00:01:07.460 Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, depending on which part of this beautiful country

00:01:11.880 that you're in. For both of your hosts today, it's still morning. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed,

00:01:16.480 the regular host of Rebel Roundup. It's our daily news and opinion show where you get our hot takes,

00:01:22.580 our spicy takes, and sometimes our cold takes. And joining me today is Lise Merle,

00:01:27.640 beloved Rebel News contributor from beautiful Regina, Saskatchewan. Lise, how's it going?

00:01:34.520 Well, hello, my darling Sheila Gunn-Reed, and hello, Rebel fam. What an absolute packed show we have for

00:01:41.160 you today. The world has not slowed down. The world is just speeding up, and our snow globes are being

00:01:47.460 shaken on every front, and we're here to help you unpack it and make sense of it all. I already see

00:01:53.340 in the rumble chat, somebody says they're too foul-tempered to participate, so she's just going

00:01:58.240 to watch while doing housework. Yeah, me too. Thanks so much for joining us. Common sentiment,

00:02:04.980 common sentiment. But no, it's great to be here, and yeah, what a day we have to unpack, Sheila.

00:02:10.880 Yeah, this is a wild and historic day. I'm actually feeling slightly privileged that we get to host the

00:02:16.460 show to help everybody sort of digest what's happening here. We'll be the Pepto-Bismol on the

00:02:22.880 stomachache of what the Liberals have done to our economy, thanks to their inaction on the border.

00:02:29.440 I'll tell everybody how they can get involved in the show. I'm sure you'll have a bunch to say,

00:02:34.040 friends at home. If you are watching us on Rumble, thank you so much for supporting that great

00:02:39.600 free speech platform. They've stood by Rebel News when all the forces of social media wanted us to just

00:02:46.980 wither and die on the vine. You can support the work that we do over there on Rumble by leaving a

00:02:54.260 Rumble rant. If your paid chat is over the $5 US cutoff, we're making it mandatory. We'll address

00:03:00.480 it on air. If it's under that, if we have time and we try to make time, we'll do our best to get to it,

00:03:07.580 but I can't make any guarantees. Now, if you are watching us on YouTube, then you know that we have

00:03:13.420 been recently remonetized over there. There are two ways to support our work over there. You can

00:03:19.240 leave a ... Oh, shoot. Super chat. I almost forgot what they were called. It's been so long since we

00:03:24.800 accepted them. Super chat over there. That's their paid chat. Same rules apply, but there's another

00:03:30.540 way that you can support us. If you are watching the recorded version of the live stream after the

00:03:36.060 fact because you have a job to go to, at least you still hopefully have a job to go to, although that

00:03:42.280 remains in question for about a million Canadians, thanks to the Liberals, you can leave a super

00:03:48.340 thanks. That's their after the fact paid comment. We appreciate every little bit because, as you know,

00:03:55.160 we'll never take a penny from Justin Trudeau to do the work that we do, and how could we hold him

00:04:00.480 to account if we did? I mean, everything is tainted if government money touches it, generally speaking.

00:04:06.900 Um, we've got, uh, just a jam-packed show today, but let's start with what's happening.

00:04:16.680 President Donald J. Trump proceeds with, this is from the White House, this is their fact sheet,

00:04:22.120 proceeds with tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. Now, thankfully in Alberta, we're skating,

00:04:28.960 sort of, with a 10% tariff on Canadian oil and gas. I don't know how long that'll stick,

00:04:34.820 considering it's going to rise the price of the pump, uh, for the Midwest, and I don't think

00:04:39.720 Trump wants that, um, because that's something that'll hit people first, and you, you gotta go

00:04:45.380 to work. You just gotta go to work. So, um, he says, while, and this remains true, while President

00:04:53.280 Trump gave both Canada and Mexico ample opportunity to curb the dangerous cartel activity and influx of

00:04:59.320 lethal drugs flowing into our country, they have failed to adequately address the situation.

00:05:04.320 I, I, I don't substantially disagree. The flow of contraband drugs like fentanyl into the United

00:05:09.880 States through illicit distribution networks has created a national emergency, including a public

00:05:13.960 health crisis. Like a real public health crisis, by the way, not like the other one that we just

00:05:18.620 went through. Mexican drug trafficking organizations, the world's leading fentanyl traffickers,

00:05:23.220 operate unhindered due to an intolerable relationship with the government of Mexico.

00:05:27.160 We can go, we'll just skip through that. There's a growing presence of Mexican cartels operating

00:05:33.480 fentanyl and nidazine synthesis labs in Canada, the super labs. A recent study recognized Canada's

00:05:41.060 heightened domestic production of fentanyl and its growing footprint within international

00:05:44.520 narcotics distribution. Canada-based drug trafficking organizations maintain robust, here we go,

00:05:50.260 super labs, mostly in rural and dense areas in Western Canada. This is true, 100% true. Some of which

00:05:56.560 can produce 44 to 66 pounds of fentanyl weekly. That's enough to kill everybody in Alberta,

00:06:01.200 by the way. Last year's northern border fentanyl seizures, though smaller than Mexico's, could kill

00:06:07.700 9.5 million Americans due to the drugs. Potency proof of Canada's growing role in the crisis.

00:06:15.280 Fentanyl seizures at the northern border in the first four months of this fiscal year are quickly

00:06:19.080 closing in on what was seized the entirety of fiscal year 2022. Both nations' failure to arrest

00:06:25.960 traffickers, seize drugs, or coordinate with U.S. law enforcement constitutes an unusual and

00:06:30.580 extraordinary threat to America's security, demanding action to enforce accountability and

00:06:35.560 protect Americans' lives. He told us what he was going to do to us. He actually delayed the tariffs

00:06:46.440 to give us time to do something about it. Daniel Smith valiantly tried here in Alberta.

00:06:55.940 But we can't carry the load for this entire nation. And here we are.

00:06:59.560 No, this should not come as any surprise to us whatsoever. Instead of addressing this head

00:07:09.640 on, our prime minister went on a vacation to Europe to churn up support for the Ukrainian

00:07:17.960 war, the meat grinder of the Ukrainian war. Everybody, every single loser that's gunning for

00:07:24.560 his job right now, is on a cross-country back patting tour. And this did not come as any surprise

00:07:31.700 at all. If they were at all interested in working in the best interest of Canadians, they would have

00:07:38.240 been on this full time in Washington or at Mar-a-Lago or wherever the people are that are making these

00:07:44.460 decisions. And the truth is, they weren't interested in working on behalf of Canadians.

00:07:49.920 They weren't. This is not their priority. Their priority is to keep antagonizing the United States

00:07:59.160 on behalf of their elite, you know, NATO countries of the world and keep promoting a war that nobody here

00:08:09.580 asked for or be wants. Yeah, I mean, wild Justin Trudeau's, Justin Trudeau's response was

00:08:16.900 staggering, staggeringly off base. This Justin Trudeau, um, failed to secure our border failed

00:08:25.760 to stop fentanyl failed to meet our NATO commitments failed to make us more productive. He failed to make

00:08:31.140 or he failed to respect our trade agreements. And he went as far as to mock and insult Trump for the

00:08:38.960 last four years. That post is from Marty up north on X. And I thought it was perfect. And thanks so

00:08:44.420 much, Marty. But but he absolutely 100% right. I would just like one adult in the room at this point,

00:08:51.800 like I would just I would be happy with one adult from Canada in the room to take on this file.

00:08:56.380 But this again, this antagonistic and and and really off base approach is not going to serve us. It is as

00:09:05.220 a matter of fact, it's going to harm us. Nobody, not a single person except Daniel Smith. And to some

00:09:11.380 extent late to the game, Scott Mo thought, we need to bring the heat down. We need to bring the heat

00:09:18.640 down. Instead, they just ramped it up and up and up. And I've got my own theories for that, which we'll

00:09:23.560 talk about in a little bit. But let's stay on what Trump has to say here. Now that he's ripped the

00:09:32.640 bandaid off. Now all of the grievances against Canada are coming out. You know, we may as well

00:09:39.240 point out some other things that the Americans have problems with us. So Trump says Canada doesn't

00:09:46.640 allow American banks to do business in Canada, but their banks flood the American market. Does that

00:09:53.440 doesn't seem fair, does it? Now, I think that's not entirely true. I mean, the American banks,

00:09:59.600 some of them do do business here, but it's really onerous to do business here. I mean,

00:10:05.820 it is that way for Canadian companies.

00:10:07.420 The regulatory requirements. Yeah. The regulatory requirements in Canada are so much greater than

00:10:15.720 those in the United States. And that's why we don't have reciprocal banking in Canada like they do in

00:10:22.420 the, like Canadian banks do in the United States. Now, Donald Trump, now the poaching and the fishing

00:10:29.460 starts, right? So he says that, I think this is, sorry, was this on Truth Social? That's his own

00:10:38.500 social media platform. He says, if companies move to the United States, there are no tariffs. Well,

00:10:43.720 isn't that good news for Mark Carney, who moved Brookfield Asset Management to the United States

00:10:50.160 back in November, at least that's when the shareholder vote was, because all these people

00:10:55.420 knew. Every single liberal, well-connected operative and all these liberal cabinet ministers,

00:11:01.960 they knew from the very beginning. And I asked Premier Daniel Smith about this at our year-end

00:11:06.200 interview. They knew they could not campaign against the Conservatives on their own record.

