00:00:00.000 This podcast is brought to you by Revel News. That's right. So if you want to support us,

00:00:23.340 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,
00:04:05.840 right?
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.
00:07:41.440 It's a nice statement.
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.
00:22:15.020 And they have,
00:22:15.820 I must say Canada is stepping up the military.
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.
00:28:18.440 Please hold, please.
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
00:29:41.660 substantial period of time.
00:29:42.780 I think, Mr. President, is there anything the prime minister can say to you today to change your mind
00:29:49.160 on tariffing Canada?
00:29:51.180 Tariffing cars?
00:29:52.480 Tariffing Canada. Is there anything he can say to you in the course of your meetings with him today
00:29:56.940 that would get you to lift tariffs on Canada?
00:30:00.080 No.
00:30:00.680 Why not?
00:30:01.720 Just the way it is.
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
00:30:23.700 is not going to change on the 51st state.
00:30:27.260 Secondly, we are the largest client of the United States
00:30:30.340 in the totalio of all the goods.
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
00:30:39.200 and the changes that made have been helpful.
00:30:41.900 You know, 50% of a car that comes from Canada is American.
00:30:45.280 That's not like anywhere else in the world.
00:30:47.920 And to your question about is there one thing,
00:30:50.960 no, this is a bigger discussion.
00:30:52.720 There are much bigger forces involved.
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
00:31:12.640 with somebody else.
00:31:13.420 That was a much different.
00:31:14.640 This is a very friendly conversation.
00:31:17.580 But we want to make our own cars.
00:31:19.980 We don't really want cars from Canada.
00:31:22.720 And we put tariffs on cars from Canada.
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.
00:31:53.900 In other words, they have a surplus with us.
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.
00:32:06.920 I assume they can.
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?
00:32:35.320 He said that would mean the end of Canada.
00:32:37.500 He actually said that to me.
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.
00:32:59.080 But we always will.
00:33:00.500 But, you know, it's not fair.
00:33:03.180 But why are we subsidizing Canada $200 billion a year or whatever the number might be?
00:33:08.580 It's a very substantial number.
00:33:10.300 And it's hard for the American taxpayer to say, gee whiz, we love doing that.
00:33:15.540 Thank you very much.
00:33:16.400 We're going to have a very –
00:33:17.320 Okay, I think that's good.
00:33:21.300 Carney didn't even get to respond to that.
00:33:23.640 Not even a word in edgewise.
00:33:24.920 They didn't even give him a word to get in edgewise.
00:33:27.700 Not –
00:33:27.840 And then they're like –
00:33:28.660 The journalist starts screaming, and Trump is like, okay, and that's it.
00:33:33.200 And did you see –
00:33:33.900 Janie Vance just laughing the whole way through.
00:33:36.360 Just leaning back and watching it unravel.
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.
00:33:48.240 These are all Ontario's industries.
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.
00:34:56.220 They laughed at him to his face in there.
00:34:58.700 And Trump just said, it's just the way it is.
00:35:02.880 Those tariffs are staying.
00:35:04.840 So –
00:35:04.920 Is there any one thing Canada can do?
00:35:07.840 Nope.
00:35:08.440 Nope.
00:35:09.220 Nope.
00:35:09.880 Nope.
00:35:10.280 Have fun.
00:35:10.760 So good job.
00:35:11.500 Good job, Ontario liberal boomers.
00:35:14.840 Okay.
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.
00:35:23.580 Do-do – lots of Ds and lots of Os there.
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.
00:35:35.620 I know.
00:35:37.440 Claims he doesn't need anything from Canada and how Trump intends to ruin our economy.
00:35:41.460 Yeah.
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.
00:35:53.400 Nope.
00:35:53.880 They just – nope.
00:35:55.080 This is – this is – it's for – it's for – oh, what is the word I'm searching for?
00:36:02.860 Sheila.
00:36:03.680 It's just smoke and mirrors to show that they're – okay, well, he wanted to come.
00:36:07.500 We let him in the building.
00:36:08.400 But we're going to run the show.
00:36:09.620 We're just going to run the show.
00:36:10.960 It doesn't matter what this weekly from Canada says.
00:36:13.580 It feels more like pity.
00:36:16.880 It's deferential respect that feels like pity.
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.
00:36:27.180 Like, you know, like, respectfully.
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.
00:36:36.260 Respectfully, respectfully.
00:36:38.020 And even when Carney says, oh, Canada's not for sale, Trump doesn't even respect – time will tell.
00:36:45.880 You know, this takes time.
