Randy Boissoneau is the sole Liberal MP for the riding of Edmonton-Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He has a 50% stake in a fraudulent PPE company that he was a partner in at the same time as being an elected MP and minister.
00:00:09.960Isn't it great that the media destroyed Stephen Harper's conservative government over Mike Duffy having his debts paid off by other conservative politicians?
00:00:33.340Yet that was the biggest scandal in 2015.
00:00:37.440And since Justin Trudeau took office in the latter half of 2015, what have we had?
00:00:42.640Well, you know, just scandals in the realms of literally hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions, when you add all the price tags together.
00:00:52.440You know, We Charity, S&C Evelyn, Ajakon Island, Trudeau's Jamaica Trips.
00:00:58.920We have tons of other sole source contract issues.
00:01:01.840And now we have Randy Boissoneau, who is this very arrogant Liberal MP, the sole Liberal in the city of Edmonton, who has been actively just working in a fraudulent PPE company that he's a 50% stakeholder in, at the same time that he was an elected Liberal MP and minister.
00:01:23.780But first, before we get into kind of what this scandal is all about, I've given you some indications so far.
00:01:32.900A video that he posted trying to mock Conservative MP Leanna Rood for going after Tim Hortons for getting rid of their plastic lids and replacing them with these disgusting paper lids that completely melt as soon as coffee touches them.
00:01:46.440He posted this incredibly cringe video of him making out with a donut at a Tim Hortons location.
00:01:51.820Yeah, these are our Liberal MPs, very, very serious people.
00:02:07.960And to show you how serious they are, they have a dedication to not commit any corruption.
00:02:13.360And so we're going to dive right into that and see Randy Boissoneau completely fumble all over himself, trying to justify his ownership stake of this company that was effectively meant to just fraudulently exploit the very loose standards on who the government would give money for, for acquiring PPE.
00:02:34.280All these were like middlemen organizations, they were effectively ordering from Alibaba and taking like quadruple the amounts of their costs in money back from the government.
00:02:45.440But I want to jump over to Michael Cooper, the Conservative MP also out of the city of Edmonton.
00:02:50.800And I forget what exactly his writing is, but he's been doing a good job covering this issue.
00:02:55.280And I just wanted to jump into his questioning of Randy because there's been this very funny thing going on with the scandal involving Randy where he claims, because there was this long text chat where one of the people running the company, I think it was, I forget what the company's name is.
00:03:12.180I'm going to quickly check right here.
00:03:13.320Yeah, it was like global health import, some generic name.
00:03:16.600His business partner was texting with somebody from another organization in China that they were buying PPE from.
00:03:23.300And this is in 2022 after Boissoneau was an MP.
00:03:27.580He was previously an MP for between 2015 and 2019, but he was reelected after losing in 2019 again in 21.
00:03:34.920But he was still cutting deals in 2022.
00:03:37.880And in these text logs, his business partner is referencing, well, I'll have to ask Randy.
00:05:06.800There's only a handful of people there, and you presently have a 50% stake in GHI, and you mean to tell me, but you have no idea out of a handful of people, if not you, who the other Randy is.
00:05:22.040I have had no operational involvement in this company since I was elected.
00:05:25.880The company has hired and probably let go of people.
00:05:28.840Well, you can claim that, but the problem is we have evidence that his business partners are texting saying this other Randy is involved in approving business decisions.
00:05:39.000There's no other Randy that they can name that is on any payroll, because if they had another Randy, do you think that Randy Boissoneau would just be saying, I don't know who that is?
00:05:47.740Obviously, the man would have just come up with some receipt saying, oh, it was Randy Davison.
00:05:55.660They don't even have a fake Randy that they can slot in, and you can even just tell from his posture in these that he's just not comfortable with answering any of these questions.
00:06:04.940I don't like to judge people purely on body language alone, but when it's something that should be this easy to answer and you can't answer it and you look this uncomfortable, I'm going to say you might be corrupt.
00:06:20.360You might have done something wrong, but good thing that we got rid of Mike Duffy, guys.
00:06:26.020Good thing that Harper got his comeuppance because Mike Duffy was a bad guy.
00:06:30.140Good thing that we attacked conservatives for buying $20 glasses of orange juice.
00:06:35.060I know the conservative MP who was involved in that genuinely actually kind of was corrupt, but the scandal that made it break was like a $20 glass of orange juice.
