00:00:00.000 It's The Kinsella Cast, starring Warren Kinsella.
00:00:15.720 Hey, it's Warren. Welcome to The Kinsella Cast.
00:00:18.180 Sorry, I apologize it's late, but I have a good excuse.
00:00:20.980 I had to drive from the county this morning into Toronto.
00:00:24.160 On the way, I rescued a big, snappy turtle who's on the road.
00:00:28.040 Welcome, turtle. And then later on, this Blackbird was on the road.
00:00:33.400 It seemed to be stunned, so I got it off.
00:00:35.900 You're welcome, Blackbird.
00:00:37.200 So I was like Dr. Doolittle this morning.
00:00:39.620 It was really quite impressive. I think so, anyway.
00:00:43.060 And then I went straight to the United Jewish Appeals Walk for Israel
00:00:47.920 at Bathurst, kind of below the 401.
00:00:52.880 And man, like it was amazing.
00:00:56.660 Like I heard there were going to be 40,000 people there, maybe 50,000.
00:01:02.420 And there were. Like it was just jammed.
00:01:06.220 And I walked around and met people and shook hands.
00:01:11.320 And it was a very joyful atmosphere.
00:01:15.260 A lot of people were grateful about the rescue of the hostages, four hostages this week.
00:01:21.740 It was a really great event.
00:01:23.600 And I think everybody there needed it.
00:01:26.040 And I was glad to go and lend my support.
00:01:30.420 Great show this week.
00:01:31.800 I've got Tal or Cohen Montemayor.
00:01:34.400 And I have interviewed her before.
00:01:36.860 She is the head of an organization called CyberWell in Israel.
00:01:41.680 And she's brilliant.
00:01:42.860 And you'll hear her first talking about from the river to the sea,
00:01:47.200 which is this ubiquitous phrase that the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas people have been using for months.
00:01:53.140 And so we talk about the significance of that.
00:01:55.760 We've got Greg Brady and I talking about the by-election in St. Paul's,
00:02:01.120 which is pretty significant for the Trudeau government.
00:02:04.200 And then we've got our weekend panel talking about different stuff.
00:02:06.760 And Tasha Carrad and I duke it out.
00:02:09.580 I usually agree with her all the time because she is so smart.
00:02:13.540 But on this occasion, I do not agree with her.
00:02:17.180 So you'll hear that.
00:02:18.740 And then I've got some great music.
00:02:21.080 I've got Molly Payton from Australia, who I just adore.
00:02:25.160 And this song, actually all of these songs.
00:02:27.620 I've got Angel Olsen, Lucy Dacus, Slow Pulp.
00:02:32.360 They're all women.
00:02:33.800 And they all remind me of spring, these songs.
00:02:36.200 I love riding my bike and listening to these songs.
00:02:39.660 They're just genius songwriters and musicians.
00:02:44.080 And so I'm going to play you that.
00:02:45.860 And it's kind of a response to the people I ran into in Belleville last week
00:02:49.920 at another pro-Israel rally, who said to me,
00:02:52.460 you know, we really like your show.
00:02:54.320 We really like your podcast.
00:02:55.460 But some of the music, eh, I actually get that a lot.
00:03:00.240 But, you know, it's me.
00:03:02.420 It's, you know, it just, if I was playing Celine Dion,
00:03:05.900 it just wouldn't be Warren, would it?
00:03:07.600 No, it wouldn't.
00:03:08.840 So you're Canadian.
00:03:12.660 You've got a regular, normal life.
00:03:15.980 Imagine what it feels like when someone throws a bomb at your place of worship.
00:03:20.800 Like, imagine that.
00:03:22.380 And it's hard to, isn't it?
00:03:23.520 Like, of course it is.
00:03:25.220 Like, this is Canada.
00:03:26.340 It's not some place in the Middle East.
00:03:28.440 Maybe you don't go to church.
00:03:30.200 Maybe it's been a while since you've gone somewhere to pray.
00:03:32.400 But if you're Canadian, chances are that you've been to a wedding or a funeral or a baptism
00:03:37.160 or something like that.
00:03:38.440 Chances are that you've been to a place where people go to pray.
00:03:42.120 It's normal.
00:03:42.620 Even with dwindling rates of religion in this country, you know, it still happens.
00:03:50.800 Anyway, when you're there, you look around.
00:03:52.500 And apart from the clothes that they're wearing, maybe they're carrying a book of prayers or hymns or whatever.
00:03:58.800 Nobody's carrying anything special.
00:04:00.320 They're not carrying a gun or a knife or a pepper spray or a fire extinguisher.
00:04:05.200 Like, that's for sure.
00:04:06.880 Because you don't need those things when you go to a place of worship in Canada.
00:04:11.280 You go there for solitude or to be with other people.
00:04:14.500 And maybe when you're there, you become faintly aware of something.
00:04:17.600 You're totally, completely vulnerable.
00:04:22.040 You're defenseless, like everyone else is.
00:04:25.220 There's no security because you don't need it.
00:04:27.360 Not in Canada.
00:04:29.120 At the Shira Assetic Synagogue on Oak Street in Vancouver, they need security.
00:04:34.940 Since October 7th and before it, there's been trouble.
00:04:38.200 There's always been trouble, actually.
00:04:40.560 As far back as 2016, the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver
00:04:43.880 was tripling how much it spends on security for Jewish places of worship.
00:04:48.720 That didn't stop somebody from throwing a bomb
00:04:51.400 at the lovely inscribed doors of the synagogue last week.
00:04:56.080 However, people were inside praying
00:04:59.460 when a bomb slammed against the doors, bursting into flame.
00:05:04.800 So, like, imagine that.
00:05:06.440 You're somewhere in Canada praying and someone throws a bomb at you.
00:05:11.160 What does that feel like?
00:05:12.280 Like, can you even imagine it?
00:05:15.800 Aaron Soplaros doesn't have to imagine it.
00:05:18.720 He lived it.
00:05:20.580 He is the regional manager for B'nai B'rith in British Columbia.
00:05:25.900 Good guy.
00:05:26.980 His job is to advocate for the Jewish community in the Lower Mainland.
00:05:30.920 And he does that by fighting anti-Semitism and hate.
00:05:33.660 So hate in all of its forms, not just against Jews.
00:05:36.780 And to help out when one or some of Vancouver's 27,000 Jews needs a hand.
00:05:43.420 And he takes anti-Semitism seriously,
00:05:45.660 like along with being a Jew living in Canada post-October 7th.
00:05:50.440 Aaron is the grandson of Holocaust survivors.
00:05:53.160 And, you know, I asked him,
00:05:54.560 do you feel targeted for being a Jew in Canada these days?
00:05:58.000 And he said, every day.
00:06:00.680 On the night the firebomb hit the front doors of the synagogue,
00:06:04.520 he wasn't far away.
00:06:06.120 Synagogue is in this very nice Vancouver neighborhood, I can tell you.
00:06:10.240 It's just a bit south and east of Granville Island.
00:06:13.960 And Aaron told me what happened next.
00:06:15.740 Like, the second he got the call about the fire,
00:06:18.800 he jumped in his car, didn't know what to expect.
00:06:21.620 Like, this is a synagogue he'd attended every single week.
00:06:24.360 He first attended when he was 10 days old.
00:06:27.300 And when he got there, there were only a few congregants there.
00:06:30.080 One of them had actually thrown his coat on the fire to put it out.
00:06:33.520 And a lot of officers from the Vancouver Police and Fire Departments.
00:06:37.600 So Aaron made his way over to the police to find out what he could.
00:06:41.040 And more and more people started to arrive.
00:06:43.780 There were rabbis from different synagogues,
00:06:46.200 people who didn't attend that particular synagogue,
00:06:49.800 but many of the congregants.
00:06:52.280 And people were stunned.
00:06:53.740 They were horrified.
00:06:54.720 They were disgusted that such a large and important Jewish institution
00:06:58.960 could be targeted in such a violent and dangerous attack
00:07:02.720 because somebody could have been killed.
00:07:05.300 And he, you know, Aaron said to me,
00:07:06.880 it was especially concerning to him
00:07:08.940 that somebody harbored so much hate for Jews
00:07:12.660 that they'd be willing to try and burn down a synagogue
00:07:15.380 where people were inside, where people pray every day,
00:07:18.940 where volunteers packed food boxes for the needy.
00:07:21.920 He'd known some of the people outside for years,
00:07:24.980 so he tried to talk to them, to comfort them,
00:07:26.900 told them that he and others would be working with the police,
00:07:29.980 ensure that the bad people were found and brought to justice.
00:07:33.640 And he said, you know, he told them,
00:07:36.620 we don't want to see an escalation of these types of violent anti-Semitic attacks,
00:07:41.600 except there has been an escalation.
00:07:45.480 There has.
00:07:46.780 A big one right across the country.
00:07:49.520 In the same week, in fact,
00:07:52.260 schools for little Jewish kids in Montreal and Toronto
00:07:54.920 had been sprayed by bullets.
00:07:57.080 And I asked him about that,
00:07:58.260 and he said, well, yeah,
00:07:59.640 just our, you know, the firebombing in Vancouver came
00:08:02.660 just two days after the attacks in Montreal and Toronto.
00:08:06.400 And he said to me, I'm asking myself, what's next?
00:08:11.280 Like, we're way past the need for words and condemnations.
00:08:16.740 And he said to me, if our leaders don't act,
00:08:18.920 it's only a matter of time before people are injured or worse.
00:08:22.640 The violence and the incitement must end now.
00:08:26.020 Will it?
00:08:27.460 Will the violence targeting Canadian Jews end now?
00:08:30.400 Well, it hasn't.
00:08:32.960 Given the pathetic responses to date of some politicians and police and prosecutors,
00:08:39.060 chances are it won't.
00:08:41.260 Next time you're at your place of worship, think about that.
00:08:45.340 Next time you are praying, think about that.
00:08:48.980 Then think about what you'd feel when the bomb hits.
00:08:52.660 Oh, fuck, not again.
00:09:15.640 Every time that I feel it's plain, good things get red.
00:09:21.220 You step from the storm, baby, we should just be friends as you kiss my neck.
00:09:29.620 We were trying on a couple people just to get it right.
00:09:34.300 You fit me a little too tight.
00:09:37.900 Beautiful boy, you're living on lines.
