Western Standard - Trudeau has his eye on your home equity

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 Thank you.

00:01:29.980 Thank you.

00:01:31.980 Thank you.

00:01:33.980 Thank you.

00:02:03.980 Thank you.

00:02:05.980 Thank you.

00:02:07.980 Thank you.

00:02:09.980 Thank you.

00:02:11.980 Mr. Rustad about that and see how things are going for a party that's kind of rebuilding from next to

00:02:17.200 nothing. As well, yeah, use that comment scroll. I see you guys checking in there, Mr. Stanley,

00:02:23.820 Jordan, Paradoxy, James. It's good to see that. This is live, Jackie. Get those comments,

00:02:29.100 questions out there. Send them my way. I see them all. I don't necessarily read them all out,

00:02:33.920 but they are important. It keeps things rolling and, you know, you guys think of things to ask

00:02:37.640 that I hadn't thought of before. So I'm going to get off to what the start of, yeah, you know,

00:02:43.640 the subject of this show has been. And what I was hinting at, I mean, there was a recent press

00:02:48.880 conference with Trudeau and I was just, I'm not even floored by him anymore. So in listening to him,

00:02:54.160 I had to write this up. I mean, as national support for the Trudeau liberals continues to plummet,

00:02:59.260 Trudeau has become even more unprincipled than ever. And yeah, he was already pretty low

00:03:03.380 while desperation is settling in. The term unhinged, I mean, is often applied to his

00:03:07.980 behavior and actions lately. I mean, he's getting out right weird under the pressure.

00:03:11.500 Now he's hinting at going after the assets of older Canadians in a wealth redistribution scheme 0.83

00:03:16.220 that could tear the nation to shreds. It's becoming undeniable. His eye is turning towards

00:03:20.780 the capital tied up in individual home ownership, and he wants a piece of it. So at a recent press

00:03:26.400 event, he was asked about his capital gains tax hike, and he hit a new low as he tried to stoke

00:03:31.220 intergenerational division and envy. I mean, his last desperate hope in maintaining power in the

00:03:36.280 next general election is to somehow regain the support of younger Canadians who fled supporting

00:03:41.100 the Liberal Party. The rising cost of living has been hammering everybody, but it's been

00:03:45.040 particularly tough on young people. Many economic pressures have been exacerbated due to years of

00:03:50.480 terrible policies, you know, under the Liberals from government debt, high taxes, low productivity,

00:03:56.380 mass immigration, of course. The dream of home ownership for most young Canadians has been shattered. 0.81

00:04:01.220 But rather than try and fix the problems of his own creation, Trudeau's trying to shift the blame

00:04:05.280 to Canada's older generation and the wealth they've accumulated over a lifetime of work.

00:04:11.160 But hey, don't take my word for it. Let's listen to the words of Trudeau on his own,

00:04:14.660 or at least I'll read them out. He said, older generations whose money works for them 0.80

00:04:18.460 rather than working hard as young people are. Like this is what he was talking about. He's going

00:04:23.080 after those older generations who are just sitting on mounds of money and not working. They're lazy,

00:04:27.160 they're slothful, while young people are working enslaving. That's what he's saying. He's implying 0.95

00:04:31.360 the older Canadians are living the high life on the backs of younger working Canadians. 0.95

00:04:35.300 He overlooks the reality that most of the people who currently have savings or home equity gain

00:04:38.500 them through working their asses off and living responsibly for decades of their lives. But he

00:04:43.140 wants to fuel the fires of envy. And he hopes that young people will become angry at prior

00:04:47.860 generations rather than at him. The hypocrisy and irony are pretty outstanding in this tactic. I mean,

00:04:53.440 it's being used by a trust fund baby who likely has never bought his own groceries in his life,

00:04:57.140 much less had to worry about buying a home, paying rent or saving for retirement. But he didn't stop

00:05:01.760 there. You know, Trudeau went on to say he wants to somehow tilt the economy to favor a different

00:05:06.340 generation. And again, these are his words. He said he wants to make sure people who have done the best

00:05:11.320 over the past years in a society and an economy that's tilted slightly towards them actually gets

00:05:16.240 retilted towards young people. I know it's an awkward word salad. Again, remember, it's Trudeau. This guy's

00:05:20.360 brain damaged. But basically, he's saying he wants to retilt the economy to fit a certain age 0.96

00:05:25.860 demographic. Well, how do you do that? He's hinting at a massive wealth redistribution scheme.

00:05:30.880 The subject at hand is his capital gains tax hike. But even Trudeau must know it won't raise

00:05:35.520 him the sort of funds he wants. Capital gains taxes are proven economy killers. They never bring

00:05:40.360 in the revenue that proponents expect. There is a giant pool of capital out there, though. And it's

00:05:45.280 hanging like a plum and it's teasing and tempting the spendthrift prime minister. That pool is the home

00:05:50.220 equity of mature Canadians. If he could just tap it, he'd be able to spend hundreds of billions

00:05:54.640 trying to bind the electoral love of young Canadians. The Liberal government's been poking

00:05:59.120 around the notion of taxing equity of primary households for years. The CMHC is a branch of the

00:06:04.060 government, and it's repeatedly commissioned studies on how to tax the home equity of Canadian

00:06:08.960 residences, the primary residences. They've given hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to an activist 0.89

00:06:13.600 named Paul Kershaw, who's been lobbying for a home equity tax for years. Kershaw referred to

00:06:18.780 homeowners as lottery winners who didn't earn their wealth. Yeah, he plays right into those

00:06:23.960 politics of envy. Trudeau liked Kershaw's work so much, he invited Kershaw to speak at a Liberal

00:06:29.440 Cabinet retreat on Prince Edward Island last August. I mean, Kershaw is only a one-trick pony on this

00:06:34.500 issue. The only reason you would have him speak to your cabinet is to try and sell the cabinet on the

00:06:38.200 merits of a home equity tax. Guys, when there's smoke, there's fire. It would appear to be political

00:06:43.900 suicide for the Trudeau Liberals to enrage homeowners by making a grab for their equity.

