00:00:24.340 Member of Parliament for Halliburton Corps at the Lake Sprock, and today we have a barn burner of

00:00:29.580 a topic. We are going to talk about Mark Carbontax Carney taking his company out of Canada, away from

00:00:36.000 the prying eyes of Justin Trudeau, and also the Indigenous procurement scandal continues to heat

00:00:41.300 up. To talk about this and much, much more, we bring on Michael Barrett, the Member of Parliament for

00:00:45.920 Leeds, Grenville, Thousand Island, and Rideau Lakes. Thank you. I always get that wrong. Ethics critic

00:00:51.620 as well. Thanks for coming on the show. Yeah, pleasure to be on and have a chat about some of

00:00:55.360 the many, many liberal scandals. All right, well, let's, the most incredible one, well, there's lots

00:01:02.980 of incredible ones, but the one I find just incredibly laughable, I should say, is the fact

00:01:07.820 that Mark Carbontax Carney has decided to move his company to New York and out of Canada. I guess taxes

00:01:14.000 were too high for him. Yeah, this is, this is pretty laughable. Justin Trudeau names him to be

00:01:20.800 part of this, you know, advisory panel to, to chart a path forward for the failing and flailing

00:01:28.620 Liberals, and Carney's the only one on it, so it's a, it's a panel of one. And he cashed in a bunch of

00:01:35.260 favours for himself, changes to mortgage rules, which will benefit, you know, one of his holdings,

00:01:40.000 which is Canada's second largest private mortgage insurer. For his friend, the owner of Telesat

00:01:46.660 got him a $2.14 billion loan to do something that will probably never happen, but it'll cost

00:01:53.280 much more than it would to just, you know, get existing products on the market to, to, to solve

00:01:58.100 that, like, like Starlink, for example. And you had a great tweet with Elon Musk talking about that,

00:02:03.160 asking Elon, and he responded, how much would that normally cost to connect everyone in Canada?

00:02:07.700 And the response was about half. Yeah, he said, he said less than half. Yeah. And, and like,

00:02:12.260 that's, that's common sense. We need things that are actually going to connect Canadians now,

00:02:15.380 not pay for something that might someday put some satellites into space, and then people would

00:02:19.640 still need to buy, you know, the hardware for their houses. So, so Carney's cashing in all these

00:02:24.260 favours right away after he gets named to this panel. In exchange, he does some fundraising for the

00:02:30.140 Liberals. And then he announces that, that the company that he's chair of is, is pulling its

00:02:37.880 headquarters out of Canada and taking the jobs with it and going to, going to Wall Street. And

00:02:45.320 that's, you know, that's exactly where carbon tax Carney feels most comfortable. It's, it's not on

00:02:51.580 Main Street with, with Canadians who are suffering from the carbon tax on everything that, that he and

00:02:56.580 Justin Trudeau are promoting here. It's the, it's the Wall Street elite in New York City, where,

00:03:03.220 where Justin Trudeau's top advisor is getting his advice. Yeah. And we have a nice shiny new condo

00:03:07.840 there, a $9 million condo that maybe Mark Carney can take a look at Tom Clark's new digs. I, you know,

00:03:14.760 I imagine that, that billionaire row spot for Justin Trudeau's media pal, Tom Clark,

00:03:19.900 uh, that Canadians paid $9 million for is, uh, is not going to be where, uh, uh, carbon tax

00:03:26.340 Carney stays. Um, but I imagine Canadians will one way or another foot the bill for maybe, 0.67

00:03:31.800 maybe there'll be neighbours. Maybe, maybe, maybe there'll be neighbours. Yeah. Cause Mark Carney

00:03:36.100 isn't, you know, talking to people suffering, right? Like he takes his company out, uh, encourages

00:03:42.160 us to all pay more taxes. And he's a big promoter of the carbon tax. None of it affects his bottom

00:03:47.920 line. None of it affects what he eats or the car he drives or, you know, where his kids go to school,

00:03:53.440 if he has any, um, they're just not impacted by these decisions, but we all have to live by his,

00:03:59.960 his rule, right? Yeah. And, and his investment portfolio includes major holdings in coal.

00:04:05.340 Yeah. And, uh, and this is a guy who wants to, Canadians to pay more to, um, to heat their homes,

00:04:10.880 to feed their families. Um, you know, just this week, uh, there's, there's numbers out about, uh,

00:04:15.480 about Ottawa, which, you know, bear, bear out across Canada. It supports what stats can said

00:04:20.460 in August. That's one in four Canadians, uh, are, are going to be using a food bank, uh, this fall.

00:04:26.300 That's unbelievable. The unemployment rate isn't 25%. So that means that you've got, you know,

00:04:32.100 you've got millions of Canadians who are working, but still can't make ends meet. And now they're

00:04:36.540 lined up at food banks. And the, and this is a direct result of taxing farmers who grow the food,

00:04:42.320 truckers who move the food, grocers who sell it, and it's a tax on the people who buy it.

