Juno News - JD Vance BLASTS Canada’s mass immigration agenda

00:00:00.000 And welcome to Straight Up with Mark Petrone. I'm your host.

00:00:08.360 Well, don't blame us for your problems, Canada.

00:00:10.720 So says U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance in a shot across the bow to liberal voters,

00:00:16.420 wide open immigration, and the CBC.

00:00:19.640 In a post on X, Vance writes,

00:00:23.420 And with all due respect to my Canadian friends whose politics focus obsessively on the United States,

00:00:28.620 your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump

00:00:32.820 or whatever boogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.

00:00:36.720 The fault lies with your leadership elected by you.

00:00:41.260 Vance was responding to economic data suggesting living standards in Canada have declined because of leftist policies.

00:00:48.740 Vance went on to write,

00:00:50.220 While I'm sure the causes are complicated,

00:00:53.140 no nation has leaned more into diversity is our strength.

00:00:58.560 We don't need a melting pot.

00:01:00.020 We have a salad bowl, immigration insanity, than Canada. 1.00

00:01:04.480 It has the highest foreign share of the population in the entire G7,

00:01:10.260 and its living standards have stagnated.

00:01:12.800 The U.S. economy has continued to outperform Canada over the last decade,

00:01:17.880 leading to a widening living standard gap between the two countries.

00:01:23.620 Well, B.C. Premier David Evey says Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Kearney government

00:01:27.680 are holding pipeline talks behind his back.

00:01:31.880 He's already voiced his opposition to a pipeline

00:01:34.200 and a proposed lifting of a ban on tanker traffic off the northern coast of B.C.

00:01:39.620 Let's listen.

00:01:40.080 We have four times more major projects on the board than any other province in Canada,

00:01:44.760 and the vast majority of those projects rely on the support of the coastal First Nations,

00:01:49.840 for whom the oil tanker ban is the sole reason why they're able to tolerate those other projects.

00:01:55.720 So this is a broadside attack on an oil tanker ban

00:01:58.680 that is the foundation of economic growth mapped out for the entire country

00:02:03.520 for the foreseeable future.

00:02:06.320 For his part, Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer says

00:02:08.980 Canada's ban on tankers makes no real sense,

00:02:12.940 considering the Americans have been going there for years.

00:02:15.540 While the Liberals have made it illegal for Canadian companies

00:02:18.260 to load Canadian ships with Canadian oil,

00:02:21.440 U.S. tankers can continue to travel off B.C.'s coast

00:02:24.460 and take their oil to countries around the world.

00:02:26.880 As we speak, the U.S. crude oil tanker California

00:02:29.720 is traveling from Tacoma to Alaska along that west coast.

00:02:33.920 Why are the Liberals keeping in a law that prevents Canada from exporting our oil

00:02:37.640 while U.S. tankers travel through the exact same place?

00:02:41.780 Well, despite the setbacks and opposition to a pipeline from B.C. and Ottawa,

00:02:46.900 Alberta Premier Daniel Smith says she remains hopeful.

00:02:50.700 What else would it take then for you to get to that MOU with Ottawa,

00:02:55.820 and how close are you at this moment?

00:02:57.700 Well, you know, we're working on it.

00:02:59.700 Very, still very hopeful.

00:03:01.500 I was hopeful before the Grey Cup,

00:03:07.580 which was one of the deadlines he'd set for new major projects.

00:03:11.120 We know that we've got a little bit more work to do on the technical side

00:03:13.780 to be able to submit our pipeline proposal

00:03:16.200 for consideration to the major projects office.

00:03:18.600 as we've targeted the spring on that.

00:03:20.580 And if we do get to an agreement with the federal government,

00:03:23.480 we'll certainly let you know.

00:03:25.280 But I remain very hopeful as our negotiations continue.

00:03:28.820 Now, British Columbia has offered to support increasing oil capacity

00:03:32.900 on the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline,

00:03:35.100 but Daniel Smith says that's just not good enough.

00:03:38.560 I'm now joined by former public affairs officer for the Air Force

00:03:42.280 and journalist, David Creighton.

00:03:44.280 Welcome once again, David.

00:03:45.600 Appreciate it.

00:03:46.200 Oh, my God, Mark.

00:03:47.580 It's so nice to be back.

