kevin o'leary daniel smith and jordan peterson were at mar-a-lago with donald trump and then
00:01:54.160
smith herself came out and said yes that the the photos are are real they're not uh they're not
00:02:00.840
photoshopped and she just said this over the past 24 hours i had the opportunity to meet president
00:02:06.480
donald trump at mar-a-lago at his golf club and at his golf club this morning we had a friendly and
00:02:11.940
constructive conversation during which i emphasized the mutual importance of the u.s canada energy
00:02:18.000
relationship and specifically how hundreds of thousands of american jobs are supported by
00:02:23.220
energy exports from alberta i was also able to have similar discussions with several key allies
00:02:29.300
with the incoming administration was encouraged to hear their support for a strong energy and
00:02:33.860
security relationship with canada on behalf of albertans i will continue to engage in constructive
00:02:39.120
dialogue and diplomacy with the incoming administration and elected federal and state officials from both
00:02:44.920
parties and i will do all i can to further alberta and canada's interests the united states and canada
00:02:50.020
are both proud and independent nations with one of the most important security alliances on earth
00:02:55.640
and the largest economic partnership in history we need to preserve our independence while we grow this
00:03:01.320
critical partnership for the benefit of canadians and americans for generations to come and you can see
00:03:07.660
the photos that she included uh her talking to trump her shaking his hand they're looking
00:03:13.220
uh very friendly very happy there's a photo of them the next morning at his golf course it looks like
00:03:18.360
trump's about to play golf and uh danielle is uh wearing a beautiful white dress along with
00:03:24.440
kevin o'leary's very sort of flamboyant florida man uh outfit there um and then you can see the three of
00:03:29.920
them talking so very very interesting development interesting to see these individuals in trump's orbit
00:03:37.300
we've been hearing a lot from kevin o'leary sounding off about how canadians should pay more
00:03:42.280
attention to donald trump and try to strike some kind of a deal some kind of a better uh partnership
00:03:47.900
that will ensure greater freedom and economic opportunity for canadians so interesting that the
00:03:53.720
alberta premier has been brought in on this orbit and so what exactly happened what exactly did they
00:03:59.480
talk about what went down well rick bell who is a post media columnist had a column that was posted
00:04:04.980
late last night in the calgary heraldies um basically it sounds like he had had sort of an in-depth
00:04:10.640
conversation with either danielle or one of her close closer aides kind of detailing all uh all the
00:04:18.240
various meetings that they had and how it went down so i'll read you a little bit from this calgary
00:04:22.420
herald uh article here it says um it's saturday night the evening of january 11th around 9 p.m smith is
00:04:30.000
at mar-a-lago trump's resort and headquarters and out of out of this world palm beach florida resort
00:04:35.580
which will once again be trump's winter white house some of the big trump uh some of the trump
00:04:41.580
big shots who's who is in the trump world or in the house we did see some photos uh circulating of
00:04:47.100
people like sylvester salone uh elon musk was there um so you know it wasn't just the the few canadians
00:04:54.140
there there were a lot of very powerful important people um rick continues to say that smith is there
00:05:00.300
and the premier is at a table just a few feet away from where the incoming u.s president will sit
00:05:04.920
when trump and his family and his entourage arrive he makes a beeline for smith he has obviously been
00:05:11.220
told she is the premier of alberta interesting so trump is in a room full of his closest confidants
00:05:17.200
and friends and danielle smith kind of seems like a guest of honor to the point where when trump enters
00:05:23.260
the room he goes straight to danielle smith straight to her to try to make that introduction
00:05:28.760
and to try to meet her wow uh what a compliment and what does that say about the way that trump
00:05:34.080
regards danielle smith it sounds like he really respects her and holds her in high regards it's
00:05:39.240
a great thing for alberta great thing uh indeed for canada uh so i'll continue reading here it says
00:05:44.380
smith as you know has recently been speaking non-stop about oil and gas and is no fan of tariffs
00:05:50.700
trump says he plans to hammer canadian goods going stateside with a 25 tariff a 25 charge
00:05:57.800
once they cross the border smith is on comfortable ground in florida at least as comfortable as you
00:06:03.600
can be these days the premier has made many well-reasoned appearances on trump's favorite
00:06:08.420
tv channel fox news while justin trudeau is going on lefty msnbc she has talked a whole to a whole bunch
00:06:15.660
of movers and shakers in the trump universe this weekend she was at mar-a-lago at the same time as
00:06:20.720
psychologists and right-wing rock star jordan peterson along with tv money man kevin o'leary
00:06:26.780
smith is going to be in washington dc for the trump inauguration inauguration at the table smith and
00:06:34.280
trump have a conversation of around five to ten minutes about energy about oil and gas about
00:06:39.420
alberta and canada smith mentions how production of alberta oil is ramping up in a big way and the
00:06:45.880
u.s and that u.s buys a lot of alberta oil smith asks if trump's want if trump wants more of our oil
00:06:52.560
trump does it is by far canada's biggest export to the americans reportedly the exchange goes very
00:06:59.000
well okay he goes on he says then on sunday trump plays a round of golf smith is invited to have lunch
00:07:05.660
at his golf club and trump pulls smith aside and they have another five to ten minute conversation
00:07:10.940
about energy smith puts out a statement sunday she's expected to speak with the news hounds
00:07:16.000
on monday morning i was one of those news hounds on that call so i'll get to that
00:07:19.880
in just a minute rick bell continues to say the premier says that her time with trump was friendly
00:07:26.260
and constructive she talked about how hundreds of thousands of american jobs are supported by alberta
00:07:32.860
energy going south she confirms other discussions with several key players in trump world and she
00:07:38.920
says and this is key she's encouraged to hear their support for a strong energy and security
00:07:44.300
relationship with trump now no one knows where this will lead this is continuing reading from rick bell's
00:07:50.580
column he says no one knows where this will lead the smart smart money now bets if anyone is going to
00:07:57.080
get a reprieve from trump's tariffs it will likely be the oil patch of course nothing nothing nothing is
00:08:03.320
certain and just to clarify smith herself actually said that this is not going to happen when she spoke to
00:08:09.340
reporters this morning so i'll get to that in a second but i don't think there's going to be any
00:08:13.200
reprieve from these trump tariffs at least after hearing what smith had to say just finally here
00:08:19.100
from rick bell it says through it all smith has always followed the same playbook no matter how
00:08:24.460
the premier may be pushed and prodded to go scorched earth nasty against trump she has not done so
00:08:30.300
when other politicians and clickbait hungry commentators have made a stratospherically big
00:08:35.660
deal about trump taking over canada and making us the 51st state smith would not bite on low-hanging fruit
00:08:42.060
as mentioned in a previous column smith has insisted on serious conversation about how to get as many
