00:00:00.000 welcome to the Candace Malcolm show my name is Chris Sims I'm the Alberta director for the
00:00:06.720 Canadian Taxpayers Federation filling in for Candace on her show today thank you so much for
00:00:11.620 making us a part of your day and your work week this brand new work week kicking off remember if
00:00:16.200 you haven't done so yet make sure you subscribe and like this video and share it with your friends
00:00:21.900 who need some red pills okay we got a really good show for you today because there was a big win
00:00:27.720 that happened late last week so war's not over okay not in full retreat yet but we kind of blew
00:00:35.180 up a bridge and cut off a couple of train supply lines here and that is that Prime Minister Mark
00:00:40.700 Carney made a big announcement remember how his government was going to ban the sale of normal
00:00:47.760 gasoline and diesel powered vehicles by 2035 it was going to be a complete ban but in like four
00:00:54.380 months time like in the new year it was going to start the ban yeah so before this big change
00:01:01.320 okay car dealerships were going to be forced by the government to sell 20 percent of their new car
00:01:10.220 sales only as battery powered cars if 20 percent of people don't want to buy them tough cookies they
00:01:17.800 were just going to have to sit there and pile up as dead stock or the car dealerships were going to
00:01:23.520 have to pay like a big increasing penalty cost so suffice to say this was going to massively
00:01:29.920 screw up your ability to go out and choose to purchase the kind of energy powered vehicle that you want
00:01:38.720 if you wanted a gasoline or a diesel powered vehicle you should be able to go do that if you want to
00:01:44.600 go buy a battery powered vehicle with your own money you should be able to do that but no the feds
00:01:50.440 were going to stomp right in there and say no no we're going to force you so here's what happened
00:01:54.680 Carney felt the heat he felt the heat from tax fighters and from viewers like you
00:02:00.680 i mean that when you're calling them out you're sending emails you're making phone calls you're
00:02:05.960 reaching out to your member of parliament saying this won't work and he blinked so this is super
00:02:12.320 important okay for two different reasons one we can't afford this and strategically this is usually
00:02:19.320 a strong indicator that something's gonna go okay so what happened is trudeau put in this whole ev
00:02:26.600 mandate thing as the media calls it the gas the ban on gas and diesel powered vehicles and then Carney
00:02:32.200 came in as the new prime minister and he's got this flaming wreckage around him okay the budget is a
00:02:38.360 disaster we're blowing more than a billion dollars a week on debt interest payments uh big companies
00:02:43.400 aren't investing in canada they've blocked pipelines like things are a mess okay so on friday he said oh
00:02:50.440 um let's delay the implementation of that big mess on car dealerships for a year let's study it
00:02:58.760 this is a good thing like i said the war is not over but this is them stepping back quite often i'll
00:03:05.960 describe it that politicians and political leaders will often get themselves really high up in like
00:03:12.440 ideological trees they'll climb right out onto a big shaky limb because there's something that they just
00:03:18.440 decided think sounds good but it doesn't make any sense okay and because people have been harping on
00:03:25.320 this saying that we can't afford this we don't have the electricity for this we don't have the money to
00:03:30.120 build new electricity to power all these battery powered vehicles because so many people have been
00:03:34.600 pushing back for so long he's climbing down out of the tree this is a really good thing so we
00:03:41.880 got to do two things one we need to give him room to climb out of a tree so good job i'm glad he's
00:03:49.240 delaying this by a year that's the right thing to do so far two we have to keep up the pressure so
00:03:57.560 let's listen directly to prime minister mark kearney and how he phrased this on friday to add
00:04:04.040 flexibility to the automotive sector we will remove the 2026 electric vehicle availability standard
00:04:11.880 which specifies the share of new vehicle sales that must be electric next year
00:04:16.680 this will provide immediate financial relief to automakers at a time of increased pressure
00:04:21.960 on their competitiveness and the government will begin immediately a 60-day review of the ev standard
00:04:28.600 to identify future flexibilities and ways to reduce costs pierr pauliev was very quick to jump out
00:04:36.040 there with his assessment of things again the conservative party leader and official leader of
00:04:40.920 the opposition has a seat back he is now the member of parliament for battle river crowfoot let's listen to
00:04:46.280 what he had to say after being a passionate advocate for banning gas-powered vehicles calling for them to be
00:04:53.320 banned by 2030 in his book values which by the way was much more aggressive than trudeau's plan abandoned
