Juno News - Doug Ford and Danielle Smith DROP THE GLOVES, Carney EXPOSED on expectations vs. reality

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. We have a great episode for you

00:00:07.180 today. It was an explosive day in politics yesterday. We covered that meeting, that

00:00:12.100 bilateral sit down between the Canadians and the Americans in the Oval Office with Trump

00:00:15.900 and Carney. We went through that, but we're going to cover a bit more of the reaction.

00:00:20.040 I want to start, though, by talking about this feud between Premier Danielle Smith in Alberta

00:00:24.640 and Premier Doug Ford in Ontario. Before we get to that, though, I'm going to ask you to

00:00:29.600 like this video. It really helps us with the YouTube algorithm. Okay, so the two premiers,

00:00:34.580 the two quote-unquote conservatives are changing a war of words, and I want to get into this a

00:00:41.560 little. First, I'm going to introduce our guest today, who is Mario Zaleo. Mario is a political

00:00:46.860 commentator and a businessman, a successful businessman. He has a huge, huge audience over

00:00:51.360 on TikTok and many other social media channels. So, Mario, always great to have you on the show.

00:00:55.920 Thanks for joining us.

00:00:57.960 Thanks, Candice.

00:00:58.960 So, I want to get into this sort of war of words here. As we saw after the election,

00:01:04.900 after the federal election ended, sort of the knives came out. During the election, we saw,

00:01:10.720 oddly, the progressive conservatives, Doug Ford, his chief of staff, Corey Tanaik,

00:01:15.440 unnecessarily inserting themselves in the election. And as soon as the vote was over,

00:01:19.640 we saw Jamil Javani kind of jump in and smack him down and say, I'm sure, what they had been wanting

00:01:23.800 to say for quite some time, which was basically just that we don't need advice from the Ontario

00:01:29.420 provincial conservatives as to how to run the federal campaign. Well, this time, Doug Ford

00:01:34.740 decided to take a swipe at Alberta Premier Daniel Smith and sort of boost Mark Carney. I think it's

00:01:40.720 pretty openly clear that Doug Ford is just openly a liberal at this point. So, let's play that clip.

00:01:46.000 All he's trying to do, and we wish him, I forget about political stripes, by the way. We have a

00:01:52.180 prime minister down there, and he's going to be sitting down, and he's going to give it everything

00:01:56.940 he can. This is a time to unite the country, not people saying, oh, I'm leaving the country,

00:02:02.740 or I'm doing this, I'm doing that. You know, united we stand, divided we fall. And we have to be

00:02:08.300 united Canada together to fight President Trump's terror.

00:02:13.080 It was sort of like an old school George Bush line, united we stand, divided we fall. So,

00:02:19.800 Danielle Smith sort of responded in kind yesterday, saying that she has a great relationship with

00:02:25.320 Premier Ford. She did joke that they probably supported different people in the last election,

00:02:30.340 kind of just taking a jab that he's at this point, like I said, basically a federal liberal. And then

00:02:35.480 she just said, I don't tell him how to run my province, so he shouldn't tell me how to run his.

00:02:39.560 Let's play that clip.

00:02:40.480 Well, Doug and I have a great friendship. We don't agree on everything. In fact, I think we

00:02:45.900 supported different people in the last federal election. And so we don't have to agree on

00:02:50.640 everything. But what I will say is we have a constructive conversation at the cough table.

00:02:55.840 I continue to look forward to having a constructive conversation with him at the cough table.

00:03:01.080 But he's the Premier of Ontario. I'm the Premier of Alberta. We just have different issues that we

00:03:06.660 have to respond to in our respective jurisdictions. I don't tell him how he should run his province,

00:03:10.880 and I would hope that he doesn't tell me how I should run mine. But we have a very respectful

00:03:15.740 relationship, and I hope that continues. As most Albertans know, I have repeatedly stated I do not

00:03:20.660 support Alberta separating from Canada.

