00:02:14.500
issues on the machine again i don't know what it was maybe because it was a rain or some static
00:02:18.680

00:02:24.680
equipment and to the fine people at stream yard and see what's going on i did a test earlier
00:02:30.660
everything seems to be fine everything's to be plugged in the right places i took an air canister
00:02:36.500
to it blew some things out wipe this clean that blah blah blah blah blah and make a long story
00:02:41.320
short let's hope the audio on this is satisfactory to your listening pleasure anyway as the title card
00:02:46.860
said a gag order on the carbon tax so uh alex giro the pbo uh financial officer uh was basically told
00:02:54.180
not to speak his mind now i do have an article here in the works i will put in my description uh for
00:03:00.080
ladies and gentlemen but when somebody who works for the parliamentary budget office okay i i think
00:03:07.580
you should have more personnel there working on making sure there's the finances and there's money
00:03:12.080
there and everything else too to make sure that there's money to keep this country going however
00:03:16.700
our federal government of course in his wisdom does not want to share the information on what the
00:03:22.520
pbo has really found he more or less said that it's not beneficial to canadians it's robbing canadians
00:03:28.220
blind okay because we've all seen that video with mr mark harland jumping down parliament saying
00:03:33.300
oh my god if you take these kids in a road trip the planet's burning how dare you be inconsiderate
00:03:38.020
we've all seen the footage i'm not going to put it up again but you know you just how these liberals
00:03:42.340
react and they think this carbon tax is beneficial because they all keep saying eight out of ten people
00:03:47.680
are getting a morning back for for for paying and for for climate change and yet there's two million
00:03:53.700
people going to food banks ladies and gentlemen so i don't know where he gets this eight out of ten
00:03:59.280
people eight out of ten canadians are doing better off how the hell are we doing better off when
00:04:03.120
things are more expensive it's it's bloody obvious anyhow i'm going to queue up a video here from
00:04:08.900
lorne gunter who basically gives his insight in regards to the abcds of carbon tax and just the
00:04:16.780
buffoonery that has been bestowed on us in regards to that issue so i'll queue up for that shortly but
00:04:23.780
as i ramble on here about our carbon taxes no taxes is really good now we all hear the adage about death
00:04:30.980
and taxes death and taxes those are the only two things that are certain in our lives yet when you're
00:04:35.940
paying anywhere from 42 to 46 in some cases 51 percent of your income to taxes something's not right
00:04:46.120
something isn't right now i've had people say well crusty you get a pension that's taxes well yeah i've
00:04:55.280
earned that the the canada pension plan is taxes that goes into that to help people that worked 40 50
00:05:04.300
years of their lives so they got something to live off of right but even that's tax too so when you look
00:05:12.400
at everything that has come in in the name of taxation we'll say the past 34 years gst coming
00:05:17.280
around 1990 because brian marooney and his cronies spent a lot of money so they put good and services
00:05:22.480
on everything and then they up the ante on tobacco and liquor and find things that people like to enjoy
00:05:27.840
after a hard week's work okay and now we all know the the con with the federal government telling us
00:05:35.020
the carbon taxes are good because we're fighting climate change well what have we seen
00:05:39.440
in the name of fighting climate change right have we seen ocean turbines that can generate hydroelectricity
00:05:47.380
for coastal towns and cities have we seen any kind of turbine in the great lakes that can generate
00:05:52.640
electricity there's enough current the great lakes that could do it believe it or not regardless of
00:05:57.920
what kind of fishing rights are there or not right how many innovations have we seen we saw this past
00:06:04.520
winter okay especially in alberta how there was eight percent of the grid that was relied on wind and solar
00:06:13.180
how did that wind fare how did that solar fare we had brownouts and blackouts because of it way to go
00:06:20.340
motley notley you dizzy cow now mr nenshi wants to do the same thing so how did that fare for the average
00:06:27.340
canadian now i just paid last month's bill for my heat and hydro my electricity and my gas it was close
00:06:36.200
