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

00:02:21.980
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
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
00:04:19.840
farms and family members of said farm as employees rather than just actual members of the family dynamic
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
00:04:31.280
hated it i hated it i hate with every fiber you know dairy farming is something that you really really
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
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
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

be limitless be battlefit links in the description so carrying on too with episode 207 we pay and they
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
00:14:04.260
the prime minister maloney of italy talking about uh gay rights trans rights and all this stuff and i've
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
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
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
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
00:15:31.200
in regards to socialism and projected communist bullshit especially when it comes to indoctrination
00:15:36.360
of young minds there too i want to reiterate ladies and gentlemen let me be very clear
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
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
00:16:20.880
name of affirm affirmation or affirming care they call it right and the likes of notley and a lot
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:18:51.280

00:19:53.220
and they play yes the governor general has uh been under scrutiny recently in regards to uh
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
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
00:22:36.420
to only 50 grand well okay holy shit she quit the role in january 2021 after review concluded she
00:22:44.260
created a toxic workplace well yeah you know you've got fifty thousand dollars in thinning clothing of
00:22:49.300
course you have a toxic workplace you're not really doing any work you're just being a goddamn
00:22:53.220
model boyer also insisted that all clothes were related to madame payette's function duties and
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
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
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
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
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
00:28:40.980
like the fact that this happened 200 years before their fucking existence
00:28:44.740
and yet we're not teaching some of these kids that it happened get over it accept it move on
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
00:29:24.420
legal and speak our effing minds as we should and not to worry about stupid things and feelings
00:29:33.220
right let those kids dwell on their feelings let those educators dwell on those feelings and the
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
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
00:29:55.620
but enough of this ridiculous spending enough of this ridiculous finger wagging enough of it
00:30:00.260
all right we got the provincial election come up here in the 29th so another week
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
00:30:30.820
2019 more jobs gonna be lost and the worth of the alberta worker is gonna go down we're gonna have more
00:30:38.580
regulations more quotas more diversity quotas you know more visual quotas or we're gonna start hiring
00:30:45.300
people based on merit because they have what it takes not because they look great in that blouse
00:30:52.340
fuck stay updated and follow crusty canuck on facebook twitter gap telegram youtube and podbean
00:31:10.740
and i can also go on all day in regards to uh about diversity and ethnic quotas and who represents
00:31:16.340
here represents there what we need is people that want the job that's what it is we need people that
00:31:21.380
want the job and it doesn't matter if they're black doesn't matter if they're white doesn't
00:31:25.460
matter if they're pink purple doesn't matter if they identify as this identify as that they have
00:31:29.860
the qualifications then by all means they should get the job based on the qualifications not just based
00:31:35.620
on the color of their skin or how they think they identify or how they pretend to identify we need real
00:31:43.140
people that want to be there for the sake of they want to do a good job and i'm all for hiring
00:31:48.420
who wants to do that i am all for people who want to get get along get ahead reach their goals
00:31:56.420
you know and just just be free just be free to do whatever they want
00:32:01.700
you know without hitting people taking their stuff it's that simple it is that simple again ladies and
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
00:33:10.180
questions and educators should take responsibility and learn how to fucking handle them the same as our
00:33:16.100
politicians okay now when i look at rachel notley she has been responsible for having people uh removed
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
00:34:03.860
like when you try to be an open hypocrite do you honestly think people aren't going to be paying
00:34:10.180
attention to those little details some don't because some treat politicians like they're gods
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
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
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
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
00:34:53.540
questions somehow try to get our uh press credentials so we can ask these people what is your plan with
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
00:35:39.460
and he or she asks you a question in regards to said statement have the fucking courtesy to answer
00:35:47.780
as calmly and as professionally as you can be because you're in the spotlight but then to sit
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
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
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
00:36:41.460
and she's a firm believer in the state looking after your kids too to teach him the finder point
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
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
00:37:10.820
shit since the better part of 2014 and there's nothing liberal about them too and there are also
00:37:16.900
some conservatives out there federally yeah they're standing up in parliament trying to get
00:37:21.060
the truth about c21 and c11 but they also lack the balls too we need more blue-collar workers
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
00:38:13.220
based you want to work for something you want to keep your family alive you want to be a good
00:38:18.420
provider you want to look at your bank account and see more than three digits there in some cases and
00:38:24.900
a lot of people i know personally they're lucky to see two especially after they pay their bills
00:38:31.380
and especially after this tax season and don't get me going about the cra and their
00:38:35.620
bullshit right they want to work at home and your pajamas and only go to the office two days of the
00:38:41.300
week because it's so toxic oh said no one i work in a toxic environment i work with a lot of manure and
00:38:48.100
a lot of cattle feed so i'm smelling that all day but it's not a toxic workplace because i work
00:38:52.900
with and work for some great people and it's nice to come home after a long day
00:38:59.780
and put my feet up after you know hauling feed and hauling shit
00:39:05.620
but it's good to come home and look at my fridge and realize there's something to eat
00:39:09.540
and my lights are still on because i'm up my bills but it's getting to the point where all of our
00:39:14.420
paychecks are getting smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller because we pay
00:39:22.180