00:03:48.680 You know, you have been there every week

00:03:50.960 on so many good issues,

00:03:52.020 and I think we have a lot in common.

00:03:54.240 Well, we're going to get to the F-35s in a minute,

00:03:56.600 but I've got to ask you about this J.D. Vance clip,

00:03:59.480 because Vance was responding to economic data,

00:04:03.860 which shows that Canada, in terms of our standard of living,

00:04:07.400 has been on the decline now for at least 10 years.

00:04:10.360 And the fact that we have made the decisions

00:04:13.480 around who our leaders are going to be,

00:04:16.660 that is directly in his, you know, crosshairs.

00:04:21.420 That's what he's going after.

00:04:22.440 He says, you know, you're the ones who pick these leaders,

00:04:24.480 and the leaders are the problem that you have

00:04:26.460 as far as your current state goes.

00:04:29.020 So don't blame America.

00:04:30.220 What do you think?

00:04:32.840 I think J.D. Vance is 100% correct,

00:04:35.700 and it was Mark Carney who wanted to blame

00:04:38.940 the United States for our problems,

00:04:41.400 and to some extent, even peer polio.

00:04:44.700 Our problems are a direct result of the fact

00:04:47.860 we've had 10 years plus now, as of October,

00:04:53.500 of a socialist government masquerading

00:04:56.120 as a liberal government.

00:04:57.980 And this started with Justin Trudeau 10 years ago in October.

00:05:04.180 It's continued with his successor, Mark Carney,

00:05:07.400 who's even worse.

00:05:10.080 And people tell me, you know,

00:05:11.400 you know, Mark Carney sounds reasonable.

00:05:13.980 I think Mark Carney's one of us.

00:05:15.960 I hear this from conservatives saying, no, I'm sorry.

00:05:20.280 He's smarter than Justin Trudeau, a lot smarter than Justin Trudeau,

00:05:25.180 which is not hard to be.

00:05:26.880 But he's not working for Canada.

00:05:29.220 His end game has nothing to do with Canadian sovereignty against the U.S.

00:05:34.340 His end game has nothing to do with a stronger economy.

00:05:38.420 His end game is the absolute destruction of the Canadian economy

00:05:43.060 and the subservience of the United States to China.

00:05:47.700 Because for a decade now, Mark Carney has argued that the Chinese yuan

00:05:53.900 should replace the U.S. dollar as the global currency,

00:05:58.100 and that China should replace the United States as the economic engine of change

00:06:05.540 in the global market.

00:06:08.620 So Mark Carney is certainly achieving his ends.

00:06:13.100 What people don't understand is that those ends have nothing to do

00:06:17.840 with why Mark Carney was elected as prime minister.

00:06:21.520 People really believed him.

00:06:22.560 I know that.

00:06:23.680 These 65 years and older people who voted for Mark Carney in large numbers,

00:06:28.600 they thought he was going to be a return to normalcy.

00:06:32.940 That's the last thing Mark Carney wants is a return to normalcy.

00:06:38.540 This is a takeover of your economy.

00:06:42.000 This is a takeover of your economy by Brookfield and other agents who Mark Carney controls.

00:06:50.320 Better shout out there. 0.89

00:06:51.720 It's interesting who he targets, though.

00:06:53.640 And I think what this says is that Vance and others in the United States

00:06:57.540 are getting tired of Canada using Donald Trump as an excuse,

00:07:01.860 as a scapegoat for whatever ails Canada.

00:07:05.480 I mean, if you read his post here, he says,

00:07:08.580 your stagnating standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump.

00:07:12.000 Or whatever boogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.

00:07:15.600 The fault lies with your leadership elected by you.

00:07:19.500 And so he's basically pointing a finger at the electorate,

00:07:23.720 saying you're responsible because of who you voted for.

00:07:27.720 And so this is going to speak directly to Canadians.

00:07:30.980 You know, you made your choice and you are paying for it.

00:07:34.540 That's what I read here.

00:07:36.360 And the other side of it, as I said, is the Americans probably growing a little weary

00:07:40.840 with the fact that, you know, everything that happens in Canada somehow is their fault.

00:07:46.760 Well, clearly, that's the message from the liberal media,

00:07:53.540 not just in Canada, but the United States.

00:07:56.220 They love to blame Canada for all the bad things that happen.