to 400 bucks ladies and gentlemen and we did need a lot of gas and we didn't need a lot of heat
00:06:41.500
need electricity of course but then when you actually look at the carbon price it was about 85 bucks
00:06:48.360
right so it's costing canadians so how can the federal government say i'm getting more back
00:06:55.280
when we're paying more out and people forget that the carbon tax is not just for gasoline
00:07:00.880
it's for diesel it's for turning your lights on for using these fine machines right because we're
00:07:07.540
such terrible polluters anyway i'll leave a link from alex geroux there too there's a soundbite from
00:07:15.180
twitter where he basically says in committee that is not beneficial it is not good for the canadian
00:07:20.480
worker it is not good for anybody right and of course the federal government's claiming that the
00:07:25.100
carbon tax is beneficial how is any tax beneficial unless we're getting ready for world war three
00:07:30.960
interesting you decide ladies and gentlemen it is just just another shit show
00:07:40.480
stay updated and follow crusty canuck on facebook twitter gap telegram youtube and podbean
00:07:55.100
and you're back ladies and gentlemen episode 289 of the crusty canuck podcast carbon gag tax and
00:08:01.860
no names released that's right federal government refuses to release names of individuals that had
00:08:07.400
might have colluded or might have accepted or got some kind of payola or some kind of kickback or a
00:08:14.320
slap and tickle from foreign influence now ironically enough the cbc actually did a pretty decent story
00:08:20.160
on that today and i will actually play this for you too but i'll get back to lord gunter's uh
00:08:25.600
loren gunter's report on the carbon tax issue and ladies and gentlemen you decide on it like i always
00:08:32.240
encourage you to you get you guys decide you're not idiots you're not morons and i'm personally getting
00:08:37.200
sick and tired of all these elected officials that keep calling us idiots and morons or the way they
00:08:41.760
speak to us like miss freeland right so here's something from loren gunter he did today for the
00:08:47.840
toronto sun and uh you guys decide on your own and formulate your own decisions as we should
00:08:55.940
all righty let's queue it up here we go are they hiding parliamentary budget officer yves gero says that
00:09:04.580
the federal government has an internal study that shows the carbon tax costs canadians more than they
00:09:12.220
get back in rebates now almost every canadian already thinks that but the government has insisted
00:09:19.880
including as recently as this week that eight out of ten canadians get more in rebates from the
00:09:27.820
federal government than they pay in carbon tax on their fuel that's ridiculous because the effects of
00:09:38.020
the carbon tax go way beyond putting gas into your tank or paying a carbon tax charge on the natural gas
00:09:47.180
that heats your home the carbon tax affects everything we buy that has to move to where we buy it
00:09:56.060
take for example your groceries it affects the truck that brings the groceries to the store
00:10:04.340
but it goes way back beyond that let's take meat for example it affects the cattle
00:10:11.460
since the implementation of the carbon tax we've seen prices go up okay so the emissions have risen
00:10:19.880
because more people are getting mobile more people are moving around so you're going to have carbon
00:10:23.760
it's not that hard to figure out federal government that have to be moved to the slaughterhouse before
00:10:29.200
they are moved as meat to the grocery store it affects the barley or whatever else is being fed the corn
00:10:35.820
that's being fed to the cattle before they are fattened up enough to move to the slaughterhouse
00:10:41.960
it affects all of the inputs for everything that we buy and oh yes you vegans who think we should all
00:10:49.440
stop eating meat to save the planet because the the the the cattle's methane emissions are ruining
00:10:55.680
the climate yes even your rutabaga costs money because of the carbon tax the the added inflation
00:11:05.760
as a result of the carbon tax i would peg at about one third because everything that goes to a manufacturer
00:11:14.640
that goes to a service company everything that moves on a truck or in a train pays a carbon tax
00:11:24.240
and so do i have any figures for that no but the government says that the carbon tax saves one third
00:11:30.080
of the emissions and they have no numbers or figures for that either not even this secretive report
00:11:35.120
that yves giro says he he has seen but he's not allowed to reveal to you
00:11:41.520
