Sheila Gunn-Reed is joined by her best friend Lisa Merle to discuss the carbon tax and its impact on Saskatchewan and Alberta. They also discuss the censorship of conservative voices on YouTube and why it's time to uninvite them.
00:15:30.520The lesser premiers. Yours has come around to my way of thinking. Um, we've got Prime Minister Trudeau
00:15:36.100reacting to Trump's tariffs on aluminum and steel. And this is in direct response, I think,
00:15:41.320to Doug Ford running his, uh, groundhog looking face all the time about Trump.
00:15:48.100Can you reciprocate dollar for dollar with tariffs on aluminum and steel?
00:15:52.280As usual, we hope that it will not come to that. Uh, we, uh, will work with the American
00:15:57.360administration and highlight, uh, that, uh, imports of Canadian steel and aluminum create
00:16:02.800thousands, if not millions of jobs and support families across the United States. We have been
00:16:08.720doing things together in an extraordinarily integrated way for many, many years. And we
00:16:14.160will, uh, look to continue to work with our closest ally and partner. We should be, uh, doing more
00:16:19.920together, not fighting with each other, but Canadians will stand up strongly and firmly if we need to.
00:16:27.020He hopes it won't come to that, Sheila. Yes, he does. Yes, he does.
00:16:31.720Nobody wants a trade war with America quite as much as Justin Trudeau. And that's just the,
00:16:37.840the, the short and long of it. Uh, yeah, because he cannot campaign or the liberals,
00:16:45.260I'm sorry, cannot campaign on their record. So they need to campaign as the leaders of the
00:16:49.660anti-Trump cabal. You literally cannot campaign against Polyev because Polyev's like, yeah,
00:16:54.640we're going to build military bases in the North. Uh, we're going to roll back the carbon tax.
00:16:59.280We're going to cut immigration. Um, we're going to cut DEI spending. He announced yesterday
00:17:05.700from global affairs. So he's, you can't campaign against that. All you can do is say, well,
00:17:12.480we are the leaders of team Canada against Trump. So, you know, that's continue on with the tampons.
00:17:20.120Yeah. That's all. That's all they got is orange man, bad orange man, dangerous, rah, rah,
00:17:26.700we tough team Canada. And it's just such a, it's just such a false, it's just such a false claim.
00:17:32.820As with everything Trudeau says, you must listen to what he says and then think to yourself, right?
00:17:38.880What is the exact opposite of that? Because that is what he means. This is the king of double speak
00:17:45.100and the king of saying exactly the opposite of what he actually says or meaning the exact opposite of
00:17:50.980what he actually says. No, he doesn't want to solve this. He doesn't want, he doesn't want this to go
00:17:55.540away. He wants to antagonize Trump. And I think they are, uh, and take themselves a hole. And you
00:18:02.040know what? Let them at this point, let them. Yeah. The Trump was elected to turn the rust belt back into
00:18:09.440the steel belt. Like that's what he was elected to do. So how do you encourage investment back there?
00:18:16.140Well, you tariff all incoming steel and he did it to, I guess, all countries, not just Canada, but,
00:18:23.160um, we know from Daniel Smith's, uh, exquisite diplomacy that if you try to make the case,
00:18:30.780you can escape the worst of it. Uh, but Trudeau never did. So are they taking,
00:18:36.760are they taking any cues from Daniel Smith? No, because then that would, that would make it look
00:18:41.840like she knew what she was doing and they didn't. No, they're going to continue on this pathway of
00:18:47.160destruction. They're going to sink Canadian industry. They're going to hurt Canadian workers,
00:18:51.880uh, when all we needed was a, was a little, I mean, a little loyalty and a little diplomacy and a little
00:18:58.560hustle, exactly what Daniel Smith showed. And, and we could have really got, we could have really got
00:19:03.960this licked right at the beginning and they didn't, they didn't because, because when it comes
00:19:07.980right down to it, they don't care about us. They don't care about Canadian workers. They don't care
00:19:12.580about Canadian jobs and they don't care about the success of Canadians. Yeah. Eight or nine days
00:19:20.340from our 11th hour reprieve, um, on tariffs. And we still don't have the fentanyl czar, which was the
00:19:32.900linchpin in all of this. I heard, I read, I should say, I read that they're considering Brenda Luckey,
00:19:40.980the former commissioner of the RCMP. God help us. Like for real, Sheila, this is the lady who
00:19:47.420oversaw the explosion of fentanyl in the country. The lady that saw the destruction of the RCMP is a
00:19:55.000beloved institution. That woman, the woman that was in charge during the Portapique massacre,
00:20:00.320the woman that was in charge during, during the James Smith Cree Nation massacre, that woman,
00:20:06.880the one that ushered in all of the DEI, all of the tampons and all of the pride flags flying at the
00:20:13.220RCMP. This is the woman that we're going to, I mean, if that happens, we may as well just,
00:20:19.520we may as well just start walking to the border ourselves, Sheila, because I mean, that will just,
00:20:25.360that's a, that's a disaster waiting to happen. This is such an inept woman.
00:20:30.040Now, uh, the liberals and the NDP, they have no desire to bring the heat down anywhere. Uh,
00:20:40.340this tweet from the big boss, Ezra Levant, uh, notes that the Ontario liberal party led by Bonnie
00:20:47.080Crombie, and they're in the throes of an election campaign there. She announced an F Trump fund.
00:20:52.900Uh, so Bonnie Crombie, uh, this lady wasn't, didn't she used to be the mayor of Mississauga?
00:21:00.220She oversaw the worst of Mississauga, if I recall correctly. Um, uh, what is this? I love Ontario.
00:21:08.620This is like, is this a Valentine's day ad or a political campaign? But anyway, let's hear from
00:21:15.320Bonnie Crombie. We've also created what we call the fight tariff fund, the FTF or, you know, F Trump fund
00:21:23.800to however you want to take it. We would ensure that businesses had access to capital, uh, which
00:21:29.560would stimulate more investment in, in our province. We've also. So this is a, this, have you heard
00:21:37.700about Bonnie Crombie's upcoming book? It's called how to lose friends and alienate trade partners.
