Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Will Mark Carney become our next prime minister as Trudeau 2.0？

00:00:00.000 Before I go, I just want to mention one last thing before I let you listen to the podcast.

00:00:04.800 You know, nowadays, it feels like censorship is creeping into every corner of our lives,

00:00:09.660 whether it's the news we access, our posts on social media, or even how we choose to

00:00:14.160 manage our family's wealth.

00:00:16.060 With companies like BlackRock amassing substantial voting power through passive investing, it's

00:00:21.200 up to people like you to take back the power of your investments by working with a firm

00:00:25.360 that shares your values.

00:00:26.600 That's why we have partnered with Rocklink investment partners.

00:00:31.780 Rocklink, with a C at the end, is independent, which means they have the freedom to invest

00:00:38.120 without being influenced by the globalist agenda.

00:00:41.480 They focus on creating portfolios of excellent businesses, not on ESG and DEI or the latest

00:00:47.740 woke trend.

00:00:48.560 Call them at 905-631-5462, or email them at info at rocklink.com.

00:00:56.740 That's Rocklink, with a C, info at rocklink.com.

00:01:01.360 All right, here's today's podcast.

00:01:07.480 Tonight, will Mark Carney become our next prime minister in March without ever having won an

00:01:12.560 election?

00:01:12.920 It's January 13th, and this is the Ed's for LeVant Show.

00:01:19.760 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:31.600 Hi, everybody.

00:01:32.460 I'm filming this monologue on my laptop on Sunday, because on Monday, I'm going to be traveling

00:01:37.720 to Calgary and back.

00:01:38.960 I was just out there on Thursday and Friday.

00:01:41.200 I've been going full tilt.

00:01:42.620 There's no time to record the show tomorrow, so I'm doing it now, but I'll be back on Tuesday.

00:01:47.640 It's incredible how much news there is these days.

00:01:50.100 You know, the Russian communist Vladimir Lenin once said, there are decades where nothing

00:01:55.440 happens, and then there are weeks where decades happen, and even a commie can be right about

00:02:00.780 that.

00:02:01.120 I want to talk to you a bit about Mark Carney, the World Economic Forum, big shot.

00:02:06.000 He left Canada to run the Bank of England, and he's now decided to come back to Canada

00:02:12.380 to favor us with his amazing leadership qualities, and we should be so grateful to him.

00:02:17.420 It feels a little bit like Michael Ignatius.

00:02:19.320 Remember him?

00:02:20.100 The Harvard professor that the liberals tried to run in 2011 against Stephen Harper.

00:02:25.420 He was aloof.

00:02:26.920 He was elitist.

00:02:27.960 He left Canada because he was bigger than he could fit into our country, and he thought

00:02:34.260 he'd come back to us, little people, in favor of leading us.

00:02:37.840 He got crushed in the election, less than 19 percent.

00:02:42.020 The liberal parties were shown since Canada was started.

00:02:45.060 Ignatius lost his own seat mercifully, and of course, he then proceeded to go back to Harvard,

00:02:50.160 and then the Central European University, which is a university paid for and set up by George

00:02:55.800 Soros. 0.78

00:02:56.660 You can't make this up.

00:02:57.880 He really just came back to Canada to see if he could collect us.

00:03:01.640 But I'll give Michael Ignatius credit.

00:03:03.840 At least he ran for an election in a 2006 by-election, and then the 2008 general election.

00:03:10.920 He won, and then, of course, he was thrown out in 2011.

00:03:14.200 Michael Ignatius was wooden, and he was condescending and snobby, but he managed to earn the support

00:03:19.240 of ordinary people in Etobicoke before he was thrust into the top job.

00:03:23.760 He didn't just waft his way into it.

00:03:27.420 And that's what Mark Carney, another master of the universe, wants to do.

00:03:31.400 Mark Carney wants to go straight to the top job in Canada before he even runs for dog catcher.

00:03:38.020 I'll give you the details in a moment, but first, I just have to show you something

00:03:41.560 about a totally different subject that I know you haven't seen if you rely on the mainstream media.

00:03:47.060 So I'm going to take a detour.

00:03:48.400 I will come back to Carney.

00:03:49.520 I just wanted to show you this.

00:03:51.820 You probably heard that half of Los Angeles is on fire, the fancy half, the luxury half,

00:03:56.720 Malibu, Santa Monica, places like that.

00:03:58.840 It's devastating.

00:03:59.840 And the fire department just isn't there.

00:04:01.800 It's not there.

00:04:02.600 And where it is there, there's no water.

00:04:05.180 There's no water in the fire hydrants.

00:04:06.900 There's a massive water reservoir in LA, but it's empty.

00:04:10.400 So these beautiful houses just burned.

00:04:14.620 The biggest fire in Palisades is still 90% out of control.

00:04:18.820 First thing I want to show you is the mayor of LA, Karen Bass.

00:04:22.000 Of course, she's a Democrat. 0.97

00:04:23.160 The whole state is Democrat.

00:04:24.860 Everyone knew there would be a huge fire risk this week because the strong winds were whipping

00:04:28.780 up in LA.

00:04:30.000 But the mayor left the city to fly to Ghana, the country in Africa, right as the fire was

00:04:35.700 starting to spread.

00:04:37.040 What was she doing in Ghana?

00:04:38.160 Some ceremonial visit at the expense of taxpayers.

00:04:42.100 She refused to call off her trip.

00:04:44.100 Who wouldn't want a five-star luxury visit to Africa?

00:04:47.100 Not even as a regular tourist, which could be fun, but as a pretend VIP paid for by taxpayers.

00:04:52.620 She put herself first.

00:04:54.980 Here she is when she was spotted switching planes, finally coming home.

00:04:59.660 A reporter saw her and she doesn't have a single word to say for herself.

00:05:04.020 Take a look at this.

00:05:04.640 Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning?

00:05:09.640 Do you regret cutting the fire department budget by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor?

00:05:15.620 Have you nothing to say today?

00:05:17.240 Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?

00:05:23.880 Elon Musk says that you're utterly incompetent.

00:05:26.620 Are you considering your position?

00:05:31.620 Madam Mayor, have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today who are dealing with

00:05:35.440 this disaster?

00:05:42.660 No apology for them.

00:05:46.820 Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this was unfolding back home?

00:05:50.940 Madam Mayor, let me ask you just again, have you anything to say to the citizens?

00:05:51.940 Yes.

00:05:52.940 Yes.

00:05:53.940 Yes.

00:05:54.940 Yes.

00:05:55.940 Yes.

00:05:56.940 Yes.

00:05:57.940 Yes.

00:05:58.940 Yes.

00:05:59.940 Yes.

00:06:00.940 Yes.

00:06:01.940 Yes.

00:06:02.940 Yes.

00:06:03.940 Yes.

00:06:04.940 Yes.

00:06:05.940 Yes.

00:06:06.940 Yes.

00:06:07.940 Yes.

00:06:08.940 Yes.

00:06:09.940 Yes.

00:06:10.940 Yes.

00:06:11.940 Yes.

00:06:12.940 Yes.

00:06:13.940 Yes.

00:06:14.940 Yes.

00:06:15.940 Yes.

00:06:16.940 Thank you.

00:06:17.940 Yes.

00:06:18.940 Yes.

00:06:19.940 Yes.

00:06:26.940 Yes.

00:06:27.940 Yes.

00:06:28.940 Yes.

00:06:29.940 Yes.

00:06:30.940 Wow.

00:06:32.940 Yes.

00:06:35.940 Yes.

00:06:36.940 Yes.

00:06:36.960 Yes.

00:06:37.960 Yes.

00:06:38.960 Yes.

00:06:39.960 Yes.

00:06:40.960 Yes.

00:06:41.960 Yes.

00:06:42.960 Yes.

00:06:43.040 Yes.

00:06:44.960 she's a Democrat, not just a Democrat, an actual communist. She visited Cuba a half dozen times in

00:06:51.080 the 70s, not as a tourist, as a political ally of the Castro regime. That's similar to New York's

00:06:56.980 former Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio, an actual communist. Same with Bernie Sanders, the senator.

