Summary

Sheila Gunn-Reed and Lise Merle are back after a long break, and they have a lot to talk about after watching the French-language debate last night. They discuss what Mark Carney said, why it's a good thing Chrystia Freeland didn't get booed, and why we should be mad at the media for covering it.

00:00:30.000 Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody. And welcome to our daily show now, Rebel Roundup.
00:00:43.380 I'm your regular host, Sheila Gunn-Reed. And joining us is our midweek co-host, my friend
00:00:50.680 from Regina, Saskatchewan, broadcaster, author, prickly pear when the NDP show up on her front lawn,
00:00:58.120 and Lise Merle. Lise, how's it going, buddy? I haven't seen you in, I don't know, 48 hours.
00:01:04.460 48 hours we've been apart. Did we ever have a great weekend? Well, hello, my beloved Sheila Gunn-Reed,
00:01:09.520 and hello, Rebel fam. Do we ever have a smoke show of a lineup for you guys today? And it's just the
00:01:16.980 best. Check it in on the list going, oh, we're going to have a lot to gnaw on today. So yeah,
00:01:23.220 super excited to be here again. Yeah, if we're not careful, this is going to be a two-hour show.
00:01:28.120 Because the liberal debate, the French language debate, was last night. And it was just a lot of
00:01:36.860 people agreeing with each other on the stage, which is generally not how a debate is supposed to go.
00:01:42.280 But there were some things that were said on the stage that were, I think, inadvertently truthful
00:01:49.520 from Mark Carney, and then completely made up from Chrystia Freeland. Because she's got a clip there
00:01:57.280 that of all the things that didn't happen on that stage last night, that one didn't happen the most,
00:02:01.420 it is. Like, it was real bad. But we'll get to that. I'll tell everybody how they can get involved
00:02:07.260 in the show and support the, I think, really important work that we do here at Rebel News,
00:02:11.140 especially talking about the topics and the things that the mainstream media would love,
00:02:18.160 love to gloss over. For example, this Carney business that we'll get to in a second from
00:02:22.260 last night's French language debate, the media, they're already explaining it away. And that's
00:02:26.700 not what the media is supposed to do. They're supposed to hold politicians to account, not act
00:02:30.300 as press secretaries for them. So that's what we do here at Rebel News. We are giving you our hot takes,
00:02:37.020 our spicy takes, our cold takes. And we want to hear from you too. So if you are watching us on
00:02:43.120 Rumble, thank you for supporting a great free speech platform where you will get the uncensored
00:02:48.880 version of Rebel News. So if you want to support us on Rumble, you can leave us a Rumble rant. If
00:02:55.020 your Rumble rant is over the $5 U.S. cutoff, we are obligating ourselves to read it and address it on
00:03:00.140 air. But don't let that be the bar for entry. If we have time, we will do our best to get to the
00:03:05.560 ones that are under that $5 U.S. cutoff as well. And as you know, every little bit helps because
00:03:09.800 we'll never take a penny from Justin Trudeau. And how could we ever hold him to account? If we did,
00:03:14.400 it would taint all the work that we ever did going forward. And well, just make us a bunch of
00:03:20.200 just, well, inadvertent press secretaries. And if you are watching us on YouTube, we are now
00:03:28.940 re-monetized over there, thanks to some hard detailed work by the editorial team at Rebel News.
00:03:36.180 So you can leave us a super chat over there. And I think after the fact, if you missed the live
00:03:41.060 stream, you can leave us a super thanks. And again, same rules apply over the $5 U.S. cutoff.
00:03:47.100 We'll read it on air. It's under that. Thank you so much. We'll do our best to get to it. So
00:03:51.180 very busy day, real tightly rolled cabbage roll of a day today. There's a lot of things stuffed inside
00:03:57.540 of it. French language debate last night. And I think watching these things, it's important,
00:04:04.800 French versus English, because Mark Carney has a real history of saying one thing in French
00:04:10.680 and another thing in English, right? Like he says, oh, I support pipelines now after like dancing on
00:04:16.200 the grave of Northern Gateway. But then when he's doing French language interviews, he says, oh, but
00:04:21.260 I would definitely give you folks a veto over a pipeline. So which one is it?
00:04:25.720 Uh, carbon tax Carney, you got to pick a lane, but let us never forget that even though this
00:04:31.300 appears to be a bit of a coronation with Mark Carney, uh, Freeland is still in the mix here.
00:04:37.080 And, uh, she said that she, well, I'll just let her tell the story. Um, and she wants us to believe
00:04:43.880 that nobody else in this country has any experience with preschoolers who definitely didn't say the
00:04:50.080 things that she's saying here. Let's watch. A few weeks ago in Saskatoon, I met a little four-year-old
00:05:00.360 girl. She asked me whether I could prevent Trump from invading our country.
00:05:08.760 And that's why I am standing to lead the liberal party and to become the next prime minister of
00:05:20.020 Canada. Trump represents the greatest threat to Canada since World War II. He is threatening us
00:05:31.380 with an economic war and that's nothing new. The last time that he was president, he threatened us
00:05:38.140 too. And at the end of the day, I succeeded in protecting our economy. But this time Trump's
00:05:45.120 threats are worse. He wants to turn Canada into the 51st state and it's no joke. That is why he is
00:05:55.160 supporting Vladimir Putin's criminal attempt to redraw Ukraine's borders. Trump wants to redraw our
00:06:03.680 borders too. We need a leader who understand the seriousness of these challenges and how to face
00:06:09.960 them. A leader that can respond and defend everyone in our wonderful country. I will fight for us.
00:06:19.200 I will fight for Canada. And together, we will win.
00:06:26.600 I'll let you go first, since you have more kids than I do and more experience with four-year-olds.
00:06:33.240 Now listen, not to say that she made that story up, but she 100% made that story up.
00:06:40.840 Completely.
00:06:41.140 Because no four-year-old on the face of the earth gives a single care or even knows about
00:06:47.880 geopolitical events to this level, right? And what mother in their right mind would say,
00:06:54.300 now gather round children, I have some terrible news. Donald Trump is like Hitler and is going to
00:07:02.880 try and destroy Canada. Nobody does that to their kids. And this is like, it just goes to show you
00:07:10.420 how disconnected Christia Freeland is from the rest of the country, from the normal people in the
00:07:16.280 country. Because she honestly thinks that we would believe that this story actually happened.
00:07:24.020 And I tell you one thing, she even named the kid. Okay. She even named the kid. She even gave the kid
00:07:30.200 a name. And everybody in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with a kid with that name is now going,
00:07:35.620 that didn't happen. Not me. Not it. Not mine. Not it. But, but yeah, the way that she,
00:07:42.620 the way that she sort of like the doomsplaining, the doomsplaining. We've had no bigger threat
00:07:48.360 since World War II. I don't think this is quite the same. And redrawing borders. I think this is
00:07:55.940 really interesting. At my front door, I have a, I have a vintage school map. You remember the old
00:08:01.320 school maps that you could pull down and they had the fancy overlays, if you were really lucky.
00:08:06.140 I keep one at my front door and it's of, it's of all of Europe. And it shows the old geopolitical
00:08:12.420 borders of Europe and, and how they changed post, post Soviet Union. And borders are redrawn all the
00:08:20.880 time. All the time. This is what happens in the world. And so to say, to sort of hearken that
00:08:26.820 to World War II level threat, anybody, any politician that's real worried about this,
00:08:32.640 okay, that's real, real worried and putting a great big, you know, big, great big red warning
00:08:37.200 flag on it is somebody who is in on the take. And the only thing that they're threatened by
00:08:43.960 is having their gravy train derailed by, by, by Trump's proposition. It's up to no politician.
00:08:51.320 It's up to no politician, whether Canada or the Western provinces or any province, uh, succeeds
00:08:57.620 from, secedes from federation. It's up to the people of the provinces. So I just thought that
00:09:03.040 was really interesting how she, how she went into full panic spiral mode on Trump there.
00:09:09.360 It's, I mean, she, if you read between the lines, she's basically accusing Donald Trump of being a Nazi
00:09:16.440 when, you know, those, that phone call is coming from inside the house. Uh, if you look at her,
00:09:23.440 uh, you know, the history of her family, um, and even her standing, uh, holding that bandera scarf,
00:09:31.320 which is of course, uh, ultra Ukraine nationalist Nazi adjacent group. Um, but yeah, does she,
00:09:40.580 I absolutely do not believe that there was a four-year-old out there who had been so scared by
00:09:49.000 this little four-year-old's liberal mother, uh, into confronting Chrystia Freeland as the great hope
00:09:56.200 to stand up to Donald Trump. Um, and you know, I'm concerned that she, I mean, this is a woman who
00:10:05.480 invoked the emergencies act over honking. So what would she do to us to confront somebody that she
00:10:13.680 says is the greatest threat since world war two? I mean, that puts her hysteria over Trump
00:10:21.900 into the next level. And if she is in the prime minister's office, she's got the levers of power
00:10:28.820 to do some really crazy things to Canadians to combat somebody that she says is, you know,
00:10:34.360 an existential Nazi style threat that we already know is capable of pulling those levers at her,
00:10:41.900 at her women. And not to suggest that a four foot tall human dog squeaker wouldn't be the best person
00:10:48.760 to negotiate with Trump. Like that's a, that's a little bit of an overstay. She, she is absolutely
00:10:53.660 the wrong person to be working. Well, all of the liberals, all of them, yes, to be like, there is no
00:11:01.060 good choice in this. We, we should have them negotiating on our behalf and especially not
00:11:06.500 multi-year deals that are going to take us right through the next, um, conservative government.
00:11:12.980 These are the wrong people to be negotiating. We're going to, I think we're going to talk about
00:11:16.980 Melanie Jolie, uh, uh, collabing with, with, uh, Europe, her European counterparts on some of this.
00:11:23.800 And again, this, this is not the party and these are not the people that should be negotiating on
00:11:28.780 our behalf. This is a moment where we need a ton of diplomacy and, and, uh, and a ton of good,
00:11:36.860 good neighbor energy to, to get through this. And the liberals just, just are not that they've spent
00:11:42.760 the last four years, uh, insulting Donald Trump, denigrating Donald Trump, making fun of him.