00:36:47.500 This takes time.
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.
00:36:57.600 They don't need the products that we produce.
00:36:59.600 They don't need it.
00:37:00.380 Like, they're going to do it themselves.
00:37:02.040 So what do we need you for, Canada?
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.
00:37:10.400 We don't.
00:37:11.660 Well, no.
00:37:12.400 The West does because we have all the oil and the energy.
00:37:16.980 But it is true.
00:37:18.120 We have all the potash.
00:37:18.560 We have all the uranium.
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.
00:37:31.820 Thanks, Doug.
00:37:32.880 Again, thanks, Doug.
00:37:33.980 Canada is not for sale, but would you mind buying our cars?
00:37:37.600 All of our things.
00:37:38.880 Good strategy.
00:37:40.540 Good messaging.
00:37:42.100 Yeah.
00:37:42.820 P. Schofield, 10 bucks, says, ladies, your facial expressions are priceless.
00:37:46.800 Good to see Carney with his face well-planted.
00:37:49.240 Yeah.
00:37:50.580 Thank you.
00:37:51.920 We've got some more.
00:37:52.760 Good work, ladies.
00:37:53.700 279.
00:37:54.540 Mistaken mishaps, five bucks.
00:37:56.060 Canada voted for a clown, and the world sees us as a circus.
00:37:59.260 Good job, liberals.
00:38:00.000 I hope it was worth it, to own the haters.
00:38:02.720 And yeah, you didn't own the haters, did you?
00:38:05.840 No.
00:38:06.700 You just got somebody sucking up to Trump and Trump being – treating him as like the pathetic
00:38:15.420 fool that he is.
00:38:16.660 You know, we respect – if he were picking on Cardi, it would feel like bullying almost.
00:38:22.900 It would look great.
00:38:24.240 So Trump is the social media president.
00:38:26.920 He's also the reality TV president.
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
00:38:46.000 stuff.
00:38:46.880 Yeah.
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
00:38:56.480 state.
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?
00:39:11.740 Of course they know that we're doing this.
00:39:13.540 So Cardi is just there to lie.
00:39:15.700 He's just there to lie.
00:39:16.720 I mean, it's crazy, kind of.
00:39:19.420 And he – I guess technically, thanks to voters in the eastern part of this country,
00:39:24.020 he is the prime minister of the country.
00:39:26.200 But you can tell that's a regional stranglehold on power.
00:39:30.500 You can – like we've balkanized completely.
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.
00:39:45.300 I love to see it.
00:39:46.960 I do love to see it.
00:39:48.200 I love nothing more.
00:39:49.900 When the left eats itself.
00:39:52.020 Oh, I love nothing more.
00:39:53.320 When all of those oppression groups, like, all just collide.
00:39:56.280 It's amazing.
00:39:57.500 It reminds me of the standoff between the pro-Hamas people and the pride people on that street
00:40:03.000 corner.
00:40:03.440 And I was like, I'm just going to stand back here and cheer for mutually assured destruction.
00:40:08.060 Oh, you've got to love it.
00:40:10.200 You've got to love it.
00:40:12.000 We're seeing that right now on the NDP.
00:40:13.800 Anyway.
00:40:15.940 AMT60 gives us five bucks.
00:40:17.620 I'm in Ontario, and I'm thinking of moving out west next year.
00:40:20.720 Lease.
00:40:21.020 Is Scott Moe planning to – on doing a separation referendum?
00:40:24.720 How much is a house in Saskatchewan?
00:40:26.140 Sheila, what are the cheap areas to buy a house in Alberta?
00:40:28.420 Oh, buddy.
00:40:28.980 Avoid the cities at all costs.
00:40:30.460 Get on realtor.ca, and you in Ontario will die when it comes to housing prices in Saskatchewan
00:40:37.780 compared to Ontario.
00:40:38.860 Like, honestly, you can sell your two-bedroom bungalow in Ontario and move into a mansion
00:40:43.520 in Saskatchewan.
00:40:44.840 I am not making this up.
00:40:46.300 Like, come look at realtor.ca.
00:40:47.540 Big mansion on a lake.
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
00:41:01.320 are driving all of the narratives.
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
00:41:30.160 with here?
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
00:41:40.500 etargy as the people of Alberta, okay?
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
00:42:15.800 even higher than Alberta.
00:42:17.380 So the conversations are happening.
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
00:42:37.960 to lower that bar.
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
00:42:47.180 tell it's a passion point of mine.
00:42:50.000 You know, it's funny.