00:21:42.640Right. I mean, that's going to do anybody any favors, Bonnie. What an idiot. What an absolute
00:21:49.300abject idiot. Yeah. I mean, she wants to be the next premier of Ontario. Now Doug Ford's no scream
00:21:57.600in hell either. I'll tell you that much, but so far he has not announced the F Trump fund, um, and
00:22:04.180thought it was clever, but is that the woman you want in charge of the entire Ontario economy, which is
00:22:10.700so dependent on trade with the United States and the auto sector and the steel sector, even
00:22:17.080electricity. Um, you want that woman in charge when she's like, yeah, I'm going to be the F Trump
00:22:22.560premier. Great. What could possibly go wrong? Best of luck with that Ontario, but Ontario is, is,
00:22:30.220is want to do some crazy things every now and again. And so if you end up with that, well,
00:22:35.040Oh God help you. God help you. Uh, we've got a Scott Mo actually. Um, he is headed, uh, he might
00:22:45.220actually be in Washington right now. He was headed to make the case for, uh, Saskatchewan, not leaving
00:22:52.100it up to the liberals to do the diplomacy of while basically doing in the potash sector, I think is
00:22:59.880what would happen if this were up to the liberals, because you can get your potash from Saskatchewan
00:23:04.800or you can get it from Russia and some of the other horrible places of the world. Um, which I mean,
00:23:09.880if you tariff, uh, inbound potash from Saskatchewan, then, uh, the cost of food goes up in middle America.
00:23:17.740Uh, the liberal elites on the coast, they'll still be having their avocado and toast, um, and they're
00:23:23.460organic, whatever, whatever. But if you want to feed the people in middle America, you need
00:23:29.520affordable inputs in agriculture. And that's what Saskatchewan brings to the table. And Scott Mo,
00:23:35.400um, he's making the case, I think currently in Washington, if I recall, he's either on his way
00:23:41.360or there. Um, but he's talking about who's exactly responsible for the trade problems right now.
00:23:48.460But the largest interprovincial trade barrier that we have in this nation is our inability to
00:23:53.340to build a pipe and to have a, you know, a highly functioning, uh, rail system and port system so
00:23:59.740that each Canadian industry has reliable, uh, access day in, day out, uh, to our ports and to
00:24:05.180Canadian customers. And so, uh, you know, the, the fact that we've had policy decisions that have
00:24:10.700inhibited our ability to provide, in our case, our interest is Western Canadian energy to, to other
00:24:16.720Canadians, uh, is a failure, uh, by, uh, a failure in leadership of, uh, the liberal government.
00:24:22.340Now we see them, you know, changing their position, leadership candidates, and even the
00:24:26.080Minister of Energy changing their position on, uh, national, uh, infrastructure, like, uh, pipeline
00:24:31.080infrastructure, energy east infrastructure, but they've been the problem and they've been the
00:24:35.700holdup for far too many years in, uh, the largest interprovincial trade barrier that Canada
00:24:40.740has, our ability to get energy back and forth. So I, first of all, Premier, I'm not sure that that
00:24:45.020answers my question about 30 days. I, I, I see your passion on the issue, but in terms of the
00:24:48.780timeline, realistic or no? It is realistic to remove a large number of, uh, of, uh, exemptions
00:24:56.160that are in the Canadian free trade agreement. Again, uh, that's much on, uh, Minister and
00:25:00.300and is a large number of them are the federal governments, but there's other provinces that
00:25:04.140are, need to be equally committed. If we're going to go down to one or two or three, uh,
00:25:08.020from Saskatchewan's perspective, our expectation is that provinces that have 20 or 30 have a long
00:25:12.680ways to come. Is, is there a particular province that you're pointing to there, sir? I know,
00:25:17.260I know Quebec has added restrictions because of the, the, um, emphasis on the front French
00:25:21.380language. Yes, there's a number, there's a number of provinces. Quebec, we've only got a moment left.
00:25:26.800You keep talking about pipelines. So I think I'd be remiss not to ask you, there is this renewed
00:25:30.620enthusiasm for a West to East pipeline, but there are no, as far as I'm aware of commercial proponents.
00:25:35.700You mentioned Energy East. Uh, it's clear that project is dead, that particular project. It would
00:25:40.880have to start from scratch at this point. How likely really looking at the commercial environment
00:25:46.160right now, is it that we would see a West to East pipeline in Canada?
00:25:50.160It's dead because the liberal government killed it. Um, well, there's also no industrial partner
00:25:56.340to take it on right now, right at this moment, if we're talking about the future.
00:26:00.700There was until the liberal government killed it with the introduction of Bill C-69. Uh, and people
00:26:05.540should remember, uh, why we are vulnerable in this nation when it comes to being energy secure,
00:26:11.040why we have really an inability to participate in the energy dominance conversation that the
00:26:15.980U.S. uh, wants to, uh, participate in and wants to get to is because of the policy decisions
00:26:21.680that we've made over the course of the last nine years. And we need to remember that as
00:26:25.420we face, uh, quite likely a general election this year, we need to do better as Canadians and
00:26:29.800ensuring, uh, we are preserving our ability to be energy secure, food secure, and, and, and
00:26:35.620ensure that our trading partners, uh, value us as a nation and being part of that partner.
00:26:41.580I'm so happy he brought up energy security and food security together because, um, in Saskatchewan,
00:26:48.960the vast majority of our energy products, oil and gas products travel by rail. Um, and when we have,
00:26:56.400as you know, railroad tracks, you can only have one, one train on a track at the, at the same time.
00:27:02.940And because our tracks are so overloaded with oil and gas product, trying to make it to market,
00:27:07.820what it does is it displaces our ag products. So farmers trying to get their product to, to port
00:27:15.560and to, to their, uh, to their markets is made extraordinarily more complicated by oil and gas.
