00:01:10.780 A snowstorm hits Winnipeg in the midst of an Andrew Scheer campaign event, and CBC blames Andrew Scheer.

00:01:25.280 And the NDP continue to have an alt-right anti-Semitism problem.

00:01:29.700 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:01:40.780 Hey everybody, we're in the homestretch of this election campaign, thank God.

00:01:54.620 Which means, though, the crazy anti-conservative rhetoric from the CBC is going to be as ramped up and off the hook as ever.

00:02:02.900 And NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says he's open to a coalition with the Liberals to keep those corrupt Liberals in power.

00:02:09.920 Now, Jagmeet Singh himself has a bit of an anti-Israel problem that nobody outside of Jewish media is really talking about.

00:02:17.880 In fact, many prominent people in the NDP have the exact same views on the right of the state of Israel to exist as your run-of-the-mill alt-right neo-Nazi kook.

00:02:28.260 Joining me to talk about the storm that hit Manitoba, and how CBC twisted themselves into some sort of pretzel to use bad weather to attack the conservative leader Andrew Scheer.

00:02:38.280 And all the anti-Israel madness coming from the NDP that the mainstream media just doesn't want to talk about is independent Winnipeg journalist Marty Gold in an interview we recorded yesterday afternoon.

00:02:51.980 Joining me now from snowy Winnipeg, Manitoba is my friend, good friend of the show, Marty Gold from the J.ca.

00:03:15.400 Hey, Marty. Lots happening in Manitoba politics.

00:03:20.060 Manitoba, while it's frozen, has become a bit of a political hot potato for the conservatives based on some of the coverage we're seeing in the ungodly CBC.

00:03:34.940 Oh, not just CBC.

00:03:40.780 CTV, I think, hopped on the same bandwagon.

00:03:44.240 And the Free Press ran a story that I think was a Canadian press byline that, again, focused on the grievances of people who have been relocated on an emergency basis from the Interlake region of Manitoba.

00:04:02.620 They've been hustled down to Winnipeg because of absolute power loss in numerous communities.

00:04:07.400 I know there is a grouping of six communities in particular, including a place like, I think it was Lake Manitoba Reserve in Little Saskatchewan that had previously been evacuated probably, I was probably like seven, five or six or seven years ago.

00:04:24.200 So these people in these communities have already been through a lot.

00:04:28.060 They are being shuffled around in Winnipeg, you know, on a very ad hoc basis.

00:04:35.120 And for some reason, the Scheer campaign showing up in a not spur of the moment, part of their itinerary, showing up at a hotel where some of them were lodged and being dislodged, being moved to, you know, more, how should I put this?

00:04:52.760 It's places where they are planted to stay for a longer period of time, at least initially, you know, like a week or whatever, until they move them out of shelters.

00:05:01.480 And they start bellyaching like Scheer should, I don't know, pick up a sandbag or whatever.

00:05:07.340 And it's just beyond ludicrous, the kind of criticism where, I mean, and I would say this in defense of Jagmeet Singh or any other campaign, even Justin Trudeau that showed up in a scheduled matter, and they're taking advantage of the national press.

00:05:22.860 The state of emergency, this is not a catastrophe in the realm of natural disasters that we see across the world.

00:05:32.380 There are certainly communities, numerous communities that are without power here and went down for days on end, but there was no humanitarian crisis.

00:05:44.540 There was not people, you know, being swept away in floodwaters, people being buried in snow banks or anything of the sort.

00:05:52.040 But you hear the term, you know, state of emergency and automatically politicians that are going about the usual business of elections are suddenly subject to criticism, surely for one reason, because of the color of their ballot, so to speak.

00:06:07.820 It's just disgusting that the mainstream media, and I understand how these people are aggrieved, but, you know, the shuffling from the Radisson Hotel where the Scheer campaign appeared to wherever else they went next, and I've seen the individual in question was interviewed on CTV News or their news channel or whatever.

00:06:29.400 They're being shuffled around, not even by the Emergency Measures Organization of Manitoba, which has been my first supposition.

00:06:37.000 They've been shuffled around by, in some cases, like the Interlake Tribal Council, by their own regional government is, I guess, working with the MO in Winnipeg.

00:06:45.120 So everything's in a state of flux, but somehow it becomes Scheer's fault for showing up and for, you know, frankly, you're showing up in a province you're not from, the whole, you know, the campaign, the out-of-province media, and they don't have necessarily a grasp.

00:07:01.680 You know, you walk in, the lobby's full of people, obviously, you know, are in a shambles, the clothes on their back kind of thing.

00:07:08.420 I don't really know what the expectation was, but it seems apparent to me that when headlines seize upon, and I'll tell you who the worst is, to name names, Katie Simpson.

00:07:20.400 Katie Simpson, I sent you this tweet. 0.98

00:07:22.660 She recirculates as garbage. 1.00

00:07:25.360 And she, you know, and I think I said one or two appearances ago here on the gun show, I have friends who work at CBC. 0.99

00:07:33.680 I myself have done paid work with them.

00:07:37.560 My first paid media gig was with CBC in the entertainment department.

00:07:44.160 But it's getting harder and harder to argue against complete defunding.

00:07:47.840 When so-called journalists like Katie Simpson go in and make this the highlight, I am hard-pressed to find any stories that discuss what was Andrew Scheer's message to Manitobans.

00:08:01.320 What policy did he enunciate for the national platform?

00:08:06.840 Did he speak?

00:08:08.260 And this is something I want to see Scheer talk about, Singh talk about, Trudeau talk about, Bernier talk about.

00:08:15.320 Manitoba collects an exorbitant amount of transfer payments.

00:08:20.260 I did not look into this, even look at this, actually, until the weekend when I stumbled across it.

00:08:25.580 Nobody's discussing how to turn Manitoba from a have-not province into a have-province.

00:08:32.300 Every candidate for parliament in Manitoba should be talking about this.

00:08:37.060 How do we turn the corner?

