Transcript

00:00:00.000 Tonight, a new poll shows that Canadians overwhelmingly oppose schools keeping children's transgender
00:00:20.800 experiments hidden from parents.
00:00:23.340 It's August 31st, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:26.160 The pendulum swings, but it sometimes swings back.
00:00:44.580 I'm talking about transgender extremism, but it applies to a lot of things, too.
00:00:48.480 I mean, for example, there's only a single premier in Canada of a province.
00:00:53.060 There's only one province in Canada whose premier is still liberal, and that's Newfoundland
00:00:56.580 and Labrador.
00:00:57.320 His name is Andrew Fury.
00:00:59.760 And the latest opinion poll, by the way, shows that he's in a statistical dead heat with the
00:01:04.220 Conservative Party.
00:01:05.940 Trudeau used to be a rising tide that lifted all ships.
00:01:09.360 Now he's the anchor dragging them down.
00:01:12.720 Hey, how do you think this tone-deaf comment is going to play in Newfoundland?
00:01:16.240 It's like the liberals want Premier Fury to lose.
00:01:20.020 Like you said, Premier Andrew Fury has written a letter again to the Prime Minister asking
00:01:23.760 for a pause on clean fuel regulations.
00:01:26.260 In your opinion, is there a chance that that pause could happen?
00:01:31.420 Look, I take the concerns of the premier, of Ken's constituents, because Ken talked to
00:01:41.440 me about them.
00:01:41.980 I take those concerns very seriously.
00:01:45.320 The cost of living is a real challenge here in Newfoundland and Labrador.
00:01:52.000 And, you know, gas is a part of that.
00:01:55.760 Heating oil is a part of that.
00:01:57.500 I think it's important to recognize that the Climate Action Incentive Payments, they're
00:02:04.860 going to make a difference.
00:02:06.260 That's $1,300 for a family of four.
00:02:10.000 I don't want to overstate it.
00:02:12.360 It won't solve everything, but it will make a real difference.
00:02:16.720 And I do also think we all need to recognize, and look, people here recognize it maybe more
00:02:27.220 than pretty much anybody else in the country, that the climate transition is an opportunity
00:02:34.420 for our country.
00:02:35.740 That it is something that if we embrace, and we are, that is a tremendous source of jobs
00:02:46.200 and growth for today and for the future.
00:02:49.140 Sorry for playing so much video from such an irritating, shallow cabinet minister.
00:02:55.500 Let me change your palette with another irritating, shallow cabinet minister.
00:02:59.620 Here's Seamus O'Regan.
00:03:01.680 Um, um, I love being in Argentsia.
00:03:08.140 Um, we have been talking for so long about an energy transition, and it's going to happen,
00:03:14.600 and what does it mean?
00:03:15.600 And, you know, it's particularly stressful when you talk about this sort of stuff and
00:03:19.600 change and everything, when, you know, you live and you represent an energy, an oil-producing
00:03:25.740 province, right?
00:03:26.700 Because what is that change going to mean?
00:03:28.220 Again, this is where the action is, right here.
00:03:32.560 This is what it means.
00:03:34.120 Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, on the ground.
00:03:38.080 Stuff that we are now seeing being built.
00:03:40.900 Yeah, I don't really think people believe you when you say there will be jobs, jobs, jobs,
00:03:45.220 by transitioning away from the real job they have towards an imaginary job you can't even
00:03:50.900 explain after eight years in power.
00:03:52.740 But seriously, does anyone in the world believe that a higher carbon tax is going to make life
00:03:57.400 easier for them?
00:03:58.620 An opportunity for our country, that artificially forcing the shutting down of a real industry
00:04:04.580 like oil and gas will make way for jobs, jobs, jobs.
00:04:08.500 So yeah, the pendulum.
00:04:09.800 If I were a Liberal MP from anywhere outside Montreal or downtown Toronto, I'd be getting nervous
00:04:15.720 right now.
00:04:16.260 I mean, look at this.
00:04:17.360 I really haven't seen it like this before, not since the 1980s when Brian Mulroney swept
00:04:23.460 out the tired Liberals after 16 years of Pierre Trudeau.
00:04:26.660 Expect to see some cabinet ministers jumping ship over the next few months to corporate
00:04:32.200 boards or other patronage gigs now, rather than losing the next election.
00:04:37.360 So we'll wait to see how that goes.
00:04:39.000 But look at what's happening at the provincial level.
00:04:41.160 First of all, it was Blaine Higgs, the new Brunswick Premier.
00:04:43.960 Do you remember what he did earlier this summer?
00:04:45.480 Here's how the CBC put it, the growing controversy in the new Brunswick legislature has stemmed
00:04:50.660 from the government's review of and changes to Policy 713, which established minimum standards
00:04:56.820 for schools to ensure a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for LGBTQ students.
00:05:03.120 Do you think that's really what Premier Blaine Higgs is against?
00:05:07.820 Do you think that's actual journalism there?
00:05:09.940 Do you think any political leader in Canada is against a safe, welcoming place for students
00:05:14.040 or any background? That's not even pretending to report the news, is it?
00:05:18.760 You have to read a little further to see what he was really proposing.
00:05:22.220 Among the changes sparking debate is that students under 16 now need to get their parents' permission
00:05:27.080 to have teachers and staff use their chosen names and pronouns.
00:05:31.300 Higgs defended the change, saying information about a child should not be hidden from their parents.
00:05:36.100 Got it.
00:05:36.420 So teachers and young students can't keep sexual things a secret from parents.
00:05:42.540 All right.
00:05:43.120 I mean, how creepy is it that they can keep those secrets like that right now?
00:05:48.920 That's super creepy.
00:05:50.160 Blaine Higgs showed a rare backbone and didn't cave in despite a failed mutiny from some of his own MLAs.
00:05:55.720 They probably got an earful from their constituents and knew that if they forced an election on the matter,
00:06:01.540 which they could have done, that Higgs would have probably swept every seat in the province.
00:06:07.020 Rosemary Barton of the CBC was furious with them,
00:06:09.740 but I don't think Rosemary Barton is going to win a lot of votes in New Brunswick.
00:06:14.140 Here, take a look at this.
00:06:15.640 You used some language yesterday in the legislature that, frankly,
00:06:19.380 I'm not sure Premier actually helped the conversation.
00:06:21.460 You talked about gender dysphoria becoming, quote, popular and trendy.
00:06:25.340 You said, we have a situation that's growing because there's acceptance that this is fine.
00:06:30.060 Do you think that those are appropriate comments?
00:06:31.940 Do you have a problem with the idea of gender dysphoria?
