Stand on Guard with David Krayden - Carney - Trudeau Subsidies FAIL： $42B Wasted ｜ Stand on Guard

00:00:00.560 Welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard. I'm your host, David Crayton. I'm coming at you live from our nation's capital on this Saturday morning, April 12th.

00:00:11.220 Historic day. This was the day the Titanic went down in 1912. So, looks like the Kearney ship is going down too. So, we're watching that carefully.

00:00:24.520 My guest this morning, I don't see him waiting in the green room yet, the blue room if he doesn't show up, is Dan McTeague, former member of parliament for Scarborough and a dear friend for many, many years.

00:00:40.640 I knew Dan when I worked on the Hill and he was a member of parliament, a liberal member of parliament, a common sense liberal.

00:00:47.060 And he's still a common sense individual. I don't know if he still is a liberal. I never asked.

00:00:54.520 But he's supporting a conservative in this election campaign.

00:00:58.680 And so, I'm coming back very shortly with Dan McTeague and with lots of information for you. Thank you for watching today.

00:01:09.520 The Prime Minister lied and his minions continue to lie.

00:01:18.800 We need to put it to change.

00:01:24.520 So, we also need to resolve to resist.

00:01:27.380 Yes, thank you so much for watching today.

00:01:41.060 And of course, what's the big news?

00:01:42.540 The untold story here is, of course, the fact...

00:01:47.380 I'm just making sure we got it.

00:01:51.020 No.

00:01:51.280 It's the fact that the Ingersoll plant, the GM Ingersoll plant in Ontario, is laying off 500 jobs.

00:02:01.380 Now, why do you think that is?

00:02:02.920 Now, there are some politicians out there who insist this has something to do with the Trump tariffs.

00:02:09.440 Very interesting to note.

00:02:12.280 Doug Ford doesn't say that.

00:02:13.440 And of course, Dan McTeague tweeted that this is a sign of the times because nobody's buying electric vehicles.

00:02:24.900 That's what's going on here.

00:02:26.740 And it's positively frightening what's going on.

00:02:33.960 And why do you think Doug Ford had an early election call?

00:02:38.020 Because Doug Ford was heavily invested in electric vehicle plants.

00:02:42.980 He was in Justin Trudeau's pocket all the way.

00:02:45.620 Let's go back and watch the original announcement here.

00:02:50.220 Five months ago, we announced investments to retool the Cami EV assembly plant here in Ingersoll.

00:02:58.520 The NGM began working to get Cami ready for electric vehicle production.

00:03:02.600 And today, as Mark pointed out, in record time, we're opening the first full-scale commercial electric vehicle plant in Canada.

00:03:11.320 Yeah, that is precisely where things were when Justin Trudeau announced the opening of this plant.

00:03:28.080 But of course, what does this remind you of?

00:03:30.960 And it reminds me of Soviet five-year plants that are based on nothing more than speculation where the economy is going to be.

00:03:41.320 And Dan will be joining us quite soon here.

00:03:44.740 Just have a look at this.

00:03:45.820 I really, really like this.

00:04:11.320 Now, that is like the graveyard of electric vehicles.

00:04:33.180 Did we see this coming?

00:04:34.760 Of course we did.

00:04:35.940 But Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford insisted we spend billions of dollars.

00:04:41.640 Not invest.

00:04:42.280 That's not an investment.

00:04:43.660 It's like investing in the Brooklyn Bridge that you don't own. 0.88

00:04:47.440 This is a incredibly foolish venture by the provincial government of Ontario and the federal government of Justin Trudeau.

00:04:54.600 They lauded this as a great thing, as something that was just a remedy for the economy, a remedy for climate change. 0.88

00:05:07.120 And of course, once you mix climate change with the economy, it never works.

00:05:14.460 It never fits together like the way these liberals always insisted does.

00:05:19.600 So, it's not the tariff that's causing this problem.

00:05:30.940 It's lack of interest in electric vehicles.

00:05:36.660 That's what's creating the crisis here.

00:05:39.080 And I know there are certain politicians, some even on the right of the spectrum, who are insisting this 500-worker layoff is all a direct result of Donald Trump.

00:05:54.020 Well, so is the common cold.

00:05:55.600 No.

00:05:56.720 It's a direct result of the bust in the market for electric vehicles.

00:06:02.540 And that, my friend, is a complete fact.

00:06:06.340 Now, while we're still waiting for Dan to join us here, I do want to comment on something before we get back to electric vehicles.

00:06:16.000 Can you guess what that might be?

00:06:18.200 Well, Peter Polly had disappointed me yesterday.

00:06:21.580 And I can't say I'm surprised.

00:06:24.260 I can't say I'm shocked.

00:06:26.980 Because I expected this.

00:06:29.140 And every election, of course, the liberals try to suggest the conservatives are going to ban all abortions.

00:06:39.200 Well, of course, the conservatives have never suggested that.

00:06:43.240 Going back to Brian Mulroney, who tried to establish an abortion law when the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the existing abortion law in 1988, leaving us with no abortion law since 1988.

