00:01:44.100 uh based on the debate they had uh rachel notley and daniel smith vang for the uh covenant

00:01:50.160 premiership of the province of alberta yes all this stuff a lot of twitter feeds are lighting up a lot

00:01:56.100 of other social media feeds are lighting up and a lot of the mainstream media is being speculative

00:02:00.420 on who is going to be the better premier of this lovely province we call alberta yes that's right

00:02:16.820 beat c11 together keep canadian content alive and well by you my wonderful audience sharing the content

00:02:21.980 out there so yes as i was saying episode 207 yes we pay and they play that's right now in the last

00:02:32.500 debate rachel notley proposed an eight percent tax hike but on the ndp of alberta page they basically

00:02:40.240 want to increase it to 11 percent uh to coincide with ontario and quebec i think ontario is 11.5 percent

00:02:47.560 and la belle provence is at 11 percent so which is basically going to scare away any investment

00:02:53.340 that this province desperately needs to get things on the go because of all the inflation that our beloved

00:03:01.460 prime minister and his allies have uh put together for us for us peons here in uh in the rest of the

00:03:08.840 country so i really don't care what people think about the ndp i remember the ndp causing monstrosity

00:03:15.900 back in ontario in the late 80s early 90s uh the only good thing that came out of that was they told

00:03:21.020 the insurance company to stop gouging people because i remember being the brash age around 16 years old and

00:03:26.860 going for my license and then discouraged because there was no chance of me actually getting a car

00:03:31.200 not just because of the price of a vehicle at the time but because of what it would cost me in

00:03:36.160 insurance so uh hand it to bob ray um we all know bob right now he's mr international ambassador

00:03:42.880 to the finer points of china and the u.n uh who was a staunch ndp-er but he became a liberal

00:03:48.480 and basically it's just a kiss-ass to justin trudeau and a career politician and he mandated

00:03:53.980 different insurance issues back at that time meanwhile putting the province into debt during a

00:03:59.340 recession kind of like what we're going through right now uh when i look at motley notley and her 0.91

00:04:04.100 bs uh the last time she was in i think it's something like 180 000 jobs left the province

00:04:11.400 i'm not mistaken and not to mention how she wanted to tax farmers again and basically treat uh family 1.00

00:04:19.840 farms and family members of said farm as employees rather than just actual members of the family dynamic 0.98

00:04:25.860 now i used to work on a farm as a kid and honestly ladies and gentlemen i are my french i fucking 0.99

00:04:31.280 hated it i hated it i hate with every fiber you know dairy farming is something that you really really 0.88

00:04:37.320 want to do not that you have to do you know if if the market consisted of uh no work other than

00:04:44.560 working on a farm then i would do it because it's a good pay it's good satisfying work but when you're

00:04:49.660 living on a farm and you're there 24 7 it gets to you you know that's just me though there's nothing to do

00:04:55.080 with being lazy or trying to sound privileged it's just it's not for everybody it's like teaching

00:05:01.180 it's like working in a factory manual labor sometimes this is not for everybody they should

00:05:04.880 get into something else but because of that experience i had as a kid i embrace hard work

00:05:12.220 and i respect the canadian farmer doesn't matter if they're wheat doesn't matter if they're pork

00:05:17.040 beef producers doesn't matter if they raise horses uh if they earn their bread and butter off

00:05:22.580 the rodeos and stampedes agriculture is what built a lot of this country it's what kept people alive

00:05:28.600 get people fed especially during the pandemic and now you get these no-it-all politicians because

00:05:34.020 excuse me might have a degree in something other than reality

00:05:37.840 excuse me they take it upon themselves to regulate and add more crap to the monopoly of of being a farmer

00:05:47.720 and it's hard enough for these uh fine gentlemen and fine women out there that raise cattle and raise

00:05:55.080 crops um it's hard enough for them to get ahead let alone more government regulation coming their way

00:06:01.060 so back to my point about the ndp uh they want to raise the corporate tax to 11 percent instead of

00:06:06.620 eight so that extra three percent is going to be really hard on any up-and-comers or anybody who

00:06:14.440 potentially wants to invest in this province so that's something to think about ladies and gentlemen

