Ezra Levant argues Christia Freeland’s December 16 resignation—amid $250 Christmas gift debates and a $62B deficit—exposes Trudeau’s weakened leadership, with Freeland positioning herself for a future bid while dismissing provincial cooperation as disingenuous. Freeland’s grandfather’s Nazi ties and her alleged fascist sympathies (Bandera scarf, Soros/WEF connections) fuel claims of "Nazi instincts," including Emergencies Act abuses freezing protester accounts without due process. Trudeau’s authoritarian leanings—praised by Castro, admired for China’s "flexibility"—and Singh’s cautious pension-driven stance suggest a government clinging to power despite internal collapse. With Poilievre’s attacks and potential election timing, Trudeau’s survival hinges on deflecting blame onto Trump while delaying accountability past 2025. [Automatically generated summary]
Wow, we were covering the detonations in Ottawa in real time.
Christia Freeland just ambushing Justin Trudeau with a bitter criticism and a resignation, throwing the whole party into disarray, calling for more resignations.
But I think Trudeau will tough it out.
He always has before.
Things are worse than ever, but what does he care?
I'd love you to see the video version of this.

You know, nowadays, it feels like censorship is creeping into every corner of our lives, whether it's the news we access, our posts on social media, or even how we choose to manage our families' wealth.
With companies like BlackRock amassing substantial voting power through passive investing, it's up to people like you to take back the power of your investments by working with a firm that shares your values.
That's why we have partnered with Rocklink Investment Partners.

All right, here's today's podcast.
Tonight, Christy Freeland drops a bomb on Justin Trudeau, criticizing him and resigning on the same day.
What's next?
It's December 16th, and this is the Ezra Levant show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
Election During Christmas Break00:05:11
You know, I just got the copy of my new book, hot in my hands here, Trudeau's secret plan, what he'll do to us if he wins again.
I'm not sure if he's going to win again.
I don't think there's a path to victory for him very likely.
But what he will try to do and what he will do in the remaining weeks and months of his tenure will be astonishing.
And I sort of laid that out in the book.
By the way, thanks to everybody who has bought the book so far.
Climbed up, I think, number 10 on the bestsellers list of all books, number one political book in Canon over the weekend.
So thank you for that.
Anyhow, I want to tell you about this amazing day, amazing in terms of the ice breaking in like a mighty river that's frozen over and then the ice breaks and things start to move.
Christy Freeland, who has been the essential deputy to Justin Trudeau for his entire tenure.
I mean, deputy prime minister and finance minister and sort of acting foreign minister in the case of Ukraine and acting intergovernmental affairs ministers and she really has done a bit of everything.
And even though I don't think she's the sharpest knife in the drawer, she is hardworking.
You have to give her that.
And for her to have been the essential loyalist for so long and then to quit and not just quit, but quit just hours before she was scheduled to delay to deliver her mini budget update, throwing the government into such disarray, managing to keep that a secret, by the way.
Just incredible to look at and to see the scrambling in the government benches.
Anyways, I did a special two-hour live stream about this today while it was happening in real time.
And I think I made some points there that I would like to share with you.
Obviously, not the full two hours of it.
So we've boiled it down to the essence.
But after thinking about it for half a day, here's my thinking.
I don't actually think that he will win the next election.
I think that's very unlikely.
But I am absolutely certain that he will not give up easily.
He will not bend to pressure.
He doesn't care what MPs say.
He looks at MPs as people he has given bonuses and benefits to.
Even Christia Freeland, all these people would be no name nobodies were it not for Justin Trudeau selecting them, anointing them, making them his MPs.
So I don't think he respects his MPs.
If anything, he has contempt for them.
He would look at an MP saying, please resign and say, how dare you?
I gave you everything you have and now you turn against me.
You don't deserve me.
He's had that kind of aloofness and contempt since his first days as PM.
And remember, his own father, Pierre Trudeau, said, MPs are nobodies 100 feet off Parliament Hill.
So I think that Justin Trudeau simply is not a quitter, even if the odds are against him.
You're going to have to wrench it out of his cold, dead hands.
And I think the most astonishing thing after Christia Freeland's letter today was Jagmeet Singh saying, I think Trudeau should resign, but when being pressed on, it says that he's refusing to commit to voting no confidence.
So Jagmeet Singh is completely fine with things slouching forward.
And even if you are a liberal MP who's a rebel, what are you going to do?
You're going to force a non-confidence vote now in the final days of the House sitting in 2024.
So we're thrown into an election over the Christmas break.
I mean, you're going to get slaughtered.
And of course, Justin Trudeau would most likely be the candidate in that campaign.
I mean, you don't have time to replace him.
Just what exactly are you proposing to do?
So I think Trudeau will survive this detonation.
It is a huge detonation.
