00:01:57.040 it but needless to say i'm in the hunt for a new microphone for this podcast ladies and gentlemen

00:02:01.300 i managed to get this thing working here took apart the cards did some maintenance on this i didn't take

00:02:18.100 title card said good for canada or great for china now mark carney is now the pm he won't get sworn in

00:02:23.540 until at least friday but there's been rumblings and rumors that he's going to be adding some more to

00:02:28.020 his cabinet his makeshift cabinet what have you anyway and mr mark mendocino is back in the scene again

00:02:34.120 as well as that freaking lawyer weirdo guy uh liametti who took over from geordie wilson raybold

00:02:41.080 oh my god now this liametti guy has been caught in public saying that nobody owns any property

00:02:47.840 and he was one of the architects of the bail reforms that we see today and yet why would mr carney who

00:02:54.340 wants canada to thrive pick him to be part of his cabinet that's what gets me ladies and gentlemen

00:03:00.800 why would he i guess the further the whole new the agenda right you know

00:03:07.100 i guess to further that agenda to make sure everything's copacetic and everyone gets along 0.91

00:03:12.900 right which is all bullshit so obviously he's not off good start and regardless if he's only going to

00:03:19.000 be in power for a few weeks or not who knows there's speculation that they will call an election 0.93

00:03:23.820 there's speculation that they won't call an election my speculation is this the sooner there's

00:03:28.920 an election the easier it's going to be now i'm going to play a little video here from brian lily

00:03:33.040 and his description on the whole carney blarney farney fiasco thing here too and i'll keep another

00:03:38.500 video from a like my individual from his facebook page there too he's going to explain uh some of

00:03:43.880 the dealings that mr carney has as we speak so i'll just queue this up here momentarily for you ladies

00:03:49.240 and gentlemen just a reminder too if you're liking here you see click like subscribe and share this

00:03:53.400 podcast all over your social media platforms do not be shy right let me know where you're watching

00:03:58.420 from all that good stuff too i don't care if you're north america i don't care if you're in

00:04:02.100 europe i anywhere in the world let me know where you're watching from please and uh we can go from

00:04:07.340 there and i'll keep the captions up for you all too so you can decide like i said this is brian

00:04:11.500 literally from sun media um and uh yeah he's got a pretty good spiel uh about the whole mark carney

00:04:19.380 thing so please pay attention the fallacy of mark carney taking over canadian politics hi i'm ryan

00:04:25.020 for the toronto sun liberals chose a new leader on the weekend they chose mark carney the former

00:04:31.960 governor of the bank of canada governor of the bank of england man behind the push for net zero

00:04:36.740 no pipelines no natural resource extraction that mark carney it's not really much of a change from

00:04:43.560 justin trudeau in his cabinet especially when you consider that most of carney's backers were

00:04:49.720 trudeau cabinet ministers and he's brought back two former trudeau cabinet ministers as his top advisor

00:04:55.200 marco mendicino will be his chief of staff david lametti trudeau's former justice minister will be

00:05:01.400 a top advisor to carney remember these were the two guys joking in text messages about how many tanks

00:05:08.440 to unleash on protesters in ottawa just days after the freedom convoy arrived these are the guys who

00:05:14.120 brought in things like the the uh gun ban that wouldn't pass parliament because it was objected to

00:05:20.520 by every group including first nations groups that brought in legislation to reduce mandatory minimum

00:05:27.160 sentences for gun smuggling and gun trafficking and brought in bail as the de facto position for

00:05:33.800 everyone so that's who carney's top advisors are the same as the old guys people with radical

00:05:39.800 positions but now carney is trying to push the narrative in the media in this country is trying

00:05:45.480 to push the narrative that he's already closed the gap that he is essentially leading pierre paulia

00:05:50.440 from the conservative simply not true look the latest poll for post media by leger the most accurate

00:05:56.280 pollster in the last several elections shows that the conservatives are 43 versus 30 for the liberals now

