Transcript

00:00:01.000 Hi, this is David Creighton. I'm standing on guard for you. Welcome to another episode of Stand on Guard with David Creighton.
00:00:16.300 Maybe they're beginning to realize that Justin Trudeau is responsible for all this trouble.
00:00:21.580 Well, Justin Trudeau is responsible for all this trouble this week again, and he's had a truckload of trouble in the last week since we last talked last week.
00:00:43.680 There has been a lot of news. It's hard to keep up with the national news, to tell you the truth.
00:00:48.940 Every time I wake up in the morning, and I get up every morning around 6 o'clock to review the news and see what I'm going to write about, what we're going to talk about for the week, for the day, and it's just so much happening.
00:01:01.780 And there's never any such thing as a slow news cycle anymore, and it's been phenomenal.
00:01:08.760 But we're not going to be disappointed because, yeah, we're going to talk about Justin Trudeau and why he should be taking a permanent vacation.
00:01:15.780 And why should he be taking a permanent vacation?
00:01:19.040 Well, among a hundred other reasons, he did it again with his Christmas vacation.
00:01:25.180 We're going to be dealing with that very shortly.
00:01:28.220 But it's incredible to me how he never learns, does the same mistakes over and over again.
00:01:35.580 Remember that definition of insanity, you know, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?
00:01:41.380 Well, Trudeau seems to think he can go on these luxury vacations, largely on the taxpayer dime, or at friends of people who are associated with the federal government or with the Trudeau Foundation, and somehow no one's going to notice.
00:01:56.080 But we'll go in depth in that very shortly.
00:01:59.140 I wanted to share something with you this morning.
00:02:00.960 I'm very happy with this.
00:02:01.960 I did a story that should be up either today or tomorrow on The Post Millennial, and this is a fantastic documentary that's just been released.
00:02:13.340 And I'll show you a clip of it in a minute.
00:02:15.520 But it's by three brothers who have decided they've had enough of medically assisted death in Canada.
00:02:29.580 You know, it goes by this acronym MAID.
00:02:32.260 So they've very cleverly entitled their documentary MAID in Canada.
00:02:37.660 That's M-A-I-D in Canada.
00:02:40.740 But, you know, the problem with these acronyms is that we forget what this is really all about.
00:02:47.860 And even when we're talking about, you know, medically assisted death, it's medically assisted suicide.
00:02:56.900 And what it really is is euthanasia.
00:02:59.360 That's what this really is.
00:03:00.660 So I want to just play this clip.
00:03:03.700 Fantastic trio.
00:03:04.720 And I just talked to them this week.
00:03:07.380 The second installment of their documentary debuts tomorrow.
00:03:13.180 But just give a listen to this.
00:03:15.760 There was a very highly reported story, I guess about six months ago now.
00:03:21.300 And it wasn't a – it was a low-level functionary who recommended it.
00:03:27.560 But the fact that a veteran was told he could solve his problems by having medically assisted suicide, that shocked a lot of Canadians.
00:03:38.120 And it certainly, as a veteran myself, I certainly wouldn't want to go to Veterans Affairs and hear that that's my option.
00:03:46.240 And that's – or that's my preferred option is to kill myself.
00:03:51.540 Do you think that certainly bolstered the public knowledge of how dangerous this program is?
00:04:00.940 Oh, for sure.
00:04:01.680 And I think – so we have an episode coming out this Friday.
00:04:04.240 It's about that issue and specifically Canada's Heroes, we call it.
00:04:08.380 And it's featuring Christine Gauthier, who is the veteran that was injured during training in a military exercise.
00:04:16.560 And she was one of the first seven women in the combat arms, artillery, in the Canadian military.
00:04:21.260 And basically, instead of giving her a wheelchair ramp, which she'd been fighting for for five to six years, they had an outgoing call called and said, we can offer you MAID.
00:04:31.380 So instead of an essential service for her to be getting in and out of her house, they said, we can kill you.
00:04:36.720 And so that was – that was a shocking moment because she was literally – and one of the – one of the gentlemen who's a veteran, Mark Meinke, has a trauma recovery podcast.
00:04:46.000 He mentions in that episode, like, she was the literal poster woman, poster girl for the – for both the Canadian military in that unit, but also as a Paralympic world champion.
