00:00:00.000
Good day and welcome, I'm Derek Fildebrandt, publisher of the Western Standard.
00:00:28.380
Today is February 4th, 2026, and you're watching The Pipeline.
00:00:34.120
I've got Nigel Hannaford is away this week, he's, you know, he was the main speechwriter
00:00:41.240
for Stephen Harper, and so he's off paying tribute for the 20th anniversary of Stephen
00:00:46.040
Harper becoming Prime Minister at events throughout Ottawa, the unveiling of Orchard, so he's not
00:00:51.840
In his place is the much older and much more distinguished David Veitschnik, Western Standard's
00:01:01.260
And on the usual roundup, Western Standard Senior News Editor, Dave Naylor.
00:01:09.460
Filling in for Corey Morgan, though, we've got from an undisclosed location in prison,
00:01:17.640
Oh, you've hit a new low on your intros, Derek.
00:01:27.540
I wasn't even completely sure someone else, completely convinced someone else killed you.
00:01:33.280
Exclusive, Western Standard exclusive with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:01:37.240
We can't, we obviously can't tell you where he is.
00:01:40.380
But, you know, but yeah, this is, this is great.
00:01:44.200
It does kind of look a little bit like him, doesn't it?
00:01:47.660
The background kind of looks like Epstein's house, too, kind of, the outside of it.
00:02:00.480
Thank God our audience couldn't hear the shit talk banter before we started rolling.
00:02:19.460
We're all going straight to hell, right to the bottom, all the way to the basement.
00:02:24.580
Okay, well, speaking of Epstein, we're going to have to talk about the Epstein files.
00:02:29.560
I mean, one segment is not even not doing it justice, but, so, we'll talk, maybe we'll
00:02:39.920
talk about how we're trying to cover it, the angles we're finding, you know, we've got
00:02:43.820
journalists, oh, he's on his desk right now, but normally Jackson right behind us, Jackson
00:02:50.360
Loy, the way we're trying to cover it in Canada and try and find some, we're doing the kind
00:02:56.000
of the insecure Canadian thing where, well, what's the Canadian angle on this?
00:02:59.780
Well, actually, there are Canadian angles and there's Alberta angles we've been picking
00:03:05.000
up, you know, thanks to the, thanks to Skynet, we're able to go through everything, you know,
00:03:11.320
there's 3 million documents and more to come, but anyway, we'll try to make it interesting.
00:03:19.000
I mean, there's so much for Epstein that is interesting, but we'll try to add some additional
00:03:21.700
value that's not just stuff that you've already seen already, because I can't, I can't stop,
00:03:28.180
I can't stop reading Epstein files, I can't, there's a lot of slop, there's a ton of slop
00:03:39.540
You don't need to sensationalize Epstein stuff, it's mind-blowing without any sensation, so
00:03:48.180
anyone who's sensationalizing this stuff is just a click farmer, and anyway, everyone's
00:03:55.600
losing their minds about Alberta independence, Thursday to Saturday, the Conservative Party
00:04:01.160
Canada was in town in Calgary for its biannual national convention, I couldn't walk more than
00:04:10.640
a few steps without someone wanting to talk to me saying, you know, people from outside
00:04:18.200
You guys are actually doing this, like, how, or how likely is this to happen?
