Transcript

00:00:00.000 Thank you.
00:00:30.000 Thank you.
00:01:00.000 Thank you.
00:01:30.000 Thank you so much for joining us, everybody. We have a great show lined up for you. We're going to talk about Mark Carney and his very first day as Prime Minister-designate. Later in the show, we're going to talk about the latest with President Donald Trump, the trade war, and Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford's escalation in that battle between neighbours.
00:01:50.160 Later in the show, we're also going to be joined by True North's Clayton Domain to talk about voter fraud in Ontario. There's been some investigative journalism that has uncovered a huge problem when it comes to voting in Canada.
00:02:04.160 And I'm pleased to be joined for most of the show today by our friend Chris Sims. Chris is the Alberta Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Hi, Chris. Thanks so much for joining us today.
00:02:15.180 Good morning, Candice. Thanks for having me.
00:02:17.220 Well, I want to just take a minute to plug a new piece of work that we have done over at Juno News. So if we head on over to Juno News, you will see that we have done a deep dive. We've done our own bit of investigative journalism into the new Prime Minister, Mark Carney.
00:02:32.960 We have a clip of that documentary that I would like to play for you now.
00:03:02.960 So very excited to be releasing that. We went through many of the claims that Mark Carney has made that he has been contradicted on.
00:03:32.960 And frankly, Chris, we did the job that the legacy media refuses to do, which is just dig into it, dig into the claims, try to figure out what the truth is when it comes to the things that we're told about Mark Carney.
00:03:45.860 And we've been told so many things that have just turned out not to be true. So we spent a bunch of time and effort putting that together.
00:03:52.020 And if you'd like to see the entire documentary, please head on over to JunoNews.com.
00:03:56.300 It is available at this point exclusively to our subscribers. And we think it's incredibly important that Canadians get this message.
00:04:05.320 So as everybody saw on Sunday night, Mark Carney was selected as leader of the Liberal Party, which means that he will succeed, succeed Justin Trudeau and become our next Prime Minister.
00:04:16.500 We still don't even know when he's going to be signed in. So at this point, he is just the Prime Minister designate.
00:04:22.360 But I want to talk a little bit about that leadership vote on Sunday night, Chris, because there were a couple of things that just don't, just doesn't really add up to me when it comes to what happened.
00:04:34.580 And so first, I want to point, let's just do a comparison between the Liberals and the Conservatives.
00:04:38.800 So first thing, we were told that the convention that the Liberals held on Sunday evening in Ottawa had fewer than 2,000 people in attendance.
00:04:51.240 Compare that to Pierre Polyev, who did a rally in London, Ontario, a much smaller city.
00:04:56.500 And this is just a rally. And there were an estimated 2,500 attendees.
00:05:00.800 This is according to Juno News. And so just even the idea that they are electing, selecting a new leader for the Liberal Party.
00:05:10.480 And there are a few people that just go to like your run of the mill, Pierre Polyev rally that's not even during a campaign.
00:05:19.680 You know, you had two former Prime Ministers in attendance in Ottawa, and they couldn't even pull out a crowd of more than 2,000 people.
00:05:26.820 And then when it comes to the number of people who voted. So we had been told that there were 400,000 registered Liberals that were going to be voting in this race.
00:05:36.820 And remember that in order to be a Liberal member, you don't have to pay any money.
00:05:41.360 Unlike in the Conservative Party, you do have to pay. For the Liberals, you don't even have to be a citizen of Canada, which to me is just so outrageous.
00:05:48.040 And you can, they open membership to anybody over the age of 14.
00:05:51.520 So you could have a 14-year-old who is a foreign national and not a Canadian, who didn't pay any money, has nothing invested, and you could go ahead and you could vote.
00:06:01.940 So we were told that was 400,000. And yet the party said that 151,000 people voted in the race.
00:06:09.740 Interestingly, they said that 163,000 people successfully went through the authentication process.
00:06:17.960 So out of 400,000, only 163, it seems, could be confirmed to be real people.
00:06:25.020 And of those, only 151% voted.
00:06:28.260 So the Liberals are running around today saying that 93% of their party voted in this race, but only if you take that smaller number.
00:06:37.080 And 163,000 people, I mean, that seems kind of like a lot.
00:06:42.180 But in the world of politics, I mean, that is significantly smaller than the Conservative Party.
00:06:47.880 The Conservative Party had 417,000 people vote in their leadership race.
00:06:53.440 I mean, 160,000 people, that's fewer than the number of people who receive emails from me, like on my email list.
00:07:00.000 And I'm sure it's the same with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
00:07:02.840 Not a very large percentage of Canadians.
00:07:05.340 And so we're told, sure, Mark Carney got 80, 85%, I believe, of the vote.
00:07:10.680 But again, that's of that smaller number.
00:07:13.800 This isn't any kind of a resounding mandate from Canadians.
00:07:18.700 And it raises so many questions, Chris, about the authenticity or how secure this process is.
00:07:26.300 If 400,000 people were on the list and only 150,000 of them actually voted, what happened to the others and why weren't their votes counted?
00:07:34.680 What do you make of all this?
00:07:36.520 Well, it's a great question, Candice.
00:07:37.980 And I saw some of the voter breakdowns.
00:07:40.040 I'll get to that in a second on regionalism and where they were voting from.
00:07:43.680 I thought that was pretty interesting.
00:07:45.460 But you're right.
00:07:46.100 I did find it a really small number of people.
00:07:48.600 Like, for example, the Taxpayers Federation, when we send out a survey or something to our supporters, it goes to around 250,000 people.
00:07:55.740 And that's just one advocacy group.
00:07:58.520 So that's not including Fraser Institute or any other group.
00:08:01.280 That's just the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
00:08:03.820 And so to have that small group of Canadians now selected the prime minister-designate, he hasn't been sworn in yet, is really quite eye-opening.
00:08:13.360 I found it interesting on where these folks apparently were voting from.
00:08:18.140 And so apparently they were voting largely from, say, downtown Toronto, downtown Ottawa, really kind of hyper-urban places, but not the more what you would call kind of the working class, middle-income, newer Canadian areas.
00:08:36.380 So, for example, my uncle actually works in London as a security guard near the soup kitchen there, which unfortunately, by the way, is getting flooded with people.
00:08:45.240 Record numbers of people are going to the food bank in the soup kitchen there.
00:08:48.900 He sees it there every day.
00:08:50.240 Lots of people struggling.
00:08:51.700 Down the street is where that Pierre Polly of Raleigh was being held.
00:08:55.280 So I found that very interesting that I was hearing numbers everywhere between 2,500 and 3,000 people at the Pierre Polly of Raleigh.
00:09:02.580 Yet in downtown Ottawa, where they're selecting a new prime minister of Canada, kind of a big deal for that.
00:09:09.120 Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, if that's your party, that seems like a pretty big deal.
00:09:13.640 And they were able to only pull in a smaller crowd.
00:09:16.520 And it was a smaller crowd, even apparently according to the CBC, saying this is a smaller crowd.
00:09:22.200 So I found it really telling that the issues of affordability and people just being broke, broke, mattered more, if you take a look at the tea leaves and the data sets, than the glitz and glamour that was going on in Ottawa.
00:09:37.340 Well, it's just, it's so remarkable.
00:09:40.260 You know, you think that the Liberal Party, they have been in power for the last nine years.
00:09:45.380 Like you said, they're selecting their new prime minister.
00:09:47.600 They had Jean Chrétien.
00:09:48.620 They had Justin Trudeau.
00:09:50.660 They had kind of like a stellar lineup if you're a Liberal and you're excited.
00:09:54.040 Like imagine if there was an event that had Stephen Harper speaking, that had Pierre Paglia speaking, like had all the big players in the conservative movement.
00:10:03.820 I'm telling you, there'd be tens of thousands of people in attendance for that.
00:10:08.780 And again, I just find it really worrying and concerning that so many people who had signed up to vote in the Liberal leadership race didn't get to vote.
00:10:17.600 And I'll tell you, Chris, like my inbox was filled with concerned Liberals who had been turned away.
00:10:23.760 I received many of these sort of tips of people who had registered, who are Liberals, who wanted to vote.
00:10:29.400 And some kind of trivial discrepancy meant that they were blocked.
00:10:34.520 Like one, you know, an example would be like if you're, if you go by Dan, but your name's Daniel.
00:10:39.880 And so, you know, when you register and you wrote Dan, but then the idea that you tried to produce said Daniel, and they just wouldn't let you vote.
00:10:46.600 And, you know, when that happens on scale, I mean, we had the Globe and Mail pointing out that only 40% of the registered Liberals voted, which means that 60% were rejected.
00:11:00.680 I mean, how can you walk around and say that Mark Carney has this huge mandate, even from within the Liberal Party, when 60% of the people who wanted to vote were somehow found to be illegitimate and not able to vote?
00:11:16.060 To me, that is so suspicious and it's so alarming.
00:11:20.020 I hope that someone is able to uncover.
00:11:22.860 We're talking to, we're talking about a whistleblower later in the show who has done some undercover journalism to expose flaws in the Ontario voting system.
00:11:31.120 But I would really like to see what is happening with the Liberals, because that is a huge percentage of people who were unable to vote.
00:11:39.540 And again, just for context, because we keep hearing that 85% of Liberals voted for Mark Carney and only 62% of Conservatives voted for Pierre Polyev back in 2022 when he became leader.
00:11:49.440 And yet, everybody said that Pierre Polyev had like a resounding victory.
00:11:53.860 But if you just look at the numbers, 132,000 people voted for Mark Carney, whereas 295,000 voted for Pierre Polyev.