00:27:23.840And if we put the oil and gas in a pipeline, okay, if we put it in a pipeline, it would free up so much
00:27:30.020more space on our, on our rail system to be able to, um, accommodate our, our ag products. And,
00:27:37.260and the most egregious thing is about this is oil and gas is prioritized on our rail system. It's
00:27:44.760prioritized. They pay, I think they pay a premium to be able to use the rail system while our ag products
00:27:50.680and while our food rots in the bin. Um, oil is, I mean, it, it, it, uh, it belongs in a pipe and
00:28:00.600that's the end of the story. Yeah. Every time I see a long tanker train, I think, man, someone should
00:28:08.480just weld those things together and just bury it in the ground. Wouldn't that be fun?
00:28:13.060Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Like that. And I think that if there were, if there were an economic
00:28:18.540environment in Canada that would make it palatable to investors, we'd be able to attract those
00:28:24.960investors back for Energy East. I'm glad you mentioned that because Scott Moe seemed to be
00:28:30.340having trouble, difficulty explaining it to the state broadcasters, well-kept talking head there,
00:28:36.300uh, market forces. Talking, talking, talking mall. You mean talking mall? Did you see it? Did you,
00:28:43.800I saw it. Oh yeah, I did. Yeah. You can't help but see it. Um, but yeah, you know, like you could,
00:28:50.760uh, the latest polling data from Angus Reed says that now like two thirds of Canadians are like,
00:28:55.700yeah, we need an East West pipeline. Okay. Thank you. Where were you when Justin Schultz was not just
00:29:00.800letting, uh, uh, the Trans-Canada Pipeline Energy East die on the vine. He literally took a pillow
00:29:08.340and stuck it over its head with the, um, introduction of anti-pipeline legislation,
00:29:14.540shoehorning all sorts of DEI nonsense into pipeline approvals so that it would become almost impossible,
00:29:22.600uh, to get any sort of large scale energy project done. Um, I have a story I think coming out about
00:29:29.580this today and like the series of pipelines that died because of it and how even now the places that
00:29:36.100were the most opposed to it, uh, Energy East, Quebec that now largely, uh, in favor, um, even in
00:29:44.380British Columbia where Northern gateway could have went from beautiful downtown Bruderheim, Alberta,
00:29:49.460just up the road to ports in the North of British Columbia that, uh, now, uh, people are by and large
00:29:58.240in favor of that project. Here's the problem though. When you have the Liberals and their anti-pipeline
00:30:04.580legislation, plus their inflation, plus their carbon tax, plus, um, now a threatened carbon tax on upstream
00:30:12.580emitters, thanks to Mark Carney, what you have is a climate that does not encourage investment to Canada
00:30:21.260despite the fact that we have the world's third largest proven oil and gas reserves. We are in a situation
00:30:26.760like Venezuela where they have the world's largest proven energy reserves, but nobody wanting to do
00:30:31.960business there because of their socialist government and the possibility of expropriation at any point.
00:30:38.220And so it got so bad in Canada, sorry, I'm ranting, but TransCanada, which was the company that proposed
00:30:46.240energy East energy East changed its name to TC energy because of the stigma of being a Canadian
00:30:54.900energy company. And that's how bad Justin show has made it in Canada with our vast energy and mineral
00:31:03.020resources to do business here. So while CBC seems confused, like, well, people want an East West pipeline.
00:31:09.440Why aren't there any commercial investors? Because, okay, because, because of Justin Trudeau,
00:31:16.800because of what happened with Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline, which is no longer Kinder
00:31:21.860Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline, but your Trans Mountain pipeline, because it started off as a $5
00:31:27.060billion private sector investment, but the Liberals would not enforce the law, kowtow to environmentalists,
00:31:32.500and now it's a $35 billion taxpayer funded boondoggle that you're on the hook for. Just let companies do
00:31:42.320business and Canadians will be wealthy. Okay, I'm done. I love that rant. Like, please, 10 stars for
00:31:50.160that rant by Sheila Gunn-Reed. No, but you really did hit the nail on the head. Justin Trudeau has created
00:31:56.100such a hostile environment for resource development and, and, and pipelines in Canada, that it's, that
00:32:03.420it's just impossible. It's staggering that the CBC doesn't know this. It's staggering that they don't
00:32:08.640know this. They don't know about private sector anything. They're just like, oh, uh, we need more
00:32:12.760money. Uh, Justin, just put it in our hands and we'll find creative ways to waste it. Thank you. Like
00:32:19.200they don't understand, uh, the reality of trying to do business in Justin Trudeau's Canada, because
00:32:25.180for them doing business just means asking their sugar daddy for a little bit more money while
00:32:30.600they continue to make content that nobody wants to watch. That's right. That's exactly right. They
00:32:35.840can't be defunded soon enough. It's going to be the best day of my life. I'm calling it right now.
00:32:40.440Better than my birthday and Christmas and Valentine's all rolled up together. The day the
00:32:44.020CBC is defunded is going to be the best day of my life. I am going to buy Rosie Barton's wardrobe
00:32:50.920when they parted out like an old Dodge minivan. And I just want to wear it on air and just swim
00:32:56.640in her clothes. Don't like when the CBC gets sold off like a farm auction, Sheila. Oh God. And you
00:33:04.520know, I love them. Oh, we're going to, we're going to be there with a paddle. We're going to, that,
00:33:08.900that will be my first auction. I've actually never been to an auction. I feel like you kidding me.