00:06:48.060 But it has to remember the Liberal reign is already terminal in the polls. If they don't do something

00:06:52.940 radical, they face electoral obliteration. They have nothing to lose, and nothing's more dangerous

00:06:57.440 than an animal when it's cornered. Trudeau's twitchy second-in-command, Chrystia Freeland,

00:07:02.080 mused about unleashing the massive mountain of excess cash. Those are her words in Canadian households 1.00

00:07:06.960 during a BNN interview. Again, was an equity tax she's hinting at? Creating intergenerational angst

00:07:13.400 is a vulgar way to try and retain power. Yet Trudeau's going there without hesitation. Don't

00:07:18.160 think he's desperate and deranged. If you don't think he's desperate and deranged enough to go

00:07:23.020 after the home equity of Canadians, just watch him. Think of that old quote, an evil man will burn

00:07:28.440 his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes. It's misattributed to Sun Tzu, but no one knows

00:07:33.820 quite who said it, but I mean, it's valid, and it's a good one, and it really does apply. Hang on,

00:07:38.320 folks. He's coming for it. All right, let's see what else is going on out there in the news. I got

00:07:42.420 that out of my system. And talk to our news editor, Dave Naylor. Oh, there he is. How's it going, Dave?

00:07:48.020 It's going well, Corey. How are you? All right. Good. Did you lose any trees out at the

00:07:52.680 Perdus compound with that huge wind last day or two? You know, the wind didn't do it, but a whole bunch of

00:07:58.320 them came down when the snow did last week. So yeah, I've had a lot of chainsaw work to go

00:08:01.920 lately. It really reaped havoc on our forest out there. Yeah, it's a shame. Hey, I just had a

00:08:07.600 chance to look through your new book. Congratulations. It looks fantastic. Oh, thanks.

00:08:12.840 Yeah, it was a labor of love, I tell you. You know, speaking of Trudeau, just he has so many

00:08:17.960 brilliant quotes out there. I figured somebody's got to document these, you know, sooner rather than

00:08:23.440 later so everybody can enjoy everything that Justin said over the last 15 years. Oh, when does it go on

00:08:27.760 sale? That's already on sale, actually. Yeah, it's up on Amazon. It's called Moistly Speaking.

00:08:34.580 All right. Shameless plug over. Shall we move on with the headlines? Sure. Let's get on with that.

00:08:39.280 Thanks. We got some good stuff on the website this morning, Corey. We're leading off with your show,

00:08:46.140 of course, but right underneath it, we've got a strange admission from presidential candidate

00:08:51.420 RFK. He says a worm, a part of his brain. I guess I could explain some of his actions, but the story's 0.95

00:09:00.380 there for your enjoyment. Elon Musk has piped in with an online conversation with Canadian psychologist

00:09:08.560 Jordan Peterson. They're talking about the Trudeau Online's Harm Act, and Elon Musk described it as

00:09:15.080 absolutely insane. So he knows what he's talking about, I think, there. It's back to the future for

00:09:22.540 future to the back for Calgary Retirement Home. They're bringing back COVID-19 restrictions after

00:09:29.700 an outbreak there. They've got three of their residents being found to have coronavirus, and

00:09:36.820 they're bringing back the heavy rules, masking and all that sort of good stuff. Everybody's favorite

00:09:43.640 environment minister, Stephen Gilboa, has now decided he's going to target truckers and the

00:09:49.960 emission from the trucks. They not only keep the country running, but they do provide a good amount

00:09:57.600 of emissions, and Gilboa is going to target them. So God help them in the future. Still the top story

00:10:06.660 on the website and has been for the last 18-19 hours is the fact AstraZeneca withdrew their COVID-19

00:10:15.100 vaccine because it was causing injuries, basically. So that's got everybody up in arms and wondering

00:10:24.480 about the safety of their injections. We've got a good column from respected University of Calgary

00:10:32.300 Economist Jack Mintz on some unfair rules about taxation. And the head of the CBC yesterday was

00:10:42.060 in front of a committee and of the Commons and was accused of basically lying about CBC bonuses and

00:10:48.860 trying to cover them up. And the last piece of political news I'll leave you with, Corey, is

00:10:53.860 the NDP is back pushing their universal basic income. It's only a program that would cost $88

00:11:00.800 billion a year. So you know what? Trudeau's so nuts these days, he may go for it. And the

00:11:08.620 governor of Alberta has just appointed a new ethics commissioner. Check back in the site in about five

00:11:13.220 minutes and you'll find out who it is.

00:11:14.620 Right on. Well, don't check back in five minutes, guys. Wait till after the show. It'll still be up there.

00:11:20.760 I got a lot of ranting and turning your ear. But thanks, Dave. Appreciate the update. I'll see you

00:11:25.860 after the show. Thanks, Corey. Right on. That is our news editor, Dave Naylor. As you see loads and

00:11:30.940 loads of stories from all sorts of people up there. And this one I like to remind you guys, the reason

00:11:35.760 we can do that is because you guys have been subscribing. We don't take tax dollars. We pride

00:11:41.480 ourselves on that and it allows us to stay independent. So if you haven't subscribed yet, get on there,

00:11:46.300 guys. Westernstandard.news slash subscription. Take out a membership. It's

00:11:50.620 $10 a month, $100 for a year. Again, just like a newspaper subscription. And it's even better in

00:11:56.160 the old days of newspapers. I mean, we update this stuff as it happens. As Dave said, stuff's coming up

00:12:00.560 in five minutes there. So if you haven't subscribed yet, get on there and take care of it, guys. Or

00:12:05.020 share it with other people. Get them to subscribe. Let's keep independent media going. If you've

00:12:08.320 already subscribed, thank you very much. I really do appreciate it, of course. And that is really the

00:12:14.080 top story. You know, all these years, AstraZeneca now admitting, oh, yeah, I guess the vaccine perhaps is a

00:12:21.440 little dangerous. Perhaps it's hurting more people than it's helping. I mean, you don't pull it off the

00:12:25.660 market. Unless you got a pretty good idea. It's not performing how you would like to say the very

00:12:31.620 least. And proving a lot of people right who had misgivings when this was rushed through during the

00:12:38.020 periods of COVID. You know, the damage done, just by the authoritarian approach to COVID, the way they

00:12:45.660 shoved it down everybody's throats. It's funny, people get upset with me because I made no bones

00:12:49.880 about it. I was traveling to the States. I went out, I got vaccinated. I got two of them. Never

00:12:53.820 brought her with the boosters after that, but I got my minimum. I was always, though, always against

00:13:00.000 mandates, against pressuring people, whether employers pressuring people, or whether it was schools,

00:13:06.560 or whether forcing people to show a passport to get into a place of business or a restaurant,

00:13:10.700 always heavily opposed to that. Because coerced consent isn't consent. You know, this debate we

00:13:18.500 still have to this day, unfortunately, but it's the truth. Yeah, sure, a person could say no. But some

00:13:24.640 person to say no to a vaccine they might not want to have could entail losing your job, losing the ability

00:13:30.640 to travel, losing the ability for your children to participate in some sports, being socially ostracized.

