00:00:01.000 Hi, welcome back to another Stand on Guard. I'm still your host, David Creighton. Welcome
00:00:07.140 again to 2024. It's going to be an exciting year. We'll be back in a few moments to tell
00:00:13.360 you what Justin Trudeau has been up to since we last talked.
00:00:21.480 So we are in a very precarious position in this country. We need political change, but
00:00:28.160 we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:41.360 Yes, as Sasha the Cat says, please ring that bell so we can beat that YouTube algorithm. Subscribe,
00:00:50.240 but like the station right away so we can beat the YouTube algorithm. And when you ring
00:00:58.140 the bell, you beat Trudeau's censorship. That could be the paramount story of the year.
00:01:05.480 It's the one thing nobody's talking about. It's not on anybody's lips. We've all been talking
00:01:11.180 about universal basic income throughout the holidays and a couple of other stories, which
00:01:16.520 I'm going to get to. But nobody is talking about censorship and that's where Trudeau is
00:01:22.760 going in 2024. It's the third piece of his censorship legislation. It's going to be called the Online
00:01:30.260 Safety Act. They've already got it in the UK. They're working on other projects like it in
00:01:37.580 Commonwealth countries and the United States. Canada is moving ahead with this. You don't hear much
00:01:44.380 talk about it, but it's going to happen in 2024. Now, I want to talk about a story that it's comical.
00:01:52.300 Yeah. Let's listen to this report from an Indian news station.
00:01:58.400 Trudeau, this time in Jamaica. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau's plane has broken down once again.
00:02:05.580 In fact, his plane had faced a technical snag while he was in India in September last year.
00:02:18.380 After the plane fiasco that took place in India, there's been another embarrassing situation
00:02:22.800 for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This time, the embarrassment took place in Jamaica.
00:02:28.880 The Canadian Prime Minister's plane has broken down once again.
00:02:31.980 His plane has now faced a technical snag. A similar snag had taken place in his plane when he was in
00:02:39.880 India in September last year.
00:02:42.540 Yeah. So there they go. You might recall the last time the plane couldn't take off the ground. There
00:02:51.480 were reports, reports that the plane was full of cocaine. Haven't heard anything about this one. He's back.
00:03:01.060 As I record this Saturday morning. He came back last night, Friday night. Currently safe and sound.
00:03:08.960 But they had to send the second jet down. Now, these are the Canadian Forces
00:03:13.480 aircraft that fly the Prime Minister and VIP's Cabinet Ministers around.
00:03:20.380 And they're so well-maintained that they can't seem to make a return trip to Jamaica and back. Couldn't get back from India. 0.98
00:03:30.540 But here we go. Couldn't fly the Prime Minister back from Jamaica. They had to send a second jet down to get him.
00:03:39.960 Am I surprised? No. But there, of course, has been a lot of controversy about this trip.
00:03:47.240 Tens of thousands of dollars that you and I would spend at this Jamaican luxury resort.
00:03:53.100 The owner is an old friend of the family. Yes. Or how many old friends of the family
00:03:59.360 pop up in Justin Trudeau's political life and personal life? And he's also a former member of the Trudeau
00:04:09.300 Foundation. Or actually might be a current member of the Trudeau Foundation. But the question is,
00:04:15.740 okay, so he got all of this free that would cost you and I like $9,000 Canadian. I mean, I can't imagine
00:04:24.220 even if I had that kind of money spending $9,000 plus a night for accommodation.
00:04:33.980 Yes. Even if it's in Jamaica, it's the same beach, the same sunset, the same ocean, a few blocks down
00:04:44.640 for much less the price. But he's getting all this apparently for nothing because it's a Trudeau
00:04:50.880 Foundation board member. It's an old friend of the family. He goes on again that he's getting this all
00:05:00.200 free of charge. And like, there's no problem with that. Now, what if Donald Trump, who of course could
00:05:08.500 afford to spend $9,000 a night, $10,000 a night at a resort, what if he was getting it free for a week?
00:05:20.120 What if he was getting favors like this from his friends while he was president? Do you think there
00:05:28.920 would have been an outcry, an uproar from the mainstream media about how friends of Donald
00:05:34.720 Trump are currying favor? What are they getting in return? Justin Trudeau can afford to stay there
00:05:41.540 on his own dime. He's getting it paid for. What's he getting in return? Even if he's getting nothing
00:05:48.200 in return, the perception is always there that Justin Trudeau is getting something back for this
00:05:55.640 because he's getting a freebie. And he's the prime minister of Canada. He's not a private citizen.