00:06:19.380 and miss notley was in cahoots with justin when it came to the carbon tax too her idea of getting 0.91

00:06:26.340 our oil to market was using railheads so therefore you're burning more diesel

00:06:30.120 and putting more people out of their way to make sure oil is getting shipped because the pipelines

00:06:37.140 are bad as far as they're concerned right it's bad for the environment no it was just bad for them

00:06:43.240 and their their narrative anyway here's uh an article in regards to the lost jobs that miss notley

00:06:50.060 would promote if she got in the politics now just read along here too for you ladies and gentlemen

00:06:56.700 and uh i'll let you decide my wonderful viewers uh what it is and i'll leave the links in my

00:07:03.360 description for you all to follow along there too right uh it's basically just uh an article from

00:07:09.340 the national post from jack mince uh published on the 18th so four days ago now we'll get this

00:07:15.380 skewed up squared away and uh you know lost jobs and investment albertans can expect from rachel

00:07:21.660 notley tax hike and it's amazing how a lot of these individuals love their taxes right so it's real long

00:07:27.760 here for you so this week the alberta ndp leader rachel notley promised during the province's election

00:07:32.880 campaign to raise the corporate income tax rate on a medium and large corporations by three points

00:07:37.700 so three percent right that would make the provincial rate eleven percent almost the same as ontario's

00:07:43.160 and quebec's eleven point five percent virtually eliminating alberta's corporate tax advantage in

00:07:46.900 canada right so alberta currently attracts investment the lowest corporate tax rate in canada but its

00:07:52.500 eight percent rate is almost more attractive than the 44 u.s states if not they were to raise

00:07:59.060 provincial corporate tax to eleven percent combined with federal corporate tax rate of fifteen

00:08:02.840 percent alberta's 26 percent rate will lose advantage not just in canada but 18 more lower

00:08:08.480 tax u.s states this will have a measure unpacking both investment and employment for albertans

00:08:12.940 if notley wins the election her tax hike would come at a time when corporations already start paying more 0.77

00:08:18.660 corporate taxes that's because the federal alberta package of enhanced capital cost allowances

00:08:23.040 introduced a few years ago are to be phased out from 2024 to 2028 although the u.s is phasing its own

00:08:29.720 out in 2018 era bonus appreciation scheme as well so interesting eh i estimate the economic impact

00:08:38.000 of notley's proposed corporate tax hike on alberta by using an effective tax rate model i developed seven

00:08:42.920 years ago with philip basil of the university calgary's school of public policy and the effects

00:08:47.100 are projected to be significant the three percent or three point hike numbers corporate income tax rate

00:08:53.360 is estimated to result an investment loss of 1.1 billion dollars to alberta an employment loss of

00:08:59.960 thirty three thousand seven hundred jobs this is a consecutive estimate since i don't include the

00:09:05.280 impact of corporate tax hikes on available cash needed by businesses to pay their bills with the

00:09:11.440 federal and provincial governments phasing out enhanced capital cost allowances an additional loss of

00:09:15.480 2.1 billion 2.1 billion dollars in investment and 59,500 existing or potential jobs is estimated

00:09:25.900 right interesting that would mean the combined impact of rate increases and scaling back capital

00:09:32.800 cost allowances result in a total loss of 3.2 billion in investment and 93,200 potential or existing jobs

00:09:40.840 notley has said she believes her corporate tax plan would raise provincial revenue by 6.2 billion over

00:09:46.660 three years but as pointed out by the university of calgary economist trevor tome that fails to account for

00:09:52.340 the impact of investment and tax planning losses that can result from a corporate income tax hike

00:09:56.880 based on my earlier research i estimate that a three-point increase in the corporate income tax rate

00:10:02.060 will cause the corporate tax base to shrink by 15 percent this would imply the ndp estimates of the corporate

00:10:08.860 tax hikes are off close to 1 billion over three years this does not include the loss in personal

00:10:14.120 or excise taxes that would result from people becoming unemployed alberta would need to attract

00:10:20.060 more investment in the coming years to support economic diversification the energy transition and