00:04:58.840 in 35 2035 he's finally admitted that the conservatives were right just like we were right on the carbon tax
00:05:06.760 but he's doing a clumsy retreat saying that he's going to delay this mandate so now businesses who would
00:05:15.800 otherwise consider investing in auto making here in canada will have to put that investment on hold
00:05:21.880 well mark carney dithers for another year to try and figure out how he can ban people from putting
00:05:27.880 gas and diesel in their trucks and cars mark carney can't even get his flip-flops right well quite a
00:05:35.880 strong statement so again he talks about it being clumsy so you can picture mark carney kind of climbing
00:05:40.280 out of the tree i just described and he's kind of scuffing his knees on the bark on the way down but
00:05:44.520 we want him to scrap this thing all together and in fact i'm not sure if we have uh the globe and mail
00:05:50.440 picture from it and i believe that we can take a look at it here the globe and mail okay mainstream
00:05:55.880 media newspaper i would call it kind of one of the the deans or the trendsetters amongst the
00:06:02.840 parliamentary press gallery even the globe and mail editorial board is running with a headline of
00:06:09.160 carney should pull the plug on the ev mandate so if you've got the globe and mail editorial board
00:06:16.120 okay saying things like this i think this thing is winnable i think it we can force it to evaporate
00:06:24.200 the issue is how long is this going to drift along and still screw up the ability for car sellers to be
00:06:33.400 able to get in good stock i was listening to the canada strong and free uh discussions and apparently
00:06:40.440 some car dealerships are already saying i'm not going to pull in any gas or diesel powered vehicles
00:06:45.160 this year because i just can't afford to try to sell those ones i'm going to have to only focus
00:06:50.920 on these battery powered vehicles because my quota is so tough like this is already having a big effect
00:06:57.320 on the market and another element that's important here so it's important to see things like the globe
00:07:02.440 and mail come out and say yeah scrap the ev mandate or pull the plug on it it's important to do
00:07:06.680 but keep an eye on the rest of the mainstream media because it's important that we don't let
00:07:12.760 this just all slip away okay and let them go kind of study it sort of for the next year we got to keep
00:07:18.680 up the pressure because there was something funny that happened over the weekend and in politics and
00:07:24.120 news i would have called this uh the big fun shiny distraction okay when you're getting a bit of heat
00:07:29.560 over something serious quite often a government will throw it a bit of a circus and lo and behold the
00:07:34.760 prime minister went for a run that's fine it's important to stay fit and stay in shape who
00:07:41.000 cares if the prime minister's going for a run as long as he's got security with him and the sun's
00:07:46.440 shining everything's fine but take a look at this we've got headline after headline after headline
00:07:53.960 look at that trail race oh look 26th kilometer oh interesting look at him there in the trees
00:08:00.120 again that's nice it's good that he can do this but you notice that so the byline says canadian press
00:08:06.280 on most of those and you can see the little logo next to it see canadian press right i'm pulling this
00:08:13.720 up because it's again something for our viewers and for tax fighters to understand been in the business
00:08:20.680 for a long time so i've seen how newsrooms change quite often when you see most of the mainstream media
00:08:27.720 going with the same headline over and over and over again i totally understand that a layman who's
00:08:34.280 watching can think do they all have a meeting or something like how are they all agreeing to cover
00:08:39.640 the same darn thing usually quite often with a similar picture or a similar headline now that can happen
00:08:47.000 but i doubt it people are usually too busy to do that here's the thing canadian press is a wire service
00:08:54.680 okay what that means is one person writes a story for that entity and whatever publication happens to
00:09:02.760 have an account with them can just paste it it's right there that is how you see the same story
00:09:11.320 auto-populated basically from halifax to tofino okay even the cbc the state broadcaster which takes 1.4
00:09:19.720 billion dollars per year from us okay even the state broadcaster look carefully on their print stuff
00:09:26.120 online look at the byline quite often it will say canadian press which brings me to my main point here
00:09:34.040 when it comes to media government-funded media it's not just the cbc that is funded by the government
00:09:40.760 okay hundreds of millions of dollars are going out the door your money taxpayers money through the
00:09:47.320 government to media organizations mainstream media organizations the great folks at the very
00:09:54.920 independent media black locks reporter did the math on this and it shakes out to almost thirty thousand
00:10:01.800 dollars of funding per reporter for the media companies that take this money from the government
