In this week's show, we discuss the snowfall in Victoria, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's plans to move back to England, and the fallout from the paparazzi scandal involving Prince William and Kate Middleton.
00:00:00.000you're listening to the pipeline the Western standards weekly national
00:00:13.380affairs program recording this Wednesday January 15th 2020 featuring from Calgary
00:00:19.500the Western standards publisher Derek Fildebrandt welcome Derek and coming
00:00:24.840also from Calgary Dave Naylor the news editor for the Western standard welcome
00:00:29.040Dave good to be with you Paul and I'm Paul Holmes coming to you live from
00:00:34.800Victoria British Columbia where there is about a foot of snow on the ground and so
00:00:40.040the entire island has shut down no one feels sorry for you this is all you're
00:00:45.560gonna get we're all in the army pardon me you need to call in the army to help
00:00:52.260not quite possibly yeah they did that in in in 96 did you live here in 96 Derek I
00:00:58.860can't remember now I lived there for one year and I was two thousand and eight
00:01:02.820nine oh there you go 96 what a what it what a crazy year it was they did call in
00:01:09.060the army actually to help we were under the snow for about three weeks and couldn't
00:01:16.860do anything but that was a long time ago and this is now he gets the gets the
00:01:21.900army is when we have 20 foot floods destroying the city coming from the
00:01:27.100mountains well it's a little embarrassing right because we are Canada Victoria is
00:01:32.340part of Canada the rest of Canada is just used to this but when it happens to
00:01:37.000Victoria it's always a surprise and we have like six trucks that you know clear
00:01:42.340the roads and they do an amazing job the workers work very hard but you can
00:01:46.300imagine there's not a lot of standby capacity so Victoria is mostly shut down
00:01:50.860today however we are not we are going to see do you think the snow is enough to
00:01:56.680make Harry and Megan move back to England what's a segue to our first topic of the
00:02:04.100week Harry and Megan moving moving to to Canada and we don't know exactly where yet
00:02:12.860we I don't even know are we firm that it is Canada because I know they had said
00:02:18.980North America it's definitely Canada the Queen in her statement this week I said
00:02:27.080the couple would be splitting their time between the United Kingdom and Canada so
00:02:32.420obviously your area seems to be the frontrunner at the moment the couple
00:02:37.480spent six weeks there over the holidays staying at the house of one of your
00:02:42.760billionaire friends Paul and seemed to have fallen in love with it and yesterday
00:02:49.960Megan was pictured catching a float plane out of Victoria Harbour to go visit a
00:02:55.120women's shelter in Vancouver so she's definitely there and Harry is supposed to
00:03:02.200be coming as soon as he gets a few things cleared up in England I think the other
00:03:08.080place they could move to is Toronto that's where Megan lived for a couple of
00:03:12.580years filming the television show Suits she's got a lot of friends there
00:03:18.260including her best friend Jessica Mulroney it was apparently helping looking
00:03:23.920after a little Archie well things calm down hmm I want to discuss places with royal
00:03:31.060names that they might go to Victoria's obviously got a royal Windsor connotation
00:03:36.940to it but there's a few others as well the Prince George yeah I well you know if so
00:03:41.700Canadian taxpayers are gonna be picking up the security bill for them I think
00:03:45.500maybe we should get to decide where they go so that we could send them to
00:03:47.920Windsor I mean that's the house of Windsor in Windsor Regina you know we can send
00:03:56.180them to Regina what else we got Empress Alberta anyone know where Empress is no
00:04:02.960is it near Vulcan is it near Vulcan Alberta because it's Southeast Alberta
00:04:07.280that's my favorite place I don't know about you guys can you do it absolutely
00:04:14.060okay I should have figured Empress is a little Hamlet it's not even I don't think
00:04:19.280it's a proper village it's a little Hamlet right where the the red deer and South Saskatchewan
00:04:27.620rivers combine right on the Saskatchewan border and my my mother-in-law's family is actually
00:04:35.480from there and it's I think it's population eight or something now do we obviously there's
00:04:44.180been a lot of hubbub we we know that Harry had the the experience with his mother being hounded by
00:04:53.120the media and then of course the tragic end for Princess Diana and obviously he doesn't want to
00:05:01.420see a repeat of that with his with his current wife the the the tabloid media in the UK is is
00:05:07.460renowned for its aggressiveness when it comes to celebrity culture and the like and particularly with
00:05:13.980royals and that doesn't seem to have changed is there more to the story than just getting out
