00:00:58.020 you never miss an update. So we have a lot to get to. We've got a great show lined up for you today.

00:01:03.220 We're going to be joined a little bit later on by Sam Cooper, who I think is the best investigative

00:01:07.320 journalist in the country. He is uncovering incredibly crazy things about our country,

00:01:12.460 about China, and just how much of a foothold China has in Canada. So we're going to be talking

00:01:17.160 with him about fentanyl and about foreign interference in our elections. Later in the show,

00:01:21.900 I'm going to be joined by a self-proclaimed non-woke leftist. We're going to talk about

00:01:26.420 Mark Carney, we're going to talk about Jagmeet Singh, and we're going to get to everything else.

00:01:31.180 But first, I think the most important thing that I want to talk to you about today,

00:01:35.160 let's talk about Justin Trudeau and his latest attempt to manipulate Canadians and control the

00:01:41.080 media. So on Wednesday, we learned that the Trudeau government had ended its own self-imposed

00:01:47.040 ban on advertising on meta platforms. So starting soon, you'll once again be able to see Government

00:01:53.800 of Canada ads on Facebook and Instagram. The Privy Council office, which is filled with Justin Trudeau's

00:02:00.380 own personal bureaucrats, recently spent $100,000 promoting Justin Trudeau's GST tax holiday shtick,

00:02:09.700 which was designed to bribe Canadians with our own money in order to boost Justin Trudeau's public

00:02:15.840 image. But wait a minute, back in July of 2023, Justin Trudeau himself pledged not to give any

00:02:23.520 money to meta that no government advertising would be spent on meta because meta had decided to pull

00:02:30.440 Canadian news from its platforms. So why would meta pull Canadian news from its platforms? Well,

00:02:37.300 because one component of Justin Trudeau's censorious online news act was an attempt to shake down the

00:02:44.040 tech giant to force them to give a bailout to failing Canadian news companies. At the time,

00:02:51.100 meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said no to that request. And in turn, Justin Trudeau pulled Canada's

00:02:57.860 measly government ad spend. Well, now that Trudeau needs to use Zuckerberg's platforms to promote his own

00:03:05.080 vote buying scheme for the Liberal Party, Justin Trudeau is walking that back. But meta's news ban

00:03:12.340 still applies, making it so that Canadians cannot view or share news stories on its platforms. So

00:03:20.040 thanks to Justin Trudeau's meddling in the market of Canadian news, independent organizations like True

00:03:26.620 North have lost a huge part of our audience, including the millions of Canadians who used to interact

00:03:32.000 with our stories on Facebook and Instagram. So did you get that? Trudeau is saying it's okay for him

00:03:38.620 and his government to be back on Facebook and Instagram, but it's not okay for journalists and

00:03:44.160 organizations like True North. Very fitting, very rich. Now you probably saw last month, Mark Zuckerberg

00:03:50.580 announced that there were welcomed changes to meta's policies, which recognize the public shift that we've had

00:03:57.120 towards free speech. Zuckerberg said that he would do away with politically biased third party fact

00:04:03.460 checkers and move towards X, the X model of community notes and having more, more say from the people,

00:04:11.120 more free speech. He also said that meta was returning to its roots of free expression and allowing

00:04:17.120 more sharing of news and political opinions in algorithms and on the platform. But yet again,

00:04:24.080 thanks to Justin Trudeau and the liberals, Canadians will still be banned from seeing news.

00:04:30.080 Now the cherry on top of all of this is that Trudeau spent the last week telling Canadians to buy Canada.

00:04:37.080 He said to boycott American goods and he went so far as even to say that we should cancel upcoming trips and

00:04:43.080 vacations to the United States. And meanwhile, we learned that he is now using our tax dollar to pay for ads

00:04:51.080 to one of the largest American corporations in the world, all just to promote his electioneering tax gimmicks.

00:04:59.080 What a joke. What an absolute joke, because it's Justin Trudeau. He's a hypocrite. And we all knew that.

00:05:06.080 And I want to go a little bit deeper into this idea of this story that the media have been just so,

00:05:15.080 so too happy to promote this idea that Canada, Canadians shouldn't be going to the United States.

00:05:21.080 We shouldn't travel. An ex-user, Riot and Gerritsen pointed this out and he showed how basically the entire legacy media

00:05:31.080 were working hand in glove to promote this narrative that Canadians shouldn't travel to the United States.

00:05:37.080 Here you can just see news story after news story after news story with the headline encouraging Canadians to cancel the trips,

00:05:45.080 not go to the United States, not give any money. I think that this is part of a concerted effort by the legacy media

00:05:52.080 to basically cover for Justin Trudeau. Justin Trudeau has seen, under Justin Trudeau's rule,

00:05:57.080 we have seen patriotism and love of country in Canada absolutely plummet. And I think for good reason, right?

00:06:03.080 You love your country on its good days and on its bad days, but at a certain point when your country doesn't recognize

00:06:10.080 the basic freedoms of Canadians like we experienced during COVID, you see your prime minister able to just make

00:06:15.080 an absolute mockery of the political system, manipulate it, use every trick in the book,

00:06:21.080 even what we're living through right now. He prorogued parliament so that there wouldn't be an election,

00:06:26.080 so that he could remain in power, so that his liberal party could rebuild, so that they can install Mark Carney

00:06:31.080 as the prime minister. And all of this is happening. Canadians don't have any kind of say.

00:06:36.080 So I think there's pretty good reason why there's not a lot of love for Canada.

00:06:40.080 And the media is just working in overtime to try to boost this idea of Canadian patriotism.

00:06:46.080 So a recent poll showed, this is from Agnes Reid, True North is covering it, saying,

00:06:51.080 Canadian pride rebounds following Trump's tariff threat and the brief reprieve.

00:06:57.080 So a survey conducted by the Agnes Reid Institute found the percentage of Canadians who said that they were

00:07:02.080 very proud to be Canadian has risen from 34% in December up to 44% now.

00:07:09.080 So just in the past 35, 40 days, we've seen a 10% jump in patriotism for Canadians.

00:07:16.080 The portion of those who express a deep emotional attachment to Canada has also climbed by 10%.

00:07:23.080 So how is it that, you know, a trade dispute with our closest friend and ally has evoked this kind of patriotism?

00:07:30.080 Well, it's partially because the media is working very, very hard to promote this narrative,

00:07:36.080 this idea that we have to turn on our neighbor, turn on our friend, oppose the Americans, don't buy their stuff,

00:07:42.080 don't visit their country. It's all, of course, folks, a distraction to distract you from the very real fact 0.75

00:07:48.080 that it is Justin Trudeau and the Liberals who have imposed this harm onto Canadians.

00:07:55.080 And if you look at the data going back, so we've got Canadian patriotism stats going back.

00:08:00.080 In 1985, 78% of Canadians said that they were very proud to be Canadian.

00:08:05.080 By 2003, it had dropped down to 68%, but still pretty high, right?

00:08:09.080 More than two out of three Canadians said that they were very proud to be Canadian.

00:08:14.080 By the time Justin Trudeau took office, it was down to 52% in 2016.

00:08:20.080 And after just eight years in office, National Pride hit a record low in 2024 of just 34% of people saying that they are proud to be Canadian.

