Western Standard - Voting Liberal never serves the West well

00:00:00.000 Would you let Jeffrey Epstein watch your kids?

00:00:07.700 Didn't think so.

00:00:09.680 What about his accomplice,

00:00:11.480 Ghislaine Maxwell?

00:00:13.620 Hard pass.

00:00:15.680 So why trust him?

00:00:19.220 Mark Carney, Maxwell's friend.

00:00:22.520 Not yours.

00:00:30.000 Good day.

00:00:59.500 Welcome to the Cory Morgan Show. This is my last one of these before the election this Monday.

00:01:05.240 We'll see what we'll be reporting on a week from now. A few more shows to look forward to.

00:01:09.720 Of course, the Pipeline will be on this evening. I'm doing my show on Friday.

00:01:14.380 And don't forget, set your favorites on the Western Standard for Monday night.

00:01:19.120 We're going to be doing live coverage of the election. A whole pile of guests, a lot of panels,

00:01:22.920 and just watching those results as they come in so we can smile or mourn or scream or swear

00:01:28.020 or whatever we might do and you can do all that screaming and swearing and everything else out in

00:01:31.800 the comment scroll but it's usually better if you're polite about it this is a live show i love

00:01:35.440 seeing some participation good to see you there jordan mavros coming from the evil east wild

00:01:40.180 rose you know mavros we might issue you a passport or a visa to come visit us after the election out

00:01:44.880 west here uh paradox you know good to see all you guys checking in keep the discourse going

00:01:49.860 it reminds me there's actually somebody on the other side of the camera i'm not talking to myself

00:01:54.860 as I'm prone to at other times.

00:01:56.540 I've got Chris Sims coming on

00:01:57.760 from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

00:01:59.160 She's going to talk about the costed platforms

00:02:01.580 from the parties that were finally released.

00:02:04.520 They kind of waited right until the end

00:02:05.720 of the campaign period for all of them to do it.

00:02:07.540 The Conservatives waited until the very end.

00:02:08.860 So let's talk about what's good or bad

00:02:10.440 or whatnot within those.

00:02:13.520 As well, Sean Polzer is going to check in

00:02:15.080 from a hydrogen conference

00:02:16.380 and we'll see what he's been finding out there.

00:02:20.100 All right, so let's talk about some things.

00:02:22.380 As we enter this final stretch of the election campaign,

00:02:24.860 I heard it on the radio the other day. We're starting to hear that tired old line of,

00:02:28.780 if Alberta wants to be at the table, it's going to have to elect some liberals. 1.00

00:02:32.680 Let's hope that, as usual, Albertan voters are going to ignore that ridiculous advice.

00:02:36.660 I mean, Alberta does suffer from political predictability in most federal ridings.

00:02:40.940 Conservatives can be prone to taking support for granted across the province,

00:02:44.600 while liberals can feel there's little gain in addressing Albertan concerns.

00:02:48.340 Rest assured, though, electing a few more liberals in Alberta won't change anything for the better in the province.

00:02:53.240 I mean, to begin with, that entire premise is an implied threat and an insult to voters.

00:02:57.560 Liberal supporters are basically telling people of Alberta,

00:02:59.720 your voice is only going to be heard in government decisions if you bow down and support the liberals.

00:03:03.880 The elected government is supposed to represent everybody, no matter how they voted.

00:03:07.300 And that should include Albertans who refuse to support a party with a long history of abusing the province.

00:03:12.520 Also, while Alberta traditionally isn't terribly supportive of liberals in elections,

00:03:16.960 the province has elected many liberal MPs over the years, and it hasn't done the province a damn bit of good.

00:03:22.680 Every government tries to have a cabinet minister from every province, when possible, to try and, you know, give a nod to regional balance.

00:03:30.440 Alberta hasn't had a member in cabinet lately, though, despite having two liberal MPs. 0.92

00:03:34.540 And that's because both of Alberta's liberal MPs have been immersed in scandals to the point where it's impossible to put those clowns in the cabinet.

00:03:41.180 Real quality folks they're giving us.

00:03:42.860 Electing those two certainly didn't do the province any favors.

00:03:45.840 Serial political opportunist Amarjeet Soheed held an Edmonton seat and served in Trudeau's cabinet as infrastructure minister and then natural resources until his electoral defeat in 2019.

00:03:56.760 During that time, Trudeau imposed tanker bans and the hated anti-pipeline bill C-69, which devastated Alberta's ability to get energy products to Tidewater.

00:04:06.440 Did Sohe stand up for us? No, he never set up people about Alberta's interests while he was in cabinet. He did as he was told.

00:04:11.520 In the 1990s, Anne McClellan was an Albertan Liberal MP who served in several senior cabinet roles, including Health Minister, Minister of Justice, and Deputy Prime Minister.

00:04:20.480 During that time, she ushered in the long gun registry against the wishes of most Albertans, and she fought against Alberta Premier Ralph Klein's health care reforms.

00:04:27.980 She was an Albertan in name only at best.

00:04:31.040 Now, there was an exception, Liberal MP David Kilgore, the late David Kilgore, and he was outspoken on Alberta issues, actually, throughout the 90s.

00:04:37.780 He even highlighted the roots of Western alienation in a book that he wrote.

00:04:41.520 But due to his insistence on standing upon principles over party, he never got a senior cabinet role despite serving as a Liberal MP for over a decade.

00:04:48.220 He eventually did quit the Liberal Party in disgust in 2005 and served the remainder of his term as an independent MP.

00:04:54.660 There's never been a Liberal member of Parliament who's served Alberta's interests effectively, and there's never going to be one.

00:04:59.780 The Liberal Party of Canada is an inherently Laurentian creature bound to serve Central Canada at all costs.

00:05:06.300 If Alberta wants attention from Ottawa, it's got to be through expressing discontent 0.92

00:05:09.560 rather than trying to buy liberal love through electing their bloody MPs. 0.72

00:05:13.100 While conservative members in opposition may not have as much direct power as liberal MPs do in government,

00:05:18.000 the conservative members at least are free to speak up on Albertan issues.

00:05:21.180 They can lobby for Western causes and bring them national attention.

00:05:25.380 Alberta is underrepresented in the Senate already due to Canada's lopsided political system,

00:05:30.180 but thanks to a decade of Trudeau's appointments, most of the senators there are liberals,

00:05:33.260 though the former prime minister claims they're independent.