00:08:00.780 Unfortunately, the right of a line,

00:08:03.100 Canada exports a lot of its crazy ideology, its crazy woke policies.

00:08:09.400 Donald Trump said no to so much of that.

00:08:12.360 And as much as you don't like Donald Trump on tariffs right now,

00:08:16.560 and I think he's, I think just like he did on Epstein,

00:08:19.980 Epstein, excuse me, he's going to, he's going to wake up one day and say,

00:08:23.340 you know, I don't think the tariffs are such a good idea the way I've applied them.

00:08:28.340 He did a U-turn on Epstein because he realized he couldn't get away with it.

00:08:33.220 Few presidents realize that they survive on the basic goodwill of their core supporters.

00:08:44.680 Donald Trump knows that.

00:08:46.540 And when he did a U-turn on Epstein, I said,

00:08:50.300 there's a hint or more than a hint of greatness here

00:08:54.380 because great presidents and Joe's don't just make great decisions.

00:08:58.900 They admit when they've made bad decisions.

00:09:03.860 And Donald Trump admitted he made a bad decision about Epstein.

00:09:08.140 And I think what is happening here is Donald Trump is,

00:09:13.560 I think is sitting there in the White House right now.

00:09:17.080 And what I've seen on his recommendations for Ukraine, for instance,

00:09:22.880 he's realizing if he wants to sustain and enrich the Make America Great Coalition,

00:09:31.180 that he has to budge.

00:09:33.400 He has to change.

00:09:35.260 Few presidents, and they're all people with huge egos, 0.74

00:09:39.580 and they're all people who are very narcissistic. 0.96

00:09:42.540 And Trump is perhaps the worst among them for those characteristics.

00:09:48.880 But Trump is realizing he cannot go it without the people.

00:09:54.000 And I think this is a very, very important juncture in his presidency.

00:09:59.340 Well, Vance could be the next president.

00:10:01.300 And here he is targeting Canada saying,

00:10:03.760 you know, you're a country that has leaned more into this diversity as our strength,

00:10:09.300 and we don't need a melting pot, we have a salad bowl immigration insanity, 0.91

00:10:13.780 these are his words, not mine,

00:10:15.700 than Canada.

00:10:16.460 Nobody has gone in that direction quite as much as we have.

00:10:20.420 He points to the fact that we have the highest foreign-born share

00:10:23.400 of the population in the entire G7,

00:10:26.860 and its living standards, meaning our living standards, have stagnated.

00:10:30.680 So here he is, seems to be drawing a parallel here,

00:10:34.280 and a cause and effect, if I understand it correctly,

00:10:37.700 he says, you know, the reason why your living standards have stagnated

00:10:41.080 is because of this immigration insanity, as he calls it.

00:10:45.040 The fact that so many of the people who now inhabit Canada are foreign-born 0.96

00:10:51.200 in terms of the share of the population,

00:10:53.340 more so than in countries where we think are a complete disaster,

00:10:57.160 you know, like the UK and France and Germany,

00:11:00.560 you know, which have had open borders.

00:11:01.980 And yet he's saying, we're the worst of the lot.

00:11:05.420 And he says, that's why you have a stagnating level

00:11:10.100 of living standard in your country.

00:11:14.220 What do you make of that?

00:11:16.540 Well, Mark, the last statistic I looked at

00:11:19.300 in terms of foreign-born Canadians,

00:11:22.400 40% of people living in Canada were born outside of the country.

00:11:29.060 And you're saying, can't be.

00:11:31.960 It's true.

00:11:33.200 That's how bad it got during the Trudeau years.

00:11:36.840 We still are tabulating the absolute assault on Canada

00:11:42.440 that Justin Trudeau did, and Mark Carney is continuing. 0.98

00:11:47.200 And don't believe his garbage about, 0.95

00:11:49.480 I'm different than Justin Trudeau. 0.99

00:11:51.180 I'm going to do it differently.

00:11:52.560 No, he's not.

00:11:53.160 He's doing the same thing immigration-wise,

00:11:56.520 and he's doing the same thing spending-wise.

00:11:59.440 But Justin Trudeau transformed this country.

00:12:02.740 We literally went from 30 million to 40 million people in this country,

00:12:09.040 most of them immigration, illegal and legal.

00:12:14.940 That's where Canada stands right now.