00:07:02.880 You know, he took his honeymoon in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. There really are

00:07:08.140 communists who believe in totalitarianism. They just use democracy as the tool to get power,

00:07:13.660 since they can't quite seize it outright in other ways yet. So that's the mayor. Let me show you the

00:07:20.500 head of water for LA. That's a big job because it's pretty dry down there. Did you know that the head

00:07:26.240 of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Janice Quinones, she has a staff of 11,000 people,

00:07:35.140 and I guess they all just sort of forgot to make sure there was water in the fire hydrants. I'm

00:07:41.840 actually kidding. They didn't forget they knew. They just didn't care. They had other priorities.

00:07:47.320 Coming from the communities that I come, seeing what I've seen through my career in utilities and

00:07:52.360 through the military, I've been in the Coast Guard 19 and a half years now. So I got six more months to

00:07:57.500 qualify for my 20 years, which was my original goal. Wow. Congratulations. And thank you for your

00:08:02.720 service. Thank you. Thank you. It's important to me that everything we do, it's with an equity lens

00:08:09.680 and social justice and making sure that we right the wrongs that we've done in the past from an

00:08:15.320 infrastructure perspective and that we involve the community in that process. And this utility is

00:08:21.320 serious about it, is authentic about it. And so I'm just super excited to be part of that movement.

00:08:29.000 So she makes $750,000 US a year. That's more than a million dollars a year Canadian. She had one job, 1.00

00:08:37.740 water. But they spill the water right out in the ocean for environmentalist reasons.

00:08:42.460 They're now actually destroying dams to do even more of that. It's all in the name of diversity and

00:08:48.680 global warming. And here are the, sorry, the mayor, the head of water. And here are the three women,

00:08:54.760 all named Kristen, who run the fire department in LA and have a huge job. This is a tweet by Charlie

00:09:01.400 Kirk, the conservative activist. I swear, I thought it was a joke. It's not. They're all lesbians named 1.00

00:09:08.560 Kristen. I want to tell you, I don't care about the race or sexuality of firemen or fire women or 0.99

00:09:15.760 fire they, thems, whatever. I just want to know that they can do the job. You know, can you come to 0.99

00:09:22.340 the fire with water? Can you lift someone out of there if they've succumbed to the smoke?

00:09:29.100 But they can't do it. They cannot do it. 750 grand for the water boss who forgot about the water

00:09:34.820 because she was focused on diversity. And then, well, here's one of those top fire people.

00:09:41.980 This is a real video. Take a look.

00:09:43.620 You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it's a medical call

00:09:49.120 or a fire call, that looks like you. It gives that person a little bit more ease, knowing that

00:09:53.900 somebody might understand their situation better. Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn't

00:09:58.700 carry my husband out of a fire? Which my response is, he got himself in the wrong place if I have to

00:10:03.560 carry him out of a fire. You agree with her? Is the most important thing when your house is on fire

00:10:12.500 that the fireman who shows up looks like you? Is that the most important thing? But that doesn't

00:10:17.860 even make sense since every household looks different and they don't match firemen to burning

00:10:23.260 houses by race. That's crazy talk. That's crazy in a whole bunch of different ways. But look at that.

00:10:31.220 She says, if she is not strong enough to save your husband, because she's a diversity hire as a woman,

00:10:37.140 well, what's your husband getting into trouble first in the first place? Why did you go have

00:10:40.120 that stupid fire? Not very smart of you, was it? That was a real interview that she did on purpose. 0.59

00:10:46.720 That was not a gaffe or misspeaking. So you've got the three top fire Christians and the top water boss

00:10:54.220 and the mayor. And every single one of them is focused on everything other than fighting fires,

00:10:58.900 going to Ghana, racial and gender quotas. They actually sent a lot of their firefighting

00:11:04.100 equipment to Ukraine. But the sad thing is most of the people whose homes burned,

00:11:09.840 well, the Democrats, they voted for this. Not all of them, of course, but if you live

00:11:13.380 such a luxury life that imaginary things like woke DEI and global warming posturing

00:11:19.780 are more important to you than the actual safety of your family and your house. Well,

00:11:24.640 I think this is what they call chickens coming home to roost. By the way, it just so happens

00:11:28.540 that Donald Trump called this out a long time ago and was ignored, of course. You see this?

00:11:33.280 You've seen what happened. You've talked about the forest fires. Now we're permitting and cleaning

00:11:38.460 up these forests so it will reduce the threat of forest fire as well as creating jobs in these

00:11:44.020 communities. We're all to do that in California. Yes, sir. California is a mess. We're giving

00:11:49.640 billions and billions of dollars for forest fires in California. There's no reason for those fire

00:11:54.380 fires to be like they are. They're leaving them dirty. It's a disgraceful thing. Old trees are

00:12:02.880 sitting there rotting and dry. And instead of cleaning it up, they don't touch them. They leave

00:12:08.380 them. And we end up with these massive fires that we're paying hundreds of billions of dollars for to

00:12:13.680 fix. And the destruction is incredible. So I think California ought to get their act together and

00:12:19.240 clean up their forests and manage their forests because it's disgraceful. They said, we have no

00:12:24.840 water. I said, do you have a drought? No, we don't have a drought. I said, why don't you have no water?

00:12:29.400 Because the water isn't allowed to flow down. It's got a natural flow from Canada all the way up north

00:12:34.820 of water, more water than they could ever use. And in order to protect a tiny little fish,

00:12:40.800 the water up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of water

00:12:48.620 gets poured. I could have water for all of that land, water for your forests. You know,

00:12:54.360 your forests are dry as a bone. Yeah. Okay. Dangerous. That water could be routed. You know,

00:12:58.800 you could have everything. Not only dangerous, billions of dollars a year they spend on forest

00:13:04.540 fires. And you know, there's a case with the environment. They're not allowed to rake their

00:13:08.420 forest because you're not allowed to touch it. And all they have to do is clean their forest,

00:13:14.240 meaning rake it up, get rid of the leaves, get rid of, you know, leaves that are sitting there

00:13:18.700 for five years. And they'll certainly get rid of the dead fall and get rid of the trees that have

00:13:23.020 fallen. Yeah. You know, it's not just the mayor or the fire chief. It's the governor. It's the whole

00:13:28.740 state of California. If you thought that airport video with the mayor was bad, look at this. The

00:13:33.600 governor, Gavin Newsom, just lying. Governor, you got a second? Governor,

00:13:40.420 governor, I live here, governor. That was my daughter's school, governor. Please tell me what

00:13:45.520 you're going to do. I'm not going to hurt him. I promise. I'm literally talking to the president

00:13:49.220 right now to specifically answer the question of what we can do for you and your daughter.

00:13:54.420 Can I hear it? Can I hear your call? Because I don't believe it.

00:13:57.880 I'm sorry. There's literally, I've tried five times. That's why I'm walking around to make

00:14:03.540 the call. Why is the president not taking your call?

00:14:05.920 Because it's not going through. Why? So I have to get self-service.

00:14:08.660 So let's get it. Let's get it. I want to be here when you call the president.

00:14:11.800 I appreciate it. I'm doing that right now. And it's to immediately get reimbursements,

00:14:16.780 individual assistance, and to help you on with a devastating failure. I'm so sorry,

00:14:20.820 especially for your daughter. I have four kids. Losing the school.

00:14:24.840 Someone who went to school there, they lost their homes. They lost two homes because they

00:14:29.740 were living in one building another. Governor, please tell me, tell me, what are you going

00:14:34.160 to do with the president right now? We're getting, we're getting the resources

00:14:37.320 to help rebuild. Why was there no water in the hydrants, governor?

00:14:41.860 That's all literally. Is it going to be different next time?

00:14:45.000 It has to be. Has to be. Of course. What are you going to do?

00:14:48.440 To fill the hydrants. I would fill them up personally. You know that.

00:14:51.800 I would fill up the hydrants myself. But would you do that?

00:14:57.060 I would do whatever I can. But you're not. I see the, do you know there's water dripping

00:15:01.880 over there, governor? There's water coming out there. You can use it.

00:15:05.660 I appreciate it. I'm going to make the call to address everything I can right now,

00:15:10.180 including making sure people are safe. I'd like to make sure you, can I, can I have

00:15:13.720 an opportunity to at least tell people you're doing what you're saying you're doing?

00:15:16.900 Thank you. Could somebody have a contact? Can I have your contact information right now?

00:15:22.200 You know, they say a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. Do you know what I mean

00:15:25.940 by that? It's easy to be soft on crime when it happens to other people, not so much when

00:15:29.820 it happens to you. That's why San Francisco is political swinging back a little bit.