00:08:47.860
canadian goods as possible untouched by the trump tariff threat the premier's people see no advantage
00:08:53.580
in wetting their pants when dealing with trump and his negotiating shtick they're not setting their
00:08:58.760
hair on fire or hyperventilating or posturing or running through the streets saying the sky is
00:09:05.160
following following trump smith wants a deal to use a little bit of trump's lingo and meanwhile on the
00:09:12.080
weekend trudeau and his crew on the cbc were already talking up retaliatory retaliation plans
00:09:17.960
against trump's uh tariffs and that's basically just not smith's style so here we see daniel smith
00:09:25.620
going down to florida having a mature face-to-face person-to-person discussion with donald trump trying
00:09:32.660
to find common ground staying calm having a cooler head um whilst basically all the other political
00:09:39.040
leaders mostly on the political left are basically lighting their hair on fire and panicking in the
00:09:46.000
face of trump's threats and so i wanted to commend daniel smith for going down there for doing uh what
00:09:52.880
needed to be done right you see justin trudeau went down there a few weeks ago and seemed to make
00:09:57.800
everything worse right remember that all of those 51st state and governor trudeau all those jokes came
00:10:03.280
after trump's trip down to mar-a-lago so when when trudeau tried to go down to mar-a-lago to meet trump
00:10:09.900
he blew it up and made it worse uh daniel smith seems to go down there and garner respect and have
00:10:15.820
face time with trump and have this this sort of advancing conversation about mutual needs and smith's
00:10:21.800
dislike of tariffs and from my perspective what smith is doing is far more effective far more
00:10:28.540
effective far more helpful uh for canada um than the whole shtick that trudeau and the liberal
00:10:34.940
government are trying to do so smith came out this morning monday morning and further clarified she said
00:10:40.440
that it was indeed a productive friendly conversation uh with trump but she was clear she was clear that
00:10:47.580
tariffs are coming so you can see i was live tweeting this press conference this morning
00:10:53.060
premier smith's speaking to reporters about her meeting with trump calls the meeting friendly
00:10:57.440
constructive but warren tariffs are coming so she was pretty unequivocal that she she said you know
00:11:03.440
no matter what this guy is serious these tariffs are coming and let's be clear these tariffs are going
00:11:08.080
to be devastating devastating to our economy like instant recession uh things are going to get very bad
00:11:13.900
and you know the more conversations that we can have with trump the better um so uh to go on smith
00:11:20.760
criticized justin trudeau saying that she's very concerned about the leadership vacuum she was asked
00:11:26.220
whether trudeau's resignation is helpful she repeated her call for an immediate election sort of repeating
00:11:33.080
what a lot have been saying this whole prorogation of parliament waiting for a liberal leadership race
00:11:39.240
it's not helping it's not helping it's an incredibly important part important time a crucial time in our
00:11:44.900
nation's history we need a negotiator we need someone there with a mandate we need someone who
00:11:49.740
can talk to trump and say i represent the people and whatever you will say about justin trudeau he
00:11:55.360
doesn't have that mandate he knows it hence why he resigned so we don't really have a leader of our
00:11:59.640
country at this point we don't really have a prime minister and whoever the liberals are going to
00:12:04.900
select isn't going to have that mandate either trump will know that this person has not been elected
00:12:09.960
by the canadian people it's a bad scenario that's about to get worse the best thing that canada can
00:12:15.060
do the best thing that trudeau could ever do for canada is to just call an election let the canadian
00:12:20.800
people choose a mandate choose a leader to have a mandate and that leader can go down and talk to
00:12:26.360
trump so so smith just sort of reiterated that um this part was super interesting she was asked about
00:12:33.620
melanie jolie we're going to get to melanie jolie's comments melanie jolie is sort of leaving the door
00:12:38.600
wide open to a potential retaliatory retaliatory tariffs and even an embargo on our oil which would
00:12:44.960
be disastrous danielle smith made that clear she said that basically melanie jolie's idea don't make
00:12:51.960
empty threats and if they were to pursue that option of an embargo there would be a national unity
00:12:58.580
crisis uh smith didn't mince her words actually we have a clip of daniel smith uh responding to this
00:13:05.460
question about melanie jolie so let's play that clip now yesterday uh foreign affairs minister melanie
00:13:12.080
jolie talked about it was asked specifically if in negotiations with trump um canada would consider
00:13:20.920
an energy embargo on the united states and i want to um as leverage what do you think what do you make of
00:13:30.920
what she said well first of all it's uh oil and gas it's owned by the provinces principally alberta and
00:13:40.160
we won't stand for that and you should never ever threaten something you cannot do and i i would
00:13:47.860
encourage the minister to look at a map of where line five goes line five comes down through michigan
00:13:56.900
to get to sarnia and then that feeds the bulk of the supply needed for ontario and connects with line
00:14:05.880
nine which feeds the bulk of the product needed for quebec and so if you cut off that line you are
00:14:14.480
cutting off ontario and quebec so i would encourage the ministers to either understand how our integrated
00:14:22.100
pipeline system works um and start looking at ways that we would be able to practically respond because
00:14:31.160
uh there's no point in making empty threats that cannot be executed on so so daniel smith incredibly
00:14:40.480
strong incredibly firm basically just putting melanie jolie in her place like don't threaten
00:14:46.220
something that you can't do oil and gas is a provincial entity it's provincial jurisdiction
00:14:50.800
butt out feds and by the way who's who's supplying your oil right now look at look at the pipelines
00:14:56.540
uh look at the system the infrastructure there uh wow uh i wouldn't want to mess with daniel smith on
00:15:03.960
this issue and the the the federal government melanie jolie going out there talking about this
00:15:10.420
um not not a good look uh as daniel smith points out smith also mentioned that in talks with trump
00:15:17.620
trump is interested in buying more oil and gas from canada he says yes he does want more he's interested
00:15:23.840
in purchasing more um whereas this question of whether alberta will be exempt whether smith was able
00:15:30.660
to negotiate any kind of an exemption from alberta maybe they won't that the oil coming from canada
00:15:36.380
won't get that 25 tariff uh smith just frankly said no we are not expecting any kind of exemptions
00:15:42.380
preparing the public for what is to come things are going to be bad this is what happens when you
00:15:48.280
have weak leaders this is what happens when you have a federal government that's not even really
00:15:52.600
there that isn't upholding its end of the bargain or its responsibilities there will be consequences
00:15:57.740
the consequences that trump is talking about it's going to be rough it's going to be serious uh smith
00:16:02.920
was incredibly forthright about that and again smith is doing a heck of a lot more for canada advancing
00:16:10.560
our interests trying to find common ground with the incoming president um then some of other canada's
00:16:16.260