00:12:17.100 10 million new people during Justin Trudeau's reign.

00:12:21.020 And we don't even know where the hell most of them came from.

00:12:24.120 Are they Canadian?

00:12:25.880 Do they want to adhere to democratic principles?

00:12:29.000 Do they understand what Canada's all about?

00:12:32.820 Do they understand what freedom and democracy are all about?

00:12:37.000 It doesn't matter to Justin Trudeau,

00:12:38.420 because he thought they'd all vote liberal.

00:12:41.280 Justin Trudeau took the liberal policy of,

00:12:44.400 bring them in, and they'll vote liberal.

00:12:46.280 This was the same policy that Joe Biden had during four horrendous years

00:12:52.620 of tens of millions of illegal immigrants going into the United States

00:12:57.400 because Joe Biden or whomever was making his decisions

00:13:00.700 during those dark days of his mental problems.

00:13:05.820 It doesn't matter.

00:13:07.960 They're going to vote Democrat.

00:13:09.600 So bring them in.

00:13:11.860 It's no way to run an immigration policy.

00:13:13.900 It's no way to run a country.

00:13:16.180 And Canada was just as bad in terms of allowing illegals into the country 1.00

00:13:24.640 and allowing mass immigration, legal mass immigration into the country

00:13:31.560 as the United States ever was.

00:13:34.640 And we have no intention of dealing with it.

00:13:37.460 And I'm not sure that our official opposition has any real desire to deal with that problem either.

00:13:45.740 Yeah.

00:13:46.040 They know that a lot of Canadians have now decided that immigration has gone way overboard.

00:13:53.960 And when you look at crazy stats,

00:13:56.080 like the amount of money we've spent on, quote, unquote, free health care for the newcomers.

00:14:01.060 And of course, we're talking about people who are not Canadians.

00:14:04.140 We're talking about, you know, people claiming refugee status somewhere between, you know,

00:14:10.540 five and nine hundred million dollars, depending on which numbers you want to believe,

00:14:15.400 is the amount of money we are spending.

00:14:17.560 And, you know, and the level of health care that they're offered,

00:14:19.660 that we're offering the foreigners is better than that being offered citizens themselves. 1.00

00:14:25.660 So that to me tells you a whole lot about where our government stands,

00:14:29.160 what they think of us versus what they see as their future voting bloc.

00:14:34.140 You know, once the boomers, I guess, get so old that they don't know which end is up anymore, 0.98

00:14:40.360 you know, they can't be relied on to vote liberal forever.

00:14:44.100 And so you've got to replace them with a new voting bloc of people.

00:14:48.360 And the newcomers, well, that's the way to go. 1.00

00:14:50.480 Just bring them in in the numbers, the numbers that, you know, are astronomical,

00:14:55.720 to your point earlier, and then give them free stuff.

00:14:59.480 That's their strategy.

00:15:00.640 That's their big strategy. 0.99

00:15:02.020 And the beautiful part of it from their vantage point is that you Canadian suckers, 1.00

00:15:07.280 the taxpayers, get to pay for the fact that we're bringing in our next voting base. 0.97

00:15:12.140 It's an absolute outrage.

00:15:13.800 But I want to shift gears a little bit because you, of course,

00:15:17.300 were in public affairs for the Air Force in Canada.

00:15:20.480 And I know you have some strong views about the F-35s,

00:15:24.160 because now, of course, you have the elbows-up crowd in the Liberal Party and elsewhere

00:15:28.460 saying, yeah, let's stick it to Trump and go with the gripper, the Saab gripper,

00:15:34.600 which is a Swedish fighter jet.

00:15:38.060 And obviously there's going to be complications because we are bound,

00:15:43.040 I believe, and you can correct me if I'm wrong,

00:15:44.620 and we are bound to buy 16 of the F-35s from America.

00:15:49.780 Now, rather than going for the full 88, the talk is, let's have, you know, a split fleet,

00:15:57.140 a fleet, rather, a divided fleet where you got, you know, some planes from Sweden

00:16:02.480 and some from America, the F-35s.

00:16:06.400 What do you make of this mess?

00:16:07.940 Well, you know, as I told you on your radio show yesterday, Mark, 1.00

00:16:11.540 I don't know where to begin about how stupid, how absolutely catastrophic this decision could be. 0.99

00:16:18.400 And I'm not convinced, by the way, that Mark Carney is actually going to do it. 1.00

00:16:22.780 I think he's playing games with it.

