Rebel News Podcast - Teck oilsands mine is now cancelled — Company cites Trudeau's lawlessness as key reason

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Terrible news today. Tech mines, tech resources, just canceled the $20

00:00:06.300 billion mining project that had the support of all 14 local Indian bands. Terrible news for

00:00:12.720 employment, for aboriginal reconciliation, terrible news for that. Terrible news for unity.

00:00:18.780 Huge wins for our OPEC oil and gas competitors who've just succeeded in eliminating a huge

00:00:27.480 source of oil. It's a tragedy, really, but Justin Trudeau is celebrating. Pardon me, if you'd like

00:00:49.500 now for my thoughts on the tech resources mine closure.

00:00:57.480 Tonight, after 10 years of regulatory approvals and 100% aboriginal buy-in, the mighty tech

00:01:16.060 oil sands mine is canceled, citing Trudeau's lawlessness. It's February 24th, and this is

00:01:22.600 The Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:25.880 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:29.620 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:33.700 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's

00:01:38.100 my bloody right to do so.

00:01:44.700 Hello, my friends. We've set up a new website at rebelnews.com. Tell me what you think about

00:01:49.740 it. We've also set up a new video player, so you might have to reset your password if

00:01:55.660 that's causing you trouble. Any questions, just email help at rebelnews.com, and we'll

00:02:01.080 get it sorted out.

00:02:02.540 Anyways, to today's story, of course it was canceled, the Tech Frontier mine, just like

00:02:09.900 the Northern Gateway pipeline was canceled, and the Energy East pipeline was canceled, and

00:02:13.760 the Trans Mountain pipeline has been canceled. This one is particularly huge, Tech Frontier,

00:02:19.680 a $20 billion oil sands mined, proposed by the Canadian mining giant Tech. They're based

00:02:27.000 in Canada, Vancouver actually, so this is about as good as it gets. Canadian jobs, Canadian

00:02:33.020 company, Canadian shareholders. But late last night, the company sent a letter to Trudeau's

00:02:38.560 Environment Minister just canceling the whole $20 billion deal. They were nice about it.

00:02:44.680 I mean, they're still professionals. They're still a publicly traded company. They have to

00:02:49.060 be grown up about things. But they've spent 10 years jumping through hoops, filling out

00:02:54.200 government paperwork, consulting with local Indian bands. 10 years. They passed every test,

00:03:00.400 by the way. They spent more than $1 billion just filling out the application form, really.

00:03:05.300 But they simply aren't going to go forward with the next $20 billion in the absolute malicious

00:03:12.500 anarchy that is just in Trudeau's Canada. The latter talks about a public debate and global warming and

00:03:19.480 things like that. And it's true that Tech's mine would have had very low carbon dioxide emissions if

00:03:25.140 you're worried about that sort of thing. But none of that is relevant to why they canceled. Like I say,

00:03:30.340 they passed all the regulations already. They were approved. They were lawful. They had their permit.

00:03:38.160 It's just that they no longer believe that Canada is a place with the rule of law. At least they don't

00:03:43.020 believe it fervently enough to bet $20 billion of their investors' money on the roulette wheel that

00:03:49.420 when Justin Trudeau's in charge. There is no constructive path forward for the project,

00:03:56.980 they wrote. The situation that has faced Frontier will be faced by future projects and it will be

00:04:03.860 very difficult to attract future investment, either domestic or foreign, they wrote.

00:04:10.180 Yeah, I mean, would you invest your life savings, let's say, in a Canadian oil sands project or pipeline

00:04:15.900 under Justin Trudeau? The strange thing about it was that Trudeau was set to make a final decision

00:04:21.620 on the mine in just a couple of days. And for weeks, liberal MPs, including some in cabinet,

00:04:26.580 have been publicly saying that they want to kill the deal. There were constant leaks from the liberal

00:04:31.700 caucus meetings trying to paint Trudeau into a corner over it. So yeah, Tech just pulled out.

00:04:36.780 I bet there's some deal in place whereby Trudeau gives them $1.1 billion in taxpayers' money

00:04:43.320 to tech to avoid a lawsuit. That's pretty much what Trudeau did when he killed the Trans Mountain

00:04:49.300 pipeline. You don't actually think that's going to get built, do you? I think it's a stitch-up,

00:04:55.960 an inside job. Literally hours before the deal was killed, the province of Alberta signed an agreement

00:05:01.740 with 14 local Indian bands cementing their support for the project, support they had already professed.