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
00:43:11.360 match it with the price point from Alberta.
00:43:13.480 And it was like, here's your McMansion on a lake for your haunted garden shed in Toronto,
00:43:22.000 and the one in Alberta comes without ghosts.
00:43:25.140 So like, no, truly, it's obscene.
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.
00:43:43.320 I'm not making this up.
00:43:44.820 Like, good natured people of Ontario and Quebec and Eastern Canada, come now, come west.
00:43:51.360 This is where the future's at.
00:43:52.560 This is where you belong.
00:43:53.660 Like, come.
00:43:54.060 We just invite all of you guys to join us out here in the west.
00:43:58.000 It's the best.
00:43:58.500 Yeah, but leave your voting habits behind unless your voting habits vote for smaller
00:44:04.500 government and more accountability.
00:44:06.660 Please don't honour my Alberta.
00:44:10.180 Yeah, we're not taking lefties at this time.
00:44:12.240 So thanks so much for your application.
00:44:14.020 But no, we'll keep you.
00:44:15.360 We'll keep you out there.
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.
00:44:27.480 We'd be happy to have you.
00:44:28.860 Yeah.
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
00:44:38.660 west because we do such a good job.
00:44:40.640 I mean, we love it.
00:44:41.440 Obviously, we love it here.
00:44:42.680 It's the best place on earth.
00:44:43.680 And we need more like-minded people.
00:44:47.180 So make your way, kids.
00:44:49.200 I remember when I was a youngster and Saskatchewan was living through the dark days of Romano
00:44:54.700 and Alberta had our Ralph Klein.
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
00:45:06.540 were from Saskatchewan.
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.
00:45:20.960 That's, this is just the way of it.
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.
00:45:36.860 We're happy to have you back anytime, guys.
00:45:39.500 Okay.
00:45:40.000 Let's breeze through the rest of these.
00:45:41.340 Spam bought fodder, five bucks carnage.
00:45:43.800 Carney says Canada is not for sale because he wants to sell it to the CCP and the WEF.
00:45:48.980 Yeah.
00:45:49.400 Bro.
00:45:49.980 Exactly.
00:45:50.760 Exactly that.
00:45:52.440 Carmen DL.
00:45:53.120 I want to know your response to Carney saying he talked to the owners of Canada.
00:45:56.980 What the heck is he talking about?
00:45:58.740 The King?
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
00:46:13.040 and Saskatchewan own their provinces.
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.
00:46:20.300 Okay.
00:46:20.880 I'll take that.
00:46:21.720 If the people own it, then the people get to decide, I guess.
00:46:24.500 So we'll do it his way.
00:46:27.160 Schofield 10 gives us five bucks.
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
00:46:36.860 only.
00:46:37.720 Trump will not want all of Canada.
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
00:46:49.840 that we would love you, cherish you.
00:46:51.780 You should be ours.
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?
00:47:02.420 So they've done none of that to us.
00:47:06.140 And it is like at one in three Westerners are like, yeah, we could leave if we thought
00:47:12.120 about it hard enough.
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
00:47:44.840 go up past 50 and 60% overnight.
00:47:48.420 So I'm so happy that you brought that up.
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
00:48:13.640 for one second longer.
00:48:14.960 But you put, you put an offer on the table of one-to-one asset transfer to American dollars
00:48:20.380 and American citizenship.
00:48:21.740 It would be a done deal.
00:48:23.700 It'd be a done deal.
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
00:48:39.240 too complicated.
00:48:40.280 You guys can never do it.
00:48:41.720 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:48:43.100 I'm a generational farmer.
00:48:45.200 I live on the land.
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.
00:48:58.280 Most people came here 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?
00:49:33.780 Yes.
00:49:34.100 Do you forget that?
00:49:35.600 Yes.
00:49:36.080 Underestimate us at your own peril.
00:49:37.400 So, yes, you are, you are talking to people who are the most rugged and resilient on planet
00:49:43.900 earth.
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
00:50:08.560 engine of this entire country.
00:50:12.300 You know, it's something that our Americans, something that the Americans are reliant on
00:50:17.680 us for.
00:50:18.980 You think we can't leave if we wanted to?
00:50:20.800 If you chose?
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.
00:50:35.240 Yeah.
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?
00:50:44.560 Are you out of your minds?
00:50:46.800 Every time I see somebody say, say something like that, I'm like, ah, you're lazy.
00:50:51.440 I get it.
00:50:52.080 I get it.
00:50:52.920 When you self-identify as lazy, I get it.