they don't even have emissions numbers in that report they cannot tell you and they admit
00:11:48.400
the federal environment minister and his ministry admit they don't even track how many emissions are
00:11:56.640
being saved by the carbon tax so they're adding all of this cost to canadians they're putting this
00:12:02.080
big weight this big drag on the canadian economy and they can't even tell you whether it's affecting
00:12:11.440
it is utterly useless and unforgivable that they will not show canadians their internal analysis
00:12:19.760
of the economic impact of the carbon tax but they know that as soon as they do
00:12:23.520
any political any political any political advantage that they get from the carbon tax will evaporate
00:12:32.560
because maybe there are people out there who still believe that they get more in the rebate
00:12:38.320
every quarter from the federal government than they pay in carbon tax i checked ours out we pay more
00:12:46.160
in carbon tax on the natural gas that heats our home in january and february than we get in our quarterly
00:12:55.200
rebate that's how the carbon tax works and when more and more canadians understand a it's inflationary b
00:13:05.760
it's a drag on the economy c they are not getting as much in rebates as they're paying in carbon tax
00:13:12.880
and d the government can't even tell you whether the carbon tax is having a positive effect on emissions
00:13:22.720
when those four are clear and they would be clear if the federal government would release this secret
00:13:27.920
report when that becomes clear any pretense the liberals have that the carbon tax is worthwhile
00:13:37.840
evaporate and for a party that's already on its way down that's one more blow they can't withstand
00:13:47.280
that's why they're keeping it secret for post media i'm lorne gunter
00:13:56.320
yeah that was lorne gunter from post media or sun media and he makes a valid point where how have the
00:14:01.600
emissions gone down well what's what's there for us ladies and gentlemen what's what's there
00:14:07.520
there's more taxes more debt more bs i mean more chaos right more frustration and yet the government
00:14:16.160
keeps buttering us a poop sandwich saying it's good for you please take a bite yeah well i got
00:14:21.360
something they can take a bite of stay updated and follow crusty canuck on facebook twitter gap

and you're back ladies and gentlemen to carbon gag tax and my apologies i didn't mean alex giro is
00:14:42.800
yves giro pardon my francais anyhow he was basically told to keep his mouth shut or he they won't put
00:14:50.400
out his uh words of wisdom or his reports typical right federal government has done so many nasty things
00:14:56.960
in keeping things quiet keeping us in the dark so much for transparency and sunny ways right
00:15:02.720
anyhow make a long story short it's bullshit it was bullshit when they promoted it it's
00:15:08.640
bullshit when they sat there and stomped their feet in parliament and it's bullshit now when it
00:15:12.320
comes to our wallets and our day-to-day lives hey liberals leave us alone hey and conservatives if you
00:15:20.800
get in leave us alone that simple anyway carrying on with this episode of 289 no names released yeah the
00:15:29.520
second part of this show that's right so the federal government refuses to release names because
00:15:33.680
cesus and the rcmp have written reports in regards to the federal interference the past
00:15:39.280
couple years now that's been a lot of people's minds the interference with our elections interference
00:15:43.200
with uh decision making now ironically enough the cbc did a pretty good story i watched this earlier
00:15:49.440
today and i'm going to play this for you and i want you all to listen to it carefully and i'm
00:15:54.560
really surprised the cbc actually went this far you know to basically bite the hand that feeds them
00:16:00.080
basically to shit where they eat kind of thing but you my wonderful audience i want you to decide
00:16:04.400
especially my americans and my british audience too please listen carefully and observe willingly
00:16:09.520
of course there's miss freeland there with her infinite wisdom and her fancy god-awful sneakers
00:16:14.240
what the hell is she doing to her hair is she tweaking again i don't know we'll have to see
00:16:17.040
but uh ladies and gentlemen you guys decide on this issue i just it's amazing how they do not talk
00:16:25.680
about the names of certain mps and i bet you they're probably pretty close and ironically enough
00:16:31.760
they have also mentioned some senators might be involved in this too right so like i said last night
