hi welcome back to another stand on guard episode no we're not asleep on the switches had a couple
00:00:07.240
of slides here at the last minute thank you for joining me today it's sunday july 28th i can't
00:00:16.000
believe we're getting near the end of july it has been one heck of a month in politics as usual when
00:00:24.560
we come back what's all this stuff about a merger between the liberals and the ndp i'm going to have
00:00:31.420
a look at that so we are in a very precarious position in this country we need political
00:00:54.560
yeah i know i i already see some comments from folks i'm going to try to get your comments up
00:01:07.080
today i have been remiss recently not doing that you know i think the opening comment is quite
00:01:14.180
interesting from no it's not the opening welcome to the site up merging more like merged well
00:01:26.360
they're cooperating they're in a de facto government together yes it's a de facto coalition but are they
00:01:32.640
going to merge as political parties is there no longer going to be an ndp because it would be
00:01:42.140
swallowed up no question by the liberals they have a larger membership base they are in power
00:01:47.100
they have the prime minister is it possible that it could happen just like it seems to be happening
00:01:54.840
in europe especially in france i would argue that no and i can tell you why it's probably a big no
00:02:03.820
because a lot of liberals believe it or not don't see themselves as left-wing they don't see
00:02:10.740
themselves as woke in fact i know a number of former liberal mps who can't stand the current
00:02:20.040
direction of the party and would never contemplate joining with the ndp and a merger a party an official
00:02:27.780
party merger so you have to remember that the liberal rank and file who still contribute the money
00:02:36.020
to this party who still constitute the base if there is such a thing as a grassroots to the liberal party
00:02:43.960
so these people who don't see themselves as part of the left wing they don't see themselves as socialist
00:02:50.260
as the ndp and they would really think this would be a catastrophe to lose the liberal party
00:02:58.900
now likewise the ndp for whatever how delusional can you be they don't see themselves as part of the elites
00:03:08.360
although that's exactly what they have become they still see the liberals and the conservatives as part of the
00:03:16.140
corporate elite and they of course are part of something else even though they're not really attracting
00:03:22.060
real working class boats anymore they're not attracting blue collar support because they have
00:03:28.520
nothing in common with average canadians but it's the perception for the rank and file ndp who still think
00:03:36.800
they are the party of the working class they are the party of unions not just government unions which are
00:03:42.940
god beyond hopeless but private sector unions where people actually still do a day's work
00:03:49.660
they still see themselves as representing these facets of the canadian economy of the canadian electorate
00:03:56.580
so do you think they're going to join with the liberals it is unlikely because even as as potent
00:04:05.560
a temptation as power politics is as becoming part of the of a permanent political power ground
00:04:15.700
it's very unlikely to happen in canada simply because of the dynamics and i would argue the ndp will
00:04:24.000
continue to try to get back their blue collar support that has largely gone to peer polyevs conservatives
00:04:31.300
because the conservatives have appealed to the common sense values and i'm not i don't want to
00:04:38.100
repeat polyevs talking points but he's he's right when he talks about common sense values common sense
00:04:44.760
policies that appeal to average canadians they don't want to hear about gender ideology and how it's so
00:04:51.380
important that we deliver gender affirming care for our kids when that means allowing 12 year olds to
00:04:59.960
have sex changes average canadians are sick of this and they're sick of hearing about pride month and pride
00:05:05.740
season and they're sick of hearing about how great our euthanasia program is they want to hear ideas
00:05:12.400
about just surviving in an economy that is increasingly bad so i can tell you right now all of this talk and
00:05:22.600
you're seeing most of it on social media right now from people who don't really know what the hell
00:05:28.140
they're talking about and they're getting this unsourced and they're speculating and they're saying that
00:05:32.080
there's some sort of secret talks going on right now well there's no secret talks are there any secret
00:05:37.820
talks going on right now it's with mark carney because the liberals still think they can pull the
00:05:44.080
wool over your eyes without having to merge with anybody they never think they've got the resort to
00:05:49.740
a merger even if they had the agreement of the ndp they don't think they have to do that all they have to
00:05:55.260
do is change leaders now of course justin trudeau if we watch this video here justin trudeau says he's
00:06:05.700
staying no i am absolutely not i am i'm running in the next election are you concerned at all about
00:06:13.260
your poll numbers no i am not what causes you to not be concerned because i spend a lot of time talking
00:06:19.240
