Western Standard - Environmentally obsessed federal government is crushing Canada

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 good day welcome to the cory morgan show as we go into september the leaves are turning out there

00:00:35.540 i can see that when i'm driving in and it depresses me i hate winter with an unholy passion so just

00:00:39.980 giving you a warning i'm just going to get crabbier and crabbier as it gets colder towards

00:00:43.800 the bottom of the year i'll start to brighten up after the uh the shortest day of the year

00:00:48.940 till then you got my grumpy commentary on things lost to comment about lost for me to be grumpy

00:00:53.940 about today also good things of course and stuff like that i've got alberta commentator john

00:00:58.920 Bolton on. He's a former radio host. You might know him on his YouTube channel. He's very

00:01:03.540 prolific with some great stuff on there. And I'm going to check in with Dave on some new stuff.

00:01:08.600 Lots going on out there right now, actually. We're not short of news to cover. I see Jordan and

00:01:13.360 Donald there on the comment scroll. Yeah, this is live, guys. Interact, send those comments my way,

00:01:19.360 chat with each other, you know, just try to stay civil. We can keep the fighting to X or somewhere

00:01:23.740 else. But on here, you know, we can try and keep it reasonable. I see them all, but I don't

00:01:26.880 necessarily read them all out. So I'm going to get on what I'm ranting about today. Mark Carney

00:01:33.180 is here in Alberta, an enemy territory, as far as Liberals go, with a Liberal caucus meeting,

00:01:37.800 getting ready for the next session of Parliament, which is coming up pretty soon. And they came up

00:01:45.960 with their big list of projects. He's been talking about the projects, and noticeably absent,

00:01:50.900 no pipelines. And the Liberals are saying, as usual, it's because there's no private interest.

00:01:54.700 Well, Canada's economy is spluttering, and it's going to continue to under Liberal rule.

00:02:00.300 Carney's administration is no less economically reckless than the Trudeau administration was,

00:02:06.220 and for the same reason. Carney's net-zero obsession is overwhelming any pragmatism when

00:02:11.000 it comes to policy reforms. He can't allow himself to support any policy that might clash

00:02:15.620 with his green vision for the world, as he dithers and offers doublespeak while industries

00:02:20.620 continue their decline in fleeing Canada. Carney has indicated he would support expanding Canada's

00:02:26.200 pipeline network so petroleum products could be exported overseas markets. Yet he refuses to drop

00:02:31.780 the tanker ban or bill C-69 which is known as the no more pipelines bill and it makes expansions

00:02:37.220 impossible. He knows that. Carney repealed the consumer carbon tax but maintained the clean

00:02:42.060 fuel mandate which continues to keep energy costs and cost of living in general high. He's paused

00:02:47.900 but won't rescind the wretched EV mandates, which are going to lead to a ban of conventional

00:02:53.080 vehicles. Even when facing fines, if they couldn't meet the 20% sales minimum to be imposed this 2026

00:03:00.180 before the pause, dealerships couldn't even come close to meeting those targets. In fact, sales of

00:03:04.540 EVs in Canada have collapsed with the new EV registrations down by 39% in the second quarter

00:03:10.000 of 2025. Look, the cars are expensive, unreliable, poorly suited to Canada's climate, and we don't

00:03:15.420 have the infrastructure to manage them. But despite all this, Carney clings to the mandate

00:03:19.580 to ban regular vehicles as he's causing a chill in an automotive industry already reeling under a

00:03:24.580 trade war. The Liberals imposed 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, which earned

00:03:29.620 that massive retaliatory tariff on Canadian canola. But rather than lift the tariff,

00:03:34.580 which protects a Canadian market that doesn't exist, Carney's spending hundreds of millions

00:03:38.720 of tax dollars on a biofuel initiative so the canola that we can't sell could be burned in

00:03:43.180 vehicles. Canadian housing availability, that's still at crisis levels in some regions and

00:03:47.480 a contributing factor is the green building strategy which puts regulations on construction

00:03:51.600 which raises costs, slows the construction and puts contractors out of work. Meanwhile billions

00:03:56.860 of tax dollars are still slated to go out in various EV and battery plants despite the chronic

00:04:01.180 failures of these industries. The trend is the same across the board. The Kearney government

00:04:05.420 claims to be concerned with the economy but won't make the changes it needs because they clash with

00:04:09.680 the environmental goals of the regime. This won't change because we're being governed by ideologues.

00:04:15.560 Mark Carney's proven himself effective in saying all the right words to get elected,

00:04:19.580 but weak on action once in office. He's been painted as a pragmatist, but he's anything but.

00:04:23.740 He's blinded by an obsession to fight climate change through legislation, no matter how much.

00:04:28.340 It makes we, the citizens, suffer. Ideologues are immune to reason, and when they've convinced

00:04:33.660 themselves they're saving the world, they're never going to back down. Carney, like Trudeau

00:04:37.580 before him believes the world's facing an existential crisis that he can manage to stop

00:04:41.400 through legislative changes. He has a messiah complex, feels he knows what must be done and

00:04:46.320 the masses must accept it for their own good. He's also an elitist. He has no interest in

00:04:50.660 listening to those he considers to be his subjects. Canada's going to stop trying to be the world boy

00:04:55.340 scout and start looking out for itself. Carney reflects a nation crippled by mediocrity and

00:05:01.120 lacking ambition. Unfortunately, and again like Trudeau, Carney's more concerned with his European

00:05:06.260 reputation than the well-being of the citizens he's actually responsible for. Maybe if Carney

00:05:10.880 could be convinced that European leaders he's trying to endear himself to would value his

00:05:14.360 company more if Canada was actually selling them oil and gas rather than environmental platitudes.

00:05:19.220 He would change his stance on energy development, maybe in that case. Who knows? He needs some

00:05:24.540 fluffing from the European crowd. His predecessor embarrassed the nation when he turned down

00:05:29.520 Germany's offer to buy Canadian gas. Carney doesn't have to follow Trudeau's economically

00:05:34.080 incompetent footsteps after months of dithering and talking about uh talking big you know that

00:05:39.200 list of canadian infrastructure projects is still lacking any oil pipelines the government's claiming

00:05:43.600 it's the fault of privacy private industries because no companies are going to step up to

00:05:48.160 build it but of course they won't no investor in their right mind is going to build a pipeline when

00:05:51.760 the federal government's uh legislation they're no more pipeline thing the tanker ban and the 0.94

00:05:56.880 implied requirement for indigenous consent for every project is out there can won't get pipelines

00:06:01.600 because Kearney doesn't want pipelines.

