00:01:46.040 that um it appears that kevin o'leary daniel smith and jordan peterson were at mar-a-lago
00:01:51.560 with donald trump and then smith herself came out and said yes that the the photos are are real
00:01:59.120 they're not uh they're not photoshopped and she just said this over the past 24 hours i had the
00:02:05.020 opportunity to meet president donald trump at mar-a-lago at his golf club and at his golf club
00:02:10.320 this morning we had a friendly and constructive conversation during which i emphasized the mutual
00:02:15.180 importance of the u.s canada energy relationship and specifically how hundreds of thousands of
00:02:21.340 american jobs are supported by energy exports from alberta i was also able to have similar
00:02:27.360 discussions with several key allies with the incoming administration was encouraged to hear
00:02:31.860 their support for a strong energy and security relationship with canada on behalf of albertans
00:02:36.900 i will continue to engage in constructive dialogue and diplomacy with the incoming administration
00:02:41.940 and elected federal and state officials from both parties and i will do all i can to further
00:02:47.620 alberta and canada's interests the united states and canada are both proud and independent nations
00:02:52.220 with one of the most important security alliances on earth and the largest economic partnership in
00:02:57.640 history we need to preserve our independence while we grow this critical partnership for the benefit
00:03:03.120 of canadians and americans for generations to come and you can see the photos that she included
00:03:09.700 uh her talking to trump her shaking his hand they're looking uh very friendly very happy there's a photo of
00:03:15.480 them the next morning at his golf course it looks like trump's about to play golf and uh danielle is
00:03:21.360 wearing a beautiful white dress along with kevin o'leary's very sort of flamboyant florida man
00:03:26.980 uh outfit there um and then you can see the three of them talking so very very interesting development
00:03:33.380 interesting to see these individuals in trump's orbit we've been hearing a lot from kevin o'leary
00:03:39.120 sounding off about how canadians should pay more attention to donald trump and try to strike
00:03:44.700 some kind of a deal some kind of a better uh partnership that will ensure greater freedom
00:03:50.440 and economic opportunity for canadians so interesting that the alberta premier has been
00:03:55.420 brought in on this orbit and so what exactly happened what exactly did they talk about what
00:04:00.000 went down well rick bell who is a post media columnist had a column that was posted late last
00:04:05.420 night in the calgary heraldies um basically it sounds like he had had sort of an in-depth conversation
00:04:11.140 with either danielle or uh one of her close closer aides kind of detailing all uh all the various
00:04:18.440 meetings that they had and how it went down so i'll read you a little bit from this calgary herald
00:04:22.820 uh article here it says um it's saturday night the evening of january 11th around 9 p.m smith is at
00:04:30.160 mar-a-lago trump's resort and headquarters and out of out of this world palm beach florida resort
00:04:35.520 which will once again be trump's winter white house some of the big trump some of the trump big
00:04:41.800 shots who's who is in the trump world or in the house we did see some photos uh circulating of
00:04:47.040 people like sylvester salone uh elon musk was there um so you know it wasn't just the the few canadians
00:04:54.080 there there were a lot of very powerful important people um rick continues to say that smith is there
00:05:00.220 and the premier is at a table just a few feet away from where the incoming u.s president will sit
00:05:04.860 when trump and his family and his entourage arrive he makes a beeline for smith he has obviously been
00:05:11.160 told she is the premier of alberta interesting so trump is in a room full of his closest confidants
00:05:17.140 and friends and danielle smith kind of seems like a guest of honor to the point where when trump enters
00:05:23.200 the room he goes straight to danielle smith straight to her to try to make that introduction
00:05:28.700 and to try to meet her wow uh what a compliment and what does that say about the way that trump
00:05:34.020 regards danielle smith it sounds like he really respects her and holds her in high regards it's
00:05:39.180 a great thing for alberta great thing uh indeed for canada uh so i'll continue reading here it says
00:05:44.320 smith as you know has recently been speaking non-stop about oil and gas and is no fan of tariffs
00:05:50.640 trump says he plans to hammer canadian goods going stateside with a 25 tariff a 25 charge
00:05:57.740 once they cross the border smith is on comfortable ground in florida at least as comfortable as you
00:06:03.540 can be these days the premier has made many well-reasoned appearances on trump's favorite
00:06:08.360 tv channel fox news while justin trudeau is going on lefty msnbc she has talked a whole to a whole bunch
00:06:15.600 of movers and shakers in the trump universe this weekend she was at mar-a-lago at the same time as
00:06:20.660 psychologists and right-wing rock star jordan peterson along with tv money man kevin o'leary
00:06:26.720 smith is going to be in washington dc for the trump inauguration inauguration at the table smith and
00:06:34.220 trump have a conversation of around five to ten minutes about energy about oil and gas about
00:06:39.360 alberta and canada smith mentions how production of alberta oil is ramping up in a big way and the
00:06:45.820 u.s and that u.s buys a lot of alberta oil smith asks if trump's want if trump wants more of our oil
00:06:52.500 trump does it is by far canada's biggest export to the americans reportedly the exchange goes very
00:06:58.920 well okay he goes on he says then on sunday trump plays a round of golf smith is invited to have lunch
00:07:05.600 at his golf club and trump pulls smith aside and they have another five to ten minute conversation
00:07:10.860 about energy smith puts out a statement sunday she's expected to speak with the news hounds
00:07:15.940 on monday morning i was one of those news hounds on that call so i'll get to that
00:07:19.820 in just a minute rick bell continues to say the premier says that her time with trump was friendly
00:07:26.200 and constructive she talked about how hundreds of thousands of american jobs are supported by alberta
00:07:32.800 energy going south she confirms other discussions with several key players in trump world and she
00:07:38.860 says and this is key she's encouraged to hear their support for a strong energy and security
00:07:44.240 relationship with trump now no one knows where this will lead this is continuing reading from rick
00:07:50.300 bell's column he says no one knows where this will lead the smart smart money now bets if anyone is
00:07:56.600 going to get a reprieve from trump's tariffs it will likely be the oil patch of course nothing nothing
00:08:02.560 nothing is certain and just to clarify smith herself actually said that this is not going to happen
00:08:08.140 when she spoke to reporters this morning so i'll get to that in a second but i don't think there's
00:08:12.520 going to be any reprieve from these trump tariffs at least after hearing what smith had to say
00:08:17.500 uh just finally here for mcbell it says through it all smith has always followed the same playbook
00:08:23.520 no matter how the premier may be pushed and prodded to go scorched earth nasty against trump
00:08:28.720 she has not done so when other politicians and clickbait hungry commentators have made a stratospherically
00:08:35.220 big deal about trump taking over canada and making us the 51st state smith would not bite on low-hanging fruit
