A new poll shows that a majority of Canadians think that Pippa Middleton is better than Justin Trudeau at least 8 points ahead of him in the race to become Prime Minister of Canada. Conservative support is on the rise, and the Liberals are losing ground. Meanwhile, a new report from the New York Times reveals that the FBI is investigating the Trump administration for possible collusion with the Russian government.

00:00:00.000 Welcome back to Stand on Guard with David Creighton.
00:00:03.480 We're standing on guard.
00:00:04.560 We've got a great story coming up about Pier Polly versus Justin Trudeau.
00:00:09.920 It's going to be a lot of fun.
00:00:11.580 That's what my yoga teacher tells me every morning.
00:00:13.740 But I think this show is going to be even more fun than that.
00:00:17.520 But we'll be back in just a minute.
00:00:21.020 So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:23.960 We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:53.960 I'm going to start off with a reason you should be watching this show,
00:00:58.080 because you're going to hear news here that you're not always going to hear in mainstream media.
00:01:02.620 And this story coming up here.
00:01:06.160 According to a new Abacus Data poll, and that's the organization run by David Coletto.
00:01:13.080 Used to run into David all the time when he was sort of the official pollster for Sun News.
00:01:18.220 He had that brief sojourn with that station as a writer, editor, producer.
00:01:24.420 It was a real rollercoaster ride.
00:01:27.400 Unfortunately, I'm no longer with it, but David Coletto is still doing polls.
00:01:31.780 And interesting, very interesting story.
00:01:35.320 You know, he asked Canadians, who do you think is more competent, Justin Trudeau or Pier Polly?
00:01:44.900 And a majority answered Pier Polly.
00:01:47.360 He was eight points ahead of Justin Trudeau.
00:01:51.020 Well, you know, you might say only eight points.
00:01:54.100 Well, I think it should have been higher.
00:01:58.080 But it's interesting to note that where he really outdistanced Trudeau in this poll is on believability.
00:02:07.060 And in terms of whether the man is sincere or not.
00:02:11.480 And by a 13-point margin, those familiar with Pier Polly and those familiar with Justin Trudeau said Justin Trudeau was much more apt to represent himself with views that are not his or to present views or not to present the views that are really his.
00:02:33.300 So, in other words, he has a hidden agenda.
00:02:36.580 And that's what liberals have been saying about conservatives for decades now.
00:02:40.900 Conservatives have a hidden agenda.
00:02:42.400 Well, clearly, it's Justin Trudeau who has the hidden agenda.
00:02:46.420 Ah, and the really good news coming for the conservatives this week is from a Nanos poll.
00:02:55.260 It came out about the same time.
00:02:56.620 And this is very interesting.
00:03:00.680 Very interesting indeed.
00:03:04.500 Because we find out that Pier Polly's conservatives are surging ahead of the liberals.
00:03:15.000 And this is extremely interesting.
00:03:18.900 And I think it does not bode well for the liberals.
00:03:25.600 Because you see their support is hemorrhaging.
00:03:28.280 If you look at this here, 27%.
00:03:32.100 Conservatives are staying fairly steady with 35%.
00:03:36.840 There's not much bleed there.
00:03:39.980 But the liberals are losing.
00:03:41.840 They're hemorrhaging support apparently.
00:03:44.580 You know, a poll can only tell you so much.
00:03:46.140 But apparently to the NDP, that seems to be who's picking up the numbers here.
00:03:50.980 So, and I was the first one to predict that the NDP would collapse as a result of this fusion with the liberals.
00:03:59.260 This unofficial accord that they have.
00:04:04.660 This non-aggression pact, if you will.
00:04:07.120 But it appears that the NDP are picking up support from the liberals.
00:04:10.960 Because it looks like, well, if the liberals are just like the NDP, why not vote for the real thing?
00:04:17.660 And that seems to be what people are doing here.
00:04:20.240 So, I found this extremely interesting.
00:04:23.260 And it goes to show you, politics can go any which way.
00:04:29.920 And the best planning, the best anticipation, the best strategy, sometimes comes to nothing.
00:04:41.100 But this is very interesting.
00:04:43.100 Now, I want to move our next topic here, which is, I found this absolutely fascinating.
00:04:48.760 Completely fascinating.
