Ezra Levant dissects Chrystia Freeland’s resignation—allegedly over Trudeau’s refusal to let her own the unpopular fall economic statement—while exposing her Nazi-linked family history, fascist symbolism, and controversial actions like freezing bank accounts under the Emergencies Act. Freeland’s ties to Soros, Schwab, and her failed leadership at Thompson Reuters Next highlight perceived incompetence, yet Trudeau clings to power amid cabinet chaos, eight ministerial resignations, and Freeland’s "vibe session" gaffe. With Canada’s $62B deficit and military unpreparedness, Levant argues Trudeau’s stubbornness—echoed in his "I fight and I win" mantra—threatens national stability, predicting he’ll delay an election until 2025 to avoid defeat. [Automatically generated summary]
Normally my colleagues do this honor, but today I've got so much to say because Christia Freeland, the deputy prime minister and the finance minister, has resigned from cabinet in a flourish, in a bombshell.
And it was so interesting because over the weekend, she was posting videos in her capacity as finance minister and talking about the future and making promises.
And in no way was she telegraphing that she intended to quit this morning.
And the reason that's interesting is that today, in fact, this morning, the government was set to introduce its fall economic statement, sort of an update on the budget, sort of before we go into Christmas, here's how it's going.
We'll adjust a few numbers.
Here's how revenues are going.
Here's how expenses, here's how deficits are going.
And it's been sort of weird over the last couple of weeks as people have said, when are you going to have this fall economic update?
And Christia Freeland wouldn't really answer.
And she said it'll happen before the end of the year.
It was really strange.
It was clear she didn't want to have the bad news hung around her neck.
And there seemed to be a quarrel.
Last night, the National Post had a scoop, they said, that the $250 per person Christmas gift that Trudeau was promising might be scrapped.
So there was obviously a lot of tension out there.
And then this astonishing letter published to Twitter this morning by Christia Freeland, an ambush.
Trudeau had apparently on Friday told her, I want you to read this fall economic update, and then I want to fire you as finance minister and have you take some other job and presumably put his buddy Mark Carney as the new finance minister.
So just to understand, Trudeau fired her and then said, oh, but I want you to go out and brand yourself, your last public act, as finance minister to take ownership of this disastrous budget update.
And Christia Freeland must have nodded as she does.
She does a lot of nodding.
And this morning, just an incredible letter.
I want to read the whole thing in full, if I may.
Go ahead and put it on the screen.
It was dated today.
Dear Prime Minister, it's been the honor of my life to serve in government working for Canada and Canadians.
We have accomplished a lot together.
On Friday, you told me you no longer want me to serve as your finance minister and offered me another position in the cabinet.
She doesn't say which one.
Upon reflection, I have concluded that the only honest and viable path is for me to resign from the cabinet.
So she's not just, basically if she can't stay on as finance minister, she's done, she says.
To be effective, a minister must speak on behalf of the prime minister and with his full confidence in making your decision.
You made clear that I no longer credibly enjoy that confidence and possess the authority that comes with it.
I think that's true.
For the past number of weeks, you and I have found ourselves at odds about the best path forward for Canada.
I think that's probably true, although she certainly said whatever he told her to say, didn't she?
Our country today faces a grave challenge.
The incoming administration of the United States is pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25% tariffs.
We need to take that threat extremely seriously.
Well, I think here she's fudging it a bit.
Trump doesn't want a trade war now.
He just wants us to close our borders to illegal drugs and illegal migrants.
But Trudeau and Freeland love to fight Trump.
So they're saying, well, we got to fight.
How about just fix the border?
But I'll read a little bit more about what she says.
That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war.
That means eschewing costly political gimmicks.
Wow.
Well, she's obviously talking about this GST holiday and the $250 bonus.
Costly political gimmicks.
Isn't that great?
Just the other day, she was defending them.
which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment.
It's sort of funny that she says we need to keep our fiscal powder dry so we have reserves.
We don't have any reserves.
I mean, it's a $62 billion deficit.
What reserves?
They burned those long ago.
Let me read the letter.
That means pushing back against America-first economic nationalism with a determined effort to fight for capital and investment and the jobs they bring.
That means working in good faith and humility with the premiers of the provinces and territories of our great and diverse country and building a true Team Canada response.
Olivia, can you pull up the clip of the president of SoftBank making his announcement with Trump today?
I want to show that in a moment because it's relevant here.
But what you see here is Christian Freeland saying we should be working with the premiers because you've seen the premiers take the lead here.
You've seen the premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith, announce drones and a border patrol and a red zone and sniffer dogs to patrol the border.
You've seen Francois Legault, the Premier of Quebec, actually meet with Trump very briefly at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and said, look, no one wants a terror war.
Let's fix the border.
So you have premiers saying, let's fix the border.
Other than Doug Ford, who seems just to be mimicking whatever Trudeau says, Freeland is saying, let's have a Team Canada approach.
It sort of makes me laugh to fight for capital and investment and the jobs they bring.
You know, it was tough enough for Canada to fight against the United States economy when Trudeau was ratcheting up and Christia Freeland was ratcheting up the carbon tax every April Fool's Day and all the other punishments they put on.
But now that Trump is in, he's not even in office yet.
The other day he, I don't know if you can find this one, Olivia, on short notice.
Trump the other day, just apropos of nothing, tweeted, anyone who comes to America with a billion dollars or more, we will expedite you through all the regulations, especially the environmental ones.
I don't know if you saw that.
It was just, it wasn't pegged to any news.
He just sort of said, it was a very short tweet.
He just said, if you can look for the word billion, if you search Trump and then billion, maybe it shows up.
It's not critical that you find it, but it's just, I mean, if you are a billionaire anywhere in the world, Trump wants you to bring your money to America so badly that he'll just, he's thinking of it and he just announces it.
Bring your billion dollars plus to America and we will roll out the red carpet and we'll expedite the red tape, especially the environmental red tape.
Just a statement, but it flies the flag, doesn't it?
That America is back.
Their economy is going to roar again.
And you can have that or you can have the European Union, which is regulating you to death.
Or you can have Canada that's taxing you to death.
You know, one of the most successful Canadian companies is a tech company called Shopify.
You've probably seen Shopify.
It powers so many online stores, by the way.
I'm surprised they haven't moved to America.
I mean, it just must be tough operating in Canada when they just look across to where most of their customers are.
And don't worry about it.
It was just a one-line tweet about him saying, billionaires welcome, because look at a billionaire who took him up on his offer.
Maybe that's what happened.
Maybe Trump knew that the president of SoftBank, which is one of the biggest investment financial companies in Japan.
Maybe he sort of was doing a deal with this guy and it was still under wraps and he just tweeted, hey, any billionaire who comes here will help out.
Just take a listen to this guy.
This is the president of SoftBank.
He's also a major shareholder in it.
This is one of Japan's richest men, Korean by ethnicity.
He just, apropos nothing, comes to America and announces, well, I'll let you listen to him.
Look at this stunning announcement.
So in Canada, you have a total meltdown of our political system.
Our finance minister was fired or quit.
I'm not sure the best way to describe it.
Our deficit is at a record level.
Carbon taxes are going up.
We're an absolute laughingstock.
And by contrast, look what's going on in America.
Take a look at this guy.
To go, and we were discussing.
And President Trump said, MASA, you know, David is not enough.
Maybe, you know, go for more, right?
That's all right.
I'm going to ask him right now, would you make it $200 billion or something?
Well, even in that, he can actually afford to do that.
Would you do that?
Well, my promise is 100, but he's not asking to do more.
I think, you know, with your leadership, my partner with you, with your support, I will try to make it happen.
That's good.
All right.
200.
He'll make it happen.
200 billion investment.
He is a great negotiator.
He's a brilliant guy and did an unbelievable job.
And the people of Japan and all over the world are very proud of him.
They have tremendous respect for him.
So what he does, what he just did.
And I would be surprised if what didn't go to two.
When you say you'll try, I know you'll do it.
I will really try.
And I need your support, though.
You'll have my support.
Aye.
Oh, fantastic.
Thank you, Master.
Fantastic.
There was some banter there.
His announcement was, let me just tell you what his announcement was.
It wasn't clear there.
He's going to invest over the next four years, $100 billion to create 100,000 jobs in America in different portfolios, in different sectors.
And when you think about it, that's pretty incredible math.
That's basically a million dollars per job, which is credible.
And it's not a government grant.
It's not a tax.
It's not a subsidy.
It's a $100 billion investment.
And it's unthinkable that such an investment would have been done under Biden or Harris.
And it's unthinkable that that would be done in Canada.
And you saw Trump, even after the deal was done, trying to upsell the president of this bank to a $200 billion.
And that's real money, by the way.
That's U.S. dollars.
So $100 billion U.S., you know, I'd have to put that in my calculator.
That's got to be about 1.5, almost 1.5 billion, 150 billion Canadian, excuse me.
So what a laugh that Christie Freeland is saying, we got to win capital from around the world investing in Canada.
Do you think that soft bank president for one second even contemplated investing in Canada, even proportionately, $10 billion?
Why would he?
So he can pay the carbon tax, so we can have it taxed away, so we can have the general meltdown in society.
Anyhow, let me get back to the statement today.
I just wanted to, what a laugh, that Christia Freeland is going to bring investment to Canada.
Donald Trump just brought $100 billion.
All right, back to the statement.
I know Canadians would recognize and respect such an approach, she says, talking about the Team Canada approach.
They know when we are working for them, and they equally know when we are focused on ourselves.
That's a bit of a zinger.
Trudeau loves himself more than all other things combined.
Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end.
But how we deal with the threat our country currently faces will define us for a generation, and perhaps longer.
Canada will win if we are strong, smart, and united.
I don't think the Trudeau government is strong.
I don't think it's smart.
And I'll show you some clips today that suggest that it's not very united.
It is this conviction which has driven my strenuous efforts this fall to manage our spending in ways that will give us the flexibility we will need to meet the serious challenges presented by the United States.
You got to stop lying.
Like, I love this letter because it detonates Trudeau, but she's lying.
She has not shown any fiscal restraint.
It's an astonishing, staggering budget deficit.
There is no keep our powder dry, and it's a trick.
Trump just says seal your border or I'll hit you with tariffs.
They're all focused on tariffs and counter tariffs and how to pay for the tariffs.
Why don't you just seal the border to illegals?
I will always be grateful for the chance to have served in government, and I will always be proud of our government's work for Canada and Canadians.
I look forward to continuing.
This is very interesting.
I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues as a Liberal member of parliament, and I am committed to running again for my seat in Toronto in the next federal election with gratitude, the Honorable Christia Freeland.
That last line is so interesting.
She's not running away like David LeMetti, the disgraced justice minister who brought in the Emergencies Act.
When the Emergencies Act was found by the federal court to be illegal and unconstitutional, he quit as justice minister, but also as MP.
He didn't even serve out his term, and he ran off, skulked away to a private gig.