other leaders especially leaders on the federal stage leaders who you would expect would have the
00:16:21.020
calmness um to pursue something that is best for canada and not try to escalate the situation
00:16:25.980
and make it worse and i'm specifically right now talking about ndp leader jagmeet singh this guy is
00:16:31.400
just a total disaster again and again everything he's doing it's like he's cosplaying the role of
00:16:36.500
a federal leader he has no idea how damaging this could be the only saving grace is probably that no
00:16:42.140
one will take this person seriously no one in the u.s knows who he is or cares he shouldn't hold the
00:16:47.560
balance of power he holds balancing power of canada right now there is no reason why he should
00:16:51.900
he won't as soon as they're in an election and hopefully no one takes his full seriously
00:16:56.260
here is jagmeet singh he put this video up on sunday playing mr tough guy threatening donald trump
00:17:02.540
promising retaliatory tariffs which would be absolutely devastating for the economy of canada
00:17:08.300
you have no idea how bad this would be for canada singh doesn't care he just wants the clicks he just
00:17:14.400
wants attention here he is threatening donald trump is an absolute joke let's see this clip
00:17:19.140
i have a message for donald trump our country's not for sale not now not ever i lived across this
00:17:26.760
country and i can tell you canadians are a proud people we're proud of our country and we're ready
00:17:31.600
to fight like hell to defend it right now with the forest fires ravaging homes canadian firefighters
00:17:38.460
showed up that's who we are we show up and support our neighbors but if donald trump thinks if you think
00:17:43.940
you can pick a fight with us there'll be a price to pay i've committed that if donald trump imposes
00:17:48.880
tariffs on us we should respond with retaliatory tariffs in kind i think that anyone running as
00:17:55.820
prime minister should do the same okay jagmeet singh sit down be quiet okay you're saying that
00:18:02.680
canadians are ready to fight fight like hell what do you mean what do you mean are you going to register
00:18:07.300
and sign up for the military if trump invades when you say fight like hell like what exactly do you mean
00:18:11.720
slapping a retaliatory tariff will just make things even more expensive for canadians tariffs aren't good
00:18:17.920
on either side and if trump wants to impose those to send a message to canada maybe to increase our
00:18:24.660
military spending um maybe to stop all of our own internal subsidies and regulations that make it
00:18:30.960
unfair for us to trade with our partners uh that should be a call to action for canada to up its game
00:18:37.040
not to sink down even further and tax our own people which is what a tariff does so singh not helpful
00:18:44.400
glad he's not very important glad no one's listening to him uh just demonstrating his own foolishness and
00:18:50.380
ignorance but he's not alone he's not alone he's in good company up there in the federal government
00:18:55.600
uh with his alliance with the liberals here we have the liberal foreign affairs minister
00:19:00.640
melanie jolie and she sort of opens the door keeps the door wide open uh when asked questions on
00:19:07.320
the oil embargo this is one that smith was responding to earlier but let's see this clip of melanie jolie
00:19:13.560
over the weekend on cbc just being completely irresponsible talking about canadian retaliatory
00:19:19.440
measures so if these tariffs are applied as he has threatened them to be which we don't know the
00:19:24.220
case he hasn't announced that you know the specifics but he's saying 25 i was interviewing
00:19:28.960
six economists that the top six economists the the chief ones for all the big banks the other day
00:19:33.760
and collectively they said the hit to the economy we're looking to the tunes of millions of jobs you're
00:19:38.540
looking at a three three percent contraction and essentially an immediate recession so it's in
00:19:43.820
that vein against that backdrop i ask you about what retaliation would look like is your government
00:19:48.840
prepared to cut off supplies of energy for example to the united states what i can tell you is everything
00:19:55.680
is on the table and that's the conversation we will have the prime minister minister leblanc and
00:20:00.580
myself with the premiers next week and that's a conversation also i'll take
00:20:04.800
to uh republican senators and key republican decision makers uh in washington next week
00:20:11.820
because this is indeed a decision that would be taken by president-elect trump that would have
00:20:18.460
devastating impacts on canadians and so for those who are watching us right now
00:20:25.300
it is important to understand that the threat is real and we're acting on it and that's why i'm
00:20:33.260
calling every political leader in this country to be on board because this is not time for division
00:20:39.160
this is not time for weakness this is time of strength and unity
00:20:42.480
unbelievable it's unbelievable that these people are still going down to washington to represent us to
00:20:49.060
represent canadians because i mean what she said at the end there is obviously true this is a big
00:20:53.300
big deal and it's going to have a devastating impact on canada the reality is that any retaliatory
00:20:59.080
tariffs or uh embargoes on our products won't have as big of an impact on the u.s as theirs will on us
00:21:07.300
we're a much smaller country their imports are much more important to our economy and so yes a tariff
00:21:14.160
will hurt them but it'll hurt us 10 times more and so at a certain point you just have to be realistic
00:21:19.620
and this whole like we no partisanship here we all have to be on the same team and it's a team
00:21:24.720
canada approach spare me spare me that nonsense because we don't want you representing us anymore
00:21:30.440
canadians don't want the liberal government representing us anymore you have gotten us into
00:21:34.760
a horrible economic mess and you should not be the ones down there representing us and trying to get
00:21:40.220
out of it we need an election we need canadians to determine who our government will be and these
00:21:45.600
liberals out there it's just unbelievable no one wants her to represent us and the idea that they're
00:21:51.480
not going to close the door on any possible retaliatory uh measures is is just brutal it's
00:21:59.320
just brutal and it's not helping um the situation and speaking of liberals not helping the situation we
00:22:05.700
saw plenty of liberals hand-wringing and making accusations against danielle smith for the crime of
00:22:12.120
even going down and talking to donald trump so here we have a liberal mp uh from vancouver his name
00:22:19.180
is talib noumanahamed and he says sellout night canadian edition at mar-a-lago so apparently just
00:22:26.920
going down and talking to the president makes you a sellout makes you a sellout this is called diplomacy
00:22:32.840
this is called diplomacy but if you're a liberal uh seeing any conservative people anyone right of center
00:22:38.800
go down and talk to the president that is considered a sellout uh what what happened to uh no partisanship
00:22:46.120
here what happened to the team canada uh response robin urbach of the globe and mail uh columnist of
00:22:52.960
the globe and mail she asks a simple question she just says i genuinely don't understand the attack here
00:22:59.020
trudeau was at mar-a-lago a month ago and then this liberal mp replies and he says
00:23:05.140
there are some key differences smith hasn't spoken out against the 20 uh the 51st state crap
00:23:12.100
number two peterson talks down canada every turn three o'leary is advocating for integration with the
00:23:18.260
u.s pm trudeau is canada's pm and has been vocal in defending our independence as have people from
