For all of Justin Trudeau's simping, China still calls Canada a giant baby. What does that mean, and why does it matter to them? Ezra Levenveen explains in this episode of The Ezra LeeVant Show.
00:01:12.600Tonight, for all of Justin Trudeau's simping, China still calls Canada a giant baby.
00:01:19.080It's May 6th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:24.140Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:27.820There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:31.900The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:37.760The funny thing about China's Communist Party is that, like, say, a wild animal, it can sense fear.
00:01:49.700As in, if you bend the knee, if you appease it, if you pay the Danegeld, as Rudyard Kipling wrote about another international bully centuries ago, the Vikings,
00:01:58.880well, they'll just take and take and take the classic proof of that is nicknames, the most personal expression of admiration or contempt.
00:02:08.540I mean, compare how the Chinese treat Donald Trump, the most vocally anti-China president in history, surely.
00:02:16.700They gave him the red carpet, honor guard, the works.
00:02:19.060And I never get tired of this article in nothing less than the New York Times, of all places.
00:05:51.840February 17th, you said that the suspension of flights from, to and from China and closing the borders, and I'll quote you, was not effective at all in controlling the spread of the disease.
00:06:00.880You also said in the long term, they create a greater risk to public health.
00:06:05.080You also praised China as being very open.
00:06:08.160I'm just, were you wrong about that, Minister?
00:06:10.540And I think it's important to know that, because we've still got a long road ahead.
00:06:14.300Well, I think, you know, the praise that I offered China in the early days was based on their historic containment efforts.
00:06:20.840Don't forget, there were, you know, multiple, millions and millions of Chinese people under, essentially, confinement, if you will, for a very long time.
00:06:31.020In fact, in some of those cities, people are just getting back to normal.
00:06:33.860And that was a public health measure that had never been seen before.
00:09:05.860He'd rather disparage Taiwan or even deny its existence, not even say the word Taiwan, than talk about the most successful country that fought the virus and upset his Communist masters.
00:09:51.580Canada is again becoming an accomplice in the U.S. buck-passing campaign and scapegoating either WHO or China for its flawed handling of the epidemic to cover up its systematic loopholes.
00:10:03.420By exerting pressure on high-level medical expert Bruce Aylward, some Canadian politicians fawned on the U.S.
00:10:09.040by expressing their dissatisfaction with the WHO and expressed doubts about China's dealing of the epidemic in the earlier stages.
00:10:17.960Yeah, I think it was in a unanimous vote by that parliamentary committee to summon that little weasel, Aylward.
00:10:23.980So Trudeau's liberals, the China simps, they actually all agreed.
00:10:46.220Like the U.S., Canada acts like a country with a self-centered giant baby mentality who refuses to accept the fact which it is unwilling to believe.
00:10:55.860The coronavirus had struck a blow to their once-vaunted superior capabilities.
00:11:00.140In responding to public health crises, the death rate from the coronavirus in Canada, higher than that of China, crushed their illusions and sense of superiority.
00:11:35.420Calling everyone who's worried about the pandemic a racist.
00:11:38.200She was wrong on everything, but frankly, she was just parroting the Chinese Communist Party's own talking points since she works for the WHO directly.
00:11:45.860So I think there's some truth in this criticism.
00:11:48.020My main observation is, it's funny that Trudeau gives China literally everything.
00:11:52.900He rushes to give the bully their lunch money.
00:11:55.880He sent them 16 tons of face masks and still they mock him as a giant baby.
00:12:01.300That's even worse than nickname, the little potato, the giant baby.
00:12:05.360See, Canada's deep skepticism reflects its extreme ideological anxiety and frustration, they continue.
00:12:38.860They are pointing a finger at a renowned epidemiologist who led a group of WHO experts to China for a joint mission on COVID-19 in February because Ailward revealed some facts those politicians long balked at.
00:12:50.460Ailward praised China's coronavirus prevention work, saying potential patients were well organized and tested quickly at a press conference in Beijing in February.
00:13:00.760But some in Canada continue to hold on to their prejudice against China, ignoring some of the key elements of China's success in fighting the epidemic, which Ailward summarized and applauded.
00:13:10.860Canada should invite Ailward back to the country for more experience sharing and consultations, but not for being blamed for its own mismanagement.
00:13:19.560So the Chinese communists love this Ailward guy.
00:13:55.800A small part of me is glad they read me in return, but it's also something that Bruce Ailward should read.
00:14:01.640And Trudeau and Patty Hajdu and Teresa bracelets Tam.
00:14:04.680If there are people who are non-compliant, there are definitely laws and public health powers that can quarantine people in mandatory settings.
00:14:17.340It's potential you could track people, put bracelets on their arms, have police and other setups to ensure quarantine is undertaken.
00:14:27.260Yeah, I think all of Canada's public health elite and political elites should read this article in the Global Times because if China's Communist Party is praising you, you're being a Canadian wrong.
00:14:54.840Well, I remember it wasn't that long ago when Tony Clements, the former Conservative Cabinet Minister, mused that Justin Trudeau had a scheme to seize guns without passing it through Parliament.
00:15:14.340Justin Trudeau taking advantage of two crises, one of them a national, international pandemic, the other the personal tragedy of the largest mass shooting in Canadian history.
