00:03:27.800 sometimes in life you have to fight immigration so we can create a nation we don't have a nation

00:03:44.600 Can our nation defile any more betrayal?
00:03:49.280 Pour off the blow with stomach, not by those who were supposed to be unprotected.
00:03:55.220 We were told that our choice matters, that we vote for what we want.
00:04:01.120 Mind of all, they give our nation nothing, and we in return must mean there was nothing.
00:04:07.540 Let us go without our money, without our crime, without our vote, and let us see.
00:04:14.600 An immediate indication to the Titans

00:04:36.780 This country was built by our ancestors.
00:04:40.080 It was bled full by our ancestors.

00:05:55.800 boy

00:06:15.220 Oh God, please, won't you help me make it through

00:06:36.260 Yeah, here come the rooster
00:06:46.140 Yeah

00:06:56.760 No, no, you know he ain't gonna die 0.99
00:07:26.760 I don't care if he's here, legally or illegally.
00:07:34.120 If he thinks he's here to stay, he's wrong.
00:07:41.140 Because it's not his country and it never will be.
00:07:44.340 It's ours. 0.70
00:07:51.060 And it's ours by blood.
00:07:56.760 hello hello everybody welcome happy Wednesday I hope you guys had a long
00:08:11.160 weekend I totally forgot this week's a little bit messed up because of the long
00:08:14.700 weekend Victoria Day for anybody who's not in Canada and there was some
00:08:20.520 exciting things that happened on Victoria Day I'm unfortunate that I
00:08:24.100 I wasn't able to participate in the Dominion Society protests, or not even protests, it
00:08:30.480 was just a demonstration they did, and we're going to cover that.
00:08:35.320 But one of the big things that I wanted to cover today, because a lot of people don't
00:08:39.280 think it's a big deal, because the government is telling everybody that it's not that big
00:08:42.220 of a deal, but it's the cancellation or the, whatever you want to call it, the suspension
00:08:48.900 of the 86-year-old U.S. Defense Board
00:08:51.300 and, you know, what the implications could be for Canada.
00:08:55.240 I personally think that it all kind of goes along
00:08:57.760 with what I've been thinking is going to happen,
00:08:59.440 and I'm not the only one.
00:09:00.500 A lot of people think that we're, you know,
00:09:02.540 just aiming to basically align with Europe
00:09:04.720 and, you know, what do you want to call it,
00:09:08.160 join the EU and then have our one world government
00:09:13.400 that Carney has been working on
00:09:14.740 for pretty much his entire career.
00:09:16.280 so there's a lot of little nuggets in that that are kind of interesting and you know obviously
00:09:23.240 there's going to be some follow-up from that whether you like America or not and whether
00:09:25.920 you think Canada you know is better off without America or not the truth is that we as of right
00:09:32.400 now we do need them what is this opening up on my thing I always get updates at the worst possible
00:09:37.580 time yes I don't want that right now so yeah so we're going to cover that but first of all I'm
00:09:43.180 going to share with you there was the deport report as well as the good things that happened
00:09:46.980 on victoria day like the dominion society's um you know demonstration there was also some bad
00:09:52.900 behavior which we can come to expect every victoria day i know for myself i because like i said i
00:09:58.080 totally forgot that it was victoria day this weekend um which is kind of sad but you know
00:10:03.540 whatever it is what it is um i heard on i think it was the friday night i heard like you know
00:10:09.580 fireworks and but it was just like one out of like they weren't like all clustered together
00:10:13.440 it was like one off one off one off right and honestly I'm not gonna lie I thought it might
00:10:19.100 be gunshots um but then you know after hearing them after that then I realized it was fireworks
00:10:24.100 but I was just like isn't that sad that like the first thing when you hear like fireworks that you
00:10:29.180 think it might be gunshots that's that's uh that's the Canada we live in now so anyways let's share
00:10:35.120 this uh hold on i'm gonna open it so the deport report reported this is victoria day was ruined
00:10:41.280 uh in toronto by immigrants five individuals were arrested after firing fireworks into a large crowd
00:10:46.240 this happens so often i swear to god i hear about stories like this every single victoria day
00:10:51.500 um i guess you know you can kind of sum it up to uh darwin's uh theory of uh is it darwin
00:10:59.140 survival of the fittest um that you know again if you don't have too many brains but i mean i guess
00:11:04.980 the unfortunate part about them shooting them at other people is you may be the unfortunate
00:11:08.740 victim of being hit by one and you had no intentions of so you know but it's not very
00:11:14.780 big brain activity is what I'm saying I guess
00:11:34.980 Throwback to, what, 2008, uh, you know, music, I guess you could say.
00:11:47.980 Yeah, just shooting them into the crowd, no biggie.
00:11:57.980 They said five got arrested, but I wonder how many of them really should have been arrested.
00:12:20.740 So a nice fun family activity. If you wanted to take your kids for Victoria Day, that's
00:12:25.080 what you would be encountering. But let's get to the good stuff before we go on to the,
00:12:32.600 the main content of this little stream here. So Victoria Day with the Dominion Society.
00:12:39.960 Wiretap posted a thread that I thought was really nice, just talking about because there was a lot
00:12:44.600 of, share this, there was a lot of, you know, comments, obviously, from the, you know, either
00:12:49.800 CIVNAC groups, the conservative groups, or, you know, the out-and-out liberal groups about how,
00:12:55.620 you know, the Dominion Society is just wasting their time. They're just a bunch of, you know,
00:12:59.180 incels or people with no jobs and stuff like that, given that this was on a holiday Monday.
00:13:03.640 So I'm not sure how that, you know, affects anything, really. And, you know, people do work
00:13:09.180 and have days off. I know maybe in, you know, communism, that doesn't happen. But these people
00:13:13.680 don't really believe in the true form of communism. They think they know what communism is. But
00:13:17.420 anyways, but they don't. So this is a picture of the three main, sorry, the founders of the
00:13:24.940 Dominion Society, Greg, Ken, and Daniel. And like I said, they did a demonstration in Hamilton
00:13:30.500 just to kind of promote the resurrection of, whoopsie, let's open this one, of the Sir John
00:13:37.780 A statue that I believe was taken down. So wiretap goes through it step by step. They,
00:13:43.520 sorry the 100 plus members plus the three founders of the Dominion Society were at Victory Park in
00:13:49.460 Hamilton um and then they defiantly marched into enemy territory to confront the erasure of Canada's
00:13:56.140 founding father Sir John A Macdonald and a lot of people too they don't like Sir John A Macdonald
00:13:59.900 they you know I heard one you know person say oh he was a drunk and all this stuff like show me a
00:14:05.240 perfect politician like I would like to know and and how do you know again history is written by
00:14:09.960 winners right so like it's rewritten all the time so how do you know were you there
00:14:13.560 that's my question so anyways here's a short video
00:14:21.080 all right well thank you everyone for coming today uh it looks like you're pretty concerned
00:14:27.080 out too bad about the wind weather uh ended up being nice to us today look this uh short and sweet
00:14:32.760 Often times people think that we live in an inhistoric type of meaninglessness and indifference.
00:14:42.760 Well today we're here to make history.
00:14:45.760 I don't recall a time where there's been a professional group like this out doing something like this in quite a while.
00:14:54.760 Oh that was, sorry, that was it.
00:14:57.760 And then here's some pictures of them down there wearing their Dominion Society swag.
00:15:03.760 There we go.
00:15:04.760 And then this is the flag.
00:15:09.120 And then this was funny because Lee Stewie shared this with us.
00:15:14.880 And this guy, we don't know whether he was there as a like a plant or if he's just a 0.99
00:15:19.320 nosy fucking boomer, liberal neighbor. 0.98
00:15:22.480 But he was, you know, they're calling him a brainwashed local, which I would agree. 1.00
00:15:26.640 even define what a Canadian is stormed the scene screaming racist and fascist 0.64
00:15:31.260 at everyone in sight that's their favorite go-to words and like I said I
00:15:34.460 you know would like them to look at you know the actual historical definition of
00:15:39.360 these two things you would these people wouldn't know fascism if it hit them
00:15:42.420 right square in the face so because they don't they don't read the history like
00:15:46.200 the true history they read basically the you know propaganda history that we get
00:15:50.960 taught in schools and stuff like that so ironically he was the only one hurling 0.99
00:15:54.480 racial slurs and branding Daniel Tyree as a white fucking cracker but again 0.99
00:15:59.220 that's not a hate crime and it's not you know it's not racist because you're 0.99
00:16:02.420 white so this is the guy here and people were saying like if you look at the
00:16:16.240 sticker on his thing it says no war except the class war again so he's your typical communist
00:16:25.620 who believes that you know they're they're they're so unfortunate even though I bet you this guy owns
00:16:31.360 a home if not one or two he's probably living comfortably on his boomer you know whatever he
00:16:36.720 gets his boomer pensions and all that kind of shit but they all they all think that the reason
00:16:41.720 why other people are so unfortunate is because of you know capitalism and because of the things and 0.84
00:16:47.280 that's not I mean yeah there's a lot of really rich people in this world that maybe shouldn't
00:16:51.920 be as rich as they are but that's not why other people are poor you know what I mean like again
00:16:56.740 you make your own thing so they're they're thinking is backwards and Daniel has a good
00:17:01.680 point here as far as don't engage with them it's not even worth it like sometimes I'll get into a
00:17:05.780 little you know online slap fight with some people but then at the end of the day when you get to a
00:17:09.580 certain point it's like not even worth it because it's like you're not going to change the brain
00:17:12.680 wash and some people are so stuck in their ideology um it's all they have it's their 0.83
00:17:17.020 religion right it's like telling a muslim not to believe in muhammad like it they just totally 0.99
00:17:21.520 lose their shit right so it's pointless at some point at sorry at certain points of the 0.99
00:17:26.320 conversation you might as well just disengage am i right you can call us whatever we want 1.00
00:17:31.920 racist sure all right perfect so you're okay with that that doesn't hurt your feelings really 1.00
00:17:37.420 like what what have you been called fascist long list of names idiot i'm really fascists make me 1.00
00:17:44.140 really angry his hand is shaking we're not because he's angry um it's because he's afraid and he's 0.99
00:17:50.460 trying to get internet up dudes and uh the aspats of all his liberal uh commie friends because he 0.83
00:17:57.980 did uh something he stood up to the big bad nazi racist fascists um all by himself and you know so 0.92
00:18:04.940 this is why he's shaking because he's scared shitless but you know he really desperately 0.98
00:18:08.700 wants those ass pats from everybody so he's going to do it anyway what is what i would also like to 0.99
00:18:14.080 say what is it what is it like what is a fascist fascist is a it's a uh nationalist usually racist 1.00
00:18:23.640 uh usually religious anti okay now what is a canadian
00:18:29.240 not such a hard question sir
00:18:34.720 what is a Canadian
00:18:36.580 you tell me
00:18:38.460 the guy across the street
00:18:41.680 is a Canadian
00:18:42.400 I teach school
00:18:44.080 so I teach kids named Muhammad
00:18:47.680 I teach kids named 0.98
00:18:49.180 don't touch me
00:18:51.460 seriously
00:18:52.940 I'm surrounded by people here
00:18:55.540 it's always like don't touch me
00:18:57.020 don't touch me when somebody just like barely even like blows on them right because again
00:19:01.240 they're trying to they're very good at um rage baiting they're very good at victimhood you know 0.99
00:19:07.940 what i mean like playing the victim because somebody has to be here to talk to the fucking 0.98
00:19:11.780 right you're free to leave right i am free to leave you're not holding you here no i know 1.00
00:19:16.260 i want to be here because i want to interrupt what okay so then shut your fat fucking mouth 1.00
00:19:20.540 and watch from the distance or take your lumps 1.00
00:19:23.100 you know they act this way too because they're afraid right because they do know
00:19:35.120 that there is a growing uh sentiment towards nationalism in canada it's everywhere it's not
00:19:40.200 just in canada it's growing all over the west and these people are afraid that number one a lot of
00:19:44.800 them are afraid that you know their source of income like they work for these ngos or these
00:19:48.240 anti, you know, racists like Antifa or, you know, those associated organizations. And they're worried
00:19:54.740 that their number one, their funding is going to be pulled because guess what, people aren't as
00:19:58.380 racist as they want us to seem. And the other thing is, too, is that they're afraid of, you know,
00:20:03.140 that they're going to be on the other side of the coin so that, you know, if again, the big bad
00:20:07.980 fascists win, and there's enough support behind them, then these people are going to be on the
00:20:12.980 flip side, and they're going to be the ones that are ostracized and, you know, lose their job or
00:20:16.600 whatever it is they want to happen to us nationalists so that's what they're really
00:20:20.240 afraid of it's you know not like he might be afraid that there's a bunch of guys around and
00:20:25.040 stuff like that but they have no history of violence there was no intention of any violence
00:20:29.200 was going to happen there he's just like i said more afraid of the fact that well he's a he's a 0.90
00:20:34.200 puss he's a wimp number one and they're more afraid of that this is going to get attention 0.75
00:20:37.700 which is why they try to shut it down all the time sorry today i like i said i'm messed up today so 0.95
00:20:42.340 my language sounds a little bit like uh i don't know what i'm talking about and i probably don't
00:20:45.900 half of the time but anyways because they they want to label you as you know they they want you
00:20:58.360 to fit to the label that they've given you so just ignore them act like they're you know little kids 0.99
00:21:03.220 that are just being a minor annoyance you're a cracker you're a racist bro i'm racist yes yeah 0.95
00:21:09.160 I'd like it to be known that like I said Daniel Tyree has never I've ever never heard I've spoken 0.98
00:21:21.520 to him many times I've never heard once a racist slur come out of his mouth other people yeah not
00:21:26.320 people there but I've heard definitely other Canadians say stuff including myself but I've
00:21:31.560 never heard hi what do you want I've never heard Daniel say anything so the guy is very grossly
00:21:37.240 misinformed um so this is the march into gore park uh daniel tarry took a stand upon the very
00:21:43.720 pillar where sir john a mcdonald once stood um and they put a cardboard cutout of him just to
00:21:49.480 kind of remind people of what it would look like if our statue was back there like it should be
00:21:55.320 oh let's is this one oh i am sharing this with you right yes i am
00:21:58.920 we have had enough we are getting organized we are getting active and we are going to take our
00:22:05.320 We are proud of our history and we're done apologizing.
