00:00:00.000 hi and welcome to the candace malcolm show everyone i'm your host candace malcolm it is
00:00:11.560 great to be with you today we've got a lot of news to get to i just noticed on the calendar today is
00:00:16.620 january 14th and let me tell you my my anniversary my wedding anniversary is on january 18th my
00:00:22.920 husband and i got married in 2014 and so almost every year he mistakes our anniversary rather
00:00:28.980 than thinking it's on the 18th he thinks it's the 14th because he thinks back to our wedding
00:00:33.320 invitations or weddings some of our wedding memorabilia that says 1 18 14 and in his head
00:00:39.760 he just thinks january 14 even though it was 2014 um so this is like the first year uh probably in
00:00:46.160 our entire uh 11 years coming on 11 years being married that he hasn't accidentally tried to
00:00:51.040 celebrate our anniversary uh today so uh yeah we've got a big anniversary coming up on the weekend the
00:00:56.540 11th anniversary our 10th anniversary was last year but i was pregnant with our fourth child at
00:01:01.660 the time so we had a very subdued uh celebration lack thereof i mean i was like six months pregnant
00:01:06.480 and we didn't really want to do anything fun you know we imagined hey let's throw a big party and
00:01:10.820 invite all of our friends and family uh but when you're six months pregnant that's kind of the last
00:01:14.400 thing that you want to do so we decided we would have a bigger uh celebration this year but then
00:01:18.560 we totally forgot we dropped the ball we didn't plan anything again so we might have to do something
00:01:23.400 more fun i don't know maybe for the 15th anniversary or maybe we'll have to wait
00:01:26.960 until our 20th anniversary anyway i want to get to the news today and i think the big story coming out
00:01:33.480 of yesterday and today is that banker and world economic forum trustee board member mark carney
00:01:40.960 is going to be running for leader of the liberal party he is going to be the next prime minister of
00:01:46.660 canada mark my words he will be the next prime minister and he will be awful we're going to get to
00:01:52.100 all the details today thanks for tuning in don't forget to like this video subscribe to our channel
00:01:56.880 and consider leaving us a five-star review if you are enjoying our content okay so yesterday we saw
00:02:03.400 there was an article over in the hill times that said that mark carney is expected to launch his
00:02:08.600 liberal leadership bid in edmonton on thursday uh according to sources so it is coming it's going to
00:02:14.920 happen this week uh mark carney interestingly choosing edmonton i think he's doing the same thing that
00:02:20.020 christia freeland tries to do which is sort of like play up her alberta roots even though christia
00:02:25.720 freeland represents the downtown writing of toronto university rosedale where i used to live
00:02:30.080 um she she likes to talk a lot about the fact that she was born up in peace river and that she has
00:02:34.960 these modest alberta roots uh mark carney similarly was born up in the northwest territories uh but i believe
00:02:40.600 he spent some time in his childhood in edmonton his father was a liberal candidate in edmonton back in
00:02:46.400 the 1980s uh so he is kind of he's going to play up those ties he's going to pretend to be
00:02:51.760 an alberton and it's going to be nauseating uh really he did launch his campaign last night
00:02:57.080 on television interestingly enough american television mark carney went on to the tonight
00:03:02.780 show with john stewart remember that show it used to be like really culturally relevant like 15 years ago
00:03:07.620 like back in 2005 uh everybody watched it uh well guess what 20 years later it's still in the air
00:03:12.700 not very many people watch it uh but mark carney was there nonetheless and he really did sort of do
00:03:18.420 a soft launch of his campaign so here is what that looked like and you are of of the liberal party i am
00:03:25.260 of the liberal party yes are they looking for a new leader i i think they might be john sir may i recommend
00:03:34.180 to you with your charm and debonair uh wit yet strong financial backbone that you offer yourself
00:03:42.580 uh as have you offered yourself as as leader i just started thinking about it when you started
00:03:49.620 so i'm sorry i said the tonight show i meant the daily show the daily show with john stewart so
00:03:56.540 laying it on a little thick there uh john uh mark carney pretending that he hadn't really thought
00:04:01.160 about running even though his own aides are leaking to the press that he's going to be announcing his
00:04:05.800 leadership race on thursday so uh really it's interesting that these guys go to the u.s market
00:04:12.380 right like we're supposed to be told that they're proud canadians that the liberals love canada i mean
00:04:16.460 for heaven's sakes they fund the media they fund the media in canada and they tell us taxpayers
00:04:21.140 that it is so important that we fund the canadian media because they need our support they need
00:04:26.100 our help and yet when it comes to actually making appearances and announcements like this they go
00:04:31.380 down to the united states which uh kind of contradicts the whole message justin trudeau used to do the
00:04:35.960 exact same thing who could forget uh back in 2017 justin trudeau anytime he'd be facing a scandal at
00:04:42.300 home he would just pop down to the u.s do some glowing loving interview uh where some american
00:04:47.380 journalist would just fawn over him for being such an awesome woke leftist um and kind of just try to
00:04:53.220 distract from any of the scandals that he was facing at home so remember he was on the cover
00:04:57.200 of the rolling stones magazine oh look at the dreamy justin trudeau with a subtitle there why
00:05:03.260 can't he be our president he's he's just so progressive and he's so cute uh the americans just
00:05:09.160 disgusting just fawning over him it was gross then um and also justin trudeau right after he was
00:05:15.500 elected back in december 2015 who could forget this he went over to the new york times magazine
00:05:20.860 and he told the americans about this whole new vision of canada the headline there says trudeau's
00:05:26.940 canada again because of course canada used to belong to his daddy pierre trudeau and now he
00:05:32.600 canada belongs to a trudeau once again uh this time justin that was right at the beginning before
00:05:38.780 um any of the madness came to fruition but justin trudeau hinted about what it was that he believed
00:05:44.600 and that was where he made his infamous remarks calling canada the first post-national state who
00:05:51.120 couldn't forget that i'm going to read a little bit from that uh let me just pull it up here
00:05:56.660 post-national state there it goes he says that trudeau's critics say he's a lightweight and a
00:06:02.920 dangerous one trudeau's most radical argument is that canada is becoming a new kind of state
00:06:07.360 not defined by its european history but by the multiplicity of its identities from all over the
00:06:12.940 world his embrace of a pan-cultural heritage makes him an avatar of his father's vision there is no
00:06:19.180 core identity no mainstream in canada he claimed there are shared values these qualities are what
00:06:25.720 make us the first post-national state while trudeau's trudeau's uh guess his his his his little
00:06:33.920 snapshot into the future there back in 2015 it has come true we do live in a post-national state and
00:06:40.520 it is a hellscape it is just pure and simple um absolutely fallen apart under justin trudeau and
00:06:47.680 we should have known better he was saying it out loud to us back in 2015 uh this brings up a good
00:06:54.780 point made by my friend jj mccullough over on x he again picked up on the same kind of criticism which
