00:00:00.000 Tonight, I am announcing Canada will be responding to the U.S. trade action with 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods.
00:00:30.000 And I hope to God, for myself and for everybody watching this, we do not have to relive Justin Trudeau's speech over and over and over again.
00:00:40.980 I'm going to go through some of the clips. I recorded it live.
00:00:43.880 And there were things that stood out that I'm stunned this man had the gall to say.
00:00:49.060 So I'm going to go through that.
00:00:50.260 And I'm going to say something about the premiers and what they should have done.
00:00:55.040 What they should have done last night.
00:00:57.060 Now, did you wake up thinking about this this morning?
00:01:00.740 I'm a Canadian. I did.
00:01:02.040 I've been doing these videos for about six weeks.
00:01:04.700 Talking about Canadian politics and things like that.
00:01:06.900 And this is what was on my mind.
00:01:08.200 But a lot of Canadians are waking up thinking about this situation with the United States and tariffs coming in and economic hardship.
00:01:14.840 Because, folks, I've never been through this before.
00:01:17.500 This could get really bad really fast.
00:01:20.900 But do you think Americans were waking up thinking about this today?
00:01:23.460 I don't think too many were.
00:01:24.520 A lot of them are rejoicing in what Donald Trump's doing for their country.
00:01:28.840 He's sticking up for their country.
00:01:29.960 America first.
00:01:30.800 But here's what was trending this morning when I woke up.
00:01:33.220 Nothing there on Canada.
00:01:35.140 Last night, lots of reaction to this.
00:01:37.020 And since Donald Trump put in the tariffs, lots of reaction.
00:01:39.460 I mean, this is freaking pathetic.
00:01:40.700 That's what I put.
00:01:41.660 So I responded to this guy on X.
00:01:44.460 Dear Donald, here's my brunch menu listing a whole bunch of things that are from Ontario and Canada.
00:01:49.560 Do you really think Donald Trump woke up concerned about what Justin Trudeau said last night?
00:01:54.740 No, apparently the CBC says that Trump's just going to come back with harsher tariffs now that we've got 25% tariffs on their goods now.
00:02:03.120 Who's going to win this war?
00:02:04.760 Donald Trump's not concerned about this.
00:02:06.500 This is a man.
00:02:08.440 What?
00:02:08.700 He's been indicted four times.
00:02:10.220 They've tried to throw him in jail.
00:02:11.640 They've tried to destroy his businesses.
00:02:13.420 They've impeached him twice.
00:02:14.660 They've tried to destroy his family.
00:02:16.120 They raided his house.
00:02:16.880 They tried to kill the guy twice.
00:02:19.180 And he stood up after getting hit in the ear with a bullet and went, fight, fight, fight.
00:02:23.220 Do you really think Donald Trump is concerned about what Justin Trudeau said last night?
00:02:27.500 No, he's in it for the long haul.
00:02:29.060 And apparently, according to Trudeau, we are too.
00:02:31.740 And I'll get to that in just a moment.
00:02:33.200 Lots of people, proud Canadians right now.
00:02:35.180 Likely these people right now are the same people who rejoice when we start tearing down our history, our statues.
00:02:40.980 And these are the type of people who probably call you a settler when you stick up for your country.
00:02:47.700 Tonight, I'm prouder than I've ever been to be a Canadian.
00:02:50.060 I'm the exact opposite.
00:02:51.080 I thought that was pathetic last night that we could even be in the situation.
00:02:54.920 And we have a twit like Justin Trudeau speaking on behalf of our country.
00:02:59.020 You don't have to like Mr. Trudeau to agree.
00:03:01.580 His speech hit the nail on the head.
00:03:02.880 It's his fault.
00:03:04.240 That's how I followed that one up.
00:03:05.460 It's his fault we shouldn't be here.
00:03:07.160 And then whether you like Trudeau or not, his speech tonight was perfect and powerful.
00:03:11.180 I'm very proud to be a Canadian.
00:03:12.800 Trudeau was responsible for this mess.
00:03:14.640 Absolutely.
00:03:15.520 Then we go over here to Corey Morgan.
00:03:16.920 Now, Corey is with the Western Standard.
00:03:19.000 Follow Corey.
00:03:19.720 You can see his handle there.
00:03:20.740 If you're on X, follow him.
00:03:22.220 Watch the Western Standard.
00:03:23.360 Subscribe to them as well.