00:05:08.080 So this wasn't suicide by Tech. This was a murder. You know, Justin Trudeau has been a disaster when

00:05:16.200 it comes to Aboriginal people. I'm not just talking about how he fired Jody Wilson-Raybould,

00:05:20.320 the first Aboriginal justice minister in history, because she put her loyalty to the law ahead of

00:05:25.480 her loyalty to Trudeau and his McGill frat boy buddies. But his whole shtick, his whole fake talk

00:05:32.700 about reconciliation, it's just acting. It's just another costume. Just a few more lines to read

00:05:38.280 in his dramatic actor voice. We all saw the real Trudeau when a few Aboriginal activists paid, I think 0.89

00:05:43.720 it was $1,500 to go to a fancy reception, and they asked Trudeau about a poisoned Indian town that 0.99

00:05:51.300 Trudeau had promised to get clean water for, but he just hasn't. Thank you for being here tonight.

00:05:58.140 Thank you for being here. Thank you very much for your donation tonight. I really appreciate the

00:06:10.940 donation to the Liberal Party of Canada. And as we know, the Liberal Party is filled with different

00:06:19.780 perspectives and different opinions, and we respect them all, and our commitment to reconciliation

00:06:23.860 continues to be strong and committed, and we will continue to engage. Thank you, sir, for your

00:06:30.640 donation to the Liberal Party of Canada. I really appreciate you being here tonight. Thank you for

00:06:35.540 being here. That is why we are moving forward on reconciliation in a real and tangible way.

00:06:41.540 Thank you, sir. Thank you for being here tonight. Thank you for highlighting how important reconciliation

00:06:47.100 is. Thank you for being here tonight, sir. Thank you very much for your donation to the Liberal Party.

00:06:53.860 What an absolute disgrace he is. Yeah, we all know what Justin Trudeau thinks about Indians. I mean,

00:06:59.680 they're great for a prop or a woke tattoo like he's got to give him street cred with white liberal

00:07:05.340 women, but he has no time or place for actual Indians. Except as weapons to fight against the oil sands, 0.99

00:07:11.900 even if 14 out of 14 Indian bands around the Tech Frontier mine want it. Just like 20 out of 20 Indian 1.00

00:07:18.780 bands want the coastal gas link pipeline, the Wet'suwet'en First Nations. Say, you know who loves

00:07:24.760 Indians? Tech does. Hundreds of millions of dollars they've spent in contracts and jobs with Aboriginal

00:07:35.440 people. Countless agreements, training, cultural programs, jobs mainly. If you watch my show a lot,

00:07:44.260 you'll already know that the biggest employers of Aboriginal people in Canada are oil and gas and

00:07:49.360 mining. Of course, first of all, those activities often happen close to where Aboriginal people are. 0.79

00:07:55.880 So it's natural. Second, the nature of the work is a good fit. I am so proud of Tech and all the other

00:08:02.280 mining and oil sands and gas and pipeline companies. They're the ones actually doing reconciliation

00:08:09.340 with Aboriginal people. What has Trudeau done other than mock Indians and put on a headdress?

00:08:16.900 The media is the worst, of course. These past weeks, they've peddled disinformation that the

00:08:21.360 railway blockades were either done by Indians or in solidarity with Indians, particularly those with

00:08:26.740 Suatane First Nations up in northern BC where that coastal gas link pipeline is proposed to be built.

00:08:31.500 But of course, that's a lie. I told you that 20 out of 20 bands up there support the pipeline.

00:08:36.740 And when our own Kian Bextie went up there to check it out, who these protesters were,

00:08:41.280 he really saw just a bunch of white guys who had come in from Ontario. It was a fake protest.

00:08:49.520 Look, that guy, that guy there, he's from Ontario. We identified him. They're not real Indians. 1.00

00:08:55.880 They're a corporation funded by the Tides Foundation. It's not a real Indian band. 0.93

00:09:00.780 How sad. You know, cancelling the tech frontier mine will cost $20 billion in construction jobs

00:09:07.980 and countless billions more in ongoing oil operational jobs. The families that would have

00:09:16.160 gotten that employment, all the taxes paid, $20 billion, just gone. That's a full percent off our

00:09:22.120 GDP, you know. I suppose that'll push the whole country into recession. That's just the loss of

00:09:27.280 $20 billion. That's one percent. But on top of the loss of $10 or $15 billion each for the other