00:06:03.300 It's as simple as that.

00:06:04.840 The only question now is whether the entire nation

00:06:06.680 is going to swirl down the economic drain

00:06:08.240 due to the zealous environmentalism of Kearney

00:06:10.860 or if a nation is going to split

00:06:12.240 so at least the West can escape the fate of the East. 0.91

00:06:15.100 You know, I'm hoping for the latter option.

00:06:17.200 By the way, there's my bright and cheery outlook this morning.

00:06:19.960 Guys, let's turn to Dave and see what's happening in the news.

00:06:22.140 Other than that, how's it going?

00:06:23.020 Good, you?

00:06:23.700 Not too bad, actually.

00:06:24.700 You know how I can tell winter's coming?

00:06:26.500 Yeah.

00:06:26.920 Well, when you're growing your beard.

00:06:28.100 Yeah, see, I got to keep warmer for the season.

00:06:30.440 Keep your chin warm.

00:06:31.780 Or I'm just too cheap to buy more razors.

00:06:33.440 Yeah, maybe.

00:06:35.200 Big game on Sunday.

00:06:37.220 Big, big game.

00:06:38.860 Steelers versus my Seahawks.

00:06:40.600 Your Steelers.

00:06:41.140 Oh, the upcoming, yes.

00:06:42.320 The upcoming game on Sunday.

00:06:43.480 Yes, I'm looking forward to rubbing your nose in the loss.

00:06:46.040 We shall see, my friend.

00:06:47.200 We shall see.

00:06:48.260 Hey, did you see Justin Trudeau has entered the speaker's circuit?

00:06:52.660 I did.

00:06:53.180 A hundred grand a speech, he's asking.

00:06:55.960 Somebody will pay it.

00:06:56.820 He was over in Japan delivering one.

00:06:58.840 I wouldn't pay $10 to see that guy.

00:07:00.900 No, I'd pay to have the volume muted, that umming and ahhing,

00:07:03.940 and his voice is his nails on a chalkboard.

00:07:06.580 I know.

00:07:07.080 I haven't heard it for a while, which is good.

00:07:09.440 Which is good.

00:07:10.160 Yeah, he can speak in Japan all he likes.

00:07:11.840 I don't know.

00:07:12.540 Some of those Mark Carney press conferences where he ums and ahs.

00:07:15.760 Yeah, it's a difference.

00:07:16.920 It's painful.

00:07:19.160 As you said, very, very busy news morning.

00:07:21.800 You talked about pipelines and it not being in the initial list

00:07:25.200 of national interest projects.

00:07:27.720 Daniel Smith, the Alberta Premier, just finished a press conference and was asked about that.

00:07:32.140 And she's still optimistic, Corey.

00:07:34.420 She says these projects can be added at any time and they just need to, you know, get rid of some of the regulatory processes that prevent them,

00:07:45.380 like the tanker ban and the pipeline ban and all that sort of good stuff.

00:07:49.080 So she's still optimistic.

00:07:51.400 Teachers, fresh from their two months off during the summer,

00:07:55.720 have announced October 6th will be the strike date, Monday.

00:07:59.520 That's if they can't reach a negotiated settlement with the province.

00:08:06.000 Province basically said they've offered them 12% over the term of the contract,

00:08:11.340 and if they want any more money,

00:08:13.120 then they can kiss the notion of hiring more teachers goodbye

00:08:15.900 that have one or the other, right?

00:08:17.680 so uh if i was a parent i'd be finding my alternative uh daycare arrangements at this

00:08:24.240 parent should be finding alternative forms of education i mean it is a good point people 0.98

00:08:27.840 gotta be getting sick and be put over the barrel by these teachers yes he said they just have their

00:08:31.280 two months off and when you add it all together they get three months off a year plus a pension

00:08:34.640 plus a six-figure salary and they i've had it with them yeah well you know what it is a tough

00:08:41.840 job i do have some sympathy for them but as you say they're they're paid well uh and they do get

00:08:49.280 all that time off but uh hopefully they can come to an agreement we'll see uh speaking of schools

00:08:56.400 we've got a good story up on a social worker at a calgary catholic school who uh social media is

00:09:03.360 filled with vile anti-semitism uh things like death to the idf and all that sort of good stuff 1.00

00:09:10.000 so she has been currently she's put on leave from the school while they investigate so see what 0.99

00:09:16.320 happens there uh you remember the trans rapist down in ontario uh allegedly raped that poor little 0.92

00:09:25.760 girl he's in court today for his bail hearing uh hundreds and hundreds of people outside the 0.96

00:09:31.440 courtroom uh and protesting the uh the bail conditions in canada and all that sort of stuff

00:09:39.280 so I got to think they're not going to let him out. I would think in this case, I mean,

00:09:43.280 nothing seems to surprise anymore, but that's one of the ones they'll kind of realize,

00:09:47.280 you know, they should realize for the fact that this man is a potentially dangerous monster and

00:09:51.680 might harm somebody, but if not that reason, then at least realize, yes, there's hundreds of people

00:09:56.000 out there and there's hundreds of thousands watching this who are going to lose it if that

00:09:59.440 monster is released. Exactly. Maybe let him on bail and let him walk out into the crowd,

00:10:04.160 see what happens. Yeah, that might take care of things one way or the other.

00:10:08.880 Speaking of bail, Carney was in Edmonton for a full caucus meeting today and he announced

00:10:14.400 the liberals will be bringing in law to make bail harder to get. So we'll see what happens there.

00:10:22.000 So yeah, lots of other stuff and haven't even mentioned Poland. I mean, what are the Russians

00:10:27.120 doing? It's either a huge mistake or they're just sort of probing the NATO defenses.

00:10:33.040 Well, I was talking to Nigel about it. He said, you know, why is anybody really

00:10:35.680 shocked though with i mean russian technology making mistakes potentially i mean you know the

00:10:40.000 whole soviet union couldn't even make a functional alarm clock during their time on the go so maybe

00:10:44.400 it was an error i mean they can't even beat the ukraine why are they trying to provoke nato

00:10:48.720 yeah well we don't need this escalation i don't know it's it's not a peaceful world right now no

00:10:54.800 and we'll obviously keep an eye on the israel situation with the uh the bombing of qatar

00:10:59.920 yesterday so yeah i didn't shed too many tears no unfortunately it only seemed to have killed

00:11:05.840 the son of somebody so didn't get them yeah well get them eventually they'll get them eventually

00:11:12.160 so yeah that's it fun and games in the newsroom cory right on well lots on the go and i see lots

00:12:08.960 So if you've already subscribed again, thank you very much.