00:07:00.720 is why do these guys go to the u.s so here uh jj says mark carney soft launching his campaign on the
00:07:07.460 daily show is wild it's the media equivalent of elite canadians going to private hospitals in the
00:07:13.160 u.s when they're sick when push comes to shove canadian elites shun the subsidized state-run
00:07:18.820 junk that they tell the rest of us uh to use yes that pretty much sums it up and i completely agree
00:07:25.320 with you jj okay let's go back to the daily show and see more of mark carney and uh what he has to
00:07:31.720 say about canada a little bit about why he is running uh he will be running for prime minister let's
00:07:36.560 play the first clip here there is a type of politician there's you have a few of them here
00:07:42.380 in the united states i think we just stop it yeah uh they had a lot in and around brexit yes and uh we
00:07:49.740 have mr polyeth uh in canada type of politician who's you know tend to be lifelong politician
00:07:54.840 really tend to worship the market they've never actually worked in the private sector right um and
00:08:01.500 they see opportunity and tragedy like you just had with the california fires these horrible fires
00:08:07.460 correct and they see opportunity and tragedy to push an agenda that here's one they prepared earlier
00:08:13.120 right and they and they fit it in and so uh whether it was brexit here often you know the star of the
00:08:18.940 beast type approach so pierre polyev when covet started his reaction was hmm this is a good time
00:08:27.080 to cut spending and cut taxes everyone's just been pushed out of a job nobody's got worked so let's
00:08:33.980 cut the taxes on the work they don't have and let's take away the social safety net when everybody's
00:08:39.100 vulnerable kind of doing his best barack obama impression there uh clearly the guy's running okay
00:08:45.880 and his complaints about pierre polyev you're going to see a preview of his campaign because this guy
00:08:50.700 if he if he runs which it looks like he will he will win he will win it will be a coronation by
00:08:55.240 the liberal party and this is a preview of what his attack is going to be against pierre polyev
00:08:59.900 in the general election it's going to be fear-mongering it's going to be all about how
00:09:03.800 this dangerous free market type he just wants to cut he's going to get rid of your beloved social
00:09:08.380 programs he just wants lower taxes for his rich friends uh sort of a preview there ironically you
00:09:14.240 know uh mark carney was advising justin true at the time they did the exact opposite of that they
00:09:19.080 turned on the floodgates of government spending first they shut down the economy and then they
00:09:23.340 turned on the floodgates of government spending to make up for the fact that they shut down the
00:09:26.320 economy and they didn't have the money so they started printing money out of control basically
00:09:31.180 completely drowning the canadian uh public in in extra money which drove up inflation uh so terrible
00:09:38.320 policies from from mark carney from justin trudeau during covid and here he is saying the opposite
00:09:44.220 that pierre polyev somehow would have made it a lot worse uh final clip i want to show and this one's
00:09:49.060 really really telling this is again how mark carney is going to be crafting his message to
00:09:54.940 canadians he's sort of uh testing it out here on the daily show let's play this clip and the headwinds
00:10:01.280 are like that it's really difficult for a candidate to come in who is saddled with the policies that are
00:10:07.900 on but let's say oh boy let's say just just just throwing out a look at you trying to preserve the
00:10:14.680 relationship a wild hypothetical let's say the candidate wasn't part of the government let's say
00:10:22.560 the candidate did have a lot of economic experience let's say the candidate did deal with crises let's
00:10:28.900 say the candidate had a plan to deal with the challenges in the here and now you sneaky
00:10:33.840 you're running as an outsider i am an outsider he's totally an outsider totally an outsider i like
00:10:40.700 how john uh john uh stewart there just says you're sneaky you're running to be an outsider kind of like
00:10:46.340 calling him on his bluff like yes he's sneaky and yes he's not actually an outsider this sort of allows
00:10:51.620 the conservatives to like the the attack ad kind of writes itself here because there are so many
00:10:56.860 articles in the legacy media that have come out over the last five six years that claim and that talk
00:11:01.980 about mark carney as an advisor we know that he was involved in the trudeau government he's not an
00:11:06.780 outsider uh here you see andrew lawton former uh host radio host and uh host here at the true north
00:11:12.060 center uh who's now gone on to become a candidate for the conservative party he posted this tweet uh
00:11:17.400 basically just mocking the idea that mark carney is an outsider it says mark carney you uh the un envoy
00:11:23.220 trudeau advisor uh godfather to christia freeland's child of course he's involved in the weef as well as
00:11:31.020 a trustee and he wants you to believe that he is an outsider to the government and an outsider to the
00:11:36.400 establishment of course the opposite is true this is so far from the truth we know that mark carney has
00:11:42.140 been advising trudeau like i said since at least 2000 and even just to go back to october going back as
00:11:49.180 recently as october just three months ago he was a guest on a podcast with a liberal mp nate smith
00:11:55.340 and he says right out he says outright that he is involved in the government he says that he is in the
00:12:01.060 trenches of politics that's not something in an outsider says outsiders aren't in the trenches
00:12:06.220 insiders are in the trenches let's play this clip you are now entering into partisan politics in a
00:12:12.580 you know you're not jumping right to a leadership position you're playing i don't know if you have a
00:12:17.380 view i'm in the trenches i'm in the trenches well one question i would have is do you see a value in
00:12:22.940 elected office as a backbencher or as an mp before a higher profile i mean there's you can't map these
00:12:31.860 things out of course there's of course there's value in that but let me let me pick up something
00:12:36.080 popped into my head while you were using that example so one of the the the knocks on me um that
00:12:43.320 the opposition uh makes or part of the opposition you're a wef global elite exactly i'm a wef global
00:12:50.280 john barrett is too but i don't know campaign coach here that never comes up you know um and you know
00:12:55.940 when uh he's banned his ministers from going to world economic forum events to cater to conspiracies
00:13:01.840 and you've been a board member for over a decade yeah i yeah i i've rolled off the board but that's
00:13:06.640 absolutely right i'm a board member there and i used to go there with the prime minister stephen harper
00:13:10.580 when you know he was there and etc um but let's let's be clear what you know my international
00:13:18.240 experience i understand how the world works you know i i know other world leaders i know uh people
00:13:25.600 and and i understand i know people who run some of the world's largest companies and understand how
00:13:30.800 they work i know how financial institutions work i know how markets work uh i know and i know the good
00:13:36.540 and bad of that i've experienced it i've had to in some of my roles discipline it uh discipline the
00:13:42.760 financial system discipline with others the world's largest banks the you know the wall street banks in
00:13:47.760 america after the crisis so i understand how the world works i'm trying to apply that to the benefit of
