00:00:00.000
Hello, my friends. Today we're talking with our good friend Manny Montenegrino about a number of
00:00:04.380
things, including Justin Trudeau's separation from his dear wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau.
00:00:09.840
Is that off-base and off-bounds to talk about? Or for a guy who hoists himself so high as a
00:00:16.880
role model and pushes you down so low, he's the feminist, you're the misogynist. Is the way he
00:00:23.080
treats women and his failures and successes, is that public game? I don't know. Manny and I'll
00:00:28.540
talk about it. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's
00:00:32.700

00:00:39.160
here's today's show. Tonight, we catch up with our favorite guy, Manny Montenegrino.
00:00:58.540
and talk about Justin Trudeau's separation. It's August 16th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:11.080
Who do you talk to if you love talking about politics? All right, who would you talk with
00:01:25.120
about journalism? Okay, here's a smaller set. Who would be an expert in the legal basis of it all?
00:01:33.240
Well, what happened if you found a triple threat? Someone who is an expert in all three,
00:01:40.100
and he's been an observer at the seat of power for decades. You know who I'm talking about,
00:01:45.620
my favorite pundit. We love to have him on once a month to catch up. I'm talking about
00:01:50.560
Manny Montenegrino, the CEO of Think Sharp, based in Ottawa, who joins us now by Skype.
00:01:56.120
Manny, it's always a pleasure. You're always a fan favorite. We get so many emails when you're on
00:02:00.760
the show, and it's a good time for me to listen more than I talk, because I talk too much in
00:02:06.340
interviews, but I love to hang on your every word. I'm not exaggerating, because you bring
00:02:11.120
insights that I often have never heard before. Well, thank you, Ezra. Thank you for that
00:02:16.780
introduction. I'm always willing to provide my analysis on issues that relate to the law and
00:02:23.940
politics. Well, you're a figure in some ways of the establishment. You were with a major national
00:02:29.660
law firm. You were the lawyer to prime ministers, but you're also a bit of a rebel. Hey, Manny,
00:02:35.560
what do you think is a hot issue of the last month? Let me throw one out there,
00:02:41.660
and it's a little bit sensitive, but I know you're a sensitive man. What about Justin Trudeau
00:02:46.600
announcing on Instagram that he and his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau were separating? What do you make
00:02:55.580
of that news and how he announced it and what he's sort of done in social media since?
00:03:02.880
Well, that's a good question, and of course, the media wants nobody to talk about it, but
00:03:08.780
Trudeau himself has made this an issue and continues to make it an issue, so I think it's fair to talk
00:03:14.220
about it. When I practiced law and I was a managing partner of the auto office of a very big law firm,
00:03:21.900
I had a team of lawyers that provided service to the matrimonial law, divorce lawyers, and there was
00:03:31.540
a good 10 of them in my office, and there are two reasons why people get divorced fundamentally.
00:03:37.720
One is financial, and that's a big reason, and second of all, one of the spouses, particularly the
00:03:44.100
husband doesn't connect with the wife, and that's a second reason, and there is a loss there. Well,
00:03:51.540
when you take those reasons in the history that I've had in practicing matrimonial law,
00:03:57.340
our office has, is, well, clearly it's not the first. The Trudeaus are very well. Daddy left the
00:04:05.120
millions, and I think he's found a way to make more millions. So it's not a financial issue. So it has
00:04:10.920
to be with the parties not connecting. And I find that I don't understand how that could be, because
00:04:19.380
one friend told me that these are the two smartest, happiest, in love people that they know, and of
00:04:28.020
course, they're separating. So how does that make sense? You know, it just seems that, I mean, Trudeau
00:04:35.500
himself goes out of his way to declare that he's a feminist. And from what I understand, when a man
00:04:44.120
says that, and he basically said it publicly, he said it at a conference, when a man says that,
00:04:53.080
it means that he truly understands how a woman feels, acts, and conducts herself. So it's more alarming
00:05:00.840
is he a feminist finding himself separated. Here's a speech that Trudeau recently gave,
00:05:09.020
actually a little while back, where he talked about how feminist he was. Here, take a look.
