In this episode of Thick & Thin, I talk about how the Canadian political system is a travesty of epic proportions, and how we need to fix it. I also talk about the fact that our political parties don't even bother to check who their candidates are, and just go with the flow.

00:00:00.000 Whenever I see these sort of incompetent crazy people who currently sit in our House of Commons
00:00:05.260 in Canada, it makes me ask the question, who's voting for these people? There are so many NDP
00:00:11.780 and Liberal MPs who are just unfunctional. Their brains are pickled. You wonder if they're actually
00:00:18.340 being elected into Parliament or, I don't know, they're submitting a thousand cereal box tops
00:00:24.160 and it entitles them to a parliamentary seat because these people don't actually have any
00:00:29.360 skills whatsoever that would suggest to you that voters would actually want this person
00:00:34.420 representing them. They just jam buzzwords together in Parliament and hope that it makes somewhat of
00:00:40.860 a coherent sentence so it seems like they're really taking it to the Conservatives, even though the
00:00:46.440 Conservatives are in opposition and they should be focused on actually making good policy or, in the
00:00:52.720 case of this NDP MP, holding the Liberals' feet to the fire for their failures. But the problem is the
00:00:58.780 NDP doesn't actually think the Liberals are failing on anything. They just want the Liberals to double
00:01:04.220 the spending on every single new dumb program they create. But I have a treat for you guys here today.
00:01:10.680 It's NDP MP Bonita Zarillo from the riding of Port Moody Coquitlam out in BC. She is going after
00:01:19.600 Federal Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev for, I guess, courting the incel vote? Here's her explaining her
00:01:27.000 thoughts.
00:01:27.500 The member and I went to the same high school and in grade 10, the required reading was The Handmaid's
00:01:33.160 Tale. It was hard to read, Mr. Speaker. And I'll tell you what else is difficult to read, to read what's
00:01:38.800 happening down in the United States and the fact that the United States is looking at taking away a
00:01:43.560 woman's right to choose. And I think about the fact that the member is courting incels for months and
00:01:48.660 months and months at a time. My goodness, this person got elected. This person had people show
00:01:57.600 up to a polling station, take out a ballot and consider for at least a decent amount of time,
00:02:03.520 who am I going to vote for? Well, that Bonita Zarillo lady, she seems good. She seems like a good egg. 1.00
00:02:10.660 And like a year later, a couple of years later, she's like, the leader of the opposition is courting
00:02:17.160 incels for months and months and months and months. Like, what are you on about lady? Remember when you 1.00
00:02:23.060 were supposed to be holding the liberals to account, but I guess she doesn't actually care about whatever
00:02:27.900 the liberals are doing. She just wants to do her own insult comedy tour on the federal conservatives 1.00
00:02:33.680 because she has nothing else other than attacking them because frankly, she's going to lose to them in
00:02:38.780 her riding. So she's very resentful. Ladies and gentlemen, here are the projections for her riding.
00:02:44.580 So we can all rest easy that she's not going to be in parliament very, very long here. She won the
00:02:49.500 last election with 35% of the vote and now is projected at maybe only getting 28%, losing to the
00:02:56.020 conservatives who will gain 45% of the vote. So even if she was able to pull off the votes she had
00:03:02.800 last time, she would still not be able to win. Truly, there are so many of these weird swing ridings
00:03:09.380 where all three parties are competitive and the parties don't really check who their MP candidates
00:03:14.740 are out there because, well, we're not even sure if we're really going to win this riding.
