Oh, hey, that was unexpected. We didn't get a countdown. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:00:31.120
Good morning. Good morning, everyone. Yes. Good afternoon. Good day.
00:00:36.760
Yeah, I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed. You're watching the Rebel Roundup. It's our daily news and opinion show.
00:00:42.800
And you just saw my friend, Lise Merle, my co-host on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but so often my co-host
00:00:49.740
in many of my antics. Lise Merle from Regina, Saskatchewan. Lise, how's it going?
00:00:55.240
Well, it couldn't be better in Saskatchewan today. Our conversations are centered around one thing
00:01:03.400
and one thing only, and that's Saskatchewan sovereignty. And I can't wait to get into
00:01:08.640
what Danielle Smith said yesterday. She dropped a hammer on the federal government and well-deserved.
00:01:14.460
I mean, this is going to be a real interesting time for Western Canada, Sheila. And we've been
00:01:20.540
calling this for years. We've been conjuring this for years.
00:01:25.120
Yeah. And all the usual suspects whom Danielle Smith warned of yesterday are coming out to say
00:01:32.040
like, this is un-Canadian, this is un-Albertan, these are traitors. She specifically addressed
00:01:38.120
these predictable losers last night or yesterday afternoon, depending on when you watched it.
00:01:45.360
So we'll get to that. We'll tell everybody what we're doing. So as I'm sure you have figured out
00:01:50.440
by now, this is a completely unscripted news and opinion show. Sometimes we're coming in cold.
00:01:56.600
Like for example, I threw a couple of items in our last little bit of the show, which is our,
00:02:02.920
the daily cringe. I have two items. Maybe we'll see which one makes us cringe worse,
00:02:07.920
but I haven't watched them yet. So we're going to watch them together.
00:02:11.200
And this is a great opportunity for you to have your say. I like to say we are democratizing the
00:02:16.240
news. So if you're watching us over on Rumble, thank you for sticking it out on a really excellent
00:02:22.080
free speech platform. They really do care about your human right to speak your mind unmolested by the
00:02:28.660
government. You can support our work over there because as you know, we'll never take a penny
00:02:32.580
from Mark Carney to do the work that we do through something called a rumble rant. That's our paid
00:02:37.880
chat. If it's over the $5 us cutoff, we are making it mandatory. We'll read it on air. If it's under
00:02:42.540
that amount, we'll do our best to get to it. Time permitting. Although we do our very best to make
00:02:46.880
time for you. Um, because we know that you choosing to support us is important because without you,
00:02:53.960
there's no rebel news on YouTube. We are recently remonetized over there. I don't know how long
00:02:59.800
that's going to last, but if you prefer to watch us over there, I get it. It's, it's intuitive. Um,
00:03:06.880
you can leave us a super chat over there. Same rules apply, but there's another way that you can
00:03:11.840
support us too. And that's through a super thanks. That's their paid chats. If you're watching the
00:03:16.240
recorded version of the show, you can support us that way too. So you don't have to tune in live
00:03:21.600
to support us here at rebel news. We've got a couple of different ways that you can do that.
00:03:26.180
So let's get into, I'm just scrolling back up to the top of our, um, our list here. Carney
00:03:35.280
is meeting with Trump today. And, uh, sounds like Trump really was like, I'm not sure what our
00:03:42.200
meeting's about. He called and yeah. Uh, the guy from Canada called and he said he's coming over for
00:03:51.340
lunch and I'm not sure what he wants, but okay. That's Trump's response. Like treating Mark Carney
00:03:58.100
just like a, like a trick-or-treater. Like, I don't know really why he's here.
00:04:02.520
Yeah, but you would at least know why the trick-or-treaters are knocking on your door,
00:04:06.020
That's true. It's true. Oh, I can't wait to get into this.
00:04:10.540
Okay. So we've got president Trump and, uh, Canada's liberal prime minister,
00:04:14.720
Mark Carney meet in the white house for the first time after months of tariffs and Canada's
00:04:19.080
federal leadership changes. Let's watch. I'm already, maybe this is my daily dose of cringe.
00:04:24.920
I'm already anxious because I'm worried about how, uh, our osteoporotic prime minister who is,
00:04:34.080
thinks he's smarter than everybody else is going to react to Trump because Trump is rough around the
00:04:41.260
edges, but he is also, I mean, look at the place fancy as all get out. Um, and he, you know,
00:04:48.000
he's unimpressed by a banker, you know, like you just know he is. So let's, uh, let's hear what he
00:04:54.200
has to say. Okay. Thank you very much, everybody. Uh, it's a great honor to have prime minister,
00:05:00.640
Mark Carney with us. As you know, just a few days ago, he won a very big election in Canada.
00:05:07.260
And, uh, I think I was probably the greatest thing that happened to him, but I can't take
00:05:11.240
focus. They were, his party was losing by a lot and, uh, he ended up winning. So I really want to
00:05:18.480
congratulate him. It was one of the, probably one of the greatest comebacks in the history of politics,
00:05:22.280
maybe even greater than mine, but I want to just, uh, congratulate you. That was a great
00:05:28.460
election. Actually, we were watching it with interest and I think, uh, Canada chose a very
00:05:32.960
talented person, a very good person as we spoke before the election quite a few times. And, uh,
00:05:38.960
it's an honor to have you at the White House and the Oval Office. And you see the new and improved
00:05:43.500
Oval Office as it, uh, becomes more and more beautiful with love, you know, we handle it with
00:05:49.640
great love and 24 karat gold that always helps too. But it's, uh, it's been a lot of fun going
00:05:57.420
over some of the beautiful pictures that were stored in the vaults that were for many, many years,
00:06:03.380
in some cases, over a hundred years, they were stored in vaults of the, uh, great presidents who
00:06:09.180
are almost great presidents, all, all having a reason for being up every one of them. So it's very
00:06:14.800
interesting, but I just want to congratulate you and, uh, ran a really great race. I watched the
00:06:20.080
debate. I thought you were excellent. And I think we have a lot of things in common. We have some
00:06:25.360
tough, tough points to go over and that'll be fine. But we're going to also be discussing
00:06:29.440
Ukraine, Russia, the war, because, uh, Mark wants it ended as quickly as I do. I think it has to end.
00:06:36.160
Uh, Mark, would you like to say a few words? Um, well, thank you, Mr. President. I'm, I'm on the edge of
00:06:40.800
my seat, actually. But, uh, thank you for your hospitality and, uh, and above all for your,
00:06:47.360
for your leadership. Uh, you're a, you're a transformational president, uh, the focus on
00:06:52.080
the economy with a relentless focus on the American worker, uh, securing your borders, um,
00:06:57.440
providing, uh, ending the scourge of fentanyl, uh, and other opioids and, uh, and securing the world.
00:07:04.000
And I've been elected, uh, with, uh, with my colleagues here, with the help of my colleagues here,
00:07:09.040
I'm going to spread, spread the, uh, uh, the credit, uh, to transform Canada, um, with a similar
00:07:15.680
focus on the economy, securing our borders, uh, again, on fentanyl, uh, much greater focus on
00:07:21.840
defense and security, securing the Arctic and developing the Arctic. Um, and you know,
00:07:26.640
the history of Canada and the U S is we're stronger when we work together and there's many
00:07:30.560
opportunities to work together. And I look forward to, you know, addressing some of those issues that
00:07:34.960
we have, but also, uh, finding those areas of mutual cooperation so we can go forward.
00:07:39.040
Great. That's great. Very nice. Thank you very much.
00:07:44.560
Well, I'm, I'm full of things to say, but at Mark Carney, he was probably like, okay, what did they
00:07:53.040
cheating? Cheating off, uh, Polly have like, oh, we're going to stop the scourge of fentanyl.
00:07:58.640
Would you mind quit giving opioids to people? Could we start there? We're going to secure the
00:08:02.880
borders. Uh, you guys are the ones that destroyed the border. Um, and, uh, protecting the Arctic.
00:08:09.520
Like that is Polly have made that announcement in the Arctic. You're the cheater.
00:08:15.440
These are things that we have never, ever, ever heard Mark Carney say ever, not on this stuff.
00:08:20.880
No, not at all. This is, this is Mark Carney, chief butt kisser of, of President Donald Trump.
00:08:28.320
Like this is Carney kissing his butt. But this is like, this is completely new to, to Canadians. We
00:08:34.320
never heard this in the campaign. This was not part of the conversation. As a matter of fact, Mark Carney
00:08:40.560
was antagonistic and awful and ran on an anti-Trump platform. Did Trump, like, does Trump not remember
00:08:46.320
that? He literally, he does. I think he's being a chaos goblin again, where he's like, ah, now he's
00:08:53.280
elected. Uh, the conservative is going to win his seat handedly. We're probably going to be back at
00:09:00.800
election within, I suspect maybe two years. And so let me just sow some chaos, sprinkling the chaos around,
00:09:11.440
like Johnny Appleseed and saying like, oh, you're, you're the guy. I really like you. We have a lot of
00:09:15.920
things in common. Uh, cause I think he knows that being called Trumpy in Canada, at least to the,
00:09:24.320
uh, the sweater set types are like, that is lethal. And so he's sort of making it like, uh, he's my guy
00:09:32.880
now. So I don't know what, to what end Trump would do this, except that he's just a chaos goblin on the
00:09:39.520
best of days towards the rest of the world. Right. And, and the truth will, but like the proof is going to
00:09:45.020
be in the pudding, which is going to come after when he's asked about the meeting, right? Like
00:09:50.060
he's really conciliatory right now and, and being really friendly neighbor, neighbor, but it's,
00:09:55.040
it's going to come out in the interviews after the meeting. So we'll see what Trump has to say.
