Your home is your castle. We're calling on the government to introduce and
00:00:14.540
Is it possible that Peter Polyev is watching our show? It's called, I'm just
00:00:20.680
asking because this new bill will be called the Stand on Guard law. Not only
00:00:28.080
a great bill, but a great reference to the show, I hope, when we come back in mere
00:00:34.480
moments. So we'll delve into this news conference yesterday. A couple of other
00:00:44.220
The Prime Minister lied and his minions continue to lie.
00:01:01.840
Yes, please like the station, like the show, subscribe. We've got to keep pushing our
00:01:14.980
subscriptions up. Thank you so much for your support. Oh, the dying days of August. I know
00:01:21.880
summer lasts until September 21st. But it seems like once you get past that Labor Day weekend,
00:01:30.840
and it's pretty early this year, summer seems to be over. You can't wear the white pants anymore.
00:01:37.880
And every dress code changes. And I love summer. And I'm praying for a summer in the future that's
00:01:52.020
And that could happen. I want to show this little meme again, because our producer put a lot of work
00:02:00.480
into it. And it's wonderful. And of course, the forces of common sense, decency, and sanity won a huge
00:02:10.580
victory this week, when Cracker Barrel decided it wasn't going to change his logo to that horribly
00:02:19.220
sanitized version from the woke CEO. And not only that, thanks to the good work of people like Robbie Starbuck,
00:02:27.940
they took down their pride page in their DEI instructions. But here's, I think, a large part of the reason.
00:02:36.340
The US has a president in Donald Trump who cares about these matters and has the guts to speak out about them.
00:03:06.340
Yeah, that was, that's a celebrating moment. You know, that reminds me of when they used to do ads,
00:03:16.880
and they would put actors or personalities in the ad with current day actors who were long gone,
00:03:25.600
long deceased. I mean, Humphrey Bogart was in one. And they tried that in the movie too.
00:03:34.920
And like, the title escapes me right now, but it's, it's a work of art. I really, really enjoyed that.
00:03:43.380
And I can't say enough about it. Before, before we get into the poly of speech, this is a very,
00:03:50.340
very disturbing. So if you haven't noticed, you know, there's been a humanitarian crisis
00:03:59.880
crisis already in the Gaza Strip with, first of all, leveling of everything that's standing
00:04:08.020
and what's been going on with the lack of food for the people there. Now it looks like it's going to be,
00:04:17.480
everybody's going to be eradicated. So this is, I think, I should be of concern to everybody.
00:04:22.500
And I, I mentioned that at the risk of offending some, but we're here to talk the truth.
00:04:33.320
Now I want to show you something else that just, I came across this morning. Thank you to Steve,
00:04:39.660
who pointed this out to me. This is amazing. Bureaucrat booze bill costs taxpayers $51,000 a month.
00:04:51.500
This is global affairs. Thanks to the Canadian taxpayers federation. And it says working in
00:04:57.540
government may be a thirsty profession, but a boost have a $50,000 a month. It's definitely a problem.
00:05:06.020
And the problem gets worse when the bill is sent to taxpayers, global affairs, Canada bureaucrats spent
00:05:13.060
more than $3.3 million on alcohol between January, 2019 and May, 2024, according to an access to information
00:05:23.400
records obtained by the Canadian taxpayers federation.
00:05:29.840
What is coming? I could, I could read this whole thing, but read it and weep. This is,
00:05:35.020
this is, this is absolutely outrageous. The taxpayers are on the hook for the bar tab.
00:05:44.020
And it doesn't say, this is obviously the, they're whining and dining themselves and guests
00:05:49.720
at probably four and five star restaurants around the world.
00:05:54.320
What's the price of a bottle of red wine in Paris, France? Probably about $60, $70 Canadian easily.
00:06:03.120
So that's where the bar tab is. But I mean, you think the government would at least say, look,
00:06:07.840
we'll pay for your meals, but you want to booze it up, put it on your own tab.
00:06:12.180
You're paid well enough as it is. Don't expect the taxpayer to pay for this. But of course the
00:06:18.980
taxpayer is paying for this. So kind of outrageous, wouldn't you say? Got another story here for you
00:06:27.240
that I just noticed this morning. Can I share the screen? Yeah, here we go.
