Hello, my friends. Doug Ford has launched an election campaign, even though there was an
00:00:04.380
election in Ontario just a couple of years ago. He's doing so because he, like Justin Trudeau
00:00:10.420
or Chrystia Freeland or Mark Carney, he wants to run against Donald Trump in the election. He
00:00:15.580
doesn't want to run against his actual opponents. He wants to paint himself as the great Canada
00:00:20.700
defender. But will it work? I'll take you through that. And I'll also talk to Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:00:25.420
about the findings in the Foreign Interference Commission. But first, let me invite you to

00:00:40.940
announcements. I really want you to see how he's positioning himself as the champion of Canada.

00:01:03.280
time you sat down with your financial advisor, did you have a real conversation? Did they

00:01:11.240
the head office talking points? When it comes to your family's wealth, you need to work with
00:01:16.240

Tonight, Ontario's Doug Ford calls an election. Like the federal liberals, he prefers to run
00:02:14.340
against Donald Trump. It's January 29th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:02:33.480
Ontario's Doug Ford has called an election. The election will be on February 27th, just a month
00:02:38.900
away. This isn't even three years after the last election in 2022. This is, I mean, that election
00:02:45.880
was an opportunistic election itself. There was a disturbing trend of many governments going to early
00:02:51.720
elections in the middle of the pandemic. To take advantage of the fear and crisis mindset that was
00:02:57.360
gripping Canadians, people would stay with the safe bet they knew because it was a crisis out there.
00:03:02.280
In almost every instance, the incumbents did great. It was a victory of fear. All the politicians learned
00:03:09.180
a terrible lesson. In the case of Doug Ford, he learned that a crisis is too useful to waste, so he's
00:03:15.460
going early again. And the crisis this time isn't COVID, it's Donald Trump and his threats. Here's Doug
00:03:23.240
Ford explaining his case. We will be calling the election next Wednesday. I'll be seeing the
00:03:28.380
lieutenant governor on Tuesday. We need a mandate from the people to fight against Donald Trump's tariffs, the
00:03:36.420
attack he's coming against our families, our businesses, our communities. And with a strong mandate, we will be
00:03:43.660
able to fight with Donald Trump to make sure we stop the tariffs and make sure that we give certainty to the
00:03:51.940
people of Ontario. It may take investing tens of billions of dollars. We'll do tens of billions of
00:03:58.940
dollars. It's no different than during the pandemic. We'll make sure we secure people's livelihoods and I
00:04:05.180
will do whatever it takes to protect the people of Ontario. In turn, because we're the engine of Canada,
00:04:11.100
protecting all Canadians, we will not back down.
00:04:22.580
So speaking of that mandate, I mean, if you feel that you need a new mandate, do you feel like you've lost
00:04:27.520
the confidence of the people of Ontario? To the contrary, to the total contrary, or Canada as well.
00:04:34.820
Right now, there's a lack of leadership at the federal level. And at the federal level, we don't
00:04:42.560
know who's going to be the next prime minister. Right now, we need strong leadership in this country.
00:04:48.740
We need strong leadership in this province. And we're going to deliver that strong leadership for
00:04:53.380
the people of Ontario. Here's another statement from Ford.
00:04:56.240
Well, what I'll tell the people of Ontario, we're going to see an unprecedented attack to our families,
00:05:04.440
to our businesses, to our communities. Something that we've never seen in the history of the country,
00:05:11.460
getting economically attacked by the largest country in the world, the most powerful person in the world
00:05:19.020
when it comes to President Trump. And we're going to be there for him. We're going to support the
00:05:24.820
people. We're going to protect the people, protect their jobs, protect communities, protect businesses,
00:05:29.380
just like we did during the pandemic. But this is going to be more of an impact. The pandemic
00:05:36.460
was natural around the world. This is a man targeting to attack and take every business
00:05:43.600
out of Ontario, out of Canada, and try to bring it to the United States. And I'll do whatever it takes
00:05:51.700
to protect the people of Ontario. Let's be honest. He really has no idea what to do about
00:05:57.080
the United States. He's alluding to giving billions of dollars in free money to companies
00:06:03.300
and people like he did in COVID. But to do what? How? And what does that even mean? How would it work?