00:13:36.340 I mean, they really played that up a lot, didn't they? Not being able to go out to restaurants.

00:13:41.720 No, that's not consent, guys. And it's funny when you talk about the pressures employers can put on

00:13:46.460 employees. You know, you don't get any more personal than a medical procedure. And let's talk about

00:13:52.000 medical procedures. I mean, one is abortion, right? Some people have some very strong views on that one

00:13:55.620 on one side or another. What if it was an employer who was one side or another who wanted to know the

00:14:00.160 health status of their female employees, and felt that that employer should be able to fire one of

00:14:06.560 those female employees, whether they made a choice one way or another when it came to an abortion? 1.00

00:14:10.760 Well, people would be outraged. Well, I don't think getting a vaccination is necessarily as intrusive

00:14:17.680 or personal as determining the fate of a baby. But it's the same principle, guys. I mean, that's not

00:14:23.820 consent. That's not a way to do things. And now it's caught up. And now the backfiring, the thing

00:14:28.800 that I'm kind of upset about, we're hearing about whooping cough coming back up again, measles,

00:14:33.820 you know, vaccinations that we knew were effective, and were safe enough prior to all this. But the

00:14:38.980 problem is, the way the government dealt with it, the way the authoritarians came down on people,

00:14:43.960 trust was shattered. And now we have people not vaccinating their children with known

00:14:48.460 safe vaccines. And we're getting the vaccination numbers are lower than ever for people choosing

00:14:53.960 not to. And kids are going to suffer, they're going to get things like mumps and that that we

00:14:58.080 just didn't need to get anymore. And again, it's due to governments breaking the trust. If you don't

00:15:05.260 have faith in the government to push you the right way when it comes to encourage you when it comes to

00:15:10.080 medical choices, you're not going to listen to them any longer. So yeah, seeing AstraZeneca backing off

00:15:16.080 on this now finding out that perhaps the harm is more dangerous than the benefit of that vaccine,

00:15:21.960 people are really, really going to be strongly reevaluating things. And again, it was pushed

00:15:26.640 down people. Paradox is saying, yeah, he lost his job twice for refusing to get any jabs that we lost

00:15:31.760 people in the military. We've had Mike on to talk about that a couple of times. It just cornered people

00:15:38.340 we had health care workers, of course, who lost their positions and jobs, because they refused to take

00:15:45.720 part in that. And it's just not, not right. All right, so let's get on. And I'm looking forward

00:15:51.240 to this. I haven't for a while. As I said, we don't talk about BC nearly enough. They're our next door

00:15:54.800 neighbor. They have a lot of fantastic conservative people over there. And they have some of the most

00:16:00.280 interesting, if unpredictable politics in the country they always have. I mean, it's just been

00:16:07.280 something to watch. And now it looks like we're going to see some potentially really positive change

00:16:11.860 coming out of BC. And it's through the Conservative Party of BC. So let's talk to their leader, John

00:16:20.540 Rustad, and see what's going on over there. Hello, Mr. Rustad. Thank you very much for joining us today.

00:16:25.160 Well, thanks for having me on today.

00:16:27.320 So as I was kind of saying on the way in, I mean, a lot of our listeners are already familiar with what's

00:16:33.160 happening over there, but a lot aren't. The Conservative Party of BC has been around for a long, long time.

00:16:38.960 But it's only in recent history where you guys have sort of brought it into, you know,

00:16:44.920 viability again. In fact, you're actually looking to be leading in the polls in BC now.

00:16:50.320 Yeah, the Conservative Party of British Columbia has been around since 1903 and governed for many

00:16:55.240 years, but it hasn't formed a government since 1927. And it hasn't elected anybody in British

00:17:00.160 Columbia since the 1970s. So it's been a party that's been in wilderness a very long time.

00:17:04.760 But what we're seeing in British Columbia, since 1991, we've had 16 years of BC Liberal and 17 years

00:17:10.860 of NDP. And people are looking for change. They're looking for a different approach in British

00:17:14.620 Columbia. And that's what the Conservative Party of British Columbia is providing them with.

00:17:19.100 So BC United is sort of, well, it's where a lot of you within the Conservative Party now came from.

00:17:25.700 There's been sort of a rift and I guess a regrowth in it. I'm very familiar with that. I was very active

00:17:30.000 in the Wild Rose Party in Alberta when sort of we had our battle with the Progressive Conservatives

00:17:34.600 and the Wild Rose came out of that. Though I have to ask, I mean, the side effect we found,

00:17:39.680 unfortunately, was getting an accidental NDP government for a term. You know, how do you,

00:17:47.020 I guess, approach people when they express that fear when you're splitting a Conservative vote?

00:17:52.480 You know, that's been a challenge in British Columbia. British Columbia has always sort of been

00:17:56.780 a two-party system. They've always had, you know, whether it was the social credit in the NDP,

00:18:01.840 whether it was the BC Liberals in the NDP. However, what we've seen is the BC Liberals,

00:18:08.160 now we call themselves the United Party, has really lost the confidence of the people in the province.

00:18:13.320 So they're looking for change. And that's what we're trying to do with the Conservative Party of

00:18:17.220 British Columbia is to be a big, big tent party. And like I always like to say, it's not about being

00:18:21.500 Conservative or Liberal or NDP or Green, for that matter. It's just outstanding for what's right

00:18:26.240 and doing what's right for the people and fighting for the average everyday person.

00:18:29.940 And so we're drawing people from across the spectrum. There still is a risk, of course,

00:18:33.840 with the United Party. There's still a support base for the United Party, but we are leading

00:18:37.160 now in the polls. And our hope is that we can continue to consolidate the people in this province

00:18:43.260 that are looking for change, that are looking for common sense, to be able to bring them together

00:18:46.920 and provide that good government for British Columbia. And it's been refreshing to hear

00:18:51.240 a voice for common sense coming out in the legislature there that needed that voice for

00:18:55.420 a long time. You'd proposed a private member's bill. You don't get many opportunities when

00:18:59.440 you're in a small minority, so you have to choose carefully. But one that made sense to most people

00:19:03.300 when talking about government-funded sports and just making sure that it remains fair for everybody

00:19:08.980 to participate. Alberta actually has now brought in a similar policy. A lot of European countries have.

00:19:13.600 But unfortunately, it got shot down before first reading in the legislature.