00:08:42.000 as mentioned in a previous column smith has insisted on serious conversation about how to get as many
00:08:47.800 canadian goods as possible untouched by the trump tariff threat the premier's people see no advantage
00:08:53.520 in wetting their pants when dealing with trump and his negotiating shtick they're not setting their
00:08:58.700 hair on fire or hyperventilating or posturing or running through the streets saying the sky is
00:09:05.080 falling falling trump smith wants a deal to use a little bit of trump's lingo and meanwhile on the
00:09:12.000 weekend trudeau and his crew on the cbc were already talking up retaliatory retaliation plans
00:09:17.880 against trump's uh tariffs and that's basically just not smith's style so here we see daniel smith
00:09:25.560 going down to florida having a mature face-to-face person-to-person discussion with donald trump trying
00:09:32.600 to find common ground staying calm having a cooler head um whilst basically all the other political
00:09:38.980 leaders mostly on the political left are basically lighting their hair on fire and panicking in the
00:09:45.940 face of trump's threats and so i wanted to commend daniel smith for going down there for doing uh what
00:09:52.820 needed to be done right you see justin trudeau went down there a few weeks ago and seemed to make
00:09:57.740 everything worse right remember that all of those 51st state and governor trudeau all those jokes came
00:10:03.220 after trump's trip down to mar-a-lago so when when trudeau tried to go down to mar-a-lago to meet trump
00:10:09.840 he blew it up and made it worse uh daniel smith seems to go down there and garner respect and have
00:10:15.760 face time with trump and have this this sort of advancing conversation about mutual needs and smith's
00:10:21.740 dislike of tariffs and from my perspective what smith is doing is far more effective far more
00:10:28.480 effective far more helpful uh for canada um than the whole shtick that trudeau and the liberal
00:10:34.880 government are trying to do so smith came out this morning monday morning and further clarified she
00:10:40.160 said that it was indeed a productive friendly conversation uh with trump but she was clear she
00:10:46.660 was clear that tariffs are coming so you can see i was live tweeting this press conference this
00:10:52.640 morning premier smith's speaking to reporters about her meeting with trump calls the meeting
00:10:57.140 friendly constructive but warren tariffs are coming so she was pretty unequivocal that she she said you
00:11:03.280 know no matter what this guy is serious these tariffs are coming and let's be clear these tariffs
00:11:07.860 are going to be devastating devastating to our economy like instant recession uh things are going to get
00:11:13.060 very bad and you know the more conversations that we can have with trump the better um so uh to go on
00:11:20.400 smith criticized justin trudeau saying that she's very concerned about the leadership vacuum she was
00:11:25.960 asked whether trudeau's resignation is helpful she repeated her call for an immediate election
00:11:31.680 sort of repeating what a lot have been saying this whole prorogation of parliament waiting for a liberal
00:11:38.280 leadership race it's not helping it's not helping this is an incredibly important part
00:11:42.240 important time a crucial time in our nation's history we need a negotiator we need someone there
00:11:47.980 with a mandate we need someone who can talk to trump and say i represent the people and whatever you
00:11:53.480 will say about justin trudeau he doesn't have that mandate he knows it hence why he resigned so we don't
00:11:58.340 really have a leader of our country at this point we don't really have a prime minister and whoever the
00:12:03.680 liberals are going to select isn't going to have that mandate either trump will know that this person
00:12:08.960 has not been elected by the canadian people it's a bad scenario that's about to get worse the best
00:12:14.020 thing that canada can do the best thing that trudeau could ever do for canada is to just call an
00:12:18.980 election let the canadian people choose a mandate choose a leader to have a mandate and that leader
00:12:24.180 can go down and talk to trump so so smith just sort of reiterated that this part was super interesting
00:12:31.700 she was asked about melanie jolie we're going to get to melanie jolie's comments melanie jolie is sort
00:12:37.780 of leaving the door wide open to a potential retaliatory retaliatory tariffs and even an embargo
00:12:43.540 on our oil which would be disastrous danielle smith made that clear she said that basically melanie
00:12:50.680 jolie's idea don't make empty threats and if they were to pursue that option of an embargo there would
00:12:57.200 be a national unity crisis uh smith didn't mince her words actually we have a clip of daniel smith
00:13:03.980 uh responding to this question about melanie jolie so let's play that clip now yesterday uh foreign
00:13:10.980 affairs minister melanie jolie talked about she was asked specifically if in negotiations with trump
00:13:17.420 um canada would consider an energy embargo on the united states and i want to um
00:13:27.200 as leverage what do you think what do you make of what she said well first of all it's uh
00:13:35.940 oil and gas is owned by the provinces principally alberta and we won't stand for that and you should
00:13:42.300 never ever threaten something you cannot do and i i would encourage the minister to look at a map
00:13:50.960 of where line five line five line five comes down through michigan to get to sarnia and then that feeds
00:14:00.900 the bulk of the supply needed for ontario and connects with line nine which feeds the bulk of the product
00:14:08.580 needed for quebec and so if you cut off that line you are cutting off ontario and quebec so i would
00:14:17.520 encourage the ministers to either understand how our integrated pipeline system works um and start
00:14:26.200 looking at ways that we would be able to practically respond because uh there's no point in making empty
00:14:34.820 threats that cannot be executed on so so daniel smith incredibly strong incredibly firm basically just
00:14:43.380 putting melanie jolie in her place like don't threaten something that you can't do oil and gas
00:14:48.080 is a provincial entity it's provincial jurisdiction butt out feds and by the way who's who's supplying
00:14:54.240 your oil right now look at look at the pipelines uh look at the system the infrastructure there
00:14:58.920 uh wow uh i wouldn't want to mess with daniel smith on this issue and the the the federal government
00:15:07.440 melanie jolie going out there talking about this um not not a good look uh as daniel smith points out
00:15:14.620 smith also mentioned that in talks with trump trump is interested in buying more oil and gas from canada
00:15:21.680 he says yes he does want more he's interested in purchasing more um whereas this question of whether
00:15:28.280 alberta will be exempt whether smith was able to negotiate any kind of an exemption from alberta maybe
00:15:34.140 they won't that the oil coming from canada won't get that 25 tariff uh smith just frankly said no
00:15:39.340 we are not expecting any kind of exemptions preparing the public for what is to come things
00:15:45.480 are going to be bad this is what happens when you have weak leaders this is what happens when you have
00:15:50.920 a federal government that's not even really there that isn't upholding its end of the bargain or its
00:15:55.520 responsibilities there will be consequences the consequences that trump is talking about it's
00:16:00.300 going to be rough it's going to be serious uh smith was incredibly forthright about that and again
00:16:06.980 smith is doing a heck of a lot more for canada advancing our interests trying to find common ground
00:16:12.320 with the incoming president um then some of other canada's other leaders especially leaders on the
