00:00:00.000 It's the KinsellaCast, starring Warren Kinsella.
00:00:17.180 Hey, it's Warren. Welcome to the KinsellaCast, and welcome to an earlier release of Self-Same
00:00:23.600 podcast, because all of us have had our weekend scrambled by the decision of the Trump administration
00:00:32.340 to go after us with tariffs, not just rhetoric. So we're still trying to figure all that out.
00:00:38.860 So I've spoken to people earlier, but still have a good show for you. So Brian Lilley and I talking
00:00:44.140 about that, implications of that, where we're going to start to see evidence of the impact of
00:00:50.500 the tariffs, John Raz, talking about the political impact. And then Ben Moroney, Adam Zivo and
00:00:57.420 I, Candace Bergen, but also Derek Burney. Derek Burney, it was interesting. Ben asked Burney
00:01:03.880 about something I said. I'm going to play you what I said. And Burney agreed with me. So
00:01:10.360 we'll put that at the, towards the back end of the show. And I've got music. I don't know
00:01:16.200 what it is. I'd like, I'm in Australian kind of surf punk these days, but I am. I've got
00:01:22.880 Tired Lion, Australian band from Perth, been around since 2010. With or Without is the name
00:01:29.040 of the tune. Kick things off. Violent Soho from Brisbane. Jesus Stole My Girlfriend. Pretty
00:01:36.240 funny tune. The Moving Stills from New South Wales. They're very surfy with a song called 19.
00:01:42.500 Dear Seattle. Also from New South Wales. The tune called Daytime TV. And then this band
00:01:48.760 called the Hot Nasties. And I was thinking, I need a song that talks about Canada being
00:01:55.720 under attack. When was the last time Canada was under attack? Has anybody written a song
00:02:00.480 about that? And then I remember, yeah. Pierre and I did when we were 15 about the October
00:02:06.480 crisis. So I've got the Hot Nasties, our band playing the October 7-0 at the tail end of
00:02:13.200 the show. And hopefully you get a kick out of that or not. So the tariffs are here. How did
00:02:23.520 we get here? Simple. We, all of us, under successive governments of different political stripes, allowed
00:02:31.360 our trade with the United States to balloon to 80% of what we export. That was a critical
00:02:38.220 mistake. And all of us went along with it. And it's a mistake that has left us too vulnerable
00:02:43.120 to the whims of our biggest customer, which is never a good strategy. Canadians who have been
00:02:49.680 justifying Donald Trump's bogus bullshit pretexts for imposing these crippling tariffs aren't very
00:02:56.960 good strategists either. They've been dutifully dancing to Trump's tune, just like he wanted us
00:03:02.520 to. And so this newly returned US president exaggerated, actually fabricated the fentanyl and
00:03:09.320 illegal migrant threats. So he couldn't be accused of violating the very trade agreement he himself
00:03:15.240 signed with Canada and Mexico in his first term. His fentanyl and illegal border crossing claims were
00:03:22.040 bullshit. And they were pretext to get him out of the USMCA obligations he had. Nothing more,
00:03:28.680 nothing less. But anyway, that doesn't matter anymore. What matters is changing course because
00:03:33.440 the tariffs have arrived. And they're making us less dependent on trade with the US. What matters
00:03:39.300 is getting national leadership to guide us through that and the difficult years ahead. What matters now
00:03:46.160 is linking arms with those who support Canada and building new alliances, economic
00:03:51.880 and otherwise. Because the United States, right, finding those allies, pretty hard to do. Like
00:03:58.180 lots of Canadians, I think, I felt when this stuff started to be talked about, I thought most Americans
00:04:07.140 would rally to our side. You know, when he started talking about using economic force against us to
00:04:13.000 make us the 51st state, like some of us thought the majority of Americans would object. You know, for
00:04:18.220 example, when he published maps, like the anti-Semites and the pro-Hamas people do with Israel,
00:04:25.060 you know, publishing maps in which we don't exist anymore, from sea to sea. Anyway, that hasn't
00:04:31.040 happened for the most part. And few Americans have spoken up for Canada. And social media, for sure,
00:04:37.520 there have been a few voices opposing Trump's plans to annex Canada. There's a Republicans against Trump
00:04:44.500 group on X. And they tweeted that his claims about us were false. Quote, all Canadian leaders from
00:04:54.400 right to left oppose this idea. According to a recent poll, 82% of Canadians are against joining
00:04:59.980 the US, end quote. Lieutenant Governor, I guess they say Lieutenant Governor down there, Danny Heck in
00:05:06.280 Washington State said, quote, Canada is not our 51st state. They are our neighbor. They're one of our
00:05:13.380 largest trading partners, our ally, having fought alongside us in every war, and our friend, a
00:05:19.300 friendship built on shared values and a commitment to democracy, end quote. Brian Krasenstein, who
00:05:25.980 is a social media friend of mine and an influential podcaster, said, quote, Canada has been one of our
00:05:34.760 closest allies, a key trade partner, shares countless common interests with us. This isn't
00:05:40.260 diplomacy. It's a cringeworthy display of ego, masquerading as leadership, end quote, here, here.
00:05:47.180 Bruce Heyman, who was the US ambassador to Canada from 2014 to 2017, he told the Canadian journalist
00:05:54.340 that as an American, I hate this, Gretchen Whitmer, governor of Michigan, she was also impressed by it.
00:06:01.580 I'll say, this isn't how you treat friends. And she said, quote, I'm not opposed to tariffs outright,
00:06:05.600 but we can't treat them like a one size fits all solution. We certainly shouldn't use them
00:06:10.400 to punish our closest trading partners, end quote. An American journalist, Aaron Rupar, who I follow,
00:06:17.100 he's got nearly a million followers on X alone, and he had the best and the pithiest take, I think.
00:06:23.360 I'm sorry, Canada. Elsewhere, though, American allies have been few and far between. Like,
00:06:29.620 even, as Brian Lilly and I talk about on this week's show, Senator Bernie Sanders, when asked
00:06:35.540 about Trump's expansionism, said he was all for it. That's a quote, all for it, because he believed
00:06:41.260 that it would get America universal health care, like Canada has. And he's wrong, of course. We'd get
00:06:47.100 their system, not the other way around. Other Americans, including elected ones, have been
00:06:52.580 openly hostile. Texan Republican Congressman Brandon Gill, quote, listen, I think that the people of
00:07:00.880 Canada, for that matter, should be honored that President Trump wants to bring their territory
00:07:05.220 under the American fold, end quote. Well, fuck you, Mr. Gill. Similarly, Utah Senator Mike Lee
00:07:11.860 said that the U.S. should take over Alberta and leave the rest. Fuck you, Mike. And the game show host
00:07:18.120 and boating enthusiast Kevin O'Leary, who professes to be a Canadian from his perch in a mansion in
00:07:24.080 Boston, has done the media circuit to defend Trump's aggression. And O'Leary, who is unilaterally
00:07:31.080 appointed himself Canada's ambassador to Mar-a-Lago, says, quote, what has caught the imagination
00:07:37.240 of Canadians is an economic union beyond what we have now, end quote, which is bullshit, which
00:07:42.800 is a lie. Multiple polls have been conducted up here in the Great White North since Trump started
00:07:47.720 going on about taking us over. And all have found more than 90% on the right and the left, from
00:07:54.140 Pierre Polyev to Justin Trudeau, strongly oppose this so-called idea. But for those of us casting our
00:08:00.600 eyes down south to see if any of our allies will step up to a microphone and defend us, it ain't
00:08:06.520 happening. We're on our own, folks. Time to get ready.
00:08:12.980 Why are we here? Where do we belong? Everyone is a walking ghost. The people of love. And I have my drink.
00:08:24.020 And I think I'll get it right this week. Why are we here? Where do we go? Caught by the feeling that we know. Take me. Take me. Take me to the home. Take me.
00:08:40.020 away. Take me. Take me away.
00:08:58.440 away. I wish you. I'll be here. Come on, damn. I'll be there for you now.
00:09:12.440 Why are we here? Where do we go? Caught by the feeling that we know. Take me. Take me to my home. Take me.
00:09:25.440 hey.
00:09:27.380 hell

00:11:02.320 I'll be there for you
00:11:17.600 Oh, yeah, oh, you
00:11:24.880 Oh, yeah, oh, you
00:11:32.880 And we're back on an extraordinary day with my friend Brian Lilly, my colleague Brian Lilly.
00:11:46.720 But Brian, before we get started, I wanted to play a clip that both you and I have seen in the past 48 hours and have sent out to our readers and followers.
00:11:55.800 And it's a clip by Ronald Reagan, former U.S. President, Republican, talking about trading partners of the United States of America.
00:12:05.240 So let's just play that clip right now of President Reagan.
00:12:09.020 Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies.
00:12:12.320 They are our allies.
00:12:14.020 We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world, all while cynically waving the American flag.
00:12:26.820 The expansion of the international economy is not a foreign invasion, it is an American triumph, one we worked hard to achieve, and something central to our vision of a peaceful and prosperous world of freedom.
00:12:41.080 After the Second World War, America led the way to dismantle trade barriers and create a world trading system that set the stage for decades of unparalleled economic growth.
00:12:51.460 Yes, back in 1776, our founding fathers believed that free trade was worth fighting for, and we can celebrate their victory, because today, trade is at the core of the alliance that secure the peace and guarantee our freedom.
00:13:08.880 It is the source of our prosperity and the path to an even brighter future for America.
00:13:15.340 Until next week, thanks for listening, and God bless you.
00:13:19.920 All right, so that was Ronald Reagan talking about trading partners and allies.
00:13:27.100 Brian, what do you think about what President Reagan said?
00:13:31.800 Well, I think it was very smart, but it's from a bygone era, unfortunately.
00:13:38.020 You know, at that point, Reagan was fighting protectionists primarily within the Democratic Party, but some within his own party, as he was expanding free trade with Canada and other nations.
00:13:48.520 And eventually, what Reagan put forward there and his free trading viewpoint became the Washington consensus.
00:14:00.340 You know, Bill Clinton's view on trade, despite being a Democrat, was not really any different than Ronald Reagan's.
00:14:08.840 But then things changed, you know, I think partly fundamentally, it's, you know, bringing China into the WTO, which Clinton did in, I think, 97, and everyone thought was a great idea.
00:14:23.940 Bipartisan support on China, well, China's been a bad actor on trade.
00:14:29.700 And just thinking about it now, if we want to go back to the roots of why Canada's in this position that we are now, it would be to blame China.
00:14:37.040 Because of how they have been accepted into the world trading systems built up after World War II, but then have abused them for their own benefit.
00:14:48.040 And they don't play by the rules.
00:14:50.580 And so it's upended everything.
00:14:52.680 Well, explain, but explain, if I can just jump in, explain then to people who don't follow this stuff as closely as you do, how is it that Canada gets hit with 25% tariff, and China only gets hit with 10%?
00:15:07.240 That I couldn't tell you, other than, I don't know, the goods from China are lower value.
00:15:17.840 They're the things that Americans rely on, buying at Walmart, at Target, your everyday items, so much of that.
00:15:26.940 That's the only thing I can think of.
00:15:28.700 I don't know if that is what their suggestion is.
00:15:32.260 And there's no doubt that, you know, whatever is going on with cross-border fentanyl trade between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, that the origin of it all traces back to China.
00:15:45.860 And they are the worst player in that.
00:15:48.040 Exactly.
00:15:48.820 So, look, I don't get it, and I'm not going to try to explain.
00:15:53.400 But my point on Reagan is that that viewpoint is gone.
00:15:57.800 And it's not just gone in the Republican Party, although there's still people like Rand Paul who were expressing similar sentiments.
00:16:05.680 But, you know, just like there was a consensus against tariffs, that's gone.
00:16:11.820 Like, even Bernie Sanders was saying he was fine with the tariffs that Trump's going to put in.
00:16:15.520 So, we're in a very different era right now, and my worry is that because we did take the relationship for granted, and I remember speaking with Democrats about the Trudeau guys getting blindsided by some of Biden's protectionist moves.
00:16:39.380 They said, well, once Trump was gone and Biden came in, they just kind of took everything for granted.
00:16:45.600 We've taken the U.S. for granted on a lot, and we just assume it's on cruise control.
00:16:51.320 And I don't think that our diplomats or our politicians understand what's this fundamental change in attitude in Washington.