00:06:38.880
So, this is from the Guardian, a newspaper media outlook I don't generally like. But I'll read it
00:06:49.120
because I'd like to know what the other side is thinking. Here we go again. Beach returned to
00:06:56.580
First Nation after 170 years following Canada legal battle. So this is a beach off Lake Huron in Ontario.
00:07:04.600
And guess what? It's just been handed to another First Nation group. 270 years. A stretch of beach
00:07:15.660
will be returned to a First Nations in Canada. 170 years after it was mistakenly omitted from its reserve.
00:07:24.520
Now, this was contested by the local town. But Canada, the Canadian Supreme Court would not
00:07:38.960
even hear the case. This is problematic. Just like what happened recently in BC with private property
00:07:46.800
rights being overturned by the BC Supreme Court. Here we have the Supreme Court of Canada
00:07:51.800
essentially agreeing with the entitlement of First Nations peoples to override private property
00:07:59.340
rights, which are not guaranteed in the Canadian Constitution or the Charter of Rights,
00:08:09.020
In its application to the country's highest court, the town warned that a victory for the First Nation
00:08:14.580
would, quote, risk sowing uncertainty and unpredictability at the core of Canada's system
00:08:21.260
of private landholding, unquote. Same situation. Why am I flagging this? Because
00:08:30.440
this is an indication that the Supreme Court is going to back up British Columbia when its appeal
00:08:40.420
of the BC Supreme Court ruling in favor of First Nation entitlement comes before it.
00:08:48.100
So this is very, very, very problematic. And I'm extremely concerned about this.
00:08:57.220
All right, let's listen to this, a little bit of this speech yesterday, where Pierre Pauly again
00:09:03.660
said he supports castle law, meaning you don't have to use so-called reasonable force.
00:09:11.340
Use whatever force is necessary to eject a home intruder who has come there to harm you or your family
00:09:18.340
or to steal your property. You have a right to defend yourself. And he's calling this, I love it,
00:09:25.400
the stand-on-guard law. Like I say, is he watching this show? Because we've certainly been supporting that.
00:09:31.740
And Pierre Pauly also touches on other issues that we've been talking about specifically on this show.
00:09:40.220
Now, you know, I saw a lot of hyperbole about Pierre Pauly overnight in terms of, you know,
00:09:48.060
in terms of this is the greatest speech he's ever delivered. And he's on fire. He's talking like a
00:09:55.100
conservative. Yes, that's how he's supposed to talk. And he's talking to the grassroots because, as I pointed out,
00:10:01.900
to everybody over the last three months, he's not running for prime minister right now.
00:10:07.820
He's running to preserve his leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada and his soon-to-be
00:10:16.460
position of official opposition leader in the House of Commons. As soon as he accepts,
00:10:22.460
as he takes the oath for the seat in Battle River Crowfoot,
00:10:27.660
he automatically becomes the leader of official opposition again. So he's talking like a conservative.
00:10:34.620
Let's listen to some of this, because this is good, plain, common sense talk.
00:10:41.980
Your home is your castle. Your home is your castle. And you have the right to defend your family in your
00:10:50.540
home. And right now, unfortunately, that is not the case. You know, our purpose as conservatives
00:10:57.980
is to bring back a country where hard work gets you a beautiful house on a safe street under our proud flag.
00:11:06.460
That when you come home and put the key in the door and you turn it,
00:11:11.500
you're filled with peace, knowing that you can leave all of the day's troubles behind.
00:11:17.580
That your biggest problem will be how you get the kids to eat all of their dinner,
00:11:21.500
finish their homework and get to bed on time. I confess that we fail on the last one regularly
00:11:26.620
in the Paliyev household. But these are the kinds of problems that we all want to have.
00:11:31.100
Unfortunately, there are bigger problems that people face after 10 years of disastrous
00:11:37.500
liberal government that has driven costs, crime, immigration and employment through the roof.
00:11:45.500
People worry. They worry that they can't afford a home in the first place. That if they do have a home,
00:11:53.660
they can't afford to put food on the table because of high liberal taxes and inflation.
