00:00:01.000 Why did your dad give everyone in Western Canada the middle finger?
00:00:07.900 Why indeed?
00:00:09.500 Well, we're going to find out in a minute what this is all about,
00:00:12.460 because we had another middle finger today from another liberal.
00:00:18.080 So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:22.300 We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:30.000 Hi, welcome back.
00:00:39.040 I'm David Creighton, the host, stand on guard.
00:00:41.800 You're watching the Creighton's Right channel.
00:00:43.700 I had a big vote in the House of Commons today, right after question period.
00:00:47.580 A lot of you, I'm sure, were watching.
00:00:49.760 I did the broadcast live during question period,
00:00:52.700 waited until this big vote on the carbon tax pause.
00:00:57.800 It wasn't another act, the tax vote, as some people were saying.
00:01:03.320 But it was a vote to expand Trudeau's three-year carbon tax exemption
00:01:09.500 to more than just home heating oil and include natural gas and propane.
00:01:15.280 So the rest of the country can at least get a little bit of relief.
00:01:18.960 Now, this was a conservative motion introduced by opposition leader Pierre Polyev.
00:01:23.700 And as expected, it didn't pass.
00:01:28.700 But there were some really unexpected things happened today,
00:01:32.320 and we're going to watch what that was right now.
00:01:35.700 Mr. Johari.
00:01:37.500 Mr. Johari.
00:01:39.100 Mr. Long.
00:01:40.220 Mr. Long.
00:01:41.400 Mr. Longfield.
00:01:43.020 Mr. McDonald Avalon.
00:01:45.580 Mr. Morrissey.
00:01:46.980 Now, you see the guy being circled there.
00:01:53.900 That's Ken McDonald, the liberal MP from Newfoundland, technically Avalon.
00:02:04.040 Now, ironically, Ken McDonald has voted with the conservatives
00:02:07.460 on two other occasions to axe the carbon tax.
00:02:10.000 But it looks like Mr. McDonald got what he wanted from Justin Trudeau
00:02:15.620 when Trudeau exempted Atlantic Canada from the carbon tax,
00:02:21.380 as far as home heating oil goes.
00:02:25.880 And there was talk that the conservatives were asking
00:02:29.340 Ken McDonald to cross the floor to the conservative side.
00:02:33.780 And it looks like McDonald gave his answer today.
00:02:37.360 He gave the finger.
00:02:38.920 It certainly looks that way to me in this picture, doesn't it, to you?
00:02:43.380 And I think that's indicative of how this government really feels about things.
00:02:50.680 So, I don't know what...
00:02:55.920 Here, it says, here we go in slow motion here.
00:02:58.780 Yeah, can't, can't deny it.
00:03:03.280 Can't deny it.
00:03:04.340 In fact, we can, let's even back it up a bit.
00:03:07.480 Let's see it again.
00:03:08.920 Let's see it again.
00:03:11.720 Yeah.
00:03:12.920 Yeah.
00:03:13.320 Yeah.
00:03:13.720 It certainly looks like he's giving Canadians the finger,
00:03:17.840 as the opposition House leaders said immediately after the vote,
00:03:24.800 that the member from Avalon was giving everybody the finger,
00:03:31.520 and Canadians the finger.
00:03:32.860 So, this motion was to extend the pause to all home heating.
00:03:39.260 Voting period has ended.
00:03:40.500 Voting period has ended.
00:03:41.540 The dipty no.
00:03:42.060 The aes 4, 135, 155.
00:03:44.900 Nays count, 186, 156.
00:03:47.220 I declare the motion defeated.
00:03:51.060 Rising on a point of order.
00:03:52.940 The report, I recognize the honorable house leader.
00:03:55.780 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:03:57.300 We just had a very important vote to Canadians.
00:04:01.000 And the member from Avalon literally gave the finger to those Canadians as he stood to vote for our motion,
00:04:10.960 which was to give them a break and a reprieve on home heating costs.
00:04:14.840 He gave the finger to the senior choosing between heating and eating.
00:04:21.160 He gave the finger to all those struggling to make ends meet in an unaffordable Canada.
00:04:27.880 He gave the finger to all Canadians.
00:04:32.680 The speaker shut it right down there, didn't he?
00:04:36.440 Yes, Mr. Speaker.
00:04:37.920 We'll rise on the same.
00:04:38.860 Yeah, and here's Ken McDonald's about to rise and explain himself.
00:04:44.780 Point of order.
00:04:45.560 I scratched the side of my head with two fingers.
00:04:48.600 So if they think it's one finger, that's up to them.
00:04:50.860 They can take it how they like.
00:04:52.940 You're the honorable.
00:04:55.220 Now, do you believe that?
00:04:56.900 I find that hard to believe.
00:05:00.640 As they used to say, get smart.
