Powerful interview with Maxime Bernier of the People’s Party of Canada – pro-freedom...

Time Text
All right, welcome to today's interview.
I'm Mike Adams here, the founder of Brighteon.com, and we've got a really special guest today joining us from Canada.
His name is Maxime Bernier, and he is the leader of the People's Party of Canada, which shares so many important values that you, our audience, that you share with us.
And today we're going to talk about what's going on between the U.S. and Canada and how we can actually make this relationship work better.
So welcome, Mr. Bernier.
It's a pleasure to have you on, sir.
Thank you, Mike.
I'm very pleased to be with you.
Well, I was...
Someone sent me, I think, a video that you did, and I saw some of your tweets.
I was like, wow, we have got to invite you on because what you are saying makes so much sense.
And now with Justin Trudeau no longer the Prime Minister of Canada, I'm wondering, let me lead off with this question, is Canada ready for a turning point here that...
Would, you know, would divert away from some of the craziness that Trudeau subjected all of you to?
I hope so.
I think so.
You know, that populist movement that is happening in U.S., in Europe, in U.K., it is also happening here in Canada.
We are, you know, the People's Party, the incarnation of that populist movement, fighting for real common sense and, you know, Western civilization values.
Actually, in Canada, we may be in election next week.
As you know, Trudeau is not our prime minister anymore.
We have a new prime minister, Mark Carney.
He's not elected.
As you know, we have a parliamentary system in Canada.
We are not a republic.
And so Carney is the prime minister.
But he doesn't have any legitimacy.
So that's why he will need to call an election as soon as possible.
And we already will see what will happen.
But that, you know, revolution that President Trump is starting in the U.S., you know, that will be there for a couple of years all across the Western countries and also here in Canada with us, with the People's Party.
So it seems like, yes, there is a revolution of the republic here happening in the United States.
And, of course, I'm based in Texas, which always has a revolutionary spirit of sorts.
And, you know, the American people, my sense is that we love the people of Canada, but we despise the Canadian government that has been.
We love the Canadian people.
How can we help Canada be more...
What can we do to help support this effort?
Yes, same thing for Canadians.
You know, they like to travel in the US and, you know, we have friends in the US.
And so now our relationship is a little bit more difficult right now because, you know, our country, Canada, decided to start a trade war with the US when President Trump decided to impose 25% tariffs.
You know, we were and we still are the only national political party in Canada that said to Canadians we must not impose counter tariffs of 25 percent because what Trump did,
he did impose 25 tariffs on American businesses and consumers.
And I know that he's doing that to have a better deal with Canada.
And, you know, Trump did fight the inflation during his electoral campaign.
And he knows that these tariffs are, you know, increasing prices in the U.S. So that won't be for too long.
And the best solution that we can do as Canadians is not to engage in that trade war.
We did it with 25% tariff.
I hope that we will change our position on that.
And to reopen the free trade argument that we have with U.S., with you, with Mexico, because that free trade argument is supposed to be reopened only in 2026.
And President Trump wants us to be, you know, at the table right now and put everything on the table.
And we must do that.
And I understand also when President Trump is saying, you know, You need you, Canadians, to protect your borders.
You need to reinvest in your own defense.
He's right about that.
But the good news for Canadians now is that after nine years, Trudeau did nothing yet to protect our Canadians and our borders with mass immigration.
And now, because Trump was serious about that, now the Trudeau government or the Liberal government decided to invest to protect our borders.
To invest more in our own defense.
It's a little bit late, but at least it's a beginning.
And, you know, we were actually a threat to the national security of you, of the US, and a threat to our own national security by not protecting our borders, by having, you know, open borders policy with mass immigration.
So our position as a political party in Canada is to stop that mass immigration.
That will also be...
Very favorable for you, American, and having a moratorium on immigration, a pause on immigration, and yes, deporting are illegals, because also in Canada, we have illegals in our country.
So if we write on these important matters for you and us, we will have a better relationship, and let's do that.
Yeah, absolutely.
I completely agree with what you said.
We have to have reasonable border security for both nations, and I think this is one of the reasons that Trump has demanded more action from Canada, is because Trump believes that we, America, are on the receiving end of a bad deal where the Canadian government has been...
Putting tariffs on a lot of US exports or imports into Canada, such as dairy products, for example, and alcohol products, etc.
And yet we did not have reciprocal tariffs, at least that's my understanding, until recently.
But the border issue is serious because, I mean, I live in Texas, so we focus a lot on the southern border.
But our northern border is also super leaky.
And there are a lot of opportunities for unscrupulous characters with ill intent to go to Canada first and then cross that border into our states like Washington states.
That has been a problem.
Yes, you're right about that.
The last three years, you know, you and the American authority was able to stop, you know, suspect terrorists at the border.
And 80% of them from the last three years were coming from Canada.
So yes, we need to stop that, and we will.
