00:00:00.000 The leader of the NDP apparently likes to shop at Metro, for which his brother's company
00:00:10.800 is the chief lobbyist.
00:00:13.560 So, maybe the leader of the NDP can tell us.
00:00:16.520 24 Liberal MPs have lost confidence in the Prime Minister.
00:00:20.700 Will the leader of the NDP finally vote for a carbon tax election?
00:00:24.160 Indeed, will the leader of the NDP finally vote for a carbon tax election?
00:00:33.580 That's just a little bit of the high jinx and the comedy and the high drama that occurred
00:00:38.480 in the House of Commons yesterday during Question Period after the Liberal Caucus Revolt.
00:00:43.500 And when I come back, what's really happening behind the scenes with that caucus revolt?
00:00:49.160 There's a lot more than you saw on CBC, on CTV, Global, or even CPAC.
00:00:57.500 There is a lot of dynamics going on.
00:00:59.740 When we come back, more about that.
00:01:01.880 So, we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:01:05.840 We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:01:19.160 Yes, please like the station.
00:01:27.160 Give us a thumbs up.
00:01:28.940 We're beating YouTube suppression.
00:01:30.580 I have to say that faithfully every day, because I do have to say that faithfully every day.
00:01:35.540 And we are beating Trudeau's censorship.
00:01:37.560 By the way, before I forget, guess what happened amidst all of the furor yesterday
00:01:43.220 over the Liberal Caucus Revolt and the outrage in the House of Commons during Question Period,
00:01:50.000 Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, had its second reading yesterday, very quietly, almost surreptitiously.
00:01:57.540 You have to look at the order paper, the House of Commons, to find out that's happening.
00:02:03.460 And CPAC had a very brief announcement about it yesterday, saying what's coming up today in the House of Commons.
00:02:07.680 C-63, the censorship bill, the Online Harms Bill, the Thought Crimes Bill, is at second reading.
00:02:15.280 Will the Conservatives fight this bill with the energy that's required?
00:02:21.240 Will they fight it reciprocally?
00:02:22.700 Or will they say, hey, we've got our own bill.
00:02:25.100 It's going to be just like this, except it won't be as bad.
00:02:29.040 Better not, because they're going to disappoint a lot of us, including me.
00:02:34.480 But we're not talking about that today, even though we have to mention it as many times as possible.
00:02:40.700 So what happened yesterday?
00:02:42.220 I mean, what was going on here in the House of Commons?
00:02:46.320 And here's the lowdown.
00:02:51.940 Yeah, all you saw on CBC and the mainstream media was, oh, Trudeau survived.
00:02:57.520 And the Liberal Party is united.
00:02:59.440 Trudeau said that three or four times in question period.
00:03:02.280 The Liberal Party is united.
00:03:04.420 Yeah, like hell they are.
00:03:06.260 So, OK, so 24 people signed this document.
00:03:08.980 We thought they were up to 50.
00:03:11.140 How many wanted to sign it, but were afraid to?
00:03:14.240 But we're still hearing talk of deadlines.
00:03:19.280 These MPs, these dissident MPs, are giving Trudeau a deadline of October 25th, 28th, excuse me.
00:03:24.660 And we're seeing this reported elsewhere.
00:03:26.420 Where dissenting liberals give a PM until October 28th to make decision on future.
00:03:31.900 And you're saying, well, what if?
00:03:33.240 What happens if he makes the wrong decision?
00:03:36.400 They want him to make the decision to get out.
00:03:38.760 Now, October 28th is next Monday.
00:03:42.520 So this is still brewing.
00:03:44.020 This is big time drama at the House of Commons.
00:03:47.500 We don't get a lot of big time drama at the House of Commons.
00:03:49.440 This means by Monday, if Trudeau says, I'm staying on, these Liberal MPs promise consequences.
00:03:57.160 And you say, well, what kind of consequences can they offer?
00:04:01.100 Non-confidence.
00:04:03.420 They can vote against it.
00:04:04.580 And just have a look at this.
00:04:07.700 Now, all it's going to take, really, is just enough of those dissident MPs.
00:04:13.160 And they start piling on.
00:04:15.460 It attenuates.
00:04:17.820 Because they gained momentum.
00:04:20.580 That defeats the Liberal government.
00:04:23.400 Here's the numbers.
00:04:24.620 338 seats.
