Corey Morgan joins me to talk about Bill Morneau's bombshell, and why he thinks it's a good thing Chrystia Freeland is stepping down as Finance Minister. We also talk about Calgary s mayor, Nahid Nenshi, and the WE scandal.
00:07:53.800Now, one last thing on this issue, the media, they seem to be treating this more fairly than they have other Trudeau kind of scandals.
00:08:10.200However, if Stephen Harper had lost an attorney general, a health minister, and a finance minister, all, you know, within about 18 months,
00:08:22.360the media would be saying that his government was in full-scale meltdown.
00:08:27.600And yet this is just, you know, well, you know, there's the we scandal has claimed its first head instead of Justin Trudeau's lack of ethics is basically causing cabinet to collapse.
00:08:41.000Yeah, well, they say, well, it's bad, but it's liberals being liberals.
00:08:44.960So, you know, so we just got to accept that.
00:08:46.540That's just part of the way we do things in Canada.
00:08:49.140We see that Laurentian elite among the mainstream media.
00:08:51.840It's the same group that they just say is part of doing business.
00:08:54.520And, of course, a lot of them are getting a great deal of government largesse for taking on that attitude,
00:08:58.820though they'll deny that that influence isn't.
00:09:03.020Yeah, there's certainly a big double standard between how the media treats conservative governments and liberal ones.
00:09:08.460And we're seeing they would have been screaming for blood if this had been the Harper administration.
00:09:12.520And seeing as it's true, they are at least being critical, but not nearly enough to warrant the fact that this is examples of gross entitlement and corruption.
00:09:20.100It really should be making more headlines.
00:09:21.520Yeah, it's sponsorship level corruption, at least.
00:09:28.300However, I guess for you and I in this economic climate, it gives us job security at our respective media companies, as long as the mainstream media is so terrible.
00:09:42.600The mainstream media is their own worst enemy.
00:09:45.440They honestly, they get more hostile towards alternative media sources because they're scrambling while they swirl the drain.
00:09:51.120They don't understand why people are turning away from them.
00:09:53.740But instead of looking at themselves and adjusting their behavior, they just double down on the bad behavior.
00:09:58.400And I feel bad for people losing their jobs, but I'm not feeling too sad watching the mainstream outlets starting to swirl the drain.
00:10:04.740Yeah, I mean, they're starting to swirl the drain.
00:10:08.380However, Justin Trudeau is bailing them out.
00:10:11.180And so, I mean, I guess that we won't even have that market correction that will allow them that come to Jesus moment about their own behavior because Justin Trudeau is preventing it, at least, you know, in the time being.
00:10:24.760Now, staying on federal politics, I wanted to ask you about the Conservative Party leadership race, because if I'm interpreting your social media presence correctly, you're a conservative, libertarian type, but nonpartisan.
00:10:42.660You're not invested in this all that, you know, personally.
00:10:47.880What is your take on the leadership race?
00:10:50.140Is it a coronation for Peter McKay or are we actually going to see some competition here?
00:12:01.200Like, I think we all knew that Andrew Scheer was a social conservative.
00:12:05.840Everybody knew, but he wasn't honest about it.
00:12:08.900He would say, well, you know, I am this, but I'm also, you know, these are my, I'm this way in my political life, and I'm this way in my real life, and nobody really believed what he was saying.
00:12:19.260He offended the social conservatives who knew exactly what he was, and the socially progressive wing of the party just felt like he was being completely dishonest.
00:12:29.720At least, Leslie Lewis is honest about who and what she is, but I do agree with you that there's a Biden-esque quality about Peter McKay in that he's not out there doing debates, and he sort of feels like it's his turn, and that's a terrible reason to want to be prime minister.
00:12:48.740Yeah, we don't need somebody else coming in on a sense of entitlement right off the bat.
00:12:53.040I mean, in his defense, in his light way, I mean, what a terrible year to try and hold a leadership race.