00:33:13.300I'm not, I'm not kidding. I, I feel like they're just a little bit too fast paced for me. They're
00:33:18.780just a little bit too much pressure. Like I would run and hide in my van. That's what I bet. I'll
00:33:23.440make an exception for the day the CBC gets auctioned off because again, like I said, it's going to be
00:33:27.860the best day of my life. My father was fluent in Ukrainian. We're not, there are no Ukrainians
00:33:34.460in our wood pile. I don't know how we escaped that, but we are not even a little bit Ukrainian for
00:33:40.200being Northeastern Alberta where all the names in the phone book and in Y or I, but we're not even
00:33:47.840a little bit. My dad fluent in Ukrainian. Why? Because nobody could talk about the deals or what
00:33:55.000wasn't a deal at the farm auctions without him knowing. And a lot of the language of business at
00:34:00.900the time was done in Ukrainian to avoid outsiders, which were the non-Ukrainian speakers from figuring
00:34:07.160out what was going on. So anyways, yeah, that's just a little tidbit about gun family history.
00:34:13.080He loved to listen to the Ukrainian hour on 790 CFCW. He did. He loved him some Ukrainian music.
00:34:21.600Anyway, let's keep going. Premier Ford. He has finally, after running his yap for the better part
00:34:31.520of six weeks, decided, you know, I should go. I should go to Washington. But now everybody knows
00:34:38.840what he thinks of Washington. So might be a little bit late. He went to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in
00:34:45.840Washington and reminds the Americans that we can deliver from Ontario electricity as far south as
00:34:51.520Florida on a moment's notice. We can flick on the switch or flick off the switch.
00:34:57.640Still making friends, Doug. Still just making friends like nobody says this.
00:35:05.080He can't even plead his case properly. Why?
00:35:09.960I want to further integrate our energy and electricity grids. People don't realize as we stand right here,
00:35:17.820right now, we can deliver from Ontario electricity as far south as Florida. In just a moment's notice,
00:35:26.960we can flick on the switch or flick off the switch. I prefer flicking on all the all the switches and encourage
00:35:34.400more exports of Canadian energy and electricity to the U.S. to power your economic growth.
00:35:45.280That's really gonna win them over, Doug. Just telling them that you could shut off all the lights on the entire East Coast.
00:35:51.360That's gonna win them over. You idiot. Somebody needs to stuff a pair of underwear in Doug Ford's mouth, for God's sakes.
00:35:58.800He should not be able to talk off the cuff. Like somebody needs to rein him in. Put a collar on him, for God's sakes.
00:36:04.800I think the worst part is those were prepared. Like that speech was prepared. Somebody thought that that was a good idea.
00:36:12.240It looked like he was reading something there. I said last week on the show, how is it possible that Doug Ford, because it was kind of close to a Groundhog Day,
00:36:20.220how is it possible that he looks both like Weirton Willie and the guy who holds up Weirton Willie?
00:36:26.460I don't know how, but he's done it. And threatening upstate New York with a blackout, not a great idea.
00:36:34.380Do you remember maybe like two decades ago when they had a blackout in New York and it was like mayhem? It was like the purge?
00:36:41.020Yes, because none of their infrastructure works. Like none of their subways work. None of the people could use elevators.
00:36:47.740Like it was a big, big hairy deal. And Doug is just like, we could do that to you if we wanted. I can do that to you. No problem.
00:36:55.120Like, oh, Doug Ford. I got to say, Sheila, David Menzies piece last week, 10 reasons not to vote for Doug Ford.
00:37:05.320Absolutely incredible masterpiece. Like I'm going to invent an award, order a trophy and give it to David Menzies for that piece,
00:37:12.880because this is what we should be doing to politicians who aren't holding up their end of the bargain is shaming them publicly for not holding up their end of the bargain.
00:37:20.200And, and, and so I just wanted to give David Menzies just some public love for that because it was just awesome.
00:39:32.360He has very important key allies that sit in the Senate and sit in the Congress that he needs their support.
00:39:39.980So we're going to continue communicating our message about the Amkin fortress.
00:39:44.340Let's face it, Doug, maybe you'd be better at negotiating with Trump had you not called a provincial election out of nowhere and had to campaign and had to try and retain your job.
00:39:58.640Maybe if you hadn't done that, give and force the people of Ontario into an election that they did not want instead of encouraging the federal government to give them the election they do want.
00:40:11.420Maybe you'd be on the ball on this, Dougie.
00:40:39.640Like, once he's in Canada in front of the Canadian media, and then he goes to the Americans and he's like, you know, he's one of the smartest people I've ever seen.
00:41:35.240And listen, Trump, nobody has a memory for being burned like Donald Trump.
00:41:41.640Nobody logged those insults like that guy.
00:41:44.860Remember, he spent four years listening to his enemies talk crap about him in public, including Christopher Freeland, including Justin Trudeau, including the entire Liberal Party of Canada.
00:41:54.880And Doug thinks they're going to forget what he said two days ago.
00:45:19.680But and if you listen to CUPE, they're like, well, that's fine.
00:45:22.840We'll just nationalize all the companies that want to move to the United States because they want to avoid tariffs or relocate to a more favorable tax regime or whatever.
00:45:34.120They're like, no, we'll just nationalize it.
00:45:53.620I mean, but of course, CUPE would say that.
00:45:55.260CUPE is also saying that Canadians that are considering taking their families and businesses across the border to live in America.
00:46:02.840Well, our country devolves into a communist crap hole, OK, that that their property should be seized, that their property should be seized.
00:47:03.120Americans have no and this falls squarely on Justin Trudeau's anti oil government and the fact that he does not have a trade envoy in Washington ever making the case for this stuff.
00:47:12.500And Dan or and Rachel Notley, once when she became premier here in Alberta, we had an envoy in Washington from Alberta that all his job was Rob Merrifield, former Harper.
00:47:43.700And then now now this is the woman on Justin Trudeau's trade task force with Trump.
00:47:49.960First thing she did was recall Rob Merrifield.
00:47:52.360So she I mean, she kiboshed any sort of idea of trade with the Americans from Alberta.
00:47:58.340But this is Daniel Smith and she is a different woman and she's a brighter woman.
00:48:01.720She says strong Canada, U.S. trade ties means jobs, energy security and economic growth on both sides of the border.