00:05:13.700
Well, first of all, I'm going to keep saying loud and clearly that I am a feminist until...
00:05:24.520
Until it is met with a shrug. Why does every time I say I'm a feminist, you know, the Twitterverse
00:05:32.820
explodes and news medias pick it up, it shouldn't be something that creates a reaction. It simply is
00:05:41.320
saying, I believe in the equality of men and women, and I believe that we still have an awful lot of work
00:05:46.260
to do to get there. That's like saying the sky is blue and the grass is green. So the fact that it
00:05:53.420
still garners a response, a positive response, means that we're still going to have to be using
00:06:01.560
that word. And if I can encourage people to use that word more and more often, to say that they're
00:06:07.740
feminists, to say they're raising their children, their daughters, obviously, to be feminists,
00:06:12.460
but also their sons to be feminists, which is something my extraordinary wife Sophie has drilled
00:06:18.980
into me, that it's not just about empowering my daughter, it's about making sure my sons work as
00:06:25.240
well to empower, you know, their sister, however annoying they are, to each other as kids.
00:06:32.320
But that mindset of how we shift perceptions and engagement is something that, yes, we do still
00:06:40.400
have to keep working on, and I'm proud to be able to keep pushing that.
00:06:44.100
Well, I have a slightly different take on it. I mean, he's trying to say, oh, I'm a feminist,
00:06:47.940
it should be normal. But actually, I think that, like saying, Manny, I'm really smart, or I have
00:06:55.340
good fashion, or whatever. Like, if you're praising yourself or trying to give yourself a positive
00:07:00.260
appellation in some way, if you have to say it, it's probably not true. Like, if you went around
00:07:06.320
saying, hey, guys, you know, I'm really smart. No, no, no, no, seriously, I'm really smart. People
00:07:09.820
would know if you're smart. If you treat women right, it's sort of evident, I think. There's a
00:07:16.860
phrase from Hamlet, my lady doth protest too much. If you're saying it too much, maybe it's because
00:07:24.800
it's not true. I think that Justin Trudeau is a fake feminist. He's a male feminist in the meaning
00:07:30.660
that he's not a feminist at all, except for as a trick. It's like Jehan Gomeshi, if you recall,
00:07:35.820
that CBC star who got a degree in women's studies. And it was later found out he was a serial abuser,
00:07:44.740
including physical abuse of women. And he said, no, no, no, no. I'm a women's studies major. I'm a
00:07:50.740
major feminist. It was what Professor Gad Saad called being a sneaky effort. But he would sort of
00:07:57.420
sneak under women's radar because he said all the right things. Here's Gad Saad explaining the
00:08:02.800
sneaky effort idea. Take a look. I talked about male social justice warriors as sneaky fuckers.
00:08:10.440
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's an actual term, right? Yeah, yeah. Well, sneaky fuckers is actually not a term
00:08:15.600
that I came up with to be profane. It's actually a zoological term that captures in nature the idea
00:08:23.340
of kleptogamy, where you're trying to steal mating opportunities. So for example, let's say you have
00:08:28.600
a type of fish where there are two phenotypes of a male, you know, of a male. There's the dominant
00:08:34.660
physically imposing male. And then there's a whole bunch of other males that actually pretend to be
00:08:41.180
females so that they can sneak by the dominant males and then have a surreptitious coupling
00:08:47.920
opportunity with the females. And that became known as the sneaky fucker mating strategy. And so
00:08:54.060
in the parasitic mind, I argue that male social justice warriors are instantiating a form of
00:09:03.220
sneaky fucker strategy, right? Look, look, I'm, you know, I'm very sensitive. I hug trees. I cry when
00:09:09.760
I watch Bridget Jones' diary. See, I'm not, you don't have anything to be afraid of. And then hopefully
00:09:15.420
that can allow me to have access to some willing and available female.