00:06:02.760 when you put mark carney as the leader it drinks a bit it becomes 41 for the conservatives to 33 for

00:06:10.440 the liberals that's still a significant lead that's an eight point gap that is a majority government no

00:06:16.680 matter how you slice it but leger also asked canadians questions who do you trust most on certain issues and

00:06:23.640 this is where it gets interesting let me pull up the poll and break it down for you on the question of

00:06:29.480 who would best handle the cost of living crisis and inflation 33 percent said pierre paulia 27 mark

00:06:35.800 carney in touch with the realities of today's canada 33 percent pierre paulia 22 mark carney has what it

00:06:44.200 takes to stand up to donald trump 32 percent pierre paulia 28 mark see i shake my head the whole cost of

00:06:51.160 living issue um it doesn't matter if you're liberal conservative ndp or it depends how you handle it but i don't

00:06:57.080 think any of you handle it properly you know because uh mr paulia basically doesn't have any

00:07:02.840 stance against equalization issue and he doesn't want to open the constitution which he should

00:07:07.640 assuming he's elected anyway i'll carry on carney and understands concerns of people like me

00:07:13.080 31 percent pierre paulia 18 mark carney if you look at polling aggregators like 338 canada.com

00:07:21.160 they've still got it as 39 33 for the conservatives and that is including polls by companies like ecos

00:07:28.200 which are outliers and that i dismiss outright because statements and claims made by ecos president

00:07:34.040 frank graves saying that he wants to make sure that pierre paulia never becomes prime minister

00:07:39.160 that should discount him from everyone else's the numbers and equations maybe that's why cbc's

00:07:45.960 poll tracker still has a 10 point gap you don't believe me look at cbc's poll tracker 40 to 30

00:07:53.320 conservatives leading by 10. the idea that mark carney and the liberals are suddenly the runaway

00:07:59.640 favorites for the next election is nothing but a media narrative by a national press gallery

00:08:05.000 that is obsessed with mark carney and who hates pierre paulia as much as most canadians hate justin

00:08:11.880 trudeau so canadians are willing to move on they're looking to move on sure some were parking

00:08:17.880 the code with pierre paulia that's why the gap has closed somewhat but it's not as if there is

00:08:22.920 suddenly a rush of love for the liberals again let me point out once again all the same people that

00:08:29.000 were around trudeau are now behind carney all the same policies are there other than they'll scrap

00:08:34.360 the consumer carbon tax and increase the tax carbon tax on things like steel mills which will mean

00:08:41.400 lost jobs especially when coupled with donald trump's tariffs this is a a bad media narrative

00:08:47.560 one designed to bring about a certain result to try and encourage more people to say they'll leave the

00:08:53.800 conservatives and back the trudeau carney liberals for a fourth term is that what most canadians want

00:09:00.520 i don't think so let me know what you think drop a comment down below share this

00:09:04.600 on social media and don't forget to subscribe to our channel yeah that would suck if they had

00:09:10.840 to come back up a fourth term now that would be a really weird election let's say the election is

00:09:14.360 called okay and then everything goes hunky-dory as in any federal election should i know i've been part of

00:09:19.400 one and all of a sudden they win then i would have to tell you that the system's rigged or there's too

00:09:26.440 many people out there that think okay you know he's going to be better than trudeau because he's 0.76

00:09:30.440 a little more richer and a little more smarter a little more refined but he's just as corrupt 1.00

00:10:22.280 country has gone through the past few months you know it's it's just been a real shit show after 0.99

00:10:26.760 shit show after shit show parliament was promote uh prorogued the big words crusty prorogued because 0.99

00:10:34.280 the prime minister couldn't face the fact that he screwed up his ego wouldn't allow it right and now 0.99

00:10:39.960 they're encouraging this terror for now today i saw how doug ford doubled back on his threat of

00:10:45.960 cutting electricity now regardless of how you feel about the whole trump issue or what's going on like