00:09:31.980 three pipelines killed by Trudeau, the $40 billion LNG project that he killed, well, that's over $100

00:09:38.180 billion right there. But everyone else in the world of finance, in the Toronto Stock Exchange,

00:09:44.300 also in New York and London and Hong Kong and Frankfurt, they're all saying,

00:09:48.740 thanks for the heads up, tech. Thanks for the warning. We'll pass on Canada, thanks. No mines,

00:09:58.780 no ports, no bridges, no pipelines, no LNG facilities. We'll go to Donald Trump's America,

00:10:04.520 where they're drilling and fracking and mining like crazy, building pipelines in one year, not 10 years.

00:10:12.140 And other places. Here's a map of tech's operations around the world. You can see they do a lot in

00:10:18.220 Canada, but also in Peru and in Chile. Now, Peru has been in a state of political chaos for years.

00:10:27.880 Riots. Chile, too. They had energy riots for weeks. Remember that? That's why they moved the UN Global

00:10:34.480 Warming Summit. I don't know if you remember, they raised the price of public transit in Santiago,

00:10:40.060 the capital, to pay for some fancy new green buses. People literally rioted. They burned public

00:10:46.580 utilities to the ground. Now, tech is operating just fine in those semi-civil war places like Peru

00:10:56.240 and Chile. No problem. No cancellation of any projects there. Those places are more politically

00:11:03.060 stable than tech thinks Canada is. Tech thinks they can make a go of it down there. They're risky,

00:11:09.480 of course they are. But the risk-adjusted rate of return makes them a winner. Tech can make a go

00:11:16.300 of it down there, but not so in Canada. Tech just can't, in good conscience, plow more of its

00:11:23.840 shareholders' money into Canada, while oil and gas demand has never been higher around the world. So

00:11:29.600 that's just in Trudeau's Canada. I see Jason Kenney is appalled, of course. And well,

00:11:34.540 he should be. But as we've been asking for months, so what? He keeps asking for things from Ottawa,

00:11:42.000 but without an or else. Why would Jason Kenney think that his mortal enemy, Justin Trudeau,

00:11:49.000 the mortal enemy of the West and oil and gas, why would anyone think that Trudeau and his destroyers

00:11:53.640 would do anything differently than they're doing right now? Stay with us for more on this subject

00:12:01.520 with Lauren Gunter. Well, we've spoken about this tech frontier mind several times with our friend

00:12:19.600 Lauren Gunter, so it won't surprise you that he has a new column out today in the Edmonton Sun

00:12:25.320 entitled, Tech Frontier Cancellation, Entirely Trudeau's Fault. It gives me no joy to read

00:12:32.620 through it, but every word of it is accurate. Joining us now via Skype from Edmonton is Lauren

00:12:38.100 Gunter. Lauren, good to see you again. They jumped through every hoop. They threaded the needle every

00:12:46.460 time. Ten years of doing the right thing. $1.1 billion they spent in compliance. 14 out of 14 Indian 0.77

00:12:54.920 band said, we want this. And then they looked around and said, what, are we crazy? And they just

00:13:02.240 laughed. I think that's what happened. So Sunday morning, even, the Alberta provincial government

00:13:09.660 signed up the last two Cree nations up in the area of this new mine to environmental agreements with

00:13:18.640 the province. That was a big sticking point, apparently, for the federal government. So the

00:13:23.620 provincial government worked very hard to get these two First Nations to sign on. They did.

00:13:28.400 They make it a big announcement. And then shortly after that, Tech pulls the plug. And I have to say,

00:13:35.320 I'm glad you didn't contact me last night because I was inarticulate. I was so angry about this. I was

00:13:44.100 spitting, man. I even did several radio interviews this morning. And the same thing. I'm tripping over my

00:13:49.820 tongue trying to express just how furious I am about this and how furious I think Albertans are going

00:13:57.240 to be. I mean, we're talking here about 7,000 jobs in the construction phase. 7,000 jobs. This would

00:14:04.560 have, during the construction phase, raised the family incomes of Albertans by $8 billion over about a

00:14:13.780 three-year period. You know, that would be a huge chunk getting back to where we were before the NDP

00:14:20.220 were elected in 2015 and crashed our economy. And this is purely because the prime minister

00:14:28.440 is weak, weaker than any prime minister I've ever seen. And because he came out last Tuesday after his

