Transcript

00:00:00.320 Hi, welcome back to another edition of Stand on Guard.
00:00:04.240 I'm your host, David Crayton.
00:00:05.940 And when we come back, is there a tax revolt on the way?
00:00:11.360 So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:15.580 We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:30.000 Yes, please ring the bell.
00:00:36.380 As Sasha always demonstrated, like the broadcast now if you can.
00:00:41.780 Subscribe if you haven't.
00:00:43.200 We're just above 20,000.
00:00:45.480 This is phenomenal.
00:00:47.700 Because if you recall, the last time I was asking for more subscriptions,
00:00:51.820 it was just a few days before New Year's Eve, and we were trying to hit 15,000.
00:00:57.220 Here we are, less than three months later.
00:00:59.840 Here we are, 20,000.
00:01:01.040 This station is growing thanks to your support and your help.
00:01:06.640 And I appreciate it.
00:01:08.460 I think we're doing very well.
00:01:10.700 It was only about a year ago I branched out as an independent journalist doing these broadcasts.
00:01:17.400 You know I still write for some of the new media, including the post-millennial,
00:01:22.560 the senior parliamentary correspondent there.
00:01:25.980 I write a column every week for human events.
00:01:28.640 And the Epoch Times.
00:01:31.280 So I'm still involved with new media.
00:01:34.500 But independent media, I believe, is the wave of the future.
00:01:39.640 And if you were following the news yesterday, you would have noticed that Candace Owens,
00:01:46.000 I'm a big fan of Candace Owens, either left, was fired, or resigned.
00:01:53.460 We're not sure exactly what happened, but she's no longer working for The Daily Wire.
00:01:58.640 But watch her broadcast continue to have huge success.
00:02:04.100 She didn't need The Daily Wire.
00:02:06.420 But The Daily Wire's reputation will suffer as a result of cutting her loose and what they put her through in the last couple of weeks.
00:02:18.280 But I wanted to put that out there.
00:02:20.480 I'm going to have Clayton Morris on the show next week to discuss independent media.
00:02:29.340 I think it's a good time because here I've reached a plateau that I wasn't sure I could reach in a year.
00:02:35.920 I left The Western Standard doing broadcasts about a year ago to do my own.
00:02:40.480 And I'm really happy with the success.
00:02:44.060 But when you resonate with people, it really is exciting.
00:02:50.940 And there's nothing better in this business than to know that you're speaking directly to people's hearts and souls.
00:03:00.100 And that people are listening and they're responding.
00:03:03.680 So thank you again.
00:03:04.660 We spent a lot of time last week doing the Question Period live broadcast.
00:03:09.540 And your response was phenomenal once again.
00:03:13.440 I thank you for that.
00:03:15.420 And it was worthwhile.
00:03:17.640 I know I hear in your comments section constantly how much you hate the liberal lies, how the fact that questions are never answered,
00:03:30.640 how you can't stand the talking points and the cabinet ministers and Trudeau saying the same thing over and over again.
00:03:40.460 But there are moments of real gold in these Question Period sessions.
00:03:48.420 And I think they're worth doing.
00:03:50.880 And I'll continue to do them as long as there's interest out there.
00:03:55.580 And the interest seems to be growing.
00:03:57.640 But I wanted to do a broadcast today.
00:03:59.640 It's Saturday.
00:04:00.500 I don't always do Saturday broadcasts.
00:04:02.880 But I wanted to do a recap of what we went through last week in the last two weeks on the carbon tax.
00:04:10.320 You know, we had a non-confidence vote this week sponsored by the Conservative Party and Pierre Paulie to axe the tax, spike the hike, to stop the carbon tax and to attempt to defeat the Trudeau government over the carbon tax and to have an election on the carbon tax.
00:04:33.240 The Liberals defeated that with the support of the NDP, the Socialists, and the Bloc, the Separatists.
00:04:42.400 And these are the three parties that love the carbon tax.
00:04:46.600 They love to see Canadians impoverished.
00:04:49.880 And that's really the basis of what this broadcast is about today.
00:04:53.020 It's about how the carbon tax is impoverishing Canadians.
00:04:57.120 It is not so-called revenue neutral.
00:04:59.540 The Liberals are lying about how much money is going back into your pockets.
00:05:06.080 They're lying about the fact that just as much or even more is going back to you than you have to give at the gas pump and with your home heating fuel bill.
00:05:19.460 They are lying about that.
00:05:20.960 And we've got some great testimony to watch.
00:05:23.460 And I'll comment on it.