00:06:56.680 How many years ago was that?

00:06:58.180 I'm sorry.

00:06:59.140 That's like 37 years now with no abortion law. 0.83

00:07:04.620 Canada has abortion on demand.

00:07:08.580 Unrestricted abortion on demand.

00:07:11.600 And we've had that for 37 years.

00:07:13.960 Now, Peter Polly have yesterday said he would not reopen the abortion issue, meaning we're not going to have an abortion law.

00:07:22.560 Even the most liberal countries in Europe have an abortion law. 0.89

00:07:26.960 I'm sorry I'm bringing this up today, but I have to because it's outrageous that Canada has no abortion law at all.

00:07:35.600 Unrestricted abortion on demand.

00:07:36.600 No other country in the world has a civilized country in the world has a policy like that.

00:07:46.520 Only Canada.

00:07:47.520 Only Canada.

00:07:48.520 And I'm looking forward to the day when a conservative leader, hopefully it's Pierre Polly, can stand up and say, yes, Canada needs an abortion law.

00:07:55.580 No, we're not going to ban abortions.

00:07:58.580 As much as I'd like that, I know it's not politically feasible.

00:08:02.540 However, I think it's entirely politically feasible to stop funding abortions with public money.

00:08:09.720 That's something a lot of people would agree with across the spectrum.

00:08:12.640 And I think it's also possible to restrict abortion to at least some degree.

00:08:16.780 So it doesn't become infanticide.

00:08:20.500 And that's precisely what we're dealing with in many instances.

00:08:24.600 So let's have a look at this.

00:08:30.520 How much money, how much money was squandered on electric vehicles?

00:08:38.360 And this is truly shocking.

00:08:45.440 Forty two point six, four, six billion dollars.

00:08:50.240 Forty two point six, four, six billion dollars.

00:08:58.160 Manufacturing subsidies for EV and battery products for Canada.

00:09:03.540 You know, every time these this money is spent, the government that's announcing it likes to talk about it being an investment.

00:09:12.160 And I see Dan is here.

00:09:13.600 All right.

00:09:14.200 Without further ado.

00:09:15.140 Dan, thank you.

00:09:19.440 Thank you for joining me.

00:09:21.100 Sorry about that.

00:09:23.400 Better late than never.

00:09:24.880 I'm just so glad to have you here.

00:09:26.860 So I was just talking about the Ingersoll layoffs.

00:09:30.380 And I'm sure it's going to be a closing before long.

00:09:32.540 It's very optimistic to say this is all going to be rectified in a couple of months.

00:09:36.580 But as I was explaining, there are some politicians out there who are suggesting this is all a result of nasty, evil Donald Trump's tariffs.

00:09:50.300 And I think you say otherwise.

00:09:52.280 I say otherwise.

00:09:53.180 And I want to play a clip from Doug Ford.

00:09:56.100 And I was absolutely dumbstruck by this, Dan, because Doug Ford has a problem telling the truth many times.

00:10:05.740 And he had this early election, I believe, because he knew economic hardship was right around the corner.

00:10:13.220 And he probably would have lost an election three or four months later.

00:10:17.980 But listen to Doug Ford.

00:10:19.260 He says it's not the terror.

00:10:21.920 The president of General Motors that I spoke to, it's going to be about 500 employees.

00:10:29.000 It has nothing to do with the tariffs, he said.

00:10:30.760 The volume is not there.

00:10:33.300 People are not purchasing like they thought they would.

00:10:36.100 So they have thousands of vehicles sitting there.

00:10:39.840 We're going to make sure we support the workers and make sure that we get government, especially Canada Post, to pick up some of these vehicles because that's what it's geared for.

00:10:51.920 Absolutely astounding.

00:10:54.520 I mean, what can you say to that?

00:10:56.940 Well, on the 22nd of March, after having gone to the Ingersoll plant, I just tweeted a little while ago.

00:11:03.480 I actually went there, filmed what was there in inventory.

00:11:07.420 There were thousands of these vehicles just sitting there doing nothing.

00:11:10.940 Obviously, Doug Ford didn't get it.

00:11:12.340 And on the 22nd of March, I said, it says a lot about why at Ford Nation is Giddy supporting Kearney.

00:11:20.540 He's committed billions of borrowed EV and battery manufacturing like this one in Ingersoll, where the provincial and feds kicked in over half a billion for bright drops.

00:11:30.180 It was supposed to sell 100,000 units, only sold 2,100.

00:11:33.400 Actually, it got wrong.

00:11:34.440 It was 2,500.

00:11:35.460 They might have probably given a few away there.

00:11:37.160 But look, this is anticipating what was there.

00:11:40.660 It's pretty obvious.

00:11:41.560 I mean, I don't just predict gas prices.

00:11:43.600 I have a pretty good idea where these policies are going.

00:11:46.380 When it comes to EV mandates, the entire net supply is basically going to collapse.

00:11:53.840 One, EV mandates are toast.

00:11:56.320 That's not just because Trump got rid of them when he came in as president.

00:12:00.180 We also know that the Kearney government had to kill the carbon taxes.

