Mark Slapinski

00:00:00.000 Good news, Patriots. After one Conservative MP crossed the aisle last week and another announced

00:00:05.260 his resignation, Paulyev has bounced back and now he's on track with a burning vendetta.

00:00:10.820 Let's watch him give Carney a series of love taps. Don't forget to stick around to the end

00:00:14.700 for some commentary. Let's go.

00:00:30.000 He delivered his paper. I also got a chance to work at the Calgary Stamp. He worked over at

00:00:35.140 Telus Communications. And my story is I was raised by a couple of school teachers. And you know why

00:00:42.580 my memories of that time growing up in the 80s and the 90s is that though we didn't have a ton of

00:00:47.980 money and we went through hard times like everyone did, particularly in the early 80s, we always had

00:00:53.140 enough for meat and potatoes on the dinner table. We had a nice house in the suburbs with our own

00:00:58.140 yard, our own dog. I was even able to, my folks were able to save up enough to get me registered

00:01:03.960 for hockey in my early, my late, around 12 or 13 years old, a little too late to make the NHL.

00:01:11.900 But so I had to settle for politics. But the great thing was above and beyond all of the particulars

00:01:18.180 of our material existence was the promise for the future, the hope. My folks always told me,

00:01:23.380 you want it, you work for it, and you can have it. That's the great thing about Canada. If you

00:01:28.120 work hard, you get a great life. And I think my friends, Jaz Raj Singh Halan, Del Winder Gill,

00:01:33.080 Pat Kelly, Amon Preet Gill, David McKenzie, all have similar stories from their childhoods in this

00:01:38.460 area. And I know, for example, Jaz grew up here. I think you were, was it Bonesse or?

00:01:45.280 It was in the Northeast, Whitehorn.

00:01:46.940 Whitehorn and grew up modest means, but was able to get a great education, start his own business,

00:01:52.260 build homes and have a great career. And now is the pride of his entire community. And I think every one

00:01:57.880 of these MPs can share the same story. That was the deal in Canada. But that deal is broken after

00:02:03.120 10 years of liberal inflation. They've doubled housing costs, doubled lineups at food banks.

00:02:08.040 And what do you know, that coincided with them doubling the national debt. When you, when you

00:02:12.580 borrow and print money, you drive up the cost of everything and destroy the working class. Now, 0.97

00:02:17.160 for the first time in the history of Canada, our young people cannot afford homes. We have an entire

00:02:22.860 generation of youth who believe they will never be able to afford a place to live. Food bank lineups

00:02:29.640 are up to 2.2 million. CBC was trying to comfort us just yesterday with a news story saying, Hey,

00:02:35.800 good news. You can get more affordable food. If you go to this special shopping mart where they sell

00:02:41.240 you food that's passed the best before date. So now you can buy rotten food and it's, and you'll be

00:02:47.140 able to afford it. So that is the CBC solution to liberal food price inflation, which gets worse and

00:02:55.580 worse every single day. Now 20% of Canadians are skipping bills because they have to put the money

00:03:02.200 to higher grocery costs. This is the unnecessary result of liberal policies. And before we go

00:03:09.240 blaming some exterior factor, let's be clear. Food prices in Canada are rising 50% faster than in the

00:03:15.460 United States. We are the only country, according to the food professor that has had four consecutive

00:03:21.380 quarters of food prices rising faster than the bank of Canada's target. This after Mark Carney promised,

00:03:28.560 promised that he would be judged by the prices at the grocery store. Well, so much for that promise.

00:03:34.800 He's broken every single promise he made. He promised the fastest growing economy in the G7. He's

00:03:40.440 delivered the fastest shrinking economy. He promised that he would negotiate a win and a deal with Trump

00:03:46.540 by July 21st. Still no win, still no deal, still no elbows, still no jobs. He promised to double

00:03:53.980 home building. Home building is expected to drop by 13%. He promised that we would have develop our

00:04:00.840 resources and increase investment. According to his own budget documents, investment has dropped in

00:04:06.480 every one of the quarters since he became prime minister eight months ago. He promised that he

00:04:12.980 would spend less. And of course, that is the biggest broken promise at all. We now see Carney's

00:04:18.140 costly credit card budget. He doubles Trudeau's deficit. It's almost unthinkable. No one thought

