Justin Trudeau's wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, sings a song at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. Is she a better singer than her husband, the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau? Ezra takes a look at it.
00:18:06.360What if you're in an electric plane and it's only got a few minutes left in its range?
00:18:12.920Who would possibly get aboard a passenger aircraft in Canada, the second largest country in the world, one of the coldest countries in the world, that has a 200-kilometer range?
00:24:29.200Oh, and also I just want to say if you're watching this on YouTube, well, maybe you should watch it on one of the other platforms that we have going.
00:24:35.380Something that's a little less censored.
00:24:49.680So, again, a lot of thousands of people did show up.
00:24:56.500A lot of them were in support of the fact that we still have some mandate and some measure in place, especially with RFKAN and other measure that is put in place by federal and provincial government.
00:25:13.320So, we know that the election is coming up on the 3rd of October.
00:25:17.080It would be the final date for going to vote.
00:25:21.620But we know that probably La CAC, Mr. Legault, will probably be re-elected since all the elderly people are in his favor, since he promised a check of $2,000 to them.
00:25:38.320But a lot of people were at Parc Emily Gamelin in Montreal.
00:25:46.280It was the point of gathering for starting the march.
00:25:53.020A lot of people were wearing a CHSLD sign.
00:25:57.320So, what it is, is the elderly facility is the name of the public place for elderly people.
00:26:06.580So, as you know, in Quebec, it was one of the worst number of deaths.
00:26:13.460So, we have more than 6,000 people who died in the CHSLD.
00:26:19.680And Mr. Legault is keeping, refusing a public investigation about it, probably because he's maybe scared that they found something that was not a good decision on this.
00:26:37.060But a lot of people were there, a lot were sorry there, and they wanted to send a message to whoever is elected that people will keep to be sorry there and ask for dropping mandates and to have their life back.
00:26:52.820And especially with the inflation, a lot of Quebecers are really concerned about it.
00:26:58.980I know that in Toronto, they had like a rally as well.
00:27:02.760I think Maxine Bernier was there for doing a speech, too.
00:27:08.000So, it was looking like pretty huge as well.
00:27:11.820So, it's nice to see that people are not asleep because of the summer.
00:27:16.960So, I know that Efrain was there on the ground and Tabitha as well.
00:27:23.820And I don't know, did you know a little bit about the West Coast?
00:27:29.060Yeah, so I believe we had, well, we had Celine, one of our reporters in Calgary.
00:27:32.760Over the weekend, and that report will be coming soon, too.
00:27:35.380I'm not sure exactly who else might have been out.
00:27:37.920But I just wanted to mention, as we're talking about the protests in Quebec and Legault, I mean, it really did get bad in Quebec.
00:28:06.200Yes, and you know, in the leader debate, Mr. Legault tried to defend the curfew when we know that the public will never say that was a good idea and to implement that.
00:28:20.200So he tried to say that, yes, he limited the contact and everything, like, to go home at 8 o'clock at night.
00:28:46.120But the thing is, as you know, the population is more and more old.
00:28:54.380And so we have the part of the population is mostly now, like, 70, 60 and more.
00:29:00.700And we know that Mr. Legault is doing really great with that generation.
00:29:09.040So because they're going to their elderly facility, they promise cheque with a lot of money, try to reduce their tax income.
00:29:19.100And so, but the biggest part of the population that are in between, I would say, 25 to 40, like, the active generation are mostly for the Conservative Party of Quebec.
00:29:37.680But the fact is, we should, like, it's them.
00:29:41.900They are the ones who live in the society now because they are active.
00:29:46.860And, unfortunately, they will not have their voice heard because the biggest part of the old people will just elect Mr. Legault because what they think is good.
00:30:04.080And, of course, like, they will have more money in their pocket at the end.
00:30:08.260But it's really sad to see, like, taking money from the young to give to the old.
00:30:12.580I can understand that they sacrifice, like, they did their life and they work hard and they should have, like, you know, a part coming back to them.
00:30:22.160But also, like, we should not penalize, like, the active generation that now will probably pay for, like, all the money that they give to the old people.
00:30:34.300Because that will have an impact on every sphere of life, economy, probably inflation too.
00:30:41.800Like, of course, like, more you give money, more at one point the money will come from somewhere.
00:31:06.500And as you see, like, we didn't have any opposition for the last past three years to try to challenge the decision that it has been made so far.
00:31:16.020So, I just hope, like, we'll have, like, a really strong opposition.
00:31:20.060So, for all the bill or decision that it will take, at least they will have, like, a nice and good challenge, a democratic challenge in the National Assembly.
00:31:50.480And I think, you know, to what you're speaking about in Quebec, well, it's certainly across the country.
00:31:55.440People have been, I guess you could say, feeling down, feeling mistrusting of government, feeling like they were let down over the last two years.
00:32:02.920And what do our politicians and our mainstream media outlets do?
