Western Standard - OE： Democracy for Sale - Trudeau Knew About Chinese Election Interference

00:00:00.000 Welcome back to Auto Exposed. I'm David Creighton, the Senior Parliamentary Columnist for the

00:00:14.620 Western Standard. What a week it's been on Parliament Hill and in Ottawa. We've got lots

00:00:20.660 to expose today. I want to start by saying this. Democracy is for sale in Canada. It's

00:00:27.600 sale to the chinese and justin trudeau knew what did he know he knew that the chinese were influencing

00:00:39.120 our federal elections especially in 2021 that's the one he hasn't confirmed or denied he's been

00:00:44.560 distracting he's been gaslighting he's been doing everything except telling us what he knew and when

00:00:50.400 he knew it and we need to know both of those things right away we need to know them because

00:00:56.400 we've got some serious problems here in terms of what our democracy means and can china actually 1.00

00:01:04.240 buy an election can they target members of parliament the candidates and say we want this

00:01:10.240 man to win or this woman to lose what is going on but we had some fascinating testimony yesterday

00:01:18.080 at the committee that has been set up to it to look into chinese election interference not only

00:01:25.120 in 2019 where candidates in the greater toronto area were targeted but in the 2021 election where

00:01:34.240 the chinese apparently bought a minority government for justin trudeau and i want to just go to some

00:01:42.240 testimony last night where michael cooper an edmonton area mp for the conservative party

00:01:50.400 was doing some querying and some interrogating about what was going on and i think this is quite

00:01:57.420 fascinating since january 2022 i will give you the dates when we've briefed the prime minister

00:02:03.580 formally we also have informal discussions with them frequently about foreign interference and

00:02:09.420 the activities in the national security community so put it this way will you undertake to provide

00:02:15.360 the dates that the Prime Minister was briefed with respect to Sam Cooper's report of November 7,

00:02:25.880 2022? I can't give you the dates that the Prime Minister was briefed about media reports. I can

00:02:31.640 tell you the dates he was briefed about foreign interference. Okay, so with that, how many times

00:02:38.320 Was the Prime Minister briefed about Beijing's interference in the 2019 and 2021 elections?

00:02:46.640 The Prime Minister would have been briefed on foreign interference in the elections multiple times between 2019 and 2021 and 2022.

00:02:56.500 We will endeavor to get you those dates.

00:02:58.620 So you will undertake to provide the dates and the agencies and those involved in briefing the Prime Minister?

00:03:09.040 We will endeavor to get the dates for you.

00:03:11.040 Every instance that he was briefed in respect of Beijing's election interference?

00:03:15.680 I will do my best, but again, I was not in this job at the time.

00:03:19.060 well there you go that's the most we've had from the federal government in terms of real answers

00:03:29.380 on this question so far and i think that's quite interesting we're getting the usual distractions

00:03:35.540 from justin trudeau and it's quite interesting when he was asked about whether or not he was

00:03:42.420 briefed about chinese influence in the 2021 election he didn't really answer the question

00:03:48.820 did he no what he did was say one of the things we've seen unfortunately over the last years is a

00:03:55.300 rise in anti-asian racism linked to the pandemic concerns being aroused over people's loyalties

00:04:03.780 so he then defended the liberal mp from dawn valley north that a cesis source has

00:04:12.420 targeted, as said, was a beneficiary of Chinese financial assistance.

00:04:20.780 Now, Han Dong has denied the accusation, but interestingly enough, when the House of Commons

00:04:26.660 voted to say that the Chinese extermination of the Uyghur population constituted a genocide,

00:04:36.180 Mr. Dong was not present for either vote. So I find this extremely interesting as do a lot

00:04:43.620 of people right now. And Trudeau actually had the temerity, well if we can call it that, he had the

00:04:50.580 gall. Let's call it what it is. He had the gall to suggest not the Chinese interfering in our 0.99

00:04:57.700 elections, it's CSIS trying to tell the Liberal Party who its candidates should be. This is typical

00:05:04.100 distraction from justin trudeau and believe folks it's a we've had enough of this and i tell you

00:05:10.820 it is time to say trudeau must go and this is why in another column this week i said chinese

00:05:19.540 election interference spells doom doom for justin trudeau and why does the spell do because this is

00:05:26.860 the scandal that seems to be sticking to him he's been teflon political teflon up to now let's face

00:05:32.680 it he's walked through a variety of scandals during his years in power he somehow got through

00:05:39.880 the snc lavalin scandal completely unscathed he threw his attorney general under the bus for that

