00:03:47.100hopefully you can fill in the blanks there and the parallels. But first and foremost, let's get
00:03:52.460into it. I want to know, Mr. Rene, you've ran as a PPC candidate. And I'm curious, how did you
00:04:00.180first kind of get into politics? And when did you kind of first wake up to the idea of controlled
00:04:04.900opposition or the idea that, hey, this conservative party, I don't know if they're actually here to
00:04:10.040help us? Well, I've always had the ambition to get into politics at the end of my business
00:04:15.780career. And I've been already throughout my career meeting a lot of people that way. I've met
00:04:20.520Trudeau, Prime Minister Rutte as part of that engagement. I've also even met Mikhail Gorbachev,
00:04:27.820I thought might come in handy at some point. So I always had this idea. But then in 2020-21,
00:04:34.740when this whole COVID bamboozle happened, I thought it was a perfect time to get involved.
00:04:39.280And how did I get involved? I ran into Max Bernier actually at the various demonstrations,
00:04:45.040anti-lockdown demonstrations and I really developed the affinity there I also felt
00:04:49.380my lion spirit getting all uh fed through the through the demonstrations uh Randy Hillier and
00:04:56.400and Maxime Bernier were there as political people and uh I thought okay let's put my head in the
00:05:03.320ring in May 21 I decided to do that and become a candidate and the rest is history I I had uh
00:05:10.720five percent no uh three and a half percent the vote here in Stobel nice not bad one thing that
00:05:15.820that uh I wanted to say I was already somewhat involved here in Stobel in in politics I supported
00:05:21.880Jane Philpott as she was uh in 2015 a liberal she she's a good lady she's a doctor she uh she
00:05:31.880went to my church and she was a bit of a rebel too now she didn't last too long in the in the
00:05:36.060Trudeau cabinet, as you know. But I supported her because I didn't like the conservative here,
00:05:42.960Paul Calandra. I thought he was definitely controlled opposition, a bit of a showman
00:05:47.860and a salesman for the military industrial complex, as I felt he was. At that time,
00:05:53.680Syria was playing a lot and they wanted to start World War III. They still want to start World
00:05:58.060War III. But he was fully behind that, you know, and I felt that deserved some pushback. And we
00:06:04.940had a peace festival here in Stovall with the support also of Jane Philpott and a lot of others
00:06:09.340that's how my my it started yeah yeah did Jane Philpott get back in in 2021 no no no she tried
00:06:18.120to run as an independent and she lost against Helena Jacek who's a liberal who was who had
00:06:23.740the machine behind her and who defeated her gotcha okay so let's get into the um let's get into this
00:06:30.740this farmers protest i'll just i'll just bring up this um these uh this this is a familiar site i
00:06:37.860i kind of i i put it up on the intro but we had a whole bunch of tractors coming down the freeway
00:06:44.180people cheering on the overpass obviously that very well i was doing the research today of course
00:06:51.540if i'm not mistaken you know it was uh february 2022 that's when the trucker convoy happened
00:06:56.660And then this big uprising, this kind of activation happened in the Netherlands in July or June, July, the summer of 2022.
00:07:06.240However, like many protests that go on, if I'm not mistaken, there was like this was kind of like a sentiment back in 2019 as well that farmers were upset.
00:07:15.500This has been building for decades, I would say.
00:07:18.900The populist parties in the Netherlands have have a history of 20, at least 20 years.
00:07:24.120Now, the farmers, their big discontent started, I think, around this whole introduction of nitrogen rules, which they felt was total nonsense.
00:07:35.260And they felt you're trying to hoax us here.
00:07:37.300Now, a common sense farmer doesn't like hoaxes.
00:07:40.640They don't mind making even compromises even related to their business.
00:07:46.240They've always had to do things very environmentally friendly because the country is so densely populated.
00:07:50.740They have to make sure that the shit doesn't stink too much for the neighbor, so to speak.
00:07:55.760There's all sorts of rules that they need to live by in order to make farming work.
00:08:08.940And under false pretenses, you're trying to confiscate our farms.
00:08:12.860And then, two, that started to tie into other political resistance, like against the World Economic Forum rules.
00:08:18.200And that came on the heels also of the whole COVID bamboozle, which I believe actually that farmers' protest was also another buildup of the Canadian truckers' protest where they saw, okay, actually what we've been doing already for decades maybe makes sense here again too.
00:08:41.940So I do think there is a connection between Canada and Holland there.
00:08:45.300They felt inspired by the truckers' protest here.
00:08:48.200And so they that is now going back and forth. And I'm hoping actually that now this latest wave of political discontent that they were able to translate to political power in the House of Commons there also will translate now here.
00:09:02.540OK, I was going to bring this up a little bit later, but let's bring it up now. This is one of the official, you know, conservative parties.