00:48:09.960Alberta alone supplies 56 percent of all U.S. oil imports, twice as much as Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Iraq combined.
00:48:17.100That fuels American refineries, which employs over twenty five thousand workers and turns one hundred billion dollars in Alberta energy exports into three hundred billion in value added products.
00:48:49.760That's making the case for trade with maybe not the rest of the country, but with us like a million Americans just about are reliant on trade.
00:49:00.320With Alberta for their jobs through oil and gas, which, incidentally, we sell at a reduced rate to the Americans because we don't have market access because the liberals made sure that Northern Gateway never got built.
00:49:11.520And so that's what she's been doing whenever she goes to Washington.
00:50:07.500No, there is a failure on both parts there.
00:50:12.280But she is such a skilled diplomat, isn't she?
00:50:15.940I mean, there is nobody that is doing a better job representing the interests of both Alberta, but the country and also the country, Sheila.
00:50:25.920She is a de facto diplomat to the United States right now.
00:50:30.200And I would not want to think about where we would be had it not been her work over these last several months.
00:50:37.180We would be in, well, we are still in absolute chaos.
00:50:44.500And we would be under crushing tariffs right now.
00:50:47.920We wouldn't even have the reprieve we have right now for Trudeau to screw it up and not appoint a fentanyl czar, which he should have appointed the day before the tariffs.
00:51:11.680But again, as it pertains to safe supply in Canada, you must consider it, again, like you do all things that Trudeau upholds, the exact opposite of what he says is what he means.
00:51:26.060And so it's really hard when you're outright trying to kill Canadians.
00:51:51.120I mean, a dead citizen is the cheapest citizen.
00:51:54.980And that is what Justin Trudeau has done.
00:51:57.960And so, I mean, we are just in such a precarious position in Canada right now because of the multitude of failings of our federal government.
00:52:07.620I think that people are really just looking for a lifeline at this point.
00:53:26.440I should also mention he's not only the billionaire buddy of Donald Trump, he's also the billionaire buddy of Pierre Polyev here in Canada.
00:53:33.140We want to pick a fight with this guy because we want to take him on.
00:53:36.600I'm not going to stand back while he takes shots at our country.
00:53:39.700So our move now is we want to put 100% tariff on Tesla cars.
00:53:45.420You pick a fight with Canada, we're going to fight back.
00:53:47.860We're going to make sure Donald Trump and Elon Musk feel it.
00:53:50.020Okay, well, first of all, he's not Donald Trump's buddy.
00:54:25.780And Jagmeet Singh thinks that putting 100% tariffs on the, you know, 5 or 10,000 vehicles that are coming into Canada is going to harm Elon Musk.
00:54:41.940And Jagmeet Singh better be real careful, okay?
00:54:44.040Because if they find out, if they hear this, like if this gets propagated direct, straight to Elon's or Donald Trump's ears, what they're going to do is they're going to smack 150% tariff on our critical minerals.
00:54:57.120That's what the United States is going to do.
00:54:59.180Because they're, well, while our Canadian politicians are playing chess, our American politicians are playing battleship with them.
00:55:36.360So, Jagmeet Singh posts his threat to tariff Elon Musk to Elon Musk's ex.
00:55:48.940So, he can't, he, like, do you know what I mean?
00:55:54.420Like, okay, you'd want to tariff these luxury cars that almost, like, like you said, 5,000, 10,000 coming into the country every year.
00:56:03.280But he wants to put 100% tariff on Teslas and then he announces it on his ex account and ex is owned by Musk.
00:56:09.640Like, if you don't, if you want to really show Elon Musk, why don't you really show us how serious you are and disappear from ex to blue sky with all the minor attracted people over there?
00:56:22.680Well, that would prohibit him from having anybody read it, though.
00:56:35.420But, but what, like, I love how he's like, we're gonna, you know, we're gonna ban Teslas and then everybody's gonna go out and buy a Canadian-made EV and we're gonna give them $10,000 credits to, to buy a Canadian EV.
00:56:49.340You would have to, you would have to pay me outright for the entire cost of a Canadian EV and then give me $10,000 on top of it.
00:57:00.140And then it would just sit in the garage because I'd be too embarrassed to drive it.
00:57:36.160Trudeau of all people, Mr. Funder of the CBC and CBC had to retract and or correct two separate stories accusing the Freedom Convoy of being some sort of Kremlin-run operation.
00:57:52.460They're the ones that said the majority of the money going to the Freedom Convoy was foreign and deputies just said it wasn't.
00:58:02.420They're the biggest peddlers of disinformation there ever was.
00:58:07.720Even just to, like, two weeks to flatten the curve, three years later.
00:58:14.480This is, I mean, they just can't shut their mouths.
00:58:20.180Like, if they went into just complete silence for two weeks, it would be better than whatever they're trying to do right now dealing with Trump.
00:59:08.760And this is an NGO that's funded by USAID to train journalists to be able to tamp down dissent and criticism and regular questioning people by labeling them purveyors of disinformation and misinformation.
00:59:29.780The Global Affairs Canada, okay, Global Affairs Canada also contributes to the Atlantic Council of America.
00:59:38.280And you wonder what services Global Affairs Canada got in return for this training that they put on.
00:59:45.960And when you hear Canadian journalists start talking about disinformation and misinformation, what you should think as a smart person is what are they trying to convince me not to think?
01:00:03.880Because when they call it disinformation and misinformation, that's because we are getting too close to the truth for their liking.
01:00:11.740So every time Justin Trudeau uses those words, you need to go in the exact opposite direction, as you do with everything Justin Trudeau says.
01:00:19.160But it was just staggering to learn that Global Affairs Canada is participating in this.
01:00:29.020We see this sort of stuff all the time where Global Affairs Canada, Heritage Canada too, they fund the NGO, which is really just an activist group with favorable tax status, to do the dirty work of the liberals.
01:00:42.900And they call it foreign aid, domestic aid, equity advancement is another one.