00:22:35.320 Bring back Mac!
00:23:03.320 Without this great man, this country would not exist.
00:23:09.320 He defied the impossible.
00:23:11.320 Everyone told him it could not be done.
00:23:13.320 The colonies could not be united.
00:23:15.320 Economic interests said it couldn't be done.
00:23:18.320 American interests told him it could not be done.
00:23:21.320 And he did it anyways.
00:23:27.320 Now we take out this bad boy.
00:23:29.320 So that was that little speech, which I thought was awesome.
00:23:42.540 And the funny thing is, is that people get so upset about this hundred people, you know, demonstration.
00:23:47.600 But yet, like when the lefties were protesting about taking down these statues, that was totally OK.
00:23:52.660 Right. You didn't have people running up to them and screaming at them and calling them names and all kinds of stuff like that.
00:23:58.280 That's totally okay, right?
00:24:00.440 So then they went to, they basically sang the original Canadian anthem.
00:24:07.520 Hold on.
00:24:28.280 We see Thee rise, the truth are strong and free.
00:24:35.280 From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for Thee.
00:24:43.280 God, keep our land glorious and free.
00:24:51.280 Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee
00:24:59.420 Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee
00:25:08.200 So that was the Dominion Society's demonstration, like I said, on Monday, Victoria Day.
00:25:18.060 again I keep forgetting that today's Wednesday and that's why I'm all discombobulated about what's
00:25:21.720 going on um and uh yeah I probably should should have rescheduled this till I had more time to
00:25:27.900 prepare but I'm trying to keep to a consistent schedule even though it will be changing soon
00:25:32.140 I'll probably have to stream a little bit later on Wednesdays um but whatever it doesn't matter
00:25:35.980 um again I just a lot of times uh you know I do it instead of uploading a video just because I
00:25:42.020 like to interact with people and then I don't have to edit it uh then it is what it is right
00:25:46.640 Okay, so we're going to move on to this whole, let's share this, the suspension of the Canada-U.S. Defense Board citing Ottawa's failure to meet commitments and a direct rebuke of Carney's Davos speech.
00:26:03.460 so we're going to go through we're going to watch a couple different videos I've been watching a lot
00:26:07.840 of uh commentators takes on this and you know I've read a couple different articles I guess
00:26:13.720 you could say about you know what people's opinions are on this and again it depends on
00:26:17.940 what side of the political uh framework you're on I guess um you know I did see a lot of
00:26:24.020 conservative supporters or conservatives um complaining that this is like basically
00:26:30.980 calling out the U.S., you know, getting upset with the U.S. because, you know, how dare you do this
00:26:36.460 to Canada, but there is a lot of things behind it, and, you know, as much as, like I said, I love
00:26:41.800 Canada, and obviously I love Canada more than I love the U.S., I think that a lot of false information
00:26:47.600 is going around there, and this is a direct result of inaction by the, at least the last 15 years of
00:26:53.540 the governments that have been in for the last 15 years, you know, Harper and Trudeau, I guess,
00:26:59.320 And now Carney, who's like doing it in like one year, he's like destroying everything within the context of one year, which is pretty impressive.
00:27:07.700 But yeah, there's a lot of things behind it. It's not just a matter of Trump.
00:27:12.080 Yes, Trump is the kind of character who probably takes criticism as a personal attack.
00:27:18.860 But the truth of the matter is, you know, defense wise, without the U.S., Canada would be cooked.
00:27:24.880 And it's been that way for quite a long time. 0.91
00:27:26.880 And so, you know, when you're in that kind of an environment, you might want to be careful with the language that you use against the other leader and kind of understand who you're dealing with and not, you know, turn it into a fucking dick measuring contest, especially when you don't really have the stuff to back it up, i.e. Canada doesn't. 0.88
00:27:45.780 um so the this was the tweet from the undersecretary so this is the gentleman who
00:27:52.880 is the u.s representative for this joint board um and he had basically on monday because again
00:27:59.440 monday was not a holiday in the u.s he put out this tweet basically terminating the relationship
00:28:05.160 or terminating the pausing sorry not terminating let's let's be accurate here pausing the permanent
00:28:10.680 Joint Board on Defense to reassess. So he says, a strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over
00:28:16.480 rhetoric benefits us all. And I want you to remember this because we're going to go over
00:28:21.520 some of the, you know, why they're spreading so much rhetoric and what they're the reason for
00:28:27.060 doing it. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments.
00:28:32.820 If you don't know, the defense commitments was, I believe at one point in time, it was three point
00:28:38.420 something of your GDP was supposed to be or no now it is sorry I think it was two percent
00:28:43.260 of your GDP was supposed to be spent on defense Canada has consistently failed to meet that target
00:28:48.820 and they've consistently just made promises to the U.S. that they were going to meet that target
00:28:54.580 but they've failed to do so so it's been just a bunch of lip service for the last 15 or so years
00:28:59.680 and they've now at the Hague there's a new Hague there's a Hague agreement now I believe it's new
00:29:06.940 Well, it is new because they've increased the spending.
00:29:10.700 They're expecting all NATO allies to now spend 3.5, I believe it is, percent of their GDP on military.
00:29:18.480 So Canada's not even hitting two, although I believe they said they were going to hit two this year.
00:29:23.380 But that's the old target.
00:29:24.960 So between that, the fact that Canada doesn't take its defense seriously 0.94
00:29:28.980 because they have allowed so many different Chinese infiltrations of our government, 0.80
00:29:34.300 of all these, you know, secrets that have been stolen, lab things.
00:29:39.420 Again, they don't take immigration seriously.
00:29:41.640 They let people in without checking their records.
00:29:43.300 So there's a lot of different things to be concerned about
00:29:45.400 from the U.S.'s perspective.
00:29:47.700 It's not just the defense spending, although I think that was probably...
00:29:51.760 Actually, well, it was the Davos speech, which we're going to watch as well.
00:29:55.840 Sorry, I think I'm losing my voice.
00:29:58.000 I don't know why I haven't been talking that much.
00:29:59.340 um so yeah they're just basically it was the davo speech was kind of the nail that um you know the
00:30:07.960 final nail in the coffin i guess you could say so the department of war i didn't even know they
00:30:12.940 had a department of war i thought it was the dod department of defense i don't know is that a new
00:30:16.400 thing since trump came in department of war is pausing the permanent joint board on defense to
00:30:22.220 reassess how this form benefits shared north american defense that was tweet one of three
00:30:27.940 But the best part is he includes the Davos speech.
00:30:33.600 Jesus Christ.
00:30:35.020 He includes a Davos speech in his tweets so people can, you know, reference it.
00:30:39.220 He said, we can no longer avoid the gaps between rhetoric and reality.
00:30:42.360 And the reason he said rhetoric again is because the whole speech at Davos was just pure rhetoric, right?
00:30:48.080 Real powers must sustain our rhetoric with shared defense and security responsibilities.
00:30:52.140 and then he said delivering on shared continental defense begins by recognizing our shared geography
00:30:58.720 again that's something that you can't get away get away from Canada like there's there's nothing
00:31:03.200 you can do about that that's nothing you can't get away from that only by investing in our own
00:31:07.660 defense capabilities will Americans and Canadians be safe secure and prosperous right so that was
00:31:12.100 basically uh his you know his tweet but that's that was the official statement uh pausing the
00:31:19.180 joint board. So then I asked Grok, what is the history of this board? You know, what, because
00:31:27.320 I've, in a lot of the commentary videos that I watched, and a lot of the articles that I read,
00:31:32.940 they talk about how this is an 86 year agreement and all this stuff. So I wanted to get a bit of
00:31:37.220 the history just for, you know, brevity. So this is what Grok told me again, it's Grok, so take it
00:31:43.380 with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure it's accurate based on the other things I read and
00:31:47.940 listen to. The Canada-U.S. Joint Defense Board refers to the Permanent Joint Board on Defense.
00:31:53.740 That's it in French. I cannot speak French, so I'm not even going to try it.
00:31:57.580 It is the Senior Advisory Body for Continental Military Defense and Security Cooperation between
00:32:02.240 Canada and the United States. Establishment was in 1940 through the Augsdenburg Agreement,
00:32:08.220 a short joint press release issued by Franklin D. Roosevelt, which was the U.S. President at the
00:32:13.360 time, and then the Canadian Prime Minister, William Lyon McKenzie, and this was in Augsdenburg, New
00:32:18.360 York. This occurred during the early stages of World War II, with Canada already at war, but the
00:32:23.200 U.S. still neutral. So Canada, because I guess Canada was part of the British, the monarchy at
00:32:28.640 that time, I believe, or at least, I guess they still are when you think about it. So anyways,
00:32:35.340 Canada's loyalty was to Britain, so they were at war already. The U.S. had not joined yet.
00:32:39.980 Roosevelt had previously pledged in a 1938 speech at Queen's University in Kingston
00:32:44.240 that the U.S. would not stand idly by if Canadian territory were threatened.
00:32:48.480 The meeting was prompted by urgent concerns over North American defense
00:32:51.440 amid the fall of France and the Battle of Britain.
00:32:55.260 The board's initial purpose was to study and recommend on joint defense problems
00:32:58.700 related to sea, land, and air issues.
00:33:01.540 It consisted of two national sections, U.S. and Canadian,
00:33:04.780 each with civilian chair, plus military and foreign service representatives.
00:33:08.080 It had no executive power but provided high-level policy, advice, and recommendations to both governments.
00:33:14.060 And one of the MPs, because Kearney appointed a board to deal with the new defense requirements
00:33:24.880 and the U.S.'s request for Canada to improve its military.
00:33:29.200 And Lisa Raitt, I believe her name is, is on that. 0.59
00:33:33.040 And she basically, same as Erin O'Toole. 0.99
00:33:34.620 And Aaron O'Toole was kind of spinning out on X or on online about, you know, how this is, you know, it's just anti-Trump shit, anti-Trump rhetoric. 0.98
00:33:45.160 Again, not really helpful, but, you know, he's a little bit of a tool that they don't call him Aaron O'Fool or O'Fool for nothing. 0.97
00:33:52.760 So, yeah, but they basically said, this is not a big deal.
00:33:55.960 Don't worry about it.
00:33:56.800 It's not going to have any effect, but it really is.
00:33:58.880 Right.
00:33:59.200 And they don't want you to do that.
00:34:00.640 So the peak activity of this was during World War II.
00:34:03.720 they met 42 times in the first five years and they played a highly influential role due to the
00:34:08.680 wartime urgency so it goes on about the cold war period but basically the later decades to present
00:34:15.400 they continue continued as so this is after world war ii and after the joint wars and stuff like
00:34:21.200 this so the later decades of it into the current times as of well prior to monday they continued
00:34:27.940 as a strategic level forum meeting semi-annually more recently they've been meeting about once a
00:34:33.320 year alternating between ottawa and washington and other locations membership has evolved to
00:34:37.980 include mostly civilian defense defense department representatives with military leaders
00:34:41.840 state or global affairs homeland security and public safety and others attending as needed
00:34:46.680 it focuses on bilateral priorities uh homeland or continental defense emerging threats and
00:34:52.000 interoperability uh it has hosted over 240 meetings as of late 2024 um but i wanted to talk about uh
00:35:00.040 this here because this obviously announced they were pausing it um and they do say in here that
00:35:06.620 uh they're they're saying that it they want to reassess how to perform benefits share or shared
00:35:12.700 north american defense because canada's defense spending procurement delays we'll talk about that
00:35:17.860 too and recruitment challenges despite canada reaching nato's two percent gdp target using
00:35:22.880 broad accounting they did this by fudging the numbers a little bit um by including the coast
00:35:28.340 Guard in the military by including federal employees that are not deployed, like they
00:35:32.760 wouldn't be deployed in military numbers. So they didn't really do it on the up and up,
00:35:38.420 if you know what I mean. Operational cooperation via NORAD continues unaffected as of now. But
00:35:45.280 if they don't buy the planes from the US, they are kind of waffling on an agreement they had to buy
00:35:51.860 F-95, are they called, fighter jets, from the US. They're now looking at buying them from Europe,
00:35:59.500 possibly. So if they don't end up buying the US ones, from my understanding, and I think they'll
00:36:03.860 touch on it in one of the videos, is that it will affect NORAD, and that may end up being also
00:36:09.080 dismantled, I guess. So the overall significance is basically that it's the longest running defense
00:36:14.520 relationship between any two countries. It helped integrate Canadian and US defense efforts during
00:36:19.700 the cold war and beyond and the truth of the matter is is that yes in european countries but
00:36:24.040 they're a lot smaller keep in mind they do have you know land borders with other countries and
00:36:28.540 stuff like that but canada has you know the canada and the u.s have the largest uh land border and
00:36:33.960 most of it is unsecured um because it's just impossible to have somebody at every single
00:36:38.740 entry point so i believe it is you know really important especially since canada's been relying
00:36:44.600 on the U.S. for a very long time to protect them. And I think now is where Donald Trump and whatever
00:36:51.820 the U.S. is saying, okay, enough of us carrying the weight for you guys while you go out there
00:36:56.460 and spread rhetoric about the U.S. and about the leader, right? So this was funny. Ryan Gerritsen
00:37:04.280 tweeted this out saying, I wonder why the Pentagon walked away from the Canada U.S. Defense Board.