00:19:19.240 Yeah, it was a simple little bill, but it was a first in Canada to be introduced in the legislature,

00:19:25.900 which was a bill to bring fairness for women and girls in sports. And basically what the bill does

00:19:31.640 is to say that biological men should not be competing with women and girls in sports. And it makes sense. 1.00

00:19:37.240 I mean, there's obviously physiological differences between male and female. But more than that,

00:19:42.660 you know, women have struggled to be identified as a person. They struggled to be identified

00:19:47.060 to have the right to vote. They struggled to be able to enter into places. They struggled for equal

00:19:51.880 pay. And now they have to struggle for fairness in sports. It's crazy. That's why this bill was

00:19:57.480 brought in just to say enough of this nonsense is bringing back common sense. And quite frankly,

00:20:02.140 we also need to make sure that we have safe spaces for women to be able to go, you know, change rooms, 1.00

00:20:07.440 washrooms, these types of things as well. It's an approach that we think is just the right thing to do in

00:20:11.980 British Columbia, which is why we introduced that bill.

00:20:14.880 Well, that's it. And people have gone so far beyond common sense on this. I mean,

00:20:19.080 there's trans individuals, nobody wants to attack them or harm them. But we just have to

00:20:23.660 ensure that, you know, the activists have really overstepped reality in a lot of things when it came

00:20:28.140 to sport, when it came to women's safety in washrooms, or even cases of women's shelters. And we've had

00:20:32.820 some dangerous biological men put in with women who've been assaulted by other men in the past. It was a

00:20:38.340 terrible notion. Nobody was speaking up for them. So another issue that you've been speaking with our

00:20:45.040 own Linda Slobodian on, it's been a bizarre one going on out in BC with a 14 year old girl who's 0.88

00:20:50.880 been performing apparently in some pretty explicit circumstances on stages in BC. They say she's trans,

00:20:58.240 but she's also autistic and has some other challenges. And I mean, this is just beyond the pale.

00:21:04.600 You had stated that you were going to look into things and see if this is, you know,

00:21:09.860 there should be something the authorities can step in on. Have you had any progress with this?

00:21:14.920 So I have looked into this. I haven't had a chance to talk to the minister directly about it.

00:21:19.380 The issue really is that if you're under 16, you're not allowed to work in BC. This is,

00:21:25.160 I think, the labor laws that are in place unless there's special circumstances associated with

00:21:29.140 farming. And so there's, there's those laws in place, but there's also where you have an adult

00:21:34.000 entertainment. You know, you have to be of age to be able to perform there as well.

00:21:39.720 And so there's something going on here and I don't know why police haven't looked into it. I don't know

00:21:43.860 why, you know, the, the ministry hasn't looked into this either. It's one of those things that,

00:21:48.940 you know, you kind of go like, how did this happen? So, you know, I may be, I may not be completely

00:21:54.480 up with the laws. So it's things that I need to follow up with. This is why I want to follow up with the

00:21:58.040 minister. But to me, this doesn't seem right. Well, yeah, it does seem absurd. But again,

00:22:02.360 I think some of it just comes of that fear of the activists. A lot of people just don't want to speak

00:22:05.800 up because they don't want to get in the middle of it. But when we see a child potentially victimized,

00:22:09.920 I don't know what sort of man would want to sit around and watch a, well, we know what sort of

00:22:12.800 man would want to watch a 14 year old girl in such a circumstance. Like this is beyond, you know,

00:22:17.060 somebody who's just dressed up and reading at a drag queen story hour. Okay. It's a bit clownish, 0.98

00:22:21.440 a little different. This is sexualized dancing in front of people. And people want to hear that again, 0.87

00:22:27.360 at least somebody is investigating and speaking up and finding, getting to the bottom of it and see

00:22:30.720 what the heck is going on. Yeah. Like I say, I mean, we need to make sure that we protect girls

00:22:35.960 and boys. We need to protect underage people. We need to make sure that as a province, we're just

00:22:40.960 standing for common sense and standing for what's right. And so, you know, if there's a, if there's

00:22:46.040 a situation like this has been described, obviously there's been stories and stuff about it. This is

00:22:51.220 something certainly that should be looked into. I think the police should be looking into this as to why

00:22:55.080 this is being allowed to happen. So another big issue that's been happening is, it's been sort

00:22:59.880 of the back and forth, I guess, points to the, you know, BC government for at least realizing that

00:23:06.280 the decriminalization experiment was just an abject failure. It's unfortunate that so many people had

00:23:11.720 to suffer in an experiment that turned out to be a failure, but they've asked the Prudhoe liberals to

00:23:16.780 back off on the decriminalization. That's a good step. I mean, just at least admitting it,

00:23:22.460 you make a mistake, moves you towards finding a solution. And it's a very large and complex

00:23:27.000 problem though. I mean, it's certainly top of news in every Western Canadian city.

00:23:30.760 What does the Conservative Party have in mind to try and deal though with this addiction crisis?

00:23:35.480 Because of course it's still happening.

00:23:37.520 Yeah, the addiction crisis is absolutely, you know, ballooned in this province. We have,

00:23:42.320 according to some experts, we now have the highest level of addictions per capita anywhere in North

00:23:47.100 America in British Columbia. I find that completely unacceptable. And when you look at the experiment

00:23:52.060 with decriminalization, with the experiment with safe supply, clearly they are not working.

00:23:57.180 We have more addicts. We have more drug problems. We've got more crime problems.

00:24:01.240 These so-called safe supply drugs are finding their ways into our schools. They're creating the

00:24:05.840 next generation of addicts. All of this needs to change. And I think quite frankly, the steps that

00:24:10.100 David Eby and the NDP have taken to reduce the decriminalization haven't gone far enough. We should

00:24:16.700 be eliminating decriminalization entirely. These are hard drugs. They do serious damage to people.

