Hello, my friends. You know, I was thinking a little bit more about why the media party
00:00:03.760
tried to cancel and succeeded in canceling the scrum after the second debate. And I think it's
00:00:09.720
because they didn't want tough questions being put to Mark Carney. And we had some tough questions.
00:00:14.440
Today, I'll share with you the tough questions that we had written that we never got a chance
00:00:18.440
to ask because the CBC managed to convince the debate commission to cancel it. I think you'll
00:00:24.880

Tonight, what didn't the mainstream media ask Mark Carney? It's April 23rd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:02:01.880
You're fighting for freedom. Shame on you, you sensorism bug.
00:02:17.120
I'm still thinking about last week at the leaders' debates in Montreal, because it was one of the
00:02:21.500
strangest days of my life. The mainstream media are still talking about it too, especially the CBC,
00:02:26.320
especially the French CBC, for some reason. They're still writing about it. Not the debates
00:02:31.820
themselves, which are actually interesting, but our audacity as citizen journalists for wanting to
00:02:38.000
attend and ask questions in the media scrum afterwards. I know that some media people care,
00:02:42.940
and some political people care, and some critics of the media and politics care, but for normal
00:02:47.700
Canadians, for millions of ordinary people, they just don't care. I mean, that's not the news.
00:02:53.820
That was a sideshow. But why is it an obsession for the media party? Why?
00:02:59.980
I think it's because some of them have become radicalized. They're starting to believe their
00:03:04.660
own propaganda that Rebel News and Juno News and Western Standard and the others are like terrifying
00:03:11.740
January 6 rioters or truckers or whatever their worst nightmare is. I tell you, the emotional
00:03:18.100
outbursts by several of the journalists felt like a mental breakdown, not a thoughtfully
00:03:22.460
articulated criticism of us. I mean, here's one guy from the Hill Times.
00:03:26.660
Yeah, after you guys threatened to sue, so that you, that's why they got the four questions,
00:03:32.480
because the commission, when did the CDC get four questions? Yesterday. Yes, after they
00:03:40.140
had already told it to you, because you threatened to sue. I'm not. Don't you have a third party
00:03:49.500
advertising truck that you don't take care of? How much have you spent on your party advertising
00:03:55.920
this election? Between Rebel News and For Canada, companies you own both of, how much money
00:04:02.660
have you spent to influence this election, I'm assuming in favor of conservatives, how much
00:04:08.360
have you spent? You're a journalist, you must be honest. Rebel News Limited, you set up and
00:04:17.500
registered on Elections Canada. Everyone else, you can go to Elections Canada right now, every
00:04:24.000
third party is registered, search Rebel News for Canada, and you will see clear as day as
00:04:30.780
the owner of both of those companies. He has a third party advertising truck driving around
00:04:38.080
this venue right now. It's owned by Rebel, it's owned by you, oh, sorry, sorry, the truck is
00:04:47.420
for Canada, which is owned by you, which is separate from Rebel News, which is also owned by you.
00:04:53.920
You want me to pull up, I think we're one by one. Control your emotions. You're out of control.
00:05:00.920
Speaking quietly doesn't make your things any less important. You're completely out of control emotions.
00:05:06.920
And your facts are completely wrong. You're embarrassing. What's your name? What's your name?
00:05:13.920
What's your name? You're suddenly shy. No, I'm Googling. You're Googling your name?
00:05:20.920
Tell us who you are, tough guy. Stuart Benson Hilltimes. Well, you're a disgrace to the Hilltimes. And your facts are wrong.
00:05:28.920
You're a disgrace to the Hilltimes. And your facts are wrong. You're a disgrace to journalism, buddy.
00:05:33.920
I can do the thing. I can do the job, one of me can do the same job. You literally need five reporters to do.
00:05:41.920
So am I the disgrace to all of the people you needed to do the job I do by myself?
00:05:46.920
Yeah, that guy was cuckoo. And there was another guy from a left-wing outlet called Ricochet who was literally shaking while shouting conspiracy theories at me. Did you see that?
00:05:59.920
Because of you, we can't ask questions what we have in the public. Because you wanted to have a media service.
00:06:04.920
Maybe your allies shouldn't be trying to get the Commission to do something unlawful.
00:06:09.920
It's embarrassing. Look at all of you. Look at all of you. What journalistic rationale is there to have this many people in the room?