00:15:34.400 All the tech millionaires can no longer insulate themselves from the disaster on the streets

00:15:38.980 of homeless people and drug addicts and crime.

00:15:41.100 Well, your multimillion dollar house burning down, that's a pretty big moment of being

00:15:45.960 bugged, mugged by reality. I wonder if they're going to still keep voting for all the Christens,

00:15:50.720 though. I just want to mention that because that video of the black lesbian fire chief saying 1.00

00:15:56.380 her job is about race and sex, not about saving lives, it's just the absolute logical conclusion 1.00

00:16:01.740 of DEI. I mean, I'm surprised they're not sending in firefighters in, in wheelchairs. I mean, 1.00

00:16:09.020 why are they so ableist? All right, I just have to show you that crazy video, but back to Canada.

00:16:15.160 By the way, we have the same left-wing fire policies too. Wildfires in Alberta and Jasper

00:16:19.840 this year were made all worse because eco-extremists like Stephen Gilbone refused to cull the forest

00:16:26.400 to remove dead trees that are just fuel waiting for a spark. They slashed firefighting spending,

00:16:32.380 just like the LA liberals. Canada's liberals don't actually know how to do anything.

00:16:36.180 They just know how to do woke. I keep thinking about that one kilometer stretch

00:16:41.760 of the California high-speed train, a hundred billion dollar project, decades late,

00:16:47.280 still not running. They actually were so proud they put out a press release celebrating that

00:16:51.140 disconnected, incomplete, like one kilometer stretch. Did you see that? They're proud of that.

00:16:56.640 I think that's just absolutely perfect. Whatever you think of Donald Trump,

00:17:00.520 the guy actually knows how to build things. I've never met a Democrat or a Canadian liberal who has.

00:17:05.560 All right, let me get back to my real topic today, which is Mark Carney, your next prime minister,

00:17:09.860 if things go as they are. And I think he falls into the category of someone who's never actually

00:17:13.700 done anything, but he's wafted to the top. When Trudeau first announced his resignation,

00:17:19.700 it was vague. He said he'd resign after the party chose his successor, but he didn't say when that would

00:17:25.260 be. And he announced it at the same time that parliament was going to be dissolved until March 24th.

00:17:30.620 And it's shameful that our partisan governor general allowed that. Trudeau wanted parliament

00:17:35.120 dissolved so MPs couldn't vote non-confidence in him. That's his main priority. But of course,

00:17:40.060 it also means parliament cannot meet to discuss or debate or vote on anything else.

00:17:44.940 All the bills in the House of Commons were vaporized. And that's a good thing when it comes

00:17:49.500 to atrocious laws like Bill C-63, the censorship law. But it also means the parliament can't deal with

00:17:56.080 the threat of tariffs from Trump or the real problem, Trump's real point, which is, you know,

00:18:01.780 he wants us to get a stronger border between us, to stop illegal drugs and illegal immigrants.

00:18:06.880 That's one of the worst things that's going on right now. Instead of just saying, sure,

00:18:11.220 we'll stop illegal things at the border. Frankly, we should do that on our own accord.

00:18:16.000 Thanks for giving us a kick in the behind. We're assuming that, no, we're not going to stop

00:18:21.180 illegal drugs or illegal migrants. We'd rather have a showy trade war with Trump because that does 1.00

00:18:26.320 well with the liberal base or something. My point is, the actual problem to solve is the border,

00:18:32.720 not ignore that and prefer a devastating fight over tariffs. Trudeau, of course, won't even talk

00:18:37.700 about this. He's hiding from journalists. His last interaction with Canadian media was on the CBC

00:18:44.080 state broadcaster, their government comedy show called This Hour Has 22 Minutes.

00:18:48.680 Um, you know, not really funny, but of course, they're never going to ask him a question. So

00:18:54.020 it was safe for him. Since then, he's gone on a few U.S. shows. He's gone on CNN and MSNBC. Those

00:19:01.140 are hardcore left wing shows. You go on there when you want a softball interview, not to communicate

00:19:07.340 to Trump and his government. Listen to Trudeau complain about why he resigned. Nothing that he did,

00:19:13.180 just right wing social media. Did you see that? But when you get a con, you know, a, a, a, a,

00:19:20.280 I was going to say conflagration, but at least a, an intersection of, of both, uh, you know,

00:19:27.000 right wing policy, right wing attacks and social media, you end up with a lot of misinformation,

00:19:33.920 disinformation, and responsible governments have to stay focused on the policies that are making a

00:19:38.680 difference. And that's what we've been doing. Yeah. I wonder who he means. Anyways, the liberal

00:19:42.560 leadership race is now on. They have announced that March 9th is when voting ends and the result

00:19:48.880 will be known, but candidates only have until January 23rd to announce their candidacy. That's

00:19:54.260 just 10 days from now. It's a $350,000 entry fee too, by the way, which will discourage some candidates.

00:20:01.120 So it's really compressed, but here's the crazy part. The deadline to register to vote as a member

00:20:09.300 of the party is January 27th. So all the candidates have two weeks to sell memberships by sell. They

00:20:15.980 don't actually cost anything, which I think is crazy. Also, anyone can just sign up as easy as

00:20:20.580 clicking like on Facebook would be. Liberals claim they've tightened it up a little bit until last

00:20:26.700 week. Even foreign nationals could join. I don't think they've done anything to audit existing

00:20:31.980 members who signed up under that rule. For all we know, there are a hundred thousand foreign citizens

00:20:36.460 who will choose the next liberal leader who will immediately become the next prime minister, by the

00:20:40.820 way. It's just as nuts. No money, no, no auditing. You can vote as young as 14 years old. You can join the

00:20:49.600 liberal party at 14 and choose the next prime minister before Canadians have a vote on it in the election.

00:20:56.700 There really is not time to go door to door, is there? It's all going to be online.

00:21:02.060 I bet at the Chinese embassy, they've opened up a special situation room

00:21:07.000 to mobilize people to join, and not just people, fake people, robots, to interfere.

00:21:15.960 Like the CSIS says they did in 2019 and 2021, when they interviewed in at least 11 electoral

00:21:22.480 districts in Canada, now I'm sure China is gaming the whole country online in two weeks. I bet they've

00:21:29.240 got an artificial intelligence, an AI app designed to do this. I mean, they haven't given all the

00:21:37.540 details, but given the compressed time, I'm sure voting will either be online or perhaps by phone.

00:21:43.620 There's no time for snail mail, and obviously nothing's going to be done in person. And since

00:21:48.520 there's no payment, you don't have a credit card, you need a real credit card with a real name. That's

00:21:53.120 a form of ID when you think about it. No credit card necessary. So you just have to type something

00:21:58.640 on a website. You don't think Chinese AI is going to game that? Do you think the Chinese AI can outsmart 1.00

00:22:06.300 the liberal party? Yeah, I'm guessing. In fact, I don't think they have to outsmart the liberal party.

00:22:11.520 I think the liberal party is fine with having the government of China rig the rules. They

00:22:15.980 haven't done anything about the 11 MPs who were elected in Chinese interference districts. We'll

00:22:22.680 see. I mean, I think it really comes down to two big names, Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney. I don't

00:22:27.600 think DC's Chrystia Clark is a serious candidate. Freeland, as you know, has been Trudeau's right-hand

00:22:32.100 woman since the beginning. She was deputy prime minister and really the de facto PM. Trudeau never

00:22:37.340 really did any work. He just schmoozed and did the photo ops and handed the hard parts off to her.

00:22:44.360 I'll give her this. She had a work ethic. I don't think she was particularly bright, but she

00:22:47.960 did the work. When she quit, I think it was astonishing to her whole caucus. I think all

00:22:53.720 the liberal MPs knew that Trudeau really had no clue to do what to do without her. Not that she was

00:22:59.540 clever or popular. She was just essential to the operation. Name any other cabinet minister who

00:23:05.740 you could fairly say did a good job about anything. Stephen Gilbeau, Melanie Jolie. They're all

00:23:13.440 all are Canadian versions of those fire Karens, fire Christens. Hired for some demographic reason,

00:23:21.460 DEI. I mean, imagine Melanie Jolie as prime minister. I don't think anyone can.