00:03:24.580 Note for the day, it's Alberta's oil, not Canada's.
00:03:27.000 Alberta's in Canada.
00:03:27.980 Therefore, it's Canadians. 0.98
00:03:29.460 It's Canada's oil.
00:03:30.720 F off with your anti-Canada BS.
00:03:32.980 If you want to be an effing mega moron, move to the damn states.
00:03:36.620 Now, Marty up north, follow him as well.
00:03:38.920 You can see him.
00:03:40.640 And it's his tag there for X.
00:03:43.300 And he says, hey, Albertans, time to wake up.
00:03:45.460 Idiots like Dave are not the exception.
00:03:47.340 This is how the majority of Eastern Canadians perceive Alberta.
00:03:50.040 And he's absolutely right.
00:03:52.160 They just want our resources and our money.
00:03:54.380 Beyond that, they want us to be good little players on Team Canada without an actual, say,
00:03:58.500 in policy time for a referendum on separation.
00:04:02.040 And that's the other thing that hasn't really been discussed much.
00:04:05.240 Daniel Smith, a week or so ago, said a national unity issue could be coming.
00:04:11.720 And we're getting very close to that, folks.
00:04:14.220 Now, if you're a proud Canadian and you want the country to stay together, you should be
00:04:17.380 calling for Parliament to resume and election immediately.
00:04:20.560 But Daniel Smith's absolutely right.
00:04:22.780 The unity issue is coming.
00:04:24.300 And as far as I'm concerned, I really am not a proud Canadian anymore.
00:04:27.920 I live in Alberta.
00:04:28.840 I call myself Albertan.
00:04:30.200 I'd love to see us, our own separate country.
00:04:32.520 I don't want to be the 51st state.
00:04:34.540 But Marty's absolutely right.
00:04:36.380 The separation movement here in Alberta is likely to grow from this.
00:04:39.760 And when he talks about they want our money and our resources, I mean, here's the layout
00:04:44.240 right here.
00:04:44.720 Look it.
00:04:45.480 Alberta puts so much money into equalization payments.
00:04:50.640 And look who gets all of it.
00:04:52.200 Everybody in the East.
00:04:53.240 They've got to start pulling up their socks over there and stop shutting down our resource
00:04:57.620 industry.
00:04:58.160 I'm going to get to that in just a moment with what Trudeau said last night.
00:05:02.040 Kudo to Trudeau speechwriters.
00:05:03.760 That was a good one.
00:05:04.960 See if you feel that way when you're living in the 51st state.
00:05:08.320 And so those are just some of the things you're hearing online and the reaction to what Trudeau
00:05:13.320 said last night.
00:05:14.060 I'm not happy with this at all.
00:05:15.360 I think a lot of those people who are proud of themselves right now, we're not conservatives
00:05:19.020 anyway.
00:05:20.320 But there is an ulterior motive to what happened last night.
00:05:23.520 And I've been saying it all along.
00:05:25.120 I've seen more people over the last week or so saying this is a play for poll numbers for
00:05:29.420 the Liberal Party.
00:05:30.600 And yes, folks, I do believe that the economy is at stake right now and at risk because the
00:05:36.800 Liberals need to bring up their poll numbers.
00:05:38.740 Let's take a look at some of the clips from Justin Trudeau last night.
00:05:45.360 Let me assure you, I'm not going to play the whole speech from last night.
00:05:48.840 With his speech and answering questions, it went on for about 32 minutes.
00:05:52.960 I'm going to try to keep this short.
00:05:54.300 I don't want this video to be 20 minutes long.
00:05:56.540 So I'm going to play a clip from the beginning of his speech and one near the end because this
00:06:02.020 was a theme throughout this speech last night.
00:06:04.360 I'm sure many of you are anxious, but I want you to know we are all in this together.
00:06:13.220 This trade action by the Americans and our response is going to have real consequences
00:06:21.420 for people, for workers on both sides of our border.
00:06:25.080 He started off his speech by saying, we're all in this together.
00:06:38.960 Are you in this with him?
00:06:40.560 I'm not.
00:06:42.200 This is a man and a party, the Liberal Party, that has done everything over the last nine
00:06:47.980 to ten years to divide this country.
00:06:49.740 They divide us on everything.
00:06:52.000 Man versus woman, gay versus straight, black versus white, on and on and on. 0.65
00:06:57.440 You know, the DEI stuff.