00:10:08.440 okay and just generally speaking the vast majority of the mainstream media are on some form of government
00:10:15.400 payroll there might be some exceptions here and there but suffice to say the vast majority of them
00:10:19.880 are on government payroll you cannot have a free press folks when the journalists are getting paid by the
00:10:26.280 government free press means free from government and this also plays into the fact that quite often
00:10:33.240 you'll see if you noticed that you'll see something on the cbc or some other mainstream media over and over
00:10:39.080 again about trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump we get it when it comes to things
00:10:44.840 like you know threatening the auto industry or heaven forbid when he was threatening alberta's energy
00:10:49.160 sector that's when premier smith flew down there and spoke to ben shapiro and tried to get him to
00:10:53.960 convince him that tariffs were bad the tariff thing is important but why is it that there's such a
00:10:59.400 domination of it in the news all the time why is it for example that ontario premier doug ford
00:11:04.600 okay who's screwing up his own budget whose own auto sector is under threat whose own steel
00:11:09.800 manufacturing sector is under threat won't say anything about the industrial carbon tax which
00:11:15.560 carney's imposing on his steel industry but he'll make a big bit of theater over dumping out a bunch of
00:11:20.520 crown royal because trump because i don't like trump uh note crown royal is made in gimley manitoba which
00:11:28.040 is in canada so quite often we'll hear and there's a poll here you can see it's from abacus data
00:11:34.760 that shows that canadians are sick apparently of hearing the constant trump trump trump drum beat
00:11:42.440 so little note okay take it from a long-time journalist canadian outlets may want to reverse
00:11:49.480 their focus and now is the time to do that we've got the house coming back next week there's lots of
00:11:54.600 stuff happening here in canada about 50 of canadians are within 200 every month of not being able to make
00:12:01.640 the minimum payments on all their bills that is grim we've got to get our industries restarted we have
00:12:08.120 to get taxes down and we have to get government out of the way the good news is is that we are winning
00:12:15.080 some important battles at least we're winning some important skirmishes what's next with this whole ev
00:12:21.880 mandate thing and the next in the battle let's find out joining me now is dan mctaig head of canadians for
00:12:28.440 affordable energy and a general in this fight dan i gotta just take can we take a little bit of a
00:12:34.760 victory lap for a second here like the war is not over but i think we blew up a bridge and cut off like
00:12:41.480 two of their supply lines here are you are you happy to see that this so-called ev mandate is at least
00:12:46.680 being staved off for another year yeah i'm just surprised that they are too daft or perhaps too arrogant
00:12:53.000 to suggest this was bad policy to begin with chris you and i talked about this for years and knew it was
00:12:58.200 going to wind up uh in this uh in this position uh the fact that uh kearney seems to be undoing
00:13:04.440 everything that justin trudeau and guibo and mckenna did over the past 10 years isn't surprising that he
00:13:11.000 is not prepared to make a declaration to kill it off completely i think is uh going to leave to more
00:13:16.680 concern from auto manufacturers parts industries as well as uh dealers across this country that
00:13:22.680 this uh this bad smell hanging around everything is just going to continue going for some time
00:13:28.600 potentially destroying uh the automotive sector as we understand it so you mentioned a couple of
00:13:33.560 names there and i want to get to the palace intrigue in uh shea liberal in a second because i just can't
00:13:38.760 resist it but let's get stay with the nuts and bolts here so as i can tell from reading the articles
00:13:45.240 so as of right now if you just woke up okay if you've been napping before car before carney made
00:13:51.240 this announcement on friday starting in 2026 20 of all new vehicle sales were gonna have to be
00:13:59.720 battery-powered vehicles meaning this is going to directly affect gas and diesel-powered vehicles and
00:14:05.720 ultimately end with an entire government ban on the sale of new normal i would describe cars and trucks
00:14:13.240 in canada so this was already affecting the market dan it was already messing things up at car dealership
00:14:18.600 lot levels these things weren't moving naturally i think in the latest quarter didn't the natural
00:14:24.600 demand and sale of evs drop to like eight or nine percent that's right down 40 from the second quarter
00:14:31.720 this time last year there's a number just came out i see that uh my friend paul vera has sent me
00:14:36.360 something uh suggesting that the numbers have uh pretty much cratered and that's not just a reflection
00:14:42.520 of uh concern it's a reflection of the fact that uh those who uh mooch or need subsidies to buy these