00:11:50.860 And he has not forgotten. He has not forgotten that. So it doesn't matter if it's them negotiating,
00:11:57.040 we're going to get a really, really bad deal. So if they, if they gave a singular crap about
00:12:02.680 Canada, Canadians and its economy, they would politely bow out like right now and let, let the
00:12:10.120 adults in the room do the, do the, do the heavy lifting when it comes to America. There's not a speck
00:12:15.840 of goodwill between the liberals and the Trump administration. I think the feeling is mutual.
00:12:21.360 Um, but getting back to Krista Freeland's remarks on the four-year-old, uh, of course she thinks
00:12:26.140 that, um, of course she thinks other people would believe that because she comes from the side of the
00:12:31.700 debate that thinks that four-year-olds can make life-changing medical decisions. Right. Right.
00:12:38.200 So she thinks they can make life-changing medical decisions. They can decide to sterilize themselves.
00:12:44.500 Of course, they've got geopolitical opinions too. They're just little adults in these teeny tiny
00:12:48.580 bodies. No, there's no developmental stuff happening there. That's exactly right. That,
00:12:53.380 and that is what they believe children are. They believe children are, are all knowing creatures
00:12:58.060 when they walk out of the womb. Instead of acknowledging that, that childhood is a,
00:13:04.200 is a precious and innocent state that should be, um, that should be defended and, and really protected
00:13:11.460 for as long as possible. I mean, whether it, whether it didn't happen, which is what we're,
00:13:18.160 which is what our guess is. And Krista Freeland just got shown for, for, uh, for an abject liar
00:13:24.100 in front of the entire country or whether it did. And there's some unhinged mothers on the left
00:13:31.280 that are, that are, that are believable. Yes. That are traumatizing their children.
00:13:36.720 Like it's not good news. It was not a good story to share. I mean, it was just, it was just a fail,
00:13:42.860 but if you were to read their emails this morning, like each one of them were just, Oh, I mean the
00:13:47.900 back patting that is happening, all of them have put out the, Oh, put out their shoulders, patting
00:13:53.360 themselves on the back. And each one of them is saying the exact same thing. I did the best.
00:13:57.360 Everyone is saying that I did the best. Here are all the people that have said that I did the best.
00:14:03.200 I mean, it's this self-congratulatory circle jerk. That's, that's kind of stunning because had
00:14:09.140 they taken a look about on X or had they followed our coverage on rebel news, they would have had a
00:14:15.240 real different opinion. But again, these are not people that are at all interested in getting
00:14:18.540 accurate, truthful feedback. These are people that are interested in, in living and existing in
00:14:24.180 their own validation circles. Uh, let's go to Mark Carney. And then after Mark Carney,
00:14:30.600 we'll go to how everybody on the stage agreed with each other, which is exactly why they couldn't
00:14:34.220 have Ruby Dalla on the stage is because she would be like, add some flavor to the mix. And she can
00:14:40.780 righteously say, I had no part of any of this mess, right? She could say, I'm a liberal, but I didn't do
00:14:48.380 this to you. See, so you have to get Ruby out of there because she serves as a benchmark as like a
00:14:53.700 liberal on the outside, looking into the, um, decimation of the party. So they had to cook up
00:14:58.660 some reason to get rid of her. Cause you know, if you had a reason, they would have shown evidence.
00:15:02.220 But anyway, Mark Carney, uh, says now it's time to build pipelines in Canada and to transport Alberta
00:15:08.480 energy from West to East to reduce reliance on the U S in the meantime, his party, and he has spent a
00:15:16.240 decade, uh, pushing anti-oil policies that has served to landlock Canadian oil and gas. I mean,
00:15:22.240 the man danced on the grave of Northern gateway, but let's not, let's not bring that up. Let's
00:15:27.520 listen to Mark Carney, lie to Canadians and rewrite his own history. It's possible to build an oil
00:15:35.960 pipeline from Quebec to the Maritimes from Alberta to displace our oil exports to the U S 70% of our oil
00:15:51.560 comes from the U S today. Our neighbor, no longer our friend, of course, I think it's an opportunity for
00:16:03.320 us that we should seize. Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan have to agree. They have to buy in.
00:16:13.160 But Quebec right now, because it's something that's threatening, but, uh, maybe Quebec will say now
00:16:21.160 that Trump is threatening. Well, that's a possibility. Everything's changed. It's quite possible that, uh,
00:16:26.920 they now say, yes, a final point. The federal government has to act quickly and rigorously
00:16:41.080 to support a project like Energy East, as if it's in the interest of the whole country.
00:16:47.720 I'm bored. The federal government has had nine years to act quickly and rigorously to get this done.
00:17:01.240 They've, they've, they've had more than enough time. And I think what's missing in his comments
00:17:05.960 is when he says, when he says he believes that there's the capacity to build a pipeline from,
00:17:11.400 from West to East through Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec to the Maritimes is the level of
00:17:19.080 bureaucratic, uh, regulation that would have to get through every single one of those provinces
00:17:25.800 before it would be approved. Right? So there are going to be environmental assessments. There are
00:17:31.160 going to be first nations consultations. There's going to be provincial, uh, regulations and consultations.
00:17:36.840 Um, what I hear is, is just, uh, Mark Carney saying, we're going to kick the can down the,
00:17:44.120 down the field for so long so that it, so that it's no longer viable. That's what I hear him saying,
00:17:50.520 because if they were at all interested, again, they had the last nine years to do this, to pull this off,
00:17:55.560 and they didn't. Well, and let's not even talk about like, he's missing the broader point.
00:18:01.880 Uh, the Irving oil refinery, the majority of its crude oil comes from Saudi Arabia,
00:18:11.160 then the Americans and Alberta oil is getting to that refinery, but it has to take an interesting
00:18:17.320 route there. It goes from BC through the Panama Canal up and around all the way to the Irving oil
00:18:25.320 refinery. Can you even believe that? And then we've got to listen to these people lecture me about,
00:18:30.440 uh, greenhouse gas emissions. There's nothing more greenhouse gas intensive than bunker fuel
00:18:38.040 in a tanker to take oil and gas through the Panama Canal, because we can't get an east west pipeline
00:18:45.240 built your west east pipeline built in this entire country. Like it's, it's crazy that we have the
00:18:51.000 world's third largest proven oil reserves and we can't go with the pipeline, very greenhouse gas light.
00:18:59.240 No, we have to go to BC through the Panama Canal and back around. And the reason we're doing that
00:19:03.880 is because they canceled energy east. How much you want to bet Brookfield has
00:19:10.680 in oil tankers? How much you want to bet? We should look into that. We should look into that
00:19:15.560 because that's the, that's, that's the other part that we're, that we're not exploring and not that
00:19:21.160 we're not exploring, but that we should explore more is how his relationships with all of these
00:19:27.720 huge asset management companies, uh, influence his decision-making. How, how, how does it, because
00:19:34.760 it does, because it absolutely does. We know as Canadian, like he doesn't live here. He hasn't
00:19:39.160 spent the last 10 years here. He wants to do this as a power plant. He doesn't care about Canada. He's
00:19:44.040 just care about Canada. He cares about serving the, the, the, the shareholders in all of these
00:19:50.680 humongous asset management companies and his overlords at the world economic forum and his
00:19:56.200 overlords at the United nations. So I mean, Mark Carney, but just a joke, just a joke of a man.
00:20:03.880 Well, of course, I mean, he hit Brookfield asset management invested in pipelines in Brazil and
00:20:11.160 the UAE while dancing Mark Carney, literally saying, yeah, there was no business case for
00:20:17.640 Northern gateway pipeline. Well, it's because Mark Carney hadn't figured out a way to profit from it
00:20:23.000 yet. Right. Well, it's interesting that he can, he's the Trudeau whisper. He can whisper in Trudeau's
00:20:28.200 ear and say, let's block pipelines in Canada, which makes it, uh, makes the business case for
00:20:34.760 his pipeline somewhere else a little bit more profitable. Right. If you can keep Canadian oil
00:20:40.200 off the market. Yeah. And, and I, that's a question that we should be asking too, is now that he's
00:20:46.120 adopting this pro pipeline stance, we must find out why, what part of his inventory, what part of his
00:20:54.040 inventory stands to profit from this recent turn of events? Because don't tell me that there's not
00:21:00.200 something in the background where they're making backroom deals, where they're making backroom deals,
00:21:04.600 where his shareholders are going to profit that, that is exactly what's happening. Yeah.
00:21:09.640 You know, that's an interesting point. I realize we're trying to get through the debate coverage,
00:21:13.080 but I saw yesterday, I think it was Larry Brock, who, that man must be the next AG. He must.
00:21:22.040 He's pretty great. Uh, if it was, I think it was Larry Brock, but for sure, Michael Barrett too.
00:21:27.400 Uh, they were tweeting out there about Annette Voucheron. Uh, she was the head of the green slush fund
00:21:38.760 who left the room so that her colleagues could vote her, her, uh, company's money. And then she came in
00:21:45.640 and, and they left the room and then they voted, uh, their, like for their colleagues, they just were like,
00:21:51.480 I'll leave the room. So there's no conflict of interest. Sure. Sure. Yeah. And then I'll be
00:21:55.240 right back and then I'll just give you some money. Well, guess who topped up her, uh, donations to
00:22:00.280 which campaign? Who's she juiced the campaign donation. She donated the max amount to Mark Carney.
00:22:08.600 So if you think that the corruption issue will be dealt with, uh, uh, going forward with Mark Carney
00:22:17.160 in procurement and the green slush fund. Oh no, no, no, no. Uh, the green, uh, gravy train,
00:22:23.400 they know, they know he's our dude and we're going to make sure that he is getting elected. Uh,
00:22:29.720 I saw the, I, I think Michael Barrett, uh, tweeted out about it yesterday, the max donation, her,
00:22:35.800 uh, it's already been reported. So isn't that interesting? That's insane. That's absolutely
00:22:41.800 Canada needs doge so bad. Canada. Yeah, here it is. Oh, here we go. Uh, no, uh, keep going.
00:22:51.240 Is this it? Oh, here we go. I don't know. Maybe this is something else. Oh, is this Annette Boucheron?
