00:00:00.000 As much as you and I might not like the federal NDP, the one positive thing we can say about them is that they always exceed our expectations. 0.98
00:00:09.300 Exceed our expectations in terms of how ignorant they are. It's borderline impressive. 0.96
00:00:14.160 They do not know anything about public policy. They are not coherent in any way in terms of the positions that they'll take on one day and then the position they will take on the next day.
00:00:22.840 But in a certain sense, that's inspiring to know that these people can be multi-term MPs, and that means anyone could be an MP.
00:00:30.300 You and I easily could be MPs tomorrow because at the very least, we can actually put our pants on in the morning where all these people don't seem to have any clue where they are since they constantly say things that they would have condemned yesterday.
00:00:43.120 So I have two great examples here for you guys today. MPs Laurel Collins and Heather McPherson going on about topics that they have no credibility to speak on,
00:00:54.740 and yet they are still trying to make these emotional appeals as to why their pro-censorship, pro-big union positions are the most ethical or whatever they're on about.
00:01:05.740 So I don't even get their points half the time. But first up is Laurel Collins stumping for the pro-censorship bill, Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act that would have you put under house arrest
00:01:17.380 because you might say something hateful or you might say something discriminatory that might lead to hate.
00:01:23.920 And she's saying that we should be supporting this bill because it will stop anti-Semitism.
00:01:28.360 This being a lady who supports anti-Semitism, who wanted there to be a ceasefire in Gaza without hostages being released back to Israel, 0.94
00:01:38.280 who doesn't care that Hamas crossed the border on October 7th and slaughtered 1,200 Jews and then took 250 hostages.
00:01:46.820 No, no, no. She doesn't care about any of those things, but she deeply supposedly cares about anti-Semitism now going on in Canada today.
00:01:54.140 I want to focus on the bill that, part of the bill that addresses hate.
00:01:58.480 You know, in the past few weeks we have seen horrific attacks on synagogues, on Jewish schools,
00:02:04.400 and I've met with community members and leaders from the Jewish community who are scared.
00:02:10.480 They're scared about the rise in anti-Semitism and a number of them have raised how online platforms are fueling this kind of hate.
00:02:18.620 And so, you know, we must address the issues around civil liberties and free speech that are problematic.
00:02:25.220 I like her little inclusion of a cutout token, you know, nod towards constitutional freedoms and our rights.
00:02:35.180 At the same time, she is stumping for us to lose rights to be able to speak freely online.
00:02:39.180 Maybe those Jewish people who are meeting with you were scared and concerned about stuff that you post online because you actually draw hatred by, like, out of the communities that you were trying to pander to by implying that Israel going after Hamas terrorists is somehow evil.
00:02:56.860 It's, in fact, the NDP base that goes and occupies university campuses, attacks Jewish students, doesn't let Jewish students into their encampments, just labels them all Zionists just because they're Jewish, which proves that it's not because they're Zionists, it's because they're Jewish and they don't like Jews, that maybe that's why there are people inside the Jewish community that are concerned.
00:03:17.100 There are skinheads that exist online, not very many of them.
00:03:20.700 It's usually woke SJW leftists who are talking about how we need to, like, you know, put Zionist heads on pikes, and Laurel Collins has been clapping for them all this time, saying that they're actually massive freedom fighters. 0.54
00:03:34.880 There are people who actually care about ethics, but, you know, whatever.
00:03:38.340 It's about, you know, give her all the power so now she can regulate what you say and do online, even though what she says and does online and in real life is the real driver of hatred. 1.00
00:03:48.820 But now I want to move over to NDP MP Heather McPherson from Edmonton Strathcona, I believe is her riding, and she's talking about giving the ability to strike to CBSA workers, Canadian border agents, people who, by definition, cannot strike because of the sensitivity of their jobs.
00:04:10.020 But in this clip, she's going to contradict herself multiple times by highlighting the fact that they have sensitive jobs, but also saying they should be able to walk off the job whenever they want to negotiate for pensions.
00:04:20.820 But before we get into the clip, I just quickly want to plug the TNT legal fund that is linked in the description of this video below.
00:04:28.220 It is a Give, Send, Go link. We have a billionaire from China, a developer, trying to sue us for having a guest writer just report on the fact that he and other people were donating to Aaron O'Toole's 2020 leadership campaign.
00:04:42.020 He's suing us for defamation, even though everything we said about him was just based off of a previous article by the Globe and Mail.
00:04:49.060 We are $29,000 into defending ourselves, so any dollar that you can put into that fund really helps take the burden off of us.
00:04:55.520 But without further ado, here is Heather McPherson, but I do want to read the top text first because this does play into how ridiculous this is.
00:05:04.140 She says,
00:05:05.040 Canada's border service agents are not treated fairly when it comes to pensions, but the minister is focused on reminding agents that they are not allowed to strike for fair treatment.
00:05:14.580 Shameful.
00:05:15.360 And this is Heather McPherson trying to make a big deal about something that is completely sensible. 0.99
00:05:19.720 It's weird that I have to defend a liberal minister right now, but this liberal minister's just correct.
00:05:26.260 She's just correct as she gets into this that obviously negotiations have to happen, but it has to be appropriate.
00:05:32.240 From Edmonton, Strathcona.
00:05:34.100 Mr. Speaker, border workers keep Canadians safe.
00:05:36.920 They're critical to keeping illegal firearms out of the country and protecting our border.
00:05:41.080 But when it comes to their pensions, CBSA workers aren't treated like other public safety officials.
00:05:47.420 CBSA employees are relying on the minister to keep her promise and give fair retirement benefits.
00:05:54.300 When will the minister treat CBSA officers fairly and offer them an equitable pension so that they can get the respect they deserve?
00:06:04.880 The Honourable President of the Treasury Board.
