Welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard with David Creighton. I'm your host,
00:00:06.020
David Creighton. And before we get into today's show, there's some very interesting material here
00:00:10.860
today, including a surprise announcement from a liberal MP from Charlottetown. He made a
00:00:17.360
surprise announcement. I think it's going to fascinate you what he predicted. We'll get to
00:00:23.080
that in a minute. So we are in a very precarious position in this country. We need political
00:00:31.060
change, but we also need to resolve to resist. I hope you watched my interview last week with
00:00:44.240
Camille El-Sheikh. He's a local Ottawa Muslim activist and prominent businessman who is out
00:00:51.400
there fighting the LGBTQ agenda ideology in our schools. He's fighting gender ideology.
00:01:00.040
He's standing up for children. He's planning a million person march for September 20th.
00:01:07.920
Now, I think he can achieve that. But if you want to stay apprised of what's happening,
00:01:13.480
if you want to know how to get involved, keep looking at the description on this page,
00:01:19.160
please subscribe and ring that bell so you can access that. Because we'll be providing the
00:01:25.360
information about what Camille is doing and the other organizers. Their information will be here
00:01:33.060
and you can access it. But please subscribe and ring that bell. So without further ado, I want to get
00:01:38.560
onto our topic today. And it's one of our favorite personalities. You know, shows like this wouldn't
00:01:45.980
be as much fun if you didn't have politicians like Christy of Freeland, the Deputy Prime Minister and
00:01:51.880
Finance Minister. Now, some people say she's basically doing all the work in this government
00:01:57.540
because Justin Trudeau just likes to lay back and have a good time. And if you look at the way she
00:02:02.940
reacts to this reporter, it looks like she's maybe a little overworked, maybe has really needs a little
00:02:09.980
rest someplace. Because she's she's having some trouble. But let's let's have a look at this stuff
00:02:16.280
we make in Canada, if we are not making it in a green way. People will not want to visit our country
00:02:24.080
if they do not see that we are energetically embracing the green transition. They'll go to places
00:02:31.340
that are embracing that. So now, now, do you do believe that? Do you do you actually believe
00:02:39.480
that people are not coming to Canada, that our tourism is down because they don't think we're
00:02:46.400
green enough? But it's, it's, it's an incredible situation. But that's, you know, that is that is
00:02:54.420
Christine Freeland. So let's, let's listen to some. I really believe very, very strongly that
00:03:00.680
our green policy is an economic growth policy. Excellent. Although I did. I rarely get that at
00:03:10.480
press conferences. You guys are nice. I did. It's Prince Edward Island. Yeah. I did want to say one
00:03:17.280
more thing, though. I don't need you to retread the ground you've gone over because you've answered
00:03:20.200
this question from the other side. But you are facing a lot of pushback in this region, in particular
00:03:24.800
from local politicians, local provincial governments that say this, they're not opposed to it, but it's
00:03:30.100
coming too soon, too fast. They need more. Ah, notice here, she's saying, oh, I thought this reporter was
00:03:37.360
on my side. And it appears initially, that he's a he's a promoter. He wants to lob a softball question. But
00:03:46.160
she's realizing here, and look at that look in her face. He's realizing, oh, I'm going to get a tough
00:03:51.620
question. Time to adapt. What do you say to that? You know what? I say, I do really understand.
00:04:00.260
I really understand the challenges. And I do believe that the challenges are different
00:04:08.940
in small towns, in places with less public transit than they are in big cities. You know, I right now
00:04:20.720
am an MP for downtown Toronto. A fact that still shocks my dad is, I don't actually own a car.
00:04:28.740
Because I live in downtown Toronto. I'm like, I don't know, 300 meters from the nearest subway.
00:04:34.920
Um, I walk, I take the subway, I make my kids walk and ride their bikes and take the subway.
00:04:42.680
It's actually healthier for our family. I can live that way.
00:04:54.780
Now, as you can see here, she's not really telling the truth. She uses a chauffeur, not only when she's
00:05:02.840
in Ottawa, as a cabinet minister being chauffeured around, but she uses a chauffeur in Toronto. And
00:05:07.680
she even uses a chauffeur when she's going to events. She's got a backup limo waiting for her.
00:05:15.900
So she's not only taking the plane to get an event, to an event, she's having a chauffeur drive to that
00:05:21.700
event and drive back, even if she's not with it. Because just in case, she needs that, as this
00:05:27.800
demonstrates, I mean, this, this is really quite, quite shocking. But this is, this is what
00:05:33.640
Chrystia Freeland is all about. It's about hypocrisy. And the funny thing is, you know, as we can, we can
00:05:39.240
look at this here. She was very upset with Pierpaglia for pointing out her, that she just doesn't
00:05:45.000
understand average Canadians who have to drive a car to work, or to pick up the children, or to do
00:05:50.120
anything else that you can't do, necessarily, if you don't have mass rapid transit, 300 meters away.
00:05:58.280
Or you don't have a chauffeur to pick you up every, every morning. Or you don't have a chauffeur on call
00:06:05.000
every time you go someplace. So she was really upset with conservative leader Pierpaglia for not
00:06:11.400
providing the whole discourse. And of course, you just saw the whole thing right there.
00:06:15.960
You just saw it. That's what she wanted the whole discourse out. And so she got the whole discourse.
00:06:24.520
So it does do you think she understood? Do you think Chrystia Freeland understands the average
00:06:28.440
Canadian? Do you think she's ever been the average Canadian? No, and certainly not. And she always likes
00:06:35.240
to pretend she's just a common folk, you know, and she understands it all, but she doesn't. Let's hear some
00:06:40.200
more incredible revelations here. And that's why we've invested massively in electric vehicles, in batteries.
00:06:49.400
All right. This is a guy named Bill Casey. He's the short, sorry, Sean Casey. He is the member of
00:06:57.320
parliament for Charlottetown liberal. He makes a really surprising announcement here. Really surprising
00:07:04.760
announcement. Just watch it away for this. And the clean fuel standard, the very purpose of that
00:07:12.600
is to allow for transportation with less harm to the environment. I have every confidence that
00:07:18.600
industry is going to respond positively. So I don't have any concern whatsoever because I have so much
00:07:27.240
faith in the innovators in this country who are being fueled by the investments that we are making.
00:07:33.560
I mean, there are going to be no internal combustion engines in Canada in 2035.
00:07:40.200
What did he say? No combustible engines by 2035. I mean, there are going to be no internal
00:07:50.760
combustion engines in Canada in 2035. No internal combustion engines by 2035. That's what he said.
00:07:56.440
Now, we're going to get to another clip here. And if you want a moment to gag,
00:08:02.360
you've got it now. But this is just Justin Trudeau being Justin Trudeau. And sometimes it's nauseating.
00:08:10.120
Well, if that wasn't a heartwarming moment, I don't know. I don't know what is. I hope you enjoyed those
00:08:31.160
clips today. I want to encourage you again to support independent media. And please subscribe and
00:08:39.480
