Summary

Conservatives win the St. Paul's by-election in Toronto, which was a Liberal stronghold for over 30 years. Is this a good omen for the fall of the Liberal government? And what does it mean for the rest of the country?


Transcript

00:00:00.880 Welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard. Hope you're having a great Tuesday.
00:00:05.920 Beautiful weather here. No, it's not a heat wave. It's called summer.
00:00:10.360 But big story, conservatives win that Toronto St. Paul's by-election.
00:00:17.240 When I come back, we'll discuss what that means, what happened, and two other incredibly outstanding stories.
00:00:25.960 So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:31.700 We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:49.880 Yes, please light the station. Thank you so much for your continued support.
00:00:53.860 Let's up the support numbers. Let's get the subscriptions past 26,000, onwards to 30.
00:01:01.360 I really appreciate your support. Just like us if you can, so we can beat the YouTube censorship,
00:01:07.980 just like we're beating Trudeau's censorship every day.
00:01:11.280 Looks like the message didn't work in Toronto.
00:01:15.480 Yeah, I wrote that this morning for the Post Millennial.
00:01:18.720 Conservative candidate wins Toronto Parliament's seat that Liberals held for over 30 years.
00:01:23.120 And, of course, that was Carolyn Bennett's old seat.
00:01:26.960 She used to be the health minister.
00:01:28.720 She was until January when she resigned her seat.
00:01:32.280 She was the mental health minister.
00:01:34.520 And she was a lousy mental health minister because she thought there was no problem giving free drugs out to people all across the country.
00:01:42.360 No big deal.
00:01:43.560 That had nothing to do with causing addiction.
00:01:47.440 So, she didn't seem to be big into rehab.
00:01:52.500 She didn't seem to be big into harm reduction, which is really quite a fallacy.
00:01:58.720 But she won that seat in the last election by 24 percentage points.
00:02:04.720 And last night, it went.
00:02:09.340 It went down to defeat for the Liberals.
00:02:13.760 Leslie Church, who was a chief of staff to Christia Freeland.
00:02:18.840 I just love this.
00:02:20.280 She was a staffer on the Hill for years.
00:02:22.640 And her last job was as chief of staff with Christia Freeland.
00:02:26.440 Don Stewart, the conservative one.
00:02:28.600 But this is interesting, to say the least.
00:02:33.680 And I want you to listen to this.
00:02:36.280 I think this really does say it all about why the Liberals lost.
00:02:42.300 And leave it to Christia Freeland to define why they deserve to lose.
00:02:46.380 This is an important by-election, because it is about a choice between two visions of Canada,
00:02:58.520 two sets of values.
00:03:02.000 I really want to encourage people to vote for our outstanding, hard-working candidate,
00:03:08.580 Leslie Church, our hard-working Liberal candidate, Leslie Church.
00:03:11.760 What she stands for is the values we are talking about here today.
00:03:18.160 She stands for a vision of Canada, which is about investing in Canada.
00:03:25.160 Whatever a Liberal says investing, translate that to mean spending taxpayer dollars.
00:03:32.780 Because this was an election about choices, as she says, between the Liberals spending your tax dollars
00:03:40.480 on things you don't want, and the conservative idea that you should be allowed to spend your money
00:03:48.720 as you choose.
00:03:50.360 And the government should mind its own business and get out of yours.
00:03:54.620 And that's what she means when she says invest.
00:03:57.580 It's all about the government telling you how to spend money and making sure that you are tethered,
00:04:04.680 tied to the federal government.
00:04:08.400 Investing in essential industries like our car sector, being sure that Canada can own the podium.
00:04:14.460 And at the end of the day, a vision which believes in a Canada that plays as Team Canada, where we...
00:04:23.580 Another code word, Team Canada, means Team Liberal.
00:04:28.480 It means dividing all other Canadians into subgroups.
00:04:34.140 It means identity politics.
00:04:35.940 Team Canada, that's the Liberal.
00:04:37.720 All work together to support and defend the national interest, as you are seeing here today,
00:04:44.720 with unions, with industry, with government.
00:04:53.580 There is the Liberal vision for Canada.
00:04:56.820 Increasingly socialistic, and ultimately, that leads to communism.