00:06:44.060You know, if anything, I would still prefer that person have been the MP from Durham because they ended up getting replaced by Aaron O'Toole.
00:06:50.820Good thing that we also have Jamil Giovanni in that role in Durham.
00:06:54.600Jamil is actually, this is a very bit of a sidetrack I'm taking.
00:06:58.580I respect Jamil a lot right now as the MP for Durham because you end up getting a lot of MPs that if you're on the same team, as in you're a conservative, you could be a conservative MLA from BC and you will not criticize a conservative PC MLA from like Newfoundland.
00:07:20.440Jamil Giovanni is willing to go after Stephen Lecce, Doug Ford and other hacky non-conservative conservatives out in Ontario.
00:07:27.860They deserve it and he should be commended for actually doing that.
00:07:32.400That needs to become more normal that if somebody's not doing their jobs, you call it out and you don't get attacked and you don't get censored, you don't get canceled, you don't get DQ'd for having made basic points on someone's horrible record.
00:07:45.020But that's a subtle indication of stuff that's been going on in my life here.
00:07:48.360But I want to pull up another clip here just about Michael Cooper also bringing this up in Parliament and seeing the Liberals team trying to clean up for on Randy's behalf.
00:07:59.260It's not going very well for them, as you can probably tell so far.
00:08:03.060But, you know, the Liberals have to have this idea that they can't get rid of any other people at this point.
00:08:09.360They are so thin in terms of their minority government, they can't afford to say that, yeah, no, Randy's out.
00:08:15.120And think about all the people that they've gotten rid of, like Kevin Vong in the past, Ram Nish Sangha, other Liberal MPs who were actually decently honorable people.
00:08:25.400Like, I would never vote for the Liberals.
00:08:28.000Kevin Vong has easily shown himself as a very honorable man, as an independent MP.
00:08:32.900I hope that conservatives will invite him into caucus.
00:08:35.400Ram Nish Sangha was kicked out of the Liberal Party for calling out people who are Calistani terrorist supporters in caucus who identified themselves as Calistanis who were in the cabinet.
00:08:45.780He himself is a Sikh man, but he called out other extremists.
00:08:51.520You know, Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott, people who I disagree on policy, but they were honorable people.
00:08:56.840Liberals will not stand up by them, but they'll stand for Randy, who is just so obviously corrupt.
00:09:02.800This is like graft that you would see in like the 1930s in the United States, like teapot dome type stuff where the government was just selling contracts to its own people in order so that they could get millions of dollars to basically build bridges to nowhere.
00:09:17.040But here's Michael Cooper holding the Liberals' feet to the fire from Parliament.
00:09:52.040The Honorable Government House Leader.
00:09:58.680So of course they actually don't have Randy stand up and answer this because Randy has only done a job equivalent of pouring gasoline over himself.
00:10:08.760Mr. Speaker, of course, Canada has among the toughest, most stringent ethics and conflict of interest provisions in the world for public office holders.
00:10:19.540The minister in question appeared yesterday before committee.
00:10:24.060Here's what I'll say just quickly, not to cut him off too much.
00:10:26.320I know people sometimes don't like that.
00:10:27.640We actually do have tough, stringent standards.
00:10:29.440The problem is, and I had a conversation with someone about this today, it doesn't matter what the laws are, it doesn't matter what different regulations are in place to stop corruption or to stop violations of your freedoms.
00:10:41.300If they're not enforced, if the people in charge of enforcing themselves are corrupt, it doesn't matter how pure the rules are, they can slow walk it.
00:10:49.520We have justices on our courts who don't care about the law.
00:10:53.060They will read whatever wacky left-wing interpretation into the laws that they can find.
00:10:58.900And that's the problem, is that when these people, when morons like Steve McKinnon are in charge in government, not that he's in those roles, but people who Steve McKinnon would see as being highly ethical, well, obviously nothing's going to get done because the problem is the people, not the actual system.
00:11:16.420Systems only work when there are good people involved.
00:11:19.080For one hour and answered all of those questions.
00:11:22.160The honourable member for St. Albert Edmonton.
00:11:29.240Mr. Speaker, there is no trace of this Avirandi.
00:12:19.420But yeah, the government's falling apart right now.
00:12:21.720And this isn't the only scandal, as many of you guys may know.
00:12:24.540I'm not going to bring in any graphics for this because the current scandal is involving the lack of things to talk about.
00:12:30.740It's just that they haven't been revealed yet.