00:03:23.080 And she sort of reiterated there that she doesn't want to separate from Canada. She said that many

00:03:27.080 times. Like, I know Premier Smith. She doesn't strike me as a separatist, never has. All she's doing 0.96

00:03:31.940 is creating a democratic process to basically just acknowledge the fact that there is a large

00:03:37.160 separatist movement in Alberta. So, Mario, what did you make of this back and forth here?

00:03:43.020 Well, I think the backlash towards, you know, Ford, I think it started probably well before I think

00:03:50.720 Jamil actually made public comments. And, you know, I've seen it a lot on X. I've seen it on the

00:03:56.300 social media platforms. A lot of, you know, major, you know, political influencers, people who cover

00:04:01.680 the news, people like myself have been very vocal against Doug Ford, and how he did not endorse nor

00:04:09.380 help Pierre Polyev. I think he specifically said that, we're busy. My MPs are busy. Sorry,

00:04:17.520 I can't help you. And then he started criticizing and doubling down, saying things like the truth hurts

00:04:23.060 when his, I think, campaign manager basically accused Pierre Polyev of, I think he called it

00:04:28.600 political campaign negligence, something along those lines. But it was grotesque for them to

00:04:34.520 insert themselves in that way. And meanwhile, sip on, you know, basically lattes and have coffee with

00:04:39.980 Krista Freeland and do a photo op with Mark Carney. I think it was, I think we all saw for what it was.

00:04:46.360 And I think Danielle's commentary of, you know, we probably supported different people in the last

00:04:50.500 that I think it's all true. I think it is all factually true. And if anyone watching can just

00:04:56.940 go on X, look at anything Doug Ford posts, look at anything and read the comments. Every single comment

00:05:03.260 you will see on there has something to do with him being a trader. And that has been vocalized quite

00:05:09.520 actively. And I think it really exploded to be much more than what, what, what it, what it used to be

00:05:16.020 when Jamil brought it forward. And with the image that he put on where, you know, he's dressed up as

00:05:22.220 Hulk Hogan, ripping his shirt open. And, and for those who haven't seen it, you know, he, Doug Ford

00:05:26.740 is wearing this shirt. It says Ontario conservatives, but he's ripping it over open. And then there's a

00:05:31.440 liberal red shirt underneath, basically exposing the fact that he truly is a liberal. I mean, this is

00:05:36.620 how we all feel. I think it's very accurate. I think it's very real. I think if you did any sort of

00:05:42.980 approval rating for Doug Ford right now, and if there's any sort of polling, it would be so

00:05:47.720 incredibly low. There's so many people that, and the consistent commentary that I've been seeing

00:05:52.320 from people is I will, if he's in power for the next left election, I will never vote for him.

00:05:57.500 Like in, in my approach is we will never forget this.

00:06:01.220 I, I agree. I was part of what I was trying to figure out during the campaign was what was his

00:06:05.460 motive, right? I wondered if maybe does he have ambitions to run federally? And so he was sort of

00:06:10.000 pre-positioning his team and his henchmen to kind of, you know, they, they, they smelt blood and to

00:06:15.440 like go for the kill against Pierre Polyev, try to sink him. So he loses the election so that Ford

00:06:20.480 can be next in line for the leadership. But I think you're right. Like, I don't think that the

00:06:24.280 conservative base and the, like the, the, the voting partisans in the party would ever forgive Doug

00:06:32.360 Ford for what he's done. I don't know that his polling is low in Ontario because there isn't really

00:06:37.060 much competition. Like both the liberals and the NDP in Ontario just can't seem to get their acts

00:06:43.300 together. And both of them sort of always prioritize the federal party as opposed to the provincial

00:06:47.880 party. They just don't have like a good candidate to step in, in either, either place because both,

00:06:52.640 you know, talented people in Ontario that are part of the liberal party tend to go towards the feds at

00:06:56.860 this point anyway. You know, maybe if Polyev was the prime minister, things would change. But I did,

00:07:01.340 I did kind of wonder like, what is the motive? Why? I actually like, probably thinking about it,

00:07:07.220 I'm not sure that Doug Ford has aspirations to become prime minister. I think he just really

00:07:11.240 likes to be involved. Like he wants to be, he likes the attention. He likes to be in the center of

00:07:15.780 things. He just wanted attention. And the fact that Pierre Polyev was getting all the attention

00:07:19.840 because of the federal campaign, he just like, in some way felt left out and wanted to be involved.

