Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio. Welcome to Policy and Rights, the show about the government, policy and human rights. Welcome back to Policy and right here in Depictions Media Radio. I'm your host, Michael Kloggs. Well, we're going to hear from mister Polvier today and we're also going to hear some updates on what's happening in Ukraine and Occupied Palestine. But we have a BBC update confronting violence. Settlers together and this is about some of the Israeli
settlers and Palestinians kind of working together. As we know that that after October seventh, that harassment to the Palestinians by Israel Israeli groups has increased. And this is about a group of shepherds just working together. Only a few would talk in the in the in the hills, not to be on their guard. A high alert. Opposite the hills was a Jewish settlement of Ratim, close by Israel's
Defense forces post there to protect the settlers. Any anyone looking down would see a gathering at Amid Ride's home. The Palestinian shepherd, the Israeli activists, who's who support him, the foreign journalists with him on camera chatting to augment was a seventy one year old Jewish man who regularly occupies the shepherds the shepherd into the hills in spite
of the violence harassment. Gil Alexander belongs to the Jordan Valley Activists, a group of Israelis committed to protecting Palestinians, and he says, I feel like a representative of a humanitarian religious Judaism. There are few in Israel today. The fact that he is a devout religious Jew infuriates the settlers who believe the West Bank belongs to the West Bank, the ancient lands of Judea and Samaria belonged to the
Jewish people. And the thing is, as a Gil would would say in this is that the actions of the Zionists are are a few, and the majority people want to want everyone just to work together. And it's something that we've been saying through our podcast a whole time that there are two sides of extremists that have brought this whole thing to a ballt of who can cause the most destruction while the average person is left with their homes sitting in the rubble and their livelihoods decimated.
So our hopes, our prayers to the Palestinians who just want to live together in peace, along with those Jewish settlers who want the same. The if we if we actually look at the West Bank, as they say, the lands of Judea and Samaria, that they belong to all of those who are brothers in Abraham. So okay, So moving forward, we're going to hear more updates from the United Nations about what is happening in the occupied areas
of Palestine and Gaza. We're also going to hear from mister Povier as he speaks about extending tariffs to Chinese products, especially those that are going into electric cars, to protect Canadian jobs. They question is that a sound thing or is it just rhetoric to try to get him elected one is MPN or two as Prime Minister. So we will get to that also, But first, why don't we go with the United Nations update as they talk about
the occupied Palestinian territories. Turning to the situation in Gaza. For Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, says we have partners estimate that at least sixty thousand Palestinians may have moved forward western to con Jsez in the past seventy two hours. This follows yesterday's order by israel military for in parts of the central and eastern khan Joss to immediately evacuate. On Wednesday, the Israeli military twice order people in parts
of northern Gaza to evacuate. There's updates from Yemen. In Yemen, the response to for an update on the floods in western parts of the country, The Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs report that partners are delivering supplies and assistance to the people in the affected areas. The situation is constantly changing and the initial reports indicate at least ten thousand families have been impacted Tuesday when heavy rainfall triggered
flash flooding. So why do we move forward and listen to the whole update as given by Florentia Soto Nino.