00:06:11.720
Would it just be a gift to companies that export? Would they be able to pocket it? Would he be paying
00:06:19.220
the tariffs or what? Is it just free money? How? Paid for by whom, may I ask? And I want to show you
00:06:29.480
one more clip. Here he is saying those liberals would just spend money, unlike us conservatives who
00:06:36.220
would spend 10 billion, tens of billions. I don't understand this. He goes from saying we're going
00:06:41.920
to spend money to the opposition would waste money in like one second flag. Look at this clip. I just
00:06:47.660
don't even get what this means. We'll redouble our efforts to build Ontario's economy. We will do
00:06:53.820
whatever it takes to protect workers and their livelihoods. We will invest tens of billions of
00:07:01.460
dollars in new spending to keep people working. We will work with unions and businesses to retain
00:07:08.180
and reskill our hardest hit workers. And as we do, we need to do everything possible to keep our economy
00:07:15.980
competitive. We'll keep up the fight against the job killing liberal carbon tax. And we're urging
00:07:22.580
the federal government to join us in cutting red tape and streamlining approvals to get big things
00:07:29.260
built faster. He's talking about protect Ontario. That's his campaign slogan. Okay, good idea.
00:07:35.720
Protect in what way though? And whatever a politician says, I'll do whatever it takes.
00:07:40.560
It's like what Justin Trudeau and Melanie Jolie have been saying, everything's on the table.
00:07:46.360
I think that's code for, I have no idea what to do. I don't think Doug Ford needs a mandate. His mandate
00:07:54.260
is pretty fresh, barely two years old. And we don't know what Donald Trump is actually going to do,
00:08:00.560
if anything, towards Canada. He said his deadline was his inauguration, but that's more than a week ago.
00:08:07.120
He says tariffs are coming, but they actually haven't come yet. I think they might. I think
00:08:13.380
Ford and Trudeau really want it to happen, but so far they haven't. And take a look at this. I think
00:08:18.820
this is a very important video. This is Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick. He would be the
00:08:24.380
guy actually doing the tariffs. And he loves tariffs, by the way. But here he is pretty blunt. He's saying,
00:08:32.380
this is really not a commerce move. It's not a tariff move. It's a, please close your border to
00:08:39.940
Not a tariff, per se. It is an action of domestic policy. Shut your border and stop allowing fentanyl
00:08:48.620
into our country. This is a separate tariff to create action from Mexico and action from Canada.
00:08:56.540
And as far as I know, they are acting swiftly. And if they execute it, there will be no tariff.
00:09:02.220
And if they don't, then there will be. But it's an action oriented model. That's not the ordinary
00:09:08.420
tariff. The ordinary tariffs need to be studied. So shut your borders. Stop allowing fentanyl into
00:09:13.820
the States. He says it's a separate tariff to create action. The tariff isn't the goal. It's the
00:09:21.220
stick. As far as I know, the tariff may not even actually come. And as far as Lutnik knows,
00:09:30.080
he said it, that if Canada and Mexico actually keep fighting illegal immigration, there will be no
00:09:36.300
tariff. I think Doug Ford might be calling an election with no tariffs afoot. But he doesn't
00:09:41.320
want to waste a crisis. Ford is right. I'll give him this. Doug Ford is right. There is no leadership
00:09:47.320
from Ottawa. Okay. It's not quite true. There are a lot of people in Ottawa, including Justin Trudeau
00:09:54.220
and Melanie Jolie and Chrystia Freeland, come to think of it. And they are staking out their
00:09:59.260
position, each one stronger than the other, all saying the same thing as Ford. We're going to fight.
00:10:04.780
We're going to retaliate. My favorite was Chrystia Freeland saying how much Trump hates her. Like,
00:10:10.420
that's a reason to vote for her. None of them are actually solving the problem that Trump outlined
00:10:14.100
in his first social media tweet that started this whole thing, the call for a closed border
00:10:19.960
to fentanyl and migrants. He just wants the border fixed. They all want to fight. I mean,
00:10:25.060
what would be more fun for Doug Ford or Justin Trudeau or Mark Carney to do? Actually fix the border
00:10:31.820
issue, which is sort of a conservative thing? Or declare war against Trump while running an election
00:10:37.680
against Trump when he's not even on the ballot? Here's an aesthetically cool ad by the Doug
00:10:43.840
Ford team. But I say again, what does it mean? A fighter? How?
00:10:49.220
We all have things we worry about. But when we know trouble is headed our way, we need
00:10:54.540
a fighter. Someone who protects us, our jobs, and our families. That's Premier Doug Ford.
00:11:02.740
When Ottawa descended into chaos, he stood up for us.