00:10:00.040
That's when we're going to get the real goods. Right. Let's skip ahead to, uh, Donald Trump's,
00:10:07.640
uh, truth social post about the meeting. Uh, because he talks about this, uh, he says,
00:10:18.200
and this is to your point that we need to listen to after what happens. So you already heard what
00:10:25.300
Howard Lutnick thinks of us and you like, of course, and Trump is trying to be a good host,
00:10:31.900
right? Like he's like, and this is my nice new furniture. And he's giving like the real estate
00:10:37.620
tour of the white house. Enjoy the 24 karat gold trim that we've installed in the oval office
00:10:44.440
recently. Like he's pulling up, he's pulling a Trump tower reveal in the oval office. It's kind
00:10:49.800
of awesome. It's kind of awesome. Right. Right. So basically saying like, you might be like a
00:10:54.600
billionaire banker with globalist connections, but I don't care because right behind me is a 24 karat
00:11:01.740
gold Eagle. You think I care? Like that's what that was about. But this is, Oh, skip ahead. Let's
00:11:08.420
go to what Trump had to say. He said, I look forward to meeting with the new prime minister
00:11:12.000
of Canada, Mark Carney. I very much want to work with him, but I can't understand one simple truth.
00:11:17.500
Why is America subsidizing Canada by $200 billion a year? In addition to giving them free military
00:11:22.120
protection and many other things, we don't need their cars. We don't need their energy. I disagree.
00:11:27.740
You do need our energy. Otherwise you don't have your refineries are fit for our kind of oil. So
00:11:34.880
you can get it from us or you can get it from Venezuela. And I'm pretty sure you don't want it
00:11:37.440
from Venezuela. Um, and many other things, uh, we don't need anything they have other than their
00:11:44.240
friendship, which hopefully we will always maintain. They, on the other hand, need everything
00:11:48.800
from us. The prime minister will be arriving shortly. And that will be most likely my only
00:11:53.860
question of consequence. So they're going to start negotiating on the tariffs. Like right now
00:11:59.560
is what Trump is saying. He's going to start, he's going to start this negotiation with Mark
00:12:04.140
Carney and we'll see how Mark Carney stands up to the toughest big swinger in the entire world.
00:12:10.720
I mean, I don't have a lot of, a lot of confidence. I saw the wee little clip of Mark Carney arriving
00:12:16.060
at the white house. He looks so frail. He looks so frail. He looks like a little old lady.
00:12:23.400
Um, with his little convex back. Somebody correct me as a convex. He's got shrimp posture. Like he's
00:12:29.840
got the posture of a shrimp. Yes. Little crustacean arriving at the white house. Oh, this, like his,
00:12:37.700
his fist pump gives me secondhand cringe to no end. Like this is level 10 monkey see monkey do. Just
00:12:43.640
wait, just wait. Cause so they do a, so then Trump will do a little fist pump. Watch. And here goes
00:12:47.680
Carney. I just want to die. Like it's so, it's actually so embarrassing. So anyway, yeah, I just saw
00:12:57.780
that little piece. I was like, okay, well, every, all the energy that he had, he has to go lay down
00:13:06.980
now in the oval office. Cause he's like little weak, little weak fist. What happened to your elbows
00:13:15.160
up loser? What happened to that? I mean, that was a pretty weak, that was a pretty weak elbows up. If
00:13:21.640
I, if I must say so myself. And do you not think for a second, the JD fans is JD Vance is, uh, full of
00:13:30.320
intel. Thanks to Jamil Javani about how this should all go. Oh, I love this so much that we have a guy
00:13:39.140
that we have a guy on the inside, like who is best buddies. So Jamil Javani for anybody that doesn't
00:13:45.080
know Jamil Javani and JD Vance were roommates in university. So they are, they are very tight.
00:13:51.340
They've got a real tight relationship. And, um, and, uh, I just can't wait to see how this plays out
00:13:56.920
because of course, Trump would have all of that Intel. Like, of course he would. Yeah. Uh,
00:14:03.500
let's go to Howard Lutnick. Howard Lutnick. He's so fun. Uh, commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick,
00:14:13.820
who does have a very good relationship, I think with premier Daniel Smith, whom we'll get to in a
00:14:17.860
little bit. He has called Canada a socialist regime. And, uh, I would like someone to tell me
00:14:24.820
where's the lie. He says, can we, uh, can we make a deal with Canada? Uh, maybe we have a clip of
00:14:31.760
this. I don't know, but he told Fox business networks, Larry Kudlow. Uh, I think it's really
00:14:37.200
complex. I mean, this is really complex because they have been basically feeding off us for decades
00:14:42.760
upon decades upon decades, right? They have their socialist regime and it's basically feeding off
00:14:49.240
America. I mean, the president calls it out all the time. Feeding. Suckling. Feeding. Uh,
00:14:54.300
calls us a parasite. And I was like, yeah, okay. Yeah. Uh, why do we make our films in Canada?
00:14:59.920
Come on. So I think it's going to be a fascinating meeting. I'm glad I'm going to be there listening,
00:15:04.640
but it's going to be fascinating meeting tomorrow. I just don't see how it works out so perfect.
00:15:09.360
Anyway. Yeah. That's sort of the, they also, they also basically said, we're going to repatriate our
00:15:17.620
film manufacturing. Uh, so I, I mean, I didn't know why they're doing it in Canada. I mean,
00:15:24.760
we have all these, uh, locations that could double as, uh, any place in the United States. Um, and they
00:15:32.460
could do it for like 30 to 50% less thanks to our pathetic dollar. So, uh, I get why they film here
00:15:40.860
for sure. Um, but I also get why Trump wants to bring it home. Yep. Uh, uh, a lot of, a lot of
00:15:47.460
jurisdictions in Canada have invested a great many millions of dollars into, uh, developing our film
00:15:55.200
sector. Greg Creek, Greg Creek, South of Calgary. It, I mean, it's just, it doubles as every Western
00:16:02.700
town anywhere, right? Like this is how it is. Regina has one of the most techno, technologically
00:16:10.500
advanced sound stages in the world. And, uh, Trump is putting a stop to that. So it's, it's, well,
00:16:16.060
it's bad for, it's bad for Canada, but Trump did run on an America first platform and he's got
00:16:22.680
people like Mel Gibson and John Voight in his back pocket saying, we need to bring the film
00:16:28.400
industry back to Hollywood. Like Hollywood is famous for making movies. And other than,
00:16:33.780
other than the sign, it's cheaper to fly an entire crew to Romania or to Canada or to, to wherever to
00:16:40.740
film because of the regulatory, uh, burdens on American film production. So this'll be really
00:16:46.680
interesting to watch unfold too. Yeah. Like some of your most popular shows, many of them were filmed
00:16:52.580
in Vancouver because Vancouver can double for a lot of places. I mean, this, this is decades
00:16:58.440
worth of a problem though. This started like with the X-Files X-Files was filmed in Vancouver in and
00:17:04.200
around 25, 30 years ago. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let's move ahead. Uh, Melanie Jolie. Now look at
00:17:13.060
these guys all sucking up to Trump now, now that they're anti-Trump stance, won them the election
00:17:18.020
with boomers. And again, I have to preface this by saying, if you are a David Menzies boomer,
00:17:23.820
don't write me a letter. I'm not talking about you. Um, but anyways, uh, now boomers. Yeah. Yeah.
00:17:29.940
They're the best. Yeah. Um, foreign minister, Melanie Jolie privately praised the United States
00:17:37.540
for taking a hard stand on drugs. That's the hard stand on drugs that her government was unwilling
00:17:42.160
to take. And if you took it, then you would not care about the suffering of the addicts. Well,
00:17:47.680
I care about the suffering of their families at the end of the day, if I had to choose. Um,
00:17:52.780
she said, uh, and she said this after Trump threatened 25% tariffs in the name of border
00:17:59.620
security records show, the comments were at odds with cabinets, public statements, and were scripted
00:18:05.900
in notes for a Mar-a-Lago conference. These people, it makes it, this makes it abundantly clear
00:18:14.240
that being anti-Trump was an election choice because it would appeal to a very certain demographic
00:18:21.200
who fell for it. Well, it was an election lie. That's right. Yeah, that's exactly right. It was
00:18:26.880
an election lie. The duplicity that they're showing here, the liberal party of Canada, and this will be
00:18:32.060
no surprise to our viewers that the liberals are duplicitous in almost everything they do,
00:18:36.940
that what they say and what they do are almost always at odds with each other. And they can't
00:18:41.600
be trusted to follow through on what they say they're going to do or the, the, uh, the, um,
00:18:49.760
sort of the, the, the meaning behind it when they say, you know, just for an example,
00:18:56.080
medical assistance in dying. I mean, when they talk about that, it's not to relieve the suffering of,
00:19:01.340
of Canadians. It's to, it's to, uh, make it cheaper for them to operate. Everything they say
00:19:07.620
has a double meaning that, that should be inspected. And this is just another example.
00:19:11.940
Okay. We've got more Trump clips. Uh, our team is cutting them as they go. Uh, they're,
00:19:19.220
they're asked about the 51st state with Carney sitting right there. Uh, he says, I am ready.
00:19:27.220
Uh, you know what? I don't think the entire country could be the 51st state. I don't think
00:19:32.780
Trump would want it. I have my own opinions. And then we have an editorial position at rebel news,
00:19:38.220
which is like, we don't take an opinion, except this will be a place where people who can, can share
00:19:44.620
their opinions without being told to shut up and treated as fringe radicals or as seditionists
00:19:50.240
as Mark Carney would probably label them. But Carney deserves every little bit of this. Yes.
00:19:57.220
Uh, Mr. Prime Minister, I'd like to get your responses too. Mr. President, you have said
00:20:01.540
that Canada should become the pitch for state. No, no. Well, I still believe that, but, but,
00:20:07.440
you know, it takes two to tango, right? Uh, but no, I do. I mean, I believe it would be, uh,
00:20:12.860
a massive tax cut for the Canadian citizens. Uh, you get free military, you get tremendous, uh,
00:20:19.880
medical cares and other things. Uh, there'd be a lot of, uh, advantages, but it would be,
00:20:25.800
it would be a massive tax cut. And it's also a beautiful, you know, as a real estate developer,
00:20:30.960
you know, I'm a real estate developer at heart. When you get rid of that artificially drawn line,
00:20:35.480
somebody drew that line many years ago with like a ruler, just a straight line right across the top of
00:20:40.420
the country. When you look at that beautiful formation, when it's together, I'm a very
00:20:45.640
artistic person. But when I looked at that, you know, I said, that's the way it was meant to be.
