00:02:51.600
email links will be in the description there for you too to follow it in touch with me so as the
00:02:56.540
crowd said uh and a five percent tax on netflix okay and that's gonna be starting i think this
00:03:03.680
and a day now they warned us about two years ago how they wanted big corporations to pay their fair
00:03:08.580
share taxes we've all heard the rhetoric about who's gonna pay their fair share who doesn't pay
00:03:13.620
their fair share and the thing being it's like government is that's all it is gonna pay more for
00:03:21.700
gasoline more for heat and hydro more for our water and more for what we watch on
00:03:26.300
television now i can understand the fine print when it comes to protecting canadian content
00:03:33.860
the thing is there's a lot of corporations in this country that doesn't really promote a lot of
00:03:44.100
you do you make mediocre shows that are garbage you give yourselves bonuses and raises according
00:03:54.300
taxpayers federation you've laid off so many and given yourselves a nice pat in the back
00:03:58.140
at the taxpayers and tenants and ctv i do see a few shows on your channel
00:04:04.060
guessing how much you have been receiving from the federal government right and i don't see a lot of
00:04:11.040
canadian content out there per se so when i hear the likes of uh any heritage manager pascal
00:04:17.780
talking about giving artists a fair chance because netflix has to pay an extra five percent so does
00:04:24.060
spotify uh amazon you know all those streaming services that we all like those are pretty cool
00:04:28.800
right the idea is for them to pay five percent which might generate roughly two hundred million
00:04:35.120
dollars that will go to paying or creating Canadian content now there's a lot you can make
00:04:42.660
in this country with 200 million bucks when it comes to making a tv show uh like a drama
00:04:48.500
a sitcom a sci-fi epic per se maybe a period piece and i'm not talking about murdoch mysteries
00:04:57.260
i'm talking about an actual period piece right how about an epic motion picture how about an epic tv show
00:05:05.580
right the thing is i personally know some actors and writers that have some amazing talent when it
00:05:13.560
comes to writing a tv series it's a matter of getting funding it's a matter of generating the capital
00:05:18.200
too because leave it out there's some producers that want you to do all the legwork while they just
00:05:23.500
want to put their name on it and say look what i do right which is bs as far as i'm concerned um but
00:05:29.420
to make a long story short ladies and gentlemen there's a lot of talent in this country that has to be
00:05:33.260
discovered and developed by our means we don't we shouldn't have to rely on a big company to throw
00:05:39.300
in an additional five percent into the kitty now the honorable thing for netlink netflix canada to do
00:05:45.100
is promote Canadian content a lot of these big companies in every country they're in could probably
00:05:50.840
volunteer to promote each culture's content and have it accessible now there are a few spots in
00:05:58.440
netflix where you can find canadian movies where you can find canadian dramas okay but you shouldn't
00:06:04.720
have to go on a journey to find them okay and when it comes to canadian motion picture and television
00:06:11.200
you shouldn't have to go on a journey in any major city to find them either it should be right there
00:06:15.920
accessible considering the amount of money that cbc gets they should have a hand in developing good
00:06:21.480
homegrown content regardless of agenda regardless of narrative what's trendy today as you get off
00:06:28.860
your ass to make some good quality canadian television i remember as a kid some of the
00:06:33.880
great tv shows that used to be on the air you know family oriented mind you you had to like
00:06:38.860
win and schuster they're on and off here all the time the royal canadian air force wasn't actually
00:06:43.180
funny this hour has 22 minutes where it's actually funny codco second city seeing things
00:06:49.800
not to mention the abundance of children's tv shows and the other no came up
00:07:01.800
why is it hard to do no why do we push a big company to spend extra money to do for us
00:07:11.700
right so when the likes of prime minister trudeau and pm christopher freeland and pascal st
00:07:18.220
talk about oh we have to protect canadian content well how about you develop canadian content
00:07:24.320
here's an idea stay the fuck out of the way and let people create
00:07:29.580
because of certain woke isms because of certain narratives and because of certain socioeconomic
00:07:37.700
sjw's out there protesting fighting the good fight in the name of prosperity and equality
00:07:43.580
they're missing the damn point in how this country was built okay look into our history look into our
00:07:51.180
tv archives and see what kind of shows they used to put on back in the 60s 70s and 80s in this country
00:07:55.960
you had some great tv shows i would love to see a great canadian cop drama and i'm not talking
00:08:02.880