00:09:42.100 Heaven a second gets you feeling right.
00:09:46.120 You're the kind of guy.
00:09:47.860 And I don't know what I know you're kind of crazy.
00:09:51.880 Always on one thing or another.
00:09:55.060 And you're so cool, baby.
00:09:58.100 Do you really know how to have fun?
00:10:08.020 Do you really know how to have fun?
00:10:11.860 We're always talking about how we don't have anything to talk about.
00:10:24.680 Maybe it's that shit that we put in our brains.
00:10:28.600 The way back when it's so romantic.
00:10:32.460 But the kids in the 60s all did the same.
00:10:36.180 And we're all trying on a couple people to get it right.
00:10:40.440 You fit me a little too tight.
00:10:44.100 Beautiful boy, you're living on lines.
00:10:48.240 Heaven in a second gets you feeling right.
00:10:52.300 How do we know when we've got it good?
00:10:56.320 How do we know where to leave when we shouldn't?
00:11:00.320 Yesterday calls, you've got nothing to say.
00:11:04.320 You're a beautiful boy, you're feeling okay.
00:11:08.900 You're the kind of guy that my mama would hate.
00:11:12.880 Oh, you're kind of crazy.
00:11:14.880 Always on one thing or another.
00:11:18.240 You're so cool, baby.
00:11:20.800 But do you really know how to have fun?
00:11:25.260 Oh, you're the kind of guy that my mama would hate.
00:11:29.380 Oh, you're kind of crazy.
00:11:31.220 You're the only one thing or another.
00:11:34.360 And you're so cool, baby.
00:11:37.420 But do you really know how to have fun?
00:11:41.060 Do you really know how to have fun?
00:12:11.060 Do you really know how to have fun?
00:12:16.820 So From the River to the Sea or From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.
00:12:20.900 Obviously, it has its roots, actually, in terror organizations like the Palestinian Liberation Organization that was originally run by Arafat,
00:12:28.640 but also other terror organizations throughout the Middle East,
00:12:31.320 which made multiple speeches and really set the vision of driving out the Jews from the land of Israel,
00:12:37.260 that that was inextricably linked to Palestinian liberation and statehood, that it couldn't be.
00:12:42.780 It was never a two-state solution.
00:12:44.300 It was always about the removal of Jewish population from the place that their indigenousness to, which is the land of Israel.
00:12:50.820 Of course, after October 7th, there has been a weaponization of this term, both online and offline,
00:12:58.740 in the illegal encampment movements in the U.S. campuses,
00:13:01.820 but also in order to harass and target Jews online.
00:13:05.160 As part of the surge in anti-Semitism that we saw post-October 7th, Cyberwell tracked that there was an increase of 86% overall in online anti-Semitism,
00:13:16.140 so almost a doubling in online anti-Semitism in the three or four weeks following October 7th.
00:13:21.880 And from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,
00:13:24.560 has become one of these slogans that on its face is innocuous and doesn't violate any specific digital policy,
00:13:32.860 but is being weaponized against Jews, both in online and offline spaces.
00:13:37.860 We've seen this term tagged and graffitied on synagogues, for example,
00:13:43.660 synagogues that had no signage outside in support of Israel,
00:13:47.060 for example, the historic synagogue of Barcelona, also synagogues in Philadelphia.
00:13:52.620 So it really has been turned into this phrase that's meant to target and harass Jews in their places of worship,
00:13:59.200 their communities, their campuses, and in online spaces.
00:14:02.560 Now, one thing you say in the report is it's veiled language.
00:14:09.060 And so what is the purpose then?
00:14:11.120 You know, why didn't they not just say, as they do, genocide?
00:14:15.040 Why not make the bald allegation?
00:14:17.260 Why this reliance on what would be considered, I guess, a dog whistle?
00:14:24.040 So I think that we've seen that the anti-Israel or pro-Palestinian movement,
00:14:32.480 like many other movements that are trying to normalize radical ideas,
00:14:37.720 don't come out and say exactly what they mean in the beginning.
00:14:42.980 This is something that's been consistent also with the BDS movement,
00:14:46.680 and it was consistent, by the way, with the Nazi movement in Germany, right?
00:14:49.760 Nobody started talking about the final solution against the Jewish people as point number one in the Third Reich
00:14:55.100 that took time to develop and kind of to prime and ready the fascist society of the Third Reich
00:15:01.980 in order to actually go that far.
00:15:03.740 I actually think that there are more worrying slogans that are very clear calls to violent mobilization and action,
00:15:11.180 such as globalize the Antifada, glory to our martyrs, long live our martyrs.
00:15:16.060 These are things that are inextricably linked to acts of terror and to glorifying acts of terror
00:15:20.020 that are also being used in online spaces and, of course, offline and demonstrations
00:15:25.740 and in the legal encampment movement.
00:15:27.860 What we see with From the River to the Sea is an attempt by the Oversight Board of Mehta,
00:15:33.880 which is the Supreme Court of Mehta,
00:15:36.380 to take on this issue of From the River to the Sea
00:15:39.160 and kind of give a good governance policy or digital policy on this specific language,
00:15:45.080 which has been used by Palestinian activists that are pro-two-state solution,
00:15:51.880 that are pro-Palestinian statehood,
00:15:53.520 just because its roots started off with terrorist organizations
00:15:56.920 doesn't necessarily mean that in every case that it's being used,
00:16:02.460 that it's being used to effectively drive out Jews from their indigenous land of Israel.
00:16:13.540 So even though they've been...
00:16:16.040 Sorry, I'm just going to regroup and answer your question again, if that's okay.
00:16:19.540 Go ahead.
00:16:20.220 The term is being used in order to normalize a radical concept,
00:16:25.020 not unlike what we've seen in other radical movements.
00:16:28.480 Like as with QAnon, as you pointed out in the report.
00:16:33.320 Yes, absolutely.
00:16:34.420 So one of the things that CyberWell came with as a solution to this issue
00:16:40.300 of how do you deal with From the River to the Sea
00:16:42.500 when it may have meanings to both sides, right?
00:16:46.740 Also to pro-Palestinian activists who are genuinely concerned about a humanitarian situation in Gaza
00:16:53.660 and, more importantly, want to advocate for Palestinian statehood.
00:16:57.760 And also means something very clear to Jews who see this as a call to commit genocide
00:17:04.340 against Jews living in Israel and to destroy Israeli statehood.
00:17:07.500 So how do you balance the fact that this specific failed term means multiple things?
00:17:12.140 We looked at a policy that Meta has on the books called the Militarized Groups Policy
00:17:19.140 that was used against the terminology where we go one, we go all,
00:17:23.140 that was typically affiliated with QAnon.
00:17:25.360 This policy started being enacted in terms of its removal and targeting of this phrase
00:17:30.700 and other QAnon pages, events, and accounts as early as August 2020
00:17:37.320 for the concern that the QAnon movement had become a violent conspiracy theory
00:17:42.780 that was actually looking to achieve violent ends.
00:17:46.700 And the argument that essentially CyberWell is making is this is already a policy on the books
00:17:51.140 with a conspiracy theory that caused significant real-world harm.
00:17:56.140 And if we would compare, you know, the January 6th insurrection,
00:17:59.820 which was a one-time event that caused a significant amount of damage
00:18:02.960 and institutional damage, of course,
00:18:05.400 and we're looking also at the illegal encampment movement in the U.S. campuses
00:18:09.560 and Canadian campuses today,
00:18:11.760 even if we tally up the amount of damage that's being done in the dollar amount,
00:18:15.840 there's significant evidence that there is very much real-world harm to public safety.
00:18:21.140 For calls to terror and, of course,
00:18:22.680 to targeting Jews and promoting anti-Semitism with this terminology.
00:18:27.320 And as such, we think it's responsible of the platforms
00:18:29.740 to treat this term specifically the same way that they would
00:18:33.280 when we go on, we go on.
00:18:34.940 How have they responded so far to that argument?
00:18:38.440 So CyberWell submitted this to the Oversight Board directly
00:18:41.980 as part of their process of creating a recommendation to Meta
00:18:46.420 on how to treat this term.
00:18:48.260 This is a first expert opinion and the first organization to cite this policy
00:18:53.740 as something that should be implemented for From the River to the Sea.
00:18:56.900 We will be sharing this public opinion with the platforms directly,
00:19:01.680 including other platforms,
00:19:02.980 because we think it's good governance in general on this policy,
00:19:06.780 given the level of real-world harm that has been committed
00:19:10.260 in the name of this slogan.
00:19:11.480 No, it's a fine piece of research, too.
00:19:15.040 So the etymology of it,
00:19:16.960 what are your origins of From the River to the Sea?
00:19:21.660 From the River to the Sea originally was used
00:19:25.000 by both the Palestinian Liberation Organization,
00:19:28.160 which was run by Yasser Arafan and at the time was a terrorist organization,
00:19:31.460 and also by other Arab leaders in the region
00:19:36.100 when kind of setting the tone for the vision
00:19:39.100 of what was supposed to be done with Israel.
00:19:41.420 In the beginning, there was no interest in a two-state solution.
00:19:45.880 This was definitely setting the vision that the only solution
00:19:48.600 for the Middle Eastern conflict was to drive out Jewish presence
00:19:51.980 from the land of Israel.
00:19:53.780 But after the Oslo Accords, specifically,
00:19:58.360 and when the PLO rejected terrorism on paper,
00:20:02.620 then this terminology continued to be promoted
00:20:05.800 by movements like the Boycott of Mesut and Sanctuary movements
00:20:10.760 in North America and various activists
00:20:14.020 who are calling for Palestinian statements.
00:20:16.620 So I think it's important to acknowledge
00:20:18.580 that this terminology does mean multiple things to multiple people.
00:20:23.780 And that when you're making digital policy in general for good governance,
00:20:28.220 you need to balance freedom of expression with public safety.
00:20:32.280 However, again, there is a policy that's already on the books
00:20:36.200 that treated a similarly, seemingly innocuous term,
00:20:39.880 something that is a late policy,
00:20:42.000 where we will go one, we go all,
00:20:44.020 with a significant treatment to actually de-amplify,
00:20:48.360 contain, and monitor the use of this term
00:20:51.160 when it's being used to promote harassment
00:20:53.600 and online bullying and targeting of users
00:20:55.920 because it was affiliated with a violent conspiracy theory.
