A free audio-only version of The Ezra Levant Show featuring your host, Kian Bextie. This episode is brought to you by The Rebel, a Canadian political podcast produced by Ezra Levant and co-hosted by yours truly. In this episode, Ezra and Kian discuss: Why Canada s economy is heading into a recession. Why Trudeau s Alberta senator pushes to get P.J. Goodson out of prison. And why the people blocking the arteries of our nation are not representing any band, tribe, or anything of the sort.
00:03:04.240It's almost like this chaos is being caused by opportunists.
00:03:08.260Environmentalists who put on moccasins for the first time just yesterday, for the first time in their lives, are trying to take advantage of Trudeau's weaknesses.
00:03:38.080This is all to do with the Wet'suwet'en.
00:03:40.780Of course, not the 85% who voted in favor of coastal gasoline.
00:03:45.020Just the 15% who agree with her radical agenda.
00:03:48.660I was tipped off that this whole national hostage situation wasn't authentically Indian when I traveled up to the Crown Land just south of Smithers, B.C., west of Houston, B.C., the area that these Caucasian blockaders call traditional Wet'suwet'en territory.
00:04:04.920Yeah, what I would suggest is you guys just go and then maybe come back later and fight.
00:04:49.660When a decision needed to be made, whether they would talk to me or not, they consulted with the white people running the show in the teepee.
00:04:57.360Not a surprise though, climate activism is disproportionately white.
00:05:02.320Given this cause has been orchestrated by white girls around the globe, it was only a matter of time before Greta co-opted the cause.
00:05:10.040She's pledged support, her support, and the four million people who are following her to the rail blockades here in Canada.
00:05:16.800Of course, she's pretending like she has been concerned with the plight of indigenous people for some time.
00:05:21.760But we all know that this sick 17-year-old just enjoys watching developed countries freeze in the dark.
00:05:27.840I can just picture her face when she hears that there are pipeline shortages.
00:05:32.860But don't worry, even though the country's facing fuel shortages, farmers are getting turned away at grain elevators because they are at capacity due to rail closures.
00:05:41.560And premiers are facing threat of citizens' arrest at their houses from terrorist groups like Extinction Rebellion.
00:05:48.220Rest assured because Prime Minister Blackface is working extra hard today.
00:06:20.020They're talking to provincial police, instructing them to remove blockades.
00:06:23.200That gave Harper with a smile the go-ahead to put on a serious face and fill up the leadership vacuum left by all of the other incompetents running the House of Commons.
00:06:32.660As Prime Minister, as I said, I would direct the ARCMP to enforce the law to ensure that our railway system can operate.
00:06:40.640We have ideologically motivated protesters and activists who have, in many cases, have no connection at all with the First Nations community.
00:06:50.360And they are threatening the jobs of thousands.
00:06:53.980These protesters, these activists, may have the luxury of spending days at a time on a blockade, but they need to check their privilege.
00:07:02.600They need to check their privilege and let people whose job depends on the railway system, small business, farmers, do their jobs.
00:07:11.320After seeing Scheer act like a leader for once, his loyalists were kicking it into high gear.
00:07:16.380Now, I can't tell if they are actually seriously this desperate to save and defibrillate their dairy defender, but they sure seem serious.
00:07:25.980A non-confidence motion was added to the House of Commons order paper earlier today.
00:07:32.140After announcing his resignation, Andrew Scheer has just made a bid to lead the party again into the next election.
00:07:38.620This wasn't just any old member of parliament putting forward a motion of non-confidence.
00:07:43.020This was Andrew Scheer himself saying that the government needs to fall, and it needs to fall right now before he leaves the party.
00:07:49.180The party put forward a motion of non-confidence, and just like we expected, Andrew Scheer himself was the one behind it.
00:07:57.880We knew that this was going to happen.
00:08:04.040It's when Joe Clark defeated Pierre Trudeau, and Pierre Trudeau announced his resignation.
00:08:09.260In late November of 79, Pierre Trudeau said that he would be stepping down as leader, and it seemed like it was to bide his time.
00:08:17.400It was to take the heat off of him after the disastrous election of Joe Clark.
00:08:21.480After the liberals lost an election, they thought that they could win.
00:08:25.300After Trudeau announced his resignation, his caucus voted unanimously to keep him on.
00:08:30.720Hmm, I wonder where I've heard that before.
00:08:33.400That's the exact same thing that happened to Andrew Scheer.
00:08:35.420He announced his resignation amid scandal, and, well, his caucus said, you should stay on.
00:08:40.320It would be a shame, just as they said to Pierre Trudeau, it would be a shame to lose someone of such high-quality leadership
00:08:47.240in a time when the Prime Minister is so incapable, just like Joe Clark was, just like Trudeau was.
00:08:53.980Joe Clark had a minority government, and Trudeau had a minority government.
00:08:57.640Well, just after Pierre Trudeau announced his soon-to-be resignation, guess what?
00:09:01.780Pierre Trudeau orchestrated a vote of non-confidence, and Joe Clark's government collapsed.
00:09:06.000And wouldn't you know it, the liberals, amid Trudeau's sagging popularity, well, they ran the campaign without Trudeau really at the forefront of it.
00:09:13.140They more ran the campaign against Joe Clark, rather than running it with Pierre Trudeau on the masthead.
00:09:18.640They won that election, and they formed Pierre Trudeau's last-majority government.
00:09:23.000Just after Scheer's resignation, I went to his writing to ask people if they even knew who he was.
00:09:28.320We're wondering if you could tell us who he is.