00:08:32.080 Isn't that sad? I mean, the reality, of course, is that it is because of the media narrative, right?

00:08:37.080 They're the ones who have been telling us that our country was founded on genocide.

00:08:41.080 They're the ones that said that early Canadians set up schools to impose genocide and murder children.

00:08:47.080 They're the ones that insisted on tearing down our statues, erasing our history, removing Sir John A. MacDonald's name from streets and schools and everything else.

00:08:58.080 So we've had a decade long campaign to make Canada this post national state that Justin Trudeau so, you know, thoughtfully imagined.

00:09:07.080 And then here we are with National Pride at a record low.

00:09:11.080 The media are trying to cover for Justin Trudeau now, pushing this idea by Canadian that if you're on the political left, it's OK to wave the flag again.

00:09:18.080 It's OK to be Canadian and to love Canadian.

00:09:21.080 And it's all just to cover up for the fact that Justin Trudeau really has destroyed the country.

00:09:26.080 Now, one of the areas I think that stands out the most when it comes to ways that Justin Trudeau has destroyed the country.

00:09:32.080 And I know there's so many. You can talk about economics. You can talk about spending and borrowing government growth.

00:09:37.080 You can talk about immigration. To me, one of the major things that just completely shocks me about what's happened in Canada is the crime,

00:09:46.080 is the number of home invasions, the carjackings, the incredible violence that we see pouring out onto our streets.

00:09:53.080 And in part, it's fueled by drug wars and drug money and the fact that we have even foreign nationals, but Canadians alike,

00:10:01.080 involved in this dark world of transnational gangs producing and transporting drugs all over the world.

00:10:08.080 That's why I thought it was a welcomed announcement yesterday that we saw from Conservative leader Pierre Polyev,

00:10:13.080 who announced that if Prime Minister, he would impose life sentences for these thugs, for these fentanyl kingpins.

00:10:22.080 Fentanyl is killing tens of thousands of Canadians. It's killing tens of thousands of Americans too.

00:10:27.080 It's why President Trump is rightfully concerned and rightfully wants Canada to crack down on this absolute scourge.

00:10:35.080 So again, yesterday, Conservative leader Pierre Polyev announced as Prime Minister he would impose mandatory life sentences

00:10:43.080 on anyone involved in the trafficking, production and distribution of over 40 milligrams of fentanyl and 15 years for traffickers caught with between 20 and 40 milligrams.

00:10:58.080 And our guest on today's program has been reporting and writing about these issues for years and years and years.

00:11:08.080 I feel like he's finally getting vindicated because so many of the things that he's been telling us about are finally being recognized by the political class.

00:11:14.080 I'm talking about Sam Cooper. Sam is an award-winning investigative journalist, best-selling author.

00:11:20.080 You can find Sam's work on Substack. It is called The Bureau and I recommend you head on over there and check it out.

00:11:26.080 So Sam, thank you so much for joining the podcast today.

00:11:29.080 Glad to be here.

00:11:30.080 So why don't I just put the easy question to you first.

00:11:33.080 Does Canada have a fentanyl problem in our country and at our border?

00:11:39.080 Canada has a massive fentanyl problem.

00:11:41.080 My book, Willful Blindness, was ahead of the curve in recognizing that.

00:11:46.080 I'll just give you a few data points.

00:11:48.080 I found that a businessman, quote, businessman connected to a Chinese organized crime that was running billions of dollars

00:11:57.080 through B.C. government regulated casinos was caught with 85 tons of precursors for fentanyl and methamphetamine.

00:12:05.080 That was back in around 2016.

00:12:08.080 Recently, there was a super lab up in, you know, Falkland, B.C. in a mountainous area tucked away there.

00:12:16.080 It had a Mexican cartel fentanyl lab recipes, Chinese Mandarin label, the precursor boxes.

00:12:24.080 And the Mounties said they were capable of producing 95 million doses of fentanyl, enough to kill every Canadian twice over.

00:12:34.080 One more data point.

00:12:36.080 2022, the Vancouver port.

00:12:38.080 There was a thousand kilograms of fentanyl precursors caught by CBSA.

00:12:43.080 They were disguised in toy bins, came in in a container, I believe from China.

00:12:50.080 So Vancouver's port, as I've reported, has been infiltrated on a deep scale by organized crime, specifically Chinese organized crime.

00:13:00.080 And the Americans have been very concerned about this issue for years in Canada and our inability to prosecute fentanyl.

00:13:11.080 And it's only coming to the surface now with Donald Trump's very harsh rhetoric against Canada.

00:13:18.080 But all my expert sources in the US and Canada say, Mr.

00:13:23.080 Trump is right.

00:13:24.080 And even the Biden administration was saying the same thing.

00:13:29.080 And so we're facing a very serious problem.

00:13:32.080 I mean, it's frustrating that it takes a foreign entity like the Americans, like Donald Trump, to force Canada to recognize this.

00:13:39.080 And I still see some pushback, Sam, in the media.

00:13:42.080 Like there's a media narrative that Trump is just being irrational and that the the border problem really is solely in Mexico and that the Canada thing is just sort of made up so that Trump can impose his economic tariff agenda.

00:13:55.080 You can see here CNN writes that Canada makes up just point two percent of US border fentanyl seizures.

00:14:01.080 And here this is a stat that's repeated often, Sam, that there's only been 43 pounds seized at the Canadian border, 43 pounds of fentanyl compared with 21000 pounds of fentanyl on the Mexican border.

00:14:14.080 So, you know, they sort of downplay it.

00:14:17.080 They make it seem like it's not really a big deal.

00:14:19.080 I would I would I would argue is probably because they're not inspecting vehicles in the same way across the Canada border.

00:14:25.080 We did see some Canadian quote unquote Canadian truck drivers.

00:14:28.080 Some of them were Indians on student visas to Canada driving around with transport trucks full of drugs down in Indiana and other states.

00:14:37.080 And so can you help us sort of understand, like, why is it so few at the Canada border compared to the Mexico border?

00:14:43.080 And is there truth to this media narrative that it's so much more of a problem for Mexico and smaller problem for Canada?

00:14:51.080 Well, I've looked into this for 10 years.

00:14:53.080 So I saw you pulled up a name of a big former Toronto Star reporter there.

00:14:57.080 People are repeating at a surface level a data point 40 pounds, you know, at the land border.

00:15:04.080 And you're right, the United States certainly has addressed the Mexican border in a much different way than the Canadian border.

00:15:13.080 But people are missing the facts that I've laid out that British Columbia for decades has been the Western hub in North America for Chinese organized crime.

00:15:23.080 The the individuals that have penetrated Vancouver real estate and port are the very same Chinese Communist Party sponsored tycoons that the US military is concerned with in Panama.

00:15:39.080 And by the way, Panama has reacted very quickly to threats that America won't put up with their port being under such, you know, covert influence from China.

00:15:49.080 So people are missing really the fact that we have a decentralized offshore node of China's fentanyl production in British Columbia.

00:16:00.080 And let me reiterate those points, 1000 kilograms of fentanyl precursors in 2022 into Vancouver port, 85 tons of fentanyl and methamphetamine precursors seized from a Vancouver area businessman that I reported was working with Chinese organized crime casino money launders.