00:05:02.160 You used to think that was a gross exaggeration.
00:05:04.640 I don't anymore.
00:05:05.940 Because this prime minister has exhibited nothing but totalitarian tendencies,
00:05:10.920 as has this minister, whose grandfather used to work for the Nazis.
00:05:16.280 You can have a look at where this seat is located.
00:05:25.140 I love it.
00:05:25.420 That is Leslie's vision.
00:05:27.060 That's the Liberal vision.
00:05:28.480 That's why I'm really calling on the people of St. Paul's to go out there and vote for her.
00:05:33.180 Because the alternative is really cold and cruel and small.
00:05:41.260 There's where the writing of Toronto's St. Paul's is.
00:05:49.740 Right in the heart of Liberal Toronto.
00:05:54.680 Now, is this symbolic?
00:05:57.440 Is this indicative of the Liberal fortunes?
00:06:03.040 Does this suggest the downfall of the Liberal government?
00:06:06.240 I think this is a very bad omen for Liberals.
00:06:09.980 A good omen for freedom.
00:06:12.260 Because it means shot through the heart, as this Stephen Taylor says in this ex-post.
00:06:21.180 I just think this is classic.
00:06:23.780 Let's listen to what Nick Nanos, the CTV pollster, had to say about this election.
00:06:30.920 Very interesting.
00:06:31.540 Bottom line here, because we've got a good take of what's happening in the writing.
00:06:35.400 When we say Liberal stronghold, there's no way to overstate that.
00:06:38.960 Like, Carolyn Bennett held this writing in 2011 when the Liberals were essentially decimated across the country.
00:06:44.340 How big of a deal would a flip be here?
00:06:46.300 Oh, it would be a massive deal because I think she won by 24 percentage points.
00:06:50.960 If the Conservatives win this writing, or even if the Liberals win by a squeaker, it will be completely devastating for the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and for the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:07:01.820 Because that means that every Liberal writing is in play.
00:07:06.100 Because if the Conservatives can be competitive in downtown Toronto, that means basically there's not really a safe seat in the country.
00:07:12.340 What does competitive look like?
00:07:13.740 Like, if you were to put a number on it, is it somewhere within that 10-point range, for example?
00:07:17.880 Well, I would say if the Conservatives are anywhere between 5 percentage points of the Liberals, that's basically a toss-up.
00:07:24.860 That means that they've gained, like, 19 points.
00:07:27.420 They've closed a 24-point advantage that the Liberals had to 5.
00:07:31.200 So, that's a game-changer.
00:07:33.260 And that, you know, that speaks to the fact that the Conservatives will be more competitive.
00:07:36.420 So, I think the expectations for the Tories are low.
00:07:39.300 Like, no one really expected them to win.
00:07:41.780 Them being competitive, that'll be the big question.
00:07:44.380 Because if the Liberals have a good showing today, it'll probably relieve a little pressure and stress on the Liberal team.
00:07:51.320 But if it gets close, there'll be a lot of soul-searching within the Liberal Party in terms of policy, in terms of leadership, and just right from top to bottom.
00:08:00.380 Yeah, top to bottom.
00:08:01.820 So, this could be the beginning of the end of Justin Trudeau.
00:08:07.020 And politics is a funny business.
00:08:10.040 And I've been watching politics for, even before my adult life.
00:08:15.380 I started watching politics in a very interested way as a teenager.
00:08:21.100 So, I've been watching politics for decades now.
00:08:24.060 And the one thing I've learned about politics is that you can never predict things based on one or two events.
00:08:33.380 And I'm not going to say that Justin Trudeau's finished here with it, because everything I know about Justin Trudeau suggests he will stay on as leader, no matter how unpopular he is.
00:08:44.760 Because he believes, as a narcissistic individual, he believes he's indispensable, not just to the Liberal Party, but to the country.
00:08:52.580 He honestly believes that about himself.
00:08:55.240 His opinion of himself is that high.
00:08:57.120 So, is this going to set him back?
00:09:00.340 Maybe not personally.
00:09:02.060 But is this going to convince enough of the party bosses, enough of the caucus, enough of the cabinet that Justin Trudeau has to go?