00:07:24.020 I don't think that there's anything deeper than that. But from an Ontario perspective, I know that

00:07:29.140 people are deeply disappointed in the way that the government is run. Like, you know, maybe we need

00:07:35.860 to do more to pressure this government to actually be conservative that, you know, it's right there in

00:07:40.860 the name of their party, but they don't seem to have conservative principles, especially when it comes

00:07:44.060 to standing up for tradition, protecting children against sort of like the most excessive, you know,

00:07:51.560 left wing ideology that gets pushed in our school system, like the total collapse of our healthcare,

00:07:57.540 like there just doesn't seem to be any competency there or any conservatism. What do you make of

00:08:04.260 all that? Well, I mean, I think it's true. I think his policies, I mean, even if you go back

00:08:09.500 to the COVID days, like if you, you know, if I were in his position, you know, we have a shortage of

00:08:16.600 nurses, we have a shortage of healthcare workers. I would have rehired all of the healthcare workers 1.00

00:08:22.080 that lost their job because they refused to put something in their body. And I would have done it

00:08:27.760 with, and I would have done it with back pay. That is unequivocally like that should have been done

00:08:33.140 without question. He's had every opportunity to do that. He hasn't, I have no idea what he's in for

00:08:38.520 another four years. Do it now. Like we're facing a crisis and we're basically instead importing nurses

00:08:46.180 that are not qualified, that have fake credentials from overseas that go over to Buffalo to get trained

00:08:53.020 on how to actually do IV injections because the diploma they have is fake. And I know this because

00:08:57.940 I hear from people that tell me this. They know people that have done this. They, they, they have

00:09:03.440 seen coworkers get fired because they were, they weren't actually nurses. They had no idea what they 1.00

00:09:09.640 were doing. They couldn't even do the basics. And so these are very real problems that I think are much

00:09:15.280 larger than what we think. And so if we have that, uh, if we have that problem, why is it not being

00:09:20.760 plugged? I would make sure that there would be criminal consequences associated with that. I would

00:09:26.060 come down so hard to deter anything like that ever from happening. We're talking about people taking

00:09:32.420 care of our parents, taking care of our children, of ourselves. And we're trusting what a bunch of scam

00:09:37.860 artists that decided to, you know, pay $500 for a fake, you know, a nursing degree overseas to bring it

00:09:44.380 over here and take care of us. That's not taking care of us. You could actually kill us. And so,

00:09:49.860 you know, to me, he he's, he's not, um, a conservative. I don't think he ever really has

00:09:55.020 been his policies. I mean, like, look at the things that he lines himself up with. He would

00:10:00.680 much rather have alcohol sold in every single corner convenience store than to focus on expanding

00:10:06.980 healthcare than to fight for us and go to the, the, the federal government and say, you're letting too

00:10:12.720 many people into this country. Like the city of Brampton right now is the fastest growing city in

00:10:18.500 all of Canada. We don't have enough hospitals for all these people. You need to stop. He's,

00:10:23.720 he's never said that not once, not, not explicitly, not publicly, not ever. And so a true leader needs

00:10:29.520 to stand behind the facts and the people of what's happening. It just shows that there's this massive

00:10:34.960 disconnect and he, he, he tiptoes around issues and never says things explicitly. He has no problem

00:10:42.000 with corporate welfare and giving, you know, the billions of dollars in incentives, tax breaks,

00:10:46.620 and money to, you know, these large multinational corporations to build EV plants, which were just

00:10:52.160 decimated completely by, by the tariffs. And so, you know, that they went all in on corporate welfare,

00:10:58.520 but they left, they left the regular working class citizen completely holding the bag.