00:24:22.480 Doctors are telling me that people doing these street drugs today, within two to three years,

00:24:27.040 have permanent brain damage. We've got to bring this to an end. Same with the safe supply. We've

00:24:31.780 got to bring it to an end. We've actually got to get a place in British Columbia where we are

00:24:35.900 trying to get people into recovery. We're trying to get them back into a normal life. And we're

00:24:41.460 providing those kinds of supports with a wide range, as opposed to just trying to keep people

00:24:45.920 on drugs. It's not the right approach when you need to change it. Absolutely. So that's one of the

00:24:52.080 issues you've got. I mean, it's a very pressing issue in the urban areas. And actually it's getting,

00:24:55.840 you know, smaller towns and such are dealing with the addiction as well and more rural spots. But

00:25:00.440 I see a similar pattern in BC to Alberta. We got a very sharp urban rural divide in, I guess you could

00:25:07.880 say political leanings, ideology. How could you balance, you know, the need for principled conservative

00:25:14.200 positions, but still being pragmatic enough to make sure you represent enough for, say, lower mainland

00:25:18.260 voters to, you know, form the government you need? Well, really, when you look across British

00:25:23.360 Columbia, it is very diverse. There's very serious. And you can look at all kinds of differences as

00:25:28.700 saying, you know, you need to be focused on one group or another. But I tell you, it doesn't

00:25:32.680 matter whether you're in urban or whether you're in rural BC, you all have the same issues. We all

00:25:37.320 have the same issues of affordability. People are struggling just to put food on the table to be able

00:25:41.620 to pay their rent. They don't have an opportunity to be able to buy a house or even put away for a

00:25:45.740 future. Similarly with healthcare, people are struggling to find doctors, people are struggling

00:25:50.900 to find healthcare. People, you know, right across the province are facing issues, you know, crisis,

00:25:56.040 quite frankly, and crime and addictions. There are many things that we all have in common,

00:26:00.000 and we just want to get back to a government that is just going to try to do the best they can for

00:26:04.680 people as opposed to being focused on ideology. So I'm, you know, they would always talk about the

00:26:10.080 divides, but I think quite frankly, if we stay focused on making sure that we're fighting for

00:26:14.020 the average everyday person, it goes across the political boundaries that we have within any

00:26:18.980 province like British Columbia. Great. So it looks like you're roughly about seven months away,

00:26:23.260 I believe, from the next general election. You know, you got some great momentum, but of course,

00:26:26.740 that's still forever away in the world of politics. I mean, hopefully that momentum continues. One of

00:26:31.900 the issues is certainly still clearly an adversarial relationship with the BC United. Yourself, you came

00:26:39.080 from the Liberals initially, and you've had a person cross the floor. Are you considering taking in,

00:26:44.620 or are there people looking to cross the floor that maybe make the Conservative Party a larger entity

00:26:49.180 before you hit the election? Well, we have been in talks with MLAs from the United Party for many

00:26:56.440 months now. We tried reaching out to the United Party in general. We were a buff twice from them.

00:27:03.660 You know, we're still open to having a conversation, but we're 135 days away from the

00:27:07.140 writ being dropped. You know, there isn't a lot of time left to be able to do big things between the

00:27:12.940 two parties. And it's unfortunate. Would it be nice if we could have done something, you know,

00:27:16.820 and we're still open to having conversations. But at the end of the day, we need to be prepared

00:27:20.520 for an election. We need to make sure we have our candidates in place. We need to raise the money.

00:27:24.500 We need to be getting our platform. We need to be getting out there. And we can't be wasting time,

00:27:28.440 you know, having discussions with a party, quite frankly, that seems to be unrealistic and not

00:27:33.360 accepting of the change that is happening in British Columbia. Yeah, and it was unfortunate that

00:27:38.960 you would think that ideologically you'd be aligned. But with that private members bill you put forward,

00:27:43.320 unfortunately, that BC United was just as opposed to it as the NDP was, which again shows that they're

00:27:49.140 more concerned about political expediency rather than political principle. And that's always frustrating

00:27:54.280 to see. Well, I'll just give you some examples. We want to eliminate the carbon tax. It makes no

00:27:58.700 sense whatsoever. Taxing people into poverty is not going to change the weather, you know. And what is

00:28:04.360 the United Party doing? Well, they want to stop the increase, but they're not prepared to eliminate

00:28:09.120 the carbon tax. You know, we want to support parents' choice. We need to get rid of things like

00:28:13.900 sexualization of our children in schools. We need to make sure that, you know, our schools have good

00:28:19.480 anti-bullying programs, but get refocused on academics. They're not, they're not, don't support

00:28:24.880 our position on that. Similarly, where we want to be able to have fairness for women and girls in sports.

00:28:29.060 There are a number of issues that the United Party is not quite prepared to go to where we are,

00:28:34.980 which creates some big differences. And so it's kind of like if you want NDP light, you get the

00:28:41.060 United Party. If you want NDP, you get the NDP. But if you want, you know, a common sense approach

00:28:45.920 to governing, that's where the Conservative Party comes in, in British Columbia.

00:28:50.100 And it certainly appears that people are appreciating just the unapologetic conservative

00:28:54.320 approach to things. As I said it kind of earlier too, there are a lot of conservatives in BC,

00:28:58.380 people in Alberta forget that, but there's a lot of common sense people there. They just,

00:29:02.900 due to those complicated politics, haven't always been well represented. So you've really got your

00:29:08.300 work cut out in this seven months. How have things been going in the, you know, nominations and getting

00:29:12.580 candidates in place and getting ready for the next campaign?

00:29:16.220 We've got about 60 candidates in place now. We've got another 25 or so that we're going to have in

00:29:22.080 place in the next few weeks, I think, depending on how some of these nomination processes go.

00:29:26.820 So we're not going to have any problem with filling our slate. I mean, we've had one

00:29:30.140 riding on the island, for example, where 19 people have expressed interest in running

00:29:33.840 in the riding, which creates for a very interesting challenge. But, you know, there's interest right

00:29:39.020 across this province and people are excited about what we are doing with the Conservative Party of

00:29:42.680 British Columbia. So we're going to continue to go around, we're going to continue to build the

00:29:46.200 momentum and the grassroots movement for this province. And I think, you know, it's going to be

00:29:51.420 interesting. And I'm really proud of the people that have stepped up to the plate too.

00:29:54.700 I mean, think about it. It's not easy for people to step up to the plate to a party that hasn't

00:29:59.060 elected anybody since the 1970s. But we have, you know, former mayors, we've got councillors,

00:30:04.600 we've got school trustees, we've got business people, we've got farmers, we've got lawyers,

00:30:08.980 we've got doctors, we've got nurses, we've got people from right across the public spectrum,

00:30:13.080 all of British Columbia, that have decided to put their life on hold and step up to the plate and say,

00:30:17.420 yes, we want to try to change things in British Columbia, we want to bring common sense back.

00:30:21.820 Well, there does definitely seem to be an appetite to see some common sense coming back into the BC

00:30:26.860 legislature. I just, as we get towards the end, to clarify, like you're the Conservative Party,

00:30:32.940 you know, in an event diagram, you'd have a lot of federal members who happen to be but there's no

00:30:36.640 formal relationship between your party and the federal entity, right?