00:06:17.920
What journalistic rationale is there? There's not 13 of us.
00:06:20.920
There absolutely are 13 of you. There absolutely are. I saw Kian Bexty coming over to Ezra throughout the debate.
00:06:26.920
Kian Bexty, who supposedly has a different media outlet, was taking direction from Ezra.
00:06:33.920
You're wrong. Kian Bexty doesn't work for Rebel News.
00:06:36.920
So why did he come over to you three times for direction during the debate?
00:06:40.920
He showed you his phone and he took direction from you during this debate.
00:06:45.920
So I don't think that Kian Bexty is independent of you. I don't believe that.
00:06:49.920
You think I was directing Kian because we're friends?
00:06:56.920
Which is much less than the CBC has. You've got to control your emotions. I know you don't like me or Rebel News and that's okay.
00:07:01.920
What I don't like Ezra is you preventing us from being able to ask questions on behalf of the public.
00:07:07.920
You created a circus here before this debate started. You created a security incident before this debate started.
00:07:19.920
When you got into a screaming match with people before this debate started.
00:07:22.920
And that's the justification that has been used to cancel the Q&A.
00:07:26.920
So the circus that you created before this debate.
00:07:36.920
In the front of this room right before this debate.
00:07:39.920
You caused an incident that caused the security concern that got this Q&A shut down.
00:07:46.920
So Ezra Levan, I blame you 100% for the Q&A being canceled here.
00:07:53.920
I think there was some mental health issues there.
00:07:57.920
And I don't know, it was a bit like what we saw during COVID.
00:08:00.920
You know, that phrase mass formation psychosis.
00:08:06.920
For other people though, it was frustrating that we worked harder than them.
00:08:10.920
What I mean by that is we got in the line to ask questions faster than they did.
00:08:18.920
That bothered some of them who were a little bit lazy.
00:08:21.920
For many though, it was a content-based objection.
00:08:24.920
Like I say, there were four CBC journalists that asked questions and four rebels who asked questions.
00:08:28.920
No one complained that the CBC dominated the coverage because they asked liberal friendly questions, didn't they?
00:08:34.920
They hated our questions precisely because they were alternative questions telling the other side of the story.
00:08:40.920
We were freedom oriented. We're not in the pocket of the government.
00:08:43.920
And finally, and I guess it's related, is the fact that we aren't part of the great elect Carney movement.
00:08:53.920
If Pierre Polyev wins, he says he will defund the CBC and scrap other, you know, liberal plans to colonize the media.
00:09:01.920
So everyone in that press room, not just the CBC, everyone was in there to save their jobs by saving Carney's job.
00:09:14.920
Softball questions for Carney, hardball questions for Polyev.
00:09:21.920
A few weeks ago, a mainstream media journalist asked Pierre Polyev how many sexes there are.
00:09:27.920
These days, that's a very relevant question, a legal question, too. Take a look.
00:09:31.920
First day on the job, President Trump signed an executive order.
00:09:34.920
You know, the U.S. government only recognizing two genders, male, female.
00:09:39.920
You know, if elected as prime minister, is that something that you're going to kind of walk in line with?
00:09:44.920
Or what are your feelings on that executive order?
00:09:48.920
Do you have any other genders that you'd like to name?
00:09:56.920
I'm just asking more so if you're in line with what he is saying.
00:10:01.920
Is that something that you would be lockstep with if elected as prime minister?
00:10:05.920
Well, I'm not aware of any other genders than men and women.
00:10:09.920
I mean, if you have any other that you want me to consider, you're welcome to tell me right now.
00:10:20.920
There are people there who, you know, they say they're gender neutral.
00:10:25.920
There are people out there who say they're gender neutral.
00:10:33.920
Is that something that you would recognize here?
00:10:36.920
Whereas in the States, at least with their U.S. government, the way they're seeing it, there's only two.
00:10:44.920
But, I mean, if you have, if you come up with another list, then you're welcome to do that.
00:10:51.920
And as far as I'm concerned, we should have a government that just minds its own damn business
00:10:56.920
and leaves people alone to make their own personal decisions.
00:10:59.920
That's the kind of government I'm going to run.
00:11:03.920
But when a citizen journalist asked that same question of Mark Carney, the CBC was outraged.
00:11:12.920
If you thought my friend's question was odd, you're going to love this one.
00:11:27.920
Do you believe that women, biological women, have the right to their own spaces?