00:23:00.200 No, this is something else. That's, that's another scandal. I haven't gotten around to
00:23:04.440 reading about. I'll do that when we get off the air. It never ends. It never ends. Um, uh,
00:23:10.200 okay. So let's keep going. Apparently, Krista Freeland and Mark Carnan, Carnan, Carnie,
00:23:15.960 both agree that Carnage, Mark Carnage, uh, both agree. Of course they do. Cause it was just a bunch of,
00:23:22.680 uh, people agreeing with each other on the stage last night that we should threaten to cut off energy to
00:23:27.440 America to push back against president Trump's tariffs. Oh, but it's not your energy to cut off.
00:23:33.280 And these are, you cannot throw our jobs on the bonfire of your bad negotiation tactics, but let's
00:23:39.040 listen.
00:23:39.920 Well, Francois Legault is talking about, uh, uh, awesome closing off hydroelectricity exports to
00:23:45.120 states. Now in your plans of counter-tax against Mr. Trump, uh, the exports of electricity, uh,
00:23:53.680 could they be cut? I welcome that idea by Premier Legault. It's very important to work with, uh,
00:24:04.640 provincial leaders on tariffs and it's extremely good that he's ready to use anything. Well,
00:24:10.640 you have to keep all your cards close to your chest. I agree with what Krista said about this.
00:24:15.120 It can include semiconductors, oil, and other Canadian resources. Those are assets that Americans need.
00:24:29.760 They really do want to punish the Americans for looking, making them look like a bunch of buffoons.
00:24:35.360 They really do want to punish the Americans. Yep.
00:24:38.960 Yeah. And they don't actually even care if there are Canadian jobs at risk here. Like you just can't
00:24:44.880 cut off energy to somebody that we sell to and think that that doesn't affect the upstream jobs.
00:24:51.440 Like if there's nobody to buy the widgets, they lay off a shift at the widget factory,
00:24:56.720 but they don't get this because they've always been in government. Yep. Yep. No, they, they would have
00:25:02.880 no, and, and you know what, it's not that they, it's not that they don't know. It's that they don't,
00:25:07.360 they don't care. It's that they don't care. So what if a hundred thousand guys lose their jobs in the
00:25:14.480 oil patch? So what, you know, we're going to come along with it with a solar panel idea. We're going
00:25:20.000 to come along with some windmills or some new fan dangled green thing that Mark Carney's friends
00:25:26.320 dreamed up and they'll be right back to work in no time at all. Nevermind that none of their initiatives
00:25:32.640 ever work. Right. They don't produce the energy that North Americans need to, to maintain the
00:25:39.360 quality of life that we have. Uh, but no, they, they honestly, they just don't care. They just
00:25:44.480 don't care. I dug, by the way, I dug up that tweet while we were talking, um, it of Annette Vicharan.
00:25:52.080 Uh, what day did Mark Carney announced the 21st of January? Like she was like ready to pull the
00:25:57.360 shoot on her $1,750 max donation to the campaign of Mark Joseph Carney. And that's the lady who is
00:26:04.320 the head of the green slush fund who stepped out of the room while her colleagues voted her company's
00:26:09.520 money. And then she got in there and voted her colleagues company's money to the tune of $200
00:26:15.040 million. Plus it was just a big green money laundering, uh, initiative. Uh, and she's right in the middle of
00:26:22.480 the conflicts of interest scandal. And guess who won't tell us about his own conflicts of interest?
00:26:28.000 Mark Carney. Nothing's going to change. That's pretty, that's pretty damning though. That is,
00:26:33.200 that is a pretty damning revelation right there because, because it just confirms that we're,
00:26:38.400 what we're all suspecting is that they're all in bed together. And this is just going to be a
00:26:43.680 continuation of the, of the gross and rampant corruption of every part of, of the government
00:26:50.720 of Canada's operations in these last nine years. Yep. Uh, David and I, uh, we're working on our
00:26:58.560 fantasy football cabinet. So as you know, I, I have had, uh, I I've had, um, Michael Barrett,
00:27:06.880 we've selected him to be the doge guy because he's so deep into uncovering the corruption, uh,
00:27:14.480 in government with Randy Blossino with the green slush fund. I know it sounds boring to put a guy like
00:27:20.640 him at procurement, but, uh, I think you need somebody with that sort of forensic mind to be
00:27:28.000 like turn procurement, which sounds like we're always buying stuff and giving out money, turn it
00:27:33.600 into the doge department. And then Larry Brock, of course, at AG and I've still, I'm going to start a
00:27:38.640 little vision board for myself in the office here where I'm shuffling around papers about who in my,
00:27:45.760 in my fantasy cabinet will be there. We should do this. We should do this in public. Like 100%
00:27:52.720 we should do this online, Sheila. We should make, I'm taking submissions. 100%, 100%. Who would be,
00:28:00.400 who would be in charge of going through all of the, um, books? Who would be, who would be in charge of
00:28:06.720 going through all of the books? Like in, we, first of all, we need to get rid of the auditor general.
00:28:11.120 I don't know what that guy does. Uh, he's like, whenever he's called to testify, he's like,
00:28:16.960 what do you want me to do? I'm like, I don't know your job. They literally said like, I don't,
00:28:22.000 I didn't get any complaints. So what do you want me to do? And we're like, you have to wait for a
00:28:26.560 complaint to audit something. Why don't you just like do what the CRA does to people? I'm like,
00:28:33.120 I don't like your face, you know, pull your file and just go through it. Same with the ethics
00:28:40.720 commissioner, right? Same with the ethics commissioner. I'm not sure he knows what that
00:28:45.280 means. No, I don't, I don't, I don't think he knows what that means. What's his name? Think
00:28:50.620 Finkenstein? Conrad something. Conrad Finkle. Von Finkenstein. He was the guy. He was the guy who was like,
00:28:58.080 what do you want me to do? Investigate ethics? I'm like, well, uh, what exactly that you do around
00:29:04.800 here? Good sir. Like DEI surveys, dirt DEI training. That's what he does. He testified that
00:29:13.280 he investigated one day of Randy Boissoneau's text messages, like just one day, one day he
00:29:21.120 investigated and found nothing. And trusted, trusted, trusted, trusted, uh, what, who was it? Uh,
00:29:26.940 Steven Anderson, when Steven Anderson was like, it was a typo nine times. It was the same one,
00:29:33.200 the same one. It was like, no, sounds right. Sounds about right. Yep. Yeah. While Randy Boissoneau
00:29:38.580 was in Vancouver on a cabinet retreat, Steven Anderson was texting Randy on the West coast,
00:29:45.860 but it was definitely an autocorrect error. Yes. I know every time that I'm trying to talk to my
00:29:52.080 colleagues, uh, who have completely different names, it just autocorrects to Randy every single
00:29:57.340 time. I don't know what's wrong. New update on my phone, I guess. Um, Freeland, uh, she says,
00:30:06.360 we can't allow the kind of comments about immigrants that we're hearing coming out of the U S at the
00:30:10.780 moment. Uh, what that we should deport people who are here illegally. Um, and that includes people
00:30:18.380 from the rainbow spectrum of ethnicities. If you're, if you're not there legally, you don't
00:30:24.780 have to go home, but you can't stay here. Uh, anyway, let's listen again. Why they, why they
00:30:29.800 could, I would say very quick. Sorry. I would say very quickly that we can't allow the kinds
00:30:41.140 of comments that about immigrants that we're hearing coming out of the U S at the moment,
00:30:45.460 we can't have that in Canada. It is very important that we say it because some people want us to
00:30:52.700 say the same kinds of things. It's unacceptable. So basically just running on an anti-American
00:30:59.780 platform, whatever they're doing in the United States right now is absolutely unthinkable to the
00:31:06.400 liberal party of Canada, whatever they're doing or saying, or thinking in the United States of Canada
00:31:10.460 or United States of America cannot be imported to Canada. That is not what we want. When so many
00:31:16.640 Canadians right now are looking at what Donald Trump is doing in, in America going, I want that
00:31:22.460 for me. Like, I want that for me. I want that for us. This is the direction that we want our country
00:31:28.460 to go in, but it's unthinkable to the liberals. It's absolutely unthinkable, but yeah, they're
00:31:33.320 running on an anti, oops, anti-American platform. And, and that's the short and long of it.
00:31:40.280 Well, and do they think we're stupid? Do they think we can't tell the difference between
00:31:45.560 legal immigration and illegal migrants? Because illegal migrants are plugging up the healthcare
00:31:51.980 system. We're putting them up in hotels. They're breaking the immigration system. They're
00:31:57.060 loose in the country. Uh, they're trafficked by the way. Um, and they've broken the laws
00:32:03.860 to be here. I do not confuse those people with the people who have done things the right
00:32:10.000 way to get into the, our country. I do not confuse legal immigrants with the people who
00:32:15.460 have abused the foreign student program to get here. I don't, I don't confuse people who
00:32:23.600 are doing things the right way with people who are temporary foreign workers who get here
00:32:29.260 and then claim refugee status. When the people who are temporary foreign workers are generally
00:32:34.400 unskilled workers whose jobs could be easily filled by unemployed Canadian students. Uh, I
00:32:40.700 don't like, we're not stupid, Christia. We know the difference. And so when we say, yeah,
00:32:46.400 there, there are foreign criminals in this country. They, and by virtue of them being in our country
00:32:50.960 illegally, they are participating in criminality, try and come back the right way or not at
00:32:58.220 all, whatever. I don't care. But as I said, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay
00:33:02.000 here. Yep. That's right. And that, and, and, and just the stresses on our infrastructure,
00:33:07.400 on our, on our healthcare services, on our education services, on our, we're in a housing crisis.