00:14:36.540 emergency meeting with his operations cabinet committee and said, yeah, I don't know what to

00:14:42.160 do. Let's just wait. Let's just talk some more. Let's let the people who are on the barricades

00:14:47.980 continue to defy court orders and break the law. That seems reasonable. Doesn't it seem reasonable to

00:14:53.360 you? And as a result of that, Don Lindsay, who's the chief executive of Tech Resources, the people

00:14:59.580 behind the frontier oil sands mine said, there's just no point. We don't see a way forward. And this

00:15:08.140 is not something that was building for them for a long time. I mean, I think they've had reservations

00:15:13.240 for a long time. But as recently as early last week, Tech had said, look, yes, oil prices are a

00:15:19.580 little bit depressed right now. But we think over the lifetime of this mine, things will be fine.

00:15:24.700 So it's still economically viable as far as we're concerned. And now, four or five days later, he

00:15:31.540 says, well, events of recent days must mean the blockades have convinced us that there is no way

00:15:38.960 forward. And that that just that that doesn't resonate only for resource industries in Canada. This

00:15:47.160 simply says to the world, don't put your money here. There is no bonus for you. There's no benefit

00:15:54.280 to you to risk your your investment because the federal government of Canada will not have your

00:16:01.060 back. They won't enforce court orders to end blockades. They won't make sure that your shipments

00:16:06.500 get through by rail. They won't make sure that your manufactured goods can be built because all the

00:16:11.580 component parts are coming. It doesn't matter. Some people throw down some burning tires and some

00:16:16.060 wooden pallets on a train track. They'll be frozen with fear about what to do. They won't have any clue

00:16:22.440 and they'll just let it sit there for three weeks. Yeah. You know, I couldn't help but notice

00:16:29.280 that Donald Trump was in India today talking about more trade, 125,000 people meeting him in a stadium

00:16:37.320 and. No costume. The world is focused on other things. America, which used to be so thirsty for our

00:16:45.900 oil. Yeah, they still take oil imports, but now they're a net exporter. Oil production has never

00:16:52.940 been this high around the world. I hate to say it. You know that Chapters Indigo motto, the world needs

00:16:58.560 more Canada. We always say that and there's a bit of self-righteousness and condescension in that.

00:17:04.860 But you know what? The world should have more Canadian oil, but the world ain't waiting for Canadian

00:17:11.300 oil. They're getting it and doing it other ways. And we just missed the moment.

00:17:20.820 A substantial number of Chinese refineries are set up for the kind of bitumen heavy oil that we have.

00:17:30.080 I think we still have great potential to sell to China and other markets around the world,

00:17:36.180 even if we're losing some of our edge in the United States. But the point is not now,

00:17:43.220 is there a market for our oil? The point is, are we just going to beggar our economy so that we can

00:17:48.400 make Greta happen? And I think that's basically what we've become as a country. We've become a

00:17:53.340 country that is quite prepared to shut down its economy in the name of saving the planet, because

00:17:59.940 we think somehow by not moving forward with economic developments, we are going to prevent

00:18:06.080 global warming, which really still today is only shown in elaborate computer models, which cannot

00:18:15.320 even replicate past climate, much less predict future climate. This is such, you see again here,

00:18:22.580 I'm becoming inarticulate, because it is so frustrating to try and talk about this with the

00:18:29.280 people on the other side, because it is religious cant for them now. This is beyond ideology. This is

00:18:36.060 cultish, religious belief, as far as they're concerned. And they would be quite prepared to have all of us

00:18:44.140 sit in the dark without food or jobs, so that they could say, oh, look what we have done to save the

00:18:51.680 planet. You know, it's been interesting watching different people react to their rail lines being

00:18:58.140 shut down. I think Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal don't care when it's some Western thing shut down, but

00:19:06.460 God forbid you shut down their via rail, you shut down their highway, oh my God. Oh, I thought the

00:19:11.960 inconvenience and the frustration would only be felt in Alberta. I didn't think I had to do anything.

