00:00:00.000 You said you were considering military force to acquire Panama and Greenland.
00:00:07.340 Are you also considering military force to annex and acquire Canada?
00:00:11.180 No. Economic force.
00:00:13.700 Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something.
00:00:18.540 You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like,
00:00:23.820 and it would also be much better for national security.
00:00:26.340 Don't forget, we basically protect Canada.
00:00:30.000 Yes, they do protect Canada to a large degree because our military is so woke.
00:00:38.940 It's even more woke than the U.S., and it's in a pretty desperate situation thanks to nine years of Trudeau government.
00:00:46.600 Welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard.
00:00:48.940 I am your host, David Crayton.
00:00:50.800 Thank you for joining me today.
00:00:52.680 I've got a number of issues I want to walk through with you.
00:00:55.820 And when we come back, we're going to look at some of the responses again to Donald Trump,
00:01:03.320 but then I want to get into the real guts of the program, which is about disinformation
00:01:08.160 and how if you oppose the liberal government, you're always on the wrong side.
00:01:16.140 It doesn't matter.
00:01:16.940 We'll be right back.
00:01:29.280 We need a political change.
00:01:34.740 But we also need to resolve to resist.
00:01:37.460 We need a political change.
00:01:37.600 We need a political change.
00:01:46.140 Yes, please like the station.
00:01:48.220 Subscribe if you haven't already done so.
00:01:50.120 You might have to resubscribe because people do get unsubscribed on here.
00:01:54.740 Isn't that odd?
00:01:56.900 But appreciate all the support you've learned.
00:02:00.280 And it's always, always appreciated as we get into another new year here.
00:02:06.740 But I neglected to put up just in, well, Pierre Polyev's response to Donald Trump, and I was
00:02:15.700 remiss in doing that.
00:02:17.340 So I wanted to just put that here and read it to you because I think it's a good response
00:02:25.300 because, of course, Pierre Polyev's in a difficult position, and it would help if Donald Trump
00:02:30.060 knew he existed.
00:02:30.840 And Donald Trump needs to stop saying that Wayne Gretzky should run for prime minister.
00:02:36.620 You can't run for prime minister in this country.
00:02:39.620 You run as an MP, and if you're the leader of a party that wins the most seats, you become
00:02:44.560 prime minister.
00:02:46.300 It's not like running for president.
00:02:48.540 I don't know if he realizes that or not.
00:02:50.320 But no, he should recognize that Pierre Polyev is going to be the next prime minister.
00:02:57.660 Every poll indicates that.
00:03:00.460 Wayne Gretzky is not even a member of a political party, as far as I know, and really has lost
00:03:06.220 contact with Canada to a large degree.
00:03:09.100 So it's quite interesting.
00:03:10.640 I don't know why Trump is so hung up on Wayne Gretzky.
00:03:16.500 And I'll say this again.
00:03:18.620 He needs to get acquainted with Pierre Polyev.
00:03:20.920 That's who he's going to be dealing with.
00:03:22.520 And I think Polyev is presenting a credible, legitimate, and very valid negotiating stance.
00:03:32.560 And he says, Canada will never be the 51st state, period.
00:03:35.000 We are a great and independent country.
00:03:36.740 We are the best friend to the U.S.
00:03:38.480 We spent billions of dollars and hundreds of lives helping Americans retaliate against
00:03:42.820 Al-Qaeda's 9-11 attacks.
00:03:45.040 We supply the U.S. with billions of dollars of high quality and totally reliable energy,
00:03:49.540 well below market prices.
00:03:51.940 We buy hundreds of billions of dollars of American goods.
00:03:54.780 So stop talking about this trade deficit.
00:03:58.440 And let's get on with these.
00:04:01.000 Our two countries have been historically linked.
00:04:04.420 We've always been great friends.
00:04:05.600 We've helped each other.
00:04:06.820 You know, one of my favorite war movies is The Devil's Brigade.
00:04:09.560 And it's about a special forces unit that was established during the Second World War that
00:04:14.820 was joint.
00:04:16.880 Yeah, that's the right word.
00:04:18.040 Is it combined?
00:04:18.740 No.
00:04:19.440 No.
00:04:21.400 Combined is when you got, yeah, it was a combined force.
00:04:25.520 Yeah.
00:04:26.020 Joint is when it's inter-service.
