00:00:00.000 I'll come back to another episode of Stand on Guard.
00:00:05.480 I'm your host, David Creighton.
00:00:07.380 Oh, so much happening.
00:00:09.580 We're still going.
00:00:11.100 The world is still going.
00:00:12.520 When we come back, obviously, the big news yesterday, Donald Trump's tariffs and the
00:00:20.720 competing reactions of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the one hand and Pierre Polyev
00:00:30.640 on the other, as well as the competing actions of two premiers, Daniel Smith versus Doug Ford.
00:00:40.800 Interesting stuff.
00:00:42.680 Let's get started in a minute.
00:00:47.240 So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:51.460 We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:01:09.880 Yes, Sasha the cat always said, please like the station.
00:01:14.840 We're really getting short of subscribers.
00:01:16.720 Thank you for people who came up to support yesterday.
00:01:18.860 We need to keep the subscribers going or YouTube suppresses everything I do.
00:01:24.040 It's a daily battle because, as I always say, you want to giggle at clips.
00:01:30.980 YouTube loves that.
00:01:32.600 You want to talk about issues like immigration, about nuclear war, not too loud, about the dangers
00:01:41.020 that this country faces, that this country faces policy-wise.
00:01:46.200 YouTube doesn't want to talk about that.
00:01:48.520 So what I want to talk about today is what Donald Trump said in the competing reactions here.
00:01:56.260 I was absolutely, well, not shocked, but somewhat surprised. 0.88
00:02:01.800 Justin Trudeau looked like he just had the crap beaten out of him after he spoke to Donald 0.98
00:02:09.280 Trump. 0.96
00:02:10.220 This is so interesting.
00:02:13.060 You can just see he's shaking, almost literally shaking.
00:02:16.720 This is hours after the phone call.
00:02:19.080 Now, he has this impromptu news conference very early yesterday.
00:02:25.340 And he says, yes, I spoke to Donald Trump.
00:02:27.260 But just watch this clip and watch how Paul he is, really responsible, different.
00:02:33.260 We'll get to that in a minute, though.
00:02:34.940 We talked about laying out the facts, talking about how the intense and effective connections
00:02:43.000 between our two countries flow back and forth.
00:02:45.680 We talked about some of the challenges that we can work on together.
00:02:49.120 It was a good call.
00:02:50.140 It's it's this is something that we can do, laying out the facts, moving forward in constructive
00:02:59.140 ways.
00:03:00.520 This is a relationship that we know takes a certain amount of working on, and that's what
00:03:04.540 we'll do.
00:03:07.040 One of the really important things is that we be all pulling together on this.
00:03:10.480 The Team Canada approach is what works.
00:03:12.960 That's where putting aside partisanship, that's where I reached out immediately to Doug Ford
00:03:18.520 to agree with him that we would have a First Minister's meeting this week to talk about the
00:03:23.660 United States, talk with Francois Legault and some other premiers as well.
00:03:29.000 There's work to do, but we know how to do it.
00:03:35.660 Work to do, but we know how to do it.
00:03:37.600 This is a announcement, if you will, that is a bunch of talking points pasted together.
00:03:48.080 Pulling together.
00:03:49.220 We have work to do.
00:03:50.760 Really good call.
00:03:53.180 Team Canada.
00:03:56.000 Pulling up.
00:03:56.480 He didn't say pulling up our sleeves.
00:03:57.840 Lots of challenges.
00:03:59.860 Said absolutely nothing.
00:04:02.400 Absolutely nothing in terms of what he intends to do.
00:04:05.260 It wasn't a really good call for Justin Trudeau.
00:04:08.000 It was a horrible call for Justin Trudeau, because Donald Trump laid down the law.
00:04:12.860 Stop letting human smuggling occur at your border.
00:04:19.060 Stop letting drugs go through. 1.00
00:04:21.360 Now, the idiots at CBC can't figure this out. 1.00
00:04:25.620 What's Trump's price for averting tariffs? 1.00
00:04:28.680 He didn't tell Trudeau.
