00:00:00.000 It seems like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have even outdone themselves when it comes to corruption.
00:00:06.020 Their previous corruption scandals usually were complicated, and to portray it to the average person would take you a while.
00:00:13.500 SNC-Lavalin, We Charity, Aducon Island, all the others, they're very clear cases of corruption,
00:00:21.140 but to explain it to the average voter would be difficult just because of all the moving factors,
00:00:26.260 the plausible deniability barriers that Justin Trudeau set himself up with in those cases.
00:00:31.880 But today, or over the last few days, we have a scandal breaking out into the open
00:00:36.500 in which it's just Liberals borderline running out of the government with bags full of cash,
00:00:43.520 and it says taxpayer money on it.
00:00:45.760 Because a bunch of Liberal appointees to the Sustainable Development Technology Corporation of Canada,
00:00:51.420 Liberal appointees, were just giving their own companies money.
00:00:55.120 That's insane.
00:00:56.400 Like $330 million the Auditor General found that the Liberals appointees were just giving to themselves.
00:01:04.720 It's ridiculous.
00:01:06.360 It's like parity levels of corruption.
00:01:08.780 You get appointed to a board, and you just take the board's money and walk away.
00:01:14.280 And of course, it had to do with the sustainable development goals that the government's playing
00:01:19.860 into from the UN.
00:01:21.640 Obviously, a lot of this UN stuff is just big government corruption waiting to happen because
00:01:27.120 it's funding what you call vaporware.
00:01:29.540 Vaporware is like technology.
00:01:31.780 It's different ideas that obviously can't actually feasibly be done.
00:01:35.280 So when people are taking in money through their sustainable development fund, they can not
00:01:41.300 produce anything.
00:01:42.440 We've already had issues with this through the green slush fund where, and this is basically
00:01:47.160 the green slush fund, but the details are more well known, where like Mercedes-Benz, a foreign
00:01:53.700 company was taking in money through its Canadian subgroup, suborganization, power corporation,
00:02:01.100 to do sustainable development stuff, or emissions reductions work.
00:02:05.420 Even though the government had never set up a metric to figure out if they've reduced emissions,
00:02:09.340 there's no evidence to say that they've done anything with the money that the government
00:02:12.800 wanted them to.
00:02:14.200 Frankly, all this should be cut.
00:02:15.800 I don't care even if they were achieving the goal.
00:02:17.880 It's a waste of taxpayer money.
00:02:20.220 But if the Liberals are going to put money towards it and pretend that they're doing it in
00:02:24.000 good faith, there should be little ways of tracking whether or not the money is being
00:02:29.020 used properly.
00:02:29.800 So this scandal so far, and the current government is basically shutting down Parliament.
00:02:36.720 Greg Fergus, the Liberal speaker, has had to shut down a lot of other parliamentary business
00:02:40.940 until the Liberals can hand over these documents.
00:02:43.800 It's just a legal requirement if the RCMP is making an ask for government documents and
00:02:48.260 the government refuses to give it over.
00:02:50.080 A lot of other committee work, a lot of other government functions kind of stop right there.
00:02:55.020 And the Liberals are trying to argue that, well, they're trying to corrupt the independence
00:02:59.540 of the judiciary by the Conservatives putting forward a motion to give the documents over.
00:03:05.100 The Conservatives are just putting forward a motion to embarrass you for not giving over
00:03:08.820 the documents the RCMP already asked for.
00:03:11.120 And you get Karina Gould trying to, like, show up Andrew Scheer in the House of Commons,
00:03:15.940 and it falls so flat when you know how egregious the corruption is.
00:03:21.000 How egregious is it?
00:03:22.480 A hundred and eighty-four red flags for conflict of interest were surrounding these dollars being
00:03:29.740 handed out.
00:03:30.580 A hundred and eighty-four times a government minder had seen this and said, this is a conflict
00:03:36.180 of interest.
00:03:36.680 This is a clear conflict of interest.
00:03:38.160 There's a hundred and eighty-four violations.
00:03:40.660 And, oh, I can't believe the Conservatives are playing politics by saying what we should
00:03:44.600 hand over the documents about our corruption to the RCMP.