00:23:27.620 So Chrystia Freeland will have lots of connections in Canada with MPs in the riding. So give her this. 0.98

00:23:33.060 She is a relentless campaigner who is known throughout the party on the ground. And that

00:23:40.220 would matter if Chinese AI wasn't a part of this. But like I say, it's all going to come down to

00:23:45.000 computerized voting. I mean, right now, she's leading the few opinion polls I've seen. I've seen

00:23:50.200 three polls. She's ahead in all of them, but not by much. Because although she had that one moment of

00:23:55.900 defiance against Trudeau, that comes after nearly 10 years of obedience to Trudeau, she sold every

00:24:03.060 Trudeau policy from the carbon tax to high immigration, to being pro-Hamas, to stripping

00:24:08.180 Sir John A. McDonald off our $10 bill. She owns every liberal scandal. The fact that she is not as

00:24:14.780 hated as Trudeau is simply because he was more ubiquitous than her. He was the top target. She was

00:24:20.500 like the vice president. You know, the worst moment, speaking of vice presidents, in the Kamala Harris

00:24:25.000 campaign, and I think Democrats acknowledge this now, was when she went on The View and was asked if

00:24:33.220 there was any difference between her and Joe Biden. If there was any policy, she would disagree with him

00:24:39.160 on. Remember that? Here's how it was said.

00:24:41.140 Well, if anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past

00:24:49.000 four years? There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of

00:24:56.900 the decisions that have had impact. Listen, I plan on having a Republican in my cabinet.

00:25:01.920 Oh, I got a list. Yes. Right. You asked me what's the difference between Joe Biden and me. Well,

00:25:07.580 that will be one of the differences. I'm going to have a Republican in my cabinet. Because I don't,

00:25:12.040 I don't feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of a good idea. Yeah. Right.

00:25:17.820 She said, no, she thought it would be good for her to take credit for being Joe Biden's mini-me.

00:25:24.640 But to voters, it meant she was complicit in everything he did wrong. Don't do that if Biden

00:25:30.780 is hated. Don't do that if Trudeau is hated. Trudeau is at 16% in the polls. If you are the

00:25:37.320 number one Me Too girl for Trudeau for 10 years, saying you're Trudeau's right-hand woman is not

00:25:44.040 going to help you. So that's Chrystia Freeland. You'd think she's well known, but she's never 0.57

00:25:48.280 really been vetted by the regime media. And she's never really had a hostile media interview in her

00:25:53.240 life. I think she's as off-putting as Kamala Harris was. No cackle, laugh, but plenty of condescension 0.99

00:25:59.800 and words salad. I think she's deeply unlikable. Compare that to Mark Carney. I hear he's going

00:26:06.840 to be announcing his campaign very soon. He looks and sounds good. I hear he's going to be launching

00:26:13.220 in Edmonton, actually, trying to get a small-town feel. He looks and sounds good. It's still

00:26:19.040 artificial, but he's better at it than, I think, Chrystia Freeland. You know, this Oilers jersey

00:26:25.960 picture is a little bit lame and forced. So was his skinning on the canal. I think he's got that 0.99

00:26:31.620 ignatty of stiffness to him. But he's a good talker, is what I mean. Better than Freeland

00:26:36.300 is. She's got kind of Tourette's, I think. Here is Mark Carney last year taking a bit of

00:26:43.920 a shot against Freeland when talking to me. This is Canada. You could have him arrested.

00:26:49.340 Did you see that? Your rival, Chrystia Freeland, had one of our reporters arrested. 0.99

00:26:53.000 I don't think she did. She didn't say a word against it. It was the wrong thing. It was

00:27:00.020 absolutely the wrong thing. Thank you for saying that. Look, freedom of the press. I've been a

00:27:07.860 public figure in Canada, been a public figure in the UK. I know you've got to answer tough

00:27:12.200 questions. And you guys, you know, you ask tough questions and that's fair. So who exactly

00:27:16.360 is Mark Carney? Well, we'll talk more about that tomorrow. He's the consummate World Economic

00:27:21.680 Forum man. He's been on their board, too. But unlike Chrystia Freeland, who is on their board

00:27:27.120 at this moment, Mark Carney has become a master of the universe himself. He's the chair of Brookfield.

00:27:32.860 He's the chair of Bloomberg LLP. These are billion-dollar or trillion-dollar companies. He

00:27:38.580 really is a master of the universe. And like Ignatieff, he seeks to collect Canada as a little

00:27:44.140 bauble. You know, listen to him tell the liberal MP that he knows how the world works. He's one of the

00:27:50.740 high priests. You got to trust them. One of the knocks on me that the opposition makes or part of

00:27:59.280 the opposition. You're a WEF global elite. Exactly. I'm a WEF global elite. John Barrett is too, but I don't

00:28:05.140 know. Campaign coach here. That never comes up. You know, and, you know, when... But yeah, he's banned his

00:28:11.220 ministers from going to World Economic Forum events to cater to conspiracies. And you've been a board

00:28:16.000 member for over a decade. Yeah. Yeah. I've rolled off the board, but that's absolutely right. I had a

00:28:20.640 board member there and I used to go there with the Prime Minister Stephen Harper when, you know,

00:28:24.380 he was there and et cetera. But let's be clear what, you know, my international experience. I understand

00:28:32.320 how the world works. You know, I know other world leaders. I know people and I understand. I know people

00:28:40.820 who run some of the world's largest companies and understand how they work. I know how financial

00:28:45.320 institutions work. I know how markets work. Uh, I know, and I know the good and bad of that. I've

00:28:51.000 experienced it. I've had to, in some of my roles, discipline it, uh, discipline the financial system,

00:28:56.820 discipline with others, the world's largest banks, the, you know, the Wall Street banks in America after

00:29:01.440 the crisis. So I understand how the world works. I'm trying to apply that to the benefit of Canada,

00:29:08.480 you know, so I'm not going to run away from the fact that I understand how things work.

00:29:13.080 Does he really know how the world works though? I mean, he's the world's biggest carbon tax advocate.

00:29:18.360 He's for DEI woke corporate governance in the world of corporate governance. That's called ESG,

00:29:24.900 environmental, social, and governance. He's never lived a normal life. I mean, right out of high

00:29:29.100 school, he went to Harvard and then to Goldman Sachs. And then after working for a bit in the Department

00:29:34.500 of Finance, he became the head of the Bank of Canada. And then he went to become the head of

00:29:39.260 the Bank of England. Now his chief goal has always been to push climate policies and other world

00:29:45.340 economic foreign priorities. He is, I think, accurately called the world's leading carbon tax 0.97

00:29:53.020 advocate. I actually don't think he knows how the world works as in what it's like to be a farmer or a

00:30:00.460 factory worker or a waiter or, or one of 99% of ordinary things. I don't think he knows how to

00:30:07.360 actually do anything. I think he would have run the LA fire department as a woke DEI playground. 0.98

00:30:14.220 I think the thing he knows how to do is to schmooze with CEOs at conferences and how to manipulate

00:30:20.540 numbers on a balance sheet and how to tweak GDP by opening up mass immigration. I think he does know 0.97

00:30:26.580 that. That's the stuff he's an expert at. But I don't think he knows anything about real life,

00:30:30.700 real people, real problems. And the fact that he says he does, and he smears the conservatives down

00:30:36.120 and Pierre Poligniew doesn't. And the fact that he won't take ownership of the Canadian economic

00:30:40.820 disaster, even though he's had an influence on it for years. I mean, remember, he's been Trudeau's

00:30:45.820 economic advisor for months. I think it shows he thinks the way it is that the world economic form is the

00:30:51.840 way the world ought to be. I actually don't think he knows anything about the world.

00:30:56.580 He's anti-populist, of course. He's one of the masters of the universe. I personally think he's

00:31:02.080 the worst possible candidate for the times and for the troubles that our country has right now.

00:31:07.000 I think the whole world, the pendulum is swinging back away from that woke-ism.

00:31:11.820 But here's the thing. There is a very real chance he will win on March 9th. Electronic voting,

00:31:18.420 online voting, anyone could win. And if he does win without a seat, he'll be the first prime

00:31:22.920 minister. Sorry, he'll still be prime minister on March 9th. Even if he doesn't have a seat,

00:31:29.540 you can be the prime minister without a seat in parliament. Trudeau said he's going to resign.