00:04:26.140 Liberals only have 153.
00:04:28.040 They lose 24 or more.
00:04:32.900 Look at that.
00:04:34.220 They need the NDP to survive. 0.55
00:04:38.060 But if those dissidents are peeled away, they won't need the NDP.
00:04:41.920 And the Bloc has already basically said they're finished with the government.
00:04:46.340 They're finished.
00:04:47.460 They want to go to an election because they think it's going to be good for them in Quebec.
00:04:53.020 And why are these Liberal MPs still facing down Trudeau?
00:04:57.940 Even though the mainstream media said, hey, Trudeau won.
00:05:01.180 He's triumphant.
00:05:02.820 That poll says everything.
00:05:04.340 I showed you this yesterday.
00:05:05.800 Nobody else is even mentioning this poll.
00:05:08.180 This is vital to understanding the MPs.
00:05:11.020 57% of Canadians living in a Liberal-held writing want their MP to call on Justin Trudeau to resign and not run again.
00:05:19.180 Now, that is massive.
00:05:20.780 Liberal MPs say, hey, 57%.
00:05:23.520 That means I can't win.
00:05:25.560 That means I'm going to lose my writing if Justin Trudeau stays on.
00:05:28.500 So that is the dynamics of what's going on here.
00:05:34.340 Now, let's watch a little bit of Question Period here because it was just classic.
00:05:39.760 It was just classic.
00:05:40.520 But first of all...
00:05:42.040 Marcus Soraya Farada-Martinez, who is the Liberal National Coach...
00:05:47.120 All right.
00:05:47.540 This was the lead up to Question Period or to the caucus meeting yesterday.
00:05:51.360 Everybody coming in.
00:05:52.500 Trudeau looking nice and casual in his open neck shirt.
00:05:56.880 Coming through the door.
00:05:58.500 Going to caucus.
00:05:59.620 Smiling.
00:06:00.200 He thinks he's got this under wraps.
00:06:03.080 And of course, if you listen to Rosemary Barton, she kept saying, I think we have to understand that the Prime Minister doesn't...
00:06:11.120 Is not one to expunge dissent in his party.
00:06:15.000 He's one that...
00:06:15.800 He's open-minded.
00:06:16.820 He wants to hear his critics.
00:06:18.740 Thank you, Rosemary, for being such a great apologist for the Liberal Party and Justin Trudeau.
00:06:23.720 You do your job very well, if that is your job.
00:06:26.060 And apparently that is.
00:06:27.360 I think that is the Prime Minister walking down the hallway there.
00:06:29.960 Go back to that shot game if you can.
00:06:31.540 There's Justin Trudeau.
00:06:32.360 There he is.
00:06:33.160 The Liberal Party is strong and united.
00:06:34.960 The Liberal Party is strong and united.
00:06:41.120 Well, there you go.
00:06:43.300 Three hours and 16 minutes.
00:06:46.660 Yeah, three hours and 16 minutes inside the caucus meeting.
00:06:49.460 That's him coming out, getting ready for question period.
00:06:52.300 And, of course, he thinks he's won.
00:06:56.280 He thinks...
00:06:56.620 To caucus, the Prime Minister says the Liberal Party is strong and united.
00:07:02.020 We'll see if everyone agrees with that take.
00:07:04.260 That's Sean Casey right there.
00:07:18.960 This is the guy who really is leading the revolt in many ways, along with Ken McDonald.
00:07:24.240 So, do you...
00:07:25.360 This is something I...
00:07:26.140 But, remember, Sean Casey was the guy who proudly stood behind...
00:07:30.820 Beside Justin Trudeau in his riding in Prince Edward Island and said,
00:07:34.900 The days of the internal combustion engine are numbered.
00:07:38.980 By 2030, we're going to get rid of all the gas-powered engines and we're going to go to EVs entirely.
00:07:45.800 And I'm with a Justin Trudeau 100%.
00:07:48.020 Why did Sean Casey change his mind?
00:07:50.780 Voter.
00:07:51.900 Reality.
00:07:53.140 The reality.
00:07:55.020 That's why...
00:07:55.220 I've heard from MPs that I've been speaking with over the last little while,
00:07:58.320 and I'm sure you have read the reports and maybe even seen evidence of it yourself,
00:08:02.380 of the efforts to try to force a leadership change at the top of your party.