He was just ashamed and disgraced and driven out of public life.
That's not what Christia Freeland's doing.
Anand's Departure Announcement00:12:37
In fact, talking about, oh, all our times come to an end.
She's basically saying, your days are numbered, Justin.
I'm going to be in Toronto.
I think it's called University is the name of her riding.
What's it?
University Spadina or something.
It's actually one of the few safe liberal seats in Canada.
It is so liberal down there.
And I think that's her way of saying, I'm blaming you.
I could have fought and helped and win, but you mismanaged it.
This is on you.
Enjoy the next few weeks or months.
I'm going to be just a backbench MP.
And when you are done, well, I will still be here.
She doesn't say, and I'm running for parliament, but she obviously will.
And sorry, she does say she's running for parliament.
She doesn't say she's running for leader, but I think she obviously will.
You cannot be finance minister and deputy prime minister and go back down to just a regular MP and say, no, no, that's fine.
That's all I want to do.
I don't believe it.
No one believes it.
She was demoted by Trudeau, so she quit.
And she's just going to wait till he's gone.
And she's going to throw her hat in the ring.
And she will be immediately the leading contender.
There's no doubt about who else is there.
Melanie Jolie.
I mean, I know that she had her photo shot, photo shoot with the New York Times, basically declaring her campaign in New York City, which is sort of bizarre.
And then that guy, Francois-Philippe Champagne, I find it astonishing that he thinks he can be leader.
But I mean, I guess the thing about politicians is someone whispers in their ear, you can do it.
You can be prime minister.
And they just want to believe it so bad, they force themselves to believe it.
Let me show you a tweet just yesterday that Christia Freeland put up.
She was, I think, at the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Of course, Donald Trump was at the New York Stock Exchange.
So Christia Freeland was matching that by going to the TSX.
Just show that tweet, Olivia.
It was one of the ones you put in the live stream thread there, just because she was keeping this secret.
Obviously, at their meeting on Friday.
Yeah, just pump that up a little bit.
I'll read it.
So I think she tweeted this yesterday, if I'm not mistaken.
So she said, on Friday, we announced new support to boost research and development in Canada, which will attract more capital and create more good jobs.
Yeah, no, I don't think it will, sister.
And we'll have more to announce tomorrow in the fall economic statement.
And scroll down just a little bit so you can see there she is.
And she's making some statement.
Was this about AI?
Put the sound up.
Let's take a listen for a second, what she was saying there.
Can you tell us why this announcement is good news for Canada?
Absolutely.
We made two big announcements today.
One is expanding our SHRED program, which is big course of government support from research and development in Canada.
And the other is creating more ways for pension funds to invest for money of Canadians in Canada.
Both of those things mean pulling more money into Canada and more capital, more investment means more good jobs.
Thanks.
So I think it was an announcement about artificial intelligence that the government, that may have been an earlier announcement.
So they're going to take tax dollars and invest in one of the richest sectors.
I mean, it's so absurd.
AI is the hottest thing on Wall Street.
It's the hottest thing around the world.
There are literally trillions of dollars at play.
NVIDIA, one of the richest companies in the world, is rich because of its chips that do processing for AI.
The idea that there's a shortage of money is a joke.
But this is just press release announcements that they're throwing money away so they can rub shoulders with business elites who would not be here otherwise and who probably will leave at the first instance.
What a contrast.
Donald Trump in New York City today, or sorry, I think it was Mar-a-Lago today announcing $100 billion in foreign money coming into America.
And even there, he's saying, can we get it to 200?
And he was serious.
And then you've got Christia Freeland desperate.
And by the way, a lot of that soft bank money is AI investments.
And you've got Christia Freeland trying to compete.
What an embarrassment.
I want to show you a few other events that just got me chuckling.
Here's François-Philippe Champagne, because there was another resignation the other day, Sean Fraser, who, if I'm not mistaken, was at one time the immigration minister and then the housing minister.
Maybe I have my order wrong there.
So you've had a couple of senior resignations from cabinet.
These guys can read the polls.
And here's François-Philippe Champagne, who truly, truly, truly in his bones believes he can be prime minister.
And who knows?
Maybe he can be.
He's certainly China's candidate.
I don't know if you remember.
This guy, when he was foreign minister, had a mortgage on a house or an apartment.
And do you know who gave him the mortgage?
Was it the Royal Bank?
Was it TD Bank?
Was it Scotiabank?
Was it, you know, there's a lot of Canadian banks, and then there's smaller lenders.
And then there's international lenders too.
There's, you know, Citibank, Wells Fargo.
Like, there's probably a, I think his property is in London, England, which probably has more banks than any other city in the world.
Maybe even more than New York.
I bet it does.
So who do you think he took his mortgage from?
The Bank of China.
A government bank that is not really in the home mortgage business.
Francois-Philippe Champagne, when he was foreign minister, owed over a million dollars to the government of China.
The government of China was his financier, was his mortgage lender.
First of all, how did that happen?
Why did that happen?
What's the deal there?
And why would he think that's okay?
And he was the sitting foreign minister while he owed a debt of over a million dollars to the People's Republic of China.
So that's how crooked and dirty this guy is.
Here's Francois-Philippe Champagne.
I understand that he was asked by Trudeau to deliver the fall economic statement today, and he just refused.
Take a look.
So you don't think this has anything to do with the lack of confidence in the leadership of the Liberal Party?
Yeah, I think after a decade, you've seen colleagues on both sides of the aisle, you know, looking back and saying they've given a lot, they've worked a lot for their constituents, they've worked a lot for Canada.
And I think he's leaving with, I'm sure, the feeling that he has accomplished a lot for his constituents, but also for Canada.
So in my view, I think for him and anyone who's been serving, we should all be thankful and say, listen, thanks for a job well done and wishing you the best for the rest, you know.
That was about Sean Fraser.
I wonder if we also have one about him talking about Christian Freeland.
Perhaps I'm misremembering, but Anita Anand, who has had various senior portfolios, including defense, she was asked about Freeland.
I think that comment by François-Philippe Champagne was like slightly earlier than Christia Freeland's bombshell announcement, so it only captured the Sean Fraser resignation.
Here's Anita Anand.
I'll let you judge her answer for yourself.
I think this is likely an unscripted, genuine answer.
Normally everything is stage managed and choreographed in Ottawa.
You tell me what you think of this.
Christian Freeland is a good friend, someone I work with very, very closely as president of the Treasury Board and Minister of Transport.
This news has hit me really hard, and I'll reserve further comment until I have time to process it.
I'm not sure.
It sounds like she was running or going up some stairs then.
She really doesn't know what to say.
She needs more time to process that translation.
She needs to think which boat does she want to be in, the sinking Titanic or one of the lifeboats.
I think, you know, the last one into the, last one out, turn out the lights.
I think on the one hand, loyalty to the boss gets you promotion, perhaps, but for how long?
Is it measured in months or weeks or days?
Whereas you get out on the lifeboat, I mean, it's almost too late.
I mean, Anand, like Freeland, was at the heart of every atrocious decision this government made for 10 years.
Nine years.
Christia Freeland had some real zingers about Trudeau, gimmicks and narcissism and all about yourself.
Yeah, she had some insults there.
But show me a single thing she disagreed with and refused to argue for in nine years.
It looks like a liberal MP, Francis Druan, has also called on Trudeau to resign.
I'm not sure when this was recorded.
Do you have that?
I see Harrison Faulkner Faulkner tweeted the vid if you've got that handy.
I say again, I don't know if this was before or after Freeland.
Let's take a listen.
Obviously, many of my colleagues have put up, and I've been a great defender, but I just don't see how we move forward without having a future minister resign.
Today was supposed to be a presentation of a plan, and now we're talking about a finance minister who has resigned.
I don't see how this helps the prime minister, and I don't see a way out and how this helps us talk about Canadians while we're continuing to talk about what's happening right now.
So he needs to go.
Sorry, I'd like to hear you.
I think he needs to go.
Yeah.
Justin Trudeau.
Yep.
Yeah.
I think today's resignation is a sign of that.
Now, I want to make a confession.
I have no idea who that guy is, do you?
Francis Druann.
Do you know where he's from, Olivia?
And I'm not trying to put you on the, I'm just, he's 41 years old.
He's from Glengarry Prescott Russell.
And he was elected in 2015.
So he has been in parliament for nine years.
And he's never gone anywhere.
I'm just looking.
Oh, he was the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.
So he was the deputy, like a junior parliamentary secretary.
And obviously he's going no further.
He's on a few committees.
I honestly have never heard of him before.
And maybe I'm just displaying my own ignorance.
But let me put it another way.
If you have been an MP for Trudeau for nine years and you're not in cabinet, you're never going to be in cabinet.
And if the best you can do is be junior deputy agri-food and sit on a few boring committees, you're not going anywhere.
And so why not?
I mean, how can they punish you?
You're not going to get the carrot.
And really, at this point, what's the stick?
So Francis Druan has the courage, the courage nine years later to say, Trudeau's got to go.
It'll be interesting to see what those numbers are like.
Grandpa Nazi Ovation00:03:54
But I want to remind you about the true nature of Christia Freeland.
I mean, as you know, her grandfather was a Nazi, an actual Nazi, who expropriated a newspaper from a Jew back in Ukraine and turned it into a Nazi propaganda rag.
So her grandpa wasn't just a card-carrying Nazi.
He was a Nazi propagandist, a Nazi activist who personally stole property from a Jew.
And I don't know for a fact, but I would assume that the Jew was killed.
Now, you cannot blame a granddaughter for the grandfather's Nazism.
You can't.
But Christia Freeland tried to cover that up, tried to hide that.
And when it started circulating in the news, she denounced it as Russian disinformation.
She actively covered up her grandfather's Nazism.
Here's the Ottawa Citizen headline.
Christia Freeland's granddad was indeed a Nazi collaborator.
So much for Russian disinformation.
It's a true story.
And you can see that was published in 2017.
She managed to hide it.
And then she had a few other flashbacks where she showed that she is indeed her grandfather's granddaughter.
She attended an event with a scarf that is sort of a signature item of a Ukrainian fascist leader.
I don't want to get the name wrong.
That was a scoop by our friend Candace Malcolm at True North.
It was a Bandera scarf.
Olivia, if you can Google, yeah, there you go.
Slava Ukraini, which is fine.
That means just, you know, basically go Ukraine, strengthen Ukraine.
But she's wearing a scarf, or maybe that is the scarf, in the Banderite colors, which is basically the Nazi leader during the Second World War.
And of course, she was on her feet applauding wildly when an actual Nazi SS soldier, Yaroslav Hunka, I think was his last name, was introduced to the Canadian parliament.
And I was watching this because you might recall Vladimir Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, was in parliament.
It was the big day.
Everyone was excited.
And I was watching.
And the Speaker of the House introduces this stranger that none of us knew.
Do you want to play it?
Go ahead and play it.
Yeah, there he is.
And he's very old now.