00:04:49.840 Because it's about the Durham report.
00:04:52.200 And you say, well, what's the, you mean Lord Durham?
00:04:54.620 No, I mean, John Durham in the United States.
00:04:59.620 He was a special counsel appointed to look into the Department of Justice and the FBI.
00:05:05.540 And his report was damning.
00:05:08.760 Essentially has said the FBI ignores the law when it's going after political enemies.
00:05:15.800 Ignore the law, political enemies.
00:05:18.080 These are the key words.
00:05:19.260 These are the key words to understand here.
00:05:22.620 And it's extremely interesting.
00:05:25.720 Because Donald Trump was put through hell over this Russia collusion hoax.
00:05:33.220 And over all of these people associated with Trump who had their rights violated with these
00:05:39.120 visa applications that were not properly filed.
00:05:42.080 It should never have happened.
00:05:43.600 They had their lives overturned.
00:05:45.180 And John Durham, yeah, he's the guy in the right there.
00:05:49.600 He's saying the FBI ran roughshod over rights.
00:05:54.160 But how is the liberal media in the States dealing with this?
00:05:58.260 Well, interestingly enough, how do you think they're dealing with this?
00:06:02.340 I want to show you this clip from NBC News.
00:06:05.440 Because it is just literally astounding what the liberal media is doing here.
00:06:14.320 I just want you to watch this.
00:06:15.820 Because you wouldn't believe it if I just described it.
00:06:19.580 What's in this thing and what are we learning?
00:06:24.800 It's an exhaustive look at what the investigation codename Crossfire Hurricane.
00:06:31.520 And there are a lot of different rabbit trails that this report goes down.
00:06:35.280 But I think fundamentally what it does is it suggests that the FBI should not have opened
00:06:40.380 this investigation in the first place.
00:06:42.420 And that, as you said, it did so too hastily based on uncorroborated information.
00:06:48.020 And that basically the FBI was suckered by a bunch of people with political agendas.
00:06:52.900 Now, the problem with this thesis is that it runs directly contradictory to another independent
00:06:58.200 report by the Justice Department's inspector general back in 2019, which took an exhaustive
00:07:02.880 look and found that, in fact, there was proper predication for this investigation.
00:07:07.480 If the FBI acted appropriately in opening it and also found no evidence, no demonstrable
00:07:12.460 evidence of political bias in doing it.
00:07:14.980 Now, obviously, one of the agents involved, a man named Peter Strzok, was found later through
00:07:19.720 text to have expressed, you know, animus towards Donald Trump.
00:07:23.060 He was not a Donald Trump fan.
00:07:24.240 But he was not the only decision maker here.
00:07:26.080 There were others.
00:07:26.720 And, look, there's a lot of different aspects to this report.
00:07:30.640 I mean, one of the cases that Durham tries to make is that information about potential
00:07:35.140 counterintelligence threats involving the Clinton campaign was treated differently.
00:07:39.600 But what he doesn't address is the context was so different.
00:07:42.780 Here you had Donald Trump, who was publicly asking the Russians to find 30,000 missing emails
00:07:48.480 from the Hillary Clinton server, who was expressing admiration for Putin.
00:07:52.580 That was the context that Durham really doesn't address in his report.
00:07:55.120 Look, the other thing is there have been a lot of policy changes because there were some
00:07:59.760 serious flaws in how the FBI approached, particularly its applications for foreign
00:08:04.280 surveillance warrants.
00:08:05.540 And the rules have been entirely overhauled in that respect.
00:08:08.460 There's also a new rule that says the attorney general has to approve any investigation into
00:08:12.560 a political candidate or political campaign.
00:08:14.720 And a lot of people would say that makes perfect sense, given the stakes here.
00:08:18.840 Ultimately, this investigation, as everyone knows, did not find formal coordination between
00:08:24.320 the Trump campaign and Russia, but it found a series of troubling contacts.
00:08:28.400 And a Senate Intelligence Committee report, bipartisan, went even further and said that
00:08:33.340 those contacts posed a counterintelligence threat to the United States because the Trump
00:08:37.040 campaign essentially opened their arms to help from the Russians.
00:08:41.100 Ken, I mean, obviously, this is going to get a ton of attention, especially on the right.