00:08:38.400 I'm hoping that when the hydro disaster is done, I've got, you know, various information, you know, I can share with the audience about how bad it is.

00:08:45.920 But when this is done, the emergency assistance, which Manitoba rightfully can claim, and then the city of Winnipeg, with its state of emergency, can also claim back from the province of Manitoba for repair to, in particular, in the city, the number of trees.

00:09:03.280 And I sent you photos that you're free to use.

00:09:05.060 The number of trees that, like, every street, literally, a four-block radius near my office in St. Boniface, every street at either one end or the other, like one block stretch from, you know, two east-west streets bounding it, every one, two, three, four streets in a row blocked by fallen trees.

00:09:25.700 Roadway's impassable.

00:09:27.260 Nobody that I've grown up with here worked with over the years.

00:09:30.340 We've never seen anything approaching this.

00:09:32.640 The damage was a lot less in the east side of the city.

00:09:37.280 A lot of parks, Coronation Park at St. Boniface is devastated.

00:09:40.860 Kildona Park has some damage, but, you know, not nearly the same.

00:09:44.480 So this storm affected different parts of the city in different ways.

00:09:48.040 When we're done collecting our disaster assistance, trying to get the hydro system up and running, getting people relocated to their homes, their home communities, there has to be, you know, it should probably be a national discussion.

00:10:00.980 How does Manitoba, Premier Palace or the opposition parties, Winnipeg is the economy that drives this province, how do we get pulled up by our bootstraps so we stop draining the Canadian economy and being a province that relies, is forced to rely on equalization payments?

00:10:21.700 I'm hoping that this conversation will be spurred.

00:10:26.480 I personally would have liked to see Mr. Scheer and his appearance in Winnipeg talk about something like that.

00:10:31.260 Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.

00:10:32.700 Who knows?

00:10:33.520 The mainstream media is too busy talking with people that are blaming Andrew Scheer, who cannot order a hydro wire reconnected, who cannot order a work screw out, who cannot order snow cleared, who cannot cut a check.

00:10:49.560 You know, I understand these people are complaining they haven't gotten any disbursements, any per diems.

00:10:54.620 I understand that that's concerning.

00:10:57.020 But to go on a crap on Andrew Scheer or any other politician, including Brian Pallister, for that matter, for these shortcomings in their initial treatment of the first few days of this kind of unprecedented weather event is just unfathomable. 0.63

00:11:18.760 And the mainstream media, instead of spending a molecule of brainpower, a millisecond on thinking through, hmm, did any of these reporters push back on Madame Missy Abbott or any of the other people that were complaining and say, well, what do you think Scheer should really be able to do about? 0.93

00:11:38.760 Have you complained about the prime minister, where, you know, arguably maybe there is something the federal government can do?

00:11:44.980 I don't think there was any pushback at all because they heard exactly what they wanted to hear.

00:11:49.380 Scheer's standing in the most recent polls where consistently the liberals have fallen to 30% and below, putting Scheer in position of having the most, potentially the most seats.

00:12:02.240 And they heard exactly what some of these clowns, some of these partisans, and by the way, all good to be partisan, just declare it.

00:12:12.380 Exactly. 0.99

00:12:13.160 And the partisanship by CBC, that they took advantage of this, it's just ridiculous.

00:12:18.820 The other thing is, a lot of these reporters that I saw, as I think I noted to you privately in notes, they're filing from like Ottawa and Toronto.

00:12:25.080 They aren't even here on the ground.

00:12:26.580 Yeah.

00:12:26.780 They don't even know what's going on.

00:12:28.820 It's very unfair all the way around.

00:12:33.160 And I'm sure that they were just sharpening their pencil, so to speak, for the last week of the campaign, because obviously there's a great divide, certainly in the West, between how people view federal politics and how the Eastern-based mainstream media wants them to think and wants them to see things.

00:12:53.360 You know, that reminds me of an article I sent you privately.

00:12:59.320 It looks as though a lot of the displaced people in Manitoba are First Nations or Indigenous people.

00:13:06.880 And I think part of the...

00:13:08.700 Yes, I think that is exclusively what's being talked about.

00:13:12.420 I haven't heard of a non-Indigenous community that was evacuated.

00:13:17.620 Right. And there's an Enveronics poll that was commissioned by APTN that shows that the liberal support from Aboriginal people, it's just plummeted.

00:13:28.460 It's down to half of what it was in 2015.

00:13:31.320 And actually, the majority of identified, like decided First Nations voters are going conservative.

00:13:39.180 And I think it's very important, and I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I'm more of a conspiracy factualist.

00:13:45.120 It looks as though the mainstream media is trying to whip up this division that Andrew Scheer doesn't care about these displaced Aboriginal folks,

00:13:52.680 because they need to do something to change the narrative that, you know, that First Nations and Indigenous people are really seeing the liberals for what they really are,

00:14:02.740 and that they've done very little in the way of getting their promises done for our First Nations communities, everything that they campaigned on back in 2015.

00:14:14.100 You know, in Manitoba, and I'm not positive in Saskatchewan, you know, there's a very strong, among Métis communities, there's a very strong conservative thread. 0.64

00:14:24.420 When I say conservative, I don't necessarily mean party-oriented, as much as values and lifestyle, you know, values of self-sufficiency and family values and things like that.

00:14:37.700 And again, I think this relates back to Eastern media, who cannot grasp that Aboriginal and First Nations communities,

00:14:49.440 that they can identify when they've been betrayed, when they've been let down by a sitting government, and they mark their ballots accordingly.

00:14:57.440 I don't think what you've expressed is a conspiracy theory whatsoever.

00:15:02.700 You know, increasingly, we see, you know, how much material have you seen during the course of the election that is focused on the threat of far-right xenophobia and racism and such things,

00:15:20.280 and nothing about the threats to various ethnic groups, to community harmony, etc., coming from the far left.

00:15:28.880 Nothing, nothing. So there is definitely a theme coming from these mainstream newsrooms.

00:15:36.240 And as I said, this is going to fall on deaf ears in the West.

