00:00:00.000 The Mark Carney Liberals have just shot themselves in the foot with their new scheme to try and privatize for Canadian airports.
00:00:09.180 When I say privatize, it's more akin to the state selling the airports to the deep state, and it's going to be a massive vector of corruption.
00:00:19.080 Before I get into this clip from CTV News, where the Liberal House leader Steve McKinnon talks about the plan,
00:00:25.300 I just quickly want to remind you guys, if you like the show, make sure to leave a like on the
00:00:28.640 video. Subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber. We're getting very close to 100,000 subscribers,

00:00:43.060 channel more sustainable for me. But we need to go through this minute-long clip from the CTV news
00:00:48.740 interview. It's absolutely insane, the plan that the liberals end up pitching here, and I don't
00:00:54.360 know why they think this is going to be sellable. It just sounds like carny corruption.
00:01:00.100 They're taking that decision out of a not-for-profit operation and putting in the hands
00:01:05.320 of a for-profit operation. Their goal is to make money. Canadians, I think, and some public opinion
00:01:13.140 polling expresses this, are worried about money being made off of them.
00:01:18.360 Now, before we get to Steve McKinnon, I do just want to comment on what Vashi Capello said there.
00:01:23.120 Now, that's not quite true.
00:01:24.940 Yes, are there left-wing Canadians who definitely are worried about being profited off of in airports?
00:01:31.440 You know, that it's going to be sold to a for-profit company and all the prices are going to be jacked up.
00:01:36.040 Yes, there's even probably some people on the right who don't like that.
00:01:38.360 They like the non-profit model.
00:01:39.840 The problem is the non-profits make money too.
00:01:42.000 They don't pay out to shareholders like a for-profit company does,
00:01:46.680 but airport improvement fees in many airports are like double what they should be
00:01:50.920 because they like having the extra money to spend on pet projects yes they don't put out dividends 0.97
00:01:55.800 to investors but they do spend on a bunch of stupid you know woke initiatives that they have 0.98
00:02:01.800 they do build art installations they give out bonuses to people on the board it still happens 0.98
00:02:07.720 even if it's not for profit but let's see what steve mckinnon's proposal is for the privatization
00:02:14.040 plan well we're taking it out of a largely unregulated model and moving it into what i
00:02:21.720 just indicated would be a model that would be regulated by agreements that we have with again
00:02:29.160 what we anticipate to be first of all canadians will own a part of these operating concessions
00:02:36.740 through the canada strong fund so that will be a direct investment by the government of canada
00:02:41.800 We anticipate a lot of interest, of course, from these very experienced Canadian pension funds who are used to and understand the various models around the world and are among the best in the world at operating airports, an opportunity for Indigenous communities as well to invest.
00:03:01.780 Do you realize how insane what he just said was? So we are going to privatize these airports by selling the airports to ourselves. That's effectively what it is. By the way, this actually happened in Nazi Germany when they are not calling them, you know, national socialists.
00:03:21.600 I'm just saying that it's a stupid national socialist style scheme in order to privatize something by selling it to yourself. 0.89
00:03:29.580 In Nazi Germany, they would actually sometimes sell state entities to a organization that was run by the Nazi party. 1.00
00:03:36.720 It was nuts. Again, it's just a kind of a funny quirk that they're engaged in national socialist style corporatism here.
00:03:44.200 But you're going to sell the airports to the pension funds.
00:03:50.060 Now, maybe he's saying it's private pension funds, although it would be very funny if the Canada Pension Fund actually ended up investing in these airports.
00:03:58.280 But the first one, he said, was the Canada Strong Fund.
00:04:01.460 So Canadian taxpayers are going to buy it from the nonprofits that are crown corporations operating for the state.
00:04:08.940 What?
00:04:09.500 So we're going to put the airports under the control of the Mark Carney loyalists over at the Canada Strong Fund, which, remember, is funded with $25 billion of debt because we never had a surplus to put into it.