00:05:45.320 one you remember that incident jody wilson rabel took all the blame for that one and somehow trudeau

00:05:54.120 walked away from the allegations that the trudeau government judicially interfered on behalf of snc

00:06:02.360 Lavalin so they could keep the company happy and keep Quebec voters happy. Trudeau walked through

00:06:09.880 that one. He's been accused of a sexual assault incident in his private life by a journalist in

00:06:16.480 British Columbia. Trudeau blithely walked away from that one. And of course, massive hypocrisy

00:06:24.040 on his second career as a gifted blackface performer. And he still has the nerve to call 0.97

00:06:32.000 everybody else racist when he's the one who did blackface so many times he says he couldn't

00:06:38.400 remember how many videos he did how many pictures were taken but yet once again he managed to

00:06:45.440 survive that one he because he arrogantly and blithely walks through scandal but this scandal

00:06:52.240 seems to be sticking and why why does this scandal seem to be because the information

00:06:59.600 the revelations the news is coming from the mainstream media for a change

00:07:07.120 there's been a sea change going on here the mainstream media has decided they've had enough

00:07:13.040 of justin trudeau obviously they've decided to stop coddling him stop defending him

00:07:19.920 because it's been the globe and mail it's been global news and others

00:07:23.360 in the national post i have been picking up on these stories about chinese influence

00:07:28.800 Before then, you had to go to the new media like the Western Standard and others to read about what Justin Trudeau was really like.

00:07:36.860 His news conferences are carefully orchestrated, choreographed events where friendly media are chosen to ask the questions.

00:07:46.220 Consequently, he doesn't get very many tough or difficult questions at news conferences, and he talks about what he wants to talk about.

00:07:54.440 I don't think that's going to continue much longer.

00:07:56.880 ironically justin trudeau is being destroyed by the country he said he most admired and we all

00:08:08.240 remember that the basic dictatorship he said he most admired china because it could quote turn

00:08:15.760 its economy around on a dime unquote yes it can because it's a totalitarian government that

00:08:23.080 controls what people see read buy sell and that's what true apparently admires but we know that

00:08:33.460 Justin Trudeau has unleashed something and by by saying he knows nothing about this or by

00:08:42.960 distracting the questions are coming that much quicker and that much more vociferously and I

00:08:50.380 think it's quite fascinating that he hasn't really confirmed or denied whether he knew about this.

00:08:57.760 But as you saw in that clip, the National Security Advisor for the Pripy Council Office,

00:09:06.740 and I didn't even know Canada had a National Security Advisor. That's an office that's well

00:09:13.260 known in the United States, a very powerful office. But I didn't know we had one in Canada.

00:09:19.460 And clearly, Jody Thomas wants to do her job.

00:09:23.680 And I applaud her for that.

00:09:25.320 She just got this job. 0.89

00:09:27.180 And, of course, she doesn't have all the answers yet, but she's promising to get them.

00:09:31.240 And I can tell you that there's enough people out there in the House of Commons and in the media now who are going to demand the answers because we've had enough of Justin Trudeau.

00:09:41.500 And I do believe his days are numbered.

00:09:44.040 I believe his days are numbered politically.

00:09:46.240 and no we cannot have a democracy for sale in this country and we cannot have

00:09:54.160 a Prime Minister who obfuscates constantly about racism and other issues

00:10:01.180 that have nothing to do with the issue at hand but Justin Trudeau is very good

00:10:08.860 doing that. Now, I want to shift to another issue because it's very important that if

00:10:20.940 conservative leaders in this country really want to see Justin Trudeau resign, they want

00:10:29.620 to see him leave the office of prime minister, then they have to stop being co-opted by his

00:10:36.800 office they have to stop standing with him at public events and nodding nervously or just looking

00:10:46.240 like they're a deer caught in the headlights when trudeau exploits those those media opportunities

00:10:53.840 to talk about his own issues and we saw this we saw this very clearly last week

00:11:00.800 with a fascinating news conference with Doug Ford, Ontario Premier Doug Ford,

00:11:10.220 the man I call the faux conservative.

00:11:14.640 And just watch this fascinating news clip here.

00:11:19.680 But let me also be very clear to a really important point

00:11:24.220 that I think some folks are choosing to overlook.