00:12:05.660 Now, why aren't they killing emissions caps? 0.77

00:12:07.660 Why are they doubling down on forcing us to have California-style appliances, which is extraordinarily costly to consumers?

00:12:16.940 There's 1,000 of these things that are coming out.

00:12:19.180 GFANS, the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero that Mark Kearney put forward, is now subject to antitrust review in the United States.

00:12:29.920 This guy could be charged and billions of dollars taken away from the GFANS organization and the banks who fled. 0.97

00:12:36.280 So, by any measure, anybody who hopped on the bandwagon a few years ago on Net Zero is now looking pretty damn foolish. 0.56

00:12:43.180 And it's amazing to see so many stunned Canadians falling in for this. 0.55

00:12:48.140 You've just lost 500 jobs.

00:12:49.480 They've nuked those jobs. 1.00

00:12:50.540 They're not there anymore.

00:12:51.380 Now, what I do know, it was part of the reason I went down there.

00:12:54.520 Mark Kearney went over to France.

00:12:55.780 And guess what he did, David?

00:12:56.700 He decided that it would be a good idea to maybe talk to the French president, Macron, about buying some of those Rafale Dassault military fighters.

00:13:06.700 Kick out the F-35 planes, the jets that we were committed to buying.

00:13:10.580 Spend 10, 15 billion bucks on these jets and get France to buy maybe 5 billion bucks worth of military vehicles,

00:13:17.120 which are going to be built at places like Ride Drop, perhaps, or maybe even the half-built or even not yet built Northvolt battery plant, the other bankruptcy that's occurred.

00:13:26.640 So, however you slice it, the Liberals have had 10 years of failed policies.

00:13:32.220 Net Zero has laid an egg.

00:13:34.280 It's not doing anything.

00:13:35.780 And what they're going to try to do is use a lot more public money and hopefully put enough wool over everyone's eyes so that we continue to go down this road of more recklessness as a result of what we've seen on EVs.

00:13:45.820 For Doug Ford to have signed on this, I mean, shame on him.

00:13:48.080 But it probably explains why he doesn't want to support Pierre Polyev.

00:13:51.680 It says a lot about, forget what Corey Tanike and the dispute between or the anger or the animosity between Ford and Pierre Polyev. 0.99

00:14:00.600 This is about Pierre Polyev saying, your policies are garbage. 0.99

00:14:03.680 They've hurt Canadians. 1.00

00:14:04.600 They've undermined the financial feasibility and sustainability of the federal government and the provincial government.

00:14:10.020 And we're going to get rid of them, just like we're going to get rid of the CBC.

00:14:12.740 And so, for those reasons, you're going to see why people are not supporting Pierre Polyev because they know, you know, they know which side of the bread is going to get buttered.

00:14:22.360 And for guys like Doug Ford, bad mistake, back the wrong horse, and now we're holding the bag.

00:14:27.280 That's why I call the election early, my view.

00:14:29.940 Yeah, exactly.

00:14:31.360 What I find almost humorous about this is that Doug Ford came into office like a decade ago now on a anti-green energy policy.

00:14:40.580 I don't know, people forget this.

00:14:41.880 He came in and he started saying, hey, Ontario's got the highest hydro rates in the world.

00:14:46.800 We've got to do something about this, and green energy is not going to work.

00:14:50.120 We can't run a modern industrialized province like Ontario on windmills and solar panels.

00:14:56.160 So one of the first things he did was to come out against the green energy plant.

00:15:00.600 Now, of course, he's been in Trudeau's pocket for much of the last decade.

00:15:04.420 He's been in the Liberal Party's pocket on this green energy program, on net zero, on electric vehicles.

00:15:12.340 But you know what that strikes me as, Dan, I was thinking this morning, it's like the Soviet Union's old five-year plans. 0.75

00:15:18.280 They were based on ideology.

00:15:19.920 And the economy was supposed to bend towards the ideology.

00:15:25.340 So, of course, Stalin says we're going to collectivize farms because that's what Karl Marx says works.

00:15:32.140 And, of course, it didn't work.

00:15:33.280 It created famine and millions of people died in the process because ideology cannot trump reality.

00:15:41.040 And this is exactly as I see what's happening with these electric vehicles.

00:15:45.360 It had to work because net zero has to work, because electric vehicles have to work, because the gas-powered engine is on the verge of extinction.

00:15:55.620 So it has to work.

00:15:56.720 And, of course, none of this added up at all.

00:15:59.920 And I think this is a scandal.

00:16:04.260 And I can't believe there's not more outrage out there because we have spent, you know, as I just showed a minute ago, we have spent $42.6 billion in subsidizing the electric vehicle industry.

00:16:20.220 This is a scandal.

00:16:22.520 And I can't believe there's not more people up in arms about this right now.

00:16:26.040 But, you know, as you say, they're never wrong about this.

00:16:30.960 It's just it's a temporary setback.

00:16:32.820 And I think they're running fast and scared right now because this is going to get worse, not better.

00:16:40.560 Well, Linamar is going down, too.