00:19:17.320 You know what, I mean, I live in Toronto now, and of course I don't want anyone to be harassed and

00:19:23.780 hassled by these blockades. But it's quite, it's quite evident to me that the electoral compact of

00:19:31.460 Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal for the parties of the left was, we get to be sneering and self-righteous

00:19:39.020 about climate. And Alberta can pay the price. So they love the tech frontier shutdown. They hate the

00:19:44.460 blockades in their neck of the woods. It's not supposed to happen that way. I'm sort of mixing a

00:19:49.320 couple of things there. But let me ask you the question I've been asking Albertans for months,

00:19:55.020 really. After Trudeau was reelected, despite all his corruption, despite everything,

00:20:02.020 the Wexit movement got a lot of attention. And Jason Kenney basically said, well, I'm going to try

00:20:11.700 and fix things from within. But there was no or else. So now, Justin Trudeau punches Jason Kenney in

00:20:20.400 the mouth. And where's the or else? Trans Mountain Pipeline is not going to be built. So where's the

00:20:26.600 or else? And what is, is anything going to change? Are people just going to grouse a bit

00:20:31.480 and go back to normal? I mean, is anything going to happen here? Or is people just going to roll over

00:20:36.600 again? I don't know. It's always tricky when people are economically vulnerable. You know, we tend to

00:20:48.500 think that revolutions happen when people are starving. They tend to happen, actually, when they've

00:20:54.800 started to get some food. Most revolutions in the last 200 years have been middle-class

00:21:02.180 revolutions, people whose economic power has exceeded their political power, and they pushed

00:21:07.400 for more power through revolution, or at least, you know, through radical changes. I don't know. I don't

00:21:15.620 know where we're going to go at this point. It's a little early in the process. But one of the things I am

00:21:21.300 prepared to predict is, the next time somebody decides to put a barricade or blockade on a rail

00:21:27.980 line in Alberta, I don't think you can expect people like Guy Simpson, the unemployed oil worker

00:21:34.800 who pulled down the one outside Edmonton, I don't think you can expect them to be polite.

00:21:38.520 I'm quite worried that people will say, look, there's absolutely no point in me being nice,

00:21:46.540 in me being polite, in me being nonviolent, because every time we do what's asked of us,

00:21:53.600 we're simply spat upon once again. And there's a level of frustration in the province right now that

00:22:01.060 I have never seen before, not even under the National Energy Program with Trudeau's father.

00:22:07.660 Was it as high, I think, as it is now?

00:22:10.000 Well, there is one more thing. You mentioned this just before we turn on the camera.

00:22:14.560 The Alberta Court of Appeal issued its ruling on the constitutionality of Trudeau imposing a carbon

00:22:22.480 tax on Alberta. Jason Kenney obviously opposed what Rachel Notley, his predecessor, supported.

00:22:28.300 And it was, to me, a surprising result. I honestly hadn't followed it that closely. Why

00:22:34.480 don't you tell our viewers a little bit about it? Because you've been following it a bit today.

00:22:37.820 It surprised me, too, for two reasons. One, because the Court of Appeal said that the carbon

00:22:45.260 tax was unconstitutional. I didn't think they were going to do that. The constitution is quite clear

00:22:49.480 that the federal government has the power to tax by any mode or method of taxation. I thought they

00:22:55.240 were going to get free and clear on that alone. But the Court of Appeal, so Court of Appeal struck

00:23:02.400 down the carbon tax. Secondly, it overwhelmingly struck down. I have not seen so clear and forceful

00:23:11.660 a ruling from a court in a very long time. They said if the carbon tax law is allowed to go ahead,

00:23:18.840 it will destroy federalism as it was intended in the constitution. It will make the provinces so

00:23:26.420 submissive to the federal government that there'll be no point in having the provinces. He said the

00:23:31.460 provinces, the majority decision was written by a guy named Tom Wakeling. And he said the constitution

00:23:38.340 makes it clear that the federal government and the provincial government are equal levels of

00:23:44.180 government within their own spheres of power, within their own spheres of authority. And this seeks

00:23:50.600 to intervene in a way never conceived of in the constitution before to allow the feds to come in

00:23:58.840 and make decisions in provincial jurisdiction by claiming that they're trying to solve the climate

00:24:04.620 emergency. And I really I read the decision and I my eyes were wide open. It saved me from having

00:24:13.160 one of the worst days I can remember as an Burton based on the tech decision, because I don't know

00:24:18.880 where this is going to go. It's going to go to the Supreme Court at some point. There's one from

00:24:23.580 Saskatchewan that went to the feds level. There's one going on in Ontario right now, which I expect will go

00:24:29.500 the feds way too. And the Supreme Court's going to have to sort these all out. But, but for now,

00:24:35.980 here, here to the Alberta Court of Appeal. Yeah. Huh. Well, I, I'm pretty pessimistic of what the