00:05:02.580 Would you believe I was just scratching my head with two fingers?
00:05:07.140 No, I don't think so.
00:05:08.860 I'm placed in a very difficult situation here.
00:05:16.780 If honorable colleagues will allow me to take a look at this issue,
00:05:24.020 but let me just say this.
00:05:25.240 When members are often offered an opportunity to explain their actions,
00:05:30.400 and they do, usually the matter is closed.
00:05:33.460 This has raised some disorder in the House.
00:05:36.480 I will take a look at that.
00:05:37.740 And if necessary, I will come back to the House.
00:05:40.300 But I hope that this will be the end of the points of order on this particular issue.
00:05:45.860 Yes, and the speaker certainly hopes this will be the end of the issue.
00:05:54.020 This is a disaster of a speaker, by the way, who is the most partisan speaker I've ever seen.
00:05:59.540 And it's noteworthy as well.
00:06:01.120 It's six premiers now are standing up to Trudeau and saying,
00:06:04.640 No, you can't just give Atlantic Canada the pause, the exemption from the carbon tax and ignore the rest of Canada for the population is for goodness sake. 0.98
00:06:18.140 But six premiers now, B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and New Brunswick are all saying enough of this crap, this BS, Trudeau. 0.95
00:06:32.040 And Trudeau is just absolutely encircled by political opponents now, by his political foes. 0.99
00:06:40.320 And the dominoes are falling.
00:06:42.280 Once he admitted the carbon tax really wasn't about stopping catastrophic climate change,
00:06:49.140 he opened the door to everything else falling in on him.
00:06:54.180 And that's exactly what's happened, because he's admitted it's got nothing to do, really, with Canada's global footprint,
00:07:02.060 which remains at 1.4, 1.5 percent, which is insignificant in the larger realm, in the aggregate.
00:07:11.680 It is insignificant.
00:07:12.720 So, you know, that is what we are up against here, is a prime minister who is essentially against everything now.
00:07:27.180 Now, why is this significant beyond today, historically?
00:07:32.980 Because Justin Trudeau's father was well known for giving the finger.
00:07:39.400 At a train stop in British Columbia, he gave the finger to protesters outside of his train window.
00:07:50.620 And it was very well remembered.
00:07:53.240 People remember this.
00:07:55.740 And certainly if you went through that campaign, Trudeau was at the nadir of his popularity at that point.
00:08:02.620 And it was a very trying time economically for Canada.
00:08:08.060 Huge interest rates.
00:08:10.760 And this topic came up at a session when Trudeau was addressing a school in Calgary.
00:08:20.880 Leave it to the kids in Calgary.
00:08:22.480 They remembered this.
00:08:23.660 The parents had told them about the time the elder Trudeau had gave his finger,
00:08:29.440 not only to British Columbia, but to the entire West.
00:08:32.860 He really wasn't too positive about Western power and the emergence of the West as a real kingmaker in Canadian politics.
00:08:44.440 So he was asked about this by one of the children.
00:08:46.600 Did your dad give everyone in Western Canada the middle finger?
00:08:50.280 Okay.
00:08:53.540 Okay.
00:08:54.700 First question.
00:08:55.980 What's my favourite spot in Canada?
00:08:57.640 San Bernard, B.C.?
00:08:58.700 My father had an approach to politics that not everyone agreed with.
00:09:04.560 And no matter how nice and good and smart any politician is,
00:09:08.180 there's always going to be people who disagree with some of the decisions.
00:09:11.700 Because really, in politics, you do have to make big decisions.
00:09:16.400 And whenever you make big decisions, there's going to be people who agree with it
00:09:19.440 and people who don't disagree with it.
00:09:23.380 That's for sure.
00:09:24.860 There's going to be people who disagree with it.
00:09:27.180 And let me tell you, Trudeau made a big decision to put a pause on the carbon tax,
00:09:34.520 but not other provinces and other parts of Canada are going to benefit from that decision.
00:09:39.180 That was a bad decision. 1.00
00:09:41.320 And apparently a Liberal MP today made a very stupid decision 1.00
00:09:45.160 to make this really personal by doing this. 0.99
00:09:50.000 And this was really something that is inexplicable.
00:09:53.780 Why would he do this?
00:09:55.120 Especially since he supported conservative initiatives in the carbon tax in the past.
00:09:59.400 It's not clear what was going on in his mind, why he did this.
00:10:03.720 But this whole scenario is unraveling for the Trudeau government and for Justin Trudeau.
00:10:10.020 Let's hear what Pierre Pauly has to say about it.
00:10:11.960 What I learned is that he's now got a new carbon tax coalition
00:10:16.620 with the separatists to divide our country.
00:10:20.680 Given that the NDP was forced to flip-flop on Trudeau's plan to quadruple the tax,
00:10:26.080 he had to find a new partner to keep him in power
00:10:28.160 and avoid this non-confidence vote from passing.