00:06:58.580 I don't feel like I'm in on this with him.
00:07:00.480 I don't want to be part of this.
00:07:02.440 I don't think Canadians should be in this predicament at all, but it's because of him
00:07:05.400 and the Liberal Party.
00:07:06.700 And then he goes on to say, we won't back down.
00:07:09.080 Well, we're damn right we're going to back down.
00:07:10.860 We have to back down sometime because the United States won't back down.
00:07:13.220 It's going to come to a point where we have to capitulate.
00:07:18.640 And I want to know what that point is.
00:07:20.100 Maybe we should have a national lottery.
00:07:21.800 How high the Liberal poll numbers have to go before Justin Trudeau will finally back down
00:07:25.960 to Donald Trump on this tariff issue.
00:07:28.440 Because that's where we are, folks.
00:07:30.580 Now, I want to talk about something he said about our minerals.
00:07:35.360 Okay?
00:07:36.180 Justin Trudeau said this about our critical minerals.
00:07:39.980 As I've said before, if President Trump wants to usher in a new golden age for the United
00:07:46.940 States, the better path is to partner with Canada, not to punish us.
00:07:54.980 Canada has critical minerals, reliable and affordable energy, stable democratic institutions,
00:08:03.700 shared values, and the natural resources you need.
00:08:08.240 I was passively listening to his speech last night because his voice is like nails on
00:08:14.340 a chalkboard.
00:08:16.280 You know, and I couldn't stand looking at the screen.
00:08:18.540 There's Dominic LeBlanc still babysitting Trudeau.
00:08:20.820 He used to be his babysitter.
00:08:21.820 And Melanie Jolie, they stand like mannequins behind him.
00:08:25.640 Yes, Mr. Trudeau.
00:08:27.020 Yes, Mr. Trudeau.
00:08:28.060 And then he said, we have critical minerals that the Americans need.
00:08:32.720 And I went, what?
00:08:33.700 Did he actually just say that?
00:08:35.700 And here's Shirley Gunn-Reed from Rebel News.
00:08:39.480 Unbelievable.
00:08:40.320 After spending 10 years demonizing and obstructing our natural resources and our energy, Trudeau
00:08:46.100 is bragging about how valuable they are to the Americans.
00:08:49.140 Absolutely right.
00:08:50.260 And that's exactly what I thought when I heard him say that.
00:08:54.700 And we're stuck right now, victim to tariffs from the United States of America, because we
00:09:01.100 don't sell stuff to anybody else, about 70 to 80% of all of our exports go to the United
00:09:06.120 States of America.
00:09:07.320 We are screwed because of Justin Trudeau.
00:09:09.780 I mean, this was a story that came out on January 30th.
00:09:14.320 Ditched resource projects.
00:09:15.880 An estimated $670 billion of investment lost in ditched resource projects since Trudeau became
00:09:21.980 prime minister, and he had the gall to say that last night in front of the nation and
00:09:26.440 the world.
00:09:27.740 So what are Donald Trump's gripes with Canada?
00:09:31.900 Well, he's talked about trade imbalances.
00:09:34.360 He's talked about fentanyl.
00:09:35.880 He's talked about the border.
00:09:37.640 And Justin Trudeau seems to be like a parrot or just repeating the same thing over and over
00:09:43.180 again.
00:09:43.640 It doesn't make things right.
00:09:45.100 Here is what he had to say about the border when asked about it.
00:09:50.560 We have one of the strongest, more secure borders in the world between Canada and the 0.56
00:09:58.560 United States.
00:09:59.820 As I said, less than 1% of fentanyl going into the United States come from Canada.
00:10:05.120 Less than 1% of illegal migrants going into the United States come from Canada.
00:10:10.720 That doesn't mean there isn't more to do.
00:10:13.180 And that's why we've invested $1.3 billion in strengthening our borders.
00:10:19.640 You can go back and watch videos I did five, six weeks ago and saying, if you want to solve
00:10:24.380 this issue with Donald Trump and not have tariffs coming in, close the damn border. 0.77
00:10:31.660 But Trudeau continues to talk about the 1% thing.
00:10:35.180 He seems to think that when he says it, Donald Trump's listening and Donald Trump is not listening
00:10:40.760 to him.
00:10:41.100 Who is Donald Trump listening to?
00:10:43.420 Well, Donald Trump has a border czar and we need one as well.