00:16:39.200
some of these senators are appointed they're not they're not well they're all the point they're not
00:16:42.560
elected so it gives you some really really good insight what you decide needs to be law enforcement
00:16:55.680
canada's deputy prime minister saying that it's up to police agencies to decide whether
00:16:59.520
nbs broke the law it comes after a parliamentary committee found that some parliamentarians
00:17:04.560
wittingly aided foreign state actors such as india and china and their names haven't been made public
00:17:10.640
by the committee but legislators say that there may be police investigations and details eventually
00:17:16.000
released as part of that process joining us now is kenny chu he's a former conservative mp who lost his
00:17:22.320
seat in the last election just earlier this year the public inquiry found he may have lost it because
00:17:27.520
of chinese interference he joins us now from richmond bc kenny good to talk to you tonight thank you for
00:17:33.680
the privilege so this report finds that some parliamentarians uh they use the word wittingly
00:17:40.960
helped foreign governments like china and india deputy prime minister uh christian freeland we heard her
00:17:46.160
say liberals will deal with these allegations internally but do you think that canadians should know who
00:17:52.640
these parliamentarians are i do i do because uh without that these are supposed to be representative of
00:18:01.680
our citizens our communities and we need to know what uh what is the background what incentivize them
00:18:08.640
in the aiding and abetting with uh these uh foreign workers foreign countries and without that it is very
00:18:16.720
difficult for uh democracy to function uh in an informed way and uh because of that i i think the government
00:18:25.200
has an obligation has an obligation to disclose and let the canadian knows um who they are and why under what
00:18:32.880
circumstances kenny do you think you know who they are i i had my own suspicion uh throughout the
00:18:41.600
years of observation as just an ordinary canadians i have helped many uh politicians and i i have
00:18:51.440
observed how certain um regimes certain countries how they conduct their influence and how they get
00:18:59.040
close and network with and then later on uh make use of their relations and uh you know change the minds
00:19:07.040
and through uh these political leaders uh perhaps also in turn change the heart and minds of um diaspora communities
00:19:16.720
and also other canadians so you've got your suspicions uh you're not naming names because there are suspicions
00:19:22.800
yeah but do you think it's um an issue that's more a problem for one particular party or is this across the board
00:19:30.960
i think there are certain political parties that are more susceptible to these uh interference
00:19:37.520
um although none of the parties are um completely removed and um inoculated from from these uh interference
00:19:49.600
because in the end i'll use the chinese communist party as an example uh what they what they want is to get
00:19:58.160
close to the the heart and the center of power so the closer a party is to power uh the more likely
00:20:07.120
they will try to infiltrate and try to get close and therefore influence the power and uh so if you
00:20:14.320
are you know six or fifth uh ranking in the number of seats in house of commons perhaps you are probably
00:20:22.320
more safe but if you are first second or third then uh you will likely get uh you know get close and
00:20:29.840
attempts to influence you um these allegations come after reports that you may have lost your seat in the
00:20:36.400
2021 election as a result of chinese interference uh do you think these new allegations against
00:20:41.520
parliamentarians may have had something to do with your loss that year and how do you feel about that
00:20:47.440
well i've been i've been telling anybody everybody who's willing to listen that this is not about
00:20:52.480
kenny chu this is about canada the democracy the democracy the foundation of our of our society
00:20:59.200
um and that only nc cop's report only tells us that unfortunately even judge hoag has not been given
00:21:07.920
sufficient mandate or time to look into how deep and how why foreign interference has been in canada
00:21:16.800
the nc cop had only solicited internal government agencies to conduct their their hearing and all the
00:21:24.640
witnesses listed in the reports are basically mps or ministers or or government agencies um unfortunately
00:21:33.840
that part of the foreign interference was not covered by the uh judge hoag's um you know foreign
