Stand on Guard with David Krayden - Did Canadians Deserve This？｜ Stand on Guard

00:00:00.000 I don't know that the government currently has fiscal anchors.

00:00:07.320 A new parliamentary budget officer talking about the Mark Carney government

00:00:10.680 being without any fiscal anchors. I'm David Creighton. Thank you for joining me

00:00:16.820 on this Wednesday morning, September 17th. We'll be back shortly with some,

00:00:24.600 I hope, matters of interest.

00:00:30.000 The Prime Minister lied and his minions continue to lie.

00:00:36.260 Your home is your castle. We're calling on the government to introduce and immediately pass

00:00:42.260 the Stand on Guard Law.

00:00:46.360 So we also need to resolve to resist.

00:00:49.160 First, please like the station. Like the channel. We really appreciate you doing that. And subscribe.

00:01:03.500 We need your subscriptions.

00:01:05.040 We always say we're lagging behind where we should be.

00:01:11.180 I can take the suppression. And I know your support is so important.

00:01:14.500 I appreciate it in any way possible.

00:01:17.640 Lots to discuss today.

00:01:19.420 And by the way, this is David Creighton broadcasting to you live.

00:01:23.940 I sometimes forget to mention that.

00:01:25.780 From Ottawa.

00:01:27.660 And of course, Parliament's back.

00:01:30.160 And so far, it's been a rocky ride for the Carney liberals.

00:01:36.080 Because we understand the new parliamentary budget officer

00:01:39.120 appeared before the Standing Committee

00:01:41.340 on government operations and estimates.

00:01:46.520 And that's where we had that opening quotation,

00:01:51.700 that opening comment about no, there's no anchor to this government.

00:01:56.020 And we're not going to get a budget now till November.

00:01:58.940 Let's watch the rest of that clip. 0.52

00:02:00.840 Before we get into, and I've got to preface this by saying,

00:02:03.820 this news about Chrystia Freeland being this special envoy to Ukraine for reconstruction

00:02:10.820 is not just wishful thinking, it's insanity.

00:02:14.120 And we'll get into that later.

00:02:15.160 I know a lot of you are thinking, oh, you know, we're free of Freeland.

00:02:19.900 But here she goes. 0.57

00:02:21.680 And some of you have already pointed out in your comments,

00:02:24.520 she's going to go to Ukraine and potentially cash in on the billions of dollars 1.00

00:02:31.640 that Canada, the United States, and other NATO allies have poured into Ukraine.

00:02:37.860 And they have been absolutely pilfered by President Volomar Zelensky

00:02:44.380 and his corrupt government, billions of dollars.

00:02:47.720 And we've got Doug McGregor, a Doug McGregor clip on later to say very succinctly,

00:02:54.020 how corrupt is Zelensky?

00:02:56.980 Well, I think, let's just say Chrystia Freeland, 0.63

00:03:00.840 whose grandfather was a Nazi propagandist in Poland during the Second World War,

00:03:06.040 should feel very much at home in Ukraine.

00:03:08.880 She's been working for Ukraine for the last 10 years, at least.

00:03:14.200 Not Canada. 0.53

00:03:15.240 She works for Ukraine.

00:03:16.320 It's Ukraine first for Chrystia Freeland.

00:03:20.500 And that's what it's going to be as soon as she lands in the country.

00:03:25.080 Let's say it's going to be heels down with Chrystia Freeland there. 1.00

00:03:29.060 The government currently has fiscal anchors.

00:03:34.020 I guess I want to get right to some of the questions that we have

00:03:37.780 based on the reports that have been released to date.

00:03:41.420 Would you agree that with a clear definition of what counts as operating spending,

00:03:47.800 it's impossible to evaluate whether the government is on track

00:03:52.380 to meet its fiscal anchors?

00:03:54.760 I would say, officially, within the office,

00:04:03.200 I don't know that the government currently has fiscal anchors,

00:04:06.720 which, of course, causes the people that I work with

00:04:10.780 a considerable degree of concern at this point.

00:04:13.820 As everyone knows, the government did have fiscal anchors.

00:04:17.620 The previous Minister of Finance had the fiscal anchor

00:04:19.860 of a ceiling of the annual deficit at 1% of GDP,

00:04:24.140 along with a declining debt-to-GDP ratio.

00:04:27.500 It's unclear where those stand.

00:04:29.800 They haven't been reiterated by the current government,

00:04:32.320 to the best of my knowledge.

00:04:34.140 With respect to your point regarding the capital and the operating side,

00:04:40.220 we haven't seen a clear definition of what would fall into capital

00:04:43.960 and what would fall into operating.

00:04:46.100 So at this point, it's impossible for us

00:04:48.520 and for you as parliamentarians to assess

00:04:51.680 the likelihood or probability of the government

00:04:54.900 to hitting any fiscal target.

00:04:58.080 Thank you very much.

00:04:59.880 So do you have any idea of when the government will give

00:05:04.840 a concrete definition of its spending criteria,

00:05:08.460 what its fiscal anchors may be,

00:05:10.420 so that you can do the very important work

00:05:13.200 of monitoring the government's spending plans?

00:05:18.060 The short answer is no.

00:05:19.720 There's a longer answer I can give to you if you have more time,

00:05:22.480 but the longer answer is

00:05:23.980 we're expecting, we're waiting for budget 2025

00:05:27.460 at this point.

00:05:29.060 So traditionally what happens is

00:05:30.740 all is revealed in a 400 to 500 page document.

00:05:33.740 And at that point, we will have a clear sense

00:05:36.580 of precisely what the fiscal anchors are.

00:05:39.560 And if the fiscal anchor continues to be balancing

00:05:42.660 an operating budget, hopefully at that point,

00:05:45.580 there will be a definition of what that operating budget

00:05:48.380 actually means.

00:05:50.700 So this seems to be the buzzword now

00:05:52.940 for the new session of parliament, fiscal anchors,

00:05:55.400 which of course is a completely foreign concept to Mark Carney

00:05:59.200 because he's got two books.

00:06:01.160 He's got the real budget and the operating budget.

00:06:03.140 This is called cooking the books

00:06:05.060 where you have two sets of books.

00:06:07.420 So you can pretend we're not really operating

00:06:09.960 at this kind of a deficit level.

00:06:12.100 The national debt's not rising incrementally

00:06:14.580 or in vast stages.

00:06:16.900 We're going to have two budgets

00:06:18.760 so nobody kind of notices, you know.

00:06:21.920 And that, of course, is unclear

00:06:26.140 if the federal government still has fiscal anchors,

00:06:28.540 says the parliamentary president.

00:06:33.140 Budgetary officer.

00:06:35.060 Who's Mr. Jacques, who was just on there explaining that.

00:06:39.360 Now, I want to show you how this has reverberated

00:06:41.580 in the financial community

00:06:45.240 because it's quite something.

00:06:47.880 Have a look at this letter from,

00:06:52.300 this is a, shall we say, a group of energy producers,

00:06:56.700 Canadian Natural, Build Canada Now.

00:06:59.200 An open letter to the prime minister of Canada.

00:07:02.260 That would be Mark Carney.

00:07:04.240 So six months have passed since the first

00:07:06.060 Build Canada Now letter was sent to you.

00:07:08.700 And the leaders of Canada's other political parties

00:07:10.480 outlining an action plan

00:07:12.160 to unlock Canada's world-class oil

00:07:14.760 and natural gas resources

00:07:16.540 to strengthen Canada's economic sovereignty,

00:07:19.380 resilience, and prosperity.

00:07:22.760 After the election, we followed up

00:07:24.300 with a second letter expressing our support

00:07:26.140 for our shared vision.

