00:00:00.500
Hi everybody, Ezra Levant here. I'm here hosting the live stream.
00:00:04.100
What a pleasure to be back in this chair. Normally my colleagues do this honor,
00:00:08.240
but today I've got so much to say because Christia Freeland,
00:00:12.340
the Deputy Prime Minister and the Finance Minister, has resigned from
00:00:15.900
Cabinet in a flourish, in a bombshell, and it was so interesting
00:00:20.120
because over the weekend she was posting videos in her
00:00:23.940
capacity as Finance Minister and talking about the future and making promises
00:00:27.940
and in no way was she telegraphing that she intended
00:00:35.920
interesting is that today, in fact this morning
00:00:39.940
the government was set to introduce its fall economic statement, sort of
00:00:43.900
an update on the budget, sort of a before we go into Christmas
00:00:47.720
here's how it's going, we'll adjust a few numbers, here's how revenues are going, here's
00:00:51.660
how expenses, here's how deficits are going. And it's been sort of weird over
00:00:55.820
the last couple weeks as people have said, when are you going to have this fall
00:00:58.600
economic update? And Christia Freeland wouldn't really answer
00:01:01.900
and she said it'll happen before the end of the year. It was really strange, it was
00:01:05.340
clear she didn't want to have the bad news hung around her neck and
00:01:10.240
there seemed to be a quarrel. Last night the National Post
00:01:13.700
had a scoop, they said, that the $250 per person Christmas gift that Trudeau was
00:01:20.200
promising might be scrapped. So there was obviously a lot of tension
00:01:28.460
published to Twitter this morning by Christia Freeland
00:01:38.600
told her, I want you to read this fall economic update
00:01:42.480
and then I want to fire you as finance minister
00:01:46.540
and have you take some other job and presumably put
00:01:50.440
his buddy Mark Carney as the new finance minister. So just to understand
00:01:54.400
Trudeau fired her and then said, oh but I want you to go out
00:02:04.200
as finance minister to take ownership of this disastrous
00:02:08.520
budget update. And Christia Freeland must have nodded
00:02:13.080
as she does. She does a lot of nodding. And this morning
00:02:18.280
just an incredible letter. I want to read the whole thing in full if I may. Go
00:02:24.060
ahead and put it on the screen. It was dated today.
00:02:30.780
Dear Prime Minister, it's been the honor of my life
00:02:32.980
to serve in government working for Canada and Canadians. We have accomplished a lot
00:02:36.680
together. On Friday you told me you no longer want me to serve as your finance
00:02:41.360
minister and offered me another position in the
00:02:44.080
cabinet. She doesn't say which one. Upon reflection, I have concluded that the
00:02:50.340
only honest and viable path is for me to resign
00:02:52.800
from the cabinet. So she's not just, basically if she can't stay on as finance
00:02:58.440
minister, she's done, she says. To be effective, a minister must speak on
00:03:03.440
behalf of the prime minister and with his full confidence in making your decision.
00:03:07.500
You made clear that I no longer credibly enjoy that confidence and possess the
00:03:11.840
authority that comes with it. I think that's true.
00:03:15.960
For the past number of weeks, you and I have found ourselves at odds about the best
00:03:19.740
path forward for Canada. I think that's probably true, although she
00:03:23.960
certainly said whatever he told her to say, didn't she?
00:03:32.380
The incoming administration in the United States is pursuing a policy of aggressive
00:03:37.620
economic nationalism, including a threat of 25% tariffs. We need to take that threat
00:03:43.560
extremely seriously. Well, I think here she's fudging it a bit. Trump doesn't want a trade
00:03:49.920
war now. He just wants us to close our borders to illegal drugs and illegal migrants. But Trudeau
00:03:55.000
and Freeland love to fight Trump. So they're saying, well, we got to fight. How about just
00:03:58.900
fix the border? But I'll read a little bit more about what she says.
00:04:03.860
That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today. So we have the reserves we may need for a coming
00:04:09.620
tariff war. That means eschewing costly political gimmicks. Wow. Well, she's obviously talking about
00:04:16.860
this GST holiday and the $250 bonus, costly political gimmicks. Isn't that great? Just the other
00:04:23.220
day she was defending them, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize
00:04:29.640
the gravity of the moment. It's sort of funny that she says we need to keep our fiscal powder dry so we
00:04:34.760
have reserves. We don't have any reserves. I mean, it's a $62 billion deficit. What reserves?
00:04:41.380
They burned those long ago. Let me read the letter. That means pushing back against America first
00:04:48.300
economic nationalism with a determined effort to fight for capital and investment and the jobs they
00:04:53.640
bring. That means working in good faith and humility with the premiers of the provinces and territories of
00:05:00.460
our great and diverse country and building a true Team Canada response. Olivia, can you pull up the clip
00:05:07.260
of the president of SoftBank making his announcement with Trump today? I want to show that in a moment because
00:05:14.520
it's relevant here. But what you see here is Christian Freeland saying we should be working
00:05:22.660
with the premiers because you've seen the premiers take the lead here. You've seen the premier of
00:05:26.900
Alberta, Danielle Smith, announce drones and a border patrol and a red zone and sniffer dogs to patrol the
00:05:34.420
border. You've seen Francois Legault, the premier of Quebec, actually meet with Trump very briefly at the
00:05:40.140
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and said, look, no one wants to tariff war. Let's fix the border.
00:05:47.360
So you have premiers saying let's fix the border, other than Doug Ford, who seems just to be
00:05:52.460
mimicking whatever Trudeau says. Freeland is saying let's have a Team Canada approach.
00:05:59.740
It sort of makes me laugh to fight for capital and investment in the jobs they bring.
00:06:05.360
You know, it was tough enough for Canada to fight against the United States economy when Trudeau was
00:06:12.820
ratcheting up and Chrystia Freeland was ratcheting up the carbon tax every April Fool's Day and all the
00:06:18.520
other punishments they put on. But now that Trump is in, he's not even in office yet.
00:06:24.640
The other day he, I don't know if you can find this one, Olivia, on short notice. Trump the other day,
00:06:29.800
just apropos of nothing, tweeted, anyone who comes to America with a billion dollars or more,
00:06:37.120
we will clear the, we will expedite you through all the regulations, especially the environmental
00:06:43.140
ones. I don't know if you saw that. It was just, it wasn't pegged to any news. He just sort of said,
00:06:50.480
it was a very short tweet. He just said, if you can look for the word billion, if you search Trump and
00:06:55.080
then billion, maybe it shows up. It's not, it's not critical that you find it, but it's just,
00:07:00.700
I mean, if you are a billionaire anywhere in the world, Trump wants you to bring your money
00:07:06.780
to America so badly that he'll just, he's thinking of it and he just announces it.
00:07:14.380
Bring your billion dollars plus to America and we will roll out the red carpet and we'll expedite the
00:07:20.560
red tape, especially the environmental red tape. Just, just a statement, but it flies the flag,
00:07:28.600
doesn't it? That America is back, their economy is going to roar again and you can have that or you
00:07:36.260
can have the European Union, which is regulating you to death, or you can have Canada that's taxing
00:07:41.040
you to death. You know, one of the most successful Canadian companies is a tech company called Shopify.
00:07:45.780
You've probably seen Shopify. It powers so many online stores, by the way. I'm surprised they
00:07:53.020
haven't moved to America. I mean, it must, it just must be tough operating in Canada when they just
00:08:00.740
look across to where most of their customers are. And don't worry about it. It's just, it was just a
00:08:04.880
one-line tweet about him saying billionaire is welcome because look at a billionaire who took him
00:08:10.120
up on his offer. Maybe that's what happened. Maybe Trump knew that the president of SoftBank
00:08:15.020
which is one of the biggest investment financial companies in Japan. Maybe he sort of was doing
00:08:24.320
a deal with this guy and it was still under wraps and he just tweeted, hey, any billionaire who comes
00:08:29.480
here will help out. Just take a listen to this guy. This, this is the president of SoftBank. He's
00:08:34.600
also a major shareholder in it. This is one of Japan's richest men, Korean by ethnicity. He just,
00:08:40.960
apropos nothing, comes to America and announces, well, I'll let you listen to him. Look at this
00:08:47.080
stunning announcement. So in Canada, you have a total meltdown of our political system. Our finance
00:08:52.060
minister was fired or quit. I'm not sure the best way to describe it. Our deficit is at a record level.
00:08:58.680
Carbon taxes are going up. We're an absolute laughingstock. And by contrast, look what's going
00:09:04.060
on in America? Take a look at this guy. To go and we were discussing and President Trump said,
00:09:11.540
masa, you know, double that is not enough. Maybe, you know, go for more, right?
00:09:17.500
That's all right. I'm going to ask him right now. Would you make it $200 million?
00:09:22.680
He said, believe it or not, he can actually afford to do that. Would you do that?
00:09:30.320
Well, my promise is 100, but, you know, he's now asking to do more. I think, you know,
00:09:38.580
with your leadership, my partnership with you, with your support, I will try to make it happen.
00:09:46.780
That's a good question. All right. 200. He'll make it happen. 200 million investors.
00:09:58.520
He's a brilliant guy and an unbelievable job. And the people of Japan and all over the world
00:10:04.220
are very proud of him. They have tremendous respect for himself. What he does, what he just did. And
00:10:09.920
I would be surprised if it didn't go to do it. When you say, go try, I know you'll do it.
00:10:16.420
I will really try. And I need your support, though.
00:10:27.440
There was some banter there. His announcement was, let me just tell you what his announcement
00:10:31.840
was. It wasn't clear there. He's going to invest over the next four years, $100 billion
00:10:38.560
to create 100,000 jobs in America in different portfolios, in different sectors. And when you
00:10:50.420
think about it, that's pretty incredible math. That's basically a million dollars per job,
00:10:55.240
which is credible. And it's not a government grant. It's not a tax. It's not a subsidy.
00:11:01.520
It's a $100 billion investment. And it's unthinkable that such an investment would have
00:11:08.900
been done under Biden or Harris. And it's unthinkable that that would be done in Canada.
00:11:16.960
And you saw Trump, even after the deal was done, trying to upsell the president of this bank to a
00:11:24.540
$200 billion. And that's real money, by the way. That's U.S. dollars. So $100 billion U.S.,
00:11:30.220
you know, I'd have to put that in my calculator. That's got to be about 1.5, almost 1.5 billion
00:11:37.300
Canadian, $150 billion Canadian, excuse me. So what a laugh that Chrystia Freeland is saying,
00:11:45.160
we got to win capital from around the world investing in Canada. Do you think that SoftBank
00:11:51.780
president for one second even contemplated investing in Canada, even proportionately $10 billion?
00:11:59.880
Why would he? So he can pay the carbon tax, so he can have it taxed away,
00:12:03.880
so he can have the general meltdown in society? Anyhow, let me get back to the statement today.
00:12:08.160
I just wanted to, what a laugh that Chrystia Freeland is going to bring investment to Canada.
00:12:12.240
Donald Trump just brought $100 billion. All right, back to the statement.
00:12:16.300
I know Canadians would recognize and respect such an approach, she says, talking about the Team Canada
00:12:24.940
approach. They know when we are working for them, and they equally know when we are focused on
00:12:30.840
ourselves. That's a bit of a zinger. Trudeau loves himself more than all other things combined.