00:17:04.500 I don't think they get it, and that's leaving us in a really bad position.
00:17:07.860 If they understood it, great.
00:17:09.420 Stephen Taylor, conservative activist, pointed out something that I think is very accurate, that the Trudeau guys have zero insight into Trump's Republican Party.
00:17:21.680 And, like, Trump's not a Republican, he's not a Democrat, or he's not a conservative, but he does control the Republican Party now.
00:17:28.660 But let's explore that.
00:17:29.580 And, like, they know fewer people than folks like Stephen and I who go down to CPAC every couple of years, the Conservative Political Action Committee.
00:17:39.080 They just have zero insight into that world.
00:17:41.800 But free trade is a conservative principle.
00:17:44.980 Every conservative I've known, you know, I grew up in Alberta.
00:17:47.900 Free trade is conservative first.
00:17:50.260 And, like, how is it that this man, this president, can turn his back on the principles of free trade, not just with us.
00:17:58.540 He's talking about doing it with the EU and Mexico, like, with allies.
00:18:03.080 How can he do this and call himself a conservative?
00:18:06.440 Well, he's not a conservative.
00:18:09.440 And, by the way, the first Canadian prime minister to run an election on free trade with the Americans was one Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
00:18:15.720 I believe if you look up on the record, I might be wrong, but I think if you look up on the record, he was a liberal.
00:18:22.660 Yeah.
00:18:23.220 Yep.
00:18:24.000 He sure was.
00:18:25.400 Where do you—
00:18:25.800 Look, that's gone back and forth.
00:18:27.400 But the reason that Trump is making so many of these moves, I alluded to it earlier, comes back to China.
00:18:35.700 He's trying to rework the global trading order in favor of the United States.
00:18:44.680 China's making all kinds of moves.
00:18:46.600 You want to know why he's trying to take back the Panama Canal?
00:18:50.420 Because China's trying to control it by stealth or other means.
00:18:54.840 Well, why not go after China then?
00:18:56.400 Like, that doesn't make any sense to me.
00:18:57.960 Like, why not go after China with the 25%?
00:19:00.480 Well, I think the 10% tariffs are on top of the tariffs that he put in last time that Biden left in place.
00:19:07.420 So China's already been hit by tariffs in 2018.
00:19:10.960 We just got the steel and aluminum back then.
00:19:13.580 They got across-the-board tariffs.
00:19:15.380 And you know what they did?
00:19:16.680 They both subsidized their producers and exporters to keep prices as they were.
00:19:21.900 And they devalued their currency.
00:19:26.220 I'm really hoping, with the dollar sitting at 68 cents right now against the U.S. dollar,
00:19:32.560 that we don't go down to the dark days of 61, 60 cents a U.S. dollar.
00:19:38.120 That would make everything else expensive.
00:19:40.580 Speaking of that, a quick aside.
00:19:42.260 We don't have to get too deep into it.
00:19:43.620 So Mark Carney releases his plan for replacing the carbon tax.
00:19:48.820 And part of it is a carbon leakage border adjustment.
00:19:53.940 What does that mean?
00:19:54.900 I don't want to talk about-
00:19:56.440 You want the carbon tax on every import.
00:19:58.440 I don't want to talk about Mark Carney or the carbon tax.
00:20:00.680 I want to talk about where this thing is going.
00:20:03.120 Because you've got lots of contacts in the United States.
00:20:05.340 You've got lots of contacts in Ottawa.
00:20:07.280 Where do the experts, because you speak to people who are elected and not elected,
00:20:12.980 where do the experts think that this decision today of the Trump administration,
00:20:18.480 where are we going to see the impact first?
00:20:21.220 Where is it going to be immediate?
00:20:24.340 I think the biggest one would be the auto sector,
00:20:27.200 just because of its size and how often parts go back and forth across the border.
00:20:31.900 However, this is not-
00:20:34.200 I mean, Howard Lutnick, who was before the Senate Commerce Committee this week,
00:20:38.580 stated clearly that he said the 25% tariffs were just about the border,
00:20:44.680 about fentanyl, about illegal immigration.
00:20:46.780 You can believe that those things exist or not.
00:20:49.780 That's what they're saying.
00:20:51.420 And he said, but even if we take care of that,
00:20:54.140 we're going to face sectoral tariffs on things like auto parts.
00:20:58.680 Why?
00:20:59.720 Lutnick was clear.
00:21:00.600 He wants to move production to the United States.
00:21:04.060 So, you know, even if we get past these 25% tariffs,
00:21:10.300 and, you know, we show that we're dealing with the Mexican drug cartels,
00:21:14.420 which have moved into Canada.
00:21:15.920 They're in the GTA, highly present in Calgary,
00:21:19.160 highly present in British Columbia, Montreal.
00:21:23.340 Let's say we deal with that.
00:21:27.020 And they lift the 25% tariffs.
00:21:29.260 Well, then we're going to get lower tariffs like China and other countries on things like auto parts.
00:21:36.020 Maybe we'll get the 10% tariffs like the oil industry is going to get.
00:21:40.920 Yeah, but I'm confused.
00:21:42.300 Lutnick is saying, you know, we're going to get them no matter what.
00:21:45.740 Trump's saying it has to do with fentanyl, 98% of which is produced, precursors and the product is produced in China and brought in by Americans.
00:21:54.620 Leave that aside.
00:21:56.220 Like, Lutnick, I felt, who's the, just so everybody knows, he's the Commerce Secretary for Trump,
00:22:01.540 was at least honest and said, well, sorry guys.
00:22:05.540 Basically, there's not much you can do that's going to meaningfully change any of this stuff.
00:22:09.820 Well, so instead of 25%, we'll get 10%.
00:22:12.760 Exactly.
00:22:13.240 And he disputes the idea that it's inflationary.
00:22:18.960 And whether it's Howard Lutnick or Stefan Moran or Robert Lighthizer or Peter Navarro,
00:22:26.960 these are the people advising Trump economically.
00:22:29.300 And they believe in tariffs as an economic and a, here's the term Stefan Moran uses in his 41-page paper.
00:22:39.500 He's the head of Hudson Capital.
00:22:42.680 Geoeconomics.
00:22:43.340 They want to use economic might rather than military might to adjust the world to their liking and in favor of the United States.
00:22:52.880 Which is being honest, because I think that's always what it was.
00:22:56.520 Because I never believed it had to do with fentanyl or illegal aliens.
00:22:59.980 So, if it's that, doesn't it have, because you're a student of politics more than anybody I know,
00:23:06.320 if that is your focus, doesn't that kind of persuade the people who you're attacking, Mexico and China and the EU,
00:23:14.440 to form a union of their own to resist that?
00:23:17.600 Like, isn't this pushing us into trade and political relationships more than what we've got with the rest of the world?
00:23:23.360 I mean, maybe with other countries, but, you know, I've seen some Canadian political commentators saying,
00:23:31.100 great, we should just bring in all the Chinese EVs we can get.
00:23:33.820 Yeah, I've seen the same thing.
00:23:35.060 I mean, just, okay, let's just make all our auto workers unemployed, because China will never invest in a plant here.
00:23:41.740 No.
00:23:41.940 So, if we end up with 10% tariffs on auto parts, we can live with that.
00:23:48.640 We absolutely can.
00:23:50.680 So, and still be successful.
00:23:54.260 Prices will still go up, right?
00:23:56.940 I mean, prices will still go up, but not as much as they're going to with what we're facing now.
00:24:02.640 Yeah, and look, part of what we have to do, you know, compare the Canada-U.S. relationship to a marriage.
00:24:11.940 Sometimes, you know, you're in a marriage, you're in a long-term relationship, you've got to do stuff you don't like.
00:24:18.180 You've got to watch a rom-com when you'd rather be watching football.
00:24:22.760 You've got to go to a restaurant that you, oh, I don't really like that one.
00:24:26.860 I know you love it.
00:24:27.760 Okay, we'll go there.
00:24:28.640 You've got to make compromises, and immediately after USMCA was signed, the Americans ended up, under Biden, not Trump, under Biden, ended up filing two trade panels against us, one on dairy and one on auto parts.
00:24:48.520 And on dairy, they said, wait a minute, we had an agreement, and you've changed the rules so that half a billion dollars of Wisconsin milk that was being used in cheese production, not, you know, going in the milk that you and I probably put on the table, half a billion of this per year is now being blocked.
00:25:06.460 And that really pisses us off.
00:25:08.560 And then they say on the auto parts, well, I thought we agreed to a more restrictive idea of what was a North American-made part, and you and Mexico are putting more Chinese and export parts into your parts.
00:25:27.600 And we fought them on these.
00:25:57.600 Absolutely anything, even if it was with an agreement.
00:26:00.680 So we lost on that one at the panel.
00:26:03.600 But why wouldn't, on the auto parts, why wouldn't we want to make sure that there's more Canadian steel or aluminum in it instead of Chinese?
00:26:11.040 So sometimes you've got to make these compromises, and these small compromises would benefit the larger economy.
00:26:20.000 When you hear Trump say Canada's treated as awfully on trade, these are the types of things that he's talking about, things that were irritants to the Biden administration.
00:26:27.900 But now we're not dealing with Joe Biden.
00:26:30.660 No.
00:26:31.080 We're dealing with an angry man.
00:26:33.340 And maybe we should have taken the L on those two and not be facing these tariffs.
00:26:39.900 You know, at some point, we will have to negotiate our way out of this.
00:26:44.200 I know I'm being accused of capitulating to the U.S. and not being on Team Canada by people who, by the way, have been undermining the Canadian oil industry.
00:26:54.460 Hello, Tim Gray.
00:26:55.460 For a decade, trying to shut down production.
00:26:57.780 But, you know, sometimes you've got to give a little to get a lot.
00:27:02.900 And I think we're giving up a lot to keep a little.
00:27:06.140 You know, cutting off your nose to spite your face sort of stuff is what's happening right now.
00:27:10.380 And I think sometimes it's just dumb politics.
00:27:15.180 Well, you know, my view, as you know, is that you are an honest person.
00:27:19.580 And when you say, when somebody says to you, here's my issue, you take it at face value and deal with that.
00:27:25.880 And I've never felt in fentanyl and illegal aliens what this is about.
00:27:29.040 It's about what you pointed out a couple of minutes ago, which is reordering, you know, the political structure of the world.
00:27:36.560 If I can just tell you, I've been searching all afternoon for any evidence on the fentanyl.
00:27:42.960 And I can't find any.
00:27:44.000 Now, like I've searched DEA news releases and reports and State Department stuff, and I can't find it.
00:27:51.160 But on the illegal migrants, which Trump doesn't talk about as much, I've said to you before, and the numbers are there, we're a growing problem.
00:27:59.240 So we've got to fix that.
00:28:00.480 It's mainly, you know, this stupid international student thing that we set up where we brought in like 1.6 million people.
00:28:08.520 And we brought in all these people.
00:28:10.120 The majority of them, or the largest group anyway, came from India.
00:28:14.420 You're allowed a student visa.
00:28:16.380 And then 43,000 of them immediately went to the U.S. last year and declared asylum.
00:28:21.820 Yeah.
00:28:22.720 That's like, you know, Trudeau keeps saying we're less than 1% of the problem.
00:28:27.720 You look at the American numbers, which they publish, we're 7%.
00:28:30.960 And deal with the issues at hand.
00:28:35.300 And that is not capitulation.
00:28:37.180 That is being a good partner.
00:28:39.020 And we can, by the way, go back to them and say, all right, now you've got to help us with the illegal guns coming in.
00:28:44.800 You've got to do something on that.
00:28:46.520 And here's our issues.
00:28:48.020 But if we're not dealing with their issues, they're not going to deal with ours.
00:28:51.480 Yeah.
00:28:52.100 Again, I just think you're a good guy.
00:28:53.860 And you believe if we deal with that 7%, they're actually going to move on that?
00:28:58.980 I've never believed they were going to move on that.
00:29:00.820 I've got Derek Burney on from the rest of the show, where he agrees with me that this was always just a pretext to get out of the USMCA.
00:29:08.500 But final question.
00:29:10.220 Okay.
00:29:10.780 Political impact of all of this stuff.
00:29:13.000 Just very quickly, do the merry-go-round here.
00:29:17.320 We've got an Ontario election going on now.
00:29:19.480 We've got a liberal leadership race going on now.
