Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, we're back again with another Take 5 session with Stand on Guard with David Creighton.
00:00:06.340 I'm your host, David Creighton, and the week has only begun here in Ottawa at Question Period,
00:00:15.840 and it's been fireworks on Monday, even though Justin Trudeau was out of town.
00:00:21.440 The last I heard, he was lecturing Poland about LGBTQ rights behind closed doors this time.
00:00:30.000 But we've got a great little segment for you here, because this is the clash of the titans,
00:00:36.380 at least between Conservative leader Pierre Polyev and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland,
00:00:43.880 who's always entertaining, you know, she is always entertaining, and there she is there.
00:00:49.640 I don't know what she thought she was dressing for on Monday,
00:00:53.860 but it looked like she was expecting to sit by the fire and read a good book
00:00:58.620 rather than sit in the front row of the Liberal caucus and answer questions on behalf of the Prime Minister.
00:01:06.740 But she was her typical self yesterday, and she kept saying the Conservatives were juvenile,
00:01:14.860 and they were acting like children, and adolescent.
00:01:20.620 Those were the three words.
00:01:22.580 And of course, she always thinks she's the only real adult in the room, wherever she is.
00:01:28.460 And this was a classic moment.
00:01:33.600 But what is she upset about?
00:01:35.400 Well, the Conservatives have said that they're going to filibuster during the vote on the Liberal budget.
00:01:45.200 And she considers this to be adolescent, just horribly partisan behavior,
00:01:51.600 because they should be seeing the wisdom of the Liberal budget
00:01:55.400 and all of the wonderful things it's going to do.
00:01:57.900 But Polyev is using this opportunity to say that the Liberal government,
00:02:04.900 the Justin Trudeau government, has to pledge something towards lowering the debt,
00:02:16.300 ending annual deficits, and to bring down inflation and interest rates.
00:02:22.100 Because we're going to go, continuing to go on this downward spiral.
00:02:27.400 That's a bit of an oxymoron, because the interest rates are going to go up,
00:02:30.600 but the country is going to go down.
00:02:32.660 And at the same time, Polyev and the Conservatives are demanding
00:02:36.120 an end to the carbon tax hikes.
00:02:41.040 Cancel all planned carbon tax hikes.
00:02:43.340 And there's one coming that, after all is said and done,
00:02:47.280 when the GST tax on the tax is tabulated,
00:02:52.700 it's going to add about 60 cents a liter.
00:02:56.900 Now, that is phenomenal.
00:02:59.300 That's phenomenally outrageous.
00:03:01.140 But that's exactly what is going on.
00:03:03.800 I want you to watch this exchange here between these two,
00:03:09.660 because it just, it shows you exactly how Christia Freeland thinks
00:03:16.000 she's above answering questions.
00:03:19.020 And if you even challenge her, how dare you?
00:03:24.720 Just six months ago, this minister promised a balanced budget by the year 2027.
00:03:31.420 She said that deficits fuel inflation.
00:03:35.580 Deficit finance minister, John Manley, a liberal,
00:03:39.700 said that while the Bank of Canada is slamming on the brakes of inflation with higher rates,
00:03:44.260 this government is slamming on the gas with higher spending.
00:03:48.300 This could cause the whole engine to blow
00:03:49.880 when all of that mortgage debt Canadians hold comes up to renewal,
00:03:53.600 unless the rates come down.
00:03:55.320 So will she act now to put in place a plan to balance the budget
00:03:59.000 to bring down inflation and interest rates?
00:04:02.000 Now, look at, watch this outrage from Christia Freeland.
00:04:06.600 I dare he ask me this.
00:04:07.980 You know, Mr. Speaker, I am truly appalled
00:04:11.720 by the reckless and irresponsible behaviour we are seeing from the Conservatives today.
00:04:18.420 They are showing that they prefer adolescent partisan gains
00:04:24.440 over actually delivering support to Canadians.
00:04:28.140 So let's talk about what they are preventing.
00:04:31.820 Did you catch that?
00:04:33.440 Adolescent and partisan games.
00:04:36.100 That's what it all boils down to.