00:30:40.740 No, there isn't any formal relationship. Obviously, there's lots of overlap between

00:30:44.100 our structure and the federal Conservative structure. But, you know, we have, for example,

00:30:48.960 a lot of NDP, provincial NDP people coming over and joining us, we've got one former NDP MLA running

00:30:54.260 for us. We have people from the Liberal Party of Canada that have come and joined us and that are

00:30:59.180 running for us. So we're drawing from across the political spectrum. And it's really because, you know,

00:31:04.820 we're just trying hard just to focus on doing what's right. So it's not just about an ideology

00:31:10.060 of a political party, but trying to reach across the spectrum. Because at the end of the day,

00:31:14.580 people in the province, they're just looking to be able to have a quality of life for both them

00:31:19.460 and an opportunity for their children. And when their children can't afford to live in the province

00:31:23.540 and are looking at leaving the province, people are saying, wait a second, this is wrong. We need

00:31:28.180 change in this province. And that's what we're trying to struggle for and to present to people

00:31:32.580 in BC.

00:31:33.940 Well, really looking forward to seeing you guys continuing with the momentum you got. I love

00:31:38.240 hearing your messaging. Before I let you go, then where can our viewers in BC find your party

00:31:43.920 and find their local representative or nomination races and such so they can help you guys get in

00:31:48.960 there?

00:31:49.740 Best place to go is conservativebc.ca. That's our website. It connects to all of our candidates

00:31:55.960 as well as the things that are going on. And of course, we've got significant social media presence

00:32:00.060 for all of our candidates as well as for the party. So, you know, reach out, be part of the

00:32:06.520 movement, be part of change, be part of making history in British Columbia. It's a grassroots movement

00:32:11.240 that I'm very proud. People are joining. We're being, you know, making significant progress in

00:32:15.560 this province. And I really believe, you know, we've got a very good chance to form government.

00:32:19.620 We'll certainly be challenged for government in October. It's going to be a very exciting next

00:32:22.700 five months.

00:32:24.160 Well, thank you very much for joining us today, Mr. Rustad. We'll be watching closely. I hope

00:32:28.500 we can talk again soon, perhaps as the campaign starts to unfold. And hopefully we can see some

00:32:34.120 conservative neighbours off to our west side. We're looking forward to it.

00:32:36.600 It would be nice. There's so much that we can do across this country. Take care. Thanks for

00:32:40.980 having me on.

00:32:41.800 All right. Thank you. So yes, that was Conservative Party of British Columbia leader, John Rustad.

00:32:47.160 And yeah, these guys are coming out with, it's just common sense. It's just, it's just conservative

00:32:52.260 policy. They're reinventing the wheel. They're just providing one to people who haven't had access

00:32:56.940 to one in a long time. And BC citizens are embracing it. Like we do forget when you look to

00:33:03.580 lower mainland BC, even, you know, the left coast, as people call it, there's more of a

00:33:09.400 conservative base down there than people realize sometimes. You think back to the reform days when

00:33:13.480 it was really conservative. And that's what I mean with the complicated nature of BC politics. You

00:33:17.540 could have a reform party member of parliament right next to an NDP member of parliament, right

00:33:22.900 next to a liberal member of parliament, all within a few square miles of high density area in lower

00:33:27.300 mainland BC. So it's a volatile political atmosphere down there. But I mean, they are

00:33:33.180 suffering. They're suffering with the opioid addiction. They're suffering with affordability,

00:33:37.440 you know, in ways that we can't even imagine. And they're suffering from, yeah, some of the

00:33:43.340 bizarreness, wokeness, and perversion, as we see with the situation with the, that girl has been put

00:33:51.680 on stage in front of a bunch of perverts repeatedly, repeatedly. And again, check it out on westernstandard.news.

00:33:57.720 Linda Slobodian has been covering it excellently. She's following this. She's a dog with a bone.

00:34:02.140 She won't let it go. And the only party leader who has been speaking up on that in BC has been

00:34:07.660 John Rustad. The others all, you know, they're ducking for cover. Come on. This shouldn't be a

00:34:11.440 partisan issue. They're kids. They're kids. They don't belong strip dancing on stages. This kid's

00:34:17.460 mother has got something wrong with her. And as Mr. Rustad said, you don't even, though we should

00:34:23.800 have some laws just for the sake of decency to not have children on stage like that, as he's pointing

00:34:28.260 out, anyways, it's illegal for a kid to be working at that age. Step one, there's one immediate legal

00:34:34.660 recourse you could have to say, we're shutting this down. This is not happening anymore. Get that child

00:34:40.360 off the stage. As Slobodian says, as you can see with that headline there that Nico put up,

00:34:45.360 Slobodians, send in the police and child protective services. Why are we waiting? 1.00

00:34:49.420 It's true. Why are we waiting? The fear, the fear of the woke activists, the trans activists. I'm not

00:34:56.780 talking about trans people. I'm talking about the activists because those are two completely 0.95

00:35:00.260 different things. They really are. And these are the activists, the kooks that put this sort of stuff

00:35:05.040 out there. And people on the left, many, many, many of them are just as disgusted with this as people

00:35:10.740 on the right. They might want a leftist government in a lot of ways and big unions and big spending, 0.94

00:35:16.320 but they still value their children. And they want somebody to speak up and say, hey, this is wrong.

00:35:21.620 Get that child off the stage and away from those perverts. And they don't care who's going to say 1.00

00:35:25.980 it. So if Mr. Rusted is the only one with the courage to call it out, yeah, that's part of why

00:35:32.580 a party that, again, hasn't had much support in decades is now in the lead in B.C. over the NDP,

00:35:40.060 even while splitting a bit of the vote with the B.C. United Party. And as the B.C. United Party

00:35:44.240 appears more and more cowardly, their support's going to drop. People want unapologetic 0.54

00:35:50.060 principled conservatism, even if they don't agree with every policy. One of the things that the B.C.

00:35:56.440 United, before they changed their name to the Liberals, I mean, Aaron Gunn was looking to run for them

00:36:00.720 for the leadership. And they punted him out from even being allowed to run. This isn't the way

00:36:05.800 a conservative party that values, you know, democracy and bottom-up sort of things operates.

