I am your host, Krusty Canuck, and this is the Krusty Canuck Podcast.
00:00:37.160
This week's show, we'll be discussing the ever-so-frustrating carbon tax and the malarkey
00:00:43.540
and the abomination that was the Alberta leadership debate that we saw on CBC television.
00:00:55.180
Well, before we begin, I'd like to say that the music is brought to you by Killing Joke.
00:01:00.000
I do not own the rights of any of this, so we'll get that legal term out of the way.
00:01:09.200
So, we know this is looming for a couple of years now, and it's been in effect in four
00:01:16.480
So, on average, a Canadian taxpayer is paying, or actually anybody driving a car in this country,
00:01:25.680
is paying anywhere from $1.20 per liter, in some cases in BC, to $1.50 a liter.
00:01:35.620
All this is supposedly fight the big carbon monster that Canada is producing, even though
00:01:41.400
it's been proven that Canada's carbon footprint is roughly maybe 1.6% compared to the world,
00:01:48.780
you know, compared to our neighbors to the south, to India, and to China.
00:01:53.420
So, basically, we are nothing but a drop in the water of malarkey when it comes to the
00:02:00.580
Personally, I just think it's nothing but a cash grab.
00:02:03.740
Liberals got stupid, spending more and more money for the sake of virtue and for the sake
00:02:10.740
Meanwhile, the rest of us Canucks have to pay more per liter, more for heating, more for
00:02:17.180
living, just to make our so-called liberal leaders happy.
00:02:26.820
Who in their right mind proposes any kind of tax is a good thing, right?
00:02:30.760
People were upset with Mulroney back in the late 80s and early 90s when he brought in the
00:02:35.960
And I remember the button saying, government-sponsored theft, which it was.
00:02:40.980
But, of course, you know, us Canadians, we learn to accept it.
00:02:49.840
All these big debts have come and gone, and yet there's always some reason that some party
00:02:53.860
gets in and wants to tax, tax and tax and fucking tax people.
00:03:00.920
It's getting to the point that no matter what the hell you do, you can't even scratch your
00:03:03.840
ass, pick your nose, though it's someone saying, oh, we have to tax that, right?
00:03:08.160
I always thought carbon was a good thing to help people with growing, i.e. agriculture,
00:03:13.620
gardens, the abundance of boreal forest we have in this country.
00:03:17.200
I always thought carbon was a good thing to keep plants growing and flourishing and nutrients
00:03:21.220
and all that good stuff that you're taught in grade 10 science.
00:03:24.400
However, powers that be think that we're all dirty, nasty polluters and we should just
00:03:31.100
And I wonder what their carbon footprint is, ladies and gentlemen.
00:03:33.900
All these bigwigs that fly around the country and all these big summits in Paris and other
00:03:38.800
parts of Europe alike and say the magical words, oh, Canada will dedicate so much money to fighting
00:03:49.140
Because every time they campaign, every time they go on television and hand us more lines
00:03:53.100
of shit, taking more money out of our pocket because they can't keep their fucking hands
00:04:02.860
I looked at my gas bill, gas and hydro, this past month and yeah, it's kind of ridiculous.
00:04:11.440
Well, I'm not going to exactly say how much it costs, but you get that big headline on page
00:04:16.140
two saying carbon levy, which is roughly about $35.
00:04:21.300
So for everything that I use to heat my home and to keep the lights going, I'm going to pay
00:04:26.660
an additional $35 because, you know, it's adding a carbon footprint and not to mention
00:04:33.380
that gasoline from my truck costs another $15 extra every time I fill up.
00:04:39.620
So, you know, the math I've done is it's pretty phenomenal, not to mention the small businesses
00:04:46.900
out there and according to our beautiful leadership, of course, you know, Ms. Notley and her infinite
00:04:52.140
wisdom and of course her buddy, Justin Trudeau and his infinite wisdom, small businesses tend
00:05:05.640
I wonder how anybody feels about the whole carbon tax scam.
00:05:10.220
Personally, I like to rip everything up and just throw it to their faces, you know, but if you have a comment,
00:05:15.160
feel free to leave me a comment at crustycanuck.ca or you can find me on YouTube,
00:05:20.400
crustycanuck or on Facebook or here on Podbean.
00:05:28.140
So, carbon tax, basically it's just a tax for breathing, an excuse to take more money
00:05:34.200
in the Canadian taxpayer's pocket and to sit in virtue signal over and over again.
00:05:40.320
You know, all the so-called quote-unquote experts can tell us, oh yes, it's not revenue,
00:05:48.300
Well, if it's revenue neutral, why do you want it so bad?