00:04:30.680 B.S.
00:04:31.720 Of course he told Trudeau.
00:04:32.880 It's obvious to everybody.
00:04:36.220 He wants Canada to tighten up its border.
00:04:39.000 Get an immigration policy that works.
00:04:41.000 Stop letting drugs get through.
00:04:42.780 Stop letting terrorists get through the border.
00:04:45.100 Start being responsible.
00:04:48.300 It's very simple.
00:04:51.840 So Trudeau isn't getting it or isn't admitting he's getting it.
00:04:56.120 He was just as bad in question period yesterday.
00:04:58.500 I'm not going to show the clips because we could go on all day with this.
00:05:01.340 He was just as stuttering.
00:05:03.420 He was just didn't seem to have his perspective.
00:05:07.280 Didn't seem to be able to focus.
00:05:09.800 Was there for about two, four questions.
00:05:13.860 For Polly, you have two in French and two in English.
00:05:16.900 He was not there for the rest of the day.
00:05:19.620 He was visibly shaken.
00:05:21.780 I don't know how else to put this.
00:05:23.120 He looked scared.
00:05:24.900 Like, the jig is up, my friends.
00:05:28.620 And all he can do is paste together a bunch of talking points.
00:05:32.920 They're not even talking points.
00:05:34.180 They're phrases.
00:05:34.800 You know, and it doesn't mean anything.
00:05:38.440 What we can do.
00:05:39.920 Polly, on the other hand, thought about this.
00:05:43.320 He was late for his news conference yesterday.
00:05:45.420 I was covering this yesterday morning.
00:05:47.540 He was late.
00:05:49.040 Reporters were kept waiting for about a half an hour.
00:05:52.480 Drove me crazy that he came out and delivered his speech in French first.
00:05:57.740 First, I'm sorry, this is more relevant in English first.
00:06:03.100 The vast majority of Canadians speak English.
00:06:06.240 English should be, it should have been delivered in English first.
00:06:09.540 However, I'm going to say that because I want to say it.
00:06:14.020 I don't care if that offends diet, you know, people who think Pierre can do no wrong at any time.
00:06:20.100 I'm going to say it was probably the best political speech Pierre Polly has ever delivered.
00:06:27.740 Fantastic speech.
00:06:30.260 When he finally got to the English, I thought, great.
00:06:33.080 Yes, I listened to the French, but I thought a lot of people are going to be turning this off because they're going to get frustrated.
00:06:40.780 But it was a great speech.
00:06:43.740 And Paul Leibb gets it.
00:06:46.980 He understands that Canada's got to change, that the election of Donald Trump meant change for Canada too.
00:06:55.260 Justin Trudeau doesn't get this.
00:06:59.240 He thinks he can still keep playing his game, keep going to Taylor Swift concerts, boogieing away, trading friendship bracelets with little girls.
00:07:08.100 And it's all going to stay the same.
00:07:10.820 Keep pretending he's spending money on national defense when he ain't.
00:07:15.600 Keep the border open.
00:07:17.280 Keep inviting asylum seekers, as they're called, into Canada.
00:07:21.040 Keep inviting the refugees to come here.
00:07:23.660 Keep the open border. 0.65
00:07:24.940 Keep the nonsense going. 1.00
00:07:26.220 Keep the bullshit. 1.00
00:07:27.100 Excuse my language. 1.00
00:07:33.160 There.
00:07:33.860 I've lost my mic for a second.
00:07:35.980 But no, he cannot do that.
00:07:38.500 Anyway, let's listen to Pierre Polly's response.
00:07:40.440 It's fantastic.
00:07:40.820 President Trump yesterday made an unjustified threat of a 25% tariff on our already weak and shrinking economy.
00:07:55.660 Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland were surprised, amazingly.
00:08:01.120 Everyone else knew something like this could be coming because President Trump had been talking about it for years on the campaign trail.