00:29:21.540 Who wins with this stuff?
00:29:23.760 Who loses?
00:29:24.540 Or does everybody lose?
00:29:26.680 Well, we're all going to lose.
00:29:29.080 You know, this is not catastrophe.
00:29:31.320 Let's just be clear about that.
00:29:33.040 It's going to hurt, but it's not end-of-the-world stuff.
00:29:38.020 Ontario election, Doug Ford wins because he's read the room.
00:29:41.760 Yeah.
00:29:41.940 You look at the polling that Leger did for Post Media.
00:29:45.460 Yeah.
00:29:45.660 More than 80% won a hard-nosed response.
00:29:51.540 Dollar-for-dollar retaliation.
00:29:53.700 Doug Ford is calling for the government to go harder than what Trudeau is going.
00:29:59.060 Trudeau, I think Trudeau is actually doing a smart way.
00:30:02.700 He's ramping up.
00:30:04.060 I think the smartest viewpoint that I've heard is Pierre Polyev, where he talked about no tariffs on some things.
00:30:10.140 If we need them, like, you know, celery in the winter.
00:30:12.960 Why would we do that?
00:30:13.960 But then the, you know, if we can make it here, put higher tariffs on.
00:30:19.220 Make it dollar-for-dollar, but not, you know, 25% across the board, let's say.
00:30:25.520 Liberal leadership.
00:30:26.360 I think people are foolishly looking at Mark Carney and saying, well, he's an economist, so he knows best.
00:30:35.020 You know, I know a lot of economists, and I did a podcast with two of them on Full Comment earlier in the week.
00:30:41.120 So if people want to hear about what's threatening us beyond the tariffs, because the tariffs are a small part of this, the bigger threat is from Trump's restructuring of the American economy.
00:30:52.680 I spoke to Ian Lee and Carlo Dade.
00:30:54.200 Go listen to that.
00:30:55.620 But Mark Carney, I think, you know, he looks like he's walking away with the liberal leadership, and people believe that he's really smart.
00:31:03.900 Well, he, on his carbon tax thing, he said, well, we'll get rid of the consumer one, then jack up the one for industry.
00:31:15.480 And Todd Battis at CTV Atlantic, same guy that interviewed Pierre a week ago, said, well, won't people eventually pay that?
00:31:21.260 And he said, oh, no, no.
00:31:23.520 It's like, you're the economist.
00:31:25.580 You know that's not true.
00:31:27.200 So, you know, and Justin Trudeau, by the way, I think this is the first time we've mentioned him.
00:31:31.580 He's irrelevant.
00:31:32.520 He's totally irrelevant.
00:31:34.000 He's gone.
00:31:35.060 He's out building his shack in Costa Rica or whatever.
00:31:38.140 So, anyway, well, I guess the sad reality, I feel terrible for people who are anxious tonight, wondering, asking their spouse if they're going to lose their job, what it means for their future.
00:31:50.160 So I'm saying a prayer for all those people.
00:31:53.080 And I guess it's a lot for you and I to talk about in the coming weeks, isn't it?
00:31:58.140 Absolutely.
00:31:58.540 And just I've got Fox News on.
00:32:00.640 I subscribe to Fox News now so I can know what the president's saying.
00:32:04.900 And they're just showing Mike Pompeo talking about the tariffs on Canada, Mexico going into effect.
00:32:10.240 And, yeah, only 10% on China.
00:32:12.660 Don't bloody get it.
00:32:14.000 No, makes no sense.
00:32:15.380 Not the way you treat a friend, that's for damn sure.
00:32:18.860 Anyway, my friend, honored you could share some time with us on what is a very busy day for you.
00:32:25.600 So have a great day and a great week.
00:32:27.980 Talk soon.
00:32:29.080 Every day, every afternoon, tried so hard, but lost to God.
00:32:40.220 Chill out.
00:32:40.980 Chill out.
00:32:41.980 Chill out.
00:32:42.980 I thought, yeah, my friend, I'll guess again.
00:32:50.500 I look to the clouds.
00:32:53.560 God gives me a frown.
00:32:56.380 Come on.
00:32:57.560 This time is here.
00:33:05.000 I'll say sorry, but Jesus saw my girlfriend.
00:33:18.000 Jesus saw my girlfriend.
00:33:21.060 A smile and a wink meant more than a kiss, but I don't see the world like you do, girl.
00:33:34.060 We ate and we sung to glory and fun, but Jesus is here.
00:33:42.980 He ate up our fears.
00:33:45.700 Yeah.
00:33:46.060 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:33:56.740 This time is just open.
00:34:01.060 This time is just outside, so hard, but Jesus saw my girlfriend.
00:34:13.060 Jesus saw my girlfriend.
00:34:18.060 Ask a friend what to do.
00:34:22.060 I wrote a prayer and made it out to you.
00:34:27.060 Angels listen, but they knew I was true.
00:34:33.060 Say a prayer.
00:34:36.060 Lift our hands.
00:34:39.060 Lift our hands.
00:34:41.060 Glorious.
00:34:42.060 Glorious.
00:34:43.060 This time is here.
00:34:48.060 This time is here.
00:34:49.060 I'll remember it.
00:34:51.060 This time is here.
00:34:53.060 I'll say sorry, but Jesus saw my girlfriend.
00:34:56.060 But Jesus stole my girlfriend
00:34:59.060 Jesus stole my girlfriend
00:35:05.060 Jesus stole my girlfriend
00:35:10.060 Jesus stole my girlfriend
00:35:16.060 Guest panelist Candice Bergen
00:35:25.460 Former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada
00:35:28.260 Candice welcome to the show
00:35:29.260 Hi Ben
00:35:30.560 Warren Kinsella
00:35:31.880 A great friend of the show
00:35:33.280 Former special advisor to Jean Chrétien
00:35:34.840 And CEO of the Daisy Group
00:35:35.880 Welcome back my friend
00:35:36.620 Good morning sir
00:35:38.060 And another great friend Adam Zivo
00:35:39.940 National Post columnist
00:35:40.940 And executive director
00:35:41.940 For the Centre for Responsible Drug Policy
00:35:44.160 Adam thanks so much for coming back
00:35:45.480 Thanks for having me
00:35:47.200 Alright so yesterday
00:35:48.200 We got confirmation that tomorrow is tea day
00:35:50.640 Trump confirmed that the tariffs are coming
00:35:52.820 On Canadian imports
00:35:54.120 And he said oil may or may not be included
00:35:58.060 Candice how did we get to this point
00:36:00.680 Was it an inevitability
00:36:03.780 Or could this have been averted
00:36:05.300 Well I don't think anybody knows
00:36:07.980 The exact answer to that
00:36:09.860 I mean I was in the House of Commons
00:36:11.860 I was part of the opposition
00:36:13.040 Watching the Liberals
00:36:14.700 Over the last two and a half years
00:36:17.260 Insulting and mocking Donald Trump
00:36:19.800 And anyone who associated with him
00:36:22.160 For you know
00:36:23.600 For political gain
00:36:25.000 I don't know
00:36:26.180 That I would have taken that approach
00:36:27.940 If I think I might have to work
00:36:29.780 With an American administration
00:36:31.400 I might not have spent many years
00:36:33.820 Mocking and insulting them
00:36:35.040 So let's start with that
00:36:36.220 Secondly
00:36:37.740 Currently we are not
00:36:39.820 Really listening to what
00:36:41.500 President Trump
00:36:42.620 And the people around him are saying
00:36:44.540 And why they are threatening
00:36:46.200 And imposing these tariffs
00:36:47.800 So if we want to find a resolution
00:36:49.820 I think we have to truly understand
00:36:51.840 What they're saying
00:36:52.440 It's like a marriage ban
00:36:53.460 If you want the marriage to blow up
00:36:55.280 You disregard what your spouse is saying
00:36:57.660 Say they have no valid reason
00:36:59.100 To be upset
00:36:59.780 And you're going to end up in divorce
00:37:01.800 If you want the marriage to work out
00:37:03.640 You say hey
00:37:04.300 If it's important to you
00:37:05.580 It's important to me
00:37:06.980 So when Trump says
00:37:08.360 You've got fentanyl coming into the US
00:37:10.640 Maybe we say quietly
00:37:13.000 Listen that's not what our officials are saying
00:37:14.920 But if you care about it
00:37:16.720 America
00:37:17.440 We care about it
00:37:18.540 So you know
00:37:19.300 I think that there's some
00:37:20.400 Some things that we're not doing
00:37:22.240 Properly at the moment
00:37:23.840 Yeah Warren
00:37:24.540 I'm scratching my head
00:37:26.280 Because
00:37:26.920 He said the border was an issue
00:37:29.560 And the feds eventually put together
00:37:31.400 A 1.4 billion dollar border plan
00:37:33.800 Some of it is taking effect
00:37:35.560 Some of it's going to roll out
00:37:36.560 Over the course of months and years
00:37:37.920 You've got the provinces
00:37:39.060 Buttressing those
00:37:40.620 In their own ways
00:37:41.900 And so it looks to me like
00:37:44.520 The solve is on its way
00:37:46.300 So the only thing that I can look at
00:37:48.300 Is while Donald Trump projects strength
00:37:50.260 He's thin skinned
00:37:53.720 And when our prime minister
00:37:54.620 Took to a microphone
00:37:55.540 To essentially demean the American people
00:37:58.800 And say you could have elected
00:38:00.140 Your first female president
00:38:02.040 And you didn't
00:38:02.740 To me I think he just decided
00:38:04.480 Okay I'm going to go full petty here
00:38:06.040 And I'm going to inflict some damage
00:38:08.040 But I have nothing in the basis of fact
00:38:11.120 To say that that's true
00:38:12.080 It's just a feeling I have
00:38:12.960 Like we got here
00:38:15.500 To answer your question to Candace
00:38:17.560 Because we made a mistake
00:38:19.480 As a people
00:38:20.480 Under successive governments
00:38:22.680 Of all stripes
00:38:23.560 We allowed 80% of our trade
00:38:26.760 To balloon to one customer
00:38:28.920 The United States of America
00:38:30.680 That's why we're vulnerable
00:38:32.960 We didn't diversify our trade
00:38:35.320 That's why he's got us over a barrel
00:38:37.600 But just like I am so fed up
00:38:40.100 Of hearing about his BS
00:38:42.000 About fentanyl and the border
00:38:44.160 He said those things as an excuse
00:38:48.060 To get himself out of the terms
00:38:50.420 Of the trade agreement
00:38:51.560 He signed himself with us
00:38:54.180 The USMCA
00:38:55.520 He could not get himself
00:38:57.580 Out of the terms of that agreement
00:38:59.420 Without concocting so-called
00:39:01.900 National emergencies
00:39:03.000 Which is fentanyl
00:39:04.560 And illegal aliens
00:39:05.900 And all of us know
00:39:07.200 Anybody with a brain knows
00:39:09.220 That fentanyl and illegal aliens
00:39:11.800 Overwhelmingly come from the south
00:39:14.240 Into the United States
00:39:15.640 Not from the north
00:39:16.920 So it's all bogus
00:39:18.800 But we do have a problem
00:39:20.480 Like I'm fed up
00:39:21.260 Trying to justify our behavior
00:39:23.620 To this man
00:39:24.500 It's a bad strategy
00:39:26.000 You know
00:39:26.400 In full disclosure
00:39:27.060 I work for Hillary
00:39:27.900 I work for Harris
00:39:28.980 The one thing I learned about Trump
00:39:30.500 Is his predictability
00:39:32.460 Is that he's unpredictable
00:39:33.860 Us trying to dance to his tune
00:39:36.180 Is a mistake
00:39:36.800 We need to find leadership
00:39:38.180 Who can guide us
00:39:39.280 Through the years ahead
00:39:40.260 And diversify our trade portfolio
00:39:43.380 That's what we need
00:39:44.560 Talking about the past
00:39:45.880 It's a waste of time
00:39:46.800 I know
00:39:47.340 And Adam
00:39:48.140 I'm of two minds
00:39:49.940 I agree
00:39:50.440 We've got this big problem
00:39:51.980 Ahead of us
00:39:52.500 It doesn't necessarily
00:39:53.300 Bode well
00:39:54.140 Or help us to look back
00:39:55.460 However
00:39:56.160 It's in the immediate past
00:39:58.020 We've
00:39:58.680 The self-inflicted wounds
00:40:00.140 Of
00:40:00.720 You know
00:40:01.120 Piroguing parliament
00:40:02.040 And forcing us
00:40:03.340 Into
00:40:03.560 Wait for the liberals
00:40:05.000 To figure out
00:40:05.680 Their own mess
00:40:06.300 Before we can finally
00:40:07.240 Have a prime minister
00:40:08.080 With a mandate
00:40:08.820 These are choices
00:40:10.420 That were made
00:40:10.960 In the very recent past
00:40:12.400 And it's
00:40:12.680 And Donald Trump
00:40:13.720 Wasn't around the corner
00:40:14.820 At that point
00:40:15.380 He was right in front of us
00:40:16.940 Yeah
00:40:18.560 I mean
00:40:18.740 I think obviously