00:37:08.400 The media all day has even tried pretending to be naive as to why. They haven't even really
00:37:14.040 reported on it because uh they know right they're funded by the government they really it makes
00:37:19.340 Canada look bad no matter how you try to spin it uh so they're not really touching on it that much
00:37:23.840 and it's also because as he says they do know exactly why it's this man right here who has
00:37:28.640 been for a year purposely sabotaging our relationship with the U.S. uh the U.S. has
00:37:33.600 had to listen to Kearney for a year telling the world that our relationship is over and this video
00:37:37.300 was just an example the days the days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollars to
00:37:45.180 the united states are over so who's going to defend us then mark who's going to help us who's 0.90
00:37:53.720 going to defend us if the u.s is not going to defend us who you're going to get china to come
00:37:57.540 on over here and defend us from a russian invasion or vice versa is that what's going to happen
00:38:01.640 because we all know the canadian military is definitely not able to do that any longer
00:38:06.480 the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order
00:38:17.780 our old relationship so there's that phrase again he likes to use that a lot the new world order and
00:38:23.160 that was a conspiracy theory a couple years ago right and you can still even you know find
00:38:28.020 documents that still label it as a conspiracy theory relationship with the united states
00:38:32.040 a relationship based on steadily increasing integration is over.
00:38:37.540 We recognize that the relationship that Canada has had with the United States,
00:38:45.060 one that for more than 40 years has been based on steadily deepening integration, is over.
00:38:53.000 From free trade deal through to...
00:38:55.040 So he's saying it's over. He keeps saying it's over, it's over, it's over.
00:38:58.120 Kuzma, deepening integration in military aspects. And that process of deepening integration
00:39:07.580 is over. The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration
00:39:12.880 of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over. As I've stressed repeatedly,
00:39:20.740 our old relationship based on steadily increasing integration is over.
00:39:26.360 of trade that was anchored on the United States. These are all different speeches he gave too.
00:39:30.420 This isn't just like repeating the same one. That we as a country have relied on since the
00:39:35.440 end of the Second World War. A system that, while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity to our
00:39:42.680 country. I don't know what the hell he's talking about here. So we've defended on the U.S. since
00:39:48.300 after World War II. Yes. But why is that? At any time, Canada could have decided that they wanted
00:39:55.500 to be less dependent on the U.S. and build up a strong military,
00:39:58.700 spend the money that's required to, you know, build that.
00:40:01.260 And I know a lot of people are going to say,
00:40:02.560 well, the U.S. prevents, you know, they would prevent Canada
00:40:05.200 from becoming, you know, stronger than them.
00:40:07.980 But we've never negotiated from a position of strength.
00:40:10.580 We've always been negotiating from a position of weakness,
00:40:12.700 and the U.S. knows that.
00:40:14.280 So, I mean, how can you even come up here and show your face 1.00
00:40:17.580 and say this shit when you've been riding on the coattails 1.00
00:40:19.600 of the U.S. for defense since World War II? 1.00
00:40:22.680 decades that system is over that the old relationship with the United States that
00:40:29.460 we've had is over the truth is over the last few decades Canada has neither
00:40:34.860 spent enough on our defense nor invested enough in our defense industries we've
00:40:40.200 relied too heavily on our geography and others to protect us this has created
00:40:45.800 vulnerabilities that we can no longer afford and dependencies that we can no
00:40:50.620 longer sustained so he the way he's framing it obviously is to the you know he wants the
00:40:55.740 canadian support like it's anti-trump rhetoric it's anti-american rhetoric like you know support
00:40:59.700 canada and that but what he doesn't tell people is that how are you going to you know how are we
00:41:05.520 going to build the military stuff here how are we going to so he's not that's not the intention
00:41:09.920 right the intention is they don't want to do business with the u.s at all and they want to
00:41:12.740 do it with europe because again his goal is for us to join the european union so he wants us to do
00:41:18.380 business with Europe. Now, it's not that they're going to make Canada a place where we develop or
00:41:24.280 we, you know, make our own planes, or we make our own, you know, military defenses, like weapons and 0.95
00:41:28.460 all that shit. No, no, no, he wants it so that we're depending on Europe, because again, that 0.75
00:41:33.060 is the ultimate goal. So that was, you know, that's a handful of speeches that he's made,
00:41:38.540 basically indicating that our relationship with the US is pretty much over. And then he wonders
00:41:44.040 why they haven't been able to you know negotiate a trade agreement right okay so next uh this
00:41:51.080 youtube video is basically i think it's ai generated i don't know but it's called war
00:41:55.480 briefs report and they basically go over the u.s defense partnership and now it's collapsed and
00:42:01.480 basically in point form what it is and you know what the intention um of it was and the history
00:42:07.480 and stuff like that so we're gonna watch that just because i think it'll explain it a lot better than
00:42:10.840 I have. In January, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stood at the World Economic Forum in Davos
00:42:17.720 and told a global audience that the old rules-based order was over. He warned that middle
00:42:24.780 powers could no longer rely on what he called hegemons, and he delivered the line that defined 0.87
00:42:31.040 his foreign policy debut, declaring that if you are not at the table, you are on the menu.
00:42:37.160 This week, the United States showed Mark Carney what the menu actually looks like.
00:42:42.140 The Pentagon has suspended American participation in the Permanent Joint Board on Defense.
00:42:48.040 That is the 86-year-old institution that has coordinated North American military cooperation since the
00:42:54.680 Congratulations, Carney. You did something noteworthy. Congratulations.
00:42:59.400 Dark days of World War II.
00:43:01.640 It is the first suspension in the board's entire history.
00:43:04.920 The reason given by Washington was direct and unsparing.
00:43:09.840 Canada has spent the past year lecturing the United States about a new world order
00:43:14.200 while spending less on its own defense than nearly every serious alliance member.
00:43:19.420 And after a long pattern of speeches without follow-through,
00:43:22.880 the United States is done absorbing the gap.
00:43:25.900 So how did the oldest Joint Defense Board on the continent end up frozen this week?
00:43:30.680 And what is the... 0.98
00:43:31.560 God damn, they weren't kidding around, eh? 0.99
00:43:33.320 And they're using harsh words. 0.99
00:43:34.620 But you know what? Canada had it coming. I got to say they've had it coming.
00:43:38.280 Like, and I say this to a lot of people who, you know, want to solely blame Trump for this.
00:43:43.160 Trump was in the office before and they, you know, I guess it was Trudeau at the time that had to deal with him and stuff like that.
00:43:49.740 Canada has never sent to a competent leader to negotiate with Trump.
00:43:55.820 Anybody that's competent, right? They end up coming back with their tail stuck between their legs.
00:43:59.720 And I get it that, you know, Canada, again, is not negotiating from a position of strength.
00:44:03.880 but you have to at least you know present that you have to know how to play the game and none
00:44:08.280 of these people do and i think it's because they just don't want to to be honest with you
00:44:11.180 um but like what was it who was our was it christia freeland that was the one that was 0.98
00:44:16.420 in charge of the defense of canada or whatever that did the negotiations now it's this fucking 0.98
00:44:21.100 anita anand or whatever like come on how can he take us seriously you're sending two women that 0.99
00:44:26.940 have no fucking clue about anything uh to negotiate so you know again i don't know what 0.98
00:44:32.780 you expected. Message Washington is sending to every other ally watching this unfold from a 0.99
00:44:38.240 distance. The announcement came on Monday, May 18th from Undersecretary of Defense for Policy
00:44:44.600 Elbridge Colby, posted from his office at the Pentagon and pinned to his official social media
00:44:53.380 account. The language was deliberately blunt. A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over
00:45:00.260 rhetoric benefits us all, Colby wrote. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make
00:45:05.400 credible progress on its defense commitments. The Department of War is pausing the Permanent
00:45:10.540 Joint Board on Defense to reassess how this forum benefits shared North American defense.
00:45:15.880 He continued in a follow-up post, we can no longer avoid the gaps between rhetoric and reality.
00:45:22.140 Real powers must sustain their rhetoric with shared defense and security responsibilities. 0.98
00:45:26.780 So he's basically saying what I said, like, if you're going to talk shit about the U.S. and constantly shit on the U.S., then you better be able to, you know, put your money on the table. 0.98
00:45:35.280 Like, you better be able to kind of defend that. 0.99
00:45:37.100 Like, same thing as, you know, like, your mouth is cashing or what is it? 1.00
00:45:41.360 Your mouth is writing checks that your ass can't cash. 0.99
00:45:43.260 That kind of thing is basically what they're saying in a more political way. 1.00
00:45:48.040 Delivering on shared continental defense begins by recognizing our shared geography.
00:45:52.620 Only by investing in our own defense capabilities will Americans and Canadians be safe, secure, and prosperous.
00:46:01.040 Hey, JQ.
00:46:01.800 To make the message unmistakable, Colby attached the full transcript of Mark Carney's January speech at Davos.
00:46:09.660 He also posted a photograph of himself meeting with Pete Hoekstra, the United States Ambassador to Canada, in the corridors of the Pentagon.
00:46:18.180 The two had clearly aligned on a single position.
00:46:21.180 We are working closely to ensure every NATO partner, including Canada, reaches the Hague Summit's 3.5% gross domestic product defense spending target.
00:46:32.640 So that's what I was trying to tell you guys earlier. The Hague defense budget or the goal is 3.5 of GDP.
00:46:39.760 Colby wrote alongside the photograph.
00:46:42.060 A vital investment for North American and Arctic defense.
00:46:46.600 Translation. Words without checks no longer cut it in Washington.
00:46:51.180 To understand why this suspension matters, consider the institution that just got frozen.
00:46:56.720 The Permanent Joint Board on Defense was created in August 1940 by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King.
00:47:06.940 The Ogdensburg Agreement, signed at a railway station in upstate New York, established the board as the principal forum for coordinating North American defense planning.
00:47:16.980 It was born in the shadow of Nazi Germany's invasion of Western Europe, when Canada and the United States needed to integrate their military thinking against an existential threat at the gates of Europe.
00:47:29.900 And this is why I'm confused. If this is something we needed back then, and I understand that we have technology now, and obviously society has advanced quite a bit since then, but our geography hasn't changed.
00:47:42.320 So why would this be any different? Like, why would we be dependent on a country overseas, or, you know, say China or whatever, to defend us against somebody who's right there at our back door? Like, why wouldn't you want to work on a partnership? And again, if you if you're able to negotiate from a position of strength, or whatever, like even if they were to say that, yeah, we can meet these goals, we can do this, you'd be in a better position to kind of get your way.
00:48:07.260 but considering we haven't contributed our fair share to defense we our military is a joke now 1.00
00:48:13.000 they're filling it up with you know trannies and women and people that have no allegiance to canada 0.97
00:48:17.900 like that's not a serious military so why would the you like you know what i mean how can you sit 0.99
00:48:22.740 there and talk shit about the u.s when if today a country like russia was to choose to invade us 0.99
00:48:28.940 who would be fucking protecting us canada couldn't defend itself 0.99
00:48:33.340 For the next 86 years, the board met through every major geopolitical storm the continent 0.98
00:48:42.420 faced. It survived the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis. It survived Vietnam, the breakdown
00:48:50.120 of the Bretton Woods system, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. It survived the wars in Iraq
00:48:56.180 and Afghanistan and the entire post-September 11th restructuring of American homeland defense.
00:49:03.340 It survived softwood lumber disputes, the Keystone Pipeline fight, and decades of trade friction.
00:49:10.740 The board coordinated the Arctic security architecture.
00:49:13.200 And somehow Kearney was able to destroy all that in a year. 0.94
00:49:18.020 That's pretty fucking impressive, I guess. 0.93
00:49:19.800 But, you know, you never know what you're going to get with these globalists, I guess. 0.93
00:49:23.160 ...and the planning that supports North American Aerospace Defense Command operations from Colorado to the Yukon.
00:49:29.380 It has never been paused. Not once.
00:49:33.320 Until this week, for Washington to suspend the oldest active bilateral defense institution
00:49:38.940 in North American history is not a routine diplomatic spat.
00:49:43.440 It is a deliberate signal that the rules of the alliance have changed.