00:09:09.640 Possibly so.
00:09:10.840 And that could well happen.
00:09:12.180 So, Canada, the politics are interesting, but so is what's happening in the world today.
00:09:19.560 I woke up this morning, and I said, wow, events are just taking place at a breathtaking speed.
00:09:26.500 And, of course, big story of the day is Julian Assange is walking free.
00:09:34.540 Now, I'm sure most of my viewers are saying, hallelujah.
00:09:38.420 This was a guy who exposed corruption, and they spat on him.
00:09:45.080 He is a shell of a man today because of the incarceration, because of the false accusations, because of the imprisonment, because of living in an embassy, because of being an international pariah, because he believed in free speech.
00:10:03.640 And it's incredible to me.
00:10:05.040 Fifteen years of detention by so-called democracies.
00:10:09.920 But these democracies are so corrupt, they don't believe in free speech anymore.
00:10:15.520 And it's absolutely astounding.
00:10:18.860 And I can't rejoice enough.
00:10:22.980 Now, it's a weird story.
00:10:24.600 He's, you know, he's going to, he's on his way, probably there now, to the Marianas, which I didn't even realize.
00:10:33.480 The United States still had a colony there.
00:10:36.580 There was a huge naval battle during the Second World War in the Pacific Theater called the, literally it was called the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot, where the Americans were shooting Japanese zeros out of the sky.
00:10:51.420 And it was a huge victory for America.
00:10:54.640 I guess America just took over the island.
00:10:56.980 So they still have a presence there.
00:10:59.220 So Assange is going to the Marianas to plead guilty to espionage.
00:11:04.680 And supposedly, and this is the deal, he's going to walk free after that because the United States will give him credit for time served.
00:11:11.760 Which is at least five years, more like 15, if you want to be realistic about it.
00:11:17.600 So I hope this terrible journey for a man who really wanted to expose corruption and wrongdoing is allowed to be free again.
00:11:28.480 And this has been a freedom of speech story, a freedom of speech struggle from day one.
00:11:33.940 But listen to this incredible clip from Julian Assange.
00:11:39.780 If you want to know, why did the United States want this man under a thumbnail?
00:11:48.040 Why did Mike Pence say today, this huge traitor to MAGA and the Trump movement, the Trump presidency,
00:11:56.700 who thinks we should be fighting in Ukraine for the rest of eternity and we should continue to foment foreign wars?
00:12:05.160 Why did Mike Pence say this was a miscarriage of justice, that he's going to walk free?
00:12:13.400 All you have to do is listen to this clip here of Julian Assange.
00:12:17.600 And you know where this man's heart and mind is.
00:12:20.320 Because the goal is not to completely subjugate Afghanistan.
00:12:26.180 The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States,
00:12:33.420 out of the tax bases of European countries, through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite.
00:12:40.940 That is the goal, i.e. the goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war.
00:12:50.320 That's why he ran from the United States for 15 years.
00:12:56.620 Because he nailed it with that statement.
00:13:02.360 There is no desire for victory in Afghanistan.
00:13:07.400 Just like I came to realize very late in life, there is no desire for victory in Vietnam.
00:13:13.540 I supported the Vietnam War.
00:13:16.600 I wasn't alive when the Vietnam War was raging.
00:13:22.200 I was alive at the very end, tail end of the war.
00:13:25.360 But I mean, I had no conception as a child what that war was about.
00:13:30.020 In later years, when I made political decisions, I supported the Vietnam War and said it was a noble cause.
00:13:37.220 It never occurred to me that the United States didn't really want to win in Vietnam.
00:13:42.600 They wanted to keep the war going because people were getting rich off of that war.
00:13:48.440 The military-industrial complex that Dwight D. Eisenhower warned Americans about wanted that war to continue and continue and continue.
00:13:57.840 Because it made lots of money, and the object was never victory.
00:14:04.400 It was continuous war, just like Afghanistan.
00:14:09.860 That's why we were there so long.
00:14:12.720 And as a military member in uniform, I supported everything we did in Afghanistan.
00:14:17.600 I thought we were doing great things.
00:14:19.660 I really believed in the mission because I thought there was a mission.
00:14:22.840 It wasn't until years afterwards I realized there was no mission.