00:05:36.300 But have any of those independent senators spoken up for Albertans?

00:05:39.800 Senator Paula Simons was critical of C-69 when it went through the Senate,

00:05:43.440 but then she got in line like a good little liberal 0.99

00:05:45.140 and voted it into legislation when push came to shove.

00:05:47.900 Albertans can't expect to gain regional influence through the Senate,

00:05:51.780 but if you really feel we need some liberals out there, well, there, you got some.

00:05:55.160 The Canadian system is stacked in favour of central Canada,

00:05:57.820 and that won't be changing.

00:05:59.080 Nothing shy of constitutional reform is going to give the West

00:06:01.960 an equal voice in the federal political chambers, and that won't be changing anytime soon.

00:06:06.360 In the meantime, Albertans must vote for who will represent them best, and that's never going to be

00:06:10.260 the Liberals. Sending a Liberal MP to Ottawa just to be gagged and voting as they are, that's not

00:06:16.180 putting yourself at the table. It's just submitting yourself to an abusive relationship.

00:06:21.540 Anyway, that's my thoughts on voting Liberal to be at the table. I guess my ass. I'm not going to do it. 1.00

00:06:26.680 Hey Dave, how's it going? I'm depressed. Corey, depressed. Okay, why so? Well, I went out to

00:06:31.340 vancouver for four days uh my wedding my my son's wedding congratulations matt nally and it was just

00:06:38.840 beautiful the grass was green not a not a cloud in the sky the roses were blooming uh the cherry

00:06:45.160 trees were just just magnificent and flew back to calgary on sunday to this gray drapness yeah and

00:06:52.120 snow alberta spring snow the next day and ice cars encrusted in ice and i'm depressed the sun will

00:07:00.740 shine eventually for a couple weeks anyways i see in my absence you've been traveling the highways

00:07:06.420 and byways of the province again i have yes i i went out and enjoyed the uh the stony nakota

00:07:12.020 reserve and the eden valley reserves yeah why don't you uh give people the brief uh background

00:07:16.260 who may not know well i could i mentioned i've been on the show before i i did a nice tour of

00:07:20.260 the siksika reserve the east of calgary showing the deplorable housing conditions and the squalor 1.00

00:07:25.700 they're living out there and uh in return for that i got charged with trespassing and fines of

00:07:30.500 threatening $2,000 worth, which I'm fighting, of course. And just to show how cowed and, you know,

00:07:36.580 how I'm going to let them stop me from doing it. I went out and toured two more reserves. You can

00:07:39.800 go to my YouTube channel, Corey Morgan on YouTube and see them. And I'll be touring further reserves

00:07:45.120 as time comes until I get a tire punctured by an arrow or something. Yeah. Yeah. No, I saw your

00:07:50.040 latest one. It's quite depressing. It is. It is. And, you know, I'm not touring them just to be a

00:07:55.180 jerk. I mean, you know, I am a jerk by nature, but people really need to see what it's like out 0.98

00:07:59.380 there most as i say in all of those videos most people never go to reserve you don't have a reason 0.94

00:08:03.100 to and it's fair enough but they don't necessarily understand they see that you know cbc version that

00:08:07.640 north of 60 version of of what reserve life is like and it's not they're living in third world

00:08:11.940 conditions and people should be aware of it yeah and it's not for the most part it's not their fault

00:08:16.380 right it's the system that's the problem here i insist on saying that over and over again you

00:08:21.380 know it doesn't matter who you put there you stick somebody in those circumstances that they're going

00:08:24.700 to be in a bad way yep absolutely well keep it up yeah oh i will keep it up jane finally chains

00:08:29.820 me down she's not so thrilled as you can imagine the election is uh dominating our website at the

00:08:35.980 moment our our top item is a column from our linda slobodian and she is predicting it won't if mark

00:08:41.940 carney wins it won't be taking too much longer too long for the memes to start coming up with

00:08:48.000 trudeau's face saying miss me yet you know just like they did with stephen harper miss me

00:08:53.700 How could anybody miss him?

00:08:54.840 So apparently, yeah, it could be horrible.

00:08:58.540 You mentioned Sean Polzer up in Edmonton for the big Hydrogen Worldwide Conference.

00:09:03.600 Big proponent of hydrogen is our premier, Danielle Smith. 0.94

00:09:07.220 She's over in South Korea at the moment, but gave an exclusive interview to Sean.

00:09:12.920 And we've got that story up on the site now.

00:09:15.200 And I'm sure Sean will fill you in on lots of other goodies.

00:09:19.480 Jen Hodgson on the scene in Hamilton for a Polly Press conference this morning,

00:09:24.420 talking about how he's going to make changes to the criminal code

00:09:27.900 to make it easier to get rid of these tent cities,

00:09:31.820 because the cops are basically hamstrung at the moment,

00:09:35.620 but he will bring in new laws.

00:09:38.100 Your buddy, Klaus Schwab, WEF, he's under investigation.

00:09:42.700 Oh, dear.

00:09:43.240 Oh, no.

00:09:44.320 There's whistleblowers inside the organization that say, you know,

00:09:47.860 he ripped off the organization financially and really wasn't a very nice man to his staff.

00:09:54.820 A crooked NGO?

00:09:55.880 Who would have thought it, man?

00:09:57.120 I've heard of.

00:09:57.520 Who would have thought it?

00:09:58.880 And my kind of favorite story of the week, the Brantford Boomer.

00:10:02.720 We've all seen this guy.

00:10:04.400 We've all seen this guy.

00:10:06.620 And there's cardboard cutouts of him appearing at the rallies now.

00:10:11.940 And some smart thinker has got himself the Brantford boomer Twitter handle, and he is posting just hilarious stuff about how wonderful the Liberals have been.

00:10:23.800 You know, not. And yeah, Jared Yeager has put up a top five list of his tweets.

00:10:31.480 So it's good fun.

00:10:32.460 Great. Well, I mean, the guy was made to be just, I mean, representative of what the Liberals are representing about right now, too.

00:10:38.460 And the people, some of the people who are supporting them, a lot of them, when we look at the poll demographics, they're boomers or a case basically saying my house is paid off. 0.67

00:10:45.780 I'm enjoying the rising and skyrocketing real estate prices.

00:10:49.660 And to all you young people complaining about the cost of living, I got mine. 0.99

00:10:53.660 Yeah, exactly.