00:12:11.680 We really, really do appreciate it.

00:12:17.300 You know, get the bulk buy.

00:12:18.160 It's $100 for a year.

00:12:19.980 It's a good deal.

00:12:20.840 And you don't have to throw it in old newspaper anymore like you used to have to.

00:12:23.480 I see some of the comments. Somebody was asking, yeah, about my charges for doing that video on

00:12:29.540 the Siksika Reserve. Yeah, that's gone on. Just for an update on it, I guess my court date's

00:12:35.420 October 16th. I might have mentioned that before. To my knowledge, they haven't even filed discovery

00:12:40.360 yet, though they were supposed to weeks ago. It's probably going to get tossed out, but who knows

00:12:44.940 in the courts and everything else. But you know me, I'm stubborn and so on, and I will be doing

00:12:49.240 more videos on more reserves because it's my right and it's our land so get over it keep firing the

00:12:54.900 trespassing charges at me for driving on highways i'll just keep doing it but i will update you on

00:12:59.640 something else is uh new yeah um see another commenter saying why is a sylvan lake principle

00:13:05.360 uh not relieved i i'm meaning yeah i'm guessing you mean like like fired or set aside uh because

00:13:11.340 yeah there's a whole battle there i'm going to talk a little bit about that after i've uh talked

00:13:15.140 to mr bolton actually that's quite a scene going on in sylvan lake the western standard kind of

00:13:19.200 broke that. This has all started over the firing of a football coach, a volunteer one, because on

00:13:25.180 his personal social media, he didn't toe the trans line. And it turns out the principal of that 1.00

00:13:31.560 Sylvan Lake School is, as so many in the education system, a woke lunatic. And this battle is going 0.89

00:13:38.280 on now that we got parents and students and the athletes who are on the team pushing back, trying

00:13:43.140 to get their beloved coach back. The principal's been intimidating and pressuring people and pushing

00:13:47.860 back, there was a teacher sending emails to students too, saying, shut up on this issue.

00:13:51.700 So this is still unfolding and the standard is going to be following that closely.

00:13:57.140 You know, they just won't back off. And it's Sylvan Lake. For those who don't know Alberta,

00:14:03.180 this is not good woke territory. This principal, I got a feeling her tenure might not be terribly

00:14:08.880 long at that school. I mean, the way it works, she'll just get transferred to a school

00:14:12.100 elsewhere, I think. But taking a stance on this one, I don't believe is going to work out well

00:14:17.820 for her career as it goes, but it's time to have it out to some of these schools. It's time for

00:14:21.400 the parents to speak up, the students to speak up because it's getting insane. And I'll rant a

00:14:26.080 little more about that a little later. Let's bring in somebody who's mostly sane anyways.

00:14:32.220 John Bolton. I love your videos, John. It's always something to look forward to.

00:14:37.580 You're covering the issues and vocal out there. So thanks for coming on to talk to us today.

00:14:43.160 It's my pleasure. Can you hear me okay?

00:14:45.880 I do.

00:14:46.460 You're coming in great this time.

00:14:48.340 Super.

00:14:49.120 We seem to be kind of cursed.

00:14:50.600 I was worried something might happen to you, you know, before, but everything looks great.

00:14:55.160 Well, I bought a new computer, so we're looking good, Corey.

00:14:57.240 It's great to talk to you.

00:14:58.940 I'm so appreciative of what you do.

00:15:00.420 So thank you so much for having me on.

00:15:02.020 I do appreciate it.

00:15:03.300 Great.

00:15:03.640 Well, it's good timing.

00:15:04.520 You really watch those issues closely, and there's always something going on.

00:15:09.160 But we've got, you know, Parliament resuming next week.

00:15:13.140 uh our our collection of clowns they're they're actually uh the liberals are in alberta right now 0.92

00:15:18.360 of all places there must be some some good high security to avoid that yeah the the rotten fruit 0.96

00:15:24.400 being thrown their way and whatnot yeah uh you know i guess i'll just get you to kind of lay

00:15:29.880 it out what do you think we got to look forward to as the parliament opens this year well you sent

00:15:33.380 me a text message a few days back and said you wanted to talk about parliament and i started

00:15:37.860 thinking about what was coming up i think there are a few things well a lot of things that

00:15:41.260 conservatives aren't going to like. But I was wondering what really had changed since the

00:15:46.660 beginning of the year. I mean, Paulyev certainly has a different riding now. He's in Battle River

00:15:51.200 Crowfoot. He'll actually be in Parliament. He'll be in question period with Mark Carney, which

00:15:55.840 should be interesting because I don't think there are too many people better than Pierre Paulyev

00:15:59.220 when it comes to question period. Paulyev is one of the best at that. And of course, he'll be able

00:16:06.720 to bring up tariffs and maybe the pipelines, which you've discussed as well. But I don't think

00:16:11.100 a hell of a lot has changed. And that's the sad thing about this. We had an election on April 28th.

00:16:15.760 Carney was named the prime minister a month and a half or so before that. But Paulieff is going to

00:16:20.780 bring up the same things that are plaguing Canadians right now. Cost of living, food prices,

00:16:25.760 crime, car theft, the price of homes, young people can never own a home, homelessness, food lines,

00:16:31.200 immigration levels, temporary foreign workers. These are the things that are going to be discussed,

00:16:35.420 which are basically the same things he was discussing in the House of Commons. You could

00:16:38.960 probably go back and download a YouTube video of him. The last time he was in Parliament and

00:16:43.720 question period with Justin Trudeau, put it on ad infinitum, and it would be exactly the same

00:16:49.160 nonsense we're dealing with right now. And it's just a sad state of affairs here in Canada. And

00:16:53.460 just think about it. They're going back into Parliament. And in the whole year, I think

00:16:57.520 Parliament's going to be sitting for 73 days or something like that at the 365. It's disgraceful.

