy media can see right

00:04:15.640 through the politics of everything the

00:04:17.960 government is doing and even they aren't

00:04:20.300 afraid to call the Liberals out to their

00:04:21.780 faces. Something once we all thought

00:04:23.880 unimaginable. For example take a look at

00:04:26.420 this interview between Vashi Capellos of

00:04:28.600 CTV and the Liberal World Economic

00:04:31.640 Development Minister Goody Hutchings

00:04:33.660 discussing this carbon tax exemption. She does a

00:04:36.720 little more than letting the mask slip here I

00:04:38.560 think. Is it because you've seen such a drop

00:04:41.020 in your polling numbers particularly in

00:04:42.820 Atlantic Canada? I think the abacus poll in 0.96

00:04:45.460 June put the Liberals at 36 percent. By

00:04:47.860 September you were down to 30 percent. The

00:04:49.860 Conservatives at 32 percent in June were up

00:04:51.940 to 43 percent in September. Is this just

00:04:54.940 responding to that? Vashi this isn't about

00:04:55.780 polls it's about people. And if you know

00:04:59.340 Vashi this isn't about polls this is about

00:05:01.140 people. And if you looked at the polls in

00:05:02.800 2015 you would have seen that we were in

00:05:04.460 third place. I don't pay any attention to

00:05:06.180 polls but I do pay attention to constituents

00:05:08.520 and people. Is your government open to

00:05:10.440 because of the affordability crisis right

00:05:12.720 across this country looking at other

00:05:14.100 carve outs for other types of home

00:05:15.660 heating in the future? That's a discussion

00:05:17.940 that we'll have down the road when we know

00:05:19.320 that this one is working. But I can tell

00:05:21.440 you Atlantic Caucus was vocal with what

00:05:24.240 they've heard from their constituents and

00:05:26.580 perhaps they need to elect more Liberals on

00:05:28.920 the prairies that we can have that

00:05:30.140 conversation as well. Perhaps they need to

00:05:32.560 elect more Liberals on the prairies. And it's

00:05:34.180 safe to say that Canadians are pretty fired 1.00

00:05:36.280 up in the comments section of this

00:05:38.000 interview. It's always about polls. That is

00:05:40.480 why the Liberals ignore Western Canada.

00:05:42.760 Electing more Liberals in the prairies is

00:05:44.360 like allowing criminals into your house to

00:05:45.960 help them in preventing break-ins. She was

00:05:47.900 honest in saying only Liberal ridings get

00:05:49.960 help. Every voice in Canada should be heard

00:05:52.360 not just Liberal voters. Polling equals

00:05:55.280 walkbacks. How about Eastern Canada get real

00:05:57.900 and elect more Conservative MPs instead of

00:05:59.700 aloof Liberals so Canada gets back to being 0.97

00:06:02.560 prosperous and caring about the citizens. And

00:06:05.040 just to dive into the polling data briefly, the

00:06:07.240 situation for the Liberals in Atlantic Canada is

00:06:09.940 not looking good. Remember that in 2015, Justin

00:06:12.860 Trudeau and the Liberals completely swept

00:06:15.440 Atlantic Canada, taking all the seats in the

00:06:18.460 region. According to the latest polling from

00:06:20.480 338, of the 32 available seats in Atlantic

00:06:23.440 Canada, the Conservatives are poised to take 22 of

00:06:26.740 them. The popular vote projection for

00:06:28.720 Conservatives is at 41% to the Liberals down at

00:06:31.760 33%. And from the beginning of 2023 to where we

00:06:35.820 are today, the Liberals have been in freefall mode. And

00:06:39.440 Pierre Polyev knows it. Justin Trudeau is in total

00:06:44.080 panic mode. After eight years of telling Canadians they

00:06:50.540 had to pay higher carbon taxes on gas, heat and

00:06:56.020 groceries, he admitted that his carbon tax is not worth the

00:07:00.260 cost of heat. Now what caused this sudden press conference

00:07:05.940 that he cobbled together on Parliament Hill with little

00:07:10.500 notice? What caused Justin Trudeau to freak out yesterday and

00:07:15.300 hold a sudden press conference to announce that he was going to

00:07:20.180 pause the carbon tax on home heating oil? The answer is that

00:07:27.060 he was plummeting in the polls and Pierre Polyev was holding

00:07:31.300 massive rallies in Liberal held ridings to axe the tax. Justin

00:07:37.300 Trudeau is not worried about the cost of living. He's worried about the cost of

00:07:41.860 votes. At some point, someone should ask the question, would the Liberal

00:07:45.780 government be doing anything differently if their sole objective was to drive

00:07:50.420 resentment from the West to strengthen separatist sentiment across the

00:07:54.500 prairies in this country? Whether it be plowing ahead with unconstitutional

00:07:58.180 laws that limit provincial sovereignty over natural resources to impose the so-called

00:08:03.220 just transition on Alberta and the prairies, and now to this, explicitly

00:08:08.580 exempting Atlantic provinces from the carbon tax while forcing Albertans and

00:08:12.580 the rest of the country to pay up, is because the political fortunes of

00:08:16.100 Liberals in the East seems to be in trouble. As many have already pointed out, this is

00:08:20.260 nothing but a slap in the face to hard-working Western Canadians, only 0.99

00:08:23.780 serving to hurt the pocketbooks of Western Canadians while also driving

00:08:28.100 separatist sentiment. And it's also more clear now than ever before that

00:08:32.420 climate change is nothing but a political tool for progressive politicians, to be

00:08:36.900 used and tweaked to gain the greatest political outcome, not to actually do

00:08:40.740 anything for the environment. It always was political, and always will be

00:08:44.340 political, because if climate change were really that existential to Canada,

00:08:47.620 we wouldn't be in the position where Trudeau was handing out exemptions to

00:08:50.740 those that vote for him. Alright everyone, that's going to do it for us today on

00:08:53.540 the show. Thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Harrison Faulkner, and this is

00:08:57.220 рекi's Ratio.