00:04:59.020 She was a five-time canoe world champion, paddle champion, and they offered to kill her.
00:05:04.420 To be suicidal and depressed, and having to fight that on top of everything else, to have someone, as you're battling this, trying to fight this off every day,
00:05:17.200 and you have somebody just candidly coming to tell you, you know, if you're really that fed up, and you really can't feel you can't go on anymore, you know, you have to write to die.
00:05:24.960 It made it sound so easy, so candid, so – just like that, it's done.
00:05:33.260 It – it was uncomprehensible for me.
00:05:36.140 If the heroes in our country are being offered MAID, there's something seriously wrong with Canada.
00:05:42.040 And I think that – I think that that is ultimately why, for myself, I really want this story to get out, and for Canadians to not just listen to this, but to actually watch it, and actually follow it, and actually talk about it.
00:05:53.520 Because we're talking about the soul of Canada.
00:05:55.760 Like, do we want a country where – and it's a bit of Murphy's Law, right?
00:06:00.280 If other countries are going to fight to prohibit death, but Canada is going to allow for it and broaden it, we're going to be a tourist destination for death.
00:06:09.080 I mean, we're already announcing that at a liberal government level, that this could be a tourist destination for death.
00:06:15.760 It's in the language on the government's website that, in some cases, we will allow for foreigners to enter Canada to get medical assistance in dying.
00:06:24.500 So we're already telling people – and, I mean, you talk about – I travel to Tanzania, India, these different countries, and there's always these travel advisories on the Canada government website.
00:06:34.800 Don't travel to Tanzania.
00:06:36.740 There could be an outbreak of Ebola.
00:06:37.940 Don't travel to all these places.
00:06:40.260 When are we going to put the thing on our own website for the government of Canada that says, don't travel to Canada because we could kill you?
00:06:47.700 Yeah, exactly.
00:06:50.140 We've become a tourist destination for suicide.
00:06:53.740 That's what medically assisted death adds up to.
00:06:59.060 And this is a horrible program to have in any country.
00:07:04.280 But, my God, what is it doing in Canada?
00:07:08.380 This is a powerful documentary.
00:07:10.720 I urge you to watch it.
00:07:13.100 And it is fantastic.
00:07:16.060 And you can look it up.
00:07:18.940 It's called Made in Canada.
00:07:20.840 M-A-I-D, small i, Made in Canada.
00:07:24.860 Their second installment debuts tomorrow.
00:07:27.600 It's fantastic material.
00:07:28.860 I've got an article about it coming out in the post-millennial today or tomorrow.
00:07:34.600 I urge you to read that, too.
00:07:36.740 But, you know, I'm a veteran myself, but I never had, or have up until now anyway, I've never had to go to Veterans Affairs and ask for any entitlements, any compensation, any assistance, any help.
00:07:51.160 But a lot of veterans have to do that.
00:07:55.600 And can you imagine going to Veterans Affairs and getting a slap in the face like that?
00:08:01.280 Some idiot suggesting that maybe you should just consider dying or killing yourself or having a doctor assist you in doing that.
00:08:09.200 Can you imagine getting that kind of reaction, especially if you've served your country in the capacity that some of these people have, where they have been injured in various ways, and it doesn't matter how, but they've been injured in the service of their country.
00:08:24.280 And this is the reaction they get.
00:08:25.460 Why don't you just kill yourself?
00:08:27.360 This is absolutely outrageous.
00:08:29.360 And it strikes me that we are definitely on a very dark path.
00:08:36.340 And, you know, as one of the brothers says in this, and I've got to call them out here, these Canadian filmmakers, Andrew Daniel and Matthew Koeman, they have put a lot of work into this, a lot of research.
00:08:48.400 They've done a lot of interviews.
00:08:49.700 And they're going to have perhaps up to seven installments on this.
00:08:54.180 And I'm going to watch them all because this is a very important issue for all Canadians, because when a country slides into euthanasia, it can slide into a lot of other totalitarian symptoms or totalitarian practices.
00:09:12.480 And Canada is becoming more and more totalitarian slash authoritarian, no matter how you want to look at it.
00:09:19.500 You know, whether it's because parents cannot protest a drag queen story hour at an elementary school or library now in the city of Calgary.