00:11:11.940 So they thought we'll pivot and we'll campaign against Donald Trump. One million Canadian jobs be

00:11:19.020 damned. And those are the numbers. One million Canadian jobs are at stake right now. I think it's

00:11:24.840 probably more, but each one of those is a Canadian family. So let's just say four to five million

00:11:29.920 people are going to be directly touched by this. And the liberals thought, okay, that's the cost of

00:11:36.100 doing business. And they're well-connected friends like Mark Carney. They started moving their companies

00:11:40.700 out of Canada back in advance. This was the plan from the very beginning. Absolutely. Yes. Absolutely.

00:11:48.380 Yes. Sheila. That is exactly what happened. This was a result of a pre-prescribed plan that the liberals

00:11:58.200 came up with in an effort to hang on to power. They saw the writing was on the wall with the polls over

00:12:04.360 the last two years, seeing them sink deeper and deeper and deeper down in the polls. I mean, the liberals

00:12:09.920 and the NDP together couldn't take on the Conservatives as of about a month ago. I mean, on one hand,

00:12:16.080 it is brilliant. On the other hand, it is devious and destructive and unforgivable,

00:12:24.520 unforgivable, especially when Parliament is prorogued and we do not have a functioning government,

00:12:30.900 especially when tensions are so, so hot internationally in terms of what's happening

00:12:39.960 in Russia and Ukraine. What we need is temperate people to make good decisions on our behalf. And

00:12:47.720 it doesn't seem as though if you put all of these people together in a room, they'd be capable of

00:12:52.140 doing that even once. It is, I mean, it is just, it is just soul crushing to watch them unravel.

00:12:57.840 Yeah, it did not have to be this way. It did not have to be this way. And Trump campaigned on it. He

00:13:07.340 campaigned on this. They had lots of lead time to deal with this. And the liberals never did because

00:13:13.620 it serves them. These are a million Canadian jobs, a million Canadian families just thrown on the bonfire

00:13:21.440 to keep the liberals warm. It's absolutely outrageous. And yeah, nobody, not a cooler head

00:13:34.320 prevailed. Even this week, they could have done something drastic, especially after seeing what

00:13:41.460 Trump and J.D. Vance did to Zelensky. Now, whatever you feel about whether or not Zelensky deserved it,

00:13:49.580 and I gave my opinions yesterday on the show after watching the full 50 minute exchange of the slow

00:13:55.960 burn before the Americans actually said anything about Zelensky's petulance. But whatever you feel

00:14:02.580 about that, everybody knows that Zelensky is the Western world's darling. He's the media darling.

00:14:11.880 And Trump and J.D. Vance didn't give a damn. America felt disrespected and they mauled him like a hungry

00:14:23.140 bear in front of the world to see. So did our politicians think that anything different would

00:14:31.820 happen to us, especially when the Western world has sort of lost patience with the liberals and their

00:14:36.720 nonsense here in Canada? Yeah, no, no, that's exactly right. Did they think that they were

00:14:42.360 going to these arguably Zelensky was was much more tactful and showed a lot more contrition than

00:14:51.780 Canadian politicians have in these in in these last couple of days. I mean, it is a wild for them to

00:14:58.980 think that they could publicly call Donald Trump dumb, call his policies inane, insult him and his

00:15:10.540 administration. Compare him to Nazis. Go ahead. Like, I'm just saying they've compared him to a Nazi

00:15:16.360 several times this week. Like we had Carney or Freeland. They're indistinguishable at this point. I think

00:15:23.440 they just wear different sized ladies pantsuits. They they both decided that they're Churchill,

00:15:31.360 which would make the enemy the Nazis. You know, that's ridiculous. But even conjuring even conjuring

00:15:39.280 that language, that language that that takes everybody with with even a rudimentary knowledge

00:15:45.440 of world history into a wartime into a into a wartime headspace. Christian Freeland suggesting that

00:15:53.980 Canada should partner with Great Britain and France nuclear capable come countries against the United

00:16:00.340 States. This is madness. It is madness. And there's no ability for Canadians to be able to stop this.

00:16:10.220 None. Zero. Zilch. Nothing. It is wild what is happening. And just a heads up, viewers, just a

00:16:17.140 heads up. Probably later, we're going to show the face and voice of the Prime Minister of Canada. I see

00:16:22.120 you in the group chat. I see I see how you hate it. However, it is. However, it is so important for us

00:16:28.520 to document these events in these moments in lifetime. Because what what happens later, we'll be able to

00:16:35.280 make sense of by looking back on what's happening today. So just please forgive us in advance.

00:16:40.100 And just real quick, Sheila, I see a whole bunch of people being like, who is that lady with Sheila?

00:16:44.800 Who is that lady with Sheila?

00:16:49.160 I'm Lee Smurl. I'm a writer and mom of six from Saskatchewan and Sheila's bestie in real life. So

00:16:55.120 hello. Hello, everybody watching. And now you know who I am. So this is your you're just you're just

00:17:02.220 witnessing what me and Sheila do all day every day for fun. And welcome. We are so happy to have you

00:17:08.060 here. Yes. So anyway, let's continue Sheila. Yeah. And you're just to be clear, you're not just some

00:17:13.120 walk on. You're a broadcaster from Saskatchewan for years. The most important thing you do is as a mom

00:17:22.540 of six, but you recently in efforts to hold the school system to account in Saskatchewan, you ran

00:17:28.500 for the school board there, got actually pretty close to winning, considering the political

00:17:36.040 interference of the unions and the school boards there. And yeah, so parental rights activist and

00:17:45.020 also former broadcaster and our Tuesday host. And does we're working on something else in the

00:17:51.400 background to hold the people in Saskatchewan to account. But that's just a hint. We'll get to that

00:17:56.940 in a second. Let's just bring up that tweet from Justin Trudeau, because this is Justin Trudeau

00:18:04.260 put on his bad idea jeans this morning. I think he has many pairs. This one, he says the moment US

00:18:11.540 tariffs came into effect, bad idea jeans. So did the Canadian response. Canada will be implementing

00:18:18.260 25% tariffs against $155 billion of American products with starting with $30 billion worth of

00:18:25.320 goods immediately and the remaining $125 billion in 21 days time. Bad idea jeans. Why? Because

00:18:32.800 Trump has said repeatedly, I will put reciprocal retaliatory tariffs on everything that you do. So

00:18:39.100 if you add 25%, if you respond to 25% to mine, you're getting 50. And this is what, so Trump said,

00:18:48.460 please explain to Governor Trudeau of Canada that when he puts on a retaliatory tariff on the US,

00:18:52.800 our reciprocal tariff will immediately increase by a like amount. So Trudeau's just hammered back with

00:18:59.400 25. He's going to get 50. We do not have the size of economy to respond in any sort of effective way.

00:19:05.980 We just don't.

00:19:07.380 Truly not. Their economy is tens and tens and tens of times larger than ours, as is their consumer base.

00:19:16.740 And what is so staggering is watching our federal government in addition to our provincial governments

00:19:24.660 saying, well, quickly, we've got to get our, all of our decks in a row and we've got to remove

00:19:28.820 barriers to interprovincial trade. And we have to, we have to create an economy for all of our products

00:19:34.480 and we're going to, and meanwhile, every Canadian is going, you guys have had nine years to do this.

00:19:40.720 You guys have had nine years to put up these safeguards and you didn't. What, what this is,

00:19:46.060 is a staggering example of our federal and provincial governments not being able to read the

00:19:51.360 room. They assumed that Trump would never win again. They assumed that he was a one and done

00:19:56.520 president and that he was going to be, when he was shown the door in 2020, uh, and, and we know what

00:20:01.880 happened in 2020, you know, those of us in the know, but when they assumed that they were never going

00:20:06.880 to have to deal with him again and drastically overplayed their hand. Now we in Canada are an

00:20:13.200 intrinsically delicate position where it doesn't appear as though anybody in the provincial government

00:20:19.280 or anybody in the, in, in the federal government knows what to do at this point. It's, and, and,

00:20:26.940 and even this will even go so far as, uh, Pierre Polly have most recently saying, you know,

00:20:32.520 he's going to take the same hardline approach as the federal government and as many of the

00:20:37.800 provincial premiers. Um, when, when the rest of us, and especially in Western Canada are seeing this as

00:20:44.880 a play to those Eastern Canadian voters. And that is so disheartening as well, because the last thing

00:20:51.420 we want, the last thing that we wanted was a fight with our dearest neighbor and closest friends in the

00:20:57.440 United States of America, what would have made sense is to nip this in the bud right at the

00:21:03.220 beginning. They did not, like I said, they had prior other priorities over this last month,

00:21:07.620 gallivanting around Europe, um, doing this circus sideshow of a leadership of a, of a leadership,

00:21:14.920 uh, uh, a leadership race for the liberal party of Canada all while, uh, they would just,

00:21:22.180 they would feed us to the wolves. It's crazy. It is this, this without question,

00:21:26.500 it's the craziest week to be alive ever in Canada. This is just a wild, it is wild.

00:21:33.140 The liberals have done some really terrible things, like really terrible. I could list them

00:21:38.460 for days. It's part of my job actually documenting it. But this, I think is the worst thing that they

00:21:46.480 have ever done to Canadians. And I include the carbon tax and the killing of pipelines and all of

00:21:51.860 that because they sacrifice or could sacrifice. We're willing to sacrifice 1 million Canadian jobs.