00:49:48.040 The trigger event, in the eyes of the Trump administration, was Carney's address at the
00:49:52.740 World Economic Forum in Davos this past January.
00:49:57.280 Standing on the stage in the Swiss Alps, the former central banker delivered a speech that
00:50:02.420 was widely interpreted including by senior american officials at the time as a direct
00:50:08.180 repudiation of president trump's foreign policy so we're going to flip over quickly for a second
00:50:14.580 to listen to that davos speech um it's 15 minutes we don't have to listen to the whole thing but
00:50:20.180 we're going to listen to the the parts that you know ruffled the feathers i guess of trump as as
00:50:26.500 they should it seems that every day we're reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry
00:50:35.060 that the rules-based order is fading you you will pick up on a lot of this globalist talk and he
00:50:42.220 this is all he does he uses a lot of the globalist speech like a lot of the wef members kind of
00:50:48.220 speech world economic forum so you'll notice that throughout this whole entire address speech
00:50:53.720 whatever he is using these globalist terms and don't think you know trump isn't uh naive to this 0.96
00:51:00.140 he knows what the fuck's going on but the strong can do what they can and the weak must suffer 0.95
00:51:05.780 what they must and this aphorism of thucydides is sorry i just have to interrupt it again yes 0.99
00:51:12.780 the weak must suffer what they must again why does the strong have to be benevolent to the weak
00:51:18.740 again that that creates a dependence and that's what's happened to canada they've been
00:51:23.440 dependent on the U.S. because yes they're weaker but why is there no kind of desire to become
00:51:28.540 strong it's just oh well and it's again goes back to the because the plan is destruction as far as
00:51:34.620 I'm concerned the plan is destruction of Canada to have it join the EU and this whole one world
00:51:39.220 government they think they're going to pull off. Vented as inevitable as the natural logic of
00:51:45.040 international relations reasserting itself and faced with this logic there is a strong tendency
00:51:52.660 for countries to go along to get along to accommodate to avoid trouble to hope he says
00:52:02.340 this all while signing an agreement with india to bring in bioweapons here and take jobs and 0.96
00:52:08.260 housing from our own people so it's kind of ironic don't you think that compliance will buy 0.56
00:52:15.100 safety well it won't so what are our options in 1978 the Czech dissident Václav Havel
00:52:25.840 later president wrote an essay called the power of the powerless and in it he asked a simple he
00:52:33.680 really thinks he's a philosopher here you know he really thinks he's like and people did clap 0.98
00:52:38.080 and they, you know, gave him all kinds of ass-pats about it 0.99
00:52:40.100 like it was, like, the most deep fucking speech they'd ever heard. 1.00
00:52:43.800 Like, God, these fucking people. 1.00
00:52:45.260 Like, honestly, I can't. 1.00
00:52:46.220 I don't even know if they have any brain cells or what.
00:52:49.380 Question, how did the communist system sustain itself?
00:52:53.540 You would know.
00:52:54.200 And his answer began with a green grocer.
00:52:57.020 Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window.
00:53:01.380 Workers of the world unite.
00:53:03.780 He doesn't believe it.
00:53:05.720 No one does.
00:53:06.320 But he places a sign anyway to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along.
00:53:13.420 And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists.
00:53:18.800 Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.
00:53:27.660 So you mean like COVID?
00:53:29.500 So you mean like what the Liberal government put us through during COVID?
00:53:33.240 Is that what you're referring to?
00:53:34.500 Because it sounds a lot similar.
00:53:36.320 So are you trying to sell people on that idea?
00:53:38.400 Because that's exactly what your government does
00:53:40.240 through trying to arrest people and hate speech laws
00:53:42.480 and all this kind of stuff.
00:53:43.240 So that's exactly what you're doing.
00:53:44.700 So I'm not sure if this is an insult to,
00:53:47.160 and maybe it's because I'm getting ahead of myself,
00:53:48.700 but I'm not sure if this is an insult to the US
00:53:51.840 or if it's basically just telling everybody
00:53:54.640 what you've been doing in Canada
00:53:55.740 to get us kind of used to it
00:53:57.080 or that we should accept it.
00:53:58.720 Havel called this living within a lie.
00:54:02.760 The system's power comes not from its truth,
00:54:05.000 but from everyone's willingness to perform as if it were true and its fragility he's using the
00:54:11.960 plato's cave allegory uh kind of as his basis for this whole speech or at least this part of it
00:54:18.440 comes from the same source when even one person stops performing when the green
00:54:24.200 grocer removes his sign the illusion begins to crack
00:54:27.080 friends it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down 0.97
00:54:35.540 four decades so again basically shitting on the u.s saying that you know we shouldn't be
00:54:44.080 beholden to the u.s's rules which again i don't understand what he's saying here i guess he means 0.96
00:54:48.700 as far as having to buy american having to have these positive relationships with america i guess
00:54:54.800 that's what he's doing but it's just funny because this is exactly what they're doing to their own
00:54:57.920 people but he's criticizing it so i don't know make it make sense for decades countries like
00:55:09.020 canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order we joined
00:55:13.720 its institutions we praised its principles we benefited from its predictability and because
00:55:19.820 Because of that, we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection.
00:55:24.880 We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false.
00:55:30.280 That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient.
00:55:33.540 That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically.
00:55:39.040 And we knew that international law applied with varying rigor depending on the identity
00:55:42.820 of the accused or the victim.
00:55:46.860 This fiction was useful.
00:55:48.740 And American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable
00:55:54.960 financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.
00:56:01.480 So we placed the sign in the window.
00:56:04.660 We participated in the rituals.
00:56:07.900 And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.
00:56:13.720 This is why that U.S. guy, Pete, what was his name?
00:56:18.880 Under security, Elbridge.
00:56:20.780 Elbridge?
00:56:21.420 What a first name.
00:56:22.940 Elbridge Colby kept using the word rhetoric because he used it in this speech.
00:56:28.360 No longer works.
00:56:29.260 All while giving us rhetoric.
00:56:30.460 Let me be direct.
00:56:31.940 We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.
00:56:35.780 Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics
00:56:41.300 have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration.
00:56:45.160 But more recently...
00:56:45.960 But it's hilarious because, again, he wants us to be integrated
00:56:48.920 with the rest of the world, just not the U.S.
00:56:50.800 So this whole speech had me totally confused.
00:56:54.900 Great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons.
00:56:59.740 Tariffs as leverage.
00:57:01.080 Financial infrastructure as coercion.
00:57:03.000 Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
00:57:06.600 So that's basically...
00:57:07.520 I mean, you can listen to the whole thing if you want, 0.97
00:57:09.320 But I just wanted to show you the example of why the U.S. came back and basically say, because this is only 11 minutes into the speech and he's done nothing but shit on the U.S. subvertly. 0.99
00:57:19.000 But, you know, I think anybody, again, with two brain cells and that knows anything about the relationship between the U.S. and this fucking clown here would kind of know what he's getting at. 0.97
00:57:28.660 It's not, you know, it's not rocket science. 0.99
00:57:30.760 So we're going to go back to the video we were watching about the partnership collapsing, because I just wanted to give you a little context about the Davos speech, just to, you know, show you that he was, it's not just people saying it, he was shitting on the U.S.
00:57:44.940 The middle powers must act together, Carney said, because if we are not at the table, we are on the menu.
00:57:51.940 He went further.
00:57:53.040 We know the old order is not coming back.
00:57:55.300 We shouldn't mourn it.
00:57:57.000 Nostalgia is not a strategy.
00:57:58.640 But we believe that from the fracture, we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just.
00:58:06.560 He closed with a call to action.
00:58:09.360 This is the task of the middle powers, the countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and most to gain from genuine cooperation.
00:58:19.300 The diplomatic press in Ottawa cheered the speech.
00:58:23.040 Western European leaders quoted it approvingly.
00:58:25.560 Carney himself rode the moment as his foreign policy debut on the global stage.
00:58:30.440 Well, and that's why he did it. Like I said, he did it for the attention of the globalists.
00:58:35.100 But inside Washington, the speech landed very differently.
00:58:39.500 Senior administration officials read it as a Canadian prime minister,
00:58:43.440 sitting comfortably under the security umbrella of the United States military,
00:58:47.920 publicly lecturing the country that provides that umbrella about the obsolescence of American power.
00:58:54.180 Colby attaching that exact transcript to his suspension announcement four months later
00:58:58.600 was not subtle. It was a citation.
00:59:02.120 Then, there is the harder dollars-and-cents reality underneath the rhetorical fight.
00:59:07.920 According to NATO figures and Canadian government accounting,
00:59:11.540 Canada spent roughly $63 billion on defense during the most recent fiscal year.
00:59:17.920 That figure is close to 2% of Canadian gross domestic product.
00:59:22.020 To Ottawa's credit, the number is nearly double the spending level of 2014.
00:59:27.100 But yet they won't put more into defense, but they'll send all this money to the Ukraine
00:59:31.660 when there's proof, at least from the U.S., the money that the U.S. has given them,
00:59:37.840 that the money has been wasted and has been, you know, 0.97
00:59:39.860 it's basically being used to fund a glamorous lifestyle for fucking Zelensky. 0.97
00:59:43.820 And it's not actually helping anything. 0.97
00:59:45.840 And again, how much more are we going to give them to just basically throw away?
00:59:49.980 They're not going to win this war against Russia.
00:59:52.040 They're not.
00:59:53.160 That's it.
00:59:53.900 End of.
00:59:54.420 They're not going to win it.
00:59:55.160 So why are we keep giving all this money away when we have our own issues with our own military?
00:59:59.220 We need to up our defense spending.
01:00:02.540 And Prime Minister Carney announced in March that Canada had finally hit the 2% NATO floor years ahead of his stated schedule.
01:00:10.740 But 2% is no longer the bar.
01:00:12.860 At the recent Hague Summit, NATO members agreed to push defense spending to 3.5% of gross domestic product, reflecting the deteriorating security environment in Europe, the Indo-Pacific, and increasingly the Arctic.
01:00:28.140 The United States already spends well above that figure. Poland and the Baltic states have moved decisively in that direction.
01:00:36.300 Canada has committed only to reaching 3.5% by 2035,
01:00:41.580 a full decade behind the curve
01:00:43.460 and well after most of its actual frontline allies.
01:00:47.160 And again, Canada is a much larger,
01:00:49.880 maybe the population isn't as much as some of these countries,
01:00:53.140 but Canada is a much larger country
01:00:54.620 with a lot more to obviously defend geographically.
01:00:57.960 So I don't understand why.
01:01:00.440 If they're not depending on the U.S.
01:01:02.660 and their intention is to not depend on the U.S. for defence,
01:01:05.520 then what's the plan what's the plan compare that to where canada stood at the time of the
01:01:13.040 trudeau trump dinner at mar-a-lago in december 2024 canadian defense spending was roughly 1.1
01:01:21.120 of gross domestic product ranking the country's 16th among major global defense spender 2024 and
01:01:28.480 we were just what giving millions and billions to ukraine and probably to other you know countries 0.94
01:01:34.160 for signs to put up to tell people not to shit on the ground or something. 0.92
01:01:37.700 I don't know. 0.99
01:01:38.100 Or for sex education in Africa or something.
01:01:40.680 Like, again, all this money that we're throwing away
01:01:42.740 and we're not even meeting our defense goals.
01:01:44.580 And we haven't for so long. 1.00
01:01:47.060 They just thought it was never going to come back to bite them in the ass. 0.99
01:01:50.680 Then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 0.99
01:01:52.800 reportedly told President-elect Trump in that meeting
01:01:56.040 that Canada simply could not meet its NATO obligations
01:02:00.060 under existing budget plans.
01:02:02.740 From Washington's perspective, the math has been clear for a very long time.
01:02:08.320 The United States carries the weight.
01:02:10.720 Canada gives the speeches.
01:02:12.280 Yeah, and that's basically how it can be summed up.
01:02:14.560 Canada does all the smack talk and the speeches to, you know,
01:02:18.160 look like this great country with freedom and democracy on the world stage. 0.87
01:02:23.300 And they're just puppets.
01:02:24.360 All these people are just actors, puppets that are able to, you know,
01:02:27.200 gaslight the majority of the people into this kind of globalist ideology.
01:02:31.060 when, you know, love it or hate it, the U.S. is, you know, coming from, I guess, a more rational position, from my understanding of it.
01:02:39.400 But regardless, again, it's not even about that.
01:02:41.500 It's that, why are you not spending, why are you not meeting your commitments for defense spending
01:02:45.220 when you're handing out money hand over fist to hostile countries?
01:02:50.880 Now, layer on the China problem.
01:02:53.080 Earlier this year, Prime Minister Carney traveled to Beijing and signed what he himself described as
01:02:59.640 a strategic partnership with the People's Republic of China.
01:03:03.140 The agreements included terms allowing Chinese-manufactured electric vehicles to enter the Canadian market,
01:03:09.820 a major opening for an industry that the United States has actively worked to keep out of North America for national security reasons.
01:03:16.820 President Trump responded by threatening 100% tariffs on Canadian goods crossing the southern border.
01:03:24.320 The Beijing visit itself was the most significant public alignment between a Canadian government
01:03:29.600 and the People's Republic of China in modern memory.
01:03:34.060 Carney sat for joint statements with senior Chinese officials.