00:09:31.540 They can't do that.
00:09:32.460 It's against the law.
00:09:33.620 The parents, the protesters are going to be bundled up by the police and carted away.
00:09:39.840 Or whether you're talking about what happened with the Emergencies Act in Canada under Justin Trudeau, where peaceful protesters were mown over by the police at Trudeau's bidding.
00:09:52.700 A peaceful protest was shut down because they didn't like what the people were saying.
00:09:58.680 We are becoming more authoritarian.
00:10:00.060 And every totalitarian regime in the 20th century practiced euthanasia, most notably Nazi Germany.
00:10:10.600 And it is a practice that leads to a complete disrespect for life.
00:10:18.380 That's probably also why we have no abortion law in this country.
00:10:21.220 We have unrestricted abortion on demand.
00:10:23.460 Don't tell me these two issues are not connected.
00:10:25.680 We have a culture of death in Canada.
00:10:28.700 And this is what these guys are talking about.
00:10:30.420 So I wanted to flag that first thing.
00:10:34.520 Yeah, and we are going to get on to Trudeau.
00:10:36.780 We're going to get on to Trudeau because he has done so much this week to bring further disrepute upon his liberal government.
00:10:45.700 But I wanted to wander into this next area.
00:10:49.520 You know, thank God Twitter is now owned by Elon Musk.
00:10:52.220 And Elon Musk is going around and labeling all of the government-slash-state-funded media as that.
00:11:00.880 If they're getting money from their federal government, from the state, to do journalism, he's just simply identifying that.
00:11:09.480 He's not saying don't listen to them.
00:11:11.720 He's not saying don't take them seriously.
00:11:14.160 He's saying use your judgment.
00:11:15.640 If they're getting money from the state, maybe they're influenced by that money.
00:11:18.600 The problem in Canada, of course, is that CBC is getting $1.2 billion from the federal government.
00:11:26.160 But a myriad of other legacy media are also being subsidized by the government.
00:11:32.080 And all Musk did, of course, was identify CBC as state-funded.
00:11:36.060 And it is.
00:11:37.080 It is state-funded.
00:11:38.140 But, of course, you know, there was a – and this came about, actually, and I don't like to give politicians too much credit.
00:11:46.700 But the leader of the opposition and the Conservative Party of Canada up here, Paul, you have brought this to Mr. Musk's attention in a letter, you know, which I'm just looking at here.
00:11:56.740 And Musk did identify this.
00:12:02.700 Trudeau was outraged.
00:12:05.060 Justin Trudeau was outraged, not only that Elon Musk was going to identify as a state operative, but that Pierre Pollyev would dare bring this to his attention.
00:12:18.100 Just listen to this.
00:12:19.040 I think it says a lot about the Conservative Party of Canada, that they're choosing to constantly attack independent media organizations,
00:12:36.440 journalists who are working hard to keep Canadians informed and support our democracies.
00:12:41.680 CBC Radio-Canada serves right across the country, delivers local news and local content in many regions of the country that, yes, has been challenged over the past years.
00:12:59.140 But the idea of adding to that challenges and laying on, by attacking this Canadian institution, attacking the culture and local content that is so important to so many Canadians,
00:13:15.620 really indicates the values and the approach that Mr. Pollyev is putting forward.
00:13:21.820 I think it is telling that in order to attack this institution that is important for many, many Canadians, he runs to American billionaires, the tech giants that they continue to defend in committee and in their approach on our legislation to make tech giants pay their fair share.
00:13:47.120 Conservatives are always there to defend them.
00:13:48.740 So when they're trying to attack a foundational Canadian institution, the fact that he has to run to American billionaires for support to attack Canadians, says a lot about Mr. Pollyev and his values.
00:14:04.920 And that says a lot about Mr. Trudeau and his inability to tell the truth or identify reality as it really is.
00:14:12.320 I couldn't stomach any more of that.
00:14:14.180 I'm glad it ended when it did, because I was almost about to just preempt it.
00:14:17.240 It is so poisonous, so toxic.
00:14:21.100 What Pollyev is doing, of course, has nothing to do with supporting big tech.
00:14:25.640 Actually, people like Pollyev, conservatives, libertarians are very leery of big tech because big tech is all woke.