00:04:28.060 Combined is when you have different countries involved.
00:04:30.220 So it was a combined force of Canadians and American special forces that did some wonderful
00:04:35.920 things together.
00:04:37.240 That's the example of what Canada and U.S. can do together.
00:04:43.660 So Pollyov continues. 0.96
00:04:44.640 Our weak and pathetic NDP liberal government has failed to make these obvious points. 0.92
00:04:48.560 I will fight for Canada. 0.95
00:04:49.480 When I am Prime Minister, we will rebuild our military and take back control of the border
00:04:53.300 to secure both Canada and the U.S.
00:04:55.480 We will take back control of our Arctic to keep Russia and China out. 1.00
00:04:59.420 We will axe taxes slash red tape and rapidly greenlight massive resource projects to bring
00:05:05.660 home paychecks and production to our country.
00:05:08.020 In other words, we will put Canada first.
00:05:11.220 And you know, Trudeau, all he could say was there isn't a snowball chance in hell that
00:05:15.140 Canada would become part of the United States.
00:05:19.480 Here's how Elon Musk responded to Justin Trudeau's comment.
00:05:24.300 Girl, you're not the governor of Canada anymore.
00:05:27.160 So it doesn't matter what you say.
00:05:29.560 Well, he's still the governor of Canada because he hasn't resigned yet.
00:05:33.460 And we have to bear that in mind.
00:05:35.760 Every day, we have to bear that in mind.
00:05:38.260 Trudeau has not resigned.
00:05:40.640 And don't think for a minute this is all going to happen by March 24th.
00:05:45.400 They haven't even started the leadership.
00:05:47.400 And we'll get on to that.
00:05:48.580 But I love this.
00:05:51.440 Miss Justin.
00:05:53.160 As I said the other day,
00:05:56.920 Viral Paliyev has matured over the years as a member of Parliament.
00:06:04.480 Justin Trudeau has done the obverse.
00:06:06.380 He's become more immature over the years to the point now he's a teenage girl trading friendship bracelets at Taylor Swift concerts.
00:06:16.140 The guy has gone backwards.
00:06:18.840 He's discovered the little girl in himself.
00:06:22.320 And it's quite obvious who I think we should have as prime minister.
00:06:27.200 Anyway, that says it all.
00:06:31.620 Pictures worth a thousand words.
00:06:33.120 That's it.
00:06:33.520 Now, I want to have a look at this story here first because this was a Black Locks reporter.
00:06:42.660 They broke this story through an access information request about how Karina Gould, yes, Karina Gould, the liberal house leader.
00:06:57.300 This is the same person who invited a former member of the Vafen SS.
00:07:04.660 I probably can't say N-A-Z-I on air or I'll get in trouble.
00:07:11.340 Former member of the Vafen SS.
00:07:12.900 We know who they were tied to.
00:07:15.300 To come to Canada's parliament in the gallery.
00:07:19.840 Well, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky spoke.
00:07:27.000 And when it was revealed, when we discovered, and I was one of the first couple of people to break this story.
00:07:35.300 When we discovered that this was a former Vafen SS member.
00:07:40.720 Karina Gould said, well, let's let's hide the fact.
00:07:43.940 Let's pretend it never happened.
00:07:45.280 Let's censor it.
00:07:46.480 Let's redact it from the record, from the parliamentary record.
00:07:49.640 Let's pretend it never happened.
00:07:51.800 Yeah, how Orwellian.
00:07:54.160 But here is somebody inviting these people who belong to politically extreme parties.
00:08:02.500 And yet, Karina Gould used taxpayer money to go after conservative party political opponents and freedom convoy political opponents. 1.00
00:08:16.680 Now, this is a great story from Sheila Gunn-Reed at Rebel News.
00:08:19.280 I don't often put up whole reports, but this is an excellent report.
00:08:23.220 Sheila is a great reporter.
00:08:24.620 And thank you so much to our friends at Rebel News.
00:08:29.640 And they are friends.
00:08:31.680 I know many of them.
00:08:34.360 And they've been doing a great job for years.
00:08:36.820 Let's have a look at this report here.
00:08:37.920 Liberals.
00:08:38.920 Liberals.
00:08:39.060 Access to information records obtained by Blacklock's reporter revealed that federal funds were handed out under Heritage Minister Karina Gould's so-called digital citizen initiative to smear political opponents of the Liberal Party, namely conservatives, and anyone else who dares to challenge the Liberal agenda.