I think he's in his 90s.
And there he's, I don't know if he's why he's wiping his brow like that.
And maybe he's just elderly and he gives sort of a cheer.
He can't believe it.
He's been a not, not just a regular Nazi, an SS officer.
And he can't believe that he's getting a standing ovation in the Canadian parliament.
I was watching this live at home.
I remember.
And I remember they announced him in some way.
He fought against the Russians in the Second World War.
And I thought, you know, I don't like the Soviets or something.
I thought, you know, I don't like the Soviets much myself, but the people who were fighting against the Soviets in the Second World War, they were the Nazis.
And I googled it and I was, you know, just to toot my own horn, I was one of the first people to say, what the hell?
Alex Soros' Authorized Biographer00:05:32
Who is this guy?
And it was just astonishing.
So yeah, Christia Freeland has those Nazi instincts in her.
And she works on the board of directors by another son of a Nazi named Klaus Schwab.
Do you have the World Economic Forum biography handy?
Christia Freeland is no longer in the Canadian cabinet, which is tantamount to the board of directors of Canada.
So here's her board of directors on the World Economic homepage.
And you can see they haven't yet updated the news.
I'll read it to you.
World Economic Forum, the Honorable Christia Freeland is Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.
She was first elected as MP for Toronto Center in July 2013.
She was elected as an MP for University Rosedale.
That's the proper name of the university writing in October 2019 and re-elected in October 2019 and September 2021.
From 2050, blah, blah, blah, but let me read the last sentence to you.
Scroll down a little bit.
An esteemed journalist and author, blah, blah, blah.
Scroll down a little bit more, a little bit more.
She has written two books.
There we go.
She joined the Thompson Reuters.
She's written two books, Sailor of the Century, The Inside Story of the Second Russian Revolution and Plutocrats.
She was recognized, scroll down a little bit more.
Boy, this is very long.
She is a member of the Forum's Board of Trustees.
So she is on the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum.
And scroll up a bit.
She was the official biographer.
A little bit more, a little bit more up.
And a little bit more up.
I'm trying to find it.
I'm pretty sure it's in this biography that they discuss her role as George Soros' authorized biographer.
Scroll up a little bit more.
I can't find it there, but I'll look for it elsewhere.
That's what she was doing before she became an MP.
She was George Soros' authorized biographer.
You know what an authorized biographer is, right?
I mean, you could call me a Trudeau biographer.
I just released a new book on him.
I'm writing about Trudeau, but obviously it was not an authorized biography.
An authorized biography is more of a PR document.
They're often done working with the subject who gives you access to private materials, but also has control.
The reason that it's authorized is they know you're going to say friendly things.
That's who Christia Freeland is.
Granddaughter of a Nazi, works with Klaus Schwab, whose father was a Nazi, and works with George Soros, who actually was a Nazi collaborator.
Can you Google the image of Trudeau, Freeland, and Soros?
In one of his first foreign trips after being elected back in 2015, Christia Freeland accompanied Trudeau to the World Economic Forum and sort of showed him around.
And one of the first private meetings they had was a, yeah, that's it right there.
That's from January 2016.
Christia Freeland and Justin Trudeau.
Who's the boss?
Let's just look at the body language there.
Who's the boss in that room?
And since then, can you now Google Alex Soros and Trudeau?
Alex is the son of George Soros, and he's the inheritor.
George Soros is in his 80s.
And I'm not sure how long he'll be around, but he's really bequeathed things to his son, a younger, dumber, meaner Soros.
And Trudeau meets with him, and Alex Soros collects politicians all the time.
And yeah, go ahead and show that one there.
That's Alex Soros on the right and Justin Trudeau in the center and George Soros decomposing before his eyes, our eyes.
So there's another generation.
By the way, Alex Soros is now dating Huma Abaddon.
Actually, they're married.
Huma Abaddon, Hillary Clinton's former staffer.
So yeah, that's a little bit about Christia Freeland.
But like I say, I don't want to judge someone too much based on what happened before they were even born, what their grandfather did before they were even born.
The fact that Christia Freeland later tried to cover it up, I think, is newsworthy.
And the fact that she welcomed a Nazi SS officer to parliament is newsworthy.
But let me show you about Christia Freeland herself.
And a few things sum her up better than the next two videos I want to show you.
I want to show you the video of her imposing sanctions on Canadians who dared to attend the peaceful political protests of the Trucker Convoy, the largest peaceful protest in Canadian history.
Christia Freeland's Triumph00:02:17
No acts of violence other than when police shot our reporter, Alexa LeBois.
And without judicial process, without a court action, based on media gossip, she ordered the banks to seize hundreds and hundreds of bank accounts of families.
And of course, a lot of families, the husband and the wife, jointly have the accounts.
So husband is maybe at the protest, wife at the grocery store, suddenly none of her cards work.
And I mean, none.
Not just the bank accounts frozen, the credit cards frozen.
Imagine the trauma, the shock, the embarrassment hundreds of times.
And the way she laughed while doing it.
I'll never forget that.
Her Nazi grandfather looking up from hell must be so proud of this little Nazi here.
Here, take a look at Christy Freeland laughing and smirking while destroying hundreds of lives.
Take a look.
So you're confirming that accounts have been frozen, both personal and corporate, but you're not releasing the information.
And the actual follow-up is, I'm just wondering whether the bank accounts will be targeted of individuals who donated to the Give, Send, Go and the GoFundMe campaigns.
Are they considered designated people under the Emergencies Act, meaning that their credit cards could be cut and financial services are targeting them as well?
Okay, so the names of both individuals and entities, as well as crypto wallets, have been shared by the RCMP with financial institutions, and accounts have been frozen, and more accounts will be frozen.
Crowdfunding platforms and payment service providers have started the registration process with FinTrek.
In terms of the specifics on whose accounts are being frozen, you now have the regulations.
The financial service providers have those regulations as well.
And they, working with law enforcement, will be making the operational decisions.
Her Nazi Grandpa Would Be Proud00:03:13
Really, the important thing I wanted to show you there was her glee, her laughing.
It was a delight for her to seize and freeze family bank accounts with no legal process, no court order, no search warrant, no hearing.
Look at that laugh.
She's just having the time of her life.
Her Nazi grandpa would be so proud.
To me, that's the essential Christia Freeland.
I want to show you another clip.
This is from January this year when she was attending a vigil for Persian Canadians, Iranian Canadians, who had lost family in a terrorist attack perpetrated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
That's a terrorist group in Iran.
And the chutzpah of Christia Freeland showing up at this vigil when she refused to ban the IRGC was astonishing.
Public sidewalk, public event.
Our reporter David actually being invited to the event.
David's clearly wearing his journalistic lanyard.
He's got a cameraman there.
He's got his microphone.
He's asking a question in the public interest of a public person in a public place.
He's immediately jumped by Freeland's bodyguards.
And instead of saying, no, no, no, guys, this is fine.
No, it's okay.
Or even saying, make an appointment or I'll talk to you later.
Or I don't have time to talk.
Instead of saying anything, she just smirks as the police physically rough up David and lie about him.
If we didn't have this on tape, David would surely be convicted of assault.
Take a look.
Ms. Freeland, how come the IRDC is not a terrorist group?
Why is your government supporting Islamo now?
You did this.
What are you doing?
You're under arrest for assault.
Why are you supposed to be?
You're under arrest for assault.
Who are you?
Under arrest?
Police, you're under arrest.
How am I under arrest?
You bumped into me.
You pushed into you bumped into.
I was just scrubbing.
I've got my credentials here and you just bumped into me.
So police.
You're under arrest.
What is your name in your badge?
What is your name and your badge?
Why am I under arrest?
I'm not over here.
He brought my race.
I was just scrubbing Christia Freeland.
I'm a police officer.
You're under arrest.
What is your name and your badge for you?
How is that possible?
Okay.
Because you assaulted me three years ago when Blackwing walked back to Howard.
I was very aggressive over the traffic.
You mean I was asking questions aggressively?
No, your actions were, you were almost pushing everybody over.
Lincoln, you got this on video, right?
He's saying I'm pushing people over.
That's an absolute falsehood.
So now it appeared that way.
That's what you're saying, officer?
I was pushing people.
It didn't touch a single person.
That was a little bit aggressive for what was happening.
You're under arrest.
Please take the microphone out of my face.
Well, I see.
All right, you get the feeling.
You get the spirit of it.
She was just happy to let the police do to her critics what her grandpa would have done to his critics.
Chad Collins Demands Trudeau Resign00:11:23
I see that Chad Collins, another no-name backbencher in the Liberal Party, has reissued his demand that Trudeau step down.
Let me read it to you.
We can show it on the screen.
Chad Collins, who is from Hamilton East, Stony Creek, another nameless faceless go-nowhere backbencher, says, in October, I signed a letter with 23 other members of parliament from across Canada asking the Prime Minister to step down and begin a formal process to replace him.
It's unfortunate that he declined to respond to our request.
It's obvious that Canadians across the country feel the same and want him to leave.
Today, I publicly reiterate my request that the Prime Minister step down and initiate a leadership process to take our country in a new direction.
Chad Collins.
Anybody here heard of Chad Collins before?
Again, maybe I'm just exposing my own ignorance.
You don't know Chad Collins?
The Chad Collins?
Come on.
Yeah, no, I've never heard of Chad Collins before.
But this is his big moment.
And This is the, you know, this is the night that either makes us or for does us quite, as Shakespeare would say, is pretty much now or never.
If I understand there's a cabinet minister going on right now, and I see some gossip online, quote, they are talking about Justin Trudeau resigning in a cabinet meeting now, reports.
Well, of course they're talking about it.
The whole party, the whole government, the whole country that follows politics is talking about him.
Yeah, there's Stephen Taylor.
Now, of course they're talking about it, but they've been talking about it for weeks or months.
The question is, will they do it?
Now, this has really destabilized things because really, Christia Freeland, who I regard as a low-talent, low-IQ individual, I'll give her this.
She had a work ethic.
She would get on the phone to the premiers.
She would work any file, and she was a loyal soldier.
And I think she was disastrous policy-wise, but she was a worker.
And Justin Trudeau himself is a little bit lazy, I think we all know.
And just all her, like Christian Freeland, Trudeau would go, and I don't know, I honestly don't know what Trudeau does with his free time.
I'm told that he reads a lot of science fiction and that he surfs the net.
I don't know how accurate that is.
I know he doesn't read his briefing notes, but Christia Freeland puts in the hours.
She phones premiers.
She writes memos.
She reads her memos.
Just having that worker, workers, that would be like not even the number two at, because she was more than the number two.
Trudeau was the number one in terms of PR and glitz and profile and speechifying and image.
But there's no doubt that Christia Freeland was the number one in terms of doing the work, having the connections, pushing the agenda forward in caucus, in cabinet.
Now, Katie Telford, the chief of staff to Justin Trudeau, is obviously one step up from either of them, you might say.
