Transcript
00:00:00.000
good day and welcome i'm derek phildebrand publisher of the western standard and you're
00:00:56.960
Less bloated today than sitting on the end, yes.
00:00:59.280
Very good. Well, I guess speaking of not kosher, we're introducing today for the first time on The Pipeline, although he's on your show earlier today, Corey, our new Western Standard Parliament Hill correspondent, William Barkley. Welcome, William.
00:01:21.300
Hey, thank you so much for having me on the show today. It's a pleasure to be here with you all. Happy to be here.
00:01:49.540
up about controversy, I don't think there's too much
00:02:23.720
unionized federal bureaucrats so you know you can go to your cup w union meeting uh sharing your
00:02:31.300
pronouns monday to friday and on the weekend you go out and they're going to put you in a green
00:02:35.940
jacket and hand you a gun and you can file a human rights complaint for having your uh dignity
00:02:41.120
i don't know uh but yeah they're going to make an army out of bureaucrats we're going to talk
00:02:45.060
about the crazy plan uh here to have 300 000 researchers like it's never ever gonna have it
00:02:52.380
just never gonna yeah and you know and we'll kind of get into some of the overall dilapidated state
00:02:56.880
of the military i had uh if i might toot my own horn a bit i think i had a very fun column over
00:03:03.400
the weekend uh spoiler we have two generals for every tank every tank we've got two generals in
00:03:11.700
canada uh one can drive one can man the gun we our command structure is that efficient in canada
00:03:37.980
so for me, you know, this was always a very big deal.
00:03:46.460
a day before or something, and then Remembrance Day,
00:03:48.300
I'd go out and do the parades and do the whole thing.
00:03:51.420
And in military towns, it was always a very big, very solemn thing.
00:03:59.820
And, you know, but there's been some controversy around this one.
00:04:04.760
Remembrance Day is normally not a particularly controversial day.
00:04:09.380
Some people have at times accused it of glorifying war.
00:04:14.440
It's about honoring the sacrifice of those who have served.
00:04:26.960
necessarily have unanimous support. It wasn't about
00:04:43.140
We're finally there. I guess there was the white puppy
00:04:46.960
But, you know, now we got a bit more. So the University of Calgary has got this kind of famous rock, big rock, and people can paint whatever, people paint the rock. There's probably 30,000 layers of paint on this thing at this point.
00:05:05.460
you know the conservatives paint blue and the liberals
00:05:11.320
you can put things on it or it can be different
00:05:33.020
Now, the campus conservative club, the University of Calgary, has gone and painted it as a Canadian flag on Remembrance Day.
00:05:45.860
I mean, being a bit more appropriate, probably should have been done as a red ensign, the flag that most people fought on.
00:05:52.300
I mean, you can pick it all red, just a shield, but yeah, it's not as neat to paint.
00:06:20.320
I don't understand I actually didn't get what
1.00
00:06:23.020
so when someone inevitably paints over the Canadian
00:06:36.680
mind-numbing. And you saw all the usual characters
00:07:05.480
maybe it constitutes a nation, but it certainly does
00:07:31.300
cadets up to do it. I think they were maybe air cadets
00:07:44.960
I don't know what they call it. Ancestral acknowledgement
00:07:47.400
or something. Whereas essentially, we apologize
00:07:49.100
for being white and that there was ever slavery
00:07:58.940
but Canada actually was one of the first places on the planet
00:08:08.400
Canada was the first part of the British Empire
00:08:25.660
we know it, you don't have to say that crap
0.99
00:08:51.320
and this is the kind of recognition they would get for their service and sacrifice i don't think
00:08:56.600
there would have been you know one of the remarkable things about the canada is the
00:09:01.560
number of people who actually put on uniform in 1939 this was just a country of about 11 million
00:09:09.480
people 900 000 men and women put on uniform 900 000 out of a out of a population of 11 million
00:09:19.720
and they were not fighting for anything but freedom and an end to fascism and what we're
00:09:30.600
looking at now with this kind of thing that you've just described so eloquently derek is a new kind
00:09:37.640
of fascism except that this time it's directed at people like us by the kind of people who benefited
00:09:45.800
most from canada's war effort it is uh it's a shame it's a disgrace and uh uh we'll probably
00:09:53.320
see more of it before we see less of it the only reason i even raise the possibility of seeing less
00:09:58.760
of it is that if you've noticed the shibboleths are starting to fall you know we have uh bill
00:10:05.320
gates coming out and say well maybe global warming isn't the most important thing in the world
00:10:15.700
on the indigenous claims that seem to require the most proof.