Okay, well, good afternoon and happy Friday. Have quite a few notes for you today, so please spare with me. So earlier today, Issumi Nakamitsu, the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, delivered the Secretary General's message to the Nagasaki Peace Memorial. And nearly eighty years have passed since Nagasaki was incinerated by an atomic weapon, but sadly the memories are still fresh for those that endure this horrific catastrophe, the Secretary
General said. Eliminating these weapons is our highest disarmament priority, he said, adding that he worries the lessons of nearly eight decades ago have not been learned. The Secretary General set next month Summit of the Future will be a critical opportunity for countries to renew their commitment to multilateralism, sustainable development and peace and adopt an actionable and forward looking pact for the Future to that end. Disarmament and a world free of nuclear weapons, he said, must be
a central part of these efforts. And now turning to the situation in Gaza, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says the UN and our partners, but we on our partners estimate that at least sixty thousand Palestinians may have moved towards Western conunits in the past seventy two hours. This follows yesterday's order by the Israeli military for residents in parts of Central and Eastern con units to immediately evacuate. On Wednesday, the Israeli military twice ordered
people in parts of northern Gaza to evacuate. OCHA says the parts of northern and southern Gaza newly placed under evacuation this week encompassed nearly forty three square kilometers. Initial tracking buyer partners in Gaza say these areas include some two hundred and thirty displacement sites, more than three dozen water sanitation and hygiene facilities, and five functional health facilities,
including the Indonesian Hospital. More than eighty percent of the Gaza Strip is now assessed as having been placed under evacuation orders since October last year. OCHA says the entry of eight supplies into Gaza remains challenging due to active hostilities, access constraints, high levels of insecurity, the lack of public order and safety, and other factors. As a result, the volume of aid able to be brought from the operational border crossings into Gaza has decreased by more than half
since early May, when the Rafa crossing was closed. It has gone from a daily average of one hundred and sixty nine trucks in April to fewer than eighty trucks in June and July. At the Karamshalam crossing, the decrease was even steeper over the past three months, with a more than eighty percent drop in eight cargo that was brought into Gaza from that border crossing. Meanwhile, humanitarian assistance missions requiring coordination with Israeli authorities continue to be denied
and impeded. OCHA reports that as of yesterday, just twenty four of the sixty seven planned aid missions to Northern Gaza this month have been facilitated by Israeli authorities. The rest were either denied, impeded, or canceled due to security, logistical or operational reasons. The same was true for Southern Gaza. Out of nearly one hundred plant humanitarian missions, about half were facilitated by Israeli authorities, and again the rest were denied, impeded,
or canceled. And in Yemen, you had asked us yesterday for an update on the floods in the western part of the country. Our colleagues from the Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs report that we and our partners are delivering supplies and assistance to people in the affected areas.
The situation, however, is constantly changing, but initial reports indicate that at least ten thousand families have been impacted Tuesday, when heavy rainfall triggered flash floating in several parts of Alha, Data, Haja, Raima and Almavid governorates, damaging homes, farms and infrastructure, and this number is highly likely to increase as more information
becomes available. Both the World Health Organization and UNICEF have been delivering much needed medical supplies to local hospitals, hospitals and health centers, as well as preparing to deploy dozens of mobile health teams. Partners have provided immediate assistance, including food, water and hygien kits to more than sixteen hundred people
in affected areas, with additional resources being mobilized. An estimated four point eight million will be needed to provide priority support to families, but as with almost all our humanitarian response efforts, underfunding is a major challenge there. And turning to Libya, the UN mission there today express its concern at the recent mobilization of forces in various parts Libya,
particularly in the southern and western regions. It commends on going efforts to de escalect the situation and prevent further tension. It also urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint and avoid any provocative military actions that could be perceived as offensive and might jeopardize the country's fragile stability and the
safety of its people. The Mission calls for continued communication and coordination between forces affiliated to the Libyan National Army and Government of National Unity, and the Mission stands ready
to facilitate dialogue and provide technical expertise and support. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, The head of the International Organization for Migration, Amy Pope, has just concluded a visit there with a call for urgent and concerted action to stem the worsening humanitarian situation in the country's east. Fighting in eastern Congo has displaced over seven million people
from their homes, many of them multiple times. In other areas of the country, including around the capital Kinshasa, reigns and flooding have displaced tens of thousands of more people.