I think the government has lost all credibility, even watching the press scrum Jagmeet Singh and scrum.
I mean, obviously, Trudeau is hiding from the press today.
Marks a sea change.
People see Trudeau as a dead man walking, but he believes he can win.
He believes he's the chosen one.
And he has won long shots before.
And remember my theory I shared with you the other day.
Trudeau doesn't want to run against Pierre Polyev.
All the polls say he'll lose that.
But if Trudeau can run against Trump, now that's a more even matchup because Trump is not that well liked in Canada.
And if Trump actually does impose 25% tariffs on Canada, it'll be so shocking to our economy and cause such damage that Trudeau will be able to say, Trump is the cause of your evils, not me.
Trump is the cause of our poverty, not me.
So vote for me instead of Trump and Trump's puppet in Canada, Pierre Polyev.
It's a long shot.
I think it's going to be highly destructive to the country.
I don't think it will work, but I bet that's what he does in the months ahead.
So I think that Trudeau will be in power as long as he likes.
I think that we will wind up going to the polls in September of 2025.
And when I look through the things that he intends to do with his remaining months, they are, in fact, terrifying.
On that note, let me leave you with the highlights of my two-hour live stream today on Chrystia Freeland's war, insurrection, if you will, against Justin Trudeau.
Trump's Billion-Dollar Promise00:14:35
Hi, everybody.
Ezra Levant here.
I'm here hosting the live stream.
What a pleasure to be back in this chair.
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 a 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 are, 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 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've got to fight.
But 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 power 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 Soft Bank 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, double-daughter 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 million, he said, believe it or not, 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 partnership with you, with your support, I will try to make it happen.
That's good.
200.
He'll make it.
200 billion investment.
He's 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 is what he just did.
And I would be surprised if what did go to do, would 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.
I will have our country's support.
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 SoftBank 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.
Fraser's Exit Strategy00:09:41
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.
That 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.
I want to show you a few other vids 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.
François-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 François-Philippe Champagne.
I understand that he was asked by Drudeau to deliver the Paul Economic Statement today, and he just refused.
Take a look.
So you don't think this has anything to do with a lack of confidence in the leadership of the Liberal Party?
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 Christia 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.
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 Falkman, 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 Druan.
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.
Nazi SS Officer in Parliament00:03:23
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 basically go Ukraine, strength to 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 Hanka, 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 being 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.
Announcing George Soros00:05:17
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.
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?
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 2015, 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 Thomson 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's 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 is 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 also, 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 them, 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 our eyes.
So there's another generation.
By the way, Alex Soros is now dating Huma Abedin.
Actually, they're married.
Huma Abadin, Hillary Clinton's former staffer.
Accounts Frozen, Trauma Unfroze00:03:29
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.
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 Christia 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 go fund me 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.
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.
Under Arrest for Assault00:02:35
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 Islam on that?
What are you doing?
You're under arrest for assault.
Why are you pushing me?
You're under arrest for assault.
Who are you?
Under arrest?
Police.
Police, you're under arrest.
How am I under arrest?
You bumped into me.
You pushed into me.
I was just scrubbing.
I got my credentials here, and you just bumped into me.
So police.
You're under arrest.
What is your name in your badge?
Why is your name in your badge?
Why am I under arrest?
He brought my race.
I was just scrubbing Christia Freeland.
I'm a police officer.
You're under arrest.
What is your name in your badge?
How is that possible?
Okay, because you assaulted me three years ago when Blackface on track.
I was very aggressive with the topic.
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?
It appeared I was pushing people.
I didn't touch a single person.
I was a little bit aggressive for what was happening.
You're under arrest.
Please take the microphone out of my face.
Marco Rubio's Chaos Theory00:14:41
Well, I just want to say that.
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.
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, do you have confidence in a Trudeau government to lead Canada into a terror four 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 brave 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.
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 answer, an 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, and then he 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.
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 Wazano, more commonly known as the two Randys, 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.
Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that economic update.
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.
Canada, 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.
Does the election itself need to take place before January the 20th when the catastrophic 25% tariff is slated to come into effect?
That would be, 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.
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 government 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.
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 are 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 do those two things connect?
All options are on the table.
Oh my gosh.
Armbarrant.
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 United States?
Yes, all options are on the table.
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.
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?
Six letters.
Seven letters.
Possibly support the Fez or possibly support this government in some other way.
It depends on the votes.
And so I want to make it very clear.
Justin Chudeau has to go.
He has to resign.
And because of that, all options are on the table.
We'll look at each vote and we'll make a decision.
But now all options are on the table.
Quick pause.
Sir, the problem 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 he looks.
I'm clearly embarrassed.
All Options On The Table00:03:13
Given what we have seen.
You know, he's just going to see that.
I am truly embarrassed.
Let me translate, 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 Druan.
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.