00:40:19.200 These are self-inflicted wounds
00:40:20.400 And that it was
00:40:21.020 Obviously unwise
00:40:22.440 To prorogue parliament
00:40:23.460 While we were well aware
00:40:24.760 Of the fact
00:40:25.140 That we would deal
00:40:25.740 With this substantial crisis
00:40:27.080 Which I think
00:40:28.000 Some people
00:40:28.540 You know
00:40:28.840 Have arguably
00:40:29.420 Compared to
00:40:30.440 The pandemic
00:40:31.440 Should these tariffs
00:40:33.200 You know
00:40:33.480 Fully go through
00:40:34.420 As we all fear tomorrow
00:40:35.880 That risks shedding
00:40:37.420 500,000 jobs
00:40:38.880 In Ontario
00:40:39.780 Right
00:40:40.460 And we have a labor force
00:40:41.760 Of about 8 million people
00:40:42.880 So this would
00:40:43.380 Immediately increase
00:40:44.740 Our unemployment rate
00:40:47.300 By about 6.25%
00:40:49.160 Basically bring it up
00:40:50.360 To levels that we saw
00:40:51.100 At the height of COVID
00:40:51.740 And it doesn't take a genius
00:40:53.320 To see
00:40:54.160 That if you have
00:40:55.580 The risk of such
00:40:56.480 A catastrophic
00:40:57.340 Development coming through
00:40:59.300 You want to keep
00:41:00.320 Parliaments in session
00:41:01.240 So you can work together
00:41:02.520 On a solution
00:41:03.680 Donald Trump is unpredictable
00:41:05.380 And he's predatory
00:41:06.260 And he smells weakness
00:41:07.540 And Trudeau
00:41:09.220 Unfortunately
00:41:09.780 Has been very weak
00:41:11.120 And has prioritized
00:41:12.440 His political survival
00:41:13.280 Over the country's economy
00:41:15.300 And its future
00:41:16.080 In our previous segment
00:41:17.580 We spoke with
00:41:18.160 Kevin O'Leary
00:41:18.740 Who love him or hate him
00:41:20.180 Has spent a lot of time
00:41:21.240 With Donald Trump
00:41:21.960 And he says
00:41:22.600 That we can get
00:41:23.260 A last minute deal
00:41:24.500 Let's listen to
00:41:26.380 What he has to say
00:41:27.340 We've got to figure that out
00:41:28.520 In the next 20 hours
00:41:30.240 So I expect
00:41:31.560 The other premiers
00:41:32.400 Will do the same thing
00:41:33.540 That Daniel Smith did
00:41:34.800 And get out there
00:41:36.220 And communicate
00:41:36.900 That they don't want
00:41:37.820 Fentanyl in their provinces either
00:41:39.300 They don't want the Chinese
00:41:40.240 Using a forest border
00:41:41.460 In their provinces
00:41:42.480 This is the focus right now
00:41:44.840 And if we get this done
00:41:46.600 The only objective
00:41:47.440 Is to kick
00:41:48.220 This whole issue
00:41:49.540 Down the road
00:41:50.760 Until we have
00:41:51.280 A federal election
00:41:52.020 And we put a mandate
00:41:52.920 In place
00:41:53.380 With whoever the new leader
00:41:54.240 Is going to be
00:41:54.780 To negotiate with Trump
00:41:55.980 On NAFTA 3
00:41:56.740 Because there's a big
00:41:57.420 Economic opportunity here
00:41:58.760 Not a downside
00:42:00.460 That's who we should be
00:42:01.420 Focusing on
00:42:01.980 So let's get that message out
00:42:03.200 Let's get it out on Fox
00:42:04.240 Let's get every premier
00:42:05.400 Saying I'll top up
00:42:06.920 With an extra
00:42:07.400 Whatever it is
00:42:08.420 Like Smith did
00:42:09.520 29 million bucks
00:42:10.800 Canadian
00:42:11.160 Is nothing
00:42:12.080 In the context
00:42:13.020 What it costs
00:42:13.740 To get involved
00:42:14.480 In a trade war
00:42:16.060 I'm going to give
00:42:16.820 Each of you
00:42:17.360 45 seconds
00:42:18.320 To respond
00:42:18.880 To Kevin O'Leary
00:42:19.700 And we're going to
00:42:20.380 Start with you Warren
00:42:20.980 I don't care
00:42:22.660 What Kevin O'Leary
00:42:23.400 Says he dropped
00:42:24.420 The conservative race
00:42:25.520 When he got like
00:42:26.060 Less than 1%
00:42:27.300 Of the delegates
00:42:28.360 Conservatives aren't
00:42:29.320 Even interested
00:42:29.920 In what he has to say
00:42:30.900 This is like
00:42:31.840 The voice of Boston
00:42:32.840 This guy lives in Boston
00:42:34.260 And he's telling us
00:42:35.460 How to run our affairs
00:42:36.600 Like he should
00:42:37.760 But he has been
00:42:38.600 Speaking to Donald Trump
00:42:39.660 He spent a lot of time
00:42:40.320 Spent more time
00:42:40.860 Than Trudeau has
00:42:41.740 And what a tremendous
00:42:43.120 Effect he's had Ben
00:42:44.380 You know
00:42:45.480 What a success
00:42:46.320 He has had
00:42:47.120 On our behalf
00:42:47.860 He's an idiot
00:42:48.900 I don't care
00:42:49.560 What he has to say
00:42:50.440 We need to focus
00:42:51.520 On a Canadian solution
00:42:52.620 Not listening to
00:42:53.800 Some game show host
00:42:54.860 In Boston
00:42:55.540 Hey don't knock
00:42:56.320 The game show host
00:42:57.180 Warren
00:42:57.480 I used to be one
00:42:58.560 Let's talk
00:42:59.480 Adam your take
00:43:00.460 You're good
00:43:00.820 Well I think
00:43:02.260 If he's advocating
00:43:03.160 That we fix
00:43:03.720 The border problem
00:43:04.400 I think that's ridiculous
00:43:05.180 Because there is
00:43:06.040 No real border problem
00:43:07.060 As alluded to before
00:43:08.080 Fentanyl coming in
00:43:09.000 From Canada
00:43:09.500 Is not a big issue
00:43:10.360 For the United States
00:43:11.300 The Canadian fentanyl
00:43:13.080 Accounts for about
00:43:14.160 1% of what is
00:43:15.840 Flowing in from Mexico
00:43:16.880 So sure
00:43:17.900 We can spend
00:43:18.400 All of this money
00:43:19.040 Trying to fix
00:43:19.600 A non-existent problem
00:43:20.580 But ultimately
00:43:21.140 What we have to do
00:43:21.980 Is kowtow
00:43:23.460 To Trump
00:43:24.740 And soothe his ego
00:43:26.000 And maybe there's
00:43:26.640 Some truth in that
00:43:27.560 But I think
00:43:28.420 We have to reflect upon
00:43:29.420 What it means for us
00:43:30.960 To have to
00:43:32.580 Treat our ally
00:43:33.500 This way
00:43:33.980 If we want to be
00:43:34.460 Traded with basic respect
00:43:35.480 And protect our sovereignty
00:43:36.580 Candace
00:43:37.900 You had the first word
00:43:38.760 In this segment
00:43:39.320 I'm going to give you
00:43:39.760 The last word
00:43:40.320 Well
00:43:41.540 Listen
00:43:42.280 I'm coming
00:43:42.920 You know
00:43:44.000 As a mom
00:43:44.620 And sometimes
00:43:45.960 You want to get
00:43:46.700 The problem solved
00:43:47.700 It doesn't matter
00:43:48.320 Who's right
00:43:49.040 Who's wrong
00:43:49.820 You want to get
00:43:50.480 The problem solved
00:43:51.560 In this case
00:43:52.220 We need the problem solved
00:43:53.760 So if Donald Trump
00:43:55.280 Thinks we have a problem
00:43:56.720 Thinks we have a problem
00:43:56.740 With fentanyl
00:43:57.460 I think we should be
00:43:58.940 Publicly and privately
00:44:01.200 Saying please tell us
00:44:02.880 Where and what
00:44:03.780 You believe the problem is
00:44:04.960 Our data is not
00:44:05.860 Showing that
00:44:06.480 But we respect you
00:44:08.040 We want to listen to you
00:44:09.580 We want to hear you
00:44:11.060 We play psychology
00:44:12.460 If we need to
00:44:13.200 So I would say
00:44:14.140 I agree with what Kevin O'Leary
00:44:16.040 Is saying
00:44:16.560 We need to talk to them
00:44:18.040 If it's a problem
00:44:19.040 If it's a problem for you America
00:44:19.880 It's a problem for us
00:44:21.420 Because we want
00:44:22.380 This relationship
00:44:23.400 To work
00:44:24.160 So we shouldn't be
00:44:25.120 Gaslighting
00:44:25.780 I think we need to see
00:44:26.960 What they're talking about
00:44:28.160 And fix it to their satisfaction
00:44:30.480 Well this has been a great
00:44:31.620 First segment of the
00:44:32.520 Political panel
00:44:33.180 Candice Bergen
00:44:33.920 Warren Kinsella
00:44:34.680 Adam Zeevo
00:44:35.360 Are my guests
00:44:36.300 For this week in politics
00:44:37.860 We've got more
00:44:38.760 With the panel next
00:44:39.820 Including are we buying
00:44:41.100 What Jagmeet Singh
00:44:41.980 Is selling
00:44:42.920 That is next
00:44:43.960 On the Ben Mulroney Show
00:44:44.980 This is
00:44:45.960 This week in politics
00:44:47.120 Continuing with
00:44:48.020 Candice Bergen
00:44:48.680 Warren Kinsella
00:44:49.560 And Adam Zeevo
00:44:50.680 We've got
00:44:51.740 We've got Jagmeet Singh
00:44:53.540 Saying he will bring down
00:44:54.840 The government in March
00:44:55.760 But he wants to pass
00:44:57.500 Trump tariff relief first
00:44:58.820 Let's listen to
00:44:59.740 The leader of the NDP
00:45:00.760 Parliament is not set
00:45:02.080 To come back
00:45:02.660 Until March 24th
00:45:04.080 It would be very unlikely
00:45:05.180 That between that day
00:45:06.180 And the end of March
00:45:06.880 The government
00:45:07.600 And your party
00:45:08.500 Or any other parties
00:45:09.240 Would be able to pass
00:45:10.000 Any legislation
00:45:10.700 To help out workers
00:45:11.980 So again
00:45:13.180 If parliament comes back
00:45:15.000 On the 24th
00:45:15.900 And there is no
00:45:17.140 Tariff help
00:45:18.020 For workers
00:45:18.760 You will vote
00:45:19.560 To bring down the government
00:45:20.440 At any available date
00:45:21.840 Past March 31st
00:45:23.200 We'd just like some clarity
00:45:24.120 Because your position
00:45:25.360 Your position has been
00:45:26.460 Moving on this issue
00:45:27.320 Not at all
00:45:28.160 It's not changed at all
00:45:29.560 We said I was going to
00:45:30.660 Vote against the government
00:45:31.360 When they come back
00:45:32.080 End of March
00:45:32.920 I'm saying that again
00:45:34.020 Today
00:45:34.360 We absolutely
00:45:36.140 Can pass legislation
00:45:37.260 We've done it in the past
00:45:38.420 We absolutely
00:45:39.520 Can pass legislation
00:45:40.420 If the parliament
00:45:41.400 Is recalled now
00:45:42.240 We've got
00:45:43.180 Lots of time
00:45:44.040 To get parliament
00:45:44.660 To get this
00:45:45.520 This passed
00:45:46.640 It can be fast tracked
00:45:47.720 It can be done
00:45:48.600 It can be done
00:45:49.040 Very quickly
00:45:49.700 All right
00:45:50.920 Adam Zivo
00:45:51.780 Do you trust
00:45:52.460 That Jagmeet Singh
00:45:53.380 Is going to vote
00:45:53.820 Non-confidence
00:45:54.440 At the first chance
00:45:55.820 He gets
00:45:56.280 Or is he going
00:45:57.220 To use dental care
00:45:58.100 And tariff relief
00:45:59.320 Spending as a reason
00:46:00.680 To prop up this government
00:46:01.680 Just a little bit longer
00:46:03.020 I think the latter
00:46:04.780 Because he's demonstrated
00:46:05.860 Time and time again
00:46:06.640 That he has no spine
00:46:07.860 Right
00:46:08.320 He tore up
00:46:09.140 The confidence
00:46:09.700 Supply agreements
00:46:10.600 And said that
00:46:12.240 He was willing
00:46:12.920 To bring down
00:46:13.800 The liberals
00:46:14.240 And did absolutely
00:46:15.380 Nothing
00:46:15.740 Until he was forced to
00:46:16.800 When there was
00:46:17.120 A national crisis
00:46:17.820 After Christian Freeland's
00:46:18.920 Resignation
00:46:19.560 And I think
00:46:21.680 That
00:46:22.540 It's unlikely
00:46:25.500 That the NDP
00:46:26.520 Will be in as good
00:46:28.060 Of a political position
00:46:28.920 As it is right now
00:46:30.200 For quite some time
00:46:31.140 Because their polling
00:46:31.840 Numbers are stagnant
00:46:32.720 If not declining
00:46:33.480 They have more influence
00:46:35.260 Than they've had
00:46:35.960 In a generation
00:46:37.120 And likely won't
00:46:38.620 Achieve this level
00:46:39.300 Of influence
00:46:39.900 After the conservatives
00:46:40.880 Have formed government
00:46:41.820 So I can see
00:46:43.320 There being very strong
00:46:44.260 Incentives for him
00:46:45.040 To renege
00:46:47.220 And to
00:46:48.580 Continue to support
00:46:49.440 The liberals
00:46:49.840 If only to push
00:46:50.720 The agenda
00:46:51.140 And get some kind
00:46:51.880 Of victory
00:46:52.260 That he can point to
00:46:53.200 Until his party
00:46:54.360 Goes to a period
00:46:55.120 Of hibernation
00:46:56.080 For another decade
00:46:56.820 Or so
00:46:57.220 Candace
00:46:58.540 Do you agree?