00:07:27.160 Canada becoming an energy superpower.

00:07:29.540 Dot, dot, dot.

00:07:30.220 Since then, we have seen progress,

00:07:31.560 but it is insufficient to stimulate

00:07:33.740 the investment and growth required

00:07:35.700 to make this vision a reality.

00:07:38.940 Third paragraph.

00:07:39.820 However, Canada still lacks the clear,

00:07:42.320 competitive, and durable fiscal

00:07:43.660 and regulatory policies

00:07:45.060 required to achieve the so-called grand bargain.

00:07:48.920 Our call to action is urgent.

00:07:51.700 Four paragraphs.

00:07:56.660 To reiterate, we believe,

00:07:59.380 next paragraph,

00:08:00.600 we believe that your government

00:08:01.620 must focus on the following.

00:08:03.100 Significantly simplify regulations,

00:08:05.720 shorten timelines for project approvals,

00:08:07.980 commit to growth production,

00:08:09.820 not limited.

00:08:10.940 Fiscal framework that attracts investment,

00:08:13.560 incent indigenous investment opportunities.

00:08:16.660 That sounds exactly

00:08:17.620 what the conservative platform is, actually.

00:08:20.080 Here's who signed this.

00:08:21.980 Brandon L. Anderson,

00:08:23.360 President and CEO,

00:08:24.200 North River Midstream Incorporated.

00:08:26.000 Terry Anderson,

00:08:27.860 President and Chief Executive Officer,

00:08:30.280 ARC Resources,

00:08:31.720 ARC Resources Limited.

00:08:33.280 Doug Bortol,

00:08:34.320 President and CEO,

00:08:35.140 InPlay Oil Corporation.

00:08:36.220 And the list goes on,

00:08:38.260 and you can say on and on and on.

00:08:40.540 So there's a sense,

00:08:42.320 I think here,

00:08:42.860 not only dissatisfaction

00:08:44.160 with Mark Carney's tardiness

00:08:45.760 and indolence at times,

00:08:48.960 but with what,

00:08:50.180 but a satisfaction

00:08:51.580 with what Pierre Polyev is proposing

00:08:53.580 on the conservative side.

00:08:55.060 So I find this

00:08:55.900 well worth noting,

00:09:00.240 which is the reason I did.

00:09:02.020 Now let's go through

00:09:03.000 some of

00:09:03.480 Chrystia Freeland's

00:09:05.060 shining hours here.

00:09:07.340 And,

00:09:07.620 you know,

00:09:08.660 Chrystia Freeland is somebody

00:09:09.700 we all love to dislike.

00:09:11.540 I'm not going to say hate,

00:09:12.320 because we shouldn't hate anybody,

00:09:13.580 especially after what happened

00:09:14.620 last week

00:09:15.540 in Utah.

00:09:16.900 We should not hate anybody,

00:09:18.340 but it's not easy

00:09:20.600 to like Chrystia Freeland.

00:09:22.400 Not just because of her policies,

00:09:23.720 but she's grating.

00:09:25.140 She has the most 0.90

00:09:25.620 annoying personality

00:09:27.200 with that

00:09:28.400 teacher voice,

00:09:31.160 that voice

00:09:32.100 that suggests

00:09:33.220 I'm the only one

00:09:34.440 in the room

00:09:34.940 who knows anything.

00:09:35.860 Why am I surrounded

00:09:36.700 by these simpletons?

00:09:38.820 Yes,

00:09:39.120 and there she is.

00:09:42.180 There she is,

00:09:43.060 surrounded by

00:09:43.820 Ukrainian supporters,

00:09:45.060 and that's what

00:09:45.900 Chrystia Freeland's

00:09:47.660 all about.

00:09:48.500 Bankrupting Canada

00:09:49.360 and supporting Ukraine.

00:09:51.400 She's been very clear

00:09:52.360 about that.

00:09:52.860 And by the way,

00:09:53.460 Francois-Philippe Champagne,

00:09:55.360 our finance minister,

00:09:56.700 says no budget

00:09:57.380 until November 4th now.

00:10:01.980 Do you suppose

00:10:03.080 they might actually

00:10:04.660 wait until December?

00:10:06.340 It's happened before.

00:10:07.480 That's what happened

00:10:07.980 to Joe Clark's

00:10:08.860 minority government

00:10:09.680 in 1979.

00:10:11.120 It fell

00:10:12.040 because they had

00:10:13.120 a pre-Christmas budget.

00:10:15.220 John Crosby,

00:10:16.120 I remember this very well,

00:10:17.060 the finance minister

00:10:17.960 of the day,

00:10:18.940 strode into the House

00:10:19.880 of Commons

00:10:20.260 wearing mucklucks

00:10:21.120 because, of course,

00:10:23.120 it was mid-December.

00:10:26.340 Joe Clark introduces

00:10:27.280 a budget

00:10:27.880 and it has a,

00:10:29.580 I think it was

00:10:30.320 a 17-cent surcharge

00:10:32.080 on gas,

00:10:32.800 of course,

00:10:33.160 when gas was still

00:10:33.940 sold by the gallon.

00:10:36.900 And 17 cents

00:10:38.660 a gallon surcharge.

00:10:40.580 And it was less

00:10:41.800 than a dollar

00:10:42.260 a gallon

00:10:42.660 at the time.

00:10:43.200 So,

00:10:44.460 Joe Clark government

00:10:45.560 was defeated

00:10:46.220 over that budget.

00:10:47.820 And what do you bet

00:10:48.580 they stall

00:10:49.280 until December here?

00:10:50.560 I just,

00:10:51.600 yes,

00:10:52.160 isn't that touching?

00:10:53.900 There's,

00:10:54.920 and of course,

00:10:55.760 of course we know

00:10:56.780 that Mark Carney's

00:10:58.300 the godfather

00:10:59.880 of Christy Freeland's

00:11:01.400 children.

00:11:02.160 And it's just touching

00:11:03.400 to see the two of them

00:11:04.180 together.

00:11:04.660 Such political cronies.

00:11:06.620 Oh,

00:11:07.320 it's just lovely.

00:11:08.280 And it's,

00:11:09.500 here's Mark Carney's

00:11:10.740 statement

00:11:11.320 saying that,

00:11:13.380 oh,

00:11:13.720 isn't,

00:11:14.060 isn't she lucky?

00:11:14.900 This is her dream job.

00:11:16.200 As she takes the decision

00:11:17.440 to step down

00:11:18.640 from the ministry,

00:11:19.460 I would like to thank

00:11:20.360 Christy Freeland

00:11:20.960 for her extraordinary

00:11:22.400 service in the cabinet

00:11:23.780 of Canada's federal government

00:11:24.940 over the past decade.

00:11:27.700 This is a little hard,

00:11:29.380 it's hard to read.

00:11:31.620 Christy's versatility,

00:11:34.100 raw intelligence,

00:11:35.460 intelligence and principled

00:11:37.800 leadership have served

00:11:39.020 Canadians with a distinction

00:11:40.900 through extraordinary

00:11:43.160 challenges and changes.

00:11:45.460 Her leadership has helped

00:11:46.540 to secure historic

00:11:48.360 trade negotiations

00:11:50.180 to guide,

00:11:51.560 oh my goodness,

00:11:53.160 I can't,

00:11:53.580 I can't,

00:11:54.040 to guide the response

00:11:55.340 to a global pandemic.

00:11:56.720 Yeah,

00:11:56.940 yeah,

00:11:57.380 what did she do

00:11:57.960 about that global pandemic?

00:12:00.040 Oh,

00:12:00.700 just a minute here,

00:12:01.680 folks.