00:14:49.400 things aren't getting them now therefore they're not going to buy them and no one of the right mind
00:14:52.840 would buy them they're not a very effective vehicle i mean i've been in the automotive industry i
00:14:56.840 understand electricity my family's been in for about 80 90 years in whitby ontario mctagg electric by the
00:15:01.800 way um and i've worked in the automotive sector this just doesn't make sense it didn't five years
00:15:06.920 ago it sure as hell isn't going to be going forward so maybe a reprieve but uh i think for a lot of
00:15:12.120 people those numbers are just too uh too impossible to uh to ignore more importantly and chris this is
00:15:17.720 really central to all this we talked about this back in november when trump came in it wasn't about
00:15:23.160 terrorists it was just getting rid of the ev mandate in the united states and uh with 90 of all your
00:15:27.880 vehicles manufactured in ontario and places like said to a lesser extent quebec and even bc with
00:15:33.720 that market now going and gone uh oh you'll have an ev availability all right you have a glut of them
00:15:38.600 that no one will want to drive because of course we already have golf carts in canada yeah exactly
00:15:44.120 and to the point where i think a lot of folks are like oh well if somebody chooses to buy them that's
00:15:48.920 fine yeah that is fine but one don't put taxpayers on the hook for it so they've been mooching off
00:15:53.720 corporate welfare now for years and it was going to cost people an arm and a leg and even without
00:15:59.400 if you just take the tax credits out of it if you're buying say a regular sedan versus another
00:16:05.240 regular sedan and you do the cost comparison between battery powered and gas powered there was still
00:16:10.440 close to a twenty thousand dollar price difference there and so off the lot and so for an average
00:16:16.120 working family of whom about fifty percent are in really dire straits right now in canada like
00:16:22.120 they weren't able to afford those things further we weren't going to be able to afford to power
00:16:28.600 them we don't have the juice to make these things go and we don't have the money to build the juice
00:16:35.800 towers to make these things go the last time we did the math here just raw math if we switched
00:16:41.800 all of the cars that we own right now our private fleet of vehicles over to electric it would be like
00:16:47.160 14 new can-do reactors that's just the start that's not touching transmission or the charging
00:16:53.800 station so this thing should have been dead in the water in november exactly to your point
00:16:59.640 to this point dan you've described it so well before like really the auto industry
00:17:04.760 it's basically one industry that straddles a border the notion that one huge side of it was going to
00:17:12.200 completely walk away from this and us out on our little archipelago was still going to be able to
00:17:17.320 make this thing work was irrational wasn't it it was an exercise in magical thinking um and you know
00:17:24.440 i predicted the bright drop van plant would go i predicted stellantis wouldn't go that the ford plant
00:17:29.400 noteville wouldn't go that uh uh ion lee lee lee lee ion or whatever the hell they call it went bankrupt
00:17:36.600 north vault went bankrupt uh you know we have uh examples of lion uh bus bankrupt i mean come on
00:17:44.760 folks wake the hell up what kind of world do you live in in which you can the only thing that matters
00:17:49.400 is if you can subsidize their building subsidize their purchase and subsidize their infrastructure
00:17:53.880 that doesn't work in a country that chris you and i are going to talk about in a couple of weeks
00:17:57.960 when mark carney finally has the intestinal fortitude to stand up and say i'm going to present a
00:18:02.040 budget and i'm not going to parse it when it's over 100 billion dollars i mean it's clear that the uh
00:18:08.200 the end is is near and that the decision that carney made the other day shouldn't have been
00:18:11.720 about extending it it should have been damn well killing it eliminating gutting it getting rid of it
00:18:15.880 i'm glad to see the conservatives have picked up on that i'm not surprised they're practical people
00:18:19.960 but uh you know the elbows up crowd uh can go figure out how to uh you know to make more electric
00:18:24.760 vehicles that the world doesn't want and if they do want them they get them a half price from china which
00:18:28.600 we have tariffs on this is such uh a mess i'll put it nicely because we're on tv so it's a complete
00:18:35.960 mess so the practical the practical side of me is trying to be strategic here and say okay give him
00:18:42.680 room give carney room to climb down out of this rotten tree house that trudeau built okay because he can
00:18:48.200 easily come in he's got political capital i would argue you may disagree i think he's got political room
00:18:53.240 and capital to come in and say wow um look at all this flaming wreckage that was the other guy's plan
00:18:58.200 i'm the new guy i'm throwing all this stuff in the dustbin and i'm going to be a different sort
00:19:02.600 of person um so there's that practical side of it and then the other part of me that just wants to