00:04:26.740 we put $25 billion into the fund through increasing the deficit massively. Remember that day when Mark
00:04:33.740 Carney announced to act like he's some financial wizard, because he can put his credit, he can swipe
00:04:39.140 his credit card on an investment fund for $25 billion. And then the last one there was, we're
00:04:45.440 going to have a opportunity for indigenous groups to own parts of the airport. How? They don't have
00:04:53.420 any money. Some of them actually do have decent money because they are invested in resource
00:04:58.120 extraction, but not usually where airports are. What's going to happen is that bands are going to
00:05:04.280 get taxpayer-backed loans to then invest into the airport. Wouldn't you love that, that you get to
00:05:11.720 own a portion of the airport and the taxpayer is going to give you the loan for it, and then you
00:05:15.720 can just kind of pay it back one-to-one as you're making money. It's passive income where there's no
00:05:21.000 reason not to sign on. And so we're going to hurt the profitability of the airports for people in
00:05:27.040 Canada Strong Fund, as well as the pension funds, because we're going to hive off any amount of it
00:05:33.020 and give it to the indigenous band using taxpayer loans to let them acquire it. This is extremely
00:05:41.300 stupid, not only financially, but in terms of corruption. Again, we're going to have a fund 1.00
00:05:47.600 that mark carney's liberal government is fully appointing the board of they are in charge of
00:05:53.380 that fund it's not like other parts of the government where there might be some old timers
00:05:57.780 who have been around for 20 years and they're not really going to just follow whatever the new
00:06:01.780 government's orders are one-to-one they have a certain way of doing things they like investing
00:06:05.960 the taxpayer money in certain ways they like you know going for certain types of projects no matter
00:06:11.040 what the government says no no this is a brand new organization that's going to be staffed up
00:06:15.360 with only Mark Carney drones, and they are going to buy the airports from the non-profit
00:06:21.460 crown corporations that they're already under. This is asinine in the extreme and a massive 0.93
00:06:28.420 vector of corruption. It is the state selling assets to the deep state. It is corporatism 0.98
00:06:35.740 at large. We are private. Oh, it's a private free market entity that the state basically owns,
00:06:42.400 so they can't do anything without the state's permission it's so dumb and what is this for
00:06:47.460 really to get extra money in taxpayer coffers okay maybe the pension funds if they're private
00:06:53.140 are giving some money to the government to buy these up and they can use that like few billion
00:06:58.000 dollars to getting from them to make this deficit slightly less bad but this is a massive change
00:07:03.280 for like no discernible benefit and in fact probably no discernible difference in how they're
00:07:10.200 operating other than there is far less accountability than there used to be on what is actually going on
00:07:17.060 with the airports. But now I want to move on to question period today because Parliament is back
00:07:22.640 in session and I found this exchange between Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev and
00:07:27.440 Prime Minister Mark Carney to be quite curious. I find Mark Carney so shaky these days when it
00:07:33.340 comes to answering basic questions like the man's flying high right now in most polls and his 0.96
00:07:38.920 approval ratings, but I find that even he seems to choke a little bit on the dumb words that he 0.98
00:07:44.920 is saying. Mark Carney is an actual smart man, and unlike Justin Trudeau, I think he actually 0.92
00:07:50.820 knows he's lying, he knows what he's saying is not correct, and it bothers him, but watch this
00:07:56.100 exchange. The Honourable Leader of the Opposition, Prime Minister, welcome back to Parliament.
00:08:02.340 To the Canadian people, the message of Conservatives is that we will fight to save you money this
00:08:07.560 session of parliament. Save you money on your rent and mortgage. Save you money on gas and
00:08:12.580 groceries. Save you money here at home at your kitchen table where you're paying more than ever
00:08:18.320 for food because this prime minister is costing you. He doubled the deficit, increased industrial
00:08:24.280 carbon taxes and other fuel taxes, driving up your cost of living. So to the prime minister,
00:08:29.700 he said in March that affordability was the best it's been in a decade. Does he believe that or
00:08:35.640 would he admit that people are paying more than ever here here here the right vulnerable prime
00:08:40.380 minister mr speaker there's a reason we have answered uh mr speaker this government will
00:08:47.180 continue this is some implication that somehow pure poly of his lying he absolutely said that
00:08:51.960 and let the legis or in parliament like earlier in the spring that actually affordability is as
00:08:56.700 bad as as good as it's been in 10 years it's like no that's not right and he's mentioning
00:09:01.020 hansard because it's like the system they use to keep transcripts on what people said even then
00:09:05.900 he's already kind of shaky from the beginning here because i think he's honestly not very
00:09:09.420 good at this and he's been away from parliament too long mr speaker there's a reason we have
00:09:13.980 hansard uh mr speaker this government will continue to work without fail to improve
00:09:21.260 affordability for canadians cutting taxes on income cutting taxes on first-time buyers the
00:09:25.980 The gross reason is the income tax cuts are a half a point for the first $50,000 where you don't even pay $18,000.