00:05:19.080well I think Harry Harry had some concern that he was quote being edited out of the royal family if
00:05:30.540you notice on the Queen's Christmas address there was no picture of him or Megan on her desk certainly
00:05:38.020the paparazzi can make life a living hell they're already in Victoria there was a case of one boat
00:05:46.000operator who when they when he found out they were paparazzi refused to charter a boat to them they
00:05:52.260wanted to get a picture from the ocean of where the couple were saying but you know there's a lot of
00:05:59.680anger in England towards Megan she's being blamed for dragging Harry away from the family she's being
00:06:11.200blamed as being responsible for causing a rift between him and William a story that the two
00:06:17.380brothers have denied and interestingly there's a court case coming up with one of the British tabloids
00:06:22.960being accused of invading their privacy and Megan's dad will actually be testifying on behalf of the
00:06:29.980newspaper Megan has cut off all contact with her dad so she's got kind of a background in this Paul
00:06:37.340hmm you know she's accused of being the Yoko Ono of the royal family I'm not sure if that's fair
00:06:45.460there's two sides to it as there is with anything but yeah the Britain the tabloid press can be
00:06:54.580absolutely brutal anyone who's ever been in this really in the public spotlight knows that the media
00:07:00.700in Britain or in Canada have no shame I I've had CBC trucks parked outside of my own home trying to film
00:07:06.880my kids and and they could be disgusting and that's as just for lowly me I could just imagine you know
00:07:12.860multiplying that by a thousand times or more when you when you're a royal the the British tabloid press
00:07:18.320just can't get enough and I wouldn't be surprised if the Canadian Canadian equivalents here couldn't
00:07:25.360help themselves in doing likewise I mean it's it's just juicy stuff those of us in the media business
00:07:30.620know that we're we're driven by advertising and by clicks and you need people to read stuff and view
00:07:36.020stuff and people can't get enough of it so even if it's not particularly nice or or even ethical I
00:07:42.200think a lot of the media are going to be driven to do this and you know I wouldn't be surprised if
00:07:46.960they put a permanent offshore platform in front of whatever ocean front front spot they've got just
00:07:53.600so they can film them all day long these guys are relentless but at the same time I mean there's not
00:07:58.440a lot of sympathy for a guy in his late 30s promising now to move out of grandma's house and stop taking
00:08:04.880an allowance so you know there there's a there is a argument to be made that this is just being
00:08:11.060spoiled uh I I can't confirm myself but I've I've read in the British press that forgoing the direct
00:08:18.820royal allowance will only cut his income by about five percent and they're still going to continue to
00:08:24.140hold the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex which comes with considerable income so they're not
00:08:30.840they're not uh exactly uh moving to Tibet and taking on a Hasidic lifestyle here I think they're
00:08:37.060going to still continue to draw pretty significant uh incomes from the families of states and their
00:08:42.300titles in Sussex so there there is some fair criticisms to be made but at the same time I mean
00:08:48.000the royal succession is safe um you know if the queen ever dies uh we will have Charles probably for
00:08:55.140about a week as king and we've got William and then uh I think three children after that all eligible to
00:09:01.340succeed so the the royal succession is very safe I don't think we have to worry about any kind of war
00:09:06.680of the roses here uh so Harry Harry really doesn't have that much to do at this point so I don't blame
00:09:13.000him for wanting to get away but the uh one thing he did do Derek was piss off the queen royally uh he did
00:09:22.100not tell her that he was going to do this and apparently the queen only found out about it
00:09:27.140looking at the news on her ipad and interestingly when she issued her statement she referred to the
00:09:33.140couple as Harry and Megan she did not refer to them as their their with their royal titles the Duke
00:09:39.780and Duchess so that has led to speculation that they may be of their title uh his father Prince Charles
00:09:47.060has also said no more money from me he reportedly has given them five million pounds uh and coming
00:09:54.660here is not going to be cheap for them there's the big uh controversy now in Canada is obviously who's
00:09:59.860picking up the security costs and I did a story in the western standard yesterday uh talking to a uh
00:10:07.220top british or sorry top american audi guard experts who said it could cost five million dollars a year
00:10:13.060uh to guard this couple around the clock and uh a new poll out today Angus Reid says only three Canadian
