How difficult is it to attack Champollièvre when you're down in the polls, there's open
00:00:04.840
dissent in your caucus, some people are calling for the Prime Minister's head, so how difficult
00:00:11.600
So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:17.680
We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:30.000
Well, welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard.
00:00:36.700
That was our environment and climate change minister, the very feeble Stephen Gilboa.
00:00:45.300
And you can see exactly how incompetent that man is when he doesn't have a script in front
00:00:53.680
He just is so used to softball questions from the compliant press corps in Ottawa that when
00:00:59.100
he gets faced with some really tough questions by some independent media.
00:01:04.160
And my old friend Julie Van Dusen was there from CPAC, and she does ask tough questions.
00:01:19.420
But Gilboa is so hopeless, so pathetic as a minister that he just was fell apart during
00:01:28.800
He goes to Quebec City and crashes the Conservative Party convention because he says, well, they
00:01:36.180
Well, no, they don't have to have liberal observers there.
00:01:46.480
Why would you want liberal observers there nattering about in the background, talking to the media
00:01:51.240
about how the Conservative Party is so far right?
00:02:02.280
So Gilboa decides to go to the convention himself and present himself.
00:02:12.680
He showed exactly how bad he is when he doesn't, as I say, have a script, the talking points
00:02:20.400
in front of him, and he's not getting those nice, easy questions.
00:02:23.600
Or he's not in question period already with the response in front of him.
00:02:28.260
But believe it or not, you know, he probably thinks he did a great job.
00:02:33.040
Let's watch some of this because it is fascinating.
00:03:04.300
I'm not going to say much more because Gilboa hangs himself.
00:03:09.740
He talks about, oh, these clean energy jobs are worth so much money.
00:03:20.580
This is a man who's entirely incapable of doing a job, doing a real job.
00:03:25.880
This is why he was a Greenpeace activist for most of his life, pulling stunts, getting arrested,
00:03:35.740
Canadian store is a Canadian success story when looking at investment in clean technologies
00:03:43.240
70% of the investments we've seen in the last year in renewable energy has been in Alberta.
00:03:48.560
I find it baffling that the premier would put a stop to $30 billion worth of clean technology
00:04:00.040
And if I can go to China, if I can go to India and say we all have to work together to fight climate change
00:04:06.880
because we're all in this together, it's because we're doing our homework here.
00:04:10.480
We're doing what we need to do to tackle climate change and climate pollution.
00:04:18.740
This is the ass who just went to China because he's a member of a Communist Party controlled environmental committee.
00:04:27.140
Does he think he's going to twist the arm of China that's producing one third of the greenhouse gases in the world today?
00:04:36.080
He's going to make China reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
00:04:40.020
He's going to make them play the game with him, is he?
00:04:48.240
For people who don't understand the expression, I'm not talking about the movie.
00:04:56.660
A lot of you probably saw my interview with Dan a couple of weeks, about two weeks ago.
00:05:02.960
He's now the president of Canadians for Affordable Energy.
00:05:07.820
Nobody is more critical of the Trudeau government.
00:05:16.540
And just listen to what this former Liberal MP from the Greater Toronto Area talks about.
00:05:23.700
He's a useful idiot by another country to come out and spout these things off.
00:05:27.680
He is a Marxist, and there's no doubt that his comments and his reputation,
00:05:31.560
anybody who's done a bit of research on this man,
00:05:33.760
will come quickly to the conclusion he's the last person you should have in Parliament,
00:05:40.620
Where I come from, in my generation of Liberals, that would be considered seditious and potentially treasonous.
00:05:54.820
This is a former Liberal MP talking about a man he calls a Marxist and a Manchurian candidate and a useful idiot.
00:06:06.460
Now, the laws on those are very, very vague and very, very specific in terms of what constitutes that.
00:06:16.000
And the very mere fact that the media is not playing into this and understanding the implications is extraordinarily dangerous.
00:06:22.700
He's not there to convince China that they should use less.
00:06:26.200
If he were willing to do that, he'd be going and saying,
00:06:28.340
hey, we've got a lot of natural gas to offer you and you can use that as a substitute to coal.
00:06:32.320
Instead, he's going there to get a good pat on the head and try to pretend that he's going to hurt Canada while giving China a pass.
00:06:42.780
And the mere fact that we have far less any authority looking into this,
00:06:46.900
the mere fact the Privy Council office would allow something that gets to happen in the PMO,
00:06:52.720
This is the same party that has corrupted our democratic process by permitting the Chinese to manipulate it.
00:06:58.600
And I agree with those out there, say it may be other countries, Iran in particular,
00:07:02.220
because we have a number of people who have received donations and been doing very well here in the GTA
00:07:12.860
That aside, this is a very dangerous precedent.
00:07:15.760
The fact that it's being given a pass is, in my view, far more appalling than any issue I see in this country.
00:07:22.340
Where is the public inquiry that has been demanded?
00:07:26.060
Where is the public inquiry to restore the integrity of our institutions?
00:07:29.460
Perhaps you have to be a contributor to the Liberal Party to become a judge in this country.
00:07:35.080
But that aside, this situation with Mr. Guivo, I think, spells what is wrong,
00:07:40.920
and why our country and its institutions are on a precipice of collapse that will put Canada in a position
00:07:49.160
And that's joining the third world in terms of its rank as it been in the Republic.
00:07:53.840
That's a damn good summation from Dan McTeague, isn't it?
00:08:01.060
that China is not going to have their arm twisted to stop producing greenhouse gases.
00:08:05.160
And if Guivo was at least a bit serious, as Dan says, he'd be selling them natural gas.
00:08:15.040
But he's not prepared to do that because he hates natural gas, too.
00:08:23.080
And he wants to sentence you, as a Canadian, to be living in a cave without heat,
00:08:28.460
unable to drive your car, and unable to fly to see your loved ones or take a vacation
00:08:32.700
in an aircraft because it's going to be grounded.
00:08:42.320
And I think Dan summarizes this very well when he talks about the craziness,
00:08:48.400
the idiocy of these Trudeau environmental policies
00:08:52.760
that are going to bring catastrophe to this country.
00:09:00.560
There's just so much more of this incompetent minister.
00:09:05.840
Did you ask your colleagues on the Chinese Communist Party Climate Committee
00:09:08.940
whether or not they would quit interfering in Canadian democracy,
00:09:13.820
I have spoken with human rights issues when I was in China just last week.
00:09:21.540
Do you have any actual data to back up what you're doing?
00:09:27.080
Or is it all just whatever the government of China tells you to do?
00:09:31.720
Do you take money from the government of China yourself?
00:09:37.260
How do you not see the conflict of interest that is coming out of this?
00:09:42.540
but you're the only one bold enough to actually do anything
00:09:50.260
at the expense of moms and dads who can't keep their house warm
00:09:59.800
that they are going to freeze to death this winter
00:10:02.560
if they haven't been burned alive by a forest fire
00:10:11.780
my friend, a fellow journalist from the Encounter Signal.
00:10:38.680
Somehow they've got this backwards, don't they?
00:11:28.460
We're going to turn things around for the government.
00:11:50.280
we invited all political parties to come as observers.
00:11:55.780
In fact, it was denied to all political parties,
