00:00:00.080 Hello, my friends. Boy, we're going to chew over the Canada-U.S. tiff.
00:00:04.920 Is Donald Trump serious? Is Melanie Jolie serious when she says she's going to cut off oil supplies to America?
00:00:10.340 Is that even legal? And would that push Canada into breaking up?
00:00:15.020 Would Alberta say, hey, you know what, if you're going to block our oil sales to America 0.99
00:00:18.860 and throw 100,000 Albertans out of work, why don't we take Donald Trump up on his offer to join them?
00:00:26.080 We'll have a hearty conversation about this with our friend Lauren Gunter.

00:01:38.980 All right, here's today's podcast.
00:01:46.480 Tonight, Danielle Smith is a better diplomat to America than all of the federal government combined.
00:02:00.640 I'll show you why. It's January 15th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:02:04.900 You fighting for freedom!
00:02:08.160 Shame on you, you censorious bug!
00:02:16.480 Sometimes when you say all options are on the table, you actually mean that.
00:02:24.520 I think when you say that, most of the time as a politician, it means you have no idea what you're doing.
00:02:29.980 And so you don't want to rule anything out because, who knows, maybe the journalist asking you a question
00:02:34.500 has a better suggestion than you yourself have.
00:02:36.900 In the case of a DEI quota appointee in cabinet, namely Melanie Jolie,
00:02:42.060 when she says she really is having everything on the table, it's because she has no clue what she's doing.
00:02:48.720 I refer to this interview where she says she's open to cutting off Canadian energy sales to the United States.
00:02:57.840 Here, I'll let you see it with your own eyes. Take a look.
00:03:00.200 So if these tariffs are applied, as he has threatened them to be, which we don't know the case.
00:03:03.640 He hasn't announced that, you know, the specifics.
00:03:05.860 Say 25%. I was interviewing six economists, the top six economists, the chief ones for all the big banks the other day.
00:03:13.440 And collectively, they said the hit to the economy, we're looking to the tunes of millions of jobs.
00:03:17.560 You're looking at a 3% contraction and essentially an immediate recession.
00:03:22.220 So it's in that vein against that backdrop I ask you about what retaliation would look like.
00:03:26.600 Is your government prepared to cut off supplies of energy, for example, to the United States?
00:03:32.540 What I can tell you is everything is on the table.
00:03:36.200 And that's the conversation we will have, the Prime Minister, Minister LeBlanc and myself, with the premiers next week.
00:03:42.000 And that's a conversation also I'll take to Republican senators and key Republican decision makers in Washington next week.
00:03:51.280 Because this is indeed a decision that would be taken by President-elect Trump that would have devastating impacts on Canadians.
00:04:00.500 And so for those who are watching us right now, it is important to understand that the threat is real and we're acting on it.
00:04:10.960 And that's why I'm calling every political leader in this country to be on board.
00:04:16.660 Because this is not time for division.
00:04:18.660 This is not time for weakness.
00:04:20.260 This is time of strength and unity.
00:04:21.620 I guess I would just ask, though, if you are coming forward, because it's not just the conservatives, it's all the opposition parties.
00:04:29.140 And the issue is they're becoming even more critical because they would argue, I think, the Prime Minister has put the country in this spot.
00:04:37.700 By making the decisions he did when he did it, I'm not saying it's not your decision to make, obviously, but he is the leader of your party.
00:04:44.120 By waiting until when he did, we're in a more vulnerable place where, you know, no one is really sure of exactly what's going to happen or what your government is going to pursue.
00:04:54.240 Can you impart a sense of confidence on Canadians that your government can navigate this despite the weakened position we find ourselves in?
00:05:01.540 Let's not fall into the narrative that Canadians were looking for this.
00:05:05.920 That Canadians did anything wrong to attract any form of tariff threats.
00:05:11.380 That's a false narrative.
00:05:13.100 No, that's not the narrative.
00:05:14.060 The narrative is the question is around the Prime Minister's decision and his timing.
00:05:17.620 He had multiple opportunities to do what he did.
00:05:19.440 I've had many conversations with the Foreign Minister of Mexico, with the Foreign Minister of Denmark, with my colleagues in Europe.
00:05:27.160 Trust me, nobody was completely looking forward to everything that President-elect Trump has said since he's been elected.
00:05:34.900 And by the way, he never talked about it during the elections.
00:05:41.380 We're reacting to his new rhetoric.
00:05:45.600 Now, we've gone through Trump 1.0 administration.
00:05:49.880 We've gone through tariffs because he has imposed in the past tariffs on steel and aluminum.
00:05:55.560 We had a strong response at the time.
00:05:57.900 We did a dollar for dollar retaliation package.
00:06:02.240 And we were very specific, very surgical how we were reacting.
00:06:06.860 That's what we'll do.
00:06:07.920 But at the same time, 25% on the entire Canadian economy is extremely important.
00:06:14.260 So that's why we have to put everything on the table.
00:06:17.100 Now, I don't know if that's even legally allowed.
00:06:19.200 I don't think that Canada, under the terms of the U.S. MCA trade agreement, formerly called NAFTA, I don't think that Canada can unilaterally cut off sales to the United States, except for in a condition where Canada itself is running out of oil.
00:06:36.300 It's been a while since I've read the treaty.
00:06:37.620 So I think that literally Melanie Jolie has no idea what she's talking about.
00:06:43.520 But the fact that she would say, oh, we're going to just shut down the number one export our country has to the United States, and to heck with the Alberta oil industry, shows where she's coming from.
00:06:54.060 She didn't say we're going to stop sending automobiles from Windsor to the United States.
00:06:58.800 She didn't say we're going to stop any other export.
00:07:01.440 It's just Alberta would be the sacrifice zone. 1.00
00:07:04.220 And here's what Alberta's premier, Danielle Smith, has to say about that.
00:07:08.840 First of all, it's oil and gas that's owned by the provinces, principally Alberta, and we won't stand for that.
00:07:16.900 And you should never, ever threaten something you cannot do.
00:07:21.900 And I would encourage the minister to look at a map of where Line 5 goes.
00:07:28.900 Line 5 comes down through Michigan to get to Sarnia.