00:50:55.820 But like, don't do it on the internet.
00:50:57.700 That's embarrassing.
00:50:59.040 But every time I see it, I'm like, oh, okay.
00:51:01.520 You're, you're lazy.
00:51:02.840 Got it.
00:51:03.600 Got it.
00:51:04.060 I, I, fine.
00:51:05.300 Good.
00:51:05.580 I understand.
00:51:07.060 Exactly.
00:51:07.800 Never lived outside of a condo.
00:51:09.080 These are people that haven't seen a day of hard labor in their entire lives, but no,
00:51:13.000 underestimate the West at your peril.
00:51:14.700 So, uh, yeah.
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.
00:51:26.540 That's right.
00:51:27.420 Yep.
00:51:27.800 Saskatchewan too.
00:51:28.540 Plus one for Saskatchewan.
00:51:29.880 Thank you.
00:51:30.200 Plus.
00:51:30.460 Couldn't have said it any better.
00:51:31.380 Ditto.
00:51:32.080 Ditto from Saskatchewan.
00:51:33.160 Let's hit an ad break.
00:51:33.820 We got, uh, Premier Smith making a huge announcement yesterday.
00:51:37.100 Um, and I think striking the perfect tone.
00:51:39.160 Uh, the sovereigntists are mad.
00:51:42.420 The federalists are mad.
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.
00:51:52.600 So let's hit an ad break.
00:51:53.460 We'll come right back.
00:51:54.500 Do you agree with me?
00:51:55.340 It is time to make Canada great again.
00:51:58.620 And that is why we at Rebel News have teamed up with MCGA hats to introduce, well, the fashion
00:52:07.700 sensation of 2025.
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.
00:52:20.940 So what are you waiting for folks?
00:52:22.380 Show your pride.
00:52:24.600 This is the perfect thing for a patriot to wear.

00:53:43.980 All righty.
00:53:45.740 Okay.
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
00:54:47.660 us.
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
00:55:12.520 of our people.
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
00:55:41.400 afford.
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
00:55:59.300 States, Asia, and the Middle East.
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.
00:56:21.380 half a trillion dollars out of our economy.
00:56:28.280 Half a trillion dollars.
00:56:29.720 Yes.
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
00:56:58.840 fiscal conservatives, real penny-pinchers.
00:57:02.000 Oh, no, no, no, they just...
00:57:03.320 Daniel Smith.
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
00:57:23.540 the CBC is just unreal.
00:57:26.840 It's just unreal.
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.
00:57:40.520 Like, can we borrow that?
00:57:42.760 They're going to teach this communication strategy in political science courses, I think, from
00:57:48.960 yesterday.
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.
00:58:15.500 We need to hear these messages, too.
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
00:58:55.800 feds.
00:58:56.120 That's exactly what it is.
00:58:57.380 Yeah.
00:58:57.800 Yeah.
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
00:59:16.860 for political gain.
00:59:17.860 That is why a large majority of Albertans are so deeply frustrated with the results of last
00:59:24.240 week's federal election.
00:59:26.020 It's not that our preferred candidate and party lost.
00:59:28.620 That happens in a democracy.
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.
00:59:45.760 Now, as we all know, one thing has changed.
00:59:48.860 We have a new prime minister.
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
01:00:21.300 to better protect ourselves from Ottawa.
01:00:26.580 Okay.
01:00:28.920 Yeah.
01:00:29.880 I mean, that's about it.
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.
01:01:03.700 You must follow the science.
01:01:06.340 You must, you must believe what we believe.
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.
01:02:04.740 So it's beautifully put, I think.
01:02:08.120 She's not done.
01:02:09.460 She said, we aren't asking for special treatment or even handouts from the feds.
01:02:13.660 We just want to be free.
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.
01:02:26.920 We love Canada.
01:02:28.420 We have fought wars and died defending Canada.
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.
01:02:42.940 All have been welcomed with open arms.
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
01:03:16.100 has in mind.
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
01:03:44.100 to succeed.
01:03:46.900 Well, that's perfectly put, Danielle Smith.
01:03:49.960 Well done.
01:03:50.380 We are different than the rest of this country.
01:03:54.520 We allow us to be different.
01:03:57.120 Yeah.
01:03:57.360 Distinct society.
01:03:58.520 Allow us to be different.
01:03:59.980 We're not asking for special treatment.
01:04:02.800 We're asking for you to get out of the way.
01:04:06.300 That's it.
01:04:06.960 We'll decide for ourselves.
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
01:04:31.060 those in Ottawa.