00:08:08.820 Yet 20 days ago, Chrystia Freeland said, don't worry, Canada will be fine.
00:08:15.880 Apparently, neither she nor Justin Trudeau were following what the incoming president was saying.
00:08:21.660 And now, we must take account and we must be honest with our unprecedented weakness.
00:08:28.340 After nine years of Prime Minister Trudeau, our GDP is smaller than it was when he took office.
00:08:36.780 In fact, our per capita GDP has dropped more than any other G7 country since the year before COVID.
00:08:42.620 We have the most indebted households.
00:08:44.680 We've had the worst housing inflation.
00:08:47.080 A quarter of our people are in poverty.
00:08:49.200 Two million people line up in food banks.
00:08:51.140 Food prices have risen 37% faster in Canada than in the United States of America.
00:08:57.520 Our economy is teetering on the brink of collapse.
00:09:02.760 That was the line I used in my story yesterday.
00:09:07.000 That's the key phrase.
00:09:08.540 Canada's economy is teetering on the brink of collapse.
00:09:11.520 Now, we face this renewed threat.
00:09:15.840 We need a plan.
00:09:17.020 A plan to put Canada first on the economy and on security.
00:09:23.520 And, of course, that was the keynote for every question yesterday in the House of Commons.
00:09:31.020 Thank God they've got a slogan that actually makes sense now.
00:09:34.340 Canada first.
00:09:35.500 Not, and I'll say this again, it's not Team Canada.
00:09:39.020 Team Canada is Trudeau's Canada.
00:09:43.400 Canada first is your Canada. 0.51
00:09:45.840 That is the theme I'm trying to build today.
00:09:50.420 Team Canada is a facade.
00:09:53.660 It's an illusion.
00:09:55.720 It is nothing but a talking point.
00:09:58.320 It is Trudeau's way of doing things.
00:10:01.100 Canada first is not about Pierre Pollyve or necessarily just the Conservative Party of Canada.
00:10:07.400 It's about all Canadians.
00:10:09.220 And it's about doing it right.
00:10:10.820 And that is what Pollyve gets. 0.99
00:10:18.100 President Trump, yesterday, Canada will be fine with the account.
00:10:26.560 And we must be honest with our unprecedented weakness.
00:10:30.160 After nine years of Prime Minister Trudeau, our GDP is smaller than it was when he took office.
00:10:38.060 In fact, our per capita GDP has dropped more than any other G7 country since the year before COVID.
00:10:44.420 We have the most indebted households.
00:10:46.560 We've had the worst housing inflation.
00:10:48.900 A quarter of our people are in poverty.
00:10:51.040 Two million people line up in food banks.
00:10:53.400 Food prices have risen 37% faster in Canada than in the United States of America.
00:10:59.160 Our economy is teetering on the brink of collapse.
00:11:03.140 And now we face this renewed threat.
00:11:08.380 We need a plan.
00:11:10.220 A plan to put Canada first on the economy and on security.
00:11:16.060 All right.
00:11:19.880 I thought I had more in that clip.
00:11:21.900 I wanted more in that clip because Pollyve actually says what the plan is. 0.99
00:11:28.480 And it's stop the next increase in the carbon tax.
00:11:32.780 If you can't axe the tax entirely, axe the next increase.
00:11:39.920 Stop the caps on oil and gas production.
00:11:44.960 It's insanity.
00:11:47.620 Start spending some money on national defense.
00:11:50.960 Have a credible...
00:11:51.620 Seal the border.
00:11:54.300 These are all Pollyve's ideas for getting the tariff to disappear.
00:12:01.740 Do something differently.
00:12:04.680 And this is what Pollyve... 1.00
00:12:05.780 This is what Canada first is all about.
00:12:08.040 Now, Doug Ford, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who's hot and cold.
00:12:12.320 He's right, sometimes wrong.
00:12:13.740 Other times he was wrong during the Freedom Convoy.