And actually, President Trump is doing that, I believe, for us to react and do what is right for the US and for Canada by protecting our borders.
But like you said also...
President Trump wants a reciprocal tariff, and I'm okay with that.
You're right speaking about milk, dairy, and poultry.
The dairy producers in Wisconsin cannot export their milk to Canada because we have a cartel, we have a system that we call supply management.
The producers, they are producing only for the Canadian market, and they are fixing the price.
It's a communist system.
And yes, we are imposing up to 300% tariffs on milk, poultry and eggs coming from other countries, including the US.
So we must get rid of that because that's a cost for Canadian consumers.
We need to work for Canadians.
And for me, like President Trump, I want to put our country first and Canadians first.
So we are paying twice the price for milk, poultry and egg.
If you compare that with prices that you are paying in the US.
So let's abolish that.
But the liberal in Canada and the conservatives are working with the cartel.
They're afraid of them and they want...
They want them to keep their privilege because it's a huge privilege.
They are able to increase the price.
They are doing that actually two times a year, increasing the price without any competition.
So that's why Trump has a point there.
If we do that, just eliminate this tariff and have that reciprocal agreement, that would be a win-win for both countries.
Yeah, absolutely.
Removing tariffs benefits both countries, and we would much rather trade goods and services than trade verbal barbs and threats against each other.
Let me give out your website.
It's peoplespartyofcanada.ca.
That's plural.
peoplespartyofcanada.ca.
And here is all about the group that you are the leader of, the People's Party of Canada.
Here's a donate button.
here's how people can join your organization or help support you in the upcoming elections is anything you want to say about your website resources
Yeah, Mike, you can just click on the website on the platform and you'll see our platform.
We have, you know, a lot of ideas and policies that are in line with President Trump.
You know, when he's speaking about, you know, ending the DEI, you know, ideology.
We said that in 2018 when we created the People's Party.
Because before that, I worked 15 years in the private sector, in the financial sector.
And after that, I decided to jump into politics in 2006 with the Conservatives here in Canada and Stephen Hopper.
And I was a minister under Stephen Hopper.
But when Stephen Hopper resigned in 2015, I did run to be the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.
I had 49% of the vote.
But I tried to work with the leader that, you know, the members elected, Andrew Scheer at that time in 2017.
But they were not conservative and they didn't want to speak about real conservative ideas and values.
And our Conservative Party in Canada is only conservative in name, like your Reno in the US.
So I decided to create the People's Party in 2018.
And on our website, you can see our platform.
Yes, we are fighting for ending that woke ideology.
I'm the only politician in Canada who is saying there's only two sexes.
Now, if you're a politician, a mainstream politician in Canada...
You cannot say that.
They're very afraid to say that, but that's the reality.
So we are fighting that, quote, ideology like President Trump is doing.
We are for peace.
You know, our government here in Canada with the opposition, with the Conservative Party and Pierre Poliev, they all supported in the beginning the war in Ukraine.
I said it is not our war, and our country did spend $20 billion.
Of aid to Ukraine, and I was against that.
So, like President Trump, and I'm very pleased that today, President Trump did have a discussion with Putin, and there's a ceasefire, and I hope that we'll have a negotiation of a long-standing peace between Ukraine and Russia.
So, our policies are a little bit like President Trump, and that's revolution that we want to do here in Canada.
Well, that's really fantastic to hear.
And, you know, our perception as Americans is that even though the left in America is woke, that Canada has been super woke.
Yes. Right.
Especially in the cities, right?
Yeah, absolutely in the cities.
But just to tell you about that, when President Trump was elected, a couple of days before the presidential election, they did a poll in Canada and did it as Canadians.
For which party, if they can't vote in the US, they will have voted.
And they said, you know, Harris and the Democrat at 65%.
Yes, you know, because our mainstream media is very woke, very leftist.
We don't have Fox News in Canada.
You know, we have Radio Canada, CBC, CTV, and they are leftist.
So the mainstream media is manipulating the public opinion.
And for me, you know, the only way to be effective by campaigning is to do like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did during his campaign for the presidential campaign.
He did a lot of podcasts and he was very active on social media and the mainstream media in the U.S. did cancel Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
They're doing the same thing with me because they know that, you know, if we have more visibility, more coverage, Our party will grow faster, and they don't want that.
Well, and that reminds me to ask you this question.
You know, yeah, you mentioned RFK Jr. getting cancelled.
But in Romania, the government banned Georgescu from even being able to run in the upcoming election, even though he is arguably the most popular candidate, or at least a very viable candidate, right?
Do you fear that the Canadian government may in some way conspire to try to ban you from the ballots?
Yes, yes, they are doing that.
Not from the ballot, but, you know, at every election in Canada, you have the leaders' debates on TV, you know, one in French, one in English.
And, you know, it's a very, it's a good debate.
I was able to participate in the leaders' debate in 2019, but at the second election for us in 2021, because I was the only leader who was speaking for freedom of choice against, you know, the vaccine passport and all these draconian measures on COVID.