00:12:03.580 Let,

00:12:03.980 I've got it here.

00:12:04.800 What did she do

00:12:05.740 about that global pandemic?

00:12:08.900 That accounts

00:12:09.980 have been frozen

00:12:10.820 both personal

00:12:11.620 and corporate

00:12:12.200 but you're not

00:12:12.840 releasing the information

00:12:13.860 and the actual

00:12:14.540 follow-up is

00:12:15.360 I'm just wondering

00:12:16.780 whether the bank accounts

00:12:17.860 will be targeted

00:12:18.460 of individuals

00:12:19.100 who donated

00:12:20.560 to the Give,

00:12:21.240 Send,

00:12:21.500 Go and the

00:12:22.320 GoFundMe campaigns.

00:12:23.420 Are they considered

00:12:24.060 designated people

00:12:25.000 under the Emergencies Act

00:12:26.120 meaning that their

00:12:27.000 credit cards could be cut

00:12:28.120 and financial services

00:12:29.520 are targeting them as well?

00:12:31.300 Okay,

00:12:31.820 so the names

00:12:34.380 of both individuals

00:12:35.420 and entities

00:12:36.780 as well as

00:12:38.800 crypto wallets

00:12:39.960 have been shared

00:12:42.020 by the RCMP

00:12:43.660 with financial institutions

00:12:46.140 and accounts

00:12:48.260 have been frozen

00:12:49.780 and more accounts

00:12:51.480 will be frozen.

00:12:53.800 Crowdfunding platforms

00:12:55.460 and payment service providers

00:12:58.080 have started the registration process

00:13:00.560 with FinTrack.

00:13:03.660 In terms of the specifics

00:13:05.840 on whose accounts

00:13:07.920 are being frozen

00:13:09.060 you now

00:13:11.320 have

00:13:12.560 the regulations

00:13:13.800 the financial service providers

00:13:16.300 have those regulations

00:13:17.900 as well

00:13:18.900 and they

00:13:20.040 working with law enforcement

00:13:21.460 will be making

00:13:22.640 the operational decisions.