00:10:24.060 the anticipated removal of enhanced capital cost allowance measures this would be woefully

00:10:28.740 inopportune time to be raising corporate mtax in alberta so i'll just leave it at that ladies and

00:10:34.020 gentlemen you know i'll just leave it at that because every time we turn around there is always

00:10:39.280 somebody something someone who wants to increase more taxes on you now it doesn't matter if it's

00:10:47.740 this honcho or this party or that party every time they want to get investment i can understand a tax

00:10:53.920 rate i i can't i can understand a tax rate right but when you keep upping the ante and increasing

00:11:00.320 things you're just deterring people away you're turning people away we saw that with our prime

00:11:05.900 minister justin trudeau he turned germany away for lng he turned japan away turn the better part of the

00:11:12.260 less fortunate in europe away when it come to lng oh we'll get you some hydrogen instead oh oh it

00:11:18.440 doesn't make good business sense to sell to you right now even though this country's in debt because of

00:11:23.680 their ridiculous spending how do you want us to think the ndp is going to do with uh with spending if they get

00:11:29.460 in again okay now i know there's there's quite a new uh orange wave coming up through edmonton and

00:11:35.880 calgary so to my listeners and and listeners in to my listeners in calgary edmonton what do you guys

00:13:54.340 play so i'm not going to gallivant more about justin trudeau frankly ladies and gentlemen i get really

00:13:58.740 fucking tired of talking about the guy honestly because you know he's on the world stage he was talking to 0.85

00:14:04.260 the prime minister maloney of italy talking about uh gay rights trans rights and all this stuff and i've 0.97

00:14:09.640 always understood italy as being a very very very very liberal country especially when it comes to

00:14:15.080 people's sexuality so more or less justin just bark up the wrong tree trying to look virtuous and 1.00

00:14:21.580 looking fantastic when he's basically embarrassed us on the world stage in regards to human rights

00:14:27.680 now whether you agree with the convoy or not i've banged heads with people over the past year in

00:14:34.060 regards to the convoy uh we all saw how he reacted we all saw what he did so he doesn't really have 0.86

00:14:41.500 any fucking right whatsoever to discuss human rights with any other country other than his own cabinet

00:14:47.600 okay so regardless if you agree with what they did in the convoy or not he basically herded people 0.99

00:14:53.720 like cattle charged people unnecessarily had people charged regardless if it came out of his mouth or

00:14:58.740 not or his party's mouth but a lot of people jumped the gun and charged the innocent he uh also was

00:15:04.300 quite happy with miss freeland and her you know free some bank accounts and bragging about oh we're

00:15:09.920 going to stop terrorism when they incurred terrorism themselves and you've seen it right the government

00:15:16.660 goes out of their way to stop you from taking out your money money that you earned um who's the terrorist

00:15:23.040 something to think about especially my twitter followers out there that keep you know stomping

00:15:27.140 their feet getting mad at everything i say or post because i'm always challenging the status quo 0.94

00:15:31.200 in regards to socialism and projected communist bullshit especially when it comes to indoctrination 0.97

00:15:36.360 of young minds there too i want to reiterate ladies and gentlemen let me be very clear 0.98

00:15:41.340 i personally don't care how you raise your children as long as they're safe they're fed and they're

00:15:46.200 looked after and they're loved okay and if little billy comes up to you one day and he's actually

00:15:51.340 confused about who he is and let him sit and stew with it for a while and let him make the decision

00:15:56.360 when he's 18 or 19 same if you have a little girl jane she can't decide where she is and where she's

00:16:01.560 going let her decide okay this whole gender spectrum thing has got to stop okay because as a libertarian 0.96

00:16:10.060 you're screwing with kids liberties basically okay and i've actually had this validated from some

00:16:16.460 shrinks i know personally you're really screwing with kids liberties screwing with their minds in the 0.83

00:16:20.880 name of affirm affirmation or affirming care they call it right and the likes of notley and a lot 0.74

00:16:26.880 of these other woke progress that have woke progress that's yeah uh screwing with kids and

00:16:33.020 screwing them up that's not going to help because you want kids to grow and be functioning adults 0.93