00:06:36.080 Well, my position, Rosemary, is not the issue in that sense.
00:06:41.880 My position as a grandfather and as a father is that I think that kids,
00:06:46.760 especially in these vulnerable years in elementary school years,
00:06:50.760 you know, are, let's say, you know, toddlers being exposed to,
00:06:55.940 well, I may not be a boy or girl.
00:06:58.420 That is the role that parents need to play a role.
00:07:00.820 Those are very formative years.
00:07:02.780 And so how do we ensure that everyone understands what is being presented,
00:07:07.260 what's in the school system, and then we work through it?
00:07:10.360 Sure, sure, but I guess I'm wondering, Premier, if your personal views
00:07:14.340 are influencing your policy decisions, because it sounds like they are.
00:07:19.540 No, Rosemary, it's not about my personal views at all.
00:07:22.800 It's about a role as a parent and a grandparent
00:07:25.500 and thinking about my grandchildren now that would be attending school
00:07:31.040 and the fact that her parents would not know what she was being taught
00:07:38.100 or what information was being supplied.
00:07:40.420 Because I think most parents, you know, take for granted that the school system
00:07:43.520 is doing everything that they would approve of.
00:07:46.980 But there's so many things that parents are asked to have their consent on,
00:07:51.100 so many things, and yet gender identity is not one of them.
00:07:55.320 Now, of course, being trans is trendy.
00:07:57.960 That's just a fact.
00:07:59.360 It's a mind virus, as Elon Musk would say.
00:08:02.060 It's being force-fed into children at school.
00:08:04.300 That's why the schools want to keep it secret and keep parents out of it.
00:08:08.820 And by the way, of course, Blaine Higgs is bringing in his personal experience to bear.
00:08:14.060 What a weird question is if Trudeau and Barton don't rely on their own opinions
00:08:18.540 and consciences to form their own political views.
00:08:20.760 It's just weird.
00:08:21.940 How can a human not rely on their own views?
00:08:24.080 But Blaine Higgs won that battle.
00:08:26.440 A year ago, in the polls, Higgs was behind by as much as 18%.
00:08:31.420 Now he's tied for first place.
00:08:34.080 I give some credit to this issue, don't you?
00:08:37.400 Boy, the CBC is mad about this because Trudeau is mad about this because,
00:08:41.680 like my comments yesterday about fighting U.S. Republicans,
00:08:45.060 the liberals would much rather have culture wars about transgenderism than talk about inflation
00:08:49.220 or housing costs or crime or pretty much anything else, except that this is something
00:08:53.400 that actually really scares parents because it wasn't too long ago that a grown man who said to
00:08:58.200 a young child, hey, let's talk about sex, but keep our conversation secret from your parents.
00:09:03.700 That's a stranger danger moment.
00:09:06.040 That's a call the police moment.
00:09:07.540 Now the stranger danger is coming from inside the schools.
00:09:12.380 I don't know if you saw this.
00:09:13.920 This is some audio recording from a recent school meeting.
00:09:18.000 One Saskatchewan school in a small town has 32% of children identifying as gay or trans.
00:09:26.140 Sorry, that's not real.
00:09:27.420 That's not biological.
00:09:28.980 That's not statistical.
00:09:29.940 That is a mind virus.
00:09:31.780 That's a fad.
00:09:32.480 That's a fashion.
00:09:33.140 That's an extremely active and aggressive teacher somewhere acting in secret.
00:09:37.660 Here, just listen to a minute of this.
00:09:39.020 Our grade 7 to 12 population, 32% of our students identified with that within the LVTQ community.
00:09:51.620 So if I can create an environment by doing something like that to make them feel safe, I'm going to do it.
00:09:56.760 Are they identifying to that because it's taught in the school?
00:09:59.780 No, they're aware of what everything entails and they're identifying in a survey or to their counselor that they're...
00:10:09.460 So a survey.
00:10:11.540 That survey is...
00:10:13.780 Who gives them the survey?
00:10:15.060 So the school division would give the survey.
00:10:17.620 It's mandated by the government of Saskatchewan.
00:10:20.060 So it's given from grades 4 to 12.
00:10:23.980 Yeah.
00:10:24.740 What exactly is being done in secret at that school?
00:10:28.360 Well, we're maybe going to find out.
00:10:30.060 Anyways, here's how the CBC framed this one in Saskatchewan.
00:10:34.980 Saskatchewan opposition says pronoun and naming policy motivated by politics, transphobia.
00:10:40.220 But of course, that's Trudeau's line too.
00:10:44.100 Saskatchewan's opposition leader says a new policy on naming and gender pronoun use in schools is motivated by politics and transphobia.
00:10:50.840 NDP leader Carla Beck called the policy announced by Education Minister Dustin Duncan reckless, cynical, and divisive politics.
00:10:59.640 What we saw from this government was calculated policy to solve their own political problems and a policy that we fear will put already vulnerable kids at greater risk, Beck said.
00:11:07.560 We don't support outing kids.
00:11:10.280 So that's the news, according to the CBC.
00:11:12.360 You have to dig further to find out what exactly the government proposed as opposed to how the opposition and the CBC framed it.
00:11:19.720 Here, I'll read.
00:11:21.640 On Tuesday, Duncan announced that schools in the province must seek the permission of parents or guardians before allowing students under the age of 16 to change what the province refers to as preferred name and pronouns.
00:11:33.280 You know, Blaine Higgs mentioned it, you need parents' permission for everything, for a field trip, for lunches with peanuts in them, for anything in school.
00:11:43.300 But changing your sexuality and having the school participate in it in secret, that's got to remain a secret even for children of tender years?
00:11:53.400 32%.
00:11:53.960 Yes, Rosemary, it is trendy, isn't it?
00:11:57.320 I wonder where that comes from.
00:11:59.960 I wonder where this trend comes from.
00:12:01.420 This is a page from Trudeau's new innovation at the CBC.
00:12:05.500 He's had it going for a few years.
00:12:06.720 It's called CBC Kids News.
00:12:09.920 They basically rewrite hard left-wing woke news articles for young kids, and then they have child actors read the news.
00:12:17.960 Endless propaganda about kids and transgenderism.
00:12:21.220 This is for minor children.
00:12:23.320 But the thing about the political media industrial complex is that it is a real echo chamber.
00:12:27.940 If you're on Twitter, if you're in the provincial legislature building, if you're in the CBC newsroom, everyone you know is using their preferred pronouns.
00:12:35.520 You've got a few they, thems that everyone's scared to offend, and everyone is harmonizing towards this new insanity.