00:08:44.820 I'm looking at my truth social app now.
00:08:46.820 Donald Trump has just posted.
00:08:48.000 He says the American people, the American public was scammed.
00:08:53.280 Yeah.
00:08:54.020 Yeah. 0.98
00:08:54.360 And anyone watching that news station is being scammed because this is absolute jackass reporting. 0.97
00:09:03.840 I have never seen worse reporting. 0.99
00:09:05.400 This clown of a reporter is struggling to find something good to say about the FBI and to 0.93
00:09:12.980 assuage the damage that this special counsel, independent of the government, and certainly 0.94
00:09:21.740 independent of any forces from Donald Trump, said about the FBI.
00:09:26.480 He wants to limit the damage.
00:09:28.740 He's in damage control.
00:09:30.280 Is he working for the FBI or NBC News?
00:09:32.840 Or is there any difference?
00:09:35.220 We know that the Department of Justice in the United States was actively working with
00:09:40.120 social media to silence conservative media, to silence Republicans, and to promote the
00:09:47.600 Democratic Party and Joe Biden.
00:09:50.360 NBC News is apparently in on this, too.
00:09:52.200 This is a travesty of reporting.
00:09:54.560 And I show you that to illustrate just how bad, bad reporting can be.
00:10:00.980 And that not only threatened to go the limit, it did go the limit.
00:10:05.980 So all I can say is read credible sources about the Durham report if this interests you.
00:10:14.480 And it should.
00:10:15.340 Because believe me, if this kind of nonsense can happen with the FBI, it can happen with
00:10:19.500 the RCMP in Canada.
00:10:21.280 And we've already seen how the RCMP has become politicized, how they have politicized investigations
00:10:28.640 and prosecutions.
00:10:31.000 And this is an example in the United States of where this can go.
00:10:37.400 So I want you to have a look at that.
00:10:41.260 We're coming to another story.
00:10:43.580 It's an absolute outrage.
00:10:46.240 But after three years of a Chinese consulate official running roughshod over the rights of
00:10:57.740 Canadians, Justin Trudeau finally decided to ask him to leave the country.
00:11:04.200 We're talking, of course, about Zhao Wee.
00:11:06.080 He was the individual in the consulate in Toronto who was actively spying on Canadian
00:11:15.760 citizens, Chinese Canadians living in this country, who happened to oppose China on their
00:11:22.620 policy towards the Uyghurs, towards Falun Gong, towards other religious minorities.
00:11:30.040 And he was telling the staffers of liberal MPs to keep your bosses away from those pro-Tibet
00:11:38.640 or pro-Taiwan people.
00:11:43.260 And this is, you know, it just makes you absolutely, absolutely livid.
00:11:49.800 So I actually put together a nice piece for the Epoch Times, which I'm writing for right
00:11:56.380 now, about this incident and saying, why did it take three years?
00:12:01.140 Trudeau would never have acted unless the issue of Michael Chong's family being spied upon,
00:12:08.320 being surveyed in Taiwan, had not reached his desk in the form of press clippings.
00:12:15.920 Clearly, somebody in that office knew about Michael Chong's family being targeted by the
00:12:22.360 Chinese secret police.
00:12:24.240 But Trudeau did nothing.
00:12:26.840 They also reported on Zhao's misdeeds while he was serving in Canada, what he was up to.
00:12:35.800 Three years, he's been up to this.
00:12:38.420 Trudeau did nothing.
00:12:40.260 Absolutely nothing.
00:12:42.520 And that is completely, completely unacceptable.
00:12:48.280 But that's what we've come to expect from this government.
00:12:51.280 They only act when it's, they have no other possible solution.
00:12:57.080 And clearly, people were enraged that a sitting MP, a former cabinet minister, could have his
00:13:04.560 family targeted by China.
00:13:08.940 And they were even more outraged, and they discovered this had been going on for a long
00:13:12.700 time with all kinds of other Chinese Canadians.
00:13:15.720 Were these people not just as important?
00:13:18.640 Did China have a right to target them?
00:13:23.080 No.
00:13:24.380 But that's how the Strudeau government is operating.
00:13:28.880 Now, we're going to move to our next story here, which is really quite something.