00:16:39.000 regardless of their sexuality i don't care if they're gay i don't care if they're straight i don't 0.94

00:16:44.220 care if they're bi love who you want but as long as they're able-bodied adults who can make

00:16:49.000 those decisions for themselves right because you're not going to send billy to the store with

00:16:53.960 uh 20 bucks a six-pack right he can't smoke a cigarette with his old man while watching the

00:16:59.200 hockey game right or he can't sit and have a glass of wine with mama when she's having one of those

00:17:03.900 rough days no right but all this gender bending stuff leave kids alone that's all you know let them 1.00

00:17:10.700 grow up and decide right kids kids are not to be molded into artwork they're not to be molded into

00:17:16.980 statues uh for someone else's virtue okay so when i look at these progressives talking about education

00:17:25.740 and about fairness and equality yeah be fair and be equal make sure everyone has an equal opportunity

00:17:32.080 to do something to get out there to do things on their terms okay to change their life on their

00:17:40.080 terms if they feel they have to to express themselves on their terms right all this woke stuff about this 0.91

00:17:46.940 rampant racism everywhere bullshit because all these progressive groups go out of their way

00:17:53.020 to constantly put people in categories over and over again and like i've said before i was not raised 0.97

00:18:00.160 in that kind of household i was raised to treat people with dignity and respect and i judge people

00:18:05.440 on their actions not their gender not what they put in their mouth or put in their rear or put in

00:18:11.580 their nostrils or their eardrums okay whatever you're into on how they treat people okay and we're just

00:18:20.020 throwing more lambs into an unnecessary slaughter just for the sake of wokeism to be nice to people 0.84

00:18:26.840 there are many ways you can be nice to people without worrying about their gender or their race

00:18:30.700 showing courtesy right holding a door little things like that right you don't have to think a certain

00:18:37.560 way a lot of these progressive types are pushing that agenda you must think this way this is progress

00:18:43.280 you must do it this way this is how it is no it's not how it is it's not it's it's basically just 0.95

00:20:00.500 a clothing allowance now to my american listeners out there we have a governor general

00:20:05.460 and because the name of the british monarchy it just goes back to canadian canadiana when canada was

00:20:11.620 still technically a colony right uh but uh lately i really don't think we need a governor general

00:20:18.900 anymore uh just for the sake that we don't really answer the king anymore there are some traditions and

00:20:24.740 values yes that some people hold dear but when i look at the governor general it's just position

00:20:28.900 that's appointed um and then that's it she sits in the senate oversees this oversees that or he's 0.93

00:20:36.580 oversees this oversees that and that's really that's nothing but this story excuse me it comes

00:20:43.460 from the 17th of may so last week uh from find people in national post there excuse me christopher

00:20:51.060 nardi yes governor generals build over 88 000 in clothing to taxpayers since 2017 so that's still quite

00:20:58.660 a bit of money over the past six years for clothing oh my goodness ottawa governors generals julie payette

00:21:04.500 and mary simon expense over 88 000 clothing they got to keep with taxpayers footing the bill for a range

00:21:10.180 of items from ceremonial clothing to a 450 e-crew hat and 20 t-shirts so since 2017 payette and her

00:21:19.220 successor simon have expensed nearly 200 clothing items with price tags ranging from 3 000 for a black

00:21:24.820 velvet dress with silk lining purchased by payette in 2018 to an 1895 white gloves by simon for queen

00:21:31.860 elizabeth ii's platinum jubilee celebration events in london last year in 2022 while some of the items

00:21:37.700 were worn for specific ceremonies connected to the governor general's role many others appear to be

00:21:42.180 clothing for personnel or day-to-day business years for example pay several t-shirts shoes sweaters

00:21:49.140 a 600 daily 680 dollar top and dress pants ranging from 320 323 dollars to 590 dollars within months of her

00:21:58.580 appointment in 2017 in november 2019 she expensed wow wow 1641 dollars 71 cents in boots and in 2020

00:22:10.580 she held bill taxpayers for seven custom-made items such as a 2470 dollar suits and an 1800 special order

00:22:18.740 vest i hope there's some ammo in that vest or something i don't know what you ladies and gentlemen but