00:09:09.860It's called the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy. And would you say this is an apt comparison?
00:09:15.620they are kind of they've been around for so long they're kind of like the uh grandfathered if you
00:09:21.080will a conservative party like they've been around for what since the oh for deck for more than
00:09:27.620decades yeah look at that since the after the war they still they were started and they've always
00:09:31.640been part of the or often been part of the coalition government in the netherlands the
00:09:35.700netherlands so i was gonna say my question was um as this sort of has been building with these
00:09:41.880farmers this kind of resentment this kind of like uh we think this is nonsense what you're imposing
00:09:46.700upon us what was this party doing during that time um like were they kind of just placating
00:09:53.500the farmers were they actually doing anything for the farmers or is it kind of been a slow march
00:09:57.460uh with more and more it's been a slow boiling frog situation also i think for the people in
00:10:02.020this party and some party have actually separated from this party started a new populist party like
00:10:07.620Gid Wilbers, who runs the PVV, another freedom party, came from the VVD and and left them because he felt that they were not standing up for the Dutch farmers and entrepreneurs.
00:10:21.140And so that VVD has always been very much a business oriented party like the conservatives here.
00:10:27.300But over time, they became more and more drawn into this Euro centred thinking.
00:10:33.480I think Klaus Schwab has had a big influence on Mark Rutte as well, at least the thinking of that, the whole sustainability agenda.
00:10:42.920They definitely drank all the Kool-Aid from the Klaus, from the World Economic Forum.
00:10:47.620And so that's slowly how they drifted towards a super duper environmental, almost a green fascism, as you could call it, agenda that was already advocated by the Green Party in the Netherlands
00:11:02.280or or their coalition party party dss uh and so there's yeah there's um i think it's a slow
00:11:09.560boiling frog situation yeah and i'm just gonna play a quick clip here uh of the uh of the farmers
00:11:16.300kind of roaming around uh in their protest just to kind of you know embodying that spirit of the
00:11:21.280convoy and using their their trucks or their tractors to really kind of uh you know make
00:22:54.860That nitrogen is also a necessary element for plants.
00:23:00.080and and uh to use that as an argument uh for is is yeah uh not fair on its surface it's not
00:23:10.180it's not using truth and that's the it's yeah they're creating fictions in the context of
00:23:16.500um just a policy that they want to implement and yeah that's just part of the whole
00:23:22.180globalist agenda and it started in 1974 and club of wrong right the elites decided that we're going
00:23:28.520to use the environment as a way of as a new enemy that we can rally the whole world around.
00:23:34.300Right. And so let's look for more parallels here, because there are certainly a lot when it comes
00:23:40.360to the trucker convoy, when it comes to political dissidents who have been, you know, one of the
00:23:47.240regular co-hosts here is Jeremy McKenzie. He's a very outspoken individual, and he has really been
00:23:52.540picked on by the state media the state government uh the state intelligence agencies and on and on
00:23:58.740and the conservative party the official opposition in this country vilify anybody like this they
00:24:04.740vilify any dissident they vilify any dissent is the same thing happening in the netherlands where
00:24:09.340these farmers are terrorists and there are these evil people what does that look like and what
00:24:13.780does that sound like and who does it come from well yeah it is the the what you would call then
00:24:21.780And what is supposed to be the acceptable way of dealing with the situation, and that's represented by someone like Mark Rutte, that says, well, this is what we have to do.
00:24:29.940And then people that agitate against it and say, no, we don't have to do this.
00:24:32.920And what you're trying to propose doesn't make sense.
00:24:35.020They get marginalized, you know, and they get basically pushed aside.
00:24:39.080And to the point of, and I'll give you one example, for 20 years, they already have had populist parties, okay, agitating against this type of agenda in the Netherlands.
00:24:48.580one guy that rose to prominence was killed at one point okay that's a political assassination
00:24:54.580very rare in the netherlands i think the last time was where william of uh of orange was uh
00:25:02.200in the 1600s where they had an assassination now this was pimp for time he was a guy that was
00:25:09.740standing up against uh you know all the refugees coming in the netherlands basically he said
00:25:14.420not netherlands is full we shouldn't be changing our our uh way of life here to and and just
00:25:21.060flutter flood the whole country with with migrants uh and he was killed actually by a radical
00:25:27.240environmentalist good thing he wasn't killed by uh by somebody from from another ethnic background
00:25:33.080because the dutch would have at that point started civil war probably but uh yeah so this has been
00:25:38.720going on for for 20 years now the farmers was it was it a straight up like assassination like it
00:25:43.600He was like a straight-up terroristic, like, you know, very intentional.
00:25:46.080He walked out of an interview with a radio station.
00:25:49.000One guy, you know, it was just one guy.
00:26:55.800And in 21, the current leader, Karleen van der Plaas, she was elected as a sole representative because you have proportional representation in the Netherlands.