00:10:54.600 There's the liberals for you.

00:10:56.380 That's the section of the population that could win them the election.

00:11:00.340 I know it used to work at a brewery down east and they've issued a statement saying, hey, it doesn't work for us any better.

00:11:06.060 You know, back off, back off, people.

00:11:07.680 Yeah, he's speaking for himself.

00:11:09.180 Exactly.

00:11:10.160 Well, interesting enough.

00:11:11.600 I mean, you know, it's dark, like I said, with real undertones,

00:11:14.420 but at least it's got some light stuff with it, too.

00:11:16.380 I mean, times have changed, the memes and nature of elections.

00:11:19.800 The smallest of weird things can turn into a trend.

00:11:22.440 Yeah, it's all fun and games until the liberal wins.

00:11:24.620 Yeah.

00:11:25.360 All right.

00:11:25.860 Well, thanks, Dave.

00:11:26.620 I'll let you get back in there digging out some more liberal stories.

00:11:29.980 Oh, there's no shortage.

00:11:31.280 Keeping that pack of reporters functioning out there.

00:11:35.260 Thanks, Greg.

00:11:35.800 Thanks for checking in, and I'll talk to you after the show.

00:11:38.480 That is our news editor, Dave Naylor.

00:11:40.480 Yes, he's mentioned we've got reporters across the country right now.

00:11:43.780 Jared, Jen, Sean, and columnist Linda is always fantastic.

00:11:48.460 Give her a read. 0.99

00:11:50.120 And it's right nagging you, though.

00:11:51.120 Got to pay the bills, guys.

00:11:52.440 We are independent.

00:11:53.480 We don't take tax dollars.

00:11:54.820 And, hey, for the next little while, the paywall is down.

00:11:56.900 But after the election, it's got to go back up.

00:11:59.080 And for you to get past that paywall and see all those stories,

00:12:01.580 you got to subscribe.

00:12:02.440 It's $10 a month.

00:12:03.700 I mean, that's nothing, guys.

00:12:05.020 $100 for a year.

00:12:06.080 you know, used to subscribe to a newspaper without thinking twice. Well, that's what this is about.

00:12:10.960 So if you haven't subscribed yet, get on there, take one out, and nag others to get on and 0.97

00:12:15.580 subscribe. And if you've already subscribed, guys, thank you. I do appreciate it. It's what keeps us

00:12:19.860 rolling. Let's see. Bad joke, Jordan. Oh, come on. My jokes aren't bad. Yeah, I know. But I throw

00:12:27.840 all sorts out there. Use those comments. So yeah, what do we got going on? Some of the weird

00:12:34.300 stories. Remember Jessica Yaniv? You know, she was that trans person who was, I was talking to

00:12:43.480 Tristan Hopper about her last week, actually, as he wrote about her in his book. I mean, she was

00:12:48.920 just a parody of trans people, you know, a nasty looking man dressed up as a woman who was going 0.99

00:12:55.220 into aesthetics places and demanding to have her nuts waxed. And of course, they refused because 0.98

00:13:02.740 These are people who work in a place who do, I guess you could call it intimate waxing, but they specialize in women and don't deal with male body parts, which I imagine is a different sort of art to wax. 0.54

00:13:16.540 I can't even imagine getting mine waxed. I don't like thinking about that.

00:13:18.940 But either way, then, of course, she would take them all when they refused to the Human Rights Commission and try to shake them down for money.

00:13:24.920 Either way, a crazy scene for those who remember it.

00:13:27.680 And Nutty is all, get it. Well, she's resurfaced now and she's decided she's Métis and given herself some bizarre, long, unpronounceable name so we can look forward, I'm sure, to some human rights challenges coming out as she's being probably oppressed as a Métis person. 0.97

00:13:50.640 I mean, I think she's of Eastern European descent, but everything can be self-identified now, right?

00:13:55.500 Like that's the ludicrous place we're in the world now.

00:13:59.020 We're supposed to indulge somebody as soon as they say something and then it makes it true.

00:14:08.040 There's got to be a little more than just saying that.

00:14:09.860 There's got to be a little more than just throwing a skirt on and saying, hey, I'm a woman this hour and I'm a man tomorrow and I'm an it the week after.

00:14:14.860 No, you know, for example, when we talk about prisons, when we're talking about somebody saying, I'm a trans woman, I demand to be housed with women in prison. 1.00

00:14:25.500 I can see where that would apply if it's a real trans person.

00:14:30.680 I know, how do you define real or not?

00:14:32.120 Well, I'll tell you how to define real.

00:14:33.380 Are the nuts still there?

00:14:35.700 Then they go to a male prison.

00:14:37.520 It's not that hard to determine.

00:14:39.700 If they are fully committed and they've had that surgery and those nuts and berries have

00:14:43.580 been chopped off, fair enough.

00:14:45.420 This is a person who is out to make themselves a woman. 0.93

00:14:48.560 They're incapable of assaulting women, at least in that sense.

00:14:51.960 and they would probably be very hard treated in a male prison. So you know what? I think it would 0.99

00:14:58.960 be fair enough to put a person in that particular circumstance into a facility with other women. 0.97

00:15:06.140 That's fine. Why does this have to be so hard? You know, you can draw lines in the sand. People

00:15:11.360 say it's fuzzy. It's a gray area. It's complicated. No, it's not. It's not at all. You know, you are

00:15:17.240 aren't. Likewise with athletes and such. Again, we've got means of figuring out who was on which

00:15:26.820 side of that fence or not before you get them in there. Either way, she's back in the news and I'm

00:15:32.860 sure it's going to be bizarre and weird because that's her nature and it'll give us something to

00:15:37.840 watch for comic relief as it unfolds anyways. But either way, let's get back on to some more

00:15:44.960 serious stuff. And that's unfortunately the election and the costed platforms have been

00:15:50.320 released. And I didn't see one I liked in the bunch. I mean, I saw some of this was less bad

00:15:54.540 than others, but I wouldn't call anything good. But let's bring the expert in, Chris Sims from

00:15:59.340 the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Hey, Chris, how you doing? Wonderful, Corey. Thanks for having me

00:16:03.440 on. Yeah, no, I really appreciate it. You know, and it's your role. You guys are great at that

00:16:08.660 and pouring through those documents and giving us the good, bad and the ugly within it.