00:16:17.920 federal stage leaders who you would expect would have the calmness um to pursue something that is best
00:16:23.800 for canada and not try to escalate the situation and make it worse and i'm specifically right now
00:16:28.180 talking about ndp leader jagmeet singh this guy is just a total disaster again and again everything
00:16:34.100 he's doing it's like he's cosplaying the role of a federal leader he has no idea how damaging this
00:16:38.940 could be the only saving grace is probably that no one will take this person seriously no one in the
00:16:44.720 u.s knows who he is or cares he shouldn't hold the balance of power he holds the balancing power of
00:16:49.700 canada right now there is no reason why he should he won't as soon as there is an election
00:16:53.760 and hopefully no one takes his fool seriously here is jagmeet singh he put this video up on sunday
00:16:59.540 playing mr tough guy threatening donald trump promising retaliatory tariffs which would be
00:17:05.680 absolutely devastating for the economy of canada you have no idea how bad this would be for canada
00:17:11.380 singh doesn't care he just wants the clicks he just wants attention here he is threatening donald
00:17:17.280 trump is an absolute joke let's see this clip i have a message for donald trump our country's not for
00:17:23.040 sale not now not ever i lived across this country and i can tell you canadians are a proud people
00:17:29.380 we're proud of our country and we're ready to fight like hell to defend it right now with the forest fires
00:17:35.460 ravaging homes canadian firefighters showed up that's who we are we show up and support our neighbors but
00:17:42.380 if donald trump thinks if you think you can pick a fight with us there'll be a price to pay i've committed
00:17:47.080 that if donald trump imposes tariffs on us we should respond with retaliatory tariffs in kind
00:17:53.900 i think that anyone running as prime minister should do the same okay jagmeet singh sit down
00:18:00.740 be quiet okay you're saying that canadians are ready to fight fight like hell what do you mean
00:18:05.440 what do you mean are you going to register and sign up for the military if trump invades when you say
00:18:09.720 fight like hell like what exactly do you mean slapping a retaliatory tariff will just make things even
00:18:15.080 more expensive for canadians tariffs aren't good on either side and if trump wants to impose those
00:18:21.380 to send a message to canada maybe to increase our military spending um maybe to stop all of our own
00:18:28.520 internal subsidies and regulations that make it unfair for us to trade with our partners uh that should
00:18:34.220 be a call to action for canada to up its game not to sink down even further and tax our own people
00:18:41.140 which is what a tariff does so singh not helpful glad he's not very important glad no one's listening
00:18:46.900 to him uh just demonstrating his own foolishness and ignorance but he's not alone he's not alone
00:18:52.740 he's in good company up there in the federal government uh with his alliance with the liberals
00:18:58.000 here we have the liberal foreign affairs minister melanie jolie and she sort of opens the door keeps the
00:19:04.700 door wide open uh when asked questions on the oil embargo this is one that smith was responding to
00:19:10.580 earlier but let's see this clip of melanie julie over the weekend on cbc just being completely
00:19:16.240 irresponsible talking about canadian retaliatory measures so if these tariffs are applied as he
00:19:22.580 has threatened them to be which we don't know the case he hasn't announced that you know the specifics
00:19:26.580 but he's saying 25 i was interviewing six economists that the top six economists the the chief ones for all
00:19:32.700 the big banks the other day and collectively they said the hit to the economy we're looking to the
00:19:36.680 millions of jobs you're looking at a three three percent contraction and essentially an immediate
00:19:41.940 recession so it's in that vein against that backdrop i ask you about what retaliation would
00:19:46.840 look like is your government prepared to cut off supplies of energy for example to the united states
00:19:53.340 what i can tell you is everything is on the table and that's the conversation we will have
00:19:58.720 the prime minister minister leblanc and myself with the premiers next week and that's a conversation
00:20:03.680 also i'll take to uh republican senators and key republican decision makers uh in washington next week
00:20:11.760 because this is indeed a decision that would be taken by president-elect trump that would have
00:20:18.400 devastating impacts on canadians and so for those who are watching us right now it is important to
00:20:27.300 understand that the threat is real and we're acting on it and that's why i'm calling every political
00:20:34.820 leader in this country to be on board because this is not time for division this is not time for
00:20:40.440 weakness this is time of strength and unity unbelievable it's unbelievable that these people
00:20:46.100 are still going down to washington to represent us to represent canadians because i mean what she said at
00:20:51.460 the end there is obviously true this is a big big deal and it's going to have a devastating impact
00:20:55.380 on canada the reality is that any retaliatory tariffs or embargoes on our products won't have as big of
00:21:04.420 an impact on the us as theirs will on us we're a much smaller country their imports are much more
00:21:10.380 important to our economy and so yes a tariff will hurt them but it'll hurt us 10 times more and so at a
00:21:18.120 certain point you just have to be realistic and this whole like we no partisanship here we all have
00:21:22.720 to be on the same team and it's a team canada approach spare me spare me spare me that nonsense
00:21:27.520 because we don't want you representing us anymore canadians don't want the liberal government
00:21:32.560 representing us anymore you have gotten us into a horrible economic mess and you should not be the
00:21:37.780 ones down there representing us and trying to get out of it we need an election we need canadians to
00:21:43.040 determine who our government will be and these liberals out there it's just unbelievable no one wants
00:21:49.300 her to represent us and the idea that they're not going to close the door on any possible retaliatory
00:21:54.280 measures is is just brutal it's just brutal and it's not helping the situation and speaking of
00:22:03.820 liberals not helping the situation we saw plenty of liberals hand-wringing and making accusations
00:22:09.140 against danielle smith for the crime of even going down and talking to donald trump so here we have a
00:22:15.780 liberal mp uh from vancouver his name is talib noumanohamed and he says sellout night canadian
00:22:23.920 edition at mar-a-lago so apparently just going down and talking to the president makes you a sellout
00:22:30.660 makes you a sellout this is called diplomacy this is called diplomacy but if you're a liberal uh seeing
00:22:36.100 any conservative people anyone right of center go down and talk to the president that is considered
00:22:42.360 a sellout uh what what happened to uh no partisanship here what happened to the team canada uh response
00:22:49.040 robin urbach of the globe and mail uh columnist of the globe and mail she asks a simple question
00:22:55.560 she just says i genuinely don't understand the attack here trudeau was at mar-a-lago a month ago
00:23:01.700 and then this liberal mp replies and he says there are some key differences smith hasn't spoken out
00:23:09.320 against the 20 uh the 51st state crap number two peterson talks down canada every turn
00:23:15.080 three o'leary is advocating for integration with the u.s pm trudeau is canada's pm and has been vocal