00:20:59.300 And you can make the argument that the level of misinformation
00:21:02.000 and disinformation that's being spread
00:21:04.000 around the current defensive war in Gaza
00:21:06.300 is very much like a violent conspiracy theory
00:21:10.160 because you have young people who are extremely,
00:21:13.600 extremely activated by the levels of misinformation
00:21:18.160 and disinformation that they're seeing online on these platforms.
00:21:21.360 And it's causing them to commit real-world harm.
00:21:24.660 Just to give you a data point on that,
00:21:26.720 the University of Amsterdam,
00:21:29.160 which was also the site of an illegal encampment movement
00:21:32.280 and violent protest,
00:21:33.420 estimated that the damages caused to their buildings
00:21:35.820 and to neighborhoods in the surrounding area
00:21:38.520 is at about 1.5 million euros.
00:21:41.460 That's from one day of protesting, okay?
00:21:45.900 So again, the thing that the platforms look at
00:21:49.580 when they're considering how to limit specific slogans
00:21:54.440 is this consideration of real-world harm.
00:21:58.840 The real-world harm threshold has been met and surpassed
00:22:03.800 when it comes to the use of the term
00:22:05.560 from the river to the sea.
00:22:06.940 And it's time that the platforms take a consistent
00:22:11.440 and effective measure against the slogan
00:22:13.640 the same way that they did with QAnon.
00:22:17.500 Where in your data,
00:22:19.860 where are you finding geographically, demographically,
00:22:22.660 where are you finding its usage most prevalent?
00:22:26.660 So I can share with you,
00:22:28.600 I can check that specifically for you
00:22:30.920 and then get back to you
00:22:31.980 because we kind of tend to do a larger geographic
00:22:36.280 kind of sampling on all of our data,
00:22:38.780 not specifically related to the slogan.
00:22:41.120 But I can share with you
00:22:42.800 that in the geographic data that we have from 2023 alone,
00:22:48.880 that the United States, Germany, and Egypt
00:22:52.260 were our top three geolocations.
00:22:54.520 But I will be able to get back to you that,
00:22:56.320 but it's not phrase specific.
00:22:58.360 Thank you.
00:22:59.280 Final question for now.
00:23:03.900 You know, we've all seen this superficially funny videos
00:23:07.940 of students being asked,
00:23:10.260 you know, do you know what river and what sea?
00:23:13.780 And, you know, they get these ridiculous responses,
00:23:17.120 which to me at some level is kind of dangerous
00:23:20.400 because it minimizes the harm caused by this phrase.
00:23:24.920 Like, do we, do you have any sense
00:23:27.660 to CyberWell done any probing?
00:23:29.980 I know this would be a deep dive
00:23:31.380 into how many actually truly understand
00:23:35.340 the meaning and the significance
00:23:37.080 and how the words are in fact painful
00:23:40.440 to Jews and Jewish people.
00:23:43.840 It's a great survey question.
00:23:46.340 We at CyberWell look at online data
00:23:48.480 and we don't look at surveys.
00:23:50.100 But I can tell you that there are on both sides
00:23:55.280 this issue of, I don't think that the knowledge
00:23:58.140 of which river and which sea changes the fact
00:24:01.080 that if the language is meant to target the Jew,
00:24:05.060 over 95 of which in the North America
00:24:07.440 identify as Zionists, right?
00:24:10.380 They know which river and which sea.
00:24:12.780 And more importantly, even if nobody knew
00:24:14.900 which river and we see,
00:24:15.880 and all we were saying was long live the spaghetti monster,
00:24:18.160 and that was being a slogan that was used
00:24:21.000 in order to physically attack students,
00:24:24.600 harass students, target them in their dorm rooms,
00:24:27.800 spit on students, block members of the press
00:24:30.440 from entering the legal encampments,
00:24:32.600 bully people, harass people, et cetera,
00:24:34.980 and of course do millions of dollars of damage
00:24:37.400 to our public universities.
00:24:39.380 Even if the phrase was long live the spaghetti monster,
00:24:41.880 it wouldn't really matter.
00:24:42.920 What matters is the real world harm
00:24:45.000 that's being committed underneath this slogan
00:24:48.960 and refusing to recognize it
00:24:52.340 because it once meant something to somebody else.
00:24:55.940 It's refusing to recognize the real world damage
00:24:58.820 that it's causing and the fact that it's being used
00:25:01.080 to incite and mobilize violent acts
00:25:03.580 and even glorify terrorism
00:25:04.980 is detrimental to national security.
00:25:09.400 So it makes a lot of sense
00:25:11.580 that digital policy needs to reflect this sensitivity.
00:25:15.240 I ain't hanging up this time
00:25:19.200 I ain't giving up tonight
00:25:23.380 Even if you walk around
00:25:26.500 as though you'd think you're right
00:25:28.480 At your waist I still believe it's worth the fight
00:25:32.800 I could make it all go away
00:25:37.100 Tell me what you're thinking
00:25:40.260 Don't delay
00:25:41.600 We could still be having some sweet memories
00:25:46.900 This heart's two beats for you
00:25:49.560 Why can't you see?
00:25:51.940 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:25:54.020 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:25:58.260 Stop your crying, it's all right
00:26:02.520 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:26:06.400 Stop pretending I'm not there
00:26:11.360 When it's clear I'm not going anywhere
00:26:15.160 If I'm out of sight then take another look around
00:26:19.780 I'm still out there hoping to be found
00:26:23.880 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:26:26.640 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:26:30.940 Stop your crying, it's all right
00:26:34.980 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:26:38.780 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:26:40.820 I could make it all disappear
00:26:44.540 You could feed me all of your fears
00:26:49.460 We could end all this pain right here
00:26:53.740 We could rewind all of those tears
00:26:57.960 I could take it down to the floor
00:27:01.880 You don't have to feel it anymore
00:27:05.680 You don't have to feel it anymore
00:27:06.260 The love is so real that it can't be ignored
00:27:10.020 It's all over, baby
00:27:12.480 I'm still young
00:27:14.580 I'm still young
00:27:18.440 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:27:20.460 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:27:24.680 Stop pretending to my life
00:27:28.880 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:27:32.420 Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
00:27:34.380 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:27:41.100 Oh, oh, oh, oh
00:27:45.100 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:27:49.640 guitar solo
00:28:19.640 There's safe ridings and there's ridings that are always up in the air that you call kind of swing
00:28:38.440 ridings when things are looking great for the conservatives next thing you know that riding
00:28:42.640 turns blue when the liberals swept in in 2015 they won a bunch of seats they hadn't won in ages
00:28:48.500 they never lose usually in Toronto to the conservatives and if they do it's to the NDP
00:28:55.320 Toronto St. Paul's by-election is two weeks from Monday and it is a coin flip right now so it would
00:29:01.920 seem Carolyn Bennett held that riding for a lot of years she won four straight elections and the last
00:29:08.100 two she had 49 percent to the conservatives 25 and prior to that she had 54.3 percent in 2019
00:29:14.860 to the conservatives 21 but times have changed uh and a lot of people are wondering does Justin
00:29:20.460 Trudeau get kicked to the road if they can't hold on to this seat Warren Kinsella uh joins us right now
00:29:26.900 on the show we always enjoy our chats with him he of course um has uh has an opinion about whether
00:29:32.600 Justin Trudeau is sticking around for the next federal election or not he's CEO of the Daisy
00:29:36.020 group good morning good morning sir what do you think here um if the liberals are you still of
00:29:41.980 the mind Trudeau won't be the leader of the next uh election we go to likely in 16 months I am because
00:29:48.300 he's not a dummy and he's been behind his opponent his main opponent for 15 to 20 points for a year
00:29:55.920 actually more than a year so like he he can read a poll like the rest of us and he knows
00:30:01.940 he's a goner if he sticks around so I don't think he wants to stick around for that and in the case
00:30:07.420 of St. Paul's if they lose that one I can't believe we're actually talking I know the liberals losing
00:30:13.360 this is like what the Democrats used to call a yellow dog riding right you could run a yellow dog
00:30:19.420 in it and it would vote Democrat like this one is as liberal as liberal can be like if it's the end
00:30:25.660 of the world Greg and there's like one or two ridings left that are saved for the liberal party
00:30:31.580 one would be Mount Royal Montreal the other would be St. Paul's in Toronto like if they lose this one