00:12:16.300 He was wrong on the Emergencies Act.
00:12:18.740 He's wrong on a lot of things because he's a faux conservative many times.
00:12:23.320 He is wrong about this.
00:12:26.120 He thinks retaliating against Donald Trump is going to work.
00:12:29.180 But Canada can't retaliate and expect to win.
00:12:33.120 It's got to get its house in order.
00:12:35.460 Its fiscal house and its security house.
00:12:38.740 Its national security house in order.
00:12:40.880 Daniel Smith, Alberta Premier Daniel Smith, gets this.
00:12:45.700 Listen to this.
00:12:47.880 The Alberta Sovereignty Within United Canada Act was designed to protect our province from unconstitutional interference.
00:12:59.120 And now we're going to use it again.
00:13:00.680 This is brilliant.
00:13:03.720 This is brilliant.
00:13:07.400 We can see this.
00:13:10.560 I'll just read a couple of these.
00:13:12.360 Prohibit a provincial enforcement or implementation of the federal emissions cap.
00:13:17.240 Protect Alberta oil and gas facilities on essential infrastructure under the Critical Infrastructure Defense Act.
00:13:22.320 Restrict unauthorized entry to oil and gas facilities, including by federal officials or contractors.
00:13:28.820 What this means, folks, is that the oil and gas companies don't have to listen to the federal government because the provincial government has usurped that responsibility, making them free to do their business.
00:13:43.160 This is what Daniel Smith has done.
00:13:44.860 I don't know if everybody is getting this.
00:13:47.380 This is what the Alberta Sovereignty Act enables the province to do.
00:13:50.720 To usurp the interference by the federal government so that companies can still do their business under the law.
00:14:00.100 They won't be violating the law.
00:14:02.420 They can continue to produce the amount of natural gas and oil that the world, the country, and the province needs to create.
00:14:11.100 This is essential to understand.
00:14:14.280 Absolutely.
00:14:14.960 These actions could include an immediate constitutional challenge in the courts, a ban on provincial bodies enforcing the cap,
00:14:23.620 labeling oil and gas production facilities as essential infrastructure subject to the Alberta Critical Infrastructure Defense Act,
00:14:32.000 prohibiting the entry of all individuals into these facilities except those licensed to enter by the Alberta government,
00:14:38.680 and declaring all information related to greenhouse gases at these facilities to be owned by Alberta's government with data reported or disclosed at our discretion.
00:14:50.120 This is not a complete list of everything we plan to do, but it's a sign of things to come.
00:14:55.680 It shows how we will respond if the federal government forces us to do so.
00:14:59.740 If the motion passes, we'll act fast to get ready for Ottawa's destructive cap.
00:15:04.220 Albertans expect no less.
00:15:05.460 We'll defend Alberta's prosperity, Alberta's livelihood, and our energy industry.
00:15:10.800 Should Canada be preparing to retaliate at this point?
00:15:13.440 I know we did that last time when he slapped tariffs on steel and aluminum.
00:15:16.900 We had some success with that policy approach.
00:15:19.140 Do you think the federal government should be readying a tariff war?
00:15:23.140 Well, look, let's stop the leaky border first.
00:15:25.460 Let's stop the illegal migration first. 1.00
00:15:27.440 Let's stop the fentanyl first.
00:15:28.960 Let's meet our NATO commitment first.
00:15:31.300 What she's doing here is reiterating point by point and agreeing with point by point with what Paliyev had just said earlier that day.
00:15:44.120 She's saying we need to seal the border, stop the carbon tax, spend some money on defense, do the things that Trump is highlighting, and we don't need a tariff war.
00:15:58.460 We're not going to need to start a trade war with the United States if we get our fiscal and national security house in order.
00:16:06.480 Daniel Smith understands this.
00:16:08.900 She knows the problem is with Canadian policies.
00:16:15.240 It's not with Donald Trump.