00:17:03.580 Yeah. So looking kind of from the other side, I mean, and we can beat on the Liberals and we

00:17:07.780 certainly will. But I'm wondering if, as you said, you know, Pierre Polyev is very effective

00:17:12.680 as an opposition leader and, you know, really a pit bull in the House of Commons, but that didn't

00:17:18.800 pay off when the election finally came around. Do you think maybe they're going to be trying to

00:17:22.860 take a bit of a different tone with him in the House? I mean, he's certainly going to be on

00:17:26.440 their case. There's no getting around that. But maybe coupling a bit of the opposition and trying

00:17:30.740 to look more like a government in waiting rather than an effective opposition now, a little more

00:17:35.720 of, okay, this is what you're doing wrong, but I think they've got to propose a little more,

00:17:39.320 well, this is what you've got to do to do it right. I don't know that he didn't do that during

00:17:42.940 the election campaign. You go online and you hear the keyboard workers complaining that

00:17:49.180 conservatives are saying Carney just basically stole everything Poliev came up with, whether it

00:17:53.640 came from housing or crime. He had solutions to these problems and being the leader of the

00:17:58.480 opposition, that's his job. I mean, obviously he's going to find, well, he's going to be critical of

00:18:03.240 the government. So how does he change the way people feel about him? I was thinking about this

00:18:11.340 as well when you talked about Parliament, Corey. I think more people voted for Pierre Polyev than

00:18:18.100 voted for Mark Carney in the last election. Because people voted for Pierre Polyev. A lot

00:18:24.060 of people voted for Mark Carney, but they voted against Donald Trump. So I think he has to keep

00:18:29.500 on the straight and narrow the way he was going before

00:18:32.340 because he didn't lose a 20% lead.

00:18:35.920 He'd lost, you know, a lot of the seats

00:18:37.880 came from maybe the Black Cabocloire, the NDP.

00:18:39.840 The NDP only have his seven seats right now.

00:18:42.260 So I think Pierre Polyev continues where he's going.

00:18:45.300 And I think eventually people are going to catch on

00:18:47.380 that things aren't going so well in Canada.

00:18:49.360 I think hard times are ahead for Canadians, real hard.

00:18:52.160 Yeah, well, that's part of it.

00:18:53.780 I mean, Polyev was characterized and framed as such,

00:18:57.040 and it was difficult to break out of that.

00:18:58.440 I remember watching it through the campaign. People say, he's got no policy on this. Well,

00:19:01.700 no, here's a link. There you go. There's an extended policy on it. He's got no policy on

00:19:05.000 that. Well, no, here it is. But we got an issue with legacy media that won't dig a little farther

00:19:10.180 on some of these things too. So he has a harder time cutting through. One of the areas that I

00:19:16.480 would imagine, I mean, it just smells like we're moving towards a disastrous budget. I mean,

00:19:20.700 the absurdity of Kearney saying we've got an austerity budget with investment coming ahead

00:19:26.560 of us what on earth does that mean says we're going to save money and spend money at the same 0.94

00:19:29.980 time we're going to suck and blow uh how bad is this going to be because it's looking pretty bleak 0.92

00:19:35.060 well he he's i think he's changed his tune a little bit but he said spend less invest more 0.97

00:19:39.660 he actually put out some pretty um slick videos on that during the election campaign and everybody

00:19:44.420 just said spending less investing more means spending more money i i think at this point

00:19:48.940 with the way the economy's going right now where we're seeing it already he talked last week about

00:19:55.300 spending billions of dollars for more people on EI. We're going to see more people on EI.

00:19:59.640 They're going to be on EI longer. And the only way to get out of this is to continue to,

00:20:04.300 as George Bernard Shaw said, the politician that robs Peter to pay Paul will always have a friend

00:20:08.980 in Paul. So he's going to continue to spend lots of money and spread it around. He gave what,

00:20:13.000 $370 million to Canola just last week. And this is what you're going to see. It's going to be

00:20:19.480 more deficit spending. I think $92 billion was the suggestion for a deficit this year

00:20:26.540 for Canada. It could be well over $100 billion now that things are really going south in the

00:20:32.960 country. Well, so I mean, in the part with the austerity, you know, he has put down orders

00:20:38.220 saying he's expecting departments to shave and cut. The reality is it's the civil service. It's

00:20:43.320 massive. It's bloated. It's our largest expenditure. Do you think the Kearney government's

00:20:48.560 going to find the courage to cut that i mean they're running out of options well if he cuts

00:20:54.740 at 40 maybe because that's what it grew since 2015 but if he doesn't cut it 40 well here's the

00:21:00.840 thing they they grew the government by 40 and and they spent tens of billions of dollars to hire

00:21:07.600 other people to do work for the government that the 40 extra 40 couldn't do unless he cuts at 40 0.56

00:21:13.440 percent we're going nowhere here i mean this is ridiculous and i mean are your services any better

00:21:19.600 canadians they're not but government always grows um it grew through the pandemic it grows all the

00:21:25.000 time while the rest of us we languish with the cost of living and all the things that pure poly

00:21:30.840 is going to bring up in the upcoming government no he's not going to do what he needs to do cory

00:21:36.660 he's not going to do what he needs to do no yeah and that's concerning because i mean you know if

00:21:42.700 you know, just basic economics, we're going to see a more devaluation of our currency. We're

00:21:46.540 going to see more economic slowdown. We're going to feel pressures. Our cost of living is going

00:21:50.660 to go up. Unemployment is looking bad. One thing they've always relied on or kind of used as a

00:21:56.800 crutch was mass immigration to keep the GDP from dropping into recession levels. That's really the 0.91

00:22:01.840 only reason that hadn't happened during Trudeau's tenure. But now it's even showing a decline. I

00:22:07.200 think it was 1.6% decline in our general GDP. Another big issue that's going to be hitting

00:22:12.020 parliament is immigration uh they have capped some things they've reduced some of the student uh

00:22:17.780 immigrants but are they going to take on the big uh the big ones you know the the tfw's the 1.00

00:22:23.940 the permanent residents or the illegals the refugees so much i mean it's another loaded 1.00

00:22:28.180 issue that they talk a big game but they don't seem to do much on well i think paul i have i

00:22:31.860 mentioned that he's going to talk about that and they'll do what they normally do when it comes to

00:22:35.380 conservatives talking about immigration they'll use the r word and it ends with ist and that's

00:22:40.020 that's what's going to happen here. I think he's talked about, what is it? 5% per capita or

00:22:44.780 something like that for immigration. That's a lot of people. It used to be a little over 3% per

00:22:49.340 capita, and now it's over five. I think it's seven right now, and he wants to bring it down to five.

00:22:53.420 He's not going to really reduce the numbers at all. I like what Paul Yev says. We need some

00:22:56.760 negative immigration for a while and basically cut off the temporary foreign workers. Calgary

00:23:01.980 Nose Hill MP Michelle Rempel-Garner has talked about that, and she's on that like a dog on a

00:23:06.900 own, but we need to, we need to put people to work. We've got 14.6% youth unemployment right

00:23:12.860 now in this country. That's crazy. That's nuts. Yeah. And I mean, when people can't get jobs,

00:23:18.880 when they can't pay the bills, ideology starts to go out the window. And I mean, two things,

00:23:23.920 I think that really turn people on a government, two things people always expect of a government,

00:23:27.980 no matter whether you're left or right, you want to feel safe and you want to be able to pay the

00:23:31.560 bills and, you know, bail reform. Okay. That's one thing, but we need a heck of a lot more than

00:23:36.800 that. We've got some crazy stuff going on in crime with repeat criminals being released.