00:09:33.900 You don't even pay anything on the first $18,000, I believe.
00:09:36.980 It's nothing that you're getting money back on.
00:09:39.360 It's ridiculous to even be marketing that.
00:09:41.680 And they implemented their new clean fuel standard, a bunch of other stuff that's already jacking up other taxes elsewhere, mostly hidden taxes.
00:09:50.020 So the liberals will lower your taxes slightly, but they'll make sure to implement another tax that gets them their money back.
00:09:55.980 Certibility for Canadians, cutting taxes on income, cutting taxes on first-time buyers, the groceries and essential benefits.
00:10:02.200 The next check is coming in October, 12 million Canadians getting the benefit. 0.71
00:10:06.640 Such a pathetic way of putting it. The check is in the mail, boys. Don't worry. 0.93
00:10:12.040 If you're living on government benefits, the check is in the mail.
00:10:16.100 Just make sure you remember that around Christmas because Uncle Carney's looking out for you.
00:10:22.020 It's so lame.
00:10:23.540 Oh, you know, we're going to give you a rebate to help you with the fact that we made grocery prices unaffordable through all of our terrible taxes and regulations.
00:10:31.180 Well, I gave you a few bucks back on it.
00:10:34.240 Think about that next time you're voting.
00:10:36.160 And above all, providing the essential social services that that member voted against.
00:10:41.420 Every single one.
00:10:42.460 Childcare, dental care, national school food program.
00:10:45.640 $20,000 of savings for Canadian families.
00:10:49.140 yeah if you qualify for every single benefit package to the maximum extent it's like twenty
00:10:55.780 thousand dollars it's called living on welfare that's not a good state to be in he's sounding
00:11:01.220 like justin trudeau because i remember late stage justin trudeau i'm not saying that mark carrie's
00:11:05.000 at his like you know on his last legs and he's gonna fail or something like that i'm saying that
00:11:09.600 like it's just such a dumb late stage trudeau thing to do did you know that we're giving your
00:11:13.940 kid we're giving your kid a little bit of food at school we're giving you a a rebate in the mail 0.84
00:11:19.540 you know you'd always do that with the carbon tax and now we're doing with the grocery rebate
00:11:23.300 we're checks in the mail so you better you better like us because we just gave you a couple hundred
00:11:28.360 bucks of your own money back after we've been squeezing you dry for the past 11 years 0.99
00:11:32.080 ever thought of that ever thought of that one it's so pathetic 0.96
00:11:37.300 the honorable leader of the opposition he's proven once again that he is absolutely out of touch 0.90
00:11:47.720 and canadians are absolutely out of money all they have gotten from him is big talk around the world
00:11:53.440 and big bills here at home lolita for example from mississauga told me this morning that she has to
00:12:00.360 work two jobs now one is a waitress and as an insurance broker to pay the insane grocery prices
00:12:07.040 this prime minister promised that he would he would reduce she can't eat speeches summits or
00:12:13.120 signing ceremonies will the prime minister admit that affordability is not the best it's been in
00:12:19.280 a decade in fact lolita is paying more than ever before yeah mr speaker what this government knows
00:12:30.320 is that there are three wars affecting canadians the tariff war from the americans the war against
00:12:34.800 around the war against ukraine they are pushing up fuel prices they are pushing up grocery prices
00:12:40.480 so we're providing immediate support to canadians groceries and essentials benefit next check is
00:12:45.920 coming next month 1900 up to 1900 for a family of four across that we support with the school benefit
00:12:54.320 you know what i mean does it sound like he even believes the things he's saying oh it's because
00:12:59.520 of the war with america on tariffs it's the war in iran it's the war in ukraine okay okay some of
00:13:04.080 those things definitely affect prices why are you so impotent that your only measure apparently to
00:13:10.480 solve the problem not even solve it remedy it slightly is to send some people a check in the 0.95
00:13:15.440 mail like um no that would that's like the dumbest thing that you could possibly do that's like a 0.99
00:13:23.680 stupid person's idea of how you end up solving the affordability crisis oh my goodness people 0.99
00:13:28.480 can't afford anything well you send them a hundred bucks in the mail then they can maybe buy it it's 1.00
00:13:32.720 It's like, I thought you were a financial wizard.
00:13:34.560 Can't you figure out a way of actually lowering taxes substantially?
00:13:37.320 He's going to get to that later of like, hey, we did our mega deduction.