00:15:41.360 I don't think that this La Faire Chir, booking into the Radisson Hotel, concurrent to its emergency use as a temporary lodging for displaced persons from communities two, three, four, five hours or more away from Winnipeg.

00:16:00.320 I don't think it's going to swing any ridings in Manitoba, and I don't think it's going to swing very many votes.

00:16:07.440 I think that there's going to be a reckoning after this election with media, whether it's with publishers, whether it's with managing editors, the people that run newsrooms.

00:16:24.140 They're going to have to take a careful look at how they cover things when the West, including British Columbia, ends up with, you know, 12 liberal seats, maybe 10 or 12 NDP seats and two green seats and the rest of it, you know, 70 or more, whatever the actual number is, probably closer to 80 or 85, are going to be conservative seats.

00:16:43.580 They're going to really look at how well they are reflecting their own communities and the values of those communities.

00:16:50.680 Now, whether they do it or not, you know, it might be at their peril.

00:16:54.420 But I think that there will be, at least in Western Canada, a bit of a shift in the relationship between the media and the news consumers.

00:17:02.320 Now, that may be good news for people like yourself, people like myself that are independent and a lot closer to centrist positions.

00:17:14.180 You know, a lot of the stuff that you and I espouse are viewed as being right wing, but they are, in fact, really centrist, moderate positions in terms of the Canadian traditions.

00:17:22.460 This might be good news for people like ourselves that, you know, are free to take swings in both directions, whether it's at the political right or the political left.

00:17:35.640 I know that, you know, this campaign in Manitoba has been singularly unremarkable.

00:17:42.240 There's been no real bellwether moment from any of the candidates, really, so to speak.

00:17:54.040 The candidates are really like, you know, heads down kind of here.

00:17:59.800 No candidate for parliament in Manitoba has really tried to seize a headline with any particular pronouncement or stunt.

00:18:07.280 And one thing that's happening here, I'll mention parenthetically, is there is definitely absolutely voter fatigue coming through the Manitoba campaign and now this one.

00:18:17.620 And the storm, which was, as I say, unprecedented.

00:18:22.320 My brother, who has not lived here in, oh, geez, he moved away 35 years ago.

00:18:27.540 And he messaged me the other night in between Jewish, you know, Jewish religious holidays, like with just like one word with a question mark, snow.

00:18:36.460 So we've had that we had one ice, one snow event here in 1985, where it was only 10, 10 centimeters of snow.

00:18:46.580 But the wind and the temperature created sheets of ice that the next day people had to chisel into their cars.

00:18:54.860 This is in the 80s.

00:18:55.980 So you had to use a key entry to get in the driver's side.

00:18:59.120 You couldn't chisel through the ice to get in your doors.

00:19:01.700 And the city commissioners were out writing tickets for people who couldn't move their cars.

00:19:06.300 So a lot of us remember that.

00:19:08.700 That is the only time there's been anything, even remotely, that disrupted everyday life in Winnipeg because of snow.

00:19:17.880 And so that is especially, listen, I was exhausted Saturday because I was outside shoveling just to be able to make sure I wasn't overwhelmed on Saturday and Sunday here.

00:19:27.560 I was exhausted and people that have been campaigning for all the parties knocking on the doors, they're beat.

00:19:34.340 And the end of the campaign will come as a welcome relief, not just to people like yourself and myself in certain respects, but just the people of Manitoba, people, especially Winnipeg, are just going to be very, very glad to have that behind them, I think.

00:19:46.820 Yeah, I can relate. Alberta's been in this state of constant campaign mode for the last two years. 1.00

00:19:52.600 It was first for Jason Kenney to win the PC leadership.

00:19:56.820 Then it was unity between the two parties.

00:19:58.880 And then it was, you know, campaigning to defeat the NDP.

00:20:03.500 And now it's campaigning in the federal election.

00:20:05.380 And it just seems like one of those exhausting American election cycles that takes two years.

00:20:10.960 That's what we've been in in Alberta.

00:20:13.800 Alberta, you sent me some interesting, the Manitoba seats forecast.

00:20:19.500 It looks like the Liberals are likely to drop four seats, some to Conservatives, obviously, and it looks like they're losing one to the NDP.

00:20:30.440 Yeah, we can go through that very quickly.

00:20:32.320 I have looked at some other, since the prognostication, not my own.

00:20:39.900 This was, is it Canada 338 is the website?

00:20:44.700 I'm trying to remember.

00:20:46.980 I've looked at a couple of other, I stumbled across a couple of other pollsters.

00:20:50.840 There's a couple of real outliers there.

00:20:53.200 They rely more so on predicting national results.

00:20:57.720 And there's one that thinks the Liberals are like at 156 seats or something like absurd number.

00:21:02.080 I'm satisfied that this chart is, is, is accurate.

00:21:06.220 And, and I asked around a little bit last evening in preparation for this, the seats that are up in the, up in the air, up for grabs, so to speak.

00:21:17.360 The ultra hyphenated Charleswood, St. James, Assiniboia, Headingley, the far west part of Winnipeg, Headingley is actually a separate municipality.

00:21:27.160 Dr. Doug Elfson of the Liberals won an upset last time around, aided by the fact that the NDP candidate had been forced out.

00:21:35.820 So that moved some left of center votes towards him in defeat of Stephen Fletcher.

00:21:43.300 Fletcher running in for the People's Party.

00:21:45.280 There was a poll out there that showed he was influencing the election.

00:21:51.520 The prognostication we saw is that the Conservatives, Marty Morantz, former city councilor, he was a one-term city councilor.

00:21:59.040 And Marty has been, who I know personally and have for about 10 years.

00:22:03.580 Marty's, comes across a very humble guy, very, very, you know, he evokes the, the, the personality of somebody who's an old style public servant.

00:22:17.180 Like he's not running for politics for a job.

00:22:19.260 He go to work in the family business.

00:22:21.020 He's a lawyer, et cetera.

00:22:22.940 But Marty's been door knocking a lot.

00:22:24.940 He's very lucky.