00:12:39.180
Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end,
00:12:42.440
but how we deal with the threat our country currently faces will define us for a generation,
00:12:47.800
and perhaps longer. Canada will win if we are strong, smart, and united. I don't think
00:12:54.640
the Trudeau government is strong. I don't think it's smart. And I'll show you some clips today
00:13:00.980
that suggest that it's not very united. It is this conviction which has driven my strenuous efforts
00:13:07.000
this fall to manage our spending in ways that will give us the flexibility we will need
00:13:11.080
to meet the serious challenges presented by the United States. You've got to stop lying. Like,
00:13:15.720
I love this letter because it detonates Trudeau, but she's lying. She has not shown any fiscal
00:13:21.700
restraint. It's an astonishing, staggering budget deficit. There is no keep our powder dry,
00:13:29.620
and it's a trick. Trump just says, seal your border or I'll hit you with tariffs. They're all
00:13:35.280
focused on tariffs and counter tariffs and how to pay for the tariffs. Why don't you just seal the
00:13:39.360
border to illegals? I will always be grateful for the chance to have served in government,
00:13:45.620
and I will always be proud of our government's work for Canada and Canadians. I look forward to
00:13:50.300
continue. This is very interesting. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues as a
00:13:55.860
Liberal member of Parliament, and I am committed to running again for my seat in Toronto in the next
00:14:02.440
federal election. With gratitude, the Honorable Chrystia Freeland. That last line is so interesting.
00:14:10.880
She's not running away like David Lamedi, the disgraced justice minister who brought in
00:14:15.540
the Emergencies Act. When the Emergencies Act was found by the federal court to be illegal and
00:14:20.400
unconstitutional, he quit. As justice minister, but also as MP, he didn't even serve out his term,
00:14:26.700
and he ran off, skulked away to a private gig. He was just ashamed and disgraced and driven out of
00:14:32.680
public life. That's not what Chrystia Freeland's doing. In fact, talking about, oh, all our times
00:14:38.580
come to an end. She's basically saying, your days are numbered, Justin. I'm going to be in Toronto,
00:14:46.280
I think it's called University, is the name of her riding. What's it? University Spadina or something?
00:14:51.520
Mm-hmm. It's actually one of the few safe liberal seats in Canada. It is so liberal down there.
00:15:00.060
And I think that's her way of saying, I'm blaming you. I could have fought and helped and win, but
00:15:08.700
you mismanaged it. This is on you. Enjoy the next few weeks or months. I'm going to be
00:15:18.840
just a backbench MP, and when you are done, well, I will still be here. She doesn't say,
00:15:26.000
and I'm running for parliament, but she obviously will. And she does say she's running for parliament.
00:15:34.580
She doesn't say she's running for leader, but I think she obviously will. You cannot be
00:15:39.100
finance minister and deputy prime minister and go back down to just a regular MP and say,
00:15:45.700
no, no, that's fine. That's all I want to do. I don't believe it. No one believes it.
00:15:52.300
She was demoted by Trudeau, so she quit. And she's just going to wait till he's gone,
00:15:58.060
and she's going to throw her hat in the ring, and she will be immediately the leading contender.
00:16:04.600
There's no doubt about who else is there. That Melanie Jolie. I mean, I know that she had her
00:16:10.920
photo shoot with the New York Times basically declaring her campaign in New York City, which
00:16:17.900
is sort of bizarre. And then that guy, Francois Philippe Champagne, I find it astonishing that
00:16:26.100
he thinks he can be leader. But I mean, I guess the thing about politicians is someone whispers in
00:16:33.620
their ear, you can do it. You can be prime minister. And they just want to believe it so bad,
00:16:40.100
they force themselves to believe it. Let me show you a tweet just yesterday that Chrystia Freeland put
00:16:50.440
up. She was, I think, at the Toronto Stock Exchange. Of course, Donald Trump was at the New York Stock
00:16:56.880
Exchange, so Chrystia Freeland was matching that by going to the TSX. Just show that tweet,
00:17:01.640
Olivia, which is one of the ones you put in the live stream thread there, just because she was
00:17:07.380
keeping this secret, obviously, at their meeting on Friday. Yeah, just pump that up a little bit.
00:17:11.460
I'll read it. So I think she tweeted this yesterday, if I'm not mistaken. So she said,
00:17:20.020
on Friday, we announced new support to boost research and development in Canada, which will
00:17:25.760
attract more capital and create more good jobs. Yeah, no, I don't think it will, sister.
00:17:30.520
And we'll have more to announce tomorrow in the fall economic statement. And scroll down just a
00:17:37.580
little bit so you can see there she is. And she's making some statement. Was this about AI?
00:17:45.460
Put the sound up. Let's take a listen for a second what she was saying there.
00:17:49.160
Can you tell us why this announcement is good news for Canada?
00:17:54.220
Absolutely. We made two big announcements today. One is expanding our SHRED program, which is a big
00:18:03.220
workforce of government support for research and development in Canada. And the other is creating
00:18:08.640
more ways for pension funds to invest the money of Canadians in Canada. Both of those things mean
00:18:15.120
pulling more money into Canada. And more capital, more investment means more good jobs.
00:18:24.020
Thanks. So I think it was an announcement about artificial intelligence that the government,
00:18:29.440
that may have been an earlier announcement. So they're going to take tax dollars and invest in
00:18:33.840
one of the richest sectors. I mean, it's so absurd. AI is the hottest thing on Wall Street. It's the
00:18:39.540
hottest thing around the world. There are literally trillions of dollars at play. NVIDIA, one of the
00:18:45.000
richest companies in the world, is rich because of its chips that do processing for AI. The idea that
00:18:50.720
there's a shortage of money is a joke. But this is just press release announcements that they're
00:18:57.500
throwing money away so they can, you know, rub shoulders with business elites who would not be here
00:19:05.240
otherwise. And who probably will leave at the first instance. What a contrast. Donald Trump in New York
00:19:12.120
City today, or I think it was Mar-a-Lago today, announcing $100 billion in foreign money coming
00:19:21.300
into America. And even there, he's saying, can we get it to 200? And he was serious. And then you've got
00:19:27.760
Chrystia Freeland desperate. And by the way, a lot of that SoftBank money is AI investments. And you've
00:19:33.680
got Chrystia Freeland trying to compete. What an embarrassment. I want to show you a few other
00:19:39.420
vids that just got me chuckling. Here's Francois-Philippe Champagne. Because there was another
00:19:45.860
resignation the other day, Sean Fraser, who, if I'm not mistaken, was at one time the immigration
00:19:51.120
minister, and then the housing minister. Maybe I have my order wrong there. So you've had a couple
00:19:56.720
of senior resignations from cabinet. These guys can read the polls. And here's Francois-Philippe
00:20:02.960
Champagne, who truly, truly, truly, in his bones, believes he can be prime minister. And who knows,
00:20:09.840
maybe he can be. He's certainly China's candidate. I don't know if you remember. This guy, when he was
00:20:15.540
foreign minister, had a mortgage on a house or an apartment. And do you know who gave him the
00:20:22.860
mortgage? Was it the Royal Bank? Was it TD Bank? Was it Scotiabank? Was it, you know, there's a lot
00:20:28.420
of Canadian banks. And then there's smaller lenders. And then there's international lenders,
00:20:33.440
too. There's, you know, Citibank, Wells Fargo. Like, there's probably a, I think his property is in
00:20:41.020
London, England, which probably has more banks than any other city in the world. Maybe even more than
00:20:48.220
New York. I bet it does. So who do you think he took his mortgage from? The Bank of China. A government
00:20:57.500
bank that is not really in the home mortgage business. Francois-Philippe Champagne, when he was
00:21:05.880
foreign minister, owed over a million dollars to the government of China. The government of China was
00:21:12.780
his financier, was his mortgage lender. First of all, how did that happen? Why did that happen?
00:21:21.640
What's the deal there? And why would he think that's okay? And he was the sitting foreign minister
00:21:28.480
while he owed a debt of over a million dollars to the People's Republic of China. So that's how crooked
00:21:35.000
and dirty this guy is. Here's Francois-Philippe Champagne. I understand that he was asked by
00:21:42.060
Trudeau to deliver the socioeconomic statement today, and he just refused. Take a look.
00:21:47.060
So you don't think this has anything to do with the lack of confidence in the leadership of the
00:21:51.340
Liberal Party? Yeah, I think after a decade, you've seen colleagues on both sides of the aisle,
00:21:57.500
you know, looking back and saying they've given a lot, they've worked a lot for their
00:22:02.900
constituents. They've worked a lot for Canada. And I think he's leaving with, I'm sure,
00:22:09.140
the feeling that he has accomplished a lot for his constituents, but also for Canada. So
00:22:13.740
in my view, I think for him and anyone who's been serving, we should all be thankful and say,
00:22:22.220
listen, thanks for a job well done and wishing you the best for the rest, you know.
00:22:27.480
That was about Sean Fraser. I wonder if we also have one about him talking about Christian Freeland.
00:22:32.900
Perhaps I'm misremembering, but Anita Anand, who has had various senior portfolios, including
00:22:40.020
defense, she was asked about Freeland. I think that comment by Francois-Philippe Champagne was like
00:22:48.500
slightly earlier than Christian Freeland's bombshell announcement. So it only captured the Sean Fraser
00:22:54.440
resignation. Here's Anita Anand. I'll let you judge her answer for yourself. I think this is likely,
00:23:02.600
an unscripted, genuine answer. Normally everything is stage managed and choreographed in Ottawa.
00:23:11.560
Christian Freeland is a good friend, someone I work with very, very closely as president of the
00:23:19.180
Treasury Board and Minister of Transport. This news has hit me really hard.
00:23:23.720
I'm not sure. It sounds like she was running or going up some stairs then. She really doesn't know
00:23:34.140
what to say. She needs more time to process it. Translation, she needs to think, which boat does
00:23:39.540
she want to be in? The sinking Titanic or one of the lifeboats? I think, you know, the last one out,
00:23:50.280
turn out the lights. I think on the one hand, loyalty to the boss gets you a promotion perhaps,
00:23:58.880
but for how long? Is it measured in months or weeks or days? Whereas you get out on the lifeboat,
00:24:06.240
I mean, it's almost too late. I mean, Anand, like Freeland, was at the heart of every atrocious
00:24:12.520
decision this government made for 10 years, nine years. Christia Freeland had some real zingers
00:24:20.200
about Trudeau, gimmicks and narcissism and all about yourself. Yeah, she had some insults there,
00:24:27.600
but show me a single thing she disagreed with and refused to argue for in nine years.
00:24:32.860
Yes. It looks like a liberal MP, Francis Drouin, has also called on Trudeau to resign. I'm not sure
00:24:41.640
when this was recorded. Do you have that? I see Harrison Faulkner tweeted the vid if you've got that
00:24:47.600
handy. I say again, I don't know if this was before or after Freeland. Let's take a listen.
00:24:54.940
Obviously, many of my colleagues have put up, and I've been a great defender, but I just don't see how
00:25:00.740
we move forward without having a future minister resign. Today was supposed to be a presentation
00:25:06.740
of a plan, and now we're talking about a finance minister who has resigned. I don't see how this
00:25:11.300
helps the prime minister, and I don't see a way out in how this helps us talk about Canadians while
00:25:16.340
we're continuing to talk about what's happening right now. So he needs to go. Sorry, I'd like to hear
00:25:21.160
you. I think he needs to go. Yeah. Justin Trudeau. Yeah. Yeah. I think today's resignation is a sign
00:25:28.380
of that. Now, I want to make a confession. I have no idea who that guy is. Do you? Francis
00:25:35.000
Drouin. Do you know where he's from, Olivia? And I'm not trying to put you on the... I'm just...