00:13:25.680 Thank you True Norr

00:13:26.980 for that clip by the way

00:13:27.880 because I

00:13:28.240 I've used that several times

00:13:30.220 during the Freedom Convoy

00:13:31.340 of course

00:13:31.580 that's what she did

00:13:32.140 she froze the bank accounts

00:13:33.180 not only of protesters

00:13:34.620 but people who supported them

00:13:36.440 absolutely incredible

00:13:38.940 she froze the bank accounts

00:13:41.100 of protesters

00:13:42.020 and supporters

00:13:42.700 just because she felt like it

00:13:44.280 and I remember her appearing

00:13:46.140 at the

00:13:46.720 Emergencies Act Inquiry

00:13:48.520 which was about

00:13:49.800 two years ago now

00:13:51.000 in November

00:13:52.460 2023

00:13:53.460 and she took the stand

00:13:55.640 and she was

00:13:56.280 she was asked questions

00:13:57.300 about

00:13:57.660 well you know

00:13:58.260 why did she

00:13:58.980 invoke such

00:14:00.680 incredible powers

00:14:01.920 as part of the

00:14:02.660 Emergencies Act

00:14:03.400 why did she

00:14:03.940 why did she have 0.64

00:14:04.880 the gall

00:14:05.720 to freeze people's

00:14:07.360 personal bank accounts

00:14:08.480 and some business accounts

00:14:10.280 too by the way

00:14:10.800 she

00:14:11.560 she said

00:14:12.780 because

00:14:13.160 she

00:14:13.900 people in the United States

00:14:15.620 were describing Canada

00:14:16.880 like a third world

00:14:18.260 banana republic

00:14:19.200 hmm

00:14:20.260 maybe they meant

00:14:21.760 we were acting

00:14:23.140 like a third world

00:14:24.020 banana republic

00:14:24.780 because people like you

00:14:25.840 and Justin Trudeau

00:14:26.580 were in charge

00:14:27.160 taking basic human rights

00:14:28.740 away

00:14:29.060 absolutely suppressing

00:14:31.480 freedom of assembly

00:14:32.760 absolutely crushing

00:14:34.140 free speech

00:14:35.120 absolutely decimating

00:14:37.200 the constitution

00:14:38.560 maybe that's

00:14:40.280 why

00:14:40.960 people

00:14:41.780 in the United States

00:14:43.300 told you that Canada

00:14:44.320 looked like a banana republic

00:14:46.020 here's another

00:14:47.000 proud moment

00:14:48.940 and Chrystia Freeland's

00:14:50.680 story passed

00:14:51.840 but the

00:14:56.920 the system we have now

00:14:58.880 has actually

00:15:00.100 broken down

00:15:01.080 only we haven't

00:15:02.500 quite

00:15:03.460 recognized it

00:15:04.860 and so you need to

00:15:06.360 create a new one

00:15:07.980 and this is the time

00:15:09.460 to do it

00:15:11.140 in the United States

00:15:12.580 how worried are you

00:15:13.780 about the budget deficit

00:15:15.040 and maybe about

00:15:16.060 the possibility of inflation

00:15:17.300 well

00:15:18.000 certainly

00:15:21.300 a decline

00:15:24.320 in the value

00:15:25.000 of the dollar

00:15:25.740 is necessary

00:15:27.280 in order

00:15:28.400 to

00:15:29.400 compensate

00:15:30.900 for the fact

00:15:31.980 that

00:15:32.820 the U.S. economy

00:15:34.660 will remain

00:15:36.280 rather weak

00:15:37.320 will be a drag 0.66

00:15:38.560 on the global

00:15:39.780 economy

00:15:40.700 China

00:15:42.580 will emerge

00:15:43.780 as the motor

00:15:45.280 replacing

00:15:46.400 the U.S. consumer

00:15:47.900 and of course

00:15:49.640 it's a

00:15:50.160 smaller

00:15:51.000 all right

00:15:51.740 did you catch that

00:15:53.000 this is

00:15:54.040 Chrystia Freeland

00:15:54.940 2009

00:15:55.980 he's a journalist

00:15:57.380 interviewing

00:15:58.620 George Soros

00:15:59.700 of course

00:16:00.140 they have lots

00:16:00.860 in common

00:16:01.540 and George Soros

00:16:02.940 is predicting

00:16:03.540 China is going 0.98

00:16:04.460 to overtake

00:16:05.100 the United States

00:16:06.020 as the

00:16:07.560 chief economic

00:16:08.620 power

00:16:09.080 in the world

00:16:09.680 now

00:16:10.220 Chrystia Freeland

00:16:11.180 is now working

00:16:11.780 for a man

00:16:12.340 well

00:16:13.140 not much longer

00:16:13.980 but well

00:16:14.720 I guess

00:16:15.000 indirectly

00:16:15.440 she will be

00:16:16.000 Mark Carney

00:16:17.220 who has spent

00:16:18.100 a lot

00:16:18.700 of his

00:16:19.460 professional life

00:16:20.620 ensuring

00:16:21.480 that China 0.93

00:16:22.160 does

00:16:22.840 supersede

00:16:23.880 the United States

00:16:24.720 as the chief

00:16:25.320 economic engine

00:16:26.400 in the world

00:16:26.940 so

00:16:27.960 it seems

00:16:29.200 to be

00:16:29.760 serendipitous

00:16:30.660 here

00:16:31.100 here's

00:16:31.980 Chrystia Freeland

00:16:32.660 talking to

00:16:33.260 George Soros

00:16:33.800 I'm sure

00:16:34.220 one of her

00:16:34.820 heroes

00:16:35.200 who

00:16:36.100 of course

00:16:37.240 supplants

00:16:37.980 left-wing

00:16:38.460 organizations

00:16:39.160 all over

00:16:39.640 the world

00:16:40.000 and

00:16:40.580 is

00:16:41.100 vital

00:16:43.380 to

00:16:44.600 putting

00:16:45.020 leftists

00:16:45.580 in control

00:16:46.580 of

00:16:47.120 district

00:16:47.900 attorney

00:16:48.360 positions

00:16:48.860 throughout

00:16:49.080 the United

00:16:49.440 States

00:16:49.760 for instance

00:16:50.240 and here's

00:16:51.820 Chrystia Freeland

00:16:52.420 talking to

00:16:54.640 George Soros

00:16:55.300 as a journalist

00:16:55.900 and I've got

00:16:56.800 more to add

00:16:57.340 after this

00:16:58.260 because the

00:16:59.660 Chinese economy

00:17:00.420 is much

00:17:00.880 smaller

00:17:01.260 so the

00:17:02.380 world economy

00:17:03.100 will have

00:17:03.660 less of a

00:17:04.260 motor

00:17:04.560 so it

00:17:05.320 will move

00:17:05.900 forward

00:17:06.680 slower

00:17:07.620 than it

00:17:08.260 has in

00:17:08.740 the last

00:17:09.240 25

00:17:10.860 years

00:17:11.400 but

00:17:12.300 China

00:17:13.420 will be

00:17:14.020 the engine

00:17:15.480 driving it

00:17:17.140 forward

00:17:17.520 and the

00:17:18.420 U.S.

00:17:18.820 will be

00:17:19.840 actually

00:17:20.360 a drag 0.72

00:17:21.980 that's being

00:17:22.820 pulled along

00:17:23.900 through a

00:17:25.140 gradual decline

00:17:26.200 in the value

00:17:27.260 of the dollar

00:17:27.880 so there

00:17:29.140 would be

00:17:29.620 a slow

00:17:30.740 decline

00:17:32.960 in the value

00:17:33.560 of the dollar

00:17:34.180 a managed

00:17:35.440 decline

00:17:36.480 and that

00:17:37.240 would be

00:17:37.740 the adjustment

00:17:39.560 that it

00:17:40.160 needs to

00:17:40.700 be accomplished

00:17:41.440 interestingly

00:17:44.500 enough

00:17:45.040 here we

00:17:45.320 are in

00:17:45.540 2025

00:17:46.100 the U.S.

00:17:47.560 dollar

00:17:47.800 is being

00:17:48.780 devalued

00:17:49.560 and of course

00:17:50.880 we had a guest

00:17:51.480 on here

00:17:52.000 an

00:17:52.660 Alberta

00:17:53.820 banker

00:17:54.360 I've had him

00:17:55.500 on twice

00:17:56.040 to talk about

00:17:57.140 the fact

00:17:57.540 that Mark

00:17:57.880 Carney

00:17:58.080 wants to

00:17:58.580 devalue

00:17:59.100 the Canadian

00:17:59.720 and the U.S.

00:18:00.640 dollars

00:18:00.920 for the benefit

00:18:02.320 of his

00:18:02.880 European

00:18:03.320 friends

00:18:04.200 so George

00:18:05.660 Soros 0.94

00:18:06.060 here he

00:18:06.400 is

00:18:06.700 16

00:18:07.740 years

00:18:08.140 ago

00:18:08.460 predicting

00:18:09.620 the U.S.