00:12:41.780 But you step outside of that and into the real world, which politicians actually have to do, because if they don't, they'll lose an election, unlike teachers and CBC journalists who never have to worry about that.
00:12:53.060 In the real world, going door to door, knocking on doors, this is all craziness.
00:12:57.780 This is madness in the abstract, and parents are terrified of their own children in particular.
00:13:05.340 Because it's not just being a tomboy now.
00:13:08.320 Girl's a tomboy.
00:13:10.060 It's not just pink hair or some other temporary face.
00:13:13.360 They're talking about puberty blockers, hormones, even radical surgery.
00:13:18.380 That's what's real today.
00:13:19.640 That scares parents, scares me.
00:13:22.280 Parents hate this.
00:13:23.380 The CBC's obsessed with them.
00:13:25.800 And you can see what they sound like when they mutually reinforce each other.
00:13:29.480 Here's the NDP's leader in Saskatchewan.
00:13:32.860 I'll never support outing vulnerable kids.
00:13:35.820 Scott Moe, his minister, and the media will be hearing from me later this day.
00:13:40.400 That's what they call letting parents know what their kids are doing in secret with sex ed teachers.
00:13:45.620 They call that outing them.
00:13:47.500 And the NDP's critic on the file chimed in, and I'm going to swear here because I'm just quoting,
00:13:51.820 Scott Moe and Dustin Duncan are fucking cowards.
00:13:56.640 Got it.
00:13:57.220 I'm guessing she'd have similar words for parents who were concerned about their kids and wanted to know about their kids.
00:14:03.660 Hey, can I show you a story from Saskatchewan from a town called Lumsden?
00:14:08.200 Just 1,800 people, and it's a suburb of Virginia, really.
00:14:11.400 I can't imagine a more conservative place, so to speak.
00:14:14.020 But look at this story from a few months ago.
00:14:17.100 Duncan suspends Planned Parenthood from presenting in schools.
00:14:20.400 Planned Parenthood is suspended by Saskatchewan government from school presentations after A to Z cards describing graphic sex were found in Lumsden.
00:14:31.400 I love that word, found.
00:14:32.980 So that's what they're doing in secret.
00:14:35.360 Here, let me read a little bit.
00:14:36.300 Education Minister Dustin Duncan has announced Planned Parenthood is suspended from all presentations in Saskatchewan schools related to health and wellness courses.
00:14:46.180 The issue had to do with the material that Planned Parenthood had left in the classroom for students to take if they wanted to.
00:14:53.720 Duncan confirmed that the material consisted of a deck of cards that ran from A to Z, with every letter relating to a word relating to sex.
00:15:02.360 The words were then defined in graphic detail on the cards, which included explicit references to sexual and other acts.
00:15:09.960 Duncan was visibly uncomfortable as he described examples of what was on the cards to the media, which included graphic descriptions of oral sex.
00:15:17.880 I think it gives you a sense that if I feel uncomfortable saying that to the media, and it's likely that some of that won't be broadcast because of the nature of it, is an indication that it doesn't need to be in the classroom if those phrases won't likely be broadcast tonight on the six o'clock news.
00:15:33.200 So, yeah, imagine being so outraged that parents get to see what's going on in schools.
00:15:40.380 So Saskatchewan joins New Brunswick in putting parents ahead of the CBC and the sex maniacs.
00:15:45.260 Here's Scott Moe, the Saskatchewan premier.
00:15:48.240 Parents must be included in all important decisions involving their children.
00:15:51.840 Education Minister Dustin Duncan today announced that all Saskatchewan schools will have a consistent policy on parental inclusion and consent.
00:15:58.340 Moe mentioned name changes, gender changes, and any other outside groups like that sex cards group.
00:16:06.880 Pretty modest reforms, really, but boy, did the CBC NDP freak out.
00:16:11.960 But following Moe's tweets in recent days is encouraging.
00:16:14.760 I believe this one.
00:16:16.360 Do you?
00:16:16.760 Here, take a look at this.
00:16:18.560 Every stop these last few days, we have heard positive responses about the new education policy on parental inclusion and consent.
00:16:26.760 Seriously, what parent would say, no, I don't want the right to know what my kids are being taught in sex.
00:16:32.820 I don't want any role in that.
00:16:34.960 I'd rather leave parenting of my child up to a 20-something woke activist teacher who keeps secrets from me.
00:16:43.320 Here's another tweet from Scott Moe.
00:16:45.320 The NDP thinks the government's role is to stand up to parents.
00:16:49.400 The Saskatchewan party believes the government's role is to stand up for parents.
00:16:53.180 Of course, he's right, and I think I just saw an election campaign ballot question there, didn't you?
00:16:59.380 And then this on Monday from Scott Moe.
00:17:01.880 A new poll from Angus Reid Institute shows strong support in Saskatchewan and across Canada for parental inclusion and consent in education,
00:17:09.600 with 86% in Saskatchewan supporting some level of notification for parents when children want to change their gender identity in school.
00:17:17.060 Just 10% agree with the NDP position that parents should not be informed.
00:17:21.260 Seriously, these numbers are so lopsided, I can't honestly think of another public policy question where the elites are so offside with the people.
00:17:29.740 Not since Trudeau paid $10.5 million and apologized to Omar Cotter.
00:17:36.100 Saskatchewan is the strongest support in the country, but the numbers are huge everywhere else, too.
00:17:40.560 The pendulum is swinging back.
00:17:42.920 Oh, sure, the media party will lie.
00:17:44.960 I mean, look at this headline in Global News.
00:17:46.700 I just read the poll to you.
00:17:49.680 Canadians divided on parental consent on pronoun changes.
00:17:53.760 Divided?
00:17:54.920 Divided?
00:17:55.900 I mean, I guess they're divided on every single question.
00:17:59.600 There's no total unanimity on anything, technically speaking.
00:18:03.680 Here's how the actual pollster put it.
00:18:06.060 This is from the Angus Reid polling website.
00:18:08.640 Vast majority say schools should inform parents if children wish to change their pronouns are split over issue of parental consent.
00:18:17.660 The lowest support for informing parents is in the Atlantic, where it's a mere 67%.
00:18:22.780 Like I say, it's 86% in Saskatchewan.
00:18:25.240 But Global says parents are split.
00:18:27.420 What a pack of liars.
00:18:28.660 Look, it's so lopsided that Canada's worst conservative government, Doug Ford, in Ontario, even he can read the polls.
00:18:35.800 Here's their hapless education minister.
00:18:37.960 He saw that Blaine Higgs and Scott Moe survived the CBC's outrage just fine.
00:18:42.920 So here he dips his toe into the water a little bit.
