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
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
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

00:03:38.500

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

00:03:58.420

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
00:09:30.440
a little more richer and a little more smarter a little more refined but he's just as corrupt
00:09:34.760

00:10:16.360
uh the brian lily uh story in the description too uh but it just when you look at the situation this
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
00:10:26.760
shit show after shit show parliament was promote uh prorogued the big words crusty prorogued because
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
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
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
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
00:11:10.920
their knowledge now i've seen better leadership from toddlers than i've seen from the liberal party
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
00:11:19.960
all these registered voters for the liberal party and only 159 000 were counted interesting right so
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
00:12:46.040
other places other people right other places other people and he just doesn't give a shit about you and
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:18:07.000
1995 to 2005 doing that and back and forth back and forth paperwork and bullshit bureaucracy that's the
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
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
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
00:18:47.160

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
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
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
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
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
00:23:39.240
paid him enough money you know in regards of what mark carnies hockey experience is he doesn't really
00:23:45.560
understand teamwork that much right as he's putting together his own little entourage of fools buffoons
00:23:52.120
and idiots and uh like brian literally said the tweet that mr lameni and mr mendicino had back and
00:23:59.160
forth during the convoy they wanted to put tanks in the streets so what does that tell you about how
00:24:06.360
they want to defend this democracy interesting eh interesting indeed you know they're full of
00:24:14.520
shit stay updated and follow crusty canuck on facebook twitter gab telegram youtube and podbean
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
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
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
00:30:15.880

00:30:26.840