Mispope said that we need to bring together efforts across the humanitarian, development and p sectors to drive comprehensive, innovative, sustainable solutions, putting affected people at the center, and she also renewed our call on all parties to the conflict to respect international humanitarian law ensure the protection of civilians and facilitate the safe and one hundred delivery of aid and a reminder that the two point six billion humanitarian
response plant is only thirty three percent funded at the moment and staying in the country. Our human rights colleagues there have issued today their latest update covering the first six months of the year. Basically, it says that between January and June they have documented three hundred and fifty five human rights violations that affected over six three hundred people. This, they say, represents a fifteen percent increase in the numbers
of people impacted by human rights violations. Armed groups were found responsible for nearly three out of four violations document documented and the full report is available online. Turning to Ukraine, the outgoing Humanitarian Coordinator there, Denis Brown has condemned a deadly attack that killed and injured dozens of civilians in the eastern town and Berwami of Kostiantinivka in the Dnesque
region just hours ago. In a statement, Miss Brown said civilians are paying the highest price for the war, price for the war and underscored that we must not allow this to be normalized. Ocha says that escalating attacks emboded Donesque and Sumi regions over the past the days of killed and injured civilians there and damaged the infrastructure that they rely on, and increasing attacks in the Donesque region are deepening the needs of some sixty thousand people in
impacted communities. The towns of Mirnarat, Pokrovsk and Tordesk have endured repeated strikes since early August, causing casualties and damage to homes, schools and health facilities, as well as the displacement of nearly five thousand people. Our humanitarian colleagues also tell us that the despite the risks, many civilians, especially older people, are reluctant to leave, and they are struggling to meet their basic needs at a time when ongoing
hostilities are making humanitarian access more difficult. In the face of these challenges, AID workers continue to assist those most affected in the dones region and those who have fled, including by providing food, hedgiene supplies, school materials, cash assistance, and legal and psychological support. And on a related note, as you noticed, I said outgoing Resident Coordinator Dennis Brown. So the Secretary General has appointed Mattia Schmalett of Germany
as the new Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine. With the host government's approval, he will start his work on eleventh of August. Mister Schmale succeeds Miss Brown, to whom the Secretary General is grateful for her dedicated service and he brings more than thirty years of experience in humanitarian
and development work. He has served as Senior Advice to the UN Development Coordinations Office Regional Team for Africa in several positions with NRA, the International Recross and Recrescent Movement
and NGOs at a global, regional and country level. And there's much more information on his bio online and I have a statement issued today by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO, which said it is monitoring attacks and threats against journalists and the agency noted that in recent months, multiple journalists covering protests in different parts of the world have been subjected to various forms of attacks,
including killings, injuries, arbitrary detentions, and confiscation of their equipment while exercising their rightful duties as journalists. UNESCO recalls that all authorities concerned have the duty and responsibility to ensure the safety of journalists covering protests around the world. In
accordance with international norms and human rights obligations. Finally, today is the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, and a message for the day, the Secretary General says that indigenous peoples are the keepers of knowledge and traditions that help safeguard some of the most biodiverse eras of our planet, and as guardians of the environment, their survival is our survival.
On Sunday and on Sunday it's World steel Pan Day. Steelpan, if you do not know, is a musical instrument originating in Trinida and Tobago, and it possess a sculptural and historical significance. And that is it for me. So I will now turn two questions.
I will start with Gabriel, Thank you, Florencia. The US Egyptian Qatar have proposed ceasefire talks either in Doha or Cairo for August fifteenth. As a Secretary of General, has he been briefed on this and what's his general stance on this? And will think will there any be any un participation.
That you know of?
Yeah, we are aware of the developments as of now, I'm not aware of any participation, but of course I think any movement that gets the parties closer to US ceasefire is very welcome by us. Obviously, we've been we've been talking about it for months and months, and any anything working towards that end is very much welcomed.
And how critical are these talks at this moment? This is a Secretary of General believe.
Honestly, I think that talks have been critical this entire time. We've been calling for talks and negotiations over escalation, and I think that the current humanitarian situation, the one that I just read, makes it even more critical. People have been displaced many times now. We have said repeatedly there is no safe place in Gaza, and talks really are we believe the only way forward. Nothing else is, nothing else has worked. We hope that a ceasefire is the first step.
And in southern Lebanon Israeli there's been several Israeli attacks over the last twenty four hours in towns in southern Lebanon. How worried is a Secretary General that that's escalating an already tense situation along that line.
Well, he's also been very clear about this. We've been warning about the regional escalation. We've been seeing it happen slowly, sometimes not that slowly, and I think it's still a concern, and we, of course call for the de escalation and expansion territorily of this conflict. Can I do one more yes, of course.
Thanks. Switching to Russia and Ukraine. I noticed that the Secretary General condemned the attacks in Dunesque, but his office has been very quiet. When we've asked him the last his office the last few days about Ukraine's incursion in to Russian territory in the Kursk region, You've said that you are waiting for more information. It's now going on five days. What is the UN's position on the fact that Ukraine is sending in troops into Russian territory.