00:04:38.080 And get a load of that outfit, eh?
00:04:40.780 I wonder what she thought.
00:04:41.800 Canadians from getting with their parliamentary childishness.
00:04:46.680 Childishness.
00:04:47.280 They are preventing Canadians from getting the doubling
00:04:49.680 of the tradesperson's toll deduction.
00:04:51.980 They're preventing us from putting in place an anti-flipping tax
00:04:55.360 that's going to stop speculation in homes.
00:04:57.360 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:05:00.000 Mr. Speaker, what is truly reckless is driving up inflation and interest rates
00:05:05.500 on Canadian consumers who are the most indebted in the entire G7.
00:05:10.320 In fact, the combined consumer debt is almost bigger than the entire Canadian economy.
00:05:15.280 And when the monster mortgages that Canadians took out with the advice of this government
00:05:20.280 back in 2021-22 come into higher rates for renewal,
00:05:25.600 there could be a massive mortgage meltdown.
00:05:28.540 Therefore, will the finance minister do what she promised only six months ago?
00:05:32.880 And that is to say, stop putting fuel on the inflationary fire,
00:05:36.560 balance the budget to bring down inflation and interest rates.
00:05:39.740 Yes or no?
00:05:40.260 Now, don't expect a yes or no here.
00:05:44.180 She's going to go on and on about how wonderful this budget is again.
00:05:49.420 And believe me, the concern here is that we are going to be headed for another
00:05:55.040 series of interest rate escalations, which are going to be catastrophic.
00:06:00.060 Mr. Speaker, someone who advised Canadians to opt out of inflation by investing in crypto
00:06:10.920 is pretty ill-positioned to offer economic advice of any kind.
00:06:15.980 She can't resist going back to the cryptocurrency thing.
00:06:19.880 Although it has absolutely nothing to do with the question,
00:06:23.400 with the economy today, with the carbon tax, with the budget,
00:06:29.460 Freeland has got to go back to Paliyev once espousing cryptocurrency.
00:06:35.760 And you know what he is doing instead of providing a responsible economic plan?
00:06:41.780 He is blocking the support that Canadians need,
00:06:44.400 real measures in our budget implementation bill.
00:06:47.440 For example, cracking down on predatory lending.
00:06:51.000 Who could be opposed to that?
00:06:52.240 Isn't that what Canadians need right now?
00:06:54.160 But the Conservatives, with their frivolous, childish behavior,
00:06:57.080 are stopping Canadians from getting this.
00:06:58.880 Bravo!
00:07:07.800 Yes, and as we mentioned earlier, those two conditions we've outlined.
00:07:12.600 He wants an end to all future hikes of the carbon tax,
00:07:16.720 and he wants a commitment to non-deficit spending every year.
00:07:21.160 To something, of course, Trudeau will never commit to because, you know,
00:07:25.660 he once said that deficits don't matter.
00:07:28.640 But here we are right now.
00:07:30.060 This is how the week is going.
00:07:31.920 It's going to be exciting to see if the Conservatives are successfully going to be able
00:07:35.640 to filibuster the budget bill.
00:07:38.940 I doubt they're going to get anything out of it.
00:07:40.940 But the questions this week so far are interesting because there seems to be a wider degree of support
00:07:48.440 to stop the carbon tax because it's clear it's not doing what it's supposed to do,
00:07:56.740 which is somehow reverse climate change.
00:07:59.300 It's just hurting average Canadians who have to still drive to work
00:08:04.740 and have to heat their homes in the winter and, if they're lucky enough,
00:08:08.640 use the air conditioner in the summer.
00:08:10.820 That's who it's hurting.
00:08:12.220 It's not doing anything else.
00:08:14.380 But that's what it's doing.
00:08:15.600 So we've got more excitement coming.
00:08:19.340 I want you all to continue to watch us this week as we unfold the events in the House of Commons,
00:08:27.560 and especially during question period.
00:08:29.280 We're doing that live every day.
00:08:31.580 So for another Take 5 session, we'll stand on guard with David Creighton.
00:08:36.120 I'm David Creighton, and I want to thank you.