00:20:50.720
But you know, it, uh, I guess, I do feel it's much better for Canada, but we're not going to be
00:20:57.800
discussing that unless somebody wants to discuss it. I think that, um, there are tremendous benefits
00:21:03.260
to the Canadian citizens, tremendously lower taxes, free military, which honestly we give you
00:21:09.220
essentially anyway, because we're protecting Canada if you've had a problem. But, uh, I think,
00:21:14.720
you know, it's, uh, it would really be a wonderful marriage because it's, it's two places. They get
00:21:20.220
along very well. They like each other a lot. Well, if, if, if I may, um, as you know, from real
00:21:27.180
estate, there are some places that, uh, are never for sale. That's true. Uh, we're sitting in one
00:21:31.560
right now, you know, Buckingham Palace and you visited as well. Uh, and, um, having met with,
00:21:37.540
uh, the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, uh, last several months, uh, it's, it's
00:21:42.220
not for sale, won't be for sale, uh, ever. Uh, but the opportunity is in the partnership and, uh, and
00:21:49.020
what we can build together. And we have done that in the past. And part of that, as the president just
00:21:53.280
said is with respect to our own security. Uh, and my government is committed for a step change in
00:22:00.960
our investment in Canadian security and our partnership. And I'll say this as well, uh,
00:22:06.240
that the president has, uh, revitalized, uh, international security, revitalized NATO,
00:22:11.440
uh, and us playing our full weight, uh, in NATO. And that will be part of it.
00:22:23.280
Uh, participation because, uh, uh, Mark knew, you know, they were low and now they're stepping
00:22:28.740
it up and that's a very important thing, but never say never, never say never, never say never.
00:22:36.780
There's something quite exquisite about Mark Carney having to sit there and suck on his teeth.
00:22:41.420
Well, while Trump tells him that Canadian taxes are too high, that your healthcare system is crappy
00:22:47.120
and your military is totally decrepit and in disrepair. And he has to sit there and take it.
00:22:52.420
And just stare at the sky and suck on his teeth.
00:22:57.780
Just bite his tongue. Just bite his tongue. Because Mark Carney is the type of man who is
00:23:02.940
accustomed to being listened to when he says things. And so in that situation, it was extraordinarily
00:23:07.880
uncomfortable for him to listen to Trump say that, but, but, uh, but that he said, Canada is not for
00:23:14.140
sale. Again, you're there to sell our products. You're there to sell our products. So maybe think of a new
00:23:20.680
line. And it's really, it's really interesting what's happening next door in Alberta and in
00:23:25.860
Saskatchewan, the conversations that we're having. Um, I don't think Mark Carney is a hundred percent
00:23:30.660
on, on point with that statement. No, I think that a great, many Westerners are looking for,
00:23:36.420
looking for some, some, uh, some friendly conversations between us and our American neighbors
00:23:44.300
right now. So, uh, I, you could tell that he was carefully coached Mark Carney to not say anything
00:23:50.840
that might engage, uh, JD Vance. I think that he was coached to not do anything that might invite
00:24:01.680
the Zelinsky treatment upon him because it went well until JD Vance had had enough of Zelinsky's
00:24:09.680
baloney. And he was like, you know what? Trump's being nice, but I won't be, I'm going to get
00:24:14.420
involved. And so I think Carney was very carefully coached to just tiptoe around, stick to the same
00:24:23.280
five lines and, and like wrap it up. If that man in on the couch across from you even looks at you
00:24:31.680
wrong, evacuate the room. I think that's what he was told because, uh, you could tell he was real
00:24:38.060
careful there. Yeah. Tread very carefully, Mark Carney. Uh, we've got one more clip, I guess. Uh,
00:24:45.780
they're talking about the tariffs ahead of negotiations with the white house. And then I
00:24:50.840
think that's all the Trump clips we have for now. Okay.
00:24:53.880
Well, we'll be talking about different things. Like, you know, we want to protect our automobile
00:25:04.600
business. And so does Mark. But we want to protect, we want to make the automobiles and we want to,
00:25:11.520
you know, we have a tremendous abundance of energy more than any country. We have, uh, just in Alaska
00:25:17.060
alone. Anwar has been reopened now. Anwar is one probably the largest find anywhere in the world.
00:25:21.560
They say it's larger than Saudi Arabia. I don't know, but it's a lot. But we have, uh, tremendous
00:25:26.700
amounts of energy. Other countries don't. We're both lucky in that way. They have energy. We have
00:25:31.300
energy. We have more than we can ever use and more than we could ever sell actually. And you have the
00:25:36.940
same thing. So we're two countries that are very lucky. If you look at China, they don't have that.
00:25:41.340
You know, it's a big disadvantage. Uh, other countries, most countries don't have, you know,
00:25:45.380
most countries don't have that. So, uh, Canada and us, we have a lot of, uh, a lot of advantages
00:25:51.840
over other places. When you consider what Mr. Carney just said, that Canada is not for sale,
00:25:56.840
does this make the discussion a little more difficult to start on? No, not at all. No,
00:26:01.200
not at all. No, time. Time will tell. It's only time. But I say, never say never. I've had many,
00:26:08.900
many things that were not doable and they ended up being doable and only doable in a very friendly way.
00:26:14.200
But if it, if it's to everybody's benefit, you know, Canada loves us and we love Canada.
00:26:20.220
That's, I think the number one thing that's important, but we'll see. I mean, over time,
00:26:24.980
we'll see what happens. Time is on his side too, by the way. And like, again,
00:26:29.920
Mark Carney's going to just sit there and take it. Uh, and I enjoy every little bit of this.
00:26:34.680
Me too. Ooh, to see him in a hot seat there with that, with that absolute tsunami of press,
00:26:41.280
like what a room to be in. Like, Ooh, that would be uncomfortable for, for Mark Carney or any person
00:26:47.860
visiting, visiting from abroad. Uh, I enjoyed that. I know there are other clips coming in. Some of them
00:26:55.860
are a little long. Uh, maybe we could just show the first little bit. Uh, Olivia, I don't know if you
00:27:01.900
see that maybe, maybe we'll get to it later. Trump basically tells their, they're talking about the
00:27:07.740
tariffs again. And he says, it's just the way it is. And like basically telling Carney, thanks for
00:27:14.060
coming. Thanks for looking at my gold plated home. Um, and my new artwork that I put out on the wall
00:27:20.680
for you to come visit. So I could show off how unimpressed I am by you, but there's nothing
00:27:26.980
really that Canada can do to lift tariffs, uh, against us. And so I'm not sure what everybody's
00:27:33.700
doing there except, uh, Mark Carney subjecting himself to public humiliation, a public humiliation
00:27:41.940
ritual. I wonder if he lifts his elbows. Like, I wonder if he shows his elbows off in that moment.
00:27:46.980
Well, here's my response, sir. Yeah. That's right. Goofy, goofy, goofy man. Just cringy. Uh,
00:27:54.640
okay. Do we have, Oh yes, we do. We have a couple of chats. Oh, Olivia found it. Okay. Let's show just
00:28:01.520
the first little bit of this. Uh, it's almost five minutes long. I know that's too long to show,
00:28:06.120
but hopefully we can get to where Trump says, it's just the way it is. Is my pocket dirty? No,
00:28:12.120
it's just falling off. Okay. It's just old. Okay. Let's watch this.
00:28:27.360
What changes would you like to see to the USMCA? Or what changes would the USMCA mean?
00:28:32.800
We're going to work on some, uh, subtle changes, uh, maybe. I don't even know if we're going to be
00:28:36.940
dealing with the USMCA. We're just, we're dealing more with concepts right now. Look,
00:28:40.500
right now we're doing trade. We have trade with there. They're paying a tariff on cars and steel
00:28:46.360
and aluminum. And I think we have a baseline of 10% or something like that for the tariffs,
00:28:52.020
but we're, we're getting along very well right now going no further, but we have, uh, we have
00:28:59.380
an agreement. We did something with even parts. You want to discuss that, Howard,
00:29:03.840
with respect to Canada, which helps Canada out. Sure. So we've, uh, we've made and arranged
00:29:09.920
with car companies that 15% of their, A, USMCA parts are included. And then 15% of foreign parts
00:29:18.780
from the, uh, the manufactured suggested retail price are not tariff to help domestic manufacturing
00:29:25.560
really thrive. So it gave them a chance to be able to build their car parts, uh, factories,
00:29:32.780
if they're going to, a lot of these companies already have factories and what they have to do
00:29:37.480
is just fill them out, but they're able to build them in the United States. So we gave them a pretty
00:29:42.780
I think, Mr. President, is there anything the prime minister can say to you today to change your mind
00:29:52.480
Tariffing Canada. Is there anything he can say to you in the course of your meetings with him today
00:30:07.080
If Canadians don't want it, would you respect that?
00:30:11.040
Sure, I would. But this is not necessarily a one-day deal. This is over a period of time
00:30:15.780
they have to make that decision. Yes, go ahead.
00:30:18.480
Yeah, if I may. Um, well, I, if, respectfully, Canadians' view on this
00:30:27.260
Secondly, we are the largest client of the United States
00:30:33.820
So we are the largest client in the United States.
00:30:35.900
We have a tremendous auto sector between the two of us
00:30:41.900
You know, 50% of a car that comes from Canada is American.
00:30:56.100
And this will take some time and some discussions.
00:30:58.920
And that's why we're here, to have those discussions.
00:31:01.300
And that is represented by who's sitting around the table.
00:31:04.940
See, the conflict is, and this is very friendly.
00:31:09.640
This is not going to be like we had another little blow up
00:31:26.100
And at a certain point, it won't make economic sense for Canada to build those cars.
00:31:31.560
And we don't want steel from Canada because we're making our own steel
00:31:34.800
and we're having massive steel plants being built right now as we speak.
00:31:38.740
We really don't want Canadian steel and we don't want Canadian aluminum
00:31:43.040
and various other things because we want to be able to do it ourselves.
00:31:46.380
And because of, you know, past thinking of people, we have a tremendous deficit with Canada.
00:31:56.680
And there's no reason for us to be subsidizing Canada.
