In this episode, I talk about the corruption in the Trudeau government, and how it is a symptom of a larger corruption problem, which is the influence of "Wokeism" within the federal government. Wokeism is an ideology that has been introduced into Canada by the Liberal Party of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and it's a problem that needs to be addressed.

00:00:00.640 Undoubtedly, Justin Trudeau's government has been one of the most corrupt in Canadian history.
00:00:04.740 You'd probably have to go to New York City in the 1880s to find a system as routinely corrupt as Justin Trudeau's government happens to be.
00:00:12.440 And obviously, everyone knows all the corruption stories, the Aducon Island, SNC-Lavalin, we have the We Charity scandal,
00:00:18.800 we have all the friends and family and business partners of the Liberals getting all these green energy contracts,
00:00:24.380 these boondoggles where they don't know what they're doing.
00:00:26.380 It's not in the interest of the Canadian people, but the Liberals are effectively handing out money like it's candy to their friends.
00:00:31.900 We have the CCP interference scandal, we have Justin Trudeau hanging out with Kalisani extremists, 1.00
00:00:36.340 we have all this kind of different corruption going on in the Canadian government.
00:00:40.640 But while financial and political corruption is bad, I think that the bigger issue in Canada right now is the infiltration of wokeism into the government.
00:00:49.300 Ideological corruption, I believe, will always be worse, because when a new government takes over,
00:00:53.800 the financial and political corruption tends to go away.
00:00:56.380 That as soon as the individuals who are engaging in the corruption and giving out the money and sort of, you know,
00:01:01.080 dealing with extremist type people, as soon as they're gone, usually the government that's replacing them has promised not to do those things.
00:01:08.380 And they would be pretty roundly rejected by the public if they immediately went back to doing those things.
00:01:13.720 This is why ideological corruption is worse, because the legacy of it sticks around.
00:01:18.400 Wokeism being injected into the federal government, into the bureaucracy, could end up damaging Canada in the long run,
00:01:26.740 because of just sort of the people that it's putting in positions of power into these unelected positions that most people are not paying attention to.
00:01:34.540 You cannot operate a country with a bureaucracy, and not that this is the vast majority of federal employees.
00:01:41.320 I believe it's the minority of people who are this way.
00:01:44.640 But when you have people who have this woke ideology, they believe that Western values, that Canada as a country is a force for evil in the world.
00:01:52.900 We have a dark history, everything's bad that Canada does, and we need to be less on the world stage.
00:01:59.020 We need to be less about entrepreneurialism and capitalism.
00:02:02.300 We need to be more about the government managing things for people.
00:02:05.060 We need to get rid of our oil and gas.
00:02:06.940 We need to be replacing this with green energy.
00:02:09.400 That's what's going to damage us in the future, because even if you elect conservative governments,
00:02:13.080 what we could be crippled by is this growth in the sort of HR bureaucracy of the government,
00:02:19.300 people who head up different departments and ministries, who are unelected, who will be basically pushing for any challenges to progressive agendas to fail.
00:02:32.340 That they are progressives ideologically first, and they are patriotic Canadians second, and probably more like third, fourth, or fifth.
00:02:40.140 So we're going to be needing to deal with this in the future, that because we have this ideological corruption,
00:02:47.660 we need to focus on reform inside of the federal government, or we're never going to be able to actually get anything good done ever again,
00:02:57.660 or we're never going to be able to reverse the Trudeau agenda fully without having people in positions of power,
00:03:03.800 in these sort of unelected appointed positions, who actually carry out the sort of the wishes of conservative politicians.
00:03:10.520 To steal and modify a quote from Chiang Kai-shek, the anti-communist former leader of China,
00:03:15.800 corruption is a disease of the skin, but wokeism is a disease of the heart.
00:03:21.240 It's going to be hard to operate a country with a lot of people in the bureaucracy,
00:03:24.780 who fundamentally dislike the country, and think it needs to radically change in a left-wing, very anti-values kind of a direction.
00:03:33.700 So I think that if Pierre Polly becomes the Prime Minister of Canada, not that he has to campaign on this,
00:03:38.380 but there should be the underlying goal to shake up the HR in Canada, to get rid of all this kind of woke infrastructure that's been injected into the bureaucracy,
00:03:49.220 defund those areas of the government, and refund the areas that have been neglected.
00:03:54.920 Just like look at the passport offices.
00:03:56.460 People can barely get their passports processed because of the minimal staffing and budgets for these areas of government.
00:04:03.760 While the DEI type areas, the sort of like, you know, people teaching anti-racism in the government as if the Canadian government's racist,
00:04:11.880 these people are super well funded, but we don't have the essential services properly funded.
00:04:15.940 So I think that the conservative, a conservative government definitely needs to do that,
00:04:19.540 because we cannot survive as a country with wokeism weighing us down,
00:04:23.520 with people who believe that Western values and traditions are evil,
00:04:27.560 and that we need to basically have Canada sort of take a step back on the world stage,
00:04:32.900 because we're somehow morally corrupt compared to the rest of the world.