00:31:36.080 It'll be 15 more days until parliament resumes on March 24th. That could be the first time MPs

00:31:43.220 vote non-confidence in him. That's not a lot of time to be a PM. He'll use that time to put his

00:31:49.600 personal stamp on things, to make some appointments, to introduce a cabinet, to make

00:31:56.220 some announcements, to change some policies. But the main point is on March 9th, while parliament

00:32:02.220 is prorogued, if he wins, he will be slipped right into 24 Sussex Drive. No Canadian election

00:32:09.740 with citizens and adults voting. He'll be selected by this bizarre liberal process of children

00:32:16.860 and permanent residents and anyone who can activate a computer account. He'll be selected,

00:32:21.940 not elected. And you know what? I can absolutely imagine Jagmeet Singh being persuaded to give the

00:32:30.380 new guy a chance to continue supporting Carney, propping him up like Jagmeet Singh has propped up

00:32:36.400 Trudeau so many times, until October, when the election is now tentatively scheduled.

00:32:42.320 So, if Carney can negotiate with Jagmeet Singh, and he would give him anything for this,

00:32:50.340 Carney wouldn't just have two weeks as an unelected prime minister. He would have seven

00:32:56.160 months, more than half a year. That's a long time to put your imprint on the world. Mark Carney,

00:33:02.620 the World Economic Forum prime minister, to replace Trudeau and to beat Freeland,

00:33:06.960 themselves World Economic Forum masters.

00:33:09.260 What we are very proud of now is the young generation, like prime minister Trudeau,

00:33:16.440 president of Argentina and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets. So, yesterday I was at a reception

00:33:26.480 for prime minister Trudeau, and I know that half of this cabinet, or even more half of this cabinet,

00:33:38.280 are for our actually young global leaders of the world.

00:33:43.400 My friends, don't be so sure that we're going to be in an election in the spring.

00:33:48.060 I think there is a 50-50 chance we will have

00:33:51.140 prime minister Mark Carney ruling over us without an electoral mandate,

00:33:57.580 without a seat in parliament, for more than half a year first.

00:34:01.520 Let's go to the CTV news clip, because it feels as though the Liberals are actively trying to

00:34:16.700 sabotage anything that Premier Smith is trying to do.

00:34:20.640 Unbelievable.

00:34:21.160 And it goes, I think, to Ezra's theory that the Liberals would much rather campaign against Donald Trump

00:34:27.920 as the economy killer than they would against Polly Ev. 0.57

00:34:33.080 Let's hear from Jolie, because she says everything's on the table, but I'll tell you, sister, it ain't.

00:34:38.700 Stay in your lane, lady. 1.00

00:34:42.300 Anyways, I'll be quiet.

00:34:43.940 These tariffs are applied, as he has threatened them to be, which we don't know the case.

00:34:47.220 He hasn't announced the specifics, but he's saying 25%.

00:34:50.580 I was interviewing six economists, the top six economists, the chief ones for all the big banks the other day.

00:34:57.000 And collectively, they said the hit to the economy, we're looking to the tunes of millions of jobs,

00:35:01.100 you're looking at a 3% contraction, and essentially an immediate recession.

00:35:05.300 So it's in that vein, against that backdrop, I ask you about what retaliation would look like.

00:35:10.140 Is your government prepared to cut off supplies of energy, for example, to the United States?

00:35:16.520 What I can tell you is everything is on the table.

00:35:19.400 And that's the conversation we will have, the Prime Minister, Minister LeBlanc, and myself,

00:35:23.980 with the premiers next week.

00:35:25.580 And that's a conversation also I'll take to Republican senators and key Republican decision makers

00:35:32.080 in Washington next week.

00:35:34.540 Because this is indeed a decision that would be taken by President-elect Trump

00:35:40.500 that would have devastating impacts on Canadians.

00:35:44.720 And so, for those who are watching us right now,

00:35:48.340 it is important to understand that the threat is real.

00:35:52.900 And we're acting on it.

00:35:54.060 Okay, I think that's good.

00:35:54.500 And that's why I'm calling every...

00:35:57.540 Okay, I think that's good.

00:35:59.240 Because she said something completely erroneous there.

00:36:04.140 And Premier Daniel Smith quickly corrected her.

00:36:07.280 So, she basically said everything's on the table, including cutting off the supply of energy

00:36:12.840 to the United States.

00:36:15.340 Energy is not within the federal jurisdiction.

00:36:17.720 So, she thinks that she is going to either outbound tariff, Alberta oil and gas, Saskatchewan oil and gas,

00:36:28.020 or maybe even, what do you guys produce out there?

00:36:32.680 Electricity.

00:36:34.580 Outbound tariff.

00:36:36.680 Ontario electricity.

00:36:38.360 Premier Smith had a quick response to that.

00:36:40.640 It's the last clip there, Olivia Efron, Premier Smith, warning the feds to stay in their lanes.

00:36:49.540 Daniel Smith loves a good lawsuit as much as our boss does.

00:36:55.200 And she's pretty winning against the federal government. 0.56

00:36:58.500 So, let's hear from her.

00:37:00.620 Yesterday, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Jolie talked about,

00:37:04.600 was asked specifically, if in negotiations with Trump, Canada would consider an energy embargo on the United States.

00:37:16.960 And I want to, as leverage, what do you think, what do you make of what she said?

00:37:23.480 Well, first of all, it's oil and gas is owned by the provinces, principally Alberta, and we won't stand for that.

00:37:32.520 And you should never, ever threaten something you cannot do.

00:37:37.980 And I would encourage the minister to look at a map of where Line 5 goes.

00:37:45.240 Line 5 comes down through Michigan to get to Sarnia.

00:37:50.720 And then that feeds the bulk of the supply needed for Ontario and connects with Line 9,

00:37:58.100 which feeds the bulk of the product needed for Quebec.

00:38:01.160 And so, if you cut off that line, you are cutting off Ontario and Quebec.

00:38:07.800 So, I would encourage the ministers to either understand how our integrated pipeline system works

00:38:14.780 and start looking at ways that we would be able to practically respond,

00:38:22.120 because there's no point in making empty threats that cannot be executed on.

00:38:28.200 So, there are other things, I'm sure, that we'll all talk about collectively,

00:38:34.580 but let's just remember how integrated our markets are with the Enbridge system, the TC Energy system,

00:38:41.260 that we have a product going back and forth across the border every single day.

00:38:48.420 And we cannot do anything that harms Canadians in such a substantial way.

00:38:54.680 So, I just don't take that as a credible threat.

00:38:57.240 I'm sure that the U.S. administration won't either.

00:38:59.840 So, we should talk about things that we actually can do as opposed to empty threats.

00:39:04.500 If they were to proceed down that path for some reason, what would be Alberta's response?

00:39:14.120 Well, they will have a national unity crisis on their hands at the same time as having a crisis with our U.S. trade partners.

00:39:22.020 We just won't stand for that.

00:39:23.460 And I don't think Ontarians in Quebec should stand for that as well.

00:39:26.560 They shouldn't be standing by and listening while a federal minister talks about cutting off their energy supply.

00:39:33.880 That's just not on.

00:39:35.180 That makes no sense.

00:39:37.300 You know, Sheila, isn't it wonderful to see an adult in the room who understands the issues,

00:39:43.580 opining honestly about it?

00:39:45.800 And first of all, I just want to go back to Minister Jolie when she begins her response to Vashi Capello's with the phrase,

00:39:54.380 everything is on the table.

00:39:57.980 That phrase, thanks to Sellout Singh, has been completely bastardized because for the last several weeks,

00:40:05.600 he has been stating all the time with his opening remarks, everything is on the table.

00:40:10.860 Well, not everything, because, you know, Sellout Singh isn't going to cast a non-confidence vote against these liberals,

00:40:18.800 which he has proven over and over again.

00:40:21.140 So everything is on the table.

00:40:22.960 It's kind of like when you see a consumer product new and improved.

00:40:26.580 It means nothing anymore.

00:40:29.100 It's neither new and it probably hasn't been improved.

00:40:32.260 But I will say this, Sheila, I think what the premier is getting at,

00:40:36.340 and I totally believe this, if Canada, if the provinces are going to get into a trade or tariff war

00:40:45.520 with the United States of America, we are going to lose and we are going to lose badly.

00:40:52.800 Badly.

00:40:53.560 Yeah.

00:40:54.820 Yeah.