00:14:33.580 Big tech is what Elon Musk took over when he bought Twitter because big tech was on the liberal side.
00:14:39.240 So let's not go down this road, Trudeau.
00:14:43.120 This is absolute nonsense.
00:14:44.900 And what billionaire is you talking about?
00:14:47.460 You're the one who visits the billionaires.
00:14:49.760 And we're still getting to that one.
00:14:51.420 You're the one who hobnobs with the elite and the billionaires.
00:14:54.620 You know, you're the one who doesn't understand ordinary Canadians.
00:14:58.020 Wouldn't know one if you met one because you don't want to meet them.
00:15:00.940 These are people who have real jobs, which you've never had.
00:15:05.700 The point here is, this is, you know, of course CBC is owned by the state.
00:15:13.300 Of course it receives a massive amount of government money.
00:15:17.860 Nobody's saying it should be go out of business.
00:15:20.420 Nobody's saying it shouldn't survive.
00:15:22.080 And nobody's saying it doesn't occasionally do good journalism.
00:15:24.780 And we're going to get to one of those stories in a minute.
00:15:28.420 But it should be doing that on its own dime.
00:15:31.440 If it's such a darn good station, why can't it survive without government money?
00:15:39.780 I bet you could if it really tried.
00:15:42.720 Because good media can survive with an audience and with some commercial input.
00:15:50.100 And let's face it, the CBC, it's time to leave home.
00:15:53.860 I wrote a paper about this years ago saying it's time for the CBC to leave home and stop living in its parents' bedroom.
00:16:01.180 Because that's what it's been doing for years.
00:16:02.880 Grow up.
00:16:04.080 Get out in the real world.
00:16:05.980 And that's all Polly was saying.
00:16:07.620 So the funny thing is here, of course, the funny thing is, is that Trudeau says, you know, it's not.
00:16:14.500 CBC and Trudeau both complained about the Crown Corporation being labeled as a Crown Corporation.
00:16:22.460 As a state-funded organization.
00:16:25.280 So CBC pointed out it only received 69% of its funding from the government.
00:16:31.360 And the other was from advertising.
00:16:34.620 Other sources.
00:16:35.840 Largely advertising.
00:16:36.760 So, you know, ha, ha, ha, Elon Musk came back and said, okay, you're less than 70% government funded.
00:16:51.380 Actually, you know, 69.
00:16:53.080 So that was one of the funniest moments of the week.
00:16:57.340 But this is going back and forth.
00:16:58.520 Thank God someone like Elon Musk is running Twitter now.
00:17:02.680 Because we found out how Twitter is sharing its direct messages with intelligence agencies around the world.
00:17:10.740 That it's, that it was regularly meeting in the United States, at least, with Democratic figures and officials.
00:17:16.940 And state officials in the FBI and the Justice Department, which are now completely owned by the Biden administration.
00:17:25.480 He revealed that.
00:17:27.020 Hasn't revealed yet what happened in Canada.
00:17:28.980 But I bet you anything.
00:17:31.200 The Trudeau administration was in there.
00:17:33.040 The Trudeau liberals were in there in Twitter gathering information and telling them what to do.
00:17:39.060 Telling them what stories to put up and what stories to pull down.
00:17:42.200 And I've no doubt about that for a minute here.
00:17:45.560 But that was certainly one of the big stories.
00:17:48.160 We're going to get to my favorite of the week because I wrote my own story about this.
00:17:53.120 And that, of course, is Trudeau's luxury vacation in the Caribbean.
00:17:57.880 He went to Jamaica and went to a place called the Prospect.
00:18:02.360 Yes.
00:18:03.340 And this place, yeah, Prospect Estate.
00:18:07.220 This is a favorite spot of the rich and famous over the years.
00:18:12.760 Royalty has stayed there.
00:18:14.480 Winston Churchill stayed there.
00:18:16.640 Probably on his own dime.
00:18:19.220 But it turns out it's owned by a family named Green.
00:18:23.080 And the Green family just happened to provide a very expensive $180,000 scholarship to the Trudeau Foundation a couple of years ago.
00:18:33.180 So here's Justin Trudeau always saying he has nothing to do with the Trudeau Foundation.
00:18:39.020 Thank you.