00:27:07.360These changes go a lot faster than they would go here in Canada.
00:27:10.680We can talk about that a bit later, how the PPC can operate here.
00:27:14.560But there, yeah, now suddenly because and it shows a very good sign.
00:27:19.180The population has chosen the side of the farmers.
00:27:21.300okay uh and in the latest election it was in march of uh this year they became the this farmers
00:27:28.380party uh under the lead of uh caroline von der plas became the biggest party in a provincial
00:27:34.720election now this is not for the house of commons this two years from now the house of common
00:27:39.100election will be be had if she's still uh if she is still in the same position as she is now she
00:27:45.800will be the next prime minister of the netherlands and displays margarita so that will be that would
00:27:51.340be interesting yeah i don't know if you guys can quite see that but essentially at the top here
00:27:55.680you have bbb this is the new uh farmers party getting what is that 1590 is that seats in
00:28:04.120different provinces or oh that that number i'm not sure what that is that 15 is a seat yeah
00:28:08.980this was the election for provincial uh uh rat von staat it's called uh and they elected the
00:28:16.100senate and they only have 75 seats there so they got uh they became the biggest party yeah that's
00:28:22.680that's it and then as you can see it here it's the farmer citizen movement uh in the netherlands
00:28:27.400being just growing like crazy and uh this is the uh i'll just the leader you said is um
00:29:03.400They couldn't find enough people that represented them in a good way, or you had some people join them that just couldn't keep this story together.
00:29:12.280And at the moment, even though they have had such an electoral success, they have a hard time finding good candidates can actually work in the various government agencies to implement this, their policy.
00:29:24.320So now, yeah, this is going to be successful.
00:29:26.940What happened with the actually Forum for Democracy in 21, these people could not work with anybody.
00:29:32.840And the establishment parties didn't want to form coalition parties with these new upstart populist parties.
00:29:39.500So their policies were defeated that way.
00:29:42.400So even though you might get elected in parliament, it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to implement your policies.
00:29:48.540I guess it's a little different there because there is so many different parties.
00:36:47.520But I was asking earlier, we kind of got sidetracked there, but I was asking earlier about how badly, you know, dissidents get vilified and farmers get vilified.
00:36:55.600And I'm just going to bring this up. This is from the ferryman's toll who brought attention to this on his telegram.
00:37:01.360And essentially, this was during the farmer protests.
00:37:04.220Oh, look, someone placed and photographed a swastika flag at the farmer's demonstration.
00:39:44.300She's not affiliated with the Farmers Party, but she is.
00:39:48.060Well, she's actually she's she's got a law degree, I think, or a Ph.D. in philosophy, something like that.
00:39:55.760Yeah. I just want to play this speech from her because it kind of echoes stuff that we talk about on the show or that I've kind of been preaching, which is we have to save ourselves.
00:40:05.360You know, like like a lot of the especially when it comes to these establishment parties, like they are they are really not going to be doing us any favors.
00:40:11.120but we'll play part of our speech here, powerful speech.
00:40:13.900I apologize, it's going to be happy more reading for you guys.
00:40:41.120But our cabinet is not going on. It's not going on the nature, it's not going on the land of the people, and it's not going on the boeren.
00:40:54.120Our cabinet has been created for the boeren of the land.
00:41:02.120All the things you can do, all the things you can do, all the things you can do,
00:41:10.120all the things you can do, is to take off the table.
00:41:15.120And you know how you do this, ladies and gentlemen?
00:41:24.120Here, with type, we are not going to be in the conversation.
00:41:28.120We are not going to deal with people who have fought for our boers, who try to fight for our boers and try to bring it to the ball.
00:41:42.120And not only our cabinet, but also a few opposition parties that say to fight for the boers, but that it is not now, must be what I think is.
00:41:56.120friends, if it's not the time to fight then, that's why?
00:42:10.700As they'll today, representative's Enough of the Deutsche Bank
00:45:27.700And so if that's the case, I think we can be competitive there.
00:45:32.020He just introduced yesterday the promise that if he gets elected,
00:45:35.800he will introduce new legislation related to late-term abortions,
00:45:40.100the only conservative party that's willing to bring up this subject.
00:45:44.580And for conservative, for true conservative voters in Canada, this is a is a big issue that that basically nobody wants to talk about it because they're worried about being out yelled by the by the liberal mob.
00:45:58.140Right. So Max doesn't care. He just says, OK, you know, there's certain principles you fight for.
00:46:04.420And killing late term babies is not one thing you want to want to do.
00:46:08.800And we need to be able to draw a line in the sand there.
00:46:11.940And and at least we can bring it up for discussion.
00:46:14.580So that's one of those things, but there's so many others, you know, uh, I don't have
00:46:18.980to, uh, regurgitate the PPC platform here for this.