00:11:05.980
Now taking Trump on tonight, Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
00:11:09.320
The next four years won't be easy. There's big decisions ahead, and there's only one leader
00:11:16.740
You know, Ford has those Canada is not for sale hats. That's his answer to the Make America Great
00:11:25.080
Again hat. I don't think it's clicking. I think that's a response to Trump's social media jokes
00:11:31.100
about the 51st state thing. I think that's a joke. It's not lawfully, legally going to happen. I don't
00:11:37.920
think that's the real threat. I don't think Ford really knows what to do. But why hasn't he tried
00:11:44.740
to figure it out? Why hasn't Doug Ford gone down to Mar-a-Lago or to the White House to try to fix
00:11:51.940
the problem, or at least to try to learn more about it? Isn't that actually how you fight with a friend
00:11:58.500
or a neighbor? Especially if your neighbor is a little more like Tony Soprano than Ned Flanders.
00:12:04.520
Alberta Premier Daniel Smith is the only one actually fighting, and by fighting I mean the
00:12:09.980
only one who's trying to go and stop the fight, the one who wants a deal. The rest of the premiers
00:12:15.040
would rather torch the country to get a few more years squeezed out of an early election. The federal
00:12:21.580
liberals want that the most. You know, if Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau and B.C.'s David Eby get their
00:12:27.520
way, there will be a trade war. And then you might actually see a movement to break up Canada
00:12:36.040
by Canadians. As I showed you the other week, a lot of young men lack an emotional connection to
00:12:42.880
Canada, and I blame our schools and I blame Justin Trudeau. They lack a deep connection to Canada
00:12:48.380
because they're being told to hate Canada. They've been told we're genociders. They've been told to
00:12:52.380
hate John A. McDonald. And a lot of those same young men love the prosperity in the United States,
00:12:57.860
and they sort of like Trump's masculine decision-making style too. Right now, I grant you,
00:13:05.560
the polls look pretty good for Ford. That's why he's going early. He wants to lock it in. Here's our
00:13:09.800
favorite pollster, David Coletto. You can see Doug Ford, when you remove the undecideds, is at 53%.
00:13:17.160
That's huge. And two unknown first-time leaders, Bonnie Crombie for the Liberals and Merritt Stiles
00:13:26.060
for the NDP, they're at 22% and 17%. They're going to get crushed like a bowl of eggs if these poll
00:13:32.320
numbers hold up. Doug Ford wants to lock in that poll numbers now, and he just might. I mean, God knows
00:13:40.300
the other two options are atrocious. But I don't know a single conservative who is enthusiastic about
00:13:47.960
Ford. He's really only one millimeter to the right of the Liberals, and he can't even say that about
00:13:53.700
anything cultural. He's fully woke. He abides the pro-Hamas hate marches on the street. He's fine with
00:14:02.800
transgenderism in schools and sports. Yeah, two cheers for Doug Ford and his opportunistic election.

00:15:18.600
Oh, there's a theme with this liberal government. They appoint people to investigate themselves,
00:15:23.460
don't they? They do that a lot. For example, after the Emergencies Act, the martial law,
00:15:28.540
Justin Trudeau appointed his own handpicked judge and gave that judge a mandate drafted by the prime
00:15:36.480
minister's office to see if everything was okay. That was called the Public Order Emergency Commission.
00:15:41.620
And sure enough, that judge said, boss, I got your back. Everything was okay. Well, I don't know if you
00:15:48.280
remember, but a few months later, when the independent federal court of Canada reviewed the
00:15:52.300
legality of the Emergencies Act, it said it was illegal and unconstitutional, and it was a scorching
00:15:59.780
ruling. That's the difference between choosing your own investigator. Well, Justin Trudeau likes to do that
00:16:05.260
a lot. And when credible allegations from our security services said there were at least 11 different
00:16:12.060
riding associations in Canada where there was massive foreign interference, including
00:16:16.900
the astonishing case of Han Dong, a liberal MP who reportedly had busloads of foreign Chinese
00:16:24.960
nationals. These were not Canadians. They were foreigners bused into a liberal nomination because
00:16:30.720
that's the Liberal Party's rule, apparently choosing foreign nationals, choosing who the candidate there
00:16:37.400
was. And this happened in 11 districts while Justin Trudeau handpicked the judge again, Justice Marie
00:16:44.080
Hoag. And wouldn't you know it, everything's okay. In fact, the real problem, she said, is too much
00:16:50.680
freedom on the internet. Joining us now to talk about it is someone who was following the entire
00:16:55.680
Hoag Commission and who has written about the report, our friend and chief reporter, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:17:03.680
Ezra, thanks for having me back on the show. There's absolutely nothing in this report that should shock
00:17:08.580
anybody. Justice Hoag laid it out at the beginning of the second half of the Foreign Interference
00:17:13.920
Commission. She said that regardless of CSIS's findings, that 11 parliamentarians had wittingly
00:17:21.880
or unwittingly participated or benefited from foreign interference, she would not be naming them
00:17:28.260
because of the stigma attached. So that sort of set it out.