00:11:58.860
They worry about losing their jobs because of liberal taxes and temporary foreign worker programs
00:12:04.700
that take jobs away from Canadians. They worry that even if they have a job, a home and food on the table,
00:12:11.260
that they're not safe in their homes. They worry that their car might be gone from the driveway when
00:12:17.340
they wake up in the morning. Or worse, they worry that they might be awoken at 2am to the sound of
00:12:25.820
breaking glass and feet pounding on their living room floor as an invader storms in to steal the family's
00:12:36.620
goods or worse, harm the family itself. Now, Pierre Paliyev has a great issue here
00:12:44.940
because this is something not only conservative party voters or small c conservatives,
00:12:51.740
but I would say a vast majority of Canadians will agree with that, hey, somebody comes into my property,
00:12:58.300
enters my house, breaks into my house, steals my property, threatens my life, threatens the lives of my wife
00:13:04.540
and family or my husband and family. I have the right to eject this person. He or she does not have
00:13:13.260
the right to invade my home. I would hope 90% of Canadians would agree with that and would not agree
00:13:20.620
with columnists out there who are saying, yeah, we need to put reasonable in there because that's
00:13:25.340
reasonable. That's completely foolish to say that. Let's get back to this.
00:13:31.580
The police say that it is necessary to leave your keys at the front door to make it easier for
00:13:41.660
criminals to safely steal your car. And they worry when they think about what they might do to protect
00:13:49.020
their family if an intruder ever entered. What do you do if you've got a small child down the hallway
00:13:56.780
and you hear that ominous sound of a home invasion? The answer for any parent is we would do anything
00:14:03.740
necessary to protect our children. But unfortunately, people who've done that have been have faced the
00:14:12.220
brunt of the law. The system treats after 10 years of liberals, the system treats victims like criminals
00:14:19.900
and criminals like victims. Back in 2019, three mass intruders, one armed with a sawed-off shotgun,
00:14:26.860
broke into a residence in Collingwood. Cameron Gardner and his girlfriend were tied up.
00:14:33.900
When they finally freed themselves, they struggled with the intruders. The attacker's gun went off twice,
00:14:41.020
striking two of the attackers. One escaped. Now, when Cameron saw the police arrive, he was relieved
00:14:46.780
until he found out that they were going to put him in handcuffs. He'd fought for his life. He was
00:14:55.020
courageous. And this is the price he paid. He was in jail for six months. He was in a legal process for
00:15:02.940
over two years, spending an ungodly fortune on lawyers. And then there's Ali Mian. In February of 2023,
00:15:12.780
the Milton residence and licensed firearms owner awoke to find five, five intruders who were masked and
00:15:24.060
armed. They came in, broke into his house, carrying weapons, zip ties, and harmed his mother. After using
00:15:33.020
his legal firearm to shoot one of the intruders, he was able to fight them off. But he was arrested.
00:15:40.300
By the way, one of the intruders had a nine-millimeter handgun. And yet, the law went after this innocent
00:15:48.620
man trying to defend his home. He had to post $130,000 in bail for defending his family. After five months
00:16:01.340
of hell, the second-degree murder charge was finally dropped by the Crown because they realized there was
00:16:08.220
no reasonable chance of conviction. But it is outrageous that this man had to live through
00:16:12.860
that hell when he should have been focused on recovering from the trauma of fighting off
00:16:18.220
a dangerous criminal. And that is why conservatives are standing here today based on the principle
00:16:26.460
that your home is your castle. We're calling on the government to introduce and immediately pass
00:16:32.700
the stand-on-guard law, failing which one of our party's MPs will put forward such a bill. It will
00:16:42.220
amend section 34.2 of the criminal code, which right now says that you can defend yourself based on
00:16:51.420
nine very complicated and vague conditions. Now look, if you're defending your house, you don't have time to
00:16:59.340
think through nine different conditions. You have one condition to protect yourself and your kids.
00:17:06.540
And it is wrong for the law, for the police, and for judges to apply a complicated, indecipherable legal
00:17:13.580
doctrine against you when you were only doing what is right.
00:17:19.900
Ezra Levant of Rebel News was in the audience, was a journalist at this news conference. Ezra, by the way,
00:17:25.740
and Pierre and Polyam go back way back over 22, 23 years. They knew each other very well in Calgary.