00:13:33.800 And it's an exchange between Pierre Polyev, leader of the official opposition, and health
00:13:38.340 minister Carolyn Bennett. 0.60
00:13:40.900 This pathetic excuse for a cabinet minister, because she's not a health minister. 1.00
00:13:46.440 She's an unhealthy minister. 1.00
00:13:48.380 What she's pushing, the policies she's pushing. 0.92
00:13:50.220 These liberal drug policies are killing people.
00:13:53.460 But you've got to, you really have to have to see this to believe it, because it's, it's
00:13:58.880 just, just incredible.
00:14:07.940 I'm not seeing it.
00:14:10.540 Ah, finally.
00:14:12.100 All right.
00:14:12.860 I'll do it again.
00:14:14.800 All right.
00:14:16.600 All right, again.
00:14:17.360 I'm going to move to the next story now, because this is really, is another video that has
00:14:22.560 to be seen, as we believe.
00:14:24.060 It's an alter, it's, I was going to say an altercation.
00:14:26.540 It's a, it's an exchange between official opposition leader, Pierre Polyev, and health
00:14:33.760 minister, Carolyn Bennett. 0.92
00:14:35.640 Now, this pathetic excuse for cabinet minister is she really should be called the unhealthy 1.00
00:14:40.180 minister, because she's pushing very dangerous drug policies for Justin Trudeau, who's, who's 0.97
00:14:45.720 lax on drugs.
00:14:46.780 I mean, let's face, he's very, he's very soft on, on drug policy.
00:14:50.300 In fact, I think he would, he would probably push for legalization of all hard drugs if
00:14:54.880 he thinks he could get away with it politically.
00:14:57.400 Because really, it's, that's what he's all about.
00:15:00.760 That's, that's what he's all about.
00:15:02.320 But this is, this exchange really, really has to be seen to be believed.
00:15:06.340 People are dying because the policies of this prime minister are killing them.
00:15:15.220 He is, his policies are flooding the streets with drugs that now go for a dollar a hit.
00:15:22.360 You can buy 26 hits of hydromorphine, which is an analog to heroin, for $30, Mr. Speaker.
00:15:32.120 This is drugs, these are drugs paid for by Canadian tax dollars under a program by this
00:15:37.700 government that has led to a 300% increase in drug overdose deaths.
00:15:42.740 Why won't they get some common sense and dollars for drugs and put our people in treatment? 0.96
00:15:48.080 The Honourable Minister for Mental Health.
00:15:54.080 Order.
00:15:54.560 People have to stay alive long enough to get to treatment.
00:16:01.260 People are dying because of the toxic, tainted drug supply.
00:16:06.720 When people are on safe supply, the CMAJ article yesterday talked about less drug use, less overdoses,
00:16:15.560 less, less petty crime.
00:16:17.040 This is an evidence-based project and program that meets the test of evidence and science,
00:16:25.440 not a journalist who only will speak to the people who disagree with him.
00:16:30.660 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:16:33.740 The theory is that if the Prime Minister puts $100 million of hydromorphine on the streets,
00:16:40.520 that people won't use more dangerous drugs.
00:16:42.420 The reality, in both reports from the National Post, the Globe and Mail, and the data from
00:16:49.820 the ground, is that the addicts are taking the hydromorphine, selling it to kids, taking
00:16:55.220 the profits to buy fentanyl, dying of overdoses.
00:16:58.680 The kids then get bored of the hydromorphine and they take deadly fentanyl.
00:17:02.500 That's why people are dying.
00:17:04.200 Will the government stop the policies that are killing people and put our people in treatment
00:17:09.260 instead?
00:17:12.420 Yeah.
00:17:14.080 No, they won't because they have subscribed to this theory of something called a safe injection
00:17:21.300 site.
00:17:21.600 There's five of them in Vancouver alone.
00:17:24.760 That happens to be the city in the province with the highest rate of overdoses.
00:17:30.940 So since they put safe injection sites into that city in that province, overdoses have skyrocketed.
00:17:37.220 Is there no common sense in this liberal government?
00:17:40.440 Do they not see a correlation here?
00:17:42.420 If you make access to drugs easier, more readable, obviously people are going to take more.
00:17:51.540 Now they're handing out free drugs because they're less dangerous.
00:17:55.760 Let's get rid of this notion that there's something called a safe injection site.
