Stand on Guard with David Krayden - Big Bad Budget Battle EXPOSED! ｜ Stand on Guard

00:00:00.800 Hey, welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard. I'm your host, David Creighton, broadcasting to you live from Ottawa on a very overcast, rainy day here in our nation's capital on the precipice, on the cusp of a federal budget. We'll have more about that. Yes, and an update on the ostrich farm when we return in mere moments.

00:00:23.620 The Prime Minister lied and his minions continue to... Your home is your castle. We're calling on the government to introduce and immediately pass the Stand on Guard law. But we also need a resolve to resist.

00:00:44.720 We'll do it live.

00:00:54.120 We'll do it live! I'll write it and we'll do it live!

00:01:02.020 We're still doing it live. Thanks for joining me today.

00:01:05.620 We call this show the Big Bad Budget Battle, and that's supposed to sound like an old Dragnet episode.

00:01:12.480 Do you remember the old Dragnet episodes? About 52 to 59, I believe, in black and white, came back in color from 67 to 70.

00:01:23.880 Do you remember those? Yeah. Jack Webb, great shows, great shows.

00:01:28.560 And Jack was not liked, by the way. And I... Don't let me get distracted here, but, you know, the other side of me, of course, is entertainment.

00:01:37.360 So I should do more of, because politics can get you down.

00:01:41.560 Jack Webb was a freewheeling, fun-loving guy, married to Julie London at one time,

00:01:47.460 who was one of the most gorgeous and best female singers of the 1950s and 60s.

00:01:57.120 And the two of them used to go to nightclubs and just listen to jazz music.

00:02:01.320 And I did that the other night at a local hotel in Ottawa, Brook Street.

00:02:07.000 Not Brookfield, no, Brook Street.

00:02:09.420 And they have live jazz.

00:02:11.200 One of the few places left in Ottawa where you can sit and listen to great music like that.

00:02:17.320 And I just think I stayed for two and a half hours. Wonderful, wonderful.

00:02:20.660 And, of course, I used to perform myself.

00:02:25.520 So why am I telling you this?

00:02:27.040 Probably because I'm just so fed up with politics at the moment.

00:02:31.240 I don't know where this is going with the budget.

00:02:34.300 I think it's obvious that there's a blame game going on here between the conservatives, the NDP, and the liberals, the bloc.

00:02:44.420 I really don't give a damn about the bloc, except that they're there, that they constitute some votes.

00:02:48.940 I don't think they should be sitting in the House of Commons because they're only there to tear the country apart.

00:02:54.380 If you want to do that, fine.

00:02:55.460 Go back to Quebec. 0.97

00:02:56.440 Do it from Quebec, but don't do it from the House of Commons.

00:02:58.620 Don't collect a paycheck from the taxpayers and a pension from the taxpayers for trying to break the country apart.

00:03:05.320 I hope all of you out there agree with that.

00:03:07.140 I've been saying that since the bloc became a party and first sat in the House of Commons.

00:03:13.520 But once again, I digress.

00:03:15.120 Let's show this clip from CTV.

00:03:17.400 Maybe it's a bit of an update about what's happening here.

00:03:20.380 Two days before Mark Carney presents his first federal budget, it's still not clear which party will help the minority liberal government pass it.

00:03:29.120 We don't need a higher cost of living through a higher-costed budget.

00:03:33.220 We need an affordable budget for affordable lives for all Canadians.

00:03:36.620 The Conservatives and the bloc both say they're willing to help on their own terms.

00:03:41.860 Pierre Polyev is calling for fewer taxes and less spending.

00:03:45.720 The inflation that that spending has caused has landed on the shoulders of single moms and seniors and others who can't pay their bills. 0.98

00:03:53.700 But new polling by Nanos Research for CTV News shows more Canadians are willing to accept a higher level of spending if it means investing in programs for Canadians.

00:04:04.340 Support for the idea is up to 47% from 35% two years ago.

00:04:10.320 And note, note, note bien, NB.

00:04:14.960 If you ever wonder where NB comes from, it's Latin or Italian.

00:04:18.420 I can't remember which.

00:04:19.380 I think it's Latin.

00:04:20.160 For note well, note bien.

00:04:23.140 Listen, Canadians split on budget.

00:04:25.160 You listen to that news report.

00:04:27.380 It sounds like, oh, more Canadians want the government to spend more money.

00:04:31.020 And this is Nick Nanos' reporting, polling, by the way.

00:04:34.480 And I do find that NB's 10s, whether it's wittingly or unwittingly, whether it's because of the way they phrase the questions, I find that NB's polling favors the Liberals.

00:04:45.880 So 47% of Canadians want the government to spend more money.

00:04:51.440 48% want a balanced budget.

00:04:53.180 Well, more are still in favor of a balanced budget.

00:04:57.440 So, but that's not the gist of what you get from this report.

00:05:00.440 Neck and neck with those hoping for a balanced budget that cuts taxes.

00:05:05.360 The single most important thing this budget needs to work towards is increasing investment in Canada.

00:05:10.720 We have both immediate challenges with what we're doing with the United States and long-term challenges around growth and productivity.

00:05:19.020 Support for infrastructure investment as a top budget priority has doubled since 2023, now just behind tackling the deficit.