00:23:25.740
other parties like doug ford okay so basically this guy just doesn't like these people because
00:23:31.160
they are conservative like kevin o'leary is one of the few people who have been speaking very clearly
00:23:35.880
and making a lot of sense uh when advocating advocating a new relationship with the united
00:23:40.620
states and that's somehow dangerous peterson talks down canada every turn no he's just talking about
00:23:44.580
his experiences with your tyrannical government and how extreme the liberal government in canada has
00:23:49.800
become he doesn't talk down canada he loves canada and you can tell that when he talks about his
00:23:54.120
upbringing and his time in edmonton and his time in montreal he obviously is a proud canadian loves
00:23:59.040
canada he's not talking down canada he's talking down the liberal government and as far as smith not
00:24:04.280
speaking out against the 51st state uh crap well that's actually not true uh danielle smith had a
00:24:11.340
very strong very firm message uh when trump first started making these comments this is what she had
00:24:16.460
to say just a few days ago on january 7th she wrote this canada is a strong independent nation
00:24:23.240
with the ninth largest economy in the world and our southern neighbor benefits from his economic
00:24:28.600
strength we are the united states best customers we buy more products and services from the u.s than
00:24:34.440
any other single nation and she goes on i will continue to share with americans the economic story
00:24:40.780
alberta has to tell and that's why i will be in washington during the inauguration so actually no
00:24:47.380
smith has been very clear saying that is a strong independent nation uh liberal mps just sort of choose to
00:24:54.380
uh close their eyes and ignore all this uh i'll just get to one more reaction here this one comes
00:25:01.300
again from uh jagmeet singh the ndp leader talking about uh danielle smith's photo that she posted with
00:25:07.520
herself and donald trump he writes nothing to see here canada just canadian conservatives celebrating
00:25:13.660
with donald trump and billionaires days after he threatened to annex canada and just days before the
00:25:19.240
launch of a full-scale assault on the canadian economy jobs and your family again you're saying
00:25:24.800
this is called diplomacy this is called diplomacy this is what leaders are supposed to do donald trump
00:25:29.980
makes a threat canadian leaders go and try to talk him down from that try to make the point that they
00:25:35.900
have a good friendship with the united states that we have a mutual relationship together that we will
00:25:40.620
all benefit from fewer tariffs and fewer barriers that's diplomacy that's why people like danielle smith
00:25:46.680
represent us that's why danielle smith has a heck of a higher a lot more uh a higher approval rating
00:25:54.060
than jagmeet singh does so again just a bunch of brutal brutal stuff uh from the canadian uh political
00:26:02.200
left basically just so offended and um upset by donald trump and donald trump by the way is having
00:26:10.600
none of it so when it comes to this whole thing um trump is basically just staying in his lane saying
00:26:18.340
the same thing that he has said not really wavering here uh here is a clip of donald trump from a few
00:26:23.220
days ago basically just saying that all the stuff that canada gives him the united states doesn't need
00:26:28.420
so doubling down on this idea that he can go ahead with these tariffs um and it won't really impact
00:26:34.440
the united states very much let's play that clip we don't need canada for lumber because we have big
00:26:40.140
forests that we have you know not utilized we're in some cases they're protected which i can take
00:26:45.860
that protection off and you take down a tree and you grow a better tree that's you know pretty common
00:26:51.180
but we don't need anything we don't need their fuel we don't need their energy we don't need their
00:26:55.920
oil and gas we don't need anything that they have and i said to trudeau i said why why are we
00:27:01.680
why are we subsidizing you 200 and 250 billion dollars a year he said i really don't know
00:27:10.060
and i said well i don't know either i said what would happen to canada if we didn't
00:27:16.140
he said canada would be obliterated if that happened i said then canada should be a 51st state
00:27:21.740
and again i mean it's it's it's sad uh but it's true uh canada is subsidized very heavily
00:27:30.440
by the united states you know there's two things that have enabled canadians to basically be run
00:27:35.960
by socialists for the last i don't know 40 or 50 years several generations and that is u.s military
00:27:42.120
protection and alberta oil those two things those two things have allowed the federal government in
00:27:48.360
ottawa to basically operate as a socialist state growing ever bigger ever more powerful taking more
00:27:54.640
and more and more of our money distributing it from the entrepreneurs and the innovators and the
00:28:01.020
wealth producing part of the country and the end society and putting it back into more and bigger
00:28:06.820
government more social programs more socialism and so the reality is if it wasn't for those two
00:28:12.280
things the military and our oil and gas sector canada would be venezuela canada would be a failed
00:28:17.460
state and so at the same time it's like look you have to realize that the united states doesn't have
00:28:23.500
to provide that military protection if they don't want to if they don't feel that they're getting
00:28:27.460
the best deal when it comes to economic partnerships when it comes to the many many regulations and
00:28:32.600
subsidies that canada has it is in every it is very much in their right um to stop that military
00:28:39.720
protection or at least to say you have to pay your fair share you have to pay more of it and at the
00:28:45.400
same time these socialists who run the canadian government who who have managed canada and
00:28:49.860
basically driven our economy into the ground at every opportunity they bash alberta they bash the
00:28:54.600
oil sands they bash a conservative leader uh like daniel smith so it's all just a bit rich and frankly
00:29:01.100
their whole house of cards is going to come tumbling down uh when trump comes into office and from daniel
00:29:07.100
smith's press conference it does sound indeed like on january 20th this is one of the many executive
00:29:12.360
orders that trump will administrate immediately there will be no exemptions even even with the friendship
00:29:18.120
that daniel smith seems to have been forging with president trump there will be no exemptions
00:29:23.400
for oil for energy it will be across the entire economy it will be devastating and i mean we have
00:29:30.100
to prepare for that but we also need to demand accountability and action from our federal leaders
00:29:36.040
we need an election we need an election that's the only position uh that we should be taking over and
00:29:41.560
over the canadian people should be demanding um that trudeau step aside for real call an election for
00:29:46.860
real not a liberal leadership race an election an election to the canadian public so that we can
00:29:51.980
decide who should govern us that's just probably not going to happen justin trudeau was doing the
00:29:58.540
media rounds over the weekend so we showed you some clips of him on cnn on friday well he was also on
00:30:04.600
msnbc over the weekend sitting down with jen saki who was joe biden's former press secretary
00:30:11.580
just a very very partisan left-wing person over an embassy msnbc the most left-wing of left-wing
00:30:17.980
news state stations in the u.s is kind of like their cbc um not as bad because it's not government