00:22:25.740 He bailed out on city hall in 24, in the 2014 election.

00:22:30.480 So he's not tainted by anything that's gone wrong under Brian Bowman.

00:22:36.820 And Marty is, he's, he's made a good impression of the Doors, but Fletcher does too.

00:22:50.020 I, you know, I misspoke myself actually.

00:22:51.800 Marty, I think bailed out in the 2018 election.

00:22:54.580 Fletcher makes a great impression of Doors.

00:22:56.360 I've heard this from a couple of people because they're so used to Stephen Fletcher.

00:22:59.120 They're used to seeing him and they, they don't, his voters don't have the kinds of concerns that are enunciated about the People's Party, about Bernier's other candidates, et cetera.

00:23:08.660 Ailfsson grates on people a little bit.

00:23:11.700 He's got a bit of a reputation as do, you know, he's a surgeon and sometimes they've got, you know, a bit of a, a bit of an ego.

00:23:18.980 And, and there's also a view that he didn't deliver for the riding.

00:23:23.260 So the question is whether Morantz is going to be pulled down, dragged down by, by anything that goes sideways because of the, because of the Fletcher influence, so to speak.

00:23:38.320 Another riding that, where the Liberals are in, in some trouble is Kildonan St. Paul, where I think it started going in reverse for Marianne Mahaychuk once she was removed from cabinet.

00:23:49.480 Again, I've known her personally for a number of years.

00:23:52.100 And she's facing a candidate who's a real rising star and the Manitoba Conservatives, Raquel Dancho, who's, you know, again, the, the ground campaign and, and Dancho has a lot of good provincial connections from a past candidacy.

00:24:13.100 Um, it's been known that Mahaychuk was going to be in trouble in this, in, in that riding for a while.

00:24:18.880 I, I, I, I don't know that she's, uh, you know, the ground game, I think is not what, what she needed to be able to recover.

00:24:29.200 In, uh, Winnipeg Centre, uh, Robert Falcon Ouellette is in very tough against the star candidate for the NDP, Leah Gazan.

00:24:37.500 She is, uh, you know, I've never seen her identified as a Marxist, but the endorsement she got this weekend from Naomi Klein tells me she is, uh, Gazan is, uh, of the, uh, in terms of Manitoba politics, she's in the Nehemi Fontaine wing of the NDP, uh, very big on the, uh, on the anti-capitalism, uh, colonialism bandwagon, uh, anti-bandwagon, so to speak.

00:25:00.480 And, uh, they've thrown a lot of resources, not in, for instance, where the aforementioned Madame Fontaine, uh, the deputy leader of the Manitoba provincial NDP, they haven't thrown their resources into Winnipeg North to try to knock off Kevin Lamoureux, who originally in 2004 or whatever it was, only won the seat by like under 50 votes.

00:25:19.200 They've given up on trying to knock off Kevin Lamoureux in Winnipeg North, and they've thrown a lot of NDP resources, uh, into the, into that riding.

00:25:26.700 Uh, similarly, you know, the NDP in Kildona and St. Paul, which is, uh, again, a north, north side riding.

00:25:33.700 Evan Crosney's run a very strong campaign for the NDP, and that's also hurt Mahaychuk.

00:25:37.200 Mahaychuk. So they, they've focused resources there, but Ghazan is, um, you know, like I said, she's a rising star, uh, and, uh, and has the U of W University Winnipeg crowd behind her as well.

00:25:51.900 Uh, and, and Ouellette just had a lot of bad, bad press right from when he started.

00:25:58.680 Uh, as, uh, as a member of parliament, uh, I think there was the aborted, uh, run for, for speaker and other things.

00:26:05.940 Again, I, I, I've mentioned on this program, I am, have good, very good personal relationships with a number of these members of parliament, liberal members of parliament we're speaking of.

00:26:14.420 Uh, but, you know, Ouellette benefited that when he ran, uh, in 2015, he was the fresh face and Pat Martin was the tired face.

00:26:22.740 Yeah.

00:26:22.900 That had outworn his NDP welcome. And now Ouellette is carrying the burden of, you know, and he's done some great work in the constituency, but, um, not as much at the door knocking level, I think, as people were hoping to see, uh, the voters themselves.

00:26:41.080 And number two, he's, I think that the Trudeau thing weighs around him like an anchor.

00:26:45.560 Yeah.

00:26:46.400 Uh, in, in riding with a lot of, as you mentioned, riding a lot of Aboriginal support.

00:26:51.180 If it swings back the NDP, it's no big, uh, no big surprise in Winnipeg South right now, Terry Dugood is seen as being behind Melanie Mayer.

00:26:59.920 She has a, uh, lot of, um, experience in the provincial, uh, I was going to say bureaucracy.

00:27:07.860 I think she was a, uh, more civil servant, uh, than a paper pusher, but she's, she's got a good grounding, uh, very experienced, uh, in provincial conservative politics.

00:27:17.700 Uh, and, and, and Dugood, you know, was considered kind of lucky to win the last time.

00:27:22.560 He's a perpetual, uh, bridesmaid in Manitoba politics.

00:27:26.560 Uh, uh, uh, the sense was that he was in a toss up the, the, uh, prediction that we saw in the indication is that he's behind Winnipeg South Center speaking in toss ups, Jim Carr in a toss up against Joyce Bateman.

00:27:40.100 And I don't know that there's a less popular conservative candidate in Manitoba than Bateman.

00:27:47.860 A lot of people were not very happy, um, that she, uh, had the nomination.

00:27:54.240 She's, um, uh, you know, pre her career is most notable here at site from the federal stuff as a Winnipeg school board.

00:28:03.200 I think she was the chair of the Winnipeg school board at one point and for Jim Carr to be in a position to be, even be in a tie with Joyce Bateman is, uh, who does not have, you know, not every conservative is behind her.

00:28:16.900 Yeah.

00:28:17.280 I think it's a good way of putting it.

00:28:18.540 People were hoping for a more vibrant, a younger candidate.

