Justin Trudeau's response to Donald Trump's election victory in 2016 has been widely derided as "gutless" and "unpatriotic" by critics. But what does it really mean, and why does it matter?
00:04:14.860So although I call them as I see them, and I'm not going to lie to you, I'm not going to lie to anybody to make things seem better than they are, I believe we're heading into a very good year where the people, people like you and I, are going to triumph.
00:04:35.320And I think this is what Donald Trump is all about.
00:04:40.920You know, and we have, of course, Justin Trudeau consistently over the years, every time the people push back.
00:04:49.400Justin Trudeau stomps on them here in Canada.
00:04:54.000He did that to the Freedom Convoy protest.
00:04:57.640Or he calls it these dangerous right-wing forces, as it's happened in Europe.
00:05:05.580He hasn't exactly said that about the United States, because he knows damn well he can't.
00:05:11.520He's on very precarious ground with Donald Trump, as it is.
00:05:16.120And this is what we're going to be talking about today.
00:05:17.900I just have a, this is just a little preamble as we get closer to December 31st, the end of a year.
00:05:25.660It's been a very, very difficult year for a lot of us.
00:05:29.080But 2025, things are going to get better.
00:05:32.620And when you hear Justin Trudeau complain about these horrible right-wing populists who are standing in the way of the globalists and progress,
00:05:43.880know that you're a, look up, and behold, your redemption draws nigh.
00:09:47.820Let's have a look at some flashbacks here about how it's worked in the past when Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump get together in the same room.
00:09:59.960And bear in mind, Trudeau actually did attempt to suck up to Donald Trump during his first term.
00:10:09.040I reported on several stories where Justin Trudeau actually compared himself, yes, to Donald Trump, saying that like Donald Trump, he was fighting for the middle class.
00:10:55.880It's a real pleasure to be sitting down with President Trump.
00:10:59.340The relationship between Canada and the United States is incredibly strong.
00:11:04.120I don't think it's ever been stronger.
00:11:05.880Our work together on the USMCA as we move forward towards ratification has been really tremendous.
00:11:13.700It's been a great process working with – between your team and our team, working with the Mexicans as well.
00:11:21.500We know that we're here for NATO, a 70th anniversary, extremely important.
00:11:26.480The American strength in ensuring that people are stepping up in terms of their military investments is certainly something we've recognized in Canada.
00:11:36.000We're increasing our defense investments by 70 percent over these 10 years because we know that making sure that everyone is there,
00:12:36.740To step up and deliver is really important.
00:12:39.300We have an intense forward battle group in Latvia.
00:12:44.820We're leading the command mission in Baghdad.
00:12:47.560Canadians are a strong part of this alliance and will continue to be.
00:12:51.060But this is just a great opportunity for me to sit down with the president and talk about the many issues in which we align and we work together.
00:13:03.140And they didn't really work together on very much.
00:13:06.740And that's now I'm going to later in the show at the end.
00:13:11.200I want what I'm going to do is show you one of what I call them is BS clips.
00:13:16.440And for the next couple of days until the end of the year, I'm going to show at least one or two of Trudeau's worst moments.
00:13:26.740Probably of 2024, but sometimes we'll have to sneak a couple of years earlier.
00:13:32.840Because it's amazing when you watch how much this man has lied and how much of what he says is utter nonsense.
00:13:42.640And he's been getting away with this for so long.
00:13:47.720And here he is on the ropes right now.
00:14:28.540Trudeau's crisis put spotlight on succession rules for Canada's liberals.
00:14:32.620I only saw this reported from Bloomberg, which of course is not known for its Canadian news content.
00:14:40.480But Bloomberg actually talked to a lot of liberal insiders, shall we say, and they're all confirming that there's a move afoot to change the party rules.
00:14:57.000So that Trudeau or anybody like Trudeau doesn't have to stay in power indefinitely.
00:15:04.020Because they bought this line when Trudeau became leader that, oh, no, this man is going to be the greatest thing we've ever had.
00:15:12.700Let's say, let's ensure that we make him feel welcome.
00:15:17.060That he knows we're never going to challenge his leadership.
00:15:20.220So the liberals changed their leadership.
00:15:22.740So they can't have a leadership review.
00:15:26.740They have to have a national convention.
00:15:30.100You might recall when John Turner, well, I was actually at that leadership review, where his leadership was reviewed because he lost to Brian Mulrooney and it looked like it was all over.
00:16:16.880But the point is, by the time the Liberal Party puts these rules into place or rearranges the rules they have right now, it's too bloody late.