00:12:05.840 And so more Canadians, twice as many Canadians, in fact, cast their vote in a leadership race for Pierre Polyev.
00:12:16.500 And, you know, I have a hard time really believing that Mark Carney has any kind of a mandate.
00:12:22.080 I want to just stay with the Sunday night event, because there was a couple of things that were really kind of resounding to me.
00:12:30.760 One of it was that Mark Carney pledged that he would get rid of the capital gains tax and get rid of the carbon tax.
00:12:36.040 So I imagine you folks over at the Canadian Tax Federation were giving yourselves a little pat on the back because you were the ones that were really leading the campaign against these disastrous taxes.
00:12:45.660 And so the fact that both parties kind of are in agreement about that is good.
00:12:49.440 One thing that I really noted was that when Mark Carney announced to the liberal audience that he was getting rid of carbon tax, the place like erupted in cheers.
00:12:57.780 And it just seems so ironic to me that like the liberals who for the last 10 years have been pushing this green agenda, saying that the planet is on fire and that we have to tax ourselves and shut down our industry in order to save the planet.
00:13:10.020 And, you know, the key policy of Prime Minister Trudeau had been this carbon tax, which was also championed and demanded for by Mark Carney in the background.
00:13:20.240 And here you had the entire liberal convention applauding, like erupting in cheers over the fact that they were getting rid of it.
00:13:26.880 So from a taxpayer's perspective, what do you think of all that?
00:13:29.980 So many points there.
00:13:30.940 Very briefly, just touching back on the issue between mandates, I will point out that Pierre Polyev has been a member of parliament since he was in his early to mid 20s, and he was then the opposition leader.
00:13:45.000 However, with Mark Carney, this is the first time that someone with zero parliament hill experience.
00:13:51.120 So has not been a member of parliament, has not been a senator, has not been a cabinet minister, is now going to be catapulted directly, do not pass go, do not collect $200, all the way into the seat of the PMO.
00:14:04.720 So yes, John Turner had taken a turn out of parliament, and then he was put back in.
00:14:08.580 There were a few earlier prime ministers that kind of fall under that, but they had been senators before, or they had been cabinet ministers before, or even prime ministers previously, before they became prime minister again.
00:14:18.980 This is the first time that somebody, you know, off the street, so to speak, is now becoming prime minister.
00:14:25.960 And so I think that is why there's more scrutiny from across the board.
00:14:30.120 It's been mainstream media and independent media going, this is pretty interesting.
00:14:33.900 So I think it's the severity, the level of power that is giving more scrutiny to this mandate, whether or not he has one.
00:14:40.960 To the issue of the carbon tax, we were happy to hear Mark Carney say he's going to scrap the carbon tax,
00:14:48.460 but he said that, this is the catch, he said that in a leak through his leadership team early on, and that soaked up all the headlines.
00:14:57.680 It was like that ShamWow commercial with the blanket.
00:15:00.220 It just sucked up all the headlines.
00:15:02.020 Mark Carney, ding dong, the witch is dead.
00:15:03.840 They're getting rid of the carbon tax.
00:15:05.460 But then the devil's in the details.
00:15:07.440 Then he made his announcement in Halifax and said he's going to immediately remove the consumer carbon tax.
00:15:13.660 So what does that mean?
00:15:15.500 And then later on in Kelowna, he changed it again.
00:15:18.240 And he said he's not going to axe the tax.
00:15:20.540 The crowd laughed at that idea, which really got my dander up, Candace.
00:15:24.660 And then he said he's going to change the carbon tax.
00:15:28.240 So face value, at least the one thing Carney should do right now, like today, is tell the cabinet ministers,
00:15:35.160 hey, put in a request through, you know, order in council, get rid of the carbon tax now.
00:15:40.560 And they can do that without Parliament sitting.
00:15:43.000 They can change the amount collected by the carbon tax in their orders to zero.
00:15:47.980 So that's the very least he can do now, because right now Canadians are still paying this thing.
00:15:53.220 And it's set to go up April 1st.
00:15:55.140 To give you an idea, the average, not a huge mansion with an indoor swimming pool and three big personal cars,
00:16:00.880 the way Trudeau used to say, the average Alberta household is going to be out $440 this year just for heating their home.
00:16:08.780 So Carney should do the right thing today, Candace, and make that carbon tax rate go down to zero.
00:16:15.680 That's for now.
00:16:17.200 But you're right.
00:16:18.280 He's been in the background pushing for carbon taxes basically his entire professional life, his entire political career.
00:16:25.480 Like, it's all through this book.
00:16:27.420 I know that your folks there at Juno and True North did a lot of work on this.
00:16:31.420 I know Cosman did a big deep dive on this.
00:16:33.180 It's the keystone to his worldview.
00:16:37.280 Carbon taxes are a keystone to Mark Carney's worldview.
00:16:41.160 So for him to turn away from it is like a vegan suddenly eating steak.
00:16:45.280 That is a big deal.
00:16:47.000 So we're going to take him at his word right now and push him to get rid of the consumer carbon tax so at least it's off of everybody's heat bills
00:16:54.220 and off the price at the pump between now and April 1st.
00:16:57.840 Then we're going to see what's going to happen during the election.
00:17:00.640 Well, I would say it's not quite like a vegan eating steak because he hasn't actually eaten it yet.
00:17:04.760 It's like a vegan ordering steak.
00:17:06.240 And it's yet to be seen whether or not they'll actually eat it.
00:17:08.680 Great point.
00:17:09.320 I mean, it's like, yeah, everything that he believes, everything that he's built his career upon this whole net zero approach
00:17:15.440 that has been devastating in the UK and you now have UK officials coming out saying,
00:17:20.280 Canada, be careful with this guy.
00:17:22.200 He was a disaster in the UK.
00:17:23.840 Former Prime Minister Liz Trust said that financial columnist Matthew Liu also had a column saying the same thing.
00:17:31.120 Yeah, he's going to get rid of the consumer facing one, but the devil's in the details.
00:17:35.040 And, you know, just the fact that the liberal audience was cheering over that, I think it's really just all about crass politics
00:17:42.040 because Mark Carney is just a continuation of Justin Trudeau.
00:17:46.600 Like he, what we've seen is kind of a remarkable bait and switch.
00:17:51.340 Justin Trudeau, greatly unpopular, tanked in popularity, has done so much damage to the Canadian economy,
00:17:57.860 to Canadian unity, to our sense of country, to our safety.
00:18:01.260 Just the list goes on and on.
00:18:02.660 And he's unpopular, so he taps his economic advisor to come out and take over.
00:18:08.940 And he admits so much.
00:18:10.460 So Mark Carney was in Parliament yesterday talking to the reporters for the first time.
00:18:15.360 He said that he just finished a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
00:18:18.540 and that the transition will be seamless and quick.
00:18:21.180 Of course it is, because they have the same views, they have the same position, they have the same staff, right?
00:18:25.860 It's literally just, it's just a switch.
00:18:27.880 Let's play Mark Carney in his own words admitting all of this.
00:18:30.600 I just had a long meeting with the Prime Minister.
00:18:34.640 We discussed the most important issues for our country, obviously including Canada and U.S. relations,
00:18:41.500 issues of national security.
00:18:43.760 And yes, the transition between the Prime Minister and myself,
00:18:48.420 that transition will be seamless and it will be quick.
00:18:53.480 He was even kind of smirking about that.
00:18:57.480 Like, of course it'll be quick and seamless because it's the same, it's the same thing.
00:19:02.260 Yes.
00:19:02.640 What do you think?
00:19:03.560 Yes.
00:19:04.100 So parties have not changed.
00:19:06.460 Power hasn't really changed.
00:19:08.120 This is just a transition from one party leader within the Liberals to the other party leader.
00:19:12.660 I can't help but kind of smile because I've worked on Parliament Hill.
00:19:16.820 I worked there for like probably around 20 years, give or take.
00:19:20.460 And to see Mark Carney there standing in the foyer,
00:19:23.340 I'm wondering if Dominic LeBlanc was his MP buddy that helped him through security
00:19:27.460 and got the wand and everything, just like somebody would if you're taking a tour of the building.
00:19:32.020 Because again, he is not a member of Parliament.
00:19:35.520 But in this, we have an interesting system in the Westminster system.
00:19:39.360 Technically, you don't need to be a member of Parliament to be a member of Cabinet.
00:19:43.960 And the Prime Minister is the first Cabinet Minister chosen by and accepted by the Crown.
00:19:51.300 So this is up to King Charles III and through his representative, Mary Simon, the Governor General,
00:19:57.180 to then swear him in to Cabinet and have him be the Prime Minister.
00:20:01.440 I found it really interesting that there's this strange kind of Jekyll and Hyde approach to him being changey and new.
00:20:10.280 Meanwhile, everybody who's followed politics knows that he's been right in there advising these folks.
00:20:16.100 In fact, folks might remember just before this dust-up started when Chrystia Freeland, the narrative goes,
00:20:23.340 says she didn't want to run a 60-something billion dollar deficit.
00:20:27.660 She only wanted to run a 40 billion dollar deficit.
00:20:30.500 Who was going to replace her?
00:20:33.240 Mark Carney.
00:20:34.800 Like, everybody on the Hill knew that he was going to be the person to replace her as Finance Minister
00:20:39.460 once outgoing Trudeau Prime Minister was getting rid of her.
00:20:44.260 So to have it now being played as if he's the new guy, but he's also the old guy, it's kind of mind-bending.
00:20:50.180 What really gets me is, again, he's on the record so many times, Candace.
00:20:54.820 This wasn't just a one-off comment that somebody said at a party or a bar or something.