They didn't want me, so they created a rule to exclude me.
And now that's the same thing at this election that may be called next week.
They create a new rule and they said for Bernier, you know, he won't be able to participate.
So they try effectively to cancel me and they don't want me to have that debate because, you know, we are not a globalist political party.
We are fighting for Canadians and all of these other leaders are globalists with the UN and the world.
We're a health organization, so they don't want us.
And so what they're doing, they created a new rule to be sure that I won't be able to participate.
We did that, the government and the opposition.
So, yeah, that's a kind of a censorship, because actually, we know...
It's working.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, yeah, it's working.
Yeah, actually, we know that about, you know...
About one million people did vote for us in Canada the last election.
So they are censoring that voice.
The People's Party voice won't be at these leader debates.
So that's a big challenge for us.
But anyway, you know...
Like Jordan Peterson told me a day, Maxime, you know, the mainstream media, they don't have any growth there.
The future is with people like you, Mike, and, you know, the social media.
So I'm there.
Wow, that's fantastic.
Well, thank you for spending time with us.
Now, I have many more questions for you.
So one question is about your current Prime Minister, Carney, who I understand, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but in my opinion, He's an implant with a lot of ties to the British Empire,
and he was a former Bank of England guy.
Is he a legit Canadian from your point of view?
I mean, what do Canadians think about this guy?
Yeah, he's the globalist-in-chief.
He was working for the UN.
He's a big believer in the climate change, and we are living right now in a...
Climate urgency.
And, you know, he's in line with the UN, with the World Economic Forum.
He's part of the elites.
And so I don't know why they decided to choose him, the Liberals, but actually, you know, he's there to represent the elites.
And that's why, you know, for him, he was, yes, the governor of the Bank of England, but also the governor of the Bank of Canada.
And you must know that he was against a Brexit in the UK when he was there.
So for us, I hope that we can have that election as soon as possible to have a real debate.
And, you know, people must know him and the reality about Mark Carney.
But now the mainstream media in Canada are putting him, you know, like it's the best leader and they are promoting him.
Just like they did Trudeau.
To change that.
They made Trudeau look like the return of Jesus or something.
But I'm going to miss Trudeau because he was such great material for clown show satire.
Every week he would do something insane.
But speaking of insane things, as I recall, I don't recall his position, but Ford of Canada, one of the leaders, was threatening To put a surcharge on all electricity exports to the United States,
right? Yeah, he tried to do that.
Doug Ford is the Premier of Ontario.
That's the biggest province in Canada.
And, you know, he decided, you know, oh, OK, you know, we don't like you, Trump.
And, you know, we're going to have that trade war.
So he decided to do that.
And a couple of minutes later, President Trump said, if you do that, I will double my tariff.
But, you know, you are ten times bigger than us.
We cannot win a trade war with the US.
And the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, has to just forget that idea.
That's not the way to negotiate.
Put everything on the table.
We have a lot of tariffs that we are imposing to you and other countries.
You know, I believe in free trade, a real free trade that's good for everybody.
And we don't have that right now.
We have a managed trade with you, with the US.
We need to change that.
Well, I completely agree.
I think you and I are both students of Austrian economics.
We believe in free trade.
And yeah, Ford found out real fast.
Actually, it was Ford Fafo.
He found out.
You don't threaten Donald J. Trump.
That is just never going to work, right?
You need to find a totally different way to do this.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the same Doug Ford that years ago had a cocaine problem or a video?
That was his brother.
Oh, his brother.
Yeah, his brother.
He was the mayor of Toronto, and now he's not with us anymore.
But yeah, that was his brother.
He was the mayor of Toronto, and he died a couple of years ago.
Oh, wow.
I'm sorry to hear that.
So, okay, I had the Ford name, but thank you for correcting me on that point.
So, there's one other...
Again, I apologize.
I don't know the title of the woman.
But I think it was Freeland who said that they wanted to partner with a nuclear-capable nation like Denmark to defend Canada against America, which might be considered a threat.
And we all just, we couldn't stop laughing.
It was like, oh my God, is she really saying this?
This is so, we can't even take it seriously.
It's so funny.
Yeah, you're right.
Freeland, and she was the finance minister under the Trudeau government.
And, you know, she's not the finance minister anymore.
But yeah, she said, you know, we need to have a new relationship with other nations and France and UK to protect ourselves.
You know, Trump, what he wants to do is to, you know, bring back home the manufacturing industry.
And he wants to put, you know, Americans first and his country first.
And that's okay.
The best way to react to that is, you know, to lower our taxes to businesses.
To cut our, we have a capital gains tax in Canada, to cut that to lower taxes to...
To Canadians, to have a real deregulation, a smaller government, that's the best way to compete with that, just to show to our businesses and our industries here in Canada that they can be competitive.