00:10:26.780
people are starting to say, yeah, maybe not so much.
00:10:33.780
and they're used politically to embarrass the conservative side.
00:10:53.940
it was on Good Morning Britain or it was a British
00:11:16.280
I don't want to put words in the man's mouth, but...
00:11:22.880
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he said it wasn't worth it.
00:11:35.740
if this is the country I knew we were going to get at the end.
00:11:48.300
I think the only thing we're seeing with regards
00:11:53.640
national identity, what it means to be Canadian,
00:12:10.980
This was a British veteran. It wasn't Canadian, but obviously
00:12:27.980
burst into the headquarters and says, I know how
00:12:29.940
we're going to invade Britain, and then just shows
0.91
00:12:47.780
Britain is just kind of a symbol of what's happened
00:13:12.460
And this is just kind of usual par for the course.
00:13:18.100
until we declare all of them veterans all of a sudden
00:13:31.980
country in a culture where there's some people better
00:13:41.740
and that was the place to have your passive-aggressive
00:13:45.760
the next group will paint it, the next group will paint it.
00:13:53.740
This was actually a couple years ago when they did the
00:13:59.440
basically let everybody there know it's sacred. You do
00:14:01.580
not dare paint over it again. The tradition is finished.
00:14:09.380
allegedly, that's controversial. The one place.
00:14:17.380
That's what it's supposed to be for. So they've
00:14:19.580
said, we can't do it at the place where we're supposed
00:14:23.600
crap into the other areas where you weren't supposed to bring the politicization in, which
0.97
00:14:27.480
is Remembrance Day. And I sadly, I think part of why they're getting away with it, if they'd done
0.97
00:14:31.360
it 20 years ago, when you're at a ceremony and there were still a hundred or 200 actual veterans
00:14:37.700
from World War II who could still get around without a walker and such, whoever was stating
00:14:42.520
the land acknowledgements and saying everybody should look at their shoes and everybody should
00:14:45.540
be ashamed of being Canadian would have been pelted by rocks from the veterans in the background.
0.99
00:14:49.240
I said, we're not going to put up with that crap on our day.
0.99
00:14:52.420
But we need somebody to stand up and say, do not do that on their day.
0.98
00:14:57.100
So those of us who didn't serve now got to get up and say, that crap's got to end.
0.96
00:15:00.700
Because it's degrading such a critical, critical ceremony that just had none of that crap has any place going into it.
0.97
00:15:07.080
You know, and on Remembrance Day, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was yesterday.
0.75
00:15:26.080
I think that might be a bridge too far even for
00:15:31.980
But on Remembrance Day, she announced that they will be
00:15:41.780
And Calgary, Calgary City Hall is going to raise the Palestinian flag.
00:15:46.520
I mean, it's particularly provocative, but I think it, I want to pull it back, William, to maybe broader topic of corrupting our public spaces, institutions with things, ideological causes that have nothing to do with us.
00:16:21.780
I don't want to be accused of double standards here
00:16:33.660
what does it have to do with your sexual orientation we we should be scrapping this
00:16:39.520
like we've just got an endless now uh ream of applications in for declarative days today's
1.00
00:16:48.180
gay day today's palestine day today's today's israel day uh it's time we shut this shit down
1.00
00:16:56.620
it's time we just draw the line say city hall can have three flags canada alberta calgary
1.00
00:17:16.960
You know what, I'd rather there just be no wiggle room at all
00:17:29.560
don't, at least on the surface, have any problem with.