00:21:41.360
interference inquiry and i believe it was by design uh it was you know trying to do a quick um you know
00:21:49.760
sweep that under the carpet kind of cover and and it's unfortunate because there there are so many
00:21:56.240
tentacles that uh these foreign countries i'm not just pointing fingers at uh the chinese communist
00:22:02.720
party but there are other uh that are trying to influence us as a multicultural society in the world
00:22:10.720
kenny sure i take your point this is not just about kenny chu though you may have been directly
00:22:16.240
affected by it and as somebody who's an outsider not part of this um hearing this the idea that a
00:22:21.760
sitting parliamentarian would willingly be active in this way i mean it sounds like something you'd see
00:22:27.760
in a movie so it may not be about you kenny chu but what would like you kenny chu like to have
00:22:36.560
i i think we need to hold our elected officials to account uh perhaps not only just elected officials
00:22:46.720
because senators are not elected uh there but their conducts also um have to be have to be held
00:22:54.160
accountable for example why would uh senators uh couple of the senators been continue to spread
00:23:01.840
disinformation about uh the foreign uh influence registry uh either proposed by um the the current
00:23:10.240
liberal government or the ones that i i propose as anti-chinese the the the version that i propose in 2021
00:23:20.000
did not even mention the word china or chinese in there um but yet they continue to tell the diaspora
00:23:27.520
community that uh people like myself or other other um uh you know other parties are are picking on
00:23:37.840
certain uh diaspora community um you know that's that's just trying to fan the flame and also for
00:23:46.560
matching um hates and uh unfortunately their their attempts are actually making use of um these diaspora
00:23:56.000
communities why are they doing that the incentives that's what i would like to hear that's what i would
00:24:02.080
like to uh give these uh public officials a chance to explain themselves kenny chu former conservative mp
00:24:17.760
and that was uh kenny chu uh former conservative mp um i remember a couple years ago him speaking out
00:24:25.680
about uh about uh the apparent interference now hand dong out of don mills uh he was actually kicked
00:24:33.760
out of the liberal caucus but he still sits as an independent so who knows and rebel media did a
00:24:39.760
couple of great stories in regards to certain chinese police stations in the greater toronto area
00:24:47.760
so what's that tell you ladies and gentlemen now if there's a few mps that knew what was going on and
00:24:52.080
have had a slap and tickle for the pickle and simpaola and a couple of senators it puts things
00:24:57.680
in perspective now doesn't it because we've all heard prime minister trudeau love china's basic
00:25:03.840

i've been crusty canuck on this beautiful fifth of june 2024 i will have an episode this friday
00:26:46.960
so hang on to your shorts for that too uh work days are going to make shorter because cattle are going
00:26:51.680
to market so they're trying to find things for me to do uh however i'll keep busy keep rocking and
00:26:56.800
rolling if i get extra time i will make another podcast too you wonderful people out there but
00:27:02.320
it gives you something to think about how this government is really treating our tax dollars
00:27:06.320
what they're willing to do to garnish or to gain any kind of treadway for their favor and how they're
00:27:12.480
really treating us so i would highly suggest that you write your senators and write your mp
00:27:19.440
you know um i i've said before numerous times ladies and gentlemen i think there's something in the
00:27:25.280
works and it doesn't look doesn't look promising i'm not going to try to be a donny downer here and
00:27:32.720
try to arrange your parades but i think something bad is going to happen and we're going to be stuck
00:27:38.000
in the middle with it we'll have to sort it out that's just my best guess that's my hypothesis
00:27:43.840
over the whole situation and you know i'm actually impressed with cbc actually doing a decent story for once
00:27:51.200
right but people are catching on to cbc's bs too with their executives and their bureaucrats and
00:27:57.120
edmunds alike laying people off and giving themselves little tickles here and there
00:28:01.360
and then even the canadian taxpayer which is going to stop abruptly i think
00:28:06.160
but anyhow ladies and gentlemen i am in crusty connect on this beautiful 5th of june 2024 weather
00:28:11.680