00:10:52.840 can we not focus on canada can we not focus what's going on right here okay there's some 0.97

00:10:59.400 of you out there that might blame the whole thing on donald j trump yeah he's kind of a goof kind of a 0.99

00:11:03.640 bully okay but in a way he incentivized people to actually get off their ass and lead to the best of 0.99

00:11:10.920 their knowledge now i've seen better leadership from toddlers than i've seen from the liberal party 0.99

00:11:15.400 i don't care who they voted in that's a whole different conspiracy and shit show to begin with too 0.91

00:11:19.960 all these registered voters for the liberal party and only 159 000 were counted interesting right so 0.96

00:11:28.280 think about that and now everybody's making a big deal because he's such an economist and such a great

00:11:33.400 guy he's lived in new york for most of his uh professional life he also carries a canadian passport

00:11:39.400 american passport and an irish passport so where's your loyalties lie there mark

00:11:45.480 they lie with candor or your investments elsewhere it's been proven that he has invested time and

00:11:53.160 effort and money in pipelines in south america in the middle east he doesn't want to do it in canada

00:12:01.640 right he's in goods with david eby bc's premier they don't want lng now but they want to put a stop to

00:12:08.200 these tariffs so if you want to put a stop to this and put a stop to that don't you have to have

00:12:12.760 money to back it up right pal what better way to make the money than revenue from uh oil interesting

00:12:20.440 right now people are keep praising mr carney saying oh he's going to get rid of the consumer carbon tax

00:12:25.560 well we're still going to be paying for it one or the other because come april 1st carbon tax is going

00:12:29.960 up and mp pay raises oh my slap and tickle for your pickle right so what's that tell you so regards

00:12:39.480 to the smoke and mirrors and what's going on here okay it's obviously mr carney has some loyalties to 0.98

00:12:46.040 other places other people right other places other people and he just doesn't give a shit about you and 0.95

00:12:52.040 i anyway here's a video from a liam out loud he's on a podcast called blender he shares it with another 0.84

00:12:59.240 guy i have watched a few times blender news and he's got a quite little nice little quip here

00:13:05.720 about uh mr mr mr carney's dealings right and i'll just cue this up for you ladies and gentlemen

00:13:13.480 and as always you decide use your best judgment you know uh he says it's quite the interesting take on

00:13:20.360 it you know you get a chance to watch blender please watch blender news they've got some uh some great

00:13:25.960 great great topics they go on to with and uh you know they don't mess around carney these policies

00:13:32.440 ranging from pandemic control to climate mandates and mass migration are designed to erode national

00:13:38.280 sovereignty in favor of centralized global technocratic rules chatham house claims that quote

00:13:44.680 covet 19 exposed serious gaps in how the world anticipates and manages health crises reinforcing

00:13:51.080 chatham house's call for stronger international cooperation translation the world didn't lock down

00:13:57.080 hard enough mask fast enough or vaccinate enough people a report even states quote crises and shocks

00:14:03.880 including disease outbreaks financial crises and conflicts can create windows of opportunity to

00:14:09.960 trigger universal health reforms when institutions see crises as tools for expanding control they create an

00:14:17.400 incentive to manufacture them the institute is also at the forefront of climate authoritarianism calling

00:14:23.880 for financial systems to be aligned with net zero goals it advocates for the carbon border adjustment

00:14:29.640 mechanism or cbam a global carbon tariff regime that punishes countries with lower climate regulations

00:14:37.560 this is the same political class that called trump's tariffs unjustified economic warfare yet they push

00:14:43.800 global carbon tariffs with a straight face chatham house also aggressively promotes mass migration

00:14:50.280 urging nations to balance security concerns with their obligations to protect refugees in practice this

00:14:57.080 means overriding national sovereignty in favor of mass resettlement policies dictated by international bodies

00:15:04.280 despite its western branding chatham house is deeply tied to chinese entities including the embassy of the

00:15:10.920 people's republic of china china china international capital corporation and other state-backed firms