00:05:26.580 But health care remains the top priority for Canadians.

00:05:30.440 Even as issues like inflation, housing and tariff relief take away some of the focus.

00:05:35.460 For average Canadians, what they want to see is no cuts to health care at this particular point in time.

00:05:39.760 But they're going to want to see investments in the long term.

00:05:42.500 Mark Carney campaigned on a $4 billion investment in community health care and has repeatedly promised not to cut provincial health transfers.

00:05:51.080 While the Liberals don't have the votes to pass the budget on their own, they could do it if some opposition members abstained from voting.

00:05:59.280 Asked about that today, Poiliev says his Conservative MPs will be there Tuesday and do their jobs.

00:06:06.560 Heather.

00:06:07.080 Thank you, Colton.

00:06:08.260 CTV's Colton Prail in Ottawa.

00:06:10.840 Yeah, thank you very much, Colton.

00:06:12.940 That's incredible to me that they would still be playing these games at the last minute.

00:06:22.120 Carney wants the NDP to vote against this budget.

00:06:25.700 That's why he's not meeting with the interim leader, Davies.

00:06:28.880 He's having nothing to do with it.

00:06:32.000 He wants to ostracize the NDP so the NDP will vote against it.

00:06:37.140 We haven't heard a definitive stance from anybody in the opposition.

00:06:41.900 Poiliev's not saying whether or not they're going to support it or not support it.

00:06:47.180 Of course, they're going to have to listen to it first.

00:06:49.220 They've got their demands in.

00:06:51.000 But does Poiliev want a new election?

00:06:52.960 I honestly don't know if he thinks this is a good time to go or not.

00:07:00.560 We'll look at some polling later.

00:07:04.320 There's never going to be a perfect time for Poiliev to go.

00:07:09.900 Not ever again.

00:07:11.460 That perfect time was just before Justin Trudeau pulled the plug.

00:07:15.660 Had we had an election last year at this time, can you just imagine?

00:07:20.880 It would have been a massive conservative majority, the largest majority in the history of Canada,

00:07:27.060 surpassing that of Brian Mulrooney in 1984 and John Diefenbaker in 1958.

00:07:34.460 Would have been a massive conservative majority. 0.72

00:07:37.480 That's not going to happen any time soon.

00:07:39.660 Those numbers are not going to come back.

00:07:43.220 But can Poiliev win if he's a couple percentage of points ahead?

00:07:47.100 Yes, he can.

00:07:47.680 And can he pull ahead in the campaign?

00:07:51.520 Yes, he can if he doesn't fall for the same BS that he did last time his communications team puts out.

00:07:59.600 And God help us if Jenny Byrne runs another campaign. 1.00

00:08:03.200 I don't think she will.

00:08:04.820 I think it's been made quite clear to her that she's not welcomed by the rank and file,

00:08:09.200 the grassroots of the party, and even most of the caucus.

00:08:14.600 Don't do it again, Jenny.

00:08:15.980 So, can he win?

00:08:20.160 Yes.

00:08:20.540 But he needs to get the base out.

00:08:22.120 He needs to talk about the issues the base cares about.

00:08:26.260 Don't become a let's pretend liberal.

00:08:30.320 It's actually something John Turner.

00:08:32.280 Remember John Turner?

00:08:33.260 He accused Brian Mulrooney of being a let's pretend liberal.

00:08:35.980 And Brian Mulrooney in the campaign actually talked like a conservative.

00:08:44.500 I don't think he actually governed most times like a conservative.

00:08:48.500 But in the campaign, he knew he needed to galvanize the grassroots.

00:08:53.140 And he talked like a conservative.

00:08:57.520 I love this exchange here between Vassie Capellos and Tim Hodgson, the Energy and Natural Resources Minister. 0.94

00:09:05.460 This guy is so arrogant.

00:09:07.700 But she nails him to the wall. 0.98

00:09:10.060 And I'm not a publicist for Vassie Capellos.

00:09:13.420 Unlike some other propagandists on YouTube who are constantly extolling the virtues, constantly fawning over Vassie Capellos.

00:09:26.840 They just love her so much.

00:09:28.640 Well, I think of all the journalists, the high profile journalists in the mainstream media, I think Vassie probably does the best job.

00:09:37.700 But that's called doing your job.

00:09:40.220 And that's what she should be doing.

00:09:41.760 And she doesn't need a publicist out there amongst half of the conservative YouTubers saying, oh, we just love Vassie.

00:09:49.220 She's so wonderful.

00:09:51.120 And don't be mean to Vassie.

00:09:52.960 But she does an able job here of completely demolishing Tim Hodgson, who I think is emblematic.

00:10:02.820 He's the embodiment of the Marxist-kearney government. 0.90

00:10:09.960 Arrogant. 0.62

00:10:11.060 I'm not going to use that word. 0.93

00:10:13.460 Not arrogant.

00:10:14.080 I was going to say something else.

00:10:15.460 But arrogant to the point of being annoying chronically.

00:10:26.920 Remember Chrystia Freeland? 0.71

00:10:28.780 Remember how she was arrogant and preachy and always talking down to people? 1.00

00:10:37.120 Tim Hodgson is exactly like that.