00:09:19.960
I think anyone who goes around talking about how feminist he is, is preemptively trying to cover
00:09:25.060
up the fact that he is absolutely not a feminist in atrocious ways.
00:09:30.180
Well, that's why I put, I connected it. Trudeau, as a feminist, sexually assaulted a reporter.
00:09:42.360
Right. And that's a fact. And why I say it's a fact is that she published it. And if it was not
00:09:48.860
true, she would be sued. The magazine would be sued. And there was no lawsuits and no denials and no
00:09:55.500
retractions. So I have to conclude that he did sexually assault a reporter. He also, you might
00:10:01.340
recall, in the House of Commons, storming across the aisle and elbowing an NDP female minister
00:10:10.800
in her breast to get her out of the way. Men don't treat women like that when they want to get
00:10:16.840
something done. They don't manhandle a woman. And also, you know, how he's treated the very strong
00:10:24.480
female ministers. The attorney general doing an absolute great job, Jody Wilson-Raybould.
00:10:31.200
And so now I add this fourth dimension to prove what you say is true, that he is a fake feminist.
00:10:40.880
And that is, I can't for the life of me see how a feminist who does connect and understand a woman,
00:10:50.140
particularly the wife, particularly the mother of his three children, has it fail. Feminists don't fail
00:10:57.940
in understanding women. So that's, so put it all together. I think you're right, Ezra. I think
00:11:03.720
he is a fake feminist, but we know that. And there's a lot of fake, a lot of things that Trudeau
00:11:10.260
claims to be, like, you know, sitting there talking about racism when he's the only person I know in
00:11:17.080
Canada who's worn blackface more times than he can count. So I think his claim of feminism
00:11:24.260
and the separation, that's just another fact that adds to their conclusion.
00:11:29.920
Yeah. You know, whenever he's tested on his feminism, it doesn't work out well. I mean,
00:11:34.900
you mentioned his sexual assault of Rose Knight. Well, he was asked about it. He did not deny it.
00:11:40.540
He engaged in some sort of gaslighting, say, well, that's not how a bitch said she liked it. Like,
00:11:46.260
he basically was turning on her and accusing her of lying. Here, remember what he said when he said she,
00:11:52.320
quote, experienced it differently? That's a more polite way of saying, oh, it was wonderful for
00:11:59.200
me. She should just get used to it. Here's Trudeau saying that. I've been reflecting very
00:12:05.920
carefully on what I remember from that incident almost 20 years ago. And again, I am, I feel,
00:12:15.880
I am confident that I did not act inappropriately. But part of this awakening that we're having as a
00:12:24.360
society, a long-awaited realization, is that it's not just one side of the story that matters.
00:12:35.400
That the same interactions could be experienced very differently from one person to the next.
00:12:43.120
And I am not going to speak for the woman in question. I would never presume to speak for her.
00:12:50.720
But I know that there is an awful lot of reflection to be had as we move forward as a society
00:12:56.880
on how people perceive different interactions. Like I said, I do not feel that I acted inappropriately
00:13:05.040
in any way. But I respect the fact that someone else might have experienced that differently.
00:13:12.500
And this is part of the reflections that we have to go through.
00:13:15.200
Yeah, I don't know. I think there's something creepy about him. And I think he inherited it from
00:13:18.560
his father, Pierre Trudeau. It was well known that Pierre Trudeau physically battered Margaret Trudeau.
00:13:25.580
And I'm not saying any of these things with delight. It's just how he was. Here's an article. It was on
00:13:31.420
the news wires. I mean, they had a terrible relationship. And maybe Trudeau learned that's
00:13:37.960
how you deal with women. You cheat on them. You physically attack them. You gaslight them.