00:18:04.480 Heroin is not safe in any quantity.
00:18:07.220 It is a deadly drug.
00:18:09.900 Neither is fentanyl or other opioid-based drugs that addicts are taking in increasing volume.
00:18:16.480 They're taking them in increasing volume because it's easy to take.
00:18:18.900 They're legal and the government's now providing free drugs.
00:18:22.740 This is a drug policy from hell or from Trudeau's basement, which might well be hell because this
00:18:31.700 is an absolute disgrace and it should be apparent to anybody and everybody that making drugs
00:18:40.420 more easier to get is going to increase the consumption and that should be fairly clear.
00:18:50.420 And I don't know what game this government's playing.
00:18:53.220 There's no evidence here.
00:18:54.860 There's no science here.
00:18:56.380 Are they not looking at the overdose death?
00:18:59.080 Is that not evidence to them that something's wrong with their policy?
00:19:03.880 Is that not evidence to them that they're going down the wrong road?
00:19:09.440 Is that not evidence to them that giving addicts the opportunity to consume drugs is a bad thing?
00:19:18.660 And I tell you, anyone who lives next to a safe injection site will tell you of the filth, of the bodies lying everywhere.
00:19:30.880 Some of them possibly near death, but completely comatose as a result of drugs.
00:19:37.780 And there's drug paraphernalia and other items of interest all over the place.
00:19:44.600 The streets are filthy next in Vancouver now.
00:19:47.760 I used to go, I lived very close to that city growing up and I don't recognize it anymore.
00:19:55.160 But that's what happens when liberal drug policies contaminate cities and provinces. 0.99
00:20:01.940 And the province of BC, the government in BC is just as mad and hysterically crazy as the federal government is. 0.91
00:20:09.660 They want, they have legalized everything. 0.70
00:20:12.820 So they're going to sow what they reap and they're doing that right now.
00:20:15.580 So this is an absolute disaster.
00:20:18.500 And I want to go on the record as saying there is no such thing as a safe injection site.
00:20:26.060 It's an addiction perpetuation site.
00:20:29.380 That's what they're doing there.
00:20:30.540 So we're going to move through our last story today.
00:20:33.920 And this, this is near to my heart because I love veterans.
00:20:40.020 I grew up with veterans in Comox.
00:20:43.040 I was surrounded by veterans.
00:20:45.040 There was a former major general living next door to me across the street.
00:20:49.000 One of the pioneers in the Royal Canadian Air Force.
00:20:52.000 Harry Bryant used to talk to Harry all the time.
00:20:57.420 Remembrance Day, I sat with the veterans and I listened to their stories because these, these are the people that are important.
00:21:03.800 And, you know, veterans are always with us.
00:21:06.460 I'm a veteran myself.
00:21:07.340 But as far as the, as far as the Trudeau government's concerned, veterans really don't matter because they've, they've, they've already squeezed them and their worth is over.
00:21:21.060 Their shelf life is over as far as this liberal government is concerned.
00:21:24.260 And it's, it's an atrocity.
00:21:26.100 And I want to, I want to show you this, how, how Trudeau really likes to avoid talking about their real issue here.
00:21:37.240 Right now, Mr. Speaker, veterans across the country are being reminded of what the conservatives did around veterans.
00:21:44.500 They wrap themselves in the flags and the symbols anytime they can.
00:21:48.520 But in fact, they nickeled and dimed our veterans.
00:21:51.800 They use them for photo ops.
00:21:53.420 They shut down nine veteran service offices across the country so they could try and save a little money through cuts.
00:22:00.860 The fact is, Mr. Speaker, the conservatives have always disrespected veterans while they wrap themselves in the imagery.
00:22:08.260 We're going to continue to deliver for the veterans every single day.
00:22:12.560 What a crock.
00:22:15.740 There he is.
00:22:17.280 This is the guy who said veterans expect too much, ask, ask for too much.
00:22:20.760 He said, reading off absolute balderdash.
00:22:25.340 And that was, that wasn't even the question he was asked.
00:22:27.920 He was asked, why is he disrespecting veterans with a new passport?
00:22:33.000 By eliminating the depiction of Vimy Ridge, one of Canada's proudest moments.
00:22:40.500 That's what veterans are all about.