00:16:23.080 Those are figures that if you extrapolate the amount of fentanyl pills that can kill everyone in North America a few times over and no one in law enforcement, indeed, not many reporters have deep law enforcement sources, but no one in Canada and the United States at a high level is disputing that British Columbia especially is a global node for fentanyl production and it stems from China.

00:16:51.200 And the last point here is that, look, the last point here is that, look, I republished an interview that I did with a Vancouver area mayor, Brad West, in 2023, he disclosed that Biden administration, Biden admin Secretary of State Antony Blinken came up to British Columbia and reached out directly to the only politician taking fentanyl seriously, Brad West.

00:17:15.400 And Mr. West disclosed his discussion, the Biden administration was deeply concerned with Canada's legal loopholes and inability to prosecute fentanyl production and transnational organized crime, gaping holes in money laundering regulation.

00:17:33.400 And, you know, Canada is being used.

00:17:34.400 And, you know, Canada is being used.

00:17:36.400 And what I just said there indicates this is a Democratic Secretary of State saying, Canada, you need to work on something so we can have joint investigations.

00:17:46.400 Now, of course, an honest person will recognize that's exactly what has come out of this phone call with President Trump and Prime Minister Trudeau.

00:17:55.400 The U.S. needs joint investigations and some sort of workaround with Canadian law.

00:18:01.400 Well, help us understand those gaping holes that exist in Canadian law and the extent to which we have these Chinese criminal entities operating in Canada. 0.99

00:18:10.240 I think that like that might come as a surprise to many viewers, the fact that that these Chinese criminal gangs are able to operate in Canada. 0.62

00:18:17.940 I know that Pierre Polyev released a video yesterday talking about how he wants to bring in life sentences for people who are involved in like the kingpins of this fentanyl trade.

00:18:28.980 And that one of the laws that he mentioned was Bill C-5 the Liberals had brought in, which basically did away with mandatory minimums and Polyev would bring it back.

00:18:38.980 But help us understand the laws that are needed, the holes and how it is that China has been able to get such a foothold in Canada.

00:18:46.980 What we have in Canada is essentially a completely neutered RCMP that doesn't have the laws to investigate and prosecute money laundering.

00:18:59.980 So that without getting into too many legal weeds, as my prosecutor expert sources, veterans tell me, there's no such thing as a money laundering defense or an organized defense crime, organized crime defense in Canada from from from some very serious criminals without a charter of rights defense.

00:19:22.100 And what that means is Canada has a huge difficulty in not only prosecuting massive money laundering offenses, but they can't even get police can't get wiretaps on known Mexican cartel operatives or Chinese triad operatives that have set up in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

00:19:42.840 And if you're saying, you know, where's the proof of this gaping weakness, the Toronto Dominion Bank case, where this Canadian bank is prosecuted in a deferred prosecution agreement, something like a $4 billion Canadian fine.

00:19:57.960 And my American law enforcement sources said, look, the US government had to step up and point to the massive fentanyl money laundering running through that Canadian bank.

00:20:08.180 And furthermore, their investigation showed that the what they call the command and control of the Chinese organized crime behind that money laundering operation is in Toronto and Vancouver.

00:20:22.680 And they're laundering, they're setting up the whole money laundering system for the Mexican cartels that are, you know, the ones pushing the fentanyl in American cities and streets.

00:20:33.620 It's it's Chinese support Chinese government supported criminals that are based in Toronto and Vancouver because of our weak laws that are running the Western hemisphere money laundering. 0.87

00:20:45.840 They're the masterminds of this. And as my DEA sources say, not many people know that Chinese organized crime is at the top of the food chain for international organized crime in the Western hemisphere. 0.66

00:20:58.620 It's not even the cartels. It's a whole economic system that's based on, you know, money moving around the world in so-called underground banks that are connected to Chinese diaspora communities and organized crime that's shocking to believe is supported by Beijing.

00:21:17.180 One of the things that Pierre was talking about in his video yesterday was how there are these super labs that exist in Canada.

00:21:24.380 You mentioned Falkland, British Columbia. I think there was a raid and they found just incredibly sophisticated drug super labs that, you know, are straight out of a Hollywood movie or Breaking Bad.

00:21:35.180 Like how, who set them up? Like, where are they coming from? Why are the Chinese allowed to operate like this in Canada? 1.00

00:21:41.780 I've been talking to, uh, uh, uh, off the records, uh, police sources on that Falkland lab case for a while.

00:21:50.580 So let's draw the mind map. This, uh, massive industrial scale lab is tucked up into a mountainous town, not too far from the Alberta border in British Columbia that has two police officers.

00:22:04.280 So it's up there in the woods. There's a fairly, I'm told sizable motorcycle outlaw gang population in the area, but my sources, uh, are, are very firm in saying, uh, this is Mexican cartel run Chinese triad run.

00:22:20.040 And there are even, as I am told, uh, Iranian state sponsored crime, uh, indications in this operation at the highest levels.

00:22:30.040 And so it could be, you know, uh, the very well entrenched biker gangs and the street gangs in BC that are running the product around.

00:22:38.040 But when it comes to shipping the precursors into Vancouver's port, remember those thousand kilogram seizures I told you about, there's a lot that's not being seized.

00:22:48.040 It's being moved into Vancouver's port, which is controlled by organized crime.

00:22:52.040 Uh, pretty, uh, pretty extensively. Those precursors are set, sent up to an area of British Columbia with not many police.

00:23:00.040 And then the product, the RCMP confirmed this is exported out of British Columbia.

00:23:06.040 So, uh, it goes, as I know, to Australia, it goes to Japan, it goes to the United States and that's by shipping.

00:23:14.040 Uh, and it gets very complex. I come back to your question.

00:23:18.040 You know, why is so little comparatively caught at a land border?

00:23:22.040 Well, it's being shipped back out of Vancouver port and moved around the world in sophisticated ways.

00:23:27.040 And can you help us understand, like, why, why don't they find it in the ports?

00:23:32.040 Like, what is the procedure?

00:23:34.040 Like, are people just allowed to pack their own trailers and put them in without inspection?

00:23:39.040 I'm just trying to wrap my head around how so much, so many drugs, so much drugs are passing through our Canadian cities without being stopped and detected.

00:23:47.040 This is a huge story.

00:23:49.040 And again, this is why the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement community and politicians like Trump

00:23:55.040 now very openly are concerned.

00:23:58.040 Uh, in the 1990s, we had federal port police in Vancouver.

00:24:03.040 As I've written in Willful Blindness, my book, and for the Bureau very recently, documents say that Canadian police were up, were afraid, were outraged

00:24:13.040 when the Christian government pulled the federal port police out of Vancouver and in Canada's other ports and privatized those ports.

00:24:22.040 So what, what occurred is that, uh, foreign organized crime entities were able to apply for docking facilities, uh, in Vancouver.

00:24:32.040 The hell's angels, uh, infiltrated the union.

00:24:35.040 Let's just keep focused on Vancouver.