00:16:14.960 you know what's your rating i guess on just the top three i guess major parties conservative

00:16:20.160 liberal and ndp i'll be honest i didn't look at the ndp because um i try i usually don't look at

00:16:26.320 parties that are pulling at under 10 so it's one of those things um i did look at the liberal

00:16:31.280 party platform and the conservative party platform um did you want to start with the bad first and

00:16:36.000 end on the good sure i mean it'll be a short segment at the end for the good i imagine

00:16:40.560 I don't need to be so cranky.

00:16:43.380 Maybe you saw a bunch of gems in there that I didn't.

00:16:46.080 So let's start with the bad on the conservative side.

00:16:49.140 To your point, at the Taxpayers Federation, we definitely would have wanted them to balance the budget.

00:16:56.020 So I don't quite understand why on year four, you don't need to come right out of the gate and say I'm going to balance the budget first year as much as we would like to see that.

00:17:04.320 year four, I think they have room there to gently and calmly balance the budget. Now, to be fair,

00:17:12.560 we're in the middle of an election campaign. He's trying to get those 905 votes. He doesn't want to

00:17:16.960 seem mean and scary. I think that if he implements his plans as he's speaking, he's going to,

00:17:22.360 meaning open up the pipelines, get people working, cut taxes, reduce bureaucracy. I think they will

00:17:30.660 be able to balance the budget by year four. And so that's why I'm surprised that they didn't say

00:17:34.860 so. So that was frustrating. So they are going to be adding more money onto the debt. The

00:17:40.520 conservatives are going to. Now it is much less than Carney's going to, and it's much less than

00:17:46.480 Trudeau was going to, but it's still adding money onto the debt. And the debt right now is more than

00:17:51.940 $1.2 trillion. We are spending about the same or the more on interest payments on the debt than

00:17:59.020 the Fed send to the provinces for health care. That's how much money we're spending just on

00:18:02.980 interest payments. So that was frustrating. As far as the good part of the Conservatives go,

00:18:08.080 we were really happy to see, I think it's more than $70 billion worth of tax relief.

00:18:13.040 That was a big headline in the Globe and Mail. That was outstanding to see that. We saw them

00:18:17.880 saying things like they want to unleash Canadian energy. That is outstanding. We definitely like

00:18:23.060 hearing that here in the province of Alberta. And the element that I found wonderful, and I wasn't

00:18:28.340 even expecting them to do it, is that Pierre Polyev wants an Alberta-type Taxpayer Protection

00:18:34.720 Act federally. And correct me if I'm wrong, I think the Canadian Alliance mentioned it back in

00:18:41.580 the day. But as far as it actually being a proposal, I think this goes back to the Reform

00:18:46.780 Party days of hearing a Taxpayer Protection Act at the federal level, meaning if you want to jack

00:18:52.020 up taxes or invent new ones, you got to win a referendum. I last heard serious talk of a

00:18:59.580 referendum on policy issues like taxes back during Preston Manning's time. So we were really thrilled

00:19:05.920 to hear that from the Conservatives. So that was a good thing. Well, and I like seeing that. I also

00:19:11.400 remember the Balanced Budget Act that Ralph Klein put in in the 90s, which of course, all they have

00:19:16.740 to do though is come in and repeal the act and then they just blow the budget. At least a referenda

00:19:21.420 commitment i mean again they can always repeal that but it makes it a little tougher you know

00:19:25.340 you got to make a little more noise and say we've changed our mind we're not going to give you a

00:19:28.380 choice uh you know just make it more difficult for the next government to change their mind and raise

00:19:33.820 the taxes you can only applaud it i mean it shouldn't be an easy thing to do and what i

00:19:37.980 loved about it is um it's usually my litmus test of oh what is the press gallery saying do they

00:19:44.460 hate it well then it's probably a good thing so they they apparently i was just speaking with

00:19:49.660 Sheila Gunn-Reed, they were apparently just clutching their pearls and freaking out saying,

00:19:54.100 well, how on earth is the government going to be able to raise taxes if all these unwashed 1.00

00:19:58.440 peasants get a say? It's like, that's the point. Welcome to direct democracy. That's why we don't

00:20:04.460 have a sales tax in Alberta. It works great for us. So I was not expecting that. That was an

00:20:08.800 unexpected, lovely surprise. So happy to see that in the platform from the Conservatives.

00:20:13.060 We would like them, though, to pay down the debt faster and to balance the budget faster.

00:20:18.400 I think on year four, they were still projecting a $14 billion deficit.

00:20:24.120 Now, compared to the $60 billion plus monster we have right now, that's a drastic improvement.

00:20:29.920 But we would like to see them balance it.

00:20:31.940 I think they can.

00:20:32.760 I think their numbers show that they can do that on year four, but they just didn't want to say so.

00:20:37.700 Well, we know enough about politics to know, as you said, they're trying to win in the 905.

00:20:43.120 You don't want to say out loud that we're actually going to cut some stuff.

00:20:46.160 Because of course, as he said, the press gallery is going to go bananas.

00:20:49.260 The usual advocacy groups are going to go nuts.

00:20:51.280 It's sad that we kind of almost have to rely on them and hope that they're kind

00:20:55.080 of lying a bit in order to, to hope that there's going to be responsible

00:20:59.780 fiscal behavior later on.

00:21:01.840 Yeah.

00:21:02.040 You're kind of, you've got the universal star Trek interpreter and you're

00:21:05.140 listening really close, right?

00:21:07.280 And so generally speaking, it sounded very good.

00:21:10.960 We would like to see the balanced budget in there, but with them saying they're

00:21:14.200 going to have a Taxpayer Protection Act in there. I think it sets it up well. I'll put it that way.

00:21:19.260 I think it sets all the pieces in place for them to have a really good, strong budget and without

00:21:25.400 all this crazy wasteful spending. And for them to come out and say, we're going to rein in all the

00:21:30.100 wasteful spending, getting rid of consultants is huge. You're saving tens of billions of dollars

00:21:34.940 right out of the gate on that. And if they're going after stuff like that, that means that they

00:21:39.160 could get serious about things like March Madness, which we've talked about before,

00:21:42.840 where every department just blows their budget every single February, March,

00:21:47.160 and it wastes billions and billions of taxpayers' money.

00:21:50.620 If they're going through it to that degree, we're super happy to see that.