00:18:45.460 Here's part of his announcement the other day.
00:18:47.400 Will Ontario bring in policies like we've seen in New Brunswick and now Saskatchewan to require that parents be informed if their children change gender identity at school?
00:18:57.840 And I would love to hear from Patricia about this as well.
00:19:01.080 Look, I think it's important to note that every school must be safe for every child.
00:19:06.200 I think we understand, though, that parents must be fully involved and fully aware of what's happening in the life of their children.
00:19:12.640 I mean, often there are health implications, and I think we have to respect the rights of parents, recognizing that these can be life-changing decisions.
00:19:22.020 And I think parents want to be involved so that they can support their kids.
00:19:26.280 And I think that's a really important principle that we must uphold.
00:19:29.240 Is that you are going to require it then, like with legislation?
00:19:33.280 We're simply making clear as a province that we believe parents should be fully involved, fully aware of what's happening to their children.
00:19:42.280 And these are significant changes, and they have a right to know.
00:19:45.640 And so we would expect school boards to be transparent with parents, as we always have.
00:19:50.780 How do you respond to the criticism we've heard from, you know, that it puts some LGBTQ kids at risk,
00:19:55.480 where maybe they're not, you know, their home environment's not a safe place for them to be out or to have a different gender identity?
00:20:01.100 No, for sure.
00:20:01.740 I mean, this is why I led with the recognition that safety must prevail, the safety of the child, both at home and school.
00:20:07.560 For there are exceptional circumstances where there can be situations of potential harm to a child.
00:20:14.040 Educators are well-versed on exactly what to do and who to turn to if they believe that child may be harmed for whatever reason or whatever circumstance.
00:20:24.180 We will always safeguard the right of children to be safe.
00:20:27.540 We'll always ensure that that is the case.
00:20:30.180 Educators do amazing work to recognize the signs and the changes in behavior and energy and attitude.
00:20:35.640 They really do wear many hats, and we're grateful for what they do.
00:20:40.440 But there's a well-established protocol to ensure the safety of children.
00:20:44.060 And I have every confidence that what has been the case for many years will continue to be that they can leverage that protocol
00:20:52.040 if they believe something potentially could put the child at risk.
00:20:54.960 But as I say, as an overarching value system, I really do believe that parents need to be fully aware, fully engaged,
00:21:03.320 and school boards need to be transparent with parents.
00:21:06.200 I mean, they are the legal guardians.
00:21:07.520 They love their kids.
00:21:08.240 They want to be aware of what's happening in the life of their children in their schools.
00:21:12.580 And I think that that is really important that they know.
00:21:14.860 So your position is that they should, but there's not a requirement to report or anything like that,
00:21:20.060 any directive like that from the Ministry of Education?
00:21:21.900 School boards will have policies.
00:21:23.980 I'm just affirming to you the province's position on the matter quite clearly,
00:21:27.040 which is parents have a right to know, and we will respect parental rights.
00:21:30.140 We think boards must do the same.
00:21:32.340 Slowly but surely, parents are waking up and taking back schools from the crazies.
00:21:36.520 It can be powerful.
00:21:38.160 During the lockdowns, when many kids did school from home via Zoom,
00:21:43.300 a lot of parents saw for the first time the sort of craziness going on in the class.
00:21:47.120 That's why the state of Virginia had a surprise upset electing a Republican governor
00:21:52.140 for the first time in a dozen years, swinging the state 11% towards Republicans.
00:21:57.860 Almost all of that apparent uprising against school wokeness.
00:22:02.360 Here's Texas governor with another piece of the puzzle just the other day.
00:22:05.880 I was proud to sign the Save Women's Sports Act this year.
00:22:11.540 Biological men will not be allowed to compete against women in college athletics in Texas.
00:22:16.100 Texas will safeguard the legacy and integrity of women's collegiate sports for generations to come.
00:22:20.660 Pierre Polyev, who's quite cautious, can see the writing on the wall too.
00:22:25.080 Here's a story in the Toronto Star.
00:22:27.540 Headline, gender identity pronouns in schools.
00:22:31.300 Polyev and others say leave it to parents.
00:22:33.340 Parents say they want to know.
00:22:35.620 Here's what experts say.
00:22:37.600 Yeah, you know, I'm not really interested in what experts say about parenting my kids or you.
00:22:43.840 And what is an expert in parenting other than a parent?
00:22:47.760 Anyone who says, no, no, no, I'm an expert in parenting.
00:22:51.560 You're just an amateur at parenting your child.
00:22:53.780 Well, right there, that's pretty much all you need to know about them.
00:22:57.480 You know, conservatives are often told by the smart people, by the experts,
00:23:00.760 that conservatives can only win if they shut up about cultural matters, the culture wars,
00:23:06.200 shut up about wokeness in schools, just accept what Justin Trudeau says about social issues,
00:23:11.260 or else Rosemary Barton and the CBC will be really mean to you, to her 20,000 viewers on CBC.
00:23:17.780 Yeah, no, if I could wave a magic wand, every single election in Canada this year would be about transgenderism,
00:23:25.400 in sex ed classes, in sports, in girls' teams, in prisons, in bathrooms, every single election.
00:23:33.100 Let's test the CBC liberal NDP groupthink against what the people have to say.
00:23:40.120 Stay with us for more.
00:23:41.120 I remember when Justin Trudeau announced to the world that he and his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, were separating.
00:24:00.180 And the first round of commentary by all the media party pundits was,
00:24:06.780 hey, everybody, it would be extremely crass to talk about this.
00:24:12.380 This is something we must not do journalism about, and that's that.
00:24:17.420 And I have to tell you, in some ways I found that persuasive,
00:24:20.920 in that Sophie Trudeau wasn't a particularly public person.
00:24:25.140 She hadn't been in quite a while, and it was really no secret that her and Justin Trudeau were estranged.
00:24:31.980 You could simply see whether or not she was wearing her wedding ring at any given moment.
00:24:36.760 From time to time, she came out to do some perfunctory, wifely things on the arm of her husband.
00:24:44.040 But there were some shocking moments.
00:24:46.200 Like, I think this was when they went to get a jab or something,
00:24:49.660 and he tried to hold her hand, and she pulled hers away quickly.
00:24:53.440 I can't remember exactly. Here's the video clip of that.
00:25:12.420 I actually felt bad for Justin Trudeau for a second when I saw that.
00:25:20.780 Yes, I was capable of that emotion, but it is true.
00:25:24.920 After her disastrous Martin Luther King Day song-singing performance,
00:25:30.240 she really didn't have any more public roles, and I just have to share with you a moment of that.