But now, you know, they are not competitive.
And, you know, we have a big, fat government in Ottawa that is taxing everything, regulating everything, and it's not working.
And that's why we are maybe in a recession right now in Canada.
But the worst of all that, the leader of the Conservatives and the leader of the Liberals said that when they started that trade war with President Trump, they said, you know, yes, that will hurt us economically.
Prices will go up and we may go into a recession, but we must do that for the goods of Canadians, for the interests of Canadians.
That's the opposite.
If you want to work for the interests of Canadians, You don't impose tariffs because we are the ones who are paying these tariffs.
It's an audit tax.
You just, you know, be sure that your economy will be more productive and they're not doing the right thing for Canada and they are not working in the best interest of Canadians right now.
You know, it seems to me that Canada is a nation that is blessed with many natural resources.
Very rich in energy in particular, for example.
In certain areas, Canada also has access to the Atlantic and the Pacific, right?
Just like the continental United States does.
Canada has a lot of wealth, actually.
But much like we saw in the United States, a lot of the Canadian wealth is being, you know, there's fraud and corruption and cabals like you were talking about.
The free market is not allowed to operate.
So why is it that...
The Canadian voters still supporting the Liberal Party don't realize that they're kind of harming themselves with that policy, that they would all be better off with more freedom and free trade.
Absolutely. And that's why, you know, after nine years of the Liberals in government, I believe that Canadians would be ready for a change.
I hope so.
But you're right about our natural resources.
You know, we cannot build pipelines across our country because we want to sell our oil and gas to you, the U.S., yes, but also to other countries.
We need pipelines that will go to the West, to the Pacific, and other pipelines that will go to the East, the Atlantic.
And, you know, our politicians are listening, the radical environmentalists on that, and they don't want to, you know, take control and say enough is enough.
You know, we need to build pipelines for the future of this country.
And Alberta is the province where you have a lot of oil and gas there, and they're very mad at the federal government because, you know, they are paying a lot by the equalization formula.
It's a formula that we have in our constitution where rich provinces...
Are giving money to poor provinces through the federal government, and Alberta is a rich provinces.
But because of that, they're giving a lot of money to poor provinces, provinces that don't want to develop their own natural resources.
If they do that, they'll be richer, but they don't.
So we need to have that discussion in Canada.
But the radical left environmentalists are very powerful, and our politicians are listening to them.
Well, as a Texan myself, I feel a strong resonance and fellowship with the citizens of Alberta there.
I mean, we've talked about this for a long time, about how really the citizens of Alberta are probably the closest to our value system.
They're hard workers.
They want transparency.
They don't want handouts.
They just want to be left alone.
To build wealth.
But yeah, you have to have the pipelines.
I mean, Canada could be exporting LNG, liquefied natural gas, to Europe right now and earning billions of dollars a year from that if they would just build a pipeline.
That doesn't even count Asia on the other side of the country.
It's just crazy.
And the future is going to be determined by energy so much.
Yeah, actually, there's, you know, oil and gas and shale gas and a lot of, you know, natural resources that in my own province here in Quebec, I'm in Montreal right now, there's a moratorium on the exploitation of shale gas.
There's a lot of shale gas, so let's do it.
But they don't want to do it.
And so we are, you know, it's not going well economically in Canada.
Our purchasing power is going down.
Our standard of living is going down.
We have that inflation.
Actually, they are telling us that the inflation in Canada is about 2%.
That's the official inflation, but we know that it must be about 5%.
So we need to do these bold changes, and we are promoting that as a national political party.
Okay, that's really great to hear because...
I want to bring in something else, which is AI and data centers.
So here I am in Texas.
There is almost a trillion dollars of investment, and literally a trillion, that's not a typo, that has already been mentioned as coming to Texas to build AI data centers.
Trump announced half a trillion with three companies, and then other companies joined in.
Well, Canada is uniquely positioned.
To be a leader in technology and AI development, language models and automation and so on, but you have to have energy to do that.
If you can't build energy infrastructure, then you can't build data centers, and then what's left?
You can't join the future.
Absolutely. And we have a lot of hydroelectricity here in Quebec, so that must be something that the Quebec government can look at, absolutely, to have data center in Montreal or in Quebec.
The hydroelectricity, it's a good source of energy.
We are not, you know, like Ford said, we have a lot of energy, hydroelectricity, and so we can export it.
But also, we can be sure that being able to attract other businesses that will come because we have all that energy.
But we need to exploit our energy first.
And, you know, there's still a lot of resources that are not there.
And our governments say, no, moratorium, we won't exploit that.
We must preserve the environment.
But we are in 2025.
There's a way to exploit natural resources.
And at the same time, respecting the environment.
Well, exactly.
There are careful ways to extract natural resources and respect the environment at the same time.
And I would say the future of Canada depends on the future of energy.
And, you know, the thing about you mentioned hydroelectric energy, which is great.
However, it's not scalable on demand.