00:33:14.940 How, how, how come you think that is, Christia? Could it be the 5 million people that are here
00:33:20.880 that shouldn't be right now, putting stressors on our, putting stressors on our housing and our
00:33:27.100 healthcare and our education systems? Um, I, uh, I'm going to keep saying that Canada needs to be
00:33:34.220 adopting a lot of, uh, a lot of the initiatives that America has shuffled in, in these last six
00:33:40.800 weeks. And I'm going to keep saying it until, until we start seeing Canadian politicians fall
00:33:45.360 in, follow suit. Oh, well, and I want this, I want this to be a place where legal immigrants can
00:33:51.440 access the Canadian dream. Like if you come here legally, follow the rules, you're here to work,
00:33:58.940 you're here to, you know, build our economy. I want you to be able to afford a house. I want you to be
00:34:04.480 able to access our healthcare system, but you're coming here the right way. And the people who are
00:34:09.340 coming here the wrong way are making it impossible for you to succeed as well. But Christia Freeland
00:34:14.360 doesn't care about those people. She thinks those are all the same people, which actually
00:34:18.760 feels slightly bigoted. Christia, by the way. Well, yeah. Another, another example of her being
00:34:24.900 completely, absolutely, completely out of touch with, with the reality that, that Canada is facing
00:34:30.980 right now. Okay. We've got two more clips from the debate. Uh, this one completely hypocritical.
00:34:38.840 From Freeland. Uh, she says that the liberals are the party of the charter of rights and freedoms.
00:34:47.860 I completely agree. Our party is the party of the charter. And as prime minister, I will always,
00:34:59.220 always uphold the charter. I believe that this is not the time for us to have divisions and conflicts
00:35:11.900 within our country. What I'm feeling within conversations is that Canadians are more united
00:35:17.940 than ever. United in the idea that we're a bilingual country.
00:35:21.720 Nothing about that made sense. Like absolutely nothing about that made sense. This is the party
00:35:28.900 that, that froze, froze bank accounts. Illegally. Illegally. Shut down the freedom convoy. Floated
00:35:37.560 hate speech legislation, which would absolutely tamp down any social media activity in Canada
00:35:43.820 forever. The censorship regime lives and breathes because of the liberal party of Canada. And she
00:35:52.360 is the, Oh, and, and PS don't even get me started about parental rights. Also, this is the party that
00:35:56.840 says parents don't have rights. And right. And, and, and she upholds herself and the liberal party as
00:36:04.980 the party of the charter. They, I mean, take it, put it in a burn barrel and burn it. And that's how much
00:36:11.500 they, that's how much they appreciate and uphold the charter of rights and freedoms in Canada.
00:36:16.080 This is the party that didn't hesitate to violate all of the rights of Canadians.
00:36:21.700 Off the top of my head, as she was talking C11, C18. So online news and online streaming,
00:36:28.900 which gives the power of the bureaucrats to control what you can see and say on the internet.
00:36:33.520 It limited, it had the, uh, I think probably intended consequence of limiting what news Canadians have
00:36:42.660 access to in the manner in which they choose to access that news, which is Facebook, um, and
00:36:48.260 Instagram C63, as you mentioned, the online harms act, which actually made a provision for pre crimes,
00:36:55.160 um, hurt feelings. If you, what you say may cause detestation. That's literally all I do with this
00:37:02.900 government is say things that might cause people to dislike the government. Um, and it, uh, also
00:37:09.460 could put you under house arrest with an ankle monitor for being a prickly pair on the internet.
00:37:15.880 And then of course the emergencies act, which was dubbed illegal. Uh, and she, uh, cackled as she
00:37:21.980 froze the bank account. So listen, sister, I don't believe you care. Oh, uh, a lick about the charter.
00:37:26.760 I don't, you even know what it says. Yep. Yep. That's a true story. She's a liar.
00:37:32.900 A liar. She is now this one, and this is the one that CBC and all the people are running
00:37:40.660 cover for. They're saying he misspoke, but I've literally never misspoke and said that
00:37:45.720 I agreed with a terrorist organization. Like I've never said, you know what? ISIS has got
00:37:51.780 a lot of things to say and I'm willing to listen. Like, like, but that was Mark Carney's
00:37:56.840 so-called misspeak on this issue. Um, uh, this let's let him hear it. You could see the
00:38:06.200 second this happened, every conservative MP was tweeting about it. Um, because it's so
00:38:13.360 insane, but I think he accidentally told the truth here, uh, based on the lack of action
00:38:20.060 dealing with the hate mobs on the streets of Canada every single week. So let's listen to
00:38:25.520 Mark Carney. Hamas. We all agree on Hamas on a two-state solution. No, we don't agree with
00:38:30.840 Hamas. No, we're against Hamas. Yes, we're all against Hamas. We are. And we're in favor
00:38:38.080 of a two-state solution. But it must be a Palestinian state, a viable state, a United
00:38:44.860 state that exists next to a peaceful and secure Israel. Hamas. And Hamas on a two-state...
00:38:58.380 No, we don't. Yeah. No, we don't agree with Hamas. Like, was that Frank Bayless? Sorry,
00:39:06.500 was that Frank Bayless who saved him? Who's like, no, no, not we. No, you, maybe not we.
00:39:12.240 But it, but those two ideas can live together, right? We agree with Hamas and we agree with the
00:39:20.240 two-state solution. Like, those two ideas can live hand in hand. And, and, but what we've seen
00:39:27.620 by their startling lack of inaction about what's happening in Canada. And it, you know, it feels so
00:39:35.060 bizarre because four years ago, three years ago, two years ago, we would have thought that public
00:39:42.040 public shows of support for terrorism in Canada would be absolutely unthinkable. And in the last
00:39:50.560 several years, they've accelerated to the point where, where it's almost commonplace. So it wouldn't
00:39:57.520 be beyond Mark Carney to try and court some of those votes with a little bit of a slip of the tongue.
00:40:06.540 So that's all I'm saying. That's all I would say.
00:40:10.340 Yeah. And this idea that there should be a two-state solution, there is one. It was Israel
00:40:16.000 and Jordan. And when he says, oh yes, it can exist in peace alongside Israel with a secure Israel.
00:40:27.920 Yeah. Yeah. There was a security fence between Gaza and Israel. And when they're not burning the
00:40:35.260 crops by putting up fire balloons, they're trying to tunnel their way into snatch Israelis from the
00:40:42.300 street. And then they launched the terror attack from Gaza. They've tried living in peace.
00:40:48.240 It's not working. So what is your solution, Mark? So you're going to reward the terrorists
00:40:56.780 with their own state. I guess terrorism pays. Murders pay. It does in Canada. It does in Canada.
00:41:06.300 We've seen it. Yeah. Just ask Omar Cotter. Yes. Yes. $10.5 million to Omar Cotter.
00:41:12.020 Well, the Liberal Party of Canada funds these groups as their proxy sort of armies, as their
00:41:21.860 mercenaries. We've seen them do this in Palestine. We've seen them do this more recently in Ukraine.
00:41:31.800 We've seen them do this with the Rainbow Mafia. This government funds proxy armies to fight
00:41:41.240 to fight wars on their behalf. And it wouldn't, it wouldn't surprise me at all if that was what
00:41:46.400 Mark Carney had up his sleeve. Let's know that's all the debate coverage we have. We have to go
00:41:53.700 into 51st state stuff, but I've got an ad read. Can you see the chat or you want me to do the chat?
00:41:59.560 What, where, where, where am I looking? At the, ah, it's fine.
00:42:03.700 Uh, I can't see it at the bottom of my screen and it annoys me to no end, but yeah, do, do go on.
00:42:11.480 I'll do it. Okay. And then we'll do, uh, I think we have a rebel ad break after, and then we'll go
00:42:15.520 into, uh, Trump tariff mania. Uh, this one is for positive. If you have a dog, we've all been there.
00:42:21.480 The pup goes from full of energy to sick and miserable in an instance and at the worst of times,
00:42:25.340 then we're calling vets in the middle of the night or on weekends, trying to find a clinic that will
00:42:28.720 take us in. It's a terrible way to manage your dog's health, not to mention your stress levels and
00:42:32.880 your monthly budget. You know, the commercialization of Catholic holidays has really sent me to the
00:42:40.520 vet a lot lately between the cat trying to eat lilies and the dog enjoying Halloween candy. It's
00:42:48.200 just been a real nightmare. Anyways, that's why people are getting the pet emergency kit by positive
00:42:52.880 and that's spelled the cutesy way positive. So P-A-W-S-I-T-I-V-E. It contains critical
00:42:58.660 medications and supplies that can not only keep you out of the vet office, but even save your dog's
00:43:03.380 life. Their kits contain critical medications like activated charcoal, styptic powder, and more.
00:43:08.340 It might save your dog's life. Head over to positive.com and use the code studio to get 50%
00:43:13.680 off your pet emergency kit. Then we've got a quick chat from Guillotine Press gives us $10. I think this
00:43:25.320 is a super chat. So that's good news. That tells me that we are still monetized on YouTube, which is
00:43:33.160 always a threat. It says, how many WEF handlers can you have on a debate stage at one time? Sad. Isn't that
00:43:40.660 the truth? Yep. At least four. At least four. And watching that, it's very clear why Ruby Dalla
00:43:49.060 wasn't there because she has been tough on immigration. And look, I've been tough on Ruby
00:43:55.280 Dalla, that's for sure. But I'm willing to show her some grace despite her propensity for just
00:44:04.900 over filtering every image of her that exists out there. It's a, it's a, it's a real Instagram
00:44:13.460 disease. But outside of that, if she was having some sort of mugged by reality come to Jesus moment,
00:44:20.720 like Tulsi Gabbard. Okay. And they couldn't have Ruby on that stage because while Freeland is saying,
00:44:28.700 oh, you guys are being racist about immigrants, you guys are sounding Trumpy. And there's Ruby
00:44:33.480 like, what do you mean racist? What do you mean racist? Little white lady with a Nazi family history.
00:44:40.580 What do you mean racist? By the way, I think the lady doth protest too much. So yeah, of course,
00:44:46.720 they couldn't have had Ruby on there because they're all responsible for this mess. They're
00:44:50.120 making the Kamala Harris argument why they should be responsible for fixing the mess that they created
00:44:54.680 and given another shot. And Ruby, you could say, no, I'm your one. I didn't do this.