00:16:41.960 Linamar is supposed to build an EV battery.

00:16:43.640 It didn't produce one single unit.

00:16:45.800 And they've just, you know, basically burned through a billion point one, 1.1 billion of your money and mine in order to build something that can't be done.

00:16:54.660 This is Fantasyland 101.

00:16:56.020 And if Canadians can't get their head out of the sand and realize that they're being duped, that they can't afford, you know, the saddling of the debts that these things are incurring for generations to come.

00:17:06.160 And they think that somehow, you know, crapping on pipelines or putting emission caps that won't allow us to make any more oil or gas to send these pipelines that they now suddenly have discovered are important.

00:17:16.600 If we don't wake up real soon, the next two weeks, I can say confidently the next four years I'm going to be spending is basically tut-tutting people saying, I warned you, but, you know, you decided that it was probably better to be worried about orange man bad south of the border rather than considering the absolute weakness that you all acknowledged just a few months ago under Justin Trudeau.

00:17:38.460 Nothing has changed, if anything, Mr. Carney and his company, as we well know, has lied on so many fronts.

00:17:46.460 And here's the big one that I'm going to say it here now because I've said it many places before, but to be absolutely clear, you're going to get a carbon tax.

00:17:54.280 And that 20 cents you think you're getting off, it's going to be 40 cents by 2030, likely by the end of another government, should they form a majority government.

00:18:00.680 So, look, folks, if, you know, you're maxed out your credit cards, you can't pay your utilities, some of the people have to go to food banks, you don't have a job, your kids certainly don't have one, and the future looks extraordinarily bleak with a $1.3 trillion debt, accumulating $62 billion every year in deficits.

00:18:19.080 Those are things that would have caused liberals and conservatives' hairs to curl in years past.

00:18:25.380 But now, of course, it's no big deal.

00:18:28.060 And I see these people who have good pensions and self-directed pensions, and, oh, we're not worried about it, we just don't like Donald Trump, and we think Pierre Paulyev's like him.

00:18:36.360 Give your head a shake.

00:18:38.680 Because you know what? 1.00

00:18:39.560 I'm going to spend a lot of time over the next few years pointing back to the stupidity and frivolity of people. 1.00

00:18:44.900 And make no mistake, David, these people know what they're doing. 0.98

00:18:48.160 They're just trying to be cool and friendly because they made mistakes in 2015, 2019, and again in 2021.

00:18:53.100 And they want to somehow think that they can justify bad decisions.

00:18:57.140 Well, it's coming at the expense of the country, coming at the expense of our economic sustainability.

00:19:01.680 It's likely coming at the expense of what concerns me even more so the future of the federation in this country.

00:19:08.780 Yeah, I completely agree.

00:19:11.480 Now, Mark Carney, of course, has been talking out of both sides of his mouth on net zero and pipelines.

00:19:17.280 When he's in Alberta, he's amenable to pipelines.

00:19:19.500 And maybe net zero wasn't such a great idea.

00:19:22.160 When he's up back in Ontario, no way we're going to go for pipelines.

00:19:25.860 And no way is net zero going to be gone.

00:19:29.660 He hasn't eliminated the consumer carbon tax.

00:19:32.980 He's reduced it to zero for the election.

00:19:34.920 So it could be reignited again at any time.

00:19:38.640 He's promised the corporate carbon tax.

00:19:41.000 And he's also talking about something called a carbon tariff, which is even more ominous because it could potentially drive everybody, all the corporations out of Canada, because they don't have to pay a carbon tariff south of the border.

00:19:56.140 And they don't have to pay a corporate carbon tax out of the border.

00:20:00.720 So is Carney playing games with us here?

00:20:03.640 Well, let's understand and break that down a little bit.

00:20:06.920 Yes, he's playing games with people.

00:20:08.100 But this is a guy that's basically come around and come up with great ideas as to how to cartelize the financial industry to try to choke off oil and gas.

00:20:16.700 And it's great in Canada because we'd like to bend over and we take these things because we can always find some kind of cool argument.

00:20:23.360 But the United States doesn't take it that way.

00:20:25.000 And as I mentioned earlier, Mr. Carney and G-Fans are subject now to what is likely to be a significant hit in terms of antitrust. 0.94

00:20:34.560 And they took on the Rockefellers. 0.60

00:20:36.480 They've taken on the Cargills.

00:20:38.360 They've taken on the big grocery dominant players back in the 1930s, the 1890s, and very recently IBM and others.

00:20:45.220 So the reality is that at the end of this, it's going to be very embarrassing for Mr. Carney and for liberals to have gone along with this idea that somehow we can wish these things away.

00:20:56.220 And I think for Mark Carney's policies, it's one thing in one region of the country.

00:21:00.420 It's another thing in another region of the country.

00:21:01.740 But the reality is that for the liberals, my whole party, they're campaigning against what they did over the past 10 years.

00:21:07.160 And they're plagiarizing.

00:21:08.460 They're actually borrowing ideas from the conservatives.

00:21:10.800 So, you know, I've taken the position very, very clearly, David.