00:25:41.160
He's 41 years old. He's from Glengarry Prescott Russell, and he was elected in 2015. So he has been in
00:25:54.460
parliament for nine years. And he's never gone anywhere. I'm just looking... Oh, he was the
00:26:04.460
parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. So he was the deputy,
00:26:12.260
like a junior parliamentary secretary. And obviously, he's going no further.
00:26:21.800
He's on a few committees. I honestly have never heard of him before. And maybe I'm just
00:26:28.760
displaying my own ignorance. But let me put it another way.
00:26:34.460
If you have been an MP for Trudeau for nine years, and you're not in cabinet,
00:26:42.320
you're never going to be in cabinet. And if the best you can do is be junior deputy Agri-Food and
00:26:49.460
sit on a few boring committees, you're not going anywhere. And so why not? I mean, how can they
00:26:56.460
punish you? You're not going to get the carrot. And really, at this point, what's the stick? So
00:27:02.000
Francis Drouin has the courage, the courage, nine years later to say Trudeau's got to go. It'll be
00:27:09.180
interesting to see what those numbers are like. But I want to remind you about the true nature of
00:27:17.040
Chrystia Freeland. I mean, as you know, her grandfather was a Nazi, an actual Nazi, who
00:27:25.760
expropriated a newspaper from a Jew back in Ukraine, and turned it into a Nazi propaganda rag.
00:27:34.300
So her grandpa wasn't just a card-carrying Nazi. He was a Nazi propagandist, a Nazi activist,
00:27:40.940
who personally stole property from a Jew. And I don't know for a fact, but I would assume
00:27:47.180
that the Jew was killed. Now, you cannot blame a granddaughter for the grandfather's Nazism. You
00:27:58.400
can't. But Chrystia Freeland tried to cover that up, tried to hide that. And when it started circulating
00:28:07.360
in the news, she denounced it as Russian disinformation. She actively covered up her
00:28:16.680
grandfather's Nazism. Here's the Ottawa Citizen headline. Chrystia Freeland's granddad was indeed
00:28:23.060
a Nazi collaborator. So much for Russian disinformation. It's a true story. And you can
00:28:30.520
see that was published in 2017. She managed to hide it. And then she had a few other flashbacks
00:28:38.660
where she showed that she is indeed her grandfather's granddaughter. She attended an event with a scarf
00:28:49.920
that is sort of a signature item of Ukrainian fascist leader. I don't want to get the name wrong. That
00:28:59.400
was a scoop by our friend Candace Malcolm at True North. It was a Bandera scarf. Olivia, if you can
00:29:07.000
Google, yeah, there you go. Slava Ukraini, which is fine. That means just, you know, basically go
00:29:13.800
Ukraine, strengthen Ukraine. But she's wearing a scarf, or maybe that is the scarf, in the Bandarite
00:29:21.000
colors, which is basically the Nazi leader during the Second World War. And of course,
00:29:29.400
she was on her feet applauding wildly when an actual Nazi SS soldier, Yaroslav Hanka, I think was his
00:29:40.860
last name, was introduced to the Canadian Parliament. And I was watching this because you might recall
00:29:47.120
Vladimir Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, was in Parliament. It was the big day. Everyone was excited.
00:29:54.800
And I was watching. And the Speaker of the House introduces this stranger that none of us knew. Do you want to
00:30:04.040
Yeah, there he is. And he's very old now. I think he's in his 90s. And there he's, I don't know if he's,
00:30:16.120
why he's wiping his brow like that. And he, maybe he's just elderly and he gives sort of a cheer.
00:30:20.920
He can't believe it. He's been a, not just a regular Nazi, an SS officer. And he can't believe that he's
00:30:31.100
getting a standing ovation in the Canadian Parliament. I was watching this live at home.
00:30:36.280
I remember. And I remember they announced him in some way. He fought against the Russians in
00:30:42.960
the Second World War. And I thought, you know, I don't like the Soviets or something. I thought,
00:30:51.780
you know, I don't like the Soviets much myself. But the people who were fighting against the Soviets
00:30:57.740
in the Second World War, they were the Nazis. And I googled it. And I was, you know, just to toot my
00:31:05.120
own horn, I was one of the first people to say, what the hell? Who is this guy? And it was just
00:31:10.100
astonishing. So yeah, Chrystia Freeland has those Nazi instincts in her. And she works on the board of
00:31:17.080
directors by another son of a Nazi named Klaus Schwab. Do you have the World Economic Forum
00:31:23.080
biography handy? Chrystia Freeland is no longer in the Canadian Cabinet, which is tantamount to the
00:31:31.480
board of directors of Canada. So here's her board of directors on the World Economic homepage. And you
00:31:39.480
can see they haven't yet updated the news. I'll read it to you. World Economic Forum.
00:31:45.380
The Honorable Chrystia Freeland is Canada's Deputy Prime Minister of Finance. She was first elected as
00:31:53.700
MP for Toronto Centre in July 2013. She was elected as an MP for University Rosedale, that's the proper
00:32:02.540
name of the university riding, in October 2019, and re-elected in October 2019 and September 2021.
00:32:10.580
From 25th, blah, blah, blah, blah. Let me read the last sentence to you. Scroll down a little bit.
00:32:20.860
An esteemed journalist and author, blah, blah, blah. Scroll down a little bit more, a little bit more.
00:32:31.580
There we go. She joined the Thomson Reuters. She's written two books, Sale of the Century,
00:32:39.340
The Inside Story of the Second Russian Revolution, and Plutocrats. She was recognized. Scroll down a
00:32:45.040
little bit more. Boy, this is very long. She is a member of the forum's board of trustees.
00:32:52.540
So she is on the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum. And scroll up a bit. She was the
00:32:57.820
official biographer. A little bit more, a little bit more up.
00:33:06.460
I'm trying to find it. I'm pretty sure it's in this biographer, biography that they discuss
00:33:11.960
her role as George Soros' authorized biographer. Scroll up a little bit more.
00:33:19.240
I can't find it there, but I'll look for it elsewhere. That's what she was doing
00:33:27.200
before she became an MP. She was George Soros' authorized biographer. You know what an authorized
00:33:33.620
biographer is, right? I mean, you could call me a Trudeau biographer. I just released a new book on
00:33:40.500
him. I'm writing about Trudeau. But obviously, it was not an authorized biography. An authorized
00:33:45.560
biography is more of a PR document. They're often done working with the subject who gives you access
00:33:52.760
to private materials, but also has control. The reason that it's authorized is they know
00:34:00.300
you're going to say friendly things. That's who Chrystia Freeland is. Granddaughter of a Nazi,
00:34:08.620
works with Klaus Schwab, whose father was a Nazi, and works with George Soros, who actually was a
00:34:16.540
Nazi collaborator. Can you Google the image of Trudeau, Freeland, and Soros? In one of his first
00:34:26.000
foreign trips after being elected back in 2015, Chrystia Freeland accompanied Trudeau to the World
00:34:31.840
Economic Forum and sort of showed him around. And one of the first private meetings they had
00:34:38.000
was a, yeah, that's it right there. That's from January 2016. Chrystia Freeland and Justin Trudeau.
00:34:47.600
Who's the boss? Let's just look at the body language there. Who's the boss in that room?
00:34:52.560
And since then, can you also, can you now Google Alex Soros and Trudeau? Alex is the son of George
00:35:05.760
Soros, and he's the inheritor. George Soros is in his 80s, and I'm not sure how long he'll be around,
00:35:14.340
but he's really bequeathed things to his son, a younger, dumber, meaner Soros. And Trudeau meets
00:35:25.220
with them, and Alex Soros collects politicians all the time. And yeah, go ahead and show that one
00:35:31.220
there. That's Alex Soros on the right, and Justin Trudeau in the center, and George Soros decomposing
00:35:40.840
before his eyes, our eyes. So there's another generation. By the way, Alex Soros is now dating
00:35:47.000
Huma Abedin. Actually, they're married. Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's former staffer. So yeah,
00:35:54.760
that's a little bit about Chrystia Freeland. But like I say, I don't want to judge someone too much
00:36:00.160
based on what happened before they were even born, what their grandfather did before they were even
00:36:04.600
born. The fact that Chrystia Freeland later tried to cover it up, I think, is newsworthy.
00:36:08.400
And the fact that she welcomed a Nazi SS officer to parliament is newsworthy.
00:36:16.640
But let me show you about Chrystia Freeland herself, and few things sum her up better than
00:36:21.800
the next two videos I want to show you. I want to show you the video of her imposing sanctions
00:36:29.580
on Canadians who dared to attend the peaceful political protests of the trucker convoy, the largest
00:36:36.420
peaceful protest in Canadian history, no acts of violence other than when police shot our reporter
00:36:42.980
Alexa Lebois. And without judicial process, without a court action, based on media gossip,
00:36:53.860
she ordered the banks to seize hundreds and hundreds of bank accounts of families. And of course,
00:37:01.560
a lot of families, the husband and the wife jointly have the account. So husband is maybe at the protest,
00:37:07.240
wife at the grocery store, suddenly none of her cards work. And I mean none. Not just the bank account's
00:37:12.680
frozen, the credit card's frozen. Imagine the trauma, the shock, the embarrassment, hundreds of times.
00:37:20.400
And the way she laughed while doing it. I'll never forget that. Her Nazi grandfather, looking up from hell, must be so proud of this little Nazi here.
00:37:32.520
Here, take a look at Chrystia Freeland laughing and smirking while destroying hundreds of lives. Take a look.
00:37:39.540
So you're confirming that accounts have been frozen, both personal and corporate, but you're not releasing the information.
00:37:45.720
And the actual follow-up is, I'm just wondering whether the bank accounts will be targeted of individuals
00:37:50.820
who donated to the Give, Send, Go and the GoFundMe campaigns. Are they considered designated people under the Emergencies Act,
00:37:58.160
meaning that their credit cards could be cut and financial services are targeting them as well?
00:38:02.300
Okay. So the names of both individuals and entities, as well as crypto wallets, have been shared by the RCMP with financial institutions.
00:38:18.800
And accounts have been frozen and more accounts will be frozen. Crowdfunding platforms and payment service providers
00:38:29.820
have started the registration process with FinTrack. In terms of the specifics on whose accounts are being frozen,
00:38:41.620
you now have the regulations. The financial service providers have those regulations as well.
00:38:50.960
And they, working with law enforcement, will be making the operational decisions.
00:38:56.040
Really, the important thing I wanted to show you there was her glee, her laughing.
00:39:02.920
It was a delight for her to seize and freeze family bank accounts with no legal process,
00:39:08.520
no court order, no search warrant, no hearing. Look at that laugh. She's just having the time of her life.
00:39:16.100
Her Nazi grandpa would be so proud. To me, that's the essential, Christia Freeland.
00:39:21.280
I want to show you another clip. This is from January this year, when she was attending a vigil for Persian Canadians,
00:39:31.860
Iranian Canadians, who had lost family in a terrorist attack perpetrated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
00:39:42.840
And the chutzpah of Christia Freeland showing up at this vigil when she refused to ban the IRGC was astonishing.
00:39:55.040
Public sidewalk, public event. Our reporter David actually being invited to the event.
00:40:00.740
David's clearly wearing his journalistic lanyard. He's got a cameraman there. He's got his microphone.
00:40:05.440
He's asking a question in the public interest of a public person in a public place.
00:40:11.480
He's immediately jumped by Freeland's bodyguards.