00:16:24.260 But if he does, why should we not buy Gryphon jets from Saab in Sweden?

00:16:31.560 Well, to begin with, they're not interoperable with our principal allies.

00:16:36.580 And our principal ally with defense, yes, Mark Carney, is the United States,

00:16:42.840 not just through NATO, but more importantly through NORAD,

00:16:46.760 the North American Aerospace Defense Agreement,

00:16:49.860 which has basically defined our security arrangements,

00:16:54.880 aerial security arrangements since 1958.

00:16:58.800 And the ambassador to Canada has been saying repeatedly,

00:17:03.880 U.S. ambassador to Canada has been saying repeatedly that,

00:17:07.080 I don't know if we can entertain you guys in the alliance anymore

00:17:10.960 if you buy Swedish jets,

00:17:13.420 because they're not interoperable with the F-35,

00:17:17.240 with the United States Air Force flies.

00:17:20.660 And not just the USAAF.

00:17:22.940 We've got the U.S. Marines and the United States Navy

00:17:25.700 are all flying the F-35s.

00:17:27.960 Have been now, my God,

00:17:30.660 it's going to be almost a decade

00:17:32.820 by the time we make a decision on this.

00:17:36.400 This is crazy.

00:17:38.060 Second point,

00:17:40.200 Canada does not have a large enough Canadian armed forces

00:17:43.480 to have a two-stream fighter program.

00:17:47.100 And that means we're going to have pilots trained for the F-35,

00:17:52.560 16 of them,

00:17:54.300 and the remainder trained for a Swedish jet.

00:17:58.400 Can we find a Swedish instructor to do this?

00:18:01.600 I don't know.

00:18:02.800 Pretty easy to find a NATO instructor,

00:18:06.200 or a U.S. instructor,

00:18:07.880 to do the F-35.

00:18:10.100 Not so easy to train somebody on the Saab.

00:18:13.200 And secondly,

00:18:16.400 the ground crew.

00:18:17.780 Somebody has to look after these aircraft when they land.

00:18:20.940 And believe me,

00:18:21.980 as a former public affairs officer

00:18:23.800 in the Royal Canadian Air Force,

00:18:26.180 I can tell you,

00:18:27.040 the ground crews,

00:18:28.280 they are the unsung heroes.

00:18:30.200 They look after these aircraft

00:18:31.880 like they were their children at times.

00:18:33.880 They make sure they're ready to fly again the next day.

00:18:39.180 So that means we're going to have air crews and ground crews

00:18:42.280 for two different fighter jets.

00:18:46.180 Can't do it in a military our size.

00:18:49.840 We haven't got the capacity to do that.

00:18:52.580 If there's any other reasons,

00:18:55.220 yes,

00:18:56.100 this is catastrophic,

00:18:57.580 because

00:18:57.880 as Colonel Douglas McGregor,

00:19:00.880 a very,

00:19:01.780 very good friend

00:19:02.920 in terms of

00:19:03.840 having him on my show

00:19:05.260 many times,

00:19:06.540 has said to me,

00:19:08.420 if your prime minister

00:19:09.700 really wants

00:19:10.920 to piss off Donald Trump,

00:19:13.440 have him buy

00:19:14.480 the Swedish aircraft.

00:19:17.040 Because the United States

00:19:18.480 hasn't got much

00:19:19.580 in terms of selling

00:19:21.380 on the international market.

00:19:23.440 It's still the number one

00:19:24.900 agricultural export.

00:19:26.900 But it doesn't sell

00:19:28.080 a lot of televisions anymore.

00:19:29.880 Doesn't sell a lot of

00:19:31.280 lazy boys anymore.

00:19:33.340 Doesn't sell a lot of

00:19:34.640 cell phones anymore.

00:19:36.440 But it sells

00:19:37.780 a heck of a lot

00:19:38.980 of armaments.

00:19:41.320 And if Canada

00:19:42.120 turns its back

00:19:43.360 on Donald Trump

00:19:44.760 with this one,

00:19:46.220 if it snubs its nose

00:19:47.900 and says,

00:19:48.480 we're going to buy

00:19:49.340 the rest of them,

00:19:50.440 I'm sorry,

00:19:51.520 from Sweden,

00:19:53.320 Donald Trump

00:19:53.960 is going to be 0.97

00:19:54.560 madder than hell.