00:04:25.520
I don't know, I couldn't tell you that, I can give my thoughts on the likeliness of the
00:04:29.160
vote, succeeding, but we're definitely having a vote, Alberta's headed to a referendum on
00:04:33.180
independence, it's happening, everyone's around the country, they're talking about
00:04:39.660
this, and they just can't seem to believe it, and it's broken the minds of some people,
00:04:43.980
guys like David Eby, calling everyone who's nationalist treasonous, which means if someone
00:04:50.840
has committed treason, you actually need to kill them, like, we should be killing, we
00:04:53.740
should be killing people who commit treason, I think so, at least, so I'd ostensibly
00:04:59.140
he's at a minimum calling for us to be jailed, if not killed, anyway, we're going to talk
00:05:03.680
about that, but as I said, the Federal Conservative Convention was in town, we, you know, we had
00:05:13.020
a full crew of reporters on the ground there, David, you covered the speeches, I did, Dave
00:05:19.840
Naylor, you were running the whole crew, we essentially moved the newsroom a kilometre and
00:05:24.580
a half east, down to the Stampede grounds, where the convention was, so it was a pretty
00:05:29.260
busy time, my job was mostly hobnobbing, that kind of stuff, I was sick of cheap wine and
00:05:35.820
beer by the second day, but, Paulie of speech, David, it was well received, yeah, by, more
00:05:46.380
of the same, basically, that's the way I would sum it up, it was more of the same, well, that
00:05:50.000
was kind of what I said before, I was talking to some delegates the day after, it was kind
00:05:53.000
of like, yeah, that was kind of what we expected, kind of the numbers as well, he got, what,
00:05:56.160
it was at 87.4% approval for his review, and basically everyone I talked to said, well,
00:06:02.020
that figures, that's kind of what they were expecting, not too big, not too small, above
00:06:05.840
Harper's, below Danielle Smith's UCP leadership review a couple years back, yeah, yeah, this is
00:06:14.040
as usual, this basically sums it up perfectly, really, yeah, Dave, it ran to me as the perfect
00:06:20.800
speech of someone running for Prime Minister two years ago, you know, a year ago, we're,
00:06:27.980
I guess, headed towards an election, and, you know, Trump is just, upsetting the apple cart
00:06:33.140
doesn't quite put it right, but, you know, he's just totally flipped Canadian politics
00:06:36.960
upside down, the Liberals are getting, are gaining ground for a big comeback, which ultimately
00:06:42.040
succeeds, coming in just, just a slight of a majority, uh, but a year and a half, or two
00:06:47.160
years ago, people are talking about, well, you know, Paulieff has a chance of forming
00:06:51.440
the biggest majority government of any Prime Minister in Canadian history, and the message
00:06:57.800
I think he gave on the weekend to delegates was exactly that, except he just didn't have
00:07:02.840
the punching bag of Justin Trudeau, that was the only difference, and, and so, and there's
00:07:06.860
a lot less emphasis on Mark Carney, because Mark Carney is, I mean, he's obviously
00:07:11.600
not great, I don't think he's very good for the West, but he, he's not, he doesn't have,
00:07:16.420
the term I always use for Justin Trudeau, like, back, fief and gesect, a punchable face,
00:07:20.720
people don't look at Carney and just say, I hate that guy's face, he's just not as hateable,
00:07:26.060
he hasn't had enough time yet, but he's also just not as hateable of a personality,
00:07:28.780
so, other than Trudeau, like, he, he was running for Prime Minister two years ago, I think,
00:07:35.080
He was, I was just waiting for him to, to finish with the line that, you know, all Canadians
00:07:40.660
deserve a nice house on the safe street, protected by our great armed forces and, and a nice flag,
00:07:46.640
uh, he didn't, oh, axe attacks, stop the crime, yeah, he was less, he was less soundbite-y,
00:07:55.740
you know, putting a tag on anything or giving nicknames to people, trying to appear more statesman-like,
00:08:01.660
uh, he did show, uh, showed emotion, uh, you know, choked up when he was talking about his,
00:08:07.460
uh, autistic daughter speaking for the first time, you know, I, you know, I had to choke back a tear,
00:08:12.820
so it was, uh, it was a speech that went on too long, 50 minutes, uh, and it was a speech that
00:08:19.520
didn't cover any new topics, it was a speech that I thought didn't cover the Alberta independence
00:08:25.560
threat enough, uh, you know, but, uh, at the end of the day, it was all, it was a, it was a good
00:08:32.980
speech from where he was at, and, and the delegates, uh, the delegates liked it, uh, uh, and it ended
00:08:40.680
up with 87.4%, but it, uh, I was hoping for more.
00:08:46.420
Uh, Corey, let's talk about what he did not talk about.
00:08:50.360
The way, the way I, I put it was, I didn't disagree with really anything he said, uh,
00:08:55.940
for the most part, at least, um, but he didn't say what needed to be said.
00:08:59.940
He, um, you know, he very tangentially touched on that there's independence movements in Quebec
00:09:06.600
and Alberta now, you know, that's a feeling of the liberals.
00:09:11.160
Uh, but his message was more or less, elect me, everyone, everyone will like me, and then
00:09:16.540
Um, you know, he, he said exactly what I expected on Alberta independence, which is,
00:09:21.860
I understand there's grievances, but me being elected ends those grievances overnight.