00:32:00.900
Canada is a place that will have to be able to take care of itself economically.
00:32:09.300
I will tell you that Trudeau, when I spoke to him, I used to call him Governor Trudeau.
00:32:14.340
I think that probably didn't help his election.
00:32:16.380
But when I spoke to him, I said, so why are we taking your cars?
00:32:20.940
Why are we taking your – we want to make them ourselves.
00:32:23.300
I mean, I said, and if the price of your cars went up or if we put a tariff,
00:32:29.640
if we put a tariff on your cars of 25 percent, what would that mean to you?
00:32:38.900
And I said, that's a strange answer, but I understand his answer.
00:32:44.220
But no, I mean, it's hard to justify subsidizing Canada to the tune of maybe $200 billion a year.
00:32:53.740
We protect Canada militarily, and we always will.
00:32:57.020
We're going to – you know, that's not a money thing.
00:33:03.180
But why are we subsidizing Canada $200 billion a year or whatever the number might be?
00:33:10.300
And it's hard for the American taxpayer to say, gee whiz, we love doing that.
00:33:24.920
They didn't even give him a word to get in edgewise.
00:33:28.660
The journalist starts screaming, and Trump is like, okay, and that's it.
00:33:33.900
Janie Vance just laughing the whole way through.
00:33:40.680
But what's really interesting in this is that they – you know, Trump talks about tariffing cars and steel and aluminum.
00:33:52.120
And this is thanks to Doug Ford's antagonistic and absolutely tone-deaf response in the run-up to the federal election that the people of Ontario are being punished for Doug Ford's bad moves.
00:34:07.360
And I think increasingly, more and more every day, Ontario – the people of Ontario are realizing just what a huge mistake that was to put a bloviating, you know, grandstand in Doug Ford in front of cameras to crap-talk the United States when Ontario workers very, very much need to be in the good graces of the administration of the United States right now.
00:34:30.740
Yeah, and as I said to David the other day, Windsor, at least portions of it went blue.
00:34:36.660
So the people affected by the auto tariffs actually thought that the conservatives were the right ones to help them get around it.
00:34:46.200
For all those people who voted for Carney because they thought that he was the right man to fight Trump, he couldn't even get a word in edgewise.
00:35:15.500
I've got a couple of chats to read and then we'll take an ad break, I guess, a Rebel News ad break.
00:35:27.620
Gives us 10 bucks and says, I watched the Trump-Carny meeting.
00:35:31.040
Carney just sat there smiling like an idiot as Trump called him down.
00:35:37.440
Claims he doesn't need anything from Canada and how Trump intends to ruin our economy.
00:35:42.600
They wouldn't – they didn't even respect Carney enough to allow him to respond to what Trump had just said.
00:35:50.940
That's what the administration thinks of Carney.
00:35:55.080
This is – this is – it's for – it's for – oh, what is the word I'm searching for?
00:36:03.680
It's just smoke and mirrors to show that they're – okay, well, he wanted to come.
00:36:10.960
It doesn't matter what this weekly from Canada says.
00:36:19.600
And it might be pity where he's like, and respectfully, your military sucks, your taxes are too high, and people are dying in your hospitals.
00:36:29.140
Respectfully, you know, there's – respectfully, there's nothing that you can do to stop what we are doing to your economy.
00:36:38.020
And even when Carney says, oh, Canada's not for sale, Trump doesn't even respect – time will tell.
00:36:48.600
And we're – yeah, and while Carney is saying Canada is not for sale, Trump is also telling him that they don't need our lumber.
00:37:04.340
Like, what are you trying to – what's your flex here?
00:37:06.520
And get – the truth is, Canada doesn't have a flex here.
00:37:12.400
The West does because we have all the oil and the energy.
00:37:19.980
We have – yeah, we have – yeah, the West has everything the United States wants.
00:37:24.800
Ontario, well, looks like you guys just decimated your own industries out there in Ontario.
00:37:33.980
Canada is not for sale, but would you mind buying our cars?
00:37:42.820
P. Schofield, 10 bucks, says, ladies, your facial expressions are priceless.
00:37:56.060
Canada voted for a clown, and the world sees us as a circus.
00:38:06.700
You just got somebody sucking up to Trump and Trump being – treating him as like the pathetic
00:38:16.660
You know, we respect – if he were picking on Cardi, it would feel like bullying almost.
00:38:28.760
He's very aware of how that can come across when you have this broken man who holds actually
00:38:35.040
no power in the economic relationship to really just pick on him in front of everybody.
00:38:41.660
It makes you look better when you're like, oh, respectfully, we don't need any of your
00:38:47.180
And we are going to take you over, and it takes time.
00:38:49.420
Yep, but even the way that Cardi said, you know, Canadians do not want to become the 51st
00:38:57.040
Well, we got two provinces out west that are kind of saying, maybe, yeah, we do.
00:39:02.060
So Cardi is being disingenuous because he – like Trump doesn't see Saskatchewan and Alberta
00:39:07.940
right now all gathering around going, okay, what does our future look like?
00:39:19.420
And he – I guess technically, thanks to voters in the eastern part of this country,
00:39:26.200
But you can tell that's a regional stranglehold on power.
00:39:33.800
Liberals over there, conservatives over here, and then whatever's left of the NDP, they can
00:39:40.480
get in a vehicle with third-row seating at this point.
00:39:43.020
And they seem to all be fighting with each other right now.
00:39:53.320
When all of those oppression groups, like, all just collide.
00:39:57.500
It reminds me of the standoff between the pro-Hamas people and the pride people on that street
00:40:03.440
And I was like, I'm just going to stand back here and cheer for mutually assured destruction.
00:40:17.620
I'm in Ontario, and I'm thinking of moving out west next year.
00:40:21.020
Is Scott Moe planning to – on doing a separation referendum?
00:40:26.140
Sheila, what are the cheap areas to buy a house in Alberta?
00:40:30.460
Get on realtor.ca, and you in Ontario will die when it comes to housing prices in Saskatchewan
00:40:38.860
Like, honestly, you can sell your two-bedroom bungalow in Ontario and move into a mansion
00:40:48.680
I would be happy, so happy to have you as my neighbour.
00:40:52.580
But I'm so happy you asked about Scott Moe as well.
00:40:55.040
So, in Saskatchewan, the conversation is being driven by the woke radical left, and they
00:41:02.940
They are insisting that Saskatchewan should be prohibited from even talking about this.
00:41:08.340
Like Carla Beck, leader of the Saskatchewan NDP, has gone right off her rocker, right
00:41:13.160
off the deep end on this issue, saying she wants Scott Moe to guarantee that there will
00:41:18.680
be no talk, no debate, no votes, no referendum, no nothing.
00:41:22.600
And I'm thinking to myself, what in the communist China level of bull crappery are we dealing
00:41:30.600
This is a woman that is so frightened, the big orange man next door.
00:41:34.520
However, the people of Saskatchewan, okay, we are not as bargy and largey and big and
00:41:42.480
Alberta comes in swinging, okay, every single time.
00:41:46.280
Saskatchewan people are more sort of reticent about things like this, but don't think for
00:41:54.380
one second that there isn't a boiling hot rage right under the surface, and we are going
00:42:00.380
to be talking about this in Saskatchewan at length.
00:42:03.700
Because public venue polls, which came out two weeks ago, shows that separatist or sovereignty,
00:42:10.260
Saskatchewan sovereignty is highest in Saskatchewan, we're even higher than Quebec, and we're
00:42:19.520
Scott Moe says he wouldn't stop a referendum, but he stopped short of doing what Alberta
00:42:25.720
did and Danielle Smith did next door in lowering the bar for referendum.
00:42:29.860
Like it's still a very high bar in Saskatchewan.
00:42:32.880
So, well, the people of Saskatchewan may need to put pressure on the government of Saskatchewan
00:42:39.260
Yeah, because this is such a burning question here right now.
00:42:41.660
Thanks so much for asking it and allowing me to talk about it, because obviously you can
00:42:52.600
Kathy Shadle, rest her soul, she and I used to have this ongoing email thread where she would
00:43:00.460
just send me the cost of a ramshackle garden shed in Toronto.
00:43:05.240
And it was just like, what can you get for this and this price point in Toronto, and I would
00:43:13.480
And it was like, here's your McMansion on a lake for your haunted garden shed in Toronto,
00:43:28.160
I don't know how anybody gets ahead in Toronto.
00:43:30.320
You can buy a beautiful house in Saskatchewan, like a drop dead beautiful home in Saskatchewan,
00:43:37.020
for the same price as Justin Trudeau used to spend on food on his international trips.
00:43:44.820
Like, good natured people of Ontario and Quebec and Eastern Canada, come now, come west.
00:43:54.060
We just invite all of you guys to join us out here in the west.
00:43:58.500
Yeah, but leave your voting habits behind unless your voting habits vote for smaller
00:44:16.440
But if you are freedom minded and if you are prosperity driven and you want to have a successful,
00:44:22.380
awesome life that costs you so much less, come to Saskatchewan, come to Alberta.
00:44:29.300
This is, you know, we should, we should, somebody should put us in charge.
00:44:32.860
Somebody, Sheila, should put us in charge of luring the good natured Eastern Canadians out
00:44:49.200
I remember when I was a youngster and Saskatchewan was living through the dark days of Romano
00:44:58.900
It was a joke, but it was also true in a lot of places where 50% of the people in Alberta
00:45:08.280
Everybody from Alberta was at some point from Saskatchewan.
00:45:12.720
And it's either, it's either a grandpa was from there or my dad was from there or, you
00:45:16.860
know, everybody in Alberta identifies as a secondhand Sasky.
00:45:23.280
And, and, and to be honest, in my graduating class, like in our group of eight, eight close
00:45:28.940
friends, seven of them moved to Alberta and this was in the mid 1990s.
00:45:33.640
So, so, but we're, we're happy to reclaim them.
00:45:43.800
Carney says Canada is not for sale because he wants to sell it to the CCP and the WEF.
00:45:53.120
I want to know your response to Carney saying he talked to the owners of Canada.
00:45:59.480
King Chucky is a figurehead and doesn't own Canada.
00:46:02.000
I think he said, I talked to the people, like the people, we own it.