00:16:17.680 It's with Canadian policies.
00:16:19.380 And she gets this.
00:16:20.460 Where we get with the Americans.
00:16:22.000 I mean, I think that the U.S. has legitimate issues that they have raised with us, and we've got to address those legitimate issues.
00:16:29.240 I don't think that we can say, yeah, but, because, quite frankly, the American economy is the strongest in the world.
00:16:35.860 They can produce a lot of what they need to consume.
00:16:38.420 We are very reliant on them, and they are in the position of being able to dictate terms.
00:16:45.980 And so I suppose we could punish ourselves with tariffs, but I would say, why don't we take the approach of trying to figure out how to solve the things that are the trade irritants to them?
00:16:54.440 That would be my first step.
00:16:56.340 During the NAFTA renegotiation, Canada was a united front against Trump's tariffs and threats.
00:17:01.480 It does seem like you and Premier Doug Ford are freelancing a bit this time, you know, coming up with your own policy proposals,
00:17:07.960 maybe suggesting ways to appease Trump in some ways.
00:17:11.400 Is there not a risk that this undermines the Team Canada approach?
00:17:15.100 Shouldn't we all be singing from the same hymn book?
00:17:18.540 Well, I think Doug Ford and I are aligned.
00:17:20.700 I think we are singing from the same hymn book, and I think we are talking about the things that matter to Canadians.
00:17:25.780 Canadians don't want the fentanyl crisis either.
00:17:28.200 Canadians don't want illegal migration either.
00:17:30.780 Canadians are distressed at how much we've been diminished on the international stage because we're not pulling our weight.
00:17:37.960 When it comes to our defense commitment.
00:17:39.520 So I think that the approach that Doug and I have taken in voicing those concerns are actually voicing the concerns of Canadians.
00:17:46.220 And I wish that I would see that the federal government would take those things seriously.
00:17:50.080 You can't keep on going down this path and causing this much harm and not have it have an impact.
00:17:55.360 It's having an impact, and it's going to hurt every single province who relies on a positive trade relationship with the United States.
00:18:01.940 And it is up to the federal government to change gears so that we can address them.
00:18:06.520 You mentioned the border.
00:18:07.540 You mentioned illegal crossings.
00:18:09.080 We have some stats as well from the Customs and Border Protection folks.
00:18:12.620 Two million encounters at the Mexican border.
00:18:14.780 200,000 encounters at the northern border.
00:18:17.940 But I take your point.
00:18:18.760 It has doubled in the last two years.
00:18:20.440 It went from about 89,000 to now 200,000 encounters, which is kind of a euphemism for illegal crossings, illegal migrants.
00:18:26.860 What do you want the federal government to do to get that number down?
00:18:30.680 What do you want them to actually implement to try and stop some of these encounters?
00:18:35.880 Well, there's a couple of things.
00:18:37.020 I mean, we've asked for in Alberta more 24-hour border crossings working in conjunction with our counterparts.
00:18:42.920 In Alberta, we're bordered entirely by Montana, the Montana governor, Gianna Forte.
00:18:47.500 And I wrote a joint letter asking for that so that we could have more border protection and more border observation for longer hours.
00:18:55.100 We need a dedicated border patrol team that may include, since we've got such a long order, maybe it includes some drone technology so that we're able to monitor what is happening, where the sites of entry are.
00:19:09.120 When we apprehend people, we need to send them home.
00:19:11.240 We need to deport them.
00:19:12.460 So I would say that those are the kind of things that we're expected to see.
00:19:17.480 It sounds a very bad message to cut hours.
00:19:20.200 Before we get into this one, this is fascinating because, of course, I don't have a lot of time for the bloc.
00:19:28.500 I've said why, but I find it fascinating as bloc MPs have been until Bali have made his very stunning announcement yesterday.
00:19:39.800 One of the few people to stand up and say that the border is so porous, illegals are streaming through.
00:19:45.880 And why isn't the federal government doing anything about it?