00:05:25.040 But the RCMP have released a report, a secret report, that was gained access to by Access to Information,
00:05:35.840 saying that they are worried about a tax revolt, about a revolt from Canadians because they're so poor
00:05:44.060 and because they know the government's lying to them and they know there's something up here.
00:05:50.680 And we'll talk about that as well.
00:05:52.760 I think that's extremely important because when your national police force is worried about Canadians revolting,
00:06:04.760 what are they planning to do?
00:06:07.420 We saw what they were capable of during the Freedom Convoy protest, during the Emergencies Act invocation.
00:06:14.500 We saw what our national and our provincial and our local police forces were capable of.
00:06:20.100 I won't call it barbarity or barbarism, but it was brutality.
00:06:25.940 It was brutal.
00:06:27.020 I witnessed it.
00:06:28.840 I saw protesters and journalists manhandled by cops.
00:06:36.560 And remember, I come from a military background.
00:06:39.560 I was an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, in the Canadian Air Force.
00:06:44.280 So I'm somebody who generally loves the police.
00:06:50.340 I grew up in the establishment.
00:06:53.840 The police were always my friends.
00:06:55.920 I worked with the police, not just the military police, but the local police forces always.
00:07:02.120 I did not like what I saw, how the police were being used by the Trudeau government,
00:07:09.340 by the provincial governments, by municipal governments.
00:07:13.280 I didn't like that.
00:07:16.300 As I said, they're not on our side anymore.
00:07:19.160 They're not fighting for democracy.
00:07:21.140 They're not defending democracy.
00:07:22.880 They're not defending freedom.
00:07:24.500 They're not on the side of these ordinary Canadians who are protesting.
00:07:29.380 Now, in Toronto, they're delivering coffee to Hamas protesters.
00:07:34.500 They're afraid to disrupt radical Sikh protesters with daggers.
00:07:41.360 But they're not afraid to go after working class Canadians, blue collar Canadians,
00:07:47.120 who are objecting to getting the COVID jab.
00:07:51.200 No, that was okay.
00:07:52.820 That bothered me.
00:07:53.720 But let's talk about the carbon tax rebate.
00:08:02.200 What a crock.
00:08:05.420 Trudeau, as you know, they changed the title of this from the carbon tax to the carbon rebate.
00:08:12.960 Yeah, right.
00:08:13.920 And now they're pretending eight out of 10 Canadians are getting money back.
00:08:19.400 And it's more money than they're giving at the gas pumps in their home heating fuel.
00:08:24.720 Balderdash.
00:08:26.520 B.S.
00:08:27.800 Not the case.
00:08:29.380 They're lying.
00:08:30.740 Let's watch some of these clips.
00:08:33.640 And you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
00:08:35.520 It's where the NDP government is administering the federally mandated carbon tax.
00:08:41.340 And according to the Vancouver Sun today, the budget presented by the NDP in that province says the carbon tax will raise $9 billion over three years and only pay back $3 billion.
00:08:54.140 Mr. Speaker, that's a net nearly $6 billion net carbon tax costs.
00:08:59.780 Will he allow BCMPs?
00:09:01.200 Will he allow BCMPs?
00:09:02.200 Will he allow BCMPs?
00:09:03.200 Well, that's a good point.
00:09:04.200 Mr. Speaker, for Canadians watching politics and watching this question period, for reporters
00:09:10.440 up in the galley or anyone who wants to see a concrete example of the fact that the leader
00:09:16.640 of the official opposition doesn't care about facts, doesn't care about evidence, doesn't
00:09:24.300 care about how the federation works.
00:09:26.500 He just wants to make clever arguments and to score partisan points.
00:09:31.640 The fact is, Mr. Speaker, that British Columbia price on pollution has been there since 2008
00:09:38.640 and will continue to be administered by British Columbia, not the federal government.
00:09:44.640 Now, we're going to go to a committee meeting with Christia Freeland, the deputy prime minister
00:09:55.260 and finance minister, in a minute here.
00:09:58.700 I just wanted to comment on that.
00:10:02.800 $9 billion collected.
00:10:06.900 They're missing billions of dollars here.
00:10:09.020 And as the next clip will show, the federal government is sitting on billions of dollars
00:10:16.220 as well.
00:10:17.920 Now, this is important because we keep hearing it's revenue neutral.
00:10:22.700 How absurd it is anyway to collect money with the right, the left hand and to give it back
00:10:29.020 with the right hand saying, oh, we're trying to make it the same.
00:10:33.920 We'll try to give you back exactly what we took away from you.
00:10:37.020 The point is, the carbon tax is a futile tax.
00:10:42.440 It doesn't achieve anything except impoverishment.
