00:01:44.680 Tonight, the morning after the big election. It's April 29th, and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.

00:01:50.180 We're ready for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:02:05.360 Oh, hi, everybody. I hope you tuned into our live stream last night. I was in this chair for eight

00:02:11.680 hours straight. My friend Sheila Gunn-Reed was in her house, and we had a series of guests throughout

00:02:17.100 the evening, but most importantly, we followed the election, and our hearts went up and down.

00:02:21.980 I think in my own case, I was sort of demoralized by the polls over the last few months, so I was

00:02:26.980 bracing for the worst. And while the conservatives didn't win the election, it was not the worst. The

00:02:32.800 worst would have been a Mark Carney majority government with the conservatives dashed. That's

00:02:38.220 actually how it looked for a little bit a few weeks ago. I didn't quite believe the polls, but I didn't

00:02:42.860 want to, I didn't want to, you know, imagine my way out of the reality. When 10 different pollsters

00:02:49.800 are saying the same thing, I think you have to bend to reality. But I got up this morning, even though

00:02:55.980 we were up super late last night. By the way, about a million people watched our live stream last night

00:03:01.960 between Rumble and YouTube. It was the largest live stream we've ever done, which was pretty cool.

00:03:06.040 I got up this morning because I was sort of excited and my brain was turning about what I had

00:03:12.980 seen. And I took the liberty of writing some notes and I first shared it with the team. And then I thought,

00:03:18.780 heck, I'm going to, I'm going to do a little video about it. So here with is my sort of six minute summary of

00:03:24.960 why I'm feeling glass half full about the election rather than glass half empty. Here, take a look at my thoughts

00:03:32.080 that I wrote this morning. So why did Pierre Polyev lose the election last night? After all, under him,

00:03:41.120 the conservatives received a higher vote share than any party has received since 1988, 41.4%. That was

00:03:50.540 enough to give Brian Mulroney a majority government. But Mulroney was fighting against a divided left.

00:03:56.760 The most important factor in this election was Jagmeet Singh happily euthanizing the NDP,

00:04:03.780 taking it down to just 6.3% and only seven seats. Singh had thrown in the towel years ago. It was

00:04:10.500 obvious. And he was a de facto liberal. It'll be interesting to see what patronage he receives

00:04:16.400 from Mark Carney as a thank you. The Green Party went even further, officially canceling nearly a hundred of

00:04:23.700 their own candidates explicitly so as not to split the left-wing vote. They wanted it all to go with

00:04:30.380 the liberals. Left-wing Canadians don't actually need the NDP or the Green Party anymore. Canadians are

00:04:37.340 about to learn just how radical Mark Carney is on everything from net zero environmentalism to foreign

00:04:43.760 policy. He didn't need to keep up the anti-Americanism in his speech last night when he won. I mean,

00:04:50.320 the election was over. But Mark Carney chose to because he actually believes in realigning Canada

00:04:57.720 with China. As I've been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water,

00:05:06.120 our country. Never. But these are not, these are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us

00:05:18.260 so that America can own us. That will never, that will never, ever happen.

00:05:26.800 Just as he did when he chaired Brookfield Asset Management. I've called Carney Trudeau 2.0,

00:05:34.400 but smarter and harder working. Now that's true. And Carney has most of the same team

00:05:39.480 as Trudeau, including the disgraced Rasputin figure, Gerald Butz. But Carney and his extremist wife

00:05:47.760 are deep ideological activists, whereas Trudeau was more of a cliche spouting mascot. If it helps to

00:05:55.940 understand Carney, know that the company he chaired, Brookfield Asset Management, has a trillion dollars

00:06:02.580 under management. It's like BlackRock and just as ideological and dictatorial. By the way, has any

00:06:09.500 Canadian media outlet other than Rebel News reported that Mark Carney was interrogated last year by

00:06:15.300 congressional staff accused of extorting coal companies? I believe Polyev will actually win

00:06:22.200 the next election. The Trump challenge will resolve itself one way or another. Carney's thin-skinned,

00:06:29.740 domineering personality is already showing itself. He'll soon find out that running a caucus and

00:06:35.340 running a confederation is a bit different than being a corporate oligarch where everyone says,

00:06:40.480 yes sir. I'll give Trudeau this. He could be charming and his wife was embarrassing but harmless.

00:06:48.660 Mark Carney doesn't have emotional intelligence and his wife is like Lady Macbeth. More important 0.85

00:06:54.740 than personality, all of the issues that caused people to hate Trudeau, housing costs, mass immigration,

00:07:02.700 taxes, wokeism, all those issues are going to continue under Carney and people will see that Carney's

00:07:08.800 cabinet is largely the same as Trudeau's was. There has been no real change in the liberals.

00:07:15.720 Polyev's achievements include realigning the conservatives, making it the party of the working man,

00:07:21.880 something that will accelerate as the public slowly realizes just who Carney is and who he listens to.