00:30:23.460
funded but uh just as nauseating and so he here is justin trudeau just completely speaking into the
00:30:31.960
abyss uh just talking to himself uh no one's really should be paying attention to this guy at this point
00:30:37.880
first he says that trump's uh 51st state comments was actually just flattery about canada let's play
00:30:44.180
that clip do you think it's is this bullying is it trolling you or should we not take seriously his
00:30:51.780
expansion no desire no no i think i think we definitely need to take that seriously i think
00:30:55.900
from my very first conversations with him way back in 2016 he told me how much he admires canada
00:31:01.520
how much he appreciates and and and likes us so uh so i think there is a certain amount of flattery
00:31:07.400
in this that he thinks that we are as great as we are he's right we are great we're also uh very very
00:31:14.620
proud of being canadian if you talk to any canadian you ask them to define what it is to be a canadian
00:31:19.600
they'll talk about all sorts of different things but one of the things we will point out is and we're
00:31:23.700
not americans my goodness what do you even say about a man like that like he totally misreads what
00:31:30.000
donald trump is doing he's saying it's flattery that trump wants canada well just true let me just
00:31:34.660
tell you something he doesn't want canada because of you he doesn't want canada because of the culture
00:31:39.240
that you think is so great and superior to the united states um the the canada that you see no he
00:31:45.940
wants our minerals he wants our resources uh that that that's what he wants he wants he wants he wants
00:31:51.140
the things under the ground um maybe when it comes to canada yeah there's some great people probably
00:31:55.280
wants the hard-working um ones of the bunch the innovative entrepreneurial stuff uh but in the same
00:32:00.940
clip you see he says that it's flattery that trump likes canada so much and then like 10 seconds later
00:32:06.460
when he's talking about what it means to be canadian he goes we're not american like looking down his
00:32:10.860
nose at the american public like we canadians we think we're so much better than you um again and he
00:32:16.140
can't even define canada like he defines canada as just being not american which is not enough it
00:32:21.240
doesn't mean anything it's not universally held belief in canada um that the thing that makes us
00:32:26.600
canadian is that we're not american that doesn't even mean anything uh to me so again trudeau just
00:32:31.920
like just stop man just just go home pack it up stop pretending to represent us i think that this
00:32:37.000
whole trip of trudeau going down going on cnn and msnbc was much more about about trudeau and preserving
00:32:43.220
his legacy and making friends and making inroads and trying to save his own narcissistic uh career it
00:32:49.480
doesn't really have anything to do with promoting canada's interests and trying to get into trump's
00:32:54.340
good books which is what danielle smith is doing so this whole thing has just been a fail got another
00:32:58.520
clip of trudeau here with jen sackey suggesting that uh canada could maybe trade for vermont or
00:33:04.900
something to trade what exactly uh not so clear but let's play this clip i'm assuming he didn't bring
00:33:11.060
up his intention to publicly say he was going to annex through economic means your country it actually
00:33:15.960
it actually sort of came up at one point and and then we we started musing uh back and forth about
00:33:22.320
this and when i i started to suggest well maybe there could be a trade for vermont or california
00:33:28.280
from uh for for certain parts uh he immediately decided that it was not not that funny anymore and
00:33:33.900
we moved on to a different conversation so this isn't this isn't out of the blue that he's doing this
00:33:39.740
but my focus has to be not on something that he's talking about that will not ever happen but more
00:33:47.180
on something that might well happen that if he does choose to go forward with tariffs that raise the cost
00:33:54.440
of just about everything uh for american citizens um that on top of that we're going to have to have a
00:34:01.320
a robust response to that so just kind of an interesting tidbit there he he said that he brought the joke
00:34:08.240
and said that they would want to trade certain parts of canada for vermont or california hmm i
00:34:13.780
wonder what parts he might have been talking there what what part do you think that trudeau would be
00:34:17.340
willing to trade what part of canada do you think that trudeau would be willing to get rid of and
00:34:23.660
trade for vermont or california kind of telling there kind of telling rather than just talking about
00:34:28.360
how we're a one united country and we all stand in unison and you know canada is a great country
00:34:34.280
different than the united states uh he's there kind of suggesting that maybe maybe i'll just get
00:34:39.180
rid of some of these uh pesky conservative voting parts of the country and trade them uh for more
00:34:45.680
left-wing uh political constituents in places like vermont or california hmm that could almost be seen as
00:34:53.020
selling out parts of the country what do you think oh and by the way if trudeau did ever want to follow
00:34:57.520
through with that and trade those conservative voting parts of the country they also happen to be the
00:35:02.300
most productive parts of the country so if that were to ever happen not that it would but if it
00:35:06.280
were to ever happen uh canada would fold even quicker canada would be seeing a recession uh probably
00:35:12.800
something that they could never recover from uh so not not a very funny joke uh no wonder even
00:35:17.440
according to trudeau's own retelling of the story that trump wasn't really interested in having that
00:35:21.700
conversation uh with with trudeau not very funny uh final bit that i want to share from that clip
00:35:27.620
on msnbc trudeau again he did this with jake tapper on cnn on thursday which we played on the friday
00:35:34.220
show if you haven't seen that show already it was our first show back uh for myself this year and after
00:35:39.140
my uh maternity leave first show in i think about eight or nine months uh but anyway trudeau is failing
00:35:45.000
to take any kind of responsibility for the fact that he's gravely unpopular refusing to take any kind
00:35:51.120
of responsibility or accountable accountability for the way that the canadian economy is now in shambles
00:35:56.800
the way that canada's canadian society is in shambles there's a unity crisis uh there's social
00:36:02.100
strife and cultural strife due to unchecked mass immigration he doesn't want to talk about any of
00:36:06.900
that he just blames his uh unpopularity on other things with jig tapper he was blaming it on the
00:36:12.560
right-wing parties and social media misinformation and disinformation um here he blames his unpopularity
00:36:18.860
on what he calls an anti-incumbent wave like a global trend that has nothing to do with him or
00:36:24.440
canada let's play that clip also said when you resigned that you wanted to give your party a chance
00:36:30.460
to win so i think from your perspective i'm wondering is it more of a global trend issue in
00:36:36.540
terms of where your approval ratings are now which is the lowest they've been in your 10 years nearly
00:36:40.680
10 years or is it a you issue as people should understand it i think it's probably a bit of
00:36:46.820
everything i mean right now there's a there's a political cycle where incumbents particularly those
00:36:51.660
who steered us through covid i mean canada did extraordinarily well through covid you know
00:36:56.520
better than just about every other peer tens of thousands less fewer deaths proportionately than
