00:00:00.000 I supported Trudeau because I'm a diet of the whole liberal, but when I look at what a guy like Carney is able to do and has done, then I can see the deficiencies in Trudeau more clearly now than I could when he was in power.
00:00:12.220 But I am a huge fan of Carney, and if you're here representing PP from Calgary, Alberta, you're barking in the wrong tree.
00:00:22.700 We have a homeless problem, okay?
00:00:25.960 Where do you think that started?
00:00:30.000 due to, honestly, a crisis of drug usage.
00:00:34.280 It's mostly 75% of it.
00:00:36.140 Okay, I'm a recovered alcoholic and intravenous drug user.
00:00:39.740 Right.
00:00:39.980 So, why do people do that?
00:00:45.960 Why do people stick needles in their arms
00:00:48.520 and take the chance of dying for fentanyl?
00:00:51.340 Probably because they have no hope.
00:00:54.400 But that hope is not government.
00:00:56.380 I'm sorry.
00:00:57.580 Government hope does not come from other people.
00:00:59.460 The government gives the framework of education, some level of job creation,
00:01:07.020 and so the government has a hand in it.
00:01:10.000 They've gone a bit too far.
00:01:13.040 But then again, conversely, look, they're trying to pull back south of the border,
00:01:16.700 and that's not pretty either.
00:01:18.680 So there's not a perfect way.
00:01:21.240 Right.
00:01:22.200 But I would say, just looking at Canada specifically,
00:01:25.060 During the last 10 years, Justin Trudeau, he expanded government, like bureaucracy, by like 13%.
00:01:31.440 Right? And it's expanded.
00:01:34.360 And living standards have gone down, inflation has increased, debt has increased, and things are worse.
00:01:41.220 Well, I think inflation has increased around the world. There's no question.
00:01:44.540 Yes.
00:01:45.600 I'm not, you know, I supported Trudeau because I'm a die-in-the-world liberal.
00:01:50.840 And I supported him
00:01:53.100 But when I look at what a guy like Carney
00:01:55.340 Is able to do and has done
00:01:57.220 You know then I can see
00:01:59.540 The deficiencies in Trudeau
00:02:01.400 More clearly now than I could
00:02:03.100 When he was in power
00:02:04.240 But I am a huge fan of Carney
00:02:07.100 Okay
00:02:07.880 And if you're here representing
00:02:10.540 PP from Calgary, Alberta
00:02:13.480 You're barking in the wrong tree
00:02:15.400 No we're non-partisan
00:02:16.640 Okay
00:02:17.560 But I do criticize specific politicians
00:02:21.220 Oh, absolutely.
00:02:22.180 And, like, as an organization, we do feel that certain things that Mark Carney is doing
00:02:27.160 are just go against what we believe as an organization.
00:02:30.040 And what is that?
00:02:30.980 Well, he's expanding bureaucracy again.
00:02:34.180 Like, he's adding more departments that aren't doing anything.
00:02:36.980 He's lowering the number of employees employed by the government by 50,000.
00:02:41.620 Yes, those are employees that we're going to retire anyway.
00:02:46.260 Well, he's lowering it by 50,000.
00:02:50.320 Yes, he's just not rehiring them.
00:02:52.740 Well, that's lowering the...
00:02:54.880 But he's not kicking them out.
00:02:56.660 He's like, it's not a huge...
00:02:58.000 So you propose that he should kick them out?
00:03:00.780 No, but he's like, he's adding new departments
00:03:05.140 and new ways to get, you know, government...
00:03:09.740 To be specific?
00:03:10.960 Yeah, so the project, major project's office,
00:03:14.580 he created that in order to somehow cause these projects that he claims that he's doing
00:03:22.240 he wants them to i guess all be under one roof so he created this new department that's supposed to
00:03:29.280 somehow fast track fast track stuff but it's just the same thing that's that's your take on it but
00:03:36.360 i think what he wants to do is very simply cut some of the red tape and projects that take 10 11
00:03:43.440 12 years to get come to fruition he wants to have them done in two and three years and i mean i used
00:03:50.860 to be a landlord i'm telling you at the local level it's incredible the amount of red tape
00:03:57.760 once you go in with a problem it's something that could be dealt with in and there but no
00:04:02.560 no and you multiply that times however many times the federal government is
00:04:08.020 I know we have the slowest permitting
00:04:11.020 process in the G7
00:04:12.760 I mean I think that's what Kearney
00:04:14.720 but you know with this guy
00:04:16.980 so with the border what Kearney's had to
00:04:18.960 deal with
00:04:20.480 that's unbelievable
00:04:21.780 trouble
00:04:25.040 I mean it's
00:04:26.900 beyond
00:04:27.360 what anybody ever thought could happen
00:04:31.040 it is whatever
00:04:32.720 I thought and I've seen a lot
00:04:35.000 I just
00:04:37.760 i would criticize that about carney too see all these other countries even china even the eu has
00:04:45.900 a deal with trump they've they've worked with them even mexico is working with them and they
00:04:50.380 they trade they trade so much with the united states right and then mark carney is not hardly
00:04:56.800 at the table he's not he's like he's trying not to he's putting you developing new clients all
00:05:02.200 around the world and that's less reliant we've been too reliant on the u.s i would agree with
00:05:07.060 you there and and this is you know what it's a hard way to take the medicine but this is what's
00:05:13.500 happening and carney has done what i could see is a wonderful job so far of developing new markets
00:05:19.140 i guess he's only made one deal though there was a major announcement today with india
00:05:23.640 yeah but i'm skeptical of that because again you you can be skeptical of everything in politics
00:05:33.340 and so i'm not saying carney's perfect i'm saying he's he's better than anybody else that we have
00:05:40.720 to offer in canada okay yeah i'm just i'm skeptical of mark carney when it comes to
00:05:46.780 announcements i would encourage you to look at this too i do he's he's he's a liberal what he
00:05:52.140 announces, for the most part,
00:05:54.220 like what he announced with Germany, what he announced
00:05:56.060 with all the other, with China and other places, they're just
00:05:58.140 memorandums of understanding.
00:06:00.680 They're not actually anything.
00:06:02.420 It's just him saying, oh, we're thinking,
00:06:04.120 we're thinking about doing that, right?
00:06:06.780 Okay.
00:06:08.120 I gotta go. Alright. The picture is clear
00:06:10.300 who you're representing to me.
00:06:12.140 Anyway, but that's fine. Alright.
00:06:13.820 And, you know, dialogue is a good thing.
00:06:16.000 I have voted conservative in the past.
00:06:18.680 Alright.