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
01:04:50.140 and our way of life.
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.
01:05:02.700 Because it's what Quebec gets.
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
01:05:15.260 do.
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
01:05:27.760 we can and can't do.
01:05:29.140 And that's not what we do around here.
01:05:31.620 No, no.
01:05:32.600 And it's becoming more and more obvious the disparity between the treatment of Quebec and
01:05:38.260 the treatment of Western Canadians.
01:05:40.180 Canadians and, uh, this is all, I mean, listen, it'll all come out in the wash.
01:05:44.760 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
01:05:50.700 their future to look like.
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.
01:06:01.460 Uh, we've got Daniel Smith's solution.
01:06:07.820 So I know that she is limited by what she can do within Confederation, but we're having
01:06:13.340 another panel.
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.
01:06:24.020 So this is not just the eggheads coming in.
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
01:06:47.520 through it.
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
01:06:56.360 ever, ever, but here she is.
01:06:58.080 Well, she's, she, yeah, go on.
01:06:59.900 Yeah.
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
01:07:16.280 in Canada.
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
01:07:42.700 them sometime in 2026.
01:07:47.480 To be clear from the outset, our government will not be putting a vote on separation from
01:07:52.120 Canada on the referendum ballot.
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
01:08:12.600 referendum ballot as well.
01:08:16.240 She just put an expiration date on how fast the government of Canada can respond to her
01:08:21.720 requests.
01:08:22.920 That's what she did there.
01:08:24.680 And what Danielle Smith possibly does better than any premier since Ralph Klein is actively
01:08:34.080 listen to the people she governs.
01:08:36.840 So when she's chairing this panel, she is going to be actively listening to the people of Alberta.
01:08:43.340 She is going to be hearing their concerns.
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
01:08:56.080 people of Saskatchewan more.
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.
01:09:17.020 And nobody does it better than Danielle Smith.
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?
01:09:44.340 It's up to you people at home to do that.
01:09:47.420 And she said that repeatedly.
01:09:49.420 It's up to you.
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
01:10:04.740 2026.
01:10:05.980 And for people who are saying she's not going to let us vote this year, it's already May.
01:10:10.400 You don't have time.
01:10:11.960 You don't have time.
01:10:13.200 You need an education.
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.
01:10:56.980 You must get all of your ducks in a row.
01:10:59.080 You must have all of your people ready to go.
01:11:01.140 We must be united in this.
01:11:03.380 And right now it feels a little bit unorganized and a little bit nebulous.
01:11:07.160 But I agree.
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.
01:11:18.680 Approach this very methodically.
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?
01:11:28.180 What are you going to do about that?
01:11:29.960 What about...
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.
01:11:36.220 Like, it's all part of the negotiation.
01:11:37.800 Could it be worse?
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.
01:11:59.800 All must negotiate.
01:12:01.160 None of them can bow out.
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.
01:12:16.860 I mean, we have to have these conversations.
01:12:19.460 But that's the thing.
01:12:20.160 That's part of an education campaign.
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?
01:12:26.060 What are you going to do about the pension?
01:12:27.280 What are you going to do about the debt?
01:12:28.340 I don't know.
01:12:29.140 That's Toronto's debt.
01:12:30.360 It's got nothing to do with me.
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.
01:13:01.100 Yeah, without question.
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.
01:13:45.400 Should not.
01:13:46.260 A one-year timeline, perfect.
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.
01:13:59.940 It's incredible.
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,
01:14:06.420 which I swapped out.
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.
01:14:49.220 But we'll get to that too.
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.
01:15:14.120 This is non-negotiable.
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.
01:15:43.220 They are loyal Albertans.
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.
01:19:22.500 I trust you.
01:19:23.680 May our beautiful Alberta always remain forever strong and free.
01:19:27.820 Well, I got goosebumps all over.
01:19:31.500 I've got tears in my eyes.
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.
01:20:05.960 It was perfect.
01:20:07.920 It was perfect, Sheila.
01:20:09.980 Yeah.
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.
01:20:35.460 And that goes both ways.
01:20:37.260 Jason Kenney.
01:20:38.320 Jason Kenney.
01:20:39.680 Yeah, yeah.
01:20:40.080 Doug Ford.
01:20:40.720 Exactly.
01:20:41.420 Yeah.
01:20:41.600 You know, and that exactly was a shot at Jason Kenney, who is basically saying those people are fringe radicals.
01:20:49.380 She is saying they're not fringe radicals.
01:20:51.420 In fact, they were probably members of Jason Kenney's base when he got elected first to premier.