00:04:46.120 So the indigenous procurement program continues to come under fire. And for good reason, we have 1.00

00:04:51.380 the employment minister and his buddy, Mr. Anderson, Stephen Anderson, who apparently are

00:04:57.500 claiming they are wholly indigenous owned, but we can't seem to figure out which one of the two.

00:05:03.340 There's two coal, maybe a third. There might be the other Randy. Could be the other Randy.

00:05:07.100 Maybe three. Okay. We, we still haven't determined. Maybe the other Randy is indigenous, 0.98

00:05:11.560 indigenous, but it is a envelope of, of contracts. About 5% of total government contracts are allotted

00:05:18.440 to indigenous owned businesses, right? So, um, those are the ones that are just starting up in

00:05:23.880 many cases, but don't have the resources to write the contracts. The big companies do the

00:05:27.800 applications. Um, so somebody checked the box inside global health imports when they filled out

00:05:33.420 one of their applications that they are indigenous owned. And thankfully they did not get the money, 1.00

00:05:38.560 but at the same time, they were okay with pushing down indigenous owned businesses in order to

00:05:43.480 enrich themselves. Yeah, this is exactly right. This is Justin Trudeau's minister from Edmonton,

00:05:48.920 Alberta, Randy Boissoneau and his business partner. They were, they were 50, 50 owners in this

00:05:53.820 company, Global Health Imports. Now, Randy doesn't own it anymore. Um, Minister Randy doesn't own it

00:05:58.640 anymore because he, he, he, he collapsed his shares in the business on the eve of his appearance, uh,

00:06:04.980 before the ethics committee, once we found him out. And now I'll note that this past weekend,

00:06:11.060 Randy Boissoneau apologized for, you know, for saying he was indigenous when he's not. So he's saying

00:06:17.960 that he's not, but he blames his business partner. And these two have this funny relationship where they

00:06:23.560 were sharing all the profits, but, but, uh, Justin Trudeau's minister, Randy Boissoneau doesn't want

00:06:28.280 to share any of the blame. He doesn't want to share blame for, um, falsely saying that it was

00:06:32.380 an indigenous owned company trying to, uh, you know, um, disenfranchise actual indigenous owned

00:06:38.200 companies. Um, he does, he, he, he said he didn't know that his business partner had applied for

00:06:43.960 government of Canada contracts while he owned 50% of the company while he was sitting at the cabinet

00:06:48.080 table and they did get a contract with Elections Canada. I'm sure that, um, when Elections Canada is

00:06:53.220 picking or other government departments are picking from prospective vendors, um, having one of the

00:06:58.820 co-owners of a company sitting around the cabinet table, it's probably a safer bet, uh, for them

00:07:03.820 knowing that, uh, that's who, you know, approves, uh, approves their budgets and the like. Um, and he

00:07:09.580 said, well, he didn't have anything to do with that. He also said he didn't communicate. Randy Boissoneau

00:07:13.440 said he didn't communicate with his business partner while he was in cabinet. But then these text

00:07:18.320 messages came out and they, they talk about, uh, between Steven Anderson and Randy Boissoneau,

00:07:22.820 and they say, uh, and, and his business partner said, well, it wasn't that Randy. Um, that's an

00:07:28.740 autocorrect. All nine times? All nine times. And now, and now there's more text messages that have

00:07:33.600 come out in, in court filings because this company's being sued more than a half a dozen times for, uh,

00:07:39.700 for fraud, alleged fraud. And, uh, some of which includes a warehouse fire, a suspicious warehouse fire

00:07:46.480 that remains, um, unsolved, um, unsolved by the, the Edmonton police. Um, and, uh, and we now learn

00:07:53.960 that Randy Boissoneau did in fact talk to his business partner while he was at a cabinet retreat.

00:07:58.860 So, um, um, quite literally at the cabinet table, he's directing his business. And if none of that,

00:08:06.480 uh, if none of that sets off any alarm bells, there was reporting today that, that Randy Boissoneau's,

00:08:13.540 uh, and his business partner's company, um, shared business, uh, you know, uh, they shared an address

00:08:19.240 with an alleged cocaine smuggler. And this is unbelievable that this is who Justin Trudeau

00:08:27.920 has put in cabinet and keeps in cabinet. And so of course, of course, Randy Boissoneau should resign.

00:08:35.060 Any one of those things should be enough.

00:08:37.180 A glass of orange juice costs a conservative cabinet minister, her seat and her cabinet post.

