Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Doug Ford milks ANOTHER crisis with snap election call

00:00:00.000 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

00:00:31.200 become a subscriber of what we call Rebel News Plus. It's the video version of this podcast.

00:01:53.220 here's today's podcast.

00:02:09.280 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.

00:02:21.400 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

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

00:08:38.160 illegal migrants and drugs. Take a look.

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, 0.97

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

00:11:13.900 to protect Ontario. That's Premier Doug Ford.

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 0.98

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.

00:17:01.880 Sheila, great to see you again.

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.69

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 0.98

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 0.86

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. 1.00

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 0.89

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

00:26:11.280 whatsoever to stop foreign interference.

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. 0.91

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 0.92

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, 1.00

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.

00:29:05.680 You got it.

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,

00:29:25.600 thanks very much for following this story.

00:29:27.680 You got it, boss.

00:29:28.240 All right. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:29:41.600 Hey, welcome back. Your letters to me.

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, 0.92

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 1.00

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 Well, that's our show for today. Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World