01:20:55.920 And how dare you crap all over them?
01:20:58.700 Yeah.
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.
01:21:22.100 It's incredible.
01:21:22.800 Unlike the liberal government.
01:21:23.740 Yeah, it's incredible.
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.
01:23:01.660 Yeah.
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.
01:23:22.620 I'm doing that.
01:23:23.760 You know, united we stand, divided we fall.
01:23:26.740 I forget about.
01:23:29.340 Great.
01:23:30.180 Listen, you can't ham.
01:23:31.900 Listen to me, you can't ham.
01:23:33.860 You can't ham.
01:23:34.700 Yes.
01:23:35.020 It is.
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.
01:23:49.900 Okay?
01:23:50.360 Now is not the time.
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.
01:24:17.380 That's what I'm hearing there.
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?
01:24:41.240 That is quite literally the problem.
01:24:43.520 That is the problem.
01:24:45.240 And then you get up and then you say it.
01:24:46.120 You are the problem.
01:24:47.260 You just did the thing.
01:24:48.720 He did the thing.
01:24:49.320 Yes.
01:24:49.980 He did.
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.
01:25:17.300 I am sick of this.
01:25:18.900 And Doug Ford was just, just gave us such a perfect example of that.
01:25:23.300 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?
01:25:32.980 Sit down and shut up.
01:25:38.080 But you know what?
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.
01:25:53.340 We are done getting screwed by you.
01:25:55.640 We are going to have a voice in this.
01:25:57.880 And if it takes threatening and or leaving Confederation, well, then we're up for that.
01:26:03.360 Okay?
01:26:03.640 This is where we're at.
01:26:04.940 And only to have Doug Ford lumber it and be like, okay, guys, stop talking now.
01:26:09.980 No, I know what's best.
01:26:11.040 I know what's best.
01:26:11.720 I know what's best.
01:26:12.320 Oh, it's just the best.
01:26:17.700 Keep you up, Doug.
01:26:19.020 Keep it up, bud.
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.
01:26:27.260 Yeah.
01:26:27.860 How about you just keep it to Ontario?
01:26:30.860 How about you just stay in your lane, Doug?
01:26:33.460 How about you keep it to Ontario?
01:26:34.620 Ruin Ontario.
01:26:35.700 We're fine.
01:26:36.340 That's right.
01:26:36.740 Keep it on the provincial level in Ontario.
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.
01:26:48.520 You keep veering outside of it into ours.
01:26:51.100 Well, I do believe there's going to be a pushback against it.
01:26:56.060 All right.
01:26:56.820 We've got some more.
01:26:57.760 We've got Jim Brown chat saying, you two ladies are terrific.
01:27:03.200 Well, thank you.
01:27:04.240 Oh, thank you.
01:27:05.420 If you haven't had your fill of us, we're on again tomorrow.
01:27:08.260 Same time, same place.
01:27:10.100 Yes.
01:27:10.960 Cece Ramsey gives us $6.99.
01:27:13.480 Canadians are not for sale because China already bought it.
01:27:16.180 That's what this is all about.
01:27:18.700 Courtney looks like he could cry.
01:27:20.980 Yeah.
01:27:21.700 I'm not arguing with that.
01:27:23.480 Not at all.
01:27:24.400 No.
01:27:24.960 That's nothing but the truth.
01:27:26.220 Thanks, Cece Ramsey.
01:27:27.540 Thanks so much.
01:27:29.100 RC Lamoureux gives us $5.
01:27:30.700 Daniel Smith is doing her best Jason Kenney.
01:27:32.960 No.
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.
01:28:23.600 Crazy ex-girlfriend stuff.
01:28:25.300 It's crazy ex-girlfriend stuff.
01:28:27.000 He has to stop.
01:28:27.640 100% toxic.
01:28:28.600 Yeah, 100% toxic.
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.
01:29:02.080 Right.
01:29:03.540 That's exactly right.
01:29:05.060 Thank you.
01:29:05.360 Good point.
01:29:05.840 The sentiments of Albertans are emblematic of his failure on these files.
01:29:11.920 That's right.
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.
01:29:17.160 You need God.
01:29:18.620 She's chairing this panel.
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.
01:29:41.320 If you don't like her, get going.
01:29:43.000 If she, exactly right.
01:29:44.540 So I would, I would argue, I would argue against that comment, but you're right about needing God.
01:29:49.340 I think we all do in this moment.
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.
01:30:01.940 If you disagree, that's okay too.