Whereas a nuclear power plant or a natural gas power plant, you can scale it up or down.
You turn the knob, right?
You get more energy when you need it.
Hydroelectric dams, you don't.
And solar, you don't.
And wind, you don't.
You have to wait for the wind to blow or the sun to come up, right?
So it's different.
You can't scale that stuff.
Now we see the impact of that.
Bad energy policy like in Germany right now.
They put everything in solar and sun and wind.
But that's not sustainable, like you just said.
And now they are going back to nuclear energy that is clean.
But, you know, there's a cost for that right now.
They decided to close all their facilities for nuclear energy a couple of years ago.
Now they have to just reopen it and work for it, but it will take years before that will be in function.
Well, I will kind of satirically state that throughout history, there's no decision that the government of Germany has made that was the right decision at first.
So they excel at being on the wrong side of history, but that's just my opinion as a loudmouth Texan.
But anyway...
Let's go to a contentious issue between the United States and Canada.
And just to be clear, look, I love the German people.
I love the people of the UK.
I love the people of Canada.
I love the people of Taiwan and Japan and wherever.
It's these corrupt governments that are the problem.
But this contentious issue now is Trump appears to be saying, well, he has said it blatantly that he wants Canada to join the United States as the 51st...
It wouldn't be just one state, number one.
You have 38 million people, I think, something like that, right?
And the geography, etc.
But this is rubbing the Canadians the wrong way, absolutely.
What do you make of this, the Trump and the reaction from Canada?
He's using that in the negotiation, and here our politicians are saying, Yeah, we are sovereign and forget it.
But, you know, we need to have a new deal.
And why is he saying that?
I believe that we can have a new economic deal with the U.S. and a new defense deal with the U.S. Because, you know, for Trump, the borders are important and our northern borders, you know, is very important to the Arctic.
We need to also protect our borders, northern borders at the Arctic.
And, you know, let's have that discussion.
But being the 51 states, I'm like Trump in Canada.
You know, I'm promoting Canadians and, you know, the sovereignty of our country without having any interference with the globalist organization, the UN, the World Economic Front, the World Health Organization.
You know, I want us to be sovereign and independent.
But we can achieve that and at the same time having a very good relationship with the U.S. When Trump is saying that, he knows that, you know, the leader here don't like it and they will jump at that.
But for me, you know, it's a way to have a better position at the negotiation table by using things like that, 51 states and governor of Canada.
But, you know, it's not serious.
Well, if Canada did become the 51st state, I think Doug Ford would be out of a job.
That's one thing.
But let's talk about Greenland because it is viable.
There is a pathway for the U.S. to literally purchase Greenland and to make it part of the United States, which would put the U.S. on your northern border.
Wow, that's almost comedy, right?
But Canada would be...
In between, you know, continental U.S. and then Alaska and then Greenland, it was like, we've got you on all three corners.
You know what I mean?
I don't know what will happen there, but, you know, I think that Trump will have better success with the Panama Canal.
You know, I think he has a good point there, and they're in a kind of negotiation.
And they just had an election in Groenman, and they were saying that they want to stay independent.
But, you know, I understand the position of President Trump, the security of the U.S. He wants to be able to control the northern passage and, you know, having the security over there.
You can do that by having a good deal with the U.S. and having a U.S.-based.
So it's a thing that, you know, you can...
You can have as a government.
You can be part of a discussion.
Yeah, good point.
Maybe these are all sort of the opening rounds of negotiating tactics, in essence.
If you know him, he did things like that in the private sector before.
I've read his book, The Art of a Deal, and that's the way to negotiate.
Just take what is the most important and forget the rest.
Yeah, and lead off with your most outrageous request that you can possibly think of.
That's a Trump special right there.
Well, we love the fact that Trump is president here in the United States, and especially me being in Texas, we are seeing a lot of economic expansion now, even though overall the economy is suffering some because of all the debt and inflation and money printing and so on.
But there is clearly, things are building towards an economic, Like a golden age for America and Trump.
And my concern is that if your policies that you are advocating as the leader of the People's Party of Canada, if your policies don't get at least partially embraced, and I'm not saying this from a point of view of arrogance at all, but I think that the US economy might leave Canada's economy in the dust.
You have a point there.
I said, you know, we are the last hope for Canada because, as you may know, there's an independentist movement here in Quebec with the PQ, the Parti Québécois, and also in Alberta because, like I said in the beginning, they're fed up with the federal government.
And, you know, there's the equalization formula that is not fair for every province, must change.
And I said, you know, if we don't, you know...
I've radical decentralization of the federal government.
Our federal government right now is not respecting the Constitution.
The federal government in Ottawa is interfering in provincial jurisdictions.
We need to go back to our Constitution, giving more autonomy to provinces, having a smaller government in Ottawa that will respect provinces' authority and jurisdictions and respect Canadians.