00:12:58.500So we haven't had opportunities for him or any of them to really to go to any large rallies or try to do what would be traditional leadership sort of events to build up some steam or engage more with people on the ground and see what they're about or what they're going to do.
00:13:12.900But again, he certainly hasn't set the world on fire.
00:13:15.260We just seem to be seeing more of the usual campaign machine on the ground just to want to pump up those memberships and win that leadership.
00:14:21.960But what is going to happen is they're going to paint other murals at that $120,000 tax dollar price tag in other areas in the city.
00:14:29.640And it's really been something to observe.
00:14:33.080So this came to kind of a quiet vote in July in council, where it was split, but they won by one vote, the usual left versus right sort of thing.
00:14:39.380Because Calgary has screwed up its arts program so long, so badly, so many times.
00:14:44.220There was supposed to be a freeze on art spending.
00:16:17.180I mean, that really seems to be Nishi's go-to sometimes.
00:16:21.060That's his big fat shut up is you're all a bunch of racists if you disagree with what we're doing.
00:16:27.660And, again, as you rightly point out, it was multicultural hands, rainbow hands, and a dove.
00:16:33.320So it was like, you know, all these cultures coming together in peace, which is what they tell us Black Lives Matter is all about.
00:16:40.740But, you know, Black Lives Matter's tactics in attacking this mural, it really, it sort of tipped Black Lives Matter's hand about who and what they really are.
00:16:53.940Because it's not really about peace, is it?
00:16:56.020Because we're not seeing a lot of peace around their protest.
00:16:58.980It's really about tearing down the structures that we have from our art to our family to, you know, the structures of government.
00:17:10.080And people have to stop pretending that they are.
00:17:12.580I mean, Black Lives Matter in Alberta shut down the Pride Parade in Edmonton.
00:17:16.760You know, these guys, they've got no respect for their progressive allies either.
00:17:20.060And they insist on pushing their way to the front and beating in the front at all costs.
00:17:25.180We saw in Portland a Black Lives Matter mob, it looks like, beat a man possibly to death because he was trying to drive a vehicle through there.
00:17:32.580This is not, and this is what race baiting and this sort of crap leads to it.
00:17:36.740It infuriates the, which, again, are extremists and in a minority, but they wrap themselves around this group.
00:17:41.300And people think that they're above critique, and that's the worst possible thing.
00:17:45.260Because of the name Black Lives Matter.
00:17:47.060Okay, that term in itself, sure, that's fine.
00:17:49.520But this represents a much bigger group of extremists, just like Antifa.
00:17:52.960And they try to say, well, if you don't like Antifa, it means you support fascism.
00:17:55.740No, no, I just don't support you crazy buggers.
00:17:58.880But they've been well in cloaking their extreme groups with these names and putting themselves beyond critique.
00:18:03.780But I think, hopefully, the public's getting up and saying, that's enough.
00:20:23.140And, you know, of all the people to be dragged out of a tractor and assaulted on a highway, you know, it's kind of surprising that it was Jeremiah.
00:21:38.040Well, no, it looks like they're setting up on daytime highway check stops and beating up farm kids rather than driving around on patrol and protecting our property.
00:21:57.140Now, I think I promised you we'd wrap up in about 20 minutes.
00:22:01.400So I'm going to give you the opportunity to tell our viewers here at Rebel News how they can find the work that you do with Western Standard Online, but also your podcast, how they can support the work that you do or how to get in touch with you.
00:22:16.720Well, Western Standard Online is where I've been writing columns lately, and I'm actually managing their podcast and digital end of things.
00:22:22.240So we're going to be upping the game there and getting some more alternative news going and coverage going.
00:22:28.600For my own personal stuff and my own personal podcast, it's always posted on CoreyMorgan.com.
00:22:33.660And the best support I can get is just come on in and listen and tell me what I'm doing right or even more fun, tell me when I'm doing something wrong.
