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
00:00:41.360
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
00:02:42.540
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.
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
00:07:02.160
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.
00:09:01.460
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,
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.
00:11:13.540
So you never, you never see a press conference and go, oh, shit, why did, you know, why did they
00:11:21.220
talk about that? Or why did they, why did they, they take that position?
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,
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
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
00:19:34.260
impoverishing this country with inflationary spending, with a carbon tax that is robbing you of money, with a
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
00:20:33.460
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
00:21:32.020
what fighting climate change is all about. It's shutting off the power, shutting off the electricity,
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.