00:45:01.040 Ruby needs to go scorched earth on the liberal party of Canada. She needs to absolutely start
00:45:09.560 singing like a canary, start telling all the secrets. And if she were, if she, if the conservatives
00:45:16.120 were real, real smart, man, man, they, they should be cozy and up to Ruby right now. Ruby, I think
00:45:22.700 with a little bit of a course correction, with a little bit of a course correction, you know,
00:45:28.220 walking back on some, some of her crazier ideas and laying off the filters, I think would find a
00:45:34.040 warm embrace in some of the conservative circles in Canada. So as I was saying to David yesterday,
00:45:40.140 I don't think Ruby's that far apart on particularly social issues from somebody,
00:45:45.560 some, from somebody like Michelle Rempel, you know, and Michelle Rempel's got a strong home in the
00:45:51.740 conservative party. You know what, Ruby, I would love to see you run for mayor of Brampton.
00:45:59.100 Yeah, he would be a real challenger to get rid of Patrick Brown.
00:46:04.600 Yes, you're right. She's been Kardashianized. She's been Kardashianized. She's, she's watched a
00:46:12.700 couple too, a couple too many episodes of the Real Housewives of Dubai. That's what happened to Ruby.
00:46:18.340 But it's fine. I mean, it's fine. We can deal with it. Yeah, we can. It's fine. I mean, you know what,
00:46:23.440 if, if I can look at Matt Gaetz, I can look at her. That's fine. You know, he's perpetually startled
00:46:30.520 looking. Oh, there it is. There it is. That's two hours of glam right there, people. Okay.
00:46:37.940 I thought that was AI the first time I saw it. That's two hours of glam and 17 filters is what
00:46:44.200 that is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just happy she still has a nose. All right. We, do we,
00:46:50.980 uh, do we have an ad break, Olivia? Okay. We'll come back on Trump tariff media.
00:47:00.400 Canadians know the national anthem. They stand in silence to remember those who died for this
00:47:05.900 country, but not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms. The freedom passport will
00:47:11.560 change that. It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian charter of
00:47:17.700 rights and freedoms in a portable, easy to read format. The freedom passport, order one for
00:47:24.360 yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love at freedom passport.ca.
00:47:33.560 I've got a better idea than tariffs. What would an America first strategy for Canada U.S. trade look
00:47:40.180 like? Is there room for a Trump style mega deal even bigger than Greenland? A dozen years ago,
00:47:47.080 I wrote a bestselling book called ethical oil, the case for Canada's oil sands, which made the liberal
00:47:53.260 argument that the oil sands are the fair trade coffee of the world's oil industry. In my new book
00:47:59.380 deal of the century, I look at Canada U S trade through an America first lens. And I come to the
00:48:05.320 conclusion that far from putting tariffs on Canadian oil, Donald Trump should ink a 50 year, $13 trillion
00:48:12.680 deal to buy all 170 billion barrels of Canada's oil sands, shutting out China and giving Canada the
00:48:20.960 means to pay for a rebuilt military. And as for yanking Trudeau's chain, well, he'll be gone as prime
00:48:27.980 minister in a few weeks, but I've got a better suggestion for how Trump can slap Trudeau around a
00:48:33.960 bit without hurting America's economic interests. That's in the book too. Get your copy now at
00:48:40.480 deal of the century book.com. And trust me, Trudeau doesn't want you to see this.
00:48:50.520 It's a good book. I'm going to order the book. We should have a little book club. That's what we
00:48:56.860 should do. We should have a book club. I'd host a book club. Oh, I would too. We'll go through all
00:49:03.120 the books that's on the, that's on the rebel library bookshop. We should do that. Let's do that.
00:49:08.060 We're going to start a book club. The end. Okay. Everybody look forward to it. It'll be fun.
00:49:12.940 Yeah, that's actually a pretty great idea. And you know, there are other books in that realm that I
00:49:19.160 read that, you know, like maybe people would want to hear, would you, would you be interested in a
00:49:24.940 rebel news book club, rebel news viewers? Put it, let us know. Put it in the chat. If it's a yes,
00:49:30.800 then we're going to run with it. We get enough. Yes. We're going to, we'll run with it. But I love that
00:49:35.340 idea because I love talking ideas, right? I love talking ideas and I love books. You know me,
00:49:41.860 Sheila, with my little typewriter. I know. Just, just, just writing that's PS. This is something
00:49:47.980 that maybe our viewers don't know is I'm a typewriter enthusiast and I'm forever banging
00:49:52.260 out ideas on my typewriter. So yeah, book club, that'd be fun. That'd be super fun. Get everybody
00:49:58.720 on the same page. Yeah. And you know, it's funny because people are like, where did you get that
00:50:04.880 weird turn of phrase from? I, one of the first books I read when I started working at rebel news
00:50:11.920 was not Ezra's books. I had already read those. But I read a William F. Buckley Jr.'s, The Lexicon.
00:50:19.620 And it's just a book. It's like, it's called a cornucopia of words. And it's just a book that if
00:50:25.380 you're thinking of a word, it's a better, funner word. And I've found it has been really helpful.
00:50:32.620 And sometimes I get like, what people will say like, where did you get that turn of phrase?
00:50:35.900 Either it's one of my mom's weird old farmer words, or it's, I I'm relying on the lexicon. Anyway,
00:50:43.840 just, uh, we'll put that in the book club. We'll put that in the book club. We'll put it on the list.
00:50:49.440 It will improve your writing. I will tell you that. All right. Let's go into Trump tariff,
00:50:54.180 51st state. Uh, Trump says the tariffs are coming, uh, March 1st, which is mere days away.
00:51:01.840 Uh, we've got a video of this. He says it'll be very good for his country. Maybe. Um, but, uh,
00:51:10.020 let's just hope they stay off oil and gas because, uh, further down, uh, he says some very nice things
00:51:16.740 about Canadian oil and gas. We'll get to that in a second. Next week, there's a key deadline for your
00:51:21.540 Canada and Mexico. I believe those countries have done enough on the border to stop those from
00:51:26.820 taking effect. And for president Macron, we're on time with the tariffs and it seems like that's
00:51:32.580 moving along very rapidly. We've been mistreated very badly by many countries, not just Canada and
00:51:38.320 Mexico. Uh, we've been taken advantage of. We were led by, in some cases, fools because anybody that
00:51:44.680 would sign documents like they signed where they were able to take advantage of the American people
00:51:49.520 like has happened over the last long period of time, except for a little four year period that,
00:51:55.960 uh, took place four years ago. Uh, but, uh, anybody that would agree to allow this to happen to our
00:52:02.080 country, uh, should be ashamed of themselves. No, the, the tariffs are going forward on time,
00:52:09.220 on schedule. Uh, this is, uh, an abuse that took place for many, many years. And I'm not even blaming
00:52:16.060 the other countries that did this. I blame our leadership for allowing it to happen. I mean,
00:52:22.100 you know, who can blame them if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage
00:52:26.180 of the United States on, uh, on manufacturing on just about everything, every aspect that you can
00:52:33.220 imagine they took advantage of. I look at some of these agreements, I'd read them at night and I'd say,
00:52:37.820 who would ever sign a thing like this? So the tariffs will go forward. Yes. And we're going to
00:52:43.540 make up a lot of territory. We're going to, all we want is reciprocal. We want reciprocity. We want
00:52:49.380 to have, uh, the same. So if somebody charges us, we charge them. It's very simple, but, uh, it'll be
00:52:56.580 very good for our country. Our country will be extremely, uh. Okay. So that's why I think we're not
00:53:03.480 going to get tariffed on oil and gas because he said he wants reciprocity. So if somebody tariffs
00:53:08.480 us, we'll tariff them back way harder. We're not tariffing Canadian oil and gas. We're actually
00:53:12.820 selling it to them at a reduced rate. And he has hinted, well, not hinted. I mean, he said,
00:53:20.580 um, that Keystone XL will go forward. Actually, it was one of his first things that he did when he
00:53:27.360 became president the first time around is he signed off on two pipelines right away. Uh, the, uh,
00:53:35.000 Keystone XL, which had been killed by the Obama administration and then left to die
00:53:39.040 by the, uh, not Lee government here in Alberta, but also the Dakota access pipeline project,
00:53:44.580 which was subject to crazy, crazy opposition, just the same green piece, foreign funded nonsense,
00:53:50.880 but it wasn't foreign funded because it was coming out of San Francisco, um, in the United States. Um,
00:53:56.780 and he basically said, uh, no, you guys are going to move along or the army's coming or the national
00:54:03.260 guard or whatever. And that was it. Like he just had a zero tolerance for not getting these energy
00:54:09.660 projects done, uh, thanks to activists. And so he, um, this, maybe we can bring up the tweet.
00:54:16.920 Yeah. Yeah. He was just, I was just going to say he was onto this yesterday. It says our,
00:54:23.160 our country is doing really well. Uh, Keystone XL pipeline that was viciously jettisoned by the
00:54:28.480 incompetent Biden administration should come back to America and get built now. And Danielle Smith
00:54:35.620 and Scott Moe, the Western premiers were on this so fast agreed. President Trump, that projects should
00:54:41.880 have never been canceled. Lower fuel costs for American families is a big win. Let's scrap
00:54:46.760 these inflammatory tariff ideas and focus on getting shovels in the ground right away. Just
00:54:50.440 perfect. Like an absolutely hitch perfect response to what he said. And this is his, I do believe this
00:54:57.120 is his way of throwing a lifeline to the Western provinces that he knows are dependent on that
00:55:05.620 American trade for, for everything that we do out here. I think that this is his, this is his lifeline
00:55:11.700 to us and man, is it appreciated, but it does sound as though all of the steel tariffs, the aluminum
00:55:17.960 tariffs, the manufacturing, the cars, the, the car parts, the Ontario centric tariffs are still a go.
00:55:27.880 And I, I don't think that he's going to back off quick, uh, because of the antagonistic approach
00:55:32.660 that Doug Ford and others have taken. Uh, yeah. I mean, even on the debate stage last night,
00:55:39.020 they're saying, Oh, we cut off energy exports. And then Trump's like, uh, actually we're going to
00:55:44.140 build more, uh, pipelines to export more energy. And the Western premiers are like, yeah, we are.
00:55:50.000 Uh, it's just, it's like, we're living in two different countries.