00:08:56.020 Let's break this down.
00:08:58.080 Gould, who launched the program in 2019 under the guise of internet fact-checking, is the same government leader who recently stood in the House of Commons and applauded Yaroslav Hanka, an actual Nazi.
00:09:13.040 We have here in the chamber today Ukrainian-Canadian world veteran from the Second World War who fought the Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today, even at his age of 98.
00:09:31.720 Yeah, you heard that right.
00:09:40.860 The same Liberals who gave a standing ovation to someone who fought with the Waffen-SS are funding research projects accusing conservatives and the Freedom Convoy of being tied to, quote, far-right extremism and national socialist ideology.
00:09:57.800 Yeah.
00:09:58.420 I think that phone call is coming from inside the House.
00:10:00.800 I mean, here is Karina Gould lovingly clutching the hands of this actual Nazi. 0.63
00:10:07.060 Gould even wanted any evidence of her celebrating this Nazi deleted from the official parliamentary record of Hansard.
00:10:15.360 I would like to ask for unanimous consent to adopt the following motion, that notwithstanding any standing order, special order, or usual practice of the House,
00:10:24.780 the recognition made by the Speaker of the House of an individual present in the galleries during the joint address to Parliament by His Excellency Vladimir Zelensky be struck from the appendix of the House of Commons debates of Thursday, September 21st, 2023, and from any House multimedia recording.
00:10:42.660 Thank you, Mr. President.
00:10:45.660 Oh, yes.
00:10:48.920 I guess we have to go to the, we'll ask about unanimous consent, then go to it.
00:10:52.780 You see, the Liberals don't want you to know, they invited Hanka, and then security cleared him to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelensky.
00:11:03.360 Now, back to Gould's weaponization of government programs for her McCarthyistic witch hunts for Nazis under the hoods of any convoy trucks in the cab of every combine and tractor in this country. 0.95
00:11:15.920 A project at Carleton University, funded by the Digital Citizen Initiative, costing taxpayers $99,000, boldly claimed that the Canadian red enzyme, our national flag before 1965, is a, quote, hate-promoting symbol.
00:11:30.620 Imagine that, a proud symbol of Canada's history, defiled and mischaracterized by crazy activists posing as researchers.
00:11:40.500 They even hosted teacher workshops to train, whatever that means, educators on how to convince students that the Freedom Convoy and other grassroots protests are somehow rooted in hate and extremism.
00:11:53.680 Then there's Simon Fraser University, which raked in $95,500 for a similar project, of course, painting the Freedom Convoy as a, quote, hate movement.
00:12:05.320 Never mind that no protesters were charged with hate crimes.
00:12:08.580 Facts don't seem to matter in these McCarthy-style witch hunts funded by the government.
00:12:14.140 And here's the kicker.
00:12:15.400 The entire initiative was launched without parliamentary oversight.
00:12:18.600 No committee ever scrutinized this $19.4 million disinformation program.
00:12:26.160 This isn't just wasteful spending.
00:12:28.200 It's a deliberate attempt to silence dissent and demonize everyday Canadians who don't fall in line with the Liberal agenda through unfounded reputational damage.
00:12:38.000 All the while, the Liberals continue to turn a blind eye to modern-day Nazi Hamas apologists running amok on the streets of Canadian cities week after week.
00:12:49.560 Enough is enough.
00:12:50.440 No government fund should ever be used to attack political enemies or rewrite history.
00:12:57.140 Yes, exactly.
00:12:58.980 I'm going to take this one step further, because if you think that's it, you're wrong.
00:13:05.180 If you think that's all this government has been doing with your tax dollars to defame, to sully the reputation of people who disagree with them, they're using the Internet in a big way with influencers.
00:13:21.800 And the money that's being spent there is a whole different aspect to this.
00:13:28.580 But before I get there, I thought it would be nice to put on this interview with Tamera Leach and Chris Barber, who were on Fox News the other day, to talk about Justin Trudeau's coming resignation.
00:13:43.160 And, of course, these people were targeted by the Trudeau government as extremists, as people who were dangerous.
00:13:53.160 To resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader, this country deserves a real choice in the next election.
00:14:07.400 And it has become clear to me that if I'm having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.