00:15:17.320 more revealing is its collaboration with the development research center or drc of china's state council

00:15:24.440 a direct policy link to beijing this partnership established during xi jinping's 2015 uk state visit

00:15:31.960 facilitated chinese engagement with western elites on governance strategies china's 2050 plan aims to replace

00:15:39.320 the united states as the dominant global power mark carney through organizations like chatham house and

00:15:45.080 canadian politics appears to be carrying china's baton ensuring decades of political subversion continues 0.96

00:15:52.280 under the liberal party the question remains who exactly does mark carney serve mark carney is being

00:15:59.320 installed exactly who does he serve ladies and gentlemen who does he serve you justin serve right

00:16:05.880 you know you you can toss the whole puppetry thing out there you can toss the whole uh he works for this

00:16:11.000 company or that company big pharma big oil we've all heard of a big oil to this big pharma that

00:16:18.760 we're we're at we're at a standstill right now how things are going okay look at all the money that

00:16:25.320 was spent on this liberal campaign how much how much of this money could have been spent on helping

00:16:33.640 by helping those people that are living in their cars or people that are waiting in the food banks

00:16:39.560 or people that are looking for work okay now ruby dala apparently she's uh taking the liberal party to 1.00

00:16:45.720 court to get back the money that she raised to legally run as a leader of the liberal party you know to be the uh

00:16:54.200 you know the inserted pm whatever you want to call it the king or the queen of the liberal party

00:17:01.240 now rightfully so she had some pretty decent ideas i'm just not really impressed the liberal brand right

00:17:06.520 now because it's been tarnished uh since the better part of 2010 as far as i'm concerned actually no i take

00:17:11.560 that back the liberal brand i grew up with is nothing like the liberal brand i saw in the 90s

00:17:17.240 okay so i will say i have not seen the liberal government perform very well

00:17:22.680 since the better part of 1993 now somebody might challenge me on that somebody whatever

00:17:27.960 because i remember how the military was treated and yes i know i keep referring to the military

00:17:32.280 because i spent 20 years in the army and i was instructed by guys who went through absolute

00:17:36.920 hell in that decade of darkness okay and they heard every excuse from tom dick and harry

00:17:44.920 about expenditures about procurements and about upgrades and about how we look in the world and how 0.85

00:17:50.520 we're peacekeepers we're not soldiers you know that kind of thing and yet you got to be a soldier to 0.96

00:17:54.760 be a peacekeeper because you got to make the fucking peace you know what i mean right i can go on for 0.93

00:18:00.680 hours about this i i've talked to numerous people who have spent time from 1990 to 95 doing this and from 0.99

00:18:07.000 1995 to 2005 doing that and back and forth back and forth paperwork and bullshit bureaucracy that's the 0.96

00:18:14.440 problem too much goddamn bureaucracy right but you know what the hell do we know no but uh it's it's 0.96

00:18:22.680 we're seeing a shift here but not a shift for the good a shift for the bad or the stagnant because as 0.98

00:18:28.760 far as i'm concerned mr carney is nothing but justin trudeau 2.0 right and between now and when they get

00:18:36.200 back to work finally to earn their pay that's if they really want to work for it you know you still see

00:18:42.440 him with an entourage with people shaking their heads in the background oh yes mark yes master i'm 0.99

00:20:26.440 podcast even much more fun and exciting because i get people from all over the world listening what i

00:20:31.080 have to say oh thank you thank you very much but anyway i carry on regardless of how you feel about

00:20:37.800 the canadian identity i always thought of canada as the identity as britain's friend and america's cousin

00:20:47.720 you know what i mean a good everything else a good friend to um well we had a little blurb there

00:20:57.880 ladies and gentlemen a good friend to the world but when you look at our security and you look at how

00:21:03.720 things are working in this country we're not seeing that pride we're seeing the notional pride because

00:21:10.760 everyone's raving a flag now because of what trump's comments were okay when you think about annexation think of