00:10:21.620three percent of Canadians are willing to do that uh so it's going to be a tough sell for them in terms
00:10:26.900of costs well the area that they may move into um if they in fact stay with our billionaire friend is
00:10:35.860called north Saanich and there is a first nation across the water from there that um they could set up
00:10:41.860some great viewing sites um and uh that's the same first nation that wants to build the LNG port so
00:10:49.140you know they can have an LNG port in their front water and um and people can go and see them from
00:10:54.740uh from the port so alternatively uh you know the security cost could just be a wash if we get rid of
00:11:00.420the governor general and just establish Harry and Meghan as our own royal line I think that's reasonable yeah
00:11:05.860I'm you know I'd be I'd be willing as a taxpayer to build them a castle in Windsor or north Saanich
00:11:12.100or Sanich I'm I mean hey why not we or Regina we have we actually have a castle already in Victoria
00:11:18.980at least we call it a castle so you know is it not the one where they filmed x-men that's uh well
00:11:24.580actually so two castles pardon me there's that there there is the one where they filmed x-men
00:11:29.140which is now a university royal roads university uh but there's also the um uh gosh the other one
00:11:36.420Craig Derrick castle I don't know if you remember that but I do barely a castle but it qualifies so
00:11:43.780so we have a castle we need we just need our king and queen and uh we have uh either Canada or western
00:11:50.980Canada's uh monarch depending on how uh how um wexit goes right the kingdom of wild rose country we could
00:11:58.980just have our own royal line perfect perfect done all right um i'll call i'll call them up next week
00:12:05.140and pitch it all right paul don't forget uh several british newspapers have reported that uh
00:12:13.940our prime minister here or justin trudeau has already promised the queen that we'll pick up our
00:12:19.060share of the costs so trudeau publicly has said still under negotiation but uh it looks like we'll be
00:12:26.900picking up some of the uh several millions anyways perfect let's do it i'm excited you know i'm i've
00:12:33.620been a republican for a long time um but this move will cause me to become a monarchist i feel
00:12:40.580i'm feeling it now it's happening so and you know the royal picture that i would really like to see
00:12:46.180is the queen holding an ipad that's uh that's the one we can get that one uh you know she tweets and
00:12:55.860has an ipad and uh whatnot so not too bad for 93. it's amazing yeah she has definitely uh quite a
00:13:03.860life of accomplishment all right uh on to the tory leadership race uh but i guess before we talk
00:13:09.940about the tory leadership race um a a tory of note stephen harper was um in the news this week uh with
00:13:20.660commentary around iran uh dave what what was the uh what was the story about there well harper was
00:13:27.620speaking at a global conference in new delhi india and uh the subject of iran came up and he says uh
00:13:36.100uh you know the only thing that could come out of the air disaster is that iran will sort of change
00:13:42.100its ways and uh stop being a a rogue nation and he says that's the only way for peace in the middle
00:13:51.380east to come about uh is through the iranians changing their their mindset now is did he specifically
00:13:59.460say regime change or or did he leave the door open to there being internal reform
00:14:06.260it looks like he left the door open to internal reform uh you know change in regime could mean
00:14:12.100change in their thinking uh you know how they'll treat israel uh that sort of stuff well i guess i guess
00:14:19.540with having the um the investigation open i know they invited boeing and canada uh to come as part of
00:14:28.420the investigation i don't know i don't know exactly what that means or how um involved those people
00:14:34.900those people will be but uh you know those are the type of bridges i guess if we're gonna if anything
00:14:40.980good is gonna come out of this disaster um maybe maybe that is maybe that could be the silver lining
00:14:46.500i don't know what do you think there well i think stephen harper is right that it'll take regime change
00:14:53.860for them to become a rational partner in the region and not uh engaging in endless proxy wars funding
00:15:02.340shiite militias and terrorist organizations in the arabian peninsula in lebanon around the entire
00:15:08.980region but i hope that that's just a theoretical comment and not a uh sort of laying the groundwork
00:15:17.140for an international movement for for war here the iranian government is one of the most repugnant
00:15:23.140regimes on the planet today and i don't think they will stop short of regime change and for me
00:15:28.660regime change i don't think can come within they uh under their islamic republic system of government
00:15:35.620there are some pre-approved candidates um and they have got the the more hardliner ones and the