00:06:06.440 He is the prime minister of Canada, one of the more powerful people in the world. Yes, certainly
00:06:13.600 not up there with the president of the United States, but he is as a leader of Canada, a very
00:06:21.900 prominent personality who has a lot of power and decision-making ability. And for him to be staying
00:06:31.320 at somebody's resort free of charge, not only does it look very good, but the potential for abuse
00:06:39.520 is always present. And of course we know that. And of course Trudeau knows that too. But once again,
00:06:48.360 he's walking away from this. So half of the story is comical. Once again, there's an under-maintained
00:06:55.040 Canadian forces jet
00:06:57.340 not able to fly back.
00:07:02.160 But the other part is a little ominous. Once again, Trudeau is up to his usual thing.
00:07:06.300 And of course, if you haven't thought about it already,
00:07:10.720 here's Justin Trudeau escaping Canada during the worst of winter, soaking up the sun in Jamaica
00:07:21.520 at a resort that maybe 0.5% of the population could afford to stay at.
00:07:31.540 Does he have any cognizance of what the average Canadian experiences? The average Canadian probably
00:07:37.700 couldn't even vacation this Christmas because the money is so tight, because their mortgage payments
00:07:46.640 are so high, or their rent payments are so high, or their grocery bill is so high, or they're paying
00:07:51.300 so much for gas or home heating. It's more important to keep the house warm and to keep the fridge filled
00:07:59.440 with food than it is to take off to Jamaica or Barbados or Costa Rica or anything else where it might be a
00:08:09.200 little nicer at this time of year. Most Canadians had to forget about that. But Justin Trudeau
00:08:16.480 never thinks of the optics, never thinks of how that makes average Canadians feel when he's living it up
00:08:25.060 in luxury as usual because he's always on vacation. And that's really the point. Justin Trudeau has been
00:08:34.740 on vacation since he became prime minister. He spends very little time relative to most people who work
00:08:42.820 at his job. And I'm going to play a clip here where he talks about how incredible he thought it was
00:08:51.540 that he would show up once a week for question period and answer questions.
00:08:58.340 And if you watch question period with me,
00:09:01.460 you will notice that Justin Trudeau is rarely ever in the House of Commons during question period.
00:09:07.460 And he might be there for the first five minutes and he's gone. And it's everybody else's turn.
00:09:13.220 And even after that, half the cabinet ministers disappear. So you've got parliamentary secretary
00:09:19.940 standing up and answering questions. This is an interview Trudeau did just before Christmas with
00:09:24.740 Terry DeMont, who was a former Montreal radio host and is apparently just enamored with Justin Trudeau.
00:09:32.900 They go back decades and they're just the best of friends. And Trudeau has often said incredibly insipid,
00:09:40.900 stupid, inane remarks during this interview. In the 2022 interview, he talked about his reading material, 1.00
00:09:50.260 which sounded like that of a teenager. He talked about the kind of TV shows he watches, which is,
00:09:55.700 again, something maybe a 17-year-old would favor. No hard history, nothing that really a prime minister
00:10:06.900 should be attuned to. It's all sci-fi, superheroes, adventure, the sort of thing that Trudeau's mind
00:10:17.780 is easily lost in because he doesn't want to grapple with reality at all. And last year's interview was
00:10:26.660 quite embarrassing. This year's wasn't as embarrassing, but I want to, I've taken out two
00:10:32.580 sections here I want you to listen to because I think it's quite fascinating what he says.
00:10:37.060 The things that they have to do, but on the biggest things and on the really core things, like on the
00:10:43.540 main thing right now, which is affordability, which is housing, which is the things that are really core to
00:10:49.220 everything, along with a couple of big international files, yes, I'm involved in a huge amount of all the
00:10:57.780 aspects of that. But the latest decision on fisheries or the minutia of an approval coming through the
00:11:08.660 industry department or something, no, we have great ministers and great teams that are all about that. 0.97
00:11:13.540 So you never, you never see a press conference and go, oh, shit, why did, you know, why did they 0.95
00:11:21.220 talk about that? Or why did they, why did they, they take that position? 0.99
00:11:25.860 Oh, no, I do that quite regularly. I'm like, ooh, yeah, we're gonna have to clean that up.
00:11:32.420 You know, or, or say, okay, or, or say, okay, if the minister doesn't respond to this issue clearly
00:11:40.660 enough, then I'm going to have to go out the next day, right, and respond to it clearly enough.
00:11:45.700 And it would be better if I am just repeating what the minister already said the day before,
00:11:50.420 and that sort of settles it, right, rather than me having to go in and clean up. I mean, one of the
00:11:55.060 things that we did, um, or that I decided was that every Wednesday, I would take all questions in
00:12:01.300 question period, right? And for a while the ministers were like, woohoo, it's a day we get to sit back
00:12:07.380 and the prime minister has to take all the, all the questions that would be directed at me.
