Summary
A moment of serendipity. I was at a Conservative Party of Canada rally in Ottawa, Canada, and I got a chance to meet someone who is a regular viewer of this show and a fan of the show, Patty Zadel. She was kind enough to offer me a seat next to her so I could record from there.

Welcome to another edition of Stand on Guard. I'm your host, David Creighton.
00:00:06.720
Well, do I look a little distressed, a little tired, a little worn out?
00:00:12.480
Well, I'll tell you all about it when I come back.
00:00:16.900
So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:20.820
We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:30.000
Yes, please ring that bell, like this broadcast, subscribe if you haven't.
00:00:45.280
A lot of you are. And, you know, we've recently surpassed 20,000 subscribers.
00:00:51.400
And I wanted to share this with you, or forget, a million views.
00:00:57.500
And as of yesterday, we were at 20,141, or 20,200 and something now.
00:01:07.620
And if you can like this broadcast, give it a thumbs up, and ring that bell if you can.
00:01:17.920
And like I said, oh, I was at a Pierre Polyev rally today in Ottawa.
00:01:27.060
I don't just sit here in my library putting on clips that other people have put together.
00:01:35.120
I still believe a journalist has to get out of their place, go out and talk to people, interview people, cover the news.
00:01:45.860
Don't just let's play other people's material all the time.
00:01:49.560
And that's not what we're about here at Stand on Guards.
00:01:53.340
So, I was at the Pierre Polyev Conservative Party of Canada, axe the tax, spike the hike protest here in Ottawa.
00:02:10.460
But I would estimate, well, 3,000 people showed up.
00:02:19.880
And, of course, I got there later than I should.
00:02:23.540
And I'm jostling around to find a place to get some good video.
00:02:30.260
There's no real place for media, especially if you're not a camera operator.
00:02:36.460
And I'm just trying to get pictures with my phone.
00:02:39.160
So, a very nice woman offered me a seat next to her.
00:02:46.220
That was Patti Zadel, who is a regular viewer of this show.
00:02:59.600
A moment of serendipity where you really don't expect something like that to happen at a political rally.
00:03:05.520
And I haven't been at a Pierre-Paulio rally in a long time.
00:03:11.080
And probably not since he won the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.
00:03:26.860
He reminded us today he has been in the House of Commons for 20 years.
00:03:39.860
I had a chance to shake his hand and say hello.
00:03:48.500
He's been doing these carbon tax rallies across Canada.
00:03:52.860
And I think this is probably the first one he's done in his home riding of Ottawa.
00:04:12.640
So what I want to do is show you, and before I forget, here is the very nice woman, Patty Zadal, who is a fan of this program and was on hand to meet Michael Barrett, conservative MP from Ontario, who has been front and center in combating the malaise of the liberal ad, sorry, arrive scam.
00:04:42.440
Now, I always want to say ad scam because there was another liberal scandal called it.
00:04:52.100
And so thank you again, Patty, for offering me your seat next to you so we could watch the rally in a very close up setting.
00:05:04.380
So what I want to do, though, is take you through some of the moments here.
00:05:10.580
And it is electric going to a Pierre Pauly of Raleigh.
00:05:19.220
And I tell you, there were some people who thought, you know, Pierre might not excite a crowd.
00:05:31.620
You could feel the energy in a room even before he arrived.
00:05:36.340
And when he entered that room, you could feel the emotion and the energy pulsating from that crowd.
00:05:48.200
So I want to show you some clips here of what went on today because I think it was quite exciting what's going on here.
00:05:55.480
Because Pierre Pauly, of course, is not just talking about stopping the carbon tax, which is going up by 23% on April 1st.
00:06:07.020
And it's going to have, of course, cascading effects on the economy.
00:06:10.780
Because it's not just the price of energy, of fossil fuels, of your gas in your tank, of the home heating fuel.
00:06:20.440
It's the transportation of all the goods and services involved in this.
00:06:29.980
So let's listen to what Pierre had to say today.
00:07:01.820
There's only one provincial party in Canada that is overtly supporting the carbon tax, and that is the MDP in British Columbia.
00:07:14.740
But we're mounting a nationwide campaign that has thus far included rallies in towns, villages, and hamlets.
00:07:23.080
We will be protesting outside the offices of Liberal MPs, urging them to do the right thing.
00:07:29.640
We're asking you to share our posts, sign our petitions, encourage your neighbors and friends to do the same thing.
00:07:37.940
Let's mount a massive pressure campaign to stop Justin Trudeau's taxing.
00:08:50.900
If you weren't watching Question Period that day,
00:08:54.500
Pierre Polyev said, WTF, meaning, of course, what the F-U-C-K,
00:09:03.760
about arrive can, because there's so many unanswered questions,
00:09:07.880
and why did two guys in their basement make all of this money
00:09:14.420
So Pierre Polyev, in exasperation, said, what? WTF.
00:09:20.120
The speaker chided him for his unparliamentary language,
00:09:23.120
and when he came back, he said, well, what does WTF stand for?
00:09:30.000
So that's what that T-shirt and that joke was about there.
00:09:38.720
So let's hear a bit more, because there's really,
00:09:55.380
It's been graded by UBS Bank as the worst housing model in the world for 2022.
00:10:03.060
Vancouver is the third most expensive place on planet Earth
00:10:07.300
when we compare housing prices to median incomes.
00:10:10.500
We have 10 cities in every single town and village countryside of this country.
00:10:17.100
We've got 35 homeless encampments in the beautiful city of Halifax.
00:10:30.960
we have the RCMP writing a secret intelligence report
00:10:35.600
warning that if people in Canada wake up to how broke they are,
00:10:40.960
there might be an all-out revolt that could stabilize our institutions.
00:10:51.360
and noticed and calculated how brutally broke we are in this country
00:10:56.780
after eight years of prime minister who's doubled the debt,
00:11:00.660
who's given us the worst inflation in four decades,
00:11:08.720
life was not like this in Canada before Justin Trudeau,
00:11:24.420
And I think, you know, that just about says it all
00:11:42.380
We've got farming, by raising the carbon tax up to,
00:11:49.700
by 2030, it's going to be $150,000 in carbon taxes
00:12:14.920
Or you've got the little miracles you manage it,
00:12:33.740
Apparently true to Miss Thin Day in science class.
00:12:53.180
burning fossil fuels right across North America,
00:13:02.160
making us more dependent on the rest of the world.