00:24:44.440 Supreme Court's going to do. Yeah, I am too. But, you know, today was a nice way to finish off a very

00:24:50.600 otherwise very bad day. Yeah. Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens next. I, I look forward

00:24:56.440 to hearing what our Alberta based reporters, Kian and Sheila, see on the ground. They're very much

00:25:01.680 on the ground. Sheila, especially, she interviewed Guy Simpson and some of his fellow blockade

00:25:08.920 clearers. We, we delivered them each, or Sheila did, a bunch of beer, which I thought was a fun

00:25:14.400 thing. And one of the guys, Zach Lamoureux, was hit by a blockader. So we have agreed to help him

00:25:22.180 sue that blockader for assault. So we're doing our, in a very small way, we're trying to push

00:25:27.980 back against the blockades. Lorne, it's great to see you again. Thanks for taking the time with us

00:25:31.260 today. Good to see you. All right. There you have it. Our friend, Lorne Gunter, senior columnist

00:25:35.980 with the Edmonton Sun. His piece in that newspaper today entitled, Tech Frontier Cancellation Entirely

00:25:42.140 Trudeau's Fault. Stay with us. More ahead on The Rebel.

00:25:44.840 Hey, welcome back on my monologue Friday about Trudeau's bailout media wanting a crackdown

00:25:59.560 on the non-bailout media. Doug writes, the liberal cartel has duped the average Canadian

00:26:04.720 into believing our media should be run by Trudeau, but paid by our hard-earned tax dollars.

00:26:09.400 Wake up, Canada. Yeah. What's so gross about this is that it's all the other

00:26:14.760 media now that are turning against the independent media. They are literally doing

00:26:20.620 Trudeau's bidding for him. It's so gross. Adrian writes, Canadian news sources seem to

00:26:26.720 be between a rock and a hard place. Refuse government money and risk bankruptcy or take

00:26:30.980 the money and tow the party line. Yeah, that would be a rock and a hard place if those were the only

00:26:38.260 two alternatives. I don't believe that we here at Rebel News are facing bankruptcy. I mean,

00:26:45.000 unless we were absolutely steamrolled by a whack of government prosecutions or something. But even

00:26:50.900 then, I think we would survive. So I don't think it's bankrupt or bailout. I think there's plenty of

00:26:58.020 room for private sector media. There are private sector media all around the world. Many media make a lot

00:27:03.900 of money. I think that's the reason why a lot of media are losing money is because they're so boring

00:27:10.920 and liberal and predictable and vanilla. Yeah, Trudeau wants to push us out of business, but he

00:27:17.800 hasn't done so yet. On my interview with conservative leadership hopeful Dr. Leslyn Lewis, Marion writes,

00:27:24.760 I'm very favorably impressed. She's articulate, confident, and willing to answer the tough questions.

00:27:29.260 Well, I'm glad you think so. And we have invited all the leadership candidates to come and talk to

00:27:35.060 us. I think most of them are chickening out. I think Peter McKay, I don't think he wants to. I

00:27:41.120 think we, I got to tell you, he really feels like a liberal to me. Aaron O'Toole personally promised

00:27:46.940 Kian that he'd do an interview with him and he's been dodging him. Hopefully he'll do an interview.

00:27:53.600 And I think there's one other candidate whose name escapes me right now. I'm sorry about that. But

00:27:57.220 yeah, I think the whole leadership contest is looking very depressing.

00:28:02.720 Gloria writes, I don't think much of her. She is evasive on all the important issues.

00:28:08.760 Well, look, I didn't want to grill the woman in my first encounter with her. I wanted to be a little 1.00

00:28:12.960 bit more biographical. She had some lines down pat, but on others, I just don't think that she is a

00:28:20.400 seasoned political operator. She's a lawyer and a businesswoman and a scholar too. I don't want to

00:28:27.020 be too harsh on her, but I tend to agree. I don't think that she could go toe to toe in a modern 1.00

00:28:33.600 election campaign against Justin Trudeau and succeed, which is a very important test. But I

00:28:39.460 wish her good luck. And we'll see if the other conservative leadership candidates come through

00:28:44.860 our doors. I sort of doubt they will. I think they know that we are conservative and I don't quite see

00:28:50.040 that yet in them. Hopefully I'm wrong. Hopefully I'm wrong. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here

00:28:55.120 at Rebel World Headquarters, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