00:03:48.840 It's almost as ridiculous as the other Randy scandal where Randy Boissoneau, his company that
00:03:55.080 was taking government dollars while he was a minister, it was a fakey COVID company that
00:03:59.640 wasn't doing any actual work, that they just said, oh, yeah, the Randy that was being talked
00:04:04.540 about in our company, this corrupt company of only, like, a few employees, it was the
00:04:08.220 other Randy, and there's no other Randy.
00:04:10.140 They can't substantiate it at all.
00:04:11.860 And his friend who he was running the company with, who looks like a weirdo eccentric anime
00:04:17.180 character, walks in wearing his, like, pink suit and, like, big glasses or whatever, comes
00:04:22.660 in to say that he doesn't know who the other Randy is, but he's definitely real, and he also
00:04:27.840 can't hand over any documents.
00:04:29.180 This is like what you would write in a TV show, a cartoon superhero TV show to show a
00:04:35.700 politician is corrupt.
00:04:37.100 This is what you would do.
00:04:38.300 It's not supposed to be a complicated story.
00:04:40.000 It's not supposed to be nuanced.
00:04:41.300 These people are corrupt.
00:04:42.240 They won't hand over the documents, and they have a ridiculous excuse.
00:04:46.100 At least, guys, this will make great television in 10 years.
00:04:49.760 If anyone's going to make the Canadian House of Cards, they don't even need to come up with
00:04:54.320 fictional scenarios.
00:04:56.040 They can just use these ones.
00:04:58.100 I could feed tons of stories in.
00:05:00.240 Canadian politics, I'm going to say, is way more corrupt than American politics because
00:05:05.120 I find that there's so little attention on what goes on in Canada.
00:05:08.500 The amount of money and weirdness inside of parties is off the charts because most people
00:05:13.720 don't care.
00:05:14.520 If you mess up in American politics, it will all get spilled out onto the streets eventually,
00:05:18.820 and you're going to get, you know, hung by your own petard.
00:05:22.280 In Canada, you can be Justin Trudeau, and nine years in, you're still not being held accountable
00:05:27.840 for things that you're actively doing.
00:05:30.220 Active corruption.
00:05:31.100 Not 10 years ago corruption.
00:05:32.780 Active corruption.
00:05:33.960 And no one holds you accountable, and so few people care.
00:05:36.480 So I do hope that this ends up hurting and ending the liberal government.
00:05:40.200 Not sure it will.
00:05:41.040 Well, I think it's more straightforward and simplistic than before, which is good for
00:05:45.260 people to understand.
00:05:46.800 But, you know, here's one thing I'm going to leave you guys on.
00:05:49.820 I read this headline from the CBC.
00:05:51.680 It's not worth an entire video in and of itself.
00:05:54.240 But look at this.
00:05:54.980 The scandal that shocked Parliament in the spring is slowly fading from memory, and this
00:06:00.540 is about the 11 MPs who are implicated with foreign interference, potentially working with
00:06:05.280 foreign government, and the CBC, the fifth estate trying to supposedly hold the government
00:06:11.360 to account and report the facts.
00:06:13.540 They're just reporting on the fact that, oh, there's like the scandals going out of the
00:06:17.260 news.
00:06:17.600 Oh, and people don't care about it. 0.97
00:06:18.840 Maybe it's because you guys don't report on it.
00:06:20.540 Maybe it's because you guys don't actually cover the news very well.
00:06:24.160 That's why all these scandals are able to slowly migrate away.
00:06:28.520 Even stuff like SNC and WE, there's still aspects of those stories worth reporting on
00:06:34.620 for an investigative journalist.
00:06:36.500 But it's old news.
00:06:37.920 It was from the spring.
00:06:39.740 How are we supposed to follow up on something that happened in the spring?
00:06:42.720 That's like 20 years ago in the mind of a CBC reporter because they're all five-year-olds
00:06:47.960 who like a one week going by feels like an eternity.
00:06:51.660 Oh, my goodness.
00:06:52.220 Anyways, regardless, if you want to support the show, you can donate in the description
00:06:56.300 below and in the pinned comment for the TNT Legal Fund being sued by a Chinese billionaire
00:07:01.320 for defamation that he can't prove and he has provided no evidence for in over three years,
00:07:06.200 basically just trying to bully anyone who even mentions what his donation habits were
00:07:10.880 in politics and his different connections.
00:07:13.940 Anyways, that's it for me today.
00:07:16.080 Have a good one, guys.
00:07:16.880 Have a good one, guys.