00:47:01.060 My experience
00:47:01.620 Working with the NDP
00:47:02.500 Is that they're
00:47:03.240 Actually not
00:47:03.880 That politically astute
00:47:05.520 If Jagmeet
00:47:07.560 Had been smart
00:47:08.280 He would have
00:47:08.940 Toppled the government
00:47:09.720 In December
00:47:10.380 And run against
00:47:11.780 The liberals
00:47:12.280 Under Trudeau
00:47:12.980 When he saw
00:47:14.060 All that blood
00:47:14.600 In the water
00:47:15.060 So when I look
00:47:16.580 At what he's
00:47:17.380 Saying now
00:47:18.060 I don't believe him
00:47:19.420 I don't trust him
00:47:20.360 I think he makes
00:47:21.540 Things up on the fly
00:47:22.680 With not a real
00:47:23.400 Strategic plan
00:47:24.380 Interestingly
00:47:25.900 In this case
00:47:26.920 It could end up
00:47:27.880 If this is delayed
00:47:29.040 A little bit
00:47:29.660 This could end up
00:47:30.420 Helping the conservatives
00:47:31.420 Because it will
00:47:33.100 Maybe take the shine
00:47:34.420 Off what probably
00:47:35.620 Will be a Mark Carney
00:47:36.520 Coronation
00:47:37.620 And expose
00:47:39.080 The hypocrisy
00:47:40.320 And the liberals
00:47:40.920 And so
00:47:41.840 You know
00:47:42.360 That could be
00:47:42.960 Interesting
00:47:43.320 But no
00:47:43.720 I don't trust
00:47:44.380 Jagmeet at all
00:47:45.160 And it's not
00:47:45.940 Because I just
00:47:46.560 Think he's so shrewd
00:47:47.660 I just
00:47:48.260 I don't think
00:47:49.080 He's got a lot
00:47:49.640 Of
00:47:49.760 He and the people
00:47:50.780 Around him
00:47:51.200 Are not that
00:47:51.640 Politically astute
00:47:52.540 Well someone
00:47:53.280 Who is exceptionally
00:47:54.060 Politically astute
00:47:54.780 Is Warren Kinsella
00:47:55.580 And Warren
00:47:55.900 You've given advice
00:47:56.580 To a lot of leaders
00:47:57.400 And they've been
00:47:57.960 Successful
00:47:58.540 In large part
00:47:59.480 Because of that
00:48:00.200 Advice
00:48:00.660 So when you
00:48:01.980 See Jagmeet Singh
00:48:03.380 Over the past
00:48:04.080 Few weeks
00:48:05.040 And months
00:48:05.520 What sort of
00:48:06.220 Advice do you
00:48:06.620 Think he's been
00:48:07.000 Getting
00:48:07.260 Well thank you
00:48:08.640 For that compliment
00:48:09.300 I will accept it
00:48:10.380 I actually think
00:48:13.140 You know
00:48:13.420 He's the voice
00:48:14.420 Of the axis
00:48:14.980 Of weasels
00:48:15.620 As I call it
00:48:16.340 So I don't
00:48:17.060 Believe anything
00:48:17.700 He says
00:48:18.260 However he's
00:48:19.020 Playing it the
00:48:19.640 Right way
00:48:20.340 In my view
00:48:22.040 He needs to
00:48:23.240 Show that
00:48:24.540 He is consistent
00:48:25.760 On toppling
00:48:26.800 The government
00:48:27.380 And the government
00:48:29.180 Under Prime Minister
00:48:30.460 Carney
00:48:30.880 Which is coming
00:48:31.640 They're going to
00:48:32.900 Do whatever it
00:48:33.680 Takes to get him
00:48:34.820 Over to their
00:48:36.280 Side of the equation
00:48:37.340 Like whatever it
00:48:38.560 Takes
00:48:38.900 Every bribe
00:48:39.940 That they can
00:48:40.700 Concoct
00:48:41.360 Because like
00:48:42.460 Put yourself
00:48:43.300 In Carney's
00:48:44.040 Shoes
00:48:44.500 It's crazy
00:48:45.480 To become
00:48:45.920 Leader of the
00:48:46.460 Liberal Party
00:48:47.140 And Prime Minister
00:48:48.820 And then get
00:48:49.740 Defeated two weeks
00:48:50.800 Later
00:48:51.120 Like it's just
00:48:52.120 Not going to
00:48:52.860 Happen
00:48:53.300 So they've
00:48:54.080 Got to do
00:48:54.420 All they can
00:48:55.240 To negotiate
00:48:56.200 With Singh
00:48:56.960 And I'm told
00:48:57.780 That that is
00:48:58.300 Happening now
00:48:59.080 And Singh
00:48:59.940 Needs to
00:49:00.660 Show that
00:49:01.580 He's consistent
00:49:02.460 On his
00:49:03.200 Principles
00:49:03.860 But is he
00:49:04.740 Going to flip
00:49:05.200 For sure
00:49:05.660 He's folded
00:49:06.260 Like a cheap
00:49:06.840 Suit in the
00:49:07.320 Past
00:49:07.640 And he's
00:49:07.980 Going to
00:49:08.400 Again
00:49:08.720 And it's
00:49:09.380 Going to
00:49:09.600 Push the
00:49:09.980 Election
00:49:10.340 To the
00:49:10.780 Fall
00:49:11.040 I don't
00:49:11.720 Believe that
00:49:12.200 We're going
00:49:12.640 To have
00:49:12.900 An election
00:49:13.300 In the
00:49:13.600 Spring
00:49:13.860 And you
00:49:14.460 Know I
00:49:14.700 Just keep
00:49:15.140 Going to
00:49:15.480 That number
00:49:15.940 77%
00:49:17.180 Of Canadians
00:49:17.940 Want an
00:49:18.460 Election
00:49:18.820 Yesterday
00:49:19.540 And so
00:49:20.440 The farther
00:49:20.960 This goes
00:49:21.520 The farther
00:49:21.940 Can is
00:49:22.380 Kicked down
00:49:22.820 The field
00:49:23.460 The more
00:49:24.120 Anger is
00:49:24.820 Going to
00:49:25.080 Build up
00:49:25.540 In the
00:49:25.780 Electorate
00:49:26.240 And they're
00:49:26.500 Going to
00:49:26.780 Direct it
00:49:28.320 At the
00:49:28.640 Two parties
00:49:29.220 That evidently
00:49:30.520 Want to keep
00:49:31.020 People away
00:49:31.640 From the
00:49:31.920 Ballot box
00:49:32.420 That's just
00:49:32.700 My humble
00:49:33.100 Opinion
00:49:33.480 I just
00:49:34.020 Don't
00:49:34.300 Think
00:49:34.480 The longer
00:49:35.200 They wait
00:49:35.680 The worse
00:49:36.080 It is
00:49:36.340 For them
00:49:36.780 But that's
00:49:37.600 Just my
00:49:37.940 Humble
00:49:38.220 Opinion
00:49:38.540 Anyone want
00:49:38.980 To weigh
00:49:39.200 In on
00:49:39.480 That thought
00:49:39.940 I think
00:49:41.640 You're right
00:49:42.080 Ben
00:49:42.340 But let's
00:49:42.800 Not tell
00:49:43.180 Anybody
00:49:43.500 That
00:49:43.880 I have
00:49:46.660 A bit
00:49:46.880 Of a
00:49:47.080 Bias
00:49:47.460 Here
00:49:47.660 But I
00:49:47.900 Think
00:49:48.080 You're
00:49:48.280 Right
00:49:48.500 Absolutely
00:49:49.260 And that
00:49:49.560 Was my
00:49:49.860 Point
00:49:50.180 If again
00:49:51.680 If Singh
00:49:52.040 Is smart
00:49:52.540 He takes
00:49:53.760 Them down
00:49:54.120 As soon
00:49:54.420 As possible
00:49:55.100 Or sorry
00:49:56.540 The other
00:49:56.940 Way around
00:49:57.380 He's going
00:49:57.760 To
00:49:57.880 He'll try
00:49:58.480 To keep
00:49:58.820 It going
00:49:59.120 And I
00:49:59.480 Think that
00:50:00.380 Actually that
00:50:01.460 Could help
00:50:01.800 The conservatives
00:50:02.400 Adam let's
00:50:03.320 Talk
00:50:03.540 Terrifully
00:50:04.160 Spending
00:50:04.700 I get
00:50:06.960 It
00:50:07.080 I get
00:50:07.500 The desire
00:50:08.520 I get
00:50:08.840 The motivation
00:50:10.000 Behind it
00:50:10.420 But do we
00:50:11.260 Really want
00:50:11.960 To take
00:50:12.200 The same
00:50:12.540 Approach
00:50:13.060 We did
00:50:13.740 During covid
00:50:14.440 And just
00:50:14.800 Start pumping
00:50:15.380 Money out
00:50:16.400 I mean
00:50:17.100 It's not
00:50:17.940 The same
00:50:18.360 Situation
00:50:18.980 We spent
00:50:21.460 Like drunken
00:50:22.020 Sailors
00:50:22.500 With no
00:50:23.140 Guardrails
00:50:23.900 And we
00:50:24.420 Are certainly
00:50:24.820 Not in
00:50:25.220 The same
00:50:25.640 Fiscal
00:50:26.120 Position
00:50:26.600 As a
00:50:27.000 Nation
00:50:27.340 Today
00:50:27.780 As we
00:50:28.280 Were prior
00:50:28.740 To covid
00:50:29.220 I think
00:50:31.360 That monumental
00:50:31.900 Spending
00:50:32.400 Would have
00:50:32.640 Been justified
00:50:33.120 Under a
00:50:33.840 Different
00:50:34.120 Government
00:50:34.480 But our
00:50:35.140 Current
00:50:35.400 Government
00:50:35.660 Has illustrated
00:50:36.420 Time and
00:50:36.860 Time again
00:50:37.300 That it
00:50:37.780 Doesn't have
00:50:38.280 A sense
00:50:38.680 Of fiscal
00:50:39.060 Reality
00:50:39.560 And we
00:50:40.440 Saw that
00:50:41.020 With the
00:50:41.560 Aborted
00:50:42.000 Budget
00:50:42.340 From december
00:50:43.080 You know
00:50:43.540 Which showed
00:50:43.960 A 60
00:50:44.380 Billion
00:50:44.780 Deficit
00:50:45.640 And with
00:50:46.540 christia freeland
00:50:47.240 Resigning
00:50:47.840 And you know
00:50:49.220 Writing a public
00:50:49.740 Letter where she
00:50:50.340 Essentially accused
00:50:51.300 Trudeau of
00:50:52.760 Prioritizing cheap
00:50:54.580 Political gimmicks
00:50:55.400 Over the country's
00:50:56.620 Financial health
00:50:57.500 And given
00:50:59.440 Given all of the
00:50:59.880 Wasteful spending
00:51:00.440 That we
00:51:00.820 Saw
00:51:01.280 Under covid
00:51:02.080 Which was
00:51:03.480 Really
00:51:03.920 Astonishing
00:51:04.960 I mean
00:51:05.280 Just
00:51:05.440 Fire
00:51:06.420 Hosing
00:51:06.780 Money
00:51:07.200 With no
00:51:08.240 Thought at
00:51:10.260 All for the
00:51:10.720 Inflationary
00:51:11.240 Effects of
00:51:11.660 That
00:51:11.860 I would
00:51:12.840 Be
00:51:13.300 Skeptical