00:09:29.980
Do I think it takes away kind of the punching bag of having, uh, you know, a Ontario and
00:09:36.900
That grievance is gone, but he didn't mention a single thing he would do other than pipelines,
00:09:41.220
at least on paper, the liberal support pipelines now on paper, at least.
00:09:44.700
Um, but, you know, he didn't say like an equalization.
00:09:52.840
We're not going to get rid of it, but you know, we're going to make equalization more
00:09:57.840
Um, you know, he, he didn't talk about, you know, you're hugely underrepresented in the
00:10:02.720
House of Commons and wildly underrepresented in the Senate.
00:10:07.980
No, no, um, no solutions presented at all, other than these problems go away simply by
00:10:22.780
Um, and I don't, I don't actually know how he should talk about Trump in a way that's
00:10:27.620
A significant number of conservatives in Canada back Trump, um, and don't take kindly to criticism
00:10:35.120
But at the same time, a lot of people, not, not just kind of elbows up boomer liberals.
00:10:40.020
A lot of people are like, well, yeah, well, the guy's threatening to annex us.
00:10:45.720
I don't know how we should respond, but he has still not really found his voice about how
00:10:51.840
And then the, one of the issues that's animating huge numbers of Canadians well beyond even
00:10:59.800
Not a word, at least that I can remember about that, like not a word.
00:11:04.640
Yet, like voters like me are not even going to consider voting for a party that's not hardline
00:11:09.200
on this, let alone ignores the problem's existence.
00:11:13.580
Trump, independence and immigration, where he either very lightly glazed over it or didn't
00:11:23.100
And, and, uh, you know, David in the middle wrote a really good summary, uh, of it in,
00:11:26.740
in the Western standard recently, I read it and I, I watched it streaming here from my
00:11:37.900
I think that's what a lot of the people's, uh, interpretation of it is.
00:11:41.240
I mean, this was his chance to give a large address that a lot of Canadians are going to
00:11:46.900
watch or listen to or get bites out of at least to say, well, what am I going to
00:11:51.800
do is different than what I offered in an election year ago, or as different than what
00:12:03.420
Uh, you know, that's that risk that comes with conservative leadership.
00:12:08.080
They want to out liberal the liberals and maybe eventually they'll win power that way.
00:12:11.900
But the, you know, when it comes to this, for example, dodging on the Alberta independence
00:12:15.560
issue, he did what conservatives typically do with, with Alberta.
00:12:19.500
The liberals ignore us and don't care about us, but the conservatives take us for granted.
00:12:25.180
So we don't have to speak to the Albertans because they're going to vote for us anyway.
00:12:29.420
And, uh, I, I think perhaps some of those strategies better understand that those resources and focus
00:12:35.340
are now going into a completely different direction than the federal conservatives.
00:12:40.400
Um, it, it, it just wasn't what anybody would want it to be.
00:12:44.640
I mean, it got, I mean, he got his support levels were high as everybody kind of expected,
00:12:49.100
but I think people want to see somebody who's showing a change in direction, uh, some vision
00:12:58.000
So Canadians want to embrace that change so that an election can be won.
00:13:04.180
I just saw a more practiced Pierre Polyev from a year ago, but nothing new on the table.
00:13:09.840
And I don't think it's going to bode well for the conservatives who are already looking
00:13:15.820
Um, did he talk about ending the CBC funding during the speech?
00:13:29.600
Um, when he ran for the federal conservative leadership, uh, at every rally, he says,
00:13:36.980
And, you know, you know, just imagine, you know, uh, a family pulling up in a U-Haul
00:13:42.080
and the former Toronto downtown headquarters of the CBC are moving families in, you know,
00:13:46.300
it was kind of a joke, but it was kind of a play on policy, you know, affordable housing.
00:13:49.340
And we're just going to house people in the former CBC buildings.
00:13:53.920
And it was always, always the biggest applause line by far.
00:13:58.580
And to my surprise, and to Polyev's credit, he kept saying it after he had the leadership.
00:14:03.680
Normally, you know, everyone remember Aaron O'Toole?
00:14:07.800
During the leadership, the instant he had it, he goes left of Trudeau on a number of issues.
00:14:13.840
Polyev didn't backtrack after he had the leadership.
00:14:18.960
And the Conservative numbers went up to a historic high.
00:14:21.060
Just the Liberal numbers ended up higher because the NDP disappeared from the earth.
