And the two prorogations in two years, the first to avoid a vote of non-confidence that
00:00:12.800
would have surely brought this government down, the second to avoid difficult questions.
00:00:21.840
Anyone who disagrees with this government gets pushed aside.
00:00:27.000
The challenge becomes that he gets to use every tribune he can use, all the media, all
00:00:36.660
the voices, all the attention, and gets to further marginalize people who disagree with
00:00:43.720
That's why we're talking about prorogation today.
00:00:47.680
Yes, and of course that's a much younger and even more immature Justin Trudeau talking
00:00:54.720
about 2012 about prorogation, which he did yesterday with absolutely no fuss from the
00:01:11.380
We need a political chain, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:01:25.260
Okay, was it just me, or did you all feel that Justin Trudeau didn't really resign yesterday?
00:01:43.260
Because I was writing a story for the post-millennial while this happened.
00:01:55.120
He's still the interim leader of being prime minister, but did he resign as leader of the
00:02:05.200
And you see all of these YouTubers out there saying, Trudeau resigns!
00:02:19.180
And that's perhaps why people with YouTube stations should have a little bit of information
00:02:26.060
about history in public affairs before they go on the air.
00:02:33.820
He said he intends to resign as soon as the Liberal Party finds a successor.
00:02:48.780
Let's listen to what the leader of the Bloc Québécois, and I usually have no time for
00:02:56.040
I think they're treasonous SOVs for sitting in the House of Commons agitating for the separation
00:03:08.640
But let's hear what Blanchett had to say yesterday.
00:03:12.780
What if there is something that is put on the table that the Bloc Québécois has been
00:03:16.340
asking for, that a new Liberal leader decides to say, we would like your support in exchange
00:03:22.520
Now it's time for an election, which I will understand that would be held after the Liberal
00:03:31.080
Party has chosen a new leader, and there's nothing else to be taken into consideration
00:03:43.260
Why does he understand this is going to take place after the Liberal Party has chosen a new
00:03:54.560
Let's listen to Justin Trudeau's remarks again.
00:04:02.340
Every bone in my body has always told me to fight because I care deeply about Canadians.
00:04:09.040
I care deeply about this country, and I will always be motivated by what is in the best interest
00:04:21.840
He's not being motivated what's in the best interest of Canadians.
00:04:30.220
If he was doing what's in the best interest of Canadians, he would not be asking the Governor
00:04:35.600
General to prorogue or suspend Parliament, because what's happening in the next month, two months
00:04:46.480
and a half, he's talking about proroguing until spring.
00:04:51.340
He's talking about proroguing for the entire winter season.
00:04:55.620
In fact, Parliament hasn't met since the October, or actually the autumn update.
00:05:06.000
So literally, this is a season without Parliament.
00:05:10.660
The winter season of 2024-2025 is a season without Parliament.
00:05:16.440
And Justin Trudeau has the gall, again, to suggest he's doing this in the best interest
00:05:24.820
No, he's doing this in the best interest of Justin Trudeau and the best interest of the
00:05:33.140
Which needs Parliament back by January 20th, when Donald Trump takes over the office of
00:05:47.480
Vice President Kamala Harris said Donald Trump won the election.
00:05:56.600
I have to say, I've never liked Kamala Harris, never had anything to admire her for.
00:06:05.960
Standing up and being objective in the face of political reality.
00:06:16.920
13 days from now, Donald Trump wants to slap 25% tariffs on Canada.
00:06:28.700
The fact is, despite best efforts to work through it, Parliament has been paralyzed for months
00:06:37.800
after what has been the longest session of a minority Parliament in Canadian history.
00:06:43.880
That's why this morning, I advised the Governor-General that we need a new session of Parliament.
00:06:51.820
So what's a new session of Parliament going to, how is that going to make any difference?
00:06:58.320
How is that going to make any difference at all?
00:07:04.700
He told the Governor-General, this is what you're going to do, and you're going to like it.
00:07:12.980
She's a worthless piece of crap for doing this.
00:07:26.720
And she gave in to Justin Trudeau's demand that Parliament be prorogued because he says so.
00:07:36.400
It'd be more advantageous for me and the Liberal Party if we prorogue Parliament right now.
00:07:41.740
This is one of the worst examples of constitutional authority being abridged in history.