00:03:19.300 So they put in these crazy eccentrics who just do not have both feet planted firmly on the ground. 0.81
00:03:26.340 I want to move on to something else here, but like, we truly need reform inside the political parties
00:03:34.600 because I guarantee this lady got pushed forward by NDP party insiders to be their candidate in this 0.99
00:03:39.800 area. And it happens in every party. People who really didn't deserve to be in parliament getting
00:03:45.340 pushed through by party executives who are either appointing them or rigging nominations so that they
00:03:50.620 can be the person sitting in that seat. Port Moody Coquitlam, I always get confused with that name
00:03:57.600 because there is, the provincial riding is Port Moody Burquitlam, and then the federal riding is
00:04:02.340 Port Moody Coquitlam. But the fact that they have to suffer along with this lady, who's never going
00:04:07.480 to oppose the carbon tax, even though that's a riding where probably most people want it gone,
00:04:11.860 is an absolute travesty of a bad political system. I'm not in favor of proportional representation,
00:04:18.400 but again, we need some oversight in nominations for parties so that we actually know if that's what
00:04:24.120 the members in that area wanted, rather than they are merely the person who have been painted the
00:04:29.160 color of the party brand. And they're being elected sight unseen, assuming that they might,
00:04:34.320 you know, they're probably a generic conservative, liberal NDP or Green Party politician. And they're
00:04:38.880 like, not at all. They're somebody who should be locked up. But anyways, I want to move on to quickly
00:04:44.400 ending this off, talking about this great clip of Mr. Justin Trudeau, our prime minister,
00:04:51.300 at a convention of mayors across Canada, still stumping for some reason, I'm not sure why he talked
00:04:57.720 about this on stage, stumping for the carbon tax, and then getting booed for it, because obviously
00:05:03.440 nobody actually believes the carbon tax is making us wealthier.
00:05:08.080 We're dropping inflation, and we're being there for Canadians, not with cuts and austerity. And
00:05:12.640 we're going to keep doing that. And on the carbon price, it actually puts more money in the pockets
00:05:16.680 of eight out of 10 Canadian families. That's a parliamentary budge officer who says that.
00:05:21.020 It's absolutely true.
00:05:26.260 Okay, even Justin Trudeau seems a little bit crazy today as well with that last little laugh.
00:05:31.580 It's not true. Yes, a parliamentary budget officer came out and said that. But that was after years
00:05:37.360 of the PBO saying that it wasn't true. So after the liberals changed their talking points on the
00:05:44.720 carbon tax, they started calling it a price on pollution, and then they started marketing as
00:05:48.460 the carbon rebate. That's when someone, some hacky moron from the PBO came out and said,
00:05:54.580 oh, actually, yeah, it does make you more money. It's the first tax in history that actually makes
00:05:59.160 people more money on the rebate, even though it's a per unit tax that applies like seven,
00:06:04.360 eight times before you buy the product that you want. And they're only giving you the rebate on what
00:06:09.860 you're paying into the carbon tax, which in theory means that you're making money on it. But in the real
00:06:15.780 world, you're not at all. And whenever I see people say, well, you know, the carbon tax is only
00:06:21.480 contributing 1% to food inflation. Like, oh, goodness, no, it's not. Yes, you can find that by crunching
00:06:28.400 the numbers in a certain way. But that's why I get tired of people who have studies they want to send
00:06:33.760 me. Oh, why I have a study showing actually not enforcing the law lowers crime. Actually decriminalizing
00:06:40.800 drugs makes people use drugs left. I have a study to tell you that that's how it works.
00:06:46.200 No, it's not how it works. You need to read studies through the lens of somebody with common sense and
00:06:52.720 a prefrontal cortex. You need at least some brain function in order to read a study and know if these
00:06:59.860 numbers are just fantasy numbers made up by just jamming enough formulas into a calculator. And it
00:07:05.860 sort of works. Every single terrible policy throughout world history had some expert who
00:07:12.280 showed on paper that it was going to send us, you know, soaring into the sky in terms of prosperity.
00:07:18.060 And it didn't at all. And everyone who had a brain knew it wasn't going to. But some people allow
00:07:24.660 experts to be able to basically gaslight them into thinking that we don't actually need to have
00:07:29.280 rational, competent thought in order to actually create prosperity. We can just say it's going to
00:07:36.360 create prosperity and it will. But we live in the real world and we should try and actually come up
00:07:41.560 with real world solutions. Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys. I'll be back with another