00:12:12.020 And then one of my colleagues, because I didn't want to want to do it, pointed out to them,
00:12:17.140 you shouldn't want the prime minister getting up on your files. If you have a headache that he's
00:12:22.580 getting questions about, and he's having to answer on it, then it's because you put something on his
00:12:28.180 plate that, you know, right, he shouldn't have to deal with. So, I mean, there's, there's this,
00:12:32.740 I'm there to, to, you know, respond to whatever happens, because ultimately the buck stops with me.
00:12:42.740 The buck stops with me. Yes, we have a Harry Truman as prime minister in Canada.
00:12:50.500 Do you believe the farcical statement that is? This is a guy who doesn't take responsibility for
00:12:57.860 anything. And he has the gall to repeat that phrase made famous by Harry Truman. The buck stops
00:13:06.500 with me. The buck doesn't stop with Justin Trudeau. He's rarely there. He's not making decisions.
00:13:12.980 People are making decisions for him. He's rubber stamping things. He doesn't have his hands on
00:13:17.780 anything. He does not have a grasp of what's going on. The only time he has a grasp of what's going on
00:13:25.700 is when he wants to spend money, and he wants to spend money now, and he will overrule his ministers
00:13:32.500 to do that because that's what he wants to do. He wants to buy the favor of Canadians. But to suggest
00:13:40.500 for a moment that he's sitting in his office overseeing all of this carefully, assiduously,
00:13:48.180 making sure mistakes are not made. And if mistakes are made, he's going to address them. He's going
00:13:56.180 to clear up the problems. He's going to ensure there's a consistency in government. Obviously,
00:14:02.820 this is all nonsense. And he spouts this stuff every year in this interview, and he does it in all of his
00:14:09.380 other interviews. Except in this one, we didn't hear him say he's going to double down and punish
00:14:16.340 Canadians just as much in 2024 as he did in 2023. That was a common denominator in all of his other
00:14:24.020 end-of-year interviews. He promised to give us more toxicity and poison in the new year, just like he did
00:14:31.940 in 2023. So that is what Justin Trudeau is talking about. And he's so proud of himself that he was
00:14:38.660 willing to show up once a week and answer all the questions in question period, or at least those
00:14:44.180 addressed to him. So this is a man who's not the buck stops with me person. He's a narcissistic individual
00:14:55.620 who thinks he's always the center of attention. That's the difference. He thinks he's the center of
00:15:00.340 attention. He thinks he's absolutely essential to the running of the government. He thinks he is the glue
00:15:08.420 that keeps the bureaucracy and the government together. But he's just somebody with an inflated
00:15:15.700 ego. Let's listen to another section where he goes after those mega-style conservatives that are so
00:15:23.460 dangerous. And he has the gall, again, to suggest that he's not the extremist. Everybody else is.
00:15:32.660 political movements out there, particularly the mega-conservative movement, that is designed to
00:15:39.380 amplify people's fears and not provide any real solutions to them. I mean, the complexity of the world
00:15:50.900 right now, where climate change has an economic impact and a security impact and social programs
00:15:58.980 have an economic impact and climate impact, and everything is woven in the simplification and the
00:16:08.580 dumbing down of politics to emotional knee-jerk reactions.
00:16:14.900 Excuse me. Excuse me, Trudeau. Dumbing down? Knee-jerk reaction? Oversimplifying? What do you do every
00:16:27.940 day in question period? You can be asked a question about anything, and the answer always has something to
00:16:34.900 do with climate change and Ukraine. Do you honestly think Canadians are going to buy into your theory, 0.95
00:16:43.140 your premise, that climate change is an existential threat, and it's going to destroy the world within
00:16:50.580 a decade if we don't submit to your policies, if we don't live in caves, if we don't shut the power
00:16:56.500 off, if we don't stop driving cars, if we don't stop flying aircraft? Except of yours, of course,
00:17:03.940 so you can get the Jamaican back. But you really believe Canadians have to buy into this,
00:17:09.540 because that's not oversimplification. Everything going back to climate change is not oversimplification.