00:19:07.640 fight and bring things down when it's costing taxpayers money and infringing on their ability
00:19:12.440 to choose the kind of car they want to buy is saying just keep up the fight constantly so right now
00:19:18.280 at the taxpayers federation we've put out a bunch of emails we're saying right now is the time to bombard
00:19:23.480 your member of parliament especially if he or she happens to be a liberal saying kill this thing now
00:19:28.920 because dragging this on for a year you know better than me will this still be affecting
00:19:35.080 car dealerships like if i'm if i'm a car dealership owner and i'm trying to get you know supply in
00:19:41.400 out or just i'm just in purgatory now aren't they or some form of limbo
00:19:45.080 well i think for a lot of car dealers and a lot of car manufacturers um you know they have to deal
00:19:51.800 not only with the uh the elimination of this market which won't exist at least for the foreseeable future
00:19:56.760 in the united states therefore completely removing the need for us to build vehicles in canada
00:20:01.640 altogether it's that there's now an impact not on the electric vehicle uh you know fantasies there's
00:20:07.000 an impact now on the existing uh construction and building of internal combustion engines we're likely to
00:20:14.200 have traded away uh you know the farm and for a handful of beans and there isn't going to be some
00:20:19.240 kind of thing growing out of the ground that magically makes us a better nation uh we've done
00:20:24.040 enormous damage to ourselves by going along and elbows up and to get along um and many people chose
00:20:31.080 chris to ignore you and what i had to say over the years is that you cannot possibly get a nation like
00:20:36.600 canada practically speaking to involve itself in these kind of net zero nonsense and there's a whole
00:20:41.880 pile of them we don't just talk here about you know uh clean fuel standards and the which is the
00:20:46.760 second carbon tax the main carbon tax which you and i've been on for years and also electric vehicle
00:20:51.480 mandates emissions caps look we have built and erected uh an idea around net zero that says that
00:20:58.760 this can be imposed on canada willy-nilly and um if you're a government you know worker and you
00:21:03.000 got you know decent pension and whatnot you don't care but for the rest of the country it's a quick uh
00:21:08.280 it's a quick walk downhill and in fact we're tumbling i just got finished at the canada strong
00:21:13.480 and free conference which was held here over uh the weekend in calgary and uh excellent conference
00:21:18.520 we had jamil giovanni come out uh brian lily flew out to interview premier daniel smith lots of really
00:21:22.840 great speakers tristan hopper brought the house down with this weird mix of nihilism and humor um
00:21:30.200 premier smith made a bunch of different points as she often does and she pointed out exactly what you
00:21:35.000 were just mentioning there uh things like the the cap on alberta energy they call it an emissions cap
00:21:40.920 but of course it's a production cap and she mentioned the idea of banning the sale of normal
00:21:45.640 gas and diesel powered vehicles and just how much damage this is doing the west coast tanker ban bill c69
00:21:51.640 all of these things that have been strangling especially alberta's industries now for a decade
00:21:58.360 now i always try to have some white pills here or some optimism do you think it's
00:22:04.120 can we reverse this damage if everybody just kind of says okay the scales have fallen from our eyes
00:22:09.400 let's scrap the stupid mandate let's scrap things like bill c69 and energy caps can we
00:22:14.760 like resuscitate this thing i think it is possible it's just going to take a while isn't it
00:22:20.280 well we need to put on the uh the adult pants and take off the little boys short pants because i mean
00:22:25.880 it's not just the carbon taxes it's not just the electric vehicle mandate it's not just the emissions
00:22:31.960 caps or bps the outputs based pricing system it's an industrial carbon tax that already exists
00:22:37.400 that's got to come off too we can't possibly compete against the americans or anyone else
00:22:42.120 when we have these kind of onerous uh impositions placed on us and we also need the federal government
00:22:46.520 as the canadian taxpayers federation has been very quickly to point out that continues to borrow more
00:22:51.720 money than it's taking in and leaving not just this but many generations with a debt that we're never
00:22:56.440 going to be able to come up why am i worried about this because damn it 1990 i was an mp and we had
00:23:02.200 to fight that massive debt by basically throwing everything out cutting back programs cutting hospitals
00:23:08.600 loading down on provinces uh you know dropping people's expectation of social programs to maintain
00:23:14.280 the system because we saw this was not viable in 10 short years the cult that took over in 2015
00:23:19.800 to spoil all that so mark carney can't talk just about the fantasies of net zero get rid of the entire