00:11:48.920
We, but we work in, where we value all Canadians for who they are and we'll continue to do so.
00:12:01.920
And here's the CBC furious about that question.
00:12:05.920
But Rosie, I'm curious what stood out to you, because at one point when some of those last
00:12:11.920
Because these, the identity politics questions have not emerged much.
00:12:16.920
This happens on the same day that the United Kingdom court ruled that women and sex refer
00:12:30.920
And there have been issues in the past with who gets allowed into these scrums and who's
00:12:37.920
The commission, Debates Commission, was the one who decided that these people were allowed
00:12:46.920
In past years, the mainstream media has absolutely savaged any conservative who wasn't for fighting
00:12:51.920
global warming or carbon taxes or net zero or any of that.
00:12:55.920
It was the number one theme of any questions they would ask in debates gone by, in interviews.
00:13:02.920
Anyone, especially any conservative who said global warming wasn't important, was called
00:13:10.920
I think it was definitely the number one issue for the media party.
00:13:17.920
Until the moment Mark Carney realized it was a vote killer.
00:13:21.920
So he just canceled the carbon tax or paused it, I think is more accurate.
00:13:25.920
And the entire media party, every journalist who had just gone at it past conservative leaders
00:13:32.920
like Andrew Scheer and Aaron O'Toole, they just sort of nodded.
00:13:35.920
And they all immediately agreed to forget about the issue of climate change just altogether.
00:13:41.920
They only used it as a weapon against conservatives.
00:13:44.920
So when they said, you know, our children's future is at stake.
00:13:47.920
When they said it was the biggest issue of the age, they never meant it.
00:13:53.920
So I think that's a big reason why they raged against us being in the debate scrum.
00:13:56.920
And obviously the harsh reality that our very presence means that millions of Canadians are
00:14:02.920
not satisfied with what the mainstream media are providing them.
00:14:06.920
And we managed to compete somehow or even out compete with the mainstream media, despite
00:14:16.920
And when we were in the line, our rebel team was writing up some questions for each leader.
00:14:22.920
Now, we didn't in the end have a chance to ask questions of Mark Carney.
00:14:29.920
And it's too bad because he will never be asked the most basic questions
00:14:32.920
because he cuts off access to everyone except the reliable liberal media.
00:14:39.920
And since we'll never have the chance to ask them because he'd arrest us for getting too close to him,
00:14:44.920
I thought I'd share with you the questions that we drafted.
00:14:49.920
Too bad the regime journalists won't ever ask them.
00:14:51.920
But here are the questions that we had written to ask Mark Carney at the debate
00:14:57.920
that the CBC pressured the Debates Commission into canceling.
00:15:03.920
Your party, Mr. Carney, has been accused of anti-Semitism.
00:15:08.920
Last week, Israel's Prime Minister went so far as to issue a public rebuke.
00:15:14.920
Your candidate in Victoria, Will Graves, wrote after October 7th,
00:15:20.920
It's a terrible thing that happens, especially in conflict zones.
00:15:23.920
But they were kidnapped from Israel due to a massive failure of Israeli national security
00:15:27.920
and are being held in a territory under active invasion by Israel.
00:15:33.920
How many times can your candidate say things like this without people concluding that your party is in fact anti-Semitic?
00:15:39.920
And how many times can you excuse comments like this without people concluding you are too?
00:15:50.920
In the last few years, Canada has added two million people each year between foreign students, temporary foreign workers, refugees and regular immigrants.
00:16:01.920
You're an economist, Mr. Carney, and you understand supply and demand.
00:16:04.920
How much of our housing affordability crisis is because of mass immigration?
00:16:09.920
Or are you unwilling to criticize that sacred cow?
00:16:17.920
Here's a question that we would have put to him about trans, although someone else beat us to it.
00:16:22.920
Today, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled unanimously that trans women are not legally women.
00:16:27.920
This could stop biological men from entering women's places like women's bathrooms, women's sports teams and women's prisons.
00:16:34.920
The United States has brought in similar policies through executive orders.
00:16:40.920
Should trans women legally be the same as women?
00:16:50.920
Mr. Carney, you told us you're boycotting U.S. alcohol because of tariffs.
00:16:55.920
China has put 100% tariffs on canola, which could cost Canadian farmers, primarily in Saskatchewan, billions.