00:10:39.020 And remember, Tim Hodgson is an old business buddy, a business crony of Mark Carney.

00:10:44.460 And one of the few people Mark Carney put in the cabinet because he really believes he's capable and able.

00:10:51.180 Half of the people in Mark Carney's cabinet are completely unfit for cabinet because they're incompetent.

00:10:57.340 And they've demonstrated that not just since they've been in cabinet, but throughout their entire careers.

00:11:02.600 Tim Hodgson has a level of competency, but it's the level of so arrogant, I'm in your face.

00:11:13.680 And I disagree with you, Tim Hodgson, on just about everything you're saying or doing.

00:11:19.280 But I admit, you say it very well.

00:11:22.000 You do it very, very, very poorly.

00:11:24.200 Also, the U.S. government has taken an ownership stake in two Canadian critical mineral companies.

00:11:28.920 There's a recent deal that will see Cameco, rather, again, give the U.S. government increased access to Canadian uranium.

00:11:36.020 Why are we handing the White House so much of our leverage with these strategic assets?

00:11:41.400 Let me repeat for your viewers again.

00:11:44.300 We believe in 26 different deals with nine different countries, with every single G7 country, along with other allied countries from four different continents.

00:11:59.060 The vast majority of those deals were with countries other than the United States.

00:12:04.820 The United States did participate in that.

00:12:07.280 We want them to.

00:12:08.620 We believe in multilateralism.

00:12:10.660 We believe that our supply chains will be more robust if we have many, many off-takers, not one or two.

00:12:21.380 And this is a win.

00:12:22.720 So I fundamentally reject your premise.

00:12:26.100 What we are doing is aligning ourselves with the G7.

00:12:29.900 We are aligning ourselves with a multilateral approach to solving this problem.

00:12:35.480 The U.S., though, has been spearheading for a long time, trying to prompt actions from allies, traditional allies, I should say, to counter China's dominance in the critical mineral space.

00:12:48.620 I combine the announcement today, and I take your point that it is a multilateral effort, with three other announcements, pardon me, which give the U.S. government specifically increased access to strategic assets in this country.

00:13:03.140 While at the same time the White House is throwing down tariffs, the ambassador is lambasting us, the president is referencing us as the 51st state, how do you reconcile that for Canadians?

00:13:14.120 Why are we handing that leverage over, Minister?

00:13:17.560 So let me give you a little bit of a history lesson.

00:13:21.120 For the last many years, people have been talking about the challenges of critical mineral supply chains.

00:13:28.480 It was our prime minister.

00:13:30.680 It was our prime minister who was the head of the G7 in Kananaskis in Alberta who said Canada will take the lead.

00:13:38.160 Canada proposed a critical minerals production alliance.

00:13:44.040 It was a Canadian initiative.

00:13:46.660 We got the agreement of the other G7 countries.

00:13:50.660 We suggested the other countries appoint critical mineral envoys, which they all did in response to our request.

00:13:59.260 And since the summer, we, Canada, have been taking the lead with our critical mineral envoys, working with the critical mineral envoys of nine other countries, including every single G7 country, to turn that talk into real action.

00:14:16.360 And that real action is $6.4 billion of Canadian projects now moving ahead to go from talk to reality.

00:14:28.940 I think that's a great example of Canada punching above its weight.

00:14:33.840 Thank you, Minister, for the history lesson.

00:14:35.240 But it doesn't address the substance of my question around why.

00:14:39.760 Thank you, Minister, for the history lesson.

00:14:42.520 Nice, nice comeback.

00:14:44.400 But it doesn't address.

00:14:45.540 We are allowing the U.S. government, not U.S. companies, the U.S. government, increased access to strategic assets at a time when we are engaged in a trade war, at a time when the prime minister has specifically said the relationship, as we know it with the United States, as far as economic and security interdependence, is over.

00:15:05.080 Is that not the converse of what your party and your government has told Canadians?

00:15:10.820 Again, I don't think you have it accurate.

00:15:13.980 Again, I just don't think we're talking at the same intellectual level.

00:15:22.540 I don't think this conversation is at all coherent, largely because you don't seem to understand the point. 0.97

00:15:30.360 What an arrogant S.O.B.

00:15:33.520 Is that not the converse of what your party and your government has told Canadians? 0.86

00:16:04.520 Again, I don't think you have it accurate.

00:16:08.880 We have never said we don't want to trade with Americans.

00:16:11.800 Americans have been great trading parts.

00:16:13.480 What we've said is we want to diversify and grow our trading relationships.

00:16:17.420 What the prime minister has said is we will significantly grow our trading relationships with other allies, with other allies who share our values.

00:16:27.800 What did we just do?

00:16:29.140 We just announced 26 deals with nine different countries, including every single G7 country.

00:16:38.980 We are doing what we said we would do, which is to diversify our trading relationships, grow our relationships with our allies.

00:16:48.420 That is what we've said from the very beginning.

00:16:50.460 That's what Canadians expect us to do.

00:16:52.840 We are not proposing to shrink our relationship with the Americans.

00:16:57.260 We are proposing to grow our relationship with others.