00:18:10.200 dollar

00:18:10.420 would be

00:18:10.760 devalued

00:18:11.280 and China

00:18:11.700 would become

00:18:12.140 the chief

00:18:12.460 economic

00:18:12.900 engine

00:18:13.200 in the world

00:18:13.560 where are

00:18:13.980 we headed

00:18:14.380 right now

00:18:15.740 and

00:18:16.960 Christia

00:18:17.520 Freeland

00:18:17.940 after this

00:18:19.240 interview

00:18:19.480 she remarked

00:18:20.100 that she

00:18:20.300 was going

00:18:20.700 places

00:18:21.520 was she

00:18:23.460 talking about

00:18:24.080 going places

00:18:24.900 because it

00:18:25.700 wasn't far

00:18:26.240 off

00:18:26.480 she became

00:18:27.040 a member

00:18:28.240 of Trudeau's

00:18:28.780 cabinet

00:18:29.080 and then

00:18:29.800 became the

00:18:30.360 finance

00:18:30.780 minister

00:18:31.200 is that

00:18:31.920 what she

00:18:32.220 meant

00:18:32.460 she was

00:18:32.820 going

00:18:33.100 places

00:18:33.580 well

00:18:34.720 she's

00:18:35.020 going

00:18:35.220 places

00:18:35.700 again

00:18:36.300 yeah

00:18:38.940 Christia

00:18:39.480 Freeland

00:18:39.760 is going

00:18:40.080 places

00:18:40.520 again

00:18:40.940 and

00:18:41.420 you just

00:18:42.640 can't

00:18:42.980 keep a

00:18:43.320 woman 0.99

00:18:43.500 like this

00:18:43.920 down

00:18:44.160 can you

00:18:44.540 here she

00:18:46.100 is

00:18:46.300 Christia

00:18:46.680 Freeland

00:18:47.060 a special

00:18:48.260 international

00:18:49.020 envoy

00:18:49.680 for Ukraine

00:18:50.880 would be

00:18:51.420 problematic

00:18:52.040 to both

00:18:52.860 Trump

00:18:53.220 and Putin

00:18:53.880 this is

00:18:57.860 Ivan

00:18:58.460 Kachan

00:18:59.700 sorry

00:19:00.580 Kachan

00:19:01.200 Vosky

00:19:02.020 should have

00:19:03.540 practiced

00:19:03.840 that

00:19:04.060 before

00:19:04.320 I went

00:19:04.500 on the

00:19:04.740 air

00:19:04.880 and

00:19:05.560 she

00:19:06.140 he

00:19:07.060 sorry

00:19:07.360 he

00:19:07.620 is

00:19:07.840 talking

00:19:08.200 about

00:19:08.480 Christia

00:19:08.860 Freeland

00:19:09.320 being

00:19:10.560 a big

00:19:11.420 problem

00:19:12.180 when she

00:19:13.400 arrives

00:19:13.820 there

00:19:14.100 Christia

00:19:14.580 Freeland

00:19:14.820 has never

00:19:15.460 brought

00:19:16.000 shall we

00:19:17.420 say

00:19:17.740 peace

00:19:19.000 and security

00:19:20.160 wherever she

00:19:20.960 goes

00:19:21.220 she brings

00:19:21.680 the exact

00:19:22.180 opposite

00:19:22.660 she brings

00:19:23.820 strife

00:19:24.720 and unrest

00:19:25.480 and

00:19:27.120 as I

00:19:31.320 say

00:19:31.500 don't

00:19:31.960 don't

00:19:32.760 celebrate

00:19:33.220 too

00:19:33.580 much

00:19:33.860 don't

00:19:34.100 applaud

00:19:34.460 too

00:19:34.720 loudly

00:19:35.220 that

00:19:35.820 Christia

00:19:36.180 Freeland

00:19:36.500 is

00:19:36.840 going

00:19:37.400 to

00:19:37.660 Ukraine

00:19:38.080 as a

00:19:38.540 special

00:19:38.980 envoy

00:19:39.500 and

00:19:40.560 here's

00:19:41.180 what I

00:19:41.660 have to

00:19:41.960 say

00:19:42.160 about

00:19:42.480 her

00:19:43.860 being

00:19:44.240 responsible

00:19:45.200 for

00:19:45.520 reconstruction

00:19:48.340 how arrogant

00:19:50.580 is the 0.90

00:19:51.360 Kearney

00:19:51.740 regime

00:19:52.360 to think

00:19:53.480 that

00:19:54.000 Canada

00:19:55.900 is going

00:19:56.260 to play

00:19:56.580 any role

00:19:57.260 in the

00:19:57.620 reconstruction

00:19:58.080 of Ukraine

00:19:58.960 of course

00:19:59.400 that's the

00:19:59.880 plan

00:20:00.260 right

00:20:00.560 Kearney

00:20:01.380 wants to

00:20:01.900 profit

00:20:02.580 off of

00:20:03.060 this

00:20:03.260 because

00:20:03.620 we

00:20:04.620 know

00:20:05.700 that

00:20:06.680 huge

00:20:07.500 corporations

00:20:09.140 that Kearney

00:20:10.120 has ties

00:20:10.800 to

00:20:11.100 want to

00:20:12.400 benefit

00:20:12.820 from the

00:20:13.940 reconstruction

00:20:14.420 of Ukraine

00:20:15.280 just like

00:20:15.860 they want

00:20:16.220 to benefit

00:20:16.660 from the

00:20:17.080 reconstruction

00:20:17.800 in Gaza

00:20:18.580 this is

00:20:19.400 what wars

00:20:19.940 are all

00:20:20.300 about

00:20:20.580 and once

00:20:21.460 again

00:20:21.700 if you

00:20:21.920 don't

00:20:22.080 know my

00:20:22.420 background

00:20:22.820 I'm

00:20:23.540 an

00:20:23.640 ex

00:20:23.860 air

00:20:24.500 force

00:20:24.780 officer

00:20:25.280 I'm

00:20:25.820 not

00:20:25.980 a

00:20:26.100 pacifist

00:20:26.700 I

00:20:26.900 believe

00:20:27.180 we

00:20:27.380 need

00:20:27.540 a

00:20:27.660 strong

00:20:27.920 military

00:20:28.440 but

00:20:29.080 I

00:20:29.220 think

00:20:29.600 we

00:20:29.740 need

00:20:29.900 that

00:20:30.040 strong

00:20:30.280 military

00:20:30.640 to

00:20:30.880 defend

00:20:31.300 ourselves

00:20:31.800 from

00:20:32.140 foreign

00:20:32.580 adversaries

00:20:33.260 and

00:20:33.500 invasion

00:20:33.860 not

00:20:34.660 to

00:20:34.980 send

00:20:35.200 our

00:20:35.340 troops

00:20:35.540 overseas

00:20:35.940 to

00:20:36.240 foment

00:20:36.740 wars

00:20:37.120 and

00:20:37.360 start

00:20:37.640 conflicts

00:20:38.120 that

00:20:38.360 didn't

00:20:38.720 need

00:20:38.920 to

00:20:39.040 be

00:20:39.160 started

00:20:39.460 and

00:20:40.860 this

00:20:41.020 is

00:20:41.200 the

00:20:41.440 foreign

00:20:41.740 policy

00:20:42.260 now

00:20:42.680 of

00:20:44.240 Western

00:20:44.640 powers

00:20:45.060 United

00:20:45.300 States

00:20:45.660 Canada

00:20:46.000 and

00:20:46.180 Europe

00:20:46.360 included

00:20:46.800 Donald

00:20:47.240 Trump

00:20:52.080 take

00:20:52.320 a

00:20:52.440 strong

00:20:52.740 stand

00:20:53.080 no

00:20:53.440 more

00:20:53.640 foreign

00:20:53.960 wars

00:20:54.320 no

00:20:54.680 and

00:20:55.940 stop

00:20:56.460 destroying

00:20:57.080 countries

00:20:57.760 so

00:20:58.080 that

00:20:58.460 crony

00:20:59.900 capitalists

00:21:00.820 with

00:21:01.820 connections

00:21:02.320 to the

00:21:03.340 government

00:21:03.780 to the

00:21:04.440 elites

00:21:04.900 can step

00:21:05.740 in

00:21:06.020 and make

00:21:06.580 billions

00:21:07.160 potentially

00:21:08.000 trillions

00:21:08.620 of dollars

00:21:09.780 rebuilding

00:21:11.240 the country

00:21:12.060 and we

00:21:13.880 know

00:21:14.380 that

00:21:14.900 this is

00:21:15.680 exactly

00:21:16.140 what

00:21:17.040 Mark

00:21:17.440 Carney

00:21:17.760 has in

00:21:18.680 mind

00:21:19.040 for

00:21:19.620 Ukraine

00:21:20.120 there's

00:21:21.160 going

00:21:21.320 to be

00:21:21.580 big

00:21:22.160 money

00:21:22.580 to be

00:21:23.060 made

00:21:23.400 from

00:21:23.900 reconstruction

00:21:24.540 but

00:21:25.260 what

00:21:25.580 if

00:21:26.000 just a

00:21:27.140 minute

00:21:27.300 Mark

00:21:27.600 Carney

00:21:27.860 what

00:21:28.680 if

00:21:29.000 Canada

00:21:29.920 or

00:21:31.060 NATO

00:21:31.420 has

00:21:32.760 nothing

00:21:33.060 to say

00:21:33.500 about

00:21:33.780 that

00:21:34.000 reconstruction

00:21:34.640 because

00:21:35.800 Russia

00:21:36.220 has won

00:21:36.900 the war

00:21:37.300 and

00:21:38.760 that's

00:21:39.020 fast

00:21:39.220 we'll

00:21:39.380 get to

00:21:39.600 that

00:21:39.780 in a

00:21:39.960 minute

00:21:40.100 but

00:21:40.260 here's

00:21:40.480 another

00:21:40.800 shining

00:21:41.300 moment

00:21:41.760 from

00:21:42.280 Christia

00:21:42.700 Freeland's

00:21:43.740 illustrious

00:21:44.460 career in

00:21:44.940 the

00:21:45.020 House

00:21:45.160 of

00:21:45.320 Commons 0.69

00:21:45.640 and

00:21:46.660 of

00:21:46.800 course

00:21:46.940 nobody

00:21:47.300 applauded

00:21:47.800 louder

00:21:48.160 and

00:21:49.180 longer

00:21:49.480 than

00:21:49.880 Christia

00:21:50.140 Freeland

00:21:50.340 when a

00:21:50.860 former

00:21:51.280 Waffen 0.61

00:21:52.260 SS

00:21:52.600 member

00:21:53.400 was

00:21:55.760 hailed

00:21:56.340 not

00:21:57.600 once

00:21:57.900 but twice

00:21:58.280 but three