00:07:29.020 Carney hasn't given up his belief in net zero de-industrialization or other world economic forum

00:07:36.400 obsessions. You know there's a reason the mainstream media don't want you learning about the world

00:07:40.960 economic forum or what Carney did there as a board member. Imagine you're a 25 year old who can't

00:07:48.720 afford to buy a house and you're watching Carney's boomer dance last night and his wife's Elaine Bennis

00:07:55.520 moves. The world economic forum is like the bohemian grove but for Europeans and leftists there's a

00:08:01.180 different temperament amongst the little people. Expect Carney to keep his promise to lavish money

00:08:08.260 on the CBC state broadcaster partly as a reward for their service these past months and partly to start

00:08:13.760 campaigning for the next election that could come within a year. Don't be surprised if as a corollary

00:08:19.600 Carney reintroduces Trudeau's C63 Online Harms Act censorship bill. You've already seen how they treat

00:08:27.880 Rebel News. They want citizen journalists to know their place. Rebel News played a role in this election

00:08:34.120 as you know. We had 318 million views and impressions during the campaign. In the riding of York Center

00:08:41.400 for example we helped drive out the pro-Hamas MP Yaara Sachs a bright spot in a gloomy night. It's going to be

00:08:49.500 an interesting year. There are a lot more stories to tell and the regime media won't tell them so we at

00:08:54.400 Rebel News will. There's also more need than ever for rebel style of activism especially our civil liberties

00:09:02.160 litigation. We have a track record of beating the liberals in court especially when it comes to their

00:09:07.300 censorship and bullying. We're going to need to do a lot more of that and frankly I'm going to need your help

00:09:12.820 to do it. I'll share more thoughts later but the results last night were not as disappointing as I feared.

00:09:19.720 Come on. Don't mope. Pick yourself up and get going. Surely you can see how close we are now.

00:09:27.520 For Rebel News I'm Ezra Levant.

00:09:32.620 Hey to follow all of our reporting on Mark Carney including our investigative journalism

00:09:37.160 go to thecarneyfiles.com. What do you think? Do you think I'm deceiving myself just to cope or do you

00:09:43.920 think? Perhaps Pierre Polyev is on the precipice of a strong majority. I guess time will tell. It's too

00:09:50.280 easy of an answer. By the way I got a lot of calls from Americans today who were interested in what

00:09:56.600 happened. I mean Americans are focused on other things. The war between Russia and Ukraine. The

00:10:02.860 situation with Iran. The Abraham Accords part two. China. Europe. There's so much the Americans think

00:10:09.660 about that Canada really isn't in the top 10 but they started to pay attention to our country during

00:10:16.020 the trucker convoy and they got Justin Trudeau's read pretty quick so I did a few interviews. I'm not

00:10:21.660 going to show you all of them because they they went on rather long but let me show you an excerpt from

00:10:26.160 my visits with Charlie Kirk who is a very influential Republican conservative activist really focuses on

00:10:33.160 young people. I was really glad to have a chance to talk with him and then my old buddy Alex Jones

00:10:38.300 who is so smart and so well read. Frankly he could be doing these monologues. He really understands

00:10:44.020 Canadian politics. So without further ado here's a couple of clips from my day talking to Americans.

00:10:51.300 We're going to dive deeper into the Canadian results here with my friend Ezra Levant from

00:10:55.900 Rebel News. Ezra great to see you. You actually have a glass half full interpretation of the Canadian

00:11:02.480 election results. Tell us about it. Thanks. I mean you got to if you're a conservative in the left of

00:11:07.780 center country like Canada you always got to be looking for the silver lining and let me tell you

00:11:11.860 what it is. The Conservative Party of Canada led by Pierre Polyev got the highest vote count of the

00:11:18.980 Conservative Party in a generation. The last time the Conservatives got this many votes it was 1988.

00:11:26.080 Trouble is we have a multi-party system. It's not the U.S. style two-party system. So Pierre Polyev the

00:11:33.500 Conservative ran a working-class Conservative campaign that focused on things like reducing

00:11:39.200 immigration, reducing inflation, reducing the cost. You know it was actually something that I think

00:11:44.940 American Conservatives would like. Trouble is the left-wing parties all joined together. So

00:11:50.840 Pierre Polyev got about 41.5 percent and you're thinking well that's terrible because in the two-party

00:11:57.460 American system it would be. But believe it or not that's the highest any politician has got in Canada

00:12:03.900 in 30 years. But the Socialist Party fell down to six percent. All of it went to the Liberals. The Green 0.60

00:12:12.360 Party did a trick. They canceled over a hundred of their candidates to stop splitting the vote. So what

00:12:18.260 happened is the Liberal candidate led by a World Economic Forum board member named Mark Carney,

00:12:24.760 he squeaked past Pierre Polyev and he formed a minority government. What does that mean? He didn't

00:12:33.000 get most of the seats in the parliament. So he's there's a chance we'll be going back to the polls

00:12:38.380 sometime this year. It's not a disaster. It feels bad because as recently as four or five months ago

00:12:46.800 the Conservatives were looking to cruise to victory with the majority. But I'll be candid with you Charlie

00:12:53.020 and you know me. I'm the biggest Trump booster in Canada. Donald Trump's heckling and his banter about

00:13:00.000 the 51st state. That spooked some people who had thin skin or didn't understand what to make of it.