00:19:56.420 And if he hasn't

00:19:57.720 met with Mark Carney

00:19:59.400 for the last,

00:20:00.220 what,

00:20:00.840 two weeks?

00:20:01.440 No, sorry,

00:20:02.100 two months now?

00:20:03.660 He might never meet

00:20:05.060 with Mark Carney again.

00:20:07.120 And this could be

00:20:08.100 the end of any

00:20:09.040 possibility

00:20:10.120 of having

00:20:11.200 a trade agreement.

00:20:13.740 Yeah.

00:20:14.440 It is interesting

00:20:15.360 that,

00:20:16.840 of course,

00:20:17.140 the Swedes

00:20:17.560 are now in NATO.

00:20:18.400 they're a full-fledged

00:20:19.760 member now,

00:20:20.900 have been since,

00:20:22.060 I guess,

00:20:22.400 last year.

00:20:23.560 And they're using

00:20:24.820 these planes.

00:20:26.560 And so,

00:20:26.960 therefore,

00:20:27.660 they're not in sync

00:20:29.500 with the rest of NATO.

00:20:30.460 I mean,

00:20:30.680 if the F-35s

00:20:32.400 are the main

00:20:33.340 aircraft used

00:20:34.400 by NATO countries,

00:20:36.420 then Sweden

00:20:37.900 is out of step

00:20:38.520 with that.

00:20:39.380 But, of course,

00:20:39.800 if they can find

00:20:40.380 a partner,

00:20:41.600 a NATO partner,

00:20:42.900 you know,

00:20:43.380 to sell their planes to,

00:20:45.540 well,

00:20:45.700 then they can make

00:20:46.280 the case,

00:20:46.780 well,

00:20:46.960 you know,

00:20:47.600 Canada's got our planes,

00:20:49.020 you know,

00:20:49.260 we've got the Gripper

00:20:50.800 as well,

00:20:51.600 you know,

00:20:51.960 and so that way,

00:20:53.680 that might be a way

00:20:54.720 for them to try

00:20:55.700 and finagle

00:20:56.380 a way to

00:20:57.900 not have to

00:20:59.480 switch over

00:21:00.360 to the F-35s

00:21:01.300 because isn't that

00:21:02.400 one of the main

00:21:03.380 stipulations

00:21:04.640 for NATO membership

00:21:05.820 is if you're going

00:21:07.020 to sign up,

00:21:08.100 you know,

00:21:08.320 you've got to

00:21:09.340 get military hardware

00:21:11.180 that is in sync,

00:21:13.620 that is consistent

00:21:15.320 with,

00:21:16.680 copacetic with,

00:21:18.440 you know,

00:21:18.740 the military hardware

00:21:19.640 that other countries

00:21:20.480 in NATO are using.

00:21:21.420 I'm not 100% sure

00:21:22.780 about that.

00:21:23.780 No, no, no,

00:21:24.960 no, that's

00:21:25.920 entirely not true.

00:21:28.380 NATO will accept 0.95

00:21:29.120 anybody who's

00:21:30.560 basically on life

00:21:31.620 support right now.

00:21:33.020 And it's been

00:21:33.880 that policy now

00:21:35.000 ever since

00:21:35.640 the Soviet Union died.

00:21:37.380 Come on in.

00:21:38.320 Come on in to NATO.

00:21:39.540 We don't care

00:21:40.000 what you're flying,

00:21:40.740 what you're doing,

00:21:41.400 as long as we can

00:21:42.640 occupy your land space.

00:21:45.040 So, no,

00:21:45.500 it doesn't have anything

00:21:46.220 to do with

00:21:46.700 if we're operationally

00:21:48.100 equivalent.

00:21:49.260 And this is why,

00:21:50.720 as I keep telling people,

00:21:53.020 operational equivalency,

00:21:54.800 interoperability

00:21:55.780 is key to this

00:21:57.680 because we do train

00:21:59.080 with the United States

00:22:00.680 Air Force

00:22:01.260 and we do have

00:22:02.720 a defense agreement

00:22:03.740 with the United States

00:22:04.980 Air Force

00:22:05.420 called NORAD.

