Rebel News Podcast - It’s finally election night in Canada — “What a disaster”

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. This is the last podcast I'm doing before we know the results of Canada's

00:00:04.880 election. And I sort of sum up what I think the main characteristics of this election campaign

00:00:11.400 were. I don't really make a prediction of how I think it's going to go, other than I think it's

00:00:16.580 going to be a liberal minority. I'll get out of the way in a second, but can I invite you to go

00:00:21.400 to premium.rebelnews.com and become a subscriber? You get the video version of the show, of the

00:00:27.980 podcast. I think it's worth it. I think we show a lot of interesting things. I know you're probably

00:00:33.300 listening to this podcast in a venue that you can't watch, but for when you're at home, I think

00:00:38.540 it's a great thing to see. And even if you don't really use it, it's a great way to support us.

00:00:43.580 It's only eight bucks a month. So please go to premium.rebelnews.com. Thanks. Here's the podcast.

00:00:57.980 Tonight, it's finally election night in Canada. What a disaster. It's October 21st, and this is

00:01:10.340 the Ezra Levant Show. Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:17.180 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to say to the

00:01:22.800 government, but why I publish it? It's because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:32.220 Hello, my friends. It's election night. We post this video to the internet at 8 p.m. Eastern time,

00:01:38.160 which is just before the results start coming in. So instead of preparing a lengthy show that will

00:01:42.460 immediately become obsolete, I'd like to invite you to join me, Sheila Gunn-Reed, Kian Bextie,

00:01:47.900 and David Menzies for our live election night coverage. Just hop over to our YouTube channel

00:01:54.220 or our main page at rebelnews.com, and we will start that at 9 p.m. Eastern, just 7 p.m. Mountain

00:02:00.780 Time, 6 p.m. Pacific Time. Kian and I will be right here in our Toronto studio, and Sheila will be at the

00:02:08.800 Conservative Election Night event in Saskatchewan, unless they handcuff her like they did to David. 0.96

00:02:13.640 And David himself will be at the People's Party Headquarters near Quebec City in Maxime Bernier's

00:02:20.000 riding. We might try to, yeah, we might try and smuggle someone in the Liberal Party Headquarters,

00:02:25.880 but who knows? They might shoot him, judging by their antics. But seriously, though, I think it's

00:02:31.120 going to be a great show tonight. We did this in the springtime on the night of Alberta's provincial

00:02:36.100 election. It was a huge success with our viewers. We actually got more viewers that night than other

00:02:40.680 legacy media networks did, including the CBC's live stream. I mean, seriously, who on earth would

00:02:46.180 watch the CBC for what's happening in Alberta? But I think the same thing applies to this national

00:02:52.140 election. I've always told you that the CBC is untrustworthy, biased, in the tank for the Liberals.

00:02:58.520 I've shown you evidence like Rosemary Barton literally taking personal selfies with Justin Trudeau for her

00:03:04.240 little hope chest that she hides under her bed, and then getting her dreams to come true one day on

00:03:09.260 The Bachelorette, or whatever this video embarrassment was all about.

00:03:14.000 Last book you've read, or the book you're reading?

00:03:17.920 The...

00:03:18.760 Just finished

00:03:20.880 The Patch, which was Chris Turner's

00:03:25.160 history of the oil patch. But I'm

00:03:29.440 also about to start

00:03:31.300 the new Ken Follett, the third book that is the sequel to Pillars of the Earth.

00:03:39.260 That's your nerdy side.

00:03:40.920 No, that's my...

00:03:42.920 Your sci-fi nerdy side.

00:03:43.920 No, no, it's not sci-fi. It's just a sweeping historical epic, I'm sure, but I haven't started it yet.

00:03:50.040 What kind of music are you listening to right now? If you have time? Or podcasts? Podcasts?

00:03:55.660 No, I don't. I've tried. I run regularly, and I've tried to do the podcast thing, but it hasn't really...

00:04:02.660 It doesn't really say... I don't like people talking in my ears when I'm trying to run. I like to sort of vibe out.

00:04:07.960 Are you a generous lover?

00:04:12.540 I tell you, that was not a journalistic interview.

00:04:16.700 That was a first date, maybe second date.

00:04:19.700 Are we going to kiss?

00:04:22.460 Well, Rose McBarton officially tied the knot. 1.00

00:04:25.700 If not with Trudeau, with the liberals.

