00:00:00.000 To this country's friends all around the world, many of you have worried that Canada has lost its compassionate and constructive voice in the world over the past 10 years.
00:00:18.480 Well, I have a simple message for you. On behalf of 35 million Canadians, we're back.
00:00:25.620 Thank you.
00:00:55.620 Canada secured the lowest number of votes for its bid for one of the three revolving seats on the Council.
00:01:02.260 Canada secured only 108 votes compared to Ireland's 128 votes and Norway's 130 votes.
00:01:10.880 This is devastating for Justin Trudeau.
00:01:14.200 After all, he made securing that United Nations Security Council seat a priority.
00:01:20.000 He coveted the seat. He was obsessed with winning it.
00:01:23.180 And he bet his entire reputation on obtaining it.
00:01:27.300 But Justin Trudeau failed.
00:01:29.140 In fact, he failed far worse than Stephen Harper and the Conservatives did back in 2010.
00:01:34.440 The Harper government purposefully refrained from whining and dining corrupt bureaucrats in order to get this useless seat. 1.00
00:01:44.020 Back then, Canada got 114 votes on the first ballot, and it took two rounds of voting for Canada to lose under Harper.
00:01:51.220 This time around, under Justin Trudeau, Canada lost on the very first ballot.
00:01:55.620 According to federal documents released in 2011, the Harper government spent under $1 million on this bid.
00:02:03.420 Of course, the mainstream media painted it like it was a scandal that Harper spent that much and was still unsuccessful.
00:02:09.580 This time around, Trudeau spent significantly more.
00:02:12.580 According to a CBC report from April 2019, Trudeau had already spent $1.5 million on this vanity bid.
00:02:22.360 My estimation is that he's probably doubled that in the last 14 months.
00:02:26.500 But we don't know for sure because his government refuses to tell us how much taxpayer money was spent.
00:02:32.160 Now, don't get me wrong.
00:02:33.560 Both governments wasted Canada's money in pursuing a seat on a toothless and corrupt council.
00:02:39.380 The UN Security Council is a complete farce.
00:02:42.580 Remember, both Russia and China have a veto power over any and all decisions.
00:02:48.520 Last time around, the media made a huge deal about Stephen Harper losing the Security Council seat.
00:02:54.860 The Globe and Mail called it humiliating and a great embarrassment for Harper.
00:02:59.200 But this time around, not surprisingly, Trudeau's friends in the media are downplaying this complete failure of what was supposed to be Trudeau's signature achievement.
00:03:10.000 The truth is this.
00:03:12.340 No one takes Justin Trudeau seriously.
00:03:15.300 And because he's our Prime Minister, no one takes Canada seriously either.
00:03:19.400 It's no wonder Trudeau lost the UN Security Council seat.
00:03:23.400 The list of embarrassing gaffes Trudeau has made on the world stage is never ending.
00:03:27.720 He danced in ethnic costumes for photo ops in India and was snubbed by the Indian government.
00:03:34.560 He invited a convicted terrorist to a state dinner.
00:03:38.360 He was directly involved in the SNC-Lavalin scandal where he tried to change Canadian law for his friends and he violated Canada's ethics laws.
00:03:47.280 He dressed up in blackface, a despicable and truly racist trope, and he did it multiple times.
00:03:54.560 He missed important meetings on trade deals, and according to Australia's former Prime Minister, he was flaky and humiliated other world leaders.
00:04:02.820 He was caught on a hot mic bashing President Trump, acting like a petty, immature, mean girl, not a statesman or a great leader.
00:04:11.220 He pandered to the murderous Iranian regime, insulting Canadians, Iranian dissidents, and our closest allies.
00:04:18.760 And he shamelessly virtue signals at every opportunity.
00:04:23.620 It's clear world leaders don't take Justin Trudeau seriously.
00:04:28.660 Canada is back, my good friends.
00:04:32.900 We're here to help.
00:04:35.300 Canada isn't back.
00:04:37.160 Under Trudeau's watch, Canada is irrelevant.
00:04:39.980 For True North, I'm Candice Malcolm.