00:10:47.200 Just like Danielle Smith, my premier has suggested.
00:10:50.320 The border czar in the United States is Tom Homan and his job is to secure the border.
00:10:56.120 It's to get the people who they're illegally in the United States out and ensure that people 1.00
00:11:00.620 aren't coming in.
00:11:01.740 He was on with Tucker Carlson and this is what he said about our border.
00:11:06.140 How many came through Canada?
00:11:07.620 Do you know?
00:11:08.460 I don't have it off the top of my head, but I know the number, depending on what sector
00:11:12.920 you look at, is 600% to 800% increase on the northern border, specifically in upstate New
00:11:19.360 York where I grew up.
00:11:20.220 And I still have a home up there, so I'm very familiar with that area.
00:11:24.600 And I talk to border patrol chiefs up there all the time.
00:11:27.180 Northern New York has a huge problem.
00:11:30.320 And the problem with the northern border, a lot of SIAs come through the northern border.
00:11:36.120 They can afford to fly to Canada and cross the northern border, which is wide open because
00:11:40.560 there's a lot of border and very few agents.
00:11:43.220 So a lot of Indians, a lot of Pakistanis, a lot of Turkish come through the northern border.
00:11:47.400 So Trudeau's not listening to what Donald Trump's saying, and that's what he needs to do to solve
00:11:52.260 this problem.
00:11:52.800 I saw a video the other day with Lorne Gunter.
00:11:54.860 I'll try to find a link and put it in the description.
00:11:56.880 But he was talking about Trudeau going on and on about spending, what is it, $1.6 billion
00:12:01.080 on border security.
00:12:02.900 He says that's over six years.
00:12:04.460 And he said, we have two Black Hawk helicopters.
00:12:07.300 And he says, if they start in the middle and go out with maintenance and all the time
00:12:11.540 fueling and whatnot, it'll take three weeks for both of them to get to the end of the
00:12:15.140 border on either side of the country because it's 8,000 kilometers long.
00:12:18.320 Don't you think that somebody trying to break into the country will just wait until the
00:12:23.740 helicopter passes?
00:12:24.860 And that's true.
00:12:26.060 So this is a real issue and Trudeau is ignoring it and he needs to start listening or this is
00:12:30.840 going to go on and on and on.
00:12:32.340 Now, the other thing he was asked about was recalling Parliament.
00:12:36.920 And he also talks about supporting Canadians in this one.
00:12:40.340 And this one was a jaw dropper. 0.99
00:12:42.980 We need to recall Parliament.
00:12:44.220 We need to sit down and discuss this with our elected officials.
00:12:47.700 And that's right across the country.
00:12:49.760 And Trudeau doesn't seem to think that's a problem at all.
00:12:52.580 As you can see from our strong response package, as we spoke about with premiers this afternoon
00:13:02.860 and have for many weeks, we have the tools to be able to support Canadians through this
00:13:09.940 challenging time as it stands.
00:13:11.740 This is a moment for Canadians to pull together, including Canadians of all different political
00:13:19.160 parties.
00:13:19.620 I'm not a person who really likes to rely on government all that much, but I think we
00:13:25.160 need a functioning government right now when we don't have one.
00:13:27.460 And he says we don't need it.
00:13:29.380 Speaking with the premiers is all he needs.
00:13:32.500 I think the premiers have let us down.
00:13:34.180 I'll get into that in just a moment.
00:13:35.880 I've been saying that for quite some time since the first time they sat down to talk to Trudeau
00:13:39.540 about this.
00:13:40.100 Then he talks about we have the tools to support Canadian citizens.
00:13:43.400 If this goes on for very long, they've talked about pandemic type relief for this terrorist
00:13:49.980 situation.
00:13:50.580 That means spending more money.
00:13:52.280 That means driving up inflation.
00:13:54.040 That means giving you money and probably clawing it back like they did with those CERB payments.
00:13:59.420 It happened to me.
00:14:00.640 Maybe I'll talk about it sometime.
00:14:03.100 But this is where we are right now.
00:14:04.780 We need Parliament recalled right now.
00:14:07.580 And we need an election right now.
00:14:08.980 But Trudeau, he's not having any of it.
00:14:11.100 So the last thing I really want to get into here, and then I'll just kind of sum up,
00:14:15.400 was somebody asked him about talking to Donald Trump.
00:14:18.400 And one question was really missed by the reporters after he answered this.