But Christia Freeland gone has got to terrify a lot of liberal MPs if they weren't terrified already.
I give it a 50-50 chance that he's thrown out today.
He wants to stay on.
It's sort of astonishing to me that he thought he could fire Christia Freeland from finance and have her be a good soldier.
Did he learn nothing from when he did this to Jody Wilson Raybold, the Indigenous justice minister, a couple years ago?
He did almost the exact same thing.
He fired her from justice, gave her some other job.
And when journalists said she's unhappy, he says, well, she must be happy she's still in cabinet.
And she quit at that moment, to prove him wrong.
Here's a post by Jody Wilson-Ribold who said, when the general is losing his most loyal soldiers on the eve of a tariff war, the country desperately needs a new general.
Justin Trudeau, it's time, long past time to go.
Yeah.
But look, Jody Wilson-Raybold has said that many times before.
She wrote a best-selling book about it, to which Trudeau would probably say, yeah, you and what army?
So I think that Trudeau is hanging on because first of all, what else is he going to do?
He can't get a job at the UN.
They don't want him.
They laugh at him.
They don't even think of it.
They don't laugh at him.
They don't even think about him.
Donald Trump is spending his morning welcoming a $100 billion investor and then trying to peer pressure him into making it $200 billion.
That's Donald Trump's morning.
How's your, what did you do today?
I mean, Trudeau typically gets up at the crack of 10, strolls into the office.
So, yeah, Trudeau doesn't have a plan B.
I always thought he believed that he would finish up in Canada and then get a job as the head of something at the UN, not NATO, because Canada didn't have the reputation.
But there are some international organizations where mid-level PMs sort of waft their way up.
If you look at Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister, he's now the head of NATO.
You know, in the European Union, there's sort of those EU jobs.
Who would take Trudeau now?
I mean, maybe if he was some Chinese government shill, but I don't even know if they would have him.
They're mad at him.
Greta sort of has the eco thing locked down.
So the first thing is, where else can he go?
The second thing is Trudeau's dad was thrown out of office in 1979 in an election by Joe Clark, who won a minority.
And it was an ignominious end to Pierre Trudeau.
And then Joe Clark stumbled.
It was over a carbon tax, by the way, back then called the gasoline tax.
And Trudeau came back in in 1980 and he did all his sort of bucket list things in his last term.
Charter of Rights and Freedoms, really weaponizing some terrible policies, multiculturalism, spending the national energy program, basically colonizing and nationalizing the Canadian oil and gas industry.
Pierre Trudeau was embarrassed and disgraced by losing to Joe Clark.
He came back in a year later and he did everything he had meant to do.
Now, Pierre Trudeau is obviously a lot smarter than his son, Justin.
But Justin is not so much thinking about smart.
He's thinking of how will I be remembered?
Okay, so Pierre Trudeau was prime minister for 16 years, other than that sliver of Joe Clark in there.
16 years.
So I think Justin Trudeau wanted to match his dad's 16 years.
But even if he can't, imagine being thrown out now, not in an election, but now by Christia Freeland.
You know how Justin Trudeau views his MPs?
And this is, I think, a really important part to understanding the dynamic that's been going on in the Liberal Party for the last year, really.
All these Liberal MPs are worried about losing their seats.
They all see the polls.
Christy Freeland will likely win her seat because it's one of the deepest red ridings in the country.
But any rural liberal, gone.
Any Western liberal, gone.
Most of them in the Atlantic, gone.
British Columbia, gone.
Much of Ontario, gone.
There's just some places in Montreal and Toronto and a few other parts, but very few.
So they're all saying, I'm going to lose my job, my power, my office, my influence in the next election.
I may as well go to bat now to see if we can fix things.
But that, but they have no lever over Trudeau other than a threat, because Trudeau looks at them with contempt.
He looks at these MPs and he says, you're only here because of me, like that Chad Collins, whose name I just forgot, or Francis Druan.
Do you think they were elected on their own merits, on their own name?
Chad Collins, the name you know in Hamilton East, Stoney Creek?
No.
They were elected because they were on Trudeau's coattails.
And Trudeau knows that.
And Trudeau ensures they know that.
And one of the things you hear from even cabinet ministers, I know Stefan Dion said this, Stefan Dion, who for a while served in Trudeau's cabinet, said, only one time did he get a one-on-one with Trudeau.
Trudeau doesn't even talk to these people.
He's not interested in governing.
He can delegate that stuff.
He's interested in power, fame, and wealth.
That's why he loved going to the billionaire island in the Caribbean on his holiday.
That's why he loves jetting around.
That's why he loved the Taylor Swift concert.
Just he loves that stuff.
He loves the adulation.
He loved trading the friendship bracelets with teenage girls.
That's what he loves.
And he doesn't care about some liberal MPs.
I am willing to bet you a dollar that Chad Collins and Francis Druan have not had a personal one-on-one conversation of more than 30 seconds with Trudeau in years.
In years.
That's my bet.
And so he doesn't care what they have to say.
Now, I should tell you in six minutes, Justin Trudeau is going to make a press conference.
And this is the moment that I think we'll be telling.
I've just predicted to you that Trudeau stays on to fight.
I think it's going to stay.
Anita and And, you can see she was still sort of on the fence.
She didn't know what to do.
She didn't know how to position herself, did she?
You know, there's this play called Othello.
I love that play.
It's one of my favorite plays by Shakespeare.
And there's this very dramatic scene that Iago is about to make his move.
And he says, this is the night that either makes me or foredoes me quite.
And I think this is the day.
This is the moment.
Will Trudeau blink?
Will he stand down?
I think the answer is no.
1775 Coffee Rumble00:02:34
Show me once in Trudeau's life where he has shown remorse, contrition, or apology for himself.
You saw Christia Freeland's letter.
It was a kind of attack.
It was an accusation.
You're unserious.
You're narcissistic.
These are gimmicks.
You're only in it for yourself.
We have to think of our legacy for a generation.
Trudeau does not accept that.
Trudeau is very good at giving apologies for other people on behalf of past generations or previous politicians.
But Trudeau never apologizes for himself.
Show me one time ever when he was confronted with the sexual assault of Rose Knight of Creston, B.C. Remember what he said?
Oh, she experienced it differently.
You can't even bring yourself to say it.
Well, of course not, because that would admit some flaw of some sort.
I want to read a quick sponsor's ad before we go to Justin Trudeau.

Go Think About It00:04:05
Boy, that sounds great.
I hope you take them up on that offer.
All right, so we're standing by for Trudeau.
I want to show you a tweet from our friend Kat Canada over at Countersignal.
She's great.
I recommend you follow her online.
And she says, I've never doubted that the Liberal Party is, she's quoting an MP just full delusion mode.
This MP is terrified, but this MP is brazening it out, which tells me that Trudeau is brazening out.
Take a look.
What is the end?
Does it feel like the end to you?
I've been a lifelong liberal.
I was 12 years old when I joined the Liberal Party of Canada, and I have never doubted a day that the Liberal Party is the strongest party in this country and that we will always have the leader we need at the right time and will continue to be the Liberal Party.
I have said to the Prime Minister, if he wants my advice on his leadership or comments, I'll give them directly only to him.
I've been really clear about that.
So it's a day where we will, I think there's got to be some reflection going on.
And I was Christian Freeland's parliamentary secretary, and I have huge respect for her, and I will continue to huge respect for her.
And I'm really glad her confidence is in the Liberal Party, and she is going to run as a member of parliament.
Yeah, I'm not sure if it says what he thinks it's saying, but he doesn't know what to do.
Back of his boss, Olivia Key cover that.
By the way, we have a Rumble rant from Alberta Dawn, five bucks, who says, how much of the $60 plus billion dollar deficit is going to migration, green donations to dictators, including China, India, to allegedly flight climate change?
What countries does his $5 billion pledge at COP, that's the Global Warming Conference, go to?
You know, I think that if you were to put a poll question or better yet, a binding referendum to Canadians and said, what amount would you like our foreign aid to be?
And I think zero would win the day overwhelmingly.
I think foreign aid is basically a transfer of wealth from working class Canadians to NGO elites and corrupt foreign dictators.
And in some cases, it's even worse than that.
Canada's given tens of millions of dollars to the UN Relief Works Agency, which is basically a front for the Hamas terrorist group.
So yeah, I think you're so right on those questions.
Let me get back to why I don't think Trudeau will resign.
Can he be pushed out?
Sure, he can be, but will he agree to go?
I don't think so.
A few reasons.
We talked about he has nowhere else to go.
Second of all, he hasn't, this is not the way he wants to go out.
He doesn't want to be humiliated, embarrassed, ambushed.
Really, I mean, that was a master stroke.
Christia Freeland, who has been loyal as a puppy dog for 10 years to Trudeau, must have felt so hurt that she said, I'm going to detonate.
She didn't tell him this on Friday.
She kept up appearances on the weekend.
I showed you some of those tweets that she posted about, we're doing this, we're going to do that, see you at the fall economic update.
And to time this in the morning of the announcement was just incredible.
Maximum damage, maximum short notice to Trudeau's people, scuppering the fall economic update.
I mean, any day that she announces she would quit would be a way that the timing itself is a weapon.
Robin Leach's Strategic Quit00:04:16
I would say that the world is watching, but they're not.
I showed you that video of a guy bringing $100 billion to Trump, and Trump's not giving him anything other than promising to make America the best place to do business.
It's not a gift.
It's not a—see, in Canada, if you read that biography, I sort of rambled that biography of Chrystia Freeland from the World Economic Forum.
Christia Freeland has never actually done anything.
She was a scholar of some sorts.
She was put in charge of Thompson Reuters Next.
Thompson Reuters, you probably heard of it.
Thompson is a large Canadian-based global news company named after the Thompson family, which actually owns the Global Mail.
Reuters is a very famous global newswire.
They had this high-tech thing called Reuters Next, and they put Christia Freeland in charge of it.
She blew through almost $100 million.
The whole thing was so cratered, they literally shut it down.
They didn't even try and salvage it.
They hired her to run it and to build it.
She destroyed it.
She moved on and they just turned off the lights.
That's how bad she was at her one business exercise.
She wrote a couple of books.
One of them called Plutocrats.
I bought it.
I hate to say it.
And I read some of it.
Remember that old Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous guy?
Can you Google that?
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
It was a show in the 80s of Robin Leach.
Make sure you get the Robin Leach version, who was a sort of a larger than life.
I forget he was British or Australian.
And the show was called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
And Robin Leach would basically go from jets and yachts.
And he would, it was like a, you know, New York Post page six or the gossip section.
It would be a little bit like TMZ, except for TMZ.
The reason they're so terrifying is that they have bad news about celebs.
Robin Leach would never, ever, ever, ever, ever embarrass the rich people he hangs out with.
Here, just play 60 seconds of Robin Leach.
Many government offices.
Given that federal regulations do not prevent the release of the family.
We're having a different audio stream there.