00:08:41.820 But meanwhile, we have all of these things and the liberals are going to the barricades to,

00:08:47.900 to defend one of their own, which like we know, Jamie, that this is, this is, uh, par for the

00:08:54.320 course for them. Yep. They look out for liberal insiders and they expect Canadians to pick up the

00:08:58.400 bill. And it's always the same thing, right? It's not happening. You guys are crazy. Look the other

00:09:03.000 way. Okay. Maybe it's happening a little, but you guys are still crazy. Okay. It's happening a lot,

00:09:08.140 but we're not going to talk about it, right? We're, we're somewhere at the beginning, right?

00:09:11.380 They're denying it, but it's starting to admit that maybe something a little bit shady was

00:09:15.780 happening. Anybody else should be fired. Anybody else in private sector or otherwise would lose

00:09:21.660 their job if they did this. Yeah, absolutely. When you, when you tell that many lies, uh, there,

00:09:27.440 there are consequences with your, you know, with your employer and, um, and look,

00:09:32.160 Bosnow and his business partner, Anderson came before a parliamentary committee and they said

00:09:36.540 things that aren't true. Um, they made applications to the government that, that were intentionally,

00:09:42.660 intentionally misstated, um, the facts and they have connections and involvement with people who are,

00:09:51.440 uh, in, who are alleged to be involved in very serious criminal activity. And, um, again,

00:09:58.700 can you, I, I just can't think of a private sector employer who would have one of these people sitting

00:10:04.300 around, uh, you know, the table in the C-suite, but meanwhile, that's who Justin Trudeau, um, that's

00:10:09.820 who Justin Trudeau picks to, to help lead this country. And, uh, it's no wonder, it's no wonder

00:10:15.420 that housing starts are down. It's no wonder that the dream of home ownership, um, you know, feels like

00:10:21.060 it's been destroyed for so many young Canadians. It's no wonder that food bank use has reached, um, record

00:10:26.500 highs. You know, it's no wonder that the Canadian dollar is, is plumbing depths that haven't been

00:10:31.840 seen in, in decades. And that's, that's nine years of, of Justin Trudeau and, and the NDP liberal

00:10:38.000 government. And they still have no plan for the economy, especially with changes on the U.S. side.

00:10:43.180 We have a president that is, is fairly aggressive in terms of, uh, bringing investment and jobs back

00:10:48.160 to the U.S. But the, but Justin Trudeau continues to turn a blind eye, right? They, they continue to hamper

00:10:53.540 our energy industry. We still don't have a softwood lumber deal. And, and the list goes

00:10:57.900 on. Like we are not a competitive country under these liberals. Well, that's right. And, you

00:11:03.840 know, uh, Pierre Polyev said it best when, you know, Donald Trump is, is going to think

00:11:08.500 that Justin Trudeau is auditioning for the job of cabinet secretary for job creation down

00:11:13.520 in the United States, because, you know, the carbon tax alone is enough to, to scare away

00:11:18.900 investment or drive it down, uh, to, to the United States. But, you know, uh, capping production

00:11:23.900 in our natural resource sector. Um, these are the decisions that, that Justin Trudeau and

00:11:28.860 his, and his government are making all the while the United States are looking to, to sharpen

00:11:34.360 their pencils and, you know, create, you know, create jobs, attract jobs, retain them. And

00:11:39.240 it seems like it's the farthest thing from concern for, for Justin Trudeau, but that's because

00:11:43.000 he doesn't feel the effects of, of his disastrous economic vandalism. And it's Canadians who pay 0.98

00:11:49.160 the price. Absolutely. And especially going back to how we started, Mark Carbon Tax Carney,

00:11:53.740 uh, also has in his portfolio, uh, investments in, uh, oil and gas in other countries, right?

00:12:00.380 So he, he advocates for the carbon tax, hampers our ability domestically to create jobs, opportunity

00:12:07.640 and wealth, but also cashes in on the other side when there is still demand, but the actual

00:12:14.440 production is done elsewhere, right? So you, you hamper us, allow that production continue

00:12:19.040 or increase, and he makes money off it. That's right. Yeah. Sending, sending the hard-earned

00:12:24.120 tax dollars of Canadians overseas to dictators to buy dirty oil instead of investing here in

00:12:31.720 Canada in clean, ethical Canadian natural resources that would create good jobs, restore powerful

00:12:37.100 paychecks to our country, to our citizens. And it, it, it's hard to imagine that, that they're

00:12:45.060 doing this by accident. Right. It's all done for you. Yeah. It's being done to you, not for you.