00:21:58.600 times

00:21:58.940 in the

00:21:59.640 in the

00:22:00.180 parliamentary

00:22:00.660 gallery

00:22:01.140 for being

00:22:02.340 a

00:22:02.560 staunch

00:22:03.540 fighter

00:22:04.460 against

00:22:04.920 Russia

00:22:05.360 problem

00:22:06.460 was

00:22:06.840 he was

00:22:07.080 fighting

00:22:07.360 Russia

00:22:07.780 when

00:22:08.200 Russia

00:22:08.460 was

00:22:08.680 an

00:22:08.860 ally

00:22:09.180 of

00:22:09.460 Canada

00:22:09.840 United

00:22:10.200 States

00:22:10.640 and

00:22:10.800 Great

00:22:11.000 Britain

00:22:11.280 during

00:22:11.760 his

00:22:11.920 second

00:22:12.120 world

00:22:12.300 war

00:22:12.560 so

00:22:13.080 and

00:22:13.500 he

00:22:13.640 was

00:22:13.800 fighting

00:22:14.060 for

00:22:14.320 the

00:22:14.540 Nazi

00:22:15.320 Germans 0.98

00:22:15.900 whoops

00:22:16.680 that

00:22:17.400 was

00:22:17.560 in a

00:22:17.780 really

00:22:18.040 embarrassing

00:22:18.500 moment

00:22:18.820 Christia

00:22:19.560 Freeland

00:22:19.940 never

00:22:22.200 wanted to

00:22:22.560 talk about

00:22:22.960 that one

00:22:23.360 did she

00:22:23.660 we have

00:22:24.020 here in

00:22:24.420 the chamber

00:22:24.820 today

00:22:25.260 Ukrainian

00:22:25.820 Canadians

00:22:26.640 Ukrainian

00:22:27.740 Canadian

00:22:28.140 world

00:22:28.480 veteran

00:22:28.860 from the

00:22:30.300 second

00:22:30.500 world

00:22:30.840 war

00:22:31.200 who

00:22:31.440 fought

00:22:31.900 the

00:22:32.560 Ukrainian

00:22:33.000 independence

00:22:33.580 against

00:22:34.000 the

00:22:34.240 Russians

00:22:34.560 and

00:22:36.780 continues

00:22:37.240 to support

00:22:37.840 the troops

00:22:38.280 today

00:22:38.660 even at

00:22:39.880 his age

00:22:40.280 of 98

00:22:40.900 their

00:22:42.160 and

00:22:42.520 then

00:22:42.640 they

00:22:43.900 ran

00:22:44.440 about

00:22:44.900 them

00:22:45.540 for

00:22:46.580 them

00:22:46.940 Thank you.

00:23:16.940 I was going to say he's in the gallery, but I think you beat me to that.

00:23:21.040 But I'm very proud to say that he is from North Bay and from my riding of Nipissing-Temiskaming.

00:23:32.780 He's a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service.

00:23:38.480 Thank you.

00:23:46.940 There they go again.

00:23:52.640 And, you know, I blame all the parliamentarians for that, because anybody with any sense of history would have known.

00:24:14.060 If you were fighting the Russians in the Second World War, you were not on our side. 0.61

00:24:20.300 You might say, well, Joe Stalin was a poor ally.

00:24:24.640 We shouldn't have been allied with Joe Stalin.

00:24:26.480 But the historical facts are true.

00:24:28.200 We were.

00:24:28.640 That's what the Second World War was all about. 0.70

00:24:32.140 And we were supporting Soviet Russia throughout 1941 to 1945, after Germany invaded Russia on June 22nd, 1941, with Operation Barbarossa.

00:24:45.020 We supported them with Lend-Lease.

00:24:47.580 We supported them in every way possible.

00:24:49.480 And we did not support the Waffen-SS troops who were fighting the Russian soldiers, who were fighting the Red Army.

00:24:56.700 They were considered the enemy.

00:24:59.900 But nobody in parliament, including the chief of defense staff, who was sitting in the gallery, had the sense, had the historical know-how, had the basic knowledge to understand that something's wrong here.

00:25:13.260 Why are we standing up and applauding a guy who fought against the Russians?

00:25:17.640 Maybe he was fighting for the Germans.

00:25:20.340 And in fact, he was.

00:25:21.260 And his Waffen-SS regiment, Galatia, was guilty of war crimes.

00:25:27.280 Now, we don't know if Yaroslav Honka was.

00:25:29.440 We'll never know that.

00:25:31.320 But, 98 years old then, he's 100 now, probably.

00:25:35.000 If he's still with us, we'll never know that.

00:25:38.120 And we'll never know about so many other Waffen-SS soldiers who came to Canada after the Second World War.

00:25:46.360 And the government covered that up.

00:25:47.680 And they still won't release those names.

00:25:49.100 But a little late now, isn't it?

00:25:51.700 Because I'm sure most of them are gone.

00:25:54.720 But I blame all parliamentarians for that.

00:25:58.020 But I blame Justin Trudeau, most of all, for inviting this man there and blaming the Speaker, Anthony Rota.

00:26:04.620 He wore it all.

00:26:06.360 He was the scapegoat.

00:26:07.940 He was the fall guy.

00:26:08.980 Of course, he was guilty as well.

00:26:11.120 But this is how liberals work.

00:26:13.380 We'll pin it all on the Speaker, right?

00:26:16.240 Anthony Rota.

00:26:17.420 It's his fault.

00:26:18.240 Well, Justin Trudeau, oh.

00:26:21.380 And when he responded to that initially, he said it was delish and disinformation.

00:26:28.940 Do you remember that?

00:26:30.680 Yeah.

00:26:31.800 That was Justin Trudeau's response.

00:26:34.000 Now, what's really happening in Ukraine?

00:26:37.000 Do you think Krista Freeland has a hope in hell of being part of any reconstruction team in Ukraine?

00:26:44.540 I can tell you emphatically no.

00:26:47.300 Because if you're watching CBC, you probably think Ukraine is winning this war.

00:26:53.160 And you probably think, well, they're losing fewer soldiers than the Russians.

00:26:57.040 Let's listen to Douglas MacGregor, Colonel retired Douglas MacGregor, who's been on my show several times, and I'm going to have him back on again to talk about Ukraine.

00:27:07.700 And he puts this all very, very eloquently and succinctly, how different the situation in Ukraine actually is compared to how the mainstream media, especially in Canada, reports it. 0.91

00:27:20.780 And how idiots in the House of Commons on all sides seem to think Ukraine is going to be triumphant in this war, even though it is essentially so short on manpower that it's using teenagers and old men to fight Russia. 0.92

00:27:38.680 Let's listen to Doug MacGregor, because I have a lot of time and respect for this man. 0.99

00:27:43.640 You know, the Russians have been taking losses in single and double digits now for several months.

00:27:50.200 The Ukrainians are losing thousands, thousands of people every week.

00:27:55.800 This is just a slaughter.

00:27:58.020 And I don't, you know, I don't know why President Trump doesn't recognize that and simply state the facts.

00:28:03.400 The facts are Ukrainians have lost this war.

00:28:07.440 Now, he can continue to rely on General Kellogg for fictional numbers, which is what he appears to be doing.

00:28:16.600 But even worse, he can conclude that Russia is losing, according to General Kellogg, because the Russians haven't marched into Kiev.

00:28:25.480 The Russians haven't crossed in the Upper River yet.

00:28:29.020 It's a rather bizarre logic.

00:28:32.460 There's never been any understanding in the West of certain things.

00:28:36.300 Number one, President Trump has never recognized Russia's legitimate security interests in eastern Ukraine.

00:28:43.460 He doesn't seem to understand that once we staged the coup in 2014, the war in Ukraine against Russians began almost immediately.

00:28:53.780 And that war continued to rage for years until finally the Russians said enough is enough and intervened in eastern Ukraine.

00:29:01.420 If you if you if you can't agree on the truth of of what is actually going on and what has happened, how can you reach an agreement?

00:29:11.940 In other words, if you come into this discussion with two separate sets of facts, what are you going to get?

00:29:18.240 And the answer is nowhere.

00:29:19.580 So I don't see President Trump coming out with anything.

00:29:23.320 The other thing is that we're not in a very strong position because, as you pointed out, Clayton and Natalie earlier, we have led this war against Russia.

00:29:32.500 All you have to do is go back to Biden.

00:29:34.540 And now President Trump sounds just like Biden.

00:29:37.740 Biden said in March, we've got to break Russia. 0.93

00:29:40.980 It's not enough to harm Russia.

00:29:43.180 We have to break it, destroy its economy.