00:46:07.840
Well, if we own it, then, then, then, then you better start admitting that Alberta, Alberta
00:46:15.300
And then we should be having this conversation.
00:46:17.260
Like if you're talking about ownership in a place.
00:46:21.720
If the people own it, then the people get to decide, I guess.
00:46:28.860
Should Alberta and Saskatchewan decide to leave Confederation?
00:46:31.200
Don't be surprised to see a one for one Canadian to USD offer for citizens for those two provinces
00:46:39.080
I mean, I talked about this with David yesterday.
00:46:42.520
There have been no more overtures from the Americans to the separatists, except to say
00:46:53.120
You're beautiful, which is a nice thing to hear after being told that we're fringe radical
00:46:58.280
extremists and should we even make space for them in society?
00:47:06.140
And it is like at one in three Westerners are like, yeah, we could leave if we thought
00:47:13.500
Now, why don't you come in and have the Americans saying you're about to be 30 to 50% richer?
00:47:20.560
Oh, I was so happy to see this comment because overwhelmingly in, well, public and private
00:47:30.340
conversations that are happening in Saskatchewan, this would be the finisher.
00:47:34.280
This would be what people would need to hear and be guaranteed.
00:47:38.380
If it were one for one asset transfer from Canadian to American, you would see those numbers
00:47:50.760
We got 30% hovering over 30% in Saskatchewan, around 30% in Alberta that are looking with no,
00:47:57.360
with absolutely no guarantees and no confidence at all.
00:48:00.320
Just we would rather invite, we would rather invite independence and deal with whatever comes
00:48:08.400
of that rather than live under the tyrannical rule of, of the existing government of Canada
00:48:14.960
But you put, you put an offer on the table of one-to-one asset transfer to American dollars
00:48:24.920
So, you know, my favorite, by favorite, I mean, least favorite criticism from the people
00:48:33.400
telling the separatists and the sovereigntists to shut up from Eastern Canada is, oh, it's
00:48:46.640
My family broke with their backs and their hands in 1903.
00:48:50.940
We tamed, as Westerners, a harsh and forbidding land with nothing.
00:49:01.020
Like so many of the Eastern Europeans just literally came here with the clothes on their
00:49:05.920
back and looked for a homestead stake in the ground and said, okay, I guess that's where
00:49:10.500
we're going to live in a house made of grass through our first winter, sawed house, through
00:49:17.880
our first winter where it routinely gets to minus 40 with nothing.
00:49:22.980
And so for people who are saying it's too complicated, it's too hard, it'll be too tough.
00:49:29.580
Forget who you're, do you forget who you're talking to and what we did here?
00:49:37.400
So, yes, you are, you are talking to people who are the most rugged and resilient on planet
00:49:44.540
It wasn't nothing to arrive in this place that had nothing, absolutely nothing.
00:49:50.520
And to make a go of it and to not only, not only make a go of it, but to have children,
00:49:54.860
to raise families, to tame the absolute wild prairie.
00:49:59.800
We, we took oil that was leaking out of the side of a riverbed and turned it into the economic
00:50:12.300
You know, it's something that our Americans, something that the Americans are reliant on
00:50:22.580
You think that we're, we're afraid of a little negotiation, a little negotiation.
00:50:28.500
Our family, our family, our family, our family lived in a soft house continuously for 60 years.
00:50:35.440
No power, no running water, no indoor plumbing, 60 years.
00:50:39.340
You don't think that we would be okay doing a little heavy lifting with negotiating?
00:50:46.800
Every time I see somebody say, say something like that, I'm like, ah, you're lazy.
00:51:09.080
These are people that haven't seen a day of hard labor in their entire lives, but no,
00:51:15.860
And, and again, I take no position, but I feel, I will tell you, Albertans have been
00:51:22.240
getting a raw deal and they are going to decide their future and nobody else.
00:51:33.820
We got, uh, Premier Smith making a huge announcement yesterday.
00:51:43.780
So, uh, I think is probably exactly where she should have been on this issue.
00:51:48.300
And she warned of the Doug Fords and the Warren Kinsella's of the world.
00:51:58.620
And that is why we at Rebel News have teamed up with MCGA hats to introduce, well, the fashion
00:52:10.960
Oh, and by the way, these beautiful hats, they are made in Canada.
00:52:16.200
We don't rely on cheap imports coming over from China.
00:52:24.600
This is the perfect thing for a patriot to wear.
00:52:27.740
Or maybe there's a patriot in your life that you would like to gift such a hat.
00:52:44.720
Let everybody know you want to make Canada great again.
00:52:49.540
What if governments are trying to reinvent the wheel when the greatest teacher of all
00:52:55.260
times has already laid out the perfect blueprint for a constitution for a kingdom of love, faith,

00:53:46.740
Okay, let's get into Premier Smith's announcement yesterday.
00:53:52.020
She basically made a list of demands to the feds, one of which is fair treatment with
00:54:00.980
equalization, and she lays out how bad their bad policies have been for Alberta, and then
00:54:08.040
she sort of, she has to talk about separatism and sovereignty, and she said, anyways, we'll
00:54:14.180
get to what she said about that, but basically she says, these people do not treat the separatists,
00:54:20.200
even though she says she isn't one, like they are bad Albertans or disloyal, because they
00:54:28.300
are loyal Albertans, but also she says to don't treat the other side the other way if
00:54:32.260
they feel through some sort of misplaced nostalgia, and that's my words, not hers, that there's
00:54:38.020
still something in this country worth fighting for.
00:54:41.760
They are not disloyal Albertans either, and to not allow outside forces to sow division amongst
00:54:47.980
So anyways, let's talk about the Liberals scaring away global investments from the West.
00:54:54.760
For the last 10 years, successive Liberal governments in Ottawa, supported by their
00:55:01.060
new Democrat allies, have unleashed a tidal wave of laws, policies, and political attacks
00:55:06.920
aimed directly at Alberta's free economy, and in effect, against the future and livelihoods
00:55:13.280
They have blocked new pipelines with C-69, cancelled multiple oil and gas projects, and
00:55:20.120
banned the very tanker ships needed to carry those resources to new markets.
00:55:24.760
They have stacked an oil and gas production cap on top of a crippling industrial carbon
00:55:29.620
tax, making new energy and agricultural projects economically impossible to pursue without massive
00:55:36.300
subsidies from governments, which Ottawa has failed to provide and which our taxpayers cannot
00:55:42.720
This onslaught of anti-energy, anti-agriculture, and anti-resource development policies have scared
00:55:48.600
away global investments to the tune of a half a trillion dollars, driving those investments
00:55:54.240
and jobs out of Alberta and Canada to much more attractive investment climates in the United
00:56:02.200
Having traveled much of the world these past few years, it is evident that Canada is not viewed
00:56:07.140
as an attractive place to invest in resource development, manufacturing, or agriculture because
00:56:12.900
of our high carbon taxes, endless red tape, and the uncertainty and chaos brought about
00:56:18.980
by these and other federal government policies.
00:56:30.260
You see the CBC panelists today saying, you know, it's going to cost over a million dollars
00:56:35.620
to run the by-election and Damien Keurig's riding, and it's like, excuse me?
00:56:40.680
We vaporized a half a trillion dollars, and it cost $10,000 for Alberta's premier to go
00:56:49.920
to Mar-a-Lago, and it's like, yeah, that's why we only have a 10% tariff, so I feel like
00:56:54.420
that was a good return on investment, thank you very much, that all of a sudden they become
00:57:03.660
Yeah, let's not forget that the CBC just got an infusion of $150 million just to keep
00:57:11.020
the lights on, and now they're pointing out every $10,000 ding to the taxpayer.
00:57:18.360
I mean, the duplicity that is happening at the CBC, the disconnect that's happening at
00:57:27.680
But I do, I think that, again, Danielle Smith knocked it out of the park, just being so
00:57:34.260
temperate, and, like, whoever her speechwriter is, like, give them a raise.
00:57:42.760
They're going to teach this communication strategy in political science courses, I think, from
00:57:49.780
It's absolutely brilliant, and I think that that's one thing that the government of
00:57:53.700
Saskatchewan is not doing as good a job on, is they're not coming out on side and giving
00:58:00.480
the people of Saskatchewan a voice the way Alberta is.
00:58:04.560
They're not advocating on behalf of Saskatchewan the way that Danielle Smith is, and I wish that
00:58:09.260
they would take a cue from what is happening in Alberta and do it the exact same for Saskatchewan.
00:58:17.120
Everything that Alberta and Danielle Smith said in that piece is also true for Saskatchewan.
00:58:23.700
This is a federal government that is bent on destroying the West, bent on destroying
00:58:29.700
our economic drivers and our way of life, and I really wish that Premier Scott Moe and
00:58:35.640
the government of Saskatchewan would be noisier about this instead of letting our gross opposition
00:58:41.960
drive the narrative the way that they have been.
00:58:45.620
Next clip, Alberta will be taking steps to protect itself from the federal government.
00:58:51.040
It's crazy to hear a province basically have to issue a restraining order against the
00:58:59.440
We have fought these attacks from Ottawa furiously and have won some important battles, but the
00:59:04.880
lost opportunities, jobs and futures of so many Albertans are costly and demoralizing, as
00:59:11.780
are the growing number of Eastern politicians who choose to openly demonize and target Alberta
00:59:17.860
That is why a large majority of Albertans are so deeply frustrated with the results of last
00:59:26.020
It's not that our preferred candidate and party lost.
00:59:30.520
It's that the same Liberal government with almost all the same ministers responsible for our nation's
00:59:35.440
inflation, housing, crime and budget crisis, and that oversaw the attack on our provincial
00:59:40.980
economy for the past 10 years have been returned to power.
00:59:50.540
And I will say that in my first conversation with him since the election, he had some promising
00:59:54.960
things to say about changing the direction of his government's anti-resource policies.
01:00:00.020
However, Albertans are more of an actions speak louder than words kind of people.