00:21:14.220 But I'm not fooling around with these guys.

00:21:15.780 They no longer represent the liberal of the centre, the consensus builder, the pragmatic party that they once were under, you know, under Pearson, that they were under Kretzian, that they were under Martin.

00:21:25.760 I'm not taking the view that it's time for the last party at the centre to do well.

00:21:29.700 And that's why I'm knocking on doors for the conservatives in this election. 0.99

00:21:32.120 Because I want to confront Canadians with their stupidity and their willingness to think, well, everything's just fine. 1.00

00:21:39.100 It's not fine. 1.00

00:21:40.300 It's not good for our kids.

00:21:41.260 It's not good for our grandchildren.

00:21:42.600 And if you elect an international fellow who doesn't pay taxes in this country, whose first act was to lie about the fact that he had put Brookfield in the United States, who has a lot to account for.

00:21:54.000 And the fact that he doesn't, he had no business in telling us that he did the 1998 budget, that he balanced it, that he had nothing to do with claiming that there was no recession in 2008, when in fact there was.

00:22:04.880 And for that, Canada escaped somewhat because of the work of Paul Martin, David Dodge and Jim Flaherty.

00:22:10.660 All of these things have a cumulative effect.

00:22:13.920 And if Canadians want to sit back and go, oh, it's nice.

00:22:16.580 You know, the same way that Canadians voted for socks, sobbing and selfies.

00:22:19.540 If Canadians are that gullible and that impressionable and that easily, easily duped. 0.99

00:22:25.720 Well, then it won't be hard for Mark Carney and the Liberals to pick their pockets further in the days to come.

00:22:29.840 Because make no mistake, everything that they say they're getting rid of, they're actually going to reapply.

00:22:33.580 And you mentioned at the outset, that carbon tax is coming back.

00:22:36.700 Sure, as the day is bright, the sun, you know, rises in the east and settles in the west.

00:22:42.460 And anybody who doesn't believe that only has to look at the fact that they kept the bureaucracy.

00:22:46.980 It's still there.

00:22:47.760 They haven't changed the legislation or plan to implement any changes to that legislation.

00:22:52.780 Say a couple of things here and there.

00:22:54.760 Everything about Mark Carney is a contradiction.

00:22:57.200 And people are going to learn about that right after the election, especially when it declares assets and where they find the massive conflicts of interest.

00:23:02.560 Not just his alliances with what's happening in Beijing and the Chinese government, but also his apparent conflicts when it comes to things like tariffs.

00:23:11.840 He said there'd be no more tariff for them.

00:23:13.180 There's a huge tariff for them.

00:23:14.340 And one of the few there is singled out.

00:23:17.080 That's very true.

00:23:18.500 And of course, this electric vehicle fiasco is a double loss.

00:23:23.240 And a lot of people aren't even aware of this.

00:23:25.040 Because we put tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to protect our dying industry, which, of course, was another bit of insanity. 0.79

00:23:33.960 But as a result, China has imposed 100 percent tariff on canola oil, which is basically the cash crop of most of Western farmers.

00:23:44.800 When all else fails, they can make some money off canola oil.

00:23:48.440 It's basically the equivalent today of cotton or tobacco.

00:23:53.400 You can't eat it, but it's very essential to making a living as a farmer.

00:24:01.040 And this, of course, China's punishing us for this.

00:24:04.420 I just want to show you this short clip from a Canadian farmer.

00:24:07.580 He's putting up his arms and saying, why are we protecting electric vehicles that nobody wants to buy so I can't sell my canola?

00:24:15.900 So I thought I'd share a little bit of farmer math today.

00:24:20.120 This is a 5,000 bushel bin of canola that I harvested last fall.

00:24:26.760 Now, at current values at the elevator right now, this bin is worth $62,500.

00:24:34.280 You're probably thinking, wow, that's a lot of money, right?

00:24:37.300 The problem is that on my farm, the cost of production on this bin of canola was $65,000.

00:24:45.900 The market has basically – and that's where Canadian farmers are.

00:24:55.280 And, of course, Mark Carney doesn't give a damn about those Canadian farmers who are going to be losing money.

00:25:00.380 And some of them will go bankrupt as a result of this.

00:25:03.200 But Mark Carney, of course, is afraid to do anything that's going to be an affront to China.

00:25:09.380 And he's not going to complain about this 100% tariff on canola oil or anything else.

00:25:17.860 But, you know, this is really what it comes down to for me this morning, Dan, is that why – and I ask you this as a former liberal MP who saw many liberal leaders.

00:25:29.160 You've worked with many liberal leaders over the year.

00:25:31.560 Mark Carney came from nowhere.

00:25:33.060 We kept talking – we were talking about him for years.

00:25:36.720 Mark Carney's coming.

00:25:37.680 Mark Carney's coming.

00:25:38.480 Like it was the second coming or something.

00:25:41.020 But why has this man caught on with Canadians?

00:25:43.440 We know he's deep in the pocket of China. 0.98

00:25:46.120 He wants – he said many times he wants the Chinese yuan to replace the U.S. dollar as the global currency.

