A transphobic billboard in Hamilton, Ontario has been taken down, and the Mayor Andrew Horwitz is under fire for his response. Also, a gay pride flag is being used as an identity symbol, and churches are being denied their tax-exempt status.
00:05:15.500Now, I ask you this in all seriousness.
00:05:17.440And I discussed this yesterday with my guest, Matt Alexander, who, of course, was an Ontario teacher, fired for being the father of Josh Alexander, a student who opposed boys using girls' bathrooms at his high school.
00:05:32.260He was kicked out of school, told not to come back, for taking a stand on that.
00:05:36.920Matt was fired for being the father of Matt Alexander and for being suspected of being transphobic.
00:05:44.600And his wife was fired from her teaching position for refusing to participate or promote gay pride events during so-called June pride month.
00:06:01.280But my question to Matt yesterday, and he could see this happening, churches will one day be forced to fly the pride flag or be denied tax-exempt status.
00:06:11.920These will be like Soviet-style churches that essentially sell their souls to the state or sell the souls of their parishioners or their congregations to the state so they can continue to get money or continue to get tax-exempt status or continue to collect, I suppose, from their congregation.
00:06:34.040Do you think that's not going to happen?
00:07:36.840I'm going to start promoting that event.
00:07:38.640It's going to be a day of unity for people of all faiths to say, leave my children alone.
00:07:44.860And we're going to be reminding Pierre Polyev that he once said his government would be a government that says, I'm not going to interfere in your lives.
00:08:01.600He needs to say it every day because that's why people are going to get off their seats, go out their front doors and vote conservative.
00:08:09.040If Pierre Polyev starts to talk like a principled conservative who believes the government should be limited in its growth and in its powers and that individuals matter, we have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly.
00:22:44.160It's been hollowed out after years of cutbacks and indifference from conservative and labor governments.
00:22:52.080This is not the Great Britain of Margaret Thatcher or even Winston Churchill.
00:22:56.360And if the Brits won another war, what did the last two do for them?
00:23:01.560The First World War destroyed the British Empire and set the country into a state of almost permanent financial woe.
00:23:10.220The Second World War permanently bankrupted Great Britain and made them dependent on the United States for the next seven decades.
00:23:22.840That's what wars have done for Great Britain.
00:23:25.720The only country that really profit from the Second World War, if you don't look at Soviet expansionism, the Soviet Union suffered greatly from that war.
00:23:36.180Yes, they grabbed a lot of land after it, but they suffered greatly with tens of millions of casualties, fatalities.
00:23:43.940The United States and Canada were the only countries of benefit from the Second World War in a big way because it brought us out of the Depression with job creation, building all these armaments, all these aircraft, all these ships.
00:23:55.240And, of course, we were untouched by the bombing.
00:24:00.400Certainly not the case for all of occupied Europe or Great Britain or the Soviet Union.
00:24:05.160They all suffered greatly from that war.
00:24:06.940So if Great Britain thinks this is a way, or France, Emmanuel Macron, President Emmanuel Macron, if he thinks this is a way to make people forget what they've done to their economies,
00:24:16.620to make people forget what net zero has done to these countries, just start a war, well, it's going to be catastrophic for both of these countries, just like the last two were catastrophic for both of these countries.
00:24:32.120Let's watch this clip from Benny Johnson, because I have said it several times, and I stand corrected.
00:24:39.980I have said several times Donald Trump was greatly exaggerating or perhaps even spinning a fib when he claimed the Russia-Ukraine war would never have happened if he was president.
00:24:52.540And I said, I don't think that's true.
00:24:56.580Vladimir Putin yesterday in Alaska confirmed Donald Trump's story.
00:25:01.360There is something really remarkable that happened here, which is Vladimir Putin just confirmed one of Trump's biggest campaign talking points.
00:25:10.000You remember Donald Trump would constantly say if he were president, there would be no Ukraine war.
00:25:14.140Commander-in-chief, if that's what you call him, that we've ever had.
00:25:20.420And they like me more than just about any of them.
00:25:23.000And that's based on every single bit of information.
00:25:25.900As far as Russia and Ukraine, if we had a real president, the president that knew, that was respected by Putin, he would have never, he would have never invaded Ukraine.
00:25:36.240So Donald Trump says this, libs make fun of Trump for saying this, and then Putin comes out and says this.
00:25:44.140I remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that this situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities.
00:26:05.440And I said it quite directly back then, that it's a big mistake.
00:26:10.980Today, when President Trump saying that if he was the president back then, there will be no war, and I'm quite sure that it would indeed be so.
00:27:48.120He's done CTV, done CBC, done CBC, done CBC, doing a lot of media.
00:27:51.540And the point he's trying to make is that Canada is the one violating the USMCA, which is the United States-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement.
00:28:04.940I don't really think that's entered popular usage yet.
00:28:10.140But the ambassador is saying Canada is the one putting tariffs on goods that should be protected by the Free Trade Agreement, not the United States.
00:28:20.120So is Mark Carney deliberately fomenting bad relations with Washington?
00:28:25.620Is he deliberately trying to create a trade war by violating the USMCA and perhaps canceling its renewal?