00:14:28.100
He backed away from his CBC promise at the end of the campaign,
00:14:31.080
hoping it would buy him some goodwill from the CBC.
00:14:34.860
He backed away from his promise to get rid of the media subsidies,
00:14:37.560
hoping it would buy him some goodwill with the legacy media.
00:14:41.600
But he is not, I thought, well, it's a conservative crowd.
00:14:53.620
And I think that's a sign that he's going to take the lesson that the legacy media wants him to take,
00:15:00.700
which is, for you to win, you're going to have to be a lot less conservative.
00:15:04.200
You're going to have to be less of a Rau-Rau-Burta guy.
00:15:09.860
So, maybe that works, but it didn't work for Aaron O'Toole.
00:15:15.060
It didn't work when, to a lesser extent, Andrew Scheer tried it.
00:15:23.300
You know, Stephen Harper was pretty mushy by the end of his prime ministership.
00:15:32.400
But, yeah, I take that as a sign that Polyev, he's lost his mojo.
00:15:38.380
I don't, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think we're going to, I think we have seen the best Polyev.
00:15:44.820
I think Polyev we see from here on out is not going to be as good.
00:15:49.240
And like you were saying before, he's not bringing anything new.
00:15:53.600
I'm trying to be a softer, cuddlier version of the one last time.
00:16:00.520
But, that playbook has been tried by almost every conservative at some point.
00:16:06.380
And actually, in modern Canada, it never works.
00:16:10.360
It, like, name one recently who, for who that's worked.
00:16:16.760
There's like no point to his premiership at all.
00:16:23.780
So, yeah, the party's in power, but to what end?
00:16:27.340
We would be remiss not talking about another important speech on the weekend.
00:16:35.340
She actually gave a quite short speech, I thought.
00:16:43.000
Ran through the playbook of the last 10 years of Justin Trudeau and why Albertans are upset.
00:16:52.400
But she really didn't specifically phrase it in an independence way.
00:16:59.320
And I thought she missed a good opportunity there to, because she was being shown live all across Canada.
00:17:05.300
She missed an opportunity there to address the situation.
00:17:11.480
During her speech, she talked about some of the legislation her government passed around parental rights and pushing back against trans madness.
00:17:17.740
Like, hey, boys don't get to play against girls in sports anymore.
00:17:20.940
And then the next day, the Conservatives narrowly defeated a policy proposal on parental rights against trans madness.
00:17:28.900
Yes, because they need a double majority, a slim majority numerically voted for the policy, parental rights against trans madness.
00:17:39.440
And so I guess Conservatives in Prince Edward Island really love boys playing against girls in sports or something.
00:17:47.960
I'm just guessing it was you, Prince Edward Island.
00:17:54.240
Prince Edward Island, where you're a creepy island.
00:17:59.180
I think Jeffrey Epstein, who's on our show here, is actually coming to us from Prince Edward Island.
00:18:16.340
It's a part of France right off the coast of Nova Scotia or something.
00:18:25.000
It's like full of horses for some weird reason I don't understand.
00:18:28.940
I'd be looking around there for weird temples in Corrie.
00:18:47.480
It's funny that Alberta conservative, like UCP conventions, are actually bigger than national conservative conventions in Alberta.
00:18:56.900
Whereas in Alberta, you have a party membership.
00:19:00.240
But I couldn't walk five feet without someone I know or knows me or something from outside Alberta stopping me.
00:19:16.800
I'm like, this is supposed to be like a thing you guys just say over beers when you're kind of pissed off, right?
00:19:29.420
They're going to get the signatures very easily.
00:19:31.480
They're going to smash the threshold almost surely.
00:19:37.320
Yeah, I'd give them, you know, I generally say, I think we got a one in three shot of success.
00:19:42.940
Uh, you know, the good money is not on a successful independence vote.
00:19:47.620
But there's a real fighting chance of winning, um, you know, support levels, mid thirties.
00:19:53.400
Uh, the Western standard is actually, we're putting a poll on the field, uh, later today on this.
00:19:58.260
It's coming from a similar position of starting where they started in Quebec for the 95 referendum.
00:20:02.280
It's a similar position where they started in the UK for Brexit.
00:20:06.420
Both of those were not supposed to be successful or close.