00:17:00.100 Are you sure that you and your party colleagues have never said that you're proposing to not keep the relationship where it is with the United States?

00:17:10.160 Because I remember the prime minister saying our old relationship we have with the U.S. based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperations is over.

00:17:19.420 That is the message with great respect, minister, that Canadians received during the campaign and after.

00:17:24.720 I understand that what you did today is about multilateralism, but not everything on the critical mineral file falls into that category.

00:17:32.040 And the examples I provided are about deepening the relationship with a White House, with a U.S. government that has taken direct aim at our country.

00:17:42.640 She gets four stars out of four for that question, for that statement, for saying, without saying, Mark Carney lied consistently, chronically, constantly during the election campaign with the elbows up BS.

00:17:58.200 He had no intention of changing the trade relationship with the United States.

00:18:02.040 He hasn't done anything with the United States since becoming the elected prime minister.

00:18:07.700 Mark Carney has failed miserably.

00:18:10.880 Yeah, we've got little trade deals with countries that matter virtually not at all with our trade.

00:18:17.240 Our largest trading partner remains the United States.

00:18:19.880 And Donald Trump says, I ain't talking to Mark Carney.

00:18:23.740 For how long?

00:18:24.940 He won't say.

00:18:26.460 Could be a long time.

00:18:28.420 And that's the most important trade relationship.

00:18:30.560 And you can sign deals with little countries that nobody even knows can find on a map.

00:18:37.020 But you've got to take care of business.

00:18:40.440 And Mark Carney's failed to do that.

00:18:41.840 That's the one thing he said he could do was take care of business.

00:18:44.600 I'm an international banker.

00:18:45.980 I understand Donald Trump.

00:18:47.320 I understand the United States.

00:18:48.620 They respect me.

00:18:49.380 Donald Trump doesn't respect Mark Carney at all.

00:18:52.080 Just come into the Oval Office and call me a transformative or transformational president.

00:19:00.060 And Brookfield might get some good deals out of us. 0.76

00:19:03.480 But I still think you're a simpering little do-nothing grifter.

00:19:09.980 That's exactly what Donald Trump thinks of Mark Carney.

00:19:14.280 So here I have Tim Hodges licking his lips just saying, oh, God, how dare you tell the truth about Mark Carney and his liberal cabinet?

00:19:23.300 Yeah, we all lied.

00:19:24.680 We all lied during the campaign.

00:19:26.380 And we'll lie again.

00:19:27.320 If there's an election campaign, and I think it's 50-50 right now, folks.

00:19:31.940 I'm saying it's 51-49 for an election.

00:19:35.680 I think there's a good possibility we're going to be in another election because of Mark Carney's ego.

00:19:42.740 It's going to be Mark Carney's ego versus peer polio.

00:19:47.540 That's what this election is going to be.

00:19:50.080 And I think the NDP will once again be a distant third.

00:19:53.140 The bloc will be there, but who the hell cares what they have to say about anything?

00:19:58.900 And it's going to be Mark Carney's ego, I'll say it again, versus peer polio.

00:20:05.800 That's what we're going to anticipate. 0.98

00:20:09.540 And if peer polio falls into the liberal trap again about making this about peer polio versus Donald Trump, he's crazy. 0.92

00:20:17.840 He's got to talk like the peer polio who went to all of those acts, the tax. 0.76

00:20:27.600 What am I thinking of?

00:20:29.560 Those fantastic rallies.

00:20:33.160 That's what I'm saying.

00:20:33.620 Sorry, I'm brain fart, as we used to say in the military.

00:20:36.940 Those fantastic rallies across the country where he mobilized, he galvanized, he motivated, he inspired conservatives.

00:20:46.000 Remember, at those rallies he talked about, not a single member of my caucus or cabinet, I think he said both cabinet and caucus, will be allowed to go to Davos, Switzerland, to attend World Economic Forum conferences when I'm prime minister.

00:21:02.560 And that got him the biggest standing ovation of anything he said, every time.

00:21:08.500 That's what the grassroots want to hear.

00:21:11.540 That's what peer polio has to say.

00:21:13.140 Okay, not every day.

00:21:14.120 He doesn't have to get out and do an anti-globalist message every day.

00:21:16.760 Yeah, he can stick to fighting crime.

00:21:18.600 He can stick to jail, not bail.

00:21:20.320 He can talk about safe streets and safe communities.

00:21:22.940 But he needs to talk about a little more that's important to conservative voters, small C conservative voters.

00:21:29.380 He needs to inspire them in this election so they come out in huge numbers to vote for that party.

00:21:35.320 If he wants to win.

00:21:38.500 That's what he needs to do.

00:21:40.380 He needs to sound a little like Maxime Bernier and the People's Party of Canada.

00:21:45.780 Because if they're not afraid to tackle these issues, they know they're not going to win this next election.

00:21:51.840 And maybe that has something to do with the fact that they have a lot more courage and bravery to talk about issues that peer polio doesn't.

00:21:58.940 But if only the Conservative Party of Canada would realize that it shouldn't be a question of courage or bravery.

00:22:07.340 It should be a question of common sense to talk about so many of these issues that matter to conservative voters.

00:22:14.220 And it matters to common sense voters.