If we don't do that, this country is going to, you know, Well,
I suspect that things are building toward an independence movement.
You mentioned Quebec, but also Alberta.
I just want to ask you, just to clarify for our audience, let's help educate the Americans on this.
When I'm referring to people from Ottawa, I call them Ottowans, right?
Okay, and then how about Alberta?
How do I refer to those people?
Albertan. Albertan, okay, okay.
It's nothing crazy.
Okay, what about Quebec?
Quebecers. Quebecers, okay, okay.
Thank you.
I would have missed that one.
But there are all these different cultures there.
And Quebec, years back, there was a very strong independence movement that just never gained enough traction.
But it seems like if there are economic problems stemming from all the government waste, corruption, and fraud, that that's going to spontaneously give rise to more of a grassroots attempted revolt.
I don't mean in a kinetic way, but a political revolt.
Does that make sense?
You have a point there, Mike, because...
It's because of the economy, but also because of mass immigration.
As you know, with my accent, I'm coming from Quebec, I'm a Francophone, and in Quebec, there's the Quebec government at the provincial level, and Quebecers are fighting to keep their language, their history, their identity.
And with mass immigration that is happening now under the Liberals, and more and more people are coming to our country, and they don't speak English or French.
And they cannot integrate into our society.
And we have also, in Canada, the Multiculturalism Act.
We are promoting multiculturalism.
It's a failure.
It didn't work in Europe, didn't work in Germany, didn't work in the UK.
We are promoting that.
What is happening is that foreigners are coming to Montreal, to Quebec.
The federal government is telling them, keep your culture, keep your values, don't integrate into the Quebec society.
And, you know, everything will be okay.
So because of that, actually right now, the PQ, the independent political party at the provincial level in Quebec, is winning in the polls.
If there's an election at the provincial level in Quebec right now, the PQ will win.
Actually, they had a by-election yesterday.
In Quebec and, you know, the PQ candidate did win.
So, yes, the independentist movement is not dying in Quebec.
And to be sure that Quebecers will be happy to stay in Canada, we need to respect provincial jurisdictions and stop that mass immigration.
And the federal government is not doing that.
So the provincial election in Quebec will be in 2026.
And so I don't know what will happen, but for me...
You know, I'm speaking for a united Canada.
And if you respect the Constitution, you will be able to just, you know, have everybody happy.
But now you have Quebecers that are not happy.
You have some Albertans that are not happy.
So we need to...
The problem is the federal government.
So that's why I'm saying we, the People's Party, we are the only hope for this country because we have the right, you know, policy for respecting provincial jurisdictions.
And yes, you're right, this country has been built and there's not only one culture.
You know, Canada is a distinct country.
We have, you know, the culture in Alberta is very different than the culture in Quebec.
The culture in PEI, Prince Edward Island, is very different than the one downtown Toronto.
But that's our country.
And the only way to keep everybody together is to have that decentralization and a smarter government in Ottawa.
But we don't have that right now.
And that's why you have these independentist movements that are growing a little bit in our country.
Yeah, that's really important to note because, you know, in the U.S. we have the Tenth Amendment and states' rights.
And in Canada, you have a much stronger overarching federal, what we would call a federal government.
You know, your parliamentary structure does not, it's been abused and it doesn't allow currently as much independence at the provincial level as should be actually in place.
But the natural result of this is that people will be unhappy.
Like you said, the Albertans are increasingly unhappy as they should be.
And frankly, under Trudeau, he was a WEF globalist, right?
And he allowed the illegal immigration.
He built it.
He encouraged it, just like Joe Biden and his administration did in the United States.
But I did want to ask you, sir, what ethnicities are mostly being imported into Canada as migrants or illegals?
Right now, under the Trudeau government, that was people from Africa and also India.
And so, like I said, when you import the third world, your country will become the third world.
And you know, all cultures are not equal.
Sorry, that's the reality.
But under the logic or the philosophy or the doctrine of multiculturalism, the base of that is all culture is equal, so everybody can go in any country and be happy.
No, we need to protect our culture.
It's very different.
But people, you know, in the mass immigration, we had a lot of fake students coming from India that came here and, you know, just to stay in the country.
And Trudeau did allow that.
They had an international student permit.
And after that, they didn't want to leave the country and go back to their country of origin.
When they had their diploma, they want to stay here.
So, you know, they're becoming illegals.
But what is happening is the Trudeau, the Liberal government now, and the opposition, the Conservatives, want to give them permanent residency.
So these people are not respecting our legislations.
They are not leaving the country after their study.
They want to stay here.
And we are telling them, it's okay.
We'll give you a nice gift.
You don't respect our legislation, but stay here.
We're going to give you permanent residency.
So that's crazy.
That's why we need to have that moratorium as soon as possible.
That reminds me of what's happening in Western Europe as well.
You know, France and Germany and the UK in particular, but other countries, are just allowing themselves to be completely overrun.
It's not about assimilation.