00:22:02.060 That's single Canadian jobs. So again, I reiterate, that's a family behind every single one of those

00:22:06.360 jobs to save themselves in the polls, like a million Canadian jobs to buy and pro parliament,

00:22:17.760 you know, pro parliament in the middle of this tariff emergency. While they can't pick a lane,

00:22:26.700 they're talking about, this is like a wartime. They're claiming to be Churchill, um, that they

00:22:32.900 would use emergency measures, but not enough to get your butts back to work. Like not enough to get

00:22:38.480 your butts back in the seat. They should have been the second Trump was like, yeah, you're going to get

00:22:42.880 tariffs. That should have been the end of it. That should have been the end of prorogation. But

00:22:46.860 for the liberals that would not have allowed them to run a leadership race, they would have ended up

00:22:50.980 falling in an election. And we would have had somebody better suited and better tempered to

00:22:56.300 deal with Trump, somebody without all the baggage of nine years of Trump bashing, by the way.

00:23:02.040 But the liberals to save themselves, they couldn't do that for Canadians because they love themselves

00:23:07.540 more than they love this country. You just brought up a really interesting point with,

00:23:12.580 with Pierre Polyev coming out with, with really strong language against the United States and,

00:23:18.400 and sort of taking the same approach as the federal government, you know, that doesn't bode well

00:23:24.100 for, for being able to negotiate with Trump, regardless of the outcome of our next federal election.

00:23:31.760 Like it doesn't position him from a place of, uh, you know, neighborly goodwill or, or, or, or,

00:23:39.020 or, or any kind of loyalty to our closest friends and neighbors in the United States. Like this is

00:23:44.480 going to have long lasting, really profound, uh, profound outcomes for, for the country,

00:23:51.440 for the nation of Canada, for our economy and for our, uh, peace and prosperity. And,

00:23:56.960 and none of it is good.

00:23:58.220 Yeah. Like Danielle Smith is taking the approach that a good relationship with the Americans is

00:24:04.040 good for both of us. I wish Polyev had said like, look, I am running to lead Canada. I am a Canada

00:24:12.280 first guy. Of course you want that. Like you want your leader to be Canada first instead of Justin

00:24:17.660 Trudeau being world first, instead of Canada first, we've lived through somebody who does that,

00:24:23.080 but he also should say, look, the Americans have some great points. I don't have a latent

00:24:31.040 anti-Americanism living within me. I don't have nine years of antagonistic rhetoric against the

00:24:40.060 Americans. I am the person best suited to advance Canadian interests, address the concerns the Americans

00:24:47.340 have raised with us because that's in the best interest of Canadians. There were, there are other

00:24:52.400 ways to move this forward and to position yourself as the guy who's not the liberals to, to show like

00:24:59.760 the liberals have failed in dealing with Trump and their chickens have come home to roost and the

00:25:07.320 tree is tall and the branches are bendy because it's just covered in chickens. Uh, but we're not

00:25:13.760 making that point quite yet. Hopefully they will. I mean, honestly, honestly, we've got to,

00:25:19.360 we've got to, we've got to do a pretty hard course correction and read the room as it pertains to

00:25:25.660 this, uh, to this trade war. I get, uh, I don't want to, I don't want to call it a war, but hell,

00:25:33.160 if Chrystia Freeland is calling in the nukes from Britain and France, we'll do, we'll call it a war,

00:25:37.980 but we, but we, but we do need calmer heads to prevail. And we really do need to concentrate on the good

00:25:44.400 working relationships that we've enjoyed with the United States since, uh, since, yeah, I mean,

00:25:50.540 well, infederation. Someone has to point out that the liberals have made it impossible for Trump to

00:25:59.300 negotiate with them. They are the wrong people. He doesn't like them. It's the same problem that

00:26:05.340 Ukraine has with Zelensky. Now, how do you send Zelensky back to the United States and say like,

00:26:12.440 oh, mulligan. I, I, I was a little bit hot there. Like you can't do that. So something has to change

00:26:20.340 and the liberals are not the right people to be dealing with Trump right now. He really dislikes

00:26:25.220 them, especially Freeland. Um, but Mark Carney, I mean, his comments when he was in Corona,

00:26:30.460 no better. He's just as bad. No better. As a, as a matter of fact, I think that he would be

00:26:36.220 arguably more dangerous to negotiate, um, especially a multi-year deal on behalf of Canadians when he has

00:26:44.360 never had a single vote cast for him by Canadians, when he is untested, untrusted and unwanted.

00:26:51.880 This having Mark Carney, having Mark Carney negotiated on our behalf would be an unmitigated disaster.

00:26:57.640 And, and honestly, uh, short of, short of, uh, a miracle, I think that's who we're going to get.

00:27:04.660 Yeah. That's who we're going to get sadly. Yep. I mean, but it just, it just does show the corruption,

00:27:10.560 the corruption of our, um, of our election system in Canada and how this was not only allowed to happen,

00:27:19.480 um, but, but designed to happen like this against us, against our best interest. I mean that we are

00:27:27.300 not a serious country. I would just fall back on that. We are not a serious country. We've got more

00:27:30.980 things broken in this country than we have worked in at this time. And, uh, and, and no matter what

00:27:36.240 happens, no matter what happens, if the liberals are negotiating on our behalf with Donald Trump,

00:27:40.700 we are in a, in for a world of hurt. Yeah. Screwed. We're screwed. We're screwed. Screwed. Um,

00:27:47.060 just completely, uh, Rand Paul, uh, Republican says, uh, and he's a very free market. I would

00:27:56.320 suggest, uh, more of a libertarian than even a Republican. He says, U S tariffs inevitably bring

00:28:04.000 Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese tariffs, which means higher prices for lumber, steel, aluminum,

00:28:09.880 and more expensive homes and cars. Now I think Trump has looked at this and said for a time,

00:28:16.280 uh, until, uh, manufacturing ramps up in the United States and that could take years, but that is also

00:28:25.740 what he campaigned on. He campaigned in turning the rust belt back to the chrome belt. He campaigned in

00:28:31.880 repatriating jobs that were lost to overseas. Um, this is what, this is what he promised he would do.

00:28:39.660 And, uh, I don't know why anybody is surprised by it. Well, they, you know, the reason why they're

00:28:47.620 surprised by it, Sheila, is because they had, they had so written him off that they weren't paying

00:28:53.500 attention to what he was saying. Like they immediately write everything he, Donald Trump says off as, uh,

00:29:01.120 as you know, hysterical and far right. And, you know, not, uh, misinformation and disinformation.

00:29:08.000 They were so busy working inside their own validation circles that they missed the writing

00:29:13.600 on the wall in front of their faces. And this is what, this is what's really, really obvious in this

00:29:20.380 time is they were so interested in advancing their own, you know, their crazy green initiatives in

00:29:27.960 chasing carbon tax in, in, uh, in bringing in 5 million new Canadians to Canada and, and not dealing

00:29:38.580 with any of the issues, uh, not dealing with any of the issues that that brought, that they missed

00:29:44.300 the writing on the wall that was right in front of them. I mean, it was just an unmitigated disaster

00:29:51.320 and unforgivable as far as I'm concerned. Unforgivable. Do you know what I think too,

00:29:55.580 is some of it is culture shock. So they are used to, uh, and this happens on the left and the right

00:30:03.620 politicians laying supine on the floor, pleading for someone to like them. Um, and that's why they

00:30:09.640 were so like dumbfounded with how JD Vance and, uh, Trump treated Zelensky. And so they are shocked

00:30:20.340 that a politician is doing exactly what he said he would do as quickly as he said he would do it.

00:30:27.660 And so they're like, what, what, what, what? I thought we had years. I thought we had years.

00:30:32.320 I thought this would be like Stephen Harper's hidden agenda that was so hidden. We haven't found

00:30:36.160 it in the 10 years since he's been gone. Uh, they, I think, I think that's what a lot of the problem

00:30:41.740 is. They're like, wait, he's actually doing what he campaigned on. Oh, dang. Now what do we do?

00:30:46.820 And I think it's catching the media flat-footed, but it's catching the world flat-footed. But, uh,

00:30:52.360 this is, uh, to use the language of Alex Jones, the new world order, I think.

00:30:58.900 Yes, this is it. It's happening. We are, we are watching an American dismantling of the new world

00:31:06.040 order right now. I mean, they're just not sure, quite sure what to do. But again, what a,

00:31:10.900 you know, what a blessing it is that Donald Trump had a full four years to be able to observe all of

00:31:20.280 the rotten parts of the corrupt government in the United States to be able to come back swinging

00:31:26.280 the way he did. Oh man, that, that meeting was just incredible. That meeting was to, whoa,

00:31:32.020 I mean, this, so Zelensky is a man, Zelensky is a man who is used, who is used to meeting with world

00:31:42.120 leaders who just gently cup his testicles. Okay. Just gently cup them. And just baby him and praise

00:31:51.800 him and tell him what, what a good, now, whether Zelensky even knows that all of those world leaders

00:31:58.280 are just interested in getting in on the take of, of a wildly corrupt Ukraine is, is, who knows,

00:32:05.240 who knows what his, his motivation is, but this is a man who was not being, who was not used to being

00:32:11.720 treated with any kind of truth or authority in his life. This is, I mean, obviously not, but,

00:32:18.000 but grossly misandles on his, I love the, I love the, um, ambassador to the Ukraine, just like sit,

00:32:23.840 sit like slunking lower and lower in her chair, just wanting the earth to open up and swallow her

00:32:29.800 whole. Like I felt her in that moment. It was such a disaster. But I mean, what a telling moment for us.