00:22:16.040 Talk about freedom of speech in Canada.

00:22:17.680 How the Liberals tried to destroy it in a few short months for surveillance censorship bills in front of Parliament.

00:22:26.340 That was the focus of the Mark Carney government.

00:22:28.720 Not getting a deal, a trade deal with the United States.

00:22:31.560 That was the last thing on Mark Carney's mind.

00:22:33.500 He did everything possible to sabotage it, along with Doug Ford of Ontario.

00:22:38.560 Mark Carney worked very hard on censorship and surveillance bills.

00:22:43.020 And that's the only legacy he has since winning the April 28th federal election.

00:22:49.940 That's what conservative voters and that's what common sense voters on all sides of the spectrum need to be reminded of.

00:22:57.180 This is a Carney government that wants to shut your mouth and put you in jail for saying things they disagree with.

00:23:04.320 Anyway, great question from Vassie.

00:23:06.860 I think she put Tim Hodgson.

00:23:08.340 She nailed him to the wall. 0.95

00:23:09.440 She put him in his place.

00:23:11.180 Here's peer polio talking to, I think, all of the least favorite journalists of all of us who call ourselves principled conservatives.

00:23:21.400 Rosemary Barton is clearly has always been in the pocket of the Liberals.

00:23:25.800 She talks that way.

00:23:26.700 She really loathes peer polio.

00:23:29.680 But here's, I think polio does a great job of fencing with her here.

00:23:34.940 Like everywhere Mark Carney goes, with these grand meetings and photo ops, we end up with more tariffs.

00:23:42.260 His failures abroad are costing us at home.

00:23:44.600 He met with the Chinese president, you know, and they made a decision that their officials were going to get together and try and solve the trade irritants.

00:23:51.220 He is trying to make some progress.

00:23:53.500 No, you don't see those things as a bit of progress.

00:23:55.520 What progress?

00:23:56.820 Can you name one tariff line that he's reduced abroad?

00:24:00.060 Not at this stage, no.

00:24:01.280 Not one.

00:24:01.900 He said seven months.

00:24:02.900 So what would you like to see him do then?

00:24:05.660 What do you think is the missing piece here?

00:24:07.840 Keep his promise.

00:24:08.760 Yeah, but how?

00:24:10.220 It's easy to say that.

00:24:11.380 It's the how that's difficult.

00:24:13.000 Well, the how.

00:24:13.840 I said that I would face President Trump and the rest of the world from a position of strength.

00:24:18.760 Right now we're in a position of weakness.

00:24:20.620 The Americans know we can't sell our goods to anyone else because we don't have pipelines and LNG plants to get our most valuable export to other markets.

00:24:28.680 I would pass the Canadian Sovereignty Act, which would rapidly greenlight and legalize pipelines, LNG plants, and other infrastructure.

00:24:37.740 Well, the government is doing some of that.

00:24:39.260 There's an LNG plant that's happening.

00:24:41.740 There's a group by Stephen Harper.

00:24:43.620 Well, there's an expansion of it.

00:24:45.620 There's an expansion.

00:24:46.080 Right.

00:24:46.260 And the Major Projects Office, it does allow them to get around laws and regulations.

00:24:51.320 You know, that's the goal of it.

00:24:52.640 That's the goal.

00:24:53.320 We're seven months in and the clock is ticking.

00:24:56.160 I think we've been through enough goal setting and now it's time for results achieved and we're not getting any results.

00:25:03.540 Mr. Carney won't even tell us if he supports an oil pipeline to the Pacific.

00:25:08.640 His energy minister says it's just too hypothetical.

00:25:12.140 What do you mean hypothetical?

00:25:12.900 We had a project that was approved prior to the Liberals taking office.

00:25:17.460 So here we are with no progress on expanding our resources or getting things done.

00:25:22.480 It's all very good that he's setting up these offices and agencies in Ottawa, but I've got news for him.

00:25:27.720 We're not going to make our economy economically independent by setting up new bureaucracies in Ottawa.

00:25:32.340 I want to ask you about leadership because I know that it's probably on your mind.

00:25:35.940 You have a leadership review coming up in January.

00:25:39.040 How confident are you that you will be okay, that you will survive that vote?

00:25:43.440 Very.

00:25:44.040 Yeah. Why? What makes you confident?

00:25:45.780 Well, because I'm going to focus on doing my job.

00:25:47.900 And people say, well, are you going to get distracted with this?

00:25:50.180 And the answer is no, because the same thing I have to do in January is what I have to do on Election Day, which is to do a good job.

00:25:55.120 Yeah.

00:25:55.260 And that means doing what I was sent here to do by the record 8.3 million people who voted for us, which is to fight for an affordable life, fight for our young people to be able to afford homes, fight for parents to be able to have safe streets for their kids to grow up on.

00:26:09.820 And that's the job I'm doing.

00:26:11.800 And that's why I believe I'll win the support of both the party and the country.

00:26:15.700 And you think that the party will be willing to give you a second chance?

00:26:18.980 Because the last time they did that was Stephen Harper.

00:26:21.540 And look how that turned out.

00:26:22.280 Yeah, that's right.

00:26:22.680 For 10 years, so I'm glad you pointed that one out.