00:14:28.700 There was no objective here.
00:14:30.560 The objective was not peace.
00:14:34.180 The objective was not really to create a viable democracy in Afghanistan.
00:14:40.960 The objective was to create chaos and to continue that war and other wars throughout the Middle East and Africa.
00:14:47.480 And, of course, that's the objective in Ukraine.
00:14:49.540 Keep the war going.
00:14:51.020 Kill as many Ukrainians as possible because they don't matter.
00:14:55.320 And, of course, the Russians are evil, so let them die too.
00:14:59.240 It's not costing NATO a single personnel.
00:15:03.280 And we're getting so much bang for our buck.
00:15:06.960 And the munitions industries are making billions of dollars, tens, hundreds of billions of dollars off of this war.
00:15:13.660 That's what Afghanistan was about.
00:15:16.500 That's what Ukraine is all about.
00:15:18.700 And that's what wars in the Middle East continue to be about.
00:15:21.740 They continue to be about people dying so people can get rich.
00:15:25.820 That's something that took me years to admit and acknowledge because I'm still proud of my military service.
00:15:32.600 I was an officer in the Air Force and I defended Canada.
00:15:38.060 But that's what the military should be about, defending your country, not attacking other people, other people's countries and keeping wars going forever and ever and ever.
00:15:47.340 So people keep dying and coming home in body bags and other people keep getting rich off of it and telling you, good job, keep fighting because I'm getting rich.
00:15:57.460 So Assange being free is a victory for free speech.
00:16:01.900 It is a real victory for free speech.
00:16:06.140 And I want to go on to another story here because I think this is really, really important.
00:16:10.580 Just incredible.
00:16:12.580 This is another piece of breaking news from late yesterday.
00:16:17.660 Tommy Robinson, the English-British activist, gets arrested in Calgary.
00:16:24.260 Holy crap.
00:16:25.380 He gets arrested in Calgary supposedly because he didn't tell the Customs and Border people that he had had some legal problems in his home country.
00:16:35.820 And, of course, he had been arrested.
00:16:38.200 Arrested for free speech violations.
00:16:40.180 And that's what he's really being arrested for here in Canada because he's a free speech advocate.
00:16:45.600 And Canadians, at least the ones in control of this country, the government of Canada doesn't like free speech.
00:16:52.060 And this is a fascinating little clip because this is how incredible this is.
00:16:58.960 He gets arrested by the Calgary police.
00:17:01.160 They put him in the backseat of the cruiser.
00:17:03.920 And I'm sure anyone who's been in the backseat of a cruiser knows that that's a very dispiriting, demoralizing experience.
00:17:12.060 And you never want to be there.
00:17:14.640 But he's back there saying, what the hell is going on?
00:17:17.860 And the police let him use his phone to tape the conversation.
00:17:23.800 Listen to this.
00:17:32.520 Can I ask you who's made the order for my arrest?
00:17:36.440 The minister's delegate.
00:17:37.620 The minister's delegate?
00:17:39.400 Who's the minister's delegate?
00:17:42.080 This is incredible.
00:17:44.200 One of the officers.
00:17:45.840 One of the what?
00:17:46.500 One of the officers.
00:17:47.860 One of the officers.
00:17:49.060 Is that government?
00:17:51.020 So, a director with the CBSA.
00:17:54.540 A director with who?
00:17:55.680 CBSA Canada Order Services Agency.
00:17:57.860 A director with the CBSA.
00:17:59.320 Has signed.
00:18:00.440 Has signed the order to have me arrested.
00:18:02.120 Signed an arrest warrant.
00:18:03.440 An arrest warrant.
00:18:06.520 Okay.
00:18:07.860 Okay.
00:18:08.320 I'm guessing now what, and you look to now what, arrest me.
00:18:11.020 You've left all my stuff there, my passport, but you're going to deport me.
00:18:14.260 No, there's a whole procedure that you have to do.
00:18:16.580 There's a whole procedure, which takes how long?
00:18:19.400 So, he recorded this conversation, and these guys, these cops admit this is a political arrest.
00:18:31.620 They've been ordered to do that by the CBSA, Canadian Border Security Agency, which, of course, goes under home, not homeland security.
