Juno News - Candice RIPS the CBC for pushing absolute nonsense about Premier Smith

00:00:00.000 all right folks so while premier smith is doing incredibly important and powerful things in

00:00:07.760 alberta canada's state broadcaster is doing what they do they sink even lower and lower and

00:00:13.280 yesterday they put out a ridiculous pathetic attempted hit job against premier smith and

00:00:19.660 this was just totally fell flat okay so here is the report the idea is that they i guess put in

00:00:26.200 an access to information or freedom of information request and found out that premier smith's trip

00:00:30.740 to mar-a-lago earlier this year to visit president trump cost taxpayers about ten thousand dollars

00:00:38.180 that's the bombshell ten thousand dollars for premier smith's visit and they try to drum this up

00:00:43.760 into a huge controversy like how dare she waste this money and put on the whole and this is this 0.96

00:00:51.260 is fake news to a t this is why the cbc has no credibility this is why it needs to be defunded

00:00:55.920 this is one of the worst reports that i have seen just total fake news trying to create a scandal

00:01:01.240 where there is none trying to just pick on one politician because they don't like her because 1.00

00:01:05.460 she's just too conservative for the cbc or whatever and it just completely backfires so let's play this

00:01:11.340 clip and i will walk you through just how terrible it is in case it wasn't obvious enough to you for

00:01:15.620 just watching it but i'll point out the extra obnoxious ridiculous parts of it let's play this cbc

00:01:21.660 report well as canada's prime minister prepares for his meeting with donald trump we're learning

00:01:27.280 more today about a meeting in early january between alberta's premier daniel smith and trump

00:01:32.720 who went and how much did it cost we know it took place at trump's residence in palm beach florida

00:01:38.880 and as julia wong tells us some critics are raising questions about whether taxpayers received good value

00:01:45.100 for their money alberta premier daniel we just just wait just wait before we go to this reporter

00:01:51.120 you can just see the way she sets it up like we are learning this information and some people are

00:01:56.260 wondering if taxpayers get good value for their money give me a break give me an absolute break

00:02:01.840 ten thousand dollars for a diplomatic meeting that actually had a huge consequences on alberta and

00:02:07.780 taxpayers which i'll explain in a bit but just the entire setup of this again just shows you how

00:02:12.880 ridiculous the cbc it's like they're cosplaying journalism but it's really just anti-conservative

00:02:17.740 activism promoting the carny liberals at all costs and it's just so it's so transparently obvious

00:02:23.720 okay let's resume this clip premier danielle smith has called her meeting at mar-a-lago with then 0.97

00:02:28.680 president-elect donald trump constructive now more details are emerging about the trip itself

00:02:34.300 the visit in early january took place before trump became president and came as a trade war with the

00:02:40.680 united states loomed smith has said she emphasized the mutual importance of the u.s canada energy

00:02:46.820 relationship and that she had discussions with key allies documents obtained by cbc news through a

00:02:52.940 freedom of information request outlined smith made the trip to trump's florida golf club with two

00:02:58.480 government staffers and alberta's senior representative to the united states and records

00:03:03.120 show the roughly 48 hour visit cost taxpayers more than ten thousand dollars what i asked the president

00:03:09.540 was do you want to buy more oil and gas from from canada and he said yes concerns have been raised

00:03:14.140 about the cost and value of the trip cbc news just pause it right there pause right there concerns have

00:03:19.760 been raised about the cost and the value really by who by which credible sources is there is there

00:03:24.620 like a huge uprising of concerned citizens saying like how dare she spend i'm sorry ten thousand dollars 1.00

00:03:31.700 ten thousand dollars and she brought two staff okay two two two staffers and the premier they went all 0.67

00:03:37.860 the way to florida had a whole bunch of meetings i interviewed premier smith and i asked her about

00:03:43.160 this i asked her about a report that was in the calgary sun that when president trump walked into

00:03:47.800 the room at mar-a-lago he has these big kind of ball state ballrooms uh ballroom dinners full of

00:03:53.340 dignitaries and full of people who just want to meet the president and when he saw premier smith he

00:03:57.900 beelined to her went right up to her and started talking to her and she confirmed that that was true 0.90

00:04:02.280 and that they did have a constructive meeting think about folks just think about how much money

00:04:06.420 the ontario government the federal government every other government is spending on lobbyists is

00:04:11.760 spending on like literally just pouring out american-made alcohol that they had already

00:04:15.980 purchased right like think about all the wastefulness that has gone into this insane elbows up movement

00:04:21.600 this mass hysteria over the united states and then compare that to ten thousand dollars for an incredibly

00:04:28.060 constructive meeting that actually led to something tangible because remember when donald trump announced

00:04:35.260 the tariffs it was 25 tariffs on canada and only 10 on natural resources that 15 savings in the tariff

00:04:43.780 came directly because of premier smith and her meeting and her advocacy that is a direct line between

00:04:49.760 that savings so yeah ten thousand dollars i think it's worth it i think it's worth it cbc all right