00:40:16.120
And instead of saying, no, no, no, guys, this is fine. No, it's okay.
00:40:18.980
Or even saying, make an appointment or I'll talk to you later. Or I don't have time to talk.
00:40:24.080
Instead of saying anything, she just smirks as the police physically rough up David and lie about him.
00:40:31.460
If we didn't have this on tape, David would surely be convicted of assault. Take a look.
00:40:35.780
Ms. Freeland, how come the IRGC is not a terrorist group?
00:40:40.660
Why is your government supporting Islamo-Nasso?
00:40:44.220
What? You've been mischievous. What are you doing?
00:40:47.500
You're under arrest for assault? Why are you pushing me?
00:40:54.780
Police. Police. You're under arrest for assault.
00:41:02.440
I've got my credentials here and you just bumped into me.
00:41:28.160
Okay. Because you assaulted me three years ago when blackmailed on a police officer.
00:41:54.540
That was a little bit aggressive for what was happening.
00:42:02.440
But she was just happy to let the police do to her critics what her grandpa would have done to his critics.
00:42:11.100
I see that Chad Collins, another no-name backbencher in the Liberal Party, has reissued his demand that Trudeau step down.
00:42:25.160
Chad Collins, who is from Hamilton East, Stony Creek, another nameless faceless go-nowhere backbencher, says,
00:42:34.180
In October, I signed a letter with 23 other members of parliament from across Canada asking the prime minister to step down and begin a formal process to replace him.
00:42:46.040
It's unfortunate that he declined to respond to our request.
00:42:50.360
It's obvious that Canadians across the country feel the same and want him to leave.
00:42:55.520
Today, I publicly reiterate my request that the prime minister step down and initiate a leadership process to take our country in a new direction.
00:43:09.140
Again, maybe I'm just exposing my own ignorance.
00:43:17.880
Yeah, no, I've never heard of Chad Collins before.
00:43:23.060
And this is the, you know, this is the night that either makes us or does us quite, as Shakespeare would say.
00:43:34.180
If, I understand there's a cabinet minister going on right now and I see some gossip online.
00:43:40.160
Quote, they are talking about Justin Trudeau resigning in a cabinet meeting now.
00:43:46.120
The whole party, the whole government, the whole country that follows politics is talking about it.
00:43:54.540
Now, of course they're talking about it, but they've been talking about it for weeks or months.
00:44:00.740
Now, this has really destabilized things because, really, Chrystia Freeland, who I regard as a low-talent, low-IQ individual, I'll give her this.
00:44:17.300
She would work any file, and she was a loyal soldier.
00:44:21.780
And I think she was disastrous policy-wise, but she was a worker.
00:44:29.020
And Justin Trudeau himself is a little bit lazy, I think we all know.
00:44:33.360
And just all her, like Chrystia Freeland, what Trudeau would go, and I don't know, I honestly don't know what Trudeau does with his free time.
00:44:45.920
I'm told that he reads a lot of science fiction and that he surfs the net.
00:44:54.040
I know he doesn't read his briefing notes, but Chrystia Freeland puts in the hours.
00:44:58.080
She phones, premieres, she writes memos, she reads her memos.
00:45:03.360
Just having that worker issue, that would be like not even the number two, because she was more than the number two.
00:45:13.360
Trudeau was the number one in terms of PR and glitz and profile and speechifying and image.
00:45:22.880
But there's no doubt that Chrystia Freeland was the number one in terms of doing the work, having the connections, pushing the agenda forward.
00:45:33.840
Now, Katie Telford, the chief of staff to Justin Trudeau, is obviously one step up from either of them, you might say.
00:45:41.820
But Chrystia Freeland gone has got to terrify a lot of liberal MPs if they weren't terrified already.
00:45:51.480
I give it a 50-50 chance that he's thrown out today.
00:45:56.960
It's sort of astonishing to me that he thought he could fire Chrystia Freeland from finance and have her be a good soldier.
00:46:04.840
Did he learn nothing from when he did this to Jody Wilson-Raybould, the indigenous justice minister, a couple years ago?
00:46:15.640
He fired her from justice, gave her some other job.
00:46:20.000
And when journalists said she's unhappy, he says, well, she must be happy she's still in cabinet.
00:46:25.740
And she quit at that moment to prove him wrong.
00:46:28.400
Here's a post by Jody Wilson-Raybould who said,
00:46:30.880
When the general is losing his most loyal soldiers on the eve of a tariff war, the country desperately needs a new general.
00:46:40.380
Justin Trudeau, it's time, long past time to go.
00:46:45.980
But look, Jody Wilson-Raybould has said that many times before.
00:46:50.580
She wrote a bestselling book about it, to which Trudeau would probably say, yeah, you and what army?
00:46:56.220
So I think that Trudeau is hanging on because, first of all, what else is he going to do?
00:47:04.480
They don't even think, they don't laugh at him.
00:47:08.840
Donald Trump is spending his morning welcoming a $100 billion investor and then trying to peer pressure him into making it $200 billion.
00:47:24.600
I mean, Trudeau typically gets up at the crack of 10, strolls into the office.
00:47:34.280
He, he, he, I always thought he believed that he would finish up in Canada and then get a job as the head of something at the UN.
00:47:43.320
And not NATO because Canada didn't have the reputation.
00:47:46.720
But there are some international organizations where mid-level PMs sort of waft their way up.
00:47:53.500
If you look at Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister, he's now the head of NATO.
00:48:00.340
You know, in the European Union, there's sort of those EU jobs.
00:48:08.000
I mean, maybe if he was some Chinese government shill, but I don't even know if they would have him.
00:48:21.440
The second thing is, Trudeau's dad was thrown out of office in 1979 in an election by Joe Clark, who won a minority.
00:48:33.920
And it was an ignominious end to Pierre Trudeau.
00:48:41.140
It was over a carbon tax, by the way, back then called the gasoline tax.
00:48:49.600
And he did all his sort of bucket list things in his last term.
00:48:54.060
Charter of Rights and Freedoms, really weaponizing some terrible policies, multiculturalism, spending the national energy program,
00:49:04.720
basically colonizing and nationalizing the Canadian oil and gas industry.
00:49:11.620
Pierre Trudeau was embarrassed and disgraced by losing to Joe Clark.
00:49:17.440
He came back in a year later, and he did everything he had meant to do.
00:49:22.300
Now, Pierre Trudeau is obviously a lot smarter than his son, Justin.
00:49:26.220
But Justin is not so much thinking about smart.
00:49:31.200
OK, so Pierre Trudeau was prime minister for 16 years, other than that sliver of Joe Clark in there.
00:49:40.060
So I think Justin Trudeau wanted to match his dad's 16 years.
00:49:44.860
But even if he can't, imagine being thrown out now, not in an election, but now, by Chrystia Freeland.
00:49:55.940
And this is, I think, a really important part to understanding the dynamic that's been going on in the Liberal Party for the last year, really.
00:50:04.200
All these Liberal MPs are worried about losing their seats.
00:50:09.460
Chrystia Freeland will likely win her seat because it's one of the deepest red ridings in the country.
00:50:26.400
There's just some places in Montreal and Toronto and a few other parts, but very few.
00:50:31.280
So they're all saying, I'm going to lose my job, my power, my office, my influence in the next election.
00:50:38.760
I may as well go to bat now to see if we can fix things.
00:50:42.680
But that, but they have no lever over Trudeau other than a threat.
00:50:50.740
He looks at these MPs and he says, you're only here because of me.
00:50:55.000
Like that Chad Collins, whose name I just forgot.
00:51:01.520
Do you think they were elected on their own merits, on their own name?
00:51:04.560
Chad Collins, the name you know in Hamilton East Stony Creek.
00:51:08.980
They were elected because they were on Trudeau's coattails.
00:51:17.400
And one of the things you hear from even cabinet ministers, I know Stéphane Dion said this.
00:51:22.100
Stéphane Dion, who for a while served in Trudeau's cabinet, said only one time did he get a one-on-one with Trudeau.
00:51:29.600
Like Trudeau doesn't even talk to these people.
00:51:44.140
That's why he loved going to the billionaire island in the Caribbean on his holiday.
00:51:56.240
He loved trading the friendship bracelets with teenage girls.
00:52:03.760
I am willing to bet you a dollar that Chad Collins and Francis Duran have not had a personal one-on-one conversation of more than 30 seconds with Trudeau in years.
00:52:25.840
Now, I should tell you in six minutes, Justin Trudeau is going to make a press conference.
00:52:33.200
And this is the moment that we, that I think we'll be telling.
00:52:37.760
I've just predicted to you that Trudeau stays on to fight.
00:52:51.680
Anita and Anne, you can see she was still sort of on the fence.
00:52:58.320
She didn't know how to position herself, did she?
00:53:10.420
And there's this very dramatic scene that Iago is about to make his move.
00:53:16.620
And he says, this is the night that either makes me or foredoes me quite.
00:53:35.380
Show me once in Trudeau's life where he has shown remorse, contrition.
00:53:53.320
We have to think of our legacy for a generation.
00:54:00.960
Trudeau is very good at giving apologies for other people.
00:54:04.320
On behalf of past generations or previous politicians.
00:54:11.380
Show me one time ever when he was confronted with the sexual assault of Rose Knight of Creston, B.C.
00:54:23.340
Because that would admit some flaw of some sort.
00:54:28.240
Um, I want to read a quick sponsor's ad before we go to Justin Trudeau.
00:54:40.980
And, uh, I want to tell you a little bit about coffee and freedom.
00:54:45.520
Do you enjoy the free speech that Rumble is protecting and fighting for?
00:54:48.960
Rumble being, of course, the video platform we prefer to use.
00:54:53.540
Our show on Rumble is only possible thanks to our viewers supporting Rumble's platform by purchasing Rumble's products.
00:55:02.000
That's why you have to try Rumble's 1775 coffee.
00:55:11.300
Rumble's 1775 coffee is free from chemicals, yet rich in flavor.
00:55:16.000
This is because their beans are outsourced from, sorry, are sourced from high-altitude farms in Bolivia.
00:55:21.860
Handpicked, roasted weekly at their facility in Miami, and delivered fresh to your doorstep.
00:55:27.580
And as believers in freedom, buying from Rumble helps fight back against woke corporations like Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts.
00:55:34.760
Join the coffee revolution and brew rebellion with Rumble's 1775 coffee.
00:55:48.620
And get a free month's supply of their cognitive-boosting supplement, Limitless, when you buy two bags of their coffee.
00:55:57.220
It's a crazy deal, and the supplement is worth more than the two bags of coffee.
00:56:02.900
Go to 1775coffee.com and try their amazing coffee and use the code STUDIO.
00:56:21.320
I want to show you a tweet from our friend Kat Canada over at Counter Signal.
00:56:31.180
And she says, I've never doubted that the Liberal Party is, she's quoting an MP just full delusion mode.
00:56:37.620
But this MP is terrified, but this MP is brazening it out, which tells me that Trudeau is brazening it out.
00:56:55.140
I'm a, you know, I was 12 years old when I joined the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:56:58.980
And I have never doubted a day that the Liberal Party is the strongest party in this country.
00:57:04.300
And that we will always have the leader we need at the right time.
00:57:11.640
I have said to the Prime Minister, if he wants my advice on his leadership or comments, I'll give them directly only to him.
00:57:20.880
So it's, it's, it's a, it's a day where we will, I think there's got to be some reflection going on.
00:57:26.920
And, um, I was Christian Freeland's parliamentary secretary and I have huge respect for her and I will continue to have huge respect for her.