00:17:17.620 Demanding answers, somehow, is oversimplification. And it's that terrible threat out there of those
00:17:24.740 MAGA-style conservatives. What the hell are you even talking about? Why would conservatives in Canada 0.86
00:17:31.620 call themselves Make America Great Again? I don't think any of the conservative members of parliament
00:17:38.020 are working for the greatness of the United States. They might respect what their Republican
00:17:45.140 counterparts are doing, somewhat. They might say, make Canada great again. But no, they're not in some
00:17:55.060 sort of huge conspiracy to displace Canadian sovereignty just because they don't like you. Let's get back to
00:18:07.220 this for a minute. Is good to mobilize and get people outraged. But it's not good to actually
00:18:15.540 be able to build the kind of consensus and solutions. The emotional register is so impactful in politics
00:18:22.340 these days. So much is done on emotions. I mean, liberals, you know, as reasonable centrists in general,
00:18:30.260 left on sometimes, right on other things, are sitting more or less where Canadians are. And most Canadians
00:18:38.900 are thoughtful and reasonable about life and have their own opinions on a whole different range of
00:18:44.020 things. And, you know, we can usually go and reach them in a thoughtful way. So we don't have to gin up
00:18:52.900 big negative emotions. And it doesn't really work because we tend to be more on the earnest side.
00:18:59.620 Yes, these are problems we can solve. Let's roll up our sleeves and pull together and try and do it.
00:19:03.780 Yeah. And it's it's a harder sell at a time of real anxiety that people are going through to say,
00:19:09.700 yeah, you know what, we're going to we're going to work this in a serious way and we're going to put
00:19:13.380 forward real solutions. Okay, how fascinating. So if the liberals are the ones that are most in tune
00:19:24.820 with Canadians. Now what this is absolute rubbish, because the liberals are the one who are completely 0.98
00:19:34.260 impoverishing this country with inflationary spending, with a carbon tax that is robbing you of money, with a 0.98
00:19:41.860 euthanasia program that is killing Canadians, with a censorship program that is preventing you from
00:19:49.860 saying what you believe on the internet, and with climate change policy that is nothing short of insane,
00:20:03.060 not to mention extremists. The liberals are the extremists. They want to outlaw the gas-powered engine
00:20:11.860 by 2035. Outlaw it. Reduce it. Take it take it off the market. So you can't buy a gas-powered car.
00:20:19.300 And you can just bet they will make it impossible for you to drive a gas-powered car if you if you still
00:20:25.140 own one because they'll put the emissions
00:20:33.460 content so high or or so low that you won't be able to achieve those emissions objectives.
00:20:43.700 It'll be impossible to drive a gas-powered car. That's what Justin Trudeau
00:20:48.660 is going to do. And he wants to basically phase out fossil fuels when there's no credible green energy
00:21:00.020 source to replace it. You cannot run a modern society on solar power and windmills. He wants to
00:21:08.660 force people to use alternative energy when they don't work like heat pumps that are useless in
00:21:17.140 Canadian winters. Crazy ideas like this. And he even wants to shut off the hydroelectricity because
00:21:23.780 that's as his idiot environment and climate change minister Stephen Gilboa has said repeatedly that's 0.99
00:21:32.020 what fighting climate change is all about. It's shutting off the power, shutting off the electricity, 1.00
00:21:38.740 phasing out the gas-powered cars, taking your freedom away. That's what fighting climate change
00:21:44.340 is all about to this government. And you can bet this is all going to implode or perhaps it might explode
00:21:54.500 because this is a plan for disaster, for catastrophe. And for Trudeau to suggest the people who disagree with him
00:22:04.580 are the extremists, are not in tune with Canadian opinion or Canadian ideas, is not only inaccurate, it's typical
00:22:16.100 typical egotism, typical narcissistic thinking from a juvenile. Listen to this man. He sounds like a teenager
00:22:25.940 trying to explain his policies. How did he ever get into this position of power when he's incapable,
00:22:35.060 totally incapable of leading this country? He is only capable of putting his ego on display.
00:22:44.180 So I just wanted to show you that because that's what's been happening over the Christmas holidays.
00:22:49.620 Trudeau, once again, is showing you that nobody else knows what they're doing except
00:22:55.540 he in the Liberal Party. And this is absolutely crazy. I'll be back again tomorrow with some more
00:23:04.420 updates on what the Liberals are doing to Canada and to you. But as I've said in the last broadcast,
00:23:13.620 we are not going to sit back and take this. We are going to resolve to resist. That's not just a pat
00:23:21.700 phrase. It's not just empty rhetoric. We're going to fight the Liberals and their NDP coalition partners
00:23:31.460 on issue after issue after issue. And the Liberals are not going to get reelected.
00:23:43.140 On policies that are not just destroying this country, but are nothing short of bribery,
00:23:51.700 such as the universal basic income, which we discussed last week.
00:23:56.100 Thank you so much for watching today. I'm your host, David Creighton, and I'll be back again tomorrow with more
00:24:04.820 of the news and the issues that you need to know. Thanks for tuning in. Goodbye for now.
00:24:10.660 you
00:24:29.700 you