00:17:03.920
But they're Western farmers from provinces that don't vote liberal.
00:17:06.920
Have you boycotted anything Chinese because of that?
00:17:09.920
I asked because you haven't put retaliatory tariffs on China either.
00:17:13.920
In fact, I checked and you haven't even tweeted about it.
00:17:18.920
I think, frankly, all the other leaders should have been asked the same question.
00:17:23.920
I don't know if you saw that in the debates, but they were all asked what American stuff they would boycott.
00:17:28.920
But, yeah, none of them said they boycotted China.
00:17:37.920
We had questions for other leaders, too, but Carney's the one who looks like he may be reelected.
00:17:41.920
I said, you said you agree with Greta Thunberg.
00:17:49.920
You support C69, Trudeau's restrictions on oil projects and pipelines.
00:17:56.920
But tonight you said you're for more oil production and pipelines.
00:18:00.920
Can you answer specifically which pipelines do you support?
00:18:04.920
Would you support Energy East or Northern Gateway or Keystone Excel?
00:18:15.920
And had I had a chance, I think this would be the one I would have picked out of all of these.
00:18:26.920
Your campaign has been rocked by scandal after scandal involving candidates
00:18:30.920
who expressed their loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party
00:18:33.920
and who have participated in Chinese government activities, even while here in Canada.
00:18:40.920
When you were with Brookfield, you had very close relations with the Chinese Communist Party,
00:18:46.920
When was the last time you spoke with Xi Jinping
00:18:49.920
or any member of the Chinese government or a Chinese diplomat?
00:18:57.920
Last month you said we all agree with Hamas, but your staff said you simply misspoke in French.
00:19:04.920
Then a heckler called Gaza a genocide and you agreed,
00:19:08.920
but your staff said you didn't really hear correctly.
00:19:11.920
Then you stood next to an MP who demonized Israel as the aggressor.
00:19:17.920
Do you support or oppose the weekly anti-Semitic hate marches in Canadian streets?
00:19:28.920
I said, when your candidate Paul Chang encouraged people to kidnap his opponent
00:19:32.920
and hand him over to China, you refused to fire him and just waited a week until he resigned.
00:19:37.920
And when your campaign staff handed out fake conservative buttons in a dirty tricks campaign,
00:19:46.920
Both of these actions are unethical and possibly even illegal,
00:19:49.920
but you refused to denounce or disavow either of them.
00:19:52.920
What message do you think you're sending about accountability and ethics?
00:19:58.920
Here's one that I think should have been asked by other media like months ago.
00:20:02.920
I said, I wrote, I didn't say this, didn't get the chance.
00:20:06.920
I wrote, there are a lot of basic biographical questions that you just haven't answered
00:20:11.920
and that establishment journalists haven't asked you.
00:20:16.920
Last year, when you were interrogated by US congressional staff,
00:20:19.920
you told them that you lived in the United Kingdom.
00:20:21.920
In your last tax return, what country did you say was your residence?
00:20:26.920
Where have you been paying your personal taxes?
00:20:31.920
And has your wife returned to or she's still abroad?
00:20:36.920
Why are you being so evasive about these things?
00:20:40.920
Those may sound prickly impersonal, but I think they're basic questions.
00:20:47.920
For years, you campaigned on reducing carbon emissions to net zero.
00:20:51.920
And even when you suspended the carbon tax, you did not say it was wrong, merely that it was unpopular.
00:20:57.920
And you didn't repeal the tax, you just temporarily set it at zero percent.
00:21:01.920
You said you support Greta Thunberg and that oil and gas jobs should be transitioned.
00:21:06.920
My question, do you support or oppose Alberta Premier Daniel Smith's plan to increase the productions of the oil sands?
00:21:14.920
I would like to have heard the answer to that. I don't know if we ever will.
00:21:19.920
Here's one I wrote about the independent press.
00:21:21.920
For years, our reporters have bumped into you at the World Economic Forum in Davos and you would answer all of our questions.
00:21:27.920
We thank you for that. And you said it was your duty to answer tough questions.
00:21:31.920
But ever since you became liberal leader, you banned us and other independent journalists from your press conferences
00:21:37.920
and threatened to arrest any of us who try to ask you questions. What changed?
00:21:42.920
Why are you so afraid to answer questions? And is this a sign of how you'll run the country, shunning out any voices of dissent?
00:21:51.920
I had some Epstein questions, too. I don't know if I would have gotten around to these.
