Juno News - EMERGENCY LIVESTREAM： Trump launches ECONOMIC WARFARE on Canada

00:00:00.000 Okay.

00:00:30.000 You just went to the true live stream?

00:00:39.000 Yeah, you should go to us so we can introduce the show and then it will go to Trudeau.

00:00:57.000 He's probably going to be late.

00:01:07.520 We're on?

00:01:09.920 Okay, hi.

00:01:10.900 Candace Malcolm here, and I'm pleased to be joined with Kian Beckson from The Counter Signal.

00:01:15.520 And we're here to deliver some bad news, folks.

00:01:18.720 Trump did it.

00:01:19.880 He has followed through with what he said he was going to do.

00:01:22.640 It was not a bluff.

00:01:24.380 He wasn't just, you know, speaking off the cuff.

00:01:29.380 He was saying what he was going to do.

00:01:32.700 And it came today.

00:01:34.260 So Trump took to True Social today and let it be known that 25 percent tariffs will be imposed starting on Tuesday, 25 percent on all goods other than oil.

00:01:46.920 Oil will be down to 10 percent.

00:01:48.400 and Trump says that if Canada retaliates, that the tariffs will increase. So we are waiting

00:01:54.880 for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to speak. He's supposed to speak at 6.30. He's supposed to be at

00:01:59.040 6 Eastern. Then it got bumped to 8.30. It's 9.07. And we're still waiting for our Prime Minister,

00:02:05.280 who said he resigned, but he's still the Prime Minister for some reason. We are waiting for him

00:02:10.320 to come out and tell the nation what is happening and what his response will be. Kian, thank you so

00:02:17.080 much for joining us on this broadcast. What do you make of all of this so far? Yeah, no problem.

00:02:22.840 Trudeau being late is just like perfect for him right now. He's been completely AWOL, not just

00:02:28.080 since he announced his resignation, but really since he took office. It's the perfect metaphor.

00:02:34.100 Trudeau's leadership is the reason we're in this position. Trump does what he says he's going to

00:02:38.520 do. He always has. From his first term to his second term, he's always followed through. And

00:02:44.120 a lot of people a lot of CBC pundits right now are going to be telling us that Donald Trump is

00:02:48.920 the enemy now like look I like Donald Trump do I like what he's doing to Canada right now

00:02:54.300 absolutely not but the reason he's doing this is because he's putting America first and he sees

00:03:00.080 Canada as weak he sees Justin Trudeau's leadership or should I say lack thereof over this past week

00:03:06.940 while the world was watching while our American neighbors were gearing up for serious trade talks

00:03:11.580 What was Trudeau doing? Absolutely nothing. His itinerary was literally blank for two of the last three days. Not one meeting, not one strategy session to counter this looming disaster. It's been like he's been on vacation while the economy was on the brink.

00:03:26.980 Trump's decision to impose these tariffs, it's not just out of thin air, it's a direct result of Trudeau's failure to manage, to engage seriously with this new administration.

00:03:38.520 Do you remember when Trudeau went to Mar-a-Lago?

00:03:40.900 Instead of coming back with concrete plans or even a hint of what was actually discussed, we got radio silence.

00:03:47.780 As Canadians, as the stakeholders of that meeting, we got nothing.

00:03:51.900 Trudeau has been more focused on looking good for photo ops than actually doing the hard work of diplomacy.

00:03:57.540 And we are the ones that are about to pay the price.

00:04:00.580 What about the drug prices?

00:04:01.900 Trump's been talking about fentanyl constantly, about drugs pouring over our borders into their borders.

00:04:07.540 Now, granted, it's been going both ways.

00:04:09.800 But what is Trudeau's response been?

00:04:12.320 Crickets.

00:04:12.900 His strategy has been hoping that the problem will go away if he ignores it long enough.

00:04:18.020 But the newsflash is it's not going to work like that with Donald Trump.

00:04:22.420 Well, you know, it's interesting, Kian, because when Trump or when Trudeau went down to Mar-a-Lago, that was when the 51st state meme started coming out.

00:04:30.620 That's when Trump started talking about it. And Trump said over and over that he asked Justin Trudeau what would happen if we put on 25 percent tariffs.

00:04:38.960 According to Trump, Trudeau said it would destroy our country. It would end Canada.

00:04:45.140 That doesn't really seem like a very good negotiating strategy. Like, if you're really

00:04:49.300 down there, and you think this guy is serious, and you think that he wants to, you know, send

00:04:54.660 a message, he thinks that, you know, the drugs are a major problem, the illegal immigration is

00:04:59.700 a major problem. He is seriously concerned about these things. And what does our Prime Minister do?

00:05:05.060 He goes straight up and says, our greatest weakness, like, if you impose these tariffs,

00:05:09.940 we won't exist as a country anymore. No wonder Trump is going to pick up on that and push that

00:05:15.860 in, because Trudeau told him that. I don't understand why Trudeau would have said that

00:05:20.100 in the first place. I think the media is not making nearly a big enough deal out of the fact

00:05:24.580 that Trudeau said that, because I think he was really actually setting Donald Trump up.

00:05:28.660 And if you look at, you know, Melanie Jolie, the foreign minister, was down in Washington,

00:05:33.140 DC, and what was she doing? She was meeting with Democrats. She was meeting with liberal Democrats

00:05:38.980 and posting smiley selfies and pictures of herself on x with these democrats it's like hello do you

00:05:46.500 understand anything about partisan politics like you going down and meeting with democrats doesn't

00:05:51.540 help at all that's not diplomacy that's not at all diplomacy what danielle smith was doing was

00:05:56.420 diplomacy trying to uh cut a deal folks we've got one eye on the podium here justin trudeau

00:06:02.660 is supposed to address the country he was supposed to have come out a couple of hours ago uh we don't

00:06:07.380 know what he's going to say but one thing is clear kian that donald trump has said that any

00:06:11.780 retaliatory measure will be met with harder and stronger tariffs so from my perspective

00:06:19.300 i'm terrified like 25 coming in on tuesday will be devastating our economy is already incredibly

00:06:25.620 weak right after 10 years of justin trudeau printing money like you know there's no tomorrow

00:06:31.380 inflating the economy like the economy is on the rails falling off the rails yeah and the idea

00:06:38.100 that you know the strongest leader in the world the strongest country in the world is threatening

00:06:42.260 tariffs and and threatening to to possibly double them again or who knows i i don't think retaliatory

00:06:48.340 tariffs are the way to go but that seems to be uh where we're headed seems to be sort of the

00:06:52.660 unanimous position of you know canadian politics now i don't i don't want to get too deep into

00:06:58.420 reading the responses we will go through them we'll react trudeau's on okay let's go to trudeau

00:07:03.060 then 25 percent tariffs on canadian exports to the united states and 10 on canadian energy

00:07:11.140 a decision that should the elect to proceed with should take effect on tuesday february 4th

00:07:18.660 cette décision met en péril une relation économique historique

00:07:23.220 – a relationship that has been the source of so much richness, prosperity and possibility

00:07:30.760 of the two sides of the border.