00:18:39.920 That's my brother's project.
00:18:41.860 That's named after my father.
00:18:44.040 It's one of those things that I divested myself of a decade ago.
00:18:47.600 As his acolytes and his promoters in the House of Commons, the liberal house leader is always saying this.
00:18:56.200 Oh, you know, he divested himself of that a decade ago.
00:18:58.520 Well, somehow he likes to stay at the deluxe resorts of a family friend named Green, who is also a big donor to the Trudeau Foundation.
00:19:14.100 So I think Trudeau does have some connection there.
00:19:16.320 And this is quite funny because we don't know exactly how much he paid.
00:19:21.860 We know the cost of sending people down with Trudeau, largely security, costs $162,000.
00:19:30.740 Staying in one of these units right on the Caribbean can cost up to $9,000 a night.
00:19:39.620 So what do you suppose happening?
00:19:42.120 I just want you to watch this clip here.
00:19:43.700 I just want you to watch this clip here.
00:20:13.700 This is about influence and power for the super-rich.
00:20:17.160 So why won't he answer?
00:20:18.640 How much should he pay in accommodation per night at this luxurious villa?
00:20:22.700 Thank you, Honourable Prime Minister.
00:20:26.860 I guess, Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition struggles with the concept of friendship, Mr. Speaker.
00:20:31.600 My father was godfather to one of their kids.
00:20:35.780 Their father was godfather to one of my brothers.
00:20:38.940 This is 50 years of friendship, Mr. Speaker.
00:20:41.740 But, of course, we work with the ethics commissioners to make sure everything, all the rules were followed.
00:20:47.020 But if the Leader of the Opposition wants to talk about friendships,
00:20:50.840 let's talk about the fact that he's running to his American billionaire tech giant friends
00:20:55.920 to attack the local news that Canadians are relying on.
00:20:59.700 Shame on him for going after Canadian content, Canadian news, Canadian things that people care about.
00:21:05.800 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:21:07.700 The only thing Canadian about the Prime Minister's vacation is the tax dollars forced to pay for it, Mr. Speaker.
00:21:15.640 But he refuses to answer the question.
00:21:18.260 He knows that these powerful interests are buying influence
00:21:22.900 while making the Prime Minister more out of touch with the people on whom he is imposing his inflationary taxes and deficits.
00:21:30.200 This is consistent with having already been found guilty for taking a quarter-million-dollar vacation from a billionaire
00:21:36.380 that was seeking a government grant from him.
00:21:38.520 If he's got nothing to hide, will he tell us, did he take these $9,000-a-night billas for free?
00:21:46.780 Well, we never got an answer from Trudeau.
00:21:49.880 I suspect the answer is it was obviously a gift from his donor friend or it was a taxpayer gift.
00:21:57.580 And eventually we will find out about that.
00:22:02.180 But it goes to show you the depth of the hypocrisy.
00:22:05.560 Obviously, this has got nothing to do with Pierre Paglia trying to shut down Canadian content.
00:22:11.200 What is he talking about?
00:22:14.040 The very fact that Pierre Paglia brought up this issue illustrates his concern about Canadian content
00:22:22.480 and the fact that Canadian taxpayers are once again being put through the ringer by Justin Trudeau and his vacations.
00:22:30.260 Has there ever been a Justin Trudeau vacation that went right?
00:22:33.360 Remember the Aga Khan?
00:22:35.080 He was actually on the verge of being charged by the RCMP for fraud for that one.
00:22:39.620 But they decided it wasn't in the public interest to do so.
00:22:43.320 Do you remember the trip to India?
00:22:44.580 India, the biggest embarrassment, probably, of Trudeau's tenure.
00:22:49.620 You know, he's out there preening in the traditional Indian garb that ordinarily woke people like Trudeau would be saying is a cultural appropriation.
00:23:00.620 But he's out there every day forcing his poor family, of course, to pose with him for the cameras.
00:23:06.360 It was a nightmare of a trip, disaster of a trip.
00:23:08.760 But every time he goes for a trip, there's ramifications and consequences that are negative for him, sometimes for Canada, too,
00:23:16.920 because he embarrasses not only himself, but the whole country.
00:23:20.720 Anyway, I want to get on to the next thing because we've got so much and I don't want to bore you too much today.