I think, as we've been saying, we're closely monitoring the developments. I think while we gather this information, it might not be as quick as you would like. But at the same time, we don't have a ground presence there to verify this. We raterate our call for all concerned to act responsibly and ensure the protection of civilians, and we just further rador ate the Secretary General's calls on all parties to prevent further escalation.
Deji, Yeah, box us in the Nagumba became the first refugee Olympic team athletes who won a medal in the Olympics. What does the Secretary General, what message does the secret General have for missed Nogamba.
I think I think our message is one of well, first of all, extreme extremely proud of these extraordinary efforts. I think it's just another example of how refugees, if given the chance, they're extremely resilient, they're extremely talented and hardworking. And these are people just like us that they just had this extraordinary circumstances. But even under extraordinary circumstances, they have dedicated themselves to this one goal and it paid off.
And of course for us it's a source of pride as of course we are all at the O and all of us are team refugees, So very heart for all. Congratulations and may.
I have another question, since you've talking about the Nakasaki peace ceremony, I noticed that in the message that's the US genakamits delivered on behalf of the Secrets General, she did not mention anything about why this tragedy happened in Nagasaki as well as Hiroshima.
Why I mean, I think, honestly, looking back, I mean.
This is a As a Chinese, I feel like I'm quite entitled to ask this.
Question, right, You are entitled to ask any question you want, Deji, and I will answer as I see it. Basically, I think it is a historical event that what we focus on, obviously as the UN is the insane humanitarian the insane impact it had on the lives, the lives that were lost, the many many lives that would lost. And also our focus today is on preventing this from happening again. I think that you can look into the reasons. This is not for me to debate, but for historians to debate.
Of course, we know there are all these arguments of why this happened, how it happened. But for us, I think our main focus is on ensuring that it does not happen again. And I think this is why, and especially I think the message focused a lot on you know, we think this is a thing of the past, but it is not, and we are seeing it everywhere. We are seeing talks of biological weapons, nuclear weapons escalations, and I think for us we focus more on the forward,
on the future, and on the Prevention and Disarmament. Yes, please, I don't know your name, but I know you're from AP Yeah, my name is Jade Lozata.
My question is if you have any comment on the cybersecurity bill that just passed the committee level.
Yes, I think I don't know if you have seen the and I have it somewhere in here. I don't know if you have seen, but there I think we had a press release on this one second mm hmmmm. So it's as you know it is. It is a draft convention and it is expected to be adopted by the GA later this year. It would be the first
global legally binding instrument on cyber crime. I mean it represents it's the result of five year effort by UN member states with the imput input of civil society, academic institutions, and the private sector. So you know, this was very much a UN member state led effort, and so we'll let members state speak to that. But I think it's good.
We welcome the fact that they were able to pass this this convention, this draft convention, and we'll see what happens at the g A. And if you want a little bit more information, and I can also give it to you after any other questions. No, great, happy Friday and farrehand will be with you on Monday. Thank you.
H Is we have a question online please.
Before I go, Yes, please, I'm sorry? Is it what she fick him?
Yes?
Hi?
How are you?
Can you hear me?
Yes?
I can hear you? Please go ahead?
How does the Secretary General view Bangladesh's new interim government led by Nobel Laureate Professor Mohammad Yunus, which took office the day before you started, following the fall of Chekasina's regime.
I believe you asked this for about Farhan to Farhan yesterday. I really have nothing else to add. I mean, what we welcome is the fact that there seems to be an inclusive process for forming a government, and of course we hope that that continues. And also, of course we welcome any science that there is a lessening of violence and more restraints in the country. But I don't have anything else further to add. I believe there's someone else kareem okay.