00:17:32.600
I'm sick of it, William, and I'm going to go crazy if I see one more frigging flag that's not Canada, Alberta, or Calgary in my bloody city hall.
0.99
00:17:43.220
I think maybe in the past, maybe there's a place for it upon the canvas of Canadian society.
00:17:50.720
We need to really reestablish a canvas because it's being rent asunder.
00:17:54.100
I think it's 43% of Canada's youth are actually in favor now of becoming part of the United States of America.
00:18:00.100
And so that's essentially half of Canada's future is essentially, well, they see no future in Canada.
00:18:08.560
And that's because in a lot of ways, we very much sacrificed our own spirit, values, ethos, in order to make space for the culture and pride of others.
00:18:16.400
I think in a lot of ways, the modern advent of identity politics has transformed the pursuit of diversity into an instrument of oppression
00:18:22.800
and very much a political mechanism that leftists everywhere now routinely leverage in order to legitimize
00:18:28.320
and very much encourage the persecution of any sufficiently undiverse or white person.
00:18:35.200
I think in a lot of ways, even the overt abuse of white people has become legitimized based
00:18:43.000
In a way, you have to even beg the ability to suffer, the ability to have a legitimate
00:18:57.360
Maybe I ranted too much, but it segues real nicely into our next topic here.
00:19:05.980
So, Nigel, the federal budget, I was kind of pilloring this.
00:19:12.320
You know, the feds have this plan to increase our reserve forces to 400,000.
00:19:19.620
We're at 25,000 to 26,000 right now, so 16-fold increase.
00:19:25.280
there is a zero percent chance like you you would have to pay reservists a hundred thousand dollars
00:19:32.100
a year to go on a couple weekends to get up there without conscription just no way you're ever going
00:19:37.500
to get even vaguely close to it we've had the a 30 000 target for eight years seven eight years now
00:19:45.480
we haven't closed it by one soldier essentially we've not gotten anywhere also people come in
00:19:52.160
they realize how crappy it is in our forces now you got tampons in the men's room uh it's not
0.94
00:19:58.480
yes sir or men it's yes they them kind of crap there's no esprit de corps anymore our military
0.76
00:20:03.560
has been shredded from its martial spirit it's a esprit de corps um but the plan now is uh at
0.97
00:20:10.980
least for 300 000 of this massive new people's army in canada uh is reclassifying bureaucrats
00:20:20.940
So, you know, first of all, I want to point the listener to an excellent column in the Western Standard from John Thompson,
00:20:28.660
who often writes on military matters, and he writes with some authority because he was in the forces himself.
00:20:36.500
I must confess, when I read this, I didn't know whether we should be taking this seriously or whether we should play it for laughs
0.98
00:20:42.300
because the whole idea is outrageously stupid from the very start.
0.96
00:20:48.380
But you never know with Mr. Carney whether even something ridiculous actually meets an undisclosed government motive.
0.98
00:20:58.120
I really have to think, well, he's made various promises about spending more money on the Canadian military.
00:21:04.860
Well, here's a way to do it, that he's going to expand the forces.
00:21:09.020
Well, if it's just numbers that you're thinking about, here's a way that you can fool people.
00:21:14.120
If we're going to go to the numbers game, let's just look at a couple of things here.
00:21:18.380
There are approximately 400,000 Canadian civil servants,
00:21:23.020
and there will still be 400,000 plus after Mr. Carney has completed his budget cuts.
00:21:36.000
That's not to say women can't be part-time soldiers,
1.00
00:21:39.520
but the other thing is more than half are over the age of 40,
00:21:46.860
and more than a third are over the age of 59 now basically that's not your traditional
00:21:56.180
recruiting pool okay and what do they get old cat ladies working in offices they get one week's
1.00
00:22:03.960
training they get shown their shooter gun to fly a drone and this is obviously something that's
00:22:12.380
going to have to be procured because we don't actually have a hell of a lot of these things
00:22:49.120
Anyway, so, you know, this is the sort of army that Britain would put together.