00:22:23.460 oh my god in a statement payette spokeswoman lisa boyer know that she only spent roughly fifty

00:22:31.780 thousand dollars of her total clothing allowance over four years oh well that's that's all said 0.73

00:22:36.420 to only 50 grand well okay holy shit she quit the role in january 2021 after review concluded she 0.91

00:22:44.260 created a toxic workplace well yeah you know you've got fifty thousand dollars in thinning clothing of 1.00

00:22:49.300 course you have a toxic workplace you're not really doing any work you're just being a goddamn 0.97

00:22:53.220 model boyer also insisted that all clothes were related to madame payette's function duties and 1.00

00:22:58.340 foreign state visits she was also a very active governor general who promoted health and physical

00:23:03.060 activity everywhere in canada all the way to the northwest passage that's right everybody stay fit

00:23:08.180 and stay hot yeah look at me do you like my boots simon also expensed dozens of uh items within weeks

00:23:15.620 of her appointment in july 2021 such as pants dresses shoes jackets and 160 scarves since then

00:23:21.540 uh she's also expensed the number of dress shoes up to four hundred twenty nine dollars 99 cents dress 1.00

00:23:27.220 pants dresses and suit jackets wow so you know that's uh that's i know i'm not gonna read any more of

00:23:35.460 this it's just self-explanatory ladies and gentlemen no really it is it's it's not really worth the time

00:23:40.900 or the effort you know uh it's an appointment and as far as i know the salary of a governor general is

00:23:47.860 anywhere from i think 280 000 to about three 325 000 a year right and with that kind of salary um can

00:23:57.860 you not buy your own shoes and your own thousand dollar boat own riding crop and saddle perhaps depends

00:24:03.700 what you're into you know no that's just but basically when i look at these positions in our

00:24:11.620 government this is what those individuals are entitled to absolutely nothing couldn't have said

00:24:21.860 better myself really absolutely nothing so that's a lot of money to to shell out on attire and stuff too

00:24:28.740 and when i look back at previous governor generals i remember when i was in my first uh first seven

00:24:35.220 years adrienne clarkson was our governor general and she never ever had the courtesy of wearing a

00:24:41.220 uniform once now the governor general is you know head of state basically in charge of the military right

00:24:46.900 uh you know on paper per se and yet i've never i never saw her wore a uniform at once michelle jean did 0.98

00:24:56.900 um payette did um david johnston did and there's something come up with him too and his you know

00:25:03.700 investigation in chinese interference and um mary simon has i think i think i saw her in an air force

00:25:10.100 uniform not mistaken but needless to say uh when it comes to military events or any kind of speaking

00:25:18.100 engagement i would think the uniform would be sufficient enough and i really don't think any government

00:25:24.180 position should have a clothing allowance other than let's say to replace some socks or some

00:25:29.780 getch maybe some shirts for the men maybe some blouses for the ladies in parliament that's it that's you 0.97

00:25:36.740 know like that's as far as i would go i'm just like that that's a shitload of cash for just making an

00:25:44.260 appearance okay and fifty thousand dollars there are people that try to make a living on that much

00:25:50.900 money okay there are people who try to make a good goal there are people out there on average making

00:25:58.900 from 49 to about 51 000 bucks a year and because of the tax hikes we've we've been in the past three

00:26:05.860 years a lot of those individuals have to pay more in taxes yet the governor general gets to sit there

00:26:13.300 and complain or purchase 160 scarves or a thousand dollar boots you know while it's getting tougher for

00:26:22.420 families of four just to put gas in their tank well done justin stay updated and follow crusty canuck on

00:26:44.020 furthermore when it comes to um expense accounts i understand a lot of the big corporations have

00:26:50.980 expense accounts when it comes to lunches hobgobbling you know all that good stuff when you hobgobble and

00:26:58.180 you know meet and mingle and stuff too but it just adds more fuel to the fire do we need these positions

00:27:04.180 in our government anymore do we need any more of these positions at all governing us telling us what to do

00:27:10.980 again and for what for what for the sake of virtue for the sake of tradition do i honestly believe we