00:40:55.980 Do you think, like listening to Premier Smith talk about energy issues,

00:41:01.780 she is someone who deeply understands the issue right down to where a specific pipeline feeds to

00:41:08.040 and where it goes, where the feedstock goes, and where the refined product goes,

00:41:13.240 or at least the upgraded product goes.

00:41:15.480 She understands the entire supply chain, upstream and downstream, on these pipelines.

00:41:21.920 Do you think Melanie Jolie even knows what line five is,

00:41:25.920 or line nine, or when it was reversed, where it feeds to?

00:41:29.460 She is running her mouth about stuff she doesn't understand,

00:41:34.420 and it's willing, and her actions will devastate Ontario and Quebec. 1.00

00:41:41.260 Can you imagine $2 a liter for gasoline in Ontario coming up

00:41:47.360 because you don't have access to oil and gas through line nine and line five?

00:41:52.200 By the way, where is Doug Ford on this?

00:41:54.920 He should be saying, oh my goodness, Melanie, my friend Melanie, shut your mouth

00:42:00.600 because you're going to cause economic devastation for the people of Ontario and Quebec.

00:42:05.640 Where's the Quebec Premier?

00:42:06.880 Actually, he's not too bad on this issue.

00:42:08.480 But where is he to say, the Feds do not speak for us.

00:42:13.260 They should not consider blocking energy exports to the United States

00:42:16.580 because that will harm Quebecers.

00:42:18.340 Where are these two Premiers on this?

00:42:19.920 Well, first of all, Sheila, to answer your question, yes, I can imagine $2 a liter

00:42:24.660 because we're only about $0.40 away from it right now.

00:42:29.320 Oh, yeah.

00:42:30.480 And secondly, what you said about Daniel Smith knowing the nuance

00:42:36.960 and the nitty-gritty of where pipelines go, where they lead to,

00:42:42.120 and does Melanie Jolie have a scintilla of that knowledge?

00:42:45.620 And this is a fantasy which will never be fulfilled, but wouldn't it be great

00:42:50.060 if a mainstream media reporter put Melanie Jolie on the spot and said,

00:42:55.780 tell us about Line 5.

00:42:58.280 Tell us about, you know...

00:43:00.680 Show me Line 5 on a map, if you wouldn't mind.

00:43:04.360 Yeah.

00:43:04.680 And, oh, you know, wouldn't that be a very awkward moment, so bad it's good,

00:43:13.180 but we'll never see the mainstream media ask those kind of questions, folks,

00:43:17.040 because, you know, that's impolite.

00:43:19.120 We don't want to embarrass black faces, liberals, 1.00

00:43:22.260 well, the ones that are still with the party and still intending to run, that is.

00:43:26.280 Let's go to one more clip on Daniel Smith,

00:43:31.660 where she warns that tariffs are likely to start on January 20th.

00:43:37.480 So in the olden days, Trump, as one of his first jobs in office,

00:43:43.500 approved Canadian pipelines, was like, let's go, let's trade with our friends, the Canadians.

00:43:49.220 This time, he's going to slap tariffs on us.

00:43:53.560 Let's go to this clip.

00:43:54.700 I think we need to be prepared that tariffs are coming.

00:43:58.760 That seems to me to...

00:44:00.800 I mean, I think we've all seen the biggest irritant to the United States

00:44:06.040 are trade deficits, which they believe they have.

00:44:09.900 I don't actually believe they have a trade deficit.

00:44:12.700 When you take out energy,

00:44:14.600 we actually buy more goods and services from the U.S. than they buy from us.

00:44:19.460 I'm happy to make this national bank report available to anyone who wants it

00:44:24.400 that shows we actually have $58 billion in a trade deficit with the Americans when you take energy out.

00:44:30.460 That's why I wanted to have the assurance that the Americans are interested in getting more of our oil and gas,

00:44:37.160 because I think oil and gas is going to be key to being able to get a breakthrough once tariffs do come in, in getting them off.

00:44:45.720 I think if we maintain a strong partnership on energy,

00:44:49.180 we make the case about how much the Americans benefit from that energy relationship.

00:44:53.700 We demonstrate that we are a good trade partner,

00:44:56.580 that we buy more goods and services from America than any other nation,

00:45:02.140 and that we do buy more goods and services when you take energy out.

00:45:05.440 I think we can make that case.

00:45:07.140 But I feel like from what I have seen,

00:45:10.540 that it's not my decision to make on tariffs,

00:45:12.940 but we do need to be preparing ourselves for the fact that they're likely to come in on January 20th.

00:45:19.900 You know, Sheila, I mean, I want to defer to your knowledge because you live out in oil patch country

00:45:27.240 and your husband is in the oil patch.

00:45:31.560 What I would be concerned about if I was a premier of an energy province,

00:45:37.260 like Premier Smith is with Alberta,

00:45:39.840 is that we know in the first mandate of Donald Trump,

00:45:44.160 for the first time in 70 years,

00:45:46.920 he made the United States energy independent.

00:45:51.720 In fact, it was exporting energy thanks to the miracle of fracking.

00:45:56.220 So I'm just wondering, you know,

00:45:58.080 when Daniel Smith says $58 billion trade deficit with Americans,

00:46:02.300 once you take energy out of the equation,

00:46:05.080 given that the fracking miracle,

00:46:07.520 it's going to be peddled to the metal.

00:46:09.460 Is that the wild card here in terms of the U.S.

00:46:14.220 not needing Canadian oil and gas exports?

00:46:17.920 You know, that, I think, is something that we will eventually have to deal with.

00:46:22.600 And a federal government with foresight would have been working on that for the last 10 years,

00:46:28.460 the way Stephen Harper tried to do that before he was voted out of office.

00:46:34.440 We had Northern Gateway, we had Energy East, Keystone XL.

00:46:38.860 These were all pipelines that the Harper government was fighting for.

00:46:43.320 It's also a reason why we should have listened to Japan 0.97

00:46:47.680 when they pleaded for Canadian liquefied natural gas now twice.

00:46:52.240 Instead, Justin Trudeau has told these countries that are coming to Canada saying,

00:46:56.420 please, if you wouldn't mind, sell us all your bountiful natural gas

00:47:00.980 so that we don't have to rely on Gazprom and fuel the Russian war machine.

00:47:05.540 But he has said that there's no business case, if you can imagine that,

00:47:09.260 for these trillion-dollar projects.

00:47:11.760 Yeah, trillion with a T.

00:47:13.680 No business case.

00:47:15.220 Maybe Justin Trudeau doesn't know what a trillion is.

00:47:18.500 Well, it's because the benefits of that business

00:47:22.900 would land squarely in the laps of Westerners, 0.94

00:47:24.940 and you just can't have that.

00:47:26.640 But it is something that we will have to deal with.

00:47:28.820 But for now, like I said,

00:47:30.440 the Americans are buying Canadian oil and gas

00:47:33.900 at a reduced price

00:47:36.600 because we are in a monopoly with them.

00:47:38.780 So we can't get world market prices for our oil and gas

00:47:42.600 thanks to Justin Trudeau.

00:47:43.980 So while it is a hindrance to Westerners,

00:47:46.680 normally it is a good bargaining chip

00:47:50.060 with the Americans that they can buy Canadian oil and gas

00:47:53.540 for cheaper than what they can produce it there for themselves.

00:47:57.740 But that will change,

00:47:59.700 especially with a pro-energy president

00:48:02.420 being sworn in on January 20th.

00:48:04.880 So one of the first things that

00:48:06.400 Pierre Polyev has to do when he is

00:48:09.100 thankfully, finally, prime minister

00:48:11.920 is to get going on export pipelines

00:48:14.040 to get us out of that monopoly with the Americans. 0.78

00:48:16.420 Let's get to Mark Holland

00:48:17.480 and then we'll do the Christy Clark nonsense.

00:48:21.440 Mark Holland,

00:48:22.800 who makes watching boring committee meetings exciting

00:48:28.260 because he gets so heated and indignant

00:48:31.320 that his stupid little bow tie

00:48:33.540 is going to pop right off his neck

00:48:35.680 and his head's going to fly off like a dandelion.

00:48:38.580 Anyways, he said there's no need

00:48:42.820 for an election until October.