00:22:56.380
They had pitchforks, shovels, and one gun between three.
00:23:00.300
You know, and if the juries had ever landed, they'd have had a rough time with it.
00:23:10.480
To use an American analogy, our civil servants are not.
00:23:15.480
the people you want if you have a citizen army and they certainly aren't the people who are going to
00:23:21.280
rise to the occasion with one week's training so obviously this is a big uh rubbish story
00:23:27.540
i can't help thinking that this is all about uh giving the government cover to go back and say
00:23:34.140
they've done something when in actual fact they've done nothing funny historical just note there uh
00:23:52.360
The French defended Berlin to the end, maybe not Paris.
00:24:08.960
all these military assault rifles from canadian hunters and we're going to give it to ukraine
0.94
00:24:13.360
that's my parting shot oh you didn't tell me yeah well they're they were going to give these
00:24:19.660
guns to ukraine uh turned out ukraine didn't want them because none of them are actually
00:24:24.000
military rifles they're they're just hunting and sport shooting rifles uh so the ukrainians
00:24:28.860
disagreed that these are actually assault rifles but this sounds just about as crazy that we're
00:24:33.000
going to arm the ukrainians with our hunting rifles uh now we're going to make a mass people's
0.97
00:24:38.080
army out of bureaucrats yeah that's how do you how often do you think they are you're in ottawa
00:24:44.740
well so here's the funny thing i've been trying to turn this on as i had to make sense of it and
00:24:48.920
i wonder if really the goal isn't necessarily uh physical let's say but ideological kind of
00:24:54.540
to reconstitute the ideology of the canadian armed forces when we already know that they're
00:24:59.420
doing everything they can not to recruit from people on the right um because the the canadian
00:25:03.920
armed forces like the RCMP has equated traditional values squarely with extremism, right? And so what
00:25:09.400
else would kind of swelling its ranks by so many public servants do, but essentially inject a huge
0.93
00:25:14.740
amount of, like you said yourself, hyper leftist ideology directly into the ranks of the Canadian
00:25:19.460
armed forces. And I wonder if maybe that's really the goal, not combat readiness, not the ability
00:25:24.400
to do anything militarily, to reestablish our martial spirit, but to change the ideological
00:25:30.620
constitutional constitution decisively of the Canadian Armed Forces. To me, that's really the
00:25:35.340
only thing that makes sense. And in a way, it's almost the most nefarious of possibilities.
00:25:39.700
I think there's a good point to that. I think there is also,
00:25:44.020
Carney does need to be able to show Trump and to a lesser extent, NATO more broadly that,
00:25:48.560
hey, look, Canada's got this, we have an actual army now. So on paper, you can show that you've
00:25:53.260
got more. I think that is one goal. But on the other, I think that is a not unreasonable suspicion
00:26:02.340
to ensure that the military is ideologically reliable.
00:26:06.060
They've already done this at the upper end of the Forces Corps.
00:26:10.400
You remember, it was just the last week or something,
00:26:26.900
Yeah, like everything, it's not always had a perfect politically correct record.
00:26:31.480
But for God's sakes, the purpose of the military was never inclusion and diversity.
00:26:44.780
But those with a taste for adventure should turn and tune in to Fox News tonight.
00:26:53.560
They're going to, Pete Hexeth will be there laughing at it.
00:26:57.380
Yeah, I was going to say it makes us look worse to Trump.
00:27:00.540
I think that, to be honest, like all this talk of a 51st state is squarely the result of our weak leadership.
00:27:06.740
I think that, let's say you have Harper in there and Trump makes the same crack, the same joke about a 51st state.
00:27:11.900
And it stays just that because you had a strong leader in office.
00:27:15.820
And so I think that in a weird way, like adding all these public servants, it makes us worse in the eyes of Trump.