00:04:28.240 And literally filed a lawsuit against the Conservative Party

00:04:31.380 right in the middle of the campaign with Barton herself as a named plaintiff.

00:04:35.020 That is insane. That is unheard of. That is unprecedented.

00:04:37.340 And it's a nuisance suit. It's a slap suit, as they call it.

00:04:41.140 Strategic litigation against public participation.

00:04:44.660 But they're absolutely unrepentant about it.

00:04:47.140 Did you see this clip?

00:04:48.440 We just wanted to ask you a few questions about your lawsuit with the CPC.

00:04:53.480 So, we issued a statement today, which I'm happy to share with you if you don't already have it.

00:04:59.100 I think I do.

00:05:00.300 It's a comprehensive statement, and it takes you through why we took the action that we did.

00:05:07.340 But beyond that, we really aren't going to comment any further until after the election.

00:05:12.080 And that's what we've said to all media that have asked us to comment further beyond the statement.

00:05:17.960 That would have made sense to wait until after the election so that it didn't compromise your guys' coverage of the election,

00:05:23.240 and especially your journalist, Rosemary Barton.

00:05:24.880 My heart goes out to her.

00:05:25.940 I'm not sure if she was aware of this beforehand.

00:05:28.140 Was she aware of it before?

00:05:30.100 Because it doesn't say in here.

00:05:31.120 I've already read it.

00:05:31.480 Yeah.

00:05:31.840 So, in the statement, that's as much as we have to say about it.

00:05:35.400 It is a comprehensive statement.

00:05:36.980 And, as I said to you, we're really not going to add more to it until after the election.

00:05:43.020 Well, I commend you for doing that.

00:05:44.820 I wish that you'd done that before, because now I can't watch the CBC and believe that you guys are nonpartisan,

00:05:50.100 because it's really an outstanding thing to sue a political party in the middle of an election.

00:05:55.420 Don't you think that that is just—who okayed that?

00:05:58.300 Was it Catherine Tate herself?

00:05:59.260 Well, if you read in the statement, we took the same action in 2015 with the Broadband Institute, as well as the Conservatives.

00:06:08.060 But, as I say, it's all in the statement, and honestly, that's as much as I or anyone else has to say.

00:06:12.320 I get that.

00:06:13.160 Nirmala Nadeau, Calgary Skyview, actually has an ad up right now with CBC footage.

00:06:18.680 Are you going to be suing her as well?

00:06:20.360 We send out cease and desist letters whenever anything's brought to our attention, where we have to take that action.

00:06:27.740 Great.

00:06:28.000 I'll send you that clip.

00:06:29.640 And we'll look forward to that cease and desist.

00:06:32.800 I love the fact that Kian was right in the belly of the beast there. 1.00

00:06:35.860 But, look, you just can't get any lower than the Canadian media, at least the bought-and-paid-for rented media.

00:06:42.220 I repeat again, how they all had their own images, their own proof that Trudeau was in blackface,

00:06:49.520 but none of them had published any of those images until an American media outlet, Time Magazine, broke the conspiracy of silence.

00:06:56.540 To me, that's the perfect proof of it all.

00:06:59.260 They all knew about the biggest scandal of the campaign.

00:07:01.080 They all decided to keep it a secret for their boyfriend, Trudeau.

00:07:04.640 But they, I mean, the CBC, CTV, Global, all of them, only once someone from a foreign country, not on the Trudeau payroll, not with a first-date crush on Trudeau,

00:07:14.020 only once a foreigner broke the silence.

00:07:17.400 They all quickly rushed to publish.

00:07:19.480 Same with the news that Captain Carbon Tax was actually using not one but two campaign jets.

00:07:26.120 This Trudeau selfie girl, Althea Raj, on the left there, actually tweeted that everyone knew about it.

00:07:34.260 What's the big deal?

00:07:35.280 This was not a secret, as in everyone in the media party knew about it.

00:07:38.700 None of them bothered to report it to the little people, because why trouble us with such trifling details? 0.99

00:07:44.220 So I think the number one story of this campaign was actually the total failure of the media, a planned failure,

00:07:49.340 because Trudeau bought or rented just about every journalist.

00:07:52.500 In fact, that was the question for which Andrew Scheer had David Menzies arrested.