00:55:54.000 Another, another thing that, what that happened on the debate stage that I thought was so interesting
00:55:57.760 was Christopher Freeland, uh, saying that, that Tesla's should have a hundred percent, a 100%
00:56:04.200 tariff Tesla's coming in. Now, listen, not to say that your beef with Elon Musk shouldn't impact
00:56:11.380 the, uh, the economic drivers in Canada, but it should not your beef with what's happening in
00:56:16.760 America, American, America made their choice and you must respect that choice that you don't like
00:56:23.720 Elon, that you have a beef with him, that you have a beef with Trump should not, should not impact
00:56:29.020 tariffs coming over the board because, because there's such a disparity. I mean, Canada has,
00:56:33.880 uh, Canada has 40 million consumers. Okay. So if, if the buying power of Canada shuts off to America,
00:56:42.420 America lose, loses 40, 40 million consumers. If, if it's the other way around, Canada loses 350
00:56:51.540 million consumers. I mean, the disparity is just so huge and playing this hard ball. I mean,
00:56:57.820 it just doesn't make sense just in terms of our, just in terms of the sheer size difference between
00:57:03.880 our countries, we are in, we are in a very precarious position and antagonizing them the way,
00:57:10.420 the way that the liberal party and the liberal, you know, the, the neocon liberal premiers have
00:57:16.660 is not going to serve us. Well, and pick a lane, like, are we not supposed to, at least according to
00:57:24.260 these liberals, be no longer buying gas and diesel powered vehicles by 2035? Who is the biggest,
00:57:31.160 uh, producer of these, or at least the, probably the most effective producer of gas or of electric
00:57:37.900 vehicles? Most well-known? Teslas. I, they don't have the, uh, you better take a fire extinguisher with
00:57:44.660 you problem that the Chevy Volt had. Like, you know, uh, I just, it, it boggles the mind that
00:57:52.700 they're all for green, except when the green guy takes an unpaid job streaming, streamlining the
00:58:00.580 American administration. Yes. Yes. And that's exactly what, like, it just goes to show you how
00:58:06.060 petty they are. These are petty, vindictive, awful people, these liberals. And like the, the,
00:58:12.700 the faster that they're shown the door, the better for us Canadians. But yeah, go,
00:58:16.920 go Keystone XL. Can't wait. Any other companies doing business? Um, any other people tangentially
00:58:24.400 related to a company that now works in the American administration? Do they have to worry about some
00:58:29.440 sort of jingoistic Canadian boycott directed at them? Like it, it's, it is, I mean, there's no other
00:58:36.700 word for it except petty and not really poorly thought out actually when you think. Yes, it is.
00:58:42.700 Uh, okay. Uh, the reason I want to address this is not because of Daniel Smith's remarks. Um,
00:58:51.020 oh, here comes my cat. I have come in the office under the core of my eye. Um, anyways. Oh, there he
00:58:59.440 is. I'll just grab him before he knocks something over and then I'll throw him out. Anyways, Premier
00:59:04.040 Smith react. Hi, here's Trigger. He's feeling, uh, very well after a very expensive vet bill for
00:59:10.680 eating lilies. Um, Premier Smith reacting to a billboard suggesting that Alberta should become
00:59:16.160 the 51st state stating that she sees no enthusiasm for the idea while noting a rise in Canadian
00:59:22.300 patriotism. I just have to, I want to talk about this as just like a side quest of something else.
00:59:29.000 Um, and, uh, I'm going to throw my cat out. So if you want to get off me and just go to the
00:59:33.700 Premier, that'd be great. Thank you. This billboard on, uh, highway two North, uh, by
00:59:38.140 Bowdoin. I was, uh, speaking with, uh, Peter Downing on the weekend, one of the folks behind
00:59:43.120 it. And, uh, he suggested that, um, they deliberately picked the picture of, uh, you at
00:59:50.100 Mar-a-Lago with, uh, President Trump to, um, isolate your position between support for the
00:59:57.320 U S and maybe, uh, some of the differences opinion with, uh, team Canada on the council
01:00:02.700 of the confederation. I was just wondering if you had received any reaction from it and
01:00:08.820 what your personal reaction is to not only the billboards themselves, but this kind of
01:00:16.100 concept of, uh, uh, Alberta becoming a 51st or 50th and a half state.
01:00:21.960 I see, I see no enthusiasm for that notion. I, I, what I have seen is the opposite. I
01:00:27.080 have seen so many, uh, Canadians and, and Albertans in particular, uh, reaching out and
01:00:34.200 saying, we got to put Canada first. We've got to tear down interprovincial trade barriers.
01:00:38.380 We've got to find new markets. We've got to support each other in building new pipeline
01:00:42.020 infrastructure. I've seen a sea change in, um, in attitudes across the entire country.
01:00:46.460 I'm very, very encouraged by that. So I don't think there's a lot of enthusiasm for,
01:00:51.580 uh, for, for, for what, uh, the billboard says or what the president has been talking
01:00:55.520 about. And that's why I say let's, let's continue to be the U S is, uh, best trading
01:01:00.420 partner. Let's continue to be a sovereign nation and let's get to talking about the
01:01:04.480 things that are going to make us both stronger. I think that there's a real opportunity for
01:01:08.560 us to talk about a North American fortress that Canada and the U S together, we can make
01:01:14.320 sure that we've got energy security, national security, international security, food
01:01:18.340 security, and, uh, working in partnership together with the building on the kind of trade
01:01:22.740 relationships we've had in the past. I think that, uh, I think that that's the pathway forward
01:01:26.760 economic union, like the EU. Well, you know, and talk to anybody in the EU, they don't much
01:01:32.640 love Brussels. So I think that what I, what I do like is that we have built through various
01:01:39.020 phases, whether it was the auto pact followed by free trade agreement, followed by NAFTA,
01:01:42.560 followed by CUSMA, we have a, we have a virtually tax, uh, tariff free relationship with the United
01:01:48.580 States. I think it's something like 99% tariff free. And so are there ways that we can improve
01:01:53.920 that mobility, buy more goods from the U S have them buy more goods from us. I'm, I'm open to
01:01:58.640 talking about that. And I hope we can get onto that part of the conversation very soon. Cause
01:02:02.220 that's a lot more constructive. So what else could she honestly say, you know, like she is a Canadian
01:02:09.840 premier within confederation. What else could she say, except, you know, I hope there are no
01:02:14.360 tariffs. I hope we can build a stronger economic union, um, buying more goods from each other,
01:02:19.700 uh, more free trade. Uh, of course, I mean, what else could she say as a premier, but to say there's
01:02:26.740 no enthusiasm seems like a understatement. I think it's like one in three Albertans are like, yeah,
01:02:33.100 if I could just, uh, have the same amount of, uh, network, if my, my dollar were at parity,
01:02:41.000 I would consider it. Yeah. Well, she could, she could say what the prime minister of Greenland
01:02:47.140 said when Trump started floating the idea of Greenland becoming a part of America, the prime
01:02:53.360 minister said that is up to the people of Greenland to decide that that is what he said. And I think
01:03:00.660 that, uh, I think that especially as it pertains to the Western provinces where there has been a
01:03:07.460 growing army of residents saying, right, we, we know that confederation is, is not working for us.
01:03:16.200 We've known for a very, very long time that it's not working for us. And we are convinced that it
01:03:21.500 will never work for us the way that our, um, uh, our, uh, our, uh, elections are set up. Our
01:03:30.920 judiciaries are set up the way that our Senate seats are set up, set up. I think that there's a
01:03:35.340 great many Western Canadians who are saying, right, we just want a path away from those who are abusing
01:03:41.460 us. Uh, whether it's, whether it's just leaving Canada and going on it by ourselves or joining the
01:03:51.300 United States to say that there is no enthusiasm. I, well, I think that's a, that's a little bit of
01:03:57.960 a, uh, an exaggeration. I think that there's, there's more than a little enthusiasm for it.
01:04:04.220 Now, the side quest I wanted to go on before I was so rudely interrupted by my cute, but, uh,
01:04:09.780 annoying cat was, uh, the billboard itself that they asked her about. And the billboard is put up by
01:04:17.640 spot ads. And it is at Bowdoin, Alberta, which is like one of the most conservative places on the
01:04:26.280 planet. Uh, one of the most conservative voting regions in the entire country. And, uh, the billboard
01:04:34.860 itself caused controversy. The reason I know the billboard itself caused controversy, at least on
01:04:40.100 Reddit, not because I'm on Reddit. I avoid Reddit like the plague because I feel it might be a plague,
01:04:45.200 um, is because rebel news does business with spot ads. They host our billboard along the side of
01:04:54.120 highway two and spot ads. Josh had to send an email to all of his customers explaining why they might be
01:05:03.260 contacted by crazy people because, uh, the, and this is the innocuous billboard. You can disagree with
01:05:11.220 this billboard, but what it doesn't have is hate speech, no calls to violence. None of that. There's
01:05:16.740 not profanity. There's nothing, there's nothing graphic about it. It says, tell Danielle, let's join
01:05:22.180 the USA, America fund.ca. That's it. Um, so the Reddit mob went after Josh to get him to take the
01:05:32.120 billboard down. Now to Josh's credit, he did not, he was unwavering and good for him. Cause it is tough
01:05:39.780 when you're not in the, like the political nightmare on a day-to-day basis where everyone's
01:05:45.100 yelling at you all the time. Uh, it can be a little rattling cause you're like, I just want to
01:05:50.020 put up billboards and run a billboard company. And if they've got money and it doesn't break the law,
01:05:54.200 I'll put up the billboard, which is what you want. You don't want people deciding I won't do business
01:05:59.560 with you based on your politics. Um, and media, which is what that is, is, uh, protected in the
01:06:07.760 charter. And that's where Josh came down on this. He said, you're not going to bully me.
01:06:11.900 Um, this, because a billboard is media that you consume. It's a protected charter, right? I'm not
01:06:19.580 discriminating. And so what they did after that was they went after Josh's customers. And so Josh had
01:06:25.840 to alert his customers, uh, the crazies are, could contact you. And I'm very sorry, but this is why,
01:06:32.320 and this is why you as a customer can count on Josh going forward because he believes in your right
01:06:40.300 to express yourself. If it falls within the law, which it does. And I'm proud to say that Josh is
01:06:46.920 unwavering in that. And I, yeah, good for him. And, uh, we need more brave people in the world that
01:06:53.300 are going to allow these conversations to happen. So just like Josh, uh, this coming weekend, there's
01:06:58.140 an event in Regina that poses this exact same question. One of the conservative parties of
01:07:03.180 Saskatchewan is holding an event at a place called the German club, uh, full disclosure. I'm a, I'm a
01:07:08.460 invited and paid speaker to this event. And this is, uh, when, when it was discovered by some of the
01:07:16.540 woke mob on the internet that we were just asking the question, should Saskatchewan become the 51st state?