01:03:38.700 He praised what he called complementary economic interests between the two countries,
01:03:43.140 And he framed the trip, in his own remarks afterward, as a deliberate move toward what he described as multipolarity.
01:03:51.060 Yeah, they want, again, the world government, and they definitely want it to operate like China.
01:03:57.060 You know, the social credit scores and central banking and digital ID and digital currency.
01:04:03.520 And, you know, so they're looking to China as an example of this kind of reality they want to make for Canada.
01:04:11.200 In Washington, that was not interpreted as economic diversification.
01:04:16.000 It was interpreted as a Canadian prime minister hedging his bets against the United States by tilting publicly toward the United States' primary strategic competitor.
01:04:26.500 The defense dimension is even more concerning to Pentagon planners.
01:04:30.560 Canada is currently reviewing its planned purchase of 88 Lockheed Martin F-35.
01:04:35.980 Okay, so that's what I was talking about. I said F-95. I'm not all there.
01:04:41.060 F-35s, this is what I was talking about.
01:04:42.680 They had signed an agreement to purchase these planes from Lockheed Martin,
01:04:46.740 and they have integration with the equipment that's used, the NORAD facilities.
01:04:52.160 So it's easy integration with the, you know, joint systems that they use between the U.S. and Canada.
01:04:57.160 But if, and I think they'll talk about it here, if they buy the planes from Europe, that could be a problem.
01:05:03.640 By fighter jets.
01:05:05.000 As of late April, Canadian defense officials confirmed publicly that the review was ongoing, with Ottawa weighing whether to walk away from the program entirely and source aircraft from European manufacturers instead.
01:05:19.680 That review caught the attention of Ambassador Pete Hoekstra in February.
01:05:24.960 Hoekstra warned in plain terms that if Canada does not move forward with the F-35 purchase,
01:05:31.520 the North American Aerospace Defense Command, which the two countries operate jointly,
01:05:36.720 would have to be altered. NORAD is not a trade arrangement. It is the air and missile warning
01:05:43.840 network that defends both countries against threats coming over the polar cap from Russia
01:05:49.840 and increasingly from china if canadian aircraft cannot integrate with american systems
01:05:56.000 because ottawa decided to pivot toward european or chinese suppliers
01:06:00.320 the operational basis for the alliance starts breaking down that war and he says they say
01:06:06.000 european now but i honestly think if it doesn't go through with the u.s they'll buy from china
01:06:11.840 i honestly think that that's what they'll do and that's probably why the u.s i mean obviously the
01:06:15.840 the U.S. wants them to buy from the U.S., it benefits them. But I wouldn't be surprised if
01:06:20.440 they're also concerned about the security risk of buying Chinese airplanes. And I can totally see 1.00
01:06:25.860 Canada doing that because they want to have a positive relationship with China.
01:06:29.880 The warning is now hanging over every conversation in both capitals. This is not an isolated dispute.
01:06:36.400 It is part of a pattern stretching back to the December 2024 Mar-a-Lago dinner.
01:06:41.080 When Justin Trudeau flew to Florida that month, he reportedly told the president-elect that Canada could not realistically meet NATO defense spending targets, given the cost of expanding industrial capacity and existing budget commitments.
01:06:56.680 Trump's response was the now-famous suggestion that if Canada could not be a true partner with full capabilities, perhaps it should simply become the 51st State of the Union.
01:07:08.820 Canadian commentators treated it as an insult.
01:07:11.940 The Trump administration treated it as a negotiating position.
01:07:15.880 When Carney replaced Trudeau and inherited the same defense and trade portfolio,
01:07:20.520 his choice was to escalate rather than negotiate.
01:07:23.840 Anti-Trump rhetoric became central to his domestic political brand.
01:07:27.440 He told Canadian voters that the era of trade with the United States, as they had known it, was over.
01:07:34.620 He hinted at reducing American defense purchases,
01:07:37.000 and he sought trade replacement value in Europe and Beijing.
01:07:41.780 The Trump counterpressure has...
01:07:43.500 So what this is, is this is Carney thinking that he's going to kind of,
01:07:47.440 it's a test of the wills, right?
01:07:48.920 He thinks that he's going to hold out enough
01:07:51.820 and that Canada is really that important to the U.S.
01:07:55.680 that Trump is going to go back on it because, you know, Carney is,
01:07:59.120 he's kind of like taking the phrase,
01:08:02.560 don't negotiate with terrorists, like to its extreme.
01:08:06.480 You know what I mean? And again, the U.S. is not terrorist. But what I'm saying is he's trying to basically hold out thinking that Donald Trump is going to cave.
01:08:13.700 And that's not going to fucking happen, bro. OK, they're more than likely to invade Canada first before he's going to cave on these requirements of Canada. 0.91
01:08:21.520 So I don't know if he's just trying to frighten the U.S. into, you know, oh, we're going to get planes from somewhere else. 0.99
01:08:27.280 Like, again, at the end of the day, you're going to do what the U.S. tells you to do because we're their bitch. And that's end of end of built steadily since. 0.92
01:08:35.080 He can posture all he wants. He can grandstand all he wants.
01:08:38.680 But I'd like to see what it's going to look like without the U.S. having the support of the U.S. militarily.
01:08:44.360 The administration has threatened to block the opening of a new bridge connecting Canada to Michigan.
01:08:49.800 It has threatened 100% tariffs on Canadian exports.
01:08:53.920 It has signaled the dissolution of the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement in favor of a bilateral deal with Mexico alone.
01:09:01.980 And now, with this week's announcement, it has suspended the oldest Joint Defense Forum
01:09:07.880 in continental history.
01:09:09.980 These are not random punishments.
01:09:12.000 They are a coordinated pressure campaign aimed at one outcome.
01:09:16.240 Get Canada to actually pay for its own defense, and stop publicly attacking the country that
01:09:21.900 has been subsidizing Canadian security since World War II.
01:09:26.100 Quick note before we get into what comes next.
01:09:28.760 If you are finding this kind of breakdown, do not miss the next breakdown.
01:09:32.640 Now let's talk about what this suspension means for the Arctic and for every other
01:09:36.660 ally watching from a distance.
01:09:39.180 The most consequential dimension of this story is not the political insult.
01:09:43.740 It is the Arctic.
01:09:45.380 Russia has rebuilt and reactivated dozens of Cold War-era military installations across
01:09:50.640 its northern coast.
01:09:52.680 Long-range Russian bomber patrols testing North American air defenses have increased
01:09:57.440 significantly over the past three years china has declared itself a near arctic state and is
01:10:03.520 investing in icebreakers polar research stations and what beijing calls polar silk road infrastructure
01:10:12.000 so what what are we going to do about that carney if we break ties with the us and they don't defend
01:10:16.560 us anymore and norad gets you know dismantled what are we going to do if that happens if russia
01:10:22.640 decides to you know launch something or starts flying their planes like do we even have an air
01:10:27.040 force that's able to defend Canada, like maybe we do, but without the US's help, I don't think
01:10:32.960 we're going to be that successful unless you, again, grossly increase the spending, somehow,
01:10:38.160 you know, recruit thousands of capable military, you know, soldiers, and get all this kind of
01:10:44.700 upgraded military equipment. So I'm just confused as to how this is going to play out, right? Which
01:10:52.540 is why I think he's probably going to try to align with a superpower like China or something
01:10:56.980 that because you can't canada cannot defend itself against any of these major countries
01:11:01.060 or an attack from one of these countries without the us's help currently the northwest passage
01:11:06.740 and the resource basins beneath the polar ice are now contested zones in a way they have not been
01:11:12.980 since the height of the cold war for decades the permanent joint board on defense was the senior
01:11:19.780 coordinating body that helped the united states and canada plan jointly for that exact threat
01:11:25.860 environment. It set the framework that supports NORAD modernization. It synchronized military
01:11:32.420 investments that allow American and Canadian forces to share radar coverage from the Aleutians
01:11:38.420 across the high Arctic to Labrador. It is the institutional layer above the working
01:11:44.340 military relationship, the level where strategic priorities get aligned before they get operationalized.
01:11:51.460 Suspending that forum does not erase the threats.
01:11:54.700 It removes the senior level of joint planning needed to confront them.
01:11:59.260 Pentagon officials describing the pause
01:12:01.300 as a strategic reassessment rather than a permanent break
01:12:05.220 are technically accurate.
01:12:07.720 The option to restart exists.
01:12:10.100 But the option to restart depends entirely on Canadian behavior.
01:12:15.400 The United States is not coming back to the table until Ottawa puts real money on it.
01:12:20.580 If Russia or China watches this play out and decides that the moment of maximum North American disarray is now,
01:12:27.640 the cost of Carney's political theater is not measured in headlines.
01:12:31.380 And that's exactly what it is, political theater.
01:12:33.960 And it's not going to be him that suffers from it.
01:12:36.740 It's going to be the Canadian people. 0.99
01:12:38.540 And again, I know that's kind of a rhetorical question, really, because they don't give a fuck about the Canadian people. 0.96
01:12:43.880 But, you know, more Canadians need to know this, that all these little things, they may seem insignificant, 0.97
01:12:49.100 because, again, especially the mainstream media
01:12:51.080 is not going to report on any of this stuff.
01:12:53.160 But, you know, Canada could put itself in a pretty bad position.
01:12:56.660 It is measured in strategic vulnerability over the polar cap.
01:13:00.640 And Canada is not the only ally being put on notice.
01:13:04.620 The Hague 3.5% target is a serious lift
01:13:08.020 for nearly every NATO member outside the United States,
01:13:11.580 Poland, and the Baltic states.
01:13:14.080 Germany has formally committed,
01:13:16.180 but has yet to demonstrate the industrial follow-through.
01:13:19.100 Italy and Spain remain among the lowest spenders in the alliance, both still near or below the old 2% line.
01:13:26.980 The Trump administration has openly discussed redeploying American forces away from countries that fail to meet the new benchmark,
01:13:34.520 with Germany, Italy, and Spain frequently named in administration circles as candidates for reduced United States presence.
01:13:42.720 The message being sent through the Canadian suspension is intended for those audiences as much as for Ottawa.
01:13:50.020 The era of free riding under the American security umbrella, while criticizing American leadership, is being closed.
01:14:05.540 Allies who want continued American military protection are expected to fund their own forces at credible levels,
01:14:11.480 integrate their procurement with American systems where appropriate,
01:14:15.420 and stop using American power as a backdrop for speeches about a post-American order.
01:14:20.740 That message is now being delivered through the most visible diplomatic tools available.
01:14:26.180 Trade pressure, tariff threats, defense forum suspensions,
01:14:30.860 public statements from senior Pentagon officials citing specific speeches by specific...
01:14:35.280 And I think, too, sorry, I think that Carney is doing this because he his popularity in Canada is basically solely on hatred for Trump, the whole elbows up crowd. 0.59
01:14:47.400 So he's allowing this to happen before, you know, because he doesn't give a fuck about the Canadian people because he wants us to eventually join the EU.
01:14:55.040 And because he, you know, he doesn't want any kind of deal with the US. 0.98
01:15:00.900 He wants people to hate the U.S., the Canadians, so that when it all goes to shit, they all can just solely put their finger on Trump. 0.72
01:15:07.420 And we're going to watch a video short, another video shortly of somebody who is knowledgeable in Canadian defense or basically. 0.97
01:15:13.940 And he says that, you know, they're trying to, because that's what it hinges on.
01:15:17.960 His popularity hinges on that.
01:15:19.340 So if a Democrat comes into power, say Donald Trump, you know, whatever happens, right?
01:15:23.640 He loses the mids or whatever happens and a new president gets elected in a couple of years. 0.59
01:15:29.540 That's a Democrat. 0.52
01:15:30.920 Who are they going to blame then? 0.75
01:15:32.860 Because then the big bad orange man is gone.
01:15:35.260 So it hinges on Donald Trump's unpopularity with Canadians.
01:15:40.380 So the more he pisses them off, the elbows up crowd, you know, because they think Carney could do no wrong, are going to automatically blame Trump for all these things when Canada had a part to play in it as well.
01:15:50.220 Pacific leaders. There is nothing accidental about the sequencing. So what comes next?
01:15:56.880 Canada has a small number of paths forward. The first is to do what Carney has so far refused to
01:16:02.720 do, which is to accelerate the path to 3.5% of gross domestic product on defense,
01:16:08.920 finalize the F-35 purchase, and publicly commit to remaining inside the American-led defense
01:16:15.220 architecture rather than pivoting to beijing that path would likely bring an end to the suspension
01:16:21.700 and a partial reset of the relationship the second path is to double and he won't do that because 0.99
01:16:27.300 again he's a narcissist he thinks that we're all stupid he's you know he went to harvard or yale 1.00
01:16:32.580 or wherever the fuck he went and that means you know he is just the most smartest smartest person 1.00
01:16:37.060 that ever fucking lived and that we're all dumb we don't know what's good for us or for our country 0.99
01:16:42.100 So he's not going to, and he definitely knows better than Donald Trump. 0.99
01:16:44.900 So he is not going to take that first option.
01:16:47.800 Bull down.
01:16:48.800 Carney can stay on his current trajectory,
01:16:51.420 continue building closer ties to China and Europe,
01:16:54.620 walk away from the F-35 program entirely,
01:16:57.800 and let the permanent joint board on defense remain frozen.