00:24:37.040 And, uh, as one of my police, uh, expert sources, Gary Clement says, who's, uh, investigated this for years and warned about it for years with no, uh, result.

00:24:49.040 Well, the Fox is running the hen house for the ports.

00:24:52.040 There's maybe I, the, the, the latest figures I hear are one to at top 5% of containers coming in to Vancouver port are searched.

00:25:01.040 And, uh, some of this is open source, uh, information.

00:25:05.040 Some of it I'm telling you is, uh, historical intelligence documents.

00:25:09.040 And, uh, some of it is off the record, uh, very fresh and current intelligence from Canadian police sources that say they don't like hearing what Donald Trump's saying then more than anyone else.

00:25:21.040 But Donald Trump, unfortunately is right.

00:25:23.040 We can't defend ourselves.

00:25:25.040 Well, I mean, thank, thankfully Trump is pointing it out because I mean, what you describe is kind of like a United Nations of bad guys in Canada operating these drug communities, you know, Iranians, Mexicans, Chinese.

00:25:38.040 Uh, I wonder if that's what Justin Trudeau envisioned when he called Canada, the first post national state.

00:25:43.040 I know Pierre Polyev has been hammering, uh, Trudeau on this.

00:25:47.040 I want to play a clip. This was from back in December.

00:25:49.040 And Pierre Polyev explains how it's Justin Trudeau's agenda that has led to this crisis.

00:25:56.040 Let's play this clip.

00:25:57.040 ...on the prime minister's radical liberalization of hard drugs.

00:26:01.040 He teamed up with the BC NDP to decriminalize fentanyl crack and heroin.

00:26:06.040 He lowered jail sentences for mass producers of deadly fentanyl.

00:26:13.040 And 80% of the fentanyl made in Canada is done so using ingredients that are not even regulated,

00:26:21.040 but come right into our country where they're cooked into that poison.

00:26:25.040 Now threatening our trade relationship with the U.S.

00:26:28.040 Will he reverse his radical liberal drug agenda to save lives and jobs?

00:26:34.040 So this was back in December, 2024.

00:26:37.040 Uh, Pierre pointing out that it's also to do with Justin Trudeau's drug policies.

00:26:41.040 I want to share a post that Pierre Polyev put on social media back in August of 2024.

00:26:48.040 I couldn't believe this.

00:26:49.040 Like I had to ask my staff to like, just like, am I, am I reading this right?

00:26:54.040 Like, what am I missing here?

00:26:55.040 Because it was so outrageous.

00:26:56.040 Uh, Sean, if we can show this image here.

00:26:58.040 Um, this is a post on Instagram of a company.

00:27:03.040 So, so, so Pierre Polyev is sharing this as a tweet, but the picture that you can see is of the, the, the caption says a beautiful chunk of fentanyl.

00:27:12.040 Okay.

00:27:13.040 And so this is, as Pierre points out, one of Justin Trudeau's drug dents wants you, wants to share with you a beautiful chunk of fentanyl, a dangerous hard drug that destroys the lives of tens of thousands of people.

00:27:24.040 Shut down these wacko drug dens, ban hard drugs, fund treatment and recovery, and bring our loved ones home drug free. 1.00

00:27:33.040 Like I, I just, I couldn't believe.

00:27:35.040 So, so the, the original post was from a group called the Kensington market overdose prevention site.

00:27:40.040 Um, this is one of the government funded, uh, you know, they call it an anti-harm site or prevention site, but, but they're, they're actually celebrating and calling it a beautiful chunk of fentanyl.

00:27:52.040 I mean, I just don't understand how anyone can look at fentanyl and think that I need to share this on social media.

00:27:57.040 It's so beautiful.

00:27:58.040 Um, so can you help me understand like what, like, how is Justin Trudeau's drug laws also, um, allowing all of this to, uh, happen?

00:28:07.040 This is, uh, an issue that, uh, I have, uh, outsourced for the Bureau to, uh, a report that's really dug in named Adam Zivo.

00:28:16.040 Uh, it's called Safer Supply.

00:28:19.040 It's been called harm reduction, which is, you know, uh, uh, uh, a medical idea that we can lessen the harms of, uh, you know, some very, very impoverished and often mentally sort of, uh, uh, uh, ill people that are abusing drugs.

00:28:34.040 But it, what Safer Supply does is it gives out, uh, you know, medical health Canada opioids.

00:28:42.040 Uh, you know, they, they're called Dilialu.

00:28:45.040 I'm not, I'm going to get the name Ron.

00:28:47.040 The kids call them dillies.

00:28:48.040 You know, this is a type of pharmaceutical that BC pharmacies are, uh, legislated to give out to addicts to get them off so-called toxic heroin, sorry, toxic heroin and fentanyl.

00:29:03.040 And, uh, what's happening is that organized crime dealers just swoop in and take, uh, the, the, the dillies or the Canadian regulated pharmaceuticals that are given to addicts.

00:29:16.040 And they up and sell them, uh, you know, across Canada internationally, it has come out.

00:29:22.040 So organized crime is taking this government substitute heroin or opioids and is, uh, using the proceeds to deal more fentanyl.

00:29:33.040 And I think that's what Mr. Polyev is getting towards.

00:29:36.040 There is, you know, within what could have started as a good idea, sort of, uh, let's treat, uh, the, you know, the, the, the, the epidemic in our streets with a medical sort of, uh, approach.

00:29:49.040 It hasn't turned out.

00:29:51.040 And then, so you get radical populations of, uh, pharmacists and harm reductionists that will post a picture of beautiful, what you and I know is life destroying fentanyl.

00:30:03.040 And it's just, I mean, it's, it's an example of, uh, an ideology that that's run.

00:30:10.040 There's no common sense to it.

00:30:12.040 It just leads to makes a bad problem worse in a nutshell.

00:30:16.040 It's so unbelievable to me that they would be like celebrating a drug that kills thousands and thousands of Canadians per year.

00:30:22.040 Like I didn't even know that fentanyl was a drug that people took.

00:30:25.040 I thought it was something that was like accidentally put in other drugs.

00:30:27.040 Um, so I, I, I didn't know that myself, but, uh, unbelievable.

00:30:31.040 The fact that the Trudeau government is involved with giving sick people, um, like deadly street drugs.

00:30:37.040 Uh, Sam, I, I, I really want to ask you final question unrelated.

00:30:41.040 Uh, since I have you on the show, I know that this is right up your wheelhouse.

00:30:44.040 So we had that parliamentary report that came out, uh, last week saying that, uh, really there was no foreign interference.

00:30:50.040 After all that, after two years of headlines, uh, nobody acted in bad faith.

00:30:56.040 So I'm just wondering, uh, I know we only have a few minutes, but, um, what, uh, what was your takeaway from that report?

00:31:03.040 Well, I, I, I didn't hold back very much when I went on a podcast with three former CSIS officers.

00:31:10.040 And we, we all are of the opinion that, uh, the, the report of justice Hogue is there's no way, no other way to put it, but a whitewash, or you could call it David Johnston 2.0.

00:31:23.040 A number of people have pointed out, unfortunately, that I say I would, I, I wanted to give the justice a chance to see what she would do with the evidence.