00:23:25.000 apparatus he's now going to deal with a massive debt and get the economy running again the only
00:23:28.680 way he's going to do that is guiding manufacturing and get a lot more oil and gas sold to the rest
00:23:33.000 of the world and i mean pipelines that should have already been determined should have already been
00:23:37.480 uh approved today and if anybody wants to stand in stand in its way fine get a legal and a physical
00:23:44.200 bulldozer to push these people out of the way because they've done enough to damage the economy
00:23:47.800 over the past decade and generations to come that's not fair that's un canadian and we need to stand up
00:23:52.440 up against those people the premier mentioned this um very well and the thing that was just
00:23:58.440 sounded discouraging is that again it's the confidence if you don't have a company looking
00:24:04.120 at canada with the confidence of oh yeah i'm going to put my money there i'm going to build that plant
00:24:09.160 i'm going to build that pipeline apparently it's just floating really low right now and to your point
00:24:15.640 unless carney really turns a corner here like a sharp heel turn how are they going to like instill
00:24:22.680 confidence again especially if you take a look at the united states where you know trump's going all
00:24:28.040 guns a-blazing right he's he's trying to make it boom he's not going to be putting an industrial
00:24:32.360 carbon tax frankly obama abandoned his plan to have a carbon tax he thought about it but he didn't
00:24:38.440 do it so the states aren't going to do this anytime soon with this kind of crazy green lockdown
00:24:43.640 situation to the economy like do you think i'll put it this way carney like wrote this book okay
00:24:49.560 while he was un special envoy on climate stuff stuff like do you think he's got it to be able to do a
00:24:56.440 big heel pivot on this stuff well he's got pretty much to hold himself whole but we've seen up to now
00:25:02.760 he doesn't know how to make a decision and his decisions are simply to temporary you know postpone or put
00:25:08.680 off or delay i mean this is becoming uh the proverbial mr dithers of uh of politics and he's
00:25:15.000 uh far worse than anything i've seen the big problem for canada and its leadership and the
00:25:20.360 woke types that took over and did their esgdei nonsense over the past 10 years is that you really
00:25:27.400 you really told the rest of the world don't invest in canada and even if you did there's no guarantee
00:25:31.880 you're going to be able to cover it so we do yeah we build a pipeline but it costs you and i 50
00:25:35.720 billion bucks the private sector would have done it for nothing created the same amount of jobs and
00:25:39.720 created the same opportunities but no we have a weak canadian dollar because we got nothing no one
00:25:43.560 wants to buy anything in canada and uh you know you only have to go in beyond the economics we flooded
00:25:48.680 the country with uh migrants eight to ten million over the past 10 years to make of canada uh a real
00:25:54.760 basket case and i i think you know for those uh you know work in the private sector that's it's it's
00:25:59.480 a struggle for those in the those that can survive for those in the public sector hey believe me
00:26:05.160 the grim reaper of these bad politics is coming to knock on your door very very soon and you will
00:26:10.120 lose your jobs because of your woke ignorant short-sighted views of the world canada does
00:26:15.800 not function without its resources manufacturing the fact that we've done everything we could to
00:26:19.640 crap on that industry and those industries is a reflection of the fact that we have seen a
00:26:23.720 declining a decline a major decline in your standard living job numbers are going through the roof
00:26:28.440 it's getting worse not better mark carney can do all he wants all the you know jiggling and the
00:26:33.160 dancing that he wants at the end of the day he's got to get rid of for everything that he's
00:26:37.160 represented since day one to your point last two points i'm going to get to palace intrigue to
00:26:42.760 finish things off but first uh are you glad to hear uh pierre poly of the conservative leader
00:26:48.680 say we're going to keep on fighting the industrial carbon tax and we're going to keep on fighting the
00:26:53.240 second carbon tax which we call it the second carbon tax it's otherwise known as the low carbon fuel
00:26:59.000 standard it's the reason why in british columbia it's still costing you on average it floats up and
00:27:04.920 down based on the on the price but on average around 17 or 18 cents extra per liter of gasoline
00:27:10.360 and diesel trudeau in all of his wisdom and genius used british columbia as a template he looked at the
00:27:16.920 price of gas in vancouver and said that's awesome let's make that across canada so he used it as a
00:27:21.880 template across canada so the low carbon fuel standard or the second carbon tax is going to keep on
00:27:27.320 increasing i but is it yearly dan across canada okay and not only ethanol you've got now 15 ethanol
00:27:34.520 in gasoline mostly in premium so your your mileage is going to wind up being you know it's severely