00:13:07.180 And I think that probably drove five or ten percent over to the Liberals. So glass half full is best

00:13:14.640 conservative results in a long time. The new Conservative Party is very attractive to young people

00:13:20.160 and working class people. The bad news is the Liberals squeaked past them. And I hate to say it, 0.56

00:13:26.760 it was that Trump banter that hurt some feelings. Yeah. So let's let's dive deeper into this and examine

00:13:34.040 it. So first, that sounds like it was a French playbook where there was meaning in the France,

00:13:40.080 they did something similar where the Liberal parties kind of all combined together. I have to imagine,

00:13:45.860 though, it's just a little bit different than American politics, where was it not cost of living

00:13:52.580 and mass migration and cultural cohesion? That was a bigger issue. Was this really a referendum on

00:13:59.340 President Trump externally? I mean, walk us into the elements here.

00:14:04.460 Well, there was a generational divide, which was so interesting. Historically, the Liberal Party gets the

00:14:11.240 young voters. Justin Trudeau won in 2015, in part on his promise to legalize marijuana. Trudeau tried

00:14:17.700 to come across as young and hip and cool. And he got the young vote. This time around, young people

00:14:23.160 really tilted towards the Conservatives for the reasons you say. It's tough to find a house you can

00:14:29.140 buy in Canada. Mass immigration has driven down wages and pushed up housing costs. So immigration was the 0.99

00:14:36.840 subtle driver of all, not so subtle driver of all these things. Crime is a huge crime wave in Canada.

00:14:45.300 In many ways, we're now actually more violent than the United States, which has never happened before.

00:14:50.400 And finally, we have big pro-Hamas street marches, things that, I mean, occasionally you see them in

00:14:57.060 the United States, but they're a weekly thing in Canada. So yes, immigration was at play. But it was a

00:15:03.140 generational thing. Young people feel a little bit hopeless. They can't buy a house. They can barely

00:15:09.060 afford to get ahead. And they see that mass immigration is driving those things. Whereas boomers 0.96

00:15:13.980 and seniors, they've already got their home paid off. So they don't care if house prices rise. That's 0.97

00:15:19.940 good for them. They don't really pay income taxes because they don't work anymore. And I think that they're

00:15:25.760 oblivious to some of the street battles in Canada over race and ethnicity, diaspora politics. So the

00:15:32.700 boomers and the seniors could afford the luxury political belief of being offended by Donald

00:15:38.340 Trump. Like imagine that is driving your vote for your prime minister. Who's going to push back at

00:15:44.280 Trump's heckles? That is not a serious reason to vote for someone because like I say, it's a luxury

00:15:51.180 belief you can only afford if everything else in your life is going right. Young people didn't really care 1.00

00:15:56.940 about the Trump tweets, but boomers and seniors, especially liberal minded boomers and seniors,

00:16:02.620 they cared a lot. So it's a luxury belief to be so offended at Trump that you can basically crap on 0.97

00:16:10.600 your kids' future. And luxury beliefs are something we talk about a lot on this program. Okay. So you are

00:16:17.260 rather hopeful actually about the future of Canadian politics based on your analysis and your

00:16:23.020 interpretation. Just kind of, let's take a step back. What, what does an election look like?

00:16:28.740 Uh, what was, is there a lot of money being spent? How much money was spent on this? Was it campaigning

00:16:34.520 across the country? I know that it was a rather truncated or a rather compressed election season.

00:16:41.060 So educate us on what Canadian elections look like. Canadian elections. There's a five week period

00:16:48.020 where everyone goes full guns. Now, obviously everything before that there's sort of have the

00:16:53.760 campaign in mind, but there's an intensity of those last five weeks in Canada, the government has

00:16:59.880 nationalized leaders debates. So there was an official government run leaders debate halfway

00:17:05.620 through. And typically people really pay attention to those. Um, but, uh, you know, there is a lot of

00:17:12.320 money being spent Canada is about one 10th, the size of the U S and we probably had one 10th the size of

00:17:18.760 the budget, but the campaigns of their campaign jets, and it's all about ID in your vote and get out the

00:17:25.200 vote. Obviously a lot of the campaigning is digital. Um, so it's very much like an American campaign. In fact,

00:17:31.840 the liberals typically have campaign advisors from the Democrats. Um, let me tell you a quirky thing,

00:17:39.260 Mark Carney and, uh, and another candidate named Evan Solomon. They're, they're basically run by a

00:17:48.000 globalist lobby group in New York called the Eurasia group. It's sort of weird how that it's in New York

00:17:55.680 city, but it was sort of running the campaign for the liberal party in Canada. Justin Trudeau's

00:18:00.980 former mentor works at the Eurasia group. And that's where Mark Carney, the prime minister, his wife

00:18:07.520 works like this little office in New York is basically being the puppet master for Canada.