So next up we're going to hear from the Conservative leader Conservative Party leader Pierre Povier as he vows that the Conservative government would protect jobs by matching us tariffs on Chinese produced electric vehicles and ev components, including steel and aluminium. The announcement takes place in Hamilton, Ontario and at the city Steel stell Co Steel plant. He is actually has a backdrop, if you can actually find any video of this on YouTube, he has a backdrop of
proposed steel workers who are applauding him. So the question is is this more rhetoric from the Conservative government as opposed to rhetoric from the NDP or the or the Liberals. And the fact matter still remains that all the parties seem to be out of touch with what is going on with people and the fact that we have high inflation,
the fact that the costs for a rental. It's like in this area, there's there is an area called the Catchlana that isn't too far away from where I'm broadcasting from. And for a five hundred square foot apartment apartment that they want almost three thousand dollars a month for it,
and that's considered to be affordable. Something's something is definitely not right with government when things like that are being labeled affordable when there's not much of a chance it's that the average family can afford that and that's what is affordable to Canada. What can the average family afford. So let's listen to what mister Povier had to say as he appeared from Hamilton, Ontario talking about terrors against China.

U Now see thank you now in English, thank you very much to the great workers of Stellco, the great workers.
Of our all this steel plant.
Here they are the greatest workers in the world. In this one hundred and fifteen year old plant. Four generations, over a century, workers from around the world came to call Canada home, and when they arrived in Hamilton, they were given a chance to work making steel. Now, all these years later, these workers continue to galvanize and cool roll that steel. They bring it to the market and
countless different products that Canadians take for granted. They built the city, they built the hammer with their hard work. They are the backbone of our nation. We used to have a promise in Canada. Here was the deal.
Hard work got you a powerful paycheck that bought an.
Affordable, affordable home and food in safe neighborhoods. That deal, like everything else. After nine years of Justin Trudeau is broken. Inflation is at a forty year high. Housing costs have doubled nationwide and tripled in Hamilton. It's now impossible for your standard manufacturing job to pay enough to buy a home in most major markets. Housing costs have risen faster in the last nine years in Canada than in any other G seven country, and they're almost twice as high
as in the neighboring United States. Towns, Crime, chaos, drugs, and disorder are rampant in our streets and you would think that the NDP would be outraged by this. They used to stand up for the working men and women, but nope, they've signed on jag meat. Singh is delaying the election until next year, when he qualifies for a pension two point two million.
Dollars paid for by these hard working people. Sell out.
Singh has betrayed these workers. He gets his pension, Trudeau gets power, these workers get the bill. Now, Trudeau's policies have gotten even worse. He's bringing in a sixty one cent a leater carbon tax that will add up to three hundred million dollars in costs for this plant alone, bleeding more of our jobs and paychecks to other countries around the world. As a result, Canada's middle class is now far poorer than the United States. We have the
slowest growing economy in the OECD. Our economy is shrunk more than any other G seven country, most of which have actually grown. The carbon tax is killing twenty five billion dollars a year of wages and other benefits for families, and he's blocking resource projects, so oil gas and mining production go to dirty dictatorships rather.
Than coming here to Canada.
Meanwhile, the Communist Party in Beijing, which Justin Trudeau says he admires so much, is exploiting weak labor and environmental standards to produce artificially cheap steel, aluminum, and evs that create more pollution. They have stolen technology from Western countries, limited access to global supply chains that have massively subsidized steel, aluminum,
and EV industries. They're doing this with a goal of crushing our steel, our aluminum, and our automotive automotive production and taking.
Our jobs away.
Trudeau has failed to protect our workers against this economic predation. In fact, he's refused to match US tariffs on Chinese made electric vehicles. The US first introduced tariffs to counteract Chinese made vehicles years ago, and other tariffs have now been in place for six years. Meanwhile, Trudeau has done nothing to protect our workers and our jobs. Worse than that, this is where it gets really crazy. He's giving out rebates for people to buy Chinese made cars.
So let's get this straight.
Justin Trudeau and sell out Singh want to give taxpayer funded subsidies for.
Buying Chinese made cars while.