00:20:58.860 Like, he has written, like, literally a book on this stuff.
00:21:03.240 He got his undergrad at Harvard.
00:21:05.760 He got his PhD at Oxford.
00:21:07.960 He takes a global view to this stuff.
00:21:10.460 Like, on the front of his book, it's literally the planet with scaffolding around it.
00:21:14.380 Like, he's going to fix the whole of the earth for us.
00:21:18.280 What got me, Candace, is that throughout this book, he talks about carbon taxes.
00:21:23.160 He talks about things like power plants and our hot water tanks being stranded assets in the future.
00:21:30.880 Because he wants to switch it all over to wind and solar.
00:21:34.480 He talks about leaving more than 80% of oil and gas in the ground.
00:21:39.480 And this is not something I'm digging up from him from the 80s.
00:21:42.040 Like, he just published this thing just after the lockdowns.
00:21:44.920 And so I'm really hoping that some of those journalists who are there,
00:21:49.200 standing in front of him in the Parliamentary Press Gallery,
00:21:51.640 stick a mic in his face and get him to answer these questions.
00:21:54.820 It's also, you know, the entire thing is just so staged
00:21:59.040 that it almost feels like we're living out an Orwell novel.
00:22:02.020 Because we were told on January 6th that Justin Trudeau was resigning
00:22:05.200 because of internal conflicts in the party.
00:22:07.800 And that he just couldn't manage being Prime Minister with these fractures, right?
00:22:12.280 Presumably talking about Chrystia Freeland, exactly what you were saying,
00:22:15.160 that he was trying to kick her out.
00:22:16.380 She said it in interviews.
00:22:18.260 He said, come deliver the fall economic update.
00:22:21.440 And then I'm going to fire you the next day.
00:22:22.840 And I'm going to replace you with Mark Carney, right?
00:22:24.560 And she said, I'm not going to do that.
00:22:25.660 Not great people management.
00:22:26.460 That's just not good people management.
00:22:28.040 Yeah, I'm going to pull the plug.
00:22:29.120 And it's funny that you said, you know,
00:22:30.720 fiscal restraint in this government is,
00:22:32.880 I'm only willing to do $40 billion in deficits, not 60.
00:22:36.100 60 is too far, but 40, I'm OK with that.
00:22:39.140 And then they turn around and they say,
00:22:40.980 oh, look, 85% of our members support Mark Carney.
00:22:43.880 Pay no attention to the 60% that mysteriously vanished
00:22:46.920 and didn't get a chance to vote.
00:22:48.420 And then to your point that this is just the same government,
00:22:51.180 Mark Carney announced yesterday they had appointed Marco Mendocino
00:22:54.280 as his chief of staff.
00:22:56.180 Of course, Marco Mendocino was Justin Trudeau's immigration minister,
00:22:59.960 among many other positions that he held.
00:23:02.600 So same crew, same people, same insiders.
00:23:06.700 I want to go to this photo because I mentioned this on our live stream
00:23:10.460 the other night, that if you would ask me at any point in the last nine years
00:23:13.440 how I would be feeling and what I would be saying the night
00:23:16.580 that Justin Trudeau got removed from office,
00:23:18.540 like his last day at Prime Minister,
00:23:19.720 I would have assumed that I would be in good spirits
00:23:21.840 and optimistic and happy about the future of Canada.
00:23:24.140 And yet I feel the exact opposite.
00:23:25.740 I feel like filled with dread and just worrying about the future of our country.
00:23:31.260 Justin Trudeau on his way out is sort of making a mockery of all Canadians,
00:23:34.820 as he tends to do.
00:23:36.400 This is a great photo that you actually sent to me
00:23:38.460 that was taken by a Routers photographer of Justin Trudeau
00:23:41.340 carrying a chair, his own chair, out of the House of Commons.
00:23:44.900 I guess this is one of the traditions of our parliamentary system
00:23:48.960 or our Westminster democracy.
00:23:51.000 And I don't know if we can zoom in on that face, Sean,
00:23:53.640 but Justin Trudeau, always the entertainer, always the jester,
00:23:59.260 you know, elect a clown, get a circus, sticking his tongue out.
00:24:05.420 What do you make of this as the image of Canada's democracy
00:24:11.420 in our Westminster system?
00:24:12.560 Well, it's truly an iconic photo and kudos to Carlos Osorio
00:24:16.720 who snapped that photo, like you said, for Routers.
00:24:20.160 Just even if I remove, you know, my feelings about it,
00:24:23.660 if you look at it again, the photographer uses,
00:24:27.940 there are these tiny little windows up in the upstairs hallway
00:24:30.800 looking down into the House of Commons.
00:24:32.840 And the photographer uses the window frame to frame.
00:24:36.520 Put the photo back up on the screen here.
00:24:38.780 It's really quite something if you look at it.
00:24:40.680 Like if we still had, look at this, if we still had printed history books
00:24:44.520 or encyclopedias, this would be in one of them.
00:24:47.560 Because you look at the artistry where the photographer is using
00:24:50.660 the natural window frame.
00:24:52.360 His foot is still in the air, so it's an action shot.
00:24:55.760 Like it's just an outstanding photo.
00:24:57.980 Now, if you look at the subject matter, you're right.
00:25:00.420 I was doing a little contest on my own social media saying,
00:25:03.140 what should we name this, of the budget will balance itself,
00:25:06.880 or I doubled the national debt.
00:25:09.600 I thought maybe the Miley Cyrus song, I came in like a wrecking ball,
00:25:13.340 might be more suitable because his tongue is hanging out.
00:25:16.200 And this is just fiscal issues.
00:25:17.660 Again, like I'm not exaggerating.
00:25:19.540 That man's government did double the national debt.
00:25:23.520 That is the same guy who kept on cranking up carbon taxes on us.
00:25:27.520 And when reporters dared ask him about it, he simply said,
00:25:32.080 well, the only people that really feel the cost of the carbon tax, Candace,
00:25:35.520 are people in gigantic mansions with an indoor swimming pool
00:25:38.760 and three big personal cars.
00:25:41.000 You could not have said, let them eat cake louder.
00:25:44.460 And so this guy's record is a disaster, an absolute fiscal dumpster fire.
00:25:50.380 And I know other issues are with that gentleman
00:25:53.460 and that there's other people that are upset with him about other issues.
00:25:56.200 But from a fiscal standpoint, just an absolute disaster.
00:25:59.840 And so, yeah, that photo tells.
00:26:02.780 A thousand words, doesn't it?
00:26:04.540 I want to move on to talk about the latest with regards to our American neighbors.
00:26:09.040 And I thought a good segue to this was to go back to Sunday night
00:26:12.180 and see a clip of our former prime minister, Jean Chrétien,
00:26:15.640 who I have a lot of time for these days.
00:26:17.320 I think that he's much more sensible than the run-of-the-mill liberal.
00:26:21.080 But I thought this joke was absolutely just such poor taste
00:26:24.600 and really, again, pouring gasoline on the fire.
00:26:26.720 So here is a clip of former prime minister, Jean Chrétien,
00:26:29.800 joking about burning down the White House.
00:26:32.700 Let's play that clip.
00:26:34.580 With the RBC Avion visa, you can book any airline,
00:26:38.380 any flight, any time.
00:26:40.540 So start ticking off your travel list.

00:27:05.360 During the War of 1812,
00:27:08.980 Americans who came to what is known,
00:27:11.860 Canada, on a mission of conquest.
00:27:14.320 They were defeated by Colonel de Salaberry
00:27:19.060 in what is now Quebec
00:27:20.800 and by leaders like the great Indigenous chief
00:27:24.880 Tecumse.
00:27:27.420 And I don't know,
00:27:28.160 apparently some burned the White House at that time.
00:27:35.420 But I'm told to do it.
00:27:38.420 But I'm told to do it.
00:27:40.160 So some say someone burned the White House back then.
00:27:42.940 Sure, that is true.
00:27:43.740 During the War of 1812,
00:27:44.760 that happens as a historical fact.
00:27:46.480 In fact,
00:27:46.880 the American National Anthem
00:27:48.120 is written by someone who observed this.
00:27:50.840 And that is what he's talking about.
00:27:51.980 The rockets, red glare, bombs bursting in air.
00:27:53.600 That was the British,
00:27:55.080 the Canadians,
00:27:56.160 engaging in a war.
00:27:58.360 Is that really the best thing to mention
00:28:00.820 and to joke about?
00:28:01.900 Again, you could hear the auditorium burst in applause
00:28:04.360 when he said that we burned the White House down
00:28:06.220 and then kind of saying,
00:28:08.020 you know,
00:28:08.240 they told me to do it,
00:28:09.020 like told you to do it,
00:28:10.300 to say it,
00:28:11.180 or told you to do it again,
00:28:12.200 like burn the White House down again.
00:28:13.960 You know,
00:28:14.420 part of it is a language barrier, perhaps.
00:28:16.840 But, you know,
00:28:17.500 given the backdrop of President Trump
00:28:19.580 and the back and forth that we're having,
00:28:21.320 we're still in the middle of a tit for tat with war.
00:28:23.860 I want,
00:28:24.580 with a trade war,
00:28:25.740 I want to just quickly,
00:28:27.500 Chris,
00:28:28.420 before I get your reaction,
00:28:30.540 just the latest,
00:28:32.200 is that Premier Ford in Ontario
00:28:34.320 said that they,
00:28:35.520 Ontario will slap the 25% levy
00:28:37.560 on U.S.-bound electricity.