00:07:33.460 Tonight, first, I want to speak directly to Americans, our closest friends and neighbours.

00:07:42.640 This is a choice that, yes, will harm Canadians, but beyond that, it will have real consequences

00:07:50.400 for you, the American people.

00:07:53.920 As I have consistently said,

00:07:56.540 tariffs against Canada will put your jobs at risk,

00:08:01.940 potentially shutting down American auto assembly plants

00:08:05.620 and other manufacturing facilities.

00:08:08.400 They will raise costs for you,

00:08:11.260 including food at the grocery stores and gas at the pump.

00:08:15.500 They will impede your access to an affordable supply

00:08:18.860 vital goods crucial for U.S. security, such as nickel, potash, uranium, steel, and aluminum.

00:08:29.400 They will violate the free trade agreement that the President and I, along with our Mexican

00:08:35.060 partner, negotiated and signed a few years ago.

00:08:40.100 But it doesn't have to be this way.

00:08:44.220 As President John F. Kennedy said many years ago, geography has made us neighbors, history

00:08:51.620 has made us friends, economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies.

00:09:02.280 That rang true for many decades prior to President Kennedy's time in office and in the decades

00:09:08.440 since from the beaches of normandy to the mountains of the korean peninsula from the fields of flanders 0.80

00:09:17.160 to the streets of kandahar we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours

00:09:27.560 during the iranian hostage crisis those 444 days we worked around the clock

00:09:33.960 from our embassy to get your innocent compatriots home during the summer of 2005 when hurricane

00:09:42.040 katrina ravaged your great city of new orleans or mere weeks ago we sent water bombers to tackle 0.88

00:09:50.120 the wildfires in california during the day the world stood still september 11 2001 when we

00:10:01.240 provided refuge to stranded passengers and planes. We were always there, standing with

00:10:10.340 you, grieving with you, the American people. Together, we've built the most successful

00:10:20.840 economic, military and security partnership the world has ever seen, a relationship that

00:10:27.200 has been the envy of the world. Yes, we've had our differences in the past, but we've

00:10:34.280 always found a way to get past them. As I've said before, if President Trump wants to usher

00:10:42.700 in a new golden age for the United States, the better path is to partner with Canada,

00:10:51.380 to punish us. Canada has critical minerals, reliable and affordable energy, stable democratic

00:11:01.000 institutions, shared values, and the natural resources you need. Canada has the ingredients

00:11:09.480 necessary to build a booming and secure partnership for the North American economy, and we stand

00:11:16.300 at the ready to work together. Let's take a moment to talk about our shared border.

00:11:24.380 Our border is already safe and secure, but there's always more work to do. Less than

00:11:32.540 1% of fentanyl, less than 1% of illegal crossings into the United States come from Canada.

00:11:41.820 But hearing concerns from both Canadians and Americans, including the American president

00:11:47.060 himself, we're taking action.

00:11:51.220 We launched a $1.3 billion border plan that is already showing results.

00:11:58.380 Because we too are devastated by the scourge that is fentanyl, a drug that has torn apart

00:12:05.620 communities and caused so much pain and torment for countless families across Canada, just

00:12:12.380 like in the United States. A drug that we too want to see wiped from the face of this

00:12:18.120 earth. A drug whose traffickers must be punished. As neighbors, we must work collaboratively

00:12:28.320 to fix this. Unfortunately, the actions taken today by the White House split us apart instead

00:12:38.300 of bringing us together. Tonight, I am announcing Canada will be responding

00:12:46.240 to the U.S. trade action with 25 percent tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods.

00:12:57.440 This will include immediate tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods as of Tuesday, followed

00:13:04.360 by further tariffs on $125 billion worth of American products in 21 days' time to allow

00:13:12.440 Canadian companies and supply chains to seek to find alternatives.

00:13:17.600 Ce soir, j'annonce la réplique du Canada. Des tarifs douaniers de 25 % sur 155 milliards

00:13:27.480 de dollars de marchandises américaines. Dès mardi, 30 milliards de dollars de produits

00:13:34.060 américains vont être touchés par ces tarifs, et dans 21 jours, pour donner le temps aux

00:13:39.920 compagnies canadiennes de trouver des options alternatives, ce sera le cas pour 125 milliards

00:13:46.360 de dollars de marchandises de plus.

00:13:50.080 Like the American tariffs, our response will also be far-reaching and include everyday

00:13:56.140 items such as American beer, wine, and bourbon, fruits and fruit juices, including orange

00:14:03.260 juice, along with vegetables, perfume, clothing, and shoes.

00:14:08.760 It'll include major consumer products like household appliances, furniture, and sports

00:14:14.620 equipment and materials like lumber and plastics, along with much, much more.

00:14:23.020 And as part of our response, we are considering, with the provinces and territories, several

00:14:28.860 non-tariff measures, including some relating to critical minerals, energy, procurement

00:14:34.860 and other partnerships.

00:14:38.120 We will stand strong for Canada.

00:14:41.460 We will stand strong to ensure our countries continue to be the best neighbors in the world.

00:14:50.760 With all that said, I also want to speak directly to Canadians in this moment.

00:14:57.700 I'm sure many of you are anxious, but I want you to know we are all in this together.

00:15:06.080 The Canadian government, Canadian businesses, Canadian organized labour, Canadian civil society,

00:15:13.240 Canada's premiers, and tens of millions of Canadians from coast to coast to coast are

00:15:19.480 aligned and united. This is Team Canada at its best.

00:15:26.720 Plus tôt aujourd'hui, j'ai parlé avec les premiers ministres de toutes nos provinces

00:15:32.880 et territoires. On est unis et solidaires. Ils ont tous appuyé notre approche. On est

00:15:41.560 aussi alignés pour faire tomber les obstacles qui freinent le commerce entre nos provinces

00:15:46.920 et territoires et rendre ça plus facile pour les consommateurs de choisir des produits

00:15:52.240 de chez nous. Il y a quelques minutes, je me suis entretenu

00:15:57.480 That was Justin Trudeau responding in kind with 25% tariffs. Trudeau says that Canada will impose tariffs 25% on $155 billion worth of U.S. goods.

00:16:12.680 So here we are, Kian. We have now officially entered a trade war. We're not going to try to de-escalate. We're not going to try to strike a deal with Trump.

00:16:22.340 It seems that Trudeau is, again, I have to stop and just say, you know, this guy resigned.