00:31:32.040 And with her whitewash report, yeah, I think it's important to point out that, uh, others have noted, uh, historically she and her, uh, former law firm had close connections to two liberal prime ministers.

00:31:45.040 One of them related to Justin Trudeau, his father, Pierre Trudeau.

00:31:48.040 So it looks like a situation where, uh, I, I think the good of the Hogue commission is that tremendous thousands of documents came out.

00:31:59.040 So reporters, uh, diligent, curious Canadians can go in and read the evidence for themselves.

00:32:05.040 There's no denying that China has deeply interfered in, uh, our recent elections, but there's also no denying that, uh, the commission was given a very narrow mandate, which justice Hogue admitted, uh, a small timeframe to look into these concerns.

00:32:21.040 And at the end of the day, uh, came to a completely different conclusion than, as you know, the NSI Cup 2024 report from bipartisan, uh, panel of parliamentarians that reviewed something like thousands of the same documents that the Hogue commission did.

00:32:39.040 And they came to the finding that, uh, there are Canadian parliamentarians wittingly working with foreign governments.

00:32:46.040 So I just can't reconcile, uh, those two different findings and looking at the evidence without any bias.

00:32:54.040 I think the evidence, and also my private knowledge of more evidence that didn't come out supports the conclusion that indeed there are politicians wittingly working with foreign governments, benefiting knowingly from foreign government support.

00:33:10.040 And I'll add one quote that never made it into a story with my former employer, uh, my colleague, Stuart Bell, uh, talked to one of his RCMP sources for one of our stories.

00:33:22.040 And the source said the amount of politicians, uh, entangled in foreign interference is, is large.

00:33:29.040 And, uh, the honest ones had better wake up and, and understand what they're getting involved with.

00:33:34.040 It's unbelievable. You know, there's so much huffing and puffing over Donald Trump's comments and jests about Canada becoming the 51st state and Canadians jumping up and down demanding, um, that we maintain our sovereignty and maintain our independence.

00:33:46.040 Meanwhile, we have our parliament that is at risk of foreign interference and our elections at risk of foreign interference.

00:33:54.040 And we have drug pins, a king pins from all over the world operating in Canada.

00:33:58.040 It doesn't really paint a very optimistic picture of the sovereignty of Canada.

00:34:03.040 I think we really have our work cut out for you, uh, cut out for us.

00:34:06.040 Uh, Sam, what do you think?

00:34:08.040 I believe so.

00:34:09.040 And, you know, I'll, I'll add this, my information and I'm conversant with U S intelligence, uh, uh, officials and politicians versed in U S intelligence is that the U S government at a bipartisan level has a deep concern with, uh, Canada's incapacity to, uh, uh, counter foreign interference.

00:34:31.040 Most specifically from China, but also Iranian state sponsored crime and terror networks and, uh, individuals that want to use Canada's borders to hurt the United States.

00:34:43.040 That's the concern.

00:34:44.040 And that's why Mr.

00:34:45.040 President Trump is saying some very hurtful, but, uh, a lot of it truthful things towards Canada.

00:34:52.040 And my last observation is I just, I find a level of denial from what, what a lot of people call the Laurentian elite that has kind of run this country for 40 years.

00:35:02.040 And has run it in a bad direction, I think.

00:35:05.040 And we're, we're seeing what the end result of that is right now.

00:35:09.040 Well, Sam, thank you so much for joining the show and keep up the incredible work that you do.

00:35:13.040 You're one of the best, if not the best investigative journalists, independent journalists in the country.

00:35:18.040 So, uh, thanks for all your, all your work and thanks for your time today.

00:35:21.040 Thanks so much.

00:35:22.040 And really everybody should go check out Sam Cooper's, uh, sub stack.

00:35:28.040 It's called the Bureau subscribe over there to help support his work because from best I can tell, he is one of the only ones who not only has this information as fingertips, has the expertise and the knowledge to find the information.

00:35:39.040 Um, but also has the courage and the bravery to expose it because, uh, believe me, when you're exposing this kind of information about the worst people, the absolute worst people in Canada.

00:35:50.040 Uh, it definitely comes with some risks.

00:35:52.040 So we want to do everything we can to support a fellow, uh, independent journalist over there.

00:35:57.040 Okay. I do want to get to Mark Carney cause I think this was quite the gap.

00:36:01.040 It really shows us what Carney is really thinking.

00:36:04.040 You know, so there's so much made about how Mark Carney is sort of like a new and improved Justin Trudeau, that he has the same beliefs as Justin Trudeau, but somehow he's better put together and he looks more like a prime minister and he has this banking background and this very fancy, uh, education.

00:36:19.040 And I don't think he's a very good politician.

00:36:21.040 Um, and it's clips like this, uh, that make me think that, but first I'm going to, uh, introduce our next guest on the show who is Julian Newman.

00:36:28.040 He is an entrepreneur and the former head organizer for the NDP under Tom Mulcair.

00:36:34.040 And he ran Quebec operations for that party under Jack Layton.

00:36:38.040 Um, someone we've had on the show before, so I will welcome Julian now.

00:36:41.040 Hey, Julian, thanks for joining us.

00:36:43.040 Thanks for having me back, Candace.

00:36:45.040 Yeah, it's always a pleasure.

00:36:47.040 Okay.

00:36:48.040 Let's, let's play this clip.

00:36:49.040 I want to show the audience, uh, what I'm talking about here.

00:36:51.040 This is Mark Carney at a campaign stop in Windsor, Ontario yesterday, February 5th, uh, talking to reporters.

00:36:58.040 And this sounds like a canned line.

00:37:00.040 I think that he pre-prepared this.

00:37:02.040 Um, so this is where his campaign is coming from.

00:37:04.040 Let's play that clip.

00:37:06.040 There's a fever gripping America.

00:37:09.040 And while it rages, Canadians will remain resolute and true to our values.

00:37:16.040 While America engages in a war on woke, Canadians will continue to value inclusiveness.

00:37:23.040 So he's talking about a fire raging United States.

00:37:28.040 I don't know.

00:37:29.040 It sounds, it sounds like a movement that I want to be part of.

00:37:31.040 Uh, Mark Carney says that the war on woke is something that he will not do.

00:37:35.040 And he'll fight against.

00:37:36.040 So I guess that means that he wants to fight a war for woke, um, in exchange for exclusivity.

00:37:40.040 I don't know if you got the memo, like, you know, 2018 is long, long over, uh, 2025.

00:37:46.040 People don't like that stuff anymore.

00:37:47.040 Uh, Julian, what was your take on this?

00:37:49.040 Exactly the same as you, you know, it's like, uh, the war on woke is over.

00:37:54.040 The war on woke finished five years ago.

00:37:56.040 Um, you know, in my job as an entrepreneur, uh, I, I spend most of my time with like fortune

00:38:02.040 500 CEOs and like Davos type people.

00:38:06.040 This is what they were saying and thinking like eight years ago.

00:38:10.040 Like nobody's on board for this stuff anymore.

00:38:13.040 I mostly live in California.

00:38:14.040 People in California are over this stuff.

00:38:16.040 Like this guy is, it's like, you know, 2012 is calling and they want their style back.