00:07:54.200
She has granted this request, and the House will now be prorogued until March 24th.
00:08:02.020
Over the holidays, I've also had a chance to reflect and have had long talks with my family about our future.
00:08:10.180
Throughout the course of my career, any success I have personally achieved has been because of their support and with their encouragement.
00:08:21.360
So last night over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I'm sharing with you today.
00:08:26.940
I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process.
00:08:48.460
Now, people who were watching this yesterday did not understand what intend means.
00:08:59.040
It means I'm going to resign in the future when it's convenient to do so.
00:09:05.060
So, Justin Trudeau did not resign as prime minister yesterday.
00:09:10.140
He did not resign as leader of the Liberal Party yesterday.
00:09:14.180
All he said was he intends to resign in the future when the Liberal Party chooses a successor after a robust leadership race.
00:09:31.680
Now, what does that, what is a robust leadership race?
00:09:35.240
Well, I would suggest that's up to four months long.
00:09:39.300
Now, so why does the leader of the Bloc Québécois suggest that it's all going to be over by March?
00:09:52.860
That's Blanchett making assumptions, presumptions, about how long this leadership race is going to go.
00:10:02.000
Who do you think is going to win this leadership race?
00:10:11.780
And we have a bunch of people who nobody even has heard of.
00:10:19.520
But do you really think this leadership race is going to be over in, what, six weeks?
00:10:31.440
Last night, I asked the President of the Liberal Party to begin that process.
00:10:38.900
This country deserves a real choice in the next election.
00:10:42.560
And it has become clear to me that if I'm having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.
00:10:52.660
My friends, as you all know, I'm a fighter, as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process.
00:11:10.380
Last night, I asked the President of the Liberal Party to begin that process.
00:11:15.160
This country deserves a real choice in the next election.
00:11:20.520
And it has become clear to me that if I'm having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.
00:11:28.520
When did he not have to fight internal battles?
00:11:53.260
This is the role of damaged prime minister, and I'm going to resign.
00:12:08.320
As I think I mentioned yesterday, there's an historical precedent for this.
00:12:13.580
But we have to go all the way back to 1979, which I'm sure a lot of my viewers weren't around for, or at least weren't watching the political scene about.
00:12:24.520
But in 1979, Pierre Trudeau, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who most people think was Justin Trudeau's father, declared he was leaving politics.
00:12:42.260
Of course, Pierre Trudeau decided to come back to politics when the situation erupted.
00:12:53.680
Well, he was very tired very quickly of being opposition leader, the official opposition leader in the House of Commons to Joe Clark's government.
00:13:05.420
But it was the first conservative government since 1963.
00:13:12.220
So you're looking at 16 years of liberal government under Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau.
00:13:27.680
And there was a brief nine-month government under Prime Minister Joe Clark.
00:13:35.420
Which was really not a very conservative government, but that's beside the point.
00:13:39.960
So he introduced a 16-cent gasoline tax in his November budget.
00:13:55.160
And the House of Commons declared no confidence in Joe Clark's government.
00:14:00.300
All he had to do, this is how stupid Joe Clark was,
00:14:04.140
was talk to the creditees, the six social credit members in Quebec who were supporting, propping up his minority government.
00:14:14.640
So the creditees voted against Joe Clark, toppling the government.
00:14:25.860
They hadn't even begun to have a leadership campaign.
00:14:29.240
Suddenly, they realized, hey, the election's been called for February 22nd, 1980.
00:14:41.580
So they started a draft Pierre Trudeau movement.
00:14:47.700
And Pierre Trudeau said, you know how I used to shrug like this.
00:14:57.240
And had he not come back, he would have been remembered as the prime minister who invoked the War Measures Act
00:15:04.020
and who flip-flopped on wage and price controls.
00:15:08.620
Only two things he did during his first 11 years as prime minister that were in any way newsworthy,
00:15:16.100
except for perhaps swearing, using the F-word in the House of Commons.
00:15:22.500
Now, if Justin Trudeau is gone in the next couple of months,
00:15:29.480
how will he be remembered for two things alone?
00:15:35.920
Legalizing pot marijuana and using the Emergencies Act,
00:15:42.520
the replacement legislation for the War Measures Act against peaceful protesters in Ottawa,
00:15:50.020
bringing down the full force of the police, literally the full force on their heads.