01:00:04.440
So while I will, in good faith, work with Prime Minister Mark Carney on unwinding the mountain
01:00:09.980
of destructive legislation and policies that have ravaged our provincial and national economies
01:00:15.420
this past decade, until I see tangible proof of real change, Alberta will be taking steps
01:00:31.720
I mean, for anybody who's saying that this is just Albertans having a tantrum because
01:00:37.000
their guy didn't win, that's not even close what this is about.
01:00:42.040
This is about, and she's doing her best to try to make the rest of the country understand
01:00:47.940
what it's like to be in Alberta when we just want to be allowed to work and do what's best.
01:00:55.420
And you have the overreach of the feds telling us, no, no, no, you just cannot.
01:01:00.140
No, we know better than, we know better than you.
01:01:09.440
You have to be committed to our crazy green net zero sustainability goals.
01:01:14.140
And when those crazy green net zero sustainability goals are in direct conflict with the industries
01:01:22.840
that make us all the money, that give us our quality of life here, what she's trying to
01:01:28.280
do is communicate in a really, I think, beautiful way that the frustration that Albertans and
01:01:35.420
more largely Western Canadians are feeling is that people in the East knew the damage that
01:01:43.820
you're doing to us in the West and you reelected them anyway.
01:01:47.480
So this is the natural consequence of that election result.
01:01:53.580
I mean, you can't hold us in contempt for wanting better, for wanting better for our own selves
01:01:59.760
after the decade of decimation that we've suffered through under the hands of the federal government.
01:02:09.460
She said, we aren't asking for special treatment or even handouts from the feds.
01:02:17.040
That's the Alberta mentality, the Western mentality right there.
01:02:20.880
Albertans have always been loyal, proud, and generous Canadians.
01:02:31.820
We've opened our doors wide for millions of our fellow Canadians searching for opportunity,
01:02:37.260
many of whom stay and become Albertan and many who return home to their native province.
01:02:45.340
We don't ask for special treatment or handouts.
01:02:48.080
We just want to be free, free to develop and export that incredible wealth of resources
01:02:53.260
we have for the benefit of our families and future generations, free to pursue opportunities
01:02:59.360
with the ideals of entrepreneurship, hard work, and innovation that have become synonymous
01:03:05.200
with the name of our province, freedom to choose how best to provide health care, education,
01:03:11.040
and other needed social services to our people, even if it's done differently than what Ottawa
01:03:16.900
Strong and free is more than just our provincial motto.
01:03:21.540
It represents who we are and how we want to live as a people.
01:03:25.800
And that is why Albertans are so frustrated with the direction of our country.
01:03:29.680
All we want is a little bit of freedom to decide for ourselves what's best.
01:03:37.460
We're tired of having the elites from the East declare from on high what they think we need
01:03:50.380
We are different than the rest of this country.
01:04:08.220
You know, that's such a good point, Sheila, because what it is, is the federal government
01:04:16.700
forcing us into a cookie cutter that we will never, ever fit into.
01:04:23.280
We have a distinct society in Western Canada that is completely and totally different from
01:04:32.340
And maybe this, you know, it comes down to Western Canadians being punished for our geography.
01:04:39.100
Saskatchewan and Alberta are the only provinces that don't have access to ports of some kind.
01:04:44.820
We are landlocked provinces and we are being punished for our geography, our unique culture
01:04:51.160
And this is Danielle Smith saying, uh, we want to, we want to chart our own path and
01:04:55.800
we want to be in charge of our own destiny here.
01:04:58.060
And that's not too much to ask for because it's not.
01:05:04.960
Again, and we are in a different situation than Quebec in that we are not net takers.
01:05:11.360
Not only are we not net takers, we also don't want to tell the rest of the country what to
01:05:16.000
We want everybody to do their thing, including us.
01:05:20.900
Whereas Quebec, they're net takers within Confederation and they want to tell us what
01:05:32.600
And it's becoming more and more obvious the disparity between the treatment of Quebec and
01:05:40.180
Canadians and, uh, this is all, I mean, listen, it'll all come out in the wash.
01:05:46.540
But, but Western Canadians are going to have to think long and hard about what they want
01:05:51.860
And after 120 years of servitude, servitude, uh, to, to the Eastern elites, I think that
01:05:58.900
we're, we're coming to a pressure point real quick.
01:06:07.820
So I know that she is limited by what she can do within Confederation, but we're having
01:06:14.220
It's called the Alberta next panel, which will bring together experts in law, economics and
01:06:19.460
academia to discuss the future of the province during a series of town halls with the premier.
01:06:26.780
She's going to be there to answer questions and take the heat too.
01:06:29.620
So it's not like she's offloading this mess onto somebody else.
01:06:35.240
She's right in the thick of it because she's the leader, right?
01:06:39.800
Like this is a, a unity crisis and someone's, I mean, someone's supposed to shepherd the province
01:06:48.240
And since she's the premier, who else is it supposed to be?
01:06:51.560
But you very rarely see premiers even remotely involved in whatever panel they've convened
01:07:00.680
Our government will appoint and I will chair the Alberta next panel.
01:07:05.160
This panel will be composed of some of our best and brightest judicial academic and economic
01:07:10.220
minds to join with me in a series of in-person and online town halls to discuss Alberta's future
01:07:16.880
And specifically what next steps we can take as a province to better protect Alberta from
01:07:22.860
any current or future hostile policies of the federal government.
01:07:26.940
Details of the membership and scope of that panel will be released in the coming weeks.
01:07:32.540
After the work of the panel is finished, it is likely we will place some of the more popular
01:07:37.280
ideas discussed with the panel to a provincial referendum so that all Albertans can vote on
01:07:47.480
To be clear from the outset, our government will not be putting a vote on separation from
01:07:54.540
However, if there is a successful citizen-led referendum petition that is able to gather the
01:08:00.200
requisite number of signatures requesting such a question to be put on a referendum, our
01:08:06.360
government will respect the democratic process and include that question on the 2026 provincial
01:08:16.240
She just put an expiration date on how fast the government of Canada can respond to her
01:08:24.680
And what Danielle Smith possibly does better than any premier since Ralph Klein is actively
01:08:36.840
So when she's chairing this panel, she is going to be actively listening to the people of Alberta.
01:08:45.160
She is going to be distilling what they say and taking notes.
01:08:49.980
And I wish Scott, again, I wish Scott Moe in Saskatchewan would actively listen to the
01:08:57.820
We're suffering from a little bit of a break in the feedback loop in the province of Saskatchewan
01:09:03.020
right now, where when the citizens of Saskatchewan speak loud and clear about issues, it's like
01:09:08.980
our government just puts on headphones and chooses not to listen to us.
01:09:12.440
This is a masterclass in how to deal with the population in your province.
01:09:18.960
And she's doing a really excellent job at threading the needle.
01:09:23.020
So I mean, people at home, do you really think a federalist premier who is part of a party
01:09:31.520
that is a federalist party, even though they're provincial, they are not like the bloc.
01:09:37.960
They are not like the PQ, which are explicitly separatist parties.
01:09:41.740
Do you really expect her to put separatism on the ballot?
01:09:50.660
And if that is what you want to do, she is going to honor those wishes.
01:09:54.880
She's saying we're not going to run two referendums if we don't have to.
01:09:58.340
We'll put your issue on our ballot, too, so that everybody can vote on what they need in
01:10:05.980
And for people who are saying she's not going to let us vote this year, it's already May.
01:10:14.900
The worst thing that could possibly happen for Western Canadians, and this is where I caution
01:10:20.780
us to be to be real careful about this, is putting it to a ballot too early and losing.
01:10:26.640
Because if we put it to a referendum and lose the referendum, then we take away any negotiation
01:10:34.400
that we could or, you know, ups in the negotiation with the government of Canada.
01:10:40.760
Where we're at right now is threatening to leave.
01:10:44.380
And that should be enough to put the fear of God in the Eastern elites in Ottawa.
01:10:49.580
But the worst thing that we could do in Alberta or in Saskatchewan is to rush through this and lose.
01:11:03.380
And right now it feels a little bit unorganized and a little bit nebulous.
01:11:09.060
2026, I mean, that gives a year for the people of Alberta to get their ducks.
01:11:14.380
And I would argue the same thing should happen in Saskatchewan.
01:11:21.200
You don't want to hold a referendum until you've done an education campaign.
01:11:24.360
Because people are right now saying, what about the First Nations?
01:11:31.460
Well, the First Nations will be treated better than they have ever been treated by the government of Canada at the end.
01:11:38.600
As part of the Clarity Act, First Nations must negotiate.
01:11:46.800
So no part, if a referendum is called on separation, no party may bow out of the negotiations.
01:11:56.740
Not the federal government, not the provincial government, not First Nations.
01:12:02.500
And there is an opportunity here for First Nations of Western Canada to strike so much, I mean, so much better of a deal.
01:12:12.100
They would be treated better than the federal government has ever treated them, ever.
01:12:21.820
Because people are going to say, what are you going to do about the RCMP?
01:12:24.440
And what are you going to do about the military?
01:12:31.980
What are you going to do about the First Nations?
01:12:33.600
So you have to, people are going to come with actual reasonable concerns.
01:12:39.080
And the go side has to be able to answer those.
01:12:43.400
And you need to make sure that all the objections, if you are on the go side, are answerable reasonably.
01:12:52.840
And I think if you rush, this is my advice, if you rush to this, you will end this for a generation.
01:13:02.260
Like with a great deal of prudence in this moment and careful consideration.
01:13:07.140
But then, on the other hand, if Western Canadians weren't paying GST, if we weren't paying carbon tax, if we weren't paying federal income tax, if we weren't paying the multitudes of taxes that we pay to Ontario, we would be in such a strong economic position to be able to provide the people of Western Canada with the services that the federal government should be and only provide to Quebec in certain areas of Ontario.
01:13:36.920
So all of these things are very, very exciting.
01:13:40.160
But yes, this is not something a referendum should not be rushed into.
01:13:47.980
That gives everybody a chance to get all of their questions answered and asked.
01:13:54.920
And that's what Danielle Smith is offering here, is an opportunity to ask the questions.
01:14:01.980
We are way over time, but there's a couple of things I want to get to, including our daily dose of cringe,
01:14:07.680
I had two other selections on the ballot, including an MLA in BC saying we need to change the funeral regulations so that people can be composted.