00:27:40.040 impacted and you got a chainsaw to fix one of the weekend here all gummed up in the carburetor you got
00:27:45.240 a lawnmower get rid of the gasoline at the end of the season because guess what you're going to wind up
00:27:49.480 having to do some damage to the uh to the uh the the the mechanism of the carbureted mechanisms but
00:27:55.000 beyond that it also means that uh we're using food for fuel we're now saying there isn't enough uh
00:28:01.560 there isn't enough uh ethanol being produced in canada it's all come from the united states
00:28:05.080 and so even if we wanted to have these great fantasies about the great things that we're doing
00:28:08.760 we're just making our americans uh very rich in the rest of the world laughing at canada and you
00:28:13.480 know what we did not once not twice not three times but four times so canadians have no one to bloody
00:28:19.560 well blame but themselves unbelievable for folks who want to see more about what dan's talking about
00:28:26.280 there about the food using food for fuel um second street uh dot org posted a great paper on this a few
00:28:32.120 years ago what if we kept it in the ground question mark if we switched everything to plant-based
00:28:37.400 plastics and all this stuff that a lot of people are pushing what would happen i forget the percentage
00:28:42.440 but the amount of arable land meaning what you can grow food on that would have to be required to replace
00:28:48.520 petroleum like mineral oil that we pull out of the ground otherwise was astonishing um i wanted to
00:28:54.680 quickly point out before i get to our palace intrigue because it involves palace intrigue a little bit
00:28:59.160 i was noticing that when pierre polyev made his big announcement saying we're going to continue
00:29:04.440 to fight the carbon tax this is the second carbon tax and industrial he dug his heels right in and good on
00:29:09.640 him um some of the how would i describe them i would say a newer influencers who i would generally
00:29:16.920 say are on the right were saying hey man that was the last fight pick up the new fight drop this carbon
00:29:22.680 tax stuff and so i felt like you know grandma simpson here saying no pull up a chair okay carbon taxes
00:29:30.680 are the og way for globalist governments to control your life do you want some big government taxing and
00:29:37.640 punishing you for eating food or for driving a vehicle of your choice or heaven forbid heating your home
00:29:44.920 if you're cool with that then you must really love big government control my friend so i just wanted
00:29:50.920 to point that out there for the kids these days who are watching this stuff pierre polyev was right to
00:29:56.520 say no we're going to keep up the fight against carbon taxes and he should his last conservative
00:30:02.520 leader didn't and thought he'd trade a few western votes for a few canadian votes and didn't get either so
00:30:08.120 at the end of all of this um the reality is that and the practical reality is that for conservatives who are
00:30:12.920 naysayers and think that we should go down this road talk to your neighbors get the next few months
00:30:17.480 they're not as giddy they're not as confident they're not as cocky and they feel frankly deceived
00:30:22.200 by what mark carney and his guys represent they're supposed to be the guys that stood up to trump they
00:30:26.280 didn't they caved they took a knee and at the same time they're breaking down everything that they
00:30:31.720 once represented so i don't know this looks like a liberal government that looks a lot more like a
00:30:36.440 conservative government pierre polyev maybe should stop saying these things because i'm pretty sure that
00:30:41.000 that within the next few months mark carney is going to come around to his senses and adopt them
00:30:44.520 as well steal his lunch yeah lastly i want i can't help myself okay so for folks who don't know
00:30:50.280 dan mctaig was a long-time member of parliament a liberal member of parliament and so he knows those
00:30:56.280 hallways and where the bodies are buried and stuff so let's just imagine say mark carney prime minister
00:31:02.920 mark carney goes blue he goes blue tory the central banker within him and his abacus takes control
00:31:10.280 and he starts really bringing down the cost of things he starts you know fighting to balance
00:31:14.920 the budget which would be miraculous and we want him to do that do you see a split growing
00:31:21.080 between the stefan guibo types like the hardcore like left like we want to seize um you know gas-powered
00:31:29.160 vehicles remember they were floating the idea of a tax on pickup trucks and we caught them doing it
00:31:34.520 like that sector of the caucus i'm not talking the voters the folks who are there members of parliament
00:31:40.680 and cabinet ministers do you see if carney keeps going this kind of let's be practical direction
00:31:46.760 do you see a split forming there well they'll go back to their old old selves that mark carney won't
00:31:52.440 then they will um the guibos can go back to uh promoting marxism and separation as he had in the
