True Patriot Love - Talking about Government Spending Waste #canada #governmentwaste #corruption

00:00:00.000 $32 billion went to an eligible or questionable recipients, right?

00:00:04.380 You had the CERB and subsidies like the CERB,

00:00:07.600 you had it handed out to 1,500 people who were in jail, right?

00:00:11.480 700 people not living in Canada, 400 children under the age of 15.

00:00:16.520 It even went to like, what, 391 dead people, right?

00:00:21.100 So clearly there was a crazy amount of waste there.

00:00:23.580 And one of the big areas of waste that everyone will remember is ArriveCamp.

00:00:28.360 remember arrive can that that simple app it launched with an initial price tag of 80 000

00:00:34.000 bucks it ballooned all the way up to 60 million dollars right and and what are the government

00:00:40.920 executives working on that app do how do they hold themselves accountable they took 340 000

00:00:46.840 in bonuses yeah yeah well and you know and after the review you know the gentlemen who were involved

00:00:53.980 with the company actually just got suspended for seven years from being awarded a government

00:01:00.720 contract. And I think it's probably almost up now. They're back in place. So the two people,

00:01:05.400 the two gentlemen that were lobbyists, IT individuals who work from their basement

00:01:09.540 who took home $20 million. So yeah, no, I'm with you. That's craziness. But again, the same type

00:01:18.380 of review we need to go through and we need to get the legislation in place that will stop that

00:01:22.840 from happening you know my worry right now and i i don't know if you're feeling it my worry is this

00:01:28.060 tariff thing like honestly this tariff discussion and all the panic around tariffs the other night

00:01:34.020 i'm sitting there and i'm listening to the u.s ambassador to canada and he comes on he says hey

00:01:39.560 you know by the way canada's effective average tax rate for tariffs is five percent

00:01:45.120 the cbc you know interviewer he says what do you mean he says well you know you take the usmca

00:01:52.680 hey, Cosmo, you take all those things out, you take the 15% that's left, you have some large

00:01:57.920 items that are in on the tariff side. They're important, but quite frankly, we're at 5%.

00:02:02.820 You know, we're running around, you know, having all these discussions like, you know,

00:02:07.260 the world is ending. And then if you read Stephen Murin's papers, you know, that were written,

00:02:13.420 because the head economist from the US, the trickle down effect to the consumer, what is it?

00:02:18.180 So, you know, not that it's not important, not that industries aren't impacted. And I think we

00:02:22.420 have to be cautious to brush it with a broad stroke but but we also have to be cautious not

00:02:27.840 to panic and go running around throwing money everywhere to try to take care of a problem that

00:02:32.720 we need to see what the impact is first and i just wish well i sorry for interrupting but i just wish

00:02:40.260 that you know the the media you know or political elites or whatever the talking heads i wish they

00:02:46.740 just pay as much attention on how much our own governments are taxing us compared to how much

00:02:53.220 you know another government is imposing tariffs essentially on its own citizens right like if you

00:02:58.820 If you look at the average