00:37:01.160
than than our our our friends and allies around the world um we inflation hit less hard our economy
00:37:08.740
bounced back faster it was good but there is still a lingering frustration towards incumbents and
00:37:14.800
for me where i lean in on is all the good things we were able to do we put forward policies that
00:37:21.960
are going to make a difference for decades to come in canada and i think right now we're seeing a time
00:37:29.300
in politics where emotions and social media is carrying an awful lot of weight in how people feel
00:37:36.820
about things but i'm always going to lean back on what are the substantive things that are being done
00:37:42.520
what are the substantive measures that make a big difference in people's lives and standing up for
00:37:47.320
the vulnerable supporting people who need it building an economy that works for the middle class
00:37:51.300
these are things that ultimately make the biggest difference in people's lives
00:37:55.700
just absolutely i what do you what can you say to that what can you say to someone who's so
00:38:02.460
unaware has the lack of self-awareness that they really just think that everything they did was good
00:38:08.260
we just have to wait because his policies are going to do good in the next 10 and 20 years
00:38:12.980
um and that's that's how it helps that's how socialism works uh forget about you know ignore
00:38:17.300
your lying eyes in front of you forget about the fact that you can't afford your mortgage or that you
00:38:21.940
can't afford groceries or that everything is so expensive because of his carbon taxes forget about
00:38:26.040
the crime forget about how unsafe you are in your neighborhood because of mass unchecked immigration
00:38:30.500
and our revolving door prison systems just forget all that um it's just it's just a global trend it's
00:38:36.040
just anti-incumbent uh wave this guy has absolutely no self-awareness and it is absolutely pathetic i
00:38:43.060
wanted to go back to one other comment that trudeau made this will be the last clip i share of just
00:38:48.040
trudeau i promise i know so many people in the audience just cringe and say candace stop playing
00:38:52.780
so many trips clips of trudeau we don't want to hear him we don't like him we don't want to see his
00:38:56.820
face and hear his voice anymore i agree my friends not not too much longer not too much longer until we
00:39:02.300
don't have to play these clips in the news any longer uh just one other comment because we know
00:39:07.800
that our friends down in los angeles and in southern california are being hit with an absolutely unreal
00:39:14.580
crisis and tragedy uh with the out of control fires the santa anna winds uh blowing down through
00:39:20.840
there and just creating catastrophe the images and videos have been absolutely devastating um and in the
00:39:26.840
midst of all that again talking about diplomacy right there's donald there's danielle smith out there
00:39:31.520
trying to make inroads in a friendship with donald trump um and here we have justin trudeau smarmy
00:39:36.700
snivelly guy and what does he do he talks about climate change he's talking about these fires and he
00:39:42.520
goes back to his shtick trying to say that this is all the fault of oil and gas and that we need more
00:39:48.200
climate policies in order to stop it it's just so cringe and embarrassing this is a clip from him last
00:39:53.660
thursday on cnn with jake tapper i've been back and forth texting with governor newsom we've offered
00:40:01.260
a tremendous amount of equipment that they're uh they're already accepting there's there's expertise
00:40:05.760
there's things that we're having to do to deal with together as we of course respond to these fires but
00:40:11.840
also know that climate change means they're going to get steadily worse and we have to keep stepping
00:40:16.740
up on fighting climate change too a lot of people out there might say what does climate change have
00:40:21.000
to do with this explain well when the summers get drier when weather gets hotter when weather
00:40:26.860
patterns shift uh communities that were built in a place that you know never saw fires are suddenly
00:40:31.900
seeing fires uh much more frequently there's a there's a shift in everything that means even what
00:40:37.340
we see now is going to just get worse and worse and worse over the coming decades if we're not
00:40:42.560
serious about reducing our emissions and looking for uh ways to protect our future generations
00:40:48.540
that makes no sense justin trudeau what you just said makes no sense he said that summers are hotter
00:40:55.460
and drier can someone point uh our prime minister to a calendar can someone point out that it is january
00:41:01.520
it has nothing to do with a higher a hotter or a drier summer when we are in the middle of winter and
00:41:08.220
he's talking about how the weather patterns have gotten worse the santa ana winds go down through the
00:41:13.600
los angeles hills that has been happening that has existed for hundreds of years probably thousands of
00:41:18.900
years okay this is nothing new these fires are nothing new there's out of control fires in southern
00:41:23.640
california every single year they're usually peak in around october they get very very bad it is
00:41:29.440
because of these winds and these fires and this is nothing new so justin trudeau is just so out of
00:41:34.740
depth here he doesn't even know what he's talking about he doesn't have specific knowledge about these
00:41:38.900
fires he's saying that communities that were built places have to adjust because of the
00:41:42.900
cl changing climate patterns that's just not true that's just not true and adjusters keep quiet
00:41:49.000
don't don't talk about things that you don't understand he's always on a soapbox always trying
00:41:54.240
to push his leftist agenda always trying to defend his terrible policies this one a carbon tax
00:41:59.240
uh it's just cringy and it has to stop but on the topic of canada helping out our friends in california
00:42:05.840
and in los angeles canada did supply some bomber planes that have been used to help fight those fires
00:42:12.800
in california and let me just say watching these firefighters watching these incredibly brave men
00:42:18.620
out there maneuvering uh what they're able to do to put out these terrifying fires is just the absolute
00:42:24.440
height of bravery it is truly incredible to see so i want to play a clip of a canadian bomber uh doing
00:42:31.320
its job doing what it can to help fight these fires in california
00:42:35.180
so it really is incredible there what they do and i have a bit of a montage here a bit more clips
00:42:54.160
these ones aren't canadians aren't necessarily canadian planes or uh pilots but just in general
00:42:59.820
completely brave individuals flying these planes these incredible maneuvers that they're doing
00:43:05.220
working incredibly hard to put out the fire you know there's so many horrible news stories so
00:43:09.040
devastating what is happening down there so it's nice to put a little bit of a positive spin and see
00:43:13.780
something good out of it and i think these these images these displays of heroic masculinity and men
00:43:20.680
doing incredibly brave and dangerous things for the betterment of their community the betterment of
00:43:25.860
society to protect women and children and their community um we don't we don't pay enough attention
00:43:30.920
we don't praise it enough so let's uh play this montage of just amazing clips from that from that fire
00:43:36.200
some folks are born made to wave the flag who they're red white and blue
00:44:01.260
and when the band waves hail to the chief who they point the cannon at you
00:44:08.460
it ain't me it ain't me i ain't no senator song song it ain't me it ain't me i ain't no fortunate one