00:25:36.860 Here's Sophie Grégoire Trudeau singing her homemade song at a Martin Luther King Day event in Ottawa.
00:25:43.020 I should tell you, if you don't know, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau is not black.
00:25:48.680 And I'll just add in for extra effect the duet provided by our alumnus, Gavin McInnes.
00:25:55.500 Here, take a look at that.
00:25:56.540 Some people die.
00:25:57.940 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:26:00.720 Angels can fly.
00:26:03.080 Yeah, yeah.
00:26:04.820 And some people fight.
00:26:07.060 Look how white that audience is.
00:26:08.840 Without knowing why.
00:26:12.460 Oh, sing it, sister.
00:26:13.820 Preach it.
00:26:16.760 Without seeing the light.
00:26:18.900 Oh, my God.
00:26:20.080 Look at them.
00:26:21.300 What do you think, brothers and sisters?
00:26:22.620 There's some African back there.
00:26:24.020 He's never even heard of Martin Luther King.
00:26:25.940 Look at the picture behind her.
00:26:27.780 And I know that good will prevail.
00:26:30.520 Who's this lady?
00:26:31.180 And I could call with the world.
00:26:33.180 The love that I feel
00:26:36.560 When you smile back at me
00:26:40.040 When you smile back at me
00:26:44.760 What is she, Eartha Kitt?
00:26:46.180 In the cone of your eye
00:26:47.840 Oh, it's a new song now.
00:26:48.960 The day that we will say goodbye
00:26:50.800 But nothing will take away what's between you and me
00:26:56.060 Oh, my God.
00:26:57.440 Is that guy asleep or blind?
00:26:58.480 When you smile back at me
00:26:59.760 When you smile back at me
00:27:02.980 When you smile
00:27:04.160 When you smile
00:27:05.720 When you smile
00:27:07.660 Beautiful
00:27:09.660 I love you, my child
00:27:13.080 I love you, my child
00:27:15.920 Ooh
00:27:16.500 Check this out
00:27:18.240 Is she Eva Peron?
00:27:20.760 Is this Evita?
00:27:21.840 Don't cry for me, Argentina
00:27:25.080 All right, I'm having fun
00:27:28.340 But my point is
00:27:29.020 I think Sophie Gregoire Trudeau
00:27:30.720 Actually is sort of a private person
00:27:33.560 She's not out on the hustings
00:27:35.120 With her husband
00:27:36.100 Unlike, say, Oneida Polyev
00:27:39.460 Pierre Polyev's wife
00:27:40.920 Who is quite often campaigning with him
00:27:43.120 I should point out
00:27:44.780 That Sophie Trudeau
00:27:46.060 Has set up a media relations
00:27:48.780 And advisory company
00:27:50.360 And the fact that she's officially
00:27:52.280 Separated from her husband
00:27:53.800 Perhaps allows her to do business
00:27:55.980 Without disclosing it
00:27:57.200 To the government
00:27:58.260 And let's be honest
00:27:59.480 No one would hire
00:28:00.920 Sophie Trudeau
00:28:02.320 For media advice
00:28:03.260 Any more than anyone
00:28:04.660 Would buy
00:28:05.520 A painting from Hunter Biden
00:28:07.460 Because it's beautiful art
00:28:08.680 You're doing it
00:28:10.040 To show your friendship
00:28:11.240 With the regime
00:28:12.060 And laundering money
00:28:13.100 I think that's
00:28:14.020 Behind the timing
00:28:15.260 Of the separation
00:28:16.120 But back to my point
00:28:17.480 We were told immediately
00:28:19.120 That we cannot talk
00:28:21.120 About this
00:28:22.040 Do not turn this
00:28:24.480 Into public fodder
00:28:25.640 We were told
00:28:26.420 But then it got a bit weird
00:28:28.660 It was as if
00:28:29.260 Justin Trudeau
00:28:30.200 Doubled the amount
00:28:32.200 Of commentary
00:28:33.000 And photographs
00:28:34.440 He published
00:28:35.120 Of his own kids
00:28:36.120 Showing himself
00:28:37.700 Going to movies
00:28:38.480 With them
00:28:39.260 Showing them on video
00:28:40.900 And here's news
00:28:42.840 From Alberta
00:28:43.660 Justin Trudeau
00:28:44.640 Brought his daughter
00:28:45.820 To a public event
00:28:48.000 And our friend
00:28:49.220 Arthur Green
00:28:50.060 From Western Standard
00:28:51.720 Was there
00:28:52.380 Joining us now
00:28:53.100 Via Skype
00:28:53.700 To talk about
00:28:54.800 This bizarre occasion
00:28:56.280 Is Arthur Green
00:28:58.600 Arthur great to see you again
00:28:59.940 Thanks for joining us
00:29:00.860 You're the legislature
00:29:01.680 Reporter
00:29:02.260 For Western Standard
00:29:03.840 Tell us
00:29:04.900 What the event was
00:29:06.300 And then we'll throw
00:29:07.020 To a video clip
00:29:08.020 Of it
00:29:08.380 Yeah so
00:29:09.780 Last Saturday
00:29:10.500 Prime Minister
00:29:11.220 Justin Trudeau
00:29:12.160 Held a thousand dollar
00:29:13.420 Ahead fundraiser
00:29:14.540 Here in Edmonton
00:29:16.680 At the convention center
00:29:17.820 Which was
00:29:18.380 Which was quite odd
00:29:19.860 Because we all know
00:29:20.880 That the Liberal Party
00:29:21.980 Doesn't really have
00:29:23.140 A presence
00:29:23.820 Here in Edmonton
00:29:26.140 So in the room
00:29:27.240 I counted roughly
00:29:28.260 A hundred people
00:29:29.480 Inside of the convention center
00:29:31.420 To hear Trudeau speak
00:29:33.520 Again half of them
00:29:35.500 May or may have not
00:29:36.700 Been staffers of his
00:29:38.160 But I was quite astonished
00:29:40.660 When the Prime Minister
00:29:41.940 Took the stage
00:29:42.760 He actually brought
00:29:44.680 His daughter Ella
00:29:45.700 On stage
00:29:46.440 To show her
00:29:47.820 A room full of people
00:29:49.060 That didn't hate her dad
00:29:50.700 So basically
00:29:51.740 He brought