00:23:42.340 I got a feeling he's going to need to come up with a crime reform bill more than just trying

00:23:46.400 to tweak bail coming into this year, or he's going to face some problems. Well, and the answer

00:23:52.440 to the liberals when it comes to crime is to take guns away from law-abiding citizens. That's

00:23:57.140 generally what they do. Who's the name? What's the name of the justice minister? I've forgotten

00:24:03.940 his name now, but... Frazer. Yeah, Frazer. Yeah, Sean Frazer, who has been an absolute nightmare

00:24:08.400 in any of the portfolios he's held, has basically poo-pooed anything Poliev says about this. Poliev

00:24:16.220 does have solutions to this problem, but the Liberals won't do what needs to be done as things

00:24:20.640 get worse right across the country. Yeah, well, but I mean, that blew up in a PR mess. I mean,

00:24:25.720 the timing, you know, Frazer called it Poliev pushing the Wild West and so on. And then that

00:24:31.000 weekend, there were several horrific, violent crimes that perhaps could have been stopped had

00:24:36.820 there been somebody capable and willing to defend themselves. So I think more citizens are going to

00:24:42.720 just take it upon themselves to defend themselves, no matter what the law says, because it doesn't

00:24:46.040 matter when your family's at risk. And I was talking about this with my wife the other day,

00:24:49.660 and it's a sad thing to say when it comes to basically stand your ground law inside your own

00:24:54.520 house. Nobody's going to be checking a box to figure out if they're using the right proportional

00:24:59.420 proportional when it comes to somebody in your home. But I guess the only thing you can do at

00:25:04.180 this point is somebody's in your home and you don't want to go to jail for defending yourself 0.96

00:25:07.880 in your home is to kill the guy because dead men tell no tales, folks. I mean, I thought he was

00:25:13.040 going to kill me. So that's what I did. But is that where we are in our country right now that

00:25:16.940 we can't defend ourselves in our own homes? I mean, I'm beating the person to within an inch

00:25:21.940 of their lives if they're threatening my wife in this house. That's what I'm doing. And I think 0.93

00:25:25.120 that's what most Canadians are going to do. And who cares about what happens after that? But that's

00:25:29.340 where we are in our country right now. It's absurd, really is. Yeah. And I mean, I think

00:25:34.740 most sane people, I mean, we never want to be in that situation in the first place. And we would,

00:25:39.860 as far as we could tell in the heat of a moment, do what minimum required to make your household

00:25:44.260 safe. But when you don't know the intent of the intruder, that minimum required could be

00:25:48.680 pretty violent, unfortunately. You know, these discussions are going to keep happening every

00:25:54.220 time one of these situations come up, though. I got a feeling that liberals can't hide from this

00:25:58.460 one forever because it really grabs the public interest when these things happen. And they seem

00:26:02.300 to come in trends, you know, or maybe the media is more inclined to watch for them once we see it

00:26:06.260 getting hotter and we're going to speak to it. Corey, there's not a lot of things. I mean, I

00:26:10.300 believe that the government that governs least is best. I mean, that's basically what Ronald

00:26:15.500 Reagan said. But one of the things that government I expect to do is to protect us. Security. And

00:26:21.080 we're not doing a very good job at that, are we? I mean, so certainly there has to be some changes

00:26:26.280 And we'll see what happens. But again, that'll be something, as I mentioned, crime will be something that Paulia brings up in question period. It'll be interesting to see how Carney hums and haws his way through that when that comes up.

00:26:36.580 Yeah, he's that new Mr. Dithers on so many things. Another issue Carney's got to face coming up, and it's definitely brewing is unity. You and I both speak quite a bit on the budding independence movement in Alberta, but something that's really been on a slow boil in Quebec. People have kind of been forgetting about that even since the 90s. But the PQ is leading in Quebec, and they are platforming on open secessionism. They're platforming on holding another referendum. This could be quite something coming up next year.

00:27:04.920 It could be. You know, I've actually heard that the head of the Parti Québécois is in Alberta over the next couple of days and might be meeting with some people with the independence movement out here. I'm not quite sure what they're going to be talking about. Maybe they're trying to get some tips on how to get out of Canada when it comes to Quebec at this point.

00:27:24.260 I don't know that our independence movement is going to be getting advice from Quebec because

00:27:28.480 we don't much like Quebec here in Alberta because so much of our money goes there.

00:27:32.320 But yeah, Canada could be coming apart at the seams right now.

00:27:36.360 There's all this talk about Team Canada and how we have to stick together.

00:27:40.820 But I really believe, Corey, that in order to be a team, you have to have common goals.

00:27:46.900 And how much does Alberta have in common with Quebec now?

00:27:50.360 how much does Alberta have in common with BC or Manitoba or the East Coast? Not a lot. I think

00:27:55.860 we have a lot in common with Saskatchewan. So there's no team Canada right now. And if Alberta

00:28:01.460 decides to leave, it won't be long before the country just falls apart at the seams. And

00:28:05.620 it's really an interesting time right now. And as I've said a number of times, Canada's demise

00:28:11.100 is Alberta's rise. And I believe that. Well, absolutely. I mean, I personally feel,

00:28:16.700 Well, and Conrad Black wrote on that recently, kind of, you know, the nation would just fall apart like dominoes if Alberta pulled out.

00:28:22.960 I think if any province did, one commonality between Alberta and Quebec, even if we have different interests generally, is a distrust and a dislike of the central government in Ottawa.

00:28:33.320 So if we can find that common ground and saying, well, if we can get the government out of our faces on both ends of the country, I think actually there could be some interesting alliances coming together out of that.

00:28:45.380 I have to see what happens. Again, I know that some people in the independence movement are talking to Mr. Plamondon, I believe is his name. I think he's here over the next couple of days. So that'll be interesting to find out what happens. Love to be a fly on the wall in that. Like I'd like to be a fly on the wall. I believe Danielle Smith is meeting with Mark Carney later this afternoon. Boy, I'd like to hear what they're talking about today after the way you opened your show today.

00:29:07.240 Well, that's it. And Premier Smith has put out her, what, nine demands, I believe it was,

00:29:12.220 some months ago and gave kind of a six-month deadline, which we're pretty close to right

00:29:15.740 on the six-month mark now. Yeah, yeah. Within a week, I think. Within a week.