00:27:20.340 should sever ties with the monarchy to an extent yes to embrace our history and our past yes colonial

00:27:29.140 yes we had a colonial past and all the good parts of our history and all the bad parts of our history

00:27:34.580 too when it comes education i want kids to know that this is how our system was set up in the name of

00:27:40.260 whatever king whatever queen at the time and then we learn from there and then we also learn some of the

00:27:46.340 tidbits and the bad bits too right i believe in telling kids about residential schools i believe in teaching 0.89

00:27:53.940 more first nation cultures as well too an insight to languages an insight to the to lore an insight to

00:28:00.260 the dances an insight to society that was going on well before white people ever came to north america

00:28:07.140 okay but i'm not going to step back and hold back and be guilted or be shamed because of who i am

00:28:13.140 and i don't expect you my wonderful audience to be shamed to who you are i don't expect anybody in this

00:28:18.260 country to my friends in the states to my friends in europe to my friends all over the place everyone

00:28:22.980 who's listening to this podcast you do not be ashamed of who you are regardless of your gender

00:28:27.780 regardless your sexuality or your political belief we can't change history we can't change the past

00:28:34.820 but we seem to be regressing back towards it for the sake of a few brownie points or someone doesn't 0.99

00:28:40.980 like the fact that this happened 200 years before their fucking existence 0.98

00:28:44.740 and yet we're not teaching some of these kids that it happened get over it accept it move on 0.99

00:28:53.860 okay but i'm not expecting people to heal overnight too from some traumatic events that happened

00:28:59.620 70 years ago or 50 years ago or in some cases 20 years ago

00:29:05.700 but i am expecting people to learn and how to get along to the best of our ability and try to realize

00:29:12.900 that this country is worth fighting for regardless the democracy we have here is worth fighting for

00:29:19.060 yes we've got some terrible people in charge but we can still go out in the street while it's still 0.98

00:29:24.420 legal and speak our effing minds as we should and not to worry about stupid things and feelings 0.98

00:29:33.220 right let those kids dwell on their feelings let those educators dwell on those feelings and the 1.00

00:29:38.260 woke mandates it's going to turn around and bite them in the ass later anyway and let's just hope to 0.99

00:29:43.220 god we're there to see it happen you know 0.99

00:29:49.940 i don't know what to say other than you know i'm trying not to uh you get mad and get angry at this 0.98

00:29:55.620 but enough of this ridiculous spending enough of this ridiculous finger wagging enough of it 0.69

00:30:00.260 all right we got the provincial election come up here in the 29th so another week 0.94

00:30:07.540 this province will decide who's going to be our premier motley notley or dangerous daniel smith

00:30:13.140 right there's been people who are not happy with her there are people who are happy with her

00:30:18.740 there are a lot of people who just love notley because she's so progressive yet she likes other

00:30:22.340 people's money so what's that tell you right we're gonna have a repeat of what happened back in 2015

00:32:06.980 gentlemen i'm just trying to queue up here a special segment here but i can't seem to find a photograph

00:32:14.420 anyhow i got lost at my cavalcade of computer uh computer jungle here but i you all know what i mean

00:32:26.980 when it comes to priorities of work when it comes to fairness and equality right it's like the title

00:32:33.300 card says is that we pay and they play and that's the dynamic that's it's always been we pay more taxes

00:32:39.220 they play with it okay and then i've dealt with people who kept saying well it is what it is and

00:32:44.020 you know there's only two strings certain in life death and taxes and it's they're only certain in life

00:32:51.220 if you're a tax collector or if you're mortician that's my logic right taxes are beneficial when it

00:32:58.500 comes to actual building of roads when it comes to actual education when actually teaching a little

00:33:03.620 kid how to read and write to think for his or herself okay to be critical to ask the tough 0.94

00:33:10.180 questions and educators should take responsibility and learn how to fucking handle them the same as our 0.88

00:33:16.100 politicians okay now when i look at rachel notley she has been responsible for having people uh removed 1.00

00:33:25.540 from her conferences and regards of how you feel about certain journalists or certain news prints or

00:33:31.060 certain certain tv shows or whatever gossip media that you like or don't like out there