00:18:13.700 It's a little bit weird. There's a lot of foreign interference in our election. I should 0.99

00:18:16.860 mention in the last election, the Chinese communist party was found to be interfering in 11 different,

00:18:23.500 uh, districts. This election, it was even worse. In fact, um, one candidate had to step down

00:18:31.820 because he was a Chinese Canadian candidate who said, if you kidnap my opponent and take him to

00:18:38.340 the Chinese consulate, you'll get a million dollar bounty. I know what I said just sounded insane,

00:18:44.600 but he said it three times. And finally he resigned as the candidate to be replaced

00:18:50.240 by another Chinese communist party candidate, a police officer, Chinese Canadian police officer

00:18:56.420 who would attend Chinese communist party events in his police uniform, sing communist songs. Like

00:19:02.600 the hand of China is very apparent in our politics. In fact, our new prime minister, Mark Carney,

00:19:08.680 you may know that he was the chair of Brookfield asset management, which is like a slightly smaller

00:19:14.760 black rock. He's met with Xi Jinping. He's done huge business deals in China. He took a quarter

00:19:21.660 billion dollar loan from China. So we have a real China problem in Canada. There are great 0.99

00:19:27.740 loyal freedom oriented Chinese Canadians fighting against that. But the Mark Carney government is as

00:19:34.280 pro China as you can get. Let me throw one last thing at you, Charlie. Canadian politicians were sort

00:19:39.940 of heckling back at Donald Trump. I know you didn't hear it because it was for Canadian domestic

00:19:45.300 consumption. It was sort of, can you prove who is the toughest to stand up to Trump?

00:19:50.380 That was a campaign thing to juice the turnout that we talked about, those sensitive boomers and

00:19:55.620 seniors. But last night, after the votes were counted, Mark Carney, the new liberal prime minister,

00:20:01.200 the former World Economic Forum board member, the former chair of Brookfield asset management,

00:20:05.520 he takes the stage for his acceptance speech. Campaign's over now. Now he has to think like a prime

00:20:11.140 minister. He goes extra hard at Donald Trump. He says that Canada and the US will never have the same

00:20:18.280 relation again. He will reorient Canada. If he gets his way, he will realign us with communist China. 0.87

00:20:27.620 So it wasn't just a campaign trick. It wasn't just a way, his anti-Americanism wasn't just a tactic.

00:20:35.980 He deeply believes in it. This guy is the ultimate globalist. I think I told you

00:20:40.140 before him. He has three passports. He has a home in the United Kingdom, a home in New York City.

00:20:49.480 I don't think he's actually been back in Canada for more than a few weeks. I flew to the Isle of Man

00:20:55.080 two weeks ago because he had set up a shell company with a straw man director there. I don't even know

00:21:02.400 what country he pays his taxes in. We are dealing with someone who truly is the World Economic Forum.

00:21:09.740 But I mean, just just really quick, though, and it's just I have the 30 seconds. We'll pick it up

00:21:15.740 after the break, though. All of that is true. Then how how was the Canadian polity so bamboozled by this

00:21:22.900 guy? Is it because you don't have free speech and you don't have alternative media to be able to get

00:21:28.520 this message out? There's some anti-Americanism in Canada. Our media is so concentrated it would be

00:21:35.920 as if PBS was larger than all other media combined. That's our CBC state broadcaster. And I say again,

00:21:42.740 despite all that, Pierre Polyev did exceedingly well. It just wasn't good enough, given the France 0.86

00:21:49.100 style trick you mentioned, where they all unified behind the lefty. It was close, though. The liberal

00:21:55.080 only beat the conservative by two percent. So don't write us off yet, Charlie. That's why I'm

00:21:59.540 not gloomy. Glass half full. I think Polyev will win it within the next year and we'll be smiling

00:22:04.600 again. So now the policies of the globalists that have destroyed Canada. It's horrible. I think we

00:22:11.320 got a bad economy when they're so rich resource wise. Now the bad guys get to pose as the good guys,

00:22:17.820 as Ezra Rovant politely, respectfully warned on this broadcast. Ezra, you were absolutely right.

00:22:24.280 What's the lay of the land? Can this be salvaged? What do you think Trump should start doing?

00:22:29.880 Well, I got bad news and I got good news. You saw the bad news. Here's why that acceptance speech

00:22:35.880 by Mark Carney is scary. I understand that he campaigned as an anti-American to get votes.