01:17:02.240 That path puts NORAD itself on the table,
01:17:05.520 raises the probability of 100% United States tariffs on Canadian goods,
01:17:10.440 and increases the chance that the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement is dissolved
01:17:15.840 in favor of a bilateral United States-Mexico deal that leaves Ottawa on the outside.
01:17:22.240 The third path, the messiest one, is some sort of leadership change in Ottawa.
01:17:29.420 Carney's political...
01:17:30.300 This is the one we want, although, again, there's no political solution to the problems that face Canada.
01:17:34.760 But for this potential issue that we have with the U.S., yes, probably a change in leadership would help, hopefully.
01:17:42.000 But, I mean, Canada's issues go way beyond political, anything politically that can be solved politically.
01:17:48.680 The position depends heavily on sustained anti-Trump sentiment among Canadian voters.
01:17:54.540 If the economic cost of his Beijing pivot starts hitting Canadian workers, that political math can shift quickly.
01:18:01.200 and the next Canadian government could be left to clean up the relationship he chose to break.
01:18:06.900 Whichever path Ottawa...
01:18:08.140 So that's pretty much it for that video because all the rest of it is stuff that they're just kind of summarizing it all.
01:18:14.460 But I was watching Juno News and it's with...
01:18:19.980 I can't remember. I don't know what this guy's name is. It says it at the beginning.
01:18:23.040 But anyways, he's talking to somebody who either used to work in Canadian defence
01:18:27.100 or has extensive knowledge about it.
01:18:29.100 And I just, the reason why I wanted to show it to you guys, and I apologize for showing a ton of videos today, but, you know, they're important.
01:18:36.640 He really has, like, he really is on point with what he's saying about what's going on.
01:18:42.580 And the fact that they don't believe that they even want to make a trade agreement with the U.S. or they kind of want to sabotage it.
01:18:49.200 So I thought it would be interesting to listen to.
01:18:53.200 Oh, there you go. Mark Patron.
01:18:55.440 I don't know who this guy is, but the video was pretty good.
01:18:57.960 I liked his guest. He knew what he was talking about.
01:19:01.460 Well, the Pentagon says Canada is all talk and no action
01:19:05.000 when it comes to defence spending.
01:19:07.160 The main reason why it is suspending
01:19:09.100 a long-standing bilateral defence advisory board.
01:19:13.360 Read the story at junonews.com.
01:19:16.820 Americans have pressed pause on the US-Canada Defence Board.
01:19:21.040 The Canadian government had this reaction.
01:19:23.480 There's lots of cooperation. We will continue to do so.
01:19:26.160 But we will also be cooperating with other partners and diversifying our defense cooperation, as we should as a member of NATO.
01:19:36.260 So that was his response to them pulling out of this or pausing this joint defense board.
01:19:42.560 That was his response.
01:19:43.880 Six years, the board has worked towards Arctic security and continental defense planning.
01:19:50.180 The U.S. says Canada has failed to carry its own weight.
01:19:53.040 The U.S. Undersecretary of War, Elbridge Colby, says a strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all.
01:20:05.120 Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments.
01:20:11.120 Colby, citing the divisive rhetoric from Canadian officials, some analysts say it's a direct rebuke to Prime Minister Carney's Davos speech.
01:20:22.200 Carney also drew the ire of the Trump administration when it signed a strategic partnership with China
01:20:27.820 and agreed to import Chinese-made electric vehicles to Canada.
01:20:32.160 Our guest today is Joe Varner, Senior Fellow at the McDonnell-Laurier Institute.
01:20:36.560 Welcome, Joe.
01:20:37.120 So, Joe Varner, Senior Fellow at the, what institute did he say? I missed that.
01:20:42.480 Joe Varner, Senior Fellow at the McDonnell-Laurier Institute.
01:20:45.740 Welcome, Joe.
01:20:47.460 Great to be with you again, Merck. 0.84
01:20:48.820 All right. What do you make of this latest move by the United States?
01:20:53.380 Well, from my perspective, this is kind of a warning shot at the Canadian government to actually get moving on defense.
01:21:02.220 And the Canadian government's been, you know, taking its sweep, a good loving time.
01:21:06.180 You hear that, Canada? Get moving on defense.
01:21:08.860 Time to do whatever it is that they're trying to do.
01:21:11.160 But the fact of the matter is the United States patients have run out.
01:21:14.520 And this has been coming down through several administrations.
01:21:17.920 You know, it started with Obama and then Trump and then Biden and now back to Trump.
01:21:27.240 And so, you know, could Canada and the United States live without the Permanent Joint Board on Defense?
01:21:34.200 Sure, they could.
01:21:35.560 Do they really want to?
01:21:37.020 Well, that's a bigger question.
01:21:38.640 Should it be reformed?
01:21:40.740 But, you know, we can't live without NORAD.
01:21:44.100 It would be very difficult to be under the five eyes.
01:21:47.140 and if you didn't know they're talking about making it the three eyes now and kicking out
01:21:52.680 canada and new zealand because they're not meeting both countries are not meeting the
01:21:56.880 defense spending so they want to make it the three eyes now be very difficult uh to find
01:22:03.260 and i also think it has to do with the secure canadian and new zealand probably uh national
01:22:07.300 security issues as well canada compromise even further or a position in the g7 so this is kind
01:22:14.100 of the this is ladder uh the round one in the ladder of uh of escalation for the americans to
01:22:20.780 tell canada you know enough's enough get all of it but norad is of strategic importance to the
01:22:27.680 americans really i mean if the missiles are going to fly from russia they're going to go over the
01:22:33.060 arctic and they're going to go over canada before they ever hit washington dc do you see norad as
01:22:41.260 maybe being on the bubble here? Well, I think it depends on what Canada does. For more than a
01:22:48.420 decade, almost two, we've dragged our feet on NORAD modernization, and the government says
01:22:55.940 that it's getting on with it now and that they're spending money on over-the-horizon radar.
01:23:00.780 I feel like Canada is like the ultimate procrastinator. Everything gets pushed off,
01:23:05.340 pushed off, pushed off. And it's true because the reason why we didn't suffer as badly during
01:23:10.500 the economic crash in 2008 is because they kind of kicked the can down the road right so
01:23:14.640 these things always come to fruition at some point and you know you can't just keep kicking
01:23:19.200 that can down the road forever. Really been years and years and years and the fact of the matter is
01:23:25.620 dithering on F-35 the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world doesn't help our case
01:23:32.220 and the suggestion that we're going to buy maybe a lesser aircraft in the Gripen from Saab
01:23:37.860 And the same with AWACS, or early warning aircraft, the Americans, you know, or the world leaders in early warning aircraft.
01:23:48.640 Canada has a choice to make between the American aircraft and a Saab-Mombardia aircraft, and it seems like the government wants the Saab-Mombardia aircraft.
01:23:59.700 We're not doing ourselves any favors on NORAD, you know, and we're not doing ourselves any favors
01:24:06.020 by pretending to spend 2% by including the Canadian Coast Guard
01:24:11.320 and, you know, the Transport Canada Challenger fleet
01:24:16.000 in our defence spending to meet the 2% NATO commitment.
01:24:20.480 We're not doing ourselves any favor.
01:24:22.060 So he even verified that as well.
01:24:23.940 They use the Coast Guard and Transport Canada, whatever,
01:24:26.760 to include in the defence budget, and they're not part of,
01:24:30.520 really, they shouldn't be included as defence
01:24:32.260 because they're not, like, military troops or active troops or whatever.
01:24:36.020 favors with their allies. We're not doing yourselves any favors with the United States.
01:24:40.780 Yeah, the 2% is where I was going to go next, which is the suggestion by Canadian officials
01:24:45.760 that we've reached the 2% spending targets. I mean, it's what we said we would do. We've
01:24:51.260 committed to that. What's the problem? Well, I think the problem is about $22 to $24 billion
01:24:57.720 of that defense spending, defense spending, allegedly, is in other government departments.
01:25:05.080 It doesn't come into combat capability.
01:25:09.120 It doesn't make the Canadian forces any more lethal.
01:25:11.960 So that, yeah, that's what I tried to summarize earlier.
01:25:14.940 It doesn't make them any more lethal.
01:25:16.020 It doesn't make them more effective.
01:25:17.160 So what's the point?
01:25:18.400 It's just on paper.
01:25:19.560 You just put it on paper to make it look like they're meeting their, which is scummy.
01:25:23.200 It's a scummy thing to do.
01:25:24.280 And I mean, yeah, they're politicians.
01:25:25.700 And what don't they do?
01:25:26.580 That's not, you know, what do they do?
01:25:27.840 That's not scummy.
01:25:28.760 Everything is scummy. 0.99
01:25:29.960 But, you know, this is the kind of shit that is going to really fuck up the relationship 0.99
01:25:34.660 with our biggest, you know, trading partner currently. 0.99
01:25:38.280 So we've given everybody a great big raise,
01:25:40.820 which is excellent and was much needed.
01:25:43.140 We put a series of personnel policies in place
01:25:49.340 to help with recruitment retention.
01:25:53.740 But in terms of actually spending money on...
01:25:57.020 Yeah, we brought in a bunch of people from Africa,
01:25:59.620 different tribes in Africa that are infighting in the military 1.00
01:26:02.180 and have no respect for their superior officers. 1.00
01:26:04.660 specifically if they're women that's what we did combat systems and actually re-arming the 1.00
01:26:11.940 canadian forces with some sense of urgency like our allies are doing in europe uh or the or the
01:26:18.620 united states canada's not doing that we're taking our you know our good time and and we look like
01:26:26.460 tortoises for the rest of the alliance as we're kind of you know taking our time and maybe we
01:26:32.720 should do this and there's really no excuse because like again canada is a large country
01:26:37.160 with a pretty large decent population compared to some other european countries so there's really
01:26:42.840 no excuse for it um if you can bring in you know millions of uh you know invaders and give them all 0.97
01:26:49.180 kinds of you know free benefits and free health care and subsidize their you know minimum wage 0.68
01:26:53.360 jobs there's no excuse for this absolutely no excuse maybe we should do that maybe we should
01:26:59.040 get european stuff uh anywhere in the world that the canadian forces are going to go they're going
01:27:04.680 to go with the united states in my opinion and we want american spare parts and so you know buying
01:27:10.940 abroad that was important to say too that anywhere uh that we go it'll more than likely be with the
01:27:16.980 americans as far as you know war so like why would you ruin this relationship uh having these long
01:27:23.800 drawn-out competitions that take you know 15 20 years it's just not on anymore it's not sustainable
01:27:29.920 are the americans aware of the non-canadian component of our armed forces staffing
01:27:36.160 that has come about in part because of changes that we've made to the requirements and could
01:27:44.940 that be a problem in terms of how the americans see us as a credible fighting force well look
01:27:53.240 You know, any armed forces that's down 15% or any military units that's down 15% of its personnel as we were in the last couple of years is considered ineffective as a combat unit.
01:28:08.840 And so the Canadian forces were down over 15% of its force.
01:28:12.780 And so, you know, judge as you will how our allies would view that, but I don't think they have a lot of confidence in us.
01:28:19.120 The fact that Canada made the commitment to lead the brigade group in Latvia, and it's taking the entire Canadian Army to try and do that, and we lack the basic equipment that most Western armies have for that brigade, and the vehicles showed up.
01:28:37.480 uh you know our military don't even have proper winter gear like clothing gear they don't have
01:28:44.200 proper like you know uh what was it tents or something when they were doing a training 0.99
01:28:48.760 exercise like they don't even have the basics they don't have clean fucking barracks and shit 0.99
01:28:53.260 like that it's falling apart so you know fuck like what are we gonna do effective and unserviceable 0.99
01:29:02.560 and needed to be fixed in theater 0.99
01:29:05.620 and even training had to be done in theater
01:29:08.040 because there was no money to train at home
01:29:09.960 really leaves an impression on our allies.
01:29:13.640 We've missed NATO missions.
01:29:15.700 We've missed NATO exercises.
01:29:18.160 You know, we used to be a leader
01:29:19.840 in keeping the standing naval force afloat.
01:29:25.600 There was always Canadian warship in it.
01:29:28.200 That's not always the case now.
01:29:29.600 uh canada really has fallen behind and you know the canadian government talks a good game we we
01:29:37.400 say you know we're punching above our weight and we're doing this and we're doing that but in in
01:29:42.820 reality we're not and you know they're starting show the evidence where you know if canada thinks 0.97
01:29:48.160 they're punching above their weight in defense then where's the evidence show the fucking evidence 0.57
01:29:52.200 again we can see much a lot of evidence to the contrary to see documents fly around that now say 0.96
01:29:58.340 instead of five eyes in terms of the five eyes intelligence community you now say three eyes
01:30:04.500 uh canada and new zealand are left up why because we really don't contribute the way we should and
01:30:12.100 and quite frankly i think not trusted the way we once were yeah i mean we've had the chinese spying
01:30:18.260 issues of course that has gone public that was international news and of course the government
01:30:24.900 It never came clean on who was actually a spy, you know, a certain component of our parliamentarians serving the interests of some other country.
01:30:36.820 I mean, it seems outrageous. Does that play a role in the level of trust that our allies have for us?
01:30:44.680 Well, it certainly does, and it certainly has an impact on the United States.