00:16:28.640 You know, I woke up on January 6th with a notification, and then I saw Justin Trudeau

00:16:33.820 with my own eyes telling us that he was done, that he was resigning, that he wasn't going

00:16:38.040 to be our prime minister anymore.

00:16:39.160 And yet we still have to listen to him.

00:16:40.420 We still have to hear him go out there with his drama, you know, big boy voice, speaking

00:16:46.680 sternly to the Americans, talking down to them.

00:16:48.800 Like, you know, he said during his message, the whole thing that he's going to address at first the message to the Americans.

00:16:55.540 And then he gives us all the sap, quoting John F. Kennedy, trying to like play up a nostalgic, you know, love for one another.

00:17:03.540 I'm sorry, it's not going to cut it. You know, it's 2025.

00:17:06.580 Trump is issuing, you know, he's ushering his country into the golden age and he sees Canada as an impediment and he is smacking Trudeau around.

00:17:16.000 Trudeau doesn't understand that. He is about a joke. Like, I know that it's supposed to elicit

00:17:20.140 like patriotism and pride and like, yeah, we're on the same side. When I hear Justin Trudeau speak,

00:17:25.440 I just feel like so ashamed that he is the one that is representing us, that he is the one

00:17:30.520 speaking for us. I don't want him to be our prime minister anymore. He needs to resign.

00:17:34.780 We need an election. Like, I know it's not going to happen right now because we're in the midst of

00:17:39.400 this and this is going to, you know, Trudeau is going to use this to continue to promote the

00:17:44.260 Liberals, it's all like so much of the reaction that we're seeing from politicians right now

00:17:47.580 is all about their own political careers and pushing for their own elections and their own,

00:17:51.980 you know, Mark Carney saying this, Pierre Politeff saying this. And, you know, deep down,

00:17:55.560 it's all just about them trying to win an election. It's not actually what's best for Canada.

00:18:00.960 It's just, it's such a shame that we are here at this point. Trudeau barely even mentions the

00:18:07.280 major issue that Trump has talked about, which is immigration and fentanyl and drugs. Yes,

00:18:11.740 He mentioned it in passing, but obviously he hasn't done enough, Kian, to address those issues.

00:18:16.940 If he had, we wouldn't be in this position.

00:18:19.480 Here we are, February 1st.

00:18:21.400 Trump said he was going to impose these tariffs, and here they are.

00:18:24.360 And I think it's just going to be absolutely devastating for our economy.

00:18:27.740 Our economy is already incredibly weak.

00:18:29.940 People are suffering so much from this cost of living crisis that has come from Justin Trudeau's taxes and his inflationary policies.

00:18:36.660 And now we're going to have another 25 percent each way.

00:18:39.460 like this is just going to be absolutely deadly for our economy and the idea that canada can

00:18:44.500 engage in a trade war with the united states i'm sorry our economy is just absolutely minuscule

00:18:49.060 compared to theirs it is you know we're one tenth of the size of the population much less than that

00:18:53.620 as a percentage of their their economy versus ours like we don't stand a chance this isn't

00:18:58.580 going to go well for us i don't understand kian what do you think i'm trying to not lose uh lose

00:19:06.340 my marbles after having to listen to yet another uh impassioned brainless speech from our prime

00:19:13.860 minister it after hearing that it becomes more and more clear that justin trudeau and the liberals

00:19:20.260 are using this as a sort of october surprise and are intentionally tanking the economy to profit

00:19:28.260 politically off of the backs of canadians who are now going to have to pay in untold levels of

00:19:35.940 of economic pain so that he can stand there with Melanie Jolie and Dominic LeBlanc, who looks like 0.97

00:19:42.480 an absolute clown, by the way. They look like they're in shell shock, that they don't understand 0.92

00:19:47.140 why this is happening. And I know exactly why it's happening. Folks, this is what happens when

00:19:52.160 you elect a leader who is more interested in virtue signaling than actual governance. Trudeau's

00:19:57.680 blank itineraries this week are a metaphor for his entire term empty devoid of substance and

00:20:06.120 completely out of touch with the needs of Canadians and Americans he said that Canada has always been

00:20:13.340 there for America for America talking about the streets of Kandahar and the peaks of the Korean

00:20:19.620 Peninsula going on and on about how Canadians have been there for Americans and it's true 1.00

00:20:24.000 They haven't been. But the prime minister that does not get to claim any of that is Justin Trudeau. He has been nowhere to be seen when it comes to building the relationship between Canada and the United States, when he's not taking partisan potshots, as you mentioned, talking about how Americans are actually stupid because they didn't elect a woman and shatter the glass ceiling.

00:20:49.840 And that's where progress really would have been seen. And gosh, if only Americans were as smart as us Canadians who have gender balance cabinets and oh, it's 2015 and blah, blah, blah. And then he takes credit for sending water bombers down to the United States. That wasn't Justin Trudeau. That was the government of Quebec. That was Daniel Smith who actually sent Albertan firefighters down to Los Angeles to help save Americans. But Justin Trudeau is taking credit for that. 0.98

00:21:16.920 so all of Canadians uh to all the Canadians that are going to be feeling the pinch because of these

00:21:23.860 tariffs the CBC is going to be blaming Donald Trump every left-wing pundit is going to say

00:21:31.100 that we are the victims here and you know to be fair the everyday Canadian they are the victim 0.70

00:21:36.340 but we're only a victim because we've been we've allowed ourselves to be victimized by political

00:21:42.400 incompetence like justin trudeau justin trudeau's negligence has put our economy in jeopardy and

00:21:49.040 it's high time that we demand better leadership than this this is embarrassing that we we sit 1.00

00:21:55.280 here for two hours waiting for this moron to come out on stage and speak these platitudes he said 0.99

00:22:00.960 nothing outside of the fact that he's going to destroy the canadian economy on principle because 0.99

00:22:05.920 he doesn't like donald trump and he's unwilling to do what needs to be done to protect our borders

00:22:11.040 to protect americans from fentanyl that's coming through mexico to canada and into the united states

00:22:15.520 and also to protect canadians he didn't really care when roxam road was spilling hundreds of

00:22:21.200 thousands of illegal migrants from the united states canada he doesn't care about borders 0.64

00:22:25.680 at all he said it wasn't even an issue in the speech that he just gave and then he said oh

00:22:29.680 but we did invest a billion dollars and now we're seeing progress just directly contradicting

00:22:35.200 himself. It's tough to put into words how brain dead this prime minister is. He really is in it 0.97

00:22:41.100 for the polling numbers. And I think that he is using this situation to benefit his party and his

00:22:46.900 own legacy. And it's embarrassing and it needs to stop. Well, I completely agree with so much

00:22:52.480 of what you said there, Kian. I couldn't help when he came out there and he started giving his speech

00:22:56.080 like he just to me, he's always a drama teacher and he's always got the flair and he's always

00:23:00.720 It's always fake and phony.