00:19:48.700 But one more comment about what Daniel Smith says.
00:19:51.060 She's it's not Team Canada.
00:19:53.980 Team Canada is Trudeau's Canada.
00:19:55.960 Team Canada is Trudeau's way of evading the problems in Canada.
00:20:00.760 Canada first is what Daniel Smith is talking about here.
00:20:04.540 She is echoing what Pierre Pauly have said.
00:20:07.180 The new phrase for all of us is Canada first.
00:20:10.000 And where have we heard something similar?
00:20:11.760 America first.
00:20:12.820 Look after the interests of your own nation first, and then you can get along with the nation next to you because it's in my interest.
00:20:20.920 It's in your interest.
00:20:21.880 It's in Canada's interest, as Daniel Smith just said, to seal the border, to stop fentanyl from coming across the border, from stopping illegals from coming across the border, from having a national defense that's credible.
00:20:36.000 So we can at least defend Canada, not Ukraine, defend Canada.
00:20:41.500 And I find what this MP says very interesting.
00:20:44.060 Border crossings, except for the smugglers.
00:20:46.880 It suggests that the border could be even less watertight than it is today.
00:20:51.180 The message Ottawa should be sending is to deploy resources in support of agents and the RCMP.
00:20:57.260 Tracking smugglers at the longest land border is a game of cat and mouse.
00:21:02.200 And when the cat's away, the mice will play.
00:21:04.140 When Quebec sends the Quebec police to take over border management from the federal government, is it really time to cut back on border services?
00:21:13.140 Thank you, the Honourable Minister of Public Safety.
00:21:16.240 On the contrary, Mr. Speaker, it's the time to support our RCMP and services and border services to work with, we have always, we've always done with authorities, with police in Quebec.
00:21:31.980 It's a joint effort between Canada's law enforcement and our U.S. partners, and that's exactly what our government has done since the beginning.
00:21:40.380 We are going to reverse the conservative cuts with respect to the RCMP and border services, and we're going to continue to invest more to ensure that they have the necessary resources to do their important work.
00:21:53.720 And it goes both ways, because I think what the Americans are...
00:21:57.140 I have to interject here.
00:21:59.760 It's Dominic LeBlanc, looking as usual, like he just got off a three-day bender, trying to say, it's Stephen Harper's fault the border's porous.
00:22:11.160 Conservative cuts that the liberals haven't noticed for nine years?
00:22:16.920 You know, this is, he said this just before, a couple of days before Polly made his stunning announcement yesterday, which I say is probably the best political speech.
00:22:28.580 And I wish I had more of it today to show you.
00:22:30.360 I really wanted to, because I was impressed. 0.99
00:22:33.120 I thought this was a seasoned, intelligent, focused, articulate, and well thought through response to Justin Trudeau's complete idiocy. 0.99
00:22:49.140 Justin Trudeau gave you a word salad. 0.99
00:22:51.660 Justin Trudeau gave you, I am so shaken, I can't express myself.
00:22:59.580 Pierre Polly have thought about what to say, and he said it will.
00:23:03.800 Observing, and your numbers show it, is that people have been coming to Canada with the purpose of sneaking into the United States.
00:23:10.700 That's why we've gotten the attention of the border czar, is he's realizing that if they don't stop this, it's going to continue to get worse and worse.
00:23:18.700 And it's up to us to be a good neighbor and to make sure that we continue to have the longest undefended border by doing what we can to prevent that flow.
00:23:28.580 You see, encounters, as the CBC reporter, I can't believe he actually admitted, encounter means illegal crossing. 1.00
00:23:39.100 That's another euphemism that these idiots like to use. 1.00
00:23:44.180 Idiots meaning the politicians, the CBC, and the people who are supporting illegal immigration. 1.00
00:23:51.680 It's an encounter. 1.00
00:23:52.520 Look at this increase here.
00:23:54.240 And I tell you, I got one more slide.