00:23:22.120 in defending our independence as have people from other parties like doug ford okay so basically this
00:23:29.420 guy just doesn't like these people because they are conservative like kevin o'leary is one of the few
00:23:33.860 people who have been speaking very clearly and making a lot of sense uh when advocating advocating a new
00:23:39.040 relationship with the united states and that's somehow dangerous peterson talks down canada every
00:23:43.300 turn no he's just talking about his experiences with your tyrannical government and how extreme
00:23:48.200 the liberal government in canada has become he doesn't talk down canada he loves canada and you
00:23:52.320 can tell that when he talks about his upbringing and his time in edmonton and his time in montreal
00:23:57.360 he obviously is a proud canadian loves canada he's not talking down canada he's talking down the
00:24:01.820 liberal government and as far as smith not speaking out against the 51st state uh crap well that's
00:24:09.020 actually not true uh daniel smith had a very strong very firm message uh when trump first started
00:24:14.840 making these comments this is what she had to say just a few days ago on january 7th she wrote this
00:24:20.300 canada is a strong independent nation with the ninth largest economy in the world and our southern
00:24:26.740 neighbor benefits from his economic strength we are the united states best customers we buy more
00:24:32.540 products and services from the u.s than any other single nation and she goes on i will continue to share
00:24:38.220 with americans the economic story alberta has to tell and that's why i will be in washington during
00:24:44.680 the inauguration so actually no smith has been very clear saying that is a strong independent nation
00:24:51.480 uh liberal mps just sort of choose to uh close their eyes and ignore all this uh i'll just get to one
00:24:59.380 more reaction here this one comes again from uh jagmeet singh the ndp leader talking about uh danielle
00:25:05.620 smith's photo that she posted with herself and donald trump he writes nothing to see here canada
00:25:11.360 just canadian conservatives celebrating with donald trump and billionaires days after he threatened to
00:25:16.600 annex canada and just days before the launch of a full-scale assault on the canadian economy jobs
00:25:22.280 and your family again you're saying this is called diplomacy this is called diplomacy this is what
00:25:27.640 leaders are supposed to do donald trump makes a threat canadian leaders go and try to talk him down
00:25:33.300 from that try to make the point that they have a good friendship with the united states that we have
00:25:38.520 a mutual relationship together that we will all benefit from fewer tariffs and fewer barriers that's
00:25:44.280 diplomacy that's why people like danielle smith represent us that's why danielle smith has a heck of
00:25:49.360 a higher a lot more uh a higher approval rating than jagmeet singh does so again just a bunch of brutal
00:25:58.360 brutal stuff uh from the canadian uh political left basically just so offended and um upset by donald trump
00:26:08.160 and donald trump by the way is having none of it so when it comes to this whole thing um trump is
00:26:15.120 basically just staying in his lane saying the same thing that he has said not really wavering here
00:26:20.540 uh here is a clip of donald trump from a few days ago basically just saying that all the stuff that
00:26:26.060 canada gives him the united states doesn't need so doubling down on this idea that he can go ahead
00:26:31.200 with these tariffs um and it won't really impact the united states very much let's play that clip
00:26:36.880 we don't need canada for lumber because we have big forests that we have you know not utilized where
00:26:43.380 in some cases they're protected which i can take that protection off and you take down a tree and you
00:26:48.900 grow a better tree that's you know pretty common but we don't need anything we don't need their fuel we
00:26:54.140 don't need their energy we don't need their oil and gas we don't need anything that they have and
00:26:58.220 i said to trudeau i said why why are we why are we subsidizing you 200 and 250 billion dollars a year
00:27:07.400 he said i really don't know and i said well i don't know either i said what would happen to canada if we
00:27:15.640 didn't he said canada would be obliterated if that happened i said then canada should be a 51st state
00:27:21.680 and again i mean it's it's it's sad uh but it's true uh canada is subsidized very heavily by the united
00:27:31.300 states you know there's two things that have enabled canadians to basically be run by socialists
00:27:36.700 for the last i don't know 40 or 50 years several generations um and that is u.s military protection
00:27:42.620 and alberta oil those two things those two things have allowed the federal government in ottawa
00:27:48.620 to basically operate as a socialist state growing ever bigger ever more powerful taking more and
00:27:54.740 more and more of our money um distributing it from the entrepreneurs and the innovators and the wealth
00:28:01.180 producing part of the country and the end society um and putting it back into more and bigger government
00:28:07.160 more social programs more socialism and so the reality is if it wasn't for those two things the
00:28:12.700 military and our oil and gas sector canada would be venezuela canada would be a failed state and so
00:28:18.640 at the same time it's like look you have to realize that the united states doesn't have to provide that
00:28:24.240 military protection if they don't want to if they don't feel that they're getting the best deal when
00:28:28.220 it comes to economic partnerships when it comes to the many many regulations and subsidies that canada
00:28:33.540 has it is in every it is very much in their right um to stop that military protection or at least to say
00:28:40.880 you have to pay your fair share you have to pay more of it and at the same time these socialists
00:28:46.320 who run the canadian government who who have managed canada and basically driven our economy
00:28:50.900 into the ground at every opportunity they bash alberta they bash the oil sands they bash a conservative
00:28:56.120 leader uh like daniel smith so it's all just a bit rich and frankly their whole house of cards is going
00:29:02.660 to come tumbling down uh when trump comes into office and from daniel smith's press conference it does sound
00:29:08.940 indeed like on january 20th this is one of the many executive orders that trump will administrate
00:29:13.900 immediately there will be no exemptions even even with the friendship that daniel smith seems to have
00:29:19.360 been forging with president trump there will be no exemptions for oil for energy it will be across
00:29:26.280 the entire economy it will be devastating and i mean we have to prepare for that but we also need
00:29:32.200 to demand accountability and action from our federal leaders we need an election we need an election
00:29:38.040 that's the only position uh that we should be taking over and over the canadian people should
00:29:42.400 be demanding um that trudeau step aside for real call an election for real not a liberal leadership
00:29:48.160 race an election an election to the canadian public so that we can decide who should govern us
00:29:53.960 that's just probably not going to happen justin trudeau was doing the media rounds over the weekend so
00:29:59.980 we showed you some clips of him on cnn on friday well he was also on msnbc over the weekend sitting
00:30:06.660 down with jen saki who was joe biden's former press secretary just a very very partisan left-wing
00:30:13.860 person over msnbc the most left-wing of left-wing news state stations in the u.s is kind of like
00:30:20.920 their cbc um not as bad because it's not government funded but uh just as nauseating and so here is