00:15:40.500performer ones but you know we all get uh so you know the craziest in recent memory was mahmoud abraminejad
00:15:48.580and you know he was as crazy as they come was talking about how he loved the apocalypse and fiery
00:15:55.060you know hellfire and all these things and the 13th imam um so we say oh well what about these
00:16:01.460reformers well remember the reformers are still approved candidates of the ayatollah regime
00:16:06.500everything is still subject to the supreme leader who was not elected and so even their reformers these
00:16:11.700are not what we would consider western reform-minded liberals look liberal in the classical not political
00:16:17.860sense um their reformers are still dinosaur theocrats uh so i don't think uh reform is likely to come
00:16:27.940internally it would require one of two things um a war to change the regime or more hopefully a revolution
00:16:36.660and there is a significant uh western facing liberal um middle class in iran that has little time for this
00:16:45.540regime um the prospect of revolution is is real but as we're seeing today uh i think it's actually
00:16:53.460harder to overthrow dictatorships today than it was when the soviet union fell because uh you know in the
00:17:00.740technological surveillance state uh we've all we've put the cia into our living rooms and we call it uh
00:17:07.380siri or uh or whatnot like we we have made ourselves so open to surveillance from the state
00:17:13.220and we shouldn't kid ourselves into thinking that it's actually not at least almost as strong in western
00:17:19.220countries like we like we are living in than it is there well we know easily monitored and and
00:17:26.100and any kind of protest or uprising can be easily easily quashed um so my hope is i you know i would
00:17:33.300hope that someday perhaps we'll see a revolution overthrow the the ayatollah regime um but i but i would caution
00:17:41.700um we're between um we're between a rock and a hard place they they are going to continue to support
00:17:46.340terrorism and insurgent militias across the entire region and be a global threat um but i still don't
00:17:53.460think we're at the point where war is uh is the answer to change their regime i think we should uh
00:17:59.460instead uh fund black operations if we're not already to a significant degree oh you you know you know
00:18:05.860that the us is doing all of that yes but but but to what extent we never know these things we don't
00:18:11.620know it before and we won't know it after but i think much more palatable than um than sending our
00:18:17.060troops in and getting engaged in another protracted forever war is supporting covert operations and
00:18:23.140the hope that someday the people of iran might overthrow the government themselves
00:18:27.780there was a shocking incident today uh in my opinion derek and paul in which a top iranian cabinet
00:18:34.980minister whose name i'm not going to try and pronounce admitted publicly at a press conference
00:18:40.180that there was protests in the street and that the reasons that there was protesters in the street
00:18:46.020is because they were lied to uh you know after the downing of the the plane the government said there
00:18:52.340was no possible way it could have been a missile and they admitted that they lied uh they've never done
00:18:58.580that before uh they may see some of the writing on the ball in terms of a revolution but keep in mind
00:19:04.500this is the government that shot dead 1500 of their uh their citizens who were protesting just a couple
00:19:09.940of weeks ago so may take a while all right well iran um there's no good segue from iran to the
00:19:20.020conservative leadership race so let's talk about that um obviously the rules have been published for a
00:19:25.540while and uh pardon me well they both bombed ah oh hey isn't peter mckay's wife iranian ah yeah there
00:19:36.820you go persian chicago should go by most iranians in canada go by persian and uh i i think that's
00:19:43.860because they don't want to be associated with the regime uh peter has become the first prominent uh
00:19:48.900tori to announce that he's running uh he tweeted out wednesday afternoon only four words he said
00:19:55.380i'm in stay tuned uh so that said uh tori's uh tweeting uh away across the country he's expected
00:20:04.340to have a more formal press conference in his native nova scotia next week uh but uh you know the first
00:20:10.980horse is out of the gate and away we go well in in the u.s we had um you know the uh bernie sanders
00:20:19.060apparently commenting that um that america couldn't uh elect a woman um not sure not sure
00:20:26.260what's behind that but lots so they couldn't elect that woman lots of democrat infighting which is
00:20:32.740very entertaining uh in canada um when the conservatives pick their leader is there some
00:20:38.180criteria that's just going to be unelectable can we can we elect somebody else from the west could be a
00:20:43.540could we elect a woman could we elect a person of color is there is there some criteria that's