00:06:07.260 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:06:08.920 I want to begin by saying that we are committed to reaching a deal that is fair for employees and for Canadian taxpayers.
00:06:16.700 That deal will be reached at the table, Mr. Speaker.
00:06:19.500 We are committed to negotiation, but negotiation is a process of give and take, and we are more than willing to make concessions,
00:06:27.280 but we expect that to happen on the other side as well.
00:06:30.620 Ninety percent of border services workers are essential.
00:06:33.680 That means they have the responsibility and duty to provide uninterrupted services.
00:06:38.140 But I will reiterate the best deals are made at the table, and that's where we will remain until a deal is reached.
00:06:43.460 Thank you.
00:06:44.320 Why do I have to even say what the liberal minister said was sensible?
00:06:48.460 That was.
00:06:49.280 But the NDP only has whining on their side.
00:06:52.720 And obviously, CBSA workers cannot strike, Heather.
00:06:56.420 Obviously, they cannot.
00:06:57.260 That's why police officers cannot strike, because the amount of leverage that they have from striking is extremely inappropriate that the police could just say,
00:07:07.580 yeah, we're just not going to protect anyone for the next month, let a bunch of murders happen.
00:07:11.020 We don't care because we want more money.
00:07:12.920 Obviously, that's unethical.
00:07:13.960 And generally, the public sector, like the government, has dealt with them pretty fairly.
00:07:19.460 CBSA workers trying to strike when you've just said that their jobs are important for keeping illegal firearms, drugs, and gang members out of the country should indicate to you, maybe just a little bit, why they can't strike.
00:07:32.420 But Heather doesn't care. 1.00
00:07:33.960 She's just a crazy, hyper-pro-union activist. 1.00
00:07:37.080 And so she is here to ask the stupidest questions on the planet as to why we can't just have people critical for the security of the country walk off the job. 0.99
00:07:45.820 Why can't members of the military walk off the job if they aren't given pay increase? 1.00
00:07:50.300 Because it's the military.
00:07:51.740 You've got to quit the job if you don't think it's fair what you're getting paid, because it's just how the job works.
00:07:57.400 You don't have to work it.
00:07:58.380 But if you are there, you can't just say, I'm just not going to care or check people's vehicles for illegal items anymore.
00:08:04.740 Like, it's just how it works.
00:08:07.080 But anyways, I want to end this off by talking about this last post by Jagmeet Singh's NDP's official X account.
00:08:13.680 They're trying to go after Pierre Polyev right now because Polyev isn't a communist.
00:08:19.000 I know that's not shocking to you guys, and that's probably a reason why you like Pierre Polyev.
00:08:24.280 But apparently, according to Jagmeet Singh's NDP, Pierre Polyev is a very evil man because he's not a communist.
00:08:31.260 Because this is what the NDP posted just now.
00:08:34.100 They said, last week, new Democrats forced a vote to bring down prices on essential food items.
00:08:39.520 Pierre Polyev voted against it so big grocers can charge you more.
00:08:44.560 No, that's just how the economy works, Jagmeet.
00:08:46.740 We have grocery prices going up because you've raised taxes, you've raised government spending, increasing inflation because of the printing of money, higher regulations, higher minimum wages.
00:08:57.220 This is what is causing prices to go up.
00:08:59.880 It's what the government's doing.
00:09:01.460 I covered it a while, like a week or two ago.
00:09:04.340 Jagmeet Singh legitimately couldn't admit the taxes make prices go up.
00:09:07.840 The man's just delusional.
00:09:08.920 And so this graphic then says, Jagmeet Singh fighting to lower grocery prices and Pierre Polyev padding the pockets of grocery giants.
00:09:17.160 Price fixing is not padding people's profits.
00:09:20.200 It is saying that they can charge what they want.
00:09:22.820 And guess what?
00:09:23.760 You can pay what you want by refusing to buy at a certain price and go somewhere where the prices are lower.
00:09:29.720 And contrary to popular belief in the NDP, prices are lower at different locations.
00:09:36.260 They're actually the highest at Metro, who Jagmeet Singh's brother, Guritan Singh, works as a lobbyist for, which is why he only barely started to call them out recently after it came out that that's why he was voting, criticizing Metro.
00:09:49.860 But you can find places like Kroger's or other areas where the net profits of the business are only like 1.9% and then go to Metro where they're 4%.
00:09:58.140 And guess what?
00:09:59.000 I'm offended by none of those profit margins because you get to operate your company the way you want.
00:10:04.800 In pretty much every other line of work or business industry, other than like airlines, 4% is considered extremely thin.
00:10:14.260 But for some reason, that's considered record profit.
00:10:17.340 That's gratuitous.
00:10:18.720 I can't believe that they, every dollar that they spend and they work hard for, that they make 4 cents.
00:10:25.160 That, I don't know what to tell these people.
00:10:28.900 But anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:10:32.120 The NDP tires me out, so I want this video to end.
00:10:34.920 But again, you can donate to the Give, Send, Go link in the description of the video below.
00:10:39.040 I'm not plugging my run for the Calgary Signal Hill nomination right now because, if you don't know yet, I was actually disqualified from running for particularly no reason.
00:10:49.220 We are appealing, so I'm not talking about it too much right now, but we have indications from behind the scenes that even the people on the National Candidate Selection Committee don't even know why they were pushed into voting me down.
00:11:01.260 So, well, if you've been supporting me, that's great.
00:11:04.260 We'll hopefully get appealed and approved back into the race, but we don't know what's going to happen at this point.
00:11:08.640 So if you're wondering why in the next few videos I'm not going to mention it, it's because we're now in a holding pattern, not knowing if I'm in or out.
00:11:16.280 Have a go.
00:11:16.720 Have a go.