00:23:02.620 All I could think is this guy's relaunching his political career.

00:23:05.460 Like he's not done yet.

00:23:06.380 He's going to put his hat in and run for leader of the Liberal Party.

00:23:10.260 I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he just changed his mind and said, you know, times are too important and figure out a way to stick around.

00:23:17.380 Because that's obviously, you know, he's all about himself, loves the sound of his own voice, loves to go out there and be in front of the camera and give his best blue steel there.

00:23:27.880 So, folks, for anyone just joining us, I'm Candice Malcolm, joined by Keane Bextie of The Counter Signal.

00:23:34.340 So earlier today, we had major breaking news.

00:23:36.980 Donald Trump announced that there were 25 percent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports coming on Tuesday.

00:23:44.400 The only slight difference from the 25 percent across the board tariffs, which he had promised, was that we learned that oil will be tariffed at only 10 percent.

00:23:52.840 so maybe you can say thank you to Danielle Smith for that one, for her efforts. I assume that her

00:23:59.960 efforts are what led to that carve out of 10%. Not great still, but at least it's not the full 25%.

00:24:08.120 Trump said that if Canada retaliates, the tariffs will increase. Well, lo and behold,

00:24:13.080 our prime minister, who just won't go away, who resigned, but somehow he's still prime minister,

00:24:17.160 came out and spoke to the nation and said that Canada will in fact respond with retaliatory

00:24:23.180 tariffs. So we haven't yet heard Trump back. Trudor just spoke moments ago declaring that

00:24:29.120 Canada will impose a 25% tariff on our American neighbors in response to Trump's 25%. He said

00:24:37.020 that they will apply to $155 billion worth of goods and that 30 billion of those will go into

00:24:42.620 effect on Tuesday. So on Tuesday, Canada's economy will go into a major tailspin. It's going to be

00:24:52.140 scary, folks. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has said that this will be devastating for the auto

00:25:00.620 industry, the North American auto industry. And basically, this is uncharted territory. So we have

00:25:07.500 some of the statements here. So, well, first let's go through what Donald J. Trump said. This is what

00:25:14.380 he posted on to his True Social. I think we have the graphic. He says, today I've implemented a 25%

00:25:19.880 tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, 10% on Canadian energy, and a 10% additional tariff on

00:25:25.600 China. This was done through an International Emergency Economic Powers Act because of the

00:25:31.460 major threat of illegal aliens and deadly drugs killing our citizens, including fentanyl. We need

00:25:39.160 to protect Americans. And it is my duty as president to ensure the safety of all. I made a

00:25:43.740 promise on my campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our borders 1.00

00:25:49.300 and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it. Just a side note here, Kian, when I listen to the

00:25:56.040 legacy media, when I turn on CBC or when I listen, when I read the newspaper, I barely hear anything

00:26:01.980 about these issues. Like when the mainstream media look at Trump, they just think, you know,

00:26:07.420 this is all about his imperial desire to rule over North America. This is manifest destiny.

00:26:13.400 He wants Canada to be the 51st state, like tying it all back to Trump the man and Trump the, you

00:26:19.860 know, MAGA the movement. And they don't talk about the thing that Trump has said that he cares the

00:26:24.240 most about, which is stopping illegal aliens from crossing the border, stopping that flow

00:26:28.980 and, of course, deadly fentanyl. Look, all you have to do is look at Sam Cooper. Sam Cooper is

00:26:34.640 one of the best, if not the best investigative journalists in the country, and he has uncovered

00:26:38.640 an unbelievable web of basically like Chinese mob, mafia in Canada, mostly in British Columbia, 0.53

00:26:48.220 you know, tied into all kinds of money laundering. Canada is absolutely full of money laundering

00:26:53.820 And to the point where our institutions like like the fact that we let other countries get away with this kind of stuff in our country.

00:27:01.260 And yes, there are fentanyl labs and yes, they're being distributed like British Columbia has become the world headquarter in some ways of fentanyl.

00:27:09.100 It's being distributed all over the world from Canada and we don't we don't have a handle on it.

00:27:14.980 We can't stop it. And it's barely discussed. Trudeau hardly mentioned it.

00:27:18.900 We do have a problem with illegal immigration. We do have a problem with fentanyl. 0.99

00:27:22.600 We do have a problem with nefarious and adversarial regimes being able to operate in our country without any consequence.

00:27:31.660 I mean, there was a foreign interference election study commission studied it for months and months and months.

00:27:39.020 For two years, we heard about how there were traitors in our parliament and how they were going to come out with something strong.

00:27:43.760 and then you know comes out with a whimper and nothing to see here and whoops no uh no

00:27:48.860 interference just some naughty bit or just some you know uh unwitting uh behavior and and that's

00:27:55.220 and that's it and we move on like like we're not actually addressing the major problems in our

00:27:59.440 country our country is falling apart this isn't donald trump that is destroying our country our

00:28:03.580 country has been destroyed by justin trudeau and i just you know seeing him come out and give that

00:28:09.580 speech, like he just needs to go away. He needs to go away. He broke the country. He's not going

00:28:15.180 to be the one to fix it. We need to move on. Kian, what do you think? It stems from a complete lack

00:28:22.060 of focus and discipline from our federal government. You know, just today, the Liberals

00:28:29.160 announced 41 million, let me look, 41 million, I think it was, dollars towards an initiative

00:28:38.460 supporting advancing equality for the quote 2s lgbtqi community with that money they could have

00:28:47.760 leased dozens of black hawk helicopters for a decade and patrolled the border crack down on

00:28:56.140 drugs crack down on human trafficking but no this is what they thought that this was this was a press

00:29:02.240 release from the liberals today i just i couldn't believe what i was saying we did a story on it

00:29:07.260 because I was just in shock that they were just so out of touch with what Canadians need right 0.91

00:29:11.920 now. We don't need to advance to SLGBTQI equality right now when our economy is about to unravel 0.86

00:29:19.500 at the seams completely and totally. It's not just Trudeau, it's the entire liberal apparatus

00:29:28.860 of government that is responsible for this disaster. I have to say it, as much as I hate

00:29:34.540 Trudeau and think that he is, you know, very responsible for the situation we're in. It is

00:29:41.860 the entire liberal bureaucracy that is out of touch, not in focus, and not focused on dealing

00:29:48.720 with the issues that Canadians really, and North Americans at large, need support and answers for.

