As the immigration crisis continues apace in Canada, it's become clear that the Trudeau Liberals are deathly allergic to the concept of supply and demand. They need the GDP to go up to pretend that the economy is healthy, and so they are importing people on the false pretense that we are a land of opportunity when, in fact, there are very few real opportunities.

00:00:00.000 As the immigration and housing crisis continues apace in Canada, it's become very clear that the Justin Trudeau Liberals are deathly allergic to the concept of supply and demand.
00:00:10.320 They don't care that we only actually started building 230,000 new homes in the year 2023 at the same time that we brought in 1.1 million new people as students, temporary foreign workers, and permanent residents.
00:00:23.600 That's just a pesky detail that you can't stick 1.1 million people in 230,000 new builds on top of the fact that there are Canadian citizens who also want to buy those homes so they don't have to live with their parents anymore.
00:00:36.880 That's just details. They need the GDP to go up to pretend that the economy is healthy, and so they are importing people on the false pretense that we are a land of opportunity when, in fact, there are very few real opportunities.
00:00:49.640 The economy in Canada is being driven by immigration and public spending. The economy in Canada, the GDP, is now 44% public spending. That's insane. And even a lot of that private spending is government subsidized.
00:01:04.220 So, in a certain sense, Canada's probably around 50% government-based spending, which, in my mind, kind of makes this a bit of a socialist country, if more than half of things being done in the economy is being done from the side of the government.
00:01:19.040 But I want to talk right now just about the weirdest take I saw on X the other day. First, maybe I'll talk about Immigration Minister Mark Miller and this crazy comment he made.
00:01:29.580 He said, one way to decrease temporary residence is to make them permanent. Like, that's not his direct quote, but that's being what his paraphrased quote was, saying that people shouldn't be complaining about the excessive amount of students and temporary foreign workers in Canada, because if you don't like them being temporary, why don't we make them permanent?
00:01:47.200 It demonstrates just the smarmy attitude a lot of liberals have towards their critics, pointing out their policy failures. Well, if you don't like so many temporary foreign workers, why don't you just make them permanent residents? 0.98
00:01:58.760 Because we don't have the housing and jobs for them. I don't know if you understand this, Mark, and I know your predecessor, Sean Frazier, definitely didn't understand this, because his own people warned him not to do this, and he still did it anyways.
00:02:10.240 But you actually need supply of something in order to meet the demand. I know liberals come from the school of demand-side economics, where the best way of growing the economy is just farting out a bunch of money and having people spend it.
00:02:24.120 And that stimulates the economy, even though we did not actually increase productivity to match the amount of extra money in the economy.
00:02:32.100 At the end of the day, all economics is about productivity. Are you productive or are you not? You don't even have to use fiat currency. We could use rocks as our currency.
00:02:42.220 But if there is productivity happening, then we are going to do well. If we are actually extracting things from the ground, we're farming things, we're manufacturing things, we will do well.
00:02:51.980 An economy cannot be based on pure service spending from the government. At some point, somebody actually needs to do something productive that people are willing to pay for, not something that you have to force people to buy through taxes in order to pay for.
00:03:07.100 But now I want to get over to this left-wing liberal journalist who, for some reason, still has employment.
00:03:14.200 And as I talk about this really strange take I have, just know that we are really about to go down the rabbit hole on somebody who I regard as Canada's most racist journalist, and I will substantiate that claim before the end of this video.
00:03:28.460 But this is Erica Ippel, who I believe works both for the Hill Times and as well as iPolitics.
00:03:34.380 Sorry, I was thinking there, so I messed up that word. So she works for the Hill Times and iPolitics, and she was reacting to this Globe and Mail article.
00:03:40.940 And when the Globe and Mail is saying immigration is a problem, you know it's a problem that tends to be a little bit more of a liberal-leaning publication.
00:03:47.620 The Globe and Mail headline reads, Immigration to Canada Surges in April, Worsening Outlook for Housing Affordability.
00:03:54.220 And Miss Erica Ippel says, This is a terrible and biased headline.
00:03:58.380 This assumes that immigration is directly linked to housing affordability, and that has not yet been proven.
00:04:03.520 Like, Erica, I know you're a communist, but you know that people, you know, people, flesh and blood, humans, warm bodies, they're alive, they actually need to live somewhere.
00:04:13.800 You can't just construct some dog houses and force them to live there.