00:22:06.700 And the other countries

00:22:07.860 that fly

00:22:08.200 the F-35

00:22:08.900 break Great Britain. 0.80

00:22:11.200 The Royal Air Force

00:22:11.980 flies the F-35.

00:22:13.800 The Royal Australian Air Force

00:22:15.680 from Australia

00:22:16.260 flies the F-35.

00:22:18.000 Now,

00:22:18.320 in my time

00:22:19.360 as an Air Force officer,

00:22:21.080 we were dealing

00:22:22.060 with America

00:22:24.080 90%

00:22:25.020 of the time

00:22:26.040 in terms of

00:22:27.400 operational activities,

00:22:29.460 in terms of training,

00:22:31.080 in terms of

00:22:32.000 exchange of officers,

00:22:33.440 exchange of pilots.

00:22:34.440 we were dealing

00:22:35.640 with Great Britain

00:22:36.560 and Australia

00:22:38.020 for the other

00:22:38.660 20%

00:22:39.620 of the time.

00:22:40.600 That's about 100%.

00:22:41.900 We're not dealing

00:22:42.860 with Sweden.

00:22:44.040 Sweden is irrelevant.

00:22:45.580 You have to remember,

00:22:46.640 Mark,

00:22:47.120 Sweden was a neutral

00:22:48.400 country

00:22:49.040 for most of the

00:22:50.400 20th century,

00:22:51.100 all of the 20th century.

00:22:52.600 It suddenly decided

00:22:53.880 to join NATO

00:22:54.680 because it got

00:22:56.340 a big,

00:22:58.060 big military

00:22:58.880 boost from it.

00:22:59.660 and

00:23:00.760 do you think

00:23:01.980 Sweden really

00:23:03.000 gives a damn 0.51

00:23:04.040 about Canadian

00:23:04.980 sovereignty

00:23:05.580 and we should be

00:23:07.300 fighting for Sweden

00:23:08.820 now?

00:23:09.400 No.

00:23:09.760 This is why

00:23:10.480 NATO has gone

00:23:11.360 off the rails

00:23:12.400 because there's

00:23:13.600 so many members

00:23:14.780 in this club now

00:23:15.840 that

00:23:17.360 it's a club

00:23:18.560 that really

00:23:19.740 has no meaning

00:23:20.880 anymore.

00:23:22.240 It used to be

00:23:23.000 about stopping

00:23:24.020 the Soviet Union

00:23:25.160 from making

00:23:26.400 one inch

00:23:27.440 further

00:23:28.040 across that border

00:23:29.220 into Western Europe.

00:23:30.940 What does it mean

00:23:31.600 now?

00:23:32.500 It means

00:23:32.980 potentially

00:23:33.840 getting us

00:23:35.480 in wrangled

00:23:36.100 in a third

00:23:36.880 world war

00:23:37.680 because some

00:23:38.580 country you've

00:23:39.320 never heard of

00:23:40.420 accidentally

00:23:42.040 struck Russia 0.93

00:23:43.840 with a missile.

00:23:45.340 Yeah.

00:23:45.780 I mean,

00:23:46.380 it may not be

00:23:46.920 a prerequisite

00:23:47.580 for these countries

00:23:48.300 to get the F-35s,

00:23:49.660 but just a quick

00:23:50.880 look at the NATO

00:23:52.180 stipulations,

00:23:53.320 which I'm sure

00:23:53.700 you're aware of,

00:23:55.280 many NATO countries

00:23:57.260 have the F-35s,

00:23:58.500 14 member nations

00:24:00.400 either currently

00:24:01.680 operate the jet

00:24:02.540 or are committed

00:24:03.400 to purchasing it.

00:24:05.020 Countries like

00:24:05.520 the U.S.,

00:24:06.520 the U.K.,

00:24:08.000 Italy,

00:24:08.540 Norway,

00:24:09.600 Netherlands

00:24:10.080 already fly

00:24:11.080 that particular aircraft

00:24:12.400 while others

00:24:13.140 like Belgium,

00:24:14.400 Denmark,

00:24:14.780 and Finland

00:24:15.160 are in the process

00:24:16.160 of acquiring it.

