The Mark Carney Liberals are allegedly surging in the polls, and why? It s Wednesday, March 11, 2026, and next month will mark the one year anniversary of the Mark Carney Liberal's winning the federal election.
00:01:12.260Hard to believe, but next month will mark the one-year anniversary of the Mark Carney liberals winning the federal election.
00:01:20.160I guess time also flies when you're not having fun.
00:01:24.120And wow, did so many Canadians, especially those in the baby boomer demographic, fall for the hype and the bluster and the false promises of Mark Carney.
00:01:35.820You know, that he'd be the adult in the room when negotiating with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding trade deals.
00:01:42.780And that Carney would be the strongman when dealing with that existential threat known as China.
00:01:50.580And some 11 months later, well, still no trade deal in sight with our largest trading partner.
00:01:56.200Maybe because Carney seems to go out of his way to incense President Trump from recognizing the fake state of Palestine to taking five, yes, count them, five positions on the Iranian war in the span of five days.
00:02:12.500As for China, ooh, all is forgiven, it would seem.
00:02:16.180China is no longer that existential threat anymore, but a potential trading partner.
00:02:23.440Indeed, cheap Chinese EVs are headed to our once great dominion in the months ahead.
00:02:29.000And folks, there's a steak dinner in it for you if you can explain to me how importing El Cheapo spy cars from China will somehow help our struggling domestic auto industry.
00:02:43.780Oh, and just yesterday, it was announced that TikTok shall indeed continue to operate in Canada, business as usual, under Chinese ownership.
00:03:32.700Alas and alack, in the Department of Perverse Irony, it's too bad Mike Myers, who is himself a boomer, of course, also fell for Carney's pitch, hook, line, and stinker.
00:03:44.380But let me ask you, Mr. Prime Minister, will there always be a Canada?
00:04:07.460The fact is, when it comes to Mark Carney, it's been all talk and no cattle, as they say out west.
00:04:14.020And yet, inexplicably, folks, polls indicate that the Carney liberals are surging.
00:04:18.960A few days ago, 338canada.ca noted that federal polls in the past week have shown continued momentum for the liberals.
00:04:29.480The website notes, quote, the always much-anticipated poll from Leger, published by the National Post last week, confirmed recent trends in favor of the liberals.
00:04:42.960Translation, if an election were held today, the liberals would capture 49% of the vote versus 35% for the conservatives.
00:04:53.260Meanwhile, Jagmeet Singh's scorched-earth policy to acquire a swank pension, well, it's garnering predictable results, which is to say the NDP is now an irrelevant party, attracting just 5% of the vote.
00:05:08.020And might even be completely wiped out in the next election.
00:05:14.500No, I'm not saying this because I'm a Marxist, folks, but a weak NDP is never good news for conservatives, as the party discovered last election.
00:05:24.800And when you analyze the polling region by region, a dire picture emerges, especially in the seat-rich provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
00:05:35.420In Ontario, if you believe the data, the liberals are ahead of the conservatives, 52% to 36%.
00:05:43.220In Quebec, the liberals are ahead 48% to 20%.
00:05:47.820In fact, the conservatives are still mired in third place in La Belle-Provence after the bloc.
00:05:55.260And if these numbers are accurate, this is ominous.
00:05:58.820It makes me wonder, are Canadians so polite we're all about truly rewarding failure?
00:06:07.100You know, kind of like how a football team in the CFL gets one point for a missed field goal?
00:08:27.520Ted notes that so far this year alone, the liberals have handed out permanent residency to more than 1,000 people per day.
00:08:37.680Millions of people who are supposed to be leaving will instead be having anchor babies, much like Jaskarit Singh Siddhu.
00:08:46.520He's the truck driver who destroyed so many lives when he blew through a stop sign in Saskatchewan and collided with a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos hockey team.
00:08:58.320Naturally, according to the state-funded mainstream media, Siddhu is the real victim in this story.
00:09:04.160And naturally, Siddhu will use his child, like so many others are, to exploit a loophole in the immigration system known as the Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds Visa in order to remain in Canada.
00:09:19.420Indeed, just last month, I revisited beautiful Brampton, Ontario, to take in yet another protest staged by mostly international students and temporary foreign workers
00:09:32.020who appear unable to understand the dictionary definition of the word temporary, aided and abetted by the cat ladies heading up the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
00:09:44.220These people actually vilified Canada, noting that no one is illegal on stolen land and that Canada is full of racists and haters.
00:09:56.920Makes you kind of wonder who in their right mind would want to live in such an evil dominion, but never mind.
00:10:47.120As my source notes, in late 2018, Justin Trudeau stated that an influx of Canadian male construction workers could have a gender impact, whatever that means.
00:11:00.560Still, we would need a gender-based analysis to study that impact, if it even exists.
00:11:08.360Well, where is the study on the impact of importing large amounts of men from India, a country that, Ted notes, the UK's Guardian newspaper has labeled as the most dangerous country for women?
00:11:24.220Golly, I hope reciting such an impolite statistic doesn't put me in violation of Bill C-9.
00:11:32.380Ted also notes that many middle-aged men from India are enrolled in childcare courses.