00:28:39.340 So he's going to go through with that
00:28:40.720 even though we had heard
00:28:41.700 that President Trump
00:28:42.560 was pausing
00:28:43.480 most of the tariffs
00:28:44.560 due to the NAFTA,
00:28:45.860 the U.S. MCA agreement.
00:28:47.400 And in response,
00:28:48.880 President Trump on Monday
00:28:50.520 was quite angry about it.
00:28:52.080 So I want to read
00:28:52.700 a Truth Social post
00:28:53.980 that he put up.
00:28:54.720 He said,
00:28:55.020 despite the fact that Canada
00:28:56.440 is charging the U.S.
00:28:58.740 from 250% to 390% tariffs
00:29:01.080 on many of our fawn products,
00:29:02.940 Ontario just announced
00:29:03.880 a 25% surcharge
00:29:05.100 on electricity of all things,
00:29:06.540 and you're not even allowed to do that.
00:29:08.940 Because our tariffs are reciprocal,
00:29:11.220 we'll just get it all back
00:29:12.740 on April 2nd.
00:29:13.860 Canada is a tariff abuser
00:29:15.340 and always has been,
00:29:16.940 but the United States
00:29:17.700 is not going to be subsidizing
00:29:20.100 Canada any longer.
00:29:21.340 We don't need your cars,
00:29:22.560 we don't need your lumber,
00:29:23.600 we don't need your energy,
00:29:24.900 and very soon you will find out
00:29:26.380 Make America Great Again
00:29:27.720 with three exclamation points.
00:29:29.500 So it seems to me
00:29:30.600 that Doug Ford
00:29:32.140 is just making everything worse.
00:29:34.780 And again,
00:29:35.440 those clips of people
00:29:36.600 like Jean Chrétien,
00:29:37.860 they circulate,
00:29:38.760 the Americans see them,
00:29:39.740 they know that Canadians
00:29:40.800 are mocking them
00:29:41.860 and joking about
00:29:42.600 burning down their White House
00:29:43.780 at the convention
00:29:44.800 where they're naming
00:29:46.040 the new prime minister.
00:29:47.300 I mean,
00:29:47.620 it's not a good look.
00:29:48.520 What do you think?
00:29:49.380 Not a great look.
00:29:50.420 And years in radio
00:29:51.920 and of listening
00:29:52.560 to former Prime Minister Chrétien,
00:29:54.380 I think what he said was
00:29:55.540 I'm too old to do it,
00:29:57.680 not told to do it.
00:29:59.180 So maybe even a little bit
00:30:00.900 more gasoline
00:30:02.700 dumped on the fire.
00:30:03.660 Like I'm too old to do it now.
00:30:05.240 You guys go do it, yeah.
00:30:06.640 So I'll just take off
00:30:08.760 my CTF hat for a second here.
00:30:10.980 In more of a radio host mode,
00:30:12.980 I've interviewed
00:30:13.680 like probably thousands of people
00:30:15.760 from literally every place,
00:30:17.820 like a prime minister
00:30:18.640 and people literally
00:30:19.900 locked in prison.
00:30:20.580 You really need to
00:30:23.120 kind of de-escalate
00:30:24.580 a situation
00:30:25.420 when they're trying
00:30:26.280 to get a point across
00:30:27.200 or you're trying
00:30:27.700 to truly be heard
00:30:28.780 or have someone else
00:30:30.140 feel they're being heard.
00:30:31.880 So usually the rule is
00:30:33.160 de-escalate,
00:30:34.840 find common ground
00:30:36.060 and work towards a solution.
00:30:38.580 Those three things
00:30:39.700 work well
00:30:40.860 in most arguments.
00:30:43.320 This just seems
00:30:44.460 to be dumping
00:30:45.100 more gas on it.
00:30:46.620 And the sad thing is,
00:30:47.720 is that it's always
00:30:48.620 the normal working people,
00:30:50.340 Candice,
00:30:50.880 that bear the brunt of this.
00:30:53.240 There's a famous picture
00:30:54.880 of a chess board
00:30:55.740 where it shows pawns
00:30:57.040 and knights
00:30:57.580 and rooks
00:30:58.420 all lying down,
00:30:59.460 bloodied on the battlefield
00:31:00.800 of ideas
00:31:01.640 or an actual battlefield.
00:31:03.120 And the king and queen
00:31:04.100 of both sets,
00:31:05.040 the black and the white,
00:31:06.080 over on the side
00:31:06.900 having dinner.
00:31:08.420 Right?
00:31:08.800 And it just always feels
00:31:10.180 like it's the average
00:31:11.160 working person,
00:31:12.020 the small business person,
00:31:13.540 the beef farmer,
00:31:14.300 that person,
00:31:15.500 the oil patch worker
00:31:17.180 that is going to get kicked
00:31:18.920 over this sort of stuff.
00:31:20.840 Now,
00:31:21.260 as far as whether
00:31:22.200 or not to slap
00:31:23.040 extra export tariffs
00:31:24.920 on power,
00:31:26.140 I don't know.
00:31:26.860 I'm of two minds of that
00:31:27.780 because I recently heard
00:31:29.320 listening to our
00:31:30.260 former colleague,
00:31:30.920 Brian Lilly,
00:31:32.080 talk about this.
00:31:33.700 And he's our
00:31:34.120 former Sun News colleague.
00:31:35.440 And he talked about this
00:31:36.620 on some podcasts
00:31:37.420 on Sunday,
00:31:38.140 probably on yours as well,
00:31:39.460 where he pointed out
00:31:40.740 that that's the only thing
00:31:42.600 that really got
00:31:43.240 a lot of attention
00:31:44.000 in the States
00:31:45.120 of like,
00:31:45.700 hey,
00:31:46.160 I'm going to make
00:31:46.880 your power costs more,
00:31:47.980 smarten up.
00:31:49.320 Is that wise?
00:31:50.340 I don't know.
00:31:51.240 It's a really great question.
00:31:52.760 What I'm worried about
00:31:53.840 is that if we do
00:31:55.280 reciprocal tit-for-tat
00:31:56.580 tariffs,
00:31:57.020 so to speak,
00:31:58.020 all that is
00:31:58.940 is a tax on imports.
00:32:01.180 It's just a tax.
00:32:02.480 It just means
00:32:03.260 that we're tying
00:32:03.840 our own shoelaces together
00:32:05.040 and punching ourselves
00:32:06.340 in the face
00:32:06.980 before we get into a fight
00:32:08.440 with somebody
00:32:08.900 who's much stronger
00:32:09.740 and much bigger than us.
00:32:11.040 And I'm really worried
00:32:12.300 that it's going to be
00:32:13.540 oil and gas workers
00:32:14.940 here in Alberta,
00:32:16.080 that it's eventually
00:32:16.920 going to be
00:32:17.680 a farmer or a producer
00:32:18.840 across the prairie,
00:32:19.980 that it's going to be
00:32:20.820 that auto worker
00:32:21.620 in Ontario
00:32:22.380 that's going to be
00:32:23.480 out of a job.
00:32:24.860 And that's a real thing.
00:32:26.220 That's just not a tally
00:32:27.300 on a spreadsheet.
00:32:28.220 That is someone's home.
00:32:29.640 That is someone's ability
00:32:30.640 to buy food
00:32:31.600 for their kids.
00:32:32.860 And so I really
00:32:33.700 am hoping
00:32:34.260 that some of these leaders
00:32:35.420 kind of pull
00:32:36.640 some of the lemon
00:32:37.760 out of this
00:32:38.960 and really work
00:32:40.200 on getting a deal.
00:32:41.120 Like, for example,
00:32:42.460 Alberta Premier Daniel Smith
00:32:44.260 has been down there
00:32:45.800 pleading and doing
00:32:47.180 a charm offensive
00:32:47.940 and really trying
00:32:48.740 to engage with these folks,
00:32:49.860 including U.S. President
00:32:50.940 Donald Trump.
00:32:51.620 She went to Mar-a-Lago.
00:32:53.100 She's trying to deal
00:32:53.940 directly with governors
00:32:55.060 saying,
00:32:55.640 hi, do you really want
00:32:57.000 35 cents more
00:32:58.040 per gallon for gasoline?
00:32:59.320 Because that's
00:32:59.700 what's going to happen.
00:33:00.720 That's smart.
00:33:01.940 And last I heard,
00:33:02.880 she's actually heading
00:33:03.620 down to Florida.
00:33:04.880 She's going to be speaking
00:33:05.800 with the Daily Wire,
00:33:07.280 Ben Shapiro,
00:33:08.040 and the whole lot of them.
00:33:09.360 That's good
00:33:10.160 because Trump
00:33:11.680 listens to that media.
00:33:13.420 That's like going
00:33:14.040 on Fox News
00:33:14.900 on a bit of steroids.
00:33:16.220 So it's smart
00:33:17.180 to get that message
00:33:18.220 out there.
00:33:19.180 I'm concerned, though,
00:33:20.280 if they just keep
00:33:21.080 heaping heated rhetoric
00:33:22.500 on up here,
00:33:23.860 that it's just going
00:33:24.780 to make the bear angrier.
00:33:26.540 Well, to stick
00:33:27.360 with Danielle Smith,
00:33:28.420 I mean, it's interesting
00:33:29.060 because Premier Doug Ford
00:33:30.240 sort of seems like
00:33:30.960 a bull in a china shop.
00:33:31.940 Like, sometimes I see him
00:33:32.780 going on Fox News
00:33:33.600 and he's making
00:33:34.320 a really compelling case
00:33:35.320 saying, like,
00:33:35.840 let's build
00:33:36.460 a better relationship.
00:33:37.540 He calls it Can-Am.
00:33:38.840 Let's further integrate
00:33:40.040 our markets
00:33:40.460 and have more freedom.