00:04:18.240 I know that's what Erica would want to do to white people because she's one of the biggest racists in Canada, but people actually need places that they can, you know, sleep at night, cook their food and all that. 1.00
00:04:28.160 Of course, immigration is tied to housing prices.
00:04:32.300 People don't just arbitrarily price their homes on the market.
00:04:35.920 They price them based on the level of demand.
00:04:39.360 If 10, 15 people want to buy your house, you're going to price it differently than if just one person made an offer in the past six months.
00:04:46.840 If that's the case, you're more likely to take less money.
00:04:49.720 But if 25 people are all competing for your house, there's nothing stopping you from raising the price, and you probably should because everyone else is doing it.
00:04:58.580 And if you want to buy another house, that house is going to be being competed for by multiple people.
00:05:04.300 And so she got mad at people for coming after her and trying to explain the concept of supply and demand.
00:05:10.140 I saw Andrew Lawton being very patient with her and her freaking out.
00:05:13.700 At one point, she posted this. 0.99
00:05:15.240 Honestly, these supply and demand arguments are trash. 0.98
00:05:18.080 How? 0.93
00:05:19.280 I know you might have not gotten your degree, legally speaking.
00:05:22.760 I'm not sure if she stole her bachelor's.
00:05:25.560 I'm not sure what it's even in.
00:05:26.900 I don't really care.
00:05:28.180 But the fact that she thinks that the concept of supply and demand is just, ugh, who cares?
00:05:34.500 It's so reflective of the left-wing mentality in Canada.
00:05:38.100 Oh, goodness, supply and demand?
00:05:39.660 Stop talking about that.
00:05:40.820 That's scary.
00:05:41.480 It's spooky.
00:05:42.640 Supply and demand?
00:05:43.840 Oh, goodness, don't tell me about that.
00:05:45.380 Because we might actually have to make good public policy decisions if we believe that supply and demand is not a myth.
00:05:50.940 But now, this just gave me a great excuse to dive into Erika Ifill's history. 0.54
00:05:55.620 The lady is actively the most racist person I've ever seen who works at a mainstream media outlet. 1.00
00:06:01.500 Like, obviously, we can all go find some skinhead online somewhere who's out of their mind. 0.99
00:06:06.560 But she, for somebody who is in fairly prestigious circles, is insane. 1.00
00:06:13.100 Like, just look at some of these tweets.
00:06:15.120 So she was commenting on this video of, I think, kindergarten girls basically being cheered on by their parents as they were at a school play doing a little performance.
00:06:23.120 It was very cute.
00:06:23.900 And Erika Ifill, in response to this, said,
00:06:27.640 This is the joy white people gaslight out of their children from young. 0.95
00:06:31.540 I've been noticing the lack of joy in white Anglo culture and how white supremacy robs them of it and robs women of agency of joy.
00:06:39.540 I am finally understanding that joy is a revolutionary state of being.
00:06:43.660 Oh, goodness.
00:06:45.900 Because parents were cheering on their kids and they were withholding joy and they were only giving it to the kids when they were doing what they wanted. 0.84
00:06:52.960 And ergo, this is somehow a hit on white people. 0.99
00:06:56.160 She also made, like, a comment about white people being sexually attracted to their own dogs because Erika Ifill is an insane person. 1.00
00:07:03.620 She went after somebody who I consider, you know, an acquaintance but kind of a friend.
00:07:08.280 And Kareemah Saeed, who's very good at filming protests all around the Ontario or, you know, I guess, like, more so Ottawa, Toronto, Peel area.
00:07:17.800 And she, in disagreeing with Kareemah because for some reason she hates Kareemah, said she's fair-skinned and that she didn't actually count as a real minority.
00:07:27.200 Because remember, as I'm going to keep saying, Erika is a massive racist. 1.00
00:07:31.460 She is a big bully and I'm going to play a video in a second to really highlight it because somebody put together this great compilation of her statements on Twitter. 0.84
00:07:41.640 It was Adam Bice, who I will put a link to his video in the description below because I think he did a really good job editing this. 0.58
00:07:49.000 But here's another thing that Erika said.
00:07:51.100 She says, where do they dig Macklemore up from?
00:07:55.180 He's already done more than...
00:07:58.240 Sorry, what is that?
00:07:59.300 Sorry, sometimes my screen cuts things off.
00:08:00.840 Anyways, that's something Clooney on this issue.