01:30:48.360 when the when the prime minister goes to china uh signs a big strategic partnership because
01:30:54.680 they want to make hay on donald trump and think they're going to score points with canadian
01:30:59.800 voters it's all well and good uh but you're going to pay a price for that with the united
01:31:03.880 states and some of your other allies uh when when the canadian government hedges on on whether or
01:31:10.360 not we're going to call out china on rough intercepts of our patrol aircraft in the pacific
01:31:15.640 when the government, you know, refuses to comment on whether we're going to continue to do
01:31:22.040 freedom of navigation operations in the Strait of Taiwan, when the government refuses to comment
01:31:29.580 on Chinese forced labor, we certainly make an impression on our allies. And we've made an
01:31:36.600 impression on the United States. We, you know, the Prime Minister gave his Dabo speech, which I think
01:31:41.680 was a disaster. And when he got to China, he announced that we were, you know, going to be
01:31:49.800 part of the new world order. That's all China speak. That's it's yeah, that's the like you 0.86
01:31:54.920 said, that's China speak. And, you know, Trump, yes, he's a show for Israel. He loves Israel.
01:31:59.200 But I don't think he's on board with this one world order thing, because obviously that would
01:32:02.980 threaten the US's sovereignty. Right out of Beijing's playbook. It couldn't be much worse.
01:32:09.280 What's Carney thinking? I mean, you'd almost think that he was looking for a rupture with the Americans, looking to distance himself from that country and kind of being oblivious to our geography and traditional ties to America.
01:32:29.960 Do you have any idea what?
01:32:31.160 And there's that word tradition again, right? They're trying to erase all of our traditions. And they've been doing this, you know, just even forget the US, just in Canada alone. They've been working very hard to, you know, starting with the change of the flag, you know, and then secondly, with the mass immigration of non-Europeans. They're trying to erase our history. And this is another thing, like we've historically had a long standing relationship with the US.
01:32:55.780 i would bet that the majority of canadians when they go away they go to the u.s
01:33:00.800 um and you know sometimes they're just going across to go shopping that's what it was like
01:33:05.140 before before you know we all became extremely poor here in canada but you know so not having
01:33:10.960 an alliance with them to me exactly seems extremely silly unless you wanted to kind of 0.63
01:33:15.280 just totally erase the history and the you know customs and all this other shit we have between 0.95
01:33:21.600 us in the u.s he's thinking what the strategy behind his actions could be well i think that
01:33:29.280 the prime minister is following the liberal playbook of justin trudeau and it's a tried
01:33:34.760 tested and true playbook uh he wants to fight an election campaign against donald trump he doesn't 1.00
01:33:40.960 want to fight it against a canadian conservative leader and that goes to show you how stupid the 1.00
01:33:46.160 canadians are how stupid the can the supporters of carney are like i said what does it fucking 1.00
01:33:51.500 matter about trump like that has very little to do with what's going on in our own country 1.00
01:33:56.920 outside of trade so you know because he hates donald trump you're going to vote for somebody
01:34:02.300 because he hates donald trump who has no say over your governance or anything like it doesn't make
01:34:07.820 sense to me you would rather have china you'd rather be aligned with china and their kind of
01:34:11.400 style and i know that you know we probably do have a lot of chinese imports here but is that 0.99
01:34:15.700 how everybody, all the elbows up crowd wants to live
01:34:18.140 under China technocracy?
01:34:20.660 And, you know, if you can, you know, 0.71
01:34:23.220 rush the Conservatives in the same way
01:34:25.640 that you would rush the Trump administration
01:34:28.200 and paint that sort of picture to Canadians,
01:34:31.160 that's what the government wants to do.
01:34:33.020 This government has not been serious about defence spending
01:34:35.920 and it's not serious about re-equipping the Canadian forces.
01:34:40.340 And, you know, right now,
01:34:41.640 if if the government really wanted to do something they would take up the challenge
01:34:47.660 of trying to modernize or refresh the permanent joint board on defense and you know i don't see
01:34:56.840 that happening i mean we're talking f-35s and that sort of thing i mean there was a contract
01:35:03.340 last time i heard the thought there was a contract to buy how many of these aircraft 10 and then
01:35:08.640 that was taught? Yeah, there's been two contracts now, and I think it's a couple dozen aircraft
01:35:14.800 now. But, you know, the plan was to replace, I think, around 88 CF-18s with a slightly lesser
01:35:24.660 number. And, you know, we've dragged our foot on that. You know, the Trudeau government came to
01:35:31.440 power saying they're going to scrap the program and waited until just a couple of years ago to
01:35:38.260 say yeah f-35 won the competition and now they're saying wow we might let someone else in like like
01:35:45.000 sob with the griffin so they've been dragging it out for years and years and years um and again
01:35:50.040 it's because they want to they wanted to keep their spot in you know nato they wanted to keep
01:35:55.660 their status and all the stuff but still not contribute what they should be so again it's
01:35:59.400 just kicking the can down the road um you know it's it it's not a good way to do business you
01:36:06.200 You know, if you're thinking of spending billions of dollars to invest in the Canadian defense production or Canadian defense program competition, probably going to give yourself a second to shake your head because, you know, the procurement process in this country seems to be whatever the prime minister says it is.
01:36:28.860 It doesn't seem to follow the normal rules.
01:36:31.380 It doesn't seem to even follow foreign military sales,
01:36:34.980 which is a form of directed sale.
01:36:38.040 And I guess that's kind of an example
01:36:39.640 of how the Canadian government operates on a whole.
01:36:42.180 It's just whatever the Prime Minister says.
01:36:43.880 We don't go through any processes here,
01:36:46.240 legal statutes, anything like that.
01:36:48.660 If they decide this is what they're going to do,
01:36:51.080 it doesn't matter what the population wants,
01:36:53.520 they're just going to do it,
01:36:54.440 and you're just going to take it
01:36:55.360 because we have no other choice.
01:36:58.000 Uh, we've seen this with, uh, Ukraine and we've seen, you know, whenever the prime minister has to go meet the president of the United States, whether it was Biden or Trump, and we know that they're wearing the daddy pants that day, uh, all of a sudden Canada, you know, makes some sort of announcement out of fresh air that we're going to buy, you know, an air, air defense system, or we're going to do this, or we're going to do that. 0.95
01:37:21.300 I have to appreciate this guy's ability to shit on the Canadian government and be so stoic about it. 0.96
01:37:29.460 He's getting in some zingers there, and he's not even fucking cracking a smile about it. 0.99
01:37:33.740 It's fucking great. 0.97
01:37:36.400 I don't even imagine that there's been a treasure towards the machine. 0.99
01:37:40.560 Yeah, I mean, you add that to the state of our finances, which is pretty pathetic.
01:37:45.900 I mean, the level of debt, the fact that we're nowhere near an answer of balancing the books.
01:37:53.400 And he throws this other aspect in, which is regarding defense spending, to your point,
01:38:00.940 the days, Canada's days of spending 70 cents of every dollar on American contractors are over.
01:38:07.740 So he's already throwing it. 0.98
01:38:08.840 We're just going to spend like, you know, three times as much for our fucking staples, like food. 0.99
01:38:13.800 On the gauntlet. 0.98
01:38:15.900 and rent housing i mean where does it go what's the end game here i guess that's 1.00
01:38:22.700 my question here cozying up to the chinese i mean it just doesn't seem to make sense unless
01:38:30.140 he's got an agenda that he's not sharing with the rest of us yeah it's not clear what the
01:38:35.960 prime minister's agenda is i mean first it was let's cozy up the europeans where they deal with
01:38:41.000 europeans and then it's now cozy up for the chinese and the government's cozying up to the
01:38:47.160 chinese um but at the end of the day you have to ask yourself if that makes sense for canada 0.86
01:38:54.040 and its national interest and its national security and it doesn't and we've got a prime
01:38:59.280 minister that seems to like to jet around the world um on the taxpayer dime but never seems
01:39:05.460 to come home with any goodies, with any big deal sign,
01:39:10.080 with any great news, with the exception that we now have
01:39:14.620 a strategic agreement with China. 0.83
01:39:18.320 And MOU with India to employ their millions of unemployed 0.99
01:39:23.880 fucking military-age men in low-skill jobs. 0.98
01:39:28.380 Going to allow sharing of information with the Chinese police. 1.00
01:39:31.820 And surely there are no dangers in that.
01:39:35.460 If you remember the Chinese diaspora in this country
01:39:38.200 and you're an opponent of the regime,
01:39:40.660 you've got to be a little bit worried about where the prime minister
01:39:42.960 and the government are going.
01:39:45.060 We've been watching this fiasco on the stowbirds.
01:39:50.500 We'll see what happens today.
01:39:53.240 But the fact of the matter is the government's had 16 years to deal with this
01:39:57.340 and 16 years to fix this problem.
01:40:01.360 And that's been my point with everybody I argue about
01:40:03.240 who wants to blame everything on Trump that's been happening in this country, 0.99
01:40:07.300 we've had 16 years to pull up our socks and fucking get our shit in order. 0.99
01:40:11.780 And again, all they've done is kicked the can down the road, 0.99
01:40:14.700 figured that the dependents on the U.S. will never come home to roost. 0.98
01:40:19.260 They'll just continue to subsidize our military and subsidize defense for us.
01:40:23.900 And because they're too afraid to allow someone to encroach on Canada,
01:40:27.380 they're always going to defend us regardless if we contribute or not.
01:40:30.560 And that's not going to happen anymore.
01:40:32.600 So nobody thought that this was ever going to come up.
01:40:35.880 I guess not.
01:40:37.080 The aircraft was running out of time.
01:40:39.460 They knew that Canadians valued the snowbirds.
01:40:43.480 And they knew that it was kind of a national treasure.
01:40:48.340 That ballet that they do in the sky with all the precision and all the color.
01:40:54.440 And the fact of the matter is the government has let that capability go to the end of the life of the aircraft.
01:41:01.600 and that's another thing right that's again something that's historical in canada the
01:41:06.340 snowbirds that's uh one of our you know kind of how do you put it's one of our um something that
01:41:12.820 we've always we've known we've grown up with we've you know it's one of our historical things uh one
01:41:17.320 of our i can't think of the word right now but anyways it's something that we've always done
01:41:21.100 or at least for as long as i can remember people every year you know you see the snowbirds flying
01:41:25.860 they do their whole air show on labor day and all that stuff and they've basically kneecapped that
01:41:30.120 as well so they're taking the traditions that's the word i was looking for they've taken away all 0.97
01:41:34.980 of our traditions and it's all part of erasing us turning us into these you know fucking unix 0.97
01:41:41.200 basically like barbie dolls that like have no you know have no gender have no identification no id 0.94
01:41:45.980 no customs no anything we're just basically people there to submit tax dollars and you know
01:41:52.680 make the machines go that's basically it we're just a number and that's very unfortunate yeah
01:41:58.200 Yeah. And on top of it all, there's the Kuzma deal, which the deadline, of course, is creeping ever closer.
01:42:05.060 And it just seems like when you factor all of the things that have been going on, things that have been said, now this latest rupture, if you want to call it that.
01:42:16.060 I mean, it doesn't bode well for continuing this Kuzma deal, which Mr. Carney himself has cited as, you know, the best deal that anybody can get in our circumstances.
01:42:28.200 And so that's another cloud on the horizon, isn't it?
01:42:31.980 Well, it is. And you can see that the government is is, you know, building the narrative that we can't get a deal and won't get a deal.
01:42:41.320 And and again, they're blaming Trump for that. So they put out it put it out there that, you know, Trump is just can't be negotiated with.