00:13:40.600 It's like, okay, that doesn't actually affect the average person.
00:13:44.900 And it just allows companies to deduct things faster off of their expense sheet,
00:13:50.600 which it's a temporary program.
00:13:52.240 And it's also going to make the deficit way worse in the short term.
00:13:56.900 You know, fair enough.
00:13:57.620 Maybe it is a good kickstart to the economy.
00:13:59.260 but he's not dealing with any of the other fundamental problems of the economy it's always
00:14:04.400 rotating deck chairs on the titanic oh we're going to speed speed up your deductions okay
00:14:09.180 does that actually limit how much taxes i'm paying in the long run well not really not really you're
00:14:14.660 just paying it off differently you're just paying you get your deduction a little faster
00:14:18.680 fit and beyond thank you mr
00:14:21.460 Honourable Leader of the Opposition, and beyond, he doubled the deficit, contributing to inflation.
00:14:30.540 He's introduced a new fuel tax, partially offsetting the one that we forced him to put on hold.
00:14:36.660 He's increasing the industrial carbon tax.
00:14:38.840 And today, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business revealed that 20% of its members say their business is weak or critical.
00:14:45.580 Only 18% said they would recommend other people start businesses.
00:14:49.960 50% say, don't start a business right now because the costs are too high.
00:14:55.920 Conservatives want to save money and jobs through small business.
00:14:59.000 Willie reverses inflationary policies so we can bring down the costs on our small business consumers and workers.
00:15:05.020 The right honourable prime minister.
00:15:08.400 Let's walk through those in order, Mr. Speaker.
00:15:11.780 The industrial carbon tax, the impact on groceries is zero.
00:15:18.500 No.
00:15:19.560 No, it is not zero. It is, in fact, much more than zero. Does he think that there's a way of putting a tax on something and not having it affect prices? If he is, maybe he is a wizard. But that's not how it works, and that's not how his own, I believe it's the Parliamentary Budget Office, has evaluated things. In fact, it does increase prices.
00:15:40.480 I want to go immediately pause that to go over to the food professor who fact-checked this on the fly here, Sylvie in Charlebois.
00:15:49.280 The food professor here says,
00:15:51.100 Prime Minister Carney claimed today that the industrial carbon pricing has zero direct or indirect impact on food prices.
00:15:58.240 That is not true.
00:15:59.620 Ottawa's own modeling estimates millions in carbon price costs for food, beverages, and manufacturing in 2022.
00:16:05.700 When the carbon tax was $20 per ton, now it's $110 per ton.
00:16:10.480 Costs do not simply disappear. Absolutely. You can't just say, well, you know, there's no direct impact because it's the major corporations paying it, not the consumers. Who do you think they put the costs on, dummy? Yes, they eat some of them, but they're also going to put it onto the consumer because they're not just going to not make money in order to pay the industrial carbon tax.
00:16:32.740 They're going to raise prices so that that can then pay off the increase, can pay off the carbon tax costs, and then the consumers end up still having to pay more so that they can maintain generally the same margins that they had before.
00:16:46.200 Again, these people are just dull. 0.99
00:16:49.000 Either they're dull or they think you're dull, but I really doubt it if you're watching this video that you actually buy this crap. 0.99
00:16:54.460 The impact on clean fuel regulations on a bushel of canola is over a dollar. 0.99
00:17:02.740 A bushel of canola in Battle River, Crowfoot.
00:17:06.080 It's over a dollar.
00:17:07.380 Impact on fuel prices is zero.
00:17:09.920 Mr. Speaker, this government is cutting taxes for business.
00:17:13.500 The head of the...
00:17:14.180 It's like he's developing Chrystia Freeland's speaking tics.
00:17:17.900 Like, again, this has been so stiff and awkward.
00:17:20.180 It's like someone replaced, like, Mark Carney with a robot.
00:17:23.680 CFIB praised the productivity mega-deduction.
00:17:26.480 I look forward to the member opposite.
00:17:27.980 All mega-deduction.
00:17:29.840 The unbelievable...
00:17:31.920 His own Environment Department report reveals that the impact of the fuel standard is seven cents this year, rising to 17 cents per litre by the end of the decade.
00:17:45.320 So he should check his own documents or he should listen to Justin, who told me in a letter on August 11th, 2026, I cannot afford to eat properly.
00:17:54.300 I skip meals and rely on cereal for breakfast.
00:17:57.200 I'm incredibly frugal, but my debts are still growing faster.