00:57:34.820
And I'm really glad she has, her confidence is in the Liberal Party and she is going to run as a member of parliament.
00:57:39.620
Yeah, I'm not sure if it says what he thinks it's said, but he doesn't know what to do.
00:57:52.820
By the way, we have a rumble rant from Alberta Don, Five Bucks, who says,
00:57:57.140
How much of the 60 plus billion dollar deficit is going to migration?
00:58:01.600
Green donations to dictators, including China, India, to allegedly fight climate change.
00:58:07.400
What countries does his five billion pledge at COP, that's the Global Warming Conference, go to?
00:58:13.580
You know, I think that if you were to put a poll question or, better yet, a binding referendum to Canadians and said,
00:58:20.600
What amount would you like our foreign aid to be?
00:58:27.580
And I think zero would win the day overwhelmingly.
00:58:32.900
I think foreign aid is basically a transfer of wealth from working class Canadians to NGO elites and corrupt foreign dictators.
00:58:45.620
Canada's given tens of millions of dollars to the UN Relief Works Agency, which is basically a front for the Hamas terrorist group.
00:58:53.380
So, yeah, I think you're so right on those questions.
00:58:57.200
Let me get back to why I don't think Trudeau will resign.
00:59:15.620
Second of all, he hasn't, this is not the way he wants to go out.
00:59:20.140
He doesn't want to be humiliated, embarrassed, ambushed.
00:59:26.140
Chrystia Freeland, who has been loyal as a puppy dog for 10 years to Trudeau, must have felt so hurt that she said,
00:59:44.360
And I showed you some of those tweets that she posted about, we're doing this, we're going to do that, see you at the fall economic update.
00:59:51.520
And to time this in the morning of the announcement was just incredible.
00:59:56.820
Maximum damage, maximum short notice to Trudeau's people, scuppering the fall economic update.
01:00:05.720
I mean, any day that she announces she would quit would be a way that the timing itself is a weapon.
01:00:13.860
I would say that the world is watching, but they're not.
01:00:19.020
I showed you that video of a guy bringing $100 billion to Trump, and Trump's not giving him anything other than promising to make America the best place to do business.
01:00:31.540
See, in Canada, if you read that biography, I sort of rambled that biography of Chrystia Freeland from the World Economic Forum.
01:00:40.060
Chrystia Freeland has never actually done anything.
01:00:51.880
Thomson is a large Canadian-based global news company named after the Thomson family, which actually owns the Globe and Mail.
01:01:03.900
They had this high-tech thing called Reuters Next, and they put Chrystia Freeland in charge of it.
01:01:12.580
The whole thing was so cratered, they literally shut it down.
01:01:23.380
She moved on, and they just turned off the lights.
01:01:26.480
That's how bad she was at her one business exercise.
01:01:31.820
She wrote a couple of books, one of them called Plutocrats.
01:01:41.340
Remember that old Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous guy?
01:01:44.600
Can you Google that, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous?
01:01:50.520
Make sure you get the Robin Leach version, who was sort of a larger-than-life, I forget he was British or Australian.
01:01:57.380
And the show was called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, and Robin Leach would basically go from jets and yachts.
01:02:05.280
And he would, it was like a, you know, New York Post page six or the gossip section.
01:02:11.200
It would be a little bit like TMZ, except for TMZ.
01:02:13.800
The reason they're so terrifying is that they have bad news about celebs.
01:02:19.640
Robin Leach would never, ever, ever, ever, ever embarrass the rich people he hangs out with.
01:02:30.880
Given that federal regulations do not prevent the release of a special driver.
01:02:34.260
Oh, we're having a different audio stream there.
01:02:35.980
Anyhow, really what I'm saying is that Robin Leach would go around, we just had a different audio track, Olivia, we were listening to some other video that was playing.
01:02:46.860
My point I'm trying to make is that Robin Leach buttered up the world's richest people.
01:02:54.000
Never had a harsh word to say, always used the right shot to make them look as pretty as possible.
01:02:59.680
That's how he kept getting invitations to do it.
01:03:01.820
You know that when Robin Leach came, it really wasn't journalism.
01:03:07.240
You would come across looking rich and beautiful.
01:03:13.280
And, I mean, if you can play even just a minute of it, I just want to show how over the top it was.
01:03:18.620
It's just that you had different, even if you just put the video up, Olivia, even if you had a different audio, I just want to show people.
01:03:24.460
Basically, Robin Leach would go from house to house and jet to jet showing how rich people are.
01:03:35.660
And it's like he was basically, his job was to go around the world and say, ooh, ah, wow, you're so rich and famous to people.
01:03:41.780
I swear that is exactly what Chrystia Freeland's book, Plutocrats, is.
01:03:49.000
It pretends to be really tough on these billionaires, but it was a complete suck-up.
01:03:56.560
Like I say, she became George Soros' official authorized biographer.
01:04:04.240
So it's actually remarkable that she was the most accomplished of the Trudeau cabinet.
01:04:12.620
Tell me a Trudeau cabinet minister who's actually built something.
01:04:15.580
Bill Morneau, the original finance minister for Trudeau, he inherited his company from his dad.
01:04:26.760
Is there anyone in Trudeau's circle who has actually done so?
01:04:32.100
If you saw my interview with Dan Kelly of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business the other day,
01:04:37.240
we were just shaking our heads at this whole Christmas GST rebate,
01:04:44.420
that for a 60-day period, a very complex list of items are GST-free.
01:04:52.580
But then they become GST taxable again in two months.
01:04:56.580
And companies have to sort them, relabel them, reprogram their cash registers, which are all electronic.
01:05:06.280
Do this to take effect immediately and then to end immediately 60 days later.
01:05:17.000
And large companies and small companies are announcing they're just not going to do it.
01:05:20.380
I saw PepsiCo saying, we're just not going to do it.
01:05:26.300
I've seen small companies say on Facebook, we just can't do this.
01:05:30.640
We're going to shut down over the Christmas season.
01:05:32.800
Can you imagine a company shutting down over Christmas, which is when so much business is done?
01:05:37.300
And thinking about how painful and what a hassle that is for companies, I was saying to Dan Kelly,
01:05:47.680
there's obviously not a single person who worked on this policy who has ever actually run a business,
01:05:55.360
who's ever actually had to comply with paperwork,
01:05:58.580
who's ever actually been the target of red tape rather than the creator of red tape.
01:06:03.740
There was no one in Trudeau's office and Freeland's office or any of their staff or anyone else in cabinet who said,
01:06:13.060
hey, I used to run a dollar store and I'm just worried about this and that.
01:06:23.200
They're all this condescending elite squad of do-nothings who are takers, not makers,
01:06:31.460
who think you can govern by press release, who think, what did Trudeau say, that budgets balance themselves.
01:06:41.520
I'm told that Trudeau has not yet, in fact, started a press conference.
01:06:49.040
But in the meantime, I see that premiers of Canada have been asked if they have confidence in the Trudeau regime.
01:07:02.040
It's in Slack there, Olivia, the last one there.
01:07:10.100
As premiers, do you have confidence in a Trudeau government to lead Canada into a tariff war that is knocking on our door?
01:07:20.560
Well, the way I can answer that, we're going to be at the table.
01:07:24.400
All the premiers are going to be at the table, making sure that we move forward in a very constructive way,
01:07:31.540
a very collaborative way, to protect our provinces and our territories and our entire country from coast to coast to coast.
01:07:48.320
Doug Ford is actually, of all 10 premiers, actually 13 premiers, when you realize that the territories are led by a politician called Premier.
01:08:03.580
Of the 13 premiers, Doug Ford is the most pro-Trudeau of them all.
01:08:11.900
And his response to this tariffs thing has been atrocious.
01:08:16.520
Instead of saying, OK, Trump wants to fix the border.
01:08:21.580
He's all, we're going to cut off energy to America.
01:08:25.500
You don't run Alberta, which is where 99% of the energy comes from.
01:08:32.880
There's another comment this morning where I think Ford was a little bit tougher.
01:08:39.920
But Ford was at least willing to say the obvious, that it's chaos out there.
01:08:44.640
His best friend, Chrystia Freeland, is no longer in office.
01:08:49.700
Premier, I understand you spoke to Chrystia Freeland, who you have worked very closely with over these past four years,
01:08:54.780
specifically on the pandemic, EVs, many other joint initiatives between Ontario and the federal government.
01:09:00.860
And just wondering your thoughts on her sudden departure.
01:09:04.840
What is what does this chaos in Ottawa, political chaos in Ottawa, say to you guys as you're trying to develop a plan to deal with an existential threat for Mr. Trump's tariffs on January 20th?
01:09:16.040
Sorry, I did speak to Chrystia, and I just wanted to thank her for her service.
01:09:24.700
I did put her on speaker with the rest of the premiers.
01:09:27.440
We have a good relationship with Chrystia over the years.
01:09:31.880
But as a country, we have to project strength, unity, and you said the word.
01:09:41.060
It's chaos right now up in Ottawa, and it's time that what we do every single day, the premiers, we step up and we'll make sure that we tell the world that there is stability here.
01:09:57.480
Canada, and by all means, it's a great place to invest in any of our provinces or territories.
01:10:03.440
That's the message to the world, and we have a great group of premiers, very brave individuals around the table here.
01:10:14.920
I suppose there's some meaning there, but I'm sort of embarrassed that he's the go-to guy.
01:10:21.540
Francois Legault actually flew to Paris and had a quick, you know, chat with Donald Trump, and Trump said, I just want the border fixed.
01:10:32.520
Danielle Smith has taken the lead by actually deploying a border force, announcing it, funding it, giving the details of the plan.
01:10:39.180
Maybe Doug Ford doesn't know how to do anything.
01:10:49.800
I'm not sure if Doug Ford really does know how to do anything.
01:10:54.500
He inherited his business from his father, too.
01:10:58.480
I want to show, just because it fits, I want to show a speech given just a week ago or so by Justin Trudeau.
01:11:19.260
Remember, this is a guy who sexually assaulted Rose Knight, and when asked about it, he said she experienced it differently.
01:11:28.480
This is the guy who fired Jody Wilson-Raybould because she was too ethical, fired Selena Cesar Chavannes, fired his health minister, whose name I can't recall right now.
01:11:42.920
Basically, it's not wise to be a woman and disagreeing with Trudeau.
01:11:50.540
He doesn't know how to deal with women who aren't obedient.
01:11:53.320
If you want to see that personified, look at the difference when Georgia Maloney, the prime minister of Italy, meets with a regular normal leader, Javier Millet, Donald Trump, even Elon Musk.
01:12:10.520
I mean, there's someone who would be easy to play poker against.
01:12:17.800
Can you just go to Twitter and type in Maloney Musk?
01:12:33.180
I mean, yeah, there's a photo, which almost looks like they're dating.
01:12:48.760
I think that this was released by the Italian government.
01:12:51.600
Here's how Georgia Maloney is with someone she likes, respects, and can work with.
01:13:09.820
The audio is not original, but it makes it more fun.
01:13:51.880
The footage was released by the Italian government.
01:13:54.420
But someone put sort of a love song over the back of it.
01:14:02.100
When Trudeau first met Georgia Maloney, what did he say to her?
01:14:13.500
He lectured her on, yeah, that photo right there.
01:14:18.480
saying that he's outraged with Italy's anti-gay policies,
01:14:33.840
That's one of, there's so many photos of her just looking at him in disgust.
01:14:40.140
I think that may be, yeah, this one's even better.