00:32:37.720 What a telling moment for us. We've got to witness what diplomacy looks like when they're at the private

00:32:44.460 lunches after typically, you know what I mean? We only get the glossed over version where they have

00:32:49.420 their official flags in the background and they have all of their little people behind them and they have

00:32:53.800 their lines all set up. That was a, that was an incredible unvarnished moment to be able to

00:33:00.220 witness. And I want more public, publicly accessible meetings between leaders like that. Like I want

00:33:07.980 more of this in our lives, like this level of accountability, this level of transparency.

00:33:13.620 Do you know what Trump said that in that meeting? He said, I'm glad that everybody got to see this.

00:33:20.180 He said that towards the end. He's like, yeah, I'm glad everybody got to see this.

00:33:23.800 Um, my immediate reaction was, uh, Zielinski aside, uh, and his ingratitude at the moment.

00:33:32.700 I thought, good golly, what's about to happen to Mark Carney? Like what is about to happen to Mark

00:33:40.240 Carney? It's going to be a public dismantling of him. I mean, the funeral director vibes coming out of

00:33:48.720 Mark Carney meeting the, the alpha male bull energy of Donald Trump. Oh, it'll just be great. Actually,

00:33:56.340 I kind of look forward to that. I can't. I do. I mean, that's the upside. That's the upside of the

00:34:01.840 pain that we're all about to experience. Thanks to the liberals mismanagement is that we'll get these

00:34:07.660 little glimpses of reprieve when we watch our, the, the funeral director of our economy, uh, getting

00:34:15.140 absolutely ragdolled by president Trump. I mean, please, please put Carney in the yellow chair,

00:34:23.220 Trump, please put him in the yellow chair, have all the cameras there, be ready to go. We can't

00:34:27.580 wait to see it. I mean, if there is a silver lining to this, that will be it. And I think that

00:34:32.000 these days we have to look for silver linings. We must, because it is so easy to get, to get dragged

00:34:37.600 down by all of this. I mean, by, by, by every world event that we're being bombarded with for

00:34:43.980 those of us that are very, very engaged, uh, we need those little, we need those little silver

00:34:48.760 lining moments and things to look forward to. So I, I also look forward to the boiled potatoes of the

00:34:54.020 at issue panel, uh, clutching their pearls and flinging themselves on the fainting couch as they deal

00:35:00.040 with Mark Carney's dismantling at the hands of president Trump. Um, now let's move on to this

00:35:06.680 national post article. I know we've got some chats. We'll get to it right after this. And we probably

00:35:10.020 have a rebel ad probably to get to you also. Um, so Trump's big issue is the border. Canadian

00:35:17.940 officials, border officials say they weren't sure what Trump wanted them to do. Uh, stop the

00:35:22.940 trafficking of fentanyl, like just your, your job, I guess, probably. Right. Um, the Tristan Hopper,

00:35:32.300 he's actually quite good lately. Um, he says whatever fentanyl and illegal migration existed was

00:35:39.480 curbed dramatically in the recent weeks. Okay. Yes. But also no, because we still have the super labs

00:35:47.540 just in BC, we have still have people getting pulled over inside of Saskatchewan, inside of BC

00:35:55.620 with kilograms of fentanyl. And so what are we doing about that? Because that a lot of that is

00:36:04.520 not for domestic use. When you have kilograms of fentanyl enough to kill the entire province of

00:36:09.360 Alberta, that's not staying here. So where's it going? That's right. That's exactly right. No, it,

00:36:15.460 it, it, it originates somewhere else. And that makes its way across the country. And the argument

00:36:20.800 that, you know, they, they've made significant increases in fentanyl busts in these last couple

00:36:28.760 weeks, and that should be considered a win. It's like, well, no guys, like that just goes to show

00:36:34.620 you how little you were doing on this file before your hand was forced. And it wasn't forced by anybody

00:36:40.760 in Canada. It was forced by Donald Trump. It was forced by Donald Trump. So, I mean,

00:36:47.060 I mean, this just continues to be a disaster just unfolding in front of our eyes. And

00:36:51.720 well, we're all captive audiences, aren't we?

00:36:55.760 It reminds me of the attitude of someone who's trying to like fit into their wedding dress.

00:37:01.680 So you buy it two sizes too small. And then you don't do anything about it until a week before your

00:37:07.960 wedding. And you're like, oh, no problem. I'll lose 15 pounds this week. That is exactly what

00:37:15.320 the border officials have done. You know?

00:37:18.020 Yes. Yes, exactly that. Exactly that. But nobody, I mean, there was no expectation and there was no

00:37:24.300 accountability before. So why would, I mean, why would they put themselves out and put themselves

00:37:28.880 in danger by busting these guys? If they're, you know what I mean? If there wasn't any appetite for it,

00:37:33.320 nobody was demanding it of them, why would they? I can't, I can't fault the guys that are, you know,

00:37:39.360 stationed on the outer posts of, of our, of our long and sort of barren border, unguarded border.

00:37:47.900 But, but man, to say that, to say that they've, you know, they really, they really done a good job

00:37:52.520 these last couple of weeks. Well, it's just going to show you what a bad job you've been doing over

00:37:56.700 the last couple of years. Yeah. Like I don't, I'm not holding the CBSA agents accountable for the

00:38:04.500 nonsense and a lack of work being done by, uh, Justin Trudeau's former babysitter, uh, Dominic

00:38:12.660 LeBlanc as public safety minister on the issue. Uh, we've got a couple of two, three chats and then

00:38:20.120 an ad read from our friends at sticker pack. We'll hit a rebel news ad break, and then we'll go into

00:38:24.880 the laundry list of stupid things Trudeau has said today about the tariffs, because again,

00:38:32.200 it's, he is trying to make it worse. Uh, and I think it's self-serving for him to try to make

00:38:38.380 it worse. And he also says that he's maybe I won't be leaving. And I'm like, what has this all been

00:38:43.920 for? Um, so we've got roly poly oly. Haven't seen that name in a long time. Uh, two bucks. Trudeau,

00:38:49.860 Trudy needs to go. Well, he's hinting that he might stay on a little bit.

00:38:55.120 Apparently he says that there's things to do, whatever that means. Uh, then we've got seven.

00:39:01.040 Go ahead. Please. No, like, please. No, no, God. No. Like that office meme. No, please. God. No,

00:39:07.100 no, no. Change the locks. Change the locks on the PMO, please. Uh, sevenfold, seven, seven,

00:39:13.920 seven gives us five bucks. Ready to go grocery shopping at the dollar store and food banks.

00:39:17.920 Yeah. You and about a million other Canadians. It's terrible.

00:39:21.800 We feel you. Sevenfold, seven, seven, seven. We feel that so hard. Yeah. Uh, bill C F seven

00:39:30.320 gives us five bucks. Daniel Smith needs to have a talk with Pierre. Yeah. You know what?

00:39:33.720 I think they do. Uh, I think Pierre Polyev is, but for sure appealing to the mushy Toronto folks

00:39:41.720 who only care about the cost of living. Um, but they're going to care real hard about the cost of

00:39:47.020 living right away, especially when Ontario is just absolutely crushed by these tariffs and Trudeau

00:39:53.860 just continues to make it worse and worse and worse. Okay. Allow me to pay the bills, everybody. Uh,

00:40:00.940 we do that through, um, messages from our friends and sponsors. This one is from sticker pack. That's

00:40:07.560 PAC like political action committee. Are you ready to show your sport in style? Sticker mule has a

00:40:54.100 and then we'll come back into, uh, Trudeau, uh, calling Trump names. And that's, I think a really

00:41:04.700 terrible idea. Again, did you not see what happened to Zelensky, but we'll have that clip when we get

00:41:09.580 back. Canadians know the national anthem. They stand in silence to remember those who died for this

00:41:16.600 country, but not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms. The freedom passport will change

00:41:22.680 that. It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian charter of rights and

00:41:28.920 freedoms in a portable, easy to read format. The freedom passport, order one for yourself and for

00:41:36.360 all the freedom lovers that you love at freedom passport.ca I've got a better idea than tariffs.

00:41:48.280 What would an America first strategy for Canada U S trade look like? Is there room for a Trump style

00:41:54.680 mega deal even bigger than Greenland? A dozen years ago, I wrote a bestselling book called ethical oil,

00:42:01.560 the case for Canada's oil sands, which made the liberal argument that the oil sands are the fair

00:42:08.120 trade coffee of the world's oil industry. In my new book, deal of the century, I look at Canada

00:42:13.640 U S trade through an America first lens. And I come to the conclusion that far from putting tariffs on

00:42:19.400 Canadian oil, Donald Trump should ink a 50 year, $13 trillion deal to buy all 170 billion barrels of

00:42:28.600 Canada's oil sands, shutting out China and giving Canada the means to pay for a rebuilt military.

00:42:35.800 And as for yanking Trudeau's chain, well, he'll be gone as prime minister in a few weeks, but

00:42:41.560 I've got a better suggestion for how Trump can slap Trudeau around a bit without hurting America's

00:42:47.560 economic interests. That's in the book too. Get your copy now at deal of the century book.com.

00:42:55.240 And trust me, Trudeau doesn't want you to see this.