Anyhow, really what I'm saying is that Robin Leach would go around.
We just had a different audio track.
We were listening to some other video that was playing.
My point I'm trying to make is that Robin Leach buttered up the world's richest people.
Never had a harsh word to say.
Always used the right shot to make them look as pretty as possible.
That's how he kept getting invitations to do it.
You know that when Robin Leach came, it really wasn't journalism.
It was a puff piece to you would you would come across looking rich and beautiful.
It was called Lifestyles of Rich and Famous.
And I mean, if you can play even just a minute of it, I just want to show how over the top it was.
It's just that you had different, even if you just put the video up, Olivia, even if you had a different audio, I just want to show people.
Basically, Robin Leach would go from house to house and jet to jet showing how rich people are.
Here he was with Liberace.
And he has this rich shirt.
And this, like, he was basically, his job was to go around the world and say, ooh, ah, wow, you're so rich and famous to people.
I swear that is exactly what Christia Freeland's book, Plutocrats, is.
It pretends to be really tough on these billionaires, but it was a complete suck up.
And it paid off for her.
Like I say, she became George Soros' official authorized biographer.
She's never actually accomplished things.
So it's actually remarkable that she was the most accomplished of the Trudeau cabinet.
Tell me a Trudeau cabinet minister who's actually built something.
Bill Mourneau, the original finance minister for Trudeau, he inherited his company from his dad, but at least he was in the world of business.
Is there anyone in Trudeau's circle who has actually done something?
And I know the answer is no.
Logistically Impossible Rebate00:02:09
If you saw my interview with Dan Kelly of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business the other day, we were just shaking our heads at this whole Christmas GST rebate that for a 60-day period, a very complex list of items are GST free, but then they become GST taxable again in two months, and companies have to sort them, relabel them,
reprogram their cash registers, which are all electronic, do this to take effect immediately, and then to end immediately 60 days later.
And it's just logistically impossible.
And large companies and small companies are announcing they're just not going to do it.
I saw PepsiCo saying, we're just not going to do it.
We're just not going to do it, they said.
I've seen small, I've seen companies say on Facebook, we just can't do this.
We're going to shut down over the Christmas season.
Can you imagine a company shutting down over Christmas, which is when so much business is done?
And thinking about how painful and what a hassle that is for companies, I was saying to Dan Kelly, there's obviously not a single person who worked on this policy who has ever actually run a business, who's ever actually had to comply with paperwork, who's ever actually been the target of red tape rather than the creator of red tape.
There was no one in Trudeau's office, in Freeland's office, or any of their staff or anyone else in cabinet who said, hey, I used to run a dollar store and I'm just worried about this and that.
Have you thought of this and that?
Like no one.
They're all this condescending elite squad of do-nothings who are takers, not makers, who think you can govern by press release, who think, what did Trudeau say, the budgets balance themselves?
That's why we're in the mess we're in.
Chaos in Ottawa00:04:47
I'm told that Trudeau has not yet, in fact, started a press conference.
I want to stick around in case he does, but in the meantime, I see that premiers of Canada have been asked if they have confidence in the Trudeau regime.
And I'd like to play a quick video.
It's in Slack there, Olivia, the last one there.
I'd like to hear what they have to say.
Take a look.
Oh, we need another minute.
As premiers.
Go ahead.
Do you have confidence in a Trudeau government to lead Canada into a terror war that is knocking on our door?
Well, the way I can answer that, we're going to be at the table.
All the premiers are going to be at the table making sure that we move forward in a very constructive way, a very collaborative way to protect our provinces and our territories and our entire country from coast to coast to coast.
That's our job.
We're ready.
And we'll rise up to the occasion.
I can promise you that.
No answer there.
I think he's basically saying the premiers are ready.
You know what?
Doug Ford is actually, of all 10 premiers, actually 13 premiers, when you realize that the territories are led by a politician called Premier.
Of the 13 Premiers, Doug Ford is the most pro-Trudeau of them all.
Did you know that?
I have never once seen him criticize Trudeau.
And his response to this tariffs thing has been atrocious.
Instead of saying, okay, Trump wants to fix the border, yeah, let's do that.
We should fix it too.
He's all, we're going to cut off energy to America.
Yeah, brother, no, you're not.
You don't run Alberta, which is where 99% of the energy comes from.
Sorry, mate.
There's another comment this morning where I think Ford was a little bit tougher.
Can you play the second last clip?
Ford was at least willing to say the obvious, that it's chaos out there.
His best friend, Christia Freeland, is no longer in office.
Take a look.
Premier, I understand you spoke to Christia Freeland, who you have worked very closely with over these past four years, specifically on the pandemic, EVs, many other joint initiatives between Ontario and the federal government.
Just wondering your thoughts on her sudden departure.
What does this chaos in Ottawa, political chaos in Ottawa, say to you guys as you're trying to develop a plan to deal with the next essential threat from Mr. Trump's tariffs on January 20th?
Sorry, I did speak to Christia, and I just wanted to thank her for her service.
She gave me a call.
I did put her on speaker with the rest of the premiers.
We have a good relationship with Christia over the years.
I just want to wish her all the best.
But as a country, we have to project strength, unity.
And you said the word.
I didn't, but I'll repeat it.
It's chaos right now up in Ottawa.
And it's time that what we do every single day, the premiers, we step up and we'll make sure that we tell the world that there is stability here, there is certainty here in Canada.
And by all means, it's a great place to invest in any of our provinces or territories.
That's the message to the world.
And we have a great group of premiers, very bright individuals around the table here.
You know what?
I suppose there's some meaning there, but I'm sort of embarrassed that he's the go-to guy.
Maybe he just sort of answers first.
Francois Legault actually flew to Paris and had a quick chat with Donald Trump.
And Trump said, I just want the border fixed.
Danielle Smith has taken the lead by actually deploying a border force, announcing it, funding it, giving the details of the plan.
Maybe Doug Ford doesn't know how to do anything.
Maybe he's sort of like Trudeau in that way.
I'm not sure if Doug Ford really does know how to do anything.
He inherited his business from his father, too.
He's not quite an entrepreneur.
I want to show, just because it fits, I want to show a speech given just a week ago or so by Justin Trudeau.
And it's got a lot of chutz, but remember, this is a guy who sexually assaulted Rose Knight.
And when asked about it, he said she experienced it differently.
Love Song Over Italian Footage00:02:29
This is the guy who fired Jody Wilson Raybold because she was too ethical, fired Selena Cesar Chavannis, fired his health minister whose name I can't recall right now.
Basically, it's not wise to be a woman and disagreeing with Trudeau.
He'll fire you.
He doesn't know how to deal with women who aren't obedient.
If you want to see that personified, look at the difference when Giorgia Maloney, the prime minister of Italy, meets with a regular normal leader, Javier Millet, Donald Trump, even Elon Musk, where she, I mean, there's someone who would be easy to play poker against.
She can't hide her facial expressions.
Can you just go to Twitter and type in Maloney Musk?
And there's a video.
I mean, yeah, there's a photo which almost looks like they're dating.
There's actually a video.
Can you find a video of Maloney and Musk?
Yeah, it's that one right underneath there.
And play it sound up.
I think that this was released by the Italian government.
Here's how Georgia Maloney is with someone she likes, respects, and can work with.
Take a look.
This is a lovely video.
You're the light.
You're the night.
You're the color of my blood.
You're the cure.
You're the pain.
You're the only thing I want to touch.
The audio is not original, but it makes it more fun.
Put the audio back in.
So much.
You're the fear.
I don't care.
Cause I've never been so high.
Follow me through the dark.
Let me take you past our satellites.
You can see the world you brought to life.
To life.
So love me like you do.
La la la love me like you do.
Love me like you do.
La la love me like you do.
Now, I am reminded that that was footage.
The footage was released by the Italian government, but someone put sort of a love song over the back of it.
Trudeau's Authoritarian Tendencies00:16:00
Now, can you do Maloney Trudeau?
When Trudeau first met Georgia Maloney, what did he say to her?
Congratulations on being PM.
Congratulations on this.
He lectured her.
He lectured her on, yeah, that photo right there saying that he's outraged with Italy's anti-gay policies, which he couldn't name or particularize.
And Georgia Maloney smacked back at him.
That's one of, there's so many photos of her just looking at him in disgust.
I think that may be, yeah, this one's even better.
Look at those arms.
Look at those arms folded there.
And look how Trudeau sits.
He always sits with his knees so squished together like that.
There's something really unnerving about it.
Yeah, just incredible.
Where were we before we went on that little Giorgio Maloney detour there?
I mean, I think the world disrespects Trudeau, and the trouble is the longer he's in office, the more they disrespect Canada itself, and we can't afford that.
Canada's not even at the table at many important meetings.
Like, if you recall, there were major NATO exercises in Europe recently.
Canada wasn't even there because we don't have the equipment to participate and cooperate with our fellow allies.
We don't have our tanks, our jets.
They just can't fly alongside our allies.
Anyway, back to my prediction.
It's 217, and I'm not sure how long I can stick around.
Not that I have a lot of other important things to do.
If I would not be on the live stream, I would probably just be in my office clicking refresh on Twitter.
But let me pay a compliment to Trudeau.
In his own way, he is the most stubborn person I've ever heard of.
Trump is stubborn.
A lot of leaders, the stubbornness is, I mean, Elon Musk is stubborn.
Winston Churchill is stubborn.
But just like Trudeau has never once apologized for anything, when has he ever truly backed down?
You could say that when he flew down to Mar-a-Lago to be talked to by Trump, that he blinked, but he didn't really.
In fact, I think he used that to set up this, to set up what he wants the 2025 campaign to be, which is on the one hand to have Donald Trump as his opponent, not Pierre Polyev.
And on the other hand, when Canada's economy is wrecked by U.S. tariffs, he can blame Trump for that rather than blame himself for the mess he's put us in.
So I think Trudeau went down there, was a little bit humiliated by Trump, but it was a trick.
It was a move by which Trudeau's positioning himself.
Why would he ever resign?
Has he ever done anything in his entire life that would make you think he's going to resign?
What has he ever said?
Because what's resigning, really?
You resign for two reasons.
One is because someone applies their moral pressure to you.
But Trudeau does not respect his MPs or his Senate or even much of his staff.
He just doesn't even know who they are.
These people who Francis, Druann, Chad, whatever, he barely knows their name.
He doesn't meet with them or talk to them.
They have no peer pressure over him.
He looks down on them.
He gives them as much say as he would give a household pet.
So he's not going to resign just because they say he should.
He would probably respond or have some surrogate respond on his behalf, saying things like, who else will take over?
Who else will do better?
You can't name anyone.
You know I'm your best chance.
You owe me.
I'm the one who got you.
There would be a little bit of that entitlement.
I'm the one who brought you here.
You should be grateful to me.
But really, why would he ever give up power?
If you listen to him, if you actually listen to him on those few occasions when he's speaking from the heart, he's an authoritarian.