00:14:17.500 Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing his resignation today, triggering a wave of debate about what comes next for our neighbors to the north.
00:14:27.160 And it's a growing conservative movement.
00:14:29.360 Let's bring in Canadian activist and Freedom Convoy organizer Tamera Leach, along with Canadian truck driver and business owner Chris Barber.
00:14:36.720 Thank you both for coming on.
00:14:37.800 Chris, to you first.
00:14:38.700 You heard Trudeau speaking there.
00:14:40.180 I mean, he's the head of the government, that during the convoy protest that you were a part of, froze the bank accounts.
00:14:46.100 We all remember that very well.
00:14:47.820 Invoked the Emergencies Act and went after people like you and Tamera.
00:14:53.880 What do you think about his resignation, Chris?
00:14:57.360 I think it's about time.
00:14:59.800 Canada needs a change in this country.
00:15:01.400 We've been through the most vicious, tyrannical mandates in the last nine years, including the COVID mandates under Trudeau.
00:15:10.220 We've been in trouble up here for quite some time.
00:15:12.080 So this is welcome news, although it isn't good enough with him just stepping down.
00:15:16.220 We would have liked to have seen him lose in an election.
00:15:18.980 Yeah.
00:15:19.880 It's interesting because, Tamera, to you, the Toronto Sun writes the following here.
00:15:23.620 The headline is, it was canceled women who canceled feminist Trudeau.
00:15:27.640 It goes on.
00:15:28.500 The irony is, self-declared feminist prime minister ended up being taken down by his battles with women. 0.94
00:15:33.980 In the end, while Trudeau may have been fired, Jody Wilson-Raybould, Christia Freeland, Julia, Julie Payette, and Tamera Leach,
00:15:42.580 the collective bruising he took from those episodes led to his demise.
00:15:46.580 So you're one of the names they mentioned as bringing him down.
00:15:50.120 What do you think about that, Tamera?
00:15:52.820 Well, I'm very happy to see him leaving, obviously.
00:15:56.120 I think it's long overdue.
00:15:57.360 I think what we achieved in Ottawa, we were very successful at exposing the man that he actually is,
00:16:03.780 which is essentially an ideologically authoritative politician.
00:16:10.300 So, you know, I'll take it.
00:16:13.280 It's a win.
00:16:14.380 Yeah, it really is a win.
00:16:15.940 And I'm wondering as you go and you look toward the future, because there's a lot of talk now, Chris,
00:16:22.660 of the opposition leader, Pierre Polyev, who said the following today, and I'll get your comment.
00:16:28.960 Watch.
00:16:30.680 While leaderless liberals focus on saving their jobs and fighting each other for power,
00:16:35.260 the country spirals out of control.
00:16:37.600 An out-of-control housing emergency, an out-of-control migrant crisis, 0.98
00:16:41.840 and out-of-control $62 billion deficit, not to mention tariff threats from the United States.
00:16:47.760 What would you say about that, Chris?
00:16:51.480 We've seen some devastating years in Canada as of late.
00:16:54.780 We've seen record housing crisis.
00:16:56.620 We've seen record deficits.
00:16:58.240 We've, under Trudeau, in the last nine years, this country has seen some of the worst economics in the history of Canada.
00:17:04.660 And so this is, it is something that needs to happen.
00:17:07.500 It is time for him to call this and call an election.
00:17:11.020 Yeah, and I'm wondering if the list of things that Chris just kind of went through there, Tamara,
00:17:17.080 is really, is that the driving factor?
00:17:19.960 Or is it part and parcel of Trump being voted into office, of just this getting tired of these liberal policies?
00:17:26.940 What do you think?
00:17:28.400 Well, I think Trump getting elected is definitely a factor.
00:17:31.680 It's put a lot of pressure on the Canadian politicians to stand up and do something about the problems that Pierre Polyev just mentioned.
00:17:40.500 Yeah, and Chris, to you, that very same question, is this just a snowball that keeps getting bigger?
00:17:47.340 And right now it's happening in the U.S. and in Canada, but you kind of see symptoms of this around the globe.
00:17:54.500 It's the wokeism in the world right now that's allowing this to take part.
00:17:58.960 We need to stand up, like what we did with Freedom Convoy in February of 2022.
00:18:03.300 We stood to tyranny.
00:18:05.620 And since we've stood, Tamara and I have been running through the courts for the last three years.