00:13:43.840
That's what Pierre Trudeau did to women, including his mom. Maybe that's how Justin Trudeau thinks
00:13:49.640
you handle women. I don't know. Well, there's another interesting fact. I read that the children
00:13:57.800
are going to be in the primary custody of Justin Trudeau, which I, for the life of me, cannot
00:14:06.340
understand how that arrangement was made. And I can understand how women are not in an uproar over
00:14:14.280
this white male privilege. And here's, again, I go back to the number of lawyers in my office who
00:14:21.160
practice family law, and you learn a lot. Normally, custody will not be given to a spouse
00:14:27.940
that sexually assaulted someone. Custody will not be given to a spouse that breaks federal laws,
00:14:35.540
the conflict laws. And then he was found to break the law. Custody will not be given to someone who
00:14:42.700
has basically shown some form of misogyny. Custody will not be given to, and this is a very
00:14:51.840
important point, to a spouse that has been or cannot be at home attending to the children
00:15:00.240
because his work is so demanding. I don't think there's a greater demanding job than being prime
00:15:06.400
minister that takes you away from the daily nine to fours of running a family. So how is it possible
00:15:14.360
that Justin Trudeau has custody of three children? And why are people upset about why is Sophie
00:15:21.920
Gregoire denied custody of the children? Why is she shipped away? I mean, I understood why it happened
00:15:28.660
with Pierre Trudeau. And in fact, I knew Pierre Trudeau's, that's how old I am, family law lawyer when he got
00:15:35.640
divorced. And I knew why he kept custody, because it was a different time. Back in, you know, the 70s and
00:15:43.420
the early 80s, powerful men got to get what powerful men wanted. And so there was no question that the
00:15:51.880
prime minister, Pierre Trudeau, had custody of the children, and off goes Margaret without the children.
00:15:57.340
But this is a different time. Women, men should not have the, powerful men, powerful men, powerful
00:16:06.120
white men, should not have the automatic default that they get what they want. So I don't understand
00:16:12.260
it. I don't understand the facts. I have not read of any report of Sophie Gregoire not being a great
00:16:18.180
mother, not being a good woman. There was no allegations of drug use. In fact, if there was
00:16:24.660
allegations of drug use, it was Pierre, I mean, Justin Trudeau. So when I look at all the factors
00:16:30.200
as to what, where does custody or primary custody belong, it certainly would never be with Justin
00:16:37.520
Trudeau. Well, I didn't hear that he got custody. I mean, there's a concept of joint custody, where both
00:16:44.740
sides have shared custody. And I would imagine that would have been the one here. But for the man alone
00:16:51.300
to have custody, if that's what you're saying, and I haven't heard this news before you said it.
00:16:55.840
That's very unusual. I'd say that's fewer than 10% of the cases where the man gets custody,
00:17:01.640
especially if it's sort of a homemaker mom who's with the kids all the time while the dad is traveling
00:17:07.900
the country and traveling the world. It's very unusual. Let me throw something else at you. And this was
00:17:11.880
revealed by Black Locks, which is an independent news company based in Ottawa. They note that by
00:17:19.720
signing this separation agreement, they believe that that means Sophie Trudeau's business affairs
00:17:27.460
are no longer disclosable to the ethics commissioner in the House of Commons. And recently,
00:17:34.540
she created her own sort of media relations, government relations company, says Black Locks.
00:17:43.520
First of all, I don't know if Sophie Trudeau is an expert in media relations, government relations,
00:17:49.140
public relations. I don't really think so. But it's sort of like Hunter Biden selling his
00:17:54.940
paintings for three quarters of a million dollars. No one thinks that those paintings are worth three
00:18:00.260
quarters of millions of dollars. It's just a way to money launder cash to the Bidens. And you're
00:18:06.140
darn straight, Joe Biden is paying attention. Oh, that guy gave my son a three quarters of a million.