00:43:02.440 Okie doke. Uh, let's talk about Trudeau. Uh, again, from the very beginning of all of this,

00:43:09.880 I've said, we need to bring the heat down. We have to quit calling Trump names. Uh, he's had four

00:43:16.600 years, well, plus to ruminate on the people who have crossed him. And I think in no small part,

00:43:23.160 the liberals are on that list. Uh, Freeland, Trudeau for sure. Um, Melanie Joly, I bet she's in there too.

00:43:30.920 But today Trudeau walks out and says, Trump's dumb. Okay, great. Let's watch.

00:43:38.840 Now I want to speak directly to one specific American, Donald. In the over eight years,

00:43:50.440 you and I have worked together. We've done big things. We signed a historic deal that has created

00:43:59.800 record jobs and growth in both of our countries. We've done big things together on the world stage,

00:44:07.800 as Canada and the U.S. have done together for decades, for generations. And now we should be

00:44:16.440 working together to ensure even greater prosperity for North Americans in a very uncertain and challenging

00:44:25.400 world. Now, it's not in my habit to agree with the Wall Street Journal. But Donald,

00:44:34.120 they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do.

00:44:43.480 We two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see.

00:44:54.440 Good grief. What was he thinking?

00:44:57.480 Just when you think it can't get any worse, Justin shows up and runs his mouth like a moron

00:45:09.560 in front of the Canadian press. You think that Donald isn't going to, like, and P.S.,

00:45:17.080 that's meant as an insult. His title is President Trump. That's what Justin should be calling him in

00:45:23.000 public. But instead, you know, dumbs it down to Donald. You want to talk to one man? Donald.

00:45:29.880 I mean, you don't think that President Trump is going to see this and absolutely go ballistic?

00:45:36.680 He is. He is. Yeah, he is. This is not going to be received well.

00:45:41.240 No, no. He's going to get fired as governor. He's going to get fired as governor. They're

00:45:47.240 going to primary him. Again, like, who thought that was a good idea?

00:45:54.680 I'm almost speechless. First of all, the irony of somebody as idiotic as Trudeau calling anybody

00:46:05.960 dumb, but let alone Donald Trump, let alone Donald Trump. I mean, the band was a billionaire before he

00:46:13.880 came into office. He successfully navigated the culture to get elected once. Then he successfully

00:46:21.880 navigated the culture to get elected a second time. And, like, he's got keen political instincts.

00:46:34.280 Trudeau calling somebody dumb? Mister, I don't think about the economy. The budget will balance

00:46:42.520 itself. He's going to grow the economy from the heart outward, is what he also said. We need to

00:46:48.260 rethink concepts as complicated as space and time, he said one time. And I thought,

00:46:53.380 uh, uh, this has, uh, caused me to rethink how I spend my time listening to Justin Trudeau,

00:47:01.160 because I was getting stupider from it. The man is an absolute idiot. The stupidest man to ever

00:47:06.460 leave the country, for sure. No, oh, with the buyer, country mile, Sheila, buying country mile.

00:47:13.100 This is a man who was elected on his good looks and nice hair in 2015 by a bunch of women who were

00:47:20.840 suckered in to a toxic relationship with an abusive, gas-blighting piece of garbage.

00:47:27.520 And, and for him, for him to say that Donald Trump is dumb. Oh, oh, well, I mean, that's just par for the

00:47:37.180 course. That is par for the course for him being, and, and let's not forget, he's coming off of the

00:47:42.360 last one calendar week in glad-handing his way around Europe with Keir Starmer, with Emmanuel Macron,

00:47:50.220 with, uh, Vladimir Zelensky. And so he's coming off like, you know, large and in charge. This,

00:47:57.860 you know what this might, you know what this likely is? This is likely a repeat of what he just heard

00:48:05.540 in the last week. So if Trump is wondering how these other world leaders refer to him,

00:48:09.980 you just got a perfect front row seat. The way, the way that Justin Trudeau just described him

00:48:14.900 is how everybody else is talking about him. So it's, I mean, it's just wildly inappropriate. And,

00:48:20.720 and again, dropping all of the balls and is going to make Canada pay for it. But how,

00:48:26.140 how totally disrespectful, like what an arse, what an arse.

00:48:30.860 You know what? And this is more just Justin Trudeau projection, right? Uh, he's a feminist,

00:48:38.480 but he's, he's the guy groping women. He is an anti-racist, but he's the guy who did blackface

00:48:44.320 so many times that he can't recall how many times. Trump's dumb, but it's Justin Trudeau is a serious

00:48:54.240 quantum mechanics thinker and definitely not a himbo snowboard instructor debutante who found his

00:49:02.400 way to the highest office in the land. Thanks to his last name. Definitely as somebody else that's

00:49:07.360 stupid. No, no, he's not. He's not at all a nepple baby, Sheila, the most coddled. No, he's not. He's

00:49:14.180 not a nepple baby. Nope. We're not suggesting. Of course we are. Of course we are. This is a man

00:49:19.980 who observed for his entire life, his entire life, how these things work, how the, the Laurentian

00:49:27.520 elites operate and how best to swindle the people of Canada, especially Western Canada.

00:49:33.740 And man, has he done a good job? Has he done a good job at failing us as a country?

00:49:40.540 Uh, let's go into, uh, but, well, this is a Trudeau lie. Uh, Trudeau says Trump is work,

00:49:46.720 sorry, talking positively about working with Putin while taking aim at Canada, America's

00:49:52.840 closest ally, partner, and friend. Uh, let's watch this and then I'll tell you why he's

00:49:56.780 completely lying. So today the United States launched a trade war against Canada. Their

00:50:04.460 closest partner and ally, the closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working

00:50:11.220 positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator. Make that make

00:50:20.400 sense.

00:50:23.500 Canadians are reasonable and we are polite, but we will not back down from a fight. Not when

00:50:30.440 our country and the well-being of everyone in it is at stake. At the moment, the U.S. tariffs

00:50:40.100 came into effect in the early hours of this morning and so did the Canadian response. Canada

00:50:48.320 will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods, starting

00:50:57.480 with tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods immediately and tariffs on the remaining $125 billion of

00:51:05.620 American products in 21 days time. Our tariffs will remain in place until the U.S. tariffs are withdrawn

00:51:13.840 and not a moment sooner. And should these tariffs not cease, we are in active and ongoing discussions

00:51:22.420 with provinces and territories to pursue several non-tariff measures. Measures which will demonstrate

00:51:29.800 that there are no winners in a trade war.

00:51:38.020 We only have, yeah, seven days to have to listen to his smarmy, gross, slimy voice

00:51:45.020 talking to us like we are children and saying all the wrong, dumb things to antagonize the United States.

00:51:51.820 No, that's pretty much it. But like this idea that Trump is aligned with Putin is insane. What Trump

00:52:02.200 said was he actually, Trump said, I'm sort of aligned with the world in the interest of peace. So this is

00:52:07.960 directly from that meeting with Zelensky. And I remember him saying that, but this is the quote,

00:52:12.860 I'm not aligned with Putin. I'm not aligned with anybody. I'm aligned with the United States of

00:52:18.680 America and for the good of the world. I'm alive with the world. And I want to get this thing over

00:52:25.300 with, meaning the war. He's not aligned with Putin. And those, those talking points are so old and so

00:52:34.500 washed up and so debunked. Like we, we, we, we know that that was their go-to line in 2020 that,

00:52:41.260 oh, you're colluding with the Russians. Oh, this is Russian disinformation. I mean, those amongst,

00:52:47.080 I don't, I don't know anybody that hasn't been accused of being a Russian agent in his last couple

00:52:52.740 of years. I mean, it is such a lazy attack. It's, but I mean, right. It's a predictable attack.

00:52:58.340 It's an absolutely a predictable attack. He's falling back on the tactics that did work in 2020,

00:53:03.380 but we are all now smart enough to be able to call out and say, this is absolute baloney,

00:53:08.800 but you're right, Sheila. He did say, I'm on the side of America and I'm on the side of the world

00:53:15.680 and peace. And that is what we should all be striving towards. If your elected officials aren't

00:53:21.680 on the side of peace, well, then you have to wonder how they're benefiting from being in the business

00:53:29.520 of war. Wow. I know how they're benefiting. BlackRock sells the weapons and then they repair

00:53:35.920 the country after the war. They, they do both. It's, they've sort of closed the supply chain on

00:53:42.400 themselves there. It's kind of a neat little gimmick that they do. Um, and it's real interesting

00:53:47.320 for Justin Trudeau to talk about, you know, somebody being a Russian friendly when we know that the

00:53:52.780 Chinese keep trying to get the liberals elected. I mean, it's just wild. It is just wild. The,

00:53:58.800 like, yes, the disparity between, yes, the, between those two things. Exactly that Sheila,

00:54:04.840 we have a rumble rant. You want me to read it? Sure, please. Yeah. Well, this is from peace

00:54:10.740 go field 10. He says, uh, looks like Polly have is now talking about a stab in the back. That should

00:54:16.720 be interesting, uh, going down the road. Should he win? That's exactly, that's exactly what we said.