00:51:14.340 Of any
00:51:14.920 Major
00:51:15.240 Stimulus
00:51:15.640 Packages
00:51:16.080 Coming up
00:51:16.580 This spring
00:51:17.000 Warren
00:51:18.240 I don't
00:51:19.660 Trust
00:51:20.100 A government
00:51:20.980 Addicted
00:51:21.540 To spending
00:51:22.180 To enact
00:51:24.060 Something like
00:51:24.580 This responsibly
00:51:25.420 Like I would
00:51:26.340 Have trusted
00:51:27.420 Your boss
00:51:28.240 Jean Chrétien
00:51:29.180 To do
00:51:29.700 Something like
00:51:30.200 This
00:51:30.440 Because he
00:51:31.080 Showed
00:51:31.460 Discipline
00:51:32.000 In the face
00:51:32.480 Of really
00:51:32.900 Tough
00:51:33.220 Financial times
00:51:34.420 And I
00:51:35.500 Would trust
00:51:35.880 Pierre
00:51:36.340 Polyev
00:51:36.800 Who's
00:51:37.020 Allergic
00:51:37.440 To this
00:51:37.760 Sort of
00:51:38.020 Spending
00:51:38.400 Because he
00:51:39.080 Would do
00:51:39.380 It
00:51:39.560 And hold
00:51:40.400 His nose
00:51:40.780 Doing it
00:51:41.260 I would
00:51:42.300 Be very
00:51:43.000 Worried
00:51:43.400 For this
00:51:43.720 Country
00:51:44.040 If
00:51:44.400 This
00:51:45.360 Current
00:51:45.700 Incarnation
00:51:46.260 Of the
00:51:46.500 Liberals
00:51:46.880 Were given
00:51:47.520 License
00:51:48.020 To just
00:51:48.420 Print
00:51:48.700 Money
00:51:49.040 Yeah
00:51:50.500 But you
00:51:51.460 Know
00:51:51.560 And like
00:51:51.920 Ben
00:51:52.300 You know
00:51:52.760 I don't
00:51:53.900 Spend a lot
00:51:54.480 Of time
00:51:54.840 Defending
00:51:55.360 Justin
00:51:55.920 Trudeau
00:51:56.380 Ever
00:51:56.680 But you
00:51:59.080 Know
00:51:59.180 We've got
00:51:59.540 Doug Ford
00:52:00.080 Standing up
00:52:00.900 Saying something
00:52:01.620 Politicians
00:52:02.320 Don't like
00:52:02.800 To say
00:52:03.340 Two weeks
00:52:04.400 Ago
00:52:04.740 Which is
00:52:05.480 Half a
00:52:06.200 Million
00:52:06.380 People in
00:52:07.080 Ontario
00:52:07.500 Are going
00:52:07.800 To lose
00:52:08.100 Their
00:52:08.320 Livelihood
00:52:08.840 Okay
00:52:09.960 Politicians
00:52:11.000 Don't like
00:52:11.620 Saying stuff
00:52:12.340 Like that
00:52:12.880 Because it
00:52:13.960 Creates an
00:52:14.400 Expectation
00:52:15.060 That the
00:52:15.360 Politician
00:52:15.900 Is going
00:52:16.160 To help
00:52:16.420 Them out
00:52:16.840 And so
00:52:18.080 Like you
00:52:19.480 Know
00:52:19.700 All of us
00:52:20.800 Have
00:52:21.020 Bubs
00:52:21.400 On this
00:52:21.800 Panel
00:52:22.180 Like
00:52:23.020 Somebody
00:52:23.420 Who's
00:52:23.800 Living in
00:52:24.240 Aurora
00:52:24.480 Right now

00:52:39.220 You know
00:52:40.160 Stephen
00:52:40.500 Harper
00:52:40.960 He got
00:52:42.040 Accused
00:52:42.500 Of spending
00:52:42.900 Like a

00:52:49.360 Though I'm
00:52:49.660 A liberal
00:52:50.060 Because what
00:52:50.920 He did
00:52:51.300 Was the
00:52:51.620 Right
00:52:51.860 Thing
00:52:52.220 And during

00:52:57.020 Death
00:52:57.300 On the
00:52:57.940 Street
00:52:58.440 Because we

00:52:59.560 Of people
00:52:59.960 Lost their
00:53:00.460 Lives
00:53:00.760 During the
00:53:01.640 Pandemic
00:53:02.080 It's the
00:53:02.660 Same thing
00:53:03.180 Here
00:53:03.560 And the
00:53:04.060 People
00:53:04.300 Agree

00:53:37.700 Mean to
00:53:37.980 Be
00:53:38.140 Cynical
00:53:38.620 But it
00:53:39.180 Is in
00:53:39.780 The
00:53:40.120 Interest
00:53:40.740 Of some

00:57:55.660 want
00:57:55.880 to
00:57:56.020 turn
00:57:56.660 your
00:57:56.840 ear
00:57:57.040 to
00:57:57.180 a
00:57:57.300 conversation
00:57:57.760 I
00:57:58.120 just
00:57:58.520 had
00:57:58.940 on
00:57:59.560 the
00:57:59.720 show
00:57:59.940 with
00:58:00.120 Warren
00:58:00.420 Kinsella
00:58:00.960 and
00:58:01.600 here
00:58:01.840 was
00:58:02.020 his
00:58:02.300 assessment
00:58:02.780 of
00:58:03.460 what's
00:58:03.700 going
00:58:03.900 on
00:58:04.140 right
00:58:04.320 now
00:58:04.580 with
00:58:04.720 Donald
00:58:04.920 Trump
00:58:05.160 but
00:58:05.680 just
00:58:05.900 like
00:58:06.200 I
00:58:06.480 am
00:58:06.620 so
00:58:06.900 fed
00:58:07.220 up
00:58:07.400 hearing
00:58:07.760 about
00:58:08.220 his
00:58:08.800 BS
00:58:09.480 about
00:58:09.860 fentanyl
00:58:10.520 and
00:58:10.920 the
00:58:11.060 border
00:58:11.480 he
00:58:12.620 said
00:58:13.120 those
00:58:13.480 things
00:58:14.000 as
00:58:14.660 an
00:58:14.840 excuse
00:58:15.360 to
00:58:16.000 get
00:58:16.220 himself
00:58:16.700 out
00:58:17.080 of
00:58:17.180 the
00:58:17.320 terms
00:58:17.740 of
00:58:17.980 the
00:58:18.140 trade
00:58:18.420 agreement
00:58:18.860 he
00:58:19.500 signed
00:58:19.980 himself
00:58:20.600 with
00:58:21.040 us
00:58:21.480 the
00:58:21.980 USMCA
00:58:22.820 he
00:58:23.700 could
00:58:23.920 not
00:58:24.180 get
00:58:24.400 himself
00:58:24.880 out of
00:58:25.300 the
00:58:25.440 terms
00:58:25.860 of
00:58:26.060 that
00:58:26.240 agreement
00:58:26.720 without
00:58:27.620 concocting
00:58:28.540 so-called
00:58:29.200 national
00:58:29.700 emergencies
00:58:30.280 which is
00:58:31.260 fentanyl
00:58:31.840 and illegal
00:58:32.800 aliens
00:58:33.240 and all
00:58:33.820 of us
00:58:34.160 know
00:58:34.480 anybody
00:58:35.060 with a
00:58:35.620 brain
00:58:35.960 knows
00:58:36.520 that
00:58:37.160 fentanyl
00:58:37.820 and
00:58:38.100 illegal
00:58:38.440 aliens
00:58:39.100 overwhelmingly
00:58:40.240 come from
00:58:41.020 the south
00:58:41.540 into the
00:58:42.160 United
00:58:42.420 States
00:58:42.920 not from
00:58:43.720 the north
00:58:44.220 so it's
00:58:45.140 all bogus
00:58:46.120 so what
00:58:47.240 do you
00:58:47.400 what do
00:58:47.880 you think
00:58:48.180 Mr.
00:58:48.460 Ambassador
00:58:48.820 well I
00:58:50.260 agree with
00:58:50.860 Warren
00:58:51.180 entirely
00:58:51.920 I mean
00:58:52.760 it's
00:58:52.980 absurd
00:58:53.460 to
00:58:54.180 compare
00:58:54.500 the
00:58:54.720 problems
00:58:55.160 on the
00:58:55.520 northern
00:58:55.780 border
00:58:56.180 which
00:58:57.320 there
00:58:57.660 are
00:58:57.820 some
00:58:58.180 with
00:58:58.900 those
00:58:59.280 on the
00:59:00.140 southern
00:59:00.380 border
00:59:00.700 I mean
00:59:00.960 given how
00:59:01.620 Trump is
00:59:02.240 reacting to
00:59:02.920 the southern
00:59:03.280 border
00:59:03.620 sending
00:59:04.240 troops in
00:59:04.960 and the
00:59:05.500 whole bunch
00:59:06.020 it's
00:59:06.620 absolutely
00:59:07.240 absurd
00:59:07.900 to make
00:59:08.260 the
00:59:08.400 comparison
00:59:08.960 his
00:59:09.800 threat
00:59:10.160 of
00:59:10.340 tariffs
00:59:10.760 against
00:59:11.160 Canada
00:59:11.620 are
00:59:12.280 unsubstantiated
00:59:13.480 completely
00:59:14.040 unsubstantiated
00:59:16.200 unwarranted
00:59:17.280 and probably
00:59:18.000 illegal
00:59:18.820 as Warren
00:59:19.800 said
00:59:20.200 Trump
00:59:21.020 signed
00:59:21.600 an
00:59:21.800 agreement
00:59:22.160 that was
00:59:23.560 passed
00:59:23.900 by Congress
00:59:24.600 and our
00:59:25.280 Parliament
00:59:25.720 and this
00:59:26.840 action
00:59:27.340 would violate
00:59:28.240 the basic
00:59:28.860 terms of
00:59:29.560 that agreement
00:59:30.080 as well as
00:59:30.580 any other
00:59:31.120 international trade
00:59:32.480 agreement that I
00:59:33.120 can think of
00:59:33.860 it's absolutely
00:59:35.140 absurd
00:59:35.960 shouldn't
00:59:57.920 you like
00:59:58.420 cheap wine
00:59:59.300 to
00:59:59.440 my
00:59:59.740 channel
01:00:00.100 nine
01:00:00.640 your
01:00:00.960 60 minutes
01:00:01.640 never felt
01:00:02.260 so
01:00:02.660 damn right
01:00:03.380 Cause I know the rules, the game, are working against me
01:00:07.260 Days one, two, three, staring at me
01:00:11.420 As I stare at my phone and start pondering
01:00:13.940 How bad it would be to just be me
01:00:17.620 It'd be harder than I should suffer
01:00:21.760 Cause we can always say that to be a good lover
01:00:24.980 I have to understand
01:00:27.080 But love is bell dreams
01:00:30.180 Bell dreams
01:00:33.040 If you knew me, it would be easier to see
01:00:48.680 That I'm a product of anxiety
01:00:52.520 But I count to three and remember to breathe
01:00:57.480 As I stare at my face and start pondering some words
01:01:01.160 To make you love me
01:01:04.200 And that's all that I keep lost on
01:01:08.120 Cause don't consider saying that to be a good lover
01:01:11.080 I have to show you this girl
01:01:13.140 That I have empathy
01:01:15.880 And I know that I should suffer
01:01:29.080 Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
01:01:36.820 But I'm not far
01:01:39.840 Better than I should suffer
01:01:43.320 Cause Dr. Phil is saying that to be a good lover
01:01:46.600 I have to understand
01:01:48.760 Lovers boundaries
01:02:06.820 Do you like to cry to my travel mind?