00:11:05.760 I wish that that was something that we all took away from the Trump tariff threats is that it's

00:11:10.580 probably not a good idea to have government prop up industry, because this is what Trump is talking

00:11:14.580 about when he says that Canada's subsidized, that Canada's cheating, all this stuff. It's like,

00:11:18.560 he's pointing to something that is real, that exists. And it seems to be a philosophy sort of of

00:11:23.120 the liberals, but it does get picked up from time to time from conservatives, or at least they don't

00:11:26.220 have the courage to eliminate it. But why is it in Canada that government needs to hand

00:11:31.740 millions of dollars, sometimes tens of millions, sometimes even billions of dollars to private

00:11:36.940 companies? It doesn't make sense. Like even in the media space, which is one I'm familiar with,

00:11:40.600 it's like, we started Juno News from basically nothing. We've built it up into a successful

00:11:45.340 business. We've only been around for a few months, and it's already profitable, very profitable.

00:11:49.020 Okay. So like, why is it that some media go hat in hand to the government and get money? Like,

00:11:54.140 it just doesn't make sense. When there is a free market business plan that makes sense,

00:11:59.660 then you don't need the government involved. And yet the government just loves to be involved,

00:12:04.360 and they want to be involved. They want to prop up these industries. They created essentially an

00:12:07.980 artificial film industry by just creating tax credits and bribing these film industry movie

00:12:14.840 companies to come up to Vancouver and Toronto to film the movies here. The companies did it because

00:12:19.680 they were getting paid to by the Canadian government. And Trump just wakes up one day and

00:12:23.580 says, enough, we're going to tariff it. And it's going to be devastating. So this whole idea that

00:12:28.560 it's the government's job to prop up businesses and industries and create entire sectors of the

00:12:34.500 economy, it's not sustainable. It's not, like, we can't afford it, first of all. And second of all,

00:12:39.860 it's like, all that has to happen is the Americans decide, like, hey, you can't do that,

00:12:44.020 that's cheating. And then the entire thing goes away and it will be, I'm sorry to see it. Like,

00:12:49.360 I feel bad for everyone who works in the film industry because it won't be nice. It won't be

00:12:52.800 pretty. But the reality is that the government, Canadian government and liberal governments and

00:12:57.600 progressive conservatives like Doug Ford, they're the reason why these industries are so unstable.

00:13:04.360 Yes. And I would say that there's also this mass disparity between the billions of dollars that get

00:13:09.520 deployed into different sectors. And I'll give you a perfect example.

00:13:12.680 I believe between Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford, it was something to the tune of $14 billion that was

00:13:20.080 given. I think it was to Volkswagen. And I think the totality of jobs that were going to be created

00:13:24.320 was 2000. And so the ROI that we would get from this is what? And that's what I don't understand.

00:13:32.160 And on the film industry side, you know, the incentives aren't in the tens of billions of dollars,

00:13:38.320 but it created, you know, I think the international portion of the jobs that get created was something

00:13:46.380 like 138,000 jobs or something like that. That's what's at risk right now because it's been propped

00:13:52.120 up. What people, you know, may not realize is there's something called shred credits. I don't

00:13:57.000 know if you're familiar with it. It's called it's S R E D. And these shred credits are, it's basically

00:14:03.460 almost like an innovation fund. And it existed when I used to be back in the tech world over a decade

00:14:09.140 ago, they've expanded them. And I'm going to leave, you know, certain companies anonymous,

00:14:15.080 but I know Canadians who do not live in Canada. They live in the U S they have their headquarters

00:14:21.700 in Canada. They take advantage of the credit system. Their costs are in Canada, but their profits

00:14:29.920 are in the U S. And so what they do is that it's a form of transfer pricing. And so what you do is

00:14:34.940 you make the U S dollars, you have the costs in the U S you have enough of those, sorry,

00:14:39.920 you have the costs in Canada, but what the government does, they pay nearly half of the

00:14:44.760 salaries. If you're doing something innovative and innovation is by the way shred defines it.