00:07:34.220 And then that feeds the bulk of the supply needed for Ontario and connects with Line 9, which feeds the bulk of the product needed for Quebec.
00:07:45.840 And so if you cut off that line, you are cutting off Ontario and Quebec.
00:07:51.340 So I would encourage the ministers to either understand how our integrated pipeline system works and start looking at ways that we would be able to practically respond, because there's no point in making empty threats that cannot be executed on.
00:08:12.200 So there are other things, I'm sure, that we'll all talk about collectively, but let's just remember how integrated our markets are with the Enbridge system, the TC Energy system, that we have a product going back and forth across the border every single day.
00:08:32.440 And we cannot do anything that harms Canadians in such a substantial way.
00:08:38.700 So I just don't take that as a credible threat.
00:08:41.260 I'm sure that the U.S. administration won't either.
00:08:43.880 So we should talk about things that we actually can do as opposed to empty threats.
00:08:48.520 If they were to proceed down that path for some reason, what would be Alberta's response?
00:08:57.180 Well, they will have a national unity crisis on their hands at the same time as having a crisis with our U.S. trade partners.
00:09:06.040 We just won't stand for that.
00:09:07.940 And I don't think Ontarians in Quebec should stand for that as well.
00:09:10.580 They shouldn't be standing by and listening while a federal minister talks about cutting off their energy supply.
00:09:17.880 That's just not on.
00:09:19.180 That makes no sense.
00:09:20.320 A national unity crisis.
00:09:22.200 Of course, she's accurate.
00:09:23.800 There's something else in that clip there, though.
00:09:25.660 She says the liberals don't even know enough about energy to know that if you stop the export of oil to America,
00:09:31.820 one of the important pipelines that brings oil to Ontario and Quebec cuts through the United States.
00:09:37.840 These are idiots.
00:09:39.660 You know what?
00:09:40.160 I saw a piece of good news today, which is that the liberal government, the liberal caucus, pardon me,
00:09:47.080 is going to have one last party, one last retreat on January 20th and 21st.
00:09:53.640 They're going to go and party it up at some luxury lodge and have a farewell dinner.
00:10:00.580 I'm glad.
00:10:01.980 I mean, of course, it's extremely expensive and they're just wringing out everything they can.
00:10:05.940 But that tells me that none of those MPs are going to be down in Washington during that key time of the inaugural because they would only screw it up.
00:10:13.480 You know that's true.
00:10:14.280 By contrast, Danielle Smith herself will be in Washington, D.C.
00:10:19.300 She has been several times schmoozing, trying to let people. 1.00
00:10:23.340 She even met with Donald Trump the other day.
00:10:24.760 I don't know if you saw her Twitter picture.
00:10:26.360 It looked like a very brief meeting, but at least she's there flying the flag and saying,
00:10:30.420 hey, Donald Trump, the one import you actually want from Canada more than any others is oil.
00:10:35.680 And by the way, we like you enough to understand that you just want a stronger border.
00:10:40.420 I think Danielle Smith is doing more diplomacy than the entire federal government combined. 1.00
00:10:45.920 I think that's deliberate.
00:10:47.120 I think Justin Trudeau wants to fight with Trump.
00:10:49.640 He hates Trump.
00:10:50.600 And I think he realizes that the Liberal Party has a chance in the upcoming election if it can frame its enemy as Donald Trump as opposed to Pierre Pauli.
00:10:59.460 So you've heard some of my thoughts on this before, but let me introduce to you a friend of ours who covers Danielle Smith and the province of Alberta quite closely and is intimately familiar with oil and gas.
00:11:09.740 I'm talking, of course, about our friend Lauren Gunter, senior commentator at the Edmonton Sun, who joins us now.
00:11:15.360 Lauren, great to see you again.
00:11:16.980 Good to see you.
00:11:17.580 What do you take of the fact that Melanie Jolie would just so cavalierly say, oh, yeah, we'll just turn off the oil taps? 0.98
00:11:25.380 I don't even think that's constitutionally legal.
00:11:28.800 I mean, I think constitutionally they have the right to stop something from being exported.
00:11:36.120 They're in charge of that.
00:11:37.720 But you're right in that under the Canada-Mexico-United States trade agreement that was worked out back in 2017, I don't think they have the power to do that.
00:11:51.560 I also don't think that Donald Trump has the power to impose a 25% tariff under that same agreement.
00:11:58.640 I think both sides are acting badly.
00:12:01.540 But yeah, it's lunacy to say, we'll just cut off energy sales to the United States.
00:12:10.060 First of all, 96% or 97% of our oil exports go to the United States.
00:12:17.060 Now, since the Trans Mountain Pipeline started up in May of 2024, we've increased the amount that's being sent to Asia.
00:12:24.140 We'll continue to increase that amount.
00:12:27.260 But it doesn't come anywhere close yet to the amount that gets sent to the United States.
00:12:33.280 We would be cutting off our own noses to spite Melanie Jolie's face because about one-third of all Canadian exports are Alberta oil and gas. 0.97
00:12:47.340 So it would affect the entire economy.
00:12:50.820 It would affect the entire American economy, too, because we are now responsible for about 24% or 25% of all the oil that they process in the United States.
00:13:01.120 That's how big we've become.
00:13:02.360 Since 1993, when we were a small percentage of America's import oil, we have, as they have decreased their exports, we've also increased ours so that we are now two-thirds of America's imported oil.
00:13:17.520 We far exceed Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Nigeria, the other exporting countries.
00:13:24.200 And that was deliberate.
00:13:25.320 You'll remember under the Bush administration that Dick Cheney, who was the vice president, who had been an oil executive, saw Canada as an integral part of America's domestic energy security.
00:13:38.620 And so he wanted us treated as though we were a 51st state, like we were part of the United States.
00:13:45.860 So we could be counted on, we could be relied upon to provide them with energy, quickly, cleanly, et cetera, et cetera.
00:13:52.800 I mean, you've written a book about all of that.
00:13:55.720 So it doesn't behoove either side to be playing this stupid game.
00:14:01.400 But the federal liberals are double stupid.
00:14:06.360 Like Trump is crazy like a fox.
00:14:09.340 Look at what he's made the federal government here do.
00:14:13.720 I mean, they're spinning around like tops because of his threat of a 25% tariff.