00:13:55.020 canada so there's a whole bunch to unpack from that clip but he clearly says that he's in the trenches
00:14:00.640 and he's very involved in what's happening in government and then he sort of doubles down and
00:14:05.800 takes a victory lap about his involvement in the world economic forum sort of brags about being a
00:14:11.340 weffer and the host there says you were on the board for over 10 years uh and then he kind of pivots to
00:14:16.860 talking about how he has run massive institutions how he's friends with all these bankers and how his
00:14:23.480 job is to discipline the bankers like he has a god complex and he is in charge of the entire market he
00:14:29.480 oversees it all um and so really not not the kind of person who is an outsider uh he he really is
00:14:35.560 mark herney really is an elite uh he he doesn't try to run away from that uh he he has his hands
00:14:41.100 involved in in very in many many aspects of government which we can get through all of that
00:14:47.160 but really uh strange to see him now just three months later trying to paint himself um as an outsider
00:14:52.640 when just a couple months ago he really was bragging about it i want to go back a little further
00:14:57.640 because again he's trying to distance himself from this train wreck of a government so that he can
00:15:02.280 run as an outsider uh but his own record is just as bad his own record apart from advising justin
00:15:09.480 trude on being a justin trudeau clone his own personal record is just as bad so mark carney was
00:15:16.060 the governor of the bank of canada he moved on and became the governor of the bank of england
00:15:20.560 um and then he now runs like he's a banker he runs a huge trillion dollar fund um and so here is a clip
00:15:27.440 of him this is really telling um uh in committee in a canadian committee back in 2021 sparring with
00:15:33.920 none other than pierre polyev polyev is trying to hold his feet to the fire for opposing pipelines in
00:15:40.400 canada but being in favor and investing in pipelines and oil development in the third world so here is mark
00:15:47.280 carney basically saying that oil is good in other countries but oil is bad in canada this is
00:15:53.120 unbelievable this clip i think is incredibly damning and perhaps a preview of what a uh federal election
00:15:59.440 will look like in 2025 so let's play that clip do you support the prime minister's decision to veto
00:16:06.160 the northern gateway pipeline mr carney uh i i understand the veto of the northern gateway pipeline
00:16:15.040 you support it given both environmental and commercial reasons do you support it i think
00:16:22.800 it's sensible i wasn't involved in the decision but i think it was the right decision and yet your
00:16:27.040 company has invested billions of dollars in oil companies in both brazil and the uae to buy pipelines
00:16:35.360 uh you've uh you bought uh billions of dollars of pipelines as a company in the last five years
00:16:41.280 do you support those investments uh mr polyev there is a global energy system and one of the issues
00:16:48.400 uh i'm trying to explain a bit of how the economy works uh one of the thank you so much well it may
00:16:54.480 help uh one of the issues for this committee and thinking about a sustainable transition you support
00:17:00.720 it where is canada's role in those in those uh as energy transitions from fossil fuels to renewables
00:17:08.480 and in different jurisdictions into different geography it matters it matters and this is a
00:17:14.320 fundamental point yeah no i'm sorry this is a fundamental so i'm sorry you're finally getting
00:17:19.360 the time point you've exceeded the time relevant to this committee's what you're what you're what
00:17:24.080 you're saying is you oppose pipelines in canada but you support them in the uae and in brazil
00:17:29.440 that's what you've actually said they're a specific that's your double standard it is not a double standard
00:17:34.560 so pierre just completely holds him to the fire completely accurate in exposing the mindset the
00:17:41.280 ideology of these sort of leftist elite bankers uh that oil needs to be phased out in canada that
00:17:46.960 we need to be modeling a green economy uh but in other parts of the world their emissions are going
00:17:51.760 up they can develop more uh oil and gas they can build pipelines and we'll even pay for them
00:17:56.240 um complete hypocrisy i i have a hard time imagining mark carney defending that because even there when
00:18:01.440 he was trying to defend it against pierre poliev he came across as condescending let me explain to
00:18:06.800 you pierre how the economy works like on his high horse that that's not going to fly with canadians
00:18:12.000 that's not what canadians want i can't imagine a less palatable uh person this this this uh you know
00:18:18.960 high-flying banker wanting to come in and become our prime minister uh likewise when it came to the
00:18:24.720 trucker convoy you guessed it mark carney came out on the absolute wrong side remember he was
00:18:30.960 he was advising justin trudeau at this time and it seems like his advice came through so mark carney
00:18:35.920 had an op-ed over in the globe and mail he said that he wanted the emergencies act deployed on canadians
00:18:42.320 and he wanted the bank accounts frozen and so this was uh from the uh trucker uh reporter the plug
00:18:48.800 reporter on x uh he says the globe the globe mail headline here said it's time to end the freedom
00:18:54.640 convoy in ottawa by enforcing the law and following the money and here's a quote from that piece it says
00:19:00.080 anyone sending money to the convoy should be in no doubt you are funding sedition canadian
00:19:06.560 authorities should take every step within the law to identify and thoroughly punish them well lo and
00:19:12.400 behold did mark carney had his way he he said it in the global mail in the pages of the global mail
00:19:17.920 and mere days later chrissy freeland froze the bank account and justin trudeau unleashed martial law
00:19:24.480 against peaceful protesters doing absolutely nothing wrong other than upholding their god-given
00:19:30.080 right to free protest freedom of protest freedom of expression freedom of assembly on the grounds of
00:19:36.880 parliament and justin trudeau showed us who he really is a tyrant and it seems like mark carney was
00:19:42.640 in his ear that's something else that mark carney is going to have to explain uh mark carney also again
00:19:49.040 you know this is a high-flying global elite it's no surprise that he has some questionable friendships
00:19:54.800 and questionable relationships so these posts uh started circulating online very very questionable
00:20:01.600 here is mark carney with none other than jelaine maxwell now those who aren't familiar with jelaine
00:20:08.240 maxwell she was a close friend and confidant of pedophile pervert jeffrey epstein and maxwell is
00:20:15.520 currently serving a 20 year sentence in prison for her role in sex trafficking including of
00:20:23.040 minors and he is mark carney carney chummy chummy side by side at an event talking to jelaine um over
00:20:31.360 and over four pictures of them together now true north reported on this and mark carney's people said that
00:20:38.640 mark carney is not friends with jelaine maxwell he downplays these photos and he just says that well you
00:20:45.360 know she went to school with my wife's sister and so we're sort of all part of the same circle of
00:20:50.960 friends but uh no i'm not friends with her and really downplayed um that relationship but that is
00:20:56.320 not the only questionable relationship that mark carney has uh over in the uk the daily mail reported
00:21:02.560 that mark carney was attending parties alongside disgraced prince andrew prince andrew also known as
00:21:10.240 being uh someone who is involved in the sex trafficking ring with the lines uh a minor has