00:17:33.900
Tell you that story some other time. But it's nice to see Ezra at these news conferences because
00:17:39.740
for years Rebel News was excluded from conservative party news conferences. So it's nice to see them there.
00:17:46.380
But here's a great question from Ezra Levant about this stand on guard lie and what could be possibly
00:17:55.180
I see that Mark Carney's favorite premier, Doug Ford, has said he's for the Castle Law.
00:18:01.100
And other provinces like Alberta have said that too.
00:18:05.020
Will you call on Doug Ford not to wait for Carney to reconvene Parliament,
00:18:10.620
but rather to issue a statement that there will be no more prosecutions of homeowners who defend
00:18:17.180
their homes just as a matter of policy because right now his prosecutors are going after Jeremy
00:18:23.900
McDonald, whose home was invaded in Lindsay, Ontario. And those are provincial prosecutors
00:18:31.260
who are doing that? Well, I think that's a great idea. I don't know the legal powers that a premier
00:18:38.060
has to direct the prosecution service side. I would not comment on it, but I would hope prosecutors
00:18:44.700
would stop going after law-abiding people who are defending their property. We need prosecutors
00:18:52.620
to go after criminals. Now, as for their ability to do that, I've never been a Crown prosecutor,
00:19:01.100
so I don't know. We have a Crown prosecutor here, Larry Brock, so maybe he can jump in on this.
00:19:07.340
But I will say this. We need to change the law. Let's make the law clear. Let's bring into place
00:19:13.260
the idea that your home is your castle so that no prosecutor, judge, or police officer can ever go
00:19:20.460
after someone who is defending their home against an evader who presents a threat.
00:19:27.180
Okay, so Larry Brock comes in and says exactly what I've been saying all week about this. Doug Ford,
00:19:34.140
you have some leeway here. Larry Brock, who is the conservative party justice critic,
00:19:40.060
points out that provincial judges take their direction from the attorney general of the province,
00:19:46.940
who reports directly, of course, to the premier of the province. So Doug Ford can get up and say,
00:19:54.060
oh, it's just horrible how the law is not working for this guy who had a home invasion. And he got
00:20:02.060
charged. It's outrageous. And Ontarians are upset about this. Well, Doug, get off your corpulent butt
00:20:07.340
duff and do something about it. Tell your attorney general to direct the prosecutors not to prosecute
00:20:13.660
these people to throw these charges up because it's ridiculous. And you're the one whining and beefing
00:20:21.500
about it just so you can throw some red meat to the base so you can get your popularity figures just
00:20:28.140
a little bit higher. And God only knows why a premier like Doug Ford, who says Mark Carney's doing a
00:20:34.700
really, really good job. And as Ezra Levant points out, that's Mark Carney's favorite premier is Doug
00:20:41.020
Ford. He's totally in his pocket, just like he was in Justin Trudeau's pocket. So Doug Ford, you've got
00:20:48.380
some you've got the power to do something about this. Do it. That's what I say to you. Now, another great
00:20:54.380
moment from this news conference. What else have I been talking about all month? Identity politics are
00:21:02.860
toxic. Identity politics are bad. Identity politics leads to more people being more equal
00:21:11.180
than others. You know, the old animal farm phrase. When we have identity politics, we have two, three,
00:21:18.940
four tier justice systems. We have differing rights for differing people. We don't have equality under
00:21:27.020
the law. And this is what... Pierre Pauline gets a question here. And somebody suggested that
00:21:32.860
this journalist ruined his career. Well, the journalist, I don't think, is even there asking
00:21:38.380
the question. It's a global news question. And I think somebody's reading it on behalf of David
00:21:43.500
Akin, because I recognize David Akin's voice. I work with David Akin at Sun News. I don't think David
00:21:48.140
Akin is physically there asking the question. But had he been, I think people would have said,
00:21:55.260
Akin, I thought you knew better. But here it is.
00:22:01.020
One question. Global news with a question from David Akin from our Ottawa Bureau. In the spring
00:22:07.100
election, you did very well with voters in most demographic, but demographics, pardon me. But
00:22:12.380
you seem to struggle to win support among older women. Do you have some thoughts on how to address
00:22:17.020
the particular demographic of women 50 plus? Well, I don't believe in breaking the country down
00:22:25.100
by demographics. I believe in working for every Canadian of every age and every gender and every
00:22:30.220
race. I think we have to stop breaking... we have to stop dividing our country into categories.