00:22:44.520 There's Trump derangement syndrome in Canada. There's a streak of anti-Americanism that goes back

00:22:49.520 to the US Revolutionary War. Where did the, you know, royal loyalists go when they lost

00:22:55.340 to George Washington? They came up to Canada. So anti-Americanism has been under the surface in

00:23:00.300 Canada for a long time. I had thought that Mark Carney was just stoking that anti-Americanism

00:23:06.320 till the election. But what you saw there was his speech after he won. So he really is in his heart

00:23:12.900 an anti-American. And remember when he was the chair of Brookfield Asset Management,

00:23:19.260 which is a slightly smaller BlackRock, he was totally in bed with China. Did you hear what 0.79

00:23:24.700 he said there? Our relationship with America is over as we know it. He wants to realign Canada

00:23:30.520 towards China. And there was more of his speech. He talked about replacing American trade

00:23:35.640 with foreign trade. And he's talking about things like energy. Canada has an enormous amount of oil

00:23:42.720 and gas. China's been sniffing around. I'm worried Mark Carney is going to try and reorient our country

00:23:49.240 towards him. And that's what he warned of a month ago. He said Trump needs to come in and make an oil

00:23:53.440 deal right now to block that. Yeah. I mean, Canada right now, I'll be candid. The reason we have a

00:23:58.720 trade surplus with America, it's not nefarious. It's because you guys buy oil from us. And my point is

00:24:04.080 better to buy oil from Canada when, by the way, it's often US firms pumping the oil than to buy

00:24:09.960 it from OPEC countries. First of all, you don't have to have the Pentagon patrolling the Persian

00:24:15.560 Gulf sea lanes. You just have a pipeline. Well, sure. And the US also refines most of it. So it's

00:24:20.700 a good deal. Yeah. So that's the bad news. And I think you know Mark Carney quite well. You know,

00:24:27.800 for example, that he's got three passports, Irish, American, sorry, Irish, British, and Canadian.

00:24:33.640 You know that he's a globalist tax evader. You know that he's, for example, hung out with

00:24:40.800 Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficker. You know that his wife, her family, bizarrely,

00:24:47.960 is in Epstein's black book. You know that Prince Andrew, a client of Jeffrey Epstein,

00:24:53.560 threw a party for Mark Carney at Buckingham Palace and picked up the tab. Those are alarm bells. There

00:24:59.940 might be some innocent explanation for it, but we haven't heard it. So this guy truly is an anti-American

00:25:07.160 World Economic Forum actor. That's the bad news. But can I tell you some good news? I have to be an

00:25:13.380 optimist, Alex, because I live in Canada. If I was a pessimist, I'd flee this place a long time ago.

00:25:19.140 I want to stay and fight. And so a guy like me needs hope. Let me tell you why I have a little bit of

00:25:24.460 reason for hope. Number one, the conservative candidate in Canada, his name is Pierre Polyev,

00:25:29.820 he actually got the highest vote for any conservative candidate since the 80s. The only

00:25:36.280 reason that wasn't enough to push him over the top is that all the opposition parties on the left

00:25:41.760 united around the liberals. It was like in Macron's France, where the minor parties all withdrew their

00:25:50.720 candidates so that they had a unite the left plan to beat Le Pen. I don't know if you followed that,

00:25:57.460 but they did that in Canada. So for people that don't know, it's not a two party system. You got

00:26:01.400 a whole bunch. So they do this uniting all these other parties to win. Yeah, we have a parliamentary

00:26:07.660 system. So typically you get 40 percent of the vote. You've won it because there's five parties in

00:26:12.160 parliament. What happened is the Green Party, they canceled 100 of their candidates. The Socialist Party

00:26:18.460 called the NDP. They basically stopped campaigning. So even though the conservatives had a record vote

00:26:24.440 last night, it wasn't enough to beat the total united leftists. But it came within two percent, Alex.

00:26:31.800 There's one more thing I want to tell you, and I think you might appreciate this. One of the things

00:26:35.660 that Donald Trump has done for the U.S. Republican Party, he's made it a working man's party. He's a

00:26:41.000 billionaire himself, but he's a blue collar billionaire in his sensibility and his friendships.

00:26:46.420 He's at home with a steel worker. He's at home with a construction worker. Pierre Polyev,

00:26:52.180 that's the Canadian conservative, has managed to do the same thing. He's made the Canadian

00:26:56.760 Conservative Party a party of the working class and incredibly a party of the young. When Justin

00:27:02.120 Trudeau became PM 10 years ago, he did so in part by promising young people he'd legalize marijuana.

00:27:08.660 It's not a great policy, but it was how he appeared hip to the kids. Pierre Polyev now dominates

00:27:14.460 young people their vote, rather, because in Canada you can't afford a house. Our mass immigration 1.00

00:27:21.360 has driven down wages and pushed up accommodation. So Pierre Polyev, he came so close last night,

00:27:28.700 and he's within two points of winning, and he's got the young people and he's got the working class.