00:29:20.040 She's going to start looking quite weak if Carney doesn't act on some of those things and she 0.94

00:29:25.560 doesn't do something further towards it. I mean, I'm just speculating now. I don't believe Premier

00:29:31.080 Smith is a separatist, but I think she wants to see a referendum held. That would dominate 1.00

00:29:39.140 the new scroll for a year. It would bring that issue to a four. And even if she's not an 0.94

00:29:45.460 independent supporter, I mean, I'm just talking politically and I'm purely speculating. It would

00:29:49.560 be gold for her if we came out and had an independence referendum and 40% of Albertans 0.65

00:29:53.440 say they want to go because boy, the leverage she would have the day after that to say how this,

00:29:57.980 We've got to stop it from turning to 50%.

00:29:59.980 This is what you guys have to do.

00:30:02.480 Yeah.

00:30:03.160 Again, kind of the way Quebec's been, you know, using, leaving for many years to get

00:30:09.140 what they want as well.

00:30:10.080 I think that's what she's been trying to do.

00:30:11.340 You have to hand it to the liberals.

00:30:12.720 I have to say it.

00:30:13.360 They expertly denied Alberta Pipeline through their consensus.

00:30:18.460 You know, you're never going to get a consensus when it comes to the provinces.

00:30:21.220 You're never going to get a consensus when it comes to Aboriginals here.

00:30:24.600 he waited out the clock on Daniel Smith and her demands. And you mentioned it in your opening

00:30:29.480 here that who's going to invest in this province if all of those laws are in place. And then he

00:30:34.040 created a law around the laws, Bill C-5, so he could decide what gets built in the country

00:30:39.180 and decide what gets done. So they played it out really well. I mean, it's pretty smart what he's

00:30:45.880 done here because he can just basically deny that he had anything to do with this. But

00:30:49.600 I was thinking about this when I saw Pierre Polyev's tweet this morning and they talked about

00:30:53.940 no pipelines being in the major projects. And then the CBC actually wrote a story on it as well. And

00:31:00.580 I'm asking Danielle Smith, call a referendum. Call a referendum, for goodness sakes, Premier. 1.00

00:31:05.880 I'm concerned. I don't want to get too much into this or whether you want to go here. But I'm

00:31:09.840 concerned we're going to get denied with our question in October because this has gone to

00:31:13.480 the courts. And what are we going to do when that happens? I think the Premier needs to call a

00:31:17.580 referendum. I would suggest we do it on July 2nd next year. I think it's a Tuesday or I think it's

00:31:22.200 Tuesday, maybe a Thursday, the day after Canada Day. That way we can declare our independence the

00:31:27.560 day after Canada Day. And every year we can celebrate the fact that Canada has basically

00:31:34.380 broken up the day after their day, their big day every year, because I think we need a referendum

00:31:39.840 here. And I think she needs to call it and not wait for all the signatures and all that kind of 0.89

00:31:44.520 stuff. I want to see a referendum called. I do. Because we're not going to get what we want. We're

00:31:48.780 not going to get a pipeline, like you said, in your opening, or it's not going to happen.

00:31:52.740 And I'm with you in thought as an individual, but I also look at things as a guy who, you know,

00:31:56.760 worked in the political parties for quite some time and seeing some of the tactics that they

00:32:00.260 said, I think she wants it, but she doesn't want to look like it's on her hand. So her preference

00:32:04.100 would be that the courts allow the petitioning to happen and she'll say, well, the citizens did it.

00:32:08.360 But if the courts won't allow that, then it's time for her to facilitate the referendum. And 1.00

00:32:13.300 that's it. As you said, she's got to call it. I'm looking at the calendar because I believe

00:32:17.220 we're just a little over two years away from an election so if it gets turned down which i think

00:32:22.260 is a perfectly reasonable question that the app has put together if it gets turned down in october

00:32:28.260 then we start this process all over again and we could be going within a few months of an election

00:32:33.380 maybe into a referendum and i don't know that she wants to do that if she could do a referendum 1.00

00:32:37.780 say early in the middle of next year at least she's got a buffer period between maybe a no vote

00:32:44.420 and they won't be able to use that against her

00:32:46.740 as the election comes in, I believe, October

00:32:48.340 2027. So, I'm just looking at it from

00:32:50.500 that, because she needs a win right now. 1.00

00:32:52.500 She really needs a win. 1.00

00:32:54.080 I think she'd want to see it sooner rather than later

00:32:56.440 and not want to get overlapping with

00:32:58.080 her own campaign. The other thing

00:33:00.400 that will be interesting, it's got to be running through the judge's

00:33:02.600 mind a little bit. If he rules against the

00:33:04.380 referendum, he's also signaling

00:33:06.060 to Quebec that they're not allowed to go either.

00:33:08.480 And I, you know, they don't

00:33:10.360 care about snubbing Alberta, but 0.76

00:33:12.400 they think twice when it comes to telling Quebec

00:33:14.320 And I don't think Quebec will respond very well to that either.

00:33:17.220 No, I don't think so.

00:33:18.340 You know, it's funny because I don't know that I mentioned this to you.

00:33:20.700 Back in 95, I was living in Cornwall, Ontario, which is in Eastern Ontario, an hour from Ottawa, an hour from Montreal.

00:33:27.020 And I actually went to the big get-together in downtown Montreal back then, just prior to the referendum then, which was very, very close.

00:33:37.020 I remember watching it that night.

00:33:38.400 I would never do that today.

00:33:40.100 I don't care if Quebec goes at this point.

00:33:44.320 But, but yeah, I think, I don't think that they would, I don't think Quebec would even care what the federal government says. They do what they want. They get what they want because they've had this leverage over the government for so long. And of course, they're vote rich out there. We're not vote rich out here in Alberta.

00:33:59.300 yeah so i mean we've got to take on more of their what you're going to do about it attitude

00:34:04.000 well the time went quick because there is a lot to cover i mean as the session's coming hopefully

00:34:08.200 we can uh touch base again you know maybe as the session gets rolling and then dig into this a

00:34:12.960 little more uh before i let you go though as i said your youtube channel is fantastic i love the

00:34:18.700 hat there and and of course your your well-known big blue mug oh we got app going on as well we

00:34:24.340 We don't have to wonder where you're coming from.

00:34:27.900 Where can people keep up with your stuff?

00:34:29.780 You got regular content coming out all the time.

00:34:32.200 Well, if they go to YouTube and they put at John Bolton AB, they'll find me.

00:34:37.840 Right on.

00:34:38.760 All right.