00:18:10.900 Lawfare has been at an all-time high in this country right now,
00:18:14.240 especially towards anyone that had the audacity to stand up to Trudeau and his government throughout those COVID vaccine mandate years.
00:18:20.760 And while Chris was talking, we're showing pictures of both Chris and Tamara being arrested.
00:18:25.760 Tamara, I've got about 10 seconds left for you. 0.77
00:18:27.940 What are your final thoughts on this legal process as it goes forward?
00:18:31.760 Well, it's been frustrating.
00:18:33.260 It's been time-consuming.
00:18:34.420 It's been very expensive.
00:18:36.080 And we are looking forward to a conclusion on March the 12th.
00:18:39.500 We should be getting our verdict.
00:18:40.720 So it'll be nice to finally close that chapter.
00:18:43.920 Yeah.
00:18:44.220 Tamara Lynch, Chris Barber, best of luck to both of you.
00:18:46.820 Thank you for coming on.
00:18:48.400 And, of course, I will be there on March the 12th to report on that verdict.
00:18:54.700 I've been following this trial since it began, oh, my God, two years ago, this Labor Day.
00:19:01.020 These people have been through so much.
00:19:02.960 My heart goes out to them because I really have come to really love and respect both of these great Canadians.
00:19:10.560 And they have put everything in their life into this.
00:19:14.700 And thank God they stood up for freedom in this country when a lot of other people were afraid to do so.
00:19:22.060 They started something.
00:19:23.440 And I think what they started during that freedom convoy in 2022, that horribly cold winter of 2022,
00:19:31.960 that February was the beginning of a new birth of freedom in Canada.
00:19:37.640 There's no question about that in my mind.
00:19:40.340 Now, to get back to disinformation and propaganda coming from the Trudeau government.
00:19:48.140 It's still the Trudeau government.
00:19:49.400 He has not resigned yet.
00:19:52.340 What's going on here?
00:19:54.040 Well, there's also, it's not, this government loves to pay for social media influencers.
00:20:01.820 Health mentor Mark Holland echoed the comments and invoked fears over foreign interference,
00:20:08.260 saying governments such as Russia's are using modern technologies to destabilize democracies by questioning what is and isn't true.
00:20:17.140 He oversees the federal bodies that are shelling out the most for influencers.
00:20:21.420 With Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada spending more than 1.3 million.
00:20:26.140 Why is Health Canada paying social media influencers to advertise liberal government policies and attack conservatives?
00:20:39.820 Why?
00:20:41.120 How are they getting away with this?
00:20:42.960 This is just one government department.
00:20:44.960 And you know what, folks?
00:20:45.800 It's happening in all government departments.
00:20:48.960 This is one of the most unreported stories of the Trudeau years.
00:20:53.280 We've talked about it a couple of times.
00:20:56.480 I did a story on it for the Post Millennial about a year ago.
00:21:00.020 They are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on social influencers.
00:21:07.480 And it's bad enough that they're spending the money.
00:21:10.700 But the principle to use taxpayer dollars for partisan warfare,
00:21:17.960 to fight political opponents, is unacceptable in a democracy.
00:21:23.280 But they've been doing this for years.
00:21:27.060 And I can show you more.
00:21:29.840 Because this is absolutely shocking.
00:21:34.340 You remember Cat Canada?
00:21:37.800 She's now working for Counterpoint, by the way.
00:21:40.140 Excellent publication.
00:21:42.140 She met Chrystia Freeland when she came out to Ottawa to attend the Canada Strong and Free Conference.
00:21:48.660 She was sharing a seat with Chrystia Freeland.
00:21:52.880 She says, after a chat in the plane, she asked me for my Twitter handle,
00:21:57.460 because according to Freeland, they're always looking for influencers to get the message out.
00:22:03.240 And I gave it to her.
00:22:04.460 So, I distinctly remember that happening.
00:22:14.240 I mean, that was incredible.
00:22:16.760 And here's another piece of that.
00:22:20.240 Landed in Ottawa.
00:22:21.700 Look who I ran into.
00:22:23.600 Can you wave to my followers on Twitter?
00:22:25.360 Sure.
00:22:25.840 Hi.
00:22:26.100 That was crazy.
00:22:27.580 And I'm not joking when I said...
00:22:32.580 It's loud.
00:22:35.100 I'm not joking when I said that she told me they're looking for influencers
00:22:40.820 to get the message out.