00:31:57.720 past or maybe dangling from bridges uh towers or maybe uh former premier's homes i don't know
00:32:04.040 and frankly i don't care because the guy shouldn't have been given that position to begin with in the
00:32:08.120 first place but it's only because of a cult that now pervades the liberal party in which the leader
00:32:13.480 is everything and every everyone else who has an opinion is nothing look how long it took to get rid of
00:32:18.200 uh that that you know trudeau i mean it was god awful the public didn't even want him six percent
00:32:23.480 support i mean there is no doubt in my mind that you know uh um we'll see people uh going back to
00:32:31.720 their old selves uh or maybe joining the old organizations that they thought uh you know
00:32:36.680 could work well but at the end of the day sooner or later uh charities are going to be audited these
00:32:42.600 charities that call themselves you know foundations and whatnot and do charitable work it's all political
00:32:47.960 activism uh someone's going to pull the pin on these people and finally get them uh the audits put
00:32:52.920 back on them so they're investigated properly because they're not doing charitable work they're
00:32:57.240 doing a lot of political advocacy and as a result of that making canada a lot poor it's damaging
00:33:02.760 canadians i know of course how this works and to me um it's it's inevitable things are declining
00:33:09.400 rapidly no one is happy no one trusts the liberals and if the liberals among themselves want to fight
00:33:14.600 so be it but there's nothing left of the ndp there's nothing left in terms of integrity on the left
00:33:20.120 they've just spoiled the country and they have to account for it ideologically speaking do you
00:33:25.320 think if carney starts doing stuff like this say i'm i'm dreaming say he gets rid of the ev mandate
00:33:30.360 or the ban on gas and diesel powered vehicles say he gets rid of the industrial carbon tax i know i'm
00:33:34.760 dreaming okay just walk along fantasy land with me for a second say carney does those things does
00:33:40.040 this then leave more room for the ndp to have more flowers to pick and get some of its base back because
00:33:46.840 trudeau went so hard left right with a lot of these really dumb fiscal policies like it was just
00:33:52.840 astonishing that they didn't have a lot of room there right because he was already doing that dumb
00:33:57.480 stuff does this leave more of that stuff then right for the picking for whatever the ndp becomes
00:34:03.960 well the efforts of previous governments to balance the books to get the finances right to get the economy
00:34:08.920 going and it's conservative and liberal of over a decade and shield us against you know some global
00:34:14.200 downturns as well as uh you know shield us well market wise to make sure that we wouldn't be
00:34:20.040 caught the flat-footed again as we were in the 1990s uh means that there is opportunity for the ndp uh
00:34:26.600 to to come back and to uh eat the liberal lunch because liberals even liberals are realizing that uh when
00:34:32.120 they're out of work they can't turn around and be trendy and cool and have the elbows up when in fact
00:34:36.600 their pockets are bare my concern is not about the ndp because i frankly there always be room for
00:34:42.840 quacks and weirdos on the left but my biggest concern has been how we've lost the center which
00:34:48.840 gravitated which brought people in who wanted to work who wanted to you know pull up their you know
00:34:53.400 roll up their shirt sleeves and find pragmatic solutions consensus building completely lost in
00:34:58.520 favor of ideologies that are extraordinarily negative to canada the wef stuff that we've seen net zero
00:35:05.160 mark carney's gonna say no i'm nixing net zero once he does that i'll be glad to join join again
00:35:11.480 and to say this is a great thing and he deserves those uh that he deserves those kudos but the damage
00:35:17.000 is done and it's time for a new prime minister and if canadians don't believe me they certainly didn't
00:35:21.160 13 15 17 weeks ago they're sure as hell gonna believe it now dan mctaig canadians for affordable energy
00:35:27.480 thank you so much for your work on this fight i think you should take a bit of a victory lap today
00:35:32.680 because there'll be more fight tomorrow thanks so much for joining us great to be here thanks
00:35:37.240 once again that was dan mctaig and he is heading up canadians for affordable energy uh he used to run
00:35:43.480 a thing called gas buddy remember back when this really smart dude would be able to tell you what
00:35:47.880 your gas price was going to be tomorrow that's dan mctaig so definitely a person whose brain you want
00:35:53.400 to pick if you don't follow him yet online make sure that you go to canadians for affordable energy
00:35:58.360 and do so speaking of canadians that you need to follow and get involved with we have got a great
00:36:04.760 program that i wanted to highlight for you here and it's a special essay contest for university
00:36:10.600 students okay and it's from the manning center of course named after preston manning uh for folks who