00:12:33.080That there are several MPs in our government who are tied with and work with, pass information to, are effectively moles for foreign regimes.
00:12:44.000For different, like, for places like China, places like India, Russia.
00:12:49.380You will have governments who have basically pawns in our government.
00:12:53.640Another country that's obvious is Iran.
00:12:56.060I'll just say which MP we obviously know is the stooge for Iran.
00:13:03.060Maja Jahari literally has Iranian parliamentarians go and stay at his house, go meet him at his house when they enter Canada.
00:13:10.640You'll know that Iran does not actually have, like, an embassy in Canada.
00:13:15.540They're banned from having an embassy in Canada because it is a terrorist government.
00:13:19.760And so, what do they do when they come to Canada?
00:13:22.520Well, they go and stay at good old sweet Maja Jahari's house, a man who always has the mildest things to say when people are being gunned down in the streets of Iran by the Islamist regime out there.
00:13:33.780So, yeah, we know some of the people who are obviously involved.
00:13:36.840Handong is obviously involved with the Chinese government.
00:13:39.560There's other people who are obviously involved in the global Kalistani movement, the Sikh separatist movement.
00:13:44.720There's other people who are involved in other organizations.
00:13:47.600I know there are people like, should I even name her?
00:14:01.460It was another lady from the Liberal Party who basically said boo-hoo too bad when the conservatives asked for these MPs to be unmasked and for them to be able to read the reports.
00:14:11.180That is, I'm not sure if anyone even has to be told, the height of arrogance and corruption.
00:14:17.480When people don't even care about the appearance of ethics, that is when the government has fallen over the side of contempt.
00:14:26.280The government is fully contemptible at this point.
00:14:40.520If anything, there's probably people inside the NDP who are also involved.
00:14:44.000There could be easily conservatives involved too.
00:14:46.440You know, corruption doesn't know any specific party label.
00:14:49.780And this is a problem, is that when people could be voting for somebody who is more concerned with the constituents of another country than their own actual constituents, that is obviously corruption.
00:15:02.320And maybe this is a good time to define corruption.
00:15:05.140Because I find oftentimes this is where the liberals get away with the idea that we're not corrupt.
00:15:11.020We haven't been involved in any corruption.
00:15:13.280Because they haven't had an MP or Justin Trudeau hasn't personally gone to the government treasury, opened the vault door, and stolen $50,000.
00:15:25.020Corruption is decisions in government, or at least this is my opinion of what corruption is.
00:15:29.180In governments and parties, corruption is you making decisions for any reason other than what motive, what you believe is morally right, what your constituents want, and your constituents on all levels.
00:15:41.340So if you're a local MP, it matters what your local members think, what national members think, what local constituents think, what provincial constituents think in terms of what those in your province want.
00:15:54.940If we're not even touching on what people in those areas care about, that's a problem.
00:16:00.780If you're the minister of agriculture, obviously farmers now become part of your constituent.
00:16:05.700That's a main constituent you are trying to serve.
00:16:07.800Even if you are technically serving farmers, if you start handing out subsidies, if it's hurting the rest of the country, and there's no justifiable reason to do it, that is a form of corruption.
00:16:26.560It's obviously the government doing something because they're trying to win a constituency of voters for illegitimate and immoral reasons.
00:16:33.280It's not because they genuinely think this program is the best thing for them, and it's also going to benefit the rest of the country, or at least the cost of it on the rest of taxpayers is outweighed by the amount of benefit that those individuals get.
00:16:45.340We are well past that in our government right now.
00:16:48.160Every decision the liberals make hurts Canadians for the benefit of a very small constituency, sometimes who don't even live in the country.
00:16:57.020You have MPs in the Liberal Party who openly stump for Pakistan, taking over all of Kashmir.
00:17:05.520Kashmir, which on the Pakistani side of the border, has had all of the Sikh and Hindu and Christian elements completely eliminated.
00:17:13.320The side that's still on the Indian border, there are Sikhs, there are Hindus, there are Muslims, everybody lives there.
00:17:20.400But if you go on to the Pakistan side, it's only Muslims.
00:17:22.900And there are MPs in the Liberal government who stump for Pakistan's right to take over the rest of that province.
00:17:30.520It's also no, like, so, that's insane.
00:17:33.760I don't know if I even have to highlight that too much more.
00:17:37.120That's ridiculous that there are people like that who are able to occupy seats of power.
00:17:41.740That's when somebody actually needs to come in and start making arrests.