00:33:41.480 And that's great.
00:33:42.080 That's good Ford.
00:33:43.180 And then there's
00:33:43.800 the other side,
00:33:44.400 which is like,
00:33:45.280 OK, let's dump our chest
00:33:46.980 and we're going to really
00:33:47.760 make you hurt Americans.
00:33:49.620 And the reality is
00:33:50.700 that they are
00:33:51.560 a much bigger market.
00:33:52.500 They can make us
00:33:53.100 hurt a lot more.
00:33:53.840 And so to bring it
00:33:54.640 back to Danielle Smith,
00:33:55.360 we had Premier Ford
00:33:57.100 yesterday at a press conference
00:33:59.280 calling on Premier
00:34:00.640 Danielle Smith of Alberta
00:34:01.880 to add an export tax
00:34:03.580 on Alberta oil.
00:34:04.680 So he wants Danielle Smith
00:34:05.940 and the province of Alberta
00:34:06.900 to follow their path
00:34:08.260 by taxing natural resources.
00:34:10.600 Let's play that clip.
00:34:12.620 We have to remember
00:34:13.620 the 4.3 million barrels
00:34:15.180 of oil that's coming
00:34:17.200 from Alberta.
00:34:18.520 As Premier Smith said
00:34:20.800 on our comments,
00:34:22.000 I think over the last
00:34:22.760 couple of days,
00:34:23.760 she has the Trump card.
00:34:25.080 Well, a message
00:34:26.000 to Premier Smith,
00:34:27.420 one day I think
00:34:28.620 you might have to use
00:34:29.720 that Trump card.
00:34:30.460 and give approval
00:34:32.880 for an export tax
00:34:34.440 because you want
00:34:36.000 to talk about
00:34:36.820 a Trump card,
00:34:38.200 that will instantly
00:34:39.660 change the game.
00:34:42.640 Instantly change the game.
00:34:43.900 Well, Smith,
00:34:45.000 to her credit,
00:34:46.080 basically instantly
00:34:46.960 shot this down.
00:34:48.280 So writing on X
00:34:49.340 and responding
00:34:49.860 to Premier Ford,
00:34:50.600 she said,
00:34:51.180 let me be clear,
00:34:52.320 Alberta will never agree
00:34:53.880 to such an absurd
00:34:55.040 and self-destructive idea,
00:34:57.800 among other things.
00:34:58.940 Now, not only would it
00:35:00.000 be self-destructive
00:35:00.820 for Alberta
00:35:01.800 in an era
00:35:02.880 where the federal government
00:35:04.200 has done everything
00:35:04.860 it can, Chris,
00:35:06.440 to hit Alberta,
00:35:08.920 to prevent Alberta
00:35:09.860 from reaching
00:35:10.920 its true potential
00:35:12.520 and landlocking
00:35:14.340 its oil.
00:35:15.160 But also,
00:35:16.820 Ontario gets its oil
00:35:18.240 via a pipeline
00:35:19.960 that goes
00:35:20.340 through the United States.
00:35:21.200 So just on its face,
00:35:22.900 this is so absurd
00:35:23.840 for the Premier of Ontario
00:35:25.300 to be telling
00:35:25.900 the Premier of Alberta
00:35:26.660 to put a tax on oil
00:35:28.180 when that is the oil
00:35:29.900 that goes through
00:35:30.820 the United States
00:35:31.580 and back up
00:35:32.480 through Line 9
00:35:33.160 up into Sarnia
00:35:34.380 and across Ontario.
00:35:35.740 It's just so absurd.
00:35:37.180 Good for Daniel Smith
00:35:38.120 to knock that one down.
00:35:39.480 What do you think?
00:35:40.280 Yeah.
00:35:40.780 As an Albertan
00:35:41.820 and as somebody
00:35:42.780 who keeps an eye
00:35:43.440 on how much money
00:35:44.340 the energy sector
00:35:45.520 pulls in here,
00:35:46.320 the oil patch
00:35:46.900 pulls in here,
00:35:47.580 when he says things
00:35:48.800 like that,
00:35:49.140 like it makes
00:35:49.480 my scalp crawl.
00:35:51.320 Like, no, no,
00:35:52.940 you cannot do that.
00:35:54.060 And it's almost,
00:35:55.200 it's good to look
00:35:56.020 at kind of the economy
00:35:56.880 of scale here
00:35:57.740 and what we're talking about.
00:35:59.240 So if Ford, for example,
00:36:01.460 is trying to put
00:36:02.540 some pressure
00:36:03.100 on the administration
00:36:04.560 and the White House
00:36:05.420 through, say,
00:36:06.320 the auto sector,
00:36:08.140 talking around
00:36:09.320 that issue is smart
00:36:10.460 because we know
00:36:12.080 that that auto sector
00:36:14.200 between Michigan
00:36:15.080 and Ontario
00:36:15.720 is so integrated
00:36:17.160 that a vehicle
00:36:18.580 from start to finish
00:36:20.260 with all of its components
00:36:21.600 and parts
00:36:22.180 might have crossed
00:36:23.400 that Windsor Bridge
00:36:24.460 like 15 times.
00:36:26.500 It's just,
00:36:27.040 it's basically
00:36:27.640 the same organism,
00:36:29.900 the auto sector,
00:36:31.120 back, forth, back, forth.
00:36:32.780 So Ford would be wise
00:36:35.140 to try to hammer out,
00:36:36.900 help hammer out
00:36:37.620 a new deal with Trump
00:36:38.700 using the auto sector
00:36:40.480 kind of as a vehicle,
00:36:42.460 pardon my metaphor.
00:36:44.160 So, but it's a smaller portion
00:36:46.180 of the Ontario economy
00:36:48.120 than, say, the oil patch
00:36:50.120 oil and gas
00:36:51.120 is here for Alberta.
00:36:52.840 And exactly to your point,
00:36:55.120 thanks to the federal government
00:36:56.940 dragging its feet
00:36:58.120 and strangling
00:36:59.400 our resource projects
00:37:00.740 and our pipelines,
00:37:02.280 Alberta really has
00:37:03.420 only one customer.
00:37:05.000 Yes, we have one pipeline
00:37:06.220 that goes out
00:37:06.820 to the West Coast,
00:37:07.680 but we don't have
00:37:08.800 the international market access
00:37:10.340 to be able to say,
00:37:12.260 oh, that's fine.
00:37:13.220 We'll just sell elsewhere.
00:37:14.700 No, we've been told
00:37:15.920 we can't do that
00:37:16.880 for the past 10 years.
00:37:17.980 And that is why
00:37:19.040 we sell at a discount
00:37:20.340 down to the United States.
00:37:22.620 Now, there are
00:37:23.200 some intricacies there
00:37:24.300 where there are
00:37:24.800 some refineries,
00:37:25.820 especially in the
00:37:26.460 northern United States
00:37:27.440 that have adapted
00:37:28.540 to our form of oil sands,
00:37:30.500 bitumen.
00:37:31.240 They would have to
00:37:32.100 retool a bit
00:37:32.980 if they were suddenly
00:37:33.900 trying to find other markets.
00:37:35.620 But frankly,
00:37:36.480 they get oil
00:37:37.360 from other places too.
00:37:38.980 It would be easier
00:37:39.800 for the Americans
00:37:40.520 to decide to get oil
00:37:41.920 from other places too
00:37:43.040 if we started messing around,
00:37:45.420 heaven forbid,
00:37:45.880 with an export tax
00:37:47.420 on our energy.
00:37:48.200 And so that's why
00:37:48.940 you see Danielle Smith
00:37:50.280 saying, like,
00:37:51.160 hell will freeze over
00:37:52.480 before that happens.
00:37:54.020 And that is definitely
00:37:55.000 the smart thing
00:37:55.660 for her to say.
00:37:57.100 Chris Sims,
00:37:57.620 thank you so much.
00:37:58.260 It's always a pleasure
00:37:58.700 to have you on the show.
00:37:59.460 Great to see you today
00:38:00.180 and thanks for your time.
00:38:01.220 Thanks, Candice.
00:38:02.520 All right, everybody.
00:38:03.200 We are going to stick
00:38:04.560 with this topic
00:38:05.380 of election integrity,
00:38:06.760 but we're going to
00:38:07.620 shift gears a little bit
00:38:08.700 and talk about something
00:38:10.000 that has been uncovered
00:38:10.880 in the province of Ontario.
00:38:13.520 And to discuss this,
00:38:14.220 I'm pleased to be joined
00:38:15.020 by Clayton Demain,
00:38:16.340 who is a journalist
00:38:17.100 with True North.
00:38:18.180 Clayton, welcome
00:38:18.720 to the program.
00:38:19.460 Thanks for being here.
00:38:20.820 Thanks for having me.
00:38:22.060 Okay, so tell us
00:38:22.980 about the story
00:38:23.580 that you broke over
00:38:24.620 at True North
00:38:25.820 on our website,
00:38:26.880 Juno News,
00:38:27.760 exclusive elections
00:38:29.260 Ontario probing video
00:38:31.220 alleging election flaws.
00:38:34.080 Ontario is investigating
00:38:35.780 after a whistleblower
00:38:36.620 filmed an expose
00:38:37.420 claiming to reveal
00:38:38.500 vulnerabilities
00:38:39.000 in the Ontario
00:38:41.100 voting process.
00:38:42.520 Clayton, why don't you
00:38:42.880 tell us about the story
00:38:43.980 and tell us about
00:38:44.460 the whistleblower
00:38:45.060 that you've been talking to.
00:38:46.700 Yeah, so absolutely.