00:34:39.340 Well, thank you very much for coming on today.

00:34:41.840 No disasters, no problems.

00:34:43.140 We got it through perfectly.

00:34:44.620 And it was excellent.

00:34:45.420 I was looking forward to the conversation.

00:34:46.760 So I look forward to more of your commentary and hope we can talk again soon.

00:34:50.840 Thanks for inviting me, Corey.

00:34:51.940 You have a great day.

00:34:52.580 Go to Corey's YouTube channel if you're not sure about what's going on when it

00:34:56.660 comes to the independence movement out here,

00:34:58.300 because it's just a wealth of knowledge. It really is.

00:35:01.180 Yeah. Well, we both like going on on that one. All right, John.

00:35:04.600 Thank you.

00:35:04.980 We'll talk again soon.

00:35:06.020 Yeah. Bye-bye.

00:35:06.940 Bye. So yeah, one more time, you guys, John Bolton,

00:35:10.000 AB look it up there on YouTube and he's on X and other areas and everything,

00:35:14.320 but good commentary and regular content.

00:35:16.780 And he gets up in an ungodly early hour in the morning,

00:35:19.440 which is good though, because you can get that content first thing in the morning and really get

00:35:23.340 some up-to-date stuff to start your day. But yeah, these justice issues just keep piling up,

00:35:29.360 you know, and talking about the self-defense thing and things like that. Like, I'm not some

00:35:32.680 tough guy. I see some of those debates, you know, people coming, oh, you're just some tough talking

00:35:36.360 internet guy. No, I'm not. And that's the difference. I'm not some MMA fighter or something.

00:35:42.000 If some guy breaks into my house, I'm not going to try and put him in a headlock and restrain him.

00:35:46.640 I can't. I mean, I'm not a total 98 pound weakling, but I'm also not capable of taking on

00:35:53.720 some crazed tattoo meth loaded intruder. So chances are I'll take advantage of whatever

00:35:59.980 household things I may have to, to make sure my home is safe. And that might be what is

00:36:06.020 determined later to be above and beyond which was supposed to be used. I don't know. And we

00:36:09.980 shouldn't have to try and make those decisions in a heartbeat. I mean, I live on an acreage. I live

00:36:13.980 rural. And I was very active during the Eddie Maurice situation where he got charged for

00:36:19.060 defending his child in his house with a 22. And the police response times in our area on average

00:36:25.280 40 minutes. I can't sit in my house for 40 minutes whilst there's an invader in there

00:36:31.300 and hope that this invader just wants to steal a few things and, you know, not rape and kill us.

00:36:38.760 So more and more people are making these decisions or being forced to make these decisions

00:36:43.700 because we're letting repeat dangerous, horrific criminals out when we really shouldn't be.

00:36:51.040 Here's an interesting one. And, you know, I'll give a positive out to somebody on a negative

00:36:55.200 issue. The Edmonton police have put out a letter and they're objecting openly. The police usually

00:37:01.640 stay out of the courts, you know, like as far as telling them what to do. But there's a plea deal

00:37:06.880 for a woman who murdered, it looks like, an eight-year-old girl. This was the stepmother 0.97

00:37:11.960 of the eight-year-old girl. And the Edmonton Police Service has said that if this plea

00:37:17.160 agreement goes through, it looks like this woman would only get eight years or six years, 1.00

00:37:23.200 I think it is, for murdering this little girl. And the police have said it would be a miscarriage

00:37:28.440 of justice. And they're asking for provincial intervention. On top of that, there were four

00:37:34.780 men charged with the accessory and murder and indignity of human remains. So after they murdered

00:37:38.700 the little girl, they allegedly put her in a hockey bag and took her down to the Sampson Louisville

00:37:44.960 Reserve. This is one of the things that keeps coming down to that people are afraid to talk

00:37:50.140 about too, is the Indigenous factor. We've got to face that sensitive but real issue head-on,

00:37:56.940 particularly with these kids, with kids in general. We had a case in Alberta recently, again,

00:38:03.380 to Indigenous parents. They boiled their toddler to death, starved it, tortured it. 1.00

00:38:12.060 They referred to this toddler as a meal ticket in their texts that went before the courts.

00:38:18.280 They had lost the child multiple times, you know, to social services, but they keep giving the child

00:38:23.380 back because everybody's still all worked up over the 60 scoop. You know, there was the 60 scoop

00:38:29.840 when a lot of social services came in and seized children from First Nations families.

00:38:35.080 But the problem was they were living in conditions where the children were at terrible risk,

00:38:39.380 whether from substance abuse, other social problems, trouble in general. But it's made

00:38:44.480 the government flip all the way over the other way where they will bend over backwards to put

00:38:48.880 an Indigenous child back in the hands of the family, no matter how dangerous that family may be. 1.00

00:38:53.700 uh liberal senator paula simons was a journalist that was one of her

00:38:58.620 main stories she covered was uh it's referred to because they don't give the identities baby

00:39:05.200 serenity again a first nations child who was constantly abused this poor little girl

00:39:09.820 and uh they just kept giving the girl back to family members and she was abused and finally

00:39:15.720 killed and murdered terribly and uh the charges that came to the the guardians who did that to

00:39:21.740 her. Got five-year penalty. You know, these ones that boiled their child to death, six-year 1.00

00:39:28.680 sentence. They're going to be out soon and they're young, so they'll be able to breed again and

00:39:31.900 torture another child to death again. Guys, making exceptions in these Indigenous cases has got to 1.00

00:39:40.000 stop. This case of, Dave mentioned it earlier, the bail hearing for that child rapist out in

00:39:46.300 Eastern Canada. He also, if his people were wondering, well, that guy raped a 12-year-old 0.88

00:39:51.640 as well. Why was he released after such a little time? Well, you also look, he's not just claiming

00:39:54.940 to be trans to trying to get into a woman's prison. He's Indigenous. You know, look up GLADU rulings. 0.99

00:40:02.920 It's where the judges are instructed to give light sentences to Indigenous offenders.