00:20:14.280
Uh, BC premier David Eby, I think really took the cake.
00:20:25.380
Uh, this didn't even fit vague definitions of treason.
00:20:31.940
But I, I, I thought his other comments immediately, uh, following it were more revealing.
00:20:42.840
So Alberta nationalists don't want to be in Alberta and they're not Albertans.
00:20:48.880
I, I don't agree with the Quebec, uh, nationalists, but I'm pretty sure they're Quebecers.
00:20:56.720
Uh, you know, the Scottish, Scottish nationalists.
00:21:12.460
Uh, uh, Corey, uh, David Eby, uh, I guess, uh, the national media loved it though.
00:21:21.640
Uh, some of them, you know, you'd have, uh, you get them nodding along.
00:21:26.420
Others saying, well, maybe it's not technically treason, but these guys are treasonous.
00:21:33.460
Danielle Smith needs to just avow these people.
00:21:38.940
Um, does the intervention, uh, oh, uh, Stephen Gilbeau, uh, saying, uh, can you imagine if
00:21:45.880
Quebecer, uh, if, uh, the outrage in Anglo-Canada, if, uh, Quebecer had talked to the French government
00:21:54.620
For those who are, you know, maybe younger than even me, uh, every independence movement
00:22:05.320
Uh, Charles de Gaulle, the president of France, came to Quebec and famously said,
00:22:10.740
Vive Quebec, Livre, um, Jacques Ferrazo, René Levesque, Lucien Bouchard.
00:22:17.600
All of these guys regularly met with the French government, seeking their recognition in the
00:22:24.860
Uh, so Corey, how helpful is Stephen Gilbeau, Doug Ford, and David Eby to Alberta nationalists
00:22:34.320
I, you know, there, there's, you couldn't ask for anything more as an independence advocate
00:22:39.560
than outsiders being unreasonable, labeling you, even people, if it, well, you know, they
00:22:45.480
were thinking about it, you're just considering it, but then you hear that vitriol, that attitude,
00:22:51.140
that dismissiveness, that's pushing people over to the yes side.
00:22:55.760
I mean, they're highlighting, as you pointed out, the double standard.
00:22:59.120
I'm sure there were probably a handful of people called Quebecers traitors when their
00:23:02.580
independence were movements were going, but nothing like what we're seeing today.
00:23:06.320
Like they are, as you, as you said, they're losing their minds.
00:23:10.540
I think it's also just because a bunch of them are surely realizing, holy crap, this is
00:23:17.460
This isn't just a handful of, of rednecks, though.
00:23:22.920
It's not something that's just going to come and fade away.
00:23:25.240
Like the, the Wexit movement did a few years ago.
00:23:27.640
No, this came in, the APP, the Alberta prosperity project really sort of organized and have maintained
00:23:35.480
And we're actually heading to a referendum and these guys don't know how to respond to
00:23:41.380
So as an advocate who wants to see us vote, Hey, please, Doug, please keep telling Albertans
00:23:47.700
And please keep pushing our premier around because that's what we want to see as an
00:23:52.360
Ontarian feeling that he should tell our elected leadership what they should do.
00:23:58.740
Eby, by all means, keep blockading our products from the West coast and accusing us of high
00:24:07.000
Uh, I don't think they understand the consequences of what their reaction and response to this
00:24:12.300
is, but, uh, you know, anybody who wants independence, carry on guys.
00:24:16.680
You, you are not doing a good job for federalism.
00:24:22.020
Uh, I want to pull this, uh, tweet up on the screen here.
00:24:25.540
Uh, this is from Andrew Coyne, columnist with, uh, the Golden Mail.
00:24:31.380
You don't have a right to take a piece of it with you.
00:24:33.640
You can hold whatever votes you like, but you can't vote to help yourself to something
00:24:39.080
All the territory of Canada belongs to all of Canada.
00:24:42.040
Canada's future can only be decided by Canadians as a whole, not by groups within it.
00:24:45.720
However, desperate or fanatical, which they are pretty much by definition to think that
00:24:50.720
the only solution to your grievances is real or imagined is to destroy one of the most
00:24:59.140
Andrew Coyne, as we'll see, as you can see from his tweet, has, uh, the, uh, the pictures
00:25:10.580
Ukraine, Israel, Georgia, and I'm not a hundred percent positive on the last one.
00:25:23.780
Two of those flags represent countries that's separated from another country.