And the most honest thing he's ever said, please find that China is the country he most admires.
Clip, it was an unprepared, unscripted question that he totally was not ready for.
He was in a friendly enough place.
He was asked, what country besides Canada do you most admire?
And he gave an astonishingly astonishingly honest answer.
Let's play it again.
I want you to hear the exact words.
I think I know them from memory now.
But here, listen from scratch.
Trudeau's meeting last week with a group of Toronto women was an example.
Even with Sun TV watching for any slip, he was asked which country he most admired and referred to China.
There's a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say we need to go green as fast as we need to start investing in solar.
I mean, there is a flexibility that I know Stephen Harper must dream about of having a dictatorship that he could do everything he wanted.
You know, there's a few things there.
First of all, he gave China as the answer, and the basic dictatorship is why.
And then he sort of explained why, because they can move on a dime without having to listen to anybody.
And then he realized he was in trouble.
So he said, oh, Stephen Harper must love that power.
No, actually, Stephen Harper didn't just say he admires China's basic dictatorship.
You just said it.
You just were erotic for a second about your love for that authoritarianism.
And when you realized what you had done, you said, oh, and Harper would love that.
No, brother, you just said you would.
So he loves China, and he tells you why, because they're authoritarian and they don't need to respect anyone else's wishes.
They can just do what they want.
And you might recall that when Castro died, Trudeau released a eulogy that was so gross that Marco Rubio, who's what's Rubio's new role?
Is he the new foreign secretary of state?
That's of interest because I think he was just not, was he just nominated?
I'm trying to keep track of it all.
I think he, I forget what he was, yeah, sorry about that.
That's what I thought.
He was nominated as Secretary of State.
Can you imagine that?
Fidel Castro dies.
Justin Trudeau writes a eulogy that is so gross that Marco Rubio himself says that is super gross.
You are so wrong.
I'm appalled by you.
And guess who the new Secretary of State for the United States is?
And he will obviously be confirmed because he's in the Senate.
He's one of them.
He's been heavily involved in foreign affairs.
He is, if I'm not mistaken, he's been on various committees for foreign affairs.
I don't want to get the names wrong without checking them.
Trudeau's admiration for authoritarian banana republic rulers is deep and authentic.
It's one of the few authentic things about him.
Even Marco Rubio can see that.
Marco Rubio, who is now tasked with affecting America's interests around the world.
Again, I say it's sort of lucky that America is not focused on Canada.
America is focused on solving Ukraine-Russia.
America is focused on renewing peace in the Middle East.
America is focused on trade.
We are very lucky that Canada has not attracted attention more than it has, but it looks like Trudeau wants to pick a fight with Trump.
Well, we are standing by.
We see all sorts of rumors.
I see rumors that, you know, MPs are expected to be in their seats.
I think if I'm not mistaken, does question period start at 2.15 p.m. like it used to do when I worked there 25 years ago?
At 2.
Yeah, at 2 o'clock they have what they call member statements.
And then at 2.15, if I'm not mistaken, that's when the questions begin.
Has anything interesting come up yet?
I can only imagine.
Is Trudeau in there?
That's my question.
Why don't you put up a stream, if you can, of question period?
I'm going to guess Trudeau's not in the House, or maybe he is.
Turn up the sound.
Let's take a listen.
Maybe he is in the House.
The Honourable Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, at a time when Canadians are struggling, we are having a lot of people.
Why so glum, Chum?
Holy moly, look how sad they look.
It's like a funeral.
That took place starting this past Saturday, going until February 15th.
And while the Conservative leader and the members of his caucus stay focused on us, we're going to stay focused on helping Mr. Speaker.
The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
Mr. Speaker, it was a serious question.
Who?
Who is the finance minister?
After the finance minister's resignation this morning, automatically the industry minister became minister of finance.
And congratulations.
But he immediately quit.
After him, in the line of precedence, it was the two Randys.
Well, they don't want it.
So now we don't have a finance minister just a couple of minutes before the fall economic statement will be presented.
So where's the minister?
The honorable leader of the government.
The honorable leader of the government in the House of Commons.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
As I said, our government is looking forward to presenting the fall economic statement later this afternoon.
Trying to balm down a little bit.
There are important measures.
I just wouldn't mind saying a few things.
These are the hardest core of the hardcore.
That's Karina Gould, one of the absolute worst zombies in the government, someone who has risen far above her talent level in this government.
She will be part of Trudeau's palace card.
But you just, here, let's hear what the next question is.
Mr. Speaker, just to underline the chaos we're faced with here, the finance minister resigned the day she was to present the fall budget, which was going to contain a massive deficit overrun.
The job then went automatically to the industry minister, who immediately resigned, like on the spot, which then went down the line, and the next person in order was the famous two Randy's.
And they're not available to do the job either.
We're now less than two hours away from the fall economic update.
Why won't the Prime Minister have the courage to come in here, present it himself, and put it for a confidence vote tonight?
Did I hear him say that François-Philippe Champagne has resigned?
I would like to remind all members, as I did during statements today, for members to be careful not to refer to other sitting members by their names, but to use their titles or to use their writing ones.
The Honourable Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Well, Mr. Speaker, while the Leader of the Opposition continues to play politics in this place, we look forward to presenting the fall economic statement later this afternoon that will have a series of important measures for Canadians, things that are going to help them with the affordability challenges that are going to put Canada, Canadian jobs, and the Canadian economy first.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I would like to ask the Honourable Member from St. Albert, Edmonton, to please not take the floor when he is not recognized by the Speaker.
The Honourable Member for La Prelis.
We already knew that between 20 and 40 Liberal MPs no longer had confidence in the Prime Minister.
We also knew that eight ministers would be jumping ship.
Today, the Minister of Finance decided to step down instead of presenting the fall economic statement.
She wrote black and white that she disagrees with the Prime Minister on the best path forward for Canada.
So she has also taken away her confidence in the Prime Minister.
We are watching this government, this Liberal government, fall apart, and it's pretty ugly to see.
Will the Prime Minister call an election?
The Honourable Government House Leader.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I would like to thank my colleague for his question.
As I mentioned, as a government, we are looking forward to presenting the fall economic statement later this afternoon.
There are important measures in there.
I'm just catching up.
Trudeau obviously is not in the parliament.
Most of the questions are going to Karina Gould.
Again, she has been in cabinet.
I won't say she is a no-name backbencher, but it just shows you how modest and how thin the front bench is in the Liberal government.
I want to show you a very quick clip of Pierre Polyev.
I think I said earlier that François-Philippe Champagne resigned as industry minister.
He did not.
He just declined to pick up the mantle of the finance minister.
Here's Pierre Polyev making remarks to that effect.
Here, take a look.
To continue the chaos, think of this.
The moment the finance minister resigned, the government's published order of precedent meant that François-Philippe Champagne instantaneously became the finance minister.
But now he tells us he doesn't have the job and doesn't want the job.
So it goes to the next minister who's on the published order of precedent, and that is Randy Woiseneau, more commonly known as the two Randy's, the gentleman who had to resign because he falsely claimed he was Indigenous, falsely claimed that there were more than one Randy when it was all him and all in his head.
And he is now technically our finance minister as we speak.
We don't know for sure, though, if he'll still be finance minister in three and a half hours when the scheduled fall economic update is expected to land to continue.
Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that economic update.
Doubled Down on Dumb00:14:43
I don't know.
My guess is they're just going to publish it online.
I'm not sure if there's even a legal requirement for it to be spoken by a human being, and it looks like no one wants that, least of all Christian Freeland.
Here's an interesting idea that Pierre Polyev mentioned in the same press conference.
The Canadian government is in chaos right now.
There really is no other way to describe it.
And maybe it's a good idea to hit the reset button before Donald Trump assumes office on January 20th.
Here's a good point.
Take a look.
The election itself needs to take place before January the 20th when the catastrophic 25% tariff is slated to come into effect.
It would be ideal to have the election done before the president takes office or within the first week or two of his mandate so that he would have, so that Canadians would have a strong prime minister with the brains and backbone, the strength and smarts to stand up for Canada, facing down President Trump and our American competitors.
Do you think there isn't It's a good point.
Now, I'd have to check election law.
I'm going from memory here.
I think there's a seven, sorry, a five-week minimum campaign.
It might be six.
So let's assume it's five weeks, so 35 days.
It is December 16th right now, 31 days in December.
So add 35, that's 41 minus.
So I've just confused myself, but I think that if the election were called literally today, it would not be done in time for January 20th.
If literally the writ were dropped today, and that just can't happen.
I don't even know where the governor general is.
And right now, even though everyone's up in an uproar, the Liberals seem to be in their seats applauding.
I mean, they look like ashes.
But I don't think Justin Trudeau is going to quit.
Show me one thing he's ever done that shows he's a quitter.
He loves to fight and win.
Now, many of the fights he's fought in have been rigged to his advantage.
But so what?
He's learned that if he fights, he can win.
Yeah, let's listen to, it looks like we got Philippe Champagne on his feet.
Let's take a look.
It's time, Mr. Speaker, to work together as parliamentarians to defend Canada, to invest in Canada, to defend our workers, to invest in our industry.
And Mr. Speaker, I call on all members of this House to do their civic duty to work for the good of Canada so that we can face the incoming American administration.
Mr. Speaker, today we are all Canadians.
Let's work together.
The Honorable Leader of the Opposition.
Mr. Speaker, the NDP leader is absolutely right.
This cannot continue.
This prime minister cannot go on like this.
Housing costs have doubled.
Food bank use has doubled.
The debt has doubled.
Gun crime has doubled.
And now we face troubling tariff threats from a president who can see weakness coming from a mile away.
The prime minister must leave this job.
But there's only one person who can remove him, and that's the leader of the NDP.
Will he put the country ahead of his pension and vote for a carbon tax election now?
Very interesting.
I want to read a letter, a rumble rant from Craig McDonald that is so spot on.
Craig, I hope you don't mind.
I'm going to tweet it.
Craig gives $10 and says, if Trudeau resigns today or the government falls on a confidence motion in the next vote, how much can we attribute it to Trump's tariff tweet?
Craig, I think you were spot on.
I think that's what set things in motion.
That's when the dominoes started to fall.
Here's Melissa Lansman, let's take a listen.
Those are her quotes.
This after her own political rival, Mark Carney wrote the fall economic statement full of things that she didn't want to present.
The old boys club isn't in charge, Canadians are.
And it's time for credible leadership in the seriousness of this moment, not the fake feminism of this phony prime minister.
It's time for Canadians to decide.
So will anyone or everyone over there finally agree?
The Honourable Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
As I mentioned earlier, we are looking forward today to presenting the fall economic statement that is going to have a series of important measures for Canadians.
At a time like this, it is important that all of us band together, united as Canadians, to make sure that we are doing everything we can to protect the Canadian economy, protect Canadian jobs, and to stand up for Canada.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Boy, they're not having a fun time on the Liberal benches, are they?