00:14:18.980 They should be looking for ways to increase our border security so that there are fewer illegal immigrants going from here to the United States and fewer illegal drugs.
00:14:31.380 They're not doing that, but they are spinning, like, as I said, like tops in fear of this 25% tariff.
00:14:42.400 But they have no understanding of economics.
00:14:45.560 They don't really understand what that would do.
00:14:47.420 They don't really know how they could stop that.
00:14:50.680 They just know that they can.
00:14:52.880 The first thought every liberal has is how can this win me votes?
00:14:59.300 That's the first thought they have.
00:15:01.760 And so do they know how much the Americans are dependent on our oil?
00:15:06.680 Do they know how much we are dependent on exports to them?
00:15:09.840 No, but it looks really good to shake your fist at Donald Trump because that might get you a vote.
00:15:17.220 You know, it would cost, I would say, in the billions to strengthen our border.
00:15:24.060 I think the federal government has proposed $1.3 billion.
00:15:26.920 It probably needs to be several times that.
00:15:29.400 We've seen provinces like Alberta take steps without waiting for the feds, which is sort of unusual.
00:15:35.260 But again, that's Danielle Smith trying to get ahead of this. 1.00
00:15:38.040 Let's just say it's 10 times that.
00:15:40.760 I'm just making up a number.
00:15:41.500 Let's say it's $13 billion to harden our border with the U.S.
00:15:45.740 That's all Trump.
00:15:46.660 Trump said, I want fewer illegal drugs and fewer illegal migrants, including terrorists.
00:15:52.880 All right.
00:15:53.140 Well, Canada wants that, too.
00:15:54.280 So let's say you could spend $10 billion to get that done.
00:15:57.080 As opposed to all these proposed trade wars that not only Melanie Jolie, but frankly, Doug Ford of Ontario seems really excited about.
00:16:05.780 They seem really butch.
00:16:06.840 We're going to do this.
00:16:07.660 We're going to ban this and tariff that.
00:16:09.140 The cost of turning off the taps of oil for one week would exceed $10 billion.
00:16:18.200 And they're so excited about talking about that butch trade war instead of actually fixing the problem.
00:16:24.880 They literally would rather keep illegal drugs and migrants going than avoid a trade war.
00:16:29.940 That's the crazy thing to me.
00:16:32.020 I mean, yeah, there's a lot of points about is it legal?
00:16:34.760 Could they do it?
00:16:35.480 By the way, Lauren, a lot of the oil companies operating in Alberta are American companies.
00:16:40.740 We call it imperial oil in the States.
00:16:43.220 If I'm not mistaken, that's known as Exxon.
00:16:45.700 I think that's the Canadian subsidiary.
00:16:48.020 And I think half of the ownership of Canada's different oil sands companies are American pension funds.
00:16:57.400 I mean, yeah, there's Canadian companies.
00:17:00.520 Of course there are, and they're Canadian workers.
00:17:02.140 But there's a lot of American ownership of those companies in the stock market.
00:17:06.960 They're all listed on the New York Stock Exchange, for heaven's sakes.
00:17:09.860 So it makes no sense to go down the road of this war.
00:17:13.420 And I think that's what Danielle Smith is politely saying.
00:17:15.980 And by the way, that's what Stephen Harper said.
00:17:17.540 Here, let me play a quick clip of Harper saying, look, you're actually getting our oil at a discount because we really can't sell it to other people. 0.99
00:17:26.620 Because all those pipelines have been blocked, Energy East has been blocked, the Northern Gateway.
00:17:30.900 Here's a quick clip of Harper saying, yeah, we actually subsidized America with below world market price oil.
00:17:37.160 Take a look.
00:17:37.600 I understand that, you know, Donald Trump may want some changes in trade arrangements.
00:17:43.160 But I must admit to being shocked by some of the things he said.
00:17:48.500 They're just not so.
00:17:49.780 So, you know, first of all, we don't actually sell dairy into the United States or sell almost none.
00:17:56.700 So that's not true.
00:18:00.240 Canada, it is true that Canada presently has a modest trade surplus with the United States.
00:18:05.840 The reason, Gabe, we do is because you buy so much of our oil and gas.
00:18:11.440 In fact, you buy it at a discount to world markets.
00:18:14.500 It's actually Canada that subsidizes the United States in this regard.
00:18:19.720 And, you know, so maybe my response is maybe Canadians, if Mr. Trump feels this way, should be looking at selling their oil and gas to other people.
00:18:30.160 We certainly have always wanted to do some of that.
00:18:33.580 Maybe now's the time to do it.
00:18:34.880 So, yeah, and again, Harper's tone there is not belligerent, but it's very grown up.
00:18:40.320 And it's a guy who has who's read the briefing notes.
00:18:43.140 I don't think Melanie Jolie has read a briefing note since she became an MP.
00:18:47.480 It's just it's I'm ready to have tough conversations.
00:18:51.360 All options are on the table.
00:18:52.880 She really is the female equivalent of Jagmeet Singh.
00:18:56.940 Yeah.
00:18:57.420 Yeah, I think so.
00:18:59.460 She's actually the female equivalent of Justin Trudeau.
00:19:02.160 Justin Trudeau is not a very bright guy.
00:19:03.800 I mean, you used to call him the shiny pony.
00:19:06.860 I used to call him the lightweight because I think he is.
00:19:10.300 I think he's an intellectual lightweight.
00:19:11.780 I don't think he's very smart.
00:19:13.340 He sounds clever because he's not too bad with words, although the way he delivers the speech now tends to rankle most people.
00:19:21.700 It gets under their skin.
00:19:23.180 It's kind of a smarmy, cloying way of speaking.
00:19:26.920 But nonetheless, he's not terribly bright.
00:19:31.320 He doesn't understand this stuff and he doesn't pretend to understand it, which is unfortunate.
00:19:37.060 But when you're prime minister, you don't have to understand every file.
00:19:39.880 You simply have to bring into your cabinet people who do.
00:19:43.020 But none of his cabinet ministers really understand any of this either.
00:19:47.080 Melanie Jolie is called by Warren Kinsella, who was a colleague of both of ours back at Sun News.
00:19:54.200 He calls her the worst cabinet minister in Canadian history.