00:20:49.540excluded um you know when it comes to canadian elections as well of course the big the big
00:20:54.660question is uh could could a social conservative be elected in canada any thoughts well i think that
00:21:04.500i've mentioned this before i don't i think there's going to be a huge handicap against another western
00:21:09.860leader of uh the federal conservative party um i mean especially from outside the west the view is
00:21:15.620that they've almost always had western leaders going back to preston manning preston manning stock
00:21:20.180wellday stephen harper and um yeah what was his name uh andrew shear and um you know as little as
00:21:30.020andrew shear campaign on actually doing for the west besides not increasing the level to which it
00:21:34.820screwed uh people in the east very much viewed him as uh as a westerner and uh you know representing a
00:21:40.820saskatchewan seat so uh i i think there's gonna be tremendous pressure to elect someone from outside
00:21:47.060the west uh you know uh i think you're probably about to mention rona ambrose has said she is not
00:21:53.060running now she said it many times but she seems to have really really said at this time rona watch
00:21:57.700appears to be over um because there's such a short window to follow your papers to run here
00:22:02.980so rona's out um i'm not sure has um michelle rempel definitively ruled out running no no so that
00:22:12.900would leave uh unless i'm missing something that leaves michelle rempel is the only um potential
00:22:19.220major western candidate to run um and she'll be interesting to watch young aggressive uh people
00:22:26.260can't make up her minds about her she's she's hard to pin down some people say she's a red tory some say
00:22:31.300she's a libertarian gun nut uh she kind of gets it from a couple of different angles um which she
00:22:39.780would be uh she'll be an interesting force to watch and it'll be interesting to see if westerners are
00:22:43.860going to demand a western candidate or if the party is going to say you know what we've we've had our
00:22:48.660turn and uh it's time to let the the east lead i do think that michelle rempel's style is uh
00:22:57.140admirable she seems to be a pretty you know no nonsense you know i don't mind making mistakes and
00:23:04.180you know a lot of those sorts of things we don't see with politicians uh you know that drive people
00:23:09.140crazy where it's just like you know this polished um you know view of of a politician i don't i don't
00:23:17.220feel like she really has that where uh i think um peter mckay probably more so i remember the whole
00:23:23.860scripted farm thing after his breakup with uh um uh what was her name belinda belinda and uh he's there
00:23:33.380in his boots and you know he's obviously shaved and you know brushed his hair and but he's there on the
00:23:39.940farm it was sort of i don't know if you guys are dog i yeah i don't know if you guys remember that yeah
00:23:45.780it was uh and it was a dog it was a touching moment but you know you kind of it was hard to look at it and
00:23:51.620not realize that it was probably uh pretty scripted um and you know that's apart from the course on
00:23:58.660policy it's not a criticism but uh but uh i wonder if uh if style will will play a role in this race
00:24:05.780uh and have we scraped the bottom is there is there anybody else any other big uh names there's another
00:24:10.420two there's another two big ones that we've left out pierre polliver and uh jean shere
00:24:15.140um so uh uh interestingly today mcclein's had a uh an exclusive on the fact that stephen harper
00:24:22.820has stepped aside from the conservative fund
00:24:27.220people are saying it's because he's going to do all he can do to stop shere
00:24:31.940the members of the conservative fund are not allowed to take part in the campaign
00:24:37.300for the leadership so significant you've got Harp obviously still carries a lot of cachet in the
00:24:45.520party and he is going to fight to stop Sheree that's a big blow for Sheree and the fact that
00:24:52.600he came out last week that he was doing some work for the hooah is also going to hurt all
00:24:59.860way there's a lot of people who are moving to try and convince her to run for mayor of Calgary we're
00:25:12.280finally getting rid of Nancy at the end of this term so that could be a thing that keeps her out
00:25:18.760of the the Tory leadership race less travel for sure it'll be interesting to see if Harper it's
00:25:26.440very rare for a former leader to take a direct role in the select in an internal party race like
00:25:34.300this I mean in Canada and in the United States former presidents and former prime ministers
00:25:38.620generally don't get involved in their leadership races even George Bush stayed out of the last the
00:25:44.80025th 2015 I think 2015 or 2016 Republican primary even though Trump ran very strongly against the Bush
00:25:52.000legacy Bush stayed out of it to be very strange for Stephen Harper to get in that being said John