00:23:55.860 I got one more to show you at the end of his.
00:23:58.000 That's shocking.
00:23:58.600 What can he do to smooth things over?
00:24:06.140 Well, look, I'm going to lead from Alberta's interest.
00:24:09.240 Alberta knows that we are the solution to the American energy security issues.
00:24:14.680 And that is our strongest bargaining point.
00:24:16.780 But we can't be bargaining from that position with things like an emissions cap and a production cap hanging over our heads.
00:24:22.880 We can't be talking about how we're going to remain competitive if tariffs do come in, if he's continuing with a carbon tax that's going to add 61 cents a liter onto gasoline and diesel and the capital gains tax changes that he's making.
00:24:37.820 We are just going to see a flow of businesses that are leaving from Canada and going into the United States.
00:24:43.360 He needs to understand how serious it is, the policy measures that he's taken, and do a quick reverse on a number of them.
00:24:50.380 Meet the Americans in the areas where they are concerned, alleviate those concerns, and then hopefully we can get on to talking about trade issues.
00:24:58.000 Because I think that that's what's happening is the trade issues and the security issues are getting intermingled.
00:25:02.760 We've got to address the security issues before we can have a reasonable discussion about trade.
00:25:09.340 Very intelligent.
00:25:10.520 Very intelligent response.
00:25:11.840 I think she's dead on.
00:25:14.160 Once again, I don't always agree with Daniel Smith.
00:25:16.380 I've known Daniel Smith for 30 years.
00:25:18.300 I think she's 30 years or 20, anyway, decades.
00:25:23.220 She's usually dead on with these issues. 0.98
00:25:26.000 But Mark Miller, our immigration minister, is probably the worst dunderhead who's ever occupied that job. 0.99
00:25:32.480 The man is a lazy, lazy, invalid immigration minister who will do the least possible amount of work to get the job done. 1.00
00:25:42.560 And he doesn't get the job done. 0.99
00:25:44.600 All he knows how to do is to say, someday we're going to have a cap on immigration.
00:25:50.300 And by the way, it's not really a cap.
00:25:52.440 It's just artificial.
00:25:54.260 Look at the mess we're in here.
00:25:55.740 How will you ensure that a person whose visa has expired will leave?
00:26:04.000 We know that just on study permits, there are 766,000 expiring by the end of December 2025.
00:26:10.560 How will your department ensure that at the end of those study permit periods, those persons will leave?
00:26:19.240 Again, there are many ways that people leave the country, Tom.
00:26:24.900 What the hell does that mean?
00:26:28.840 Yeah, you can leave by bus, airplane, car, foot, bicycle. 1.00
00:26:37.720 What a stupid response. 1.00
00:26:40.560 But that's how this man doesn't think. 1.00
00:26:44.500 The vast majority leave voluntarily, and that's what's expected.
00:26:49.400 So explain those ways.
00:26:50.800 How will you ensure it?
00:26:56.900 In the vast majority of cases, those people that have come here temporarily and do not have the right to stay, in fact, leave.
00:27:06.620 How's the start?
00:27:07.300 So you're probably saying, what the hell is this?
00:27:24.480 These are some of the folks who don't want to leave Canada and are saying, here's how you can get in to Canada or the United States.
00:27:33.140 Here's the back channel.
00:27:37.740 Here's the back way.
00:27:38.880 So they're putting this on Instagram and saying, give me a call.
00:27:43.680 You want more information about how to get in to Canada or the United States?
00:27:46.980 I can help you out. 0.99
00:27:48.140 And the idiot Mark Miller is saying, oh, everybody's just going to leave voluntarily. 1.00
00:27:52.060 We've got five million people who are here temporarily. 1.00
00:27:55.740 And Mark Miller thinks they're all just going to say goodbye.
00:28:01.360 Oh, yeah.
00:28:08.500 Give me a call on Instagram and we can do something for you.
00:28:13.500 That's incredible.