00:25:30.800
Uh, Ukraine was a part of the Russian empire since, uh, I don't know, Catherine the Great.
00:25:37.460
A millennia, I think it was, a thousand years almost.
00:25:40.600
Uh, if you go by Kievan Russe as the nucleus over it.
00:25:44.260
If you're going with Kievan, Kievan Russe state as the beginning, uh, having a bit of a
00:25:50.120
If you're saying the Cuban Russe is kind of the beginning of Russia, or actually Russia
00:25:53.600
is started in Ukraine, um, you know, Kiev, uh, if you're going from, you know, the Russian
00:26:01.100
empire, the czars, well, then that maybe goes kind of when it was reconquered from the Turks
00:26:06.320
by, uh, Catherine the Great, if I'm getting that right.
00:26:11.480
People say, well, Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore.
00:26:13.180
Yes, because everyone's separated from the Soviet Union.
00:26:20.860
And also, and Ukraine is culturally very similar to Russia.
00:26:24.460
It's different, but it's culturally very similar, uh, particularly in the eastern side of the
00:26:29.100
country, uh, and parts of the west near Odessa.
00:26:34.320
Uh, didn't separate, but it was carved up from other kingdoms, other empires.
00:26:38.680
Half of it came from the Austro-Hungarian empire, uh, and Israel, partitioned out of the British
00:26:49.300
Not a single one of these countries just always existed on its own.
00:26:54.140
They separated in one form or another to form their modern states.
00:27:07.220
You can, you can say Alberta independence is a bad idea, but just say every state is,
00:27:16.260
Uh, new states emerging from old states is illegitimate and cannot happen.
00:27:22.040
But the only way to do that is brute military force and Ukraine would have left Russia or
00:27:27.380
the Soviet Union a lot earlier if it hadn't been brute military force.
00:27:32.360
Ukraine, I think had only been nominally independent for like a few months after Russia's
00:27:37.740
surrender, uh, during the first world war before the Soviet Union reconquered it.
00:27:42.040
So it was kind of quasi independent for like a few months.
00:27:47.200
It had never been an independent country in its history until the fall of the Soviet Union.
00:27:53.620
But I mean, you know, there's an easy way for you to lower your blood pressure and let's
00:28:05.300
But you put those flags in your bio and then you have the nerve to say no one's ever allowed
00:28:13.300
Is Canada the only country you're not allowed to leave?
00:28:25.320
So anyway, uh, someone else take up the rant from there.
00:28:31.000
I just had to point out how dumb this is from smart people.
00:28:37.680
He's a very smart guy, but God, God, they say some dumb shit.
00:28:41.220
It was, it was interesting just to see the reaction of the national media after, uh, after
00:28:49.120
I mean, EB's run British Columbia into the ground.
00:28:51.320
Uh, but the, the, the national media picked it up, picked up on it and ran for it.
00:28:56.760
And it for throughout the entire weekend, uh, independence issues, uh, led, uh, CBC, C, uh, CTV global all throughout the, uh, uh, Tory leadership campaign.
00:29:08.800
Uh, the, certainly the chatter in the media room amongst all the out of town journalists was, was Alberta independence.
00:29:16.600
So, but I think this was the weekend they finally realized, Hey, something's up.
00:29:20.920
Something's up in Alberta and we better start keeping an eye on it.
00:29:26.860
We'll, uh, we'll see how the national media covers.
00:29:32.960
I'm talking about, yeah, I did find out like all the out of town reporters.
00:29:36.320
They're like, like, they're trying to get a sense.
00:29:44.480
And they're all of a sudden they're all like, how serious is this?
00:29:48.300
I'm like, it's look for everyone with an Alberta badge here.
00:29:53.380
Get a couple of beers in them and ask them how they're voting.
00:30:01.720
Well, I get a couple of beers in them and they'll tell you, you know, let's start shooting pistols in the air about it.
00:30:10.380
Though about people like Coyne, as you said, he's smart.
00:30:13.140
He's always been a pompous sort of windbag, but he's not a fool.
00:30:20.680
They're, they're responding emotionally and without thought.
00:30:26.100
I noticed Andrew Leach, who is hardly a conservative independence type supporter, even gently corrected somebody on that treason thing saying no and showed the law.