00:28:21.560 If he's losing to her, a Bateman would have a good ground game. 0.98

00:28:25.040 Yes.

00:28:25.600 But B boy, that tells you, that tells you that Jim Carr is as the senior regional minister, similar to, I guess, to what's happening with Ralph Goodale.

00:28:33.500 Right.

00:28:33.960 In Saskatchewan, that he's wearing that Trudeau anchor.

00:28:36.860 One other, that's a toss up, uh, St. Bonneville, St. Patel, Dan Vandel, who had a good early start to the campaign.

00:28:45.420 Um, and Regine Caron in the last three weeks, she's a police officer, uh, who's very conservative.

00:28:52.740 Her messaging is, uh, very law and order.

00:28:56.000 And she has in the last three weeks, the signs for her, not that I count signs per se.

00:29:03.520 But it's been obvious that there's been a swing towards her in different parts of, uh, of the rioting.

00:29:09.200 It's pretty expansive.

00:29:10.760 And Vandel is in tough.

00:29:12.100 I know that his campaign was very optimistic.

00:29:14.500 Um, about 10 days ago, they, uh, they felt that they were in good shape.

00:29:18.680 All their signs were getting out.

00:29:19.880 They had a lot of ground support.

00:29:21.340 Um, but, uh, that is definitely in toss up territory.

00:29:27.340 So when we go through the list, oh, one other, uh, the NDP, Daniel Blakey, a member of the Blakey political dynasty, uh, took the Elmwood Transcona riding, uh, in the last election by very small margin.

00:29:41.840 Lawrence Toad on the comeback trail, uh, a lot of time to prepare, uh, and, uh, and the, uh, Toad campaign, uh, has been quietly confident.

00:29:51.980 The polling is showing that Blakey is, uh, is behind this.

00:29:57.500 This, I think, is a surprise to some people, maybe an indication Blakey, um, uh, was relying too much on the family dynasty, the Bill Blakey tradition.

00:30:08.180 Uh, but, uh, uh, and Toad has his detractors.

00:30:11.740 Uh, he's very socially conservative, uh, but he's had a, um, a very good, uh, you know, like those are the kinds of campaigns, Toad, for instance, where you'd expect there'd be some bomb thrown at him of something that he, he might've said that, that would irk people who don't like social conservatives.

00:30:27.500 In all these writings that I've mentioned, there's been, you know, none of that tactically has gone on.

00:30:33.820 Uh, these writings that we've talked about just now are all Winnipeg writings, uh, outside of Winnipeg.

00:30:38.820 I don't recall seeing that any of them looked like they were, and I'm just scanning the list now.

00:30:44.340 Uh, these are places like Portage, Liz, Gar, uh, uh, uh, none of these look like they're moving.

00:30:50.640 And that the, uh, Nikki Ashton holds the Churchill, uh, seat and she seems to be ahead of a liberal member of the legislature.

00:30:58.960 Uh, Judy Claussen had quit to run for the federal party.

00:31:01.720 And I think she's, uh, she's learning that the provincial popularity she had is not translated very well onto the federal stage.

00:31:08.900 Uh, so Ashton could hold on and end up being the lone NDP member of, uh, of the, uh, national, uh, NDP caucus in Ottawa after October 21st.

00:31:21.740 Yeah, it's, uh, interesting.

00:31:23.080 And that's the rundown.

00:31:23.860 It's interesting to see these regional, uh, cabinet ministers for Trudeau in some very serious trouble.

00:31:30.500 For example, uh, Amarjeet Sohi in Edmonton, he's going to lose that riding by 20, 15 points to Tim Uppel.

00:31:38.420 And he barely won by less than a hundred votes last time.

00:31:42.440 Um, so it's interesting to see, like you say, uh, Trudeau hanging like a millstone around their necks.

00:31:49.300 Um, boy, I'd love to see.

00:31:51.080 You know, I don't remember.

00:31:52.180 I'd love to see Goodale gone.

00:31:53.100 I don't remember the exact details, but it strikes me that the 1972 election, for those of us that are very old, uh, and follow politics in our childhood, that, uh, the, that was the election where Trudeau senior won 109 to 108, uh, over Bob Stanfield.

00:32:11.140 And if I'm remembering correctly, a number of, uh, Trudeau cabinet members, uh, felt the wrath of the voters in 72.

00:32:19.000 And so that family tradition for Justin Trudeau seemingly is, uh, has the potential to continue.

00:32:23.960 It would, if, you know, if, if Jim Carr were to fall and Ralph Goodale, uh, even if the Trudeau liberals were to pull out, uh, a, a victory in the seat count, it'd be very, very hard for any, anybody to take seriously.

00:32:40.180 Uh, that, uh, that, that, that there was any legitimacy to a federal liberal government when their senior, most senior cabinet ministers in the West, uh, go down to defeat.

00:32:51.520 It would, it would, uh, clearly indicate, uh, uh, a, an increasing gap, an increasing divide between the Eastern establishment that runs that party and the sensibilities.

00:33:02.580 And I say sensibilities, not sensitivities of, um, liberal and, and, and mid range voters in the, across the prairies and in Alberta.

00:33:13.640 Yeah. 0.99

00:33:14.280 It's, uh, you know, look, Ralph, Ralph Goodale's needed his, Ralph Goodale's needed his ass kicked for a long time. 0.99

00:33:18.920 So if that happens, good for him. 0.99

00:33:20.980 Yeah.

00:33:21.220 Yeah.

00:33:21.620 There's a guy that deserves, uh, retirement.

00:33:24.400 Um, yeah, I think it's going to be interesting to see, um, it, the cultural divide between, uh, the big, huge blue middle of Canada, middle and West of Canada versus what it looks like on the other sides of Canada.

00:33:38.980 It's going to be very similar to the electoral map of the United States.

00:33:42.800 I predict where it was, you know, all, all blue around the coast in the middle is red flyover country.

00:33:48.520 Um, but at least in the United States, um, flyover country won the day.