00:38:47.940 The whistleblower is,
00:38:50.420 he didn't want to give
00:38:51.060 his full name
00:38:51.800 because he's afraid
00:38:53.180 of legal reprisal,
00:38:55.020 but he said his name
00:38:56.240 is Spencer.
00:38:56.900 He operates
00:38:57.700 the YouTube channel
00:38:58.780 Make Canada Great Again
00:39:00.520 or MCGA.
00:39:02.600 And so what he did
00:39:03.700 is he used
00:39:04.560 a fake bank statement
00:39:06.340 with fake names
00:39:07.640 and phony addresses
00:39:09.260 to expose
00:39:10.900 the vulnerabilities
00:39:11.860 in the election
00:39:12.600 or purporting
00:39:13.980 to expose
00:39:14.840 vulnerabilities
00:39:15.720 in the voting
00:39:17.220 system in Ontario.
00:39:19.540 So he did show us
00:39:20.960 the images he used.
00:39:23.220 He just edited
00:39:23.880 a TV bank statement,
00:39:25.920 changed some of the names.
00:39:29.640 Yeah, and so he was able
00:39:30.820 to get all the way
00:39:31.540 up to the point
00:39:32.180 of attestation
00:39:33.540 where you're signing
00:39:34.460 the iPad
00:39:35.180 and that's just
00:39:36.820 you're saying
00:39:37.460 I am who I say I am.
00:39:39.960 You know,
00:39:40.380 my age is accurate.
00:39:41.340 My address is correct.
00:39:43.460 I had to do this myself.
00:39:46.720 But yeah,
00:39:47.520 so he got up to that point,
00:39:49.060 but he didn't want
00:39:50.040 to vote fraudulently.
00:39:51.920 He considers himself
00:39:53.280 a patriot.
00:39:55.280 So he didn't do that,
00:39:58.520 but he did vote once
00:40:00.520 with his real address
00:40:01.900 and his real name
00:40:02.900 in the writing
00:40:04.360 that he's supposed
00:40:05.020 to be in
00:40:05.760 using the same method.
00:40:08.900 So he went
00:40:11.180 to 13 different ridings
00:40:12.900 and did this.
00:40:15.260 And so I guess
00:40:16.920 like his whole point
00:40:18.040 is to show
00:40:18.940 the problems
00:40:20.020 with not having
00:40:20.980 voter ID.
00:40:23.020 You could just
00:40:24.080 potentially vote
00:40:25.360 multiple times
00:40:26.960 using different addresses.
00:40:29.320 There are laws
00:40:30.500 against, you know,
00:40:32.780 voter fraud,
00:40:33.420 but the question is
00:40:35.160 like would they
00:40:36.340 would they be able
00:40:36.980 to catch this?
00:40:38.240 Elections Ontario
00:40:38.980 did not tell us
00:40:41.200 when we asked
00:40:41.920 and the first article
00:40:44.600 we published
00:40:45.200 was a week ago.
00:40:46.080 They still haven't told us
00:40:47.740 whether or not
00:40:49.060 there's any checks
00:40:49.760 and balances
00:40:50.400 beyond the point
00:40:52.060 of attestation
00:40:52.840 that would have prevented
00:40:53.680 somebody from
00:40:54.660 committing voter fraud.
00:40:55.800 Yeah.
00:40:58.320 It's really believable.
00:40:59.180 I mean this is true
00:41:00.220 investigative journalism,
00:41:01.360 right?
00:41:01.500 This individual
00:41:02.080 went out
00:41:03.180 and did something.
00:41:03.840 He was wearing
00:41:04.400 a camera
00:41:05.640 so that he could
00:41:06.480 film it
00:41:07.020 but he's just
00:41:08.020 going to show
00:41:08.580 how easy it is.
00:41:09.340 Like you can literally
00:41:10.020 just show up
00:41:10.760 and say,
00:41:11.260 oh I don't have an ID
00:41:12.000 and talk to,
00:41:13.640 basically talk people
00:41:14.780 into it
00:41:15.160 which is what
00:41:15.600 the video
00:41:16.200 that we were just
00:41:16.700 showing shows.
00:41:18.220 He's just able
00:41:18.600 to talk his way through
00:41:19.600 and eventually get
00:41:20.900 to a place
00:41:21.280 where you don't even
00:41:21.940 really need an ID.
00:41:22.500 you could just
00:41:22.920 sign your name
00:41:23.640 and there is an update
00:41:25.080 in the story
00:41:26.060 today Clayton
00:41:26.780 because the same
00:41:28.020 whistleblower
00:41:28.580 reached out to us
00:41:29.460 sent us an email
00:41:30.680 that had been
00:41:31.480 sent to him
00:41:32.480 from Elections Ontario
00:41:34.180 demanding
00:41:35.220 that he take down
00:41:36.860 the YouTube video.
00:41:38.540 So it says
00:41:38.960 thank you for
00:41:39.420 contacting Elections Ontario
00:41:40.760 upon further review
00:41:41.660 we have determined
00:41:42.300 that the video here
00:41:43.500 has violated
00:41:44.240 the privacy
00:41:45.060 of our staff.
00:41:46.460 We are requesting
00:41:47.000 that you remove
00:41:48.220 the video
00:41:48.780 immediately
00:41:49.860 and we blurred out
00:41:51.420 the name
00:41:51.840 of the official
00:41:52.780 there
00:41:53.180 but basically
00:41:54.260 they have been
00:41:55.540 caught red-handed
00:41:56.560 not enforcing
00:41:57.880 the rules
00:41:58.400 or maybe the rules
00:41:59.140 aren't there
00:41:59.440 to begin with
00:42:00.100 and so their response
00:42:01.440 is to basically
00:42:02.600 make something up
00:42:03.000 because from best
00:42:03.500 I can tell
00:42:04.040 Clayton
00:42:04.420 the video
00:42:04.800 that we just showed
00:42:05.420 doesn't violate
00:42:07.160 anybody's privacy rights
00:42:08.360 because everybody's
00:42:09.260 face is blurred out
00:42:09.940 you have no idea
00:42:10.620 who the people are
00:42:11.540 you just know
00:42:12.340 that it's a voting
00:42:12.860 station in Ontario
00:42:14.520 so what do you
00:42:16.380 think of this
00:42:17.180 recent update
00:42:18.020 this latest update?
00:42:19.600 Yeah so he did
00:42:20.500 send me that email
00:42:21.320 and you know
00:42:22.580 they didn't
00:42:23.080 they didn't address
00:42:23.920 his concerns
00:42:24.660 with the voter
00:42:25.540 vulnerabilities
00:42:26.260 when we reached out
00:42:27.460 they also didn't
00:42:29.160 they just said
00:42:29.700 they were investigating
00:42:30.540 the video
00:42:31.500 and they didn't say
00:42:32.620 are they investigating
00:42:34.060 the vulnerabilities
00:42:35.140 that he's purporting
00:42:36.120 to expose
00:42:36.760 or are they just
00:42:37.840 investigating him
00:42:39.340 to try to slap him
00:42:40.680 with fines
00:42:41.220 for exposing
00:42:41.940 these things
00:42:42.540 so I would
00:42:44.540 I look forward
00:42:45.280 to hearing back
00:42:46.100 from Elections Ontario
00:42:47.100 on what they're doing here
00:42:48.680 I would like
00:42:50.280 I
00:42:50.780 we even asked them
00:42:52.340 you know
00:42:52.980 like do you even
00:42:53.800 take this seriously
00:42:54.840 so like
00:42:57.380 I would like to hear
00:42:58.460 back from them
00:42:59.180 on that
00:42:59.800 but you know
00:43:00.440 his concern
00:43:01.260 was really that
00:43:02.000 like you know
00:43:02.940 are they gonna
00:43:03.700 are they gonna
00:43:04.280 catch
00:43:04.700 catch this sort
00:43:06.480 of voter fraud
00:43:07.700 from happening
00:43:08.980 and even if they do
00:43:10.460 will they discount
00:43:11.760 the vote
00:43:12.160 and if
00:43:12.980 and what if
00:43:13.620 it's someone
00:43:14.080 we're talking a lot
00:43:14.920 about foreign
00:43:15.380 interference these days
00:43:16.500 what if somebody
00:43:18.040 just comes from
00:43:19.780 you know
00:43:20.280 does this method
00:43:21.140 votes multiple times
00:43:22.560 they're not even
00:43:23.440 a Canadian citizen
00:43:25.060 or a resident here
00:43:26.320 and by the time
00:43:27.660 they catch something
00:43:28.320 like this
00:43:28.780 they might be
00:43:29.240 out of the country