00:30:27.640 justin trudeau just completely speaking into the abyss uh just talking to himself uh no one's really
00:30:35.380 should be paying attention to this guy at this point first he says that trump's uh 51st state
00:30:40.880 comments was actually just flattery about canada let's play that clip do you think it's is this
00:30:47.060 bullying is it trolling you or should we not take seriously his expansion of desire no no i think i
00:30:53.620 think we definitely need to take that seriously i think from my very first conversations with him way
00:30:58.280 back in 2016 he told me how much he admires canada how much he appreciates and and and likes us so uh
00:31:04.780 so i think there is a certain amount of flattery in this that he thinks that we are as great as we are
00:31:10.320 he's right we are great we're also uh very very proud of being canadian if you talk to any canadian
00:31:16.920 you ask them to define what it is to be a canadian they'll talk about all sorts of different things
00:31:21.060 but one of the things we will point out is and we're not americans my goodness what do you even
00:31:27.640 say about a man like that like he totally misreads what donald trump is doing he's saying it's flattery
00:31:31.940 that trump wants canada well just true let me just tell you something he doesn't want canada because of
00:31:36.840 you he doesn't want canada because of the culture that you think is so great and superior to the united
00:31:42.500 states um the the canada that you see no he wants our minerals he wants our resources uh that that that's
00:31:49.220 what he wants he wants he wants the things under the ground um maybe when it comes to canada yeah
00:31:54.220 there's some great people probably wants the hard-working um ones of the bunch the innovative
00:31:58.600 entrepreneurial stuff uh but in the same clip you see he says that it's flattery that trump likes
00:32:03.580 canada so much and then like 10 seconds later when he's talking about what it means to be canadian he
00:32:07.920 goes we're not american like looking down his nose at the american public like we canadians we think we're
00:32:13.340 so much better than you um again and he can't even define canada like he defines canada as just
00:32:19.040 being not american which is not enough it doesn't mean anything it's not universally held belief in
00:32:24.280 canada um that the thing that makes us canadian is that we're not american that doesn't even mean
00:32:28.760 anything uh to me so again trudeau just like just stop man just just go home pack it up stop pretending
00:32:35.340 to represent us i think that this whole trip of trudeau going down going on cnn and msnbc was much more
00:32:40.800 about about trudeau and preserving his legacy and making friends and making inroads and trying to save
00:32:46.560 his own narcissistic uh career it doesn't really have anything to do with promoting canada's
00:32:52.360 interests and trying to get into trump's good books which is what danielle smith is doing so this whole
00:32:56.840 thing has just been a fail got another clip of trudeau here with jen sackey suggesting that uh canada
00:33:02.600 could maybe trade for vermont or something to trade what exactly uh not so clear but let's play this clip
00:33:08.980 i'm assuming he didn't bring up his intention to publicly say he was going to annex through economic
00:33:14.180 means your country it actually it actually sort of came up at one point and and then we we started
00:33:20.160 musing uh back and forth about this and when i i started to suggest well maybe there could be a
00:33:25.880 trade for vermont or california from uh for for certain parts uh he immediately decided that it was
00:33:32.260 not not that funny anymore and we moved on to a different conversation so this isn't this isn't out
00:33:38.060 of the blue that he's doing this but my focus has to be not on something that he's talking about that
00:33:44.220 will not ever happen but more on something that might well happen that if he does choose to go
00:33:51.200 forward with tariffs that raise the cost of just about everything uh for american citizens um that on top
00:33:59.760 of that we're going to have to have a a robust response to that so just kind of an interesting tidbit
00:34:06.200 there he he said that he brought the joke and said that they would want to trade certain parts of
00:34:10.860 canada for vermont or california hmm i wonder what parts he might have been talking there what what part
00:34:15.960 do you think that trudeau would be willing to trade what part of canada do you think that trudeau would
00:34:20.980 be willing to get rid of and trade for vermont or california kind of telling they're kind of telling
00:34:26.900 rather than just talking about how we're a one united country and we all stand in unison and you know
00:34:32.740 canada is a great country different than the united states uh he's there kind of suggesting
00:34:37.220 that maybe maybe i'll just get rid of some of these uh pesky conservative voting parts of the
00:34:42.940 country and trade them uh for more left-wing uh political constituents in places like vermont or
00:34:50.480 california hmm that could almost be seen as selling out parts of the country what do you think
00:34:54.980 oh and by the way if trudeau did ever want to follow through with that and trade those conservative
00:34:59.820 voting parts of the country they also happen to be the most productive parts of the country so if
00:35:04.280 that were to ever happen not that it would but if it were to ever happen uh canada would fold even
00:35:08.860 quicker canada would be seeing a recession uh uh probably something that they could never recover
00:35:14.180 from uh so not not a very funny joke uh no wonder even according to trudeau's own retelling of the
00:35:19.120 story that trump wasn't really interested in having that conversation uh with with trudeau not very funny
00:35:24.640 a final bit that i want to share from that clip on msnbc trudeau again he did this with jake tapper
00:35:31.440 on cnn on thursday which we played on the friday show if you haven't seen that show already it was
00:35:36.060 our first show back uh for myself this year and after my uh maternity leave first show in i think
00:35:41.280 about eight or nine months uh but anyway trudeau is failing to take any kind of responsibility
00:35:46.660 for the fact that he's gravely unpopular refusing to take any kind of responsibility or accountable
00:35:52.420 accountability for the way that the canadian economy is now in shambles the way that uh
00:35:57.580 canada's canadian society is in shambles there's a unity crisis uh there's social strife and cultural
00:36:02.740 strife due to unchecked mass immigration he doesn't want to talk about any of that he just blames his
00:36:08.380 uh unpopularity on other things with jig tapper he was blaming it on the right-wing parties and social
00:36:14.340 media misinformation and disinformation um here he blames his unpopularity on what he calls an
00:36:19.920 anti-incumbent wave like a global trend that has nothing to do with him or canada let's play that
00:36:25.660 clip also said when you resigned that you wanted to give your party a chance to win so i think from
00:36:32.260 your perspective i'm wondering is it more of a global trend issue in terms of where your approval
00:36:37.840 ratings are now which is the lowest they've been in your 10 years nearly 10 years or is it a you issue
00:36:43.480 as people should understand it i think it's probably a bit of everything i mean right now there's a
00:36:48.360 there's a political cycle where incumbents particularly those who steered us through covid
00:36:52.880 i mean canada did extraordinarily well through covid you know better than just about every other peer
00:36:58.100 tens of thousands less fewer deaths proportionately than than than our our our friends and allies around
