In this episode, I discuss the role of the World Economic Forum in shaping Justin Trudeau's government, and why it's not so much that Davos controls the Trudeau government, as much as it does the other way around.
00:00:00.000This is the heart of the matter, that the experts and the elites at Davos express views that are not widely shared by Canadians.
00:00:08.720They're pretty extreme. They're pretty out there.
00:00:11.000Okay, but here's the real issue with Davos.
00:00:13.940It's not so much that it controls the Trudeau government.
00:00:16.380I don't think that Klaus Schwab picks up the phone and tells Justin Trudeau what to do.
00:00:20.420The problem is that Justin Trudeau and the liberals, and by that I mean broadly liberals in politics and media,
00:00:27.060including most of the media party here, is that they like global institutions.
00:00:31.680They favor globalism. They like the United Nations. They're aspirational.
00:00:35.800They like the idea of working together, and they truly believe in the power of these institutions.
00:00:41.160And that is counter to the growing sentiment in society, who feel like these global institutions don't work,
00:00:46.520and they're not working in Canada's best interest.
00:00:49.320They're not working in the best interest of Canadians.
00:00:51.660In fact, they sort of undermine our sovereignty.
00:00:53.600And so it's not so much that Trudeau is controlled by them, but it's that Trudeau is inspired by them.
00:00:58.780Trudeau and his liberal cabinet ministers love going to these kind of global events.
00:01:02.620They love virtue signaling. They love being at the forefront.
00:01:05.540They love the glowing profiles that they get from like-minded journalists who also go to these events.
00:01:11.000So time and time again, they leave Davos, and they come back and basically adopt exactly what was being talked about.
00:01:17.080So we have a bunch of examples. In June 2021, addressing climate change through carbon taxes,
00:01:22.280and they used Canada as an example of successful carbon taxes.
00:01:26.680Likewise, this idea of the Global Future Council on Energy Transition.
00:01:31.440There was a piece from 2021, Why We Need a Global Framework to Regulate Online Harm.
00:01:36.520That was talked about at the World Economic Forum, and it was adopted by Canadians.
00:01:40.680We've seen this also in regards to the United Nations.
00:01:43.380There was a huge uprising, mostly on the political right, a couple years ago when the United Nations introduced a global compact on migration
00:01:50.560that basically gave migrants the exact same rights as refugees and said that anyone has the right to travel to any country and try to get citizenship.
00:01:58.260And the media was very, you know, the media party were very upset, and they were saying, you know, this isn't law, this isn't ratified,
00:02:04.700this is just basically an aspirational international declaration, so why are conservatives getting worked up about it?
00:02:11.000Well, the idea is because Trudeau comes home and drafts his legislation based on the nonsense and the gobbledgoop that is being cooked up in these international forums.
00:02:20.280Again, we see it time and time again, which is why I'm personally very skeptical of the World Economic Forum,
00:02:25.160and I think that the criticism of the World Economic Forum is not a conspiracy theory.
00:02:29.560Sure, there are some conspiracy theories, and those should be debunked.
00:02:32.060It's not true that these people actually control the levers of power, but they inspire governments like the Trudeau government
00:02:38.500to do all kinds of awful policies that are terrible for the people of Canada.