00:22:42.740 Trudeau erased it in a Stalinist way from the passport.
00:22:47.260 It says, Joseph Stalin used to erase members of the Communist Party, the Politburo, who were in, who were no longer in favor with the government.
00:22:57.660 Well, veterans are never in favor with this government.
00:23:00.240 I've been getting so many responses from veterans ever since I first aired that video.
00:23:07.000 And Trudeau's lack of response, blaming everything on the former government when he himself has been the worst enemy of veterans that they have ever experienced.
00:23:17.300 And look, looks like he's really ready to explode, hyperventilating in his response. 0.92
00:23:29.340 Some dangerous twit that calmly and publicly told a veteran he's asking for more than we can give. 1.00
00:23:37.240 And Trudeau is a turd. 0.99
00:23:39.260 And I'm just reading these ads as I'm not going to censor these words. 0.91
00:23:42.880 He wears a Canadian military uniform for a photo op.
00:23:45.520 Now, Trudeau's talking about the Conservatives using veterans for a photo op. 1.00
00:23:50.920 What a hypocrite. 0.99
00:23:52.480 And he never served. 1.00
00:23:55.060 He wouldn't know what vets stood for or how they paid.
00:24:00.680 So all Canadians can live inside of the protection of these Canadian borders. 0.94
00:24:07.040 It's a small wonder.
00:24:08.820 He needs an encouraged, he needs to encourage protection when he's inside of Canada.
00:24:14.640 But now, after making the CCP payoffs, sick semper tyrannis.
00:24:27.520 Anyway, there's a lot of anger out there from veterans, a lot of anger.
00:24:31.700 And I could read dozens more of these responses.
00:24:34.360 People are upset because how is the, you want to see how this government treats vets?
00:24:40.440 I recently did an interview with the Koeman brothers, who have produced a brilliant documentary on the medical assistance in dying program, aka euthanasia.
00:24:54.760 Yes, Canada has a euthanasia program.
00:24:57.940 And it's called, isn't that convenient?
00:24:59.960 It's called MADE, A-M-A, small I-D, MADE.
00:25:04.000 So the Koeman brothers produced a documentary on MADE in Canada.
00:25:07.860 And this is a travesty.
00:25:11.180 This is a euthanasia program masquerading as a government regime that is good for you.
00:25:17.760 And it's astounding.
00:25:20.580 But I want you to watch this.
00:25:22.680 This is how our government treats veterans.
00:25:25.260 It's about that issue, and specifically Canada's Heroes, we call it.
00:25:29.780 And it's featuring Christine Gauthier, who is the veteran that was injured during training in a military exercise.
00:25:37.540 And she was one of the first seven women in the combat arms, artillery, in the Canadian military.
00:25:41.560 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 MADE. 0.98
00:25:52.420 So instead of an essential service for her to be getting in and out of her house, they said, we can kill you. 1.00
00:25:57.760 And so that was a shocking moment, because she was literally in one of the gentlemen who's a veteran, Mark Meinke, has a trauma recovery podcast.
00:26:07.060 He mentions in that episode, like, she was the literal poster woman, poster girl for both the Canadian military in that unit, but also as a Paralympic world champion.
00:26:20.060 She was a five-time canoe world champion, paddle champion, and they offered to kill her.
00:26:25.460 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, 0.86
00:26:38.260 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 the die,
00:26:46.520 made it sound so easy, so candid, so just like that, it's done.
00:26:52.660 It was incomprehensible for me.
00:26:56.660 If the heroes in our country are being offered MAID, there's something seriously wrong with Canada, and I think that that is ultimately why, for myself,
00:27:06.660 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.
00:27:14.160 Because we're talking about the soul of Canada, like, do we want a country where, and it's a bit of Murphy's Law, right?
00:27:21.320 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.
00:27:30.120 I mean, we're already announcing that at a liberal government level, that this could be a tourist destination for death.
00:27:38.120 Yeah, tourist destination for death.
00:27:40.980 We've got an upcoming article in Postmillennial that explains how we're actually considering expanding this MAID program to include the poor and the homeless.
00:27:55.080 There was a paper produced from the University of Toronto arguing that this program shouldn't be out of reach for poor people, because, my goodness, if they have no other option, why not commit suicide? 1.00
00:28:06.280 And 27% of Canadians, almost 30% of Canadians, agree with that.