00:27:21.520
It makes us look even more limp-wristed, let's say, effete, and almost incapable of anything internationally.
00:27:29.880
Well, you know, maybe this will make the lower ranks, you know, more ideologically reliable, perhaps.
00:27:38.920
But they've already done this with the upper ranks.
00:27:41.560
Promotion now, I'm sure merit still plays some role in the forces, but it is very clearly not the most important thing.
00:27:50.440
uh you know they're not putting a hoser like randy illier from newfoundland in anymore
0.83
00:27:55.920
that kind of guy is not gonna we're not gonna see him as chief of defense staff anytime soon
00:28:01.260
um you know they've got these dei hires who are clearly there just for photo op it looks
00:28:08.200
good on paper to these kinds of people um but yeah i i wrote a column we published just over
00:28:27.860
and they said it is, quote, the most advanced submarine
00:28:37.980
attention to this stuff. And I scratched my head
00:28:44.060
I'm pretty sure it's the only submarine in the Canadian fleet.
00:28:50.220
We have, on paper, three submarines built in the 80s,
00:28:53.440
which have been out of service virtually the entire time since Canada bought them used.
00:29:02.680
They killed a couple of sailors when they brought them over.
00:29:06.780
They've been getting refitted the entire time we've had them.
00:29:09.960
So we have three sitting around, one now, I guess, in service.
00:29:18.740
I thought about this and I started correcting the numbers.
00:29:29.440
combined. There's different levels of generals and admirals.
00:29:43.400
So excluding a significant number of those generals and admirals in joint commands and organizations,
00:29:48.240
we have three admirals per active duty or combat-ready warship in Canada.
00:29:56.380
So, like, one admiral can literally run the end room.
00:29:58.360
I don't know what the captain does in the Navy anymore.
00:30:06.180
And we've got nearly one Air Force general per active fighter jet.
00:30:12.180
Now, I know that's a very oversimplifying metric, but I think it should put things in perspective.
00:30:17.640
We don't have a Navy. We don't have an Army. We don't have an Air Force.
00:30:22.160
We've got paper organizations that are just led by people in uniform who are no longer even led, at least at the high levels, based on anything involving a meritocracy.
00:30:34.400
For all intents and purposes, Canada doesn't just have an underfunded, undermanned military.
00:30:42.320
Well, in this latest embarrassing brainstorm, which people will see through immediately.
00:30:47.860
And NATO and so on aren't going to say, oh, great, Canada's met its 2%.
00:30:53.460
I mean, we can't take these reservists and stick them in a real combat situation.
00:31:01.200
I've just returned from a country actually with some of the most active reservists on
00:31:07.680
You go to Tel Aviv at night, and they're going to the nightclubs, and you see a couple of good-looking girls walk, and you realize they have M4s hanging over their back.
0.94
00:31:16.960
But you see off-duty reservists and people around.
00:31:19.920
They aren't fat, later middle-aged, old bureaucrats, or even old journalists like myself who would be unfit for that duty.
00:31:26.440
These are conscripts, but they're young because they really want them to serve a purpose.
00:31:33.700
That's why you can have them walking around in public with firearms.
00:31:36.680
and because you know unfortunately because there's a very dire need for it over there
00:31:41.400
they're in the middle of a war but I mean there's loads of examples around the world
00:31:45.420
of how to put together functional reserves functional militaries the only reason the
00:31:50.200
current government is doing this is that they don't want us to have one it's as simple as that
00:31:53.380
if they wanted one they'd have a model that would start because they're not afraid to spend money
00:31:57.040
they want to keep it just a woke extension of the bureaucratic nightmare that we're already living
00:32:02.080
And every single last one of the successful reserve army models in the world relies on young men of your biggest demographic in your nation. And I mean, did I not just describe the danger group? Young white men, that's, that is enemy number one of the Canadian government. They're like, oh, they're radical. They're extreme. Well, you're making them radical real fast. You're making them extreme real fast by treating them like second class citizens in their own country.