00:18:11.820
I think that people who hire Sophie Gregoire Trudeau for media advice or public affairs advice,
00:18:18.960
they'll nod along and say, oh, yes, that's very good advice. They'll pay literally whatever she wants,
00:18:24.600
because it's simply a way to launder cash to the Trudeaus. I think that's what that is. You wouldn't
00:18:29.960
hire Sophie Trudeau to do anything real. You'd hire her to impress her husband, say, oh, I'll take
00:18:36.860
care of your ex for you. I'll hire her for half a million bucks. And now it's not disclosable to
00:18:44.120
the ethics commissioner. Yeah, no, that's a theory as well. You know, Ezra, the thing I learned the
00:18:50.580
most when I was a law student back in the 70s by a great litigation lawyer, he said the truth will come
00:18:56.960
out and the truth will not change. We'll know what the true story is. Again, I'm perplexed that a
00:19:05.720
self-declared feminist in a perfect marriage, loving marriage, gets separated. There's something
00:19:14.820
behind that we don't know. And the truth will come out. It may be what's reported by Black Lives.
00:19:22.040
I don't know about being worried about the ethics commissioner, Ezra. There isn't one.
00:19:27.460
Well, that's a good point. That position is vacant. And that's fine with the Ottawa media.
00:19:32.300
How brilliant is that? I mean, you have an unprecedented ethics violations against you
00:19:40.740
by a series of ethics commissioners. I think it was two or three that all found you guilty. And the way
00:19:47.260
you solve the problem is you don't appoint an ethics commissioner. I mean, absolutely brilliant.
00:19:52.920
You know, there's one more thing I want to mention. And I know people are probably saying,
00:19:56.100
hey, this is a lascivious discussion. And I think some of it may be in the personal realm as opposed
00:20:02.900
to the public realm. Although that's difficult to assert, given that Trudeau showcased his own
00:20:09.300
feminism in the public square. He talked about how he deals with women. He talks about what a
00:20:14.920
feminist he is. So when he has a failure with the central woman of his life, maybe it is for the
00:20:21.640
public grist. I don't know. It's a bit of a gray area in some ways. I mean, I think that Sophie Trudeau
00:20:27.240
in her own right is a largely private person. She hasn't been like, oh, I don't know. Pierre
00:20:33.340
Polyev's wife has been campaigning hard for him. Or in the past, I don't know, either first ladies,
00:20:41.320
for example, in the United States were very political. Michelle Obama, for example. I think
00:20:45.820
Sophie Trudeau was much more private. And so I personally have, over the last eight years, given
00:20:50.960
her more space because I don't think she's duking it out in the public square. But I want to point out
00:20:56.420
something that we saw through an access into information request. One of the things we do,
00:21:02.300
Manny, is we ask for the flight manifests on Justin Trudeau's private jets. So when he jets around,
00:21:09.860
they're not quite private jets. They're government jets, which is why we can get the list of
00:21:14.000
passengers. And when he went over to the UK for the coronation, I think it was on his flight back,
00:21:23.020
his kids were not on the plane. Sophie Trudeau was not on the plane. But his kid's nanny,
00:21:31.620
paid for by taxpayers, was on the plane. Now, I would certainly not make an accusation against a
00:21:36.720
young woman who I know nothing about. But I saw that and I thought, that's weird. Why is the nanny
00:21:43.820
on a private jet with Justin Trudeau coming back from this amazing week in London? And she's not
00:21:53.840
with the kids. Like, isn't a nanny supposed to be with the kids? I don't know. I mean, I don't have
00:21:59.640
an accusation to make. And I don't know anything about the nanny. All I know is she's a stand-up
00:22:04.160
woman who just needed a flight home. But for some reason, she went home with Trudeau and not the
00:22:10.140
family. She was there to nanny. Yeah, I have no idea about this. But that's probably the smallest
00:22:17.740
concern I have about Trudeau and how he's running his government. But in fairness, you know,
00:22:24.540
the reason why I think it's okay to talk about the separation, and we're not talking anything
00:22:32.520
salacious. It's when someone stands up and lectures, I feel lecture, I mean, liberals love to be lectured,