00:08:03.620 He's a white rapper appropriating American culture, this guy named Richard says.
00:08:07.840 And she says, so is Drake. 0.95
00:08:09.400 Because Drake is only half black.
00:08:11.540 She doesn't actually consider him black. 1.00
00:08:15.360 Ridiculous. 0.96
00:08:16.020 Okay, well, here's Erika Iffle talking at this one conference and then contrasted next to all of her statements on X. 0.84
00:08:22.800 When the Queen died on CBC.
00:08:24.880 But I didn't see many voices that wrote like I did who said, well, I'm glad the Queen is dead.
00:08:31.520 And let me tell you why.
00:08:32.900 Imagine paying for cable. 0.98
00:08:34.300 And on every channel is an old dead white woman. 1.00
00:08:36.340 Imagine a world where whiteness is not centered, but a foreign disease. 1.00
00:08:39.280 It's not a good look for a Western upper class white woman to answer a black African. 1.00
00:08:42.580 It's amazing how fragile white peoples are. 1.00
00:08:44.520 I feel culturally stalked by white people. 0.98
00:08:46.420 Mastodon is too white. 0.96
00:08:47.700 I was recently digitally lynched, so yeah. 0.91
00:08:51.040 Okay.
00:08:52.020 Yeah.
00:08:52.700 I went through a digital lynching recently. 0.98
00:08:55.100 Black women who are supposed to be subservient to whiteness. 1.00
00:09:00.120 White people. 1.00
00:09:01.300 The motherfucking caucusity is real. 1.00
00:09:03.420 White Canadians didn't even bathe every day in the 1980s. 1.00
00:09:05.960 White people here are aggressively white.
00:09:07.820 Are there no dark-skinned people in Vancouver?
00:09:09.620 There are quite a few Mexicans.
00:09:11.260 However, they aren't dark-skinned either.
00:09:12.880 Do they not let people darker than pancake batter in Vancouver? 0.95
00:09:15.400 I make it a point when I'm doing a story.
00:09:18.120 I'm going to cut her off there, but this video goes on for two minutes,
00:09:21.240 and I want you guys to go on X and go share that.
00:09:24.520 The link is going to be right after the description of this video.
00:09:28.020 Make sure you share that all over the place.
00:09:29.880 Erica Ifel, the fact that the Hilltimes employs her and other media outlets let her write for them
00:09:35.400 is insane in a world where we cancel people over literally nothing, 0.72
00:09:39.940 and this lady over here is acting like Black Hitler, I guess. 1.00
00:09:42.880 I don't get it, but for some reason, she is well-respected and gets to sit on panels
00:09:47.720 with Rachel Gilmore where they both whine and cry about how people are mean and bullying them,
00:09:53.460 even though they are easily some of the biggest bullies in the entire media space right now.
00:09:58.400 And I guess she also thinks that supply and demand is terrible,
00:10:01.400 and because Erica Ifel thinks supply and demand is bad, 0.96
00:10:04.260 it probably means it's a very good concept that you should believe in too.
00:10:08.120 Anyways, that's it for me today.
00:10:09.760 You guys want to be able to...
00:10:11.720 Ugh, why am I so all over the place today?
00:10:13.600 I'm totally sorry.
00:10:14.920 Anyways, I have my legal fund linked in the description of this video below.
00:10:18.440 Give, send, go link.
00:10:19.460 If you want to contribute anything to the legal fund, it really helps me out.
00:10:22.900 And then also you can follow the TNT Telegram channel,
00:10:26.700 also linked in the description if you want all of our posts in your feed in chronological order,
00:10:31.780 rather than just having to rely on social media algorithms to show up to you when we actually make something new.
00:10:38.700 I am so cracky in this video, and I'm going to apologize here.
00:10:42.380 I've restarted this video like 15 times, and eventually at the five-minute mark,
00:10:46.560 if I start messing up, I just kind of muscle through it.
00:10:49.420 And this is very much an example of that where I say something wrong,
00:10:53.020 or I put something on screen like this,
00:10:54.680 and, like, my logo up in the right corner blocks me from seeing what it says
00:10:58.700 because I didn't read it beforehand fully.
00:11:01.260 Ugh, anyways.
00:11:03.140 Ugh, well, that's it for me today, guys.
00:11:05.840 And it definitely is the last video today because I'm not going to repeat this.