01:14:20.140
But I found Alexa brings another one to the table to us, so we'll get to that one.
01:14:27.840
I haven't seen it yet, but Efron assures me it's gold, and on these topics.
01:14:33.420
So Premier Smith, next clip, addressing the growing separatist movement in Alberta in her speech to us last night.
01:14:41.020
And she warns of the Doug Fords of the world, and then Doug Ford ran his mouth the very next morning.
01:14:50.060
So this is Premier Smith doing exactly what a leader should do.
01:14:58.320
Any citizen-initiated referendum question must not violate the constitutional rights of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples,
01:15:06.640
and must uphold and honour treaties 6, 7, and 8, should any referendum question ever pass.
01:15:15.420
Now let's talk about the elephant in the room, that being separation.
01:15:20.420
We are well aware that there is a large and growing number of Albertans that have lost hope in Alberta having a free and prosperous future as a part of Canada.
01:15:30.840
Many of these Albertans are organising petitions to trigger a citizen-initiated referendum, as I mentioned earlier.
01:15:37.160
The vast majority of these individuals are not fringe voices to be marginalised or vilified.
01:15:44.500
They are quite literally our friends and neighbours who've just had enough of having their livelihoods and prosperity attacked by a hostile federal government.
01:15:55.080
They're frustrated, and they have every reason to be.
01:15:58.200
None of us knows what the future holds should Ottawa, for whatever reason, continue to attack our province, as they have done over the last decade.
01:16:05.520
Ultimately, that will be for Albertans to decide, and I will accept their judgment, but I am going to do everything within my power to negotiate a fair deal for Alberta with the new Prime Minister.
01:16:17.780
And while doing so, our government will work with Albertans on various initiatives to better protect Alberta's provincial sovereignty and economy from Ottawa, should those negotiations fail and the economic attacks continue.
01:16:32.700
Alberta didn't start this fight, but rest assured, we will finish it and come out of it stronger and more prosperous than ever.
01:16:39.860
In closing, I want Albertans to know how important it will be in the coming months for our province to be steadfast, unified, and to refrain from heeding the voices of those seeking to divide Albertans against one another.
01:16:53.500
There will be many outside, and even inside this province, who will try and sow fear and anger among us.
01:17:01.120
They will seek to divide us into different camps for the purposes of marginalizing and vilifying one another based on differing opinions, effectively pitting neighbor against neighbor and Albertan against Albertan.
01:17:13.780
This is not the Alberta way. It's not who we are, and it's not who I am.
01:17:18.200
There are thousands of Albertans who are so frustrated with the last 10 years of Ottawa's attacks on their friends' and family's livelihoods that they feel Alberta would be stronger and more prosperous as an independent nation.
01:17:30.880
That is an understandable and justifiable feeling to have, even if we disagree on what to do about it.
01:17:37.340
These Albertans are not traitors, nor should they ever be treated as such.
01:17:41.040
They just love their province and family and want a better future than the one Ottawa is offering them right now.
01:17:47.180
There are also thousands of Albertans that are so attached and loyal to their identity as Canadians that there is nothing Ottawa has done to our province that would justify Alberta leaving Canada.
01:17:58.700
It's not that they think everything is perfect or that we've been treated fairly.
01:18:03.080
They just believe being part of Canada, despite those problems, has much more value than leaving.
01:18:08.420
These individuals are also loyal Albertans and should never be accused of being anything less.
01:18:13.560
And then there are hundreds of thousands of Albertans that probably feel a lot like I do, that are deeply frustrated with the way our province has been mistreated and damaged by successive federal liberal governments and are not willing to tolerate the status quo any longer.
01:18:31.920
But these Albertans still believe there is a viable path to a strong, free and sovereign Alberta empowered to succeed and prosper within a united Canada.
01:18:43.040
A Canada where the federal government actually honours the constitution, upholds provincial rights and empowers provinces to pursue their unique potentials as their people so choose.
01:18:54.160
Regardless of what each of us believes about this issue or what path we think is best, we as Albertans must be able to respectfully debate and discuss these issues with our friends, family members and neighbours.
01:19:07.300
I know that if we do that, in the end, our province will find the best solution for this immense challenge we face and come out of it stronger and more free than ever.
01:19:18.840
I'll always put my faith in Albertans to find the right path.
01:19:23.680
May our beautiful Alberta always remain forever strong and free.
01:19:33.540
She couldn't have said that any better if she tried to point out that there's a certain segment of Albertans who are understandably and justifiably done with what's happened in Canada.
01:19:47.920
To point out that there is a great number of Albertans who first identify as Canadian and then Albertan to say that there are people who are going to be all over the spectrum.
01:19:57.820
But that we must be good neighbours and to talk it out, to decide what's best for Alberta.
01:20:10.660
I mean, she laid out that there are three camps.
01:20:12.840
People who are done, people who are still going to try, which is her, and people who, no matter what, no matter what the feds will do, they are attached to their Canadian identity.
01:20:22.500
And that's OK, because we all formed the fabric of Alberta.
01:20:25.620
And she was right to point out that there will be people from outside who are trying to sow division amongst us and to paint some of us as extremists.
01:20:41.600
You know, and that exactly was a shot at Jason Kenney, who is basically saying those people are fringe radicals.
01:20:51.420
In fact, they were probably members of Jason Kenney's base when he got elected first to premier.
01:20:58.880
And also, that is a masterclass in communications that we never heard from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
01:21:06.940
She called for unity over division, to not marginalize people who share different opinions, to encourage civil discourse amongst us to get through our shared problems.
01:21:17.720
You can tell she's trying to be a premier for all of us instead of just some of us.
01:21:25.440
While at the same time, putting an expiration date on how far her, how far she's, how much leash she's willing to give the federal government.
01:21:37.520
What she's giving the federal government is a set of demands and requests from the people of Alberta.
01:21:43.880
And literally telling them, if you don't show up in this moment, you better expect some hard feedback and some hard decisions from the people of Alberta.
01:21:53.260
And that's exactly what she, what she should have done.
01:21:56.320
Again, I wish that we would have done the same thing in Saskatchewan.
01:22:00.180
Given the federal government, our list of demands, given them, I wouldn't have even given them, you know, a year, Sheila.
01:22:06.480
I wouldn't have even given, I would have given them 10 days to comply or else.
01:22:10.220
But she's being extraordinarily careful in this moment, as she should be, and, and putting all of the, all of the cards in the hands of the people of Alberta.
01:22:20.180
It's clear that she has a great deal of love and respect for the people of Alberta, and she trusts them to make the right decision on their own behalf.
01:22:29.460
So just, just beautifully done, Danielle Smith.
01:22:33.740
Now, speaking of the horrible interlopers trying to sow division from without the province, we've got Doug Ford, who is apparently angry at Danielle Smith for saying, this is our future.
01:22:47.420
We're going to decide it together, and we're not going to hate each other at the end of the day for it.
01:22:52.880
Apparently, that's an objectionable opinion for a leader to have.
01:22:57.180
Yeah, yeah, this, this would be the same for Carla Beck in Saskatchewan, too, NDP leader Carla Beck.
01:23:02.260
Yeah, let's hear from Dr. Cheesecake, Doug Ford.
01:23:07.560
I forget about political stripes, by, by the way.
01:23:10.960
We have a prime minister down there, and he's going to be sitting down, and he's going to give it everything he can.
01:23:16.920
This is a time to unite the country, not people saying, oh, I'm leaving the country, or I'm doing this.
01:23:35.580
Now is, now is not the time for you to be preaching about, is, about national unity after backing up a government in the federal election that did its level best to destroy our way of life in the West.
01:23:51.640
What Doug Ford is saying there is that he doesn't trust the people of Alberta or Saskatchewan to be able to be smart enough to make decisions that are going to benefit them or work out in their own best interest.
01:24:03.420
What he's saying is Alberta and Saskatchewan should set aside their own priorities and keep supporting the Ontario Eastern-centric way of life that he's become so accustomed.
01:24:18.760
He makes me want to suck on my teeth like Mark Carney meeting Trump.
01:24:22.440
Like, I just, I don't know what it is, but let me tell you, Doug Ford, you are the problem.
01:24:29.680
Like, how do you not understand that Westerners don't want to hear from Ontario politicians about what we should and shouldn't be doing?
01:24:50.500
He's actually doing the thing without the self-awareness to realize that he's doing the thing.
01:24:56.440
I said the other day on X, I, for one, am so sick and tired from these elite politicians who tell the little people, okay, what we can or cannot think, what we can or cannot do, and vilify us for going against their malevolent orders from on high.
01:25:18.900
And Doug Ford was just, just gave us such a perfect example of that.
01:25:24.280
Our Britons are mad because we're done being told to sit down and shut up by Ontario politicians.
01:25:29.880
And then an Ontario politician says, you know what you should do about that?
01:25:40.140
Do we think Doug Ford has the ability to have the self-reflection needed to be able to see that he just did what we're saying we're done doing?
01:25:50.660
Like, we are in Western Canada, we're saying we are done getting screwed.
01:25:57.880
And if it takes threatening and or leaving Confederation, well, then we're up for that.
01:26:04.940
And only to have Doug Ford lumber it and be like, okay, guys, stop talking now.
01:26:20.560
Doug Ford, we're literally mad because of that.
01:26:24.720
And then you come out and give us some more of that.
01:26:39.400
Stop interfering in Western Canadian issues and stop interfering on federal issues.
01:26:45.760
You stay in your lane, Doug, and we won't have a problem.
01:26:51.100
Well, I do believe there's going to be a pushback against it.
01:26:57.760
We've got Jim Brown chat saying, you two ladies are terrific.
01:27:05.420
If you haven't had your fill of us, we're on again tomorrow.
01:27:13.480
Canadians are not for sale because China already bought it.
01:27:33.480
I don't know if you're following Jason Kenney on X, but she is so far from Jason Kenney.
01:27:39.300
In fact, that last little clip that you saw could have been started with, dear Jason Kenney,
01:27:46.780
and then she could have read the rest of it because it was directed right at him saying,
01:27:51.340
look, Albert and she are going to have their say.