00:29:55.620 Justin Trudeau, I tweeted this, it went kind of pretty widespread today, that Justin Trudeau and

00:30:01.180 and Carney, all of the liberals, they want you to think that this is happening because Donald

00:30:06.760 Trump is mean. But it's actually happening because the US and all of our other allies have been very

00:30:12.660 clear about this, that they've lost confidence in us as a country. They don't see us as a peer

00:30:18.440 anymore. They see us like Mexico. They see us like China. We're failing at the basics. And you can't

00:30:26.340 partners with a country that is a danger to itself. Justin Trudeau said that we're this

00:30:31.820 bastion of democracy, and we're super trustworthy on that front. But you said it perfectly.

00:30:37.580 There's traitors in our parliament, and we're not strong enough to drag them out by their toes

00:30:45.060 and string them up. It's really unfortunate that we are willing to sacrifice what it means to be

00:30:51.680 Canadian at the altar of Justin Trudeau and the Liberals? Well, I think so many Canadians are done

00:30:56.900 with it. And, you know, just looking at the polls, I mean, Trudeau is finished, and nobody wants him

00:31:03.300 out there negotiating for us. He's doing a terrible job. He shouldn't even be there. And, you know,

00:31:09.460 it's interesting to see the other candidates sort of jockeying position. Mark Carney put out his own

00:31:15.040 video right around the same time as Justin Trudeau was speaking. And again, it's just

00:31:19.900 electioneering, like the Liberals would so much rather run an election on dealing with Trump and

00:31:25.340 who's going to be like the stronger anti-Trump voice, because that is harder for Pierre Polyev

00:31:30.300 to manage, rather than it be a referendum on the last nine years, which have been an absolute

00:31:35.820 disaster. Well, folks, thank you so much for joining us. We threw this live stream together

00:31:41.340 quite quickly. You know, it's Saturday night, 9.30 my time, I put my kids to bed, and I was about to

00:31:47.260 like crawl into bed and go to go to sleep and then i realized that all of this was happening

00:31:51.260 i turned my computer like oh my goodness okay i need to get on a live stream so i appreciate

00:31:55.420 uh everyone watching us kian uh always a pleasure for you uh to join the the channel and the network

00:32:01.260 if you're watching uh please give this video a like it really helps us uh helps people discover

00:32:05.420 the video helps make sure as many people as possible can see our work at true north uh if

00:32:11.100 If you haven't already subscribed to the channel as well, it really helps us out.

00:32:16.800 Okay, so let's go back to some of the responses.

00:32:20.440 So we had Doug Ford just come out like really blunt.

00:32:24.340 You know, he was out on CNN.

00:32:25.600 He's out there trying to make the case.

00:32:27.340 I think he's probably a better person to make the case to Americans as to maybe why this

00:32:32.160 isn't the best idea.

00:32:32.980 I would much rather Doug Ford be out there than Justin Trudeau.

00:32:36.180 And I say that as someone who has never voted for Doug Ford.

00:32:38.740 and I'm not a big fan, but on this front, I think he's a better communicator, and I'd rather him be

00:32:44.480 out there negotiating because he kind of speaks the same language as Trump and as many Americans.

00:32:49.040 But he posted quite a somber message on X. He said, I'm extremely disappointed that Donald Trump

00:32:55.360 has chosen to walk away from a trading relationship that for decades has made life better for millions

00:33:01.020 of workers on both sides of the border. He goes on, he says, the coming days and weeks will be

00:33:06.420 incredibly difficult. Trump's tariffs will devastate our economy. They'll put 450,000 jobs

00:33:12.740 at risk across the province. This is Ontario. Every sector and region will feel the impact.

00:33:19.300 He says, none of us want to be here, but Canada and Ontario have faced down this kind of challenge

00:33:24.020 before. Each time we've emerged stronger, more united, more determined than ever. So he's also,

00:33:31.220 you know he's he's running an election to recall folks that he's called an election in ontario so

00:33:36.660 he's decided that he's gonna pull the plug early on his government and go for another four years

00:33:42.420 um and he it's gonna win a huge majority because there isn't really an opposition to him okay let's

00:33:48.660 go to pierre poly of pierre poly of um also posted quite a lengthy uh response here he says i'm gonna

00:33:57.140 going to get your opinion after this, Kian, because I don't know about this response from

00:34:02.960 Pierre Paliyev. I think he's playing it a little too safe, but here we go. I'll give it a read. He

00:34:07.000 says, we must put Canada first. That is why common sense conservatives condemn President

00:34:12.340 Trump's massive unjust and unjustified tariffs on Canada's already weak economy. Canada is the

00:34:18.720 United States' closest neighbor, greatest ally, and best friend. We shared the world's longest

00:34:24.060 undefended border and fought alongside Americans in two wars, Korea and Afghanistan, where 158 of

00:34:29.900 our brave men and women died, helping the United States avenge 9-11. There is no justification

00:34:36.380 whatsoever for this treatment. The Liberals must put aside their partisan interests and recall

00:34:40.620 Parliament now to pass the Canada First Plan that will, one, retaliate with a dollar-for-dollar

00:34:46.140 tariff carefully aimed at maximizing impact on American companies while minimizing impact

00:34:51.340 on Canadian consumers. Good luck with that. Two, put all the tariff revenues into help for affected

00:34:57.260 workers and businesses. Government should not keep a dime of the new revenue. Three, pass a massive

00:35:03.580 emergency bring it home tax cut to bolster the economy, stop inflation, and save and create jobs.

00:35:10.220 Four, immediately scrap the Liberal Anti-Resource Law Bill C-69, Greenlight LNG plans, pipelines,

00:35:16.700 mines, factories, and port expansions. I'm definitely for that one. Number five, bring in

00:35:21.620 truly free trade within Canada by knocking down interprovincial barriers. That's a no-brainer.

00:35:26.800 Number six, rebuild our military and take back control of our borders to regain the confidence

00:35:31.220 of our partners, assert our sovereignty, protect our people, and put Canada first. We will protect

00:35:36.860 our economy, defend our sovereignty, bring home production and paychecks, and never back down.

00:35:41.280 we'll put Canada first now and always. So to me, to me, it's a little bit like, like all the

00:35:47.420 internal stuff is like, yeah, definitely. Like, like, why does Canada, Canada have so many trade

00:35:51.920 barriers interprovincially? That's such nonsense. Yes, we need to have a better military. Yes,

00:35:57.040 we need to build more pipelines. But Pierre is basically calling for the same thing that Trudeau

00:36:02.340 just said, which is dollar for dollar retaliatory tariffs there. What do you think, Kian? 0.72

00:36:06.940 it the difficulty here for Pierre is that he's listening I think a lot to the mainstream media

00:36:17.540 and he's hearing them justify Trudeau's response and a team Canada response and you know the

00:36:26.100 mainstream media is always happy to tax people more and that is what a tarot is it's a tax

00:36:31.700 I appreciate that Pierre said that he doesn't want the Canadian government to keep a dime of it. That's going to be important that we watch and audit Justin Trudeau to make sure that he's not profiteering off this financially as well to cover up his deficit.

