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.

00:00:00.000 This is the heart of the matter, that the experts and the elites at Davos express views that are not widely shared by Canadians.
00:00:08.720 They're pretty extreme. They're pretty out there.
00:00:11.000 Okay, but here's the real issue with Davos.
00:00:13.940 It's not so much that it controls the Trudeau government.
00:00:16.380 I don't think that Klaus Schwab picks up the phone and tells Justin Trudeau what to do.
00:00:20.420 The problem is that Justin Trudeau and the liberals, and by that I mean broadly liberals in politics and media,
00:00:27.060 including most of the media party here, is that they like global institutions.
00:00:31.680 They favor globalism. They like the United Nations. They're aspirational.
00:00:35.800 They like the idea of working together, and they truly believe in the power of these institutions.
00:00:41.160 And that is counter to the growing sentiment in society, who feel like these global institutions don't work,
00:00:46.520 and they're not working in Canada's best interest.
00:00:49.320 They're not working in the best interest of Canadians.
00:00:51.660 In fact, they sort of undermine our sovereignty.
00:00:53.600 And so it's not so much that Trudeau is controlled by them, but it's that Trudeau is inspired by them.
00:00:58.780 Trudeau and his liberal cabinet ministers love going to these kind of global events.
00:01:02.620 They love virtue signaling. They love being at the forefront.
00:01:05.540 They love the glowing profiles that they get from like-minded journalists who also go to these events.
00:01:11.000 So time and time again, they leave Davos, and they come back and basically adopt exactly what was being talked about.
00:01:17.080 So we have a bunch of examples. In June 2021, addressing climate change through carbon taxes,
00:01:22.280 and they used Canada as an example of successful carbon taxes.
00:01:26.680 Likewise, this idea of the Global Future Council on Energy Transition.
00:01:31.440 There was a piece from 2021, Why We Need a Global Framework to Regulate Online Harm.
00:01:36.520 That was talked about at the World Economic Forum, and it was adopted by Canadians.
00:01:40.680 We've seen this also in regards to the United Nations.
00:01:43.380 There was a huge uprising, mostly on the political right, a couple years ago when the United Nations introduced a global compact on migration
00:01:50.560 that 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.
00:01:58.260 And 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,
00:02:04.700 this is just basically an aspirational international declaration, so why are conservatives getting worked up about it?
00:02:11.000 Well, 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.
00:02:20.280 Again, we see it time and time again, which is why I'm personally very skeptical of the World Economic Forum,
00:02:25.160 and I think that the criticism of the World Economic Forum is not a conspiracy theory.
00:02:29.560 Sure, there are some conspiracy theories, and those should be debunked.
00:02:32.060 It's not true that these people actually control the levers of power, but they inspire governments like the Trudeau government
00:02:38.500 to do all kinds of awful policies that are terrible for the people of Canada.
00:02:43.100 Thank you.