01:27:53.540
And they are not radical for thinking and feeling the way that they do.
01:27:57.880
So I think he's being so divisive and so corrosive and so toxic.
01:28:03.760
It makes one wonder what Jason Kenney's motivations are.
01:28:08.700
That is how, like the way that he's talking down to regular Albertans, it feels like he's taking his revenge upon Albertans right now who ousted him in COVID.
01:28:20.660
That's what it feels just like a whole truckload of sour grapes.
01:28:30.200
Well, I think we just have to stop listening to him, Sheila.
01:28:32.940
And the crazy thing is, he brings up all of the ways that he's built a career fighting the federal government.
01:28:41.200
And it sounds to me like it just sounds, just I, for one, believe that Jason Kenney is seeing his lucrative career go poof up in a cloud of smoke if Alberta chooses to separate or become more independent.
01:28:58.000
So also, if he were successful, we wouldn't feel this way.
01:29:05.840
The sentiments of Albertans are emblematic of his failure on these files.
01:29:12.560
Anyways, R.C. goes on to say, she's saying all the right things, but you won't be able to hold her feet to the fire.
01:29:20.680
So I think she's going to get an earful from a lot of people.
01:29:24.540
She also lowered the eligibility requirements for referendums.
01:29:28.900
And so, listen, that, that in calls, excuse me, that includes recall of politicians like Danielle Smith.
01:29:37.240
So she's actually making it easier for people to fire her.
01:29:44.540
So I would, I would argue, I would argue against that comment, but you're right about needing God.
01:29:52.200
R.C. also gives us another two bucks and says, another panel, more delays, more hoax, all liars.
01:29:56.680
Look, I, I think we both shared our opinions about why you shouldn't rush into this.
01:30:03.800
We're Albertans and our premier said it's okay to disagree.
01:30:07.900
And we do like at this moment, I will, like in defense of the panel, listen, I know we've had panels about other things.
01:30:13.220
And this is sort of one of the go-to ways that politicians kick the can down the field.
01:30:17.940
But in this case, because it is such a complex issue, because we have so many overlapping, overlapping initiatives that would go into making a really good decision.
01:30:28.880
We have to be able to get expert advice on the fly.
01:30:33.120
And so this is what I see this panel is, is Danielle Smith has, has set it up so that you will have legal advice on, on the fly.
01:30:42.180
You will have academic advice on the fly and you'll have her listening to it all as it happens.
01:30:50.920
Listening to the people that, that you serve is never a bad thing.
01:30:54.180
And so maybe let's just write it off as it's not like the other panels.
01:31:06.840
We, in his strongly worded letters to Justin Trudeau, who probably just looks at comics.
01:31:14.820
We're a big, we're a big fan of writing strongly worded letters here from Saskatchewan too.
01:31:20.420
See my strongly worded letter to the federal government.
01:31:23.100
Okay, well, it's going straight in a paper shredder is what's happening in Ottawa.
01:31:26.880
So, um, Nana Awake gives us five bucks and says, and I'm just reading this.
01:31:32.980
Uh, talking about election fraud is one of the things that can get you demonetized on YouTube.
01:31:39.180
So Nana Awake gives us five bucks and says, I'm perplexed.
01:31:42.520
Why is no one pushing Elections Canada to audit the election given?
01:31:48.780
Are we again going to sit down, shut up and accept Trudeau's puppeteer when this election,
01:31:53.320
I actually think he probably did win it fair and square, although with the help from, uh,
01:32:04.320
You know, we know that you're one of our major, major, super supporters and thanks so much
01:32:10.040
But these are all things that we should, uh, that we should be thinking about for sure
01:32:16.300
I mean, we voted in this last election, not knowing who the 11 parliament, I mean, I guess
01:32:21.280
we could put it together, but, uh, without any sort of intellectual curiosity on behalf
01:32:25.920
of the mainstream media, who those 11 parliamentarians were, who were the beneficiaries of foreign
01:32:32.440
Imagine, imagine getting, you know, they're liberals a year and not, not sending one person
01:32:41.240
But like, like so many things in Canada that have happened over the last several years,
01:32:45.280
it's just like, we'll add it to the humongous heaping pile of things that don't make sense
01:32:53.760
I still got questions about how Mark Carney became the leader of the liberal party.
01:33:06.180
I mean, I know who, uh, one of those, uh, parliamentarians is it's Senator Victor.
01:33:12.340
Oh, he was, uh, a conservative senator and the conservatives told on him.
01:33:20.140
So that's, that's how we know the rest of them aren't liberals is big or are liberals is
01:33:25.000
because when it was the conservatives, they were telling on themselves.
01:33:28.100
They're like, Hey, that guy that we can't fire that's in the Senate.
01:33:40.640
How does it feel to be told to sit still and be quiet?
01:33:43.500
Now, you know how the West and independent media feels, I guess that's directed towards
01:33:48.680
How he had to just sit there with Trump while Trump ran the room.
01:33:52.300
That's sort of how we're told to behave in Western Canada.
01:34:08.880
But the, like the most, the most shining and hopeful part of it is that we can find a
01:34:20.140
And, and after, after 120 years, again, of servitude, that sounds a lot better than an
01:34:27.900
infinite amount of time of future abuse by the federal government.
01:34:31.880
Whatever happens, it's got to be better than this.
01:34:35.180
Whatever, whatever happens, it's got to be better.
01:34:39.020
Nana Wake also says, I'm not calling for civil war or any level of violence, but for him to
01:34:43.180
announce capital gains on our homes and his climate over our basic needs in his first week,
01:34:49.640
Although if you, uh, if you get all your news from the mainstream media, they're talking
01:34:57.760
about how Carney is going to be some sort of fiscal conservative.
01:35:02.220
That's how they're positioning him is they're positioning him as the, as the guy that's going
01:35:10.420
Because I think even on the, even on, I mean, even on the left with the polls leading up
01:35:14.740
to the election for two years, uh, Justin Trudeau's government was on the radical extreme left
01:35:28.200
This is, but this is all just, this is all just political posturing.
01:35:31.680
They are making it look like he is a fiscal conservative, make it look like he's somewhat
01:35:36.880
more of a social conservative and make him more appealing.
01:35:42.920
They know that Western Canadians are eyeing other options and they are making Mark Carney
01:35:48.740
look as palatable and as attractive as possible to those potential Western voters.
01:36:03.760
We'll leave it for tomorrow because we're way over time on the CBC ombudsman.
01:36:09.360
Oh, they were, they were terrorized by, uh, regular citizens who had absolutely had enough
01:36:15.980
of CBC's debate, but also general election coverage.
01:36:22.100
Just give a, well, we got a record number of complaints during the election.
01:36:37.760
Um, this is a question or a comment from yesterday.
01:36:43.460
We showed a Dylan Mulvaney singing clip and I was like, in no way, shape.
01:36:50.720
And I was like, David, do not get us demonetized.
01:36:56.120
But Dylan Mulvaney was singing and I was like, look, I was like, is that a cat hitting a baby?
01:37:08.680
Um, but yeah, no, remove the filters, the plastic surgery and the auto tune.
01:37:13.560
And you have, uh, well, not what we see before us.
01:37:20.000
Anyway, memory hole gives us 20 bucks and says, even after a few dozen bud lights, I still see a dame with, to paraphrase, to paraphrase Rob, Bob Fyfe, a Pierre Apaliev.
01:37:36.940
Like, oh, that one, that one is accurate and hilarious.
01:37:44.220
Today's daily cringe, which is the closing segment of the show when I am hosting.
01:37:50.860
I have not seen it, but Efron assures me it's good.
01:37:54.380
And apparently it's on point, uh, Alexa Lavoie was out on the streets of Ottawa and she encountered this man from the hangover.
01:38:13.700
Anyway, so she asked the guy from the hangover some questions and, uh, Efron assures me there's cringe in here.
01:38:24.420
How did you react when you heard, uh, Daniel Smith yesterday saying that she wants fairness in equalization payment?
01:38:30.900
Eh, I think she's a very silly, unserious person.
01:38:33.600
She's off doing, uh, Prager Youth things on, for the States and on our tax dollars.
01:38:38.180
She spent 10 grand going to Florida of Albertans' money.
01:38:51.640
This guy's worried about how Alberta's money is spent.
01:38:57.100
She, pay attention to your own backyard for a quick second.
01:39:07.060
I think that's what he's doing is he's trying to hold his brains for falling out the back of his head.
01:39:11.980
But she's a very silly person, this man says, about Daniel Smith.
01:39:18.600
Like, if you want to see a classic, completely captivated, captured CBC viewer, look at this knit sweater.
01:39:30.560
Like, he, oh, everything about him just turns me off.
01:39:33.760
Like, every single thing about him turns me off.
01:39:42.360
But, yeah, he's worried that Daniel Smith spent $10,000 of Alberta's tax dollars to go to Florida and to make the case case to Americans, why they should like Alberta and save us from 25% tariffs, which she did, and it only cost $10,000.
01:40:06.920
But that'll be the goddamn day that I listen to somebody from Ontario telling me about my tax dollars being spent.
01:40:21.420
You guys are all, again, all of a sudden, penny pinchers.
01:40:30.400
Everything, no, I just maintain everything about his poncho-wearing, disheveled, like, his beard looks like it has little small animals living in it.
01:40:40.320
Everything about that man sort of turns me off.
01:40:41.860
But he's wearing a lanyard like he went to work.
01:40:48.960
Oh, this is, this is, oh, this is like a federal government worker?
01:40:53.620
And I shouldn't talk because, yeah, this is a federal worker, this is, and I shouldn't talk because I was like, is my pocket falling off?
01:41:07.480
And he's like, yeah, January, if it's wasting too much of Albertan's monies.
01:41:18.980
I bet it just has his name on it so he can remember what it is.
01:41:29.560
His poncho and his sweatpants and his bedraggled beard.
01:41:41.540
Nothing cringier than an Ontarian telling us to shut up.
01:41:59.860
Thanks, Olivia, Efron, everybody who works to put the show together at least.
01:42:05.100
Thank you for coming on this wild ride with me.
01:42:17.180
And as my friend David Menzies always says, stay safe and stay sane.