with canadians a lot of time you know focusing on the things that we're doing to actually deliver
00:06:24.780
for people is it not to argue that wherever you go you get uh a lot of backlash because of what
00:06:30.560
you're doing what what concerns me is i can't bring my kids away with me on vacation uh without
00:06:37.320
having that vacation interrupted and having private times at six o'clock in the evening on a beautiful
00:06:43.960
night in a in a beautiful canadian beach so yeah he's running in the next election no question
00:06:52.560
as long as he survives until the next election now trudeau obviously thinks he's going to be able to
00:06:58.920
survive because he says that with such a degree of confidence yes i'm running in the next election
00:07:04.180
now of course joe biden talked exactly like that just what two weeks ago it was a week ago tonight
00:07:12.360
that joe biden announced he wasn't running just days before that he emphatically emphatically
00:07:20.320
exclaimed before an audience he's running again now justin trudeau isn't suffering from the same degree
00:07:29.820
of dementia anyway as joe biden perhaps none perhaps i can give him that much but he i think believes
00:07:37.900
he's going to be running in the next election however however however his big mistake right
00:07:46.540
now is thinking he can allow mark carney into the tent you know the old adage you'd rather have
00:07:52.820
mark carney pissing pissing outside of the tent or sorry inside the tent pissing out than outside the
00:07:59.560
tent pissing in was lyndon johnson famous adage about what to do with your political opponents
00:08:05.400
bring them close to you and that's what trudeau is trying to do and we'll just hear briefly from
00:08:11.540
this i don't want to hear the whole thing but jeremy charone is in ottawa with more for us
00:08:16.240
so jeremy good morning to you what is the expectation regarding friday's meeting is it all about mark carney
00:08:23.420
well you know a lot of it uh is speculation right now marcia because uh the prime minister's office has
00:08:30.580
not confirmed the contents of the meeting yet despite requests uh to do so what we know is
00:08:35.620
that uh you know trudeau and his cabinet will be meeting virtually for about 30 minutes um to talk
00:08:41.360
about appointments uh and so there certainly is speculation and talk that this meeting will be
00:08:47.460
to introduce mark carney to talk about mark carney um and a potential entrance for mark carney into
00:08:53.100
federal politics um but certainly the timing of this meeting uh is particular or peculiar rather
00:09:00.080
uh when you think of all of the talk about potential cabinet shuffles uh since the toronto uh st paul's
00:09:07.780
by-election loss for the liberals um the party has been looking for ways to bounce back and looking for a
00:09:14.220
fix uh early on there were calls for uh an emergency caucus meeting uh the prime minister never did that
00:09:21.240
uh there has been there have been public pushes uh for the prime minister to step down as leader of
00:09:26.920
the of the liberal party he has made it clear that that is not his plan right now that he would like
00:09:32.280
to lead liberals into the next uh election and so anyway so once again the affirmation that he would
00:09:39.440
like to lead the liberals but justin trudeau has no sense of history and he doesn't seem to remember
00:09:46.860
or probably never knew how the federal liberals operate and for federal liberals politics is the
00:09:54.520
ultimate blood sport and they will do whatever they have to do to or think they have to do to
00:10:01.500
maintain power the good news is it doesn't always work and in fact in the two most recent famous cases
00:10:10.500
of how the liberals thought getting rid of the current leader and replacing him with some
00:10:16.260
supposed golden boy or some much more popular successor was going to work are great cases of that
00:10:24.080
but it also demonstrates that when a liberal leader invites his opponent to get inside the tent with him
00:10:32.160
that opponent is going to get his knife out and stab that leader in the back
00:10:36.900
what cases am i thinking i'm thinking of how jean cretche outmaneuvered john turner
00:10:42.860
when john turner was very briefly prime minister after pierre trudeau resigned and of course he was
00:10:50.560
opposition leader briefly again to brian marooney as prime minister john cretche maneuvered himself
00:10:58.060
to get rid of john turner it was a palace coup and john cretche he was the victim of the same
00:11:08.380
kind of palace coup but five six years later no sorry after after nine years of being prime minister
00:11:18.720
he was the victim of the same kind of palace coup when paul martin who always said i'm going to be
00:11:26.500
prime minister someday sooner or later i'm entitled i'm going to be prime minister he waited his time and
00:11:33.940
then he struck and got rid of john cretche did not go exactly quietly but not with without too much
00:11:44.520
whimpering and complaining but that's what happened and of course in both cases it didn't work paul martin
00:11:51.320
was only prime minister for a very brief period of time before stephen harper became prime minister
00:11:56.960
and and and as we've already said john turner was prime minister for about six months and it didn't