00:27:34.500 And so Mark Carney won last night. It's true, but he didn't win a majority. And in a parliamentary

00:27:42.400 system, if you have a minority government, that means there's a risk you could fall as a government.

00:27:47.240 There could be election anytime. I'm trying to keep my hopes up because we've got to stop Mark Carney

00:27:52.500 before he does Canada in. He wants to put us in a Chinese orbit. He wants, he, I don't know if you

00:27:58.360 know what his main job was before he came back to Canada. He led something called the Glasgow Financial

00:28:04.040 Alliance for Net Zero, G-Fans, basically forcing companies to get rid of any fossil fuels.

00:28:13.600 Sure, I mean, he's a major ESG enforcer. So if Pierre Polyev lost his own seat in the Canadian election,

00:28:20.940 you know, they're calling it humbling. But you're saying they had the biggest showing ever. A,

00:28:24.580 what does that mean? And then B, a lot of people didn't support him because they're saying he's not

00:28:28.460 really a conservative. But I guess you know him well. What do you think?

00:28:32.360 Look, I've known him for 25 years. In fact, they tried to hang that around him. There were stories

00:28:37.100 as relevant as Pierre Polyev's mentor. I'm not his mentor. We did work together 25 years ago. And here's

00:28:42.900 what I can say about that. He's been a conservative his whole life. I've known him for 25 years. I'm not

00:28:47.920 going to pretend to be close to him. The liberals would use that against him. It's not true that I'm close

00:28:53.080 with him. But I know him well enough to know that he has been a conservative advocate his whole life

00:28:59.360 without changing his mind or his view. And yeah, he lost his seat. That's a hassle. It's a small

00:29:04.880 problem. Let me give you an example in the World Economic Forum. He has announced that no member

00:29:10.200 of his party will go to the World Economic Forum in Davos. That's what he has to say about globalists.

00:29:14.900 He has announced that he'll cut foreign aid and use it on Canadian projects. He has announced the

00:29:22.960 end to woke-ism. Sure. What do you think of Maxime Bernier, though? I just know when I talk to

00:29:28.640 Canadians and open the phones up, a lot of them said that Polyev wasn't that good. But I mean,

00:29:33.300 I know you're a really smart guy and I trust you. I like Bernier. I like the fact that he stood up

00:29:39.540 against the COVID pandemic lockdowns. I like the fact that he believes in free speech and zero

00:29:44.620 immigration. But Alex, last night he got 0.7 percent of the vote. Maxime Bernier is a good

00:29:51.680 egg. He's got a good heart. I like him. I like his style. But he gets like Libertarian Party level

00:29:58.980 votes. And that's because the Conservatives know that the main Conservative Party had a better chance

00:30:03.040 of winning. Yeah. And listen, Pierre Polyev is not perfect, but he is the most Conservative leader

00:30:10.940 we have had in Canada in a generation. He did the best of any Conservative in a generation.

00:30:17.660 There are only two choices for Prime Minister, him or Mark Carney. So voting for Maxime Bernier is

00:30:23.420 a luxury that I don't think Canadians... I understand. At the same time, he's eloquent and he did win

00:30:29.600 votes to be the party leader, which they ignored before. So I see why he's upset. But he has done

00:30:33.580 some good, at least on his speaking tours, educating people about the globalists and policies.

00:30:37.660 And he should do more of that. He should be like, I don't know, like Charlie Kirk, going around the

00:30:42.500 country, giving speeches, debating, encouraging people. But there is a place for Maxime Bernier for

00:30:50.600 sure. And you're showing some great pictures of him. That's his place. Well, let me ask you this,

00:30:55.660 then. What I'm getting from what you're saying is just like Labour was able to do a parliamentary

00:31:00.440 manipulation in the UK and get in, but now they're more unpopular than ever. So it's causing an

00:31:06.040 awakening. And you're saying this was the best showing ever for the Conservatives in Canada, vote-wise,

00:31:12.260 that if Trump's misstep, you know, making it about sovereignty of Canada, driving people into the

00:31:18.660 Liberals' hands, as soon as people figure out that it's, oh, wait, it was the globalists and the

00:31:23.620 WEF candidates and people like Trudeau and now Carney that are doing this, that as long as Trump

00:31:30.040 stops the nationalistic attacks on their sovereignty, that Trump could come up with a new

00:31:37.180 form of rhetoric to approach this and actually be instrumental in helping the Canadians unseat the WEF

00:31:45.540 party. I try and understand what Trump is doing. And here's my thinking. And Alex, you correct me if

00:31:51.460 I'm wrong. Here's what's on Trump's plate in terms of foreign policy, war between Russia and Ukraine,

00:31:56.880 possible war with Iran, Abraham Accords part two, dealing with China, European Union, Brazil,

00:32:04.580 like the Mexican border. There's so many, I've just listed five or 10 foreign policy things,

00:32:10.080 each of which is more important than Canada. I don't think Trump is spending a lot of intellectual

00:32:15.340 bandwidth on Canada because we're not a crisis. So I think he, he came up with that one liner.