00:25:53.400 He wants China to replace the United States as the global engine of economic movement.

00:25:59.940 We know he sought and received a $276 million loan from the Central Chinese Bank while he was in Beijing, ostensibly supposed to be representing the prime minister's office.

00:26:11.240 WeChat supported him during his liberal leadership campaign and continued to do so during the federal election.

00:26:18.800 He stood behind Paul Chang, a guy who wanted to deliver his conservative opponent to the Chinese consulate for a bounty.

00:26:28.040 And what strikes me – and, of course, yes – and the tax evasion issue.

00:26:32.880 Even CBC, Radio Canada, CTV have been reporting extensively on Mark Carney, hoarding his profits from Brookfield Assets Management in the Cayman Islands now and in Bermuda.

00:26:46.480 Billions of dollars of tax evasion.

00:26:49.900 Mark Carney was sold to Canadians as a man of integrity.

00:26:53.560 This was the man who was going to bring sense back to the Liberal Party after 10 years of a manic, depressive like Justin Trudeau, who nobody was taking seriously anymore.

00:27:04.200 And you could take Mark Carney seriously.

00:27:07.340 This was a banker, after all, a man of integrity.

00:27:10.820 And the more this guy stays around and the more we dig, we find out he lacks any integrity.

00:27:18.060 He's on the take.

00:27:19.040 He is – he will do whatever he needs to do.

00:27:22.380 As he says, he understands the real world.

00:27:25.320 These poor underlings out there don't get that.

00:27:27.880 But he understands how the world works.

00:27:30.260 And he will exploit that understanding.

00:27:33.400 So I don't see much integrity in this guy.

00:27:35.760 It's almost surreal to me.

00:27:37.060 Why is Mark Carney continuing to exhibit Teflon on his body?

00:27:46.300 David, good question.

00:27:47.360 I mean, you did the interview with Liz Truss some time ago saying about the ruinous efforts that he had made as bank governor in ruining and creating hyperinflation, which is almost uncontrollable in the UK.

00:27:59.540 But, you know, I think for this point, it really speaks to the depth to which the Liberal Party has controlled the media and pollsters and influencers.

00:28:09.500 Let me explain.

00:28:10.080 I mean, media receives substantial benefits directly and indirectly from the federal government's CRTC moves to prevent some from having to pay their CRTC dividends.

00:28:22.100 Others are getting money directly.

00:28:23.520 And I don't just mean the CBC.

00:28:25.180 We also know that pollsters, yeah, all of them, without exception.

00:28:28.840 And I can't think of many that don't, apart from, you know, having strong Liberal ties, which I know about, for instance, one of them, Main Street, is Kito Maggie.

00:28:38.340 I'm the guy.

00:28:39.040 Was my campaign manager in 2008.

00:28:40.900 These people bleed Liberal Party in red.

00:28:43.360 But beyond that, how much have they received in contracts, generous, you know, inside contracts for various ministries?

00:28:52.600 There's 30, you know, for surveys and for random sampling and things like that.

00:28:58.120 They are, you know, people are, I say, well, no, every one of us are sampled to death. 0.79

00:29:04.580 We get calls all the time for the most ridiculous of things.

00:29:07.180 And yet, that has been a source of significant amounts of money, what I call and you call grift, has been very profound.

00:29:15.620 And so, yes, Mark Carney is treated as the best since the sliced bread.

00:29:20.100 And, you know, Winston Churchill himself, except for when he waves these little pieces of paper around, says peace in our times, and that we have no care for with the United States.

00:29:32.020 And we're not going to talk about China in all the ways in which you've alarmingly put out what has been happening, the level of interference and the willingness to accept.

00:29:42.460 All these things aside, I think, have manipulated gullible Canadians.

00:29:46.780 And it really comes down to the fact that if they're not intelligent enough to distinguish and to make the right decisions, then they're going to be saddled with extraordinary pain over the next few years, the likes of which we have not seen.

00:29:58.740 We've got industry after industry, manufacturing that's reeling, construction that is reeling, the energy sector, which is reeling as a direct result of what this government has done.

00:30:08.560 And now Canadians say, oh, we don't like Donald Trump.

00:30:11.200 Well, you don't like Donald Trump and he's being able to slap us around, as are the Chinese, because we're weak and not because we're not smart.

00:30:18.240 We've been able to punch above our weight for decades, but we've lost that.

00:30:21.260 And if Canadians don't smarten up this time, I'm afraid to say, you talked about the canola farmer earlier, I think there's some elements in this country that are ready to pack it in.

00:30:28.640 And I hope that is the case.

00:30:29.820 I hope I'm definitely wrong, but I've never seen anything like this before.

00:30:33.080 And I've been around long enough to remember, you know, Western alienation, the Western Canada concept, the victory at Olds Didsbury.

00:30:40.080 I mean, a lot of these things, people would look at me, their eyes would roll.

00:30:43.060 History is important to understand because I think the future of this country is most uncertain now.

00:30:47.200 So you think the polling might be affected by the amount of money they're getting from, you know.