01:30:03.800 We're Albertans and our premier said it's okay to disagree.
01:30:07.580 Yeah.
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.
01:30:48.680 So I don't see this as a bad thing.
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.
01:30:59.100 It's a different kind of panel.
01:31:00.620 Yeah, it's not Kenny's panels of yore.
01:31:05.660 Yes, yes.
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.
01:31:31.960 I have to be careful.
01:31:32.980 Uh, talking about election fraud is one of the things that can get you demonetized on YouTube.
01:31:37.620 Um, yeah.
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?
01:31:47.080 And I'm just going to say what we know.
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,
01:31:58.980 China and the mainstream media.
01:32:01.940 Yeah.
01:32:02.840 Yeah.
01:32:03.180 Thank you, Nana Awake.
01:32:04.320 You know, we know that you're one of our major, major, super supporters and thanks so much
01:32:08.660 for that comment.
01:32:10.040 But these are all things that we should, uh, that we should be thinking about for sure
01:32:14.360 as Canadians.
01:32:15.800 Yeah.
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
01:32:30.740 interference.
01:32:31.780 We don't know who they are.
01:32:32.440 Imagine, imagine getting, you know, they're liberals a year and not, not sending one person
01:32:37.240 to figure out who those people are.
01:32:39.520 It's egregious.
01:32:40.760 It's egregious.
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
01:32:50.260 and yet continue on like they should.
01:32:53.560 Yeah.
01:32:53.760 I still got questions about how Mark Carney became the leader of the liberal party.
01:32:58.220 I still got questions about that.
01:32:59.680 And now he's the prime minister.
01:33:00.820 I'm like, this is upside down world.
01:33:02.840 This continues to be upside down world.
01:33:05.800 Yeah.
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.
01:33:31.200 Someone should really look into him.
01:33:33.080 So anyway, uh, let's keep going.
01:33:38.740 Lamont Munch gives a 699.
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
01:33:47.340 Mark Carney.
01:33:48.040 Yeah.
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.
01:33:56.520 And, uh, we're not doing that.
01:33:58.680 Yeah.
01:33:59.100 Yeah.
01:33:59.300 We're done.
01:33:59.880 We're done.
01:34:00.580 We're done getting screwed.
01:34:02.620 Yeah.
01:34:03.740 That's such a good URL.
01:34:05.600 Done getting screwed.com.
01:34:07.060 It really is.
01:34:07.920 It really is.
01:34:08.880 But the, like the most, the most shining and hopeful part of it is that we can find a
01:34:14.200 way to get ourselves unscrewed.
01:34:16.900 We can unscrew ourselves Western Canada.
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,
01:34:47.260 what's his next draconian move?
01:34:49.000 Yeah.
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.
01:35:00.760 So there's that.
01:35:02.220 That's how they're positioning him is they're positioning him as the, as the guy that's going
01:35:07.520 to not be as extreme as Justin Trudeau.
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
01:35:22.000 end of the spectrum.
01:35:23.180 So who is advising them?
01:35:25.980 Who is advising them?
01:35:27.300 Mark Carney.
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.
01:35:40.480 Uh, make no mistake.
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.
01:35:55.600 So, uh, don't fall for it.
01:35:56.980 Western Canada.
01:35:57.780 Don't fall for it.
01:35:58.420 It's all smoke and mirrors.
01:35:59.900 Yep.
01:36:00.240 It's all smoke and mirrors.
01:36:01.100 There was something I wanted to talk about.
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.
01:36:20.840 Um, confounded.
01:36:22.100 Just give a, well, we got a record number of complaints during the election.
01:36:27.620 Yeah.
01:36:27.960 I bet you did.
01:36:29.020 Cause you did a record number of BS's.
01:36:31.960 That's right.
01:36:33.160 It's actually hilarious.
01:36:34.400 Let's get into it tomorrow.
01:36:35.860 Yeah.
01:36:36.280 We'll talk about it tomorrow.
01:36:37.760 Um, this is a question or a comment from yesterday.
01:36:40.880 It's from memory hole.
01:36:42.080 Gives us 20 bucks.
01:36:43.460 We showed a Dylan Mulvaney singing clip and I was like, in no way, shape.
01:36:49.080 I, I know.
01:36:50.720 And I was like, David, do not get us demonetized.
01:36:54.220 And David did his very best and we were safe.
01:36:56.120 But Dylan Mulvaney was singing and I was like, look, I was like, is that a cat hitting a baby?
01:37:05.380 What is that noise?
01:37:06.520 What is that noise?