00:08:06.280 How widespread is the sentiment you've just expressed inside the Liberal caucus?
00:08:11.420 I would say it's wider than what meets the eye, honestly.
00:08:20.000 There are a lot of people who have concerns.
00:08:24.920 There are many who have a myriad of reasons not to express them.
00:08:30.800 But those who have come to the same conclusion as me seem to be becoming more emboldened with the passage of time.
00:08:42.340 And I think that to a person, it's for the same reason as me,
00:08:47.440 is because everywhere they go in their riding, that's what they're getting.
00:08:51.720 So you think a change in leadership potentially lowers the floor,
00:08:54.660 but also potentially dramatically raises the ceiling for Liberals.
00:08:58.720 Have you expressed this to the Prime Minister, to the Prime Minister's office?
00:09:02.120 Do they know you feel this way?
00:09:04.620 Yes.
00:09:05.140 I had a direct conversation with the Prime Minister on July the 5th
00:09:08.900 and said to him many of the things that I'm saying to you now,
00:09:12.560 including that in my view, history will be very kind to Justin Trudeau.
00:09:18.660 I don't think that a turnaround in the economy is all of a sudden going to cause people to flock
00:09:25.340 to the Liberal Party under Justin Trudeau again.
00:09:29.660 It's hard to know.
00:09:31.160 I think there is significant downside and limited upside, so I'm worried.
00:09:36.140 If not Justin Trudeau, who should lead the Liberal Party?
00:09:38.740 Are you advocating for a particular candidate or just a leadership change?
00:09:42.940 I'm advocating for a leadership change, not for a particular candidate.
00:09:46.700 I think that there are several very qualified people.
00:09:51.340 Anybody but Trudeau.
00:09:52.580 So let's look at question period yesterday.
00:09:55.820 And Trudeau at times appears to be completely unhinged.
00:10:01.500 I know that's an overused expression.
00:10:04.000 He appears to be detached from reality and just going on like he is grasping at straws.
00:10:11.960 Yes, he does that routinely in question period.
00:10:14.600 But there were some very bizarre moments in question period yesterday.
00:10:17.920 And I've captured, tried to capture some of them for you here.
00:10:20.560 And I'll comment briefly when required or when it's useful.
00:10:26.180 After nine years of this NDP Liberal Prime Minister, costs up, taxes up, crimes up.
00:10:37.040 And according to 24 Liberal MPs, time is up.
00:10:42.100 This Prime Minister has doubled housing costs, doubled the national debt,
00:10:47.940 given us the worst economy in the G7.
00:10:50.540 He's paralyzed Parliament with a cover-up of corruption.
00:10:53.940 And two million people are lined up at food banks.
00:10:57.040 But he cannot fix what he broke because his caucus is revolting.
00:11:02.520 Will he call a carbon tax election today?
00:11:07.100 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:11:09.100 Okay, so what was this revolt all about?
00:11:29.940 Partly, not just, but partly because Trudeau has nothing to offer that's new.
00:11:36.380 So what does he go to question period yesterday and talk about?
00:11:38.700 The same three things that the Liberal MPs are saying.
00:11:41.680 This isn't washing anymore.
00:11:44.320 They say free lunch for kids, dental care that nobody can access.
00:11:49.500 The people who are too old to need dental care can access it.
00:11:55.120 Or the very young that don't need it yet, they can access it.
00:11:59.040 Or your pharmacare that is basically giving away free birth control and insulin.
00:12:04.360 Like, that is the panacea for this guy?
00:12:08.880 And he's got nothing else.
00:12:10.380 But he repeats it again.
00:12:11.880 And, of course, he's pulling out, you know, challenges, pulling up his sleeves, doing the work.
00:12:17.380 And he's above politics, remember?
00:12:20.220 He's just there to govern.
00:12:21.800 And he keeps saying, this is his mantra now.
00:12:24.060 And this is why he is going to go into an election.
00:12:27.240 He's not going to prorogue.
00:12:28.400 So he is convinced he's going to win this next election.
00:12:34.280 Not because there's any evidence for it, except in his own mind.
00:12:39.740 So let's listen to him.
00:12:40.480 Seniors and more and more Canadians of all ages, as we move forward to deliver things that are easing pressures on the pocketbooks and building a strong economy for everyone.