00:38:22.040 Well, it just seems to me that when, when, when you look at like what, what has happened,

00:38:27.040 right?

00:38:28.040 There was this cultural moment where you had black lives matter.

00:38:30.040 You had, uh, in Canada, the story of the unmarked graves, and there was just a lot of

00:38:35.040 like consternation and it moved right into the corporate world where all of a sudden all

00:38:39.040 the banks and all the corporations were really just pushing pride down our throat.

00:38:44.040 They've been doing it for years.

00:38:45.040 They've been doing it for decades really, but it just really ramped up.

00:38:48.040 I think post COVID we were all a little crazy and all of a sudden everybody's pronouns were

00:38:53.040 showing up in their, in their bios and in their, on their, uh, right after their names

00:38:57.040 on social media.

00:38:58.040 And it was like, they were really pushing it.

00:39:00.040 And I, I think that one of the things that came out of the 2024 election was a big sort

00:39:05.040 of F you, um, pardon my language, but we're done with it.

00:39:09.040 We're, we're done with, um, boys playing in girls sports.

00:39:12.040 We're done with this whole idea that we have to, uh, use your preferred pronoun or like

00:39:18.040 any, any number of things.

00:39:19.040 Like, I don't think that Canada has had like a total sudden shift.

00:39:23.040 I think we still have our work cut out for us in this country to, to rid the sort of 1.00

00:39:27.040 ideological scourge that exists, especially in our education system.

00:39:32.040 Um, but I think as a general vibe, you know, the, the zeitgeist in our culture right now,

00:39:37.040 this is wrong.

00:39:38.040 And so I'm just wondering like, who's, who's advising Mark Carney?

00:39:42.040 Why does he think that this is a good line?

00:39:44.040 And for you, Julian, from the NDP perspective, like if the liberals want to go hard, woke

00:39:49.040 again, um, what do you think the NDP should do in that situation?

00:39:54.040 Well, I can tell you what the NDP should do, which is still, you know, just be normal.

00:40:01.040 Um, what the NDP will do is the complete opposite of that.

00:40:05.040 And if you look at the Jagmeet Singh's Twitter, like his Twitter bio, the first thing in his

00:40:11.040 Twitter bio is please pronounce my name properly.

00:40:14.040 It's pronounced jug meat.

00:40:16.040 It's like, dude, no one cares.

00:40:18.040 Your name's Jagmeet.

00:40:19.040 We speak English here, like get over it. 1.00

00:40:21.040 Um, so, you know, that's, they're also stuck in this weird rabbit hole.

00:40:27.040 Like I think the only two humans live today who, who care about this stuff other than Mark Carney

00:40:32.040 or like Justin and Jack meet.

00:40:34.040 Um, but you know, who's advising Mark Carney?

00:40:38.040 It's probably just him.

00:40:40.040 Uh, this is probably really what he thinks, um, because he's like so stuck in his, you

00:40:45.040 know, banker, banker bubble and, uh, in London.

00:40:48.040 Yeah.

00:40:49.040 The sort of BlackRock agenda, the WEF agenda.

00:40:51.040 I did.

00:40:52.040 I want to tie this to what Donald Trump is doing down in the States.

00:40:55.040 It's just been fast and furious.

00:40:56.040 One executive order after another.

00:40:58.040 It has conservatives like me, just like cheering and applauding and waiting for the moment

00:41:03.040 when we can implement this kind of stuff in Canada.

00:41:05.040 I, hopefully it'll be soon.

00:41:07.040 Hopefully it will be under a peer poly of government, but maybe not.

00:41:10.040 Maybe, maybe we still need a strong PPC, uh, you know, section to, to be pushing this

00:41:16.040 kind of stuff even harder because I don't know that the conservatives will come all the way

00:41:19.040 around, even though they definitely should.

00:41:20.040 But yesterday, Donald Trump signed this incredible executive order.

00:41:25.040 Uh, I want to play the clip because the imagery is just so beautiful here.

00:41:29.040 I, it's just, it's such a win for Donald Trump, such a win for conservatives.

00:41:32.040 He signed this executive order that will ban, um, men from playing in women's sports.

00:41:38.040 I can't believe this is even controversial.

00:41:40.040 The whole point of women's sports is so that girls can have a chance to play without, uh, 1.00

00:41:43.040 getting hurt and, and without having to compete against someone who has an unfair advantage

00:41:48.040 because they're bigger and stronger.

00:41:49.040 Um, so here was Trump on Wednesday signing this executive order.

00:41:53.040 Oh, I think we have a 10.

00:41:57.040 We have a 10.

00:41:59.040 God bless you, Mr. President.

00:42:01.040 So the order titled Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports mandates that Title IX, the federal law

00:42:14.040 banning sex discrimination in schools, be interpreted as prohibiting the participation

00:42:19.040 of transgendered girls and women in female sports.

00:42:23.040 Uh, Trump said that we will not allow men to beat up, injure, or cheat our women or our girls.

00:42:28.040 From now on, women's sports will only be for women. 1.00

00:42:31.040 Amen.

00:42:32.040 Uh, I just want to show you one more, uh, post because, uh, when I read this, Julian, I thought

00:42:37.040 of you because I think maybe, uh, this might be how you feel, but you can tell me what you

00:42:40.040 think.

00:42:41.040 So this is a philosophy professor, uh, at American, you know, at an open, at open university, uh,

00:42:46.040 named John Pike.

00:42:47.040 And he writes this.

00:42:48.040 He says, how could the left, my side, the clever side, the critical side, the informed side, 1.00

00:42:54.040 the anti-sexist side be so deeply stupid as to hand this victory to someone who is none 1.00

00:43:00.040 of these things. 1.00

00:43:01.040 So I think that that is someone on the political left who gets it.

00:43:05.040 Uh, what do you think?

00:43:07.040 I think that's how everybody, like every actual real human leftist feels.

00:43:13.040 Um, you know, you have these people who posture, uh, online to get like Twitter bots to like

00:43:20.040 their tweets.

00:43:21.040 They think that, you know, all this strange stuff is the way to go.

00:43:27.040 I haven't met a single NDP member.

00:43:30.040 Uh, and I, I assume it's the same in the liberal party who is still on board with this stuff.

00:43:35.040 Like they just don't exist in the wild.

00:43:39.040 Interesting.

00:43:40.040 I mean, I don't, I don't agree with what John Pike, the professor said there, because I don't

00:43:44.040 think that the left is actually the clever, critical, informed anti-sexist side.

00:43:47.040 I think a lot of the sort of hidden undertones for particularly of the trans movement was

00:43:52.040 that it's quite anti-woman.

00:43:54.040 Um, the fact that they couldn't even define what a woman was and it always seemed to be aimed 1.00

00:43:59.040 at women, not men.

00:44:00.040 Um, you know, there was still, there's still an easier time defining what a man is because everyone

00:44:04.040 knows what a man is.

00:44:05.040 Um, but it, but it was particularly women. 1.00

00:44:07.040 And, um, I've seen this because I've been critical of trans sex change surgeries of cross 1.00

00:44:13.040 sex hormones, especially given to children.

00:44:15.040 Um, you know, I've seen my fair share of vitriol from these people online who are very animated

00:44:21.040 and very angry.