00:30:37.260 it's like lights out I talked to and again maybe this is uh this is not necessarily indicative of
00:30:42.700 everybody but I talked to a friend of mine who lives in Davenport uh yesterday and they always
00:30:47.060 either vote NDP that's March Stiles provincial riding it's a really safe NDP or liberal riding
00:30:51.280 and he said all we have time for him all his neighbors is safety on the streets bottom line can we
00:30:58.960 pay our mortgage can we put food on the table can we get kids to university they don't care about
00:31:03.660 flags they don't care about what's going on overseas they don't care about any of that it's bottom line
00:31:08.360 meat and potatoes and if the liberals look like they're focusing too much on the other stuff Warren
00:31:12.780 they're in trouble in these kind of ridings they are and you know this is if you look at why is Pierre
00:31:17.740 Paulieva ahead why is he ahead as much as 20 points and just about every reputable poll you can see
00:31:24.240 it's because you know he does periodically talk about the Middle East he does periodically talk
00:31:29.560 about you know other stuff but the the thing that he sticks to he just doesn't let it go he's a dog
00:31:35.900 with a bone talk about dogs again is pocketbook issues because that is an issue in St. Paul and
00:31:42.960 it's an issue in Red Deer and it's an issue like in Smithers BC everywhere you go that is the main issue
00:31:49.820 the one that people are most preoccupied with and you know the liberals just have dropped the ball on
00:31:56.580 that one it's just hard to picture Justin Trudeau ever worrying about a rent or a mortgage payment
00:32:02.120 or the next hydro bill and Paulieva is much more credible on it and that's why something's happened
00:32:08.040 that I can't remember ever happening Pierre Paulieva the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada
00:32:13.660 actually is personally campaigned in St. Paul's used to be that you know that would just be a flyover
00:32:19.660 riding you know the leader would look down from his plane and wave at it like he's actually spent
00:32:25.320 time in St. Paul's that tells you they think they could win it I noticed um with this particular
00:32:30.280 riding um they've sent they have sent Christian Freeland out to campaign and knock on doors
00:32:35.080 not trying to be mean but Warren if you're that candidate uh would you be like I'm good on my own
00:32:41.700 like there's I there's a lot of polarization with the finance minister uh she's one of the most well-known
00:32:47.380 cabinet ministers you could send somebody from the suburbs somebody from where I live somebody from
00:32:51.340 London out and it's just going to be another face a smiling face at the door people know who
00:32:55.860 Christian Freeland is I'm not sure that's a great strategy no she's not a vote getter she's not a vote
00:33:02.480 winner I mean she is uh pretty close to the blast radius you know when the when the end times come for
00:33:09.400 the Trudeau guys but I mean she's there because Leslie Church is the liberal candidate used to work for
00:33:15.520 and you know Leslie Church I've known her for a decade and she's smart but she has no connection
00:33:20.640 to the riding you know her claim is well I lived in St. Paul's you know when I went to UT well that
00:33:26.980 that doesn't quite cut it and I think you know she worked for Freeland she was chief of staff to Freeland
00:33:33.520 and previously she'd worked for Google and she received lobbyists from Google after she worked in
00:33:40.900 Google and but you know she's just a classic Trudeau liberal she's been up there forever
00:33:45.760 and uh decided well I'm gonna head down to 401 and I'm gonna win this riding well not so fast it looks
00:33:52.580 like there is an excellent chance in two weeks time the liberals could lose it so there there is a lot
00:33:57.800 being written about this uh about this concept and the the phrase Althea Raj used it and um she's no
00:34:04.400 dummy she's connected she says there will be quote immense pressure on Trudeau to resign so you're
00:34:10.020 buying that if he loses if the liberals lose on the 24th no I am not buying it um with the greatest
00:34:15.820 respect to her like the thing you got to remember about Trudeau he's he's had he has had some big
00:34:22.660 accomplishments and his biggest political accomplishment was in 2015 taking the Liberal
00:34:28.380 Party of Canada which was in third place in the House of Commons the first place with a huge majority
00:34:34.840 like as much as people dislike him now that is a big big achievement and all of those liberals who
00:34:41.520 are there you know they owe their political careers to him right that's why you've never seen any of them
00:34:47.600 really rising up on their hind legs and saying he's got to go that happened to Martin that happened
00:34:53.500 to Turner that happened to a bunch of them but it doesn't happen to this guy because you know they're
00:34:58.620 all just kind of first termers so first term in a bit uh who owe everything to him so I I'm not sure
00:35:05.200 that they are going to do that but he should he should leave because it's not good to live
00:35:09.960 I don't wanna be funny anymore
00:35:17.540 I don't wanna be funny anymore
00:35:24.540 Lately I've been feeling like the odd man now
00:35:32.540 I heard my friends saying things I don't mean out loud
00:35:40.120 I don't wanna be funny anymore
00:35:46.120 I got a too short skirt maybe I can be the cute one
00:35:53.120 Is there room in the band I don't need to be the front man
00:36:00.700 If not then I'll be the biggest fan
00:36:07.500 I don't want the drip to be on me
00:36:14.200 Yeah I'll buy the clothes and I'll be the best dressed
00:36:21.780 Yeah I'll read the books and I'll be the smartest
00:36:28.780 I'll play guitar and I'll be the hardest
00:36:37.780 Try not to laugh
00:36:42.360 I know it'll be hard
00:36:46.360 I'm serious
00:36:48.560 I know it's the first part
00:36:53.360 I don't wanna be funny anymore
00:37:17.980 Yeah I'll be the gossip here through the grapevine
00:37:25.500 Pass it on she's done with me all time
00:37:34.800 That funny girl
00:37:38.360 Doesn't wanna smile for a while
00:37:44.240 This is CFRA Live Sunday Political Panel
00:37:49.120 And welcome to it 8.07 here on CFRA Live
00:37:54.920 Time for our Political Panel
00:37:56.060 Joining us on the phone this morning is Carl Belanger
00:37:58.140 He is the president at Traction Strategies
00:38:00.120 Good morning Carl
00:38:00.740 Morning Andrew
00:38:01.780 Tasha Carradine is a political columnist for the National Post
00:38:04.400 She is an author and writer for GZero Media as well
00:38:06.940 Good morning Tasha
00:38:07.720 Good morning
00:38:09.020 And Warren Kinsella is a strategist and Post Media columnist
00:38:11.720 You can read him in the Toronto Sun
00:38:13.600 Warren thanks for joining us
00:38:14.880 Morning guys
00:38:15.980 Usually we start off with federal politics
00:38:18.260 We're gonna kick around a little bit of a local one here
00:38:20.120 Just to ask Carl's thoughts on this
00:38:22.080 Carl we've been hearing in the news this morning
00:38:23.760 Gatineau is heading to the polls
00:38:25.240 Quebec's third largest city just across the river
00:38:27.460 Obviously this a little bit of a surprise one
00:38:30.660 Because the former mayor kind of stepped down very suddenly
00:38:33.520 Citing the very toxic political atmosphere that they were citing
00:38:37.480 But has anything changed?
00:38:39.600 I want to get your thoughts on who you're watching Carl
00:38:41.140 But has anything changed in terms of the political atmosphere here?
00:38:44.960 It doesn't appear so
00:38:46.260 Because just Friday a city councillor from Gatineau announced
00:38:50.360 That he was taking a pause for a mental health reason
00:38:54.240 Because he was being harassed and inundated with
00:38:57.680 What he described as mean messages and hateful messages
00:39:01.140 And that he just could not keep doing it anymore
00:39:04.160 So it's still the same
00:39:06.120 Despite that
00:39:07.420 There are seven candidates trying to replace the mayor
00:39:11.340 One is a member of Action Gatineau
00:39:14.560 Maud-Marquis-Bissonne
00:39:15.380 That she's been leading in the polls the entire campaign
00:39:17.640 With around 37-38% of support
00:39:20.320 Behind her are six independents
00:39:23.080 Including the former mayor of Gatineau
00:39:24.820 The first mayor of the post-merger era
00:39:27.320 Who's trying to make a comeback
00:39:29.760 And he's been quite aggressive in his tone
00:39:33.920 It's been noted by observers and by the voters
00:39:39.080 That said
00:39:40.760 If you are going to stop Action Gatineau
00:39:43.180 It's probably the best bet
00:39:44.340 So we'll see how the turnout will be
00:39:47.160 Because during the advance polls
00:39:48.940 It was only 10%
00:39:50.020 And it's a rainy day right now
00:39:52.500 And usually people don't tend to get out much when it rains
00:39:55.620 So it will come down to who can get out the vote
00:39:58.920 And on that front
