Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Great to have you along. 5.13 a.m. on Wednesday, February the 5th with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:08.900
The theme of today's video is Team Canada is a myth.
00:00:14.860
And I'll get to that in just a moment. You know, it's been like a roller coaster of emotions in this country.
00:00:21.380
We've been on the verge of chaos for months around here.
00:00:24.120
I think since January 6th, people felt rather optimistic when Trudeau sort of semi-retired or semi-resigned.
00:00:32.940
The next breath, he prorogued government, which was not a good thing, threw us into a liberal leadership campaign, which isn't a good thing.
00:00:40.480
And, you know, basically we're on the verge of economic collapse because Trump tariffs can come in.
00:00:46.780
And then all of a sudden, that's averted by a last 11th hour decision that Trump's going to hold off on the tariffs at least for a month.
00:00:57.920
Yesterday, I did a video talking about things have changed in Canada because all of a sudden, provinces and people across the country, politicians,
00:01:06.560
thinking it's now important for us to get our natural resources out of the ground and look for another customer besides the United States to sell our stuff.
00:01:17.920
But things can change very quickly, and they did yesterday afternoon.
00:01:22.920
I want to show you a couple of pictures, all right?
00:01:37.380
So quite a few years ago, I took this photo, and there's another photo right there.
00:01:41.920
In fact, you might get the idea of the theme of this video by looking at my hat because that's where I bought this hat.
00:01:48.020
Now I want to look at a couple of articles that are connected, and it gives me great pains to talk about here.
00:01:56.060
So let's look at this National Post story here.
00:01:59.840
Trudeau says Canadians more united than ever in the face of U.S. tariff threats.
00:02:04.660
We've collectively shown that when Canada's interests are in danger, our political identity no longer matters.
00:02:15.800
I know when I read these things in quotes from Trudeau, you immediately think of his dramatic voice showing up.
00:02:25.500
Okay, so speaking at a Lunar New Year reception in Ottawa, Trudeau said the past few weeks have been challenging,
00:02:31.500
but said he was encouraged to see Canadians step up to support their local businesses and communities in the face of 25% U.S. tariffs.
00:02:40.160
Quote, that is the very best of Canada, unquote, Trudeau told the crowd on Tuesday evening.
00:02:45.560
We pull together when we're faced with challenges, and that's what we've seen from coast to coast to coast.
00:02:55.780
We've collectively shown that when Canada's interests are in danger, our political identity no longer matters.
00:03:03.680
There is no Team Canada, folks, and I'm going to prove it to you in just a moment.
00:03:10.260
I and many people said that Trudeau and the Liberals were using the tariffs from Trump,
00:03:16.620
and they wanted them because they wanted to prop up the poll numbers for the Liberal Party.
00:03:20.720
Well, that has changed now, at least for 30 days.
00:03:26.360
He's pivoted to now the Liberals and he are the only ones that can unite Canada and bring us all together,
00:03:34.440
I did a video, actually, the other day on this, and I didn't put it out.
00:03:38.640
It was Monday afternoon. It's in the can and everything.
00:03:40.940
It was based on an article written by Sue Ann Levy at True North, and I'll put a link in the description.
00:03:46.060
And it was called Trump Tariffs and Foe Canadian Patriotism, because that's what this is.
00:03:51.620
The very same people who right now are saying they're on Team Canada, like Trudeau,
00:03:57.060
are the same people that tear down our statues of Johnny MacDonald,
00:04:05.940
are trying to tear down our common history in this country.
00:04:09.640
The same people who call you a settler because you're not an indigenous person and that you're on stolen land.
00:04:15.740
The same people that do that to you are saying they're on Team Canada right now,
00:04:23.320
So here is the Premier of Quebec, Francois Legault.
00:04:26.940
Premier calls on Quebecers to fight American trade threat.
00:04:31.860
We must increase our trade with the rest of Canada.
00:04:34.380
And yes, we must work towards real free trade between Canadian provinces, said Legault.
00:04:43.360
People are thinking differently about our natural resources, including our oil.
00:04:48.720
We need to start trading to somebody else because most of our trade is with the United States,
00:04:53.800
and we cannot depend on them, obviously, because of these tariffs that may be coming in still in March.
00:05:04.020
Okay, so this is posted by Efrain Flores Monsanto, retweeted by Rebel News.
00:05:15.640
If during your discussions today, the issues of pipelines came up and whether Quebec would now support either an Energy East or some other kind of pipeline that would take Alberta oil out to markets other than the U.S.
00:05:32.200
Of course, right now, there's no social acceptability for this kind of project right now in Quebec.
00:05:42.720
But, of course, situation, the economy, and what Mr. Trump is doing may change the situation in the future.
00:05:58.100
So if there's a social acceptability, we will be open to these kind of projects.
00:06:05.300
But right now, there's no social acceptability for a pipeline right now, says the Premier of Quebec.
00:06:19.860
And I just had a story where he said, we must increase our trade with the rest of Canada, but not Alberta oil.
00:06:35.660
I live in Alberta, and we don't like Quebec at all.
00:06:39.340
You know, we ship off our money that we earn to Quebec because they have none.
00:06:44.200
They get their little daycare programs and their health care because of Alberta.
00:06:49.540
Ralph Klein, the Premier of this province, once said, let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark.
00:06:57.560
I mean, Albertans still remember the national energy program under Trudeau Sr.
00:07:08.120
There is a national unity issue going to pop up.
00:07:15.120
She's the smartest politician right now in Canada.
00:07:18.280
She was right when it came to diplomacy with Trump.
00:07:20.980
And she's absolutely right when she says there is a unity issue on the horizon, even if the tariffs don't happen,
00:07:27.220
because of stuff like what Legault said right there.
00:07:49.480
All of these people want Alberta to separate from Canada.
00:07:53.820
But I'll never forget, there was a Q&A that night.
00:07:56.380
And somebody said, listen, we can't get our oil to the coast right now as part of Canada.
00:08:01.320
How are we ever going to do it if we're not part of Canada?
00:08:06.580
He said, well, if we want to get a pipeline out to British Columbia and they say no to us,
00:08:18.300
And I'm wondering what shippers would think of that.
00:08:25.620
B.C. would be just sitting out there, isolated, not part of Canada anymore.
00:08:30.080
And as far as Quebec goes, he said, well, they're not going to get any of our transfer payments
00:08:41.600
So, as far as Trudeau, he's using this national unity thing as a way for him to build up the poll numbers
00:08:56.160
And all of Team Canada, poof, is falling apart.