00:23:27.160 But we've got there is so much happening right now.
00:23:30.900 And, of course, the China scandal continues to widen.
00:23:34.420 And China's interference in our Canadian elections and how deep this goes.
00:23:39.980 And they brought up last week, last Friday, the prime minister's chief of staff, Katie Telford,
00:23:48.040 was brought before the committee that's examining Chinese interference.
00:23:54.260 And, of course, I've never seen anybody sit longer in front of a committee and say absolutely nothing of importance.
00:24:02.540 She's obviously very good at her job, which is to say nothing of importance.
00:24:08.060 That's what those jobs are for.
00:24:10.240 But absolutely interesting in terms of what she did say.
00:24:17.360 I just want to show you this clip here because, once again, Member of Parliament Michael Cooper,
00:24:23.220 conservative member from Edmonton, once again was there with some tough questions.
00:24:28.840 And I just want to show you this.
00:24:29.660 Madam Chair, Ms. Telford, through you, Madam Chair,
00:24:33.100 10 weeks before the 2021 election, Bob Soroya, the then Member of Parliament for Markham, Unionville,
00:24:41.360 received a cryptic and threatening text message from Beijing's Consul General in Toronto
00:24:48.580 suggesting that he would no longer be a Member of Parliament after the 2021 election.
00:24:55.800 Were you, the Prime Minister, or anyone in the PMO briefed or otherwise have knowledge about that text message?
00:25:07.760 Madam Speaker, Madam Chair, I can't speak to this information.
00:25:18.260 And I, yeah, I can't speak to that information.
00:25:23.340 I'm sorry.
00:25:23.880 You can't speak to the information because you don't know?
00:25:26.840 Why can't you speak to this information?
00:25:28.760 No, and because, as I said before, as frustrating as it is for both of, all of us,
00:25:33.000 is I can't get into confirming, let alone denying information
00:25:38.900 and going beyond the bounds of the security heads who were here before me.
00:25:43.120 Well, I find that very, very interesting that you will not confirm
00:25:48.400 whether you have knowledge of that text message.
00:25:51.020 What an articulate woman that she couldn't quite get her head around the question.
00:25:59.640 Of course, she knew exactly what the question was about.
00:26:02.180 She just didn't want to answer it because we know Trudeau knew all about this
00:26:09.080 long before he ever admitted he knew about it.
00:26:11.920 He knew about the Chinese interference.
00:26:14.340 He knew that China was financially interfering.
00:26:17.880 It was coercing members.
00:26:19.140 He just revealed that was quite newsworthy on the spot there
00:26:23.100 that this member of parliament, you know, was a victim in this scheme.
00:26:29.340 And this is something Trudeau will not discuss because now he's got this rapporteur,
00:26:37.120 you know, someone else who was a board member of the Trudeau Foundation
00:26:41.100 and the former governor general of Canada, David Johnson,
00:26:45.360 an old friend of the Trudeau family.
00:26:47.200 And he's put this in Johnson's lap and, you know,
00:26:50.380 and relinquished any responsibility for it.
00:26:53.660 And this is very convenient, of course, but nobody's buying this.
00:26:56.300 Of course, Trudeau knew all about this.
00:26:58.840 And everything points back to Trudeau on this Chinese interference scandal,
00:27:07.160 you know, as it continues to do.
00:27:09.380 So I find it's quite interesting.
00:27:11.360 And here's another exchange between Paliyev and Trudeau on this.
00:27:16.820 Well, it's definitely a family business for this prime minister,
00:27:20.120 whether it was the We Charity paying his brother and mother money,
00:27:24.020 the prime minister claiming to know nothing about it as he handed a half billion dollars
00:27:27.400 over to that organization, or the Trudeau Foundation,
00:27:30.520 which got $140,000 from the dictatorship in Beijing for the specific purpose
00:27:36.560 of influencing his decisions in politics.
00:27:39.900 But now we know that his brother, his own brother,
00:27:43.660 was the one that negotiated and signed the deal to receive the money.
00:27:47.820 Will the prime minister accept to call his brother to a parliamentary committee
00:27:50.760 to answer questions about this?
00:27:52.360 The Honourable Government House Leader.