00:25:58.780Sheree is unlike all of the other candidates in that he is a material threat to the unification to the
00:26:05.860very underlying unity of the federal conservative party he is in addition to being a former progressive
00:26:13.720conservative of a very moderate left-leaning bent he is a Quebec nationalist he was a liberal premier he I can
00:26:28.060tell you every Western independence activists are praying the John Sheree becomes the leader of the
00:26:36.340Conservative Party of Canada because it would no longer be viewed by many in the West as the home team
00:26:42.820anymore it'd be a return to being a Laurentian dominated party as it was under Brian Mulroney
00:26:48.640and whatever little traction the reform movement still might have in the federal conservative party
00:26:55.300it would be the final and official end of it and provide a real opening I think for for an insurgent
00:27:02.260party on the right in the West so I think well would be very unusual for a former prime minister and
00:27:08.480statesman like Harper to get involved he he might see it as a as a real material threat to to his creation the
00:27:15.480Conservative Party of Canada well there's his legacy but I think Harper is also a pragmatic you know can pro Canada
00:27:24.300you know guy right and he's I think if he sees a threat to the existence of the Conservative Party which you know could be and has been a playing a role in unifying the country
00:27:38.300then he's you know he's just a he's just gonna want to step in right I I don't know that that's a good decision for for you know from a political perspective but but I do think his motivation is probably pretty sincere
00:27:54.300I think right now we're Paul we're looking at a two-person race between McKay and and Pierre from what I understand and correct me if I'm wrong but McKay's French isn't all that good and I don't know if you still need to be bilingual to to become Prime Minister in this country certainly central Canadian media says so but you know could
00:28:22.300could McKay get by with the limited amount he knows I don't know maybe he's been doing duolingo every day we don't know in my in my crowds here in in Calgary I could tell you a peer
00:28:36.700polliver is surprisingly strong especially among the old wild rose and reform crowd he might he might be an Ontario MP but he actually originally hails from Calgary and I think he he comes into the race with credibility is probably the
00:28:50.300small c conservative standard bearer if you can expand that to include libertarians who supported Maxime Bernier they'll be very strong and and being and not having a French accent will probably help them out Bernier was the first francophone to win Alberta in a major race since Sir Wilfrid Laurier that's before we even had radios and elections so Pierre
00:29:14.300Pierre Polliver would have an easier time in Western Canada than Bernier did simply by not being a francophone and having an accent but he is going to be surprisingly strong here in in Western Canada and I wouldn't have said so a year ago I like him he he is he's cutting and witty I think he'd actually be a pretty good leader but I didn't I know I've known him for a very long time when he was a very young nickname Skippy and
00:29:44.240so perhaps that's colored how others would see him from my view but I I think he's a real dark horse here I think he's going to be a force to be reckoned with and actually have a I'd say today I think he's got a much better chance than I would have thought so just just a few weeks ago
00:29:59.240I think he projects a very good image Derek when you see him in question period he's like a little pit bull he's he's he's strong he's articulate and I think you're right I think people out west support him more than other people would think
00:30:15.580and unlike Andrew Scheer when he says something you actually get the feeling he believes in what he's saying that it's not just written by some kid in short some fart catcher around Parliament Hill scripting every move he actually has some conviction in his voice which is something that I don't think much of the field is going to have
00:30:34.580Well that and that's the you know that's the authenticity that you know is so lacking I mean when you look at our Prime Minister I can't think of a politician who comes across more inauthentic than than our Prime Minister today
00:30:47.580you know Michelle Rempel comes across authentic I feel like and I pronounce his name by the way Pierre Polyev have I been pronouncing it wrong forever I have heard it pronounced multiple ways and I've never heard him correct it so
00:31:06.740I mean it's probably a Rorschach test if he's going to be a Prime Minister one day we should probably figure out how to pronounce his name properly right
00:31:15.960and yeah and so we'll see how much authenticity plays is he the is he the politician that you want to go for a beer with and I think probably is it certainly want to go for a beer right now he's Pepe