00:37:04.300 the world um we inflation hit less hard our economy bounced back faster it was good but there is still
00:37:12.160 lingering frustration towards incumbents and for me where i lean in on is all the good things we were
00:37:19.100 able to do we put forward policies that are going to make a difference for decades to come in canada and
00:37:26.920 i think right now we're seeing a time in politics where emotions and social media is carrying an awful
00:37:34.480 lot of weight in how people feel about things but i'm always going to lean back on what are the
00:37:40.600 substantive things that are being done what are the substantive measures that make a big difference
00:37:45.380 in people's lives and standing up for the vulnerable supporting people who need it building an economy
00:37:50.040 that works for the middle class these are things that ultimately make the biggest difference in
00:37:54.960 people's lives
00:37:55.620 just absolutely i what do you what can you say to that what can you say to someone who's so
00:38:02.420 unaware has the lack of self-awareness that they really just think that everything they did was good
00:38:08.200 we just have to wait because his policies are going to do good in the next 10 and 20 years
00:38:12.900 um and that's that's how it helps that's how socialism works uh forget about you know ignore
00:38:17.240 your lying eyes in front of you forget about the fact that you can't afford your mortgage or that you
00:38:21.880 can't afford groceries or that everything is so expensive because of his carbon taxes forget about
00:38:25.980 the crime forget about how unsafe you are in your neighborhood because of mass unchecked immigration
00:38:30.420 and our revolving door prison systems just forget all that um it's just it's just a global trend it's
00:38:35.980 just anti-incumbent uh wave this guy has absolutely no self-awareness and it is absolutely pathetic i
00:38:43.000 wanted to go back to one other comment that trudeau made this will be the last clip i share of just
00:38:47.980 trudeau i promise i know so many people in the audience just cringe and say candace stop playing
00:38:52.720 so many trips clips of trudeau we don't want to hear him we don't like him we don't want to see his
00:38:56.760 face and hear his voice anymore i agree my friends not not too much longer not too much longer until we
00:39:02.240 don't have to play these clips in the news any longer uh just one other comment because we know
00:39:07.760 that our friends down in los angeles and in southern california are being hit with an absolutely unreal
00:39:14.500 crisis and tragedy uh with the out of control fires the santa anna winds uh blowing down through there
00:39:21.000 and just creating catastrophe the images and videos have been absolutely devastating um and in the midst of
00:39:27.160 all that again talking about diplomacy right there's donald there's danielle smith out there trying
00:39:31.680 to make inroads in a friendship with donald trump um and here we have justin trudeau smarmy snivelly
00:39:37.240 guy and what does he do he talks about climate change he's talking about these fires and he goes back
00:39:43.020 to his shtick trying to say that this is all the fault of oil and gas and that we need more climate
00:39:48.560 policies in order to stop it it's just so cringe and embarrassing this is a clip from him last thursday
00:39:54.000 on cnn with jake tapper i've been uh back and forth uh texting with governor newsom we've offered a
00:40:01.720 tremendous amount of equipment that they're uh they're already accepting there's there's expertise
00:40:05.700 there's things that we're having to do to deal with together as we of course respond to these fires but
00:40:11.780 also know that climate change means they're going to get steadily worse and we have to keep stepping up
00:40:16.860 on fighting climate change too a lot of people out there might say what does climate change have to
00:40:21.040 do with this explain well when the summers get drier when weather gets hotter when weather patterns
00:40:27.200 shift uh communities that were built in a place that you know never saw fires are suddenly seeing
00:40:32.160 fires uh much more frequently there's a there's a shift in everything that means even what we see now
00:40:38.080 is going to just get worse and worse and worse over the coming decades if we're not serious about
00:40:43.680 reducing our emissions and looking for uh ways to protect our future generations
00:40:48.480 that makes no sense justin trudeau what you just said makes no sense he said that summers are hotter
00:40:55.380 and drier can someone point uh our prime minister to a calendar can someone point out that it is january
00:41:01.440 it has nothing to do with a higher a hotter or a drier summer when we are in the middle of winter and
00:41:08.160 he's talking about how the weather patterns have gotten worse the santa anna winds go down through the
00:41:13.540 los angeles hills that has been happening that has existed for hundreds of years probably thousands
00:41:18.580 of years okay this is nothing new these fires are nothing new there's out of control fires in southern
00:41:23.540 california every single year they're usually peak in around october they get very very bad it is because
00:41:29.700 of these winds and these fires and this is nothing new so justin trudeau is just so out of depth here
00:41:35.060 he doesn't even know what he's talking about he doesn't have specific knowledge about these fires he's
00:41:39.300 saying that communities that were built places have to adjust because of the cl changing climate
00:41:44.260 patterns that's just not true that's just not true and adjusters keep quiet don't don't talk about
00:41:50.100 things that you don't understand he's always on a soapbox always trying to push his leftist agenda
00:41:55.620 always trying to defend his terrible policies this one a carbon tax uh it's just cringy and it has to stop
00:42:01.460 but on the topic of canada helping out our friends in california and in los angeles canada did supply some
00:42:09.300 bomber planes that have been used to help fight those fires in california and let me just say
00:42:14.500 watching these firefighters watching these incredibly brave men out there maneuvering
00:42:20.260 uh what they're able to do to put out these terrifying fires is just the absolute height
00:42:25.060 of bravery it is truly incredible to see so i want to play a clip of a canadian
00:42:29.940 bomber uh doing its job doing what it can to help fight these fires in california
00:42:47.700 so it really is incredible there what they do and i have a bit of a montage here a bit more clips
00:42:54.020 these ones aren't canadians aren't necessarily canadian planes or uh pilots but just in general
00:42:59.700 the completely brave individuals flying these planes is incredible maneuvers that they're doing
00:43:05.060 working incredibly hard to put out the fire you know there's so many horrible news stories
00:43:08.660 so devastating what is happening down there so it's nice to put a little bit of a positive spin
00:43:13.220 and see something good out of it and i think these these images these displays of heroic
00:43:18.740 masculinity um and men doing incredibly brave and dangerous things for the betterment of their
00:43:24.660 community the betterment of society to protect women and children and their community um we don't
00:43:29.620 we don't pay enough attention we don't praise it enough so let's uh play this montage of just
00:43:34.020 amazing clips from that from that fire
00:43:55.460 some folks are born made to wake the flag
00:43:58.900 whoo they're red white and blue
00:44:00.900 and when the band plays pale to the chief
00:44:05.780 whoo they want the candidate you

00:44:10.900 it ain't me
00:44:12.900 i ain't no senator
00:44:14.820 so