00:36:47.260 it um i wish that pierre was a little bit more speaking you know i think that i think trump

00:36:56.580 responds to strength and he responds to people who think like him uh you mentioned that about

00:37:03.000 doug ford and i think pierre could learn a little bit about this this is not the time to to agree

00:37:09.200 that justin trudeau is on the right path here i think that we've analyzed why he's not um these

00:37:15.600 tariffs are going to hurt Canadians. They're taxes on Canadians. That's the problem here.

00:37:21.400 And I don't think that that's the way to go. I think that there's anything but consensus on that

00:37:26.620 outside of the Ottawa bubble. When Canadians go to get the orange juice that they trust and

00:37:33.140 drink every day and give to their kids, and they can no longer afford it, you know, maybe,

00:37:38.300 and here's the other thing, maybe if our economy was in a good position right now,

00:37:42.120 we could stomach some tariffs, but we can't. The economy was already a dumpster fire before

00:37:48.300 Justin Trudeau took this action, and agreeing with him that this is the right course of action

00:37:53.340 is just going to hurt Canadians more, which is deeply, deeply unfortunate.

00:37:58.840 Pauliette started off saying, yeah, we've got to put Canada first. Great. That's a sentiment I can 1.00

00:38:04.560 get behind, especially when you consider the context. Trump's throwing these massive tariffs

00:38:09.100 at us and what does polyeth think that we should do well a canada first plant he's been talking

00:38:14.940 about that for a long time i like it um he's condemning these tariffs fine but because canada

00:38:23.340 is america america's closest neighbor their greatest ally we can't forget that we are

00:38:30.460 responsible for the situation that we have put ourselves in we have allowed the border to become

00:38:38.620 this no man's land where where where drugs cartel members and thugs pour over without any care of uh

00:38:49.820 or or or any concern that the rcmp or fbi are going to attack them i think it's a what what

00:38:55.740 pierre should say is that this is a mutual problem and he should lay out the solution for it for when

00:39:01.820 he takes power and worked with donald trump to solve the solution i mean pierre doesn't need

00:39:07.180 to go uh go through this and explain why justin true should is rightfully tariffing canadians

00:39:14.140 he needs to be explaining to donald trump why this is going to change when he takes power

00:39:19.020 because i think that these tariffs you know if justin trudeau wants to keep escalating as donald

00:39:23.660 trump has said to not do because the tariffs will increase it's a trade war and the only way this

00:39:29.660 changes is with a change in leadership at the very top of our our government uh otherwise i think

00:39:35.580 we're in for a hell of a ride for the next few months i couldn't agree more okay so we have bc

00:39:41.580 premier uh david just when you think that justin trudeau is the biggest joke in the country um you

00:39:46.460 know here you have a bc premier stepping up and say i i'm gonna do you uh justin trudeau you're

00:39:51.580 gonna go one more so uh bc premier david ebbe declares that his first step in retaliate in

00:39:57.580 retaliating against the Americans is to tariff British Columbia liquor stores the government

00:40:03.660 liquor stores out west and telling them to stop buying liquor from red states so you can still

00:40:09.580 get your California wine you can still get your whatever they produce in New York your IPAs but

00:40:17.900 you can't get your Jack Daniels or your whiskey from Kentucky you can't you can't get red state 0.81

00:40:24.220 alcohol. So we're now even zeroing in even harder on Donald Trump and supposedly the Republicans

00:40:31.340 who voted him in. What a silly, silly thing to do. I'll read Daniel Smith's response as well. 0.99

00:40:39.660 She says, I'm disappointed with U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to place tariffs on

00:40:43.900 Canadian goods. This decision will harm Canadians and Americans like and strain the important

00:40:47.740 relationship and alliance between our two nations. Alberta will do everything in its power to convince

00:40:52.300 to the U.S. President and Congress, as well as the American people, to reverse this mutually

00:40:56.780 destructive policy. We note that reduced 10% tariff for Canadian energy, which is partially

00:41:03.980 a recognition of the advocacy undertaken by our government and industry to the U.S. administration,

00:41:08.540 pointing out the substantial wealth created in the U.S. by American companies, tens of thousands

00:41:13.820 of American workers, to upgrade and refine approximately $100 billion of Canadian crude

00:41:19.420 into 300 billion of products sold over the world to the same company. So she goes on and on to talk

00:41:26.540 about the benefits of the relationship and what she thinks Canada should be doing, including

00:41:33.420 securing our borders against illegal immigration and drugs, moving both directions, 0.77

00:41:37.260 achieving our nation's 2% of GDP NATO commitment by 2027. She sort of reluctantly says that she

00:41:43.740 she will agree with the federal Canadian government. She says Alberta will work collaboratively

00:41:51.020 with our federal government and fellow provinces on a proportionate response to the imposed

00:41:59.720 U.S. tariffs through a strategic use of Canadian import tariffs on U.S. goods. So she's sort

00:42:05.400 of not fully coming around to this idea. Remember, it was a few weeks ago that she refused to

00:42:10.660 sign that joint statement by the premiers and Trudeau because she didn't want to jump ahead

00:42:15.500 and say, yes, we're going to do retaliatory tariffs. Here she's saying that she will work

00:42:20.240 collaboratively with them with the strategic use of it. So she's sort of reluctantly saying

00:42:24.680 we're going to do it. But I think that the message from Danielle there was much more

00:42:28.220 on the money. Like we have to continue negotiating. We're going to continue to make the case,

00:42:33.340 right? Not getting up on your high horse and like explaining to the Americans how wrong they are,

00:42:39.080 but say you know we're going to continue to do use diplomacy and make inroads and hopefully we

00:42:44.360 can get past this like nobody wants an economic war here and uh yeah trudeau does he wants it

00:42:52.120 he's thriving off of this yeah no you're right i mean seeing seeing him get up there and and give

00:42:58.760 his speech you know i really do think that he's like already planning his comeback his political

00:43:03.720 come back. And you mentioned Daniel Smith. I feel like she's the only adult in the room.

00:43:12.120 She is Team Canada. She is the person that's put us in the only good thing that has come from this.