00:11:27.420 in a free democracy it is not up to unelected security officials to dictate

00:11:39.060 to political parties who can or cannot run that's a really important principle

00:11:47.100 we of course draw on the expertise every step of the way but the suggestions we've

00:11:52.600 seen in the media that CSIS would somehow say no this person can't run or

00:11:57.980 that person can't run is not just false it's actually damaging to people's

00:12:05.420 confidence in our democratic and political institutions Prime Minister

00:12:10.720 just a follow-up on that question on CSIS and Ham Dong are you saying that

00:12:17.360 they didn't warn you or were you warned and you chose to dismiss it for those

00:12:23.180 reasons just wanted some clarification once again one of the things we've seen

00:12:30.920 unfortunately over the past years is a rise in anti-asian racism linked to the

00:12:38.240 pandemic, and concerns being arisen around people's loyalties, I want to make everyone

00:12:48.220 understand fully that Handong is an outstanding member of our team, and suggestions that he

00:12:57.740 is somehow not loyal to Canada should not be entertained.

00:13:03.580 now here we have very interesting situation this is a news conference who announced that

00:13:10.460 ontario has signed on on justin trudeau's multi-billion dollar bailout of so-called

00:13:17.980 health care in canada but trudeau of course wants to talk about china and he wants to minimize the

00:13:24.780 damage so this becomes a news conference about china and and as we've already said trudeau

00:13:30.860 completely distracts or attempts to gaslight us by talking about the China election interference

00:13:38.660 scandal being all about what racism yes it's all about racism and it's all about racism that was

00:13:45.340 induced by the COVID-19 pandemic whatever that means and we know what he's trying to say but 0.93

00:13:50.780 that's it's absolute garbage so on the one hand he's talking about that but who's in the background 0.96

00:13:57.280 there it's Ontario Premier Doug Ford looking like a man who's about to be shot I mean he looks 0.99

00:14:04.320 completely uncomfortable but by standing next to Justin Trudeau he is essentially saying okay

00:14:10.520 I give you my sanction I am authorizing this and it's the last place Doug Ford should be

00:14:19.980 but as I said Doug Ford is is very friendly to liberals and he's been very friendly to Justin

00:14:25.880 Trudeau and apparently that's really what it's all about with Doug Ford but I want to also discuss

00:14:36.380 Peter Paulyev's reaction recently when three of his MPs met with a European Union member of

00:14:46.380 parliament named Christine Anderson now they met with Christine Anderson largely because she said

00:14:54.060 some very strong things about Justin Trudeau after he invoked the Emergencies Act in response

00:15:01.260 to the Freedom Convoy protests. Trudeau went absolutely nuts about this, you know, and he said

00:15:07.900 we've seen consistently a pattern from conservative politicians, conservative

00:15:13.140 parliamentarians associating themselves with folks responsible for a particularly vile level

00:15:19.680 of rhetoric and hatred and their answer is all the same all we didn't know now what exactly is

00:15:27.440 trudeau talking about what vile rhetoric i have listened to interviews with ms anderson and yes

00:15:38.480 she has a problem with illegal immigration and mass immigration into europe and she's not a 0.91

00:15:44.080 particular friend of the original religion of islam because it tends to be misogynistic 1.00

00:15:50.320 that's not that's not a that's not for debate it is it can be very misogynistic that's her that's 1.00

00:15:57.200 her problem but to call somebody a vile racist over this is ridiculous but yet pierre pauliav

00:16:04.560 immediately rushed to justin trudeau's defense not his mp's defense and he said christine

00:16:11.760 anderson's views are vile and have no place in our politics pauliev went on to say the mps were not

00:16:18.800 aware of their visiting blah blah blah frankly it would be better if anderson never visited canada

00:16:23.600 in the first place really so you're you're now telling us who should visit canada because they

00:16:29.280 might have one view you don't agree with this is unacceptable completely unacceptable paul you have

00:16:35.200 quite literally quite figuratively sounded and looked like a ventriloquist dummy by by saying

00:16:43.920 this and i tell you the great mark stein came out this week with a fantastic video on youtube

00:16:51.600 where he took poly of the task for this and he demolished the pusillanius

00:16:57.840 poly of in a youtube segment where he said pierre pussy ev joins the ranks of tory leaders who

00:17:04.720 thought all you have to do to win over voters was play on the left's terms and he went on to say

00:17:12.320 that pauliev has become one of the jelly spined pseudo-conservatives who preconceived on every

00:17:18.400 issue and he said that's that's become a universal phenomenon amongst so-called conservative leaders

00:17:23.680 well pauliev has got to stop being co-opted by justin trudeau and he should not have been at

00:17:28.960 that ukraine rally in toronto a week ago because he had basically endorsed justin trudeau's pledge

00:17:37.200 that he's going to keep on giving your taxpayer dollars to ukraine for as long as it takes and

00:17:42.640 for as much as it takes unacceptable unacceptable he's not listening to the grassroots and

00:17:49.920 And conservative leaders need to stop being co-opted by Justin Trudeau.