00:30:54.680 Yeah, no, I know it is because I think there's also, if you look at one of the polls I saw last week from Nick Nanos, and I got a hold of someone who works with him, said, why are you polling 50% of the people over 60 years of age?

00:31:04.540 I know I'm in that category, but, and I have the gray hair to prove it, but we don't represent the majority of Canadians.

00:31:10.680 It's the under 60 that do, and they're not voting liberal.

00:31:13.080 So why that? So there was a slight tweaking in the poll, and guess what?

00:31:16.840 It showed the Conservatives moving up, the Liberals moving down as a result of that.

00:31:19.700 I think the next two weeks are really the point which people are going to spend a lot of time looking at the facts.

00:31:24.420 And it's not voting well for Mr. Carney. He can't use the Trump issue anymore.

00:31:28.240 The Liberals can't use the Trump issue anymore.

00:31:29.840 What we can use is what happened in Ingersoll, Ontario, which I predicted a month ago with the closure of the bright drop.

00:31:36.000 All this public money that's been, you know, fire and smoke have been blown to pieces. 0.99

00:31:42.380 You as Canadians, we as Canadians have given money to these people so they could invest in stupidity, 0.99

00:31:47.540 which has now created a situation where not only do we have massive deficits, we've got nothing to show for it, 0.98

00:31:52.200 and we no longer have an automobile, viable automotive sector in Ontario.

00:31:55.880 Thanks, Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney.

00:31:59.160 Looks like working together has worked very much decidedly against the interests of Canadians, both short-term and long-term.

00:32:05.140 Exactly. So do you see this election breaking over the next, we've got two weeks and a day precisely until April 28th.

00:32:14.980 Do you see this breaking towards the Conservatives and Polly over this time, Kerry?

00:32:20.560 Not with the pollsters, but I'm seeing on the street, I'm knocking on doors.

00:32:23.700 It's a great feeling. In fact, I'm going up today to help one candidate.

00:32:28.460 For anybody who's in Hamilton and Wentworth, you'll see me.

00:32:31.240 I'll be knocking at the doors with Erica Alexander, the granddaughter of the great Lincoln Alexander.

00:32:38.220 And I'm getting a very different reading from the ground.

00:32:41.580 In Liberal polls, people aren't bamboozled.

00:32:44.540 They're not swayed.

00:32:45.380 They can't change their mind of what they've seen in the past 10 years based on what's happened in the past three weeks.

00:32:50.340 So I think there's one of the most interesting things that has Liberals nervous.

00:32:55.120 And I've spoken to a couple of them.

00:32:56.220 They don't like talking to me all the time now like they used to because they know I'm not supporting the Liberals in any way, shape or form because they're not the Liberals.

00:33:02.820 What they're nervous at, the Conservative vote is committed.

00:33:07.420 And for people like Chantal Liberti who go say, well, Trudeau had these rallies with 10,000, 15,000 people in 1979.

00:33:12.800 Hey, Chantal, unlike you, when we went to my school, high school, I was actually there and there wasn't 20,000 people there.

00:33:20.160 And in fact, we came damn close to winning that election anyways.

00:33:22.340 But at the end of the day, you only had one event.

00:33:24.680 You didn't have 10 or 15 events where you polled that many people, even if it was 10 or 15,000.

00:33:29.320 Poliev has a very strong backing.

00:33:32.120 And this time, the Conservative vote is actually coming out.

00:33:34.960 And that's got to make the Liberals very, very nervous.

00:33:36.800 Notwithstanding the fact that the new Democrats can't stay dead forever.

00:33:39.820 However, some of those NDP hardliners, especially the workers up in places like Sault Ste. Marie and Kenora and other places like that, are eventually going to go back to their own and realize, you know, the only, there's no point in a new Democrat, a socialist, supporting a banker.

00:33:53.200 It's not going to happen.

00:33:55.400 Well, I know you're on the verge of going out right now and door knocking on behalf of the Conservative candidates there.

00:34:01.880 And that's something I don't think a lot of people would have imagined.

00:34:05.020 Just like I just was reading yesterday, Erwin Kotler, a former Justice Minister, Liberal Justice Minister, is supporting the Conservatives at the time.

00:34:12.880 And I really do think, I really do think that Mark Carney was a manufactured candidate.

00:34:18.540 It's a guy with absolutely no business being leader of the Liberal Party or Prime Minister.

00:34:25.000 He was just taken and stalled by globalists, by people who just don't give a damn about Canadian democracy.

00:34:32.120 And now his campaign, I think, is being completely manufactured.

00:34:37.760 And it just kills me because he hasn't got an original thought in his head.

00:34:44.200 I mean, there's all that talk about his plagiarizing his doctorate back at Harvard.

00:34:48.340 But he's stealing policies every week for Polly.

00:34:51.860 And of course, if they're Polly's policies, they're bad.

00:34:55.560 But if Carney takes them, they're good.

00:34:58.440 And it's just incredible.

00:35:00.780 And he can't deviate from the same talking points he's been using from the day one he started his liberal leadership race.