00:21:54.800 All right.

00:21:55.560 So on to the budget we kind of expected, I guess, the liberal budget.

00:21:59.280 I mean, well, it's consistent to them.

00:22:02.100 They've never been presenting themselves as being fiscally conservative in any way,

00:22:06.820 and they didn't surprise anybody.

00:22:09.140 You know, I'm going to be the weird one here.

00:22:11.280 I was surprised because like I've been in the arena now for close to 30 years covering this

00:22:16.740 stuff. And I think from a kind of a normie is the term we use, a normie's perspective,

00:22:22.540 they're looking at these two guys. They're looking at Pierre Polyev and they're looking

00:22:26.560 at Mark Carney, or more importantly, they're looking at Justin Trudeau and they're looking

00:22:31.780 at Mark Carney. I think most people thought the Mark Carney banker guy was going to be good with

00:22:37.440 money. But turns out the banker is going to be worse with money than the drama teacher.

00:22:44.520 Like who's, I didn't see that coming. So Carney is actually saying that he is going to pile on

00:22:50.920 more debt, add more money to our huge national debt than Trudeau was planning. He's the banker

00:22:58.960 guy and he's still doing this. That kind of blew my mind. And so I think that they've lost a lot

00:23:05.280 of ground there because he can no longer say, you know, dad's home. Like I'm the fiscally

00:23:10.660 responsible liberal. He can't say that. He can't say I'm the Paul Martin of this red team. I'm

00:23:17.060 going to slay the deficit. It's that part's gone. I mean, being an economist doesn't guarantee

00:23:23.380 you're actually any good with money. I mean, Keynes was an economist. It didn't mean that

00:23:28.740 he had a good idea there. Let's print a bunch of money. Yeah. So that's what, and he's looks like

00:23:33.920 that's what he's going to do too. The other element, if I can, can I nerd out for a second?

00:23:38.120 By all means. This is a nerdy show. I read the platform, the really kind of hardline one where

00:23:44.220 it's just the event and the money. The part that we found in there that was really interesting,

00:23:49.560 Corey, was finally the carbon tariff. We've got a price tag for that sucker now. So remember back 0.97

00:23:57.820 in January, February, when Carney was running for Liberal Party leadership, he made this big

00:24:03.220 grand announcement about how he's changing the carbon tax, and he's going to screw us all with

00:24:08.080 this hidden industrial carbon tax, but he wouldn't give us a price tag for it. Another thing he said

00:24:13.360 at the same time, it was in Halifax, was that he was going to impose carbon border adjustments.

00:24:21.340 Carbon border adjustments are carbon tariffs. This is separate and apart from all of his other

00:24:28.500 carbon taxes, okay? Carney loves carbon taxes so much that when he looks around the world and he

00:24:35.400 finds a country that doesn't have one, that upsets him. That upsets him so much, he's going to nail

00:24:42.160 those other countries with a carbon tariff. Meaning, when their stuff comes into Canada,

00:24:48.320 he's nailing it with a carbon tariff and it's going to make it more expensive for us.

00:24:52.360 They put it in writing. That's going to cost Canadians around $500 million. So half a billion

00:25:00.420 dollars just for his carbon tariff. So I would encourage all journalists to check this out.

00:25:06.360 They call it a border adjustment. That's a government term for tariff. So that was good. 1.00

00:25:11.800 The part that's missing, though, from his platform is, again, this industrial carbon tax.

00:25:16.280 They're not listing the price tag for Canadians at all. We're running in the dark here.

00:25:20.640 Well, apparently both parties made an assumption that there's going to be $20 billion in tariff revenue because of the trade war.

00:25:30.160 Now, they're budgeting on a variable.

00:25:31.440 I understand.

00:25:31.960 They're caught in a rock and a hard place.

00:25:33.200 Maybe Trump will find sanity next week and this will all stop, or maybe this is going to go on for four more years.

00:25:37.840 We don't know. 0.93

00:25:39.860 And tariff for tariff, well, that's a separate discussion altogether as to how foolish that policy is.

00:25:45.640 but it's pretty presumptuous that that sort of revenue is going to be garnered. And again,

00:25:52.120 people can't forget it's still coming out of our pocket. This is it. Every time you see the term

00:25:57.420 revenue in a government document, picture the politician mugging you in the street.

00:26:04.040 They're taking your money by force. The government does not have a wealth generating machine

00:26:11.020 under center block on Parliament Hill. Like, oh, how are my investments doing? No.

00:26:15.640 they're taking it from us. That's all taxpayers' money. So when they say revenue, they mean taking

00:26:22.140 your money from you. And so that was really alarming to see that under the tariff element

00:26:28.000 for the carbon tariff. And yeah, you're right. They also budgeted for the current tariffs that

00:26:32.660 we've got going on now. Let's hope, I really hope that US President Donald Trump just stops talking

00:26:38.820 about this for a little while. That'd be really helpful. If they can nail down a new trade

00:26:44.080 agreement. We know that Premier Daniel Smith was really trying to do her best diplomatically

00:26:48.660 to get a new agreement. It's just unfortunate that it had to happen right now. Why didn't he

00:26:54.840 wait for six months? I don't know. Yeah, well, bottom line is he doesn't really care. No, he

00:27:00.040 sure doesn't. It's just that we'd have to deal with that as we deal with it. Something I didn't

00:27:06.080 hear though, again, I admit I didn't drill down that heart. Has anybody talked about cutting

00:27:09.360 corporate welfare? There's usually kind of low hanging fruit. People on the left and the right

00:27:13.160 get upset with that. They'd like to see the dollar stay in the average taxpayer's pocket,

00:27:18.660 but no party seems too eager to take on those corporate buddies they love giving our money to.

00:27:24.780 Yeah. Unfortunately, we didn't see a lot of announcements or big cuts in either platform

00:27:28.980 for those things. We also saw the Liberals really doubling down and saying, we are keeping our

00:27:34.920 corporate welfare for electric vehicles or battery powered vehicles, damn it. Whereas I didn't really 0.60

00:27:41.560 see any change happening with the Conservative Party platform. I could stand corrected if I

00:27:46.120 just missed that in their platform. I apologize. But we have not heard a lot about them cutting

00:27:50.460 corporate welfare. And that has to happen. Like so many billions of dollars go out the door

00:27:56.280 where a government decides to play investment banker with your money. And it does two things.