00:12:05.620
work for john turner either canadians weren't fooled so the lesson here is is twofold first of all that
00:12:14.160
changing leaders doesn't work for the liberal party it rarely ever works it worked probably once in its
00:12:23.240
history when it when mckenzie king resigned and louis saint laurent became the leader of the liberal party
00:12:30.560
and suddenly the liberals looked even though the saint laurent was as old as mckenzie king this they
00:12:38.700
somehow sold that as a as being the rejuvenation of the party as ridiculous as that was but it worked
00:12:47.380
but it's not working anymore and it hasn't worked for a long time and i and i predict justin
00:12:53.020
trudeau will not get away with this but he will he is inviting his own political demise by asking
00:13:01.080
mark carney into the caucus because carney is not going to go there for any other reason except
00:13:06.680
wanting the top job he wants to be prime minister he thinks he deserves to be prime minister and he
00:13:12.260
will be no better a prime minister than justin trudeau but he will certainly do his damnedest to take over
00:13:18.480
that job so once again justin trudeau is not thinking about mergers he's thinking about how
00:13:24.900
to contain mark carney how to control his potential successors how to stay in power of the liberal party
00:13:32.420
he has no idea how he could stay in control of a merged liberal ndp party yes he wants to continue to
00:13:39.840
use the ndp as their de facto coalition partner in the house of commons it's worked out great for
00:13:46.220
justin trudeau he hasn't lost anything in the deal it's been a great deal and the ndp are pretty damn
00:13:52.400
stupid to continue to prop this government up jagmeet singh is pretty damn stupid and corrupt
00:13:58.040
to continue to prop up the trudeau government but that's their issue the other problem of course
00:14:04.860
with justin trudeau is he is immensely popular fascinating call poll from david coletto
00:14:12.720
just out here and i had a look at this just this morning actually commissioned by the toronto star
00:14:21.900
because which interests me because uh coletto was always seen as a small c conservative
00:14:29.080
pollster he used to be the exclusive polls a pollster for the old sun news
00:14:34.660
when it was on the air and we used to i worked for sun news for about six months and coletto was
00:14:42.020
always on he was either dead on in his numbers or he was completely wrong he was he was he was the
00:14:48.480
only pollster to predict the ndp winning the alberta provincial election for instance and he's been
00:14:56.720
dead on and other other times sometimes he's not but if you look at these poll numbers
00:15:05.920
is in so much trouble that he's he's not thinking about merger he's thinking about survival
00:15:13.360
and if you if you look at some of these numbers it's absolutely astounding in terms of
00:15:30.180
in every province except quebec over 50 percent of respondents said that they are either deeply
00:15:50.740
very and his national results actually mirror those in ontario which is usually a little more
00:15:58.820
sympathetic towards justin trudeau so this this this is quite fascinating and if and if you look at the
00:16:21.900
ever had a good idea as prime minister and they all he is seen uniformly as a as a political disaster
00:16:28.940
this is one of the most damning polls i've ever seen because it doesn't give justin trudeau
00:16:33.260
any hope anywhere in canada except quebec where of course
00:16:39.900
he's he barely scrapes by with some popularity but he's behind the party is behind the conservatives and the bloc
00:16:51.260
so he is in deep deep political trouble and a merger is not going to save him
00:16:59.900
and in fact the merger would make it more likely of course that he is going
00:17:03.580
not going to be the leader of the new whatever you want to call ndp liberal alliance liberal ndp alliance
00:17:14.540
the woke party the progressive party he's not going to be the leader of that party
00:17:20.460
there's no way he can retain his leadership if there's a new party so it's another reason to say
00:17:25.740
no this merger is ho is a hoax this merger is just window dressing to keep people distracted
00:17:32.220
while justin trudeau continues to try to retain on to retain power and that's all this is about
00:17:43.660
so i want to move on before we leave here and by the way i hope you're all having a great sunday
00:17:49.180
the weather is just beautiful here in auto we've had a unusually nice week it was uh it was a very rainy
00:17:55.820
summer to start with and my i want to say again for those of you in alberta
00:18:02.220
i know we have a lot of listeners and viewers in alberta my heart goes out to you if you're in
00:18:08.300
the jasper area i vacationed there many many times my father actually worked in jasper at the old cp
00:18:16.220
hotel there which is now uh can't think i can't think of the chain uh fair amount and now a fair it's a
00:18:25.260
fair amount hotel and it was canadian pacific hotel in his days and he was a uh a very young man when he when
00:18:31.820
he worked there and i i used to go back not only to jasper national park but the banff national park
00:18:39.820
many times throughout my life it was always one of my favorite places to go and my heart goes out to