00:32:31.140
but I mean you're not gonna have a military of any kind big medium small effective or not
00:32:37.560
unless you've got young men who like guns and stuff that's who wants to join up and they don't
0.88
00:32:44.680
want to join up at significant numbers right now because they're treated like crap well again I
00:32:50.760
mean the example if you want to see of any specialized force or something they could
00:32:53.980
garner respect it'd be small and well trained the closest thing we got to Canada and that is GTF2
00:33:14.900
I'm sure if we got a recording of what they say
00:33:18.940
if we really want a functional force, you want to
00:33:26.740
as you said, that's the ones they want to sideline
00:33:45.420
Well, I think that's part of maybe the saddest part.
00:33:49.800
peacekeeper and kind of seen as a steward for other
00:33:53.720
and we were renowned as one of the international community's
00:33:57.700
of violence you know we have a storied history not just of kind of helping people and keeping
00:34:01.900
people safe but very much advancing our own national interests and doing damage
00:34:04.820
all right um i guess okay i won't get as worked up on the next topic
00:34:12.140
uh all right who wants pierre gone um so there was polo just the other day saying
00:34:19.880
you know just nearly half i think it was like 47 or so but you know essentially half of right
00:34:26.460
leaning canadians want uh new leadership for the conservative party um so here pauliev i think is
00:34:35.300
it february it's coming up in the convention january january uh they're having their uh
00:34:40.480
biannual convention right here in calgary um i mean facing a leadership review is probably
00:34:46.600
smart strategically to go to a friendly area each constituency is only allowed to send you know a
00:36:14.080
oh is Danielle Smith gonna win her leadership review
00:36:35.800
good feelers out there, you're not going to win
00:36:47.660
but he would have gotten much less if they had not
00:36:49.640
rigged it. But normally a leader reads the room. Pierre Polyev
00:36:53.580
is going to win. The media are hedging their bets.
00:36:57.300
I think he's going to get pretty strong. But William,
00:37:05.520
but we've kind of thrown you into the lion's den and the press gallery there.
00:37:11.060
Who's taking this seriously, that Pierre Polyev's
00:37:13.680
leadership's actually in any jeopardy? I think the media and liberal
00:37:17.440
politicians are the ones who are really taking it seriously. I think they've essentially constructed
00:37:21.840
this narrative, I think essentially post-election, that Pierre Poilievre is not doing too well,
00:37:26.420
he's not enjoying support, the Conservative Party is kind of in decline. And I think that now
00:37:30.440
certain Conservative politicians are becoming beholden to this narrative and kind of bullied
00:37:34.780
into fulfilling its prophecies. I think it's part of this greater attempted narrative push that
00:37:39.760
we've all seen kind of over the past few years, this attempt to convince everyone that right-wing
00:37:44.020
values conservatism religion even are all dying out it's simply not true i think especially amongst
00:37:49.060
canada's youth uh youth sorry which is for all intents and purposes uh canada's future data
00:37:54.660
indicates for instance that if the last election were to have been decided entirely by canada's
00:37:59.540
youth uh we'd actually been blessed with a conservative government um and i think that's
00:38:03.460
something we need to keep in mind uh that conservatism is firmly on the upswing it's it's
00:38:07.700
strong it's it's doing great in canada especially amongst the youth in our future and i think that
00:38:11.780
do we risk almost uh let's say speaking something into existence that we don't want to do right
00:38:16.700
um and that's this narrative that conservatism is in decline and we really need to be worried
00:38:21.180
and careful of not speaking that into into existence because we're doing great right now
00:38:25.660
and i think that uh the only people who think we're doing badly uh kind of peer polyev's uh
00:38:30.640
leadership is suffering are again the liberal media and liberal politicians i think they're
00:38:34.340
the ones who have really constructed this narrative to be honest if there's any fracturing
00:38:37.960
going on because of the budget or let's say uh polyevs uh well not polyevs leadership but if
00:38:42.840
there's any fracturing going on uh anywhere uh we can look to the liberal party uh to take it in
00:38:47.960
um carney very recently i think he's actually been forced to keep his ev mandate uh to keep
00:38:52.840
people like gobo happy um and that one liberal mp uh erskine smith i think it is is openly and
00:38:58.600
viciously criticized the liberal uh liberal and carney budget right and so if we want to look for
00:39:09.160
to the Conservative Party, really the only signs
00:39:44.680
They're now looking at likely four years in opposition.