00:24:17.840 And so now

00:24:18.320 you have Sweden

00:24:19.080 in there

00:24:19.600 with its gripper

00:24:20.800 trying to sell

00:24:22.060 its gripper aircraft

00:24:23.640 to Canada,

00:24:24.760 which would put us,

00:24:26.940 I mean,

00:24:27.180 to your point,

00:24:27.880 completely at odds

00:24:28.880 with our NATO

00:24:29.960 partners

00:24:31.800 who are either

00:24:33.400 flying the jet

00:24:34.320 currently

00:24:34.740 or committed

00:24:35.280 to flying it.

00:24:36.160 Last word to you,

00:24:36.880 my friend.

00:24:38.900 Mark,

00:24:39.620 we are in such

00:24:41.420 an incredible

00:24:42.680 problem here,

00:24:44.000 and I have to get

00:24:44.560 back to this.

00:24:45.760 We had a chance

00:24:46.840 to stop this government

00:24:48.740 from not just

00:24:49.800 passing a budget,

00:24:51.020 from stopping

00:24:51.740 a government,

00:24:52.320 and I'm not

00:24:53.600 just talking

00:24:54.040 about last

00:24:54.540 week's vote,

00:24:56.300 or I guess

00:24:57.160 we're still

00:24:57.480 talking about

00:24:57.920 this week's vote

00:24:58.440 and those

00:24:58.680 comes because

00:24:59.140 it's Friday,

00:24:59.600 isn't it?

00:25:01.020 The Conservative

00:25:01.820 Party of Canada

00:25:02.540 needs to focus

00:25:03.800 on what's

00:25:04.700 really important

00:25:05.720 and stop

00:25:07.460 playing the

00:25:08.000 blame game

00:25:08.680 and oh,

00:25:09.380 you can't

00:25:10.140 blame us

00:25:10.660 that the

00:25:11.040 government's

00:25:11.480 falling.

00:25:12.800 The Conservative

00:25:13.700 Party of Canada,

00:25:14.700 if it believes

00:25:15.540 in free speech,

00:25:16.380 and there's no

00:25:17.020 other party

00:25:17.740 in the House

00:25:18.400 of Commons

00:25:19.100 that proclaims

00:25:20.860 a belief

00:25:21.480 in free speech,

00:25:22.540 at least from

00:25:23.320 its primary

00:25:23.920 members,

00:25:25.580 unless they are

00:25:26.600 prepared to

00:25:27.340 bring this

00:25:27.900 government down

00:25:28.960 because its

00:25:30.340 legislation

00:25:32.760 is so bad,

00:25:34.080 so odious,

00:25:35.300 that it's worth

00:25:36.380 fighting for

00:25:37.020 because this

00:25:38.100 Kearney government

00:25:39.080 wants to take

00:25:41.520 away your

00:25:42.500 free speech,

00:25:43.480 and there's

00:25:44.280 four bills,

00:25:45.400 three of them

00:25:45.900 in front of

00:25:46.420 Parliament right now,

00:25:47.480 a fourth coming

00:25:48.320 in the next week,

00:25:49.100 according to

00:25:50.040 what I just

00:25:50.500 heard today,

00:25:51.920 the Online

00:25:52.360 Safety Act

00:25:55.280 is coming,

00:25:56.780 as Trudeau

00:25:58.140 called it,

00:25:58.580 the Online

00:25:59.200 Harms Act

00:26:00.080 is coming

00:26:00.920 in the next

00:26:01.580 five days,

00:26:03.380 and this is

00:26:04.560 on top of

00:26:05.280 other surveillance

00:26:06.260 and censorship

00:26:06.940 bills.

00:26:08.000 I'm sorry,

00:26:08.880 it's not just

00:26:09.680 about bail

00:26:10.480 or jail

00:26:11.200 and about

00:26:11.960 safe communities

00:26:13.040 and safe streets,

00:26:14.160 it's about

00:26:14.840 losing your

00:26:16.000 fundamental

00:26:16.520 freedoms in

00:26:17.640 this country.

00:26:18.200 that could 0.68

00:26:19.360 come within

00:26:20.440 the next

00:26:21.360 six months,

00:26:22.360 now that

00:26:23.080 this Kearney

00:26:23.620 government

00:26:24.040 has been

00:26:24.980 allowed to

00:26:25.860 survive,

00:26:27.180 and that's

00:26:27.720 why I'm

00:26:28.100 very disappointed

00:26:29.120 with the official

00:26:29.640 opposition right