It seems to be a globalist agenda to replace the people of the UK, or in your case, to replace Canadians.
But speaking...
Yes? Yeah, go ahead.
Well, and my point is that you don't have a massive population in the world, especially compared to India.
Was I right?
Are there 38 million Canadians?
Is that about right?
40 million right now.
40 million.
Okay. Versus India is what?
1.3 billion?
Something like that, right?
So you can't have unlimited immigration.
You'll lose Canada.
Yeah. And actually, what you said about replacement, you know, with mass immigration, Last year, you know, the growth of our population was 3.2% if you compare that to the precedent year.
3.2% growth of our population.
The average growth of population of the Western countries was 0.2%.
And us, 3.2.
That's why it is mass immigration.
And 97% of our growth, the growth of our population, is coming from immigration.
It is not Canadian families who are making babies.
No, it's coming from mass immigration.
97% of the growth of our population is coming from mass immigration.
So if you go like that for a couple of years, That is the replacement of Canadians.
That is, in fact, when the growth of our population is coming, almost 100% from immigrants, it is the replacement of our population.
Wow. Well, and Western Europe has figured out an even more insidious way to achieve replacement, which would be to recruit Brits into the military and send them to die on the front lines in Ukraine and then replace them.
You know, it's like, what?
Why do you want war?
And as I understand it, even Canada has pledged troops to Ukraine.
And it's like, what does Canada have to do with the border between Ukraine and Russia?
Nothing. Yeah, we don't have anything to do.
We didn't send troops, but actually we sent ammunitions, resources, and money, all together $20 billion.
And we don't have that money.
That's why, you know, that money, you know, we have huge deficit, a huge debt.
And if I can speak about the debt, the Trudeau, you know, it took us 148 years to have a debt of $600 billion.
And Trudeau was able to double our debt in Canada, double it in nine years.
Now our debt is $1,200 billion, thanks to Trudeau and the Liberal government.
So we need to be serious about that, and we are not right now in Canada.
Well, I will say in this case, America is number one because we have $36 trillion in debt versus your $1.2 trillion in debt.
So we are winning.
We are winning the debt game, big time.
Yeah, but we are only 40 million people also.
And like you, you know, to pay for the interest of our debt annually, it's more than the national defense budget.
Twice the national defense budget.
I think you in the U.S., it's the entire national defense budget that is going to pay the interest on your debt.
So we are about the same.
So it's a crazy time.
No, I hear you.
But I mean, look, we're 10 times your population, let's say, but we're 30 times your debt.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no.
You are in a big, big challenge there.
There's a big challenge there for you.
Bigger than us.
Yes. Yeah.
So. Let's talk about finance here in the few minutes we have left because it's pretty clear to us.
I mean, I interview a lot of experts in the realm of finance and banking and gold and things like that.
There's no way out of this debt bubble in America other than printing, printing currency.
What about Canada?
It's the same thing.
Our central bank doesn't have any gold.
We don't have any gold reserve.
We are the only central bank in Western countries.
That doesn't have any gold reserve.
I know that we may have a monetary reset that will happen because with all these debts in the US, in Europe, in Canada...
Something will happen and maybe we'll have a new gold standard.
I don't know.
And there's the BRICS countries also who are buying gold and looking at a new monetary unit that can maybe replace the US dollar.
So something is happening, but our country is not in a good position right now.
We need to be serious about that and our central bank needs to buy gold as a reserve like other central banks.
You know, it's funny that you say that because apparently I have more Canadian gold than the Canadian Central Bank because I have Canadian maple leaf gold from the Royal Mint or whatever it's called there.
I mean, it's good gold.
I mean, gold is gold, right?
Let me give out your ex-accountant here.
It's Maxime Bernier.
So I've got it up on my screen here.
I was thrown off by this.
I imagine Americans get your first name wrong a lot, but it's M-A-X-I-M-E.
Max Bernier, that's okay also.
Okay, Max Bernier.
The account is Maxime Bernier, yeah, on X. And people can follow us.
And if you are a Canadian also, you know.
They can, you know, help us and donate.
You need to be a Canadian citizen to be able to donate to a political party.
But, you know, and this party will be ready for the next election.
And I'm looking to that.
I hope that this election will be called as soon as possible.
Well, I really hope you gain more traction in this next election because based on the interviews that I'm doing, I believe the Democrat...
In America, it's mostly done.
I mean, they've destroyed themselves.
They are not going to rise back to power anytime soon.
If anybody's watching from Canada in the government and you're hoping that this is just a Trump blip, no, no.
America has pivoted for good.
We are never going back to the tyranny, the authoritarianism, the corruption, the fraud, the child mutilations, the wide open borders.
None of that stuff.
We are never going back to that again.
Now, it may not always be Trump, obviously.
This is his last term, but it's going to be a Trump attitude from here forward.
So hopefully Canada can find a way to work with Trump so that we can all benefit.