00:21:16.160 accused him of having sex with her while she was a minor um and here prince andrew again reported in
00:21:21.440 the pages of the british press that prince andrew was paying mark carney to attend these lavish parties
00:21:29.120 at the time when carney was the bank uh the governor of the bank of england uh so really we're starting to
00:21:36.000 see who this person really is and that's not the only reporting out of the uk that really shines
00:21:42.000 some doubt onto mark carney you know he's supposed to be this brilliant banker uh well here is an
00:21:47.120 article in the spectator written by a financial columnist and author saying that mark carney is not
00:21:53.840 fit to be the canadian prime minister um and that is based on his record so let me just read a little
00:22:00.800 bit from this article he writes the trouble is it is now clear that mark carney was actually not very
00:22:06.640 good the bank made a whole series of mistakes under his management growth was considerably weak the bank
00:22:12.000 printed way too much money stoking an asset bubble and ultimately triggering the highest inflation rate
00:22:17.280 in the g7 it badly misjudged the impact of the uk's departure from the eu allowing itself to become
00:22:23.760 politicized as part of project fear it lost control of regulations came clear during the liability
00:22:30.240 driven investment crisis during the trust premiership and it allowed the city to start losing its
00:22:35.600 position as a leading financial center a trend that has accelerated since he left it has gotten
00:22:42.240 it's hardly a very inspiring record it has gotten even worse since with carney becoming one of the most
00:22:48.800 enthusiastic supporters of rachel reeves during her run for the election praising her he goes on and on
00:22:55.920 and just says that look it's true that he will make an easy opponent for the conservatives if he
00:23:01.200 does appear to take over as pm but the blunt truth is this he is not fit for the job and canada can do
00:23:08.720 much better ouch that stings that stings because again he's running on this record of being this
00:23:13.600 incredible banker who steered the british economy as a bank uh governor of the bank over there uh but
00:23:20.160 really it seems like the record was quite similar to canada just printing printing printing tons of money
00:23:24.720 which has spiraled us into an inflation crisis and you know the whole thing that's really interesting
00:23:31.200 is that he's trying to paint himself as an outsider trying to say he's very different than the current
00:23:36.400 government which sure he's not a cabinet minister so he'll have an easier time making distance between
00:23:41.520 himself versus someone like christia freeland but when it comes to people in the know they're saying
00:23:47.600 that he's exactly the same as justin trudeau so here is warren kinsella warren kinsella is
00:23:52.880 a partisan liberal insider and he wrote on x the other day he wrote that mark carney is the
00:24:00.320 the team trudeau candidate his campaign is being run by gerald butts katie telford etc the ones who had
00:24:06.880 to resign due to scandal or who've been implicit and implicated in multiple scandals the ones who
00:24:12.560 reduced the liberal party down to 16 he says that carney equals trudeau same people running the campaign
00:24:20.000 same people behind the scenes they're part of the same social circle don't be fooled that is also
00:24:24.720 the message coming from the conservative party of canada pierre polyev came out just saying that the
00:24:30.720 they're all justin we wrote about this over at true north here's a story they're all justin trudeau he
00:24:35.760 says of the liberal leadership candidates no matter which one you look at you will find justin trudeau
00:24:40.640 here is a clip of pierre polyev saying just that and so right before an election the liberal mps want to
00:24:49.600 elect another justin trudeau who has a different face they're all justin trudeau they're all just
00:24:59.840 like justin like justin in the next election i will be running against justin trudeau whether his
00:25:08.720 name is justin trudeau or his name is christia freeland or carbon tax carney or carbon tax clark
00:25:18.000 they will all be justin trudeau they supported everything he's done and they promised to keep
00:25:24.960 doing it and if they say otherwise we know they're lying because they would have done so earlier
00:25:32.720 so i that's going to be the that's going to be the line from the conservatives that no matter who
00:25:37.600 they're running as their candidate it's all the same we know their record they've been in office
00:25:41.680 for nine years they can't just sort of put on a fresh a shiny new face on the same failed policies
00:25:48.160 and i really do think that mark carney is the one that is going to win it seems like if he jumps
00:25:53.680 into the race uh barring some huge huge scandal that no one has has uncovered yet which i think
00:25:59.120 is doubtful at this time just given that he's had these high profile roles uh for such a long time
00:26:03.920 uh the the liberal the liberal membership will choose this guy uh he has the exact right pedigree for
00:26:10.160 liberals liberals just love these kind of elites they love people who went to harvard people who are
00:26:15.040 impressive in other countries people who have been successful in the uk or the us and mark carney sort of
00:26:20.320 checks all those boxes and we'll go through the we'll go through the roster of the other liberals
00:26:26.000 but let's just say it's not a very deep bench and the people who are running are not very serious so
00:26:32.480 let's go through it here melanie jolie has announced that she is not running few canada dodged a bullet
00:26:37.680 there dominic leblanc also not running and steve mckinnon is not running as well so you have a bunch of
00:26:44.160 these liberal cabinet ministers these hacks that didn't do a very good job um relieving to hear
00:26:49.120 that they're not running um thankfully the few that have announced that they are running we have
00:26:53.600 chris clark who is a former premier of british columbia you almost feel bad for her at this point
00:26:59.760 her campaign kickoff has been such a disaster almost as soon as she announced that she was going to be
00:27:05.760 running uh everything imploded everything imploded um because she got caught in the weirdest of weird
00:27:11.040 lies i don't understand why someone would lie when it's just so obvious that we're going to be able
00:27:16.480 to catch her in this lie so what was the lie christy clark said that she has never been a
00:27:22.960 member of the conservative party she calls herself a lifelong liberal um of course in canada you can't
00:27:28.320 be a member of two opposing parties and i guess the liberal bylaws itself says if you become a liberal
00:27:33.440 member you have to renounce being a member of any other party um and so you know just two years ago
00:27:39.440 christy clark was out there endorsing jean chere in the conservative leadership race jean chere the
00:27:44.960 former liberal quebec premier was running against pierre polyev to be the leader of the conservative
00:27:50.480 party christy clark was right in the middle of it endorsing jean chere and at the time even saying
00:27:56.880 that she was a member and so the cbc really quickly uh was able to basically just take her down so
00:28:03.120 i don't i don't compliment the cbc very often i don't i don't compliment them very lightly but
00:28:09.760 in this case uh they really caught christy clark in a very obvious lie so here's a clip
00:28:14.960 of her with cbc journalist catherine cullen where cullen just kind of backs her into a corner
00:28:20.880 and exposes the lie let's play that clip you have called yourself a lifelong liberal but you voted in
