Justin Trudeau wants to raise taxes on grocery stores to bring down the price of food. Is he talking about price controls? Or is he trying to make food more affordable for the middle class? And if so, what kind of price control measures will he introduce?
00:07:20.060And the funny thing is, his father ran against conservative leader Robert Stanfield in 1974.
00:07:28.200Stanfield, a hapless red Tory, said he was going to introduce wage and price controls.
00:07:34.180Trudeau said, not going to happen under my leadership.
00:07:38.040One of the first things he did when he became prime minister with a majority government is to say that he was going to do wage and price controls.
00:07:50.520Interestingly enough, too, for the previous two years, from 72 to 74, Trudeau had been propped up by the NDP, much like Justin Trudeau is being propped up by the NDP right now.
00:08:03.920In those days, it was NDP leader David Lewis propping up Pierre Trudeau.
00:08:08.580Today, it's Jagmeet Singh propping up Justin Trudeau.
00:08:13.100So the historical parallels are fascinating 50 years later, 49 to be precise, but about 50 years later.
00:08:26.420Well, it's interesting because even the mainstream media is starting to talk about this.
00:08:30.600It's housing that works for Pierre Poiliev, Andrew, but it's also affordability, and the government also tried to deal with some of that today with the calling in the grocery chains to yell at them and put down prices and all that kind of thing.
00:08:45.940All right, so even the CBC, the state media, always sucking up to Justin Trudeau, is admitting, you know, there might be a little bit of a problem here, and perhaps this isn't the plan.
00:09:01.140And the talking heads you saw actually said, yes, Trudeau might be going out on a limb here.
00:09:06.960He might not really have a plan, and affordable housing does seem to be an issue for the conservatives.
00:09:12.200Now, if you've seen anything on social media or on YouTube from people who are suggesting Justin Trudeau is finished, it's all over, it's nonsense.
00:09:23.560They don't know what they're talking about because they haven't got a clue.
00:09:27.220Justin Trudeau has two more years to go in his mandate, and he will cling to power tenaciously for as long as he can.
00:09:34.120And just because a couple of backbench MPs are speaking off the record about how dissatisfied they are with Justin Trudeau does not mean Justin Trudeau is in any serious trouble.
00:10:08.860Well, he's going to give developers a GST holiday.
00:10:18.540No GST for developers building apartment houses.
00:10:22.900Okay, so that's got nothing to do with single-family homes, nothing to do with duplexes, nothing to do with people where people can actually buy.
00:10:32.920This is about people renting at exorbitant costs.
00:10:36.560And how is this going to help renters?
00:10:39.120Because the developers are going to be getting the rebate.
00:10:42.140Do you think they're going to be passing on the savings?
00:12:29.560And he is going to continue to absolutely destroy the Canadian economy.
00:12:39.940And I won't even get into how he's destroying our free speech, how he's destroying our children, how he has created a society where the government will allow you to commit suicide if you're even depressed.
00:12:55.000I won't even get into those social issues.
00:12:57.640But economically, Canada is on the precipice of disaster.
00:13:02.140And if he thinks he can control the price of food with a wave of his magic wand, or if he thinks grocery stores are going to come up with his magic solution by Thanksgiving, he has nothing left in his cranium.
00:13:44.460And, uh-huh, now it's suddenly a crisis, probably because he heard it was a crisis from some disgruntled MPs.
00:13:55.220And maybe he thought, well, yeah, you know, I have to do something about this.
00:13:58.620Unfortunately, the something is not going to work.
00:14:02.140While the rest of the world is taking advantage of the fact that we were playing international boy scouts and girl guides, practical effect, additional 28 cents on the liter of gasoline and diesel.
00:14:12.500Now, because all commodities are priced in U.S. terms, imagine having that kind of a burden on everything you buy.
00:14:19.520Food, transportation costs, lumber costs, cement costs, steel costs, asphalt for the road.
00:14:26.700So, all of these things mean that because we no longer have the petrodollar status we did, not only are you paying a carbon tax of 23, 24 cents a liter in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and, of course, let's not forget British Columbia.
00:14:40.500You now have to pay an additional, let's call for what it is, an additional 28 cents to 30 cents a liter depending on the HST or GST that you're using.
00:14:48.660Because the Canadian dollar no longer behaves the way it did, because we're not selling oil and gas to the extent that we could or should.
00:14:54.740Bottom line, woke green policies are costing most people in Canada who vote liberal far more than they can afford.
00:15:03.640It's only a matter of time before I start shooting those smartening up pills.
00:15:07.920Keep on watching. I'll be back on Monday as the Tamara Leach, Chris Barber trial resumes.
00:15:14.920I'll be keeping an eye on Justin Trudeau and having worked on the Hill for years, having been a journalist for years, knowing how Ottawa works and how prime ministers escape the punishment they deserve.
00:15:31.540I will not be telling you that Justin Trudeau is going to be resigning tomorrow or next week when it ain't going to happen.
00:15:38.900I will keep you up to date on how the facts are unfolding, not how we wish they would unfold.
00:15:47.280And I, like most of you viewers, really would like to see Justin Trudeau resign.
00:15:52.640I'd like to see an election next week or next month, but it's probably not going to happen because reality dictates otherwise.
00:16:00.800And the reality tells us we have to continue to resolve to resist this maniacal, despotic, authoritarian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, because he's still very much in control of his party and of his government.
00:16:17.820And he's still very much in control of bringing further catastrophe and devastation upon Canada.
00:16:26.860And he's got plans for the fall that is going to take your free speech away.
00:16:31.960So stay tuned and stay tuned not only to the station, but to what Trudeau is up to, because it's bad.
00:17:49.200But more importantly, I need your financial support.
00:17:53.680I hate to ask, but that's what I'm doing.
00:17:56.120Look, I made a decision to pursue independent media because I believe it was the best possible route for me to take as a journalist and as a concerned citizen of Canada.