00:17:45.100When somebody is taking marching orders from a government building that is not on our soil, or somebody who covers up crimes, or somebody who is taking money in order to stump for their position.
00:17:58.200This happens way more than people think in Canada.
00:18:01.320Canadian politics, like, mark my words, Canadian politics, people always see American politics as corrupt.
00:18:07.260Probably because there's a lot of drama, television, movies made around it.
00:18:11.920You know, we know about, you know, corrupt figures like Richard Nixon and people from the past who are just openly stealing money.
00:18:19.280You know, Bob Menendez, I believe, the senator from New Jersey, who's being indicted potentially for just flat out having gold bars of stolen government funds in his house.
00:18:30.740Like, he just is basically laundering money off the books that he has basically been taking through corrupt, like, graft deals.
00:18:40.200But in Canada, you, I think, per capita, pound for pound, Canadian politics is far more corrupt than American.
00:18:46.920In America, you actually have the right to run.
00:18:49.280In Canada, unless you're running just as an independent, you're not going to win.
00:18:52.540The parties have the right to just kick you out.
00:18:54.700And you could be literally running for the right reasons.
00:18:56.680Everybody liked you, but you weren't compliant enough, you weren't corrupt enough effectively in order to get involved because they thought you would blow the whistle on something.
00:19:24.600Americans have far less trust in public officials, so they demand more accountability.
00:19:29.200I think COVID proved that between at least the vast majority of U.S. states and Canada, that Canadians were way more willing to go along with stuff that was just obviously unethical, unconstitutional, immoral.
00:19:44.560Whereas in the U.S., there was far more pushback.
00:19:46.780There was far more people who lost their jobs for doing that.
00:19:49.260Whereas there's a lot of people in Canada who have effectively been rewarded through COVID, still allowed to run for office, never held to account by their parties or by voters, because people don't really like to get involved like that in Canada.
00:20:05.220Our politics is low-key, and that can sometimes be a problem.
00:20:09.600The places where people make the least amount of noise, you can get away with the most amount of corruption.
00:20:14.920The Soviet Union became more corrupt, the more compliant the Soviet, like the people, the Russian people and other people captured by the Soviet Union became.
00:20:23.120There was less corruption, actually, generally when all the chaotic killing was going on, because that was at a time when there was actual fights back and forth with people stealing money and doing stuff.
00:20:33.720It was usually once they had suppressed people into a docile state that they were then able to raid the piggy bank of the country.
00:20:42.580Anyways, that was a little bit of a mini rant, but I'm going to kind of move on to some other stuff I wanted to talk about.
00:20:49.200There are some other fun things going on this week when it came to Canadian politics, and we have been given a great little thing to talk about right here with Laurel Collins, the NDP MP, going on another rant about climate change because she didn't embarrass herself enough the first time.
00:21:07.720So here's her talking about how we need to, I don't know, give in to the UN on how we end up regulating our environment, because, of course, the NDP doesn't actually care about Canada.
00:21:18.420They care about what international bigwigs think about what Canada is doing.
00:21:22.880We've seen 12 straight months of record-breaking temperatures, more extreme wildfires, more extreme weather events.
00:21:32.160The Liberals have been asleep at the wheel, letting oil and gas CEOs pollute more and more each year, and the Conservatives can't even agree if climate change is real.
00:21:42.180The UN Secretary General is calling for a windfall tax on oil and gas profits to help fund climate action.
00:21:51.020But why are the Liberals letting big oil rip off Canadians and destroy our climate?
00:21:56.500Rip off Canadians, I'm sorry, but our standard of living, other than the fact that Trudeau has been taxing us to death, but in terms of the 21st century, our standard of living has gotten better with cheaper fuel.
00:22:08.900And the idea that the oil and gas companies are allowed to pollute more every year, can she define more?
00:22:14.740Because our actual per capita emissions have been falling over time.
00:22:20.620Extraction and refinement becomes more efficient.
00:22:22.700Really, she just like, in her video where she was crying about how climate change affects women, or whatever she was on about, it was embarrassing, that she just doesn't want any emissions at all, and is willing for effectively all oil to be banned.
00:22:37.440Windfall taxes, which is what the UN Secretary General Chair, or I don't care, is calling for, that was effectively trying to take any profits that the oil and gas companies are making.
00:22:49.300Any windfall profits mean like, oh, if they've profited any more than they did last year, we should be taxing all of that.