00:28:27.680 the last federal conservative leadership race that would have required you to cancel your liberal party
00:28:32.400 membership in order to join the conservative party how long were you a member of the conservative
00:28:37.040 party christy clark never but you vote you you there you voted in the race did you not no i didn't
00:28:43.200 i didn't and i i never got a membership and um i never got a ballot what i did though i will say
00:28:49.360 christy clark we reached out to the conservative party who told us in fact that your membership was
00:28:53.600 canceled oh well why don't they show come out and show my membership or my ballot they never sent me
00:29:00.080 any of those although i wouldn't put it past them to manufacture one of them okay so i just don't
00:29:05.920 understand why you would lie about something this christy clark is so confident in her lot like she's
00:29:10.000 so bold-faced that she would just say never i've never been a member never been a member um i'm sorry
00:29:15.120 but we're going to find out the truth it's been written about in the news you can't hide from that
00:29:19.760 and so almost immediately you have jenny byrne who's running the conservative campaign right now
00:29:24.400 she shows up with receipts she posts an article from the canadian press in august 2022 saying that
00:29:32.400 christy clark was going to be voting for jean chariot that she was a candidate that she had gotten her
00:29:42.160 i mean that that's two that's two and a half years ago so why would you come out and lie and be so
00:29:46.880 bold about it uh jenny byrne showing up with even more receipts she posted this on x as well which is
00:29:52.960 from the conservative database showing that christy clark was indeed a member of the party
00:29:58.000 a paid member back in 2022 to 2023 so pretty easily pretty easy to debunk something like this christy
00:30:06.160 clark i don't understand why you would lie it kind of gives us a little insight into the mind of these
00:30:11.280 politicians who are just so used to lying and lying is so easy for them that they just it just comes out
00:30:16.960 without even thinking it through you know there was no there was no even hint that she was lying
00:30:22.160 because she was so confident in what she was saying but it turns out to totally have been a lie
00:30:27.200 and christy clark had to do a little mia culpa here and admit that she had been caught in a pathetic
00:30:33.920 ridiculous lie here she is on x saying well i misspoke misspoke is a politician uh word for lying
00:30:41.600 uh she says as hit happens lesson learned i've always been clear that i support jean chariot to stop
00:30:47.120 pier polio not backing away from that so she's just thinking that she is just going to keep on
00:30:54.320 running sorry to tell you as as fast as you announced that you were going to be running for this party
00:30:59.680 leadership it's over no one's gonna vote for you uh her campaign went down in flames there on friday
00:31:05.040 afternoon uh so it's not just uh christy clark that's getting caught in weird lies uh it seems to be a
00:31:10.560 trait uh by these liberals and another candidate running here named uh chanda ara who is a liberal
00:31:16.640 mp um really remarkable interview that he did he went on cbc and basically just told the host david
00:31:24.160 cochran um that it's not important to speak french that french isn't really important in the liberal
00:31:28.960 party it's not that important in quebec and he's fine he he knows quebecers um better than anybody else
00:31:36.000 and that's why he's going to be prime minister let's see this clip how's your french no no no
00:31:41.920 french no french okay the liberal party of canada is the party of official bilingualism it's going to
00:31:45.920 be a tough one i i don't speak french either so i i you know the point is that whether the quebecers
00:31:50.480 or english canadians it's not the language that matters is what is that they deliver to them but
00:31:56.000 the language matters very much in quebec no at the end of the day quebecers see who delivers what you
00:32:01.600 know we have english speaking french fluent uh prime minister for all the time one of the things
00:32:07.200 that matters to quebecers are being a sovereign country a sovereign republic yeah and which uh
00:32:12.960 prime minister has ever talked about that mr area if you're going to run for prime minister i mean
00:32:17.680 you have to know that the french language matters and the french it matters in quebec
00:32:22.320 trust me profoundly trust me at the end of the day for french canadians and english canadians
00:32:27.360 the matters most is that how the children and grandchildren are going to prosper in this country
00:32:31.840 that is the thing that matters just when you think a liberal politician can't be any more arrogant uh
00:32:38.640 there comes another politician even more arrogant hearing that guy say that french isn't that important
00:32:44.080 in quebec um that english that quebecers are english canadian what what does that even mean i mean look
00:32:50.880 if you're running the conservative party i don't think it's necessarily all that important that you
00:32:54.320 speak french it's a good thing but it's not mandatory because the conservatives don't represent quebec they
00:32:59.120 never really win in quebec quebec quebecers don't really like the conservative party uh that's a
00:33:03.440 different story with the lips the libs need quebec if you are a liberal politician who has any hope
00:33:08.400 in becoming prime minister you basically have to sweep quebec and so this guy coming out here uh
00:33:13.600 saying that it's not important so out of touch so so dumb just terrible dumb and of course he's lying
00:33:18.240 about it too uh because his own mp website uh at the house of commons says right there at the bottom
00:33:24.160 preferred language english and french well he he admitted on the cbc that doesn't actually speak
00:33:28.720 french so he was lying uh he he hardly you know even saying that he's fluent in english a bit of a
00:33:33.360 stretch because you have a very hard time uh understanding the guy in that interview what a mess
00:33:39.200 what a disaster so who else do the liberals have well christia freeland the uh former finance minister
00:33:45.600 is expected to run she's expected to announce sometime around trump's inauguration so here is
00:33:52.000 a ctv report saying that she's expected to announce her bid next week i don't see it happening christia
00:33:57.840 freeland uh you know what you froze the bank accounts of the truckers so you're never going to
00:34:01.840 get my support uh but again you know you were too close to trudeau you were his right-hand man you
00:34:07.200 were the deputy prime minister through some of the worst parts of justin trudeau's time as prime minister
00:34:12.960 uh and you know she's got her own weird personal thing going on that i don't think is going to
00:34:17.760 appeal to canadians there's a couple of other also rands people who you probably have never heard of
00:34:22.960 because i do this stuff for a living and i had barely heard of these people there's an individual
00:34:27.280 called frank bayless who announced that he was running um not a great track record for this
00:34:33.520 individual there was a story um written by true north uncovered by our great journalists over there
00:34:39.120 from 2020 saying that a company that was owned by this former liberal was awarded a 400 000 contract
00:34:47.120 of course that's what the liberals do best is make their friends and the insiders rich uh so that's
00:34:53.280 that's gonna sting uh another um person announcing that they were going to run for the liberals is an
00:34:59.360 individual called jamie batiste he wants to be the first um indigenous prime minister um and he