00:33:53.680 Now you mentioned Nikki Ashton hanging onto her seat and, uh, that's a great segue into the next topic that I want to talk about.

00:34:02.120 Um, because we've talked secular politics, let's talk Jewish politics.

00:34:05.620 That's your other life, um, and Jewish news. 0.56

00:34:08.660 Nikki Ashton has been, uh, a really staunch proponent of BDS, boycott, divestment and sanctions.

00:34:17.180 She's called the founding of the state of Israel, the Nakba, the catastrophe.

00:34:21.400 Um, and it looks to me like the NDP have a real anti-Semitism problem in their party.

00:34:31.040 Um, they've come, they've come out as pro BDS and, uh, you guys at the J.ca, you even have, um, some pretty breaking news, um, with regard to that.

00:34:43.440 So why don't you give us a bit of the rundown?

00:34:46.540 Well, sure.

00:34:47.220 I, the, there's a, an organization called the Canada Palestine Association.

00:34:53.280 This is, again, one of these, uh, Marxist oriented, uh, uh, uh, you know, far, far left, uh, liberation theology organizations.

00:35:02.760 And they sent out questionnaires to all the political parties.

00:35:05.360 Uh, I will preface this by saying, I have not seen, I have not searched for the response they got from the other political leaders.

00:35:11.680 Uh, so I can't compare the NDP response to, uh, the other replies that they got.

00:35:17.160 They sent out a questionnaire with, uh, nine or 10 questions on it.

00:35:20.640 I truncated what I sent, uh, what I sent to you.

00:35:24.600 Uh, and I, and I, we don't know who, who prepared the responses for the federal NDP or who signed off on it.

00:35:35.280 Uh, but the questions that were sent, uh, included, do you recognize the right of Canadians to support BDS movement?

00:35:40.900 Answer, yes.

00:35:42.880 Do you oppose condemning or criminalizing people organizations to support the BDS movement?

00:35:47.820 Yes.

00:35:48.860 Uh, do you oppose the anti-Palestinian?

00:35:51.200 And, and all of these questions were framed, were loaded, uh, in this kind of a manner.

00:35:56.100 Do you oppose the anti-Palestinian, anti-democratic and politically charged IHRA definition of anti-Semitism?

00:36:03.860 Uh, the NDP tries to have it both ways. 0.99

00:36:07.000 If they, uh, say we believe the government of Canada must have a clear definition of anti-Semitism so we can better gauge, report, and work towards ending it,

00:36:15.400 we have some concerns that the IRHA definition and its associated examples could undermine those who wish to speak out, speak out in favor of the human rights of Palestinians.

00:36:25.000 So, you now have a federal NDP, uh, and whether Jagmeet Singh saw this in initial that or not, I don't know, that it has now come out in support of BDS, in spite of the BDS movement, uh, being entirely, uh, again, if it focused solely on products in so-called disputed territories, there were clearly disputed territories would be one thing.

00:36:46.460 This includes academic boycotts of, of Israeli science and innovation, uh, it's just, it's vile beyond belief.

00:36:54.760 It clearly has its roots in, in boycotts who are perpetrated in Arab states against Jewish businesses, in Nazi Germany.

00:37:01.280 And here's the, the NDP in the middle of a federal election campaign where they're, uh, where they're saying, no, BDS is legitimate.

00:37:08.960 And, you know, definitions of, of anti-Semitism that lump in BDS support and the BDS philosophy is being anti-Semitic.

00:37:19.080 Oh, geez, we've got some concerns.

00:37:21.500 Uh, listen, just say it. 0.82

00:37:24.200 Jews should not vote for the NDP, uh, or, and, uh, let me rephrase it. 0.99

00:37:28.180 Jews that support the, the existence of the state of Israel should not vote for the NDP. 0.96

00:37:32.660 They, you know, frankly, they probably could care less if Jews voted for the NDP anyways. 0.87

00:37:36.620 Jagmeet Singh, I indicated the last time I was on with you, he's, he's, whereas Trudeau had a blackface problem, Jagmeet Singh has a, a, a, a kind of a, a color blindness or some sort of a blindness towards anti-Semitism.

00:37:48.800 Um, Ron East, uh, our publisher, had sent a, uh, correspondence to Mr. Singh at the invitation to the NDP when he raised some concerns about a particular, uh, uh, character who cloaks himself in the guise of a human rights activist in Toronto.

00:38:05.360 Uh, and the fact that this guy had a picture taken with, uh, with Singh and was, uh, waving it around as a form of, uh, you know, legitimizing himself, uh, Husseini al-Najim, uh, and, uh, Ron had,

00:38:18.660 sent, uh, Jagmeet Singh, uh, an email indicating that, uh, there'd been a problem with this fellow in August and September, casing out Jewish synagogues, uh, harassing a, a lapsed Muslim woman who was very, uh, pro-Israel in a supermarket.

00:38:34.820 Uh, uh, uh, he, Ron asked Singh to denounce, uh, al-Najim and the anti-Semitism he espouses and to ensure anti-Semitism doesn't have a home in the NDP party.

00:38:48.200 Uh, he did not run, did not get a response from Jagmeet Singh, and we now have seen the NDP have moved the goalposts so that BDS and anti-Semites who are at the foundation, at the core of the BDS movement in Canada, uh, uh, the likes of Nicky Ashton, for instance, they're completely at home in the NDP.

00:39:07.480 So that's really, you know, that's really comforting to Jewish voters from coast to coast.

00:39:12.940 Uh, there's, I think, just under 400,000 people who identify as Jewish in this country.

00:39:17.440 Um, now, this, uh, character that, uh, Singh will not address, uh, he, on Facebook, proclaimed that he was campaigning actively with the NDP in Toronto and, uh, made a number of lovely candidates, uh, lovely comments, rather.

00:39:33.340 Uh, New York is a Zionist base. 0.72

00:39:35.640 Allah brought me here for a sacred reason.

00:39:38.340 The Zionists are controlling a lot of areas in the, around, uh, around Toronto. 0.99

00:39:43.940 So I'm working with the NDP right now, he posted on Facebook.