00:22:40.740
love to be told how poor they are. And that's why Trudeau does a great job. I don't like people telling
00:22:47.700
me that I'm not a good husband. I'm not a good man, because I'm not a feminist, or at least I'm not
00:22:55.020
declaring that I'm a feminist. So when Trudeau, you know, I mean, his very first statement in 2015,
00:23:03.860
when he talked about his equal cabinet of the females, he said, well, it's 2015. I mean,
00:23:12.340
why even talking about it? So I think he has made it a central platform of who he is. That is that he
00:23:19.660
cares so deeply about women. He cares so much about equality. It just behooves you to ask,
00:23:28.940
how did it fail in the most important relationship with a woman that is your marriage? So I think it's
00:23:37.120
fair to ask. If he never talked about himself as a person who's a feminist and connects with women,
00:23:43.640
then I would be raising it. It just has to do with the hypocrisy of Justin Trudeau and everything he
00:23:49.680
says. I mean, on Emancipation Day, he sat there with a bunch of black people around him, lecturing
00:23:58.020
Canadians about black hate and black racism. And he's the guy that wore blackface so many times
00:24:07.420
he couldn't remember. So he lectures people. So it's fair when he lectures me, it's fair to me to say,
00:24:19.660
You mentioned Emancipation Day a few years back on Martin Luther King Day, which is an unusual day for
00:24:26.160
the Canadian government to celebrate because Martin Luther King was American in every way.
00:24:31.460
Trudeau was attending an event in Ottawa, and it was a largely black affair, as you would imagine,
00:24:37.720
Martin Luther King Day. So who was the keynote presenter? Well, it was actually Sophie Trudeau,
00:24:43.560
who was singing a homemade song. And I've just got to play that. There's two ways to play that song.
00:24:50.020
One is just to play it in its original glory. And another is to play it with our friend,
00:24:55.620
Gavin McInnes, singing along and giving a commentary. And Manny, I've got to tell you,
00:25:01.540
this video is one of the funniest things Rebel News has ever produced. Let me, you just made me
00:25:06.640
think of it when you mentioned Emancipation Day. Here's Martin Luther King Day about seven or eight
00:25:11.720
years ago. And at a black civil rights event, the keynote speaker was Sophie Trudeau singing her song.
00:25:21.140
I'm maybe in a, I don't know, maybe in a bluesy style, or I don't know why she thought this was a fit,
00:25:29.020
but take a look. And, and our friend Gavin singing along. Here it is.
00:25:33.580
Some people die. Oh, yeah, yeah. Angels can fly. Yeah, yeah. And some people fight.
00:25:44.100
Look how white that audience is. Without knowing why. Oh, sing it, sister. Preach it.
00:25:51.460
Some people live. Without seeing the light. Oh my God. Look at them. What do you think,
00:25:59.000
brothers and sisters? There's some African back there. He's never even heard of Martin Luther King.
00:26:02.980
Look at the picture behind her. And I know that good will prevail.
00:26:11.120
The love that I feel. When you smile back at me. When you smile back at me.
00:26:23.180
From the corner of your eye. Oh, it's a new song now.
00:26:26.020
The day that we will say goodbye. But nothing will take away what's between you and me.
00:26:35.600
When you smile back at me. When you smile back at me.
00:26:40.260
When you smile. When you smile. When you smile.
00:27:04.400
Well, that was just incredible. And who knew she had so much talent.
00:27:09.380
Listen, we're poking some fan at her. But I think you nailed it when you said,
00:27:12.820
if a man praises himself as a feminist, if he holds out that aspect of his life as a role model for society
00:27:20.920
and at the same time condemns you as a misogynist, anti-woman, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic.
00:27:31.520
That's the thing about Trudeau. He didn't just praise himself as the ultimate modern man.
00:27:38.100
He condemned you. Bizarrely, he condemned the truckers as misogynist.
00:27:44.100
If you call everyone else misogynist, you better not be doing wrong to women in your own life.
00:27:50.440
If you call everyone else racist, you better not be the blackface guy yourself.
00:27:54.460
So that, I think, is why this is prior game to an extent.
00:27:59.460
Right. I mean, that's why we're talking about it. I wouldn't otherwise.