00:28:01.800 One, it wastes money. Two, it warps the playing field for other companies who are not getting

00:28:08.240 government handouts. It makes it unfair. Very similar to what we're seeing with media, right?

00:28:13.720 With the government bankrolling media, okay, they're warping the playing field for direct

00:28:19.920 media or independent media. So you do that on a huge scale with something like a battery company

00:28:26.140 or an electric car company. Like seriously, why does Volkswagen need our money? Why does Ford,

00:28:32.620 the company need our money they don't they don't and it's funny um somebody had once

00:28:38.220 taken issue with me for using the term corporate welfare they're like oh that's mean to people on

00:28:43.840 welfare that's a very right-wing thing for you to say actually it was steven lewis hardcore lefty

00:28:49.740 that coined the term corporate welfare so i found that really interesting and we need to stop it

00:28:54.880 because it's a huge waste of money it absolutely is and as you mentioned with volkswagen and ford

00:28:59.380 it's not working. I mean, if at least they could point to a success and say, look at all the jobs

00:29:05.260 it created. Look at these factories that blossomed like daisies out there in Quebec and Ontario.

00:29:10.300 No, they took the money and ran. Yeah, because that's what happens when you get government

00:29:13.940 involved in this stuff. Government sucks at doing everything. They couldn't run a two-car parade, 0.97

00:29:18.380 but here they've got your wallet. I really needed to stress this here because you mentioned the

00:29:22.440 corporate welfare and that got me thinking about the ban, the very soon looming ban on the sale of

00:29:28.060 new gasoline and diesel powered vehicles. So starting next year, that's when the feds are

00:29:33.420 starting to force out normal sales of vehicles. And they're dictating what percentage have to be

00:29:39.600 battery powered or electric powered. Number one, that is a huge infringement on your private

00:29:44.320 property rights. You should be able to buy whatever kind of vehicle you want. Number two,

00:29:48.080 it's a huge waste of money. And three, we don't have the infrastructure for this.

00:29:52.960 So I've written about this before. And I sat there all along weekend a few weeks ago,

00:29:56.760 and I did the math. Keep in mind here in Alberta, for folks who aren't watching in Alberta,

00:30:01.880 our grid is so shaky that in the wintertime, we get emergency alerts on our phone saying,

00:30:07.820 don't use your hairdryer. You're going to cause a blackout. Imagine everybody plugging in their

00:30:12.740 vehicles on top of this. Corey, if you, if the fairy godmother from Cinderella, bibbidi-bobbidi-booed 0.73

00:30:19.560 everybody's vehicle and changed them all into an electric vehicle tomorrow, we would need at

00:30:26.420 least 13 huge can-do nuclear reactors. I'm talking the Darlington honkers in southern Ontario,

00:30:35.180 okay? 13 just for the juice. Just for the juice for passenger vehicles. I'm not touching commercial.

00:30:42.020 I'm not talking about trucking. I'm talking about our own personal vehicles. We need 13 of them.

00:30:46.440 They cost so much money to build. They take at least 10 years each to build, and we're not

00:30:51.420 building them. So we just do not have the infrastructure or the grid for this thing,

00:30:55.560 and it's going to cost so much money and carney's all for it i really hope people read carney's book

00:31:01.560 i sorry to rant cory but that's all right that's what this show is about he wants it's in his book

00:31:06.200 he wants 80 of our oil and gas to stay in the ground carney does he thinks that 90 it's all

00:31:13.080 through his book he believes that 90 of our energy requirements can come from wind and solar

00:31:18.760 so when he's telling the media he wants Canada to be an energy superpower he needs to say what

00:31:26.260 he means because I don't think you can aim sunshine down a pipe no well if Carney wins

00:31:33.080 and follows his own advice from his book at least I guess on my bright side I suspect my book will

00:31:37.980 suddenly be selling a heck of a lot faster than it has what was that about again that was about

00:31:42.060 what sending more money to Quebec wasn't that something like that I'll spare giving my self-serving

00:31:47.460 plug for now no it was it was on defending alberta folks all joking aside it was defending the west

00:31:53.220 against against ontario yeah you could say that uh okay well before i let you go where can people

00:31:58.100 find where you've been digging and writing and uh putting all this out for us oh please do uh head

00:32:02.900 on over to our website taxpayer.com we post all of our columns we write for the national post we

00:32:08.340 write for the western standard we put stuff in the sun all the time so all of our articles are there

00:32:12.900 but more importantly and i really mean this i know a lot of people are struggling right now

00:32:18.340 like 50 of canadians are broke 50 of canadians say they're within 200 bucks every month of not

00:32:24.180 being able to make the minimum payments on their bills and i just finished doing a book tour with

00:32:28.500 franco you know talking about his carbon tax book and we had people come up for pub nights

00:32:33.460 the fellowship means a lot to them because a lot of folks are feeling alone you're not alone so

00:32:39.460 I would strongly encourage you sign one of our petitions you don't need to donate or anything

00:32:44.180 it's free and then you're on our mailing list for the next time it's time to storm the castle and

00:32:48.760 send a bunch of emails to some overpaid politician but that does two things it gives you a voice and

00:32:53.680 agency because you're yelling at the guy who's taking your money but it gives you a sense of

00:32:57.840 fellowship because we interact with you ever since then and you lets you know you're not alone so

00:33:03.220 please head over to our website and sign up great well thank you very much for joining us today

00:33:09.200 chris you're overdue for a visit i think actually and yes please i appreciate the work you guys do

00:33:15.280 i really do so uh well we'll uh watch and wait and and hopefully uh some of the wisdom you've

00:33:20.800 spread is uh spread out to some of the voters we'll find out monday night likewise keep fighting

00:33:25.060 cory thank you all right thanks chris so again guys yes chris sims of the canadian taxpayers

00:33:29.520 federation yeah just google it up chris writes stuff as she said for the standard and and it

00:33:34.040 i've seen it from the sun and the national post and all over they dig into as it gets nerdy on

00:33:38.620 your behalf so you can get that encapsulated and just see what this system is doing to you,

00:33:44.880 what that cost is doing to you. And yes, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, they've been

00:33:48.560 around a long time and doing a lot of great work. So let's see. Well, I see him waiting in the

00:33:56.780 background there. We've got our own Sean Polzer. He's up in Edmonton. It's not as terrible as

00:34:01.280 sending him to Toronto for something. And he's at a hydrogen conference. How's it going, Sean?

