Western Standard - Fox News host Tucker Carlson mocked NDP MP Matthew Green who introduced a motion to denounce him.

We don't like dictatorships, we liberate dictatorships. That's what we do. We ask the obvious question, why don't we liberate Canada from Justin Trudeau? Here's that conversation: why should we stand back and let our biggest trading partner, the country with which we share the longest border, and actually a great country?

00:00:00.000 We're talking to our friend David Azarad recently for an interview on Fox Nation and the topic of

00:00:04.680 Canada came up. David Azarad was born and raised in Montreal, but like a lot of ambitious and

00:00:09.740 freedom-loving people, he fled later to the United States. And because all the people who

00:00:15.480 care about their own rights have left, Canada under Justin Trudeau has become effectively a

00:00:20.000 dictatorship. And we don't like dictatorships, we're America. We liberate dictatorships. That's

00:00:25.780 what we do. So we ask the obvious question, why don't we just liberate Canada? Here's that

00:00:32.220 conversation. Why should we stand back and let our biggest trading partner, the country with which

00:00:37.940 we share the longest border, and actually, I could just say a great country. I love Canada. I've always

00:00:42.240 loved Canada because of its natural beauty. Why should we let it become Cuba? Like, why don't we 1.00

00:00:47.040 liberate it? We're spending all this money to liberate Ukraine from the Russians. Why are we 1.00

00:00:51.000 not sending an armed force north to liberate Canada from Trudeau? And I mean it. Well, I don't know.

00:00:55.480 But then you don't have to answer that. I don't know that I'm there yet with you.

00:01:00.680 I'm just talking myself into a frenzy here. It's a fair question. And honestly,

00:01:05.980 we thought the Canadians would be flattered because they're always flattered when you talk 1.00

00:01:10.700 about them. They're like stalkers. You don't know they exist, but they've got pictures of you 0.94

00:01:14.180 in their dorm room. So if you do a Canada joke on TV, they go absolutely crazy.

00:01:20.260 They don't really know how to handle it or what it means, but it doesn't matter. They're excited.

00:01:24.700 And that's true even in the Canadian Parliament. Apparently, there's so little going on in Canada,

00:01:31.420 like civil liberties, that if you tell a joke about Canada, they go bonkers. Watch this Canadian 0.63

00:01:36.780 quote, member of Parliament, trying to get some kind of resolution passed condemning this show.

00:01:43.800 Mr. Speaker, after consultation with the parties in the House, if you seek it,

00:01:48.000 I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following motion,

00:01:52.140 that given the rise of far-right and associated violent extremism led to the attempted insurrection

00:01:58.060 in the United States, the House condemns recent comments made by Fox News personality,

00:02:03.720 Tucker Carlson, in which he suggests U.S. Armed Forces liberate Canada from the current prime minister.

00:02:13.320 All those opposed to the honorable member moving the motion will please say nay.

00:02:19.000 I'm afraid we don't have unanimous consent.

00:02:25.540 By the way, it failed, and we don't want to be too picky or anything, but we did not suggest the

00:02:30.960 armed forces liberate Canada. You're flattering yourself, Canadian member of Parliament.

00:02:36.160 We wouldn't need the armed forces. A couple of your college roommates just run up the sled dogs 0.97

00:02:41.520 and you wouldn't be able to move. We're not actually going to do it just yet.

00:02:46.020 There's something to think about. Settle down.