00:28:02.640
I mean, there are many politicians that don't go around and lecture and tell.
00:28:06.300
Like, you know, I've been married now 46 years.
00:28:10.080
When Trudeau speaks on how wonderful of a husband he is and how wonderful of a man he is
00:28:16.380
and how connected he is to women, of course I feel smaller.
00:28:19.760
I mean, that's the intent of the liberal ways. Make everyone feel smaller and that way you're appreciative of someone who's greater.
00:28:27.180
Well, I don't like that. I don't like to be told by a guy that has failed, you know, many, many times that he's a wonderful feminist.
00:28:38.060
And you know what? You're not. I'm a better person. I'm a better man.
00:28:42.140
Well, let's dig into it. Why did feminism fail?
00:28:45.880
Why is it that you as a feminist failed? What parts of it did you fail?
00:28:50.660
What did you not understand? And what is true feminism?
00:28:53.880
So it goes to the core of his political platform, which is, you know, you know, if you're citing a way about racism and racism and racism,
00:29:06.640
I remember seeing a picture of, you know, when I got married, I mean, obviously it was an Italian wedding and this is, but I had non-Italians, I had other ethnic groups as my, as ushers.
00:29:20.200
If you look at Trudeau's wedding picture, I mean, you couldn't get a whiter, richer, I think they're all in cabinet now, but it was a sliver of the economy of white privileged people.
00:29:32.220
So it's fair to ask, why did you have a man of color at your wedding? What is it?
00:29:37.480
Why are you, everyone that's close to you and very close to you, the whitest and the most privileged Canadians that there are?
00:29:45.160
Well, listen, we've been talking about his marital troubles and I think they're a fair game to an extent.
00:29:52.920
And I think he's made them a fair game to an extent.
00:29:55.520
And I think the, the regime media lecturing people, you may not talk about these personal matters is a bit rich considering how Trudeau talked about our personal matters,
00:30:07.060
including whether or not we were jabbed, whether or not we were vaccinated.
00:30:11.460
I'm not sure if I'm going to take lessons on privacy from the man who took away ours, but Manny, let's pivot for a second.
00:30:17.820
We've been talking for about a half an hour about Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau and Justin Trudeau.
00:30:22.400
Let's, let's move on to something perhaps most sub, more substantive.
00:30:26.220
And I've just noticed something in the last few months, the number of severely normal Canadians, young people, new Canadians, people who are clearly not political hacks,
00:30:37.980
just going on social media and saying, I can't recognize Canada anymore.
00:30:46.480
Like it, it's almost like there's this wave of young people saying, how can I live in Toronto or Vancouver or even Calgary?
00:31:00.080
I think it's a combination of inflation, housing prices, huge immigration numbers that are turning into homeless camps in different cities, crime.
00:31:09.420
I think suddenly things have turned really sour in terms of measurable quality of life issues.
00:31:18.700
So put aside sort of the gossipy personal stuff.
00:31:21.440
All of a sudden, times are not great in Canada.
00:31:25.360
I think most people would say we're heading in the wrong direction.
00:31:28.820
And that abacus poll says 81% of Canadians think we need a change.
00:31:33.600
Do you think that those people will actually vote for an alternative in the next election?
00:31:40.040
Or will they be scared back into voting for the safe liberal instead of the scary conservative?
00:31:47.220
Well, yeah, I think the media is going to do all its best.
00:31:50.480
And certainly CBC has to, because CBC is on the chopping block, do all its best to demonize Pierre Poliver.
00:31:58.280
He's going to be, I've seen it done with Stephen Harper.
00:32:06.500
So they'll demonize, they'll demonize Pierre Poliver, who is raised by two teachers, was an adopted child, married a refugee.
00:32:20.480
You couldn't get a better example of what a Canadian, centralist Canadian is.
00:32:29.880
They'll make him, I mean, they'll make him a terrible soul.
00:32:34.920
I did a post and I'll give you some stat and I'll send it to you.