00:10:30.960 And who was there to save him?
00:10:32.200 The separatists.
00:10:33.660 He's now signed on with the separatists to divide Canadians into two separate classes.
00:10:38.660 Those who will have to pay carbon tax on their home heat
00:10:41.540 and a small minority who will get a pause from the pain.
00:10:47.460 All of Trudeau's MPs sold out their constituents
00:10:52.780 and voted to make their home heating more expensive.
00:10:57.700 Trudeau and his costly MPs have divided our country,
00:11:04.400 raised our taxes, and pushed our people out into the cold.
00:11:11.300 Out into the cold.
00:11:12.920 But what's more ominous here is Mr. Pauly's assertion
00:11:17.800 that what is behind today's vote
00:11:20.900 and the fact that the Bloc supported the Liberals,
00:11:23.800 the NDP did not.
00:11:25.300 They sided with the Conservatives
00:11:26.820 because they really seem to see some political danger in the carbon tax.
00:11:31.200 The Bloc apparently doesn't.
00:11:33.440 They voted with the government against the Conservative motion.
00:11:36.740 And Pauly and others are saying that Trudeau
00:11:41.620 cooked up a deal with the separatists
00:11:44.440 to guarantee their support not only on today's motion
00:11:47.640 but for the next two years.
00:11:49.440 That the Bloc will guarantee their ascendancy. 0.97
00:11:52.420 It will guarantee that they stay in power
00:11:54.580 if the NDP doesn't.
00:11:58.200 Now this is significant.
00:11:59.800 We have a Federalist government
00:12:01.540 being propped up by separatists.
00:12:04.520 Even Justin Trudeau's father would have found that abhorrent
00:12:09.460 because the one thing he was consistent about
00:12:12.400 during his entire life and career
00:12:15.080 was a dedication to Federalism
00:12:18.700 and an opposition to Quebec separatism.
00:12:21.600 We might not agree with the mechanisms he used
00:12:25.240 to keep Federalism going
00:12:27.360 including an obsession with official bilingualism
00:12:31.520 and official biculturalism.
00:12:32.940 But he did believe in one Canada
00:12:35.560 a United Canada
00:12:36.580 and did not believe
00:12:37.880 and did not support separatists.
00:12:40.580 Justin Trudeau is so ravenously hungry
00:12:43.640 for power
00:12:44.500 that he will accept
00:12:46.320 and he will
00:12:47.360 go out of his way
00:12:49.620 to seek
00:12:51.220 the support of separatists
00:12:52.940 to keep his government in power. 0.91
00:12:54.380 And that really is disgusting.
00:12:56.500 Not just for what happened today
00:12:58.600 but if they prop up this government
00:13:00.820 against the will of Canadians 0.93
00:13:03.400 it is an absolute disgrace.
00:13:06.320 And you have to wonder
00:13:07.140 what this country is coming to
00:13:08.440 when a block of separatists 0.96
00:13:10.000 a bunch of blockheads
00:13:11.320 can prop up an unpopular
00:13:13.980 authoritarian
00:13:15.100 dictatorial
00:13:16.500 liberal Trudeau government
00:13:18.620 because this is unacceptable.
00:13:21.940 And if this is what happened today
00:13:23.180 my God
00:13:24.600 help us
00:13:25.660 we need it.
00:13:28.100 Anyway
00:13:28.660 that's the latest
00:13:29.400 from Parliament Hill.
00:13:30.940 Hope you've enjoyed
00:13:31.760 the drama today.
00:13:33.160 But believe me
00:13:33.780 this is by no means
00:13:35.340 by no means
00:13:36.520 the end
00:13:37.440 of the carbon tax debate.
00:13:39.340 And this will continue
00:13:40.540 to unravel
00:13:41.240 for Justin Trudeau
00:13:42.560 as he is unable
00:13:43.920 to contain
00:13:45.060 this
00:13:45.680 catastrophe
00:13:46.720 and this
00:13:47.920 political
00:13:48.760 and communications
00:13:49.940 disaster.
00:13:51.280 It will continue.
00:13:52.540 So please support
00:13:53.480 the station
00:13:54.140 ring that bell
00:13:55.680 and like us.
00:13:58.440 And we will continue.
00:13:59.980 We'll be back tomorrow
00:14:01.200 with an interview
00:14:02.640 with the former
00:14:04.140 Agriculture Minister
00:14:05.300 Jerry Ritz
00:14:06.040 to talk about
00:14:07.240 how Trudeau
00:14:07.980 is starving us
00:14:09.220 and freezing us out.
00:14:11.680 Thanks for watching today.
00:14:13.900 I'm your host
00:14:14.480 David Graydon
00:14:15.140 and you've been
00:14:16.040 watching Stand on Guard.