00:18:42.820 It goes under the, in this country, public, public order.
00:18:51.260 No, sorry.
00:18:52.240 It's, it's, it's, it's, it's Dominique LeBlanc.
00:18:55.700 And so, it's, it's, it's essentially under his jurisdiction.
00:19:03.180 So, it's a political decision.
00:19:04.720 So, the, the cops are admitting this is a political setup.
00:19:14.860 This is incredible.
00:19:16.840 Absolutely incredible.
00:19:18.060 So, he's being arrested because he's a free speech advocate.
00:19:20.480 And he's actually, I think, he, he, he was invited to speak in Canada about Bill C-63, which is the Online Harms Act, which is, of course, another piece of raw censorship coming from the Trudeau government.
00:19:33.440 Yeah, it's Minister of Public Safety is what I'm trying to think of here.
00:19:36.440 That's who ordered this through the CBSA.
00:19:40.080 Dominique LeBlanc, the Minister of Public Safety, the Ministry of Public Safety went down to the CBSA and they wanted this guy arrested.
00:19:46.860 So, I mean, this is absolutely outrageous.
00:19:50.640 It's incredible.
00:19:52.060 And he comes to Canada at the behest of Rebel News and he talks about Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, and that's not what they want him to do.
00:20:02.840 So, ironically, he's allowed to go to Red Deer, but he can't go any further north to Edmonton.
00:20:10.900 And he can't cross the provincial boundaries from Alberta.
00:20:15.260 Weird.
00:20:16.860 And the police have taken his passport.
00:20:19.140 But, I mean, you can still cross provincial borders in this country by car or by foot without a passport.
00:20:26.720 So, this is so bizarre.
00:20:28.220 But he's under a court order now.
00:20:29.480 He can't go anywhere else in Canada.
00:20:31.660 Absolutely outrageous.
00:20:33.140 But this is the country we now occupy.
00:20:35.800 This is the country we live in.
00:20:37.400 It is out of control.
00:20:39.520 The government is out of control.
00:20:41.120 We are losing our freedom.
00:20:43.220 And I'm not going to go on about the Online Harms Act today, but it is still possible this law will pass before the next election on October 2025.
00:20:54.380 And we have to be vigilant every day that the House is in session to keep criticizing this act and to keep stopping it from moving past first reading to second reading so we can buy some time.
00:21:07.960 Because once you get a bill passed, it's very difficult to repeal it.
00:21:16.740 Because the next government's reluctant to do that because suddenly that bill becomes a vested interest of so many people.
00:21:24.420 Suddenly that becomes a human right.
00:21:26.660 And the government doesn't want to be seen to be attacking a piece of human rights legislation.
00:21:35.240 And as twisted and distorted as that is when applied to Bill C-63, which is nothing but raw censorship that actually will prosecute people for thought crimes and put people in jail for life for so-called hate speech.
00:21:53.920 That's how the next government might look at it.
00:21:56.660 And they could drag their heels on this.
00:21:58.720 We need this bill killed as soon as possible.
00:22:04.300 And we need this bill never to see the light of day.
00:22:07.600 But that's why Tommy Robinson was arrested.
00:22:11.980 I'm going to turn to my last story.
00:22:14.820 You never hear me say anything nice about liberal MPs, do you?
00:22:18.020 Well, I'm going to say something nice about the PNMP, Chandra Arya.
00:22:23.600 He's the only MP that I know of who has criticized a moment of silence that occurred last Wednesday after question period.
00:22:34.220 You might remember if you were watching it with me.
00:22:36.740 The speaker announced, let's have a moment of silence now for this Sikh terrorist.
00:22:41.140 He didn't say Sikh terrorist, but that's who he was.
00:22:46.900 He was a Calistani terrorist in Canada and he was killed.
00:22:50.620 Trudeau thinks the Indian government ordered his assassination.
00:22:53.720 I say you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
00:22:56.160 And that's probably what happened to him.
00:22:57.360 But this guy had links to the air, India terrorist attack.
00:23:02.580 This guy was a scoundrel.
00:23:06.080 And MPs stood up to pay homage to him.
00:23:08.740 They gave him a moment of silence.
00:23:10.040 That is disgusting.