00:17:58.100 Now, in the time we have left, I want to discuss my interview with the great Seymour Hirsch, the Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist.

00:18:07.360 One of the best interviews I've ever had.

00:18:09.240 I could have spoken to Mr. Hirsch all day or, as he's known, sigh.

00:18:15.480 He was a fantastic interview, and I just want

00:18:19.040 to play a small portion of it right now for you.

00:18:21.780 David Plylariou But in Europe, it was pretty much,

00:18:24.180 it evolved into the kind of, you know, great places to live

00:18:28.160 and live and work, you know.

00:18:30.420 And so, you're asking the right question.

00:18:34.020 You know, one person I know well who knows that part

00:18:37.320 of the world very well, a military officer,

00:18:39.940 but in intelligence, said to me, well, the question now is,

00:18:43.540 who's going to be the first country to leave NATO, you know?

00:18:47.240 I mean, I'm serious, because he started something,

00:18:50.780 Joe Biden, that he didn't understand, and that's largely

00:18:54.420 because he's surrounded by these, you know,

00:18:57.860 I call him Lincoln, Blinken, and Nod, Tony, Anthony Blinken,

00:19:04.120 the Secretary of State, and Jake Sullivan,

00:19:07.260 who ran this little White House operation I was talking

00:19:09.700 about when they wanted to have options on what to do.

00:19:13.100 He was the guy to set up the stuff in a way.

00:19:17.200 And you, what's her name, Victoria Nuland,

00:19:22.540 who's the under secretary, whose husband was one

00:19:25.660 of the leading neocons that pushed in after 9-11 to go to Iraq.

00:19:30.060 So, Kagan.

00:19:34.260 And I mean, it's just, I'm a journalist, but I'm also a citizen.

00:19:41.660 And I think there's something, like you do,

00:19:45.160 there's something really wrong with what we're doing in Ukraine

00:19:48.600 to the point where the President United States is willing

00:19:52.420 to throw Germany and Western Union to the wind. 0.56

00:19:56.160 Stephen Winick- Yeah.

00:19:57.460 Stephen Winick- He's afraid they wouldn't support him more

00:19:59.820 in Ukraine for the gas, so he knocks off the gas.

00:20:04.600 That's what he did, and that's exactly what happened.

00:20:08.120 Stephen Winick- Yeah, fascinating interview

00:20:10.160 Because Seymour Hersh is not only saying that the U.S. blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, left them at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, but that by doing so, they have turned their backs on Europe.

00:20:23.860 and an 80-year-old policy

00:20:26.800 of looking out for Western Europe

00:20:29.600 and by cutting off the gas,

00:20:32.140 by insisting Europe

00:20:34.000 and specifically Germany

00:20:35.940 go in all the way against Russia 0.72

00:20:39.540 and with Ukraine in this bloody war

00:20:42.240 that could become a nuclear confrontation,

00:20:45.100 Seymour Hersh is saying

00:20:46.160 this is absolute insanity,

00:20:49.200 absolute insanity

00:20:50.440 because Joe Biden has lost control of this procedure, clearly,

00:20:57.040 and it is unraveling so quickly.

00:21:00.220 And it's very important that the questions have to be asked.

00:21:05.040 Now, Seymour Hersh would not say that the U.S. blowing up Nord Stream

00:21:09.540 constituted an act of war against Germany, against NATO, against Russia,

00:21:14.280 but he says the question needs to be asked.

00:21:16.980 And this is why the United States continues to deny it had any role in the sabotage,

00:21:23.020 because it can't answer the question.

00:21:24.600 It can't admit, because as far as I'm concerned, yes, this would constitute an act of war.

00:21:30.360 And he is breaking up NATO, because Germany is freezing this winter.

00:21:37.060 Lots of Europeans are freezing this winter because they don't have liquid natural gas from Russia.

00:21:43.160 But that's no problem for Joe Biden.

00:21:45.400 It's all about unseating Putin, and he doesn't seem to care if there's a nuclear war.

00:21:53.640 It's a consequence. 0.99

00:21:55.500 So here we are on the precipice of a nuclear holocaust, and we're moving faster towards that because of idiots in the military today who have forgotten nobody wins a nuclear war. 0.99