00:22:36.460
Every Canadian, regardless of their age, should be... should enjoy peace and security in their homes,
00:22:44.140
should be able to afford food when they go to the grocery store,
00:22:48.540
should know that their children and grandchildren will be able to get a job and buy a home.
00:22:53.900
That was the promise of this country. And, you know, it is incredible how much that promise
00:23:01.260
has been destroyed after 10 years of Liberals. And the other thing I've noticed is how disappointed
00:23:08.060
people are in Mark Carney. He made such wonderful promises. And I don't blame people who voted for
00:23:15.980
him. He really promised the world. But look what's actually happened. Look how things have changed.
00:23:23.740
Inflation is now rising again. Unemployment is higher than it was under the previous government.
00:23:29.900
We all said that the last Prime Minister had lost control of spending.
00:23:33.580
But now, under Carney, the deficit is twice as big as the one Trudeau left behind.
00:23:40.860
So it seems that when Mr. Carney promised he'd be different, everything is worse.
00:23:45.180
I'm going to venture to make a guess here. I think the last half of that answer is conservative
00:23:54.220
talking points. Because once again, you don't blame people for voting for Mark Carney? Well,
00:24:00.220
that's a little too conciliatory. That's a little too forgiving.
00:24:04.780
I blame people for voting for Mark Carney. Because they should have known this man was not telling
00:24:09.740
them the truth and that he was not going to deliver on any of these promises and that he was going to
00:24:15.980
deliver on the other things he talked about, such as a carbon tariff. That's coming. But Mark Carney
00:24:25.100
never had any intention of this elbows-up nonsense with the United States. He used it as a fear tactic
00:24:31.020
to get boomers, older boomers, to vote for him in huge numbers. Of course, he didn't talk about the home
00:24:38.060
equity tax either that's coming. That might be a sore spot for boomers when they hear about that.
00:24:46.860
The first part of his answer, where he talks about identity politics, that's the old Pierre
00:24:51.500
Pauliev. That's the Pierre Pauliev who ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada
00:24:55.340
three years ago. That's the Pierre Pauliev who's a principled Conservative. That's the Pierre Pauliev
00:25:01.980
we didn't always hear from during the election campaign. He was too focused on Donald Trump,
00:25:06.700
too focused on party talking points, listening too closely to his campaign manager. He should
00:25:12.700
have talked this way. Go off script! That was an excellent opportunity to talk about the toxicity
00:25:20.620
of identity politics and the absolute need to have a Canada that's based on equality under the law,
00:25:28.780
with no race-based fishing, hunting, or judicial system. That's an opportunity to say,
00:25:36.460
here's what Conservatives believe in. Individual rights, not collective rights. And he did that very
00:25:42.700
well. He didn't say, what a stupid question! Oh, how can you even bring that up? He just calmly turned it
00:25:49.580
around so that you've got people thinking, yeah, that was a stupid question. Why are the journalists,
00:25:56.300
why is the media obsessed with demographics or identity politics? Sounds like Pierre Pauliev isn't.
00:26:04.940
He seems to believe in equality under the law. Very, very good moment. Now, when we come back,
00:26:11.500
I'm going to show you one more good moment from this news conference and why I think Pierre Pauliev realizes
00:26:17.820
he's not running for prime minister right now. He's running to save his leadership at the leadership
00:26:26.540
review next February. And he needs to convince rank-and-file conservative voters and members
00:27:43.880
Thank you, Tamara Leach, for modeling that bit of merchandise there.
00:27:47.660
And that reminded me, when I saw that picture of Tamara, it's Labor Day, right, this Monday.
00:27:56.860
The Freedom Convoy trial with Tamara Leach and Chris Barber on trial started two years ago, next month, two years, and they're still waiting for sentencing that's not going to happen until October.
00:28:15.360
The longest mischief trial in Canadian history, possibly world history, and they're still at it.
00:28:19.660
Still waiting for a verdict, which, you know, don't get me started, a verdict that could be eight years for Chris and seven years in jail for Tamara.