00:34:06.220 Well, it's better than being bare ass in Anubic, Corey. 0.99

00:34:09.420 Yeah, true enough. 0.99

00:34:10.540 How is anything going down there?

00:34:13.420 No, there is that. So this is quite an affair going on. It was kind of quite a grab for

00:34:18.380 Alberta to be hosting this event, I imagine.

00:34:21.740 Yeah, it turns out Edmonton is kind of the center of this nascent hydrogen economy that's

00:34:29.260 budding, not just in Canada, but around the world. And it's an interesting event here.

00:34:36.220 um i caught the tail end of your conversation with chris uh so right behind me we have uh hydrogen

00:34:41.980 powered uh diesel semi well i guess it's not a diesel you can't really call it a diesel or if

00:34:46.460 it's powered by hydrogen i don't know what they're going to call those things hemis no it's already

00:34:52.460 been done so so uh premier smith you you had the chance to to interview her uh recently and talk

00:34:58.540 about this she really sees hydrogen as a potential uh future i guess to broaden alberta as an energy 0.92

00:35:03.900 producer oh yeah absolutely well we've got so much natural gas so um at the energy show in houston

00:35:11.340 they unveiled the the you know what a reserve report is i'm sure you do you're in the gas

00:35:15.580 industry you know it's basically just an inventory of all the resources that we have so in addition

00:35:21.020 to about uh six to seven billion barrels of oil we've got like quadrillions of cubic feet of gas

00:35:27.580 in the ground and much more gas than we are ever going to be able to use as you know even a country

00:35:34.460 of 30 or 40 million people so hydrogen yeah hydrogen is uh one way you can you make it's

00:35:41.100 called blue hydrogen so uh we've we've got a lot of the infrastructure already in place here because

00:35:47.100 we've been doing natural gas for a long time uh we've got a lot of the expertise um we've got the

00:35:52.860 rocks we've got the rewards now we just got to figure out what to do with it no no and that's

00:35:57.820 what the premier was saying is that we need some policy certainty um whoever wins on monday next

00:36:04.700 government is we're open to that conversation the conversation's happening um you know life

00:36:13.580 is moving on so uh now it's time to just kind of get on with it yeah so at this conference i mean

00:36:20.780 who's kind of gathered there these other hydrogen producers or potential investors or potential

00:36:26.540 customers like what is the gathering about sort of well we've got a really interesting mix um

00:36:31.980 there's quite a few people from asia from companies like mitsubishi and kawasaki you know ironically

00:36:38.220 at the same time that the premier is in asia there's people from asia that are over here

00:36:42.460 scoping things out what's kind of unique about this conference is um

00:36:46.540 Edmonton as you know is a service center and it's got the refineries and it's got the facilities

00:36:53.200 out here and so a lot of the initial hydrogen cap is just capturing it off the off the smokestacks

00:37:00.580 it's you know it's pretty low-hanging fruit and there's kind of an entrepreneurial community here

00:37:07.080 that's you know it's evolved from the oil and gas service sector that's ready to you know find ways

00:37:13.960 of taking advantage of some of these opportunities.

00:37:16.820 You know, but there again, you need investor certainty.

00:37:20.000 You need a regulatory framework.

00:37:24.480 A lot of questions.

00:37:26.500 Energy Minister Brian Jr. is going to be giving a talk here at about 2 o'clock

00:37:29.680 that I'm going to sit in, so we'll stay tuned for that

00:37:32.320 and see what they have to say.

00:37:33.420 But, yeah, the Premier's really upbeat on it.

00:37:38.220 Unlike oil and gas, we don't need big expensive pipelines

00:37:42.380 to get this stuff out onto

00:37:44.200 tidewater, you can convert

00:37:46.360 it into ammonia, which is

00:37:48.260 already very well established in the agricultural

00:37:50.420 community, and then

00:37:52.060 load it off ships and

00:37:54.160 Prince Rupert, put it on a train,

00:37:56.780 and away it goes.

00:37:57.800 No problems, no Bill C-69,

00:38:00.560 no nothing. It's just

00:38:02.220 a matter of will in doing it.

00:38:04.380 Right now, it's all about demand.

00:38:07.540 Finding new

00:38:08.340 uses for it. I know you guys were talking about the

00:38:10.100 subsidized EV batteries. Well,

00:38:12.100 this sucker is not subsidized well that's the main thing it's just stay out of the subsidies 0.72

00:38:17.120 and maybe i can support it uh yeah so uh well that's great i mean it's too bad that premier 0.78

00:38:23.780 smith happened to be overseas at the same time but i'm sure uh uh the alberta government as you

00:38:28.340 said mr gene's going to be well enough represented there uh because so we look forward to a couple

00:38:32.580 of stories coming from you on this to run it down for us yep for sure and then uh we're just uh

00:38:37.680 working on trying to stream over this interview that i had last night uh from south korea it's

00:38:42.700 unfortunately in edmonton the internet hasn't caught up the wife the free wi-fi hasn't caught

00:38:48.660 up with the rest of the technology uh innovation that we're seeing in this space so we're just

00:38:54.080 gonna have to kind of grit get our teeth and bare all right well i appreciate the update it's a

00:38:59.860 little loud there so i'll let you get back to uh rubbing shoulders with all those hydrogen people 0.54

00:39:04.720 I look forward to the new hippies of the energy economy.

00:39:09.660 There we go.

00:39:10.800 And there's a hockey game tonight, by the way.

00:39:13.140 And I'm from Edmonton, so you know what?

00:39:15.140 It's actually really nice to be back.

00:39:17.600 I'm appreciating the things I like about Edmonton.

00:39:22.340 Right on.

00:39:23.220 Well, enjoy what you can of it.

00:39:25.800 All right, John, thanks for checking in.

00:39:26.840 And we'll see you later on in the week.

00:39:27.880 You bet I'll see you at least at election night or Friday.

00:39:30.280 Oh, yeah.

00:39:31.320 Thanks.

00:39:32.500 So yeah, coming from the conference floor there, Sean Polzer.

00:39:35.660 I mean, it's interesting stuff.

00:39:36.960 You know, I mean, we can be an energy producer on a number of levels.

00:39:42.020 That's where I worry my alarm bells get going a little bit.