01:42:48.420 He, you know, is just this tyrant that just wants to make Canada the 51st state. 1.00
01:42:52.320 Why would he want to import another, you know, 10 million fucking Indians? 0.99
01:42:55.680 like they already got their own problems so like it's all rhetoric that trump is saying it's all 0.99
01:43:00.160 this you know it's part of his fucking bombastic whatever you know character and stuff like that 0.99
01:43:04.700 he's talking shit he likes to troll and stuff like that but you know why like he doesn't want 0.99
01:43:10.660 that he wants canada to pull up its socks and meet its requirements right and yeah he's a little bit 1.00
01:43:15.340 you know he's a little bit crazy but like i said a good political strategist would know how to deal
01:43:19.820 with the different you're going to encounter all kinds of different characters in um can't like in
01:43:25.120 politics rather. So you need to be able to know how to handle all those different characters in
01:43:30.380 a diplomatic way. Otherwise, don't be in politics. Why is stats can't asking our race? What does it
01:43:35.400 matter? Yeah, exactly. Well, you know, somebody said, and this is a little bit off topic, but I
01:43:40.300 saw somebody say that it's going to be hilarious when the census does come out, because we're
01:43:44.880 going to get a real number, or we're going to get a real kind of accurate, I guess, depiction of how
01:43:50.980 many you know non-Canadians are actually here I don't know if that's true or not because I think
01:43:55.220 that a lot of them are probably not going to be filling out the census because they're you know
01:43:58.560 here either illegally or on expired permits or whatever but it will be interesting to see how
01:44:03.540 much that number has grown since the last census and it's funny that you say that they're asking
01:44:08.380 for a race too because they don't really provide any race-based statistics in Canada so like in
01:44:14.520 the U.S. you know for crime and so you can kind of get it broken down and I know they're trying
01:44:18.780 to kind of get rid of that in the U.S. too, but they still have pretty good statistics based on
01:44:22.560 race. Canada, you can't find anything based on race. And preparing the country and the voters
01:44:29.340 for a massive failure. And from my perspective, that's what it looks like. And when I talk to
01:44:36.740 people that I know in Washington, they tell me that the Mexicans have done all kinds of things
01:44:42.640 to lay the groundwork. I'm told that Canada has done nothing to lay the groundwork for successful
01:44:48.160 trade negotiations. And if you were going to go into trade negotiations, you certainly wouldn't
01:44:53.320 go into trade negotiations saying that you were a new strategic partner of China, that you were
01:45:00.760 going to buy European military goods, not American military goods, that you wouldn't come out with
01:45:08.360 a defense procurement strategy, which in my opinion is patently anti-American. And so we're
01:45:16.000 doing all the things we can to see these trade talks get scuppered yeah basically yeah that's
01:45:22.160 that was basically the gist of that whole video but yeah they're trying to do it on purpose
01:45:26.320 because they i'll say it again carney has this idea and this is why he was not you know elected
01:45:33.380 right he was basically placed there selected if you want to call it um and he was selected for a
01:45:39.380 reason because their time is up now they really want to roll out this whole one world government
01:45:44.000 strategy uh the wef is like pushing this because people are starting to wake up now right so they
01:45:48.960 really got to accelerate this so that this is the only reason why he's trying to destroy the
01:45:53.040 relationship with the with the u.s because i think the u.s would be the one country that would be able 0.97
01:45:57.680 to fight off this whole globalist shit if they want to or not like i said i know that the u.s is 0.89
01:46:03.480 huge supporters of israel so it's not really surprising um you know or sorry it it's not 0.97
01:46:10.980 surprising that you can't trust the u.s government either but like i said i don't think that you know
01:46:15.740 the u.s or the current u.s government wants a one world government it doesn't really it only
01:46:20.460 benefits the elites it's the plan is from my understanding is that it's basically going to
01:46:24.660 be like a one world technocracy right where everything is you know social credit score
01:46:29.340 you know digital id digital money uh where everything is controlled and that goes back
01:46:34.920 and i was going to show it to you guys today but it's really long and i feel like you know it'll
01:46:38.380 take us too far into but I've been really getting into this professor or he calls himself a professor
01:46:43.660 he's a teacher in China he was born in Canada but he's Chinese and he's in China now teaching but
01:46:50.740 he talks about like how this goes all the way back to like the Freemasons and all this stuff
01:46:55.200 in order and how their ultimate goal is to have basically a technocracy where control and order
01:47:00.120 is like that's how you can basically how you have a good society is where everybody is tightly
01:47:05.540 controlled, it's strict order, and all this stuff. So in order to implement that, they got to destroy
01:47:11.740 the existing structure. And that's what, you know, they're doing. And I think the US would probably
01:47:15.580 be the one country that could stand in the way of that if they chose to. So that was all I had for
01:47:22.060 that subject. But there was a few funny things I just wanted to share that I grabbed. This one
01:47:27.300 was hilarious. Do I have? It's kind of tied into it, but you know, not really. Hold on, let me share
01:47:34.220 it that NATO or sorry go to the stage there you go the top military commander this lady 1.00
01:47:42.700 Jenny General Carnagan Ganan whatever her name is they want they nominate her for the senior role
01:47:49.080 advisory role in NATO so you couldn't really even you weren't really successful in leading a subpar
01:47:58.200 military um for you know canada and now you are and i know nato necessarily doesn't have any
01:48:05.140 real control um over well at least that's what we're told um over the country's national security
01:48:12.200 but i just thought it hilarious that you know once again canada is not reverting back to
01:48:16.780 what would be most beneficial for the country for defense for all the stuff they're going back to
01:48:21.260 their you know marxist policies of oh well there has to be a woman in there um and so this was the 0.67
01:48:26.860 best you could find to to nominate for an advisory role in nato like this is the best you could find
01:48:32.080 i mean i know canada's pretty hard up for some active you know good active military soldiers 0.97
01:48:37.580 because i think all the good ones probably you know retired i would have after all the shit that 0.87
01:48:41.960 they were going through um but yeah like it's basically says if she gets nominated or elected 0.80
01:48:47.880 to there she would have to step down as her in her role as defense because nato uh what did they say 0.54
01:48:53.460 um nato doesn't have oh yeah she wouldn't be representing canada in the role and would act
01:49:00.240 as a neutral party right neutral party i believe that so i thought that was kind of hilarious um
01:49:06.340 she'll continue to lead the canadian military while the selection process for nato the nato
01:49:10.500 role takes place i wonder what all those you know africans and you know the cameroon and
01:49:14.760 cameroons and the ivory coast uh you know soldiers new soldiers think about uh their general the 0.78
01:49:22.220 top dog here being a woman that must be uh interesting to be a fly on the wall in the
01:49:27.800 rooms of that and then i did mention at the beginning um that there was not surprising
01:49:35.060 gross mismanagement and cases of wrongdoing in the immigration department i was just waiting
01:49:40.920 for this to come out like by one of the mainstream medias because i you can't tell me that this
01:49:46.700 hasn't been going on for a lot longer than what they report on because we've seen it in you know
01:49:51.840 in ontario at least we've seen all the corruption in just like with licensing like giving licenses 0.99
01:49:56.720 to you know indians that don't even are haven't been trained properly um that you know can't pass 0.88
01:50:03.180 the test and all that stuff so what makes people think that it wouldn't happen in other areas of 1.00
01:50:07.720 government as well like this is the total plan is to create the crisis and this is the you know if
01:50:13.220 you look up the world economic forum shit and stuff like that and it's it's been a long time
01:50:18.920 plan of a lot of different places like it's you can look at this even historically like you create 0.74
01:50:23.120 a crisis and then the public begs for your help and then you say well it's it's like when they
01:50:28.060 use the excuse of okay we're going to install all these cameras because there's so much crime in 1.00
01:50:32.180 this area but why is there so much crime in that area because you've imported the third world there 1.00
01:50:36.540 so they don't think about okay well let's get rid of the source of the problem let's just provide a 1.00
01:50:41.340 band-aid solution until and then people will beg for that because they'll be selling it as it's
01:50:45.920 your safety and then it never goes back so you know just like taxes right taxes were initially
01:50:51.540 introduced after the war effort maybe that was in the U.S. I don't know how they became to be in
01:50:56.420 Canada to be honest with you but you know for the U.S. anyways it was introduced as a war measures
01:51:01.700 kind of to help pay off for the war and never they never reneged on it they never took it back 0.95
01:51:05.460 just like you know a lot of these fucking regulations that they created during COVID 0.74
01:51:10.060 and stuff like that they haven't been rolled back either so once you lose it you're not getting it 0.96
01:51:14.260 back so you know i don't know what people are thinking anyways i guess that was my whole point
01:51:19.180 of it um an executive engaging in gross mismanagement by giving preferential treatment
01:51:23.680 to a romantic partner another executive attempting to hire a niece and an employee holding down
01:51:28.800 another full-time job in the public service this doesn't surprise me um because this like
01:51:33.900 a lot of people i know got their job with uh the minute like with the government through nepotism
01:51:39.280 through knowing somebody or being related to somebody,
01:51:42.120 so it doesn't really, it surprises me it's just coming out now,
01:51:45.960 but it doesn't surprise me at all.
01:51:47.760 I expected, oh yeah, it was at the Immigration, Citizenship, and Refugee Canada,
01:51:53.040 which is the latest department to publish their report on misconduct and wrongdoing.
01:51:57.580 So let me see, let me guess, are they giving people passports for free?
01:52:01.080 Or passports without checking?
01:52:03.440 The cases range from the innocuous, such as calling in sick to attend a conference,
01:52:06.640 to blogging as a self-identified Canadian diplomat where they express political views
01:52:12.700 and discuss aspects of their work at the embassy including private conversations with embassy
01:52:16.660 staff and views on the country's people and government. They also like to hire the biggest
01:52:22.900 morons in the country to work in these positions because they're hiring all DEI you know specials 1.00
01:52:28.260 right. Some other founded cases include cases of racism well can't complain about that sexual 1.00
01:52:35.840 harassment claiming overtime not worked and an employee's providing false references in a
01:52:39.960 staffing process that led to an acting opportunity elsewhere in government again this is the same
01:52:46.100 government that is bringing in students where the minister of immigration at the time
01:52:51.960 came out and said that they weren't doing background checks before they let them in the
01:52:57.080 country because some countries don't have a robust you know record-keeping system on this
01:53:02.000 so instead of being like you know what we're not going to let people in from there because they
01:53:05.480 don't have good records on their people or criminals they said well it's not that big of a
01:53:10.700 deal he looks all right we'll let him in right so the fact that it's just like they write this and
01:53:16.140 maybe they're maybe nobody is surprised but the news breaks this out like oh my god this is just 0.87
01:53:21.120 you know something that just happened fuck off it's been happening for a long time and there's
01:53:25.220 probably a hell of a lot worse that's going on that you know hasn't come to light yet um and then 0.98
01:53:30.400 the last thing was the founded case of fraud and financial misconduct 22 cases of harassment
01:53:34.480 violence and disrespectful behavior and eight breaches of values and ethics codes
01:53:38.460 when i disrespectful behavior is something i struggle with because what is disrespectful
01:53:44.080 nowadays anything is disrespectful so you know whatever right but the fact that like i said
01:53:50.380 people are acting shocked that it happens come on how do you think half of these people do you
01:53:54.520 think that these low iq you know people that you end up talking to at the cra were really the best
01:54:00.100 person for the job like I think most people know by now that that is not the case they're not the
01:54:05.400 best people for the job they're simply hiring people over DEI requirements nepotism you know 0.83
01:54:10.800 in an effort to get you know people into the country so they have a job like it's all fucking 0.98
01:54:15.060 interconnected it's like a web of bullshit that we're you know dealing with here in Canada and 0.98
01:54:20.160 you know like I said earlier there's really no solution politically you have to change the
01:54:26.520 culture before you can change really anything else so that's why it's important to have you
01:54:31.100 know groups like i said the dominion society which we talked about at the beginning
01:54:34.040 out there and kind of helping to change the culture because nothing is going to change like
01:54:40.020 even if a new government was elected even if the conservatives pp was elected he's not even he
01:54:45.580 doesn't even address the issues that the main issue the main driver of all the problems in
01:54:50.160 canada right now is immigration and i you can't argue to me otherwise because these problems we
01:54:55.740 had, we may have had 10, 15 years ago, but they were minute in scale compared to what they are
01:55:01.020 now. So that is the only thing that has changed. So you can't lie to me and tell me that it has
01:55:06.540 nothing to do with immigration. It has everything to do with immigration and PP refuses to even
01:55:11.740 address that. And that's because most of his, you know, cabinet or most of his party rather
01:55:16.320 are Indian. So, you know, why would he say anything about it, right? You're not going
01:55:21.560 to bite the hand that feeds you so that's it basically so anyways that's it we've almost hit
01:55:26.980 the two hour mark and I'm out of steam already I didn't have like I said I didn't have really a
01:55:30.760 whole lot planned because I got messed up with the holiday and everything like that so but I was you
01:55:35.060 know looking at this whole joint agreement uh suspension and just wondering how that was going
01:55:40.420 to affect us because I've always said that you know the US or Canada is going to suffer a major
01:55:44.900 blow from the US because they've depended on the US for defense and all that for so long and
01:55:50.300 eventually you know the US is going to be like okay well it's time to pay your dues you know
01:55:54.360 you can't just keep riding on our coattails because of your geography oh thanks Joshua yeah 0.99
01:56:00.160 you know what I actually googled because I couldn't figure it out I was like why the fuck 0.89
01:56:03.720 is it and so I used a google today to try to figure out what the issue was because I have
01:56:08.680 like a soundboard I have like a all these other things and I couldn't figure it out and it's just
01:56:12.280 a stupid setting um on the in the streaming software that I just clicked off and I guess
01:56:17.700 that must have worked. So I appreciate you thanking me for that. Because like I said, 0.97
01:56:23.380 it did bother me. And I couldn't figure out how to fix it until I googled it, which I should have
01:56:27.960 done a lot sooner. Anyways, I will see you guys tomorrow. Okay, so tomorrow, I will stream it.
01:56:34.840 But we're doing our space with Australian Blair Cottrell, who is not, you know, wasn't part of
01:56:40.340 the NSN or anything like that. But he is a nationalist. And he, you know, has quite a lot of
01:56:45.120 opinions on what's going on. He's going to kind of give us the update about what's going on in
01:56:49.560 Australia with this new law that's going to get you 15 years for, you know, showing your disapproval
01:56:54.140 of immigration. So yeah, we'll be talking to him at eight o'clock and I'll stream it on here if you
01:56:59.880 don't want to listen to it on X. And then other than that, I'll see you on Saturday so we can go
01:57:04.540 over the clown show that is Canada. We never, we never run out of content. So yeah, I'll see you
01:57:10.020 Saturday, probably around two o'clock, but I'll put it out. Thanks for joining guys and listening
01:57:15.400 to me ramble on for two hours, and I will see you guys next time.