00:44:22.040 And I think a lot of it is sort of, you know, just disguised hatred, but they, they, they

00:44:29.040 did sort of rule the day, right?

00:44:31.040 Everyone on the corporate in corporate Canada and the political left, Trudeau saying both

00:44:37.040 parties sort of embrace this thing wholeheartedly.

00:44:40.040 It's going to be interesting if they walk it back.

00:44:42.040 If, uh, Mark Carney continues to go full fledged and so, so, so called against the war on woke,

00:44:49.040 um, doing this will be a ballot box question in the upcoming election.

00:44:52.040 And, you know, what is the correct position for people on the left to be taking on this issue?

00:44:57.040 I think the correct position for people on the left is to say, this is just not an important

00:45:02.040 issue for us.

00:45:03.040 This has nothing to do with the left.

00:45:05.040 This has something to do with something else that that's just not left.

00:45:10.040 It's not right.

00:45:11.040 It's has nothing to do with that.

00:45:13.040 Like the left, my definition of left is you're on the side of workers.

00:45:18.040 Um, and normal people have jobs.

00:45:20.040 Uh, and that's, that's what you should be focused on.

00:45:23.040 And, you know, on this issue, right?

00:45:25.040 What do most normal regular people have jobs?

00:45:28.040 Think of it.

00:45:29.040 That is left wing position.

00:45:31.040 Um, there is another position and it's the kind of like 50 people live around the university

00:45:38.040 of Toronto and, and are unemployed and have nothing to do, but to tweet.

00:45:42.040 Um, those people have their own position.

00:45:45.040 I think they brand themselves as left, but, you know, you know, if you want to get the

00:45:50.040 50 votes, um, go for it.

00:45:52.040 But, uh, you know, if you want to get real Canadians, uh, whether you're Mark Carney or

00:45:57.040 Jagmeet Singh, um, you know, you should be talking about things they care about.

00:46:01.040 Okay.

00:46:02.040 Well, let's talk about the Canadian political situation right now, because we're sort of

00:46:06.040 in this weird situation where we're dealing with a national crises, but we don't have parliament.

00:46:10.040 Parliament's not in session because Justin Trudeau prorogued it.

00:46:13.040 You have peer poly of calling for parliament to get back in session so that we can possibly

00:46:18.040 pass a bunch of bills and measures to beef up the border security, possibly provide aid

00:46:23.040 to workers if there is a trade war.

00:46:25.040 Uh, but then at the same time, Jagmeet Singh had said that if parliament is recalled, he'll

00:46:29.040 immediately call an election.

00:46:31.040 So there's kind of a contradiction where it's like, we want to get parliament back, but as

00:46:34.040 soon as parliament's back, we're going to, we're going to, uh, have a non-confidence vote to pull

00:46:39.040 the plug on government to force an election.

00:46:41.040 So we wouldn't be able to pass any of these kinds of spending bills anyways.

00:46:44.040 And then you had Jagmeet Singh kind of hinting at the fact that maybe he won't pull the plug

00:46:49.040 on the government.

00:46:50.040 So this is a clip from last week, Tuesday, January 28th, right?

00:46:54.040 Uh, you know, before the tariffs were imposed and before Trump reversed the tariffs.

00:46:58.040 Um, so he was speaking at a press conference where he says, maybe we just won't, uh, let's

00:47:04.040 play that clip.

00:47:05.040 Uh, if Trump follows through on his plan with tariffs, would you keep the liberals in power

00:47:10.040 and allow for the passage of a work relief program before supporting a non-confidence

00:47:15.040 motion?

00:47:16.040 Uh, I'll just start off by the fact that I've spoken with a lot of workers who are deeply

00:47:21.040 worried about what the Trump tariffs might mean.

00:47:23.040 We do need to have a plan in place to support those, those that are impacted, those businesses,

00:47:28.040 those workers, most importantly, if there is any desire to move forward, the government

00:47:32.040 should call us together.

00:47:33.040 Like we did during COVID and discuss a plan that supports workers.

00:47:38.040 So he's talking about discussing a plan, having everybody together.

00:47:41.040 That doesn't really sound like I'm going to pull the plug and force an election the second

00:47:46.040 we get back, which is what he applied before.

00:47:48.040 What do you, what do you make of all this?

00:47:50.040 Yeah, well, I'll start by saying Jagme has no plan to call the trigger an election.

00:47:55.040 Um, and we've actually been doing, our group has been doing quite substantive, uh, investigations

00:48:01.040 into what's going on, on, on the ground.

00:48:04.040 I've been working with, uh, several news outlets to try to get them to write a piece on this.

00:48:09.040 Um, so I can get back to that, but, um, you know, on the broader situation, I think it's,

00:48:16.040 you know, much worse than what you described, like our prime ministers quit.

00:48:20.040 Right.

00:48:21.040 We have our parliament who are the only people that, that Canadians vote for in the Canadian,

00:48:26.040 you know, political system.

00:48:28.040 They've been dissolved.

00:48:30.040 There's, there's no parliament.

00:48:31.040 Um, the, the ministers, they're like jockeying to like keep their job in the next, you know,

00:48:38.040 with whoever becomes the, the, uh, prime minister.

00:48:42.040 And then like the opposition leaders, right.

00:48:46.040 And this includes, includes the conservatives and the NDP and the bloc.

00:48:50.040 Everybody, their incentive is not to look out for Canada's interests.

00:48:56.040 It's to do electioneering so that they win the next election or don't get wiped out.

00:49:00.040 In the case of the NDP, um, like what Canada needs is a real functional government.

00:49:08.040 What Canada needs is an election so that people can get into a normal situation and they can

00:49:15.040 have the incentive, which is a right incentive just to look out for Canada.

00:49:19.040 Because right now nobody wants to do that because it's counterproductive for them to be on the side of Canada.

00:49:26.040 They're incentivized to be on the side of themselves.

00:49:29.040 Well, you certainly saw that.

00:49:30.040 I think that so much of the posturing around the Trump tariff war was really designed to boost Justin Trudeau's, uh,

00:49:38.040 public approval rating, uh, which doesn't make sense to your point that he supposedly quit.

00:49:43.040 I mean, he told us that he was resigning and then he didn't actually resign.

00:49:47.040 So he said he's, he was intending to resign eventually. 0.95

00:49:50.040 And now we're stuck with him in this complete ridiculous lame duck scenario.

00:49:54.040 And then meanwhile, we have Mark Carney, who's basically being, uh, selected and, and, and put in as prime minister.

00:50:02.040 And he's saying that he's regularly in communication with cabinet and making comments to Trump about the trade war.

00:50:09.040 Hello. He's not even the liberal leader yet.

00:50:11.040 I do think he'll win and I do presume that he will be our next prime minister, uh, but he's not at this point.

00:50:16.040 Uh, but he's not at this point.

00:50:17.040 So he has no business telling cabinet ministers what to do or being in communication with them.

00:50:22.040 I don't even know if he has security clearance.

00:50:24.040 Um, it's, it's, it's totally making a mockery of our system.

00:50:29.040 Um, and you know, it's, it's no wonder I talked about off the top of the show, how, uh, pride in Canada has plummeted.

