Post-apocalyptic: Even the govt sees a very dangerous future if we continue down the Liberal track
Apr 24, 2025
If I had said this myself you would have thought it was outlandish. But this is the government's own predictions about how bad things are headed right now. “People may start to hunt fish and forage on public lands and waterways because they can't afford groceries anymore.” This isn't my prediction. This is where the country is headed if we continue down the Liberal track. It sounds incredible, something from the post-apocalyptic TV show like Fallout or The Last of Us. But this is the forecast from Prime Minister Carney's own government department the Privy Council Office. ... Mr Carney has the same Liberal MPs, same Liberal ministers, same Liberal platform and you will get the same disastrous Liberal results. And it is a very dangerous future if the Liberals get their fourth term. And this isn't just my words; it's Mark Carney's own government department. Just a week ago we learned that one of the departments of the government, the Privy Council Office, has made some very depressing predictions about the way the country is headed.

for three Liberal terms Canada has had
0:02
the worst GDP per capita of any country
0:06
in the G7 Much of that while Mark Carney
0:09
was Justin Trudeau's economic adviser
0:12
And the OECD forecasts that Canada will
0:15
have the worst economic growth out of
0:18
all of its roughly 40 nations for the
0:21
next 30 years
0:24
Now you know you have to take into
0:26
consideration the context in which we're
0:28
announcing this platform for a
0:30
change Just Saturday Mark Carney
0:34
announced that not only will he keep all
0:36
of Justin Trudeau's reckless spending he
0:39
will add $130 billion more spending that
0:44
will drive costs higher for food housing
0:49
and everything else spending that will
0:51
risk our economy and threaten our future
0:54
It's not that Mark Carney is as bad as
0:56
Justin Trudeau He's far more costly We
1:00
also learned from media reports that the
1:03
Carney platform was already written for
1:05
Justin Trudeau So Mr Carney has the same
1:08
Liberal MPs same Liberal ministers same
1:12
Liberal platform and you will get the
1:14
same disastrous Liberal results
1:17
And it is a very dangerous future if the
1:20
Liberals get their fourth term And this
1:23
isn't just my words It's Mark Carney's
1:26
own government
1:27
department Just a week ago we learned
1:30
that one of the departments of the
1:33
government the privy council office has
1:35
made some very depressing predictions
1:38
about the way the country is headed
1:40
after a decade of liberal rule I'm going
1:43
to quote directly from this privy
1:44
council report In 2040 upward mobility
1:48
is almost unheard of in Canada They
1:51
predict hardly anyone believes they can
1:54
build a life a better life for
1:55
themselves or their children through
1:57
their own efforts and many worry about
1:59
sliding down the social order It
2:02
forecasts more people may struggle to
2:04
afford rent bills and groceries The
2:08
resulting stress could worsen mental
2:10
health challenges This would increase
2:12
demand for social
2:14
services And then there's some specific
2:17
forecasts that the the current Liberal
2:18
government is making about our future In
2:21
2040 owning a home is not a realistic
2:25
goal for many
2:26
Inequality between those who rent and
2:29
those who own has become a key driver of
2:31
social economic and political conflict
2:34
The report goes on to say that people
2:37
may lose faith in the Canadian project
2:39
altogether It forecasts that many will
2:43
leave the country to avoid this rising
2:47
cost and declining opportunity And they
2:50
believe that it will lead to a mental
2:51
health crisis More people will immigrate
2:53
to jurisdictions where they believe
2:55
upward mobility andor higher social uh
2:57
higher standards of living are easier to
3:01
obtain Quote "If young people if young
3:04
workers leave Canada it may become
3:06
harder to pay for the systems that
3:07
support a growing number of older
3:08
people." It says things are so bad that
3:12
and this is a quote I'm quoting from the
3:14
government here If I had said this
3:16
myself you would have thought it was
3:18
outlandish but this is the government's
3:19
own predictions about how bad things are
3:21
headed right now People may start to
3:24
hunt fish and forage on public lands and
3:29
waterways because they can't afford
3:31
groceries
3:33
anymore This isn't my prediction This is
3:36
where the country is headed if we
3:38
continue down the liberal track It
3:41
sounds incredible something from the
3:42
post-apocalyptic TV show like Fallout or
3:45
The Last of Us but this is the forecast
3:48
from Prime Minister Carney's own
3:51
government department the Privy Council
3:55
Office
3:56
Now Mr Carney plans uh to continue the
4:00
very policies that got us into this mess
4:02
in the first place In fact he plans to
4:05
go even further $130 billion of
4:08
additional spending above and beyond
4:10
what Justin Trudeau had already promised