00:21:16.680 this okay it has to be done by vote or by economic annihilation

00:21:25.080 or it has to be done by force now i'm sure the americans have the spending power and the buying

00:21:31.240 power and the manpower to out business outbid yes but we could outbid and out business too if we had

00:21:39.080 the cojones and the leadership to cut the red tape as pierre pauliev would say and get rid of the

00:21:45.560 the bureaucracies and the gatekeepers that hold things back we've had enough gatekeepers when it 0.88

00:21:50.600 comes to the pipelines yves blanchette is still rambling and ranting saying oh alberta oil is at

00:21:56.200 dodea i tried dodea yet a lot of people in quebec don't mind dumping raw sewage into saint lawrence

00:22:03.000 and they don't mind buying saudi oil or nigerian oil or venezuelan oil okay which is refined cheaply

00:22:11.160 and put together cheaply and nine times out of ten my slave labor so when it comes to ethics and what's

00:22:19.800 dirty kind of reword that there mr blanchette you know hello pot this is kettle over right and what

00:22:26.920 gets me sometimes with the with the disagreement of the pipeline quebec is they constantly say well

00:22:33.000 the world doesn't need this the world doesn't need that well if the world doesn't need canadian product

00:22:37.160 why do you need 13.6 billion dollars that's my that's my two cents not to and i'm sure there

00:22:45.080 might be some quebecers that weigh into that and you're welcome to i'm not disenfranchising the quebec

00:22:49.320 people i will disenfranchise the piss poor leadership that wants the money but doesn't want the work and 0.54

00:22:57.000 doesn't embrace the work that it takes to get the money you know i mean because i've had some good 0.56

00:23:02.760 conversations with some patch workers and a lot of people that work in the oil industry and it's a

00:23:08.280 dangerous job and i've also had the honor of meeting some quebecers that work in the oil fields and they 0.94

00:23:14.520 love the jobs and they love the work and they love the challenge and love the qualifications they've been

00:23:18.120 getting too so when you sit there and say one market doesn't need something yet you want the money

00:23:25.240 you're standing there in front of me with your fingers crossed behind your back and you're doing

00:23:28.920 it in front of the rest of the country too so when you look at all the mark carnies out there

00:23:33.400 and all the melanie jolis to try to talk a good game they couldn't lace up if you played them if you 1.00

00:23:39.240 paid him enough money you know in regards of what mark carnies hockey experience is he doesn't really 0.99

00:23:45.560 understand teamwork that much right as he's putting together his own little entourage of fools buffoons 1.00

00:23:52.120 and idiots and uh like brian literally said the tweet that mr lameni and mr mendicino had back and 1.00

00:23:59.160 forth during the convoy they wanted to put tanks in the streets so what does that tell you about how 1.00

00:24:29.640 and you're back ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the episode 350 of crusty podcast good for canada

00:24:35.000 or great for china who knows exactly what's going to be going on behind the woodworks and you and i all 0.99

00:24:40.200 know okay there's always some back door deals some back door scratches some back door you know back

00:24:45.800 door back door back door endeavors that's politics right it was up there with real estate and the drug

00:24:52.280 trade okay it's been proven too that a lot of the narcotics that have come to canada that reminds it

00:24:59.000 sounds like you know uh barbasol you know it rhymes with barbasol that's that's the best word i can think

00:25:05.640 uh that come up that rhymes with that magic f word okay there's been hands in in that from apparently

00:25:13.000 from chinese trads and members of the chinese government the ccp not the chinese people

00:25:21.000 but you're seeing the contrast here you're seeing the give and take here why is this such a big problem

00:25:26.440 why can't we figure this out because there's a lot of back scratching going on

00:25:30.520 i wonder what david eby has to say about the whole issue when it comes to what's his take on the whole

00:25:40.760 barbasol thing i wonder how many wheels and deals he's got because when he was elected

00:25:44.920 as bc's dreamier again he gave everybody a raise right and bc is hurting the most when it comes to