00:14:50.920 It, I honestly believe it's very subjective and it's something that you could very easily sell.

00:14:55.800 So as soon as you say, Oh, we're, we're leveraging AI in video or in the way we're doing, you know,

00:15:02.220 video channels and video feeds. Well, no, what there's their whole business model. They're getting

00:15:07.580 top-notch engineers from Canada, taking advantage of our tax dollars, using us as a cost basis,

00:15:15.180 taking those credits and exporting those profits to the U S.

00:15:18.360 Well, and just even to add onto that, I I'll just speak briefly on this because my husband started a tech

00:15:22.420 company in Waterloo about a decade ago as well. And one of the things when they were trying to raise

00:15:26.760 money was that all the VCs. So the investors of venture capitalists were all like, you have to

00:15:31.620 sign up for these government subsidies. And it's like any self-respecting entrepreneur who's trying

00:15:37.040 to build a big business and has a vision for the future, doesn't want to be spending like half their

00:15:41.500 work week, filling out government welfare forms. Like it's, it's, it's so the entire process itself is

00:15:47.600 humiliating. It's like, you're taking an engineer and rather than getting them to code and do

00:15:51.500 something innovative and do something exciting. You're saying, go apply for your government

00:15:55.480 welfare check. And these guys would have to spend like every Friday doing this stuff. And it's like,

00:15:59.680 no wonder Canada can't innovate. No wonder innovative and entrepreneurial Canadians move 1.00

00:16:04.900 out of Canada and move to like the Silicon Valley because the entire subject. I want to move on just

00:16:09.940 sort of talking about Trump and tariffs, uh, with a bit more backlash. So, you know, like I said,

00:16:14.340 we covered this in great detail on the show yesterday, but there's a bit more kind of bubbling out

00:16:18.700 that I wanted to go back and cover. So yes, Mark Carney was in Washington DC, had that bilateral

00:16:24.340 meeting with Trump. I did not think it went well. I thought it was like Donald Trump did like a

00:16:28.340 masterclass, like art of the deal, subtle, low level, embarrassing Carney, taking jabs at him

00:16:33.460 and getting essentially exactly what he wants and showing who's, who's in control and who's the boss.

00:16:38.240 I'll just show a few clips. So first of all, here is Mark Carney being greeted by, uh, Donald Trump

00:16:44.140 and just optically like this, you know, uh, anti-vaxxer points out on X, uh, Mark Carney,

00:16:48.800 terrible posture, slouched shoulders, jello wrist, just awful. Let's play that clip. 0.80

00:16:53.060 So more, more just body language here. This is another, uh, post on X from the easy tweets,

00:17:15.280 uh, saying this, this is the very moment Mark Carney realized he lost everything. Just look at his body

00:17:20.140 language after hearing Trump's firm response. Like you don't even have to hear the sound here,

00:17:24.760 but you can just see Mark Carney. And this was kind of the theme Mario throughout the entire meeting

00:17:30.200 yesterday is it was just kind of awkward for Mark Carney, right? Because Donald Trump is so in

00:17:35.380 control. He's such a, you know, uh, he's so outspoken. He's so loud. He's so confident. He's

00:17:41.240 the president of the United States. It's his home territory. It's his office. And Carney just kind of

00:17:46.200 looked like he was just caught off guard. He was not, he was out of his depth. He was trying to

00:17:50.700 interject. He knew he had to say something because Trump just kept insulting him. Like, you know,

00:17:54.480 in a kind of like big smile on his face, like low level insults, but like saying that Canada

00:17:59.420 shouldn't be his own country, saying that he didn't like, uh, Carney's predecessor, uh, Justin Trudeau or

00:18:06.900 Chrystia Freeland talking about how Canada cheats on trade and that they were still going to go through

00:18:12.540 with like the tariffs, like all this stuff. And you can see Mark Carney trying to interject,

00:18:16.360 but like he wasn't quite able to, I just, I just didn't think it looked good. I don't know why he

00:18:21.240 agreed to this kind of a meeting in the first place. What was your like total overall takeaway

00:18:25.740 from the meeting yesterday? I think it was a, I told you so moment, uh, for all liberal voters.