00:33:38.020 if you're in the public eye you have to take responsibility for yourself and your party and it

00:33:44.340 doesn't matter if it comes from joe blow from the tabernacle news front or if it comes from somebody

00:33:49.940 from ctv news or global news if just because you don't like a certain reporter you don't remove them

00:33:56.020 out of your your press conference and then turn around and say we believe in democracy and freedom 0.97

00:34:03.860 like when you try to be an open hypocrite do you honestly think people aren't going to be paying 0.90

00:34:10.180 attention to those little details some don't because some treat politicians like they're gods 0.98

00:34:16.020 like they're gatekeepers like they have the secret recipe to make your life utopic oh no no

00:34:23.300 we as viewers we as consumers we as taxpayers as laborers as uncles and aunts and nieces and sons 0.75

00:34:30.340 and daughters veterans we got to stand up to these clowns and say no let the person ask you the question 0.76

00:34:40.500 and then you have the bloody courtesy of answering it that simple we should stand up and say no more to 0.99

00:34:46.980 this crap or we just go get out get ourselves a pad and paper and we take notes and we ask the tough 0.78

00:34:53.540 questions somehow try to get our uh press credentials so we can ask these people what is your plan with 0.99

00:35:00.260 this why do you want 11 tax hike what do you hope to gain from this you're going to save the environment

00:35:06.820 save a few trees you know are you going to build a giant blower that's going to blow the carbon up to

00:35:13.220 the atmosphere the famous all from carbon oh even though we're all made of carbon every time we

00:35:19.060 exhale carbon carbon carbon you're going to tax us in that too right and it doesn't matter if you're

00:35:28.420 an ndp or if you're conservative you're liberal if you're green if you're le bloc or if you're a

00:35:32.660 rhinoceros party or if you're libertarian you propose something to the public a reporter catches it 0.97

00:35:39.460 and he or she asks you a question in regards to said statement have the fucking courtesy to answer 0.98

00:35:47.780 as calmly and as professionally as you can be because you're in the spotlight but then to sit 0.93

00:35:52.740 there and paint it all up as some kind of unruly protester that doesn't give you any credential

00:35:57.860 whatsoever we've seen justin do that we've seen jagmeet do that we've seen mr freeland let me be

00:36:03.780 clear as i lick my pits do that so when it comes to this alberto election ladies and gentlemen vote 0.97

00:36:13.220 with your conscience leave the heart with your family and your livelihood and your lifestyle

00:36:19.940 who is going to represent you properly now i don't usually do this in the show but i think miss smith has

00:36:27.060 a little more gall a little more balls than notley ever would right that's just me though i don't 0.95

00:36:35.220 think notley has the balls or the gall she's got the balls to take money from you and to scold you 0.96

00:36:41.460 and she's a firm believer in the state looking after your kids too to teach him the finder point 0.97

00:36:46.500 the progress which is basically borderline communism because the ndp now as far as i'm concerned they're

00:36:53.620 not a force for the working class you know they want to force everyone to be working class and to 1.00

00:36:58.900 pay their union dues and pay extra taxes in the name of progress and the liberal brand well

00:37:07.780 i don't know what to say let's jump about that but the liberal brand has gone to 0.97

00:37:10.820 shit since the better part of 2014 and there's nothing liberal about them too and there are also 0.95

00:37:16.900 some conservatives out there federally yeah they're standing up in parliament trying to get 0.99

00:37:21.060 the truth about c21 and c11 but they also lack the balls too we need more blue-collar workers 1.00

00:37:29.860 and i mean you know grassroots individuals and i'm not trying to sing the song and praise of

00:37:35.780 the blue-collar hero but the blue-collar common sense is what's going to help us okay the can-do attitude

00:37:45.540 and not just for canada but for our friends down south our friends in mexico and for our friends across

00:37:50.100 the oceans east and west coast alike right why can't we make this country more liberty based

00:38:00.980 oh because liberty is such a dirty word it's such an american thing well no liberty is based on human

00:38:05.620 nature it doesn't matter if you're american canadian british german or from timbuktu liberty is human