00:43:29.920 so you know
00:43:31.300 it does pose
00:43:32.920 a bunch of questions
00:43:33.820 about the integrity
00:43:35.200 of elections
00:43:36.160 and it's not just
00:43:38.280 Ontario
00:43:38.700 I want to tie this
00:43:39.560 back to what
00:43:40.260 just happened
00:43:40.700 on Sunday evening
00:43:41.460 Clayton
00:43:41.960 because as you
00:43:42.440 probably saw
00:43:43.080 we were told
00:43:43.900 that there were
00:43:44.400 400,000
00:43:45.500 registered liberals
00:43:46.620 we know that
00:43:47.260 the liberal party
00:43:47.900 rules mean
00:43:48.920 that you don't
00:43:49.620 have to be
00:43:50.360 a citizen
00:43:51.840 of Canada
00:43:52.440 to be a registered
00:43:53.340 voter
00:43:53.660 you don't have
00:43:54.660 to even be
00:43:55.340 of legal voting
00:43:56.300 age federally
00:43:57.940 you could be
00:43:58.380 14 years
00:43:59.140 or older
00:43:59.960 and you don't
00:44:00.660 have to pay
00:44:01.040 any money
00:44:01.320 unlike other
00:44:01.880 political parties
00:44:02.480 in order to
00:44:02.980 be a member
00:44:03.520 considered eligible
00:44:04.780 to vote
00:44:05.100 you have to
00:44:05.740 pay a very
00:44:06.460 nominal fee
00:44:07.000 maybe five
00:44:07.620 five dollars
00:44:08.120 ten dollars
00:44:08.560 twenty dollars
00:44:08.920 something like
00:44:09.260 that
00:44:09.500 in in
00:44:10.480 for the liberals
00:44:11.060 you don't
00:44:11.320 do any of
00:44:11.740 those things
00:44:12.080 so we're told
00:44:12.520 that they had
00:44:12.920 400,000
00:44:13.940 registered members
00:44:14.800 and yet
00:44:15.400 when it came
00:44:15.980 to the vote
00:44:17.220 on Sunday
00:44:17.740 evening
00:44:18.000 to select
00:44:18.900 the new
00:44:19.280 prime minister
00:44:19.820 and 85%
00:44:20.980 of the race
00:44:22.160 we were told
00:44:22.620 went for
00:44:23.340 Mark Carney
00:44:23.980 but that
00:44:24.360 only includes
00:44:25.200 151,899
00:44:27.820 people who voted
00:44:28.460 so we were told
00:44:29.340 there were 400,000
00:44:30.280 and yet only
00:44:31.320 151 and change
00:44:34.300 thousand people
00:44:35.340 voted
00:44:35.700 fewer than 40%
00:44:37.520 so that means
00:44:37.960 60% of people
00:44:39.160 on their own list
00:44:40.080 did not vote
00:44:41.500 I mean in
00:44:42.600 this conversation
00:44:43.600 about integrity
00:44:44.640 of our voting
00:44:45.680 system
00:44:46.100 what do you
00:44:47.440 think about that
00:44:48.440 yeah I mean
00:44:50.220 there was a lot
00:44:51.360 of concerns
00:44:51.960 early on
00:44:53.020 in the race
00:44:53.560 when people
00:44:54.100 were just
00:44:55.180 signing up
00:44:55.980 one person
00:44:56.740 signed up
00:44:57.420 their dead
00:44:58.500 dog
00:44:58.920 I think it
00:44:59.340 was Dahlia
00:44:59.880 Kurtz
00:45:00.420 there was
00:45:02.940 one who
00:45:03.620 signed up
00:45:04.260 on the
00:45:04.900 Chinese consulate
00:45:05.920 so essentially
00:45:06.640 Xi Jinping
00:45:07.900 could you
00:45:09.680 know the
00:45:09.880 president
00:45:10.240 of the
00:45:11.240 dictator
00:45:11.660 of China
00:45:12.200 could vote
00:45:13.020 in our
00:45:13.280 elections
00:45:13.720 potentially
00:45:14.380 so they
00:45:15.580 did seem
00:45:15.980 to address
00:45:16.460 some of
00:45:16.800 those concerns
00:45:18.060 that you
00:45:18.640 couldn't
00:45:18.960 you didn't
00:45:19.260 even have
00:45:19.540 to be
00:45:19.760 a citizen
00:45:20.840 to vote
00:45:21.340 at one
00:45:21.780 point
00:45:22.020 but they
00:45:22.400 they changed
00:45:23.320 that to be
00:45:24.180 you know
00:45:25.160 at least a
00:45:25.840 permanent
00:45:26.080 resident
00:45:26.480 I believe
00:45:26.960 I could
00:45:27.760 have that
00:45:28.120 wrong
00:45:28.460 but they
00:45:29.220 did
00:45:29.400 they did
00:45:29.840 address
00:45:30.380 some of
00:45:30.800 those concerns
00:45:31.440 but federally
00:45:32.560 like that's
00:45:33.060 a good point
00:45:33.520 because
00:45:33.960 like in terms
00:45:36.180 of the
00:45:36.460 general election
00:45:37.120 that's
00:45:37.640 you know
00:45:37.940 incoming
00:45:38.420 you just
00:45:40.020 need
00:45:40.400 the rules
00:45:41.180 aren't
00:45:41.460 like are
00:45:42.200 a little
00:45:42.500 bit more
00:45:42.880 strict
00:45:43.240 than Ontario's
00:45:44.300 election
00:45:44.680 but you
00:45:45.380 could still
00:45:45.820 just use
00:45:46.300 two pieces
00:45:46.820 of document
00:45:47.520 documentation
00:45:48.600 with your
00:45:49.200 name and
00:45:49.520 address
00:45:49.960 so you
00:45:50.740 could use
00:45:51.060 an utility
00:45:51.720 bill
00:45:52.240 and a
00:45:52.580 bank
00:45:52.780 statement
00:45:53.180 so
00:45:54.320 there's
00:45:56.500 still
00:45:56.780 potentially
00:45:57.700 concerns
00:45:58.300 in our
00:45:58.900 federal
00:45:59.180 election
00:45:59.580 if
00:45:59.840 there's
00:46:00.620 not
00:46:00.900 if it's
00:46:02.320 not
00:46:02.520 proven
00:46:02.980 that
00:46:03.240 there is
00:46:04.020 these
00:46:04.260 checks
00:46:04.520 and balances
00:46:05.020 beyond that
00:46:05.640 point
00:46:05.960 and I
00:46:06.680 just want
00:46:07.000 to add
00:46:07.300 like
00:46:07.500 when I
00:46:08.940 went
00:46:09.180 into the
00:46:09.620 Ontario
00:46:10.020 election
00:46:10.880 I didn't
00:46:11.440 have
00:46:11.620 I moved
00:46:12.100 recently
00:46:12.560 so I
00:46:12.920 had to
00:46:13.180 use
00:46:13.420 a
00:46:13.720 what I
00:46:15.260 used
00:46:15.540 I didn't
00:46:15.980 have a
00:46:16.240 voter
00:46:16.440 information
00:46:17.300 card
00:46:17.780 I just
00:46:18.140 had
00:46:18.440 an Amazon
00:46:19.380 receipt
00:46:19.960 I did
00:46:20.820 show them
00:46:21.300 my IDs
00:46:21.920 so that
00:46:22.440 but that
00:46:22.800 wasn't
00:46:23.080 necessary
00:46:23.680 like I
00:46:24.440 showed
00:46:24.660 them
00:46:24.780 like hey
00:46:25.060 I am
00:46:25.420 who I
00:46:25.720 say
00:46:25.940 I am
00:46:26.360 and it's
00:46:26.960 funny
00:46:27.160 because
00:46:27.340 the
00:46:27.500 receipt
00:46:27.840 said
00:46:28.260 I have
00:46:29.620 two
00:46:29.880 last
00:46:30.180 names
00:46:30.300 I
00:46:30.700 said
00:46:31.100 Clayton
00:46:31.520 Domain
00:46:31.860 on the
00:46:32.140 receipt
00:46:32.500 but my
00:46:33.380 legal name
00:46:34.320 is Clayton
00:46:34.720 Domain
00:46:34.940 Pratt
00:46:35.260 I just
00:46:35.580 shorten it
00:46:36.040 for
00:46:36.320 media
00:46:37.060 so like
00:46:38.720 my name
00:46:39.180 didn't
00:46:39.420 my ID
00:46:39.940 names
00:46:40.380 didn't even
00:46:40.780 match the
00:46:41.260 receipt
00:46:41.640 and I was
00:46:42.100 still able
00:46:42.480 to vote
00:46:42.860 like you
00:46:43.480 know
00:46:43.640 luckily I'm
00:46:44.180 not committing
00:46:45.580 fraud
00:46:46.020 but it does
00:46:46.660 like this
00:46:47.240 this story
00:46:47.960 did make
00:46:48.380 me go
00:46:48.640 huh
00:46:48.880 like I
00:46:49.240 didn't
00:46:49.360 even really
00:46:49.740 think about
00:46:50.440 how
00:46:51.140 potentially
00:46:52.140 vulnerable
00:46:52.620 that
00:46:53.020 makes our
00:46:54.140 elections
00:46:54.860 well
00:46:55.780 it's
00:46:55.900 interesting
00:46:56.160 it kind
00:46:56.700 of
00:46:56.780 brought
00:46:56.920 me
00:46:57.020 back
00:46:57.220 because
00:46:57.340 when
00:46:57.460 I
00:46:57.560 was
00:46:57.720 in