00:28:14.320 What is this nation coming to?
00:28:17.600 I mean, I'm pleading right now.
00:28:19.560 I'm saying, what is this nation coming to?
00:28:21.020 Why, why, why are we doing this?
00:28:25.620 You know, I, and I don't understand, I don't understand why there's not more outrage over this.
00:28:32.800 And so what's happened, this, this, this woman, this veteran, this poor woman is asking for a wheelchair ramp. 0.94
00:28:39.760 You know, and I can show you footage of how she has to, how the wheelchair has to be carted out over the stairs to get into the house.
00:28:48.760 And it's, it is sad.
00:28:51.300 That's all I can say.
00:28:52.320 It's sad when veterans aren't getting basic services.
00:28:56.460 I mean, the government will, will give you a sex change operation, but they won't look after veterans. 0.93
00:29:01.200 It is deplorable.
00:29:02.580 And I got a note yesterday from Daniel Kuhlman, one of the producers, you saw him briefly in the interview I did with him for the post-millennial.
00:29:11.760 And he writes me about why she still hasn't got the wheelchair ramp installed in her house.
00:29:19.520 And he says, it's basically the system that's caused it not to happen.
00:29:23.140 They'll quote Veterans Affairs Canada, the install through a contractor.
00:29:29.920 And the quote takes six months.
00:29:31.640 Then it's valid for three months or something like that.
00:29:33.860 And by the time they go to install it, the quotes expire and the red tape withholds the install until the new quote gets approved.
00:29:40.000 Couple that with him not really wanting to install it in the way that will actually work for her.
00:29:45.080 And they won't listen to her actual needs.
00:29:46.880 They just want to do it their way.
00:29:48.740 So it's like catch 22 over and over.
00:29:50.500 Plus, COVID screwed it all up, and I'm sure, too, they still cling to COVID as an excuse.
00:29:55.780 Now five years plus have passed.
00:29:57.460 I don't know that if she says, if she pays, she will get reimbursed.
00:30:01.160 But I will ask her tomorrow to clarify that point.
00:30:03.600 So I'm waiting for a response back on that.
00:30:06.200 But do you trust Veterans Affairs to reimburse you?
00:30:08.940 I probably think it's a donation.
00:30:10.500 Because this is an organization that is clearly devoid of any conscience, any collective conscience.
00:30:15.980 They don't care for the people they were created to look after.
00:30:20.500 Now, veterans are a precious resource in this country.
00:30:23.660 These are people who gave all of their energy, their devotion to this country, and they're getting very little back.
00:30:32.960 I mean, there's a lot of veterans who are homeless, who are hungry, who are on the streets.
00:30:37.800 And, you know, we're looking after a lot of other people in this country who really probably shouldn't, we shouldn't be.
00:30:44.840 But we're not looking after our veterans.
00:30:47.260 And I think it's travesty.
00:30:49.220 I think it's an absolute travesty.
00:30:50.920 So this woman was offered the MAID program. 1.00
00:30:55.560 I mean, you don't know whether they'll laugh or cry.
00:30:57.720 But this is tragedy.
00:30:59.580 Tragedy.
00:31:00.060 Complete tragedy.
00:31:02.580 Instead of helping her, she said, well, they said, if things are that bad, have you considered medical assistance in dying?
00:31:08.940 Have you considered suicide?
00:31:10.860 That's an option.
00:31:12.540 Yeah.
00:31:13.920 So include, or veterans are going to be the next class of people who are included in the MAID in Canada program?
00:31:22.940 If they are, there's little hope for this country.
00:31:27.200 I can tell you that.
00:31:29.220 And if we're considering including the poor and the homeless in this equation, you have to ask yourself, what is wrong?
00:31:39.140 And I got one final clip to show you here.
00:31:41.660 And Pierre Paulyev actually touches on the fact that MAID is now being considered by some, and I believe many in the Liberal Caucus, in Cabinet, all share this conviction, being considered for the poor and down.
00:32:00.260 Their homelessness?
00:32:01.440 Yes.
00:32:02.220 Trudeau has caused housing costs to double.