00:28:31.500
And thank God, Pierre Paglia spoke out against that because he waited far too long to do so.
00:28:39.300
There were liberals out there saying, how dare he question the crown prosecutors?
00:28:52.020
Because believe me, the Ontario provincial government is an appendage of the Mark Carney liberals at times.
00:29:00.460
So here's Pierre Paglia again speaking directly to grassroots conservatives about an issue that's important to them.
00:29:10.700
Because I know every time I get comments from people who really don't like Pierre Paglia and who are insistent that he's just another liberal, I hear about mass migration.
00:29:25.180
I hear about Paglia not getting tough enough on the immigration.
00:29:30.600
Now, whether or not he keeps talking about that when he secured his leadership, I'm not going to hazard a guess.
00:29:38.800
But he's talking about it right now because this is an issue that grassroots conservatives care deeply about.
00:29:48.920
It is ridiculous that in our liberal justice system, someone gets a lower conviction simply because they came from another country.
00:29:59.720
And that is why Michelle Rempel, conservative immigration critic, is introducing a law that will ban judges from giving sentencing discounts to people on the basis of their immigration status.
00:30:15.300
Frankly, anyone who is visiting our country from abroad and applying for immigration who commits a crime should be deported from our country.
00:30:33.100
When you when you listen to this, just like you listen to the other comments made about Castle Law and.
00:30:39.760
And the other problems you're probably have talks about at this news conference, you think, has Canada really gone that crazy that we reward people coming to this country?
00:30:52.760
Non-citizens by going lighter on them when they commit a crime?
00:30:57.620
We not only don't deport them, we judge them on a whole different set of criteria.
00:31:02.800
Canada has gone mad in so many ways under Trudeau and under Carney.
00:31:12.680
Carney is perpetuating the madness initiated by Justin Trudeau.
00:31:19.860
Carney is perpetuating and escalating the bad habits of Justin Trudeau, including deficit spending and woke politics and green energy policies.
00:31:32.800
He just doesn't look like Justin Trudeau and he doesn't advertise the color of his socks, but he is worse than Justin Trudeau.
00:31:41.560
And Pierre Pauly, I've mentioned this earlier in the week as well, said Mark Carney's worse.
00:31:47.660
And he has a very definite agenda, and he's moving towards that agenda in a methodical way.
00:31:56.120
Unlike Justin Trudeau, who was not methodical, who could be very erratic at times, very divisive, very polarizing, and never understood that sometimes it's the soft sell that pushes through woke policies.
00:32:10.620
Because when people actually look at these woke policies, they say, that's crazy.
00:32:16.840
And that's what happened with Cracker Barrel this week in the United States.
00:32:24.380
We need that sort of pushback in Canada to say, let's look at these policies in an honest, transparent manner.
00:32:32.560
Let's assess these policies in the broad light of day.
00:32:40.380
These are policies that are destroying the country, and they make no sense.
00:32:44.820
Why aren't we deporting non-citizens who commit crimes?
00:32:52.440
Why are we prosecuting homeowners who defend their property rights, who defend their families?
00:33:10.040
And this was Pierre Paulyev's message yesterday.
00:33:17.260
He's speaking to that conservative voter who has to decide in February whether Pierre Paulyev should stay on as leader.
00:33:23.100
As I've said a hundred times, if I've said it once, I don't know who's waiting in the wings that could possibly replace Pierre Paulyev right now.
00:33:32.760
They've got some great rookie MPs, but rookie MPs don't become the leader of the conservative party.
00:33:40.280
What we need to do is ensure that Pierre Paulyev stays on a principled conservative course.
00:33:46.100
And that means when he strays from that course, we have to criticize it.
00:33:56.160
This is why I'm praising Pierre Paulyev today because he said something that was very good.
00:34:04.040
And when he does that, I'm going to say, good job.
00:34:13.280
So we need a really conservative alternative in this country.
00:34:18.400
And this is what Pierre Paulyev needs to offer Canadians.
00:34:31.240
And I'll be back again tomorrow morning at 9.30.
00:34:43.920
Let's continue to fight back on toxic Carney policies.
00:34:50.200
I've been broadcasting to you live from Ottawa.