Mr. Speaker, they can't even stand by each other.
Hours before delivering the fiscal update, the finance minister resigned.
She lost confidence in the Prime Minister.
Last night, the failed housing minister and the worst immigration minister in the history of this country also resigned.
A couple of Randys, and now they're up to nine ministers that need to be replaced.
He's lost control of the government.
The party of backroom boys is over.
The backbench should look up from their laptops, and the NDP leader shouldn't be the only one in this House with confidence in the Prime Minister.
Present the statement and call a vote today.
Hear, hear.
Again, I'm just going to, for the last time.
Order.
Order.
I'm going to ask members once again to remind themselves not to refer to members by their first names.
The Honourable Minister for Housing, Infrastructure and Communities.
Now, Mr. Speaker, I'm not sure who she's talking about, but I'm still here for now.
I can guarantee you, Mr. Speaker, that there are two kinds of people who run for office in politics.
There are people who want to do something, and there are people who want to be somebody.
And I can tell you, on our side of the House, we want to do things.
We want to build the houses to make sure families can afford comfortable aid.
We want to make sure families can afford to keep their food on the table to feed their kids.
We want to make sure people can find a job to go to that gives them a sense of pride and allows them to contribute to their communities.
On the Conservative side, their guy has been writing essays about why he should be Prime Minister since he was a teenager.
The Honourable Member for Calgary Nose Hill.
On Friday, the Prime Minister told Canada's first female finance minister, but to keep sweet and present their wildly overspent budget on Monday so that he and an unelected man, Mark Carbon-Tax Carney, wouldn't have to take the blame for their broken budget.
He then, unbothered, released a video of him making cinnamon buns to get the women folks vote.
How can any woman in that caucus defend that man instead of calling for an election now?
Here, here.
The orders.
The honourable leader of the government in the House of Commons.
Mr. Speaker, I didn't realize cinnamon buns were a gendered food.
But what I would say is that her question says more about how that member and Conservative members view women in this country than anything else.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
The Honourable Member for Calgary Knows Hill.
Facing violence in the streets.
They can't afford groceries.
They can't afford to buy presents for their kids for the holidays.
They can't afford anything.
Canadian women are far worse off under this fake feminist prime minister.
And now he fired Canada's first female finance minister because she dared question him.
That sounds pretty familiar.
No strong woman exists in that caucus.
Why would any woman defend this man instead of calling for an election?
The Honourable Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
Mr. Speaker, I have a lot of respect for that member opposite, but I think she's speaking from her own experience with the Leader of the Official Opposition when she said that she wasn't going to support him and then spent a year in the hinterlands.
But what I will say is that when it comes to actually doing things that support women, we have done that on this side of the House.
Whether it's affordable child care that is making it possible for hundreds of thousands of women to join the workforce, making contraceptions free, or the Canada Child Benefit that is helping families pay the bills.
And what do Conservative members of Parliament do every time?
They vote against them.
So actions speak louder than words, Mr. Speaker.
You know, this is interesting and all, but the only really important thing is that Justin Trudeau is not there.
If he were to resign, he would probably do it on his own timing, perhaps in a TV address or a statement of some sort.
He wouldn't do it in a rushed way in question period, just hours after the bombshell of Freeland's resignation going off.
Why would he resign?
Because the Liberals want him to?
So what?
He looks down on them.
He has contempt for them.
He thinks they don't deserve him.
He's the guy who got them their jobs.
Because it's in the national interest?
Well, that's if you think he's a patriot who puts the national interests ahead of his own personal interests.
He doesn't.
We have no one less than Christia Freeland herself who says as much in her resignation letter, accusing Trudeau putting himself first.
Would he do it because there's media pressure to step down?
He has contempt for the media just as much as Pierre Polyev does.
He just expresses it in a different way.
I don't know if it was ever recorded on video, Olivia.
I don't know if you'd be able to find it, but Pierre Trudeau famously said that MPs are nobodies 100 feet off Parliament Hill.
I don't know if that was a print statement, probably, because back there everything was not video ubiquitous.
But Pierre Trudeau had such contempt for his own MPs that he said, and I think there's some wisdom to it, MPs are nobodies 100 feet off the hill.
Like, who are they?
All Trudeau cares about is winning and feeling good, and quitting is not winning, and quitting is not feeling good.
Sure, he's stressed out by how things are going, but he's never been one to sweat the details.
I noticed that Jagmeet Singh had indicated that he wants Trudeau to resign.
Sure, and I want a pony, but is Singh actually going to do the one thing that would get Trudeau to resign, which is to call a confidence vote?
Here's Jagmeet Singh.
Take a listen.
Right now, Canadians are struggling with the cost of living.
I hear it everywhere I go.
People cannot find a home that they can afford.
They can't buy their groceries.
And on top of that, we have Trump threatening tariffs of 25%, which put hundreds and thousands of Canadian jobs at risk.
And instead of focusing on these issues, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are focused on themselves.
They're fighting themselves instead of fighting for Canadians.
For that reason, today I'm calling on Justin Trudeau to resign.
He has to go.
Will you declare no confidence in the Liberal government as soon as possible?
All tools, all options are on the table.
People are hurting.
That's a no.
They're struggling.
And so all options are on the table.
That means no.
That means no.
You're calling for him to resign, but you are not willing to vote no confidence in his government.
How does those, how do those two things connect?
All options are on the table.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
What does this mean for your support with the Liberals, though?
How can you say he needs to resign, but then you're not telling us what you're going to do for non-confidence?
Telling you that all options are on the table.
We're on the Fez.
Will you support the Fez?
And also, are you willing to continue to support the Liberals if there is a different leader aside from the Freedom?
Right now that's not in front of us.
There's no votes in front of us, but we will take each vote.
And right now, literally everything's on the table.
Are things on the table?
I'm saying, Mr. Singh, that all options are on the table.
So why are you holding out the option to still support this government?
I understand.
Why?
Because he doesn't get his pension unless he's in parliament a few more weeks.
Why are you still holding out the option?
Pension of hope there.
Six letters.
Seven letters.
Possibly support the Fez or possibly support this government in some other way.
Depends on the votes.
And so I want to make it very clear.
Justin Trudeau has to go.
He has to resign.
And because of that, all options are on the table.
And we'll look at each vote and we'll make a decision.
But now all options are on the table.
Paul Wells, go ahead, Paul.
Sir, the people behind you is a parliament.
The government continues to govern as long as MPs continue to have confidence in the government.
You have no say over who the leader of the Liberal Party is.
Will you support the government?
Or are you withdrawing your support from the government?
With respect to that, I've said that all options are on the table.
Oh, my God.
That means as dumb as he looks.
I'm clearly embarrassed.
Given what we have seen.
Okay, you know, he's just adjusting that.
I am truly embarrassed.
Let me translate.
Trudeau's Secret Plan Revealed00:15:20
In case you're having trouble figuring out what he really means, maybe he's not dumb.
Actually, let me take that back.
He's not dumb.
Anyone who treats him seriously is dumb.
Anyone who thinks he's going to answer a question is dumb.
He was asked five times, will you vote against him?
And what was his answer?
All options are on the table.
Which is what he always says when he criticizes Trudeau, but then supports him.
I'm deeply embarrassed for Singh and also for the journalists who go through the motions with him.
Wow.
That's your answer right there.
And frankly, that's what Trudeau is going to say to the MPs.
He's going to say, we have the power to continue.
Jagmeet Singh has given us the power to continue.
We have unfinished business.
And instead of having a crash election right now at the choosing of Christia Freeland and to the delight of Pierre Polyev, let us have an election in three, six, nine months where we basically slow roll the launch, soft launch the campaign right now.
You know what?
If I was Trudeau, that's what I would say.
I would say, look, there will be an election soon, whether it's immediately, in one month, three months, or six months.
Which do you think is more likely to be successful for you?
Hasty now over Christmas on this disastrous note where Christia Freeland has defined the terms?
Or should we have a comeback in 2025, fight for Canada against Donald Trump, demonize Pierre Polyev?
We're defending the country and go out in a blaze of glory.
Either way, there will be an election.
The question is, which timing is more felicitous to the backbench MP?
And of course, it extends Trudeau's power by days or weeks or months.
But I think you could make the case, if you were a crass liberal pragmatist, that calling an election just a week or so before Christmas, because Christia Freeland is mad at you, is not the best timing.
It doesn't even make sense.
So I think Trudeau could negotiate his way through this.
First of all, he doesn't even have to.
So far, other than Christia Freeland, who has stomped out?
Okay, Francis Druin.
You ever heard of him before today?
Me neither.
That guy, Chad.
You know?
Trudeau wasn't the Trudeau.
Why would Trudeau go to question period?
It's not like he answers questions anyways.
He's got better things to do.
We'll see.
I mean, all of this is sort of funny because I just last week launched my new book called Trudeau's Secret Plan.
Well, what he'll do to us if he wins again.
Do you have the little video clip of that?
Let's end on that note.
I knew that Trudeau was in trouble.
I didn't know it would be so soon.
And I'm not going to pretend that my book's what did it.
But the book did make it to the Amazon bestseller list within a day of being listed.
Do you have the video from Trudeau's Secret Plan?
I just want to give you a little taste of the book, which you can order right now.
And I tell you, we are in interesting times, but there is nothing that I know about Trudeau's personality that would make him say, sure, for the interests of my fellow MPs and in the interests of my country, I'm going to step down now.
Why would he do that?
He's never done that in his life.
He disrespects the country and his MPs.
He's all about power.
And there are many people who have a lot at stake here besides the MPs.
The Chinese government, for example, the Iranian government, for example.
Think of all the people who are really betting on Trudeau and their fate is wrapped up with his.
All right, here's a quick look at my book video for Trudeau's Secret Plan.
Take a look.
My new book is out.
It's called Trudeau's Secret Plan.
What he'll do to us if he wins again.
It's the sequel to my 2019 bestseller, The Labranos, What the Media Won't Tell You About Justin Trudeau's Corruption.
By the way, Trudeau is still prosecuting me for that book, claiming it was illegal campaign interference.
I was in the Federal Court of Appeal just last month, and Trudeau had four government lawyers with four assistants arrayed against me.
He really has a thin skin.
Well, he's not going to like this book either, I'll tell you that.
Back in 2019, Trudeau's mask still hadn't slipped off for most people.
Many ordinary Canadians still bought into his image as a friendly, modern, open-minded guy.
I don't think that a lot of people believe that anymore, not even his own MPs, not even his own wife.
He's only in it for himself.
He's a narcissist.
He's an authoritarian bully.
He's a sociopath who only cares about power, who only cares about himself.
And that's the theme of this book.
Trudeau's down in the polls, but he'll do anything to survive.
Trudeau's more desperate than ever.
He's more corrupt than ever.
He's more angry than ever.
And he's more determined than ever to hold on to power at all costs.
What happens if he actually pulls it off?