00:07:56.860 What exactly happened? Why are you in handcuffs?

00:08:00.140 Well, I was trying to get Andrew Scheer to answer a question, some questions, such as if he's elected, will he end this media bailout?

00:08:09.600 Will he privatize the CBC?

00:08:11.760 What are his, you know, why are we not allowed into a press conference?

00:08:17.080 And other members are.

00:08:19.640 These are not gotcha questions, you know.

00:08:22.100 These are, I think, we're owed an answer to this, especially when we're escorted out.

00:08:27.100 And now look at this guy's, handcuffed.

00:08:30.660 I think the lowest point in some ways was when the media party, in collusion with Trudeau's handpicked debates commission,

00:08:37.240 told us, the rebel, we weren't welcome to attend the leaders' debates, but three reporters from Al Jazeera were.

00:08:43.980 As you know, we went to court along with True North, that's Candace Malcolm and Andrew Lawton,

00:08:48.080 and actually got the federal court to issue an emergency injunction, forcing the media party to let us in.

00:08:53.640 And if you can believe us, here's the journalists who were let in.

00:08:56.620 More than 80 from the CBC.

00:08:59.120 Lots of foreigners, but we were banned.

00:09:02.660 By the way, once we were finally allowed in, we put more questions to Justin Trudeau than any other media party company,

00:09:09.540 including the CBC or CTV.

00:09:11.780 Just great questions.

00:09:12.680 Let me show you some of the questions that Kian asked.

00:09:17.260 I'll skip Trudeau's answers because he didn't answer anything.

00:09:20.440 It was great to put the questions to him.

00:09:22.040 David was in there, David Menzies and Kian Bexley.

00:09:24.360 Here's a mash-up of all of our questions.

00:09:27.120 Hi, Mr. Trudeau.

00:09:28.000 Since your multiple use of blackface became an international scandal,

00:09:32.340 Canada's international reputation has been irreparably harmed.

00:09:36.960 Have you reached out to any African leaders or any leaders from the Middle East to apologize for your conduct?

00:09:42.100 So that didn't answer the question at all.

00:09:44.200 Have you spoken to any African leaders or leaders from the Middle East to apologize for your personal conduct?

00:09:50.240 Kian RNN, have you, your campaign, or any other agents secured non-disclosure agreements from anyone about inappropriate sexual personal conduct?

00:09:59.400 Follow-up.

00:09:59.980 The 2001 yearbook from West Point Grey Academy says that you and convicted sex offender Christopher Ingvoldson made a young student's, quote,

00:10:08.300 life at WPGA a lot more interesting slash amusing, end quote.

00:10:12.640 How did you two keep her amused? 1.00

00:10:14.360 David Menzies, Rebel News.

00:10:16.160 Mr. Prime Minister, you left the West Point Grey Academy in the middle of a term which is highly unusual.

00:10:21.960 It was a law firm that made this announcement, which is also highly unusual.

00:10:28.660 Sir, can you tell us the real reason why you left so abruptly and did it involve any kind of sexual misconduct at the school?

00:10:37.960 Even so, Mr. Prime Minister, a follow-up question.

00:10:39.960 Why did so many teenage girls write so passionately about you in the yearbook?

00:10:46.600 Was there any connection to having a relationship with these girls or their mothers?

00:10:53.800 We had some other great or terrible moments with the rest of the media.

00:10:57.480 Remember when Kian butted heads with that CTV reporter in Ottawa?

00:11:01.020 What is your message to those like this gentleman here and people who will never listen to what you're saying today?

00:11:07.080 When you hear the President of the United States say what he said recently about why are they going after plastic straws?

00:11:12.040 How difficult is it to combat the muddying of the waters when you have people advocating?

00:11:16.720 When I speak to Conservative supporters, or at least those who claim to be, they say the carbon tax has to go.

00:11:22.500 When you talk to constituents, what are they saying about the carbon tax?

00:11:25.380 Do they understand what the carbon tax is and who initially came up with it?

00:11:29.480 So residents of Ottawa Centre are supportive of our action on climate change, including a price on pollution.

00:11:36.240 That sideways look, that just makes me laugh.

00:11:39.680 Anyways, that wasn't the press scrum of Catherine McKenna.

00:11:43.320 That was a CTV hack applying for a job with a Liberal cabinet minister with such softballs. 0.98

00:11:48.880 Oh my God.