00:19:58.520 And she is just and that's that's a long list of a lot of people.
00:20:03.100 Yeah.
00:20:03.740 You know, so that's a pretty high bar, low bar, however you want to look at it for her to jump over. 1.00
00:20:10.880 She is terrible.
00:20:12.760 She's not very clever.
00:20:14.300 And I think in that respect, that's why Trudeau picked her.
00:20:17.440 She's she's an attractive Francophone woman from Montreal. 1.00
00:20:21.760 And she doesn't challenge him like he gets rid of women who challenge him. 0.82
00:20:28.100 He gets rid of the Christopher Freelance.
00:20:30.960 He gets rid of the the the Jody Wilson Raybould, you know, all of those Jane Philpott. 0.99
00:20:38.660 If you're a smart woman and you challenge him, he dumps you.
00:20:43.800 So that's why Melanie Jolie has been in cabinet as long as she has.
00:20:47.180 She's not very smart and she doesn't challenge him.
00:20:49.260 And unfortunately, she's now in charge of the file.
00:20:53.160 I mean, she said, I'm not running for the liberal leadership because I need to concentrate on the Canada U.S. trade dispute.
00:20:59.620 No, she's not running for the liberal leadership because she couldn't get the money and she couldn't get the support. 0.96
00:21:04.100 There was almost no one in caucus who wanted to throw their name behind her in an endorsement. 0.92
00:21:08.860 That's what she had very little chance of winning.
00:21:11.840 That's why she didn't run. 0.94
00:21:12.900 But the bad news is she's now going to focus on the Canada U.S. file and she's not very good at it.
00:21:20.160 Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:20.900 And and I think that I mean, Donald Trump is bodacious and bellicose and braggadocious and all sorts.
00:21:28.060 I mean, whatever adjective you got, he is.
00:21:30.420 I mean, let me pull the camera back for a second.
00:21:32.840 Donald Trump is talking about retaking the Panama Canal.
00:21:36.360 And he's saying 38,000 Americans died building it, mainly of malaria.
00:21:41.380 That's an astonishingly high number.
00:21:43.720 That's almost like World War One casualties number.
00:21:46.760 Not quite, but it's a huge number.
00:21:49.360 And America built it.
00:21:51.140 Most of the shipping is American.
00:21:52.840 And Donald Trump is saying they're gouging us.
00:21:56.280 Jimmy Carter sold it for a dollar.
00:21:57.660 He should have shouldn't have.
00:21:59.240 China is mucking around. 0.99
00:22:00.540 We're going to retake it on that.
00:22:01.840 That's actually they might.
00:22:04.480 They might retake it.
00:22:05.760 Then there's Greenland and it's a huge geography with a tiny population.
00:22:10.920 In a way, it's like our own Nunavut.
00:22:14.320 And there's U.S. military presence there.
00:22:16.880 And and the local Inuit in Greenland sort of want independence from Denmark.
00:22:21.460 So, again, it's it's a little bit of a stretch, but it's not insane, given that the U.S. has bases there.
00:22:28.440 And Greenland people themselves want a little bit more sovereignty than they have now.
00:22:34.060 So those those two things are not crazy.
00:22:37.920 I mean, Alaska was once bought by the Americans, and that wasn't too long ago.
00:22:43.660 Maybe Elon Musk will buy Greenland for Trump for his next birthday.
00:22:48.500 That's right.
00:22:49.700 That's right.
00:22:50.060 But then then Trump really starts working these Internet memes about Canada being the 51st state.
00:22:56.940 And I think it's to yank our chain.
00:22:59.640 And you know what?
00:23:00.180 Of course it is.
00:23:00.500 Part of the effect.
00:23:01.160 And if you read and I read, by the way, I bought the book Art of the Deal again, and I've started rereading it.
00:23:07.240 And you just got to understand, this is how Trump works.
00:23:10.500 He's always been this way.
00:23:12.280 He's always been audacious.
00:23:13.920 He's always had chutzpah.
00:23:15.800 And he does it because that's his personality style.
00:23:19.160 But he does it to knock the other guy off balance.
00:23:21.880 Exactly.
00:23:22.380 Reset the realm of what's possible.
00:23:24.340 If he says, I want to own Canada and you negotiate him down to, OK, fine, we'll just give you what you really wanted.
00:23:32.360 That's, you got to understand, that's how Trump works.
00:23:34.620 Exactly.
00:23:35.280 That's exactly what he's on about.
00:23:37.500 He was, he had dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Trudeau before Christmas.
00:23:42.660 He joked about Canada becoming the 51st state and Trudeau becoming its governor.
00:23:48.160 He realized that it got under Trudeau's skin.
00:23:51.820 So he just kept poking at it.
00:23:53.000 He's just poking and poking.
00:23:54.700 And, you know, there's an element of bullying in there, too.
00:23:58.380 But who cares?
00:24:00.020 Don't let it get to you.
00:24:01.160 But the Laurentian elite in this country has gone nuts.
00:24:04.840 I think it's really funny.
00:24:06.120 Over the last week, Trudeau has given three media interviews and only three.
00:24:12.700 All three were to U.S. outlets that he could count on to be friendly to him.
00:24:18.860 Mark Carney, the person we all expect will jump in, the former Bank of Canada governor who we all expect will jump into the liberal leadership race, has given one sit-down interview.
00:24:28.900 And that was with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.
00:24:31.740 I mean, they may all squawk about Canada, about the United States claiming us as the 51st state.
00:24:38.400 But where do they run when they want to get a favorable interview without too much hassle?
00:24:44.240 And it's right down to the United States.
00:24:46.120 They're acting as though it's we're already the 51st state.
00:24:49.860 I mean, Chrystia Freeland herself used to be a regular on Bill Maher's show. 0.77
00:24:55.320 The head of the CBC would commute in from Brooklyn.
00:24:59.020 It was Trudeau who derided our country as a post-national country with no core values.
00:25:03.800 He's the one who stripped John A. McDonald off the $10 bill.
00:25:06.960 He's the one who said we're genociders.
00:25:10.000 He's the one who tried to denude us of our history.
00:25:12.500 And suddenly he's the great patriot, is he?
00:25:15.440 Well, I mean, Donald Trump knows the weakness, as you say.