00:35:08.320 announced that he will be running a couple of others considering running uh francois philippe
00:35:13.600 champagne says that he's considering it and he's going to make a decision uh some point in the next
00:35:19.520 days here also uh katrina gould is considering uh seriously considering uh running she says well
00:35:27.520 that would be a bit of a disaster someone else who is not running and this is going to bring us to
00:35:32.000 a bit of a fun story here uh anita anand the defense minister the god-awful terrible uh defense
00:35:38.480 minister has announced on saturday that she will not be running for the liberal leadership and she's
00:35:44.000 done with politics she's not seeking re-election she is out and gone never any accountability for
00:35:50.320 these people they just sort of sail off into the night uh that you know they they came into office
00:35:55.280 they destroyed canada they ruined our lives and then they're just going to go off and collect their
00:35:59.680 pension and move on to the next chapter of their life and now this gets into a fun get it i wasn't
00:36:05.280 sure if i was going to cover this controversy to be perfectly honest because it's a little silly
00:36:09.520 and i think it's the whole thing is manufactured as a bit of a distraction um the legacy media would
00:36:14.240 so much rather be talking about conservative infighting than they would the disaster happening
00:36:19.600 the clown show happening over there with the liberal party uh or you know anything to do with
00:36:23.920 our economy um and anything else happening so this was kind of um a mountain made out of a molehill
00:36:30.640 but anyways uh when anand anita announced announced that she was not going to be running um erin o'toole
00:36:36.960 who's the previous leader of the conservative party jumped in and thanked anita anand for her service
00:36:43.440 he writes i saw the dedication anita anand brought to national defense at a time it was desperately needed
00:36:50.480 she cared deeply about the canadian air the caf their families and the need for canada to do more
00:36:58.880 i wish her fair winds and following seas so erin o'toole just sort of gushing there in a beautiful
00:37:05.840 note um written to someone who was really a disaster um in this role and that is when jenny burn who is
00:37:13.520 running the conservative party right now she is the top advisor to pierre polyev and she was also that
00:37:19.600 role back um in the harper years so she's she's back running the party um and she jumps in and
00:37:24.960 just tells the truth says it like it is um she says for anyone unsure why erin o'toole is no longer
00:37:31.680 leader of the conservative party points down to this tweet says she supported dei policies like name
00:37:38.400 rank and pronouns tampons in the men's bathrooms etc so yeah jenny burn pointing out two truths here
00:37:46.800 one that the woke policies of the liberal government have been a disaster it is so embarrassing to have
00:37:53.040 a military that is focused on things like pronouns and tampons for men yes you heard that correctly
00:37:59.200 tampons for men true north was one of the first ones reporting on that story which is entirely true
00:38:05.360 the government put tampons in male bathrooms uh somebody needs to fill me in and tell me what it is
00:38:11.440 that men need tampons for uh but i digress uh so pointing out that the libs were terrible and aaron
00:38:19.360 o'toole is congratulating them and saying you did a wonderful job let's just ignore all the woke stuff
00:38:25.040 um that you did and let's just celebrate you uh for being a great leader uh showing us why aaron
00:38:32.160 o'toole was not a very good leader look i think aaron o'toole is a decent enough guy but he was very bad
00:38:37.520 at leading the conservative party because he wasn't very conservative he wasn't he wasn't tied
00:38:42.000 to his conservative positions as soon as the election happened he was more than happy to throw
00:38:46.800 everyone under the bus take every liberal position that he could um and so you know it's no wonder why
00:38:52.640 the conservatives lost in 2021 no wonder why we have a much stronger leader of that party at this moment
00:39:00.960 and then what do we see there was just so much hand-wringing like everybody on x had an opinion on
00:39:06.080 this they were trying to highlight it and and read into it and talk about how oh the conservatives are
00:39:11.920 just mean nasty people now and jenny jenny burn is just a mean person uh the reality is jenny is right
00:39:18.640 she is one hell of an organizer she is incredible asset for the party um and so i think that the
00:39:25.280 liberals would love to just be able to cancel her or again be able to focus on this infighting rather
00:39:30.160 than focus on uh the important things happening in our country and so you know jenny bird is right
00:39:36.480 and that's all i'll say about that let's move on uh interestingly enough an interview uh of stephen
00:39:41.840 harper surfaced i think he did this interview over the weekend and he did a very good job explaining
00:39:49.040 very succinctly what happened to the liberals like what happened to this party which not that long ago
00:39:54.640 back in 2015 so just less than 10 years ago they won a sweeping majority uh canadians across the
00:40:01.120 country uh gave their support they believed in justin trudeau they thought that there were they
00:40:05.920 saw something in justin trudeau that they were inspired by that they believed in they liked his
00:40:10.000 policies they liked the party so how did we get from that from that 2015 glow uh down to the depths
00:40:16.880 today where basically uh justin trudeau has to run and hide because he cannot run an election
00:40:22.640 and his party is in absolute shambles that we've spent most of the show today just talking about
00:40:28.560 all uh the the ridiculousness coming out of the liberal party so here is that clip of stephen harper
00:40:34.720 just explaining what went wrong with the liberals history been in perspective you know trudeau came in
00:40:41.600 in 2015 won a big majority we've been in office for a decade but he really ran as a centrist um didn't run
00:40:49.760 as a far leftist um you know tried to convince everybody that all the things they liked about
00:40:55.120 our government would be maintained and a few things would be changed of course the government
00:40:59.920 then went to the far left almost immediately and has since lost its majority in parliament in 2019
00:41:08.160 frankly lost its majority in two consecutive elections that i i personally think our party should
00:41:13.200 have won but he actually had his wings clipped unfortunately then the far left party in parliament
00:41:18.480 talked about which is why um you know this thing ended up going five years longer than it should
00:41:24.960 have with frankly a lot of damage to the country and and look you know i'm obviously a biased source
00:41:32.080 but i think if you look at the economic statistics statistics the damage is undeniable so um you know
00:41:38.560 that's the that's the situation we're in and you know it's it's kind of interesting at this point
00:41:46.400 because back in 2011 when stephen harper won his majority he decimated the liberal party right the
00:41:52.640 liberal party was not the official opposition after that election it was the ndp the ndp sort of surprised
00:41:58.560 everyone uh jack layton at the time the leader really captured the imagination of a lot of people
00:42:03.920 in quebec and you ended up with a lot of these quebec mps who had basically no business being in
00:42:09.600 parliament people who just kind of wrote their name down and signed up to be candidates thinking that
00:42:13.920 there was no chance that they would win and then this huge orange wave swept across quebec and you