00:10:48.420 It does nothing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
00:10:53.600 In fact, since the inception of the carbon tax, Canada's greenhouse gas emissions are actually
00:10:59.980 increasing and Canada produces about 2%, less than 2% of the global greenhouse gas emissions.
00:11:10.660 Anyway, so even if we stopped producing all greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow, it would have virtually
00:11:19.640 no effect on the global picture.
00:11:22.080 I've said this repeatedly.
00:11:23.200 So how are we having any success with the carbon tax?
00:11:29.540 How is it fighting climate change if it's not even reducing greenhouse gas emissions?
00:11:35.120 If you accept the premise that that's the foundation of climate change.
00:11:42.120 Even if you accept that, it's not reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
00:11:47.080 And it won't, because we still need to use fossil fuels to drive to work to heat our homes.
00:11:55.820 So it is a futile exercise in liberal ideology.
00:12:01.080 That's all it is.
00:12:02.240 It's all about ideology.
00:12:04.040 It's not about achieving any realistic objective related to climate change.
00:12:10.160 It's only about Stephen Gilboa and Justin Trudeau's economic theories, environmental extremism,
00:12:19.320 and absolute ineptitude.
00:12:22.460 Let's listen to Christy Freeland as she is unable to answer a simple question.
00:12:28.660 Watch your obfuscate.
00:12:30.900 ...government collected in carbon taxes since you implemented it.
00:12:35.120 I didn't hear the last question.
00:12:37.260 How much has the government collected in carbon taxes since it was implemented?
00:12:42.720 So thanks for the question.
00:12:45.180 And it gives me an opportunity to be really clear about the price on pollution.
00:12:50.380 This is revenue neutral.
00:12:53.940 All the money that is collected goes back directly to Canadians.
00:13:00.420 I only have a limit of time, Minister.
00:13:01.840 That is the key point.
00:13:02.620 How much has your government collected in carbon taxes?
00:13:05.400 Also an opportunity for me to point out that Manitoba families will be getting $1,200 this year.
00:13:14.600 Again, Minister, if I could just have the number, how much have you collected in carbon taxes?
00:13:19.100 I mean, what?
00:13:20.700 He's asking for the third time now.
00:13:23.960 How much has the federal government collected in carbon taxes?
00:13:27.180 Freeland is unable or unwilling to answer that question.
00:13:30.900 And now she's talking about Manitoba?
00:13:33.260 Nobody asked about Manitoba.
00:13:35.340 Just wait until she gets into another area of concern for her.
00:13:38.760 But she will do anything except answer the question.
00:13:42.020 And it's really quite embarrassing.
00:13:43.760 It's incredible how arrogant and supercilious this woman is.
00:13:49.760 The key point, which Conservatives consistently are trying to keep from Canadians, is that the price on pollution is completely revenue neutral.
00:14:06.160 The money does not go into general revenues.
00:14:12.920 Because it is returned to Canadians.
00:14:15.180 What is the dollar value of all carbon taxes collected since the tax was implemented?
00:14:20.200 The key point is that is money in the pockets of Canadians.
00:14:23.240 For Manitoba families this year, it's going to be $1,200.
00:14:26.540 That is making a real difference.
00:14:29.280 There we go.
00:14:29.980 Nobody asked about how much money in the pockets of Manitobans this is going to amount to.
00:14:37.000 She cannot answer the question.
00:14:38.840 She does not answer the question.
00:14:40.300 She does not want to answer the question.
00:14:43.060 She wants to continue talking points about money in your pockets.
00:14:47.580 Just the number, Minister.
00:14:49.020 How much has the government actually collected in carbon tax?
00:14:51.360 As I said, the key point is it's all money that goes back to Canadians.
00:14:54.840 It goes back to your constituents, my constituents, Daniel's constituents.
00:14:58.680 With the greatest of respect, it's not revenue neutral.
00:15:01.320 In fact, the estimates say that you refuse to answer giving accurate information, Minister.
00:15:08.960 The government's own financial documents, your main estimate, show that you've collected $20.7 billion in carbon taxes
00:15:15.860 and has only paid out $18.6 billion since the carbon tax took effect.
00:15:22.020 Your government has collected over $2 billion out of the pockets of Canadians since the tax was implemented that you have not paid back.
00:15:29.040 That's from your own main estimate.
00:15:31.000 So will you correct the record and admit the truth?
00:15:33.500 No, it is 100% revenue neutral.
00:15:36.040 Are you saying the main estimates are wrong?
00:15:38.400 I am saying that that is money that is being held for small businesses.
00:15:42.880 And small businesses will have good news soon because that money is going to be returned to that mission of attracting investment and good jobs in Manitoba.