00:04:54.980 let's play the rest of this ridiculous report asked the premier's office how long smith had with trump

00:04:59.940 and why so many people were involved with the trip but did not get a response so many people there were

00:05:05.440 three people there were three people involved they said premier smith and two of her advisors so i'm sorry

00:05:11.460 but we're supposed to believe a three-man team going to visit the president united states is like a large

00:05:17.080 team it's so ridiculous okay and then they go to a political science professor here that's supposed to

00:05:24.000 what somehow explain why this is a scandal let's resume the clip we're talking about a large sum

00:05:29.160 of money in ten thousand dollars no we're not to be spent for perhaps more people being involved

00:05:34.220 sorry just pause it again that's not a large sum of money that's not a large sum of money okay i looked

00:05:39.060 it up folks because i like crunching numbers the government of alberta in 2025 is projected to spend

00:05:45.840 it anticipates spending 79 billion dollars 80 billion dollars just in alberta forget about the feds forget

00:05:52.600 about all the other provinces just the government of alberta plans to spend 80 billion dollars ten

00:05:58.200 thousand dollars as a percentage of 80 billion because yes i crunched the numbers it is 0.000012

00:06:06.940 that's four zeros 0.000012 of all federal of all sorry provincial spending so that is not a large sum

00:06:14.980 by any extent of the imagination it is nothing it is absolutely nothing and i would guess that

00:06:22.400 universally albertans would say that this was good value for money 10 grand for a meeting one-on-one

00:06:28.700 with president trump that directly resulted in a reduced tariff of by 15 that will save alberta's

00:06:36.560 economy untold billions okay so the whole idea behind the segment is propaganda and lies and the fact

00:06:42.580 that they found a political science professor to pretend that this is a real thing i mean this is

00:06:48.760 all a joke federal federally funded federally funded federally funded finding a bunch of liberals who

00:06:53.080 are all funded by the carny liberal government to pretend that anybody cares about this ridiculous story

00:06:58.600 again just shows you how unnecessary the cbc is how political it is how partisan it is and how

00:07:04.700 just absolutely reprehensible it is that this thing continues to get funding okay let's resume the clip

00:07:11.220 um to be spent for perhaps more people being involved than were necessary for what might have been

00:07:16.640 a very brief exchange and and had very little uh impact so it's it's about the wise expenditure

00:07:23.420 little impact it had a direct impact it had a direct impact in the tariff price so this political

00:07:28.380 science professor has no idea what she's talking about or she's pretending that the thing that 0.95

00:07:33.040 happened after this didn't actually happen which again is just pathetic and shameful okay resume

00:07:38.280 miniature of of scarce taxpayer dollars that that comes into question in cases like this the premier's

00:07:44.720 office pointed to comments she's previously made where she said her strategy was to meet with people

00:07:49.500 who can influence the u.s president julia wong cbc news edmonton okay so just again reason number 1005

00:07:58.160 why the cbc just should not be funded anymore this is so ridiculous they are trying to create a scandal

00:08:04.980 out of nothing quick question how much did it cost when prime minister justin trudeau went down to

00:08:09.980 mar-a-lago did the cbc bother to foy that as well how about doug ford when he went down to washington

00:08:16.260 to meet with howard lutnik or other administration uh officials how much did that cost oh oh because

00:08:21.920 the cbc doesn't actually care because when you're a liberal you can get away with anything if you're a

00:08:26.020 conservative they are going to all of a sudden become sleuths and try to safeguard every last penny

00:08:31.680 that the taxpayer is on the hook for right when it when it comes to 1.5 billion dollars for the cbc

00:08:36.960 no interest no interest at all in whether the money is well spent or providing a service for

00:08:42.740 canadians of course not uh but if the premier of alberta spends ten thousand dollars to secure

00:08:49.280 the top meeting with the top official the most important person in the world and especially when

00:08:55.360 it comes to dealing with the tariffs that he himself is imposing yeah i'm going to say ten thousand

00:09:00.100 dollars for a meeting with president trump by the premier that literally changed the course of the

00:09:04.780 tariffs for alberta i'm going to say that that is good use of the money better than all the lobbyists

00:09:11.060 by the federal government and the ontario government better than any of the other things that they are

00:09:15.260 trying to do uh daniel smith actually had results and again this is why it it brings me no joy to have

00:09:21.780 to cover the cbc actually pains me to have to watch their reporting because it's so cringe and so bad

00:09:26.340 but folks i just need you to know what they're reporting what they're telling canadians you know

00:09:30.680 those poor canadians who don't know that there is an alternative who are sitting at home and they

00:09:35.600 watch the cbc because they think that's the only option and they're fed this propaganda and they're

00:09:39.520 fed this absolute nonsense it's honestly no you can't really blame them for the way that they view

00:09:44.820 the world and the reason that they keep voting liberals is because they're sucked into this propaganda

00:09:49.620 vortex and it is so shameful for a free country like canada to have this kind of programming

00:09:54.600 which again is why the cbc has to go