Trudeau's secret plan weaves together different threads of Trudeau's obsessions from financial corruption to globalism to his complex censorship schemes.
Backed into a corner, Trudeau has never been more dangerous.
This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about Canada and wants to stop Trudeau from destroying it.
It's a quick read, but it's jammed full of footnotes.
So you can check any fact you like.
That's important because if you've been relying on Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster to tell you the truth about him, well, a lot of this book will come as a shocking surprise to you.
So get Trudeau's secret plan right now.
It's for sale on Amazon.ca or the special website we've set up at Trudeau'SecretPlan.com.
It's just $21.99 and it ships super fast pretty much next day.
Get the book now and get one for your liberal friends too, if you have any.
Here at Rebel News, we tell the other side of the story.
Let the CBC write daily love letters to their boss Trudeau.
But to find out the truth, the truth that the CBC won't tell you, you've got to buy this book.
Go to Trudeau'ssecretplan.com or Amazon today.
I made that video last week.
The book rolled out.
You want to show the Amazon page just so people can see it?
Little did I know that as that book was going out, Christy Freeland had hatched her plan to detonate Justin Trudeau.
I mean, boy, did she scheme.
And she kept a secret, didn't she?
There was no inkling of what she would do.
What's the ranking on that book?
It hit number 10 the other day, but I think it sagged down a bit.
Do you know how to find that by scrolling down a little bit?
Anyways, what's the likelihood that Trudeau will continue on?
I think he's going to hold on for dear life.
What's the likelihood that he wins the next election?
I think he's going to lose the next election.
You know, if you, anyhow, if you go on the actual book page itself and then scroll down to the publisher's data, it'll tell you their ranking.
So, yeah, so a little bit further down and right there.
So just put that on the screen so everyone can see.
I'm just curious myself.
So it's the number one political book in Canada.
That's great.
What is it in the general rankings?
Don't worry about it.
I'll check later.
I'm just excited the book got out before he was fired.
So to recap, Trudeau is in trouble, but you could say he was in trouble from his very first day.
I mean, despite the massive media advantage, he had never, what was the highest percentage of vote he ever got?
Was it even 40%?
In his 2019 election, he squeaked by again.
In 2021, he actually got less votes than the Conservatives.
And right now, he would be trounced if polls hold up.
But so what?
He's never blinked.
He never says die.
He's got a deep confidence in himself.
And yet, can you, don't worry about the book message anymore.
Can you find that clip of Trudeau and his then-wife, Sophie, at the boxing match when she says, be humble.
And he says, baby, I was made for this.
Can you find that clip?
There's a lot in that clip.
His confidence in himself, his belief that he's underestimated, his never say die.
That's the clip right there.
Yeah, blow that up and put the put the audio up.
She tells him to be humble.
I don't think either of those two know what that word means.
Let's take a look.
I was put on this planet to do this.
I fight and I win.
That's what I'm good at.
You're only sick and I have.
You fight from a good place.
Boy.
What is that picture?
Be humble.
Yeah, you fight from a good place.
Maybe, but I think it's more from a place of narcissism and authoritarianism and a supreme sense of, well, he has a great admiration.
He is his greatest admirer.
He is his own biggest fan.
And he, I mean, he was born on Christmas Day, December 25th.
And I think he maybe thinks he's got a bit of a prophetic destiny in him.
He's the chosen one, the precious one.
I was put on this earth to do this.
I fight and I win.
If you were brutally honest, you would have to say that has been more true than untrue.
He won the liberal leadership.
He won a majority government right off the bat.
He won against two conservatives after that, Andrew Scheer and Aaron O'Toole.
And is he going to step aside because people he plucked from obscure, again, put yourself in his shoes.
Who had ever heard of Christia Freeland before Trudeau?
She was some, you know, author, a generic author who ran a company into the ground in New York City and basically sold out to George Soros and said, all right, I'll write your book for you.
That was who she was.
No one had heard of her other than some obscure circles.
Trudeau made Christia Freeland.
Have you ever heard of Karina Gould before?
Have you ever heard of François-Philippe Champagne before?
Melanie Jolie was like a local politician who has been clearly promoted far beyond her abilities.
Trudeau looks at these people and knows that he gave them the handout.
You ever heard of Arif Virani before this?
Look at Donald Trump and how he selected his cabinet.
I mean, spectacular leaders from around the world, whether it's Elon Musk or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or, you know, the head of Cantor Fitzgerald as his commerce secretary, Marco Rubio for foreign secretary, Harmee Dillon, perhaps America's leading civil liberties lawyer, the deputy attorney general.
I mean, you can disagree with some of his picks, of course, but a lot of Trump's people, now, remember, Americans can choose their cabinet from anyone in the world.
They're not just choosing from the 435 congressmen.
That would really limit the choices.
But Trudeau can accurately say, I created you.
I invented you.
I gave life to your campaign.
I gave you power.
I gave you everything.
And now you're turning on me.
Even Jagmeet Singh won't turn on me, but you do, because that ingrate, that ungrateful Christia Freeland detonated on us all.
We will have an election, he could say, but it won't be right now on the timing of her choice.
It'll be in the timing of my choice and of our choice, he might say.
And let's give it a good run and let's use Donald Trump as our foil and let's see the best we can do.
And maybe we'll just pull it off.
I don't know.
What's the alternative?
I mean, because that's the thing.
Let's say that Christia Freeland and the other rebels had their way right now.
And an election was called right now.
Justin Trudeau is the candidate going into the polls.
they're going to get absolutely detonated.
So Christian Freeland will not be the leader.
Mark Carney will not be the leader.
Melanie Jolie, François-Philippe Champagne, they will not be the leader in this next election.
Imagine this quarreling in an election campaign.
Trudeau might say, all right, we'll take it.
And then maybe in the summer, he'll resign on his own terms and then let the party choose its successor and then watch that successor explode and crash and burn.
But seriously, I mean, I think Trudeau has been the worst prime minister since his father.
And in some ways, more damaging.
I think his mass immigration has had a permanent deleterious effect of this country that we may never recover from.
I want him gone.
I think he has eroded our Canadian identity.
He's eroded the sovereignty of our parliament.
He's an atrocious globalist.
He's an environmental cultist.
He's an obscene censor.
These are all the things I talk about in my book, Trudeau's Secret Plan.
But if I go through the thought exercise of saying, what would I say to my caucus if I were him?
And what might the caucus be open to?
I think if I said, do you want an election right now over Christmas, or do you want one in a more orderly fashion when we can put together a proper pre-writ campaign?
Doesn't that make more sense?
There will be an election within the next 12 months.
Jagmeet Singh is so loyal.
I tell you, ladies, get yourself a man as loyal as Jagmeet Singh.
Get yourself a man as forgiving as Jagmeet Singh.
Loyalty And Indiscretions00:03:10
Ladies, you can do anything when you got yourself a Jagmeat Singh in your corner.
Blow up the credit card?
No worries.
Have an infidelity or other indiscretion?
No worries.
All choices, all options are on the table.
Is there anything he won't abide?
Is there any humiliation he won't say, well, I'm opposed to this, but I'm going to think about it a little bit.
Oh my God.
If only I had, well, you wouldn't want a friend like Jagmeet Singh because he, one of the things we value in friends is that they have the courage and the candor to tell you when you're wrong.
Isn't that, frankly, the only people who you trust to tell you you're wrong are your friends because you know they have your interests at heart and you know not to take it as a personal slight.
What use is a friend like Jagmeet Singh?
Oh my God, he is at least the number two story of the day.
But that's, I think I'm going to wrap it there.
We've been doing the live stream for two hours.
It's been a pleasure to be on here.
And I want to read one more message from our friends at Rumble.
You know, in today's society, it's tough to be a man in a world dominated by overly masculine, liberal women.
That's just not how it's meant to be.
Everywhere we look, it's gender neutral, this product or made for her, that product.
That's why we started, our friends at Rumble started a company that embodies the ethos of men's lives matter too.
With products that aren't designed to be gender neutral or used by people with pronouns, products at Rumble are designed and built by men for men, period.
If you struggle with low energy mood swings or hair loss, or if you need to perform better at the gym, maybe in bed and recover quicker after, hey, I'm just reading what Rumble says.
Throw out all your other garbage supplements and try animal organs.
They're traditionally the most nutrient-rich supplements on the planet, but our bison organs are a step above.
The grass-fed, non-vaccinated bison are a species where the weak are allowed to die and only the strongest survive.

That's a pretty exciting new sponsor of this live stream.
And I'm delighted that Rumble has it on our channel.
So thank you to them.
And I'll have to check it out.
I've always liked bison meat, you know, ever since I was growing up in Alberta and there were herds of bison out there.
All right, my friends.
Well, it is 3.05.
Thank you to our friends at Rumble and thanks to Chris Pavlovsky.
Pardon me?
We have one super chat or Rumble rant, excuse me.
Exciting New Sponsor Announcement00:04:06
And I'm just looking for that right now.
Is that in the live stream script?
And who's it from?
Arlene, you say?
There it is.
Arlene, $50.
Oh my gosh, Arlene, thank you very much.
Happy Hanukkah to you, Ezra, your family, and all rebels everywhere.
Well, that is nice of you.
And that's a very lovely thing to say.
I appreciate that.
You know, it's a festival of lights.
And I got to tell you, being a Jew in Canada is one of the best places in the world to be a Jew.
But these days, it's a little bit tough because there's this anti-Semitic crime wave.
And of course, the terrible news from overseas.
And even in my own neighborhood of Armor Heights, there's this insane pro-Hamas protest every week.
And as you know, I went there and the police arrested me for being on the sidewalk.
They said my mere presence was inciting others to breach the peace.
Just atrocious.
So it's nice to receive a friendly message of happy Hanukkah.
And I will.
And here's hoping that 2025 is a year of peace and freedom and prosperity and justice, a year where Justin Trudeau is relegated to the history books and Canada can go down the path of rejuvenation and renovation, rededication to our values.
And just as it is being said throughout America that they are making their country great again, I hope 2025 is the year when we can make Canada great again too.
Well, that's our live stream for the day.

Hi, everybody.
It's a Christmas tradition here at Rebel News for me to take an entire show to answer your questions to me.
Questions about anything.
I mean, sure, it could be about the news of the day, but you can ask me really anything about Rebel News itself, about our team, about our business, about our plans, even personal questions if you want.
I mean, I'm sure there are some things I would decline to answer for privacy reasons, but I'll be as candid as I can be.
It's basically an ask-me-anything show.
Just go on over to letters to Ezra.ca, letterstoezra.ca, and send in your questions, and I'll read them wearing a Santa hat.
Now, my friends, David Menzies and Sheila Gunread, will be doing the same thing, too.
And at the same website, you can direct your letters to them.
I think there's a lot of great questions, and I have a few questions I might put to David Menzies myself.
So anyways, go and send me your friendliest or toughest questions, and I'll answer as many as I can fit into the show.
And my friends, David and Sheila, will do the same.