00:54:22.460 I mean, honest, honest to goodness. It doesn't position him for real success with the, uh,

00:54:27.920 American administration. It just doesn't. Yeah. We've got another one from you to Bursey gives us

00:54:33.640 five bucks. What did he have to do on the world stage with Donald Trump? How disrespectful of Justin

00:54:39.700 Trudeau to call the president by his first name? That, that, I mean, this was, this was Justin

00:54:47.020 Trudeau's little barb to get back at Donald Trump for calling him governor Trudeau for all of these

00:54:53.320 months. I mean, that must sting, that must sting a little nepotistic man with a, with a giant shiny

00:55:01.180 ego to be taken down a notch like that on the world stage. But, but when you're negotiating with

00:55:07.440 somebody who has infinitely more money and resources, uh, that's not the approach that we

00:55:13.200 and brains. Yes. And, and, uh, and love from the electorate. It's the wrong, it's the wrong approach

00:55:20.380 to take. Yeah. Uh, we've got another chat, uh, and then we'll do one more clip from Trudeau and then

00:55:25.460 we'll talk about this thing that the chat touches on because I have a very long memory because I'm an

00:55:32.460 old, old, old woman. And I just want to talk about how irresponsible Doug Ford is being right now.

00:55:39.080 So when Ford talks about shutting off Michigan's electricity, he should take note that line five

00:55:43.980 gas goes through there that supplies Ontario and Quebec. Yes, of course. Daniel Smith pointed this

00:55:49.480 out. Um, when they first floated this idiotic thought bubble that, Oh, we're going to stop energy

00:55:56.500 exports to the United States. And Daniel Smith says, uh, the heck you're blocking our oil and gas. And

00:56:03.180 then they said, Oh, we'll just stop electricity exports. And then, um, the reciprocal tariff would

00:56:08.800 be, well, then we'll stop line five, which comes from Alberta, but goes through Michigan and it supplies,

00:56:15.060 uh, Ontario and Quebec with oil and gas. So, uh, all that is to say, enjoy your $6 a liter fuel.

00:56:24.580 If indeed that ever happens. And I think Doug Ford's going to make sure it happens to you,

00:56:29.000 unfortunately. So fill your jerry cans is what I'm saying. Uh, Oh, we've got another one here.

00:56:35.820 LDZ gives us a buck. We're all going to lose here. Exactly. Including Trump and the U S time for

00:56:40.880 Alberta to go it alone. Neither U S nor Canada. Look, um, just quick correction, quick correction,

00:56:46.700 Alberta and Saskatchewan. Right. We are sisters. Okay. You know what? They tried to keep us apart at the

00:56:53.180 beginning. We were going to be our own province and some liberal in Ottawa was like, no, having

00:56:57.940 them united, we'll create too much of a land mass. And they didn't know we had resources yet, but they

00:57:03.140 were worried that we might have people and all the food. We have all the food. We have very little

00:57:07.060 people, which is fine. I kind of like that way, but we have all the natural resources.

00:57:11.880 It's the best. Not having all the people.

00:57:13.800 And Sheila, a fun fact, Sheila has the province of Alberta tattooed on her right hand ring finger.

00:57:19.240 And I have the province of Saskatchewan tattooed on my right hand ring finger. So we're sisters.

00:57:25.040 We're sisters. Alberta does nothing without Saskatchewan. LDZ. Okay. We are going together.

00:57:30.980 We used to be the problem. We were proposed as the province of Buffalo. And in a last minute

00:57:35.760 decision by bad people in Ottawa, they did their best to keep us apart. Even though you couldn't find

00:57:40.220 two places more similar on the face of the earth. There's no reason why there's an arbitrary line

00:57:44.580 through the middle of Lloyd Minster saying, that's a Saskatchewanian and that's an Albertan.

00:57:51.720 Agreed.

00:57:52.320 Again, keeping us apart. Let's watch this Trudeau clip about booing the American national anthem.

00:58:05.020 Instead of, well, you know what, let's watch it and then I'll give my remarks because what a jerk.

00:58:09.980 But Canadians, yeah, Canadians are hurt. Canadians are angry.

00:58:18.920 At you.

00:58:20.440 At you.

00:58:21.440 We're going to choose to not go on vacation in Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever.

00:58:29.420 Wherever?

00:58:30.000 We're going to choose to try to buy Canadian products and forego bourbon and other classic

00:58:37.620 American products. And yeah, we're probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But

00:58:44.320 let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're not booing your teams. We're not booing

00:58:49.260 your players.

00:58:50.780 Yeah, you are. Idiot.

00:58:53.580 We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.

00:58:57.320 Right. So that's why you don't boo the anthem. You boo the policy.

00:59:01.220 And we're angry.

00:59:03.760 But we're Canadian, which means we're going to stand up for each other. We're going to fight.

00:59:11.900 And we're going to win.

00:59:12.760 No, we're not. Stop it. We're not going to win.

00:59:19.300 We're not. We're not going to win. And I'm just going to call it right now, Sheila. I'm

00:59:22.880 going to hate to see it. And it's going to be disastrous. But it is. It is but a couple

00:59:27.580 days until we see American flags being burned on the streets of Canada. Because that is always

00:59:32.200 the trajectory. That's the trajectory. And he, like an idiot, just gave them permission

00:59:36.800 to keep booing the anthem at sports games. And do you know how intrinsically offensive that

00:59:42.500 is to Americans to have their national anthem, their beloved national anthem booed? I mean,

00:59:48.640 oh, my God, these people, these people.

00:59:53.900 Revolting. Revolting. He could have taken this moment to say, we are not going to boo your

00:59:59.540 national anthem anymore. He could have taken this time to be an actual leader and say, look,

01:00:06.700 if you want to boycott American products, I like how they always say, like, we're not going

01:00:12.000 to go to Florida, but they never say we're not going to go to California. I wonder what the

01:00:16.200 political reason for that is. We're not going to, we're going to boycott Florida orange juice,

01:00:22.680 but we're definitely not going to boycott citrus from California because the politics are

01:00:26.560 right, self-serving in California. But he could have been a leader here and said, look,

01:00:34.220 we are not going to, or I would like it if Canadians did not boo the American national anthem.

01:00:39.960 Um, plenty of Americans died alongside Canadians in wars and that, and they fought under that flag

01:00:49.100 for American interests. And it, we would never, we would never boo that. We should never, but instead

01:00:56.440 he's like, yeah, we're, you know what? Yeah, we're probably going to keep doing it. I can't believe

01:01:00.920 this guy's in charge of the country. You know what, Toronto, you've got a lot to apologize for,

01:01:05.840 for foisting this guy onto us when he said, you know what, we're probably, we're probably going

01:01:12.280 to keep doing the national anthem. Embarrassing, ridiculous, embarrassing, you know, and, and

01:01:18.680 think about this. When Trump talks about Canadians, he's like our beloved residents, our, our cherished

01:01:23.940 residents of our 51st state. He talks like he loves us. Um, and now talk, think about how Trudeau talks

01:01:31.480 about American. No, exactly that. Exactly that. And when Trump, when Trump talks about, um, about

01:01:39.460 Putin and when Trump talks about Zelensky, what I hear so much is a dad that is a hundred percent

01:01:46.620 inept at keeping the peace within a family because let's not forget, this is a guy with five kids,

01:01:50.840 right? And for all intents and purposes, all of those five kids, despite having three mothers,

01:01:55.240 all get along and have great relationships. This is a guy that knows how to create great

01:02:01.760 relationships. And then on the other side of the family, we have Justin Trudeau with how many

01:02:06.740 brothers and sisters, how many brothers, what's his name? Kyle, what's his name? Kyle Kemper over

01:02:11.600 there in the, that is a, that is a situation that needs some like deep rabbit holing by us,

01:02:19.040 Sheila Gunn-Reed, but Trudeau doesn't have a family situation that he could keep together in any

01:02:24.520 situation either. Um, and, and somebody who, who thrives on, who thrives on being a villain

01:02:31.720 and being wrong and fighting all the wrong fights. And you see that in the results of his, uh, in the

01:02:38.960 results of his initiatives and his policy decisions and his foreign policy, uh, announcements. I mean,

01:02:45.420 this, this is not a, this, again, this is not the kind of guy that we want negotiating on our behalf.

01:02:51.100 No, he's, he just says whatever idiotic thing comes into his mind. And then all of a sudden that

01:02:58.880 becomes policy. It's wild. Uh, let's, I'm just going to do a quick ad read from our friends at

01:03:06.420 positive because we've got to pay the bills and then we'll go into Doug Ford. Uh, we'll talk about

01:03:11.680 how he's going to, um, turn off the bourbon. Well, that's okay. Cause you won't be able to afford

01:03:16.680 it cause you won't have a job, but, but anyway, um, we'll, uh, I'm just going to pay the bills

01:03:22.280 with a quick ad read and then we'll get into Doug Ford, uh, fighting back in the most Doug Ford way

01:03:28.260 possible. Uh, if you have a dog, we've all been there. Our pup goes from full of energy to sick

01:03:32.940 and miserable in an instance. And at the worst of times, then we're calling on vets in the middle

01:03:36.140 of the night or on the weekends, trying to find a clinic that will take us in. It's a terrible

01:03:40.360 way to manage your dog's health, not to mention your stress levels and your monthly budget. That's

01:03:44.320 why people are getting the pet emergency kit by positive. It contains critical medications and

01:03:49.080 supplies that not only keep you out of the vet's office, but may save your dog's life. Their kit

01:03:53.740 contains critical medications like activated charcoal, styptic powder, and more. It might

01:03:57.960 save your dog's life. Head on over to positive. That's P A W S I T I V E.com and use the code

01:04:05.460 studio to get 15% off your pet emergency kit. Okay. Let's start with the bourbon.