00:35:10.900 It's the same script.

00:35:13.180 And it amazes me.

00:35:14.680 And I've talked to people who have gone to his coffee clutches and go to his so-called rallies today.

00:35:21.660 And it's the same thing over and over again.

00:35:25.740 And the only difference is when he says, hey, I think I'll take that policy from Polly.

00:35:31.780 And I think I can use that.

00:35:33.920 And so I think you're dead on.

00:35:36.440 And a lot of conservatives are very depressed right now.

00:35:39.220 They're thinking, my God, the polls are terrible.

00:35:41.480 People, even abacus, which is usually fairly positive.

00:35:44.800 And I knew David Coletto when I was with Sun News.

00:35:47.940 I think he's probably the most objective pollster out there.

00:35:51.360 But even his polls are not looking great.

00:35:53.920 But I think you hit the nail on the head.

00:35:57.560 They're talking to too many people who are over 60. 1.00

00:36:01.180 And, of course, that's the strongest segment of the liberal vote.

00:36:04.900 These are people who really think Polly was going to come in and Donald Trump them back to an age of no Social Security.

00:36:13.660 They really believe that.

00:36:15.300 And it's the young people who can't afford a house, who can't even afford rent in any Canadian city. 0.99

00:36:23.960 Some of them are homeless.

00:36:25.620 And they can't even imagine a day coming when they can own their own home and start a family.

00:36:31.540 Those are the ones who are madder than hell.

00:36:34.080 And I think that's, if anything comes out of this, that's exactly what the statement is,

00:36:40.680 is that it's the younger people who have been disenfranchised by Justin Trudeau.

00:36:45.300 Big time.

00:36:45.840 Would you agree?

00:36:46.920 Yeah, I mean, kids come back to their parents and say, thanks for pooching my future.

00:36:50.500 You got your pension.

00:36:51.680 You got your house that's paid off.

00:36:52.980 You got the nice car.

00:36:53.960 You got everything going for you.

00:36:55.320 What about me?

00:36:56.280 You've saddled me with 62 trillion, 62 billion in annual accumulated debts and $1.3 trillion and no future.

00:37:05.260 A future in which I can't even find work because you've flooded the country with people who work for nothing. 1.00

00:37:09.260 I mean, on so many fronts, David, the country has fallen.

00:37:13.720 The country is sliding towards, you know, an abysmal outcome.

00:37:19.160 I mean, the lowest GDP numbers productivity in the world.

00:37:23.960 I mean, that's pretty significant when you, you know, you've got to sort of bring your country's level of growth down to, you know, levels that we don't see even in the third world.

00:37:33.780 The fact is that we're in a very, very, very difficult position.

00:37:38.860 And denialism by those who have much while denying that to the next generation is pretty bad.

00:37:46.240 My parents didn't do that to me.

00:37:47.720 Their parents didn't do that to them.

00:37:49.660 But this generation, selfishly, to a large extent, is doing it to them.

00:37:52.760 And I'm not referring to everybody who's a boomer.

00:37:54.500 But I'm saying boomers have a lot to account for because they've done a terrible thing by their very bad choices. 1.00

00:38:01.680 Wokeness does not work in Canada.

00:38:03.660 Practicality does.

00:38:04.500 Reality does.

00:38:05.180 It's time for them to wake up before it's too late and do at least something for the next generation.

00:38:09.860 Because right now, the way it's going, there won't be much of a Canada left economically to be able to survive our next decade or two.

00:38:16.660 Well, Dan, if there was ever an MP who defined and embodied integrity, it was you.

00:38:23.900 You always put principle ahead of expediency above what would have been easy.

00:38:29.480 You often took the hard road.

00:38:31.220 And I admire you for that.

00:38:32.600 I always have.

00:38:33.520 And that's why I consider you a good friend.

00:38:35.580 I have known you from your days in the House of Commons when I labored there as a staffer.

00:38:40.120 And it's so refreshing to hear your honesty and your frankness at this stage, at this hour, in this country's history.

00:38:48.680 And I think we need to hear more of you.

00:38:51.020 This is why you're always welcome on this show.

00:38:52.940 It's always a pleasure to greet you.

00:38:54.940 I know you're anxious to get out and start knocking doors.

00:38:57.380 So thank you for joining me, Dan.

00:38:58.980 We love you here.

00:39:00.240 Thank you for having me.

00:39:01.980 And we'll see you again soon.

00:39:03.640 So you get out there knocking some doors.

00:39:05.940 Bye for now.

00:39:06.840 Take care.

00:39:07.120 That was Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP from Scarborough and a very dear friend over the years.

00:39:13.600 One of the politicians I've admired because he stood by principle when it was much easier to jettison principles.

00:39:21.720 He did that on a lot of issues over the years.

00:39:23.680 He continues to stand by principle today.

00:39:26.400 And I tell you, I wish more politicians had that courage and that ability to speak the truth to power the way Dan does.

00:39:37.680 I'll be back with some closing remarks in a minute.

00:39:40.260 I'll be back with you later.