01:07:22.800 Not, we're not asserting that it should, but we're just asking the question. We're having the
01:07:27.560 conversation. We're, we're taking the temperature of the people of Saskatchewan. Um, when the, when
01:07:35.100 the woke mob find found out about this, they, uh, started to plan a protest. The police got involved
01:07:40.920 and this is why I have to travel with private security now in Saskatchewan because you're in
01:07:45.880 Saskatchewan. Yeah. Because of this stuff, because they just, you know, they want to de-platform you
01:07:50.680 instead of coming to hear what is being said. And, you know, like, that's the thing, like go and
01:07:55.940 listen to the concerns of the other side, because if you think you've got a better answer than they
01:08:01.360 have, offer it, but you don't even know what everybody's concerns are. And you want to make
01:08:06.580 sure that they're never heard ever anyway. It's the worst kind of censorship.
01:08:12.040 No, it's really awful. And like just huge props to the, the Regina German club who was hosting the
01:08:18.060 event who had, who had much the same response as Scott. They said, we rent banquet spaces. It's not
01:08:23.560 our business with people. Like, as long as there's no hate speech, as long as there's no threats of
01:08:28.160 violence, uh, uh, we're good to go. And if you don't like it, you can shove it. And, and they did,
01:08:33.280 they did say like, we're reporting all of the threats to the police, the end, like we're not
01:08:37.060 playing this game. So just huge shout out to the Regina German club. If you're ever in Regina, come,
01:08:42.420 come for some schnitzel. Yes.
01:08:44.680 Come for some schnitzel.
01:08:46.780 Spot adds a company that will not bow to the mob. So if you need to do business with a company that is,
01:08:52.980 uh, stress tested, I think is the right word. There's spot adds in Alberta. Um, all right,
01:08:59.040 let's just go into this one last thing about Trudeau and then we'll jump ahead to, uh, big
01:09:05.840 congratulations to Jagmeet Singh today. He's big, congrats, congrats to him. Um, but first, uh,
01:09:13.760 financial times, uh, this is, I'm just bringing it up out of the corner of my eyeball. It's an
01:09:20.860 exclusive to the financial times. Peter Navarro, one of the U S president's closest advisors is
01:09:26.460 pushing for the U S to remove Canada from the five eyes intelligence sharing network, which also
01:09:32.880 includes the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Uh, this is, uh, I honestly, a long time coming,
01:09:41.760 uh, but we would, the Biden, the Biden administration would probably have nothing to do with it.
01:09:46.740 But the idea that we have a political situation in this country, so contaminated by Chinese
01:09:53.600 interference. Yes. Um, with nothing being done about it, except like a tiniest, tiniest slap on
01:09:59.600 the wrist to, uh, hand on just a little while ago where they are intimidating Canadian politicians
01:10:07.300 out of the consulate in Toronto and nothing really significant happened about it. Okay. You know
01:10:16.800 what? Probably right. We, we have thousands. It was revealed that we have thousands of, um, of,
01:10:25.640 of operating gangs in Canada that are dealing in fentanyl and, uh, and hard narcotics and CSIS,
01:10:33.960 CSIS, our intelligence community in Canada thinks that parental rights advocates, right. Okay. Are at
01:10:41.420 the greatest risk of bringing violence into the country. We have gang members and cartels operating
01:10:49.460 in the country. And if you go to the CSIS website, I promise go to the CSIS website and just search for
01:10:55.720 the word inclusion. You will die. You will die. This is an agency that's a, that's been absolutely
01:11:02.740 co-opted and infested with DEI initiatives instead of keeping their eyes on the prize and doing a good
01:11:10.780 job and keeping the nation of Canada safe. No, Navarro is absolutely right. Kick CSIS out, give
01:11:16.820 them a taste of their own medicine, give them a taste of their own medicine. You should, but none of the,
01:11:21.240 none of the other five eyes should feel confident with the intel that CSIS is providing. That's how
01:11:28.980 corrupt they are. Also, it should put the rest of the five eyes on notice. Uh, the UK, New Zealand,
01:11:35.400 Australia, tighten up your ship, tighten up your ship because there's a new sheriff in town and he's
01:11:42.620 not putting up with this. And, you know, like the, the Canadian military currently lowering their
01:11:48.220 standards full, also gone full DEI. So it makes it easier for people who shouldn't be in the military
01:11:55.620 to join the military. We've kicked out all the good people. I shouldn't say that, but we kicked out
01:12:01.380 all the conscientious objectors with a strong moral code when it came to vaccine mandates.
01:12:07.500 And so there are a lot of yes men left in the upper echelons of the chain of command. All of this
01:12:13.000 stuff is very worrying for our, uh, security and intelligence partners. Yes, it is. And it should be,
01:12:20.400 and it should be, when you let your institution be eroded to, by DEI initiatives, by, you know,
01:12:29.400 critical race theory, critical race theory, uh, uh, ideas. Um, you're taking, you're taking your eye
01:12:37.280 off the ball in a way that puts all Canadians at risk. And I'm, I'm more than delighted to see this
01:12:42.780 coming out of the United States. I'm more than delighted. This is the beginning of holding their
01:12:47.340 feet to the fire for their misdeeds over these last several years. Now, just now somebody gives
01:12:53.860 me an update to this story. The Hill now reports that the financial times, uh, got it wrong. So
01:13:00.100 I don't know. We're going to have to wait till Navarro, uh, issues a statement himself directly,
01:13:06.340 but now, uh, they're saying, uh, uh, it, uh, it was first reported in the financial times citing
01:13:16.780 people familiar with Navarro's efforts in the Trump administration, but Navarro then slammed the
01:13:21.760 piece to reporters noting the times didn't name it sources. Here's what he said. My view is that we
01:13:27.100 should never have to comment on any story where it's based on unnamed sources. He said, adding,
01:13:31.260 we would never, ever jeopardize our national security ever with allies like Canada ever.
01:13:38.480 So it was leaked. Maybe his official, this is listen, this is his official, this is his official
01:13:46.120 stance, but his unofficial stance is the other. That's what I get out of this. And this happens
01:13:52.280 all the time in media. This happens all the time in media where the official, the official narrative
01:13:58.560 narrative is very by the book. We would never do that. Oh, we would never think of such a thing,
01:14:02.720 but the unofficial narrative, the undercurrent of the whole thing, the way things are moving,
01:14:07.580 uh, is the thing that gets leaked in the beginning. So that's the, that's probably what,
01:14:12.000 what I'm going to go with on that. Yeah. I mean, and the Hill still quotes, uh,
01:14:18.020 the, uh, financial times reporting that says people familiar with this situation said Navarro,
01:14:24.840 a close Trump ally thinks the U S should be increasing pressure on Canada by removing it
01:14:30.320 from five eyes. The times reported, uh, it's not known if Trump has heard the idea or agrees with
01:14:36.460 it. So, but he said, uh, it would, he told the Hill, no, a five eyes official, sorry, a five eyes
01:14:48.000 official then told the times that removing Canada from the Alliance would be very dangerous in a
01:14:52.300 heightened threat environment. Navarro dismissed the notion Tuesday, telling reporters he proposed
01:14:57.380 that people don't pay attention to stories based on anonymous sources. Well, I'm paying attention.
01:15:02.200 And he said, that's all I got to say. We'll talk maybe later today. Huh? Well, stay tuned.
01:15:11.200 All right. Uh, let's go into, uh, our big congratulations to Jagmeet Singh,
01:15:18.420 because today is Jagmeet Singh's payday. Today, uh,
01:15:27.700 February 25th, 2025 Jagmeet Singh hit the jackpot by officially becoming eligible to earn his member
01:15:36.440 of parliament pension. And as I wrote at the time, I believe this was key in understanding his
01:15:41.620 unwavering and otherwise nonsensical support for Justin Trudeau's sometimes to freak out what I wrote.
01:15:47.420 Uh, support for Justin Trudeau's scandal ridden government. Canada's gold plated MP pension scheme
01:15:54.540 is the kind of retirement plan most Canadians can only dream of, especially in these tough economic
01:15:59.060 times created by those same MPs, by the way, it guarantees a comfortable post political life for
01:16:04.060 those who've served their country. Um, so his political pension hall, which could amass millions
01:16:10.660 of dollars over his lifetime. It's the real reason for his steadfast support of prime minister, Justin
01:16:16.900 Trudeau. And, uh, so anyways, he's just became a millionaire pensioner. And so if he loses a seat,
01:16:24.340 and, uh, I think he might, uh, he's just gonna float off on golden wings.