Yeah, and that's our goal.
That's our goal also.
And, you know, if we're doing that, that would be good for Canada, good for the U.S. Let's be serious about that.
We must stop that trade war and, you know, being at the negotiation table together to have a better deal.
And we can have a better deal.
Trump has some points about, you know, milk, dairy, and poultry.
And, you know, we are imposing a lot of tariffs.
Let's look at it together.
That's the only solution.
I completely agree.
We need to sit down and find our common ground and how we mutually benefit from each other's specialties and our resources that we have.
And also, if Justin Trudeau is looking for a job, I hear that Ukraine needs a new president.
So be sure to let him know.
Yeah, I will.
That would be good.
That would be good for us.
Yeah, just get him out of there.
Hey, go be a clown on another continent, please.
Please. Oh, my God.
All right.
Anything else that you want to add before we wrap this up today?
No, Mike, I'm very pleased, very happy that we were able to have that discussion.
I think, you know, for me as the leader of the People's Party, I'm looking, you know, to the future right now and it will be bright.
It's a question of time.
It is a little bit more difficult in Canada to elect a new political party like us because we have, you know, a parliamentary system.
It is the first past the post.
There's no proportionality in our electoral system.
But, you know, we have a strong team and we'll be ready for the next election.
I'm saying to people who are viewing our interview, they can go on our website peoplespartyofcanada.ca and read our platform if they want to know.
But our goal is to fight for common sense and having that common sense and free markets revolution in Canada and keeping, you know, our social fabric.
Like it was now with mass immigration, they are destroying our social fabric.
We need to work hard.
And Canada is a very proud and independent country.
And if we want to keep that country, like I said, you know, I hope that Canadians will support us.
Our goal is to do that.
Yeah, I like what you said right there.
And as an American, I just want to have mutual benefit with Canada.
We don't need...
I don't want to make Canada the 51st state.
That's not even possible.
And I love Quebec, how you have your, what did you say, Quebecer culture, and then the Albertans have their culture.
That's the way we like it.
In America, we live among a true multicultural environment.
I'm in Texas, and then there's an East Coast culture, there's a New York culture, there's a California culture.
That's the way it's supposed to be.
It doesn't have to be homogenized.
It's okay to be different people with different backgrounds and speaking different languages, you know?
Yeah, and people must integrate our culture, and you're right.
Now you know what is happening, and you're coming from third-world countries, and we are promoting your culture instead of promoting Canadian history, Canadian culture.
For example, we have people coming from China, from Chinese origin, that they are Canadians, but the federal government is giving money to celebrate, for example, the Chinese New Year.
I don't have anything against the Chinese New Year, but the federal government must He must not promote that.
He must promote our history, our culture, and using Canadians' money for that.
If you want to promote the Chinese New Year, it must come from their citizens, not the federal government.
The federal government is doing the opposite right now.
He's promoting every culture except the founding culture from this country.
Of course.
That seems to be the case.
That's what European countries are doing as well.
Just extraordinary.
Well, I got to say, this has been a really delightful conversation.
Let me give out your website one more time.
It's peoplespartyofcanada.ca peoplespartyofcanada.ca and Mr. Bernier, it's been a pleasure getting to meet you and speak with you and you're welcome back here anytime.
Thank you, Mike.
I really appreciated that.
Let's stay in touch.
And be strong and free.
We are working, you know, to have that point of view out there and more people if they understand that a big fat government is not helping anybody.
So it must work.
And like I said, you know, I'm working for people.
I want people to have more freedom like you in the US.
You're doing the same.
And, you know, I'm very pleased with the start of that revolution coming from President Trump.
And I hope that Canada will follow at the next election.
Thank you again, Mike.
Have a nice day.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Maxime.
It's been a pleasure.
All right.
Wow. What a great guest.
And it's just so great to hear this perspective from a political party in Canada, given how woke the other parties have been.
And that's true in Western European governments as well.
But wow, history is unfolding in real time right now, folks.
We want Canada to be a really abundant, productive, and free neighbor so that we can achieve trade and peace with each other and also exchange energy and goods and ideas and all the other things that make this continent really great again.
So, let's support Canada moving in this right direction here, a direction that's pro-human, that's pro-liberty, that's actually pro-reason, if you ask me.
So, that's peoplespartyofcanada.ca.
So thank you all for joining me today.
I'm Mike Adams, a Texan here in the energy-rich, technology-rich state of Texas that's going to be giving Canada a run for the money on who can have the most energy and technology in the next 10 years.
Texas is really moving full speed ahead.

God bless America and God bless Canada, too.
Is it okay?
Can I say God bless Canada as an American?
Is that allowed?
Or have I violated some horrible rule that I didn't know about?
Mr. Bernier, can I say that?
Oh, yes, you can, for sure.
Absolutely. Okay.
And I can say the same here also.
Okay, fantastic.
God bless you also.