00:32:46.420
But Russia is under severe economic sanctions because of its war in Ukraine.
00:32:58.160
Canada's food inflation is about 8.6% or 8.3%, I'm going.
00:33:04.980
Gasoline in Canada is $100.87 across the board per litre.
00:33:15.060
The Canadians, Trudeau's policies, and here's this country that emits 1.4% of the world's CO2, India and China in the last 10 or 15 years have added 30 Canada's in emissions.
00:33:32.680
30 full Canada's in emissions and continue to add each day.
00:33:39.820
And here in Canada, we are taxing our Canadians and we're making it.
00:33:46.020
Now, a carbon tax, the sixth or seventh tax on gasoline, makes it harder to drive.
00:33:52.340
And most poor people need their cars, either delivery or what they do.
00:34:07.760
His storage, whatever it's, grains or whatever, has to be heated or cows or whatever.
00:34:16.440
And by the time he gets to the grocery store, the carbon tax kicks in there as well.
00:34:27.760
Abundant energy everywhere, either through hydro or through coal or through gas.
00:34:34.800
Canada, so hydro or heating ourselves has become unaffordable and driving has become unaffordable.
00:34:41.760
All because we have these virtue signaling taxes that absolutely do nothing in alleviating any concern about the global boiling.
00:34:59.620
But that's, I mean, you might as well, I don't know.
00:35:07.860
But you sit there and say, even if it worked, do you not know that China is adding a whole Canada every year?
00:35:16.220
Now, I put it to people, like, if it's true and we're coming to the end of humanity, global boiling, do you think that China, India, and I don't know if you know of any Chinese or Indian scientists, but they're probably part of the world's best.
00:35:38.540
And they probably have 100 times more statistically than Canada due to population.
00:35:45.600
Do you think these experts are saying we are going to kill ourselves because we are adding a Canada every six months?
00:35:54.820
So it's either, Ezra, either we are the global boiling is now the most racist tool that there is because we're ignoring experts from China.
00:36:05.800
We're ignoring experts from India, and I know some Chinese and Indian scientists who are the top, and they're not saying, hey, government, stop.
00:36:23.500
So what is the global boiling, in my view, is the biggest racist adventure by the white privilege trying to keep the growing part of the world, the third world, the blacks and browns of the world, attaining a life that we have and enjoy.
00:36:49.980
I mean, the Industrial Revolution, we had our Industrial Revolution in the UK and Western Europe and North America.
00:36:56.960
And if we had a policy to restrict food and energy in Asia and Africa, they would be stunted in their growth.
00:37:05.040
But I think what's happening is, as you mentioned, India and China, they are growing as they wish.
00:37:11.740
Only the luxurious, post-industrial, post-national West is committing actual economic suicide.
00:37:25.440
Yeah, Ezra, in India right now, there are five times Canada's population that don't even have electricity.
00:37:39.080
Electricity, at its bare minimum, extends life by 10 to 20 years.
00:37:45.520
So Indians are dying much younger than Canadians because they don't have basic electricity.
00:37:53.280
Do you think that the Indian government is saying, whoa, let's let all these people die early so we don't have the earth boiling?
00:38:04.680
There isn't one expert in India saying, they're laughing at us.
00:38:13.160
I think we're at the seventh, eighth, ninth tax on gasoline.
00:38:17.100
And I always say, had they named the very first gasoline tax, a carbon tax, there would be no global boiling today.
00:38:28.400
We're putting Canadians into poverty that they want to leave.
00:38:36.140
You have no idea when we landed on the shores of Canada, how my family, and I was a little bit a boy, how my brothers, we were so happy to come to Canada.
00:38:47.800
And seeing your children want to leave is the greatest failure that there can be.
00:38:53.660
Well, Manny, you're part of the fight back and so are we.
00:38:58.820
We started talking about Sophie Trudeau and we ended talking about trying to fix the country to stop good people from wanting to leave.
00:39:07.040
It's the fact that they want to leave that's so bloody sad.
00:39:16.900
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