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.
01:37:31.900 And that's a joke from yesterday.
01:37:34.580 I get you.
01:37:35.120 I get you.
01:37:35.940 We get you.
01:37:36.940 Like, oh, that one, that one is accurate and hilarious.
01:37:41.340 Thanks so much.
01:37:44.220 Today's daily cringe, which is the closing segment of the show when I am hosting.
01:37:49.260 Prepare yourselves.
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.
01:38:07.020 Is that the guy from the hangover?
01:38:08.800 Where's the baby strapped to your chest, sir?
01:38:11.300 Where is it?
01:38:12.140 Where is it?
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.
01:38:21.740 So let's all watch together.
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.
01:38:41.160 I don't think she's serious.
01:38:42.020 I don't think we should be taking her serious.
01:38:43.900 How did you react?
01:38:45.560 Okay.
01:38:47.040 Okay.
01:38:47.920 Okay, CBC.
01:38:48.800 This guy is worried about my money.
01:38:51.640 This guy's worried about how Alberta's money is spent.
01:38:55.180 You're in Ottawa.
01:38:57.100 She, pay attention to your own backyard for a quick second.
01:39:01.520 Look at him.
01:39:01.920 What is he doing with his head?
01:39:03.300 What is he doing with his hand there?
01:39:05.240 Is he holding his brains in?
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.
01:39:16.160 Yeah.
01:39:16.680 Well, this is a CBC viewer, though.
01:39:18.600 Like, if you want to see a classic, completely captivated, captured CBC viewer, look at this knit sweater.
01:39:27.800 Look at this.
01:39:28.920 This is what it looks like.
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.
01:39:35.620 I would wear those sunglasses in a heartbeat.
01:39:37.580 I will tell you that much right now.
01:39:38.780 But I enjoy my obnoxious, stupid sunglasses.
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.
01:40:04.540 Again, pretty good ROI, by the way.
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.
01:40:18.700 You guys are the ones gobbling them all up.
01:40:21.420 You guys are all, again, all of a sudden, penny pinchers.
01:40:24.800 They're just, like, I just, whatever.
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.
01:40:44.020 He's wearing a lanyard, though.
01:40:45.640 So he's at work.
01:40:47.300 This is how he went to work, like this.
01:40:48.960 Oh, this is, this is, oh, this is like a federal government worker?
01:40:52.260 Is that what you're saying, Sheila?
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?
01:40:59.800 Yes.
01:41:00.280 But I, this is, whatever.
01:41:02.720 I shouldn't talk.
01:41:03.760 I realize I'm being a hypocrite on this issue.
01:41:05.900 But this man is at work.
01:41:07.480 And he's like, yeah, January, if it's wasting too much of Albertan's monies.
01:41:13.360 No, please don't be offended on my behalf.
01:41:15.160 Thank you.
01:41:15.600 I'm fine.
01:41:17.000 I bet that lanyard isn't a work lanyard.
01:41:18.980 I bet it just has his name on it so he can remember what it is.
01:41:22.420 That's, that's what I'm going to say.
01:41:25.400 It's his bus pass.
01:41:26.200 His poncho and his, poncho, his bus pass.
01:41:29.560 His poncho and his sweatpants and his bedraggled beard.
01:41:33.180 Ugh.
01:41:33.820 Ugh.
01:41:35.640 There's the cringe.
01:41:36.860 There it is.
01:41:37.260 You guys just had a full, full body cringe.
01:41:40.500 Ooh.
01:41:41.540 Nothing cringier than an Ontarian telling us to shut up.
01:41:46.040 Like, I just, that is cringe.
01:41:48.880 Okay.
01:41:49.240 I think that's it.
01:41:49.980 We went way long, like almost two hours today.
01:41:53.620 Thanks, everybody who pitched in.
01:41:55.400 Yeah.
01:41:55.920 To keep the lights on here at Rebel News.
01:41:57.800 We could not do it without you.
01:41:59.860 Thanks, Olivia, Efron, everybody who works to put the show together at least.
01:42:03.960 Thank you.
01:42:04.720 Thank you.
01:42:05.100 Thank you for coming on this wild ride with me.
01:42:07.900 The pleasure is mine.
01:42:09.160 Sheila Gunn-Reed as always.
01:42:10.380 And I will see you guys tomorrow.
01:42:11.840 Same place, same time tomorrow.
01:42:12.880 Can't wait.
01:42:17.180 And as my friend David Menzies always says, stay safe and stay sane.
01:42:21.060 Thank you.