00:21:56.920
I don't know if they're that important, but here's what I wrote.
00:21:58.920
I said, there are a number of conspiracy theories regarding you and Jeffrey Epstein, and I don't want to indulge those.
00:22:03.920
But I do want to ask you about three incontrovertible facts widely reported in the British press that I hope you can explain.
00:22:10.920
You were photographed socializing with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's sex trafficker.
00:22:15.920
Epstein's client, Prince Andrew, threw a lavish party for you at Buckingham Palace.
00:22:21.920
And your wife's family is listed in Epstein's notorious black book.
00:22:26.920
I'm sure there's an innocuous explanation for all of this, but you haven't given it yet.
00:22:36.920
I mean, you can like them or hate them, but don't you think they're fair and factual and interesting?
00:22:42.920
And so don't you see why the media party worked so hard to get the second scrum canceled last week?
00:22:52.920
Well, it's less than a week to go in the election, and it is tightening up.
00:23:09.920
Some polls said more than a 10-point lead, but now it's neck and neck.
00:23:13.920
According to all the polls I've seen as late as today, the Liberals do have a lead, but it's within the margin of error.
00:23:23.920
Are people starting to think about other issues besides Trump?
00:23:26.920
Joining us on how to talk about this is my old friend and former president of the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:23:31.920
His name is Stephen LeDrew, and he's a journalist in his own right.
00:23:41.920
You were part of the Liberal Party corporate structure.
00:23:46.920
You were the president of them a generation ago.
00:23:57.920
Before we get into how the campaign's going, who are the party bosses running things?
00:24:11.920
Let me just go back and provide some background to it.
00:24:14.920
I was president, the longest-serving president.
00:24:16.920
I put in literally tens of thousands of hours of volunteer time to the Liberal Party.
00:24:23.920
It stood for fiscal responsibility and social progressiveness.
00:24:28.920
And the party has really been dismantled over the last 12 or 13 years by Justin Trudeau,
00:24:37.920
or actually more specifically, not Justin, but by Mr. Butts, who you mentioned, and Katie Telford.
00:24:50.920
The Liberal Party was an institution, as you well know, the most successful political party in the world.
00:25:03.920
You had to, you know, really, it worked at making itself a social political party.
00:25:14.920
It is the Justin party, notwithstanding that there's a new leader.
00:25:21.920
He ran Mr. Trudeau for the last 10 years as Prime Minister.
00:25:30.920
And he has reduced the party, Ezra, to a show of just two or three people.
00:25:39.920
And that was evident when people saw Carney being sworn in as Prime Minister, Ezra.
00:25:45.920
And there was Mr. Butts near the front row, right behind the cabinet ministers,
00:25:51.920
at that swearing in at the Governor General's house, Rideau Hall.
00:25:55.920
He is still calling the shots and causing things to move in his direction.
00:26:02.920
He hired the Prime Minister's wife for a company called Eurasia out of New York.
00:26:08.920
Eurasia consults with other countries around the world, other companies around the world.
00:26:13.920
It has made millions of dollars from contracts with the Canadian government,
00:26:17.920
when, in fact, Butts' best friend, Justin, was the Prime Minister.
00:26:24.920
It used to be that the insiders numbered hundreds, senators, MPs, volunteers like myself.
00:26:31.920
Now the only people that really count are just a few people who are running the show.
00:26:35.920
And they, I'm told as recently as yesterday, are quite convinced that they are going to have a majority government after Monday night.
00:26:45.920
As you pointed out, Ezra, the polls are tightening.
00:26:48.920
I voted in a rural community in the advanced poll, and as you and your listeners and viewers know now,
00:27:02.920
Usually, and you and I have been around politics for a few years,
00:27:06.920
but usually that, to my mind, is let's kick the bums out.
00:27:16.920
It's been a very unique campaign, as you have and your reporters have catalogued since the start.
00:27:29.920
I think that for Canadians to be worried that Trump is going to turn us into a 51st state is insane.
00:27:42.920
I mean, this is just Canadians, some Canadians, as a result of the media, mainstream media, have the wrong ideas, the wrong concerns.
00:27:51.920
I think that Canada should be concerned about its disintegrating economy, about its disintegrating society.
00:27:58.920
And look at Carney, who, as you say, has not been in Canada for years and years, has never been elected.