00:11:50.260 The media was atrocious in this campaign, but I have to say, the parties on the right made it easy for them.

00:11:56.060 Let's start with the split.

00:11:58.340 When Maxime Bernier left the Conservative Party to create the People's Party more than a year ago,

00:12:02.540 it took energy, conviction, people, and money out of the Conservatives.

00:12:06.500 Because Bernier should not have left, and Scheer should not have let things degenerate with him so much that he left.

00:12:11.720 I don't think the PPC will win anything more than Bernier's own seat tonight.

00:12:16.160 But what a shame that he wasn't in the big Conservative tent, fighting to make it more Conservative,

00:12:21.820 and giving the Conservative Party some energy, especially in Quebec, and boosting the true Conservative base.

00:12:28.160 And Scheer made the worst of it. 0.87

00:12:31.960 He literally hired a liberal dirty trickster, Warren Kinsella, to smear Bernier and his supporters as racist. 0.94

00:12:39.980 That's a leftist move. 0.90

00:12:42.320 To smear people as racist that you will know are not racist.

00:12:45.660 It's what's done to Scheer himself all the time by the CBC.

00:12:49.060 That's a new low for him to do it to fellow Conservatives.

00:12:52.540 How disappointing.

00:12:53.520 So how's this all going to end?

00:12:54.660 Eric Bernier aggregated all of the polls in Canada.

00:12:58.940 He did a pretty good job.

00:13:00.100 Came up with this chart.

00:13:01.560 He blended all the polls together.

00:13:04.200 He says there's a 13% chance of a Liberal majority tonight, 48% chance of a Liberal minority,

00:13:10.300 37% chance of a Conservative minority, and 2% chance of a Conservative majority.

00:13:14.340 Now, remember, you need 170 seats to win a majority in a 338-seat Parliament.

00:13:19.080 We'll see how it goes.

00:13:19.880 I think Bernier's estimates are pretty accurate based on his inputs.

00:13:23.660 If you look at all the polls, they seem to be converging, and he just sort of jammed them all together.

00:13:28.520 You can have your theories that people lie to pollsters, and I think they do, or that pollsters tweak things, and I think they do.

00:13:33.740 But if I had to predict, I'd predict a Liberal minority tonight.

00:13:38.660 I just don't think Andrew Scheer will pull it off.

00:13:41.700 The party has crumbled in Quebec to the benefit of the Bloc Québécois.

00:13:45.260 So much for Scheer pandering to the dairy lobby. 1.00

00:13:48.580 We'll see what voter turnout in the Toronto and Vancouver regions are like.

00:13:51.740 I think that's the real battleground.

00:13:54.940 I'm pessimistic.

00:13:56.400 Look, people hate Trudeau, but they don't have a love for Scheer.

00:14:00.120 I've never even seen a Conservative say,

00:14:01.900 Woohoo! I'm psyched about Andrew Scheer.

00:14:04.240 You just don't see that.

00:14:06.480 You need emotion, not just reason.

00:14:08.440 And he's given voters precious little of either.

00:14:10.860 Will Trudeau haters vote for Jagmeet Singh instead of Scheer?

00:14:16.080 I think some will.

00:14:17.440 I think most will vote strategically for Trudeau to block Scheer.

00:14:21.960 But look at this Singh video from a Vancouver event.

00:14:25.180 I want to show you the whole thing.

00:14:27.300 This is an ad that does not have a single word spoken by Singh.

00:14:33.080 Not a word of policy.

00:14:34.920 You could call this juvenile, in fact.

00:14:37.460 But look, it's 100% the same vibe that Trudeau himself had in 2015 that he used to win.

00:14:42.700 I think Singh might be able to siphon off a few percent of Millennials and Generation Z.

00:14:48.980 Especially minorities and women who were disappointed in Trudeau.

00:14:51.580 Here, just watch this video.

00:15:12.700 Look how the sun now raising up, and the clouds now waking up.

00:15:17.200 The atmosphere half-wise, and nothing can break it up.

00:15:21.160 The girl, them a wine non-stop.

00:15:22.860 We are the drinks, them in a microwave.

00:15:25.120 We gonna party all night, all night.

00:15:28.180 24 parties, we hit in a room.