00:27:56.920 The Leader of the Opposition knows well that the prime minister
00:28:00.020 has not been involved with that foundation for approximately a decade,
00:28:05.520 that his fixation with the prime minister's family is well known
00:28:10.180 for its partisan interests, and that he wishes to pursue those partisan interests,
00:28:14.660 Mr. Speaker.
00:28:15.480 But the prime minister and the government is not engaged with that foundation.
00:28:19.520 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:28:21.020 Well, if the prime minister has nothing to hide
00:28:23.700 and no relationships whatsoever with the foundation,
00:28:26.680 he'll have no problem inviting his brother to testify
00:28:29.740 before a parliamentary committee under oath about the money
00:28:32.860 that the foundation received for the specific purpose
00:28:35.420 of influencing the prime minister.
00:28:38.440 Yeah, and we'll be waiting for hell to freeze over
00:28:41.820 before we see Alexandra Trudeau, the prime minister's brother in question there,
00:28:48.620 show up to any House of Commons committee
00:28:50.840 and testify as to what he knew and when he knew it,
00:28:54.020 or what Justin Trudeau knew and when he knew it.
00:28:57.620 So the China scandal continues to widen.
00:29:01.300 And Trudeau is beset right now with a series of problems and issues
00:29:07.100 that aren't going away.
00:29:07.800 Of course, we're in the middle of a federal strike right now,
00:29:11.000 Public Service Alliance of Canada.
00:29:13.300 150,000 government workers have gone on strike.
00:29:16.620 So much for the old sunny ways with Justin Trudeau and his government workers.
00:29:24.020 And I don't know.
00:29:25.400 He might try back-to-work legislation, which would be very unliberal of him,
00:29:29.980 very illiberal.
00:29:30.780 But who knows?
00:29:33.960 It depends how bad things get.
00:29:37.420 And of course, few Canadians really have much sympathy for these public service workers
00:29:42.540 because they've got it pretty good.
00:29:45.240 And they weren't really affected by COVID-19, by the lockdowns,
00:29:49.960 by the loss of work, by unemployment, the way a lot of average Canadians were.
00:29:55.980 They went right through it working from home.
00:29:59.940 So there's not a lot of sympathy for them.
00:30:01.560 So Trudeau might actually get away with back-to-work legislation.
00:30:04.200 And he will try anything right now to divert attention from the struggles,
00:30:10.040 the problems, as he would say, the challenges that he's going through.
00:30:14.820 And they are innumerable right now.
00:30:16.540 And China is not going away.
00:30:19.360 Every week we learn more about how the prime minister is immersed in this problem,
00:30:25.300 not distanced from it.
00:30:26.840 He's immersed in it.
00:30:28.860 And this latest vacation scandal, I just find it incredible that this man never learns from past mistakes,
00:30:38.840 that even if everything was above board and kosher and correct,
00:30:43.100 it's the optics of this man going to an opulent resort for a week over Christmas.
00:30:51.240 While so many Canadians are struggling to put food on the table because of inflation
00:30:55.840 and having trouble heating their homes and driving their cars because of Trudeau's carbon tax,
00:31:02.820 how can he have the audacity, the nerve, the gall,
00:31:05.960 to go to the Caribbean, lay in the sun for a week at $9,000 a night?
00:31:12.720 Only Justin Trudeau can be that shallow.
00:31:16.600 But he continues to be.
00:31:17.840 And he continues to be that stupid when it comes to making decisions.
00:31:23.480 And I will mention this vacation story was actually broken by Radio Canada,
00:31:31.000 which is the French branch of the CBC.
00:31:33.040 So sometimes the CBC, despite getting their government money, will do an honest story.
00:31:38.680 And when they do, I applaud them for it because I'm not here.
00:31:42.400 I'm not here to be a politician.
00:31:45.340 I'm not here to say this party is the only party that ever says it right.
00:31:49.100 I can tell you the liberals rarely ever say it right.
00:31:52.920 I can tell you that.
00:31:54.500 And Trudeau almost never says it right.
00:31:57.120 But if somebody does something in a good way and does something,
00:32:02.980 I have to applaud.
00:32:03.820 I will applaud it.
00:32:05.680 Anyway, it's been an exciting week.
00:32:07.440 It's been so nice to meet with you again, to talk with you again.