00:44:15.780 it ain't me
00:44:18.260 it ain't me
00:44:20.340 i ain't no fortunate one
00:44:22.900 no

00:44:31.380 oh when the tax man
00:44:32.820 come to the dog
00:44:36.180 amazing incredible stuff there's another uh footage that i saw that didn't didn't make it into that
00:44:40.660 clip but it was basically of one of those bombers collecting water from the pacific ocean in order
00:44:46.180 to use to pour onto the pacific palisades fire and it's just incredible it's like a huge plane and
00:44:51.540 you imagine what it takes to land like on choppy pacific ocean right to fill up the barrel
00:44:57.380 with water to go use that to put out the fire i mean it just takes incredible precision
00:45:02.740 to be able to maneuver a large aircraft like that and it truly is incredible so hats off
00:45:07.780 to those heroes and we pray for the people of los angeles pray for the brave firefighters
00:45:12.900 helping to put out those fires and for everybody involved okay i want to end the show on a bit of a
00:45:17.700 different note bring it back home to canada and a story that i read in true north it was just
00:45:24.100 absolutely incredible to me a story of an ottawa realtor who has had his license revoked
00:45:31.540 by basically a tyrannical board so the story here is of an individual named mark papineau who's been
00:45:37.700 a realtor in ottawa for 14 years and yet the ottawa real estate board has banned him from doing business
00:45:44.180 what was his crime well he mildly criticized gay pride month and he said that gay pride parades
00:45:50.820 are not appropriate for children instead saying that it was much more appropriate for us to be
00:45:57.940 spending more time honoring our veterans and our troops asking why is it that we only have one day
00:46:03.700 to honor our veterans honor the brave men who fought for canada on d-day whereas we have an entire
00:46:10.420 month for gay pride well i spoke with mark earlier this morning to get the full story and here is
00:46:17.380 what that interview looks like mark good morning thanks for joining us good morning thank you for
00:46:22.740 having me i'm just so blown away by this whole ordeal it's kind of scary what can happen when sort of a
00:46:28.820 group of individuals deem that you've said something uh that they don't agree with so why don't you just
00:46:34.100 walk the audience here through uh the story and what has happened to you sure thank you um so it was
00:46:42.420 about a year and a half ago i believe and um you could actually see if every anybody ever goes back and
00:46:49.860 sees my post um there was a picture that was circulating around uh that was like a picture of
00:46:55.620 a man holding a shield over his family and it was a rainbow and it's funny because a whole
00:47:01.220 whole whole group of my friends had sent it to me privately and you see in my toast post was the
00:47:06.740 first i said there i did it and ironically the reason why i did that is because i was kind of why
00:47:11.460 are you guys sharing this privately and why don't you just share it publicly if this is something that
00:47:16.420 truly bothers you why are we hiding in the shadows so i said you know what i'll go first so the purpose of
00:47:25.220 that picture was really just to say that you're protecting your family against a narrative that you may
00:47:30.660 disagree with something that i want to make clear is that i'm a father first before all things and i
00:47:37.860 take my family seriously and my role as a father is to provide and to protect and there are particular
00:47:44.980 things that are being said in our school systems that i disagree with and i had heard there were some
00:47:51.140 grumblings that this was moving into our area and i wanted to voice my concern that certain things
00:47:58.660 were being shared in the curriculum that were bothering me but it kind of rolled into as you
00:48:03.540 see the post and people can go back and read it there's just certain things that i felt were going on
00:48:09.620 in our society at the peak of this that i felt was inappropriate and i felt like pride month was long and it
00:48:17.060 was constantly being extended pride month and i'm like okay what is it pride year i totally understand that
00:48:23.220 people can have their lifestyle and do whatever it is that they want to have no issues with that but
00:48:28.900 there is a point where if it's out in the open for everybody to see you're going to expect people to
00:48:34.180 have an opinion and you can't force people to not be able to speak ironically when i mentioned the
00:48:39.940 veterans we have the right to speak that was paid for by the blood of our veterans and i think that we
00:48:47.780 that we should stand on that right and to exercise that right to pay respect to their sacrifice so i
00:48:54.820 choose to use my voice and and just just to let the audience know because i haven't read it to them yet
00:48:59.860 but i mean you should go check this out it's it's something that you you articulate well and i see
00:49:06.020 this sort of sentiment a lot online a lot of people feel this way why is it that we only have one day
00:49:10.900 to honor the veterans that died say on d-day that that that died for freedom that were killed on the
00:49:17.620 beaches of normandy during world war ii to help protect our freedom they get one day uh whereas
00:49:22.740 pride to your point you know it started out as maybe pride week now it's pride month it's it's like
00:49:27.220 every corporation canada every bank every like telecom company they're all leaning so much into it
00:49:34.500 and you know that's that's one thing but the another thing is going to these pride parades
00:49:39.380 where you you make the point where you know if you go to a movie they'll say it's pg-13 or it's
00:49:43.860 rated r if there's mild sexual content um whereas you know we're all encouraged to go to these pride
00:49:48.420 parades uh where there are there's a lot of nudity there's a lot of exhibitionists there's a lot of
00:49:53.860 values that don't really align with the values of most families and certainly not something that you
00:49:58.260 would want your kids to see so i i didn't i didn't have any kind of problem with your post at all
00:50:02.980 you even make clear that you have no problem with with gay people and that you might even go to a drag
00:50:07.780 show with your wife you just wouldn't want your kids there um i i feel differently i would never
00:50:12.260 go to a drag show but you know do each their own right um yeah and and yet and yet so so tell us mark
00:50:19.540 like what what happened with your professional organization so you're a realtor in ottawa and
00:50:25.140 walk us through sort of the difference between these boards and what what the ruling was against you
00:50:30.180 yeah so um i had an overwhelming level of support from the community my fellow realtors as well
00:50:36.660 um even more so now but what happened is there was a crusade that was started by a particular group
00:50:44.180 of individuals of whom i will not name but they decided that they were going to band together and
00:50:51.940 to have me cancelled so what they did is they made several complaints to the different the different
00:50:57.140 bodies that i'm part of one of them is the federally regulated body of which the responsibilities of
00:51:02.900 regulation are passed off into the province such as the real estate council of ontario and then the
00:51:08.100 other body they made a complaint to is the local board that i'm a private member of which is the auto
00:51:13.940 real estate board so the real estate council of ontario's mandate is just this they are the
00:51:19.860 regulators they have a team of lawyers and they review our conduct depending on complaints how we deal
00:51:26.180 with the public and how we deal amongst each other in order to ascertain if there's any wrongdoing that