00:29:45.960 You know, we've got to rubble the ruble.

00:29:47.880 Remember, and then we've got to get rid of Putin.

00:29:52.320 Good Lord.

00:29:53.500 What more do you want?

00:29:54.720 When is Trump going to step forward and say, listen, I disavow all that nonsense.

00:29:58.860 I'm not interested in doing any of that.

00:30:01.560 If he really wants an end of the war, he has to distance himself from all of that nonsense.

00:30:06.260 He hasn't done it.

00:30:07.600 That's a huge problem, Clayton.

00:30:09.540 Great question here coming up from Natalie Morris.

00:30:14.740 And thank you, Redacted, for doing the interview.

00:30:17.340 And thank you for using it this morning.

00:30:20.440 As you know, I appear on Redacted about every week to talk about Canadian news.

00:30:25.820 And it was because of Redacted I was able to get in touch with Doug McGregor.

00:30:29.880 And I'm very thankful for that because I really admire this man.

00:30:33.100 He's one of the few military analysts who understands history and the world and is prepared to tell the truth.

00:30:39.540 Not what the president or the prime minister wants to hear, the truth, the unvarnished truth, the unalloyed truth.

00:30:47.060 And somehow Doug McGregor can do this.

00:30:50.440 But we have four-star generals every day on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News who lie, lie about the situation in Ukraine because that's what their governments want to hear.

00:31:01.900 And I love Natalie Morris's question here because this is this allows Doug McGregor to absolutely put Zelensky in the clearest perspective possible.

00:31:16.140 I need to see what Zelensky does.

00:31:19.040 It reminds me of a formerly popular music artist that just tours county fairs because all he does is go on his Twitter and say, I met with this world leader.

00:31:30.020 They love us.

00:31:30.660 They support us.

00:31:31.600 I met with this world leader.

00:31:33.100 We exchange pleasantries.

00:31:34.320 They love us.

00:31:35.580 What the hell is he doing?

00:31:36.500 He's not operating in reality.

00:31:38.600 So the Ukrainians not only have no plan on the battlefield, they have no leadership. 0.90

00:31:43.160 So anyone who wants to say they support Ukraine should absolutely support an end to this clown regime. 0.75

00:31:50.520 Well, the clown that you're talking about has an estimated $1.1 billion in various bank accounts that he has stolen from all of the aid and assistance that we and our European allies have provided. 0.73

00:32:02.980 More and European allies and Canada included won over a billion dollars in his bank account and he's got homes waiting for him. 0.87

00:32:14.280 Where do you think he got that money?

00:32:15.580 You think the salary of being president of Ukraine has somehow allowed Zelensky to amass more than a billion dollars in his bank account or being a two bid actor?

00:32:27.080 Maybe did that do it for him?

00:32:28.460 No, he has deliberately taken funding that U.S., Canada and NATO has given him over the past three to four years.

00:32:38.420 And I know he's prepared to retire to either his $15 million estate somewhere south of Naples, Florida, or his massive chateau and vineyard in Italy.

00:32:52.000 And he's got a private plane that's fueled and ready to go at moment's notice. 0.93

00:32:55.960 I mean, the man is a criminal. 0.81

00:32:59.620 That's the only way to look at it. 0.98

00:33:01.560 He makes any organized crime boss look like an amateur.

00:33:05.600 And the man continues to run around high on cocaine or whatever else it is that he's using at any given point in time and make outrageous statements.

00:33:14.520 I don't know why President Trump puts up with it.

00:33:17.260 Doesn't make any sense.

00:33:18.340 He ought to just dismiss this man out of out of hand.

00:33:21.200 And again, one wonders who is in charge, who is the president of the United States.

00:33:26.840 It's not just look what's happening with regard to our unconditional support for anything the president Netanyahu wants.

00:33:34.980 At the same time, this is this is the president of the United States. 0.98

00:33:39.020 We're the principal player that has been pushing this terribly stupid and counterproductive war in Ukraine. 0.98

00:33:45.280 And he can't stop it by simply saying, my friend Zelensky, you're out of a job. 0.98

00:33:52.160 We no longer recognize you as legitimate.

00:33:54.820 We're cutting you off.

00:33:56.760 Get out.

00:33:57.880 Why bother turning it and saying, well, you've got to make a deal.

00:34:02.100 Couldn't put it better.

00:34:08.000 So he's got an estate south of Naples, Florida.

00:34:10.380 He's got a vineyard in Italy, yachts and a private jet that's waiting to take him away to one of these places as soon as the Ukrainians are fed up with him. 1.00

00:34:21.460 But more than that, the Ukrainians have been fed up with him for years.

00:34:24.580 It's the Ukrainian oligarchs and the elite who control that corrupt country. 1.00

00:34:28.000 When they decide Zelensky's gone, Zelensky will be running as fast as his legs can carry him to that jet because it's over.

00:34:36.580 And when it's over in a criminal regime, it's over.

00:34:39.980 This is organized crime.

00:34:41.320 This is the mob.

00:34:42.680 You don't have a lot of time.

00:34:44.300 You've got to get ready to run.

00:34:45.920 And he's going to be ready to run.

00:34:47.680 And he is ready to run because the time is running short.

00:34:50.700 There's no question about that.

00:34:51.860 Take a quick break to have a look at the story.

00:34:54.760 I'll be back with some highlights from question period yesterday.

00:34:58.320 Take a quick break to have a look at the story today.

00:35:28.320 Take a quick break to have a look at the story.

00:35:58.320 Yes.

00:36:07.580 And I wanted to mention this here.

00:36:09.960 Don't forget Saturday.

00:36:12.340 This coming Saturday, September 20th.

00:36:14.740 It's the third annual Million People March for Children across Canada.

00:36:18.820 If you're in Ottawa area, it's on Parliament Hill, 10 a.m.

00:36:22.700 If you're in a province, it's at the provincial legislature.

00:36:26.580 So be there.

00:36:28.180 We'll be talking about this more as Saturday approaches.

00:36:32.960 So I want to show you a bit of question period yesterday because I think it shows exactly where I think Pierre Paulyev is going with this.

00:36:41.020 And let's listen to some moment.

00:36:46.560 Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised that he would spend less, yet he's spending, his deficit spending is 100 percent more, more than even Justin Trudeau.

00:36:58.080 And what is the real human consequence of that?

00:37:02.080 Food price inflation is rising 70 percent faster than the Bank of Canada's target.

00:37:08.260 And today, the CEO of the major food bank network in Toronto says that there has been a 400 percent increase in food bank use there.

00:37:18.600 Does the Prime Minister understand that his empty promises lead to empty stomachs?

00:37:25.560 The Honourable Minister of Finance.

00:37:28.200 Mr. Speaker, it's reassuring to hear the Leader of the Opposition that listened to the Prime Minister during the summer.

00:37:34.440 I'm glad to see that he retained that we're going to spend less so we can invest more, Mr. Speaker, and investing more in Canadians.

00:37:42.100 Like, for example, reducing the taxes for 22 million Canadian, Mr. Speaker.

00:37:47.560 Like making sure that people who want a first time home buy a first time home will pay less in GST, Mr. Speaker.

00:37:54.540 Making sure that we eliminate the consumer carbon tax, Mr. Speaker.

00:37:59.020 So we went from one annoying finance minister with a grating voice to a second finance minister with perhaps an even more grating voice.

00:38:07.820 It's not easy to listen to Mr. Champagne at the best of times.

00:38:11.860 But here he is at his grating best.

00:38:14.640 Anytime you hear a government talk about investments or investing in the economy, read that to say we're stealing your tax dollars and we're spending them for our own benefit.