00:29:52.480 He brought Ella
00:29:53.540 On stage
00:29:54.380 Just to show her
00:29:55.940 Hey there's people
00:29:56.940 That actually do
00:29:58.400 Like your dad
00:29:59.080 In politics
00:29:59.960 In Canada
00:30:01.400 Let's take a look
00:30:02.540 At that now
00:30:03.100 We've got a
00:30:04.020 One minute excerpt
00:30:04.940 Of your video
00:30:05.440 Let's watch
00:30:06.020 Justin Trudeau
00:30:07.440 And thank you
00:30:14.720 And Ella
00:30:16.420 And she said
00:30:16.940 I'm here with my daughter
00:30:17.760 And I'm here to see
00:30:19.760 Just how amazing
00:30:21.020 Liberals are
00:30:21.560 Right across the country
00:30:22.520 From coast to coast to coast
00:30:23.360 Thank you for being here
00:30:24.240 Ella
00:30:24.460 There you go
00:30:24.920 But it is important
00:30:27.500 To be able
00:30:29.000 To ground myself
00:30:29.920 And my kids
00:30:30.540 And it reminds me
00:30:32.760 Why
00:30:33.400 It's so important
00:30:35.140 That we continue
00:30:35.720 To build a positive
00:30:36.580 Vision for this country
00:30:37.920 And that we tackle
00:30:39.400 The big challenges
00:30:40.620 We're facing
00:30:41.280 With the goal
00:30:41.840 Of solving them
00:30:42.780 There's far too many
00:30:44.500 People out there
00:30:45.760 In politics
00:30:46.360 Who focus on
00:30:47.880 Politics
00:30:48.520 As a way
00:30:49.760 Where the goal
00:30:50.620 Is just to get elected
00:30:52.640 And when all you want
00:30:54.940 To do is get elected
00:30:55.760 It may seem like
00:30:57.320 A really appropriate
00:30:58.880 And responsible strategy
00:31:00.200 To cleverly divide people
00:31:02.460 To weaponize intolerance
00:31:04.780 To amplify fear
00:31:06.940 And anxiety
00:31:07.900 To exploit people's divisions
00:31:10.900 And concerns
00:31:11.940 About the realities
00:31:12.860 That we're facing
00:31:13.920 In a very complicated world
00:31:15.500 Not so much
00:31:17.500 Offer solutions
00:31:18.480 But offer
00:31:20.360 That echoing back
00:31:23.260 That amplification
00:31:24.240 Of things that people
00:31:25.060 Have feared
00:31:25.500 And you can mobilize that
00:31:27.920 To get elected
00:31:28.660 But if
00:31:29.920 You really want
00:31:31.340 And you're really committed
00:31:33.580 To finding solutions
00:31:35.740 For the great challenges
00:31:37.020 That we're facing
00:31:37.660 If you want to try
00:31:39.860 And bring people together
00:31:41.000 To build that better future
00:31:43.360 For our kids
00:31:44.660 For our grandkids
00:31:45.640 Then that's hard work
00:31:49.080 It's hard work
00:31:51.280 Particularly for liberals
00:31:52.880 Where we stand ourselves
00:31:54.900 In the middle of the spectrum
00:31:56.520 And yes
00:31:58.400 Times are tough right now
00:32:01.020 Times are tough
00:32:02.760 Everywhere around the world
00:32:04.440 And knowing that we have
00:32:05.900 The best debt to GDP ratio
00:32:08.280 And the lowest deficit
00:32:09.160 In the G7
00:32:10.100 Doesn't reassure someone
00:32:12.700 When they're having trouble
00:32:13.820 Paying for the groceries
00:32:14.860 People are struggling
00:32:17.400 But ask yourselves
00:32:20.040 What problem was ever solved
00:32:23.680 By making people
00:32:25.080 More fearful
00:32:25.760 What problem
00:32:27.860 Was ever solved
00:32:29.200 By focusing people
00:32:30.880 On laying blame
00:32:32.500 Against a federal government
00:32:34.240 Against a certain group
00:32:35.500 Of people
00:32:35.940 Against a minority
00:32:36.980 What problem
00:32:38.520 Was ever solved
00:32:39.460 By dividing people
00:32:41.080 Rather than bringing them together
00:32:42.820 I just can't help
00:32:49.180 But chuckle Arthur
00:32:49.900 This is the guy
00:32:50.860 Who during the pandemic
00:32:52.480 Said
00:32:53.340 Should we even
00:32:54.620 Should we even
00:32:56.740 Grant civil liberties
00:32:57.980 To the unvaccinated
00:32:59.080 How dare you
00:32:59.920 Unvaccinated
00:33:00.740 Expect to sit next to us
00:33:02.600 The clean people
00:33:03.500 This is the person
00:33:04.500 Who ran an entire
00:33:05.420 Political campaign
00:33:06.460 Demonizing
00:33:07.360 The other
00:33:08.340 A minority
00:33:09.200 To be sure
00:33:09.860 And now he's
00:33:11.000 Against demonization
00:33:12.320 Classic Trudeau
00:33:13.380 Putting aside that
00:33:15.040 What do you make
00:33:16.420 Of him trotting out
00:33:17.300 His daughter
00:33:17.640 She's a minor
00:33:18.620 Isn't she
00:33:19.180 I don't know
00:33:19.680 I don't remember
00:33:20.240 Offhand how old she is
00:33:21.340 But she's just
00:33:22.020 A teenager I think
00:33:22.980 Do you know
00:33:24.060 How old she is
00:33:24.720 And do you know
00:33:25.080 What's your take
00:33:26.220 On that part of this
00:33:27.680 His using his daughter
00:33:28.640 As a prop
00:33:29.180 I have some thoughts
00:33:29.940 But I'd like to hear
00:33:30.800 Yours first
00:33:31.460 I don't actually
00:33:34.020 Know her exact age
00:33:36.080 Now I try to keep
00:33:37.560 My opinion out of things
00:33:38.780 To remain unbiased
00:33:40.140 But it seemed to me
00:33:41.340 As if he was
00:33:42.820 Grasping at heartstrings
00:33:44.760 You know
00:33:45.960 To try to win over
00:33:47.040 The older liberal voters
00:33:48.880 Who actually attended
00:33:50.160 This fundraiser
00:33:51.140 And I should mention
00:33:52.840 You know
00:33:53.820 Outside