00:44:22.960
amazing incredible stuff there's another uh footage that i saw that didn't didn't make it into that
00:44:40.780
clip but it was basically of one of those bombers collecting water from the pacific ocean in order
00:44:46.300
to use to pour onto the pacific palisades fire and it's just incredible it's like a huge plane and you
00:44:51.780
imagine uh what it takes to land like on choppy pacific ocean right to fill up the barrel with water
00:44:58.420
to go use that to put out the fire i mean it just takes incredible precision um to be able to maneuver
00:45:03.820
a large aircraft like that and it truly is incredible so hats off to those heroes and we pray
00:45:09.760
for the people of los angeles pray for the brave firefighters helping to put out those fires and for
00:45:14.880
everybody involved okay i want to end the show on a bit of a different note bring it back home
00:45:19.260
to uh canada and a story that i read in true north it was just absolutely incredible to me a story of
00:45:26.720
an ottawa realtor who has had his license revoked um by basically a tyrannical board so the story here
00:45:34.800
is of an individual named mark papineau who's been a realtor in ottawa for 14 years and yet the ottawa
00:45:40.880
real estate board has banned him from doing business what was his crime well he mildly criticized
00:45:47.620
gay pride month and he said that gay pride parades are not appropriate for children instead saying
00:45:54.300
that it was much more appropriate for us to be spending more time honoring our veterans and our
00:46:00.660
troops asking why is it that we only have one day to honor our veterans honor the brave men who fought
00:46:06.760
for canada on d-day whereas we have an entire month for gay pride well i spoke with mark earlier this
00:46:15.080
morning to get the full story and here is what that interview looks like mark good morning thanks
00:46:20.460
for joining us good morning thank you for having me i'm just so blown away by this whole ordeal it's
00:46:26.580
kind of scary what can happen when sort of a group of individuals deem that you've said something uh that
00:46:32.480
they don't agree with so why don't you just walk the audience here through uh the story and what has
00:46:37.960
happened to you sure thank you um so it was about a year and a half ago i believe and um you could
00:46:47.340
actually see if every anybody ever goes back and sees my post um there was a picture that was
00:46:53.200
circulating around uh that was like a picture of a man holding a shield over his family and it was a
00:46:58.840
rainbow and it's funny because a whole whole group of my friends had sent it to me privately
00:47:04.900
and you see my toast post was the first i said there i did it and ironically the reason why i did
00:47:10.120
that is because i was kind of why are you guys sharing this privately and why don't you just share
00:47:14.880
it publicly if this is something that truly bothers you why are we hiding in the shadows so i said you
00:47:21.540
know what i'll go first so the purpose of that picture was really just to say that you're protecting
00:47:27.680
your family against a narrative that you may disagree with something that i want to make clear
00:47:33.940
is that i'm a father first before all things and i take my family seriously and my role as a father
00:47:41.200
is to provide and to protect and there are particular things that are being said in our school systems
00:47:47.700
that i disagree with and i'd heard there were some grumblings that this was moving into our area
00:47:54.340
and i wanted to voice my concern that certain things were being shared in the curriculum
00:48:00.120
that were bothering me but it kind of rolled into as you see the post and people can go back and read
00:48:05.660
it there's just certain things that i felt were going on in our society at the peak of this
00:48:11.500
that i felt was inappropriate and i felt like pride month was long and it was constantly being extended
00:48:18.980
pride month and i'm like okay what is it pride year i totally understand that people can have
00:48:24.300
their lifestyle and do whatever it is that they want to have no issues with that but there is a
00:48:29.600
point where if it's out in the open for everybody to see you're going to expect people to have an
00:48:34.820
opinion and you can't force people to not be able to speak ironically when i mentioned the veterans
00:48:40.400
we have the right to speak that was paid for by the blood of our veterans and i think that we should
00:48:48.420
stand on that right and to exercise that right to pay respect to their sacrifice so i choose to use
00:48:55.620
my voice and and just just to let the audience know i haven't read it to them yet but i mean you
00:49:00.520
should go check this out it's it's something that you you articulate well and i see this sort of
00:49:06.700
sentiment a lot online a lot of people feel this way why is it that we only have one day to honor
00:49:11.760
the veterans that died say on d-day that that that died for freedom that were killed on the beaches
00:49:18.000
of normandy during world war ii to help protect our freedom they get one day uh whereas pride to
00:49:23.520
your point you know it started out as maybe pride week now it's pride month it's it's like every
00:49:27.700
corporation canada every bank every like telecom company they're all leaning so much into it and
00:49:34.900
you know that's that's one thing but the another thing is going to these pride parades where you you
00:49:40.100
make the point where you know if you go to a movie they'll say it's pg-13 or it's rated r if
00:49:44.680
there's mild sexual content um whereas you know we're all encouraged to go to these pride parades
00:49:48.980
uh where there are there's a lot of nudity there's a lot of exhibitionists there's a lot of values that
00:49:54.660
don't really align with the values of most families and certainly not something that you would want
00:49:58.740
your kids to see so i i didn't i didn't have any kind of problem with your post at all you even make
00:50:03.700
clear that you have no problem with with gay people and that you might even go to a drag show with
00:50:08.320
your wife you just wouldn't want your kids there um i i feel differently i would never go to a drag show
00:50:13.180
but you know do each their own right do each their own um yeah and and yet and yet so so tell us
00:50:19.380
mark like what what happened with your professional organization so you're a realtor in ottawa and walk
00:50:25.560
us through sort of the difference between these boards and what what the ruling was against you
00:50:29.600
yeah so um i had an overwhelming level of support from the community my fellow realtors as well um even
00:50:38.480
more so now but what happened is there was a crusade that was started by a particular group of
00:50:44.460
individuals of whom i will not name but they decided that they were going to band together
00:50:51.480
and to have me canceled so what they did is they made several complaints to the different
00:50:56.400
the different bodies that i'm part of one of them is the federally regulated body of which the
00:51:02.000
responsibilities of regulation are passed off into the province such as the real estate council of
00:51:06.560
ontario and then the other body they made a complaint to is the local board that i'm a private
00:51:12.640
member of which is the auto real estate board so the real estate council of ontario's mandate
00:51:17.840
is just this they are the regulators they have a team of lawyers and they review our conduct
00:51:23.500
depending on complaints how we deal with the public and how we deal amongst each other
00:51:28.480
in order to ascertain if there's any wrongdoing that takes place
00:51:31.860
now the they received the complaint and they deemed that my my personal profile of where i made the