00:14:23.460 Good evening, Prime Minister.
00:14:24.720 Stephanie Taylor with the National Post.
00:14:26.320 What does it tell you about your relationship with President Trump that you've been trying
00:14:29.780 to get a hold of him and he hasn't been speaking with you?
00:14:32.520 I think this is a time where we've all remarked on just how active President Trump has been
00:14:41.520 in engaging with a wide range of topics in his first weeks in office.
00:14:49.380 As you all know, I've had many, many good and substantive conversations with President
00:14:55.000 Trump over the past months.
00:14:56.400 So he's spoken to Trump many times.
00:14:59.000 But the question that was missed after this was, when was the last time you spoke with
00:15:02.680 Donald Trump?
00:15:03.360 He sent people down to Washington, but they haven't been speaking with the right people.
00:15:08.880 When was the last time you spoke with Donald Trump?
00:15:11.600 Because that would have given us an indication on how hard he was working on resolving this
00:15:15.600 issue.
00:15:16.060 Because the question he should have been asking Donald Trump is, what do I have to do so
00:15:19.420 we don't have these tariffs?
00:15:20.180 And can you push it back for a couple of weeks so we can put all of those measures in place
00:15:26.380 to avoid tariffs?
00:15:27.560 That's what he should have been saying.
00:15:28.540 But again, this is a way to raise poll numbers.
00:15:33.160 And it'll be interesting to see how the poll numbers go up or down over the next week.
00:15:37.700 The other thing that's interesting about this is Pierre Polyev has been campaigning since
00:15:42.900 he became the leader of the Conservative Party about a carbon tax election.
00:15:47.160 This isn't a carbon tax election anymore.
00:15:48.720 They have neutered him when it comes to that issue.
00:15:53.440 I mean, it's certainly in the back of Canadians' minds, but this is all about tariffs now.
00:16:00.440 $155 billion in tariffs, $30 billion now, the rest in 21 days.
00:16:03.960 So this is going to go on for at least three weeks.
00:16:06.340 It'll go on at least until March 9th when they pick a new leader.
00:16:10.500 We won't have government again until the 24th.
00:16:13.320 And God knows what's going to happen after that.
00:16:15.080 Now, as far as the premiers go, I said this in a video not long ago.
00:16:18.720 Now, the premiers should have just basically called for an election when they first sat
00:16:23.780 down to talk to him, the first Team Canada meeting with Trudeau.
00:16:27.580 We want an election.
00:16:28.560 We're not talking to you unless we have an election.
00:16:31.080 They should have stood strong last night and told Trudeau that we don't see you as the
00:16:34.500 leader of our country anymore.
00:16:35.660 You've resigned.
00:16:36.360 We don't have a functioning parliament.
00:16:37.940 You need to recall parliament now or we're not talking to you.
00:16:40.240 Unfortunately, a lot of these people in, like David Eby in B.C., I mean, he's restricting
00:16:46.640 purchases or bringing anything into B.C. from red states, from Republicans.
00:16:52.460 That's how petty this has become.
00:16:54.200 And Doug Ford is running on the same issue that Trudeau is using to bring up the Liberal
00:16:57.960 polls.
00:16:58.460 I'm standing up to Donald Trump.
00:16:59.840 So, really, we've got no unity when it comes to our premiers.
00:17:03.640 Danielle Smith is the only one who's been standing strong on this all along.
00:17:06.700 I think we're really in deep trouble right now.
00:17:09.420 And I'm mad about it.
00:17:11.620 This should not be happening.
00:17:13.540 And the fact that people think that Trudeau is some kind of hero for standing up last night
00:17:17.840 really sickens me and it should sicken you as well.
00:17:20.680 It's really, really sad.
00:17:22.980 And it's dangerous as well.
00:17:24.560 I don't know how this is going to affect me.
00:17:27.080 I don't know what I can do to soften the blow coming in from south of the border in Donald
00:17:34.140 Trump.
00:17:34.460 Now, if you're interested in seeing a video, this will really piss people off who like
00:17:38.040 Donald Trump.
00:17:38.980 I did a video the other day saying Donald Trump is Canada's greatest economic ally, even
00:17:44.060 with these tariffs come in.
00:17:46.500 Check out this card.
00:17:47.700 Click on it.
00:17:48.260 Watch that.
00:17:48.920 I'll leave some comments on that as well.
00:17:50.920 Tell me what you think of this one.