They impose tax penalties on the manufacturing of Canadian made cars. No wonder, hundreds of billions of dollars have left our country and are creating jobs in other countries. Canada's workers are the best in the world. They deserve powerful paychecks and a prime minister who will protect them rather than allowing authoritarian overseas governments to steal our jobs with their
low labor standards and poor environmental policies. We're going to bring home those paychecks to Canada, bring home our jobs, thank you. And that is why common sense conservatives are calling for the introduction of a one hundred percent tariff on made in China evs entering Canada, two, a fifty percent tariff on semiconductors and solar cells, three a twenty five percent tariff on steel and aluminum, graphite and other critical minerals, EV batteries, battery parts, permanent magnets and ship
to shore cranes. And four the cancelation of taxpayer funded rebates for Chinese made vehicles. A common sense conservative government will also repeal C. Sixty nine, the anti resource law, and replace it with a new law that yes, protects the environment and consults first nations, but also gets projects approved so that we can dig the mines, build the pipelines, produce the clean Canadian natural gas, and turn dollars for dictators into paychecks for our people in this country. Bring
it home. Within sixty days of becoming Prime Minister, I will launch a Tax Reform Task Force. The design for me a bring it Home tax cut. That will be a tax cut on work, investment and making stuff in Canada. We want this to be the best place in the world to invest in a new steel mill, dig a new mine, hire another worker. We will bring home powerful paychecks and production to this country. Very simply when you look around here at this amazing coiled steel, the best
products in the world. We want these products made by our workers on our land under our flag.
That is what it means to bring it home. Thank you very much, good.
Thank you.
Well, now have time for questions from the floor.
Oh sorry, Hi, good morning. Smoan Gabbros with hcch News. My question is related to safety in the city. The Taxport of Canada and downtown Hamilton recently closed and they were citing us gun violence safety.
In the city there. My question is what's your.
Reaction to this and what are conservative MPs doing to address gun violence and cities similar to Hamilton.
Thank you for an excellent question.
It's really tragic that our once safe cities have been taken over by crime, chaos, drugs and disorder. Trudeau and the NDP have brought in catch and release criminal justice policies that allow the same repeat violent gun criminals to be released within hours of their arrest to do the same crime all over again. Trudeau has failed to protect our borders against gun smugglers, and that's why the guns keep coming in. Licensed, law abiding, trained and tested hunters
and sports shooters are not the problem. The problem is the criminals. So common sense conservatives, we'll repeal the NDP liberal catch and release criminal justice policy and bring jail and not bail for repeat violent offenders. We will secure the borders to stop smuggling of firearms, and we will pay for it by ending the insane confiscation of hunting rifles. Justin Trudeau blames Grandpa Joe's hunting rifle. I know, Grandpa
Joe is not the problem. The problem is the criminals we need to lock up and the smugglers.
We need to block.
I want to protect Canadians from criminals. He wants to protect turkeys from hunters. You decide which one makes most sense.
Thank you, Thank you. Next question, Good morning, Miss pobably Eva.
David Menzies with Rebel News, staying with the theme of bringing home our jobs. The unemployment rate for young people aged fifteen to twenty four has jumped in the past year from ten point six percent to thirteen point five percent. That's nearly an increase of three percent in just one year. There are four hundred and twenty two thousand young people unemployed, and yet the Trudeau Liberals have brought in more than
seven hundred and fifty thousand temporary workers. And these workers are taking the jobs that normally young Canadians would start out with, fast food jobs, convenience star jobs, etc. Why are we bringing in cheap foreign workers to undercut young Canadians just so that massive corporations like Tim Horton's can save a few bucks an hour? And what would a conservative government do to reverse this trend?
Thank you very much.
Look, Trudeau's destroyed our entire immigration system and he has expanded the temporary foreign worker program by well over two hundred percent at a time when we're losing jobs. When I was responsible for that program in twenty fifteen, we had only sixty thousand temporary foreign workers. Now it's close
to two hundred thousand. And on top of that, you have international students who are effectively temporary foreign workers that came under the wrongs dream our Temporary Foreign worker program should only be available to fill jobs that employers have proven, beyond a doubt cannot be filled by Canadians. It should never be used to bring in low wage workers from poor countries to take jobs away from or suppress the
wages of Canadian workers. I challenge Canadian business to hire Canadian workers first, and I challenge the government to end the chaos in the Temporary foreign worker program, bring the numbers down and allow Canadians to get good, solid paying jobs that will give them enough money to buy an affordable home and food in safe neighborhoods.