00:32:04.360 Well, naturally, because of the misery that his woke economic policies have caused people, particularly the poorest people, there's more homelessness, there's more mental health breakdown, there's more misery than ever before.
00:32:17.660 People are asking for help with medical assistance in dying because they can't afford the cost of food.
00:32:22.200 That is what you're going to get when you increase the cost of government and you drive up inflation, taxes, and interest rates.
00:32:29.980 It's also what you're going to get when you legalize crack, heroin, and cocaine, as Trudeau and the NDP have done in B.C.
00:32:36.520 And it's exactly what you're going to get when you use tax dollars to give out free, hard drugs to addicts.
00:32:41.980 All of this has caused the phenomenon of everything being broken after eight years of Justin Trudeau.
00:32:50.360 Yeah.
00:32:51.360 So he touches on it.
00:32:52.680 And let me be clear about this.
00:32:54.520 Although veterans have not been officially listed as a group that is being offered, like it's some kind of prize, offered the MAID program.
00:33:04.900 But the government has essentially done that anyway, by clandestinely including them in the list.
00:33:12.160 She's not the only veteran who's been offered MAID as a solution to her problems.
00:33:18.040 There are other veterans who have testified at the House of Commons Committee looking into this, who have said that they have been offered, or they know of other veterans who have been offered this program.
00:33:31.460 This is nothing short of euthanasia.
00:33:34.180 You know, and it is sad that the Nazi German government offered a euthanasia program for people who were congenitally ill, sick, had mental health problems, had genetic, physical problems, and they killed these people.
00:33:57.860 They came to their houses, told them they were going to be taken away for treatment, and they killed them.
00:34:05.620 Doctors killed them.
00:34:06.720 And that was the only time the churches and people rose up in Germany and said, we can't do this because Hitler was killing their kith and kin.
00:34:21.280 Now, why they couldn't have done that to help save the Jewish population will be a question or will linger for centuries.
00:34:32.420 But they stood up to euthanasia.
00:34:34.260 But the latest poll that I've seen on the MAID program in Canada, it is enjoying remarkable support.
00:34:42.320 Over 75% of Canadians think it's a good idea for people to have suicide as an option and for doctors to help them kill themselves.
00:34:51.800 And then, like I said, almost 30% think the homeless and the poor should be included in this equation.
00:35:02.260 That is something that I thank the Koeman brothers for exposing in their film.
00:35:09.640 And we need to wake up to this issue.
00:35:14.900 I'm glad Mr. Polyev addressed it, and I hope he continues to.
00:35:21.200 But we cannot justify this program any longer in this country.
00:35:28.720 And it really is time to say enough is enough.
00:35:31.740 So that's all today for Stand on Guard with David Creighton.
00:35:39.520 This has been an episode I hope you've enjoyed, and I want to encourage you to click on the bell, subscribe to this channel today, because we need to be monetized.
00:35:54.020 This is an independent broadcast.
00:35:55.880 I am affiliated with other media outlets, but this broadcast is independent.
00:36:04.080 And I'm doing this because I need to get this information out, and you need to hear it.
00:36:10.340 And we need to resolve to resist.
00:36:15.780 This Trudeau government is taking our freedom away.
00:36:19.600 This Trudeau government is euthanizing the population.
00:36:22.920 This Trudeau government is censoring the media.
00:36:26.040 We've talked about that in the past.
00:36:27.800 There's worse to come.
00:36:29.920 They're going to start eliminating something called disinformation, which they refuse to define, and something called hate speech, which can mean anything they want it to mean from the Internet.
00:36:44.780 So if I'm attacking Justin Trudeau, the liberal government can classify that as hate speech, can't they?
00:36:52.540 Because this guy, this is a government that does not like criticism, does not like being attacked.
00:36:58.100 You saw Carolyn Bennett, that horrible excuse for a cabinet minister, go berserk. 1.00
00:37:04.220 And I could have shown you more clips where she is just outraged than anybody would question her judgment and her decisions.
00:37:12.740 So I want you to subscribe today.
00:37:15.260 Please support this station.
00:37:17.460 And we'll be back again next week with more of the news you want to hear and more of the information you need to know.
00:37:24.560 So for Stand on Guard with David Creighton, I'm David Creighton.
00:37:30.340 Bye for now.