00:32:20.880 You should be our 51st state because it really jabbed Justin Trudeau. And Trump likes to do that

00:32:26.280 with, with people. But what he didn't know is 100% Trudeau came down to Mar-a-Lago. He made the joke.

00:32:31.720 Everybody loved it. And then Trump just, you know, he's a ham. He started just making the joke more, 0.99

00:32:36.540 but then you and I were like, that's not going to be funny to Canadians. Please stop.

00:32:41.260 You know, because some Canadians found it an indecent proposal. It would be like asking a

00:32:46.300 married woman to go on a date. If she was ready to divorce her man, maybe she would, 1.00

00:32:50.160 but if she loved her husband, it would be, it would come across as impertinent.

00:32:53.600 You should have sold it as an alliance against the globalists. And then, and then,

00:32:57.580 and then we'd have conservatives in right now. I mean, let's just say it.

00:33:00.220 I want us to get back to being best friends. I want America and Canada to be like Batman and Robin.

00:33:05.640 I know we're the junior partner, but we can be best friends. And that's got off track.

00:33:10.820 And here's the thing. Trump did it accidentally. Well, here's the issue. If we don't have an

00:33:14.460 alliance with Canada, the CHICOMs are, and that is untenable. That's why Canada is important people. 1.00

00:33:19.900 Some of my listeners, I see them comment. Why are we hearing about Canada? Well,

00:33:22.600 you better care about Canada because the CHICOMs do. Let me give you four reasons to care about 1.00

00:33:27.080 Canada. Number one, we're a laboratory for bad ideas. Universal. It's like a giant California to our

00:33:32.980 north. Exactly. Number two, we are geographically between you and Russia, between you and Chinese 1.00

00:33:41.620 hot air balloons coming over the Arctic. So we are part of your security plan, whether we or you like

00:33:48.680 it or not. And like Russia, you've got shit tons of resources. We should be working with you. 0.99

00:33:54.320 That was my next point. We've got so much oil. We rival Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. 0.92

00:33:58.420 And our free trade agreement that Donald Trump negotiated personally contains a side letter

00:34:04.280 giving Americans preferential access to our oil and gas.

00:34:07.780 You don't have to tell me about Canada. Do you know where my East Texas family,

00:34:12.480 but they've had a lot of kids and a great family. I mean, Jerry Earle's probably got like,

00:34:17.000 I don't know, like 15 grandkids and like a whole bunch of kids. A whole bunch of his family works up

00:34:22.100 in Canada and they go up and visit and they love it and they're making good money and they're happy.

00:34:25.660 So I got a lot of family employed up in Canada. I want to come back into the American orbit. I want 0.82

00:34:32.420 to stay an independent country. But if we're in the American orbit, that is where we belong. We don't

00:34:36.540 belong in a European orbit or in a Chinese orbit. I got a video clip. I'm sorry, I didn't think of it

00:34:41.640 for today's show of Mark Carney saying at a World Economic Forum panel, he said, I'm a European.

00:34:47.560 That's how he thinks of himself. I think of myself as a proud Canadian who loves America.

00:34:53.000 And I don't see a contradiction in that. Mark Carney thinks of himself as a globalist,

00:34:58.000 a European and an anti-American. That's what makes me nervous. You heard him. He's not campaigning

00:35:04.200 anymore. And he's saying we are breaking away from America. You don't want that. You want us close

00:35:09.820 and we can be best friends again. We just got to tone down that one barb that Donald Trump was using

00:35:16.560 because for whether it's reasonable or not, Canadians were sensitive to it.

00:35:22.740 And well, that's why they don't like the WF party as they started figuring out Trudeau was selling

00:35:26.280 them out to China. And so then again, instead of going with the truth, Trump did the joke and now

00:35:32.040 it's backfired. And I love his jokes. That's half the fun of Donald Trump is his personality.

00:35:37.400 His rallies are really, they could be standup comedy shows. He's just such a great entertainer.

00:35:42.200 But the joke here scared people. And you know how close it was last night? It was 41% to 43%.

00:35:49.600 So if just 1% moved, they would have been tied. I think that joke might've moved 5%.

00:35:56.660 Oh, 100% Trump handed the globalist victory in Canada.

00:36:00.680 And I know he didn't mean to do that. At least I hope he didn't mean to do that.