01:00:51.780How do you think the mayor of Emo, Ontario got sued?
01:00:56.020It was through a grant to Borderlands Pride.
01:00:59.560And we were, I just got to bring it back.
01:01:02.260In December, we were onto this already, Sheila, before USAID got exposed.
01:01:10.580We were saying to rebel viewers, we were saying the federal government uses NGOs to do their dirty work.
01:01:17.580And we were talking about it in a context of the mayor of Emo, Ontario, who got sued by EGAL for not flying the pride flag.
01:01:25.860We went, this is happening all the time in Canada.
01:01:28.060This is a way for them to do their dirty work.
01:01:31.460And lookie here, they're doing even more of it.
01:01:34.980And what's incredible, if you aren't on X, okay, if you're a listener and you're not on X, you should be.
01:01:42.120Because Canadians have been digging into the grant databases available online and exposing an insane amount of institutional rot, an insane amount of institutional rot.
01:01:58.420And to get all of those discoveries, I mean, there's no better place in the world to find it than on X.
01:02:05.560Well, and we've been, we, the Canadian taxpayer, has been funding this activism far beyond the LGBTQ stuff, which is sort of a more recent develop, I would say, development, like from 2017 forward.
01:02:18.420But even before that, once Justin Trudeau got into power, he was dumping money on the activist groups, the environmental activist groups, the environmental charities that don't do any actual charity work.
01:02:31.000And that's how the opposition to those pipelines that got canceled.
01:02:35.820It was so loud, it was so loud, that the Justin Trudeau liberals just had to listen to it.
01:02:43.460Well, it wasn't loud because you were giving them money to be loud so that they could be part of the legitimization of the anti-pipeline movement.
01:02:53.900And it made it seem a lot louder and larger than it really was.
01:03:23.280But that Pierre, that it got on the, that it got on the radar of Pierre Polyev, that he said he is going to take money away from, you know, international, really global, global affairs Canada, and put it where it would be better used for Canadians.
01:03:37.880That tells me that he's really, really engaged with what people are exposing on X right now, what Canadians are exposing on X right now.
01:03:46.440So it's just phenomenal what's happening.
01:03:47.840And we're seeing a groundswell of citizen journalists really, really digging into where the government has been screwing us forever and, and exposing it for all the world to see.
01:03:58.260And nobody deserves a bigger, brighter light shone on it than our federal government.
01:04:05.120Let's, since we just touched on this, we'll show this clip, and then we will do a quick little rebel ad.
01:04:12.900And since we've been giving her for an hour and four minutes without any break whatsoever, and that's fine with people forever.
01:04:23.120But Pierre Polyev says under his leadership, and it's funny, because I watched this yesterday, and I was like, dang, he looks real cold.
01:04:30.600And, you know, you know the, when your face starts to freeze when you're outside and you're trying to talk, when it's this cold and your lips don't work properly.
01:04:47.800But he says that he is going to make massive cuts to foreign spending and redirect the funding to his Canada First plan from his lips, his frozen little lips to God's ears.
01:04:59.900All of these improvements will be funded by dramatically cutting foreign aid, most of which, or a lot of which, goes to dictators, terrorists, and global bureaucracies.
01:05:12.720We've got our own backyard to protect.
01:05:15.000We can't be sending billions of dollars to other places.
01:05:18.200Often, much of it is wasted and stolen and swallowed up by bureaucracies that act against our interests.
01:05:25.120I will be bringing our money home with massive cuts to these wasteful and corrupt foreign aid grants.
01:05:31.120So Canadians will decide with Trudeau, Carney, liberals, more and more billions of dollars will go to global and globalist organizations while our people at home are starving and our military is unable to defend our territory.
01:05:48.520Or they can bring it home with common sense conservatives who will make sure our money serves our people, our sovereignty, and our interests.
01:05:59.880I dare say he's been paying attention to what's happening at Doge in the United States.
01:07:26.840How Canadians are being allowed to go homeless.
01:07:30.340How Canadians are lining up at food banks when we have billions of dollars going out the door, like, flying out the door on pointless, insane federal government initiatives.
01:08:10.540I found one that I also, I think it might be today or tomorrow, so stay tuned, about, they gave money to gender, balanced gender perspectives on the sanitation committee in a town in Paraguay.
01:08:27.540And I was like, this ended only, like, one of two ways, with a dysentery outbreak or none of the local women deciding that they wanted to be on the local crapper commission.
01:08:42.600Like, I just, I was like, how did we get it?
01:08:45.340How did this get on global affairs radar?
01:08:50.460How, how do, how do these things get approved?
01:08:54.400Like, how do they actually get approved?
01:08:56.780Because even on the surface, you read it, you go, really, is this like this, is this a good use, a good, are we being good stewards of the taxpayer dollar?
01:09:08.160But every, I would like to, I would like to just add that it seems to me that every time a government grant is, is, is given to something for women, okay, for women, especially in foreign countries, that's just code for depopulation.
01:09:26.860Like, that's just code for depopulation.
01:09:28.940So, we're, we're, should we be depopulating the earth on behalf of a foreign country?
01:09:36.660Should that be the purview of our federal government and the country of Canada?
01:10:18.180Let's hit a Rebel News ad break and then we'll come back and we'll talk about what April Hutchinson's going to be up to in a few short weeks and how people can make sure that they see her.
01:10:54.660Order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love at freedompassport.ca.

01:20:33.480There's strong Howard Hughes vibes there between the Kleenex boxes on her feet and the, uh, mask, the hypochondriac mask.
01:20:43.740Um, if her nails were like four feet long, she would look like Howard and stage Howard Hughes when he was going through his worst hypochondria.
01:20:56.260People can't even dress themselves and they want, they're the ones telling us, don't worry, just cancel your Disney Plus to make life more affordable.
01:21:02.400No, cancel your ugly ass shoes and then we'll talk.