00:22:45.920 Because that's the only way they can get the message out these days.
00:22:50.480 Do they pay these influencers?
00:22:52.860 And obviously, I was joking when I said, should I apply?
00:22:59.020 Anyways, she didn't know who I was.
00:23:03.280 Good thing you'd be on a blacklist.
00:23:06.020 Well, yes, they do pay these social media influencers.
00:23:08.880 They pay them big bucks.
00:23:10.780 Because it's part of the propaganda campaign.
00:23:13.080 It's part of dealing with disinformation and misinformation.
00:23:16.880 That concept is dying around the world right now.
00:23:19.940 But you still hear it from the lips of these liberal government leaders in Canada.
00:23:25.080 And you can bet you're going to be hearing it throughout that leadership campaign,
00:23:28.520 if it continues.
00:23:30.380 Because they love it.
00:23:32.220 It's an excuse for them to come down on their political opponents.
00:23:37.020 If you don't agree with them, you're spreading disinformation.
00:23:40.100 If you don't agree with them, you're obviously lying.
00:23:43.240 You're the one with the problem.
00:23:45.560 But you know how tone-deaf the liberals are. 0.95
00:23:50.500 It amazes me how tone-deaf the liberals are.
00:23:53.940 This is a story.
00:23:55.140 Incredible.
00:23:58.860 All they've gone through in foreign influence, right?
00:24:03.540 I mean, it's so obvious that these people have no sincerity in their bones.
00:24:08.980 Not a twinge of sincerity in their hearts or minds.
00:24:16.360 Because we just went through this, what really, I think, has been a worthless inquiry into foreign interference,
00:24:24.940 because it was hijacked by Trudeau at the end,
00:24:28.560 to be all about the Conservative Party being the ones benefiting from China.
00:24:35.080 Or the fact that it's not China, it's India that's interfering.
00:24:40.740 You remember that narrative.
00:24:44.640 But Liberal MPs are even expressing concern over the party rules
00:24:50.400 that are going to allow 14-year-old kids
00:24:54.240 who are not even citizens of Canada.
00:24:57.660 I mean, this is one for the books.
00:25:02.920 As currently written, party rules allow anyone at least 14 years old
00:25:06.740 and who, quote, ordinarily lives in Canada, unquote,
00:25:11.880 to become a registered Liberal,
00:25:13.480 giving them the ability to vote in the upcoming leadership race
00:25:17.060 and help determine Canada's next Prime Minister.
00:25:19.460 Yeah, it's not just going to be the Liberal leader.
00:25:21.980 14-year-old kids who aren't even citizens or aren't even landed immigrants
00:25:30.580 just happen to be in Canada.
00:25:35.880 They are going to decide who the next Prime Minister is.
00:25:40.160 This is why we've got to have an election.
00:25:42.480 We've got to have an election sooner rather than later.
00:25:47.300 We cannot allow this farce to continue
00:25:51.280 with this Liberal leadership campaign
00:25:53.340 that will go on for months and months.
00:25:58.320 We've got to have an election a lot sooner than that.
00:26:02.720 Yeah.
00:26:04.680 And here's a CTV story that sort of sums it up.
00:26:07.180 Preparing to enter the race to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
00:26:11.040 concerns are being raised over the Liberal Party of Canada's
00:26:14.600 rules for selecting a new leader.
00:26:17.580 CTV's Ben Milger is here to explain.
00:26:19.900 Ben, what is the issue?
00:26:21.700 Mejung, the party's bylaws outline the criteria
00:26:24.340 for who is eligible to vote.
00:26:26.600 They need to be over 14 years of age 0.99
00:26:28.840 and registered with the party,
00:26:30.560 but they don't need to be Canadian citizens
00:26:32.820 or even permanent residents.
00:26:35.140 That doesn't sit well with some MPs
00:26:37.080 who want the rules tightened
00:26:38.540 before the race officially begins.
00:26:41.040 It does open up the party
00:26:43.000 to the potential of interference
00:26:45.000 from outside nefarious actors.
00:26:47.560 So if they are going to allow the same membership rules,
00:26:50.660 then they have to tighten up other procedures.
00:26:52.980 Those concerns were echoed by a number of Liberal MPs
00:26:56.520 as they made their way into a caucus meeting
00:26:58.720 in Ottawa today.