01:14:48.900
He always sits with his knees so squished together like that.
01:14:57.540
Where were we before we went on that little Giorgio Maloney detour there?
01:15:15.240
Canada's not even at the table at many important meetings.
01:15:19.740
Like, if you recall, there were major NATO exercises in Europe recently.
01:15:25.720
Because we don't have the equipment to participate and cooperate with our fellow allies.
01:15:32.180
We don't have the, we don't have our tanks, our jets.
01:15:40.980
It's 2-17, and I'm not sure how long I can stick around.
01:15:47.120
Not that I have a lot of other important things to do.
01:15:49.600
If I would not be on the live stream, I would probably just be in my office clicking refresh on Twitter.
01:16:04.460
In his own way, he is the most stubborn person I've ever heard of.
01:16:13.100
A lot of leaders, the stubbornness is, I mean, Elon Musk is stubborn.
01:16:20.660
But just like Trudeau has never once apologized for anything, when has he ever truly backed down?
01:16:32.460
You could say that when he flew down to Mar-a-Lago to be talked to by Trump that he blinked.
01:16:39.080
In fact, I think he used that to set up this, to set up what he wants the 2025 campaign to be, which is on the one hand, to have Donald Trump as his opponent, not Pierre Polyev.
01:16:52.320
And on the other hand, when Canada's economy is wrecked by U.S. tariffs, he can blame Trump for that rather than blame himself for the mess he's put us in.
01:17:01.560
So I don't, I think Trudeau went down there, was a little bit humiliated by Trump, but it was a trick.
01:17:06.700
It was a move by which Trudeau's positioning himself.
01:17:17.360
Has he ever done anything in his entire life that would make you think he's going to resign?
01:17:31.560
One is because someone applies their moral pressure to you.
01:17:36.700
But Trudeau does not respect his MPs or his Senate or even much of his staff.
01:17:44.460
These people whose, Francis, Drouin, Chad, whatever, he barely knows their name.
01:17:58.380
He gives them as much say as he would give a household pet.
01:18:02.500
So he's not going to resign just because they say he should.
01:18:09.420
He would probably respond or have some surrogate respond on his behalf saying things like,
01:18:27.280
There would be a little bit of that entitlement.
01:18:38.820
If you listen to him, if you actually listen to him on those few occasions when he's speaking from the heart,
01:18:49.380
In the most honest thing he's ever said, please find that China is the country he most admires, Clip.
01:18:55.720
It was an unprepared, unscripted question that he totally was not ready for.
01:19:05.140
He was asked, what country besides Canada do you most admire?
01:19:09.280
And he gave an astonishingly answer, an astonishingly honest answer.
01:19:20.500
Trudeau's meeting last week with a group of Toronto women was an example.
01:19:27.060
Even with Sun TV watching for any slip, he was asked which country he most admired and referred to China.
01:19:34.140
There's a level of admiration I actually have for China.
01:19:40.280
Because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime
01:19:48.140
and say we need to go green as fast as we need to start, you know, investing in solar.
01:19:52.620
I mean, there is a flexibility that I know Stephen Harper must dream about of having a dictatorship
01:20:01.460
First of all, he gave China's answer and the basic dictatorship is why.
01:20:06.220
And then he sort of, and then he explained why because they can move on a dime without having to listen to anybody.
01:20:12.640
So he said, oh, Stephen Harper must love that power.
01:20:15.620
No, actually, Stephen Harper didn't just say he admires China's basic dictatorship.
01:20:21.240
You just were erotic for a second about your love for that authoritarianism.
01:20:25.380
And when you realized what you had done, you said, oh, and Harper would love that.
01:20:34.460
Because they're authoritarian and they don't need to respect anyone else's wishes.
01:20:38.960
And you might recall that when Castro died, Trudeau released a eulogy that was so gross that Marco Rubio, who's, what's Rubio's new role?
01:20:55.000
But that's of interest because I think he was just not, was he just nominated?
01:21:26.540
Justin Trudeau writes a eulogy that is so gross that Marco Rubio himself says that is super gross.
01:21:37.740
And guess who the new secretary of state for the United States is?
01:21:41.980
And he will obviously be confirmed because he's in the Senate.
01:21:51.160
He is, if I'm not mistaken, he's been on various committees for foreign affairs.
01:22:00.620
I don't want to get the names wrong without checking them.
01:22:05.180
Trudeau's admiration for authoritarian banana republic rulers is deep and authentic.
01:22:10.620
It's one of the few authentic things about him.
01:22:13.940
Marco Rubio, who is now tasked with affecting America's interests around the world.
01:22:18.840
Again, I say it's sort of lucky that America is not focused on Canada.
01:22:27.520
America is focused on renewing peace in the Middle East.
01:22:33.580
We are very lucky that Canada has not attracted attention more than it has.
01:22:39.180
But it looks like Trudeau wants to pick a fight with Trump.
01:22:50.860
I see rumors that, you know, MPs are expected to be in their seats.
01:22:58.320
I think if I'm not mistaken, does question period start at 2.15 p.m. like it used to do when I worked there 25 years ago?
01:23:05.380
At 2, yeah, at 2 o'clock they have what they call member statements.
01:23:10.100
And then at 2.15, if I'm not mistaken, that's when the questions begin.
01:23:23.800
Why don't you put up a stream, if you can, of question period?
01:23:33.640
The Honourable Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
01:23:39.440
Mr. Speaker, at a time when Canadians are struggling, we are happy to...
01:23:48.680
...that took place starting this past Saturday, going until February 15th.
01:23:54.720
And while the Conservative leader and the members of his caucus stay focused on us,
01:24:15.280
After the Finance Minister's resignation this morning,
01:24:19.040
automatically the Industry Minister became Minister of Finance.
01:24:29.240
After him, in the line of precedence, it was the two Randys.
01:24:38.560
Minister, just a couple of minutes before the fall economic statement will be presented.
01:24:53.660
The Honourable Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
01:24:58.700
As I said, our government is looking forward to presenting the fall economic statement later this afternoon.
01:25:12.940
One of the absolute worst zombies in the government.
01:25:15.960
Someone who has risen far below her talent level in this government.
01:25:24.180
Mr. Speaker, just to underline the chaos we're faced with here,
01:25:28.640
the Finance Minister resigned the day she was to present the fall budget,
01:25:33.740
which was going to contain a massive deficit overrun.
01:25:37.580
The job then went automatically to the Industry Minister,
01:25:46.440
and the next person in order was the famous two Randys.
01:25:53.040
We're now less than two hours away from the fall economic update.
01:25:56.960
Why won't the Prime Minister have the courage to come in here,
01:25:59.340
present it himself, and put it for a confidence vote tonight?
01:26:05.920
Did I hear him say that François-Philippe Champagne has resigned?
01:26:16.840
I would like to remind all members, as I did during statements today,
01:26:23.180
for members to be careful not to refer to other sitting members by their names,
01:26:27.560
but to use their titles or to use surviving names.
01:26:30.540
The Honourable Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
01:26:36.300
Well, Mr. Speaker, while the Leader of the Opposition continues to play politics in this place,
01:26:42.800
we look forward to presenting the fall economic statement later this afternoon
01:26:48.400
that will have a series of important measures for Canadians.
01:26:52.640
Things that are going to help them with the affordability challenges,
01:26:55.820
that are going to put Canada, Canadian jobs, and the Canadian economy first.
01:27:04.540
I would like to ask the Honourable Member from St. Albert, Edmonton,
01:27:09.460
to please not take the floor when he is not recognized by the Speaker.
01:27:26.640
We already knew that between 20 and 40 Liberal MPs no longer had confidence in the Prime Minister.
01:27:32.680
We also knew that eight ministers would be jumping ship.
01:27:36.140
Today, the Minister of Finance decided to step down instead of presenting the fall economic statement.
01:27:41.880
She wrote, black and white, that she disagrees with the Prime Minister on the best path forward for Canada.
01:27:47.700
So, she has also taken away her confidence in the Prime Minister.
01:27:51.920
We are watching this government, this Liberal government, fall apart, and it's pretty ugly to see.
01:28:09.000
And I would like to thank my colleague for his question.
01:28:11.320
As I mentioned, as a government, we are looking forward to presenting the fall economic statement later this afternoon.
01:28:20.740
There are important measures in there for Canadians.
01:28:28.540
Most of the questions are going to Karina Gould.
01:28:33.380
I won't say she is a no-name backbencher, but it just shows you how modest and how thin the front bench is in the Liberal government.
01:28:45.300
I want to show you a very quick clip of Pierre Polyev.
01:28:48.480
I think I said earlier that François-Philippe Champagne resigned as industry minister.
01:28:53.020
He just declined to pick up the mantle of the finance minister.
01:28:57.940
Here's Pierre Polyev making remarks to that effect.
01:29:05.380
The moment the finance minister resigned, the government's published order of precedent meant that François-Philippe Champagne instantaneously became the finance minister.
01:29:17.740
But now, he tells us he doesn't have the job and doesn't want the job.
01:29:21.940
So it goes to the next minister who is on the published order of precedent, and that is Randy Wozno, more commonly known as the two Randys, the gentleman who had to resign because he falsely claimed he was Indigenous, falsely claimed that there were more than one Randy when it was all him and all in his head.
01:29:41.400
And he is now technically our finance minister as we speak.
01:29:46.940
We don't know for sure, though, if he'll still be finance minister in three and a half hours when the scheduled fall economic update is expected to land.
01:29:56.680
Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that economic update.
01:29:59.880
My guess is they're just going to publish it online.
01:30:02.000
I'm not sure if there's even a legal requirement for it to be spoken by a human being, and it looks like no one wants that.
01:30:11.160
Here's an interesting idea that Pierre Pauly had mentioned in the same press conference.
01:30:16.140
Canada, the Canadian government is in chaos right now.
01:30:20.500
And maybe it's a good idea to hit the reset button before Donald Trump assumes office on January 20th.
01:30:28.520
Is it possible that you'll have to go on with that?
01:30:30.500
Will the election itself need to take place before January the 20th when the catastrophic 25% tariff is slated to come into effect?
01:30:39.820
It would be ideal to have the election done before the president takes office or within the first week or two of his mandate,
01:30:48.020
so that he would have – so the Canadians would have a strong prime minister with the brains and backbone, the strength and smarts to stand up for Canada facing down President Trump and our American competitors.
01:31:05.020
To be clear, to be clear, do you think there is –
01:31:15.000
I think there's a seven – sorry, a five-week minimum campaign.
01:31:24.620
It is December 16th right now, 31 days in December.
01:31:32.240
So add 35, that's 41 minus – so I've just confused myself.
01:31:41.420
But I think that if the election were called literally today, it would not be done in time for January 20th.
01:31:47.040
If literally the writ were dropped today and that just can't happen.
01:31:51.100
I don't even know where the government general is.
01:31:54.080
And right now, even though everyone's up in an uproar, the liberals seem to be in their seats applauding.
01:32:01.660
I mean, they look like ashes, but I don't think Justin Trudeau is going to quit.
01:32:11.940
Show me one thing he's ever done that shows he's a quitter.
01:32:18.400
Now, many of the fights he's fought in have been rigged to his advantage.
01:32:24.260
Yeah, let's listen to – it looks like we got Philippe Champagne on his feet.
01:32:28.620
It's time, Mr. Speaker, to work together as parliamentarians to defend Canada, to invest in Canada,
01:32:36.600
to defend our workers, to invest in our industry.