00:25:18.440 He is like a bully in that he can find that one thing that you're sensitive about.
00:25:22.140 That's why he's so good with giving people nicknames.
00:25:24.800 Because he knows the thing.
00:25:26.760 He can find their essence and nickname them.
00:25:30.240 And it sticks.
00:25:31.500 It sticks.
00:25:31.960 But here's the thing about Alberta. 0.87
00:25:35.820 Of all Canadians who would consider joining the U.S., Alberta typically is the highest number.
00:25:42.780 And in fact, there's a lot of Americans in Alberta because of historical reasons and the oil patch, etc.
00:25:49.460 And if Melanie Jolie were ever to precipitate that unity crisis, and I don't think that she would be allowed to,
00:25:56.560 wouldn't that be something if she added some push to Donald Trump's poll? 0.99
00:26:03.560 Because it is legal, in my understanding, because of course we went through this with Quebec.
00:26:09.980 It went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.
00:26:11.780 There was a reference on Quebec separatism.
00:26:13.760 And the Supreme Court of Canada found that unlike in the United States, where secession was illegal,
00:26:20.000 and in fact, it started a civil war, in Canada, you can secede.
00:26:26.300 And in fact, the Supreme Court outlined...
00:26:28.000 50% plus one with a clear question.
00:26:30.720 Yeah.
00:26:30.960 So if Melanie Jolie said, ha-ha, we will use Alberta as a sacrifice province in our spiteful battle against Trump,
00:26:41.100 between his saying, hey guys, come on down, and Melanie Jolie saying, we hate you,
00:26:46.600 I'm not saying it'll happen, but it's a non-zero chance that someone in Alberta might say, you know what?
00:26:52.960 We will join, and we'll take all 170 billion barrels of oil with us.
00:26:57.580 And by the way, it's probably the most pro-American province.
00:27:00.900 And good luck to the rest of the years without your equalization payments.
00:27:04.940 And how long before Saskatchewan joined?
00:27:07.520 And then how long before BC said, we're separate?
00:27:10.280 I'd be willing to say to the Americans, hey, if you want us, we got this nice little neighbor over to the east.
00:27:17.500 They don't need much.
00:27:19.520 They're pretty self-sufficient.
00:27:21.120 They're polite people.
00:27:22.360 They do a lot of farming.
00:27:23.560 Would you take them too?
00:27:24.580 And I think they would probably take Saskatchewan.
00:27:26.620 We have $530 billion a year in exports in this country to the whole world.
00:27:35.420 $169 billion of that last year was Alberta oil to the United States.
00:27:41.260 So in a country that is dependent on exports for its economic survival, we are the key in Alberta.
00:27:48.460 And so you make us angry at your peril if you're sitting there in Ottawa.
00:27:55.560 And frankly, there's a lot of loyalty in Alberta to Canada.
00:28:01.960 We like the idea of Canada.
00:28:04.160 But at some point, we're going to say, you know, the Americans aren't that bad either.
00:28:10.000 They're at least not trying to take our oil and keep us from selling it.
00:28:17.020 And so I can see exactly what you're talking about, is that at some point, this not much of a separatist movement now, there's a possibility there could be one.
00:28:28.960 You know, Canadians love following American politics.
00:28:34.560 The whole world does.
00:28:35.420 The whole world was riveted by the presidential election.
00:28:38.820 So when my American friends chide me and joke about annexing Canada, I said, oh, really, you want another California in the electoral college?
00:28:47.040 You want another 30 or 40 electoral seats going Democrat every time?
00:28:50.740 And they say, oh, right.
00:28:51.940 And I say, and welcome to trilingualism.
00:28:54.920 You think you have a hassle with Spanish?
00:28:56.700 Welcome to Francais.
00:28:57.960 And I just started throwing these little things there.
00:29:00.060 And then they cool off pretty quick.
00:29:01.820 And it's all in good humor.
00:29:04.100 But let me say this.
00:29:05.160 Alberta, and I don't, I mean, Alberta joining the union is not that insane.
00:29:12.920 And it wouldn't bring economic problems.
00:29:15.960 It wouldn't bring cultural or language problems.
00:29:17.920 And it would have, I don't know, I'd have to do the math, 10 or 15 electoral college seats.
00:29:24.600 And I think, I think, wouldn't, I don't think it's going to happen.
00:29:29.580 And we're all talking about a fantasy.
00:29:30.980 But the very fact we're talking about it is because the liberals don't know how to be grownups.
00:29:35.580 And they don't know how to handle Donald Trump other than to indulge their hate for him.
00:29:40.800 They have Trump derangement syndrome.
00:29:42.200 And they can't hide it.
00:29:43.640 Yes.
00:29:43.820 And I'm told that Mark Carney will be in Alberta on Thursday to announce his leadership because he wants to emphasize the fact that, you know, he was raised in Edmonton.
00:29:57.400 He's an Alberta boy.
00:29:58.820 He understands the West.
00:30:00.660 He's going to reduce the alienation at the Westfield.
00:30:04.240 Sure he is.
00:30:04.940 I don't buy that for a second because, you know, who announced his leadership bid in 2013 in Calgary?
00:30:14.900 Justin Trudeau.
00:30:15.700 Oh, well, there you go.
00:30:16.400 Justin Trudeau made his official announcement in Calgary in 2013.
00:30:20.360 And how did that turn out?
00:30:21.800 Yeah.
00:30:22.700 Yeah.
00:30:23.440 Mark Carney, I mean, he, in fact, I think he was born in Northwest Territories.
00:30:27.540 He was.
00:30:28.220 He was born in Hay River.
00:30:29.400 And then he went to school in Edmonton.
00:30:31.080 Then he went to Harvard.
00:30:32.420 Then he went to Goldman Sachs.
00:30:34.480 Then the finance department.
00:30:35.580 Then Bank of Canada.
00:30:36.660 Then Bank of England.
00:30:37.420 And somewhere in there, Oxford.
00:30:39.080 Yeah.
00:30:39.700 And United Nations.
00:30:40.660 He has a doctorate.
00:30:41.780 He has a doctorate from Oxford.
00:30:43.060 I mean, the man's a smart man.