00:18:00.880 i constantly stress and cry over my financials the middle class is being eliminated mr speaker
00:18:07.760 will he look justin in the eye and tell him that affordability is the best it's been in a decade
00:18:12.500 i always find it sometimes cheesy when people invoke the actual name of someone who wrote them
00:18:19.320 in it's not bad just not usually my style but mark carney whiffs this really bad
00:18:23.920 because it only comes off as belittling when he also picks up the naming convention here
00:18:30.880 Mr. Speaker, this government is working for Justin.
00:18:35.420 This government is working for Justine and the Justins and Justines across this country.
00:18:40.060 We are working.
00:18:40.760 It's got to be gender balance.
00:18:42.080 So he then turned into Justine as well in case there's women offended that he was talking about Justin.
00:18:46.500 They're great jobs.
00:18:47.380 200,000 jobs net over the course of the last year.
00:18:51.200 The fastest growth in the.
00:18:52.520 Yeah, and half those jobs are in Alberta.
00:18:54.140 It has nothing to do with Kearney.
00:18:55.960 G7 in the last quarter.
00:18:57.340 We are making this country more independent from the United States, more resilient, more prosperous.
00:19:04.300 And while we're doing that, we are providing Canadians like Justin with a boost today and a bridge to tomorrow.
00:19:10.000 Don't worry, Justin, you're getting a check in the mail. So stop complaining.
00:19:13.580 That's again, effectively what he's saying. Don't worry, we're sending you a rebate in the middle.
00:19:17.680 So stop complaining about food prices.
00:19:19.300 no normally i wouldn't cover this but actually i think that blanchette francois uh blanchette
00:19:29.620 ends up getting a really good shot off on on mark carney now i don't agree with the bloc
00:19:35.940 québécois positions but he makes a really good point that he walked away and terminated the trade
00:19:41.380 talks with the united states over the idea of culture at the same time he's also been eliminating
00:19:47.860 other you know taxes and whatnot in order to please the united states so carney keeps trying
00:19:53.140 to do like both things at once he's mr sovereignty at the same time he's also getting rid of the dst
00:19:59.140 to please the americans and they basically say you actually have to pick a lane because obviously
00:20:03.540 you're not it really it just looks like you're failing at a deal and you're also not backing up
00:20:08.340 the canadian cultural sector now i don't think they should be getting any money but my that the
00:20:12.340 the whole idea is for a block voter or a block-leaning voter in Quebec. The hypocrisy here
00:20:17.980 is actually quite massive. Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister personally cancelled all contributions
00:20:30.400 from internet giants to Quebec and Canada's economy through taxation and through content
00:20:38.880 creation. This to placate the American president, which did not work.
00:20:46.320 He claimed that he left the negotiation table and I doubt it for language and cultural reasons.
00:20:52.800 Shouldn't the prime minister not consider bringing back the digital services tax
00:20:59.040 so that internet giants pay their fair share? The right honourable prime minister,
00:21:03.200 Mr. Speaker, like the member for Bélo Chambly, our government is devoted to working for Canadian culture, French culture and Quebec culture.
00:21:18.060 And that is the reason for which investments in the cultural sector are the highest they have ever been.
00:21:27.680 We will strengthen them further.
00:21:29.680 we don't necessarily need specific taxes that have impact on affordability for Canadians
00:21:38.320 so right there we don't need to go back to Blanchette because it kind of just goes and
00:21:43.720 goes over again in the same kind of rigmarole there but Blanchette even though again I don't
00:21:49.220 like the DST he is right what are you trying to do please Donald Trump or fight Donald Trump which
00:21:54.660 points more to Mark Carney is incompetent when it comes to trying to get a good deal with the
00:21:59.600 Americans. He keeps making concessions to them to try and make them like him. At the same time,
00:22:04.200 he realizes his base doesn't want to sign a deal with Trump. So he walks away from the table
00:22:09.020 rather than continuing to try and hammer out a deal that would actually save jobs and boost our
00:22:14.280 economy. He's like stuck between a rock and a hard place. And he's too stupid to know what to do in
00:22:19.900 the position that he's in. So yeah, kind of, you know, good point by Blanchett that the man is 1.00
00:22:26.900 both saying justifying walking away from the trade deal because I want to stand up for Canadian
00:22:32.200 culture. At the same time, he also got rid of the DST and canceled the tripling of the streaming tax.
00:22:39.340 Make it make sense. Anyways, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching today. Make sure