00:42:18.480 ended up with a lot of very young junior sort of inexperienced people as parliamentarians over there
00:42:24.640 but the liberal party was decimated partially because they ran such a terrible candidate michael
00:42:29.680 ignatyev remember that guy uh kind of seeing michael ignatyev tones in uh mark carney here uh but but
00:42:36.720 nonetheless uh the party was decimated and it was unclear that they were really had had a role in canadian
00:42:42.880 public life you know like why do we need all of these left-wing progressive parties right
00:42:48.320 justin trudeau came back resuscitated the party in large part because of his famous last name and his
00:42:53.200 famous father um and not to mention sort of his his good looks and his you know aspirational ideas
00:43:00.400 um but at the time he he resuscitated the party and to harper's point he ran much more as a centrist
00:43:06.880 uh yes he wanted deficits but remember he said modest deficits he wanted a 10 billion dollar deficit
00:43:12.000 that he said that he was going to a race within the first few years uh well we all know how that
00:43:16.320 went and how sideways it all went um but basically the liberals are supposed to be a centralist party
00:43:22.160 and now they're even further to the left you could argue than the ndp why does canada need all these
00:43:26.880 left-wing parties why do we need multiple left-wing parties we basically have four hard left parties
00:43:31.840 in parliament right now you have the liberals you have the ndp the green party which is deranged far
00:43:38.000 left fringe um and then you also have the bloc quebecois which is supposed to be pantylogical
00:43:42.480 party uh but most of their views and most of their positions are hard left sort of anti-canadian oil
00:43:48.720 sands anti uh resources and you you kind of wonder about the future of this party without trudeau you
00:43:54.720 know you have the famous guy keeping it all together and i do wonder after the next election uh which
00:44:00.240 of the two parties is going to get decimated it might be the ndp they really deserve to get decimated
00:44:04.720 with a leader like jagmeet singh uh but then you have to look at all this sort of institutional
00:44:09.200 corruption and all these terrible people involved in the liberal party and it really does make you
00:44:14.640 wonder uh whether the liberal party should exist at all all right let's uh let's move on i want to
00:44:20.800 talk a little bit about the meeting that took place yesterday or over the weekend with danielle
00:44:26.160 smith alberta premier and u.s president incoming president donald trump we covered that in depth on
00:44:32.880 our show yesterday so if you missed it go check out that episode we went through everything um and
00:44:38.400 detailed the entire visit well there's a little update uh from that because yesterday in her press
00:44:43.680 conference danielle smith was asked how did you end up in mar-a-lago did trump reach out to you directly
00:44:48.800 uh with an invitation or what were you doing there basically and danielle smith let us know that she came
00:44:54.160 as a guest of kevin o'leary uh famous uh canadian investor um shark tank host kevin o'leary one of the
00:45:01.680 sharks one of the investors of that show someone who's been speaking out about the trump threats
00:45:07.120 and actually making a lot of sense and so it turns out that kevin o'leary is a friend of donald trump's
00:45:12.480 kevin o'leary is also a friend of danielle smith and he made that connection and allowed them to have
00:45:19.040 that meeting allowed daniel smith to do a bit of diplomacy do something that the liberals and the elites
00:45:24.560 in this country have completely failed to do which is try to make some inroads and be make a bit of a
00:45:29.360 friendship with the president-elect down there so here is kevin o'leary explaining uh to canadians
00:45:36.400 that danielle smith was ahead of the curve that she is the only politician in canada doing the right
00:45:42.560 thing going down and trying to make a personal relationship and friendship with donald trump
00:45:47.280 here's that clip she's the only politician in canada now that has a personal relationship with
00:45:54.560 trump and many of his cabinet why she took the time to come down to mar-a-lago for a couple of days
00:46:01.840 and work the room that woman knows how to work a room it was described by critics as oh she just met
00:46:09.440 him at the table it was just going by to kiss the rain there was no substance there you were there
00:46:15.120 i she was there for two days she had multiple chances to talk to trump you don't you're not
00:46:21.520 going to get a lot of time there's a thousand people trying to meet him from all around the world
00:46:26.560 you don't have to go to davos anymore no point getting on a plane and going to zurich you just
00:46:31.040 have to get to mar-a-lago that's what you have to do she got plenty of time with him and more
00:46:36.320 importantly as importantly i should say with many of his cabinet she worked the room she's way ahead of
00:46:43.920 anybody else in canada right now she's smart to have done that and so you know you got everybody
00:46:49.200 throwing barbs at trump they don't have a relationship with them monday they might
00:46:53.920 but right now she's the leader of the pack the leader of the pack there you have it i think that
00:47:00.560 kevin o'leary is right i think that he is one of the people who have been making the best points
00:47:05.120 making the most sense when it comes to how canada should deal with trump the reality is that we need
00:47:10.640 the united states we need the united states we need that relationship america is going to have
00:47:15.120 a big boom under trump because he is going to cut regulations cut the size of government
00:47:20.240 and canada needs canada needs help our economy is on lifeline and we need to start making a
00:47:25.760 partnership making deals and danielle smith doing what justin trudeau can't do justin trudeau went down
00:47:30.960 there and made everything worse became the butt of the joke that's when all the governor trudeau
00:47:35.920 jokes started coming out from trump the 51st state stuff came after trudeau's meeting with trump
00:47:42.240 because trudeau just can't help himself he's arrogant and anti-american that's that's that's
00:47:46.800 how you would describe justin trudeau he's arrogant anti-american he doesn't like americans he hates
00:47:51.920 people like donald trump he can't contain his anger even for the good of the country he couldn't even fake
00:47:56.240 a smile fake a friendship uh incapable of doing something like that daniel smith was the one capable of
00:48:03.520 doing it and thank goodness for that so you have on the one side people who are actually being
00:48:08.480 helpful and trying to make inroads over there and then the other hand you have people who are just
00:48:13.760 completely irresponsible and trying to make everything worse and of course right now i'm
00:48:17.760 talking about ndp leader jagmeet singh who just i can't wait until the next election because i just
00:48:24.800 really hope this person loses any kind of relevancy uh you know if there's any justice in the world
00:48:30.960 he will not be in any kind of position of power any balance of power hopefully not even an mp because
00:48:36.480 he's just terrible but jagmeet singh chimed in he just really wants to be part of the conversation
00:48:41.040 he wants to put on the tough guy role and just pretend that he's an equal to donald trump who's
00:48:47.040 doing this shtick yesterday where he wants canada to impose tariffs just as bad as the us because uh oh
00:48:52.960 yeah that'll help um and now he's saying that he wants us to do embargoes and including to cut off
00:48:59.680 our minerals so he just wants to completely cut off from the united states i wonder who uh jagmeet