00:15:53.560 And actually take the jackboots off the necks of Canadians.
00:15:56.880 I must say that that language is entirely inappropriate when we're talking about a democracy.
00:16:05.020 But we're not talking about a democracy anymore, Chrystia.
00:16:10.760 The Prime Minister lied and his minions continue to lie above us.
00:16:16.060 I began by talking about Prime Minister Mulroney and the exceptional courage he showed in recognizing Ukrainian independence.
00:16:26.360 There are, you know, there are people in the world right now who do have real dictatorships oppressing them like the people of Ukraine.
00:16:36.900 Yeah, you know who's oppressing the people of Ukraine, Chrystia Freeland?
00:16:42.480 President Volomardir Zelensky.
00:16:45.660 He's the dictator oppressing the people of Ukraine.
00:16:49.460 How dense are you?
00:16:51.240 And what does Ukraine and Brian Mulroney have to do with the carbon tax collection?
00:16:56.420 You've got to bring that up, don't you?
00:16:59.300 Even though it's irrelevant, somehow it always comes back to Ukraine.
00:17:05.280 That dictatorship that is a black hole of government money and subsidy.
00:17:12.780 To use that language, talking about a government policy you disagree with, is entirely inappropriate and cheapens our discourse and our democracy.
00:17:22.320 But I want to get into this part where a judge can put you, you know, under house arrest for things that they think that you might say.
00:17:29.160 Now that, that is a can of worms.
00:17:32.880 How are they going to manage that?
00:17:35.260 Well, they're not.
00:17:35.880 All right, so that's the kind of democracy we are, Chrystia Freeland.
00:17:43.960 That's the kind of democracy we are.
00:17:45.680 We have a government that wants to put people in jail for life.
00:17:52.440 For a hate speech offense.
00:17:55.800 Whatever that is.
00:17:57.000 And they want people to be put under house arrest for thought crimes.
00:18:02.640 Not for anything they've said or written, but for what they might say are written.
00:18:07.000 That's Canadian democracy right now.
00:18:09.660 And by the way, oh yeah, yeah.
00:18:12.300 By the way, your grandfather was a Nazi propagandist in Poland and Ukraine.
00:18:21.600 So don't give me this nonsense about how much you're adverse to talking about dictatorships.
00:18:33.800 Today, I look at the newspaper headlines.
00:18:36.460 Even the media is noticing how bad things are.
00:18:40.000 A headline in the National Post, and I quote,
00:18:42.240 Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are.
00:18:49.960 The RCMP has produced a report saying that Canadians are so poor, desperate, and miserable
00:18:57.460 that it may lead to political instability and other turbulence
00:19:03.600 that you could not even have imagined would occur in a first world country eight years ago.
00:19:09.740 And in the middle of all of this, what does the NDP and this Prime Minister choose?
00:19:14.660 To raise taxes, raise taxes on food and fuel, on heat and homes.
00:19:22.800 Now, I want to touch on this RCMP report, the secret RCMP report.
00:19:28.080 Yeah, we're not making this up.
00:19:29.380 And I don't think the link between the carbon tax increase
00:19:34.740 and the potential of Canadians to revolt is a tenuous link.
00:19:43.080 I don't think I'm making a tenuous link here.
00:19:46.300 I think it's very real.
00:19:48.420 Because when politicians lie to you constantly, like Chrystia Freeland just did,
00:19:53.820 like Justin Trudeau does every time he stands up in the House of Commons during question period,
00:19:59.380 when the government constantly is taxing you, is impoverishing you, is beating you down for protests,
00:20:08.840 calling you racist and misogynistic, calling you a Nazi if you disagree with their vaccine policy,
00:20:16.320 then yes, you've had enough.
00:20:18.560 You're mad as hell and you're not going to take it anymore.
00:20:21.360 So here's that report that Pierre Pauly have just referenced here.
00:20:25.460 Seeker RCMP reports may revolt once they realize how broke they are, how poor we are.
00:20:35.600 Let's have a closer look at this.
00:20:39.120 I'm going to read from the report for you right now.
00:20:42.680 Another major theme of the report is that Canadians are set to become increasingly disillusioned with their government,
00:20:49.780 which authors mostly chalk up to misinformation, conspiracy theories, and paranoia.
00:20:58.700 So in other words, the RCMP is wrong in attributing these fears and the anxiety amongst Canadians to the wrong things.
00:21:08.620 Law enforcement should expect continuing social and political polarization,
00:21:13.760 fueled by misinformation campaigns and an increasing mistrust of all democratic institutions,
00:21:22.520 reads one of the report's overarching considerations.