00:30:35.200
Like whatever you may think, you know, it's, it's, it's in poor taste or whatever, visiting other countries like that.
00:30:40.820
But it's not treason by definition, legally or, or, or otherwise.
00:30:44.800
But these, uh, pundits, they really, I think all their lives just never took Alberta seriously.
00:30:52.360
Never thought there would ever be a serious movement of those, you know, the, the colonies out there in Alberta to want to break away.
00:30:59.620
And now that they see it's real, it's really got them gobsmacked and they just, their better reaction would have been to do nothing and think about it for a little while first.
00:31:08.160
But thanks to the beauty of X, guys like Coyne can just spit their thoughts out as soon as they pop into their head.
00:31:13.500
And it's not doing Andrew any favors, but it's certainly again doing the independence movement wonders.
00:31:19.300
Coyne's never spit thoughts out onto Twitter as soon as it comes into it, is it all?
00:31:24.360
I'll be honest because Derek's really wound up now and we haven't even got to Epstein.
00:31:40.620
I was, you can, there's so many rabbit holes to go down and so many of them lead to real things.
00:31:48.980
Some of them are going to lead to some crazy stuff.
00:31:53.520
So there's stuff like Bale, you know, the kind of a demon god from Mesopotamia.
00:32:00.880
Uh, that actually was like a weird copy error that actually was supposed to say bank number.
00:32:08.920
Well, that one I can at least understand because there was a, that's like a scanning issue.
00:32:12.140
The original document does not show that, but that is what was released.
00:32:14.980
So I kind of get why people went down that rabbit hole.
00:32:17.740
But guys, there are so many real rabbit holes here.
00:32:26.000
My general thought though is like, we are governed by a bunch of evil pedophiles.
00:32:36.400
I, okay, uh, here, I'll switch to this camera for a second.
00:32:40.120
To a lot of you, I owe you an apology for dismissing you as crazy conspiracy theorists.
00:32:46.900
Uh, my time from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
00:33:13.020
It was way more evil, it was way more maniacal than I could have possibly thought.
00:33:26.360
we need like a great terror, like the French Revolution,
00:33:36.400
So instead of guillotines in the public square,
00:33:54.660
we're cool enough to be invited to Epstein Island.
00:33:59.340
Uh, there was very little Canadians actually found.
00:34:06.400
Oh, I was going to say something, but I'll get sued.
00:34:19.300
We've got repeated mentions of Calgary and Edmonton.
00:34:39.900
it's likely to cost British Prime Minister Keir Starmer his job.
00:34:47.920
who Epstein gave $75,000 to while Mandelson was a Labour government MP.
00:35:00.220
The question now under police investigation in England is,
00:35:04.060
did Mandelson give Epstein secret economic insights?
00:35:52.240
was hired by Epstein to go to a party in his house in Palm beach.
00:36:01.720
and then had a threesome with Prince Andrew and,
00:36:18.860
So he and Starmer are going to face huge consequences.
00:36:24.520
we found a very disturbing note from a renowned biologist to Epstein talking about,
00:36:34.240
young boys into quote feminine men as young as three,
00:36:47.600
you could be a reporter and spend the next year,
00:37:12.000
I don't think anyone's actually believing that one.
00:37:15.380
that's the kind of shiny thing they're throwing over here now to get us off.
00:37:20.380
It looks like Trump's going to bomb the hell out of their aunt to try and get people distracted.
00:37:28.680
He will be continuing going down the rabbit holes.
00:38:15.820
I think not everybody he associated with necessarily did misdeeds,
00:38:23.460
And it seems as if he crossed paths with every powerful business and political leader in the world multiple times.
00:38:46.060
leds credibility to maybe he was working for another interest to hold leverage over a lot of powerful people.
00:39:04.480
I'm afraid we're going to be talking about this again.
00:39:08.860
it seems to confirm a variety of otherwise more or less un,
00:39:25.880
the kind of person who is attracted to them is often just kind of weird.
00:39:40.560
And they're clearly not talking about pizza and grape and ice cream.
00:39:59.300
clearly some people use pizza as a code for something at a minimum.
00:40:23.540
the second half is way more explosive than the first half.
00:40:28.240
And there's been stuff with redactions where simple,
00:40:32.740
logical searches have been able to figure out more or less who some people are.