00:15:26.300Piggybacking on top of both of those crises, Justin Trudeau made his move to ban what he called 1,500 different types of firearms.
00:15:38.240Our next guest thinks that it was not only useless, it's chaotic and illogical.
00:15:43.540That's the title of his column in the Edmonton Sun.
00:15:46.960Trudeau's ban on so-called assault rifle is not only useless, it's chaotic and illogical.
00:15:51.120And joining us here to make the case in person is our friend, Lorne Contra.
00:20:21.360But we were told again and again and again and again and again by the liberals that these guns are so dangerous that we cannot have them in our society.
00:20:31.760And yet, in the same order where they banned them, they let existing owners keep them for their lifetime.
00:20:38.740So, as I said, you know, if you're young, it could be 70 years.
00:20:42.120In many cases, it'll be 30 or 40 years that people get to keep these guns.
00:21:09.800And they'll say, well, I might as well get my money out of them.
00:21:12.640So let me sell them to the government, which then intends, once it buys them, to destroy them.
00:21:18.800Well, the government isn't ready to buy guns.
00:21:20.960It can't be ready for at least two years for its buyback program.
00:21:27.800So part of the Order in Council is an amnesty for all existing owners of these two dangerous guns, an amnesty for two years at least, until a government can get its act together to start its buyback.
00:21:40.440So this is purely symbolic bollocks, is what this is.
00:21:50.580Even if they had seized all of the guns on Saturday, they still wouldn't have made the country any safer.
00:21:55.560But nonetheless, the guns are in the possession of the people we were told it's too dangerous to give them to.
00:22:01.460And the government has no way of buying them from you, which is the only thing you can do if you want to get rid of them.
00:22:08.460So it is complete progressive symbolism.
00:22:12.800It's just one of these make nice things that the Truro government does over and over and over again.
00:22:20.320For instance, banning plastic straw is not going to save a single turtle because Canadian straws don't get in the ocean to choke turtles.
00:22:27.680But those are one of the things that we're going to do.
00:22:29.780They're just so big on woke symbolism to show how passionate they are, how concerned they are, how intelligent they are, that they do these useless things over and over again.
00:22:42.160But this is probably the worst of all the things that they've promised to do.
00:22:46.880I mean, to me, a perfect symbol of that was in the depth of the pandemic panic, Justin Trudeau celebrating Earth Hour when we're all basically under house arrest.
00:22:58.060He just had to let you know, as if he turned off the power in his little 22-room mansion.
00:23:04.980I do note that not only do we have the quirks that you just mentioned, the buyback's not ready, there's an amnesty for those two years, those guns will still be around for decades.
00:23:15.520I read that Aboriginal people, First Nations, are just exempt altogether.
00:23:22.720So these evil assault weapons, like I saw Ahmed Hassan, the cabinet minister, tweeted a picture, a terrifying looking picture of an AR-15.
00:23:33.600There's no room for this gun in Canada, he said, well, if it's that deadly, that dangerous, why is there a specific exemption for First Nations?
00:23:45.920Are they not worthy of our protection?
00:23:48.900Are they not entitled to Justin Trudeau's loving care?
00:23:52.780I mean, it's, but I think you're right that this is absolutely targeted at low information CBC and Toronto Star journalists who will then publish it to their low information viewers.
00:24:07.840I mean, the amount of, I mean, if you ask your average Toronto Star or CBC journalist, can you please define an assault weapon?
00:24:16.800They wouldn't know, they wouldn't know what it means.
00:24:20.140Can you tell me the difference between...
00:24:21.700And they have so much blind faith in government to make those kind of definitions for them.
00:24:27.200But the ironic thing is that in most of these bans, either this current one or ones that they have done since 1998 under the same legal authority,
00:24:37.080there are often civilian variations of these firearms that have the same muzzle velocity, the same firing speed.
00:24:46.340You know, you can put the same number of cartridges in them.
00:24:49.680They are virtually the same gun, but they don't look like a military weapon.
00:24:54.860And so they have the same killing power as the military variant, but people use them to hunt, just as they use the military variant.
00:25:04.280I mean, it's not as though people are going around having fun war games using live ammunition with these assault weapons.
00:25:11.540It's just they like the look of it better than the other model.
00:25:14.240And so Canadians are using them legitimately, legally, safely, smartly, all those things.
00:25:22.400But the government can't let that sit, can't let it sit.
00:25:26.300One of the things that, one of the guns that's listed in this is a hundred-year-old elephant gun.
00:25:32.460So how many times has a convenience store in Canada been held up with a hundred-year-old elephant gun?
00:39:20.100I was watching the extended clip that we have on the FightTheFines.com page, and I don't think that that ticketing cop had the power to put hands on this woman,
00:39:33.080to handcuff her, to physically search her under her clothes.
00:39:36.860That's creepy, to put her in a car and separate her from her kid.
00:39:40.160It would be like if you had a parking ticket, if your parking meter expired and some meter maid put a ticket under your windshield wiper,
00:39:47.540you'd say, all right, grumble, grumble.
00:39:49.280But for that person, they'd say, up against the car, handcuffs.