00:36:14.820 But that's what's happening. So yes, as he said, they're more of an NDP light. I'm looking forward

00:36:19.760 to them growing. So yeah, just through the poll I was referencing, and you can find the whole thing

00:36:22.720 on the Western Standard online as well. Right now, anyways, and again, that's a long way, and this is

00:36:27.640 far from certain. The Conservatives right now, though, are poised to win 31%. And that's the

00:36:32.540 majority of the votes. We've got to remember, with first past the post, that could be distributed

00:36:35.760 all sorts of ways. They would win the popular vote, but they might not win the majority of seats,

00:36:40.580 especially when you're looking at 31%. The NDP are only a few points behind them, I believe.

00:36:47.760 And then you've got the B.C. United, and they're way back, I think, at 12% or 18%. So they're really

00:36:53.720 fading. But you see, that leaves a lot of room to growth. I mean, I think with some of the common

00:36:57.600 sense coming out from the Conservatives in B.C., they can pull some more of those NDP supporters.

00:37:02.620 They'll pull some. There are swing people who actually swing between NDP and Conservative

00:37:05.500 parties. They exist. And they certainly, there's the poll numbers up there, can take a good bite

00:37:12.460 out of the B.C. United Party. It looks like, yeah, there's 16%. And that's a lot of room for the

00:37:18.320 Conservative Party of B.C. to grow. And the Green Party, of course, is taking 12%. And that eats the

00:37:24.580 NDP a lot. And James is saying 37%. Yes, I appreciate the correction, James. Yeah, I got that

00:37:30.620 number wrong. I had it as 31%. I guess it depends on which way you're measuring it to. It could be

00:37:34.440 decided, undecided. But either way, it's definitely, they're in winning conditions, but it's vulnerable.

00:37:39.340 And it's a long ways from over the finish line yet. But it's pretty exciting to watch that

00:37:43.160 and glad to see it coming along. So let's talk about something that's not so good to see coming

00:37:48.840 along, or maybe it's mixed. Catherine Tate. Ah, yes, this is the headline from Blacklock saying,

00:37:53.780 I'm not a liar, she's saying. But she is a liar. She is a liar. That's the, she's the CEO of the CBC. 1.00

00:37:59.960 Yeah, the corporate head of a big giant socialist organ for the Liberal Party is really what they are.

00:38:05.580 She makes $500,000 a year. Sorry, $497,000 a year. And she denies that she was misleading the

00:38:12.880 Heritage Committee over a payment. See, they laid off a whole pile of CBC people, even though they

00:38:18.220 get what $1.4 billion a year, even though they steal hundreds of millions of dollars from the

00:38:22.980 advertising market and the private sector, they still can't manage to operate and pay the bills

00:38:29.180 and keep their own people employed. So they laid off a whole bunch, even though they were getting

00:38:31.840 more bailouts, more money, more and more money. And lo and behold, it turns out that they got 15,

00:38:38.020 what, $14.9,000? I don't want to be lying. $14.9 million in bonuses went to their executives.

00:38:44.260 Good work, Ms. Tate. Good work. I'm glad she came out from her New York loft to speak in Canada

00:38:54.260 to the behavior of her CBC and pretend she's a victim, pretend she's being ill-treated. 1.00

00:39:00.580 You're running a crap corporation. I really, the CBC cannot be defunded fast enough. 0.99

00:39:05.740 Of all the things I'm hoping for, if Pierre Polyev becomes our next prime minister, please,

00:39:11.980 please, please follow through and defund that dinosaur, terrible, biased organization called

00:39:19.280 the CBC. We do not need them. They're just robbing us. Civil servants are robbing us all 0.91

00:39:24.140 over the place. But the CBC is a special bunch. And let's see other stories. Here's another one.

00:39:30.100 Yeah, Cabinet learned a lot. This is from the additions minister, Yara Sachs. We learned a lot

00:39:37.500 from the decriminalization experiment in BC. You know, there's things you didn't have to learn.

00:39:43.680 You give a whole bunch of free drugs, and that's part of the safe supply. So I know it's tied in

00:39:47.420 with decriminalization, but it's all tied in. Give a bunch of free drugs to a bunch of addicts,

00:39:51.720 and guess what? You get more addicts. I mean, you get some fewer addicts because they're still

00:39:55.260 overdosing, dying all over the place. But this way, they spawn and spread, and you get more and

00:39:59.720 more added to the mix. It's a growing problem. Yes, it was a failure. Everybody was already

00:40:04.960 saying that before you hammerheads did this, it came at the cost of countless lives, people who 0.99

00:40:10.580 haven't died yet, but they're going to because they got addicted with this crap as more and more 0.99

00:40:15.140 spread everywhere. I understand. Look, I'm chasing around some, you know, poor addicted soul who's on 0.99

00:40:22.140 the street corner who was just, has a little bit of meth on them in the corner, isn't the way you're

00:40:26.160 going to address the problem. Absolutely. Throwing them in jail or finding them, waste of time,

00:40:30.400 even going after the small level dealers. But you've got to maintain some ability for intervention.

00:40:36.920 And as long as that's illegal, there are means you can intervene with. As soon as you decriminalize

00:40:41.560 it, make it like, oh, you can carry some cocaine or meth or heroin or fentanyl around with you with

00:40:46.200 nothing to worry about, guess what happens? They carry more cocaine, meth, fentanyl, and that with

00:40:52.100 them, that's what happens. And it happened at a terrible cost. And, you know, she's still talking

00:41:00.380 in circles. Oh, we, we learned a lot of lessons. Yeah, you sure did, didn't you? And she's saying

00:41:05.840 decriminalization is still one tool of many. You're a tool. You're a fool. Get out in the streets. Get

00:41:12.620 out there. Really walk. Go to East Hastings. Have a look around. You know, smell the urine. Watch the

00:41:18.700 walking dead wandering around down there. Look at the predatory dealers on every street corner.