00:38:25.660 Because it always comes back to the government in the end.

00:38:30.440 And governments don't make investments.

00:38:32.440 They spend your money.

00:38:34.220 And they usually do it very unwisely.

00:38:36.820 So don't be fooled by the word investment.

00:38:39.600 All the years I spent in public affairs, in government, in the military, on Parliament Hill, I can tell you that's the weasel word we were always told to use.

00:38:49.540 Parliament investment. 0.99

00:38:50.540 Because people are dumb enough out there to think, oh, that sounds good. 0.99

00:38:55.040 We're going to make some money off this investment. 1.00

00:38:56.780 No, you're going to lose money.

00:38:58.440 And it's called you're going to pay higher taxes and you're never going to see dividends off this investment.

00:39:04.980 I think the leader should celebrate that this government is there for families across Canada to build a stronger and more role.

00:39:13.120 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.

00:39:16.780 Mr. Speaker, he wants us to celebrate his failures, including failures that are leading to real human suffering.

00:39:22.940 Let me quote the CEO of Daily Bread Food Bank, Neil Hetherington.

00:39:26.460 So giving you some context, previously, before the pandemic, we were at 600,000 for the year visits to the food bank.

00:39:33.480 And so it took 38 years to get a million visits per year.

00:39:36.120 And then only one year to get two million visits.

00:39:39.060 Another year to get three million.

00:39:41.020 Now we are at four million visits.

00:39:43.720 Food bank lineups are growing and growing at an accelerating rate under this prime minister.

00:39:49.860 Does he realize the very real human consequences of his broken liberal promises?

00:39:55.800 Mr. Speaker, I'm here to announce some good news.

00:40:04.600 Last night, Canada and British Columbia approved the new SILISM LNG export terminal in northern British Columbia.

00:40:13.380 It's with the NISCA nation.

00:40:15.700 It will be the second largest private sector investment in the history of this country.

00:40:21.820 The second largest in the history of this country.

00:40:25.100 It will employ thousands of Canadians.

00:40:29.700 We would love the Conservatives to help us build Canada.

00:40:33.080 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.

00:40:38.000 Mr. Speaker, the question was not about re-announcing a previously approved project.

00:40:42.180 It was about the cost of food.

00:40:44.240 And frankly, it is insulting.

00:40:46.640 We have asked ten questions about the cost of food in the last two days and not a single Liberal minister will get up and answer it.

00:40:53.000 Maybe that's because the inflation rate on food is 70% above the target.

00:40:57.920 Maybe it's because there are now four times as many visits to Toronto food banks as there were three and a half years ago.

00:41:05.540 Maybe it's because they broke their promise to stabilize food prices.

00:41:08.720 Maybe it's because the Prime Minister promised that he could be judged on the price of food.

00:41:13.900 Speaking of which, what's the verdict?

00:41:15.940 And notice now, this is the third cabinet minister to stand up and not answer the question about food and food banks.

00:41:26.760 And I think this guy who stands up next, Gregor Robertson, is the biggest loser in the past.

00:41:32.080 The Honourable Minister of Housing and Infrastructure.

00:41:36.140 Mr. Speaker, while I know we're all in this House concerned about the price of food, and we're also concerned about our farmers.

00:41:42.380 The number one cost of living in Canada is related to housing, Mr. Speaker.

00:41:47.160 And as I mentioned yesterday, people are concerned about housing prices.

00:41:51.320 This government is taking action to make housing more affordable.

00:41:54.160 With Build Canada Homes, with tax cuts, with the first-time homebuyers cut tax cuts.

00:42:00.160 We're making a difference for people in their pocketbooks.

00:42:04.460 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.

00:42:07.100 Mr. Speaker, the question was about food prices.

00:42:10.380 And he stood up to announce that he's going to be feeding some of his friends

00:42:16.400 who are going to populate this latest $13 billion bureaucracy.

00:42:21.820 A bureaucracy that will build no homes and that will only reward liberal insiders

00:42:27.080 who, like him, have a record of actually doubling housing costs.

00:42:31.180 But back to food.

00:42:32.720 The stuff that needs to go on people's dinner table.

00:42:35.800 We have a record number of people at food banks

00:42:38.180 after the Prime Minister promised to make food more affordable.

00:42:41.900 Doesn't he realize that his promises have real costs for Canadians?

00:42:46.920 Okay, I'm going to end it there because you're not going to get an answer for this.

00:42:50.080 And I know this is why I don't do live question period anymore every day

00:42:53.200 because people watch this and they want to pull their hair out.

00:42:55.580 They just want to fall off their seats, either laughing or in pain and anxiety.

00:43:00.340 Because we never get any answers in question period.

00:43:02.740 This is all theater.

00:43:04.480 It's theatrics from both sides.

00:43:06.340 But at least the conservatives do ask some questions.

00:43:08.920 But the liberals will never answer those questions.

00:43:11.980 And Gregor Robertson, to stand up and talk about housing, it's amazing.

00:43:16.360 This is the guy who utterly failed as mayor of Vancouver,

00:43:19.100 who failed at any housing projects in his city,

00:43:23.080 where the price of a house doubled while he was mayor of Vancouver.

00:43:27.060 And yet this is the man Mark Carney chose to be his housing minister.

00:43:30.860 He chose so many incompetents to be ministers.

00:43:34.580 Look at the public safety minister.

00:43:36.360 Every week we learn about a potential security problem here.

00:43:41.740 And why would he put a guy like that in charge of public safety?

00:43:47.420 But why would he put Gregor Robertson in charge of housing

00:43:50.500 when he's utterly failed at that?

00:43:52.220 Because Mark Carney is his own cabinet.

00:43:56.760 You know, there's an old joke about R.B. Bennett,

00:43:59.100 the conservative prime minister from 1930 to 1935,

00:44:02.840 walking from the Chateau Laurier, where he lived.

00:44:06.720 He was a bachelor.

00:44:07.620 He lived at the Chateau Laurier in a hotel room while he was prime minister.

00:44:11.100 He was walking from the Chateau Laurier up Wellington Street to Parliament Hill.

00:44:15.620 And he was talking to himself along the way.

00:44:18.700 And the joke is, somebody asked,

00:44:21.340 why is the prime minister talking to himself?

00:44:23.340 And the answer was, he's having a cabinet meeting.

00:44:25.800 And that's exactly applicable to Mark.

00:44:28.740 Mark Carney is his own cabinet.

00:44:30.340 He will do whatever he wants.

00:44:32.000 And it's all about making sure Mark Carney gets something out of this deal.

00:44:37.140 And that's what kind of prime minister we have.

00:44:41.120 Now, we get back to Chrystia Freeland.

00:44:43.980 Nice to see she won't be occupying a seat in the House of Commons anymore. 1.00

00:44:48.660 I don't know if the liberals will retain that by-election seat.

00:44:53.240 Probably.

00:44:54.240 It's a safe seat.

00:44:54.960 But don't think we're any better off putting her in Ukraine 1.00

00:44:59.940 because she's heels on the ground in a country that's so corrupt, 0.99

00:45:04.800 so awash with cash that we have sent there,

00:45:08.920 along with the United States and Europe,

00:45:11.360 that anything can happen when Chrystia Freeland gets there.

00:45:15.020 And I can tell you this, it ain't going to be good.

00:45:18.960 Thank you for watching today, folks.

00:45:20.780 It's been a pleasure.

00:45:21.480 This has been David Creighton broadcasting to you live from our nation's capital.

00:45:27.640 We'll be back again tomorrow.

00:45:30.240 And heads up, look to the skies.

00:45:35.780 God bless and Godspeed to all of you.

00:45:38.780 Thank you for watching.