00:32:07.620While they put up headlines like this and the byline, what is it?
00:32:11.380The grievances of conspiracy theorists and, quote, freedom and, quote, supporters have cast a long shadow across Canadian politics in 2022, one that hangs over the Capitol as Parliament returns for its summer recess.
00:32:27.240So it's sad how you see a lot of this framing is negativity towards those who have literally been struggling to survive over the last two years and just basically have been asking for a break, a reprieve from these government mandates.
00:32:40.880And yet they're considered to be extremists.
00:32:42.660Much like, well, I guess when we talk about the environmentalists in this next story about the electric vehicles, it's, they take these extreme measures and then they call those who think that it's perhaps not reasonable, they call them the extremists.
00:32:56.640And I'm not sure if we have that headline here, but what is it?
00:32:59.580Heart Aerospace unveils new electric aircraft.
00:33:03.740Air Canada invests and orders 30 planes.
00:33:06.320And I know Ezra mentioned on this a little bit, but what are your thoughts, Alexa?
00:33:11.840Well, first of all, I will not take that plane.
00:33:23.880Especially what Ezra was saying just before we jumped on the live stream.
00:33:27.540What if, like, you know, with the aircraft, sometimes, like, the plane needs to stay, like, a little bit, like, up in the air because, like, something is not working.
00:33:37.600Or sometimes, yeah, I know because it's happened to me, like, you were not capable to land because you had too much, like, plane and so you needed to wait in the air.
00:33:48.040Like, if, like, the battery is just shutting down, it's just like, what, you crash?
00:33:51.840Like, no, you would not see me on this plane at all.
00:33:58.320It's funny they're pushing for new environmental initiatives and, you know, electric vehicles is one.
00:34:03.300And I've seen a few reports of yours on hydrogen.
00:34:05.960And you'd think, you know, if they're going to make a plane that's a little more environmentally friendly, why would they pick an electric battery over at least an engine of some kind?
00:34:15.880So, now, Detroit, like, I know that, I think it was in 2021, Mr. Trudeau went to Montreal to talk with Legault about having, it was like a part of the plane was electric.
00:34:34.780And now they want to make it all electric with, like, the motor.
00:34:41.280But you need to know, like, the impact that that will have on the rest of the planet because they don't think about where it comes from, all the mineral and all the material that you need to build that.
00:34:54.540That was the one that I actually assisted and that actually blocked my microphone when I was trying to ask a question.
00:35:05.140But they were there to announce that they were spending like $693 million on investment for our aerospace industry in Quebec for electrify a piece, not the plane, just a piece of the plane.
00:35:23.820So, now I'm pretty surprised because now if it's like a full plane, if that was $693 million for just a part of the plane, how much would it cost like a full plane?
00:35:39.800And, you know, they'll advocate for this.
00:35:43.380And, you know, Trudeau, he'll say, you know, go green.
00:35:45.980He'll say you can't have a car that burns oil or gas.
00:35:49.980But then what's happening in England right now?
00:35:53.460You've got world leaders from around the world there to respect the Queen and her passing and to be there for the funeral.
00:36:01.540How many of them are using electric jets?
00:36:03.540And, you know, they do the same thing when they went to COP26.
00:36:06.300They did the same thing when they went to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos.
00:36:09.480All of these elites from around the world are telling you that you can't excrete any kind of carbon.
00:36:15.560And then they go off and they just waste gallons and gallons and gallons of fuel.
00:36:21.460So, and they say nothing about it except that you're bad for doing the same thing.
00:36:24.960Yeah, and now we see, like, the Queen Burien, you say?
00:36:33.720But, like, have you seen when Mr. Legault just sang Queen, like, playing, like, it was Gregory Charles from Quebec that was playing at the piano.
00:36:44.520But have you seen that video where, I don't know if a friend can, like, play it, but Mr. Trudeau was singing, like, Queen in honor of the Queen that I was like.
00:36:58.940It was about to pick up, like, maybe a better, like, I don't know, like, Queen, I love Queen.
00:37:04.500Like, it's actually a genus, like, it's one of my favorite bands.
00:37:08.460But seeing when Mr. Legault was singing that song is, like, a disgrace for that band first and for the Queen as well.
00:37:17.520I'm not sure what got into Trudeau's mind there.
00:37:21.240And I made the point on the pre-live stream that we have on Instagram where it's like, did he, is there some connection between the Queen and Queen the band?
00:37:43.740But I, again, we see that Mr. Trudeau's sometimes choice of decision is not, like, the best one.
00:37:52.120I don't know what, which kind of connection went to his head saying, oh, but because, like, the band is called Queen, I'm going to, like, sing, like, sing one of his songs.
00:38:06.220Like, probably, like, using, like, a proper song.
00:38:09.340Probably, like, the favorite song of maybe the Queen herself would be more, like, nice than, like, choosing the band just because the name is Queen.
00:38:20.440Like, like, you have no link in between for me.