00:50:36.040 It's incredible.

00:50:37.040 Back in the eighties, uh, pride in Canada was like almost universal.

00:50:41.040 It was like 80%, 85% of Canadians love being Canadian and felt very, very proud.

00:50:46.040 And under this, uh, government under, under what has happened with Justin Trudeau, it's down to 34%.

00:50:50.040 Now the media are doing their best to try to boost him up back up.

00:50:53.040 And he's gotten a little boost with this, uh, Trump back and forth, which again, makes me a little bit cynical about whether it wasn't all just an act, um, to try to boost his, uh, public opinion.

00:51:05.040 And, um, what, what Canadians think about, what do you think?

00:51:10.040 I think Justin Trudeau is fixated on two things.

00:51:14.040 One, sabotaging Christopher Freeland, who he now hates.

00:51:18.040 Uh, and two, um, pandering to whoever would give him a job or maybe even has already committed to giving him a job, uh, after he leaves.

00:51:31.040 I mean, and that's not like, that is what you would expect from a normal human being.

00:51:37.040 Like in a month from now, he'll be unemployed or maybe he'll have some big jobs somewhere.

00:51:42.040 Right.

00:51:43.040 And, um, Christopher Freeland just screwed him over.

00:51:46.040 Uh, I don't blame them for, for doing that, right?

00:51:50.040 Like that's, that's what anybody would do.

00:51:53.040 It's probably what I would do.

00:51:54.040 That's why we need a proper real government and a proper real prime minister. 0.99

00:51:58.040 And that's why we need an election to be called, you know, in December.

00:52:02.040 Um, and that's why we need an election be called, you know, in April, I guess.

00:52:07.040 Um, and unfortunately it doesn't seem like we're on track for having an election called anytime soon.

00:52:13.040 And we're going to be stuck in this complete chit show in a very dangerous situation.

00:52:19.040 Uh, and, and, you know, you know, the liberals are to blame, but the NDP too.

00:52:25.040 Okay.

00:52:26.040 Jagmeet.

00:52:27.040 Jagmeet.

00:52:28.040 Okay.

00:52:29.040 So I, I want to ask you this because there's been these sort of videos and rumors circulating online that we might not actually have an election, right?

00:52:35.040 Many Canadians were saying, phew, Justin Trudeau has resigned.

00:52:38.040 That's gotta mean that we're going to have an election.

00:52:40.040 Um, we do have an elections Canada act that says that every four years, there must be an election.

00:52:44.040 So that would bring us to October.

00:52:46.040 Then you had Jagmeet Singh saying he was going to pull the plug.

00:52:48.040 So we could have an election.

00:52:49.040 Um, presumably that would happen at the end of March when the liberal leader, uh, is installed as prime minister, giving us a May election.

00:52:57.040 But then there's been this constitutional theory that the elections Canada act can actually be rewritten by the legislature.

00:53:05.040 And that our constitution only says that every five years, uh, is when an election must happen, meaning that we wouldn't have one until October of 2026.

00:53:14.040 Meaning another, what, 18 months of this liberal NDP coalition government.

00:53:19.040 So in order for that to happen, presumably again, uh, Mark Carney is going to be the prime minister.

00:53:24.040 He's going to be installed.

00:53:25.040 And he, all he would have to do is negotiate a deal with Jagmeet.

00:53:29.040 Maybe say, Hey, you can come and be in my cabinet.

00:53:32.040 You can be part of my inner circle of decision makers.

00:53:35.040 All you have to do is sign this piece of paper, sign away your soul.

00:53:38.040 You've already done it.

00:53:39.040 So you might as well make another deal with the devil here.

00:53:41.040 And Canadians could have to live through 18 months of an unelected Mark Carney.

00:53:48.040 Prime ministership.

00:53:49.040 What do you think of that?

00:53:50.040 So I'd say one, nobody on the ground in the NDP is preparing for an election in a month and a half or two months.

00:53:59.040 They're just not.

00:54:00.040 Um, so they don't think, or the, the, the NDP is an institution doesn't think there's going to be an election, uh, in April.

00:54:08.040 Um, or at least they're not acting as if, as if they think that.

00:54:12.040 So that's one thing.

00:54:13.040 Um, the second thing is, as you say, this sort of fixed election.

00:54:17.040 Sort of fixed election date law that was set up.

00:54:20.040 Um, that's not how Canada's system works.

00:54:23.040 Canada system.

00:54:24.040 Isn't that there is no fixed election date in a parliamentary, um, system.

00:54:31.040 And, um, you know, there's, there's no reason why they can't prolong it further out.

00:54:41.040 You know, it's not like we've been doing this.

00:54:43.040 It's not this like set thing that we've been doing for hundreds of years.

00:54:46.040 Like it's happened like once or whatever.

00:54:49.040 And, uh, you know, they can say, well, there's this big crisis, blah, blah, blah.

00:54:52.040 So that's entirely plausible.

00:54:54.040 Um, and, uh, on the Jagmeet front, his incentive. 0.83

00:55:01.040 Well, as things stand, Jagmeet is going to lose his seat.

00:55:05.040 Uh, he will no longer be a member of parliament.

00:55:08.040 Presumably that means he'll get booted out, uh, as leader of the NDP.

00:55:12.040 And like, what is he going to do afterwards?

00:55:14.040 Like this is a guy with no skills, right?

00:55:16.040 What he wants.

00:55:18.040 The only way he personally keeps his seat is if the liberals do better, right?

00:55:24.040 Like in Burnaby South, I think they, they've renamed it, um, his writing.

00:55:29.040 It's kind of like a three way race where he wins the liberals.

00:55:33.040 If the liberals are doing really, really badly, uh, you know, their vote goes to the conservatives

00:55:39.040 and, um, Jagmeet will lose.

00:55:42.040 If the liberals are doing better, Jagmeet won't lose.

00:55:45.040 Maybe a bunch of his caucus members will lose.

00:55:48.040 Maybe the NDP will get clobbered everywhere else, but he'll keep his seat.

00:55:52.040 And, and again, right?

00:55:53.040 Like you, that's what you have to expect that he's going to do.

00:55:58.040 Um, and that is just really, really, really, really bad for Canada and for Canadians.

00:56:07.040 And, um, I don't know, like the absolute worst thing that anybody could possibly do right now.

00:56:14.040 I mean, it's a coup.

00:56:16.040 And, and the fact that, you know, no, you say no one in the NDP is preparing for an election.

00:56:21.040 That's a tell.

00:56:22.040 I don't know that we're going to have an election in the next few months as we, so many of us believe.

00:56:27.040 We might not even have one in 2025.

00:56:29.040 It's so unbelievable.

00:56:30.040 I can't even begin to imagine what that will do to our country and our democracy and our faith in our institutions.

00:56:37.040 Uh, Julian, kind of a sad note to be ending the interview on.

00:56:41.040 Um, but I do appreciate your insight.

00:56:43.040 It's nice to have a, um, sane person on the left.

00:56:46.040 Who's willing to speak the truth and come on the show.

00:56:49.040 So we'll definitely have to have you back.

00:56:51.040 Thank you so much for joining us.