00:26:25.860 Do you think that they'll be willing to give you a second chance, Mr. Polio?

00:26:28.900 I think so.

00:26:29.540 I'm fighting for the things that our party and our country need.

00:26:32.700 And the great thing about our party is we're united around the things that we believe in and are fighting for.

00:26:37.040 We want balanced budgets and low taxes so people can afford good lives.

00:26:41.240 We want to lock up criminals so that our people are safe.

00:26:44.300 We want to get immigration and borders back under control. 1.00

00:26:47.920 We want a common Canadian identity that unites us all.

00:26:50.700 We want to bring back the promise of this country.

00:26:52.980 That anyone who works hard gets a great life.

00:26:55.420 And so the great thing I have, the benefit I have, is a party whose values and interests are aligned with the country's.

00:27:01.120 And that's why I think both January and the next election will go in the right direction.

00:27:05.880 Listen, really appreciate you coming in today.

00:27:07.400 Thank you for having me.

00:27:07.860 Thank you so much for your time.

00:27:09.320 Thank you.

00:27:11.940 I want to play another segment from that interview.

00:27:13.920 I think this is a very spirited defense of the use of the notwithstanding clause.

00:27:18.920 In this case, to overturn what the Supreme Court has recently said about possession of child pornography.

00:27:26.440 They said they've struck down the mandatory minimum one year sentence.

00:27:32.800 Now, pure poly of it always takes courage to say that notwithstanding clause should be used because according to the liberal media, it's in the Constitution.

00:27:43.540 It's Section 33 of the Constitution, but don't ever use it.

00:27:47.100 Provinces shouldn't use it.

00:27:48.220 The federal government should never use it.

00:27:49.560 It's there, but don't ever use it.

00:27:51.680 Because somehow the courts are more democratic than the House of Commons or provincial legislatures. 1.00

00:27:56.720 This is, of course, absolute idiocy. 0.98

00:27:59.180 There's nothing democratic about the Supreme Court. 1.00

00:28:02.480 They do not listen to the people.

00:28:05.020 They are not obliged to listen to the people.

00:28:07.080 They do whatever the hell they want.

00:28:08.800 They impose their ideology, and they're all liberals.

00:28:12.980 Stephen Harper did not appoint a single principled conservative during nine years.

00:28:18.000 It wasn't 10.

00:28:18.660 It was nine years.

00:28:19.640 Nine years as prime minister.

00:28:22.380 Kept on putting liberals in that court, and so did Justin Trudeau.

00:28:26.720 So, which brings us, of course, to what decision they're going to make Thursday morning, but we'll get to that in a minute.

00:28:33.000 But here is Peter Polley making a very spirited defense of the use of the notwithstanding clause.

00:28:39.540 This ruling is wrongheaded, and I would oppose the ruling, and I would use the notwithstanding clause to overturn it.

00:28:46.940 And my future government will introduce mandatory prison sentences for possession of child pornography

00:28:52.220 so that dirtbags like this go away for a very long time.

00:28:54.940 Some of the reasoning from the justices was that they could see a scenario where two 18-year-olds exchange images

00:29:03.180 and then have a mandatory minimum imposed on them.

00:29:07.380 I don't know what you make of that reasoning.

00:29:10.640 I think the Supreme Court needs to get away from these imaginary scenarios.

00:29:14.500 The scenario before them was two men in possession over a long period of time

00:29:19.480 of hundreds of images and videos that were made by torturing innocent children.

00:29:25.020 And with those facts in front of them, their conclusion actually should have been that the sentence should have been met much more

00:29:32.280 than the one year and nine months that the two dirtbag offenders received.

00:29:36.360 They should go away for a very long time. 0.71

00:29:38.120 Frankly, if I had my way as a father, I would lock them up and throw away the key.

00:29:41.920 That, of course, is how Peter Polly has to talk during any upcoming federal election. 1.00

00:29:53.860 Now, I want to turn for a minute here to the ostrich farm.

00:30:00.420 We always do a little bit about the ostrich farm because we're down to the last few days, potentially.

00:30:07.160 And I'll have more to say about that in a minute.

00:30:11.700 But I want to show this.

00:30:19.100 There are 291 days, herd immunity ostriches that deserve the right to live, and the world is watching. 0.88

00:30:27.160 It's been a strong tagline and has become very popular.

00:30:30.940 And I'm grateful for that because I believe that every day that goes on,

00:30:36.200 the more people across the world are watching.

00:30:39.120 39 days since the ostriches have been in the Care of Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

00:30:46.660 And five days until we have the Supreme Court decision of the fate of all of this life sitting on our farm.

00:30:58.180 So let's go for a walk.

00:31:00.020 Here we are.

00:31:01.160 It's headed down the laneway.

00:31:02.280 Um, so a few things.

00:31:05.040 The feeding.

00:31:05.920 They have moved a few of those big square alfalfa bales in and are feeding some of that out.

00:31:12.640 Um, we are going to continue to find out exactly how and where and monitor how much grain is going out

00:31:18.740 as we still witness today them standing on the back of the feed truck just dumping it out of the feed truck.

00:31:24.580 The 31st yesterday was the last day of my mom and I's undertakings from getting arrested just against my mom and I.