00:51:31.060 takes place now the they received the complaint and they deemed that my my personal profile of where
00:51:38.820 i made the post was a private post that was a private page and they said well there's there's no real
00:51:44.820 hate speech there either so they basically sent the letters said hey sorry this isn't really our mandate
00:51:50.180 mark's personal life is not our mandate so we're going to just step back from that
00:51:54.180 uh then the auto real estate board decided hey you know what um no we disagree and we're going to take
00:52:02.100 this standard and we're going to plant it and we're going to just make an example of mr papino so
00:52:09.140 their mandate truly is to facilitate mls access for realtors they provide a service they don't have
00:52:16.580 a team of representatives that are qualified to review any of these types of
00:52:20.660 um issues that's that's why rico exists um but they've made it a point to regulate realtors speech
00:52:29.780 because within their bylaws they have a rule as a private member board that they reserve the right
00:52:35.460 to regulate our speech both in and outside of our professional capacities so within their board mandate
00:52:43.380 they've given themselves that authority to do so the issue now becomes if a private member board gives
00:52:49.620 itself the right to do this and if they disbar me access then they withdraw my capacity to earn a
00:52:55.620 living which is another infringement of my charter rights so fundamentally speaking they can say yes
00:53:02.100 we have a right within our bylaws that gives us the capacity to exercise judgment on mark of which
00:53:08.500 they banned me for life by the way um now there's a technicality on that they issued some heavy fines in
00:53:15.620 this course i have to take um and then i went through some financial hardship i had some
00:53:20.020 construction projects that went bad the market obviously has been great and it kind of snowballed
00:53:24.900 which is fine i'll recover and all is well but financially it's been tight so i wasn't able to
00:53:29.460 pay for some of the program at the time that they said i should pay it i tried to work a solution with
00:53:35.060 them and they said ah if you can't pay beat it we never want to see you again they were waiting for
00:53:39.860 me to make a mistake to get rid of me to be honest wow and so so you had to take basically a mandatory
00:53:46.660 diversity training course like some kind of a re-education camp uh to try to change your mind
00:53:52.020 when it comes to whether or not children should be exposed to male genitalia on the streets during pride
00:53:57.380 month i mean can you tell us a little bit about that diversity training yeah so i haven't taken the
00:54:02.900 course yet i believe that the specific course is called an ethics course um and and ironically like
00:54:09.220 when i was in my early my late teens early 20s i went to college to become a police officer
00:54:15.220 as you can see from my demeanor i believe in people's rights i believe in a free society and
00:54:21.540 i believe in a controlled society and what i mean controlled is we have to abide by the laws and the
00:54:27.220 rules and regulations but we also have a right and we have our charter that protects our personal
00:54:31.940 freedoms to make sure that we can walk freely within a society and to speak now i took years of ethics
00:54:38.100 classes in my my police training that i graduated from so i'm very well averse um with what ethics are
00:54:47.700 and i understand them at a very high level so to be re-educated because of um my personal views
00:54:55.780 it feels very orwellian to me and it's just it's shocking i just i'm a little bit confused
00:55:03.780 i'll be honest to be honest it doesn't sound like your charter rights are being upheld is this something
00:55:09.140 you're looking to pursue legally against this board or what are your options here mark i i absolutely am
00:55:15.860 reviewing my options against the board the members behind the decisions as well as the people who
00:55:22.260 participated in the crusade um and my number one motivation uh is that they can't they cannot give
00:55:30.100 themselves the power now people so many people have reached out to me since this has happened and
00:55:34.820 they're kind of like this is crazy i can't believe this and in my response to everybody is how can you
00:55:40.180 not how can you be surprised evil happens because evil people do evil things and good people stand and
00:55:50.100 do nothing in the face of evil so of course you're going to have an environment where people do bad things
00:55:56.740 in a society where we're pacified and north korea didn't happen in like a day where the guy said hey
00:56:04.420 i'm now in charge and now there people are sitting in stadiums they're not even allowed to smile when
00:56:09.540 they're watching a performance that's how crazy it gets but that happened rule by rule day by day i heard
00:56:15.140 jordan peterson mentioned that before i'm a huge follower um and i i love his content i don't agree with
00:56:21.700 everything he says but a lot of what he says and it just comes down to you have to be able to speak
00:56:29.140 so i'm going to be pursuing these people in whatever capacities i have whatever options i have uh
00:56:35.060 available to me um i'm looking at my options great well i mean what's happening to you does sound a little
00:56:41.220 bit like what is happening to jordan peterson and to me it's it's disturbing because it's not just
00:56:45.940 government bodies right this real estate board is a private body so you see how people with this mindset
00:56:51.220 that you can't disagree that there's no such thing as free speech um how they maintain power
00:56:56.660 they gain power in little pockets of society and then they impose this why you know your friends are
00:57:01.700 happy to share this kind of a meme privately no one wanted to say it publicly because of what you're
00:57:06.580 going through so i just want to say mark i salute you for your for your bravery uh for standing up for
00:57:12.340 free speech uh if if any of our audience or listeners uh wants to to learn more about your story or
00:57:17.700 hey if anyone's selling a house in ottawa uh and they want to uh use you to represent them where
00:57:22.420 can where can folks find you yeah i mean they could send me uh an email to uh mark at team today dot ca
00:57:29.780 and that'll give them the ability to reach out to me they can go on um i believe you guys posted a news
00:57:34.660 article um there's i believe maybe a link of a gofundme that's going to go on there as well if people want
00:57:39.780 to support because uh legal causes are are not cheap and um i'm definitely going to need some
00:57:44.980 support from the community on that one because i'm not fighting this for me i'm doing this for society
00:57:49.300 i'm doing this for this nation i love this country i love what our veterans have done i love who we are
00:57:54.580 and i think that we just need to flex a little bit to get back to where we should be well i couldn't
00:57:59.940 agree more mark papino thank you so much for your time thanks for joining us thank you so much for
00:58:04.660 talking and just one more thing from that interview for the audience so mark was fined
00:58:10.100 four thousand dollars from the ottawa board and on top of that he had to pay one thousand one hundred
00:58:15.060 and fifty eight dollars from his own pocket to attend that ridiculous diversity course offered by
00:58:21.540 the regulator it is such a farce it's so unbelievably orwellian the speech codes that have been imposed
00:58:27.460 in our country we really have our work cut out for us to ensure and to bring back and restore
00:58:32.820 a free society in canada all right folks that's all the time we have for today we'll be back again