01:04:10.360 From Doug Ford. Let's play this clip. Uh, apparently the LCBO, according to Doug Ford's

01:04:17.940 claims, although I don't necessarily think this is true. He says the liquor control board

01:04:22.200 of Ontario, where they pay people government wages to do minimum wage jobs as cashiers

01:04:29.200 in liquor stores, uh, and steal wages from new Canadians, because I think new Canadians intrinsically

01:04:35.000 in Alberta, they are the ones that are buying and running the liquor stores. Um, and so you're

01:04:40.380 stealing the entrepreneurial Canadian dream from new Canadians when you have government running your

01:04:45.180 liquor stores. But anyways, Doug Ford is weaponizing the LCBO to remove American products from its shelves.

01:04:52.440 To support the federal government's efforts, Ontario will also launch its first round of retaliation.

01:05:00.580 Starting today,

01:05:02.720 LCBO,

01:05:03.880 the largest purchaser of alcohol in the world,

01:05:06.940 will begin removing U.S.

01:05:08.660 products from its store shelves.

01:05:10.540 And as the exclusive wholesaler, American brands will no longer be available in LCBO catalog,

01:05:18.680 catalog, meaning other retailers, bars and restaurants in the province will no longer be able to restock

01:05:25.400 U.S. products.

01:05:26.660 This is an enormous hit to the American producers. Every year, the LCBO sells nearly $1 billion worth of U.S. wine, beer, cider, seltzers and spirits,

01:05:41.440 including more than 3,600 products from 35 states. As of today, every single one of these products is off the shelves.

01:05:51.880 Well, you know, I guess if that's the only, if that's the only play you got, that's what you gotta, that's what you gotta do, Doug.

01:06:01.380 Like, if that's the biggest hit, get ready for parties in Ontario to suck.

01:06:05.720 Starting now.

01:06:07.820 And don't tell me, don't tell me that bootlegging across the borders is not going to become a really, really popular thing in Ontario.

01:06:15.700 Because it shouldn't be up to Canadian consumers if they can pay the 25% tariff.

01:06:22.860 On top of, on top of the regular prices to buy a premium American brand, they should be able to do this.

01:06:29.920 I mean, this is such a, this is such a sort of Bush League, Bush League move by, by Doug Ford.

01:06:37.940 But do we, do we expect anything other from Doug Ford?

01:06:42.920 Yeah, I guess we're going back to the days of rum running and whiskey traders.

01:06:46.800 Like, this is just so weird.

01:06:49.340 But I guess this, if this is all you got, this is all you got.

01:06:52.140 But imagine saying, okay, you're about to be hit with tariffs that are going to make you think about heating or eating.

01:06:59.640 A million Canadians are going to lose their jobs.

01:07:03.660 And here's the best I can do.

01:07:07.200 No Kentucky bourbon.

01:07:08.600 Oh, it's the best you could do.

01:07:13.940 And you know, you know what was so interesting about being in Ontario this December, Sheila, because me and Sheila were in Ontario together this, this last December, is the unavailability of booze.

01:07:24.300 Like, they're, I mean, on the prairies, on the prairies, it's everywhere, it's legal in many jurisdictions to be able to drink in public, you know, in, in outside and do stuff.

01:07:39.460 This is not in Ontario.

01:07:41.340 I mean, it is locked down.

01:07:43.060 We had to walk more than one kilometer to get to some crazy little beer, crazy little beer garden that was all, you know, like it was just guarded.

01:07:52.620 And it was like, oh, there's the liquor here.

01:07:55.460 Ontario's not a fun place.

01:07:57.020 Ontario's not a fun or serious place.

01:07:59.400 But I guess, again, going back to what Doug did, when that's the only card you have to play, that's what you're going to play.

01:08:03.740 So go fresh.

01:08:05.240 Every time I'm in Ontario, I'm just bemused at the LCBO.

01:08:10.520 They have these like Taj Mahal stores, unnecessarily large.

01:08:15.120 But I guess if you got all the money in the world, as in everybody else's money, taxpayers' money to build these things, and then people there are making government wages, then they go on strike and you can't get your liquor.

01:08:28.680 And I'm like, in Alberta, new Canadians open up a beer store and it's open till 2 a.m.

01:08:34.860 It's open on the weekends.

01:08:36.720 The booze is affordable.

01:08:37.760 You got a great selection.

01:08:38.620 And I just, I don't know how it happens like that in Ontario.

01:08:42.540 I mean, they seem to be a pretty metropolitan place, except for their prohibition era style of liquor control.

01:08:50.380 But again, I guess it serves Doug Ford's purpose now when he pulls all the bourbon off the shelf.

01:08:56.000 But again, this stuff was already bought and paid for, by the way, by Ontario taxpayers, right?

01:09:02.200 Right.

01:09:02.440 This is just going to go in a warehouse.

01:09:03.820 This is just going to get stockpiled in a warehouse and be available for the elites.

01:09:09.560 This is what's going to happen.

01:09:11.520 Like, this is the punishment that's being brought down against you.

01:09:14.220 But I guess, you know, I guess there is a silver lining there in that if it compels people to drink a little less and make better decisions, then that's not necessarily a bad thing either.

01:09:25.160 But punishing, punishing your own residents in Ontario with this, well, that's not a good look.

01:09:34.860 They should have consumer choice too.

01:09:36.560 And if they want to buy and support American brands, that's within their purview.

01:09:40.100 But I think that'll be an unpopular choice.

01:09:43.020 This is, I would say, this is right up there with David Eby from BC targeting just red states.

01:09:50.660 Just red states.

01:09:51.760 So he's going to go after, he's going to counter, counter all of the products, the services and products coming out of only red states.

01:10:02.320 Right.

01:10:02.980 Oh my God.

01:10:03.980 That's helpful too, right?

01:10:05.540 Like, that's real helpful with Trump.

01:10:07.940 Just one adult at the table.

01:10:09.920 That's it.

01:10:10.160 We'd be happy with one.

01:10:11.820 Just one adult at the table.

01:10:13.640 We have Danielle.

01:10:14.120 We do.

01:10:14.780 But that's about it.

01:10:15.300 That's about it.

01:10:15.700 Yeah, we do.

01:10:16.360 No, Doug Ford.

01:10:19.460 He also says that he's already informed American politicians that if Trump's tariffs persist, Ontario will apply a 25% surcharge on electricity exports.

01:10:34.740 We will not hesitate to shut off their power as well, the premier adds.

01:10:38.040 I think he said something about he would do it gladly, which is supervillain level stuff.

01:10:43.880 Anyway, let's watch.

01:10:44.780 I'm writing to every senator, every congressman and woman, and the governors from New York State, Michigan, and Minnesota, telling them that these tariffs persist.

01:10:56.960 If the Trump administration falls through on any more tariffs, we will immediately apply a 25% surcharge on the electricity we export.

01:11:08.260 We will not hesitate to shut off their power as well.

01:11:12.380 I'm encouraging my fellow premiers to follow suit.

01:11:19.780 Attention, other premiers.

01:11:21.980 Don't listen to Doug Ford.

01:11:23.880 Don't follow his lead.

01:11:25.940 Don't do what he's doing.

01:11:27.040 Don't say what he's saying.

01:11:28.620 Let this man stand alone in his little piss and match with the biggest swing and you know what in America right now.

01:11:36.480 Let Doug Ford learn this lesson the hard way and let him learn it himself.

01:11:41.840 Yeah.

01:11:42.760 Yeah.

01:11:44.300 I'm an old lady, as I said before.

01:11:46.360 But let me just talk about how Doug Ford is failing as a conservative this time.

01:11:50.400 Not all the other times.

01:11:51.200 Just this on this one issue.

01:11:52.480 Because there are plenty of times where he fails as a conservative.

01:11:54.940 But conservatives, no.

01:11:56.440 The cheap, reliable electricity is essential to the sustenance of human life.

01:12:00.160 We know that, right?

01:12:01.400 Like the other side is pro-expensive electricity, which makes people – it forces them into a situation where they have to choose heat or eat.

01:12:12.140 Now, cutting off – there's one thing to slap a tariff, which will hurt only poor people.

01:12:19.180 Because people who are wealthy can survive expensive electricity.

01:12:25.440 But poor people – this is who Doug Ford is targeting right now.

01:12:29.000 Poor Americans are going to be really forced with heating or eating.

01:12:35.840 It's still cold in the Northeast.

01:12:40.420 And this could, if he cuts off electricity exports altogether, cause rolling blackouts and brownouts in the United States.

01:12:48.100 And the reason I pointed out my long-in-the-tooth status is because I remember in 2003 when I think three trees and a computer virus and quite possibly a squirrel – and I'm not even joking there – caused a major blackout in the Northeast.

01:13:07.960 And nearly 100 people died.

01:13:11.100 People were trapped in the subways.

01:13:13.800 Now, this happened in the summer when it was really hot and people couldn't get home.

01:13:20.100 Like, imagine.

01:13:22.080 Traffic's already bad in New York.

01:13:24.160 Now, imagine that the traffic lights aren't working and the subways aren't working.

01:13:29.200 And 100 people –

01:13:30.480 Oh, the elevators.

01:13:31.760 Yeah, they were trapped in the elevators.

01:13:32.920 Yeah, the elevators weren't working.

01:13:34.340 Like, it was –

01:13:35.520 Hospitals.

01:13:35.840 It brought New York to its knees.

01:13:40.000 It brought New York to its knees.

01:13:41.920 Nothing happened.

01:13:43.460 There was emergency after calamity, after tragedy.

01:13:46.900 It was like the apocalypse.

01:13:49.040 It was something to behold.