01:22:09.580Well, Canada should be absolutely delighted that Arif Varani is not running for running for his seat anymore, because really in terms of destruction and destruction of Canadian culture.
01:22:22.120Now, mind you, this was, uh, this was a man who came to Canada as a Ugandan refugee member.
01:22:37.760The Aga Khan appealed to Trudeau senior to take in all of these people that had been kicked out of Uganda.
01:22:43.680This is how Arif Varani, um, arrived in Canada in the 1970s.
01:22:48.480So here's a guy who has installed hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of liberal donors as justices in our court system over the last couple of years.
01:22:57.760This is a guy that proposed the most Orwellian crazy piece of, uh, censorship legislation that would have made Canadians, um, it will, it would have made Canadians, uh, uh, uh, stop talking to each other forever, um, under the threat of life in prison.
01:23:16.560Okay. Life in prison for things you think, don't even say, but the things you think, um, we should be celebrating in the streets that Arif Varani is bowing out of government because nobody deserves to bow harder.
01:23:28.360But I can't wait to see a report, Sheila, because I remember when he was trying to, when he was trying to muscle up support for his online harms bill and the meeting at the governor general's, uh, house.
01:23:39.920That's with gender rights activists, prioritizing their voices over actual women was just such an affront.
01:23:48.040And I can't wait to see what you uncover in those freedom of information documents.
01:23:53.120Yeah. I mean, the guy's just a liar. And then, uh, he comes to Canada, enjoys our freedoms as we all should, as I hope every immigrant to this country does, but then do not find a position of power and then proceed to take them away from us, which is what he was doing.
01:24:09.760He took a piece of legislation, uh, which he said was to prevent online harms directed at children and then made it what the most Orwellian censorious piece of legislation outside of, I think, North Korea and probably China, where you could be convicted of pre-crimes held under house of under house arrest for pre-crimes, pre-crimes things you haven't even done yet.
01:24:36.200Um, and if you caused somebody else or had the potential to cause somebody else to dislike another person, which is literally my entire job here at Rebel News, uh, you could go to jail.
01:24:50.320Um, and then also, uh, the fines for hurt feelings, um, and a fund to advance people to make complaints against other people, um, for hurt feelings.
01:25:02.240And guess who would report somebody else for hurt feelings and then seek compensation for hurt feelings?
01:25:08.540The liberal types. Like, this is not, this was just like a money laundering scheme for liberal activists.
01:25:16.020Yes. Yes. Well, kneecapping the ability for normal Canadians to have a say in how their lives go and what, what happens to us.
01:25:22.620I mean, it's just crazy. We should be dancing in the street over this man, over this man. I mean, yeah.
01:25:28.440Resigning. Yeah. And that is, that is the, and that was this like welcome side effect of prorogation is that it stopped that anti-hate legislation in its tracks.
01:25:46.540Okay. We've got a video of Trump warning Hamas. Um, and then we can cut Lisa's mic so that she can deal, deal with her incoming phone call. Um, Trump warning Hamas. As far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 o'clock, I'll say cancel it. All bets are off and all hell will break loose. So this is the deal to have the hostages released. Uh, let's watch it. And then by then the message will be in for lease and we can turn her back on.
01:26:16.540Well, I would say this, and I'm going to let that because it's Israel's decision. But, uh, as far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time.
01:26:29.120Uh, I would say cancel it and all bets are off and, uh, let hell break out. I'd say they ought to be returned by 12 o'clock on Saturday. And if they're not returned, all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two, uh, Saturday at 12 o'clock.
01:26:51.220And after that, I would say, uh, all hell is going to break out.
01:27:04.180Like, thank goodness. Um, I have a friend that works, uh, in, in the international aid, uh, sector, um, in conflict zones. When wars break out and 500,000 people are a million people are walking 800 kilometers.
01:27:19.880She bombs in there to, to help set up maternity hospitals and to make sure that there's clean water and they do training real aid work.
01:27:27.740It is real aid work. That is actually real aid work and really valuable aid work that has to continue. Um, but, but what, what she says, so they do, they do specific training about hostage being taken hostage, because this is a very real possibility when you're working in these high conflict zones in the world.
01:27:47.960And the piece of advice that she got was if ever you're, if you, if ever you're taken hostage, you want to sit right next to the Americans, right next to them, because their country will go in, their country will go in and rescue them.
01:28:03.480Right. Whereas Canadians, if you're an aid worker and you're in Canada and, uh, and the hostage takers start negotiating, Canada will not negotiate. Not only will Canada not negotiate, but they will freeze the bank accounts of your friends and family so that they can't negotiate on your behalf either.
01:28:18.640But isn't that interesting that Trump is like all of them, all of them by Saturday noon, he is not playing. This is, uh, and this is how you have to treat these people that, that would hold hostages. This is how you have to treat them with force.
01:28:33.240Right. This is what we got in America. It's incredible.
01:28:36.920Well, and did you notice he sort of just made up the Saturday at 12 number on the spot? He was like, yeah, you know what? How about Saturday at 12? That's when I will have officially had enough, no more of the suffering of these people.
01:28:49.640They are no longer leveraged in your, uh, terroristic war on the only reasonable democracy in the Middle East. Um, and Trump has a proposal for Gaza, uh, relocate the Gazans to the rest of the region and turn it into the Riviera of the Middle East.
01:29:09.380And, uh, I think it's interesting that some of the other countries in the region are like, no, thanks. We don't want them. That should tell you everything you need to know.
01:29:18.340Also, most of the Gazans have Jordanian last names. So that should tell you where they're ethnically compatible. However, Jordan likes it sort of, uh, somewhat benevolent dictatorship and they don't like the, like the troubles, um, that would come with people who are trained to see Israel as little Satan and America as big Satan and have been brainwashed by UNRWA schools, UN schools, uh, in Gaza.
01:29:48.340To hate freedom, liberty, free speech, women's rights, all those things.