00:36:04.140 And there's so many better ways to be friends and allies. Look, I think we're going to get along

00:36:09.520 more or less anyways. I think Mark Carney doesn't control all the levers of power and there will

00:36:14.660 be other levels of friendship. For example, the premier of the province of Alberta, that's the

00:36:19.720 oil province. She went to Trump's inauguration. She has not said a hard word about Trump because

00:36:24.960 she's a diplomat. She wants to get the deal done. So there are other forces in Canada besides the

00:36:29.880 prime minister. Look, I'm optimistic that within a year we'll be able to fix this. I don't think that

00:36:34.780 Mark Carney's minority government. I totally agree. If Trump stops the rhetoric that helps

00:36:39.300 the globalists. Yeah. And listen, I love Trump, but I like his bellicose style and it's needed

00:36:45.340 for dealing with China, for dealing with the Middle East. You need his strength. But with Canada,

00:36:53.420 you know, people thought the roughness was out of place. And I say this as the only journalist in

00:36:59.340 Canada, whose company endorsed Trump in all three elections, we've got the scars to show for being

00:37:05.900 pro-Trump. I think Trump needs to recalibrate here because I want to, I want to get back to being best

00:37:11.860 friends and I want to get rid of Mark Carney. Yeah. I want to have Canada not be the giant

00:37:17.560 California of the North. I mean, I'd love to freak California as well. All right. Just one minute on

00:37:24.540 this, Ezra, how do you see the trade war going in general though? Look, I don't, again, I wish I

00:37:31.640 understood a little bit better. Trump has a fair argument when he says we have too much dairy and

00:37:36.960 poultry tariffs. It's true. And that makes food twice as expensive here. You know, there was actually

00:37:42.780 a smuggling ring that smuggled cheese across the border from Niagara Falls, New York, and in Niagara

00:37:48.640 Falls, Ontario, because it was so much cheaper on the American side. You got to Google it.

00:37:54.200 The cheese smuggler. It's crazy. Trump's right on that. Trump's right that American banks should be

00:38:00.880 allowed to give mortgages in Canada. I wish we had the competition in our banking sector. I wish we had

00:38:05.680 American cell phone companies. We pay amongst the highest data rates in the world for cell phones.

00:38:11.080 All of these things are good for American business, but they're great for Canadian citizens. I agree with

00:38:16.700 all of that. The trade surplus is in large part because of oil and gas. You're going to have that trade

00:38:21.960 surplus with whoever you buy it from until you get your own oil and gas industry.

00:38:27.340 Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. There's not a one, one, one size fits all here. Since you mentioned your new

00:38:32.360 prime minister, the globalist, uh, that Trump's misstep has put into power here, uh, here is a Mark

00:38:38.340 Karnke saying he's not a Canadian. He's a European, meaning globalist.

00:38:41.840 Mark, you look like you were about to, um, as a European, you know, as a, as a European,

00:38:47.440 I'm a European actually. Yeah. So there you go. Um, speaking as a European, um, I like to say

00:38:54.880 falling. And that's recent. So he's not a Canadian. He is a real globalist. Wow. So you guys literally

00:39:00.120 have a, a usurper. I don't think he has a Canadian driver's license or health card. Uh, I think he

00:39:08.500 literally moved back to Canada weeks ago. He was interrogated by the U S Congress. They were looking

00:39:14.320 into his, his alleged extortion of fossil fuel companies. And he said under oath to the U S

00:39:21.100 Congress that he was a resident of the United Kingdom. That was just a few months ago, but I'm

00:39:25.760 excited about the work ahead. Yeah. I wish the conservatives had won. And yeah, I'm worried

00:39:30.760 about what Mark Carney will do to the country, but I feel like we're going to have another crack at

00:39:34.740 things within the next year that we won't have to wait four years. And I think that Mark Carney might

00:39:39.200 come apart faster than we think. And I know rebel news is really important right now to have that

00:39:44.560 alternative point of view, to have a, uh, a voice in the media that's not bought and paid for by the

00:39:50.160 government. I don't know if you saw my, uh, message the other day that rebel news and for Canada, I added

00:39:56.000 up the, all the views and the impressions that they got. And it's about 318 million, 318, like a third of a

00:40:03.620 billion almost views and impressions directly from us. That's such a huge number. We really have the

00:40:10.760 same footprint during the campaign as the CBC. I know that's hard to believe, but their own rate card

00:40:15.980 says they have 360 million views and impressions a month. So we're 318 million just to drop behind

00:40:23.560 them. That's why they hate us so much. And that's why we have to keep on fighting. We have to keep

00:40:28.100 journalisming. We have to keep telling the other shot of the story. And you know what I like to do?

00:40:33.220 I like to sometimes drop the gloves and fight often in court. We have to keep doing that too,

00:40:38.420 because I think that Mark Carney is going to try and do some of the things Trudeau has done in the

00:40:42.860 past, including censorship. Anyways, um, I feel energized. I am not going to give into sorrow or

00:40:50.500 despair. I know my role. My role is to lead a little team here to try and serve Canada and our supporters

00:40:59.020 and where appropriate, use our special skills to try and make a difference. That's what I'm going

00:41:03.940 to do. Well, that's our show for today. On behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters to you

00:41:09.500 at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