00:28:14.600 Anyway, what is the lesson here, folks?
00:28:19.960 The lesson here is that Donald Trump has dared to link policy issues with tariffs.
00:28:30.020 He's dared to link security with fiscal issues.
00:28:35.100 He's dared to say, Canada, get your fiscal house in order and your national security house in order, or there's going to be consequences because you not having either of those houses in order is impacting the United States.
00:28:47.900 So how do I deal with that?
00:28:49.220 I threaten the terror.
00:28:51.140 That's what he's doing.
00:28:52.220 And that's what's happening.
00:28:53.600 Justin Trudeau doesn't get it.
00:28:55.100 He's running like a scared mouse, which is what he is.
00:28:58.240 He's running for cover.
00:28:59.280 He's talking about Team Canada, and he hopes all the premiers line up behind him because he's gutless.
00:29:06.200 Or we can go Canada first, that Pierre Polyev is articulating.
00:29:10.700 That's the strategy we need to go to, because that's the only thing at this point that matters, is saving Canada from Justin Trudeau and his policies.
00:29:24.260 Daniel Smith gets it.
00:29:25.340 Pierre Polyev gets it.
00:29:26.360 Doug Ford might be getting it.
00:29:27.720 He's getting a little bit sideways on retaliation.
00:29:33.460 We need to get Canada fixed before we start retaliating, and then there won't be a need to retaliate.
00:29:42.860 We get Canada fixed.
00:29:45.060 Canada first, Canada fixed.
00:29:46.800 I like them both.
00:29:47.640 We make that happen.
00:29:49.640 There's not going to be a tariff war.
00:29:53.460 There's not going to be a trade war.
00:29:55.200 And everybody benefits.
00:29:59.500 This is a very interesting moment in time here.
00:30:03.940 Pierre Polyev has really, and like I say, I'm never in the bag for any party or politician.
00:30:11.540 You know who I favor.
00:30:12.800 But Polyev has put his finger right on the pertinent facts and the pertinent point here, which is this is all about Justin Trudeau ignoring reality.
00:30:27.040 Justin Trudeau will no longer be able to tax with impunity, to cut oil and gas production for his extremist environmental agenda.
00:30:40.600 He will no longer be able to impose his ideology on Canadians.
00:30:46.180 He will no longer be able to cut national defense and pretend he's not doing so.
00:30:50.680 He will no longer be able to keep an open border and say, oh, it's Stephen Harper's fault.
00:30:57.340 We have an open border.
00:30:58.500 This is a reality check for Justin Trudeau.
00:31:02.240 Pierre Polyev and Daniel Smith are forcing this reality check on Justin Trudeau.
00:31:07.360 Polyev and Smith are forcing Justin Trudeau to wake up.
00:31:12.520 I hate to use it and smell the coffee.
00:31:15.560 They're forcing Justin Trudeau to act responsibly.
00:31:19.500 I don't know how much longer Justin Trudeau has to act responsibly.
00:31:24.000 He needs to step down as liberal leader and prime minister of Canada.
00:31:27.740 We need a snap election.
00:31:30.200 But if that doesn't happen before January 20th, 2025, when Donald Trump becomes president of the United States,
00:31:39.820 Justin Trudeau needs to get with reality in the meantime.
00:31:44.040 That's all I've got for today.
00:31:45.980 We'll be back again tomorrow with all the news.
00:31:48.640 You need to know, and please, have a look at our store.
00:31:55.360 I'm not going to run the ad.
00:31:56.900 Have a look at our store.
00:31:57.880 Get one of these hoodies for Christmas.
00:32:01.460 In fact, why don't I run the ad at the end here?
00:32:04.000 Because please, have a look at our store today.
00:32:07.720 Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. 0.61
00:32:18.640 Ho, ho, ho, ho. 0.87
00:32:19.140 Ho, ho, ho ho. 0.99
00:32:29.680 Let's take a look through our store.
00:32:32.980 Thank you.