00:40:07.080 Now, I don't want to turn the discussion to saying that Indigenous people are inherently

00:40:11.160 violent or criminal. No, no. The discussion's a lot bigger than that. It's not that. It's that

00:40:17.940 we've got this social circumstance that we created in Canada with these reserves where we've

00:40:22.660 segregated people based on race and have them sitting as complete dependence on the state 0.95

00:40:26.560 in socioeconomic ghettos. And they turn out that way. It doesn't matter which race. You take any 0.83

00:40:33.460 race and stick them in those circumstances and you're going to have very, very troubled people

00:40:38.560 coming out of it. And we're really paying for that. Everybody is. Everybody's losing. There's

00:40:43.340 no winner in this. But we got to have some blunt speaking because these cases keep coming up again

00:40:50.680 and again and again. And that common denominator keeps coming up. So no, I'm not looking at

00:40:55.400 faulting Indigenous people. I'm faulting our policies regarding Indigenous people. They're 1.00

00:41:00.220 failing catastrophically in the worst possible ways. Children are literally paying the price

00:41:06.820 being murdered, raped, and tortured to death by Indigenous offenders. 0.98

00:41:11.600 And no, not all Indigenous people. 0.95

00:41:13.580 I know that people, as even John talked about, the R word is going to come out.

00:41:17.800 No.

00:41:19.160 But you've got to face some realities, too, because these aren't happening

00:41:21.960 in other identifiable cultural groups within Canada.

00:41:24.880 So let's look at the bottom of the problem, and it's our system. 1.00

00:41:29.020 It's this stupidity, this ridiculousness, this thinking that apartheid can work. 1.00

00:41:34.020 And it doesn't. 1.00

00:41:35.440 And this is what we see is these awful, awful cases and children just suffering.

00:41:40.760 I've said it before.

00:41:42.140 If I really actually, because I get accused of that when I go out and video reserves and show the conditions.

00:41:47.720 And when I talk about these things and I write calls, you hate indigenous people.

00:41:50.980 No, I don't.

00:41:51.840 If I really hated indigenous people and wanted to wish the worst honor, the worst possible fate I could think of, it would be to keep them under the current system. 1.00

00:42:00.140 That's the worst possible thing I could do to those people there. 0.63

00:42:04.500 No, I'm railing against the system because I do care, because I'm sick of watching human waste like this. Good people in impossible circumstances, in isolated areas, fed a bunch of crap, and then turning out like this with crime, health issues, low education, you name it.

00:42:25.860 by every single measure it's failing yet yet our system can't seem to admit it

00:42:33.140 uh so yeah i was talking again a bit before i'll kind of turn the page a bit away from that

00:42:37.300 uh we were talking about and speaking of trans i mean another issue a hot button people are

00:42:42.580 terrified of and uh that that was the whole thing going on in sylvan lake was a uh a teacher or a

00:42:53.060 volunteer football coach, like I said, wrote on his personal thing that he doesn't support some

00:42:58.600 of the trans ideology and things. I mean, that's the stuff they're going after Daniel Smith for

00:43:02.600 right now too. So he got fired. This principle, the battle's going on. I'm kind of happy for it

00:43:06.660 in a sense. I feel for the kids who are caught in the middle who just want to play football,

00:43:09.740 but we need to have it out on some of these things. Let's have it out then.

00:43:14.660 The thing that the coach really got in trouble for, I guess, was a TikTok video of his own on 1.00

00:43:19.140 personal thing where he said, boys have penises, girls have vaginas. If you remember from an old 1.00

00:43:23.800 kindergarten cop, I think it was, there was a kid who said that in a movie with Arnold Schwartz

00:43:27.540 in a three years ago. That statement alone is enough to get you fired. That statement of

00:43:32.940 biological reality will get you fired. The mass media, you know, the mainstream media, the legacy 0.75

00:43:42.540 media, the way they're on, again, the Smith government, we're talking education, this whole

00:43:46.300 mess. One of the things that she's brought in too is basically saying boys can't play in the 1.00

00:43:51.680 girls' sports. And unfortunately, due to activists and idiots, we have to now make them a test so we 0.99

00:43:57.160 can prove that they're not trying to sneak through. Whose fault is that? It's not an 1.00

00:44:01.440 unreasonable request. I watched a woman get the hell beat out of her by a man, and they called 0.99

00:44:05.880 it an Olympic sport the other year. It was disgusting. There are physiological differences, 0.98

00:44:11.560 realities. That's why the sexes have been separated in physical sports since sports began. 1.00

00:44:18.880 And now we're trying to fight reality where to the point where a person can be fired 1.00

00:44:23.860 for saying the reality that boys have penises and girls have vaginas. 1.00

00:44:29.180 What world are we getting into? So yes, we need these fights. We need them to break out. 1.00

00:44:32.940 We need these unions to be taken on. So it looks like the teachers are going on strike in Alberta.

00:44:36.560 Yeah, they're offered a 12% raise, offered to get 3,000 more teachers. Again,

00:44:40.740 Yes, as Dave said, they have a hard job, but let's face it, guys, they got a gold-plated pension.

00:44:45.800 They get three months off a year when you add it all up together.

00:44:48.360 They get more sick days and benefits than anybody can ever dream of.

00:44:53.540 So what does it take?

00:44:56.840 When's it enough?

00:44:58.300 Well, it's time for a voucher system.

00:45:01.280 It's time to let parents choose.

00:45:02.420 It's time to have a variety of educational options, more of them.

00:45:06.280 I want to see more charter schools.

00:45:07.500 I want to see more private schools. And you know what? With the competition and a voucher system,

00:45:14.540 the public schools won't go away. They won't turn into ghettos. They'll improve because they'll have

00:45:18.280 to because they'll be competing for those dollars to get the kids into them. So let's have these

00:45:23.040 fights, guys. Thank you, Premier Smith. You don't do everything right and everything perfectly,

00:45:27.040 but at least you're taking a stance on education. You're not taking the crap from a lot of things

00:45:30.900 and you're not taking it from these teachers, it sounds like at this point, because again, 0.98

00:45:33.980 it's time to stand them down. Quit having them hold parents for hostage. Quit letting them

00:45:38.900 facilitate this absurdity of trans ideology and having porn on the shelves and have media call 0.91

00:45:47.280 it a book ban when you try to get rid of it. This is how nuts the world has gotten. Premier Smith 0.65

00:45:51.720 might be many things, but she's more sane than most of the people out there right now, the

00:45:56.520 activists, the media, and the rest. So she's standing between them and your kids, and I

00:46:01.180 I have nothing but appreciation for it. All right. Well, that's what I got today, guys. Lots to go

00:46:06.300 on about. There was a bit more, but I think as much as I can cover in my time slot. So thank you

00:46:11.360 all very much for tuning in today. The pipeline is going to be on tonight. We'll break down

00:46:15.340 a few more of those issues and keep subscribing to those Western channels, Western Standard

00:46:20.800 channels, sharing them. Nigel Hannaford has his show. We can cover the news. The legacy media

00:46:25.320 won't give you the straight goods. We will. So thank you all for tuning in. We'll see you next

00:46:29.580 week at the same time.

00:46:59.580 You