00:39:59.780 You have two machines
00:40:00.840 One of a political party
00:40:03.380 Which has eight city councillors
00:40:06.660 And the other one
00:40:07.760 Yves Deschamps
00:40:08.400 Can count on the support of six independent councillors
00:40:11.120 And their own machines
00:40:12.280 So it will come down to that
00:40:13.700 The good old get out the vote
00:40:15.200 Yeah and you know
00:40:16.580 A municipal by-election at that
00:40:18.140 That decides the mayor
00:40:19.120 It's a very rare one
00:40:20.740 So we'll definitely be watching that closely
00:40:22.400 To see what happens
00:40:23.280 Turning our attention kind of nationally
00:40:25.480 Seeing some new poll numbers this week
00:40:27.400 I wanted to ask you guys about this
00:40:28.980 Because Nano's polls this week
00:40:30.660 Showing that more Canadians are likely to prefer
00:40:33.640 A number of Canadians prefer
00:40:35.040 A new Liberal leader in the next election
00:40:37.640 That is not Justin Trudeau
00:40:39.140 Warren I'll start with you
00:40:40.660 Is this
00:40:41.660 If you're the Liberal Party
00:40:43.580 Do you take this seriously
00:40:44.640 Or does it matter more about
00:40:46.220 You know party members
00:40:47.360 At the end of the day
00:40:48.200 Well yeah
00:40:49.760 You should take it seriously
00:40:50.900 You know
00:40:51.540 They've been behind by as much as
00:40:53.460 21 points for a year
00:40:55.040 Actually it's over a year now
00:40:56.480 Like a year
00:40:57.480 Like they're going to get massacred
00:40:59.740 With Justin Trudeau
00:41:01.140 As their leader
00:41:01.880 And
00:41:03.020 But to answer your question
00:41:04.760 No
00:41:05.140 It doesn't seem like
00:41:06.300 They're taking it seriously
00:41:07.500 Because
00:41:08.460 You know
00:41:09.400 They've cultivated
00:41:10.160 Nobody in the wings
00:41:11.580 Waiting to take over
00:41:12.820 First time in the Liberal Party's history
00:41:14.380 That I can recall
00:41:15.220 And you know
00:41:17.660 Nobody's agitating
00:41:18.620 For Trudeau to go
00:41:20.020 You know
00:41:20.320 You get a senator say something
00:41:22.020 Percy down
00:41:23.080 And maybe one member
00:41:24.180 From Atlantic Canada
00:41:25.340 Says something
00:41:25.940 Then they back down
00:41:26.900 Like
00:41:27.560 They're heading towards
00:41:29.660 Total disaster
00:41:30.860 And polling is now showing
00:41:32.420 That
00:41:33.440 If they have somebody else
00:41:35.260 As leader
00:41:36.160 They stand a better chance
00:41:38.140 Than they do at the moment
00:41:39.080 So yeah
00:41:39.980 It feels like
00:41:40.540 They're sleepwalking
00:41:41.460 Towards total disaster
00:41:42.880 And Tasha
00:41:43.920 To Warren's point here
00:41:45.340 Are all of these signs
00:41:46.760 Have all of these red flags
00:41:48.140 Been flying
00:41:48.680 And the Trudeau Liberals
00:41:49.960 And the Liberal Party
00:41:50.840 As a whole
00:41:52.060 Kind of been ignoring them
00:41:53.200 Short answer
00:41:55.840 Yes
00:41:56.800 And I think that
00:41:58.240 That is
00:41:58.940 A testament
00:41:59.740 To
00:42:00.400 How
00:42:01.320 I don't say rudderless
00:42:02.900 But how
00:42:03.580 The party
00:42:04.600 Doesn't have a clear successor
00:42:06.060 This is
00:42:06.680 This is the issue
00:42:07.340 I mean
00:42:07.660 People are agitating
00:42:08.600 Sure
00:42:08.960 But there's no one
00:42:10.000 Who's ready
00:42:11.600 To
00:42:12.160 I guess
00:42:12.760 Mount more of a challenge
00:42:14.160 Directly to Trudeau
00:42:15.100 And every time
00:42:15.520 Someone seems to do that
00:42:16.760 They immediately back
00:42:17.580 Scuttle back into their corner
00:42:18.760 Like Dominic LeBlanc
00:42:19.660 Did not too long ago
00:42:20.700 When the rumors
00:42:21.660 Started flying around him
00:42:22.780 Interesting
00:42:23.700 Mark Carney
00:42:24.260 Is making another
00:42:25.100 Keynote speech
00:42:26.360 At a conference
00:42:26.920 In Toronto
00:42:27.420 This week
00:42:28.200 So who knows
00:42:29.320 It'll be up to Trudeau
00:42:30.900 To take the walk
00:42:31.620 In the sand
00:42:32.200 Or the snow
00:42:32.700 Or whatever he does
00:42:33.620 I wonder if the latest
00:42:35.400 NSCOP report
00:42:37.180 Is going to put some pressure
00:42:38.360 Because
00:42:39.000 Things are getting so hot
00:42:41.000 On the foreign interference
00:42:41.800 Side
00:42:42.640 It's an uncomfortable place
00:42:44.120 For the Prime Minister to be
00:42:45.140 And I'm wondering
00:42:46.500 If maybe
00:42:46.960 Rather than face that music
00:42:48.360 He may want to
00:42:50.080 To not run again
00:42:51.660 To leave this to somebody else
00:42:53.140 But we'll see
00:42:53.740 So I was thinking
00:42:54.600 This week
00:42:54.940 The last thing
00:42:55.520 That the federal government
00:42:56.460 Wants is a border closure
00:42:57.960 For that CBSA strike
00:42:59.640 So
00:42:59.880 With everything else
00:43:01.420 That they're dealing with
00:43:02.080 Right now
00:43:02.500 Carl
00:43:03.320 I was kind of wondering
00:43:04.040 Just in a sense
00:43:04.640 If it does appear
00:43:05.380 That this is going to be
00:43:06.320 You know
00:43:06.500 A Trudeau versus
00:43:07.260 Polyev election
00:43:08.480 In this sense
00:43:09.420 So
00:43:09.680 If you're Trudeau
00:43:10.760 You're looking at this
00:43:11.420 And sure
00:43:11.840 Canadians
00:43:12.280 It says in this poll
00:43:13.160 A lot of Canadians
00:43:14.400 Don't want me on
00:43:15.120 As next leader
00:43:15.900 In the election
00:43:16.500 But again
00:43:17.600 If you're
00:43:19.280 The Trudeau government
00:43:20.540 Are you listening to that
00:43:22.100 Or are you kind of
00:43:22.980 Narrowing in on the areas
00:43:24.240 Where you can
00:43:24.980 Kind of
00:43:25.440 Nail down on here
00:43:26.860 Trying to
00:43:27.680 Get some support
00:43:28.620 In other areas
00:43:30.580 Yeah
00:43:32.160 I mean
00:43:32.380 You have to look at
00:43:33.040 Trudeau's mindset
00:43:34.220 You know
00:43:35.400 The guy came from
00:43:36.600 Behind three times
00:43:37.600 To win a general election
00:43:38.640 And so
00:43:39.380 I assume
00:43:40.240 He thinks he can do it again
00:43:41.520 And he would relish
00:43:42.380 To go toe-to-toe
00:43:43.580 With Polyev in the election
00:43:44.640 And I think he thinks
00:43:46.060 He can beat him
00:43:46.820 And so sure
00:43:48.360 The polls right now
00:43:49.280 Are not good
00:43:50.020 And you have this
00:43:50.660 This one
00:43:51.180 Indicating that
00:43:51.960 Over half
00:43:52.660 Canadians would like
00:43:54.280 To see a different
00:43:54.980 Liberal leader
00:43:55.580 But the problem is
00:43:56.560 As my colleagues
00:43:57.520 Pointed out
00:43:57.960 Is that there's nobody
00:43:58.580 Really in the wings
00:43:59.440 And therefore
00:44:00.120 Voters are projecting
00:44:01.380 You know
00:44:01.980 They're
00:44:02.980 Who's the ideal
00:44:05.000 Liberal leader
00:44:05.820 And sure
00:44:06.340 Anybody but Trudeau
00:44:07.240 Could do better
00:44:07.880 Except that
00:44:08.840 When you come down to it
00:44:09.960 Those numbers
00:44:10.700 Were very similar
00:44:12.020 When Brian Mulroney
00:44:13.340 Left
00:44:13.700 And that led to what?
00:44:16.060 That led to
00:44:16.640 Kim Campbell
00:44:17.300 And two seats
00:44:18.100 In a complete route
00:44:19.060 Of the Conservatives
00:44:21.360 So I think
00:44:22.460 Liberals are fully aware
00:44:23.560 Of that
00:44:23.980 And so
00:44:25.580 If you're going to go down
00:44:26.840 Do you want to have
00:44:28.180 Somebody that has
00:44:29.200 No experience
00:44:29.740 Has not been able
00:44:31.320 To showcase
00:44:32.940 Any kind of
00:44:33.760 An actual history
00:44:35.520 And then have to
00:44:37.540 Repeat this
00:44:38.120 Scenario again
00:44:39.040 The next election
00:44:40.080 So I think
00:44:40.780 You have to be
00:44:41.440 Very careful
00:44:41.980 What you wish for
00:44:42.740 When it's time
00:44:43.340 To change a leader
00:44:44.240 Because you could
00:44:45.460 Always do worse
00:44:46.280 And it's happened
00:44:47.240 In the past
00:44:47.920 And you know
00:44:49.220 One of the big
00:44:49.820 I think topics
00:44:50.600 That will be driving
00:44:51.480 You know
00:44:51.960 Whenever the next election
00:44:52.780 Is going to be
00:44:53.700 The economy
00:44:54.180 We did see
00:44:54.720 The Bank of Canada
00:44:55.360 Cut rates for the first time
00:44:56.660 In more than four years
00:44:57.940 So initially
00:44:58.760 I was thinking
00:44:59.300 Perhaps this takes
00:45:00.480 Some pressure off
00:45:01.420 The government
00:45:01.760 In terms of
00:45:02.420 The economy right now
00:45:04.160 But we did see
00:45:04.680 Job numbers this week
00:45:05.520 That were pretty weak
00:45:06.420 In comparison to the U.S.
00:45:08.120 As well
00:45:08.560 Maybe Tash
00:45:09.360 I'll start with you
00:45:09.900 On this one
00:45:10.340 In terms of the economy
00:45:11.400 Is this kind of
00:45:13.500 The biggest political football
00:45:14.740 For the Trudeau liberals
00:45:16.880 Right now
00:45:17.320 Is navigating
00:45:17.980 The current
00:45:18.380 Economic situation
00:45:20.260 That Canada is in