the likes of night heat which in its own right had its own content but it had to be set in new york city
00:08:09.280
to give it that american flavor to it okay why can't we set a cop show let's say in montreal
00:08:16.080
you know there was one i think was called 10 and 2 i'm not sure it started the guy from shore z
00:08:21.940
right but something a little more gritty a little more dramatic right why can't we create a tv series
00:08:29.620
or an epic motion picture about mimi ridge why can't we create a tv series or an epic motion picture
00:08:34.920
about d-day and canada's diploma and that or in the korean war how about somebody write a story
00:08:41.320
about going to vietnam now i know my theme here all of a sudden is talking about war but i think you
00:08:47.400
get my point though all right how about we talk about the first time canada got a gold medal in
00:08:53.480
hockey there's some history in canadiana there how about the first time when we talk about the the
00:09:00.200
the black league baseball during the second world war when jackie robinson played for montreal why
00:09:07.000
can't we do a series on that some of our history right individual invented kerosene why can't we do
00:09:12.780
something about that right i remember a miniseries back when i was about maybe 14 years old a little
00:09:18.820
miniseries about joseph joseph brant i think he was mohawk and he helped the british during the war of
00:09:24.340
1812 but then the british turn around and scream over royally why can't we write series about that
00:09:29.420
no we had the likes of people like pascal st paulish and the prime minister trying to defend
00:09:34.800
content by taking an extra few bucks out of the big tech guys when we all know it has nothing to do
00:09:41.640
with content it's about lining the ngo's wallets and paying off the national debt stay updated and

00:12:15.640
canada's governing body uh wants to uh regulate what we do and that's what it comes down to
00:12:21.800
it comes down to more to regulations on everything else here too so i'll just read this along uh
00:12:27.540
title is netflix disney streamers can focus as canada unveils new funding contributions
00:12:33.820
so what they see is tax you're taxing these companies netflix disney and other streaming
00:12:38.040
services were in the spotlight on tuesday after creating government
00:12:41.400
you'll do one you should talk on streaming revenue okay
00:12:46.260
and television and telecommunications commission for the crtc
00:12:49.540
said it now requires online services to contribute five percent
00:12:53.520
of their cane revenue to support the canadian broadcasting system
00:12:57.320
these taxes will start in 24 25 products here and provide an estimated
00:13:01.800
200 million crtc said in a statement quote-unquote decisions will help ensure
00:13:09.800
contributions to canadian and independent content
00:13:12.500
crtc chairperson and chief executive officer dickie
00:13:15.820
and trade is said at least crtc will continue to move
00:13:19.540
listen carefully and take action to implement the new legislation
00:13:23.600
now these guys have been around since i think the late 60s early 70s
00:13:27.540
regulating what we listen to radio and television and all that good stuff
00:13:31.940
and basically they're just another government overreach
00:13:34.280
uh netflix and disney shares were down fractionally in the late trading
00:13:38.080
uh decision as part of the online streaming act which is a joke ladies and gentlemen
00:13:42.000
which became law last year the online streaming act amended the old broadcasting act
00:13:46.340
and required that the crtx quote-unquote modernized
00:13:50.260
broadcasting framework and ensure that online streaming services make meaningful contributions
00:13:54.920
to canadian and indigenous content well how about you let canadians and indigenous canadians
00:14:00.200
make their own bloody stuff get out of the way right disney does not break down subscribers
00:14:06.100
by country but the media giant disclosed that last month it had 54 million disney plus subscribers
00:14:11.740
in the u.s and canada as the end of the fiscal second quarter okay netflix in april that it added
00:14:19.000
9.44 million global streaming subscribers in the first quarter bringing the global paid membership
00:14:25.060
to 269.6 million subscribers the streaming media giant also said it will stop sharing subscriber
00:14:31.320
figures in the first quarter of 2025 except for major subscriber milestones okay so either were
00:14:38.220
there it's just more government gouging telling us to pay our fair share that's what it is pay our fair
00:14:47.060
share you're gonna pay more you're gonna pay more and for what for what and for
00:14:52.280
for government that's what it is it's for government they don't care about you and what we want to watch
00:14:57.580
they want to regulate what we watch and they want to see fit they want to tell us what's canadian enough
00:15:04.060
you know that's what they want to tell us canadian we know what's canadian i mean you guys
00:15:11.940
some music some of my view world from other world you know i'll ask my here you want to see more