00:39:47.820 So I'm giving those signs and flyers and stuff like that.

00:39:50.960 Uh, uh, and then he mentioned that when he knocked on a door and see somebody who's a Zionist, that they tell you to go away. 0.61

00:39:57.000 No, you're just going to welcome a character like this into your home.

00:39:59.920 Well, this created enough heat that the NDP candidate in North York disavowed him and put out a statement on October 13th that, uh, they, they diligently checked their, their campaign records.

00:40:13.640 And determined that there's no connection with the NDP campaign in York center, uh, or the writing, uh, association that he wasn't part of, uh, the candidates.

00:40:26.740 This is Andrea Velasquez Jimenez, who was a noted BDS leader in Toronto and has said some lovely things about Israel and the Jewish people in her past.

00:40:34.640 Uh, and they're claiming, uh, she's, her campaign put out a statement that she has no association, no affiliation with this guy.

00:40:40.420 So look at this, this weird situation where here's an NDP candidate that can't run away fast enough from, uh, from, uh, Al-Najim. 0.96

00:40:50.640 Um, but Jagmeet Singh was silent on the matter, uh, very strange, uh, just very strange that, uh, that, that Singh can't bring himself to do something one of his own candidates felt compelled to do.

00:41:05.280 Now, granted, it's in pursuit of, of not losing whatever Jewish votes she might be able to scrounge up in York center, but it is still kind of striking that, uh, the candidate, uh, distances herself, but the leader won't.

00:41:17.440 Uh, now, uh, one, what, what we do have that you alluded to is some exclusive news that came to us over the course of the long weekend.

00:41:26.120 Uh, someone associated, it was identified as being associated with, uh, for as Al-Najim, uh, and this, this person is, uh, more of the, he exposes a lot of neo-Nazi kind of tendencies, which is a weird alignment I know with the, you know, kind of Marxist, uh, Islamist radical, um, faction.

00:41:47.440 But, you know, when there's Jews to be picked on, it will find common cause.

00:41:51.940 Yeah.

00:41:52.500 Uh, there's, well, yeah, I mean, it just, the, the vile characters will always, in our, our beginning, as we've seen, you know, in Europe to coalesce around their, their, uh, you know, intergenerational hatred of the Jewish people and of Jewish, the Jewish culture and Jewish values.

00:42:10.600 The RCMP has been investigating a character who is, who is connected, has been connected online, uh, in the past to, uh, Firaz, uh, and they have referred the file over to a federal prosecutor.

00:42:22.480 This is in Alberta.

00:42:23.660 Uh, now the, uh, RCMP told, uh, told the J.ca that the prosecutor, or the investigator rather, was concerned that the, some of the comments, for instance, that have been, um, uh, accumulated and then forwarded on as examples of hate speech or, or threats of violence, that they were made, you know, some time ago, over a year ago.

00:42:49.120 And there was a concern by the investor, the RCMP investigator, that a prosecution might not, a charge might not hold because nothing has happened in the last year as, you know, as though that's a real valid measuring stick.

00:43:01.800 So this is now in the hands of a, in a, in essence, a Trudeau government prosecutor during the election campaign.

00:43:07.440 I don't know that we'd expect any kind of decision about a prosecution for, uh, hate speech or, or, uh, or making threats, uh, based on, uh, national origin, et cetera.

00:43:18.140 I don't know that we'd expect that to come out, but it's been made clear that if, if the decision is made, this isn't prosecutable, something happens either by this person or with their encouragement in the future, that this is, would cause, uh, a great uproar that would not go away very quickly.

00:43:37.960 Uh, here's a situation where people have taken note of very vile, very violent comments and threats, have forwarded them on to the RCMP, but now suddenly they view things.

00:43:50.380 This is where somebody said something 20 years ago, 30 years ago, 60 years ago, when they were flirting with the, you know, the remnants of the Nazi party in Argentina or something, or, you know, in Bolivia.

00:44:02.280 Uh, this, these are comments made in Canada, in Alberta in the last year, uh, and the RCMP is hesitant to pull the trigger, uh, on, on laying a charge, not because they doubt the validity of what's been, been reported to them, but because of the notion that somehow, uh, you know, some legal principle would be applied.

00:44:23.380 So the, the, the, the, the comment made was, uh, a good defense lawyer would blah, blah, blah.

00:44:28.280 And my retort, uh, uh, and I, I run East, you know, shares his point of view with me at the J.ca.

00:44:36.860 Maybe a good defense lawyer would be able to try to poke holes in a, in a prosecution based on, on these comments and, and that it's in the last year, he didn't do anything.

00:44:45.180 Did he didn't, didn't like punch out a Jew or set fire to a synagogue or something.

00:44:48.360 Uh, but a good prosecutor would rip that argument to shreds.

00:44:53.480 Uh, and, uh, maybe the problem here is that the RCMP in reality doesn't have faith in the prosecutors, the federal prosecution branch, uh, not to, you know, not to drop the ball.

00:45:03.620 Maybe that was the hidden message, but I don't know.

00:45:05.620 We have faith in the RCMP.

00:45:07.280 We've had good, uh, good discussions with them, with Winnipeg police, other law enforcement with regards to the research.

00:45:12.800 Then information that comes to our attention about anti-Semites, uh, uh, about, uh, um, uh, Islamist radicals, et cetera.

00:45:21.000 Uh, and, uh, we're gonna, we are going to be watching eagerly to see what happens with this file and whether, uh, a, uh, charges are brought forward against this individual who, uh, believe me, um, you know, when you hear these people talk about who does or doesn't have a place, uh, you know, Prime Minister Trudeau is always, uh, very quick to tell somebody who's a critic.

00:45:42.640 Your views don't have a place in Canadian society.

00:45:46.400 This is an example of the kinds of individuals who definitely don't have a place in society, uh, in the, in the traditional view of what, what our values are.

00:45:56.840 But in some cases they've been, you know, people that associate with them, people that, that, that hold the same viewpoints, that espouse the same kind of violent rhetoric.