00:21:26.840 Ironically, among the report's more heavily redacted sections is one carrying the subtitle,
00:21:34.120 Erosion of Trust.
00:21:35.580 The past seven years have seen marked social and political polarization in the Western world,
00:21:44.720 reads a partial first sentence, with the entire rest of the sentence section deleted by government censors.
00:21:55.060 The censor's pen also deleted most of a section warning about paranoid populism.
00:22:07.080 Capitalizing on the rise of political polarization and conspiracy theories have been populists willing to tailor their messages to appeal to extremist movements,
00:22:18.320 reads the section's one non-redacted sentence.
00:22:23.480 So guess what?
00:22:25.700 You've got nothing to be afraid of.
00:22:28.920 It's all misinformation.
00:22:31.500 It's all conspiracy theories.
00:22:34.620 Well, BS.
00:22:36.500 This is typical crap from the RCMP, which now is in Trudeau's pocket.
00:22:43.560 It's in the Liberal Party's pocket.
00:22:46.060 They're not working for you.
00:22:47.540 They want to crush dissent.
00:22:49.180 They want to work with Trudeau to crush his political opposition with a jackboot.
00:22:55.780 That's what this report is about.
00:22:59.520 It's not just because they think Canadians are realizing they're poor.
00:23:04.200 They think Canadians are being misled by conspiracy theories and by disinformation and misinformation and malinformation.
00:23:13.260 Yeah, it's not Trudeau's fault.
00:23:16.900 And they're ready to put down the rebellion.
00:23:20.540 You know they are, just like they answered Trudeau's call during the Emergencies Act.
00:23:28.400 That's what this is all about.
00:23:30.600 That's what this report is all about.
00:23:33.620 It's bad, bad populism.
00:23:36.420 How dare we turn to social media, to new media, to independent media, to get our news?
00:23:44.880 How dare we not believe what the CBC says?
00:23:48.060 How dare we not believe what CTV and global news says?
00:23:51.160 How can we possibly not trust the Toronto Star in the Globe and Mail?
00:23:59.540 That's what this report is all about.
00:24:04.800 And you bet Canada is impoverished.
00:24:07.760 That's why Canadians are revolting.
00:24:10.460 Canada government spending grows at twice the pace of revenue.
00:24:14.460 That's from Bloomberg.
00:24:17.740 That's why Canadians have had enough.
00:24:21.080 That's why Canadians are as mad as hell.
00:24:23.920 And they're not going to take it anymore.
00:24:28.560 Thanks for watching today.
00:24:31.400 I'll be back again tomorrow, hopefully, with a broadcast that includes an interview with Pierre Paglia.
00:24:40.380 I'm going to his Axe the Tax rally tomorrow in Ottawa.
00:24:45.320 And so we'll get some first-hand journalism.
00:24:48.240 I like to get from a lot of these stations where they never leave their basement.
00:24:54.440 Never do any original journalism.
00:24:57.540 I have been a journalist for 30 years.
00:25:00.620 And I'm going to keep being a journalist.
00:25:03.240 Who gets out there, gets off my ass, does interviews, and doesn't just sit around and collect clips.
00:25:11.640 Because that's what you've come to expect from Stand on Guard and Creighton's Right.
00:25:18.060 And that's what I'm going to keep delivering.
00:25:20.340 Thanks for watching today.
00:25:21.980 If you have a minute, please watch the extra.
00:25:24.340 Bye for now.
00:25:24.900 Thank you for watching this episode of Stand on Guard and being a part of the Creighton's Right channel.
00:25:30.060 If you've watched this episode to this point, you've watched it all.
00:25:33.920 And that's really important for a small station like this.
00:25:37.460 We always say subscribe, hit the bell, be a part of the Creighton resistance.
00:25:44.780 Resolve to resist.
00:25:46.600 That's what we're doing.
00:25:47.520 And if you've become a subscriber, if you're a supporter of this station, or a member through Substack, through YouTube, and now you can be a local as well, that's so important to us.
00:26:00.880 Because I couldn't do this without you.
00:26:04.140 I made a decision to become an independent journalist about a year ago.
00:26:10.280 Because I wanted to bring all of my experience in the military, in journalism, to you.
00:26:17.560 I don't promise anything I can't deliver.
00:26:20.900 I don't offer clickbait.
00:26:22.460 I offer truth.
00:26:23.880 The truth is out there.
00:26:25.840 And it's my job to bring that truth to light and to you.
00:26:30.540 Thanks for being a part of the Creighton's Right resistance.
00:26:33.880 And we'll see you again soon.
00:26:35.400 So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:26:38.080 We need a political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