00:33:54.380 There were quite
00:33:56.240 The number of people
00:33:57.420 Flying black flags
00:33:59.560 With expletives
00:34:00.320 On it
00:34:00.720 As the prime minister
00:34:03.340 Says
00:34:03.740 You know
00:34:04.740 Opposed
00:34:05.400 To him
00:34:06.340 Coming to Alberta
00:34:07.520 And during his speech
00:34:09.620 I did put up
00:34:10.680 Several videos
00:34:11.600 Apparently I was told
00:34:13.500 I was the only journalist
00:34:15.200 To actually broadcast
00:34:16.840 These videos
00:34:17.580 CBC tried to
00:34:19.100 Tried to bury them
00:34:20.540 And frame the prime minister
00:34:22.200 In the camera
00:34:23.960 A little bit closer
00:34:25.300 Than me
00:34:25.960 To show that
00:34:27.480 There was an illusion
00:34:29.080 That there was
00:34:29.680 A lot of people
00:34:30.460 In this place
00:34:31.720 So it feels to me
00:34:33.940 As if he's
00:34:34.720 On his last leg
00:34:36.120 And now he's using
00:34:37.220 The family man
00:34:39.180 Type persona
00:34:41.040 To gain votes
00:34:42.460 I didn't RSVP
00:34:44.920 For this event
00:34:46.080 So I caught the liberals
00:34:47.300 By surprise
00:34:48.880 Of course
00:34:49.500 They did let me in
00:34:50.900 I do have
00:34:51.920 A press gallery
00:34:53.400 Membership
00:34:54.120 With the Western Standard
00:34:55.400 For the Alberta legislature
00:34:56.920 So I'm an accredited journalist
00:34:59.260 They couldn't
00:34:59.800 Turn me away
00:35:00.920 Now they did search me
00:35:01.980 For explosives
00:35:02.940 This is the
00:35:05.220 This is the third time
00:35:06.620 That I've been with
00:35:07.480 The prime minister
00:35:08.240 In recent months
00:35:10.460 I've been searched
00:35:11.340 Three times
00:35:12.900 By him
00:35:13.860 For explosives
00:35:14.960 Before any of his events
00:35:16.100 But what really
00:35:17.120 Caught me off guard
00:35:18.160 As a result
00:35:18.760 Was
00:35:19.180 You know
00:35:20.040 There were other
00:35:20.820 Journalists
00:35:21.340 Mainstream journalists
00:35:22.440 Who were allowed
00:35:23.240 To move in this room
00:35:24.320 They put me
00:35:25.920 On a riser
00:35:26.840 And basically
00:35:28.220 Put a liberal staffer
00:35:29.820 Next to me
00:35:30.600 Told me
00:35:31.140 I was not allowed
00:35:32.100 To ask questions
00:35:32.920 Even if I shouted
00:35:34.620 Them out
00:35:35.140 Because I did shout
00:35:36.240 At the prime minister
00:35:37.140 At the evacuation centre
00:35:39.720 When he visited
00:35:41.360 During the Alberta wildfires
00:35:43.180 So yeah
00:35:43.880 I was taking a little
00:35:45.360 Alberta
00:35:45.840 Just treatment
00:35:46.780 Again
00:35:47.460 I remain
00:35:48.660 You know
00:35:48.880 It just
00:35:49.180 It just
00:35:49.800 It kind of
00:35:51.000 Peeved me off
00:35:52.740 A little bit
00:35:53.140 You know
00:35:53.640 I wanted to get closer
00:35:54.720 To be able to take
00:35:55.900 Some nice pictures
00:35:56.780 And they were like
00:35:59.180 No
00:35:59.480 You're not allowed
00:36:00.300 To move
00:36:00.920 At walls
00:36:02.040 CBC journalists
00:36:03.220 And you know
00:36:04.000 They roamed the room
00:36:05.400 And I just thought
00:36:06.800 That that was a bit odd
00:36:07.660 Now I did have
00:36:08.160 A red t-shirt on
00:36:09.120 Because the western
00:36:10.300 Standard colours
00:36:10.900 Are red and white
00:36:11.740 So I'm not sure
00:36:12.400 If they mistaken me
00:36:13.280 For a liberal
00:36:13.960 When I first went in there
00:36:15.140 But it was just
00:36:16.520 Quite odd to me
00:36:17.320 As or how I was guarded
00:36:18.800 Well you know
00:36:20.060 We just finished
00:36:21.100 Watching Trudeau
00:36:21.880 Talk about
00:36:22.360 Don't separate
00:36:23.080 Don't be angry
00:36:24.100 But of course
00:36:25.020 The way they treated you
00:36:26.200 Was exactly
00:36:27.640 What he just
00:36:28.400 Warned against doing
00:36:29.300 And the fact
00:36:30.120 That the CBC
00:36:30.740 And others
00:36:31.180 Were fine
00:36:31.880 With you being
00:36:32.500 Corralled that way
00:36:33.400 Shows they truly
00:36:34.440 Are part of the regime
00:36:35.860 But
00:36:36.620 You know
00:36:38.640 I think
00:36:39.360 By the way
00:36:39.720 I just checked
00:36:40.780 And Ella
00:36:41.420 Is 14
00:36:42.320 Which is a pretty
00:36:43.600 Young age
00:36:44.760 And I think
00:36:45.740 There's two reasons
00:36:46.920 Why he brought her
00:36:47.660 This is my theory
00:36:48.440 Number one
00:36:49.020 People do hate Trudeau
00:36:52.920 Obviously not people
00:36:53.940 Paying a thousand dollars
00:36:54.980 A pop
00:36:55.440 To meet him
00:36:56.580 Those would probably
00:36:57.340 Be lawyers
00:36:58.080 Trying to get
00:36:58.800 A judge ship
00:36:59.940 We just saw the story
00:37:01.020 In the National Post
00:37:02.260 Of basically
00:37:02.960 Lawyers throwing cash
00:37:04.500 At the liberals
00:37:05.000 To get judges seats
00:37:06.000 So I think
00:37:06.620 There were some
00:37:06.980 Would-be judges
00:37:07.680 In the room
00:37:08.100 So they weren't
00:37:08.800 Going to boo him there
00:37:09.960 I think that
00:37:11.720 Still
00:37:12.560 Having a wife
00:37:14.740 In a family
00:37:15.400 Humanizes
00:37:16.180 Normalizes
00:37:16.960 Makes
00:37:17.400 An unpopular man
00:37:19.820 Less unpopular
00:37:21.260 So since he doesn't
00:37:22.220 Have a wife
00:37:22.800 To introduce