00:12:50.140 That's right. That's exactly right. Yeah. You know, as the ethics critic, man, this is one after the

00:12:55.000 other. Yeah. You know, and, and I, I wish, I wish that, um, there wasn't so much to do because it

00:13:01.880 really does, you know, it, it really is disappointing for Canadians. When I, you know, I meet people on the,

00:13:06.840 on the street or they, they write in or call into my office and I talk to them and, and they just

00:13:11.720 don't understand how it is that, um, that there's so many of these liberal scandals just in, in, you

00:13:18.140 know, the, the, uh, $400 million for the green slush fund, 186 conflicts of interest. That's

00:13:24.140 paralyzing parliament right now. The, you know, $60 million arrive scam with $20 million going to,

00:13:29.960 to two grifters who didn't do any IT work on it. You know, that, that really upsets and frustrates

00:13:35.580 Canadians. And you, you see the $9 million condo on billionaires row for, um, for Justin Trudeau's

00:13:41.720 media pal, Tom Clark. And, and of course this latest scandal with, with, uh, Randy Boissoneau,

00:13:47.820 Justin Trudeau's minister from, from Alberta. And that's, this is just, you know, we've dealt with

00:13:53.440 all this in the last year and it's all just part of the growing list of scandals from a government

00:13:59.320 with a prime minister twice found guilty of breaking ethics laws himself. His public safety minister

00:14:03.580 broke ethics laws, his parliamentary secretary, now the liberal speaker, uh, broke ethics laws.

00:14:08.680 The trade minister broke ethics laws. It's a, it's a cabinet of serial lawbreakers in a government

00:14:14.960 that has no respect for, for Canadians. And they are big believers in big government and small

00:14:23.460 citizens. And I, and I, and I, and I, and this is what I tell folks when I meet with them who are

00:14:27.760 discouraged. You know, life wasn't like that before Justin Trudeau. It won't be like, it won't be like

00:14:32.040 that after him. And that's why when, you know, when Pierre Polyev talks about, um, you know,

00:14:37.380 small government and big citizens, I'm, I'm very optimistic and hopeful, you know, for, for our

00:14:42.540 country.

00:14:43.240 We have some clips. I totally forgot to play them, but let's play them quickly. And then,

00:14:47.900 so we'll queue up cut two, and then we will, um, get your closing thoughts. Play cut two.

00:14:54.080 The prime minister wants his buddy, Mark Carbon Tax Carney's company to be in charge of 10 billion

00:14:59.500 of Canadians' pension dollars. Now, he doesn't want him to be subjected to any of the conflict

00:15:05.240 of interest rules. All the power, all the money, none of the accountability. Why don't they

00:15:10.040 just call a carbon tax election?

00:15:11.940 When it comes to Canadians who disagree with their vision of the country, instead of allowing 0.96

00:15:17.620 for that disagreement to happen, they attack them personally and try to bring them down.

00:15:21.740 The Conservatives only have one objective, and that's to tear down Canadians who don't

00:15:25.880 share their beliefs. Thank you.

00:15:27.140 That answer is bizarro, worlds, because we remember the Canada summer jobs and the attestation

00:15:32.440 that certain groups had to check and adhere to. The values test, right? This is unbelievable.

00:15:40.500 Anyway, the floor, so are you going to respond to that or close it at any point?

00:15:43.900 No, look, this is, this is exactly right. And when I listed, you know, Carbon Tax Carney's,

00:15:48.960 favours that he looked to cash in in the days after he was named Justin Trudeau's economic

00:15:54.020 advisor. And he did it in a way, Jamie, so that, so that Carney could avoid all of the

00:15:58.820 conflict of interest rules. So he appointed him through the Liberal Party instead of, you

00:16:02.260 know, through the Prime Minister's office. And so this is, this is to shield him from,

00:16:06.280 from accountability. Meanwhile, in that example, the one I didn't mention previously, Carney

00:16:10.860 lines up his company, Brookfield, to get their hands on, you know, 10 billion Canadian tax

00:16:16.780 dollars. Like this, this is unbelievable. It's all about helping Liberal elites. And so

00:16:22.600 they're, they're rewarding and they're lining the pockets of their well-connected friends.

00:16:27.420 And the Liberals, you know, want to say that this is, you know, about, you know, personalities

00:16:32.400 or, or, you know, us, us being hard on people. Canadians have had a really hard time over the

00:16:39.440 last nine years with the NDP Liberals. And they expect that, that we're going to put our elbows

00:16:45.180 up and that we're going to fight for accountability and, and restore that promise

00:16:50.460 of Canada. And so, you know, they can, the, the government house leader who answered in

00:16:55.420 the video there, she can sound as disappointed as she wants, but the, if they want to hear

00:16:59.880 disappointment, they should have a conversation with Canadians on the street who are really 1.00

00:17:03.700 hurting after nine years of their, their economic vandalism and policies of destruction.

00:17:09.040 I'm sorry. Your file is so busy, but I'm more upset at what they're doing to Canadians than 1.00

00:17:15.540 the average everyday person who is struggling. So thank you very much for joining us. I do

00:17:20.300 appreciate that. We had some other material we didn't get to. We'll have you back another