00:17:31.980
We certainly wouldn't want any stigma for being a foreign spy. I mean, where's your compassion for
00:17:37.580
the foreign spies? Right. Or where's your compassion for the Canadian public who are going to go into
00:17:43.300
the next election, potentially voting for people who have wittingly, I would suggest they all did,
00:17:49.540
with the exception of Mary Ng, who I think doesn't do much wittingly. I think all of them knew exactly
00:17:56.200
what they were doing, but they were happy to take the help because it meant that they would win. And
00:17:59.840
the senators, they're doing it for freebies. Yeah. Yeah, exactly right. Well, Marie Hoag said,
00:18:07.840
Justice Marie Hoag says that there was minimal impact on elections. I don't know how that's
00:18:13.220
possible when foreign nationals bust in, chose in the case of Handong, according to CSIS reports,
00:18:20.800
they chose him. And he, you know, there's certain districts that are a sure bet, or at least were
00:18:26.200
sure bet for the conservatives, sure bet for the liberals. Most of this help went to the liberals.
00:18:31.660
Handong is a member of parliament who was selected by the CCP, by the Chinese Communist Party. That was
00:18:37.420
ratified by voters in his district because they vote liberal no matter what. But he was chosen by
00:18:43.320
China, wasn't he? That's exactly what happened. And now in Hoag's report, she actually says that
00:18:50.980
foreign interference did happen in nominations and it did happen and it could have flipped certain
00:18:57.940
writings. She says that did happen. So for her to say that our democracy is not at risk of foreign
00:19:03.520
interference, she finds that it did affect and disenfranchise Canadians. But her solution to this
00:19:11.940
is a revamped version of Justin Trudeau's censorship bill, C-63, to combat disinformation instead of
00:19:21.700
tightening up rules around foreign interference.
00:19:24.100
The government has the primary responsibility for ensuring national security and protecting our
00:19:30.180
democratic institutions. But what I have read and heard convinces me that society as a whole
00:19:38.480
must contribute to defending these institutions if we want to ensure their survival. Foreign actors are
00:19:47.440
no longer content to use traditional means to interfere. They are also using sophisticated technological
00:19:56.640
means and increasingly sowing disinformation in traditional media, but above all on social media.
00:20:06.880
Distinguishing what is true from what is false is becoming increasingly difficult and the consequences are,
00:20:18.480
in my view, extraordinarily harmful. The impact of traditional methods should not be underestimated,
00:20:27.760
but the greatest threat, the one that I believe threatens the very existence of our democracy,
00:20:35.040
is disinformation. This threat is all the more nefarious because the means available to counter it
00:20:45.680
are limited and very difficult to implement. Nevertheless, we must not give up, but rather attack it forcefully
00:20:56.640
altogether. This cannot be the sole purview of government. It will not work.
00:21:02.720
You know, I'm just thinking of the cover-ups here. If I recall, the first guy that Justin Trudeau put on
00:21:08.320
the scandal was Morris Rosenberg, who was the head of the Trudeau Foundation, if I'm not mistaken.
00:21:14.640
And I think he was there when they personally accepted a quarter million dollar check from the
00:21:18.720
Chinese Communist Party. That didn't pass muster. So he appointed, guess who? His family friend, David Johnston,
00:21:26.240
who's sent his daughters to school in communist China, who's traveled to communist China countless
00:21:32.560
times, met with the president there. So putting David Johnston on the Chinese interference file is the
00:21:40.960
fox in the hen house. This Justice Marie Hogue is the third try, but I think it's like that public order
00:21:48.000
commission. The terms and the mandate, it was a stitch up from the beginning. This was an inside job. I'm not
00:21:54.320
saying that the judge herself is a foreign spy. I'm saying that her refusal to name names and her
00:22:02.320
cover-up, it feels exactly like a hand-picked judge that was in the case of the martial law.