Thank you, thank you. Next question.

Hi so sorry. I'm Karen from Flamborough.
Today.
I guess more jobs, bringing jobs home. That's one part of the puzzle. The cost of living is extremely high. I think everybody behind you can probably attest to that. What is the plan I guess when it comes to the grocery store, when it comes to the cost of rent, that sort of thing is Is there something you have in mind?
Yeah, thank you, thank you, terrific question. You're you're right.
After nine years of Trudeau, everything costs more, work doesn't pay. Housing costs have literally doubled here in Hamilton, they have tripled. My common sense plan is to ax the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime. Ax the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime. We will ax the carbon tax to lower the cost of gas, heat and grocery bills and to make Stellco competitive so that it doesn't have to lay off these workers.
Trudeau's carbon tax.
We'll probably shut down this steel plant if he goes ahead with the increases that he's promised while continuing to bring in cheap subsidized steel from China.
Second, we need to fix the budget.
By capping government spending and cutting government waste, we can bring down debt, inflation and interest rates.
And finally, we need to build the homes.
I will require municipalities free up land, speed up permits, and cut building tax as a condition of getting their federal funding, with the goal of building fifteen percent more homes per year. The reason housing is unaffordable we don't have enough homes. We have the fewest homes per capita in the G seven, even though we have the most land to build on. That's because of our horrendous bureaucracy. I will require local governments clear the bureaucracy to build
fifteen percent more per year. We'll sell off six thousand federal buildings, thousands of acres of federal land to build, build, build, and we'll back the trades because we need boots not suits to build the homes of the future. Get our kids in the trades right out of high school, and make sure that training money goes to them, give tax fairness for traveling trades workers.
We're building those affordable homes.
That is how we will make it possible for people to earn a powerful paycheck that buys affordable foods and.
Homes in safe neighborhoods.
Thank you.

This will be the final question. Good morning, sir, Global News. My question is to do with a terror at talk plotted in Toronto and one of the two men charged with plotting the terror attacked in Toronto. He came to Canada from abroad and became a citizen after he's alleged who appeared in an ISIS video just membering a prisoner of ISIS. Would you dedicate more resources to security screening in the immigration and citizenship system.
Yes, Justin Trudeau spends our resources trying to ban plastic straws and hunting rifles while he opens our borders up to potential terrorists and other security risks. We have in this case, an alleged ISIS terrorists who seems to have appeared in a video mutilating another human being, cutting another human being to pieces on a crucifix in the Middle East. And then this person who allegedly did this act was granted access to this country and has been newly charged
with another alleged terrorist defense on our soil. Justin Trudeau is not worth the risk and the danger is radical reckless policies are putting Canadian lives at risk. A poly have led, common sense, conservative government. We'll secure our borders to keep the terrorists out and keep our nation strong and free.
Thank you very much.
Okay, so what do we wrap this up with some final thoughts here the as we know in the United States are coming up for election, and not to follow too much too much after that election, that we're going to see Canada heading into an election, which case there's still a lot of controversy around is mister Trudeau going to continue as leader of the Liberal Party or is he going to step away and somebody else is going to step in his place, which no one is seeming
to want to step up to the plate. But we did see a similar situation to that with the INDP
government here in British Columbia. Then all of a sudden, David Eby appeared to be uncontested, and I say appeared to be uncontested because there was some controversy around somebody else who did want to run for the leadership of that of the bc DP party, but they were immediately disqualified because they accepted funding from a what was to be determined to be a unreputable source of funding, and David Ebe was placed into the leadership position without a
real election. Are we going to see something like that happen as mister Trudeaux steps away, You know, all of a sudden somebody appears and then the Liberals again get get to continue their government as maybe the whole liberal thing we need to change. Maybe we need some sort of change, Maybe we need a national NDP change. Who knows what it is advocating for one party or the other.
I'm just saying that we need to all make sure we get out there and vote and make sure that our voices are heard at the polls so that we can see the changes in our society that we really want. Thank you for listening to policy and rights today.