00:39:45.200 We've got to watch it is stay out of the subsidies.

00:39:49.360 Hey, if this is viable, we don't need to put tax dollars into it.

00:39:52.700 As Sean said, we need certainty, though.

00:39:54.440 You need regulatory certainty.

00:39:55.640 You need to know the government's going to allow you to develop it.

00:39:59.020 That's what we need to work on.

00:40:00.200 and uh we don't know what the next government's going to be like uh Jacqueline with a good

00:40:05.000 question uh how do you get the ammonia to tide water I think Sean briefly mentioned he was

00:40:08.860 talking we could probably do a lot of it by rail it's a more concentrated form uh though I'm not

00:40:13.940 an expert in hydrogen by by any means but it's something we we have an abundant ability to

00:40:18.100 produce uh I noticed uh who was it Jordan talking about a you know a hydrogen car hydrogen fuel cell

00:40:26.540 car. I'm not opposed to electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, any of these. They've just

00:40:34.000 got to be priced right and they've got to be useful. I don't want the government to have to

00:40:38.640 make it affordable to me because that means it's still just pulling it out of my pocket and

00:40:42.160 subsidizing it for me to buy it later. If the car can be delivered to market, it's reliable enough

00:40:47.640 and useful enough to me, I will move on to that. I live on a small acreage with limited

00:40:55.700 good flat ground on it. And I mean, I get my steps in every week because I kind of need some

00:40:59.940 exercise through mowing my lawn manually with a 20 inch mower. I like it. I like getting out and

00:41:06.160 pushing the mower around, but that little gas mower is getting towards his last legs. And I've

00:41:10.500 been looking, I've been looking at what's for sale now at, uh, you know, Home Depot places like that.

00:41:15.420 And you know what? Those electric mowers, finally, not the ones that were plugged in,

00:41:19.580 used to run the cord all the way to your house. And you'd usually run the thing over and cut your

00:41:22.980 own cord and make a mess. I remember those all too well. No rechargeable electric mowers. And

00:41:28.300 they've gotten really good and they've gotten into a price point. It starts to make sense. So I don't

00:41:33.300 have to deal with gasoline. I don't have to deal with, with the, just the noise or whatnot, even

00:41:39.740 I'm probably going to switch, but you know what? The reason I'm switching is because it serves me

00:41:44.040 not because the government told me to not because I want to be greener, not, uh, you know, any of

00:41:51.000 those things. It's because the mowers are now at a price point and a reliability level, and the

00:41:56.260 batteries hold a charge long enough that it's useful for me. And if it wasn't useful, I would,

00:42:01.900 the next mower I would go out would still be going out and getting a gas powered mower.

00:42:08.460 So let's see, dark groups saying on top of the fact, China controls over 60% of the minerals

00:42:12.900 in the world. We want to support slave labor. Okay. That's getting into a bigger discussion.

00:42:16.540 uh you know the irony the the hypocrisy though of green movements it's an interesting point as well

00:42:25.520 that people overlook they act as if alternative forms of energy somehow don't have an impact of

00:42:31.360 course they do and yes batteries one of the challenges with batteries is they use a heck of

00:42:36.560 a lot of uh minerals that that are very difficult and expensive to get and they can do a lot of

00:42:43.180 environmental damage in the processor is paradoxically pointing out too many batteries in the landfill

00:42:47.340 we got to watch how we're disposing of things these are problems that can be overcome but

00:42:51.960 they're still problems we can't pretend that there's not an impact in making these so i mean

00:42:57.720 if you're gonna do this cost benefit if you're talking again about uh you know fossil fuel

00:43:03.720 powered vehicles versus these battery powered ones well be fair with it look at it and and see

00:43:11.620 this isn't some emissions-free. I mean, there's an old cartoon that's been around for a long time

00:43:15.220 showing some, you know, vapid peckerhead with his electric vehicle saying, I'm greening the world,

00:43:20.840 look at that, you know, look at that nasty guy with a car with an exhaust pipe, and of course

00:43:24.200 it shows just a little cable going off in the background, and there's the energy plant pumping

00:43:27.800 out all the smoke from where it's making the electricity to power that car. Don't pretend

00:43:31.580 these things don't have an impact, it's just moving it somewhere else. So these discussions

00:43:37.380 got to go on. And it gets scary, as Chris was talking about, when the government's talking

00:43:42.400 about banning, you know, gas and diesel vehicles. This is stupid. We aren't ready to switch yet. 1.00

00:43:49.260 We aren't ready on every level. As she said, we don't have the generation capacity. These vehicles

00:43:53.860 aren't good enough yet. They aren't affordable enough yet. And this is going to really screw

00:44:00.360 our economy. We are a personal automobile owning economy. You know, I've only got a minute or two

00:44:06.320 left, so I can't go on the whole down road a bit. But I'll tell you what, one of the whole

00:44:09.760 underlying things where you get these socialists, these globalists, these authoritarian buttholes

00:44:14.540 who are constantly trying to control everything about us, you want to know one of the things they

00:44:18.380 hate is the personal automobile. It gives you agency, the ability to travel, the ability to

00:44:25.420 find a new job somewhere else, the ability to commute somewhere else, the ability to just go

00:44:29.080 wherever the hell you like, whenever you damn well like. They hate that. It's not the environment

00:44:33.440 that they're worried about when they don't like you having that car. It's your freedom they don't

00:44:38.040 like when you have that car. That's what bothers them. That's what it comes to when you get to,

00:44:43.900 it's similar to, I'll tie it all the way into the bike lanes and Mark Carney talking about

00:44:52.780 banning the other vehicles. It's not a matter save in the environment and they don't really

00:44:57.380 expect you to get into the electric vehicles. They also in the bike lanes, they don't expect

00:45:00.580 you to get on a bike and ride it. They want you to get on public transit. They want you to get on

00:45:05.180 government-owned, controlled transportation, where they will always have you under their thumb,

00:45:10.700 where you will never have that personal agency. You'll have to buy a ticket register and go where

00:45:14.680 they allow you to go. It's not a conspiracy, guys. Just look at it. It's just the reality.

00:45:20.420 The importance of the personal automobile is far more than a lot of people realize,

00:45:25.420 and we can't be giving it up all right that's what i got for today guys thanks for tuning in like i

00:45:31.660 said there's a lot this is an important crazy week uh tonight the pipeline will be on nigel and