00:12:50.140 This is the work that we're doing that we will continue to do.
00:12:52.940 While the leader of the opposition tosses around empty slogans and plays politics, we'll stay focused on the things that matter to Canadians.
00:12:59.560 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:13:04.620 Twenty-four Liberal MPs went to his caucus today to tell him that he's not worth the crime, cost or corruption.
00:13:12.120 They wanted to tell him that he's doubled housing costs, doubled the national debt, sent two million people to the food banks.
00:13:18.060 But he wouldn't let them.
00:13:19.200 He silenced half of the dissidents.
00:13:21.680 In fact, some were intimidated so much so that even Rosemary Barton, the Prime Minister's favourite journalist, said,
00:13:26.660 People don't have phones in the room, and some people are going to the bathroom, texting us.
00:13:32.140 I said this was going to happen before the caucus meeting, and it always happens in these caucus meetings.
00:13:38.460 These MPs leave the room, surreptitiously send text messages to the journalists to complain about what's actually happening in the room.
00:13:48.080 And Rosemary Barton actually admitted this.
00:13:50.980 I just love the way Paulie drew this.
00:13:53.040 Speaker, will the Prime Minister text those dissident Liberal MPs, tell them to come out of the bathroom,
00:13:59.360 and tell the whole world that he's not worth the cost?
00:14:05.860 The right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:14:08.040 Mr. Speaker, in our caucus, people have always been free to speak their mind and have different perspectives.
00:14:13.500 What is interesting, Mr. Speaker, is nobody in the Conservative caucus seems to have spoken out
00:14:19.480 when one of their members got an all-expenses-paid trip to an extreme anti-abortion church in Florida.
00:14:27.120 Nobody spoke out when one of the members on their front bench went and dined with white nationalists,
00:14:34.620 far-right German nationalists.
00:14:36.280 And nobody spoke up, and he's continuing to speak up when their leader refuses to get a security clearance
00:14:43.760 so he can deal with foreign interference.
00:14:54.600 Now, what was that about?
00:14:56.400 It gets even worse, as Trudeau says, some member of the front bench dined with a neo-Nazi.
00:15:06.360 What a bit of BS that was.
00:15:09.700 Of course, and I'll get to this as soon as we have a chance.
00:15:12.840 But he's talking, of course, he's talking, of course, about Christine Anderson.
00:15:17.080 But we'll get to that.
00:15:18.560 This is a comical moment here.
00:15:20.240 Very, very, very comical moment.
00:15:21.920 Has the Prime Minister actually ever been to a grocery store?
00:15:29.700 Both questions the leader of the NDP had.
00:15:32.520 I've actually been to a grocery store with you, Mr. Speaker, in your riding a few years ago in Val Elmer.
00:15:39.240 And I've been to many grocery stores since.
00:15:43.040 In terms of housing, Mr. Speaker,
00:15:45.680 We have created a program to invest in housing, affordable housing across our country.
00:15:54.320 Mr. Speaker, we have created...
00:15:58.680 So, yes, Trudeau's gone to a grocery store with the speaker.
00:16:04.500 A little more about this.
00:16:06.180 The leader of the NDP apparently likes to shop at Metro, for which his brother's company is the chief lobbyist.
00:16:15.300 So, maybe the leader of the NDP can tell us.
00:16:17.800 24 Liberal MPs have lost confidence in the Prime Minister.
00:16:21.960 Will the leader of the NDP finally vote for a carbon tax election?
00:16:25.440 Mr. Speaker, there wasn't a question for the government in that, but let me reiterate that multiple analysts, economists, and the Parliamentary Budget Officer have indicated that lowering inflation has made it easier on Canadians.
00:16:49.100 And the price on pollution that delivers the Canada carbon rebate to Canadians right across the country and puts more money in their pockets is actually helping Canadians with affordability.
00:17:00.600 But if the leader of the Opposition really wanted to help with affordability, he wouldn't have voted against dental care.
00:17:05.360 He wouldn't have voted against a national school food program that's saving hundreds of dollars a year to parents right across the country.
00:17:14.360 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:17:16.040 Mr. Speaker, even Liberal MPs know now, because their constituents keep telling them, that the carbon tax is driving up the cost of food.