00:27:00.440 Also present at that meeting,
00:27:02.100 Liberal Party brass,
00:27:03.300 who will ultimately be responsible for deciding
00:27:05.780 if the rules should be changed.
00:27:07.960 It's been a topic of conversation
00:27:09.620 for Liberal MPs here in BC
00:27:11.660 since Trudeau announced he would be stepping down.
00:27:14.740 Party of Canada's...
00:27:16.020 We will only be the ones who have that ability.
00:27:18.180 This is a very real concern.
00:27:19.380 We intend to...
00:27:19.920 BC, since Trudeau announced he would...
00:27:21.920 Does he look a little too happy?
00:27:25.200 Or is it just me?
00:27:26.480 Why does Trudeau look so chipper?
00:27:29.500 Is he really resigning?
00:27:31.980 Is this an incredible show
00:27:34.520 he's putting on here?
00:27:36.480 I'm beginning to think it is.
00:27:39.500 Because there's no way.
00:27:41.120 They haven't even started a leadership campaign.
00:27:44.720 There's one...
00:27:45.540 One person has declared...
00:27:48.020 Dominic LeBlanc says he's not going to...
00:27:49.900 Not going to run.
00:27:51.360 He doesn't want it.
00:27:52.840 So what are we down to?
00:27:54.680 People who have like 6% support?
00:27:58.600 There's not even a favorite candidate.
00:28:01.280 This is not going to happen.
00:28:04.100 Oops, sorry.
00:28:04.740 Here, I did it again.
00:28:05.400 Since Trudeau announced he would be stepping down.
00:28:10.700 I can tell you on behalf of the cops in British Columbia,
00:28:13.460 this is a very real concern.
00:28:14.820 We intend to raise that concern today.
00:28:16.840 And we intend to explain not just why it's important,
00:28:19.860 but the message that it sends to Canadians
00:28:21.500 of ensuring that Canadians and then PRs
00:28:24.720 who are hopefully going to become Canadians
00:28:25.880 will only be the ones who have that ability.
00:28:30.060 Important to note here,
00:28:31.160 other parties also allow non-Canadians
00:28:34.000 to vote in their leadership races.
00:28:35.940 That includes the Conservatives led by Pierre Polyev.
00:28:39.060 But they do require voting members to at least be permanent residents.
00:28:43.620 Trudeau has left his party with a very short runway to pick his replacement.
00:28:48.060 So we should know very soon whether the Liberals plan to tighten up their rules.
00:28:52.400 Mijang? 1.00
00:28:52.600 All right, thank you, Ben.
00:28:53.520 All right, so a tight runway.
00:28:57.120 It's an impossible runway. 1.00
00:28:59.940 How stupid are the national media to not see this? 1.00
00:29:05.460 There's not going to be a leadership race decided in two months. 1.00
00:29:10.660 And that's what we're going to be down to very soon,
00:29:13.340 because they haven't even started.
00:29:16.900 It is absolutely incredible to believe
00:29:20.560 that any political party could wrap this up in two months.
00:29:25.720 But you can see what the process is going to be like.
00:29:28.120 This is going to be an absolute circus,
00:29:32.940 just like Parliament's been. 0.94
00:29:34.020 It's going to be a clown show
00:29:35.120 where you're going to get candidates once again 0.72
00:29:39.520 paying people to come out to vote.
00:29:44.200 Teenagers.
00:29:45.140 What do we have to entice them with?
00:29:49.080 I mean, this is how crazy this is.
00:29:51.340 They're going to be...
00:29:52.660 We're going to have this campaign
00:29:55.840 absolutely dominated by the corruption
00:30:00.620 that has persisted
00:30:03.180 and has defined the Liberal government.
00:30:06.040 It's going to...
00:30:07.000 If this leadership campaign actually unfolds,
00:30:10.840 and I have my doubts that it will,
00:30:13.140 it's going to be dominated
00:30:14.360 by the same element of corruption.
00:30:16.960 Because we're going to have
00:30:18.400 these candidates buying votes.
00:30:24.040 And there's a whole lot of people...
00:30:26.100 If you don't have to be a citizen of Canada,
00:30:28.060 you don't even have to be 18.
00:30:29.820 You can be 14.
00:30:31.760 I mean, that is just beyond the pale.
00:30:34.720 But that's what we've all come to expect
00:30:37.260 from this Liberal government.