00:22:55.600That's insane, especially because companies expand over time.
00:23:00.500So that's also why revenues are up, because there's just generally more dollars floating around the economy, dollars that aren't worth as much as they used to be.
00:23:08.880So all of this is just commie nonsense.
00:23:11.800But I want to go back to the very start of that, just because of how hysterical that is, her trying to pretend also like any amount of extreme weather events, quote unquote, any year, that means more climate action is needed.
00:23:23.200We've seen 12 straight months of record-breaking temperatures, more extreme wildfires, more extreme weather.
00:23:32.160I challenge Laurel Collins to define extreme wildfires.
00:23:36.280Our wildfire season right now is actually pretty mild.
00:23:39.960Yeah, we had some fires that were actually from last year that were still burning.
00:23:43.940It's strange to say, but fires will burn underground and stay heated, and then they will continue after the winter.
00:23:50.680But we are not actually experiencing very many fires at all.
00:23:54.220If you look at Alberta, where all the fire hysteria was taking place, there's only, I think, one fire that, as of a few weeks ago, that was not in control.
00:24:08.620Are we going to live in a world, in her mind, if we tax carbon enough or we just defund oil, we ban oil, where there's no such thing as fires, no such thing as tornadoes, no such thing as extreme weather events?
00:24:19.800I'll note that in 1825, 1825, a little bit of a while ago, one-sixth of the entire landmass, not mass, but I guess land area, in New Brunswick burnt to the ground.
00:25:07.800And the idea that somehow turning off, not using your car is going to solve anything is wacky nonsense.
00:25:13.880The NDP just doesn't actually have any real issues to whine about.
00:25:17.780They're not willing to really call out Liberal Party corruption.
00:25:20.900They're not, they like high taxes, so they won't call out the tax regime in this country.
00:25:24.980They won't call out any of the crazy waste of money.
00:25:28.480They like the government spending more money.
00:25:29.920And so they've occupied themselves with abstract issues like climate change that they can then use to try and pretend that they really care about the real moral issues of the day when Laurel Collins is completely out to lunch.
00:25:42.880The last thing I want to talk about today, I think I can just bring this up on screen rather than having to share screen here, is something concerning out of the province of Alberta.
00:25:52.600I know a lot of people like Premier Daniel Smith, but this is a move that makes me have to criticize her.
00:25:59.020So we were supposed to be done with all the corrupt PC politicians, but for some reason, we now have former Premier Alison Redford appointed to the Alberta Corporate Board, the Invest Alberta Corporate Board.
00:26:20.420The amount of corruption and misuse of money under her PC government that she never even finished the term of, she was so bad.
00:26:27.620Why are we now rewarding her by putting her into place?
00:26:31.580I just got off the phone with somebody when I had heard this news yesterday, and I said that in Premier Daniel Smith's heart lies a barometer.
00:26:40.840That barometer goes back and forth between Premier Ralph Klein and Alison Redford.
00:26:47.040Daniel Smith wants to, in her heart, be like Ralph Klein.
00:26:51.140But around every corner, I found that she acts far more like Alison Redford than anyone probably wants to admit.
00:26:58.000And hopefully, because we're still in the first year of this government, they need to, or we just got past the first year of the government, they really need to just button down and act like Ralph Klein.
00:27:09.100They need to actually start cutting spending.
00:27:10.900Our budget is 20% higher right now in Alberta than any budget that Ralph, that, sorry, Jason Kenney passed.
00:27:17.360It's higher than Jason Kenney's budget.
00:27:46.680We have a surplus in our budget, yet we don't lower the gas tax.
00:27:50.660There's a lot of areas here where Ralph Klein would not really see this as a government in his own making.
00:27:55.660So this Alison Redford story is making me have to call out the fact that we need more politicians in Alberta.
00:28:04.080We need more MLAs in Smith's government to push her to actually do the things that people want her to do.
00:28:10.000I've heard that she actually might pull back on her parental rights promises, that they might water down the parental rights legislation so much and then, you know, peg it to international standards so that they'll basically be useless.
00:28:22.420I was at a fundraiser event with her last Friday where Premier Smith said that she's no longer going to be pursuing the Alberta pension plan.
00:28:31.560I wasn't that, like, jazzed about the Alberta pension plan.
00:28:34.240It's just not a policy I care about a lot.
00:28:36.120There's a lot of people who do care, and she's saying that she's not going to have a referendum vote on it anymore.