00:18:34.540 And I think it basically showed that, um, Mark Carney wasn't going to be going elbows up. He wasn't the

00:18:41.740 person to be aggressive. He wasn't the person that's going to change anything with the tariffs.

00:18:47.560 Um, Donald Trump had already made his mind. I truly believe Mark Carney knew this. And I think

00:18:53.420 he knew that because he could have had that same meeting a month ago. People forget he won the

00:18:57.760 leadership, but he was our prime minister before the election actually happened. He took over for

00:19:02.460 Trudeau and instead he jumped on a plane and went to Europe. He did that strategically because he knew if

00:19:08.000 he had that same meeting, it would send the signal to all of Canada. Wow. He's not the guy. He's not

00:19:15.020 the guy. He's not, he didn't stand up to Donald Trump. He didn't say anything. He hasn't negotiated

00:19:19.280 anything directly with him. And now that he's in power, he knows this and that there's nothing

00:19:25.280 he can really do. And I think the, I think, I think Canadians got duped. I really do. I think 1.00

00:19:30.880 they got duped because this is supposed to be our elbows up guy. He's supposed to go in there

00:19:34.860 aggressive. He's got his PhD, you know, like this is like the most amazing thing in the world.

00:19:39.900 He knows the economy. He knows economics. He's going to get back at Trump. He didn't. He won't.

00:19:45.020 Well, it's funny. I saw someone point this out on X. I can't remember who it was,

00:19:47.820 so I don't have the specific example, but it was something along the lines of,

00:19:50.380 you know, liberals are very happy right now. They liked the fact that Carney went soft and sort of like

00:19:56.060 tried to appease Trump. Like for some reason that made liberals happy. Whereas it made conservatives

00:20:00.300 very angry because they feel like he, he lied basically about who he was and now he's getting

00:20:05.020 away with it. And I wouldn't say that I was angry by his performance, but I do agree with you that he,

00:20:10.300 you know, liberals got duped. Uh, Carney was supposed to go in and like, yeah, like you said, be the

00:20:16.140 economics professor and school Trump and like somehow show him that he's wrong. And that's not

00:20:20.620 what happened at all. I don't know that he kissed the ring, but he kind of did, right? He said,

00:20:25.420 Trump, you're a transformational president. And then he hit all the points that Trump had been

00:20:30.140 talking about throughout the campaign, right? Immigration, border, Arctic security. Like

00:20:33.900 he, he basically is saying that Canada is going to concede to everything, which we had, you know,

00:20:37.900 news reported this, right? Like we know that Ian Bremmer, head of Eurasia group said that Carney

00:20:42.300 will quietly fold after the campaign. That's exactly what happened. You posted this on X and I want to

00:20:46.700 play this clip because it's pretty, it's a, it's a longer clip, but it, it perfectly shows exactly what

00:20:52.220 Mark Carney has done. It exposes him. This was posted by our friend, Jasmine Lane. She writes,

00:20:57.340 Mark Carney got crushed by Trump today and Canadians are paying the price. He successfully pulled the

00:21:02.140 wool over our eyes. Don't believe me. Just watch this compilation. So let's play that clip, please.

00:21:07.420 I don't think we can change Donald Trump. I don't think so. Not at this stage.

00:21:14.540 No. Why not? Just the way it is.

00:21:17.100 And a person who draws his inspiration from President Trump, like Pierre Polyev will kneel

00:21:23.020 down before him. You're a transformational president, the focus on the economy with a

00:21:28.140 relentless focus on the American worker, securing your borders, providing, ending the scourge of 1.00

00:21:34.300 fentanyl and other opioids and, and securing the world. Before he stands up to him, he's in sync

00:21:43.820 with President Trump. I thought you were excellent. And I think we have a lot of things in common.