00:45:21.240 Yeah
00:45:23.000 I think that
00:45:24.000 You know
00:45:25.220 They're just hoping
00:45:25.900 Things turn around
00:45:26.800 This is the whole idea
00:45:28.500 That things turn around
00:45:29.780 They'll be in a position
00:45:31.240 To say
00:45:32.640 Look
00:45:32.860 You know
00:45:33.180 We did it
00:45:33.680 We pulled the rabbit
00:45:34.300 Out of the hat
00:45:34.880 And the conservatives
00:45:36.000 Will lose their main focus
00:45:37.820 Which has been
00:45:38.620 It's the economy stupid
00:45:39.900 Right
00:45:40.320 And I
00:45:41.300 You know
00:45:41.660 The conservatives
00:45:42.140 Know that
00:45:42.640 That's why
00:45:42.960 They've sidebarred
00:45:44.080 To other issues
00:45:44.620 Like crime
00:45:45.280 Which will
00:45:45.940 Presumably still be
00:45:47.220 An issue
00:45:48.260 In a year
00:45:49.260 I think that
00:45:52.720 The liberals
00:45:53.180 However it is
00:45:54.520 It's a risky gamble
00:45:55.560 Because I think
00:45:56.380 People are so
00:45:57.180 Entrenched right now
00:45:58.300 In how bad things are
00:45:59.260 Even a small change
00:46:00.700 In interest rates
00:46:01.660 Isn't going to
00:46:03.260 You know
00:46:03.660 Turn the whole ship
00:46:04.540 Of state around
00:46:05.220 It's too
00:46:05.740 It's too big
00:46:06.580 It will take years
00:46:07.780 So I think that
00:46:09.140 It's sort of
00:46:09.840 A misplaced bet
00:46:10.600 On their part
00:46:11.200 Warren
00:46:12.200 And as I mentioned
00:46:13.100 A couple of different
00:46:13.800 Political
00:46:14.140 Or economic indicators
00:46:15.620 Here
00:46:16.000 It does show that
00:46:17.060 Canada's economy
00:46:17.780 Is a little weak
00:46:18.480 Right now
00:46:18.880 If you're the liberals
00:46:20.000 Right now
00:46:20.380 Would that be
00:46:21.400 Your main focus
00:46:22.020 Right now
00:46:22.440 Is touting
00:46:23.540 Trying to
00:46:24.240 Spurse some investment
00:46:25.320 In the economy
00:46:25.940 Well that should have
00:46:27.300 Been their focus
00:46:27.880 For the past two years
00:46:29.040 You know
00:46:29.660 The principal reason
00:46:30.640 Why
00:46:31.300 Polyev is ahead
00:46:33.420 Is you know
00:46:34.800 It's not the Middle East
00:46:35.920 It's not law and order
00:46:37.180 It's not vaccinations
00:46:38.520 It's pocketbook stuff
00:46:40.420 Like he
00:46:41.080 He doesn't talk
00:46:41.880 About anything else
00:46:42.820 You know
00:46:43.160 He'll occasionally
00:46:43.820 Say something about Israel
00:46:45.100 Or what have you
00:46:46.340 But he is like
00:46:47.580 A dog with a bone
00:46:48.680 On economic issues
00:46:50.080 And that's where
00:46:50.840 You know
00:46:51.400 Voters are at
00:46:52.380 That's where the public
00:46:53.220 Is at
00:46:53.860 So this rate drop
00:46:55.700 Is the first one
00:46:56.700 In more than four years
00:46:57.940 It's not huge
00:46:59.300 But it's
00:46:59.860 It's welcome news
00:47:00.800 I know you pointed out
00:47:02.140 That you know
00:47:02.840 Job growth
00:47:03.560 Is not so great
00:47:04.500 If job growth
00:47:05.600 Gets super strong again
00:47:07.200 That's when you see
00:47:07.920 Rates going up
00:47:08.940 As we've seen
00:47:09.600 Over the past year
00:47:10.640 So I think
00:47:11.700 Probably they're
00:47:12.700 In a good place
00:47:13.460 In that regard
00:47:14.160 In terms of
00:47:15.020 You know
00:47:15.200 The fiscal reality
00:47:16.180 But in terms of
00:47:17.380 The economic reality
00:47:18.780 They're not
00:47:19.840 Because they've let go
00:47:21.560 Of economic strength
00:47:23.140 And they did have
00:47:23.840 Some things to brag about
00:47:25.100 They actually did
00:47:26.220 You know
00:47:26.860 If you rank us
00:47:27.760 According to different metrics
00:47:29.240 With other members
00:47:29.980 Of the G7
00:47:30.680 We look pretty good
00:47:31.720 But they haven't done that
00:47:33.580 And they've left
00:47:34.540 The economic argument
00:47:36.080 Entirely to Polyev
00:47:37.420 And he's taken it
00:47:38.700 And he's run with it
00:47:39.460 And like
00:47:39.900 I think it's now
00:47:40.840 Too late for them
00:47:41.840 To get it back
00:47:42.620 Carl
00:47:43.980 As I mentioned
00:47:44.780 Kind of the
00:47:45.220 The economic reality
00:47:46.220 It's something that
00:47:47.220 Pierre Polyev
00:47:49.140 Has kind of seized upon
00:47:50.200 And has been doing
00:47:51.240 Really well
00:47:51.740 Has been rising in the polls
00:47:52.780 Do you see
00:47:53.700 Any of these news stories
00:47:55.220 You know
00:47:56.200 If it's interest rates
00:47:57.500 Being cut
00:47:58.040 Is there a way
00:47:59.200 For the liberals
00:48:00.160 To regain
00:48:00.980 The economy message
00:48:02.480 Or is it simply
00:48:03.320 Too far gone
00:48:03.960 Do you think
00:48:04.260 At this point
00:48:04.720 Yeah
00:48:06.120 It will be difficult
00:48:07.360 And what doesn't help
00:48:08.880 Is when you have
00:48:09.760 A good news story
00:48:10.580 Like the rate
00:48:11.420 Dropping down
00:48:12.220 And then you take
00:48:14.680 A victory lap
00:48:15.400 You take a victory lap
00:48:16.660 Like Richard Freeland did
00:48:17.760 And other ministers
00:48:18.520 In the government
00:48:19.000 Did this week
00:48:19.780 Well people are at home
00:48:22.000 And they still
00:48:23.660 Have trouble
00:48:24.480 To make ends meet
00:48:25.320 And so they don't
00:48:26.120 They don't compute
00:48:26.840 They don't understand
00:48:27.740 What the government
00:48:28.300 Is saying
00:48:28.900 Because it's not
00:48:30.040 You know
00:48:30.460 It has not changed
00:48:31.120 Their reality overnight
00:48:32.100 So you could
00:48:33.120 You can brag about it
00:48:34.440 You can do that victory lap
00:48:35.840 But the reality
00:48:36.500 Is that you've not been
00:48:37.440 Able to change narrative
00:48:38.520 That one story
00:48:39.560 Will not change it
00:48:40.540 On its own
00:48:41.640 For months
00:48:42.500 If not years
00:48:43.200 So unless
00:48:44.760 There's like
00:48:45.240 Drastic drops
00:48:46.180 Over the next few months
00:48:47.780 People in their daily lives
00:48:50.620 Will not see
00:48:51.480 The effect immediately
00:48:52.560 Because there's
00:48:54.860 There's other factors
00:48:56.560 At play
00:48:57.080 Inflation
00:48:57.740 Has slowed down
00:48:58.780 But it's still up
00:48:59.680 From what it was
00:49:00.360 A couple of years ago
00:49:01.740 And people are
00:49:02.580 People are fully aware
00:49:03.840 Of that
00:49:04.220 And when they hear
00:49:05.500 Christian Freeland
00:49:06.120 Take that victory lap
00:49:07.240 They think
00:49:08.240 Well these guys
00:49:08.880 Are all in touch
00:49:09.540 And we've seen
00:49:11.480 The conservatives
00:49:11.900 Try to stay on
00:49:12.440 That economic message
00:49:13.260 As I've mentioned
00:49:13.820 A couple of times
00:49:14.960 And what I found
00:49:15.600 Interesting this week
00:49:16.640 Was we saw
00:49:17.780 Conservative MP
00:49:18.420 Arnold Vearson
00:49:19.100 Speaking with
00:49:20.000 Nate Herskin-Smith
00:49:20.840 We can talk about
00:49:21.840 That in a second
00:49:22.440 Talk about a wolf
00:49:23.160 In chief's clothing
00:49:23.840 Right
00:49:24.120 And the idea
00:49:24.840 Of what were you
00:49:25.400 Thinking in terms
00:49:26.080 Of walking into
00:49:26.700 This idea
00:49:27.240 Or this interview
00:49:28.220 But the idea
00:49:29.520 That you know
00:49:30.320 That didn't even
00:49:30.900 Resonate very much
00:49:31.840 This week
00:49:32.240 Right
00:49:32.440 Some pretty
00:49:32.880 Radical social opinions
00:49:34.980 In terms of
00:49:35.840 That getting out
00:49:36.720 Something Pierre Pauly
00:49:37.460 Didn't want to deal with
00:49:38.280 But it seems
00:49:39.080 To have had no
00:49:39.680 Resonance at all
00:49:41.040 Warren
00:49:41.320 Do you think
00:49:42.000 That's a sign
00:49:42.820 Of bad things
00:49:44.040 To come for the liberals
00:49:44.760 Oh the evil little elves
00:49:47.200 In the liberal war room
00:49:48.520 Noticed it
00:49:49.180 Believe me
00:49:50.060 They got their scissors out
00:49:52.700 And they clipped it
00:49:53.520 Out of the papers
00:49:54.180 And here's why
00:49:55.160 Because I'm older
00:49:56.640 Than the rest of you
00:49:57.560 You guys are all kids
00:49:58.620 In 2004
00:50:00.400 An MP named
00:50:02.280 Randy White
00:50:03.340 Opined on the exact
00:50:05.620 Same subject
00:50:07.020 Oh we're not worried
00:50:09.020 About the charter
00:50:09.920 We're not worried
00:50:11.000 We're going to deal
00:50:11.720 With gay rights
00:50:12.500 We're going to deal
00:50:13.100 With abortion
00:50:13.720 You know
00:50:14.720 We've got an ability
00:50:15.620 To do what we
00:50:16.360 Really want to do
00:50:17.660 That cost
00:50:19.320 Stephen Harper
00:50:20.400 That election
00:50:21.400 He lost to Paul Martin
00:50:23.120 Because of Randy White
00:50:24.400 So be
00:50:26.080 Under no illusion
00:50:27.780 Whatsoever
00:50:28.420 The liberal war room
00:50:29.860 Notice what this
00:50:30.740 Nobody MP
00:50:31.620 Had to say
00:50:32.460 And are going to
00:50:34.180 Make use of it
00:50:34.800 In the next election
