00:09:00.780The prime minister's statement was a complete abdication of responsibility and of leadership.
00:09:06.600Mr. Speaker, we are at an important time in our country's history. A time when we will have to decide
00:09:13.600who and what our country stands for. Will we be a country of yes, where big national projects can
00:09:22.240get built and our country can grow and develop? Or will our country be a country of no, where a few
00:09:29.400loud voices can shut down development and prosperity for all?
00:09:34.380This is good cheer. This is what he's saying here, the rule of the mob. That's what's happening right
00:09:39.040now. A fringe, small group of people who are pretending to stand for the First Nations cause, even though they're not,
00:09:44.980they're just anti-development, they're anti-oil. There's a great video of Kian Bexty over at the Rebel, who went over to one of these
00:09:52.960protests and just started asking like the most basic questions to these protesters. And of course, I mean, they don't, they don't know what
00:09:58.880they stand for. They don't even know what the pipeline is carrying, right? It's not carrying crude. It's not carrying oil. It's carrying liquefied natural gas, which is one of the greenest,
00:10:07.040formed. And it's not even crossing a national, a provincial boundary. It's going from British Columbia to the coast and out.
00:10:14.040So, I mean, the protesters just don't really know what they're talking about. Most of them don't know that the First Nations along the route are all unanimously in agreement with the pipeline.
00:10:27.040You know, they just hate oil. They hate Canadian oil specifically because it's sort of like the weak link. No other country would allow this kind of stuff to happen. And so they go in. And it's been proven time and time again that these are not First Nations protesters.
00:10:44.040Sure, there are some First Nations protesters, as I talked about at the beginning of the show. You know, there's some First Nations people that agree with it and some that don't.
00:10:51.040The entire First Nations community doesn't just think with one collective brain. They have some people that agree with this stuff and some that don't.
00:10:58.040But the idea that somehow this is like a uniquely First Nations cause, it isn't. It isn't. We know that there are far left radical groups. True North has exposed a couple of them on their websites.
00:11:09.040They talk explicitly on how to damage critical infrastructure, how to, you know, damage railroad tracks, which is incredibly dangerous.
00:11:18.040I mean, again, it's terrorism. It's absolutely terrorism, damaging that kind of stuff, setting it up so that someone could get injured, trying to deliberately shut down our economy.
00:11:28.040And by the way, CN just announced that they are laying off a thousand workers. They're laying off a thousand people.
00:11:33.040So for all the, you know, talk to the left likes to play a big game about them being sort of the working class, the voice of the working class.
00:11:40.040Like that's what the NDP is supposed to be representing. Yet again, they're on the wrong side of this issue because working class people are the ones that are disproportionately being harmed,
00:11:51.040not only just losing opportunities in the energy industry, but also now people being laid off from their jobs, people who work for CN.
00:11:59.040You know, this is a country that's just not functioning the way that it should.
00:12:04.040And so because of Andrew Scheer's speech, which I thought was great, I thought that that was, again, the Scheer that we should have, I wish that we had seen more of that in the election.
00:12:13.040Just, you know, speaking clearly, saying what this is, none of that sort of sugarcoating, like, the Liberals like to pretend that this issue is all about reconciliation.
00:12:21.040This has nothing to do with reconciliation. No, this is about Canada not being able to function.
00:12:27.040Canada's not being able to enforce the laws in our society and having our entire economy being held hostage by special interest groups,
00:12:36.040by fringe environmentalists who don't speak for anyone other than themselves.
00:12:40.040And in fact, many, many First Nations voices, you can find them on Twitter, who are actually frustrated, saying, like, enough is enough.
00:12:49.040You don't speak for us. You don't speak for us. And you saw, you saw a lot of this.
00:12:55.040Let me, let me just find this tweet. So there was a, let me just find this tweet.
00:13:02.040Here it is right here. So this person called Tez Burra Berman writes,
00:13:08.040Dear Canada, we have enough oil and gas development and pipelines to meet our needs while we transition cleaner, safer, low-carbon economy.
00:13:16.040Building new ones is not consistent with the Paris Agreement and climate emergency.
00:13:20.040How about we stop punishing, how about we stop pushing them on Indigenous communities?
00:13:25.040And the response that she saw, in my timeline anyway, was basically just a whole bunch of First Nations people,
00:13:31.040like, screaming at her, saying, like, you don't speak for us. Stop trying to, you know, take over our cause.
00:13:39.040So, Ali Q, who is a First Nations Canadian, and she writes,
00:13:45.040You are a user swooping in to use First Nations people to further your ideology.
00:13:49.040Show us where you've helped any Indigenous people, here or anywhere else, overcome poverty, housing, access, treatment, water.
00:13:55.040I mean, I can't imagine how frustrating it would be if you were a First Nations person who was supportive of this kind of project,
00:14:01.040who wanted the economic opportunities in your community, who wanted the prosperity that comes along with it,
00:14:07.040the job, the opportunity, especially for young people.