00:17:24.940 They wanted to go to caucus today and tell the Prime Minister that Canadians are literally starving, some eating out of dumpsters, because of the carbon tax. 0.98
00:17:34.080 But he sent out his Immigration Minister to attack them, saying that they are, quote, garbage. 1.00
00:17:40.060 What's garbage? What's garbage is the Prime Minister's record doubling housing costs, driving up food prices, and forcing people to eat out of dumpsters. 1.00
00:17:48.620 Will he stop treating his own MPs and Canadians like garbage? 1.00
00:17:52.960 Now, of course, Immigration Minister Mark Miller on Sunday says, this is garbage. 0.99
00:17:59.800 He's saying, oh, he's saying, oh, he really admires the courage of these backbench MPs. 0.98
00:18:15.760 Somebody got to him and say, you know, Mark, maybe it's not helpful if you call your own caucus colleagues garbage and say it's garbage to question the edicts of Justin Trudeau. 0.95
00:18:28.520 Maybe that's not helpful. And apparently it got through to Mark Miller. 0.96
00:18:33.440 But how does Mark Miller really feel? This is the man, of course, who loathes and despises Pierre Polyev on a very personal level.
00:18:40.620 He just hates the man and he never misses a chance to get personal with Pierre Polyev.
00:18:46.240 So I think Polyev is getting a little back here.
00:18:48.580 If Mark Miller is a very angry, vindictive man who has made a mess of Canada's immigration system, as every liberal immigration minister has in the past 50 years.
00:19:03.160 The right honourable Prime Minister.
00:19:12.380 I think the leader of the Conservative Party shouldn't be bragging that none of his MPs have asked him to get a security clearance so that he can actually protect his party from foreign interference.
00:19:24.760 That none of his MPs have spoken out that having one of their members go down to Florida on an all expenses paid trip by an extreme anti-abortion church is just fine for all of their MPs.
00:19:37.980 And that, quite frankly, none of them have any issue with a member on their front bench dining with a neo-Nazi.
00:19:44.060 Mr. Speaker, I would hope...
00:19:45.760 Now that is slander.
00:19:48.360 And he could be sued if he wasn't standing in the House of Commons right there.
00:19:54.220 Christine Anderson could sue him if he said that outside.
00:19:57.620 Christine Anderson is not a neo-Nazi.
00:20:00.660 I've met Christine Anderson.
00:20:02.380 I have heard her speak.
00:20:04.240 She says nothing in support of Nazism or Adolf Hitler.
00:20:07.520 This is a really, really below the belt, beyond the pale remark from a very small man.
00:20:16.340 A very small, diminutive man who won't be remembered well by history.
00:20:23.120 I hope some of his members in his caucus would speak up about some of the...
00:20:27.080 Now that's the honourable member from Wellington, Halton Hills, to please not speak out of turn.
00:20:39.580 You know, and I mentioned yesterday on my redacted segment that Trudeau often talks like Joe McCarthy, Senator Joe McCarthy, who was always rooting out communists.
00:20:49.160 And somebody called me out for that on redacted saying McCarthy was right.
00:20:53.020 Yeah, he might have been right about communist influence.
00:20:57.080 But his tactics often were very bad.
00:21:00.300 And he often didn't have the names he claimed to.
00:21:03.280 And that's the comparison I'm making, the methods.
00:21:05.780 And Justin Trudeau, of course, who would call anything critical of communism as McCarthyite, acts exactly in the same way in smearing conservative MPs without any evidence.
00:21:19.620 He waves around imaginary lists.
00:21:21.680 He claims that conservative MPs are vulnerable to blackmail, that they're in the pay of foreign governments without any evidence at all.
00:21:31.480 So he talks like the Joe McCarthy that Trudeau would have hated because McCarthy was against communism.
00:21:37.440 And Trudeau, of course, arguably, has been a neo-Marxist for much of his life and his real mentality.
00:21:45.620 So that's the point I was trying to make yesterday when I said that.
00:21:50.140 I know McCarthy was right about communism.
00:21:53.060 His methods were often very bad.
00:21:55.460 And that's why a lot of people say McCarthy was the best friend communists ever had, because he didn't do things in the right way.
00:22:03.040 And Trudeau is aping his techniques and exacted by calling somebody a neo-Nazi without any evidence or any sort of proof or any reason at all.
00:22:17.840 But that's the way Trudeau operates.
00:22:19.460 He smears people and he just walks away.