00:40:53.400
but I'll be in Washington or New York or something,
00:40:58.560
It turns out at that exact time that's being written,
00:41:22.300
And you could tie all these things together in a way that would normally take maybe weeks to figure that out.
00:41:27.940
it'd take you at least a week to get travel logs,
00:41:30.740
pull up newspaper clippings from China and Washington.
00:41:37.820
let's just remember Donald Trump and certain influencers in American politics saying there are no Epstein files.
00:41:47.560
And I'm going to hurt the feelings of some of our Trump lovers on the show,
00:42:13.940
And then now this has been a fight that people like Marjorie Taylor Greene,
00:42:21.320
pretty much toasted their political careers to achieve.
00:42:25.920
I was talking to someone yesterday who has always talked so dismissively of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:42:36.440
But she has done such a service to the world and the American public.
00:42:39.980
But her political career is apparently over because of this.
00:42:47.800
I find it funny that Derek says he's not a conspiracy.
00:42:52.840
you remember as every single new hire for the Western standard has to go through the history of Waco.
00:43:02.380
before they're allowed to sit at their desk because Derek is so conspiracy minded about that.
00:43:14.020
it was interviewed down there by Australian media and he apologized.
00:43:22.400
Jeffrey Epstein says he never went to the Island,
00:43:26.320
no emails about him getting the STDs from a restaurant.
00:43:40.740
has been giving some interviews saying his relationship with Epstein killed the marriage.
00:43:48.920
Clinton testifying on the Epstein files in Washington,
00:43:56.700
what do you wonder on if they make it their life?
00:44:26.100
They might just literally plead the fifth to everything.
00:44:29.760
Like everything is just pure radiation from this.
00:44:42.320
but none of these people are going to jail to this day.
00:44:45.260
Only one person has done time for these men abusing these girls.
00:45:32.440
Gillie Maxwell is the only person for whom any justice has been done.
00:45:36.320
And the only reason not to execute them is simply to,
00:45:43.800
We should make deals to not throw them in the wood chipper.
00:45:45.740
If we can get information to lead to more convictions of other people.
00:45:49.180
But there seems to be no interest in doing that.
00:45:53.120
why is the DOJ not like tripled in size just purely to prosecute this stuff?
00:46:19.220
And it's not even just politicians and Hollywood,
00:46:27.120
I think from some Harvard professor to Maxwell.
00:46:29.740
And he was talking about a party that they were at.
00:46:36.440
why would they be in touch with Harvard professors and that it's the weirdest thing?
00:46:40.680
And where did he have time to abuse all these girls?
00:46:48.840
That is our weak attempt to talk about the Epstein files in like 15 minutes.
00:47:04.960
it's like a picture of Charlie Sheen and he's got like cigarettes in his mouth,
00:47:15.720
that's why I got blacklisted from Hollywood for a bit.
00:47:23.380
I don't think that went down too well with Epstein.
00:47:52.420
but don't celebrate guys because every one of those stories also has the next caveat saying,
00:48:14.200
celebrating the 20th anniversary of Stephen Harper becoming prime minister.
00:48:19.280
there was an unveiling of what I thought was a absolutely excellent portrait of him.
00:48:31.380
all I can think of is how did he lose to that mop haired Muppet Trudeau?
00:48:44.800
I'll just say check out my new column on the Western standard website about the
00:48:48.140
conservative convention and conservatism in Canada and journal.
00:49:03.280
that's we have on the board about who Trump attacks next?
00:49:13.280
You will event America will eventually attack every single one of those countries.
00:49:16.560
I wouldn't think about there's a time limit on it.
00:49:22.380
it's looking like they're going to attack Iran again.
00:49:29.180
but that's not why we should attack countries or why America should attack countries.
00:49:33.160
America should attack countries if it's in America's interest to do so.
00:49:42.080
And this is to be a distraction from Epstein because you saw Trump saying,
00:50:06.700
and to distract us from what's happening right here.
00:50:18.540
It seems to genuinely not understand what was going on on the Island.
00:50:26.120
trying to distract us from the fact that it seems,
00:50:31.780
our business and social elite are monsters and deserve little better than the woodchopper.
00:51:07.180
Thank all of you for joining us today on the pipeline.
00:51:10.020
Remember the Western standard is only $10 a month or a hundred dollars a year for unlimited access to all Western standard content.
00:51:20.180
Thank you very much for joining us today and God bless.