00:31:35.240 But our, um, undertakings, which means our ability to go across, uh, in the quarantine area is now we can go across.

00:31:45.480 Okay.

00:31:49.960 Okay.

00:31:52.640 November 6th, Thursday.

00:31:56.900 Supreme Court will announce at 945 Eastern time its decision on whether to allow an appeal to be heard from Universal Ostrich Harms.

00:32:07.180 That's not a lot of time.

00:32:09.620 And, of course, tomorrow there's a budget.

00:32:12.880 One of the biggest days, probably the biggest day in the House of Commons calendar.

00:32:17.780 Having worked on the Hill for many years, I've covered many, many budgets.

00:32:22.620 Not just as a journalist, but as a Hill staffer.

00:32:26.460 And I tell you that all the time.

00:32:27.820 Yes, I was a Hill staffer.

00:32:29.800 And, yes, I towed the line politically.

00:32:32.720 That's why I'm an independent journalist today.

00:32:35.020 I don't tow the line.

00:32:37.180 I will criticize whomever I think needs to be criticized.

00:32:42.160 But right now, Katie needs to do a little bit more than walking around the farm talking about how things have gone for the past few weeks.

00:32:51.040 She needs to fight harder in terms of saying the farm has issued a notice to the RCMP that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been illegally occupying their farm since September 24th.

00:33:06.040 And they need to get the hell off of their farm.

00:33:09.860 That has to be day in, day out.

00:33:12.260 If they really want some change in the next 48, 72 hours, they need to do that.

00:33:18.700 They also need to appeal directly to the minister about how this is going to be politically catastrophic.

00:33:26.940 Because that's the only language politicians understand.

00:33:32.760 They don't care about unity.

00:33:34.340 They don't care about goodwill.

00:33:36.720 They don't care about what's right and wrong.

00:33:39.220 They don't care who's morally right.

00:33:41.500 All they care is who's politically right.

00:33:43.780 And that's what Katie and her mom have to do.

00:33:47.940 I've reached out to Karen Espersen to have her on the show Thursday.

00:33:52.860 Hopefully, Katie will be there, too.

00:33:54.340 I don't know.

00:33:55.880 To talk about the decision.

00:33:58.080 Now, what's going to happen on Thursday morning?

00:34:02.080 Supreme Court could say we're not hearing the appeal.

00:34:05.680 We'll get to what that means in a second or a minute.

00:34:11.120 The Supreme Court said we are going to hear the appeal.

00:34:13.840 That will give the farm untold months to continue to build goodwill, to move public opinion, if, in fact, it needs to be moved much further,

00:34:25.360 but to continue to get the word out about how their research has been fantastic, how these birds are healthy, have no reason to call them,

00:34:36.020 how the CFIA has time and time again refused to test them, it refuses to count them,

00:34:41.940 how this farm has provided research that is not just valuable for ostriches and birds, but for humankind.

00:34:50.000 This farm has done invaluable research.

00:34:52.560 CFIA knows that.

00:34:53.580 They put an update out last, on Halloween, they put an update out saying the research is really not that important.

00:35:02.340 That's absolute BS. 0.99

00:35:05.680 That's rubbish. 0.95

00:35:07.380 CFIA knows that and CFIA probably wants that research. 0.97

00:35:11.420 This is one of the motivators for this hellish government agency.

00:35:16.960 As I said, I've been pointing out what they've been up to in the wee small hours of the morning,

00:35:21.360 what they could be up to in terms of why are they bringing in these weird machines?

00:35:27.320 Why are people hearing blending noises?

00:35:29.240 Why are people hearing grinding noises?

00:35:31.580 CFIA responded to that by simply saying, we are not liquefying birds.

00:35:39.120 If they really thought that was an outrageous accusation,

00:35:45.620 they would not even have responded to it.

00:35:49.400 The fact they responded to that accusation tells me that there must be some substance to it.

00:35:57.480 And I believe that.

00:35:59.680 I believe that.

00:36:02.340 So we'll see what happens.

00:36:04.700 They have 72 hours.

00:36:06.960 Now, if the CFIA is allowed to slaughter this herd of ostriches by the Supreme Court on Thursday,

00:36:18.520 how soon do you think that's going to happen?

00:36:22.020 Well, if an election is imminent, the CFIA, I predict,

00:36:27.300 will try to execute that order immediately

00:36:32.360 because they don't want this to become a political embarrassment

00:36:37.500 for the liberal carny government during the election campaign.

00:36:44.400 What can the farm do?

00:36:48.620 Legally, very nothing.

00:36:50.740 Very, very little.

00:36:51.820 Well, absolutely nothing, actually, legally.

00:36:54.560 They've expired.

00:36:55.920 They would have expired their last possible option.

00:37:00.740 But they could exercise passive resistance.

00:37:05.240 Easy for me to say, I'm not at the farm.

00:37:08.300 And yes, people would get arrested.

00:37:10.960 But I think it would raise the profile of this fight,

00:37:14.500 of the injustice of what this farm has experienced, 0.96

00:37:17.740 of the idiocy of what the CFIA is imposing, 0.97

00:37:22.120 what the government is imposing on this farm, 0.99

00:37:23.900 of the absolute disgrace of a government that has no respect for private property rights,

00:37:31.440 no time for farmers,

00:37:33.400 and no comprehension of what real freedom and democracy is in this country.