00:22:23.360 Repeatedly, during this question, he's an honorable and very well-respected member.
00:22:28.860 The honorable leader of the opposition.
00:22:30.240 Mr. Speaker, the prime minister who has a lifelong record of racist outbursts is now coming unglued on the floor of the House of Commons. 0.55
00:22:40.340 Yes, a lifelong record of racist outbursts as a blackface performer. 0.82
00:22:50.460 Yes, Trudeau is a gifted blackface performer. 0.80
00:22:53.460 He can put that in his resume, his acting entertainment resume.
00:22:57.600 That's what Trudeau has done best in his life.
00:23:00.660 He certainly hasn't led the country best.
00:23:03.140 He hasn't been an able leader, but he's done a great bit of blackface, if that's the sort of thing you like.
00:23:08.960 And apparently Trudeau does.
00:23:10.340 The question was about the 24 liberal MPs in his caucus that are trying to speak out against his quadrupling of the carbon tax,
00:23:20.320 not because they care about the cost of living of their constituents,
00:23:24.180 but because they're worried they're going to lose the election.
00:23:27.820 So the prime minister is so confident in quadrupling the carbon tax,
00:23:31.920 why won't he call a carbon tax election now?
00:23:40.340 I'm going to leave you with this.
00:23:44.040 You think Trudeau had his wits about him yesterday, or was he just treading water?
00:23:49.340 Was he grasping his straws as he always does?
00:23:51.820 Was he really looking quite desperate?
00:23:53.920 Listen to this exchange here.
00:23:55.140 You can see Trudeau can't even get his own talking points right.
00:23:59.200 He's forgotten the script.
00:24:01.420 He lost his place in the script.
00:24:03.480 He's he forgot his lines and housing costs.
00:24:07.680 So on that subject, the prime minister created a four billion dollar so-called housing accelerator
00:24:13.660 that gave hundreds of millions of dollars to big city politicians across the country.
00:24:19.900 Toronto got the money and construction went down 20%.
00:24:24.440 Winnipeg got the money.
00:24:26.920 Construction went down 15%.
00:24:28.980 Vancouver got the money.
00:24:30.240 Construction went down 19%.
00:24:32.200 Ottawa got the money.
00:24:33.580 Construction went down 10%.
00:24:36.840 Mr. Speaker, when I was the housing minister, we built 194,000 homes.
00:24:41.540 Why won't he follow my common sense example?
00:24:44.860 We'll take no lessons from them on housing.
00:24:48.040 They would rather pick fights rather than invest in the kinds of changes that are improving density
00:24:53.080 and zoning, using public lands, accelerating red tape so that people can get more affordable
00:24:58.660 housing built quicker right across the country.
00:25:01.520 It takes actions and investments to build up this country.
00:25:04.960 That's exactly what we're doing in responsible ways.
00:25:07.460 All he's offering is fights with the provinces and municipalities and cuts to services Canadians
00:25:12.840 rely on.
00:25:13.960 Mr. Speaker, he just accidentally told the truth.
00:25:16.760 He said he he's accelerating red tape.
00:25:20.020 He sure is doing that, but he's not accelerating his math lessons.
00:25:23.660 He's accelerating red tape so that people can get accelerating red tape so that people can
00:25:28.380 get more affordable.
00:25:29.480 Yeah, that's a classic moment from question period, not related to the caucus revolt, but
00:25:35.940 clearly shows Trudeau is not thinking straight.
00:25:39.280 Well, even less straight than usual.
00:25:42.820 This is this drama continues to unfold.
00:25:45.480 People don't think this has been brushed under the carpet.
00:25:50.220 Don't think this has been hidden in the closet.
00:25:52.860 Don't think Trudeau is walking away unscathed.
00:25:55.880 No, he's not.
00:25:56.360 But there's more to come from this because I'll say it again.
00:26:00.800 And if you watch my segment on Redacted yesterday with Clayton, I think I made it quite clear.
00:26:05.440 Why do liberal MPs decide it's time for a leader to go?
00:26:10.200 Not because they think it's necessarily in the best interest of Canada.
00:26:15.200 Not even because they think it's in the best interest of the party, but because they think
00:26:19.840 it's in the best interest of themselves.
00:26:22.240 It is in the best interest of their political future.
00:26:26.100 If they want to win re-election, if they want to stay as a member of parliament, and let's
00:26:31.000 face it, it's a pretty good job, isn't it?