01:16:31.140 In the first class cabin of an air Canada flight, maybe he'll go somewhere else now,
01:16:38.260 because this is a guy that Canada does not need anymore to have any sort of role in public life,
01:16:44.160 not even a little bit such a sellout. He is $2.3 million pension. Uh,
01:16:51.260 he did this to us, kept this government in power, allowed them time to replace their leader with
01:17:02.540 Mark Carney, who will probably be worse, uh, turbocharged, uh, Trudeau. Yeah. And he did this
01:17:09.640 all to us, all to us to get himself $2.3 million. Who was it? Brett Wilson, who was going to fundraise
01:17:19.800 to just pay him out? Yes. And if he took private pension, yes, uh, we will replace,
01:17:25.600 we'll replace whatever you're getting from the government, just bow out now. And he didn't do
01:17:30.620 that. And you know why I think he didn't take Brett Wilson up on that offer, Sheila,
01:17:35.260 is because Jagmeet Singh is banking on a new deal with Mark Carney. Yes. I do believe that what happened
01:17:42.720 in France with the coalition of all the left leaning parties to defeat, uh, Marie
01:17:49.720 Le Pen is going to be something that's floated in Canada now, because if you add liberal support
01:17:56.780 and NDP support together, uh, that gets real, real close to conservative, to conservative seat
01:18:04.920 count. And I think that desperate times call for desperate measures, especially as it pertains to
01:18:10.020 the left. And we're going to see Jagmeet Singh jockeying for position with, with Mark Carney or whoever
01:18:16.620 ends up leaving the liberal party of Canada, because we know he has no ethics. We know that
01:18:22.020 he's morally bankrupt. We know that, you know, even in the face of Canadians, uh, dying of overdoses at
01:18:30.780 an unprecedented rate of tent cities popping up all over the country of people becoming homeless and,
01:18:38.300 uh, and addicted and, uh, and our entire sort of Western civilization falling apart. He won't act
01:18:46.680 on our behalf. We think that he's going to grow some moral balls now. He's not, he's looking for his
01:18:52.480 next deal. Watch, watch. Well, and here's why I think the deal is probably already done in the background
01:18:58.360 is because Justin Trudeau is out there appointing parliamentary secretaries, like it's going out
01:19:03.400 of style. And so if you would only, you would do that with the guarantee that those parliamentary
01:19:10.820 secretaries would live on after the reconvening of the house of commons. That's true. These,
01:19:18.860 the liberal party is not behaving like they've got one foot out the door. Do they, are they,
01:19:24.320 they're behaving like they're in it for the long haul? So they know something we don't,
01:19:29.480 I think. I think so too. I think so too. And we should, we should prepare for some pretty dark days,
01:19:35.480 Canada, if that's the case. We, if you can just imagine the kind of destruction that they could
01:19:42.500 reap upon the nation of Canada in six months, we'll just imagine that extrapolated over a year from
01:19:49.660 October. That's our next guaranteed election date is October, 2026. I mean, right. The destruction
01:19:57.060 that they could reap upon us is just incredible. And don't think that they're not planning it because
01:20:01.400 they're evil and bankrupt. And, and of course they are. Oh, they've, they've already hinted at it. So
01:20:06.720 they floated this thought bubble multiple times now. Uh, and we heard it again last night from
01:20:12.880 Freeland. So, and from Kearney. So Google, so three times that I know of just off the top of my
01:20:19.500 head, Karina Gould, who's also running in case you forgot. And I did a little bit. Um, I was reminded
01:20:25.500 again last night, I'm like, Oh yeah, Frank Bayless and Karina Gould still exist. Um, but Karina Gould
01:20:33.000 said we could delay the election because of the emergency situation of the Trump tariffs, delay the
01:20:39.880 election, but because it's such an emergency, but not reconvene parliament because it's such an
01:20:46.440 emergency. Okay. And then we saw Mark Carney say that he would use emergency powers to get things
01:20:55.300 done. Yeah. And then we heard Freeland say, this is an emergency akin to world war two.
01:21:03.960 That was guess what was prorogued the entirety of world war two parliament.
01:21:09.880 Parliament. That's exactly right. Well, if they do that to us, Canada, if they do that,
01:21:15.800 then I do believe America has a good reason to be very, very, very hostile towards Canada.
01:21:22.440 If they defy the Canadian public just to hold on to their last lingering months of power,
01:21:30.640 if they do that to us, then I think America has a really good, has a really good, uh,
01:21:35.320 uh, argument for being very, very firm with us. So at your own peril, liberals. Yeah. At your own peril.
01:21:45.720 Yeah. Don't do this Toronto. Don't do this. That's what I'm asking. Don't do this. Um, this next story,
01:21:53.180 uh, I want it injected into my veins, uh, and because it will make me younger. I think, uh,
01:22:01.660 this is adrenochrome for people like me, this story, uh, get on your bike says CBC. This is reported in
01:22:10.820 Black Locks who do incredible work. Um, it reads CBC reporters must fight climate change by riding
01:22:18.400 to assignments on bicycles, says a corporate report. The document. I just, I love it so much.
01:22:26.660 Like I said, inject this into my veins as a, just, uh, keep me young and vigorous. This story will,
01:22:33.780 the document did not mention what action would be taken by managers who take junkets overseas.
01:22:39.860 We intend to lead the Canadian media industry as a whole to do its part, to address climate change
01:22:44.500 by working to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
01:22:50.060 As if you could even measure what the average global temperature is, like try measuring the
01:22:56.700 average global temperature of your yard with 10 thermometers placed all over the place. Now try
01:23:01.300 to extrapolate that across the globe. And then you'll realize what a garbage target this is. It's
01:23:06.380 completely made up, uh, the task force on climate related financial disclosure. That's a mouthful of
01:23:13.220 gobbledygook. The CBC must embed environmentally sustainable thinking in everything we do.
01:23:19.020 Wait, keep going. Examples include introduction of electric bikes, new and sustainable ways to gather
01:23:25.340 news and sustainable commuting initiatives, such as bike workshops, installations of bike shelters,
01:23:32.540 and the availability of in-house bike repair shops. Sheila, can you believe that this? The CBC
01:23:44.060 owns, P.S., some of the most egregiously expensive real estate in the entire nation, okay? In every
01:23:51.340 province, they own a marble palace, like coated in gold with platinum toilets and ruby-encrusted
01:23:56.940 microphones. And they're going to install bike repair shops? Oh, I'm not done. Oh, I'm not done
01:24:04.380 with this. Lobby? Oh. Yes. Yes. Okay. These are people who probably couldn't change a tire on a car
01:24:11.580 too. Uh, so the report also recommended CBC script writers work climate references into docudramas. I
01:24:19.420 can't wait to see that storyline shoehorned into Murdoch mysteries, uh, TV sitcoms and other productions.
01:24:25.980 The good news is no one will ever see it. Management called it the introduction of green storytelling
01:24:33.980 courses for all scripted programmers to discuss how content creators can incorporate environmentalism
01:24:41.340 into their stories. Now, here's where it gets fun. This is hilarious. The report did not disclose what
01:24:50.060 steps CBC managers would personally take to reduce emissions. Travel expenses detailed through access to
01:24:55.580 information shows senior executives typically fly business class on overseas junkets and hire Uber
01:25:00.940 rather than walk between office buildings in downtown Ottawa. Catherine Tate, former CEO,
01:25:07.900 in a two-year period, billed a hundred, well, let's just round it up, $120,000 in travel expenses,
01:25:14.460 including business class flights to Hollywood for, quote, meetings with production industry
01:25:19.420 representatives, end quote. Tate also billed for a European tour to London, Brussels, and Geneva.
01:25:25.580 Michelle Bissonnette, then vice president of French services in 2023, booked business class
01:25:30.940 flights to Monaco with four days stay on the French Riviera. Monaco, you guys. Bissonnette also billed
01:25:37.900 $17.43 for an Uber driver to chauffeur him through downtown Ottawa from one Elgin street or Elgin street
01:25:46.940 to 30 Daily Avenue, an eight-minute walk. No reason was given. Let's not forget that Catherine Tate
01:25:54.380 also billed the taxpayer for her French holiday because she was like, I need to go to the Olympics,
01:26:01.740 as if any of us cared that Catherine Tate was at the Olympics. I mean, it would have been a national day
01:26:07.580 of mourning for Canadians, according to Catherine Tate, if she did not show her hot roots at the Olympic
01:26:13.180 ceremonies. Well, to hear her tell it, it was, it was unthinkable, Sheila, that she, her face wouldn't
01:26:19.820 be seen at the, at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in France. And it just so happened that she
01:26:26.060 was on a private holiday there. It just so happened that she was in the area and spent...
01:26:31.180 A happy accident. Such a coincidence for Catherine Tate. No, but I can't, like, this is, this is just
01:26:38.140 the absolute best thing that could happen to the CBC is forcing their reporters to get on bikes to do
01:26:44.380 their, to do their, to do their reporting. Sheila, you'll remember a story in Regina. This is, goes back
01:26:50.940 on Twitter. It's got to be 10, 12, 13 years ago. There was a bike in Regina that was like powering a
01:26:58.940 light bulb, right? To show people how much, remember this? And the leftists were all like
01:27:03.820 super jazzed. It was in the park. So, so you get on this bike and just pedal your little arse off and
01:27:09.260 try and light up the light bulb. Anyway, this vapid leftist who is a bike enthusiast and who's like,
01:27:14.940 I would never drive a car. I'm saving the earth. He got on this light up bike
01:27:20.060 and immediately had a heart attack. Like, like right there. Right. I remember. Yes. Had to get
01:27:28.840 carted off in an ambulance, in a not solar powered ambulance, if you know what I mean in Canada. But
01:27:35.980 that was the, that was just one of the funniest things that's ever happened is, is this a bike
01:27:40.180 enthusiast that had an heart attack right off the... I remember it was like in 2012 or something.
01:27:44.940 It was the funniest thing. It was just hilarious. Yeah. And then his life was saved because of,
01:27:50.140 uh, because of a gas powered, um, ambulance. Yeah. I'm sure he didn't want, I'm sure he didn't
01:27:56.780 want the paddles charged by a guy on a bike, right? Absolutely not. It just showed the hypocrisy.
01:28:04.300 Anyway, uh, if this is going to get the CBC in shape and a little bit better looking, I'm all for it.
01:28:10.940 I'm all for it. I am here for Andrew Coyne, having a bike over to the ad issue panel.
01:28:20.220 Could you just imagine, could you imagine him and Chantel Ebert on one of the double bikes?
01:28:29.660 Oh gosh. Just the thought of it. Oh, we're getting silly. We can tell we're near the end of the show
01:28:35.580 because we get all giggly like this. We are at the end of the show. Uh, I will be back here later
01:28:41.340 on tonight for the, uh, liberal party leadership debate with Ezra. And I think we've got some
01:28:49.820 rotating guests too. Um, so it'll be a long day in the chair, in the little dungeon under the stairs,
01:28:55.580 but, uh, there's nobody else I would rather, uh, watch with than all of our rebel news viewers at home.
01:29:02.780 So, uh, stay tuned. It will be on YouTube and of course rumble. Um, and hopefully you can do the
01:29:08.940 same, get involved, leave us some chats and, uh, let us know what you think about the, uh,
01:29:15.260 Mark Carney coronation, I guess. All right. I think that's it. Lise, thank you so much