01:02:17.280 Cause you see me just never felt so damn right
01:02:19.640 Cause I know the rules of the game are working against me
01:02:23.980 Days one, two, three staring at me
01:02:27.760 As I stare at my front set for me to read
01:02:30.440 How bad it's been pretty to just be me
01:02:36.820 And we're back, and we're back on a difficult day
01:02:40.140 And a difficult weekend
01:02:41.200 As everybody knows
01:02:43.740 Donald Trump has launched a trade war with Canada
01:02:48.200 He's imposed a 25% tariff on all goods
01:02:52.460 Entering the United States
01:02:54.320 With the exception of energy products
01:02:56.640 Which is at 10%
01:02:58.880 And Mexico's been hit with the same level of tariffs
01:03:03.900 Tariffs are basically a tax on products
01:03:06.860 China, tellingly, has been hit by 10%
01:03:11.520 So we're being treated worse than China is
01:03:15.420 By the United States
01:03:17.340 Formerly our ally and trading partner
01:03:21.020 The economists are crunching all of this stuff now
01:03:24.680 The Prime Minister has yet to speak
01:03:26.860 He's going to be doing that on Sunday evening
01:03:30.320 But I wanted to speak to John Mraz
01:03:32.740 About something we didn't need to wait for
01:03:34.740 Which is the political consequences of all of this
01:03:38.080 Because we've got elections underway
01:03:40.020 We've got leadership races underway
01:03:42.060 We've got politics moving quickly
01:03:46.240 As it does at all times
01:03:47.880 So there was really four things
01:03:50.600 I wanted to get at with you, John
01:03:52.360 The first being
01:03:54.260 What is the impact of this
01:03:57.500 Historically stupid decision
01:04:00.580 On the coming federal election
01:04:03.440 I don't know
01:04:06.560 All politics are local right now
01:04:08.560 It doesn't matter which party wins
01:04:12.400 Because Donald Trump cares not
01:04:15.060 Right now I haven't seen the numbers change
01:04:18.300 It still looks like he's winning
01:04:20.540 The next federal election
01:04:21.760 We'll see what he says today
01:04:23.300 I think Donald Trump is looking
01:04:27.300 Not at our federal election
01:04:29.120 He's looking at Canada
01:04:30.060 He's looking for a politician
01:04:31.420 Who is prepared to lick his ass
01:04:34.940 He is looking for a politician
01:04:36.180 Who's prepared to say
01:04:37.060 We want to become part of your union
01:04:38.860 He's looking for a partnering crime
01:04:40.960 And until he finds one
01:04:43.420 He will punish us
01:04:44.620 Second question then
01:04:47.060 The provincial election
01:04:49.440 In Ontario is underway
01:04:50.820 The writ was dropped
01:04:52.780 Earlier this week
01:04:54.600 Doug Ford
01:04:55.940 According to a poll released last night
01:04:59.380 By Ipsos I believe
01:05:01.680 Showed him at 50% support
01:05:04.420 More than double that of the NDP
01:05:06.440 Or the Ontario Liberals
01:05:09.320 So that's the biggest lead
01:05:11.320 In Ontario electoral history
01:05:14.280 Since they've been measuring opinion
01:05:17.040 During an elections
01:05:18.900 And a lot of people
01:05:22.640 Me included
01:05:23.300 Think the reason for that
01:05:24.780 Is Doug Ford
01:05:26.680 Has assumed the mantle
01:05:27.740 Of Captain Canada
01:05:28.880 And has come out
01:05:30.380 Against Donald Trump
01:05:32.120 More strongly
01:05:32.980 Than any other politician
01:05:34.300 Do you agree?
01:05:36.460 Maybe it's that
01:05:37.580 Maybe it's that
01:05:38.500 There's a tradition
01:05:39.260 That in Ontario
01:05:40.340 We generally have
01:05:41.560 An opposite government
01:05:43.060 To the federal government
01:05:44.100 And he knows
01:05:44.700 Pierre Paulyard is coming
01:05:45.920 And so Ontario
01:05:46.840 Historically
01:05:47.640 Have always balanced
01:05:48.380 That shit out
01:05:49.140 Or maybe
01:05:50.220 It's that
01:05:51.860 He wanted to close
01:05:52.680 The legislature
01:05:53.480 And close some
01:05:55.500 Of the turmoil
01:05:56.980 That has attended
01:05:57.800 His governance
01:05:58.640 Or maybe
01:05:59.320 It's all three
01:06:00.120 Well he seems to be
01:06:02.920 Whatever the
01:06:03.820 Motivation
01:06:04.860 He's made the ballot
01:06:06.220 Question
01:06:06.820 Donald Trump
01:06:07.960 Hasn't he?
01:06:08.700 And it seems to be
01:06:09.460 Working for him
01:06:10.240 Yeah there's no question
01:06:12.640 That failing
01:06:13.980 I'm going to quote
01:06:14.620 Carville here
01:06:15.340 Him being caught
01:06:16.180 With a dead black boy
01:06:18.100 Or a live white girl
01:06:19.080 He'll win this election
01:06:20.060 With a majority
01:06:20.740 I just think
01:06:21.480 It's an unnecessary
01:06:22.200 Election
01:06:22.780 Okay liberal leadership
01:06:25.020 Race
01:06:25.580 That is necessary
01:06:27.720 Because it was necessary
01:06:28.820 That Mr. Trudeau
01:06:30.800 Take his walk
01:06:31.600 In the snow
01:06:32.160 So that is underway
01:06:34.980 You had been involved
01:06:36.780 In a leadership campaign
01:06:38.720 I don't think you are now
01:06:40.000 But you can talk about
01:06:40.840 That if you want
01:06:41.680 What is the impact
01:06:43.420 Of Trump
01:06:44.200 And his tariffs
01:06:45.540 On the liberal
01:06:46.520 Leadership race
01:06:47.320 We've got
01:06:47.800 Carney
01:06:48.300 And Freeland
01:06:49.460 Have both come out
01:06:50.540 Against Trump
01:06:51.520 And his decision
01:06:52.780 Freeland
01:06:53.880 Much more aggressively
01:06:55.460 Than Carney
01:06:56.300 From what I can see
01:06:57.460 Does this lift
01:06:59.620 All liberal boats
01:07:00.920 Does the
01:07:01.800 Trump fight
01:07:02.880 Help the liberal party
01:07:04.540 And help
01:07:05.240 Whoever becomes
01:07:06.500 Leader
01:07:06.940 Of the liberal party
01:07:08.120 Not if people
01:07:10.740 Are starving
01:07:11.580 In the streets
01:07:12.400 And I don't know
01:07:14.940 Because I'm not
01:07:15.560 An economist
01:07:16.020 And we spoke
01:07:16.980 Before we did this
01:07:18.020 I'm not an economist
01:07:19.260 I don't know
01:07:20.000 What the direct impact
01:07:21.080 Will be
01:07:21.580 On our pocketbooks
01:07:22.820 As a result
01:07:23.800 Of this trade war
01:07:24.680 But I do know
01:07:26.080 That Canadians
01:07:26.620 Are not probably
01:07:27.860 On the whole
01:07:28.440 Paying attention
01:07:29.200 To the liberal
01:07:30.440 Leadership race
01:07:31.400 Nor do they
01:07:32.140 Seemingly
01:07:32.940 Have any faith
01:07:33.660 In our current
01:07:34.460 Prime minister
01:07:35.060 Who's going to
01:07:35.620 Speak in a few hours
01:07:36.720 What can he say
01:07:37.960 Nor do they
01:07:38.940 Seem to have
01:07:39.380 Any faith
01:07:39.820 In Gary Paul
01:07:40.540 Yeah
01:07:40.700 But right now
01:07:41.340 They're worried
01:07:42.100 In recessive times
01:07:44.240 That it's going
01:07:45.440 To get worse
01:07:46.140 And that groceries
01:07:47.020 Are going to be
01:07:47.480 More expensive
01:07:48.260 Rents will not
01:07:49.540 Be paid
01:07:50.080 I don't think
01:07:51.640 Anybody
01:07:52.360 Has punched through
01:07:53.400 In that
01:07:55.520 Leadership race
01:07:56.340 In any meaningful
01:07:57.360 Way
01:07:57.800 With all their
01:07:58.560 Education
01:07:59.080 And their capacity
01:07:59.900 All of them
01:08:00.580 I don't think
01:08:01.220 Anybody has gotten
01:08:02.320 Donald Trump's
01:08:03.000 Attention
01:08:03.320 And that's what
01:08:03.960 You need
01:08:04.280 Well Freeland
01:08:05.920 Has tried
01:08:06.580 I mean
01:08:06.960 When she
01:08:08.140 Announced she
01:08:08.920 Was quitting
01:08:09.440 Cabinet
01:08:10.000 And she
01:08:10.660 Launched her
01:08:11.200 Attack on
01:08:11.940 Trudeau
01:08:12.700 A well
01:08:13.520 Well deserved
01:08:14.480 Attack
01:08:15.020 Trump
01:08:16.300 Went after her
01:08:17.620 And called her
01:08:18.780 Nasty
01:08:19.280 And all the
01:08:19.840 Things that he
01:08:20.380 Normally does
01:08:21.220 About women
01:08:22.380 Who challenge
01:08:23.380 Him
01:08:23.760 So I think
01:08:24.880 That helped
01:08:25.480 Her
01:08:25.800 She's leaned
01:08:27.380 Into that
01:08:28.220 Since she
01:08:29.680 Left Trudeau's
01:08:30.540 Cabinet
01:08:30.940 But it
01:08:31.860 Hasn't
01:08:32.280 Seemed to
01:08:32.940 Have increased
01:08:33.540 Her popularity
01:08:34.440 With the people
01:08:35.080 Who are going
01:08:35.400 To be voting
01:08:35.800 For the next
01:08:36.380 Liberal leader
01:08:37.000 Why is that
01:08:38.200 So I guess
01:08:40.020 The question
01:08:40.420 Is why
01:08:41.220 Is being
01:08:41.800 Against
01:08:42.160 Trump
01:08:42.500 Working for
01:08:43.220 Doug Ford
01:08:43.840 But not
01:08:44.840 Working for
01:08:45.440 Christopher
01:08:45.820 Freeland
01:08:46.180 I'm not sure
01:08:47.700 That Doug Ford's
01:08:49.120 Popularity is
01:08:50.340 Figurately anchored
01:08:51.660 To his
01:08:52.960 Opposition to
01:08:53.920 Trump
01:08:54.220 He's got
01:08:54.980 Great populist
01:08:55.900 Lines
01:08:56.320 He genuinely
01:08:57.660 Means it
01:08:58.160 When he says
01:08:58.600 We'll fight
01:08:59.100 Back
01:08:59.560 But Doug Ford
01:09:00.960 Has become
01:09:01.520 One of the
01:09:01.940 Only dependable
01:09:02.760 Political brands
01:09:03.800 Who rough