01:32:40.460
And, Mr. Speaker, I call on all members of this House to do their civic duty to work for the good of Canada
01:32:48.000
so that we can face the incoming American administration.
01:32:51.480
Mr. Speaker, today we are all Canadians. Let's work together.
01:32:58.620
Mr. Speaker, the NDP leader is absolutely right.
01:33:14.280
And now we face troubling tariff threats from a president who can see weakness coming from a mile away.
01:33:22.360
The prime minister must leave this job, but there's only one person who can remove him, and that's the leader of the NDP.
01:33:31.500
Will he put the country ahead of his pension and vote for a carbon tax election now?
01:33:56.920
interesting uh i want to read uh a letter a rumble rant from craig mcdonald that is so spot on
01:34:05.940
craig i hope you don't mind i'm gonna tweet it craig gives 10 bucks and says if trudeau resigns
01:34:13.720
today or the government falls on a confidence motion in the next vote how much can we attribute
01:34:20.100
to trump's tariff tweet craig i think you were spot on i think that's what set things in motion
01:34:27.220
that's when the dominoes started to fall here's melissa landsman let's take a listen
01:34:31.480
those are her quotes this after her own political rival mark carney wrote the fall economic statement
01:34:36.860
full of things that she didn't want to present the old boys club isn't in charge canadians are
01:34:41.980
and it's time for credible leadership in the seriousness of this moment not the fake feminism
01:34:46.840
of this phony prime minister it's time for canadians decide to decide so will anyone
01:34:54.260
the honorable leader of the government in the house of comus
01:35:00.460
thank you mr speaker as i mentioned earlier we are looking forward today to presenting the fall
01:35:06.060
economic statement that is going to have a series of important measures for canadians at a time like
01:35:12.180
this it is important that all of us band together united as canadians to make sure that we are doing
01:35:18.700
everything we can to protect the canadian economy protect canadian jobs and to stand up for canada
01:35:25.260
thank you mr speaker boy they're not having a fun time on the liberal benches are they
01:35:30.380
mr speaker they can't even stand by each other hours before delivering the fiscal update the finance
01:35:36.560
minister resigned she lost confidence in the prime minister last night the failed housing minister
01:35:42.060
and the worst immigration minister in the history of this country also resigned a couple of randy's
01:35:47.580
and now they're up to nine ministers that need to be replaced he's lost control of the government
01:35:52.580
the party of backroom boys is over the backbench should look up from their laptops and the ndp leader
01:35:58.180
shouldn't be the only one in this house with confidence in the prime minister present the statement
01:36:04.460
again i'm just going to uh for the last time order
01:36:24.680
i'm going to ask the members once again to remind themselves not to refer to members by their first
01:36:30.940
name the honorable uh minister for housing infrastructure and community now mr speaker
01:36:37.300
i'm not sure who she's talking about but i'm still here for now i can guarantee you mr speaker
01:36:43.080
that there are two kinds of people who run for office and politics there are people who want to
01:36:49.020
do something and there are people who want to be somebody and i can tell you on our side of the house
01:36:53.960
we want to do things we want to build the houses to make sure families can afford people over their heads
01:36:59.400
we want to make sure families can afford to keep their food on the table to feed their kids
01:37:03.480
we want to make sure people can find a job to go to that gives them a sense of pride
01:37:07.260
and allows them to contribute to their communities on the conservative side
01:37:10.540
their guy has been writing essays about why he should be prime minister since he was a teenager
01:37:14.660
the honorable member for calgary nose hill on friday prime minister told canada's first female finance
01:37:26.680
minister but she was fired but to keep sweet and present their wildly overspent budget on monday so
01:37:32.600
that he and an unelected man mark carbon tax carney wouldn't have to take the plane the blame for their
01:37:38.340
broken budget he then unbothered released a video of him making cinnamon buns to get the women folks
01:37:44.420
vote how can any woman in that caucus defend that man instead of calling for an election now
01:37:57.380
the honorable leader of the government in the house of commerce
01:38:03.380
thank you mr speaker i didn't realize cinnamon buns were a gendered food but
01:38:07.380
what i would say is that her uh question says more about how that member and conservative members
01:38:15.860
view women in this country than anything else thank you mr speaker
01:38:27.220
are facing violence in the streets they can't afford groceries they can't afford to buy presents for their
01:38:32.420
kids for the holidays they can't afford anything canadian women are far worse off under this fake
01:38:39.700
feminist prime minister and now he fired canada's first female prime uh finance minister because she
01:38:47.140
dared question him that sounds pretty familiar no strong woman exists in that caucus why would any woman
01:38:54.740
defend this man instead of calling for an election
01:39:04.020
the honorable leader of the government in the house of commerce you know mr speaker i have a lot of respect
01:39:09.300
for that member opposite but i think she's speaking from her own experience with the leader of the
01:39:13.700
official opposition when she said that she wasn't going to support him and then spent a year in the
01:39:18.260
hinterlands mr speaker what i will say is that when it comes to actually doing things that support
01:39:24.660
women we have done that on this side of the house whether it's affordable child care as it is making
01:39:29.700
it possible for hundreds of thousands of women to join the workforce making contraceptions free
01:39:34.980
or the canada child benefit that is helping families pay the bills and what do conservative
01:39:38.900
members of parliament do every time they vote against them so actions speak louder than words mr speaker
01:39:43.540
you know this is interesting and all but uh the the only really important thing is that
01:39:54.660
justin trudeau is not there um if he were to resign he would probably
01:40:04.020
do it on his own timing perhaps in a tv address or a statement of some sort
01:40:09.300
he wouldn't do it in a rushed way in question period just hours after the bombshell of freeland's
01:40:22.820
why would he resign because the liberals want him to so what he looks down on them he has contempt for
01:40:28.580
them he thinks they don't deserve him he's the guy who got them their jobs because it's in the national
01:40:35.220
interest well that's if you think he's a patriot who puts the national interest ahead of his own
01:40:40.740
personal interest he doesn't uh we have no one less than christian freeland herself who says as much
01:40:46.900
in her resignation letter accusing trudeau putting himself first
01:40:53.300
would he do it because there's media pressure to step down he has contempt for the media as uh just as
01:41:00.420
much as as pierre polyev does he just expresses it in a different way
01:41:06.500
i don't know if it was ever recorded on video olivio i don't know if you'd be able to find it but
01:41:11.220
pierre trudeau famously said that mps are nobody's a hundred feet off parliament hill i don't know if
01:41:19.780
that was a print statement probably because back there everything was not video ubiquitous but pierre
01:41:25.060
trudeau had such contempt for his own mps that he said and i think there's some wisdom to it
01:41:32.020
and peter nobody's a hundred feet off the hill like who are they
01:41:39.140
all trudeau cares about is winning and feeling good and quitting is not winning and quitting is not
01:41:46.500
feeling good sure he's stressed out by how things are going but he's never been one to sweat the details
01:41:52.980
i noticed that jagmeet singh had indicated that he wants trudeau to resign sure and i want a pony
01:42:02.260
but is singh actually going to do the one thing that would get trudeau to resign which is to call a
01:42:09.220
confidence vote here's uh jagmeet singh take a listen right now canadians are struggling with the cost
01:42:16.260
of living i hear it everywhere i go people cannot find a home that they can afford they can't buy their
01:42:21.780
groceries and on top of that we have trump threatening tariffs at 25 which put hundreds and
01:42:28.820
thousands of canadian jobs at risk and instead of focusing on these issues justin trudeau and
01:42:35.140
the liberals are focused on themselves they're fighting themselves instead of fighting for
01:42:38.820
canadians for that reason today i'm calling on justin trudeau to resign he has to go will you
01:42:44.740
declare no confidence in the liberal government as soon as possible all tools all options are on the
01:42:51.220
table people are hurting that's a no people are struggling and so all options are on the table
01:42:56.020
that means no that means no you're calling for him to resign but you are not willing to vote no
01:43:01.140
confidence in his government how does those how do those two things connect all options are on the
01:43:06.180
table oh my god oh my god for your support with the liberals though how can you say he needs to
01:43:12.820
resign but then you're not telling us what you're going to do for non-confidence telling you that all
01:43:17.060
options are on the table right will you support the fez and also are you willing to continue to
01:43:22.820
support the liberals if there is a different leader aside from because all options are right now that's
01:43:27.460
not in front of us there's no votes in front of us but we will take each vote and right now
01:43:31.220
literally everything's on the table okay mr saying that all options are on the table so why are you
01:43:37.860
holding out the option to still support this government i understand why because he doesn't
01:43:42.020
get his pension unless he's in parliament a few more weeks but why are you still holding out the
01:43:46.420
option what is the glimmer of hope that six letters seven letters we support the fez or possibly support
01:43:51.460
this government in some other way depends on the votes and so i want to make it very clear
01:43:55.380
justin trudeau has to go he has to resign and because of that all options are on the table
01:44:01.220
and we'll look at each vote and we'll make a decision but now all options are on the table
01:44:09.620
behind you is a parliament the government continues to govern as long as mps continue to have confidence
01:44:17.380
in the government you have no say over who the leader of the liberal party is
01:44:22.340
will you support the government or are you withdrawing your support from the government
01:44:29.780
with respect to that i've said that all options are on the table oh my god that means everything
01:44:34.260
is possible i'm so embarrassed give me what we've seen okay you know he's just gonna repeat that i am
01:44:39.540
i am truly embarrassed let me translate in case you're having trouble figuring out what he really
01:44:45.060
means maybe he's not done actually let me take that back he's not dumb anyone who treats him seriously
01:44:51.620
is dumb anyone who thinks he's going to answer a question is dumb he was asked five times will you
01:44:57.700
vote against him and what was his answer all options are on the table which is what he always says when
01:45:09.540
i'm deeply embarrassed for singh and also for the journalists who go through the motions with him
01:45:14.660
wow that's your answer right there and frankly that's what trudeau is going to say to the mps he's
01:45:22.900
going to say we have the power to continue jagmeet singh has given us the power to continue we have
01:45:29.460
unfinished business and instead of having a crash election right now at the choosing of christia
01:45:36.500
freeland and to the delight of peer polyev let us have an election in three six nine months where we
01:45:43.940
basically slow roll the launch soft launch the campaign right now you know what that if i was trudeau
01:45:54.340
that's what i would say i would say look there will be an election soon whether it's immediately
01:46:02.980
in one month three months or six months which do you think is more likely to be successful for you
01:46:12.100
hasty now over christmas on this disastrous note where christia freeland has defined the terms
01:46:20.100
or should we have a comeback in 2025 fight for canada against donald trump demonize pierre polyev
01:46:28.500
we're defending the country and go out in a blaze of glory either way there will be an election the
01:46:35.700
question is which timing is more felicitous to the backbench mp and of course it extends trudeau's
01:46:44.260
power by days or weeks or months but i think you could make the case if you were a crass liberal
01:46:51.780
pragmatist that calling an election just the week or so before christmas because christia
01:46:58.100
freeland is mad at you is not the best timing it doesn't even make sense so i think trudeau could
01:47:04.260
negotiate his way through this first of all he doesn't even have to so far other than christia
01:47:10.980
freeland who has stomped out okay francis drew and you ever heard of him before today me neither that
01:47:17.460
guy chad you know um trudeau wasn't the trudeau why would trudeau go to question period it's not