00:25:51.240 the homeless and the affected the addicted right and people lining up in food banks but he managed to

00:25:58.520 find funds to give everyone a raise too so basically put up and shut up right and like i said earlier

00:26:03.480 april first you know more carbon tax for us and more np pay raises so there's money out there ladies 1.00

00:26:09.240 and gentlemen it's just where they want to spend it they don't want to spend it on you and i they

00:26:12.920 don't want to spend it on proper programs that keep people happy and healthy you know they'd rather

00:26:17.560 give it to uh this safe supply here they'd rather give it to other nations that they worry about

00:26:22.920 their transgender issues and worry about their intersectional issues and their intersectional

00:26:27.640 this and the woke isms woke isms woke isms woke isms rather than looking after the people at home

00:26:33.400 so like i said earlier in the episode why can't we focus on canada why can't we what's wrong with that

00:26:40.360 right why can't we focus on that well it's passe i guess it's only trendy to be a patriot if you go along

00:26:49.480 with uh you know the status quo but you can't be a patriot if you fight for this country now a good

00:26:55.320 friend of mine and a fellow podcaster frank vaughn he does some great videos ladies and gentlemen we

00:27:00.840 may disagree on certain political opinions but he's a upstanding realistic good man and he's a family

00:27:07.960 man and i watched his show today and i was just really impressed with just a passion he has and he

00:27:14.680 talks about how certain generations fought under the red ensign and it was a different canada up until

00:27:21.080 1965 and after 65 you can see the kind of transition from the pearson ish to pierre trudeau ish and some

00:27:31.560 of my boomer crowd out there i'm sure you'd understand what i'm getting at here how this new mosaic of

00:27:37.560 canada came about now i'm all for multiculturalism to a point where if i walk into a store if i require

00:27:43.880 a service um you know you have a choice either english or french you know there's times i was in

00:27:51.160 france and i did my best to speak parisian french because there is a different dialect to parisian

00:27:55.240 french to quebec francais there is so you try to make it sound a little more fluid and sometimes they

00:28:02.360 giggle at you and it's no it's okay man i speak english okay thank you you know just make it easier

00:28:07.320 but when you go to a foreign country and you try to speak their language sometimes they get really

00:28:13.640 really flattered by that and that's a good thing because you're trying to communicate

00:28:18.520 you know and sometimes they come other way to accommodate you and that's just being polite

00:28:23.000 other times they don't but i'm not going to disenfranchise a few individuals i've met through my

00:28:27.640 my travels who have done that but we live in a country that is based both on english and french

00:28:34.120 and share both histories okay and when you look at the colonial model there were two colonials

00:28:41.240 two colonies the french and the english colonies both supported by the french monarchies at the time

00:28:49.240 and if you want to get technical the first europeans that come to north america were the vikings

00:28:53.880 well before christopher columbus came around so there was an idea of the new world it was already

00:29:00.280 in the minds of some europeans just some didn't want to come back some wanted to stay and some didn't

00:29:07.160 but when you look how this country was created it wasn't built on bloodshed

00:29:12.440 it wasn't built on slavery or colonialism it was bait on dividing and conquer it was built on that

00:29:19.240 because that's what empires did back in the day and if you want to use today's psychology to justify

00:29:26.280 your grievance because what happened two or three hundred years ago then you're just more lost than

00:29:32.440 those explorers so when i look at canada i look at it as my home and native land it is on native land

00:29:41.720 sure but home and native land because i'm here with everybody i don't buy the land acknowledgement

00:29:48.840 thing because i'm not trying to be rude but i represent canada you represent canada my canadian

00:29:55.080 audience you represent canada well i'm not going to say uh canada and this i'm not going to say canada

00:30:01.880 and that i'm going to say canada and all people therein and to my canadian audience so should you

00:30:07.640 that's just my take on it too anyhow i have been crusty canuck on this beautiful 12th of march