00:46:57.860 university
00:46:58.340 I
00:46:58.620 went
00:46:58.860 to
00:46:58.940 the
00:46:59.000 university
00:46:59.220 of
00:46:59.380 Alberta
00:46:59.620 up in
00:46:59.900 Edmonton
00:47:00.280 and I
00:47:00.740 wanted
00:47:00.900 to vote
00:47:01.320 in the

00:47:03.880 who
00:47:04.060 was
00:47:04.180 going

00:47:04.360 replace
00:47:04.700 Ralph
00:47:05.080 Klein
00:47:05.400 and I
00:47:06.460 went
00:47:06.760 to go
00:47:07.040 vote
00:47:07.240 but I
00:47:07.540 was
00:47:07.700 from
00:47:07.860 British
00:47:08.040 Columbia
00:47:08.340 so
00:47:08.660 my
00:47:08.880 ID
00:47:09.180 was
00:47:09.520 from
00:47:09.680 British
00:47:09.880 Columbia
00:47:10.180 but I
00:47:10.820 lived
00:47:11.060 in
00:47:11.200 Alberta
00:47:11.480 because
00:47:11.760 I
00:47:11.860 went
00:47:11.980 to
00:47:12.100 school
00:47:12.300 there
00:47:12.560 and
00:47:13.080 so
00:47:13.280 all
00:47:13.480 I
00:47:13.620 had
00:47:13.820 was
00:47:13.960 my
00:47:14.120 University
00:47:14.520 of
00:47:14.720 Alberta
00:47:15.040 student
00:47:15.580 ID
00:47:15.880 and
00:47:16.400 when
00:47:16.600 it
00:47:16.740 came
00:47:16.980 to
00:47:17.420 my
00:47:18.320 address
00:47:18.860 I
00:47:19.340 mean
00:47:19.500 I
00:47:19.660 lived
00:47:20.020 in
00:47:20.140 shared
00:47:20.320 housing
00:47:20.600 so
00:47:20.760 I
00:47:20.840 didn't
00:47:20.960 have
00:47:21.260 a
00:47:21.340 utility
00:47:21.600 bill
00:47:21.840 but
00:47:22.180 it
00:47:22.300 just
00:47:22.480 happened
00:47:22.840 in
00:47:23.140 my
00:47:23.320 backpack
00:47:23.720 to
00:47:24.400 have
00:47:24.840 a
00:47:25.400 magazine
00:47:26.380 that
00:47:26.640 I
00:47:26.760 subscribed
00:47:27.160 to
00:47:27.400 McLean's
00:47:27.940 at
00:47:28.020 the
00:47:28.120 time
00:47:28.400 and
00:47:29.240 it
00:47:29.460 had
00:47:29.660 my
00:47:29.920 address
00:47:30.420 in
00:47:30.860 the
00:47:31.060 constituency
00:47:31.880 and
00:47:32.700 so
00:47:32.820 they
00:47:32.960 let
00:47:33.100 me
00:47:33.220 vote
00:47:33.400 for
00:47:33.560 that
00:47:33.760 and
00:47:34.480 you
00:47:34.980 know
00:47:35.100 it's
00:47:35.240 kind
00:47:35.400 of
00:47:35.460 funny
00:47:35.580 I
00:47:35.700 did
00:47:35.820 have
00:47:36.000 photo
00:47:36.580 ID
00:47:36.860 but
00:47:37.340 didn't
00:47:37.500 have
00:47:37.600 my
00:47:37.700 address
00:47:37.920 on
00:47:38.100 it
00:47:38.220 and
00:47:38.360 then
00:47:38.460 I
00:47:38.520 had
00:47:38.640 to
00:47:38.700 use
00:47:38.800 a
00:47:38.920 magazine
00:47:39.220 and
00:47:39.380 if
00:47:39.760 I
00:47:39.920 hadn't
00:47:40.100 had
00:47:40.340 that
00:47:40.500 magazine
00:47:40.960 in
00:47:41.420 my
00:47:41.600 bag
00:47:41.980 they
00:47:42.360 wouldn't
00:47:42.560 have
00:47:42.660 let
00:47:42.760 me
00:47:42.860 vote
00:47:43.000 but
00:47:43.200 I
00:47:43.680 do
00:47:43.960 think
00:47:44.140 there
00:47:44.420 is
00:47:44.760 a
00:47:45.420 problem
00:47:45.860 when
00:47:46.380 you
00:47:46.640 can
00:47:46.800 talk
00:47:47.640 your
00:47:47.840 way
00:47:48.060 in
00:47:48.300 to
00:47:48.780 voting
00:47:49.120 and
00:47:49.720 it
00:47:51.020 shows
00:47:51.580 how
00:47:51.940 in
00:47:52.420 some
00:47:52.740 ways
00:47:53.100 our
00:47:53.900 system
00:47:54.220 is
00:47:54.380 not
00:47:54.740 secure
00:47:55.140 it's
00:47:55.900 fine
00:47:56.200 if
00:47:56.380 everybody
00:47:56.680 trusts
00:47:57.020 each
00:47:57.180 other
00:47:57.320 you
00:47:57.480 live
00:47:57.600 in
00:47:57.680 a
00:47:57.760 high
00:47:57.880 trust
00:47:58.080 society
00:47:58.480 where
00:47:58.760 the
00:47:59.920 person
00:48:00.320 back
00:48:00.820 in
00:48:00.960 the
00:48:01.060 day
00:48:01.180 when
00:48:01.320 I
00:48:01.400 was
00:48:01.500 voting
00:48:01.760 in
00:48:01.880 that
00:48:02.080 leadership
00:48:02.580 race
00:48:02.880 they
00:48:03.180 said
00:48:03.340 okay
00:48:03.560 this
00:48:03.760 person
00:48:04.020 is
00:48:04.120 obviously
00:48:04.380 who
00:48:04.520 she
00:48:04.660 says
00:48:04.880 she
00:48:05.020 is
00:48:05.200 she's
00:48:05.340 got
00:48:05.440 a
00:48:05.540 student
00:48:05.800 card
00:48:06.000 whatever
00:48:06.280 but
00:48:07.120 when
00:48:07.300 you
00:48:07.400 start
00:48:07.680 considering
00:48:08.100 it's
00:48:08.360 a
00:48:08.460 backdrop
00:48:08.800 of
00:48:09.300 we
00:48:09.600 know
00:48:09.860 we
00:48:10.120 have
00:48:10.480 foreign
00:48:11.080 entities
00:48:11.640 and
00:48:12.080 adversarial
00:48:12.660 actors
00:48:13.000 in
00:48:13.220 Canada
00:48:13.540 trying
00:48:13.880 to
00:48:14.060 thwart
00:48:14.260 our
00:48:14.400 democracy
00:48:14.860 and
00:48:15.000 undermine
00:48:15.580 our
00:48:16.260 votes
00:48:16.540 our
00:48:16.900 parliament
00:48:17.280 admitted
00:48:17.680 so
00:48:17.980 much
00:48:18.320 and
00:48:18.760 yet
00:48:18.920 we
00:48:19.100 still
00:48:19.340 don't
00:48:19.580 take
00:48:19.760 this
00:48:19.920 kind
00:48:20.100 of
00:48:20.180 thing
00:48:20.400 seriously
00:48:21.280 it's
00:48:21.440 quite
00:48:21.580 shocking
00:48:21.940 yeah
00:48:23.800 absolutely
00:48:24.140 yeah
00:48:25.080 I mean
00:48:25.440 it's
00:48:25.680 we're
00:48:26.120 just
00:48:26.280 operating
00:48:26.780 on
00:48:27.040 it
00:48:27.140 like
00:48:27.380 a
00:48:27.880 trust
00:48:28.240 system
00:48:28.760 essentially
00:48:29.260 which
00:48:30.000 I
00:48:30.480 agree
00:48:30.780 yeah
00:48:31.040 it's
00:48:31.280 like
00:48:31.520 when
00:48:31.900 because
00:48:32.460 that's
00:48:32.660 what
00:48:32.800 you
00:48:32.920 get
00:48:33.100 when
00:48:33.280 like
00:48:33.440 even
00:48:33.780 even
00:48:34.160 Spencer
00:48:34.520 was
00:48:34.720 talking
00:48:35.040 about
00:48:35.400 you
00:48:35.900 know
00:48:35.980 the
00:48:36.100 person
00:48:36.380 who
00:48:36.840 did
00:48:36.980 this
00:48:37.140 video
00:48:37.460 he
00:48:38.080 was
00:48:38.260 like
00:48:38.460 these
00:48:38.880 aren't
00:48:39.100 bad
00:48:39.400 people
00:48:39.740 who
00:48:39.900 are
00:48:40.000 the
00:48:40.140 elections
00:48:40.580 officers
00:48:41.140 like
00:48:41.440 they
00:48:41.580 want
00:48:41.900 to
00:48:42.080 trust
00:48:42.380 you
00:48:42.620 like
00:48:42.840 they
00:48:42.980 just
00:48:43.140 want
00:48:43.660 to
00:48:43.760 make
00:48:43.920 your
00:48:44.060 vote
00:48:44.320 easier
00:48:44.820 it's
00:48:45.360 not
00:48:45.520 their
00:48:45.780 fault
00:48:46.160 right
00:48:46.820 it's
00:48:47.200 like
00:48:47.580 but
00:48:47.760 like
00:48:48.000 it
00:48:48.400 does
00:48:48.680 make
00:48:48.940 you
00:48:49.100 think
00:48:49.480 kind
00:48:50.820 of
00:48:50.960 like
00:48:51.160 okay
00:48:51.400 well
00:48:51.560 maybe
00:48:51.760 we
00:48:51.980 should
00:48:52.140 rethink
00:48:52.540 this
00:48:52.820 especially
00:48:53.260 when
00:48:53.480 you
00:48:53.580 talk
00:48:53.860 about
00:48:54.200 the
00:48:54.720 foreign
00:48:54.960 interference
00:48:55.480 and
00:48:55.780 mass
00:48:58.440 immigration
00:48:59.080 whatever
00:48:59.560 so
00:49:00.000 we
00:49:00.400 don't
00:49:00.580 know
00:49:00.760 who's
00:49:01.120 if
00:49:01.660 you
00:49:01.780 don't
00:49:02.500 even
00:49:02.620 have
00:49:02.780 to
00:49:02.860 be
00:49:02.980 a
00:49:03.120 citizen
00:49:03.440 that's
00:49:04.320 potentially
00:49:05.320 a
00:49:05.660 problem
00:49:06.840 it's
00:49:07.500 so
00:49:07.640 unreal
00:49:07.980 all right
00:49:08.540 Clayton