00:22:10.000
Yeah. And the only real recommendation she makes is censorship of Canadians. You know, there's a real
00:22:15.920
thing that she could have recommended that would nip in the bud a lot of this stuff. And that is kicking
00:22:21.600
WeChat out of the country. Right. But because that is where the majority of the foreign interference is
00:22:28.880
organized and spread, particularly against Canadian conservative candidates like Kenny Chu and Michael
00:22:36.960
Chong. That would alleviate a lot of this problem coming from communist China. But instead, the best the
00:22:44.160
liberals can do is censor regular Canadians who are disaffected by the government online and kicking
00:22:49.920
TikTok's office out of Canada. Yeah. You know, WeChat, for those who don't know, it's sort of an
00:22:55.280
everything app controlled by communist China. It's a Chinese app, but an enormous number of Chinese
00:23:00.960
Canadians use it. It's a news app. It's a payment app. It's like Twitter and Amazon and Facebook all
00:23:07.680
combined. And it is a government instrument. It is an instrument of propaganda. I'm not saying there's
00:23:14.800
nothing useful or fun about it. It is useful and fun, which is why so many Chinese Canadians use it.
00:23:20.880
And it's in the Chinese language. But it is controlled by the People's Republic of China.
00:23:26.000
And it is pervasive in this country. And when it goes on the attack, subtly and overtly,
00:23:32.320
it moves thousands of votes. But Trudeau doesn't mind because the 11 tampered ridings
00:23:38.880
were all in his favor that we know of. Yeah. I mean, this is where they organized
00:23:43.920
against Kenny Chu and spread disinformation about him that he was somehow anti-Chinese.
00:23:49.440
I think you can tell by his last name that he's ethnically Chinese. Justice Hogue also complained
00:23:56.480
in her report that the findings of CSIS sometimes lacked transparency, that they weren't telling the
00:24:05.200
targets of foreign interference that they were indeed the targets of foreign interference.
00:24:10.160
It is true. But she's also lacking transparency when she won't even tell us who the beneficiaries
00:24:16.640
of the foreign interference were. You know, this is so tidally covered up. And of course,
00:24:20.480
it's happening when everyone is distracted by the liberal shenanigans, by the Trump tariffs. I mean,
00:24:26.560
this is coming out. You know, I remember on 9-11, I'm old enough to remember that on 9-11,
00:24:31.760
there was this famous British bureaucrat who sent an email when the towers were falling. She said,
00:24:37.440
hey guys, this is a good time to put out any bad news. I don't know if you remember
00:24:42.160
that anecdote from more than 20 years ago, as in, let's take out the dirty laundry while everyone's
00:24:48.080
looking somewhere else. But really, if you look at both Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney,
00:24:53.760
the two leading candidates to take over from Justin Trudeau, they are deeply enmeshed
00:24:58.320
in foreign regimes. Mark Carney, extra deeply, they were both World Economic Forum people,
00:25:04.160
and Mark Carney is heavy into China. It's actually incredible to me that the next prime minister
00:25:09.840
is going to be selected in a similar system that selected Handong. 14-year-olds can vote. They don't
00:25:18.560
even have to be citizens. They used to be anyone in the country. Now they're saying permanent residents.
00:25:24.080
They're still not citizens. You have 14-year-old children who are not citizens who are going to
00:25:30.080
select, not elect, the next prime minister of this country while the rest of us just have to take it.
00:25:36.240
Yeah, we just went through this big year-long process to get to the bottom of foreign interference.
00:25:42.240
I mean, we had Michael Chong being targeted directly out of the Chinese consulate,
00:25:48.000
and nothing, nothing tangible is going to change before Canadians go to the polls.
00:25:53.520
I think at the latest in October, we could have exactly the same problems going forward.
00:25:58.960
And Ontario is a hotbed of this stuff. The majority of the problems actually came out of Ontario and the
00:26:05.760
lower mainland of BC. You guys are going to election right away without any changes happening
00:26:13.120
Yeah. You know, we've been talking about China and the Chinese Communist Party. We know from global
00:26:17.360
news and other sources that there are hundreds of Iran agents, and we see the evidence of that on
00:26:22.800
the streets. Most of these pro-Hamas rallies, they're not actually Palestinians. They're Iranian agents.