00:46:05.620 They have a place seemingly within the federal NDP.

00:46:08.540 Uh, not a very comforting, not a very comforting thought.

00:46:11.880 Yeah.

00:46:12.480 When the far left and the far right hold hands, it's always because of the Jews every single time. 1.00

00:46:19.360 Um, Marty, uh, I know you probably have snow to shovel and we're recording this Tuesday.

00:46:24.320 I have to get across the province to a book signing.

00:46:27.340 Um, how can.

00:46:28.460 No, actually it melted.

00:46:29.800 Oh, great.

00:46:30.600 Good.

00:46:31.500 Good.

00:46:31.720 So you probably have a flooded basement.

00:46:33.340 Um, how can people find your work, um, both in your, your secular journalism and with the J.ca and how, more importantly, how can they help support your work to keep you going?

00:46:46.420 Uh, I've gotten, uh, some wonderful feedback, especially on Twitter from your viewers, uh, about, about my previous, uh, appearances.

00:46:58.140 Uh, the, uh, uh, my secular work, uh, secular reporting is found at the acronym for the great Canadian talk show, TGCTS.com.

00:47:09.240 Uh, and, uh, that's where I post, uh, stories.

00:47:12.180 I, I think the most recent story when this airs, I think it's probably going to be about city politics, uh, in Winnipeg and the, the fact that the city charter needs to be revised because, uh, the strong mayor model.

00:47:23.100 Uh, we have a mayor who's, uh, uh, Mayor Brian Bowman, who's very envious of, uh, Mayor Nenshi is one of his role models and Don Iverson.

00:47:30.140 And, uh, the, the way city hall is working right now is, uh, turned into undeclared party politics.

00:47:35.740 So I'm, I'm looking at putting up a story about that.

00:47:38.640 Uh, I also have a link to my previous, uh, appearance with you, uh, here on the gun show, which got, uh, my report from the, the Trudeau apology to our day one.

00:47:46.580 They got a lot of really kind words and, and good response to, to my reporting.

00:47:52.860 Uh, the J.ca is where we cover matters of importance to the Jewish community, both in Winnipeg and Western Canada, uh, as well as, uh, nationally and stories about, uh, various stories about Israel, uh, and, uh, the anti-war.

00:48:05.740 The, the, the, the scourge of antisemitism worldwide, um, in my Twitter profile, as well as, uh, on the J.ca and, uh, uh, on the, the Great Canadian Talk Show website.

00:48:17.020 Uh, there's, uh, uh, uh, links to, uh, uh, uh, PayPal and, uh, anybody can email me, contact me if they're interested in helping to, to, uh, perpetuate the kind of work that I've been doing here on the Canadian Prairie for, for many, many years, providing a, not just a Jewish perspective.

00:48:33.640 Uh, but there are, there is nobody doing the kind of work that I, that I am doing here in terms of freelance reporting, independent reporting without the influence of corporate media.

00:48:43.420 I don't depend on any government dollars, uh, whatsoever.

00:48:47.660 Um, and, uh, so I'm not going to be influenced about what to report.

00:48:51.560 If somebody needs to get, to get a good smack, they're going to get it, uh, whether they're, whether it's Premier Pallister on the one side or Wav Kanu, the NDP leader on the other side.

00:49:00.960 Uh, and, uh, and, uh, I try to, to, I try to report on stories that, that nobody else covers sometimes because I get good tips and sometimes, you know, the information's out there and the media doesn't recognize that stories about the little guy, stories about people being oppressed by bureaucracy, stories about, uh, about people who want to make a difference and are told they can't, uh, the mainstream media, you know, if it doesn't involve a ribbon cutting, if it doesn't involve one of their, one of their favored presently aggrieved groups,

00:49:30.960 uh, you know, they, they, they dismiss covering those kinds of stories and, uh, I, I just try to bring out stuff that is, uh, is, is new information.

00:49:40.120 I mean, sometimes it's not new information, stuff I've covered before that I keep following up on, like nobody else ever criticizes the bike lobby here, for instance.

00:49:47.500 Uh, they deny that they, that one even exists.

00:49:50.360 Uh, so, you know, things like that, uh, where there's pushback to the global, and there is a globalist agenda.

00:49:56.800 I love reading now how there, there is none.

00:49:58.880 There is, uh, it's trying to influence the Western, you know, Western way of life and Western values.

00:50:04.520 And I push back against that because, uh, you know, uh, as you and I have discussed previously, a lot of people think things should be different, but they wouldn't dare actually go live someplace where it's like that now.

00:50:14.800 Amen.

00:50:15.600 Marty, I want to thank you so much for coming on the show.

00:50:17.720 You're always so generous with your time.

00:50:19.200 You break down the complex issues in a way that we can all understand.

00:50:22.440 And I look forward to the next time that you're back on the show.

00:50:24.780 I look forward to the next invitation and thank you to all the viewers for being so supportive of the work that we do.

00:50:32.140 Great.

00:50:32.520 Thanks, Marty.

00:50:32.920 Friends, would you agree with me that this has been the most divisive, disgusting election we've ever seen in our lives?

00:50:49.200 And we've all lived through the NDP's failed campaign of fear and smear against conservative voters here in Alberta.

00:50:56.160 I cannot wait for this election campaign to be over.

00:51:00.060 And I hope my friend Marty is right that this election will force a reckoning for the media and for the role they played in demonizing normal Canadians who hold deeply mainstream views on issues of climate change, pipelines, and even immigration.

00:51:15.520 Because it has been one thing for the liberals to try to score political points by demonizing normal people.

00:51:22.820 But it's an entirely other thing for the media to carry that narrative further for the liberals.

00:51:29.420 Well, everyone, that's the show for tonight.

00:51:31.220 Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:51:32.680 I'll see everybody back here in the same time, in the same place next week, where hopefully we will have some sort of new government to talk about.

00:51:41.500 And remember, don't let this government tell you that you've had too much to think.