00:30:41.100 So bear with me for a second.
00:30:43.380 I just want to show you the merchandise ad.
00:30:45.940 And by the way,
00:30:46.600 it's one of our latest here.
00:30:47.840 Keep calm and carry on.
00:30:50.240 This has become a new favorite.
00:30:52.700 I encourage you to have a look at the store.
00:30:55.680 The merchandise there.
00:30:56.960 This has become £30,000.
00:30:59.700 I'll save you.
00:31:00.020 Love you.
00:31:02.200 Love you, too.
00:31:02.420 Love you, too.
00:31:03.860 Love you, too.
00:31:04.580 Love you, too.
00:31:05.020 I'll save those previously.
00:31:05.540 Alright.
00:31:06.120 I'll share these together.
00:31:06.500 Thanks for your
00:31:20.660 love and pour another others.
00:31:22.040 Thank you.
00:31:22.380 Bye, too.
00:31:22.780 Bye, too.
00:31:23.340 Bye, too.
00:31:24.480 Thank you.
00:31:24.920 Bye, too.
00:31:25.260 Bye, too.
00:31:25.360 Bye, too.
00:31:26.000 Bye, too.
00:31:26.420 Anyway, tomorrow,
00:31:35.660 my special guest
00:31:36.560 is going to be
00:31:38.120 somebody who has really,
00:31:41.060 really
00:31:41.780 understands
00:31:43.720 that there's only one option here.
00:31:47.320 There's only one option
00:31:48.940 to stop this
00:31:50.160 liberal government.
00:31:54.800 And
00:31:55.520 and it's going to,
00:32:00.200 it's, I've got,
00:32:02.900 my guest is going to be
00:32:05.120 the Justice Center for Constitutional Change,
00:32:09.280 which is bringing a lawsuit
00:32:10.580 against,
00:32:13.400 and it's James Manson.
00:32:15.760 I just had to,
00:32:17.680 I'm sure I had James Manson
00:32:19.100 of the Justice Center for Constitutional Change.
00:32:21.960 He's got the file.
00:32:23.260 He has got the file
00:32:25.880 to challenge
00:32:26.840 the legality of
00:32:28.540 Justin Trudeau
00:32:29.540 proroguing parliament.
00:32:30.940 That might be the only option
00:32:32.800 we have
00:32:33.380 is to stop this
00:32:34.920 in the courts
00:32:35.580 because this is unraveling
00:32:37.840 before our eyes.
00:32:39.440 So that,
00:32:40.200 my guest tomorrow,
00:32:41.200 we're going to be talking about that.
00:32:43.140 10 o'clock tomorrow,
00:32:44.040 be there.
00:32:44.480 This will be fascinating
00:32:46.280 because I tell you,
00:32:47.760 this might be the only option we have
00:32:50.180 of getting through this crisis right now.
00:32:54.240 We need a new government
00:32:55.640 to deal with Donald Trump.
00:32:58.280 We need a legitimate government
00:33:00.260 to deal with Donald Trump,
00:33:01.740 not the Justin Trudeau government
00:33:03.700 that cannot speak for Canadians.
00:33:07.420 And Donald Trump needs
00:33:08.740 to get to know
00:33:09.340 Pierre Paulio.
00:33:10.820 These two have got to meet
00:33:12.720 and Trump has got to stop talking
00:33:15.120 about Wayne Gretzky
00:33:16.040 being the next prime minister.
00:33:18.060 Obviously,
00:33:18.860 it's not going to happen.
00:33:21.000 And
00:33:21.140 Wayne Gretzky
00:33:22.940 doesn't even want it.
00:33:25.800 And I don't think
00:33:26.980 an endorsement
00:33:27.940 by Donald Trump
00:33:28.640 would get
00:33:29.080 at this.
00:33:30.520 And so,
00:33:31.200 I mean, 0.89
00:33:31.380 it's all silly talk, 0.60
00:33:33.080 but this is serious. 0.72
00:33:35.260 We've got to get
00:33:36.280 we've got to get down to business
00:33:38.020 and we've got to move on.
00:33:40.180 So thanks for watching today, folks.
00:33:42.400 Be back tomorrow
00:33:43.660 when we talk about
00:33:45.700 the constitutional challenge
00:33:47.380 to Trudeau proroguing parliament.