00:51:39.380
post was a private post that was a private page and they said well there's there's no real hate
00:51:45.140
speech there either so they basically sent the letters said hey sorry this isn't really our mandate
00:51:50.260
mark's personal life is not our mandate so we're going to just step back from that
00:51:54.180
uh then the ottawa real estate board decided hey you know what um no we disagree and we're going to
00:52:01.940
take this standard and we're going to plant it and we're going to just make an example of mr papino
00:52:08.260
so their mandate truly is to facilitate mls access for realtors they provide a service they don't have
00:52:16.660
a team of representatives that are qualified to review any of these types of
00:52:20.740
um issues that's that's why rico exists um but they've made it a point to regulate realtors speech
00:52:29.860
because within their bylaws they have a rule as a private member board that they reserve the right
00:52:35.540
to regulate our speech both in and outside of our professional capacities so within their board mandate
00:52:43.460
they've given themselves that authority to do so the issue now becomes if a private member board gives
00:52:49.700
itself the right to do this and if they disbar me access then they withdraw my capacity to earn a
00:52:55.620
living which is another infringement of my charter rights so fundamentally speaking they can say yes we
00:53:02.340
have a right within our bylaws that gives us the capacity to exercise judgment on mark of which they
00:53:08.900
banned me for life by the way um now there's a technicality on that they issued some heavy fines in this
00:53:16.020
course i have to take um and then i went through some financial hardship i had some construction
00:53:20.580
projects that went bad the market obviously has to be great and it kind of snowballed which is fine
00:53:25.620
i'll recover and all is well but financially it's been tight so i wasn't able to pay for some of the
00:53:30.420
program at the time that they said i should pay it i tried to work a solution with them and they said
00:53:35.700
if you can't pay beat it we never want to see you again they were waiting for me to make a mistake
00:53:40.820
to get rid of me to be honest wow and so so you had to take basically a mandatory diversity training
00:53:48.020
course like some kind of a re-education camp uh to try to change your mind when it comes to whether or
00:53:52.980
not children should be exposed to male genitalia on the streets during pride month i mean can you tell
00:53:58.980
us a little bit about that diversity training yeah so i haven't taken the course yet i believe that the
00:54:04.260
specific course is called an ethics course um and and ironically like when i was in my my late teens
00:54:11.780
early 20s i went to college to become a police officer um as you can see from my demeanor um i
00:54:18.020
believe in people's rights i believe in a free society and i believe in a controlled society um and
00:54:24.180
what i mean controlled is we have to abide by the laws and the rules and regulations but we also have a
00:54:28.900
right and we have our charter that protects our personal freedoms to make sure that we can walk freely
00:54:33.860
within a society and speak now i took years of ethics classes in my my police training that i
00:54:42.020
that i graduated from so i'm very well averse um with what ethics are and i understand them at a very
00:54:49.140
high level so to be re-educated because of um my personal views it feels very orwellian to me and it's
00:54:58.980
just it's shocking i i just i'm a little bit confused to be honest it doesn't sound like your
00:55:06.820
charter rights are being upheld is this something you're looking to pursue legally against this board
00:55:12.100
or what are your options here mark i i absolutely am reviewing my options against the board the members
00:55:19.860
behind the decisions as well as the people who participated in the crusade um and my number one
00:55:25.700
motivation uh is that they can't they cannot give themselves the power now people so many people have
00:55:33.140
reached out to me since this has happened and they're kind of like this is crazy i can't believe
00:55:37.380
this and and my response to everybody is how can you not how can you be surprised evil happens because
00:55:45.300
evil people do evil things and good people stand and do nothing in the face of evil so of course you're
00:55:53.940
going to have an environment where people do bad things in a society where we're pacified and north
00:56:00.340
korea didn't happen in like a day where the guy said hey i'm now in charge and now the people are
00:56:07.220
sitting in stadiums they're not even allowed to smile when they're watching a performance that's how crazy
00:56:11.620
it gets but that happened rule by rule day by day i heard jordan peterson mentioned that before i'm a
00:56:17.060
huge follower um and i i love his content i don't agree with everything he says but a lot of what he
00:56:23.140
says and it just comes down to you have to be able to speak so i'm going to be pursuing these people in
00:56:32.020
whatever capacities i have whatever options i have uh available to me um i'm looking at my options great
00:56:39.140
well i mean what's happening to you does sound a little bit like what is happening to jordan peterson
00:56:43.140
and to me it's it's disturbing because it's not just government bodies right this real estate board
00:56:47.700
is a private body so you see how people with this mindset that you can't disagree that there's no such
00:56:53.540
thing as free speech um how they maintain power they gain power in little pockets of society and then
00:56:59.780
they impose this why you know your friends are happy to share this kind of a meme privately no one
00:57:04.340
wanted to say it publicly because of what you're going through so i just want to say mark i salute
00:57:09.460
you for your for your bravery uh for standing up for free speech uh if if any of our audience or
00:57:14.580
listeners uh wants to to learn more about your story or hey if anyone's selling a house in ottawa
00:57:19.860
and they want to uh use you to represent them where can where can folks find you yeah i mean they could send
00:57:25.620
me uh an email to mark at team today dot ca and that'll give them the ability to reach out to me
00:57:31.780
they can go on um i believe you guys posted a news article um there's i believe maybe a link of a go
00:57:37.780
fund me that's going to go on there as well if people want to support because uh legal causes are
00:57:42.340
are not cheap and um i'm definitely going to need some support from the community on that one
00:57:46.820
because i'm not fighting this for me i'm doing this for society i'm doing this for this nation i love
00:57:50.740
this country i love what our veterans have done i love who we are and i think that we just need to
00:57:55.940
flex a little bit to get back to where we should be well i couldn't agree more mark papino thank you
00:58:02.180
so much for your time thanks for joining us thank you so much for talking and just one more thing from
00:58:07.140
that interview for the audience so mark was fined four thousand dollars from the ottawa board and on top
00:58:12.740
of that he had to pay one thousand one hundred and fifty eight dollars from his own pocket
00:58:17.300
to attend that ridiculous diversity course offered by the regulator it is such a farce it is so
00:58:24.100
unbelievably orwellian the speech codes that have been imposed in our country we really have our work
00:58:29.140
cut out for us to ensure and to bring back and restore a free society in canada all right folks
00:58:35.300
that's all the time we have for today we'll be back again tomorrow with all the news thank you so much
00:58:40.500
for tuning in i'm your host candace malcolm god bless and we'll see you tomorrow