00:15:21.280
canadian content that's the thing should more canadians pay for it you're damn right more
00:15:28.300
private investors should get involved with it i think i think so for sure we should get more private
00:15:32.900
investors involved and make some great canadian kick-ass tv shows you know but in the same sense
00:15:38.060
you know what do we know you know we need the government to do it for us stay updated and follow

00:16:00.920
tax five percent and christian freeland's nonsense hi hello again everybody uh welcome back to the show
00:16:06.880
having some issues the microphone here again sorry about that no it seems like every time we turn
00:16:13.560
around there's always something moving in the distance and we just got to keep accommodating
00:16:17.900
somehow so christopher freeland in the news today on cpac and his public access channel similar to the
00:16:24.620
american uh channels there too basically gave a lot of non-answers and i'm going to play about three
00:16:29.400
minutes of it from global television here and we're going to take a look at her what she has to say
00:16:34.220
and i really really want you to listen to the questions and listen to her answers ladies and
00:16:40.040
gentlemen honestly listen to the question and then listen to the answers okay and you'll see for
00:16:46.720
yourself exactly where she's coming from and how she's doing it just like everything else you know
00:16:52.020
here's a lady that worries about getting your shoes represent the fiscal budget and she can't get her
00:16:56.680
shit together when it comes to something about our national security now bear with me here there have
00:17:03.080
been people in in our parliament know exactly who's been colluding who's been giving information to
00:17:08.100
the chinese and other parties now when she's asked about this really really concentrate on how she's
00:17:15.820
answering the question in return now let's use the side ladies and gentlemen it's just typical
00:17:22.240
freeland fashion mr speaker i don't know what to do mr speaker oh whatever let's talk about democracy
00:17:32.620
democracy thrives in sunlight and you've talked about the attacks on democracy and it's already
00:17:39.520
been talked about that canadians have lost confidence in our electoral system and and our
00:17:43.840
institutions in part because of this foreign interference debate are you not concerned that by not
00:17:49.640
releasing the names of the mps who are involved and accused of what this committee is accusing them of
00:17:55.120
that you are further undermining confidence in the system and why are we affording them that protection
00:17:59.220
um so let me just start by saying i don't think canadians have lost confidence in our democracy
00:18:08.100
are canadians concerned by foreign interference in canada by efforts to interfere in our democracy
00:18:14.580
absolutely and they should be and i am too and our government is as well the fact that we are having
00:18:24.740
this conversation the fact that a cross party committee has done this work a cross party
00:18:33.620
committee convened by the prime minister has done this work and published this work is a really important
00:18:42.020
part of strengthening our democracy and this is just one of of many steps of steps we've taken already
00:18:52.180
in terms of strengthening our rules against foreign interference and the authorities we have to fight it
00:18:58.580
and you know we are going to keep on going i do also want to emphasize um for us all this is a new
00:19:08.580
and different threat from what canada has experienced in the past uh that's why we need new it's almost like
00:19:17.940
she has to go to the bathroom just the way she's tweaking and shaking her face tools and that is why
00:19:23.700
our government is putting new tools in place but we are very very seized of this issue even as we respect
00:19:31.940
uh the rules that are in place uh when it comes to law enforcement and when it comes to confidentiality of
00:19:43.540
security information that's part of being a rule of law society too okay but if we have potentially
00:19:50.420
MPs still sitting in parliament who this committee says wittingly participated with foreign governments
00:19:56.100
to undermine our elections does that not undermine canadian confidence in our in our parliament and in
00:20:02.580
our elections i think canadians recognize how lucky we are to be canadian and how strong our democracy is
00:20:15.940
i think canadians are smart and they recognize there is a very real threat i think in the work of this
00:20:24.420
committee in the measures the new and enhanced authorities our government has put in place i think
00:20:31.540
canadians see that our government takes this threat seriously and is going to continue to act and i do want to
00:20:41.220
emphasize i see this as not a partisan issue at all i see this as an issue of the core national interest
00:20:53.140
and the core strength of canada's democracy that is how our government is going to act
00:21:09.060
those those were non-answers they were they were non-answers
00:21:14.100