00:14:09.040So many of them don't have hope because they don't have access to the same kind of economic opportunities that Canadians who live in cities do, frankly.
00:14:17.040So having a big project like this, bringing wealth and opportunity to your region would be really exciting.
00:14:22.040And especially after, like, a long process where they've been trying for, what, 15 years to get this pipeline going forward.
00:14:29.040And it's finally at that stage. And, you know, you just have these activists who are claiming to speak for you.
00:14:34.040They don't. They don't actually care about you. You've never seen them in your community doing any good.
00:14:38.040And all of a sudden they're trying to speak for you, saying, we don't want any pipelines.
00:14:42.040Like, come on. That's just pathetic. That's pathetic.
00:14:47.040And so after Andrew Scheer gives this great speech, Justin Trudeau says, you know,
00:14:52.040enough is enough and decided that Andrew Scheer was not welcome in the debate.
00:14:57.040So they held this emergency debate. Trudeau had a meeting with the leaders of the other parties,
00:15:02.040and he doesn't invite Andrew Scheer. He doesn't invite Andrew Scheer.
00:15:05.040He says that Andrew Scheer has disqualified himself from being part of the conversation because why?
00:15:12.040Because he called this mob rule, which is exactly what it is. And okay, let's listen to Justin Trudeau.
00:15:19.040About an hour ago, I had a meeting with Mr. Singh, Mr. Blanchet, and Ms. May,
00:15:24.040to discuss how this government is working to engage in peaceful resolution of this situation.
00:15:31.040Mr. Scheer disqualified himself from constructive discussions with his unacceptable speech earlier today.
00:15:43.040So he disqualified himself. He disqualified himself from the conversation.
00:15:48.040I guess disqualified is when you speak the truth and a liberal can't handle it.
00:15:53.040I guess that's what disqualified means.
00:15:55.040No, apparently, according to liberals, you can't have a conservative worldview,
00:15:58.040you can't believe in the rule of law, and enforcing it, you can't speak the truth about who is really protesting here.
00:16:03.040Then you just can't be part of the conversation.
00:16:05.040I mean, he's the leader of the opposition, he won the popular vote in the last election,
00:16:09.040he is the person who speaks on behalf of so many working Canadians, so many working Canadians,
00:16:15.040so many people in general, conservatives, First Nations people, Western Canadians,
00:16:19.040people who work in the resource sector.
00:16:21.040I mean, Andrew Scheer speaks for a lot of people, but according to Justin Trudeau,
00:16:25.040he has been disqualified from being part of the conversation.
00:16:29.040And this is incredibly ironic, of course, Trudeau has no sense of irony,
00:16:33.040but earlier in the day, he gave a speech about populism, and he warned about the perils of populism.
00:18:38.040Again, it's the same old characters of people who, again, these people are appropriating the First Nations cause
00:18:46.040and pretending to speak for people that they don't actually speak for.
00:18:49.040And this story is just really, really irksome.
00:18:54.040So, you know, you have the pipeline being blocked in British Columbia and all these sort of solidarity protests across the country.
00:19:01.040And then there's another project that's actually giving people a lot of hope in Alberta, the Tech Frontier Oil Sands Project up in Fort McMurray.
00:19:09.040All of a sudden, members of parliament are talking about how they don't want it built anymore.
00:19:14.040And this is an exclusive from Brian Lilly over at The Sun.
00:19:18.040He noticed that Liberal MP Mark Garrison paid almost $400 in targeted Facebook advertisements for a petition that goes against building this project.
00:19:29.040So it says, we the undersigned citizens of Canada call upon the government of Canada to reject the proposal to build the Tech Resources Frontier Oil Sands Mine in Alberta,
00:19:38.040as it is not in the best interest of Canadians.
00:19:41.040So this guy created a petition calling on people to sign to kill jobs in a region that desperately needs jobs,
00:19:48.040in a region that has just been absolutely devastated by the attitude of the federal government essentially saying no to oil and gas projects, no to pipelines.
00:19:58.040A Liberal MP is promoting nonsense message that the ad here says the Tech Frontier Mine would require clear-cutting an area twice the size of Vancouver.
00:20:08.040I mean, that's just so misleading because for whatever they clear-cut, you know, they do restoration after the project is over.
00:20:16.040So, you know, it's just highly, highly misleading stuff here.
00:20:20.040And, you know, again, he's putting his own money, putting presumably actually taxpayer money towards promoting this on Facebook to try to get people to oppose the project.
00:20:31.040So this is the state of Canada right now with the Liberal government in charge, like the economy is at a standstill, railway has been shut down, roads are being blocked outside major cities.
00:20:43.040The Premier of British Columbia had his home, like, basically, you know, a bunch of protesters confronted him and tried to carry out a citizen's arrest.