4:12
will take the new debt that Liberals are
4:15
projected to add over the next four
4:17
years to a quarter trillion dollars of
4:20
inflationary
4:22
costdriving that threatens our social
4:25
programs and our future But to pay for
4:28
it they'll have to print even more money
4:29
and hike taxes even higher with
4:31
inflation driving up grocery costs
4:34
housing and gas even worse just like the
4:37
last 5 years when he was Trudeau's
4:39
economic adviser Question
4:42
Mr Paulie of Joe Warington from the
4:44
Toronto Sun and Post Media Hey Joe nice
4:46
to be here today and thank you
4:50
I would be remiss as a reporter to not
4:52
talk about what you talked about and I
4:55
want to talk about the platform but just
4:56
Before that you mentioned about this
4:59
report out of the Privy Council Yeah Now
5:01
as a crime reporter if you will when I
5:04
hear something like that I cannot
5:05
believe what I've heard and it's such a
5:07
stark contrast to what you um talked
5:10
about in your platform But I do want to
5:12
go back if you can address that how
5:14
that's going to help fix it But that is
5:16
the most negative thing in my 40 years
5:18
in journalism that I've ever heard about
5:20
Canada I don't see it too many places in
5:23
the media and I think it can't be
5:25
glossed over So I'd like to to uh to
5:28
talk about that and how you're going to
5:29
fix that if you win on uh next week I
5:33
think you're absolutely right I am I am
5:34
shocked that like this is not
5:38
um a an interest group or an opinion
5:44
columnist or even a think tank that has
5:48
put out this report It is and it is not
5:51
even just a government department
5:54
It is the prime minister's personal
5:58
department Like I think somebody has to
6:00
ask Mark Carney has he seen this report
6:03
his department wrote it And what they
6:06
are what they are anticipating on the
6:08
current
6:09
trajectory is a total meltdown a
6:12
societal breakdown in
6:15
Canada if we stay on the current track
6:19
Why this isn't blazing the head the the
6:22
front pages of every news outlet in the
6:24
country right now is beyond me It's just
6:29
unbelievable
6:31
Unbelievable Like just
6:34
just it blows my mind what they're
6:36
actually saying is that I'm just going
6:39
to read some of these More people this
6:41
is for the future This is not it's not
6:42
enough for Mr Carney to say "Oh well the
6:44
last 10 years is in the past Forget
6:46
about it Stop bothering me about the
6:47
past." He will say this is the predicted
6:50
future his department foresees for
6:52
Canada More people may struggle to
6:54
afford rent bills or groceries The
6:56
resulting stress could worsen mental
6:58
health challenges This would increase
7:00
demand on social services In 2040 up
7:04
upward social mobility is almost unheard
7:08
of in Canada Hardly anyone believes that
7:10
they can build a better life for
7:12
themselves or their children through
7:14
their own efforts Many worry about
7:17
sliding down the social order In 2040
7:20
owning a home is not a realistic goal
7:23
for many Inequality between those who
7:26
rent and those who own has become a key
7:29
driver of social economic and political
7:32
conflict In 2040 pursuing a post-secary
7:35
education is no longer considered a
7:37
reliable path to social mobility Fewer
7:40
young people choose post-secary
7:42
education and those who do see it less
7:44
as a path to a successful career than a
7:47
way to reinforce their membership in the
7:49
quote elite That's not my words That's
7:50
the government's words The reports
7:53
paints a terrifying picture of a spiral
7:56
of economic depression and cost
7:58
inflation People may lose faith in the
8:01
Canadian project It says it forecasts
8:05
that this may trigger people to quote
8:07
immigrate to jurisdictions where they
8:09
perceive upward social mobility or other
8:12
higher standards of living are easier to
8:14
obtain If young workers leave it may
8:17
become harder to pay for our social
8:19
programs for the older people in the
8:21
country And then this this this last
8:23
line is just it staggers me that because
8:26
groceries are expected to become so
8:28
expensive according to Mr
8:31
Carney's top government department
8:34
People may start to hunt fish and forage
8:37
on public lands and waterways Like this
8:40
is it is it is just hard to believe when
8:44
you read these words that this is about
8:49
Canada This is exactly why I'm in
8:51
politics to reverse this to give people
8:53
back the promise of this country And we
8:56
know what to do We know how to get there
8:58
We have to unleash a plan for change A
9:01
plan that will cut people's taxes so
9:04
their hard work pays off That will
9:06
remove bureaucracy so we can build over
9:09
2 million homes That will lock up the
9:11
violent criminals That will
9:13
unleash our resources to generate a a
9:16
half a trillion dollars of extra
9:19
economic growth That will fund schools
9:21
and hospitals and opportunity for our
9:23
people That's what's at stake
9:28
That's what change means