00:15:55.680
And I was there to see it and narrowly missed having my own head hit by abusive police.
00:16:06.560
That's what Justin Trudeau will be remembered for.
00:16:09.940
So Justin Trudeau is thinking, how can I stay on for a little longer and have a better legacy?
00:16:18.940
And when the government falls in March, they'll want me back.
00:16:24.300
And that's what Justin Trudeau is planning right now.
00:16:33.660
Because Jagmeet Singh, of course, has been the little hypocrite all the way.
00:16:38.120
Yeah, I'm an opposition leader, but I'm also in Justin Trudeau's pocket.
00:16:44.180
Now, Justin Trudeau knows he needs Jagmeet Singh's continued support.
00:16:50.100
Now, what happens if the House comes back in March?
00:16:57.020
Because Donald Trump will have slapped 25% tariffs on Canadian goods and products.
00:17:05.980
He's not impressed with our border security plan.
00:17:09.460
He's not impressed with Justin Trudeau being a lame-duck prime minister.
00:17:12.900
He's not impressed with the fact we're not having an election now.
00:17:19.340
As soon as there is a confidence vote, we will be voting against the government.
00:17:26.440
In terms of changing the election laws, we actually proposed that.
00:17:31.040
We proposed those changes to say, let's make it easier for people to vote.
00:17:36.160
Let's make it easier for people to vote at a different polling station in their riding.
00:17:41.540
The liberals had a shot to actually improve those things.
00:17:52.560
All of them are to blame for the situation we're in right now.
00:18:04.400
The next election is going to be a choice between Pierre Polyev and the conservatives
00:18:08.000
who want to cut from you to give to the rich buddies,
00:18:12.060
or new Democrats who want to fight for you to lower the cost of your groceries.
00:18:16.240
Take on those greedy CEOs and those billionaires that are ripping you off.
00:18:19.740
Okay, so yes, the usual BS from this BS artist, this chronic liar who pretends he's somehow
00:18:29.080
on your side with groceries, although he's related to a grocery king himself.
00:18:35.980
And he had a one-man boycott against the grocery chain that's competing with his brother-in-law's chain.
00:18:55.600
But as I said yesterday and preceding that, I've said this for the last couple of days,
00:19:06.320
Now, had the House of Commons come back on January 27th as planned,
00:19:11.960
and had there been an emergency non-confidence vote the following day as planned,
00:19:20.020
Jagmeet Singh still would have preserved his seat in the Vancouver area and his pension,
00:19:33.240
He can't even imagine making enough money as a corporate lawyer to support himself.
00:19:42.240
He needs your taxpayer money for the rest of his life to sustain himself.
00:19:48.980
Now, it's pretty pathetic when somebody gets into politics just for the salary and the pension.
00:20:02.560
And to bring the government in line with the NDP as a socialist government,
00:20:09.200
and to destroy the NDP party as a viable alternative to the liberals,
00:20:16.560
because he's made it exactly like the Liberal Party.
00:20:20.080
There's no difference between, and the two, the Liberals and the NDP are going to exterminate each other in the next election.
00:20:27.520
They're going to decimate each other in the next election.
00:20:36.100
Let's, let's, let's, okay, was he clear about this?
00:20:40.400
Okay, Jagmeet Singh says, yes, the first available opportunity,
00:20:44.880
the NDP will vote against the Liberal government.
00:20:53.920
It is clear the Liberals have let down Canadians.
00:20:57.060
We fought and fought the Liberals at every step,
00:21:00.700
and we got as much as we could get out of them through our fight.
00:21:05.760
It does not matter who is chosen as the next Liberal leader.
00:21:14.900
the Democrats will be voting against the government,
00:21:18.800
And in that election, Canadians have an important choice.
00:21:22.520
You got to look at what Pierre Polyev wants to do,
00:21:26.000
what he's been spending his past two years doing.
00:21:30.940
We fought to make sure people had free diabetes medication and free...
00:21:36.720
So this guy is telling you he's going to vote against the Liberal government
00:21:56.120
assuming there's going to be a different leader
00:22:31.480
So what, that's going to happen in what, four weeks?
00:22:54.060
And right, they're going to book that right now.
00:23:10.340
who think this is the best news they've ever heard.
00:24:11.720
Justin Trudeau or whomever might take his place
00:24:40.320
you know, Donald Trump shouldn't be talking about us