00:37:23.520 I think
00:37:24.400 Ella
00:37:24.740 His 14 year old
00:37:26.080 Daughter
00:37:26.400 Is sort of
00:37:26.860 Filling that role
00:37:28.260 Now I don't believe
00:37:29.340 That he says
00:37:31.240 See I'm showing you
00:37:32.460 People still like
00:37:34.000 Your dad
00:37:34.360 That doesn't
00:37:34.900 Make any sense
00:37:35.740 I think that she
00:37:37.180 First of all
00:37:38.420 I'm not sure
00:37:38.880 How much she would
00:37:39.440 Follow politics
00:37:40.180 But that I think
00:37:41.440 Is a line
00:37:42.340 Not designed
00:37:43.000 For his daughter
00:37:43.720 But a line
00:37:44.300 Designed for the
00:37:45.200 Crowd
00:37:45.680 To beg sympathy
00:37:47.260 Oh Trudeau
00:37:48.420 He suffers so
00:37:49.540 Greatly
00:37:50.380 Our Trudeau
00:37:51.260 He's dealt
00:37:51.680 With so unfairly
00:37:52.720 And don't you know
00:37:53.740 When you criticize
00:37:54.640 Justin Trudeau
00:37:55.420 You're really
00:37:55.980 Criticizing his daughter
00:37:57.160 So stop being
00:37:58.560 Mean to Trudeau
00:37:59.500 Because you're
00:37:59.940 Actually being mean
00:38:00.980 To his 14 year old
00:38:02.080 Daughter
00:38:02.400 Hey let's trot her
00:38:03.800 Out for the cameras
00:38:04.800 But hey
00:38:05.620 Only if you're
00:38:06.720 Nice to her
00:38:07.320 No criticism
00:38:08.120 It's just so
00:38:09.760 Manipulative
00:38:10.660 But that's true
00:38:11.380 Of course he uses
00:38:12.180 His family
00:38:12.800 For pawns
00:38:14.220 And for props
00:38:15.060 Let me ask you
00:38:17.400 Did he stick
00:38:18.540 Around Edmonton
00:38:19.500 At all
00:38:20.000 I mean he hit
00:38:20.740 That fundraiser
00:38:21.680 So he's using
00:38:22.380 The private jet
00:38:23.240 To come to Edmonton
00:38:24.420 To scoop up
00:38:25.060 Some party cash
00:38:26.660 Did he do any
00:38:28.440 Events
00:38:29.000 In Edmonton
00:38:30.180 Or did he
00:38:30.600 Get out of that
00:38:31.520 Province
00:38:32.040 As fast as he
00:38:33.240 Possibly could
00:38:34.180 Now he did
00:38:36.080 Take in the
00:38:36.740 Pride events
00:38:37.380 Earlier in the day
00:38:38.600 Got it
00:38:39.040 Very very important
00:38:39.940 Part of the
00:38:40.540 Alberta economy
00:38:41.820 Sorry I didn't
00:38:44.600 Mean to
00:38:44.840 Of course he
00:38:45.360 Took in the
00:38:45.700 Pride events
00:38:46.040 Did he do
00:38:46.620 Anything else
00:38:47.280 Other than the
00:38:47.820 Pride event
00:38:48.300 And the
00:38:48.620 Liberal fundraiser
00:38:49.480 Which are
00:38:49.820 Actually cut
00:38:50.700 From the same
00:38:51.120 Cloth
00:38:51.760 No he didn't
00:38:53.180 And I actually
00:38:53.880 Track his
00:38:54.520 Plane
00:38:54.960 And my followers
00:38:56.400 Track his
00:38:56.960 Plane on
00:38:57.420 Twitter
00:38:57.660 He quickly
00:38:58.860 Left
00:38:59.280 After
00:39:00.160 After the
00:39:01.000 Fundraiser
00:39:01.460 What did
00:39:02.400 Surprise me
00:39:03.120 Is outside
00:39:04.240 Of the
00:39:04.900 Fundraiser
00:39:05.920 The Edmonton
00:39:06.600 Police Service
00:39:07.320 Had about 20
00:39:08.320 Officers on
00:39:09.200 Pedal bikes
00:39:09.820 And they
00:39:10.880 Blocked the
00:39:11.460 Entrance
00:39:11.960 Basically to
00:39:13.160 Provide safety
00:39:14.300 To liberal
00:39:15.720 Attendees as
00:39:16.740 They exited
00:39:17.400 Now I did
00:39:18.680 Speak up
00:39:19.320 I'm not one
00:39:20.620 To stay silent
00:39:21.460 And I basically
00:39:22.280 Asked the cops
00:39:22.980 You know
00:39:23.280 What are you
00:39:23.740 Guys doing
00:39:24.280 And they
00:39:25.180 Said you know
00:39:26.000 We're following
00:39:26.740 Orders
00:39:27.500 And then I
00:39:28.520 Quickly reminded
00:39:29.520 Them you know
00:39:30.240 Two streets
00:39:30.900 Over
00:39:31.400 Social disorder
00:39:33.100 Has encompassed
00:39:34.280 Edmonton's
00:39:34.780 Downtown
00:39:35.100 And there's
00:39:36.180 People doing
00:39:36.740 Drugs and
00:39:37.460 Killing each
00:39:37.940 Other two
00:39:38.360 Streets over
00:39:39.100 So I was
00:39:39.780 Like maybe
00:39:40.180 You guys
00:39:40.540 Should take
00:39:40.940 A ride
00:39:41.460 Past
00:39:41.880 Roger's
00:39:43.000 Place
00:39:43.280 When you're
00:39:44.100 Done here
00:39:44.620 So like I
00:39:45.400 Just wonder
00:39:46.020 How much
00:39:46.960 Money has
00:39:47.960 Been spent
00:39:48.600 On Prime
00:39:49.700 Minister
00:39:50.020 Justin Trudeau's
00:39:51.340 Security here
00:39:52.140 In Edmonton
00:39:52.700 And again
00:39:54.020 I've been
00:39:54.620 With him
00:39:55.260 Three times
00:39:56.200 In the last
00:39:56.960 Month
00:39:57.360 And every
00:39:58.640 Time
00:39:59.000 It's the
00:39:59.880 Same thing
00:40:00.440 You know
00:40:00.800 It's a
00:40:01.280 It's a
00:40:01.620 Berate of
00:40:02.380 Big gasoline
00:40:04.020 Pickups
00:40:04.700 And SUVs
00:40:06.420 And security
00:40:07.340 And RCMP
00:40:09.420 Dogs
00:40:09.980 And you name
00:40:11.060 It
00:40:11.260 And it just
00:40:12.660 Goes to show
00:40:13.560 Like you know
00:40:14.780 He's been all
00:40:15.460 Over Canada
00:40:16.140 Last week
00:40:17.540 You know
00:40:17.940 First he went
00:40:19.380 On vacation
00:40:19.940 Then he went
00:40:20.500 To PEI
00:40:21.220 Then he went
00:40:21.720 To Ottawa
00:40:22.200 Then he was
00:40:22.740 In Edmonton
00:40:23.320 The Friday
00:40:24.500 Before that