00:04:26.040 anyone could spend more money than Justin Trudeau. But Mark Carney said, hold my beer. And he came along

00:04:34.140 with a deficit that is twice the size of the one that Justin Trudeau left behind. A deficit of $78

00:04:41.080 billion is the biggest in history outside of COVID. $16 billion bigger than Carney promised during the

00:04:48.400 election. It is almost all due to increased spending, not due to tariffs from abroad. In fact, Mr. Carney has

00:04:56.940 brought in $150 billion of new spending and offset by the promised savings that he says he will achieve

00:05:04.560 over the next four, five years. It's a net increase of $90 billion. Almost all of it is on operating

00:05:12.040 expenditures, not on capital investments. This is the, with a doubling deficit, the biggest non-COVID

00:05:20.320 deficit in Canadian history. Mark Carney has introduced a credit card budget that will drive up your cost of

00:05:28.400 food, housing, and fuel. And that is why conservatives unanimously oppose it. Furthermore, the costly Carney

00:05:37.360 credit card budget will also increase taxes on farmers, food, and home building. So you got an industrial carbon

00:05:46.400 tax, which the budget proposes to raise. Well, that applies. I was just, Jay Stetler the other day,

00:05:51.980 yesterday, and saw all the steel that goes into farming on the tractors, the combines, the bins,

00:06:00.640 the barns. All of that will become more expensive because of Carney's carbon tax, which he promises to more

00:06:07.600 than double in this budget. Carney's industrial carbon tax on farmers is a tax on your food.

00:06:13.520 That same carbon tax will apply to steel, aluminum, glass, concrete, cement, and other home building

00:06:25.680 supplies. I have a former home builder here in Jasraj Halan, and he can tell you that when you tax the

00:06:34.960 things that go into homes, you tax homes. The industrial carbon tax of Mark Carney is a tax on homes,

00:06:41.040 a tax on food and homes. Why don't you tell us what that will mean to the cost of a new home, Jas?

00:06:48.560 Thanks, Cedar. After 10 years of this Liberal government, home ownership is unattainable.

00:06:55.280 You can ask any of the young Canadians where a majority of them have just given up on home ownership

00:06:59.680 altogether. This country used to be a place where certainly my family when we moved here, and subsequent

00:07:06.000 years after that, even as a home builder, until the Liberals took over, one income could get you

00:07:12.720 a good living. You would be able to scrap money together and save up for a down payment. But after

00:07:17.920 10 years of the Liberals, all of that is gone. That Canadian dream of being able to owning a home,

00:07:23.040 raising a family, it's all gone. And it's because the cost of everything has just skyrocketed,

00:07:29.920 and this budget does nothing for home building that's going to improve it. As the leader said,

00:07:36.000 by introducing this industrial carbon tax from before and promising to raise the price on that,

00:07:42.000 the more input costs into the home building is only going to make things worse. On top of all that,

00:07:47.440 this is the same Liberal government that spent about $90 billion they committed to home building,

00:07:53.520 only to double home home costs, housing costs. And now they're creating a fourth bureaucracy. The

00:08:00.000 first three got us to this point. It's unfathomable that they would create a fourth bureaucracy to make

00:08:05.120 home building slow down even worse. In fact, their own housing agency has said that home building starts

00:08:11.760 are going to decrease this year and next year. And that is scary because that Canadian dream that everyone

00:08:18.560 wants to be able to own a home is going to be unattainable. As a former home builder, we need

00:08:23.440 to get the bureaucracy out of the way. We need to lower the government costs and make sure that

00:08:28.640 builders are able to build, buyers are able to buy. But today under the Liberals, after 10 years,

00:08:33.600 builders can't build, buyers can't buy, and sellers can't sell. Only a Conservative government under

00:08:39.040 Pierre Polyev will fire those gatekeepers and make sure home building is attainable so we can bring back

00:08:44.720 that Canadian dream where Canada is affordable and safe once again.