00:50:35.660 100%
00:50:37.220 He definitely
00:50:39.180 Well he
00:50:39.680 He was asking for it
00:50:40.900 In many ways
00:50:41.620 But Carl
00:50:43.120 Are you surprised
00:50:45.580 At all that
00:50:46.160 You know
00:50:46.520 The conservative MP
00:50:47.280 Arnold Viersen here
00:50:48.060 Would even kind of
00:50:49.380 Move forward
00:50:50.000 And put himself
00:50:50.540 In this position
00:50:51.200 Yeah that's very strange
00:50:53.320 And it's like
00:50:54.160 You are not aware
00:50:55.540 Of the political play
00:50:57.920 That's going to
00:50:58.860 Play out
00:50:59.380 Over the next few months
00:51:00.140 Actually he's been
00:51:00.640 Playing out
00:51:01.140 I mean you saw
00:51:01.660 Trudeau going in
00:51:02.580 Alberta
00:51:03.040 Going in New Brunswick
00:51:04.060 To attack
00:51:04.600 Their provincial cousins
00:51:05.940 On these issues
00:51:06.860 It's an Achilles
00:51:08.380 Hill that sunk
00:51:09.400 Aaron O'Toole
00:51:10.180 And Andrew Scheer
00:51:11.240 And Stephen Harper
00:51:13.480 As just mentioned
00:51:14.220 By Warren
00:51:15.420 Like it's the playbook
00:51:17.120 You're not aware
00:51:18.320 Of the playbook
00:51:18.900 What are you doing
00:51:19.420 In politics
00:51:19.920 You should know
00:51:21.840 And the problem
00:51:22.800 For the conservative
00:51:23.480 And for Pierre Poiliev
00:51:24.480 Is that he's not
00:51:25.660 The only one
00:51:26.200 Who thinks like that
00:51:27.040 And says things like that
00:51:28.240 And there will be
00:51:28.740 More people that will
00:51:29.900 Do that over the
00:51:30.680 Next few months
00:51:31.320 And even during
00:51:32.860 The election
00:51:33.280 I'm sure some candidates
00:51:34.320 Will open their mouth
00:51:35.120 About this stuff
00:51:35.760 So the question is
00:51:37.140 Why are these people
00:51:38.320 In that party
00:51:39.480 Why are they allowed
00:51:40.460 To run in that party
00:51:41.420 Well it's because
00:51:42.380 It's because they can
00:51:43.560 Get voters
00:51:44.660 That agree with them
00:51:45.660 To support them
00:51:46.520 And members
00:51:47.660 To secure
00:51:49.320 The nomination meetings
00:51:50.260 It's a big problem
00:51:51.420 For Pierre Poiliev
00:51:52.160 And it could sink him
00:51:53.400 Very fast
00:51:54.420 We've seen it again
00:51:55.500 In the past
00:51:56.200 And Tasha
00:51:57.600 We've kind of been
00:51:58.100 Talking about
00:51:58.460 The political fallout
00:51:59.460 As mentioned
00:51:59.920 You know
00:52:00.380 Poiliev
00:52:00.780 Pretty quick on this
00:52:01.680 To say all the right things
00:52:03.800 In a sense of
00:52:04.740 You know
00:52:05.200 Supporting gay marriage
00:52:06.100 Supporting a woman's
00:52:07.200 Right to choose
00:52:07.700 Kind of quick on this
00:52:08.440 Do you think
00:52:09.440 That this has the ability
00:52:10.780 To hurt him
00:52:11.740 In the long run
00:52:12.340 Or has he done
00:52:13.160 A good enough job
00:52:13.880 To distance himself here
00:52:15.440 I think he squashed it
00:52:18.940 Really quickly
00:52:19.840 And the fact
00:52:20.860 That it sank
00:52:21.760 And disappeared
00:52:22.460 I think has
00:52:23.000 More to do
00:52:23.860 With what else
00:52:24.400 Is going on
00:52:25.080 Which is
00:52:26.240 That people are
00:52:26.900 As we said earlier
00:52:27.620 Really obsessed
00:52:28.340 About the economy
00:52:29.100 And that's really
00:52:29.780 What they're focused on
00:52:30.700 And I think
00:52:31.880 Also
00:52:32.240 The piece
00:52:32.920 Of crying wolf
00:52:34.180 Is starting
00:52:35.020 To happen
00:52:36.140 Because every time
00:52:37.880 To Warren's point
00:52:38.760 This is
00:52:39.080 Issues worked in the past
00:52:40.460 Every time
00:52:41.260 The liberals
00:52:41.680 See an opportunity
00:52:42.300 They trot it out
00:52:43.400 So I think
00:52:44.680 Canadians are kind
00:52:45.560 Of getting weary
00:52:46.140 It's like
00:52:46.460 Oh yeah
00:52:46.920 Okay
00:52:47.340 You're going to
00:52:47.660 Save us again
00:52:48.340 You know
00:52:49.600 This MP
00:52:50.400 Was rapidly
00:52:51.720 Taken to the woodshed
00:52:52.660 He was
00:52:53.340 He was disciplined
00:52:54.140 Quite clearly
00:52:54.900 And he put out
00:52:55.540 A statement
00:52:55.960 That you know
00:52:57.500 Was not written
00:52:58.220 By him
00:52:58.740 Quite frankly
00:52:59.340 It was sent
00:53:00.580 Probably by the
00:53:01.400 Leader of the
00:53:01.760 Opposition's office
00:53:02.360 But you know
00:53:04.040 If you've got
00:53:04.420 More and more
00:53:05.060 Of these
00:53:05.360 Yeah
00:53:05.660 It'll start to stick
00:53:06.460 But I think
00:53:06.840 One guy like this
00:53:07.660 Is not going to do it
00:53:08.540 Yeah again
00:53:09.540 I just think
00:53:10.120 It's fascinating
00:53:10.600 You know
00:53:10.920 You've got
00:53:11.200 Nate Erskine-Smith
00:53:11.940 Who's just
00:53:12.320 You know
00:53:12.600 Come over here
00:53:13.100 And talk into
00:53:13.540 My microphone
00:53:14.060 About social issues
00:53:14.980 And he was just like
00:53:16.520 Yeah
00:53:16.740 That sounds like
00:53:17.360 A great idea
00:53:18.060 He's a neutral
00:53:18.860 Member of the media
00:53:20.320 That guy
00:53:20.780 Yeah
00:53:21.120 Of course
00:53:21.900 Of course
00:53:22.380 Walking into a box
00:53:23.660 Nothing
00:53:24.880 Nothing attached
00:53:25.780 To him at all
00:53:26.320 And last one
00:53:27.300 This week
00:53:27.540 Probably one of
00:53:28.040 The biggest stories
00:53:29.060 Of this week
00:53:29.720 So I want to
00:53:30.360 Give us a little
00:53:31.000 Bit of time here
00:53:31.540 Tasha maybe
00:53:31.940 I'll start with you
00:53:32.460 Because I know
00:53:32.860 You've been writing
00:53:33.400 Extensively about this
00:53:34.580 As well
00:53:35.580 Perhaps not this week
00:53:36.480 But the idea
00:53:37.020 Of foreign interference
00:53:37.960 We've seen this
00:53:38.620 Come to the forefront
00:53:39.700 Again for the liberals
00:53:40.620 So they're blocking
00:53:41.280 Access to about
00:53:42.040 A thousand plus documents
00:53:43.660 On this panel
00:53:44.560 That is overseeing
00:53:45.460 Foreign interference
00:53:46.180 We've also seen
00:53:47.260 The political machinations
00:53:49.560 So the conservatives
00:53:50.340 Trying to use
00:53:51.260 Or trying to get
00:53:52.060 A list of names
00:53:52.880 Of people who
00:53:53.880 Possibly are compromised
00:53:55.200 Here
00:53:55.520 Just what have you
00:53:56.520 Been making of
00:53:57.060 This week's
00:53:57.600 Revelations
00:53:59.360 At these hearings
00:54:00.560 Well I actually
00:54:01.920 Just put out a piece
00:54:02.760 On that exact issue
00:54:04.940 Because I don't think
00:54:06.880 Contrary to what
00:54:08.580 People might think
00:54:09.120 I'll say
00:54:09.420 I don't think
00:54:10.000 Names should be released
00:54:10.980 And the reason for that
00:54:12.360 Is we don't need names
00:54:13.360 We need party action
00:54:15.020 David Vigneault
00:54:16.580 Head of CSIS
00:54:17.200 Was quite eloquent
00:54:18.540 On this
00:54:19.060 In saying that
00:54:19.760 Unless the party leaders
00:54:21.040 Act to ban
00:54:23.500 These MPs
00:54:24.340 Unless there are
00:54:24.840 Consequences
00:54:25.540 They can't run again
00:54:26.700 There will be censure
00:54:27.720 There will be consequences
00:54:28.660 Foreign governments
00:54:30.060 Will be emboldened
00:54:30.820 And MPs will be
00:54:31.880 Also emboldened
00:54:32.620 To continue
00:54:33.160 This kind of behavior
00:54:34.100 So whether the RCMP
00:54:36.120 Does prosecute
00:54:37.240 Everyone or not
00:54:37.920 Is not in the
00:54:38.640 Government's hands
00:54:39.320 It has to happen
00:54:40.560 The RCMP
00:54:41.100 Has to investigate
00:54:42.140 These individuals
00:54:43.500 And see if things
00:54:44.360 Rise to the level
00:54:45.140 Of criminality
00:54:45.820 Of treason
00:54:46.480 And you know
00:54:47.660 That's the worst
00:54:48.420 It can get
00:54:48.940 But really what
00:54:50.700 Has to happen
00:54:51.260 Is the party leaders
00:54:52.060 In my view
00:54:52.680 Should get together
00:54:53.580 And this should be
00:54:54.660 Non-partisan
00:54:55.240 Polyev should get
00:54:56.120 A security clearance
00:54:57.100 You know
00:54:57.500 Get off this
00:54:58.260 This partisan piece
00:54:59.240 Right now
00:54:59.740 This is national security
00:55:01.320 It is bigger
00:55:02.440 Than a party
00:55:03.420 You have to put
00:55:04.260 Country before party
00:55:05.180 On this one
00:55:05.740 And they need to
00:55:06.500 Sit down and say
00:55:07.460 Okay
00:55:07.840 These guys won't
00:55:08.580 Run again
00:55:09.060 And anyone in
00:55:10.380 Cabinet
00:55:10.680 Who's named
00:55:11.520 Or is in that report
00:55:12.660 That person should
00:55:13.560 Be immediately out
00:55:14.340 Because they have
00:55:15.380 Access to very
00:55:16.260 Confidential information
00:55:17.240 And they should not
00:55:17.820 Have it
00:55:18.200 Warren when we
00:55:20.680 Talk about the names
00:55:21.540 I think everybody
00:55:22.300 Can understand
00:55:22.840 Why names
00:55:24.260 Wouldn't be released
00:55:24.960 Or why they