00:39:48.100
Four years, and you don't even have a theoretical chance of being a cabinet minister unless you cross the floor.
00:40:07.120
much, much harder time. You had Belinda Stronick
00:40:51.080
some of the provincial parties, particularly in the
00:40:55.160
Doug Ford's government. They've scheduled their
00:41:00.720
if it wasn't the same day, people would be expecting
00:41:09.280
his convention the same day, he can say, yeah, I'm busy,
00:41:40.940
in the caucus but there are two people already trying to fashion
00:42:09.880
But anyway, that's just because I'm a little blind in one eye.
00:42:22.600
The question is, what would you want a new leader to do that's different to what the one you have has done?
00:42:30.400
Because Poliarev has actually accomplished a little miracle here in bringing the Conservative Party up to the point in January, February of this year where it was the recognized option.
00:42:46.460
So right now he's on the outs, but he could be back in a flash with a change in circumstances that right now nobody's even prepared to contemplate.
00:42:57.620
I know what you're saying, but that's kind of said every time a leadership comes up, people would say, ah, but who could possibly succeed?
00:43:04.780
People said the same thing when Kenny was going down.
00:43:10.560
Well, and you said the same thing when the last time I brought this up.
00:43:14.680
And people said the same thing when Trudeau was going down.
00:43:44.520
You've got to feed the goat, and the media is a goat,
00:43:50.500
and if you don't give them something to chew on,
00:43:53.140
they will go somewhere else and get it, and what do they do?
00:43:56.060
They go to the liberals and the malcontents of the people who do polls.
00:44:01.040
They are trying to get anything out of a conservative MP.
00:44:08.360
They've been told to shut up and not hug her about with the messaging.
00:44:11.220
all right uh cory we don't have enough time for you here but i'm gonna we don't have enough time
00:44:16.780
overall so i don't even get a parting shot so you're just gonna get the parting shot time and
00:44:21.380
you're up first i'll do a quick one just a gentle reminder to some folks a great cup is this weekend
00:44:26.120
and i couldn't care less about the canadian football league i know but there are were nine
00:44:31.340
big lines drawn in the sand by somebody in alberta saying great cup weekend was the deadline for all
00:44:36.240
those lines and i don't see any of them having been released uh premier premier smith uh has
00:44:42.800
has made it pretty clear that there was a whole bunch of demands she expected carney to meet by
00:44:46.580
then and that deadline's fast approaching i don't think a memorandum of understanding covers it i
00:44:51.960
really hope she's got something in mind for the or else part of her threats because otherwise
00:44:58.400
they're just hollow i think it's a very uh that's a good point nagel well you'd be you'd grab line
0.94
00:45:04.160
about the stolen parting shot look the one thing i want to mention is uh i see that uh under the
00:45:10.680
new deal that tesla mr mr musk is going to be the world's first trillionaire um i'm not jealous
00:45:18.060
good luck to him but it just needs to show what you can do when you give people what they want
00:45:22.180
at a price they can afford well i don't want a tesla nor can i afford one but i take your point
00:45:33.920
Maybe I'll touch on what we were talking a little bit earlier about anti-Palestinian racism.
00:45:38.440
I think one of the things we struggle with is kind of the difference between anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia.
00:45:43.320
And the difference is actually something striking.
00:45:46.680
Anti-Palestinian racism is predicated on this idea that you can't criticize the Palestinian cultural narrative.
00:45:57.300
And it's indicative of exactly the main problem with adopting anti-Palestinian racism