00:15:30.680 Tonight, at the very last show.

00:15:32.660 Before we're out on the road.

00:15:34.660 The girl, them a release the road.

00:15:36.660 So let me see your hands up soon. 1.00

00:15:38.280 Everybody now put your hands up soon.

00:15:40.060 If you're ready for the road, let your friend them know.

00:15:43.000 We're ready for the road.

00:15:50.660 We're ready for the road.

00:15:57.940 Now, if we were voting for a dance party tonight, I would vote for Jagmeet Singh.

00:16:03.900 But not for much else.

00:16:06.300 But in his own way, I know it sounds odd to say, but I think he's a bit of a bigot.

00:16:13.540 So just to be clear, you would not respect a, you know, if Andrew Scheer wins the most seats,

00:16:20.300 you would not allow him to form government.

00:16:22.700 You would oppose that?

00:16:23.960 We don't respect conservatives, no.

00:16:25.240 Yeah, well, about 35% or 40% of the country is conservative.

00:16:34.800 And of course, in some pockets of the country, it's like 80%.

00:16:37.440 But Jagmeet Singh doesn't think they even deserve his respect, even his fellow citizens.

00:16:42.900 He refused to answer Kian's question about pipelines for that reason.

00:16:48.300 Look at this.

00:16:49.020 Hi, Elizabeth May told me earlier today, and I think she spoke in the other debate recently,

00:16:54.940 that she wants the Alberta oil sands offline in a decade.

00:16:58.860 What's the date that you want the Alberta oil sands offline?

00:17:01.700 Sir, what's your name?

00:17:02.540 My name's Kian, I'm with RNN.

00:17:04.180 You're with who?

00:17:04.760 RNN.

00:17:05.420 I'm going to pass on the question, my friend.

00:17:06.680 Okay, so do I get the follow-up then?

00:17:08.980 Or you're just going to pass on the question for...

00:17:10.760 Yeah, I'm not going to answer you.

00:17:11.560 Because it's a hard one or...

00:17:12.540 No, I'm just not going to answer your question.

00:17:13.520 Okay, so the follow-up, I guess, would be, how do you have the moral authority to take

00:17:18.380 the Alberta oil sands offline, given Alberta most just recently rejected your party in

00:17:23.660 the largest democratic mandate that the province has ever seen?

00:17:27.000 I'm not going to answer your question, but thanks.

00:17:28.080 It's a hard one, Hank.

00:17:28.700 Yeah.

00:17:29.080 Thanks, man.

00:17:29.800 Now, that's not a barb at Kian.

00:17:31.740 That is a barb at anyone from Alberta, anyone from the oil patch, anyone who disagrees with

00:17:36.260 Singh.

00:17:37.040 That's not someone who wants to be a leader for the whole country.

00:17:40.940 Singh didn't even bother to visit Calgary at all in the whole campaign.

00:17:43.520 And Trudeau only stopped by for a few minutes at midnight the other day.

00:17:47.640 They both hate Alberta, Singh and Trudeau, and they both campaigned against Alberta.

00:17:51.700 Actually, all the parties did, except the PPC and the CPC.

00:17:55.060 The Bloc Québécois obviously did.

00:17:56.200 The Greens did.

00:17:57.300 That's my real fear tonight.

00:17:58.520 A liberal minority propped up by any combination of those other small parties on the left.

00:18:04.440 They would kill any pipelines. 0.83

00:18:05.820 They would kill the oil sands.

00:18:07.120 They would stoke Alberta separatism in a way never seen before, not even under Pierre Trudeau's

00:18:11.080 NEP.

00:18:11.620 We'll see how it goes.

00:18:14.880 I think a better conservative leader could have capitalized on the SNC-Lavalin scandal,

00:18:20.100 the blackface scandal, Trudeau's own deep unpopularity as a man.

00:18:24.920 Back to Grenier here.

00:18:26.940 Fewer than 35% of Canadians actually approve of Trudeau. 0.99

00:18:30.660 He's considered a fake, an imposter, a liar, a groper, a fake feminist. 0.98

00:18:36.840 How could you have all that plus the foreign policy disasters, plus the economic disasters, 0.98

00:18:42.220 the tax disasters, and not be beating Trudeau?

00:18:45.140 Well, I hope I'm wrong.

00:18:48.600 We'll find out in just a few hours.