01:13:50.580 And it really showed the dependence that those super high-density populated urban areas have on energy dependence.

01:14:01.200 And what Doug Ford is doing here is signaling not only – like, maybe not even an act of hostility, but could be considered an act of war by the United States.

01:14:14.020 When you have critical infrastructure, critical infrastructure that you're threatening to turn the taps off, ooh, I mean, this just doesn't – I mean, it just doesn't play well.

01:14:27.600 It just doesn't play well.

01:14:28.720 I don't think this is going to work out in Doug Ford's favour or in Ontario's favour.

01:14:33.760 And I just wish – I just wish that their cooler heads would prevail.

01:14:38.360 I don't think we're going to get that, though, with the premier in Ontario.

01:14:41.300 Yeah, I mean, some of the blackout during that time was, like, anywhere from two to six hours.

01:14:47.260 The longest places were 29 hours.

01:14:49.680 But it was like the end of the world.

01:14:53.020 It really was.

01:14:53.680 It was – what's that – anyways.

01:14:57.760 Apocalypse.

01:14:58.680 Apocalyptic.

01:15:00.080 It was like the last of us.

01:15:02.120 Like, it was – it was crazy.

01:15:04.580 And it happened nearly instantly.

01:15:07.140 And so, for people who are a little bit older like me, this is only 20 years ago, what Doug Ford is threatening could jeopardize people's lives.

01:15:18.300 And even if – even if the American – even if it never happens, and even if he doesn't and it works out to Ontario's favour,

01:15:26.820 this is what I know about Doug Ford now, is that he will play with people's lives to win for political purposes.

01:15:34.900 And that leaves me with a very sour, sour taste about the kind of man that Doug Ford is.

01:15:40.060 That's what I think.

01:15:41.700 Yeah.

01:15:42.420 Agreed.

01:15:43.280 I have nothing more to add.

01:15:44.720 Agreed.

01:15:45.640 Seconded.

01:15:46.360 Carried.

01:15:46.720 Thank you.

01:15:47.900 Thank you.

01:15:48.180 Olivia tells me that we need to wrap up at 12.20 or shortly after because they need the studio.

01:15:54.640 So, let's go into this clip from Pierre Polyev, the Conservative leader now reacting to the American tariffs.

01:16:06.400 Let's see if he disappoints.

01:16:07.740 At 12.01 a.m., President Trump stabbed America's best friend in the back.

01:16:16.180 My message to the President is this.

01:16:18.840 Canada will fight back.

01:16:21.460 We will defend our people and our economy.

01:16:24.200 And we will put Canada first.

01:16:27.520 There is no doubt that our economy will suffer.

01:16:30.940 But so will yours, President Trump.

01:16:32.620 In fact, you're already paying the price.

01:16:35.740 With trillions of dollars erased in stock market value over the last month of these threats,

01:16:40.480 already Americans are paying higher gas prices.

01:16:43.680 As at midnight, a new American gas tax kicked in on U.S. working class taxpayers and motorists.

01:16:53.240 Your workers will soon start losing jobs.

01:16:56.240 Jobs they had upgrading Canadian raw materials, which, by the way, you were getting at an incredible and ridiculous bargain.

01:17:04.540 And your businesses will be selling fewer products to your closest neighbour.

01:17:09.380 And that's only the beginning.

01:17:10.980 While Canadians are slow to anger and quick to forgive, once provoked, we fight back.

01:17:16.180 And we will fight back.

01:17:18.860 Okay, I could have done without the first statement.

01:17:21.360 Like, the other half is relevant.

01:17:22.920 The middle part was so good.

01:17:26.800 But the fighting back and the overt aggression and antagonistic tone, we could all live without.

01:17:33.540 You could have put another intro and extra on that and had it been absolutely perfect.

01:17:39.820 Yes, agreed.

01:17:41.300 But again, I do believe that he is speaking to those liberal elites in middle Canada who really want this.

01:17:50.520 Who really want to be, to create an issue with the United States of America and who won't suffer as much as Western Canadians.

01:18:00.440 Like, once again, reiterate, the liberals have failed on this file.

01:18:07.080 They have taken an antagonistic and dismissive approach, an insulting approach to the incoming and now firmly ingrained American administration.

01:18:17.740 There was another way forward.

01:18:20.120 There was always another way forward.

01:18:22.460 The relationship requires a reset.

01:18:26.040 That's why we must demand an election.

01:18:29.700 Like, that's what could have been said there.

01:18:33.360 Instead, we'll punch back twice as hard.

01:18:36.340 No, we don't have the economy to punch back twice as hard.

01:18:39.680 Let's be realistic.

01:18:41.660 We know who's to blame here.

01:18:42.800 It's the liberals.

01:18:44.900 Yes.

01:18:45.340 Go after them and then signal to the Americans, we can work together.

01:18:52.800 We're going to fix this.

01:18:54.300 For your sake and for our sake, we need a reset of the relationship and that requires everybody going back to work.

01:18:59.860 How much differently would that have came off had he said, President Trump, I need your help in ejecting these abject losers who have failed our country, who have made our people poor, who have sent them into homelessness and utter desperation.

01:19:17.400 President Trump, I need your help to solve this problem.

01:19:20.560 Help me get rid of this government and I will be, you know, the best guy to negotiate for you.

01:19:24.940 How, or with you, excuse me, how much better would that have played?

01:19:29.360 Well, it wouldn't have played well.

01:19:31.360 It wouldn't have played well in eastern Canada.

01:19:33.820 Yeah, they would have been screaming foreign interference.

01:19:35.820 So, I mean, you have to coach your language.

01:19:37.920 You'd have to say, like, President Trump, the liberals have failed on this file.

01:19:43.040 Yes.

01:19:43.400 We will.

01:19:44.260 We will work together with our Americans to make our nations, our respective nations, safer and more productive.

01:19:53.100 And closer.

01:19:53.840 Yeah, we'll work to bring us closer.

01:19:56.900 Yes.

01:19:57.440 Yeah.

01:19:57.620 That would have been the language that everybody could have got on board for.

01:20:00.800 But no, fight back.

01:20:02.780 You've got to fight.

01:20:03.480 Fight.

01:20:03.720 Fight.

01:20:04.260 When we're pushed, we'll push back harder.

01:20:06.300 No, just tone deaf.

01:20:07.440 We don't.

01:20:07.700 We don't have the sizes.

01:20:08.860 We have to quit lying to ourselves.

01:20:11.080 I am pro-Canada too.

01:20:13.040 But we have to quit lying to ourselves in saying we're going to fight back harder.

01:20:17.280 We do not have the economy to fight back harder.

01:20:19.480 We have to figure out something else.

01:20:21.300 And this antagonistic baloney is just going to crush our economy.

01:20:25.320 And as we, as was said, a million Canadian jobs.

01:20:31.100 You people should be acting like a million Canadian jobs are going to be vaporized.

01:20:36.600 Instead, you're acting like it's like a pushing match behind the garbage can at the elementary school.

01:20:43.220 Enough.

01:20:43.740 Yep.

01:20:44.040 Already.

01:20:44.820 True, true story.

01:20:46.160 Oh, we have another, we have another Rumba Ramp.

01:20:48.780 Want me to read it?

01:20:50.160 Sure, sure, sure, sure.

01:20:51.060 One last one for the day.

01:20:52.200 So from Bill CF, $75 on a Rumba Ramp.

01:20:56.160 He says, who do we vote for now?

01:20:58.300 I don't tell you who to vote for.

01:21:00.380 That's a great question, Bill.

01:21:01.920 You should, you should answer that next time on the Rebel Roundup.

01:21:07.460 Yes.

01:21:07.960 Bill, I'll never tell you who to vote for.

01:21:09.880 I just, I call them as I see them.

01:21:12.500 I will champion a conservative when they've got great ideas and I'll criticize them like I am today when they are going astray.

01:21:21.160 And I think that's important for us to do because all the forces of the universe are pulling these conservatives to the left.

01:21:28.180 The CBC, the culture, the NGOs, the activists, even the electorate, the big cities, they're pulling them to the left.

01:21:36.800 It's my job to keep them honest from the right.

01:21:39.280 So that's what I will do.

01:21:41.880 I won't tell you who to vote for.

01:21:43.300 I won't endorse anybody.

01:21:44.680 I don't want to.

01:21:45.940 The only politician I ever endorsed was Lise when she was running for school board.

01:21:50.800 That's it.

01:21:53.040 You'll just get my honest opinion on politics as I see it.

01:21:58.280 That's it.

01:21:58.760 That's all I can give you.

01:21:59.400 Us too.

01:22:00.140 Us too.

01:22:01.440 Okay.

01:22:01.920 I think that's the show for today.

01:22:03.340 Lise, you want to do the thank yous?

01:22:04.660 Hey, everybody.

01:22:06.900 Thanks so much for joining us today on the Rebel Roundup.

01:22:10.880 It was a fabulous conversation, Sheila, as per usual.

01:22:13.980 And we will see you again tomorrow, same place, same time.

01:22:17.500 Thanks so much for being here, guys.

01:22:19.040 As we know, the Liberal Party is going to be picking a new leader over the weekend, but

01:22:23.760 when is it going to be your last official day as Prime Minister?

01:22:27.920 That will be up to a conversation between the new leader and myself to figure out how

01:22:35.040 long a transition is needed.

01:22:37.800 It should happen reasonably quickly, but there's a lot of things to do in a transition like this.