00:05:51.400
Why does Clement Barbee stand by it so adamantly?
00:05:54.900
Why does Ralph Goodile, Mr. Public Safety Minister, stand by it so adamantly?
00:06:03.060
Of course, Justin stand by it so anything adamantly when it comes to making someone else's money
00:06:11.280
Half of the caucus that he's appointed has never had to work a hard day in their life,
00:06:16.260
with the exception of a few assistants and some appointees.
00:06:21.360
But he embodies all this, do as I say and not as I do, because I know what's best for you, right?
00:06:35.180
And Notley, well, she's no different, you know.
00:06:39.500
I understood Albertans were craving for something different,
00:06:42.040
because Miss Redford was such a dink when it came to spending public money
00:06:50.320
Doesn't matter exactly what party she was representing or where she was from.
00:06:56.620
However, I don't think Notley was a great, great inspiration.
00:06:59.820
I don't think she was a really healthy alternative, to be honest with you.
00:07:06.400
Well, anything NDP on it to me just stinks of pseudo-socialism to the highest,
00:07:14.540
NDP in Ontario had a nasty track record of putting everybody into debt.
00:07:18.800
I remember that when Bob Ray was Mr. NDP leader.
00:07:22.980
The amount of debt that province had to accumulate because of his wise decisions.
00:07:26.940
The only good thing he did was he told insurance companies to smarten up
00:07:38.420
And then after him, a conservative government came in
00:07:42.340
and ended up having to cut certain social programs.
00:07:47.740
So which is bringing me to my next point of the Alberta leadership debate.
00:07:52.640
My wife and I were sitting there watching it on CBC,
00:07:54.960
and I was just, I don't know, I was dumbfounded.
00:08:00.080
I just didn't, it didn't really register with me as a debate.
00:08:08.100
Liberal candidate, Notley, Mr. Mandel, he used to be the mayor of Edmonton,
00:08:12.020
and Mr. Jason Kenney, sitting there squabbling back and forth
00:08:18.520
And I'm just, I'm shaking my head thinking, is that even a thing here?
00:08:30.360
And Quebec is still getting so many billions in Ontario
00:08:40.980
And the only thing Notley can really contribute
00:08:49.660
Anyway, I'll leave links at the bottom of my page
00:08:57.140
I don't know, I just, I had a hard time watching it
00:09:00.320
because not only were they spewing rhetoric and BS
00:09:03.440
about the whole diversity and the whole homosexual GSA agenda
00:09:21.920
You know, ironically enough, Mr. Liberal candidate, Mr. Khan,
00:09:36.540
They too are constantly worrying about the, you know, identity
00:09:43.760
especially looking after the rest of the country.
00:09:45.760
So I don't really take that Liberal candidate very seriously.
00:09:51.120
I don't take any Liberal candidate very seriously,
00:09:52.960
unless it's Ms. Raybould, who had the guts and the integrity.
00:09:59.400
But the rest of the clowns, it just seemed like a, just a circus.
00:10:10.980
It's like, what, are we watching a basketball game
00:10:13.120
or are we actually trying to hear a debate here?
00:10:18.180
Well, you know, actual journalists with integrity
00:10:29.920
what the hell are they talking about here, you know?
00:10:37.080
but there was no actual, you know, cold hard fact.
00:10:43.460
You know, when is this government going to tell
00:10:46.540
the federal government, look, you either back us up
00:10:52.260
That's, you know, that's the way I would look at it.
00:10:55.100
Well, you know, they have a tanker ban in B.C.,
00:10:58.780
but there's no tanker ban in the St. Lawrence Seaway.
00:11:02.900
And, you know, that came from our representative here,
00:11:07.480
Kevin Sorenson, when I did a town hall with him.
00:11:09.540
And he was very adamant in explaining the details
00:11:14.680
So it's nothing, no big mystery, ladies and gentlemen.
00:11:29.480
So it's kind of a slap in the face all the way around,
00:11:38.500
into the Pacific Ocean and Quebec and Montreal,
00:11:49.900
and yet they're worried about a handful of orcas in B.C.
00:11:53.600
What I understand of whales, they stay away from big ships.
00:12:13.260
I don't think he's been a liberal in this province
00:12:36.200
I'm definitely going to vote for Notley, that's for sure.
00:12:46.500
and try to look good at the taxpayer's expense.
00:12:57.760
and I miss watching a good old-fashioned debate.
00:13:16.900
But now it's just a big total mudsling, you know?
00:13:45.940
And I spend more time worrying about what's said