00:30:44.140 And when he was Stephen Harper's governor of the Bank of Canada during the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Canada weathered it very much better than any other G7 country.
00:30:56.120 And that was because he put strict limits on money printing, unlike Tiff Macklem, who was Trudeau's governor during the pandemic, who thought, well, just turn the presses on.
00:31:09.880 It's going to be fine.
00:31:10.800 We can print the unlimited number of money.
00:31:12.680 It won't have any impact at all.
00:31:15.000 And, of course, it just drove inflation through the roof.
00:31:17.760 So Carney is probably a better governor of the Bank of Canada than Tiff Macklem.
00:31:25.060 But, again, that's not a very high bar over which to jump.
00:31:28.840 And he was not a particularly good governor of the Bank of England.
00:31:33.400 And I took great satisfaction the other day reading that the largest American banks are pulling out of the coalition that Carney formed of banks to support net zero investment.
00:31:52.780 And they've all decided it's not in the interest of their shareholders to be involved in these.
00:31:58.320 And so they're all pulling out.
00:31:59.620 And so this whole woke environmentalist investment idea is falling apart at the very time that he's going to start pushing that stuff in the liberal leadership campaign.
00:32:09.940 Yeah, it shows that it was never really about the environment.
00:32:13.080 It was just about politics and being in good with the ruling elite.
00:32:17.340 And it's like Mark Zuckerberg suddenly seeing the light on freedom of speech.
00:32:20.960 I'm glad he did it.
00:32:21.800 But he was just tacking to the right, as America did, too.
00:32:25.820 And he didn't want Donald Trump to fight him.
00:32:27.640 Hey, by the way, it's a good rule of thumb that if you've got a central banker named Tiff, keep your hand on your wallet.
00:32:34.300 You know what it's short for?
00:32:38.040 No.
00:32:38.460 Tiffany.
00:32:39.060 Oh, right.
00:32:39.520 Okay.
00:32:39.780 If I was named Tiffany, I would go by Tiff also.
00:32:42.780 Fair enough.
00:32:43.380 I don't think I'd want to be the central banker if I was named after an elaborate jewelry store.
00:32:49.420 You know, you can't blame him for the name his mama gave him, I guess.
00:32:51.920 You know, there is, I just keep thinking of the process here, that the liberal party on March 9th, through their own process, which allows kids as young as 14 to vote, which allows permanent residents who are not citizens to vote, which does not require any money.
00:33:10.620 So you don't even have the credit card, which is a kind of ID, right?
00:33:14.100 A credit card, if a credit card has to match your name, that is actually a form of ID.
00:33:19.400 No, you don't even need that.
00:33:20.540 So this process that can be absolutely gamed, and don't tell me they're not having a coding contest in Beijing right now to see who can get an AI system to game it.
00:33:31.860 I mean, seriously.
00:33:32.960 No, I'm laughing, but I agree with you.
00:33:35.560 I think you're right.
00:33:36.800 If they worked on 11 ridings to influence, why wouldn't they try and influence the whole shot?
00:33:44.640 And through that crooked process, a new prime minister will be installed.
00:33:49.440 Now, perhaps it'll be Chrystia Freeland or Karina Gould.
00:33:51.860 I doubt it.
00:33:52.700 I think Mark Carney is the chosen one.
00:33:55.720 And he will win not by election, but by succession.
00:33:59.100 And he, I'm sure, will cut a deal.
00:34:01.080 He's a dealmaker.
00:34:01.960 He'll cut a deal with Jagmeet Singh.
00:34:03.540 And he'll rule until October.
00:34:05.500 And you will have a hand-curated oligarch who was on the board of the World Economic Forum being Canada's prime minister until October.
00:34:19.820 That is my fear.
00:34:20.800 And the governor general went along with this, by the way.
00:34:24.260 Yep.
00:34:24.600 Well, honestly, I think she had to.
00:34:27.500 I don't like the fact that they've prorogued parliament because it's really just to save the liberal party's butt.
00:34:34.900 But I wouldn't want the governor general getting involved in that either.
00:34:39.960 I mean, it would have to be a real constitutional crisis before I thought the governor general, who's unelected and unaccountable, should get involved in all that.
00:34:48.400 But let's talk for just a second about how incestuous this whole process is.
00:34:54.640 Mark Carney is the godfather of Chrystia Freeland's son.
00:34:59.460 And he was her mentor when she was at, I think it was the Wall Street Journal, or the Financial Times, one of the places that she worked as a reporter, as a journalist, before she went into politics.
00:35:13.020 She considered Carney her mentor on economic policy.
00:35:18.820 And on top of that, they've both been heavily involved in the World Economic Forum.
00:35:23.400 And so, you know, that doesn't, like, I don't see that as a conspiracy to rule the world, but it is an indication of the mindset.
00:35:32.260 They both have the same elitist Central Canadian mindset.
00:35:37.080 And I just don't think that works anymore.
00:35:39.520 Yeah.
00:35:39.900 Well, I don't know if it's a conspiracy, but Klaus Schwab, the owner of the World Economic Forum, and I say owner because he's not elected, it's not a public entity, he owns it.
00:35:49.880 And I'm told he makes $300 million a year off their Davos gathering.
00:35:54.200 I absolutely believe it, by the way.
00:35:57.420 I mean, there's no doubt that he's a billionaire, and he rubs shoulders with everyone from Larry Fink of BlackRock on down.
00:36:03.820 Here's Klaus Schwab boasting about penitrating the cabinets, that he claims that half the cabinet in Canada is World Economic Forum.
00:36:12.420 And again, he's a boastful man, but actually, if you Google it, half of the cabinet really works.
00:36:20.940 Yeah, I'm sure they are.
00:36:21.900 I mean, I never tell with that because that's the kind of organization they want to belong to.
00:36:26.620 It rubs their egos, it strokes their egos, while at the same time giving them access to people they see as powerful leaders.
00:36:37.380 And they love that stuff.
00:36:39.780 And it also feeds their noblesse oblige idea that, well, you know, here we are, the elites, and we should really be doing more for the underprivileged in the world.
00:36:53.540 So let's all get together and talk about how wonderful our social programs are.
00:36:57.920 Yeah, please forgive it.
00:37:00.460 Here's that clip of Klaus Schwab boasting that way.