00:26:28.960
They're funded, directed, and this has been going on for years, especially in Toronto. They have this
00:26:33.440
yearly Al-Quds Day anti-Semitic fest on Queens Park. It's Iran. And we don't know who the pro-Hamas
00:26:41.120
bloc is voting for. I think they're for Carney, because some of them protested against Christia
00:26:45.360
Freeland. Like the Chinese Communist Party, they're keeping sort of a low profile here.
00:26:50.560
I want to know who Mohammed Faki is backing. He's the pro-Hamas extremist who was given an
00:26:57.600
order of Canada. He used to be Trudeau's pal. If he's backing Mark Carney, that could put Carney over
00:27:03.600
the top. I think Carney's going to be the winner. He's got the deeper China ties, and he seems to be
00:27:09.120
casting his lot in with the Hamas side of things. I think Carney's going to win with a slam dunk,
00:27:14.800
not because he's better known or more popular or better than Christy Freeland. I'm not here
00:27:19.920
defending her. I'm just saying he's got this team of operators on his side, and Freeland doesn't.
00:27:27.040
Well, and there's the whole sideshow with Arya Chandra. I mean, he was engaged in that
00:27:33.760
very open and kind of threatening argument taking place in the House of Commons. It was like a war
00:27:39.680
between India and Sikh separatists happening on Canadian soil. And as we know, a lot of the
00:27:46.160
friction between Sikh separatists and India, it's happening in Canada. It's actually worse here in
00:27:52.800
Canada than I think it is in India. And I wonder what role foreign interference and pressure on the
00:27:58.960
Liberals had to do with not allowing his nomination to go forward. A few minutes back,
00:28:06.480
a member from Surrey Newton introduced a motion seeking unanimous consent, and I said no.
00:28:12.640
I believe on the way out of this chamber, the member threatened that I'll be effed up.
00:28:18.960
So another member also aggressively accosted me in the lobby.
00:28:25.040
I feel that as a member of parliament, I should be able to express my opinion, my views freely in the
00:28:32.800
House, and I should not be felt threatened by any words or actions of my fellow members.
00:28:40.560
The craziest thing is, the Liberals have said he is manifestly unfit to run for their leadership.
00:28:48.160
That's tough talk, but apparently he's good enough to be an MP in their party.
00:28:53.360
So, hey, local residents, your MP is manifestly unfit to serve, but he's good enough for you.
00:29:00.560
He's just not good enough for us. That just is astonishing. Sheila, thanks for the update.
00:29:06.160
I think this fell down the memory hole. I think they released it now,
00:29:09.520
like that bureaucrat on 9-11, just to cover it up.
00:29:13.200
That's exactly what I think happened. What an absolute waste of time. It was a
00:29:17.280
result in search of the process to make it happen.
00:29:22.720
Yeah, it was reverse engineered. Sheila Gunn-Reed, our chief reporter,
00:29:44.320
Platinum Sniper said, if the RCMP didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards.
00:29:49.520
You're talking about how the police are going after someone saying deport them all,
00:29:52.960
but haven't lifted a finger against the pro-Hamas hate marches. Well, the RCMP, I hate to say it,
00:29:58.400
have been highly politicized under Trudeau's reign from the appointment of Brenda Luckey on forward.
00:30:04.320
They have really been politicized to protect Trudeau, and he's done a number of things that are on the
00:30:09.680
face of it quite illegal, including taking that free gift from the Aga Khan. This is very early in
00:30:16.080
his first term of the vacation on Billionaires Island.
00:30:19.360
Liam Loves Metal says, their own policies have soured Canadians to immigration. You're right,
00:30:26.400
and I see that Quebec is now talking about insisting on a provincial Quebec culture rather than
00:30:32.400
multiculturalism. You know, I would have appreciated hearing that 20 or 30 years ago. I fear it's
00:30:38.320
quite too late, especially if you see how far gone Montreal is. Montreal and Toronto are just
00:30:44.320
disasters. Alpha skeptics say, Alberta and Saskatchewan should get rid of the RCMP and create a provincial
00:30:51.920
force that will enforce the law. I agree with that. You know, the RCMP have an anti-firearms agenda.
00:30:59.840
They're woke. Remember, the RCMP started as the Northwest Mounted Police. It actually started in the
00:31:05.440
West. I'd like to see that again. If Quebec can have the surité de Quebec, and if Ontario can have the
00:31:11.280
OPP, the Ontario Provincial Police, why can't the Prairie Provinces have the Northwest Mounted Police?
00:31:17.840
And you know what? It would get Ottawa out of meddling around in the West.
00:31:23.680