00:11:39.560This is being done as a loophole to obtain permanent residency.
00:11:43.800Riddle me this, is this the sort of $10-a-day daycare system so many liberal women have long been championing?
00:11:52.280Yet, coming across as anti-immigrant is way, way too third rail for the trained SEALs in the mainstream media, in addition to Siddhu being depicted as a victim rather than a killer.
00:12:07.180The state-funded media turns a blind eye to stories that should be on the front page.
00:12:12.940Like, how about in January of this year, when an Indian man, Yuraz Singh, was arrested in Lethbridge, Alberta, with five missing children in a hotel room?
00:12:27.360Those children were between the ages of 12 and 14, and one of the girls was intoxicated and had been sexually assaulted.
00:12:37.360Now, folks, when I did a Google News search, I only found two brief local news items regarding this model non-citizen.
00:12:47.320And again, I ask, why is this gross and disturbing story not on the front page from coast to coast?
00:16:37.660There are some 85 Sharia courts in the UK.
00:16:40.860My boss, Ezra Levant, feels Canada is but five years behind the UK.
00:16:46.780I think, unfortunately, he is right on the timeline regarding this file.
00:16:52.020But liberals in Canada, like Democrats south of the border, now put party before country.
00:17:00.080Oh, and one other inconvenient truth about Muslim values being Canadian values.
00:17:05.800I wonder if Carney has really thought this through.
00:17:07.960After all, one of his daughters is now a so-called trans man, meaning she's pretending to be a he.
00:17:14.780I sincerely hope she, he doesn't visit any Islamic nation because, let's put it this way, she, he probably doesn't have to purchase a return ticket.
00:17:26.120I should note, importing the world's impoverished to Canada is going to be incredibly expensive.
00:17:34.220And someone must pay the piper at some point.
00:17:37.800Which is to say, hey, baby boomers, buckle up, buttercup.
00:17:42.180What I'm getting at here, folks, is that a liberal majority government in the years ahead might have no choice but to implement a capital gains tax on the primary residences of Canadians, the majority of which are, ta-da, boomers.
00:17:59.860Oh, there will be outrage, 100%, especially given the way so many boomers have propped up the liberals as though they are members of some kind of a cult.
00:18:10.380But with boomers dying off, they are nevertheless a depreciating asset for the Liberal Party of Canada when it comes to future ballot box turnout.
00:18:23.560You know, the liberals backstabbing their baby boomer base in the near future reminds me perhaps of the most chilling scene in the 2008 masterpiece, The Dark Knight.
00:18:37.720Don't talk like one of them, you're not.
00:19:11.980When the chips are down, these, uh, these civilized people, they'll eat each other.
00:19:18.880Bottom line, wake up, boomer, or the joke's going to be on you.
00:19:23.680You know, folks, I don't care if you love or hate Elon Musk.
00:19:35.940I don't care if you are still suffering from Trump derangement syndrome, but the fact is we desperately need a Department of Government Efficiency in Canada, a.k.a. DOGE.
00:19:49.580Egregious examples of wasteful government spending abound.
00:19:54.840The latest example, well, the B.C. government thought it was somehow fiscally responsible to spend $35,000 for an open bar for bureaucrats to enjoy at a reception in Victoria.
00:20:14.560And with more on this affront and more to taxpayers is Carson Binda, B.C. Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
00:20:25.480Carson, thank you so much for joining me.
00:20:28.660The, um, one, the fiscal carnage never ends, but as I said to you off camera, the saddest thing about this is a mere $35,000 being wasted.
00:20:40.500That's like chump change when we're talking hundreds of thousands and often millions of dollars when it comes to government.
00:20:48.100Can you give us the details about this taxpayer-funded reception for bureaucrats?
00:20:53.820Yeah, absolutely, and thank you so much for having me on the show today.
00:20:58.620We uncovered, through Freedom of Information requests, documents that show the B.C. government budgeted $35,000 for an open bar reception at a fancy Victoria resort last March.
00:21:13.380Now, the records say that this, uh, reception was to hand out coronation medals to deserving government employees.
00:21:24.320But, look, bear in mind, the Feds handed out about 30,000 of these coronation medals across the country.
00:22:37.900Well, Carson, um, I've got two thoughts.
00:22:40.400One, uh, since you mentioned, uh, Jack Daniels, that's Kentucky bourbon.
00:22:44.480I'm now envious because in Ontario, we've been deprived that the little people by premier Ford.
00:22:50.240And, uh, so, uh, I, I guess it pays to be a bureaucrat.
00:22:54.480You get exempted from the anti-American trade rhetoric, but you know what?
00:22:58.280I don't know if you guys thought about this, but you know what struck me, uh, given government being government and given government so beholden to lawyers,
00:23:07.520I'm surprised alcohol was served, um, in the first place, not because, um, they didn't want to wine and dine their bureaucrats, but based on maybe a legal opinion, like, um, Mr. Premier, if we get people sloshed, we might be responsible for, uh, owner-occupier, um, uh, litigation if there's an accident afterwards.