00:28:04.920
There's an article in the Toronto Sun today that I penned saying that we need a parliamentarian.
00:28:10.920
We aren't electing a president, you know, one person in charge.
00:28:13.920
I mean, Canadians think that from the American media, mainstream media.
00:28:20.920
As you well know, Ezra, you're well-versed in this.
00:28:28.920
The MPs, the most MPs in one party, have their leader, who becomes prime minister.
00:28:33.920
And become prime minister, as you well know as well, is not an easy job.
00:28:40.920
You have to know how to work out policy with your own party members in opposition.
00:28:48.920
I mean, we are, we are electing, or seemingly, if the polls are accurate, and liberal incisors
00:28:55.920
are accurate, Ezra, we are putting somebody in that job who has never been elected dog catcher.
00:29:07.920
A year ago, I saw a poll out of the United Kingdom that young people, 18 to 24, it's
00:29:16.920
a YouGov poll, only 1% of young people plan to vote for the Conservative Party in the UK.
00:29:26.920
And I remember 10 years ago, Justin Trudeau really had a youth-oriented campaign, in part
00:29:36.920
He was hip and cool, or at least by Ottawa standards, he was.
00:29:39.920
Now, the most astonishing thing to me about the polls is how overwhelmingly young people,
00:29:45.920
for whatever reason, and I think I know the reason, support Pierre Polyev.
00:29:48.920
I think it's the affordability of homes and economic, and can I start a family?
00:29:56.920
Why are boomers and seniors so attracted to Mark Carney?
00:30:02.920
I think I know the answer, but I'd like to hear it from you.
00:30:06.920
When I grew up, it was always young people were progressive, old people were conservative.
00:30:11.920
Well, I think that the old people are still conservative, but the new conservative is this,
00:30:20.920
I had that conversation with somebody who lives, again, in a rural community, and they
00:30:25.920
were surprised at the number of Liberal signs up.
00:30:30.920
And most of the people with Liberal signs were over 55.
00:30:34.920
Some were retired with healthy gold pensions from government.
00:30:42.920
People who are 55 and over are in pretty good shape, thank you very much.
00:30:56.920
Young people see, they read, they know that our GDP is going down the toilet.
00:31:02.920
As I quoted today, Canada's GDP is less than that of the state of Alabama.
00:31:14.920
And young people know that when they say, well, we can't even rent a house, much less
00:31:23.920
They know that the Trudeau government has thwarted the economic progress of Canada.
00:31:30.920
They know that the world would love to buy our clean, burning natural energy.
00:31:36.920
And these governments, and Carney himself, Net Zero Carney, read his book, and, you know,
00:31:46.920
He says, as you were there for the debate, as Blanchard pointed out, well, you say in
00:31:51.920
England, in English, Canada, that you're having pipelines.
00:31:54.920
You say in French, you're not having pipelines.
00:31:56.920
I mean, Carney is a, I think he's a bit of a con job.
00:32:01.920
And I think young people, young people know that, Ezra.
00:32:07.920
Well, Stephen, it's great to catch up with you.
00:32:09.920
And you are a symbol of what the Liberal Party once was, when it was sort of the great party
00:32:14.920
of the center, the party that absorbed good ideas where they came from.
00:32:20.920
And it's astonishing that it really has been colonized by Gerald Butts and that Eurasia
00:32:27.920
We got to run, but I hope we can keep in touch, maybe even on election night.
00:32:42.920
Stephen LeDrew, journalist and former president of the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:33:00.920
John P says about Pierre Polyev, quote, he should focus more on immigration.
00:33:10.920
I suppose it's because any conservative is worried about being called racist, but I think
00:33:14.920
immigration is such an acute issue in this country.
00:33:20.920
Nalen says, this is the biggest and most important election in Canadian history.
00:33:28.920
I really think, I don't know if we can come back from another Liberal win.
00:33:34.920
Toggle says, even if the Conservatives pull off a win and let's say the Liberals were pretty
00:33:39.920
close, it still should be very concerning that there are a lot of people in Canada willing
00:33:51.920
And I hate to say it, but I think Trump scaring the heck out of sensitive Canadians is probably
00:33:58.920
what added 10 points to the Liberals and took 10 points away from Pierre Polyev.
00:34:05.920
As Polyev says, you know, it would give Trump a weaker negotiating opponent, wouldn't it?
00:34:14.920
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters to you at home,