00:08:48.880 Way to go. Thank you. And if you don't believe Jazz and I, then listen to the Home Building

00:08:53.840 Association itself, BUILD, B-I-L-T, out of Toronto. I'm quoting them to say,

00:09:00.480 What was once a promise to deliver 500,000 new homes annually has now become a plan that will cost 100,000

00:09:08.160 jobs. Canadians are now facing the prospect of a worsening crisis that will impact housing supply

00:09:14.480 employment, economic activity, and ultimately middle-class families. So this budget, which

00:09:21.040 increases home building taxes, risks 100,000 home building jobs, according to the people who

00:09:27.760 actually build homes. I have here a quote from Fitch Budget. Fitch, the credit rating agency,

00:09:35.600 and they say that this deficit, which Mark Carney has doubled, will now threaten our credit rating.

00:09:43.200 Let me just bring in the Chair of our Shadow Cabinet Economic Affairs Subcommittee,

00:09:49.200 Small Businessman and Member of Parliament, Pat Kelly.

00:09:54.800 Well, thank you, Pierre. This budget does nothing to deal with the cost of living crisis that

00:10:02.080 Canadians are enduring right now because it just piles on more debt that fuels the inflation that is

00:10:09.120 driving up the cost of living at $78.3 billion. This is nearly double the deficit that less than a year

00:10:17.440 ago was considered to be so high that it precipitated a crisis in the resignation of the last finance

00:10:23.680 minister. So what was an unthinkably high deficit less than a year ago, the new prime minister has nearly

00:10:32.640 doubled. And this is just going to drive up the cost of living, driving up inflation. We had expert

00:10:39.520 testimony at the Finance Committee last week that talked about the break glass emergency of productivity

00:10:48.240 in Canada. And low productivity means higher cost of living. It means that people cannot, their paychecks are

00:10:58.000 not keeping up with the higher cost of living. Canada's productivity is at the bottom of the OECD.

00:11:03.840 Our per capita GDP over the 10-year period of this government has not increased. We are at the bottom

00:11:12.000 of the OECD and the G7 for per capita GDP over this time period. And there's no relief for, there's no solution

00:11:19.920 for the productivity crisis in this budget. There are no meaningful fiscal anchors because this

00:11:28.160 government breaks every fiscal anchor that it ever assigns to itself. So this budget is not a solution.

00:11:35.600 And conservatives like Pierre Polyev have been sounding the alarm bell for years on this.

00:11:40.960 Thank you, Pat. And again, if you don't believe Pat and I, then you'll believe Fitch, which said

00:11:45.120 Canada's proposed budget announced in parliament November 4th underscores the erosion of the federal

00:11:49.440 government's finances. While Canada's rating is broadly stable, persistent fiscal expansion and

00:11:54.480 a rising debt burden have weakened its credit profile and could increase rating pressure over

00:12:00.160 the medium term. The budget expands the forecast federal deficit to $78.3 billion. General government

00:12:07.120 deficits of 3.3% of GDP, which is higher than the AA median of 2.3 and substantially higher than the

00:12:16.560 Canada's pre-pandemic deficits, which averaged 0.4 in the prior decades. And finally, it says that

00:12:25.360 combined with the sizable non-budgetary financing needs, the higher deficit will substantially increase

00:12:31.760 general government debt, which is forecast to be 92% of GDP in 2025, up from 88.6 in 2024, before

00:12:42.160 accelerating to 98.5% by 2027, nearly double the forecast AA medium of 49.6. Now, those are a lot

00:12:51.520 of numbers, but let's cut right down to it. To be a AA-rated country, on average, your debt to GDP is

00:13:00.000 49.6%. Carney's on track to bring ours to nearly 100%. In other words, our debt as a share of GDP will be

00:13:08.800 almost twice the size of the average AA country. That's the kind of fiscal mess that Mark Carney

00:13:15.360 and the Liberals are creating. He's gone from promising to be a brilliant economist to being the

00:13:21.920 most costly, reckless, and risky prime minister in Canadian history. And that is why conservatives

00:13:28.480 will oppose it. But we not only oppose, we propose. Our proposal is to cut bureaucracy, consultants,

00:13:35.600 foreign aid, corporate welfare, handouts to phony refugees, and other wasted money,

00:13:41.840 so we can bring down debt, taxes, and inflation. We would get rid of the industrial carbon tax to

00:13:47.680 unlock the industrial engine of our nation and to reduce the price of everything made with steel,

00:13:55.520 aluminum, cement, concrete, glass. That is everything that we buy. We will cap government spending for a

00:14:02.160 dollar-for-dollar law requiring we find one dollar of savings for every new dollar of spending.