00:37:02.740 What we are very proud of now is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau, President of Argentina and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets.
00:37:16.800 So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I know that half of this cabinet,
00:37:28.520 or even more half of this cabinet, are for our actually young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
00:37:37.020 Well, Lauren, as you know, every year Rebel News sends some people to the World Economic Forum in Davos.
00:37:42.480 They never let us in, of course.
00:37:43.980 So we hang out.
00:37:45.220 It's like the drawbridge comes down over the moat.
00:37:49.100 Like, it's a highly protected area.
00:37:51.640 Really, I mean, not just police, but soldiers are there, heavily armed.
00:37:56.040 I should say the Swiss police have the lightest touch of any police I've ever encountered anywhere in the world.
00:38:01.320 They're very respectful of free speech.
00:38:03.360 They never stop you from scrumming a politician as long as you don't touch them or threaten them.
00:38:09.100 Twice our car was pulled over, and we just said we're journalists, we have freedom of speech.
00:38:13.420 And the police literally said, you're right, on your way.
00:38:17.340 Like, it was actually the most beautiful interaction I've ever had with police.
00:38:22.240 In fact, I'd say the cops are a little bit shy.
00:38:24.200 And they're heavily armed, so there's no shenanigans.
00:38:28.340 But, I mean, David Menzies has been arrested five times last year by police for covering stories involving Hamas protesters.
00:38:38.460 That would never happen in Switzerland.
00:38:40.000 We get right up to these VVIPs.
00:38:42.700 It's quite something.
00:38:43.400 So we're going to be there.
00:38:44.920 Normally, we look for Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney,
00:38:48.160 but they're going to be busy implementing the strategy in Canada while we're over there.
00:38:54.420 But I have to say, they really do, like, the phrase crypto government, what does it mean?
00:39:00.400 Well, crypto literally means hidden.
00:39:02.800 Here's why I call it a crypto government out there.
00:39:05.140 It does not pass laws.
00:39:06.340 That's true.
00:39:06.840 But it has meetings to discuss policy.
00:39:10.540 There's all sorts of lobbying.
00:39:12.480 There's fundraising.
00:39:14.600 But none of it is seen.
00:39:16.820 There's no Hansard.
00:39:18.020 There's no official opposition.
00:39:19.700 There's no independent media.
00:39:20.980 Media are there, but they pay hundreds of thousands to get in, so they're on the inside.
00:39:25.180 There's no lobbyist registry.
00:39:26.820 There's no list of who's meeting who.
00:39:28.140 So when Chrystia Freeland goes to Davos every year as a board member, we don't know who she meets.
00:39:34.420 We don't know what she says and what she talks to.
00:39:36.560 What happens in Davos stays in Davos in terms of reporting.
00:39:40.780 But then they go out and they all use phrases like build back better or great reset.
00:39:45.460 So it's not – I don't know if it's a – I won't go full all the way it's a conspiracy,
00:39:51.900 but they are conspiring to move – to get rich.
00:39:55.100 To me, it's kind of like the UN.
00:39:58.140 The UN has no police force of its own.
00:40:01.360 It passes resolutions, but the resolutions all come from member states.
00:40:07.260 And the member states use the United Nations to pass policies that they know they couldn't
00:40:13.800 get past their voters at home.
00:40:15.780 They pass them at the UN, and then they come back and they say,
00:40:19.260 wow, you know, we don't like this any more than you do, but the UN is making us do it.
00:40:24.020 The UN is them.
00:40:25.100 Yeah.
00:40:25.620 Yeah.
00:40:25.720 And it's a sneaky, clever, as you say, crypto way of implementing policy and making it look
00:40:34.840 like it comes from above.
00:40:36.420 Yeah.
00:40:36.560 Well, it's very interesting.
00:40:38.920 And I just think of the fact that right now it looks – I mean, we'll see how Chrystia
00:40:45.680 Freeland does, but it looks like the Trudeau insiders are all backing Carney.
00:40:49.360 Katie Telford, Gerald Butz.
00:40:50.780 Yes, yes, it does.
00:40:51.560 Trudeau himself.
00:40:52.780 So, I mean, that's a lot of momentum.
00:40:53.900 And, of course, who the Chinese choose to back is the big – 0.93
00:40:57.360 and Pitfield, who is the keeper of all of the liberal data, was on Carney's side until
00:41:04.160 he finally had to say, no, no, I'm not really.
00:41:06.480 I'm going to stay neutral.
00:41:07.700 Although nobody I know inside the Liberal Party thinks he's going to stay neutral.
00:41:11.760 So, yeah, I think they're all backing Carney.
00:41:14.540 I think Carney will win this, and they'll end up with seven seats in downtown Toronto
00:41:21.400 and three in Montreal.
00:41:22.940 But in the interim, he will have been installed.
00:41:27.100 Yeah.
00:41:27.340 He will have been selected, not elected, curated.
00:41:30.580 I call it succession.
00:41:32.220 It will be a manipulated succession, and I think it will be one of the most undemocratic
00:41:38.680 moments in Canadian history.
00:41:43.060 And I'm scared of what he's going to do to, quote, make his mark in the half year he
00:41:47.900 will have before the October election.
00:41:50.580 And, you know, it's great to catch up with you.
00:41:52.300 And I say again that Daniel Smith is doing more constructive diplomacy with Trump than
00:41:58.680 the entire federal government.
00:42:00.240 And I'm actually glad they're going to party at their last caucus retreat because they
00:42:04.680 would only mess things up in Washington were they to go.
00:42:07.480 They would get into – I mean, it sounds like Trudeau just let Trump walk all over him.
00:42:11.820 Trump detected a soft spot and went after it.
00:42:14.180 And Stephen Harper should be Pierre Polyev's pick for ambassador to the U.S. if Harper
00:42:19.560 would deign to do it.
00:42:21.580 Stephen Harper would be a very effective advocate, knowledgeable.
00:42:25.840 Americans like him because they remember he was a solid conservative.
00:42:29.840 I think Stephen Harper would fix things.
00:42:31.740 And he sent troops and equipment to places that were important to the Americans to defend.
00:42:38.080 Yeah.
00:42:38.440 And so they put a lot of stock in that.