she loves democracy and she loves this and we have a great sense of security and total non-answers
00:21:21.060
she knows exactly what the hell is going on but they're not going to reveal it because they want to
00:21:26.340
save face now here is the global rebuttal uh from two reporters from global news how they sidestepped
00:21:33.780
everything you know like i tell you some people's kid they some people just don't know
00:21:48.100
they know exactly what they're doing they know how they're doing it and they just don't care ladies
00:21:52.180
and gentlemen they don't they don't give a shit it's that simple but you know like i said you know
00:21:57.540
i want you guys to decide get what you want in this rebuttal
00:22:00.260
political fallout following those damning findings detailed in yesterday's ensicop report
00:22:05.620
the liberals are refusing to say which federal politicians wittingly cooperated with foreign
00:22:10.420
interference schemes that included revealing secrets to foreign states
00:22:14.820
mercedes stevenson has been digging into the explosive report mercedes
00:22:18.740
why isn't the federal government releasing their names far a day after the bombshell allegations we
00:22:24.980
still don't know who the parliamentarians are the parties they belong to which foreign countries
00:22:30.500
they were allegedly helping or whether they are members of parliament or senators the liberal
00:22:35.620
government was asked several times today to identify the parliamentarians in question
00:22:40.020
but refused to do so i have a lot of confidence in csesis and the rcmp to do the work that they're
00:22:46.100
required to do under law our government takes foreign interference very very seriously while the minister of
00:22:54.100
public safety and the deputy prime minister both mentioned the rcmp there is no information from
00:22:59.620
the government or the rcmp to indicate whether or not there are ongoing police investigations at this
00:23:05.220
time the report warned it would be very difficult to bring charges against those allegedly involved
00:23:11.220
owing to outdated laws on foreign interference in canada meanwhile conservative leader pierre polyev
00:23:17.460
did not ask a single question about the report during question period instead it was the ndp and
00:23:22.980
the bloc quebecois demanding action i believe if there's any evidence uh that someone knowingly
00:23:28.500
worked with a foreign government to influence our democracy they should no longer be a member of
00:23:32.260
parliament farah there are more questions than answers on which sitting parliamentarians may have
00:23:37.540
been acting as domestic collaborators with foreign powers and whether or not we'll know their
00:23:42.420
identities before canadians go to the polls mercedes stevenson in ottawa thank you mercedes
00:23:48.420
we turn now like really ladies and gentlemen like what did you get out of that what did you get out of
00:23:57.220
that just another dog's breakfast a word salad verbal diarrhea you name it it's there so they know and i think
00:24:04.900
the rcmp has a better understanding and especially thesis now thesis there last week in one of my episodes
00:24:11.060
it's talked about how certain parents tend to be domestic terrorists so they can gather that
00:24:16.660
intelligence and make it up and pull it out of their ass for the sake of uh for the new agenda the
00:24:21.940
new narrative i'm sure they have some inside information on who has been meddling with the mps
00:24:27.780
who's slapped and tickled here for the pickle and our tax dollars and a few extra bucks here and there for
00:24:33.220
this guy and that guy and dong now he's independent he was basically kicked out of the car
00:24:38.740
liberal caucus because of his dealings evidence is pointing to him but then again he's a tall guy
00:24:46.020
because probably a lot of liberals want to save face for this matter now i don't really care what
00:24:50.980
polyev has to say but of course the bloc are outraged and the ndp are outraged but they're getting
00:24:56.260
jackpacks on their own anyway this year alone the belle provence received 13.3 billion dollars
00:25:02.980
from equalization right and jagmeet things probably getting insider information from the metro group
00:25:10.740
because his brother is lobbying for them so when someone says oh well we worry about this worry about
00:25:17.940
that when they're paola on their own accord it's hard to believe them so who knows what polyev has up
00:25:23.700
his sleeve we've seen the dishonesty ladies gentlemen we've seen the bullshit we've seen the banter
00:25:28.820
enough is enough right last night i said right to your to your senators well yeah right to your
00:25:36.980
senators tell them enough is enough tough with this foreign meddling and enough enough with this this
00:25:43.700
whole wokeism and enough is trying to lower the voting age and enough is enough trying to reinvent
00:25:49.620
canada to satisfy a handful of people how about we care to satisfy the country lives that's him
00:25:57.140
right no we can't do that so i'll be offended right christopher fieland's been a problem since
00:26:01.860