01:29:52.900Jordan got rid of its rabble rosers and doesn't, isn't in any big hurry.
01:29:56.380Yeah, they're like, no, we sent them back. They're like, no, it's actually quite, quite peaceful here. And we're doing really good without them. Thanks so much. But, but is that surprising?
01:30:06.060Is that surprising that they would not want them? But, well, but, but then again, this is something that Trump could do too, is start, start making demands of countries to take back their own, um,
01:30:15.640their own, uh, citizens to, to bring it into this conflict.
01:30:22.200Because they were, they were at one point, many of them were Jordanian, um, or Egyptian. Um, they just have been generational, generational refugees as if there were such a thing. Like your first generation is refugee. And then after that, you're just a resident, uh, of, of that place.
01:30:41.860But not, not in Gaza, not in the Palestinian controlled territories. The UN, uh, claims that there are such things as generational refugees and the refugee camps, which I have laid my eyes upon are just neighborhoods.
01:30:55.860I'm like that. I've seen a refugee camp in Northern Iraq. That's just a Palestinian neighborhood, but the UN dubs them, uh, refugee camps, um, so that they can perpetuate the existence of UNRWA that Justin Trudeau, uh, funds and funds.
01:31:12.860And get, and get ready for what the left-wing corrupt media is going to say about this latest thing that Trump said, because how they're going to play it is, you know, Trump tees off on poor Palestinian refugees. Trump puts a fine point. You know what I mean? They're going to try and eviscerate him for this latest announcement. This, or, or, or, um, you know, Trump threatens Palestine if all of the hostages aren't released by Saturday. Impending war. Impending war. Impending war.
01:31:42.580This is how they're going to position it. Don't fall for it. Don't believe it. What he's doing is setting a firm set of expectations that they have the option, okay, to participate in. If you don't participate, he's already told you what he's going to do. So you're going to pay the price. Like either play nice or you're going to pay the price. That's Trump's way. And, and, uh, don't listen to the left-wing media when they try and spin it the other way.
01:32:07.400Well, and I like, I, I'm trying to make sense of all of this, which I don't think that I can, because if you relocate the Gazans, which three quarters of them, up to 80% of them, uh, sympathize with what happened on October 7th.
01:32:23.300And that number increased post-October 7th. So after seeing the atrocities, uh, filmed on body camps, the burning alive, the rapes, all those things, they decided, yeah, you know what? We like their style.
01:32:36.920So their support for that went up post-October 7th. And so relocating them to other Muslim countries where they would be culturally compatible within the region or Indonesia, where they already have, like, it's a majority Muslim country without a problem with terrorism. Um, you could relocate them to there and, but that's ethnic cleansing.
01:33:02.100But if you pack them up and move them to Canada en masse, that's just being good citizens of the world.
01:33:09.360That's humanitarian. That's, that's humanitarian is what that is.
01:33:14.440And so, and also they expect the West, but I mean, let's not kid ourselves. The weight will be carried by the Americans. They expect the West to rebuild Gaza nicer than it was before.
01:33:28.860So that it continues to be a nice place for terrorism to be percolated and barfed out into the rest of the world. That's what they expect. Or so they expect them to rebuild Gaza without strings attached, without the ability to prevent it from being that, which it is currently now one more time.
01:33:49.460Right. It doesn't make any sense, but none of it doesn't, but at least we have an adult in the room now with Donald Trump. At least we have an adult in the room instead of a bunch of bloviating, hand wringing, uh, terrorist enabling lunatics at the helm. At least we have an adult in the room with him.
01:34:11.340Yes. Uh, uh, uh, and it sounds like Hamas is like, no, we're not releasing them. Okay. Let's see how this goes. Yep.
01:34:19.660Let's see how it goes. By the way, the only people, uh, facing starvation, it would appear in Gaza are the Israeli hostages. Did you see that one that was released?
01:34:29.500Oh, he looked like he walked out of Auschwitz.
01:34:32.800That is exactly what I thought, Sheila. That is exactly what I thought. This is a person that's been, uh, deprived of all comforts, all sustenance, all nourishment.
01:34:46.000Held underground, uh, deprived of his family. His, um, their families were killed and then they come out of these hostage situations only, only to learn that their families have been obliterated.
01:35:03.540It is. I mean, which is exactly, exactly why they held them hostage. Uh, we've got a tweet from, uh, Leviathan on X. If you don't follow this person, uh, it's, uh, Sheila Gunn-Reed recommended follow just for just the information dump you get.
01:35:22.680Uh, the tweet, Canada has officially entered its first phase of establishing a Sharia country by allowing political candidates who align themselves with terrorist groups.
01:35:33.800Meet Dr. Bahira Abdusalim, an independent MPP candidate for the Don Valley West region of Toronto, originally from Egypt.
01:35:44.080She meets with her constituents every Sunday by joining them at the Jewish, oh Lord almighty, at the Jewish neighborhood of Bathurst and Shepard in Toronto.
01:35:53.960This is where they arrested Ezra to partake in the harassment and intimidation campaign that has been witnessed for the past four months in that area.
01:36:02.340Uh, she will even join them protesting at synagogues, wherever those happen as well.
01:36:06.440So, David Menzies can't come back to work soon enough.
01:36:09.960Um, her social media accounts, uh, her, she accounts her love for the terrorist group Hamas and its fallen leaders, uh, like Sinwar.
01:36:23.300Uh, anyways, she's running as an independent MPP.
01:36:27.320I'm surprised she's not running for the liberals in Ontario because they, uh, they don't really have a problem with this sort of stuff.
01:36:35.120They sort of let it go on week after week.
01:37:36.960From what I understand about Ontario, uh, there's a very strong contingent, uh, of people who are pro that.
01:37:43.280Um, you see them every single week on the streets of, uh, Toronto.
01:37:49.040And if you can muster enough of them in your perspective riding, well, heck, you might be the, uh, Hamas candidate, Hamas MPP in the Ontario legislature.