00:55:25.360 Aren't being released
00:55:26.140 But is this a good
00:55:27.400 Political attack
00:55:28.840 For the conservatives
00:55:29.480 To keep hitting on
00:55:30.340 A message obviously
00:55:31.400 That has been
00:55:32.080 Hurting the liberals
00:55:32.740 This topic of
00:55:33.640 Foreign interference
00:55:34.300 No sorry guys
00:55:35.820 I totally
00:55:36.520 Totally do not
00:55:37.720 Understand why
00:55:38.680 Names are not
00:55:39.400 Being released
00:55:40.140 I completely
00:55:41.100 Disagree with my
00:55:42.100 Friend
00:55:42.480 We're talking
00:55:44.540 About members
00:55:45.600 Of parliament
00:55:46.560 Who colluded
00:55:47.820 And conspired
00:55:48.860 With enemies
00:55:49.420 Of this country
00:55:50.260 Like until
00:55:52.120 1998
00:55:53.240 That was an
00:55:54.580 Offence punishable
00:55:55.920 In Canada
00:55:56.800 By capital
00:55:57.840 Punishment
00:55:58.500 That's how
00:55:59.820 Seriously
00:56:00.500 We regard it
00:56:01.640 And like
00:56:02.240 People are
00:56:03.820 Actually saying
00:56:04.660 We shouldn't
00:56:05.300 Know who
00:56:05.960 Did this
00:56:06.780 And they're
00:56:07.700 Sitting in
00:56:08.220 Parliament
00:56:08.620 They may be
00:56:09.480 In cabinet
00:56:10.120 They may be
00:56:11.080 Affecting decisions
00:56:12.140 That the country
00:56:12.960 Is making
00:56:13.660 In respect of
00:56:14.980 These foreign
00:56:15.780 Hostilities
00:56:17.540 And these
00:56:18.120 Hostile foreign
00:56:19.000 Nations
00:56:19.440 Like I'm
00:56:20.520 Sorry
00:56:20.780 That's crazy
00:56:21.680 We need to
00:56:22.480 Know who
00:56:22.860 They are
00:56:23.280 This is among
00:56:24.360 The most
00:56:24.720 Serious crimes
00:56:25.740 That we've
00:56:26.160 Got in this
00:56:26.720 Country still
00:56:27.660 Which is
00:56:28.460 Treason
00:56:29.000 This is
00:56:29.840 Treason
00:56:30.240 Against the
00:56:30.760 Country
00:56:31.100 And we are
00:56:31.980 Entitled to
00:56:32.540 Know as
00:56:33.000 Every single
00:56:33.900 Newspaper in
00:56:34.720 This country
00:56:35.240 Is editorialized
00:56:36.420 We are
00:56:37.140 Entitled to
00:56:37.880 Know we
00:56:38.320 Have to
00:56:38.980 Know who
00:56:40.020 They are
00:56:40.840 Yeah all
00:56:42.820 Fair points
00:56:43.440 In many
00:56:44.140 Senses I
00:56:44.700 Think from
00:56:45.160 What I've
00:56:45.460 Heard on
00:56:45.780 The other
00:56:46.700 Side is
00:56:47.340 People concerned
00:56:48.000 About you
00:56:48.360 Know the
00:56:48.580 Piling on
00:56:49.360 You know this
00:56:49.900 Isn't you
00:56:50.640 Know all
00:56:51.260 Allegations
00:56:52.040 Until it's
00:56:52.700 Been proven
00:56:53.220 Carl what do
00:56:54.160 You think
00:56:54.400 About this
00:56:54.840 Well I mean
00:56:56.500 Yeah you
00:56:57.280 Don't want to
00:56:57.700 Fall at the
00:56:58.660 Level of
00:56:59.180 McCarty
00:57:00.100 And McCartyism
00:57:01.700 And witch
00:57:02.200 Hunt and
00:57:02.720 Go after
00:57:03.360 People that
00:57:04.000 Don't deserve
00:57:04.440 To be gone
00:57:04.900 After but
00:57:05.940 The reality
00:57:06.400 Is that if
00:57:07.400 There are
00:57:07.680 Spies and
00:57:08.260 Traitors walking
00:57:09.080 In parliament
00:57:09.620 We shouldn't
00:57:10.740 Know about
00:57:11.180 It and
00:57:11.520 Voters
00:57:11.840 Shouldn't
00:57:12.100 Know who
00:57:12.380 They are
00:57:12.760 So they
00:57:13.220 Don't vote
00:57:13.560 For them
00:57:13.880 Again at
00:57:14.460 Least at
00:57:14.920 The very
00:57:15.260 Least but
00:57:16.500 The truth
00:57:16.880 Is that
00:57:17.440 You know
00:57:18.140 The government
00:57:18.980 And the
00:57:20.860 Other parties
00:57:21.500 To be fair
00:57:22.100 Especially the
00:57:22.820 Conservatives
00:57:23.280 Don't want to
00:57:24.820 Be guilty by
00:57:25.540 Association because
00:57:26.560 They are people
00:57:27.300 And I don't
00:57:28.400 Know if it's
00:57:28.820 In all the
00:57:29.420 Parties but
00:57:29.880 I'm sure in
00:57:30.520 Both main
00:57:31.620 Parties that
00:57:32.680 Have done
00:57:33.420 What's been
00:57:34.360 What's been
00:57:35.040 Reported and
00:57:36.400 Talk to
00:57:37.040 Foreign powers
00:57:37.820 Sometimes
00:57:39.240 New England
00:57:39.580 Sometimes not
00:57:40.260 At the
00:57:40.960 Same time
00:57:41.520 There are
00:57:41.980 Also precedent
00:57:42.800 In this
00:57:43.200 Country about
00:57:43.940 Members of
00:57:45.020 Parliament being
00:57:46.300 Found guilty
00:57:47.540 By parliament
00:57:48.340 Of spying for
00:57:49.580 Other countries
00:57:50.140 Fred Rose was
00:57:51.040 A quebec
00:57:51.480 MP and he
00:57:52.720 Was expelled
00:57:53.300 For being
00:57:54.280 You know
00:57:54.740 Because he
00:57:55.500 Was accused
00:57:55.880 Of being a
00:57:56.300 Spy for the
00:57:56.720 Soviet Union
00:57:57.200 In the
00:57:57.520 Forties
00:57:57.920 It's
00:57:58.540 Happened in
00:57:58.960 The past
00:57:59.420 The fact
00:58:00.260 That
00:58:00.600 The government
00:58:01.800 Is
00:58:02.320 Kind of
00:58:03.380 Feel like
00:58:03.880 There's a bit
00:58:05.360 Of a
00:58:05.580 Laissez-faire
00:58:06.100 Attitude
00:58:06.540 Towards that
00:58:07.300 And well
00:58:07.860 It's up to
00:58:08.240 The RCMP
00:58:08.920 Well I don't
00:58:09.760 Think that's
00:58:10.200 Good enough
00:58:10.620 For voters
00:58:11.140 Now do
00:58:11.760 People care
00:58:12.380 Do voters
00:58:12.900 Actually care
00:58:13.560 About that
00:58:14.060 Well the
00:58:15.120 Foreign
00:58:15.340 Interference
00:58:15.860 Story has
00:58:16.760 Been going
00:58:17.080 On for
00:58:17.540 Years now
00:58:18.640 And you
00:58:19.760 Know it's
00:58:20.200 Been hurting
00:58:20.660 The political
00:58:21.100 Narrative
00:58:21.780 But has it
00:58:22.340 Been really
00:58:22.760 Earning the
00:58:23.180 Liberals in
00:58:23.560 The polls
00:58:23.880 I'm not
00:58:24.200 So sure
00:58:24.840 Go ahead
00:58:26.560 Yeah go
00:58:26.920 Ahead
00:58:27.120 Tasha
00:58:27.400 I will
00:58:27.700 Just say
00:58:28.040 Look
00:58:28.240 Warren I
00:58:29.700 Get it
00:58:29.980 Someone's
00:58:30.260 Committed
00:58:30.480 Treason
00:58:30.900 They shouldn't
00:58:31.400 Run again
00:58:31.800 But the
00:58:32.180 Point is
00:58:32.500 None of
00:58:32.780 These
00:58:32.880 Individuals
00:58:33.380 Have been
00:58:33.600 Charged
00:58:34.040 None of
00:58:34.760 Them
00:58:34.880 Have
00:58:35.120 And I
00:58:36.260 Am
00:58:36.720 Firmly
00:58:37.280 Let's
00:58:38.780 Charge
00:58:40.280 Them
00:58:40.460 You can't
00:58:40.940 Tell the
00:58:41.260 RCMP
00:58:41.600 In order
00:58:42.240 To do
00:58:42.720 That
00:58:42.940 No
00:58:45.380 One at a
00:58:46.440 Time
00:58:46.580 One at a
00:58:46.900 Time
00:58:47.000 One at a
00:58:47.280 Time
00:58:47.440 The
00:58:48.440 RCMP
00:58:48.820 Would have
00:58:49.200 This
00:58:49.360 Information
00:58:49.860 They have
00:58:50.960 To prosecute
00:58:51.760 The party's
00:58:52.700 Responsibility
00:58:53.280 Right now
00:58:53.720 Is to
00:58:54.160 Prevent
00:58:54.600 These
00:58:54.800 Individuals
00:58:55.260 From
00:58:55.380 Running
00:58:55.560 Again
00:58:55.760 I agree
00:58:56.100 The
00:58:56.260 Liberals
00:58:56.520 Are dragging
00:58:56.860 Their feet
00:58:57.260 And they're
00:58:57.720 Obfuscating
00:58:58.480 Because their
00:58:58.920 People are
00:58:59.440 In there
00:58:59.720 And they
00:59:00.080 Know it
00:59:00.620 And they
00:59:01.660 Have got
00:59:02.120 To get
00:59:02.460 Off that
00:59:02.840 The only
00:59:03.420 Way to
00:59:03.700 Do that
00:59:03.980 Is for
00:59:04.260 The opposition
00:59:04.760 Party
00:59:05.040 To force
00:59:05.560 Them
00:59:05.800 Make it
00:59:06.320 A
00:59:06.420 Confidence
00:59:06.800 Motion
00:59:07.160 Gotta
00:59:07.560 Sit down
00:59:08.040 And get
00:59:08.280 Rid of
00:59:08.520 These
00:59:08.640 People
00:59:08.900 All parties
00:59:09.520 Together
00:59:09.900 But probably
00:59:10.800 Everything of
00:59:11.440 Not looking
00:59:12.000 At the
00:59:12.220 Report
00:59:12.560 Because I
00:59:12.900 Don't
00:59:13.060 Want to
00:59:13.300 Be
00:59:13.520 Muzzled
00:59:14.280 Is
00:59:14.480 Ridiculous
00:59:15.100 That's
00:59:15.620 Got to
00:59:15.840 Stop
00:59:16.160 He's
00:59:16.440 Got to
00:59:16.720 You know
00:59:17.160 Act the
00:59:17.680 Big boy
00:59:18.120 And be
00:59:18.460 A statesman
00:59:18.960 Take the
00:59:19.360 Lead
00:59:19.620 He could
00:59:20.240 He could
00:59:20.540 Score
00:59:20.800 More points
00:59:21.280 Doing that
00:59:21.820 Than what
00:59:22.260 He's
00:59:22.380 Doing now
00:59:22.760 Warren
00:59:23.160 End this
00:59:23.520 With a
00:59:23.700 Kill shot
00:59:24.140 Like I'm
00:59:25.100 Sorry
00:59:25.420 Traitors in
00:59:26.340 The house
00:59:26.680 Of commons
00:59:27.360 Let's
00:59:27.900 Keep them
00:59:28.280 Anonymous
00:59:28.760 Like
00:59:29.440 Seriously
00:59:30.000 You don't
00:59:30.560 Know
00:59:30.860 That is
00:59:31.820 Tasha
00:59:32.600 That is
00:59:34.020 What you
00:59:34.420 Said
00:59:34.780 That is
00:59:35.840 That is
00:59:38.900 If we
00:59:39.380 Have people
00:59:40.100 Who have
00:59:40.620 Committed
00:59:40.980 Treason