00:26:34.360 It's well paid.
00:26:35.420 You get an annual raise.
00:26:38.100 It's not even debated anymore.
00:26:39.960 It's an automatic annual raise in the House of Commons.
00:26:42.280 And they don't even have to defend it because it's just, well, what could we say?
00:26:48.980 It didn't come up as a matter of debate.
00:26:51.460 And we just, obviously, we took our raise.
00:26:53.240 It would be crazy not to.
00:26:54.680 So they're getting very well paid for arguably, at times, doing next to nothing.
00:27:00.280 And they can get away with that in safe ridings.
00:27:03.920 But Liberal MPs are saying, hey, you know, maybe my riding isn't safe anymore now that
00:27:08.640 Justin Trudeau is so unpopular, the Canadians are just so fed up with him, that I could lose
00:27:14.580 the next time.
00:27:15.540 And that's why they're saying enough of Justin Trudeau.
00:27:18.820 And you think it's just 24 MPs?
00:27:21.400 Hmm.
00:27:22.000 That could become 48 MPs overnight.
00:27:24.360 That could become a huge block of dissidents who want Trudeau to go because they realize
00:27:32.480 this is about their political future.
00:27:35.880 And, of course, they're also worried about the Liberal Party becoming not just the official
00:27:41.020 opposition, but maybe even the third party, maybe finishing behind the NDP, maybe even
00:27:47.560 finishing behind the bloc.
00:27:49.640 That would put them in fourth place.
00:27:52.400 This next election could be the elimination of the Liberal Party as a political force in
00:28:02.440 Canada.
00:28:03.560 And that would be Justin Trudeau's political legacy.
00:28:07.020 Now, Sean Casey, notwithstanding, history will not remember him well as a leader who is
00:28:13.640 only responsible for two things people remember.
00:28:15.900 What are those two things?
00:28:16.580 Legalizing weed and invoking the Emergencies Act and coming down like a dictator on a peaceful
00:28:24.500 protest, freezing people's bank accounts and looking like a thug.
00:28:28.980 That's what Justin Trudeau will be remembered for.
00:28:31.960 Not free lunch, not dental care, not pharma care, not free birth control.
00:28:37.320 People, none of this nonsense. 1.00
00:28:40.440 He will be remembered as an authoritarian hypocrite who wandered around the world making an ass 1.00
00:28:46.880 of himself saying completely ridiculous things about other people being the problem and how 1.00
00:28:55.200 Canada is a beacon of democracy.
00:28:57.860 Well, of course, he's made it anything but in his nine years here.
00:29:01.180 It is time for Trudeau to go.
00:29:02.780 I've been saying that for quite some time.
00:29:04.600 And I know all of my viewers agree with that.
00:29:07.500 But I would like to see the Liberal Party boot him out.
00:29:10.360 I would love to see that happen because that's what Trudeau deserves for what his behavior has
00:29:15.940 been for the last nine years.
00:29:17.740 But I'll say the prediction again.
00:29:19.320 If he doesn't go and if the Liberals don't vote with the Conservatives in a non-confidence
00:29:27.000 motion to defeat the government, Trudeau will stay on as leader.
00:29:31.180 And he will fight the next election because he is the personification of unalloyed narcissism.
00:29:40.560 That's how I describe Justin Trudeau.
00:29:42.320 And that's what fits him best.
00:29:44.560 And that will continue.
00:29:45.440 So thank you for watching today, folks.
00:29:47.340 I really appreciate your viewership.
00:29:49.420 And please keep supporting this station in whatever way you can.
00:29:52.380 I'll be back again tomorrow with all the news you need to know.
00:29:58.160 Because we need to continue to resolve to resist.
00:30:00.440 And as I mentioned at the beginning of this broadcast, the online harms bill just went
00:30:05.400 through second reading.
00:30:06.700 That is the most odious piece of legislation in front of any legislature in the world right
00:30:11.680 now.
00:30:12.220 It's worse than anything that the UK has passed, anything Australia has passed, anything Ireland 0.70
00:30:20.060 has passed, anything Scotland has passed, anything the US is contemplating on passing.
00:30:24.700 It is bad, and we need to defeat it.
00:30:28.660 Thanks for watching.
00:30:29.560 I will be back tomorrow.