00:49:04.720 singh would prefer that canada trade with like if we're going to be turning our back on america who
00:49:09.360 does he want us to realign with does he want us to engage in a relationship with china have a deeper
00:49:15.040 integration with china maybe deeper integration with russia i mean we don't have a lot of options
00:49:19.200 here when it comes to big trading partners uh but just jagmeet singh just seems totally willing
00:49:24.640 and interested in blowing up that relationship so here is this tough guy video that he put out
00:49:30.480 yesterday donald trump is a clear threat to canada his tariff threats are directly threatening
00:49:39.120 hundreds and thousands of canadian jobs they also threaten to increase the cost of living at a time
00:49:43.840 when people are already struggling with the cost of groceries and the cost of their bills so it is
00:49:49.600 serious we have to take it seriously and that's why uh what we've seen again and again has not
00:49:55.600 worked going to meet with them trying to wine and dine him is a failed approach donald trump is not
00:50:01.440 rational you can't discuss a plan over a meal with him he is a bully and bullies understand one thing
00:50:08.880 that is that is strength they also understand pain so if he wants to pick a fight with canada we
00:50:14.720 have to make sure it's clear that it's going to hurt americans as well there's going to be pain felt
00:50:19.440 for not just canadians but also americans and so that's why i'm calling on uh on my plan we know
00:50:26.240 that the united states needs our critical minerals they're very important for the united states so i'm
00:50:31.760 calling on all political leaders to support turning off the taps on those critical minerals let's stop
00:50:37.920 the flow of those critical minerals into the states this is there's no quicker way to get donald trump to
00:50:43.440 back away from tariffs than to shut off the tap on critical minerals with the state's need very clearly
00:50:49.440 so this is just so ironic here you have jagmeet singh the guy who has advocated shutting down
00:50:57.360 canadian mines who doesn't want us to mine our own minerals he doesn't want us to develop our oil sands
00:51:02.640 but yet he's happy to use these resources as a bargaining chip to try to stay relevant in the
00:51:07.520 conversation here so he wants canada to shut off sales of critical minerals and metals of course he
00:51:13.120 doesn't say exactly which ones or why or how a targeted approach would be it doesn't really even
00:51:19.040 seem like he's thought this one through um justin trudeau sorry jagmeet singh it's just not a serious
00:51:26.080 proposal he's not a serious person he won't even give the details of this and again it just shows why
00:51:31.520 this person should be nowhere near the negotiating table nowhere near donald trump please just hide him
00:51:36.800 just keep him away we only have a few more weeks or a few more months into an election hopefully loses then
00:51:41.280 uh just everybody keep this guy away uh from the people in power from the people in uh control
00:51:48.960 okay folks i want to get to one last thing here so as you know friday was my first show back first show
00:51:55.600 of 2025 first show after my maternity leave i have a little seven and a half month old uh baby and so
00:52:02.080 i've been off for the last eight eight and a half or nine months or so and i was so pleased uh to hear so
00:52:07.600 many of the comments uh from you i saw all across social media people on x on youtube uh on facebook
00:52:14.880 on instagram everyone uh sending me really nice messages saying welcome back great to see you back
00:52:19.920 uh but not everybody was happy to see me back not everybody uh was so welcoming and so kind uh as as the
00:52:27.600 audience here and uh one person who was really not happy not happy at all that i was back uh is globe and
00:52:33.840 mail columnist andrew coin he's a talking head over on cbc as well he took my podcast that i posted on
00:52:40.720 friday he quote tweeted it so he shared it to his followers which i'm appreciative of um but uh with
00:52:48.560 with the following comments which i will read to you here he writes trump's declaration of economic
00:52:55.040 war on canada has caused many on the right to distance themselves from him but not the folks at true
00:53:00.800 north who remain loyal to trump and then uh he quotes part of the copy that we had written here
00:53:07.440 it says the hysterical this is uh what my show was about so quoting what my show is about talking about
00:53:12.480 the hysterical reaction from our politicians and pundit class the few people who get it and why many
00:53:19.200 canadians are taking trump seriously on his proposal so that is just beyond the pale uh beyond anything for
00:53:28.800 andrew coin he finds it unfathomable that i would write that uh let me just clarify a few things uh
00:53:35.040 to you here andrew look i am not um supporting donald trump i don't remain loyal to donald trump
00:53:42.560 at all that's not what i was saying uh when i was talking about the few people who get it i was talking
00:53:47.360 about the people who understand the way that trump talks the way that trump talks remember the quote that
00:53:51.760 i gave from peter thea which is to take trump seriously but not always literally and the people who i said
00:53:58.480 got it and understood it or kevin o'leary who's been talking about how there is a deal to be made
00:54:03.360 and canada should lean into this friendship and relationship with the united states and someone
00:54:08.160 like doug ford i don't agree with much that doug ford says i don't i don't like him as premier of
00:54:12.480 ontario but i think when it came to trump he kind of he kind of got it he was on a better track than
00:54:17.200 most of the other leaders when he was saying let's create fortress can-am let's build a huge economic
00:54:24.480 and national security partnership and so those are the people who i said got it um and and yes
00:54:29.600 it's true i'm not one of those people but i know that there are plenty of canadians out there who
00:54:35.440 would take trump seriously on this on this proposal who would actually want to see canada become a 51st
00:54:42.160 state because the reality is that canada has gone so downhill over the last 10 years it doesn't really
00:54:47.600 feel like our country like it used to um our charter of rapes and freedoms did not protect our freedoms
00:54:52.960 during covid um and there are so many so many other problems uh with the socialist sort of elite
00:54:58.480 class in our country that many canadians would actually prefer to just do something different
00:55:02.880 i'm not one of those canadians i love canada let's just be clear i think that canada should remain
00:55:08.240 um independent but andrew coin just just super super grumpy super grumpy about um me being back my show me
00:55:16.800 representing or at least uh reporting on the fact that there is a segment of the population who would
00:55:22.480 happily go and join the united states um and that some of the people who are making sense when it
00:55:27.920 comes to dealing with trump are conservative people i would add daniel smith to that list now
00:55:32.800 as well people who are trying to talk through the noise uh focus on the signal and making that
00:55:38.880 relationship good and better as a side note i did invite andrew coin to be a guest on the podcast
00:55:44.480 um he has not yet responded uh to my message but if he ever wants to come on the show he has a standing
00:55:49.360 invitation uh to join me we can have this debate in real time so andrew coin i know you're listening
00:55:54.400 to the show i know that you watch the show because you like to post about it on social media so if
00:55:58.960 you're watching right now the offer stands you are welcome to be a guest on my show at any time i would