01:09:04.480 Around the
01:09:04.820 Edges
01:09:05.160 I was close
01:09:06.420 To telling
01:09:06.840 The truth
01:09:07.300 To voters
01:09:07.820 At this point
01:09:08.540 I think
01:09:09.260 That's where
01:09:09.640 His popularity
01:09:10.120 Lies
01:09:10.700 As to
01:09:11.340 Christopher
01:09:11.600 Freeland
01:09:12.080 I don't
01:09:12.800 Think anybody
01:09:13.420 Believes
01:09:13.920 Anybody
01:09:14.360 Who
01:09:15.000 Worked as
01:09:16.440 A sycophant
01:09:17.080 For our
01:09:17.480 Prime Minister
01:09:18.060 For years
01:09:18.680 And years
01:09:19.060 And then
01:09:19.420 Had a
01:09:19.760 Moment of
01:09:20.260 Conscience
01:09:20.740 Right before
01:09:21.480 Leadership
01:09:21.960 Race
01:09:22.440 She's
01:09:23.660 Very bright
01:09:24.220 She's an
01:09:24.820 Excellent
01:09:25.220 Journalist
01:09:25.880 At the
01:09:26.200 Economist
01:09:26.720 She still
01:09:27.100 Stayed
01:09:27.480 There
01:09:27.700 I don't
01:09:28.560 Think she's
01:09:28.940 A leader
01:09:29.320 And I
01:09:30.120 Think Trump
01:09:30.680 While he
01:09:31.240 Did take a
01:09:31.780 Shot at her
01:09:32.340 There
01:09:33.000 She got
01:09:33.380 That attention
01:09:33.900 A week
01:09:34.800 After that
01:09:35.400 Said I
01:09:36.160 Don't even
01:09:36.540 Know who
01:09:36.940 Pierre
01:09:37.140 Probably
01:09:37.420 Is
01:09:37.860 So I'm
01:09:40.340 Not sure
01:09:40.960 That he
01:09:42.320 Sees any
01:09:43.060 Politician in
01:09:44.140 Canada
01:09:44.540 That being
01:09:45.120 Trump
01:09:45.480 That he
01:09:46.460 Wants to
01:09:46.980 Do business
01:09:47.380 He's a
01:09:47.720 Transactional
01:09:48.480 Guy
01:09:48.800 And we
01:09:49.960 Don't
01:09:50.120 Want to
01:09:50.380 Do trade
01:09:50.800 With him
01:09:51.080 We don't
01:09:51.460 Want to
01:09:51.680 Be the
01:09:51.980 51st
01:09:52.560 State
01:09:52.860 By
01:09:53.360 Huge
01:09:53.880 Overwhelming
01:09:54.440 Majority
01:09:54.980 And we
01:09:55.660 Don't
01:09:55.820 Like him
01:09:56.340 By huge
01:09:56.940 Overwhelming
01:09:57.400 Majority
01:09:57.840 He's
01:09:58.140 Waiting for
01:09:58.540 Someone
01:09:58.860 To bring
01:09:59.820 Us to
01:10:00.260 him
01:10:00.460 So I
01:10:01.700 Think all
01:10:02.120 Of these
01:10:02.440 People
01:10:02.800 Are
01:10:03.720 Little
01:10:05.340 Little
01:10:05.820 Micro dust
01:10:06.980 In a
01:10:07.860 Much larger
01:10:08.640 Galaxy
01:10:09.220 In a
01:10:10.600 New
01:10:10.780 Global
01:10:11.200 Trade
01:10:11.560 War
01:10:11.860 Run by
01:10:12.600 A guy
01:10:13.080 Who wants
01:10:13.900 An
01:10:14.080 American
01:10:14.560 Empire
01:10:15.100 Manifest
01:10:15.960 Destiny
01:10:16.420 And all
01:10:17.060 He can
01:10:17.360 Take
01:10:17.700 Well speaking
01:10:19.300 Of micro dust
01:10:20.200 And I'm
01:10:20.580 Loathe to
01:10:20.980 Give her
01:10:21.280 Any
01:10:21.460 Publicity
01:10:22.960 Whatsoever
01:10:23.720 Is
01:10:24.500 Ruby
01:10:24.800 Dalla
01:10:25.260 A campaign
01:10:27.320 I believe
01:10:28.060 You were
01:10:28.660 Associated
01:10:29.140 With or
01:10:29.520 Believe you're
01:10:30.000 No longer
01:10:30.440 Associated
01:10:31.000 With
01:10:31.280 Okay so
01:10:33.180 You're not
01:10:33.520 There anymore
01:10:34.380 She is
01:10:35.860 Running a
01:10:37.140 Very glossy
01:10:37.880 Social media
01:10:38.680 Campaign
01:10:39.300 Against
01:10:40.440 Trump
01:10:41.320 And suggesting
01:10:42.400 She's the
01:10:42.920 Best person
01:10:43.540 To deal
01:10:44.360 With trump
01:10:45.020 And
01:10:46.140 You know
01:10:47.980 Kind of
01:10:48.400 Wondering where
01:10:49.160 A lot of
01:10:49.500 The money
01:10:49.800 Is coming
01:10:50.220 From to
01:10:50.680 Do something
01:10:51.180 Like that
01:10:51.780 I don't
01:10:52.300 Know how
01:10:52.580 Terribly
01:10:53.000 Credible
01:10:53.500 It is
01:10:53.860 For the
01:10:54.660 Also
01:10:55.380 Rands
01:10:55.900 Like her
01:10:56.620 Does
01:10:57.520 Taking
01:10:57.940 Swings
01:10:58.400 At trump
01:10:58.920 And the
01:10:59.220 Others
01:10:59.500 Help her
01:11:00.080 Or is it
01:11:00.720 Just
01:11:01.040 Is she
01:11:01.800 Doing this
01:11:02.420 For some
01:11:02.820 Other
01:11:03.020 Purpose
01:11:03.520 I don't
01:11:05.020 Know
01:11:05.260 I don't
01:11:05.780 Know
01:11:06.060 And it's
01:11:06.520 An odd
01:11:06.900 Phenomenon
01:11:07.420 To watch
01:11:08.120 Her effect
01:11:08.900 On social
01:11:09.500 Media
01:11:09.880 Would be
01:11:10.740 To believe
01:11:11.240 That she
01:11:11.660 Was winning
01:11:12.040 This race
01:11:12.680 As you
01:11:13.640 And I
01:11:13.900 Know
01:11:14.120 400,000
01:11:14.940 People signed
01:11:15.560 Up to be
01:11:16.120 Liberal
01:11:16.520 Voters
01:11:17.500 In this
01:11:18.020 Upcoming
01:11:18.540 Race
01:11:19.380 We haven't
01:11:19.980 Seen a list
01:11:20.560 Yet
01:11:20.840 We don't
01:11:21.280 Know who
01:11:21.620 Supports
01:11:22.060 Who
01:11:22.320 But
01:11:23.200 Ruby
01:11:23.440 Dalla
01:11:23.860 And her
01:11:24.420 Team
01:11:24.740 I will
01:11:25.100 Give them
01:11:25.500 This
01:11:25.860 I have
01:11:26.660 Never seen
01:11:27.620 As
01:11:28.060 Sophisticated
01:11:29.220 And expensive
01:11:30.320 A social
01:11:30.900 Media
01:11:31.240 Campaign
01:11:31.820 In
01:11:32.180 Canadian
01:11:32.600 Politics
01:11:33.280 To effect
01:11:34.540 Within two
01:11:35.240 And a half
01:11:35.620 Three weeks
01:11:36.200 With a
01:11:36.780 Marginal
01:11:37.280 Candidate
01:11:37.920 Very interesting
01:11:38.920 To find out
01:11:39.760 Where the
01:11:39.980 Money is
01:11:40.300 Coming from
01:11:40.800 Okay
01:11:41.400 Final thing
01:11:42.220 Which is
01:11:43.420 Perhaps the
01:11:43.860 Most important
01:11:44.480 Thing of
01:11:44.960 All
01:11:45.180 In my
01:11:47.180 Own case
01:11:47.780 Speaking for
01:11:48.380 Myself
01:11:48.840 I've always
01:11:49.380 Loved
01:11:49.640 America
01:11:50.240 Loved
01:11:51.060 Americans
01:11:51.640 I've worked
01:11:52.180 On American
01:11:52.660 Campaigns
01:11:53.460 As you
01:11:53.740 Know
01:11:54.000 I can
01:11:55.960 Still cite
01:11:56.460 The Pledge
01:11:56.920 Of
01:11:57.040 Allegiance
01:11:57.540 From when
01:11:57.860 I lived
01:11:58.160 In Texas
01:11:58.700 You know
01:11:59.200 The whole
01:11:59.540 Bit
01:11:59.860 And I
01:12:00.640 Think most
01:12:01.060 Canadians
01:12:01.700 While we
01:12:02.620 Would
01:12:02.800 Occasionally
01:12:03.280 Have
01:12:03.460 Misgivings
01:12:04.180 About our
01:12:04.580 American
01:12:04.960 Neighbors
01:12:05.540 Had a
01:12:06.600 Feeling of
01:12:08.080 Friendship
01:12:09.660 Or some
01:12:10.420 Kind of
01:12:10.760 Bond
01:12:11.240 With America
01:12:12.500 That feels
01:12:13.640 Like that is
01:12:14.320 Now gone
01:12:15.220 Or going
01:12:16.160 And I
01:12:17.040 Wanted to
01:12:17.380 See what
01:12:17.740 You felt
01:12:18.300 Would be
01:12:18.740 The long
01:12:19.220 Term impact
01:12:20.160 Of all
01:12:20.900 Of this
01:12:21.160 I've got
01:12:21.440 A column
01:12:21.840 Coming out
01:12:22.460 In post
01:12:22.880 Media
01:12:23.160 Later today
01:12:24.120 Saying
01:12:25.100 I went
01:12:25.640 Looking
01:12:25.960 John
01:12:26.320 For hours
01:12:27.120 To find
01:12:28.200 Somebody
01:12:28.800 Who would
01:12:30.360 Defend
01:12:31.280 Canada
01:12:31.860 In the
01:12:32.460 United States
01:12:33.200 And I
01:12:34.140 Couldn't
01:12:34.360 Really find
01:12:34.940 Anybody
01:12:35.400 Elected
01:12:36.100 Or unelected
01:12:37.000 They don't
01:12:37.620 Really seem
01:12:38.160 To care
01:12:38.560 What Trump
01:12:39.100 Is doing
01:12:39.700 To us
01:12:40.300 And saying
01:12:40.780 About us
01:12:41.280 What's your
01:12:42.100 Feeling about
01:12:42.860 How Canadians
01:12:43.920 Are going to
01:12:44.380 Feel about
01:12:44.820 America
01:12:45.220 After all
01:12:45.720 This
01:12:46.000 I think
01:12:47.120 Canadians
01:12:47.740 At the
01:12:48.720 Heart of
01:12:49.080 It all
01:12:49.380 Resent
01:12:50.100 Americans
01:12:50.680 For electing
01:12:51.480 Donald Trump
01:12:52.080 And they
01:12:52.360 Don't
01:12:52.520 Understand
01:12:52.920 How that
01:12:53.360 Is possible
01:12:54.180 Or was
01:12:54.740 Possible
01:12:55.200 And
01:12:56.380 And yet
01:12:57.520 They are
01:12:58.480 Our neighbors
01:12:58.900 And our
01:12:59.280 Friends
01:12:59.620 And everybody
01:13:00.400 Has friends
01:13:01.120 In the
01:13:01.460 United States
01:13:02.040 That I
01:13:02.320 Know in
01:13:02.620 Canada
01:13:02.960 And they're
01:13:03.560 Not going
01:13:03.880 To stop
01:13:04.180 Being my
01:13:04.580 Friends
01:13:05.020 As to
01:13:06.620 Our view
01:13:07.600 Of their
01:13:07.900 Government
01:13:08.320 And their
01:13:08.940 Judgment
01:13:09.320 Politically
01:13:09.920 Yeah I
01:13:10.480 Think Canadians
01:13:11.080 Are looking
01:13:11.560 Very much
01:13:12.060 Down and
01:13:12.880 Very disappointed
01:13:14.040 At the
01:13:14.840 United States
01:13:15.380 Right now
01:13:15.840 And I'm
01:13:16.200 Not sure
01:13:16.680 I'm not
01:13:18.300 Sympathetic
01:13:18.820 To that
01:13:19.180 View
01:13:19.440 I don't
01:13:20.100 Understand
01:13:20.640 I don't
01:13:21.560 Understand
01:13:22.020 How
01:13:22.940 The
01:13:24.300 Largest