00:23:12.180 And this is the only MP who says he thinks it's disgusting.
00:23:17.180 Moment of silence limited a few great Canadians.
00:23:20.640 Niger, not one of these.
00:23:23.180 No, he wasn't.
00:23:24.080 And where the hell were the conservative MPs?
00:23:27.200 Why were they standing up with this guy, with the liberals and the NDP to honor this guy?
00:23:33.500 Why don't they have some guts at these key moments?
00:23:38.000 I'm very happy there was a Toronto MP elected as a conservative.
00:23:43.880 I'm not very happy when conservatives do this kind of nonsense and let us down.
00:23:48.840 And toady up and suck up to extremists and terrorists because they think it's going to buy a few votes.
00:23:57.640 That's unacceptable.
00:23:59.660 And I always tell you, I'll say the nicest things about peer polity and the conservative party when they say the right things.
00:24:07.200 When they fail us, I'm going to criticize them because I'm not carrying water for any political party.
00:24:13.260 I'm fighting for truth and I'm fighting for justice, fighting for free speech.
00:24:17.240 And I'm fighting against standing up and having moments of silence for people like this.
00:24:22.300 That's not happening in my Canada.
00:24:24.000 Anyway, I take my hat off to that liberal MP.
00:24:29.280 He's not going to get a single, single favor from Justin Trudeau and probably from the next leader because he violated liberal party policy.
00:24:37.580 Don't ever criticize the leader.
00:24:39.760 Don't ever criticize a decision made by the party.
00:24:46.540 So good for him.
00:24:47.800 If that doesn't sit well with some of my listeners, I'm sorry, but I've got to call a spade a spade.
00:24:54.700 That's what I'm here for.
00:24:56.040 That's what that's what I'm that's what I'm doing on this station.
00:24:59.360 So incredible news.
00:25:01.260 It's happening at breakneck speed.
00:25:03.760 The next thing we have to keep our eyes on are the parliamentary elections in France.
00:25:09.260 Where Macron is in Macron's party, President Emmanuel Macron, who wanted to start a war with Russia and send French divisions into Russia.
00:25:21.060 He's in third place.
00:25:22.260 His party's in third place in the parliamentary elections.
00:25:26.700 Just incredible.
00:25:28.960 And we're going to keep our eyes on that.
00:25:30.640 And the so-called far right, the common sense party of Lapine, is in first place.
00:25:43.060 So it's exciting what's happening around the world right now.
00:25:46.400 And we're still on the brink of nuclear war, of course, because of the idiocy displayed by the United States and NATO.
00:25:53.080 So not thinking that you can just you can't just have a little war with Russia.
00:26:00.460 That's not going to evolve into something catastrophic because it will.
00:26:05.700 And somewhere along the way, NATO lost its brains.
00:26:09.640 NATO lost its ability to think.
00:26:11.680 And it's being run and governed by a lot of low life lunatics who cannot think to save their lives.
00:26:20.020 And they are pushing us into a war with Russia.
00:26:24.160 And they don't give a damn about the consequences, the ramifications, and the fact that it's going to eat up the world in a fireball of nuclear destruction.
00:26:34.400 They don't care.
00:26:36.640 Anyway, that's all for today.
00:26:38.340 I'll be back again tomorrow.
00:26:39.460 And I think this is going to be the plan is to do an early broadcast throughout the summer from 9 to 10 or starting at 9, between 9 and 10 and talking about the news of the day.
00:26:54.580 And I think that's what we'll do without question period happens.
00:26:58.280 And it's going to be live.
00:26:59.240 And I invite your comments.
00:27:00.240 And I am going to start adding the comments tomorrow.
00:27:05.920 And I'll be responding to your comments.
00:27:09.140 And this is how we're going to be doing the summer here at Stand on Guard.
00:27:13.760 I hope you enjoy it.
00:27:14.840 I hope you think it's the right decision.
00:27:16.600 And we can always do more shows on whatever you think we should be doing, focusing on.
00:27:21.260 Thanks for your support.
00:27:23.020 This is the highest beer as I ever got on a live broadcast.
00:27:26.760 God bless you all.
00:27:27.880 And we'll be back again tomorrow.