00:42:41.340 The very fact that we went into combat in Afghanistan under Harper got us a lot of credibility
00:42:48.120 on economic issues.
00:42:49.660 Yeah.
00:42:50.420 Under Harper.
00:42:50.900 59 Canadians died in violence, terrorists in Afghanistan.
00:42:58.380 And that's a big load for a country of Canada's size.
00:43:02.520 And that was an American priority.
00:43:04.520 That was not actually – I wouldn't say that was a Canadian priority.
00:43:07.540 We said we see our friends being attacked.
00:43:10.820 We're prepared to go and help.
00:43:12.560 And they put great stock in that.
00:43:15.680 Yeah.
00:43:15.860 And the fact that Trudeau is just like every other freshman at a U.S. college who's
00:43:22.600 poo-pooing U.S. foreign policy, they see that too.
00:43:27.980 I think Harper would straighten things out in a minute. 1.00
00:43:30.500 And by the way, I think Donald Trump would respect Stephen Harper.
00:43:33.320 Yep.
00:43:33.780 I do too.
00:43:35.420 Well, very interesting.
00:43:36.560 It's great to catch up with you, my friend.
00:43:38.000 Thanks very much.
00:43:38.440 Likewise.
00:43:38.740 If you haven't read it yet, the story is called
00:43:40.600 Danielle Smith's approach on Trump tariffs looks better than other efforts, written by
00:43:46.000 our friend Lorne Gunter in The Edmonton Sun.
00:43:48.480 Take care, my friend.
00:43:49.820 You too.
00:43:50.500 All right.
00:43:51.400 Stay with us.
00:43:52.560 More ahead.
00:44:02.800 Hi, everybody.
00:44:03.780 Boy, these are busy times, isn't it?
00:44:05.220 I mean, the United States is about to be transformed with the second Donald Trump presidency.
00:44:10.900 It's just really hours away.
00:44:13.020 You can see things moving in foreign affairs as countries start to realign themselves and
00:44:18.100 domestically, too.
00:44:19.080 The case of Mark Zuckerberg suddenly discovering his love for free speech now that Trump is about
00:44:24.400 to take office.
00:44:26.000 Some of them are meaningful believers in freedom.
00:44:30.220 Most of them are just pragmatic.
00:44:31.580 That's how the world works, I guess.
00:44:32.940 I'm glad Mark Zuckerberg suddenly believes in freedom or says he does.
00:44:37.800 Whether it's real or not, I suppose, is less important than is it happening.
00:44:42.360 We're going to cover that.
00:44:43.560 We were actually sending a team down to Washington, D.C. just to report things mainly on the street.
00:44:49.600 I will be down there as well.
00:44:51.120 I've been invited to an inaugural ball, if you can believe it.
00:44:55.400 And I thought I've never been invited before.
00:44:57.880 I want to see who's there.
00:44:59.940 And I just don't want to turn down that invitation.
00:45:02.080 And I've also set up an interview, I've scheduled one, with Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta.
00:45:08.840 I want to see when she's down there, what kind of meetings she's had, what kind of luck she's had.
00:45:13.540 So we're not just going for the fun, but we're going to, there's a rally the day before,
00:45:18.520 a Trump rally the day before the election.
00:45:21.240 We'll cover that.
00:45:22.580 We'll cover the inauguration itself.
00:45:24.380 And I'm going to interview Danielle Smith.
00:45:27.040 I think that's important journalism because Danielle Smith is really the only person down there working the Republicans to try and lay off the tariffs. 1.00
00:45:34.960 We have a lot of other things cooking, too.
00:45:38.220 I'm going to go directly from there to Davos, Switzerland.
00:45:40.600 As you know, every single year, we cover the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
00:45:45.640 Both of the leading candidates in the Liberal Party are World Economic Forum trustees.
00:45:50.860 Of course, Chrystia Freeland is a current director.
00:45:54.060 Mark Carney has been a director in the past.
00:45:56.300 They are top guns.
00:45:57.520 And the fact that we have to choose between two different World Economic Forum alumni is sort of crazy to me.
00:46:05.100 That's why we cover it, because there's a lot of things that are decided for Canada in Davos that we don't even know about here in Canada.
00:46:12.000 And no other Canadian media go to the World Economic Forum.
00:46:15.980 You would think they would.
00:46:16.880 You'd think the CBC would.
00:46:18.300 I mean, you'd think they would just want to hobnob with those VVIPs. 0.97
00:46:22.000 But no, because they don't want to even acknowledge that Davos is important, whereas I think it is very important.
00:46:27.520 In terms of policies for the whole world.
00:46:30.440 I'm also going to make a less than 24-hour journey to the United Kingdom.
00:46:36.320 And I'm not going to give away why I'm going.
00:46:38.620 But I will have some news when I'm on the ground there that I think you might find interesting.
00:46:43.280 And it relates to the recent kerfuffle led by Elon Musk to talk about a dark stain on the United Kingdom,
00:46:51.640 which is these rape gangs that have been running rampant in that country. 0.99
00:46:56.140 And have actually been covered up to a large extent by the regime media and the government and the police and social workers because it's too difficult to talk about.
00:47:06.300 So I'll have a report to you from there.
00:47:08.320 So I feel like I'm going to be a pinball ricocheting around.
00:47:11.580 But I think all those stories are important to us here in Canada.
00:47:14.400 Don't you think?
00:47:15.440 I think it's important to hear directly from Danielle Smith in Washington, D.C.
00:47:19.080 how she's doing, compelling Americans to say, no, don't put a tariff on your Canadian allies.
00:47:27.780 I think it's important to see how Trump transforms that country and what that means for Canada.
00:47:33.040 It's important to go to Davos to see the puppet masters, the oligarchs and what they have planned for us.
00:47:39.780 And I'll have a special news for you when I'm in London, England for less than 24 hours.
00:47:45.580 I'll give you a report from there.
00:47:46.580 So a lot coming up.
00:47:47.860 But always on our mind, number one, is our home, Canada, and how all these stories affect us.
00:47:52.860 So I hope you agree with our journalistic plans.
00:47:56.200 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home.
00:47:59.800 Good night and keep fighting for freedom.
00:48:01.820 Good night and keep fighting for freedom.