00:18:44.940
all of you who have suffered through this wildfire which i don't blame the weather for i blame bad
00:18:51.580
deforestation policies for and besides this is not a time to start exploiting political causes over
00:19:00.220
people's misery and i god knows there might be even more sinister causes and reasons for this fire
00:19:08.540
and in jasper but you know i i i don't want to get into that right now i just want to extend my
00:19:16.060
heartfelt sympathy to all of you who have been affected by this fire and it's been uh has been
00:19:23.740
devastating and it's been heart rending heartbreaking to watch this devastation and it's a this is a jewel
00:19:31.900
one of many national park jewels in canada anybody who's ever been there can tell you that so i extend my
00:19:39.260
uh heartfelt sympathy i i wanted i wanted to mention that before we go i just wanted to touch on the
00:19:46.780
latest here with the u.s politics which i in which i contend still have a direct relation with canada
00:19:55.740
i think justin trudeau will face his political demise in the not so distant future
00:20:01.900
this whole attempted assassination of donald trump is revealing how corrupt and how duplicitous
00:20:10.940
and how mendacious the deep state is in the united states but you know what it's just as corrupt
00:20:18.140
just as duplicitous just as mendacious in canada we have a deep state as well and you know that deep
00:20:24.620
state is going to do whatever it thinks it has to do to stop the new prime minister which will be
00:20:31.180
pierre polyev and even you know maxine bernier acknowledges that as well there's there's no
00:20:36.940
question he is going to be the next prime minister but the deep state here in canada will do whatever
00:20:42.220
it can to stop polyevna conservatives from actually reforming the system from actually making some
00:20:49.420
changes to the economy and to to the social structure you better believe it and what happened
00:20:56.700
in the united states and what continues to happen in the cover-up of this attempted assassination
00:21:01.660
i'm not going to deal with that today more to come next week on that just indicates how desperate
00:21:09.180
these woke ideologues who sit quietly behind the scenes making trouble and arresting people causing
00:21:20.460
people to go through lawfare just how desperate they are but but here's the here's the real joke
00:21:27.420
kamala harris hasn't got a hope in hell of beating former president donald trump in this 2024 presidential
00:21:36.700
election worst vice president in history just like biden yes he was the worst president in history we
00:21:43.260
don't have to go back to franklin pierce or or buchanan before the civil war this guy was a complete
00:21:53.420
disaster tens of millions of illegals i won't go on to the record you know how bad the record was how
00:22:00.060
bad the record is kamala harris is part of that record she was an absolute failure as the so-called borders are
00:22:07.020
and she was her poll numbers were routinely and chronically the lowest ever recorded for a vice
00:22:14.380
president in the united states but guess what gen z feels the comma love youth-led progressive groups
00:22:23.580
hope harris will energize young voters oh yeah i don't think gen z is that stupid if you look at the
00:22:30.060
poll i just showed you about trudeau trudeau supporting amongst the gen z is barely more than
00:22:36.700
it is amongst people in their 40s and 50s i think it's the same in the united states i don't believe for a
00:22:45.100
minute that they're that stupid they're going to embrace a candidate just because she's black and
00:22:53.740
she's a woman i don't think anyone or large enough numbers of people are that stupid that they can
00:23:01.980
ignore incompetence they can ignore the fact she can't put a articulate sentence together they can
00:23:08.140
ignore the fact she has no idea about policy matters she doesn't know the difference between
00:23:15.340
north korea and south korea this is a woman who is vacuous completely vacuous at least joe biden in his
00:23:22.220
prime was a fairly articulate senator i i would argue always a fairly corrupt one but at least he was a
00:23:31.260
fairly articulate one at one time who did have a fairly good grasp of u.s domestic and foreign policy
00:23:37.420
kamala harris has never been blessed with that sort of ability so don't make me laugh this is
00:23:45.340
a riot to suggest this and a complete riot by the way thanks for listening today i'm going to have more
00:23:52.860
either tonight or early tomorrow about the olympics this is an outrage what the olympic committee did what
00:23:59.260
france did to the olympics and there are already people saying just don't watch them because they have
00:24:06.300
politicized this once great sporting event to an outrageous degree and i'm we're sick of it we're
00:24:13.900
sick of being being told how to think at a sporting event separate my god politics from sports divide the
00:24:25.100
two stop doing this you know i didn't even know the olympics were on until about five days ago because i
00:24:32.540
i don't watch them anymore thanks for your support today god bless you all and we will be back
00:24:41.900
tomorrow with more of the information and like i said we're going to be talking more about the olympics