00:21:49.180 Pierre Polyev is also choosing to be willfully blind to the many and growing threats that face our

00:21:55.740 country. We don't really want cars from Canada. And we put tariffs on cars from Canada. And at a certain

00:22:03.180 point, it won't make economic sense for Canada to build those cars. And we don't want steel from Canada

00:22:09.580 because we're making our own steel and we're having massive steel plants being built right now as we

00:22:14.300 speak. We really don't want Canadian steel and we don't want Canadian aluminum and various other things.

00:22:20.940 So, I mean, you can't make it any clearer than that. Obviously, liberals got duped. Obviously,

00:22:26.460 Mark Carney is doing something totally different than what he was saying on the campaign. I guess my

00:22:31.660 question for you, Mario, is does it matter? Like, do liberals care? Do Canadians care?

00:22:35.660 No, because I honestly believe that they are spinning this to be like, he won. Did you see

00:22:42.300 how he said, you know, um, never, never, never, you know, for the 51st, like they're trying to spin

00:22:48.140 it in the most positive light. And it's not just them. It's, it's the mainstream media as well.

00:22:53.180 Like you look up anything related to the meeting, the meeting went perfect. And so for the average

00:22:58.460 person who maybe hasn't seen these clips and maybe won't, they will, you know, see the news headline on

00:23:04.300 social media, or they'll just quickly, you know, see a glance of it in the news. You think the

00:23:09.820 meeting went well, this, wow, this is our guy. But when you actually look at it, look at his body

00:23:14.060 language. He, he could tell he disagreed with Trump and he's just kind of biting his, like, it's almost

00:23:18.940 like he's biting his tongue and he wanted to say, but he couldn't interrupt. And I mean, he, he just,

00:23:23.740 he did not stand up for Canada. He didn't stand up for himself. He did not clarify the fact that,

00:23:28.860 you know, Mr. Trump, you know, or president Trump, we should clarify the fact that, you know,

00:23:34.940 you want our oil, you've asked for Keystone XL to be rebuilt. We would love to work that deal in with

00:23:40.620 you. But when you factor in the oil, and if you remove the oil that you desire from us,

00:23:45.900 we're technically then subsidizing you. Like we have, we, we, you actually have a surplus with Canada.

00:23:51.820 The only reason, you know, there's a subsidy of 200 billion, it's because of the oil,

00:23:56.380 because of what they, they export from us. And the only person in the first person that 0.82

00:24:01.580 made that clear in Canada was actually Danielle Smith when she went down to Mar-a-Lago and she

00:24:06.620 presented that to Trump. And so I think that is part of what helped in what you said in reducing

00:24:12.540 the tariff from 25% to 10% on oil instead. Well, it was, it was, it was 25 to 10. And yeah,

00:24:18.460 I covered this in my show yesterday because the CBC tried to do this ridiculous hit piece against

00:24:21.980 Danielle Smith, outraged that she spent $10,000 on flights, which just to point it out, like to 1.00

00:24:27.100 fly from Edmonton, Alberta to Palm Beach, Florida, that is basically as far as you can fly across

00:24:31.980 North America. The fact that she had four people, right? I thought, at first I thought it was just

00:24:35.500 two staffers and then another business person, but she went, there were four of them that went and they

00:24:39.820 only spent $10,000. I mean, that like, I wish the CBC would kind of try to dig into how much Trudeau

00:24:45.180 would spend on these delegations and these soirees that he would have. $10,000 is incredibly

00:24:50.300 economical. It made me respect Premier Smith even more. I think you pointed out to me that

00:24:53.500 she stayed at a Mariette hotel. Like she's not living large on the taxpayer dime, but CBC is trying

00:24:57.900 to make it seem scandalous that she went and had a diplomatic meeting with the most powerful and

00:25:03.180 important person in the world. So Mario, I appreciate your time. We're going to have you back for the

00:25:07.820 second segment after the break here. And we're going to get into a whole bunch more. So folks,

00:25:12.380 stick around. We will be back. The Candace Malcolm Show, thank you and God bless.