00:28:37.000He's pointing at Donald Trump, but he's the one up to no good.
00:30:16.620So this is where I think this interview is really salient, if you follow defense policy, because it was never clear to me where the F-35 contract began and ended.
00:30:30.100So we have committed to buying 16, which, of course, is not enough to outfit any Air Force anywhere in the world.
00:30:36.520So we're going to follow through with the 16.
00:30:39.280It's the remainder that are up in the air.
00:30:42.660So what the ambassador says here is that Canada is going to end up with two fighter jets?
00:30:47.800Impossible for an Air Force the size of Canada's.
00:30:53.100You can't have two different fighter jets for an Air Force.
00:30:55.560You have to focus on one jet because of maintenance and because of operational readiness and because of interoperability, of course, with your allies.
00:31:04.000These are things I've been saying for literally decades now.
00:34:36.840Now, of course, I broadcast 10 o'clock in the morning.
00:34:38.760We're not going to have a clue who's won for sure until later in the day.
00:34:43.760I'm going to do an evening broadcast on Monday as well, because I think this is a very important moment in history.
00:34:51.540Of course, I think Pierre Polyev will win this race, and I want Pierre Polyev to win this race.
00:34:56.980I think he's best in the House of Commons, and as I've said repeatedly, no, I don't always agree with Pierre Polyev.
00:35:03.400I think he should be taking a tougher stand on equalization.
00:35:07.040He should be promising to reverse equalization.
00:35:09.760I think he should be taking a tougher stance on net zero policies.
00:35:13.500I think he should be taking a tougher stance on mass migration.
00:35:17.220But he's the best we have right now in the front benches of the opposition.
00:35:21.260And there's nobody in the Conservative Party who could realistically, in terms of being there long enough, to get the support they need to be party leaders.
00:35:31.460There's nobody reasonably capable of taking over from Pierre Polyev.
00:35:36.480And I think generally he does a pretty good job.
00:35:39.860And here he is in his, I say, future constituency of Battle River Crowfoot.
00:35:50.120Well, we can start with the good news.
00:35:54.160It's been a great crop in Provost Alberta and right across much of the prairies.
00:35:59.800The bad news, unfortunately, is that the Chinese government has hit us with another round of tariffs, this time 75% on Canadian canola seed.
00:36:10.060That's on top of the 100% of the 100% of Beijing.
00:36:15.080And to Chinese, it seems to be thinking that it can walk all over the country.
00:36:54.500Under the weak leadership of this liberal government, that insult to injury, Mark Carney seems determined to go ahead giving a taxpayer-funded $1 billion loan to Beijing and to Chinese shipmakers to make ferries for British Columbia.
00:37:11.520The Canadian government is backing a $1 billion loan that will go to the construction of ferries for British Columbia that are made in China.
00:37:21.320So imagine the lesson that this sends to the government in Beijing, that if they attack our farmers, they get a billion dollars of credit from our government.
00:37:31.160But, you know, it stacks up yet another loss that we're facing that is painful for our workers, our farmers, our businesses.
00:37:38.280Since Carney was elected on the promise, by the way, that he would be a master negotiator, that would negotiate wins for Canada.
00:37:51.220One, Carney's missed two of his promised deadlines to get a deal with the Americans.
00:37:57.860Under that period of time, the president has actually doubled tariffs on Canada, while the prime minister continues to back down, making concession after concession on digital services tax, on counter tariffs, getting absolutely nothing in return.
00:38:38.480The prime minister went and did some photo ops in Europe.
00:38:40.600But while President Trump has signed a deal with the Europeans to sell $750 billion of American energy to the European Union,
00:38:49.980the EU has promised to buy exactly zero Canadian dollars worth of Canadian energy from our oil and gas,
00:39:00.540which is actually even could be even more competitive if we had a government that would be opening up markets and allowing pipelines to get it there.
00:39:24.940First of all, we want to cancel the billion-dollar loan for the Chinese-made vessels.
00:39:30.740Let's focus on building those types of things here in Canada so we can be strong, self-reliant and sovereign.
00:39:35.880Speaking of sovereign, we also want to pass a Canadian Sovereignty Act, which will unleash our economic independence by taking advantage of our incredible resources.
00:39:48.300That's the best thing Polly has come up with in years, the Canadian Sovereignty Act.
00:39:54.680Why did that not come up during the federal election, I ask you?
00:39:58.520But I've heard so many other people tell me that.
00:40:01.660Polly is talking like the old Polly again.
00:40:50.960And he has utterly failed as a prime minister.
00:40:54.580But yet there is still enough confused Canadians who think he's doing a great job, thank you very much, because he just doesn't look like Justin Trudeau.
00:41:05.780He doesn't wear silly socks or indulge in childish harangues.
00:41:13.060And so Canadians think, well, he must be better than Justin.
00:41:17.380Actually, he's worse because he's smarter.
00:41:19.480But he's not using his intelligence for the benefit of Canada.
00:41:23.300He's using his intelligence to globalize Canada, to marginalize Canada, to ruin our economy further so we will be forced into the European camp and to the globalist camp.
00:41:34.440That's how Mark Carney is using his intelligence and his expertise against Canada.