00:37:41.760 That would give them the opportunity to get those messages home even further,

00:37:47.000 to drive those messages home.

00:37:49.720 Because believe me,

00:37:50.900 this government does not respect private property.

00:37:55.960 It is in the hands of globalists.

00:37:58.780 It pursues a globalist agenda.

00:38:00.900 And the irony of it all is,

00:38:02.380 is that the globalist regulations they're following are not even consistent with what the CFIA is doing.

00:38:09.560 The CFIA has gone two or three steps farther than even the World Organization for Animal Health

00:38:16.380 and the World Health Organization is dictating.

00:38:19.800 They're going farther.

00:38:21.380 The United States is going in the other direction.

00:38:24.120 Our chief trading partner is going in the other direction.

00:38:26.860 It's not engaging in mass slaughter of animals.

00:38:31.500 It's not engaging in the so-called stamping out policy.

00:38:36.920 It's stopped doing that.

00:38:39.720 It is exercising a rational response to any sort of outbreak of disease.

00:38:49.740 They're using quarantines.

00:38:52.080 If animals develop herd immunity, that's okay.

00:38:57.360 But Canada?

00:38:59.300 Canada is hell-bent.

00:39:01.500 On this destructive policy.

00:39:03.740 And Mark Carney is hell-bent.

00:39:06.540 So, time is precious right now.

00:39:09.660 I don't know what the verdict is going to be on Thursday morning.

00:39:14.140 I suspect, given the Supreme Court, the probability is not good.

00:39:19.800 It's going to be a positive one for the farm.

00:39:22.000 But I don't know.

00:39:23.000 Let's wait and see.

00:39:24.240 And let's wait and see how the farm responds.

00:39:27.720 What should be the response?

00:39:29.800 Because I predict, if the Supreme Court says no, this is going to galvanize Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

00:39:41.160 Freedom-loving Canadians who will come to that farm and say, this is our stand for freedom in this country.

00:39:48.580 This is our stand against totalitarian Marxist-kearney government.

00:39:53.220 This will be a huge motivator for Canadians who love freedom.

00:39:58.960 And who knows, we could be in the midst of an election campaign at the same time.

00:40:04.520 And where do you think that energy could go to a politician who says, I embrace what's happening at this farm.

00:40:14.380 Not from the perspective of the CFIA, but from the perspective of the Universal Ostrich Farms.

00:40:21.940 I embrace this fight for freedom.

00:40:23.900 I embrace this fight for justice.

00:40:25.620 I embrace what has been going on here to stop the government's dissolution of private property rights, which I know aren't in the Constitution.

00:40:36.860 They damn well better get there.

00:40:38.420 And I reject the government's war on agriculture, war on farmers, and war on private property and livestock and livelihood.

00:40:53.140 That's what this battle has been about since day one.

00:40:58.360 And this is why I've been fighting.

00:40:59.780 I've not pretended that I have been objective about this story any more than I was objective about the Freedom Convoy.

00:41:07.420 I thought it was a moral choice to make.

00:41:12.300 I supported the underdog in both cases.

00:41:15.680 I knew they were going up against the full power of the state.

00:41:19.600 And the state would fight back.

00:41:21.740 And the state would try to crush this opposition.

00:41:25.580 And they did it to the Freedom Convoy with the Emergencies Act.

00:41:28.640 They're doing it right now by intimidation and terrorism and harassment by the full force of the federal government.

00:41:40.740 And this, my friends, has to stop.

00:41:42.940 And that's why I don't pretend to be objective about this story.

00:41:46.460 I think it is another example of Canada's freedom being taken away by a ravenous government that doesn't give a damn about your rights or mine.

00:42:03.540 We'll revisit this again tomorrow.

00:42:05.940 Budget day tomorrow.

00:42:07.120 Tell me in your comments if you think I should do a live stream on the budget.

00:42:12.060 I don't know.

00:42:14.200 Every year, is it worth it?

00:42:16.100 Is it worthwhile?

00:42:17.660 Do you really want?

00:42:19.600 Is it really necessary to hear my commentary about the budget?

00:42:22.280 Because you're all feeling the same thing.

00:42:23.900 I know.

00:42:25.180 But this could be a budget that is polarizing and that really affects the popularity of the Marxist-Karney government.

00:42:34.140 So we'll all be watching one way or the other, whether I live stream it or don't live stream it.

00:42:40.460 We need to watch this budget tomorrow because it could lead to another federal election.

00:42:46.100 And my friends, that's the only way we're going to stop the surveillance and censorship bills in front of parliament.

00:42:52.140 Because they will pass with the NDP support.

00:42:55.420 Because the NDP no longer respects or loves freedom of speech.

00:43:00.700 It despises freedom of speech just as much as Mark Carney and the Liberal Caucus does.

00:43:06.680 So we'll see what happens.

00:43:08.320 Thanks for watching today, folks.

00:43:10.540 God bless.

00:43:11.220 We'll see you tomorrow.

00:43:11.920 We'll see you tomorrow.