00:43:19.880 Rewind a week, two weeks. It was a 25% tariff on Canada, full stop, all goods. We were wringing

00:43:28.440 our hands horrified what that would do to the automotive industry uh every industry out east

00:43:36.360 fishing and the energy industry that and then that's when daniel stands up and says okay i'm

00:43:40.840 going to go down south i'm going to speak with the president and now here we are 10 that's 15

00:43:45.880 percent now 10 is going to be disastrous for for western canadian select oil it's not going to be

00:43:51.240 good um you can see it in our dollar already people are preparing to not be buying that oil

00:43:56.680 it's bad for our forex it's going to be bad for our uh our the industries both upstream and

00:44:02.280 downstream in the oil and gas industry but at the end of the day that 15 is going to save jobs

00:44:10.840 there are an amount of jobs that now will not be lost thanks to the diplomacy that daniel smith

00:44:18.120 has done diplomacy is a weird word to use with a premier of a province in canada it's almost

00:44:23.320 unheard of in our system of government for a premier to be having diplomatic relationship

00:44:29.800 with a foreign government let alone the president of the united states but she saw the gap she saw

00:44:37.240 the bubble the leadership vacuum and she decided to take action so i think credit where credit is

00:44:43.400 due for her you know naheed nancy the leader of the alberta ndp not to get too into alberta

00:44:50.040 specific politics here he was angry at danielle smith he said that this was her fault mocha if 0.92

00:44:55.800 you could bring up his twitter and show people what daniel uh what naheed and she was saying

00:45:00.600 today she just tweeted it a few hours ago saying that this is her responsibility that because she

00:45:06.600 went down south to speak with donald trump these tariffs are now happening it's completely out of

00:45:11.480 touch with any political sensibilities any understanding of the diplomacy that danielle

00:45:17.080 was doing premier smith was doing when she was down there i was down there with her i interviewed

00:45:21.480 her i spoke with her and she sounded serious dead serious she was not happy to be there but she knew

00:45:27.400 that she had to be there and that's um you know that's leadership at the end of the day absolutely

00:45:33.960 i mean she's the only one that's doing it i i i sort of get strategically why pierre polyev doesn't

00:45:39.240 get on a plane and go down to the inauguration and go down to mar-a-lago like that would be

00:45:43.960 kind of, I guess, political suicide to like many of like the red Tories who live in Ontario. I

00:45:48.440 don't know. I would like to see Pierre engaging because I think that he needs to show Canadians

00:45:55.560 and show Trump. Look, this Trudeau government is on the way out. They are incredibly unpopular

00:46:01.080 and they have all but destroyed Canada. Our economy is incredibly weak and they have weakened

00:46:05.560 it. They have destroyed it with their carbon taxes, with their anti-energy policies, their

00:46:09.160 inflationary spending, with their open border immigration. That's all going to end as soon 0.71

00:46:13.160 as a conservative government comes in so why don't you wait you know give us a few months

00:46:18.520 we're going to have an election we're going to get it done deal with me i'm going to be the

00:46:22.920 prime minister like that's what pierre polyev needs to be doing he needs to be speaking to

00:46:26.840 trump speaking his language making the case and you know i i when i see pierre come up with this

00:46:33.160 kind of thing i think he's just being a little too cautious he's he's being a little bit too

00:46:37.160 concern about you know the people in Toronto who read the Globe and Mail who you know are swing

00:46:43.160 voters look at the end of the day I think Pierre Polyam is going to win the next election whether

00:46:48.200 he wins a massive sweeping historic majority or whether he gets like a small like you know

00:46:55.160 squeaks through sort of like the way that I mean I hope he doesn't get a minority government but

00:47:01.880 you know i i think i think that at a certain point like pierre just needs to

00:47:06.200 stop worrying about what the laurentian elites in toronto think and the people who read the global

00:47:11.800 mail and people write for the gold mail and and just like go for what's best for the country like

00:47:17.080 canada's in serious trouble and like i don't say this with glee i i like this isn't something that

00:47:23.000 like brings me joy to say but like when i look at canada and what has happened over the past 10

00:47:27.960 years and specifically what's happened here in the last two years like the country is not in a good

00:47:32.680 shape economically culturally socially like there's so much division there's so much hate there's so

00:47:39.160 much you know so many people that are just totally demoralized and like you do surveys and you see

00:47:45.560 that 50 of young men want to move to the united states many do many go up and go and it's not

00:47:50.760 because they hate canada i'm sure a lot of those guys have maple leafs tattooed you know on their

00:47:55.640 chest it's like at the end of the day you go where there are opportunities and and you need to be

00:48:01.000 able to support your family feed your family and you look around i mean i'm sorry like cost a

00:48:05.960 million dollars to buy a crappy house in toronto like like there's nowhere to live in the city

00:48:11.080 and it's overrun i mean like the the the the rent prices are insane um you we've done stories at

00:48:18.040 true north about basements in like suburbs where there's like 20 guys living in one basement and

00:48:24.840 they're each renting a bed for like 200 bucks a month like it's just absolutely out of control

00:48:29.800 unbelievable it's not even touching um the crime the drugs the illegal immigration you know the 0.71

00:48:35.960 terrorists the really really terrible people that should never be operating in our country

00:48:41.480 uh the fact that there are all kinds of agents and like officials from adversarial countries

00:48:49.080 like China, there's like operating in Canada completely without, you know, even notice, 0.60

00:48:54.760 like, it's not even an issue that we talk about, but it's happening. There's just so many problems

00:48:59.320 in Canada. And, you know, it's, I just don't think that now is the time to just say, okay,

00:49:04.920 let's just get along and have this united team Canada approach. It's like, no, I want to see

00:49:09.960 the conservatives break out and take an approach much more like what Danielle Smith's doing. She's, 0.65

00:49:16.680 she's she's not coming across as extreme in any way by the way she's she's completely on track

00:49:22.200 she's completely rational every time she speaks it just it makes sense i think danielle smith is

00:49:27.160 really having a moment i think i see a lot of people in the chat like they're like let's like

00:49:31.480 she should be prime minister let's let's let's like danielle smith she really is showing um

00:49:36.360 you know she's thriving in this circumstance and it's it's nice to see it's it's definitely not

00:49:42.520 time for politics as usual um danielle has premier smith has read the room and she knows that she 0.78

00:49:48.760 understands that i hope that pierre does as well and my guess is that the calculus that's going

00:49:54.920 through his head is that he sees that donald trump is going to be unpopular with canadians

00:50:02.600 and even his base because the mainstream media and justin trudeau are going to be effective

00:50:08.920 at dodging the blood trudeau will be effective at dodging the blame personally and the mainstream

00:50:13.640 media will help him do that by point they've always hated donald trump they've always loved

00:50:18.200 trudeau we we know how this story goes we've seen this movie before um and pierre is weighing his

00:50:25.240 head well do i go down and talk with donald trump and do i take some of the blame for this potentially

00:50:30.840 politically personally for him if it doesn't get solved the answer is yeah maybe but the problem is

00:50:37.480 that we have allowed the mainstream media to define the narrative here already i mean not you

00:50:42.840 and i we're obviously trying to share the the news and the stories that the mainstream media tries to

00:50:48.840 keep hidden and the angles that they want to bury under the rug but canada has allowed the mainstream

00:50:55.800 media to shape opinion on this before it happened they had a month of lead up time they knew trump