00:48:45.960 So like I said last week,

00:48:47.660 these liberals are going to rag the puck 0.95

00:48:49.240 as long as they can

00:48:50.460 and they are going to have the full cooperation

00:48:53.140 with the NDP.

00:48:55.760 They're rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

00:48:58.940 I think it's going to be a Mark Carney coronation

00:49:01.120 and Christy Clark is helping that along.

00:49:05.020 But I think that's what's going to happen.

00:49:07.420 These guys are going to dodge a confidence vote.

00:49:09.680 The NDP are not going to help bring down the government

00:49:11.700 and it's going to be October.

00:49:13.780 I'm sure of it.

00:49:15.280 Anyways, let's listen.

00:49:16.740 You know, we elect parliament for four years.

00:49:19.380 Everybody's, you know, let's have an election.

00:49:20.800 Let's have an election.

00:49:21.280 Why?

00:49:21.980 Like every four years you get a election.

00:49:23.700 We mean why?

00:49:24.500 Democracy is not going anywhere, folks.

00:49:26.200 Like there's going to be an election.

00:49:27.500 But we got stuff we got to get done.

00:49:29.960 And I certainly, if I was a constituent

00:49:32.540 and somebody who cared about healthcare,

00:49:33.940 I'd be talking to my MPs and say,

00:49:35.500 like really you're going to cause an election

00:49:37.800 in May or June instead of October

00:49:40.680 because what?

00:49:41.520 You think it's better?

00:49:42.480 You might win more seats, right?

00:49:44.860 That's your calculus?

00:49:45.880 That it's better for your party

00:49:47.420 to have an election now?

00:49:48.740 Like we have a set election day.

00:49:50.680 Shouldn't we use the set election day?

00:49:53.220 Shouldn't we use the time we're given

00:49:55.000 as parliamentarians to get things done?

00:49:57.120 And I can tell you if I'm given to October,

00:49:58.940 I'll get all the pharmacare deals done.

00:50:00.480 I believe that.

00:50:01.180 Now, Jeremy's sitting next to me.

00:50:02.280 He can disagree.

00:50:02.760 And that'd be totally fair, right?

00:50:04.260 Because I got work to do

00:50:05.060 and I don't want to put him

00:50:05.740 in an awkward position.

00:50:06.580 But I really believe in this.

00:50:07.760 I don't believe in it because I'm a liberal.

00:50:09.140 I believe in it because I'm a Canadian.

00:50:11.040 Because I think it's the right damn thing to do.

00:50:13.640 And so I think having that time is important.

00:50:17.420 And I'm hopeful that it's there,

00:50:18.860 but I'll make use of any time I'm given.

00:50:21.720 Sheila, correct me if I'm wrong.

00:50:24.780 Mr. I'm all for set election dates.

00:50:27.720 Um, why did we go to the polls in 2021 again?

00:50:32.220 No, wait, it's even better.

00:50:34.120 Mr. I'm in favor of fixed election dates.

00:50:36.060 We go to election every four years, okay?

00:50:38.400 Why would you go to an election

00:50:39.580 when it's good for your party to win more seats?

00:50:42.540 That's exactly what he did in 2021.

00:50:44.440 But this is the government

00:50:46.080 that just moved the fixed election date

00:50:47.880 by one week to make sure these jerks 0.73

00:50:49.900 get their pensions.

00:50:51.760 So, like, when they were moving

00:50:54.000 the fixed election date

00:50:55.240 and claiming that it was Diwali

00:50:57.480 for the reason that they had to move it,

00:51:00.180 then it was fine to move fixed election dates,

00:51:02.720 but not now.

00:51:04.180 But also, he's signaling to the NDP,

00:51:08.320 don't bring us down

00:51:10.060 or you won't get your pharmacare deal.

00:51:12.820 Because that is the only thing

00:51:14.320 the NDP have been asking for

00:51:16.700 is this stupid national pharmacare deal.

00:51:19.560 And he's saying, don't bring us down

00:51:21.780 or you're not going to get your pharmacare deal.

00:51:23.200 It's going to die

00:51:24.080 when you bring down the government

00:51:25.000 because the Conservatives

00:51:25.760 are not going to do this.

00:51:27.100 So, that was not a message

00:51:28.980 for you and me

00:51:30.300 and the rest of the Canadian voters.

00:51:32.060 That was a message for Jagmeet Singh

00:51:33.700 saying, fall in line,

00:51:35.040 you'll get your pharmacare deal.

00:51:36.440 But I thought everything was on the table.

00:51:39.520 No, nothing.

00:51:40.760 Okay, let's go to Aaron O'Toole.

00:51:43.000 Oh, no.

00:51:44.740 Please.

00:51:45.660 From nuggets to O'Toole, fire away.

00:51:47.920 Yeah, speaking of no nuggets.

00:51:49.920 I knew you'd like that, David.

00:51:56.300 Okay, so Aaron O'Toole,

00:51:57.740 former leader of the Conservative Party,

00:52:00.200 former member of Canada's military, in fact.

00:52:04.440 Anita Anand is deciding

00:52:07.160 that she is not going to run

00:52:10.620 for the Liberal Party leadership.

00:52:13.420 So, is David dying?

00:52:16.460 Sorry.

00:52:20.120 Oh, goodness.

00:52:21.180 Can we cut David's mic

00:52:22.180 so we don't have to hear him retching for life?

00:52:25.580 Are you okay?

00:52:27.240 Okay.

00:52:28.180 It's one of those, you know,

00:52:30.820 the Danny Thomas line,

00:52:32.360 my uncle from Cleveland's in town,

00:52:34.020 where, you know,

00:52:34.620 in the midst of a sip

00:52:35.960 and just hearing you read O'Toole's tweet again,

00:52:40.280 it just triggered me all over again.

00:52:42.060 I apologize to you, Sheila and Efren

00:52:44.420 and our viewers, but continue, Khaleesi.

00:52:47.300 It gives me a little bit of a touch

00:52:49.500 of the dry heave, too.

00:52:51.580 So, she's decided that she is not going to run

00:52:54.520 for the Liberal Party leadership.

00:52:56.640 They're all doing this sort of performative nonsense

00:52:59.160 where they're saying that they have discussed

00:53:01.920 a potential leadership run

00:53:05.160 with their friends and their allies

00:53:06.460 and their supporters,

00:53:07.200 but they have decided

00:53:08.820 that it is just going to be

00:53:11.300 just too much of a burden on them

00:53:14.000 and they would like to thank you

00:53:15.180 for the support

00:53:15.800 that you actually didn't give them,

00:53:17.500 their imaginary support.

00:53:18.580 And so, they're all issuing

00:53:19.440 these very bizarre letters.

00:53:23.120 Now, Anand was, of course,

00:53:24.600 at defense

00:53:26.520 and Aaron O'Toole weighs in

00:53:29.660 and says,

00:53:30.980 I saw the dedication

00:53:31.880 that Anita Anand brought

00:53:33.560 to national defense

00:53:34.880 at a time

00:53:36.520 when it was desperately needed.

00:53:38.400 She cared deeply

00:53:39.580 about the CAF,

00:53:40.740 their families,

00:53:41.460 and the need for Canada

00:53:42.340 to do more.

00:53:43.040 I wish her fair winds

00:53:44.820 and following seas.

00:53:48.840 What the heck is he talking about?

00:53:52.080 She gave the military 0.89

00:53:53.960 a crisis of recruitment,

00:53:55.780 a crisis of retention,

00:53:57.340 and tampons in the men's room.

00:53:59.320 That's what she did.

00:54:00.840 She gave us soldiers using food banks.

00:54:04.120 That's what she did.

00:54:05.260 So, she might have cared deeply,

00:54:07.420 but I don't think she did a damn thing

00:54:09.040 for the military.

00:54:09.860 And it is going,

00:54:11.080 she was part of the current decade 0.56

00:54:12.720 of darkness

00:54:13.420 that's happening

00:54:15.660 in the Canadian military.

00:54:17.720 And it's just a disgrace

00:54:18.820 that Aaron O'Toole

00:54:20.000 would say those sorts of things.

00:54:21.580 So, Sheila,

00:54:22.080 the question arises then,

00:54:23.280 is Aaron O'Toole

00:54:24.480 a closet woke liberal

00:54:27.360 or is he mentally ill?

00:54:29.920 I don't know.