00:41:24.900 Look at the young people prostituting themselves. Look at them losing bowel control behind dumpsters 1.00

00:41:29.180 at the age of 17 because they're addicted to meth and fentanyl. And you think that enabling it is

00:41:35.560 going to help this, you tool? No, it's not. Let's get real. Even Oregon figured it out. And now BC is

00:41:42.700 starting to figure it out. Unfortunately, you know, this isn't like an economic experiment that's

00:41:48.300 failing. This is a social experiment and it's coming at the cost of a lot of lives. There's no

00:41:53.560 easy solution. Like I said, chasing them around and trying to find people and so on isn't going to work

00:41:58.540 either. They need treatment. They need facilities. They need somewhere to go. When the time comes that

00:42:04.200 they're ready for it or they've been so far to control it, you can bring them in, get them in,

00:42:08.460 but they need somewhere to go and they don't have anywhere to go right now. So yeah, it's just like

00:42:13.380 expecting cancer patients to cure themselves, guys. They need the help, but it's not going to

00:42:18.940 happen. Speaking of parasites, Canada Post, yes, they've been making the news lately. Yeah. You 0.96

00:42:23.600 remember they're still around $748 million in pre-tax loss in their latest annual report. So

00:42:30.580 they're getting up towards a billion a year lost. We've really, really, this is another one of those

00:42:35.700 hangovers from Trudeau. There was a big move to at least get rid of all the home delivery from

00:42:40.320 Canada Post because it's terribly expensive. We don't need it, guys. Most of what you get in your

00:42:44.920 mailbox and you know it is flyers and junk mail. Our bills have gone electronic. Most of our

00:42:50.920 communications with others have gone electronic and products and things that we buy online typically come

00:42:56.260 through private delivery services, whether it's Amazon or any of the others. Paying these

00:43:01.520 exceptionally well-paid postal delivery people. I mean, Seinfeld made fun of them back in the 90s

00:43:09.440 with the American ones, and there's truth to it. Come on, we've always known that. You're flyer 0.81

00:43:13.860 delivery people who are making professional grade in remuneration for your job. And good for you.

00:43:20.200 That's fine, but it's done. It's over. The fax machine was the beginning of the end of your trade,

00:43:26.140 trade. And now it's getting up to 748 million a year in losses. In other words, losses for them

00:43:31.760 means it comes out of us, guys. We're tax subsidizing a dinosaur. They can go with the

00:43:35.820 CBC. Cut it out. We don't need them anymore. And here's another beauty. Climate emissions. Guess

00:43:42.140 what? They've gone up. Get a surprise. How did this happen? Gilbo brought in a carbon tax. We banned

00:43:49.720 bags in Calgary for a little while. Finally got rid of that, by the way. Banned paper bags. Yeah,

00:43:54.620 paper bags. And somehow emissions are still going up. How can this be? Haven't we saved the world yet?

00:44:02.560 Do we need to carbon tax harder? Of course not. We need to face reality. Part of the reality too,

00:44:07.980 of course, is we've got these liberals bringing in over a million people a year into the country.

00:44:11.460 Guess what? They emit stuff. Whether they're driving, taking the bus, living in a home just like

00:44:17.880 everybody else, as they should be able to. They're farting. It brings up the emissions. So we can't tax

00:44:23.840 ourselves into being the world's saviors despite Gilbo's best wishes. The carbon tax has failed.

00:44:31.760 So it's going up. But what are the words out of Gilbo? He says, we're making steady progress. This

00:44:35.440 is his words. These are delusional. These liberals are out of it. He says, it's imperative we keep up

00:44:41.320 the momentum. Well, the momentum, Mr. Gilbo is having rising emissions. So you want to keep making

00:44:48.960 them grow? You're failing there, Mr. Gilbo. And let's see. Well, yes. So John Nickel, a doctor

00:44:56.880 saying, genius thinks paper bags save the environment costs and weighs much more than

00:45:00.280 plastic. I understand that. You know, we have a discussion. I'd like to talk about that more. I

00:45:05.240 mean, a roll of plastic bags, really for the amount of materials that come up in plastic bags,

00:45:10.600 disposable bags is next to nothing. You can have a thousand plastic bags, thin ones on a roll.

00:45:15.280 They take up nearly nothing. The problem with plastic bags is they're visible. If people don't

00:45:19.960 chuck them outright, they go, you know, blowing across the road and get stuck on fences and they 0.99

00:45:23.940 look like crap. That's why they get targeted because people can see them, but it doesn't mean they're the 0.99

00:45:28.280 biggest problem. Improper disposal of them is a problem. And yes, paper, they don't save the

00:45:34.960 environment. No. In fact, we switched to plastic because we were told 20 years ago that we were all

00:45:40.000 evil for using paper bags because it was cutting down all the trees and it was bad for the

00:45:45.220 little bunnies and beavers and everything out in the areas with logging and all that going on. So

00:45:49.220 we had to stop and move on to nice environmentally safe plastic. But now in Calgary, they said,

00:45:53.840 no, that's not good enough. We have to ban the paper bags too. Even though we've spent millions

00:46:00.060 and millions on this composting facility that supposedly will degrade at least these paper

00:46:05.560 bags. No, that wasn't good enough. Crazy. Jodi Gondek, she's something. And the rest of her goofy 1.00

00:46:12.400 council, not all of them, but most of them, grudgingly, grudgingly repealed their stupid 1.00

00:46:18.060 law. When you would go to a McDonald's or an A&W or wherever and order your meal, get your little 1.00

00:46:24.700 half burger thing from A&W, they'd hand it to you because you'd have to pay extra or ask specifically

00:46:29.820 for a bag. Otherwise, you got to hold it all in your lap. If you've got a big family in your car,

00:46:32.960 you're just going to have a big pile. That's how stupid it was. That's how stupid the council is. 1.00

00:46:37.140 So they got rid of it yesterday. They did. But boy, kicking and screaming. This isn't about 1.00

00:46:43.220 the environment. That's my final point for today. When you listen to idiots like Gilboa,

00:46:47.780 when you look at the crap out of rotten mayors like Jodi Gondek and her little council of clowns 1.00

00:46:52.920 at the city of Calgary, it's not about the environment. It's about ideology and it's about 0.99

00:46:58.200 control. They don't care about the environment or maybe they do, but they don't care if their

00:47:02.520 policies don't actually address it. So meanwhile, we take on options that are actually more

00:47:07.400 environmentally damaging than the last ones. And we sit here and pretend as Gilboa is that we're

00:47:12.560 making steady progress while emissions actually go up. If emissions are a problem, then why are you

00:47:18.160 lying to us and saying you've solved it when clearly you haven't? Because it's about ideology.

00:47:23.520 You got to remember, scratch green, you get, you know, the old term watermelons for the greenies.

00:47:28.920 It's not about the environment. It's about socialism. And socialism is just a step towards

00:47:32.600 communism, guys. The solution to environmental problems always seems to come back to more

00:47:36.840 socialism. Go figure. All right. That's my time for today. I had a good rant on. Thank you

00:47:41.360 very much for joining me. Be sure to tune into the pipeline later on tonight and share these links,

00:47:46.580 guys. Let's get the traffic going. Let's build the independent media. So yes, thanks for tuning in

00:47:51.780 today. Tune in next week. I'll have a new guest and a whole bunch more things to talk about. And

00:47:55.620 we'll see you then.