00:23:34.440So just for that reason, you know, the wrong reason for not having alcohol, I'm surprised that didn't go ahead.
00:23:44.560Well, I'm glad you brought up the American bourbon comment because this party happened just one day after Premier David Eby ordered American booze off liquor store shelves.
00:23:58.100So bourbon for we, not for the taxpayer D. It's absolutely bizarre.
00:24:05.200And you're right, but this isn't a one-off of BC bureaucrats blowing big money on boozy receptions.
00:24:12.100Unfortunately, this is part of a pattern that we've seen time and time again from the BC government.
00:24:18.440Just last week, uh, my team at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation released documents that showed two BC ministers billed us for a $3,900 happy hour in Amsterdam.
00:24:31.200So time and time again, David Eby's bureaucrats and cabinet ministers are slapping tapped-out taxpayers with big bills for boozy parties.
00:24:41.760You know, I really want, I'd love to see the invoices for that $3,900 happy hour in Amsterdam, given that city has a red light district.
00:24:56.960I think you guys at the Taxpayers Federation, Carson, you do incredible work.
00:25:03.940Um, not a week, it seems, goes by, uh, when you don't, thanks to freedom of information, because the government isn't happy to share this information, um, expose some egregious spending spree.
00:25:49.440And let me give you a really good example of how our tax fighting army got real accountability with one of these spending scandals here in BC.
00:25:58.060Through freedom of information requests, we were able to prove that BC bureaucrats were giving themselves secret bonuses by buying expensive gift cards to high-end sporting goods stores, Amazon, Walmart, and other businesses.
00:26:15.080We, uh, exposed that through freedom of information requests, thanks to support from tax fighters across the country.
00:26:22.040We published those documents, uh, and the, as a result, the BC government has canceled the gift card for bureaucrat program.
00:26:30.080That happened because of our tax fighting army from coast to coast to coast, and it wouldn't have happened if we weren't able to file those freedom of information requests and show that bureaucrats were giving themselves secret gift card bonuses.
00:26:43.860So, in other words, uh, exposure can act as a sanitizing process in terms of, uh, government, uh, being more fiscally responsible.
00:26:53.540And, you know, that's the thing, you know, Carson, um, I truly miss the late, great Rob Ford, the former mayor of Toronto.
00:27:00.880Uh, not so much his brother, the current premier of Ontario, but that's another story, but I think, um, the reason why he won by a landslide in 2010 is that he coined, and, and it wasn't just words.
00:27:17.200He led by example, what I think is the greatest political slogan of our early century, respect for taxpayers.
00:27:36.900Uh, why can't we see more politicians across the nation, uh, following in those footsteps?
00:27:43.560Well, because I think there are so many vested interests pushing politicians to spend, spend, spend, whether it's the bureaucrats, the unions, there's a ton of pressure on politicians to shake taxpayers upside down until our lunch money falls out of our pockets.
00:28:02.000But that's why it's so important that we get taxpayers, viewers of your show, folks, uh, engaged.
00:28:08.560We arm them with the knowledge to hold government accountable.
00:28:12.860So I think that's the key arm yourself with the knowledge, watch programs like this one, learn about the ways politicians and bureaucrats are blowing your hard earned money and hold them accountable for it.
00:28:25.860And, you know, I got to tell you, uh, Carson, I don't know if you saw this report, but last week we exposed the fact that Durham region's headquarters in Whitby, Ontario,
00:28:36.260they installed, they installed, and I'm not making this up a $1 million revolving door.
00:28:44.260Now I'm not, I know, and I'm not a door expert, but I read the comments and contractors were saying, Dave, it's 50,000 tops.
00:28:53.480So in other words, 50,000 for the door and the labor to put the door in, 950,000 in, um, kickbacks.
00:29:03.040And what I found really rich when I reached out to the region, their media affairs department, they said, well, you should know that almost half a million dollars of this was paid for by the federal government.
00:29:41.980But here's the good news epilogue to that.
00:29:44.020Uh, we did a follow-up and within days of our piece airing and full disclosure, maybe it's a complete coincidence, but Durham region announced that starting next year, they are hiring an auditor general to cut spending.
00:30:01.040So again, to your point of exposing, uh, these examples of egregious spending, sometimes there is a happy ending, wouldn't you say?
00:30:32.720Uh, we're running out of racetrack here, Carson, but let's end it on what I thought was the most perversely amusing example of outrageous government spending.
00:30:41.340It's right here in Toronto, a plaque went up commemorating a dead raccoon and, um, uh, our city.
00:30:51.300I don't know if you've ever spent time in Toronto.
00:30:56.120I mean, the Toronto raccoon is a different subspecies.
00:30:59.620They're bigger, they live longer, they're fatter, they have bigger litters.
00:31:03.380Uh, they basically go around the garbage cans, uh, like somebody at a Mandarin restaurant.
00:31:08.760And I guess what I'm getting at, Carson, if this was some exceptional raccoon, you know, a raccoon that was known for, say, riding a bicycle.
00:32:41.420And that's where you can stay up to date on all of our breaking waste stories and find out how you can join the Taxpayer Army to hold government accountable.