00:54:31.000 I mean, I think back,

00:54:32.140 was it last January

00:54:33.100 or the one before,

00:54:34.060 the very first essay

00:54:35.340 he put out there,

00:54:36.780 which had him mocked

00:54:39.260 savagely,

00:54:41.080 was he was campaigning

00:54:42.660 against those F Trudeau flags?

00:54:45.300 Yeah.

00:54:45.600 Yeah, you know what?

00:54:46.760 Because even though

00:54:48.940 the whole country has,

00:54:50.800 well, I won't go there,

00:54:52.220 but has been hard done by,

00:54:55.080 shall we say,

00:54:56.080 Justin Trudeau,

00:54:57.860 Aaron O'Toole thought

00:54:59.340 this was a little vulgar,

00:55:01.300 this was a little too risque.

00:55:03.480 I mean,

00:55:04.680 what was this guy doing

00:55:06.440 in the Conservative Party

00:55:07.820 in the first place?

00:55:10.100 Like I said,

00:55:11.080 if you are happy

00:55:13.140 that Aaron O'Toole

00:55:14.600 is no longer leading

00:55:16.680 the Conservative Party of Canada,

00:55:18.640 stop a trucker today

00:55:19.840 and thank them.

00:55:21.240 Yep.

00:55:21.440 Because if it were not for

00:55:23.240 the Freedom Convoy

00:55:24.660 and Aaron O'Toole's inability

00:55:26.760 to see that the parade

00:55:28.140 was marching

00:55:28.760 and jump in front of it

00:55:30.180 and lead it,

00:55:31.520 he would still be the leader

00:55:33.560 and Justin Trudeau

00:55:34.960 would still be miles high

00:55:38.240 in the polls

00:55:39.440 because the Conservatives

00:55:40.580 were not bringing

00:55:41.400 something decent

00:55:42.820 to the table

00:55:43.600 as an alternative.

00:55:44.940 So thank you,

00:55:45.720 Trucker,

00:55:46.180 for Pierre Polyev.

00:55:47.260 That is an excellent point

00:55:48.800 and it is my rebuttal

00:55:50.240 to those lefties

00:55:51.600 that say,

00:55:52.620 oh, you and your

00:55:53.480 so-called Freedom Convoy,

00:55:55.740 they always put it

00:55:56.560 in their quotes,

00:55:57.660 you know,

00:55:58.040 three weeks of making

00:55:59.440 our life miserable

00:56:00.440 in Ottawa

00:56:00.920 and what did you accomplish?

00:56:02.260 What did you accomplish?

00:56:03.200 And I go,

00:56:04.200 what you just said.

00:56:05.480 We got rid,

00:56:06.600 we took out

00:56:07.480 the fake trash,

00:56:09.860 we took out

00:56:10.800 Aaron O'Toole,

00:56:12.000 the fake conservative,

00:56:13.540 the real,

00:56:14.140 dyed-in-the-wool,

00:56:15.100 woke liberal.

00:56:16.020 That happened

00:56:16.920 exactly like you said

00:56:18.340 because of his,

00:56:19.540 you know,

00:56:20.980 despicable performance

00:56:22.600 in trying to have it

00:56:23.860 both ways.

00:56:24.780 So yeah,

00:56:25.480 that is at least

00:56:26.780 one tangible

00:56:28.220 thing that happened

00:56:30.320 and you know what?

00:56:31.060 And it's no small thing.

00:56:31.940 It's no small thing

00:56:33.380 and if that's

00:56:34.300 the only thing,

00:56:35.080 it was worth it.

00:56:37.080 Well,

00:56:37.840 thread the needle. 0.95

00:56:39.080 Yeah.

00:56:39.860 Convoy gets rid of

00:56:41.340 Aaron O'Toole.

00:56:42.620 That gives us

00:56:43.600 Pierre Polyev.

00:56:44.940 Polyev actually

00:56:45.940 is a conservative alternative

00:56:47.220 to Prime Minister

00:56:48.280 Cheston Trudeau.

00:56:50.000 Polyev does this

00:56:51.000 in the polls.

00:56:52.380 Trudeau does this.

00:56:53.600 Trudeau resigns.

00:56:54.740 You can thread the needle

00:56:55.720 all the way back

00:56:56.420 to the Freedom Convoy.

00:56:57.500 All the way back.

00:56:58.640 And she let us

00:57:00.420 never forget

00:57:01.200 instead of

00:57:02.600 going out

00:57:03.880 on a path

00:57:05.520 of glory,

00:57:06.900 he meandered down

00:57:08.300 a cobblestone road

00:57:10.780 of,

00:57:12.260 well,

00:57:12.600 I guess,

00:57:13.260 decrepitude

00:57:13.960 with Aaron O'Toole

00:57:15.860 going to the House

00:57:17.480 to his fellow conservatives.

00:57:19.320 I'll be what you want me to be.

00:57:21.700 Just give me another chance,

00:57:23.300 man.

00:57:23.920 Please.

00:57:24.820 It was,

00:57:26.440 I couldn't even bear

00:57:27.760 to watch it.

00:57:28.520 It was so awkward.

00:57:32.160 Also,

00:57:33.340 I have another big problem

00:57:34.980 with Aaron O'Toole

00:57:35.780 and that's who he decides

00:57:37.060 to talk to.

00:57:38.200 He will not talk to

00:57:39.380 conservative independent media.

00:57:41.040 He would sooner

00:57:41.660 have them arrested,

00:57:43.220 much like a liberal.

00:57:45.100 He will go on the podcast

00:57:46.800 of Nate Erskine-Smith,

00:57:48.520 the vegan behind

00:57:49.280 the pandemic bill,

00:57:50.800 before he would talk

00:57:51.960 to anybody

00:57:52.560 from Rebel News.

00:57:53.520 It's an absolute disgrace.

00:57:55.260 That guy deserves

00:57:56.160 to be in the dustbin

00:57:57.220 of history

00:57:57.760 and he's putting himself there.

00:57:59.720 But, but, but, but, but,

00:58:00.320 wait one second, Sheila.

00:58:02.160 You forgot something.

00:58:03.480 It's the chronology.

00:58:05.180 He was more than happy

00:58:07.080 to speak to Rebel News

00:58:08.940 and take part

00:58:10.100 in the independent

00:58:11.300 press gallery debate.

00:58:13.160 Remember that?

00:58:14.320 Yeah.

00:58:14.740 When he wasn't yet

00:58:16.040 the leader.

00:58:17.200 Right.

00:58:17.340 But once he became

00:58:18.500 the leader,

00:58:19.720 the mask came off.

00:58:22.100 Yeah.

00:58:22.720 Andrew Scheer

00:58:23.480 is a little bit

00:58:24.020 like that too.

00:58:24.620 I should tell you

00:58:26.020 that Aaron O'Toole

00:58:27.900 is getting roasted

00:58:28.860 by even

00:58:30.220 Conservative Party members.

00:58:32.000 So I know Jenny Byrne

00:58:32.980 just absolutely

00:58:33.700 roasted him for that.

00:58:34.900 She's been great lately.

00:58:36.260 I love her

00:58:36.980 during the campaign period.

00:58:39.020 She is just

00:58:40.300 fierce and funny.

00:58:42.600 But Todd Doherty,

00:58:44.220 Conservative MP,

00:58:46.200 he's really good

00:58:47.100 on the issue

00:58:48.020 of addictions

00:58:48.980 and drug treatment.

00:58:50.920 He's the Conservative MP

00:58:52.160 for Caribou Prince George,

00:58:53.560 one of the most

00:58:54.380 Conservative places

00:58:55.100 in the country.

00:58:56.140 This is so funny.

00:58:57.080 He says,

00:58:57.520 like Christy Clark,

00:58:58.840 Aaron O'Toole

00:58:59.480 also bought

00:59:00.180 a Conservative Party membership

00:59:01.620 and pretended to be

00:59:02.880 a Conservative.

00:59:04.560 Just stop.

00:59:06.840 They sat in caucus together.

00:59:08.420 So that's beautiful.

00:59:09.300 I just,

00:59:09.960 good job, Todd.

00:59:10.600 Wow.

00:59:12.080 Wow.

00:59:13.160 Et tu brute.

00:59:15.100 Ew, good.

00:59:16.120 Just, Todd,

00:59:17.060 if you're watching,

00:59:18.360 amazing.

00:59:19.180 Thank you.