00:51:01.560 was coming into office they knew these tariffs were coming they knew justin trudeau was weak

00:51:05.480 and they set this up hook line and sinker for justin trudeau to run away with and pierre

00:51:11.400 unfortunately i think has been a little bit caught off guard with this preparation that

00:51:15.960 they've all put together and executed pretty flawlessly to make themselves look like the

00:51:20.920 heroes that's why i'm glad that we have platforms like this like youtube and x and our our websites

00:51:27.080 the counter signal and true north so that people can actually get the news that they need an answer

00:51:32.760 too. I'm getting a, but I'll try to swipe away from that. People need to hear the story that the

00:51:43.580 mainstream media wants to keep covered, which is why I'm glad that we have these platforms. And

00:51:47.900 as you mentioned earlier, likes and subscriptions help a long way to help the algorithm go and share

00:51:54.400 this news with moderate Canadians who might be duped by people like Justin Trudeau and Rosemary

00:51:59.720 Barton into thinking that this really is Trump's fault when it was brought on by the Canadian

00:52:04.520 administration. Absolutely. I mean, Justin Trudeau is to blame. He's the one in the country,

00:52:10.440 and he, I mean, he just, he has to go. He has to go. So, Mercedes Stevenson, who's a reporter

00:52:18.600 over at Global, is saying that senior government sources say that the White House has warned

00:52:24.280 Prime Minister's office, Justin Trudeau, that if Canada implements retaliatory tariffs,

00:52:29.560 the US will hit Canada even harder. So, you know, we saw this just last week with Colombia, right?

00:52:36.520 Like, Colombia, apparently in the middle of the night, decided that they weren't going to take

00:52:40.680 a couple planes full of illegal criminals who have illegally been in the United States,

00:52:46.600 who are being deported. They were supposed to go back to Colombia, the Colombian president said,

00:52:50.920 no, we're not going to take them. And Trump, apparently from a golf course, like texting

00:52:55.400 in between holes, put out this order saying, we're going to slap you with 25% tariffs. We're

00:53:00.520 revoking all the visas for you and all your family members, a bunch of other measures.

00:53:04.200 And if this doesn't stop, we're going to double that tariff to 50%. Trump means business. This

00:53:09.880 is like F around and find out, right? And I think Justin Trudeau continues to F around. He continues

00:53:16.040 to kind of poke the poke the bear and say okay um like do you dare me to uh we'll do it and you do

00:53:23.160 it like playing this game of chicken as if we are two equals like as if our tariffs are going

00:53:29.080 to hurt them as much as their chairs hurt us i mean maybe if we were equal size with equal

00:53:33.880 populations and equal economies that might make a little bit more sense but it's just not the

00:53:38.280 reality like canada is so wholly dependent on the united states for our for our entire economy like

00:53:45.400 we need them we need them and so playing these kind of games especially when at this point i

00:53:50.520 get that he was elected he was elected three times but he is not a legitimate prime minister right

00:53:55.160 now he resigned he he has no business being propped up the way the jagmeet singh has been

00:53:59.880 propping him up i cannot believe that they allowed him to pro parliament like to just press pause

00:54:05.720 on our democracy this might be like the most consequential moment in this century for canada

00:54:13.160 like i i can't even think of a time that would be more important for our politicians to be in

00:54:18.840 ottawa at work and to be just debating and discussing a reaction like to see our parliament

00:54:26.200 in work to have like canadians had the ability to observe what's happening and to have some

00:54:32.280 accountability from the opposition to the government but we can't because trudeau pulled

00:54:36.920 the plug on parliament he prorogued like it's unbelievable to me that these guys aren't even

00:54:42.760 going to work like they're not even parliamentarians aren't even carrying out their business

00:54:47.480 in parliament because justin trudeau wants to step aside so that mark carney can become the first uh

00:54:55.720 world economic forum unelected prime minister it doesn't give you confidence it just feels

00:55:01.800 like the system is absolutely broken we need massive reforms we need massive change we have

00:55:07.480 basically an unelected prime minister right now who's appointing to an unelected body the senator

00:55:13.640 the senate 10 senators that are going to be filled at some point before truder leaves and it's all

00:55:19.000 being held up by a governor general who has no accountability to the people like what what kind

00:55:24.280 of system is this no wonder our country is absolutely failing when this is the way that

00:55:28.520 our institutions are set up they're set up to stop the people from having a say at a time when

00:55:35.080 canadians have a lot to say and it's just absolutely uh unbelievable unbearable i think i

00:55:41.880 don't know uh i'm not one of those people who thinks that canada should join the united states

00:55:46.280 or become the 51st state but i i totally understand uh why many many people would

00:55:51.480 yeah you know you said you said that this is going to do damage and you're right on a scale

00:56:00.500 of 10 to 1 our con every every ounce of pain we hope to extract against the the american

00:56:07.260 government uh well every ounce that trudeau hopes to extract is going to hurt us 10 times more than

00:56:15.440 it would ever hurt them there's simple concessions we can make here uh and they should have been

00:56:20.860 made a month ago. He told Israel, he said, get this done, get the hostages back, get a ceasefire

00:56:30.840 finished before I get into office or else there will be hell to pay. And guess what? They reached

00:56:36.500 a deal that nobody thought they could. He gave Justin Trudeau the same warning, fix the border,

00:56:43.820 fix the crime fix the drugs and he ignored him he knew that this would happen and he wanted to be

00:56:51.740 in front of that podium tonight he wants to keep people waiting because he wants his moment to

00:56:56.340 repair his legacy rewind just four months ago before trump won his election trudeau's polling

00:57:02.540 was worse than it had ever been and now he sees an opportunity to save his legacy and he's doing

00:57:09.680 that on the backs of Canadians. It's pathetic. You should never have let it happen. And the 1.00

00:57:15.820 only way this changes, and I'm saying this to Jagmeet Singh now, the only way this changes

00:57:21.840 is if he follows through with his word and brings the government down at the earliest

00:57:28.180 possible moment. If he doesn't, it will be the biggest betrayal in Canadian history.

00:57:35.560 well we just we we need to recall parliament we need to have parliamentarians at work and

00:57:43.880 jagmeet singh said that he was going to pull the plug as soon as that happens so um yeah you know

00:57:51.400 it's just it's it's it's unbelievable that these people are the ones that hold the balance of power

00:57:55.800 kian and i mean tuesday's going to be a rough day for the loony in the economy um but at this point

00:58:04.360 you know we don't have parliament justin trudeau was asked during his q a if he would bring back

00:58:07.800 parliament and he didn't really answer so uh no surprise there uh wouldn't be surprised at all

00:58:13.080 if jagmeet singh continues to prop up this government because he's been doing it for the

00:58:16.360 last two years inexplicably um and uh it's just a rough rough time for our country well folks