00:14:07.280 We'll make this the fastest place on earth to get a building permit, repeal the anti-energy laws,

00:14:12.480 use the powers in C5 to rapidly approve a pipeline to the Pacific so we can get a million barrels of oil

00:14:20.320 to Asia every single day. We will get rid of the capital gains tax on anyone who reinvests their money

00:14:26.560 in Canada to bring home the half-trillion dollars of net investment that Mark Hardy and the Liberals

00:14:31.680 have sent fleeing to the United States of America. We will cut income tax so hard work pays off. We will

00:14:37.520 get rid of all home-building taxes, not only to provide affordable homes to the next generation,

00:14:42.720 but also to bring back the hundred thousand trades jobs so carpenters can swing hammers, framers can frame

00:14:49.440 homes, loggers can harvest lumber, and we can build a tariff-proof industry back to life in this country.

00:14:59.440 That is how we restore the promise that I enjoyed as a young Calgary kid. Delivering the sun door-to-door

00:15:06.480 in my adolescence is how we're going to give every single kid in this country the opportunity that we

00:15:11.360 had. We're going to have opportunity and freedom for our youth, home ownership for our families,

00:15:18.880 and of course security for our wonderful seniors. That is our vision, our hopeful future, and now

00:15:25.920 let's get it done. Thank you very much. Now I speak for a lot of conservatives when I say I'm very proud

00:15:29.920 of Polyev for bouncing back. That speech I just showed you had a mix of humor as well as a dose of cold

00:15:35.680 hard facts. If anybody ever doted Polyev's oratory abilities or his leadership potential, I would encourage

00:15:42.720 them to go back, watch that speech again, and pay closer attention. Let's face it, last week was

00:15:48.720 terrible. Conservative MP Chris D'Entremont crossed the aisle in an act of betrayal and another MP

00:15:55.200 announced his resignation, all during budget week, which is very suspicious timing and I'm pretty sure,

00:16:01.280 I'm pretty sure Carney planned that in advance. He's a sneaky dude. Now the good news is that there

00:16:06.240 doesn't appear to be any more floor crossings, at least right now, so fingers crossed it stays that way.

00:16:12.160 And also, the narrative that the mainstream media was trying to push last week, that Polyev was somehow

00:16:17.440 toxic, was obviously baloney. Baloney is a funny word, but it fits here. If you think Polyev is toxic,

00:16:24.720 that's a you problem. That's a you problem. I don't find Polyev toxic at all. I find him very likable,

00:16:31.600 and I like it when he's a bit spicy. I think a lot of people, especially conservatives, like the spice.

00:16:36.560 I'd like to actually see more spice. I truly believe the only reason Polyev lost the last election was

00:16:41.440 because of Trump. If Trump shut his big mouth last election, we'd have Polyev in office, 0.92

00:16:46.400 and things would be better for both countries. The good news is that by the time there's another

00:16:50.320 election, Trump will be long out of Canadians' minds, and liberals won't be able to use him as

00:16:55.200 a way to scare people away from the conservatives. We need change and we need it fast. Unfortunately,

00:17:00.080 I think Carney's going to stick around for a little bit, but I don't think he's going to be in office that

00:17:03.920 long. I now predict that he'll be out of office within six months. Minority governments never last 1.00

00:17:08.880 in Canada, and I don't think Carney's government is going to be an exception. As long as we have

00:17:13.280 no more floor crossings, no more betrayals, you should be good. We just got to give Mark Carney

00:17:18.240 a little bit more time to screw up. Once Canadians come to terms with how bad his budget is, and how

00:17:23.760 Mark Carney has failed every promise he ever made to Canadians, then they'll turn on him, and that's when

00:17:29.040 we can call an election and get Polyev into office. Once again, have some patience,

00:17:33.360 have some faith. My voice is slowly coming back, and I should be at full speed either tomorrow

00:17:38.400 or on Friday, so stick around for that. Once again, thanks for tuning in.

00:17:42.560 I love you all. Have a great night. Talk to you tomorrow, Patriots.