01:47:23.540
like he answers questions anyways he's got better things to do we'll see i mean all of this is sort
01:47:29.620
of funny because i just last week launched my new book called trudeau's secret plan well what he'll do
01:47:35.540
to us if he wins again do you have do you have the little video clip of that let's end on that now
01:47:41.620
um i knew that trudeau was in trouble i didn't know it would be so soon and i'm not going to
01:47:47.700
pretend that my books what did it but the book did uh make it to the amazon bestseller list within a day
01:47:53.380
of being listed do you have the uh the video from trudeau's secret plan i just want to give you a
01:47:59.380
little taste of the book which you can order right now and um i tell you we are in interesting times
01:48:05.300
but there is nothing that i know about trudeau's personality that would make him say sure for the
01:48:10.340
interests of my fellow mps and in the interests of my country i'm going to step down now why would
01:48:16.100
he do that he's never done that in his life um he disrespects the country and his mps he's all about
01:48:24.900
power and there are many people who have a lot at stake here besides the mps the chinese government
01:48:31.220
for example the iranian government for example think of all the people who are really betting on on trudeau
01:48:36.980
and and their fate is wrapped up with his all right here's a quick uh look at my book video for
01:48:42.740
trudeau's secret plan take a look my new book is out it's called trudeau's secret plan what he'll do
01:48:51.940
to us if he wins again it's the sequel to my 2019 bestseller the libranos what the media won't tell you
01:48:59.620
about justin trudeau's corruption by the way trudeau is still prosecuting me for that book claiming it was
01:49:06.180
illegal campaign interference i was in the federal court of appeal just last month and trudeau had
01:49:11.620
four government lawyers with four assistants arrayed against me he really has a thin skin
01:49:18.500
well he's not gonna like this book either i'll tell you that back in 2019 trudeau's mask still
01:49:24.100
hadn't slipped off for most people many ordinary canadians still bought into his image as a friendly
01:49:30.900
modern open-minded guy i don't think that a lot of people believe that anymore not even his own mps
01:49:36.900
not even his own wife he's only in it for himself he's a narcissist he's an authoritarian bully he's a
01:49:43.940
sociopath who only cares about power who only cares about himself and that's the theme in this book trudeau's
01:49:52.580
down in the polls but he'll do anything to survive trudeau is more desperate than ever he's more
01:49:58.740
corrupt than ever he's more angry than ever and he's more determined than ever to hold on to power
01:50:04.420
at all costs what happens if he actually pulls it off trudeau's secret plan weaves together different
01:50:10.660
threads of trudeau's obsessions from financial corruption to globalism to his complex censorship
01:50:18.100
schemes back into a corner trudeau has never been more dangerous this book is a must read
01:50:25.220
for anyone who cares about canada and wants to stop trudeau from destroying it it's a quick read
01:50:31.220
but it's jammed full of footnotes so you can check any fact you like that's important because if you've
01:50:37.540
been relying on trudeau's cbc state broadcaster to tell you the truth about him well a lot of this book
01:50:43.780
will come as a shocking surprise to you so get trudeau's secret plan right now it's for sale on
01:50:51.700
amazon.ca or the special website we've set up at trudeau's secret plan.com it's just 2199 and it
01:50:59.780
ships super fast pretty much next day get the book now and get one for your liberal friends too if you
01:51:07.700
have any here at rebel news we tell the other side of the story let the cbc write daily love
01:51:14.100
letters to their boss trudeau but to find out the truth the truth of the cbc won't tell you you've
01:51:21.060
got to buy this book go to trudeau's secret plan.com or amazon today i made that video last week
01:51:30.580
the book rolled out you want to show the amazon page just so people can see it
01:51:34.260
little did i know that as that book was going out christia freeland had hatched her plan
01:51:44.740
to detonate justin trudeau i mean boy did she scheme and she kept a secret didn't she there was
01:51:50.740
no inkling of what she would do how what's the ranking on that book it hit number 10 the other day
01:51:58.260
but i think it sagged down a bit you know how to find that by scrolling down a little bit
01:52:07.460
what's the likelihood that trudeau will continue on i think he's uh gonna hold on for your life
01:52:14.260
what's the likelihood that he wins the next election i think he's gonna lose the next election
01:52:19.460
you know if you if you um anyhow if you if you go on the actual book page itself and then scroll down
01:52:26.020
to the publisher's data it'll tell you the ranking so yeah so a little bit further down
01:52:36.420
so just put that on the screen so everyone can see i'm just curious myself
01:52:43.380
so it's the number one political book in canada that's great what is it in the general rankings
01:52:48.420
don't worry about it i'll check later i'm just excited the book got out before he was fired
01:52:57.300
so to recap trudeau is in trouble but you could say he was in trouble from his very first day
01:53:04.660
i mean despite the massive media advantage he had never what is the highest percentage of vote he ever
01:53:11.620
got was it even 40 percent in his uh 19 election he squeaked by again in 2021 he actually got less
01:53:21.940
votes than the conservatives and right now he would be trounced if polls hold up but so what
01:53:28.900
he's never blinked he never says die um he's got a deep confidence in himself and yet can you
01:53:38.740
don't worry about the book bestseller list anymore can you can you find that clip of trudeau
01:53:44.980
and his then wife sophie at the boxing match when she says be humble and he says baby i was made for
01:53:52.020
this can you find that clip there's a lot in that clip his confidence in himself his belief that he's
01:53:59.060
underestimated um his never say that that's the clip right there yeah blow that up and put the
01:54:05.060
put the audio up she tells him to be humble i don't think either of those two know what that word
01:54:11.540
means just take a look i was put on this planet to do this this is this is i i fight and i win
01:54:35.380
be humble yeah you fight from a good place now i maybe but i think it's more from a place of
01:54:42.420
narcissism and authoritarianism and the supreme sense of uh well he has a great admiration he's
01:54:50.020
his greatest admirer he is his own biggest fan and um he i mean he was born on christmas day
01:54:57.940
december 25th and i think he maybe thinks he's got a bit of a a prophetic destiny in him he's the
01:55:04.260
chosen one the precious one i was put on this earth to do this i fight and i win
01:55:10.100
if you were brutally honest you would have to say that has been more true than untrue he won the
01:55:17.380
liberal leadership he won a majority government right off the bat he he won against two conservatives
01:55:23.860
after that andrew shear and erin o'toole and is he gonna step aside because people he plucked from
01:55:31.460
obscure again put yourself in his shoes who had ever heard of christia freeland before trudeau
01:55:44.020
author a generic author who ran a company in the ground in new into the ground in new york city and
01:55:50.740
basically sold out to george soros and said all right i'll i'll write your book for you
01:55:55.140
that was who she was no one had heard of her other than some obscure circles trudeau made christia
01:56:04.020
freeland have you ever heard of karina gould before have you ever heard of francois philippe
01:56:08.900
champagne before melanie jolie was like a local politician who has been clearly promoted far beyond her
01:56:15.860
abilities trudeau looks at these people and knows that he gave them the hand out you ever heard of
01:56:22.500
a reef verani before this look at donald trump and how he selected his cabinet i mean
01:56:30.420
spectacular leaders from around the world whether it's elon musk or uh robert f kennedy jr or you know the
01:56:39.620
the head of cantor fitzgerald as his commerce secretary marco rubio for foreign you know foreign
01:56:45.940
secretary um harmeet dylan perhaps america's leading civil liberties lawyer the deputy attorney general
01:56:54.100
i mean if you you can disagree with some of his picks of course but a lot of trump's people now
01:57:00.100
remember americans can choose their cabinet from anyone in the world they're not just choosing
01:57:04.020
from the 435 congressmen that would really limit the choices but trudeau can accurately say i created
01:57:12.500
you i invented you i gave life to your campaign i gave you power i gave you everything and now you're
01:57:18.340
turning on me even jagmeet singh won't turn on me but you do because that ingrate that ungrateful christia
01:57:26.260
freeland um detonated on us all we will have an election he could say but it won't be right now
01:57:34.980
on the timing of her choice it'll be in the timing of my choice and of our choice he might say and
01:57:40.580
let's give it a good run and let's use donald trump as our foil and let's see the best we can do and
01:57:45.620
maybe we'll just pull it off i don't know what's the alternative i mean because that's the thing
01:57:52.740
let's say that let's say that christia freeland and the other rebels had their way right now
01:58:01.380
and an election was called right now justin trudeau is the candidate going into the polls
01:58:10.260
they're going to get absolutely detonated so they're not even so christia freeland
01:58:16.260
will not be the leader mark carney will not be the leader melanie joly
01:58:20.260
francois philippe champaign they they will not be the leader in this next election imagine this
01:58:26.340
quarreling in in an election campaign trudeau might say all right we'll take it and then maybe in the
01:58:36.100
summer he'll resign on his own terms and then let the party choose a successor and then watch that
01:58:41.940
successor explode and crash and burn but seriously i mean i think trudeau has been the worst prime
01:58:49.780
minister since his father and in some ways more damaging i think his mass immigration has had a
01:58:57.300
permanent deleterious effect of this country that we may never become recover from um
01:59:08.260
i want him gone i think he has eroded our canadian identity he's recorded eroded the sovereignty of our
01:59:16.340
parliament he's a atrocious globalist he's an environmental cultist he's an obscene censor these
01:59:22.180
are all the things i talk about in my book trudeau's secret plan but if i go through the the thought
01:59:27.940
exercise of saying what would i say to my caucus if i were him and what might the caucus be open to
01:59:39.300
i think if i said do you want an election right now over christmas or do you want one in a more
01:59:42.980
orderly fashion when we can put together a proper pre-writ campaign is doesn't that make more sense
01:59:48.500
they're going to have there will be an election within the next 12 months jagmeet singh is so loyal
01:59:54.580
i tell you ladies get yourself a man as loyal as jagmeet singh get yourself a man as forgiving
02:00:01.700
as jagmeet singh ladies you can do anything when you got yourself a jagmeet singh in your corner
02:00:06.740
blow up the credit card no worries have an infidelity or other indiscretion no worries all
02:00:14.980
choices all options are on the table is there anything he won't abide is there any humiliation
02:00:23.380
he won't say well i'm opposed to this but i'm going to think about it a little bit oh my god if only i
02:00:31.620
had uh well you wouldn't want a friend like jagmeet singh because he you one of the things we value in
02:00:38.420
friends is that they have the courage and the candor to tell you when you're wrong isn't that frankly
02:00:43.140
the only people who you trust to tell you you're wrong are your friends because you know they have
02:00:47.460
your interests at heart and and you know not to take it as a personal slight what use is a friend like
02:00:54.980
jagmeet singh oh my god he is at least the number two story of the day uh but that's i think i'm
02:01:04.100
going to wrap it there we've been doing the live stream for two hours it's been a pleasure to be on
02:01:08.500
here and i want to read one more message from our friends at rumble you know in today's society it's
02:01:16.100

02:01:28.340

appreciate that you know it's a festival of lights and i gotta tell you being a jew in canada is one of
02:03:44.500
the best places in the world to be a jew but these days it's a little bit tough because there's this
02:03:48.900
anti-semitic crime wave and of course the terrible news from overseas and even in my own neighborhood
02:03:54.260
of armor heights there's this insane pro-hamas protest every week and as you know i went there
02:03:59.380
there and the police arrested me uh for being on the sidewalk he said my mere presence was uh inciting
02:04:07.620
others to breach the peace just atrocious so it's nice uh to receive a friendly message of happy
02:04:14.500
hanukkah and i will and um here's hoping that 2025 is a year of peace and freedom and prosperity and
02:04:24.580
justice a year where justin trudeau is relegated to the history books and canada can go down the
02:04:30.820
path of rejuvenation and renovation rededication to our values and just as it is being said throughout
